She Oshawa Tines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Traffic Report Points To What Was Obvious A couple of years ago the then Attorney-General of Ontario, the Hon. Kelso Roberts, had the Traffic Institute of Northwestern Univer- sity (Tilinois) make a study of traffic supervision on provincial highways and recommended how much super- vision could be improved to reduce highway accidents. The Institute made the study and duly reported, but for some obscure reason the report. was not made public until quite recently. And when it ap- peared, it said at length what On- tario newspapers had been saying more succintly for some time: That more OPP patrol cars on the high- ways would impose caution on drivers and reduce the number of accidents. | The Provincial Police operate on }anm area system. The Traffic Insti- tute suggests that they adopt a linear system, whereby the busier highways would have regular patrols with cruisers limited to a "beat" of not more than 20 miles of highway. The police and the institute's experts can argue the merits of their pet systems. What has been obvious to observers of the traffic Boys Clubs A Boys' Club building is now well under way in Oshawa, and it will fill a long-felt need. There has been no public appeal for funds, which are being raised by private subscription, but the whole com- munity will benefit from this project. What is a Boys' Club? The bulle- tin of the Boys' Clubs of Canada defines it this way: "An open door to boys regardless of creed, color or condition, with a membership fee so low that the poorest boy can afford to belong on an equal basis. It is an open door that leads to the constructive use * of a boy's spare time -- at work in the craft and hobby classes, at play in the gymnasium, the swimming pool or in the games rooms, at leisure in the library or at study for leadership responsibilities, through group clubs, 'all operating on a daily basis under the friendly supervision of trained leaders as- scene in Ontario for many years is that there are not nearly enough police cruisers out on the highways. That is not the fault of the Ontario Provincial Police, but of the pro- vincial administration ; if the patrols are to be increased, the force must be increased in both men and ma- chines. . The appearance of a police cruiser on a highway has a distinctly sober- ing effect on motorists; the greater the "exposure" of the police, the more lasting the sobering effect will be. Did the Attorney-General need a team from Northwestern Univer- sity to discover this fact, which had been obvious to so many On- tario residents for so long? The Peterborough Examiner has this comment: "The practice of going to univer- sities for political decisions is a relatively new one. It is unsatisfac- tory in many respects, and we wish politicians would again make deci- sions based on their own observa- tion of the facts occasionally. This is one way that politicians can im- prove their knowledge of what is happening around them at first hand." Fine Work sisted by interested and devoted volunteers. It is a boy guidance organization operating a program of 'fun with a purpose'." Each Boys' Club operates on an autonomous basis in its own com- munity and is concerned with giving boys the opportunity for recreation and companionship away from the physical and moral dangers of the streets, and for this purpose Boys' Club buildings are open and avail- able to every boy -- and, if desired, to girls where there are adequate facilities and supervision -- every week-day afternoon and evening. Youth is a pliable mass of energy out of which the adult citizen emerges. It is during this period that the multitude of intangible forces register in the development 'of character for good or for evil. This is the growing period in the lives of youth in which the Boys' Clubs are interested and towards which their programs are directed. Senator's Conclusions When Senator Grattan O'Leary . spoke at the Conservative nomina- tion meeting here recently, he at- tacked the U.S. newsmagazine Newsweek for its "scandalous" story on Prime Minister Diefen- baker. Most people agreed with him. When the story appeared spokesmen for all Canadian political parties and a large number of news- papers -- this one included -- sharply criticized the magazine for publishing a sorry piece of gutter writing. But Senator O'Leary went on to say that the magazine was owned by the Washington Post, whose owner is a personal friend of President Kennedy, and then re- marked, "I draw no conclusion my- self, I leave that to you." We made no comment at the time because political orators make many questionable statements dur- ing the heat and enthusiasm of She Oshawa Fines T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

They can be excused -- once. But when they repeat those statements, they are clearly following a deliberate course of action. Senator O'Leary has been repeating his remark about "draw- ing no conclusions," and it is time he got out from behind the in- nuendo. , If he can draw no conclusions from his observations about the ownership of Newsweek, why does he bother to comment about it? If he wants his listeners to believe that President Kennedy personally en- gineered the attack on Mr. Diefen- baker, why does he not say so, instead of simply suggesting it with a nasty little smirk? The Port Arthur News Chronicle makes this sharp observation about Senator O'Leary's harping on the Newsweek theme: _ "Apart from the fact that it sounds like the worst type of back- yard fence gossip ('you know, she lives in a house which is owned by a man who is a close friend of so- and-so') this sort of drivel was hardly worthy of a man who was noted for being one of Canada's most forthright editors until Prime Minister Diefenbaker made him a senator for writing nasty things about the Liberals year after year."

If the cause is right and we are convinced that it must be the Lord's will, it is always too soon to quit praying for it. fuent | DESTINATION OTTAWA THIRD MAN IN THE COCKPIT REPORT FROM U.K. New British Jet Stirs Excitement By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times BOURNEMOUTH, Hanis -- At the British Aircraft Corpora- tion's huge plant at Hurn, near Bournemouth, there is in pro- duction a sensaticnal new jet passenger plane which within the next two or threé years may be flying on Canadian domestic routes of the Trans-Canada Air- lines. This new plane is the BAC One-Eleven. It is designed to offer big jet standards of com- fort and service over routes as leng as 1,000 miles and as short as 100 miles, at cruising speeds up to 540 miles an hour, with economy comparable to the pro- peller-driven aircraft that are now in operation. In spite of the fact that the BAC One-Eleven has not yet flown, and that its first model is only now in production, it has achieved the remarkable record of having prought firm orders YOUR HEALTH from seven customers for 35 planes, with options on a further 11 likely to become firm orders. TCA INTERESTED By the British Aircraft Cor- poration, the One-Eleven is re- garded as the logical successor to the Viscount plane, of which some 438 have been built and sold, and which Trans-Canada Airlines pioneered on the North American continent. An official of the TCA was in the party with which I visited the factory at Hum. He indi- cated that Trans-Canada Air- lines executives were definitely considering ordering a fleet of the One-Eleven aircraft for its domestic routes. No decision has yet been made, however, as an- other plane, the Douglas 2086, is also being considered by the TCA. The One-Eleven, however, is ahead in that it is now in production, and the first air- craft will make its initial flights within two or three months, while the competing Douglas Causes Probed For Heartburn, Hiccups By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What causes heartburn and hiccups and what is the cure? I have both troubles--heart- burn after eating only one slice of bread. And for hiccups I've tried everything including some old - fashioned superstitions. -- H.C.D. Heartburn? Many causes. Spicy and irritating. foods; in- flammation of esophagus or gul- let; regurgitation of stomach contents back up into the gullet (hiccups could cause that to happen); any disorder of. the upper intestinal tract, including ulcer of stomach or duodenum; hiatal hernia, or gall stones. Also excessive alcohol, tobacco or coffee; or hyperacidity, which 's an excessive secretion of digestive juices. The cure? The first rule of health is to find out the cause before choosing a treatment. Medication, diet, cutting down on something you are getting too much of--all of these are good cures if applied to the right cause. In some few in- stances surgery may be re- quired, but thatgwill mean you are correcting more than just the heartburn. If the heartburn is persistent, consult your doctor. Exact diag- nosis is worth a lot of guess- work. Now for hiccups. Causes most frequently are overeating or eating too fast; irritation of the diaphragm; kidney or liver dis- ease; and habit My best suggestion is to takee this up with your doctor when you see him concerning the TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 7, 1963 .. . Alexander Graham Bell was granted the first basic patent on the telephone 87 years ago today--in 1876-- marked as a milestone in the history of communic- tions. On the same date in 1926, the first successful radio - telephone conversa- tion was conducted between New York and London, Eng- land. 1800 -- Hull, Que., was foDaded by Philemon Wright. heartburn. It is entirely possible that correcting one will correct the other, I have no pet remedy for hic- cups. There are as many s0- called hiccup cures as there: are "cold cures" and very few of them do any more good. Breath- ing into a paper bag, or holding your breath are probably as ef- fective as any. What about getting heartburn from only one slice of bread? Is that literally true? If so, it's rather unusual, because bread is bland and non-irritating. Too often a particular item of food is blamed for distress when some other factor is the real cause. However, if the bread really does cause it, you might be hypersensitive to wheat. plane is still very much at the drawing board stage. An official of the British Air- craft Corporation told me that his company will have the first 50 One-Elevens flying before production is started on the competing Douglas Aircraft. Customers who have placed orders for the One-Eleven are Mohawk Airlines of New York, Braniff International Airways of Dallas, Texas, British United Airways, Kuwait Airways, Cen- tral African Airways and one overseas customer who does not wish his identity disclosed has ordered 10 planes. Two other United States airlines are ready to place orders subject to ap- proval of the Civil Aeronautics Board. The One-Eleven is a twin-jet short haul airplane powered by two rear-mounted Rolls-Royce Spey engines, which are also being used in the DeHaviland Trident airliner. As an alterna- tive, and this might be of spe- cial interest to the TCA, the air- craft may be fitted with the Pratt, and Whitney JT8D-5 en- gine, a derated version of the power plant used by the new Boeing 727 airliner. The One-Eleven seats up to 79 passengers in big jet com- fort. It has been specially de- signed for short haul opera- tions and, in particular, for fre- quent take-offs and landing, and quick turn-around on the grour~ In the large assembly shop * the Hurn factory, I saw six of these planes at different stages of construction, with the first one, earmarked for delivery to the pt ee United Airways, at a very advanced stage. The present schedule calls for the completion of four planes a month, but if the orders con- tinue to pour in, this can be stepped up to 12 a month or more. Officials of the company told me that it would be prepared to produce the One-Eleven under licence in Canada if Canadian and United States orders justi- fied this. If it became expedi- tious or desirable, this could be arranged and the licensed plant in Canada would then be in line for work on all the BAC Air- craft types. Cost of the One-Eleven was basically about $2,600,000, with variations accordng to varia- tions in equipment demanded by customers. But the company will not clear its development costs and start to show a profit until it has sold at least 80 planes. Is officials are optimis- tic, They foresee a market for hundreds of them. BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Ernest Parsons was elected president of the Oshawa Motor Club to succeed J. Norval Will- son, who had occupied the posi- tion for three years. The Oshawa Rifle Club rep- tesented by N. F. Tonkin, N. Felt, Ed Burns, T. Palmer, E. Hart, P. Matthews and Gladwell stood first in Canada with a score of 496 out of a possible 500 points, in the win- ter shoot. World Day of Prayer was observed in Centre Street Unit- ed Church under the chairman- ship of Mrs. C. E, R. Me- Quade. Elected officers of the Osh- awa Chamber of Commerce for the year were T. B. Mitchell, president; W. M. Gilbert and A. G. Storie, 1st- and 2nd vice- presidents respectively and F. J. Reddin,: treasurer. Walter H. Jackson, organist and choirmaster of Holy Trin- ity Anglican Church, was hon- Ored by the choir and a pres- entation was made by Alfred Halewood on their behalf follow- ing his resignation as church organist. Miss May Dillon commenced her duties as organist of Holy Trinity Anglican Church. Gregory Clark, Toronto jour- nalist and sportsman who ad- dressed the Oshawa Anglers' Club meeting, made a plea for propagation 'of game fish in Ontario. F. R. Michael's rink defeated H. C. Lander's foursome in the finals played at the local Curl- {ng Club to capture the Mc- Adie Trophy.

BIRD OTTAWA (CP) -- Federal oceanographers are preparing for the day when they will plunge inté the icy waters of the Arctic seas in an expanded program of oceanographic re- search in the Canadian north. A group from the marine sci- ences branch of the federal tech- nical surveys department is practising skin-diving in ice- covered Kingsmere Lake, 10 miles north of Ottawa, to learn as much as possible of what to expect in even colder northern seas, Oceanographers will play an increasingly important role in research in Arctic seas. They will hunt the ocean specimens they are trained to study and analyse; observe at first hand the physical and biological fea- tures of the ocean floor and test the operation of underwater sci. entific instruments, including cameras. The training program at Kingsmere Lake involves regu. lar courses in the use of seif- contained underwater breathing apparatus--scuba equipment. Large holes must be cut in the thick ice to enable the skin- divers to enter the water. A Krishna Menon Retains Support Of Communists NEW DELHI (AP)---Private secretaries bustle in and out of the cluttered office-sitting room in the little house across the street from Prime Minister Nehru's residence. Frequently a secretary signals a call on the specially made telephone, inscribed "presented to Defence Minister V, K. Krishna Menon." The intensity with which the wiry man answers calls--scowl- ing and speaking curtly or smil- ing and turning on his charm-- is the same. But the atmos- phere has changed since Menon was forced out of Nehru's cabi- net. The sense of power and na- tional urgency is gone. The sense of political manoeuvring remains as he keeps busy mak- ing speeches. Since he became just another member of Parliament last No- vember, Menon has been cam- paigning around India like no ordinary politician and espe- cially like no other rank-and- file member of Nehru's Con- gress party. Menon never has been an ordinary member. In fact, al- though not technically, he leads his own political party--a collec- tion of leftist members of the Congress party and independent leftists with strong Communist support. Menon works closely with the people who also work with Com- munists. His cause is cham- pioned by publications, some with mysterious . finane- ing, which also back Commu- nist causes. It is an open question whether Menon really controls this ill- defined but clearly aimed group. Some observers have suggested in the past that the pro - Communists supported Menon only because he looked as if he had a chance of taking over the Indian government after Nehru. The fact that they have not deserted him since his dis- missal from the cabinet could mean they have nowhere else to go. More likely, it means that at the age of 65 Menon QUEEN'S PARK still is not t6 be counted out of the Indian political, picture. Menon was forced out of the cabinet by charges that he failed to prepare against the danger of Communist China. Some critics, feared Menon would continue to be an unoffi- cial adviser to Nehru, walking across the street for late night talks as he has done for years. This seems to have happened rarely. OTTAWA REPORT plank is placed across the hole and the divers (they always swim in pairs) are lowered into the water by a rope attached to the plank, a 2. Papo 38, ocean- ographer oceanogra- phic research division of the marine sciences branch, says extra precautions must be taken by scuba divers in cold water. Men must be trained carefully because the hazards involved are much greater than those ex. perienced by scuba divers in warm water. The water in Kingsmere Lake is slightly above the freezing mark. However, this may not be the case in the Arctic seas where a man lost overboard must be rescued within minutes to survive. This is because salt- water seas can remain liquid below the freezing point of fresh water, Mr. Sauer, head of the Cana. dian oceanographic data centre, éaid that despite this problem, scuba divers will be able to stay underwater in Arctic waters for useful periods and keep reason. ably warm in their rubber div- ing suits. He said a scuba-diving ocean- ographer also would be invalu- able in the event of emergencies while oceanographic research vessels are at sea. If a vessel was damaged and it was necessary to inspect. the hull, the oceanographer could do the job. It would not be nec- essary to fly in a scuba diver. A scuba-diving oceanograplhiér also would be able to free valu. able scientific equipment if it be- came lodged on the ocean floor. Better Percentage For Rural Voters By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA=Who were the five electors of Gaspereaux, in Kings County at the eastern end of Prince Edward Island, who alone in their community failed to use their vote in last June's election? This is the sort of curious question stirred up by browsing in the 1,008-page report on Can- ada's 25th federal general elec- tion, submitted by Nelson Cas- tonguay, the chief electoral offi- cer. This hefty report tabulates the number of registered elec- tors on the list for each of the 27,370 urban and 22,467. rural polling stations in Canada's 263 electoral districts. It lists the names--but not the political party affiliations--of every can- didate in each such district. And it totals the number of votes which went to each candidate, as well as the number of ballot papers which were rejected be- cause they were not correctly marked (there were 82,522 such "wasted" votes in all Canada), P.E.I. HAS FINE RECORD Thus we are able to see that, as usual, the electors of our is. land province achieved the best record for fulfilling their demo- Queries Approach To OPP Revisions By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--A year ago there was what seemed like a snap action on the government's part. The then attorney - general, Kelso Roberts, had been under fire for months. At the opening of the fall ses- sion the fire, with the Winter- meyer crime speech, became @ holocaust. One result was the appoint- ment of the Roach inquiry. Another apparent resu lt -- though it wasn't officially cred- ited as such, was the establish- ment of the Ontario Police Commission. At the, time there was criti- cism of the move. The commis- sion was given direct authority over the Ontario Provincial Po- lice, TIED TO POLITICS And the objectors said this was bad. It was putting civil- ians in control. More import- tant--it was tying the force too closely to politics and the poli- ticians. Now, in another relatively sudden move, it is bringing the tie--if it is a tie--even closer. Eric Silk, formerly assistant deputy attorney - general, has been named commissioner. He will have the rank of deputy minister, and be under the di- rect and active authority of the attorney-general. Direct political control over police breeds nasty thoughts. The extreme, of course is the police state of the totalitarian counries. Nobody suspects this will happen here. But there are lesser evils, which could. Inter- ference with the administration of justice, for one. On a petty level we have seen what can happen here in the many instances where local mayors, reeves and aldermen have tried to push their way around, Essentially close political con- trol is to be avoided, if possible. In this case it definitely ap- pears that the government hur- ried into. action a year ago, And now is committed to prin- ciples and policies it probably doesn't want--for in politics once committed you don't re- treat And so it continues along the road. There is no question that the OPP needs an overhaul. The once proud force has slipped. And there is no question about Mr. Silk. He has proven organ- izing ability, imagination and unquestioned integrity. He should do an excellent job (and the job will be a big one. The force is to be both greatly expanded and greatly changed in structure.) But still it is too bad another approach was not found for the rebuilding. Even as it is the force prob- ably has been weakened by. be- ing too close to polities Even as it is the force prob- ably has been weakened by be- ing too close to politics. The government of course, has always had final responsi- bility for the OPP. One weak man--say a man who takes authority beyond his experience or responsibility, or has to exercise judgments be- yond his capacity--can in turn infect such a force with his own weakness. cratic privilege of voting for their parliamentary representa- tives. 90 per cent of P.E.I. vot- ers actually voted. At the other end of the scale, only 72 per cent of Newfoundlanders voted. Second place of honor went to Saskat¢éhewaners, of whom an impressive 85 per cent, voted. How come, I wonder, that in the neighboring province of Alberta only 74 per cent voted, so that those two adjoin., ing prairie provinces chalked up the second best and the second worst turn-outs at the polls on that sunny June day? In our most electorally con. scious province, Kings had the best voting record--averaging 93 per cent of the entitled bal- loteers. The palm goes to the rural community of Monticello, where more than 95 per cent of the voters went to the poll. That may sound like a trans. Canada record, and so it seems to be until one examines what went on in the. Yukon--where men are evidently still men and the returning officers know it. Look at Canyon Creek, for ex- ample, where there were 23 reg- istered voters, yet in the best tradition of those TV weste the ballot box was stuffed with 29 votes. Do dead men vote at Canyon Creek? Or are there strangers who' can "'telegraph" votes? The same thing happened at Ross River and Jensen--more votes than registered voters. The explanation is simple and honest: Certain voters arrived at the polling station, found they had been omitted from the register, and were permitted to vote after the usual procedure of identification and oath, This obtains in all rural polls, but not in urban polls. LOW CITY VOTE The lowest attendance at the polls was surprisingly not at iso- lated rural spots, where the vot- ers often had to travel long dis- tances to vote. No, it was our city-dwellers who couldn't be bothered to walk or be driven the necessary few blocks. Toronto, Hamilton, Windsor and Niagara Falls all ran around 74 per cent turn-out; in contrast, Ontario's Renfrew County, encircling Pembroke in the Ottawa Valley, achieved the province's highest vote--89 to 90 per cent. In Quebec, Montreal had a low turn out, while tiny Made- leine Islands saw 91 per cent. So too, across the country, the cities had smaller turn - outs than the villages. Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver had no- tably low polls; Assiniboia, Kin. dersley, Okanagan - Revelstoke and Macleod had the highest polls in their provinces.
