| She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Human Beings Taught Hatred And Prejudice One does not have to look far these days for displays of the blind hatred that some members of the family of man hold for other mem- bers; for exhibitions of brutality and examples of suspicion and pre- judice. They might induce despair, were it not for the fact that as one passes from the lower to the higher animals, up to man, behavior con- sists less and less of innate reaction to outside stimuli. and more and more on learned behavior and thought. A human child is not born with hate and prejudice in him; these things are not an innate reac- tion but a learned behavior, some- thing he picks up in his home, at his school, with his friends, perhaps even in his church, Dr. Peter Haskell, director of the Anti-Locust Research Centre in London, told a BBC audience the other day about the inborn behavior pattern of a chaffinch. This bird, "when it sees a hawk above it in the sky, will give a single high-pitched call-note, and this has the effect that all other chaffinches that hear this -- and a good many other birds as well -- will at once take cover." But if a chaffinch is hand-reared in a sound-proof room, and a tape- recording of this call-note is played to it, the bird will immediately cower and peer up at the roof of its cage as if looking for a hawk, though it has never seen one. The appropriate response has been built in it at birth. The rigidity of such innate be- havior can be damaging. The feed- ing behavior of the silkworm is con. trolled by chemical means. The larva is equipped with receptors which can distinguish chemicals when in contact. with them; if the right chemicals .are not present in the food, the larva will not bite it, or it may bite it and refuse to swallow it. Silkworms feed on mulberry leaves, but Dr. Haskell noted: "It is also possible to produce a synthetic food just as nutritious as mulberry leaves, but if the 'swallowing' chem- ical is left out, the silkworm goes to it, bites it but will not swallow, and in fact dies rather than eat the otherwise perfectly suitable food." That is innate behavior. We can- not blame it for our prejudices, Obligation Of Parents Since activities in and about the water have become a leading form of family recreation, learning to swim has become an obligation of every parent. While the summer months provide most of the water recreation, swimming has become an all-year activity, with hotels, motels, schools and recreation cen- tres turning to the installation of indoor pools. Unfortunately, water recreation continues to take its toll of lives. Drownings in Canada number about a thousand every year, and most of these are caused by falls into water. Knowledge of water safety, there- fore, is just as important as learn- ing to swim, for an individual can- not always control himself when confronted with what safety experts call an "accident situation." Picture an average swimmer fall- ing back-first into the water. It is, perhaps, his first experience at hit- ting the water in this position; it is unusual and startling. Suppose he's fully clothed; he'll weigh more and will need more strength to move himself through the water. Add to this the sudden shock that it is in- evitable in such a situation, and you have the ingredients for another drowning statistic. It's easy to understand how those classed as non-swimmers can get into trouble, but good swimmers drown, too. Being able to swim is important, but this is by no means all. Since ignorance and carelessness cause most drownings, water safety knowledge is also important. Yet there's no special skill needed to learn and practise it -- it is simply common sense. This is Water Safety Week in Canada, promoted by the Cana- dian Red Cross, which operates an excellent water safety service. This summer, have fun in the sun and the water -- be water-wise. Police And Mr. Gaglardi Highways Minister Gaglardi of British Columbia has a liking for speed -- enough to have paid several fines for speeding. In the process he seems to have developed a dislike for the means used by police to eurb speeding on the highways. Last week, for example, he had some harsh words to say about radar traps; he thinks they're un- fair. Just about the time Mr. Gaglardi was shooting off his mouth about the nasty old policemen and their interference with fun and games on the highways, some statistics were béing issued about traffic deaths in Canada and the United States. One report carried the informa- tion that well over 3,000. Canadians would be killed in traffic accidents this year -- many of them because of excessive speed on the highways. Four hundred Americans would die over the Memorial Day holiday; and She Oshawa Gimes T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

The police are the people who have to rush to the scene of these accidents; they are the ones who must gather up the pieces and try to find out the cause; the ones who must see that broken bodies are transported to hospitals and mor- gues; the ones who must notify the next of kin. And they are the ones who must try to prevent accidents from happening. But the ineffable Mr. Gaglardi does not seem to think about these unpleasant things. All he can think about, it seems, is the sneakiness of the police officers who try to stop idiot drivers from making raceways of the highways. British Columbia finds itself with a rather bizarre government, and not the least "colorful" member of that government is Mr. Gaglardi, Other Editors' Views CRY FOR JUSTICE (Portland Organizer) The position of the southern white supremacists, that the Negroes in Birmingham brought on their own troubles by organized de- monstrations, is untenable. The crowded jails of that city are testi- mony to the civil violation of the inherent right of free people to assemble, to march, to pray and to sing. The dog bites and the injuries of men, women and children from clubs and water cannon cry out for justice and the recognition of equal rights among our citizens, STILL ROUGH SPOTS TO SMOOTH OUT QUEEN'S PARK Answer To Critics By Liberal Leader By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The public image of Liberal Leader John Winter- meyer has been suffering from a bad complexion recently. Since the Robarts govern- ment started to go ahead to- wards the end of the session, Mr. Wintermeyer has been over-shadowed. With both a press party that have never and a been REPORT FROM U.K. this has Liberal overly-sold on him, kicked back on the leader. Some of his least loyal sup- porters began talking publicly about possible successors. And at least one newspaper discussed him quite frankly, questioning whether he would measure up to what it termed as his last chance. Many of us wondered how TUC Body Worried PY By Soviet Jaunts By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- At a meeting of the general council of the Trades Union Congress mem. bers, it was decided to seek talks with the chief officials of the Scottish Trades Union Con- gress over a matter which will require some delicate handling. The subjects which the TUC chiefs want to discuss with their Scottish counterparts have to do with the latter's relationships with unions in the Communist countries. They are seriously disturbed by the growing num. ber of Scottish trade union dele- gations going on visits to coun- tries on the other side of the Tron Curtain. Recently, two trade union del- egations from Scotland went to Russia and one to Czechoslo- vakia. Another group has made arrangements to go to Russia later this year. AGAINST POLICY The Trades Union Congress has a long - standing policy against "organizational con- tacts' with unions in the Com- munist countries. The TUC has raised no objec. tions to individual British unions sending delegations to discuss industrial matters with Com. munist unions. But it, has al- ways held that there is a ser- ious danger that delegations from national centres of trade unionism, such as the Scottish TUC, might be taken to imply recognition and approval of the Communist system of govern- ment and trade union organiza-. tion. The TUC, of course, has no formal or legal authority to con. trol the Scottish Congress, which is an autonomous body. But underlying the forthcoming talks between the two bodies there will be an awareness, on both sides, that most of the Scottish TUC's affiliated unions and members are also affiliated with the TUC. In the final analysis, if it came to a show. down, this means that its pol- icies can be made to conform with those of the national body through the bloc vote. That the talks will provide an occasion requiring considerable delicacy in their handling was not overlooked at the meeting of the TUC general council at which the decision was taken to initiate them. In fact, this point was emphasized, George Smith, general secre- tary of the Woodworkers Union, and a proud native of Dundee, objected to the fact that the question has been considered by the TUC's international commit- tee as though Scotland was a foreign country. Mr. this. NOT AGGRESSIVE Not the most aggressive fighter in the world, there was the question would he lie down before it. Now we know, He is fighting back. And fighting quite effec- tively. On public platforms the Lib- eral leader has ftced the ques- tion of his personal leadership quite frankly and has discussed the criticism he has been re- ceiving. And then, expressing confi- dence, he has given reasons why he has confidence, and why his party can have it. You might say that the root of these reasons, though he doesn't express it in this way, is that the public has sensed an incapacity in the Robarts gov- ernment. And that they have Wintermeyer would take been expressing this through re- - newed interest in the Liberals and support of th party. One of his strong arguments is the Liberal success in the five by-elections of last. year. OUT-DRAWING PC's But probably a more pertin- ent one is that the Grits have been strongly out-drawing the PC's at their nomination meet- ings. Your observer, as he has be- fore in this space, goes back to Prime Minister Pearson when trying to picture understanding of Mr. Wintermeyer. The two are alike in that they are not in any sense the "pro" politician. They take an intellectual ap- proach. And they are not men to whom the end justifies any means. They are men of high Political integrity. Such men are not great pub- lic persuaders and.they don't gain quick support at the polls. BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Albert E.

OTTAWA REPORT Diefenbaker Still Snubbing Quebec By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- "The mote, the beam and Quebec'"' might be the title of an overlooked but deeply significant episode at the open- ing of the new Parliament. That English - 'speaking Canadians overlooked it perhaps serves to explain the unawareness about Quebec which has led to the ex- plosion of bombs by Separatists, "IT have been somewhat sur- prised," opposition leader Dief- enbaker told the House, '"'by some of the recent events that brought about seniority within the government of Canada, All of us who have known the sec- retary of state for external af- fairs (Hon, Paul Martin) for so long hoped he would have been in a position second only to the prime minister. If he had only followed the course taken by the minister of justice (Hon. Lionel Chevrier) in leaving his prov- ince of Ontario and departing YOUR HEALTH for Quebec, his seniority might thereby have been assured." Mr. Diefenbaker referred to the fact that Mr. Chevrier is ranked as the next senior mem- ber of the cabinet after Mr. Pearson and is accordingly hon- ored to be his seat-mate in the House. The insinuation was that Mr. Martin had been down- graded; but Mr. Chevrier and Mr. Martin, both of French blood and both representing On- tario ridings, were sworn in as cabinet ministers initially on the same date but in that order, on April 18, 1945. While Paul Martin has served continuously in Parliament since then, and in the cabinet during years of Liberal rule, Mr. Chevrier was absent for a brief two years when he was appointed president of the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority. But when Mr. Chevrier re- turned to Parliament in 1957, Foot Cramps Due To Arch Or Shoes By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: My daugh- ter, 31, has had foot cramps in bed for two years. Sometimes she has to get up and walk. Is there anything she can do about this? --MRS. E. W. This sort of cramping very often is due either to a defect in the arch or faulty shoes, or a combination of both. Heels may be too high, shoes too short and narrow. As the foot relaxes after a hard day in the wrong shoe, the cramps result. But putting her weight on the foot, she stretches the tense muscles and gets rid of the cramp. Massaging the muscles before going to bed may help prevent cramps. But since the trouble has continued for two years, I think she ought to get permanent cor- rection rather than rely on temporary relief. These cramps are no fun. She should see either an or- thopedist of a pediatrist (bone specialist or foot specialist) to find out whether she needs dif- ferent shoes, special arch up- port or other treatment. Dear Doctor: I am troubled with cramps, mostly in my toes, during the night. Could this be a muscle ailment or a diet de- ficiency?--MRS, L. See remarks above. Although you did not mention your age, I wonder whether you may not be a bit older than the woman of 31. Some people, as they grow older, think that they don't need milk--or other sour- ces of calcium, So yes, your cramps might be the result of such a diet deficiency. You re- mark that the cramps are mostly in your toes, indicating that sometimes they are esle- where, which leads weight to the deficiency possibility. Dear Dr. Molner: What are tongue tonsils? Are people born with them? Do they ever need attention--MRS., W. B. These are lingual tonsils--at the back of the tongue. The tonsil tissue in general forms a sort of ring nose and throat--ordinary ton- sils at the sides; the adenoids, tonsils, at the base. We are born with them. Occasionally tongue tonsils have to be re- mnoved because of enlargement or infection. Dear Dr. Molner: I have been taking "no-baby" pills for over ten years. I have always had my period at regular 28-day in- tervals, but for two months I have had three a month, Could the pills cause this?--C. I. Quite likely, This is called 'break-through bleeding" which is known to occur with this med- ication. Report it to your doe- tor but don't become alarmed. TODAY IN HISTORY By The Canadian Press June 5, 1968 .. , A force of about 2,000 American troops was taken by surprise in an attack by some 700 British soldiers at the Battle of Stoney Creek 150 years ago today--in 1813 --and routed in confusion. The invaders were camped near Burlington Bay on the Canadian side of Lake On- tari when the Redcoats at- tacked in the early morning. T. J.

OSHAWA in the' By the way, did you create that name for the pills? Dear Dr. Molner: The aver- age pulse rate is said to be be- tween 72 and 80. What could cause a slow pulse between 56 and 60 and does it have any ef- ag general health?--MRS, Yes, that's the average--but "average" means that some are higher and others lower, but without any harm to heatlh. Just being slow doesn't neces- sarily mean it is serious or in- jurious to health. It is often seen in folks with underactive thyroids, but may exist as a perfectly normal state. (Of course there is such a thing as the pulse being excessively slow, below 50, but that's an- other matter.) then 1g a Quebec rid- ing and as Quebec leader-desig- nate, his former seniority was restored to him. Thus the last Parliament it was he, and not Paul Martin, who was the ' 4 seatmate of the party leader. It is a tradition in the Liberal party that an English-speaking leader shall alawys have as his chief lieutennt a French-speak- ing deputy, and vice versa. In contrast, the Conservative party 4 tended " abandon this ex- cellent practice, al h the Liberals adopted tee the Conservative example of Sir John A. Macdonald and Georges Etienne Cartier. That historic Tory tendem is still revered in the Conservative 'Macdonald- Cartier" cluivs; it is honored in the name of the important new bridge now being built in this sree to link Ontario with Que- C, ; So, while Mr. Diefenbaker was taunting Paul Martin on very questionable grounds, I won- pore Hanan Mr. tage» once own French-speaking tenant was? He had criticised the Lib- erals for a fancied mote, but overlooked the obvious beam in his own actions. 'LE CHEF' : When the first Diefenbaker eomaset =e et in, the sen- or representative from Quebec, Leon Balcer, was ranked sixth. He was humbled by appoint- ment to the "nothing" role as solicitor - general, Through the years, Henri Courtemanche was " promoted over his head to the prestige role as secretary of state; Noel Dorion was likewise given precedence as president of the council, They faded away, other ministers resigned or were defeated, But Leon Balcer went steadily and successfully on- ward. Today he is second only to his leader in seniority, and is the senior French-Canadian ba sa ee He uld merit, on h unds, the honor of being ostennte to Opposition Leader Diefenbaker. But Quebeckers have not failed to note yet another Dief- enbaker snub to their province. Balcer has again been side- tracked, the honor has gone to his junior colleague from the small province of Nova' Scotia, George Nowlan. Quebec is aware that it re- ceives less than its due from the present leadership of the Conservative party, It has given Ney eae " bd ber nage J emphatically at the polis in the last two elections. READERS' VIEWS TORONTO BYPASS Dear Sir: With respect and perhaps vith some right as perhaps the only living former reporter on The Oshawa Reformer, (and I had the honor of writing July 1, 1927, editorial marking change of name announced on that Diamond Jubilee for Can. ada), I would like to suggest that your lead editorial for May 28, edition should have been headed: "Province to Pay Again for Lack of Crystal Ball'. The truth is that the Toron- to Bypass, which became the first usable if not entirely com- pleted section of Highway 401 -- built in sections to relieve post-war traffic congestion in many centres as a most timely solution for a problem that could have swiftly become far more serious -- was the result of great grass-roots leadership and extraordinarily able engin- eering planning. The leader to whom I refer is Mr. George H. Doucett, MP, Lanark Coun- ty Riding, who was Ontario Minister of Highways from Au- gust, 1943, to January, 1955. The engineering planning was head. ed up by Mr. J. D. Millar, P. Eng., M.E.1.C., who was Dep- uty Minister of Highways for most of the period just men- tioned and is now Deputy Minis- ter of the Ontaria Department of Public Works. Much of the Plapning for the Toronto Bypass and for the trans - provincial expressway, which at first was hardly more than a dream due to public op. position to the idea of being bypassed by a main traffic ar- tery, was done during the final two years of the Second World War by a skeleton staff of en- gineering experts since so many of the total group were on loan for various war emergency rojects such as the Alaska tighway. The major achievement in connection with the Toronto Bypass was the obtaining of land for right-of-way at prices which were quite fair then but, now, would be beyond the fi- nancial ability of the province. The technique of land purchase used obviously seems to have been the acquiring of larger eae land than would be required for ere. four- . controlled acters Tiere highway. That kept what the Department of Highways was doing or planned to do away from speculators, As a result, the province still owns sufficient land in the To- ronto Bypass' 20 miles to per- mit widening that facility to 12 or even 16 lanes when required. I submit that was far-seeing planning of the very highest order though, as I pointed out, no one had a crystal ball unless it was Hon. George H. Doucett, the Minister of Highways. Knowing him as I do, and re- vering him as one of the great- est leaders and finest men I ever have known, I do know he had the quality of vision. He had not long been a mem- ber of the Government formed by Hon, George Drew when he predicted that Ontario, in a few years, would have eight million people. There were quite a few snick- ers about that, especially among those planning part-time jobs for workless home-coming veterans. But Mr. Doucett not only believed what he predict- ed, but shaped his course ac cordingly. Ontario now and for many years to come will benefit from his farm-bred and Coun- ty Council leadership experi- ence that enabled him to look ahead and to plan the best way of being prepared for whatever was to come. y Cc, M.
