She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1963----PAGE 6 Opportunity To Expand Trade With Australia Canadian goods are taking a larg- er share of the Australian market, according to R. B. Nickson, Can- ada's commercial counsellor in Can- berra. In a report to Foreign Trade, the fortnightly publication of the Department of Trade and Com- merce, he says that the Canadian share increased from 3.2 per cent in the year ended June 20, 1960, to 3.9 per cent in the year ended June 30, 1962, and continued to expand in the second half of 1962, when Canada supplied 4.5 per cent of the market. He adds that although these fig- ures reveal good growth, there is un- doubtedly plenty of scope for fur- ther development. He could have noted, too, that trade is a two-way street, and there is undoubtedly plenty of scope for further development of Australia's exports to Canada. We enjoy a fa- vorable balance of trade with Aus- tralia -- and Australia produces many items which we now buy from the United States with which we have an unfavorable balance. Australia produces citrus fruits, for example. A few weeks ago, when prices on fruits and vegetables imported from the United States be- gan to soar, ostensibly as a result of cold weather in the deep South, a shipment of Australian oranges ar- rived in Vancouver. The Aussie oranges went on sale at prices be- low those charged for the U.S. oranges before the big freeze. We have no report on how the Austra- lian oranges compared with the U.S. product for quality, but it was prov- ed that they could be competitive in price. Australia -- and the West Indies might well develop the Canadian market for sup-tropical and tropi- cal food products. This in turn would enhance Canadian chances of in- creasing sales to these Common- wealth partners, and would help to bring our balance of payments into better adjustment, Parks Program Pushed There was general approval last fall when Premier Robarts announc- ed that the Ontario government would start on a $200 million, .20- year program of land acquisition "designed, firstly to acquire parts of the shore-lines of the Great Lakes, and secondly, other need- ed lands so as to provide for fu- ture park and recreational needs, reforestation of idle lands, public hunting and fishing areas, and orderly commercial developments, with multiple-use management being stressed." The question- mark was the phrase "multiple-use management", which can cover everything from hotdog stands to mines. However, the Department of Lands and For- ests now reports that a survey is nearing completion in Southern Ontario to locate lands suitable for recreational purposes, "including park lands, public hunting areas, wetlands and lake access points." A similar survey is being made in Northern Ontario. The survey is particularly con- cerned with the finding of areas suitable "for park purposes readily available to all communities in Southern Ontario, roughly that part of the province south of a line from around Midland east to Arnprior on the Ottawa River." In line with this activity was the announcement by Lands and Forests Minister Roberts that the province had acquired 1,000 acres on, the north end of Balsam Lake, for Trent Waterway boat anchorage and camping, and 90 acres on the east side of Lake Simcoe for day use and lake access. The surveys and purchases are en- couraging evidence that the govern- ment does not propose to slacken its vigorous parks-recreation program. That the program is supported is shown by the figures: Nearly eight million people used the parks last year, an increase of 25.8 per cent over 1961; park campers last year totalled 1,058,000, an increase over 1961 of 22.6 per cent. Added Election Costs There have been some surly things said about the "unnecessary" cost of a second general election within a year -- an election which could have been postponed had the rival parties been more concerned with the national welfare than their own power positions, and an election which may well fail so settle much of anything. The Kitchener Record points out, however, that "the price of Canada's federal election will come higher than the dollars and cents of actual campaigning. The time and opportunity lost in grap- pling with problems now put in cold storage while the oratory resounds may cost much more than the cam- paign." The Record says that "one invoice i$ now in" and goes on to comment on. the Unemployment Insurance Fund, which, it is estimated, will be $22 million in the red by the end of April, a date much too early for any new government to come to grips She Oshawa Fines T, L.

The Record observes: "A House in session might con- ceivably have moved to implement some of the recommendations of the Gill report, a 17-month study of the fund which was delivered to the gov- ernment in December. "Some of the stiggestions were contentious enough, and important enough, to provide worthwhile topics for a campaign carried out at a more propitious time than the pre- sent resort to the hustings. "Bankruptcy of the fund has been inevitable ever since the politicians decided it was a good place for a little patronage on a large scale... "Now we shall have to pay the de- ficit, no matter what it is, on the present unsatisfactory basis of oper- ation, and without any authorization of the expenditure from the repre- sentatives of the taxpayers.

'WHERE HAS EVERYBODY GONE?' REPORT FROM U.K. Plan Hovercraft Service On River By M. McINTYRE HOUD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The much-dis- cussed Hovercraft has now passed the experimental stage. Within three months' time, the first of these new type transport vehicles, which are halfway be- tween an aeroplane and a boat, will be plying up and jown the River Thames, offering a serv- ice to the public. It will be a 60-seater Denny D2 Hoverbus, and will be operated by the Thames Launches Company by its makers, the Denny shipbuild- ing firm of Dumbarton, Scot- land, The D2 is somewhat different in design and construction from the original SR1 Hovercraft. The air cushion on which it rides is retained at the sides of the ves- sel by thin walls immeised in the water. It has a cruising speed of 29 miles an hour and a range of 100 miles. The first service, to be start- YOUR HEALTH Lapse Of Memory Trouble Symptom By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I have a 31- year-old daughter who is a good secretary. 2 She has not been very so- ciable since her husband's death six years ago. In recent months she has shown signs of nervousness. Occasionally she suffers from lapses of memory for a few moments, and as a result has been laid off. Her. doctor finds no physical ailments. She is ambitious and does not seem to realize her aaa What can be done?-- There's not much for me to go on in this case, but perhaps we don'i teed much to know what to do. If her troubles aren't physi- cal, what's left? They must be emotional With the relative shortage. of psychiatrists I am deliberately reluctant to say, go to a psychi- airist at the drop of a hat. In problems of lesser dimensicns, more and more physicians are learning to help people over these emotional rough. spots, and I'm glad to see increasing interest in this sort of care. But today's case isn't a prob- lem of lesser dimensions. When @ capable young woman can't hold her job as a secretary, and good secretaries are hard to find, it's an indication that her emotional disturbance is severe. The problem is severe enough to interfere with her work, her life, and I am sure, her happi- ness. Therefore my advice de- cidedly is to consult. a good psychiatrist. a condition such as this, unless helped, tends to get worse, not better, ~ How to find a psychiatrist is not always easy.

Royal assent was given to terms of the union of Newfoundland' with Canada 14 years ago today---rin 1949 --ending years of indecision and negotiation. In 1948 a plebiscite in Newfoundland indicated popular support for the union. On April 1 1949 Newfoundland entered Confederation as Canada's 10th province.

As to the causes of such a condition, I cannot even at- tempt to answer. They're too complicated, too varied. How- ever, once they're discovered, effective treatment may be de- vised. Dear Dr. Molner: There has been much publicity about de- formed babies as a result of their mothers taking thalidom- ide early in pregnancy. Many years ago while travel- ing in Egypt, I saw several cases Of children with the same sort of affliction, hands grow- ing out of their shoulders, etc. I am curious as to what might have caused these malforma- tions, years before the drug was known.--L.W.C. There are hundreds of such babies in the United States, and in other countries, for this is mot a new type of malforma- tion, The thalidomide situation simply marks a new cause. We have not, in the past, known precisely what caused these cases, other than that something disturbed the baby's development at the time at which the arms (or legs, or sometimes other parts of the body) were forming. ed.on the Thames in April, will be from the Festival Hall Pier near Waterloo Bridge, upstream to the Houses of Parliament and down to the Tower Bridge. It is expected that it will be largely used by tourists and sightseers anxious to ride on this novel type of craft. Ambitious long-term _ plans have been forecast by W. B. Caisley, a director of the Thames Launches Company If all goes well with this first Hovercraft, the service may be extended up the river as far as Richmond. It is more likely, however, that the first exten- sions will be to: theg east, to Greenwich and Southend, Even- tually, Mr. Caisley hopes, a ser- vice will be established to Bel- gium and other Common Market countries. Says Mr. Caisley: "It might be possible to col- lect some of the growing trade from both shipping and aircraft. I envisage going right into Brus- sels, After all, we have a good Start, when you think of the trouble getting London. freight and passengers out to London Airport by road." EXPERIMENTAL Mr. Caisley points out that the service which is to be inaugurated on the Thames is purely experimental. He feeis it will give his company an insight into both the practicability and the economics of the service, but it will be some time sefore these air cushion craft are on a profitable basis. He gives the interesting information that en 80-seater Hovercraft costs the company just as much as one of its launches which carry 300 passengers. Delay in getting the Hover- craft on to a commercia) basis has been due to the fact that no suitable engine has been de- signed solely for air cushion work. The engines used so far are ali conversions of aircraft, marine, automobile and even motorcycle engines. Said Mr. Caisley: "I do not think we shall. get much further until we get suit- able engines. I believe the an- swer will be rotary engines, per- haps on the lines of the Wanke!:" The Wankel is a German en- gine which has no pistons in the ordinary sense, and which is now being developed under li- cence in several countries. A Wankel is claimed to give more than twice the power of an en- gine four times its weight and size, and at half the cost. BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Rev. George Telford, minis- ter of St. Andrew's United Church, was re-elécted chair- man of the Oshawa Public Li- brary Board. Edward G. Storie was elect- ed president of the Ontario County Flying Club to succeed Hayden Macdonald. Mr. Storie was also a director of the Royal Canadian Flying Clubs Association. Due to the mild weather the 11 rinks, operated by the Com- munity Recreation Association and the Parks Board, were offi- cially closed, Gordon B. Miles was re-elect- ed president of the Oshawa Hu. mane Society at its annual meeting, City Council announced the 1948 tax rate at 33 mills, an in- crease of one and a half mills over 1947. The budget present- ed by Finance Chairman R. D. Humphreys called for an esti- mated expenditure of $1,200,139 for the year. 4 Mrs. A. J. Oliver and Mrs, Elmer Greene were pre- sented with Homemaker Ser- vice Awards on completion of a special course conducted by the Red Cross Society, Lebanon Lodge No. 139, AF and AM, held its third annual Military Night at the Masonic Temple.

Making a total of 4627 visits, Victorian Order of Nurses in Oshawa attended 759 patients, 102 more than in 1947, Strains Become Obvious In Afro-Asian Combine BOMBAY (CP)--Anti-colonial- {st and Communist influences are losing their appeal among the nations of the 60-member Afro-Asian solidarity organiza- tion as the politics of the body become more troubled and com- plex. Strains under which the or- organization operates have be- come sharper. as preparations began for its third plenary con- ference, Moscow and Peking are play- ing a behind-the-scenes game to woo the Afro-Asians, but the ideological debate between So- viet Premier Khrushchev and Chinese leader Mao Tse Tsung has driven deep wedges into the pro-Communist wings within the organization. The. India - China border Clashes also have disillusioned many members about the role of communism in Afro-Asian af- fairs, Meanwhile, United States po- litical strategy in Africa and Asia has helped kill much of the anti-colonial fervor among the awakening Afro-Asian sa- tions. ' FOLLOWED SUEZ The AASO was set up in 1957 when memories of. the Angio- French attack on Suez were still fresh and grim. Only eight Af- rican nations were independent at that time and the Chinese and Russians found a fertile field for spreading their propa- ganda. Attempts were made, too, to enlist the support of Latin- American countries. British Gu:- ana and Puerto Rico expect ad- mission to the AASO, which nas a new slogan: 'Forward to Afro-Asian-Latin American soli- darity." But with dozens of Afro-Asian nations getting freedom as a re- sult of peaceful negotiations with their erstwhile Western rulers, the anti-colonialist plat- form lost much of its force. What actually began to emerge was the fact of Soviet- Chinese rivalry for influence and prestige. Informed sources say the Chi- nese have been making furious attempts to discredit the Rus- sians in the eyes of AASO mem- bers. Peking agents are known to have distributed leaflets de- scribing Russia as a European power and that as such it should not have more than its "'propor- tionate" share in Afro-Asian af- fairs. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM If the average man were to kick the person responsible for most of his troubles, he would have to do so with his heels It is said there are only seven jokes. And no doubt Adam made up all of them but the mother-in-law joke. The man who boasts he never quarrels with his wife mistakes cowardice for chivalry. President Nasser of Egypt, suspicious of all Communists, is reported to have ensured that the permanent secretariat of the AASO in Cairo has a majority of his followers. Recently, Osende Afana of Cameroon was squeezed out of the 12-nation board of perma- nent secretaries because he nad projected the Peking line too vigorously. Camara Mamady, Guinea-born secretary of the 'board, has left for the same reason, He later went to Peking as his country's ambassador.

Japan Moving -- To Free Trade TOKYO (Reuters)--Japan is preparing to open the door to the sale of more foreign goods in its domestic markets. At the same time, the gov- ernment will press for the re- . moval of restrictions against . Japanese goods in overseas markets. : Government -- officials agree Japan must discard its tradi- tional protectionist policy and catch up with the "'liberaliza- tion" trend of world trade, But the government is not prepared to move too fast for fear of delivering crippling Hbiy to some domestic indus- ries, By Oct. 1 last, Japan had freed 88 per cent of its import trade, (The percentage was cal- culated on the basis of 1959 im- Ports). But some items, such as crude sugar, heavy oil, coal, autos, certain types of heavy machinery and certain types of machine tools, still remain on the restrictive list. Imports of these and about 200 other items are being re- stricted by prior allocation of foreign exchange under the country's import budget com- piled every six months. Twist Used As Gimmick To Boost Irish Tongue By CAROL KENNEDY DUBLIN (CP)--"Let's twist again," in Gaelic, is the latest inspiration of Gael - Linn, Ire- land's zestful native - language organization, to popularize the ancient Irish tongue among teen-agers. Founded and directed by Don- all O Morain, a hawk-nosed Dublin barrister of 37, the or- ganization is largely financed by a weekly football pool. Some private donations filter in but mostly the movement runs on faith and a sense of mission. It operates from a cluster of shabby offices in the smart shopping district of Dublin, with noticés in the strange angular script on the doors and secre- taries murmuring lilting Irish into the telephones, Its incon- gruous situation is somewhat symbolic, for Gael-Linn workers know they are up against a for- midable wall of apathy in the city, plus the pull of more so- phisticated influences. TEEN-AGERS TARGET Only in the far northwest and southwest corners of Ireland is the native language, sometimes called Erse, still in daily use. Irish schoolchildren have to learn it up to primary level and it is compulsory for some gov- ernment jobs, but the teen- agers are far more interested in keeping up with British and American fashions than in speaking an ancient language. Despite official bilingualism on street names and notices, it's even been known for a Dub- lin youth not to understand the once - inflammable nationalist slogan E"nn Fein -- "Ourselves Alone." : Pop songs in Gaelic are only Polynesian Origin Idea Rejected By By FRANK TERNAN © HALIFAX (CP)--A St. Mary's University professor rejects one of the most widely publicized theories about the origin of the Polynesians. Prince John Loewenstein of Austria, an archeologist, dis- putes the idea that the South Pacific islands were populated by settlers from South Amer- ica. Acceptance of the idea by laymen is based mainly on the Kon-Tiki expedition of 1947. "No serious-minded archeolo- gist accepts the theory although among the. general public it is commomly accepted as truth," Prince John said in an inter- view, He offers evidence to show the Polynesians came from Asia where, he says, vast migratory movements were taking place long before any person set foot in Polynesia. The Kon-Tiki expedition at- tracted world - wide attention when the Norwegian author and ethnologist, Thor Heyerdahl, set out on a balsa raft to re-enact a voyage he suspected had car- ried migrants from South Am- erica to the South Sea islands 3,000 to 4,000 miles away, After 101 days, wind and cur- rents carried the raft from Peru to one of the Polynesian is- lands, RAFT TOWED OUT "Heyerdahl proved his point as far,as the buoyancy of balsa rafts is concerned but the suc- cessful outcome of the venture failed to demonstrate clearly that Polynesia was well within range of coastal craft in abor- iginal Peru. "For one thing Heyerdahl re- quired the assistance of a ves- sel to tow his raft off the coast to reach the currents and winds necessary for the voyage." The possibility that the Poly- nesians had come from the New World was suggested early in the 19th century. It was noted that the prevailing winds and currents in the Pacific came from that directicn. As time went on, Prince John says, it was realized that sail- ings from Asia to: Polynesia were by no means impossible. Prince John, son of Prince Maximilian Loewenstein, was curator of Raffles Museum in Singapore before coming to Canada three years ago to ac- Professor cept a teaching post in French at the Jesuit - run university here, LANGUAGE AS PROOF He takes issue with the Kon- Tiki theory on several specific points, He says Heyerdahl claimed the coconut was intro- duced by the Peruvian ances- tors of the Polynesians between the years 500 and 1000. Coconuts grew in India long before that time, the prince says. As for Heyerdahl's suggestion that the knotted string cords of the Polynesians--used as mem- ory devices--derived from the Peruvian quipu, the prince says these have been found in other parts of the world, even as far away as The Congo. He says Heyerdahl called the Polynesians a race but actually they are a mixture with Cauc- asian, Mongoloid and Negroid features. Language proves "'beyond any doubt" that Asians . occupied Polynesia, he says, declaring that the Polynesian language is related to the various Indones- ian tongues while the languages of the American Indians belong to an entirely different group. River Olt in Romania. one way in which Gael-Linn is trying to fire the interest of Irish youth, Other, more successful ideas have been Irish country danc- ing on television--"the coun- try's dance-mad,"' said one ex- ecutive at Telefis Eireann--doc- umentary films and newsreels and occasional Irish plays pro- duced in Dublin, POPULAR SAMPLE Popular with both critics and public was a translation of J. M. Synge's classic one - act tragedy, Riders to the Sea, played in the Aran Island dia- lect from which, as one Gael- Linn enthusiast explained, "Synge got the rhythms. of his English." The organization is some- times thought to have hidden political motives by Irish peo- ple who feel the whole issue is out of date anyway, but Donall O Morain maintains its basie aim is to draw the two sections of Ireland together by a com- mon language inheritance, if nothing else. "No matter how our political or religious opinions may dif- fer, all the Irish people north and south are anxious to main- tain their national identity," he says. "This is exactly why we should strengthen the whole ba- sis of our identity--by our lan- guage." UNIFYING MISSION In a CBC interview broadcast last summer, O Morain stressed this unifying mission. "We must cling to everything which is common ground between Catho- lic and Protestant, for though Irish nationality is more secure than it was, we still have to heal 3 for the unity of the coun- ry." Apart from its cubtural acti. vities, Gael-Linn pours much or 'its income into schemes for de veloping the desperately. poo peasant farming and fishing areas of the western tip of Ire land. : The organization has built fac- tories, quick-freeze plants and boat-building workshops, estab- lished market gardens and helped put the barren, pebble- strewn soil of the west coast back into fertile condition. It also regularly sends school- children down to the Irish- speaking western districts on "Gaeltacht" scholarships and organizes national contests of singing and dancing after the pattern of a small - scale Eis- teddfod.
