Bye Osharwa Times Published by Canadian, Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1961 -- PAGE 6 Darlington Park Could Provide Fun Ontario's weather during the winter months has been a big obstacle to the fullest possible recreational use of pro- vincial parks. Access is often difficult, fishing and hunting are in all but a few cases forbidden (and quite rightly), and regular facilities for winter sports are, understandably, not provided. Still, there are opportunities for cold- weather recreation in some of the parks that could well be taken by the Depart- ment of Lands and Forests. At Darling- ton Park, between Oshawa and Bowman- ville, for example, some thought could be given to a toboggan slide for chil- dren. Southeast of the warehouse area there is a good slope, long enough to be worthwhile and gentle enough for small children. At the top of the slope there is a large parking area, and nearby is the lake, from which ice could be dragged and crushed by a bulldozer to "salt" the slope during periods when the snow cover (always a chancy matter here- abouts) is inadequate. me In Winter There is no particular reason why many of the provincial parks could not provide year-round enjoyment, with little bother and expense for the Depart- ment of Lands and Forests -- a Depart- ment which, incidentally, has established an enviable reputation for energetic and far-sighted administration, One cannot expect the Department to turn the parks into: full-fledged winter resorts, complete with chalets, tows and so on for skiers, skaters and snowshoers. On the other hand, a little work during the snow-free months could pay recree ational dividends during the winter ~ the clearing of a few tracks, the dump- ing of some drit, the planning of suit- able skating areas. In this fashion maxi- mum benefit could be obtained from Ontario's excellent and expanding parks program. 1 Darlington, we think, could be a good starting point for a program of winter recreation. Tradition, Restriction Emphasis is often placed on the value of newcomers to Canada retaining their cultural traditions, arts and crafts. That value is not denied. It is unfortunate, however, when these settlers -- parti- ctlarly those from non-English-speaking countries -- group together too exclu- sively; it is natural that they should at once associate with people of the same stock as themselves, but they should' not content themselves with that, the Brant- ford Expositor thinks, This point was well brought out by Judge W. B. Beardall in remarks he made while presiding at his first natu- ralization court at Chatham, Ontario, He advised 59 new Canadians, to whom the granted citizenship, to avoid mem- bership in separate national groups that would retard their assimilation into Canadian society. The judge did not suggest the discontinuance of all ethnic groups, clubs or societies, of course, Many of these perform a useful service, It was the 'exclusive or narrowly re- strictive organizations that he had in mind, In this Judge Beardall was right, and his remarks are applicable all across Canada. "One of the duties of a Cana- dian," as he said, "is to be a Canadian, and you will best become a Canadian in all respects if you mingle most fre- quently with the native citizens of this , country." The native or established Canadians, © for their part, should welcome and be as friendly and helpful as possible to those who are making Canada their adopted homeland. Prizes For Scientists The Nobel literary prizes may be tainted by favoritism or politicking, but the same cannot be said of the science awards, This year's award of chemistry, for example, went to Dr. Mevin Calvin of the University of California, a scientist with a bright international reputation, for his fundamental discoveries in photosyn- thesis -- the harnessing of the energy of sunlight by the green pigment in plants, which creates the food for man and animals out of air and water. Dr. Calvin has been working on this project for years. By the use of a radioactive form of carbon diovide, one of the many peaceful products of atomic energy. Dr, Calvin traced over the course of several years the various highly complicated, and exceedingly rapid, steps taken by nature in creating the starches and sugars to supply the energy foods for all living things. His fundamental studies hold the promise that some day man may duplicate the processes in the plant, creating an abundant supply of food as well as fuel out of water and carbon dioxide through the agency of solar energy. 5 The Nobel laureates in physics, Dr. Robert Hofstadter of Stanford University _and Dr. Rudolf Mossbauer of Munich She Oshawa Times T.

Circulation for the issue of November 30, 1961 18,006 Nee Neg sy an aap ene (now at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena) have provided new insights into the nature of the Physical world and its fundamental building blocks. Dr. Hofstandter's work resulted in the most precise measure- ments of the sizes of the proton and the neutron, the two pafticles of which all the atoms of the material universe are constituted, each measuring 20 to 30 quadrillionths of an inch in radius. His studies also shed significant new light ' on the shape of the nuclear particles as well as of the nucleus itself, according to the New York Times. Dr. Mossbauer is the discoverer of what is known as the "Mossbauer effect," which has been used in the confirma- tion of Einstein's theory of gravitation. It also provides the most precise atomic clock yet available, one that can measure deviations of one part in one hundred million, and holds the key to many of the remaining secrets of the atom. 'Other Editors' Views RUSSIA vs. CHINA ? (London Free Press) Nehru may be wrong, but he is near the scene, and he believes that Russian intervention in Laos and Vietnam is not to help the Chinese Communists, but to prevent them from taking over the whole of Southeast Asie. For these reasons he doubts the wisdom of American inter- vention which would give the Communist Chinese the argument that they were fighting foreign interference by white troops, Nehru has given Mr. Kennedy a lot to think about.

West Faces Reds With Inefficiency By PATRICK NICHOLSON Representative scenes involv- ing Canadians during 1961 would include 19,000 temporary mili- tiamen. graduating from a course in nuclear survival at drill halls across Canada; Works Minister David Walker in faraway Malaya proposing that Canada should establish, and staff, training schools in Asia; uniformed Nordic allies learn- ing to fly non-uniform planes at a Prairie airfield; Finance Min- ister Donald Fleming in equa- torial Africa warning Britain that she must, choose between the Commonwealth and the Common Market. An alarming picture? Uh-huh. Unusual scenes? Well, we have grown accustomed to the un- usual in the fast-moving script of the 15 years of Cold War. PATTERN OF CHAOS What is common to all those scenes? Common is the under- lying fact that each has as its mainspring the world-wide con- dition which Russia euphemisti- cally calls '"'peaceful co-exis- tence". Common too, if we have the courage to recognize this, is the disorganised inefficiency with which the Free World is facing the Russian threat. The. civil defence course is not up to strength, and even in its brief six weeks many volunteers disappear "over the hill" with their free $95 uniform, The aid to the contested nations of Asia is poorly co-ordinated by us and other free nations which give it. We are so selfish in peace- time military planning that we- shun the. economies and effi- ciency of standardized hardware and other military provisions. And finally, although prepared to die for each other on the bat- tlefield, the Western Allies are clawing each other to death in the market place. As Britain's Prime Minister Harold Macmillan tot an audi- ence at Harvard this summer, "the vital centre of the Free World's resistence to commu- nism, the Western Alliance, is no better organized today than in 1950, whether in the field of defence, economics or political relations." In our cold-war battle to the death against the efficient fast- moving centrally - dictatored Communist empire, our demo- cratic alliance of the Free World has tied its own hands behind its back by insisting QUEEN'S PARK Changes To Come But Not Quickly By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Changes will be made. But not overnight. A new government means new ideas, new approaches and new methods. We not only have a new gov- ernment here, but also a new day. And eventually this is going to mean quite different ways of doing things. But it will take time. TWO VIEWS For instance we had quite a debate in the house on air pol- lution. The government has legisla- tion to establish an advisory committee on air pollution to the minister of health. This is a progressive step but really a minor one. And there are two apparently rigid lines of thought on it. One--that of the opposition, and quietly of some of the gov- F ernment members also--is that there should not be an advisory T. board but a commission which would have province - wide powers to enforce pollution con- trol. The other--the government's --is that action can't go too fast. If it does industry--the "'lunch- pail'--might be hurt. OPPOSITION RIGHT There is no question which is the enlightened view to-day. It is that of the opposition. This also probably is the pri- vate view. of the government. Air pollution by its nature is en a province-wide mat- er. No matter how one commu- nity may control its local area it can't control the pollutants that drift into it from adjoining areas. And only province-wide action can regulate this. But the former government was really one of another day. A day which didn't have the scientific devices of today and also the enlightened manage- ment in industry. That government. felt that in- dustry must be protected--as its ome noisy, and least efficient segment so vigorously claimed. rt And the new government can't Move away from this policy too quickly. It could be too disruptive to party unity, particularly to the old guard. But eventually it will move. And we will see proper legisla- tion on air pollution, as in many other fields. ; standing aim of "C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la guerre.' CRISIS FOR WEST What is the nature of the threat we face? It is the long- Communist leaders to impose their mater- ; jalistic and atheistic system of state-supremacy upon all the peoples of the world, More briefly, it is Khrushchev's threat to the Free World: "We will bury you.' The Kremlin's purpose is to attain that end by all mischief short of war, but always backed by the threat of its military might. At the vend of the Second World War we trusted our war- time allies, The U.S. forces in Europe were slashed from 3,100,000 men under arms to a token occupation force of 391,- 000, and other armies were re- duced similarly. Winston Churchill warned that: "an iron curtain is drawn down upon the Russian front; we do not know what is going on behind." But we learned that the Russians were maintaining a mamoth army of 175 divisions in eastern Europe, their heavy armor within a day's forced march of the Atlantic seaboard. The disarming West reacted by organizing, as in 1914, a 'contemptible little army."' This would serve as a temporary shield, behind which 'our indus- trial might could be mobilized if aggression were launched. This acy was soon voided by new weapons. In the years since the war, Russia has so developed its economy and skills that it now has the power to vary its threat beyond that of merely a Ni- agara of soldiery. It added an unequalled submarine fleet, then strategic bombers, then the most powerful rockets--all able to deliver accurately the world's most destructive nu- clear bombs. At the same time Russia has planned and built up a modern economy, expanding faster than the West's; a world- wide information and subversive network; and a deafening prop- aganda cataract which drowns out the West's unharmonized solos. Russia's new and varied strength today presents the cri- sis threatening this stumbling giant, the Free World. INSIDE YOU Answers Queries About Hair Loss By BURTON H. FERN, MD 1.

Without male hor- mones (chemicals) to trigger early baldness, the inherited tendency may lie hidden under a full head of hair. Often when pills and injections correct an abnormal hormone - lack, the hairline begins to recede, NO MAGIC REMEDIES Medicated sham p'0o.s may slow hairfall. But don't wasfe money on magic remedies. If you want to put Rair on your head, save your pennies for some future toupee! 2. False. More and more, women are complaining about hair thinning out, But few ac- tually grow bald. Nylon bristles tougher than human hair and scalps sagging from synthetic shampoos may explain this hair fall. Fallout often fills in when you switch to softer bristles. and natural shampoos. 3. False. About two or three \ months after infections like scarlet fever -- and somewhat longer after childbirth -- fallout reaches its peak and new hairs begin to blossom. 4. True. If you've inherited the tendency, emotional problems may trigger Spotty baldness -- "alopecia areata". Without rea- he pote of hair suddenly all out. HAIR GROWS AGAIN Eventually, a new crop fills in each bald spot, but repeated attacks may keep you rotating crops. The doctor can paint the scalp with special liquefied phenol to stimulate new growth. While cortisone-like ointments and in- jections into each hairless patch don't help much, cortisone-like pills speed temporary fill-ins. Is this worth risking corti- sone's serious side effects? Only if that bald pate looms like a large 8-ball, making you a social outcast! NEW CROP ON WAY 5. True, Forced to give up nail-biting some youngsters turn to hair-pulling. But under each thin head of hair is the fuzzy stubble of a new crop. Remember, even though your scalp's in +erough, shape, your brain can stilbe dn ed form-- and that's what counts! Ny statistics showing Christmas Sales Higher \. More Districts Report By THE CANADIAN PRESS Cash. registers are jingling at a faster tempo than a year ago in most parts of the country as Canadians whirl through their annual Christmas shopping epree, A Cross-Canada Survey by The Canadian Press shows that merchants in most major cities expect at least a small increase. over last year's Christmas sales volume. Their optimism is meperies lepart- ment store sales about five per cent higher than a year ago in the first weeks of the seasonal - buying rush. Quebec and Manitoba are run- ning well ahead of a year ago and even in Saskatchewan, where last summer's drought put a crimp in spending power, there was a slight rise in ¢r- partment store sales in late November. Regina -storekeepers are pes- simistic, however, and the gen- eral expectation seems to be that Christmas shopping will be down three to five per cent, An official of one Reg'na de- partment store says people are tighter with their money, An- other says the number of sales is higher but that pedple are buying lower-priced items. Ottawa, Montreal, and Bd- monton report one trend in common, Shoppers are more selective. Edmonton finds more people looking for quality merchandise, indicating dollar volume will probably be hi 'ye' than a year ago. Household appliances are popular, a reflection of the fact that many more new houses were built in Edmonton this year than last, Storekeepers in Montreal, where sales are running ahead of 1960, say they feel their big advertising campaigns have been justified by evidence that shoppers come in knowing what they want to buy, Department stores :n Ottawa forecast sales about the same as last pe ar, with the lack of snow de ying the start of the big rush, n contrast, good weather in Winnipeg is given by some merchants as a reason for a heavy run of early shopping. Sales compare favorably with a year ago, There is some pref- erence for practical gifts such as transistor radios, stereo- phonic equipment and clothing, especially men's sport shirts, DISCOUNTS BOOM The big story. in Toronto is sales by discount houses, many REPORT FROM U.K. Family's History Traced By Sandys By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- In between his heavy duties as secretary for Commonwealth Relations and the many trips he has to make to various parts of the Com- monwealth in pursuance of these duties, Rt. Hon. Duncan San- dys is about to undertake a rather elaborate task on his own account, He is going to endeavor to trace his ancestry back over a period of 348 years. He intends to make a pilgrimage to -the tiny Kent village of Northbourne, near Deal, to trace a family link with one of the local church sidesmen. This new interest on the part of Mr. Sandys has arisen as the result of a visit which he made to Northbourne recently. At that time, he officiated at the unveiling and dedication of a tablet to one of his ancestors, Sir Edwin Sandys. Sir Edwin is known in the history of the American colonies as the found. er of what is now. the state of Virginia. FAMILY LINKS : On that occasion, Mr. San- dys met Mr. Ernest Files, one BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO J. C. Anderson, KC, well- known Oshawa. barrister and prominent figure in the civic affairs of the city, was appoint- ed Judge for the County of Hastings to succeed Judge Charles A. Cameron. Hobbs Glass Co. of Toronto purchased the land and build- ings at Simcoe Street South and Elm Street to open a branch here. Norman Down was re-elected president of the South Ontario Temperance Federation at its convention in King Street Unit- ed Church. Court Oshawa 501, Canadian Order of Foresters, elected Charles Ferguson to the office of Chief Ranger for 1947. The Oshawa Kiwanis Club en- tertained more than 90 Junior Farmers of the district. Offi- cials of the South Ontario Agri- cultural Society were honored guests at the event. William Davidson, Whitby's _mayor-elect for 1947, resigned as president of the Whitby Chamber of Commerce and Sam Peake, a member of the 1946 council, was elected by ac- clamation to succeed him. An announcement was made by the Quinte District Seed Growers' Association that it would bold its annual seed fair here in March of next year. E. J. Carlton and P. J. John- ston, Oshawa employees of Can- ada. Bread Co. Ltd., were hon- ored by the firm, having com- pleted 25 years' service. At a meeting of the Board of Education a committee was ap- pointed composed of Dr. F. J, Donevan, L. M. Souch; J. L, Beaton, Rev. P. Coffey, A. E. O'Neill and W. Gordon Bunker, to interview architects for a proposed nem High School. The Public Library Board made further plans for taking over the library at Simcoe Hall as a branch library. Harold Luke was re-elected president of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association -for the 1946-47 season. Warren A. Miller of North- minster United Church was an Oshawa delegate to the 26th Session of the Ontario Older oo Parliament in London, int, of the sidesmen of the church. In conversation, he learned that one of Mr. Files' forbears was a sidesman at the same church at the time when Sir Edwin Sandys, who is buried in the churchyard there, was giv- en the grant of the Manor of Northbourne 348 years ago. Mr, Files told Mr, Sandys: "TI have all the old records of the village, right from that time all down through the years until the present day. It is quite amazing to think that my family knew your family nearly three and @ half centur- ies ago." ; Recently, six new bungalows for the old people of North- bourne were built, and they were named after Mr. Files in recognition of his many years - service to the little commu- nity. RETURN VISIT Mr, Sandys. was intrigued the wealth of aeons placed before him by Mr. Files. Before he left, he promised to return and visit Mr. Files at his picturesque cottage on the outskirts of the village, so that he can continue his studies of the old records in his posses- sion, in an effort to trace the links of the two families dat- ing back for 348 years. Sir Edwin Sandys was born in 1561 and died in 1629. He was a son of Edwin Sandys, then Archbishop of York and entered parliament in 1586 as the member for Andover. In 1603 he was knighted, but 18 years later, when at the height of his career, he was sentenced to 12, months in the Tower of London. The record does not indicate the reason for his imprisonment. The south aisle of North- bourne Church, which houses the tablet which was recently unveiled by the secretary for Commonwealth relations, will now in future be known as the Sandys Memorial Chapel. of which have been set up around the city's perimeter in the last year, Since most of the discounts are experiencing their first Christmas. season, they have nothing to compare with. But one outlet, with nine stores in Ontario, says business is 30 per cent ahead of its projected estimate. The Grey Cup football Dec, 2 practically knock Saturday out of the po season and the weather in Tor- onto has been so mild that the panic buying: is late in start. ing. But the established depart- ment stores say sales are good, All three big Vancouver de- partment stores figure to match last year's good volume al- though it's not likely to coms pare with 1958, 'described by one manager as the tail end of the B.C. boom. One spur to buy- ing is that Teor players and records are cheaper than @ year 'ago. Shoppers in Saint John, N.B., got an early start and Novem- ber volume was higher. The early part of Deceather wasn't as brisk but the over - all trend is toward an increase in buying @ over a year ago, LOSS-LEADERS Some Saint John stores have turned to loss-leaders -- items sold at less than cost -- to pull .the customers in. The result is that competitors have been forced to follow suit. Other than this, however, prices are about the same as a year ago, The big rush is late starting in Halifax because the shipping season, an important factor in the port's economy, is barely getting under way and many people haven't the money for their purchases. An official of the Board of Frade says sales are as brisk as last year--a bumper season. Stores in the Charlottetown @rea feel shopping traffic is down a little from a year ago, partly because of the absence of frost or snow. In St. John's, Nfld, volume is expected to be much higher than last Chiristmas- which was regarded as a poor shopping season. Again, however, it's not expected to reach the propor- tions of the 1958 boom One merchant said the 1060 drop was partj%caused by the fact that sales staffs were worn out by two weeks of late-night shopping before the big rush started. This year merchants have cut the early night selling to one week. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM If you are fond of eating, eat sparingly, so as to add more years to your life in which to enjoy eating.
