She Oshawa Zines [ Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Experts Debate Merits Of Canadian Dollar Peg Economists, financial experts, even benk presidents are arguing about the merit, or otherwise, of pegging the Cana- dian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar. President Allan T. Lambert of the Toronto Dominion Bank thinks our dollar should be pegged at a fixed rate or, even better, set formally within a narrow range of rates. He argues that this would permit Canadian producers to plan ahead, to develop domestic sources of supply, to quote firm prices without the risk that an unforeseen shift in the exchange market might undermine operations; and it would dampen specu- lation in foreign exchange. Neil J. McKinnon, president of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, has grave reservations about pegging the dollar, His point is that we have had previous experience in this and found it impossible in 1946, again in 1949 and again in 1950. He says: "Once an announcement about a stabilization point is made, there are many forces in the market that might work against it, but if our exchange fund retains complete flexibility, it will likely, in due course, be able to bring about a de facto stability at some appropriate level." The Financial Post comments that in reaching a solution to the dollar di- lemma, these particularly Canadian facts of life should be given much pro- minence: Periodic and massive inpour+ ings of foreign capital can put great upward pressure on Canada's dollar; we are a nation which, for its prosperity, depends more than most on exports, and a periodic decline in the dollar can add new vigor when it is most needed. So if to spur the Canadian economy into faster growth it is decided to peg the dollar at a discount, it may be that Canada's best interests lie in getting the International Monetary Fund to allow us to let the dollar fluctuate within a generously wide range on either side of the pegged price. However sharp the argument about pegging may get, there is general agree- ment that the discount dollar, pegged or unpegged, is good for business. Experiment In Teaching Canadian teachers of languages will undoubtedly be watching with keen in- terest an experiment recently started in public schools in Denmark. In this experiment, almost 3,000 Danish children are being taught English by a variety of methods -- the aim being to discover which method is the most efficient. Even children of seven or eight years are thus taught, and are learning English even before they have fully mastered their own tongue. The new plan to have children speak English, and not merely believe they can do so -- an error common to stu- dents of languages -- stems from dis- satisfaction on the part of educators with traditional methods, and from re- cent legislation which constitutes English a "second language" compulsory for all school children. Under the new teaching system nothing but English is spoken in the classrooms. One school board has even imported teachers from Britain for the job. Up to 70,000 Danish children are to have English lessons each year. In the present tests are 125 classes and nearly 3,000 children with three methods being used. The first group starts English in the fourth class, when children are nine to 10 years old, with lessons lasting one hour. The second starts at the same age, but provides both half and full hour teaching. In the third group, children begin to study English in second class when they are about seven or eight. Grammar is ignored at the beginning, Children who later will study the lan- guage at a university begin on the gram- mar when the right time comes along-- after the language can be spoken. Enclaves And All That India's seizure of Portuguese Goa has left the map with only a dozen such foreign pockets within the borders of sovereign nations. But exactly what kind of territory Goa was before the Indian army invaded it recently is a difficult question, even for the geograph- ers of the National Geographic society. News reports from the scene and the society's press release refer to the former colony as an "enclave," which Webster defines as a tract of land sur- rounded by the territory of another nation. Webster also gives this same definition to the word "exclave." According to the geographers, the ex- perts recognize normal exclaves, pene- exclaves, quasi-exclaves, virtual exclaves and temporary exclaves. There were only four exclaves in the world in 1959 and Goa was not on the list. The four bits of land, all under 10 square miles and with fewer than 1,500 people, were located in Europe. They were: Baarle, a Belgian town in Holland; Campione, an Italian town in Switzer- land; Llivia, a Spanish town in France, and Busingen, a' German town in Switzer- land. She Oshawa Fines T.

A pene-exclave, the society reported, is @ part of one country that can be ap- proached conveniently only through another country. Quasi-exclaves are ex- claves which do not function, virtual exclaves are areas like the Vatican which are treated as exclaves but aren't, and temporary exclaves are territories like west Berlin. Both the American state department and the British colonial office get huffy these days when you mention the words enclave or exclave in connection with the Panama Canal zone or Hong Kong, David Burnham writes from Washing- ton. "Spokesman for both institutions insist that neither the zone nor the crown colony could be considered enclaves. "'Hong Kong,' a clipped voice at the embassy said, 'is not an enclave. It is an absolute part of the empire' "T wouldn't call the canal an en- clave, a state department official drawled. 'The zone is an effective part of the United States but Panama has re- sidual sovereignty.' " Other Editors' Views FOR LACK OF A FOOT (Hamilton Spectator) A film is being made of the life of T. E. Lawrence, desert hero of the First World War. The title role is being play- ed by a six-foot Irishman. One of. the main obstacles to the real Lawrence's joining the army was his height. . . he was only five feet tall. In the end, special influence was needed to get him into the services. Lack of inches had a powerful effect on Lawrence's character, as it probably had on Napoleon's. But for film producers, what does a mere foot in a man's height matter?

MOLNER "Dear Dr. Molner: I have been taking blood thinner pills, but I now seem to have many black and blue marks. Could this be from thinning my blood? -- Anx- ious." Yes, it could be. I think it's more accurate to think in terms of the blood "clotting more slowly" than "thinning." But that's a technical quibble, I ad- mit. A black and blue spot, or a bruise, is simply the visible evi- dence that some bleeding has occurred under the skin. A bump breaks some of the tiny capillaries, or almost invisible small branches of the blood ves- sels. ll If the tiny break closes over quickly, there is little or no bruise. If the break closes slowly, then somewhat more blood seeps into the tissues and that makes the "blue" mark. I urge you to see your doctor promptly to have the dosage of the drug adjusted. (A "'prothom- bin test," or "clotting test' is the technical method used at in- tervals to avoid this sort of "bruising" while the "blood- thinner" drugs are in use. HAS 'STOMACH' "Dear Dr. Molner: Over the past year I have sud- denly become conscious of a 'stomach.' I-am 50. I have gained some weight and. I certainly am not happy over REPORT FROM U.K. Disease Feared _ In Import Herd By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The British gov- ernmcnt's experiment of import- ing a herd of 31 bulls of the Charollais breed from France to test their value in crossing with dairy cows to irfiprove beef pro- duction have got off to a dis- asirous start. These 31 bulls were bought in France at a cost of some $85,000 and were brought to Britain and placed in a quarantine station. A few days after arrival, one of them died. Then a week or so later, three of them developed a disease known as leptospirosis, a rare infection with symptoms of high fever and jaundice. These three animais gave positive reactions to tests for this disease. They were accordingly destroyed on government order. This unfortunate occurrence has cast suspicion on the whole experiment, and the government is being subjected to strong pressure to destroy the remain- ing animals of the herd. These 27 animals are being held in quarantine for an _ additional three months to see if they de- to do the job for which they caine BREEDERS ANXIOUS Scottish beef cattle breeders, however, are not satisfied. They have sent a telegram to the minister of agriculture demand- ing the immediate slaughter of the 2/7 remaining Charollais bulis. The telegram stressed that such action was "impera- tive in the interests of our na- tionai herds." These Scettish breeders have expressed great concern about the effect on prospective over- seas purchasers of animals at future Perth bull sales. The tele- gram to Mr. Soames was sent by the Beef Shorthorn Cattle So- ciety and the Highland Cattle Society. The Galloway Cattle Society sent a similar telegram to John S. Maclay, secretary for Scot- lard A spokesman for the ministry of agriculture admitted that sev- era} other questions on the sub- ject were down on the order paper for Mr. Soames to answer. the matronly look it gives me. "Do certain foods cause fat to center on_ the stomach and bosom?--Mrs. E.M.S." My matronly madam, allow me to tell you, as brutally as I know how, that fat (and cal- ories) are stupid old chemicals that have no discrimination whatsoever. - If we eat 'em, they go where calories usually go. There's some modest difference from one person to another, but the hips, the abdomen, and the bosom are the first places where excess calories (or ex- cess calories (or excess weight) prefer to settle. After that-- other places. There are no special foods you can eat that will settle in one place rather than another. And since foods are so stupid, I guess it's up to us to do the thinking for them. They have no artistic talent as to where to go--we'll just have to stop eat- ing too much of the foods that turn into fat. FOOD FOR AGED "Dear Dr. Molner: My mother is 78 and says she read that people over 70 should eat cold meat for lunch. Also she will not eat eggs. I don't think one a day will harm her.--Mrs. P.W." Of course an egg a day won't hurt her, and she has been mis- informed about the meat, too. The real reason may be that she finds lunch meats easier to chew. Perhaps cutting up her meat for her may settle this is- sue. "Dear Dr. Molner: Please explain Laennec cirrhosis. Is there a known cause? Could it be the result of ruptured esophageal varices? Can this be cancer?--R.S." Laennec's cirrhosis is the same disorder commonly called cirrhosis of the liver or portal cirrhosis. There is a scarring and shriveling of the liver. While chronic alcoholism is regarded as a common cause, there are others not involving drink at all--an infection or re- peated irritation of the liver, poisoning of the liver, and often deficient -nutrition. Because, circulation within the liver is impared, varicose veins can develop in the lower part of the gullet or esophagus, and these are called "esophageal varices"--a result, rather than a cause. No, cirrhosis is NOT cancer, although cancer can de- velop in a liver that is: affected by this disease. But it can also develop in livers that don't have the disease. BY-GONE DAYS velop any signs of the d If tney prove negative, then the original purpose of sending them out for experimental testing will go ahead. ACTION REFUSED When the subject was raised in the House of Commons, Christopher Soames, minister of agriculture, refused to call off the whole experiment in spite of strong protests which were made. Some of the members feared there was a danger to British livestock because of. the intection found in three of the bulls. Sir James Duncan, gov- eriment member from Angus, Scotland, declared it would be better to send the remaining 27 animais back to France. Said ' Sir James: "Will you regard this as an object lesson in case we join the Common Market? There will be a real danger to animal health unless some real cast- iron safeguards are included." Mr. Soames agreed that if Bri.ain joined the Common Mar- ket an important feature of the arrangements will have to be the safeguarding of animal health in this country. He said the disease was only discovered when British experts examined the animals. But he saw no rea- son why, after being kept in quarantine for a longer period, the bulls should not be released 20 YEARS AGO Ernest Parsons was appointed magistrate's clerk of the Osh- awa Police Court to succeed A. E. Sparks. Dr. W. H. Gifford was elected Mayor of Oshawa by accla- mation and all members of the 1941 city council who stood for re-election were returned for another term. E. A. Lovell and Stephen Saywell were re-elected to the Oshawa Board of Education by acclamation for a term of two years while A. R. Alloway and H. P. Hart were elected to the Board for the first time. Other members of the Board were Mrs. B. C, Colpus, W. E. Babe, Dr. F. J. Donevan, Jack Naylor and Dr. §S. J. Phillips. Ernest Marks was the.Separate School representative. The Oshawa Bell Telephone Exchange building, Victoria Street, was undergoing exten- sive alterations and additions to cope with the expansion of business in the district. The ex- change handled about 6400 tele- phones n the city. The Oshawa Horticultural So- ciety held its regular monthly meeting in the auditorium of Centre Street School with Presi- dent Richard Branton presiding. For the first' time since 1929 Oshawa went over the million- dollar mark in building. The 558 permits that were valued at $1,057,464 included 136 new homes, with seven plant ad- ditions and 11 business places included in the list. Keith Gahan was installed as president of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club to succeed Howard Kerr. William McCabe and Ernest Cay were respectively inducted into the positions of first and second vice-presidents. Rev. George Telford, mnister of St. Andrew's United Church, Oshawa, gave an inspiring ad- dress at the Week of Prayer service at St. John's Chruch, Port Whitby Long service in the cause of education by three trustees of the 1942 Board of Education was recognized; E, A. Lovell had served .on the board for 18 years, Dr. F. J. Donevan and Mrs. B. C.-Colpus 16 and 11 consecutive years respectively.

Withholding of news at the source proved to be the most common obstacle by reporters. It was worst in Communist countries where of- ficial sources rarely make themselves available. But bu- reaucracy made things difficult in Western capitals such as London, Paris and Washington. Each year Associated Press correspondents around the world report on the status of press censorship and other con- ditions affecting the flow of news across international boundaries. WESTERN EUROPE Censorship at the source was ractised strenuously in rance, particularly in regard to developments on the Alger- ian revolt and efforts to resolve it by negotiation. In Algeria it- self officials withheld informa- tion unless it suited their pur- pose to release it. Foreign cor- respondents were warned they faced danger of expulsion if they carried interviews with former Gen. Raoul Salan or any member of the secret army opposing President de Gaulle's Algerian policy. Spain's domestic press re- mained under strict censorship but some signs of 'a more li- beral policy appeared when newspapers were permitted for the first time to report such items as the imprisonment of a senior Franco government of- ficial for corruption in office, or trials of Basque nationalists for anti-Franco activities. For- eign correspondents in Madrid can file dispatches freely but are often called on the carpet by government officials for stories published abroad. In West Germany all shades of political opinion except Com- munist found expression in the newspapers. Communist publi- i EASTERN EUROPE The Soviet Union abolished direct censorship on Western reporters and they were able to pick up a telephone and call their offices or cable their dis- patches unchecked. Responsi- bility censorship remained. Some correspondents were at- tacked in the Soviet press for their manner of reporting. Some American, French and Italian newspaper men were warned they faced expulsion unless they changed their reporting. In another form of. pressure the Moscow correspondent for the Paris newspaper Figaro was sent home not because of what hé had written, but be- cause of what his newspaper had published. Removal of direct censorship did not transform the Soviet Union into any kind of open society. Correspondents were still walled off from almost all direct contact wiht news sources, especially high - level ones. But Western reporters in Mos- cow could write freely about touchy subjects such as inter- nal politics and relations with Peking. Censorship was still in force for Soviet reporters and those from Communist - bloc countries. The Soviet press re- mained under tight control. There was no direct censor- ship of foreign newspaper men in Hungary but they could be expelled if they displeased the government, Poland continued to permit Western newspaper men more freedom of action than enjoyed in other Communist-bloc coun- tries, but they were held re- sponsible for their dispatches under threat of being expelled for violating vaguely defined ground rules set up by the gov- ernment. AFRICA In general the countries of Africa have no formal censor- ship but there are disturbing developments in some of the newly independent countries. Senegal requires foreign re- porters in Dakar to submit dis- patches for reading by offi- cials prior to transmission. Thus far there have been no reported deletions. Ghana took strong exception to correspondents who incurred displeasure oi government offi- cials. Three British correspond- ents and one American were charged with sending "'obnox- ious and tendentious'" reports. Two of the British reporters were ordered out of the country. THE MIDDLE EAST Censorship, either acknow- ledged or hidden, prevailed in every Middle East country. It was mildest in Lebanon and toughest in Iraq. The AP correspondent in Iran was punished by loss of filing privileges for a week because he insisted upon sending what he personaliy witnessed in a demonstration in which injuries were suffered by strkers. Only officially announced and strictly routine items come through the Iraqi censorship. Censors zo longer occupied chairs in the editorial rooms of Cairo newspapers, but the gov- ernment exercised absolute con- trol over the domestic press. Dispatches of foreign corre- spondents were subjected to blind censorship. FINE CLOCK DERBY, England (CP)--Four tons of clockface and works left a factory here for Kuwait, to be installed in a 120-foot tower-that dominates the new, palace of the Sheik of Kuwait. With the £3,000 clock went instructions on' how to fit it into the tower. encountered for The military government censorshi: a tough ip in Sudan, while the situation in Syria since it split with the United Arab Republic was con- fused; dispatches were held up for hours. In Israel all copy intended local publication or for transmission abroad was sub- ject to military censorship which could delete items for so- called security reasons. Foreign correspondents got a free hand in Turkey. Times of iurmoil invariably bring censorship to Latin Amer- ica and 1961 was no exception. Both Brazilian and foreign newspaper men got a taste of it when former president Janio Quadros closed down radio sta- tions and sought to intimidate a critical and non-subservient press. He threatened to expel foreign reporters and close their offices. Responsibility censorship heighiened in Chile, where a Chilean correspondent for Time magazine was jailed four days on government charges that he wrote stories published by Time that were harmful to the coun- try's security and reputation. The charges eventually were dropped. Argentina remained free of censoiship restrictions but one weekly was closed and the edi- tur jailed on charges that he instigated his readers against the government. Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Mexico, Venezuela, Costa Rica were among countries where a free press operated. Foreign correspondents filed freely from the Dominican Re- public after the overthrow of the Trujillo regime. Cuba exercised iron control over all newspapers, maga- zines, radio and TV stations. Outgoing news was under se- vere censorship. During anti- Castro riots starting in front of a church in September Western correspondents were cut off TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan. 9, 1962... Sir Anthony Eden resigned as Britain's prime minister five years ago today--in 1957--after almost two years in office. Il health was given as the reason but it was generally ascribed to the reacticn to Britain's role in the Suez invasion. 1793--The first balloon ascen- sion in the United States was made at Philadelphia by Jean Pierre Blanchard of France. 1953--Mrs. Arthur Pitre, Que- bec widow, was hanged in Mont- real for her part in the 1949 plot to place a bomb aboard an airliner which killed 23 persons. Her brother Albert Guay and watchmaker Albert Genereux Ruest were hanged previously. ee ae ys. Cables considered harmful to the Cuban revolution were stopped at the cable office. Changes were made in copy without informing correspond- ents. Until two months ago the worc Communist was changed to Socialist. Transmission of picwures by wire was not per- mitted. SOUTHEAST ASIA The censorship situation brightened somewhat in South- east Asia, where a. determined group of editors in Burma forved the government to relax its restrictions. After a series of arrests and one shutdown the press struck back in November. On Nov. 6 all Rangoon newspapers and so.ne in the provinces carried identical stories under identical bannerlines: '"Repressive laws, Peisonal spite restrict freedom of the press." On the next day the newspapers came out with blank editorial columns, Premier U Nu quickly prom- ised repeal of long - standing restrictive press laws. The newspapers promised a more responsible press under a self- policing action by a committee of journalists. In Laos, the pro - Western right-wing government of Prince Boun Oum lifted a cen- sorsh1p on foreign correspond- ents that had been erratic and incunsistent rather than rigor- ous. Malaya, Japan, India and the Philippines enjoyed freedom of the press. In Indonesia, all newspapers and news agencies were under absolute government control that was sometimes capricious. While there was little direct censorship, foreign correspond- enis were required to file an exira copy of all dispatches. Cambodia did not censor out- going dispatches but foreign newspaper men found govern- meni' officials reluctant to talk. In South Viet Nam, a new government public relations pol- icy permitted more freedom for foreign correspondents. Strict government controls re- inained on Thailand's press, but theie was no direct censorship of ouigoing dispatches. Pakistan did not censor out- going dispatches, but under the martial law regime the govern- ment held strong powers to regulate the press. '"Treason- ous' publication can be pun- ished by death, but such se- verity was not applied. The editcrs exercised strict self-cen- sorship and little criticism of the government appeared. In Afhanistan, foreign corre- spondents were free to cable what they wished. Ceylon operated under a state of emergency proclaimed last April. All outgoing dispatches required initialing by a censor. Cnly two Western correspond- ents were stationed in Red China. The threat of expulsion hung over their heads if they filea a report displeasing to the Communist regime, Few corre- spondents were granted entry visas for short-term stays, The Nationalist Chinese gov- ernment on Formosa did not censor outgoing dispatches, but efforts were made to control news at the source. OTTAWA REPORT Fine Book Tells Story Of Ottawa By PATRICK NICHOLSON A very wonderful new book tells Canadians about a very wonderful ciiy--named Ottawa. Wilfrid Eggleston, one of Can- ada's most learned journalists, was commissioned by the Na- tional Capital -Commission to write this 150-year history of Ot- tawa, its choice as the seat of our government, and the steps taken and planned to refashion it into a worthy national capi- tal. The Queen's Choice, published by the Queen's Printer at Ot- tawa for $6, is handsomely bound in white, profusely illus- trated with both coloured and black - and - white photographs, and reproductions of etchings, maps and manuscripts. It even includes a facsimile of the man- uscript order-in-council, signed by Prime Minister Laurier and Governor-General Lord Minto, which set up the first commis- sioner to supervise the conver- sion of this "sub-Arctic lumber- ing village" into an impressive Capital. BLESSED BY NATURE Nature fashioned a_breath- taking site, with high cliffs overlooking 'the confluence of the sweeping Gatineau Hills, purple at sunset, flaming red in the fall, and white all winter. Man has added impressive buildings and shocking shacks, beautiful driveways and sordid streets. The multicolored maples which line many avenues are entangled with unsightly utili- ties' wires; the brilliant dsplay ofthe northern lights is outshone by the garish neon advertise- ments for numberless money- lenders. The rivers, whose harn- essed power first attracted set- tlement, once provided swim- ming pool and fishing paradise for man and boy; today are polluted by man and indus- try; the pine-scented air is often acrid or nauseating with the stench of sewage or industry. There is much to be cured in Ottawa. But this quiet, easy - going, home - centred community fills its residents with affection, just as its lack of public entertain- ment fills the visitor wth bore- dom but its majesty and cere- mony. delights the tourist. To Wilfrid Eggleston, long a resi- degt of Ottawa, his task must haye been a labor of love; as no doubt the production of this very fine sample of the printer's art must have been a labor of love to Roger Duhamel, the Queen's Printer. To all readers, the first and second sections of the Queen's Choice will prove fascinating, with their account of the early settlement and its first days as our Capital--with 264 civil serv- ants! The third section fully de- scribes the famous Greber Plan for developing and beautifying Ottawa. FATHER OF OTTAWA Many Canadians will learn with surprise that an immigrant from Perth, Scotland, named Thomas MacKay left an even bigger mark than Colonel By, for whom it was first named Bytown. MacKay was one of the builders of the Lachine Canal; then he was invited by By to assist in building the canal locks which still operate--be- tween Parliament Hill and the Chateau Laurier Hotel. Mac- Kay later acquired much "wild land" to the east of Bytown; there he built up New Edin- burgh, dominated by 'Mac- Kay's Castle' which he pre- ferred to call Rideau Hail. Many additions have been made to convert his castle.into today's Government House, official res- idence of our Governor General. Mr. Eggleston faithfully re- ports the disputations, now nearly 100 years old and still going strong, as to whether the National Capital Area should be constituted as a federal district, subject to the authority of the Federal Parliament alone--such as Washington is. The problems of the present division of au- thority, between the federal gov- ernment and the municipal council, are manifold, and point they the obvious answer. For ex- ample, while federal inspiration attempts to recreate "A Mile of History," municipal greed and short-sightedness permits an his- toric old grey stone hotel to be torn down to make way for a garish filling station on that "mile." The Queen's Choice is a needed task laudably fulfilled by author and publisher. It de serves a place in every Cana- dian public library; the pity is that its price will preclude it from appearing in every Cana- dan home. U
