She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T...L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1964--PAGE 6 Travel And Adventure 'Series Merits Support * Once again, as it has done tor the past eight years, the Kiwanis Club of Oshawa is presenting tor * the benefit of the citizens of Oshawa "its series of travel and adventure 'programs. While, from the stand- ; point of the Kiwanis Club, this "highly education venture is taken primarily as one of its methods of * raising funds for its worth-while é community service work, this series 'of programs has a far broader * value for the people of this city. : Travelling is a broadening exper- ience, No one can make visits to other countriesswith different, types of civilization without gaining much 'in knowledge and in experience of : how other peoples live. But not too -many of our citizens can undertake - widespread travel. For them, this Kiwanis Club Travel and Adventure series presents a rare opportunity of visualizing what the rest of the world is like, This' year's program for the Communists The Communist Party of Ontario has been holding a conference of « its. provincial committee to make + plans for participation in the muni- 2 cipal elections to be held in the * province towards the end of this ' year.. At this 'conference it was * stated that as many as 60 members - of the Communist . party will be - candidates at these elections. A ; platform has been drawn up, !t 1s » a grandiose document, calling for some drastic measures which no "responsible municipal council could ~ be expected to adopt. >» There is one sinister factor in * the adoption of this platform' for municipal elections. Bruce Mag- * nusson, chairman of the Ontario * party, said that it should be of as- « sistance to the Ontario labor move- ; ment in its support of candidates. > This could. mean two things. It + could be an invitation to Ontario trade union members to support 'Communists candidates, or it could mean an offer on the part of the Communists to support trade union series is one which should have a strong appeal to the public, It should be of special interest to the young people attending the city's secondary schools, for it will make a substantial addition to their edu- cational processes, The program will take its viewers, by motion pictures, to a varied group of countries, it includes India, 'the Bible Lands, the Balkan World, Puerto Rico, Spain, Germany and Berlin. And with the pictures will be informa- tive lectures by highly-qualified travellers, This venture of the Kiwanis Club merits strong support, not because of the purpose to which the proceeds will be put, but because of the intrinsic worth of the type of travel and- adventure program which is being presented, Ushawa citizens are indeed fortunate that this series is being made available to them through the initiative of this progressive service club, Woo Labor candidates who accept the platform, While we are not in agreement with municipal elections being con- ducted on a political party basis, as is the casé in Britain, it has to be accepted that it is common prac- tice for trade union bodies to en- dorse individuals or slates of can- didates for such elections. That is their rightful prerogative if they wish to do so. Ontario labor union' groups, therefore, need tobe on their guard against this expressed inten- tion on the part of the Communist party to use them to further its own ends, and have its platform adopted by Labor groups. We believe that Ontario's organized labor is sound enough to recognize the danger of allowing the Com- munist party to use this method of infiltration into its ranks. Bué it would 'certainly help to clear the air to have trade union organiza- tions all over the province make an emphastic repudiation of this blatant attempt of the Communists to use them for its own ends, An Outdated Subsidy Canadian butter is now on sale in the retail stores of Britain at a price of approximately 45 cents a pound, This is butter for which the Canadian government paid the producers 64 cents a pound under the provisions of the agricultural support prices legislation. It was sold to Britain at a price of 33 1-3 cents a pound. And the difference between the government's support, price for butter and the price re- : ceived from Britain has to be paid by the taxpayers of Canada. These facts, coupled with an in- crease in domestic consumption of butter from 16 pounds a year per person to 19 pounds, form solid grounds for discontinuance of the subsidy which has for years been paid on butter production in this country. The Agricultural Prices Support Act was passed in the immediate postwar period. The idea behind it was to protect the farmers of this She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C.

In the last nine months the re- serves of butter in Canada, stored up as a result of the high price subsidy, have declined from 250 million pounds to 130 million pounds. This is an indication that demand is now outstripping the new production of butter to such an extent that reasonable price levels could be maintained without the present measures of price sup- port. Conditions have changed greatly since the government insti- tuted the subsidy on butter, and it is time that serious consideration was given to allowing butter prices to find their own level. There is no legitimate reason why British butter consumers should be enabled to buy Canadian butter for about 20 cents a pound less than the Cana- dian taxpayers have to pay, while at the same time seeing millions of dollars of their tax money making it possible for Britain to have cheap butter.

As Dr, C.J, Mackenzie says: "Ministers have had little time for leisurely thought about sci- entific matters." Projects for scientific mre- search by the government have too often been handicapped by being cocooned inside the red tape of: administrative depart- ments. And the allocation or withholding of. the necessary government funds has too often depended upon the pensuasive powers of individual ministers when presenting their demands before Treasury Board. VERSUS RED TAPE "Too often, in the existing or- ganizational vacuum, the deci- sion for or against. plans for research is made in fact by the treasury board, largely on the advice of its own staff of civil servants,' said the Glassco re- port, 'These' officials, although possessing widely reco gnized ability, make no claim to scien- tific competence or foresight: Prime Minister Pearson in- vited Dr. Mackenzie, a former president of . the government's National Research Council, to appraise the review by the Glassco commission, and make specific recommendations. Dr. Mackenzie, who has an @X- ceedingly high reputation in TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept, 25, 1964... ; A modern tranatlantic telephone cable between Britain and North America wa inaugurated eight year ago today--in 1956--with a three way exchange. of greeting between London, Ottawa and New York, The $42,000,000 cable from Oban, Scotland, to Clarenville, laid 20 mile apart on the ocean floor. 1804 -- The U.S. Congre 1937--At a loyalty demon- tration for 'Egypt' King Farouk, 22 peron were trampled to death.

This secre- tariat is a small fact-finding and analytical group, whose function is to advise rather than to exercise executive authority. To head it, the prime min- ister has appointed Dr, Frank Arthur Forward, age 62, who was previously head of the de- partment of metallurgy at the University of British Columbia, He joined the faculty at UBC 29 years ago, and has served as consultant to governments and industry over the years. He is a past president of the B.C. As- sociation of Professional Engi- neers, and of the Dominion Council of Professional Engi- neers, As we progress more deeply into the 20th, century, the part played by science in -our lives is expanding daily, The great- est problem facing us today is probably the adaptation of our work force to automation, The intricacies. of research, which is the advance guard of all scien- tific development, are far be- yond the layman's comprehen- sion of MPs and cabinet min- isters. This first step, of creat- ing in effect a scientific adviser to the cabinet, will before long probably be followed by estab- lishing the post of minister of Science -- as has been done in other countries, Wnffe Prime Minister . Pear- son deserves praise for this commonsense step, one cannot help wondering why past prime ministers over the post first World War period have all failed to take this step, At the same time one must offer a palm to the former MP for Sarnia, J.W. Murphy, who long ago suggested this. MAC'S MUSINGS One of the things which Can contribute to making Oshawa an even finer city Is a free interchange of Ideas and thoughts between The various segments which Make up the community. In every city it is almost Inevitable that people Should onganize in. groups According to their varied Interests, occupations and Desires for communication With other bodies with Objectives which are all Directed at making Oshawa A harmonious community. Because of this it is Encouraging to note that A seminar is being held In which the clergy of Oshawa will sit down with Its trade union leaders So that both groups may Better understand and Appreciate the viewpoints Held by the others. Nothing but good can Come from such meetings Of the minds of men who Play an important part In moulding the life of The city and influencing The views of its people. Understanding which is so Vital to harmony and sound Citizenship is bound to Follow from discussions of This kind, and both clergy And Labor leaders. are to Be c ded for arrangi This important seminar, PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Many a mother was saved from having a nervous break- down by the bell -- by the open- ing school bell, that is. A philosopher says life isn't worth living. Even if so, there gt much else we can do about t. There is a large number of people of few words -- but the turnover is terrific. You can't teach an ignorant person anything unless you can first accomplish the difficult task of convincing him he's ig- norant. BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Sept. 25, 1929 The new Children's Shelter located on Centre street was erected at cost of $50,000 on land donated by J. D. Storie. An official of the Department of National Defence visited Osh- awa to inspect possible sites for an airport here. Oshawa's Dominion Cham- pionship Lacrosse team was honored at a banquet here by General Motors, The team had been feted on several occasions since its return from the victori- ous trim to the West. Excavation work was started on. Alexandra street preparatory to paving it Dr. James Moore, of Brook- lin, was elected president of the' S Ontario 'Conservative Association. The Presbyterian General Mission Board announced plans tw build a Ukrainian "Presbyter- ian Church in Oshawa. The Durham County Regiment was awarded battle honors for the Canadian Northwest Rebel- lion of 1885. Excavation work was started for an extension to General Motors Parts and Service Build- ing on Bond street east. Three houses on the site had been demolished. About 75 from Oshawa attend- ed a banquet in Toronto tender- ed to Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, premier of the province. Equipment anvived for dredg- ing operations of the Oshawa Harbor. An early moming fire of mysterious origin completely destroyed the-summer home of Wiltam H. Greenley, Oshawa grocer, on the lake front. It was reported there was no one liv- ing in the cottage.

McINTYRE HOOD There will be sad hearts in the little Clydeside village of Sandbank these days. In that little village, situated on Holy Loch, which had previously achieved fame as the base of the United States Polaris sub- marines, on the Saturday fol- Good Friday in 1963, I saw the launching of a sleek new 12-metre yacht, named the Sovereign. It was a gala day for the community, The ship- building yard there was ablaze with bunting and flags. More decorations hung everywhere they could be placed on the Sovereign. As it slid down the slipway info the water of the. Clyde, it looked the picture of gracefulness, It had speed writ- in all over its slim lines. And as the waters parted to receive it. a great cheer arose from the crowd of spectators, and par- ticularly from the men who had taken part in the building of the Sovereign. The Sovereign was built and launched with high hopes that it would be the yacht to bring beck to the United Kingdom the America's Cup in the 19th chal- lenge since that famous trophy was won by the United States yacht America away back in 1870, Theme was a high degree of confidence that the Sovereign weuld at last turn the tables on the American defenders, and that confidence seemed justi- fied. WELL-DESIGNED YACHT Sovereign, as it came down the slipways at the shipbuilding yard at Sandbank, was a well- designed yacht, produced only after exhaustfve water - tank tests of its potential capabilities for speed, All of the mistakes made in designing the previous challenger, the Sceptre, which fared so badly in the 1958 series of races for the America's Cup had been remedied. There was nothing wrong with the design of Sovereign, She was well above the average of a 12-metre yacht. That was proven in the long series of trial races in which she tested her paces against the Sceptre and aga'nst the Kur- rewa, another possible chal- and the defenders,.would be brought back to London. NOT GOOD ENOUGH But it was not to be, and that is why there will be sad hearts at Sandbank these days Good as she was, the Sovereign was never really in the race with the United States defender the Constellation. She and her crew were really up against a super- yacht that in every sense rep- resented the last word in racing development for vesels of its class. Soveriegn's crew did ther best, taking into consideration their yacht and its collection of sails, But they lost all four races, because they were up against an opponent so far superior in design, in sails, and in ail the other components that enabled her to practically run away from Sovereign in every race. There were some criticisms of the handl'ng of Sovereign, but the plain truth is that she was ya designed for the comparatively quiet waters of the Clyde and the Solent, and not for the high, choppy swells fanned by strong winds out on the Atlantic off Newport, Rhode Island. Sov- ereign was left far behind by YOUR HEALTH _ superior of anything the United States can produce. So perhaps the next time there will be cause for rejoicing rather than sadness, Patchy Loss Of Hair Stems From "Nerves" : BY JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD. Dear Dr. MOlner: What can be done about alopecia areata, or hair falling out in spots? My hair came out in spots and now is growing back, It was dark brown, but now it is gray.--F.H, This patchy loss of hair is quite different from baldness in the usual sense--the hereditary baldness with which we can do little if anything. Rather, it seems to result principally from one of two causes: Some skin (scalp) dis- order, such as ringworm or seborrheic dermatitis; or "nerves." The latter is quite lenger for the America's Cup,*common in women, but occurs built, incidentally, at the same Sandbank yard-as the Sovereign. And when in American waters, in the final series of trial races, Sovereign defeated Kurrewa in eight races out of 10 and estab- Vehed its right to be the Royal Thames Yacht Club's repre- sentative in the races against the American defender, there were still fervent hopes this would be Britain's year, and that the famed trophy, chal- lenges for which have cost mil- lions of dolflans over the last 94 years, for both the challengers QUEEN'S PARK in men, too. Treatment of tension and anx- iety often results in complete cure. A case in point is that of an attractive secretary who was on the verge of buying a wig to hide the spots. She was a tense perfectionist in her work to start with; the patchy loss of hair aggravated her concern even more. Moderate tranquillizers and reassurance that there was no sign of scalp disease' helped her relax, and hair began to: grow again. Much To Lear On New Leader BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Now there is a new person of prominence on our political scene. And what do we know about Andrew Thompson the 39 year old leader of the Ontario Lib- eral party? Mr, Thompson has been & member of the House here since 1959. He came in atfer a big upset, when he won Toronto - Dover- court an old Conservative rid- ing. And he entered as a man marked as promising. : He had made a_ reputation through winning Dovercourt with very little money and a great deal of hard work. And he quickly built up & reputation as an able opposi- tion member. A fluent speaker he had early been a_ social worker and he concentnated on social -problems, healt and welfare. After he won his seat again last fall, and John Winternmeyer retired, he became even more prominent, becoming something of a protege of acting party leader Farquhar Oliver. RURAL APPEAL? He is a city man but doesn't look too much like one, He came to Toronto from Ire- land in his teens and was ed- ucated here, But he is a long, string bean of a man and not a beau brummel. He has a rumpled air about him which has more the touch of the small town than the big city. And though it is felt to be bad for an Ontario political leader to be from Toronto this homeiness may take away some of the Toronto sting in the case of Mr. Thompson. He hasbeen quite a sought- after campaigner and has re- gistered well in the rural areas as well as the cities, Although he has been a bit of a loner, not a big mixer, he has a pleasing personality and has been generally liked. LEADERSHIP ABILITY? His capacity. for leadership, of course, largely has still to be demonstrated. He has shown en occasion, and particularly at the conven- tion he won, that he can make a good, fighting political speech, But we really do not know the wisdom of his judgments, and particularly his potential breadth. His political experience has been langely confined to the social fields. We don't know how he will rate on practical problems such as finance, municipal affairs and agriculture. There still is a lot we have to find out about him. FROMC.A.C.REALTY LIMITED TWO MORTGAGE PLANS FOR HOME OWNERS OR BUYERS! In your case, the fact that the hair has regrown means that the roots were not destroyed, The gray spots do not indi- cate lack of health in the hair but only that the pigment or coloring has been lost. With fur- ther growth the norma] color would possibly return. If it does not--well, there is always dye, or alternatively, it may be time for your hair to be turning gray anyway, This depends on the individual, and some people even have gray hair at a very early age. Dear Dr. Molner: What causes a protruding stomach? My husband is 33, five feet 10 and weighs 205, most of which he carries around his midale, I know this is from overeating, but is it the stomach, the in- testines, or the abdomen mus- cles which have been stretched so far out of shape? He claims he is too far out of proportion to do anything about it now, and is just taking after his side of the family--Mrs, A.M. It's a problem of layers of fat building up inside the abdo- men, Yes, the muscles are stretched by this, but exercise will get them back into good tone if he will reduce gradually. . An enlarged liver, as well as fluid inside the abdominal cav- ity, cam also cause a protru- sion. He isn't "'just taking after his side of the family' except that he is continuing' a habit of eating more than he needs for PAPER MISSED? Call 723-3783 to 7 p.m. Circulation Dept.
