' The Oshawa Fines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1963-----PAGE 6 Election Puts Robarts In Powerful Position After what was considered a rather dull campaign, the Ontario election Wednesday turned out to be something of a shocker. Provin- cially, the most startling result was the defeat of John Wintermeyer, the Liberal leader. Locally, the shock came with the defeat of T. D. Thomas, the veteran NDP member who finally met defeat for the first time in fifteen years. The provincial result must be considered a personal victory for Premier Robarts. 'The Conservatives put their effort into selling Mr. Robarts as the young, vigorous leader of a fresh, vigorous team; Mr. Robarts himself played a role that was natural for him -- the cool, young but experienced execu- tive with no time for the petty squabbles of lesser politicians. He did not try to revive the glories of the Frost regime, but campaigned on his two-year record. How well he succeeded can be judged from the results. This makes Mr. Robarts a formi- dable figure not just provincially but in the federal arena as well. It thrusts him well to the fore- front of the candidates for the leadership of the federal Conserva- tive party. From a strictly provin- cia] standpoint, it gives him an ex- tremely strong hand in dealing with the federal government -- and he is not likely to forget the part played by Miss Judy LaMarsh in the campaign. There is little doubt that Mr. Wintermeyer's days as leader of the provincial Liberals are now num- bered. His has been an uneasy leadership at any time, with a seg- ment of the party accepting him only reluctantly. To secure his posi- tion he had to lead the party to a stronger position in the Legis- lature. His personal failure adds to his discomfiture. It also points up a stern political lesson: If a scandal campaign is to be successful, it must have to be based on more than vague accusation. Mr. Thomas lost, but his party bettered its position. To winner Albert Walker go our congratula- tions. But it should not be forgot- ten that Mr. Thomas has been an honorable and diligent representa- tive of this riding, and we wish him well. . Hit-Run Change Needed A 26-year-old man named Stan- ley Hansen was driving on the Trans-Canada Highway near Saan- ich, B.C., some time ago. He had been drinking. He had been con- victed twice before of failing to remain at the scene of an accident. And that is what he did when his car struck a woman, cut her almost in two and hurled her into a ditch 60 feet away. He fled. Thirty-six hours later he gave himself up. The Vancouver Sun continues the story: "By then the possibilities open to the prosecution were consider- ably reduced. Manslaughter with a maximum penalty of life imprison- ment was out. So were a number of other serious charges. It's diffi- cult to prove a driver was drunk 36 hours after an accident. "Moreover Hansen hadn't braked, either before or after he hit Mrs. Nielson. This robbed police of their pat method of calculating the car's speed by skid marks. "The prosecution had to settle for the charge of failing to remain at the scene of an accident. Hansen was jailed two years, the maximum for the offence. The charge and the penalties are the same under our Criminal Code whether a person, a vehicle or cattle in charge of a person are the victims." As the Sun points out, the hit- and-run offender, strolling into the police station with his lawyer after he's had time to sobber up, is just too clever for the public's good. It is difficult to argue with the paper's conclusion: "There is something wrong with the Criminal Code when, time after time, it makes hit-and-run pay... Surely the justice department can reframe this section so that hit- and run is an unappealing alterna- tive to stopping and facing the music." Immunization Week This is the 21st consecutive year in which National Immunization Week has been observed in Canada. The fight against the epidemic diseases never ends. Fortunately we have vaccines against several of the one-time killers such as diphtheria, smallpox, whooping cough, tetanus and poliomyelitis. This week affords a timely reminder that unless we use these vaccines, the diseases could become rampant again. Canada's record in connection with the epidemic diseases is, on the whole, good. For example, there has not been a case of smallpox in Canada since 1946. Last summer a case developed in a boy who was travelling from South America; fortunately, it was diagnosed early and there were no 'contacts. But too many Canadians are not vaccin- 'ated or too long a period of time has elapsed since their vaccination. She Osharwn Times T. 'L. WILSON, Publisher C.

But there can be no let-up in our vigilance -- in 1962 there were 71 cases of diphtheria, resulting in nine deaths. Polio, with the advent of vac- ines, has sown a rapid decline, but nevertheless there were 909 cases in Canada in 1960, with 83 deaths. Last year the number was reduced to 89 cases and seven deaths. A week or so ago there were 28 cases in Montreal and doctors feared that this might mean an, outbreak. Together, Salk and Sabin vaccines offer hope of complete eradication of polio from this country -- but too few adults avail themselves of the protection. Adults need protection for some of these diseases -- tetanus, small- pox and poliomyelitis. But few adults, except: those who have served in the armed forces or worked in special industry, have tetanus toxoid. Booster shots or adults are needed about every ive years to maintain immunity 'against tetanus, smallpox and polio.

Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Exactly 12 12 months ago, the first On- tario Sales Opportunity Mission, inaugurated by the Hon. Robert Macaulay, minister of econom- ics and development of the On- tario government, arrived in London. Now the first annievr- sary of that event has been marked with the arrival of the YOUR HEALTH eighth mission of this kind, a party of 13 Ontario buciness and industrial executives who have come over here in the search -for new markets for. their prod- ucts and at the same time to investigate opportunities of se- curing agencies for British goods for which there might be markets in Canada, and which they might be able to manufac- ture under licence in their On- tario plants. After being welcomed to Lon- don at a reception tendered at Pill No Substitute For Will Power By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: 1 keep thinking of the obese writer of a letter to your column to whom you offered no genuine help. If she has "will power" ade- quate to her needs, she wouldn't have writtén 'o you for help, would she? In view of the fact that obe- sity is one of our major health problems, what DO you recom- mend for people who are dia- betic and who crave food and alcohol and nicotine? Where is this craving rooted? In insecurity? Is it chemical? How can one achieve balance? Is psychiatry the only solution? I hope you will outline tangi- ble directions for the overweight diabetic who is also a chain smoker and problem drinker.-- P. Come, come. And slow down. I atm all in favor of science, and in favor of every medical aid that can be provided, but I don't think it is up to science, or to medicine, to try to pro- vide people with will power. This attribute is something that people must develop them- selves. There isn't any medicine in the world that will automa- tically make them do things that may not be easy. The person who hasn't. any will power isn't one who was born weak He is somebody who hasn't developed the potent al- ities with which he was born, Craving for food (I'm not sure "craving" is the right word) is without question a re- sult, with some people of their upbringing. They are raised as children wo eat fattening foods Or they are given food as an award, solace, celebration and everything else. They are trained by their upbringing to connect food with any sort of event. No wonder they acquire "eating habit." And it isn't easy to break, But they aren't brought up as children to indulge in alcohol and nicotine, not that I am under any illusions about the appeal of both of these. How- ever, when a person says he "can't quit," he cannot blame anybody else for acquiring the habit, He did 't himself! And whether he stops, or moderates, his use of these things is a matter of desire--he wants to enough to do so. Trying is one of the basic constituents of life. Time after time doctors have seen patients get well, despite massive prob- lems, because they wanted to live. They have seen as many patients die of relatively minor troubles because they wouldn't try to live. : For the diabetic who is a problem trinker, I can say only that he doesn't .want to live. Doesn't want to, that is, enough to do what he must do. The 4 chain smoking doesn't do him any good, of course, but it is not directly related to the dia- betes. Perhaps, if he won't give up alcohol, it really doesn't mat- ter whether or not he chain smokes. The alcoho! will, in this case, destroy him before the tobacco can do much harm. As a physician I will do all I can for anyone who is trying to improve his health. But [ decline to feel guilty because I can't. give him a pill that will take the place of will. power-- that is, take the place of having him iry to help himself, I agree that some cases of overeating, overdrinking, or over-anything-else, may be a psychiatric problem. But let's not forget that psychiatry, like any other branch of medicine, can do only so much. It can do a lot for the patient who wants to get better. It can't do much for the patient who, in effect, says: 'Do it all for me. I'm too weak and lazy to try to help myself." Dear Dr, Molner: Is breast- feeding detrimental to a wom- an's figure?--Mrs. J. No. Where sagging has been the complaint, this seems to be due to loss or increase of weight rather than breast-feed ing Note to Mrs, E.S.; husband "craves" lemon juice, let him drink it. It contains a lot of Vitamin ©. Disregard completely the nonsense from your neighbor that it will 'dry up the blood." GALLUP POLL If your Ontario House by Major J. §. Armstrong, agent - general for Ontario in Britain, the members of the mission will disperse.

The count of our labor force on July 20 showed 7,035,000 workers. Of these, 27% per cent were ' women, 4% per cent were with- out jobs and nearly 4% per cent of those with jobs were students and other teen-agers who had flocked on to the labor market in June and July. As our labor force achieves this mark, its composition is undergoing a subtle change. The Canadian woman is increasingly seeking to make her own inde- pendent career, and as she ushes her way into an expand. g field of jobs, the standard- QUEEN'S PARK Fes. " bearer more often than not is married, As automation brings a gra- dual shift from jobs requiring muscle to jobs requiring a nim- ble finger or quick eye, in some fields women are preferred to men. But there are still plenty of classifications in which man is supreme. The occupation "laborers" for example, sees men outnumber- ing women 15 to 1. As "farm- ers and farm workers,"' men outnumber women 8 to 1, As "craftsmen and production pro- cess workers," the balance. is 7 to 1. In the classifications "'log- gers" and "fishermen, trappers and hunters" and "miners and quarrymen," there are practi- cally no women. Though sur- ry Low-Key Campaign Fits Temperament By DON O'HEARN Toronto -- Premier John Robarts started his campaign on a low-key note. So much low-key that it had his supporters disturbed. And in the early stages of the cam- paign there was pressure on the premier to put more fight into his. efforts. But at the end of the road he was still essentially low-key. He appeared to get really mad once or twice. And in the latter stages he was good for a swing a night at pensions and Hon. Judy LaMarsh. But mosf of his campaign ap- pearances were relatively mild recitals of the record the government and his two years in office. FROST METHOD This approach probably was partly intentional strategy and also partly natural, The campaign strategists de- cided to use the same cam- paign approach as former pre- mier Frost used. That is they stressed informality as much as possible, with a great deal of coffee and tea and hand-shaking and not too much speech-mak- ing. They even out-did Mr, Frost. For the former premier usually made at least one lengthy TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept, 26, 1963... The Queen Mary, the first British liner to exceed 1,000 feet in length, was launched 20 years ago today--in 1034 --after a royal christening in Glasgow, Scotland. The $1,235-ton giant of the seas captured the Atlantic Blue Riband from the French vessel Normande four years later, crossing the At- lantic at an average speed of 31.7 knots, taking 4% days. In July, 1952 the American liner United States captured the Blue Riband, making the cross- ing at 35.59 knots (about 41 miles an hour) in three days, 10 hours and 40 min- utes. 1945--Composer Bela Bar- tok died 1815--Austria, Prussia and Russia formed the Holy Al- liance. speech a day. But for the most part Mr. Robarts kept his rela- tively short, He concentrated more on making a number of brief stops--many more than Mr. Frost used to make--and trying to bolster up his work- ers, The natural factor enters in that this is probably in line with Mr. Robarts' character and temperament. He is by nature a patient and courteous man and one not in- clined to slugging. STRESSED ADVERTISING Actually the PC campaign this time stressed advertising and promotion rather than leader- ship appeal, or local organiza- tion. The party spent a great deal of money on advertising, more probably than any campaign Ontario has seen, provincial or federal, but candidates were crying for more money, -- This was in contrast to the Liberals who, with much less money, concentrated most of it on the leader and local organ- ization. i prisingly there are 22 female 'mine laborers," six in B.C., -- five in Ontario and the balance ~- scattered elsewhere. 5 This, in mid - 20th century, ~ sounds like a social horror ex- pounded by the novelist Charles Dickens; bui no doubt these women are not harnessed to mine trucks in underground tun- nels--as they might have besn in a Dickens story. In "sales occupations," the ~ ratio is about 3 to 2, with men . outnumbering women. In '"'cleri- cal occupations,""' the immense preponderance of women em- ployed as stenographers and typists gives their sex a 3-to-2 edge. "Service and recreation occu- pations" sees the sexes in al- most exact balance. Large num- bers of able-bodied men are employed as firemen, police- men, watchmen and in the armed services; many are em- ployed as janitors. And, believe - it or not, they outnumber ~ women in. jobs as "cooks." Women are employed in large ~ numbers, and on regular wage- paying jobs, as domestic maids, waitresses and building clean- ers. In the whole field of com- merce and industry, man pre- dominates in the role of man- ager, outhumbering women 9 to 1. But in professional and tech- nical occupations, woman is creeping up fast. She is out- numbered only by 4 to 3 in the © range of such jobs as engineers, scientists, religion, law, the arts, social welfare etc; wom- an's total is brought up here by her dominance in the field of teaching, and also as "health professionals."' Surpris- ingly, Canada does have 17 fe- male judges and magistrates. The reason why woman is moving out of the home and into office and workshop is complex. In some cases it is the result of the increase in higher edu- cation; household chores unre- lieved are a killer for a gradu- jate of high school and univer- sity. In many cases the impell- ing motive is to keep up with the Joneses; the mortgage and the instalment payments on the car and the TV and the deep- freeze, not to mention the monthly cost of last summer's "play now, pay later" holiday travel--all these impose a bur- den which even the record high pay packet of the husband can. not carry. ; And finally, the expansion of the service industries is throw- ing open many geen: or sea- sonal jobs which are aptly filled by older women. These are just what many mothers, bored in their empty nest after the young have flown, desperately need. BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO T. H.
