She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 1963 -- PAGE 6 People Expect Parties | To Forget Petty Tricks It is possible but not probable that the service vote and recounts . will give Liberal leader Lester Pearson a bare majority of seats in the 26th Parliament. The expec- tation must be, however, that he will lack a majority and that there will be another minority government. But this time, minority government must be made to work. The Canadian people will not tolerate another such display of gross ambition, petty obstruction- ism and deliberate indecision as that put on by the groups who made up the 25th Parliament. Nor will they be kind to a party or coalition that might try to force another early election. The most potent appeal of the Liberals during the campaign was for support for stable government. It clearly had a strong appeal east- ward from the Manitoba-Ontario border, particularly among urban voters, and probably had an influ- énce in British Columbia. But even those who thought that some other party could offer such government, or voted against the Liberals for some other reasons, will now, we believe, expect the elected represen- tatives to settle down as soon as possible to the pressing task of look ing after the nation's business. The 25th Parliament accomplish- ed little, and there is a huge backlog of work awaiting the 26th Parlia- ment. There is, for example, the matter of a budget, and it is im- perative that this be attended to well before the vacation period be- gins. This means that the new Par- liament should begin sitting at the earliest possible date, It means, too, that parties must forget about the jockeying that helped to wreck the late unlamented House, and must put the national interest first. This does not mean that the opposition must be apath- etic or servile. Indeed, it must be the reverse -- vigorous and critical, but critical in a constructive way. If it is, the 26th Parliament could be one of the best, just as the 25th was one of the worst. Leadership Questions ' One of the post-election ques- tions inevitably will be: What about the party leaderships, in the light of the new political situation created by Monday's vote? Many observers seem to think that the Conservatives will now re- place Mr. Diefenbaker, extending he palace revolt of last January. It is true that the party has a habit of dealing harshly with unsuccess- ful leaders -- although Borden lost three elections before he won one, But Mr. Diefenbaker may be in a firmer position now than he was last January. While it is true that the main architect of the "Tory West" is Alvin Hamilton, the agriculture minister, Mr. Diefenbaker also has won widespread loyalty and affec- tion in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. And nearly half of all the seats won by Conservatives on Mon- day are in those three provinces. Also to be considered is the fact that Mr. Diefenbaker -- whatever one might think of what he said and did -- put on a virtuoso political performance during the campaign. At its start, there were ominous predictions of a Conservative col- lapse; by the time the election was a week away, the Liberals were clearly worried; the Conservative leader had postured and orated effectively enough to make him a threat, and his campaigning un- doubtedly was a major reason why the Conservatives did not lose more seats than they did. There may be some reservations, then, about a change in the Con- servative leadership. Douglas Hark- ness has already called for a leader- ship convention, and he will prob- ably get support from some east- ern Tories. But if Alvin Hamilton does not harbor leadership am- bitions himself, and remains as a loyal Diefenbaker ally and sup- porter, the convention drive could fizzle. Danger Of Red Tape There are many pitfalls in the way of the legislators working out a medicare program for Ontario. Not the least is the snare of red tape. In any program of this sort, there is always the danger of the people in charge of its administra- tion acquiring the attitude that ad- ministration itself is the be all and end-all. The Ontario legislators have the opportunity to study other medicare programs. This is not a pilot project. The errors of. others are clear enough to indicate what must be avoided here. Sir Arthur Porritt president of Britain's Royal College of Surgeons, spoke the other day to a three-day conference called to discuss current problems of Britain's 15-year old, state-run health service: "Either this magnificent profession of Brit- ish medicine and its equally magni- ficent machinery, the National Health Service, will die a natural She Oshawa Times T..

The weakness, Sir Arthur made clear, lies in the inherent shortcomings of bureaucracy. Britain, he said, has an admirable civil service, but it had proved "extraordinarily difficult to gear civil service employees to a humanitarian and_ individualistic profession such as medicine." Indicating the extent of the red tape tangle that has been created in Britain is the complaint of doc- tors that they receive an average of three directives a week from the National Health Service. These di- rectives inform doctors of changes in the rules. In France, the paper snarl achieved monumental dimensions with a seven-month doctors' strike in 1960. France introduced compul- sory health insurance, for low wage earners only, in 1930, but incor- porated medical care in the gen- eral social security program in 1946. Three years ago, when the govern- ment tried to impose a tightly regu- lated fee schedule, doctors continued to see patients but for a a seven- month period refused to fill out any of the required forms. Government concessions ended the strike but the snarl of red tape has not yet been unravelled. In West Germany, where Bis- marck started medicare in 1883, it is now compulsory for wage earn- ers up to a certain income and covers about 85 per cent of the population. Even with more doctors and hospital beds per capita than any other major country, the pro- gram is overwhelmed by paper work. ir tees fn, e EASY - THAT THING IS SENSITIVE REPORT FROM U.K. | Fortune Reduced By Death Duties By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The story of how @ great commercial fortune can be cut down to a comparatively insignificant sum by death duties is to be found im the re- port of the trustees of the estate of Miss Gladys Yule, for years considered the rich- est woman in England. When she died in 1957, she left a fortune of $12 million dol- YOUR HEALTH lars. She bequeathed her estate to the care of trustees, and after the payment of some personal bequests, she directed that the residue of her estate was to be divided among chari- ties to be chosen by the trus- tees. After five years of wrangling with the treasury over the death duties to be paid on the estate, a division of the residue has now been announced, All that is left of the $12 million to go to Circulation Slows As Years Advance By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Moiner: I am and apparently in good health, but my ears, nose and the top of my head get cold. How can I improve circulation?--A.L. Circulation isn't the whole story. Some other things can be involved, too. Yes, our circulation si0ws down as we grow older. We wear sweaters more often and sit closer to the fire. A certain amount of hardening of the arteries reduces the flow of blood. You've doubtless noticed that many older people look some- what paler. They don't necess- arily have anemia; they just don't have the same amount of blood circulating close to the surface of the skin. In addition to whatever changes may have happened to the arteries, the total metabol- ism of the body is reduced. Less physical activity and slower movements also let the circulation slow down. Quite another cause of feeling cold is a thyroid gland that is not functioning at its proper pace. People with that trouble are intolerant to cold and lay the blame on poor circulation when, in fact, some of their discomfort would be relieved by proper medication to increase thyroid secretions. One more cause is heavy smoking, which -constricts the blood vessels, particularly the smaller ones close to the sur- face or in the extremities. Reduction in smoking some- times brings marked improve- ment. If the trouble is mostly in the feet and legs, Buerger's exer- cises help. This is really a very simple process. Lie down on your back. Raise one leg for a few seconds. Lower, then do it with the other leg. What this amounts to, mostly, is letting gravity help the blood flow, first in one direction, then the other. HISTORY TODAY IN By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 11, 1963... The treaty of Utrecht was signed 250 years ago today --in 1713 -- under which France relinquished her rights in Hudson's Bay Company territories, Aca- dia and Newfoundland to Great Britain. The treaty also formally ceded to Brit- ain the strategic naval strongpoint of Gibraltar at the entrance to the Medi- terranean. 1768--A third of Montreal was destroyed by fire. 1884--The Amateur Ath- letic Union of Canada was formed. But the exercise itself is bene- cial, too. When we were young, we were, most of us, normal types that could stand the cold be- cause our circulation and me- tabolism were vigorous. Since then we've individually made the discovery that people dé get older. We slow down. And the best way to combat the cold is to conserve our body heat. So bundle up more. Wear socks and take advantage of night caps (the kind you wear on your head, not the kind you pour), Warm the bed with a hot water bottle before climb- ing in. Wear a hat or a woolly cap outdoors. Use an electric blanket. We can't stay young forever, but if we use our good sense and moderate ingenuity, we can stay warm and comfort- able, Dear Dr, Molner: Is there a cure for rheumatic fever?--L.S. Yes. It depends mainly on adequate rest, and the use of salicylates (aspirin-type drugs) or steroids, as cortisone. True, {ff rheumatic fever attacks are not properly treated and dam- age to the heart results, it may not be corrected afterward, short of surgery. But rheumatic fever can be conquered if we do a good job of treatment early every time a case is detected. Likewise it is now possible (and certainly advis- able) to. have 'treatment once a month after an attack, to prevent recurrence. charities is about $750,000. The government has taken over $10 million in death duties, or suc- cession duties, as they are known in Canada. SECOND BIG BITE Miss Gladys Yule was the daughter and heiress of Sir David Yule, an East Indian merchant who became a man of great wealth through t he great commercial empire which he built up in India during its colonial days. When he died, he left to his daughter an estate of around $30 million, but the government stepped in with its death duties schedules, and took more than half of it. When Miss Yule died, only $12 million were left of the $30 million she inherited. Now that fortune of $30 million has dwindled down to about $1,800,- 000. Practically all the rest of it has gone into the treasury in death duties, and, in this par- ticular case, charity is the loser. ALLOCATIONS MADE Although Miss Yule died in 1957, and her affairs have kept the family solicitors and the Tevenue officers busy since then, it will not be months be- fore a final computation is made, but years. The Indian government has still to make up its mind about how much of the Yule family's eastern interests should be subject to its taxation. It has been definitely estab- lished, however, that the resi- due to go to charities will not exceed $750,000. Two charities which were specifically named in Miss Yule's will, the Dr. Bernardo's Homes and the Animal Health Trust, are\each to receive $180,000. A quarter of the residue was ear-marked for charities for the blind and deaf. Those chosen by the trustees are the London Association of the Blind, which receives $120,000, the Guide Dogs for the Blind and the National Deaf Children's Society, which each receive about $60,000. In the general field, each re- ceiving $60,000 are the Brook Hospital for Horses in Cairo and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. The Hart- fordshire parish in which the family lived, Frogmore, will receive about $90,000 to be ad- ministered by church authori- ties for the benefit of the par- ish, Similar sums are to go to the Royal Midland Counties Home for Incurables at Leam- ington Spa, of which Miss Yule was a patron, and the new Brit- ish Heart Foundation. These gifts will be warmly welcomed by the recipient char- ities, but there are bound to be heart - burning over what the bequest might have been had not 90 per cent of the wealth of Sir David Yule passed to the treasury in succession duties. BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO The Ontario Regiment, com- manded by Lt.-Col. R. B. Smith, began its spring training. Fifty single unemployed men were given employment at the federal government's airport project at Trenton. Morley R, Jacobi was elected president and Jack Rupert, sec- retary, of the Oshawa Junior Lacrosse Club. The city auditors' report caused concern at the steady in- crease in tax arrears over the last few years. City council planned to secure a city nursery of 20,000 trees from the Provincial Department of Forestry for future civic beautification. A, L. Bouckley, president of the Horticultural Society, A. C. Cameron and John Sargent were in charge of the project. Lt.Col. F. J. Picking, past provincial president of the Ca- nadian Legion, was guest speak- er at the annual Vimy Banquet of the Oshawa branch. The closing of Albert street during the construction of the new CNR subway brought fur- ther claims for property dam- ages against the city. Three men on relief who re- fused to accept work at Trenton were arrested and remanded to jail for one week. Members of the Regina hockey team were guests of General Motors while on a visit to Oshawa. The spring . like weather brought about a burst of activ- ities on the part of local golfers: at the Downsview Course. Twenty-six candidates were confirmed at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church. Rt. Rev. J. R, Lucas DD was the officiating Bishop. Mrs. E, V. Lander was re- elected president of the Women's Welfare League at its annual meeting. The organiza- tion made an appeal for vacant land to be used as vegetable gardens by over 600 unemploy- ed heads of families. OTTAWA REPORT Famous Regiment Honored In States By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Our veterans of the First World War will be interested to hear how their comrades of the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada have been honored by the Congress of the United States. Congressman James A. Burke of Massachusetts described at length the gallantry and. the untarnished record of the Black Watch since it was first raised in Scotland in 1725, The regi- met's history in Canada dates from the French and Indian wars, and this is recorded by the words "North America" among the battle honors em- blazoned upon its regimental colors. The Canadian regiment of the Black Watch has an inter- esting association with U.S. soldiers dating from the First World War. RECRUITS FROM U.S.A. This is how Hon. James Burke described it in the Con- gress: "During World War I, per. mission was granted by the United States for Lieutenant Colonel Percy Guthrie to come from Canada, and recruit men from the Greater Boston area for the 236th Battalion, known as the MacLean Kilties of America. "Many of those Americans who served in the MacLean Kilties were transferred into the Black Watch upon their arrival overseas." To honor those Americans who served in the MacLean Kilties, a special parade is to be held on Memorial Day, May 30, of this year, at Quincy, Massachusetts, And to mark Canada's close association, and especially the link of the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regi- ment) of Canada, with the Mac. Lean Kilties, an invitation has been sent to and accepted by the Canadian regiment. A marching detachment and band of the 3rd battalion is to travel to Quincy, and will take an honored place in the com- memorative services. Congressman Burke told the U.S. house of representatives QUEEN'S PARK . that, "due to the large popula- tion of Canadians residing in the Boston area, a large turnout can be expected." On the eve of Memorial Day, a military ball will be held at the Armory of the Massachu- setts National Guard, at Quincy. President John F; Ken- nedy, Governor Endicott Pea- body of Massachusetts, Canadian Consul General S. D. Hemsley, Commander James Fraser of the Royal Canadian Legion, and-other officials have been invited as guests to the military ball, CLOSE MILITARY TIES Evidence of the continuing link between the two military units was the presence in Mont- real of two U.S. representa- tives, when the Queen Mother Italian Reds colors to the 3rd Black Watch (R.HLR.) last June 8, Similar associations are alive by visits back and forth across "the longest undefended frontier in the bin i notably Promote Bases As Ballot Issue By JOHN EARLE ROME (Reuters)--The Com- munists, second-strongest party in Italy, are attacking the coun- try's centre-left government on the issue of nuclear missile bases in their campaign for votes in the April 28 general election, But all indications during the early stages of the campaign at least are that Premier Amin- tore Fanfani and his supporters will successfully prevent this from becoming a major election issue. Fanfani's Christian Demo. crats polled 12,500,000 votes in the 1958 election and the Com- munists 6,700,000 -- the largest Communist vote in Western Eu- rope, Italy has more than 34,- 000,000 voters. WEAK START The Communists, in the view of foreign observers, started the present campaign from a weak position. It had already been an- nounced that the United States medium-range Jupiter missile bases in Apulia in the heel of Robarts Improves Stretch Position By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The house when it resumes after Easter: will) be. oing into the stretch run of h the session and the pre- election campaign, And entering the stretch Premier. Robarts has a very definite edge. In the last two weeks before adjournment he came rushing up from the rear. During the first months of the session the house lagged and the government looked weak. But then there was an almost startling change. Legislation flooded in and new, quite bold, step--such as the minimum wage legislation-- were taken. y This timing could have been, and probably was, planned on the part of Mr. Robarts. Whether it was or not it was highly effective. OPPOSITION SIT? The tempo probably will in- crease in the final stage. And if it does the opposition should be left behind. For the way this government was moving there is not much an opposition can do but sit and take it. This doesn't necessarily mean, of course, that the gov- ernment will be going into the next election an automatic win- ner or even with a good head start. When this session started there were many factors which were against the government in an election. It had lost byelections, its political organization obviously Office so long that the public image was not good, FACTORS REMAIN These factors still are there, to at least some degree, Along with them there has been a decided improvement in the position of both opposition parties in the last year. The combination may be so overwhelming that the govern- ment can't overcome it. But at least it has been show- ing very strong power in the house. And if it can translate this to the election ground it will be a much more powerful force than it was just a short while ago and should go imto the campaign at least as the party to beat. cruising in the Mediterranean. The goverment was able to argue that Italy was getting rid of its missile bases while re. maining protected. But then, observers said, the U.S. deputy defence secretary, Roswell Gilpatric, inadvertently helped the Communists. Returning from a visit to Rome in mid-February, he said the U.S. might request a base near Augusta, Sicily, for Polaris submarines as an alternative to a base in Spain. PICK UP TEAM | The Communists took up the attack with renewed vigor. They have been pressing their criticisms in the press and dur- ing the time allowed to them-- as to all parties -- for elec. tioneering on the state-owned television network. But the Christian Democrats and their coalition allies, the So- cial Democrats and Republi- cans, remained firm. Fanfani and other govern- ment leaders maintained the U.S. Government had not made any request for Polaris sub- marine bases in Italy, and there had been no discussion of the matter. The government's official po- sition on the nuclear issue in general could be summed up this way: Italy is a loyal member of the NATO alliance and undertakes to study seriously any proposal fr jes. for better de- me i ms t ington's intention to assign three Polaris submarines to the Mediterranean, and the idea of NATO forming its own multi- lateral nuclear force; But the present goverment is only in office until April 28, and cannot make any commitments for after that, BORE GOOD NEWS WESTRAY, Orkney Islands (CP) -- Crofter John Patersua found a bottle on the shore of this lonely island--and won a week's free holiday in Norway.
