The Oshara Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Friday, August 11, 1961 Still Difficult To Cast Strong Vote The New Democratic party got off to a good start at its founding conven- tion in Ottawa last week. There was &n enormous amount of enthusiasm, a considerable amount of shrewd political thinking and clear evidence that this successor to the CCF will not suffer from the party's chief ailment, finan- cial anemia. What did not emerge from the convention, however, was a clear image of the party itself. Several policies were announced, but no fundamental doctrine was defined. And this, probably, was by design and not by accident. There were enough clear thinking men at the con- vention to provide the definition, had they so wished. But there were also plenty of tough realists, particularly a- mong the labor union delegates. They understand one of the main facts of po- litical life in Canada today: It does not pay to be too specific about doctrine; the Liberals did not gain power by stressing the doctrine of Liberalism, nor did the Conservatives by expounding the Of Dissent philosophy of Conservatism; and a party of the far left has no more chance of gaining power in Canada than does a party of the far right. Mr. Diefenbaker has defined the issue of the next federal election as be- ing "free enterprise versus socialism." Mr. Douglas has accepted the challenge. But it would be strange indeed if that turned out to be the big issue. The New Democratic party of the Ottawa con- vention is not very far to the left, and the Progressive Conservative party of Mr Diefenbaker is certainly not all to the right. Indeed, +he Liberal party, if it follows some of the paths indicated at last year's brainstorming session in Kingston, might turn out to be the far- thest to the left of the lot. The big fight in the next election could well be be- tween Mr. Pearson and Mr. Douglas for the Liberal vote, with both taking some support from disenchanted follow- ers of Mr. Diefenbaker. And that is the pity of the present political situation in Canada. How does one cast a real vote of dissent? Absorption Of Children Too little attention has been paid in the West to one of Mr. Khrushchev's most far-reaching orders at the 21st Party Congress: to step up the Soviet state school boarding program, the Christian Science Monitor argues. This, he implied, would be heavily relied on for ushering in the long-awaited total Communist society. The road to such early absorption of the child into the purposes of the state, long a dream of theorists, was actually embarked on in 1956. At present, according to the deputy director of the American Central In- telligence Agency, there about a million Soviet children enrolled in the program. Mr. Khrushchev told his party col- leagues that by 1965 he planned to con- struct enough new boarding schools to house 2,500,000 children. "The future," he added, "presents the possibility of training all children in the boarding schools." Obviously, First Secretary Khrushchev is not going to let doting family man Khrushchev stand in his way. In one basic respect this move is simply a more sophisticated version of what was sought in the creation of the Chinese communes. It would broadly replace the influence and interests of the family with those of the state. The na- tural conservativeness of the family process of training--one which holds on to the good old ways of doing things until new ways are triply proven-- is quite evidently a stumbling block for the kind of experimentation Messrs, Concessions Municipal tax concessions as an inducement to industry are going rapid- ly out of fashion--for sound reasons -- according to a booklet published joint- ly today by the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities and: the Institute of Public Affairs of Dalhousie University. Such concessions went out of favor a long time ago. The author, Stewart Fyfe, a po- litical scientist of Queen's University, concludes from Canadian experience that hye Oshawa Times T. L.

Soviet statistician and planner Stanis- lav Strumilin states the aim clearly: "a children's collective, when directed by an experienced pedagogue, is incompar- ably better equipped to give the great- est indoctrination to the child with the best social habits than the most loving and attentive mothers." Mr. Khrushchev points out that more mothers then would be free to become active in build- ing communism. To some extent, Western parents recognize the validity of not letting the family dominate a growing child's in- dividuality. But centuries of experiment- ation in all kinds of civilizations indicate the dangers of what the Soviets now seem bent on doing. For the leaders of the state, par- ticularly power-bent ones, are not good substitute "parents." Experience shows that they will force teaching to fit their aims in the world, not to fit objective knowledge of the world. This is the ex- act opposite of that educative ideal, to teach openmindedness about possibil- ities, toughmindedness about evidence. It is probable that the long battle a- head will be like the previous great clashes between conflicting civilizations, An ideology jerry-built to fit both so- cial change and power ambitions will not be seriously questioned by its own youthful adherents until it passes its zenith and fails to prove it can answer all questions. Declinin tax concessions are a minor, if not a negligible factor, in influencing indus- trial executives whe know their business. More important is the ability of the municipality to provide and administer municipal services; and tax concessions may limit that ability. Related to this is the productivity of labor which in turn depenls on good schools, good hous- ing and good recreational facilities. Far- sighted industries and farsighted muni- cipalities can together bring these con- ditions into existence. Reviewing in some detail the legis- lation and practices in nine of Canada's provinces (all but PEL), the Fyfe booklet shows a marked tendency to limit or prohibit the use of tax con- cessions. The Province of Ontario, for example, has recently rescinded -- at the request of the municipalities them- sélves -- the law permitting "fixed assessments", Quebec has for 20 years prohibited tax exemptions, fixed valu- ations or loans for industry, except occasionally by private acts, but its present government has announced that no more such private bills would be passed.

OTTAWA REPORT Pioneer Village Attracts Crowds By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--An estimated 250,. 000 tourists and children have poured through the toll-gate in the seven weeks since Upper Canada Village was officially opened.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The Ministry of Works has lost in a battle with the National Trust, which is charged with the care of histor- ical monuments, in its plans to improve the facilities and amen- ities for the crowds of visitors who every day during the sum- mer season make a pilgrimage to the ancient ring of stones at tonehenge.

There is one man who for a ber of r more than any other--deserves to succeed Premier Frost. He is Provincial Treasurer James Allan. A loyal party man, an exceptional administrator, a trusted right-hand to Mr. Frost who never was given, or sought, proper credit, an outstanding and dedicated servant of the public, He merits both the honor and the achievement of the premier- ship. But it is not likely he will get it. And he most probably has been killed by Mr. Frost himself --through a loyalty to party which outweighs loyalty to any one man. INSIDE YOU Thick Neck Cord Can Twist Head By BURTON H. FERN, MD Joe had to sit sideways when he drove his car! Other-wise, he couldn't look straight ahead. He had "'torticollis"', a wry or twisted neck. His left sterno- mastoid muscle -- that thick cord which runs from your col- larbone and breast bone to the mastoid behind the ear -- had shortened or tightened. Like the string on a top, this muscle tilts the head sideways and turns toward the opposite side. When the pull doesn't let up, you have torticollis. Inflammation and infection around the muscle even swollen glands ~~ may trigger head-tilting muscle spasm. Old bruises and healed infections often leave scars that shrink sternomastoid muscles perman- ently. Most torticollis strikes chil- dren. Some of that howling in the delivery room stems from bruised sternomastoid muscles. PRE-NATAL HAZARD Crowded living conditions be- fore birth may force Baby's head to tilt and turn. At birth, one sternomastoid is shorter than the thumb, while the other stretches longer than the foot. Because the twisted neck kinks blood vessels bringing vital nourishment, one side of Baby's face may grow faster than the other. The face evens out when the neck straightens up. A shirvelled sternomastoid sometimes lifts the shoulder, tilting the trunk and curving the spine. But no matter how severe, a wry neck can always be bent forwards or backwards. Soothing heat eases the pain and relaxes muscle spasm. Now you can massage and stretch those tight, tilting fibers. A weak, extra-long sternomastoid ARTIST DIES MOSCOW (AP)--Pavel Soko- lov-Skalya, a member of the Soviet Academy of Arts, died Thursday, the official Soviet news agency Tass announced. Sokolov-Skalya held the honor- ary titles of People's Artist of the Russian Federation and of Stalin Prize Laureate. His age wasenot given. on the opposite side needs plenty of exercise to shorten and strengthen it. Aspirins and muscle - relaxing prescriptions help, too. SURGICAL TREATMENT Besides home treatment, the surgeon can stretch or cut the tight muscle while you sleep peacefully. But you'll need a cast or collar to Sanforize the new scar against shrinkage as the operation heals. Joe's cured. Even though he's still hot-tempered, he can once again keep a level head most of the time! The premier could probably name his successor with great ease. His party prestige is such that a nod from him would be re- spected by the majority of con- vention delegates. He indicates he will not be giving such a nod. Rather he jhas indirectly indi- cated what -- and who -- he doesn't want. LETTER SPEAKS This can be taken from his official letter of resignation as party leader. There was a very noticeable choice of words in this letter. Particularly prominent was the word "vigorous." It was used more than once. And it obviously expressed the key to Mr. Frost's thoughts on his party--that it should get new "'vigor." MEANS "YOUTH" This could be enough to sink Mr. Allan--if, despite it, he de- cides to run. He, at 66, is a year older than Mr. Frost. He is, however, still a most vigorous man. But that will not weigh now with many of the delegates. The message they will take from Mr. Frost is that he wants youth--for to them, youth ex- presses "vigor." The message, in fact, is al ready being taken around here. STILL CHANCE In spite of this Mr. Allan might still take the honors. He is tremendously popular all through the party. And, what's more he is respected. Respected and trusted--party supporters would feel with him somewhat the same security they have felt with Mr. Frost. But he starts off faced with a big obstacle. It might, in fact, be too much, in his opinion, to even tackle, GALLUP POLL Public Endorses Idea Canadian Peace Corps By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Canadians who know some- thing of the Peace Corps pro- posal as developed by President Kennedy, think it would be a fine thing for this country to embark on a similar proposal. Almost nine in ten of those who know something about it believe that Canada should develop a similar Peace Corps in which young men and women volun- teer to work in under-developed countries at a nominal salary. However, news of the pro- gram has not penetrated the provinces very deeply. Only 38 per cent of the adult population has read or heard anything about it exactly half the proportion who knew about the recent battle between the Gov- ernment and the ex-Governor of th Bank of Canada, Mr. James Coyne. To check on Canada's re- action to the Peace Corps plan, interviewers for the Gallup Poll went to homes in every prov- ince representing a national sample of the public as a whole, to ask three questions: "DO YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE HEARD OF MR. KEN- NEDY'S PEACE CORPS IN WHICH YOUNG PEOPLE VOLUNTEER TO WORK IN UNDER - DEVELOPED COUN- TRIES?" Pet. 62 100 The four in 'ten who knew something of the plan were asked: "DO. YOU THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA, OR NOT A GOOD IDEA FOR CANADA TO EMBARK ON A SIMILAR PLAN?" Yes No Yes, a good idea . Not a good idea Can't s8Y c..iessssvviess 1 100 The very small segment of the population which objects to the thought of Canada carrying out the same type of assistance do so because they believe that there is too much to be done at home, and that the nation's young people are needed here-- not in foreign countries. Others say, '"We should let those countries work out their own problems and not force our own ideas on them." About one in ten of those who object do so because '"'we shouldn't be copy- cats." About the same number feel that when the U.S. program has 'been evaluated, Canada should then decide on its own plan.

Briefly stated it is a Movement for boys, started by the late Lord Baden Powell of Gilwell, which seeks to develop and fix in boys the fundamentals of good citizen- "integrity, dependability, tolerance, good sportsmanship and rqualities of character based upon the foundation of the scout's initial promise to "Do my best, to do my duty to God". It not only seeks to de- velop character, but also to foster a sense of and a desire for knowledge, sound physical and mental habits, a proper social sense, initiative and leadership ability. so designed that, unknown to the boy these attributes are being constantly fostered by careful leadership. By doing and by having a code of conduct which is expected of a Scout because he is a Scout; by developing hobby interests through a sys- tem of proficiency badges; by using games, hikes, and adventure to stimulate alertness, keen observation and attitudes; by catering to a system of Patrols within development of initiative ond self-confidence, thoughtfulness and generally the ability to get along with others, these are the tools which Scouting uses to accomplish its purpose.
