Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1964 -- PAGE 6 China's Nuclear Bomb Not Immediate Threat A report emanating from the office of Dean Rusk, secretary of atate for the United States, claims that Communist China will, in the near future, be testing its first nuclear bomb, How this conclusion was reached is not divulged, but since it is known that Soviet Russia, up to 1959, was providing China with nuclear weapen know-how, it would not be surprising if the state- ment is correct. This would add a fifth country to the four already having nuclear weapons in their armories the United States, Russia, Britain and France. The fact that China has been able to develop its first nuclear bomb, and is on the point of testing it, if true, should not -give immediate cause for alarm. The worst that it can do, from the standpoint of the immediate future, is to complicate the efforts which are being made to have the production and use of nuclear weapons banned by all na- tions. Whereas in the past, nego- tiations on this subject have been confined to Britain, Russia and the United States, France and Com- munist China would have to be drawn into the discussions, making them more difficult. Even in China did have its first test explosion within the next week or two, that does not mean that China immediately becomes a dan- gerous nuclear power. It would, experience has shown, take many years of development to give China a sufficient stock of nuclear weapons to become important. It would also take years for China to perfect the means and methods of delivering nuclear weapons. So the free world does not need to rush to panic stations because China has been able to produce an atomic bomb. It will not be any threat to the western world, in the nuclear field, for many years to come, if ever. Cornwall Follows Suit It seems as if members of the grand jury sitting at the fall as- aizes of the Supreme Court, at Corn- wall must have been reading about the fine new court house which was officially opened in Ontario County this week. In fact, one cannot escape the conclusion that they must have heard of Judge Alex Hall's com- ment that the new court house for this country came as a result of "grass roots" pressure from grand juries sitting in the old court house at Whitby. In its report at the Supreme Court sittings in Cornwall this week, the grand jury concurred in complaints that court and jail facili- ties there are outdated and inade- quate, Indeed, its report seems very similar to that which was made by an Ontario County grand jury in 1961, a report which started the ball rolling towards the building of the new court house. The Cornwall grand jury com- mend the present court house there, built in 1835, as being beyond im- provement, and was even more critical of the county jail, which was puilt in 1834, It called upon the county council to make an imme- diate study of the conditions in both places, with a suggestion that it de- termine whether it is feasible to enlarge the court facilities in the old building. It was this technique which was largely responsible for the new On- tario County court house being built and opened this week. Perhaps it will work to the same good pur- pose in Cornwall. Tourist Deficit Soars There was a time when Canada could look to the volume of tourist trade and business coming into this country to redress its unfavorable balances in its export and import business. Figures for the first half of 1964, however, indicate that for. this year the tourist trade balance will go so heavily against Canada that it will add appreciably to the already heavy trade deficit. Figures for the first half of 1964 show that Canadians touring in other countries spent abroad $145: million more than was spent in Can- ada by visiting foreigners. Carried through to its logical conclusion on the basis of the full year, it is esti- ae -spending by Canadian tourists abroad would total $736 million, compared with a total for 1963 or $589 million. Spending by visitors in Canada, it is estimated, would reach $651 million, leaving a deficit of 85 million on tourist ac- count. This would be a substantial addition to be made to the estimated rise in the current account trade deficit. This amounted to $521 mil- lion in 1963 and will probably ex- ceed $600 million in 1964. And the regrettable part of this tourist de- ficit is that spending by Canadian ---------- Bye Osawa Tune T. L. WILSON, Publisher : R. C. ROOKE, General Manager C. J.

Other Editors' Views CANADA'S QUEEN (Winnipeg Tribune) Prime Minister, Pearson's tele- vision appearance recently was chiefly remarkable for a curious omissien--and--a--still_more curious _ slip. He failed to emphasize that the Queen is Queen of Canada and he referred to the Union Jack as the "royal" flag. In view of the noisy objections by a minority of students in Que- bec about the upcoming visit of Queen Elizabeth, of Canada it would have been appropriate if her First Minister in Canada had emphasized this constitutional fact. He did not and thereby missed an opportunity to drive home a point to all Cana- dians that Parliament is composed of the Crown, the Senate and the House of Commons. ' In referring to the Union Jack as the "royal" flag he was guilty of an error that may be common but which hardly befits the Queen's First Minister. The Union Jack is the national flag of the United King- dom of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

I had one on that side a year ago. I have my own first - floor apartment, My son took me over to his home for three weeks. I stayed in bed there for several days, but always had someone lead me into the bath- room. My doctor told me how to exercise my arm and leg so they would not become stiff, After three weeks I entered the Rehabilitation Centre for 28 days. They gave me physical and occupational therapy. The first thing was to strap a pencil on my right hand and I had to practise writing. Then I had to punch things out of metal with my right hand, It was not easy but it loosened up my hand, al- though it is still a little swollen, expecially in damp weather. In physical therapy they exer- cised my arm and leg. They put sand bags on a cane and I had to raise it in front of me as far as I could. They had an exerciser like a bicycle to strengthen my leg. And steps to teach you to walk up and down curbs. It is a most wonderful place. Insur- ance covered the payments. Otherwise it is $35 a day. I have asthma and diabetes, one bad eye and a cataract re- moved from the other. When I come home to my I cooked my own meals, I have a_ cleaning woman once a month, do my personal wash and iron my dresses. I never use a cane inside, I have not been given permission to go out alone; someone goes with me. But I thought you might be interested in knowing about the rehabilitation centre. I never heard of it until I was taken ill. It takes time to do things for yourself, but that is HIGH HOPE FOR CHANNEL TUNNEL Editorial in Cornwall Standard-Freeholder) Will a tunnel under the Eng- lish channel between France and England become a reality in the foreseeable future? Talk of such a project has been heard periodically for more than 160 years, Away back in 180 this. was translated into action when test borings were taken on both sides of the channel. But the giant scheme has never gone much beyond the discussion stage and still remains more or less of a dream. But hopes are high that a cross-channel tunnel will be constructed now that a start has been made on a geological survey to jetermine the line the tunnel will take and whether it will be bored or dredged. The Study Group, which authorized the survey is a joint British, French and American private venture oper- ating in conjunction with the governments of Britain and France, Just recently Britain's minis- ter of transport announced con- struction of the long-discussed tunnel is a certainty. Target date for. the completion is 1974, but not too many are betting the plan to link the English coast with France will come to fruition in view of past develop- ments. The survey itself, cost- ing about $5,000,000, is sched- u'ed for completion in 1966 after which the immense 'construction project would start. eee what helps you. It was seven months before I could bend my knee. I hope that other stroke patients get along as' well. This has all been written with my right hand. -- K. B, S. One letter like this will pro- bably tell you more than sev- eral articles on what is being done, these days, in helping people recover from strokes. Most of us have acquired, over the years, a deathly fear of having a stroke and becoming 'thelpless."" Yet if wise treat- ment begins at once, and pa- tients realize how much can be done by physical and occupa- tional therapy, amazing recov- ery is possible. It is only in fairly recent years that rehabilitation centres have come into widespread use. K.B.S. never heard about the centre where she went, until after she had had her stroke. But see what she says about it! They make you work. They make you try. That's part of the "secret" of their success. In her case, insurance cov- ered the cost. The coverage will vary from st 0 state and company to company, and pol- icy to policy, so I don't want to generalize. But if someone has a stroke in your family, do not forget this letter from K.B.S. Great things are being done. Dear Dr. Molner: Is mono- sodium glutamate salt? I am not supposed to use salt in my food. -- P.M.P. As far as you are concerned it might as well be, because it's the sodium in salt which needs to be avoided in your diet. And monosodium gluta- mate, as the name implies, con- tains sodium. NOTE TO MRS. R.R.: No, sassafras tea won't correct an- emia, Dear Dr. Molner: How effec- tive has ultrasonic sound ther- apy been in the field of medi- cine? I have heard from people the treatment for ar- fhritis with little or no relief. How about arteriosclerosis or Buerger's disease?--M. G. The principle of ultrasound is to project heat deep into the tis- sues by means of high fre- quency sound waves--of such high frequency that we cannot hear them, but still can carry a good deal of energy, just as a very loud noise can have enough energy to rattle or even break windows. Ultrasonic treatments have been successful in acute bursitis (but not the chronic type, or that involving calcium depos- its), and in mild arthritis I have no information indicat- ing that it would be effective in advanced arthrtis, in Buerger's disease or arteriosclerosis, PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM A. moderate is a person who holds the same views that you do, regardless of how extreme they are. Some people are so old-fash- foned they believe a somewhat lower standard of living that people could afford would be preferable to a high one they can't afford. Maybe «money. won't bing happiness, but. it will keep a person from having to pursue happiness barefoot. "To frighten away a shark that mav be menacing you, bite him," advises a scuba diver. And be quick about it. MAC'S MUSINGS It is always unfortunate When a large industry In any community finds Itself closed because of Strike action on the part Of its employees, who are Exercising their proper Rights to withhold their Labor if they believe Conditions should be Changed for the better. It is even more unfortunate When we find an industry Threatened with having to Stop its production and Lay off its employees Because of a strike which Has taken place in another Country, halting the flow Of materials to the plant. We believe that labor Union leaders in Oshawa Are sincere in their desire To avoid going on strike By all possible means Short of foregoing their Fixed convictions that Their members are entitled To improved conditions And fair rates of pay. But in the case of the Stoppage. of work because Of strikes in plants in The United States, these Local union leaders, and Company management are Quite powerless to do Anything to overcome the Shortage of materials. Perhaps it is like asking For the moon, but would Not the ideal situation Be to have everything that A Canadian industry needs Produced in Canada, so that Strikes in the U.S, would Have no bad effect here, Although the day has not Yet come when such Independence is possible.

One-third of the batteries of the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery , will be receiving new 155-milli- metre guns next spting. The other two-thirds will continue to use the present 105 millimetre howitzers, And another change fs that the brigade will now have a 150-man company of an antitank battalion, equipped with weapons specially designed to-cope with tank attacks. ONLY A START From a talk which I had with Defence Minister Hellyer in Lon- don im the spring of this year, 1 have good reason to believe that this is only a stant to the re-equipment of the Canadian Brigade Group in Germany. In answer to questions which I, asked him, he admitted that the brigade was deficient in modern equipment, and particularly in troop-carrying vehicles for the infantry units. Without going into details, he imtimated that steps were under way to provide various types of new equipment and weapons. Now at least part of that program is being carried out. WITH THE BRIGADE During my six years of senv- fee as a foreign correspondent based in London, 1 paid many visits to the Camadian Infantry Brigade Group, which has its headquarters at Soest, in the province of Westphalia. The most important and interesting of these was in October of last year, when I spent a week with the brigade while it was out on a brigade-scale military exer- cise on the plains between Han- over and the Imon Curtain, in the vicinity of Oldenburg. This was a well-planned exer- cise, with the Canatian brigade in the role of defenders of an area behind a river barrier.

Cowan, local director ot the Standard Bank, voiced his approval of the amalgama- tion of the Standard and Ster- ling Banks. Fred Riding, who had been city clerk of the Boys' Council since its onganization,. resigned from his position. A letter to his successor and to the citizens of Oshawa 500 years hence written by City Clerk Fred Hare, was placed in the crypt of the Oshawa War Memorial, which was being erected in memory of those who fell in the First World War. Percy Hayes won the Arcade pionship of the Oshawa Flying easy, with' those Pigeon Club. A "HI-Y" service club was organized by Oshawa High School students, Elected offi- cers were: President, W. Mc- Kay; vice-president, Al Wil- liams; secretary, J. Hare, and treasurer, Murray Johnston. Oshawa's fire loss was $660 for first nine months of the current year according to a report of Fire Chief A. C. Cameron. Local grocers sold butter at $7 cents a pound; eggs 48 cents a odzen; granulated sugar, 16 pounds for 85 cents; fancy biscuits two pounds for 25 cents; bacon 27 cents a pound; prime rib roast of beef 24 cents; leg of lamb 33 cents a pound, and pork chops 20 cents a pound. H. L. Broomfield, newly- appointed general. secretary of the YMCA, was guest speaker at the luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Rotary Club.

CONTRASTS IN EQUIPMENT This stay with the German troops was enlightening, be- cause it enabled us to see how far behind the Germans the Ca- nadian brigade group was in the matter of equipment. This was particularly noticeable in the matter of troop-carrying ve- hicles, The Canadians simply had open trucks, seating eight men, with no means of protec- tion. On the other hand, the Ger- mans were using heavily armor- ed troop-carrying vehicles, which they called "schutzen- panzers", These carried seven men, one of whom manned a heavy machine gun in front. The other six, armed with automatic rifles, were behind thick armor, with openings through which they could fire their weapons BEING REMEDIED I was assured by Defence Minister Hellyer last spring that he was well awame of the \de- ficiencies in Canadian equip to give the brigade armored vehicles as soon as possible.

Jack, his neighbor, was in a similar position at one time; he de- cided to sell his property, and has been spending the winter months in Florida ever since. Jack is quite pleased with his arrangement; he advises George "do what I did, sell the property, buy @ house in Flor- ida, live in it during the win- ter, rent it in the summer, and this way you can have a holi- day almost for nothing'. He warns George though "you have got to be careful when buying; down there'. Geonge agmees.
