i} it Oshawa Fines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher * WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1964--PAGE 6 Attitude Not Mechanics 'Major Tourist Problem -- Alan Field, director of the Cana- | dian Government Travel Bureau, 'jas suggested to the Senate com- mittee on tourism that international experts in tourist reception be hired to help Canada for a great influx of tourists during the 1967 centen- nial. The experts would provide as- | sistance in all fields of tourist ser- vices, accommodation and catering. It is odd indeed to find the boss of a national travel bureau taking 'euch a defeatist attiude. Consider- ing that tourism in this country is : now not far from being a billion- dollar industry, there must be few Canadians here and there who have | some idea of what the business is all about. , We do, however, have a problem. It is not one of mechanics, as Mr. | Field seems to think, but one of | attitude. There are many things right with Canadian tourism. One of the main ! things wrong with it is the blind effort of far too many in the busi- ness to make tourists feel "right ' at home". Tourists do not want to feel at home; if they did, they ' would stay at home and save a great deal of money. When they Root Of The The UN Security Council once again has condemned South Africa's policy of racial separation and has authorized a study of possible Measures to give teeth to its dis- pleasure. In the meantime, the South African government is sending out propaganda based on the recent treason trial of Nelson Mandela and seven others, seeking to prove that resistance to its apartheid policy is largely Communist inspired and: directed. Presumably Premier Ver- woerd and his colleagues think that by playing on Western suspicion and 'fear of Communism they can win some approval of their own hateful racial program. If so, they are sadly mistaken. There is no doubt that Com- munists, and Chinese Communists in particular, are striving mightily to capitalize on the racial animosity and tension building in South Africa. But they are simply taking advantage of a situation created by the South African white suprema- travel, they want experiences that are new and exciting. Some of those' experiences may be visual -- scenery and buildings that are different from those they are ac customed to seeing; others will ap- peal to different senses -- language and accent that are fresh, history that is newly revealed, food that is different and exciting to the palate. : In our opinion, the best -travel slogan in years is used by Jamaica -- "It's no place like home." And that is precisely why Jamaica has a rapidly-growing tourist in- dustry. Quebee province recently ran two sets of advertisements in the United States, one in French and one in English; the French ad- vertisements outdrew the English ones by a wide margin. They were different. If Mr. Field has some experts who can persuade Canadian tourist operators to haul down their Amer- ican flags and identify their menus with Canada instead of Maine, New York,. Kentucky, Idaho, Florida, etc., let him trot them out. They're needed. The others are not, Trouble cists themselves. The root of the trouble is apartheid, not Com- munism. The trial of Nelson Mandela car- ries a lesson for the West, all right, but it is not that the Verwoerd gov- ernment must be supported as a bul- wark against' Communism; the United States and other Western countries have fallen too often into that old trap, by being hoodwinked into backing corrupt and reactionary regimes..The lesson is that the West must show the non-whites in Africa that the Communists are not their only hope -- that, indeed, the Com' munists are false friends and are in fact the new imperialists, The West does not have much time to make this effort. The ques- tion now is not whether apartheid will go, but when and how. It could go in a terrible explosion of racial strife and bloodshed, in which case the Communists will have a glor- ious opportunity; they feed on vio- lence and hatred. Dams Status Symbols In the postwar world, the status 'symbol among nations seems to be the dam. The poorest nation can speak proudly at the United Nations , when it has a massive dam blocking 'some remote river; no matter that there are no factories to use the power generated, the dam itself is the thing. ' Even wealthy countries suffer 'from this dam fixation, and con- sider plans for dams they don't need, Canada has managed to avoid the virus, possibly because of its 'continuing need for power; its dams 'are strictly utilitarian -- although 'there are some rumbles from the West Coast which indicate that 'Premier Bennett may be infected. Even the United States is not im- 'mune. It has built one or two "'pres- tige" dams in the Pacific Northwest and now is considering a fantastic project in Alaska, where some boon- Moggling politicians want to build a : T.

The dam, 530 feet high, would lie near the geographical centre of Alaska and be built primarily to generate massive quantities of elec- trical power for which need has yet to be demonstrated, the Milwaukee Journal reports. It would create a lake 280 miles long and up to 80 miles wide, covering 10,500 square miles -- an area larger than Lake Ontario. It would take 20 years to fill. It would also, according to the wildlife service, block spawning salmon and mean a loss in catch of up to 400,000 salmon a year; destroy 2.4 million acres of duck breeding grounds, the range for more: than 5,000 moose, and the habitat of fur animals which now supply about seven per cent of the total] Alaskan fur harvest. A good deal? Not by a dam site, says the fish and wildlife service.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- London's famous criminal court, the Old Bailey, has become~a: subject of bitter controversy within the Common Council of the City of London. The Old Bailey is situated off Lidgate Hill, almost under: the shadow of St. Paul's Cathedral, on Old Bailey Street. It is Brit- ain's principal criminal court. The number of cases coming before its judges has increased to such an extent that immedi- YOUR HEALTH ate additions to the buildings are urgently necessary. The City Lands Committee, which is reponsible for the management of the Old Bailey, announced 19 months ago that it had prepared a plan to pro- vide accommodation for four more courts in a building ex- tending southwards along Old Bailey Street towards Ludgate Hill. That was the starting point of the controversy. WANT NEW SITE Some members of the Com- mon Council of the City of Lon- Needless Fussing About Pulse Rate By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD. Dear Dr. Molner: I am a man of 40; above average in health, but have had a heart rate of 100. standing, 80 lying down after a night's rest, since I was a@ young man. I first learned about this when taking a physical for the air corps in 1942. I was turned down because my blood pres- sure was also slightly high--150- 80. I was later accepted by the army. This rapid pulse rate. appar ently has had no adverse ef- fects. My question is will it affect my length of life, and should 1 adjust my daily living and physical activities to such a condition? I have fairly regular check-ups, and my doctor says my blood pressure is OK. Are there other cases like mine or am I an exception?--EJM There's nothing very unusual about your case. There are various reasons for a rapid pulse, but the psycho- logical factor is very common. his shows up when people are examined for insurance, or jobs --or volunteering for the air corps. The pulse (or heart rate) is very likely to speed up be- cause of nervous stress, and the same Is true of slightly elevated blood pressure. You don't tell me what your current readings are, but it is not unusual for them to drop back toward what is really nor- mal for you as you become accustomed to your doctor and his mannerisms, and in general aren't keyed up. It wouldn't surprise me if, after some years of going to your regular physician, you now have per- fectly normal readings. His re- ort that your blood pressure s OK would so indicate. The fact that you did your army service without difficulty is good evidence that there was nothing seriously wrong with you then. Your regular check- ups reinforce the indications that you are healthy now. Doctors sometimes have dif- ficulty persuading some pa- tients to slow down and "'adjust daily living and physical activi- ties." Other times they have nearly as much trouble convincing pa- tients that they have no need to slow down, and will in fact be better off if they, just keep on living naturally and stop worrying. So, EJM, I think you are worrying needlessly. Dear Dr. Molner: Lam three months pregnant and have found out that I have pinworms. Will this hurt my unborn baby in any way? If so would it be safe to treat them in my con- dition!--MRS.. N.E. The pinworms won't hurt the aby, but you should be treated anyway, to try to rid yourself (and other members of the fam- ily) of them before the baby is born. Until you understand how they spread and multiply, you can't do an intelligent job of protecting yourself and family against getting them again. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Prime Minister Diefen- baker announced an auster- ity program,aimed at eas- ing the country's financial problems two years ago to- day--in 1962, He also an- nounced plans to arrange loans and -credits totalling more than $1,000,000,000 to bolster the country's sag- ging dollar, Besides the aus- terity measures, the Bank of Canada announced an in- crease to six per cent in the rediscount rate on treasury bills, aimed at at- tracting foreign capita] in- vestment to Canada. 1860 -- The training of nurses in Britain started at St, Thomas' Hospital in London. don opposed the scheme to ex- tend the present Old Bailey. They favored the idea of erect- ing an entirely new Central Criminal Court building on a new site, preferably near the Thames and to the east of Blackfriars, After arguments extending over the last 18 months, the City Lands Committee has re- jected the proposal to build a new court house on a different location. In its report to the Common Council, it said that this proposal would not be any cheaper to carry out than its own plan to extend the present Old Bailey, It warns, too, that once the removal of the court is officially contemplated, there would be "interminable and in- tolerable delays." In its report, which was fin- ally adopted by the Common Council of the city, the com- mittee says: "This additional accommoda- tion for the administration of criminal justice in Greater Lon- don is a matter of extreme urgency. Nothing short of the most compelling reasons would justify contemplating the re- moval of the Central Criminal Court from the Old Bailey, which for many centuries has been synonymous with the ad- ministration of criminal justice in this country." WORK INCREASED The committee points out that the work of the Old Bailey has been increasing by 10 per cent a year since 1939, and is now rising even more rapidly. On top of this, the area the court covers is being widened to take in the whole of the new Greater London. Parliament has already given the city powers to acquire land for the proposed extension. De- molition and: clearance work could be started by July, 1965, - if not before. Two new courts would be ready by Jantary, 1968 and the whole scheme fin- ished by December, 1969. One objection to the plan was {ts cost. But the original build- ing estimate of close to six mil- lion dollars has been reduced by about $350,000 by}\. among other things, omitting air condi- tioning and hardwood panelling from certain parts of the new building. © ; When the committee's report and recommendations came before the Common Council of the City of London, the pro- 'ponents of the plan to move to a new location were routed, and the committee's proposals adopted. So Old Bailey will re- main on its historic old site, but will become a larger and grander structure with the addi- tions to be made, ; BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO June 24, 1939 Oshawa lads of under 18 were given a chance to play softball when the Junior Ontario Ama- teur Softball Association league was organized. Rev. Russell O'Brien, who was leaving the pastorate at Whitby United Church, was suc- ceeded by Rev. C. G. Park of Elora. City Council agreed that the most advantageous site for the Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Whitby, where he had been pas- tor for five years. Mrs. G. N. Irwin defeated Mrs. H. E. Bradley to win the F. W. Cowan trophy at the Oshe awa Golf C ub. es William Askew won two firsts and George Hood and Reginald Martyn each won one first in individual competitions at the Waterloo Band Festival, proposed new post office was on corner of Simcoe and Athol streets, Selecting this location would involve the removal of the Oshawa Railway car barns Richard G. Oke, well-known Whitby citizen, died in his 94th year. : The operation of motor buses on Simcoe street instead of the existing street car service was assured the city by officials of the Oshawa Railway Company. The Ontario Regimental Band, under the direction of Bandmas- ter Jack Broadbent, won first place in the competition num- ber one class at the Waterloo Band Festival and Reunion. Mr. and Mrs. Alpha Pinch celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. Arthur Sargant, member of the Oshawa Cricket Club, brought honor to himself and his native city, by being select- ed to play on the all-star On- tario junior cricket team, in the Dominion cricket tournament in Rey. Dr. Carmichael preach- Vancouver. ed his farewell sermon at St. Haitians Flow Across Border SANTO DOMINGO (AP) °-- The border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic is closed but Haitians continue to flow into this country. Most find a life of deep poverty The majority are peasants who come to cut sugar cane during the harvest season, now nearly over. They normally re- turn to Haiti, but this year easy return is blocked. The border has been closed since exiles tried to invade Haiti last spring. Carlos Jivaréz, director-gen- eral of immigration, estimates that at least 35,000 Haitians now. are in the country, includ- ing 18,430 with residence pa- pers. "We are registering the others as quickly as we find them in the countryside," Al- varez said. Rev. Jean-Claude Bajeux, a> Roman Catholic priest peerae | to minister to the Haitians here, puts the total figure at 60,000. Father Bajeux, himself in ex- fle from Haiti, says-the refugees and exiles include people whose jand has been seized by Haitian President. Francois Duvalier's dreaded Tonton Macoute police. There also are about 1,000 students, ex-soldiers and mem- bers of opposition political groups, plus people who wanted to 'eave the country but could not obtain visas from Duval- jer's government. Others lost property when Duvalier cleared "a two-mile wide strip along the border to help guard against ex- ile infiltration or invasion. A Dominican priest who works along the border said that in recent weeks the Haitian government has been burning a swath along the mountainous, wooded southern border. Father Bajeux said the Do- minican government is sympa- thetic to the plight of the Hai- tians but about 30 per cent of the Dominican labor force is jobless. > of OTTAWA Herridge's Shows Persona By PATRICK NiCHULSON OTTAWA--Bert Herridge, the colorful 69-year-old New. Demo- cratic MP for Kootenay West, has lived a varied life--student at Guelph's OAC, wounded hero of the famed 54th (Kootenay) Battalion in the First World War, vice-president of B.C. Li- beral Association, forest farmer, MLA and MP, He is one of Parliament's great individualists, and as such the kindly Bert has pre- dictably made his office on the Hill into an interesting Mecca. There his friends from 19 years Parliamentary life gather often, braving the risk to life, limb and sanity inseparable from dodging his booby traps of piled files and sharing a chair with a scrap-book. In basic equipment, MPs' of- fices resemble one another like ugly identical twins. Each holds an office desk, several green steel filing cabinets, a green water cooler, a couch and easy chair upholstered in "public works" fabric of stained claret color, and a typewriter with desk and varicolored operator -- the 'whole set in a room painted depressingly in "public works" colors: sand, spinach and shoeshine brown, Yet some MPs spend 100 hours a week in and out of that! Bert lives up to his honorary title as The Squire of the Ki tenays, and has two large wall of his office glazed almost solid with framed pictures of Koo- tenay folklore mixed with squirish history.

Oshawa AJAX REUNION Dear Sir: During the years 1939-45 there was a shell-filling plant or the land now occupied by industrial Ajax. There were mary thou- sands of men and women em- 'ployed there over that pericd of time from many surrounding communities as well as those who lived in the wartime hous- ing or the residences for both men and women. In the last few years, a Re- union Assvciation has been formed with the purpose of hav- ing a yearly picnic, usually held in the early summer to re- PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "To pronounce the average word, a person has to use 72 different muscles." -- Magazine filler, It's a @reat pity that these muscles, unlike other muscles, aren't subject to fatigue and exhaustion.

We are sure there are many from this area who were work- ers at Ajax, be they DIL, Coles, CC of C or others who had some connection with the original Ajax. With this in mind we hope you wi!l publish this in your news- paper and thus esable those concerned from the district to come to Cedar Strzet Park at Ajax on June 28, 1964 at 1.30 p.m. for an enjoyable time speaking with old friends or tak- ing part in some of the activ- ities planned for all members of the family, Beverages and ice cream will be provided and each family is asked to bring their own picnic lunch for supper about 4.00 o'clock, MRS.

Then there's a whole fasci- nating picture gallery of the fleet of stern-wheelers which sailed the inland seas of B.C. When the Herridge family moved into the Arrow Lakes district with the early settlers, there was neither road nor rail. The pioneer communities scat- tered among the untracked for- were conveniently and cheaply linked and served by boats plying the Columbia River, especially where it opened into the 150 miles of long narrow Arrow Lakes, and the Kootenay Lakes. The first waterborne freight of the B.C. interior was carried oh SS Duchess, a by-guess and by - God contraption' which sailed by the seat of its pants. GHOST ON CANVAS Perhaps the most famous of that once proud fleet was the Moyie, built at Nelson in 1898 to cater to the Klondike gold- rushers, but diverted to the Kootenay boom. She survived wreck, wrack and fire, dismem- berment and displacement which gradually eliminated all her rivals, until she sailed alone, finally being withdrawn in 1957, the last of the paddle steamers first seen in 1884. To- day, a beached souvenir, she's a museum piece at Galena Bay, overlooking the lakes she once sailed, All these paddleboats have been preserved pictorially by the artist Alec Garner. He gathered sketches, dim photo- graphs and even descriptions of the famous vessels; and from this slim material his brush brought even the charred or a ghosts back to vivid e. Today Bert Herridge has photos of the 40 or so Garnet paintings.

Mr. Wishart moved into a hot seat. In the public mind he is still under test. And now he has given his home-town police chief a job. The attorney-general had the appointment of three senior of- ficers to the Ontario Police Commission. * There were more than 50 ap- plicants for the openings. As one of the three men he selected Chief Irvin L. Robert- son of Sault Ste. Marie. Mr. Robertson may be the best man in the world. And, certainly, Mr. Wishart. has had a chance to know him and weigh his responsibilities. Bilt ss The chief is from the Sault and he is 65. Many people are bound to consider there has been favorit- ism, and to lessen their respect for the attorney-general accord- ingly. LORD'S DAY In another area a good point Mr, Wishart has put forward is the need for revising the Lord's Day Act. This ancient federal act is bp out of keeping with our THIS SPACE RESERVED FOR IMPERIAL If strictly enforced it could effectively bar much activity on the Sabbath which today is gen- eral and accepted. The law is very loosely en- forced, which means that as of today it is not a good law, However, chances of its being amended are not strong. Cer- tainly not while there is a mi- nority government in Ottawa. . In recent years the Lord's Day Alliance has shown a broader outlook towards the act: But still it would automatic ally have to put up opposition to any move to rewrite it. This could lead to a hefty, emotional political disturbance. And such disturbances are something to be desperately oon in the federal.arena to- y- , THREE BALLS?
