: She Oshawa Tunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1963---PAGE 6 Throne Speech Reflects 'Liberal Election Talk If there were no surprises in the legislative program of the Pearson government as outlined in the Throne Speech, it was because the Speech amoutted to a listing of the high-priority election campaign pro- mises made by Mr. Pearson and his 'colleagues. The test of the promises, 'however, is not what is said in the Throne Speech but what is done in Parliament. It will be recalled that the Diefenbaker government last fall listed substantial legislative program, but little ever came of it. The parliamentary atmosphere 'should be far different for Mr. 'Pearson than it was for Mr. Diefen- 'Baker, however. The former was "then Opposition leader, and his "Liberals were hungry for another *Blection because they thought there "Was a Liberal tide running. They "Bot their election,~but the tide was "Pot as strong as they thought it "yas; the best they could manage "Was a return to office as a minority "government. No doubt Mr. Diefen- baker is just as hungry as Mr. Pearson was last fall, but there is no evidence of a Conservative ripple, let alone a tide; and the country is weary. of general: elections. Mr. Diefenbaker will attack the Liberal program, but it is highly unlikely that he will try to bring down the government, at least not for a while. Mr. Pearson, then, should be able to put his legislative program before the House without undue delay. The program is largely economic, and this is as it should be. The great problems which face Canada are economic -- unemployment, balance of payments, trade. Of particular interest to the people of Ontario is the plan to establish a national contributory pension plan, operative "as soon as possible." Details of the proposal have not been given, but it will, in one way or another, affect the portable pension legislation of the Robarts government. It could even supplant the Ontario scheme. =Forecasts Still Faulty ~~ Astronaut Gordon Cooper has "joined the select band of intrepid men who have rocketed into space, "whirled about the earth at fantastic "speed and returned to enlarge the "body of human knowledge. One can "wonder at the courage of the man "himself and at the tremendous Sacientific and technological effort ~that made his feat possible. But "one can also wonder about the pur- ~pose of it all. ~ The Cooper flight was another step in the U.S. program aimed at a manned flight to the moon. Many responsible U.S. scientists have 'questioned the worth of this effort "from the start, and now, as the cost dncreases enormously, doubts about "its value are even being expressed dn the U.S. Congress. The moon can "be explored by unmanned space- craft at much lower cost. What scientists, and now Con- gressmen, point out is that some of the urgent problems here on earth might be solved if the same sort of effort, in brain, money and skill, as is now put into Project Mercury were directed at them. The world, for example, desperately needs a cheap way to obtain fresh water from salt water; if it were dis- covered, deserts would bloom and great cities would not be in danger of dying. The benefits from more accurate weather forecasting would be incal- culable. Yet on the day that Astro- naut Cooper was to be hurled into space, the people of southern On- tario;\-- and goodness knows how many people elsewhere -- had a sharp reminder of the uncertainties of forecasting weather even a few hours ahead. At seven o'clock in the morning, the forecast was for sun- ny, warm weather; four hours later, and only after the weather had al- ready shown signs of being cool, cloudy and damp, the forecast was changed. The change had, in fact, taken place. Satellites can improve weather forecasting. No one claims that a man on the moon will do as much. Canada 'Hot' Country » Nobody's likely to give the Ra- diation Protection Division of the federal health department a medal for its belated testing of caribou "bone for radioactivity, the Van- ~couver Sun asserts. It's been months "gince Dr. William 0. Pruitt, a U.S. "biologist attached to the University ~Of Alaska, declared with some ur- ~ogency that the great herds of the ~far north were hot. The Sun con- ~tinues: Dr. Pruitt told a disturbing story. "Northern carnivores, including, to a selarge extent still, northern man, "feed on the caribou. The caribou ~feed on lichens and sedges. Lichens, "aparticularly, receiving as they do their nutrition from particles in the "air, feed on fallout, and now are "heavily contaminated. == Therefore, said Dr. Pruitt, an im- "portant food chain in a great area "of the world's surface is being con- ""taminated beyond the limit of "safety, and all links are threatened "by bone cancer, leukemia and anere genetic weaknesses.

The caribou bones collected by the Canadian Wildlife Service and tested by the Radiation Protection Division haven't been fully analysed yet. The division apparently dis- counts any hazard to humans from eating caribou but wants to make absolutely sure. : Canadians as a whole want to be absolutely sure, too. Dr. Ursula M. Franklin, physicist at the University of Toronto, and source of a recent magazine article on Canada's inade- quate fallout data, says we now are the hottest country in the world, and our worst year for fallout is coming up. If Canadians become sufficiently aware of the radio- active elements being deposited within their bodies, the almost casual resumption of major bomb testing will seem much less aca- demic. Bible Thought Come and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn and he will heal us; He hath smitten and he will bind us up. -- Hosea 6:1.

OTTAWA REPORT Hints For Canada In New Car Plant By PATRICK NICHOLSON LONDON, England: The re- cent opening of a new automo- bile factory near Glasgow, Scotland, suggests steps which would also help Canada. When a group of top busi- nessmen and other community leaders gathered for the official unveiling of the new "Imp" mini-car, marking the opening of the new factory of Rootes Motors Ltd at Linwood, the prosperity of Britain was given four powerful boosts. First, the new factory will bring 5,000 new jobs and a whole new community to Scot- Jand, which currently suffers double the unemployment rate recorded in England. Second, this factory was lo- cated in an undeveloped area, rather than in prosperous but overcrowded south - east Eng- land, at the direction of the gov- ernment. Third, the novel "Imp" car, offers tomorrow's design at yes- terday's price; this coupled with its minimum-service pro- visions is bringing easier mo- toring to Britons. YOUR HEALTH And fourth, when the "Imp" rolls off the production lines at the planned rate of 3,000 cars a week, it will earn dollars and other foreign currencies for Britain in world markets in competition with other mini- cars also with rear-mounted engines such as up to now have been the monopoly of Ger- many, France and Italy chiefly. These are four promising as- pects of this industrial occa- sion. And the opening of this mew automobile factory in a remote Scottish village was rec- ognized for what it is, attract- ing a stellar guest list. "You certainly get around," quipped Prince Philip to Cana- dian newspaper owner Roy Thomson at the ceremony. "I might say the same about you," chuckled Roy Thomson, re- cently returned from Moscow and about to leave for Canada. The Imp has been described by one test-driver as '"'a tre- mendous car that will shake up world markets." But more sig- nificant is the story of the ex- pansion of Linwood from a workless and undeveloped vil- New Ulcer Freeze Not Quick, Simple By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What is your opinion of the method of freezing peptic ulcers that I have recently heard and read about? Where is the nearest hos- pital equipped to do this?--I.G. Yes, I've heard about it, read about it, and discussed it. It is a new technique and an imaginative one. But it is not a quick and easy way of end- ing everybody's ulcers. There are indications for the use of this method, chiefly ul- cers which bleed, or cause in- tractable pain. It should not be used on just any ulcer. The freezing treat- ment has to be properly per- formed or there can be compli- cations, It requires both spec. ialized skill and equipment. Con- sequently it is not inexpensive. On the average, it is not yet known how long results can be expected to last, and neither can it possibly be known, until some years of experience are available, how often the proce- dure can be repeated. Perhaps we could compare it, philosophically anyway, with drastic reducing diets which make the patient. shed some weight, but don't teach him how to keep it off afterward. Thousands upon thousands of ulcers have been healed as a result of Conservative treat- ment, and in the process pa- tients have learned a few basic things such as how to live more sensibly. I'm not opposed to new and better and sometimes easier ways of solving our health problems. I am, however, dis- tressed about the feeling that everything can be made easy. It can't. Life isn't like that. I know that some doctors (and not without reason) have railed against articles on novel methods which have empha- sized the dramatic aspects but have not pointed out the limita- tions. Ithink- these new discoveries should be reported, but with reasonable restraint. The freezing technique is an example. It has been effective in cases which have defied sim- pled treatment, for a variety of reasons, should be tried first. To the question of "'where is the nearest hospital equipped to do this?" I beg off. "'I.G." lives in a metropolitan area. The doc- | tor treating his ulcers can tell him--and also decide whether such treatment is warranted. Or if '"'I.G." does not have a doctor and hence isn't getting the proved conventional treat- ment for ulcers--why not?

This is an example in wise urban de- j velopment which could well be amulated in Canada. The entire British Isles could be contained within our, five Great Lakes. Yet of those tiny isles, the minute Greater Lon- don area houses 13,000,000 souls, one-quarter of the entire popu- lation. This world's largest com- munity is already so over- crowded that the traffic arter- ies are almost stagnant and land costs exorbitant. Yet it is so prosperous that new industry competes with new industry for sites, labor, transportation and distributive facilities. TORONTO APES BAD LEAD In the same way, new indus- try chases new industry into On- tario's lakeshore bottleneck around Toronto, while open land, fresh air and abundant labor can more readily be found in many of our smaller commu- nities, But the British Government has decided in its wisdom that enough is enough. It directed this planned new car plant, as it-directs other industry, away from London and into an unde- veloped area, Two years ago, the first sod was turned on the 278 acre site and the seed of a new indus- trial community was_ born. Within 18 months, production commenced upon the novel mini-car which was launched upon the drawing board four years ago previously. When pro- duction peaks, 5,000 well-paid jobs will be available in the formerly under-privileged agri- cultural village of Linwood, Fourteen miles from dear dirty old Glasgow, on the Scottish lowlands where sheep used to graze, prosperity is now grow- ing--by government edict! Must the New World repeat the mistakes of the Old? Can- not we profit from the lessons of history? The name Linwood could well become a battle-cry for our by-passed smaller and lovelier communities, to which common. sense and government should direct the industrial plums now pushing into over- crowded Toronto. UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Danish Butter Producers Win British Concession By M. McINTYRE HOOD - Special London (Eng.) pondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The Danes have won a victory and the Common- wealth countries of Australia and New Zealand will be the losers under an agreement which has been reached at Lis- bon between Britain and Den- mark. Under this agreement, Britain has promised to suspend tariffs on butter imported into this country from Denmark, The quid pro quo is that Denmark will agree to reduction and eventual disappearance of tar- iffs on manufactured goods ex- ported from Britain to the coun- tries of the European Free Trade Association, In effect, this means the end of the Commonwealth prefer- ences now given to dairy farm- ers in Australis and New Zea- land on butter shipped to the United Kingdom. There is, how- ever, one qualification yet to be cleared out of the way. The Danish foreign minister, Mr. Per Haekkerup, in announcing the a eement reached, used ministers to agree at their forthcoming trade min- isters' conference in London. We are willing to go ahead on that basis. It is a legal question and it must be agreed by the Commonwealth countries, But we are optimistic." There will, however, still be a degree of protection for butter imports from Australia and New Zealand in the retention of the quota system, by which the Brit- ish government fixes the quotas on butter to be imported from each exporting country. The main advantage to the Danish farmers is that, with the abo- lition of the British tariffs on their: butter, they will receive higher returns from the butter they sell to Britain. This agreement now ensures that Denmark will agree to the tariff reductions on industrial goods, and this is expected to have a beneficial effect on Brit- ain's manufactured exports to the EFTA countries. NEW INDUSTRIAL PLAN Church leaders, trade union officials and leading industrial- ists have given their joint and unanimous approval to a plan to improve social and industrial relations in Britain. In a document known as the Marlow Declaration, hammered out at conferences held at Mar- low, the traditional 'two sides to industry" would be replaced by a feeling of responsible part- nership, which the declaration urges should be established. It sets forth that injustices and anomalies must be removed from wage and salary struc- BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO Fifteen students graduated from the Oshawa Missionary College. This was the second largest graduating class in the history of the College. The Oshawa Tennis Club re- ceived a lease of land from General Motors, south of Wil- liam street and west of Ritson road, to accommodate four new courts, Rev. F. J. Maxwell, of Pem- broke, accepted a call to be pastor of St. Andrew's Presby- terian Church. C. M. Mundy was appointed chairman of the Citizens' Com- mittee which was launching a drive for funds for the YMCA, About 1,500 settlers from Eu- rope passed through Oshawa. Of this number, about 350 remain- ed in Toronto, with large dele- gations booked for manufactur- ing centres in Ontario. E. C. Partridge, Ontario Regi- ment bandmaster, accepted the position of choir leader in the Baptist Church. Oshawa "Red Shirts" soccer team won the first game of the season from Toronto's "Sons of. England" in Toronto. Mr, J, F, Finnigan was re- elected president and Mrs, E. Donald, vice-president, at the annual meeting of the Women's Catholic League. After 33 years in the bakery business, D, M. Tod moved into a modern plant with up-to-date equipment, machine. Among the Oshawa dentists who attended the 56th annual convention of the Ontario Dent- al Association were Dr. G. M. Trewin, Dr. H. Arnott, Dr. H. B, James, Dr. S. J, Phillips, Dr. T. 8. Tucker, Dr. R. B. Adams and Dr. W. J. Lang- maid.

They state: "We look to the churches, the trade unions, employers and teachers to be in the van of a new movement. If they wish it, they can confirm by action now that they are a people richly en. dowed by a thousand years of unifying experience." A dedication service for the Marlow Declaration is to be held in Westminster Abbey. As Commonwealth trade min- isters and officials engage in a series of talks leading up to the ministerial meeting of the Gen- eral Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the government is faced with a significant motion signed by 80 back bench members of ' parlidment. The motion calls for an amendment of GATT which would enable Britain to grant further preferences in favor of Commonwealth trade. United behind it are the die- hard opponents of Britain's entry, into the Common Market and many Conservative MPs who have not previously taken a .pro-Commonwealth line. A similar motion has been tabled in the House of Lords by the Earl of Sandwich. VISITING BUFFALO?
