t ¥ Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1963----PAGE 6 Scandal And Promises Left Voters Unmoved : The results of this week's provin- icial election confirm what had been 'suspected during the campaign: 'The people of Ontario refused to iget excited and, having had a 'surfeit of elections over the past 'couple of years, stayed away from 'the polls in droves; they again de- 'cisively rejected the mud-slinging 'type of campaign; they refused to 'be dazzled by give-away promises and the pension pyrotechnics of 'Miss Judy LaHarsh. . There was general agreement at 'the start of the campaign that the 'Liberals particularly had a good chance to cut deeply into Conserva- tive strength. But the Liberal chance faded with each passing day 'as Mr. Wintermeyer conducted the clumsiest campaign in a decade. "The Liberal strategists started out to reveal a scandal-a-day, but in their haste to toss mud they forgot to check its consistency -- they mixed too much water and too little dirt for good throwing; and they seem to have ignored the fact that scandal-mongering has not been a productive vote-getting tactic in Ontario and Canadian politics for more than two decades, The main effect of the mud- tossing seems to have been the erosion in the public mind of the positive points in the Liberal plat- form. The frantic charges made headlines and conservation pieces, while the more sober thoughts failed to stick. Premier Robarts seldom struck back, and when he did it was with an air of sorrow that a good man like Mr.. Wintermeyer -should so demean himself; NDP leader Donald MacDonald, for the most part, stayed away from the mud wallows. And both profited in the way of votes. The LaMarsh pension scheme clearly aroused no great enthu- siasm in the electorate, and this should act as another warning to the federal government that there are grave doubts about many as- pects of the contributory plan. Questions And Answers BY REV. H. A. MELLOW Northminster United Church What really makes a community progressive, worthy of attracting industry and good citizens? This is a pertinent question that the people of Oshawa require to answer in teadiness for November 23. The Treason is that on that day we shall 'say "Yes" or "No" to three plebis- ¢ite questions. ' One question is: "Are you in favor of the establishment of Govern- tment stores for the sale of liquor?" (That means, Are you in favor of a Government liquor store or stores being established in the areas an- nexed by the City of Oshawa some years ago.) A second question: "Are you in favor of the sale of liquor under a dining lounge license for con- sumption with meals on licensed premises?" (That means, liquor by the glass with meals in hotels and taverns until 2.00 a.m.) The third question is: "Are you in favor of the sale of liquor under a lounge license for consumption on licensed promises?" (That means, liquor by the glass without meals, i.e. cocktail bars open' until mid- night.) We do well to ask, who desires to have these outlets? It is NOT the great body of social and moder- ate drinkers. It is NOT the Church- es. The answer must be that for the most part it is the folk who stand to profit in terms of dollars, and those folk whom they have persuaded with their propaganda. Let each ask him or herself: Will Oshawa be a more cultured and refined city, a better place for our children to mature, a commu- nity of more intelligent and indus- trious citizens WITH or WITHOUT these added outlets? Debt And Owners hip : Politicians of all parties publicly deplore the swift rise of foreign ownership of Canadian industry, but it has been deficit financing at' all levels of government, Professor Clarence Barber of the University of Manitoba economics department, shid in a brief to the Royal Com- mission on Taxation, that invited the problem. In the immediate post- war years, before the vast rise in gpvernment spending and when sur- pluses were employed to retire debt, foreign money paid for only 10 per cent of the country's net capital ex- penditures -- the funds spent on construction, machinery and equip- ment. But in the 1958-1961 period, foreign sources provided 56 per cent of such funds. Professor Bar- ber contends that this increased reliance on foreign capital was caused by over-spending and over- borrowing by governments, Certainly, the recent increase in government spending and borrow- ing has been astounding.

But in the four-year period 1958 to 1961, expenditures were $43 billion while revenues. were only, $40 billion -- leaving a déficit to be covered by borrowing of $3 billion, of which the provinces and municipalities accounted for slight- ly more than half. It was the nub of Professor Barber's belief that, when gov- ernment operate at a surplus and retire their debts, as in the early postwar years, the repaid money plus the accumulation of private savings is available for investment in economic expansion; conversely, when governments operate at a deficit, as in the 1957-1961 'period and since, their borrowings absorb the funds needed by industry and encourage an excess of foreign in- vestment. If total government spending continues to exceed rov- enues, warned Professor Barber, foreign ownership of our resources and industries must continue to grow. i Bible Thought Create in me a clean heart, O God ; and renew a right spirit within me. -- Psalm 51:10. After all, is not the deepest drive in us the drive for purity? Even when lust takes over? Let us follow David's repentance, in this Psalm of penitence. God is our refuge and strength, a very pleasant help in trouble. -- Psalm 46:1. This was Luther's great dis- covery.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Guelph Mercury: There are no.doubt many Ontario munici- palities today which are sym- pathizing with' Guelph over losing a prospective industry and are wondering whether, they too, are likely to have a similar experience. The Royal City had already given the hand of welcome to the Magnetic Metals of Canada Lid. as it started to build a new plant in Guelph, when it was suddenly turned over to Brantford, which Ottawa . had placed under the category of a "depressed "' area because it had a high rate of unemploy- ment. If such a listing is to bring federal government help toward increasing the number of industries in a community, then it would pay Guelph, to immediately move to have our city placed in that category, so we would also share in the government's efforts to bring new industries within our boun- daries. We do not blame the heads of the Camden, New Jersey, firm in suddenly deciding to leave Guelph as the site of their mew Canadian plant to locate in Brantford, when one consid- ers the many inducements that were offered. Magnetic Metals of Canada will be free of pay- ing income tax for the first three years it is in operation, and thén there is to be a fast two-year write-off of new ma- chinery and an_ accelerated depreciation on new buildings. What business could resist such an offer, as Ottawa handed out! It is said that the Mayor of Brantford expressed _resent- ment when he learned that his community had been placed in the "depressed" category, but today, no doubt, he is all smiles, and hopes that Ottawa will keep his city in the same standing and continue to hand out new industries. Comparing unemployment fig- ures and population, there is little difference between Brant- ford and Guelph, so perhaps the Prime Minister will be able to explain how his departments arrive at their classification in their effort to stabilize employ- ment in Canada. Welland Tribune: The English habit of walking for walking's sake puzzles lots of people, who may prefer, some more purposeful form of exercise, or none. Talking on a BBC broad- cast about his reason for this unreasonable pleasure, the well- known biographer Hesketn Pearson explained: "If you are in a happy mood walking in- creases your happiness; if in a depressed mood, it lifts your depression. So we find that nat- urally happy people take to walking like a duck to water, while naturally gloomy people use the exercise to escape from their gloom." Like the famous _ essayist William Hazlitt, who recorded that a "three-hour march to dinner over the green turf made him "run, leap and sing for joy, Hesketh Pearson's happiness in the exercise is often unrestrained. "I have occasionally startled people by the antics that signified my feel- ing of exhilaration.

The original source of Osh- awa's water supply passed into oblivion when the old spring on the property of the Williams Piano Co, at corner of~Louisa and Golf streets was drained. Residents on Alice, Athol and Arthur streets petitioned coun- cil for sidewalks to be laid on their respective streets. Dr. C. E. Wilson won the F.L, Fowke Cup defeating Dr. Cartwright at the Oshawa Golf Course. The price of butter and eggs showed a market increase at the town market, when eggs were selling at 45 cents a dozen and butter 42 cents a pound, Plans were under way for the formation of a Y's Men's Club in Oshawa. The organization would be the first of its kind in Ontario. Thomas Stapleton, trustee of Cedardale School, - announced that $1,800 which the school brought with it when taken into the town, would be used for beautifying the grounds. The Oshawa Board of Educa- tion awarded the contract of $246,000 for the proposed High Schoo! extension to a Brantford company. J. H. Beaton, sales manager of the McLaughlin Motor Car Co., took a business trip to Wes- tern Canada. The Oshawa Board of Health asked town council to extend the water mains on Ritson road north to insure a wholesome water supply to residents there. A new multiple switchboard was installed by the Bell Tele- phone Co. for General: Motors. TO Ansus-Graye CARPET COMPANY 282 King W . 728-9581 RUG CLEANING 135 SIMCOE ST.

HOSPITAL ADMINISTRA- TION IN CANADA; across Can- ada there are signs of disen- chantment with the work of nursing associations among the rank and file hospital nurses who make up the bulk of their memberships, So far, most of the incipient risings have been quelled or are kept under control by ac- tion at the association level. But the associations have been too much concerned with matters of professional status, education, and various trappings of organization at the expense of bread and butter issues like sal- aries, conditions of employment, and nursing administration that is in tune with modern nurs- ing arts. The tide of discontent at the grass roots is rising and threa- tens to become a flood. IRONICALLY, THOUGH hardly surprising, it is in To- ronto and the surroundng area that hospital nurses have most deliberately set out on the war- path -- not so much against their professional association but over the heads of their own leaders direct to the public and the political leaders, There is no unity in move- ment, yet it has a discernable shape arising out of generally recognized deficiencies in hos- pital nursing today. THE NEED TO ACTUALLY close down hospital wards due to the shortage of aurses is now generally admitted even at .the highest levels, Although cutting back the number of beds in service on some wards is still.a successful ruse, the euphemism 'closing down a ward for renovations" is now so transparent that it is becoming the established means for the timid to admit their staffing difficulties. COSMONAUT VISITS PARIS (Reuters) -- Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, the world's first spaceman, arrived here Friday from Moscow for a six-day visit.

Correspondent ' For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The news that the. Denning report on the Profumo case and associated matiers was to be published in full came as a complete surprise to politi- cal commentators and ob- servers. It had for weeks been predict- ed that there would be a verbal battle between Prime Minister Macmillan and Opposition lead- er Harold Wilson as to what should be published and what deleted from the report. The fact that their first meeting to discuss the matier brought a quick decision to publish the re- port in full caught these people by surprise, since it upset their predictions that there might be things in the report which the Prime Minister would not wish to have published. -Mr. Wilson has always held the view that only matters which might affect national security should be left out of the published version. The decision to publish the re- port in full means that Mr. Mac- millan was satisfied that noth- ing in it would be detrimental to the government, and to his handling of affairs as prime minister. At any rate, there is obvious relief in the Conservative ranks that it has been possible to pub- lish Lord Denning's report with- out any deletions. There have been so many rumors that there might be damaging disclosures concerning cabinet ministers and others in high places, and Tories feel much happier now that the report has been brought out in full, WILL BE DEBATED At the same time, there is bound to be a stirring debate in the House of Commons on the report, running into two days. Mr. Wilson is certain to seize on every possible crumb of ma- terial in it which he can use to attack the government. He has already committed himself to that course by a blis- tering attack which he made on Mr. Macmillan and the govern- ment, in which he charged them with interfering with justice for political reasons. In it he said: "There is widespread public concern that Mr. Macmillan does not have the regard which his office demands for that rigid distinction between the execu- tive government and the inde- pendent judiciary which is the foundation of British liberties.' When the House of Commons assembles, it is certain that Mr. Wilson will be challenged on this attack, and will have to justify it or lose face. So if he can find anything at ali in the Denning report to support his al- legations, it is certain that he will make the most of it in the Commons debate. ELECTION RUMORS A highly optimistic speech on the country's economy by Reg- inald Maudling, Chancellor of TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 28, 1963... Canada announced 12 years ago today--in 1951-- that she would go it aione, if necessary, on construc- tion of the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Coining a slogan, "Britain Can Do It", he sai the country would reach the tar- get of a four per cent annual expansion which had been set by the National Economic De- velopment Council. Mr. Maudling cited some pow- erful facts to back up his op- timism, The July index of in- dustrial production was 120, compared with 118 in June and 115 in July of last year. In the two months of June and July the index for manufacturing in- dustries was three per cent higher than in April and May. The rate of exports for the first six months of 1963 was six per cent more than in 1962, while imports were up by four per cent, And against the seasonal trend for the month of August, there was a drop of 17,000 in the number of unemployed. But Mr. Maudling added a warning to his optimistic review. He said: "Because we have controlled our costs, because we have be- come competitive at home, be- cause the rise in incomes has been restrained, we are able to sell more overseas. But -- the Prospects of expansion without inflation can be clearly under- mined if incomes once again rise to fast." LIBERAL DEBACLE The election of officers at the annual conference. of the Lib- eral party ended in a debacle, which resulted in no election be- ing held at all. It was found that the names of some candi- dates had been omitted from the ballot papers issued to the dele- gates. And there are complaints that while the number of regis- tered. delegates was about 1,600, the number of bailot papers issued had reached about 1,900. ference was fit to take over the government of the country. DREW RESIGNATION While it had been expected ever since the change of gov- ernment in Canada last spring, announcement of the im resignation of his Excellency George A. Drew as High Com- missioner for Canada in Britain has been received with regret in many circles in London, and ig by Canadians living There is a feeling here that Whi'e the letter of acceptanec written to Mr. Drew by Prime Minister Pearson expresses ap- preciation o fhis services to Canada during his six years in London, it does not begin to tecord the high regard which Mr. Drew has won for himself, and for Canada, during bis term of office in the British capital, Mr. Drew brought high intel- lectual qualities to the discharge o° his duties, and he has won approbation for the courteous and yet determined manner in which he has promoted Canada's in'erests at every opportunity, This was particularly noticeable during the negotiations for Brit- ain to enter the European Com- mon Market, when, without pre- suming to tell the British gov- emment what it should do, he time and again put before British audiences and the pub- lic the advantages to both coun- tries of expanded trade between Britain and Canada. His views on this subject were always widely publicized and listened to with great respect, READERS' VIEWS. YOGA PRAISED Dear Sir: Speaking about physical fit- mess to the average person is like talking to a wooden Indian, One of the finest methods I ever came across, forty years ago, was Yoga, postures and breathing method. Many silly ideas about this in the western hemisphere, such as walking om hot coals, stick- ing pins into oneself. This is not the idea at r.4, but control over mind and emoticns. Just imagine what would hap- pen to the country's crime rate, accidents, quarrels, fights, if this was adopted in the west, The posture and breathing method can be used by almost anyone. The mental method as applied, produces concentration, md and memory training (for any subject) and creative ac- tivity, business, personal, artis- tic, scientific, etc. The body muscles are toned, Joints loosened, many minor and major diseases banished. It can be used in the privacy of your home, in one roodm, in the of- ice, factory, inside and outside, even ona hospital bed -- this last is rather a delicate matter, and not without another's help. It strikes me as everyone has a right of choice, that people just love misery, as much of their own is self inflicted. One cannot go two ways physically, neither can they go two Ways mentally at the same time. One remains in a state of indétision, and frustration. If mental and physical dis- orders are decided upon by the average man and woman, then that is the right of their own choice. R. H. THURLWELL, Oshawa TWO MANORS Dear Sir: Re your caption under the pic- ture of 'Halliday Manor" resi- dents, the above building is not an institution. Many residenis have resented this. This is a housing development for Osh- awa's senior citizens. We pay rent and hydro bills and there are bachelor apartments and married couples apartments. Hillsdale Manor is the senior citizens home, and the two places get mixed up I think be- cause of the word 'Manor", Mail for here sometimes has been delivered to Hillsdale Manor. Oshawa E.
