| 'She Oshatoa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1964--PAGE 6 Ten-Year Policy Gives Coherency To Defence At last Canada is to have some- thing resembling a coherent de- fence policy... Defence Minister Hellyer and his advisers have taken into account Canada's geopolitical position, resources and _ probable development and produced a logical, flexible policy to cover the next ten years. Integration of the army, navy and air force was pledged by Liberal leader Lester Pearson during last year's election campaign. It is now firm policy. The result should be a more efficient force in all ways -- a force with more muscle and less fat. Headquarters, training and ad- ministrative staffs are now main- tained by each service, tying up about 50,000 of Canada's 122,000 full-time servicemen. It is estimated that savings in this field through integration could amount to $100,- 000,000. It will not be accomplished overnight. Mr. Hellyer will undoub- tedly face a lot of "dumb disobe- dience" generated by inter-service jealously and rivalry, and this will complicate a task that is highly complicated on the technical level alone, without the injection of the human element. But his handling of the department to date would in- dicate that he is tough, alert and not éasily discouraged -- and will have a lot of public support. The defence white paper takes a realistic view of the requirements of Canadian defence, and the na- tion's ability to match what is needed and what is possible. This newspaper has for some time been suggesting the development of flex- ible, mobile military units which could be moved quickly to any part of Canada, or the world, and this is what Canada is now to have. This development virtually demands in- tegration of the services, under a strong staff group. Mr. Hellyer has done a fine job on the white paper. Now he has the more difficult job of transform- ing plans into action. Action Blocked Panic The dramatic story of how cen- tral bankers in North America moved swiftly to avert a foreign exchange panic after the assassina- tion of President Kennedy has been told by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It goes like this: "On November 22, the initial shock of the news from Dallas paralyzed the New York exchange market and, as ominous rumors concerning the condition of both the President and Vice President began to flood the financial markets, there was a clear risk that the pamic selling which. had hit the market might spread to the gold and foreign exchange markets as well, "To provide firm assurance. of the continuity of U.S. international financial policy, the Federal Reserve immediately placed in the New York market sizeable offers of most of the major foreign currencies at the rates prevailing just prior to the tragedy. "The Bank of Canada simultane- ously and on its own initiative took similar steps, which were then reinforced by Federal Reserve ac- tions in New York, to stabilize the Canadian dollar-United States doliar rate. "As the market realized that the Federal Reserve with the operation of foreign central banks was fully prepared to defend the existing rate levels, speculative reactions subsided. By the end of the day, Federal Reserve interven- tion in the New York market had amounted to no more than $23 mil- lion in all currencies. Intervention by the Bank. of Canada to support the United States dollor on Novem- -22 amour ' to $24 million; half of these acquisitions were subse- quently taken over by the Federal Reserve." The Financial Post comments: "The bold sophisticated intervention of the central bankers at the time of the Kennedy crisis is extremely encouraging ...It suggests that the mechanics of _ international finance are now good enough for countries like Canada to get down to doing the very hard domestic things that must be done if there is to be basic improvement in our international payments position." co- Our Natural Museums Placed against the vastness of the whole land, the total acreage devoted to parks and wilderness areas in Canada does not amount to very much, The acreage, fortuna- tely is expanding. But federal and provincial governments are under constant pressure by mining, lum- bering, accommodation and other interests to reduce the recreation and wilderness areas, or destroy them permitting unrestricted commercial exploitation. It will be a sad day if govern- ments concede to these pressures, by because the recreation and wilder- ness areas are as necessary to the well-being of the nation as any man-made project. A witness before a U.S. Senate committee considering a Wilderness Bill had these significant words to She Oshawa Gimes she! WILSON, Publisher Y, Editor dining The Oshawa Times the Whitby.

The committee, in its report, ac- cepted this view, standing: "This quotation presents another concept of the value of a wilderness preser- vation system. The budget estimate for the Smithsonian Institution in 1962, which includes $10 millon for additions to the natural history building and $13.6 million for the Museum of History and Technology, as well as approximately $9 million for salaries and expenses, totals $35, 162,000.

MEXICAN HAT DANCE READERS' VIEWS HOLY TRINITY CHURCH Dear 'Sirs: Can you spare a moment to read this,and-- perhaps print what may be suitable to the disestablishment of Holy Trinity Church, Oshawa? I'm one of three men who entered the Sacred Ministry via Holy Trinity in your. city. The article of 19th March in your paper, sent to me by a friend mentioned two men en- tering 'the ministry. Rev. Wal- lace. Edwards left Holy Trinity to prepare for the 'ministry the same date as I did; I trained at Wycliffe College, he at Trinity. Some years later he returned to England and became the rector of Stoke Poges, where "the lowing herd wend slowly o'er the lea! Now "'the Curfew' has tolled for Holy Trinity, and your well written article has brought back some memories. I well understand the reasons and conditions that contribute to the decision to close this church. In 1928 when money raising had not reached modern pro- portions, Holy Trinity was fash- ioned upon an inadequate and not well selected site. But a fair job was done then for the "folk across the tracks! Now as this work is being taken apart, it might be well if, at a distance, I tell the story, and write of the role of Holy Triniy, As a young fellow, I came to live in Oshawa from England June 1923. On June 11 I at- tended worship in Old St. George's (the wooden church). When I mentioned going to YOUR HEALTH I was told "it's old and smail; the new one is not ready; anyway there is room only for the bosses, managers etc.!" No. unions then to fight the battle of the daily bread, and conditions affected even the worship of God. However I ad- hered to my duty to worship God, to seek a blessing on my life in a strange new wonderful land, 'St. George's is cold' but I jound it nice and warm. The Liturgy of the Church is one the world over. On my first visit to St. George's I was seat- ed beside the late Mr. Patie, who had the decorating busi- ness on Simcoe North. '"'Come and sit with me each Sunday," he said. Canon De'Poncier used to take me to his home, and did his best to make me a Wil- fred Laurier fan, as he was. Mrs, Colpus, in the AYPA, also knew what was good for young men who greatly missed the home in England, It was a great day when I stood proud in the present St. George's Church when it was dedicated, and I worshipped in that lovely church until I de- cided to lend a hand at Holy Trinity. Because I believed. in my church, I had assisted sev- eral folk who had just about given up their church, and they became more interested, but they acted as though they did not feel part of St. George's. The division of Oshawa into three Anglican Parishes in 1928 helped many people. The 1928 decision was under- stood by me as -- St. George's to remain the unchanged--via media. Christ Church for the Low Church, and Holy Trinity church, Measures To Cut Itching Of Legs By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I would like to know how to help my hus- band who has varicose veins. His leg is very red and purp- lish and the itching is almost unbearable. The leg starts to seep after he scratches it. He will not take any sulfa pills that the doctor prescribed, and is trying to treat it him- self with alcohol or vinegar rubs or soaking in hot water' to re- lieve the itching. I'm %#raid he might be doing more harm than good. He had an operation in the navy but it didn't seem to solve his trouble. He is now 52, 6 feet and weighs 270. pounds -- Mrs. I don't know as he is '"'doing more harm than good," but he is not doing several things that would help, Basically, the vari- cose veins slow down the cir- culation in his legs. Waste mat- ter and excess fluids stagnate in his legs because the circu- lation is slow, sluggish The toxic wastes cause the itching, among other unpleasant consequences. The: sulfa pills can't be: ex- pected to stop the itching and can't correct the fauity circu- lation; they are, however, a safeguard, to some degree, against infections starling when he scratches and breaks the skin, There isn't any dependable way of. preventing infections, though, except doing something' to improve the circulation, As for the itching, calomine or similar lotions will give him more relief and with less risk of small] injuries to the skia which with his trouble, are wkely to become chronic ulcers or infec tions. Sometimes a single operation puts an end to varicose vein troubles; sometimes another is necessary; sometimes 1! suc- ceeds but has, to be repeated Several years later because other veins have become vari- cose, But one thing is certain: Overweight always makes vari- cose veins worse, and that 270 pounds your: husband is carry- ing around means he is' beg- ging for more trouble. Controlling his weight is prob- ably the most important single thing he can do for himself. I hope he'll start following his doctor's advice on other mat- ters Dear Dr. Molner: My 19- year-old son is dating a_ girl who is his fourth cousin, I am very much upset. Should cous- ins. marry?--Mrs, A.M, Many states prohibit mar- riage of first cousins because of the danger. Fourth cousins are far enough apart, so the risk would be negligible. With first cousins. there is too much possibility of inheriting similar recessive genes which might be reinforced and cause serous trouble. I know of two first cousins who had a weak- ness in the optic' nerves, al- though they could see. They married and their children be- came blind-in childhood. Dear Dr. Molner: What should A mother do y hile wait- ing for'a "octor if her two-year- old child has an epileptic fit? --A G Be sure that the child does not hurt himself by thrashing around or biting his tongue.-A wooden tongue depressor or a pencil between his teeth will prevent the latter. Warm towels to the body, or if possible, put- ting the child in a tub with a little warm water, will hasten the end of the convulsion. The continued use of anti-convulsant medication, if this is a recur- ring event, will prevent or les- sen frequency of the attacks. Note to "unsigned": The Rh blood factor has absolutely noth- ing to do with venereal disease. for those who desired a bit more ritual, Your article seem- ed to suggest Holy Trinity was just for the English. The 1928 decision was glong part lines, not racial. Whetthe-cburch was rebuilt- out of old St. George's Mission Hall, most of the folk to the East and South were of European origin, Polish, Ukrain- ian and Russian, and the peo- ple who came to worship at Trinity, came from all parts of the city. In 1928 something hoped for by the decision hap- pened--many non-church goers found that they were both need- ed and welcomed. Not being an advanced church-man I would have preierred to attend Christ Church, but finding much inter- est with the folk among whom I lived for Holy Trinity I got ac- tive there. Very soon after Trinity open- ed, its seats were well-filled -- out of this situation soon there was a very good choir under Walter Jackson -- a choir that was missionary; its members found other people and brought them to church.: The Church School did the same kind of bringing work, so did the ladies' groups. Very soon Holy Tr.ni'y had everything, but tnat item which it has never had much of --money. It took my first service for the Church at Holy Trinity, when Rev. S. C, Jarret was taken ill -- I took it at an hour's notice, because he believed I could do so -- but I was nerv- ous as the speaker was the Mother Superior for the order of St. John Divine! I preached my first s:rmon at Holy Trinity; to an under- standing charitable people. A big time came_ when °: St. George's sent Holy Trinity the old organ. Mrs.. F. W. Cowan had much to do with providing the fine church with a lovely modern organ and required that Holy Trinity must have the old ene. I assisted the organ build- ers to erect the old organ, and learned enough by thai experi- ence to keep the organ working and have likewist done this for the several churches' I have served in my ministry. As Trinity closes the doors, I would hope it will. be record- ed, that its true mission was bringing peop'e to their Lord, and that it was not an English association -- its people were those who took on a new outlook with respect to their old Church -- Trinity was possibly the first church in Oshawa with a point of view, understanding the many citizens of Oshawa who labored in industry. I suppose the grass has grown over the tennis court at Court and Barrie. How I ever had the audacity to ask R. S. Bennet for $50 to help build that court I. still don't understand. Years later I was asked to Write R. B: and ask some help in providing a memo- rial at Calgary for an old friend of his. He replied, as L told him I was that young fel- low who hit him up in Lake- shore Park, at the Conservative Picnic, 'for a man who per- sists I now send $100." Hence Holy Trinity passed away as a building--the Church of God is not buildings. Her faithful will be welcomed with- in the several fine new city churches or back in the stable "old mother'? George. The Bis- hop made reference to the Anglican Congress message "Our mutual Responsibility, etc."' Holy Trini'y is a casualty: to this new attitude to mission, it is one we can afford, sad as it will be for some. Today I have a letter from Kimberley, S.A., thanking my deanery for a gift that will put a wooden floor in a church for Africans who have not lost a church, but the vote -- their liberty, but do have their liberty in Jesus Christ. So Trinity people will understand this need -- for so- cial problems brought _ their church into being, and the same forces contribute to their dis- establishment. * (REV.) LIONEL. F, Wawota. Sask ROWE, OTTAWA REPORT Canadian Honored For Three Careers By PATRICK NICHULSON OTTAWA -- It's a very rare compliment for a Canadian woman to be selected by the U.S. magazine National Busi- ness Woman as the subject or its feature called Careers Un- limited. But that compliment has just been deservedly paid to Hamilton-born Mrs. Stellan- ova Brunt Osborn. Living up to the adjective "unlimited", Mrs. Osborn has crowded three separate careers into her life. As a skirted egg- head, she has been scholar, writer and lecturer. As a mar- ried woman, she has been wife of a governor of Michigan. And as a lover of mankind she has played her greatest role as the dedicated power - behind - the- scenes in a great international association. One of her unusual fields of study was medieval English. She became well-known as a lecturer, and as the author of many books and articies in the fields of history, geography and literature in the Great Lakes re- gon. "Perhaps most significantly," declares jhe National Business Woman, 'she is a founder and the only woman officer of the International Movement for At- lantic Union." This movement advocates the creation of an Atlantic federa- tion on the framework of the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion. It was founded in Pacis where it maintains its head- quarters. Its North American office is in Washington and there Mrs. Osborn works as secretary for North America; actually. her activities are bi- continental, in Canada, the United States and in nine NATO countries of Europe. PRAISED BY LEADERS Mrs. Osborn's efforts to bring this great challenge home to the peoples of the cradle region of democracy, around the North Atlantic ocean, have been BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO March 31, 1944 Oshawa Generals defeated St. Michael's Collage to capture the Junior "A"? OHA hockey' cham- pionship for the seventh con- secutive year. A serious housing shortage existed in the city. F. G. James of Whitby gave his 18th donation at the Oshawa Blood Donor Clinic. Oshawa citizens held a dinner meeting to welcome Lt. James C. Pratt, newly-appointed com- manding officer ofthe city's adopted ship, HMCS "Oshawa". A representative committee was named to organize for supply of comforts for crew members. J. C. Anderson, KC, was elect- ed president of the Chamber of Commerce for 1944-45. The Executive Committee for the Oshawa and Ontario County Sixth Victory Loan campaign were W. George Tubby, organ- izer; Col. R. S. McLaughlin, honorary chairman; Dr. W. H. Gifford, chairman, and W. R. Fleming, secretary. John, J. Howsam, dent. of Uxbridge, 94th year. oldest resi- died in his The figure skaters of the Osh- awa Skating Club gave a talent- éd performance at the Arena to wind up the season. Past Presi- dent Fred Skinner was chair- man for the program: President George Finley presented the club trophies to the champions. Air Vice Marshall A. Cowley officially 'opened the new Offi- cers' Mess of the Elementary Flying Training School and also made the presentation of the British Empire Medal to F/S Hugh Morrison, trainee at the school. James Gregory, well-known Oshawa resident for more than 70 years, celebrated his 92nd birthday on April 1. According to the Statistics Branch of the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture 4,456,158 quarts of milk, valued at $440,- 403, were sold in the Oshawa- East Whitby area during 1943. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 31, 1964... John Diefenbaker led his Progressive Conserva- tive party to a record- breaking: victory six years ago today in the 1958 fed- eral election. The Conserva- tives won 208 of the 265 Commons seats as more than 7,000,000 Canadians voted in a record poll. Lib- erals took 49 seats, losing heavily to the PCs in Que- bec. The CCF strength was reduced by two thirds and Social Credit: party repre- sen ation was obliterated. 1939--Prime Minister Ne- ville Chamberlain pledged British aid to Poland in case of aggression 1959--The Dalai Lama of Tibet eluded pursuers and reached northern India where .he was granted po- litical asylum. bi praised by the politicians and professors, the generals and the tycoons of many NATO na- tions. The Natignal Business Woman quotes the late and famed Senator: Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, in presenting Mrs. Osborn to the Senate com- mittee on foreign relations, he said: "I think she has done more for the United Nations and for NATO--for the building and strengthening of the Atlantic Union--than any woman that [ know." As secretary for the Interna- tional Movement for Atlantic Union, Mrs, Osborn is in con- tinual touch with prominent citizens in NATO countries who support its objective of a com- prehensive, powerful, wealthy and peace-maintaining United States of the Atlantic. These ia- clude Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands, General Pierre Billotte and Robert Schuman of QUEEN'S PARK France, Anthony Eden and Lord Boothby of Britain, Lester-Pears son and Senator Wishart Rob--- ertson of Canada, Will Clayton ~ and P. F, Brundage of the United States and literally hun- dreds of others of similar dis: tinction. MEMORABLE DATES Mrs. Osborn tells me that her secretarial duties recently have covered an important share in organizing a remarkable birth- day party in New York City. On March 4, a lunch meeting was held in the historic Fraunces © Tavern, near the Battery, to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the birth in New York City of the world's first federal union government, and the 25th anniversary of the launching in the same city of Union Now-- . a proposal for a federal union of the Democracies of the North Atlantic. This was the widely- acclaimed proposal by Clareace Streit--a_ proposal which, Mrs. Osborn believes, would avert the repeition of such 'suicidal frictions as this century's world wars; a proposal whose accept- ance, Mrs. Osborn believes, could successfully be promoted throughout the Atlantic world by her native country, Canada, the United States, working to- gether. Slogan Now Likely On Licence Plates BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--If Jim talks to Irwin you never can tell--we may yet see a slogan on our Ontario motor licence plates. For a number of years many people have felt Ontario should have a slogan on its plates. Something like the Water Winter Wonderland you see on Michigan markers. This was suggested again by the Ontario Chamber of Com- merce and two other delega- tions all on the same day. Hon. James Aaul told hotel and resort operators appearing before his committee on_ tour- ism that he felt they might. see a slogan on 1965 plates (which will be going into production shortly). He was taken aback when members. of the committee laughed at him. For just a few days before Transport Minister Haskett had told the House he was against a slogan. Transport is responsible for plates ... and Mr. Auld headed the department months ago. technical one that it makes the numbers on the markers less visible. But a number of U.S. states don't find this objectionable, CHAMBER POINTS The chamber had two other recommendations which were particularly timely. One was for a substantial in- crease in the number of "guid- ance specialists." Guidance programs in schools are becoming more and. more important. And as was pointed out, this is not afield in which there are many incentives for re- cruits. The second was that strike votes be prohibited until there is a right to strike. Unbiased people probably would agree that the strike vote as used at present could stand improvement. It is customary now to call votes far in advance of an ac- tual strike and in effect use it as a weapon in final stages of bargaining. until a few _ This results in emotions be- § : ig roused at an early stage.

Johnson's Popularity High Despit THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) President Johnston's popular- ity continues at a high level; de- spite recent Republican attacks on his domestic and foreign policies. Political experts had gener- ally thought that the. "'honey- moon" period would come to an early end, especially in an elec- tion year when the President is under heavy attack by pros- pective nominees of the oppos- ing party. Following is the question ask- ed in the survey; "Do you .approve or dis- approve of the way Johnson is handling his job as president?" Here are the results of the latest survey and the trend since December: JOHNSON POPULARITY Now Feb, Jan. Dec. baer, Nee, amy WS TS BON 99 9 8 Pe | 7 15 18 Favor Oppose No opinion 13 This 'high popularity rating of Johnson was matched by Eis-n- e Attacks hower at this same point in 1956. In that year, he went on to win an easy victoty. On the other hand, Truman's popularity at a time was near one of his low points -- 36 per cent -- but he fought his way back and won a majority of the electoral votes in the 1948 election. Possibly the factor that can affect Johnson's popularity more than anything in the com- inng weeks is the Civil Rights issue, as judged by the great impact this issue had on Presi- dent Kennedy's popularity last summer. , Kennedy's popularity in .the comparable _ South stood at 50 per cent be-. - fore his televised Civil Rights address in June. Immediately after the message, his popular- ity rating dropped sharply to 33 per cent in the Southern states. By late fall, however, it had risen. again to 55 per cent in that area. The question now, with the Civil Rights Bill soon to come before the Senate, will be how much of his popularity John- son can hold in the South with- out alienating the liberal, pro- integration groups in the North.
