Tye Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Unrest And Uncertainty Shown In Vote Results Today is the day for postmor- tems, the day when political pundits start their explanations of what went wrong in Monday's election. The ex- planations will be going on for quite a while. It was. an election which nobody could really cheer about. The Con- servatives saw their big majority slashed and hacked by the other par- ties, so that they form a minority government. The Liberals made a recovery in Quebec and substantial gains in Ontario, but still fell far short of regaining power at Ottawa. The Social Credit made the most startling showing of all, but it was virtually all in one province, which does little to strengthen the Socred claim to being a national party. The New Democrats increased both their seats and their share of the popular vote, but fell back to fourth place among the parties and failed to elect their leader. It might be called an election of half-successes and half- failures. The result was undoubtedly a reflection of the dissatisfaction, often vague, and uncertainty of the voters. But while they were not happy about the Diefenbaker administration, they were not much happier about alter- natives, and no party program was strong enough to attract them in de- cisive numbers. The result in an uncertain polit- ical situation which can only be re- solved by another general election. There will be talk about coalition during the next few weeks, but the big question will be the date of the next test at the polls. A minority government must necessarily be a weak and uncertain government, Sooner, rather than later, it must face the electorate again to resolve an intolerable situation. The result in Ontario riding was no surprise. Michael Starr, personable and capable, had too great a personal following and too strong an organiz- ation to be toppled. High Accident Rate Canada's death rate per 100,000 of population is substantially higher than that of the Scandinavian coun- tries and The Netherlands. That does not mean that Canadians are more subject to disease or not as well fed or not as well treated by their doc- tors as the Scandinavians. What it means is that Canadians are more prone to accidents, particularly traf- fic accidents. If a reduction in the accidental death rate comparable to the reduction achieved in the natural death rate over the past 30 years could be achieved, the Canadian rate would challenge that of the Scandin- avian countries. Accidents currently cause more than 9,000 deaths a year in Canada, a rate of some 54 per 100,000 popula- tion. Almost 75 per cent of the vic- tims are males. Among males, acci- dents account for more than a third No Ads And Whenever someone wants to take a poke at the "affluent society" and the system that has produced it, he generally starts by attacking adver- tising -- not some advertising, or specific advertisements, but advertis- ing in general. This type of person does not believe, apparently, that there should be a market-place, for that is what advertising is; if he does not believe in the market-place, he cannot believe in competition between vendors;.and without competition; there can only be monopoly. Mono- polies, of course, do not need to ad- vertise; their operators can say, "Buy or do without." One pointed answer to the knockers of advertising came recently from J. Edward Dean, advertising director of the Du Pont company, who said: "Many of advertising's critics fail to look beyond the immediate target. They are of type that we might call 'shotgun critics'. The shotgun critic attacks without consideration of either consequences or alternatitives . « . Would the critics of advertising have us abandon the competition process? Some of them are possibly so wedded to the idea of government controls that they would like to see She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

Motor vehicle accidents are by far the most frequent cause of acci- dental death for both males and fe- males under 65. For males, annual death rates from all causes have dropped from just under 1,200 per 100,000 popula- tion in 1940 to just under 950. The average age of males who died in Canada was 39 in 1921, 52 in 1940, and better than 58 now. But it is the successful struggle against disease that has accounted for this longer average life span. If the same success could be achieved in the struggle for safety, particularly highway safety, the figures would be even more re- assuring.

The lady with the shopping bag may be startled at times by the shrill tones bidding for her attention, but I have never known her to object so long as she got a bargain." There are monopoly. countries, where state businesses do not need to advertise. There the consumers are spared the alleged horrors of adver- tising. It is no coincidence that they are also spared the goods that, would be advertised, say, in Oshawa. Other Editors' Views OTHERS FIRST (Brantford Expositor) Human sympathy for the unfor- tunate is commendable, but it would be unwise to indulge in over-senti- mentalizing the Chinese refugee situ- ation at Hong Kong. We may be our brother's keeper, but there are other brothers who have a more compelling duty in this case-- the Big Brother in Peking and the Big Brother in Moscow. Let them manifest their fraternal concern first. Is this so callous or unreasonable a request? Bible Thought Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall--I. Corinthians 10:12. History verifies that pride precedes a fall, and vanity poorly covers our deficiency. Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ. -- I. Corinthians 1171. Our lives can be a bright light that directs or a dim light that confuses followers. « THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE YOUR HEALTH Plantar's Warts Caused By Virus By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Are plantar warts contagious? What can be done to get rid of them? My husband has them. MRS. E.O. Excuse my being technical, but it's plantar and not planter. It means warts on the plantar, or sole of the feet. We know that in general these warts seems to be virus-caused and they can be spread through showers, bathroom floors, etc. | would increase the size. * much would hormones enlarge Therefore I recommend that people with such warts never walk around barefoot, but use shower clogs, gp slippers. There are different ways to remove the warts, such as with an electric needle, paring, or x-ray. Podiatrists may use strong acid solutions or possibly the injec- tion of a solution into the wart roots. Dear Dr. Molner: I have un- QUEEN'S PARK Work And Training For Welfare Cases By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The deputy min- ister of welfare, James Band, has suggested that perhaps men on relief should be compelled to take vocational training. Aside from the point that this is obviously a good idea--for the majority of those on public welfare are the unskilled--the fact that Mr. Band says "'per- haps" they should be trained iMlustrates one of the unusual facets of our welfare picture. This is that because of the historical opposition to the wel- fare state the community is hin- dered from receiving full ad- vantage from it. For instance although some communities have wanted to receive work in return for wel- fare payments -- and though most of those receiving the pay- ments would probably prefer this, if only for the self-respect it gave them--this has not been permitted. The principal reason it hasn't been is that there might be a possible conflict with private endeavor. FREE ENTERPRISE Eventually, 'of course, will right itself. With practical people such as Mr. Band, and his minister, Hon. Louis Cecile, leading the way in welfare it will even- tually arrive at a more down- to-earth status. The reason it hasn't before now is principally that in terms of the time it takes for the de- velopment of society it is still relatively new. It also would help, however, if we could get clarified in our minds just what we mean by a "free enterprise' society--that system to which we pay so much lip service and under- stand so little. For this probably is the great- est single block to a more rapid development to a practi- cal welfare program, as to other fields of social endeavor. Not knowing really what "free enterprise" means, and TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 19, 1962... Robert Semple, governor- in-chief of the Hudson's Bay Territories, was killed 146 years ago today --in 1816-- in the Seven Oaks massacre when the Red River settle- ment was attacked and de- stroyed by men of the North West Company. Nineteen of his. men died with him in the fight with some 60 Metis led by Cuthbert'Grant. 1855--France's gift to the United States, the Statue of Liberty, arrived in New York. this what area it should cover, its ardent advocates get gun shy at any number of steps which to them appear "'socialistic." And while their efforts to yell them down don't usually succeed they often do hamper them so much that they end up with large waste--as in the case of our welfare payments. GET ANSWER? It is notable that the Cana- dian Chamber of Commerce, which some time ago got started on a promotion cam- paign for "free enterprise" has now called it off, at least tem- porarily. This campaign was particu- larly stupid. It obviously was being run by people who had no concept of the function of government today and of the place of free enterprise in it. Anybody running such a cam- paign has a job of thinking to do first. They must think out just what the proper position of "free enterprise" is in 1962. If they do this, and then run an intelligent campaign, they could be doing a favor to our whole society. usually small breasts and I've tried creams and other things but have had no good results so far. I have a medical book prescribed by a doctor and it says large doses of hormones How them? MRS. D.G. Creams and other patent "remedies" won't help. I don't know what you mean by a book' "prescribed" by a doctor. Hormone treatment, ex- pertly controlled, doubtless will aid in cases in which there is a real and severe endocrine im- balance, but that means a lot more than just the size of the breasts. Don't monkey with hor- mones except under a special- ist's supervision. The effective methods are (1) stand up straighter; (2) add a bit of weight; (3) often after the first baby arrives, you plump up. Dear Dr. Molner: I am a 17- year-old girl. Is it true that when your kidneys don't func- tion properly it can throw your whole system off? My kidneys bothered me for a year but I didn't know they were infected until recently. I am also very nervous. Could the kidneys cause nervousness, or vice versa? B.B. Yes, it's true that kidney dis- ease can throw your body's chemistry out of whack. Urinary frequency or distress doesn't necessarily mean faulty kidney function. It can be due to plain nervousness. Or (par- ticularly at your age) it may be due rather to a bladder infec- tion. There may, indeed, be some kidney ailment (such as pyelonephritis) but this doesn't mean that the kidneys can't or don't function. These days, with antibiotics and other means, such infections are customarily controlled long before they in- terfere with the kidneys. Dear Dr. Molner: There is an adult in our family who "'pops'"' the children, pulling on a joint until it cracks. I've protested but he says it does no harm. Usually the children laugh, but our 3-year-old cried out when he "popped" her toe. Is there danger that the joints will en- large? MRS. L.W. I'm afraid the best I can say is that this is a rather sense- less indoor sport. I see no good coming from it, and would stop it on the grounds that it may be painful and can cause harm. BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Work was started on the Gray Coach Terminal on Prince street Federal Government an- nounced the rationing of sugar on July 1. A rationing system was formed in Oshawa with Ald. Hayden Macdonald as head of the organization. S. R. Bernardo succeeded Charles Robson as manager of the Ontario County Flying Training School. T. K. Creigh- ton, KC, and George Hart were elected to the board of direciors. Major Watkin, officer of the Salvation Army Citadel here for four years, announced that he had received a new appoint- ment and would vacate his pos- ition at the end of June. Over 10,000 pounds of sal- vage was collected in the city during a one-day drive. The Oshawa Rotary Fair, which had been postponed due to inclement weather, was a successful event. A parade of floats featured old and new travel modes including many horse drawn vehicles. C. Eric Mason, Bruce street, was the winner of a Victory Bond. War savings stamps and cer- tificates purchased in Oshawa public schools and OQCVI, amounted to over $40,000 since the first of the new year, ac- cording to a report of T. R. Mc- Ewen, inspector of public schools. W. Alchin won first prize in all three classes exhibited at the June Flower Show of the Oshawa Horticultural Society. Rev. Kenneth Jull, son of Rev. P. L. Jull of Brooklin, was or- dained into the United Church ministry at the Bay of Quinte Conference in Lindsay. A Veterans' Plot was pre- sented by Col. R. S. McLaugh- lin and dedicated at an im- pressive ceremony at the Union Cemetery under the auspices of the Canadian Legion and GMC Veterans, Major-General J. A. Gunn_ unveiled the memorial and Rev. Sidney Lambert gave the address. Oshawa citizens donated over $1,400 to the Chinese War Re- lief Fund. W. G. Rapley, a teacher at OCVI, was announced as pay- master of the llth Reserve Army Tank Battalion. Oddfellows James _ Nors- worthy, A. B. Grandison and Mrs. Mary McLean and Mrs. Orpha Goyne of Rebekah Lodges, were named delegates to attend the annual confer- ence in Toronto. OTTAWA REPORT Extreme Claims For U.S. Travel By PATRICK NICHOLSON Can you enjoy a holiday tour of USA for $14 a day? The United States Travel Service is running a mammoth advertising campaign to lure European tourists, with the promise that on this budget "you will have a holiday which you will dine out on for the rest of your lives." "Sounds like a piece of cake," quipped one cockney planning a three-week spree in USA for less than $300. But a piece of cake is one thing he could not afford on that budget. Some of the advertised costs apear unrealistic to a Cana- dian. For example this govern- ment agency believes that in a comfortable executive-type New York hotel, a single room costs $7, and a double $10.25; break- fast in the hotel coffee shop costs 50 cents; lunch in a "Fifth Avenue department store" $1; dinner "'as little as $2.80"--tips included. For after- dark entertainment in New York, the budget-strappec tour- ist can take a ferry ride to Staten Island for a nickel. iCKS There is a varety of thrills to be had, says the US Tourist Office, ranging from seeing Con- gress in session at Washington for free, to visiting an Indian Reservation, or spending a week on a dude ranch in the Rockies for $65. And the $14 - per - day tourist will still have funds to "discover the nation's great re- gional dishes: New England clam chowder, Oysters Rocke- feller, apple pan-dowdy, Shoofly pie and Indian pudding." Its cheaper still if you start with Indian pudding; I did that once and saved the price of my next three meals. Bus comanies offer re- markable bargain for tourists: 99 days of unlimited travel for only $99. "In 15 days, I spent 8 night on one of those buses," REPORT FROM U.K. Toronto Woman Fights For Child By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A Toronto house- wife, Mrs, Sheila Lighthall, 28, has made the 3,000-miles jour- ney back to her former home in South London, and _ has arrived here an angry and de- termined woman. She has come back to London to continue her battle against red tape to adopt her little niece, Kim Blundred, aged three. For nine months this battle has been going on. During that period, little brown- eyed Kim has been passed like a doll from guardian to guardian until every woman she meets is '"'Mummy"' to her. And for nine months Mrs. Lighthall has been fighting a postal battle across the Atlan- tic for the right to adopt Kim and take her home fo Toronto, Ontario, to begin a new life. Neither the welfare authorities nor Kim's latest "Mummy", her grandmother, are able to take full responsibility for her. TANGLED CASE It has become a very tangled case. So much so that Mrs. Lighthall became impatient and booked her passage from To- ronto to England by air. She has arrived at her former home in Edward Street, Deptford, in an effort to speed things up. When She arrived she became even more impatient when she found that legal proceedings were al- most at a standstill. There are several circum- stances which complicate the case. Both of Kim's parents are deaf and dumb. Her father has been missing since Christmas, and in spite of strenuous police efforts, seems to have vanished without trace. Her mother, liv- ing at Sanderstead near Croy- don, is perfectly willing for her to go to Canada with her aunt, Mrs. Lighthall. But the fact that there is no definite knowledge as to whether the child's father is dead or alive is a barrier to the legal proceedings through which Mrs, Lighthall could adopt her niece. Mrs. Lighthall says: "I am having great difficul- ties. It would seem that every+ thing is against my being able to take Kim home with me.' The latest move which Mrs. Lighthall has made is that of applying for a passport for her niece so that she might take her to Canada for a holiday. She has the idea that in Canada the legal technicalities will not be so for- midable, and that adoption pro- ceedings would be much more simple and easily arranged than in the United Kingdom. Mrs. Lighthall is very anxious about the future welfare of her young niece. She says: "Unless something is done soon and Kim is provided with a permanent home, it may be too late. Her whole character could change. In Toronto I am sure I can give her a good and a happy life." Stronger Push By Labor For Shorter Work Week By ROBERT RICE OTTAWA (CP) -- Organized labor will put new fire into its fight for a shorter work week and more paid holidays in con- tract negotiations in the months ahead. While demands for more pay will not be abandoned, the new 1962 accent will be on reducing the hours of work. Union leaders will argue that shorter working periods and longer holidays are the simpl- est and fastest method of com- batting the impact of unem- ployment and automation. Efforts to win such gains in collective bargaining in 1961 were largely unsuccessful. There were, however, a few important break - throughs in the ladies' garment industry and the printing industry. The signal for a_ stronger drive for shorter working peri- ods was raised at the Vancou- ver conference of the Canadian Labor Congress in April. STEEL SETS PATTERN Delegates agreed that "every effort' should be made by CLC unions, which represent some 1,000,000 workers, to win "shorter work - weeks, with the same or higher take-home pay, and more holidays, in their next agreement." The pace - setting policy con- ference of the 83,000-member United Steelworkers of Amer- ica, Canada's largest single un- ion, also put new emphasis on similar demands. It said new contracts should include provisions to give long- service workers extended leaves with pay at "appropri- ately - spaced intervals" such as five, 10 and 15 years. The latest report on working conditions in Canadian industry, just made public, shows that in 1961 a work week of 40. hours or less was the standard for 72 per cent of plant workers in Canadian manufacturing. VACATIONS LONGER In 1960 the proportion was 70 per cent, while in 1956 it was only 62 per cent. Office workers in manufac- turing already have largely broken through the 40 - hour workweek barrier. Seventy per cent of them worked 3744 hours or less in 1961. The report also disclosed that "marked increases'"' took place between 1956 and 1961 in the percentage of workers who re- ceived paid vacations of three weeks. In 1961, workers in plants with three weeks' vaca- tion reached 72 per cent, com- pared with 63 per cent in 1956. Fifty - three per cent of plant workers in manufacturing held eight paid statutory holidays as a contract right last year com- pared to 52 per cent in 1956. The big change in the six-year comparison was among those with nine paid statutory holi- days. This proportion rose to 16 per cent in 1961 from eight per cent in 1956. i g 8 ues dteald at HE mile, including suranee, is the an international service for the edan. int gee # seeing, eating (but probal oysters Rockefeller) ern motel with s anne will never forget the raordinary sense of elbow room in those wide open spaces of vir- gin forest and trout - packed lakes;" there you can "' graph your first porcupine and see wild forget-me-nots."" Despite the seductive adver- tisements, the $14-per-day tour- ist is unlikely to afford the clean, modern accommodation holiday spirit, and he may find that "the great regional dishes" at the hot-dog stands within his budget taste remarkably like the goulash he eats at home. "You can't live it up at all on $14 per day, and you've got to keep food to a minimum," comments a tourist who has tried, On the other hand, if that curious and budget-bound holi- day-maker cares to sample Can. ada's wide open spaces, and sleep in modern motels -- with swimming pools in the form of trout-packed lakes nearby--and visit an Indian Reserve and photograph a beaver and its dam, he could do that comfort- ably in the enticing vacation districts, far from Cadillac Trail, or Ontario and Quebec and Prince Edward Island -- or from Nova Scotia to B.C.
