ye Oshawa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1963---PAGE 6 Riding Redistribution Requires Early Action Former Speaker of the House of Commons, Roland Michener has added his voice to the growing de- mand for immediate attention to the delayed job of redistribution of federal ridings. Redistribution should have been carried out last year, following the 1961 census, but it was delayed as John Diefenbaker fought an election and toyed with a proposal to have redistribution carried out by an independent com- mission instead by a committee of Parliament. 'The commission proposal should be retained. A major overhaul of constituencies is required, to bring them more in line according to population, and it is doubtful if a parliamentary committee would handle such a controversial job the way it ought to be handled. Mr. Michener has pointed out that in Manitoba, in the election {just -past, 207,000 urban Winnipeg voters are now represented by five members of Parliament, and 177,000 rural voters by nine MPs. There aré many other examples of in- equitable representation. One Li- beral MP was elected in Iles de la Madeleine with 3,029 votes. Another Liberal MP required 61,853 votes to be elected in York-Scarboro -- more than 20 times as many as his Iles de Ja Madeline colleague. The Liberals, in fact, should be eager for a redistribution. If it had been carried out in 1962, it is quite possible that they would now have a working majority in the Commons. The rural constituencies which favored the Conservatives would undoubtedly have been reduced in proportion to the urban constitu- encies, which generally favored the Liberals. As the Vancouver Sun has noted, Mr. Diefenbaker's solid 17 in Saskatchewan might well have been a solid 14 or 15. The conduct of past parliamen- tary committees handling redis- tribution is the best argument for the appointment of an impartial commission to handle the job. One does not have to go back very far for example of questionable pro- cedure. It will be recalled how a Liberal-dominated committee wiped out Mr. Diefenbaker riding in Sas- katchewan, It was the Liberals, too, who in 1952 split the natural riding of Burnaby, in British Colum- bia, into the unnatural Burnaby- Coquitlan and Burnaby-Richmond. Mr. Diefenbaker rightly said that the appointment of a commission would do away with "the abuses of the past". Unfortunately, he did not do much about it. Now Mr. Pearson has the chance to wipe out the memory of those abuses. Result Of Competition »Described' by Maclean's magazine as. "one of the biggest wars in Canadian industry," the contest be- tween the oil and natural gas in- dustries for the home-heating mar- ket is a striking example of the ways in which competition benefits consumers. The subject of the magazine article is the recent innovation by the fuel oil companies of inclusion of oil burner service in the price of fuel oil, saving home-owners any- where from $20 to $40 a year. The Magazine notes that natural gas companies introduced a similar free furnace service almost as soon as they seriously got into the home- heating field a few years back. But there is advantage to con- sumers in costs as well as service from the keen rivalry between the two industries. As an illustration, the magazine states that in Tor- onto oil prices "are as low today as they were in 1952 and the con- sumers' Gas Company recently an- nounced its fifteenth cut in gas- rates in seven years." As hardly needs to be pointed out, while competition between gas and oil has been holding down or reducing homé-heating costs, the over-all cost of living as measured by the consumer price index has gone up about 15 per cent. Mac's Tough Decision Dr. Richard Beeching, the man the British Government hired away from private industry to diagnose the chronic financial ills of thé state-run railway system, has rendered his verdict in a 60,000 word report. He has set out, in no uncertain terms, that drastic surgery will be réquired if the railway system is ultimately to pay its own way. Among the measures proposed is closure of half the nation's passen- ger stations, wholesale abandon- ment of uneconomic lines and ser- vices, increases in fares and an im- provement in the quality and con- .venience of those lines and services that are to be retained. The Beeching Plan, it has been estimated, will result in the loss of 70,000 railway jobs'in the next two or three years and possibly as many as 150,000 jobs by 1970. For this reason, of course, it has the ufanimous opposition of the rail lgbor unions involved. { The big question now is whether Bye Oshawa Fines T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

Clark in Windsor Star) Explaining how the passenger business on the Chicago, Burling- ton and Quincy Railroad has im- proved, Herbert C. Wallace, traffic manager, says they thought of try- ing salesmanship. He says they have tried the old- fashioned door-to-door salesman- ship. He adds they dredged up the old idea and it works. There used to be a lot of keen selling on the railroads' in both Canada and the United States. ' Then there was a general letdown as the railroads began to abandon passenger trains. But, a lot of people still like to travel by train. The railroads should never forget that.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times GLASGOW, Scotland --Al- though the Scottish shipbuilding industry, centred on the river Clyde, is in a deeply depressed state because of a lack of orders for ships to keep their workers employed, the heads of the ship- building firms are not sitting down and doing nothing about it. They are out chasing the orders - which will fill the empty berths in their yards. A typical example of this is a trip which John Rannie, ship- yard director of the firm of John Brown and Co. Ltd., has just made to France. The Brown Company is one of 10 which have been invited to tender for a new $21 million cruise liner for the Swedish-American Line. So Mr. Rannie flew down to Nice, in southern France, where he could look over one of the Swedish-American liners which was lying in that port. The sole purpose of that trip was to see at first hand all the details of the type of liners favored by that shipping line, so as to help his firm's engineers to make a truly competitive ten- der for the $21 million order, which would mean so much to Clydebank. -- Competition for it will be keen. Four other British yards and five foreign yards will also be bidding for the same job. OFF TO rus Another example of Clydeside enterprise is seen in the de- parture for Moscow of a sales team formerly employed by Simonz-Lobnitz, and now with Stephens' shipyard, which took over the former company. This sales team is aiming to get in on the ground floor for orders for dredgers which are wanted by Russia. And it will also be following up on a bid made last month by a consortium of Stephens-Brown and Scotts, of Greenock, for Russian fish meal factory vessels. Another progressive Clydeside firm out for more business is Dennys of Dumbarton, the firm which has developed a special type of hovercraft. In a few days. it will be showing the paces' of its D2 fibre glass hovercraft to the directors of the Austrian nationalized ship- ping companies. A Dennys spokesman said: "We have been in contact with the Austrians about the use of hovercraft on the Danube. We hope to take them on a trip on the Clyde on our D2 type craft." Still another Scottish industry will benefit from orders placed for an English power station. The Rolls Royce plant at Hill- ington, also in a Scottish area YOUR HEALTH of high unemployment, has se- cured an order worth $750,000 for two Avon engines, the same type as is used on the Comet jetliners, These iliary generating equipment at an English power station. CANADIANS WELCOMED And Scotland is looking for- ward with keen interest to the visits of Canadian trade mis- sions which are coming to Brit- ain this summer, the first of which has already arrived here. The first group is from the At- lantic provinces, and it is re- called that when a Nova Scotia delegation visited Scotland three years ago, several large orders were placed in that country. So these Scottish business men are not allowing them- selves to become downhearted by the fact that the country has a high unemployment percent- age as compared with England. They are out fighting for busi- ness, and they are optimistic that they will have a large measure of success. will be used as aux- No Lone Treatment Of Cystitis Cases By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: What are the causes of acute cystitis, and what is the prognosis?-- Mrs. R. G. Acute cases as a rule are readily cleared up. But urine examination to find out what type of infection is present is helpful in choosing the right treatment. : Where the trouble persists or becomes chronic, more exten- sive testing is advisable. Cys- titis, for example, may be a secondary result of infection higher up, that is, in the kid- ney's, This type of cystitis is likely to be chronic, and quite reasonably wil tend to con- tinue until the kidney trouble is corrected. Sagging or stretching of the bladder in childbirth is not un- common and can result in in- complete urination and hence some '"'puddling" in the blad- der. This, of course, provides a good medium in which germs can grow. In marked cases of BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Men on relief in the city plant- ed 25,000 trees in a tree nurs- ery, north of the Union Ceme- tery. The trees were to be re- planted on Oshawa's streets for the beautification of the city. Dr. T W. G. McKay, medi- cal health officer, reported the worst epidemic of mumps in the history of Oshawa; 185 cases were reported in April. Fifty-two men were being cared for at the Welfare Hostel;. 1,248 meals were served dur- ing.the week. W. Earle McLaughlin, of Osh- awa, won the Adam _ Shortt Scholarship in Political Science at Queen's University,, King- ston. Dr. Grant Bird was elected District Governor for the 27th District of Rotary International at Jamestown, N.Y. W.:M. Gilbert was appointed vice-president of Moffatt Motor Sales. General Motors started ship- ping cars to Britain completely by water, The cars were driven onto the CSL ship; City of Mont- real, in Oshawa harbor, and transferred to an ocean vessel at Montreal. ry Rev. W. R. Tanton of Co- bourg, was extended an invita- tion to become pastor of Sim-- coe Street United Church.

Attersley of Holy Trinity, treas- urer. Whitby town council decided that all men receiving relief must do some work for the town. The cadet corps of the Osh- awa Collegiate and Vocational Institute started training for its annual inspection, under the leadership of Cliff Chilcott.

To see whether ulceration of the biad- der wall may have developed, or.polyps or some other growth. Stones, too, can contribute to infection by setting up irrri- tation. In short, no single treatment will fit' all cases, and *some- times several examinations may be necessary before the precise cause is _ identified. Routing out of chronic, well- established infection may take time, but persistence should pay off. Dear Dr. Molner: I am a farmer's wife and my eyes give me a lot of trouble. They feel sore and full of matter but are not red. A specialist said it was an infection but it seems that when I go into our chicken house they get worse. Could chickens be the cause of the infection?--M. H. Yes. Rather than an infection, it could be a case of allergy to dust or dander in the chicken house. I urge you mention this connection to your doctor. Dear Dr. Molner: Is it pose sible for an arrested case of diabetes, controlled by diet only for many months, to be activated with a resultant sharp rise in blood sugar because of business aggravations or other Suppressed mental disturb- ances?--M. R. Yes, such emotional upsets can cause such a case of dia- betes to get out of control. OTTAWA REPORT French Carmaker May Pick Canada By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Will Canada soon have a state-owned automobile plant operating within her bor- ders? The implications to our do- mestic industry might be far- reaching if, as is being confiden- tially discussed in trade circles and government circles here, two more foreign car manufac- turers join the parade into Can- ada started by General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, and re- cently augmented by plans of Sweden's Volvo company. The two big French manufac- turers of small economy cars, Renault and Peugeot, are said to be examing the prospects of opening assembly and manufac- turing piants somewhere in Can- ada. Renault is a state - owned company, and its dividend is paid half to the state and half to the employees. The com- pany's relations with the union have for long been excellent, largely no doubt because of its generous policies. Not only does it have this profit-sharing prac- tice; but for eight years past it has had a guaranteed annual wage increase of 4 per cent or more, with a 40-hour week and a guaranteed overtime of eight hours. a week. There is equal pay for women, and a recent agreement pro- vides a four-week annual holi- day with pay. These provisions naturally make Renault, which is France's largest industrial en- terprise, something of a pace- setter in labor relations in that country. If the company should estab- lish a branch plant in Canada with similar labor policies, ft would equally become a pace- setter here. FROM ORE TO SEDAN Renault is one of Europe's oldest car makers; it is Eu- rope's third largest. But from its early days it has followed the policy of making everything for its cars, from the oil to the tires. This made Renault the outstanding example of "verti- cal integration" in the industry. But in recent years it has tended to decentralise, progres- Sively buying more and more components from outside sup- pliers. Keeping up to date with industrial methods, Renault to- day produces 3,000 cars a day, working at nearly peak capa- city, from its highly automated plant. Renault cars are already a familiar sight on the roads of many countries outside France. The R4 and the R8 both roll off the automated production lines at the rate of 1,000 cars a day. The Dauphin is often seen on Canadian highways. And the 4L is winning popularity on ac- count. of its no-service,. per- manently sealed grease and cooling systems. Two cargo boats, each car- tying 300 cars, ply continuously between the French river port of Rouen and the British port of Southampton, to meet the demands of the British market alone. And these new ships measure. up to the "automation" Philosophy of the Renault -plant, for each of their seven decks are fitted with drive-on, drive- off ramps, perhaps forerunners of similar ships which we may TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 9, 1963...

The 1943 vote, of course, re- turned a minority Drew govern- ment with 39 seats against 34 CCF, 14 Liberals, 2 Labor and © one Independent Liberal. The 1948 election--the last un- der George Drew--returned the second largest opposition since before the First World War. It sent back 21 CCF, 14 Liberals and two Labor Progressives, for 37 opposition members against 53 men_on the government side WIDE OPEN? That 1948 election was re- garded in advance as relatively wide open. And the same picture shapes up for the next vote. The present standing of the house is 64 PCs, 24 Liberals, 5 NDP and five seats vacant. Ten new Metro Toroto ridings are to be added to the present 98 seats which wili make an 108 seat Legislature. Which means 55 seats will be needed for a clear majority. And figures show that either the government or the Liberals might get this -- though the Grits would have a hard time squeezing through. First of all, of course, the 10 new seats. are wide open. None of them are in areas which have been firmly in the hold of any one party. Then there are the which well might change. If you take a rule of thumb that any member with a ma- jority of 2,000 or less is open to upset, and then add ridings which for-other factors -- such as the retirement of old stand- ard-bearers such as Charles Da- ley in Lincoln--can be consid- seats 'ered open, there are a large number of seats which could go any way. Out of the 108-seat house, in fact, there are 52 seats which are good fighting ground for' at least two of the three parties, On top of the 10 new seats, the five vacant ridings, as it happens, are all close between the PCs and the Liberals. And the NDP is a strong factor in two, Hamilton Centre and Sault St. Marie. In addition to these there ar 23 PC seats which are border- line, and 11 held by the Liber- als and three by the NDP.. Which makes for what should be a hard-fought and very inter- esting election--when it comes. Anthropologists Study South Pacific Outpost AUCKLAND, N.Z. (CP)--An anthropological expedition is be- ing organized to visit one of the world's loneliest outposts. It will study remains of peo- ple who lived in a remote cor- ner of the South Pacific long before the Bounty mutineers settled in that part of the world. The expedition will set out to- ward the end of the year for Henderson Island, which lies in the Pacific just south of the Tropic of Capricorn. Its only regular visitors are the Pitcairn Islanders who go there by long boat, a journey of about 100 miles. At other times it is uninhabited. And Pitcairn Island itself lies about 1,000 miles away from any other inhabited Jand. Pitcairn is inhabited by about 140 descendants of the Bounty mutineers. They visit Hender- son Island about once a year to bring back supplies of beauti- fully-grained miro wood, which they carve into vases and other curios for sale to passing ships. In their small open boats, these voyages are an adventure in themselves. But Henderson was visited by earlier navigators, as proved by remains found in caves on the island. Skeletons, ovens and numerous artifacts: have been discovered--evidence of visits or permanent habitation by Polynesian voyagers dating back to the times when Pacific island natives made epic ocean voyages in frail canoes and without benefit of compasses or chronometers, WOOL Realize the highest returns for your wool by patronizing your own Organization.
