She Oshawa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E,, Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1963 -- PAGR 6 Problem Of Pollution Much Closer To Home "The exhaust gases of rockets could cPeate a serious problem of pollution {a the upper atmosphere, scientists now warn us. And because of the glamour surrounding the explora- tion of space and the frantic con- cern of so many people about the problems of space, it is quite possible that a substantial effort will be made to cut down or eliminate the pollution of the upper atmosphere. That will be all to the good. But tiéanwhile, there is a massive lack of concern about the much more immediate and urgent problem of pollution of the lower atmosphere-- of the air that each one of us breathes and of the water we drink. It is the old story of distant pastures -- the less pressing matter always seems more interesting and easier to handle. The filthy creek in our backyard, the fumes we breathe every time we walk the street, the smoke that dirties our clothes and corrodes our building -- well, these are the ills we must bear, because we might step on somebody's toes if we complain too much. Or do we have to bear them? We do not, They concern our present health, our physical and property values, our future well being and the future of our chil- dren. It used to be said that smoke pouring from stacks was a sign of prosperity; it meant that factories were busy. But progressive indus- tries have proved that the smoke is not so much a sign of prosperity as of conspicuous waste -- of in- efficient combustion. Those indus- tries have also found that being good citizens, by reducing pollution, is also profitable; the improved combustion and traps to. recover chemicals from the wastes that do escape have saved them money. In other words, there are ways to beat pollution without hurting produc- tion. It just takes a little thought and desire, Move To Church Unity BY THE REV. JOHN R. LENG St. Andrew's United Church There are signs that the Christian Church has taken a long stride within recent years towards coming to grips with a problem that has bedevilled it for centuries. This has been aptly called "the scandal of division". The recognition that a scandal exists is sufficient cause: to take steps to get rid of it. Mergers of denominations and conversations between churches on the question of unity are healthy indications of a lively concern over division. These must be viewed by the Churches involved, however, as a step only. There is a long road ahead with many curves and potholes. Protes- tants and Roman Catholics alike must view these achievements and efforts with gratitude and maintain an attitude of infinite patience. It ought to be obvious that.to try to reach the destination of -Church unity at headlong speed is to invite disaster. It is clear, also, that to permit the cynics to stall these moves toward unity will push the roots of our scandal deeper and will make it more deplorable. Progress towards unity will oc- cupy Church authorities in the months ahead. It is necessary that dialogue should continue at eccle- siastical high levels. It would be a grave error, however, if this were the only place at which discussion took place. Already, in Canada, fruit- ful interchange between Protestant and Roman Catholic scholars and churchmen (lay and ordained) is taking place. These are informal "get-togethers". Such gatherings promote that understanding and goodwill essential to ultimate unity. More of these informal rendezvous are imperative. This will take initia- tive at the local level. The results would have a direct and important bearing upon this vital world move- ment, Cheers For The British Between the weather and critics like Dean Acheson and Charles de Gaulle, Britain has been taking quite a beating in recent weeks. But 'one of these days the winds will 'shift to the south, and warmer 'voices than those of the critics are 'being raised to remove at least the 'chill that comes with lack of ap- preciation. One of the warm voices is that of Brooks Atkinson, who recently wrote in the New York Times: The British are people of remark- able character. Their intellectual clarity and alertness, their moral force, their standards of decency and their long political experience remain 'unimpaired. If they had nothing else to put on the table, their unique character would be a negotiable asset, particularly in a world of debased values. It 'was character that reduced their military and economic resour- ces. They lost two generations of their finest young men in wars fought in defence of freedom. They have lost their empire with dignity. They made it inevitable by defining, She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

But, make no mistake about the fact that he's still in control down there, that, like most dictators, he has had enemies from the moment he took power. So, while he may be battling for his political -ife, as the "reliable" reports say, chances are he is still fairly snug in his rug, that it's going to take more than fervent prayers, hateful thoughts, and wishful thinking to dislodge him. from his island fortress. CANADA -- JAPAN ECONOMIC CONFERENCE 'PLEASE STICK TO CHOPSTICKS' WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Enough Weapons To Kill Every Russian 25 Times Milwaukee Journal: Premier Khrushchev was probably right when he told his Communist comrades in east Berlin that the United States has 40,000 nu- clear warheads which could kill up to 800 million peopie, wiping out whole nations. No American official has issued specific figures; none will confirm or deny the state- ment by the Soviet leader. Pres- ident Kennedy has declared, however, that Khrushchev "knows that we could destroy the Soviet Union," and Roswell Gilpatric, deputy secretary of defence, said in a 1961 speech: "The total number of our. nu- clear delivery vehicles, tactical as well as strategic, is in the tens of thousands; and, of course, we have more than one warhead for each vehicle." This much we also know-- The United States now has about 200 intercontinental bal- listic missiles in position. At sea are 10 Polaris submarines carrying a total of 160 mis- siles with ranges of 1,200 miles or more. Some 1,500 strategic bombers and hundreds of siia!!- er land and carrier based planes can deliver nuclear destruction. The army has shorter range nuclear cannon and rockets. Furthermore, America's nu- clear. arsenal is growing. By 1965 intercontinental missiles will number more than 1,000 and we shall have 30 Polaris submarines on station -- a total of 480 missiles with ranges in- creased to 2,500 miles, How far can such massive de- terrence and retaliation be sensibly and safely carried? How much represents neces- sary protection? How much is costly and dangerous waste? Where is the end? Physicist Ralph Lapp says in his book, ."'Kill and Overkill," that the United States now has enough nuclear weapons iv iill every man, woman and child in the Soviet Union 25 times over. By 1966, he claims, we shall have weapons enough to Kill them 50 times over. "What earthly justification can there be,"' he asks, "'for piling up any such deluge of destruction?" Lapp and others are worried about a war touched off by acci- dent. Oskar Morgenstern, pro- fessor of political economy at Princeton and a defence depart- ment consultant, writes in the current Fortune magazine: "Someday there will be an accidental explosion of a nu- clear weapon, a pure accident, which has nothing to do wiih military or political plans, in- tentions or operations, The human mind cannot construct TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan, 26, 1963... An order - in - council authorized flying of the Ca- nadian Red Ensign from all buildings owned or occu- pied by the Canadian gov- ernment outside Canada 39 years ago today--in 1924. In 1945 this was amended to allow its flying within the country until "such time as action is taken by Pariia- ment for the formal 'adop- tion of a national flag." Since then the question of A national flag has fre- quently been raised but re- mains unresolved, 1950 -- The 'Dominion of India' became a_ republic within the Commonwealth 1939 -- The Loyalists sur- rendered Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War. something that is infallible. Ac- cordingly, the laws of probabil- ity virtually guarantee such an accident. . . . With thousands of nuclear weapons in existence, the danger of a nuclear acci- dent in the world is increas- ing." Before his death, Thomas Murray, who was known as the "conscience of the AEC" dur- ing the years from 1950 to 1957 that he served on the atomic energy commissicn, wrote: "For the last decade, we Ameri- cans have subscribed to a strategy not of force but of vio- lance -- excessive, incredible and politically irrelevant." Mur- ray called for a "dismantling of the age of terror." As we build our arsenal ever bigger and better the Soviet Union does the same. Each country tries frantically to keep ahead of the other to insure se- curity. Each says it has only a deterrent -- but the very exis- tence of increasing weaponry not only invites eventual use of it but increases the chance of disastrous accident. Logic provides but one solu- tion -- no effort must be spared to find a way to nuclear test bans and arms control, always, of course, with adequate and checkable guarantees. The Rus- sians no less than we must realize that there is no other rational course in the end, Sudbury Star: There's some- thing pathetic about the appeals coming out of the West, the plaintive pleas from the Trail Smoke Eaters that perhaps every province could chip in and help the boys get over to Europe to do battle for the so-called world hockey championship, As the limbo song puts it, how low ¢an you go? What kind of a kettle of fish is this when Canada, the home of hockey, the birthplace of all hockey players worth while, the land where nearly everybody talks hockey to some degree, finds itself with a representative for a world championship (even if of dubious stature) begging around to get its team to the scene of conflict? A good case can be made out for not even entering such so- called: world championships. Every Canadian, if not the rest of the world, knows that the best hockey team in the world -- or the best 10, 20 or 30 -- are pro- fessional teams that are barred from the European competitions to which we regularly send what are often second-rate. teams even by our amateur standards, such as they are. So why com- pete? There are those who contend that Canada, as the home of hockey must compete, even more so in recent years when other countries have been able to put together teams that can give the Dominion's entry a battle, and from time to time beat them. The time to grace- fully withdraw would have been back in the dear dead days when it was a foregone conclu- sion that Canada would take the world (or Olympic, every four years) title, with only the occa- sional close call, like perhaps a 7-2 victory. But nobody has come up with a method of assembling and en- tering the best Canadian team, apart altogether from the pros. So the previous year's Allan Cup winner, or some other team that expresses an interest is entered. The results have been generally unsatisfactory to Canadians in recent years, but even more de- plorable has been the begging so often necessary to finance the extensive travel and other costs incurred. The Trail team is only the latest example. The government won't foot the bill-- with good reason. The Canadian Amateur Hockey Association may help, but that's all. So such hoary cliches as "national pride' or "civic pride'? are hauled out in efforts to part people from money that could very well be put to better pur- poses. It's been a sorry picture in re- cent years, If hockey teams or hockey associations can't pay the shot to enter teams in hock- ey tournaments, let them grace- fully decline entry in the tourna- ments and spare us all not only the comparatively shabby show- ings they make, but the hat-in- hand appearances they make in order to get where they have to go to make those showings.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The British gov- ernment is pressing on with its negotiations for entry into the European Common Market, but after President de Gaulle's bold declaration that he does not ex- pect or want Britain to join, the British effort is somewhat of a forlorn hope. Outside of govern- ment circles in London, that de- scribes the general feeling of commentators and political ob- servers. It is recognized that, if he wishes to do so, General de Gaulle can keep Britain out of the Common Market, even if the five other countries of the Six are anxious for British entry. Under Article 237 of the Treaty of Rome, de Gaulle has an abso- lute power of vote, if he chooses to exercise it. In fact, he has a double power of veto. ARTICLE 237 Article 273 of the Treaty of Rome reads as follows: "Any Europezn State may apply to become a member of the Community, It shall address its application to the Council, which after obtaining the opin- ion of the Commission shall act by means of a UNANIMOUS vote, "The conditions of admission and the amendments to this treaty necessitated thereby shall be the subject of an agreement between the member states and the applicant state. Such agree- ment shall be submitted to ALL THE CONTRACTING STATES for ratification in accordance with their respective constitu- tional rules." So, if President de Gaulle means what he says, and sticks to it, he has it in his power to keep Britain out, and is likely to use that power, The other five countries of the Six would have no power to override his veto. TRICKY ANGLES There are, however, some rather tricky angles in the new situation which has developed. De Gaulle may very well not wish to take the onus of break- ing off the negotiations and thereby antagonizing his five par'ners in the European Eco- nomic Community. He would very much prefer that any breaking off, if and when it be- comes necessary, should be done by the British Government, so as to save his face. Probably that is why the British team has decided to go-on negotiating. In the meantime, the five other countries in the Common Market will put all the pressure they can upon the Frénch presi- dent o relax his aiude of out- right opposition to Britain's entry. Knowing just how inflex- ible the French president can be once he had decided upon a course of acticn, I do not see PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Few of us get what we de- serve -- for which most of us should thank our lucky star. There are few people who are rude enough to interrupt money when it's talking. Man is fast becoming obsol- ete," says a scientist. It's de- plorable that it isn't possible to retool for a new model. much hope that they will be successful in their efforts, It would also be useless for President Kennedy of the United States to try his powers of persuasion on de Gaulle, be- cause the very thing at which de Gaulle seems to be aiming to keep the United States from becoming closely involved in 'European Economic and politi- cal affairs. Summing it all up, the general view in this country is that the chances of Britain joining the Common Market now have been reduced to practically nil, and the government must re- concile itself to the task of se- curing for itself all the credit possible for staying put because it could not accept the terms and conditions which the French seek to impose. Undoubtedly, that would add to its stature in the minds of the British people, the majority of whom are now dead against entry into the Com- mon Market. BOOM YEAR For the first time in six years, the Naticnal Coal Board achieved a surplus in 1962. This achievement was announced by its chairman, Lord Robens, who intimated that the board would show a 1962 surplus of between three and six million dollars, after paying over $129 million in interest charges. That is in- deed a welcome change in the fortunes of the Coal Board, which a the previous five years piled deficits a a Lord Robens described 1962 as a "vintagey ear" fort he coal is industry. It not only a its first surplus for six Production by its miners the year was up over the by eight per cent, to' highest level on record, and the percentage of coal loaded by mechanical loaders rose from 48 per cent in 1961 to 63 cent at the end of 1962. was. one of the major factors in producingthe surplus, The year was also a good one for the miners, Al h the number of men employed in the coal industry dropped by 25,000, in the cours eof the year, the amount paid out for wages and salaries went up by $30,000,000, This increase, said Lord Robens, was due to the higher tion rate achieved. still fewer men will be employ- ed in 1963, Lord Robens is bud- getting for a higher wage bill than in 1962. Lord Robens has worked won- ders in the short time during which he has been chairman of the National Coal Board and is being given much of the credit for this drastically changed pice ture in the industry. OTTAWA REPORT Thoughts In Wake Ot PC Convention By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Delegates and their wives and associates to the number of 3,000 who flocked into Ottawa, crowded out the Chateau Laurier Hotel for three days of politicking under the Conservative banner, are gone. There were loud huzzs. But of course we got a_ little bit cynical here about these petiti- cal circuses. What does it all add up to? Look at the set-up here last week, It was billed officially as the "Annual General Meet- ings" of the Progressive Con- servative Association of Can- ada, the Progressive Conserva- tive Women's . Association of Canada, the Young Progressive Conservatives of Canada, and the Progressive Ccnservative Student Federation. The aver- age delegate laid $150 of his own money, and four days of his time, on the line. No Liberals, Socreds or socialists were in- vited, Under those circumstances, would you expect them to boo the Conservaiive government? Of course hot, they zave "their side" three rousing caeers, they whooped it up, and they went home happy. But it would be misleading to assume that those 3,000 Tory supporters and dedi- cated workers were representa- tive of the average of Canada's 10,000,000 registered voters, Last June, 2,867,553 Canadians voted for the Conservative can- didate of their choice and dis- trict in the general election; it is not surprising that approxi- mately one of every thousand of those Conservatively-inclined voters came to Ottawa to cheer their party last week. But let's not get led astray. While 37 per QUEEN'S PARK Pub Improvement Strongly Opposed By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- No, ducks, you won't be able to throw darts in an Ontario pub. You might hit a patron on his part he would be sitting on if he weren't standing up. The dream of having Ontario beverage rooms on a standard to equal the English pub has been revived again--for how many years and how many times? It is the president of O'Keefe's Brewery, W. D. Whitaker, who has made the latest plea for im- proving our beverage rooms. Ho, hum, Mr, Whitaker. Your words are good. But it is to be feared they are wasted. In your time and my time it is most unlikely we will be able to go into a beverage room to relax--in peace, quiet, enc per- haps some small gamesmanship with friends and neighbors. Those of our beverage rooms that are drinking factories it seems, will probably stay mar- ble temples to barleycora with nothing to distract from the main business of selling and drinking drink. OPERATORS WORST The operators--those of them that are bad operators--want tt this way. Only a club over the head from the government would make them change. And the government won't swing that club. For it's afraid it will hit a hornet's nest if it does. ALL HOWL Everybody except Ontario's unborn children knows that many of our beverage rooms are a disgrace. The government know it as well, or better, than anyone else. But! If it takes the one ap- proach that can bring correc- tion--direct orders to the opera- tors to improve conditions--it - be breeding a heap of trou- e. The Temperance Federation will accuse it of encouraging the sale of booze. Church authorities will say something along the same line. If it authorizes more outlets-- and experts will agree that the small neighborhood pub is the best approach for rational drink- ing--school and local municipal authorities probably will chime in on the protests. If it permits sale of meals in beverage rooms--recognized as another step towards good drinking--the restaurant owners will complain. And anything it does to order improvement -in premises will meet with loud protest from li- cence holders that they are al- ready going bankrupt. In other words everybody wi!) howl, And there is nothing more ten- der than a politician's ear. So little is doné--or attempted. cent of the voters supported Conservative candidates last June, only 33 per cent of Cana- dians say they would do the same today. SPREAD THE FAITH Even to keep their present minority position, every one of those 3,000 enthusiastic visitors to Ottawa must go home and make sure that he or she mar- shals 1,000 voters behind the lo- cal Conservative candidate at the next election. Can they im- prove on that ?Thereon hangs the unpredictable future. There is a realistic, praise- worthy, hard - headed core to the Conservative parliamentary party which hoped to see strength generated for their cause at that party gathering in Ottawa. But they were sorely disappointed. And stemming from this disappointment, this column is due to eat a little crow. We predicted that: 'John Hamilton, one of the brightest stars of the Conservative back benches in the last Parliament, seems certain to be elected as the new president of the pity." Alas, he was mot even a candi- date, for he dropped out at the llth hour. He was offered a job as director of Canadian Pacific Airlines, with the fairly imme- diate elevation from the post of executive assistant to the chair- man to the post of chairman, succeeding Grant McConachie who will shortly retire on ac- count of ill health, _It was sad for the Conserva- tive Party that this irresistible offer was made just before the convention, The party was caught short, and just 90 min- utes before the balloting, ex-MP Egan Chambers was proposed as a substitute candidate and duly elected. BACKROOM WIZARD We also predicted that "'the shrewd and experienced" Mel Jack, a 30-year labourer in the Conservative vineyard and for- mer friend and aide of John Diefenbaker, would be ap- pointed and widely welcomed as national director of the party organiatiozn, There is wide spread sympathy among Tories with the assertion of YPC Henry Beaumont, who said that if the Tory party is to gain any lasting victory, it must rid ite self of the advertising agency techniques of "men like Gros- sart" and return to basic prin- ciples. But this Mel Jack versus Grossart school somehow lost out in the crush of those 3,000 emotional Tories, and so this column's record of predictions for that Tory gathering ended up with two guesses, both wrong. But I still maintain that both were wise. CARPET COMP, 282 King W. a 728-9581 BROADLOOM, DRAPES, TILE, PAINT AND WALLPAPEP 135 SIMCOE ST. NORTH @ RESIDENT PARTNERS Gordon W. Riehl, C.A., R.1A.
