She Oshawa Zimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Second Chapter Written In Ontario Crime Story Publication of Justice Roach's 'report on his investigation of crime in Ontario marks the end of only the second chapter of a continuing story. The first chapter was writ- ten by Liberal leader Wintermeyer, whose sensational charges led to the royal commission inquiry. The third chapter will tell of the results of the Roach report. The report confirms most of what Mr. Wintermeyer had to say, but it must be admitted that the existence of an organized gambling set-up in Ontario, with links to U.S. gambling, was scarcely a deep dark secret. The value of the report is that it sketched the limits of the set-up -- although it did not probe deeply into the criminal byproducts of gambling -- and confirmed or disproved suspicions about the ex- tent of the influence exerted by the gambling bosses. It did not reveal corruption in departments of government, but it -did indicate ineptitude and stupidity and, at least for a period, an in- credible tendency to disregard the advice of competent police officials on the issuing of charters to social clubs -- charters which in some cases were open licences to run gambling joints. The evidence showed that the police, on the whole, were hardworking and conscientious men, often frustrated in their efforts. The Law Society is reportedly checking the evidence taken by the royal commission in regard to the professional conduct of some of the lawyers involved. The Attorney- General is checking the same evi- dence to examine the possibility that some testimony was perjured. Premier Robarts says his govern- ments is studying the report with a view to legislation. These will be _ the new chapters. Thoughts About Prisons In the past, the welfare of the prisoners has been largely ignored in the location and construction of prisons. The Canadian Corrections Association, however, would make it the first consideration. Modern concepts of treatment and rehabili- tation and the effective develop- ment of the prison system should be the only factors in deciding the building and location of new prisons, the CCA said this week. The CCA argument goes like this: Prisons should be located near major urban centres which have appropriate clinical and other facili- ties; closeness to a university is an added advantage. But prisons should not be surrounded by a housing development. The urban environ- ment is favored for a variety of reasons -- easier to attract com- petent staff, easier visiting by re- latives, easier prerelease planning, more desirable community con- tracts, better research facilities, more community facilities for use by inmates, and so on. The CCA states that while the size of a prison depends on the correction program and the type of inmate, it is preferable to keep penal institutions as small as pos- sible to provide for more than 300 inmates, because the major treat- ment device in a prison is the- re- lationship between staff and prison- ers. Larger institutions risk be- coming production-line operations, As for the structure, no one design will serve all prisons because cor- rection programs vary widely. The CCA program would revolu- tionize the Canadian system of locating and building prisons. It would also be extremely costly, if there were no concurrent effort to reduce the size of the prison popula- tion -- an effort which, fortuna- tely, is now under way. Reporters And Sources After two British newspaper men were jailed for refusing to divulge confidential sources of information, a member of the Ontario Legisla- ture suggested that legislation be passed to protect newspaper men in this province from such action. At the time we express doubts * about the desirability of such legis- lation. The other side of the argu- * ment has been forcibly expressed by The Times of London, in the follow- ing editorial: However sound in law, the judg- ment that two journalists must be imprisoned because they refused to disclose their sources of informa- tion is against the public interest. No doubt there will be many. people, some in positions of authority, who ought to know better, who will be rejoicing today because "the press has been put in its place." Others will say it is outrageous that the journalist should claim an immunity that is withheld from the doctor and the priest. Yet others will pay lip-service to the principle of the <inviolability of sources and add that it was not worth fighting for in this case. All such attitudes are wrong: She Oshawa Times T. L.

The people are being placed more and more at the mercy of authority and of the Executive. The techniques of power, of political manipulation, of the predatoriness of officialdom, become ever more insidiously effi- cient. Against these, the community and the individual have all too few safeguards. Parliament is not a sure one. The Law is even less so. In spite of all the boasting of the politicians that they no longer need to worry as they once did about the newspapers, the most effective is still a vigilant press. No one is going to. claim the press is perfect. It has many shortcomings. It can be irresponsible and trivial. None the less, it does inform. The basis of political freedom and the essence of democracy is the public's right to know. That right is more con- stantly being eroded by authority than any other. Newspapers cannot inform their readers unless they are themselves informed. Much of what they get depends absolutely on its source being kept secret. This applies not only to the dark, sordid, hole-and- corner world of crime and society gossip. It is even more true of mat- ters of vital' public interest, of great affairs domestic and interna- tional. Many a public service has been done because a newspaper was warned in time. The warning would hot have been ventured if there had been any shadow of doubt that even a High Court would fail to force the journalist to disclose where he had got his information. Bible Thought Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith. ~ Hebrews 10:22. : A worshipper is always near to God when he presents himself in sincere commitment, REPORT FROM U.K. ~ Still Tally Costs Of The Big Freeze By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- What a glorious relief it was to listen to the first weather broadcast on the radio for over two months without hearing as the first words: "First, a frost and snow warn- ing, with many roads blocked and covered with ice." It was like living in a different world to have a complete 24 hours with the temperature above freezing point. At last, the long freeze-up seems to have run its course, YOUR HEALTH but with its departure has come the day of reckoning, of trying to assess the cost of the country of this abnormal win- ter. The farmers have been about the worst-hit of all the various segments of the British popula- tion. At a conservative esti- mate, the great freeze-up will cost them anything between $30 million and $45 million. And that loss will doubtless be reflected in the extra cost to the house- wives of the nation of farm pro- duce and vegetables over the next few months. A spokesman for the Nation- Nature Provides Wise Regulation Sy Joseph G. Molner, MD --Dear Dr, Molner: I have an underdeveloped uterus. What does this mean? Is there any chance of my ever having children? I love them.--Mrs. D. The term means that the organ is smaller than 1verage for an adult woman. 'Infantile uterus" is also sometimes used as an apt description. There's a great deal we don't know about why some people develop differently, but this particular condition has been found in certain constitutional types: for instance, women with small breasts and thin muscula- ture. As to your chances of becom- ing pregnant, I am througii with predictions. If your menstrual pattern. is reasonably normal and ovulation occurs, presnancy is quite possible. On the other hand, if there is some glandular deficiency, fertility may be. impaired. Na- ture has regulated things pretty well. Some women are meant to have children--and they do. And a mere mortal doctor can't always outguess wise old Mother Nature. Of course, in cases in which ovaries or tubes have been re- moved or are not in healthy condition, a woman cannot be- come pregnant. It is physically impossible. Many a woman with an undersized uterus has been told that she "couldn't have chil- dren," but when a_ healthy bundle of joy arrives, the doc- tor's face has turned red. If the necessary physiological structures are present, and the woman's system is functioning properly, chances of pregnancy are good. And I sincerely wish you the best of good fortune. --Dear .Dr. .Molner: X-rays showed I had an ulcer in the pyloric canal. After going on a strict diet I had more x-rays two months later, showing the ulcer had healed. Is it possible for an ulcer to heal thai soon? And why does the pain still remain? My doctor says scars can cause as much pain as an -- Would you explain?--Mrs. Yes, an ulcer can heal that soon, but the puckering of the scar can, in some cases, put strain on tender areas. There may be an element of spasm of the pylorus which can cause : pain. : --Dear Dr. Molner: Recently a friend of mine began drinking and has continued for over two months. I doubt that he will live long enough to get cirrhosis of the liver. What elcohol content can the body tolerate at one time? He drinks beer every day until 5 o'clock, and then drinks two fifths of liquor in highball form before midnight. Your answer may help me convey to him the danger of drinking at this rate.--R.J.B. He must have worked up to this enormous amount of alco- hol over a period of time--per- haps unknown to you. If you can get him to see his problem you'll be doing him a favor indeed, because he is in grave danger. The amount of alcohol the body can tolerate varies some- what with the individual and his size, but it is generally be- lieved that the body can dispose of about an ounce an hour--not that it is safe or sensible to attempt that maximum. But quite aside from the toxic effects of alcohol, most problem drinkers don't eat well or reg- ularly, and the lack of suitable food not only increases the risk of cirrhosis but aggravates the poisonous effect of alcohol on brain, nervous system, stomach and body in general. I hope you can help your friend. al Farmers' Union figures that the effects of this winter will last for a long time. He said: "Obviously no accurate fig- ure can be arrived at just yet, but it is certain that the whole nation will be feeling the affects of this winter on their food right up to next Christmas." The reasons for this are not far to seek, and here are some of them. Thousands of acres of vege- tables have been written off as @ complete loss, as being unfit for human consumption. In the Vale of Evesham wholesale vegetable markets which nor- mally do business all day have not a single vegetable to offer for sale. Thousands of tons of table and seed potatoes have been ruined by frost: In the Western counties, where at this time last year the fields were full of people planting early potatoes, there is still deep snow and no sign of life. Ten per cent of all the Cornish seed potatoes have been lost. In Essex and Cambridge- shire, both big grain growing areas, the frost has penetrated to a depth of two feet. At this time last year, more than half of the spring barley had been planted. This year the farmers say it will be "cuckoo barley', meaning that the ground will not be ready for a start of seed- ing until the song.of the cuckoo is heard in April. Sugar beets in the ground have suffered serious losses. It is estimated that some 350,000 tons of them will have to be ploughed under. HARD ON LIVESTOCK Because of losses to livestock, housewives will have to pay higher prices for meat. Spring lambing on high land in Wales and the North looks like being a pitiful business. The ewes have suffered so much from being out for long periods in arc- tic conditions that they are not strong enough, and many casual- ties are expected. The worst outlook is for grass land, vital for feeding dairy herds, Pastures and grazing land in many areas is still under snow and ice, and with field drains, some three feet underground, frozen solid, there is the added hazard of flooded fields now that the thaw has come. And with grass growth retarded, farmers will be forced to feed expensive concen- trates to livestock when the animals should be foraging in the fields. On the whole, it is a gloomy outlook for agriculture, and it will be some time before there is a complete recovery from a effects of this terrible win- er. BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO George Hart, chairman of the Public Welfare Board, an- nounced plans for having 500 garden plots for unemployed citizens. Lioyd Whitney, Miss Edith McTavish, Miss Velma Harris and Leslie Crumback assisted with a Young People's service held at King Street United Church, Oshawa Badminton Club won the annual doubles tournament held in Peterborough. Richard Jarvis, chief of police of Bowmanville for 38 years, died at the age of 78. Rev. Father Bench of St. Gregory's Church, was honor. ed on the occasion of his 30th anniversary of ordination, at a banquet held by the Women's League, Parks Board agreed to put the baseball diamond in good condition at Alexandra Park and install temporary dressing rooms for the Oshawa Baseball Club, A Ukrainian musical festival, in honor of the national' poet Shevchenko, was held in the Regent Theatre. Rotary Hall was filled to overflowing when the Women's Association of St. Andrew's United Church presented a play "The Girls of the Old Brigade for the Canadian Legion. Lionel C. Wood, Simcoe street north, was winner of the 1933 Chevrolet Coach given away by © the Oshawa Kiwanis Clyb at the St. Patrick's Dance held in the Armories. Sugar prices advanced two cents to seven and one-half cents a pound in the city. George F. Shreve, general manager -of the Public Utilities building, was given instructions by the Commission to install an electrical showroom. Mrs. Clayton Downey of Osh- awa was appointed secretary to the local Mothers' Allowance Board and the Old Age Pension Board. r OTTAWA REPORT Bill For Election -- Tops $12 Million By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--"The election will cost $12,000,000--and it's not fair to the country to put us to that expense again so soon," pro- tested an Ottawa voter. Many other Canadians have voiced the same sentiment. : What a lot they don't know! That sum would not even pay the bill of the chief electoral officer for providing the mach- inery for the nation-wide vote: enumerating the voters, print- ing the ballot papers, setting up the polls, handling the voting and counting the score. For our 10,000,000 voters, that will cost @bout $1.28 each. Then there is the huge ex-. Pense incurred by each party, on the national and constituency levels, and by every candidate. The true total of this spending is never known, because parties don't have to report their spend- ing, and no candidate possibly could obey the Canada Elec- tions Act by accurately tallying his total election costs 'in money or its value received." For example, two candidates in last June's election each reported that they spent no money at all; yet each for- feited his deposit of $200, so QUEEN'S PARK must have spent that at least. The Liberal winner in Montreal- potted the Bighes. expenditure por! est of $29,686, But several success- ful candidates in urban ridings are known to have spent more than $50,000 to win for Je months the job worth $10, a year. GRITS TOP SPENDERS "The Liberal party spent between six and 10 million dol- lars in the 1957 election," estimates Professor John Mei- sel, in his valuable survey of that election. The Conservative yyy he prices at between $3,000,000 and $3,500,000, In 1962, the Liberal campaign appeared to have more to spend than in 1957. But this. year the cam- paign chests of three parties are poorly filled; only the Lib- erals have abundant funds, The Conservatives still owe over $250,000 in Quebec from the 1962 election; many MPs still count ° debts 'from that election, as does the NDP. The Socreds only had a shoestring, and that's all they spent. So it is a fair guess that this election will be a poor man's campaign, except on the part of the Liberals. Second Thoughts About Water Grid By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--There has been a change of policy on water sup- Ply, For some time now it has been taken for granted there would .be a huge water grid across southern Ontario. It would take water from the Great Lakes and feed it to the inland cities and farms. John Root, a member of the water resources commission, has told the house that this may not now be necessary. Studies of precipitation, and ground and table water re- sources, have been quite re- vealing, he said. They have shown there is a huge potential supply. If prop- erly managed through dams and reservoirs it might fill most of the demand, The commission, Mr. Root says, can still see the place for main lines into urban communi- ties such as London-which has a line from Lake Huron under consideration now, H WANTS RESEARCH But it would want to see a lot more research and study before it gave approval to a grandoise grid. The ground and table water, being naturally filtered, is more desirable, of course. And also it would mean a less expensive supply. Mr. Root, a conservative farmer, but one who keeps his eyes open and isn't blinded by a flash thought, is one of the able men on the government side. _ He has had his ups and downs in the government-he doesn't enjoy the favor with Premier Robarts that he did with Pre- mier Frost-but his down to earth approach and good mind have won his wide respect. GOGAMA DOCTOR A few years ago in this space I mentioned the medical prob- lem of Gogama. It didn't have a doctor or a nurse, not even a drug store. Following this, spokesmen for the government said they were trying to come up with some solution to the community's Problem. But they didn't find any, And so Gogama had an epidemic of influenze. And its problem got wide publicity, But will anything still be done for it and other similar com- munities of some size which have no medical service? One can't be too helpful, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 21, 1963...

The third son of Queen Victoria was a noted soldier and was created a field marshal in 1902, He first visited Canada with the British Army and served in the Red River expedi- tion in 1870.

The logical approach would be for the government to sib- sidize some young doctor to set up practice in the area. In the case of Gogama; at least,t his could be easily justified as there is a large lands and for- ests base there. But the government hasn't shown any inclination to do this. The Ontario Medical Associa- tion is strongly against any such approach-it might be con- structed as a form of "state. medicine." ' And though it has been study- ing the problem, it also hasn't come up with any answer. In view of the amount of pub- lic money (including that of the people of Gogama) spent to ed- ucate doctors one would think there should be some way of getting a medical man into it and other communities in the same position. % 2 L » often from $50 to $200, and they memberships in the party.

PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM A woman suffers doubly who suffers in silence. "Love is not a_ stimulating emotion," says Dr. Morris Fish- bein, retired president of the American Medical Association. As Dr. Fishbein is 73, it is only natural that his memory isn't what it used to be. "Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday." -- Adage. Yes -- and weren't we psychic, though? Many of those on reducing diets are fairly good at esti- mating calories, but when it comes to adding them up, they make many errors that show up later on the scales. * lf a person could see him- self as others see him, he would doubtless think he was suffer- ing from hallucinations. will be READERS' VIEWS SURVIVAL STORY Dear Sir: This is a copy taken from The News of the World after a news- paper reporter interviewed Mr. W. Brooks, my brother, who was on board HMS Torent when the naval engagement occurred. "I met a man Jast week who considers himself very lucky to be alive, and with good reason, as he was blown up three times in one night. His ship was struck by a mine or torpedo. It was dark, and as he was helping to put a raft over the side his ship was struck a second time. The magazine exploded, and as he was standing just above it he was blown into the air. When he landed in the water, by a lucky chance the raft was be- side him. He crawled onto it and looked back to see his ship blazing in the darkness. Of the 75 men aboard he was the only survivor, Eventually a ship came up to the raft to take him off but just as it drew near it was hit by a torpedo and sunk. Later a whaler tried to rescue him but it also was struck by a tonpedo. Finally in the early hours of the morning Mr. Brooks was picked up by the destroyer HMS Radiant, half frozen and badly shocked. For a period of time he had a loss of memory and had to carry a certificate to show who he was. He now enjoys good health and his hob- bies are raising game poultry, flowers and vegetables. Before his retirement he was a sales- man for a large farmers' ma- chinery company at Colchester and he says he has a lot to be thankful for." There were four brothers served in the First World War and I served in the Boer War, also in the 49th Bn. CEF. One brother Reginald was leading stoker on the Queen Mary which was struck by a Zeppelin bomb during the Jutland battle. Broth- er Amos was killed on the Somme, September, 1916. I cele-- brated my 84th birthday on St. Patrick's Day last Sunday. E, BROOKS Oshawa QUESTIONS Dear Sir: The Young People's Club of St. Gregory's, along with the Oshawa Jaycees are to be com- plimented for their arrangement of the coming March 26 "Politi- cal Youth Forum'. The only rather disappointing feature of this commendable feat of ar- ranging the appearance of all three Federal candidates (this, Pm told, has been virtually im- possible in the past) is the stipu- lation I've been given to under- stand, imposed by one or more of these candidates that this be a closed meeting "by invitation only". This prohibits many of us from perhaps receiving some answers to some very puzzling and disturbing questions. For example, I'd be very pleased if someone asks, and more important, if Mr, Starr would answer "how, when the Diefenbaker government in gen- eral, and him in , are claiming the creation of many new jobs -- 700,000 I read in one speech -- and are insisting that unemployment is not a serious problem, do they explain the rather stunning ae that quite possibly by mid-sum- mer the $925 million Unemploy- ment Insurance Fund, inherited just five years ago, will be bankrupt of funds? Where, Mr. Starr, if unemployment was not serious, did all this money go" Another puzzling point I hope is cleared up by Mr. Cafik re- gards his and the Liberal Party's stand on nuclear arms., As I understand it, we must have them because of our "'obli- gations" and 'commitment'. What rather bewilders me is: I read that most of the leading American generals, as well as leading scientists oe the proposed weapons absolutely nothing to the "'deter- rent', and are in fact obsolete and futile. Even President Ken- nedy admitted recently that "there is not as yet any defence against a nuclear inter-continen- tal attack". Would not this, Mr. Cafik, be throwing good and much needed money down the drain These same military per- sonnel claim that Canada could play a much more important role in the contribution of con- ventional weapons and forces for overseas, for our NATO al- liance and United Nations police force. Another prominent plea lately by both the Conservative and Liberal candidates, that really confuses me, is for a "stable" or majority government, It seems to me, that history bears out the fact that our best and most productive governments have proved minority ones. Take - Mackenzie King, for example, who due to his precarious min- ority position, came with some much needed reform and improvements such as the old age pensions. It has been proved that large majorities breed arrogance and staleness. Yes, Mr. Starr, is your meme ory so short that you've forgot- ten how, in the post-war years of C. D, Howe and company, and you, Mr. Cafik, in the Diefenbaker sweep of 1958, each as opposition, cried loud and clear, and I quote, "the oppress- ive majority of the government is trampling and destroying the rights of Parliament", Why now the sudden reverse As for Miss Hall, I'd like very much to hear her answérs to these two most frequently voiced opinions: "There is no point in voting for the New Democratic Party, it's just a wasted vote, they don't have a chance of forming thé govern- ment", "The NDP is strictly a class party, representing and dominated by labor unions'. What say you, Miss Hall? YOUTHFUL VOTER Oshawa
