" ' oy The Oshavon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, : Friday, February 13, 1959 iFrost Prepares Stage For Ontario Premier Frost appears to have set the stage for an early election in Ontario. CCF leader MacDonald gave him that opportunity by resurrecting the charges about dealings in Northern Ontario Na- tural Gas Co. stceck. Mr. Frost could now go to the province on the issue of his own probity -- which is not an is- sue at all, since it would take a long and diligent search to find voters in the province willing to believe that the premier had been guilty of deliberate dishonesty. Mr, Frost placed himself in a strong" position with his reply this week to Mr. MacDonald's charges, which coin= cided with reported statements by the former mines minister Philip T. Kelly. He rejected the proposal for a royal commission to investigate transactions in the gas pipeline stock and said he had no intention of having a judge or comunissioner passing upon his word against that of Mr, MacDonald. If such an issue arises, he will place it before "the highest tribi'nal in Ontarig, the jury of the people," he said, and voters would be able to assess his honesty against that ef Mr. MacDonald or any- one else, There was another stern note in the premier"s statement. He said several times that he did not know whether Election Mr. Kelly had been accurately reported in the Toronto newspaper accounts, and also quoted from testimony given by Mr. Kelly before the Ontario Secur- ities Commission. There were sharp discrepancies' between the newspaper reports and the sworn evidence, leaving an obvious conclusion that either Mr, Kelly had bgen misquoted or the testi- mony was incorrect. An explanation was due the legislature, Mr. Frost thought, adding that members of the legislature who have been impugned have the right to call their detractors before the bar of the House, The premier's reference to the inves- tigation by the Securities Commission served not only to place Mr. Kelly (and Mr. MacDonald) in a difficult position but also to blunt the demand for a fur- ther inquiry into the matter of the gas pipeline stock. 2 An election called on this issue would be virtually a personal request by Mr. Frost to voters for an expression of opinion on his personal integrity. Such an expression, he would declare, was made necessary by the accusations of the CCF leader. Mr. MacDonald may not be dismayed by a campaign fought in such an atmosphere, but we doubt if his feelings would he shared by Liber- al leader Wintermeyer Because They Are There When one of the leaders of the expe- dition that first conquered Everest was asked why men climbed mountains, he replied "Because they are there." And that is as good a reason as any to ex- plain why men will keep on trying to reach other planets. Astrophysicist Heins Haber said this week that large-scale exploration of the planets (he called some of them "the chemical dungheaps of the solar system") wouldn't be worth the cost. This may be the sensible way of look- ing at it, but the curiosity of human beings has a way of overcoming their : cominon sense, It's a good thing that it does. It probably was not sensible for some man in the dim dark past to spend hours chipping away at a stone to make it round; he could have been much better employed in keeping the sabre-toothed tiger away from his cave. But out of his curiosity came a wheel, which proved to be a pretty useful dis- covery. The sensible way of looking at space exploration is to consider it in the light of earth's needs, As Dr. Haber pointed out, space exploration could result -- "outside the defence and propaganda domain" -- in tremendous improve- ments in communications through the use of relay satellites, in increased knowledge of the oroperties of the earth itself, and even in eventual control of weather. There are enough practical reasons for the continued exploration of space. But no matter how far out into space men reach, there will always be new horizons beckoning, new planets to be explored. One of the great attractions of the moon for astronomers is the way it keeps stirring their curiosity; for one thing, no human being has ever seen its reverse or dark side, Man has learned how to free himself of the bondage o. earth, and even of the layer of atmosphere around the earth, That he will iaunch himself far- ther and farther out beyond the con- fines of earth is as inevitable as were the ocean voyages of discovery once man had learned how to build himself a craft that would float on water and remain more or less under control. As long as there ar- mountains to be climbed or planets to be explored, man will make the attempt--because they're there. 'In Defence Of Anglers One of the way to survive the sort of winter we've been experiencing is to think beautiful thoughts about pleasant things -- fishing, for example. And speaking of fishing, we're pretty fed up with the blown-up legend that ang- lers are given to prevarication, mis- treatment of their families, deception of their bosses and contempt for all who do not know the difference between a spoon and a silver doctor. The legend has been fabricated by small-minded hacks and witless comedians envious of the calm wisdom and quiet good judg- ment that are always found in those who are dedicated to the art of ang- ling. Sometimes, we must admit, contribu- tions to the legend are made with con- siderable skill, particularly when the technique of the half-truth is used. An example of this was the article publish- ed recently in the United States, which said in part: "What makes a fisherman tick? Who knows? But here are a few strange- but-true facts which may help you understand him, A fisherman is a fellow who will do without shoes to buy a new fly rod; he's a fel- low who's not much for garden- ing, but will dig worms with his hye Osama Times T.

"He is a man who will take his wife fishing on Mother's Day . . . He's a nor- mal husband gone crazy or a bright son gone addled; he's the only man who can look at a low spot in his backyard after a rain and think not of how to drain it off, but rather of how he can raise min- nows there. He is the only boy friend who can sit with his girl on a porch swing on a balmy night and wonder whelher the bass will be taking flies or plugs in the morning. Whatever he is, it is not a liar--he's just skilled in the art of exaggerating for emphasis." Note the smear technique, the slip- pery half-truth. "He's a fellow who hasn't the patience to sit through a movie." What movie? Are all movies worth sitting through? All this proves is that the angler is a person of fine critical judgment. Then consider the reference to the .girl on the porch swing. This reveals the high moral quality of the angler; he is thinking fine thoughts, instead of doing what a less trustworthy male might do with a girl on a porch swing, We could continue to take the article apart to expose its failings, but even to have given it this much consideration is probably a mistake, the result of a fit of pique -- a sign of weakness not found in a true, dedicated fisherman.

He was looked on as a pleas- and little guy with big dreams. When he told you something-- and he was always telling some- one something you put your tongue in your cheek and tried not to hurt him by letting' your face fall. This after he had been around for a while, of course, and you kne him better and also his dreams -- like the time he had e yone sold on »" and gas in the north. There were many fallen hopes over that swamp oil. STILL DEFENDS When Phil therefore in the past few days went into a sort of re- prise on the natural gas affair you knew he was still dreaming. His dreams still carry him 'Handouts May Not Be Good Clergy Think By GEORGE CORNELL 'NEW YORK (AP) -- Brother, even if you can spare a dime, it may not be the right thing to do. In fact, from the pastoral view- point, giving a street beggar a handout is apt to aggravate his problem. "It's often hurting rather than helping," says Rt. Rev. Msgr. Michael A. McGuire of St. Step- hen's Roman Catholic Church. "You're encouraging him to con- tinue living that way. And that's cheating him out of a chance." A cross-section of other min- isters shows they hold similar views, and they question the mo- tives of those who blandly shell out a coin to the bleary-eyed pan- handler. "Generally it's not done out of real concern, but to mask our own guilt and responsibility," says Rev. Michael Allen of Grace Episcopal Church. "Everyone is trying to buy peace of mind for 15 cents." MOVED BUMS Recent renovation of the Bow- ery, New York's longtime haunt of derelects, has flushed many of its drink - ravaged habitues into other Manhattan sections to plead for pennies. They've been particularly nu- merous downtown lately, and a minister in that area can hardly step outside his study without being waylaid by one of them. Among skid - road regulars, a clerical collar always has indi- cated a "soft touch." On Sun- days, they're out in force to corner churchgoers. They Toam business districts on weekdays. "Some people give them a dime just to get rid of them," says Rev. Glen E. Pierson of Gustavus Adolphus Lutheran Church. "Others do it just to salve ther own consciences. It's a distorted type of spirituality." In some countries. the beggars point up chis self-serving aim of people with this plaintive plea "Two sous for your soul." GIVING EASY Actually, the ministers say. "It's harder not to-give a nickel than to do it. and to do so usually is dodging the issue--rather than showing true charity. "It's the easy way out," says Rev. Philip S. Watters -of Wash- ington Square Methodist Church "It's a lot easier to give than to take time out to find out the real trouble. It likely does more harm than good." Ordinarily, he adds. the vag rants just want another drink or to accumulate enough change to buy a 35-cent bottle of rotgut whisky. above the fact that it just isn't cricket for a mines minister to go around promoting gas comp- anies, And he tries to defend him- self And one of the defences was that there was a lot of playing the stock-market in the Ontario House and that members came to him in droves looking for tips. THE REVERSE Ahout the first he is right. At stages during the la- to legisla- tures -- and probably the 23 be- fore them--there has been a lot of market gambling by the mem- bers. But the second point is just an- other dream. There may have been the occa- sional still - new member who went to the mines minister for tips. But in most cases i' was he who went to them. KEY POINT It was good, however, to see Mr. Kelly make one point. This was the fact that North- ern Ontario Natural Gas was or- ganized before any main Trans- Canada line was planned through the far-northern route, and was started originally with the con- templation of a multi-million dol- lar lateral to Kapuskasing. Also he explained that most of th2 local franchises had been se- cured before the northern route was decided on and that there- fore a question of bribing muni- cipal officials was ridiculous. (He rept 'edly said "all" the fran- chises, which is wrong.) This matter of timing, of course, is a key point in the whole gas controversy if it is to be kept in focus at all. And it is surprising it hasn't been brought out with more emphasis than it has. There has been a lot .open to criticism in natural ga. affairs. But also ov-- - excited zealots have built them out of propor- tion. And it is in the public in- terest that facts such as the above be given their proper promir nce.

FOR BETTER HEALTH Extra Caution Required For School-Age Child HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD DO YOU have a school-age child? If you do. let's take a sober- ing look at what type of acci- dents present the most danger to him. It might help you drum home the need for extra caution during certain periods of his life. According to statistics prepar- ed by the Metropolitan Life In- surance Company, about 6000 children from the age of 5 to 14 are killed by accidents each year. CANCER LESS DEADLY Cancer, the second leading cause of childhood deaths, claims only about one-third as many lives annually An average of 28 out of every 100000 American bays. and about 12 of every 100,000 girls, of school age will be killed in accidents. this year. While all children should be well versed in all types of safe- ty. and should be fullv aware of all dangers, you might want to stress the need for special cau- tion to avoid the common types of accidents for your youngster's particular age group. If your child is between 5 and 9, motor vehicles probably pre- sent the greatest danger to him. At this age. three out of everv five motor vehicle deaths result from children being struck as they cross or play in the street or driveway Therefore, vou can't over - emphasize warnings against plaving in the streets or crossing against traffic lights. Motor vehicles also are a ma- jor accident threat for young- sters from 10 to 14. However, in this age group, the danger lies in a youngster being struck by a vehicle while he {is riding a Licycle. HOME DANGERS That the home can be a dan. gerous place is also proved by statistics. They show that 16 per cent of the fatalities among school - age boys occur at home. The figure for girls is even greater, 30 per cent. As for the younger girls, fires are a frequent cause of home accidents. In fact, between the ages of 5 and 9, fires rank sec: ond only to motor vehicles as the cause of death among girls. Drownings also bring tragedy to many homes. Boys are vie- tims more frequently than girls. Drownings account for 24 per cent of all fatalities among boys between the ages of 5 and 14; a death rate four times greater than for girls. CHEERFUL NOTE If there is any cheerful thought in al' of these statistics, it is this: While falls account for a great number of school - age injuries, they are seldom fatal to children. Apparently they have more 'bounce to the ounce' than we older folks do. QUESTION AND ANSWER S. T.. When is the best time to take 'vitamin tablets -- before or after meals Answer: It really makes no difference. They are, however, usually taken with meals. A OTTAWA REPORT Scotland's Steel Industry Helped By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The British gov- ernment is going to pump some £50 million into Scotland to help provide more employment for workers in the Scottish steel in- dustry. This money will be pro- vided from government funds to- wards the construction of what will be the biggest industrial project north of the Tweed -- the new steel strip mill in Lanark- . shire. The mill, which will be built by the famous Scottish steel masters, the Colvilles of Ravens. eraig, is to cost £70 million. The Colvilles themselves are putting some £120 million; out of profits, into the project. Now the govern- ment has announced that it will provide the balance of £50 mil- lion required to get the project under way and into operation as quickly as possible, The huge new plant will be a hot continuous strip mill. The sheet steel it will produce is re- quired for everything from motor cars to refrigerators. POLITICAL OBJECTIVE There is a strong feeling, of course, that the government is pumping this money into the steel mill for political considera- tions. It will give jobs to at least 3400 Scots in the mill itself, and as industry is established to util- ize its products, work is exnect- ed to be provided for many thou- sands more. Lord Polwarth re- cently estimated the ultimate benefits of the mill to be 100,000 new jobs in Scotland. The government is making the money available for the mill in eight instalments, starting next October. Interest on the govern- ment cash will be fixed as the money goes in -- based on what rate the government has to pay for its money. BOLD VISION This step is regarded as a bold industrial vision which will keep Britain in front of all Europe in this type of steel. For Scotland, it will mean new prosperity. For Colville's shareholders it will bring more prosperity also, in the shape of bigger profits. But there is one sobering thought about the whole trans- action. There will be an outlay of £20,000 in capital costs for every man given employment in the new mill. NO GARRISON For the first time since the Ancient Britons resisted the in- vasion of their coast by Julius Caesar and hi: Roman legions in 55 B.C., Dover, the historic gate- way to England, will be without a military garrison. When Caesar attempted to land at Dover with his army, he found the white cliffs so strongly defended by the inhabitants of the settlement that he was forced to withdraw and make another landing attemnt at the nearby port of Deal. Ever since then, there has been a British garrison at Dover. It was one of the kev noints in the Brit- Ish coastal defence in the sec- ond world war. In the near future, Connaught Barracks, in Dover. will be va- cated by the Cameron Highland- ers, the regiment now stationed there. No replacement has been named to follow the Camerons. The town will be without troops, but it is announced that the lack of a garrison there will be only temporary. As soon as the Camerons move out of the barracks, the builders and their workmen will move in. Connaught Barracks, located on the heights above the town, are to be completely modernized, to make future garrisons more com- fortable. When the renovations and alterations are completed, the War Office' will name the regiment to move in, and renew the eontinuity of a garrison at Dover. Since the days of Caesar, there have always been troops at Dover. In spite of the growth of atomic weapons, it will still be the policy of the War Office to maintain a garrison there. Practically every regiment in the British army has, down through the centuries, stood guard over the Dover gateway to England. Sometimes -- as in the days of the Napoleonic wars, the garrison has consisted of as many as 15 regiments. CHELSEA CHANGES Another barracks which is due for remodelling and additions, is the famous Chelsea Barracks in London. At a cost of £2,200,000, the War Office has decided to completely transform the 100- year-old barracks, which were built shortly after the close of the Crimean War. The new build- ings will be like an old soldier's dream of a home, There will be a swimming pool, gymnasium, a Naafi shop, a junior ranks' club, and the most up-to-date dining rooms, messes and kitchens. In the n'w scheme is provision for two tall blocks of married quarters, to house 104 so'diers' families in two and three hed- room flats. Two battalions of footguards and two guards' bands will be ac- commodated in the new Chelsea Barracks, which will have sleen- ing quarters for 42 single offi- cers, 57 warrant officers and NCO's and 1042 other ranks. © "Gambling is bad for the mor. ale of people," says Castro.
