| | | She Oshawa Zimes Published by Canadian: Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontarie T, L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1963----PAGE 6 Police Need Equipment For Traffic Crackdown Visitors to Oshawa describe this drivers as league jockeys", This is obviously unfair as a blanket condemnation, but un- fortunately there are enough "bush" city's "bush drivers around to create that ywen- eral impression, The person who drives in and about the city each day becomes accustomed to the discourtesies, inconsistencies and plain stupidities of a fairly high percentage of the city drivers, but it must indeed be an alarming experience for the visitor, There seem to be a remarkable number of people in Oshawa who do not understand the meaning of "Stop", or of the road markings which indicate through and turn lanes; who do. not know it is an offence to open a door into traffic; who think that corners are meant to be taken at high speed and that jack-rabbit starts' are obligatory; who cannot read "No Parking" and other signs; and who think that streets like Mary, Ritson, Simcoe North, Stevenson and Adelaide are speedways, These are the drivers sible for this year's atrocious acci+ dent record in Oshawa-~455 traffic accidents in the first seven months of the year, compared with 873 in the same period last year, And these are the drivers mainly responsible for the crackdown announced by city police this week. Oshawa has a good force, and its members will undoubtedly do their to control the traffic offenders, One must ask, however, whether the police are properly equipped for this very big job? Have they enough equipment to be mobile enough, to make enough, speed checks, for a thorough crackdown? One must. ask, whether the police get enough support from the courts, in the way of stiffer punishment of offenders ? The answer to both ques- tions, we fear, is "no", respon= best too, Time For Reflection In last February's election cam- paign, the Liberals carefully and skilfully created an image of them- selves aS a group of wise, exper- ienced men with fully considered policies to provide enlightened, aggressive government, That image has been smashed, not by the op- position but by Liberal ministers themselves. The destruction started with the bungling of Finance Minis- ter Gordon; it continued with the revelation of the lack of thought put into the municipal loan fund and contributory pensions pro- posals; it was completed when the Liberals led the rush to give mem- bers of Parliament a 76 per cent pay increase without doing any- thing about old age pensioners, In brief, the self-proclaimed pro- fessionals made themselves look like rank amateurs. Perhaps it was stage fright, Perhaps it was too earnest & desire to live up to the election promise of "sixty days of decision," Rut whatever the reason, the Pearson government had better prepare itself during the summer for a more effective per- formance at the fall session, The big problems for which the Pearson team claimed to have solutions are still untouched, There is every prospect that unemployment during the coming winter will be as high as it was last winter; the budget deficit may well be as high as or higher than the one which horrified Mr. Gordon during the last fiscal year; Canada's exchange reserves are once more slipping towards the danger point, In addition, Mr, Gor- don has the job of restoring the business confidence so badly shaken by his inent budget performance. The e>, cence of t yening session may be salutary; The gov- ernment can retain a sense of secur- itvy the opposition will still be sharp-eyed, but it will also be un- willing to force an election, at least until well into next year, Mr, Pear- son and his colleagues .have a breathing space. Let us hope they make good use of it, recess Another Tariff Tiff The United States is once more at odds with the Common Market. The EEC boosted tariffs on dressed poultry exported by the U.S, and rejected an American request for readjustment, Now the Kennedy administration plans to retaliate by raising duties on some European commodities, Such actions strike a sour note in the pious concert of acclaim for less restrictive trade practices in the free world, "The sad thing about this kind of battle," says the Milwaukee Journal, "is that it makes a mockery of freer trade policies long advocated by the United States and spelled out clearly in the 1957 Treaty of Rome brought France, Italy, West Germany, Bel- gium, the Netherlands and Luxem- burg together in the Common Market." But while the United States has "long advocated" freer trade policies, its practice has been protectionist --- and the Europeans, whith TROTVES Ott oes Avera, F Mo>real SUBSCRIPTION RATES Delivered by car " me W Poaerng Brera.

Taxi-driver Jim Morrissey ex- pounded his simple philosophy of life's happiness in that mem- orable sentence, as he drove the Nicholson family along the twisting oleander-fringed lanes of that island sometimes called "Canada's Sun Porch." The holiday visitors, as we were, quickly come under the easy-going spell of "The Sum- mer Islands,' as Bermuda is called, Eternal sun makes that coral strand lush and different, One quickly forgets the rat race back home, in the world's great- est tourist mecca which even banned for half a century that noisy innovation the motor car. Bermuda, The Bahamas and the smaller British West Indies are mentioned as our. possible lith province. That is a big question; but there is no ques- tion at all about the warm wel- come they would all give to a customs union with Canada TOURISTS WELCOME Bermuda is a cluster of 100 isles, of which only 20 are in- habited, Their total area is less than 20 square miles. Their pop. ulation -- two-third colored--is 45,000; but 28,000 guest beds make tourism their biggest business, Last year 4,000 air. liners each took an-average. of over 100 visitors there, includ- ing many Canadians. Fewer visitors make the two-day sea trip from New York Bermuda, like the more dis tant Caribbean Islands, used to be thought of as a playground for the idle rich, especially in our snowbound early months of the year, But the airliner has changed all that. In only two hours, the Nicholson family was jetted from the complained-of heat of Montreal to the ocean- cooled. sunshine of Bermuda, on a modern magic carpet oper- ated by Trans Canada Air Lines. Just time to enjoy a duty-free bottle of "bubbly" with an ex- cellent lunch--plus a bird's eye view of affectionately-remem- bered Cape Cod as we passed over I think it was lLl-yearold Vicky who read the Bermuda ad. To ease the Ontario hay fever suffered by Carol, we have long sought warm sea- bathing on our 'holidays--and a wonderful cure that has proved to be, But we had never before been so far as Bermuda's pink coral beaches, everlasting sun, exotic colors and that peace which passeth the understand: ing of ihe rat race The first writer about that beneficiary of nature was per- raps Andrew Marvell, who three centuries ago wrote the poem: "Where the remote Ber- mudas ride " He described "This. eternal Spring, which here enamels everything." In that enamel, we found the al- most ever-dlooming hibiscus in over 150 varieties, the majestic red blooming royal ponciana tree, the prolific oleander pink BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Miss Toronto.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The Central Elec- tricity Generating Board has let a contract for what will be the largest nuclear, power station in the world, and also the most expensive, The station is to be built at Wylfa, in Anglesea, and while the board's announce- ment does not make any men- tion of its cost, it is likely to cost in the neighborhood of $300 million, And to build it a con- YOUR HEALTH sortium has been formed by three leading engineering firms, English Electric, Babcock and Wilcox and the Taylor Wood- row Atomic Power Group, In making the announcement the board said that the two re- actors of this single power sta- tion will produce one million kilowatts of electricity, The largest nuclear power station now being constructed in Brit- ain, by the same group of com. panies, is a station at Sizewell, in Suffolk, which will have a capacity of 580,000 kilowatts, Pattern Of Sleep Must Be Developed By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD Dear Dr, Molner: We are having bedtime problems with our 18-month-old daughter Recently, on being put in her crib, she has cried hysterically for as long as 45 minutes Having the light on makes no difference, She does not sleep well, waking up every few nights for as long as several hours She is the adored baby and the centre of family attention Is there anything we can do? --Mrs. C,G, Hysterical weeping for 45 minutes isn't good for the child --and it isn't good for the par- ents' nerves, either, First, most of these sleep problems are the result of early training or conditioning, Not all, but most, There may be a clue in your remark that "she is the adored baby and the cen- tre of family attention," It's natural for babies to want to be the centre of aten- ion, Some crave this more than others, A smart baby can pick up the trick of creating a fuss very early in life--if the fuss keeps him or her in the limelight, And quickly it's a habit Or there may be some quirk of circumstance -- a tone of voice, an attitude toward going to bed, some unwitting remark that may make the child fear- ful. There are many variations, However, these problems usu: ally boil down to the fact that a new habit has to be de- veloped, Parents must adopt a firm attitude, At the same time, too. much ado, too much ex- plaining or ordering or what- ever, can aggravate the situa- tion by attaching more import- ance than it warrants, Be firm, be simple, be calm --hard as that may be when the little one again resorts to hysterical tears. Children acquire different sleep patterns. A child who is not tired at bedtime is likely to lie awake--whether quietly or noisily is another matter! And, incidentally, one who is too tired, and too stimulated, eS can stay awake when sleep is what is needed most, You might well discuss it with your pediatrician, Some- times a very tiny dose of seda- tive for a short period will help establish a good and last- ing sleep pattern, Dear Dr, Molner: I am a cab driver, 41 years old, six feet tall and weigh 187 pounds, I work 12 hours a day, walk a mile to work and a mile home, with no other exercise, We live on the second floor, When I get home I'm so short of breath I have to sit down for a minute or so before I can talk to the wife and kids. What's wrong?-- JP. Shortness of breath to that degree is not normal, Whether it is a sign of some difficulty of heart, lungs, breath passages or something else is impossible for me to guess, But you should see a doctor, You may nip some sort of trouble in the bud, The new station at Wylfa will be operated on the same gen- eral principles as all the large commercial nuclear stations now beng operated or construct. ed in Britain. They are all of the general so-called Calder Hall type, The Wylfa station, however, represents a great leap forward in size, After it had been shown that the Calder Hall system was a good one, each pair of re actors has been designed to pro- duce between 275,000 and 580, 000 kilowatts of power, Now, with each Wylfa reactor to pro- duce about as much electricity as at least two of its predeces- sors, the Calder Hall design is be'iig given its most stringent test BOARD'S REQUEST In awarding the contract to the three firms mentioned, the Central Electricity Generating Board has made it known that the English Electric consortium "should seek to negotiate' with the firm of Richardsons West-+ garth of Hartlepool, This * re- quest has been made with a to give this firm a sub- al order, and has been issued "because of employment considerations in the North. Kast development area," This is one of the black areas of Britain from the standpoint of unemployment. No sum likely to be spent with the Hartlepool firm has been named, It is likely, how- ever, that it will he consider- able, as Richardsens Westgarth make turbines, among other things, and a 1,000,000 kilowatt station could be the means of providing this firm with a con- siderable amount of work to keep men in employment The consortium's winning of this huge contract means that various other northern areas will also benefit from it, For a_ long time, it was thought that the United Power Company would win the con- tract, It seems that the decision mot to give it to them was made at roughly the same time as it was decided to have one colos- sal station at Wylfa and not two small ones of about 500,000 kilo. watts each. e PLAN A WITH A ministrotion, Commerce.
