She Oshawa Fimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, MARCH 9, 1964--PAGE 6 Estimates Show Lack Of Spending Control The most discouraging thing about © the, estimates of federal spend- ing for the next fiscal year, tabled by Finance Minister Gordon last week, is that they the government to be either unwilling or unable to control expenditures -- and this despite the indefinite prospect of the heavy deficit spending so much deplored by Mr. Pearson and Mr. Gordon when they were campaign- ing for election last year. Only the defence department shows any substantial move to- wards economy, and for this De- fence Minister Hellyer deserves full marks. Spending in an ener- getic, well-run department like trade and commerce is justified by the results obtained. But it is extre- mely difficult to understand why the government should plan on spending more money on- public printing, in the face of the Glassco Commission's finding that an enor- mous amount of the printing being done was an absolute waste; yet the printing bill is to go up from More Traffic Some five hundred officers have been added to the Ontario Provin- cial Police Force. This strengthen- ing will enable the OPP to establish round-the-clock traffic patrols and boost motorcycle patrols from forty to eighty units. The OPP could do with still more man-power and equipment, but the present increase is still good news. There will be more police patrols on the highways -- and more police patrols mean more careful driving on those highways. There is nothing like the appeararice of a police cruiser to put some sense into the heads of errant drivers -- the speed demons, the tailgaters and all the others who can turn a fine stretch of highway into a bloody hazard, It is curious how a respectable citizen, who would not dream of breaking into a house because no constable was in sight, will obey traffic regulations only when a policeman is in sight. It has been said that it is in the nature of Reform Of T Senator Rupert Davies has lashed out at critics who have described P 3 \ ; we' members of the Canadian Senate as political hacks. Senator Davies, of course, is the last person any- one would describe as a_ political hack, and he is quite right when he points to the many fine intel- lects which grace the Senate and which are possessed by men well over the 75-year age limit' which Prime Minister Pearson has pro- posed for the Senate. Senator Davies's vigorous defence of his colleagues, however, .does not weaken the case for Senate re- form; all it does it draw attention to the need for careful thought about the direction of that reform Mr. Pearson has moved timidly in one direction by proposing a 75- year age limit fo senators. Age, however, has nothing to do with ability. Probably the four best Ghe Oshawa Times T.. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

It is just as difficult to under- stand increased spending by other departments. The department of citizenship and immigration, for example, is to spend an additional $7 million, and the department of agriculture an additional $8 million, It is fair to ask, what for? Then 'the government insists that unem- ployment is being reduced -- with some justification, according to the monthly reports -- but it still pro- poses to allocate more money for unemployment insurance. Some expenses must be main- tained -- old age pensions are an example. Nothing much can be done - about debt charges in the space of a year. But there is no reason why departments must increase their spending year by year. Significant sayings, in total, could be obtained in these areas, as the Glassco Commis- sion pointed out. But as we said above, the cabinet ministers arf either unwilling to control expendi- tures or are incapable of doing? Patrols most human beings to cheat a bit on traffic laws,.but the laws exist largely for our own safety -- and there is no difference between cheating a bit and breaking the law. Until there is a change in the general attitude towards traffic re- gulations, there can be no substan- tial improvement in the safety situ- ation. A law is only as effective as public acceptance of and obe- dience to that law. But in the mean- time, the appearance of more policemen and police vehicles on the highways will serve as a forcible reminder to the cheaters that there are such things as traffic laws and that there are penalties for breaking them. The OPP officers cannot watch every stretch of every highway in the province, 24 hours a day. But their greater numbers will impose more caution along longer stretches of the busier highways, and road safety should be correspondingly improved. he Senate minds in the Senate belong to men who are all over the suggested age limit. The necessary reforms lie in another direction, but it's doubtful if they can be accomplished with- out drastic amendment of the British North America Act. The greatest weakness of the Senate spring from the method of appointment of its. members. There is too great a temptation for the party in power to use the Senate to pay off political debts -- to ap- point, in fact, the political hacks along with men of genuine merit. One suggestion has been that sen- ators be appointed by a non-poli- tical body -- an idea with con- siderable merit. Another is that the selection be made by the_pro- 'vinces, but this would simply mean the appointment of hacks by the provinces instead of by the federal government. There is a considerable body of opinion in favor of abolition of the Senate, but this, we think, is too drastic a solution. There is a place in our system for a chamber of "sober second thought" which the Senate should be, but is not.

'HAVE YOU NOTICED ANYTHING LATELY ? READERS' VIEWS Dear Sir: I feel that the attached poem by Ellis 0. Jones, whilst hav- ing been first published in New Zealand. could have particular significance to the recent vot- ing trend in this city. The whistle has blown, each man takes his place, To toil for the world at a death-dealing pace, Each movement is skilful, each brain is alert, While they patiently work in the factory dirt; Just look at that picture, And then make a note, That united they sweat, But divided they vote! and The machines and the belts and the shafting are still, And not a wheel turns -- there's a strike at the mill A strike! Every workman has solemnly vowed To stand by his. mates their claims are allowed. 'Tis a brave thing to do, But don't fail to note That united. they strike, But divided. they vote! till The sun brightly shines as there passes along, In holiday raiment, the Labor, Day throng. Each man is decked out in his Labor Day best -- LABOR OMNIA VINCIT the banners attest. Yes, Labor. may. conquer, but never, please note, While united they march, But divided they vote. VI AYLING Oshawa. REBUTTAL Dear Sir: The Oshawa Times carried a very good report of the com- ments by the 'temporary'? MPP for Oshawa, Ab Walker, when talking to the converted at Ajax last Saturday night. As a New Democratic Party executive member I could not see the re- marks passing without a rebut- tal. About the union voter, Donald C. MacDonald was addressing a union leadership group when he commented on not enough union votes in the September election. I am sure if he had been ad- dressing a women's group, the approach would be women's vote, ethnic group, ethnic vote, etc The bargain basement prom- ise: Do you know that" Ab Walker, in his maiden speech, quoted the New Democratic Party proposed legislation on Medicare (to remind Osh- awa voters the Ontario Hospital Plan was in'roduced by our good friend Tommy Thomas). Ab Walker said and I quote 'I would strongly urge that the final Medicare plan for Ontario be made as comprehensive as possible', Oh! yes on the New Democratic Party motion by Mr. S, Lewis (Scarboro West) about a fully comprehensive Medicare plan which was de- bated at length on Jan. 21st ~~, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Maren 9, 1008 iss ies The Commons 13 years ago tonight -- in - 1951 -- ap- proved incorporation of a company planning a 3,100- mile, $250,000,000 natural gas pipeline from Alberta to.

Where was Ab? He fhen said "Nay". On the 11th Feb., Fred Young (NDP, Yorkview) appeared to get Ab hot under the collar when he said (see page 549 Han- sard) "They 'talk our language, and they are talking a program which is much needed. Take, for example, the honorable member for Oshawa (Mr. Walker). He wants certain things. He wants the pension, and a better one, and this before the next bar- gaining session of Local 222. He wants the minimum wage ex- tended across Ontario, and he wants it now. He wants regional planning, and a lot of other things that he said. the other day. "You know, as I said to him after his speech, if he talked this way during the last cam- paign, I can quite understand how he defeated my good friend Tommy Thomas in Oshawa, Be- cause the good people of that riding must have thought they were voting New Democrat. I have noticed that the aisle here is very narrow between the hon- orable member and this group, and I think he ought to just move his desk across here and join this group which has con- sistently,' and in publig, talked about the program and stood for the program that he enunciated the other day." Oshawa STAN IBBOTT MERIT POINTS Dear Sir: In some of your recent arti- cles on motoring mayhem it was pointed out some relation. ship of the motorist's driving record to the chances of him being involved in an accident. The punch line seemed to be that people involved in the most serious accidents were in many cases people who have no traf- fic record. Further there was a Suggestion of "merit" points for the motorists who did keep a clean traffic record. I would suggest that. there are people who would become even more dangerous if they were awarded merit points -- those who have a clear traffic record not because they are good drivers but because they are successful in the game they play with the police. They slow from their excessive Speeds before the cruiser can get a fair pace, run through stop signs when they are sure that there are no police in the aréa, tailgate and lane- change improperly, etc. This game they play 'makes for a very dangerous condition- ing of their driving habits and is probably a factor in the statistics that people with clear driving records are involved in serious accidents. To award such people "merit" points would really inflate their ego and put them even farther away from any suggestion that they might be selfish drivers. Many offenders come 'to. traffic court not to say that they were not going 75 mph but to plead guilty to 70 mph so they will no have points on their driving record. +A record of every offence goes in to the Department of Transport, even those that do not involve the points system.) The Canadian Automotive Association asked for sugges- tions on ways to reduce motor- ing mayhem, I suggest that they look to their subtle brain- washing in the advertising of their products. ' 'A Tiger," '0 to 60 mph in \% sec," 'Cruises all day at 70 mph," 'Go Go Go," "A Jet," ete. Advertising has, to some mentalities, more effect than any safety posters put out by the limited budgets of the safety organizations. People will always be mak- ing mistakes on highways and speeders leave no time for eva sive action in too many in- stances, The only answer I have re- ceived to this view from speed- ers, when they are being charg- ed is, "Get those people off of the highways." So to follow this to a conciusion, all those who have ever made a driving error or may make one, turn in your licence in order to make the highways safe for speeders. --D. E. JORDAN, Whitby PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM The only things of value not- affected by inflation are trea- sures stored up in heaven. It's said women talk 35 per cent: fasier than men.

MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I have been treated for allergy over two years by the injection method. It seems that the "one-shot" type is preferable due to saving of money and time. Should a person switch? Can the "one-shot" type accomplish what 'a series might not ac- complish?--EIR Either method--the series or the "one-shot"--is aimed at the _ game goal: To expose you, little by little, to 'some substance to which you are hypersensitive, and gradually let you develop a tolerance to it. In a series of shots, a very small amount is given each time, With the "one-shot," a larger amount is given, but it is contained in an oily, or waxy material so that it is released very slowly over a long period. Thus the difference. "There has been considerable controversy among allergists over relative merits, I am not an allergist, so you must regard * my. opinion as that of a physi- cian rather than a: specialist in that field. The one-shot type evidently has worked well in some cases, and is undoubtedly an advance. The fact that other allergists prefer the series method sug- gests to me that (1) there has not yet been enough experience BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO March 9, 1949 Announcement was made of the appointment of Rev.

With the series method, the amount of material can be varied from time to time, as the patient's progress dictates. 'Even if the patient remains quite predictable in the reaction to troublesome allergens (ma- terials to which you are sensi- tive), he cannot always predict when he is going to be exposed to increased amounts of them. So the ability to change the amount being injected can Rave its advantages. It is possible to switch inet. ods, but if I were the patient, and making progress I would stick with my type. In any event, let your doctor guide you. He knows your case, . I don't. And he also knows how the different kinds of injection have worked for him, Dear Dr. Moiner: I have dia- betes. Please discuss it, and how to treat the itch --WI Itching from diabetes cannot be successfully treated until your system is properly bal- anced so that it can hai the amount of sugar you take in. Insulin, diabetes pills and diet are the three methods ,, and trained judgment is necessary to decide which of the first two should be combined with the third to get results. Itching without other explana- tion is one of the signs that diabetes has developed or is getting out of control. Diabetes cannot be cured but it CAN be controlled.
