Fhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 6 Wednesdoy, May 4, 1960 Students Again Leading Struggle For Freedom Just as the riots in South Korea died down with the overthrow of the "strong man' Syngman Rhee, student riots flared in Turkey. The cause was the same: abuse of power by the chief of state. The similarity between the Korean and Turkish situations is close. In both cases, the hard-core rioters have been university students angered beyond thought of personal safety by the incre- usingly severe restrictions on political freedom. In both cases, the countries have been recipients of large amounts of economic aid, particularly from the United States; and in both cases the would-be dictators have tried to establish public images of themselves as the in- dispensable opponents of Communism. Even the lists of complaints are similar. There is strict censorship in 'Turkey and newspapermen who violate it are jailed. First the police and then the army were used to curb political opposition. Elections have been rigged. Menderes, as Rhee did, tolerates no criticism of his administration. A general election was held in 1957 and the Menderes government anno- unced that it had won. This was easy to do -- it controlled the election ap- paratus, having been in power since 1950. Recently the opposition Repub- lican party asked Menderes to make public the 1957 election figures. Men- deres' response was to outlaw all political activity for three months: to set up a commission to investigate what it called the "destructive and illegal activities" of the Republican party, which is led by former Premier Inonu; to ban all press reports of the commission's ac- tivities and to empower the commission to seize, jail, fine or question anyone it chooses. In brief, the newly-appointed com- mission has been given such broad pow- ers that Turkey has openly become a police state, without any pretence of democratic freedom. It was the appointment of the com- mission that infuriated the students. One U.S. correspondent called the outbreak a "triumph of teen-age idealism." Whe- ther Menderes can maintain his posis tion by force depends largely on whether others follow the lead of the students, as they did in Korea. No Clutter On Highways We disagree with the suggestion of the Sarnia Observer that there should be restaurants, service stations and rest points sprinkled along super- highways. The argument for such establishments goes like this: "The driver can lean back and let the engine purr the miles away ... But the youngsters in the back seat are becoming restless. They start to squabble. They are getting hungry. Their mother's concern for their com- fort is expressed more frequently and the driver suddenly realizes that these new-fangled roads with their long stret- ches of flat scenery have not been 'mar- red' by a service station or a drive-in res- taurant. The driver wonders what would happen if the purring engine suddenly cided to stop running. If one of the ungsters took violently ill, where would you find a handy telephone? The driver then starts to worry and a worried driver is not a good one in the busy traffic which super-highways generate." The one sensible suggestion is that roadside phones be placed at intervals along the super-highways. There are three fairly lengthy four- lane limited-access highways in Ontario. They are the Queen Elizabeth Way, Highway 400 and Highways 401, At no point on these roads is a driver more than a few minutes away from a service station or a restaurant. Such establishments may be apparent, but they can be easily reached by means of roads leading from the main highway, since there is a fairly liberal interpreta- tion in this province of the phrase "limit- ed access". The tired driver, or the motorist seeking relief from monotony, can pull up on the wide shoulder for a brief rest or turn on to a different road. The super-highway is designed for fast, easy travel. That is what it provides, except where it turned into a local access road -- which is what has happened to the so-called 401 "bypass' across Metro- politan Toronto. Accident rates on these highways are lower than on the two-lane "open" roads. The best way to destroy the purpose for which they were built, and the purpose they serve, would be to dot them with establish. ments that would result in cars pulling off and on to the road, most frequently during periods of heavy traffic. The danger of increase sharply, the flow of traffic would be seriously affected, and the ease of driving would be substantially reduced. not accident would More Lake Pollution Communities along Lakes Ontario and Erie are not only ones to suffer from pollution. Even in mighty Lake Superior the refuse and waste from ships is be- ing washed ashore to make filthy mes- ses of beaches. An American can make some money by catching a Great Lakes vessel in the act illegally into navigable waters of the United States, and making the prosecution stand up in federal court, the Milwaukee Journal points out. The fine is $500 to $2500, and the law lets the judge award half of it to the informer in deserving cases. But there is a practical drawback to the effectiveness of such a law: how to enforce it against vessels under way off shore. The Journal comments: "The only certain method would be to station federal agents with police powers on all ships, or have enough police boats'to follow each one around, which nobody would suggest.

Average Daily Net Paid as of March 31, 1960 16,857 property owners along the Wisconsin shore of Lake Superior have been send- ing complaints to Washington for some years about debris obviously thrown overboard and washed ashore, menacing the health and safety of beach users. The best answer they cauld get was a promise to do more 'educating' of vessel owners, reminding them of the law. "Milwaukee had a serious situation of this kind last year. While there were several sources of the pollution and mess tha. closed the beaches, sorhe of them our own fault, garbage from passing ships was probably a factor. It was aggravated by the great influx of ocean ships, in whose crews the open seas tend to breed careless habits. And this new season may be much the same. "It would seem needful for both our own harbor authorities and the appro- priate federal agents to put forth a diligent, sustained, season-long effort to induce ship owners and captains to in- doctrinate their crews and assure law compliance themselves." The same sort of effort is required by federal and provincial authorities here, The Ontario government has shown that it is aware of the problem, Strong efforts should be made to secure joint action by Canadians and Americans, Co- operation in any effort to keep the Great Lakes clean necessity. reasonably is a One answer could be establishment of a permanent U,S.-Canadian body for the specific purpose of maintaining watch on lake pollution, either empowered to do something about it, or designed to make recommendations to the agencies that can do something about it.

TO CORK A VOLCANO OTTAWA REPORT Divorce Filibuster ment into a divorce court. It is a cumbersome and unwieldy method, undoubtedly far less , sound and sure than a divorce court; but it is used to assist ' residents of two provinces, Que- : bec and Newfoundland, which do Impractical Procedure By PATRICK NICHOLSON An investment of nearly $750, 000 by private citizens of the province of Quebec threatens to prolong this session of Parlia ment by many days. In fact, it has already added considerably to the length and tedium of dis- cussions in our House of Com- mons, ' This sum has been spent or hypothecated by 609 wronged spouses, who are seekin™ relief from their plight through Parlia- mentary legislation to dissolve their marriages. In debates spread over 11 days before the Easter recess and in two days since, only 26 divorce cases were passed by the Com- mons. But 609 have been filed be- fore Parliament; nearly all of these will probably come for ward, but so far only 360 have completed the investigation be fore the Senate divorce commit. tee and the normal legislative passage through the Senate, CCF PUNISH SELVES At this rate of progress, Parlia: ment could be kept in session for no less than five whole extra months by the divorce filibuster being staged by the CCF. If this average is maintained, with only with one each day of debate, and with so many additional cases still to be heard, it is obvious that Parliament could be kept sitiing here well past the aniici- pated July 14 deadline, and easily until Dec.' 14 I suggest this because Parlia- ment obviously would not consent to adjourn with this huge back- log of divorce cases unfinished. The individuals concerned have paid their fees to Parliament, and the payments made in good faith are such as to carry an en- titlement to attention by Parlia- ment. Thus the CCF filibuster will have the effect of punishing the perpetrators as well as every other MP. H wever, as Parliament's rota of work nears completion, it is likely that the CCF will decide that it has made its point, and will then relax its tactics of de- lay and permit all outstanding di- vorce cases to go through with the customary expediency. » BATTLE orically the CCF has long shouldered the chore of bringing public and governmental opinion round to recognition of the ime two divorce cases being done propriety of making our Parlia- PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Some are beginning to fear that the two certainties--death and taxes--may merge; that is that taxes may be the death of us yet.

BUNDESEN, M.D, YOU CAN'T lose weight sim- ply by cutting down on your salt consumption, During the last have written about diets. FOR SPECIAL AILMENTS Such diets are often beneficial for persons suffering from kidney or heart disease. They are bene- ficial, that is, if they are pre- scribed by a doctor and are con- ducted under his watchful eye No radical diet should he un. dertaken by anyone without the advice of his personal physician. DISAPPOINTING AND DANGEROUS Apparently there are some persons who believe that they can lose weight by embarking upon a low-sodium diet, Not only is this a dangerous practice, but it is a disappointing one as well, Restricting sodium, you see, generally results in the loss of water, but not body tissue. And the lost water may be quickly renlaced through increased thirst SOMETIMES ADVISABLE In the case of congestive heart failure, loss of water is advisable in most Instances. Water accu- mulates in the tissues, causing what Is popularly referred to as "dropay"' This excess water causes a tremendous strain on the already few years I several articles salt-free or low-sodium weakened heart. Thus, we try to release as much of the water as noscible by cutting the sodium intake, since sodium tends to hold water in the body. Those of you who are not suf- fering from a heart or kidney disease, and who are not under a doctor's care, should not un- dertake anv self-diagnosed and self-administered low sodium diets All of us need both sodium and chlorine. These elements are essential for normal health. Everv cell in our bodies needs sodium CHV.ORINE ESSENTIAL Chlorine also is essential. An adequate supply, for examnle, ellows our bodies to produce hydrochloric acid. This is a comronent of the gastric juice which aids digestion. Most of you, I'm sure, get ade- quate amounts of both sodium and chlorine from your meals and from the use of table salt which is, in effect, sodium chloride, Better check and make sure QUESTION AND ANSWER I.

I have never heard a single Parliamentarian oppose the CCF attitude, though most disagree with their present tac- tics, and all agree that Parlia- ment should continue to serve this distasteful function until some better alternative is pro- vided. Meanwhile Arnold Peters, MP from Kirkland Lake, and Frank Howard, MP from Skeena, con- tinue their filibuster by prolonged debate of every aspect of each di- vorce case presented before the Commons. In the wings stand those 609 applicants. Each of whom has paid the parliamen- tary fee of $210, has advertised the impending divorce action for a month in an English and French language newspaper and the Canada Gazette, has hired detectives to collect evidence of the marriage partner's adultery and has engaged lawyers. It has been suggested that these costs total around $2,500. This is not a fair average: - there have been cases which are known to have CC very much more, but apart from these special circumstances a recent survey of 15 divorce pleas being heard by Parliament showed that the average was nearer $1,150. BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO The Oshawa Golden Jubilee Flute Band, all the members of which were young women, was organized under the direction of J McMullen Miss Lillian Steele of Oshawa graduated from the Toronto Bible College. E. R. Birchard was elected president of the Oshawa Scot- tish Rite Club. Grocers and butchers who wished to participate in the relief voucher system had to apply to council for permission. Women's Welfare League ap- pointed Mrs. G. A. Williams to be one of its representatives on the newly-formed Welfare Board. The number of families on re- lief dropped from 619 to 596. L. Richer, director of music in the Oshawa Schools, had the honor of being chosen to direct an orchestra of 100 instrumental ists from the secondary schools of the province, at a recital held in Eaton Auditorium. The Property Owners' Associa- tion announced that eviction no- tices had been served on 60 fam- flies on relief. The plant employees of the Bell Telephone Co. tendered a fare- well dinner to E. D. Smith, plant wire chief, who had been pro- moted to Peterborough. Oshawa schools listened in on the first of a series of eight radio 1 under the pices of the Dept. of Education. It was an experiment to determine the effi- ciency of the radio in elementary school work. The choir of St. Andrew's Pres- byterian Church, Whitby, which ir. 1934 won the Dr. David Smith™ Challenge Shield at the Stratford Musical Festival, planned to com- pete for the honor and the trophy. Second Lieutenant H R Bright and H. R. Schell of the Ontario Regiment, were promot ed to the rank of full lieutenant.
