A -.-h - Ou Free : The Oshawa Times Published by Canadion Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont, : Page 4 Wednesday, January 21, 1959 Take-Over On DEW Line Supports Sovereignty There will be general approval of the announcement that the RCAF will take over operational control of the DEW line from the United States Alr Force on Feb, 1, The new policy does not. involve any great transfer of per sonpel, but it ix an important step in the reinforcement of Canada's sover~ elgnty in the Aretle, Only 20 RCAF officers are involved, Folly have already been trained in the US, and the others are being trained, They will take over at four main DEW line sites in the Arctie which are cone tiled by the military, There are other stgtions in the DEW line besides the four control sites, but they are auxili- and have no milftary personnel, The DEW line is operated by 709 clvil- lang, 90 per cent of them Canadians, In making the announcement, De- fence Minister Pearkes said: "It will be recalled that the U.S, government was authorized by the Canadian govern- ment to establish the DEW line in Can- ada and to man and operate this line for a certain period on the understand- ing that Canada would be free to re- aries view this decision if conditions should change in the meantime, With the es- tablishment of NORAD, the situation has changed and the RCAF now can as- sume the responsibility for manning the majority of the operational posi~ tions at the DEW line stations in Can- ada," 5 It is true that NORAD has changed the continental defence situation, But it Is also true that Canadians have be~ come more aware of the need to exer= cise Canadian sovereignty in the Arce tic as the possibility grew that we would yield that sovereignty by de- fault, Now Canadian officers will be placed In command at stations at Cape Dyer on Baffin Island, Hall Lake on the Melville Peninsula, Cam bridge Bay on Victoria island ana Cape Parry on Amundsen Gulf, It is not a large addition to our "occupying force" in the Arctic, but it is significant, The occupying force needs further enlargement if the United States and perhaps Russia are not to lay claim to portions of the Arctic which we regard as belonging to Canada, Club's Splendid Service The Omtario County Flying Club op- erates without a great deal of fanfare, and for that reason many Oshuwa and district residents may dismiss it as just another organization designed to give its members some social and recrea- tional enjoyment, But the Flying Club fs much more than that, as the Wings and Trophy annual dinner graphically demonstrated last Saturday, The Club has a fleet of eight aircraft, During 1058 members flew a total of 2614 accldent-free hours, During the year, too, 41 private and three commer« cial pilots were trained here, along with 11 alr cadets, Since its formation fn 1045, the club has trained more than 400 private pilots, 80 commercial pi- lots and about 15 instructors. For last year's annual fly-in breakfast, 231 air- ernft landed at the Oshawa airport, These figures Indicate both the strength of the Flying Club and the ser« vice it Is doing not only the city and Difference In Labor leaders in the United States performed a fine feat of one-upmane ship when they played host to the Sov« fet deputy premier Anastas Mikoyan during his recent tour of their country, They did themselves and their country a service when they seized on the op- portunity to Impress on a Communist leader the position of prestige and pow- er achleved by labor in a capitalistic system Mr, Mikoyan was a guest at the US, national headquarters of the Interna- tional Unlon of Electrical Workers. "Look around you in this trade union headquarters," he was told, "There are lots of them nearby in Washington, We urgn't, exactly bleeding on the streets, are we? Yet you continue to use the propaganda of the big, fat-bellled ca- pitalists with dollar signs on white tuxedo vests, We've come a long way fn America , . . You talk about exploita« tion of our workers by large corpora- tions like General Motors. Well, here we have the rights to battle GM. And we do, Your unlons are nothing but production speed-up units." Of such stuff ls the best, most effect= {vo propaganda made =~ the propagan= surrounding area (and a very large area it is) but also the nation, The training of pilots is an important ser- vice nationally, and not simply to the Individual who wants to know how to fly a plane, To assess the importance of this ser- vice one has only to recall the days of 1040, when the need for airmen was urgent, It was then that the Oshawa airport was established, and a company known as No, 20 Elementary Flying Training School Id, was formed, with A. G, Storie as president and Samuel Trees, George Hart, Charles Robson, T. K. Creighton and Hayden Macdonald among the members. Students from all sections of the Commonwealth took their early training here and about 2500 graduated, Our congratulations its officials and the for Its establishment, Questions da of truth, backed up by the challenge to "see for yourself." The labor leaders missed one chance however, Mikoyan asked? "But why is there no labor party here?" And the reported reply was another question, "Why is there no capitalist party in Russia?" The answers to the two questions have nothing in common, There are, in fact, a labor party and a Socialist party in the United States. The Socialist party in particular has been able to get some public attention over the years, Its leader has been the highly respected Norman Thomas, But it has never been an effective political party simply because it has never been able to gain enough public support, and most Americaris have been able to ex- press their political convictions and de- sires through the two major parties, Republican and Democrat, In other words, if the American people favored a labor party, there would be a strong labor party, It is a matter of choice, The Russians do not have a choice,, of course, There is no capitalist party in Russia not because the. people don't want one but because the Kremlin does not permit it, go to the club, men responsible Fee Racket In Ontario People in Ontario who read a recent article in a U.S, magazine dealing with the "advance fee" racket may have comforted themselves with the thought that such goings-on stopped at the ine ternational boundary, If so, they were kidding themselves, Harold A, Tanton, registrar of real estate for Ontarlo, has The Oshawa Times Tr.

After payment of the advance fee, usually a percent. age of the amount the pseudo-salesman says he can get for the property, he disappears with the money. Up to the time he made the an- nouncement, Mr, Tanton said, all the operators of the racket were known to be U.S. citizens who crossed the border for a day or two, picked up the fees and quickly departed, But he warned that others might try the same dodge Fast talk is the main weapon of the swindler, who assures the victim that his property is sure to sell at a good price and often says that he has a cus- tomer waiting, Mr. Tanton said that in many cases addresses given by the salesmen were non-existent, In one case he investigated, the address given was that of a telephone answering ser- vice, He urged Ontario residents who were approached by salesmen asking for advance deposits for selling prop=- erty to inform his office immediately.

Last Friday, they were Invited as honoured guests to hear President Elsenhower de liver his State of the Unlon address to the Senate and House of Representatives In Joint ses slon, First, the Members of the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the U.S, Con gress, took thelr seats In the hall Then the doorkeeper, equiv alent to our sergeant-at-arms, an nounced the vice-president and members of the United States Senate, who came In and sat down, Then the doorkeeper an nounced the ambassadors and other visiting diplomats from for eign countries who likewise walked in and took seats on the floor of the hall, Those of their wives entitled or able to receive or wangle tickets were sitting, like the wife of the president and other official wives, In the gal leries Then the doorkeeper announced the chief justice and the associate Justices of the Supreme Court who, wearing their black gowns, paraded In and took thelr seats Then likewise came "the mem bers of the cabinet of the pres ident of the United States", Finally, escorted by three sen- ators and three representatives, the president entered, He walked up to the rostrum, immediately beneath the Speaker's raised seal, from which all represent atives always address the House unlike Canada, they do not speak from their place in the chamber CHEERS AND CLAPS As each group came into the hall, the crowds In the galleries and those already seated on the floor clapped. The applause for the president included cheers from the crowd of about 2,500 in the huge hall, who rose to their feet and sustained their welcom Ing applause for a full minite These timed entries of the dif ferent groups forming the au dience. Is more impressive than the informal shamblingin in our Parliament. But the Washington ceremony lacks the splashes of colour provided by the ladic dresses, the diplomatic and mi itary uniforms, and the judge red robes at Ottawa Another very vivid difference was in the reception accorded to the actor at the opening of our Debate for 12 months? Certainly there is no evidence to prove council was on the wrong track in awarding the franchise to the Windsor firm, It appears they were smarter to apply first, than people on the spot. Oshawa has to wake up and the powers-that-be learn some- thing and apply broader minds to running the city's affairs, Ohsawa TRAVELLER THANKS Dear Sir: The Women's Missionary So- clety of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church desires to express Its thanks and appreciation to the Oshawa Times for the published reports of its various meetings.

In Ottawa, everyone rises to their feet and stands, while the Governor-General walks from the entrance to his Throne and, at the conclusion, out #gain. But there is not a murmur of sound then or during the dead-pan lis- tening to his speech from the throne, In Washington, on the contrary, the President is ap- plauded at entry and at depar- ture, and many of his remarks In his address won loud sponta. neous applause. FIGHT INFLATION His most popular remark, loudly applauded was in his urgent plea to fight inflation, "Thrift Is one of the character. istics that have made this nation great; why should we Ignore it now?" "Inflation, he added, "is not a Robin Hood, taking from the rich to give to the poor. Rather, it deals most cruelly with those who can least protect themselves: the pensioner, the widow, the man of thrift, the white collar worker, the minister, the teacher." Of the high cost of defence, he remarked that "We are buying certain bombers that cost their welght in gold, exactly." He declared his Intention to ap- point a commission to map the national goals of his fast-growing country over the next 10 or 25 years, And finally, he declared his in. tention to ask Congress to pass measures to curb labor rack- eteering, to protect workers' funds in union treasuries, to en- sure the rights and freedoms of union members including free and secret ballots, and above all BYGONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO The statistical report presented to the Oshawa Public Welfare Board showed that 37 families had been removed from the re- lief list at the end of December, There were 1215 families and 74 single men still on relief.

J GALLUP POLL OF CANADA Jobs, Roads, Education Subjects For Premiers By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION I a vast invitation wese given to the voters in each of the ten provinces to have a session with the Premier, and talk to him about the problem of greatest concern to them, almost a quar- ter would have nothing in partl- cular to bring up, Well on to an- other quarter would like to chat about matters running the gamut from personal troubles, to con- cern about what country will own space. But the malority of them, about 55 per cent, would get down to brass tacks on five main subjects -- loyment education, better roads, and so- cla] security measures. Taxation would be on the agenda with a goodly number; so would the high cost of living, wages and la- bor headaches. Five years ago, the matter of highv/ays and roads topped lists as the topic 12 per cent of the voters would like to talk about, while unemployment problems were down at the 1 per cent fig ure. Today troubles of the job- less have mounted to 12 per cent, heading the list, as the table be- low shows, Five years ago, the Poll reported that housing prob- lems were tops on the public mind, as first subject for a chat with thelr Premier, brought up 'India Checks Claim Of Red Union Group NEW DELHI (Reuters) -- The Indian government is checking the claim of the Communist-con- trolled All - India Trades Union Congress to the largest union membership in India The claim is In the statutory returns of union membership for the year 1957-58, For the first time, the congress has claimed the allegiance of more workers than the Indian National Trade Union Congress. If the figures are officially ac- cepted, the Communist group will have the right to represent Indian labor at the International Labor Organization in place of the Con- gress group, which Is linked with the Congress party led by Prime Minister Nehru The Communist group of unions has claimed 1,450,000 members, while the Congress group has claimed 1.410.000. While the in- crease in the latter's membership over the previous year fs only ahout 20,000, the Communist group Is claiming about 500,000 more members Whether the Communist claim is accepted In full or not, lahor experts in India are convinced that the Communists have made great strides in their drive to win control of the country's labor force, The pro - Congress newspaper Hindustan 'Times reported re- cently: "The Communist party can reasonably boast of control ling over 80 per cent of the work. ing class." The Communists first got a strong hold on the labor move- ment during the war when the party co-operated with the Brit ish government in the war effort, Communists moved into key po- sitions while many labor leaders who supported the Congress party were in prison for political ae- tivities In the movement for In- dia's Independence, After the war, Congress party 'shor leaders, unable to oust the 'ommunists, established thelr wn federation, which flourished n the first few years of inde- yendence. The Communist group began a determined drive to re- tain control about 1952, It has yeen helped by the rising cost of 'iving which has reduced real earnings, and by the Increasing number of unemployed due to the enormous annual Increase in the labor force. This population in. crease outstrips the millions of new jobs being created by the five-year plan, Those who boast of taking cold baths during blizzards are stoles, fools or liars . . . most likely the latter.

BUNDESEN, MD MANY persons have the mis- taken belief that typhoid fever no longer Is a danger, Well, it shouldn't be a danger, but it is. Typhold fever is a serious in- fectious disease; one which modern science can prevent and control, We know its cause, we know how it Is transmitted and we know how to prevent it, Yet throughout the country many cases occur, NOT LICKED YET Certainly In the face of facts, we can't afford to relax and consider typhold as another dis- ease which has been whipped forever Typhoid fever is caused by the germ typhoid bacillus which enters the body through the mouth, It ranges from very se- vere cases (about 10 per cent of the total are fatal) to ex- tremely mild "walking typhoid" in which the victim doesn't even know he has been stricken, THE SYMPTOMS It takes about 10 to 14 days after the germ has entered the body before symptoms appear, First Indication that something is wrong Is usually a feeling of being tired and worn out. This, generally, Is followed by loss of appetite, dull headache, diarrhea or constipation and a steadily rising fever. Along about the seventh day a rose-colored rash may appear on the abdo- men and chest. The fever probe ably will continue for from two to four weeks. Even moderate cases cause 8 good deal of suffering and are apt to leave the victim in a weakened condition for some time after recovery, As a matter of fact, the death rate of typhold fever victims for as long as three years after re. covery is ahout twice that for others in the same age group, While normally a warm weath. er disease, typhoid can be con. tracted from Impure milk at any time of the year and, from water, especially during cold weather, OTHER SPREADERS Other spreaders of typhold ip. clude insects, particularly the house fly, and shellfish, especial ly oysters, Three Injections of typhoid fever vaccine, which can be given by any physician, will pro- tect you from the disease, Even If you already have been infects ed, It probably will ease the dis. ease, providing It is given before symptoms begin, QUESTION AND ANSWER AS.: What Is the cause of canker sores in the mouth?
