The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 6 Wednesday, July 26, 1961 Another Test Required Of Sunday Laundry Use Too much confusion exists about the operation on Sunday of coin-operated laundries. A recent ruling df the Supreme Court of Canada in an appeal case from Ontario has apparently made the use of the laundry machines on Sunday illegal throughout the land -- but t 1s up to the provincial authorities to decide whether or not the laundries wili be prosecuted, and while one attorney-gen- eral says charges will be laid another says nothing will be done to interfere with the laundry operation. What is needed is another test case, because the Supreme Court ruling was simply on one point of law. The On- tario case, as reported in Canadian Labor Law Reports, involved an appeal by a Sarnia man, operator of two coin laundries, against a conviction under the Lord's Day Act. He argued that he was not 'carrying on the business of his ordinary calling" on Sunday and there- fore his conduct of permitting his two establishments to remain open could not be a violation of the Act. His argument that he did not enter the premises to repair the machines, clean them or collect money from them on Sundays was rejected by the Court and his ap- peal was dismissed. But last year in Alberta court allowed an appeal by an Edmonton operator from a conviction on an identical charge. The court in this case gave a broad interpretation of the Act. The Edmon- ton operator defended his conduct bv calling it a "work of necessity or mercy" --work permitted by the Act. The Alberta judge took the view that Parlia- ment, when it passed the Lord's Day Act in 1906, had classified the work of domestic servants as "work of necessity", and on this premise he found that the operation of coin-operated washing ma- chines and driers on Sunday should also be deemed a work of necessity. He allowed the appeal. As a result of the conflicting judg- ments, the law is not clear. If the On- tario operator had followed the example of his Edmonton counterpart, the Sup- reme Court of Canada might have thought as the Alberta judge did, but of course one can only surmise -- until the plea is heard by the Court, Objective Difficulties A trenchant criticism of "objective" examination questions was made by Walter Pitman, the New Party member for Peterborough. Writing in his city's fine paper, The Examiner, he tells of be- ing "appalled at the very first question on the objective section" of Grade XIII history examination. The student had to choose one of the explanations of a preliminary statement: "The object of Hamilton's National Bank was: 1, to reward the "Corrupt Squadron"; 2, to provide a stable finan- cial system; 3, to extend the powers of the central government by making use of the elastic clause; 4, to take over the debts of the States." Mr. Pitman points out that "the question is complicated by the fact that only one of the available answers may be selected when indeed the National Bank performed all four of these alter- natives and the selection must be based on whose opinion of the 'object' one con- siders most valid. Indeed, the rich friends of Mr. Hamilton known as the 'corrupt squadron' did benefit by the sudden rise in the value of American government bonds . . . On the other hand, historians writing with the long view would un- doubtedly state that the second answer is a valid one and that the other two have great justification. But the student must make the 'correct completion' as though all the others are in error." Mr. Pitman shows his political matu- rity: "Now if I have learned anything in the last few months it has been one rather obvious fact about politics --, the complexity of human motives. In this realm men rarely have one 'object' or purpose completely barring other con- siderations. To suggests this is the height of immaturity and naivete. Yet, here on the senior examination of our second- ary schools we have this very kind of dangerously inadequate thinking en- couraged." He concludes that "objective testing in history has implications which are most unfortunate. These young people will have even more confusing problems to deal with. There will be more numerous facets to every situation and it is for us to train flexible minds which will search and weigh all aspects of a problem if they are going to be prepared for the kind eof world we live » in. Common Market Debate The expected protests from Common- wealth countries about the suggestion that Britain might join the Euro- pean Common Market are all The last act of this drama is about to be played. Prime Minister Macmillan will announce British policy Aug. 31, and the Commonwealth finance minis- ters will gather Sept. 12 to get the bad news. The protests were even more Vvigor- ols than 'was "expected. They were «uns expected only in the sense that the stronger protests came from the ccun- tries which are less likely to be seriously hurt. The mildest came from New Zealand which sells 89 per cent of its butter, 94 per cent of its cheese and 94 per cent of its frozen lamb ard mut- ton to the United Kingdom. This is a real problem, difficult to solve. But Mr. Sandys, the British emisary, Fhe Oshawa Times 1. L. WILSON, Publisher end Genersl Manager €. GWYN KINSEY Editer in.

Australia's Menzies remarked of the political background of Common Market thinking: "We hardly need to be persuaded that it has great importance, but we simply record our view that this will lead to a loosening of Commonwealth relations. That may be a price worth paying for the European association. I am not endeavoring to sit in judgment oni that." In Ottawa Canadian ministers for- mally expressed "grave concern" but did not specify whether that concern was primarily economic or political in con- tent. This is a point which the Govern- ment should make clear. The Montreal Star asks : Is it possible loss of markets or of preferences which disturbs Mr. Diefenbaker and his colleagues? Or is it fear lest the economic aims of the Common Market will in due course be submerged in the larger question of European political unity? The British Foreign Secretary, Lord Home, told the House of Lords last month that, in the face of the Com- munist threat, unity between Europe and Britain was "vital for the survival of the free world." If that represents the considered view of the Macmillan Government, the argument is all over. Where does that leave the "Common- wealth ties" which Mr. Menies claims will be loosened? If we only knew exactly what those ties are, the question would be easier to answer. Other Editor's Views VICTORIOUS VICARS (Liege Gazette) The Frotey football tournament was won by an unknown team wearing the initials V.S.A. on their uniforms. Report- ers who visited the dressing room were surprised to find the players donning religious garments. The initials stand for Vicars Sporting Association.

Liberal Member's Show Of Courage Patrick Nicholson is on va- cation. His guest columnist today is Dr. P. B. Rynard, Conservative MP for Sim- coe East, Ontario. OTTAWA--ILet me say what a great pleasure if is to write a column for the Thomson newspapers. It is a pleasure for two reasons: first, because I know Mr. Thomson--and have known him for a good many years. I knew him when he was selling radios in Northern On- fario, 30 years ago. Since that time, he has climbed the ladder and built himself an empire in newspaper, radio and television fields. In spite of it all, he has still remained the same person- able fellow, always ready to help, always recalling old friends and acquaintances wher- ever he meets them. Second, 1 think Mr. Thomson picked a great observer in Pat Nicholson. Pat writes as he sees it--he doesn't like "flim flam"; he likes to strike a good blow for honesty and fairness with no punches pulled. Today, I should like to write about one of the younger mem- bers of parliament -- a young Liberal, representing the riding of the far Northwest --- a bush pilot--a man who represents a INSIDE YOU Live Vaccines territory streiching for hundreds of miles over the frozen north, who visits his constituents by flying to them; a man who knows and loves the north and its people, a man who has tried to represent his area to the best of his ability. THINGS WENT WRONG A little over a year ago. he was in good health; then things started to go wrong. In hospital for a time, then out and then back in and out again, Mr Hardie returned to the House the other day; all members ap- plauded loudly and this is what he said in reply . "I want to thank you, Mr. Speaker, and through you, the prime minister, the leader of the Liberal party, the leader of the CCF and all other members of the House and their wives for what they have done for me and my family over the past few months, T am sure it had a great deal to do with my being here. , . ."

While Salk vaccine contains killed polio germs, live vaccine contains millions of tamed polio viruses, trained never to cause The live vaccine idea ack' to those firsb-smails pox vaccinations just after Washington carried all 13 states.

You gulp down live polio shots in capsules or liquid just like vitamins, BUNCH OF TIGERS But the Public Health Service had fo be certain that the new vaccine was more than half safe before allowing it to be used If tamed viruses changed back into savage paralyzing germs, we'd be letting tigers loose in our own backyard. Tamed polio viruses spread just like the paralyzing kind. One vaccination may spread to hundreds of others. Even though five million people were safely vaccinated, delinquent viruses may not have shown up. Most of these millions lived where poor sanitation guaran- tees every child mild usually nonparalvtic polio And so they grow into immune adults who can wall off the heginnings of any polio epidemic. STILL VULNERABLE Tamed viruses could have broken training without anyone knowing! With our white - tiled sanitation, millions of adults grow up still vulnerable to polio's paralysis. Unsafe live vaccine might trigger--not pre vent--polio epidemics, Finally, live vaccine was prov- en sale and effective. In ons trial town, it prevented all polio --vaccinated persons vaccinated their unvaccinated friends But all this came too late for 1961, That's why you now need Salk shots -- all four of them!

Mr. Hardie said he would like that i very much. If she had that kind of faith in prayer, he wanted to be on her list, too. Mr. Hardie sat down and an- member replied, saying how everyone had admired Mr. Hardie's courage and his fight against illness and we all hoped he would soon be fully restored to health. When that day came, they would again criticize where criticism was necessary.
