Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. | The Oshawa Times Page 6 Tuesday, January 5, 1960 Stronger Action At Top To Halt Urban Sprawl North York will make an attempt this year to annex portions of Vaughan and Markham townships. If the effort suc- ceeds, Metropolitan Toronto will extend its huge sprawl and still more annexa- tions will follow. The asphalt jungle will creep outward, engulfing farmland, parkland and pleasant municipalities. That is the shape of things to come, unless the jungle can be contained. The fringle municipalities can do something about the containment, by working and planing together now. They | can keep the growth orderly, retain their identities and preserve the qualities that | 'now make living in them so much better | than the fume-filled frantic existence of '.the jungle-dwellers. That, for example, is what Mayor Lyman Gifford of Osh- awa has been preaching for the past several months. But the municipalities need help, and The Heart Is The mordl state of North America bids fair to become the subject of a great debate in 1960, We have already noted the sombre warnings to the United States made by such distinguished people as Senator Kennedy and Walter Lippman. A rather different view is taken by others. Best-selling author Allen Drury, for example, believes that the heart of the nation is sound --- it is the skin that is breaking out in sores. He puts it this way: "Somewhere under all this phoniness there still lives a great nation and a great people; and it is to them that I, and I think most of us, should like to be true in whatever we write. For I suspect that when the last television program is snapped off, the last urgent advertisement is laid aside and the last admonition from the hidden and not- so-hidden persuaders- dies out upon the quivering air, the great majority of us in this country are still creative, skeptical, they should be getting it from the On- tario minister of planning and develop- ment, Mr. Nickle. The minister, however, seems blandly unconcerned about the ugly urban spread that threatens the area from east of Oshawa to west of Hamilton. Indeed, one can wonder if Mr, Nickle is even interested in planning and development. He has good men in his department, but they must have leader- ship to do their work properly. There is also a need for top-level liaison and co-ordination between the departments of planning and development and muni- cipal affairs. Certainly the problem of an expand- ing Metro Toronto should be one of the major concerns of Mr. Nickle and his department. We hope that far-sighted municipal representatives will be able to shake the minister out of his apparent lethargy. This district is vitally con- cerned. Sound down-to-earth and, for the most part, level-headed; quite confused by what we face and sometimes quite scared by it, but on the whole valiant and sound, possessed of a goodly land and a heri- tage that warrants hope. "Beneath the mush and the organized hogwash, beneath the pretensions and the phony attitudes with which too many in influential position try to hide from the problems of our world, there is still a great vigor and a great vitality and a great decency and a great courage, both of purpose and, often, of achievement. "It is this essentially that I, and I think most of us in his reporting and would like to record, the quite writing business, in whatever have ability, when all else is said and done-- that there is a republic, not perfect, yet with great defences; not infallible, yet with great strength; not all-knowing, yet with a kind intention and a brave heart." ways we may Important Certificate Motorists are reminded of the ne- cessity of having a liability insurance certificate when obtaining 1960 lincence plates in order to avoid paying a fee of $5.00 to the Unsatisfied Judgment Fund. Hon. John Yaremko, Ontario minister of transport, has requested the the co-operation of insurance com- panies and their agents in having these certificates in the hand of policyholders if they have not already been sent. At the same time Mr. Yaremko ex- pressed satisfaction that 90 per cent of the motor vehicle owners in Ontario now carry liability insurance. This is an increase of 15 per cent in the num- ber of insured motorists in the two years that the $5.00 fee has been collected from the uninsured.

The $5.00 additional fee does not give those who are required to pay any protection. It is credited to a special government fund used to pay judg- ments against uninsured motorists. The uninsured motorist must repay the fund the amount paid out for him and is prohibited from owning or operating a motor vehicle until he can do so." The moral is obvious. It is much better for the motorist to carry insurance to take care of any possible liability. And MRA ment, which "unites several politicians and industrial magnates, retired Gen- erals and various businessmen", is now "especially active in Scandinavia", where its agents are "circulating a pamphlet, 'Ideology and Co-Existence', written in typical cold-war language." This nenewed assault on MRA by Moscow follows the distribution of "Ideology and Co-Existence" to 12,300, 000 homes in Europe in recent weeks. The manifesto has cut sharply across the Communist strategy which has aimed to sell "peaceful to the world, the Owen Sound Sun and Times comments.

This was the largest simultaneous distribution of written ma- terial ever accomplished in these Nordic lands. A letter from leading Nordic person- alities told why manjfesto is being sent and concluded, "'Ideology and Co-Exis- tence' shows everyone how to take part in putting right what is wrong in the world and how to give the nation an incorruptible leadership that will secure freedom and peace for all nations." experienced STEREOPHONIC SOUND Nigeria, Cyprus Independent 1960 By SEAGHAN MAYNES LONDON (Reuters) --- Britain's rule over almost half of the 75,- 000,000 people in its empire will end this year with the granting of independence to Nigeria and Cyp- rus. The new year holds out the promise of great constitutional de- cisions and changes in Africa, where Britain's colonies, trust ter- ritories and protectorates cover about 1,500,000 square miles about four-fifths of the total area of all Britain's overseas territor- ies The 373,250 - square - mile West African federation of Nigeria and its 35,000,000 people already have internal self-government. Britain has agreed to hand over all re- maining powers in October. PEACEFUL TRANSITION The transition to independence has been accomplished peacefully and with goodwill in Nigeria, where British rule began about 100 years ago. The process has been more troublesome in the Mediterranean island colony of Cyprus, whose 500,000 people have known terror and bloodshed in the last five vears. Cyprus becomes an inde- pendent republic in February. But world attention in 1960 will be focussed on Africa, where na- tionalism is on the march and "in- dependence" is the slogan of mil- lions While extremist African politi- cians want Europeans to get out of parts of Africa, more moderate Africans favor some form of ra- cial co-operation under African leadership. PATTERN SET The pattern for co-operation has been set in Tanganyika, where Julius Nyerere has British ap- proval for an African majority Parliament for the 9,000,000 peo- ple of the East African territory later this year. Tanganyika has set the pace for other African territories 'in solv- ing racial differences among Afri- cans, Europeans, Asians and Arabs and ensuring peaceful pro- gress toward iiome-rule. Neighboring Uganda, another British protectorate, also is head- ing toward self-government. An official commission has recom- mended ihat its 5,700,000 people should have their own African- majority Parliament early in 1961 A round . table conference is planned for Jan. 18 on the future of the East African colony of Kenya. African nationalist leader Tom Mboya then will press for responsible self-government this year TICKLISH SITUATION One of 1960's most controversial conferences is likely to be that on the consiitutional future of the Central African federation of Southern and Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland. In Nyasaland, hit by riots and bloodshed last year, African lead. ers demand the right to leave the six « year - old federation, fearing that when it eventually gets Do- minion status they will be kept under the sway of the white-dom- inated government in Southern Rhodesia The Central African situation has produced harsh political clashes between the Conservative government and the opposition Labor party. The Labor party refused to nominate three members for a special commission which goes to the federation in February to prepare the way for the constitu- tional talks in October. The visit to Africa next week of Prime Minister Macmillan serves to unde 2 the importance which the government attaches to that continent and the impact of events there on world affairs. This will be the first time in the history of the empire that a Brit- ish prime minister has visited Africa while in office.

Australia Looking For Grain Markets In Asia By RUSSELL ELMAN SINGAPORE (CP) -- Australia is conducting an intensive trade campaign to recapture tradi tional grain markets in Asia Wheat industry officials, con- cerned over a serious fall in Aus- tralian wheat exports, hope much lost ground will be recovered this year, . They base their optimism on new sales agreements with Cey- lon, Malaya and Indonesia. And in the briskest selling spree in two years Australia recently sold 9,000,000 bushels of wheat over- seas, including 4,000,000 to India and Japan. Australia, which annually grows about 120,000,000 bushels of wheat for export, formerly 'had large markets around the Indian Ocean. Sales to India alone used to average 36,000,000 bushels a year but last year slipped to only 2,000 bushels. MONEY TROUBLES Australian government trade officials in Singapore say the de- cline in wheat sales is due prin- ipally to economic difficulties y Asigh countries. To save foreign exchange these countries now prefer outright wheat gifts, long-term loans and barter deals, or to stick to their customary staple diet of rice Both the federal govern ment and Australian Wheatgrow- ers' Federation have expressed repeated concern over large-scale non-commercial disposals of sur- plus American wheat, The U.S agriculture department recently announced a curtailment. of the djsposal program to preserve normal patterns of commercial ade unde the International Wheat Agreement, In Adelaide, an Austral ian Wheatgrowers' Federa- tion spokesman said Australia's exports had not been upset by Canada's Colombo plan wheat gifts or loans. Canadian policy has been to try to avoid giving away wheat at the expense of Australia. REGAINS MARKET "We don't view Canada's Co- lombo plan gifts in the same light as give-away or barter deals," he Disarmament Needs Planning WASHINGTON (AP) -- Plan- ning must be started now at all levels of government to prevent unnecessary economic hardship and industrial dislocation if dis- armaments achieved, the Na- tional Planning Association of the U.S. said Sunday. A study made public by the as- sociation said the economic ad- justment that a major cut ir arms production would bring would not be easy. But there is no valid argument that economic depression would follow a reduc- tion in arms. The association said more gov- ernment money would be made available to deal with a backlo; of urgent programs in which only slow progress is being made be- cause of budgetary limitations. The association listed education, highways, urban renewal, low- cost housing, water supply and conservation, health, hospitals and air pollution. The association describes itself as a non-profit, non-political or- ganization. said. "We consider loans more as commercial deals." Under a new trade treaty, Cey- lon bought 30,000 ton$ of Austral. ian flour and agreed to buy 100,- 000 tons of flour a year. In the previous 16-month period, Aus- tralia sold no flour at all in this once important market. Negotiations have also resulted in an assurance of sales of 80,000 tons of Australian flour a year to Malaya. Substantial trade in flour is also expected with Indonesia but Australian officials say they have to compete in this market with both American gift flour and subsidized flour from European countries. A trade agreement with West Germany was concluded to pro- tect Australian markets from competition by German flour. Discussions also are taking place with the French government. Unlike Canadian farmers, Aus- tralian wheatgrowers have no serious carryover problem. Pres- ent surplus is estimated at about 50,000,000 bushels but this figure could rise, officials say, if Aus- tralian exports fall, RUSSIANS WELCOMED NEW YORK (AP)--The Mos- cow State Symphony made its tirst North American appearance Sunday night in Carnegie Hall, and the audience, which bought up the last seats weeks ago, gave the Russian visitors a heart. warming welcome. The orchestra will visit 20 cities, including Mont- treal and Toronto. The program was all Tchaikowsky--the Fifth Symphony, the Piano Concerto No. 1 in B Flat Minor and the Capriccio Italien.

REPORT FROM U.K. Resorts Awaiting New Gambling Law By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The municipal au- thorities of the major seaside resorts on England's southern seacoast are waiting eagerly for the new betting and gambling bill to go through the House of Commons. They see a possibility that in its provisions they will find new avenues to the attrac- tion of more visitors than ever, not only in summer, but all the year round. They can envisage, if the new laws will permit it, the creation of facilities which will place them on a par with the most posh resorts of the con- tinental seaside and those of the Riviera. What the corporations of places like Brighton and Eastbourne have in mind is that the new bet- ting and gambling laws will per- mit the establishment of glitter- ing casino buildings in which the devotees of games of chance like baccarat, rouge - et - noir, boule and roulette will be able to in- dulge their fancies to their hearts' content, with the 'house', oper- ated of course by the corpora- tion, taking its profits from the operation of these places, NOT IDLE TALK This is not mere idle talk. It is being discussed 'with great seri- ousness by the municipal bodies of these two seashore cities, and some others along the south coast. Brighton council, which reaps a rich revenue from its seaside attractions, all operated bv the corporation, is planning a great redevelopment of the waterfront. These places are am- bitious, with costs running up to the million pound mark, Under consideration are plans for a new 3000 - seater hall in which trades unionists and politi. cians can hold their annual con- ferences by the seaside; a super- market; a park for 2000 cars; a gigantic motel; dance floors, a new 250-room hotel--and a casino building. About the only things which will remain unchanged on Brighton's spacious sandy beach are the two piers which jut out Into the English channel. EASTBOURNE TOO The chief rival seacoast resort, Eastborune, does not propose to lag behind Brighton. It, also, is planning a number of new fea- tures on its long waterfront, and here also, included in the plans, is a proposal for a casino. That is regarded by the councillors of Eastbourne as the kingpin of all enterprises for drawing the pounds, shillings and pence out of the pockets of the tens of thou- sands of holiday - makers who visit the town during the summer season, and also during the Christmas and New Year holiday period. Whether these casino buildings materialize, to give these re- sorts a new continental look, de- pends on the final form of the new betting act which is before the Commons. It has been inti mated that many amendments will be put forward in the com- mitiee stage on the bill, Some of these would make it perfectly legal to operate a casino. And if that goes through, there will be a race to see which of the seaside towns will have its casino open first. FOR BETTER HEALTH Influenza Sometimes Leads To Pneumonia By Herman N. Bundesen, M.D. Let's not fool with the flu. Influenza is not just a bad cold, as many persons still be- lieve. It js not a complication of the common cold, either. DISTINCT DISEASE The flu is a distinet iufee- tious disease all by itself. You can't cure it with penicillin or any other type of antibiotic. Fortunately, though, there are vaccines available which can be used in any outbreak of the disease, such as the Asian flu epidemic which occurred a cou- ple of years ago. ' These vaccines, which are made from cultures of the dif- ferent types of flu virus, ordi- narily are used only in camps and other places where large groups of persons congregate. IMMUNIZATIONS URGED However, this year the Public Health Service urges that influ- enza immunizations be given to persons with cardiovascular or pulmonary conditions, those over 55 with chronic illness of any type, pregnant women and per- sons providing essential public services, such as policemen and the like. Industries desiring to keep absenteeism at a minimum might also think about immunizing em- ployees. LOCALIZED OUTBREAKS We don't expect any wide- spread attacks of flu this year, but there are bound to be local ized outbreaks. The Asian strain, or Type A-2, probably will be most prevalent once again, since the B major form caused the most influenza trou- ble last year. Ordinarily influenza is not a dangerous illness, It is a self- limiting disease with a fever lasting only for about three days at the most. In its complicated form, how ever, it can keep a person bed- ridden for long periods and can even cause death. PNEUMONIA One complication "is that it may turn into pneumonia. Pneu monia killed more persons than the flu did in the big influenz: pandemic of 1918-19. While our antibiotics and sulfa drugs won't kill the flu virus they will combat pneumonia, So 'pneumonia can be headed off if treatment is be- gun in time, Even the first sting of influ enza is a sharp one. There will be a severe headache, the face will be flushed and the bones will ache. COLD-LIKE SYMPTOMS The cold - like symptoms of sore throat and runny nose may not be present at the initial out- break, but they will come along later. The thing that makes flu so potentially dangerous -- even though vaccines can be used -- is that it flares up in local epidemics every two or three years. QUESTION AND ANSWER 'A reader: Can a person start taking gelatric - type vitamins too early% Is it possible to develop an allergy from taking vitamins over a long period of timed Answer: No, because vita- mins not required by the body are usually execreted.

K. appears to be the first post- revolutionarv leader in Russia who has observed that his fellow citizens are human beings, seek- ing peace and prosperity. He wants to set himself up as a Father-Image to his people, which could not be achieved by con- demning 100,000,000 to burn in a nuclear holocaust, while the re- mainder perish in lingering agony. Perhaps this logical antipathy to victory in a nuclear war is the factor which makes sense of the great optimism being expressed by Hon. Howard Green, our for- eign minister, who foresees that the disarmament talks in 1960 have a good chance of achieving the success which eluded similar talks over the past 14 years, Right or wrong, disarmament is Canada's major objective in for- eign affairs today. We have no magic new formula; we have no new diplomatic staff; but we do have as front man a poacher turned game warden, General Burns, What is new, perhaps, is Rus. sia's realism, and the west's slow appreciation of this change. We must hope so. Else there will be no Peace on Earth in 1960.
