we he Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1962--PAGE 6 New Men May Provide Required New Policies Many a Canadian must be wonder- ing if Prime Minister Diefenbaker will try to emulate Britain's Prime Minister Macmillan, who has formed virtually a new cabinet in an effort to revive support of his Conservative government. Mr. Diefenbaker has just as much reason for making a drastic change in the appearance of his cabinet as. Mr. Macmillan had, but he has much more of a personnel prob- lem. Where does he find men of ability as replacements? There are not too many of them. : William Rees-Mogg, writing in the Sunday Times, suggests that the Macmillan action in dismissing or retiring seven cabinet ministers goes far beyond any reshuffle, and amounts to the deliberate' creation of a new government. "And even more signi- ficantly it is a reconstruction with a consistent pattern. There. is a great shift in power towards the men who are most aware of the issues and needs of the 1960s, and. who most strongly believe in active policies of national development." Here, too, Mr. Diefenbaker finds himself in a similar situation. The policies of the Conservatives have, in general, been a continuation of the policies of the Liberal governments of the late Forties and Fifties. But the policies of the Fifties do not meet the needs of the Sixties. There are new conditions, new factors.affecting old problems, and they call for new and imaginative policies. Can Mr. Diefenbaker and the old cabinet meet this challenge? As the Sunday Times writer states: "It requires exceptional powers both of imagination and realism for a prime minister, at any time, to get outside his own administration and see its weaknesses and its opportunities as others see them, and particularly as the emerging generation see them... By choosing the men who most ob- viously know what the modern world is about, he proves and emphasizes the contemporary quality of his own understanding." Building Universities Efforts are under way in Oshawa to build a schedule of university ex- tension courses to the point where a university will, in fact, exist in the community. It is obviously not some- thing that can be accomplished in a matter of weeks or months, but «he encouraging fact is that is has been done before in Canada and the United States. Carleton University at Ottawa was built in such fashion. A some- 'what different approach has been taken by Norwalk Community College (known there as Bootstrap College) in the city of Norwalk, Mass. Prompted by Dr. Harry Becker, the city's superintendent of schools, Nor- walk voters agreed in 1960 to the afternoor, and evening use of the Brien McMahon High School for two- year college courses, provided that tuition charges covered staff salaries and administrative expenses; local tax- payers' risk was limited to any ad- ditional cost of maintenance of the school plant. This past spring, 137 students finished their first year of college at Bootstrap U. The school is charging $450 a year for tuition. It has a faculty of 16 members, only three of whom are full-time -- the dean, and professors of English and mathematics. The part- time chemistry teacher is a qualified | man emloyed in research work in the area. A post-graduate student at Yale offers a course in Russian. Secretarial accounting is taught by a local high school principal, psychology by a local doctor otherwise employed in psych- ological research, music and biology by professors at the staffs of other universities not too distant. Local housewives who have appropriate degrees teach English, history, French, Spanish and shorthand. Access to suitable library facilities is turning out to be the main problem at Bootstrap U. In addition to its 3,400 books of high school level, the Brien McMahon library 'has 1,200 volumes suited to college use. The college has been able to spend $3,700 of its own money for books, and some anony- mous benefactor has donated another 800 volumes. Those in charge of the Norwalk College feel that if they can lick the library problem and obtain more space for administrative work, the school will be able to get along without a campus of its own for an indefinite future. There is a vast amount of money tied up in high school. facilities in Canada. If some of that plant could be employed for university purposes, even temporarily, our higher educa- ton problem might be eased consider- ably. Energy For Euromart The six nations of Western Europe that already have their Common Mar- ket, Coal-Steel Community and atomic pool known as Euratom are moving now toward another co-operative goal -- acommon market in energy. What is spurring France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Holland and Luxem- burg is: the necessity of providing cheap and secure energy resources for the economic expansion that is now under way and expected to continue. By the end of the decade, when the Common Market is scheduled to come into full operation, energy demand is expected to reach approximately 700 million tons of "coal equivalent," com- pared to 500 million tons a year now. Coal cannot be expected to meet the She Oshawa Fimes T. L. WILSON, Publisher 'C.

Indeed, coal use is expected to decline in competition with oil. The hope is to make oil readily available by eliminating national import quotas and tariffs on crude petroleum and reducing to a common low level the duties on petroleum products, such as gasoline. Many problems are involved, the Milwaukee Journal points out. France, Germany and Luxemburg are impor- tant coal producers; the others are not. France maintains tight internal con- trols over oil products. Italy is using - quantities of cheap Russian oil and probably will want more, although it is recognized that for security reasons quotas will need to be imposed on Russian oil and Polish coal. The future of atomic energy is uncertain. The problems, however, seem less complex than those which the six partners are solving as they bring their economies into line with Com- mon Market rules. The expectation must therefore be that Western Europe will have its energy. pool in the near future, too. Bible Thought From the sole of the foot eveh unto the head there is no soundness in. it; but wounds, and bruises, and ptrify- ing sores: they have not been ¢losed, neither bound up, neither méajJlified with ointment. -- Isaiah 1:6. This is a portrayal of the natural human heart without God. FS j ! | TWEEDLESOC AND TWEEDLECRED WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Kingston Suggests Curb On School Board Powers GUELPH, Mercury -- Next month the city of Kingston will be presenting a brief to the On- tario Legislature's select com- mittee on the Municipal Act and related acts. The brief. will in- corporate seven proposed amendments to existing legisla- tion. One of the most important amendments, which is vf con- cern 'o Guelph, would give city councils more control ove: edu- cation estimates at budget time In this proposal the council would have the power to reduce education estimates and in or- der to have the amount restor- ed to the estimates, the schoo! board would have to appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board within 14 days. This tug-of-war between. me nicipal councils and school boards has been attracting a great deal of public attention in recent years. Some councils have resisted demands for money and forced school boards to take legal action. As current- ly constituted, the legislation weighs in favor of the school boards. In commenting on the propos- ed application, The Sudbury Star says, 'The question that will have to be faced, debated and decided one of these days, is whether school boards have be- come archaeic as autonomous bodies. Should schools be built into the structure of municipal government with an education committee responsible to coun- cil? Does it conform to mod- ern business practice to have two elected bodies (or an ap- pointed body) handling taxpay- er funds in a_ municipality? Should taxpayer funds be com-- pletely nuder the control of one elected body -- namely, the council? "These questions have no- thing to do with the spending of the public funds insofar as school boards and councils seek to obtain She greatest value from the taxpayer's dollar. One of the biggest bodies in any municipality is its public works department. But this depart- ment does not operate as a separate entity, divorced from council. There is nothing in school administration, either in the construction and mainten- ance of buildings or the employ- ment of teaching staff, that could not he handled by a mu- nicipal council and the neces- sary committees. "We doubt that Kingston will gain much more than a sym- pathetic hearing in this matter, but it is another sign of the way the wind is blowing." HAMILION SPECTATOR: The British usually find an adroit way to pinpointing a problem. In Canada we com- plain that out cities are too noisy, especially in residential areas where desperate house- holders are trying to live in peace. True, but the Royal In- stitute of British Architects has put it this way: Noise is "eroding civilized standards" in Britain. And that just about sums it up in more sociological lan- guage. Again in Britain a gov- ernment committee has recom- mended a _law banning horn honking in Duilt-up areas, ex- cept to avert accidents. In Ca- nadian cities, the novelty of horns having worn off, this isn't too much of a proble m-- except, occasionally, in places like Hamilton where there is a raucous tradition of loudly-toot- ing wedding parties. This is hard to understand; the tooters usually are greeted with hos- tile sneers, detracting rather than adding to a festival air. But that is a side issue, The principal culprits in noise ¥ automobile engines. These are in three classes: Buses and trucks, over-age jalopies which should be retired rather than "souped up", and new sports cars. Motor-eycles are in a deplorable class of their own -- there are good arguments in favor of confining their use to the military in wartime and to police departments in peace- time. In Britain the committee has recommended a_ considerable lowering in the permissible- level of vehicle noise, as ex- pressed in units called decibels. In Ontario there has been con- siderable talk about noise con- trol. It is a comparatively new science, and there is disagree- ment about the best, way to measure noise so that laws can be made clear and definite. PETERBOROUGH EXAMINER The past decade has seen a subtle elevation of the nurses' duties. The nurse's aide has been employed for an in- creasing range of chores which were once performed by nurses in training. We may yet see the day when the aide takes over all the duties formerly performed by nurses and the nurse becomes a sort of assist- ant interne. The profession will then have the status, for which it has striven so assiduously, but the aide will be carrying Florence Nightingale's lamp. OTTAWA JOURNAL -- Wild raspberries like a recently cut- over patch of woodland. Within three or four-year period after the trees have been harvested and the limbs have crumbled back to the humas that gave birth to the trees, the brem; bles take over. They thrive in the rich dark soil and until new trees start and grow high enough to shade them, the rasp- berries flourish. It is good to walk through a peaceful woods to the open glade, good to feel the quietness of nature and to feel the ten- sions of daily life drain way. The open area is a picture in the sunlight -- shades of green and gold, with a background of dark green of the surrounding pines, spruces and hemlocks. A man hangs his two quart lard pail from a suspender but- ton and starts slowly in among the canes, The red nuggets gleam like jewels. Part of picking wild raspber- ries in a woodland opening is taking time to look up at the white clouds meandering across a blue sky. There is a satisfy- ing fragrance from the moist soil and the sunwarmed leaves of the plants. FINANCIAL POST: These two facts from the neurosis front merit sober contempla- tion. One out of every 12 Canadians will need treatment for mental illness this year. Half of all Canadian hospital beds are occupied by patients with mental illness, .Most of this great waste: is needless because most of the emotionally and mentally dis- turbed can be restored to useful and agreeable life. But it takes money to finance research into the causes of men- tal illness, its prevention, its early diagnosis -- and fhat is what Vice-Admirah . Main- guy, president of the Cana- dian Mental Health Associa- tion; is now campaigning for. He deserves the support of those mature men and women who know' full well that it is a narrow line, indeed, which di- vides the sound of spirit from the possessed. YOUR HEALTH UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Prime Minister Given Silent Tory Treatment By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) For The Oshawa Times LONDON --When Prime Minister Macmillan made his first appearance in the House of Commons after his massive cabinet shake-up, he under- went a humiliating experience such as he had not known since he became head of the government after the Suez crisis. He was made to fee}, in an unmistakable way, the strong feelings of his own back- benchers over the summary dismissal of Selwyn Lloyd from his cabinet position, and the other government changes. As Mr. Macmillan -- slipped into his front -bench seat there was dead silence from the benches behind him. One could almost feel the atmosphere of disapproval. Even when the opposition members jeered and mocked at him, there was no loyal response from his own followers. It was an inglorious entry into the Commons after a major cabinet revolution. It was made all the more palpable because 20 minutes earlier, when Selwyn Lloyd en- tered the house to take the traditional "'resigner's seat" be- low the gangway, he was greet- ed with a tumultuous volume of cheers from his associates in the Conservative benches. The ovation continued for over a minute. SHOWS RESENTMENT The silent treatment given to Prime Minister Macmil'an on his entry was too great a contrast to pass unnoticed. It was obvious that a Tory revolt against the cabinet re-shuffle was in progress, and that Mr. Macmillan had incurred the in- tense displeasure of a large number of his followers. Swift action to quell the revolt, however, was taken by Mr. Macmillan. He quickly brought into action the party fire brigade to quell the flames of rebellion. The chief fire- man was the government whip, Martin Redmayne, and he and his assistants at once went to work to pacify the dissitents. Within 24 hours he was able to report that some progress had been made in quietening the discontent. And no doubt was left that the government would have a thumping big majority on the vote of confi- dence motion placed before the House by the opposition lead- ers. The net outcome is that his own party expects the prime minister to come along with some morale - boosting an- nouncements of new policy as quickly as possible, before the discontent expressed by the Tories at Westminster spreads throughout the country. | MARKET REVOLT The government is also in trouble with members of its own party over the Common Market negotiations. A group of 27 Conservative members, including six baron- ets and five knights, waited upon the party chairman, Iain Macleod, to express their deep disquiet over the whole situa- tion. They protested that the government's one-sided presen- tation of the case for Britain's entry was doing the party harm. They felt that there was a strong shift of public opinion against the tie-up. And they argued that unless the govern- ment adopted a more balanced unién in Euorpe without the United Kingdom having a voice in such a development. Edward Heath made that very clear when he opened the nego- tiations for Britain's entry into the European Coal and Steel Community. Adenauer and de Gaulle seem intent on going right ahead with the political union plan before Britain has joined the Common Market, which is not as yet certain. Mr. Heath, on learning of this development, said: "As these matters are of such importance to tie United Kingdom, both the British par- liament and the British people want to know that we will be able to express our views about the nature of these develop- ments. Arrangements can eas- ily be made for Britain to take part in political talks, and this is a perfectly reasonable re- quest to come from a nation which would be a partner in the Community if present nego- tiations are successful." Meanwhile, the move to- wards political union is neld up until Belgium and _ Holland agree to go ahead without British participation. But inter- est in this country is centred on the extent to-which this movement will make progress without Britain having a word to say about it NEDC GOING ON The brain-child of Selwyn Lloyd, the National Eéonomic approach there was d of a major split in the party. They got little satisfaction from their interview with Mr. Macleod, but they did impress him with the fact that full-scale debate on the subject is sure to take place at the party's an- nual conference at Llandudno in October--and that it will not be one-sided. POLITICAL UNION Britain is not going to stand idly by and allow President de Gaulle and Chancellor Aden- auer to bring about a political BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO Eighty-seven per cent of Osh- awa school pupils who tried the entrance examinations were successful.

MOLNER, MD "Dear Dr .Molner: I am dia- betic only during pregnancy, and then I carry large babies. I have had six boys, and all weighed over nine pounds. "IT am now expecting again, and have made application to have my tubes tied afterwards, to prevent further pregnancies. Some people, even at the clinic where I go, oppose this. I want to ask why this shouldn't be done in my case?--P.J.P." The matter of having your tubes tied is not 2 serious oper- ation. In most hospitals the de- cision to do this rests with a special committee of doctors or at least a consultation with a doctor other.than your surgeon. Many factors are taken into consideration; hence I can't an- swer directly why this should not be dune in your case. From the purely medical standpoint, your letter indicates what is known as a pre-diabetic condition. You don't, in other words, have full - blown dia- betes, but pregnancy brings on a 'temporary diabetes." Such people are likely to become dia- betics later in life. Being thus forewarned, they can be on the alert and have periodic tests. (At least once or twice a year). Such cases, discovered early, can then be kept under control with comparative ease and sim- plicity. Tying of the tubes is not harmful to your health. I persis- tently caution against -having this done for trivial purposes. since too often a woman later decides she wants more chil- dren, and then the attempt to re-open the tubes is difficult and may not be successful at all. It has been done, but it is utterly impossible to guarantee success. However, with a family of six already and one more arriving (I hope it will be a girl, for variety!) you have a responsi- bility to these youngsters to keep yourself healthy. Repeated pregnancies may tend to be- come more 'difficult. And there, I think you have the story, upon which to make up your mind. But, as you have learned, there are some who opposed this pro- cedure. Religious attitudes are a matter entirely apart from the physical aspects. Meantime, let me add one stern word of warning: If you are overweight (and it is not unusual for pre-diabetic women to be) by all means reduce, both for purposes of postponing diabetes if it is to develop, and making 't much easier to con- trol it and live a normal life in spite of it. "Dear Dr. Molner: Is there an age limit for plastic surgery? Could 'face-lifting' make one of 38 look younger? Does it leave a scar? How long does it last? Who is the foremost plastic sur- gecn?"' There's no age limit--and the more premature sagging exists, the more useful the procedure is One can 'look younger" but in the Trent Valley system. V. B.

The world's tallest build- ing, New York's Empire State Building, was struck by a B-25 twin-engine U.S. Army bomber 17 years ago today--in 1945. The three occupants of the plane and 16 persons in the building were killed and 25 others in- jured. 1930 -- The Conservatives ousted the Liberals in a general election, winning 137 of 245 seats. R.

In fact, Reginald Maudling, the new Chancellor, presided over a meeting of the Council immediately after tak- ing over his new office. He played a/cautious role at his first meeting, which concerned itself with passing on to the Council's professional _ staff some recommendations for study in connection with plans for expansion of the country's productivity capacity. There are expectations, how- ever, that Mr. Maudling may have some ideas of his own, but he very wisely is keeping them to himself until he is more fully established in his new office. He is regarded as a man of expansive ideas which he will have full opportunity to develop in his role as guardian of the country's economy, COMMUNISTS OUT Frank Cousins, general secre- tary of Britain's biggest union, the Transport and General Workers, led his union's con- ference to a resounding vic- tory over a Communist attempt to get back into positions of authority. Since 1949, Communists have been barred from holding office in the union. An attempt to re- move the ban in 1956 was un- successful. The Communists tried again at the recent union conference, but after a spirited defence of the rule by Mr. Cousins, the motion to re scind it was defeated by a twc to one vote. So Communists are still pre- vented from having any part in the executive management of the union. GALLUP POLL Common Market Given Wide Popular Support By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) Studies by European affili- ates of the Gallup Poll reveal that the Common Market now exists in a favorable climate of opinion. This attitude is shared by Canadians, most. of whom approve Britain's entry into ECM in the hope that it should increase our exports to Europe, In West Germany, too, there is a solid belief that ECM will increase trade, open up mar- keting possibilities and improve general transportation facili- ties between the six nations now members. Germans are less confident, however that it wll mean more employment or better wages. The great majority of Dutch men and. women believe that they now have prosperity -- while one in three traces it directly to membership in the Common Market. In France there is wide- spread support for making the Common Market a prelude to the eventual goal of an all- European Union. * Most think it is desirable, if not actually indispensable, that the six Common Market coun- tries now take the further step of uniting politically as well as economically. The French survey further noted some misgivings on the question of Great Britain join- ing the Common Market. French doubts as to whether or not this would be in the best interests of France un. doubtedly stem from the fear-- disclosed in the survey -- that if Great Britain comes in she will try either to 1) take over leadership of the Common Mar- ket, or 2) become a member only to try and wreck the organization. © In Great Britain itself, the weight of sentiment backs that nation's entry into the Com- mon Market -- provided the government felt that such a move were in Britain's inter- est. As of now, however, the British public does not: look for Common Market member- ship to give them a "better deal' economically. The prevailing sentiment is that such a step would likely cause an increase in the price of consumer goods in Great Britain. Such an increase, the British feel, would not necessarily be accompanied by a rise in wages and the result of join- ing the Common Market would just as likely be a lowering of . British living standards as it would be a bettering of them. your hands, neck, figure, and whether you can dance all night and still have some energy in the morning--all these will help disclose your true age.
