Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Posterity's Forgotten When Money To Be Made The attack of commercial in- terests on park wilderness areas, which has been repelled in most other parts of Canada, has made headway in British Columbia. There, despite the bitter protests of con- servationists, the press, university spokesmen and the more articulate of the general public, the govern- ment has decided to open the wil- ' derness parklands to commercial exploitation. One of the reasons for the deci- sion, it seems, was roads. Road- building is a difficult operation in much of mountainous British Colum- bia, and the government apparently expects that the commercial deve- lopers will build roads to make their exploitation possible. Those who have seen mining and logging "development" trails in eastern Canada know what kind of roads the British Columbias can expect. The Victoria Colonist recalled that a little over a hundred years ago John Ruskin made this com- ment on the destruction of an Eng- lish river valley: "You enterprised a Thoughtless Sometimes mechanical faults or road conditions are directly respon- sible for traffic accidents, with the drivers absolved of blame. But in the great majority of instances, the railroad - drivers are at fault -- the driver who is careless, reckless, inatten- tive, unskilled or drunk. A British doctor, who is also a coroner and therefore has con- ducted: scores of inquiries into fatal traffic accidents, has concluded that there is one common element in traffic mishaps. That is simple want of thought, brought about by the driver taking his automobile for granted and overlooking the re- quirements of care and courtesy. The doctor has summarized his findings and theories in an article published by the Manchester Guar- dian: Driving tends to become a nega- tive rather than a positive activity and the driver is thinking more of what he will do when he reaches his destination than specifically on get- ting there. In other words, this coroner suggests, driving is not re- garded as something which requires the conscious application of the whole faculties or attention of the driver. through the valley, you blasted its rocks away, heaped thousands P| tons of shale into its lovely stre: The valley is gone and the gods with it, and now 'every fool in Buxton can be at Bakewell in half an hour and every fool in Bakewell in Bux- ton; which you think a lucrative process of exchange -- you fools everywhere." The Colonist appended its own comment: "No doubt at the time he wrote, the English authorities were mouth- ing the same platitudes as our offi- cials today about the almost un- limited extent of our natural resour- ces. No: doubt they were as un- mindful then as our officials are today of the relentless pressures of population on the unspoiled beauty of nature. What is the harm in nibbling away a little bit here and a little bit there? There's five acres of wilderness area for every man and woman and child in the pro- vince right now. Who's going to miss an acre or two -- posterity? Who cares about posterity when there is money to be made?" Operation Developing this theme, he sug- gests that perhaps so much is done to assist the driver along his route that he develops a false sense of security. As he puts it, "Driving today is an exercise for the whole mind, and anything which distracts a driver's attention from it is very dangerous; the very 'improvements' in roads, sign-posting, and in the cars themselves produce that false sense of security. So much is done for him that he does not realize how much is left for him to do for him- self or that it is in what is left for him that the whole problem arises. No car, no road, no blind corner, no unlighted patch ever killed any body. Only drivers kill. Bad lighting or bad roads are there and any- body using them.can do so safely only by thinking about them and acting in accordance with.them. He has an accident because he is not thinking about what he is doing." If, indeed, there is a solution, he concludes, it lies in the realization, "which is certainly not here yet", by veryone who uses the. roads that he has a social and oral respon- sibility to everyone else who uses the roads 'which goes far beyond the mere legal obligation not to kill him." Some Figures On Debt that debt responsibility has grown from $635 in 1960 to $790 this year. A citizen with courage and a sharp pencil can produce appalling information about his debts from Mr. Gordon's Budget the Ottawa Journal notes. The gross debt of Canada on March 31 will be $25,872,000,000 and that, divided amony 19,000,000 gives them a responsi- papers, Canadians, bility of $1,360 each. The Dominion, however, has as- sets it counts against the gross debt and Mr. Ggrdon estimates the net debt at $15,135,800,000. The net responsibility of the citizen then becomes $790. but before he throws his hat in the air over the re- duction from the gross debt he he Oshawa Fimes WILSON, Publisher C, GWYN KINSEY, Editor The Oshawa Times combining.

It is written in Rom. 6:16 Know ye not that to whom ye YOUR HEALTH yield yourselves servants to obey his servants ye are to whom ye obey, whether sin unto death or obedience to God unto righteousness, Deut, 18:8-12. Because there is a legion of unclean seducing familiar spir- its of infirmity in many of this world's people (Luke .7:21, 8:35, 13:11-16, 1. Timothy 4:1, 2) our Lord Jesus Christ warned us to ebware of false prophets (Mat. 7:15) that by their fruits we shall know them (Eph, 5:i-20, 2. Peter 1:1-11). The duty of the clergy is to preach the ministry of recone:!- jiation (2 Corinth. 5:19), and if a person be sick the elders of the church should pray with or over them anointing them with oil (James 5:14-16), blessing them in' the name of God our heavenly Father, Jesus Christ our Redeemer and the Ho'y Sp.rit our Comforter (Luk? 13: 13, 1 Timothy 4:14, 2 Timothy 1:6, 7, Mark 16:17-20). Seems that these minster: as Elisha, James and John, do no Hormones Produced Though Tubes Tied By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I had an appendectomy two months ago and was sterilized at the same time. Why is my period still normal if the egg is not being discharged? And what happens to the egg? Is 'it possible to dislodge or hurt anything by 'exercise or lifting this long after such an operation? What are the chances of conceiving in the fu- ture? 1 am 25 years old.--Mrs, A.P. You were sterilized, and that means you cannot have any more children, This is not a temporary condition, It 1s per- manent, at I have pointed out before There are various methods of surgical. sterilization (removal of the ovaries or the uterus, or tying or culling the. fallopian tubes which lead from the ovaries to the uterus), In your case it is clear that the tubes were out or tied The ovum, or egg, no longer can reach the uterus, and it cannot be fertilized However, your endocrine sys- tem (the various glands pro- ducing hormones) remains the same. These hormones, a couple of weeks after an ovum has been released, cause the menstrual flow-to occur Prime purpose of this is to remove the inner lining of the uterus and provide a fresh one for the next cycle--in case an ovum is fertilized. Nature, you see, doesn't seem to recognize the fact that no more ova will be able to reach a place where they can be fertilized If the ovaries had been re- moved, it would be quite differ- ent. Without the hormones se- creted by the ovaries, there is no menstrual flow. ('That is what happens in menopause, or the change of life; the ovaries cease' functioning, and men- Struation ceases, too.) But when the tubes are cut or tied, menstrual periods con- tinue just as before, and as they are continuing in your case, and will Where does the egg or ovum go? It will disintegrate and be e@bsorbed by the body tissues And don't worry about it. The egg is so small that you would need a microscope to see it. The size is something like six one-thousandths of an inch in diameter! You should be able to do moderate exercise' and. lifting, ince the wound has healed by now. However, this is the sort of question which should be asked of your own surgeon, who knows whether there was any- thing unusual about your case, and whether any special pre- cautions are needed Dear Dr. Molner:; We have been given a trip to Hawaii as a present, but we can't go until later, Is it possible to become pregnant if you have inter- course and get your period two hours later? 1 would hate to be eight months pregnant on a tip to Honolulu--Mes, @.L, All but 'impossible. Bon voy- aye : GALLUP. POLL know what spirits they are of. (Luke 9:52-56). Elisha after receiving a double portion of the spirit of Elijah the man of God (2 Kings 2:9, 23, 24) did not know what spirit he was of. Just because a group of small children mocked him Elisha cursed them in the name of the Lord and forty and two of the children were torn by bears. Now if a curse in the name of the Lord brought such destruc- tion how much more benefit will a blessing bring in the name of God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit by men of God in our day? (Mark 9:37-41, John 16:23- 26, Acts.3:6-16, 4:12). Jesus Christ cast devils-out of many before He was able to build them into solid Christians. The believing disciples of today have the same promise of power (Mark 16:17, 18) "with the ex- ception of some that can only be cast out with prayer and fast- ing" (Mark 9:29, Luke 8:1, 2). In fact the hypnotist is the one who needs prayer and help fram every true disciple of God, Mark 7:20, 23, Luke 11:33-36, 2 Tim- othy 2:26. God is not willing that any should perish, for us there is only one door, one faith, one Lord God our creator and the Bible our only true guide for a complete life in Christ. (John 10:1, 2; Eph. 4:5, 6; 1. Tim. 2:1-6). RR 2, Little Britain.

Hon, Jehn Diefenbaker, Con- servalive party leader, should have passed at the Tory con- vention in February Sevén-in-ten Conservatives thought such a vote was a wise thing to do while only two-in- ten considered it unwise. Among Libera:s: nearly four-in-ten ap- proved of the vote of confidence and more, than four-in-ten dis- approved, NATIONAL Unwise Undecided 100% 100% 100% Nationally, 48 per cent of the people thought it a wise move, while 34 per cent were not in favor and 18 per cent undecided. Those from other parties sided, to a lesser extent, with the Conservatives in viewing a vote of confidence favorably, Fifty per cent of the Socred's and NDP's claimed it was a wise thing to do and 38 per cent said it was unwise. The question: "As you know the Conserva- tive party passed a vote of con- fidence in Mr. Diefenbaker as party leader at their convention recently, Do you think this was a wise, or an unwise thing for the Conservatives to do?"

Egyptian-born Fawzia Amir Hanko started performing at a nightclub in Montreal seven years ago. But only now her belly-dance act, which has so long delighted the expense-ac- count society, has led to her conviction for 'staging an ob- e@cene dance' and an order for her deportation has been is- sued, Fanny Hill has had an even longer run with her cash cus- tomers. The long-acclaimed but fictitious biography of that young layabout was written by John Cleland in England two centuries ago. But the book about this 18th century Lady Chatterly has only now been dubbed obscene by some auth= orities, and she too has at tracted a deportation order. Elizabeth Taylor arrived in Canada with four husbands be- hind her and her intended fifth beside her. This shocked many Canadians, but she was ac- corded noisy welcomes by Tor- onto mobs. Since then this 32- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 3, 1964... Canada paid the United States $108,000,000 on taking over the Alaska Highway 18 years ago today--in 1946. The sum covered airfields, flight strips, telephone sys- tems, buildings and other assets, but not construction of the highway itself. The 1,523-mile highway was con- structed in 1942-43 at a cost of $139,800,000 to the U.S., with Canada supplying right of way. 1940 -- Winston Churchill became director of Brit- ain's military services. 1940--The Earl of Athlone Was appointed Governor- General of Canada. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM A toast: Here's to Temptation and Opportunity -- may they often meet. We may be sure that others rate us at values that we place on status. year-old actress has been joined with Richard Burton in holy matrimony by a Montreal clergyman; she has thus almost attained the same matrimonial status as England's King Henry VIII, whose numerous nuptials broke up a church, disunited ever since. STILL BE CANADIAN Legal brains here are offering gratis a tip to any Canadians who wish to retain their Cana- dian citizenship while also as- 'suming the citizenship of an- ther country from which they desire to accept a title. The Ca- nadian Citizenship Act states: "A Canadian citizen who, out- side of Canada and not under a disability by any voluntary and formal act other than mar- riage, acquires the nationa'ity or citizenship of a country other than Canada thereupon ceases to be a Canadian citizen." The significant words, ac- cording to these legal experts, are "outside of Canada." In other words, if a Canadian who has fulfilled other necessary re- quirements, goes through the formality of applying for the citizenship of another country at the Ottawa embassy of that country, he would not be ac- quiring that citizenship "out- QUEEN'S PARK side of Canada" -- he would do so in Ottawa. He, therefore, would not automatically forfeit his Canadian citizenship under the act. Ralph Cowan, the sapient and fearless newcomer Liberal MP from Toronto, is fast making his mark on Parliament Hill as a loyal 100 per cent, Canada- booster, With glee he arked to me upon an interesting co- incidence, The government has disclosed its intention to give Time magazine a preferred po- sition in the Canadian publish- ing field, while in the same week a Time reporter--a com- paratively newcomer to the Ot- tawa scene from the U.S.--has published a more - than - kindly book about Prime Minister Pearson. Of the former action George Johnson, who was a member of the O'Leary royal commis- sion set up to explore ways of, protecting Canadian magazines against unfair foreign competi- tion, tells me: 'The government has decided to let the existing burglars remain, while taking steps to exclude further inva- sions." ; Pertinent to the book, : var- iously described here as Instant Pearson and Inside Pierreson, Mike Pearson himself recently declared before Toronto's Var- iety Club that "only Shakes- peare could do justice to the tragic and comic problems faced by the leader of a minor ity government." Of course, the timing of par- liamentary action and publica- tion coincided accidentally; but as Ralph Cowan points out, it is an interesting coincidence. Interest Inspired In Citizen Rights BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--in the great con- troversy over the police act amendment the reason for the great objection may have been somewhat obscure. In all the clamor about in- dividual rights and police states, not too often has there been any explanation of just what is wrong. It boils down to this: 1. The amendments would give to a body which meets in private, the right to summarily bring anyone before it and to jail him for contempt. 2. There is not even the. guar- antee of a right to counsel. WRONG ARGUMENTS _~-.- Many arguments and justifi- cations have been put forward in defence of the amendment. But to date, at least, none of these arguments has really ap- plied. " BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO April 3, 1939 The Board of Health arrang- ed for a tuberculosis clinic to be held at the Oshawa General Hospital. General Motors of Canada an- nounced that orders for cars had been received from other countries and this new export trade would mean year-round work. Miss Leah Garrow, Mrs. Alex Fisher and Harry Salmon assist- ed the choir of Knox Prexby- terian Church, Toronto, with a sacred cantata. C. H. Millard, president of the Tuxis Square of King Street United Church, was master of ceremonies at a father and son banquet in that church, Others taking part in the program were Meredith. Moffatt, Bill Switzer, George Brown, Jack Chamberlain, E. Kiefaber and Lloyd Wood, The Tabernacle. United Ohuroh ateeple, 54-year-old hand- mark-in Whitby, crashed to the ground during a violent wind storm : formal application was made for a division court to embrace Oshawa and Kast Whitby, to be located in Oshawa, The GMC Baseball Club de- cided to enter a team in the Central Ontario. Baseball League, A. M. McDonald was elected president of the elub. A. R. Alloway was re-elected vice-president of the Ontario Provincial Dailies Association at the annual meeting held in Kitchener. : I Customs collections for the fiscal year 1928-29. was $9,- 132,603 for the second highest amount in the history of the city. The sergeants of the Ontario Regiment held their first an- nual dance in the Armories. George W. McLaughlin was re-elected president' of the Chamber of Commerce. It is angud that both the courts and royal commissions have the power to jail for con- tempt. But court hearings are in pub- lic. And though not all commis- sion hearings are in public, no commissioner ever has, or would, jail anyone from a pri- vate session. Again, it is said that everyone has the right to counsel in our system. But this is only a right of custom. It is not in any statute, And, if a precedent were set by legalizing a star chamber, it presumably also would set its own precedent on individual rights so long as there was nothing in law to prevent it. GOOD THING Actually this whole contro versy will do us a great deal of good, providing it winds up properly and without bad law on the books. It has bred an interest in civi) rights in this chamber and among its members. Particularly, it has brought te the fore the question of individ- ual rights, In recent years the tendency has been to be sleepy about these rights. We have been concerned with marketing schemes and other measures which essentially in- fringe individual rights. And we have not been much concerned. This was a trend which was getting to the stage of being dangerous. We are now awakened again to our old principles. And it is a good thing. 66Witha termDlan loan we found we could afford the large size we needed99 When you finance in advance at the Royal you keep your borrow- ing costs down --- can often buy a better product for the same _money.
