Oshawa Times Published by Canadion Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontarie T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1964---PAGE 6 : Regional Council Could - Answer Planning Needs Readers of these columns would be familiar with the topic discussed by Mrs. Richard Scrivener, speaker at this week's annual Civic Day luncheon sponsored by the Oshawa Rotary Club. Mrs. Scrivener, chair- man ef the Community Planning Association of Canada, emphasized the need for regional planning if Oshawa and neighboring communi- » ties are not to be submerged in a vast urban sprawl. She saw these alternatives to regional planning: Oshawa will be absorbed into the complex of Metro- ' politan Toronto; Oshawa will be smothered by the urban sprawl predicted to reach from Kingston to London and from Lake Ontario north 30 to 50 miles. There is another, more imme- diate possibility, and that is the growth of an urban sprawl with Oshawa itself as its centre -- a repetition of all the 'mistakes which have Metro such a headache. There may not be any urgency in the threat of a super-city stretching from the eastern end of Lake Ontario into Southwestern Ontario; there is a lot of empty space between Oshawa-Bowman- ville and Kingston. But the gap be- tween Oshawa-Whitby and Metro is rapidly filling. And it is governed only by hodgepodge planning. Can the municipalities involved in the growth co-operate to work out a far-sighted master-plan? Possibly. But~the logical solution lies not with a number of munici- palities trying to work together. What is needed, as the former member for Oshawa riding, T. D. Thomas, frequently pointed out, is a revision of the archaic muni- cipal structure in Ontario, to pro- vide for the elections of councils to govern larger areas -- areas which form logical economic and geo- graphic units. But in view of parochial pride, this may be ideal- istic, Pushing Export Sales Some harsh words have been directed recently at Canadian manu- facturers for failing to sell more energetically in foreign markets. This sort. of blanket condemnation is absurd, in the light of trade figures over a period of several months. Some manufacturers may be lagging, but obviously there are many others who pressing highly successful sales campaigns in other countries. They must be -- the value of Canada's export of end products jumped by well over $300 million between 1960 and the third quarter of 1963. One of the encouraging features of the export drive is that Canadian firms are selling abroad such com- plex and sophisticated products as electronic communications equip- ment and industrial machinery. Another important aspect is a deep- ening penetration of the U.S. market -- the one above all others where we need to boost sales to offset massive imports. 4 It is not salesmanship alone, of course, which has brought about this improvement. The best sales- man in the world can do little if his product is not competitive in price and quality. Two fairly recent developments have given the exporters a big boost. One was the revaluation of the Canadian dollar in May, 1962. This radically improved our com- petitive position abroad compared with the years when we labored under the burden of a heavy premium on the dollar. The other has been the distinct narrowing in the gap between our prices and those of many of our foreign com- petitors; European costs in parti- cular have been rising more steeply than our own, as a result of a number of 'cost 'factors. Energetic Canadian manufactur- ers have been taking full advantage of these developments, and their efforts are reflected in the economy. Danger Of Explosion Jane's Fighting Ships is generally accepted as the most authoritative published report on the composition and comparative strengths of the world's naval forces. Its lists 44 new navies which have come. into existence since the end of the Second World War, and this has led the editor, Raymond V. Blackwell, to express the fear that the spark of a third world war could be struck by a prideful but small or rising nation. Most of the navies are negligible forces, by great-power standards, but Mr. Blackwell points out that it takes only one shell or torpedo to strike a spark. In the explosive South China Sea area, the two Chinas, Indonesia, Malaysia, the two Koreas, the two Viet Nams and Thailand all have navies of a kind --and British and American war- ships also prowl there. Many of the new nations feel they must have all the trappings of nationalistic pride, but they lack experience in international! affairs She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

The possibility of dimi- nishing it seems remote. Even a small and new nation can hardly be denied the right of defending itself or of maintaining armed forces. Yet as nations multiply, the possibility of a clash becomes greater. More conflicting interests are created. The obvious solution would a strong United Nations police force, the Sun argues. Coupled with UN' mediation of disputes or recourse to the World Court, a small nation could be re- lieved of the necessity of maintain- ing forces other than those needed for internal security. It could de- vote to its own welfare the resour- ces which otherwise would be wasted on non-productive arma- ments. Perhaps this solution is too obvious. Except in isolated emer- gencies it has not been tried, and then the action was improvised and temporary. But with lessening of cold war tension between the great powers, and with rising sen- timent in fovar of a permanent UN force among such lesser nations as Canada and the Scandinavian countries, the time may be at hand to attempt. it. be Bible Thought If ye bite and devour one another take heed that we be not consumed of one another. -- Galatians 5:15.

Mcintyre Hood Special London (Eng.) Correspondent To The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Every day, on my way to and from my office in Thomson House, Gray's Inn road, 1 leave the underground railway at King's Cross Station. For the last two or three month I have been taking note of a great transformation which has been going on in front of the YOUR HEALTH entrance to that massive station. The station was built in 1852. At that time, it was a monu- ment to Victorian architecture. The people of that time were able to see and admire this huge yellow-brick structure, with its twiti-arched front, its towers at each corner and its weather- vane For as long as I can remem- ber London, however, that im- posing facade has been hidden from the public gaze. In front Boy Holds Breath When Upset, Hurt By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: When my five-year-old son is particularly upset or hurt, he cries until his breath leaves him and he passes out. This has been a problem since he was 14 months old, It doesn't happen often but it con- cerns me. I don't think it is a bid for attention since he has fallen down and done the same thing while playing alone--Mrs. IC, Breath-holding is not an un- usual method youngsters use to express their displeasure, Vio- lent crying can precede breath- holding The temporary cessation of breathing causes unconscious- ness---and as soon-as that oc- curs, the child relaxes, his auto- matic reflexes. take command again, and the brief uncon- sciousness ends with the first breath Such attacks usually occur in the first couple of years, and not often after five. One would suspect there is some violent emotional factor in the background, maybe an over- active. sense of frustration, a hidden. fear of something, or the expression of extreme temper I don't know, but these are po3- sibilities and you may want to keep this in mind and perhaps have some psychiatric guidance if. matters persist. That is to Say, pain from a fall or what- ever may trigger some pent-up emotional pressures within the child Meantime, here's something to investigate. A recent report discloses .that 25 per cent. of children with breath - hold:ng spells were found to have an- emia. This would intensify the lack of oxygen reaching the brain and thus make uncoa- sciousness come hat much sooner. You might have your doctor check for this, just in DEALER case. A calcium deficiency may also be present. Children tend to outgrow breath-holding in time, but cor- rection of anemia and-or cal- cium deficiency, if present, may hasten the improvement. Dear Dr. Molner: How can I get rid of fat tummy and big butt? I am 73, weigh 150, and am. 5 feet 6--Mrs. B. B. Madam, I admire your direct- ness if not your figure, At 73, and 150 pounds you aren't going to change very much, but if you shed a few pounds, you can be rather sure that they will come off your fat tummy and your oversized what was your word? Lose a few pounds and you'll feel (and look) better, but don't expect any miracles. Dear Dr. Moiner: How can androgen, the male sex hor- mone, be pbtained? Please prove to & 17-year-old that this drug will develop him sexually. --S.G.S. Son, you're all mixed up. First androgen (along with other im- portant hormones, not to men- tion a great many other medi- cines) can't be obtained except by prescription--meaning an or- der from a doctor who has ex- amined you and will take the re- sponsibility of saying in writing that this is what you need. Second, I can't "prove" that androgen will develop you "sex- ually," because I don't know what ails you. If medical care svere that easy, our problems would be simpler. The hard part is diagnosis--finding out what your problem really is, So go to a responsible physician, describe your troubles, let him tell you what to do, Dear Dr. Molner: My womb and appendix were removed. Am I supposed to menstruate ever again? When?--L. M. No, not after removal of the uterus.

In these little shops, only a few feet deep, one could buy cups of tea. aspirins, stationery, stamps even a pair of socks or a tie, and so on. They were «aceting the im- mediate needs of travellers who had, perhaps, packed too hastily and left some vital articles at home. ALL SWEPT AWAY In the past two or three months I have watched these small, and unsightly shops dis- appear. Bulldozers and cranes have moved on to the site Mechanical drills have torn masonary apart. There has been a constant roar'and din of all the processes of demolition as these old buildings have been torn down to make way for an underground railway _ station which will serye the new Victor- ia tube line now under construc- tion. One of the worth-while resu'ts of this demolition process is that for the first time in some 8 years, Londoners and visitors can once again have a clear view of the handsome facade of King's Cross Station, That is how long it is since commercia'- ism took precedence over archi- tecture, and these small stores were built to blot out the un- trammelled view of the station front from the public eye. NEEDS FACE-WASH Even with the piles of rubbish still lying wheré the stores used to be, it is. possible to view, from the other side of the street, the whole of the artistic entrance to the station. But even so, it is not as it was when the early Victorians admired it back lll years ago. The old station now has a very dirty face to present to the public. Its brick- work is now black with the soot and grime of decades. There are pieces flaking off its imposing arches, Its metal pillars have become encrusted with rust. Old St, Paul's Cathedral, the King's Cross Station, now it has been revealed to full public view, is badly in need of a face-washing and painting-up operation, which will, in due course, be under- taken. This old station, which was orginally the terminus of the old Great Northern Railway, may see even greater changes in the near future, It is scheduled for a major remodelling job. But, now that we can see the mag- nificence of the old Victorian facade, one might wish that in the job of remodelling, this facade be left untouched, except for the face-washing which is very badly needed to restore it to its yellow-brick Victorian beauty. OTTAWA REPORT Parliament Back To Blind Pigging By PATRICK NICHULSON OTTAWA --. Well, it will be 'back to the old blind pig" for our MPs when Parliament re- assembles next month. For a few brief happy weeks, a far-sighted arrangement per- mitted the parliamentary cafe- teria to stock liquor by the bottle for the convenience of senators and MPs. This was bought from the stores operated by the Ontario Liquor Control Board and sold as required at cost plus' a service charge of 25 cents, But old eagle-eyes, Canada's auditor-general, spotted this in- formal arrangement. What funds were being used to finance the stock? he wanted to know. Were public funds, earmarked for the purchase of coffee, hamburgers and similar cafeteria items, be- ing misapplied to the purchase of scotch whisky? asked Scot- tish Max Henderson, our audi- tor-general. So the cafeteria has reverted to its previous status as what we used to call during the war "a dry canteen," TAKE LOW ROAD Now MPs will be forced back to the previous undesirable choice of taking the high road or the low road 'to the bottle. They can either order a parha- mentary messenger to go to the nearest liquor store to buy thein a bottle, or they can frequent the blind pig which some long-' ago timid Speaker forced upon the Parliamentary Press Gal- lery. We inky - fingered scriveners are commonly supposed to be inveterate soaks, so presumably it does not harm our reputation to have a couple of rooms plus a passage in the Press Gallery premises piled high with cartons of bottles and cluttered with dis- pensers of iced bottles. Thus no doubt reasoned that long-ago speaker, who did not want our fine abstemious MPs to have an overt bar or an il- licit blind pig in their section of the building. But it does make it harder to work in the Press Gallery when, morning, afternoon and 'READERS' VIEWS COVERAGE Dear Sir: I cannot let the coverage of Monsignor's illness, death, wake and funeral, in your paper, pass without comment. The repeated reports on Mon- signor's condition, while he was in the hospital; was appreciated by his parishioners and also by the hundreds of friends he had in the. district. The thorough coverage of his illness and di has been noted by many from town and from other districts. It was a great tribute to Mon- signor Coffey, and it was much appreciated. (REV.) M. A. BERIAULT. Holy Cross Church evening, the place is cluttered up with MPs, civil servants, building employees and outsid- ers flocking around t buy liquor by the glass; and often the passages are obstructed by the whole-time saleman allo- cated to service this blind pig, trundling his cartoned wares on a huge freight trolley. SHOCKING! One former speaker once ex- plored this illicit blind pig. He was shocked by what he saw, and said so loudly, 'Well, Mr. Speaker, I know you are a tee-- totaller yourself, and this must shock you; but it's a great con- venience for the members," ex- plained the sergeant - at - arms who was accompanying the dig- nitary on his tour of inspection. QUEEN'S PARK "Oh, H's not al the botties that shock me," retorted the speaker, 'It's all those cork- roaches," And the sergeant-al- arms was instructed to declare war. The next day, armed with a spray gun, he moved in. And of the corpses which were swept up, no fewer than 275 victims were counted, This was re- peated for 30 days before the blind pig was cleared of insects, The mice, of course, remained, and produced their biblical in- crease. The funny thing about this whole exercise in concealment is that MPs have been paying much more than they need for their liquor for years, If they were to set up an authorized bar, they could get their liquor on this Crown land at diploma- tic prices--about $1 a bottle, That is the opinion of one ex- pert in this field who has been studying the problem. Meanwhile> Canada is one of the few countries in the world which has an officially "dry" Parliament. And Parliament Hill, is the site of the Queen's only blind pig, operated on Crown land, } Flash Bulbs Can Blind Ministers BY DON O'HEARN TORON .O--The 1964 silly sea- son is open. I've just been looking at the 18 faces of Charley MacNaugh- ton. The faces are in the house organ of Mr, MacNaughton's Highways Department, DHO News. They show Mr. MacNaughton presenting. quarter-century pins. They show him front face and up face, down face and side face (always the right side. Charlie must think that's his best). It's nostalgic. It takes 'ne back to the days of Hydro News and James Dun- can, The News used to manage to get a picture of Mr. Duncan on practically every page. One wouldn't say the shutter euiched too often--but Mr. Dun- can has gone. Take a caution Charlie. Don't let those flash bulbs blind you. WRONG SIDE Then there's the case of Allan Lawrence, a young man on the wrong side of the bed. Mr. Lawrence is made to be an opposition member. He would be a dandy. He's bright, able, hard-working, and with a defin- ite flair for politics, But he's wilting on the gov- ernment side as the PC member for Toronto St. George. This irks too much at times. Before the election campaign Mr. Lawrence wrote a silly letter to reporters asking them to point out that he got credit for exposing second mortgage loan sharks, : Now he's done it again.
