PRT eh ihe ue aoa: I OO eS poy ad pl og al (Sea iad ini Al si baa ie etn tai dam al ot She Oshawa Tunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Council Power Diluted By Independent Boards There seemed to be some feeling at this week's meeting of Oshawa eity council that council should ngt "meddle" in an area considered the business of the board of education. It is true that a board of educa- tion is an elected body responsible directly to the voters. But it is also a spending body -- and it is not responsible for raising the money that it spends. The municipal council has the thankless task of setting and collecting taxes. The board-council relationship is a curious rejection of the principle that the agency which raises money should also control the spending of it. Over the past few years there has been an increasing effort by municipal councils to end the ano- maly; those which do not want an outright subjection of the education boards want at the very least much stronger control of board spending. There is a considerable body of authoritative opinion to support the councils. The Kingston Whig-Stan- dard, for example, carried the fol- lowing report and comment on an investigation by Professor Stewart Fyfe, of the department of local government at Queen's University in Kingston: "Professor Fyfe and some of his colleagues have been studying muni- cipal government in Europe and have very clearly been impressed by much of what they found in cities with a very ancient tradition. "Professor Fyfe believes that the dilution of the power of local coun- cils. which comes about through the existence of boards such as the PUC and the local school board should end. He also believes that the same should apply. to local planning boards. . . In Europe, the function of a board of education is perform- ed by a committee of council and the same is true of planning: 'It. is best to have one final authority giving definite answers," according to Professor Fyfe. "There is a decided tendency on the part of some councils to shirk some of their functions by holding unnecessary plebiscites; but it might also be argued that important areas of local government are now in the hands of bodies having only a remote connection with the local council." Old Men Sign Treaty Two old men okayed a treaty in Paris this week, in an attempt to weave present reality into a dream of past glory. President Charles de Gaulle of France wanted a French-German treaty as an instru- ment in his "Operation Napoleon" -- his drive to establish by politics the French-dominated Europe that Na- poleon tried to establish by con- quest, Chancellor Adenauer of West -Germany saw the treaty as a means of restoring Germany to the place of European dominance sought by several of his predecessors -- the most recent being Hitler -- but again by politics instead of war. But while de Gaulle has more individual power than any French- man since Napoleon, Adenauer is playing out his string. He is no longer Der Alte; he is only a few months away from the retirement being forced on him by both his political colleagues and his op- ponents and his ideas about a Bonn- Paris axis are not shared by those who will make the decisions when he retires and who, in fact, are etrong enough to have forced Ade- nauer to modify those ideas. Asa result, the pact approved this week by de Gaulle and Adenauer may not be a particularly. signifi- cant one, despite the high-sounding words used by its designers. It can only be significant if Adenauer's successors undergo a radical change of opinion. The political co-operation . en- visaged in the treaty aims at con- stant consultation and co-ordination of policy, but both French and West German officials pointed out that complete identity of foreign policy is not aimed at. Any common deci- sions on foreign policy must be communicated to the other members of the Common Market. There are to be frequent meetings between the heads of government, chief of staff, and ministers. It does not mark any historic change of attitude. The French and the West Germans had already marked that change by signing the Treaty of Rome, which set out the conditions for the establishment of the Common Market. Under present conditions, it can- not be expected to out-live the poli- tical lives of the two old men who framed it. But if it does, in fact, develop into a tight working agree- ment, it will doom the Common Market. Money From A Nuisance Eighty-two years ago two men living in Cedar Grove, not far from Markham, obtained 10 carp from the Smithsonian Institution, Wash- ington, D.C. That was the first recorded introduction of carp into Ontario. The men proposed to raise the carp in ponds, as is still the custom in Europe, but it proved un- profitable and was abandoned by 1900. Lindsay District Forester A. E. Walroth continues the story: "Breeding stocks were either re- leased directly into streams or escaped as the result of deteriora- tion of ponds. By 1918, carp were well established in the Great Lakes and in many inland waters of South- ern Ontario. Since 1930, the carp She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

And that final sentence is probably the understatement of the year. There is no doubt that carp have caused a substantial deterioration of the game fishing in many areas, but just how much that represents in dollar values cannot be deter- mined. In the meantime, commercial fishermen have been reaping sume benefits. Carp and carp roe con- tributed 692,000 pounds valued at $49,000 to Ontario's commercial catch of 41,129,000 pounds worth $3,538,000 in the first nine months of 1962. What local anglers probably do not realize is that the heaviest land- ings of carp in 1962 were in On- tario's "southern inland waters", with the Kawarthas and the Trent river providing substantial amounts. The netting of carp in the Ka- wartha lakes and the Trent is strictly controlled to protect game fish. The intended purpose, in the department's words, is "'to utilize a previously unharvested resource." The netting has been carried on each winter for three years, and it is interesting to note that the total poundage taken has fallen by more than 40 per cent each year. The price per pound has risen from five to 12 cents, however, so that the total value of the catch has declined only slightly. a eal ee ae cae ak oe tae G4 v "A GALLIC DREAM - Ambitious Plan Keyed REPORT FROM U.K. Deep Snow Makes Money For Scots By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times AVIEMORE, Scotland -- For weeks Britain has been snowed under and frozen by the worst visitation of winter weather the country has known for 82 years. Deep snow drifts blacked roads all over the country. Helicopters have been needed to take food and other supplies to isolated villages and farms. They have been dropping. bales of hay on the moors to save' horses, cattle and sheep from starva- tion. I have had my own bitter ex- periences of it in the form of burst water pipes which flooded my home with the temperature well below freezing, and we are still burning coal fires and elec- YOUR HEALTH tric heaters .all over the house to get it dried out. But up in Aviemore, in the Cairngorm mountains in Scot- land, the deep snow which has brought misery to most of Brit- ain has. become a swirl of gold as hundreds of ski-ing enthusi- asts flocked there to revel in their favorite sport. The snow- covered mourtains have brought ski-ing conditions not to be rivalled anywhere on the con- tinent of Europe, not even in Switzerland. OVER 3,000 VISITORS The singing swish of skis and the bell-ringing of the tills in the hotels of this Scottish ski-ing re- sort have become sweet music to scots ears, Alastair McIntyre, who operates a hotel at boom- ing Carr Bridge, Inverness-shire, is beaming with delight. He Says: Operation Better Than Pain, Danger By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My _ hus- band has an enlargement of the prostate. Six months ago his doctor told him to consult a specialist. He is afraid an uper- ation will be advised and he is waiting until he is "financially able." In the meantime he is doing heavy work, but irregu- larly. Sometimes it almost gets him down. He has difficulty in emptying his bladder, his lower right side hurts frequently and he be- comes sluggish and feels weak. He is 55. What are the possibili- ties?--Mrs.. E.B.S. He will continue to suffer as long as his prostate trouble re- mains untreated. Whether it requires surgery, and how much of an operation it would be, is something he 's not going to know until he sees a specialist. A great many men have put off the operation under one ex- cuse or another, and have been sorry afterward that they thus prolonged their misery. But there can be, of course, worse consequences, Interfer- ence with the urinary system can cause infections that aren't always easy to clear up. More dangerous still, cancer may occur, Caught early, a prostate cancer is curable in a high percentage of cases, Ig- nored too long--you know the answer. Not knowing your husband, I can't suggest the best way of persuading him to act--to go to the specialist. Some men can be wheedled into it, some fright- ened into it, some shamed into it by accusing them of being "chicken." It's too bad that such measures ever have to be used, but if people won't do what they kaow is the wise thing, sometimes stronger steps have to be taken. As to waiting until he is "financially able'? that's not a valid excuse. Dragging around weak and in pain isn't going to help his earning ability a nickel's worth, If he hasn't the money right now (don't you have health in- surance?) lay the facts on the line with the specialist. He'll let your husband pay for the operation in instalments if this is necessary Dear Dr, Molner: My niece has a malformed kidney. Can you tell me anything about this and what can be done?--B.H. It's not common and can be of different types: Unusually small and under-developed kid- neys; extra lobes; fusing of. ont kidney to the other, forming a horseshoe shape. Treatment depends on the symptoms, type of deformity and assurance that the other kidney is functioning properly many people are getting along very well with one kid- ney. In some cases no surgery 's necessary. Such defects are usually discovered when a cyst- Oscopic examination or a pro- cedure called a pyelogram is done. These, of course, are or- dinarily done only after some symptoms have developed. "This year has been the best ever, At New Year there was not a bed to be had in the whole area, There were over 3000 visi- tors in the district, and before 1956 we closed down or did so little business that we lost money if we stayed open." The secret lies in these snow- clad hills, in which hotels in the chief skiing centres have the continental urge to please their: guests. Ski-lifts, access roads, and other facilities for the skiing fraternity have sprung up like mushrooms, and the hotel-keepers are work- ing together in a co-operative scheme to make hay, not while the sun shines, but while the snow flies. More than 50 hotels are link- ed together in the campaign to expand the snow business. They have established eight main ski- ing schools, each with at least three qualified instructors, who have been recruited in Norway, Switzerland and Austria. THREE CENTRES There are three main skiing centres. which are attracting hordes of winter visitors -- and their money to Scotland. One is on the northern slope of the Cairngorms near Aviemore. There is another at the brood- ing entrance to the Pass .of Glencoe. And the third is on either side of the Perth-Brae- mat road just above the notori- ous Devil's Elbow. In the Cairngorms there is a ski-lift which takes ski-ers up to a height of 2500 feet. From the car park it is a short walk to the chair lift which swings 500 people an hour up to a breath-taking 4000 feet. COSTS ARE LOW In this Scottish skiing para- dise, costs are remarkably low as compared with an expedi- tion to the Swiss Alps. Accom- modation and meals range from $25 to $37.50 a week, and tuitio? for the week about $6.00, Of course, there are many hardy types who can cut. their costs by camping, or staying at one of the youth hotels in the dis- trict. : So for the people in the Glens who have invested in hotel prop- erties, or thrown their homes open for winter tourists, there is indeed gold in every snow- flake, no matter what we poor sufferers in the south of Eng- land have to say about the miseries of this shocking win- ter.

(CP) -- A group of top business execu- tives huddled in a heated tent near here in mid-January for an official ceremony that may open a new era of industrial research. Through a briefly opened door they watched as the first eod--cut from the frozen earth prior to the ceremony by work- men using jackhammers--was turned in construction of an in- dustrial research community. And they saw a leafless ma- ple tree planted near the south- ern edge of the flat, sparsely wooded tract of 293 acres on which--if the planners' dreams come true--will rise 20 major research laboratories within 10 years Nucleus of the centre five miles north of here on the Queen Elizabeth Way will be the labs, library, pilot plants and administration buildings of the Ontario Research Founda- tion, an organization financed by government and_ business that has promoted industrial research since 1927. The ORF British Ships Face Challenge In Euromart LONDON (Reuters) -- British shipping will have to fight hard to hold its own if Britain joins the European Common Market, says S. G. Sturmey, a member of. the political economy depart- ment of London University. Membership of the six-nation trade group, he says in a newly published book, is unlikely to provide any great opportunities for British ocean shipping. "In short,' he adds, "the Common Market is more of a challenge than an opportunity for British shipowners, but not a challenge that should over- whelm them unless they decide that it shall." The book, British Shipping and World Competition, exam- ines why the tonnage of ships registered in Britain declined from more than 45 per cent of the world total at the beginning of this century to about 16 per cent in 1960. THEY'RE TO BLAME Although crew costs, foreign subsidies, war losses, tax bur- dens and flag discrimination have variously contributed to the shipping industry's difficul- ties, Sturmey believes the main cause of lack of growth lies with shipowners themselves. Even when the coal trade was declining and the oil trade ex- panding in the inter-war years, British shipowners scarcely thought of tankers, leaving Nor- wegian owners to step into the vacuum and add about 1,800,000 tons of tankers to their fleets, Sturmey says. Most British shipowners ne- glected the tanker until 1956, They were also, Sturmey adds, reluctant, with notable excep- tions, to change from steam to faster and more 'economical motor ships. But since 1958, Sturmey says, he has detected welcome signs of a new spirit in British ship- building. Research has outgrown its quarters in midtown Toronto, The projected research com- munity has three other charter member -- Consolidated Min- ing and Smelting Co. of Can- ada, Dunlop Canada Co. and ga Nickel Co. of Can- ada. PLAN METAL RESEARCH Cominco, a major producer of lead, zinc and chemical fer. tilizer, will build a $1,500,000 metal products research centre devoted to work on possible new uses for lead and zinc and methods of maufacture The 2,800-square-foot building on a 10-acre site will give Co- minco's initial staff of 40 a working area 'which will typ- ify the spacious campus-like concept that characterizes the entire Ontario Research Com- munity development," said company president W. S. Kirk- patrick. About half the initial Cominco staff will come from the firm's major centre of op- erations, Trail, B.C. Dunlop has arnounced its in- tention to build the company's North American research cen- tre in the community, and In- ternational Nickel plans to have its Canadian research centre there. : The Ontario Research Foun- dation, which gets half its money from government and half from business, was the guiding light of the plans for the community. Director A D. Misener of Toronto told businessmen at a luncheon following the cere- mony he thought the ORF was im the best position to promote such a project, SURVEYED FIRMS . "A government agency, if it tried the same thing, could hardly expect a like degree of co-operation from industry," he said, adding that "it was highly improbable that any industrial company could undertake a re- search community venture on its own (because) other compa- nies would not want to y second fiddle to the founding company." Desirability of having a re- search community was con- firmed in a survey of 80 Cana- dian companies in which Be: per cent of those replyi id it would be a "consteuétive idea." _Dr. Misener said the commu- nity is needed' because "inade- quacy of scientific manpower" is 'the major factor restricting utilization of research in Cana- dian industry." : Scientists trained in Cana- dian universities had been at- tracted to the United States or Europe or had given up the idea of industrial research in favor of working in university or government labs. One reason was that industrial research fa- cilities were such that the sci- entist often felt isolated from others in his profession. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM A man has generally been a poor sport about something when he asks his wife to be a good sport about it. In some cases, perhaps, the . girl who quotes from an old song, "The lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine," is stingy with her liquor. OTTAWA REPORT Pearson Reverses Nuclear Position By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--"Pearson proposes non-weapon role in NORAD." "Grits dead against nuclear weapons." "Pearson says 'Do away with interceptors'."' Those are three typical news- paper headlines of January just two years ago, when 2,000 Lib- eral delegates from all parts of Canada were gathered here at the National Liberal Rally. In his letter to 'Dear Fellow- Liberals" two weeks later, Lib- eral Leader Lester Pearson summarized the party policy hammered out at that rally The representative delegates had concurred with their leader and his advisers in this policy. Un- der the heading "Defence," Mr. Pearscn's letter set out these decisions, among others: "Under a new Liberal govern- ment Canada will withdraw from NORAD insofar as its present interceptor role is con- cerned. Liberal policy would, however, provide for an appro- priate Canadian contribution to continental defence in co-opera- tion with the USA. The Cana- dian role in such defence should be that of detection, identifica- tion and warning." NO NUCLEAR ARMS FOR US "Canada cannot deny nuclear weapons to other nations and at QUEEN'S PARK Session Improved By Early Budget By DON 0'HEARN TORONTO -- Early presenta- tion of the budget--Thursday, Feb. 7--will make for a better ssion. *eThere can't really be well- rounded consideration of many of the questions before the house until the members have the fi- nancial figures. : Education, highways, munici- pal affairs, health, welfare, for instance the affairs of practic- ally every department, in fact, all are tied closely to the budget. Mr. Robarts deserves praise for whipping his men to get it in so soon. Also, of course, it is pointed out that once the budget is be- fore the House he will be in a position to go to the people at any time. And if a sudden opening came up he might take it. MORE IRGANIZING It is more or less agreed, however, that the PC party won't be in good shape for an election until probably the end of March. It is still only part way through reorganization, And there is a lot of work yet to be done. It is estimated, for instance, that with retirements, opposi- tion seats and new ridings, the party will have to field 70 new candidates in the next vote. Some of these have been picked, But others have to be found, approved' and nominated. And it isn't something can be done overnight. GOOD CANDIDATES One of the big strengths of the Liberals in the next vote, incidentally, should. be their candidates. To date--in the by-elections-- they have been getting out good men. And this has not been without design and hard work There are two thoughts about getting candidates for a party. that The idealists would say that they should be selected entirely by the people of the riding. The practical politician says, let's not have any of that non- sense. In the successful political party candidates are carefully weeded out. The strongest advocate we have ever had of this here prob- ably was George Drew. Every man that ran for Drew in 1943 and 1945 was haad- picked. And he started the party off on 20 years of prosperity. The Liberals got away from the practice for a while. But now they have smartened up. And the results will show on the ballot forms. They will have some very good men in the field--for a change, the same time arm her own forces with them A new Liberal government therefore should not acquire, manufacture or use such weapons either under sep- arate Canadian control or under joint U.S,-Canadian control. Thus, just exactly two years ago, Mr. Pearson and his Lib- eral advisers and grass - roots delegates decided that our Air Force should be no more than an organized bird - watching force of unarmed fliers, respon- sible for defending Canada only by detection, identification and waining. And at the same time our armed forces should not be equipped with nuclear weapons. A year or so passed, and Mr. Pearson still advocated those policies. During the election campaign last Spring he urged that our Bomarc missile squad- rons should not be armed with nuclear warheads If they w so armed, he predicted, their sites near North Bay, Ont. and La Macaze, Que., would be prime targets for Soviet nuclear missiles and Canadian territory for many miles around would be laid waste in the first Soviet nuclear attack. MADE IN U.S. policy After the US. general, Lauris Norstad, visited Ottawa and de- livered his scolding to Canada, Mr. Pearson came out with @ complete switch. Our Bomarcs, our Starfighter interceptor air- craft, and our Honest John ar- tillery units should all be equip- ped with nuclear warheads un- der jomt U.S.-Canadian control or NATO control. Just before his policy rever- sal, Mr. Pearson had visited the U.S This led to Prime Minis- ter Diefenbaker's quip that every time Mr. Pearson goes to the U.S. he comes back with new orders, while in contrast the policies of the Conservative government are "made in Can- ada." Many observers here quite properly minimise this partisan storm in a nuclear teacup. It ts all, some suggest, just another but justified example of Canada reacting strongly when our big neighbor treads on our delicate toes called 'national sover- eignty;"' in like manner even Britain and France have re- cently reacted quite bitterly against President Kennedy's ra- ther: brusque superiority to- wards his "allies." More significantly, perhaps the varied stances by all our four political parties indicate that our national defence policy should be raised above the scope of partisan politics: It is too serious a matter to be the subject of mere campaign jockeying NOTICE The Following.
