She Osharon Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont, Page 6 Wednesday, May 31, 1961 Offer Of Submarines To Quell NATO Doubts The Kennedy Administration's offer of five Polaris submarines to NATO seems to be substitute for last year's suggestion by NATO's supreme com- mander General Norstad, and others, that the Atlantic alliance be given its own nuclear deterrent. The Norstad proposal, of course, would have meant a complete reversal of U.S. policy and it was not well received by some others in the alliance. The difficulty is the shield-and-sword concept which has moulded NATO's military existence. The shield, repre- sented by the conventional defence forces of the member nations stationed in Europe, is to hold off the Russian attack against the Western European fortress until the United States can bring into play the sword, in the shape of its massive nuclear weapons, But the Russians can hit the United States as hard as the United States can hit them. Consequently, some of the European nations, and France in particular, fear | that, if the crisis came, the U.S. might | refrain from wielding the sword, for fear of reprisal, and Europe would be over-run. This explains, in part, France's determination to possesses its own nuclear weapons. The Norstad proposal would have reassured the doubters. President Ken- nedy has tried to do the same thing with his offer of the Polaris submarines -- a suggestion that would be much more acceptable to the U.S. Congress, ever jealous of U.S. nuclear possessions. NATO's primary function when it was organized 12 years ago was to half Russian aggression in Europe. That it has done, Not a square inch of territory has been given up, not the smallest change made in any frontier faced by the Russians. But the conditions of 12 years ago are not the conditions of to- day. The Russians appear to be much less interested in direct aggression in Europe and much more interested in economic and ideological aggression in various other parts of the world. In other words, NATO has a much broader and more complex task. The question is whether NATO can adapt itself to the new conditions. Forest Fire Weapon Almost everywhere we turn during the summer we are reminded of the danger and the cost of forest fires. Yet a U.S. authority argues that fire can be a healthy scourge, a natural and effective means of helping establish and maintain strang forests. He is Dr. Charles S. Cooper of the U.S. Agricultural Service, Writing in the Scientific American, he argues that be- fore Europeans came to North America, fires periodically swept over great ex- panses. Growth-ring scars in ancient trees bear witness to this, and on the Pacific Coast it is confirmed by early explorers, who remarked on the pre- valence of smoke banks hundreds of miles out to sea in the summer months-- smoke from massive forest fires. Grasslands, too, can benefit from fire, according to Dr. Cooper. Protected from fire, some of the valuable grasslands in the U.S. are being invaded by worthless shrubs, which were formerly killed by swift fires that left the grass roots relatively unharmed. Fire favors some types of vegetation, hinders others. The long-leaf pine of the southern U.S. profits from fire. Ashes of a forest fire provide it with an ideal seed-bed. As a seedling it is more resis- tant to fire than competing vegetation, and as a growing tree, more resistant than competing scrub oak. Fire also destroys the dead vegetation which harbors brown-rot, the pine's worst enemy. As a result, foresters in the south- ern states now deliberately burn over the long-leaf pine forests once every three years. The Douglas fire requires burned- over land to reseed itself naturally, while the ponderosa pine grows more quickly when smothering undergrowth is destroyed. All this may be true for the West Coast and the southern U.S. but On. tario foresters to our knowledge have never considered fire anything but a menace. In any case, fire as a weapon would have to be used only in the most selective and carefully controlled way. As far as the public is concerned, the word is still: Be careful -- prevent fires, Treatment Of Criminals There was, not long ago, tendency to look upon all criminals as individuals who were mentally sick and who should be treated as such. Now 'there is a more balanced desire to probe all factors that may produce criminal actions. W. H. Weber, superintendent of the Ontario Mental Hospital at North Bay, who recently addressed the Third Bien- nial Canadian Congress of Corrections, said one of the greatest problems in crime is the psychopath. They give you all the right answers, but give them an opportunity and they'll repeat their crimes. And they use their friends for their own selfish purposes. Another typical comment came from Warden David McLean of Kingston Penitentiary, who remarked that inmates who cannot be turned from crime and are not interested in reform, should be housed in separate institutions.

George Street, chairman of the Na- tional Parole Board, who said: "I do not believe that every vulture is a maladjusted nightingale." Such comment is quite in keeping with the purpose of the Congress, namely the discovery of ways to effect correc- tion. It simply recognizes the fact that some individuals are apparently in- corrigible, and that if lesser offenders are to be salvaged there should be a greater distinction in their confinement. Just as a few bad apples are removed from a barrel to prevent complete contamina- tion, so the hardened criminals should be separated so that the work of reform may be effected where it holds some possibility of success. Rehabilitation is the most important work to be effected in Canadian peniten- tiaries and prisons. For every person that is turned from a life of crime there is a tremendous saving to the Canadian community. But more important is the fact that each person who is restored to society recovers human dignity and can take his place as an equal to his fellow citizens, So important is this work, that it is hoped that in time it will be possible to find ways to readjust even the worst of the individuals we now label as in- corrigible.

'COMPLETE EXCHANGE OF VIEWS QUEEN'S PARK Hotelmen Want Booze In Rooms By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Booze in hotel- rooms but not in the bedrooms. This seems to be Premier Frost's thinking on the trouble- some question of room service of liquor in hotels. The government has been under strong pressure from the hotel and tourist industries to permit room service. They insist that tourists want it, and they point out there are obvious absurdities in the pres- ent system -- under which a guest can't get a bottle of wine with a meal in his room but can in the dining-room down- stairs. Mr. Frost has been showing some sympathy for the hotel people's position. But he veers away from any- thing that would encourage hotel bedroom drinking sprees. There has been the suggestion that service might be permitted in hotel sitting rooms. It is believed Quebec might start something along this line, but this presumably would mean service in suites only. 'HOWL' ANTICIPATED And, of course, there would be an immediate howl of dis- crimination. However, it looks likely the hotel people may take some heart. They probably won't get full service, as they have been de- manding, but they should end up with something. One thing there won't be in the province is licensed book- making. INSIDE YOU Well-Cooked Food To Avoid Worms By BURTON H. FERN, MD You smoke cigars, chew to- oacco and they still say you're eating for two ! How could you possibly have a tapeworm? You're clean and sanitary. Tapeworms often come nestled cozily in that rare steak, pork sausage or spiced fish! You can scrub your hands until they're raw, but if you gulp down one contaminated mouthful, the worm's head comes to life and latches onto your intestinal wall, It grows from the neck down, sometimes as long as two auto- mobiles, It resembles a ribbon of tiny patches of cellophane tape glued edge to edge. The hindmost patches or segments bulge with thousands of micro- scopic eggs, but none can infect you. HATCHES ELSEWHERE First, each egg has to hatch in some other animal---cattle, pigs, fish--and curl up between clean, flea-free Fido can keep you and yours from becoming just another tape-recorded sta- tistic ! BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Building a new road leading into Lakeview Park was discus. sed by the Board of Park Com- missioners. A. J. Graves was appointed by city council as a member of the Oshawa Public Welfare Board. Plans for the South Ontario Agriculture Society Fair were started with F. L. Mason as president and W. E. N. Sinclair, managing director. Stanley Gales, president of St. George's Young People's Asso. ciation, was chosen president of the East York Local Council An- glican Young People's Associa- muscle fibers, where it's eaten jon half raw by some unsuspecting soul. Now, the whole cycle be- gins again. While tapeworms may cause no trouble, victims often feel a vague gnawing in the abdomen. Many feel queasy and don't want to eat. Only 7 in every 100 really 'eat for two'. But all pass egg-filled segments. Fish tapeworms may mimic pernicious anemia. They anchor themselves near the stomach, where they swallow vitamin B-12 and other blood-building chemicals needed by the bone marrow. Dwarf, dog and rat tape- wor. s grow up in tiny insects and occasionally invade the hu- man intestine. Fido may snap at an infected flea and then lovingly lick Baby's face. When Baby licks his chops, he gulps down Fido's souvenir--the tape- worm-carrying flea. MEDICAL TREATMENT Once the microscope exposes the worm segment or egg, your doctor will prescribe worm-kill- ing medicine and a routine for cleansing the intestines. You can't celebrate a cure until the worm's head is found. For if it remains, a whole new worm will grow.

With all the talk of crime recently, the question has come to the fore-front. There are ihose who say that licensed betting, as followed in the U.X., would be better than under-cover book-making which exists widely now. Mr. Frost says no. SITUATION DIFFERENT The situation in England is quite different, he feels. There it is an old traditional practice--a business conducted by respectable people. Here the interests that would take over would be those who have been trying to beat the law in every way for years. Pari - mutuel betting is all right, It is out in the open and can be controlled But anything else. the premier. And probably there will be few to disagree with him. No, says OTTAWA REPORT Vessels To Help New Federation By PATRICK NICHOLSON When Transport Minister Leon Balcer welcomed the minister representing the government of the West Indies, to the launch- ing of the ship Federal Maple earlier this month, he repre- sented the fairy godmother role which we are playing in a warm hearted but practical way. "Viewing as we do with great interest and sympathy the ef- forts that are being made in the West Indies to build a new nation within the Common- wealth," declared Hon. Leon Balcer, "Canada has sought to do what it can to help in this cargo and $0,000 cubic feet of bulk dry cargo. Steaming at 14 knots, and built at a cost of $1,700,000 each, these vessels 7 were specially designed for West Indian use by the experi- § enced shipbuilding branch of process of nation building." The Federal Maple is one of two ships, specially designed for inter-island traffic, which Can- ada is presenting to our emerg- ing sister-Dominion. The Fed- eral Palm is being built by the Port Weller Dry Dock Company as the other; the Maple was built by Canadian Vickers at Montreal, Each ship is of about 3,500 tons, Each has accommo- dation for 200 deck passengers, as well as 44 cabin passengers and six more in suites. The 203 feet vessels will also each carry 4,000 cubic feet of refrigerated REPORT FROM U.K. Engine Driver's Costly Adventure By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- An engine driver, who stopped his freight train near a clump of trees to do a bit of poaching for pheasants, found it a rather expensive busi- ness. He was caught by a game- keeper, and it cost him a fine of $5.50 for poaching, and an- other fine of $210 for offering violence to the gamekeeper with a gun. It all sounds like a fantastic story someone dreamed up, yet it was revealed when the man, 51-year-old Alan Youngman ap- peared in court to face these charges. He was caught in the act of poaching when the fire- man of his train started it off and left the scene before Young- man could get back to it. FAMOUS GAME AREA Youngman stopped his freight train at Captain's Wood, an area famed for pheasant, duck and partridge, near Hatfield in Hert- fordshire. He lives in Hatfield, and knew the fame of the wood as a game resort. He hopped down from his engine, armed with an old shotgun. He left the engine and two freight cars and a brake van standing on the line, and went off into the woods to hunt for a pheasant, Unfortunately for him, a gamekeeper, 27-year-old David Mansfield, was on patrol that day. He heard the snapping of twigs and then the report of a gun being fired. He ran to in- vestigate and when he appeared on the scene, Youngman ran for the train. But as he was racing for the train, the engine started up, and off it went with the freight cars, down the railway line, leaving Youngman far be- hind in his race to catch it. He was caught by the game- keeper and marched back to a cottage in the woods. It was charged in court that he threat- ened the young gamekeeper with his shotgun. UNSOLVED PROBLEM The problem of who started up the train when the game- keeper appeared was not solved in court. The prosecuting coun- sel suggested it must have been the fireman of the train, and remarked: "Whether he had some close regard for the repu- tation of the British Railways' time-tables is not known." The gamekeeper testified in court that Youngmau seemed much more frightened about losing his train than about being caught in the act of poach- ing. Defence counsel remarked that the whole story sounded like a musical comedy joke -- an engine driver turned poacher, left behind by his train. But to Mr. Youngman it was far from being a joke. He had to pay up his fines, totalling $215.50. Noth- ing was said in court about what disciplinary action the railway might take in his case. And what happened to the pheasant? According to Mr. Youngman, he missed it. But the gamekeeper told the court he heard its body plummeting through the branches of a tree. i Mr, Balcer's department, CEREMONY PLANNED The two ships, as this column § revealed some weeks ago, will be donated to the West Indies government at a ceremony to be held in Toronto Harbor this summer. They represent a part of our five-year aid program to that new country, a program launched by the Diefenbaker government in 1958, There are various other Ca- nadian projects now under way or in the planning stage, to help the West Indies. 'Mr. Balcer touched on some of these in his speech at the launching of the Federal Maple. The most important is the aid likely to be given in the expan sion of the University College of the West Indies. As the many large and small islands, all at present colonies of Britain, and now known as the British West Indies, move towards self-gov~ ernment in the integrated Fed- eration of the West Indies, there is an insistent need for more and better educational facilities in the islands. Only thus can the West Indians hope to establish an efficient government and a viable over-all economy. HELP PORT FACILITIES But there has always been a great shortage of teachers there so Canada may be able to help this emerging nation in creating a faculty of teaching at the uni- versity, as well as in staffing normal schools, There is, on the material side immediate need for installations to assist shipping. A substantial increase in exports, both to other countries and to other is- lands, must be achieved by every island within the federa- tion, to enhance its prosperity and raise its living standards. Here too, Canada can and will assist. "We expect to commence work soon on the building of a dock at St. Vincent," Mr. Bal- cer announced. "And we hope to be able to meet requests for Canadian assistance in equip- ping ports and harbors else. where." St. Vincent, a smallish island somewhat off the beaten tourist track, is one of the prettier of the pearls of the Caribbean Sea. It is among the world's largest producers of that tough and popular fibre, Sea Island Cotton. There are historical ties, ese pecially in trade, between Can- ada and the West Indian islands. A pattern is shaping up where by we may especially concen- trate upon this "baby of the Americas" much of our valu- able, and needed, economic as- sistance aimed at helping under- developed countries of the free world.
