She Oshawa Crnes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Oshawa Fair Planning For A Big "New Look' _ This is traditionally the time of year when optimistic reports are circulated about the annual fair of the South Ontario Agricultural So- ciety, sometimes known as the Osh- - awa Fair. These reports, released by the management, usually paint a rosy picture of the fair's future, especi- ally the upcoming fair, as if to in- dicate that most of the problems of the past have been overcome, that the road from here on in will be pretty smooth. We hope they have. Such optimism, however inspir- ing at the time, can wear thin with the passage of the years, especially when the Fair constantly fails to live up to the expectations of the people who support it. 'The Oshawa Fair, potentially, should be one of the finest attrac- tions of its kind in the world of On- tario's fall fairs; but it constantly falls flat of this elusive goal, what- ever the reason, if its financial pic- ture has improved slightly in the past two or three years. : In all fairness to the fair's con- scientious directorate -- it has taken a big step forward to plug one of the more glaring holes of the past, which was the lack of an even flow of publicity releases to news Civil Rights ivil Righ There are may reasos for admir- ing the idealism and courage of the young Americans who have journ- eyed to the state of Mississippi this summer to focus attention on the unsolved. civil-rights problems of that area. There are serious ques- tions whether these tactics are wise or will be effective, notes the Chris- tian Science Monitor. The summer crusade is at best a ealculated risk. Its purpose is basic- ally to focus national attention on the denials of civil rights in Miss- issippi so sharply as to bring about ehange, both through response in Mississippi itself and through fed- eral action. The tactics of the young people are scrupulously nonviolent. This gives them a moral validity in which there is much to admire. It does not make them any the less provocative to Southerners. The very "invasion" from the North is itself a kind of provocation, justi- fied in law and ethics but pro- foundly irritating in human rela- tions. The provocation helps to pro- duce a violent reaction from a few in the South often appalling in its brutality, It is especially dreadful when the violence -- one can ac- eurately say terrorism -- is carried on or condoned by local law-en- forcement officials. Should the young people have gone to the South? Will their tac- tics in fact really advance the cause of civil rights? It is too early to tell. Perhaps this kind of crusade will indeed awaken the nation more fully to the repressive power structure which exists in some parts of the country. National gov- ernment at the judicial, legislative, and executive levels has said that such repressions must end. Na- tional power is inevitably being used to try and end them.

This is to be corrected in the near future.. Another progress step to give the fair a new look was the appoint- ment of a Publicity and Promotion committee (all. of whom were elec- ted associate directors) ; primarily this group was selected to give the fair some much-needed new blood, long a missing factor in its make- up. Local firms and organizations were invited to name delegates to the. Publicity and Promoting com- mittee, composed of representatives from such groups as Local 222, UAW-CLC, the Ontario Motor League, the Oshawa C of C, Radio Station CKLB and The Oshawa Times. These newcomers were invited to suggest projects, events and chang- es to brighten up the fair, make it more attractive to townsfolk, as well as agriculture lovers. Several innovations will be introduced (such as a Miss Oshawa Fair beau- ty contest, ethnic group dancing, old-time fiddlers' contest, etc.) It is encouraging to see that eth- nic dancing has been introduced, because the ethnic groups are need- ed to make the fair a success. We wish the fair well, despite some pessimistic notes, because it could provide a great need for city, as well as rural folk, Crusade ion to be adverse to the youth ef- forts in Mississippi by a two-to-one margin. Following the apparent tragedy at Philadelphia, Miss., there has seemed to be some calm- ing down on both sides. The early stages of aplication of the civil- rights law have been encouraging in the area of public accommoda- tion. It may. be that Mississippi opinion generally will tolerate the Northern visitors for the rest of the summer, expecting the situation to revert to the status quo ante thereafter. But the long-range problem re- mains. Just what is the most effec- tive mixture of pressure and un- derstanding which will help heal the. entire civil-rights problem, North and South? Pressure there must be. Understanding there must be. Laws are needed, enforcement is needed. Public opinion, locas regional, and national, remains crucial. The ultimate change forth- coming from pressure and from un- derstanding, from law and from love, must come in the hearts of men and women. We hope Southerners will respect the motives of their uninvited guests which come from deep well- springs of humanitarian concern. We hope they will try to overlook the obvious offense whipped into the face of a proud people. But we hope the young Northerners will also remember that they are chal- lenging a long-standing way of life in which there has been much kindness and affection as well as much. opression. We hope they will realize they are confronting fear and pride, which do not neces- sarily yield to challenge and to moral certitudes. For the moral certitudes -- however subjective-- are not all on one side. The situation must be_ healed, says the Monitor. We hope all con- cerned will choose the very best methods for ultimate healing. Other Editors' Views SOON IT WILL BE CRUTCHES (Port Arthur News-Chronicle) Plans for a new public school in one of Canada's bigger cities in- clude provision of escalators for pupils. There are few, if any, three- storey schools being built now. In any event children have been climb- ing stairs to their classes for years and their legs do not seem to have given out. With escalators now, and school buses which are in general use, a special athletic program will likely be needed for development of legs. NOT EXACTLY A LOVE SEAT REPORT FROM U.K. Two Shipbuilders Seeking Contract By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent To The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Within the next few weeks, tenders will be call- 'ed for the new Cunard trans- Atlantic liner which is to be built as a replacement for the Queen Mary. There will be keen competition for the contract for this vessel, which will be one of 58,000 tons, and is expected to cost in the neighborhood of $66 million towards which the gov- ernment has undertaken to pro- vide a loan of $54 million. Two of Britain's major ship- builders are likely to be leaders in the fight to secure this juicy order. They are the John Brown YOUR HEALTH Company of Clydebank in Scot- land, and the Swan-Turner and Armstrong consortium of Tyne- side, It will be entirely a matter of price that will decide which firm will get the order, and it is understood that John Brown's are willing to take, the contract even at a loss so as to keep their yard fully employed. NEW FEATURES The new Cunard liner will have some interesting features which has not previously been adopted in Trans-Atlantic pas- senger vessels. For instance, all the passengers who sail on this ship when it goes into service will be able to dine with a full view of the 'sea. This is some- Arthritis Can Be Of Many Varieties By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What is the difference between arthritis and bone degeneration? Does the former cause the latter? Can sodium salicylate (10 gr.) be taken twice a day indefinitely with no harmful effects--?Mrs. A.G.O. Both of the terms (arthritis and bone degeneration) are gen- eral and cover a multitude of conditions. Osteoarthritis, in fact, is often called degenerative arthritis. Essentially, wear*and tear on the joints, over a period of many years, reduces the pads or "bearings" of cartilage, and the ends of the bones change shape. The result--thick pain- ful, stiffened joints. Or osteo- arthritis. We customarily use 'bone de- generation" for other meanings, however. Loss of calcium is one --osteoporosis, or a weakening of the bone texture. It has noth- ing to do with arthritis directly. (Osteoporosis is more frequent in women than in men; it-tends to appear after menopause rather than before.) Arthritis can be of many va- rieties, and some of them re- quire entirely different treat- ment. Acute theumatoid arth- ritis calls for prompt and care- ful treatment, including drugs, bed rest and mild, skilled phy- siotherapy. Gouty arthritis, be- ing a result of gout, requires continued drug therapy. Arth- ritis resulting from infections is best treated by antibiotics. And 80 On. Bone degeneration also means a variety of things. Osteoparo- sis is one. It's important to remember that these are general classifi- cations, It is then neeessary to know what kind of arthritis (or bone degeneration) is involved, so you can choose an appropri- ate treatment, The sodium salicylate is not an excessive dosage. Consider- ably larger ones have been taken for 'many, many years without harm. Dear Dr. Molner: Is it true that formaldehyde is put in milk during the pasteurization pro- cess I have just been told that this is the case.--D.G. No, this is absolutely untrue. Pasteurization consists solely of heating milk (or sometimes other foods) to a moderate tem- perature which destroys bac- teria. It is, in fact, against the law to add any harmful chemicals to foods, and that takes care of this rumor about formaldehyde. Dear Dr. Molner: My 15-year- old daughter has had an ulcer of the duodenum for two years. She has taken medicine and watched her diet but it still hasn't healed. What is your opinion of the new freezing method? Maybe you may have heard of this doctor who dis- covered the method--Mrs. V.S. Yes, I've heard and read a lot about this method, and I re- spect the brilliant mind which developed the idea. But it is no magic panacea, It entails some risk, requires very specialized skill, cannot be guaranteed to succeed for every- body, and it is not an easy way to let people with ulcers ignore their diets and other methods of preventing new ulcers from forming. It doesnt' give you a brand new stomach or duode- num. The method should be used only in carefully selected cases. thing new in Trans-Atlantlic ships. In the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, and the other Cunard liners, the restaurants are situated on a lower deck. Those who wish to dine with a sea view have to pay an extra cover charge to dine in the Veranda Grill, So the sea-view dining rooms form one of the new features of the coming Cunarder, THRFEE-CLASS SHIP One important decision an- nounced by the Cunard Steam- ship Company is that it will be a three-class ship, although other Atlantic shipping lines have favored the two-class ves- sel in recent years, The Cunard Line gives three of its reasons for building a three-class_ ship. First is the consistent and con- tinuing demand for cabin class accommodation. Next, the three- class produces higher revenue. And third is the proven fact that there is a large public who can- not afford first-class passages, but who welcome a middle class, ROOM AMENITIES In the new Cunard liner, all rooms for the 2,000 passengers will have private baths or show- ers and toilets. Each class, first, cabin and tourist, will have its own deck of public rooms. The ship, however, will be built so that it can easily be converted into a two-class liner for cruising during the winter months, Tenders are expected to' be called in late July or early August, and the order for build- ing will be placed in December. The launching is expected about the middle of 1966, so that it can be ready for the Atlantic route service early in 1968, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July~iv, 1964... Although it was a closely kept secret, the first atomic bomb was exploded 19 years ago today--in 1945--above the desret near the Alama- gordo Air Force base in New Mexico. The details of the explosion were an- nounced only after the drop- ping of atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiro- shima and Nagasaki in Au- gust of 1945. 1821--Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Christian Sci- ence Movement, was born. 1951--Leopold III, King of Belgium, abdicated.

Ontario Regiment personnel, with their families, held a field day at the Uxbridge Rifle Ranges. Henry C.

Hales Progressive Con- servative MP for Welling- ton South. By ALFRED D. HALES, MP OTTAWA In travelling around my riding keeping in touch: with my constituents ,I am often confronted with the remarks: "My opinion wouldn't count for anything," "What's the use?" or "What can I do, my views would. only be lost in the shuffle." In the democratic form of government the individual and his views must and do count because the government is the people. As a member of Parlia- ment, I, for one, can say that I do appreciate receiving let- ters from individuals expressing their views. When the postal arrange- ments are such that people can why more people do not sit down and take time to write. There is no doubt that. their views are of great help to MPs. One only needs to think of some of the controversial issues that have come before Parlia- ment lately and their effect on the number of letters that have been sent to MPs. The views expressed have gone a long way towards help- ing to form the opinion of MPs. One example which im- mediately comes to mind is the great flood of mail which all MPs have received concerning the adopting of a distinctive Ca- nadian flag. Never in my time as a member, or I expect, in history, has so much mail been received on any subject. Every letter received presents an in- dividual's view. FRANK FAN MAIL Another case which comes to write to their member p mind ns the Liberal gov- free. there seems little reason QUEEN'S PARK ernment's proposal to enact leg- Lands Minister Is A Party Man BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--One of the admir- able characteristics of Lands and Forests Minister Kelso Roberts is that he is not hide- bound -- except about politics, where he is a party man to the hilt. Mr. Roberts is getting on to- wards 70 but there's nothing seventyish about him. Physically he could cool off a man 20 years younger. And spiritually he approaches the world with the verve of a high school boy. q He will wear a bright green jacket in the house on St, Pat- rick's day or decide to ride a bicycle to work. He is always looking for something new to do or start. And it's probably because of this we now have in Ontario the Order of Algonquin. The Order of Algonquin, as you may have read, was initi- ated a few days ago at a big ceremony in Algonquin Park, The order is broken down into four divisions. At the top it recognizes those who have had a_ significant hand in the development of the park--such as the present dep- uty-minister of lands and for- ests, Frank MacDougall (he was superintendent of the park for years) and former Premier Leslie Frost. . Then there is an award for significant achievements, such GALLUP POLL as the recent one of the present park superintendent Yorqui Fis- kar in saving three men from drowning. Further minor orders will be given to those who take a recog- nized canoe trip in the park, who take a 27-mile hike or go through the session on nature study. The order, of course, is a bit of a gimmick. Principally it is a scheme to build up publicity for the park. It can be criticized for mix- ing in those who have contri- buted a genuine achievement, even those who have taken a major canoe trip, with mere visitors, who have taken a walk or listened to talks on nature study. Handing out minor awards across the counter cheapens those that are given for some- thing solid. But the gimmick basically is good. It will get a lot of publicity and goodwill for the park. And in some cases it will give recognition which has been earned, and will at least make a of other people feel 'ood. Above all it is different. Yor might say it is a bit of a swing ing approach in tune with the tempo of today. It's a new idea. And we can always stand new ideas. Majority Want Ottawa To Run Pen ry THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Rsereved) A majority of Canadians -- more than five in 10 -- think the Federal Government in Ottawa should run a portable pension plan. Only three in 10 feel it should be handled by the provinces. But regionally there is a wide divergence of opinion. In Quebec 58 per cent of the peo- ple want the Provincial Govern- ment to take this responsibil- ity and 25 per cent call for the NATIONAL Quebec Ontario sion Scheme Federal Government to do it. These figures are reversed in Ontario -- 25 per cent for the Provincial Government and 58 per cent for the Federal. In the Western provinces 72 per cent want the Federal Gov- ernment to run a Canadian pension plan and 16 per cent would like to see it turned over ot the provinces.

I quote a tence or two from some _ them: "Is it going to criminal offence to w: TV program except the TV? It's like under Hitler. is boss of the CBC?" "It does not seem fair to take away our leisure, it's like taking away freedom." ¢ old folks pass many hours." j Another, "Continue the fight, the TV men have gone to heavy expense to set up here." These letters came from as far away as the West Coast and many from the Lakehead and other parts of Ontario, I think, however, it should be said that individual letters to MPs are of much greater value than the organized blitz method of relaying views, By this I mean the plans whereby some group has 4,000 or 5,000 cards printed and all the writer has to do is to fill in the mame of the MP, sign the card and drop it in a mail box without a stamp. These are not nearly as ef- fective as the private personal letter. Many views and ideas expressed at caucus meetings of all parties, I am sure, come from views expressed by con- stituents either by mail or per- sonal interview. In conclusion, that your views do without them there w great danger of an MP getting out of touch with his riding. © The people of Canada have a right and a great privilege un- . der our democratic system of government to express their views and I think they should. use this right and privilege te. a greater extent.
