The Oshawa Eines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Declaration Of Rights By Itself Not Enough Today is the 14th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Hu- man Rights. It was a braye gesture at the time, but one cannotgay that' there has been any universal at- tempt to make it effective. It is easy to grow indignant over what others are or are not doing, however. When one starts a discus- sion about such things as human rights, justice, discrimination and 80 on, one should first look at the situation at home. Enactment of the Ontario Human Rights Code brings together in a single statute all the various pieces of-human rights legislation passed since 1944, The scope of the On- tario Human Rights Commission has been enlarged and a full-time director and staff appointed. Premier Robarts says that, as a result of this consolidation and ex- Biggest Aid There is no more competitive field than that of gasoline retailing, and fairly recently the competition has been intensified by the move of discount houses; department and automotive stores into the gasoline field and the move of some gasoline companies into the field of auto accessories and non-automotive pro- ducts. W. R. Kedwell, manager of retail sales planning and co-ordination for Imperial Oil Limited, discussed this competition last week ata meeting of the University of Western On- tario's Marketing Club. He des- cribed the various sales. problems "end conditions, and Imperial's pro- gram to maintain and increase its share of the growing market. It is an extensive, extraordinarily pansion, "we are now in a much better position to proceed with a greatly expanded educational pro-. gram,: designed to make the aims of the Code better known and understood by our people." He adds: "It is a matter of gratification, too, that in the development of its program of enlightenment the Com- mission is receiving the active and wholehearted co-operation of our churches, schools, industry, trade unions, and a wide variety of com- munity organizations." Legislations, of course, can only be as effective as society permits it to be. This is particularly true in such an area as human rights, which are often difficult to define and easily bruised by ignorance, prejudice and suspicion. That is why Mr. Robarts' emphasis on the educational aspects of the provincial rights program is encouraging. To Sales well prepared program, and after describing it, Mr. Kedwell said this: "No program like this, of course, could succeed with adequate adver- tising support. Here. again a new approach was needed and, for the first time, Imperial began adver- tising by the 'tear and compare' method of ad that you're familiar with from department and discount stores. We wanted fast impact and flexibility. We also wanted to ham- mer home to customers not only the variety and quality of the items that our stations now offered but the competitive prices that they were being sold at. We chose news- papers as our principal medium .. ." And so do all other thoughtful merchandisers who want to boost sales, Fine Reference Book The Canada Year Book for 1962 has now appeared, and once again i is packed with an extraordinary amount of information. The Year Book carries a sub-title, "Official Statistical Annual of the Resources, History, Institutions and Social and Economic Conditions of Canada," and each year it lives up to that imposing description. Special feature articles are pre- sented in each edition of the Year Book: Those in the current issue include "Economic Regions of Can- ada", "Social Welfare Expenditures in Canada," "Recent Changes 'in Canadian Agriculture", "The Petro- chemical. Industry in Canada" and ." 'Revolution in Canadian Transpor- tation."

In a preface, Dominion statis- tician Walter Duffitt notes that "as the economy of the country has expanded, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics has endeavored to present the story of this. development, Summarizing a great mass of de- tailed statistical information con- cisely. within the covers of one volume and supplementing it with data from other departments of the federal government and from the provinces." The task is a big and difficult one, but the Bureau's staff con- tinues to do it well. The Canada Year Book is indeed an invaluable volume for anyone interested in the nation's development. Spendin which government spends what and how efficiently the spending is done. A table in The National Finances, an annual issued by the Canadian Tax Foundation, shows that when inter - governmental transfers are subtracted from the federal account _and added to the provincia)-muni- cipal acount, the latter two levels of government spent nearly as much as Ottawa does. In fact, in recent years their combined spending has shown greater increase than has federal expenditure. In 1951, exclusive of inter-govern- mental transfers, federal expendi- ture was $2,830,000,000 and the provincial-municipal total was $2,- 154,000,000. In 1961, most recent year for which complete statistics are available, the comparative figures were $5,987,000,000 and $5,915,000,000. The other factor in this equation: in 1951 transfer pay- ments from Ottawa to other gov- ernments amounted to $259,000,000, and in 1961 the figure was $1,- 123,000,000. THE BACK-SEAT DRIVERS QUEEN'S PARK Labor Interested In Liberal Idea By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--A month ago you would have said it couldn't hap- pen, But now it appears the Liberals may get some substan- tial support, formal or informal, from organized labor. This stems from the "'strike- breaking"' speech of leader John Wintermeyer at the O. F. of L. convention at Niagara Falls. At the time it looked as though this speech--which resulted in an obviously spur-of-the moment reply to a question on strike- breaking-might well have been the boob of the year. Now it appears it may pay big dividends. LEADERS COME Since the speech various la- bor leaders, at their own re- quest, have had private talks with Mr. Wintermeyer. They haven't come to him to hand over the labor vote, even their personal ballots. But they have been strongly interested in finding out just what the Liberal leader does think on labor matters. And the report--from labor circles--is that some, at least, have not been unimpressed. NO PARTNERSHIP It is unlikely that there ever could be any direct affiliation of labor--or sections of it--with the Liberals as there is with the NDP. or It is said that labor leadership would want a formal affiliation of unions and locals with any party it supported. : The day might come when our traditional political parties might give a voice at their con- ventions to delegates from busi- ness, labor, the universities and READERS' VIEWS FLUORIDATION Dear Sir: I would like to voice my opinion on one-sided councillors and council meet- ings. On Monday night Dec. 3, 1962, in the Whitby Municipal Build- ing, 405 Dundas street west, Councillor Paul Coath saw fit to invite Dr. Andrew Glenny to address council on Fluoridation, but Paul Coath did not ask any- one to speak on behalf of let- ters and literature received by council, opposing fluoridation. Our council did 'not read let- ters sent in by other citizens and myself. The Whitby office of -The Times has carbon copies of my letter which was registered to Mr, Stan Martin, our Mayor. What is our council afraid of? Fluoridation in Whitby has al- ways been discussed on the one side -- for. If fluoride is sé wonderful, the dentists who are for it should be getting ready for an- other position in. life. Under the Food and Drug Act, Sodium Fluoride is a drug. I do. not believe in this drug being forced on me or my fam- ily. Mass medication of a drug is wrong no matter how small the dosage. Everything in our households such as iodized salt, is used by freedom of choice. Aspirins are by freedom of choice and im- munization is by freedom of choice, by individual choice upon our family doctor's recom. mendation. The statement that medical and dental associations have approved fluoridation of water supplies, definitely does not mean all doctors or all dentists approve of fluoride, because we all know that no association ever has a perfect turn out, and, therefore the only persons ap- proving are the percentage there to vote. Under Whitby Council briefs on Page 5, Oshawa Times, Wed- nesday, Dec. 5, 1962, I have read: "Human Rights Day". Town Council approved a re- commendation of the bylaws and applications committee that Dec. 10, 1962, be declared Human Rights Day. In answer PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Conscience doesn't make cow- ards of all. Some people can and do. make their consciences lie down and play dead. A doctor says people who hate to get up in the morning are neurotic. That isn't true in the case. of many people -- they're just sleepy. to a question posed by Council- lor Joyce Burns, Mayor Martin said that the day honored the passing of the Human Rights Act by the Ontario Legislature which guaranteed human liber- ties and rights. Under the brief I ask, why did our letters not get read at the council meeting? Why must we be forced to drink fluoridat- ed water? Why do some doctors and dentists recommend that the drug "Sodium Fluoride'? be added to the water supply, when our doctors believe in pa- tients being examined before prescribing drugs for their pa- tients? Why should thousands of people pay extra on their water bills when fluoride is of no value to them? I am a mother, and if my children need fluoride for their teeth, I wish to exercise my freedom of choice to have it, or refuse it. I believe in a proper diet, good dental hygiene and pay my own bills. Keeping our dentists employ- ed taking care of our families may be the least expensive in the end. It is time for all people to do more serious thinking, take more interest in better leader- ship, look into our freedom of rights, our food and drug laws and act now. Why waste fluoride on thou- sands of people who do not want it, and, to whom it is of no value. A petition against fluoridation in Whitby water supply can halt fluoride being added to the water and a new plebiscite call- ed for in December 1963, MRS. BEULAH STURGESS Whitby. b other sections of the commu- nity, in addition to their regular riding representatives. But this would be a small voice. And it is not possible to see them give labor, or any other section of the community, more than this. They are parties of all the people, and all the community. And they couldn't live with la- bor taking the dominant role it has in the NDP and the old CCF. MORE MATURE This, however, does not mean it would not be possible for sec- tions of labor to give regular support to the Liberals. And also it. is far from im- possible that it might do so. Labor leadership, after its strenuous efforts in organizing the NDP, saw the party get practically nowhere in the fed- eral election. : It sees it, falling Off in Sas- katchewan--partly through the prominence it itself has in the party. In practical terms it sees no chance of it taking over either federally, or winning any prov- ince except Saskatchewan. Our top rank in labor has been getting more mature. It canj see where it has gone beyond the day where its case must be shouted across the floor from the opposition sides of our houses of parliament. It knows that it would have a more effective voice today, now that its basic battles have been fought and won, from the inner circle of governments in power. And the obvious opportunity to get this is with the Liberals. OTTAWA REPORT War Museum Plan Obtains Support By PATRICK NICHOLSON Canada's long and glorious military record has attracted the interest of a famous vet- eran of our two greatest wars. He has conceived the project of recording this aspect of our his- tory in an appropriate national war museum. Fortunately for Canada, he now is in the right position to inaugurate his im- aginative:and worthwhile idea to round out our national heritage. This double veteran is Hon. Gordon Churchill, minister of veterans affairs. He joined the army before his 18th birthday, and served over- seas as a machine gunner from 1916 to 1919. Twenty years later the was among the first Cana- dians to put~on uniform. From 1939 to 1945 he 'served with the Fort Garry Horse Regiment and then was appointed com- manding officer of the 1st Ca- madian Armored Carrier Regi- ment in the Normandy invasion. By war's end he had risen to the rank of colonel and had been awarded the Distinguished Service Order. OTHER EXAMPLES Mr. Churchill is a thinking man. He is deeply interested in our history, especially our' po- litical and military past. In other countries, he has visited war museums and studied the preservation of battlefield areas. He has been impressed by the battlefield of Gettysburg in the United States which our neigh- bors have laid out and pre- served as a_ national shrine marking the high tide of the yerewne advance in Civil ar, This public show place, he says is visited by 1,500,000 tour- ists every year. He has also visited, and has formed ideas for improving, our great shrine at Vimy. . By comparison with other countries, Canada has done lit- tle in this field. We do have an inadequately small war mu- seum in Ottawa, tucked away behind a huge and hideous tem- porary shack dedicated to the subsidized bed and board of 300 government typists. We do have some remarkable battlefield sites and interesting restored forts scattered widely about the country. The unregenerated Plains of Abraham at Quebec City is.our most famous but least interesting military show- place.

The details of this proposed Canadian national war museum remain to be worked out.
