he Ostyavon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1963--PAGE 6 i De Gaulle Gets Blame For Test Talk Failure According to Washington reports, the United States government re- gards Premier Khrushchev's deci- sion to break off the latest round of nuclear test ban talks as a direct result of the split in the Atlantic alliance engineered by French Presi- dent de Gaulle. The U.S. authorities believe Khrushchev may see a developing opportunity to exploit a rift in the Western alliance, and he does not want to limit his future range of action in any way by pursuing a policy of agreement at this time. The test ban discussions between the U.S., Britain and the Soviet Union opened a little more than three weeks ago, and seemed to be making some slight but encouraging progress when they were broken off by Khrushchev last Thursday. There will be another opportunity when an 18-nation disarmament committee, which includes the three major nuclear powers and Canada, meets in Geneva on Feb. 12. But U.S. preparations for an underground test is not likely to create a hope- ful atmosphere. There had been hope that all nuclear testing would have been halted by Jan. 1. Russia had sug- gested a moratorium, but the United States and Britain refused, on the ground that Russia had broken the last unpoliced moratorium and therefore could not be trusted. There was, however, no official agreement on the last moratorium. This was pointed out recently by James Wadsworth, former U.S. am- bassador to the United Nations and now head of the Peace Research Ins- titute in Washington. He recalled that in 1959 President Eisenhower proclaimed that, as far as the United -- States was concerned, there was no moratorium and that the U.S. felt free to resume testing at any time. The moratorium was therefore a unilateral one, announced and later broken by the Soviet Union. In that period, the U.S. did no testing, but resumed after the Soviet Union ended its own announced "'quiet period", These events will have no influ- ence on the Geneva talks, but at last their recollection provides an historical background. Single Class In Air Years ago, there was only one class of travel on air lines and one scale of fares between two given points. The Milwaukee Journal points out that now there are many, and new ones are announced every few months. This often confuses and frustrates the traveler. It piles added expense on the air lines. Most of the large jet liners now have two "class" compartments, two sets of stewardeses serving two different kinds of meals. And frequently the roomy seats in the first class section are mostly vacant while in the "coach" compartment passengers are packed in so tight they can scarcely wiggle. The Jour- nal continues: More and more travellers are unwilling to pay higher fares for "first class" accommodations and 'frills. In December, 1961, 36.6% 'were traveling first class; last 'December 29.8%. United Airlines has now an- nounced a new single class service on certain routes. The, fare will be slightly higher than coach fare but considerably less than first class. Seats will be roomier than under present coach arrangements. There will be good meals and excellent service, the line promises, but with- out all the frills now provided first class passengers. In this manner, plane capacity can be better and more profitably utilized, United says. Savings in ticketing, food handling and other services are exe pected to be substantial. Whether other air lines will follow this lead, and when, will doubtless depend on how popular and profitable the new class proves. There seems little reason why com- fortable, single class air liners with reasonable fares should not do well, both for passengers and operators. Preserving Eyesight ' This is White Cane Week, dedica- 'ted tothe prevention of blindness, and David Hatton of the Canadian 'National Institute for the Blind has 'taken the occasion to salute the Wise 'Owl Club of Canada. He notes that "since CNIB took over the Club 18 'months ago, 450 industrial workers have received awards for saving their eyes from injury or blindness by wearing safety glasses when on- the-job accidents occurred." The Club was begun in a United States City in 1947, when an in- dustrial worker dropped the idea into his company's suggestion box. His suggestion went into effect at once and met with over-night suc- cess. Other plants in the same city took up the program and soon the Wise Owl movement began to spread. : By the mid 1950s the movement had entered Canada through United States firms with Canadian branch- "es. In 1961 CNIB became respon- a T. L. WILSON, Publisher . C.

"Safety glasses really perform miracles," the CNIB chairman said. "Accidents happen in a split second. One minute everything is under control and the next, an accident is taking place." He spoke of one man who was digging a manhole on a city street with his head and shoulders above the ground. A stone from a passing car shattered the right lens of his safety glasses. This accident was un- expected and one of those which most people would say "it can't hap- pen to me." White Cane Week is under way.

Other Editors' Views TRADE WITH U.S. (London Free Press) Canada may be one among many trading partners of the United States, but has drawn the doubtful distinction of being a major cause for America posting another big international trade deficit. The Canadian dollar crisis and the aus- terity program drew reproach as major blows contributing to the two billion U.S. deficit for 1962.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A school which has been an established educa- tional institution in the Croydon borough of London since the year 1599 is to be demolished and the school, itself moved to a new location. This school is the Trinity School of John Whit- gift, which occupies a site of 12 acres in the heart of Croydon's main shopping area. When the school is demolished, it will make way for a $36 million shopping and office develop- ment, plans for which have been announced by Alderman Sir James Marshall, as chair- man of the board of governors of the school. Sir James announced that Plans had been completed for the joint development of the property with Ravenseft Prop- erties, the principal subsidiary of the Land Securities Invest- ment Trust: Plans were made some years ago for a new site for YOUR HEALTH Woman Terrified Of Psychoanalysis By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr, Molner: My physi- cian says I need psychoanalysis and I am petrified. I think I know the difference between psychiatry and psychoanalysis. However I am fearful of deep probing. My problems started in early childhood but I have heard so many things about analysis and ali the so-called Freudian jokes that I question the doctor's judgment. I thought that psychoanalysis is considered outmoded. I know that a psychoanalyst is not an M.D. and I can't understand why my physician would direct me to one, I haven't been back to him. I don't understand why he didn't give me those wonderful tranquillizers, but he claimed that my trouble was beyond his field as an internist and he di- rected me to where he thought there is help. I feel he does not want me as a patient. What do you think? I'm so scared I don't know what to do.--P.M. In plain language, you're still mixed up on some facts. First, psychiatrists (and hence also those who have continued. into the field of analysis are doctors of medicine. Second, I feel sure you will ultimately be surprised to find out how little 'probing' is in. volved. It is a highly skilled art of helping the patient do his own inspecting of the facts in his life, past and_ present. Douviiess it's natural for any- body to be on edge beforehand, not knowing what is going to TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Feb. 5, 1963 ... Queen Victoria instituted the order of the Victoria Cross 107 years ago today-- in 1856 -- toward the end of the Crimean War, It is the highest British decora- tion for "conspicuous brav- ery or devotion to the coun- try in the presence of the enemy." The decoration is a bronze Maltese cross bearing in the centre the royal crown surmounted by a lion, and with the scroll "For Valour." The decora- tion has been awarded to 80 members of the Canadian forces and to 23 Canadians serving with British forces. 1862 -- Battle Hymn of the Republic, written by Julia Ward Howe, was sung for the first time in the Ameri- can Civil War by Union troops, 1956 -- A cold wave Europe claimed 147 li happen, but this feeling fades away rapidly once you see that there is nothing to fear. Third, there's no reason why your pyhcaiisn should try to get rid of you. It would be easy to keep you tamed with tran- quilizers, but it wouldn't cure anything, He is honest enough to say so. Fourth, it seems to me that your fears and suspicions are an indication of your upset state, and life is going to be far happier when you learn how to shed some of them. Fifth, yes, I've heard the Freudian jokes, too, a couple of thousand of them, I guess, by this time. But I attach a great deal more significance to a re- mark that a fine analyst once made to me: "Some of these patients come in and start spouting the most lurid recitals of their sexual ex- periences. Many a time I've had to say, 'But Madame, why are you telling me all this?' "They look blank and say, 'T thought I was supposed to.' After we get past that and get. down to the real problems, we begin to make some progress." Laugh at the Freudian jokes if they're funny, but don't let them mislead you. the John Whitgift school. Sir James said that the Whitgift governors had bought the site of the Shirley Park Hotel some years ago, at a convenient mo- ment before the prices of land had begun to sky-rocket. He said: "We are now eliminating the notel and will in a few days ask for tenders for what will be one of the most modern schools in the country. Approval for the school has already been obtained from the ministry of education." Of the present Whitgift site in Croydon, which is to be re- developed Sir James said: "TI feel this -- a virgin site except for one or two buildings --- is almost unique and of extraordinary importance." SEVERAL FIRMS BID It is revealed that many firms had taken part in the com- petition to be the developers of this Croydon property. After narrowing the applicants first down to eight and then to three, the Governors finally decided that the Ravenseft plan was the best. The blocks of offices which will rise on the site of the an- cient school will have 411,000 Square feet of space. Under- neath them will be garage facili- ties for 456 cars. Shoppers will be able to park their cars. in two multi-storey garages which will accommodate 1600 vehicles. Pedestrians will have access to the shopping centre on the site from Wellesley Road, across Wellesley Road through a pedes- trian subway, and from Poplar Walk. The only access for ve- hicles will be from Wellesley Road. Work on the new scheme will not be started, of course, until the new school is built and the staff and pupils transferred to it, but the actual construction is timed to begin in 1965, PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "Seventy - two per cent of American husbands share dish- washing duty," says a statisti- cian who should have kept his big mouth shut. That many people try to get something for nothing is as de- plorable as the fact that a con- siderable per cent of them suc- ceed in doing so. An eccentric is a person whose idiosyncrasies are differ- ent from yours. BY-GONE DAYS Thirty-one women were list- ed in a volunteer nursing train- ing course at the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital.

OTTAWA REPORT Rowe Appointment Climax To Career By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--On the farmlands of Ontario and on Parliament Hill at Ottawa, the appointment of Earl Rowe to be lieutenant- governor of this province is equally popular, To progress from a boy raised on a farm in Simcoe County, to being the Queen's personal representative at Queen's Park in Toronto is a great achieve- ment, To have built four ca- reers in one lifetime, and to have won success in each, is an even greater achievement. But Earl Rowe himself would prob- ably with modesty and gratitude rate as the greatest success of his life the fact that his careers have been overshadowed by friendships unlimited all the way. "When I was two years old, my father moved to Simcoe County and took up farming on the land which my son Bill now farms," Mr. Rowe told me. Nearby is his own farm, and also the farm run by his younger son Lennox. Bill's farm once, in Ontario's early days, changed hands for a cow an axe and' a jug of whisky. But the 1,000 Rowe acres today house the Rowelands stables with their 85 standard bred horses and barns with large herds of short- horn cattle. Their hugely in- creased value is an eloquent tri- bute to the husbandry of Earl Rowe and his sens, not to men- tion his father. FOUR LIVES, FOUR WINS So farming has' been my basic interest," said the lieuten- ant-governor-elect. "'But I have had a variety of other interests too: Politics, industr y and sport."" As a politician, he has spent 44 years in elected office at the various levels of government. He was first a councillor then reeve of Gwillimbury township; after that he sat in the Ontario legislature; later he was elected QUEEN'S PARK Better To Obtain MD Co-Operation By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Darn you Don! As an acquaintance on a day to day basis one likes NDP Leader Donald MacDonald. As a person he is likeable. As @ politician he is a pain in the neck. His latest departure is to try and get a spitting match under- way with Liberal Leader John Wintermeyer. This tactic is apparently his reply to the Liberal medicare plan, He has accused the Liberal Leader of having a secret meet- ing with a group of local doc- tors and of using certain fig- ures as the potential cost of his plan. And to try and show Mr. Wint- ermeyer isn't a-man of his word he goes back to the natural gas "scandal." Wihat can one say to oneself except "rubbish." If by talking to doctors Mr. Wintermeyer is going to get their co-operation for the plan he has decided is best, then we say go ahead and talk--in pri- vate or not. When men are selling their professional services--co-opera- tion, even if grudging, is import. ant. You probably think it is your right to work where and as you want to. And if it is necessary for the state to take away some of this right, you certainly are going to be in a lot better mood --and do a lot better work--if it consults you on it. The writer also can't stomach the criticism of Mr. Winter- meyer by Mr. MacDonald and others that he hasn't stuck by the plan he originally outlined. (And we aren't even too sure that he hasn't). In government the one man you really don't respect is the man how stands still. If Mr. Wintermeyer is able to develop and refine his plan we say all the more power to him. He is a man constructively at work, GIVE FACTS And so to Mr. MacDonald a word: Tell us where Mr. Wintermye- er's plan is wrong and where yours is right. Tell us particularly things such as how the increase in cor- poration tax you intend to fi- nance it with will not harm the economy and ployment. You get your name in the pa- pers a bit with this type of thing. And perhaps the public --when it is judging spitters-- will give you some applause as the best spitter we have. But when it comes to put- ting people there to run its af- fairs it will be judged on dif- ferent standards. Shake this one nasty habit, boy, and you will have this writer and a lot of other people if not actually pulling for you at least giving you respect and consideration. increase unem- to the federal House of Com- mons and in 1935 was a to the Cabinet. He eee sees a she canetite- ency mcoe, repre- senting that seat ever since it was created 38 years ago. Just before the war, there was a short break in his membership, when he was selected as leader of his party in the field; he fought one lost, and returned to the House of Commons by means of an acclamation in the -- by his earlier resigna- ion. That long representation of his home riding has made him Dean of the House, a position he in- herited from his son-in-law, the late pie. es who. had represen renville - Ontario, for 37 years one died in 1958. His widow Jean Rowe Casselman, contested the seat which she now has won in two elections, thus with her fa- ther forming the first father- daughter combination in our parliament. As an industrialist, Mr. Rowe served for 16 years as president and managing director of a pa- per-making company. More fas- cinating to him have been his forty and odd years as a horse- man. He is the only Canadian who has driven his own Cana- dian-bred horse 'n the famous Hambletonian Stakes in the United States, that horse, Van- Riddell, later became the great- est trotting - horse sire, in his driver's opinion. And Earl should know, for after starting at county fairs he graduated to driving at tracks all over On- tario end more recently at big new tracks from Montreal to Saratoga. Night racing has done more than anything for this sport, he told me. It used to be just sport plus expenses for the participants; now since the lights came, it is pleasure for the crowds and sport plus busi- ness for the racers. Old - time hustings orator, county fair racer, Ontario farm boy: This all adds up to a new look in protocol when Ontario has its new Queen's representa» tive next month. And Earl Rowe's many friends in farm- ing, politics, industry and rac ing--even those on the other side--will be wishing him happi- ness and success in his new and greatly honoring career.
