SRE SE: 5° ae OTTAWA REPORT ~ Election Promise Takes Tax Mon By PATRICK NICHOLSON -- - Published 'by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario - T. L, Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1964--PAGE 6 Investigation Ordered Into Used-Car Business A special Ontario-wide investiga- tion of the used-car business has Been ordered by Attorney-General Fred Cass, and this should be wel- @omed by all except the racketeers business. That such an in- Westigation has been needed has 'Been amply demonstrated by evi- Wence already made public. It is 'unfortunate, however, that the On- 'tario government continties to give 'the impression that it must be prodded and jabbed into taking action in matters such as this. ~ Mr. Cass rejected a request for im investigation of the used-car ess by the Legislature's select ittee on consumer credit. The 'committee made the request after the Federation of Automobile In- gependent Retailers presented a (brief stating that the used-car field 'was full of chicanery and fraud. The reluctance of Mr. Cass to order an investigation, and his subsequent capitulation to demands for it, are curiously reminiscent of his pred r's attitude towards demands for an investigation of organized crime in Ontario. We hope, however, that the inquiry into the car. business will be more reassuring than that into organized crime. It will be recalled that the crime inquiry indicated that there really was no syndicated hoodlumism, on the American pattern, in the pro- vince. But then the testimony of Joseph Vallachi about the Mafia's penetration of Ontario, And still later, 'there were disturbing reports about the frustration of the On- tario Police Commission, It would seem that Mr. Cass has a job-to do to convince the people of Ontario that the fight against racketeering in the province is being directed energetically from the top. Doubts About Deficits 'A federal deficit in the current year is inevitable, but there seems to be some confusion in the cabinet as to whether this is a matter of choice or a matter of the times, eommentator C. J. Harris believes. ' In his budget speech of last June, Finance Minister Gordon firmly de- dared the government's intention @f moving toward a balanced bud- get. "A restoration of confidence ih our country," he said at that time, "is a necessary prerequisite tp business expansion and the crea- tion of more jobs. Confidence is got something one can count on or measure. It is a state of mind. It is psychological in character. And its recovery might well be shattered if we failed to take clear and positive steps toward some re- duction in present budgetary de- ficits." : te? In June the government's policy eeemed clear enough. But in De- eember it seemed somewhat less firm. At a meeting of several ca- binet members with a delegation of 250 trades union officials, who pre- sented the annual brief of the Canadian Labor Congress, the gov- ernment was urged to follow a policy of deficit financing in order "to create employment and improve living standards." To this advice the Prime Minister made an in- teresting reply: "We accept deficit financing providing it does what it was intended to do -- put people to work." The following day Prime Minis- ter Pearson issued a statement to correct what he said was a misin- terpretation of his comment. "The minister of finance," said Mr. Pear- son, "has not hesitated to support expenditures for necessary social and economic purposes, in_parti- cular for the reduction of unem- ployment, In following these poli- cies, the minister of finance has, and will continue to have, the full support of the Prime Minister." There is no genera] support for the theory that planned deficits would raise living standards and create a lot of new employment, At this time, what specific projects would create how much employment for what specific groups? That question would be very difficult to » answer' and, in fact, it would be extremely difficult to prove that the deficit financing of the. past five years had much 'femedial effect on the rate of unemploy- ment, Mr. Harris says. Also, be- cause of the subsequent and con- tinuing cost, it would be difficult to prove that these deficits have improved living standards. Last year the federal government's debt charges came to $917,800,000, com- pared to $534,100,000 for the 1957. fiscal year. After paying that ad- ditional tax bill the individual must have less to spend or save, and industry must have less to invest in expansion. Some Shorter Steps Late in 1968 the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Adlai Steven- son, reneved the American offer to Russia for a joint expedition to the moon. Not expecting any warmer response than was given the original offer, he. added: "If giant steps eannot be taken at once, we hope that shorter ones can." Actually, the United States and the Soviet Union are involved in many "shorter" steps, the Mil- waukee Journal points out. An example is the declaration of prin- ciples for the exploration of space, which has been agreed to by the two powers after an early dead- lock and placed before the UN as- sembiy.

Last month the number of radio frequency bands to be set aside for communications satellite systems was agreed to. Both nations are participating in the international expedition now 'under way to study the Indian ocean. They will participate in the Years of the Quiet Sun, the study of solar phenomena and related matters scheduled for 1964-'65. American scientists will wiftter at Soviet stations in Antarctica next year; Russian scientists will be at American bases. : There have been exchanges of Americans and Russians in the basic sciences, atomic energy, and public health and medical science. Tt would be misleading to imply that Soviet-American scientific co- operation is free and open. It would be ridiculous to suggest that cos- monaut and astronaut will sdon share the same space capsule. Nevertheless, it is_a hopeful sign that many of the shorter steps Stevenson spoke of as a possibility are an actual fact. . PLR EIN ST REPORT FROM U.K. Hovercraft Tale Of Co-Operation By M, McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times COWES, Isie of Wight -- The development of the Hovercraft from the simple model built from the invention of Chnis- topher Cockerel in 1058 is a striking illustration of the value of co-operation between govern- ment and industry in the field of scientific research. It took some years for Mr. Cockere] to convince the British ministry of supply that he had struck on a new and practical principle in transportation, but once the officials and minister were convinced, it marked the beginning of a remarkable story. T learned of this story while visiting the laboratories and re- search establishment of Hover- craft Development, Limited, near Southampton, along with journalists from other Common- wealth countries. After Mr, Cockerel had "'sold" YOUR HEALTH his invention to the British min- istry of supply, in 1958, the Na- tional Research Development Corporation took over the proj- ect. With the eventual object of forming a British Hovercraft in- dustry, the NRDC ordered an experimental Hovercraft from Saunders-Roe Limited, in the fall of 1958. In January, 1959, Hovercraft Development, Ltd., a subsidiany was formed and through it the NRDC has shared the cost of building most of the first and second generation of Hovercraft, q All the Hovercraft patents are owned by. Hovercraft Develop. ment, Ltd, and through these, and the facilities offered by its research group, four firms now hold licence agreements to man- ufactute and sell commercial Hovercraft, Limited and West- land Aircraft, Limited (Saun- ders-Roe Division), A more recent development is the announcement that Board of Trade ftnancing will be avail- Definite Purpose . For All Surgery By Joseph G, Molner, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Why do doctors never complete a hys terectomy the first time, or by a single operation? Why do they leave just one ovary when everything else is taken out, or Yeave the uterus when the ovar- ies are removyed, etc, when probably thre will be another operation later? I know of sev- eral cases, including my own I don't know why I am writ- ing this, but I got it off my chest anyway.--K,. B. Well, it makes you fyell better to get things off your chest, at that, First of all, I'm sure you know that it isn't true that doc tors never perform a complete hysterectomy. Often they do. Ovaries, if healthy, are left because they serve a useful pur- pose. They secrete hormcnes which, in concert with those from other endoorine glands, regulate the body's activity in many ways. When, at meno- pause, the ovaries cease provid- ing these hormones, the result is a group of symp- toms which we call the "change of Hfe"--hot flashes, nerves, menstrual inreguiarity and fi- nally cessation. After a time the other endoc- rine glands and the body be- come adjusted. By leaving the ovaries, we postpone this prob- lem until the normal time for it. Where, because of disease, the ovaries are removed, there is no point in removing the uterus, too, just because k hap pens to be there. If it is healthy nothing is gained thereby. True, some subsequent troub'e may-- or may not--develop. If it does, then is the time for surgery Ypu don't remove it or anything else, just on the long. gamble oon something might ail it An established principle of medicine is to do nothing that might harm the body except when it is the lesser of two evs, You don't perform sur- gery just for the sake of sur- gery. You perform it only because it can alleviate-some greater troubie. In fact--and I wish more peo- pe realized this--the practice in every well-run: hospital is to have a "tissue committee." After every operation, re- moved tissue is examined by pathologists and other special- ists, to determine in what way it was diseased or whether it needed removal. It is unavoidable, occasion- ally, that healthy tissue is re- moved. Medicine is a science and art but it does not pretend to be infallible. But let a surgeon be found removing. healthy tissue. too often, and he has some search- ing questions that he must an- swer. And if it continues to happen, he presently finds him- self off the staff, This behind-thescenes work of the "tissue committee" is, you see, for the protection of all of us--a safeguard agacnst unnecessary surgery or careless diagnosis. BY-GONE DAYS 'HIGHLY STRUNG LOT, AREN' T THEY 2?" able to assist operating com- panies to speed u pthe inaugura- tion of commercial services, The Hovercraft Development, Limited role is that of both short and long-term research and development. Its research fecll'ties and findings are equal- ly at the disposal of the four manufacturing firms now build- ing Hovercraft under Hcence. When any one of them is con- fronted with a special problem, the technical group made up of scientists of all four companies sit in on the study of it and they actually hel r to a solution of their problems, All four companies have made great strides in bringing the Hovercraft to the point of being commercially vieble, and play- ing an important part in the transportation systems of back- ward countries. On the wall of the board room hangs a map of the world show- ing potential routes which could be operated by Hovercraft, Can- ada is well pin-pointed on this map, One route marked out links Vancouver with Vancouver Island, Some others would pro- vide transport inks into the dis- tant north!ands of Western Can- eda, And some points on the Great Lakes are noted as hav- ing possibilities for hovercraft travel. So the work at this research establishment in the south of England might yet havea pro- found effect on transportation in some areas of Canada, A step in this direction is seen in the dec'ston of the Westland company to set up a sales or. ganization in Canada, Stuart Miller, Westland's North Ameri- can representative, will be in charge; aided by an expert in Hovercraft matters from Eng- land, They will be located in Ottawa.

More than 1,300 people at- tended the Firemen's Ball held in the Armories and the Winter Gardens on New Year's Eve. The @nual meeting of the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Legion was postponed a week to allow members to attend the city election mecting. An elpvator was instalied in the Post Office which greatly facilitated the handling of mail. King Street United Church de- cided to elect a session and a board of managers in accord with the constitution of United Church of Canada. Ald. A. Crawford and L. V. Disney, both of whom were al- @ermanic candidates, were ill with the flu and were unable to make the rounds to visit elec tors. Board of Education decided te 'defer opening of city schools a week due to the flu epidemic. The Oshawa employees of the Canada Bread Co. were enter- vot tained at an oyster supper at the home of the manager, H. F. Lee, Mary street. Communicable diseases were few in December with one of whooping cough ,three let fever and three resulting in one death; 1,078 eculations were given in schools. The Oshawa 'Daily Times print- ed an "election 'night extra" to announce that T: B. Mitchell had defeated Ald. D. A. J, Swanson as mayor for 1929, Major R. B.

After a couple of days of free- dom, the Russian troops ad- vanced and they wanted to arrest him again. His followers took him to the American Em- dassy In Budapest where he found refuge. It-ts easy to lead a flock in peacetime, but when trying days are coming, the shepherd his of the flock has to be ready to defend his fellow citizens against tyranny, and the character of the leader must be of steel. The Cardinal earned the title of "The Steel Cardinal". We can right- fully call him "The Champion of Freedom". Let us take a look back and we will understand him better, 1944 -- Hungary was occupied in the military sense by the Germans, Deportation became a@ common affair. The Bishop of Veszprem (before he became Cardinal) Joseph Mindzenty saved many victims, Hungar- jans and Jews, regardless of race or religion, from deportay tion, Because of this, he was ar- rested and interned, 1945 The Soviet troops ecenpiet Hungary. The Soviet forces robbed, plundered, raped and murder. ed. This terror was overlooked by the new leaders who received their training In Moscow. There was no security, no order and no law. Not less thas800,000 Hungarians, men, women and children aged 10 to 70, were carried off as 'Prisoners of War" to Russia, At this time Mindszenty was appointed Archbishop mate of Hungary, The friehte: nation waited for help. Then Mindszenty spoke up: "It is enough! Innocent peo- ple are being killed, deported, terned and deprived of their possessions as if there were no Ten Commandments. Here are the shining human rights. What have we done to cast our fear and misery? Have we held in leash the volcano of hatred and revenge?"
