Poge 6 Thursday, July 20, 1961 More Obstacles Appear To Market Membership If the United Kingdom tries to enter the Common Market as an associate member or under special arrangements to permit little change in exis*ng ar- rangements with the Commonwealth, she will run into stiff opposition from at least one source. Walter Hallstein, head of the Common Market Commis- gion, told the European Parliament at Strasbourg that "our relations with other countries can no longer be understood from an exclusively economic angle. In view of the threats hanging over the free world, they have to be seen in a broader context, which includes politics." He referred specifically to the rela- tions between the Common Market and the countries outside it. There could be no tampering with the Treaty of Rome to permit special arrangements "which could upset the balance and content of the treaty." The treaty allows, however, tor amendment of its terms to cover agree- ments for the admittance of new mem- bers. Article 237 reads: "Any European state may apply to become a member of the Community. It shall address its application to the Council which, after obtaining the opinion of the Commis. sion, shall act by means of a unanimous vote. The conditions of admission and the amendments to this treaty neces- sitated thereby shall be the subject of an agreement between the member states and the applicant state. Such agreement shall be submitted to all the contracting states for ratification in accordance with their respective constitutional rules." The sticker here, of course, is the re- quirement of unaminity, There is another clause, which reads: "The Community may conclude with a third country, or union of states, or en international organization, agree- ments creating an association embody= ing reciprocal rights and obligations, joint actions and special procedures." It was under this clause that Greece joined the Common Market as associate member. It could cover not only the United Kingdom, but the Common- wealth as well. It does not appear, how- ever, that other members of the Com- mon Market would be willing to admit the United Kingdom simply as an as- sociate, because they would want the UK. to accept more responsibility than that type of membership entails. Second-Best Proposal If we cannot have compulsory auto insurance, the next best thing would be a levy on uninsured drivers such as that proposed the other day by Elmer Sopha, Liberal member of the Legisla- ture for Sudbury. In a brief presented to the Legislature's select committee on automobile insurance, Mr. Sopha pro- posed that drivers who do not take out insurance be required to pay $50 annually into the Unsatisfied Judgment Fund -- the fund from which claims are paid on behalf of uninsured drivers, who lose their driving privileges until they have repaid the money into the fund and filed proof of financisl res ponsibility. It is a second-best solution to a presr- ing problem. We agree with the Sudbury Star that Mr. Sopha touches the fringe of the argument advanced in favor of compulsory insurance. It is ridiculous that a driver can pay $5 a year to escape insurance. The procedure re- quired to collect from the Unsatisfied Judgment Fund is such that months and even years elapse before the claim is settled in favor of the "innocent" claim- ent. As the Star notes, this would be fine if garages, hospitals, doctors, fun- eral directors and others are prepared to wait for their money, or if an injured driver has the financial resources to compensate for lost wages while await- ing settlement of the claim. Anyone who can afford to drive a car should be able to afford adequate and proper insurance coverage. It is the duty of the Legislature to see that every possible safeguard is written into legislation for the protection of careful and safe drivers. An Unsatisfied Judg- ment Fund would be unnecessary if it was a statutory requirement that every motor vehicle moving on the highways be adequately covered by insurance. Even visitors could be covered by tem- porary insurance to cover the period they are in, or driving through, the province. Those who argue against the "com. pulsory" feature of automobile insur. ance are not on very sound ground. After all, it is a compulsory feature to pass tests and be allowed to drive a car. And the argument is weighted in favor of compulsory insurance when it in- volves protection for the innocent vic tims of the reckless, careless, drunken or impaired driver. Superhighway Hazards While the over-all accident hazard on superhighways has been notably diminished, a new set of risks have arisen to trip the unwary and mar the safety record of these thoroughfares, W. S. Chalmers of the Dominion Auto- mobile Association warns. The supérhighway has created the necessity for a new standard of road- worthiness in vehicles which must now maintain high speeds for long periods. Particularly is this true of tires to which failures frequently occur under super- highway travel with tires adequate for safe driving under ordinary city or rural cruising speeds.

The relative freedom of driving action on the superhighway low- ers the guard of some drivers who at- tempt changes of speed or direction without the 'preliminary sizing up of the road behind. According to statistics maintained by Dominion Automobile Association, the rear-end collision has now become the primary cause of the "wo or more vehicles" crashes on the Queen Elizabeth way, Ontario's heaviest travelled superhighway. Superhighway inerchanges, Mr. Chalmers declares, which may seem tortuous and coupli- cated to the strange driver, can be a potential cause of accidents involving such stranger and another motorist who is familiar with the various entrances and exits, and who assumes that all other drivers traversing the area know exactly where they are going. Another potential killer, a condition always present in the past, but aggra- vated by the relative freedom from dis- traction, is the "highway hynosis" which afflict some drivers on prolonged superhighway travel. After lengthy periods of high speed driving on super- highways, the driver's faculties become numbered and reflexes slowed with the result that some mishap can and does occur before such hypnotized driver regains his normal alertness. The remedy for "highway nypnosis® would be a cup of coffee or a walk around for a few minutes, but as Mr. Chalmers pointed out, the superhighway is poorly equipped for the driver who wants a cup of coffee or a walk around the block" ~~ although there are plenty of places where the driver can pull off, I sit at a picnic table or walk about. 'HAVEN'T BEEN WELL RECENTLY REPORT FROM U.K. "Cherry Ripe" Cry Is Heard By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawwa Times LONDON, Eng. --The age-old cry of "Cherry Ripe" is resound- ing through the orchards of Kent in the area southwest of London. The cherrypicking season is in full swing. To those who take part in it, this means much more than just a job with which to earn some extra money. It is a real holiday outing in some re- spects, and with the glorious sunny weather which the south of England is enjoying this year, there are plenty of applicants for the job of picking the luscious cherries from the trees, ready for the markets of London and other cities. The growers report that their harvest will not be as large as in some of the wetter years. Lack of rain has held back the fruiting of the cherry trees. But the crop is still sufficient to keep a motley army of cherry- pickers busy for several weeks, as the different varieties ripen. COME IN CARAVANS Motley is the right word to describe the present generation of cherry-pickers. There are still many bands of gypsies who come to Kent for the cherry season. Their gaily-painted car- avans can be seen nestling un- der the trees in and around the orchard areas. But cherry pick- ing is no longer confined to gypsies. Many families from the cities and towns are joining in, including some professional people. They find in it a pleas- ant and profitable way of spend- ing a holiday. At Sevenscore, near Ramsgate, for instance, alongside the gypsy caravans QUEEN'S PARK Errant Husbands Are Tracked Down By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Deserting hus- bands had better really take it on the lam. If they don't they probably will find themselves facing jus- tice--very soon. The new arm of the Depart- ment of Welfare formed to track down deserters has had its first few weeks of operation. And it has been getting re- sults. The branch has been oper- ating only three weeks. And to date it has been mainly in the Metro Toronto area (to get ex- perience here first before mov- ing out into the province.), RECORD GIVEN In that time here is the rec- ord of the eight-man squad: Cases handled: 280; deserters found: 130; reconciliations: 12; charges laid and still to be heard: 71; arrangements made for support: 47; searches still underway: 150. Among those found who were evading paying 10 were living with common-law wives and one was a bigamist. A number were out of work and jobs were found for some of these. Welfare Minister Cecile was happiest about the reconcilia- tions, of course. But the treasurer will be pleased about another angle. Every deserter who starts paying support means less money the province has to pay out, Support for deserted wives, under either general welfare as- sistance or mothers' allowances now runs to neariy $5,000,000 a year. PRACTICALLY UNSINKABLE They have sailed a bateau from Kingston to Upper Canada Village. This historic craft from early Canadian; days. seems, to 'be. a vessel which is practically un- sinkable but has few other at- tributes. It is slow, wanders around in a wind and requires a lot of effort to make it move. Hon. W. M. Nickle, minister of commerce and development is the minister responsible to the cabinet for Upper Canada Vil- lage and therefore for the ba- teau. A cabinet colleague had quite a twinkle in his eye when he came out with this: "You know," he said, "I don't understand why Bill didn't skip- per that craft himself. It sounds like a job just suited to him." BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Final preparations were made for the official opening of the Rotary swimming pool. Mayor Ernie Marks formally declared the pool open on Wednesday, July 22. mingled and anxiety over a rumor that a sea serpent had been just off shore in the vicinity of the Oshawa pumping station. Theories later advanced gested that a school of carp may have caused that impres- sion. W. M. Robb of Glasgow, Scotland, arrived in Oshawa. He came to this city as an exchange teacher for one year and began teaching English and History at the Oshawa Collegi- ate in September. Mr. Robb was the exchange teacher with Norman McLeod, of Oshawa. F. B. Goedike was appointed to the position of city engineer. new' Public Utilities were installed. Boilers, furnaces and other large appliances forming part of the heating system in the Building Lakefront residents were in a state of amusement seen sug. New sidewalks were construct ed on the west side of Simcoe street north just above Bond street. The Ontario Shore Gas Com- pany, Limited, adopted a policy of laying gas mains on all streets in the city of Oshawa. S. R. Alger pulled a 20-pound muskie from Stoe Lake at Tweed. The big fish measured 44 inches long. V. B. Woodruff, president of the Oshawa Driving Club, was invited by the Speed Trials Com- mittee of the Canadian National Exhibition to act as a judge at the speed trials to be held in Toronto on the occasion of the exhibition. are to be seen trailers drawn by big cars, with the families liv- ing contentedly in them during the picking season. CAN EARN GOOD MONEY The pickers use special lad- ders with an extra wide base for safety, and wear a belt to which a basket is attached. The industrious pickers can earn good money. The rate paid is about 45 cents for a box con- taining about 12 pounds of cher- ries, plus as many free cherries as the pickers can eat. Most pickers can easily pick a box of this size in an hour. But pick- ing, as I have indicated, is a family job, and the cherry orch- ard is one place where it pays to have a large family. One family which has been picking cherries at Sevenscore is typi- cal. The mother and father have been cherry pickers for 35 years. Now they bring with them nine children, ranging from two to 17 years of age. The family has a council house at Ashford, Kent. The ripening of the cherries is the signal for them to lock up their house and move into tents out in the orchard country where they will stay for the rest of the summer. There are other crops, too, to be harvested. After the cherries come the plums. And then the hops will have to be picked. By that time, the fruit will be heavy on the apple trees. So these fruit-pickers have ahead of them a delightful season of outdoor life, with a nice nest- egg at the end of the season to tide them over the winter months. KEPT GOING AUCKLAND, N. Z. (AP)-- Jailed for theft, Albert Simpson went to work willingly when told to sweep the yard in front of the prison. He swept his way along a private road and was recaptured hours later while hiding in a house. OTTAWA REPORT How To Acquire Party Knowledge Patrick Nicholson is on vacation. His guest column. ist today is Douglas M. Fisher, CCF MP for Port Arthur, Ont. OTTAWA~--Do you wish a bet- ter understanding of Canadian politics? If you do, a good starting place is to join a po- litical party. Exact figures are hard to come by, but less than 300,000 Canadians are regular members of any political party. Organizers of each party are aware that party supporters--in terms of party votes at elections --aré much more numerous than this; but Canadians are re- markably hesitant to declare their party or to support it with membership dollars. Let us assume you are a hesi- tant Canadian in this sense, but you want to know politics through other avenues. Try this then. Write to each of the par- ties. All four have headquarters in Ottawa: The National Liberal Federation, the National Pro- gressive Conservative Party, the Social Credit Association of Can- ada, and the New Party Head- quarters. You do not need the street addresses. Ask each party for copies of its constitution, its most recent party platform, and any leaflets supporting either of these, or telling you about the party leaders. When you get the material, read through it; com- pare the structure and aims of the party with each of the oth- ers. Now comes the follow - up chore. Send a money-order for $3 to the Queen's Printer, Ot- tawa. Ask for a session's sub- scription to the Commons Han- sard. Over the session, you will receive some 6,000 pages of re- ports of parliamentary debates. The daily reports, each com- plete in itself, will come regu- rly. Do not try to read them, either all or even in great part. Unless you have a tremendous amount of time, you will bog down. SCAN REPORTS Try scanning the reports, pay- ing most attention to the ques- tions and answers which preface almost every day's proceedings. Look for the speeches of the important people in the House; that is, the party leaders and the senior cabinet ministers. The latter look after the depart: ments of finance, trade and commerce, and external affairs. Keep the party's own principles and platform in mind as you follow these speeches. In a re- markably short time, you will begin to understand the nature of Parliament and have opin- ions on how both parties and in- dividuals perform. When you imagine the speech or the questions, keep one quali- fication in mind. Sometimes a speech that reads well is so dully presented that it makes little impact. Sometimes a question that seems sharp is so dully or INSIDE YOU You Can Fight Heart Failure By BURTON H. FERN, M.D. WHAT IS heart failure? Is it always fatal? No! If your heart muscle can't pump all the oxygen-rich blood your body needs, it's failing to do its job -- heart failure. The harder you work, the more oxygen you need. And the hard- er your heart has to race and pound. Often a weakened heart has to strain to keep up with your resting needs. But it can't pos- sibly pump any more. And so the heart fails and falls behind when you stand or walk. It bottlenecks the circulation, damming blood back to cause swelling and shortnes of breath --swelling in the lungs. Other ailments cause swelling and breathlessness, too. Don't try to diagnose heart failure your- self! KIDNEYS AFFECTED To supply all the oxygen-rich blood your brain needs during heart failure, blood is detoured away from the kidneys. Now salt and water accumulates in your system. You can fight heart failure three ways. HEART'S. BURDEN EASED Resting eases the burden on an overworked heart. Digitalis- drug prescriptions can strength- en every heartbeat. Other medi- cines empty out extra salt and water. So does an empty salt shaker, Occasionally, doctors ease the heart's burden itself. Sur- gery and medicines can slow the thyroid gland until you need hardly any oxygen. Now your heart can keep up withgut over- working. MILD EXERCISE Mild daily exercise may help you h interrupted a great deal by questions or shouted interruptions, you can be sure that the speaker is likely to be outstanding in per- formance or reputation. Watch for the Teastion of min- isters to questions or Sppost: tion attacks. the vague or woolly in his Does he give a soft answer, information, or a harsh answer without detail? Another good check on the quality of a minister can be made when his department's estimates are before the House. The debate is wide-open. Any- one can speak, as often as he wants. More rnment back- benchers are heard. You get a fuller range of pleading for help, praise for performance, nation for failure, and a scatter gun kind of criticism. Some ministers can charm the House or overwhelm the questioners with detail and politeness. Oth- ers slash back or ignore. FINAL TEST Now the final test chore on your understanding. Keep your daily newspaper for a week and, if possible, a file of the same week of another newspaper; preferably, try one like the Tor. onto Globe and Mail or the Win- nipeg Tribune, which carry a lot of Ottawa news. Read through in a fairly light fashion what has transpired in the House, according to the Hansard record. Make your judgments on the quality and importance of the subjects, the speeches, the value of the criticisms and defences. Then compare these impressions with what has been carried in the press and how the reporters have interpreted the things you feel noteworthy. At the end of this process, I would guarantee that you have a good insight into Canadian i politics, the 'spirit and ideas of prevent heart failure. Like a powerful biceps, heart muscle used to heavy loads can easily handle extra work. Yes, you can live for years with heart failure. Just don't fail to check with your doctor ~now! the parties, and the abilities of the major performers. Then you might consider, whether it is not time that you joined a political party, completing a responsibil ity of a good citizen. Of course, you may. become discouraged, with Parliament and with the politicians. As a politician, I would bear this risk. You might, however, feel differently about the reporters. You may feel as do many politicians, that they do not give you in the news- papers the real substance of what has taken place. Opening.
