The 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1963--PAGE 6 Governments Can Only Turn To The Taxpayer A speaker at a political nomina- tion meeting in Toronto the other day suggested that if Ontario had gtate medicine, people would have more money to spend because they would not have to pay medical ex- penses; he went on to develop the theory that when people are relieved of. the "moral pressure" to save, they spend the money and this spurs economic expansion. It is discouraging to think that this sort of political dishonesty is still being peddled; that there are still people ready to convince others that governments are somehow able to provide "free" services because they have some magic formula for plucking money out of the thin air, If the Toronto speaker had said that state medicine would help re- lieve people in low income brackets of the fear of heavy medical ex- penses, he would have been on firm ground. No one could dispute his statement. But only those who pay no taxes at all -- and that would mean people who earn very little and buy almost nothing -- would contribute nothing to the costs of state medicine, simply because the money to pay for such a scheme must come from somewhere and no government has any money of its own. The "somewhere", of course, is the taxpayer's pocket. To spend, to pay for any service from garbage collection to. medical care, govern- ment must tax. The extension of the discredited "free service" theory -- the release of money for spending -- is just as dishonest a proposition, Where does the capital needed for productive capacity and jobs come from? Again, it cannot be plucked from the air. It can come only from money. saved by someone, - Canada's big need at this time is capital. Lack of it caused a finan- cial panic last year. We have sold a vast amount of our resources to obtain it in past years, and we are still running deeper and deeper in the red. One of the big reasons for our situation is our desire to live beyond our national means, Preserving Algonquin There are renewed demands for more "motor" roads in Algonquin Park. The Ontario government must resist any effort to extend the road system, simply because it must resist any effort to destroy the Park's reason for being. Algonquin Park is easily reached from the densely populated south- ern portion of the province. An all- weather road runs through it from east to west, and both entrances link with provincial highways. From the through-route quite good roads fan to camping areas, and these have become numerous enough and popular enough to remove a broad strip of the Park from the. category of wilderness area. In addition, there are access roads along almost the whole circumference of the Park. In addition to the campers, there are the canoeists who find the numerous lakes and comparatively easy and well-marked portages of the Park ideal for long or short trips. Traffic on the main canoe routes is steady throughout the summer months. There are power boats on every lake accessible by road, and on many which mean a strenuous carry along trail. But there are still many other lakes which can only be reached by canoe and portage. All that is as it should be. The Park provides facilities for day- trippers, weekend holidays, family campers and the many thousands who want to get away from the crowd into quiet backwoods. Much of the park is still a wilderness area, inviting the seekers of solitude. And that is what the Park was designed to be -- a preserve not only for wildlife, for flora and fauna, but also for people seeking relief from the asphalt jungles and the urban sprawls. The pushing of more motor roads through the Park will destroy this concept. It will become just another resort. There are enough lakes, rivers and forest and in Ontario easily accessible to the motorist without an invasion of Algonquin. Those Women Drivers There were enough women driv- ers on the roads during the early days of the automobile to lay the groundwork for the legend of the utterly feather-brained female be- hind the wheel -- and not enough statistics were kept to prove or dis- prove the story. But during the postwar years there were great in- creases not only in the numbers of cars but in the number of women drivers and in the accumulation of numbers -- or statistics. Now it's fairly evident that women generally make good drivers; perhaps not so technically efficient as men (and that is debatable) but demonstrably more careful. They get into fewer accidents. The statistics research depart- ment of the Dominion Automobile Association reports that while operators' licences to female drivers She Oshawa Times T, L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

Other end Commonwealth Coun! 15.00, Provnces tries USA. end foreign 24.00, have multiplied three-fold in the past 15 years, the frequency rate of fatal accidents to drivers on the distaff side remains fairly con- stant; as an example, 74 female drivers were killed in 1960, and only eight more in 1962, while in the same period fatal accidents in- volving male drivers increased by about 23 per cent, In populous Ontario, despite the tremendous increase in female driver registration, the fatal acci- dent total for women drivers has remained steady at around 40 during the 1960s; the men's fatality rate, unfortunately, has not. The DAA's comment: "With all the tired, time-worn cliches about the inadequacy of the woman driver, it comes as a re- freshing change to learn, from the record, that the ladies can be counted upon to observe the three C's of safe motoring to a much greater degree than the male who. patronizes them." . e 2 Other Editors' Views GRASS ROOTS OPINION (Rodney Mercury) It is unfortunate for the people when the province gets to large that it is next to impossible to gain admittance to the key men of the Government, because without hear- ing from the grass roots it is obvious in most departments, civil servants, on whose judgment and background ministers rely\to a great extent, may not know what the people are thinking either. Oshawa Gines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited STILL FINDING IT HARD TO RELAX WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Kitchener Record; A_ recent decision of the Ontario Supreme Court extends in a small way the control of muni- cipal councils over school board financing, But it makes no basic change in the ability of school boards to spend money without consideration of coun- cil's view of the advisability of the program, The new decision establishes that councils can determine whether' or not capital ex- penditures planned by school boards are financed by a levy against current expenditures or by debentures, For some time opinion has been growing that councils should have more control of school board and police com- mission budgets since council is responsible for the municipal tax rate, School trustees, of course, do not favor any change in the system, They contend that this would put the subject of edu- cation in the realm of politics, This defence is not a particu- larly good one, Education is in the realm of politics at the pro- vincial level and it is difficult to see why there should be any distinction. As it is now councils control only about 40 per cent of the budgets they are expected to raise from the taxpayers. They are made responsible but are not equipped with the authority that might be expected to go with this responsibility. The importance of the recent decision is that it indicates that the belief councils have no con- trol over school boards is not necessarily correct. A further examination of the situation might even show that there are ways in which more control might be exercised. If this does not prove to be so, there is no question that coun- cils will continue to demand the power to veto and that there will be a good many who feel they should have it. The idea that education and police protection might suffer because of council niggard- liness hardly holds water today, Too much of the expenditure is provided in provincial grants and to obtain these it is neces- sary for the community to meet certain standards, What might result from coun. cil having control of expendi- tures would be some safeguard against empire and palace build- ing by boards and commis- sions, Manchester Guardian Weekly: At President Sukarno's wish the Indian Ocean will in future be known in Indonesia as the Indo. nesian Ocean. We may take it as modesty that he did not give the name of his country to the other ocean that washes its shores; the Pacific Ocean is still bigger. The Indonesians themselves are entitled to call the ocean (or anything else) what they like. The one thing TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Aug. 17, 19683... Prime Minister Mackenzie King and President Roose- velt met. at Ogdensburg, N.Y., 23 years ago today--in 1940--in an historic eonfer- ence on hemispheric de- fence. They announced a joint defence commission would be set up to plan the defence of North America. . Although the agreement was never signed, the clauses' of the agreement were imple- mented. 195 -- Indonesia was pro- claimed a republic. 1896--Gold was found at Bonanza Creek, the Klon- to be feared is that with this century's burst of nationalism (as in Europe in the, last cen- tury) the renaming habit should go too far. On the whole, new states have been forbear- ing. Whatever their feelings Kashmir, Pakistanis, so far as we know, have not yet started talking about the Pakistani Ocean, Even the Chinese, whose views on Western imperialists and other paper tigers are well known still use for America (Meikuo) and England (Ying- kuo) the characters meaniag "beautiful land" and "noble land." We ourselves persist in call- ing the Channel English for all that Continental languages do not recognize our claim to it. That is just a matter of usage, But we, too, are swept by waves of nationalism to tamper with marine momenciature. The North Sea is no longer the German Ocean, Kingston Whig-Standard: The Tuling of Mr. Justice Camp- bell Grant in the Ontario Su- preme Court that while munici- pal councils must raise funds for school operating expenses, they may refuse money out of current revenue for capital ex- penditures, has put an end to a controversy which has been growing hotter over the past few years. Public school trustees have taken it for granted that the Public Schools Act made it mandatory for councils to pro- vide whatever money _ school boards chose to demand, but Mr. Justice Grant disagrees with this opinion, The case which led to his finding was one between the Ajax Public School Board and the Town of Ajax. The school board wanted $60,000 raised on the 1963 tax levy to build a gymnasium for a local public school. Well, this is an air-clearer of considerable importance, Over the years the original zeal which led to the determination to have money for schools in the teeth of what was then a pretty general indifference de- veloped into a determination to have the public pay for any- thing and everything some school boards wanted to de- mand. It is one thing to see that children get the needed school facilities; it is quite an- other to use arbitrary power to circumvent the local council in its need to provide all the serv- ices required by the community. Apart from these basic con- siderations it is increasingly clear that such independent bod. les as school boards erode the traditional powers of municipal councils and the finding of Mr. Justice Grant is therefore to be welcomed as a salutory curb upon an increasingly arbitrary and unreasonable state of' fairs, By Jean Paul Fortin In The Montreal Star: I am a French- Canadian employed by an American firm in Montreal, and I am obliged to travel to var- ious parts of the United States, On my last visit I was astound- ed to hear the American people openly, and even in an insulting manner, show their utter resent ment of French Canadians in the province of Quebec advocat- ing an "independent" state with only one official French lan- guage recognized, I was asked if the separatists want another Algeria, and have the English population move out of the province, The American folk cannot understand 'these separatists at all, They are bit- ter and tell me if Quebec be- comes an "independent" state they will take over the province, that they would not allow a tiny foreign "independent"? Quebec to govern the mouth of the St. Lawrence, and leave it open for invasion by blood-thirsty crim- inal paranoiacs from Russia, and nearby Cuba, I may mention without fear of contradiction, that the Ameri- can people are showing the fangs against French Canadians who don't want the English lan. guage spoken. Infact, many don't want any part of us French at all, The terrorist movement by the FLQ criminals with their bombings, killings, and destruc- tion to property, has been pub- lished in press all over the States, and tourists and indus- trialists are staying clear of "La Belle Province", This cancerous separatist movement is deeply rooted, and the sooner stern action is taken to eradicate it by the govern- ment, the better. Any person with a miligram of foresight, can see that if we become an "independent" state with its anti-English language it will re. sult in mass unemployment, poverty, and misery to our race, so fellow French Cana- dians, wake up, and condemn the imbeciles who advocate and practise this doctrine. BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO Two electrical transformers were damaged during an elec- trical storm and Oshawa was without power from 4.30 p.m. until 11.30 p.m. : Tenders were called for a pro- posed new Oshawa Curling Club building. "Pat Patton pitched a 10-1 victory for the Oshawa team in the Central Ontario Softball League. Bowmanville players were the losers. A provisional board of direc- tors for the YMCA included Dr. G. L. Bird, E. L. Petley, D. J. Brown, Murray Miller, Fred Pawson, Thomas Henderson and Errol Bruton, Birds belonging to T. Travell of the Oshawa Flying Club won first place in a face from Brechin. An Oshawa rink of lawn bowl- ers skipped by D. A. J. Swanson won first place at the Aurora bowling tournament, A. Walton, L. Stevenson and T. Johns were other members of the rink, Announcement was made that Hon. George S. Henry, Minister of Public Works and Highways, would open Port Perry Fair. The Annis family picnic was held at Lakeview Park with 130 in attendance. Allan Annis, pres- ident of the picnic, introduced Stanley Annis of China , who sao briefly of his experiences ere, Oshawa defeated Leaside in a 10-inning softball game held here. Reginald Fair brought in the winning run. Town Engineer's Department issued building permits amount- ing to $329,080 for July. They in- cluded a new public school on Centre street and 60 private res- idences. George Anderson, Charles Morton and C, R. MclIntosh were among the Oshawa people to attend the Acton Old Boys' Re-Union, Thomas Henderson was elect- ed president and E. L. Petley, vice-president, of the new board of directors of the YMCA. A demonstration of work in the making and an exhibition of articles finished by members of the Canadian Institute of the Blind, was held at Ward and Dewland's store. Residences in Cedardale were renumbered. UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Test Treaty Appreciated But Few Too Optimistic By M. McINTYRE HOOD . Special London (Eng.) - a eee For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The apparent at- mosphere of goodwill which sur- rounded the ceremony of sign- ing the nuclear test ban agree- ment between Britain, the Unit- ed States and Russia has been received with a grim sort of satisfaction in this country, There is also a measure of ap- preciation of the fact that talks on further moves towards eas- ing international tensions are taking place and will be con- tin in the near future, pos- sibly at the time of the United Nations General Assembly meeting later in the year, Much prominence is being given to the gesture of the Rus- sians in allowing the Earl of Home, Britain's foreign secre- tary, to address the people of the whole of Russia on a nation- wide television network, Nothing like this has happened since Prime Minister Macmillan visit- ed Russia about four years ago, one was given a similar privi- lege. NOT DECEIVED In »pite of these events, which do indicate that Bast and West are drawing closer together, few people in Britain have been de- celved into thinking that the millenium has come, and that the cold war between Commu- nism and the free countries of the West js coming to an end, It is recognized, and the Daily Telegraph makes this point very strongly, that the fundamental division of the world into two competing ideologies is un- changed. In spite of his seeming desire to heal breaches between Rus- sia and the Western alliance, Mr. Khrushchev's determination to work for domination of the world by Communism is. still unchanged, Equally unchanged is the determination of the free world to defend its freedom, So the British people have not been taken in by the show of goodwill and harmony with which the agreement-signing ceremony was attended. They know that there has been no abatement in the antagonism between Russia and the Western nations. It has simply suited the Russian plans, for the moment, to come to an agreement for a partial ban on the testing of nu- clear weapons, RIFT WITH CHINA British observers are showing ®@ very keen interest in the ap- parent rift between Communist China and Russia, But they do not lose sight of the fact that, while ideas as to methods may differ radically, the aims of these two Communist powers are still identical, They are both striving to achieve domina- tion over the non-Communist world, And it may well be that the' Russian methods of peaceful penetration will achieve more sure success in that direction than the Chinese dream of using military power to attain its ends, It is encouraging to note, in conversation with British people who are well-informed, that they are under no delusion that Rus. sia wants to team up with the West in order to halt China's plans for military action, In spite of all that has hap- QUEEN'S PARK pened at Moscow--and this step is sulla strong feeling that Ruse Gia is playing a wily game, and me" te p Fed Yhe western ions in Aidate secures enough votes te at in ace tion from the United States Russia, the National Coal Board of Britain has secured a some directions, while holding fro! fast to its old policies in others, So it can be taken for granted that while there is satisfaction that nuclear weapon tests in the atmosphere, on land and on sea are now banned, the British peo- ple and government are not con- vincyed that this minor action has been brought about by any substantial change in the ulti. seeking mate aims of leaders. OPPONENT FOR BENN Anthony Wedgwood Benn is not going to have a walk-over in the by-election for the Bristol Southeast seat in the House of Commons, As I predicted in this column last week, while the Liberals and Conservatives are not contesting the seat, there is independent opposition for the reluctant peer who is once again a commoner, A group known as the Anti- Socialist, Liberal and Conserva- tive party is to challenge the election of Mr, Wedgwood Benn, and thus make it necessary for him to fight for his seat, This group, never heard of before, aims to secure the support of all who are opposed to the Labor party, With the Liberals and Con- servatives committed to allow- ing Mr, Wedgwood Benn an ac- clamation, however, the Anti- Socialist party is not likely to Secure any substantial number of votes in Bristol Southeast.

Mr, Howard points to a new boom in Britain's coal exports, He expects this year's total to be 40 per cent higher than that for last pe. He sets a figure of 6,750,000 tons as the likely tige ure for 1963, the highest for years. And this would give a $120 million boost to Britain's balance of payments, Coke exports are running at the highest level since 1945, Last oa on Ngee AA 750,000 'ons, but this year that figure will be doubled, It is significant that the great. est increase in coal exports is to Common Market countries, Last year, they took 2,500,000 tons of British coal, For 1963, the esti- mated total is in the neighbor. hood of 4,800,000 tons, The board has secured orders from France and Bel- gium, while Holland and the Scandinavian countries are also taking more, For the first time, British coal has broken into the French power station market in a big way, and this is helping materially in the export boom for Britain's coal, Mongoloid Child Needs Love, Care By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr, Molner: My year- old grandson is a "borderline mongoloid." The doctor says the boy can be put in a home for retarded children, but my son and his wife don't want that, at least not yet. If Ll can give them any hope, I want to do it. What do you advise? Please explain mongolism,. -- MRS, J. L, Mongolism has been traced to the presence of an extra chr2- mosome in each cell, and it evidently must be present from the time of conception, The results of mongolism are both physical and mental, In some cases a glance is enough to tell that a child mungo- loid; other times appearance and behavior may be such that a casual observer may not no- tice anything awry--the "bor. derline case." The parents must think care- fully about whether the child should go to a home for re- tarded children--what is best for him; whether they are in a position to take care of him themselves; what 'the effect might be if there are other Riding Struggles Election Pattern By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Watch the candi- da'es. That's the clue the old pro political observers would pass out for the coming elec- on tion. It promises to be a riding-by- mding fight, more so than any federal election we have had in the province in recent times. And in this type of a cam- paign the candidates are import- ent. In recent campaigns you al- most always could tell the seats the Liberals and NDP would pick up from the government by the type of men they had an the field. Even though the trend might be against their parties as you travelled throughout the prov- ince you could spot men you would be almos: sure would win. COULD SPOT WINNERS In 1955, for instance, the Lib- erals obviously weren't going anywhere as a party, But in Oxford they had a new candi- date in young Gordon Innes; a lar mayor of Guelph; larry Worton, running in Well- ington South; and an aggressive young dairy man, Ross Whicher, an the field*in Bruce. : They were all energetic, \en- thusiastic young men with good standing in their communities. active with nominations though not too much is known about the calibre of men and women they are offering. If they run to form they will have a large number of union men, with probably one or two strong enough as individuals to pick up some seats, There has been no sign, how- ever, that they generally will be more forceful than PC TROUBLE? So far as the government is concerned it will take the next few weeks to tell the story. The Conservatives have been lagging with their nominations. This is said to be intentional, It is felt that in most ridings there s little to be gained in having men in the field early. But it also has been rumored that the PCs have not been find- ing at baad out the good PC organizer, hand-picked candidates for years. And not only picked them but persuaded them to run. To date there has been no- body with his experience around to fill his shoes. children. Putting him in a nome does not (or rather need not and should not) mean shutting him out of their lives,. Visits there can be frequent, Such a child, unless he can be brought up in a permanently sheltered environment, is likely to be happier, less frustrated, less 'lost'? among others who are, like him, retarded, Don't try to give the parents hope. Rather, they must accept facts, and not indulge in wishos which have no chance of com- ing true, The: retarded child, and this May be particularly true ot the mongoloid, is affectionate and needs affection. Recognizing his limitations is one thing. Loving him is another, You can love him just as much, Perhaps more, Dear Dr. Molner: What is your opinion of adults having their tonsils removed? My hus- band is 45. A specialist advised removal. Do you think it best to get an additional opinion?-- MRS, W. P, Tonsils should be remove§ at any age, if they are infected and cause trouble. That's the answer to yr question. Children, being young and re- silient, tolerate tonsil removal much more easily than do adults, Yet the latter, with badly dis- eased tonsils, may need to have them removed even more ur ntly, Whether your husband should have an opinion from another specialist might well depend on whether the first: was empha- tic, or "iffy." If he said, "There isn't much we can do until these tonsils come out," that's emphatic, If he said, "Weil, the tonsils look pretty red, and they could cause trouble," you might ' want (a) to wait a while and see, or (b) to have another spe. cialist's opinion. Dear Dr. Molner; Can you have bursitis in the arms and legs?--X Bursitiits is possible in any joint that has a bursa, or one of the little protective sacs. The commonest place are the shoulder, knee, elbow and wrist. It can also occur in hands, feet, and occasionally elsewhere, You picked them as wi 7 and they came through. The Liberals have been the busiest party to date in naming candidates And it has been re- ported they have been getting out some yxood men.
