She Oshawa Sunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St) E., Oshawa, Ontario MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1961 -- PAGE 6 Civil Servants Propose Change Of 'Servile Tag Federal civil servants (in Ottawa, at least) want to be called "government employees", because "civil servant" im- plies servility. An obvious answer, of course, is that many of them are not civil and do little in the way of service, and therefore it is high time they were given some other name. In any case, the complaint is typical of the common desire to exchange meaningful words for words that can mean anything or nothing. Garbage collectors have become sanitary engineers and disposal experts; scrubwomen and sewer workers are both maintenance employees; maids and cooks are domestic workers. The last refuges of the words "service" and "servant" will soon be the service clubs (Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions and so on), who still seem proud of the word and its connotation, and politicians who like to claim, whatever their private thoughts may be, that they are servants of the people. We see no objection to the change proposed by the Ottawa group. It is debatable whether the designation "civil servant" is in truth degrading. It goes back to the time in early eighteenth century Britain when the administrative machinery of the government was divid- ed into the military establishment and the civil establishment, the latter known as the civil service and its staff as civil servants; the government makes the decisions, the civil service carries them out. It could be argue that the phrase implies usefulness rather than servility, and that dislike of it by those to whom it can be applied suggests a significant change in attitude towards the function of the administrative branch of govern- ment. But a designation is not of itself important, and if the "government em- ployees" want to change it, let them. We hope, however, that they will find some better tag than "government em- ployees". A government is only an elected agent of the people of this country, and the workers it hires are paid out of the revenue provided by the people. The is chosen, should serve as constant remider of that fact. new name, if one The Pathology Of Hate A study of youths involved in daubing swastikas on synagogues in the United States last year has brought two signifi- cant revelations, according to the Amer- icar. Jewish Committee's institute of human relations: 1. The youths came from middle class backgrounds and had average in- telligence, or better. 2. Publicity about the religious van- dalism supposedly triggered widespread imitative acts among other youths, many of whom were emotionally ill. The study, made at the New York School of Social Work, sheds consider- able light on some underlying causes of acts lumped under the general heading of delinquency. It also gives insight into what is sometimes called the pathology of hate. The youths involved weren't poor or ignorant. They weren't necessarily mean or depraved. Common to all were pa- rental conflicts, lack of strong father figures in the homes, lack of adult inter- est, poor school efforts, poorly super- vised recreation, lack of experience with youths of other backgrounds -- reli- gious, racial, economic or cultural. The youths had "strong unsatisfied status needs." They had been deprived of recognition and affection that fosters a feeling of security and self-confidence. They had no particular reason to dis- like Jews or to want to damage places of worship. These just seemed like vul- nereble targets for acts of adolescent rebellion and bravado. Those who are looking for someone to hate and hurt are not choosy, the Milwaukee Journal points out. As vic- tims, members of almost any group that is "different" will do. And if nothing had suggested smearing swastikas on syna- gogues, some other idea would have triggered depredations of some other kind. Triggers there will always be, of one kind or another. There would be even if every line of crime news were sup- pressed. It is the explosive that must concern us acutely, not just the expres- sions of hate or acts of vandalism. Drivers Deadly Enemy Traffic authorities agree that no one really knows how many accidents are caused by drivers who actually are half poisoned from carbon monoxide. With the approach of colder days and nights, traffic police know with certainty that deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning will increase sharply. As the American Medical Association observes, this colorless, odorless, taste- less gas that is expelled from the car's exhaust system is deadly poison in an enclosed space. Before the driver realizes what is happening he gets drowsy and begins to doze at the wheel. If the gas itselt doesn't kill, the resulting crash into a.tree or a bridgerail or an oncoming car might finish the job. Every driver should follow the basic rules to cut down the danger of carbon moncxide poisoning. They are: Ee conse at least one window open slight Dhe Oshawa Times 1. L. WILSON Publisher ond Genera!

Such a retreat is a place for a man to escape the crush of public events and draw a fresh and private breath, to be his own man, to taste and nourish his. personal faith. Such a place a man leaves to those who are closest to him, those congenial to his deepest beliefs. Mr. Hammarsk- jold left his country retreat, not to a relative or a friend, but to be used in the spirit of the United Nations.

Hite SOVEREIGN STATE OF EAST GERMANY QUEEN'S PARK Wrong Time Now For Parochialism By DON O0'HEARN TORONTO--There is another point to be watched for in the government of Premier John Robarts. This is possible sectionalism. Mr. Robarts comes from Lon- on. And the bulk of the people who manoeuvred his campaign come from London and adjacent areas This is a distinctive area. All areas of the province, of course, have their distinctive characteristics. But the dominant one of this London-centered area is pros- perity--an old prosperity based largely on lush land. And secondary characteristics are akin to smugness and paro chialism. It 1s inclined to be self-satis- fied and rather indifferent to the rest of the province. LOCAL SORES And this, of course, is no time for a parochial government in Ontario. Not only the whole economy must be ruthlessly rearranged. -- Practically every area except London, strangely enough--has pressing local problems . . . either sore spots such as unem- ployment in Cornwall and Wind- sor, or general needs, such as that of development in the north. FUTURE--NORTH Let us take the question of the north You can treat it parochially. Or you can treat it with vis- ion. Yov can treat it because there are some twenty seats there. Or you can treat it as a part of the provincial community. The politician or the parochia- list will see the north as a po- litica) entity. He will build some roads, he will build some hospitals and schouls and he probably will ap- poini some advisory councils. Tne statesman, the man with vision, will see beyond the poli- tical. He will see in the north what it is, the greatest promise on REPORT FROM U.K. Employees Retain Stock In Company By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON Employees of Imperial Chemical Industries are finding it very much worth their while to be sharcholders in the company and to hang on to the shares which they re- ceive each year as a bonus from this huge firm. Because of this, speculators on the London Stock Exchange have had their fingers badly burned in their dealings in ICI shares. Last month some 63,000 em- ployees of the Imperial Chemi- cal Industries received their annua: share bonus, the amounts varying in accordance with their length of service. In all, 2,615,000 bonus shares were distributed to employees of the company. BEAKS SOLD SHORT Anticipating that the bulk of the employees would be selling their bonus shares to turn them into cash, speculators on the stock exchange started a move- ment of selling ICI short. It was their hope that the workers would dump their shares on what is a very tender market, and drive the price down by severa: shillings. After the fall, the speculators hoped to clear up a nice profit by buying the shares at the cheaper price But things did not happen that way. The workers of the ICI have not sold their shares on the market at all. Instead, they have been buying any that have been offered by fellow-employ- ees :desirous of turning them into ready cash A staff canteen manageress said: "None of my girls would think of selling ICI shares. If any workers did sell it would be the men." But a shop steward counter- ed this by saying: "We are certainly not sell- ers. This week my mates on the site have been buying ICI shares in lots of from 35 to 50." Chairman Paul Chambers of the comnany confirmed _ this. "The workers are not selling." he said, "and when they do "they like to sell to each other. They are more likely to sell their shares on a rising mar- ket." The net result is that since the share distribution was made, instead of the price drop- ping, as the bear speculators had hoped, the price has gone up by about 45 cents a share. The gamblers who had hoped to make money by selling short and buying back at lower prices have been badly fooled. They are having to buy back their shares at higher prices than those at which they sold them, and have lost considerable sums of money in so doing. the horizon for the future of the whole province. Where necessary' he will spend (though nobody has ever claimed the north needs tre- mendous expenditure). But even more important he will think. He will think in terms of the north and its future, and of the problems to be met before it grows up to its capacity. And then he will take the sten; necessary, no matter how bold. And he will face any peo- ple in southern Ontario who mighi be critical and point out he is not cutting off their noses but putting fat at the future on their bellies--for every dollar invested now in the north will continue to grow and spread through the whole province for years and generations ahead. We will see. BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Leon H. Rolson, one of the original members of the Osh- awa Yacht Club when it was formed in 1931, was elected Commodore for the 1946-47 sea- son. At the annual meeting of the Osrpawa Boy Scout Association J. Harry Rigg, district commis- sioner, reported on many me- morable events which occurred during the year and that the membership had increased to 973 from 799 over the previous year. Thomas Hopkins was re- elected president for the ensu- ing year. J. Frank Morris, who retired after 39 years' service with Fit- tings Ltd., was honored at a din- ner in. the Genosha Hotel and received presentations from the firm and his fellow employees. Miss Caroline Frolick and Miss Marion R. Luke each re- ceived their ATCM degree: at Convocation Hall, University of Toronto. The Oshawa Minor Hockey Association elected Walter R. Branch president and Vic Burr secretary for the 1946-47 season. A total of 228 permits were issued for new iwellings during the first 10 months of the year at an estimated value of $3,157,- 000, as compared with $741,382 for the same period in 1945. INSIDE YOU Persistent Cough Calls For Doctor By BURTON H. FERN, M.D. What's the best remedy for a winter cough? Sometimes some- thing to make you cough more! With a jet of compressed air, each explosive cough blasts dripping mucous up the air pas- sage. You inhale, clamp your vocal cords shut and exhale. Chest muscles tighten until you fee] like an unopened tube of toothpaste squeezed in a giant fist. Suddenly the vocal cords qgpen and air thunders up the passage, whisking along everything in its path. Inflammation inside a clear air passage can tickle sen- sitive nerve endings and trig- ger explosive, useless coughs. SOME CONFUSION Because ear and _ throat nerves share common roots, sig- nals are often confused. An ear infection, wax pushing on the drum, even a tickling wisp of hair in the outer ear canal may trigger a cough. Some coughs signal serious trouble; if coughing persists, call your doctor. Meanwhile, stop annoying, use- ess coughs! They tire you out. Soothe raw nerve endings by coating irritated membranes with syrupy cough medicines. Honey--with or without lemon juice -- works well. Other drugs, like codine, numb the brain's automatic ad control centre. A giant dose paralyzes the centre; smaller doses merely weaken the cough. By whisking away choking mucous, valuable productive coughs help prevent bronchitis and pneumonia. Chemicals like guaiacolate or iodine make air passages "'sweat". Soon this lu- brication thins all thick mucous. THREE BENEFITS Many cough medicines com- bine all three benefits -- sooth- ing syrup, cough centre control and mucous moistening. Steam-- in the bathroom or by the va- porizer -- can also water down stubborn mucous before blast- off. Special inhaled detergents make water wetter when mu- cous won't moisten. Keep gravity on your side. Lie face down, with your head slightly lower than your chest. Mucous should pour out like ketchup from a half-empty bot- tle Control winter coughs as eas- ily as summer coughs. The two resemble each ajher. There's really only one major differ- ence -- six months! OTTAWA REPORT Note Of Urgency In NATO Meeting By PATRICK NICHOLSON LONDON -- An eagerness to examine far-reaching new mea- sures to bolster Western strength has been evident at the NATO Citizens Convention just concluded here. Meeting under the shadow of the Berlin crisis and the Rus sian nuc'ear tests, the 28 dele- gates from the 15 NATO coun- tries were impelled by a greater sense of urgency than has been evident at any previous post- war international conference, And it was not irrelevant that this meeting has been held in London, a community of 13,- 000,000 men, women and chil- dren, which presents the great- est and least defensible nuclear target in the world. The NATO Citizens Conven- tion had its roots 13 years ago, when Canada successfully urged that the North Atlantic Treaty should include a clause p'edg- ing its signatories to base their military alliance on the strong economic and_ psychological foundation of co-operation in the non - military fields. The far- sightedness of that Canadian proposal is now startlingly en- dorsed by its partial adoption by the chief Efropean allies-- in the absence |pf North Ameri- can co-operatigh. For now that Canadian suggfstion is triuma phant'y implemented in part-- and somewhat to our own dis- comforture--in the so-called Eu- ropean Common Market. But a growing body of public opinion in ali the NATO coun- tries today believes that more should be done; that the Com- mon Market should be expanded to include the nations surround- ing the basin of the north At- lantic Ocean; and that similar co-operation should be adopted in other fields TEAMWORK FOR PEACE Among these suggested at the Convention were to convert NATO into a genuine Atlantic community; t» expand economic welfare within that community; to consider possible po'itical co- ordination, including control over a nuciear deterrent; to pool aid and information to un- der-developed 'countries; to co- ordinate monetary policy; to re- train and resettle the under-em- ployed. So urgent did the convention consider these topics to be that the meeting, which was only preparatory by agenda, ar- ranged that the plenary meeting of the NATO Citizens Conven- tion should be opened at the earliest possible date, selecting Jan. 8 next with Paris as the venue FOUNDING CONVENTION? There wii: be 98 delegates from the 15 NATO countries, re- flecting inexactly the various populations. Thus there will be 20 from the U.S.; 10 from each of the European big powers-- Britain, France, West Germany and Italy; seven from Canada; and so on down to two from tiny Luxembourg. They will be private citizens, speaking for themselves and unofficially for their fellows, but not with any mandate from their government. Many countries have already named their de'egates, and these are shaping up as an un- matched gathering of experi- ence and talent by no means limited to politics and state- craft. The importance accorded to this convention by the various governments was evident in the national representation at the preparatory meeting; this in- cluded business executives, uni- versity leaders, an ex - prime Announcement was made that the Airport building which for- merly housed the Officers' quar- ters was purchased by the Osh- awa Rotary. Club, from War Assets Corporation, to be used for the training of the Oshawa "Chadburn" Air Cadet Squad- ron, now sponsored by.sthe club. EMPHYSEMA -- Our Most Neglected Disease ?
