She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, MARCH 16, 1964--PAGE 6 Republican Candidates Lose Face In Primary Despite the almost hysterical coverage given by American TV net- works, the New Hampshire presi- dential primary was not particularly significant. New Hampshire is cer- tainly not typical of the United States; it is largely rural, dedicated to its traditions, has no large cities, has only a tiny Negro population, is not directly involved in the great civil rights issue, and has no large amount of industry. The New Hampshire people gave their votes largely to a fine New England name -- Henry Cabot Lodge. That does not make Mr. Lodge a favorite for the Republican nomination. But the announced can- didates, Senator Goldwater and Governor Rockefeller, were given a lot of food for thought. As Walter Lippman noted, each vote for Lodge would be "a reflection on the can- didates' who have been making speeches a dozen times a day." The Goldwater and Rockefeller campaigns, however, were pitiful. The Milwaukee Journal saw them this way: "There is a certain poetic justice in the New Hampshire outcome, The candidates who did the major campaigning made a miserable. job of it. They discussed no real issues. Rockefeller proved his ability to slide down fire station poles, climb ladders to shake hands at factory windows, yell 'hiya fella', and eat everything in sight. These are highly improbable activities for a man of great wealth and experience, Goldwater alternately shook hands and scowled at voters, and gave forth with strange panaceas which somehow seem to have little cone nection with the world of 1964. Neither gave the voters credit for being capable of intellectual judg- ments," Now Rockefeller and Goldwater go off to the California primary, a more important test than that in New Hampshire. Senator Gold- water may learn there, too, that his support declines in direct ratio to the amount of talking he does. And Gov. Rockefeller may confirm the suspicion that he hasn't caugh much of anyone's fancy outside his campaign headquarters. Deceiving Statistics Samuel Johnson once observed that "round numbers are always false." It might also be said that all generalizations are false, but the redoubtable Dr. Johnson would un- doubtedly repeat his. remark were he alive today. For we are in an age of statistics -- and statistics are notoriously untrustworthy un- less used with extreme care. In the Commons the other day, for example, T. C. Douglas. de- clared that two-fifths of all Cana- dians "are living either on or below the borderline of poverty," and offered as evidence these statistics: Of the 6.5 million persons reported to be in the labor force by the 1961 census, two million did not earn enough to pay income tax, and of the 4.5 million who did pay tax, 34 per cent earned less than $3,000 a year. It may be that 40 per cent of all Canadians -- or between seven and eight million people -- are poverty-stricken, although we doubt it. And Mr. Douglas's figures cer- tainly do not prove it. The 1961 census, for example, reported 480,- 000 farm operators, only 75,000 of whom paid income tax. The re- mainder may or may not have been poverty-stricken, but interestingly enough, the highest percentage of farm taxpayers was found in Sas- katchewan -- and there, of course, the income of individual farmers are very easily checked through Wheat Board payments. In addition, the 1961 labor force included 520,000 persons in the 15-19 years age group, and 879,000 married women. It would be rash indeed to claim that because many of these persons did not pay income tax they lived in dire want, just as it would be to claim that all those who declared taxable incomes of $3,000 were on or below the border- line of poverty. Our effort must always be to abolish poverty, but we'll never ac- complish that great task by con- fusing the problem with the injec- | tion of misleading statistics. We can acquire enough evidence of poverty without resorting to such dubious tactics, which only interfere with the necessary job of defining the areas of weakness in our society, New Parkinson Law Professor C. Northcote Parkin- son is at it again. He has invented -- or discovered, or enunciated -- a new law. A one-time teacher of history, Prof. Parkinson has gain- ed his own niche in history as either an economist with a sense of humor, or a humorist with a sense of economics. Parkinson's first law concerned work. During the second World War, he has explained, he was a British army major assisting at a combined services headquarters in England that was so secret he never did discover what it was for. "Paper flowed onto our desks," he says, "and we worked on from day to day until the day when the Air Vice-Marshall' was called away to what I think one might describe as She Oshawa Fimes T, L.

Shortly afterwards the Colonel went on leave. The work dropped to 50 per cent. After that the Wing Com- mander fell sick. I was in com- mand -- not the disaster you might ' guppose; but I noticed, then, that the work had dwindled to a point where I could deal with it in about an hour after breakfast." Out of that experience came Parkinson's Law, oddly enough first published by the London Economist; Work expands to fill the time available for its conclusion. "That article had a_ certain amount of success," the Professor add; "which encouraged me to go further into my studies in adminis- tration." The result was a law con- cerning money. In this second dic- tum the Professor had govern- ment in mind, but individual ex- perience confirms it as a universal truth: Expenditure rises to meet income. Now, the New York Times re- ports, Professor Parkinson has come out with a new law, and em- broiled himself in British party politics. The Professor, apparently, has not had time to pare his pre- cept down to a few words but the gist of it is that nationalized in- dustries have a built-in tendency toward bankruptcy because the more an industry is identified with government the less chance it has to economize on wages and salaries. PicASSO HAD A VERY LIBERAL ATTITUDE ..-.- ----" MRS, LESTER, PEARSON AT THE SPENING OF "THE MONTREAL PICASSO EXHIBITION A PICASSO LOOK AT OTTAWA REPORT FROM U.K. Student Holidays Being Organized By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- British school au- thorities are more and more giving special attention to how school children spend their sum- mer holidays. In recent years, many thousands of children have annually gone on tours to continental countries, arranged by their school principals, and teachers, who have gone along with them in charge of the parties. This has made their holidays not only a time for pleasant outings, but also a means of making educational progress through travelling in other countries. One new and interesting proj- ect is seen in the arrangements being made whereby more than 70 children from a_ southeast London school will spend their summer holidays camping in the grounds of a Victorian hunting lodge in the wilds of Argyll- shire, Scotland. And one of the * features of their holiday will be to help make the lodge more habitable for future school chil- dren. MASTER'S IDEA Promoting and organizing this scheme and originator of the idea is a young Woolwich schoolmaster, 25-year-old Don- ald Naismith. Last year he was given the task of onganizing extra-mural activities at Crown Woods Comprehensive school, where he teaches at Eltham He looked for ways to inter- est the voung people who were not keen on organizations. He has nothing against organiza- tions, he stresses, and has in- deed heiped to form two cadet force companies, But he _ be- lieves that there are many chil- dren who are not organization- minded, and it was to help them that he. started this activity, which has now grown far be- yond the bounds of a_ school project. Mr. Naismith has formed a trust and registered it as a charity with an objective of $60,000. Already $6,000 has been raised, and the Trust has bought the Victorian hunting lodge at Inverliever in Scotland for $300. Reason for the low price was that the lodge be- longed to the Forestry Commis- sion, which was making no use GALLUP POLL of it, and which was willing to sell it to the trust for a nominal figure. USE OF LEISURE Walking in the grounds of his school at Eltham, Mr. Naismith forecast that the school-leaving age would gradually rise to 18 for all children. He believes it to be vitally necessary to solve the problem of teaching these children and showing them how to use their leisure time prop- erly. YOUR HEALTH While this year's holiday in the Lodge ground in Scotland will be camping holiday, it is hoped that the lodge itself will be in condition to be used next year, and it wlil be thrown open to school and organizations all over Britain. Two other com- prehensive schools have already agreed to join with Mr. Nai- smith's school in using the lodge. The special feature of the lodge as a holiday centre is that the school children will be allowed to work out exactly what they want to do for them- selves. Patron of the Trust which is managing this ambitious project is Lord Morris of Kenwood. Members of the Woolich Council as well as teachers from schoolg in the Woolwich area are on the Board of Trustees. Selecting Doctor In New Locality By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My wife (she is 66 years old) and I (77) expect to move to another city. Can you advise us on the proper procedure in selecting a family physician there?--A F G You are one in a thousand, my friend, because so many people don't think about select- ing a doctor until there's an emergency. Ask your present physician to recommend someone in the new city, or else to refer you di- rectly. Your religion mav or may not be a consideration. If it is, you will doubtless want to go to a man who practices in a hos- pital of your faith. (Not that this matters, so far as your care is concerned.) If you have any chronic prob- lem that needs watching, your doctor may know, or be able to discover for you, a specialist there, He may know a surgeon or ear-nose-throat specialist or even a pathologist (the patholo- gists know who is who in their community!) who can advise you or recommend someone who will suit your needs, If none of these ideas fits and you have to move "cold," you can always learn from friends and neighbors which hospitals are the major ones, I assume that you will have friends in the new city--you aren't going Dissatisfaction Found | About Moral Standards y THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) More Canadians are dissatis- fied with the honesty and stand- ards of behaviour of people in this country, than are satisfied with them. In this mood they reflect much the same attitudes as the people of Denmark, France and Britain. In only two countries surveyed in an 8- nation Gallup Poll are the pub- lic really pleased with them- selves. -- Norway and Switzer- land, Most worried about them- selves are the men and women of America and West Germany. The following question was asked in each country by affili- ated Gallup Polls: "On the whole would you say that you are satisfied or dissat- isfied 'with the: honesty and standards of behaviour of peo- ple in this country today?" ' Dissatis. fied 717% 23% 64 36 49 51 48 52 47 53 47 53 37 63 35 65 Satis- fied Norway .«.ece. Switzerland .. CANADA Denmark France Britain US, 00 W. Germany .. The results are based on the views of those who expressed a definite opinion, with the "no opinion" vote excluded. The "no opinion' vote varies from 8 per cent in the U.S. to 27 per cent in France. Among Canadians 15 per cent have no opinion to give. Men are in- clined to be more lenient than women in judging the 'moral lag" of their countrymen. Among men, the dissatisfied ranks are 10 per cent lower among women, to a completely strange place. Then write or phone the admin- istrator of one of these hos- pitals, and he will gladly sug- gest two or three doctors from his staff, so you can choose one in your neighborhood-to-be. If, at worst, you can't get any guidance now, you can always write or phone the county med- ical society in your new area or ask the health department. Once established, have your new doctor send for copies of your medical records. Dear Dr. Molner: What is a caruncle and can it be cured by surgery?--MRS. D L H A caruncle (not to be con- fused with a carbuncle) is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor which bleeds easily and may be very tender. It is more likely to occur in women around men- opause age. Yes, it can be re- moved surgically, and some- 'times by an electric needle. Nothing to make you worried, however. Dear Dr. Molner: Is it true that enlarged breasts on a young man can be corrected by surgery? What would the oper- ation cost? Where could I find the proper surgeon? I am 23 and due to much teasing I have developed a pretty serious com- plex. Please don't print my name.-- S, E. : Okay, I'll even give you some new initials. Yes, when this con- dition is resulting in an emo- tional complex, it i. possible to correct it by plastic surgery in many cases, Most, I wou'd say. As to cost, and where to find the plastic surgeon, go to your regular physician, and ask him to refer you, or call the county medical society for names of plastic surgeons. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 16, 1964... Hitler announced 29 years ago today -- in 1935 -- that Germany was returning to compulsory military con- scription with the aim of creating a peacetime army of 35 divisions. This consti- tuted an open repudiation of the Versailles treaty, but all the other powers did was protest. 1938--Former vice - chan- cellor Emil Fey killed him- self and his family as a wave of suicides swept Aus- tria in the wake of Ger-' many's takeover. 1939--A German _protec- torate was established in Slovakia. OTTAWA REPORT Provincial Plans Backed By Survey PATRICK NICHULSON 'AWA -- The CTV televi- sion public affairs program, Telepoll, has contributed a very significant straw in the gale howling around the federal gov- ernment's pension plan, Public opinion in -Ottawa, Telepoll reports, tops that of the other nine major population areas in believing that such pension plan should be operated by provincial govern ments, rather than by the federal- gov- ernment, Some 38.6 per cent of Otta- wans favor provincial plans over a federal plan. : In vivid and interesting con- trast was the public opinion measured in Montreal, the only sampled community in the province of Quebec. Montreal- ers are less in favor of a pro- vincial plan than the inhabi- tants of any of the other nine sampled areas; yet Quebec is the one province which has in- sisted upon its right to contract out of the proposed federal pen- sion plan. These two results offer am- munition to the many critics of the present Ottawa proposals for a federal plan. CANADA'S TWO CLASSES This column has previously expressed vigorous disagree- ment with two points about the federal plan. The most dis- quieting is its "pay as you go" feature, rather than the crea- tion of a big pension fund; we desperately need to create more Canadian capital for investment in Canadian enterprises, and pension funds should be care- fully nurtured for this purpose. The second unattractive point is the federal government's rec- ognition that there are two classes of Canadians; those who may collectively contract out of the federal plan--namely all Quebeckers -- and those who willy-nilly must join in it-- namely all other Canadians. I am among those who prefer the Robarts formula, and as an On- tarian I would like the same rights as any Quebecker; namely to contract out of the federal plan and share in the more attractive benefits of a provincial plan. BETTER MAIL SERVICE The newly-appointed postmas- ter - genera] may be hitting us with a 20 p.r cent increase in the cost of mailing a letter toa local address, but he is deter- mined that his post office shall give us the best possible serv- ice. Hon. Jack Nicholson tells me that he will spend Parlia- ment's Easter recess in Japan, studying improvements in letter sorting and. haudling. "Tokyo has faced postal prob- lems unique in the world," he told me. "Just imagine, okyo has doubled its poulation in the past 15 years and now, with 12,000,000 residents, has the largest population of any city." While in Japan, Mr. Nichol- son and his wife will be guests of the Japanese government. From the British post office comes news which will interest QUEEN'S PARK all philatelists.

Busy Legislature Not Distinguished BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--What's been hap- pening here? Really not too much this year. The house will wind up with a burst of heavy business. But for the most part the ses- sion will rank as undistin- guished. Actually it has been some- thing of a shake-down cruise. There are a great many new members, all feeling their way. And then there has been an opposition which appears to be catching its breath--after hav- ing given an all-out effort in the last two pre-election years. This has meant that while business has been done there has been an absence of fire. There was some talk during estimates about possible dis- BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO March Al Morrison's Oshawa rink with Bud Moore, Bill Toms and Bill Wirsching as members, cap- tured the Ontario Junior Tank- ard event, the Thomas Rennie Trophy, for the third consecu- tive year. Arrangement was made by Dr. A. F. MacKay, MOH, that @ mental health clinic would re- open in Oshawa with a. staff composed of a psychiatrist, psy- chologist, and a social service worker. The winter's heaviest snow- fall blanketed the Oshawa dis- trict with a foot of snow and slowed traffic to a crawl on highways and secondary roads.

Also perturb- ing is the insinuation that the Board does not feel that religion has nothing to do with the future life of a child. If this be true why is it that after some of our teenagers have become involved in crime, sometimes minor and sometimes major, our magis- trates see fit to place them on probation or suspended sen- tence, part of that sentence be- ing that they attend church reg- ularly and visit with their min- ister regularly? I am not speaking of religion but of Christianity. God tells us in His Holy Word, Luke 18, Verse 16, "But Jesus called them unto Him and said 'Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not for such is the Kingdom of God'." If our children are placed in the home of people who do not believe in God how can the children learn that they have a Heavenly Father, a Saviour, and a Com- forter and Guide in times of need? As a Christian, I believe the s 'ritual life of a child is just as important as its mental and physical well-being, and that if a child is being placed for adop- tion it should be placed in a home' where it would become heir not only to the family's material possessions, but to the most important possession any- one can have -- a knowledge of _ and faith in God. --PATRICIA B.

Carol Shannon was runner-up with Jack Bateson taking third prize. Quartermaster Sergeant Harry Woods, Roxborough avenue, re- ceived his war medals won in Second World War. He joined the Imperial Army in England in 1939 and saw nine years' ser- vice. crimination in the civil service. Eddie Sargent the new--and still unpolished -- Liberal from Grey North tried to make it ap- pear that an applicant for a job had been discriminated against because she was colored. The government was able to rebut this easily. Actually the government has given a good lead in hiring prac- tices. There are now not only a large number of colored men and women in the government service but also many new Ca- nadians. RELIGIOUS ADOPTIONS Somewhat of a wrong impres- sion may have been left by a recent story on adoptions. The report was that the Chil- dren's Aid Society of Toronte was changing its policy on re ligion in adoptions. In future it wouldn't insist that the adopting parents be of the same religion as the child. This led to the impression there had been a change in the law. There wasn't--for there is no law. There is no statute which says anything about religion in adop- tions, This is a matter which is left entirely to the discretion of the wards of the child--in the ma- jority of cases the children's aid societies. They have followed the rule-- which Toronto has now broken --that there should not be con- flicting faith adoptions. But there always have been private adoptions in which faith lines have been crossed. Ronald W. Bilsky, D.C.
