j | She Osharon Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1963--PAGE 6 Parliament Has C hance To Redeem Its Record The 26th Parliament is now under way, and we shall soon learn whether it is to put on the same sort of disgraceful exhibition as that staged by the 25th Parlia- ment or whether it will endeavor to give the country the progressive, vigorous government which is so badly needed. | 'The parliamentary conditions are much the same as they were after the 1962 election, The main differ- ence is that there is now a minority 'Liberal government instead of a minority Conservative government -- and that Canadians are even more fed up with petty politicking than they were a year ago. In his first speech of the session last October, Mr, Pearson, then Opposition leader, called for the overthrow of the Conservative gov- ernment, using as an argument the claim that 63 per cent of the voters inthe June election had voted no confidence in it. Well, Mr. Diefen- baker, now Opposition leader, could make the same claim, the same charge; 58.4 per cent of the voters in the recent general election did not support the Liberals. But Mr. Diefenbaker has said he will not use the tactics of obstruction em- ployed by the Liberals last fall -- and which helped to reduce the 25th Parliament to impotence. The country will not tolerate more obstructionism. If any party were to try it at this session, the reaction in the next election would be violent. Obstructionism would lead to another early election, and Canadians have had their fill of electioneering. What they want now' is government, not political bom- bast. As the Ottawa Journal has already noted, "the next few months in Parliament had best be devoted to business, to constructive debate. The new government may expect the opposition to be vigorous and able. If it is. to be a good govern- ment it will welcome that,not resent it." But by the same token, the opposition must help and not hinder the Pearson administration with the job of government, Spot Checks Of Cars The sick comedian, Lenny Bruce, has a strange affinity for trouble. A short time ago, Los Angeles police were looking for a taxi which had been involved in a robbery. One of the taxis they stopped and searched was carrying Mr. Bruce as a pas- senger. They found a capsule of heroin on the floor of the vehicle and arrested Mr. Bruce. When the case was heard in court, the comedian's lawyer argued that his client's constitutional rights had been violated by unlawful search, and therefore the charge should be dismissed. The judge agreed; the police search, he said, was illegal, The judge obviously would not agree with the spot-check methods of police in Ontario, who periodi- cally -- during the Christmas period especially -- set up road blocks to inspect vehicles and check drivers for registration, consumption of alcohol and so on. And some On- tario newspapers, which have been critical of the spot checks, are using the decision in the Bruce case to bolster their argument that the police methods are a gross viola- tion of the individual citizen's rights. The police, they claim, have no more right to halt vehicles, with- out due cause, than they have to make arbitrary searches of private homes. What the critics seem to over- look is the difference between a house and a vehicle. The citizen has a right to a home, but he does not have a right to a vehicle, the hand- ling of which is a privilege, licenced by government and governed by law. A house does not become a deadly weapon in the hands of a drunk. The effective principle is the "law of the greater good." In a free country, we voluntarily place limits on our freedom for the greater good. If we refuse to accept the necessity of trying to prevent -traffic accidents before they happen, then we must be prepared to accept a constant and terrifying increase in the traffic toll. Put-And-Take Fishing Many a thoughtful angler must be wondering these days if the On- tario Department of Lands and Forests is committing itself to a policy of put-and-take fishing, at least where trout are concerned. Put-and-take is the system fol- lowed. in many states of the U.S., where population and pollution have combined to put an_ intolerable strain on fishing water; the state puts in the fish, the anglers take them out. There is not much sport to it, but the fishermen seem t¢é accept it for want of something better, and at least it indicates that they are getting something in return for their taxes and licences. This system is already being followed in two or three lakes in Algonquin Park. And if early season openings and ice-fishing for trout continue, it could become fairly general south of the French River- She Oshawa Times T. L, WILSON, Publisher Cc.

Brook and brown trout, which are fall spawners, may not be greatly af- fected -- there is no evidence yet on which to form even a guess, let alone a conclusion, But the rainbow trout could be serously affected, because they are spring spawners. "One of the best rainbow trout areas in the province is in the vicinity of Owen Sound. Here is a comment from the Owen Sound Sun, Times: "The season on rainbow trout opened far too soon this year... Many, many trout that were caught had not yet started to spawn. They were thick in the Leith River. More than one con- servation - minded fisherman was heard to comment: 'They slaugh-° tered the rainbow.' ...In another two weeks the spawning run would have been completed." If there is, to be a put-and-take system in the southern part of the province, the Department will have to give thought to the availability of the water to be restocked. There are good rainbow streams in this part of the province, but they are posted along most of their length. If public money is spent on restocking, public access to the streams must be assured, Bible Thought Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwel- leth in him and he in God. -- IL. John 4:15, Jesus Christ has become the key to 'fellowship between the human and the divine REPORT FROM U.K. New Car Factory Right On Target By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times RENFREW, Scotland -- A great manufacturing project which has transformed over 200 acres of Scottish farmland into a hive of industry has just gone into production, In two years, there has grown up on this site one of Europe's most advanced car plants, And when the new plant is operating at full capacity, it will provide work for 5,000 men in one of the black unemployment areas of the south of Scotland. All of this has become a real- ity with the start of production at the Rootes group factory at Linwood, in Renfrewshire, where the new Hillman Imp car is now rolling off the assembly lines. Work first started on the site of 278 acres, part of which is reserved for future develop- ment, in the relatively un- develéped area of Linwood, 14 miles from Glasgow, in May, 1961, In the two years since then, a ceaseless drive has been maintained to create the mass- ive and complex organization required for the volume produc- tion of a modern family car and to meet the target of the spring of 1963 for the public announce- ment of the Hillman Imp. That target has been met. The project has involved the construction of four main pro- duction blocks which, including the extension to. the Pressed Steel Company's adjacent fac- tory where the Imp bodies are built, cover over one million square feet. Then came _ the planning and application of high efficiency production tech- niques, the selection and instal- lation of hundreds of the most modern. machines in Europe, and the recruitment and train- ing of an entirely new labor force, drawn from the ranks of the unemployed of the Glasgow district, Keeping pace with this work has been the construction of new roads, new railway and dock installations, new housing and the provision of power, water, gas and other essential Supplies on a very large scale. This project has transformed the little village of Linwood into the nucleus of a new town, By the end of this year 1,800 homes GALLUP POLL will have been built for em- ployees of the plant. Long-term plans include the construction of four additional schools, two more churches, two shopping centres, cinemas and a new luxury hotel near the factory. Formally opened by the Duke of Edinburgh, the plant has been designed for the production of YOUR HEALTH 150,000 units a year, and throughout the summer the re- cruitment and training of em- ployees and a rapid increase in output will continue in order to reach this target. Eventually, a total of 5,000 people will be engaged in Imp production at Linwood and near- ly half that number are already at work, The site has been plan- ned so that the present build- ings can be expanded to double their present size, with a con- sequent increase in~ employ- ment, in future years. This can be regarded as a typical example of co-operation between industry and the gov- ernment to bring large scale employment to one of the de- pressed areas, Decision On Drug Is Psychiatrist's By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What is your opinion of administering pills to an active six-year-old? My first-grader is hyperactive and of normal intelligence, but he has difficulty settling down in class, A school psychiatrist prescribed a stimulant that somehow centers his activity in the right place at the right time. I have given them to him for three months. 'The objective was to set a behavior pattern, and his school work is greatly improved, Now I wish to stop but his teacher is against it. This worries me. He has lost weight, his appetite is poor, he complains of headache and nausea, and his sleep is rest- less. The teacher says Iam silly to worry, and that if nec- essary my son could continue the medication for a yéar or two without ill effects. What do you think? The drug is dexe- drine.--G.M, It may sound wrong to give a stimulant to a child who is hyperactive--unable to sit still, and always has to be doing something. However, this is exactly what is being done. The treatment has been used by child psychi- atrists for some years now, It works, I can't explain how and IT am not embarrassed to admit i t. What it does, however, is to channel or organize the young- ster's energies into useful ac- 'tivity, instead of letting him Labor Takes Hefty Lead Over U.K. Conservatives (World Copyright Reserved) With prospects of an election in the United Kingdom this year, the British Gallup Poll has released a comprehensive survey of political attitudes in that country, In popular vote, Labor leads by 15 per cent over the Con- servatives at this time, Labor is 43 per cent; Conservatives 2 per cent; Liberals 12 per cent; don't know 17 per cent. Three out of every five voters say the time has come for Prime Minister Harold Mac- millan to retire, while 15 per cent claim Edward: Heath should be his. heir apparent. Prior to his role as chief negoti- ator for Britiain in the Com- mon Market discussions, Mr, Heath was given only an out- side chance (5 per cent) as leader of the Conservative Party. R. A. Butler led all other Ministers as potential leader with 18 per cent, Today he is second to Mr. per cent, The feeling that new blood is needed at the head of the Con- servative Party is reinforced by the fact that a younger man has taken over the Labor lead- ership. Harold Wilson is 46 years old; Mr. Macmillan 69, Nearly one in two -- 47 per cent -- thinks: that Labor gains by this difference in ages, Mr. Wilson's stock is high in Britain at the present time with 75 per cent of the people be- lieving he will be a good lead- er of the Labor Party. This pop- ularity goes some way to ex- plain why Labor should enjoy the largest lead it has ever had over the Conservatives. The majority of the British voters, 51 per cent, are content to leave the nationalization situ- ation alone. Even amongst Labor voters, those who would leave nationalization alone (46 per cent) outnumber those who advocate further nationalization -- 39 per cent Heath with 14 squander them by buzzing in all directions and jittering. It is entirely true that chil- dren remain on these medica- tions for a year or two, and sometimes for considerably longer periods without harm, However, I do not think that you, the teacher, or I should make this decision, The psychi- atrist should: If he follows the case along all right. If he can- not do so, another psychiatrist should, or at all events a physi- cian. Medication should not be given and then forgotten. They do not act entirely alike in all individuals. Watching for any unwanted effects is a vital part of what we mean when we say drugs should be used. "under supervision." It is important to see whether the lad's symptoms (loss of weight, appetite, rest and com- fort) are caused by the medic- ation. If so, perhaps the dose or drugs should be changed. There are entirely different ones used for the same essential pur- pose, One of the psychic ener- gizers might be better and cause less trouble, Don't argue with the teacher, Talk with the psyhiatrist and see whether he is prepared to follow through, or whether some other doctor should supervise. This approach has helped the boy. Perhaps the general pro- gram should be continued, but not at the cost of making him physically upset. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 17, 1963... Edward Jenner, the Eng- lish physician who origin- ated vaccination, was born 214 years ago todsy--in 1749 --at Berkeley, Gloucester- shire. Although he never passed a medical examina- tion--which was not compul- sory at that time--his: life work was to lead to protec- tion from the scourge of smallpox. His work started from the belief of the people of Gloucestershire that a person who had had cow pox was immnue from smallpox. By 1800 vaccination of cow pox into humans was being practised throughout Eng- land, 1939--King George VI and Queen Elizabeth arrived at Quebec.

Four Seasons Travel 24-Hour Service -- 728-6201 OTTAWA REPORT sunitee Pearson Inspires New Atlantic Hope By PATRICK NICHOLSON LONDON,. England -- What changes lie ahead for Canada, in our trade and defence poli- cies especially? The specific short-term pro- posals will be laid before the opening sitting of the 26th Par- liament in the speech from the throne, But the more significant long- term intentions of the new Pear- son RE gorge are. being sen here as a result of the talks between top British cab- inet ministers and the visiting Canadian prime minister ear- lier this month. The past record makes cer- tain possible trends easily pre- dictable. Fourteen years ago, Mike Pearson, then the civil servant holding the position of under-secretary of state for ex- ternal affairs, saw his own brainchild come to fruition as the North Atlantic Treaty, And within that treaty was en- shrined his pet theory: that a military alliance will not en- dure in peacetime unless it is €xtended into the economic, pol- itncal, social and other non-mil- itary fields, Thus was born the concept of the 'Atlantic Com- munity": a concept accepted by all the nations which adhered to that North Atlantic 'Treaty. ECHO FROM BRITAIN But the ideas- so near and dear to the present prime min- ister of Canada have been ad- vocated in the cloak of differ- ent words by the present prime minister of Britain, The Right Hon. Harold Macmillan has re- peatedly stressed the need to recognize and achieve '"'interde- pendence" between the West- ern allies and their close friends, Thus the ground was set for a meeting of minds between the new Pearson government and the Macmillan government of Britain, And such a meeting of minds is exactly the nebulous and in- definite but greatly promising outcome which was apparently achieved when Prime Minister Pearson held talks with Prime Minister Macmillan and _ his more important cabinet col- leagues during his recent visit here. Thus the conferees quickly recognized a similarity between their concepts of the desired in- terdependence and even unity of the free world. The British wel- comed Mr, Pearson's hope to "initiate a process of close con- sultation which will continue over the months ahead." And this island nation which must export or die was excited by Mr, Pearson's blunt promise that the imbalance of trade be- tween the two countries could be. solved by the sale of more British is in Canada, This is expected to lead to an intensive attempt by British exporters to sell to Canada what we now buy from other countries, Mr, Pearson even caught up and excelled Mr, Macmillan's os - cherished trade, urging Britain to think, not in terms of joining the Eu- ropean Common Market of free trade, but of a general lower- ing of tariffs between all NATO and Commonwealth and other free world nations. CANADA--ATLANTIC HOPE The urge to unite politically under the Common Market ban- ner is dead in Europe, it is be- lieved here, The President Ken- nedy blueprint for a-Europe- U.S. partnership under Opera- QUEEN'S PARK patente i TR, tive Dumbell has failed to en- chant even the U.S. But the rec- ognition of the urgency and ad- vantages of closer bonds be- tween the tottering NATO com- ponents and their friends is keener everywhere, So Mr. Pearson's elevation to power as Prime Minister of Canada has sparked a vivid reaction around NATO, In Gere - wer ant 'rite, ey ay an in, the U.S., and of ae e ada, Mike the parent of the lantie concept is now seen Rivers of words have flowed through conference halls across banquet lip service to the drea 4 ago, it has failed to grow be- yond its original military fore mat--except in Canadian- inspired creation of the annual conference of NATO parliamen- tarians. f Will that avalanche of words now solidify into the solid con- crete of foundations upon which Atlantic prosperity and security will be built? This is the change lying ahead for Canada, and for all NATO, in the belief and hope : ey prominent British poli- clans, Ministers Suffer Publicity Hunger By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- A new edict on publicity has been handed down by this publicity conscious gov- ernment. In future the names of dep- uty ministers are not to appear on booklets, signs etc. publiciz- ing the department's work. Only the names of ministers are to appear. Which brings the logical ques- tion, why any names at all? Why when a new highway is being built should it bear a sign saying it is being built under contract of the department ot highways, Hon, C, 8. McNaugh- ton minister? What genuine purpose does this serve? It serves to publicize the min- ister. But in what way, or any way, does it forward the inter- est of the public or the com- munity?

" It would show that it had some quality of statesmanship. And naturally one thinks less of a government which over-in- duiges in it, as this one does. (This government generally has been greedy for publicity, For instance, it started the practice of labelling highway construction signs.) STRONG OPPOSITION? The strength of our system depends on balance -- on a strong government confronted by a strong opposition -- and on the strains and checks this provides, Experience has long shown that lop-sided parliaments do not produce good government, So far as good government is concerned, in fact, the observer can never be sure if perhaps a strong opposition isn't even more important than a strong government, A_ strong opposition can force good government, ; But a. top-heavy government can be fat and lazy--and sloppy. (The most forward govern - ment Ontario has had in the past decade has been in the past year. And it is noteworthy that this dates back to just about the time that the opposi- tion started breathing down the governmen"s neck.) Publicity is a powerful instru- ment. And in our political struc. ture the means for it are prac. tically all in the government's hands. It makes the news, and it has the resources to see that the news gets out. And if it wants to it can use its position for great personal publicity. It Is perhaps a vain hope, but this idealist would like to see a government which could resist, the temptation of personal gain for the longterm good. A. E.
