Fhe Dshawa Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Friday, July 8, 1960 The Careless Motorist Is At Fault Again A long weekend is past, another is in the offing. Throughout the province, motoring took its deadly toll, despite fepeated appeals by highway officials for greater care on the roads. What are we to expect over the Confederation Day weekend? Thus comments The Quebec Telegraph-Journal The past holiday was one of a dif- ferent nature, Parades and other festivi- ties kept many people close to home, and wet weather discouraged many people from seeking the open spaces, As a result traffic on the highways may not have been as heavy as we can ex- pect this coming weekend. Other things being equal, starting tomorrow night we can expect a heavy flow of traffic as citizens start vacation periods, or simply seek refuge from the heat of the city for the weekend. Be careful! Be courteous! Be consi- derate! Motorists should always be alert, ready to stop. What many faill to realize is that it is not always large obstructions that result in calamity. We draw atten- tion to five fatalities last weekend near Granby, in which children between the ages of four and eight died under the wheels of motor vehicles. Three sepa- rate accidents accounted for the deaths, and while details have not reached our desk, we to believe that these deaths could have been avoided if everyone had been driving with proper care. Is the possibility of saving a few minutes on a hundred-mile journey worth the risk of a tragedy in which a young life is snuffed out in a moment? What is a minute saved by an adult when set alongside the millions of minutes lost by a dead child? his is but one aspect of the tremen- dous loss resulting from careless motor- ing. After the accident it is too' late for anything except lament. While yet there is time, every motorist should resolve to end this needless toll on the highways. And if he isn't prepared to make that resolve, he should quit driv- ing. There is no room on our highways for any motorist who refuses to be care- ful. No Nationalistic Wave Speaking at the 150th anniversary of the Canada Club in London, Prince Philip expressed hopes that Canada was not in the grip of a wave of nationalism. He defined nationalism as being against everybody except yourself. The Peter- borough Examiner does not know what prompted, this concern. Canada has like most places where there is a large Celtic element, a ferocious fringe which will wage war for self-determination (Scottish nationalists, Welsh nationalists and so on.). In Canada they have been sucked into the main stream, except for a wayward offshoot here and there, and the people of Canada are mostly inte- rested in fitting this country into the community of nations without creating a fuss. There is good reason to suppose that our search for national identity is bound up in something more profound than our own selfish interests, says the Exa- miner. We have, for certain traditional reasons, been forced to stand on the sidelines and watch other nations make a mess of things. Now, because we have a strategic geographic position in world affairs, we want to be able to influence our own destiny. This means we must be a coherent nation, perhaps more ready than others to protest when our rights are infringed or our toes trod- den on but his shor'd not be regarded as nationalistic. Using the word in the sense Prince Philip defined it, Canada is one of the least nationalistic nations in the world. In the United Nations, in NATO and as a member of the Commonwealth, this country has earned the reputation of being always ready to help others. Call Buddy Instead Make it a day at a time. Forget what happened yesterday. Never mind worrying about getting through tomorrow. So says the Van- couver Sun. This seemingly simpie formula has freed a known 250,000 persons in 80 countries from alcoholic slavery during the last quarter century. Many thousand more alcoholics have managed to quit drinking for good through the system without becoming registered members of Alcoholics Anony- mous. The 25th anniversary of its founding in Akron, Ohio, which AA celebrated recently marks one of the great dates in 20th century social progress. AA has succeeded in beating this scourge far more effectively than medi- cine, psychiatry or religion. It has found a well-spring of man's humanity to man which urges alcoholics who master absti- nence to devote themselves to helping others out of the dreadful swamp. AA was founded and continues to grow on self-knowledge. That begins for the alcoholic only when he admits the disease -- and its only answer. When he admits that he's one of those persons who for some reason not yet understood is absolutely allergic to al- Fhe Osharoa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Maneger €.

AA has its famed 14 steps that work for most who go at it with an admission of alcoholism and a real determination to quit drinking. These are the biggest steps--since the greatest treachery of alcohol is to trick the mind out of taking them. Once the path is set, says one AA member, it goes this way: "Anyone can go for 24 hours without a drink. That's all we really do in AA. We know we can't do a thing about-what happened yesterday. So we concentrate on staying away from the first drink today. "And if we feel the old urge for a drink coming on, we call one of our AA buddies instead." Other Editor's Views TURKEYS IN US.

OTTAWA REPORT Scepticism Aroused By Mining Telegrams By PATRICK NICHOLSON "This is almost blasphemy against the House of Commons . . . some mining manager is taking some MPs for a ride . . . it certainly arouses a great deal of scepticism in my mind about the integrity of the Rio Tinto or- ganization." "The Amazing Case of the Vanished Telegraphers" caused Douglas Fisher, CCF Member of Parliament for Port Arthur, to levy these serious charges on the floor of the House. The "organ- ization' to which he refers is the Rio Tinto group of mining com- panies headed by former Liberal cabinet minister Robert Winters, who is widely reporied to aspire to the Liberal leadership. Some person or persons spent thousands of dollars in sending over 3,000 telegrams to MPs here, signed by names which were in many cases subsequently untraceable. These telegrams were long, they were sent at full rate (95 cents for 10 words), they fell into about eight form- ulas of phrasing; and they were obviously sent in order to sway political opinion here in favor of Rio Tinto's plans, Mr. Fisher told Parliament. NAMES NOT KNOWN He added that he had replied to more than 300 signatories of such telegrams - addressed to himself. "But I 'have received back almost every one of my re- plies as being undeliverably by the post office," he complained. The same experience befell his party leader, Mr. Hazen Argue. The postal delivery evidently cannot locate persons of the names signed to those telegrams in the community. where they originated. "In other words, we can do nothing but suspect that these were dummy telegrams sug- gested by the mine interests, and we must assume those in- terests to be Rio Tinto," con- cluded Mr. Fisher, Lobbying members of Parlia- ment is an accepted and ac- ceptable democratic process. It is for this reason that the post office will carry, free of postage stamp, any letler mailed any- where in Canada addressed to any member of Parliament at the Parliament Building, Oft- tawa. Every day MPs receive lotters, petitions, telegrams, tele- phone calls and personal visits, aimed at winning their support for some individual, community, group or national objective. But MPs learn to differentiate between an organized pressure group masquerading as spon- taneous public feeling, such as Mr. Fisher suspects this may have been, must .be examined closely. Were fictitious names used? Did a few organizers im- personate a substantial popular movement by using thousands of different names? Did this cas- cade of telegrams, apparently conforming to &bout eight pat- terns, emanate from one organ- izing centre, or did it really rep- resent the personal clamour of several thousand individuals? The return of his mailed replies, as being undeliverable, raised such doubts in Mr, Fisher's mind, as they would have done in the mind of any reasonable person, and Mr. Fisher aired these doubts in the House. THE LAKEHEAD GIANT Douglas 'Fisher~ was dubbed "the giant-killer'"" when he de- feated the Right Hon. C.D. Howe in the 1957 election, During three years in -Ottawa, he has de- servedly and unquestionably-- but not always like a shrinking violet -- built himself up to the status of a giant himself. He gets many newspaper headlines and wide attention across Canada, by virtue of this constructive, orig- inal and often controversial ideas, which he never hesitates to hurl at public audiences. In his early days here, this column predicted that rookie Fisher would inherit the mantle of former CCF stalwart, Alistair Stewart, as a stern critic of whatever he considered undesir- able in 'business practice. His thorough work in- personally ans- wering over 300 telegrams, and his protest in the spotlight, in connection with this suspected "'slay-ride for MPs," show that he is deservedly becoming an outstanding member of the small yet outstanding group of CCF MPs here.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent for The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The British minis- try of power and fuel has decided to slow down the pace of its de- velopment of nuclear power sta- tions. This decision will not affect the five new stations now being built in various parts of the coun- try. The accelerated program which was laid out in 1957, how- ever, will be slowed down consid- erably, and new projects pushed farther into the future, In-a white paper published by the ministry, there are definite in- dications that this step has been taken to ease the difficulties of the nationalized coal industry. The white paper contains this significant statement: "Since 1957, coal has become plentiful and oil supply prospects have also improved. The need, on fuel supply grounds, for an immediate and sharp acceleration in the rate of ordering nuclear power capacity has, therefore, passed." It ferther goes on to say that more power stations of the con- ventional coal-burning type will be needed, and®that in the late 1960's, these will add about five million tons to the coal require- ments of power stations. MEANS BIG SAVING This slowing down of the nu- clear energy program will mean .a saving of some £90 over the next seven year period. Sir Chris- topher Hinton, chairman of the Central Electricity Generating Board, told a press conference that the former program for nu- clear power stations would have cost the board £530 million. The revised program would cost £410 million, Of this reduction of £120 million, some £30 million will be devoted to the building of conven- tional stations utilizing coal, leav- ing a net reduction of £90 mil on. The white paper says that al- though the cost of electricity from the first nuclear stations to be completed next year would be higher than originally estimated, the costs of later stations would be considerably lower. What was not foreseen, however, was the extent of the reduction that has also taken place in the costs of conventional power from new sta tions, In a nutshell, the minister of power, Richard Wood, explain. ed that the main reason for the changes was that in 1957 the nu- clear power program had been accelerated to meet certain changes expected to take place in the last three years.- These changes had not been as expected and therefore acceleration of the program has become unneces sary. One of the chief factors which had brought about this de- cision was the change in the posi tion of the coal industry, which has huge stocks of unwanted coal on its hands. This has caused some commen tators to observe that the deci- sion must strengthen fears that the government has given way to pressure on behalf of coal. Cer- tainly it has been welcomed by the workers in the coal industry as being a move for their benefit. QUEEN'S PARK even less progress.

It also was realized that the party was out of touch with the people. That new proposals and policies had to be formulated.
