She Osharon Time Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, AUGUST 10, 1964 -- PAGE 6 City, Size Of Oshawa, Killed In Ten Years Summer weekend traffic is now at its peak. If you doubt it, read _ the grim roundups of weekend traf- fic deaths published in the news- papers each Monday. If the same number of. persons were killed in a plane crash or some other disaster, there would be big headlines and a@ great public outcry. Meanwhile, the death figures mount, and few people seem to realize what those figures mean over a period. John Atkinson, general chairman of the Canadian Highway Safety Council has put it this way: 'For the last 10 years, 32,940 people died on our highways. This is a city the size of Guelph, Ontario." Noting that 336,754 road accidents were recorded in 1963, he looked forward a decade. "Based on the existing trend, we will lose a city the size of Oshawa." He went on: "In addition to this, we have in- jured (many seriously) 870,000 peo- ple in the past 10 years. This is equivalent to the combined popu- lations of Calgary, Edmonton, Fred- ericton, St, John's, Halifax, London Shooting In ooting I As the excitement over the con- frontation in the Gulf of Tonkin is smothered under a foam of words, cooler assessment of last week's crisis-making incidents may be pos- sible. If it was the intention of the North Vietnamese, possibly prod- ded by the Communist Chinese, to test the American will, they have had their answer. The American re- action was strong, even violent. But considering the time and place, could the Communists have ex- pected anything else? It's possible the southeast Asian Communists cannot see beyond their own cockpit, but it seems incredible that they do not have some inkling of what the situation is in the Unit- ed States, wih a presidential elec- tion in the offing, and with one of the candidates vigorously attacking what he claims is the administra- tion's "'no-win" policy in Southeast Asia. : There is, indeed, an atmosphere of puzzlement about the whole af- fair, The motive of testing Ameri- can willingness to accept a challenge does not stand examination. Nor does the suggestion that the Com- munists are trying to provoke the and Shawinigan. In the 10-year per- iod one and three-quarters million people were involved in property- damage accidents, two and a half million in all road accidents. The total economic loss known to us was two and three-quarters billion dol- lars. The hidden economic loss was $22 billion." He said that in man's life span, some.70 years, the equivalent of the total population of Canada, plus 23,572,780 would die in road traffic. He was attempting to give cold statistics some meaning as he urg- ed every Canadian, as an individual, to realize his personal involvement and responsibility in the matter of highway safety. But do people real- ly care? We wonder. If these were | figures for some disease, they would indicate an epidemic; there would be a great drive for funds for research, volunteer organiza- tions would spring up in every com- munity, action would be demanded of governments, Well, it's an epidemic, isn't it? The Gulf United States into commiting an open aggression which would give the Chinese a chance to lead a "holy crusade" against the Americans-- once again the time and place are against the Chinese, who are in a poor position to fight a major war in terrain which gives a massive advantage to the side with a big technological superiority rather than an edge in manpower. It's possible that the Chinese saw an opportunity to embarrass the Kremlin. They are undoubtedly much more interested at the mo- ment in their ideological struggle with Premier Khrushchev, a strug- gle to decide the leadership of the Communist world, than they are in pecking away at the U.S. There is always the possibility, however, that this was another of those grim absurdities which have all too often started wars -- that the action in the Gulf of Tonkin was not a planned attack at all, but the result of nervous confusion by jumpy men on a stormy sea. At least that would explain why fragile mo tor torpedo boats would suddenly attack destroyers -- vessels which are designed. to hunt down and de- stroy MTBs. Hays Hits Obstacles During the early months of the Pearson government, we had some harsh things to say about Agricul- ture Minister Harry Hays -- he was gadding about too much, was not paying attention to Parliament and to his department. We've chang- ed our opinion. Mr. Hays still gads about, but purposefully, it seems; he doesn't waste Parliament's time; he answers questions briefly but adequately; his. statements are clear and to the point. If gadding brings results, more members of the Pearson cabinet should try it -- along with selected members of the opposing parties. Mr. Hays knows agriculture -- that goes without saying. But he knows it from both the side of the practical farmer and the big busi- She Oshawa Sines T. L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

The Establishment is the civil service, and more. It is the whole enormous federal administrative apparatus; it is not simply a col- lection of people, it is. a state: of mind. Mr. Hays thought a shakeup would improve his department, make it more Vigorous, generate fresh aproaches. This, of course, would mean changing some jobs, He proceeded to act and immed- iately encountered the big obstac- les, as he himself has admitted: Political patronage and The Estab- lishment. His words reflect his puzzled frustration: "You know what I've got to do before I trans- fer these people? Promote them!" We hope Mr. Hays keeps up his good work.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The case of the postal workers who are now involved in negotiations with the post office department for higher wages received a large measure of support when the annual report of the postmaster. YOUR HEALTH general for the fiscal year of 1963-1964 was issued. This report showed that as a whole, the post office increased its profit considerably during that year. The overall profit rose to $92.1 million, an in- crease of $55.8 million over the profit shown in the previous 12 months, The major factor in producing Back, Hip Pains Raise Questions By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My hus- band has arthritis in the lum- bar region (lower back and hip) and has been told to keep ac- tive and take aspirin if the pain becomes severe. For six years he worked and the pain left him almost com- pletely. A year ago he accepted a supervisor's job which in- cludes driving a pick-up truck all day. Within two months his trouble returned and worsened .by the day. He won't even bend his back because it hurts too much, --Mrs. C.B.C, I wonder if his problem is en- tirely arthritis--or only partly. Diagnosis is extremely import- ant. Not every pain is arthritis. Further more, there are differ- ent kinds of arthritis. Your mention of pain in his back and hip raises the ques- tion at least. Could neuritis be involved? Could some of the pain be in the muscles, per- haps? Other than the arthritis itself, is some pain preventing him from moving? As a result of immobility stiffness from the arthritis will increase and in turn this will be more powerful when he moves the joints. A pad, cushion, or backrest, when he sits in the truck may give him more support for the back; and change his posture enough to make him much more comfortable. Dear Dr. Molner: Exercises have been developed to strengthen respiration (breath- ing) muscles."" What are these exercises?--Mrs. E. L. A very simple but effective TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Aug. 10, 1964...

Then lower your arms and throw the shoulders forward as you exhale. (This is also a good exercise for people who dor'c have emphysema.) Dear Dr. Molner: My three- year-old son' started stuttering six. months ago. The condition is getting worse. Is this heredit- ary? What advice can you of- fer?--Mrs. 1.H. No, it's not hereditary. It is generally the result of too much tension, trying too hard, being worried about speech, etc. First, don't put pressure on the youngster. Second, get some professional adyice on how to handle the problem, If there is continual discord in the family, or if the child is being pushed too hard to learn to do this, that and the other thing, sus- pect emotional tension. Dear Dr, Molner: Is the con- tinued daily use of mineral oil for constipation injurious? C.E. It can be, in that it can inter- fere with vitamin absorption, I doubt that many people, if any, need it on a daily basis any- way. I see no harm in the oc- casional use of mineral oil, however, when it is really needed, It is gentle, instead of irritating like purgatives. GALLUP POLL the large overall surplus was the profit on the telecommunica- tions service, which totalled $112.5 million. On the other hand, there was a loss on the postal services, due to increas- ed costs of operation. POSTAL LOSSES For the second successive year, the returns from the postal services were disappoint- ing and showed a substantial loss in spite of some higher charges being imposed, | Al- though the income from this branch was $47.4 higher than in. the previous year, there was a loss on its operations of $23.4 million, as compared with a loss of $24.3 million in the previous year. The number of letters, cards and prined papers handled went up by 400 million to about 11,000 million. But the cost of providing the serv- ice kept in step with income. Increases in the staff costs alone amounted to $33 million. The postal services, however, were not uniformly unprofit- able. Inland letters, although earning $3.9 million less than in the previous year, still show- ed a profit of $25.8 million. Overseas letters also earned a profit of $4.2 million. These are the figures at which the post office workers and the postmen are taking a look as they go into negotiations for higher wages. LOSS ON PARCELS The heaviest loss in the post- al branch was. shown on the handling of inland parcels, which produced a loss of $25.5 million. There was a loss of $12.6 million on inland printed papers and newspapers. Like other nationalized indus- tries, the post office has a financial target for the five years beginning with the fiscal year of 1963-1964. In its case, the target is a return of eight per cent on all its assets. In the first of these five years, the telecommunications return, at 8.8 per cent, was $26.1 mil- lion above its target. But the postal reurn, at 10.3 per cent, was $31.5° million short of its target. During the year, half a mil- lion new telephones were in- Stalled. Inland telephone calls increased by 429 million to 5,724 million. Overseas calls rose by.one million to 9.8 mil- lion. Inland post telegrams, however,: showed a loss in revenue of $6.9 million. The number of messages handled dropped from 13.9 million to 11.7 million. Relations With States Good, Majority Thinks By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) The subject of Canada-U.S. relations is one of constant concern to Canadians. Almost seven-in-ten people in this coun- try see no deterioration § in those relations, under President Lyndon Johnson. This compares favorably when the same trend question was asked during President Eisenhower's regime. Then 69% said relations between TOTAL 11% 57 26 1 No opinion 5 Excellent 100% Canada and the United States were excellent or good. Twenty- seven per cent rated them fair or poor, ' Ontario is most satisfied with Canada-U.S. relations, with 75% saying they are. excellent or good. Quebec is least satisfied. Sixty-one percent say excellent or good; 33% say fair or poor. The question: "Would you say that relations between Canada and the U;S., under President Johnson, on the whole, are excellent, good, just fair or poor?"

Church By GERALD MILLER VATICAN CITY (AP)--In an age of change and crisis, the Roman Catholic Church is mov- ing toward a showdown on some of the major issues of modern times. : The stirrings within the church encompass such ques- tions as its position on artificial birth control, the population ex- plosion, relations with commu- nism, race relations and its role in an age of space exploration, atomic weapons and emerging nations. What directions the church will take will become clearer next month with the resumption Sept. 14 of the Vatican ecumen- ical council--the third session. Before the prelates will be a draft schema on "the church-in the modern world." Much change has already taken place. "It can be said that the Cath- olic Church is remeasuring all that in the past was categori- cally prohibited," said one church source recently. ; Church historians say that not since the first century has the Catholic Church been so aware o* its public image. This -has accounted, at least in part, for some of the external changes. For example, the change in nuns' apparel by many orders, from long robes and tight head- Pieces to simple black dresses and bonnets. CHANGES WITHIN But there have 'been signifi- cant changes within the church. In recent years there has been less emphasis on proclamation of dogma for Catholics and more emphasis on explaining and clarifying the things that all Christians have in common. The church has also been try- ing to exert stronger moral in- fluence on the problems of the day: Racism, anti-semitism and other social disorders. At the same time, some older manifes- tations of Catholicism have been declining in importance, The in- dex of forbidden books has be- come a static list and there is a talk of scrapping it alto- gether. Catholic social agencies have mushroomed and are turning their attention more from the masses of Western Europe to the indigent of Latin America and Africa, Under the pressure of bishops serving those areas, there is an effort to change the image of the church from a rich and mysterious presence into a strong and sympathetic agency for aid to the needy, Much of the new movement in the church today is due directly to the late Pope John XXIII. Much of the outcome-will rest with Pope Paul VI. SOME FEAR CHANGE Within the church are 'con- Servatives who feel that tradi- tionalism: is strength, that sud- den change could mean disrup- pion doubts and danger to the aith. BY-GONE DAYS Aug. 11, 1899 (65 YEARS AGO) The town clock was "again on a tear" and it was necessary to' send for Philip Taylor of Whitby to "make the necessary repairs." Why the work was being done '"'out of town" was hard for the Vindicator to understand, Unless, it offered, "an outsider. will work cheaper than our local watchmakers," Under Additional Locals column was this item: The Min- ister of Justice has commuted the sentence of Eddie Elliott, the 16-year-old murderer, - imprisonment for life. The execution was to have taken place at Whitby on Aug. 17th. A Comments by Onlooker column carried this item: Miss Maud Spencer of Leeds, Eng- land had broken her engage- ment with George Arundel, a young engineer, and secured $250 damages in a breach of promise suit by her lover--re- turning his letters with the errors in spelling ang grammar corrected in red ink. East Whitby council member Stocks gave notice that at the next meeting he would intro- duce a bylaw to appoint a col- lector of taxes for "this muni- cipality." At Pickering, a barn "owned by Mrs. Gardner and occupied by Mr. Simons," was totally de- stroyed together with upwards of $1,000 worth of this season's crops. Sparks from a threshing machine in the barn were thought to have started the fire. This was reported to be the third barn which burned at the same place. Menominee Indians of Wisconsin were reported "making as much money in lumber operations as are the Osages at farming." The 1,300 men, women and children had accumulated a tribal fund of $1,000,000 by the sale of pine logs in past years. The It was reported that an Eng- lish lighthouse had had to be moved back from the sea by rail. The house, weighing 120 tons- and made almost entirely of steel, had to be drawn part of the distance through water. Its removal was necessitated by the "gradual encroachments of the sea." ' The steamer Cambria called at. Whitby on her Thousand Island trip, but was unable to land owing to the shallow water. Other prelates--largely _pas- toral bishops who live and work away from Rome--say that if the church is to survive in an age of scepticism, doubt and materialistic philosophy, it must change. The great crucible for the bubbling renewal is the ecu- menical council started by. Pope John, It got under way in Octo- ber, 1962. Pope John gave tendencies toward change great impetus. The council provided the platform. ; Pope John said he wanted to open the windows of the church and let in fresh air. Pope Paul has pledged himself to carry on John's program. It is true that after two ses- sions, the bulk of the council's work still lies ahead. But the changes already undertaken have had profound meaning for the modernization movement. The council's liturgy reform makes it possible for the first time for Roman Catholics to celebrate most of the mass and sacraments in their own lan- guage instead of Latin. The council also has expressed ap- proval of modern styles in ec- clesiastical art and the use of native instruments such as tom- toms in placer of pipe organs in primitive countries. Pope Paul has broken years of Official Vatican silence to say that the church is studying the controversial issue of birth con- trol in the light of new develop- ments, DIVIDE ON ISSUE Some theologians say that pills that control ovulation: pe- riods and thus help make the rhythm method more exact may not constitute contra ception. Other theologians maintain that they do. In announcing the study June 23, Pope Paul reaffirmed the traditiona] ehurch ban on artifi- cial birth control. A knowledgeable Vatican source said: "The new attitude of the Cath- olic Church with regard to birth control demonstrates the ten- dency of the church of today to QUEEN'S PARK has rendered more i more proud and less inclined to. accept sufferings it conside: pointless."" oe ae It is in the same spirit that. other recent changes have about, re The church, for example, has "= al ban eased the tradtion against cremation, no condemning it for Catholics in areas where local custom or Shortage of cemetery make burial difficult. mitted for worshippers who for special reasons cannot atten mass on Sunday. nee?

OUTLOOK MODERN Pope Paul, who has the ulti. <> mate power to decide the issues, "= so far has taken few major, clear-cut administrative actions 3 val to speed up the process of mod. «* ernization, But he has left no ca doubt that his outlook is mod- = ern. In his first year as Pope he has told the Roman Curia--the mainly conservative central ad- « ministration of the church--that it must reform. He made a pil- ; grimage to the Holy Land and there had the first personal meeting between the heads of the Cat holic and Orthodox churches in five centuries, Although he has taken a harder stand against commu- ~ nism 'than Pope John, he is maintaining contacts with Iron Curtain countries in an effort to establish better relations. There are those whorsay that for all this, Pope Paul is mov- ing more slowly than John. Pope John was a man in a hurry. He was 77 when he became Pope. He often said he hadn't much time. But Pope Paul was 65 when elected. He has every reason to expect more time to bring about what he desires for the church. Province In Poor Spot To Complain BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--As this is written the Canadian provincial pre- miers are meeting at Jasper, Alta., and reportedly trying to wrangle out the problem of in- dustry stealing between prov- inces, Ontario, it has been said, is to lead the attack on provinces which have been making extra- ordinary efforts to lure new in- dustry into their borders. Its sights are set on Quebec, which has been insisting that all companies doing business with the government have ap office, and in mast cases @ plant, wittan the province, and with Nova Scotia,® which through its industrial estates has been making most attrac- tive financial terms available to new manufacturers. It's most likely the discus- sions won't get anywhere. POOR POSITION Ontario is in a very poor po- sition to protest against the ef- forts of other jurisdictions to come up a step in life. Compared to the rest of Can- ada, we have been living high on the hog in this province now for some decades. Our prosper- ity has been based largely on the people of the other prov- inces, who have been our cus- tomers. Their position for the most part. has not been nearly as good as ours. STUDENTS TRAIN NOW FOR AN EXCITING NEW FUTURE SECRETARY TYPIST ADMINISTRATOR And frankly--and this is the brutal . point--we haven't cared a damn. There have been certain things we might have done to boost the economy of the other provinces. But, except for the rare and somewhat grudging instance -- such as Hydro's recent pur- chases of Nova Scotia coal--we _ really haven't cared. CAN'T STOP It is just as well that we ap- °° preciate this now, when it ap- pears as though there is poten- = tial bad feeling over the ef- forts of the other provinces to get a bigger share of the eco- nomic pie. ' They have it coming to them. And it's most unlikely any- thing we have to say is going to deter them. In fact, chances are that if we say much at all, it will be -- highly resented. It might be just as well if we made token objection and ~ then got back to minding our own business--to sit back and watch the other provinces grow, help them if we can. If we want to be selfish about it we can take the reassurance that the more they grow the more we will grow.
