| She pe oe Set Oshawa Tunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Inquiries Are Necessary For Security Of Nation More than once we have criticized the RCMP for high-handed methods in the handling of some situations. But we believe that the Mounties are being victimized in the current attempts to create the impression that they are creating a reign of terror at the country's universities. Complaints that RCMP Investi- gations of university students or faculty members are suppressing __«eeademic freedom are not new. * They crop up every two or three years -- and it's a good bet that they originate with those very few denizens of the campuses who would be delighted if they could establish-an image of the RCMP as a sort of Gestapo working in a police state. Few indeed are the undergraduates or faculty mem- bers who ever come in contact with the RCMP. Now, once again, the tired old complaint has reached the floor of the Commons -- and it is typical of the time-wasting tactics of this House that questions were asked about it. Justice Minister Fleming has properly pointed out that the job of the police is law enforcement. Members of the RCMP do go to universities at times to carry out inquiries into prospective employ- ees of public companies and private companies involved in defence work. If the RCMP or some equivalent agency did not carry out such inquiries, the government would be gravely at fault. There is no argu- ment about the necessity of aca- demic freedom, but at the same time let's not kid oourselves about the nature of Communism and the pur- pose and dedication of Communists. A Communist is much more than a member of a political party. He is a member of a movement de- dicated to the destruction of de- mocracy. His only loyalty is to that movement and to the unholy doc- trine preached by either Khrush- chev or Mao. He will lie, cheat, corrupt and betray for that move- ment, and if he had his way, this Canada of ours would be just another Communist satellite and truly a police state. If inquiries must be made to keep him out of sensitive positions, then by all means let them be made. They MUST be made. Research On Detergents It is good news that the deter- gent industry is spending millions to eliminate the suds that increas- ingly are polluting lakes, streams and even home tap water. The Wall Street Journal reports that "some of their research shows signs of paying off". Meanwhile, of course, the suds damage continues. The Soap and Detergent Asso- ciation is, quite properly, worried that mounting public concern over suds in water systems may hurt sales and prompt restrictive legis- lation. West Germany has already give the manufacturers a deadline to produce detergents that do not have a high resistance to the bacteria that are relied on to con- sume sewage -- produce or get out of business. And that is the action that should be taken by Canada and the United States. It would have a salutary effect on the speed of the research being under- taken. An industry spokesman is quoted as saying: "Detergent makers and their suppliers are spending $6 mil- lion and $7 this year on tetergent and water pollution research. That's about five times what they were spending four years ago." That is in the United States, of course. Figures for Canada do not seem to be available. The parliamentary committee that is to look into control of drugs and the use of pesticides and insec- ticides could well devote some time to this problem of detergent pollu- tion. As a result of complaints about high concentration of deter- gents in drinking water from many communities in the United States, several states are considering legal action in this field. In New York, a special committee of the legis- lature is studying the role of deter- gents in water pollution on Long Island. Maryland officials are con- templating restriction on the sale of high-studying detergents. Rivers are being polluted, sewage plants are being clogged. The public cost must run to many millions more dollars than are being spent on research. Ombudsmen Are Needed Canada's government has been brought face-to-face with the Om- budsman by the action of one of its own supporters, Arthur Smith, MP, of Calgary South, in introdu- cing a bill to set up this Scandi- navian institution in our federal system, the Vancouver Sun notes, and goes on to comment: The principle of the thing is so important for the rights of the in- dividual in this modern age of bur- geoning bureaucracy that it's to be expected there will be fullest facili- ties for debate. Stripped of details, the bill would provide for a commisioner, appoint- ed by Parliament, to investigate any grievance against the adminis- trative functioning of the federal government or any of its corpora- tions.

Britain is considering a modified version. New Zealand's first Ombudsman, Sir Guy Powles, began work October 1 and already has 180 cases to investigate. The fact that the first Canadian bill was introduced by a govern- ment member may be significant of the government's own interest in the idea. There should be an Ombudsman in every province, as well as in Ot- tawa. The principle that the in- dividual should not merely be enabled to stand up to the govern- ing power but should have the right to sue in it court without hindrance (a right lacking in B.C. except on permission from the gov- ernment), the right of access to a public defender, and access to free legal aid in civil causes if he needs it. The recital of these needs shows how backward we actually are. It gives point to something Sir Guy Powles said soon after taking office -- that the presumption on which an Ombudsman should work is that every complainant is right until he is proved wrong. If this presumption is accepted at the start in the parliamentary debate on the Smith bill, it should have an easy passage to enactment.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times NEWHAVEN, Sussex -- The end of 200 years of military oc- cupation of an area of the Sussex Coast line at Newhaven, used for that length of time as a fort, and the land adjoining ment, were handed back to the Newhaven local council. The Fort at Newhaven dates back to the year 1756. In that year there was a threat from invasion by French troops. The Board of Ordnance, to meet this threat, issued instructions that nine "sea batteries', in- cluding one at Newhaven, should be erected along the unprotected it, owned by the War Depart- YOUR HEALTH Cornea Transplant Restores Eyesight By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molmer: Will you please give me some informa- tion about an "eye bank" Or is there any such thing? I think blood banks are won- derful so people can have trans- fusions at once when they need them. I have heard that sur- geons can transplant the human eye and prevent blindness. I told our family physician that if I knew for certain that "willing my eyes" would keep someone from going blind, [{ belive I would be willing to do s0.--MRS. L.C. Yes, there are such things as eye banks. They aren't exactly like blood banks, bone banks or other such banks, but they do, indeed, prevent a great deal of blindness. Or, more correctly, they restore lost sight to people with a certain type of defect. If you visited an "eye bank" you would probably be dis- appointed, 'because there tsn't much to see. We can't store eyes in large quantities as we do blood and some other items. However, you most certainly would not be disappointed to see a patient who has'had sight restored because of an eye bank. PART OF EYE USED The eye is not "transplanted" in the sense of exchanging the entire organ. That is not yet possible. Rather, a portion of the cornea, or outer covering of the eyeball, the window, is used. Many a person has become blind because the cornea ei'her is cloudy, or because 'it has been burned or badly scarred, although leaving the parts of the eye behind it intact. It is possible to remove the old cornea and apply a new one. But the only source of a cornea is from another eye. Unlike cases requiring blood transfusions, these eye opera- tions need not be done on an ° emergency basis, immediately. They can be done next weck or next month, or even next year. The patient can wait--and often has to wait until another eye is available. Thus an "eye bank' really consists mainly of a list of peo- ple who need corneas, and a list of people who are willing that their eyes be used for this generous purpose. The more quickly a cornea can be used, the better. There- fore eyes that are given to the SELL AUTHOR'S HOME TREGARTHEN, England (CP) -- The little stone cottage in Cornwall where D. H.

The eyes don't stay in the "bank" more than a day or two. Sometimes it is a matter of only hours. But in this way people regain the precious gift of sight. Arrangements to leave eyes for this purpose must be made beforehand. An eye surgeon or the eye department of a hospi- tal will be glad to tell you how to fill out a simple form that is required.

Their purpose was to oppose an enemy land- ing at all exposed places on the sea coast of Kent and Sussex. TEACH CITIZENS Gunners were to be allocated to each battery. They were to be responsible. for teaching "such of the inhabitants as shall be inclinable to learn how to load, point and fire the guns placed there for their defence". During the latter part of the 18th century, however, respon- sibility for firing the guns was taken over by the Royal Artillery, and the master gun- ners were left with the respon- sibility of inspection and main- tenance of the guns and stores, The ceremony of handing over the Fort and surrounding land to the Newhaven local authori- ties was a colorful affair. It was held at the main gate of the old Fort. It was an occasion reminiscent of a day on the life of one of the army units sta- tioned there in bygone days. Two soldiers of the Royal Sus- sex Regiment, on 18th century period uniforms, were on pa- Tade to signify the link with the past, One of their duties was to close the main gate for the last time. The key was then handed over to the chairman of Newhaven Urban Council, Councillor Stanley W. Bennett, by Major Eugene Bennett, R.A., Commanding Officer of the battle area clearance unit, the last army unit to be stationed there. A detachment of 25-pounder guns from the 257th (Sussex Yeomanry) Regiment, Royal Ar- tillery Territorials, of Brighton fired the last rounds from the 200-year-old Fort. LONG ASSOCIATION The band of the 1st Battalion of the Royal Sussex Regiment and buglers from Shorncliff began the ceremony with the sounding of reveille and the hoisting of the Union Jack. A commentary was read of the long military association with Newhaven, dating back to 1756. This was followed by the sound- ing of the retreat, the lowering of the flag, and the closing of the Fort gates. A symbolic key in polished brass, inscribed as a memento of the occasion was presented to the local authority chairman. He was escorted to the main gate through a small guard of honor. The chairman and mem- bers of 'the Newhaven urban council then proceeded into the Fort to take it over. It is proposed that the old Fort area will be converted into a holiday centre, adjacent land into recreation space, and a portion of the site will be set aside for the building of housing accommodation.

Reporting for the month of November, Miss Jean Russell, senior public health nurse, stated that 1,517 children in the 48 public school classrooms were serving overseas with the famous RCAF Band. Frank J. Grindley was intro- duced as the newest member at --r of the Cshawa Rotary , Rev. Dr. W. L.

By DON O'HEARN TORONTO ---Hon. Robert Macaulay has been talking tur- key in turkey-land. The minister 'of economics and development has been. hold- ing large luncheon meetings in key U.S. cities in connection with his trade crusade. And he has been doing us proud. Mr. Macaulay has _ been carrying the message that the U.S. has to buy more from us, as well as that we have to buy more of our own goods at home. And he has been presenting ft in not only an able but also a statesmanlike way. When you tell anyone that you have to buy less from him, and that, in essence, he is no: doing his share of carrying a Joad, you can be heading for deep trouble. . But Mr. Macaulay has been doing this. And doing it in a way that should offend very few, if anyone. * BLUNT FACTS The minister's approach has been a blunt presentation of facts: that Canada's imbalance with the U.S. is about $1,500.- 000,000, and that we can't con- tinue to buy from it unless' this is very substantially reduced. And he does not duck touchy points, He proposes that more U.S. industrialists should enter into deals for more manufacture in Canada under licence. He notes that some U.S. com- panies prevent their Canadian branches from exporting to other markets -- keeping this business for the home plants. And he also notes that some companies won't permit their Canadian plants to buy Cana- dian parts, even though these are cheaper. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Dec, 18, 1962... The American Congress passed an amendment to the constitution abolishing slav- ery in the United States 106 years ago today--in 1856.

He puts all of these points, and others, across in a thought- ful and considerable way which does not either whine or bomb- ast and es: asks for co- operation. USES CONTROL . Most noteworthy is the fact that Mr. Macaulay must be ex- ercising considerable self - re- straint when he uses such a re- versed approach. For personally he feels quite _ strongly on some of these points, as do other Canadians. In his trade crusade efforts, he has had sufficient contact with our international eco- nomics by now to «now that U.S: control of Canadian com- panies can in some 'nstances ho autocratic, petty and wither. zg. And he can get as mad as anyone about this. But he has managed to keep his common sense and use a patient approach, . And it, with the force he is putting behind it, could show some tangible results.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING London Free Press: A situa- tion has developed in the Cana- dian dairy industry that to the consumer, the taxpayer and governments interested in de- veloping our export trade -- in this case cheese -- must be call- ed scandalous. While Ottawa worries over buying mountains of butter made from surplus milk, it is now revealed that many gallons of this milk could have been made into cheese and sold in Britain. Hector Arnold, chair- man of the Ontario Cheese Board, says the British demand was such that Canada could have sold twice as much ched- dar' cheese in the past year if it had been available. The federal government, through its aid program, has for some time paid varying amounts in subsidies to the dairy producers. The provincial government, through control of fluid milk prices, has encour- aged this: industry. Apparently thelr plans have been running at cross-purpozes, into surpluses and shortages. The milk industry has been warned that it must put its house in order or federal sub- sidies will be altered. Premier Robarts recently halted an in- crease in the fluid milk price, although it was made by the Milk Industry Board in accord- ance with its profit formula. Certainly the program sug- gested in Ontario where all milk could be directed where it is READERS' VIEWS PROTEST Dear Sir: It is good policy in order to help the Police one must tell the truth. With this in mind the statements which will fol- low are absolutely true, Wheth- er it will help the Police re- mains to be seen, however, the article to which I will refer certainly did not help us. The opportunity arises for persons who have such false knowledge as well as the gen- eral public to be told what kind of a salary the attend ants at the Ontario Hospital here actually receive. In the Thursday, Dec. 13, issue of the Oshawa Times, I refer to the article, "Arbitra- tion Board Increases Police Pay." The reference is to this particular paragraph: * "According to the award, the town also gave figures which indicated that the attendants at the Ontario Hospital here received salaries which are sub. stantially over those of the various grades of police." I repudiate this statement be- cause. it is positively untrue. Here are the true figures. might add: These are maxi- mum salaries: attendant, grade No. 1, $3,240; attendant, grade No. 2, $3,600; attendant, grade No. 3, $3,750; supervisors, $4,040 I would add, many of the supervisors along with quite a number on the attendant staff have 25 or more years of service. The figures quoted are not indicative of the actual take- home pay. PSI, hospitalization, income tax and' other per- qusites are taken out of the cheque before it is received. With these figures, can any comparison be made? In the same article, this statement is made: According to a' recent release from the Walmsley & Magill OFFICE EQUIP. LTD. 9 KING ST. E. OSHAWA 725-3506 Dominion Bureau of Statistics, the average yearly - wage in the Oshawa - Whitby dis- trict's manufacturing -- indus- tries amounts to $5,593.64. How many employees actual- ly receive this amount? Eg. Three men go out fishin.g The first man catches 10 fish, The second man catches five fish. The third man does not catch a fish. The total fish caught, 15. It is true the average per man is five fish but does the aver- 'age tell the true story? It is time that the govern- ments forgot about averages which are misleading and faced the true facts. Why do they not figure out and release the actual percentage of employees in this district that actually receive the quoted figure, also the percentage of those who do not and who are very, very much below the average figure. This statement also appeared in the same article. "Accord- ing to a budget submitted to the Board, a family of four residing in Whitby requires for the necessities of life, a salary of 4,971.60 per annum, What is our true plight? JOHN HARKNESS. President, Local Branch, Civil Service Association. (EDITOR'S NOTE: There was a misprint in the para- graph first quoted. by Mr. Harkness. The sentence in the award report should have read: ". . . The attendants at the Ontario Hospital here received salaries which are substantially lower than those of the various grades of police.") most needed seemed rational. Yet this plan failed to win sup- port of various groups of the Ontario milk industry and the provisional milk board was dis- solved. The solution may be difficult and possibly vote-losing, but the public should demand that gov- ernments get to work on the plan, even if it is drastic and may require government con- trols. If it is found that an overseas market is neglected because it is easier to sell to the govern- ment a crackdown is necessary; a complete overhaul of the sub- sidy plan, marketing structure and the whole organization of the industry would seem im. perative. Guelph Mercury: Ontario's government _-sponsored sales mission to the United States has proved that goods manu- factured in this province have a ready market across the border. The first group of Canadian businessmen designated to go to the U.S. to drum up business found that they were well re- ceived and received. orders for their products from some of the largest U.S. companies, The variety of goods they offered ranged from tools, dies, fencing, auto parts, chemical products, roller skates, in fact all the way to ladies' gloves. And Premier Robarts points out that beyond the present orders pick- ed up by the Canadian -busi- messmen, the prospects look good for future orders. The Canadian businessmen centred their salesmanship in the Chicago area, and the re- sults have certainly given en- couragement to other sales missions to other areas in the U.S. which are being planned for next year. With the first pilgrimage into the U.S. in search of markets for Ontario made products net- ting more than $1,000,000 in orders, we feel that the road has been established toward a growing trade between the two countries. In the past, it has been too much one-sided. Can- ada today has a $700,000,000 merchandise deficit, with the United States, and Ontario, by itself, is the second best custom- er the U.S, has. The success of this: trade mis- sion only goes to prove that if we want to sell our merchan- dise, we must promote these sales. We cannot expect other countries to come to us, to see what ~> have for sale. We must get ¢ id do the initial selling ours ., and then look for- ward to receiving repeat orders. As our merchants advertise daily to bring customers to their stores, so muat Ontario ad- vertise to tell those in other countries what we have to offer. WHY NOT?
