wR SN nS THE DAILY TIMES.-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Page 4 Thursday, July 10, 1958 Seaway Not A Memorial But Purposeful Project Premier Frost has been subjected to considerable criticism since he ramark- ed last week that an all-Canadian Sea- way might be a good thing for the nat- ional ego. His critics are accusing him of gratuitously disturbing good Cana- dian-U.S. relations, but they are on pretty shaky ground. The St. Lawrence Seaway project was undertaken to provide a good wa- ter route to the heart of the continent, not to memorialize the friendship be- tween the United States and Canada. Its purpose is strictly utilitarian. The project was started as a combin- ed effort only after Canada, fed up by the delaying tactics in the U.S. Con- gress, finally announced that "we will go it alone." Then the U.S, voting blocs who hdd obstructed the project decided that the only way they could exercise any sort of control over the Seaway would be to get the United States into after repor Americanism in icial observa- ents: "In both the recent his negative and destructive i was exploited by the Pro- gressive Conservatives .

Notice how prices are going upward? Well, don't blame it all on the super- markets, Thomas G. McCormack, pres- jdent of Dominion Stores Limited, told shareholders at the company's annual meeting that retail food prices are af- fected not only by rising costs within the industry, but any rise in almost any major commodity. Increases in la- bor costs, steel prices, freight rates and many other economic factors find their way into the retail cost of food. It may be difficult to associate a boost in steel prices with higher cost of food, since it is difficult to think of steel in terms of what we eat. One ap- it. Canada welcomed the co-operation of the United States, but now it is gra=- dually becoming clear that the obstrue= tionists still hope to make operation of the Seaway as difficult as possible, The anti-Seaway blocs in the United States are trying to hoist Seaway tolls; they are trying, by means of le~ gislation, to create pilotage problems; and they are encouraging the growth of future labor problems. That is why the Canadian Govern=- ment should once more be considering the construction of the locks that would, in the St. Lawrence stretch at least, make the Seaway an all-Canad- ian project. Indeed, all that is needed is the building of two locks near Corn= wall, opposite the U.S. locks at Messina, If Premier Frost can be criticized, it is for his reference to the national Sreway is not so much a mat- de as of purpose, f Talks 1 leader has been showing more r the new govern= s that the great- iepends on ited States, snhower can do Diefenbaker to this ego.

If the American commander of NORAD is away, his Canadian deputy can send this mighty joint force into action. Against this background of basic life- and-death confidence, friction about economies, oil, wheat and investments fade into insignificance." Food Cost parent connection of course, is in the realm of tined goods. The container is part of the purchase price, and if it costs more to make the container -- the so-called tin can'is made of thinly-rol- led steel dipped in tin--Well, the con=- sumer has to dig a bit deeper into his pocket Steel prices also hit the food budget in other ways. When steel prices go up, the farmers have to pay more for their farm equipment. Truckers pay for their vehicles. Cost factors rise in rail trans- portation, boosting the demand for higher freight rates. Other rising costs which enter 'into chain of production and distribution also strike into the consumer's food budget. And as Mr, McCormack says, there are few major commodities that do not have an in- fluence on the food market. The Hundred Per Center A Rotary Club pamphlet has an item which could just as well relate to any service club, church organization, 'Boy Scout, Girl Guide or any other group which gathers together for recreation, training or service, It is entitled "The Hundred Per Cent- er," and reads: "Every one in the club knew him as a hundred per-cent attender. For 27 years he had attended without missing a meeting. Every club member knew this and he was pointed out to visitors as the man who attended consecutively and without missing -- 1,400 meetings.

TOMBSTONE TERRITORY QUEEN'S PARK Hydro Mural May Cause Explosion By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent to The Daily Times-Gazette TORONTO foot 'of Hydro's again There's been quite a blow up in art circles recently. PLAN TO MAKE ISSUE Art. That's*what about. Art, the painting picture variety And as soon as the thing is put ap the conformists plan to make an issue of it And what about this time? The traditionalists have been fighting the "moderns" They say that modern art is really just a glorified con game NOT REALLY ART That modern art isn't really art at a!l. But that as everybody is afraid to say this and admit they don't like the stuff they get away with it. It is quite a blow. Which doesn't concern us, 'except that Hydro has got into the middle of it. Seems the Commission ordered a mural for the information build- ing at the new Seaway plant. And it is as 'modern as "mod- ern' can be. Thirty-seven feet of it That second left has been at it To cite one traditionalist "there isn't one piece of form in the whole thing." Here it Is only a few hundred yards away from the Hydro building But what a different outlook. When an eye is cast here its (rst glance is for political impli- cations. And so much of the time the men in the government just can't make Hydro out. Why it should bother with mod- ern art at all, they can't under- stand SOME THINK IT SNOOTY Some people might like it. But the bulk of the public would think it was snooty. And why it should dive in with 2 mammoth production when there .is a controversy at its height is even less understand- able. Not even an office boy in the narliament buildings would make that mistake. And the Commission is making things even more difficult by be- ing coy about what it is paying for the job. On top of trade trips to Britain and other activities which have had to be defended, the govern- ment must feel disinclined to go to bat in this latest effort. One can, in fact, sense an ex- nlosion coming. In some ways it is overdue. MAC'S MEANDERINGS Melton Mowbray | Historic Town By M, McINTYRE HOOD Special London, England, Correspondent to The Times-Gazette MELTON MOWBRAY, Leices- tershire -- We are spending our first weekend away from London since ou: arrival over here. Fri- day evening we arrived in this quaint old town, steeped in his- tory, to spend the weekend with the mother and sister of our old Paris friend, Madame Jean Knecht. We could not resist their gracious invitation, and so here we are, some 105 miles north of London, in the midst of rural England We are still waiting for sum- mer te arrive, however, There has been very little warm sun- shine during the past month -- possibly two or three days at the most. It was the wettest June since 1903, according to the offi- cial weather records. The past week has been particularly bad, with rain for at least part of every day. Thursday night and Friday there was a particularly heavy deluge. From all parts of the south of England there are reports of serious floods, with crops under water, people having to be rescued from their homes in boats, highways and railways biocked, and a general dis- location of communications. FLOODED COUNTRYSIDE It poured rain all the way dur- ing our train journey from. St. Pancras Station in London to Melton Mowbray, with a change at Kettering, a town which we remember' as one of the places in which we were billeted in 1940 immediately after the Dunkirk episode. It was not a pl ant journey. The English lands was blanketed in mist and rain. Everywhere the rivers had over flowed their banks, and turned fields into lakes. Only the tops of fence posts could be seen over the water. Where there were high banks, the river waters were run- ing along in spate-bubbling tor- rents, And still more rain was pouring down to add to the bleak ness of the atmosphere. There was no inducement te look out of the windows, so dreary was the whole aspect of the countryside. It was a great comfort, on ar- rival at Melton Mowbray, to be welcomed into an old house dat- ing back for about 150 years, fill- ed with interesting antique furni- ture, the home of our weekend hostess. The feeling of dreari- ness was dispelled as we sat down. to a delicious meal, fea- tured by the traditionally famous Melton Mowbray pie, whose fame is wel! known even in Canada. Today the weather has. been much better, The rain has stop- ped. The air is warmer, and the sun is making spasmodic efforts to come through the ciouds. So we have been able to see some- thing of the town and its old buildings. HISTORIC TOWN Me.ton Mowbray was founded by one of the knights who came over from Normandy with Wil liam the Conqueror in 1066. Its name is derived from Montbray in Normandy. It is recorded in the Domesday Book compiled in 1086, when the owner of the manor was Geoffrey de Wirce. The dominating feature is its ancient church, St. = Mary's Church, one of the finest medieval churches in the coun- try. Part of it was built in 1170, and a flight of stairs leading to the tower, built in that year, still remains. The tower was begun about 1220. The rest of the body of the church was built during the years from 1280 to 1320. Its hand- ome porch dates back to 1340 and about 1500 a top storey was added to the tower. Credit for the beauty of the church is given to one of the town's famous sons, William de Melton, who held the living from the year 1285 on to 1319, and who was successively a Canon of York, Provost of Beverley and Archbishop of York. It is record- cd that Bishop Latimer preached .n the church in 1553, a year be- fore he was-martyred. We were tremendously -im- pressed by the beauty of the many stained glass windows, and the many memorials inside the BYGONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Alderman S. G. Carnell, his brother Humphrey C. Carn- ell, offered to council the land necessary to extend Hillcroft St. from its present limit to Jarvis St. with The foundations of the Gen- osha Hotel had been laid and steel beams were being put in place. The Police Commission an- nounced that left hand turns would be abolished at the corn- ers of Simcoe and King streets Council authorized the raising of $521,000 for local improve- ments in paving sidewalks and sewers, The Christian Church of Osh- awa announced its intention to join with the United Church of Canada. The Oshawa Daily Times mov- ed -into new quarters. Actually the building was a clever co- ordination of old and new, de- signed by the well-known Osha- wa architect C. C. Stenhouse. The Times celebrated its first anniversary sitc~ changing its name from 'The Reformer." A history of the paper included the stories of W. Clime, the founder, who was first editor and publisher; Abram Farewell, who was responsible for the founding of the paper; Samuel Luke, who was publisher from 1875-1878; and Edward Mundy publisher from 1878 to 1921. The Williams Piano Co. began manufacturing radio sets and cabinets. church. Some of them stood over the tombs of the nobility of the district in bygone days. Space limitations will not permit a full description, but we lingered long inside its walls, enjoying its beauty. ANCIENT BUILDINGS We saw other historical places. One of them was Anne of Cleves' House, presented to Anne of Cleves by King Henry VII It is not recorded that she ever lived there, and it is now used as a restaurant, its panelled rooms with their huge oak beams being very interesting. Opposite the church is the Bede House, founded by Robert Hud- son in 1640. He provided for the accommodation of six indigent old men, who were to receive one shilling and sixpence a week. About 1825 Rev, H. Stover added to the foundation by making pro- vision for six indigent old women, the weekly endowment being in- creased to four shillings a week. This benefaction has been kept up since 1640, and today there are six old men and six old women with their rooms in the Bede House. HUNTING LODGES Melton Mowbray, in bygone days, was a great hunting centre, and there are many old and ex- tensive hunting lodges in and around the town. We saw one palatial place, formerly used by the Duke of Gloucester as a hunt- ing box, and now containing the offices of the Melton Rural Dis- trict Council. The urban council offices are in Egerton Lodge, a magnificent mansion which pre- serves the memory of the Vie- torian days, when the Earl and Countess of Wilton lived there. We had pointed out to us Cravan Lodge, another large mansion, which was used as a hunting box by the Duke of Wind- sor when he was Prince of Wales. And near it, we were shown the house in whi ch the Duke of Wind- sor, before he became King, first met Wallis Warfield Simpson, a meeting that was destined to change the course of British his- ory. There is still some huting in the Melton Mowbray district at the proper season, but it has lost the glamor of bygone days. Like other English towns, Melton Mowbray has been invaded by modern industry, and large new housing areas. have been built around its outskirts. But it still retains an old world flavor that is perhabs best seen in its street : market, We saw it today, with ge gh ET a ary i og Canadian Not Impressed By Juarez Bull Fights By DAVE STUCKAND Canadian Press Staff Writer JUAREZ, Mexico (CP) -- A booklet put out by the American army across the border in Fort Bliss, Tex., notes that the Juarez bull rings offer "many of the fin- est Mexican and Spanish mata- dors." This Canadian obviously chose the wrong corrida. The expedition itself was inex- pensive, two cents toll to stroll over the bridge spanning the coffee-colored Rio Grande and $2 for a ringside seat in the shade. Soon came the band's tradi- tional pasa doble and in came the first bull, scrawny, cat-hammed and as jittery as a contestant on an amateur night for Introverts. TICKLE TORO Manage ment splurged reck- lessly, providing one picador for the softening up. Bull strained in vain to reach picador's horse. Picador's blunt - tipped lance gouged into bull's shoulders. The bull was ready now for the bane of bullfighting, the female matador. The bull was the more graceful, but the senorita man- aged somehow to pincushion his shoulders with the banderillas-- the barbed wands designed to tickle the toro into activity. The tiring senorita was rel'eved by a man wearing a false nose and Charlie Chaplin suit and an. other decked out in a flowing skirt and wig. They were skilled in the art of bloody burlesque -- leapfregging over the bull's horns or sliding underneath his rare charges. They clutched onto his tall in a dangerous game f crack the whip and did a mambo around him when the band broke into a Latin American beat. Only the bull kept any kind of dignity, even in his death dance after a poor] placed sword thrust. The second bull--after attend- ants had scraped the ring much in the manner of the between- periods chore in hockey -- came out determined not to put up with the nonsense. Six times he jackrabbited over the arena barrier, only to find that the gates that were opened to him led back into the ring and his tormentors. Once he retreated across the ring, his shoulders slick with blood, and let out what could only be described as a bellow of despair. The final sword thrust must have come as a relief. Two more bulls were being of- fered on the Sunday afternoon program. It was time to go home. New Deal Sought For Youth In UK. By ROGER STONEBANKS Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP) -- A new deal for the under-21s is being de- ing demanded in Britain. The legal restrictions imposed on those under 21 years of age in the United Kingdom are imbed- ded in a maze of laws, some more than 100 years old. Every- one under 21 is deemed an "in- fant" and cannot vote, marry without parents' consent, own land, be a trustee or make a will. But at the same time a teen- ager is considered old enough to work and pay taxes at 15 to be conscripted into the forces at 18 for two years and risk his life in trouble spots around the world. Leading the advocates of re form in these legal restrictions is Lord Altrincham, the peer whose views on the monarchy re- ceived worldwide publicity a year ago. LOWER VOTING AGE He wants to see the voting age lowered. "This tradition of get- ting the vote at 21 is a hang- over from the upper-class educa- tion system, With voters getting older and older every year we need teen - agers to redress the balance. We don't take our demo- cratic principles seriously enough." The views of the 35- year -old Blame Hunters For Change In Geese Flyway' MOOSE JAW, Sask. (CP)--Sas. katchewan's Fish and Game League thinks bad hunters may be forcing wild geese out of the province In 1938 the wild geese "flyway" through Saskatchewan to the south was through the middle of the province. Now it is along the Alberta boundary. It could move further westward to the Rocky Mountain foothills or the birds might use the Pacific Coast fly- way. Andy Rankin of Moose Jaw, league secretary, sald in an inter- view that hunters, who either don't care or don't know any bet- ier, are forcing the change in the flyway route. Mr. Rankin fisted unfair hunt- ing methods forcing the birds westward: 1. Hunting for long periods and at all hours which doesn't allow the flocks enough time to feed and rest properly; 2. Herding with cars and trac- tors in which a gang of hunters surround a field and converge on the centre, frightening the birds; 3. "Backshooting' or firing at the geese not only when they ar- rive at a feeding ground but also when the birds, after being fright ened, approach a haven. The lesgue's executive has de- cided to recommend a plan to the provincial natural resources department as a means of curb- ing these practices. Mr Rankin said the league has asked the department to set aside a "pilot" region 50 miles long and 30 miles wide in the geese fiy- way. He added this region would be closely watched by patrols of guardians and laws against herd- ing and backshooting enforced. In addition the league has urged that goose hunting be permitted only between sunrise and noon, Smokers' Death Rate Higher WASHINGTON (AP) -- A new U.S. public health service study records the death rate among persons who regularly smoked cigarets alone as 58 per cent greater than that of nonsmokers. Those who used tobacco in any form -- not just cigarets -- are shown to have a death rate 32 per cent greater than for per- sons who have never smoked. The report made public Satur- day was prepared by Dr. Harold F. Dorn, chief statistician for the National Institutes of Health, a part of the health service. Dr. Dorn summarized death rates among 198,926 holders of U.S. government life insurance policies. Hig'yeport covered 7,382 deaths during the period July, 1954-Dec- ember, 1956. its rows of stalls on the main streets, selling everything from fruit, vegetables and flowers to clothing, for both adults and chil- dren, and roils of wallpaper. It was an interesting siglit to see the crowds milling around the stalls, with their proprietors doing a lively business in the par- ticular lines of wares they were offering. peer are shared by the National Council for Civil Liberties, which describes the restrictions as "an- omalous and farcical" and '"un- fair discrimination against the under-21s." Council Secretary Elizabeth Al- len says: "Things have changed since the war and these laws no longer suit the new situation, The whole question needs looking into for none of it makes sense." Miss Allen's feelings are shared by a London evening newspaper, the Star, which com- mented: "As the nuclear age de- velops it is certain that the ac- cent will be more and more on rapid promotion from the great reservoir of Britain's young tal- ent. So what about a youth char- ter for our under-21s?" US. Calls Plane Attack Inhumane WASHINGTON (AP) The United States says inhumane at- tacks by Soviet jet fighters forced down an unarmed U.S, Air Force transport plane in Russia 12 days ago. The state department, describ- ing itself as shocked by the inci- dent, strongly hinted Wednesday it would send a formal protest to Moscow. At the same time, the depart- ment renewed its demand that Russia intervene immediately to arrange release of nine U.S. sol- diers held by East German Com- munist authorities for the last 32 days. The captives were aboard a helicopter that strayed across the East German frontier in a thunderstorm June 7, FOR BETTER HEALTH First-Rid Treatment For Summer Injuries HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD With the kids constantly on the go these warm summer days, it's only natural for them to collect a few minor injuries, such as animal bites and, of course, in- sect stings. So let me give you a few emergency treatment tips for these minor summer hazards. MOST COMMON INJURIES Cuts and wounds probably are among the most common of these injuries. Applying pressure with sterile gauze at the site of the cut will generally halt the flow of blood. It'll give you some ad- vice on how to halt more severe bleeding in another column. Once the blood stops, you can apply 2 per cent Mercurochrome or one-half strength iodine and then bandage with sterile gauze. If the cut is deep or gaping, your doctor may have to use stitches to close it. CHEMICAL BURNS And remember, when iodine is used, it must always be removed with alcohol before dressing is applied. In some persons, even a weak iodine solution will produce chemical burns. Bruises and abrasions are prob- ably the next most common sum- mertime injuries. For a bruise, apply an ice bag or cold cloths for half an hour. If the skin is broken, treat it the same as you would a minor cut. Some abrasions might be dirty and need cleaning. In such cas sponge off the area gently wil mild soap and water, blot it dry and then cover it with 2 per cenl Mercurochrome and, if neces sary, apply a sterile dressing. In case of a sprain, the injured part should be elevated. Apply an ice bag or cold cloths immediate. 1 y. If the swelling is pronounced, and accompanied by pain, sus- pect a fracture. Run your fingers GENTLY over the point where you think the break might be. I it appears uneven, and is tender, don't move the limb at all, but call a doctor. STINGS AND BITES The sting of bite of just about any insect can be soothed by applying a wet pack of baking soda. The honeybee, remember, is the only bee whose sting is at all poisonous. This bee alway: leaves its stinger in the woun and it must be removed before the wound will heal. For animal bites, wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water. Then rinse well with run- ning water. Rabies, of course, is the great danger in such cases. Since the rabies virus is carried in the saliva of the animal, it's important to wash all the saliva from the wound. Always take a bite victim to the doctor immediately and have au- thorities try to apprehend the animal. iid N GO WEST! 1ake the Family, SAVE with the FAMILY TRAIN TRAVEL PLAN Dad: Round Trip Fare For the "Head" of the family.
