- The Oshawa Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 68 King St. E.,, Oshawa, Ont. Poge 4 Saturday, April 25, 1959 Frauds Bloom In Spring More things than flowers bloom in the spring--rackets, for instance. There is the "chimney expert" who can spot a split brick in your chimney a block away and almost bursts into tears as he tells you of what will happen salen his services are engaged immedi- y. + There is the fly-by-night humus peddler and lawn sodder -- the fellow who puts sod on your lawn, all right, but never can be found when the crab grass spreads, the dandelions bloom and the wild carrot flourishes, There is the fellow who travels the streets in a non- descript truck, offering nursery stock at what appears to be bargain prices and growing lyrical over the way his offer- ings could improve the appearance of your property--but not mentioning that his stock is largely made up of culls tossed out by responsible nurserymen, Legitimate salesmen can and do pro- vide valuable s*rvice. But the legitimate salesmen can always produce credent- ials and references, They ar: responsi- ble citizens with a stake in a community, not birds of passage who flit into a town and then vanish, , GUEST EDITORIAL Citizens Of By Rev. J. K. Moffat Simcoe St. United Church, Oshawa There is a story about a minister who was visiting an elderly saint who ob- viously didn't have long for this world. The conversation eventually got around to the life after death and to the man's preparation of spirit for this new ad- venture, But the man didn't want to think or speak about it. He grew sud- denly impatient and waved the minister aside saying, "One world at a time pas- tor, one world at a time." While we may sympathize deeply with that man's feelings and under- stand his reluctance to talk about the life to come, it must be set down that the phrase witl. which he dismissed the minister is both unrealistic anc untrue. 'One world at a time' is simply not good enough, To live as though we were just citi- sens of earth and had no relationship with the world of unseen values is to feny our Divine origin and repudiate If the householder is in doubt, he should check with his local 'board of trade, chamber of commerce or better business bureau. A telephone call takes little time, but ean save both money and worry. This spring has seen the beginning of what appears to be a jungle growth of rackets, Some are just within the law-- just barely -- but nevertheless consti- tute sharp practice and are questionable if not criminal. There are others that are outright frauds, In Toronto recently three individuals were arrested and tried for defrauding several elderly wo- men out of a total of $3000 in a house- repair racket; one of the men was cone victed on seven separate fraud counts, another found guilty on one count and sentenced to one year in prison, and the third man given three months in prison on one charge, There are others like them bilking their way around the pro- vince. They get away with their frauds as long as they do because the victims do not do some simple checking in the first place, and then are reluctant to in- forrr the proper authorities after they have been "taken." Two Worlds our heritage. The Apostle Paul was aware of this when he wrote: "We are the children of God and if chiidren then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ" (Romans 8:16). As 'children of God' we bestride both time and eternity and must stake out our claims in both realms. As Christians we are called upon to be citizens of two worlds; dwellers in the world of time and sound and sight, the world of see- able and touchable values but, at the same time, colonists of Heaven, resi- dents of a Kingdom of unseen reality and values. We are meant to be the flavoring ingredient, the illuminating power in, the life of the world but aware also of a destiny that will outlast the stars, Only as we live in terms of this dual citizenshin can God work out His loving purpose for us and for His world. Lay hold then upon this faith and let nothing shame you out of it; and know beyond all doubt that you were meant to be a citizen of two worlds. Good Reference Volume Canada's leap into the ranks of the leading trading nations of the world, and her political stature in internation- al affairs are well recognized in the new Britannica Book of the Year, just released, In this annual encyclopaedia--a mil- lion-word alphabetical history of 1959, produced by about 600 contributing specialists -- the subject of Canada is covered from accidents to agriculture, music to merchant marine, wheat to wines, hockey to hospitals, Some 146 main subjects are listed under "Canada" alone, with numerous other cross ref- erences, * Documented also are the accounts of rockets that blazed into outer space, the saga of the first submarine under polar ice, the struggle of the free world and Communism in the area of world trade, the tides of nationalist revolt that rock- ed nations, the repeated probings by Russia into new sensitive areas and the western effort to counter them, Events are reported from the arts and sciences, business and sports. Indeed, the major news stories of 1058 are recorded in en- cyclopaedia fashion, The 1959 Year Book continues Britan- nica's practice of printing bylined arti- cles of special interest. These run to as many as 25,000 words and are in effect short--book-length treatments of topics of unusual concern. This year three special feature surveys are included: "Russia's New Consumers" by Marquis Childs, "Alaska: The 49th State" by Ernest Gruening, and "The West and the Arabs" by Arnold Toynbee, Alto- gether, the volume is an invaluable work of reference, How The Buildings Grow Canada has its Printing Bureau, and the United States has its capitol at Washington. There is an interesting similarity in their stories. . Here is an American version of the capitol trou- ble: "First the addition to the capitol at Washington was going to cost $10 mil- lion. Then the figure amounted to $12 million, When work got under way, the estimate was $17 million. Now that isn't enough. According to supplemental budget requests to Congress from the president, $21 million should be the fi- nal cost, "Furniture and equipment costs have climbed, too, The architect originally Phe Osha Times T.

"There are some expensive monu- ments around the world. But this new east front of the capitol, replacing the original historic front, will probably outdo them all in this respect, It is, of course, a monument to Speaker Sam Rayburn of Texas. It was not needed. There was no clamor for it, It amounts to historic desecration, But Mr, Sam wanted it, he got it, and costs be dam- ned. It will be a monument to his de- termination and stubbornness."

World Copyright Reserved PCs Charged With 'Muddled Policy' SUDBURY (CP) -- Maj.-Gen. W. H. S. Macklin, retired adju- tant - general of the Canadian Army, sald today the Progressive Conservative government has fol. lowed the 'same muddled and wasteful" defence policy as the Liberals. "In the realm of defence, Ca- nadians have allowed themselves to be .bamboozled, befooled and flim-flammed by pseudo-strate- gists and military quacks," the general sald in a speech to the Engineering Institute of Canada Other comments by Gen Mack- lin: "The taxpayers of Canada have been mulcted of about $500,000,- 000 on the abortive and deplor+ able Arrow interceptor under. taking" "The promised government white paper on defence will likely be filled with the same boring platitudes as were those that came before it, and after we have read it we shall be less well in- formed about the real state of our defences than the Russians "The United States Air Force's Democrats Plan Five-Year Loan Program WASHINGTON (AP) -- Demo- crats proposed today a five-year $7,500,000,000 program for econ- omic development loans abroad in a sweeping revision of the ad- ministration's foreign aid pro- gram, Senator J.

Correspondent, For The Oshawa Times LONDON --- So far, in all the preparatory talks in anticipation of the meeting of foreign min- isters at Geneva on May 11, the western powers are in complete agreement on the principles which must be maintained in the coming discussions with the Soviet representatives. Rumors or suggestions that there had been violent disagreements, or any disagreement at all in the talks between the western powers to date are quite fictitious. The chief aim is to create an atmosphere which will give the foreign min. isters' talks every chance of suc- cess, This assurance came from an authoritative source in the Brit ish Foreign Office, which deplor- ed the highly - colored but purely imaginative reports of disagree- ment emanating from certain United States columnists and commentators.

BUNDESEN, MD Cirrhosis of the liver is one of the ten leading causes of death in the United States today. And the number of fatalities from this disease is increasing! Between the ages of 45 and 64 the only diseases that kill more Americans are heart disease, -- cancer and 'cerebral hemorrhage. Back in 1956 -- the last year for which I have statistics -- cirr- hosis claimed 18,000 lives. Two- thirds of the victims were men. HIGHEST IN EAST According to one report the dis- ease apparently is highest in the eastern industrial states and in California, It is lowest in the South and Southwest. The high. est death rate occurs in the Dis- trict of Columbia, the lowest in South Carolina, We have known for a long time t alcoholismis a. contributing actor to eirrhosis of the liver. More than one-fourth of all deaths from this disease are reported to be associated with alcoholism. DIET TO BLAME Since we have an estimated 5,015,000 alcoholics in this coun- try, the situation might be viewed with alarm. However, we don't nkow the exact relationship be. tween alcoholism and cirrhosis, We believe that it is the poor nutritional diet most alcoholics maintain that causes the trouble, not the liquor itself. One doctor recently wrote in a medical publication: "There is no evidence to sup- port the belief that beverage al- cohol, per se, has an etiological effect on hepatic cirrhosis." RESULT OF NUTRITION The cirrhosis, he says, is the result, not of beverage alcohol, but of poor nutritional intake. In this respect, he says, "The person who drinks 20 bottles of sweet carbonated beverages a day is as likely to develop cirr- hosis as the person who drinks a pint of whisky every day."

Several grandmothers caused much merriment by ap- pearing in the garments of the long ago. The retail merchants of Osh. awa were to commence their weekly half-holiday on May 7 and continue the practice until the end of October, The half-holiday which began as an experiment, had proved so beneficial to em- ployers and employees alike, that it became a permanent institution taken up by the retailers through- out the Dominion. One of the most memorable events in the history of the town was the big banquet and cele. bration of the Great War Vet. erans held in the Armories. was joined by Senators John F. K dy of Massachusetts and Hubert H. Humphrev of Min- nesota in offering amendments to the Mutual Security Act to shift emphasis from military aid to economic assistance in underde- veloped countries.
