Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1963-----PAGE 6 Much To Be Explored In Our Inner Space Scientists believe that the ocean floor abounds in mineral! wealth, that marine life, properly culti- vated, could feed the world for decades to come, that the chemical and physical energy of the sea is a vast source of power and that man might be able to change clima- tes and direct the weather if he knew more of the oceans' secrets, Yet we know less about many parts of the ocean than we do about the surface of the moon, the Mil- waukee Journal notes. Adequate fishing information does not exist for nine-tents of the coasts of the world, Today's maps of the ocean basins compare' in accuracy and detail to the 18th century maps ot! land, according to a U.S. National Academy of Sciences report The Marianas trench in the west- ern Pacific, for example, believed to e the deepest part of the ocean, 1s still a mystery.

All this is acknowledged by complaints that are permitted to be published in the controlled press and by criticism spoken by senior party officials. In view of this it is rather amu- sing that in the opinion ofa Soviet housing expert: now touring this country, the average ( 'anadian house or apartment is interesting is too costly to be considered practical for actual needs, commen- tator C. J. Harris observes. Except for builders and landlords, most people might agree that our housing c sts are high, but it is evident fror further comments of the visiting expert that in comparison to the Soviet we get good value in. the way of housing for what it costs us.

We have heard that Bob Thompson, the. So¢ial Credit leader, is going to share the wealth; that Barry Mather, the New Democratic MP from New Westminster, B.C., will subsi- dise worthy causes; that J. J, Greene, the Liberal MP from Renfrew South, will donate his increase to charities But not a word from any Tory, not even from those seven Tories from Saskatchewan and Alberta who-stood up in the House of Commons and by their votes said: "No, no, no. Don't give me a raise!" The full story of the House of Commons dancing the political twist on that Black Monday has not yet been told. But the rec- on speaks clearly: 200 MPs oted in favor & an immediate Saas: in their remuneration to $18,000 a year, while 10 voted against it Included in those 10 were John Diefenbaker (Prince Al bert, Sask), Gord Clancy (Yorkton, Sask.), Bert Horner (The Battlefords Sask.), Ed Nasserden (Rost n Sask.) Pascoe (Moose Jaw Reynold Rapp (Hum. boldt, Sask.) and Deane Gund- ock (Lethbridge, Alta.) WOMEN, CHILDREN FIRST The Social Credit deputy leader,. Real Caouette, made good his promise that he would oppose any increase for MPs unless the government first in creased the baby bonus. He voted against the pay boost and he was followed by two other Socred MPs from Quebec who. felt the same: Charles- Sask.) Eugene Dionne (not the father of the quints) and' Raymond Langlois. There are cynics who suggest that Diefenbaker and his. six self denying Tory followers achieved. the best of both worlds; They could anticipate that enough MPs would vote in favor of the boost to make sure that it became effective, yet by voting against it themselves they could avoid the eriticism of an outraged public. Thus they could gain. financial ad vantage and make political yards at the same time We have not heard the last of public criticism of that boost Certainly MPs should be paid more than the miserable $8,000 salary plus $2,000 expense al lowance which was their total remuneration prior to. this boost. This column is on the record as urging that it should be increased to $12,000 salary Mus up to $8000 expenses, which is higher than the boost actually given to them But there are two very grounds of criticism, The first s that MPs who were elected to this Parliament knew the terms attached to the position they sought at the genera) elec- tion; they had an implied con tract to the electors and tax payers to take the job at that price, and the higher remuner- aion should have been made effective only after the next election, in the opinion of many people. Secondly, it is improper that MPs and other legislators should, alone of all Canadians permit themselves to draw an unaccountable expense allow ance PUT UP OR SHUT UP Against these criticisms, So cial Credit Leader Bob Thomp son has declared that he' will valid BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Nancy sprinter Murrall, Oshawa girl besides doing well for herself im the individual races, helped the Toronto Lakeside Club set a new Canadian record for the relay race in the Domin- » Women's track meet at Halifax of Whitby used to help in a search for a three-year-old boy who was lost in the woods at Minden The child was found after a-day and a half of searching Norman Irwin his airplane Leonard Dervent was declared champion top spinner of Osh awa and his family were driven an invasion Fred Marshal of Thomas street from their home by on of Mrs Miss Sound spent Kiwanis e direct Oshawa, and of Ower The the nati Statesman for hav. the news- Bowmanville award page of weekly won 2 he hest 2,000 Canadian papers 'on Mrs. R charge of Leo Gray was im the hospital auxiliary held on the e was assisted Mrs. A R.
