he Oshawa Gunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Money Theory Debate Difficult To Arrange "A spokesman for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has said that the CBC does not plan to make debating time available for a con- frontation between a political lead- er and a non-political figure. The CBC's political free-time broadcasts are divided by mutual arrangement among the parties and no allowance is made for debates that involve per- sons outside the parties, This means, of course, that if Social Credit leader Robert Thomp- son and Eric Kierans, president of the Montreal Stock Exchange, are to meet in a television network de- bate, it is not likely to be on the CBC. A spokesman for a private network said (at the time of writ- ing) his organization had not re- ceived any proposals from the "par- ties concerned" and no decision could be made until the matter had been studied. The CBC said, however, that it would provide news coverage if the two debated on a public plat- form. . One can understand the CBC's po- sition; if the corporation gave even an hour to a Thompson-Kierans de- bate, it would-be flooded with re- quests and demands for time for other debates, Still, it's a pity it can't come off, because it would call what looks like a Social Credit bluff. The original challenge to a debate was directed at Mr. Kierans by the president of the Social Credit Asso- ciation of Canada. Mr. Kierans re- plied that he felt it would be more useful to debate with Mr. Thompson, 'The latter said he would be pleased to meet Mr. Kierans if a national network carried the meeting. It seems likely that Mr. Thompson had some understanding of the CBC's problems when he made the national network a condition of the debate. Mr. Kierans has been making speeches attacking Social Credit monetary policies, because, he says, these policies can be made to sound plausible but would be disastrously inflationary in practice. He has dealt in specifics, but Social Credit replies have been more denunciatory than explanatory. A confrontation between Mr. Kierans and Mr. Thompson would be enlightening, indeed. Ryerson Still Growing What was the Ryerson Institute of Technology is now the Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, and it be- comes an independent institution under a board of governors. On the board will be the minister of educa- tion, a representative of the board of governors of the University of Toronto, a representative of the Association of Professional Engine- ers, the principal of Ryerson and nine other residents of Ontario. The changes are the result of the remarkable growth of Ryerson from the first fumbling days of 1948 to the vigorous, successful present. The original plan was for a school to train engineering tech- nologists - the specialists who are not full engineers but without whom the university - trained en- gineers find themselves hampered or wholly ineffective. Now Ryer- gon provides a variety of courses, from business subjects to photo- graphy, from journalism to home economics. Its standards are such that its graduates are welcomed by employers. From the start, the Ontario De- partment of Education has sponsor- ed and controlled the development of Ryerson. But probably the main credit for its growth in capacity and prestige should go to Principal Howard Kerr - in whom the people of Oshawa can have a proprietary interest, because he taught here, at OcvI. Earlier we described the growth of Ryerson as "remarkable" but actually, considering the need for such an institute, it has been not so much remarkable as inevitable. Uni- versities do not, and they should not, attempt to fill all the demands of a complex, technological society. A substantial contribution must be made by such institutions as Ryer- son. And Principal Kerr and the Department of Education have dem- onstrated how this can be achieved, More Food And Power To Canadians and Americans pay- . ing for the stockpiling of agricult- ural surpluses, talk about the need for more research into ways of in- creasing food supplies may sound a little sour. But if problems of dis- tribution and payment could be overcome, our surpluses would van- ish overnight and famine would still stalk millions of people in less for- tunate parts of the world. So the constant search for new ways of producing food goes on. Concentration on this problem produces some strange possible so- lutions. A young British biologist, for example, has a plan for combin- ing the production of electricity with the production of fish. It is no coincidence that he works for Brit- ain's Central Electricity Generating Board. His idea was explained the other day in a BBC broadcast.

The water itself heats and must be cooled in costly structures called cooling towers. If the cooling towers were replaced by huge ponds, the water could be kept at a temperature of around 60 de- grees Fahrenheit - the best temper- ature for breeding tropical fish which provide good food in their native countries and should do the same in Britain. The warm water that nurtured them could be re- circulated through the turbines of the power station, warmed again and taken back to the ponds. Other forms of food, such as oysters, mus- sels and clams, could similarly be "farmed". The commentator suggested that the plan could prove far more valu- able in the developing countries of the world than in Britain, where the ponds would take up expensive land, but "if the huge capital cost of nuclear, or even of a conventional power program could be partly off- set by coupling it with a new means of food production, then this invest- ment would be far more acceptable."

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Workmen engag- ed in the task of making excava- tions for the new Euston Station which is now under construc. tion in London have made an interesting discovery. They have found that under the pres. ent Euston Station, deep under- ground, there is another sta- tion. It was at one time the terminus of a 98-year-old forgot- ten underground railway. Few Londoners of the present cen- tury even knew of its existence, QUEEN'S PARK but the story surrounding it is rather out of the ordinary. This station was the terminus of a three-mile long under. ground railway, and the tube in which its trains ran, runs under Drummond street, Tottenham Court road and Holborn to St. Martin's-le-Strand. And it dif- fered from the underground railways of today in that it car- ried automatic, driverless trains, These trains ran at an aver- age speed of 35 miles an hour, and on the down grade under Farrington street, they often reached 60 miles an hour, a speed which to this day has Liberal Praises Sask. Hospitals By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--It was almost un- believable, but it happened. Someone in the House other than an NDP member had a good word to say for Saskatche- wan. Ray Edwards, the Liberal from Wentworth, praised hos- pital standards in the western province. This just not has been: done here. For years the CCF tra- ditionally bragged about Sas- katchewan and its achieves ments while the other two par- ties ran it down. To the observer it was most refreshing to see Mr. Edwards break new. ground, The bickering over this one CCF government in the country has not only been foolish to watch it has been dull. Saskatchewan, of course, does good things, and probably many of them, CONNELL TOO: There was the same warm feeling while Hon, Ray Connell was discussing his estimates.

French navigator and pio- neer Samuel de Champlain sailed from France 360 years ago today -- in 1603 --to visit Canada and make a reconnaissance trip up the St. Lawrence as far as the Lachine Rapids. In 1604 he took part in the founding of Ste. Croix and the following year was among the found- ers.of Port Royal. He ex- plored and mapped the Aca- dian and New England coasts and in 1607 returned to France. in 1608 he founded Quebec and spent the rest of his life develop- ing and strengthening the colony there.

England (CP) -- Sydney Bridge of New- ton-le-Willows, Lancashire, will manage Britain's two-amn team for the World Plowing Cham- pionships being held at Caledon, Ont., next fall, tory remarks had a few good words to say for th eopposition. He recognized that it was its duty to criticize and noted that in fact this criticism was essen- tial to healthy government. Mr, Connell later got just as mad as anybody else at some of the opposition questioning. But his basic recognition of the opposition's job took any un- pieasantness out of it. This most unlikely man for the job-a chicken farmer by oc- cupation-is turning out to be a good minister of Public Works. He perhaps doesn't have too exceptional a grasp of all the fine details of business He looked quite weak, for instance, when the members were ask- ing him about fair wages. But he has his department well organized and apparently running very efficiently. One would say that what he lacks in business experience he more than makes up for by be- ing a human being. He is obviously sincere, and quite unaffected in character. And this has gained him an ex- ceptional loyalty from his staff. never been reached on the tubes under London's streets. AMAZING FEAT G. W. Parkin, the electric traction engineer at London Midland Region's Stonebridge Park power station, has been making an intensive study of this old railway since its term. inus and tube were unearthed by the Euston excavators. Says Mr. Parkin: "It was really an amazing feat at that time. The air pres. sure required to propel the trains through the tube was provided by two 24 horse-power engines, which drove fans cap- able of forcing the train for- ward by an atmospheric pres- sure, or bringing them to a halt by air pressure in front.' CARRIED MAILS But this ancient underground railway was not built to carry passengers. It was built for the privately - owned P ne umatic Despatch Railway for the car- riage of mails and parcels be- tween Euston and the General Post Office headquarters in St. Martin's-le-Grand. It was offi- cially opened by the Duke of Buckingham on November 7, 1865, and on that day some of the country's most eminent en- gineers were taken on it for a joyride. One of the passengers on this journey, made in pitch dark- ness with the tube roof literally only inches from his face as he lay on one of the trucks, said afterwards: "Tt isa curious sensation to be flying along feet first under the earth in utter darkness, the sensation at starting and on arrival being far from agree- able. The pressure on the ears is suggestive of a diving bell, the icy blast of cold air being accompanied by a rusty smell. The degree of comfort could be likened to riding in a truck over the worst ballasted rail way in England." This pneumatic railway, how. ver, was doomed to be short- lived. The many problems in- volved in keeping it in opera. tion and keeping the various air-locks sufficiently tight were too much for the engineers of that time. So in 1876 it was closed down and abandoned, Now it has been re-discover- ed with the beginning of work on the re-building of Euston's main line station, it is still pose sible to wade through a consid- erable portion of the old tube, but Mr. Parkin does not be- lieve that a use for it will ever be found again. BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Rev. C. W. DeMille resigned as pastor of King Street United Church and announcement was made that Rev. C. E. Craig, of Sarnia, would succeed him. Simcoe and King streets were snowbound, and side streets were completely impass- able after a blizzard. A company was formed to provide for a new Masonic Temple to be built at Centre and Metcalfe streets. The build- ing was expected to cost $65,000. Hambly Brothers announced doubling the capacity of their ice plant which would provide 42 tons of ice daily to Oshawa householders. Miss Ruth Fishleigh, of the Oshawa Collegiate _ Institute, won the district _oratorical championship against six com- petitors. Rev. G. W. Irwin was induct- ed as the first pastor of Cedar- dale United Church. Jack Germond was awarded the Stalter "Y" junior boys' medal in an oratorical competi- tion under the direction of Mrs. A. Bell. Ernest Marks, manager of the New. Martin Theatre, an- nounced that redecorating of the establishment would -make it one of the most modern the- atres in the province. Oshawa building permits reached a total of $100,000 to date this month, including two apartment permits for L. V. Disney. S. Clement, Bruce street, saw a group of six golden orioles in his garden. Oshawa's Ukrainians, number- ing over 1,000, held a banquet in Welsh's Parlors. Mayor R. D, Preston, who addressed the gathering, referred to the col- ony's community spirit by erecting a technical school in the city. Mrs. E, Downey was elected President of Westmount Home and School Club to succeed Mrs. L. Weeks. As a possible site of the city's new civic buildings Ald. G. D.

One is being sure you are ready for bed. Whether § it's cleaning your teeth, opening the window, putting the cat out, changing the thermostat or set- ting the alarm, get it done first. Crawling into bed and then having to get up to do some of these small chores is a pretty sure way of becoming wide awake. Another trick is to relax de- liberately, This is something you've doubtless heard about-- but have you tried it? Really tried it for a few nights in a row? Practice paying orderly attention to each part of the body. Close your eyes. Relax your toes, feet, legs, abdomen, and so on, It can be done, A wise swimming coach had members of his team relax at pool-side before a meet to rid them of their tensions. (He was also shrewd enough to pick a section of floor under which ran some heating pipes. The warmth helped.) Heat is relaxing, whether a warm bath or shower, or a hot water bottle. I don't recommend electric heating pads for this particular use, because they have to be turned off--and you want to drop off to sleep and not have anything to do, nothing nagging at your mind. Some people have even found that a small comforter or even a woolly scarf wrapped around the neck stems to help a lot. Your emotions are enor. mously important but I delib- erately haven't stressed this for fear of having somebody think that "'Dr. Molner claims it's all in your head." If you let yourself fret it's a hard habit to break, but never- theless it can be accomplished. Don't stew and fret at bedtime about what went wrong during the day. Don't worry about to- morrow. If you haven't already made your plans for the 'next day, this is no time to begin. Maybe you should have planned earlier, But if you haven't, a good night's sleep will let your brain do twice as much plan- ning in half the time in the morning. It's best to get into the habit of finishing everything that needs to be done at night, then drinking a glass of warm milk or whatever, (but steer clear of coffee or tea) and making that a signal that one day's chores are finished. It's time to relax. Books and reading? Fine, if you have something placid and unexciting--even perhaps some. what "heavy" or even boring. But if you are the keyed-up type anyway, don't make the mistake of expecting exciting fiction to put you to sleep. If you must willy-nilly "finish a chapter," you're liable to force yourself to stay awake just long enough to start another, And another. Finally, if this isn't too ele- mentary, give this a thought. People who are physically ac. tive normally sleep longer (and more easily) than others. Do you really get a brisk lot of ex- ercise every day? And don't, don't think you can have a semi-sleepless night and then make up for it by taking things easy the next morning, having an afternoon nap, and dozing awhile in the evening. Do that, and you can be sure that you won't be in prime con- dition to drop promptly off to sleep at bedtime, Learn to get tired! Dear Dr. Molner: What is re by a "coin lesion' ?-- A lesion (injury or lump or scar or the like) seen on a chest x-ray plate, and so named be- cause it looks something like a coin, It may or may not be be- nign, but should be watched carefully for change in size. not wring our s c ties today. FLOOR PRICE NO BOOST' Late in 1961 the price top quality wheat around $1; A culture Department officials here point out that it has between that figure and $2 the gradual lowering of change value of the C: dollar gave it that boost. Un the International' Wheat ment, the price is $1.62% to $2.02%4 in US, $. Thus Mr, Pearson's promise of a $2 floor price would not significantly improve upon the Present price attained under the Conservative Government, This price normally means the price to buyers, : at Fort William, From e, one must deduct the cost of administering and operating the Canadian Wheat Board. Say five cents per bushel; the cost of handling the grain at the Prairie elevator-say 5 cents per bushel; and the cost freighting the grain from Prairies to the elevators Lakehead - 24 cents per Saskatche bry wan-sa: bushel, r Py sife< i 5 3 Thus, of the $2 e at Lakehead, the faites in katchewan receives about $ Translated into terms of 25 cent price for a 24 ounce loaf of bread in your local gro- ceteria, wheat prices work out this way. One bushel of wheat, wei 60 pounds, yields 4314 Petey | flour of baker's grade-worth 7% cents per pound-plus 1314 pounds of by-products, such as animal feed. That amount of baker's flour will yield, when admixed and baked, 65 pounds of bread. Thus $2 worth of Prairie wheat yields approxia mately $3.06 worth of flour, which in turn becomes $10.33 worth of bread. RECORD WHEAT PAYMENT Mr, Pearson's promise to the prairie farmers, if put into ef. fect, would make little presen difference to the farmer's cash income, nor to the cost. of youn bread today. But it would be a form of insurance to the farmen against a slump in world wheab prices, Meanwhile, our farmers can look forward to a record finab Payment on their 1961 - 1963 wheat pool, which has just been closed out. They received an ins itial payment of $1.40 per bushed when delivering their grain; then they received a 10 cenb adjustment; now, within the next month probab! should receive pes ing the final payment, which predictably may be in the neigh« borhood of a record 45 cents per bushel. A contributory fac+ tor in this high payment has of course been the vonanza which has helped all Canadian exports ers, namely the reduction of the exchange value of the Canadian dollar which has done so much to help Canada compete io world markets. 7 = wy = z at a popular price, 20 great whiskies Se ong Years ago Adams distilled 29 great whiskies, each with its own distinctive characteristics, and then aged them in special oak casks.
