She Oshawa Canes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St.°E., Oshawa, Ontario THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1961 -- PAGE 6 'No Longer Centuries For Human Solutions With Dr. Norman Z. Alcock, nuclear physicist and former vice-president of Isotope Products Ltd. as its organizer and inspirational force, a Canadian Peace Research Institute has been organized and will be established at' an Eastern Canadian university still to be named. Its purpose is to examine the physical, economic and social facts involved in specific problems underlying interna- tional tensions and the "nuclear peril." Broadly speaking, Dr. Alcock and his colleagues hope to apply: the scientific method to the problems of peace -- a refreshing change from concentration on the problems of power and war, hot and cold. The scientists will, of course, find that human nature is a much more slippery thing than an atom and just as explosive; that all sorts of confusion comes about when particles of matter are arranged to make a human being. But on their side is the slow march of the civilizing pro- cess, which, if we can avoid a radioactive doomsday, will bring us -- the human race -- some day to a realization that reason is better than force and justice better than power. As Chief Justice Mc- Ruer of the High Court of Ontario declared the other day: "What an impact it would make on the minds of men throughout the whole world if the nations that call them- selves peace-loving would by solemn treaty agree that they would submit all international disputes between them that could not be resolved by negotiations to the Court of International Justice and likewise agree to abide by its decision-- a decision to be enforced if need be by a collective international police force, "There are those who will say these are mere idle dreams in a world dis- traught by the products of modern scien- tific invention. These are no more idle dreams than the dreams of the great jurists who in the past established prin- ciples of law and justice to give order in man's domestic affairs. "We need only recall that there were days when murder was not a crime against the state but merely a wrong against the victim that might be aven- ged by his next-of-kin, to realize that law and order are the product of a civilizing process. It is true that this process has taken centuries to produce the results we have today in our domestic affairs. Internationally, we have not centuries to wait." 'Little Election' Called Premier Robarts has acted wisely in calling by-elections in the five ridings without representation in the provincial parliament. January is one of the worst possible months for an election, because of the obvious discouragement of the weather, but to get the empty seats filled as soon as possible, Mr. Robarts did not have much choice. Besides, the winter months do not impose nearly so much difficulty on voters now as they did some years ago; roads are plowed and sanded more efficiently and quickly, and unless there is a very heavy fall of snow just before or during election day, most of the voters in the five constitu- encies should be able to cast their ballots without too much inconvenience. The "little election" in January should, if there is a decent turnout of voters, throw some light on the political situ- ation in Ontario. There are many ques- tions in the minds of political observers: Has the resignation of Mr. Frost and the election as leader of Mr. Robarts made a difference in the support of the Progressive Conservative party in the province? Will the new Democratic party pick up more support than its predecessor, the CCF? And if so, will the support be taken from the Consere vatives or the Liberals? Has Mr. Winter- meyer retained or regained the affection of Liberals in such areas as Brant, where Harry Nixon was invincible? A clear picture should emerge after the five tests, The ridings themselves are varied, from urban to largely rural, 'They will not be a fair test of Mr. Robarts' own strength on the hustings, but they could indicate what the voters think of what is essentially a Frost. gov- ernment. Deceptive Efficiency The Soviet deception of the Russian people over the resumption of nuclear testing is well known. Until Premier Khrushchev's speech to the Communist Congress, not a word had been printed in Russia about any of the atomic ex- plosions. But that is only a small part of the conspiracy of silence, the Ottawa Journal points out. If one had to depend solely upon the Russian press during August and Sep- tember, the following facts, simply would not be known: 1. That there had been any flight of East Germans to West Berlin before or after the sealing of the border; 2 That the East'German police used tear gas or water hoses at any time; That Russian troops had moved into the border area; 4 That the border closing placed any hindrances in the way of crossings by She Oshawa Times 1. & WILSON, Publisher ona Genera!

Only a month after the fact did Izvestia report that Berlin was divided by a wall of barbed wire, bricks and cement. These are some of the more conspi- cuous omissions of the press which Russia, in its quaint semantics, like to insist is "free", The record has been kept and compiled in The International Press Institute Bulletin by. Leo Gruilow who is the editor of "The Current Digest of the Soviet Press," published at Colum- bia University. No one should be surprised. Nikita Khrushchev, in a speech on art and literature -- of all things -- said this in 1957; "Just as the army cannot fight without arms, so the Party cannot carry out its ideological mission without that efficient and powerful weapon, the press", Under Mr. Khrushchev's direction, the Soviet press is efficient.

Nearly half of the West Ger- man public say flatly that they do not believe the Berlin crisis will lead to war. Another one in three (36 per cent) concede that there is some possibility of this happening. But only one West German in 20 -- in a survey by the Gallup -- affiliated EMNID organiza- tion -- sees war as a "'very likely" consequence of the situ- ation in the former German capital. These attitudes contrast QUEEN'S PARK Municipal Tangle Needs Unravelling By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The province may take over the total cost of education, hospitals, public housing, through roads and ad- ministration of justice. Some day. We all know that some day there has to be a serious shak- ing up of provincial and muni- cipal responsibilities, We are getting closer to it all the time. But when we will actually get to it is a question for the gods. STRONG DEMAND The Association of Mayors and Reeves have made another annual presentation. In it it has put forward the strongest demand to date for a new municipal structure. But to make the demand is one thing. To get it is. quite an- other. The need for a revision of re- sponsibilities has been increas- ingly apparent to municipal peo- ple for some years. But to date action hasn't gone beyond the talking stage. And the question that really BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Announcement was made that the new Public Utilities build- ing on corner of Metcalf and Simcoe streets would be ready for occupancy on December 2. A session of the Pensions Tri- bunal was held in Centre Street School to hear applications from local veterans. Mrs. H. H.

DON'T HURT You often find in government that solving the mechanics is more important than solving the problem. In many cases you will find it is not hard to pin-point just what should be done. But it is almost impossible to plan how it can be done. For, once again, to do some- thing progressive requires change. And change means that some feelings will be hurt. Ané the usual first character- istic of the politician is to shrink from doing hurt. NEED STATURE The most common way of getting around this is to shelve the blame somewhere else. This, to most politicians, is the main reason for existence of royal commissions. It may be that this will be the eventual mechanism by which we will get out municipal struc- ture straightened away. The greatest difficulty here, however, is to find a commis- sion or commissioner with the stature to handle the job. Efforts to date have not been encouraging. A few years ago we had an inquiry committee into munici- sharply with war fears in the U.S. which spurred by the Ber- lin tension--ose last month toa 10-year high point. In West Germany, interview- ers for EMNID put this question to a cross-section of the public: "Do you think it is very like- ly, possible, or unlikely that the Berlin crisis is going to lead to war?" WEST GERMAN VIEW Very likely ....cccccees NO: Opinion. .ssccecavens 10 In a survey by the U.S. Gall- up poll, reported last month, 53 per cent of Americans said they feared a world war would break out during the next five years. This is the greatest degree of pessimism about the likeli- hood of war -- in, a question asked periodically over the last decade--recorded since August, 1951. Throughout the recent months of the Berlin crisis, moreover. 62 per cent of the American public familiar with the situation there have held to the view if Russia insists on controlling Berlin this will lead to war. In a comparable study in Canada, 47 ner cent held the same view. While somewhat less concern- ed than Americans about the present likelihood of war, a majority of the West Germans are confident that a Russian move against West Berlin would bring the U.S. and its allies to the defence of that beleaguered city. In West Germany, this ques- tion was asked: "How far do you think the Western Powers will go on West Berlin. If the Russians attack West Berlin, do you think the Western Powers will defend it, or not?" WEST GERMAN VIEW OR, WUE oe vkvescceeeass No, will not ....0..

Nose drops can some- times head off trouble in the 'middie ear"-- a tiny space just behind the ear drum. Ear drops can't pierce the drum to reach the middle ear Except for the "Eustachian tube", which flows to the back of the nose, the middle ear is sealed off irom the out-side world. Swelling, mucus and swollen adenoids that clog the Eustachian tube trigger a pain- ful pressure. Soon the middle ear germ population explodes into infection. The chiid's large adenoids often stop up Eustachian tube openings in the nose. As germs stream through his short, wide- open, horizontal Eustachian tubes, colds often bring on an ear infection. Long, narrow, up- hill tubes guard adult ears. RED AND INFLAMED A raging fever magnifies the earache And through a special- ly lighted funnel, the doctor sees a red inflamed -- often bulging -- ear drum Pressure may build to near bursting, spreading germs into Li ah ai MO eh oh sary iat complicating mastoid infections or brain ab:cesses. Even today, the doctor may have to lance the ear drum to help infection pour out before complications set in. Your doctor can prescribe antibiotic germ-killers to cure ~ most infections. But drainage-- through the Eustachian tubes helps, too Nose drops (spray) and de- congestant tablets can shrink swollen lining to open clogged Eustachian tubes. Steam-lubri- cated mucus easily slides out of the way CHEWING GUM HELPS The same chewing gum which airlines give passengers to keep ears from stopping up on take- off and landing helps open Eustachian tubes and may even milk out infected material. With big wads of stale bubble gum, little jaws. nave to chew harder. A smoldering infection often fills the middie ear with fluid. Your docto: may want to check for this complication to safe- guard your hearing. After all. fluid in the middle ear is bound to dampen incom- ing sound. » OTTAWA REPORT Cabinet Changes Before Election? By PATRICK NICHOLSON Parliament Hill has long been buzzing with rumors of Cabinet changes. There has been so much speculation that, as Prime Minister John Diefenbaker jok- ingly remarked, one of the guesses was bound to prove correct. That comment quietened the rumor mills, but the possibili- ties remained that a shuffle there would be, at latest prior to the opening of the last ses- sion before the general election and this in turn might hint at the answer to that greatest political question: When will Canadians be asked to mark their ballots? Most speculation centred around the resignation of one cabinet minister and the health of another. Mines Minister Paul Comtois was appointed as lieut 'OV to Beyond that, the speculation was limited to sophisticated po- litical circles. "Prime Minister Dicfen- baker," it was _ suggested, "would like to go into the elec- tion campaign at the head of a cabinet of widely experienced ministers, all of whom would ~~ handled at least two port- olios."" BIG SHUFFLE DUE That betokened a wider shuf- fle than the essential patching and simple switch mentioned above. One might, for example, see New Brunswick's former premier, Hugh John Flemming, show his ability with a more de- manding portfolio than the sap- ling that is forestry. Some of the ambitious upcom- ers might be encouraged to bring their lights out from under gov ernor of Quebec, that left that province with only five min- isters, against seven from On- tario, so a successor became a certainty. Several names were mentioned, with the edge being given to Paul Martineau, MP for Pontiac - Temiscamingue in western Quebec, who has long served as parliamentary secre- tary to the prime minister. NNAPOLIS GIANT Revenue Minister George Nowlan, Nova Scotia's magnifi- cent contribution to the Cabinet, has long been an indefatigable workhorse. This finally caught up with his 63-year-old heart some months ago. It was thought that he would be forced to transfer to some less exact- ing routine, perhaps to the Sen- ate or the bench. But George Nowlan would evi- dently prefer to stake the life he loves against his doctor's pru- dence, and it became improb- able that Health Minister "Monty" Monteith would fulfil the predictions by moving to na- tional revenue to replace one of our most brilliant and likeable politicians. Another speculation was that Labor Minister Mike Starr and Immigration Minister Ellen Fairclough would exchange portfolios. Oshawa's former mayor has done such an imagi- native and outstanding job un- der difficult conditions that he certainly deserves a respite in the cushier billet in Ottawa's Citizenship Building. But by the same token, Mr. Starr's very success suggests that he should remain to finish the job he has handled so well. LR IT'S BEYOND BELIEF !!

Pre-election pres- tige might even be given to some of the rising stars on the backbenches by substituting them for ministers nudging re- tirement. The most significent possibili- ties began to centre around the finance portfolio. In recent times, it has been unusual for a minister to hold that for as many budgets as Donald Flem- ing has already presented--witn the exception of one Liberal who coasted tranquilly along on the series of easy surpluses sparked by our post-war. boom. Anti-inflationist Fleming and ahergpesgy Fleming has well oed his tough row, but with sunshine appropriate for the | election and freer trade in the Atlantic air, it was suggested, he should be replaced by Health Minister Monteith, whose publi- city-giving portfolio would go to Justice Minister Davie Fulton, while Don Fleming, QC--who once sought external affairs-- would complete the three-way switch by assuming Justice.
