She Oshawa Times 'Published, by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1963--PAGE 6 Trustees Equal To Job With Proper Backing The three trustees named by the federal government to control five maritime unions have been given an enormously difficult job, but their past conduct and experience indicate they are capable enough to -handle it. The only matter which may still be in doubt is the will of the federal government to give the trustees the necessary backing -- a doubt raised by the hesitancy of the government in its handling thus far of the maritime affair. Four of the five unions, of course, will give the trustées no trouble. The fifth, the Seafarers -- or rather, the notorious boss of the SIU, Hal Banks -- will give them all sorts of trouble. But with the firm support of the federal author- ity, they should be able to handle the puppet master Banks. Charles Millard made his reputa- tion as a labor leader in Oshawa in the 1930s. He has enhanced that reputation since. His work with the young UAW and later the Steel Workers denionstrated his tough- ness and resourcefulness. No one, including Hal Banks, is going to push him around. Mr. Justice Dryer has been both prosecutor and mediator, and has done both successfully. He is one the West Coast's top experts in labor jurisprudence. Prior to his ap- pointment to the judiciary, he regu jJarly represented unions in their legal battles with corporations. As a prosecutor, he acted for the Crown in the bribery and conspiracy trial of Robert Sommers, former B.C. minister of lands and forests who was sentenced to five years in prison. Judge Rene Lippe, who only a short time ago successfully me- diated the longshoremen's dispute, is described as a quiet, patient but tenacious man -- and like a lot of quiet, patient men, not a person to be taken lightly or pushed around, He, too, has a long record of me- diation in labor disputes. If the SIU bosses run true to torm, they will do everything they can to destroy the good reputations of these men. But Canadans with any knowledge of labor affairs will not be deceived. A Mess Of Potage . By REV. F. G. ONGLEY St. George's Anglican Church Man, woman is thy name Esau? Esau, you remember, was the brother of Jacob who sold his birth- right for a mess of potage. What a fool! But any more a fool than North American who is in danger of selling his birth- right -- man- hood? And what is manhood? Surely it is the innate dignity of a person with the gift of moral responsibi- lity, the gift of individuality, the gift of personal decision, the gift of responding to beauty and good- ness, and above all, the gift of the possibility of the friendship of God. We have developed a way of life which so readily offers us a cheap substitute for our essential manhood a genuine "made in North America product of man" who is not really man but a producer, a consumer, a worker, a sex monger, who buys "beauty or happiness" from bottles ot every kind. Was any generation so tempted to sell its essential man- hood for so little? Like Esau we are being contronted with a selling proposition that affects the very basis of our lives both as individu- ais and members of a society. Let us not be sold short on our man- hood. Ship's Violent Summer Many people seem to have been impressed by the orderly manner in which members of the SIU demons- trated against trusteeship at Ot- tawa this week. They were impres- sed,in other words, by the sight of SIU members obeying the law. But the government has termed the SIU walkout illegal -- and that means the demonstrators were breaking 'the law by being in Ottawa instead ot on theih\ ships. The SIU members were clearly obeying orders, proving once again the tightness of Hal. Banks's grip on this pitiful excuse for a union. 'rhe three trustees named by the government to take temporary charge of the affairs of the mari- time unions will not be deceived by the superficial display of discipline py SIU members. Those who night be deceived should think back to the Norris report, and to the exper- lences of the Canadian grain ship Howard L. Shaw through a long, violent summer. 'the Howard L. Shaw, an Upper Lakes vessel manned by Canadian Maritime Union members, put into the port of Chicago last April in defiance of a boycott by the SIU. The Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

Before she pulled out of Chicago atter the dynamiting of a hole in ner hull in early September, the Shaw had waited five months for a cargo. The U.S. government secured a series of court orders to halt opposition to the loading, but the unions involved simply ignored the courts. The port council, con- trolled by the SIU, forced the Shaw to make trequent changes of moor- ing, to use up her coal supply; tugs refused to assist the ship, and bridge operators kept her waiting. The 59-year-old watchman for a coal company that dared put fuel on the Shaw was expertly beaten -- two broken legs, broken arm, frac- tured skull. Thugs caught one of the Shaw's crew alone on the water- tront and put him into hospital for a month. Crewmen avoided taxis and bars because identification could lead to an ambush. Shots were tired at the Shaw by unidentified marksmen, That is the sort of thing which led to the appointment of the trus- tees, Other Editors' Views THROWING THE BOOK (Hamilton Spectator) The majority of law-abiding citi- zens will wonder if three months in jail is a severe. enough sentence for a young man from Burlington who assaulted a police officer.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The long-drawn- out tussle to decide who was to succeed Harold Macmillan as leader of the Conservative Party and prime minister was quite out of character for the staid and dignified Tory party. In years past, when there had to be a change of the prime minister or the party leader, it had all been settled quietly behind tightly-closed doors, and only when the new man was summoned to Buck- ingham Palace and given his seals of office did the public know on whom the mantle of office had fallen. How different has been the upheaval which preceded the naming of the new prime mun- ister. From the day Mr. Mac- millan announced his intention of resigning until he was finally able to advise the Queen who to call as his successor, every move of each of the aspirants to the office was recorded in banner headlines in the national press. ay Much of what appeared in these papers was pure conjec- ture, b e di were still going on behind closed doors. But the whole matter was treated almost like a major prize fight, with the odds on the contestants pub- lished from day to day, public THE BEAR CAME teDp Vaan WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Sudbury Star: A farmer look- ed over his land and found it to be good. The fertile fields basked in the warmth of early spring and the frost was late in coming in that part of the coun- try. . "Ah," said the farmer, "what lovely soil, How fine it will be to grow an abundant crop that I can sell to feed and clothe my family!" Accordingly, the farmer bought seed and plants and by his own labor, and that of his family and hired help, watched the crop grow to maturity. Mother Nature warmed the young plants with sunshine and quenched their thirst with soft, gentle rain. And the farmer looked forward to the day when the crop would be harvested, when his table would be plenti- fully supplied with food and he would rest in comfort as the bit- ter winter gales howled outside his house. But it was not to be! His fields were invadee by men who ruthlessly destroyed the crop. When the farmer sought to pro- test he was told: 'You have no right to grow this crop unless we say so. It is the law, and the law is on our side." And so, the farmer stood helplessly by while his crop was destroyed. This must have happend in Russia? In a Communist coun- try? It is a fable? True, it may be considered as a hypothetical case. But, not in Russia or a Communist coun- try -- hut in Ontario! The On- tario Supreme Court has con- firmed the powers of the On- tario Flue-Cured Tobacco Grow- ers Marketing Board. This Board has askd for, and has been given the power, to go into farmers' fields and destroy un- authorized crops of tobacco. It has the power to control the growing and marketing of On- tario tobacco. ° This is democracy? This is the free enterprise system as it works in Ontario? Each mem- ber of the Ontario Legislature who gave his support to legisla- tion of this nature, and who pro- fesses belief in democracy, might exam'ne his conscience before he next speaks of the "democratic rights' or dem- ocracy. Ottawa Journal: The Canada Gazette shows 'hat the net out- standing unmatured debt of Canada on July 31 was $18,037,- 200,000. That represents about $1,000 per Canadian. The increase in the total since last year was $1,604,200,000 or some $90 per capita, The debt is not an abstraction, a problem we can pass on to our grandchildren, The rise in the national debt means more cost to the taxpayer, forthwith. In 1962-63, interest onthe public debt cost $882,000,000 or $79,000,- 000 more than in 1961-'62. In 1963-'64, unless there is a mir- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 26, 1963...

Even now the charges on the public debt are the second larg- est item of budgetary expendi- ture. Only defence costs more. Governments incur debt ia the public interest, especially in wartime. During a_ recession, economists say it can be a gove- rnment's duty to borrow and to spend for the public good. But the debts incurred by a gov- ernment can become intoler- able. Th interest load on taxes becomes so heavy that neces- sary programs have to be cur- tailed. A Morrisburg correspondent asks what we consicer to be the difference between govern- ment and private debts. In the end there is no difference. A country which allows iis debt to get out of hand is in trouble. With the annual bill for interest approaching $1,000,000,000 Can- ada feels the weight of debt obligations. Vancouver Sun:. In British law, we have always been told, a man is presumed innocent until he is found guilty. But there are sceptics who accept this legal point with a' grain of salt. These are likely to say that no matter what the law books or the legal tradition say of the matter, a man who is acquitted of crime is going to have a hard time living down the fact that he was accused in the first place. It's surprising -- though it shouldn't be -- to find an impor- tant Scottish justice, Lord Kilbrandon, whose title is Lord of Session in the High Cowt, saying much the same thing, while speaking on the subject of guilt and punishment. at a con- ference on delinquency in Perth- Shire last week. Lord Kilbrandon's point was THE MOUNTAIN that people are all too often" prosecuted unjustifiably. It was all too easy, he said, to take the line that the presumption of innocence is 'a shield against such 'oppression. In fact, a gross injustice has already been done when an innocent man is accused. This is a subject to think about when we debate the sub- jects of legal aid to the poor or the advisability of appoint- ing public defenders as well as public prosecutors in criminal cases. It would be interesting to hear some of our Canadian judges speak on these topics, especial- ly to hear their reaction to Lord Kilbrandon's saying of the inno- cent man: "He leaves the court almost certainly suffering more or less mental damage, extensive finan- cia] lesion, and a permanently impaired reputation. "Errors will, of course, hap- pen, but do we take enough trouble to see that they don't happen?" This last remark would seem directed to police authorities and to the law officers of the Crown, However, the whole of the Lord of Session's remarks is supremely interesting. Anyone familiar with police and court procedure -- and with the vaga- ries of public response to orimin al trials -- knows full well what he is talking about. An acquittal in court estab- lishes a man's legal innocence, but there are all too many peo- ple who will shake their heads knowingly and whisper, or shout, that there must have been something in it or the police wouldn't have arrested him in the first place. This is the worst injustice. One day, perhaps, society may deem it fair and just to offer an innocent man_ financial redress, but it can never erase the stigma of what Lord Kil- brandon calls unjustifiable pros. ecution.

Father F Fitzpatrick. E, L. Petley was appointed chairman of the YMCA mem- bership campaign, The objec- tive was 750 members. The Dominion Bridge Com- pany was awarded the contract of building a new 500,000 gal- lon water tower near Simcoe street north. The members of .the Oshawa Hunt Club took their annual trip nurth for hunting deer and moose, Mayor W. J. Trick announced that the contract' for the in- stallation of a new heatng plant at the fire hall, police « station and town hall was awarded to G, H. Annis, local plumber. J. G; Adams, principal of the High School, was appointed principal of the industrial night classes. The Barney Google Club, a social organization, was formed for office workers in General Motors. Frank Chester was elected first president. Ronald W. Bilsky, D.C, CHIROPRACTOR @ Rheumatism @ Migraine Headaches 100 King St. E. 728-5156 J.

Residents of Thornton's Cor- ners were pleased to see the Kingston Road finished into Oshawa as travel had been in- convenient entering the town. The General Motors Baseball team, winners of the Durham ind Ontario League Cham- pionship, were given a banquet at Welsh's Parlors, Among those taking part in the after dwner speeches were Ernie Parsons, V. 0.

In actual fact, it was not like that at all, but the fact that the processes of consultation by which Tory leaders are chosen went on for so long gave the press the opportunity of creat- ing an entirely new image of the Tory methods of choosing their leader. After coming through the past week or two of rumors, guesses, speculation and open betting on the result, one can only express the view that the Labor party's method of having their leader chosen by a free and open elec- tion by the elected MPs is much more democratic than the Con- servative system of behind the door diplomacy. DENNING REPORT DEBATE With Mr. Macmillan out of office, and a new leader tak- ing charge of affairs, the forth. coming debate on the report of Lord Denning on the Profumo case is bound to become rather a damp squib instead of a heat- ed explosion. In calling for the debate, Har- old Wilson, the Labor leader, had all his guns trained on Mace millan. He. was determined to attack Mr, Macmillan on the ground that he had been in- competent in his handling of this sordid affair. With Mr. Macmillan out of the picture, however, such an attack would be entirely pointless, and the leader of the opposition would QUEEN'S PARK have little or nothing to gain by training his guns on any of the other cabinet members. So the unfortunate fact of Macmillan's ey! which caus- ed his retirement from the high- est office in the land has not only damped the powder of the opposition, but has made the debate seem to be hardly worth while. The public is sick and tired of hearing of this discreditable affair, and would much rather have it forgotten than have it all re-hashed again in a fruitless House of Commons debate which will get nobody any- where. FARES STILL HIGHER The British travelling public will probably be faced with yet another increase in rail, under- ground tube and bus fares be- fore the end of the year. These increases are regarded as in- evitable because of new wage claims which have been made by the unions representing the workers on these transporta- tion systems. It looks as if the vicious circle will take still an- other turn, and the public will have to pay for it. The transport workers union is asking for an unspecified in- crease in pay and a 40-hour week. The National Union of Railwaymen has followed suit. The bus employees' union in London is asking for a weekly increase of $4.50 a week, a shorter work week and an addi- tional week of holidays. While it is not at all likely that the men's demands will be granted in full, some conces- sions will undoubtedly be made to them in order to keep the trains, tubes and buses in oper- ation. This can mean only. one thing from the standpoint of the public still higher fares. Spokesmen for the railways and bus undertakings say that pres- YOUR HEALTH round of stop-go policies in the national economy unless trade unions co-operate fully on. in- comes policies with whatever government is in power. This view arises from the declara- tions made by certain union leaders that they would not co-operate with a Conserya- phd pa sg - a hoy re- straint policy, but might change their views if a cae govern- ment comes into power. An article in the Associa- tion's journal, "British Manu- --. says: ' "It is apparently acceptable to the tobe aetens 0 F even in the field of incomes if it is done by a Labor govern- ment, but this is anatema if carried out by a Conservative government. The logic of this approach is hard to follow. Put ' if it is adopted by the unions it would not be unreasonable for the employers to be willing to co-operate with a Conservative government, but not with a Labor one. ' "Let us not be put off be cause one political party or the other is in power or we shall have stop-go policies of another variety which will be open to even stronger objections than those about which we have complained in the past." Eating Emotional Release For Many By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What's your opinion of crash diets when peo- ple go into the hospital and con- sume only coffee, tea, bouillon and vitamins. Even under a doctor's care, isn't this danger- ous? The dieters lose from 10 to 12 pounds a week.--MRS. BEJ. T. That sort of regimen is not what I call a crash diet. It's controlled starvation! To me, a crash diet is a quickie type that lets you lose enough in a week so that you can fit into a snug dress for Susie's wedding. Nearly 100 per cent of the time, such a crash dieter then regains the lost weight by going right back to former eating habits. Possibly we could call these Insurance Rates Provoke Thought By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--This is cause for thought. At an insurence agents con- vention here some figures were given out on the auto insurance industry. It on reported that in Can- ada last year 71.57 per cent of premium income was paid out in claims. i This, it was said, was a loss. Anything over a 64 per cent pay-out represented' a loss to the industry. In Saskatchewan there is a government auto insurance plan, It is reported that it pays out at least 84 per cent of pre- iums. 'Automobile insurance rates ia Ontario have be rising contin- sly and sharply. weShould we perhaps think more seriously about a government plan? : Or are there critical. weak- messes in the Saskatchewan ap- ach? Pith writer at least would like to see the private insurance in- dustry put forward its side of the case so we can see just what there is to it. Certainly at first glance Sask- atchewan's program looks at- tractive. WOMAN MINISTER? Male politicians will never admit it publicly but really they don't like women in politics.

But actually there is quite a sigh of relief when the various women candidates in the elec- tions get defeated. The feeling is that another potential source of trouble has been eliminated. For the common impfession of the usual woman politician is of an aggressive female who will argue strongly, firmly and persistently for pet points sol- idly based on feminine illogic. This House has a woman member, Mrs. Ada Pritchard, PC from Hamilton Centre. And. the usual strikes thrown at the other sex don't apply in Mrs. Pritchard's case. She is a grandmotherly type, mild, intelligent and personable.

EVERYONE'S RUSHING TO -- BIG ame | © Oct. 31, Nov. 1 & 2 crash diets "modified" starva- tion. People. who go to a hospital and reduce calorie intake to al- most nothing are in a some what different category. They are usually extremely obese and have been-unable to stop .eating--even though they are so heavy that it is an treme menana..te Ieee, healt After a day or two of starva tion, they lose their appetites and do not suffer hunger pangs. They are under regular tests and continuous observation, and if their body chemistry becomes harmfully deranged, it can be corrected. With such watchful- ness, this method is not dane gerous, particularly when su pervised by someone skilled ig such a form of reducing. The diet ordinarily does not. last more than about 10 days. Such vigorous (and expensive) methods are not necessary for the person who wants to lose a little, or even for the average fat person. This 'hospital star- vation" is for one in drastic need of reducing. Such a dieter learns (or we hope so, at least) that he doesn't need to eat as an emo- tional release--and this is thé important factor involved in most cases of extreme obesity. Ify the patient really learns this in the hospital, then there is at least the groundwork for beginning a moderately low calorie diet and sticking to it. Doubtless people who are only moderately overweight could, if they cared to pay the price, rey sort to these hospital starvation programs from time to time. But don't you think it is better to learn how to keep your weight down, instead of having it fluctuate and incidentally, al- ternately stretch and unstretch the skin? : The fundamental part of any reducing program is~or cer- tainly ought to be--to teach a person how to avoid getting fat again. : ~
