he Oshavon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Wednesday, August 9, 1961 Changes In Provincial Leadership Significant The retirement of Premier Leslie Frost as leader of the provincial Pro- gressive Conservative party and the election of Premier T. C. Douglas as leader of the New Democratic party are both events of .the greatest polit- feal significance. Mr. Frost has been "Mr. Ontario" just as Mr. Douglas has been "Mr. Saskatchewan." One can only specul- ate how their provincial parties are going to get along without them. Just as there is no one in sight in Ontario with the superb combination of polit- ical savvy, qualities of leadership and untarnished reputation possessed by Mr. Frost, there is no one in Saskatch- ewan with much the same qualities to take the place of Mr. Douglas. These two men have dominated their parties and their provinces. Their opponents may now he able to hope for better times. Mr. Frost has not operated in as spectacular a fashion as Mr. Doug- las--he has not had as wild-eyved a doctrine to preach--and this may have complaint waited ton long for an expression of public opin- » How To Stir Business Week Magazine, quoting from the mythical "Political Hand- book of Young Nations," cites three cardinal rules of action guaranteed to stir up trouble: the that he moved too slowly, contributed to "Pick on the older nations, partic- ularly when they are busy with other problems. Grab what want, swiftly and suddenly, before there's a chance to negotiate. Appeal loudly to world opinion, and if possible play east against west." vou The classic success with application of thes rules was Nasser's seizure of the Suez canal. But the system doesn't always succeed, at least not without trouble. For an example, take Presi- dent Bourguiba of Tunisia. He start- ed what even he now calls a "stupid war" aimed at getting the French out of the Bizerte base and seizing part of the oil rich Saraha, The French reacted violently and with too much force. But Bourguiba had stung them badly. He had al- ways been a patient and reasonable friend of the west. There was a sort ion. But the record of his administra- tion has been, by and large, one of solid accomplishment, despite weak- nesses shown in some departments-- notably municipal affairs. The build- ing of a superb road system, the im- provement in traffic methods and applications (the demerit system, for example), the expansion of the hospital grants program, the institu- tion of hospital insurance, improve- ment in mental health procedures, the growth of a really excellent pro- vincial parks system--these are among the accomplishments of his government. And whatever weak- nesses ministers or departments may revealed, Mr. personal has no blemish. have Frost's reputation Mr. Frost is retiring, but Mr. Doug las, nearly 10 vears vounger, takes on a formidable job, the leadership of a new party. We shall discuss the policies and probabilities of that par- tv in the days to come. Suffice it to gay at nis juncture that we helieve the delegates at the founding conven- tion could not have made a better choice, Up Trouble of gentleman's agreement that French withdrawal would not be negotiated until the Algerian crisis was over, The French were deep in negotiations with the Algerians -- negotiations which have since blown up. dent de Gaulle was also deep in prep- arations for the expected Berlin crisis. Tunisia didn't dislodge the French. It suffered heavy loss of life and prop- Presi- erty. But it has stirred up world opin- ion. The French made things worse by arrogantly snubbing 'both the United Nations and its secretary gen- eral. The Asian-African nations are on the warpath. If the UN assembly meets it will fan old hatreds. In the end the French will be hard put not to hasten their withdrawal. What will Bourguiba gain? Noth- ing that he would not have gotten without bloodshed. But that this hitherto statesmanlike leader should descend to use of the rules of the "Political Handbook of Young Na- tions" is as mystifying as it is dis- couraging.

When a man makes a move such as Premier Frost has he naturally has more than one reason for it. Age, health, the desire to re- lax and many other factors en- ter into consideration. But the deciding question in the case of his retirement prob- ably is summed up in one sen- tence in his letter of resigna- tion "1 am firmly of the opinion that in the interests of our party . . . a change of leader- ship at a time when the party is in power, when it is strong and when ils prospects are bright, is indicated by every reasonable consideration." PARTY FAITHFUL That is the party man speak ng And when Mr. Frost has spoken the party has always heen important in his words He has many times said that he has considered his position as party leader, as well as pre mier, as a trust And the words have not heen idle-as they could be with so many But he also has been just as able a leader of his party Several times in recent vears he has considered retirement And when he decided the time had arrived the most import ant consideration probably was that it was right for the party For one thing he himself had taken over office when the party was powerfnl and pros- perous. Yet he had strong memories of the great struggle to bring it hack in the thirties after it had fallen behind. He did not want to see that happen again. So he decided to turn over his trust, still healthy and perhaps in even better shape than when he took it on. HELPS FEDERAL So far as the actual timing is concerned the important factor probably was the prospective federal election It is significant that Mr. Frost had two meetings with Prime Minister Diefenbaker in July If there were to be a federal election this fall it could have been almost fatal for him to re- sign beforehand But if the election were put off until spring the party in On- tario could take new energy from a vigorous new leader It is now being assumed that the national election will not be held until spring And Mr. Frost's course could have been one of the important reasons why it is being held off It has been known here for some time that strong Diefen baker men in the provincial field have been pressing for an early convention And on this point the pre mier presumably conceded REPORT FROM U.K. U.S. Regulations Cutting Into Sales By M. McINTYRE HOOD "wecial London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON The closing down of United States air bases in the United Kingdom, which I re- ported recently, is only one of being dealt at British business by the tightening of the American purse-sirings on this side of the Atlantic. It has been estimated that British firms stand to lose sales worth about $35,000,000 a year because of ne American lations 1 gulations I down on the sale of British goods in the U.S. Army and Air Force Post Exchanges, which corre- spond to the Navy, Air Force and Army Institute in the Brit ish forces and the Maple Leaf Stores in the Canadian army, navy and air force And as if to rub salt into the wounds inflicted on British busi- ness, a new American {rade centre has been opened in St. James Street by the U.S ernment, as a show which to display goods they wish II to the United King dom » blows 0 se v business man pul ions this way absolute nonsense. In one breath they are saying 'Please buy from us' and in the next 'We won't buy from you'." TO HELP BALANCE These conditions came into being about the end of last year, when the United States govern ment, under President Eisen hower. began a large-scale drive to cut dollar spending in overseas countries to help the INSIDE YOU country's balance of pay- ments. This was applied to spending not only in Britain, but also for American bases in Ger- many. Orders which British firms had been securing from the American forces buying offices in Wisbaden and Nurem- berg were almost immediately dried up Some of these orders were for appreciable sums of money. They involved toys worth $140.- 000, gramophone records worth $1.600.000, shoes, $300,000, shirts $850,000 and large quantities of everything from shoe polish to blankets, socks and candies. All of these orders abruptly came to an end PROTESTS MADE This change of U.S. policy has not been taken quietly by Brit ish business interests. Protests to the Board of Trade and MP's were immediate and vigorous. One firm which took the mat- ter up direct with the U.S. au- thorities was the Dunlop Rubber Company, which had been doing a big business in golf and ten- nis balls and tennis rackets with the Post Exchanges. A North- ampton firm of shoemakers has also been badly hit. It sold thou- sands of pairs of civilian shoes to American servicemen through the PX. Inquiry at the United States IXmbassy in London brought a statement that it had not as yet received any indication of a change in policy from that initi- ated by Eisenhower. But the F.mbassy spokesman, in a more hopeful tone, said "The matter is being studied continuously." When Exercises Weaken Muscles By BURTON H. FERN, M.D. IMAGINE exercise actually weakening your muscles! If this should happen to you, microscopic examination of a tiny nubbin of muscle will show that you suffer from myas- thenia gravis -- muscles that weaken into paralysis when they're used Normally manufac- ture chemical "A" to trigger muscle action, Another chemi- cal, Killer C, destroys the A substance. Nature. provides a chemical policeman "P" to guard A against Killer C. In myasthenia gravis (Mg), muscles weaken because Killer C steps out of line A poor bodyguard, Policeman P may forget to keep Killer C from destroying too much A. Or per haps the nerve counterfeits A well enough to stir up C's killer instinct but not well enough to trigger muscle reaction! HOW IT nerves DEVELOPS At first, muscles seem strong With work, Killer C destroys more and more A, leaving mus- cles weak and tired. Eventually, so little A remains that the muscles can't work at all Rest often restores strength, but muscles when they're used again MG first strikes tiny muscles around the eye. Your lid droops and you see double. Your face turns into a wax-like mask with a snarling mouth as facial mus- cles weaken. You can't count to 50 without becoming hoarse An ihjection of extra P-sub stance temporarily fills muscles with new vigor These kelp pinpnint and treat thenia sufferers full weaken shots mya The illness may wax and wane for years. Colds and ner- vous tension worsen weakness, but expectant mothers find new strength until baby arrives. STARTING POINT MG often begins in the shadow of an enlarged thymus gland just behind the breast- bone. Here, one swish of the surgeon's scalpel may remove the enlarged gland and: streng- then myasthenia muscles. Per- haps a thymus hormone (chem- ical) keeps Policeman P from guarding A, leaving Killer C un- checked. While cortisone - like drugs sometimes help, a doctor will prescribe pills containing a P- like chemical. These pills can check MG until scientists search out their true cause and cure. Their timetable calls for suc- cess within the next 10 years! BYGONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO The Ontario Regiment, under the command of Lt.-Col. R. B. Smith, arrived home from their summer camp al Niagara-on- the Lake. They captured the coveted 'Sports Trophy' em- blematic of the brigade cham- pionship.
