hye Oshawa Cures Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. bk. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Doubtful If Election ould Improve House . Prime Minister Pearson has told the House of Commons that his government has no intention of galling a snap election. That may get at rest the rumors which have been circulating around Ottawa in recent weeks, but we doubt it. "Mr. Pearson himself is partly to blame for the atmosphere of. in- ecisive waiting that hangs over Parliament. It is true that leader- ship of a minority government can be a difficult, delicate and often frustrating exercise, but the prime 'minister has the knowledge that 'very few of the members of Parlia- ment want an election this year, 'and that unless his government 'manages to infuriate the entire 'opposition, there will be enough juggling of votes on motions of non-confidence and such to keep the government from defeat. He can, therefore, exert more personal leadership to give this feeble, waff- 'ling House a sense of direction. Much of the blame must be placed 'on Opposition Leader John Diefen- 'baker and his cronies -- in parti- 'cular, Gordon Churchill. Mr, Diefen- 'baker appears to be one of the few Professional There was a time when family doctors used Latin terms to impress patients, and even talked to each other in halting Latin for the same purpose -- and a higher fee. Doctors 'have abandoned that sort of thing, of course, but one wonders whether some of the other professions may "pe using the same old tactic. We keep getting press releases from various sources -- business, public relations, professions -- in which words such as "verbalize" 'and "communicate" keep occurring. Does no one "speak" or "talk" any more? Or is this part of a ploy -- the use of semi-professional jargon to create the impression of wisdom or to make the uninitiated believe that essentially simple or even non- ' existent problems are really terribly fnvolved and therefore require ex- 'pert effort? Some time ago there was a re- port on relations between high achools and universities. It warned -that 'there was inadequate articu- = lation between the two levels of 'education and that consequently "there should be exploration of ver- Britain Gets Sir Winston Churchill, sitting in a wheelchair, was in the British 'House of Commons on Tuesday to 'hear Chancellor of the Exchequer 'Reginald Maudling present his 1964- 65 budget. It was the last time Sir 'Winston would be present on such 'an occasion; he has announced he 'will not run for re-election. It may also have been the last time for 'Mr. Maudling -- for some years 'at least. There will be a general elec- 'tion in Britain next October, and unless there is a remarkable change -in the British political climate, the 'Conservatives will be in opposition 'in November. Mr. Maudling, therefore, was not 'only presenting a pre-election bud- 'get, but probably a pre-defeat She Oshawa Times T,. L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

It does not seems to get through to him that an election- weary public yearns for stability at Ottawa, is not interested in another display of campaign pyrotechnics, is just as uncommitted politically as it was last year, and wants above all to see Parliament get down to business. If Mr. Pearson has failed to attract stronger support to his Liberal government, Mr. Diefen- baker has failed just as much to convinee the voters that he. offers a suitable alternative to Liberal rule. In addition, it is obvious that many Conservatives are disen- chanted with Mr. Diefenbaker, which makes his yearning for another ballot test rather silly. Few of the members of any party can escape some share of the blame for the pitiful performance to date of this Parliament. Most of them have contributed to the time- wasting waffling and undignified antics, What is needed now is not an election but an awakening of the House to the realization that the electorate expects .MPs to start earning their money. Jargon tical as well as horizontal communt!- cation. It was impossible, appar- ently, to report simply that the high schools didn't know what the colleges were.doing, and vice versa. Then there was the military re- port which stated ponderously that unless the recruit verbalizes wrong information, the instructor cannot give him corrective feedback. Corrective feedback is the profes- sional way of telling the recruit or student why he was wrong. Hucksters and "sales researchers" have added to the babel. They are full of motivations and potentials-- they would probably translate "What Makes Sammy Run?" as "Motivational Research of Sammy's Motion Potential." The frightening thing about all this is that educators have deve- loped their own jargon, baffling to the layman.. What is an under- achiever -- something more than a loafer? Yet these are the people who should be the guardians of the language -- the protectors of the means of verbalizing and com- municating. Budget budget, and this must have made his task an agonizing one. What to do? Prepare the sort of budget de- manded by the nation's economic condition, or one that might lure - badly needed votes to the govern- ment? What Mr. Maudling did was to tippy-toe between the tough course suggested by the excess of spending over revenue and the in- creasing threat of inflation, and the course of blandishment sugges- ted by the fortncoming election. He increased the deficit, slapped more taxes on tobacco and alcoholic drinks and gave some encouragement to personal savings. He probably did as well as any- one could expect, under the circum- stances. His government has in- herited or saddled itself with huge fixed expenditures welfare, colonial administration and so on -- that a Chancellor can do little about. In addition, the. British are so heavily taxed now that there is not much room for maneouvre in the raising of new revenues, Never- theless, the economy is buoyant, employment is at a high level and the people generally are prosperous, so much so that inflation is a clear danger. Mr. Maudling had to con- sider means to blunting the infla- tion threat without putting any serious break on economic growth. He may have 'considered various means, but obviously he did not employ them. He' said the theme of the budget was "expansion with- out inflation," but that is probably too flattering a description. a ishiendidanieel Tuey've GoT ME GOING ROUND IN CIRCLES \ SAL A ROA TA EN CA TA YOUR HEALTH PAY-OFF TIME No Special Diets For Each Disease By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What foods should be eaten by a person with high blood pressure?--E.E, Your question, madam, is an example of a foolish circle. Not a vicious circle; but a foolish one that we have passed through. In the last few decades we have come to understand the meaning of a "balanced diet" fairly well. Good diet is important. Make no mistake about that. But some people have as- sumed that there must be a special diet for every disease. This isn't so. Diet--beyond eating a norm- ally healthful one--is rarely im- portant in cases of high blood pressure, with two exceptions. First; the overweight patient with high blood pressure should lose some pounds. Often as little as five or 10 lost pounds will make an appreciable differ- ence. But there isn't any "'list of foods" for reducing. Just. eat less of everything, and avoid fats. Second, some people with high blood pressure are getting too much salt. This can be from over-use at the table or in cook- ing, or eating salty foods (pea- nuts, potato chips, preserved meats, etc.), It can even be from taking bicarbonate of soda or fizzy pain-killers. This is so- dium, however, and it "binds" or holds water in the body to an excessive degree, therefore ag- gravating high blood pressure. "Salt-free diet' isn't a true term. It should be 'low - salt diet" or "low-sodium diet," be- cause nobody can get along without any sodium. There is "natural salt'? in most of the foods we eat, So we are bound te get at least some traces. If salt is reduced too drastic- ally, the patient may suffer from weakness or nausea, This occurs more often in the sum- mer whey the body is losing salt through perspiration. So if you are overweight, or if you are told to restrict salt, those are the ways in which diet will be important. Dear Dr. Molner: My hus- QUEEN'S PARK -- band is 72 and seems to be well physically. However, his ankles swell considerably and by night- fall are really very swollen, What would you think causes this? He refused to go to a doc- tor to find out the reason. -- Mrs. A.W.C, One immediate suspicion would be a weak or failing heart. Such people can appear to be physical!y well, but the early signs are edema or swell- ing of the ankles, and shortness of breath, When treatment starts. early, thé condition can be helped substantially. But your husband must see a phy- sician, Tobacco Growing Changes Expected BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Keep your eye on the tabacco situation. This other area in the prov- ince where we are neat to a 'police state' is getting ripe for action. The flue-cured tobacco board --known as 'The Villains' to those who oppose controls--has drastically cut the acreage to be planted this year. The independent growers who have carried on most of the to- bacco fight appealed to the On- tario Farm Products Marketing Board, This board turned them down, without giving reasons. But this doesn't mean it is in sympathy with the flue - cured board, This was just not. the occa- sion to step in. Feeling here is growing that something simply must be done about tobacco. The obnoxious control legislation is being more and more resented. Thinking leans increasingly towards com- pletely ucontrotled growing -- as advocated by the Stinson re- port, It would seem to be only a question of how the first step will be taken. Also keep an eye on the Se- curities Act. BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO April Farmers in the area began their spring plowing and found the land in good shape. Local barbers raised their prices for haircuts from 15 cents to 25 cents. Ernest Marks was named chairman of the Oshawa Con- servative Association in prep- aration 'for the forthcoming provincial election. Russell Flutter, Mrs. W. G. Corben and Miss Dora Sweet took leading roles in the Christ Church AYPA presentation of he play 'The Importance of Pam" which proved to be a great success, The first training pavade of the Ontario Regiment was held in the Armories. Lt.-Col. R. B. Smith, officer' in command, made the inspection. R. S. McLaughin was honored at the Regimental Ladies' Night banquet on being pro- moted from Honorary Lieut.- Colonel to Honoraty Colonel. Joseph Haines, Park road north, took the first plunge for Oshawa bathers, when he went swimming at the lake. Oshawa Public Welfare Board discontinued the practice of giving meals to transients pass- ing through the city. 16, 1934 Lt.Col. George A. Drew was guést speaker at the annual Vimy banquet of Oshawa Branch 43, Canadian Legion. Dr. S. J. Phillips was elected president of the Oshawa branch of the University of Toronto Alumni at a banquet held in the Genosha Hotel, Sons of England Lodge pre- sented a- 50-year jewel to John Bateman, of Whitby, in recog- nition of his se'vice during which time he had served as secretary. Albert V, Swail was elected president of the Oshawa Motor Club for 1934. A. F. Annis and S. J,. Collacutt were chosen vice-p'esidents. This act has some provisions almost as bad as the Police Act amendments which were thrown out. It's years, lation much been on the books for Being specialized legis- it got there without too criticism. But now we've been aroused about civil rights in our laws-- and a good thing--there could be pressure. to review it. TORONTO HOSPITALS Finally, let's see what the government does about the hos- pital situation in Metro Tor- onto, Toronto is drastically short of hospital beds, This is almost entirely be- cause the municipalities in Metro couldn't agree and Metro council went in a sulk some years ago. It wouldn't build new hospitals. It is not the fault of the prov- ince, Under the grants and stim- ulus it provided, other munici- palities in Ontario managed to keep up to their hospital needs. But in Toronto when some- thing goes wrong you blame the provincia] government, And as so. much of this blame has been thrown by the press and local politicians, the government is going to be forced to do some- thing extraordinary. It's in this spot. If it gave special grants it would be un- fair to you and the people of the other municipalities who have paid for their hospitals. So what will it come up with? One can't say now. But what- ever it is, it almost certainly will be a step towards the day when government takes over the financing of all hospitals.

Smith, the 48-year-old lawyer, and former mayor of Barrie, has belied his ability and experience by writing a let- ter to the Globe and Mail at- tempting to exonerate his party, the Conservatives, "It would have been simple for Mr. Favreau to have asked for and obtained probably unani- mous consent to adjourn to Moi and so make the Fri- day sitting unnecessary," he wrote. Mr, Favreau of course is Hon, Guy Favreau, minister of jus-_ tice and House leader for the government, whose task it is to arrange the business "of the House of Commons, READ THE RECORD Heber Smith's argument sounds reasonable. But it is diametrically opposed to the facts. Even if he was not in the House at the close of the Thurs- day sitting, the day immediately REPORT FROM U.K. Oxford To Create New City Centre By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Corresondent For The Oshawa Times OXFORD -- The old univer. sity city of Oxford is to be en- tirely reshaped in a new development plan which has been approved by its city coun- cil. In recent years, Oxford has seen the influx of industry on a fairly large scale, and the old university atmosphere has been in danger of being submerged. By a vote of 56 to three, the city council has adopted a plan which will create an entirely new city centre, which will be entirely closed to all through traffic. This means that in the Oxford of the future all the traffic of the commercial centre will be removed from the area holding the main group of university buildings, New roads costing $34,500,000 will be built, includ- ng an inner relief road through Christ Church Meadow. The route to be followed by this major road has already been approved by the government. It alone will cost in the neighbor- hood of $28,400,000, CLOSE MAIN STREET N444444 Under the new plan, the main shopping street of Oxford, the Cornmarket, will be reserved for shoppers only. One end of it will be closed up, making it a cul-de-sac, and the only vehicles allowed on it will be delivery vans going to and from the many stores on the street. There will be a complete ban on park- ing on the streets of the new city centre. These are among the main proposals contained in a review of the city's development plan, which has been passed by the council and made public, It covers the planning of Oxford up to the year 1981, By that time the population of the city, it is estimated, will be 114,800, with an additional 28,000 who will be housed in adjacent areas out- side the city boundary. The principle of sear traffic and pedestrians hes beck followed as far as possible, HARMONIOUS GROWTH The plan says: The unique compound of the university and city which is the chief characteriste of the cen- tre of Oxford can and should continue, though it will require careful planning to achieve it if the two elements are to grow moni on their confined "The position of the university in the city is unique, and care must be taken that the natural evoluton of university develop- ment is not frustrated," With the ban on parking in the city centre, there will be an increase in other parking places, mostly in multi-storey parks. The St, Ebbe's area 'is to be developed on two levels, one for pedestrians and the other for vehicles running right down to the river, "The river through St. Ebbe's, free from gasworks, can become one of the most spectacular pieces of urban river scenery in Oxford," says the, report.

America place 500 years earlier than the arrival of Col- umbus, and is to establish Leif Ericson Day as a commemorative annual holiday. Helgo Ingstad, a disti: hed Norwegian archeologist, une earthed the site of a Viking vil- lage, dating from about the year 1,000 in Newfoundland! So this exciting historical 'first white _ settlement in North America" is Canada's own glory, taking the headlines away from Chris- topher Columbus. Thus Canada, the United States, should enjoy ~ national Leif Ericson holi- lay. For some years, of course, there have been suggestions that Leif or other Vi settled temporarily in Cape ,» Mass- achusetts, about 600 years be- fore Champlain arrived there in 1609. But the Newfoundland site predated this still hypothetical Cape Cod colony. INDUSTRIAL SPIES Five years ago a group of Ca- nadian top businessmen visited Russia. They met with Premier Khrushchev after touring var- ious industrial plants and agreed with him that Russia was mak- ing remarkable strides in in- dustrialization. But they said they would like to reserve judg- ment until they could re-exam- ine progress five years later. So now the Russian govern- ment has confidently invited them to revisit what they saw before. On April 30, a group of 46, forming a Who's. Who in Ca- nadian Business, will fly via England to spend two busy weeks seeing Russia's industrial sites.
