The Oshawa Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 68 King St. E,, Oshawa, Ont, Page 4 Monday, May 25, 1959 Reaching For Planets And Mixing At Cape Canaveral in Florida men spend their time reaching for the stars, Not very far away, in Alabama, men are so worried about the mixing of peo- ple of different skin color that they cannot tolerate even children's books that mix animals of different colors. Here is an Associated Press dispatch from Montgomery, Alabama: "A book for young children about a white rabbit r arrying a black rabbit has drawn protests in Alabama, It was withdrawn from circulation after segre- gationists complained that it reflected pro-integration views, "The book i§ The Rabbits' Wedding, published by Harper Brothers last year for children beiween the ages of three and seven , , "The story tells of the marriage of the black and white rabbits at a moonlight wedding attended by all the other animals of the forest," The publishers issued a statement from the author, Garth Williams, who said: 'I was completely unaware that ani mals with white fur, such as white po- lar bears and white dogs and white The Beaver's When future historians come to write about the people who helped to shape the 20th century, they will inevitably have much to say about a Canadian who started with nothing but his native wit in a hamlet north of Toronto and went on to become one of the massive figures of our time, He Is Lord Beaverbrook -- The Beaver to many thousands who use the name with affection or anger, but al- ways with respect, Today he celebrates his 80th birthday. Few men can look back on 80 more ev- entful years, or a lifetime of morc spec tacular accomplishment As a young financier in Canada, he set the pattern for big business operation in the new century, With newly acquired money, plus the razor-sharp brain and unbounded confidence that wer his na- tural gifts, he then moved to Britain and very quickly established himself there as a potent influence on British life, He be- gan to make history, not simply as a Meaning Of Canadians have deal about deficit financing in the past year or so, They know that the government has to borrow money because it has been spending more than it 'as been taking in.

He became an adviser of statesmen, a maker and breaker of governments, In two world wars, he was one of the architects of victory, both as the head of a newspaper empire and as a direct participant in the affairs of government, Twice British prime ministers called on him to head departments, in which his tremendous capacity for brilliant work and organization could be harnessed to the production and propaganda necessi« ties of a national war effort, Despite his years in Britain, he has lost neither his Canadian accent nor his affection for his native land, New Bruns- wick in particular can look- to him as its patron, with the provincial univer- sity and capital benefiting in most handsome fashion, To The Beaver go our congratula- tions and best wishes for many more vears of full and active life A Deficit Those figures apply to the United States, but the same mathematics would apply in Canada -- with the difference, as commentator C, J Harris points out that since there are about ten times as many families in the United States as in Canada, our costs per average family would be that much higher, In Canada, the figure would be about $200 when the $1,000,000,000 is financed through taxation, or up to $400 per year for years to come if it is financed through bor. rowing. Apart from the hidden cost that infla- tion adds through deficit financing, there is the direct cost of the rental of the money, Five y-ars ago the payment of nterest on the federal public debt cost » taxpayer: $0.1 million a week, Last vear it was up to $11.6 million a week and it will go higher during this vear, In his last budget, Finance Minister Fleming reported a deficit for the fiscal » just ended of $616,600,000 and fore- cest a deficit for the current fiscal vear of $203 million. That makes r total in two years of just over $100 million--the fieure used as an example by the New York Times, Energy could be left to develop- ment under the blind forces of the mar- ket-place, the Star argues. They involve issues of" paramount national importance a fact long recognized by the strict exercised over the export §f electric power, But the old control could be simply administered, It involved nothing like the problems of today, and it was common sense for the govern- ment to set up body which would study these complexities and make re- comraendations 'More expense," the Star mourns "More bureaucracy. More interference All these, to be sure, But how else can the national interest be safeguarded. The problem, we suppose, might have been settled by loading it n tu the du- ties of the Board of Transport Commis- sioners. But that board's primary func- tion is to regulate railway operations, and it has its hands full. On balance, it is better that erergy problems should be tackled full-time by men who un- derstand energy." Trade Minister Churchill has expres- sed the hope tha! effective regulation can be devised without weakening the essential Noy of new capital into the pipeline indi It should be more than a hope, It is vital that the flow of capital not be blocked I'hese not control stry Of immediate importance, too, is the matter of markets. Supply of energy is not a problem. There is plenty--indeed, a substantial surplus.

This is the question which clam- orously poses itself in the light of the latest survey of public opinion which was published on--appro- priately for the Conservative party-the unlucky 13th day of this month, That survey shows an acceler. ating decline In the popular sup- port for the present government, At the March 1958 election, 54 per cent of the voters backed Tory candidates, to give the Right Hon, John Diefenbaker the larg. est following ever attained by any party leader in our House of Commons. , Over the next four months, the Diefenbaker government gained so rapidly In popular esteem that its support rose to 60 per cent, That was the peak, While the popular appeal of Diefenbaker the man remains invincible, that army of three backers in every five Canadians is melting away like the snows in spring; it has tottered to 50 per cent, the low- ost level since the great election sweep, QUEBEC LEADS DECLINE The most severe slump is in the province of Quebec, where a huge one-third has heen slashed off the popular support for the Torles--a trend which was accur- atelv forecast in thi€ column, The decline in the West is also se- vere, In Ontario, thev have lost eight points singe tne Julv peak of #3 per cent; and in the Maritimes they have slipped 10 points to 47 per cent Using this poll of public opinion as the basis for an arbitrary ex. ercise in political arithmetic, we see that, if an election were to be held today, the government would lose a shattering 39 seats in Quebec alone, In that debacle, the fortress of Quebec City would turn solid Rouge': Defence Pro duction Minister Ray O'Hurley the best French-Canadian cabinet minister, would lose his seat, and the party's strongest French: Canadian politician, Col, Pierre Sevigny, would also be defected So would another minister, State Secretary Courtemanche In the Maritimes, the govern: ment would lose eight seats to the Iiberals and one to the CCT, In Ontario the Literals world nick off one seat: while in the West the Liherals wold ain four and the CCF gain (wo from the Torles. In net result, the Conserva- tives would retain 133 seats, giv. ine them a much reduced but still comfortable majority over 101 Liberals and 11 CCF But what If this skid continues? While many Canadians feel a vague disquiet about international affairs beyond the control of our government, domestic eritielsm is little more than disappointment that a record parliamentary ma- jority has not yet produced a gov- ernment strong to act. The trivial falling off in support in nine prov- inces is no more than the antici pated decline in poouldr enthus- iasm between elections, acceler ated slightly by hope deferred among the politically faithful, DOES WELL, SPEAKS BADLY On the whole, scant grounds for eriticism of the government's policies can be found. But much political hay has been made out of warped comment. And for this the government must take full blame, since it insists on spar ring with its guard down, so that the Onposition can always get in a powerful right hook and bloody the government's nose before anv "World "conditions aren't so bad that they couldnt get worse,' says an editor. Yes, but the margin is growing smaller all the time, ten very good reasons for each action, Typical of major issues which have been handled well by the political pitchers, but badly fum bled by the public relations out- fielders, have been the arrow, Newfoundland and immigration, In each of these cases, the gov. ernment adopted what might reasonably have heen assessed as the wisest course; but on each occasion the critics were allowed to unleash the first blow, and the government's subsequent explan ations have never removed that initial smear, As the Torles are thus losing the war of words, it Is clear that they have a lot to learn from the smooth-working party machinery of the former Liberal govern ment. In fact, they have first to copy the blueprint, and then learn how to use the machine which they have not yet created The catastrophic fumbling of Quebec, rated by this poll of puh lie opinion In conjunction with Nicholson's slide-rule as currently costing the Tories 39 of their 51 seats In that province, stems from a crystallization of that de fect: No acknowledged political leader in the province, no trum. pet, and part management which is at least inexperienced and incompetent, if not worse The thought that the Tories have effectively lost 77 per cent of their seats In Quebec in 13 months ought to bring jubilation to the Liberal ranks, Yet their glum faces in the Commons sug gest that they recognize that the decline can be halted and trl umphantly reversed by vigorous action in the coming 40 months before the next election, QUEEN'S PARK Campaign Shows Increased Vigor By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent lo The Oshawa Times TORONTO = There is the usual compiaint from Liberal candi dates of no money in the coffers, One member says the party started with an overdraft and then went N.8.F, Money or not there Is some vigor to the Grit campaign, One welcome innova. tion 1s the wie of bands at the major meetings, Bands mean showmanship, And politics today needs some showmanship, Any- that will breed public inter. est is worthwhile, ,, The grit or. ganization also seems to be dov valoning a bit, At least the party is getting better crowds, About the be 1 that this megns, however is that it may have a reasonably ood machine by the next elec. tion, The present tyros then will helve the experienge of a full cams palgn, This will be enough to give them considerable know-how, In addition they most probably will be (ivhiing a federal eomor'my Between now and then, It is Lib eral policy to use the same men in both fields, The P.C.'s don't, of course, They have separate or: ganizations, At least one observer fen's the Celts would be ive to follow the same practice, The two f'~\ds ere auite 'dif'erent t'av, They even are opposed In certain ("reotlons, Indicative of the er ihre of the Liberal professional efort in the eurvent vo'e wos the attitude of another member to tha offi lal eamnaien Ji*erptive, He felt it was so bad he wouldn't accept it, LAZY P.C'si The Conservatives have heen 13 YEARS AGO The main dormitory of the Oshawa Missionary College was swept by fire, D"mage vas es. timated between $2000 and $4000, Twelve members of the Charles Weeks family, who were regular donors at the Oshawa Bleod Clinie, had made an enviable record of giving 85 donations, Rev, Johu Lindsay, DD, of Oshawa, and former pastor of §t, Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Whitby, resigned a: clerk and treasurer of the Synod of Toronto ard Kingston after 12 yven»s, He had been active in the Preshy. terian Church ministry for al. most half a century All County districts exceeded their objectives in the Sixth Vie. tory Loan Campaign, to reach a total of $4,765,300 The city donated the land situ. sted at the comer of Simeoe and Alexandra streets for the erection of a new nurse ' residence, the gift of Col, and Mrs. RS.

But many young married men face a dilemma, They decide to postpone the purchase of life insurance till their family situation creates a greater need. However, they find later that premiums are higher and in the meantime, they run the risk of being uninsurable. Here's a sound formula for meeting the problem, It's Manufacturers Life's "Security Graph plus G.I.B." -- Security Graph helps avoid costly postponements by setting up a plan for buying insurance according to future needs and ability to pay. G.I.B. is a new policy rider that enables the buyer of a new poliey to purchase more insurance at regular rates at specific dates in the future ~ regardless of changes of health or occupation.
