The Oshawa Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 4 Tuesday, September 15, 1959 Macmillan In Favored Position For Election The announcement by Britain's Prime Minister Harold Macmillan on Tues- day that a general election will be held October 8 in the United Kingdom, did not come as a surprise. Long before the prime minister inti- mated last week that he was going to Balmoral Castle, in Scotland, to see the Queen, presumably to set the date for a election, there had been open specu- lation that voting would take place this autumn. The time seems most auspicious for the Conservative Government. It comes not only at the close of a summer of extra fine weather which has put the people in good spirits. but after the country seems to have pulled itself up by its own bootstraps from the long years of austerity during and after World War II. Economically, as one writer recently put it, the British people have never had it as good since the days of Queen Victoria, and they are optimistic about the future, Politically, Mr, Maen ilian's Governe ment seems also to have brought Brite ain out of the eclipse she has suffered ag a world power since being badly buf. feted about during World War II. The period of convalescence from that ill- ness appears to be almost completely over, Mr. Macmillan has grown personally in political stature and popularity. Al- most single handed he set out to heal the breach between Britain and the U.S.A. following Suez, More recently he has appeared eager to set the pace in developing new and more cordial rela- tions between Russia and the Western camp. It was partly due to his initiative in going to Moscow earlier this year which is credited with bringing about the ine terchange of the two chiefs of state in Russia and the United States which bee ging this coming week. It may be only a coincidence, but the election date has been set between the time of Mr. Khrushchev's visit to the U.S.A, and President Eisenhower's visit to Russia. The president's recent successful tour of Western Europe, and the rebuff given this week to the Come munists by the United Nations' security council over Laos, would seem to indi cate that politically, the West is riding high and that Britain can take consid erable credit for initiating this new chapter in international affairs. But basically it is the bright picture on the domestic front which would gecm to be the strongest argument for forecasting a return to the present Government on October 8. A year or more ago the odds would have been against a Tory victory, There was even some indication that there might be a swing to the Liberals which had shown a resurgence under their new young leader, Jo Grimmon. Period Of Euphemism If pay scales are rising around the industrialized world, eo are job titles. Some of them, in fact, have risen near- ly out of sight, and the Christian Sei- ence Monitor often wonders if there are any privates left in the army. Our colleagues on the Lo"don News Chronicle have dubbed this the Age of E:':phemism. In support of the title they point out that rat catchers are now politely called "rodent operatives," garbage men "refuse collectors," and at least one nichtwrtehmoan fancies hime se! a "noctician" Just as many euphemists are at work in the personnel departments of North America. Almost anyone of consequence in the finaneial of managerial field to- day is some kind of vice-president, while lower forms of corporate life sport titles like "assistant to the viee- president," the Moniter observes. Janitors are no longer janitors, but "building superintendents." (We know of one tony building superintendent who has become a "curator of equip- ment.") An elevatér starter was re- ported recently to have been retitled a "building eirculation engineer." This isn't the firet Age of Eupemism to come along. And we're not seriously worried about it. In fact, we're begin- ning to wonder whether ®wé shouldn't etart telling our noctician next time we chat with him that we're a "prose are tist" instead of just a plain old writer, On Capital Punishment Remarks of Lord Parker of Wad- dington, England's lord chief justice, regarding eapital punishment have special Interest for Canadians in view of the federal government's practice of eommuting most of the death sen- tences in recent years, Lord Parker voiced hie views at the recent annual ¢onvention of the Canae dian Bar Association at Vancouver. He sald the death sentence should either be strongly supported of abolished, Britain, too, has & compromise sys. tem, According to Lord Parker a man ean be hanged for some offences and not for others. If a man robs and kills he hangs. If he kills and doesn't rob, he doesn't hang. That provides an uns fair advantage for the man who in- tended to rob, but finde no Money oh his vietim, If a man ghoots a woman under Enge lish law he hangs. But if he stabs her he doeen't. If he kills a policeman in any manner he hangs, The whole thing, according to Lord Parker, is a political compromise and a bad one. Lord Parker estabilshed eo basis of agreement for both the opponents and supporters of capital punishment, The law should be changed If the governs ment hae no intention Hf abiding by it.

The truth is that 48 people we are much mote prone to take Sur vacations south of the border, "To some extent this is understand able. But going south can often be a good deal leks rewarding than discovers ing one's own land.

Out of this will come -- is maybe al- ready coming -- a new appreciation of the eountry that is Canada. Bible Thought For we até his workmanship.--Ephe- siang 2:10.

Other Editor's Views GUARDING KARUSHCHEV (Buffalo Evening News) There will be demonstrations against the Soviet ehieftain during his trans tonitinental tour of the U.S. Most of them will be merely sincere manifestas tions of anti-Boviet feelings, But the ¢hanee that mere fanatic elements may attempt offensive aets cannot be ignors ed. Whatever measires the American security fofeés consider necessary to guard Khrushchev, they are definitely indicated. e WAIT FOR KHRUSHCHEV oy IT WORLD GALLUP POLL World Opinion Supports U.S-Russian Exchanges By The World Gallup Poll The Eisenhower:Krushchev ex- ¢hange of visits meets with a re: sounding endorsement from citi- géns around the globe.

Behind the over whelming approval of the history making venture in personal diplo- macy is one more instance of world public opinion taking the point of view that "it's always better to talk things over", or, in the words of President Eisen hower, 'Peace is the imperative of our times." In only one nation did disap- proval of the visit run higher than 20 per cent. That came, in- terestingly enough, in the U.S. Two out of three Americans in- tetviewed 18 major cities, how ever, do approve of the Russian Premier's visit.

Insurance Against Infidelity By M. MCINTYRE HOOD Bpecial London (Eng) Correspondent For The Oshawe Times LONDON -- Something new in the field of insurance has been developed in the Uhlted King- dom by Arthur Harrison, a Bir mingham iisurance broker. He has devised a scheme whereby youni men whose fancees go off on a holiday to the continent can take out an insurance pol ity against the risk of broken romances, If the gir] finde a new sweetheart in some continental Romeo, and marries him, then . her boy friend In England can collect from the insurance com- y. He can claim up to £1000 rance for the wrecking of his plans for matrimony. Mr. Herrleonh is now ih his first summer in this line of ine surance business, which he thought up as a lucrative side line. So far, he has issued 180 policies to young men whose fi ancées have been holidaying on the continent, The rates charged vary with the age of the git]. He hae fig- - ured them out on the basls that younger girls are liable to be more flighty and are a more risky proposition. For a girl be Sweter the ages of 17 and 25 the premi®h is £7 for a policy calling for £500 compensation if she find © another sweetheart on the continent. For the girls be- tween 25 and 80, the premium is cut to £5. Most of the girls who are cov: ered by the insurance policies says Mr, Harrison, seem to be tyniets, models or 'shop assist ants. Asked as to the type of men taking out the policies, he re plied: "They are usually older than the girls. Those whose girl friends were going to Spain, Ihaly and France seem the most wortled, They are mostly the jealous types." One policy-holder put #t this way: "Some English girls go all ga-ga when they meet up with a good-looking Frenchman of Italian. My girl is off to the somth of France with a girl friend. She it only going for two weeks, bist things happen quickly in these parts." Bo far, however, the travelling flanceeg have a perfect record for faithfulness, "So far," admitted Mr. Harri sof, 'we have not had to pay out a shilling in elaims."
