-- She Oshawa Cimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Mayoralty Change Made But Voters Not Restive Oshawa voters were not in a res- tive mood when they went to the: Spolls on Monday. There were fewer - them than there were two years go; less than half the eligible voters were interested enough to fake a-few minutes from their busy, fuss day to mark a ballot, Thuse Swho did vote made another mayor- salty change, thereby squaring the 'election score between Mrs. Chris- tine Thomas and Mr. Lyman Gif- *ford, but they seemed fairly satis- fied with the performances of those twho had sat on city council,, the 'board of education, and the Public Utilities Commission for the past itwo years. Separate school board 'voters, however, were less compla- teent. } The voters left some deadwood ton city council, but they also put in ttwo new men who should make 'worthwhile contributions to the city's administration. Mr. Rundle and Mr. Pilkey are both capable, articulate men who should add in- terest and color to the sesions: of the council. : It was not surprising that Mr. Stan Lovell should head 'the poll for Board of Education on his first try for elected office. The Lovell name has been closely identified with the progress of the commu- nity, and Mr. Lovell himself has been an energetic and imaginative worker on behalf of good causes in the community. It is good to know that his very considerable abilities will now be directed to the cause.of education on the city. The voters showed good judg- ment, too, in giving a strong vote of approval to the repeal of the parks board bylaw. Now the way is clear for a major move towards greater municipal efficiency. 'Not For Exploitation A highly questionable recommen- !dation of the Glassco Royal Com- ;mission concerns the nationa: parks. !The Commission report suggests 'that the parks be removed from 'direct control. of the government jand placed under a national parks 'commission, which would develop 'the parks "on a. self-sustaining 'basis." ' The phrase "self-sustaining 'basis' is vague, but one can guess jwhat the commission had in mind lfrom the critical reference to the Now revenue yield from timber har- vested in the parks. » The commission seems to have 'missed completely the fundamental tpoint involved into establishment 'of public parks. The point is not {to obtain as much revenue as | possible from the commercial ex- ' ; Not many years ago Davie Fulton ' was regarded as one of the Conser- ' vative party's brightest young stars, tand a great prospect for leadership. : Now he is preparing to step out of 'the federal cabinet, into what must 'be regarded as the most unpromis- ting of all political jobs in Canada-- leadership of the provincial Conser- tvative party in British Columbia. + What happened? Mr. Fulton has all the gifts and qualities he had tten years ago. He is still a polished debater, a fine parliamentarian, the 'possessor of the best - informed imind and 'finest intellect in the Diefenbaker government. : The trouble seems to be that Mr. !Diefenbaker is not one of Mr. Ful- 'ton's warmest admirers. Mr. Fulton, 'it will be remembered, ran against 'Mr. Diefenbaker for the Conser- ; vative leadership. That rivalry »seemed to be forgotten when Mr. : Diefenbaker led the Conservative to 'power, and picked Mr. Fulton as this minister of justice. Mr. Fulton ploitation of the natural resources in the parks; it is, indeed, to pre- vent such exploitation. The National Parks Act makes it very clear: "The parks are hereby dedicated to the people of Canada for their benefit, education and en- joyment -- and shall be maintained and made use of so as to leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations." Commercial exploitation will not leave the parks unimpaired. It can only destroy the very thing for which the parks were set aside -- the natural beauty which is a na- tional heritage and upon which no price can be placed. Mr. Glassco had better go back to his ledgers and find some way of accounting for "education and enjoyment", Challenge For Fulton did a good job in that ministry, but there were obviously differences of opinion -- over Columbia River policy, the proposed demotion of Donald Fleming from the finance ministry, and other matters. In the cabinet shuffle after the June elec- tion, Mr. Fulton stepped down from justice to public works. And with the rising star of Mr. Hees glowing ever more brightly in the federal firmament, it was obvious that under existing circumstances Mr. Fulton could look forward only to life in the cabinet shadows. If he can resurrect the dead and decaying provincial party in British Columbia, he will again be a leading candidate for the federal leadership. But he faces an immense and perhaps impossible task. He has a tough job on his hands simply to get elected to the provincial legislature, in which there has not been a Con- servative member for almost ten years.

Some persisted in their cruel accusation even after it was learned that Jerome had suffered a leg in- jury which necessitated an opera- tion. " The best rebuttal comes from the Vancouver Sun, which asks: "What pride are we entitled to claim that can be affected by the performance of this fast boy from North Vancouver? "Who's putting Harry Jerome through university? The Amer- icans. Who keeps him in runners' skivvies and glove-leather track shoes?

REPORT FROM U.K. Ypres Settlement Sale Stirs Storm By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A sad decision was reached at the annual meeting of the administrators of the British settlement in Ypres, Belgium, held in London. It was to the effect that the settlement, the chief centre of which is the St. George's Me- morial Church, is being put up for sale privately. This decision has brought an angry reaction from thousands of ex-service men of the first world war, who throughout the years had contributed liberally towards its upkeep. The Friends of St. George's, an organization made up of veterans and of widows and families of men who died in the first world war, is dismayed at this decision after its years of effort to pro- vide finances to keep the settle- ment and the St. George's Me- morial Church in operation. The Ypres British Settlement was set up by public subscrip- tions after the 1914-1918 war on land donated for the purpose by the Belgian Government, It ,ies in the heart of Ypres, within YOUR HEALTH Several Factors Involved In Colds By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Yesterday I had my say about flu vaccine, explaining why think it would be wise for every- body to have such a vaccination once a year. What about cold vaccines for other types of respiratory ill- nesses? Already one flu vac- cine is aimed against some forms of adenovirus, a respira- tory type. Doubtless we will be hearing someday about vaccines for other variviics, but since there are scores of viruses involved, and each must be studied sep- arately, the "common cold' is going to be with us for a long time to come, even with vac- cines. Colds, like most other dis- eases, are a consequence of in- terlocking factors: The intensity of exposure to the germs, and the degree of the person's re- sistance, plus others. Why are respiratory infections more frequent in fall, winter and spring? We don't . know. Temperature may be involved, or changeable weather, or hu- midity or dryness. Experts have reached the point at which they can capture cold viruses, then give other people colds. of the same type sometimes. Perhaps about half the time. Presumably those who don't catch the colds have' been exposed to the same viruses before and have acquired im- munity. The ones who do catch the colds have gradually lost whatever immunity they had. How much your general state of health has to do with im- munity, I frankly don't know. Some, I think. But perfectly HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Dec, 5, 1962... The Nova Scotia - built brigantine Mary. Celeste found ai sea between the Azores and Cape Roca, Por- tugal, with no men aboard her and started one of the great unsolved mysteries of the sea sv years ago today --in 1872. She had sailed from New York 'in Novem- ber with a cargo of alcohol. The Mary Celeste was-in seaworthy condition, ther» was no sign of a struggle but her chronometer, pa- pers and boat were miss- ing. The fate of her crew remains unknown. 1933--Prohibition was re- pealed in the United Slates. healthy youngsters, starting school, are inclined to catch just every kind of cold, thereby gradually acquiring some im munity. Other things being equa!, I suspect that all of us are more likely to catch colds if we have sacrificed vigor by not getting enough sleep, not eating pro- perly, not having at least a minimum of exercise, -and not accustoming ourselves to changes in. temperature. But whether this affects catch. ing cold, it certainly is an im- portant element in how well we throw one off once we have it. The virus is present; we have to depend on our bodies to drive the invaders off. And to keep other germs from following along! The cold that hangs on is often the result of some 'secon- dary bacterial infection getting a start in the virus-inflamed membranes, Therefore, quite aside from avoiding giving the germs to other people, I heartily recom- mend staying home and if pos- sible in bed when a cold strikes. Drink plenty of water. If aspirin makes you feel better, use it. Get plenty of sleep, too. sight of the famous Cloth Hall and the Cathedral. A fight to save the settlement from going out of existence is being led by a Belgian custo ns officer, Rudolph Bekeart, who has written to me on several occasions on the subject. He has written to the Duke of Glou. cester, president of the Com- monwealth War Graves Com- mission and has approached other people whom he thinks might-be able to help. The settlement includes a school built as a memorial to 342 Old Etonians who died in the Ypres Salient, a Pilgrim's Hall, a vicarage, the St. George's Memorial Church, and the headquarters hall of the Ypres Branch of the British Le- gion, Only the church, which is fill- ed with memorials of many British and Commonwealth reg- iments and individual <o!d'e:s, would remain if the sale goes through. The school has been closed for some years because of the lack of pupils, who for- merly were mostly the children of British members of the staff of the War Graves Commission. NEW CHURCH HALL While no official figure for the sale has been announced, it 1s understood that between $45,00 and $60,000 is sought to build a new church hall and to endow the church. It costs about $3,000 a year to maintain, and this money has been provided by the British Legion, the War Graves Commission and the Friends of St. George's, a body which has many Canadians, both in Eng- land and Canada, in its mem- bership. Rev. J. S. Fowler, chaplain of Huggens' College, Northfleet, Kent, and for nine years war- den of the settlement, said the decision to sell was amazing and regrettable. He said that an offer was made some time ago to lease the school at a good rental. for the use of handicap- ped children. This could be a solution. Am economic rental ition keep the settlement. in- act, About 18 months ago, in these columns, I made an appeal to branches of the 'Canadian Le- gion to help keep the Ypres Settlement in operation by mak. ing contributions to the Friends of St. George's. There was quite a good response from some branches of the Legion, but nut nearly as great as one would expect for a cause which should be dear to the heart of every veteran who served in the be og Salient between 1914 and BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO A Committee for the Christ- mas Cheer Fund launched a campaign in the city to raise $2500. Oshawa Railway Company an- nounced plans for a bus service in Oshawa in 1938 to augment the street car service. A. E. Coulter was elected president of the Oshawa Kiwa- nis Club for the year 1938. Oshawa Board of Education estimates for. 1938 totalled $225,687, an increase of $15,015 over those for 1937. Construction was completed of the new conveyor bridge linking the North and West plants of. General Motors of Canada Limited. The Rawlinson Trophy for the Toronto and District Cricket: League was presented to the Oshawa Cricket Club at a banquet. : November's circulation at the public library eclipsed Octo- ber's all-time record of 14,892 with a total of 15,574 books circulated, S. J. Collacutt was chosen president of the Oshawa Yacht Club at the annual banquet and presentation of prizes. George Hart was named commodore for the 1938 season.

Bragg, former MLA for Durham, was appoint- ed as a _ special investigator under the Liquor Control Act. t OTTAWA REPORT Western Lawyer Top Pinch-Hitter By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--"D'you mean that little guy, who never talks at all?"' asked the sarcastic eleva- tor operator, when I sought di- rections to the new office of Mr. Eldon Woolliams. The bulky, booming red-. . headed Saskatchewan farm boy, murder trial counsel and MP for Bow River, Alberta, has won for himself a reputation as an ever-ready pinch-hitting ora- tor for the Conservative govern- ment. You name the subject, Eldon can rise to his feet at the drop of the party whip's sig- mal, and hold the floor elo- quently, informatively and en- tertainingly for the required 20 minutes. This is an invaluable accomplishment in Parliament, where tactics sometimes call for @ motion to be "talked out' un- til closing time. This is the man whom I was seeking, in the spacious and quiet new office he occupies in the made-over West Block, just 130 yards away from the Com. mons via the new underground all-weather tunnel. The soft yel- low walls are decorated with colored prints of the Queen and her husband, and with the widely-hung montage of photos of Canada's 13 Prime Ministers. ' In the corner stands an affluent- looking leather golf bag, heavy with clubs, almost garish with impressive hand - tooled orna- mentation. "T got that'for $39 in Mexico City, when I was invited down there to address a United Na- tions organization," he told me. "It would have cost me between $200 and $300 here." There you see, so famed is Orator Eldon that the long arm of the inviter stretches out from Mexico to the Alberta foothills for him. But what has made him so highly regarded in Parliament is not his impressive presence, not his never-silent voice, not his repute as a courtroom law- yer in criminal and civil cases, PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM A physician says dynamite fs an excellent tonic. A person must be . careful though, in using it, lest he get too great a lift from it, Saving time is well and good, but it is deplorable that time can't be placed in storage for future use. "There is an acute shortage of skeletons," says a medical journal, Maybe so, but all peo- Ple we've seen recently seemed to have normal quota of one each. Not even the fact that he typi- fies the Canadian a Babe barefoot-boy to public success. No, his respect here is based on the immense Tange of subjects on which he is deeply informed, 'I. guess I am a 'political' _Teader," he confessed to me; « "so I know when it comes up. But_I don't pre y peo lg prepare my Eldon was born and raised on & wheat farm near Rosetown, Sask. where his father had homesteaded in 1905. When the Dusty Thirties dumped the price of wheat from $1.70 to 23 cents per bushel, 12-year-old © Eldon, just finishing Grade 8, had to quit school to help Papa on the farm. But his education did not end: With his books propped up, on the well while. he drew water, near the end of his nose while he performed other repetitive farm chores, he learned the poems of Byron and Browning, and he studied his way through high school by cor. respondence. Then the hard- working clever young lad won a Leonard Foundation Scholarship which took him to his Bachelor of Laws degree Saskatchewan. MAMA HIS BEST COACH A great part of Eldon's orators. cal skill is in his play-actor's gestures and voice control, the- atrical arts which he learned from his mother, who encour. aged him to participate fully in the concerts and dramatics at the crowded one-room I house. "Those concerts were to us children what the television is to today's children," he said. Today, senior partner in a suc- cessful law firm in Calgary, he is a natural as his Party's best pinch-hitter in debate, Thus typ- ically, when NDP MP David Lewis proposed that election ex- penses should be regulated, and in part paid by the taxpayer, political strategy was to talk out: this impracticable proposal. You guessed it, Eldon Woolliams was rushed into the breach. Parry- ing questions and pouring infor- mation, so interesting that even Liberal critic Jack Pi paid close attention, El poured out a stream of figures which most of his hearers had never heard before, dealing with the costs of four past elections, and commented expertly on the trend they disclose. To professional politicians, his subject matter was of great im terest; to any student of polls ties, his extemporaneous oration was admirable, made possible only by one of the finest intel- lects ever grown on a Saskat- chewan wheat farm. at University of QUEEN'S PARK Dogfight Expected On Redistribution By DON O'HEARN TORONTO --It looks like a dog-fight over redistribution. At the time of writing there has been one brush in the house over it. There is promise of more. And in the meantime there is nasty gossip in the corridors. The rumors, which have been started by the opposition, are that Premier Robarts is trying to stall off a full redistribution. They imply that the premier has conveyed as much to the Royal Commission, and that it is stringing along. The premier, it is said, does not want anything more than an interim report which would give Toronto suburbs a few ex- tra seats and have the res' of the province in the status quo, He wants it this way, it is said, because the Commission had intended to recommend 20 ee ridings to the present And he didn't want to fight 20 new seats in the next election, particularly as they would be mainly urban, the area in which the PCs are weakest at the mo- ment. The rumors are getting the READERS' VIEWS BASEBALL GUIDES Dear Sir: I wonder if your 'Letters to the Editor" readers can help in a search for some obsolete baseball books. I am trying to fill out a set of the Reach and Spalding Official Baseball Guides. These are annual base- ball record books which were published yearly from 1877 to 1941 and are familiar to the old timers among the readers of The Times who can "go way back." The war brought an end to publication of the Guides mak- ing it a problem to complete the set, hence this 'appeal to you. Since the Oshawa area has always been hep to baseball some of these books may be in the hands of your subscribers who might wish to dispose of them. Many Guides are just lying in. the way around the house or are stored in the attics and cellars of veteran baseball buffs. I will gladly reimburse them for any copies and will be very grateful if they would write and let me know which books they have. Hoping there is an element of unique novelty and unusual interest to all in my plea and especially, that the senior citi- zens among The Times readers might benefit thereby, I am WILLIAM PUCKNER 83-68th street, Guttenberg, New Jersey, U.S.A. prominence they are mainly be. cause of a mysterious visit by the chairman of the royal com- mission to Liberal Leader John Wintermeyer and NDP leader Donald MacDonald. Mr. Justice Richardson, ac. cording to the two leaders, tried to sound them out as to their reaction if a report were not brought down this year. The leaders want to know why the chairman would visit them if he wasn't sent at least indl- rectly by the government. The point, of course, would be to save Premier' Robarts' em. barrassment. For last spring the premier gave every assurancg that the Commission's report would be on hand in time for a redistribution at this session. Both leaders are determined that there will be a redistribu tion. _And the first of many good fights looming for this session could be over it. MACAULAY NEWS Hon, Robert Macaulay is con- tinuing to keep the limelight to the continuing» we some of his colleagues. i In the first few days of the session the Minister of Econo. mics and Development managed to hit the news pages at least once a day and sometimes more. ; He appointed a woman to head a consumers branch, gave out details of his new industrial development program, had the first meeting of his housing ad- visory committee and generally was busy, busy. What the colleagues who re- sent him can't see is that first of all Mr. Macaulay is bwin | imagination and drive, whic they aren't, and secondly that his department is one that makes news. It is a department of devel- opment. It does new things while many departments here are merely administrative. And "'new" things, of course, make news. IMPERIAL EST'D. 1858 WOOL Mam Yfilter!
