ome ERR » dhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 6 Monday, May 30, 1960 World Agreement Needed On Limits Of Air Space The Soviet demand that the UN order the United States not to violate Soviet air space raises the question of what that phrase "air space" means. Diplomatic and legal authorities are pondering the matter: What is nation- al air space ? What are its boundar- jes ? Does it extend to a fixed alti- tude, to the edges of the atmosphere, to the last tug exerted by the earth's gravitational pull, or to the infinity of outer space ? There is no answer. The traditional Jimit of a nation's territorial waters was three miles, set when shore bat- teries could dominate the sea ap- proaches for that distance. That limit is now obsolete, but the maritime nations have been unable to agree on the setting of new limits. They will have at least as much difficulty in deciding about air space. The Soviet Lnion, especially, has shown no in- terest in the limited efforts made thus far to study the situation. = C. L. Sulzberger, New York Times foreign correspondent, says that by s attitude toward U-2 reconnais- sance flights Moscow showed its acceptance of a custom established when military aircraft were first widely emploved in World War I-- the custom that a nation's territorial limits extend only as high as the nation can control such limits. Premier Khrushchev concedes that U-2 flights went on for at least four vears. But during this time the Soviet premier did not protest--not even, he says, during the cordial get-together at Camp David. Not until the Soviets demonstrated that thev exerted some control over U-2 flights did Khrushchev open up the subject. He claimed that a Soviet rocket bagged Francis Powers' plane at an altitude of 65,000 feet. But the U-2 can operate at an altitude of up 100,000 feet. Moscow's protests over invasion of air space ring hollow because the Russians have chosen to play no part in seeking world agreement. They boycotted the 18 nation committee created by the UN general assembly in 1958 to study the problems of space exploration, just as they and the rest of the Communist bloe boy- cotted the space research committee set up, as part of the international geophysical year (IGY). There is need for world agreement on air and space boundaries. Without such accord the possibility of conflict between nations will increase as the exploration of space proceeds. to Obedience To Laws Most residents of Ontario were in a position to enjoy the Victoria Day holiday, except the Provincial Police, who spent many hours in trying to prevent accidents on the heavily tra- velled highways. The final death toll, however showed that 17 were killed in traffic accidents in Ontario, bringing the total to 33 in Canada, 13 more than was predicted for the three-day holiday by the Canadian. Highway Safety Council. Many of the accidents were from sheer earelessness and the death toll will continue unless these careless drivers are put off the highways. It is a known fact that some drivers who spot a police car or a lone policeman watching a radar will signal other drivers .with the flashing of lights that danger lies ahead. Helpfulness towards other road users is a very desirable attitude in drivers, the Ontario Safety League stresses. But is there anything com- mendable in shielding other drivers from deserved penalties for breaking the law ? Is it good fellowship te band together to outsmart the police, in their work of trying to reduce the kind of driving that adds unnecessary danger to our streets and highways ? Is it a matter for praise, or self- satisfaction, to encourage disrespect for the law, and the men who admin- ister it ? . . . to help other drivers evade the correction they merit and knowingly risk to protect the operat- ing permit of drivers who eonsistently abuse the privilege -- one of whom, next week, may use his car to mutilate or kill. We make traffic laws for our own protection. We appoint police officers to enforce these laws, to make the protection effective -- and in Ontario 8,700 police officers do a fine job of enforcement the benefit of the great majority. Our roads would be safer and pleas- anter places to travel if more people believed in co-operating with author- ity, instead of dodging it. The mature we are fortunate to have police officers, cruisers and radar sets ahead. to driver realizes that Burden Of Assistance people are not as think cording to Dr. G.

An editorial in the Fort Wil- liam Times-Journal sums it up this way: "What needs to be remembered is that the cost of such payments, of necessity, comes out of the pockets of those who are working. In the welfare there is nothing for the middle-aged -- nothing, that is, except The middle-aged are taxed, inevitably, to assist the young and the old. But the burden of taxes is such that the middle-aged can put little aside themselves to provide for their old age. Rather, most in their middle years can look forward to joining the ranks of the publicly-supported as they reach retirement." The federal and provincial gov- ernments share the cost of allow- ances, maximum of $55 a month, to the blind, the disabled, and persons in the 65-69 years age group who produce proof of need. At Dec. 31, 1959, allowances were being paid to 8,688 blind 49,446 disabled persons, and 98,495 persons in the 65-69 years age group. year federal contributions these schemes cost $50.8 million; presum- the provincial contributions were equal, or about $100 million in state taxes, own workers only persons, Last to ably all. Compared to other welfare spend- ing that does not seem very generous help to the needy. But when so much is given to so many others could the taxpayers do without governments reducing some other expenditures? much better, TIPTOE THROUGH THE TULIPS GALLUP POLL Nr NS ¥ Little Interest Revealed In Popular Increase By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION so-called "population ex- plosion' not being heard very loudly in Canada By '"'population explosion' ob servers refer to the fact that the net world population is increas ing about 100,000 per day, add ! births and deducting The d .

FOR BETTER HEALTH Blepharitis Now Linked To Dandruff Condition MD wash HERMAN N. BUNDES How often should you your hair? Now this appears to be a simple enough question, but health au- thorities have widely different opinions on the matter. JUST HOW OFTEN? Just recently I saw a report from one health group which reconunended that proper care of the hair involves washing it often enough to keep it clean, That's logical, all right, but just how often is enough? This particular report recom. mends washing once in two weeks for short hair and once in three weeks for long hair ANOTHER REPORT A previous report by another group stated, "The proper and medically approved time to give yourself a shampoo is when your hair gets dirty." This report added "If your particular type of hair looks its best with a once-a-week shampoo, then well and good. If it needs washing more often, don't hesitate to wash it every few days." TWICE A WEEK Many women, | am sure, wash their lair about twice each week Personally, I think once a week is usually often enough It is primarily a matter of ap pearance and scalp condition. Baldness, though, can't be pre- vented by washing your hair every day or by not washing i for years KEEP THEM CLEAN Like any other portion of your body, your hair and scalp should be kept clean Dandru#f is a common problem among persons who fail to wash and rinse their hair thoroughly and frequently. And dandruff can be more than a nuisance. It might even cause eye trouble! In a recent article in the Penn- sylvania Medical Journal, Dr. James S. Jordan of Scranton re- ported that studies by ophthal- mologists (eye specialists) indi- cate that the same bacteria cells which cause dandruff also can cause blepharifis. This is a condition in which whitish scales, similar to dan- druff, collect around the roots of the eyelashes FROM SCALP TO EYES The bactera apparently spread from the scalp to the eyes. Hospital studies of patients with such eye (rouble revealed that they had shampooed their hair only once a month at the most Dr. Jordan suggests that per- sons bothered by sore eyelids, as well as by dandruff, should shampoo their scalps twice a week for at least a month to cor- rect the conditions I'l have more to say about shampooing and rinsing in a sub- sequent column QUESTION AND ANSWER E. J. P.: For the past few ye. I have been troubled by pigment spots and patches on my face. This condition started about the time I discovered 1 had am enlarged heart. Would this have any connection and, if not, what could cause this condition and can it be corrected?

QUEEN'S PARK Tribute OTTAWA REPORT yy Honor Conferred On Mrs. Diefenbaker By PATRICK NICHOLSON In the .blossom-gay setting of Nova Scotia's beautiful Annapo- lis Valley, the name Evangeline ie recalled with honor and af- fection. So it was with some- thing of honor and of affection that the valley's Acadia Univer- sity last week awarded an honor- ary Doctorate of Civil Laws to Olive Evangeline Diefenbaker. Mrs. Diefenbaker was clearly deeply appreciative of the honor conferred upon her. She enjoyed revisiting *'the beautiful old cam- pus," and savouring "the very unworldly academie atmosphere' where her own family roots run so deep, and where four years ago her distinguished husband had received his second honorary degree (he added 20 more in the next three years). STRICTLY PERSONAL Behind her modesty, Mrs. Dief- enbaker may well have felt a pride that that signal honor was conferred, not upon the wife of Canada's prime minister, but upon the grand - daughter of Acadia's famed alumnus, David Freeman, and upon the disting- uished educator, Olive Evange- line Palmer, Mrs. Diefenbaker"s family tree has flowered with many teachers aid churchmen since it was rooted in North America 340 years ago. On Nov, 11 1620, her forbears REPORT FROM UK. William Bradford and William Brewster were among the 41 Pil- grim Fathers who signed The Mayflower Compact. That tiny 180-ton sailing ship had just made landfall at what is now" called Cape Cod, after a 66-day voyage from Plymouth, England. Wil- liam Bradford led the small ex- loring party which selected the site for the pilgrims' first settle- ment in the New World, and named it' Plymouth. A century and a half later, Mrs. Diefenbaker"s ancestry quit the revolting American colonies, and settled in Nova Scotia. David Freeman, her grand- father, was a member of the first graduating class at Acadia, and one of the seven founders of the Acadia Alumni Association, which is now celebrating its 100th anniversary, Her father, Charles Freeman, also graduated from Acadia, and additionally was awarded an hon- onary degree on the 50th anni- versary of his graduation. Charles Bradford Freeman whose middle name reflected his Pilgrim ancestry, was raised in Canning, Nova Scotia, where he married a daughter of a neigh- boring family, a cousin of the wealthy, philanthropic but con. troversial industrialist, Cyrus Eaton. He was influenced by family tradition and by the Bap- tist atmosphere of Acadia to be- Hitler Paintings Spark Sale Scene By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (England) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON--The dignified calm of Sotheby's auction rooms on New Bond Street in London was rudely disturbed at an art sale of several lots of paintings. What brought loud cries of protest was because the list of paintings to be sold included two watercolors attributed to the late Adolf Hit- ler of notorious memory. These two paintings were Lots 174 and 174A on the catalogue. Immediately the auctioneer, Pe- ter Wilson, announced Lot. No. 174, Jacques (Hana, one of Sotheby's most respected clients, jumped up to shout: "Many of us here resent the inclusion of these pictures in this sale." There were cries of "Hear, fear," and 60-year-old Mr. O'- Hana roared "I'll give yeu £50 for the two and tear them up." PROCEEDS FOR FUND On the rostrum the auctioneer lcoked shocked Nothing like this had ever disturbed the quiet dig- nity of Sotheby's before. He ex- piained that half the proceeds in- cluding the firm's own 15 per cent commission, would go to fise World Refugee Year Fund. There were more shouts. Mr. Wilson tried to make himself heard above the din. For a while it seemed doubtful that the sale would go on. Then Mr. Wilson managed to make himself heard. "We have given this matter deep consider- ation," he saia. 'The World Ref- ugee Year Fund does need mon- y. Mr. O'Hara again interrupted him from his 'soap box' among the gilt chairs. "I'll buy them for £50..." Adroitly Mr. Wilson that opportunity with: "You can begin the bidding for the first of them with that," and the sale was under way. BOUGHT BY MARQUIS The sale ended within sec- onds. The two paintings were bought by Harold Mortlake, a London dealer, bidding on behalf of the Marquis of Bath. "The Parliament and Ring- strasse, Vienna', painted by Hit- er about 1912, sold for £280. The second and smaller picture, grabbed 920 Mystery Surrounds Minister's Accident By DON O'HEARN Toronto--Few here yet can be- lieve that Dr. Mackinnon Phil- lips would run away from the scene of an accident Dr. Phillips, however, pleaded guilty in absentia Then he resigned his post as provincial secretary But along with this he still says he did not hit the car con cerned. And he can give an explanation of why he pleaded guilty. though it cannot be reported here. At the time of writing he says he is going to seek further legal advice. There may or may not he more developments. If there are not any and the Situation rests as it is there will always be a certain amount of mystery surrounding it here For the former provincial sec retary tells and has told a story which seems to stand up CRUEL TRE However, this aside, let a word be said on behalf of this man who was ten years a cabinet min ister. Some very cruel things have been said about him by people who had no knowledge of him at all They did not know that he is not the type of man to run away. That he is perhaps the most humane man in the house. And that if he did do this act to which he has pleaded guilty there must be some extraordin- ary reason behind his conduct. MANY SIDES Many members of the House and many members of the build- ing staff know him for his ex- ceptional generosity with his lime and talent They also know him as a bit of a "'character". A man who rambles at length and all over the ball park when he is talking. And one who may make an ap- pointment for 9 o'clock at night and shows up at one in the morning But along with this they know him best as a humane person. A man of feeling for the troubles of others And one whom you would say is just about as honest as can be found He is the last person in the world you would ever conceive as leaving the scene of an acci- dent He is not a man upon whom this writer i$ going to pass criti cal judgement He has known him as a good man for too long. "A View of the Karlskirche, Vienna," painted by him about lhe same time, went for £320. The buyer, the Marquis of Bath, said afterwards that he would have paid more, because he wanted to have them. He in- tends to hang them at Longleat, nis family seat in Wiltshire. "But," he 'added, "not where visitors. can see them. The maj- ority of people might go wild at seeing them." SOLD BY WIDOW The pictures were sold on be- half of Mrs. Monica Fischer, a German widow who was not preseni at the sale. Another 50 hitler paintings are said to be in existence. He is believed to have painted some 300 in his obscure Vienna days, but later rounded up many of them and had them destroyed. Mr. O'Hana explained why he was so furious about the sale of these paintings. "What memories other than those of torture and oppression can Hitler pictures bring? If 1 had got them, I would have burn- ed them there and then, right on the spot. To give some of the money they fetched to refugees is an insult to the refugees." PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Many a man has a boring friend that he wishes would bor- row $20 from him Far and away too many people have a hobby of yapping when- ever and as long as they can manage to-get anybody to listen to them. It is no wonder that people have so many kinds of diseases. This world is a highly unsanitary place to live in, Your new TEL come a Baptist Minister, moving around Canada in response (o his calls WIDE BACKGROUND Thus it happened that, of his five children,. Olive was born at Rolaid, Manitoba; went to school at Prince Albert, Saskatchewan; commenced her university educa- tion at Saskatoon; and finally graduated BA in history and English at McMaster University, Hamilton -- where in 1952 the prime minister was awarded his first honorary degree. After a course at the Ontario College of Education, Olive Free- man followed in her ancestral footsteps to become a teacher, first in Huntsville and then at Guelph. | Then came her first marriage; but after only three years, her lawyer - husband Harry Palmer died. leaving one baby daughter Carolyn. Olive Palmer went back to teaching, at Arthur, Ontario, and later at Owen Sound. Then she was appointed to the depart- ment of education in the Ontario government, where she rose to be acting director of the guid- ance branch, in succession to Howard Beattie. Thus the honorary degree of DCL awarded by Acadia was no empty gesture aimed at her fam- ous husband. On the contrary, it was a well-deserved recognition of the achievements of Olive Evangeline Diefenbaker in' the field of education, coupled with a tribute to the present genera- tion of a family long and closely associated with that ancient house of learning NATURAL GAS IS YOUR BEST BUY for HOUSE HEATING NOTHING DOWN No Payment, Until September !!
