ee Om NEE She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontarie T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JULY 13, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Council's Business _ Too Often In Committee Elected representatives of a municipality have a legal right to reasonable privacy when discussing civic business, but there should be a limit to such things -- these men and women are not running a pri- vate corporation but a public busi- ness in which thousands of taxpay- ers have a vested interest. Storm signals to the effect that councils and school boards in On- tario have been conducting too much business in private have been both consistant and disturbing of late, coming as they do from re- sponsible spokesmen at municipal conventions. The most disturbing aspect of all is that few elected representatives at the municipal level seem to care not a whit about such charges; as a matter of. fact when Gordon Gar- rison, president of Lakeland Broad- casting, bluntly told Oshawa City Council (via letter read in open Council) it was conducting so much business in committee the open ses- sions had little sense or meaning to the public, our elected representa- tives were unmoved; not one of them rose to refute this statement. Oshawa's city Council thus pub- licly admitted the truth of Mr. Gar- rison's most serious charge; by their mere silence, they said, in effect; "So what? Nobody cares much what we do, regardless; and we are able to work more effective- ly, with less interference, in the comparative quiet (and secrecy) of the committee room". The sad part of it is, they are about right, but not quite. This may be an entirely satis- factory arrangement for the alder- men, help to expedite business more quickly in an atmosphere receptive to frank expressions of thought (without offending large vote blocks); but it is fraught with danger, produces distrust, suspic- ion where none should possibly ex- ist. It is not only, bad for the elec- torate, it is bad for the aldermen themselves; but isn't this exactly what happens when elected repre- sentatives have been in public offi- ce far too long? Do they not grow apathetic, sluggish like sacred cows who have had things their own way far too long? In all fairness to City Council (which, like all councils, is con- stantly subjected to constant har- pooning from loud-noise. groups and individuals) it does admit the Press to the majority of its committee meetings; but sometimes they are called unexpectedly and, regardless, . publication of such meetings is re- stricted;' all of which is getting away from the complaint, which is that City Council conducts too much of its business these days in the committee room instead of in open Council where the public can follow proceedings more closely. "Fact" Fiasco Revealed "In 1947, Mackenzie King cele- brated his 20th year as Conserva- tive Prime Minister, but the follow- ing year was defeated by the Liberal Louis St. Laurent." No, this quotation isn't a whim- sical gag, says the Oakville Journal Record. Nor is it from an exam paper by a collector of student bloopers. It is a statement of historic "fact" published in a textbook cir- culated in British Columbia schools. This statement was not caught and corrected until the textbook had been in circulation for. several months. Investigation discloses that the book was written by an economics professor in England and was published by a firm in the United States. And this is not the first time that Briish Columbia has selected U.S. textbooks in prefer- ence to those written and published in Canada. It is little wonder that many Canadians have protested that our history is dull and colorless -- if provincial departments of education adopt such a remarkable approach to the subject in the school curri- culum. It is high time, in the face of such a ghastly misstatement of fact, that provincial authorities and Canadian publishers should get down to cases and establish accu- rate, interest-seeking standards where the presentation of our na- tional history is concerned. Some time ago, Ontario's Edu- cation Minister, Hon. William Davis, was alarmed over the re- sults of a spot history quiz given selected groups of \students. Mr. Davis pledged a stepped-up effort to place Canadian history in its proper perspective for our younger people. It is to be fervently hoped that his example will be noted by his counterparts across the nation, and that never again will there be a repetition of the B.C. fiasco. Laws Reduce Freedom New York State has passed two laws that add to the belief that organized crime has never been as bad as it is today, says The Hamil- ton Spectator. One law allows police to stop and question in a public place anyone suspected of a serious crime or of intent to commit one. The suspect can also be searched for a weapon. The other law permits police, armed with a search warrant and court permission, to enter buildings or homes without first knocking or announcing their presence. Both these laws may be neces- She Oshawa Fines. T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

For instance, what is to prevent any policeman from interpreting these laws in such a way as to enable him to harass any citizen he happens to dislike? If suspicion is all that is necessary in order to search a citizen, it is easy to see that some citizens could be harassed beyond endurance. Here in Ontario the police can search buildings or homes if they have a search warrant or a court order. However, they are supposed to announce their presence, even before they break down a door. Insofar as stopping and searching a citizen in a public place, our police usually do so if they have evidence to believe said citizen is in the course of committing a crime. How- ever, they cannot search or ques- tion him willy-nilly. Ordinarily, the suspect must first be charged with some breach of law. As the halitosis of organized crime becomes more and more noticeable, the: public is going to become more and more willing to have some of its freedoms watered down as.a means to a necessary end, believes The Spectator. Never- theless, if the police do not use the new laws wisely, the public, through their elected representa- tives, must quickly change them. REPORT FROM U.K. Disillusionment Awaits Students By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times GLASGOW, Scotland -- A few days ago, some 200 Scottish stu- dents from Glasgow University, flew off in chartered planes for Canada, where they will spend their 10 weeks of holidays filling a wide variety of jobs which they had secured before their applications for the flight were accepted. All the arrangements for their prospective jobs in Canada, and for their flight from Prestwick to Montreal were made for them by the Glasgow University America's Club, acting in conjunction with a Scottish travel agency. According to the club offi- cials who have organized the trip, there is a wide variety in the type of jobs which will be undertaken by these 200 stu- dents during their 10 weeks holi- day trip to Canada. Judging from the list, it will be a hard- working holiday for most of them. VARIED JOBS Included in the list of occu- pations at which. thsee students will work are bellboys, chauf- feurs, croupiers, barmen, ser- vice station attendants, labora- tory technicians, firefighters, dishwashers and lumberjacks. One student, for instance, has signed up to work as a waiter on the Overland Express train service between Toronto and Winnipeg. According to him, he will earn $105 a week for this job. He says that the round trip from Toronto to Winnipeg and back will take four days. For the rest of the week he expects to be booked in at one of the railways company's lux- ury hotels. In effect, according to his estimate, he will be re- ceiving $105 for four days work. As one who has lived most of his life in Canada, I doubt the authenticity of this, young man's expectation, and have some ,fear he may be disappointed. Two other students reported: that they have made an agree- ment to work as caddies at an exclusive golf club and will re- ceive $75 a week, plus their tips, which they expect will raise their earnings to $120 a week. GIRLS, TOO ' Girl students who are includ- ed in the party of 200 claim that they will do very well dur- ing their 10-week stay in Can- ada. With a shortage of steno- graphers in Canada, they have jobs all arranged for them, and some of them expect to receive about $90 a week. Apparently the salary rate for stenograph- ers must have risen a great deal since I left Canada a lit- tle over six years ago. The highest wages claimed are those which are expected YOUR HEALTH Blood-Letting by a handful of students who will pick worms in the dead of night on golf courses. Dew worms, the favorite bait of Ca- nadian ifshermen, they have been told, can only be gathered at night. The students will hunt for them equipped with buck- ets and torches. For this work, the report says, they are to re- ceive around $200 a week. Some who will work at selling hot dogs at baseball games will be paid up to $3. an hour. A few lucky young men will tour Canada for nothing. They have been fixed up with jobs de- livering cars. The story re- garding them is that they won't be paid, but will be supplied with free gasoline, but they can take their own time in deliver- ing the cars. Frankly, I have grave doubts about some of these expecta- tions. They just do not fall in line with what I know of Ca- nadian life and. work. And I am very much afraid that some of these students will be return- ing from Canada rather disil- lusioned. Checks Disease By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Our 'son has polycythemia; which the doctor relieves by occasional blood-letting. What causes the disease and what can be done for permanent cure?--Mrs. D.A. Polycythemia means an un- usually high red blood count-- more red cells than the blood needs or should have. Causes vary quite consider- ably--and there is also poly- cythemia vera, of which the cause is unknown. The more frequently known causes are: Congenital heart defects. This is the most likely cause in young people; as a rule, poly- cythemia is rare under the age of 30, and is more usually seen after 50. men two to one.)

The Storrar-Dunbrick Com- pany officially opened its new brick plant in North Oshawa. Among those present were, Reeve W. E. Noble of East Whitby, George Finlay, J. J. Fleming, Alex B. Ross, A. R. Huestis, Len Coulson, Douglas Garrard, J. H. McDiarmaid and T. K. Creighton. About' 30 air cadets of the Oshawa "Chadburn" squadron, under the direction of Lt. C. R. Hill, left for training camp at Aylmer, Ont. Dean McLaughlin, of Oshawa, retained his Ontario horseshoe pitching championship in a fine victory at Toronto. Walter C. Thomson, KC, MP, laid the cornerstone of the new oe Church in Picker- ig. The city engineer issued 65 building permits valued at $131,270 during the month of June, This compared with a total of $529,550 for the 125 permits issued in May. The 168th District of Rotary International annual meeting was held at Ontario Ladies' College, Whitby. The delegates were entertained at dinner by the Oshawa Rotary Club Forty lodges and 20 bands of Ontario took part in the Orange parade held in Oshawa. Mrs. Jean Magill McNab, of Oshawa, was guest soloist at the Oshawa. Civic and Regi- mental Band concert, under the direction of Jack Broadbent, at the Band-shell. Alan G. Quin, recreational director for the CRA, was master of cere- monies. A 10-year-old cactus, owned by Mrs. J. E. Hamilton, Montrave avenue, bloomed in June with a total of 38 buds and blooms, A 28-foot houseboat built by Vincent Otto, Warren avenue, during his spare time, was launched for'the first time in Lake Scugog. A trailer boat, won in a draw on the final night of Old Home Week celebration, was pre- sented to Mrs. W. J. Tweedie, Robson street, by William Dun- ean, general chairman. (It predominates in - high blood count. Cysts of the kidney. High altitudes, Blood - letting and a conse- quent thinning of the blood con- tinue to be the standard pro- cedure for polycythemia. Oc- casionally this alone is suffi- cient to hold the condition in abeyance. Currently, it is quite com- mon to use radioactive phos- phorus and x-ray treatment of the long bones of the body, along with periodic blood-let- ting. These treatments are de- signed to suppress the forma- tion of red blood cells in the bone marrow. This combination of treat- ments affords longer remis- sions (periods. when the blood Temaing reasonably normal) and a more comfortable life for the patient, These techniques are not ex- actly simple, of course, and hence are not available in every community, particularly small ones. However, there are many medical centres, and usually by travelling a moderate dis- tance you can reach such a place. A periodic trip for such treatment may be well worth the effort. You would, of course; want your local physician to keep an eye on the case, be- tween visits. I can't be very specific about @ permanet cure, because that depends so much on the under- lying cause--if known. Some cases must be accepted as a condition to be kept under con- trol rather than to be cured.

READERS' VIEWS CARE OF DOGS Dear Sir: At this time of year many dogs will be taken to summer cottages where they may run into porcupines, Here is a pain- less way to relieve dogs of the quills they may acquire, If the ends of the quills are cut off with scissors the suction is releashed and the quills drop out. They should never be drawn out with pinchers, for there is a hook on the eng of each quill and this brings flesh with it, and is excruciatingly painful for the dog. Readers, please see that your dog has shade and a dish of cool water these hot days. It is bad enough for man's best friend to endure the unnatural life of being tied up, without also suffering from thirst and left in the boiling sun. Remember, he would gladly give his life for you! Surely it is not too much trouble for you to do whatever you can to make his existence more bearable. Animal Lover. Whitby. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 13, 1964... A conference between the United States and Canada perpetuated the Rush-Bagot Treaty concerning arma-~ ment on the Great Lakes 42 years ago today--in 1922. The original agreement, signed in 1817, was drawn up by Richard Rush of the U.S. and Charles Bagot of England and limited the number and. size of war- ships on the lakes. The agreement has since been modified to permit the con- struction of larger vessels on the lakes. 1762--Czar Peter III was dethroned in a coup in Rus- sia. 1953 -- The first Shake- spearean festival opened at Stratford, Ont. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM The only ship that will come in if you don't do anything but sit around and wait for it is hardship. A terribly passimistic state- ment was made the other day by an editor, He said that people are about alike the world over. "The average person's speak> ing vocabulary is jeas than 4,000 words," says an educator, Still, that's an ample vocabulary for talking shop, gossiping, making remarks about the weather, and giving tedious accounts of petty personal affairs The average confirmed bache- lor contributed to the happiness of a number of women -- by not marrying them, We should be charitable and tolerant towards the inhabi- tants of this world, bearing in mind that not a single one of them asked to come to this place.

EESECEP RP YH 24 Parliament Needs Bay Street Boys By PATRICK NICHULSON OTTAWA -- Applicants for well-paid executive jobs are sought by several pages of ad- vertisements in the current is- sue of a prominent weekly paper of financial and business news, One advertisement which should have caught the eye of any middle-aged Bay Street Boy is: "Executive vice - presidency of nationally known operation. Qualifications sought; adminis. trative competence, leadership, personal integrity and ability to get along with others; orator- ica] skill an advantage. Remun- eration $37,000 per year plus $8,000 unaccountable tax - free allowance. | Fringe benefits in- clude use of private plane and private railroad car; country mansion with private lake; fur- nished town house fully main- tained and staffed and sup- plied with food for nominal (two - figure) weekly charge; pension of $16,667 after four years. Job renewable if success demonstrated," I say that advertisement should have caught the eye... of course it did not, because it is now being canvassed not in writing but by word of mouth; applications may be sought shortly. The formal description of the job is "Prime Minister of Can- ada." HARD-TO-FILL JOB It is many years since. this job was filled by an applicant suitable in his own right, Mr. st. Laurent proved satisfactory because he surrounded himself with competent advisers; Mr. Diefenbaker was judged unsat- isfactory largely because he didn't; Mr, Pearson is proving unsatisfactory because he has around him some sources of very questionable advice. This suggests that it is a tough job to fill. It is tough only in that the work load entails long hours. But it could be a most rewarding job for the right applicant, Strangely enough in this age when "skilled workers: only need ap- ply', this job calls for no skills peculiar to itself. But it does, "and increasingly, require ad- ministrative ability, judgment and those other not rare talents listed above. Such skills are commonly ex- hibited by Canadians who at- tain success in a business ca- reer. Success can be measured by cash reward, Income tax Statistics indicate that there are 3,606 millionaires in Canada today, nearly all of whom have made their million themselves. A reasonable estimate would be that two-thirds of those are now over 50, and so find their family responsibilities shrink- ing. Those could now afford the financial sacrifice entailed in droppng from their big busi- ness earnings, and could patri- otically devote part of their working life and all their ac- cumulated skills to assist oper- ate the largest business in Can- ada, the federal government, either as executive vice-presi- dent (prime, minister) or as executive directors (cabi- net ministers). WHO IS PATRIOTIC? Yet such is the lack of public spirit among our industrial ty- coons that such men in our House of Commons today could probably be counted on the thumb of one hand. In all, there are 265 jobs in our House of Commons, many of which should be up for grabs in view of the performance by their present holders. These jobs pay on average $23,790 per year before tax, or 25 per cent more than the $18,136 ave earnings of our highest paid , occupational group in Canada-- physicians and surgeons; they * also carry Canada's most gen- erous pension scheme and nue merous tax-free fringe benefits, , Parliament Hill indeed pre- sents a job opportunity which should be studied with thought in every corporation board room in Canada. Obviously many of our present "'profes- sional politicians" are not han- dling the job in the best inter- ests of Canada. I believe that Parliament needs an infusion of Bay Street boys, who have proved their ability to manage organizations smoothly, economically and ef+ ficently. / pedical firror Yang SUNTAN SAFETY. Q.
