The Osharwa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Heckling Has Its Place But Ruffianism Doesnt - The hoodlums who tried to stop Liberal leader Lester Pearson from fpeaking in Hamilton the other night have been referred to in some fews reports as hecklers. There were not anything of the sort; they were ruffians intent only on break- ing up a political meeting, and therefore guilty of a criminal act. In last year's election campaign, Prime Minister Diefenbaker was the target of goon squad abuse in British Columbia and Northern On- tario -- abuse that was, if anything, even more violent than that faced by Mr. Pearson in Hamilton. This "sort of thing is not heckling, but ' ruffianism. There is a place for heckling in 'an election campaign. The well- ' placed question, the shouted com- ment add to the excitement of a meeting, test the candidate's ability to think on his feet; indeed, many a 'veteran politician hopes that his audience will include at least one heckler, because it gives him a chance to sharpen his repartee, and because it' helps to ensure an active interest and a lively meeting. It was a heckler who gave Lloyd George his opportunity to make the reply that has become a classic example of political repartee. A woman shouted at him, "If you were my husband, I'd give you poison." He replied without hesitation, "Madame, if I were your husband, I'd take it." The moronic noise-making of the organized groups that tried to upset Mr. Diefenbaker last year and Mr. Pearson this year is the very up- posite of heckling, however. It is not a contest of wits, but a display of witlessness. And it is a criminal act, because it is designed to prevent a political speaker from expressing his views and his audience from listening to those views. It is, in brief, an intolerable denial of free- dom of speech. Another Boxing Death The death of boxer Davey Moore this week, as the result of injuries suffered in a championship fight at Los Angeles has renewed de- ' mands that professional boxing be outlawed. The Pope has gone on ! record with the opinion that it is a brutal and immoral sport, not to be considered on the same level as other body-contact sports because it is the only one in which the sole ' purpose is the injuring of an op- ponent. The Governor of California says he intends to introduce a bill to prohibit professional boxing in the state. These outcries are heard every time a boxer is killed in the ring -- "and more than 260 fighters have died of ring injuries since 1945. Perhaps this time something effec- tive will be done to control or ban the premeditated mayhem? Certainly the outlawing of this blood sport is long overdue. Cock- fighting is not legal; there would be horrified protests if anyone tried to stage bullfights in this country or in the United States. But we not only permit two men to climb into a ring and try to pound each other into insensibility, we en- courage them by paying them money to do it and making heroes of them when they succeed in knocking op- ponents senseless. We watched a fight promoter the other night try to defend profes- sional fighting by emphasizing the "safety" measures introduced over the years to lessen the danger of injury to the boxers. He made a great point of what he claimed was the softening of blows by the pad- ding in gloves. The fact is that the padded gloves are we , and wit} them a fighter can inflict more serious head in} uries than with bare knuckles. It is doubtful if much will be done about professional boxing, however. There are too many will- ing victims, and there are too many so-called boxing fans who want to watch the violent proceedings -- and they are interested not in con- tests of skill but in the blood- letting, the knockout, The Puzzling Canadians Another American magazine has taken a disparaging look at Canada, providing our more impetuous native sons with another opportu- nity to claim that there is a deep dark journalistic plot to influence our election afoot in the United States. The most recent article, however, is not an exercise in character as- sassination. It is, we believe, an honest attempt by an experienced journalist to probe the puzzle that is Canada, And we might as well admit it: Canadians have been a puzzle even to themselves for as long as there has been a Canada. There is undoubtedly some truth in the charge that we generally harbor a sort of vague resentment of the United States. It is perhaps the subconscious resentment of a poor relation for a very rich, highly successful and rather noisy uncle. In a very few cases, it may amount to acute dislike -- but these people The Osharon Times T. L.

But for most Canadians, it is a resentment that does not inter- fere with friendly relations when we visit the United States or the Americans visit us. It is true, too, that we have a national inferiority complex. We have been persuaded of this by countless probing of the Canadian psyche by visiting and native literary types. Indeed, if we listened only to one group of our intelli- gentsia, we could be persuaded that Canadians spend most of their leisure hours gazing at their navels and pondering the deficiencies of the Canadian soul. But somehow or other, this does not stop from them getting quite a remarkable amount of work done. ; So what else is new? Other Editors' Views PORTABLE PENSIONS (London Free Press) It makes for more mobility in labor and for greater opportunities for older workers. It also provides for establishment of pension funds for all firms with 14 or more em- ployees if they have no present arrangement providing benefits up to the minimum standard set by the province. Sufficient flexibility and number of choices are built into the plan to make it serve a variety of dif- ferent needs both on the part of industry and employees. The- On- tario government does not contri- bute to the scheme but is establish- ing a commission to supervise opera- tion of the schemes. and make sure that due safeguards are provided. FISHING THROUGH THE ICE REPORT FROM U.K. Youngsters Want More Snow Sport By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- One would have imagined that after about 10 weeks of continuous winter weather, with more snow than the country had seen in any season for over a century, Eng- YOUR HEALTH lish one. people would have had enough of it to last them for a long time, but that, apparent- ly is not the case with one group of more than 3,000 boys and girls -- many of them Lon- doners -- who will, during their Easter holidays, be travelling more than 700 miles, in search of more snow and winter so Of course, the snow they will Tests Don't Give View Of Future By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr, Molner: There was a recent article in the news about a man who had a physi- cal examination, including a cardiogram, which was said to be perfect; yet a few . hours later he died of a heart at- tack. People would have a great deal more confidence and trust in the medical profession if they knew the reason for such blunders, or errors, or lack of knowledge. Perhaps you could clarify this. UNSIGNED Please, readers, do me the courtesy of stgning your let- ters, since I never print names (I even use disguised initials if requested.) But I think this letter needs answering, regardless, I've seen such a result from time to time. It's a shock. It is always hard to believe. It isn't frequent. but it does happen, and it is so dramatically tragic that it gets talked about a great deal. But it isn't a blunder. It isn't an error, It is lack of knowledge only in the sense that we can- not foretell the future. An electro-cardiogram (EKG) is a test which, among other things, discloses whether the heart muscle is getting a rea- sonably adequate supply of blood. If circulation is defi- cient, the EKG will show an abnormal pattern, If circula- tion is adequate, the pattern will be normal It is true that as we grow older, the walls of our arteries thicken and stiffen--more so in some people: than others. Yet the arteries still do a pretty good job for us, even if we aren't youngsters any longer. But suppose that the blood supply is shut off? Then you have a heart attack, This may HISTORY TODAY IN By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 28, 1963 .. . Spanish" loyalists curren- dered the capital of Madrid 24 «years ago--in 1939--in the final token of collapse before the Nationalist forces led by Gen. Franco. The Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936 between the republi- can government forces and revolutionary forces under Franco but the strife gained international flavor with German and Italian voiun- teers joining Franco, and Russian, communist and anti-fascist volunteers fight- ing for the government. 1944 -- Canadian humorist Stephen Leacock died 1799 -- The Austrians de- feated the French at the Battle of Verona. or may not be fatal, The ma- jority are not. What causes such a shutting off of circulation? The likeliest cause is the formation of a blood clot which becomes lodged somewhere in the cor- onary .artery or one of its branches. Some unusual stress, mental or physical, may aiso perhaps cause a spasm or nar- rowing which may lead to clog- ging. This we cannot predict. There are too many variables. Such an accident, from whatever combination of events, can (and does) sometimes occur immedi- ately after a test has shown adequate blood supply. There is no error, no blunder, But we don't have a crystal ball. It would be helpful if we could tell in some way ex- actly what is occurring in the arteries of the heart (and in the brain, for the purpose of foreseeing and preventing strokes)- Difficult experiments are in progress today, seeking to do this. In. some cases a cardiogram will, indeed, indicate an im- pairment in circulation, and we then have a warning, a clue. We can start treatment to prevent an attack or render it less likely. But I surely doubt that we will ever be able to foretell everything that could occur to- morrow, or next week. find at the end of their long journey will be quite different from the dirty, mushy, rather depressing-looking kind which covered the streets of London and the highways and byways for a couple of months, These 3,000 boys and girls are young people who will make up about 100 school parties which will be heading for Switzerland and Austria during the Easter holt days, . VOGUE GROWING The vogue of Easter time travel on the continent of Europe by organized school parties is increasing year by year, It may be that the amount of snow in Britain this year cre- ated a new cult for winter sports and an appetite for them. That seems likely, because the organizers of these tours have found that the demand for places in parties going to the snow-clad ski-ing slopes in Swit- zerland and Austria is far great- er than for any other part of Europe, with these areas eclips- ing Paris in popularity. Barry Willis, a school Travel Service official, referred to this growing vogue for Easter time holidays in the Alps and the Tyrolean hills. He says that these places are still attracting just as many school parties in mid-winter, but that most fam- ilies like to be together at Christmas, and that does not leave much time before the Spring term begins. HEADING THE RUSH "Besides," said Mr, Willis, "pressure on accommodation is véry heavy at that time of the year, and many young people prefer to go abroad when they think the resorts will be less crowded." Heading the 'snow rush" will be a party of boys and girls from Abingdon, Berkshire, due to leave on March 29. Hot on their heels will be pupils from schools at Bushey, Herts and Dagenham, Essex, Parties from Leighton Buzzard, Camberwell, Southgate, Ruislip and Lyton will follow later. Last to leave, on April 21, will be a party of boys and girls from Woodford, Essex. In addition, however, to the 100 parties seeking the Alpina ski trails, 74 parties will be go- ing to Paris, 35 of them at the same time. Most of the other Europe-bound school children will be going to Spain and Italy. For some parties, however, a steamer has been chartered, so that they can make a 190-mile Rhine voyage from Cologne to Rudesheim, West Germany and back, OTTAWA REPORT Personal Attacks Spoiling Campaign By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--In poliitcal circles here; it is being argued that the immense verbiage dedicated to personal attack and even to smear is the most notable fea- ture of the 1963 election cam- paign. Some of this comes very close to being criminal libel, in bon opinion of some noted jur- sts, No one party has a monopoly of either launching or receiving these verbal onslaughts, Pres- umably there is a widespread belief that votes can be cap- tured by them, and that is why we hear so much of personali- ties and so little of policies from election platforms, TWIST WORDS TO SMEAR To look at just one example, the amount of verbal ammuni- tion being expended against Caouette suggests that his pol- itical foes are so frightened of his electoral allure that they seek to destroy him at any cost, The usual attack is to brand him as a. Fascist, twisting his words to assert that his "pol- itical heroes'? are Hitler and Mussolini. Then an atmosphere of swastikas, the jackboot, the suppression of democracy, and 80 on, i8 built up, This "big iie" stems from the Misquotaticn of a conversation between Caouette and a journal- ist who hitched a ride from him during the 1962 election. "Who are your political heroes in history?" the writer asked, according to the report later published. "Mussolini and Hitler,"' re- plied Caouette. "That will go down well; you will be accused of being a Fas- cist." +e "That's not true,"' reported Caouette. 'Fascism, like social- ism and communism, is a dic- tatorship, Social Credit on the contrary glorifies the liberty of the individual. I admire the leadership qualities of Musso- lini, but I deplore that he was a Fascist, I admire Hitler's economic reforms, and the way he lifted his people out of pov- erty. But I think it was a pity that he later used his ideas for war rather than for peace." IN CANTRAST i In later amplification, Caou- ette explained that, in the "dirty thirties", we in Canada were burying cattle and burn- ing grain a few miles away from cities where people went hungry. In contrast Mussolini and Hitler were busy restoring prosperity to their, countries ruined by the First World War. Hitler, in very few years, cre- ated an economic miracle. And this led David Lloyd George, the 'Welsh Wizard" who was s triumphant wartime Prime Minister in the first war, to cry in 1937, "I only wish we had a man of his su e@ qual- ity at the head of affairs in our country today." eage Tt would not be relevant to de- bate Caouette's politics, I merely use him as an example of the now alas id smear, Tommy 8, Mike Pearson, John Diefen rt and some of their si rs have likewise been atta this way, } viyee a _wenton disregard of the truth. In this we have a lot to learn. Many elections have passed in Britain since Mr, Lloyd George made that re- mark in 1937, but no politician there has ever accused the British Liberal party of being Fascist because of its former leader praised Hitler above any British politican of those pre- war years.

READERS' VIEWS STARTING WAGES Dear Sir: In reply to the 'educator' who was so bitter about teach- ers' salaries in comparison with wages at GM. He should consider annual in- come and not daily or hourly rates, A young man starting in a factory may earn more per working day than a starting teacher, but he also may be out of work for weeks and months, while the teacher is paid for the year even though that year con- tains many school holidays, Also the teacher has great security, and can look forward to steadily increasing salary, particularly if he or she goes to the trouble of improving his or her aca- demic qualifications -- and let's face it, teachers in the low salary class do not have very good academic qualifications. If you talk to factory execu- tives and union leaders, they will tell you that they try to dis- courage youngsters from leaving school to take what may appear to be high-paying jobs on the production line, because lack of education sticks the youngster in a poor classification for ever.
