L, Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1963 -- PAGE 6 More Useful Memorials To Honor War Dead Another war memorial is to be erected in 'Ottawa. It will honor the dead of the Second World War and the Korean "'police action", and will house the Book of Remem- brance. We are sure that the honor- ed dead would prefer to see. the money, more than a million dollars, used in a more constructive way. Certainly those 'men we knew, who gave their lives in Italy and North- west Europe, would have been criti- cal of any memorial that did not serve some more useful national purpose than an immobile pile of stone around which a crowd would gather once a year. Canada is the only developed country that has no national library. What could be more fitting than a national library building dedicated to the men who died for freedom of thought and expression? The lack of such a building is a national disgrace. It would be a fine thing to wipe out that disgrace and honor the war dead at the same time. Dr. Norman Mackenzie, former president of the University of British Columbia, recéntly wrote about the things he would like Ganada to do to celebrate its hun- dredth birthday in 1967, He said, for example: "I hope that every university in Canada will set itself a centennial project, an appropriate building, or a program of research and scholars ship, particularly in the humanities and the fine arts... I hope that individuals, corporations and organi- zations will endow fellowships and scholarships in honor of Confedera- tion and will establish revolving Joan funds and bursaries . . . These, and the recognition and preservation of those things which mark our history or contribute to it, are for me, at least, the important things for their influence and effects will be enduring and will continue to contribute to the welfare of Canada and Canadians long after the cheer- ing, the bonfires and the concerts are forgotten." That, we believe, is the way the honored dead would talk if they returned to our midst today. More British Emigrate Rising unemployment figures in Britain, combined with two months of abnormally severe winter weather, seem to be responsible for the strongly revived British interest in emigration to other Common- wealth countries. Our London cor- respondent, McIntyre Hood, reports that Canadian and Australian im- migration offices there are being beseiged by would-be emigrants an- xious to try their fortunes "across the water". Immigration officials have ex- tended their office hours and are holding extra sessions in various parts of Britain in order to handle the rush of inquiries. At Luton in Bedfordshire, for example, a Cana- dian official said, 'We have not in- terviewed so many people here since 1957." Two large factories. have closed in Luton since Christmas -- and it was after Christmas the Big Freeze really set in. Many of those who hope to emi- grate -- to Canada, at least -- are finding that they are not acceptable because they have no skills to offer. The Canadian officia] in Luton was quoted as saying: "We are not in- terested in general laborers or un- skilled workers, but we have found many people with the kind of skills and professions we want in Canada." The screening is wise, considering the number of unskilled people who cannot find jobs in Canada. It is rather a pity that the search for skills was not started sooner. Australia, too, wants people with skills, and does more than Canada to find them. Australia is still pro- viding assisted and sometimes free passages for the right kind of work- ers with the skills needed in that country. And Australia House re- ports: "We are receiving nearly four times as many applications as usual for assisted passages." West German Jockeys West Germany's Chancellor Ade- nauer and Vice-Chancellor Erhard tiffed last week and made up this week. These little spats between Adenauer and his heir apparent have become more frequent in re- cent months and bid fair to con- tinue until Adenauer steps down this fall, But Erhard's defensive reaction in his conflicts with Der Alte makes some West Germans wonder if he has the toughness to handle the difficult job as chan- cellor. Erhard has a strong rival in Foreign Minister Schroder, who may have a more subtle understanding of politics. Erhard has rightly been given a: major part of the credit for designing the economic policies under which West German has thrived during the past decade and more, but he has also indicated some clumsiness in his dealings with both political colleagues and op- ponents. Schroder has an oppor She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

The next few months in West German polities will be extremely interesting. While Adenauer has agreed to quit this coming autumn, it is obvious that he will step down only with the greatest reluctance. In the meantime Erhard will be struggling to maintain his position, and Schroder will be striving to improve his. ; Both Erhard and Schroder are determined defenders of Germany's wider commitments in the Atlantic alliance, in NATO and the West European Union. Both men, too, would like to see Britain as a full member of the Common Market, and both were critical of de Gallle's véto. The power struggle between the two is one which can be watched quite impartially--for a change--by British and North Americans. Other Editors' Views 'SMOKE IRANIAN' (Financial Post) The "Buy Canadian" campaign is mild, indeed, compared with the version they've got in Iran. There, a recent government decree bans import, sale, possession and smoking of foreign cigarettes, Smokers must switch to bratids manufactured by the state tobacco monopoly or face arrest and prose- eution. Those Lranians don't fool around, YOUR HEALTH Halt To Drinking Way To Stop DTs By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I would like to know about D.T.'s. San anything be done unless the per- son is willing? Is there. a com- plete cure? Is it dangerous?-- F.R.W. D.T.'s, or delirium tremens is the end point of too much indul- gence in strong drink, It in volves jilters, nervousness, hal- lucinations, staggering gait-- you name it. It's there. Whether the victim is danger- ous to others depends on cir- cumstances and on what hallu- cinations he may have. It is certainly dangerous (and des- perately uncomfortable) for the victim himself, since there is bound to be physical damage from the amount of drinking needed to bring on delirium tre- mens. Cirrhosis of the liver is the one that comes first to mind. No there isn't much that can be done for the person unless he will co-operate, by which I mean quit drinking. But if he does stop, sedatives and per- haps tranquilizers may help him some, and getting him to eat and sleep properly will be still more heipful. It's hard to say that a com- plete cure is possible because of the probability that perman- ént physical damage has oc- cured, but the D.T.'s won't. re- turn if he stays away from alcohol. Dear Dr. Molner: I read the letter from the woman whose little boy hada seizure and shows signs of epilepsy, and she called it a fit. Why can't people learn to call them seizures or spells instead? I am an epilep- GALLUP POLL tic and I think it sounds so much better. Maybe I'm over- sensitive --Mrs, F.W. I don't know, Maybe you are too sensitive. But if you are, I still wish people would use terms that don't bother you. It won't hurt them; it will help you. I prefer the description, "con- vulsive seizure," Dear Sir: You recently had an article on loss of potency in men. Kindly advise something I should take to create potency.-- C.E.P. What makes you think you should take something? General good health, maintenance of proper weight, and getting yourself! in a healthy frame of mind are the important factors. You don't "take something" except to correct what is wrong. For instance, if-you happen to have a thyroid disorder, it Should be treated. Or anemia. Or whatever. But if you are reasonably healthy, the problem of loss of potency is almost always phy- chological, You know you are getting older and you start to worry about it, and the worry is the worst thing in the world for you in this regard. You can't expect to be a vig- orous, happy-go-lucky age 29 all of your life, so expect to slow down some. And don't think you can work yourself to a frazzle, Stay up too late at night, worry yourself goofy about the house- hold bills, drink several cock- tails before dinner, get fat, get out of condition from Jack of exercisé, and still expect to "take something" that will cor- rect all of that for you, Dear Dr. Molner: I would ap- Party Identification Checked On 10 Counts (World Copyright Reserved) ny THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Given a check-list of ten at- tributes, voters find little dif- ference between Conservatives and Liberals, Tories, however, are far more identified t han Liberals as having the support of business.

I'm especially con- cerned about putting a teen- ager on it. The lack of fruit and Vitamin C alarms me. My daughter should lose 50 pounds, The doctor can find nothing or- ganically wrong with her,-- B.C, Calories do count. So do foods and the proper vitamins. The best way to reduce the weight of a teen-ager depends on hav- ing the youngster really want to lose. Then she'll accept and follow a diet which will reduce weight gradually, provided she has what it takes not to snitch an occasional soda, bottle of pop, candy bar, bag of peanuts, or pizza. Dear Dr. Molner: We have six healthy children, aged 4 to 16 and they each drink a quart of homogenized milk a day. With all the rumors about cholesterol and Strontium-90, my wife thinks we should dis- continue or at least curtail their milk consumption: What's your verdict? --J.W. Here's my. view--not verdict. After seeing thousands of milk- drinking youngsters grow up strong and healthy, I've got to have more than theories or no- tions to persuade me to avoid a food that has done so much for us. Concerning cholestrol, it seems more to the point to be cautious about other sources of animal fats. We need some fat in the diet and the butterfat in milk is a good source. Milk also is rich in calcium, which is needed for strong bones and teeth. As for Strontium-90 -- {t's a matter that deserves continuing study, as does all radioactivity, but I can't sce any reason for giving up milk PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Nearly all girls have said: "T wouldn't marry the best man on earth!" And many of them, when they marry later, go to great lengths to prove they mean what they said. To be certain about some- thing, a person has to know al- most everything or nothing about it. é Young man, don't run after women. You can stroll along leisurely and get mixed up with more of them than you'll know What to do about. Another way to win friends and influence. people is to be a cheerful and complimentary liar. DINED ON FAGGOTS MONTREAL (CP) -- When the Welsh Society of Montreal held its annual dinner recently faggots were the main course. Faggots are a kind of meat loaf made from chopped liver. Thirty pounds of the dish were flown to Montreal for the din- ner, a gift of the Welsh Tourist and Holiday Board. i OTTAWA REPORT Candidates Sniff Electoral Breeze By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The polls have not. yet been widely accepted as a measure of the mood of the Ca- nadian voter in this election campaign. Even those political pundits who in past elections have yated the polls as more reliable than a crystal ball, and only slightly less sure than on advance tip from heaven, are this year tending to sniff the po- litical breeze for themselves. The latest test of the national electoral temperature by the nation-wide poll of the Canadian Institute of Public Opinion was taken in the first week of Feb- ruary, That was just before the Conservative government was overthrown on two votes of con- fidence in the House of Com. Getting Name Back On List OTTAWA (OP)--Urban 'elec- tors whose names have been left off the voters' lists after the enumeration for the April 8 federal election have three methods of getting them on. They can personally apply when the revising officer holds his 'court'? March 21-22-23--the 18th, 17th and 16th days before poll'ng. They can have another elec- tor, an employer, or a blood relative represent them at the revising court. Or they can avail themselves of the services of an election worker who will visit them at home. If they choogee the third course and notify the returning officer, between March 15 and 23--the 24th and 16th days be- fore election day -- revising agents will call on them and help them make out formal ap- Plications to have their names added. EASIER IN RURAL AREA The revising agents are nom- inated by the party that won the seat at the last election and by the runner-up party. In each urban constituency, two such agents are named for each of the so-called "'revisal districts," generally comprising 35 polling divisions, The agents then will bring the officer, who substitutes for the county court judge for that dis- trict and has quasi-judicial sta- tus. If he is satisfied the per- son-in question is entitled to vote, he adds the name to the list if not, he must send the applicant a _ registered {fetter stating the reason. In rural constituencies, an enumerator appointed by the ieturning officer hears applica- tions from unlisted persons on March 21, the 18th day before the election. However, a qualified elector can still vote even if his name does not appear on the official list in a rural riding. He simply has to appear at the poll on election day, have a_ listed voter take an oath vouching for him, and take an oath himself. mons, and also just before prin. ciples, politics and private at. fairs started the trek out of the cabinet chamber. That poll indicated that, of every 100 voters, 44 would sup- port Liberal candidates, 33 would back Conservatives, 12 would vote. for NDP and 11 would back the Social Credit. That spread of 11 percentage Points between the Liberals and the Conservatives is slightly less favorable than the 14 point spread which the Liberals en- joyed, according to that same pollster, three weeks before the 1957 election. Yet in the évent, the Conservatives then at- tfacted 5 per cent more votes than suggested by the poll, and the Liberals 6 per cent less. So the Conservatives won the elec- tion by 112 seats to 105. This poll, taken early in Feb- Tuary, suggests that the situa- tion may be repeating 1957, with the Conservatives creeping up to pass the Liberals at the finishing line. For over the pre- vious four weeks, the Conserv- atives had narrowed the gap, from 15 to 11 percentage points. If we look back over the ac- tual records of votes in past elections, we see that the Lib- erals won by a record 20.8 per cent advantage in 1940, by 19.8 in 1949, and by 15.3 in 1935, In that latter year, the 15 point spread gave the Liberals 173 seats to the Conservatives 40. Since a poll came out in Oc- tober last, showing voting inten- tions very similar to that 1935 QUEEN'S PARK poll, several top tiver here predicted simifar results ir the coming election, "We will get fewer seats un- der Diefenbaker in 1963 than we got under Bennett in 1935," they mourned. and they thought back sadly to that electoral ree- ord in 1958, when with a 20 per- centage point advantage in the votes cast, they attained the all. time highest majority df seats in the House of Commons: 208 to 49 Liberals, PLAYING IT BY "HEAR" But; at least up te. now, neither Liberals nor Consérva- tives are placing much reliance on the polls, Perhaps this is be- cause so many f.ctors have ma. tured after the last poll was taken, and are having results which are still developing. These factors include the anti- American sentiment stirred up by the brash intervention of the U.S, state department, the emo- tional nuclear issue, and wave | of 'sympathy extended to the prime minister on account of at- tacks made on him, especially in the U.S. press. his Every pundit is mixii own brew: Two parts wishful thinking to one part rumor from the backwoods, one part Madi- son Avenue guestimate, and a dash of rye. This intoxicating brew leaves a hangover of fear of "an un- stable Parliament," which ts nothing but.a bogey. The elec- tion will enable the voters of Canada to select 265 represénta- tives to govern the country. If they would go back to basic common sense, and shun "pér- forming seal' party rigidity, surely some coalition of men and policies could be achieved which would command major- ity support, Fifty million Frenchmen ¢an't be wrong; nor can like numbers of Germans and Italians; they all manage to live with multi-party parlia- ments. No Easy Answers To Farm Puzzles By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The main result of the agriculture debates this year has been to show just how complex the problems of the in- dustry are. From the dairy industry, to vertical integration, to market- ing--right down to colored mar. garine, there aren't "any easy answers," This was an expression used often by the minister of agricul- ture, Hon. W. A. Stewart, dur- ing lengthy discussion of esti- mates. And one has to agree with him REALLY TERRIFYING ' One can't perhaps agree en- tirely that the minister is press. ing for solutions perhaps as vig- orously as he might. He left the impression of per- haps being awed by the enor- mity of the problems he has to face. But again one has to admit the questions in practically ev- ery facet of agriculture today are terribly involved, Vertical Integration: It appears that before the ses- BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Harry ©, Lander, manager of the Oshawa branch of the Royal Bank for 26 years, was trans- ferred to the head office, To- ronto. A. A. Hutchinson, mana- ger of St. Mary's branch, was appointed to fill the vacancy. George Hart was elected pres- ident and R. B. Faith, secretary of the Oshawa Motor Club at its annual meeting. J. Norval Willson, A. V. Swail and A, L. Bouckley were appointed to rep- resent Oshawa at the 3ist méet- ing of the Ontario Motor League held in Toronto. Over 1,200 students were en- rolled in night school classes at the Oshawa Collegiate, which made doubling up in some of the subjects necessary.

It is agreed, even by the gov- ernment, that these amend. ments did practically nothing te stem the trend for canners and packers to gobble up the farm- ing industry. 'a And little' more is obviously expected for this year's legisla- tion. Deep answers are required for any broad solution. MILK TOO The same, of course, applies to the dairy field, " Its troubles are deep. They go back for years. There are jealousies involved -- even between those favoring differ. ent breeds of cows. But there is much more than jealousy. There is, for instance, the fact that Quebec is our fext door neighbor and its rural standards of living are lower. Its producers can undercut ours. It may be, as some think and say, that the dairy industry should be protected. A personal observation is probably that unless some peo. ple begin to réally look at these questions in cool perspective can we and do we really want to fight integration? and basic- ally in all their depth we won't even begin to find answers. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 6, 1963... The city of Toronto was incorporated 129 years ago today--in 1834, The site of today's city was purchased by Lord Dorchester from the chiefs of the Missisauga Indians in 1787 but there was no real settlement until 1793 when Toronto was sé- lected as capital of the ré- cently created province of Upper Canada.
