Wilson, Publisher 4 : TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1964--PAGE 6 -- Liberal Members Begin To Choose Candidates A lively contest for the Ontario Liberal leadership is now assured, with the elected "pros" of the party committing themselves to one or another of the announced conten- ders well in advance of this fall's -convention. At this stage, ii appears that the big battle will be between Charles Templeton, former evan- gelist, former TV personality, form- er newspaper executive who has not held an elected office, and Andrew Thompson, young social worker and member for Dovercourt. Elmer Sopha, the sharp-tongued Sudbury lawyer who is one of the more forceful Liberals in the On- tario Legislature, has plumbed for Mr. Templeton. Vernon Singer, just as forceful and also a front bencher .of the Liberal caucus, has announ- ced that he will support the leader- ship bid of Mr. Thompson. Mr. Sopha sees Mr. Templeton as the man with the fresh ideas, well-known name and inspirational force to lead the provincial Liberals out of the wilderness. Mr. Singer, an unsuccessful candidate for the Unbalanced It is estimated that out of all the scientists who ever liver, nine out of ten are still alive today. The amount of scientific information published in the past 10 years is equal to all that had been published from the beginning of time until 1954. And every day we hear of the ever-increasing need for more scien- tific research and development, even though there is so much being done, so many frontiers of knowledge be- ing pushed back that scientists com- plain they are being driven into greater and greater specialization in narrow fields because it is no longer possible to keep up with all the new developments in broad professional areas. The speed-up is seen in the nar- rowing space between.discovery and practical application. The inventors, the discoveries, up until a century or so ago, were long dead before their findings were put to practical use. R. H. Keefler, president of Northern Electric, points out that the principle of steam power was -_known early in the 18th century, party leadership in 1958, says Mr. Thompson is the most aggressive of the candidates in the field and that he has been impressed by Mr. Thompson's background in social work and politics, his record in the Legislature, his ability to express new ideas. Mr. Singer took a swipe at Templeton by saying he could not support a candidate from out- side the Legislature, because he believes experience at Queen's Park is necessity for a potential leader. One wonders if Mr. Singer would give so much weight to experience at Queen's Park if, say, Robert Winters indicated his willingness to become a candidate. There isn't any doubt, however, that lack of prac- tical political experience may tell heavily against Templeton, -even though his deep interest in polities has been obvious to his friends for years, and it has been known for sometime that he would ultima- tely. seek a career in politics to cap his other successful careers. He has an aura of success, and this. may well offset his drawbacks. Progress but it was more than a hundred years later that the first trains were drawn' by steam locomotives. Sixty years passed from the time that Faraday first demonstrated the electrical generator until the first use of electricity by the public. There was a delay of more than a century from the discovery of light- sensitive silver salts until the first application of photography, in 1839. In this century, the lag between scientific investigation and the de- velopment of new products and ser- vices has steadily been narrowed. It took only 15 years for radar to move from discovery to application. Tele- vision took 12 years, nylon' eight years, the transistor five years. This is true even when the discovery results from fundamental research-- the pure quest for new knowledge, without much concern for practical application. But this 'great. advance has been made by science. It is a sobering thought that man has hot pro- gressed nearly as far or as fast in the areas of human relations. Safety On The Water The early 1950s saw the start of a boating boom which has. main- tained momentum into the Sixties and shows no signs of slackening. Ontario is blessed with literally hundreds of thousands of lakes and rivers to provide the boat owners with plenty of variety for their summer's recreation. But with more people on the water, there are more accidents, many fatal, most of which could be avoided by the use of alittle common sense and fore- © sight. The Ontario Safety League re- minds everyone that only the right approach to the use of boats, motors and water skis will insure a summer of fun and pleasure. unmarred by tragedy. The first step is to inspect the hull of your boat thoroughly, be sure *it is in seaworthy condition, and if She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher - C.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oskawa Times LONDON -- Some 18 months ago, there was serious industrial trouble at the giant Ford Motor Car Company's plant at Dagen- ham, Essex. It arose over the dismissal of 17 shop stew- ards who were alleged to have been trouble-makers who were responsible for a rash of un- official strikes at the plant. The company's view was upheld by a court of inquiry, which held that the dismissals of these men were fully justified. Although it is 18 months since this dispute was settled, and fairly amicable industrial re- lations have prevailed in the Ford Company since that time, this dismissal of the trouble- making shop stewards is still having its repercussions among the workers. . The unions at Ford's plant now claim that they are finding it impossible to get men to act as shop stewards. This is be- cause the men are afraid of the consequences to them if they accepted that responsibility. According to the union lead- er, Leslie Kealey, the unofficial shop stewards committee has appealed in vain for volunteers anong the 32,000 workers now employed at the Dagenham p'ant to act as shop stewards. It sent around a circular say- ing: "The crying must stop and the gaps in representation must be filled) The blame rests with' every. individual in the plant. The gutlessness which leads to this tvme of situation must be swept away." SOME HAVE RESIGNED Mr. Kealey,. whose Transport and General Workers' Union is one of the 21 unions. involved in the operations at Dagenham said: "People are frightened to take on these duties, and in some departments shop stew- ards _have resigned because they feel unable to get any- where with their problems." Mr. Kealey: added: "'We have had this trouble since the 1962 affair and it is likely to con- tinue.~The 'trouble - makers' were' sacked because of an un- official work stoppage. The stoppage was called as a pro- test against the dismissal of shoo steward William Francis." The showdown, which was precipitated when the company summarily dismissed the 17 trouble - makers, was followed YOUR HEALTH by the court of inquiry which upheld the company, This ap- peared to break the hold of the Communist faction on the stew- ards, whom they had been dom- inating. Now the moderate un- ion leaders believe the vacan- cies among the shop stewards could eventually lead to another Communist take-over bid. The worst-affected section is the paint, trim and assembly de- partment, where nearly a third of the posts are vacant. The union leaders claim that negotiations with the company's management are hampered be- cause of the men's reluctance to take union office. And they claim that the company's inter- ests, too, are being harmed. Baby's Sex Still Remains Mystery By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Can the sex of a baby be de- termined in advance? Can the sex of your next child be con- trolled? At this stage of understand- ing of the process, the answer is no. But there are all sorts of theories: the degree of alkalin- ity in the vagina, the exact time of fertilization, and the degree of emotional stability all influ- ente the sex of the baby-to-be. However, in my opinion, there is not much that anyone can do to control the sex. All the the- ories may have some validity. If so, we still must determine which of them exert the most influence, and discover whether still others might have even more importance, and find ways, perhaps, of making sure that all factors are mobilized at the same time. In my mail came a letter from a lady who has two girl babies and a lot of books, clip- pings and magazine articles on how to control sex. She takes me to task for not presenting all these theories to readers of this column and adds: "In my. case, if I succeed in conceiving a boy as planned, I will always attribute it to science, although you'd prob- ably call it coincidence. I hope you will print this even if you may not be convinced that these doctors may know- more than you on the subject."

I concede that the research- ers on this subject know more than I do about it. All I'm say- ing is that, with all the work they've done, they've only be- gun to scratch the surface and such factors as they have not yet studied may well be far more potent than any they have undertaken thus far. I'm neither discouraging nor making light of this study. Quite the reverse. I hope the lady has a boy. But I doubt that we yet know enough to change nature's odds very much, or that it is worth anybody's trouble (except in the cause of research) to try to "'decide" whether the next baby will be a boy or a girl. It may be that some day such control will be possible; if so, it will then be necessary to write some new laws govern- ing whether you will be per- mitted to have a boy or a girl! You think I'm joking? If you want to be really erudite, look up the archives of last winter's meeting of the American As- sociation for the Advancement of Science in Cleveland and you will find some papers dealing with the impact on society if, for whatever reason, the ratio of boys to girls should be sub- stantially upset. In fact, I don't even need any learned papers to convince me that there would be a problem! And I'm glad that nature proves she can't be too easily upset in - her designs. But, I still hope the lady has a boy. Maybe twin boys, I won- der if that wouldn't make her doubly sure that she's right and I'm wrong.

Pearson will beat an ignomin- fous retreat to a position" of greater loyalty to, and suppo: for, Canadian magazines."' That was the predi made more than a 'month ago by this column. Today, not without in- side knowledge of what is go- ing on in the prime minister's secret conclaves, I can reveal that the ignominious retreat now has been planned--but it is still not adequate. The position of Canadian magazines was quite frankly. desperate when the former prime minister set up the O'Leary Commission several years ago. Then he diefen- dallied with its recommenda- tions; he promised to bring the recommended legislation before Parliament to protect our mag- azines. But, as with so many diefenpromises, deifenall was done. Two months ago, Prime Min- ister Pearson returned to the well-gnawed O'Leary bone, and gaye notice of planned legis!a- tion which would protect Cana- dian magazines by keeping sut all future marauders. READERS' VIEWS SCOTTISH RAILWAYS Dear Sir: Permit me to comment on the recent article by Mr. Mcintyre Hood, under the heading "Scot- land's North Retains Railway". His coverage was very good and vastly different from some -of his articles which deal with Scotland. This writer also has travelled the route from Inver- ness to the Kyle of Lochalsh and observed that a railroad was a must in that part of the High- lands, owing to the fact that the roads were mere cowpaths. I have before me a Scottish paper which deals with the sub- ject in question. Among other things it tells us: 'The main Highland lines in the North have been reprieved from the Beeching sentence of death and all Scotland is expected to be on its feet cheering, Cheering the people who have fought the closing? No, cheering the politi- cians who were responsible for the sentence, but who have been intimidated into going back on their intention to execute. "Scotland should be accustom- ed to seeing political blacks de- scribed as white and a stab in the back cheered as an oppor- tunity for someone to apply a bandage. We have long experi- ence that promises in Scotland mean nothing, but it has taken even longer to make the nation realize that words -- especially in the mouths of the Anglos -- mean the opposite of what they do anywhere else in the world. But the Highlands and all others interested will do well to keep their claymores in trim and ready to hand. This reprieve is a political face-saver. The lines will remain in jeopardy so long as. British Railways remain under the present management, who will wait their time and come again when the opposition has been lulled back into somno- lence. These lines will be closed yet or 45 million Englishmen will know the reason why." A Celtic chief of the Roman times, Calcagus by name, said of the invaders, 'They make a wilderness and call it peace." Might it not be said that today there are moves to make the Highlands a desert and call it progress? J. M.

CAUCUS BOILS This proposal was entirely in- adequate and hence unaccept- able. Even the Liberal caucus," meeting behind closed doors, heard savage criticism of Pear- son's pussyfooting. The secretary of state, Maur- ice Lamontagne, is the "culture czar" of the Pearson cabinet. He recently proclaimed that "our cultural life is relatively weak and dangerously exposed to the dominating influence of the United States." Our magazines are not just dangerously but lethally ex- posed to competition by cut- rate U.S. imports. Last month I reported that our two leading magazines, Macleans and Chat- elaine, had lost $282,000 in the first two months of this year. I can now add that their losses rose to $405,000 in March. In those three months, Time, especially, derived a substan- tial advertising revenue which should not have been diverted from our Canadian magazines. This diversion is bleeding them to death, and death will almost certainly occur before the fall unless something is done. If our magazines are allowed to be closed down, on their tombstones will be engraved the words: 'Here lies the Ca- nadian magazine industry, mur- QUEENS PARK The powerful magazine lobby in Washington was able to achieve support by its govern-. ment; why shouldn't our maga- zines enjoy the same from our government? -- =i The joint communique of the recent Canada - U.S. ministers conference said: ". . . : members expressed their con- cern over possible Canadian measures which might ad- versely affect certain U.S. pub--- lications."'

Whether or not its- activities in Canada shou'd be curtailed is solely the business of the Canadian government. So, Mr. Pearson. will soon produce another plan, which still will not please the ' caucus or the country. £5 oa Time and Readers Digest will be permitted to continue ruin- ing Canadian magazines, pro- vided that they sell 30 per cent of their stock on the Canadian market. This proposal is just not good ®nough; it still will not make their publications into Canadian magazines. : Mike Pearson must screw his courage to the point-- which incidentally Dief our grief never achieved--and insist that alien magazines shall not murder Canadian contributions to our culture. Famed Dune Area Being Developed BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--A different recre- ation centre is being added to Ontario's notable chain of pro- vincial parks. Workmen are busy getting Sandbanks Park in- shape to handle visitors. The park really won't he ready this year, though it will be usable. But by next summer it should be one of our popular holiday spots. GREAT BEACH Sandbanks Park is different in that it is locatéd in the fabu- lous sand dunes on the Bay of Quinte, south of Trenton and Belleville. It will be a beach park, fea- turing a stretch of clear, fine white sand, five miles long. It is certainly one of the fin- est beaches in the province. But what makes it particu- larly interesting is the history behind its locale. The local PC member, Nor- ris Whitney, told the House about this during the session. ALL BURIED It seems that as long as 100 years ago this area of land, along the shore of the Quinte peninsula, was settled. And it was covered with trees, a mixed forest of hard- woods and cedar. Then the settlers started cut- ting the trees, and the under- lying sand slowly began to take over. ' Gradually the top soll was blown away, and the wind moved the sand more and more inland. Eventually the dunes--some of them now are 90 feet high-- were moving inwards at a rate of 40 feet a year. And nothing would stop them, The plantings, no matter how intense, didn't . work. Then in 1957 and all-out effort was launched. In addition to planting, snow fences and mulching with straw and brush were used. The inroads were halted. Amd a continuing program has meant that most of the moving sand areas have now been suc- cessfully planted. ALL BURIED Underneath all of this is-one tragedy. Years ago there was a small settlement at the south end of the peninsula. The sand moved against it and slowly smothered it, - It is still there, but some where beneath the dunes. It's all buried, houses, roads, a factory, even a hotel. The hotel must be the driest in all Ontario. make improvements use a mortgage Home improvements add beauty, convenience and value to your property.
