pI oS Sa She Oshawa Gines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 1963 -- PAGE 6 No Sign Of Big Swing Midway In Vote Drive With less than three weeks to go until election day, there is still no indication that the voters have been persuaded to shed the doubts which created the confusion of last June. Uncommitted observers in various parts of the country appear to be agreed that there is no evi- dence of any substantial swing: of voter opinion -- not yet. There is general agreement, too, that Ontario and Quebec are the big fighting-grounds -- Ontario for the Conservatives and Quebec for the Liberals. + At the beginning of the week, the picture seemed to be this: No signs of any big upheaval in the Maritimes or on the Prairies; pos- sible gains by the New Democrats in British Columbia; a tooth-and- nail struggle between Liberals and Social Creditists in Quebec; and a vast area of uncertainty in Ontario, with Conservatives, Liberals and New Democrats all expressing op- timism. Conservatives feel they hit rock bottom in Ontario last June and that they can regain some of the seats they lost by very small mar- gins in that election. If that turns out to be the case, and the Liberals fail to turn back the Social Credit challenge in Quebec, Mr. Diefen- baker could still be prime minister three weeks from now. But there is nothing certain in politics, and much could happen between now and April 8. Mr. Khrushchev'ss Shoes It is interesting to note that the two-faced nature of Communism came into the open during the height of the Cuban crisis in such an unlikely place as the Russian state-controlled press. On page one of the October 28 issue of Izvestia, the official Soviet Government newspaper, reported on Premier Khrushchev's letter to President Kennedy. Mr. Khrushchev is quoted as tell- ing the President, "I make this pro- posal: we remove from Cuba those weapons which you consider offen- sive... the U.S.A. on its part would temove its comparable weapons from Turkey." On page two of the same issue, Izvestia was singing a somewhat different tune in itg editorial columns. "Measuring everything by its own cynical money-changer stan- dards," the paper opened, "there are those in the U.S.A. who specu- late that in exchange for denying Cuba the ability to repel American aggression, one might 'give up' some American bases close to Soviet territory ... Such 'proposals', if you call them that, merely serve to betray the unclean conscience of the authors," If the shoe that Izvestia has fashioned fits, by all means let Mr. Khrushchev wear it, Collection By Scouts * On Saturday the Boy Scouts. of Oshawa will be on the streets of the city collecting used clothing for the Society for Cripplied Civilians. Every bag of clothing collected provides a half a day's employment for a handicapped person. In the closets of Oshawa's residents lies the potential to keep someone less fortunate than ourselves busily em- ployed. The Oshawa Times heartily en- dorses "Good Turn Day" as a worthy service project. and urges the citizens of Oshawa to fill the empty Good Turn bag the Cubs and Scouts left last week. Be sure that it is on your doorstep early Saturday morning, March 30. We are proud of the Boy Scouts who, in so many ways, are contri- buting to a better community and a better Canada, Security And Test Ban . It is most peculiar that so many "peace group" supporters should ¢riticize the political leaders of the West for insisting on realistic secur- ity provisions in any nuclear test ban or disarmament agreement with the Soviet Union. This is rather like castigating a bank for installing a strong vault on the premises on the ground that the vault is a reflection on employee integrity. If the Soviet Union, in point of fact, sincerely intends to disarm or to stop testing, then surely it can ~ Bible Thought : Thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make: thee ruler over many things.

Other Editors' Views A PROFESSION Kingston Whig-Standard Public school teachers on this continent on a whole are the victims of democracy run wild: in fact not democracy -but rather public atti- tudes born of that bastard offspring of democracy, equalitarianism. The public is reluctant to admit any kind of excellence because excellence in- fers degrees of superiority and in- feriority as between individuals. It has been, therefore, the concern of the public to stop teachers from getting above themselves. Teachers are expected on the one hand to be highly qualified models of decorum and upholders of public concepts of purity. But they are also refused the freedom a profes- sional must have. LITERAL TRANSLATION (France Soir) Officials of the French national radio and television network have pointed out that annoucers are making mistakes by translating English terms literally into French. Their recent bulletin points out that what is caled India ink. in Anglo- Saxon countries is China ink in France. Similarly, a tablespoon should be translated into French as & soupspoon, and a teaspoon as a coffeespvon, OUEPTTIE & ( FORMERLY CAQUETTE Aw THOMPSON ) = if 4 v Th / mie Wi t4y'y) : ; WAY iti ly 11) tem THE USED-CAR SALESMAN QUEEN'S PARK Gentle Loosening Of Liquor Bonds By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--In the past year sale of liquor in Ontario has loosened up considerably. Permits have been done away with in the liquor stores, bar hours have been lengthened, ho- tels have been given room serv- ice, etc. But the government still is treading tenderly. This was clear when the . Hquor authorities were before the committee on commissions. A number of times the chair- man of the LCBO, Hon. Alan Grossman, replied to sugges- tions that if such and such a thing were done the public might think the Board was try- ing to push sales. Mr. Grossman was even hesi- tant about admitting that it ac- tually had a delivery service in the five main centers in the province. (You sign an order form in a store and then the LOBO deliv- ers for 35 cents a package or case.) ENIGMATIC JUDGE Judge Robb, chairman of the Liquor Licence Board, as usual was an enigma. You might call the judge a gift-wrapped enigma. He is smiling, courteous, soft- spoken, answers you freely, and almost invariably tells you next to nothing. The judge always has been very, very conscious of public Opinion. And he made it as clear as he ever makes anything that there isn't going to be any sub- stantial change in his attitude. AUTO CHECKS While talking about transport estimates the suggestion came up again of compulsory inspec- tion of motor vehicles, One day it's most likely we will see this. You will have to put your car through inspection at least. once a year and per- haps more. But we won't see it for a while yet. In reply to Ray Edwards, Liberal from Wentworth, Trans- port Minister James Auld said a compulsory check would be valuable. But it wouldn't be practical at present. The draw-back is a feeling that this check couldn't be trusted to private garage opera- tors. New York State has had a dismal record with private op- erators in its compulsory check. More than 700 of them were hauled up for falsifying docu- monte 'aa a in eenpnelye and unnecessary repair bills etc, When it is done it will have to be done by the government apparently. And it is' just too much to chew off at the moment. (For one thing it would cost more than $8,000,000.) READERS' VIEWS POLITICAL SIGNS Dear Sir: It would appear that the Osh- awa PUC belongs to the 'Don't do as I do, dq as I say' frater- nity, for, although they prohibit the defacing of their hydro poles ete., by political parties, they do permit said defacing on their buses. As a taxpayer, and therefore part owner of those buses, I strongly object to the use of our property for such a purpose. I have seen quite a bit of this world of ours, but never have I seen a public transportation system so used before. I would be obliged if you would bring this matter before your readers, --"ANOTHER SUBSIDY PAY- ER" Oshawa.

She is certainly taking a great deal of territory in with her ac- cusations Prime Minister Diefenbaker, Tommy Douglas, The Voice of Women, Canadian Peace Research Institute, Lady Eaton and others too numerous to mention. These people and or- ganizations certainly do not ad- vocate Communism, but at the Same time do. take a definite stand against nuclear arms and Tefuse to submit to Yankee im- perialism.

Hunger Week is being observed across Canada this week. It is' appropriate that attention in Ottawa has just been caught by a front - page story in the Kirkland Lake Norhern Daily News about hunger in logging camps in Northern Ontario. Canada, however, is one of the 48 donor nations interested in Freedom from Hunger Week. This five-year project is aimed at raising $20,000,000 to set up self - help projects in a like number of countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America--not to supply them with our food, but to teach them to produce more and more suitable food from their own resources. A typical and valuable con- tribution to this world - wide project is the raising of $125,- - 000 by the Canadian Junior Red Cross, to set up school gardens in the Sudan, where Sudanese children can grow vegetables, fruit and salads, MISERABLE LIVES Dr. H. L, Trueman, a senior official of the department of agriculture here, is the main- spring of this feed-the-hungry drive in Canada. His official title is secretary of the Cana- dian Freedom - from - Hunger- Week Committee. On his travels in Asia, he has seen at first hand what it means to be a citizen of a have- not country. Py : The average Asian worker has a diet amounting to 1500 caloris a day. This compares with our own average of 3,200 calories, and the British yard- stick that an active worker will lose weight on a diet of less than 2,500 calories a day. Fur- ther, the Asian diet like the African, is deficient in the foods which will build bones and strength. The Asiatic eats largely starch,.and this diet USE FLOATING BRAIN JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) A "floating brain' devised here for studying the ocean bed has aroused great interest among world scientists. The, "brain," a floating receiver, has stream- lined the ocean-crust probe by reducing manpower and allow- ing scientists to use one ship in- Stead of two when taking "shock-wave" readinsg at sea, GALLUP POLL inhibits growth and fails to supply the needed strengthening foods in the formative years between 2 and 6. As for the living conditions, Dr. Trueman tells me that he has sometimes had occasion to pass through a railway station or an airport at night, Around 3 a.m. the traveller has to pick his way carefully past workers dossed down on platforms or anywhere under covery These are men who have cOme in from the country in search of work, and have no home, no workers' camp, no Wunkhouse. The average yearly cash in- come of agricultural workers in India and Pakistan, says Dr. Trueman; is less than- the monthly cheque to a Canadian old age pensioner. CONTRAST IN DIET The story from Kirkland Lake YOUR HEALTH said that loggers had quit some camps in protest against "'rot- ten living conditions', They were asked to sleep on "pillow. less cots, with only worn un- washed grey blankets for cover"--which is .preferable to a bare hard platform. Some were fed on "ham and eggs three times a day'; for others, meals consisted of '"'beef and potatoes with bread and syrup" --both diets preferable to the Asian's bowl of rice. That logging-camp picture is not typical of this lush land. But the contrast shows how grateful we should be for what we take for granted. Dr, True- man believes that Ontario log- gers normally eat more food in one day than an entire Asian family see in a whole week. This Freedom from Hunger Week is the mid-point in a world-wide drive. Its aid in self. help offers long-term, improve- ments in nourishment for the "have not" countries, and this is preferable to the one-shot aid of food shipments. Canada's chief contribution, for which national and Jocal councils of women are collecting funds, will be the sensible one of a food processing plant in India, Lungs That Lose Their Elasticity By Joseph G. Molner, M.D. --Dear -Dr. Molmer: Will you tell me something about em- physema?--L.L. I'm sorry you missed earlier columns on this topic which is of increasing importance. At the last clinical session. of the American Medical Association a good deal of stress was placed on it. Emphysema is a_ loss _ of elasticity of the lungs. By this I don't mean that the lungs aren't large enough. Rather, they don't get small enough. Sounds like a paradox? It's not. Some people with emphy- sema develop over-sized chests, but they still' are short of breath. When you exhale, you expel a considerable volume of what we might call "used air." Then you inhale and replace it with an equal amount of fresh air. But when the elasticity of the lungs is lost, you no longer can exhale as much. And you can inhale only the amount you have exhaled. Too much "used air" remains in the lungs and there is less space for fresh. Smog and other forms of air Social Credit Leader Retains Steady Image By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) Public regard for Robert Thompson, leader of the Social- Credit Party has remained at a steady level since the last elec- tion. Almost half the voters (45%) report no change in their attitude towards him. Those who say they have a higher re- gard for him now (14%) are closely matched by those who say their opinion of him has gone down. (12%) Mr. Thompson has fared best in the West where his stature has increased among almost twice as many as report a low- ered regard. In Quebec, one- third of the voters are un- decided about him, and those in the "down" segment are larger than those in the "up". These facts are revealed in a study assessing public reaction to the four Federal leaders, in which Gallup Poll interviewers asked: "THINKING ABOUT ROB- ERT THOMPSON, LEADER OF THE SOCIAL-CREDIT PARTY, WOULD YOU SAY YOUR OPINION OF HIM HAS GONE UP OR DOWN IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS?" The national average of opinion is compared below with reactions from East to West. Gone CANADA cscccsccccdscccesece Maritimes and Quebec ...... Quebec alone -..ss.seecersseee Ontario .... The West .

It isn't a new disease, but this is a new cause of it. But what- ever the cause, you are starved for oxygen. The answers? Some people haven't been using their lungs adequately in the first place, and learning to breathe more deeply brings into use a larger portion of the available breath- ing space, Learning to stay within your limitations is another. Don't try to force yourself into exertion which uses up oxygen faster than you can replace it. An occasional whiff of oxygen is used by many patients, since air is only part oxygen, and much of it is inert nitrogen. And there are other methods which can:be employed, some of them much more compli- eated. But I trust that this will give you a working knowledge of what it is about. If I forgot to mention it, since the problem is a lack of enough fresh oxygen, it is obviously harmful to waste any of the available lung space by filling it with smoke instead of air, In a word, your doctor is going to say that the first rule is to give up smoking. He means it. --Dear Dr. Molner: I was in a bad automobile accident and ever since have had a buzzing and humming in my left ear which is so nerve-wracking I can't sleep. Some doctors say an operation will help and some say. it won't. Can you advise me?--M.K. Some things in medicine are very predictable and others are decidedly not, This is one of the latter. No, I cannot advise you except to suggest that since the trouble is that annoying, if it were my own case I'd give the operation a try, with the under- standing that it might. or might not succeed. .-Dear Dr. Molner: I am nearly 16 and have a problem with stuttering. I can't say a simple phrase like 'I'm going next door" without stuttering. There- fore I'm scared to death to give reports and speeches. My mother suggested reading out loud. Would that help? Please answer in your column as I have an oral book review to give in about a week anda half.--L.E, Your mother's suggestion sounds excellent, but I wouldn't expect to accomplish miracles in a week and a half. If you can see some progress, then keep at it. I think you'll find that confidence and faith in yourself will be the biggest part of success: You might consider a special speech training class.
