She Oshawa Gunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher GATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1962 -- PAGE 6 'Ideological Content' Drained From Parties ; The next generai election may or may not bring to an end the political vacuum that has existed in Canada since last June's election, in which the voters appeared to vote not so much for any party or platform as against the glib promises and cheap hoopla that have become almost traditional in political campaigns. Some well-qualified political obser- vers think that the vacuum will continue for many years; certainly, the performance of the parties in the current Parliament does not in- dicate any awareness of the wide- spread public disenchantment that now undoubtedly exists. British observers are writing and talking about the same sort of vacuum in their country. Jo Grim- ond, the Liberal leader, has this to say in the Sunday Times: "Many electors look askance at party politics or are elastic in their party allegiance. Can you wonder at this? The paradox of parties de- manding ever stiffer discipline yet less and less able to give effective expression to public opinion is too obvious." He thinks that the "ideological content" has been drained out of the parties. "The Conservatives are in theory opposed to nationaliza- tion .. . But not only have they not denationalized anything since 1955; they have taken no step to alter the way in which these industries are managed or the way in which Par- liament attempts te control them. Equally, the bulk of the Labor party no longer feels that profits are always immoral, or that to take some share in the spoils of the capitalist system is wrong. In some cases, very much the reverse, Often the parties seem to be defending in- herited attitudes which are no longer relevant and in which they no longer believe, Their members seem to have no rules of conduct rooted in conviction." He could be writing about the situation at Ottawa. And his con- clusion has just as much validity here as in Britain' "To be accused of dishonesty and personal ambition is the occupa- tional risk of politicians. I am against having them made into heroes. But we cannot be com- placent when the distrust seeps into politics itself. We have seen what has happened in France partly because parliamentary politics there became what the philosophers call an 'epiphenomenon,' something, to put it crudely, which looked impor- tant but wasn't really in gear either with any principle or with any ma- chinery for answering the problems which people wanted answered. It could happen here unless we have a clearer restatement of what the parties stand for, what they want to achieve, and a reform of the structure. of machinery of our society to bring it up to date." Best Aim For New Year By THE.REV. J. JACENTY Ukrainian Presbyterian Church We are just about to enter the new year, 1968, The experience of the years behind us should serve us for our instruction. We should learn what to avoid and what to choose for our personal benefit. We should aim for the best in life. To do that we must look and find what the three Wise Men from the Orient found, that is, Jesus Emmanuel, born in the little town of Bethlehem. 'This Jesus at the age of thirty gave a new program to the weary and sinful world. Here in essence is Jesus' ideology: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and re- covering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord," Luke 4:18-19. This ideology was expanded in his Sermon on the Mount. Study it, digest it, and assimilate all these eternal ideas and you shall never, never regret your New Year's de- cision. Many great men became great because of Jesus. And you too \ ean become great by accepting Jesus, your personal Counsellor, Lord and Savior. Doing this, you become a minister (servant) of God and Man. Read what the great scholar and historian, Philip Schaff, says of Jesus: "Jesus of Nazareth, without money and arms, conquered more millions than Alexander, Caesar, Mohammed and Napoleon; without science and learning, He shed more light on things human and divine than all the philosophers and scholars combined; without the elo- quence of schools, He spoke words of life such as were never spoken before or since, and produced effects which lie byond the reach of orator or poet; without writing a single line, he has set more pens in motion, and furnished themes for more sermons, orations, discussions, learned volumes, works of art and sweet songs of praise than the whole army of great men of ancient and modern times. Born in a man- ger, and crucified as a malefactor, He now controls the destinies of the civilized world, and rules a Spiritual Empire which embraces. one third of the inhabitants of the globe." "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ." Book of Revela- tion 11:15. Canadian Substitute Many are the factors that affect a cost-of-living index, and some are beyond the control of government in spite of the clamor raised by politicians in opposition. A good example is seen in the report that the price of citrus fruits may go up by as much as 25 per cent after the New Year, the Sudbury Star points out. She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

Frost in Florida re- sulted in serious damage to the ripening fruit. While it is reported that much can be salvaged for making juices the frost-damaged fruit cannot be shipped and sold in its "natural" state. The picture is not all black; there are many citrus fruit areas outside of the state of Florida. In fact, the Star thinks, 't may not be a bad thing for Canada if there is a short supply. When he was federal minister of agriculture Jimmy Gardiner was a stout ad- vocate of apple juice as a substitute for citrus fruit juice. It was Mr. Gardiner's contention that Cana- dians could bolster their own ailing apple- growing industry if they drank apple juice instead of orange or grapefruit juice. This was at a time when the Liberal government was trying to assist apple-growers by having them cut down apple trees as a means of lessening the surpluses and maintaining prices. So, says the Star, if we can't have imported oranges at a reasonable price, let's eat Canadian apples! And drink Canadian apple juice! 'GOOD HE Hoey i SAN AVENS -- RUM!" WHAT OTHER ARE SAYING Canada Cannot Postpone Nuclear Arms Decision Kitchener Record: Procrasti- nation in the decision to adopt nuclear arms for Canadian forces has about reached its limit, The hour of decision is at hand and there is little doubt what the answer will be despite opposition parades and rallies opposed to the very thought; Decision to equip Britain with a Polaris weapons system and the move towards a_ separate nuclear force for NATO means that Canada must make up its mind very soon now. Prime Minister Diefenbaker said as much at the weekend, It wasn't the first time he has said so, but this utterance bore the stamp of authenticity. The issue isn't very compli- cated either, despite the waff- ling that has been exhibited by all Canadian political leaders. We-can either permit the use of nuclear warheads by Cana- dian servicemen or we can get out of NATO. Obviously there is no future for us in splendid isolation and no guarantee that our neutrality would be recognized in the event of hostilities. In effect our servicemen have nuclear weapons right now. The Canadian brigade in Germany is equipped with armament that can only be used with a nuclear warhead. It is easy to believe that the explosive part of the tactical weapon is not many minutes removed from the de- livery system. Beyond that the support weapons at the larger forma- tion behind our troops are armed with nuclear warheads, In other words we have them whether we want them or not. That makes the choice rela- tivel ysimple. We can finally admit to the world that we are going to use nuclear warheads or We can call home the regi- * ments from the frontier of the western empire and sulk in splendid solitude. Chatham News: 'Nobody won" is the inevitable answer in most cases to the question asked as to the results of a long and bitterly contested strike. Recently, however, something new has emerged from the la- bor-management situation in the United States--something which is promising for a more intelli- gent and consequently a better future, For three years nine men have been meeting as _ repre- sentatives of the Kaiser Steel Corporation, the United Steel- workers of America, and the American public. They were not engaged in strike negotiations, though a long and costly steel strike had given rise to their committee. Rather were they engaged in explorations -- explorations to TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Dee. 29, 1962 ... William Lyon Mackenize King took over from Arthur Meighen as prime minister of Canada 41 years ago to- day--in 1921. As leader of the Liberal party for more than a quarter-century and prime minister for 21 years, five months and five days,: he gained world stature.

McDonald, president of the union, it contemplates taking an exact measure of savings in costs which may result from inauguration of technological improvements in steel produc- tion, Labor will share in these savings to the extent of approx- imately one third. Displaced workers will be retrained. The company will profit by in- creased efficiency. And the gov- ernment will gain in taxes from the steadier operation.

Welland Tribune: A sugges- tion worthy of serious consider- ation has come from Donald C, MacDonald, New Democratic Leader in Ontario, It is his pro- posal that former speaker in the federal house Roland Michener be named permanent speaker of the Ontario Legislature. Mr, MacDonald plans to intro- duce a bill calling for a perma- nent speaker who would repre- sent a new constituency of Queen's Park. The riding would consist only of the Legislature and the MPP's would elect the Speaker, eliminating the argu- ment that a permanent speaker would rob constituents of their voice in the House. In proposing Mr. Michener, Mr, MacDonald points to his previous experience in the leg- islature and the fact that he served a term as speaker at Ottawa. Th NDP leader probably also had in mind that in his desire to be meticulously fair during his term in the Speaker's chair at Ottawa, Mr. Michener dis- ciplined members of the Pro- gressive Conservative party as much, if not more, than any others. Nevertheless the suggestion from the NDP provincial leader is an interesting one and has enough merit to warrant care- ful study. Mr. Michener, a Toronto law- yer, was elected to the Ontario Legislature in 1945 and was pro- vincial secretary under former Premier Leslie Frost. He was elected to the Commons in 1953 and was Speaker from 1957 until his defeat in the last federal election, His loss to the Com- mons was regretted by mem- bers of all parties. Cleveland Plain Dealer: Wil- liam 0. Douglas Jr., actor-son of the associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, was picked up and jailed by Hollywood police on no charge, except that of takingva walk. It points up the status of the pedestrian today -- he's re- garded as some kind of a nut. Naturally, there are extenu- ating circumstances of more or less minor degree. Douglas was walking late at night. In Holly- wood, the courts have said that policemen have a right to chal- lenge anybody found strolling around after dark, even though they may be innocent of ,any evil doing, real or suspected. When the policemen asked Douglas, who was en route to a nearby all-night market, for identification, he refused on the ground he was protecting his civil rights by declining. So, he was tossed in jail, where he withstood other attempts at identification until finally re- leased the next morning. Douglas didn't think he should reveal his identity just to satis- fy curiosity. After the incident, Douglas. said he heard the police really were looking for some culprit but apparently didn't tell Douglas about it at the time, But the event points up to- day's feeling, that the person on foot is up to no good or else is an eccentric, probably a dan- gerous one. In this day of auto- mation and rapidly growing suburbs without sidewalks, the man behind the wheel goes un- challenged but the hoofer is somebody to watch, Douglas wasn't alone in his jai. cell from midnight until 8 a.m. Many of us, who still go walking, shared his plight vi- cariously and applauded his stand, Attaboy, Bill. They caa't do that to us. GALLUP POLL Drinkers vs. Abstainers Remain At Same Levels THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Chances are that on New Year's Eve, almost seven in ten Canadian adults will be en- joying an alcoholic beverage of some kind; three in ten will not. Latest report on the use of liquor in Canada shows no change from that of two years ago. Actually in twenty years,. proportion of those who, on occasion, or regularly, enjoy liquor, beer or wine has chang- ed for only' one in ten. One more adult in ten uses alcohol; one in ten, less than in 1943, never does. From time to time Gallup Poll interviewers repeat a study designed to measure the propor. . tion of people who do drink alcoholic beverages. -- at least on occasion, The question: "Do you ever have occasion to use alcoholic beverages such as liquor, wine, or beer, or are you a total abstainer?" Comparisons below show a increase in "drinkers" since 1943 -- but a constant situation within the past two years.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The British peo- ple look back on the year 1962, as it draws to a close, with mix- ed feelings, It has been a year of successes and failures, of re- cession and recovery, with the aradoxical situation that as e nation's economic position has improved, the unemploy- ment situation has grown worse, with the highest number unemployed since 1957. When the year opened, the country was still laboring under the economic restrictions im- ed by Selwyn Lloyd in July, 960, when he was Chancellor of the Exchequer. These mea- sures, designed to build up the strength of cscigen 4 and the country's balance of payments, had not then begun to show their effects. At the same time, there was strong resentment against the wage pause which was the key point in Mr, Lloyd's policies, and insistent demands that it be lifted, This was par- tially done when the wage pause policy became one of wage re- straint, DIFFERENT PICTURE There is a different picture in the British scene today. Prac- tically all of Mr. Lloyd's re- strictions have been removed by $ is a ' Reginald Maulding, with only some surcharges on purchase tax remaining, That there ever was a "-- pause has been for- gotten. The bank rate has come down from scven per cent to four and a half per cent. The special bank deposits required by the treasury have all been released. And at the same time the British reserves of gold and dollars have shown a steady if not substantial increase. Ex- ports have also increased, and the trade gap between exports and imports has been narrowed. All of this has indicated that the restrictive measures, neces- sary at the time they were im- posed, have been effective in doing exactly the things that the government wanted them to do. MORE UNEMPLOYED On the other hand, these same restrictive measures, directed towards curbing the spending of the people, and freeing more goods for export, had a bad effect on employment. Because of the lessening of home de- mand, production of consumer goods declined, and more and more people found themselves out of work, The November figure of 544,000 unemployed, represent- ing 2.4 per cent of the work- im force, was the highest since 1957, and it was expected to go BY-GONE DAYS 4 YEARS AGO A. T, Hicks was named presi- dent of the Oshawa Rotary Club to succeed F. J. Bailes. J. L. Whattam, J. C, Young and W. A. Luke were also elected of- ficers for 1923. Mayor John Stacey was seek- ing re-election for the fifth term and Councillor W. J. Trick an-' nounced that he would contest the mayoralty for 1923. Sir. Henry Thornton, newly- appointed head of the Canadian National Railway, announced that a partially electrified line from Toronto to Cobourg was planned. Frank Hastings, Percy Goyne, Michael Jones, T. Roughley, Ray Hobbs and Alfred Baldwell were in charge of the 25th annual Oshawa Firemen's Sal. Reeve Eli Ellins and Deputy Reeve J. A. Nesbitt declared themselves as candidates for the reeveship of East Whitby Township at the municipal elec- tions on January 1. Cedardale public school stood 14th in the province in tne penny bank savings for the months of Cctober and Novem- ber with an average monthly deposit of 50 cents per pupil. W. H. Ross was_ installed Worshipful Master of Cedar Lodge AF and AM 270, GRC. Cecil Bint, South Oshawa candidate, represented the town at the Provincial Boys' Parlia- ment in Toronto. J. G. Althouse, principal of the Oshawa High School, gave an interesting. address at the Lions Club meeting on secondary education and the great need of it in Oshawa. Steps were being taken to re- tim, ir the old coal sheds at the lake front as a_ preliminary move in the new harbor development, according to L. 0. Clifford MP. Oshawa Rotary Club was well represented with 42 rotarians when 500 representatives from Ontario attended a banquet in Toronto in honor of Ray Havens, international president. Oshawa had the honor of having the oldest member present, Col. J. E. Farewell. C. P. Davis, grand chancellor of the Grand Lodge of Ontario, Knights of Pythias, paid an of- ficial visit to the Oshawa Lodge. WHY NOT?

In other words, more new workers, including school leav- ers and immigrants have been added to the working force than the increase in the number of unemployed. POLITICAL SCENE The year has seen a drastic change in the political scene in Britain. The austerity measures imposed by the government lost it a large volume of popular support, and to a somewhat similar degree, the Liberal party became the alternative for the majority of those who defected from the Tories. This became dramatically apparent in the Orpington by-election in March, when a Liberal was elected by a majority of over 7000 in a seat formerly held by the Conservatives by a similar margin, By - elections went badly against the government, even to the end of the year, and the Liberals made what must be considered spectacular gains. In the latter months of the year, this change was largely due to the government's determination to join the European Common Market, and the belief of many people that it was prepared to -- the Commonwealth to 0 80, COMMON MARKET VIEWS One of the marked changes in public opinion during the year has been in the public attitude towards entering the ECM, At the beginning of the year, as serious negotiations were get- ting under way, public opinion polls showed a substantial ma- jority in favor of joining the Common Market. But as the negotiations continued, and the public began to understand the implications of this step, opin- ion turned against it, until to- day the public opinion polls majorities against joining the Common Market. The stand of the Common- wealth prime ministers, and rticularly that of Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker of Canada, had much to do with solidifying public opinion against the ECM, and in favor of closer Common- wealth ties, As the year ends, that situa: tion has not been clarified, In the negotiations so far, the six Common Market oth the British req y govern- ment to keep its pledges to the Commonwealth countries and its EFTA partners, The: Six have conceded practically no- , and there is a wing feeling in Britain that the gov- ernment may have to give w its ideas for joining the ECM | and withdraw from the negotia- tions. | LOOKING AHEAD Looking ahead to 1963, there is no clear road in sight, be- cause so much of the country's economy is bound up in the ne- gotiations with the ' On the home front, however, there are jag | hopes that measures taken by the govern- ment to encourage greater in- vestment in new industrial plant and equipment, to increase ductivity, and to direct indus- tries which are expanding into the black spots of high unem- ployment, may take effect be- fore the new year is too far advanced, Whether or not Brit- ain enters the Common Market, greater adjustments will be ne- cessary to attain this goal. One of the great needs in order to maintain greater pro- ductivity is a much closer re- lationship between management and labor, a more lective means of communication be- tween the workers and their employers, so that the great economic loss occasioned, by the millions of days of man- labor lost through strikes, offi- cial and unofficial, can be avoid- ed. Measures towards this end are well under way, but much give and take on both sides is lg to make them effec- ve, Through all this year of diffi- culty, however, the British peo- ple have never lost their optim- ism, their determination to bring about a full economic re- covery, in order that the pros- perity of the past two or three years may be fully restored and maintained. Britain still has that quality of rising to meet great 'challenges, and I am confident that they will be able to meet the challenges that lie ahead, and still remain a powerful force for freedom and the ae of mankind in the world, YOUR HEALTH Acids Are Rarely Cause Of Trouble a By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Why don't you write about acids in the system? You have only touched lightly on the subject. I can't eat any fruit or Juices, vegetables such as to- matoes, or spaghetti, My symptoms are a bad taste and burning in the mouth, so se- vere that at times it appears scalded, itching of the inside of the ear and eyes and red blotches on my skin. My stom- ach feels good and I love all kinds of food. ' am not over- weight. But what I'd give for a nice juicy McIntosh right now with no after effects!-- The reason I place such scant emphasis on "acids in the system" is that they rarely are the real trouble. It is true that, in some cases, there may be too much acid. This usually occurs only in rather serious conditions--and when it does, the patient doesn't recognize it. When it comse to food, the trouble far oftener is too little acid in the digestive system instead of too much, and some patients, particularly older ones, have to be given care- fully measured amounts of acid, Without it, their digestion is impaired. With most of the so-called acid foods, citrus fruits, toma- toes and so on, the mild acid- ity is changed chemically by the digestive process, and what . left is alkaline, not acid at all. There used to be quite a bit of loose talk about '"'acidity" years ago, and a lot of us ab- sorbed the idea that anything with an acidulous taste would give us "acid stomach." This proves to be physiological non- sense, but we all have a hard shedding the notions im- planted in our heads when we were young. (Sometimes I oe what presumed "wis- liom" we are inn im- planting in our chilites vein that will have to be unlearned by them as knowledge ad- vances.) Anyway, a lot of people who complain about "acid foods" ry © have merely convinced them- selves that by avoiding these foods they do themselves some good. They don't. Others (like yourself) have some real symptoms. But, and this is the big point, I would be highly skeptical that the acidity caused the trouble. The sore mouth, the itching, the blotches all have the ear- marks of an entirely different, and very common, trouble: Allergy. Each person has his own allergies (if any). No two are precisely alike. One man's meat is another's allergen. Such bland items as_ milk, wheat, and even strained baby yg have bothered some peo- ple. If I had your trouble, I would go to my doctor. If he decides it is a food allergy, then he can guide you through the painstaking but exceed- ingly useful process of starting with a low allergy diet, then adding other foods, one at a time, until you find out pre- cisely what you can and what you can't eat. The result can be surprising -- for instance, some people can eat oranges but are sensitive to lemons.
