She Oshawa Cines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1961 -- PAGE 6 Ghana Becomes Problem For Commonwealth Club Still more restrictive laws have been passed in Ghana, where President Nkru- mah, trying to survive a political crisis, is relying more and more openly on authoritarian methods. Ghana pressed for the expulsion of South Africa from the Commonwealth. What should other: members of the Commonwealth now do about Ghana? Protest, or look the other way and pre- tend that they have noticed nothing? As the London Observer recently pointed out, there are no rules or qualifications for membership of the Commonwealth. The club already in- cludes one country, Pakistan, which is a dictatorship although not totalitarian. And Pakistan is unlikely to remain the only one of its kind in the club, since democracy is difficult to achieve and still more difficult to maintain -- it is, indeed, a rather rare phenomenon. It would be absurd to expect the newly emerging nations of Asia and Africa to adopt easily and at once a method of government which took several centuries to develop in Britain and which many European nations have never achieved at all. One cannot even assume that parliamentary government will be their aim; some at least may choose some kind of authoritarian regime as more suitable to their needs. Yet it cannot be denied that some kind of moral and political standards are im- plied in Commonwealth membership. If this were not so, South Africa would not have been forced to resign. It is true that South Africa had not only flagrantly violated the principle of racial toleration but had made this violation the basic policy of government. But if one member can break the bounds of Commonwealth principle ,then at least there must be bounds to be broken. If the Commonwealth depends partly on sentiment, this sentiment could not survive if many of is members were to abandon all pretence of democratic behavior. Whether the Commonwealth could. survive under these conditions is questionable. Crackdown On Hunters Outdoors sportsmen banded together in fish and game associations are being driven more and more to leasing streams and hunting areas for their own mem- bers. At the same time, game farms are on the increase in Ontario. These developments come at a time when record numbers of men carrying guns are going into the countryside ostensibly for the purpose of hunting game. The trouble is, of course, that far too many of these gunbearers are neither hunters nor sportsmen. They are, instead, van- dals and killers, and the true sportsmen are made to pay for their depredations. Here is what a Toronto outdoors columnist had to say a few days ago: "More and more townships are shutting their gates to hunters, a process which could stop all hunting in rural southern Ontario. Municipalities have no right to ban hunting, but they have the power to ban the discharge of firearms... This is just more evidence that hunting can be stopped if hunters do not respect private property and fail to act like sportsmen." "g Propaganda Government information officers, or the chaps who write the reams of press releases that come from the offices and departments of government at Ottawa, made representations by way of a brief to the Glass¢co Commission, in which they drew attention to the fact that "information services" were being misused by cabinet ministers. They stated in their brief that cabinet ministers appear to regard the information ser- vices "as a kind of personal secretariat available to write their speeches, circu- late their photographs and carry out press publicity for them whenever they appear in public." In other words the Information Ser- vices personnel are not merely giving the public factual information about the activities of government, but political propagandizing for the ministers. The Glassco Commission, was assigned last fall by the Prime Minister to study Ghe Oshawa Zimes T. L. WILSON, Publisher and Genera! Manager Cc.

The Port Arthur News-Chronicle com- mented editorially last week: "Alarm bells should be ringing for thousands of sensible hunters and fishermen in this area and for promoters of tourist trade who are vitally interested in assuring that our hinterland sections are open to our visitors . . . Officials of timber firms have become completely fed up with innumerable instances of vandalism involving valuable property, and with many cases of outright theft .. The huge area known as the Black Sturgeon was closed to all hunting up until a few years ago and it was only after long and persistent efforts by fish and game groups that timber firms were prevailed upon to lift the ban." The hope for reversal of this trend seems to lie with the fish and game clubs and the provincial organization, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters. The members of these organiza- tions, which have done so much good educational work in the past, can in- crease their efforts and also act as un- paid wardens, in many cases. At Ottawa and report on all aspects of government operations with a view to producing re- commendations leading to increased effi- ciency and economy. Recently a pre liminary report was presented to the government and a second report is ex- pected "shortly", according to the Prime Minister. Commenting on the brief from the government information officers, the Ottawa Citizen, says there is no doubt that some cabinet ministers sometimes make personal or partisan use of the government's information personnel and equipment. The temptation to do so is strong. But government information ser- vices are maintained by the entire Canadian community on behalf of all the taxpayers whose money supports these facilities, it is misuse of the gov- ernment information service to distribute a report on, say, a new park or new agricultural program, and at the same time smuggle in a photograph of the minister concerned, and a few felicitous remarks about his unbounded devotion to the voters. The public is not interested in spend- ing money in order to learn of the virtues of politicians. Let politicians spend their own and their party's money when sell- ing political wares. Publicly financed information services should be concerned entirely with the work of the govern- ment, and not of any individual politician or party. Other Editors' Views NOR IRON BARS (Lethbridge Herald) Security is not the prime considera- tion in the-detention of most prisoners. Sooner or later they will be released, and the hope is that they will "go straight" and not come back to prison. Too great an emphasis on security while they are in prison could defeat the main purpose of their imprisonment, which is reform. NEW NATIONS' te Beton -- MODEL REPORT FROM U.K. No Increase Seen In Price Of Coal By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON--British consumers of coal can look forward to having no increase in prices of coal at the pithead for the next four years. That is the pledge which Lord Robens has given to British industry, and to the large users of coal -- the elec- tricity and gas plants of the- country. He added that any in- crease in coal prices would finish Britain in the markets where she needs to hold on to trade, The announcement made by the chairman of the Nation- al Coal Board was hailed with delight by' industry' generally. OF A SECRETARY-GENERAL GALLUP POLL Few Foresee Survival In Major Nuclear War By The Canadian Institute Of Public Opinion Most men and women face the grim fact that they'd be among the casualties if we should ever get into a nuclear war. Only six in a hundred Canadians, averaging the viewpoint of those who live in every part of the country, believe they might have a good chance of survival. The big majority -- 60 per cent don't think they would live through it; another 30 per cent believe it might be a 50-50 hope for them. This fatalistic point of view has been reported in other stud- ies by the Gallup Poll showing for one thing, that. people, as a whole, have no idea as to what they would do in the event of a nuclear war except "head for the basement" or "'try to get underground somewhere".

World Copyright Reserved BOOK REVIEW Social Criticism Aimed At Patchwork Approach By THE CANADIAN PRESS Books of Canadian social criti- cism are rare and tend, when they do appear, to concentrate on specific problems. Social Purpose for Canada (University of Toronto Press), with 17 contributors, is a com- prehensive survey. The title is a clear statement of the aim of the book, which is to offer an orderly course as an alternative to a future of haphazard growth. The authors, drawn primarily from the faculties of Canadian universities, share a left-of-cen- tre viewpoint but it would he wrong to assume that the book is merely a restatement of the policies of the doctrinaire left. Michael Oliver, a_ political scientist at McGill University and the book's editor, writes that little attempt was made to impose any editorial uniformity on the contributors; they spean primarily as individuals. RIGHT TO GOOD LIFE The first essay, by George Grant, formerly head of the philosophy department of Dal- housie University, Halifax, and now at McMaster in Hamilton, offers a basic premise. He says that with the tech- nology and resources at our disposal, a human being in Canada should be able to live a comfortable and satisfying life through reasonable hours of work, but that our society has not been an unqualified success in meeting this ideal. Prof. H. Scott Gordon of Ot- tawa's Carleton University re- jects the idea that we must de- velop industry to process all our natural resources; that we would be wealthier if we ceased to be "hewers of wood and drawers of water." "Hewers of wood and draw- ers of water can be very healthy -- provided they are ef- ficient hewers and drawers and they charge enough for their wood and water." Despite increasing industria!- ization, he says, Canada will be exporting raw or semi-processed materials for many years. Much of this trade was from American subsidiary to American parent firm so "we have some special need to see that we do not come out on the short end of the bar- gain." PATCHWORK APPROACH Other essays range from a Utopian concept of education to the problems of the British Col- umbia salmon fisheries. But whether speaking of education, economics or social welfare, there is an almost universal condemnation of what is re- garded as Canada's patchwork approach to its problems. The professors maintain that if Canada is to have a satisfac- tory development it cannot con- tinue with the public sector of the economy being used only to cover the inadequacies of the nrivate sector; that the govern- ment must be the architect, not merely the repairman of. the economy. + And if Social Purpose for Can- ada does nothing else, it should at least help dispel the notion that books of this nature are in- evitably dull. The contribution Cana- dian universities might make to greater understanding of the dual culture of Canada is discussed by Jean-Charles Falardeau in Roots and Val- ues in Canadian Lives (Uni- versity of Toronto. Press). Based on the Plaunt Mem- orial Lectures he delivered at 'Carleton University, Ot- tawa, in 1960, the theme is that Canada has been and remains the result of con- stant compromise. Patterns and objectives had to be constantly redefined and im- provised,, with both parties in the dualism collaborating to create a well-tempered, yet positive, national life, Prof, Falardeau is chairman of the sociological depart- ment at Laval University, BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO E, Parks was elected presi- dent and J. H. Thomson, secre- tary of the Oshawa Humane Society. Rev. Dr. W. P. Fletcher, pastor of the Christian Church, who attended the Christian Church Conference at Urbana, Ill., was re-elected to the board of foreign missions for a four- year term. At the Board of Health meet- ing, Miss B. E. Harris, public health nurse, gave her report cn the city's health problems. She said there were 55 com- municable diseases in the city A at that time with chickenpox leading the list with 39 cases. W. E. N. Sinclair was unani- mously chosen Liberal candi- date for South Ontario in the provincial election. Building permits for the first 10 months of 1926 totalled $934,000 which showed a mark- ed improvement over the same period last year of $576,205. Announcement was made that construction would be started on a new hotel -- the present Hotel Genosha -- to be four stories high with 50 rooms, cost- ing approximately $150,000 ac- cording to Toronto backers. Lord Robens was speaking to colliery officials at Whiteley Eay in Northumberland when he made the announcement. He said: "It is essential that we main- tain relative stability of prices. 1 do not expect to see in my term of office (which has an- other four years to run) an- other general increase in price --the sort of thing we had in September of last year." HAD WIDE EFFECT The increase in coal prices made then had widespread ef- fects. It was quickly followed by higher prices for steel, gas end electricity. Lord Robens has. already stressed to miners' leaders that INSIDE YOU Doctor Answers Readers' Queries By BURTON H. FERN, MD Q.: WHY DO expectant moth- ers need extra vitamins and minerals? A.: Before Baby is born, one fertilized cell has to mushroom into millions. Never again. will he grow so fast! He needs vitamins and min- erals so much, he'll rob Mom's supply if necessary. Prenatal vitamin and mineral capsules insure against any shortage. Q.: How does vitamin A help night blindness? A.: Vitamin A is part of a special light-sensitive chemical inside the eye. Without this cheniical you can't see dimly-lit objects; you need brilliant sun- light! HOW THEY CURED IT Ancient fishermen used to chew codfish or seagull livers to cure night blindness over- night! Q.: What plants contain vita- min A? A.: Practically none! But dark greens, orange carrots and yellow vegetables are all chock- full of yellowish carotene which your liver changes into vitamin COLORS COW'S MILK Because Jersey cows lack this ability, carotene pours out to color their milk rich golden yellow. Q.: Why does babies need extra vitamin drops? A.: Most newborns eat only milk and sugar formulas. Be- cause ordinary milk lacks vita- mins C and D, scurvy used to kill millions of babies, . while rickets maimed millions more. Vitamin C prevents scurvy; vitamin D protects against rickets. Other vitamins are sometimes included in baby drops, "just in case." VARICOSE VEINS Q.: Does vitamin E help vari- cose veins? How much should I take? A.: Filled with vitamin E, varicose veins merely bulge more. So far, no one can prove that humans need vitamin E. In vitamin pills it merely calms worry-warts! K.: Are millet, brewer's yeast, honey, molasses and herbs all essential? BASIC FOUR A. Not if your daily :diet in- cludes the Basic Four: (1) a pint of milk, (2) two servings of meat or other protein, (3) four servings of fruits (including one citrus) or vegetables (in- cluding one dark green or yel- low) and (4) four servings of enriched bread or cereal.

Walmsley & Magill OFFICE EQUIP. LTD. 9 KING ST. E. OSHAWA 725-3506 any increase in costs or wages must be paid for by higher pro- ductivity. That is why he is concentrating on increased mechanization. By 1965, he claims, 80 per cent of Britain's ceal output will be power-load- ed. He told the miners' union that the industry cannot afford a@ pay increase this year. In spite of this, the National Union of Mineworkers has de- cided to ask for $2.85 a week extra for some 365,000 lower paid "day wage" men and in- creases for piece-time workers. This claim will go in on No- vember 15, and will be taken through to arbitration. Union leaders are trying to co-operate with Lord Robens in delaying the claim, but they are under pressure from their members. A pay award some time next year seems inevita- ble. HELP TO CONSUMERS The Central Electricity Board takes about 25 per cent of the output of the National Coal Board. A board spokesman said that any stabilization' of coal prices over a long period would help in fixing the cost of pow- er. The British Iron and Steel Board said this stabilization would help in the fight to keep down steel prices. On the other hand, James Stewart, director of the Coal Merchants Federation, poined out that the pledge applied only to pithead prices. Increased transportation, delivery and wages costs could still put up the price to the consumers. Lord Robens countered with the old adage that the industry. now had to be prepared to lose on the swings what it gained on the roundabouts. An indica- tion of this was a warning that uneconomical coal pits which were operating at a substantial loss would have to be closed down. He referred specifically to coal mines in Kent, which are about the most expensive in the country to operate, and are in danger of being abandoned unless the situation there can be improved When You NEED MONEY ALL the others OMPARE the costs end then ALL us for the money you need WE'RE READY TO INVEST IN YOUR FUTURE! c ial end fh eon borrow from $1600. up on @ Ist or 2nd mortgage \with monthly payments es low ob $17.50 per $1000. borrowed.
