She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario 'T. L, Wilson, Publisher PRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Old Pattern Of Trade Cannot Stay Unchanged Canadian opponents of Britain's entry into the European Common Market seem to think that, if Britain does not join Euromart, all will be well with Anglo-Canadian trade; that that the comfortable trading pattern will not change. They are either in- credibly naive or deliberately refusing to face the fact that Britain is seek- ing membership in the EEC. simply because she cannot prosper without making a drastic change in the old trading pattern. The fact is that if Britain does not join Euromart, she must find a substitute; it is that or decline; and the revision of trading arrangements will probably affect Canada as much as would the move into the Common Market. This point was forcibly made the other day by R. M. Fowler, who told the Mount Allison Summer Institute: "Canada cannot expect the British market to remain as it has been in recent years. The forces that led Britain to seek entry into Europe will continue to operate. If the British economy remains stagnant or declines further, Britain will have a declining demand for Canadian products. If she encounters new balance of payments, Britain cannot continue to buy sub- stantially more from us than we buy from her, and may be forced to reim- pose quotas and other import restric- tions against our goods, In this event we face either a reduction in the pre- sent British market or we must enter: into new trading arrangements with Britain which will enable her to buy present or increasing amounts of Canadian goods. This will not be easy for us as the hard fact is that entry into Britain is already free of duty for 97 per cent of Canadian goods and Britain therefore has almost no more trading concessions to give us. The concessions to maintain and expand trade with Britain would have to come from us, with major impacts on many Canadian industries." If Mr. Diefenbaker did in fact have a realistic alternative to Britain's entry into the Common Market, now is the time for him to produce it, Canada will need a far-sighted trade policy in any event. The Fluctuating Deer Not. long ago Lands and Forests Minister Spooner was urging counties in Southern Ontario to relax regula- tions affecting deer hunting. The ar- gument was that deer were becoming so. numerous that they were a nuisance, damaging farmers' crops, over-browsing wooded areas and creat- ing a hazard for motorists. Some municipal authorities listened to the siren song of the minister but others wondered what the minister was talk- ing about -- they knew from exper- ience and observation that they stood to suffer a great deal more from the hunters than from the deer. Now, according.to a Department of Lands and Forests press release, the Department is "bringing into opera- tion a closer working relationship be- tween its timber and wildlife branch- es" because of the dependence of wild- life on forests for food and shelter. The release continues: "Lands and Forests Minister the Hon J. W. Spooner pointed out in making the new policy announcement that part of the reason for the decline of the deer population in Southern Ontario was that the character of the forest is changing and there is not as much food available for them." The "closer working relationship" between timber-and wildlife branches makes sense. Indeed, in view of the increasing multiple use of forested areas, it is essential. But it seems rather strange that instead of the increased deer population that was a nuisance a few months ago, we now have a decline of the deer population. The character of the forest must have changed overnight. Possibly the deer are crowding into a few areas. Anyhow, this is what Mr. Spooner says: "The most pressing problem appears to lie in the field of improving the quality of habitat in established deer yards. The initial effort will be made in those areas of southern and south-central Ontario where problems of deterioration of deer range presently exist." Enterprise In Sweden Closer examination of Scandinavian and West European business condi- tions by North American industrial- ists and labor leaders is helping to destroy many cherished misconcep- tions on this side of the Atlantic. Sweden, for example, has been gen- erally considered to be a: model of the socialist welfare state, while West Germany and France have been hailed as great successful champions of free enterprise. But there is substantially less public ownership in Sweden than in either France or West Germany; and there is far more detailed econ- omic planning by government in France than in Sweden. It is true that Sweden has gone a long way on the welfare road, but the Swedes like to say they have a "free enterprise welfare state", and visiting North Americans are inclined to agree with them. Sweden's new national budget aims both at expanding the welfare state and at encouraging private enter- prise. Welfare spending is up nine per She Osharon Times C.

This would be self-defeating. Their tax policies are designed to encourage investment. Thy do not have any detailed econ- omic plan, but the stability of their labor-management situation enables them to move quickly in orthodox ways to maintain their economic equilibrium. It is difficult to draw a parallel be- tween Sweden and Canada -- between a small, highly developed country and a large, undeveloped one. But the de- vices and attitudes of the Swedes certainly warrant more close study by Canadians. Other Editors' Views QUESTION STUDY VALUE (Montreal Star) Soiologists come up with some weird and wonderful projects. There's the classic story of one who got a $40,000 grant to find out where the' _ gambling places were in a large city, came up with a lengthy report only to find that he could have got all the information he wanted at no cost by asking the nearest policeman. The study of sleeping habits and their relationship to character, made by a ociological team in Britain, seems to be this kind of study. se ey, "The Next Girl That Screams 'Oh, Frankie' And Swoons Will Be Sent Out Of The Room!" OTTAWA REPORT Brilliant Speech . Given By Martin By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Hon, Paul Martin has directed a brilliant shaft of commonsense through the. fog of misunderstanding darkness of ignorance which be- cloud the popular view of the rapid developments in interna- tional trade and politics. Typical of the gloom in which We grope today, Mr. Martin's views were given no significant headline, and little thoughtful comment, although they prof- fered Canadians a real gleam of advice through the envelop- ing clouds. x Paul Martin, longtime Liberal MP from Windsor, Ont., has been variously one of the late Prime Minister Mackenzie King's bright young men-- the others all went to their sundry rewards from Parliament--then a widely - known minister of health, then candidate for the leadership of the Liberal party. But behind these roles has al- ways towered the colossus of Paul' Martin, the great intéerna- tionalist. Circumstances deter/ mined that the amateur should be overshadowed in his field by the career diplomat. But it should not be forgotten that Mr. Martin, who so frequently stood-in for Mr. Pearson, scored that successful cold - war com- promise at the United Nations which brought many small na- tions into membership; and built up his reputation on his world tour and many other overseas missions; and became the admired friend of leading figures in other countries. It was that Martin who emerged so vividly before a convention of newspaper ad- vertising managers at Montreal last month, It was that Martin who there so succinctly outlined the problems facing Canada, and suggested the three alter- native i th of us, and gave compe reasons why we should never contem- plate direct economic union with the U.S. Mr. Martin accepted as proven that "fundamental eco- nomic factors are now working towards the creation of bigger economic units" -- namely su- pra-national masses of consum- ers, or "common markets." The first true common mar. ket, he explained,' was the United States, which comprised the much of a large continent as a single economic unit, Western Europe ig forming a tight eco- nomic and political grouping as a common market; the Soviet bloc has achieved this by dic- tatorial rather than by demo- cratic methods; economic asso- ciations looser than the Euro- pean model are in the early stages of establishment in Latin America and in Africa, he said. "The question we have to ask ourselves," declared Mr. Mar- tin, "is, in this sort. of world, what happens to Canada? In a world of growing regionalism, there undoubtedly is a: danger that we will be excluded." Our markets in western Europe for manufactured goods and raw materials will probably become increasingly unimportant as we REPORT FROM U.K. Guard Tradition Of Cinque Ports By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times HASTINGS, Sussex -- One of the most ancient and historic bodies in Britain, with the im- posing title of the Courts of Brotherhood and Guestling of the Cinque Ports, has been meeting in Hastings with all its traditional pomp and ceremony. Arrayed in costumes of bygone days, the' members and guests marched from the White Rock Pavilion for a service in Holy Trinity Church. Then they re- turned to the pavilion where, using words that have come down through the centuries, the swearing-in of new members took place. In addition to the Speaker of the Cinque Ports, Mayor D. W. Wilshin of Hastings, and the Barons and representatives of the Cinque Ports, the guests in- cluded Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery. LONG HISTORY There is a long and honor- able history behind the Cinque Ports. The original five were Hastings, Sandwich, Dover, Romney and Hythe. Rye and YOUR HEALTH Lancing Of Cyst Only Temporary By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Doctor: I had what I thought was an ingrown hair on my neck, It would fester every month or so for several years. I got fed up with this and went to my doctor who is reportedly a good surgeon. He said it was a sebaceous cyst and that it might get seri- ous. I agreed to have him re- move it at our general hospital. He said he had to go very deep to remove all traces. This "cyst" was no more than a pimple. How come? What hap- Penca to those good "old" doc- tors who would do the same in their office? --T. D. P. The good "old" doctors are with us, and some good new ones, and all of them, when things are liable to get messy or dangerous, would rather work in a hospital with equip- ment and help at hand, than in an office. s And believe me, you can get into an awful mess with a sebaceous cyst if it is a deep- seated one. You write that it was '"'no more than a pimple',' but your doctor said it might be a cyst, and it might be serious, and he turned out to be exactly right on both scores. Obviously it was an infected cyst, too, from your own report that it céntinually festered over a period of years. It was more than just a "pimple," all right. I can't help thinking that your hind-sight opinion is pretty un- fair. Your doctor--or some doc- tor--could have lanced the thing to let it drain. As I've written before in the column, lancing a cyst is not ef- fective. We know from long and sometimes sad experience that the only way to get rid of one is to remove it entirely. If you leave part of cyst in, it just seals itself off again, and fills, and. in time forces an opening which temporarily re- lieves the pressure again--the process you called "festering." If your doctor had simply lanced the cyst, or had removed just part of it, the trouble would return. Then you would have been warranted in complaining that he didn't cure the cyst. As it was, he had the wisdom to recommend a - permanent cure, and he was ~ shrewd enough to realize that he would probably have to go rather deeply. So he took you to the hospital. "Dear Dr. Molner: If a woman is in early pregnancy and is hit about the face, would this cause her child'to be born wth a cleft palate? If not, what causes this?--MRS, B, G." No, there's no connection whatsoever. It's simply a flaw in early development, the parts forming the jaw, lip and palate failing to merge properly. "Dear Dr. -Molner: .What causes hiccups, and is there any way to cure an infant of them? And what makes a person yawn?--M, H." Hicoups aren't unusual in a baby. Pick him up, burp him, then give him a little water. It's a@ spasmodic reaction, usually from some trivial irritation, such as a bit of air in the stom- ach, A yawn is just one of a num- ber of modifications of breath- ing, others being laughing, coughing (incited by bronchial irritation), sneezing (from na- sal irritation), crying, sighing, and' hyperventilation, this last being overly rapid breathing, usually due to some psychic cause. All of them, you notice, in- volve drawing in or expelling the breath, hence a "'modified movement of breathing." Causes of a yawn are fatigue, boredom, or sometimes just the thought of yawning -- seeing somebody else yawn. oo Winchelsea were added to the original five in the 13th cen- tury. Another 33 smaller ports have been named as "limbs" or members of the head ports. For over 500 years, these Cinque Ports bravely defended Eng- land at its most vulnerable cor. ner, conveyed the crown's forces overseas and took them supplies while campaigning abroad, and performed many other duties. Their privileges were great, in proportion to their responsibili- ties and activities. Their free- men were called barons. One of the most picturesque privil- eges was that of carrying cano- pies over the monarchs and consorts at their coronations, This privilege was surrendered after the coronation of George IV, but the Cinque Ports are still represented at coronations in other capacities. Nowadays the barons consist only of those who have represented the con- federation at coronations. GUARDED INTERESTS The Courts of Brotherhood and Guestlings were those which respectively guarded the inter- - ests of the ports and those of the "limbs". For a long time they F met at a selected location in suc- cession, but now they all meet annually as one body. The power of the confedera- tion really started to decline about the beginning of the 15th century, and had to all intents and purposes ceased by the mid- dle of the 17th century. In spite of this, the courts have still continued to meet regularly with all their old pomp and tradition jealously preserved. Today, the confed- eration consists of the 14 places -- originally either head ports of. the 14 places -- originally either head ports of "limbs" -- which now hold the status of boroughs. MAYORS ALL PRESENT At this year's ceremony in Hastings, the 14 mayors of these boroughs, attended by their mace-bearers and with their town clerks, senior alder- men and councillors, joined in the colorful procession and at- tended the Church service. The Town Crier of Hastings, W. Cruttenden, whose office dates back to the 13th century, headed the procession, followed by the Speaker, Mayor Wilshin of Hastings. On their return to the pavilion from the church, the mayors and the other repre- sentatives of the towns took the ancient oath of the Confedera- tion of the Cinque Ports. READERS' VIEWS Improvement In Marking Of Intersections Urged Dear Sir: There are some points con- cerning street intersections which have been bothering me for some time. Most street in- tersections in Oshawa are pro- perly marked with regard to regulation type stop signs set at proper distances from the intersection and so on. How- ever, there are many that are not! Quite a few have no traffic flow indication at all, such as Woodcrest and Fernhill - next to a school at that. These do not make sense to me. This situation is looking for an acci- dent, by making each driver feel he has the right of way . there being no markings to tell him otherwise. Or is this a case of no-one having got around to marking the intersection - the men being too busy putting in unwanted sidewalks and such? A second seemingly silly situ- ation is where both directions of travel are marked with a stop sign. I have personally witnes- sed three cases during the past month at Athol and Celina streets where one of two things happens. In the first instance both drivers stop, both start-up simultaneously, both stop again and start again until they almost hit one another before one de- cides to let the other through. In the second instance, two drivers approach a two . way stop intersection, but one knows it is a two-way stop so he sails on through without stopping, fi- guring the other fellow will stop. I hate to think of what happens when both think the other fel- low will stop but neither does. My feelings -are that for quicker and smoother flow of traffic, all intersections should be. sensibly marked, making greater use of yield signs than .is now evident. I'm sure there are many motorists who have shared my thoughts in these respects but individually are unable to create a more system- atic and logical flow of traffic. Let's get together and perhaps set an example of systematic traffic flow in thi -- the motor city! : Oshawa rf Jack Rudniski, P. Eng. BY-GONE DAYS USA as close as our long- run mutual interests require, but they should always be con. nections that we can share with other countries, prescribed Mr. Martin. At the very time when Mr. Diefenbaker was urging, at the Commonwealth Conference in England, an international con- ference to promote multilateral free world free-trade, Mr, Mar- tin was thus by chance promot. ing exactly the same objective in Canada. It was no coinci- dence that both subscribed to The Declaration of Atlantic Unity which advocates this ob- jective. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM A psychologist says gambling is just as much a disease as 35 YEARS AGO John H. Renwick was appoint- ed organist and choirmaster of Simcoe Street United Church. Eleven cases of diphtheria were reported in Oshawa during the month of September. The homes of E. F. Cawker and C. H. Babcock were enter- ed by robbers and over $150 cash and a large quantity of clothing stolen. General Motors extended its home building project and an- nounced plans to build 40 more residences for sale to em- ployees. Customs returns of $757,660 for the Port of Oshawa during September marked an all-time high record for that month. A petition was circulated in favor of constructing a subway under the CNR crossing on Sim- coe street south. South Simcoe Home and School Club at its meeting pre- sented a set of history books for use in the school. Mrs. C. J. Wilson, on behalf of the club, made the presentation. Frank Hoag, pupil of Thorn- ton's Corners School, was the winner of the South Ontario pub- lic speaking contest held in Alexandra Park. September building permits issued in Oshawa totalled $808,- 595 bringing the total for the first nine months of 1927 up to $4,093,705. Maj.-Gen. J. H. MacBrien visited Whitby and surveyed a = site for an aerodrome there. St. Andrew's United Church Sunday School building and church extension were officially opened at a dedication cere- mony performed by Rev. James Endicott, DD, moderator of the United Church of Canada. Appointment of a business ad- ministrator for the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital was considered at a meeting of the Hospital Board. Mrs. R. J.
