| She Oshatwa Fimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1963-----PAGE 6 Community Awareness Must Not Be Limited This week saw two notable events in Oshawa. Once again the Greater Oshawa Community Chest reached its objective -- a record amount -- and the city's new Boys' Club building was officially opened. The Community Chest campaign was successful because of a well organized community effort, with scores of public-minded citizens working hard as committee mem- bers and canvassers to handle the innumerable time-consuming de- tails and a general public respon- sive to the appeal. The Boys' Club is not the result of a mass appeal to the public; the project was con- ceived and carried to success by a dedicated group of citizens. But both ' the Chest and the Club reflect an individual and general awareness both of the community's needs and the effort that must. be made to meet those needs. The Oshawa community showed the same sense of awareness when it responded to the Civic Auditor- jum campaign. It is superficial to pass off the community's response as the answer to obvious and pressing needs. A sluggish, selfish or apathetic com- munity either does not have any awareness of the needs or fails to respond to the appeals. It is curious, however, that this awareness does not extend to all areas of community life -- to municipal elections, for example. The record shows that a remarkable number of Oshawa citizens do not vote in municipal elections; one can only assume that they do not care how their municipal affairs are handled. Will this apathy extend to to- morrow's plebiscite on liquor out- lets? We hope not, because it is the sort of question which demands a decisive answer, a maximum re- gistration of community opinion. The Times has not taken sides, be- cause the answer must come from individual belief, individual con- science; the issue is not involved, the pros and cons are simple and have been clearly stated. But the sum of individual opinion is the community's will, and this can only be expressed by the vote. Our Wonderful System Health Minister Judy LaMarsh is the darling of the doctors who want an all-out campaign against smoking because they believe to- bacco is the main cause of an "epidemic" of lung cancer. When she took over the health portfolio Miss LaMarsh gave up smoking -- she had been a heavy smoker -- and now she says that her depart- ment is discussing the possibility of supporting with government funds a nation-wide anti-smoking campaign. Purpose of the cam- paign would be to persuade young people not to start a habit whica, according to the doctors, may in later years produce cancer, heart trouble or arterial ailments. In the meantime, however -- as the Peterborough Examiner points out -- the Agricultural Stabiliza- tion Board in Ottawa, an agency of government, has set the floor price of tobacco at a minimum of 47 cents a pound. Few growers this year will collect deficiency pay- ments because the average price has hovered around 52 cents a pound, but "tax funds stand avail- able to make tobacco farming profitable if necessary." The Exam- iner continues: "Also meanwhile, a Canadian tobacco trade mission, which visited Eastern and Western Europe and the Middle East in October, has returned. It found, to quote the Department of Trade and Com- merce, considerable interest in the purchase of Canadian tobacco. Some sales were negotiated. "How wonderful is the system which taxes tobacco heavily, sub- sidizes its growth, engineers its sales, and spends money to dis- courage its use!" Accidental Poisonings Accidental poisoning is on the increase, according to an article by Douglas R. Weston of the Canadian Pharmaceutical Association, in the current issue of Health magazine. Last year more than 16,000 cases of accidental poisoning were re- ported by 99 of the 222 Poison Control Centres in Canada, yet this figure is far from complete, be- cause many cases were treated at home by a doctor or a pharmacist and not reported to the PC centres. The leading cause of accidental poisonings, according to the records, has been acetylsalicylic acids and related compounds. Other major reasons for accidental poisoning, says the writer, include: Ignorance on the part of parents that the substance is toxic; inade- quate labelling of containers; storage of poisonous substances in unsafe places; transfer of danger- @us substances from the original pontainers to pop bottles, jars and other containers; carelessness in leavizg drugs or cleaning agents She Oshawa Sines T.

If a person does inadvertently take poison, it is of utmost impor- tance that a doctor, poison control centre or pharmacist be called im- mediately, it is pointed out. If they are not available, rush the victim to hospital and try to make him swallow milk or water -- but do not force it on him. Take the container of the toxic substance to the doctor or hospital so the nature of 'the poison can be quickly identified. Mr. Weston suggests, too, that parents get antidote charts, avail- able from the Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation, and paste them inside the doors of medicine cabinets. Other Editors' Views VOTING AGE DILEMMA (Peterborough Examiner) There are some sound reasons for, extending the franchise in this manner. Four provinces -- British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec -- already permit per- sons 18 and over to vote in prov- incial elections. In time of war, conscription usually starts at 18 years, and in most provinces, 18 is the age at which marriage with- out parential consent is permitted, But if 18 is going to be the age at which young people can marry, fight for their country, vote and stand for Parliament, can we con- tinue to fine and imprison them for drinking, and can we maintain the legal coming of age at 21? READERS' VIEWS LIQUOR VOTE Dear Sir: I appreciate the publicity The Oshawa Times has given the liquor plebiscite campaign for this Saturday. Jack Gearin may be justified in writing in the Good Evening column that the lack of activity in this cam- paign over the issue of in- creased liquor outlets 'makes this about the dv"lest campa'gn in many moons". Thousands of voters in Oshawa, however, have definite con-ictions on both sic-> of this issue and will be et the polling booths Saturday. The committee favoring an in- crease in liquor outlets main- tains that the liberalizing of the public's attitude toward the sale of liquor means "progress" and calls liquor outlets '"'refine- ments". My dictionary defines progress as "a gradual better- ment" and a refinement as 'a contrivance that perfects'. Where in the lo.g history of man is the. evidence that any type of liquor outlet has ever accomplished either of these? Communities make progress, I feel, not because of additional liquor outlets, but in spite of them. And I have yet to see this type of "'refinement" make a "perfect husband, wife, automo- bile driver, airplane pilot, lady or gentleman. If there is so much to be said in favor of additional outlets, why did the Oshawa Civic Pro- gress Committee change its mind about meeting the Know and Vote No Committee in the Forum Thursday night? Could the reason be as Abraham Loncoln put it, 'Liquor has its defenders, but no defence'? where were the defenders? More crumpled fenders, brok- en homes, and increased crime costs, for which liquor must take a high percentage of blame, do not spell "progress. They spell retrogression. And this calls for a Vote No on Sat- ceed R. KNAUFT Oshawa FARMER AND HUNTER Dear Sir: In regard to the so-called mounting tension between the farmers and hunters, I think very few people stop to realize or even begin to believe hunt- ing and fishing in this indus- trial part of Ontario is coming to a very fast end. As industry commences to expand and farmers are converting more land to agricultural use, hous- ing units are absorbing a vast quantity of formerly unused land, cover formerly a_ habitat of game is cut away, fields drained and tilled and creeks once the source of many good days of trout fishing are being pumped dry or very dangerous- ly low by the farmer who needs irrigation for his land.

"In old Babylon wives were accepted in payment of debts," says an archeologist. No doubt credit was pretty tight there and then. "Man is the only creature that prepares for the future," says a psychologist. He may know plenty about the birds, but he knows next to nothing about the bees. "As the population becomes denser and people associate more with one another, their morals become worse," says a sociologist. Of course -- people have a bad influence on people. been used before are now being commercialized more and more. Places which ten years ago held enough game for a day's hunt in one field, creeks which had many good trout, these are all gone or so close to gone it is only a matter of time, and game which has been lucky enough to exist has taken to the less popular places in our townships. Hunting today is or should I say has become a major in- dustry, and those who may scoff at this should have been in the north and not too far north this past couple of weeks, where one could stand on a store step or stop in any of the villages and observe the cars going by, at least three out of four held hunters. One who has seen this exodus becoming larger as the years go by, who has seen favorite hunting and fishing spots eaten up by agriculture, industry, housing, cannot but begin to wonder just when the benefits which we have left in the townships will cease to exist. Now this problem of farmer and hunter is becoming more and more acute, according to some of our more 'learned' sportsmen, some who, every time a hassle between sports- man and land owner crops up, has no one to blame but the immigrant, especially the "poor little Italian." I might say here and now this is pure "baloney," five of.our group. were immi- grants, first, or second genera- tion, and there to my satisfac- tion, was not a bit of "shoot at anything that crawls or moves." Each man was told at the begin- ning of the hunt "his safety and his buddies' safety was our main concern, ahd believe me, as a "dogger" for this group, I have never found a better example of sportsmanship. Due to very poor weather as we were only successful on three deer these three were: well and truly hit, and two of these fell to immigrants. So I find this shoot and crawl business very hard to believe, Is it not high time, these sporting clubs got together and decided since we must make room for progress and can't stop industry and development, we know our hunting rights are going to be infringed on? There always will be people dissatis- Rts Gsc = Se mae ww, 7 fied on both sides of the fence. Is it not possible to meet with the township fathers and farmers and set up a certain area as a game area, would the townships and the land owners not be happier, I know the true 'sportsman would at least know where he stands and not be wondering if all his tires would be up on his auto when he got back. There's a bit of this on both sides, and don't think there isn't. In closing I honestly believe if the game commissions sat down and figured out what it cost a sportsman for his game and the exercise he gains from it, an area agreeable to both sides and maintained as a game area at a fair cost to the hunt- er where he can exericise his hounds and self in no fear of-in- factions or causing suffering to anyone could be arranged. This could be a solution to the prob- lem now in existence, Or out- side of getting their name or picture in our local paper, do they actually care? Twenty years ago as a lad I trapped and hunted with the Chippawa Indians and one lesson I learn- ed from a brave was this 'If it is worth having, show consider- ation for it, leave something for tomorrow and the day after." You'd be surprised at the re- sults I have. seen. --SPORTSMAN. Oshawa. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 22, 1963...

BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Nov. Four short plays were pre- sented in Rotary Hall by mem- bers of the Oshawa Little The- atre under the direction of John Craig. The CNR announced that two special cars would be available for GMC officials - travelling from Oshawa to the opening of the new GMC million dollar plant in Regina. C. M. Mundy, C. French, D. F. Johnston and Dr. G. Trewin returned home from a successful hunting trip, each with a deer. Oshawa. citizens were thrilled by the meteor showers known as the Leonid shower from the constellation of Leo. Every 33 years the showers are particu- larly brilliant and 1928 was one of those years. Square dancing was held in the Oshawa Winter Gardens in conjunction with the Firemen's Ball held in the Armories. Warden G. Malcolm Forsyth of Ontario.

Wes Irwin, DD, president of the Collegio Internazionale, Rome, Italy, visited with his brother, Rev. A. M. Irwin and Mrs, Irwin at the North Simcoe Street United Church parson- age on Greta street. OTTAWA REPORT Samples Of Sense And Wit In House By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The remarks made by our politicians contain vivid examples of quick wit, horse sense, learning and abject self-revelation, Here are some recent examples which have mostly escaped general notice in our newspapers: "There are times when I am elmost afraid to kiss a baby lest someone look quizzically at me with the unspoken reaction: 'I didn't know there was an- other election on'!"" -- Prime Minister Pearson. "A civil service is thought to be perpetually in danger of strangulation by its own red tape. I have occasionally suf- fered from this danger. But I have also su'fered from the re- sults of impatient attempts to cut across tried and established procedures in the interest of a too narrow concept of effi- ciency. You can get your tooth YOUR HEALTH paste more quickly by squeez- ing the top of the tube, but the result is not to be recom- mended." Prime Minister Pearson. TIME MARCHES ON "Of course I have every sym- pathy with the Leader of the Opposition (Mr. Diefenbaker), being myself at the same mel- ancholy stage of existence, and I can well believe that now and again he hears the words of An- drew Marvell saying: 'But at my back I atways r Time's winged chariot hurry- ing near.' "But I would suggest there is something odd in his determin. . ation to thumb a ride on time's winged chariot to oblivion." -- Colin Cameron, NDP M.P. from Nanaimo. "The present political circum- stances of Canada demand that Reversed Pattern Of Organs Queried By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I have '"'si- tus inversus," my internal or- gans being tnamsposed, or on the wrong side. About 25 doctors have ex- amined me in the last few years, mostly out of curiosity. They were all amazed and some didn't believe my heart beats on the right side. How often does this occur? 'What causes it? I am a frater- nal twin. Does this have any- thing to do with it?--N.V. Yours is a very rare condition --heart on the right side, liver on the left, and so on. Being a twin seems to have some bearing, but nobody knows exactly why. Left-han- dedness is one possibility that bas been observed. A clockwise (reverse) hair whorl is another. As to the internal organs, all may be reversed--or only some. It is a developmental quirk, and that's about as good an exe planation as we have, It doesn't seem to have any harmful effects, It's just that the organs are arranged in a different, or reversed, pattern. Dear Dr. Molner: I have a 12-year-old boy who wets the bed every night unless I get him up, and sometimes he does, anyway. A pediatrician said he will outgrow it. I have also been told to give him powdered rosin and saltpeter mixed with sugar every night until he stops. Do you recommend this? -- MRS. L, T. No! There is no reason why such a mixture would help. It might be harmful, besides being a foul-tasting concoction. Your gon has some urinary condition, or else a psychological quirk of some sort. Dear Dr. Molner: Is the drinking of milk from one's own tested cows safe without pas- teurization?--MRS, G. S. No. Always pasteurize. Why? because a herd that is perfect GALLUP POLL today may not be safe tomor- row. Tuberculosis, I agree, is not likely to appear overnight, but there has to be some time et which the change from "safe" to "not safe" occurs, And that isn't the only risk. Typhoid germs can occur. be- cause, in some way, the herd encounters impure food or water. Brucellosis (causing in- fectious abortion in cattle, and undulant fever in humans) is still another risk. We even know of cases in which an infected herd, removed from its original other herds months later, QUEEN'S PARK we ell look towards the future. This looking towards the future seems to be much more desir- * able than the foot-pawing teeth- gnashing that Canadian mem- bers of Parliament sometimes indulge in during debates in the House of Commons as they re- view the past or the present." .Eldon Woolliams, Conservative M.P. for Bow River, Alberta. - TOOTH PASTE AGAIN "I was very pleased to see the Minister of National Health and Welfare (Miss Judy La- Marsh) come into the house to- day her very a'fable and ami- able self. I am glad she dis carded that "bull in a china shop" attitude which she some- times displays, I am_particu- larly glad to see her with such a broad and handsome smile, displaying such a fine set of pearly teeth. I as a dentist com- mend her for that. I hope she will sink those teeth into some of my suggestions." -- Joseph Slogan, Conservative MP for Springfield. "I do object very strongly to the misuse of public money for the subsidization of the estab- lishment of industry in an area (Brantford) that is on the peri- meter of one of the richest, most prosperous and most pro- gressive areas in Canada, That community woke up one morn- ing and found they had become the adopted and retarded child of the Liberal government." -- Gordon Chaplin, Conservative MP for Galt, "The hon. member who has just interrupted reminds me of 'a type of wheat we used to grow in Saskatchewan. It was long in the straw, big in the head, but when you threshed it there was not much in it."--Alvin Hamil- ton, former minister of agricul- ture. Ff "The holiday crowds today are on rubber tires and they are really crowds. Because of statutory holidays with pay, be- cause of a good and always im- proving roads system, because of the fact that cars are owned by almost everyone, most Ca- nadian families are today throwing the kids in the back of the car and saying: 'Let us go to the National. Parks.'--Hon, of Arthur Laing, Minister of North- erm Affairs. Per Cylinder Rate For Licence Fees By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Do you drive @ compact car? Too bad. Your cost of living will probably go up $5 next year. Do you drive a station wagon? Congratulations. You probably will save « few dollars--and if you drive a wagon you likely have a lot of mouths to feed and can use them. This in a nutshell would seem to be the significance of the changes in passenger car li- cence fees. The fees are being scheduled on a per-cylinder basis. Most drivers of six - cylinder compacts will find their rate has been boosted. Some stan- dard car owners also will be paying more. And station wagon car own- ers, who have been rated on a commercial basis are now on Caouette Loses Ground With Canadian Elector By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) In the past six months the stock of Real Caouette, leader of the Ralliement des Creditis- tes group in Parliament, has gone down, with 45% of Cana- dians saying their opinion of him i: lower than it was.

ONE SOUR NOTE The new minister of eco nomics and development, Hon. Stanley Randall, has. made his first public speech. It was a good speech. But there was one sour noie in it. Mr. Randall brought out the old saw about the importance of Ontario to the country. He was reported as saying-- @s many others before him have said--"As Ontario goes so goes the rest of Canada", Please Mr. Randall, we are big boys and girls in this prov- ince now. We don't have to blow ourselves up to fill our right, we are impor- tant to the rest of Canada. But it also is very important to us. It is still our biggest cus- tomer. And we still go south to spend a lot of that money we get from the west and east. Let us recognize that if the rest of this country doesn't have the dollars in its purse our heels are going to run down a bit. Realize that and we can all work together effectively for the development of the country. If we start lording it we can find we are going into a bit of @ spin.
