Page 4 Friday, October 2, 1959 Oil Blast Postponement Disarmament Sidelight The abandonment of plans to use an H-bomb in an attempt to release the ofl in the Athabasca tar sands helps to illuminate the difficulties of disarma- 'ment. Mines Minister Comtois said in Otta~ wa Wednesday: "I don't think there is a possibility of a blast taking place in the near future." Asked whether re- laxation of international tension was the reason for this decision, he said, "That is my impression." Dr. John Convey, director of the fed- eral mines branch and head of a joint federal-provincial-industrial committee set up to study the feasibility of the Athabasca blast, said: "With new talk of banning nuclear tests, this thing may be out entirely. All explosions are in the same basket right now. However, if an international agreement to ban nuclear explosions is reached, they may make an exception of tests for peaceful uses or underground blasts such as this one," The world, however, has not reached the state of trust where one nation will simply accept the word of another that a nuclear explosion is for peaceful pur- poses only. We are suspicious enough to want to see for ourselves -- and this makes necessary a proper system of ine ternational control and inspection. There are two main objections against renewed testing of nuclear weapons, The tests add to the pollution of the atmosphere, and increase the weight of armaments. At the same time, the same energy that could be so destructive in war could be a tremendously powerful servant of peaceful men, and used peacefully its harmful by-products could undoubtedly be controlled, A ban on nuclear explosions that would forbid the peaceful use of nue clear energy would be a retrograde step, even though agreement on such a ban would probably be easier to reach than one that permitted explos- ions under certain circumstances, Pumping Back Niagara It may spon be economically feasible to use nuclear power to pump water back over Niagara Falls fo ensure suf- ficient hydro-electric power, according to Dr. W. B. Lewis, vice-president of research and development for Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. This is a wonderfully simple concept, and it is odd that more has not been said about it before now. Perhaps that is because only the proposal itself is simple. The factors involved in the re- running of water through hydro-electric turbines are not simple at all. What eould be done at Niagara Falls could be done wherever there is a suf- ficient fall of water to justify the build- ing of a plant to develop hydro-electric power. But water has other uses be- sides power development, Suppose we take Niagara Falls as an example. If any substantial amount of water were used and re-used in the Niagara power plants, it would be removed from the flow of the Niagara River. That means it would be removed from Lake Ontario and from the St. Law- rence River. The lake level would be lowered, which would affect all the ports and commercial and industrial enterprises that depend on the water's being at a certain level. The St. Law~ rence flow would be diminished, which would affect the Seaway and the de- velopment of power along the Seaway. Possibly enough water could be di- verted into the Great Lakes above Ni- agara--possibly from a river such as the Albany, that flows into James Bay --i0 compensate for pump-back. But then another drainage area would be diminished. Winter Construction Some interesting moves were made by builders in this district last winter to overcome the traditional winter slump in construction, One enterpris- ing builder, for example, used plastic covers to enable outside work to con- tinue despite cold weather. Such efforts should be encouraged. The building industry is Canada's big~ gest employer of labor, and conse- quently the indusiry's activity or lack of it has a direct influence on the well~ being of the whole community, It is encouraging, therefore, to read in the Canadian construction magazine National Builder, that this "could be our best winter ever for steady employ- ment." The magazine says that new construction techniques, new materials and better understanding of the econo- mics of winter building have been Hard Sell In Canadian exporters of consumer goods who want to get back into the British market after 20 years of exclu- sion may find that what is needed is the "hard sell," reports 8. G. Tregaskes, commercial secretary in London, writ ing in the latest issue of "Foreign Trade." With the Briton's increase in purchasing power goes a trend toward North American sales methods, and a stiffer battle for a share of the consu- mer's pound. In the past two decades, industry in the United Kingdom has become much more diversified and emphasizes the mass production of a wide range of consumer goods far more than in pre- war years. Nevertheless, the Canadian exporter will probably not find it any tougher than the domestic market. In fact, the tariff preference applicable to most Canadian consumer goods will help in meeting foreign competition, Some Canadian companies will find also that their products offer advan- tages of styling, packaging, finish, or The Oshawa Times 7.

Studies in dif ferent parts of the country by the Nat- fonal Research Council's division of building research and experiments on the site by builders and manufacture ers have developed new ways of over- coming the difficulties of sub-zero temperatures and heavy snowfall, Until very recently, building came to a full stop in Canada during the wine tertime. Considerable progress has been made in the last few years, but the swing between summer peak volume and winter lulls is still "about 50 per cent greater than we can afford," the magazine says. "Closing down in wine ter is an expensive and wasteful way to operate, No manufacturer would tol- erate it and it is time builders quit tole erating it as w-" Britain range of sizes. Others will be able to compete purely on price and some may discover that their products are unique or exclusive, With these advantages, and the re- alization that the British market of to- day reduires a vastly different tech- nique than in 1938 or 1939, the Canad- ian manufacturer should find that the U.K. consumer is well worth cultivate ing and that the effort brings results.

A. Valleau, former super- 1 tntendent of the Oshawa Railway, Yield One-One Tie By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Two federal byv- elections in Ontario early this month are not expected to change the relative strength of our par- liamentary parties. In Hastings - Frontenac a new representative is to be elected in place of the late secretary for external affairs, Hon. Sidney Smith, This is a country riding in old Ontario, historically solidly Conservative, which last year gave Dr. Smith 70 per cent of the votes polled, for a comfortable majority of 8,419. Even the Lib- erals de that the C va. tives should have no problem to hold that safe seat. In Russell County, within the Liberal stronghold of Greater Ottawa, there should be a closer race in the election of a succes sor to the late Joe Gour, French. Canadian owner of a general store, Russell starts at the east bank of the Rideau River, which visit- ors to Ottawa will remember as flowing within sight of Govern- ment House and almost passing the prime minister's residence. Thus Russell conains the eastern suburbs of Ottawa, as well as a huge tract of farmland and bush east of the city including several small communities. Its backbone has long been the solidly Frenche Canadian town of Eastview, =p arated from Ottawa proper only by the width of the Rideau River. FAST GROWING CAPITAL In recent years huge new sub. urbs have grown up on the farm- lands adjoining Eastview, and these are as solidly English- speaking. This whole complex is a bunk city for a large section of Ottawa's civil servants, Russell is traditionally a safe Liberal seat. It has not returned a Conservative MP since 1882, But in the Diefenbaker sweep of last year, the Liberal polled a bare 150 votes in excess of half those cast, while abortive CCF and Socred candidates hived off 1,800 of the anti-Liberal voters, Paul Tardif, an experienced French-Canadian politician, who has had 20 years of rough activity in Ottawa municipal politics, is running under the Liberal bane ner. The Conservative candidate is once again a real estate sales- man whose political experience amounts to two electoral defeats in this riding. The split in political allegiance in Russell is clean cut: French- Canadian Eastview solidly Lib. eral, the English-speaking hous- ing developments similarly Con- servative. So Liberal strategy is consolidate what they have got, was appointed customs appraiser here. { Miss Maud Salmon, graduate of the commercial department of Oshawa High School, received a certificate for a typewriting rec- ord obtained for the school which showed a speed of 65.5 words per minute, Whitby's sewage pumping sta- tion was nearing completion, Port Perry council accepted the resignati of the following to by the platform stimulus cust: ary with French Canadian crowds. The' Conservatives, sure that their English-speaking can- didate can hold the English- speaking districts, are concen- trating their efforts upon a mas- sive assault in strength on East. view. No less than 15 Quebec MPs form the door-to-door ean- vassing team and speaking pan. els under the direction of Asso- ciate Defence Minister Pierre Se- vignv, who not merely knows the whole book on political campaign- ing, but has added two or three tactical appendices of his own. GOOD CLEAN FIGHT Mr. Sevigny seems to have set the tone of cleanliness even if it has grown into a very active campaign, I think he faces an in. superable handicap in an unin. spir and tail-down candidate, But a lazy start born of smug confidence, the Liberals are now working so hard to counter the Sevigny drive that even Lib- eral Leader Lester B. Pearson is taking the unusual step of partici. pating, making two speaking for. ays into Ottawa's Frenchiest sub- urb. As he does not readily under- stand the patois, especially when uttered in the Lo-Fi verbal Niag- ara which is local campaigning practice, his blushes are saved while his supporters warp history, hog-tie themselves with semantie ropes, and advocate policies which would ruin us all. Of these, the chief is the locally pop- ular theme that the Canadian tax. payers owe the eivil servants an even lusher living than they now have--a good vote-catcher in that four members: Waddell, Me- Intyre, Lucas and Campbell, and an election was ordered to fil the vacancies.

BUNDESEN, MD WHAT is the question most per- sons would like to ask their doc- tors, but don't? Certainly it's not a query about some disease or illness. If you are sick, you go to a doctor and ask him wkat is wrong. At least 1 hope you do "POSTPONED" QUESTION No, this "'posiponed" question doesn't require an immediate answer or it would spur you into checking with your doctor quick- ly. And since 2lmost everyone is diet and food conscious these days, yet so many of you fail to get the necessary adequate nutrition from the meals you eat, 1 firmly believe the ques- tion most of you would like to ask a competent authority is simply: "What is the foundation for a good diet?" THINK ABOUT IT Think it over for a minute, Haven't you wondered about this every once in a while? Wouldn't you like to know just what should comprise your daily diet? Well, the answer is a relative- ly easy one. If you are a healthy adult, you should choose a vari- ety of foods each day from the following groups: Meats -- Meats, fish, poultry, €ggs, dry beans, peas and nuts; two or more servings. Vgtabls and Fruits -- Dark green or yellow vegetables, cit- rus fruit or tomatoes; four or more servings eaten each day. Dairy Foods -- Milk. Evervone should have at least two cups of milk each day. Expectant mothers require a . riched or whole - minimum of four cups and nurs- ing mothers need at least six cups. Cheese, ice cream and other milk-made foods can supply a portion of your daily milk re- quirements. Breads and Cereals En- rain cereals; four or more . And re- member, added milk improves the nutritional value of cereals. FOUNDATION OF DIET And that's ali there is to it. This is the foundation of any good diet. Those of you who are very active will require more of these and other foods than those who lead sedentary lives. Simply by .controlling the amount of food you consume you can, af* least to some ex- tent, control your weight. You can also cut down on calorie and fat consumption by limiting the use of sugars and fats at the table and in preparing meals. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. C. S.: What can be done for poor circulation? Answer: There are many modern drugs to improve circu- lation. Your private physician would be the best judge as to which is advisable for you to use. NEW SPRINGHILL PLANT SPRINGHILL, N.S.

The wood- working plant will specialize in pre-cut homes and house tr. «os. "Civilization is suffering from many pains these days," says a sociologist. Yes, and, more's the pity, none of them seem to be growing pains. "At the speed of light, a yard- stick would have a length of zero," says a relativist. It would come in handy for measuring from here to here. Many an old timer wonders how he managed to a the various home remedies that were forced upon (and into) him when he was a child. Then there is the man who drives a car as if he were dead set and determined to arrive at his destination in the shortest time possible or never.

BRITISH ELECTION Southern Region Tough Ground For Socialists By M. McNTYRE HOOD Special to The Oshawa Times _ LONDON lan face of the countryside, and the intru- sion of a large number of Liberal candidates are two factors which inject a special interest into the election prospects 'in Middlesex and Sussex. These counties, save for a sec- tion along the Thames and Med- way estuaries, are traditionally Conservative. In the 1955 elec. tion, Surrey and Sussex elected a solid block of Conservatives, Kent had 15 Conservatives and 4 So- cialists. Essex 16, Conservatives to 10 Socialists, and Middlesex 18, Conservatives to 11 So- cialists, In Surrey and Sussex, Conservative majorities of up to 20,000 are quite common. Into this area there has come an increasing challenge fron the Liberals, who, while they will pot win any seats there, might upset the balance of the two major parties. There are 13 Lib- eral candidates in Surrey, 10 in Zssex, 8 in Middlesex and six each in Kent and Sussex. NEW TOWNS The changing face of the coun- tryside is seen in the ereation of new towns to take care of overspill population from Lon don. These include the 50,000 population towns of Basildon and Harlow in Essex and Crawley in Sussex, Since most of their popu. lation came from the industrial areas of London, there is more than a possibility that they will give a lift to the Socialist pros- pects in these communities. One of the most interesting contests of the whole election will be in Faversham, Kent, which had the smallest majority in the country in the 1955 election, In that contest, Labor won the seat by a majority of 59. The sit ting member, V. A, Wells, is be- ing strongly challenged by the Conservative candidate, Mrs. E. M. Olsen, member of the Kent County Council and mother of four children. This might be termed a super - marginal con- stituency, as the local councils are very evenly balanced, But the Conservatives have a fighting chance of winning the seat. 4200 NEW PEOPLE Gravesend should produce an. other keen contest. Since 1955, when the Conservatives had a 2909 majority, 4200 people have moved into the area, 3000 of them into what were formerly rural areas. But in the 1955 election, Sir Richard Acland, standing as an independent candidate, se- cured 6514 votes. The Conserva- tives are banking on most of that vote coming to them, Two colorful women are op. posing each other in Chisle- hurst, One is the Conservative Miss Pat Hornsby Smith, joint parliamentary secretary for the Home Office. She is opposed by Miss Margaret Reid, a glamor- ous school teacher. In 1950, Miss Hornsby Smith turned a Socialist majority of 6269 into a Conserva- tive majority of 167. She ine creased it to 980 in 1951 and to 1870 in 1955, There is a Liberal candidate in the field, the same one as stood in the 1955 contest. HIGHLY MARGINAL Malden in Essex is eonsidered highly marginal, as the Conserv- atives won it by only 330 votes in 1955. A Liberal is running there, against the decision of his party executive. The last Liberal who ran secured fewer than 4000 votes, and lost his deposit. Offi ciall Liberal policy is to give sup- port to the government, which should help the Conservatives to retain the seat.

But throughout this whole area, there is intense political activity as the general elecion campaign gathers force. In this Wessex area, it seems like almost a hopeless cause for the Socialist party. Its record there is not a happy one. In the 1955 election, these five counties returned 20 Conservatives and three Socialists. In two of the Socialist seats, Reading and Eton and Slough, there were slender majorities. SOCIALIST DECLINE Over 'the last 14 years there has been a steady decline in So- cialist support. In 1945, 18 Con- servatives, nine Socialists and one Liberal were elected. In 1950, the count was 25 Conservatives and seven Socialists. This changed in 1951 to 28 Conserva- tives and four Socialists. One of the significant facts about the present election is that of the 32 Labor didates in iF ; fi voters since 1955 has erestefl @ situation. Freier which will have to go to one the two candidates now in the field. But changes in the stituency have added a predom- voters and taken away an equal ly strong Tory ward of 1400, that the result in this riding uncertain. OTHER AREAS Another danger spot Conservatives is in Buckingham, where Sir Frank Markham, in a straight two-party fight, had a majority of only 1140, The danger here lies in the intervention of a Liberal. The last time there was a Liberal candidate, he. polled 4196 votes and the Socialists won the seat. : Something like the same situa- tion prevails in Banbunv, won by the Conservatives in 1955 by 4128 votes, with only a Socialist op- nent, The member elected then 1, retired and a new candidate has been chosen, H. N. Martin, a company director. But this time there will be a Liberal in the field, and on the last occa- sion when a Liberal contested the seat, he polled 6700 votes. Labor is making a very deter- mined effort there. Throughout the rest of the 32 constituencies in this essex county, there is little likelihood of any Socialist successes. Their candidates are facing solid Con. servative masses of electors who have rolled up big major. ities for their party in the past. And if the Conservatives make the extra effort which is neces. sary, they might reduce by at least one the Socialist represen- tation, providing they can the marginal seats. HE 1955, only six have returned to do battle a second time, and three of these are defending their seats. In all the other con. stit i new didat: have appeared to wage what looks like a hopeless battle against the solidly entrenched Conservatives. MIKARDO IN PERIL The Socialist constituency of Reading, held by Ian Mikardo, one of the most radical of the left wing Socialists, is definitelv in peril. A swing of one per cent could bring it back into the Con- servative fold, In 1955, Mr. Mikardo won his slender major- ity of 238 solely by virtue of the postal vote which is a feature of British elections, This is a straight two-party fight, with the odds on a Conservative victory. The other marginal Socialist seat, that of Eton and Slough, is rere safe for the Labor candi- date, Fenner Brockway. He has great personal popularity im the constituency. IN SOUTHAMPTON In Southampton, with ite large railway shops and dockyards, there is more uncertainty, I have gathered that the possibility of future large layoffs in the rail- wav workshops will militate against the government and give Labor a fighting chance, In East- leigh, David Price, an economic consultant and a Conservative, won the seat by 545 votes. Here again, a swing of only one per cent could give the seat back to the Socialists.
