Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1963--PAGE 6 Quebec Creditists May Try Provincial Arena The expected break-up of the "national" Social Credit party has now taken place, with Real Caou- ette engineering a breakaway of the Quebec wing but failing to win a complete sweep. Enough Quebec Creditist members of Parliament remained loyal to national 'leader Robert Thompson to give him a slight edge, while other provincial organizations have denounced the Caouette move. Mr. Thompson says he's happy about the developments, because now the national party will not have to bear the burden of Mr. Caouette. There is no doubt that Mr. Caouette's frantic oratory has made no friends for Social Credit outside Quebec province. It's ques- tionable, however, whether his an- tics cost Mr. Thompson and his supporters many votes. Social Credit is simply not a national party; it is regional, with a certain amount of slop-over support from the -provincial organizations in Bri Columbia and Alberta and uncertain backing in Quebec. Mr. Thompson and his colleagues speak bravely of grass-roots sup- port in Ontario and Manitoba, but there is no evidence of any growth that would lead one to expect the election of even one or two members in the forseeable future. What about the future of the Caouette wing? Federally, it does not look promising. Indeed, it's diff- cult to see any future for it at all. Priyate opinions expressed by two or three of Mr. Caouette's support- ers tend to confirm that view. The question, then, is whether Mr. Caou- ette will turn to Quebec provinciai politics and try to give a separatist base to his economic folderol. Most of the Creditists have been wordy champions of the "rights" of French-speaking Quebecois in the House of Commons. Indeed, they have gone out of their way to make themselves appear as champions, and some of their speeches might have been written by separatists. It would be easy for them to move solidly into this area, filling the vacuum being left by the now aim- less National Union. School System Failure One of the really bad things about Canada's system of education is the disparity between urban and -rural schools -- between the physi- cal as well as the teaching condi- tions. Children went back to classes this week in Ontario. While city coun- cillors all across the province were growling about the "frills" provided by school boards for stu- dents and their teachers, parents in many rural areas were complaining about the primitive school condi- tions inflicted on their children. Eighty children were kept home from school by their parents in protest against conditions in Wal- pole township schools in the Sim- coe district. Seven of the eight schools, which serve about 300 chil- dren, were built around 1900. Parents have complained about un- . sanitary conditions, failure to pro- vide proper fire escapes and impure drinking water. Stories That Many literary classic has been inspired by a child's simple de- mand, "Tell me a story". Alice started her visit to Wonderland that way. Christopher Robin in- spired, a whole string of rhymes. Several excellent animal stories came from it -- the imperisaable Lassie, for example, started as a response to child who wanted a story, and was not committed to paper for some time after the verbal telling. Most of the stories told to amuse children, however, have explored the world of fantasy, because chil- dren have a sense of wonderment. Most adults lose it. Those who re- tain it tell the best stories. The story of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, for example, began on a blustery afternoon early in 1900, when the four young sons of Lyman Frank Baum stamped the Chicago snow from their feet and" demanded that he tell them a tale.

The complaints about frills on the one hand and primitive condi- tions on the other are part of the same fundamental problem: How to provide an -equitable system of schooling which does not give pre- ferred treatment to some children but does give all students, wherever they may live, the same opportunity to inform their minds and prepare themselves intellectually and tech- nically for the future. This goal can never be reached as long as we cling to narrow paro- chialism in our municipal structure. The day of the small-area school board is past, just as the day of the artificial municipal boundary is past. Municipally, we are trying to meet jet-age demands with a horse- 'and-buggy mentality. Are Told A man of lively imagination, he started with a Kansas cyclone. It blew so hard, he said, that it took a Kansas farmhouse and a little girl and dog in it to a far-off land. As Baum added characters to the story -- the tin man, the talka- tive scarecrow, the cowardly lion -- he realized it held the attention of his listeners as none of his other tales had done. Later, in his own room, he began to think of the pos- sibilities of publication. He began writing immediately, using the backs of letters and envelopes in his pockets because he had no writing paper immediately available. After covering several "pages" of the crumpled scrap paper, he began to think about a title. The Wizard part. was obvious, but the Wizard of what? He looked at his letter file, with its three drawers labelled A-G, H-N, O-Z. The third set registered. One can only wonder how many wonderful tales for children have been lost because the teller did not think to write the story after it was told. Other Editors' Views NO DISTINCTION (Montreal Star) The youngsters who painted FLQ slogans in Westmount are charged with public mischief. That is a mild enough charge for the defacement of buildings. But what they must realize, as those already in custody must realize, is that they are charg- ed not with political but with crim- inal offences. Our law knows no such thing as a political offence that involves either mischief or violence, The Oshawa Sines 'ATLAS, POOR YORICK' REPORT FROM U.K. Military Tattoo Festival Feature By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London ..Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times EDINBURGH, Scotland--Pre- sented in front of the fabulous background of the massive and floodlit Edinburgh Castle, the Military Tattoo, which is .one of the crowning features of the festival period, is a spectacle which people come from all parts of the world to savor and enjoy. I doubt if anywhere else in the world there is anything to compare with it. For three weeks, it packs the stands built YOUR HEALTH on the castle esplanade with be- tween 6,000 and 7,000 people, and all the seats for it are sold many weeks in advance. On the evening when I attend- ed, there were hundreds of Canadians in the audience. That was evidenced when the an- nouncer for the show asked the visitors countries to show their presence by their applause. When he called for the contin- gent from Canada, the great roar of applause and cheers in- dicated that there had been in- deed an invasion of Edinburgh Majority Helped By Use Of Aspirin By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Is aspirin habit-forming? I find myself quite nervous about a week be- fore my menstrual period and have been taking from two to four tablets a day. Is prolonged use habit-forming or harmful? --MRS. RLK. No. The dosage you are tak- ing is not unreasonable, and is not harmful or habit-forming. But to fill you in on the kind of worries that sometimes are aroused, read this next letter: Dear Doctor: How come some doctors say aspirin is harmless and others say otherwise? I have arthritis and my doctor prescribed six to eight aspirins a day. Now why all this baloney in the papers (clipping enclosed) about what ailments aspirin can cause? I took cortisone and it caused side effects. Is this clip- ing true? No sides, now. Tell me the truth--MRS. P.M The clipping quotes Dr. James Roth, of the University of Pennsylvania, as ' reporting that as many as 60 to 70 per cent of people can lose (the ar- ticle says) "as much as a tea- spoon of blood in the stomach after taking two aspirins.". He adds that ulceration of sensitive tissues can be another conse- quence. A report such as Dr. Roth's is of technical importance, but it also can scare some people What he says is not "'baloney." The trouble is in the way it is interpreted. -- It is well known, as I have frequently written, that aspirin can irritate the stomachs of some people. There can be slight bleeding. All the same, the drug is one of the most valuable we have. (Mrs. PM tried cortisone and stopped be- cause of the side-effects; by TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Soviet cipher clerk Igor Gouzenko defected from the. Soviet embassy in Ottawa 18 years ago today -- in 1945 -- taking documents which he handed to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, exposing a network of Soviet espionage in Can- ada. The documents he carried out of the embassy resulted in some 20 espion- age trials and nine convic- tions. Since his revelations, Gouzenko has been living in Canada under an assumed = with RCMP protee- on. 1638--Louls XIV was born. a switching to aspirin she adopted a drug which in many instances is just as effective and better tolerated.) Some people can't tolerate as- pirin because of a drug reac- tion. Others have to be careful of it because of stomach irri- tation. ' But the majority of us gain far more help from aspirin, used wisely, than we ever suf- ter from it. Six or eight tablets a day for an arthritis sufferer are perfectly reasonable. And now to get back to the "bleeding" let's take another look at the article which quoted Dr. Roth. It reads, at the end: "Although a teaspoonful isn't very much (blood), it indicates that discrimination should be used in taking aspirin." Roth said the blood loss was not dangerous unless a person suffered from anemia. 'But," he continued, 'some individuals will occasionally lose as much as three ounces of blood inter- nally without knowing it." In short; Dr. Roth rightly wants: aspirin (and any medi- cine, I am sure) to be used sensibly. So do I. Do I take aspirin? Yes. Dear Dr. Moiner: Will eating orange juice in a frozen, con- centrated form, harm one? My parents think so.--RN, No; it's just orange juice, with some of the water re- moved. GALLUP POLL by people from Canada. Only visitors from the United States seemed to send forth a greater volume of sound at the mention of their country. GLITTERING SPECTACLE The military tattoo presented a glittering spectacle from the moment of the sounding of a trumpet fanfare from the castle ramparts to the fabulous grand finale. The massed pipe bands of famous Scottish regiments, in their vari-colored tartans, with the ribbons flying from their pipes, presented a feast of color as they marched and counter- marched, and set the feet of the spectators tapping as they play- ed strathspeys and 'reels. These massed pipe Hands are always the most popular feature of the program, and their appearance brought heart-stirring applause. This year, however, there were other pipe bands, from distant countries. The pipes and drums of the famous Gurkhas were there. And a pipe band from the Jordan Arab army, in dis- tinctive Arab uniforms, showed that it had been well trained in the art of playing the bagpipes. As an added feature, along with the Jordan Arab Army pipers there appeared a _ contingent from the Desert Patrol, mount- ed on camels with picturesque uniforms and accoutrements. SPECIAL FEATURES In addition to the appearances of the massed pipe and military bands, there were some special features of the program. An in- novation this year was a demon- stration of fire-fighting and res- cue work by the Edinburgh fire brigade, including a spectacular rescue of a woman from a burn- ing building high up on. the castle ramparts, using 100-feet high ladders, A contingent. of the Gurkhas presented a realistic demonstra- tion of clearing out a Malayan jungle of Communist terrorists. A Royal Army Medical Corps showed the technique of hand- ling casualties from jungle fight- ing until] they were loaded on helicopters to be transported to hospital. Popular and _ colorful was a display of Highland dancing by the kilted soldiers of four Scottish regiments. - The grand finale, embodying the retreat, the sounding of the Last Post, and the playing of "Lights Out" by a lone piper perched on the highest point of the castle, was impressive. And then, to the strains of "'Scottand the Brave" played by the mass- ed pipe bands and massed mili- tary bands, the whole company of hundreds of participants marched off the esplanade and the spectacle was over. The crowd spilled down the hill to- wards historic St. Giles Cathed- ral, and 'it was a crowd whic! had felt all the thrill of a mos spectacular event.

The paddle . wheel - shaped $20,000,000 edifice housing the centre's concert hall and opera house won't be completed for the opening. ; Only half the 800-car under- "ground garage will be ready. The outdoor concrete plaza will be finished only on. the east corner, leaving sub-level con- struction work exposed. The dust of construction will still be in the air when patrons walk the improvised ramp to reach the entrance on St. Cath- arine Street. Some may wince at the sight of construction shacks, idle ma. OTTAWA REPORT frost and exposed excava- ions. But once inside, the patrons should be dazzled by an atmos- phere of opulence and culture. They will see the newest in contemporary Canadian art. They will walk. on rich red car- pets beneath radiant Viennese chandeliers, ride the escalators . or walk up the spiral staircase of the elegant main lounge. ' And finally they will enter the auditorium where every seat is the best because none is more than 130 feet from the © stage. WORK DELAYED Directors had hoped to com- plete the building, both inside and out, by mid-July. But they ran into unexpected snags. Workers encountered gritty soil on the west wing of the garage, and were forced to Machine Changes Pattern Of Jobs By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--'Most of our un- employed are well qualified for jobs as. ditch-liggers. But un- fortunately in our society today, aitches gre dug by machines." This comment by one of our employment agency officials neatly sums. up the problem whith faces Canada today. And it explains why the government of Ontario Premier John Ro- barts has organized a confer- ence to study Automation and Social Change. Man is gradually being re- placed by the machine in most fields of production. The ma- chine is harder working; it is quicker; it is more accurate; it can work longer hours; its per- unit cost of production is lower and it doesn't collectively de- mand higher wages every year. We have seen this. replace- ment trend creeping up on us for a long time under the name of mechanization. Now a brain has been added to the muscles of the machine, and the new trend is called automation and wt is progressing faster. WHAT IS AUTOMATION? Just how is the new breed of brainy machines creating "technological changes" in our industries? I addressed this question to Hon. Leslie Rowntree, minister of labor in the Ontario govern- ment, who is prominent in urg- ing the need for and in promot- ing this month's conference on automation, to be héld in Tor- onto Sept, 17-19 Four main types of automa- tion have been distinguished, Mr. Rowntree tuld me. The first is "automatic ma- pe aoa This is really just an a stage of mechaniza- The second is 'integrated ma- terial handling and processing equipment." The new element here is the integration of sev- eral machines with one another, and the use of elaborate auto- matic machines for handling materials. Perhaps the best ex- ample is the great' automatic process for machining engine -- in the automobile indus- ry The third is "automatic feed- back controls." These are self- regulating devices. The proto- type is simply the thermostat which regulates the heat in your home. These machines save the human brain, whereas simpler technological changes save the human hand and hu- man energy. The fourth is 'electronic com- puters and data processing ma- chines." These are the very symbol of automation. MATING OF MACHINES We now are in the era of the mating of machines. The mus- cles of mechanization are being plexed. Typical of the children of this Cold Love Age is a U.S. robot called Zip, This consists of an electronic brain which can remember, select and give orders; it bosses a typesetter. The combination can set type to order at the terrifying speed of 450 letters a second.

BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO The Oshawa Male Chor, under the direction of James Hurst, won second prize at the CNE, being only a fraction ot.a point behind the winning choir from Sarnia. Four hundred single un- employed men were sent to bebicg at Barriefield near King- ston. Public Schools opened and In- spector C. F.

Lapointe, pi of the Sir Georges Etienne Car. tier Corporation, established to build and administer the com- plex, says Place Des Arts will be the world's only such cul- tural centre to operate on a self - supporting basis withou continuing government suppo: For example, revenue from the proposed commercial build- ing will be used to retire de. bentures which the corporation intends to issue after final con- struction plans are announced. After the two - week opening festival in the fall, of opera and symphonic music, the cor- poration will act only as a rental agent for Place Des Arts facilities, Mr. Lapointe said the rental fees envisaged will be competitive with other large theatres in Montreal. - The $1,000,000 site was do- nated by the Quebec gover ment, which also gave $2,30),. 000 towards the project. The City of Montreal donated $2,300,000. A publie campaign was launched to raise an ad- ditional $3,500,000, but so far, only $1,759,000 has been sub- scribed of which $345,000 is in pledges that haven't yet been honored, One of the first steps the corporation took was to hire Silas W.
