Cs | Bhe Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher ae 4 cou MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1963----PAGE 6 Program For Retarded . As Centennial Crusade In the past 24 hours about 1,500 children were born in Canada. Forty-five of these children are destined to be mentally handicap- ped for life. There are now more than 600,- 000 mentally retarded persons in the Canadian population. When you consider their families as well, more -than two million people are directly affected by the problem. These figures give.point the pro- posal made at the last week's an- nual convention of the Canadian , Association for Retarded Children by Harry E. Foster, chairman of the Association's board of govern- ors. His idea: A ten-fold attack on mental retardation as a centennial crusade that would enlist voluntary agencies, university research cen- tres and governments. The proposal envisages ten major pilot projects, one for each pro- vince, on various aspects of the affiction. Each provincial division of the Association would assume responsibility for one, supported by finances and professional advice by the national organization. Mr. Foster said the program could pro- vide 'a more fitting monument in 1967 than any centennial gift to Canada wrought in stone or steel, and a means of benefit not only. to ". but to all mankind." : It\ is difficult to disagree with him. This is the sort of enlightened and imaginative project that would bring the brightest glory to Can- ada's centennial celebration. Pointing out that medical scien- ce's knowledge of retardation, as well as discoveries by sociologists and educationists of the ability of retarded people to become useful citizens, were comparatively recent advances, Mr. Foster's suggestion was that research on these fronts must be vigorously pressed now. His proposal is one that demands action. Decline Of Oratory Notable in the recent provincial election campaign was the lack of oratory. Mr. Wintermeyer, the fallen Liberal chieftain, tried to light a fire of indignation but his words lacked the heat of convic- tion. Premier John Robarts talked like the chairman of the board ad- dressing a meeting of shareholders. New Democratic leader Donald MacDonald again exhibited a good platform manner, but he pitches his appeal to the intellect rather than the emotions -- and good oratory has a high emotional content. In the federal field, both John Diefenbaker and T. C. Douglas are capable of oratory, although the latter's sense of humor keeps him from sweeping the revivalist heights frequently attained by the Tory leader. Prime Minister Pearson makes no attempt at oratory; he is simply not that kind of bird. Perhaps the day of the orator is past. The United States Con- gress and the British Parliament used to resound to the thunder of fine oratory, not so Many years ago. With Aneurin Bevan dead- and Churchill silent, thé Mother of Par- liaments hears little but board- meeting talk now. In the US. Senate there is the Illinois Repub- lican, Everett Dirksen, one of the few left who can orate without ap- pearing to be cornball. Someone has said that oratory combines speaking with the drama- tic art -- the use of the tone of voice, the pause, the gesture, to create an emotional effect. Perhaps the modern politician is too self- conscious, too fearful of express- ing his emotions to dare to be so flamboyant. This is a pity. It was Churchill- ian oratory that lifted a nation's spirit and put courage into the hearts of. free men everywhere. And it was Dirksen's oratory that assured the test-ban treaty of majority conservative support in the U.S. (Senate. Martin Luther King has stabbed the conscience of a continent with his oratory. Security Council Seats A Russian proposal for a change in the lineup of the UN Security Council's non-permanent members should not be summarily dismissed as just another Communist attempt to dominate the Council. The pro- posal has some merit, and should be given serious consideration. When the UN was founded in 1946 a gentlemen's agreement set the pattern for the six non-perma- nent members. Under it two were to represent Latin America, one the British commonwealth, one the Middle East and one each from eastern and western Europe. That arrangement didn't last long. The United States upset the apple cart and kept on doing it, the Milwaukee Journal points out. In 1949 Yugoslavia and Russia were at sword's point and the United States proposed Yugoslavia as the eastern European represen- tative. This infuriated Russia, which claimed that the eastern representative was to have been a She Ostaron Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

Then the United States got Greece and Turkey elected in order as the eastern representative. The Soviets continued to fume, and with some reason. By the time 1955 rolled around the whole business became ridiculous. The United States wanted the Philippines named. to the eastern European seat. Russia had changed and wanted Yugoslavia, and, after a long battle, the two split the term. In 1957 the United States backed Japan for the eastern European seat and won again. Now the Asian-African bloc has swelled the UN, and it wants its representatives to sit on the Secur- ity Council. That is understandable. To get proper balance, one of two courses is necessary -- either an enlarged Security Council or a new: gentlemen's agreement realigning the nations to. provide for the "equitable geographic representa- tion" originally agreed upon. Inas- much as the permanent members have a council veto, there is little risk that east or west will be harm- ed /whoever the non-permanent members are. Bible Thought Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. -- Psalm 87:4. Here is the one sure way to get everything that you have really wanted in life. But our desires need a bath, in Christ. After His clean- sing, they are new. Only by putting the Lord first can we get what we desire, HOW THE WEST WAS WON > YOUR HEALTH Movement Loosens Arthritic Joints By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I see that you advise movement of the joints to the fullest extent for arthritis, but not exercise. I have it in both legs. Moderate walks seem to help. Do you recommend this?--D.C.P, Yes, I do. Movement is im- por.ant to keep the joints from becoming too stiff. In cases of acute rheumatoid arthritis, exercise can be harm- ful. In the lesser types, it's im- portant to keep moving. By this I don't mean constantly, but every day, and several times a day, perhaps. I recall a woman, who, in her 20s. had rheumatoid arthritis, Her doctor (widely respected in medical circles), told her that if in the morning she forced herself to get moving, no mat- ter how much it hurt, she sould return pretty much to normal, But if she let the pain win, and moved as little as pos- sible, she would be a cripple for the rest of her life. She gritted her teeth--and moved--and t see her now, you'd never know she once had rheumatoid arth- ritis, So I say move. Call it move- ment. Call it exercise. But move! Here's another letter on the subject: Dear Doctor: I have had arthritis for many years. I hate to take '"'pain pills." I have found that tennis has helped me tremendously, It was a_ big fight at first. My legs felt like rubber and my arms like. lead and I could hardly lift them. I have been playing for a year now at least once a week or more often. If I skip the game for two weeks my arms and legs ache and become stiff. To me tennis is betier than . medicine and it affords a great deal of enjoyment, whether I win or lose, I agree, also, about heat. The 'relief from a hot bath is won- derful, if only temporarily.--B.J. I don't know B.J.s age, but I don't recommend tennis for a person in the 60s who hasn'! had any strenuous exercise for years. However, I recommend walk- QUEEN'S PARK ing, and more vigorous activity if it appeals to you. Use your common sense and your inter- ests to decide how you move. Heavy strain on the joints is harmful rather than helpful, but --well, I'm right back ai the beginning: The important thing is movement. I think aspirin, for more than one reason, is good, and I dis- agree with B.J, about trying to avoid "pain pills.' Move, but make it easy to move if aspirin helps. Dear Dr. Molner: Is it safe to dona'e clothes of a person who has cancer of the face and hands?--Mrs, R.H.S, Yes, because cancer is not transmitted from person to per- son. It develops individually. The only precaution is. to wash or clean the clothing first. The cancerous areas may harbor un- related infections. 'Stronger Premier Will Make' Changes By NON O'HEARN * TORONTO (CP)-- There will be changes made here. They will be made by Premier Ro- bects. : An some of them probably w"l shock Mr. Robarts' support- ers more than anybody. Robarts today is a much stronger premier than he was tw: weeks ago. Not because he has more sup- porters, But because he has a mandate. And for the first time the I ople of Ontario are going to see the real John Robarts--the full, 100 per cent John Robarts --In 'acucn.

He did not have the endor- BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO George Hart, retired member of the Board of Directors of the Ontario County Flying Club, was , honored at a banquet at the Oshawa Airport. He was pre- sented with a scroll and life membership in the Club. E. G. Storie, president, was chairman for the occasion and T. K. Creighton KC, delivered a fit- ting address, City Council sold 28 city-owned lots on Oakes street to a local contractor at $350 per lot. As a fitting conclusion to the observance of Army Week in Oshawa, officers and members of the 11th Armored Ontario Regiment, and members of Post 43, Canadian Legion, joined in a drumhead service conducted by Rev. H. D. Cleverdon at the McLaughlin Band Shéll. Alex C. Hall, Crown Attorney for Ontario County, spoke at the Rotary Club luncheon meeting. A contract was let for the new Bell Telephone buijdi i toria and Bond si was appointed to the faculty of the University of Nebraska, Lin- coln, Neb. Business Administrator W. Gordon Bunker announced an extensive summer program of repair work was done to all Osh- awa schools. Community Recreational Asso- ciation Director Ivan Richards announced that the fall program of the CRA was getting under way with the addition of new ectivities. S. Drummond Wolff, noted To- ronto organist, was the guest of the Oshawa Chapter o the Ca- nadian College of Organists, when he gave a lecture recital of English liturgical music at King Stret United Church, Lawrence Savery was appoint- ed principal of King Street Pub- lic School at a meeting of the Board of Education, Assistant Fire Chief Milton R. Oster received a medallion com- memorating the liberation of Mons, Belgium, on Nov. 11, 1918, 30 years after the event. The Oshawa Public' Utilities decided to Call manufacturers into conference to discuss plans for conservation of power. sation of the public, And he had to be on guard so that he wouldn't hurt his chances of gett'ng that endorsation. Also he didn't have the solid backing of his own party. There were those, particularly among the old guard, who didn't agree with him and his methods, He had to show these people and win them--which, of course he now has. Now he is solid, And he can do things completely in his own way. An that way could be quite different from what we have seen in the past. SMARTENED UP First and foremost, probably, we will see the ship here smart- ened up a lot--and some toes stepped on. The Conservatives have been in power for 20 years, and, whether 'scandalous or not, looseness has crept in. There is entrenched privilege that comes with being in power for a long time, extravagance and other impedimenta that come with too much fat, Mr. Robarts knows this and OTTAWA REPORT Other Provinces React To Quebec By PATRICK NICHOLSON -- OTTAWA--The creation of a "liberation" movement in one of our provinces is predictably stirring up a counter-revolution im the other provinces--although violence has not yet been matched against violence. In some sections of Ontario, it is being said that political candidates could once again win election on a straight Orange ticket. But surprisingly the anti-Quebec sentiment has grown even more vigourous where the contact is less, not- ab'y in Alberta. "Let Quebec quit--and the rest of Canada will work together as never be- fore," is the theme of these westernrs, Here in Ottawa, in an urban complex which is about half French-Canadian, there are {re- quent echoes of Quebec's un- reasonable aims. For instance, it 'has been demanded before city council that all street signs should be painted in both French and English, Ottawa's militant mayor, Charlotte Whitton, has count- ered with the simple request: "First 'show me where I am given Statutory authority to spend the taxpayers' money on that." And she might have added: 'Must the people be taxed more to do.the same for 'Little Italy' and Chinatown here too?" FEDERAL UNION URGED One far-sighted proposal per- colating from the west is, that the exit of Quebec from Con- federation should be the signal to create an Atlantic Federal Union between our remaining nine provinces and the 50 states of the Union and Britain That would create at a stroke the most powerful and wealthy eco- nomic unit in the world; it would also leave Quebec as an ind'gestible island of poverty in its midst. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 30, 1963... Canada was elected to the United Nations Security Council for a two-year term 16 years ago today--in 1947 --to fill one of three vacan- cies that would occur at the end of the year. The two- year terms of Australia, Po- land and Brazil were due to expire. The council con- tained 11 nations--the per- manent members, the United States, the Soviet Un- ion, Britain, France and China, and six members elected for two-year terms: 1929--The first BBC tele- vision broadcast took place. 1950--The Canadian dollar was freed to find its own level, a situation that con- tinued for 12 years. has known it all along. Also, of course, he probably knows it is one of the big hazards he has to face, Let it continue and it could bring him and his govern- ment down. Until noow he hasn't been able to do anything about it. But now he can and he will. There will be a tightening up. Next winter after night . ses- sions we may not see a dozen cars that have been waiting four hours to take cabinet min- isters on a 75 cent taxi ride to the Royal York. We may see the end of some of the personal publicity machines that have been built up. In fact, we may see the end of quite a number of things. 80 DAYS OVERSEAS (OCT, Ist -- MAR, Ist) $312.00 ROUND TRIP AT FOUR SEASONS TRAVEL (OSHAWA) PHONE 728-6201 work experience to: GENERAL 78 BOND ST.

OSHAWA THIS SPACE RESERVED FOR IMPERIAL Impressively Light! Impressively Right! IMPERIAL CANADIAN WHISKY by HIRAM WALKER In the opinion of many wise Frnch-Canadians, there is a feeling that Quebec is overplay- ing its hand, But some obsery- ers here are suggesting that there is one easy street along which Quebec might march to attain its ends, without disrupt- ing Confederation and indeed with the active approval and co-operation of the nine other provinces. This would be to call for a comprehensive redrafting : Fad British North America ct, What Quebec seeks is greater autonomy; to be "master in our own house." Other provinces would gladly accept the same," Canada is extravagantly over- governed by the present three- tier structure, comprising one federal government, then 10 pro- vinecial governments, and then innumerable municipal gover- ments. There is a great deal of thwarting overlap in this clumsy structure, which also costs the taxpayer excessive sums for our overlapped bur- eaucracy. NEW STYLE UNION Our constitution is specific- ally defined in the BNA Act as "similar in prnciple to that of GALLUP POLL the obvious components of this general area calling for federal departments--and probably very little else. : "Property and civil rights" is the phrase commonly in- state by a federal government whose business it is not, and which can only apply welfare with the inequitable hand' of na- tion-wide uniformity. - In total or in part, welfare, education, industry, agriculture fisheries, forests, transport, jus- tice, health, mines, culture and other 'ields could be entrusted to provincial control, much on the U.S, pattern. The provincial governments would become more meaningful, and the tax- payer would be saved much of the staggering load of Ottawa. If Quebec were to urge decen- tralization of government for all provinces, instead of self- ishly and blindly seeking liber- ation for itself alone, it might be astonished by the unanimity with which its demands would be backed nstead of bucked by other provinces, Canadians Give Views On Off-Track Betting - y THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Almost four in ten Canadians think off - the - track betting, through bookies, should be legal- ized in this country, as it is in the United Kingdom, Just over four in tendo not want legalized betting, away from race tracks.
