She Oshawa Cimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1963-----PAGE 6 Meaningful Habitation Means Numbers Control The principle of establishing federal and provincial parks and wilderness areas is constantly under attack by commercial interests who put selfish short-term advantage over long-term interest. But slowly -- all to slowly -- people in author- ity are beginning to listen to the pleadings and warnings of scien- tists, conservationists and others who can glimpse the terrible effect on future generations of uncontrol- led exploitation of land area, Such exploitation cannot be di- vorced from one of the stunning facts of our times popularly known as "the population explosion." There is a common fear that rapid multi- plication of human. beings will out- run the world's ability to grow food, But so many advances have already been made in food production -- and so many more are on the point of being made -- that the danger of total famine is remote indeed; the problem here is not so much one of production as of education, dis- tribution and technology. The big problem in the forseeable future will be the physical space to be oc- cupied by the multiplying bodies. Bruce Welsh, assistant profes- sor of biology at William and Mary College, Virginia, recently wrote about it in these words: "Ecologists know that popula- tions of all kinds have built - in checks for controlling their own numbers. Such checks are essential for the survival of the population. But the checks are often quite un- comfortable for the individuals in the populations concerned, The bill is paid by the individuals. "There is a difference between the physiology and the behavior of crowded and uncrowded organisms, In lower mamals these differences are often manifest among the crowded, in impaired fertility, poor lactation and maternal care... Ecologists know that these changes are not necessarily associated with a short food supply. They may be due to social and psychological fac- tors, and occur even when food is superabundant. Animals are not simply machines for the consump- tion of food. Each kind, including man, has behavioral and physiologi- cal limitations of one sort or an- other . "Far short of the population density that will tax our potential food supply there will be a limit of human tolerance, the advent of social and cultural stagnation, the disappearance of freedom -- and compassion -- and sensible moral- ity, the reign of an artificially tran- quilized and emotionless sub-animal existence. "Men need to know the stillness of their own mind, the quietness of God's hidden places." He comes to this logical conclu- sion "If we hold wilderness and natural beauty to be important for man's most meaningful habitation of the earth, although perhaps in ways that we do not yet understand, then we must act immediately to curb his uncontrolled increase in numbers." Montreal Police Work One cannot but admire the ten- acity and efficiency of the Mon- trea! police. They're not perfect, of course, being only human beings; and they're not supermen. They have a bit of a problem with crime, for example. Montreal is recognized as the Canadian city with the best-or- ganized, most numerous and most violent army of hoodlums. It has the most appalling record of gang deaths. The crime syndicate there seems. beyond the reach of the law -- one former chief of the city police is reported to be hiding in Mexico, because of the threat of Mafia-style vengeance Montreal on the word of other police officers -- is the main port of entry for illegal narcotics coming into Canada, and serves also as a distributing point for a large section of the United States. It has the nation's biggest and most fla- grant red light district, and is the central point of a network of pros- titution. Its traffic is frantic. But never let it be said that the Montreal police force does not face up to its dyty. Last week, for example, they scored a great tri- umph. No, they did not smash the crime syndicate or destroy the drug pipeline. But they broke up what they believe was a nefarious ring trafficking in (pardon the expres- sion) sweepstake tickets. They were even able to arrest a woman in her seventies and a man in his eighties, They're a fine, sturdy lot Ban On 'Cold Cures We hope that Health Minister Judy LaMarsh can find time during her peregrinations to study the re- port of a team of distinguished U.S medical scientists who investigated the effect of antibiotics and some other medications on the common cold. As a result of this report, the U.S. federal food and drug admini- stration proposes to ban more than 50 "cold cure" prescription drugs designed to be taken by mouth. The order would affect such combina- tion drugs as analgesics, deconges- tants and antihistamines when mixed with antibiotics. The administration's order is based on this argument: The drugs The Oshawa Cimes T. L. WILSON, Publisher C. "GWYN KINSEY, Editor nm All rights of specic! des- rved.

Infectious mononucleosis has, for decades, been calied the "kissing disease" because it us- occurs, if at all, near the at. which "'old" teen-agers or you ults of opposite sex become sted in each other. That's entire reason: for the term sing disease." It does not plain why the dis- ease happens to sweep, at tue appropriate age, through non- coeducational college dormitor- ies, military schools, army en- campments, in which I am sure the residents didn't go around kissing each other. As a minor point, I might add that time I\ mentioned the term "'kissing disease," was years ago. I got so etters accusing me of be- pposed to romance" that I thought I might as well drop the term Having infectious mononucleo- sis in the teens is comparabie to } ng measies in grade school. That's the age most p2o- ple have it. But I can cite chap- ter and verse on a child who had a stroke the age of nine, and of the ner of three chil- dren who had mumps at 42. There is evidence to show tnat infectious mononucleosis is common among young people and not So common among olde ones. There is no evidence that kissing has anything to do with it last Ask OTTAWA REPORT Ottawa Map Price Enrages Tourists By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Tourists visiuag Ottawa are complaining that they are being clipped by the federal government in the worst example of price inflation met here, The "Map of Ottawa and En- virons and Gatineau Park" is published by the National Capi- tal Commission, an agency of the government, This first ap- peared in 1956 at a price of 35 cents a copy, By 1962, the price had risen to 50 cents, This year the map, of exactly the same size as the 1956 map, has soared in price to 75 cents. Anyone can, of course, ob- tain a free map of Ottawa from most' of the gas filling stations in the capital, Is the govern. ment's map, a_ single sheet measuring about 31 inches square, the most costly sireet map of its size in the wold? Another comment by' tou concerns the notices on certain rooms provided in the Pa,lia- ment buildings for the use of uncomfortable females. In the House of Commons area of the Parliament Building, these rooms carry the bilingual no- tice: '"'Women-Dames."' In the Senate area, however, the no- tices apear to convey:class dis- tinction as well as racial preju- dice; there: they bear only the One word: "Ladies." Stanley Knowles, Winnipeg stalwart of the New Democra- tic Party, tells me that a group of 10 representatives of his party will be visiting West Ger- many next month, They will at- tend the 100th anniversary cele- brations of the German Social Democratic party, whose leader is the colorful and courageous mayor of West Berlin, Wiiis Brandt.

Fort Frontenac, now Kingston, Ont., was cap- tured and destroyed by the British 205 years ago today --in 1758--when it was ak important defended port for the fur trade. The site of the present city was picked by LaSalle in 1673 and the great explorer was made commandant of the camp. In. 1783 the site was reoccu- pied by United Empire Loy- alists from New York State and was named Kingston, probably in honor of King George 111.

BOTTLED IN BOND Sere aa ae meerceee on the side of his plate and transfer the fork to his rignt hand, Explanations and arguments have been windy and often far- fetched. But I have not seen any reference to the design of a most practical but long- abandoned instrument for eat- ing. This was the fork which had one of the outer tines made very wide, then sharpened into~ a knife edge. Holding the fork in the right hand,. its cutting edge could be used alterna'siy with its trowel action as re- quired. This instrument aad a historic origin. It was designed by the great British sailor, Ne.- son, for his personal use af.er he had had one arm shot away in battle. History does not re- late if he had one lip cut away at dinner PREDICTS POSITION Months ago, this column' re- ported exclusively that a deal had been fixed to. get around the obstinacy of the voters of Quebec City, Maurice Lamon- tagne, university professor and former senior civil servant, had long been a close adviser to Liberal Leader Pearson; but he could not get elected to the House of Commons even in chat traditional Liberal strongho.d, Quebec East, Once he was beaten by a Tory, then by a Socred. So a senatorship was offered to the aged Liberal MP for a safe Liberal seat in Mont- real, this column reported so that he could run there. Mr Lamontagne ran and_ was elected in Montreal Outre- mont in April, Last month the former MP, 73-year-old Romu- ald Bourque, was appointed to the Senate, thus fulfilling the old prediction of this column. The new senator is probably the first member of our, upper house to hold a union card--in the International Typographica Union QUEEN'S PARK WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Sudbury Star; There is an element of "'sob sister" appeal in a news report that tells of the leader of a Toronto motor- eycle club being sentenced to three months in jail. The story tells how. the jail sentence leaves "his wife seeking wel. fare money to support her three children,"' The news story (hen relates how his wife and. the motoreycle club members "fear" he may get another. jail term when tried on assault charges in September. Before any tears are shed it should be stated that this motor- cycle club "leader" is paying off a $3,000 damage suit result. ing from a fight in which he knocked out another man's eye in 1961,. The conviction which brought him the jail term was for having a case of beer out- side his residence. Motoreycle club members protest the pounce have been persecuting them since they found a quantity of clubs in the club headquarters bearing such legends as "kill for the love of killing." There are hundreds of motor- cycle riders. and motorcycle clubs in the county. Most never attract the attention of the police because they are law- abiding and peaceful. Taere need be no sympathy for those getting in trouble with the iaw. There can be sympathy for the innocents who suffer because of lawless acts, The motorcycle club leader protested his jail term with the words: "I have three children and a wife. I don't know how they can live without me." It is a little .ate to think about that. And the state is not heartless in seeing that wives and children of convict- ed men get proper care BURGLAR FOILED BRANTFORD, Ont, (CP) -- Police figure there's a frustra- ted burglar somewhere around here nursing his bruises, An in- truder entered Mrs. Harvey At- tridge's home through a kitchen window but fell 12 feet to the basement floor down an open stairwell, and left without steal- ing anything. Liberal Leader's Ability Attacked By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--One of the big questions of this election cam- paign, it seems, will centre. on the ability and personality of Liberal Leader John Winter. meyer. The main attack on the Lib- erals, the way things are shap- ing up, will probably be di- rected not to program or poi- icies but to Mr. Wintermeyer's ability to do a job The NDP, with practically no hope of winning more than a few seats, probably wants to see Mr. Wintermeyer and the Lib- erals go down to a bad defeat even more than it wants to see itself elected, It will be speaking out openly against the Liberal leader. Perhaps typical. of the type of attack is a statement from Ken- neth Bryden, NDP sitting mem- ber in Toronto-Woodbine. CLAIMS 'INSULT' Mr. Bryden, accusing Mr Wintermeyer of "hiding behind the Mafia," said he was '"'in- sulting 100,000 Italians in Can ada' and added that the NDP wouldn't think of questioning Mr. Justice Roach's report on his inquiry into crime This, of course, is so blatan tly political that not maay peo- ple would take it seriously--the thought of the NDP not ques- tioning practically any report is almost laughable. But as part of a general campaign to. ridi- cule Mr. Wintermeyer it could be effective. From indications the Progres- sive Conservatives also will be following the same pattern, though their attack most likely will not be so public, It has been and will be more of @ whispering campaign. Mr. Wintermeyer could suffer from this campaign He is not, of course, a fool, He is about as far from it a you can get. HAS DEPTH But he is a man of depth and breadth who knows there are two sides to practically all questions and that with most of them there is really no single answer that is absolutely right. He is not, therefore, a man of either quick decision or out- right decision. And this 1s against our tradition--a_tradi- tion built in much simpler days --in which, to a politician, black is black, white is white, and there is no in-between. He also is a man of stroag conscience and quite a degree of frankness. And when he started in politics he was in- experienced. This has left him in some ways with a poor image, And his biggest job in this cam- paign could be to get across his true. self to the public.
