The Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1963 -- PAGE © / Liberals Get Assurance _ Of Longer House Life The-New Democrats' refusal to vote on a Conservative non-con- fidence motion in the House of Commons Monday evening creates & precedent. They sat in the Com- mons in not-so-silent disapproval of Finance Minister Walter Gordon and all his works; their leader, T. C. ' Douglas was savagely critical of the Gordon budget; but they abstained from voting because, as Mr. Doug~- las explained, they did not want to force another general election. Conservative leader Diefenbaker protested their action, claiming it was a violation of parliamentary rule and procedure, But the Speaker upheld them. And thus are prece- dents created. F The New Democrats could have avoided this interesting demons- tration of disapproval -- or per- haps a better word would be non- approval. They could have followed the time-honored custom of parties which want to register opposition to the government without forcing the government out of office: A quick poll of the House reveals how many party members can vote without giving the opposition a majority, and the remainder find other duties in the corridors and offices when the vote is held. Any party whip worth his salt should have a.clear picture of the balance of the House whenever a vote is in the offing. Mr. Douglas and his colleagues chose, however, to remain in the House to register disapproval of Mr. Gordon and his budget while absta- ining from voting to retain the Pearson government in office. It was a rather confusing demonstra- tion of principle, and some mem- bers of the party subscribed to it only reluctantly. Politically, it may have been a blunder. The Liberals are now sure of something they had only half-believed: They can proceed as if they held an over-all majority of Commons seats; they can keep pushing the opposition, retaining the initiative which is so important to parliamentary stra- tegy. The New Democrats have thus permitted the Liberals to get a firm bite on the bit. Weaknesses In Budget The parliamentary fuss over the incredibly naive behavior of Finance Minister Walter Gordon has tended to obscure some of the other after- maths of his budget. There is now apparent, however, a strong and deep sense of disappointment run- ning through the business commu- nity, and if it persists, not all of Mr. Gordon's cute little $500 and $75 gimmicks will make up for the damage caused, When the budget was brought down, the business atmosphere was buoyant; warmly optimistic views were being taken of economic con- ditions through this year and well into 1964; there was talk of a pro- longed boom. Since the budget, the talk has been much more restrained -- and in one important sector of the economy, it has taken a pessi- mistic tone: The construction in- dustry is in a dither, and well it might be. Mr. Gordon's imposition of an 11 per cent federal sales tax on building materials has had an immediate and damaging effect on the industry from coast-to-coast. Provincial and municipal govern- ments are disturbed enough by the possible effects of the tax on their costs to review their construction plans; industries and businesses are taking another look at their plans for plant expansions or new factory buildings. The Welland Tribune reports --~ "the tax is so far-reaching that i one Welland plant, where carbon electrodes and ferro-alloys are pro- duced, products from the electrode department which are conveyed to the firm's alloy furnaces are levied for the sales impost even though they never leave the plant." The deeper one digs into the Gor- don budget, the more dangerous gimmickry one uncovers. Racial Unrest Costly The cost of racial] strife is mate- rial as well as moral. Unrest, ten- sion and violence which usually accompany racial conflict within a community slow down the economic pace' even in the absence of direct boycott campaigns. This is the ex- perience of cities in the United States. A survey by The Associated Press revealed these conditions: For four years, Little Rock, Ark., suffered industrial stagnation in the wake of violence and unrest over school desegregation. No new plants moved to the city from the onset of the racial crisis in 1957 until 1961. Only when it became apparent that the violence was definitely at an end did industry renew its interest in' Little Rock, The economy of Birmingham, Ala., was badly damaged by an effective boycott by Negroes and by the marching, picketing and other demonstrations which helped keep shoppers from downtown stores. Department store sales in the city fell from plus 15 per cent The Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

The' Chamber of Commerce in Jackson, Miss., reported negligible effects from racial turmoil, but off-the-record statements by busi- nessmen there indicate that the Chamber may be beating a propa- ganda drum. Negro boycotts have been effec- tive in Atlanta and Nashville, where Negroes have forced desegregation of lunch counters and other facili- ties.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times STEVENAGE NEW TOWN, Hertfordshire ---- A_ proposal made by the Stevenage New Town Development Corporation to increase the size of the town from a population target of 80,- 000, which was the origmal figure, to 140,000, has been met by swift comment and criticism from individuals and authorities likely to be affected In a study of the technical YOUR HEALTH possibilities of expanding the new town, drawn up at the re- quest of the minister of housing Sir Keith Joseph, the corpora- tion reports that an expansion from 80,000 to 140,000 population is "technically feasible, would not be too late to be successful and would be economical." The proposal has been put for- ward as a contribution towards solving the desperate housing shortage in the southeast sec tion of England The corporation proposes that Rey Perforated Drums Call For Caution By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I have per- forated ear drums. When swim. ming what is the best way to prevent water from getting into my ears? ; I use rubber ear plugs, and sometimes cotton and a bathing cap. I now swim in a fresh wa- ter pool. Should I give up the sport?--A. G. R. Some ear specialists advise against swimming if. you have perforated ear drums; others merely urge care and caution The danger is that some form of organism--bacteria or a fun- gus--may enter through the opening in the drum A chlorinated pool is better than open water because fewer such organisms may exist. Snug rubber ear plugs might he effective, but don't dive in the pool because the pressures may force water past them. Simple cotton plugs and a cap are not adequate. Dear Dr, Moliner: Please com- ment on the value of "'ultra- sonic sound" in treatment of neuritis. Are there any inherent dangerous after-effects? Mrs. C.H I'l! comment to this extent: The treatment doesn't seem to be predictable. Perhaps we don't know enough about it yet. I had 20 such treatments for chronic bursitis without any re- sults that I could detect. Yet a friend of mine took six treat- ments. for bursitis and they worked like a charm. (In my case, deep X-ray finally was successful.) Dear Dr. Molner: Does pul! ing a small child or baby up by one arm hurt it in any way?-- 8. A. R.

In fact, if you yank a child by both arms, it can be danger- ous A hard yank can harm the nerves of the arm and joint capsules. I've often wondered why more children aren't hurt by the way some irritable moth- ers haul little ones around in crowds. j Gentleness and kindness are always best Dear Dr. Molner: Would a drink of whisky--jus! once--at night harm my high blood pres. sure? I am 82.--Mrs, M. K. §. It shouldn't harm you; it should relax you, and that would be helpful. Whisky is frequently recommended -- but strictly as medication, and limited to an ounce or two a day. Overindul- gence, of course, would not be good for you about 2,000 acres of farmland to the west of the Stevenage by- pass road could be used for huge new residential] and indus- trial areas, extending the boun- dary of the new town to that extent TAKE LORD'S LAND If this suggestion is adopted by the minister, much of the farmiand to be taken would be- long to the Knebworth estate of Lord Cobbold, the new Lord Chamberlain and former gover- nor of the Bank of England Strongest criticism of the plan came from. William Potter, elerk of the Hitchin Rural Coun. cil, which is the only local au- thority outside of Stevenage likely to be affected Said Mr. Potter These proposals are mad- Not only my council, but the county council and the Rura] District Councils' Asso- ciation, are strongly against any further infiltration of peo- ple into Hertfordshire. "We have already taken more than our share, The more peo- ple that come in, the' more schools we shall have to build-- and all this will come out of the ratepayers' taxes, Although the expansion suggested sounds as though it will not affect any of the populated rural areas to.any great extent, I and a- great many other people are till against the proposal,-: because we are against any more dras- tic increases in population in this county." NOTHING OFFICIAL Just how far the plan has pro- gressed is not yet definite. / spokesman at Lord Cobbold's estate-office said: "We haveNheard nothing offi- cial of the plan as yet. It sounds alarming, but we should have to study it in detail before passing any commerts."' There is also strong opposi- tion throughout the Stevenage district to the idea of diverting 2,000 acres of the best farmland in the county to residential and industrial purposes Before the plan can go ahead, however, the minister of housing has to pass upon it, and if he follows the normal. practice in such cases, he will order a pub- lic inquiry at which all the crit- ics and objectors will have an opportunity 'o express their views and argue their case. ness BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Rev.

Hon, Joseph R. Smallwood, premier of Newfoundland, now rates as our second senior pre- mier with 14 unbroken years in office; he is exceeded only by Alberta's Premier Ernest Man- ~ ning, who has just celebrated his 20th consecutive year in of- fice with another electoral tri- umph, But despite his record of political durability and admin- istrative achievement for the 10th province to enter Confed- eration, he is still the driving force which Ottawa first knew as The Happy Little Guy with the Big Bow Tie who was the mainspring of the 1949 negotia- tions for that entry, | His hair has greyed, but his girth has not greatened; and his brain churns out ideas and comments and quips as he READERS' VIEWS SCHOOL GAMES Dear Sir On behalf of the Games Com- mittee of the Oshawa Public Schools "Annual School Games" held on Wednesday, June 19, 1963, at Alexandra Park, I wish to express to you and your staff our sincere appreciation for the complete coverage of this im- poftant closing event in our school year The importance of this train- ing in sportsmanship and clean competition derived from the- Annual School Games, and the stress and importance placed on the values of this event are made more impressive and more lasting for the boys and girls of our schools by you and your editorial staff.

Oshawa TRACK REMOVAL Dear Sir: I believe .the city paid Lan- Stark; McLaughlin and Bathe and McLellan $10,000 apiece for an_ inconvenience, namely the removal of the tracks. Now my point is the fact that there are a few small- er stores along the way who are going to lose a lot more because business wise and money wise they can't afford the loss of a few week's busi- ness while the road is repaired again, Another thing I would like to know is who suggested that the track removers work on Saturday and Sunday. We, the taxpayers have to pay dou- ble time for work performed on these days. ANDREW ELRICK der Oshawa, you for . strides up and down the room like a restless 62-year-old puma, The great project taking shape in his mind now is to create in Newfoundland a world - beating premiere, a school of fisheries, navigation, Seamanship, deep . sea engi- neering and electronics. GREAT FISHING GROUND __No country has yet had the idea of fully training its fish. ermen to take full advantage of technological . developments: Newfoundland, whose shores border the greatest fishing ground long known to Western civilization, should lead the way in exploiting the new aids, "Newfoundland's schoo! shail have the reputation of being the last word in everything to do with fishing, teaching the lat: est techniques known in the world, and never one month out of date," Joey promised, when describing his plans to me. Why is -this up-dating neces- sary, when Newfoundland has for five centuries been the suc- cessful base for fishermen us- ing hand-lines in small dorys? I asked. ~--. The hand-line is excelled by the mechanical trawl, equipped with its electromic scanner which shows the fish actually being 'caught in the trawl, he said. The dory is both danger- ous and uncomfortable. Be- sides, national pride insists that Newfoundiand should not lag behind the many foreign na- tions which. send hundreds of efficient modern fishing craft to reap the bountiful fish harvest on her Grand Banks. Russia, for example, sends big modern factory ships, beautiful as ships, which catch and pack the fish H. A. WASHINGTON As improved medical know- ledge lengthens our expected life span, the world increasingly faces new problems created by the resulting 'population explo- sion." On a world-wide scale, the most dire problem is to find sufficient protein to feed every- one suitably, Protein can be ob- tained most readily from fish. So the world needs improved methods of catching fish, and better methods ~ serving it. As examples of advanced thinking on this line, Mr. Smallwood mentioned that food processors are contemplating a fish-flour made by grinding up whole fish, thus eliminating waste; and a flavored fish-flour to overcome the objection some people hold towards the taste of fish. But, naturally, Newfound- land's government thinks fore- most of Newfound landers. Technology, in the form of the power saw, has cut down the umber of jobs in the logging industry. As an alternative, Newfoundlanders must look to the fisheries to provide them with well-paid, pleasant work. For this, the quality of the fish industry must be upgraded by introducing new methods of catching 'the fish and getting - them to the consumer, Premier Smallwood plans to send a team to comb the world for ideas, which this fall will result in the opening of the world's first up-to-date techni- cal training school for fisher- men -PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Almost any -gardener wonders if nature isn't more considerate of insects than she is of human beings, Man is. travelling faster than ever, but it's a big question as to where it's getting him, People are paying more for government than for food -- and being governed isn't neare ly so much fun as eating.
