She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher -- TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1964--PAGE 6 Close Result Predicted In U.K. General Election The British general election, scheduled for October 15, promises to be the closest that country has seen since back in the early years of the 20th century. It will be even closer than the election of 1951, in which Sir Winston Churchill ousted the Laborites from office, but with a margin of in the neighborhood of 20 seats. Had the election been held a year ago, it is safe to say that it would have resulted in a resounding Labor victory. At that time, the Conserva- tive party was in the doldrums. Successive scandals had cast doubts on the leadership of Harold Mac- millan. Labor was riding high. ' In the last 12 months, there has been a significant Conservative re- vival, While Sir Alec Douglas-Home cannot be, termed an inspiring leader, he has won public approval by his forthright pronouncements. He has created a much improved public image for his party. He has united the different factions within it and transformed it into an effec- tive fighting force. This has all become obvious in the trend shown by public opinion polls in recent months. For instance, the latest Daily Mail poll actually shows the Tories ahead of Labor. The Daily Telegraph poll, which three or four months ago gave Tabor an 11 per cent lead, now shows that lead to be cut to five per cent. The margin may Jevel out even more before election day. Because of the fact that Labor holds Jarge majorities in industrial areas, it requires a majority of at least four per cent in the overall popular vote in order to break even with the government. If its margin falls appreciably below that figure, Labor's hopes of forming the next government will fade. Results of past by-elections can be disregarded. This is an all-out election battle, fought with the full resources of the major parties in the field. With the election issues narrowed down, the voters will give much thought to the excellent econ- omic position they; have achieved as individuals under 'ory rule. That may be one of the deciding factors in the election. Even so, after assessing all the factors which enter into the voting habits of the British elections, it is difficult to foresee anything other than a situation approaching a stalemate. The Liberals will not be a decisive factor in the roll-call of elected members, although they might influence the results in some constituencies. This will help Labor to win some seats from the govern- ment, but hardly enough to cause a substantial turnover of the present administration. One would hesitate to predict which party will have the majority after October 15. But it is safe to predict that whichever party comes out on top, the result will be so close as to create the possibility of another election before 12 months have elapsed. Auto Industrys Record Canada's automobile production js a fairly certain indication of the Btate of the Canadian economy. By this standard, the latest figures is- sued by the Motor Vehicle Manu- facturers' Association, give encour- aging evidence of a steady growth of the country's prosperity. It is axiomatic that sales arid production of motor vehicles increase in pro- portion to the ability of the popul- ation of Canada to acquire these symbols of improved living stan- dards. The report of the Motor Vehicle Manufacturers' Association shows that up to September 12, the Cana- dian motor vehicle industry pro- duced 484,991 motor cars and trucks, compared with 408,876 in the same period of 1963. This: works out at an increase of almost 20 per cent over last year. iis gratifying, from the stand- point of Oshawa and the people of this city to note that General Motors of Canada played an important part in this increased automotive pro- duction. The figures show that up to Sept. 12, General Motors produ- ced 198,400 automobiles, compared with 174,0589 in the same period last year. In the field of motor trucks, General Motors this year produced 35,725 trucks, compared With 29,101 in the same period of 1963. This inereased production; of course, means increased employ- ment and higher payrolls, which in turn produce greater prosperity and higher standards of living for the people of Oshawa. This affects not only those whose breadwinners are _ employed by General Motors, .but She Oshawa Sines T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, General Manager C.

Oshawa has become a better place in which to live because of the success of the efforts of General Motors management and employees, to produce motor vehicles which are meeting with a large measure of public acceptance. There is good reason for optimism concerning the future of this great automobile industry and of this city which stands to benefit from any expansion gion of pro- duction in its gr@est industry. Canada's economy is showing a de- finite upward trend, and this, in turn, will necessitate the provision of more automobiles and trucks to meet the growing demand. Past experience has shown that when a situation of this kind develops, Oshawa's automobile industry is in the forefront of meeting the de- mands of the public. We are confi- dent that this will continue to be so, and that the people of this city will profit accordingly.

I am not referring to those who are absent, although the daily attendance during the flag debate was cynically low. The House of Commons has no tru- ant. officer, but imposes fines for absenteeism under the honor system. When I suggest that our MPs should be put under stricter discipline, I refer to the fre- quent infringement: of the rules of procedure and debate, and to the immature standards of decorum in the Chamber shown by too many MPs. Here is a typical example from a recent day. During the unreasonably protracted ques- tion period, one party leader and two former cabinet minis- ters asked questions which were out of order, because they did not measure up to the require- ment of being urgent and of na- tional. importance. They should have been submitted as written questions, as the rules permit YOUR HEALTH House While those questions were being asked, the questioners almost inaudible owing to the buzz of conversation among other members, much of which was pitked up by the micro- phones and amplified. POPULAR SPEAKER The maintenance of order in 'the House is the duty of the Speaker,Hon . Alan Macnaugh- ton. This slim, dignified Mont- realer is a charming man, an able lawyer, and very success- ful in private life. He deserv- edly won acclaim as an admir- able chairman of the important public accounts committee in past sessions. But his warm friendliness makes him too kind to MPs who overstep the rules. Canadians visiting the public galleries have expressed their shock at the lack of order in the chamber, which at times seems more like a schoolroom of unruly teen-agers. A strong Speaker would halt this, and he would smarten up MPs by a friendly private word with those whose conduct, inattentiveness Smoking Aggravates Condition In Lungs By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD Dear Dr, Molner: Please ex- plain emphysema. 1 gather it has something to do with smok- ing.--E.1. Emphysema comes from a Greek word meaning inflation. The emphysema with which we are concerned healthwise means that the lungs do not in- flate and deflate properly, Smoking greatly aggravates emphysema; what really starts it is not known, Anyone with emphysema shoul 'give up smoking completely. Em ph y- sema isn't something you can cure; your goal is to prevent it from getting worse. Dear Doctor: What can you suggest other than _ quitting smoking for a person with em- physema? Is there any exer- CISE? Any medicine? --W.L. Yes, there are nearly a dozen things that can be done, but emphysema treatment can be complex and the best regimen must be individualized to suit each patient. The degree to which he is affected by the ail- ment makes a great deal of dif- ference. How much difficulty does he' have in getting his breath? é Simple breathing exercises can be helpful.b¥ encouraging the greatest possible use of the lungs and not leaving all the work for the power parts. Positive pressure breathing equipment and oxygen are used Sometimes using oxygen: once or twice a day makes a notice- éble difference. A variety of medications are effective, too. Again, remember that this is not a matter of "shotgun medication." The right drug must be used for the particular type of difficulty, Among those frequently used ar> bronchial dilators; medica- tions to loosen phlegm and other secretions in the lungs end respiratory passages; in- halants to relax spasm in the respiratory system if that is significant part of the problem. Yes, giving up smoking is a vitally important part of the treatment, and that is some- thing you can and must do for yourself. Dear Dr, Molner: The doctor Says my husband has arterio. Sclerosis. Is this the same ag atherosclerosis?--MRS, L. B, They are both forms of hard- ening of the arteries. Athero- sclerosis usually refers to thick- ening of the inner lining ot the small arteries as in parts of the heart, kidney and eye. Arterio- sclerosis implies a thickening of the wall of the larger arteries, such as the aorta (main artery leading from the heart) and the large arteries of the legs. The fatty deposits which ac- cumulate in the lining (athero- sclerosis) are more liable to ob- struct circulation by causing formation of clots. Dear Dr. Molner: I have arthritis of the spine and hips. I get relief from-warm baths, and am thinking of buying a whirlpool device that I can use in my tub. Would it give longer- lasting relief?--MRS, R. K, A whirlpool bath is an ae- cepted form of physiotherany and such devices are now avail- able for home use. I would ex- pect this to help you. It can be used as often as necessary for relief. Whether it will' make re- lief longer lasting is hard to say, but probably yes. CURFEW EFFECTIVE MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Offi- clals say a 1-a.m. curfew im- posed on lower-class night clubs Six yeans ago and the instaila- tion of thousands of street lights have cut the crime rate. Rec- ords show a: daily average of eight persons jailed now com- pared with 35 previously, mainly assaults by drunks, i very bad oe and even dress does not meas- the highest assembly of the land. There is one particularly un- disciplined group who talk to- read' newspapers, solve crosswords, chew gum, sleep and generally pay no attention to the proceedings; they look indeed from the gal- leries. Mr. Speaker Macnaugh- ton sadly refers to them as "'the rat-pack'"' in private, but does nothing in public or in private to smarten them up. CABINET WORRIED I don't betievé- that Alan, liked and admired by all MPs though he is, really enjoys his position; his qualifications would have, made him more successful as a cabinet minister administering a depart ment. The cabinet is worried about his manner of handling the House, amd many MPs are very dis- tressed by the bad atmosphere he has permitted: It seems probable that the will not serve the nearly five years of a nor- mal parliamentary session, for one reason or another. Sooner or later, perhaps ina later Parliament, his Speaker's chair will certainly be filled by his depty, Lucien Lamoureux from Cornwall. Lucien, a good looking "'youngster" of 44, is sitting in only his second par- liament; but he is well versed in Parliament Hill customs, hav: ing previously served on the personal staff of that disting- uished former minister, Lionel Chevrier. When Lucien is presiding over the chamber, as deputy to Mr. Speaker Macnaughton, he has given evidence of. a. willingness to insist that the rules be ob- served and decorum main- tained. He has won the respect of ail quarters of the House, and with the added authority of the status of Speaker, he would most likely bring the House back to the discipline and the slick, smooth conduct of its af- fairs which it has not known since the days of that great speaker, Ross Macdonald, now Senator Macdonald, between 1949-1953.

Wai gethor, MAC'S MEDITATIONS Personality Of Le aders Factor In U.K. Election ' By M. McINTYRE HOOD If there is any one thing which I regret in returning to Canada at this time, it lies in the fact that. I will miss the general election campaign which is now in, full. swing in the United Kingdom. I recall so well the campaign of 1959, in which Harold Macmillan, now retired, _ and Hugh Gaiitskell, now de- ceased, were the leaders of the two major parties. I had the experience . of following these two leaders in their campaign tours to various parts of Eng- land and Scotland, of hearing their appeals to the electors and o* assessing their respective chances for success. In that campaign, I came to the conclusion that the Con- servative party would win a substantial number of Labor Seats, and increase its majority in the House of Commons. In anticles which I wrote at that time, I predicted a Conserva- tive majority of around.75 to 80. At the same time, the British national newspapers were fore- casting a reduction in the for- mr government majority of 55. Actually, the Conservatives did even better than any of the estimates, by securing a major- ity of 100 over the combined opposition. DIFFERENT TIME In this 1964 election, however, things will be different. The two major parties have new leaders. In Sir Alex Douglas- Home, the Conservatives have a man quite different from Har- old Macmillan as their leader. T had many contacts with -him when he was Commonwealth Relations Secretary other journalists in London, I was one of those who felt that a mistake had been made in appointing him foreign secre- tary. But he has proved us all wrong. Behind his fragile ap- pearance and somewhat effemi- nge voice, he revealed that he was a man of steel, who could hold his own with Gromyko, Couve de Murville, Dean Rusk and the others whom he had to face in international ex- MAC'S MUSINGS There has been something Of a thrill in coming back To Oshawa after over six Years of life in another Country, six years which Have been packed with High experience, the joys Of travelling in. many Other countries, and seeing How people live in other Parts of the world, It has been fascinating To have this experience And to learn to know the People of other countries, But behind it all there Has been the pull of home And of family and of Friends in the city from Which we separated over Six long years ago, The greatest. thrill of Homecoming has been the Realization that old friends Still remember us, and Greet us on the street, Making us feel welcome, In a way that never made Itself. felt on the other Side of the Atlantic.

He has brought cohesion to the Tory ranks by scan- dals and blunders. He has won friends. for his party by his frank and forthright statements, on the problems of governing Britain in the mid-sixties. He has pulled his party out of the slough of despond. - NEW LABOR LEADER Harold Wilson, the new leader of the Labor party, does not measure up to the stature of the late Hugh Gaitskell. He is more inclined to conpromise in the effort to keep his party united, and that is no easy matter in a party with*a mili- tant left wing, an obdurate right wing, and a centre group which forms the core of trade union Socialism. Nevertheless, Harold Wilson is a shrewd and clever politician. He isan academic Socialist, rather than one who has gradu- ated through the hard school of READERS VIEWS 3s tant, but apart from national. ization and national defence, there is not too much difference between the outlook of the two parties. In a situation of this kind, the personality of the leaders could: spell the ence between success and fail- ure. Only on October 15 will it be known which has been most successful in getting a favor- able image across to the voting public, ' Westmount Kiwanians Plea For Worthy Cause Mr. Editor: i I am writing to you as. Chair- man of the "Foster Child" com- mittee of the Kiwanis Club of Westmount, The Club has adop- ted a nine year old Columbian * child through the "Foster Par- ents" Plan. We have had Padro two years and, during this time, I have been growing increas- ing'y concerned of what will become of children who will not be reached by the Charitable hand of "Plan." While the giant international game of political chess is played across the con- ference tables of the world, hun- dreds of thousands of sick and hungry children sit and wait. But the hunger, of children can not be appeased by long speeches, treaties and delays; the child who is sick cannot be cure dby phrases and rhetoric. Their need is immediate and immediate help is the concern of "Foster Parents' Plan." These sick and hungry children who find their long-time futile prayers suddenly answered with love and material help will aever forget that across the oceans there are people who care, These children are the coming" generation. World Peace and mutual tolerance many rest in their hands. How important it is then, that these future adults remember with warm gratitude the far-off people who befriended them in their time of dire need, Surely, the "adoption" of these children through "Plan" is a greatspiritual satisfaction but, just as surely, it is a great material investment of the future. Foster Parents have helped to rehabilitete more than 76,000 children and are currently car- ing for more than 35,000. With each figure, it is a job well done but it is only a beginning--there are so many thousands of child- ren waiting. These children must not be denied, for our future and theirs can no longer be separa- ted. I am not writing this letret for "Plan."' I am not tnying to sell, an idea. I am writing because help.is needed and if anyone can possibly help please have them contact m eand I wil] supply all the information they require.
