he Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JULY 27, 1964 -- PAGE 6 University Loan Bill Good Interim Measure The wrangle over the university student loan bill is another symp- tom of Canada's deep-seated sick- ness -- the division of "rights" be- tween federal and provincial au- thorities, emphasized by the na- tionalistic aspirations of one part of the population and exacerbated by opportunistic politicians. The 'bill itself is a good one, although it should be considered only an interim measure. As Fin- ance Minister Gordon told the House of Commons, the goal should be free university education for all with the necessary high academic qualifications -- without erosion of standards to permit entry to univer- sities of all who think they would like to attend. In the meantime, the university loans make sense. There are some obvious difficul- ties. There is, for example, the question of how students qualify for loans, but this is certainly no massive obstacle; other programs of a similar nature have found satisfactory solutions without re- sorting to objectionable means tests. Antipolitics ntipoliti The Goldwater nomination is being interpreted for European au- diences partly as a manifestation of "antipolitics" in the United States, the Christian Science Moni- toh reports. Many of tne Arizonan's supporters are said to be people who have long been fed up. with "politicians" and who regard poli- tics as a dirty business. Speaking before business lunch- eon clubs in various American cities and towns in the past, Sena- tor Goldwater has attacked not only the methods of the Democratic Party but of the political establish- ment in general. He has appeared as a sort of stereotype of the aver- age uncomplicated and unsophisti- cated citizen who has never been quite convinced by the labyrinthine explanations of political experts. This antipolitical aspect of the Republican nominee is something already familiar in Europe, the Monitor notes. Europeans note that President de Gaulle rules France with spectacular disdain for "'poli- ticians" and all the parliamentary paraphernalia of yesterday's more democratic but less efficient France. Another Big More people drive more miles on the August civic holiday weekend than at any other similar period all year -- and accident hazards can increase as a result. It's a family-type holiday, the Ontario Department of Transport points out, and it often brings family-type accidents. "There have been in the early part of this summer a number of tragic accidents in Ontario in which whole families have been killed or injured," said Hon. Irwin Haskett, Minister of Transport. "Fatal acci- dents are always shocking and dreadful and we want to prevent all of them. But an accident that claims five, or six or more lives multiplies the shock, sorrow and loss."

There has been some constructive criticism from other opposition members, but there is general agreement with the~ prin- ciple that financial barriers to those who can-profit from univer- sity education must be lowered; it is generally recognized that the whole country suffers when it fails to train its best brains either at universities or elsewhere. The bill pushes the federal gov- ernment a little farther into the education field -- the field so jealousy guarded by one province. That is as it should be. There must be, finally, national standards and a national recognition of the im- portance of education to the present and future of this country. In US. Another interesting similarity between de Gaulle and Goldwater arrests European attention. This is the direct approach both men take toward the West German ally. Only recently de Gaulle on a visit to Bonn recharged the hope of a special Franco- German relation- ship at the heart of Western Europe by working closely -- and above politics -- with the former Chan- cellor, Dr. Adenauer, against the present Chancellor, Dr. Erhard, whose views are more broadly European and Atlantic. So Europeans now are specially sensitive to reports that Mr. Gold- water also puts a special value on American-West German relations and might, as de Gaulle does, see the Germans as number-one part- ners in a United States-German grouping somewhat apart from the Western Alliance. Neither Gaullist nor potential Goldwater reliance on West Germany is regarded in the rest of Western Europe as recog- nizing Britain's broader, more ramified interests in the Continent. It too is a sort of antipolitics, in European eyes. Weekend must remember three things, said Mr. Haskett: He must concentrate on the operation of the ¢ar and not permit himself to be distracted by conver- sation or the activity of children. He 'has a special responsibility to make sure that his car is in first class mechanical condition. He must remain alert. This means driving shorter distances or stop- ping to rest oftener than he might if he were travelling alone. Other Editors' Views CHANGING LANGUAGE (J. Donald Adams in "The Magic and Mystery of Words") Words are not static. All civilized tongues -- and possibly those of primitive peoples -- are in con- tinual flux, and this is more true, perhaps, of course our own than of any other. I daresay that English has suffered more sea changes since the 14th century, when it began to assume a character recognizable to us now, than French, Spanish, Italian, German or. Russian. No- where have these changes been as constant or as pronounced.as in the United States. Bible Thought "For there is one God, and one me- diator between God and Men, the man Christ Jesus." 1 Timothy 2:5. We are saved by the grace of God through: the crucifixion of Christ, Man must accept God's plan or pre- pare for His punishment. THE YEAR OF THE TOPLESS BATHING SUIT REPORT FROM U.K. Cost of Housing Rises In Britain By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) CorreSpondent To The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Until recenthy, one of the chief differences be- tween costs of living in Canada YOUR HEALTH and in Britain has been in the much higher cost of homes and housing accommodation in Can- ada. With the upsurge of pros- perity in Britain, and the de- mands for higher standards of housing, that difference has Children Require Guidance On Food By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My 5-year- old daughter likes ketchup and pickles and wants some with all meat dishes, which means al- most daily. Is this harmful in any way?--Mrs, C.L. It could be, in time. At this age the youngster is establish- ing taste patterns that will last all her life, just as some chil- dren are brought up eating too much salt or too much sugar. There's no harm, certainly in occasional ketchup or pickles, but 1 would institute a gradual campaign--and no fussing or lecturing--to taper off on these relishes, Just a. simple, "Oh, we don't eat ketchup on. steak, Honey," or. "We don't happen to have any pickles in the house today." In the latter case, of course, be sure that you don't have any pickles in the house. Kids aren't stupid! Lie to them, and they soon find it out, and giv- ing them reason not to. trust you is-much worse than pickle- gorging I'm not saying that pickles and ketchup are harmful in moderation. But eating highly- spiced foods in excess can ir- ritate the stomach and in time lead to gastritis. Besides all this, it's still not a bad idea to teach children to eat what is served at the table and not demand things that aren't, What's this little girl go- ing to do, later on in life, when she has dinner at. someone else's house and has to struggle along without either ketchup or pickles? Dear Dr. Molner: Is emphy- sema contagious? Could a per- son get it from someone who is very sick with it and cough- ing all over the place without covering the mouth, or by using the same dishes?--M.M. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July, 27, 1964... Europe and North Amer- ica were linked beneath the sea by a series ot wire threads with the completion of the transatlantic cable 98 years ago today--in 1866, The, 2,134-mile cable was anchored at Heart's' Con- tent, Nfld., and led the way to other similar projects all over the world. The cable began. at Velentia, Ireland, and was carried to North America by the side-wheel steamer Great Eastern, The attempt at cable-laying the Atlantic in 1858 had failed, 19099--Orville Wright es- tablished a world record for heavier-than-air craft when he and a passenger stayed aloft for one hour and 40 seconds 1960 -- Canadian Army units were formed for serv- ice in The Congo on behalf of the United Nations. No, you don't get emphysema that way. However, germs of various types, not related to emphysema, can be spread by coughing, so everyone' should cover the mouth with a hand- kerchief, tissue, or even just a hand, when coughing. Dear Dr. Molner: Is _ there an allergy-free state? My son, 11, is-fine ali winter, but from spring through fall he is aller- gic to willow trees, grass, molds, ragweed and other pol- lens. Florida advertises being an allergy-free state.--H.N.S. There is no allergy-free state, because no matter what mater- jal you have in mind, sooner or later somebody comes along and is allergie to it. Some areas are better than others, for certain people. With the. accumulation of allergies possessed by your boy, the only way to find out about Florida (or any other state) would be to try living there for a time. You should be forewarned that you might merely exchange one set of allergies: for. another. But then again, you might find he would be much more com- fortable, Dear Dr. Molner: Can a woman become pregnant while She is having her period? Sec- ond, will a douche prevent preg- nancy?--Mrs. A.M. First question: No, Second: A douche definitely is not a per- fect means of preventing preg- nancy, been practically wiped out, be- cause of the phenomena] ° in- crease in the costs of housing in Britain, and particularly in London and the southeast sec- tion of England. Two separate statements, is- sued almost simultaneously, pinpoint the drastic increase in housing costs within the last three or four years. And the in- crease is continuing. RISING SHARPLY A report on a survey conduct- ed by the Co-operative Perma- nent Building Society shows that prices for houses have risen sharply in the first six months of 1964. Over the past. 12 months, prices for homes in Britain have risen by an aver- age of 10 per cent. On a house which would now sell for $10,000 this would mean an increase of $1,000 in a year's time. Even more impressive is the fact that in the last five years, prices of homes on the average , for the whole country, have ' climbed by 40 per cent. In Lon- don and the south-east districts, - where the pressure of increas- ing population is greater than elsewe, costs have risen hy elsewhere, costs have risen by There are some regional yari- ations. In the northeast of En- gland, where the pressure on housing accommodation is not as great as in the southeast, the rise in housing cost over the last 15 years has been only 25 per cent. Yet in the southeast, the increase for the last year alone was equal to nine per cent. BIGGER RISE COMING The second report on_ this timely subject comes from the Town and Country Planning As- sociation. It predicts a further increase of between 30 per cent and 75 per cent in house prices in each of the next two decades, This report, dealing with hous- ing demand for the next 20 years, was prepared for. the association by a leading firm of consultants. In its view, the rise in prices is likely to be due more to the rising prices of land everywhere in Britain than to. increased building land. The report forecasts that average real earnings may rise to between $75 and $120 a week by 1982, with a movement away from the renting of nomes to- wards a much greater propor- tion of owner-occupation, In this respect, as well as in costs, Britain is, certainly moving nearer to the situation which prevails in Canada. BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO July 27, 1949 Oshawa's new fire pumper truck was believed to be the only type of its kind in Canada. East Whitby Township Council gave Fire Chief W. R. Elliott permission to have the truck demonstrated at the Firefigh- ers' convenion held in Ottawa. Citizens were warned to take precautions against polio- myelitis since two deaths and one case had occurred in the Oshawa district within one week.

He succeeded R. Harry Deyman, who retired after having held that office for 24 years. Mr, and Mrs. 0. W. B. Howie, Tyler crescent, displayed sev- eral rare souvenirs received from their son, Donald, while he was stationed in Korea with the U.S. Army. More than half the total length of the streetcar track on Simcoe street north had been removed preparatory to resurfacing the section from Alexandra street to Rossland road. Robert Argo, manager of the Oshawa Branch of the Bank of Montreal, was on a_ three months' visit to England and Scotland. Lindsay Kiwanians visited the Oshawa Kiwanis Club. The oc- casion of the visit was to pass along the "Kiwanis Travel- Gavel". Inter-Club Chairman George Stevenson presented the gavel to Inter-Club Chairman George Campbell of the Oshawa Club. < Swimming lessons were being given to children from all sec- tions of the city every week-day morning during July and Ang- ust, at Ritson road pool, by the Community Recreation Associa- tion. A | Goldwater's Opinions As He Has Given Them WASE:INGTON (AP) -- Fol- Jowing are the views of U.S. Senator Goldwater of Arizona, Republican presiden- tial candidate, on a variety of issues, as expressed in his writ- ings, interviews, campaign speeches, statements and other public comments: NUCLEAR TEST BAN "I voted against the treaty because it, in effect, freezes the Soviet Union in a superior po- sition to the United States as regards the uses and effects of high-yield weapons while leav- ing open the possibility of their catching up to us in the field of tactical nuclear weapons, since these weapons can be perfected by underground tests which are not prohibited by the treaty," Goldwater said in his campaign Position paper. "If I were president, I can conceive of situations in which it wouid be necessary to abro- gate the treaty, If I found it detrimental to the interests of the United States to continue to adhere to' the treaty, I would use the treaty's own escape clause to release us from its provisions. "TI also feel there are impor- tant areas of amendment which should -be sought immediately, particularly in the area of peaceful use of nuclear weap- ons" Goldwater said Jan. 6 'he would not rule out disarma- ment negotiations with the So- viet Union. "Anybody, I think, would be a fool to close the door on negotiations for anything; but until the Soviet Union shows some indication that they want to disarm . . . then I don't think negotiations are possible." SOUTH VIET NAM "The policies we have been following there for the last sev- eral years have been proven to be inadequate . . I predict that if thse policies do not change we'll be fighting in Viet Nam for a decade. And, at best, we'll end up with a draw or a slow ' defeat,' Goldwater said July 5. "The supplies of the Commu- nist invaders have got to be shut off. "This means threatening or actually interdicting the supply routes from Red China, Laos and Cambodia; It does not mean bombing Vietnamese, or even bombing Vietnamese cities."' Goldwater said-in San Diego, Calif, May 26: "As president, I would say to my military people, 'How do we stop these supplies coming down?' And. we wold do that." The senator said he does not advocate the use of nuclear weapons to defoliate jun- gie trails or to cut Communist supply lines. "It could be done, but I don't think it should be done," he said, "I feel conventional weap- ons would be very, very ade- quate... ." SOVIET UNION In the Der Spiegel! interview, Goldwater said: "My disagree- ment with diplomatic recogni- tion of Russia goes back to the day when we did it in the 1930s, I opposed it then and I never thought that it has rebounded to the benefit of the Western world. Today I look upon this (recognition) as a tool." In his campaign position: pa- per, Goldwater said: "Our recognition of the Soviet Union has been greatly to its advantage. The possibility of withdrawing that recognition should be maintained as a bar- gaining device, as a lever that might be used at a moment most advantageous to the inter- ests of the United States. "Withdrawal might not come this year or next or at all, but the very threat would be of great value to the United States in' its negotiations' with the Communists," Goldwater on May. 28 pro- fested the consular treaty signed by the U.S. with the So- viet Union. He said at Santa Barbara, Calif., May 28 that he was "rather shaken" President Johnson did not inform the Sen- ate of the treaty details in ad- vance. . UNITED NATIONS Goldwater made this state- ment on the United Nations in responding July 5 to an Asso- ciated Press questionnaire: "I would, at the very least, issue. a warning--in the follow- ing terms: For 19 years now, the Communists have held the UN in contempt. They have. re- peatedly undermined its opera- tions and its principles. Should the Red Chinese now, in effect, shoot their way in, the charter would be all but a dead letter. In that event, the United States --in our own best interests, and for the good of the original UN idea--would be forced to under- take a serious' reassessment of its basic commitments, "The first necessity for strengthening the UN, in my judgment, is to look critically at voting procedures. Some form of weighted voting may OTTAWA REPORT ities. Many responsible author- ities have ited a: syster based on tion, on contri- butions to UN costs, or combination of factors. have the final solution, But is one of the major problems. that must be considered, and candidly, in api UN's future as tative and a responsible organ- ization." Q SUPPORTS UN . In his position paper, made public April 13, Goldwater said: "I support, unconditionally, the purposes the United Nations was originally intended to serve --peace among nations, based on mutual tolerance, respect for the sovereign independence of all nations, and a cor sense of justice. ne "I believe the United States should make the fullest possible use of its membership in the UN as one means of achievin these goals .. . it is a usefu forum." "We must stay in the United Nations but we must make it better," he said in Meredith, N.H. Jan. 23, : In Keene, N.H., Jan. 29 Gold. water said of oft-proposed Com- munist Chinese admission to the UN: "My objections go to an enemy of peace being al- lowed in a body that was formed for peace: "It's foolish," he said. "It's like inviting Al Capone to a Sunday evening social." Nov. 3, 1963, he said if Red China gained membership, "I don't see how we could live in the United Nations," In Belmont, Mass., June 13, 1962, Goldwater said he could. see "no reason to continue our participation" in the United Na- tions. "The idea was wonderful but the world is not ready for it," he said, : Member Claims Disunity Promoted By Selfishness Patrick Nicholson's guest columnist today is Harold Danforth, Progressive Con- servative MP for Kent (Ont). By HAROLD DANFORTH OTTAWA--Clear thinking Ca- nadians, all across this country of ours are beginning to think that one of the most deadly poisons ever produced can be spread at will throughout this land with no license required or subject to any controls munic- ipal, provincial or federal. This poison is so virile and dangerous that it can in fact cause a complete breakdowr of an entire country in the matter of a few weeks or months: This poison is the product of selfish, ruthless men, under the disguise of politics, who use it without caution or restraint, for the sole purpose of promoting their own personal interests and desire for power. No one today will dispute the fact that Canada is suffering untold agony due to an over- dose of this potent destroyer.

Mr, Gearin, writing in his column of July 22, indicates the Board of Education is throwing away money as if it were going out of style. He gives as an ex- ample the building of a school on Grandview street south. I attended all committee and board meetings at which this school was planned. Mr, Gearin attended 'none. I saw no evi- dence whatsoever of overspend- ing or waste of taxpayers' money. These are the facts Mr. Gearin gives: Grandview school will cost $315,000 and will con- sist of 10 classrooms -- $31,500 -- a classroom; the Department of Education allows $20,000 a class- room when estimating class- room grants. Here is the full story: This school is being built so that at a later date 19 more classrooms can be added. In- cluded in the $31,500 figure is a heating plant for 20 classrooms and administration facilities for the extra rooms. The figure further includes a gymnatorium, architect's fees, desks, chairs, other furnishings and books, The school is to be built next year when there will be an increased Federal Sales Tax on. buiding materials. The epresent four per cent is expect- ed to double. This $20,000 per classroom fig- ure issued by the Department of Education is used only in the computing of the grant system, The Department has never ad- vised boards to base building expenditures on this figure. The Department has used $20,- 000 a classroom for its com- puting since 1953, Building costs go up at about four per cent per year. : Before 1953 the Department used a figure of $23,000 a class- room for computing and before that it used $25,000 a classroom. The board of education was unanimous in the decision to spend $31,500 on the first part of Grandview school and they were backed by all city council and the mayor apart from Alderman Cliff Pikey and Alderman Fin- ey Dafoe. I may also suggest no finer investment could be made with taxpayers' money than in the education of their children. BILL LOWTHER Oshawa GALLUP POLL with the past, co-operative fed- eralism, something must be ter- ribly wrong ..'. the nation is truly ill and in grave danger. No one in his right mind could believe the ordinary citi- zen in the little village or town in Quebec or Ontario or any other province is responsible for this surge of unrest. He is like any other human, inter- ested in his church, his job, and his family's welfare. National problems are some-. thing faraway and are of little immediate interest. Very sel- dom indeed does he consider them. Where then is' the major cause of our troubles today? Let us stop evading the issue and place the blame exactly. where it belongs. Let us trace this poison to its source and then destroy it. We know its source, every one of us, -- WILD PROMISES It spumes from the fiery ora- tory of a few irresponsible poli- ticians who care little for the terrible consequence of their wild exclamations. It is gener- ated by wild promises of politi- cal platforms. It boils forth un- controlled when sacred ideals and national symbols are thrown into the political arena in a mad scramble for votes. This is the source. This is the poison, The cure is simple. It is en- tirely in the hands of the voters of Canada. You must ruthless'y weed out the misfits, the sabo- teurs of national unity, the irre- sponsible power grabbers at the election polls, so tha: once more on.every level, municipal, pro- vincial and federal, Canada may return to sanity and prog- ress as a nation, coast to coast, Only then will we have the cure. There is no 1oom in the future of this great country for vicious little men and their po- litieal poisons, Majority Now Approves Walter Gordon's Work By CANADIAN INSTITUTE of PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Canada's Minister of Finance, Walter Gordon is climbing back into public esteem following his much - criticized budget last year. A majority of the voters -- 51 per cent -- now rate his work as excellent or good, Among four cabinet ministers rated in a Gallup study, Mr, Gordon is in second place to Miss LaMarsh, and ahead of Mitchell Sharp and Guy Fav- reau. However, of the four, Mr. Gordon still has the highest rating for doing 'poor' work -- 14 per cent -- almost double that for Miss LaMarsh, Labor is least impressed with Mr. Gordon's work. Here only 43 per cent give him an excel- lent or good rating, compared to 60 per cent among professional groups and 63 per cent among white collar workers. The new Minister of Justice, Guy Favreau is not as yet well- known, as almost 68 percent won't hazard an opinion on him. Among these who do, 38 per cent think his work is excellent or good: four per cent rate him as a poor performer, Interviewers showeq a card listing the ministers and asked: "Here are two cabinet minis- ters, Walter Gordon, Finance, and Guy Favreau, Justice. We are interested in how you feel they are handling their jobs. How would you rate the jobs they are doing -- excellent, fair or poor?"
