She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1963-----PAGE 6 Romans Had An Excuse But We Dont Have One In an address to the annual meet- ing of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, President. Victor Oland said "The Chamber believes that the rising level of government ex- penditures in Canada, which is outstripping the rate of increase of national income and national pro- duct substantially, is approaching the saturation point." Mr. Oland is presenting Cana- dian business's oft-voiced com- plaint against high taxes, on busi- ness says the Vancouver Sun but just the same there's a lot to be said for the thesis that taxation, its increasing incidence and its maldistribution, rank with the Bomb and automation as a lead- ing problem of our age of anxiety. The Sun argues: Taxation may not have caused the Roman Empire to decline and fall. But it certainly helped. In the end, tax policy in ancient times had the effect, of numbing initiative and drying up its own sources. A wise tax policy is within the reach of every government. But it is admittedly. more difficult in a federal state such as Canada to achieve wise policy, because of the conflict between the various levels of government, Our provincial gov- ernments are so excessively greedy for spending money that some would strip the central power of most of its resources, thus under- mining national unity. The Romans had this eacuse for their failure to achieve an econ- omic system of taxation -- they lacked means of exploiting their natural resources and they lacked experience. Canadians can't use this excuse but they suffer a dis- advantage the Romans did not have -- a party system which puts a premium 'on lavish promises to do great things for the public with that public's own wealth. The Romans would have despised economic science, if they had had any. Modern governments feel they have a duty to stimulate the na~- tional economy. They try to use ~ taxes as one of the stimulants, but so long as the taxation system is in such a chaotic state, and so long as the tendency to bribe voters re- mains the leading feature of party politics, success is likely to be limited. Maybe things are not as bad as Mr. Oland submits -- not yet as bad as in the fifth century A.D. -- but his attack contributes to an indictment not only of our taxation system but also of the politicians who fail either to control or re- form it. Job For An Ombudsman The inquiry and report into the Profumo scandal by Lord Denning failed to confirm the wild, rumors about misconduct in high places that were circulating in London. Bat the Denning inquiry is seen by some responsible British news- papers as a strong argument in favor of the appointment of an ombudsman or parliamentary com- missioner for Britain. The Denning report blows away a cloud of vile suspicion, says the Manchester Guardian. "The report ought to be a guillotine on gossip. It ought to free public life in Britain of the contagious disease that has infected it for months past. We can now concentrate on real issues -- on economic growth, on efficient planning, on how to build more houses, on defence and the Atlantic Alliance, and on the quality of poli- tical leadership." At the same time, says the Guardian "the Denning inquiry was a one-man' inquisition. Lord Denning himself speaks of its limi- tations. 'I have had to be detective, inquisitor, advocate and judge, and it has been difficult to combine them.' "He says, however, that in private witnesses were frank, he could check their evidence more freely, and publicity was not given to 'aspersion cast by witnesses against others.' To this extent his inquiry was preferable to a tribunal, which must be held in public except when security is directly affected. "Even so, the form was not satis- factory. The evidence was not taken on oath, the findings were not sub- ject to appeal, and the procedure did not immediately command public confidence. "Once again the lack of a 'parlia- mentary commissioner' (or om- budsman) is felt. 'More than two years ago the Whyatt Report proposed a practical way of instituting one. The gov- ernment ought to think again about it. A commissioner, with experience of his role, could provide a fairer form of investigation." Subversive Hootenanny Sen. Kenneth Keating of New York had a ball recently, Ted Lip- pman reports in the Atlanta Con- stitution. He made a speech about an or- ganization out in California that has asked Congress to. investigate folk singers. Folk music, the Cali- fornia outfit said, is "an unidenti- fied tool of Communist psychologic- al warfare." Keating delivered an address in the U.S. Senate entitled "Mine En- emy, the Folk Singer." With ton- gue-in-cheek, he told of his invest- igation of folk music. He found he The Oshawn Times T. &, WILSON, Publisher C.

For instance, he said, what about Yankee Doodle? It was once used to urge people to run an embargo. He went on from there to dis- cuss, Wake Up Darlin' Cory and My Daddy He Made Whiskey / My Granddaddy Did, Too/ We Ain't Paid No Whiskey Tax/Since 1792. Such songs "brainwash" people in- to disliking revenue officers, Keat- ing said. What about Gonna Lay Down My Sword and Shield Down By The River-Side? Keating asked. Unilateral. disarmament is being preached there, oh so covertly. Keating "said" the words of all folks songs. He first said he didn't want to sing them on the Senate floor because there. was probably a Senate rule against hootenannies. Told by Sen. Hubert Humphrey that there was not, Keating then said that considering his voice the songs were "better said than sung." Keating ended on a serious note: "This resolution (by the Cali- fornia group) is but another de- monstration of the absurd lengths to which amateur ferrets of the radical right will go in their quixotic sallies against the Com- munist menace." REPORT FROM U.K. Scots Community Grows In England By M. McINTYRE, HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times Corby, Northamptonshire -- Right in the heart of England, a new Scottish town has grown up in Corby. This is a busy town, made more so in recent years by the development of the steel industry within its boundaries. It has a population of 41,000, but native English oeople are very much in the minority here. More than half of the 41,000 are Scots, steel workers and their families attracted down to this steel town by the lure of weil- paid jobs at a time when unem- ployment was rife in their own country. The remainder of the population is a mixture of native English, Lithuanians, Estonians and Latvians from the Baltic States, the occasional Armenian, and in their number is one North American Indian who had his roots in Canada. So this town of Corby has come to be known as 'Little Scot- land", or "The English town with a Scottish accent." Only a few hundred yards from the lovely open English countryside, visitors to the modernistic town centre can hear some of the broadest Scottish accents to be heard anywhere. One of the delights of the town is to hear a young Latvian boy- there are 600 Latvians in Corby- speaking with an accent which would be quite natural in Glas- gow or Aberdeen. STARTED BEFORE WAR The Scottish invasion of Nort- hamptoshire is not of recent or- igin, It started before the last war, when the steel firm of Stewarts and Lloyd picked Cor- by as a site for new steelworks. Almost, at once the Scots came pouring in from the firm's works in Glasgow. Since then, the steel works have expanded beyond recognition, and along with them the town, The Scots have continued to regard it as their own little enclave. Within the last few years, however, the trickle of Scots to the town became a flood, until they numbered more than half of its population, And with them they brought their own native customs, with the observance of Hogmanay, St. Andrew's Day and Burns suppers, with haggis and the bagpipes, and their broad accents. Despite the mixture of races GALLUP POLL in Corby, disagreements are few. About the only source of complaint comes from the Scots who are threatened with dismis- al if they come in late for work on the morning after their Hog- manay first-footing expeditions around the town to welcome & new year. Some firms, however, diplomatically avoided this issue by closing down on January 1, or allowing the Scots to have that day off when possible. YOUR HEALTH The Scottish influence is ev- erywhere in Corby, Over half of the town council, including the chairman and vice-chairman, are Scots. So are half of the magistrates, many of the police, and even the taxi-drivers will tell the inquiring visitor, with pride, of their Scottish ancestry. Scottish football means much more to this town than does the game in England. Clubs like Rangers, Celtic, Motherwell and even Aberdeen have their. sup- porters' clubs in the town. Sports, politics, business, soc- ieties -- in Corby all of these have a distinctly Scottish flav- or "I often think I am 'still living in Scotland," was the comment of a Stirling-born teenager. And there are many non-Scots here who think the same thing. Vitamin Dosages Depend On Needs By Joseph G. Molner, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My _ teen- age son has been taking 50,000 units of Vitamin A daily. The dosage has cleared up the com- plexion nicely. I'm told that to continue might make the hair fall out, stunt growth, etc. Please enlighten.--Mrs. J.A.S. Here's another example that medical science is not a right or-wrong or yes-or-no art. Many good drugs contain an element of risk, too, Their use can be accurately decided only by a physician who is aware of the circumstances--the need for the medication, the peculiarities of the patient, and the visible signs at the moment. Thus I certainly cannot say you should or shouldn't discon- tinue the Vitamin A, but I can give you some understanding of the considerations which often apply Vitamin A. does, in many cases, help clear adolescent skin troubles.. It has worked with your son and that's fine. But toxicity can develop from jarge doses, too. Yellowish dis- coloration of the skin, loss of hair (this is temporary) and bone changes are among the symptoms, : Hence I suspect that if your son has received too much Vi- tamin A, you would already be noticing some of the symptoms. The dose you specify, how- ever, is average for such a con- dition, You don't say whether the warning of possibie side effects Little Change Revealed In Support y THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Political attitudes appear fair- ly stable as compared to the standings in last April's Federal election.

If it is from the former, he may have decided (with the original skin condition cleared) to. interrupt the conti- nuous use of the Vitamin A pe- riodically, perhaps for-a week or 10 days, to avoid its exces- sive accumulation i the sys- tem. This is one way to main- tain the benefits and to avoid the risk of side-effects. Alternatively, a smaller dose, perhaps half as large, should be considered or, since the skin has cleared, the vita- min might be discontinued en- tirely. Without knowing the patient, I can't advise, that a medication should or shouldn't be given. The facts.must be weighed to arrive at the right answer. Dear Dr. Molner: My doctor says I have a hiatus hernia that isn't operative. Just why can't surgery correct it?--Mrs. G M, I don't know why he said that, but I presume he has a good reason, Hiatus hernia is a de- fect which allows<part of the stomach to squeeze up through the aperture in the diaphragm through which the gullet passes. In most cases it can be cor- rected surgically, 'but in the greater number of them it, can be corrected or controlled with- out an operation. Are you one of those patients who hunts for an excuse to de- mand an operation, or one who won't give conservative (and in- expensive) treatment a, chance before resorting to surgery? To Show Theatre Gifts ST, STEPHEN, N.B. (CP) -- Until five years ago the young people of New Brunswick had little opportunity to express their theatrical talent. Seldom were they afforded the chance to study live theatre first hand. Opportunity came with the establishment of the province's first professional summer stock theatre, at Deer Island in the Bay of Fundy near' the Maine- New Brunswick border. In 1959 Philip Wentworth of New York and Miami and a company of 15 professional New York actors opened a small theatre on the island. , It seated only 150 and the stage was cramped. But the setting had a historic flavor. The building had been used for more than 50 years as a rural school. At various times before that it had been a community hall, a recruiting station for the British Army. In the room where the cast put on their makeup the Red- coats had been briefed before attacking the Irish radical Fe- -- more than 100 years ear- er, STUDENTS TUTORED In the first year Wentworth hired and tutored 10 high school students, Most received both backstage and onstage training and played bit parts. And if the surroundings didn't inspire them, the proximity to live drama certainly did. After one season a theatre tent was attached to the build- ing, increasing seating capacity to 250 and more than doubling the stage area. The playhouse was forced to move from its island location after four years because water. transportation problems made it difficult to get audiences to the performances. But by then word had spread that here was a chance to learn about the theatre from the in- side, And when the theatre opened in the Milltown Elemen- tary School auditorium near here last July, Wentworth was besieged with requests from all parts of the Maritimes for parts in his productions. Some asked to work for noth- ing just to be able to live and work in a theatrical atmos- phere. IMPORTANT TO YOUNG This attitude is one that Went- worth understands and ap- proyes, "I was very young when I first went into the theatre," he says, 'and I know how impor- tant the expression of theatri- cal talent can be to a young p rson." His career dates back to the 1930s when he appeared in a number of Broadway produc- BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO October 17, 1933 New York Americans hockey team started their pre-season training at the Oshawa Arena.
