» 4 She Osharon Fimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontgrio T. L, Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Exports Of Power Seen Key To Job Expansion A powerful new argument for export of Canadian electic power has been presented by J. Herbert Smith, president of Canadian Gen- eral Electric. He told the company's anuual meeting this week: "It is our estimate that if major Canadian power sites on the Peace, Columbia and Nelson rivers and the Hamilton-Ungava watershed were developed with a view to exporting power, about 700,000 man-years of employment would be provided in Canadian construction and manu- facturing industries. This direct work would provide a matching 700,000 man-years of employment in the service industries such as retailing, the professions, etc. Thus, if spread over a 10-year period, development of these power sites could mean 140,000 new jobs for Canadians." In addition, he argued, these developments would permit lower- cost electric power to the Canadian consumer in the areas affected, and would improve the reliability and stability of Canadian electric util- ities through having inter-connec- tions with power systems in the United States. The overriding objection to the export of electric: power has been the extreme difficulty of halting deliveries once they have been under way for a while. Whole communities may literally depend for their econ- omic existence on the imported power. Mr. Smith thinks, however, that past objections would be met if export contracts were made be- tween utility systems, rather than between an exporting utility and an industrial user. The contracts should clearly spell out the terms and conditions under which the amount of power available for ex- port could be reduced and finally eliminated. It may very well be that the time has come for a readjustment of our traditional attitude towards power exports. Easter Is An Experience BY REV. N. F. SWACKHAMMER First Baptist Church On 'Low Sunday' (the Sunday after Easter) a Minister selected some Resurrection hymns for the service. The organist came into the vestry looking puzzled. "Last Sun- day was Easter," he said. For how many Christians was he speaking? For too many of us the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is "a proof" of some- thing. It is something to be inves- tigated by the Society for Psychical Research, so that in the end the Resurrection is nothing but a prob- lem. This is not so in the New Testa- ment. The Resurrection is not in- sulated, it is not a detached: ap- pendix to the Gospel story but it ig the climax of the whole. The life of the Christian and the community of believers flows from the Resur- rection, It is embedded in a this- wordly chain of events so that Easter day was not, for the first Christians, a special Sunday to be annually commemorated. For them every Sunday was Easter-day, the "Lord's Day". They lived here and now in the power of the Resurrec- Its Not Our For the second time this year, Toronto school trustees have been accused of taking a casual approach to expense accounts. Early in the year some trustees admitted receiv- ing expense cheques for mileage to and from meetings, even though they had used the board's "free" : limousines. Now some of the trus- tees are accused of receiving ex- pense cheques up to $50 for attend- ing a convention right in Toronto. What Toronto trustees do with the money provided them is, of course, the business of Toronto's taxpayers. But one of them made a revealing remark: "I tkink it is fantastic that this business of ex- pense money keeps coming up. It's nobody's business but ours." That type of comment, unfortu- nately, is heard all too often in various parts of the province when & municipal council or a newspaper She Oshawa Sines T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

They took seriously the Words of Christ, "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world', and they lived in that faith. Can we feel it that way? How can we see the Resurrection as the victory of Christ in this world? In Oscar Cullman's book, "Christ and Time", he wrestles creatively with this problem. ."The decisive battle in a war", he writes, "may already have occurred in a relatively early stage of the war and yet the war still continues." The illustration that springs to the mind is D-day. The decisive battle of the last war was the establishment of the bridge- head on the Normandy beaches. After that, victory was certain. But victory had still to be fought for and won. This, says Cullman, is the Christian vision of history. This is what gives reality both to our faith and to the historic order in which we live. We are living between D-day and V-day. From now on it is certain that the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ and in that Victorious faith we live. Business? or a taxpayer questions some item of school board expense -- "it's not your business", as if the matter of education were a special preserve from which the unanointed mass must be excluded. This is not to say that all or even most school trustees take this arrogant viewpoint. On the contrary, most trustees are, we believe de- dicated to the job of providing as efficient and open an administra- tion as possible -- a job that con- sumes time and energy and more often than not pays nothing but a little appreciation and a lot of criti- cism. But their efforts are fre- quently confounded by the few who, lacking the intelligence to handle the job, try to bluster their way through meetings and interviews. The good lady in Toronto who said "It's nobody's business but ours" did not show the good judgment that we should, indeed must, expect of a school trustee in this critical time for education. We are at the beginning of a school revolution, a vast change which we may fight for a while but must recognize in the end. The greatest educators hesitate to predict how far and how fast the change may go; they only agree that it will be a revolution. It is a time for wisdom, not arrogance.

Joseph Thor- arinn Thorson, the 74-year-old president of the Exchequer Court, was recently held up by bandits while holidaying in tur- bulent South America. He was foolish enough to resist the highway robbers, and for his courage received a wound ser- ious enough to prevent him from plunging into our recent election as a candidate. This may sound odd, but Judge Thorson was a minister in Mr. Mackenzie King's cabi- net more than 20 years ago; and with compulsory resigna- tion from the bench approach- ing with his 75th birthday, he fancied a slightly premature retirement, and a re-entry into the political fray. Ottawa was severely shocked to learn of this lawless misad- venture befalling the well- known Ottawa judge. 'Such things could never happen YOUR HEALTH ef here," nodded the old wis men. In contrast to the placidity of Ottawa, the Canadian placidity of Ottawa one might say, just imagine how dangerous life is elsewhere. I have told you. about tourist Thorson, held up at pistol-point while photographing the view. Now consider these newspaper ye . "Police busy trac! down bomb scares." vase "Teen - age gangs terrorize women pedestrians." "Police probe gang skirm- ish."" "Dynamite found; bomb scares in city." "Inquest on boy's death." The details are even worse than the headlines, CONTEMPT FOR LAW The first headlines related to police emergency squads in- vestigating seven threats of bomb blasts within 12 hours. Early Action Urged Against Poison Ivy By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My 15-year. old son has only to go near poi- eon ivy and he breaks out with it. Where can I buy pills to pre- vent the rash? He has been tak- ing poison ivy extract.--MRS. I. T. There are a number of pro- tective medications for poison ivy. Although I avoid trade names wheneevr possible, in this case I'! mention two with which I happen to be familiar. Toxinhus, a liquid extract, and Aqua Ivy, which comes in tablet. form, have been effective in my ex- perience, Doubtless there are others and I do not mean to slight them. These oral preparations are available in drug stores. Follow the directions carefully--and re- member that for maximum ef- » fect in building up protection against ivy, one must start tak- ing them early--about three months before contact is ex- pected. Alternatively, other extracts can be given by injection, but in that case you must rely on your doctor. Your comment that your son has been taking poison ivy ex- tract impels me to add a word of caution. If he has_ either oral or injected extracts this spring, don't add any other types of medication without your doctor's approval. Too Much can cause trouble. Your son obviously is highly sensitive. He doesn't really break out just by being '"'near" ivy. The sticky juice of leaves or stems must be reaching him. For one thing, it may cling to the fur of animals, only to be rubbed off on him or on bushes which he may touch. Again, some people break out from smoke of fires in which ivy is burning--the smoke carries the poison. Even with pre-season treat- ment, it is still wise for a per- son to beware the "leaves of three,"' because the protection is relative. It will combat some exposure but not always heavy contact. If you live where ivy flour. ishes, destroy it with chemicals, Ammonium carbamate serves well for this purpose. Your hardware or garden supply store can suggest other chemi- cals ppt are also effective. Dear Doctor: I recently bought my sister, with whom I live, a plastic bowl in which to feed her dog, figuring she should use it instead of one of our table dishes. I claim that feeding a pet from our dishes is very unsanitary and not in good taste. Am I right? -- M. M. In the matter of taste, yes. I think dogs should have their own feeding bowls. Besides, it's good training for a pet to learn to eat from its own dish. As to the question of being unsani- tary, I see no great danger. Tests have shown that human mouths harbor many more germs, At any rate, I think you chose a tactful way of getting the idea across. The second described three gangs of youths, attacking pass- ers - by, especially women, snatching their handbags, and racing away. Some of their vie- tims were tourists, like Judge Thorson, who had landed from a passing ship to visit the shops. The third headline referred to a commando-type raid by 70 youths, transported in eight automobiles, and armed with that favorite weapon of hood- lums, bicycle chains, This ir- regular army drove to a nearby town to attack four other youths; but the intended vic- tims were appraised of the com- ing attack, and were able to muster their own gang to meet the assailants. The dead boy was the vic- tim of cerebral hemhorrage, caused in a fight with school companions. The find of dyna- mite amounted to an arsenal of 208 detonators and 100 sticks of explosive. RIGHT HERE AT HOME Was this another page in the life of South America? No. Every one of these stor- ies was to be read in a recent issue of the Chronicle-Telegraph Of Quebec City, and related to the previous day's happenings in that city. . : Asked about this growing crime wave by teen-age boys and young men, senior RCMP officials here point out that Canada is suffering from a growing contempt for the law and for law-enforcement. offi- cers. This is not helped by the lenient sentences being handed down by some: benches, The cause? It is largely a by- product of unemployment, which is disproportionately heavy among teen-agers, and leaves them with nothing to do all day long and an urge to compensate by making them- selves appear important. Superimposed upon this situ- ation--which is nation-wide and by no means unusual in Que- bec City--there is also the vio- lence being attributed to FrenchCanadian extremists in the nationalist movement. The individual crimes 'them- selves are bad. But far worse, in the opinion of senior police officers, is the increasing mood of disrespect for the law. Those old enough to remember dis- respect for the prohibition law in the U.S. also remember how that disrespect paved the way for the advent of widespread or- ganized crime.

DOWNTOWN POOLS Dear Sir: As most people of our city (and most of the rest of the world) know, the City of Oshawa has been world news for a long time for being a city having a railway through the centre of the main street. But as that situation is to be taken care of in the near future, enough said. So, what are we going to have to make us newsworthy as the tracks? Well, we are the only city in the world that employs and pays engineers, who try to make water run uphill. You doubt it? Well, take a look at several places in the downtown business section and see water pools three and four these pools qi few people get splashed. We sure are quite a city. ONE WHO GOT SPLASHED, Oshawa A UNITED KINGDOM OPINION | Macmillan More Popular Following 'Kind' Budget By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Two significant expressions of public opinion that the xpress. The first poll was in refer- ence to the budget itself. Asked -whether they thought the bud- Political alignments of those who voted is even more striking. Of the Conservatives, 81% per cent said it was a good budget, 3% per cent a bad but 32% per cent were non- committal. Of the Liberal voters, 59 per cent considered it a good budget and 14% per i all three political parties there came substantial approval of the budget from those who had made up their minds. SWING TO MACMILLAN Even more striking is the result of the latest Daily Ex- press poll on whether the pub- lic was satisfied or dissatisfied with Mr. Macmillan as Prime Minister, He has jumped up several points in public favor, and it is signifi that this swing to Macmillan coincides with the introduction of the budget. Of those who give their opinions, 44 per cent were satis- ed with Mr. Macmillan. In the Previous poll on this question, taken exactly a month ago, the figure was 38 per cent. In the current poll, 4344 per cent were dissatistied with him, compared with 50 per cent a month ago. The same picture emerges in reply to the question of whether or not those quizzed were satis- fied or dissatisfied with the government's conduct of affairs. In the current poll 41 per cent declared they were satisfied, compared with 33% per cent a month ago. On the other hand, HISTORY TODAY IN By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 20, 1963 . . .

More Blame Than Praise: For Pearson As Leader BY THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) At the time voters gave larg- est number of seats to the Liberals on April 8, criticism for Mr. Pearson's work as Leader of the Opposition, was considerably higher than Praise. In the West a majority of the public were in a critical mood, compared to only one in five in Quebec Province. On- tario ad the Maritimes ranked in between these extremes. Most of the objection had to do with Mr. Peargon's own critical approach to govern- ment. "He hasn't tried. to co- operate." Those who praised his work did so, in the main, on a general basis, plus an ap- preciation of the man's sincer- ity and honesty. Interviewers for the Gallup Poll asked: "Do you approve or dis- approve of the way Lester B. Pearson is handling his job as leader of the opposition." As the comparison below shows, approval for Mr. Pear- son's work runs fairly evenly across Canada, Objection in Quebec is at only half the Jevel in the Maritimes and Om. tario, and even less, proportion- ately, than in the West. Almost one in two men and women in Quebec were undecided. Approved Mr. Pearson's Work? Approved Mr. Pearson's work? Approve Disapprove Undecided NATIONAL, ciccssvesvonsdees Maritimes ....

Ontario West Apart from a_ general ac- claim for Mr. Pearson's work in general, and his character as a man, one in ten, or less, of the voters praised him, among other things for the way he speaks his mind.
