She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Cost Should Not Rule Canadian Post Office Should the 'Post Office Depart- ment be expected to pay its own way? If you answer that question affirmatively, you must agree that every other national service that produces revenue should pay its own way -- that railways should operate without subsidies and be allowed to adjust their rates to show a profit, that the CBC spend only the money it earns, that the farm subsidies be abolished, and so on. And you could. buttress your case with strong argument. We would not agree however. A good postal service is a vital na- tional service and it should be operated to provide the best pos- sible service. If it cannot do that within the bounds of the revenue it raises, then the extra money needed should come out of general taxes, since everyone benefits. Providing a national service means more than simply the swift and efficient delivery of a letter or parcel at its destination. It means also a service which can be used easily by everyone at a reasonable cost -- and the. upward trend in postal rates suggests that the cost may soon be a hardship to pension- ers and others living on low in- comes. The Kingston Whig - Standard charges flatly that "since the end of the last war, postal service in this country has steadily deterior- ated," and gives the reason for the deterioration as 'the attempt of the government to cut cost of ope- ration; The paper continues: "The government lacks the wit to see that, particularly in the case of the Post Office Department, it is far better public relations to let any deficits be paid out of taxation than to continue to raise postal rates ... Government services were never meant to pay for themselves and nobody but politicians with axes to grind expects them to." Effects Of Spending A professor of business at the University of Florida recently told a tax-management course at Queen's University that, contrary to wide- spread opinion, governments in Canada were not taxing and spend- ing enough. His opinion is a repe- tition of the claim that a major fault with our society is that there is too much private spending and too little public spending -- in short, that the "public sector is starved." This opinion does not seem to square with the record. ' In the half dozen years from 7" to 1968 Canada's population increased by 14 per cent, from 16.6 to 18.9 million. But in that period spending by all governments, ex- clusive of intergovermental trans- fers, rose fom $8.7 billion to $13.6 billion, an incease of $4.9 billion, or 56 per cent: Private spending on consumer goods and services rose substantially, but not in proportion to government. spending -- from $20 billion to $26.9 billion, or 84 per cent. Another yardstick is the total of government spending as a propor- tion of the country's gross national product. Last year it was 32 per cent, compared to 27 per cent in 1957. By this criterion it has been the last decade that has seen the extreme rise in public spending. In 1950 total government expenditure equalled only 22 per cent of the country's total output of wealth; in 1939 it was 21 per cent, and in 1929 it was 16 per cent. Moreover, in the last half dozen years the investment of what is called social capital -- expenditures -- by government departments, plus spending on institutional services and on housing -- rose from $3,063 million' to $3,923 million. But capi- tal investment by business actually declined, from $5,654 million to $5,389 million. None of these figures support the argument that there would be less unemployment if there were less private spending and more public spending. Poverty And Action The leader of a political party made the headlines the other day by charging that 40 per cent of all Canadians are living on or. below the borderline of poverty. This sort of talk is nonsense, economics pro- fessor John Madden told the bien- nial Conference on Social Welfare, beeause it is not possible scientifi- cally to measure poverty. A parti- cular income could be less than enough in a large city but more than enough in a small town; or, on similar incomes one family might say it lacked nothing of consequence while a neighburing family might say it lacked every- thing of consequence. In any event, he pointed out, in 1961 only 13 per cent of urban families in Canada had annual incomes of less than $2,000. , Professor Madden did not suggest that there are no poor. But, he argued, the poor many kept poor by public policies. "The poor." he said, 'are those who already have the She Oshawa Times T. L.

They are the mentally and physically disabled, the young family where the head of the family is widowed, the family with a large number of children under 16, the family trying to farm an area too small for present-day technology, the Indian on the reservation, the aged widow or widower living in.one room in a major city with no family to provide assistance and nothing but the old age pension, the worker in a depressed region where the major industry has declined." His suggestions: "Raise the pen- sions of the needy poor, raise un- employment benefits substantially after the first month of unemploy- ment, give the widow a reasonable allowance to bring up her children with dignity and ediication, give the mentally ill more humane treatment, stibsidize families to move out of depressed regions, close down the Indian reservations." The professor's analysis has picked ouf a national blind spot. Our complex social welfare program costs the public more than $4 bil- lion a year, but it puts so much emphasis on the principle of uni-- versal benefits that much of the money goes to those who are quite capable of looking after them- selves, _' Bible Thought "For God speaketh once,, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not."

'nounced that she was JEKYLL AND HYDE REPORT FROM U.K. Sale Of Aintree Prompts Protests By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON The greatest sensation to hit British racing for many years came when Mrs. Mirabell Topham, owner of the Aintree Racecourse on which the famous Grand Na- tional race is run annually, an- selling the racecourse to a property development company for build- ing purposes. It was intimated that a sum of around three million dollars was involved in the sale. But the thing which YOUR HEALTH world - famous - steeplechase course would be a tragedy. He set in motion legal action to prevent the sale of the property, and its use for the purroses designed by the property de- * velopefs. hurt the racing fraternity most, was her announcement that the 1965 Grand National would be the last to be run over its Ain- tre Course on which it has been staged since 1830. This announcement~ aroused instant protests, and immediate court action by the former owner of thee Aintree course, the Earl of Sefton, who is also the senior National Hunt Stew- ard at Aintree. Lord Sefton sold the Aintree property, which had been in his family for 800 years, to Mrs. Topham in 1949. He said that the loss of the Use Drug To Slow Clotting Of Blood By JOSEPH G. MOLNER. MD. Dear Dr. Molner: Would you explain thinning of the blood? I have a heart condition (an- gina and coronary attacks). The doctor takes blood from my arm and analyzes it, but don't. understand what this is for.--K.C. Certain heart conditions are a result of clogging of the arter- jes of the heart. (The same thing applies to some forms of strokes, and to other condi- tions.) However, when certain arter- ies have become narrower than they formerly were, it is import- ant to take. steps to be sure that these restricted places are not shut off completely. As you know, if you cut or scratch your finger, it bleeds for a bit, and then stops. Why does it stop? Because your blood forms a "clot."" A mater- jal in the blood called "pro- thrombin" has a great deal to do with this, For . wounds, we _ normally want the clot to form rapidly, of course. But with certain people hav- ing conditions like yours, we prefer that the clotting be slower; better that a cut bleeds a little bit longer, rather than that a blood vessel becomes clogged, in case' the clotting happens to occur at that point. So we give an "anticoagul- ant,"' a drug which keeps the blood from clotting so rapidly. At the same time, we do not want to give so much that it interferes with the rapid heal- ing of such small wounds (cuts, scratches or even bruises be- neath the skin) as you may en- counter, In order to achieve a safe balance (slow enough clotting inside the blood vessels, yet still rapid enough if you have some small wound) we want to know exactly how rapidly your blood will clot. We do this by taking a sam- ple of blood and performing what we call a 'prothrombin time test," to see how rapidly your blood will clot when com- pared to that of a person who has not had the medication. A certain amount of the "thinning" drug (Coumadin be- ing one of them) may be too much for one person, too little for another. Taking periodic tests is the way to be sure. Depending on the result of the tests, we then can increase or decrease the amount of the medication Dear Dr. Mo'ner: Please ex plain a fat tumor. What makes it different from others? Can it become malignant? A friend of mine bas had one for 18 years. --P.M. A "tumor" means 4n over- growth of celis -- more grow at a certain place than are sup- I *posed to. This is possible in al- most any part of the body, al- though some places are less likely to have tumors than oth- ers. Thus a fatty tumor is one that grows in the fat cells. There can also be skin tumors, bone tumors, tumors in muscle areas. The growth (or tumor) will be of whatever type of tis- sue it is in. When a tumor is malignant, that is, cancerous, it keeps on growing and finally begins tu spread to other tissues. An ordi- nary, or benign, tumor does not do this. Fatty tumors (or lipomas) do not tend to become malignant. They are usually left alone un- less they are unsightly, or are large enough or so located as to be painful or a nuisance. Dear Dr. Moiner: What does a bilateral vasectomy do to a male other than render him sterile?--R.E.R, Nothing. CLAIMS COVENANT The first legal steps came when the Earl of Sefton was granted a High Court order for- bidding Mrs. Topham. selling the racecourse until her right to do so had been thrashed out in court. The order was valid for a week, after which the whole matter will go to 'trial in the courts, A. T. Balcombe, appearing in court on behalf of the Earl of Sefton. saiq that the projected sale of Aintree by Mrs. Top- ham to Capital and Counties Property, Limited, would be in breach of covenants which were laid down in the :agree- ment by which the property was sold to her in 1949. These covenanis, he declared, laid down that the land could be used only for horse racing or in part for agriculture. REQUEST REFUSED Only a few months ago, it was pointed out, Lord Sefton had refuseq a request from Mrs. Topham. to. release her from the restrictive covenants. In a note to Lord Sefton at that time, Mrs. Topham had referred to the financial diffi- culties of keeping the course open and said: "We want to sell before it is too late, I doubt if you appreciate all we have done to keep the Grand National flag flying at Aintree," The interim injunction which was granted on Lord Sef- ton's application "restrain the company (Topham's) from al- lowing the land to be used otherwise than for horse rac- ing or agricultural purposes, and from selling or carrying into effect any contract for the sale of the land for other than three purposes." This temporary injunction is only the beginning of what promises to be a long-drawn out and interesting legal argu- ment, on the result of which will hinge whether the Grand National will be run at Ain- tree after 1965. Mrs. Topham, who also holds a legal title to the name of this famous race, the "Grand National" has suggested that it should therefore be run at the Ascot race .course, But the Grand National at any course other than Aintree would never be the same. BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO July 24, 1929 F. W. Cowan purchased the 130-year-old Parker homestead near Newcastle and intended renovating and restoring it for posterity, since it was the old- est house in the district. Charles M. Mundy was one of the party of 12 Canadian news- paper men who was received by the Prince of Wales at York House, London, during a trip he and Mrs. Mundy made to Great Britain and Europe. Major R. B. Smith, deputy- reeve of East Whitby, was ap- pointed clerk of the newly- created Division Court for Osha- wa and East Whitby. George Ansley, sales manager for the McLaughlin-Buick and Marquette divisions at GMC, presided over the convention of 400 dealers and salesmen who were here to see he new 1930 models. Alderman S. ©, Carnell, in- spector for this district for the Federal Department of Public Works, went to Whitby to take charge of the work being done to improve the harbor there. : The Farrell Development Company began operations, making steel products at.a new plant on corner of Albert street and Olive avenue, Tenders were being called for the construction of a plant in Oshawa by the Skinner Co.

"This is fundamentally a mat- ter of the heart," Goldwater said in reply to an Associated Press questionnaire July 5. "The problems of discrimina- tion can never be cured by laws alone; but I would be the first to agree that laws can help--laws carefuly considered and weighed in an atmosphere of dispassion, in the ab e of political demagoguery, and in the light of fundamental consti- tutional principles." Announcing he would vote against the civil rights bill, Goldwater said on the Senate floor June 18 "I am unaltera- bly opposed to discrimination or segregation on the basis of race, color or creed: not only my words, but more impor- tantly my actions have re- peatedly demonstrated the sin- cerity of my feeling in this re- gard." FINDS IN NEW YORK Goldwater said in Stockton, Calif., March 18: "I don't want to see my country destroyed, the constitution destroyed, in a vain attempt to solve a prob- lem that can only be solved in the hearts of men, I can show you more segregation practised on the Canadian border than you can find anywhere in the South. I can show you discrim- ination in New York that would turn your hair." "T think it's wrong to take to the streets in violation of the law... ."" he said in San Fran- cisco March 15. "I think there is a great resentment building up across the nation." Goldwater said in Globe, Ariz., Feb. 14, that the public accommodations section of the bill 'would force you to admit a drunk or a murderer or an insane person into your place of business." He said that the fair employment section of the bill would lead to a quota system of hiring and '"'you are going to lose your right to select your employees." CUBA "We must impose, again, an effective economic - military blockade on Cuba. We must en- force our restrictions and levy penalties against shipping which attempts to trade with both the United States and Cuba. We must have an equally effective blockade against the export of agitators and arms from Cuba," Goldwater said July 5. - "A tight blockade around Cuba would heavily undermine Castro's power, but an unac- ceptably high price on the So- viet aid which is propping up his police state, and enable the people of Cuba themselves-- those inside the country, to- gether with an exile army--to -live under freedom once more. "Immediate U.S. recognition of a Cuban government-in-exile would be the indispensable first step toward Cuban self-tihera- tion. Such a government could ask for every form of U.S, and Organization of American States support--and ought to receive it." In Lakeport, Calif., March 18, Goldwater said action must be taken against Castro in concert with other hemisphere coun- triés and "'if we don't do this soon . . we ourselves will someday have to repeat what we did in 1898." (Guaranteed Cuban independence after win- ning Spanish-American War.) When Premier Fidel Castro halted the water supply to the Guantanamo Bay naval base, Goldwater, in Kingston, N.H., said: "I hope the president has the courage. to tell Castro 'Turn that water back on or we're g0- ing to turn it on ourselves... Turn it on or the marines will turn.it on for you and keep it on?" DEFENCE "Basic strategic concepts for the security of this nation de- manded drastic reassessment with the advent of the age of space and missiles. This nation TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 23, 1964... The bloodiest battle of the War of 1812 was fought at Lundy's Lane, Ont., 150 years ago today--in 1814. Although neither side could claim victory, the battle checked in advance of in- vading American forces Into Canada and forced their withdrawal to Fort Erie. Out. of fewer than 3,000 men, the defenders suffered 878 casualties with 84 killed. while the American loss Was 171 killed of the total of 853 casualties. 1534 -- Jacques Cartier landed at the site of Gaspe, Que., and took possessién of the land for France. 1847. -- Mormon leader Brigham 'Young approved the site of what later be- came Salt Lake City. campaigning" cannot survive, in this new era, without mastery of the uses of space and heavy reliance on missile systems as against a mixed force--missiles, manned aircraft, and naval vessels of ig types," Goldwater said July "I have raised, and will con- tinue to raise until all the facts are in, fundamental questions about the reliability of our in- tercontinental ballistic missiles. It is not.a question of theoret- ical accuracy, The fact is that not one of our advanced ICBMs has ever been subjected to a full test--of all component sys- tems, including warheads--un- der simulat battle condi- tions." ECONOMY "We, Repubicans, seek a government that attends to its in herent responsibilities of maintaining a stable monetary and fisca] climate-encouraging a free and competitive economy, and enforcing law and order." ay acceptance speech July Goldwater said in Wilton, N.H., March 5, the United States is doing its best to en- courage freer trade but "the trouble is the rest of the world isn't helping us. It might get to the point where we have to lower quotas," EXTREMISM "I would remind you that ex- tremism in the defence of lib- erty is no vice and let me re- mind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." (From acceptance speech July 16.) "All I can say is that I will take the support of any Amer- ican who is not a Communist, who has not advocated the vio- lent overthrow of our govern- ment--and the Birch Society, like the Americans for Demo- cratic Action, extremists on the left, are operating, in my opin- ion, under their constitutional rights," he said in San Fran- cisco on March 15. "I seek the support of no ex- tremist groups of the left or right," he said in Fresno, Ca- lif., March 14. FOREIGN AID . "T am for a sound foreign aid Program," he said in a June re- issue of his campaign position declaration. He endorsed. milit- ary aid and technical assist- ance. "Foreign military aid and technical assistance are valua- ble adjuncts to our over-all pro- gram of mutual security--the former to protect our friends against Communist aggression, and the latter to help free na- tions free themselves," Gold- water said in an April 18 posi- tion paper. Goldwater also said: "U.S. as- sistance to Communist-ruled na- tions has not helped foster any significant independence from Soviet domination. . . . "Our aid has furnished new strength to the Communist bloc rather than introducing new tensions or weaknesses." FOREIGN POLICY Goldwater said in Dallas on June 15 lack of foreign policy OTTAWA REPORT 4 - and a "'weak-kneed" 'pol-. . ey "are leading on into World War If] as surely as we were same kind of stt P he tude." _ In Los Angeles May 27 said: "The greatest way we can help the free world would be to help the people behind the. Iron Curtain. assert their free jo a before >? ing a warmonger, I say can be done without going war." In Lebanon, N.H., Feb. 19, he said a firm foreign policy is the best insurance of peace. "We're not afraid to risk war because we know doing this the chances are that we won't have to go to war." - : "T think the time is long past that we have to take a rit ao and there," he said in Chicago Feb. 8. "'Whenever this country stands firm, communism backs down," : In Minneapolis Feb. 3, Gold- water said, "If you get a Re- Publican president you can get foreign-policy changes awfully fast. In my case it would be changed to a policy not of bel- ligerence but the same policy as under (former president) Ei- senhower and (the late state secretary) Dulles of brinkman- ship and the proper use of our strength." NATO Goldwater, in his campa' position statement, said: " greatest force for freedom in the world today is the power- ful Atlantic alliance, the NATO community... ." He opposed the multilateral force concept as a gimmick to give the appearance of NATO unity, and said it would not be workable. He proposed 'these steps: 1, Consultation with NATO al- lies before major 'policy deci- sions affecting their security> 2. A pledge not to engage in bilatera! negotiations with the Soviet Union on. matters involv- ing security 'or interests of NATO nations, : 3. "The sharing of nuclear secrets within the framework of existing law. ... 3. "The training of all NATO forces stationed in Europe, re- gardless* of nationality, in the use of nuclear weapons. I sug- get that the supreme com- mander of NATO, who is an American officer and. probably always will be, have direct command over a NATO nuclear force, trained, ready and equipped, on European soll." MORE LEEWAY In San Francisco July 13, Goldwater told Florida dele- gates to the Republican conven- tion: "I've suggested that we never remove this (nuclear) respon- sibility from the president but that the commander of NATO have a little more leeway in the selection of weapons and the timeliness of weapons." "We're talking about tactical nuclear weapons of a very small nature," he told Der Spie- gel, a West German newsma- gazine. 'There is a real need for the supreme commander to * be able to use judgment on the use of these weapons more ex- peditiously than he could by telephoning the White House and I would say that in these j "4 4 # eT cases the supreme commander - should be given great leeway in the decision to use them or not to use them." Doug Harkness Claims CBC Investigations Necessary Patrick Nicholson's guest columnist today is Hon, Doug- las Harkness, minister of na- tional defence in the former Conservative government. By DOUGLAS HARKNESS OTTAWA -- On June 18 I moved in the public accounts committee of the House of Commons that the accounts of the Canadian Broadcasting Cor- poration, and the extent to which that corporation had im- plemented the recommenda- tions of the: Glassco Commis- sion, be investigated by the committee. This motion was accepted and the investigation will go for. ward. 4 The reaction of the CBC, as reported in the press, was that they were the world's mos: in- vestigated agency and had been subjected to some 20-odd_ par- liamentary committees, royal commi etc. The implica- tion of this is that no further investigation is necessary. I would take the opposite view and point out that the numerous investigations which have been held on the CBC have been due to widespread contin- uing opinion that their organ- ization and business adminis- tration has not been as satisfac- tory as it should be. A 'SACRED COW' The genera] opinion in Can- ada is that the CBC puts out a large number of very excellent programs and is providing a very. great and worthwhile na- tional service. As a result of this it has, to some extent, be- come a 'sacred cow" and gov- ernments and individuals have been loath to, or afraid to cri- ticize it. ce I think a distinction has to be made between the programs produced and the service thus rendered, on the one hand, and the organization and financial administrations on the other, and it is the latter which, I be- lieve, particularly need to be improved. The Glasseo Commission made some very serious criti- cisms ofy the CBC stating. among other things, in their conclusions; "There can be no doubt that the corporation is in need of extensive reorganization to se- cure efficiency and economy in its operations . . . It is appar- ent that substantial savings can be effected through the appli- cation of tried and proven prin- ciples governing the devolution of authority and by establish- ing the accountability of man- agement in its. various func- tions." OVERCOME WEAKNESSES As this report was released nearly a year and a half ago, I think that by this time the CBC should be called before a parliamentary body, which can examine it to determine what changes it has made to over- come the weaknesses pointed - out by the Glassco Commission. This is particularly the case, as the CBC was provided with considerably more than $80,000,- 000 by the taxpayers of Canada in 1963, and while we have not the figures for 1964: as vet, we know that an increasing amount will be requested, which means that it is making far heavier -demands on the taxpayer than any other Crown corporation. It is not accountable to the government, or to any cabinet minister for its operations, and control can be exercised only by Parliament itself, Thus, it is\ only in the par-' liamentary accounts' comn.ittee or in the committee on broad- casting which is set up from time to time, that any real 'con- trol or checking of the corpor- ation can take place, POINTS TO WASTE The highly publicized case of the documentary film made by the CBC on the prime minister at a cost of $35,000, which the corporation then decided not to show, is, I believe, only one example among dozens, or pos- sibly even hundreds, in which money has been wasted. : Had it not been for the pro- ducer of this film, Mr. Ballen- tine, bringing the matter to the attention of the public because he believed his competence and reputation chad' been . brought into question, nothing would' have been heard ef it,
