She Oshawa Tunes lished by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher ~ MONDAY, JUNE 8, 1964--PAGE 6 'Party Leaders Play - Ring-Around-Election It's rather amusing, in an ex- asperating way, to watch Prime Minister Pearson and Opposition Leader Diefenbaker play ring around the election. The prime minister declares, "The responsibility for an election remains now with the opposition." The opposition leader trumpets that "a general election on this question (the flag. will separate this coun- try for years and generations to come," and his party will fight against this maple leaf design but "we're not going to filibuster." It all sounds very statesman- like until the leaders start mud- slinging. Mr. Pearson blames the Tories for obstructing the work of Parliament and Mr. Diefenbaker reaches deep into the dirt for his charge that the members of the "gmall parties" think more of their $18,000-a-year salaries than they do of principle. And that is the level to which the flag issue has now fallen. Mr. Pearson is. as much to blame as anyone for the pitiful dis- play of the Commons. He has mis- handled the flag proposal and fail- ed to give the House the leadership it should get from a prime minister. Mr. Diefenbaker has no justi- fication for his outrageous charge against the "small parties". He is quite right when he says that an election on the flag issue would split the country. But he need not look beyond his own ranks and the government benches to see, for one reason or another, would not want to fight another election this year. Let us hope that the flag de- bate itself is conducted on a higher level. r] Bush Being Urbanized Provincial park administrators are bracing themselves for what will undoubtedly be the greatest in. flux of sightseers, campers and fish- ermen in history. Last year, Ontar- io recorded 840,000 campers, 371,275 park museum visitors, 61,647 na- ture trail users and 2,372,223 ve- hicle permits. With so many people using the parks, there is bound to be some evidence of their presence, but the "some", unfortunately, turns out to be much too much. Park rangers and maintenance men fight an expensive and unending battle to keep the litter under con- trol. The bush, according to one of- ficial of the Department of Lands and Forest, is being urbanized. Tons of litter were collected last year from canoe trails in Algonquin Park, Some of the things rangers salvage from the bush are reminis- eent of a city. dump -- twisted cop- per piping, sheet iron, inner. tubes, as well as the ever-present tin cans, bottles and similar refuse. There is no excuse for this sort of thing. Provincial park camp sites are well equipped with trash cans, as are picnic areas. Those who trav- el bush trails and camp away from organized sites could leave the bush clean with very few minutes work; cans can be pounded flat, and re- fuse buried. The litter-bugs do not seem to understand that they are spreading filth over their own pos- sessions -- but then, their homes may be just as dirty. The rush to the parks affects the environment of those parks, and one of these days the govern- ment may have to face the fact that the recreationist is over - grazing his pasture. The new Sandbanks _ park in Prince Edward county, for example, may force the government to consider the problem of control- led use. Heavy use of Sandbanks could destroy the precarious cover built up over several decades to keep the huge dunes from moving farther along the land. Growth Of Pipelines Some of the "most unusual" ideas for pipeline transportation are coming out of Canada, reports the Wall Street Journal. Pipelines, which now haul nearly one-fifth of US. freight, reduce costs to indus- try and consumer because the pro- duct. in effect transports itself by flowing through the pipe. "Since pipeline building is cheapest and most attractive across virgin country where existing transportation is scarce," says the Journal, "many of the more un- usual proposals for pipeline projects are coming out of Canada. Twenty- three Canadian companies repre- senting the pipeline, railroad, steel and mining industries are financing a $1 million project by the Research Council of Alberta to test several new kinds of pipelines. The council already has sent cylindical and spherical sealed capsules through a 70-mile section of a crude oil pipe- line. It hopes such capsules eventu- ally will transport much of Al- berta's wheat to market. "The council also is experi- menting on shipping chunks of coal She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

General Commodities Pipe Line, Ltd., of Calgary already has announced it intends to build a 600- mile pipeline from Edmonton to Vancouver to carry gypsum, coal and sulphur, if such tests pan out." Another project is a half-mile test line expected to be built in Montreal this summer, to float wood chips. One scientist has com- mented that if this project succeeds, pulp mills could use entire trees down to the smallest twig by chop- ping them into chips, rather than taking only logs as at present. In a long enough pipe line the chips would soak up enough water to turn at least partially into pulp, eliminating the soaking ponds that mills now use. Iron ore is another Canadian product that may move through pipelines. A New York metallurgical engineer told the Journal that he is currently design- ing for a Canadian firm a 60-mile line that will carry ore ground up and mixed with water. Canada is already a pipeline leader. A 2,300-mile line from Al- berta to Montreal is the world's longest natural gas line; and a 1,930-mile system from Edmonton to Toronto is the world's longest crude oil line. In the future, per- haps, both will carry some other commodities as paying passengers.

People carry- ing pipelines, no less! WANE DAY. td IN SOME WAY... To DECIDE ON sens se REPS PEA LEARNERS eooe ADISTINCT 5) "Big Load Carzied CANAD NOW THAT WE'VE GOT AROUND TO IT REPORT FROM U.K. Canadian Timber In Pre-Fab Homes By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The introduction of factory production line me- thods into the building of homes is going ahead at an acceler- ated pace, and it promises to have a profound effect on the British market for Cana- dian timber. The new methods are being adopted because they enable faster construction of homes, a greater volume of building and in. many cases, jower prices for the finished product. One building contractor who is making great strides forward in the production of factory- YOUR HEALTH built houses is John Laing. This is of considerable importance to Canadian timber exporters because this is the organization with which the Canadian gov- ernment has signed contracts for the building of Canadian- type timber homes in three sep- arate areas of Britain. This type of home, it is believed, lends itself to the factory pro- duction methods now being adopted by the John Laing Or- ganization. PLAN THREE PLANTS The John Laing Company is going ahead with the erection of three factories, each of which will cost 1,500,000 dollars. In these, standardized components for factory-type homes will be Questions Posed Before Marriage By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I plan to marry in a few months and would like some questions an- ewered. Do you recommend a pre- marital physical? Should t he couple go to the same doctor at the same time? How soon before the wedding should this take place? What is your opinion on the birth control pills and are they safe? How soon before the mar- riage should the pills be taken, or should they be started at that time?--MISS M.S. In too many cases compul- sory "examination" is some- thing of a farce--a blood test to rule out syphilis. Veneral disease isn't the only thing that can be devastating to a marriage. Tuberculosis, diabetes, nervous and mental disorders can ruin a marriage or a life. Examination will de- tect many of these. After all, it doesn't require much more time for a doctor to make suitable inquiries about general health, check the chest and take a urine sample (for a diabetes test) than it does just to take a blood sample for the 'syphilis' test. In addition, a chest X-ray is highly desirable. An engaged couple may go to the same or to a different doc- tor, or at separate times. It is my hope that you. both will have doctors who are ready to answer questions, particu- larly sexual ones, which may be bothering either a man or woman. (True, some young people pretend to know all the answers already, and perhaps they do, but for many an in- quiry or two may remove some needless worry.) And, while I express hopes that the doctor will leave the door open for questions, it is up to the PATIENT to ask them. Birth control pills are proving to be very satisfactory. Occa- sionally a woman will have un- pleasant side effects, in which case the pills should be discon- tinued, but this is not common. They. are, however, safe when used with this in mind. For special instruction, that is best left to the doctor, but they should be started no later than five days after the period preceding the marriage. All people about to be mar- ried should have examinations. A lot of trouble can be avoided as a result. Dear Dr. Molner: A friend told me that if a male gets mumos after the age of 12. he ' Riley, can't be a father. Do mumps have this effect?--E.B. Your friend overstated the case. Mumps, especially in an adult, MAY impair or destroy fertility if both testes are af- fected. That's a far cry from saying that it always WILL happen. Mumps may 2ffect only one testicle--in this case the male is still fertile. Dear Dr. Molner: I recently had an operation on my neck to remove a lump in or near the thyroid, It was diagnosed as Hashimoto's struma. It was not malignant. Is there a chance of its spreading or re- turning?--G.C.P. Hashimoto's disease is-a form of thyroiditis--inflammation of the thyroid gland. "Struma" means a lump or goiter. The condition is not regarded as malignant, and will not re- turn if the affected tissue in'the thyroid has been removed, fagricated, taken to the build- ing site ang assembled into the completed dwelling house. These factories are to be lo- cated at widely-separated points -- at Andover in Hampshire, Heywood, Lancashire and in the new town of Livingston near Edinburgh, Scotland. These are areas in which extensive home development is planned for the immediate future.. The factory at Livingstone, for in- stance, will start on a contract worth nine million dollars for the building of 1000 homes at Livingston for the development corporation of the new town. Working on a double shift, this plant, using automated pro- cesses, will be able to turn out the components for more than 2500 homes a year. These can be either single detached homes, or anything up to 16- storey apartment blocks. As the contract signed by the Canadian government with the John Laing Company. calls for the building of demonstration Canadian-type timber homes in the Sighthil] suburb of Edin- burgh, the materials for these are likely to be processed and pre-fabricated at the Livingston factory. OTHER FIRMS, TOO Other firms producing fac- tory - type homes are also ex- panding rapidly. Major housing estates of this type are being erected in the London area, at Liverpool, Glasgow and many other towns. A London County Council scheme for the building of 560 apartments on the factory pro- duction line plan is now in full stride at Wollwich, and the first of the 10-storey blocks be- ing erected in the London area, at Liverpool, Glasgow and many other towns. A London County Council scheme for the building. of 560 apartments on the factory pro- duction line plan is now in full stride at Woolwich, and the first of the 10-storey blocks be- ing erected there is nearing its top storey. The LCC's order for this type of apartment, being built by the Taylor Woodrow- Anglican Company, is bein gin- creased to a total of 2000 homes. In the second phase of this project, there will be higher apartment blocks, rising to probably 21 stories in height. Methods have been developed by which even huge structures of this size can be erected under the factory production line sys- tem. BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO June A Chfid Health Clinic was of- ficially opened in North Oshawa school. Ewart §. Alger, well-known resident of Oshawa, became president of the Downtown To- ronto Progress Club. He had been connected with the club's activities for several years. A. J. Graves, honorary chap- lain of Branch 43, Canadian Le-- gion, celebrated his 80th birih- day. Delegates from the province attended the annual conference of the Grand Lodge of Ontario Knights of Pythias and the Pythian Sisters, held in Gen- osha Hotel. Rev. Donovan Jones, pastor of Albert Street United Church, was speaker for the occasion. Peter E. Willson, graduate of the Ontario College of Dentistry, opened a dental practice in Osh- awa, ( A new organ was dedicated at Christ Memorial Anglican Church by the Very Rev. C. E. Dean of Toronto. W. George Rapley, church organist and choirmaster, played several numbers for the occasion. 8, 1949 Mrs. J. H. Valleau was re- turned to office as president of the Home and School Council at its annual meeting. Albert Twaites retired with a record of 27 years' service as Oshawa postman. George Russell was elected President of the Oshawa Kins- men Club. Jack Risebrough and Harold Roughley were named vice-presidents; Henry Reed, secretary, and George Snyder, treasurer. Plans to organize a ladies' softball league in city parks was discussed at a meeting of the Central Council of Neighborhood Associations, Diana Burns graduated in Health and Physical Education with honor standing at the Uni- versity of Toronto, and was awarded -the Emma_ Scott Nasmith Gold Medal. William M. Pringle of Com- posite Lodge AF and AM, Whit- by,, was presented with a "50- year Medal". RW Bro. G. M. Goodfellow made the presenta- tion on behalf of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Prov- ince of Ontario. OTTAWA REPORT By Deputy Speaker -- By PATRICK NICHULSON OTTAWA--The loneliest man on Parliament Hill is the "ref- eree" of the Commons' debates, Deputy-Speaker Lucien Lamou- Teux. He must not jeopardize his justly-earned reputation for im- partiality in the Speaker's chair, so he cannot participate in the secret caucus meetings of the Liberal party, although he was elected to represent the Ontario constituency of Stor- mont as a candidate of that party. Too much hobnobbing with MPs of any party might be mis- construed as conspiracy, so he is driven into solitariness. His special role in the Com- mon calls for his continuous availability until normal ad- journment hours: 10:30 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thurs- days, and 6 p.m. on Wednes- days and Fridays. QUEEN'S PARK So, alone among MPs, he is virtually precluded from accept- ing social invitations away from Parliament Hill, even briefly in the dinnertime adjournment be- twee 6 and 8 p.m., because ths would entail] the time-consum- ing task of changing out of his Speaker's uniform and then back into it, he explained to me. ALWAYS IN COMMONS Lucien Lamoureux is carrying a load unusually heavy for a Deputy Speaker. Except during the question hour at the opening of each day's sitting, he is the workh tho §=spends This is because Speaker Alan Macnaughton is busying him- self with the updating of the « rules of procedure, devoting most of his time to this after presiding over the question hour, and relying on his deputy a over subsequent de- ates. Bright Young Man _ Displays Ability BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Clare Westcott is a bright young man and a shrewd politician. Mr. Westcott had served some years as an organizer for the PC party and was brought into the government by Robert Mac- aulay. He served this rare dynamo as executive assistant. Then shortly before Mr. Mac- aulay was getting out, nerves a bit tattered but still breath- ing fast, he switched over to Education Minister Bill Davis. And he serves as the ball of fire who breaks the field for this also very energetic, if not so high-spirited minister. And, principally due to this some 43 people of athletics from across the province a few days ago found themselves in the main chamber being pre- sented with athletic achieve- ment awards--formally, certifi- cate for "achievement for sig- nificant contribution to fitness and amateur sport' in the prov- ince, HIS DREAM This was pure Westcott.

LETTER TO PM Dear Sir: The following letter has been sent to Prime Minister Pearson: "The undersigned Lodge of the Ladies Orange Benevolent Association duly moved and re- solved, we petition you, Mr. Prime Minister, and the Govy- ernment of the Dominion of + a in respect to Canada's it ag.

PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM The name given to the latest- discovered particle in the atom is "omaga minus", which would seem to indicate that it's the latest word in nothingness. The reason a lot of people can't make ends meet is that they spread out too. much. It is doubted if there will ever be a Satisfactory distribu- tion of parking space or wealth. "Physicists are nearing suc- cess in learning how the uni- verse came into being", says a scientist. Even if they succeed, though, it's too late to do any- thing about it. Clothes make the woman, too, and skimpy summer apparel, inchiding tight slacks, show how the woman is made. It's said that religion and politics won't mix, but what passes for religion often mixes with politics. the awards was given to Mr. Davis. But this had the -unmistake- able mark of a Westcott dream + .. a combination of showman- ship, lots of publicity value, and basically a good idea and a good thing. And done big-time. Bruce Kidd was there along with Marlene Stewart, George Duthie of the CNE and leaders and athletes from ail parts of the -provnce. And naturally all- were very proud to be there. NO EGREES ' I think you can find a moral --or perhaps an object lesson-- in this. There isn't any question that Mr. Westcott is one of the top men in the civil service. Some people on an all-round basis--brains, initiative, imagi- naton, dedication and under- standing of the role of govern- ment with the people -- would pick him as the best. He is now in high places in our affairs of education, Yet, he himself is not highly educated--in a formal. way. The only letters he could carry after his name would be EPHW--Electrician Hard Way. He started out as a lineman on construction with Hydro. Yet he has about three times the savvy -- and probably the general knowledge--of at. least a few people in this House who carry university degrees and boast of them to the point of pontification. He hasn't needed higher for- mal education. However, you had better still send your boy to college: For Mr. Westcott is being paid only about half what he is worth, while others with degrees are being paid twice what they earn, GALLUP POLL fe : i uf q i : A i BFS Fe Ht &3 22 4 eee i & oe Be salary of $6,000 as Deputy, - Speaker, plus an allowance of $1,500 in place of apartments, This last item is a hangover of tradition from days before the: great fire of 1917 which de stroyed our Parliament Build- ing. The Speaker and his' Dep- uty used to be provided bush. As he has already made a good reputation for himself, it can be reasonably assumed that in some future Parliament he will be elected as Speaker. Thereafter, he might progress either to a seat in the cabinet or to a senatorship, as several of his predecessors have done; or if he is unlucky enough not to win the approval of the then prime minister by his perform- ance as Speaker, he might be left just to roam into outer darkness as happened recently to the luckless Speaker Roly Michener, Meanwhile, life brings pleas- ure and honor to the young Cornwall barrister. Oddly enough, when elected to Parliament only two years ago, he came a mere 70 miles from his home in Cornwall, back to the city where he was born, the city where he went to university, and the city where he worked for nine years after graduating from law school. For between 1945 and 1954 he served here as private secre- tary to Hon. Lionel Chevrier who, as Liberal MP for Stor- mont was during those years a minister in the cabinet of Prime Minister Mackenzie King. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 8, 1964... In what was hailed as the first "official use of mis " siles by any post office de- partment of any nation," a Regulus I guided missile carrying 3,000 letters was launched by a U.S. subma- rine 100 miles off the Florida coast five years ago today--in 1959. The missile, guided at first by a six- member crew aboard the sub and then by a plane which guided it to land, touched down safely near Jacksonville, Fla., 22 min- utes after launching. 1815 -- The Congress of Vienna ended. 1930--King Carol returned to the throne of Romania. Six-City Survey Gives Edge To Pearson Flag By si 8 THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE Of PUBLIC OPINION « (World(Copyright Reserved) . From a six-city survey, two days after Prime Minister L. B. Pearson presented his choice of a new flag design, the Gallup Poll established that 63 per cent of urban dwellers approve the Maple Leaf flag and only 30 per cent disapprove. The rest are indifferent. A precise sample was design- ed to sound out citizens in Hali- fax, Montreal, Toronto, Winni- peg, Edmonton and Vancouver. Greatest disapproval of. the new flag is found in Edmonton --nearly six in ten. Not un- expectedly, greatest approval is a Montreal -- almost eight in In Toronto, Montreal and Van- couver a majority say they like Mr. Pearson's Maple Leaves, especially in Vancouver where about seven in ten approve. In the other cities -- Halifax, Win- nipeg and Edmonton -- a major- ity are against it. Two questions were asked in this Poll. First, it was neces- sary to establish how aware Canadians are of the new flag. Almost nine in ten -- 89 per cent -- said they had seen re- productions of the flag. The rest had not.
