dhe Osho ges Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. age 6 Wednesday, July 12, 1961 Oshawa Logical Place For Motorcar Museum 'We have often wondered why Oshawa loes not have an automotive museum. Fhe Canadian industry was born and wirtured here, thanks to the vision and renius of R. S. McLaughlin, and the :ity has held a dominating place as Gen- wal Motors became the biggest of the 3ig Three. The museum would have specimens of he McLaughlin buggy, as well as the first "gas buggies" to be produced here, because the story of the McLaughlin bpggy is an essential introduction to the story of the gas-powered vehicles. There would be trucks on display as well as alitomobiles. 'There would be parts as well as completed models to indicate significant advances made on the toad to the comfortable, powerful vehicle of today. + The advantages to the city of such a museum would be many. Foremost would be its attraction of tourists. Hundreds of thousands of Canadian 4nd American tourists travel the high- Government The battle between the Diefenbaker government and the Senate over the tariff bill amendent is building into a consti- tutional issue big enough to lead to re- form of the Senate. The Senate concedes that the House of Commons has the sole right to levy taxation, but the Liberal majority con- tends that, in amending the tariff bill to permit appeals to the tariff board against decisions of the minister of na- tional revenue, it is not in any way in- fringing on tax rights. The supremacy of the Commons in 'taxation laws is a principle which the UX. House of Commons established beyond question in 1911 after 233 years of struggle with the House of Lords. The British North America Act states: "Bills for apportioning any part of the public revenue or for imposing any tax or impost shall originate in the House of Commons." Rule 63 of the Canadian House of Commons says: "All aids and supplies granted to Her Majesty by the Parliament of Canada are the sole gifts of the House of Commons." This rule ways in this district each year -- and they travel in cars, most of which have probably been made in Oshawa. Almost everyone has some interest in auto- mobiles, and many people are fascinated by them, particularly the antiques. There is no doubt that were there a comprehensive display of automotive history here, the city would quickly be- come a "must" stop on the schedule of many, probably most, of the tourists who now whizz by on Highway 401 or High- way 2, on the way to some more highly publicized city or tourists area. The museum would provide the city with invaluable publicity, supplying strong additional for the brochures, pamphlets and other printed matter now distributed by various agen- cies concerned with the city's progress. material It would, in conjuction with the existing museum at Henry House, be an important contribution to education in Oshawa and district. Vs. Senate is based on the preface to a UK. Com- mons resolution in 1678, which asserted: "It is the undoubted right of the Com- mons to direct, limit and appoint in such bills (for the granting of aids and supplies to the Crown) the ends, pur- poses, limitations and qualifications of such grants, which ought not be changed or altered by the House of Lords. Prime Minister Diefenbaker cited the UK. resolution as he argued in the Commons that the same conditions must apply to revenue-raising measures as revenue-spending measures. The tariff bill, he said, was clearly a tax revenue measure. The Senate and the Commons have reached a compromise before -- in 1934 -- on an amendment to a tax bill But Mr. Diefenbaker has said that this time there will be no compromise, but that if the Senate won't back down, the legislation will be dropped. He saw two consequences: Blame for the Senate for blocking beneficial legislation, and ultimate Senate reform. Packaging By Drivers A good driver demonstrates that he is 'a good driver even before he turns the 'starter switch. Here's how, explains the Ontario Safety League. There is an important principle about .car handling that most careful drivers recognize -- though few could spell it out. "Anything that needs doing in a car, and can be done before the car is "in motion, should be so done". And the first thing to do, on entering a car, is 'to "package" it. " "Packaging' the « comfort of passengers. Is the ventilation : going to be right? Are parcels, etc. + stowed away carefully?

There are two reasons why it is de- sirable to drive with locked doors. Firstly, it is much safer in the event of a collision; doors are less likely to fly open, and allow car occupants to fall outside, if they are locked; this applies even with the special "safety" door locks. Seondly, locked doors will keep out unwanted intruders. The public does not realize how frequently a solo driver waiting at a stop light is shocked -- and worse -- by a man who opens the right hand door and jumps in. Women drivers 4&0 Wie usual vicums. A woman sitting alone in an unlocked car always risks the sudden intrusion of -a drunk, per- vert, hold-up man, or purse snatcher. There are many elements in the make-up of "good driving" says the On- tario Safety League. "Packaging' is the first, in sequence. And it is quite high up the list in importance Other Editor's Views THEY PEEKED (Hamilton Spectator) The British publishers of the paper- back edition of "Lady Chatterley's Lover" made $173,000 profit out of it in two months. When the celebrated Dr. Samuel Johnson accused by a lady of putting vulgar words in his first English dic- tionary, he replied: "Madam, you were looking for them!" Perhaps something of the sort might be said of many of those who have made Lady Chatter- ley's publishers prosperous.

Another reader replied: "I have 4 read Mr. Nicholson's column for Readers' Letters Praise And Blame By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Thoughts stimu- lated by the Coyne case have added greatly to the usual flow of letters from readers of this column. I have enjoyed reading the wide range of comment ex- pressed, and thank all those to whom I have not replied per- sonally. Those who criticize Finance Minister Fleming blame him chiefly for allowing four years to pass before he took action. On the other side, readers ex- press indignation at the gover- nor of the Bank of Canada for his unusual step in making pub- lic confidential communications which had passed between him- self and the finance minister. Amazement has been stirred up by the revelation that Mr. Coyne, who is now paid about $208.33 per working day, may receive a life pension of $25,000 a year from his present age of 50. In the words of one reader: "In this community, eight aver- age men must work for 12 months to earn that sum." T. V.

On the other i hand, I understand that his critic is the publicity director of CCF. For my : part I am willing to accept Mr. .! Nicholson's report as likely to B.C., introduces a rare angle when he writes: 'The present farce is just put on as a show, and it would not make the slight- est difference were the Socialists or Liberals in the majority (no- tice, not "in power" as so fre- queniiy stated)." This Social Credit belief that not the gov- ernment, but the financiers, are in power is emphasized by his furher suggestion that "Diefen- baker had to pass through the financial filter before being per- mitted to take the job, as did Flemnig."" LETTERS PUBLISHED Newspapers in Saskatchewan have published letters from readers concerning my specu- lation that Hazen Argue, if dra- gooned unfairly by organized labor out of the leadership of the New Party, might try to join the Liberal party. "Inane'" and "deserving of a fiction award" were some comments. "The most dishonest journalist on either side of the Iron Curtain" QUEEN'S PARK Young Liberals And Resolutions By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Ten young Liber- als have been causing their party to blush, blush, blush. Not having gone to Arthur Murray they disdained the dancing at the young Grits sum- mer conference. Instead they carried on with business--and gave the party a hot-foot. Ont roach the hand music, and the other 150 dele- gates, they passed their by now famous resolution. They indicated that they felt the Liberals should start mak- ing love to the New Party and its prospective members. Shame, shame, shame. That's what the leadership felt like saying. But it couldn't. The obvious move for provin- cial leader Wintermeyer and Ontario President Royce Frith was to treat the whole thing lightly. To say "well if they're that crazy they should join the New Party. That's where they be- long." WEREN'T ON BIT However they weren't on the it. of of Mr. Frith tried giving the del- egates a lecture, and incident- ally tied the knot tighter with a bit of reverse English. It was no use, he said, for a mouse to try and swallow a lion. It will be a long day before the CCF "lions" let him forget that one. Mr. Wintermeyer managed to keep his feet on the ground. But his only comment was a vague generality. The incident is testimony to the amateurishness which still marks the ranks of Liberal or- ganization. You would not see the Con- servatives getting in a mess like this. They have a summer confer- ence each year. NO RESOLUTIONS But there are no resolutions at it. They know the dangers of letting youth loose on a semi-official podium. The onlv time voime P(Me pan play with resolutions is at their annual meeting. And this is held at the same time as the meeting of the sen- ior association, and' a resolu- tions committee gives every- thing a careful screening.

They also might give free dancing lessons to all delegates to young Liberals meetings. be the more authentic." That was one of several of my columns referred to on the floor of the House of Commons this session. MOUNTIES PRAISED In less controversial vein were several letters from read- ers expressing appreciation of my report on G Division, RCMP which polices 1,500,000 square miles of our Northwest Territories with 146 men. A par- ticularly interesting letter came from Frank Crocker, living near Cornwall, who describes him- self as possibly the oldest re- tired member of the North West Mounted Police. C. A. Sadler of Oshawa, writes "I have always enjoyed your column but certainly this one leaves one boiling. Some of it was so very misleading (it con- cerned death on the highway). The lousy unbusinesslike pro- cedure of our governments in dealing with murder and suicide by automobiles is most disgust. ing." I agree; but I think my words were misunderstood. I criticized the granting of licences to drivers who cannot afford insur- ance, and hence presumably cannot afford maintenance; and 1 deplored the shocking dis- closure that, during the last three months of 1960, 58 drivers so young that they were driving illegally were involved in acci- dents in Ontario. The CBC gets brickbats. "Your batting average is usu- ally very good, but today you are off to the races. Good value is received for money spent by the taxpayers on the CBC." Then came complaint about the "propaganda" in a TV re- port from Cuba: "An army of 100,000 men with tanks, jet planes, big guns and motorized machine guns smashed that ter- rible army of Cuban exiles, one of the greatest armies of 1,500 men the world has ever known. Did you ever hear of the Charge of the Light Brigade?" praise and READERS' VIEWS School Boilers Generate Heat (EDITOR'S NOTE: The fol- lowing letter addressed to Jack Gearin is in reply to a letter that appeared recently in this paper ("Good Even- ing", June 29) from R. H. Lunney, building and main- tenance supervisor of the Oshawa Board of Education, regarding a contract awarded to the York:Shipley Co. for the purchase of three boilers for OCVI). Dear Sir: We are in receipt of your let- ter of June 28th together with enclosure and while it is not our wish to enter into a lengthy exchange of charges and coun- ter-charges, or to prolong and further aggravate the highly contentious subject under con- sideration, we do feel that in all fairness to ourselves and to other Canadian manufacturers in our industry, that we must reply at least in part to some of the statements included in the above-mentioned enclos- ure: Paragraph 1--We and others in our industry very definitely refute the statement 'Some misunderstanding of the case is apparent". Paragraph 2--We question the speed in which the heating con- tractor was advised to place on order the York-Shipley units, following the opening of the tenders, as this does not indi- cate that this matter was thor- oughly discussed before a deci- sion was reached. Paragraph 3--This company, the Canadian Boiler Society and two of our competitors certain. ly do not agree with the state- ment, "There is no completely Canadian-made oil fired pack- aged unit made in Canada cap- able of burning No. 5 and No. 6 oil". We refer you to paragraph No. 2 on page No. 2 of the letter under date of May 20th which was sent to Premier Leslie Frost, in which the assistant Sales Manager of Dominion Bridge Co. Ltd., clearly goes on record to the effect that his company tendered on a pack- age of all-Canadian content, en- gineered and manufactured in Canada, by a wholly owned Canadian company, and that this equipment was approved and acceptable to the consult- ing engineer responsible on this project and was in fact the low- est bidder on the job. Paragraph 4--We have gone on record in previous corre- spondence to the effect that the factory-built and factory fire tested package boilers tendered on by our company and also others in our industry, which are regarded by the Canadian Boiler Society and also by sev- eral leading consulting engi- neers as complete package gen- erators, are very definitely not "A different type of installa- tion" as suggested.. They may be different in overall appear- ance than other heating plants in Oshawa schools, but they most certainly are not field- erected, etc.,, as previously claimed, and when factory fire tested and shipped to the job- site they do not require any dif- ferent treatment than the York- Shipley or any other name brand package unit. Paragraph 5--The Canadian Boiler Society is the recognized authority which governs the formulation and the recommen- dation of engineering standards and the standard commercial practices for the Canadian Boil- er Industry, and we can see no justifiable reason why the defi- nition of a package unit as sup- BYGONE DAYS 25 YEARS AG Jimmy Bartlett one of Can ada's outstanding long-distance runners and one of Oshawa's foremost athletic competitors, was selected by the Oylmpic INSIDE YOU Claims For Drug Said Over-Rated By BURTON H FERN, MD Is the secret of eternal youth locked up in a few vials of Novocain? "Yes", claim Romanian and several American doctors, They swear that Novocain also called "procaine" and "H3" -- can turn back the years, restore vigor and cure chronic disease. Here's what they say: H3 softens hardening of the arteries, hardens softening of the brain, grows fuzz on bald heads and melts arthritis. It can change any multiple sclerosis and muscular dystrophy victim into a miniature Charles Atlas. Hearing aids are tossed aside when once-muted sounds come booming in and ear noises fade. Shriveled-up, worn-out patients burst forth with new energy. OVER-RATED THEORY? Most doctors feel that Novo- cain injections are over-rated. They use words like "old stuff', "outlandish lies" or simply "Communist propaganda'. You can find the true answer in 500 German patients who re- ceived enough Novocain to numb an elephant's dental work. Only a scattered few showed startling changes. Loose, wrinkled skin smoothed and gray hair darkened. H3 numbed nain Rut nn one orew vonnoer Many seemed . supercharged with new energy. Up and around they were no longer vulnerable to infections and complications that plague bed patients. None of this should amaze doctors who remember cocaine procaine's cousin. Cocaine dulls that tired feeling and makes you feel stronger than you really are. It sharpens the mind and magnifies every nerve signal. No wonder weakened muscles seem stronger! "HAPPINESS PILLS" Novocain also works like to- day's happiness pills. It blocks a natural compound (MAO) from destroying energy - filled chemicals bathing the brain. Your system quickly breaks Novocain into two chemicals -- a vitamin that prevents old mice from turning gray and a sub- stance that lowers blood pres- sure and smooths out uneven heart beats. Far from eternal youth, Novo- cain works temporary miracles for a lucky few. But doctors can't depend on luck. Today's drugs can routinely perform most of these miracles.

Paragraph 7--As previously indicated, we have never claim- ed that York-Shipley would not or could not produce boilers in Canada, but we did state that from personal observation at the time this matter was first raised, it was apparent that boilers of the size required were of a size that could not be han- dled by the De Laval plant un- til plant extension and equip- ment were completed, and we also pointed out that they had not made any boilers of any description prior to the date of thé original letter, and conse- quently experience would be sadly lacking. In addition to this the burners will be manufac- tured in York, Pennsylvania. It is quite obvious since this issue has been raised that ex- traordinary efforts have been made to have a boiler produced in their Canadian plant and while it no doubt is true that a unit has been produced, the size and the complete circum- stances surrounding its comple- tion are not available to us and we cannot comment other than to state we still do not believe boilers of the size i can be produced in the Peterbor- ough plant yet, and if and when they. are it will be inter- esting to learn the percentage of U.S. content which is sup- plied from the parent plant.

We very definitely are not disgruntled and are at all times fully prepared to lose with grace and dignity on a competitive basis, but we do not consider that Canadian industry was af- forded the consideration due, in this instance, We sincerely trust that this together with the other copies of correspondence which have been forwarded to you will pro- vide you with a detailed picture of the circumstances which mo- tivated this issue, and as pre- viously stated, while we do not wish to prolong or otherwise unnecessarily further aggravate this situation, we do not con- sider that we can just sit back and not challenge some of the statements, particularly those which reflect upon our com- pany's name and established reputation. Toronto J. R. BRUCE, Vice-President and General Manager, Oakwood Iron Works Ltd. REPORT FROM U.K. Hope Canadian Ban Will Lift By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- There is a strong hope among livestock exporters in the United Kingdom that the ban placed by the Canadian government on imports of pedi- gree livestock from Britain last year may be lifted not later than August or September. This embago was imposed at the time of serious outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease in this country towards the end of last year. It has affected to a sub- stantial degree exports of live- stock to North America, and particularly 'from Scotland. © © At the annual meeting in Lon- don of the British Livestock Ex- port Group, members expressed concern at the continuance of the embargo. They were given some encouraging news by an official of the ministry of agri- vulture. Ministry represen- tatives, he said, were meeting with members of the staff of the Canadian department of agri- culture next month to discuss this problem. There were some indications, he said, that there would be a resumption of im- ports to Camada in August of this year. Later, a ministry of agricul ture spokesrnan said that it was possible that. the Canadian de- partment of agriculture would issue permits for the importa. tion of Scott#sh animals entering quarantine ¢ the end of August. The question of animals from England and Wales, which have to spend a residential period of 60 days in Scotland apart from the quarantine period, to meet with the Canadian import regu- lations, will come under review at the meeting of representatives of the two countries next month.
