The Oshawa Somes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Tuesday, May 10, 1960 Hoping Against Hope For Rescue On Bomarc Government spokesmen keep insisting that no Canadian pressure has been or is being applied in Washington to rescue? the Bomarc program. But several U.S. congressmen seem to think otherwise. And there is a plaintive and pitiful note of hope in insistent reminders by the Canadian spokesmen that even if the U.S. Senate strangles the Bomarc pro- ject, the president and cabinet may breathe new life into it. Defence Minister Pearkes and - his eolleagues seem more and more like supplicants, praying desperately for a miracle. But such miracles do not happen -- particularly when the miltary men are already planning how they will spend the money that will not go to the Bomarc. It is the sort of miracle that did not happen when the Avro workers were hoping that the federal government really did not intend to drop the Arrow program. Mr. Pearkes has suggested that the dropping of the Bomarc by the U.S. would be a breach of faith. That is pretty far-fetched when one considers how many millions of dollars the U.S. has tossed away on the missile. Canada's expenditure was to be $15 million, only a fraction of which has been spent. It cannot be argued that the dropping of the Bomarc would leave Canada de- fenceless against bombers. Canada has had no defence against high-speed, high- level bombers, let alone ballistic mis- siles, and there is no immediate pros- pect of our acquiring such a defence even if the Bomarc program were con- tinued. Only one Bomarc B has man- aged to get off the launching pad properly, and it plunged into the ocean far short of its supposed effective range. Why, then, the curious affection for the Bomarc in Ottawa? Why are the defence minister and his colleagues battling so manfully for it, when just about everyone else agrees it's a flop? It may be that Mr. Pearkes feels honor bound to live up to the agreement with the United States until the U.S. govern- ment officially sings a requiem for the ill-fated missile; or it may be just plain stubbornness and inability to admit to a mistake. We prefer the former explana- tion. But in the meantime, work on the Bomarc bases continues -- work that costs money and may well prove a waste. Mr, Pearkes might echo C. D. Howe's line, "What's a million?" Well, we don't know much about millions. But we do know that a man who worked steadily for 45 years and earned an average of $100 a week over that period would in his lifetime on the job earn a total of slightly less than a quarter of a million. Many Americans In UK. London in recent years has become more and more a magnet for expatriates from America. The land which in its early years derived so much of its population from the British Isles is, it would seem, repaying the loan. The Sunday Times of London, noting this development, points out that there are now 30,000 American adults living in Britain where there were only 15,000 before World War II. Add 100,000 American servicemen whose presence may be less voluntary but a surprising number of whom learn to like the British way of life. Tourists are six or seven times as numerous as in prewar days, at about 400,000 a year. Of course many an American tourist returns from Britain or any other eountry with the feeling that the best part of the trip is "getting home again." But Americans who choose to stay on in Britain are numerous enough to prompt an inquiry into their reasons. Some of them like Britain because they feel it is a more adult country than their homeland, that is, it is governed more by grown-up than by teen-age tastes. Others approve of the manners of British children, and indeed of the manners of their own children after they are "exposed" tto British ways for a time. One notable American male inter- viewed on the subject said he liked Britain because it is a "man's country." He felt the United States was "woman ridden." Which is not quite what Henry van Dyke meant when he wrote, "Lon. don is a man's town, there's power in the air; and Paris is a woman's town with flowers in her hair," because after all, van Dyke added that it was "home again, home again, America for me." Americans don't think too highly of British musical comedy but they thrive on the opera, and the ballet. And American parents aren't entirely put out by the fact that in [school their children often have to work hard to match the standards set by British pupils. Two good points appear from the Sunday Times investigation. One is that the Americans interviewed like to be in Britain. The other is that the British seem to like to have them, and even have a pet name for them, the "British- Americans." Human Factors Stressed A new approach to industrial relations is being groomed at McGill University, and Prof. H. D. Woods, director of Mc- Gill's Industrial Relations Centre, out- lined some of the principles in the course of an address to the annual meeting of the anadian Association Textile Colorists and Chemists. of Prof. Woods is critical of the "sterile, legalistic" approach the problem which is marked by the increasing ten- dency to solve industrial relations prob- lems by resort to legislation and to the courts.

Montred!, P.Q Ajax other, indicates the weakness," he said. Undoubtedly, there is a tendency to ignore the human factors in industrial relations, the Quebec Chronicle-Tele- graph comments. Management is an aspect of humanity, and represents human shareholders. Trade unions also constitute human agencies, and represent human workmen. And when the two parties to a bargaining contract cannot agree, they have recourse to still other human agencies, conciliation or arbitra- tion boards, or sometimes the courts of justice. The problem is a human one at every turn, yet the tendency to to re- duce it to cut-and-dried formulae which leave out the human considerations entirely. It is equally true that the same ten- dency is to be observed in almost all human relations. Our social contacts also tend to take on a contractual nature, and give expression to the basic lack of faith that one human has in another. Only in relatively small circles is it true that complete trust exists. If the industrial relations problem can be solved, it probably would throw considerable light on the more wide spread manifestation of the same diffi- culty. In looking for the answer, Prof. Woods suggests that management and labor need to do some introspective thinking, "and perhaps the time has come for them to do it jointly." It is a worthy suggestion, in that it would bring management and labor together to work out their problems before they get to the point where only the legal ap- proach can end the dispute, an answer, incidentally, which is no true one, for it bears within itself the seed of further discord. SPRING! REPORT FROM U.K. Bronze Statuette 1700 Years In Soil By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON Digging into old Roman sites in the south of Eng- land is the current craze among archaeologists, and some amaz- ing discoveries are being made. One of the most important is the discovery of a bronze statuette, 10 inches high, and said by ex- perts to represent Venus. It is dated as of the second or third century, and was discovered by workers of the St. Albans Veru- lamium Museum, of which Dr. Ilid Anthony is the director. The statuette is at present in London being cleaned, but it will take its place in a niche in a Roman well at the museum after lying for 1700 years in a wooden box under the clay soil of Britain. The statuette of the goddess was recovered from a plank-lined square pit in what was apparent- ly the cellar of a third century tinker's workshop within the site of the old Roman town of Veru- lamium. The museum lies within the boundaries of the old town. And as befits a lady of such rare beauty and uncertain age, she is the centre of a fierce though well-mannered controversy. "It has been established that she is, in fact, Venus" said Dr. Anthony, "though she is wearing rather a lot more clothes than her custom. What concerns us now is how such a lovely and costly statuette should have been left in a tinker's cellar." Although most of the inhabi- tants of Roman Britain, including the slaves, had statuettes of var- ious gods, goddesses and ances- tors in their homes, only the very rich and powerful could afford one made of bronze, Dr. Anthony speculates that this particular statuette could have been left with the tinker for safe-keeping or for some sort of alteration. But it is definitely dated back to about the second or third century. Another party of archaeologists working on the North Downs in Kent has discovered what are be- lieved to be the sites of two old Roman villas. The two sites are 35 miles apart, one on Swarling Farm, near Canterbury. The other was unearthed in Eastwood Farm, near Farningham in Kent, Both of the sites have been dam- aged by many years of plowing, but they are believed to date from the first century, A.D. By grounds survey and the digging or trail holes, it has been possible to trace the walls of the villas and the enclosures around them. Several pieces of Roman pottery, brooches, objects in iron and bronze and bones have been found in the excavations. Work on both sites is being continued throughout this summer under the direction of B. J. Philip, an amateur archaeologist who is credited with having discovered them, QUEEN'S PARK Fluoridation Approach In Danger Channels By DON O'HEARN Toronto -- At first it seemed fine. But at a second look it ap- pears shocking--and frightening. The procedure adopted by the investigating committee into fluoridation indicated that rather than discussing the general ques- tion of fluoridating six points will be "debated." On each of these points experts will appear before the committee and detail their opinions. Then they will be examined by its members and any others on hand who want to question them. CONFINES DISCUSSION On the surface this appears to be a practical and reasonable ap- proach to an inquiry. It confines discussion and channels it along logical lines. But it also can be a dreadfully weighted approach. Almost inevitably it must lean towards the side of those who are favorable. For it gives those who are or- ganized and have money a dis- tinct advantage. And in the case of fluoridation this means those who want it. Powerful groups, such as the Health League of Canada, have been putting high pressure be- hind fluoridation. But there have been no such groups opposing it. INQUIRY BALANCED? Well-intentioned as the commit- tee undoubtedly is, this means there can't possibly be a bal- anced inquiry. The whole strength of the ap- proach adopted is in the cross- examination of the experts. For a thorough inquiry this must be both intensive and two- sided. It requires experts on both sides of the question to cross-ex- amine the experts. This, in turn, means that the experts concerned must be con- stantly on hand for the two weeks the committee intends to sit. Experts must eal like.the rest of us. They must be paid There is ample money avail- ablk to pay those on the pro side. But any on the anti side will be there on their own. The committee reportedly was asked to underwrite the cost of some recognized experts in the i field. But it refused to do is.

A new post as consul-general for Canada in New Orleans, U.S.A, has been created; to this J. G. Bisson has been appointed, although he has six years to run in his present appointment as chief commissioner of the Un- employment Insurance Commis. sion, Laval Fortier, who was ap- pointed by the St. Laurent gov- ernment to his post as deputy minister of citizenship and im- migration, has resigned, and he will succeed to the preferable post vacated by Bisson--reportedly de- spite strong opposition by Labor Minister Mike Starr, who sought the Conservative government ia © its politics or policies; five of the replace him by a new deputy of the cabinet's choice. All deputies in office when the Tories took over had been ap- pointed or confirmed by the out- going Liberal government. Many were friends, advisers and even policy-framers to their Liberal masters, and subject to the hu- man frailty of resenting the re- jection by the electorate of their favored policies, and of resenting their change by the ii ing six Ottawa district constituencies returned Liberal MPs, to make . this capital the last remaining # - bastion of Liberalism in Canada. : This makes it obvious that many civil servants would like to see their former masters return to power -- an ambition not weak ened by Conservative failures to dismiss or even transfer any who are reasonably believed to have given aid, comfort and even leaks to the Opposition. government. Two deputy minis- ters, according to widespread be- lief, would have been taken into the Liberal cabinet had it re- mained in power, just as Mike wastes. That's the time to Kidney Pills. Dodd's stimulate the ki Pearson and Jack Pickersgill had previously been recruited from the civil service directly into that Cabinet. Not all civil servants support a warm-hearted but able ad istrator to fill that sensitive post handling unemployment. One of the two deputy minis- ters in the department of health and welfare is being transferred to fill Fortier's previous post. In connection with these moves, it has been reported that Immigra- tion Minister Ellen Fairclough "cannot get on with" Fortier. LIBERAL PLANS MATURE What is especially arresting about these moves is that the Conservative government, after 34 months in office, has thus reached the decision to make the exact Fortier - for - Bisson swilch which was rumored to have been planned by the former Liberal government before its® defeat, Presumably Liberal Immigration Minister Jack Pickersgill "could not get on with' Fortier either. Another shake-up involves the promotion of the deputy minister of national defence, Air Vice- Marshal Frank Miller, to be chairman of the chiefs of staff committee. It is being loudly whispered here that C. M. Drury, who held that deputy-ministership briefly under appointment by for- mer Liberal d e f e n ¢ e minister Brooke Claxton, may be re- appointed to it. He has recently been employed in private busi- ness in Montreal, where his fam- ily are said to be strongly Lib- eral in politics. It might be an exaggeration to say that the Liberals paraphrase the poet Robert Browning to chant: "0 to be in Ottawa. now that the Tories are there." But they are certainly being given plenty of rope as regards ap- pointments and patronage, and there is little sign that they are hanging themselves. Some Liber- als have chuckled to me over the Fortier switch, as being a vivid example of time lost through the change of government. And they draw the conclusion that the Con servatives still do not realize that they are in power, possessed of the authority ' conferred by our laws and customs for the benefit of our elected governors. This authority includes the power to fire any deputy minister considered unco-operative, and to the low-cost way!

BUNDESEN, MD One of the most universal com- plaints of modern man -- and woman, too -- is the familiar "I just can't get to sleep". Insomnia is not a disease, al- though, of course, some cases might be related to a specific disease. THREE REASONS Far more often, though, the trouble can be traced to one or more of three things: food, too much or too little of it; worry, and inability to relax. Let me give you a few tips which may help you get to sleep more quickly. First, let's take the matter of food. Don't eat too much shortly be- fore going to bed and then ex- pect to get a good night's sleep. Even if you eat several hours before turning in for the night, if you have downed food that is not easily digestible your stomach might keep you awake. You don't have to go to bed hungry. That may also keep you awake. y LIGHT SNACK A light snack is permissible, so is a glass of warm milk. Inci- dentally, you might try avoiding coffee, tea and the cola drinks, which contain caffeine, after mid- afternoon Worrying about family and office problems will keep almost anybody awake. Therefore, don't discuss problems just before bed- time. Try to patch up any domes- tic quarrel before you go to bed. All the things above may in- terfere with sleep. But relaxing properly is the real key to a good night's slumber. WAYS TO RELAX To help you get into a sleepy mood, you might take a warm bath before retiring. Listening to relaxing music is good, too, and reading some soothing or familiar story might also help. Make yourself comfortable. If you want the window open, why, open it by all means. Don't, how- ever, feel that an open window promotes good health. This isn't necessarily true. RIGHT TEMPERATURE I suggest you keep the tem- perature of the bedroom just cool enough to require a light blanket. If you still can't get to sleep, try this one: Pretend. that you have just awakened and find that you still have a couple of hours to sleep before you have to arise for work. This may do the trick. QUESTION AND ANSWER 'E. B,: What causes perspira- tion to be a light brown color? Answer: This may be due to a pigment disorder of the skin. It may also be caused by a lowe grade infection of the skin by bacteria or germs that produce pigment or celoring. | etl lccounrt Personal Chequing YOU'RE when you Give your savings a chance to grow, by adopting the Royals new "2-Account" system of saving.
