L, Wilson, Publisher ' MONDAY, JANUARY 14, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Municipalities Facing Bad Traffic Situation --The volume of roadbuilding has been relatively stable during the' past few years, and the Canadian "Good Roads Association thinks it is likely to continue so. The As- sociation, of course, has consis- tently advocated stable program- ming, geared to recognized and icted needs, in order to obtain treater efficiency and lower costs in road-building. '»Assocjation managing director ; W. Gilchrist, in a new year state- mt, notes that most provinces have now corrected highway de- ficiencies of the past, and main highways are generally capable of meeting current traffic needs. But the same condition does not prevail bn urban streets. While rural high- ways have been improving, the problems of transportation in large urban areas have been worsening, and many urban arteries are now axed by traffic beyond the point of economy and convenience. 'Oshawa citizens, with a brand hew traffic study report in their possession -- or at least in the possession of their municipal re- presentatives -- will be interested in Mr, Gilchrist's observation that "before municipal governments can formulate plans for modernization of highway transportation, studies of local road and street require- ments must be undertaken. These would be patterned after the 20- "year highway needs studies under- taken by provincial governments." Municipal governments in Canada did not spend as much in 1962 as they did in 1960, but more than in 1961 -- and the total bill still comes to a whopping $258 million, exclusive of the $106,890,000 they received in grants from provincial governments, It seems obvious that the municipalities cannot spend much more without crippling them- selves, and yet they are faced with a traffic situation that could also cripple them. We can agree with Mr. Gilchrist that "all interested elements, agencies and individuals, legislators, planners, administrators, engineers, should be brought together to draw up realistic programs of transpor- tation requirements for the com- munity." Agreement With Soviet re |: We agree with Soviet ambassador Amasasp Aroutunian that there is "po reason" why Canada and Russia should not reach agreement on co- operation in the peaceful use of atomic energy. Britain has such an wreement, and so does France. nada's whole concentration in the mic field has been on the peace- ful uses of nuclear energy. '2 Dr. Aroutunian told a press con- e in Ottawa this week, "I "that our countries can mutu- aly gain for their benefit in the Search for mutual understanding hd co-operation in the field of eaceful use of atomic energy." A second theme was Canadian-Soviet friendship and proposals to inctease dultural exchanges between Canada and Russia. *¢ In these areas there is no reason 'why Canada and Russia could not qp-operate more' closely. And the @reas could be extended. Russia dpads the world in research on the yroblems of living with snow and ice, for example, and we could benefit from closer exchange of in- formation about this subject. Some Americans might be start- led by a Russo-Canadian agreement involving nuclear power, but they would have no reason for apprehen- sion. Britain and France have their agreements, are members. of NATO, have their own nuclear weapons and may become the recipients of American weapons, all without giving. Washington the willies. Canada's interests has been directed solely to the peaceful atomic uses-- and Canadian scientists have made some notable contributions to peaceful atomic progress. An agreement of this sort would not affect Canadian foreign policy and would not imply any Canadian approval of Russian policy or action. But it could help, in a small way, to broaden the base of understand- ing between the West and a slowly changing Soviet Union. Plugging For A Park te ts The Owen Sound Sun-Times is 'eampaigning for the establishment 'of a large federal or provincial park ,on the Bruce Peninsula, and is run- yning into narrow-minded criticism of some local interests who claim that the park would mean an econ- fomic loss to.the area. The Sun- 'fimes, however, has presented "strong evidence to show that the ,gtitics are wrong. +! A-study conducted by Charles De- 'Turk, California State Director of 'Parks, clearly indicates that the 'pconomic benefit of a park far ex- beeds the tax revenue for land other- ; Wise used. t: In California, every person visit- ting a state park spends $2.08 per i@ay outside the park, if camping "gnd $11.00 per day if visiting but , hot camping.

Parks represent an investment of public money, but unlike some public investments, there is a cash return for the area. The land ad- jacent to a large Provincial park increases in value, DeTurk found, to as much as five times the value it had before the park was estab- lished. The value of a park can out- weigh the value of subdivisions, which may create a tax burden, having demands in excess of the revenue their property provides. Quite apart from these economic aspects, the plea of General Omar Bradley in a 1959 address to the American people carires a message for Canadians also, the Sun-Times suggests: "Each of us has need to escape occasionally from the noisy world which surrounds us and find re- freshment in the grandeur of na- ture. Yet, year after year, our scenic treasures are being plund- ered by what we call an advancing civilization. If we are not careful, we shall leave our.children a legacy of billion dollar roads leading no- where except to other congested places like those they left behind."

Provincial governments are REPORT FROM U.K. More Underground _ Car Parks Sought By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The success of the large underground car park which is now operating under Hyde Park has sparked the pro- motion of other projects of a similar nature for other London open spaces, One proposal is that an underground car park be constructed under the Horse Guards' Parade, where the Queen presides over the Troop- ing of the Color ceremony each year on her official birthday. Another scheme calls for a sim. ilar underground convenience under Regents Park. Both of these are in the stage of seek- ing planning permission, and if this can be secured, they are likely to go ahead. Still another underground car park project, and one which has already aroused a considerable amount of controversy, calls for YOUR HEALTH Suffers Convulsion Early In Morning By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: Twelve years ago I had a "nervous breakdown" and was in a men- tal hospital. I was released after five months and have been well ever since except that I suffer a convulsion, at least one a month, although there is no sign of epilepsy in my family back- ground, One doctor said that a portion of my brain has been damaged; that when it becomes tired I have a convulsion; then it re- laxes again. He prescribed phenobarbital, but I still have the convulsions, always early in the morning when in bed. Recently I went to a different type of: practitioner who said my problem is the result of a nerve impinged by two dis- placed bones at the base of my skull. He told me to stop the phenobarbital. I did and had a very bad convulsion. He says to keep getting ad- justments or treatments, but I still have a convulsion every month, Can you help me?--J.P. An interesting letter--also an example that the epileptic type of seizure doesn't have to be hereditary. Whether anything connected with the nervous breakdown played any part in the trouble, I will not attempt to say. Eowever, parts of the letter which I omitted for brev- ity conform to the classic pic- ture of epilepsy. One thing puzzles me: Why follow the practitioner's advice when he seems to have had less success than the doctor? He happens to belong to a group which is not permitted by law to prescribe medicine; hence it's not hard to see why he stopped the phenobarbital and urged his medicine-less meth- ods, It seems to me, however, that the best answer is to have a specialist (internist or a neurol- ogist) make a more thorough study of your case. The always-in-morning pat- tern suggests the possibility of periods of Jow blood sugar hav- ing an effect. This is something concrete that can be investi- gated, and if it happens to be present, treatment can be taken for it. / Another important step might well be to investigate whether a combination of anti-convulsant drugs may be used either along with or instead of the phenobar- bital. Some such drugs have been developed in recent years, and have eliminated convulsions entirely in a great many cases, Dear Dr. Molner: I had my first smallpox vaccination 11 years ago, when I was 20, and five weeks later broke out with cowpox for two miserable weeks. I assume that I am immune to smallpox the rest c* my life eng another vaccination will never be required. Is this true? Because of that other experi- ence, I rather fear getting polio shots.--L.M.N. Are you sure it was cowpox, back then? That question aside, no, you cannot assume that you are.im- mune for the rest of your life. That's why the United States in- sists that anyone entering this country show proof of having had a_ smallpox vaccination within the last three years. (Actually, immunity doubtless remains in at least fair strength longer than three years: but that interval gives a good margin of safety.) I doubt if you need expect any more trouble from future small- pox vaccinations, but you should have booster shots. And there is no reason whatever to antici- pate any trouble from a polio vaccination. Go have one and see! Note to Mrs. B.M.: I've never heard of tea from pecan tree bark gs treatment for varicose veins--but I can see no possible reason for it to help any more than it would for a broken leg or whatever. With varicose veins, the tissues (of the veins) already have been damaged No medication can restore them to their former state. the building of such a facility beneath Cadogan Palace Gar- dens, in Chelsea. But if the plan for this is approved and con- struction goes ahead, dozens of lovely trees, from 30 to 100 years old, will have to be up- rooted and removed. For a year, while the car park is being built, the gardens would become a barren wasteland. BEFORE COUNCIL This project is now receiving the consideration of the Chelsea Council, which has received a report on it from the London County Council. The report states that London County Coun- cil has received an outline ap- plication for the construction of a car park and garage beneath the Cadogan Palace Gardens, which run along Sloane street just above Sloane Square. In this project, car parking would be on two levels, the upper to accommodate 225 cars and the lower 257, There would be a_ service station below ground level, and a one-way underground system inside the garage. The LCC report to the Chelsea council says: "We are informed that the ga- rage space is not intended for use by commuting motorists, and that in the allocation of space, priority will be given to local residents," The LCC recommended that the Chelsea council should ac- cept the proposal in principle. But strong protests are being made by the residents of Sloane street and other roads near the Gardens, all centred on the fact that so many lovely trees will have to be destroyed. YEARS TO GROW The report makes it clear that dozens of fully-grown trees, 30 to 50 feet in height, would have to come down to make possible the construction of this under- ground car park and garage. At the end of a year, when the work was completed, some of them would be replaced by new mature trees, the report says. Bui incst of the new plant- ing to be done would be of young nursery stock. This, the objectors claim, would destroy the character of this lovely gar- den for some 20 to 30 years after planting. To lessen the impact of this, the town planning committee has already called for a pro. posed new layout for the gar- dens, It provides for hillocks and a new lake, and would make the gardens even more interesting than at present, says the committee. BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Leo G. Karnath was named chairman of the Separate School Board at its 1948 inaugural meeting, succeeding the retir- ing W. R. Heffer after 21 years service, Oshawa's 188 city council took office with the following aldermen as chairmen: R. D. Humphreys, finance; Michael Starr, board of works; Clifford Harman, city property and fire protection; W. J. Lock, gener- al purpose and Rae Halliday, committee of the whole. Ex. Comp. C. H. Osbourn was installed as First Princi- pal of Pentalpha Chapter, Royal Arch Masons. Officiating was Rt. Ex. Comp. C. C. Stenhouse and Ex. Comp. H. A. Suddard, C. Pirie and D. Ross. Judge J. C. Anderson was the guest speaker at the Oshawa Rotary Club's annual Civic Day luncheon. Members and offi- cials of Oshawa and East Whit- by Councils and boards were guests of the club. The Oshawa Civic and Regi- mental Band opened a series of "Pop" concerts in the OCVI auditorium, Mrs. B, C. Colpus, member of the local Board of Education for the past 17 years, and the only woman ever to have been elect- ed to that office, was chosen 1948 chairman of the board. Communicable diseases re- ported in the city dropped last year to 45i from 1145 in 1946. John Burch was installed as president of Oshawa Branch 43, Canadian Legion for the ensu- ing year. Dr. H.

Four of the 10 provinces held elections in late November and early De- cember -- Quebec, Newfound- land, Prince Edward Island and Manitoba. None of their admin- istrations had completed -- the fourth year of the previous term. In June the Conservative gov- ernment of Ontario and the So- cial Credit administration in Alberta will enter the final year of their current terms of office. Premier John Robarts of Ont-. ario and Premier E.C. Manning of Aberta are believed to be preparing for election battles this summer. The four other provinces that rate as election bets are all go- ing into their fourth year some- time in 1963. If the economic picture is bright their premiers are expected to bid for new terms. The situation by provinces: Newfoundland--Premier Joey Smallwood says he expects to hold a series of important dis- cussions before the opening. of the legislature in late February or early March. His Liberal government, in power since the province joined Canada in 1949, was re-elected in November.

Britain and Spain formed an alliance against France 154 years ago today--in 1809 --after Napoleon forced the Spanish king to abdicate and placed his brother Jos- ph Boriaparte on the throne, The war with Spain in which the national spirit of the Spaniards was aided by English arms, occupied many French troops and two major defeats at Bay- len and Cintra sapped their morale.

This committee stemmed from discussions during the visit of the Japanese Prime Minister, Mr. Ikeda, to Ottawa last summer. Its purpose is to permit the periodical exchange of views at the Cabinet 'evel on matters of common interest. Such matters include trade, and problems which might be caused by that trade; and may even extend to such fields as migration, for overcrowded Ja- pan could well seek an outlet for emigrants in our empty acres, But 0 fcourse the chief area for the exchange of views be- tween the two countries is the economic field. We want grow- ing outlets for our raw mate- rials; Japan wants ever - ex- panding markets for her man- ufactured products; we want capital to finance the develop- ment of our resources; Japan wants credit to assist her pur- chases of raw materials to feed her factories; and Japan also needs more quantities of more varieties of food to feed her population. BLACK AND WHITE Just as we have for long been a fairy godmother to United States exporters, buying from them goods enormously in ex- cess of the value of what their country will buy from us, so have we expected other coun- tries to be similar fairy god- mothers to us. We have cast Britain and Japan especially in that role. And this is a crime. We sell to Britain far more than we buy from her, and our present customs procedures are designed to keep British exports to Canada as low as possible. Hence our repute in Britain to- day simply stinks, to express it frankly. We are treating Japan as badly. In 1961, for example, we sold to Japan goods worth almost exactly twice as much as the goods we bought from Japan. * But trade must be a two-way street; the country which wishes to sell must be willing to buy on a comparable scale. Despite our huge favorable bal- ance in our trade with Japan, we have been insisting that that country should impose volun- tary quotas on its exports to us. Yet without so much as a peep we permit the U.S. to ex- port to us thirty times as much as Japan does, and we willingly 728-9581 BROADLOOM, DRAPES, TILE, PAINT AND WALLPAPER shoulder a deficit in our trade with the U.S. which itself is six times the value of our total pur- chases from Japan. spans conn gu ere can that we hear all the dae tee . Japan hopes to sell more to Canada; she has a good case. It is perhaps unfortunate that this goodwill delegation had to be led by Donald Fleming, who typifies to Japan's traders the flinty-faced curbing of sales. In Ottawa's secret conclaves, there are two approaches to trade with Japan. These are called "'the finance view" and "the trade and commerce view." The former is the Flem- ing formula, dating from the years when he was minister of 'inance. It aims to enforce "voluntary" quotas on Japan- ese exports to Canada; it is in- flexible, it is not understanding, it is unhelpful. The other is the view of Trade Minister George Hees. This is sensible and constructive, and deserves to be known by and studied by our Japanese friends. In brief, the George Hees position is that we do not want Japan to flood the Cana- dian market; that will damage our manufacturers; it might, and indeed it has, crippled whole industries or whole com- munities in Canada. But we would welcome Japanese study of our imports from other coun- tries. If the Japanese manufac- turers can produce goods of comparable quality and design, and at a competitive price, we would be very happy 'o see them battle the manufacturers of other nations for a share of our market. And good luck to them. Its too bad trader Hees did not go to Japan with that mission. 9.30 P.M. i's HONEST CAL KING ST. E. ot VARCOR'S RD. PHONE 728-9191 Oshewe's Biggest Discounters
