Published by Canadian Newspopers Limited " 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario ~'T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1964---PAGE 6 Soft-Sell Won't Stop _ Slaughter On Highway -- The 'Ontario Motor League-Tor- .end could break all previous records for deaths, injury and damage on ~~~ onto Club took a "let's be sweet" approach to a period which gives most traffic safety authorities the shudders. The OML predicted that some 2,500,000 Ontario motorists would return safely after enjoy- able Labor Day Holiday weekend; President Grant Brown said that most motorists are safe, sane, sen- sible, courteous drivers and "let's emphasize. the pleasures of motor- ing, and, through positive think- ing, attitudes and actions, eliminate the hazards." That's fine. We're all for positive thinking about traffic safety. But we're not going to get it by patting the safe, sane, sensible, courteous drivers on the back -- for them, just getting safely home is reward enough. More realistic were the Canadian Highway Safety Council and_ the Ontario Provincial Police. The Safety Council sombrely warned that this Labor Day week- Food Alone An American scientist-economist, Dr. Raymond Ewell;has predicted that a world: famine "affecting hundreds of millions, perhaps even billions, of human beings is not far off. It could happen within the next ten years, he says. It is significant that his state- ment was not criticized as the out- burst of a scaremonger or headline- hunter. Instead it has received sober appraisal. And with good reason. A short time ago the United Na- tions published a report on the rate of the world's population growth. It showed that not only is the popu- lation soaring, but it is doing so at a more rapid rate. Three years ago the annual growth rate was 46 mil- lion; now it is 63 million.. The greater part of the increase is) in Asia and' Latin America, where poverty and malnutrition are al- ready widespread. Without the in- tervention of calamity, it is ex- pected that the population in these areas will increase by one billion in the next 20 years. India is plead- Canadian roads, It. said: "Facing a seven-year average of 58 deaths and a 1968 death toll of 77 for this major long weekend of the year, the Canadian Highway Safety Coun- cil is forced to warn that the 1964 death toll for the Labor Day week- end may exceed 75. The injured list may exceed 1,500." The OPP took a similar view. As a result, nearly 2,000 provincial police -- two-thirds of the force's total uniformed strength -- were on duty around the clock during the weekend in their biggest drive to reduce the holiday death toll, They rode cars, motorcycles, air- planes and helicopters to apprehend motorists caught breaking driving laws. And that's the way to do it -- to crack down on the clowns, the drunks. the goons and the nuts who make a horror of the highways and a grim experience of something that should be pure enjoyment. Not Enough ing food. China has had to buy wheat from Canada. New govern- ments in Africa, because of cor- ruption and mismanagement, are reducing the agricultural potential of their people. Unless the food problem is licked, there could indeed be a series of massive famines around the world. Food alone, however, will not solve the problem. Theoretically, the, world is capable of producing enough food for a much larger population than is predicted for the next couple of hundred years. But before theory can become practice in the 'hunger zones, unrestrained breeding will condemn hundreds-of millions to enfeebled and disease- ridden lives. And all the while, the pressure of numbers will be felt more and more strongly on the space available for them. Even if the food problem were solved, enor- mous social problems would create conflict. The only permanent solution is restraint in breeding. Helping With Changes The new Manpower Consultative Service established by the federal government is designed to help de- fine and meet unemployment prob- lems that may result from techno- logical change in industry. But the government itself cannot make it work. If it is to bear productive results, labor and management must co-operate. Describing the new service, Labor Minister Alan MacEachen said re- cently in Vancouver that automa- tion and technological change can- not be halted, that Canada must reap the benefits of change, and that the aim of the new service will be to help employers and workers develop manpower adjustment pro- grams in anticipation of technical changes.

"Management today," he said, "must adapt rapidly to change, often with effects that were not foreseen when collective agree- ments were drawn up. Unions, how- ever, are bound by collective agree- ments, so they try to guard work- ers and the union itself against subsequent changes by introducing security measures into agreements, which may pose obstacles to later adjustments. The answer to such problems is going to be found in closer consultation between labor and management, and most impor- tantly, in a contintious kind of con- sultation." The Manpower. Consultative Ser- vice could be the most practicable idea Ottawa -has had thus far in this field. OTTAWA REPORT Opposed Versions You MAY HUM A LITTLE = Of Flag Meeting By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--This column's re- cent account of an episode il- lustrating one reason for "the chaos on Parliament Hill' has just been fully confirmed and vividly elaborated in Parlia- ment. On Aug. 20 I described Prime Minister Pearson's helpful ini- tiative in calling "summitt" meetings of the party leaders, to find a way out of the flag fiasco. "One such meeting was held two weeks ago (on Aug. 4)," I wrote. "At it, I was told, this three - point compromise was YOUR HEALTH urged: (1) Mr. Pearson should withdraw his three-leaf design and sbustitute a one-leaf de- sign; (2) The Red Ensign should be adopted instead of the Union Jack as the flag symbolizing our membership in the Commonwealth; (3) Party leaders should permit their fol- lowers to vote freely in accord with their individual conscience rather than under direction by their party. Party leaders were to consult with their followers about these hopeful proposals and report back to a later sum- mit conference." But within a few days, on Reaction Of Drug Worries Parents By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Should sulfa drugs be given without al- lergy tests? If so, for how long? What are the symptoms of sulfa Dear Doctor: I have read 60 much about allergy to penicil- lin. My husband and I cannot «tree whether to let the doctor administer penicillin to our three-year-old daughter who al- ready has had her first and only shots of it within the last six months, both times for an ear infection. In both cases she showed marked improvement. Does this indicate that her body used up the drug in its entirety, so she will run no risk of its build- ing up and causing a serious reaction? Is there some drug other than penicillin? -- MRS, EAH. Let's answer these letters separately, since the two drugs are quite different. SULFA: Reactions to this drug are usually in the form of rash, nausea, headache, and disturbance in the white blood cell count. Newer forms of sulfa are less likely to cause reactions than some of the early ones. { am not familiar with al- lergy tests or ofher methods of determining in advance whether a reaction is likély to occur, However, I don't see any great need for them, If such a reaction occurs, and the symptoms cease promptly when the drug is discontinued, that is good reason to avoid giving it again. PENICILLIN: This is a dif- ferent drug, and reactions can be much more serious than with sulfa, Hives, rashes and other aller- gic responses may occur very quickly after an. Injection, or may be delayed as much as 10 days, Such results, while annoy- ing, are not dangerous. Rather, the danger 'lies in cases in which the allergic response tn- cludes swelling of tissues of the respiratory system, interfering with breathing, or other such serious consequences, It is not a problem, as Mrs. EAH. . suggests, of the drug 'building up,'? but rather of a person becoming more sensi- tive, allergically, to a substance the more often he is exposed to it. : Some people become readily sensitive to penicillin; others never do, Sensitivity, like hay fever or any other allergy in that respect, depends on the in- dividual. Millions of pecple have had penicillin without tndesirable consequences. But with the few have turned out to be al- lergic to it. I don't want to say anything to encourage needless fear of penicillin. (Mrs. EAH. may. well be worrying without any real cause.) If there is any sign of reac- tion to penicillin, then sensitiv- ity or "skin" tests should be performed to make sire. It can't be predicted in. advance who will be sensitive, but I ad- vise caution with any individual who is known to have other sensitivities, If allergy to penicillin exists, then it is possible to resort to quite a few other antibiotics Your doctor will choose one which fits the type of germ be- ing combatted, Dear Dr, Molner: What is a ganglion and is it serious?-- CRH. It is agr owth on a tendon. Sometimes it causes no trouble. It can be removed surgically. It's not serious as a rule. Aug. 12, Mr. D, denied this by asserting in the Commons: "There was no question raised at any (summit) meeting re- garding the nature, kind snd de- sign of a flag." "1 -CAN'T BELIEVE IT Mr. D.'s words, I added, flab- bergasted other party leaders. They also astonished MPs of other parties, especially cabinet ministers, who had been. con- sulted about these proposals in detail by their leaders. Then on Aug. 26, 2 weekly magazine described this whole episode, adding the comment by Social Credit Leader Bob Thompson that 'Mr: Diefen- baker refused to consult with his own party or to consider any reasonable compromise himself." This led a Conserva- tive MP to assert in the House that Mr. D. had consulted his followers, that. Mr, Thompson was talking through his hat or had been misquoted, and should retract his words. But if, as Mr. D, had asserted in Parliament on Aug, 12, no 'alternative flag design had Been praposed, how could he have consulted his followers about it? They cannot both be right. Mr. Thompson was away from Ottawa when this attack was made on him, but the fol- lowing week he was back and told the House of the events at the summit meeting: 'Very briefly this. suggestion was that the three maple leaves should be replaced with a single maple leaf, that the Union Jack should be replaced with the Red Ensign to represent Can- ada's membership in the Com- monwéalth, and that the prime minister should take steps to immediately declare all votes as free votes." Bob Thompson went on to re- fer to Mr, D's denial to the House Aug. 12 saying: "I was not only confused but upset by this statement, because to me it was in direct opposition to the facts of what we all knew had taken place at the (summit) meeting. I was also disturbed by the fact that many members of the Conservative party were coming to me asking if there had been any discussion regard- ing an alternative design." To this, Mr, D. replied: 'This is an exculpatory statement by one who finds himself in a dif- ficult position . . . we are not concerned whether he was amazed or deceived." BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Sept. Delegates who represented the Oshawa Kiwanis Club. at the Ontario - Quebec - Maritime con- tion included Everett Disney and Fred Kitchen. Three members of the General Motors War Veterans' Pipe Band gained individual honors at the band competition held in Goderich. They were Pipe Major John Reid and Pipers Hugh M. Innes and T, MacFarlane. Workmen at Brougham had the difficult task of removing the 50-year-old yault in the town- ship hall in order to make more space in the building which was no longer used for municipal affairs, Nine new houses valued at $58,500 were included in Osh- aa's building total of $190,915. Labor Day owes its inception to the Toronto District Labor Council which in 1872 began a campaign to have a day set aside each year in honor of labor. The drive succeeded when in 1894 Parliament chose the first Monday in September as a legal holiday. In "Oshawa and district the holiday had been officially marked in industry since 1943. Thirty - six passengers in a Colonial Coach Lines Bus had a 9, 1949 close call when the vehicle roll- ed down a 20-foot embankment just east of Newcastle after hit- ting an auto which turned un- expectedly into its path. The bus driver, Stanley Waylett of Oshawa, had previously ie- geived an award for 15 years of safe driving. A five-year-old pet dog "Pal" owned by Terry Snowdon, son of Mr. and Mrs, William Snow- don of Oshawa, won the 300- yard dog marathon swim at the CNE. Miss R.

SIGNS FAVORABLE Ofticials admit privately that Toronto Obtains Another Bonanza By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Toronto gets an- other big bonanza. The new science centre which is to be the province's official centennial 'project will be lo- cated on the northern. outskirts of the city. It starts out as a $5,000,000 project, but in the end it will be much more than this; much, much more, And so once again the people of Ontario will be chipping in towards another big asset for this already richly - endowed city--and in this case it will be the people of Canada, for 50 per cent of the cost of the pro- ject will be paid by the federal government. This is one occasion, how- ever, in which the government can't be accused of favoritism --or lack of courage in the face of shrill Toronto demands. The location of the centre is set by the terms of the federal government's offer, This is contingent on the proj- ect being located in the provin- cial capital. And unfortunately for so many of us the provincial capi- tal of our fair province is this hungry city. What galls, of course, is that there will be no gratitude that this magnificent establishment is to be located here. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 9, 1964... William I of England, also known as William the Conqueror, died 877 years ago today -- in 1087 -- at Rouen, France, A pious man in a profligate age, William was the first man to unite England under one leader and all resistance to his rule ended four years after his initial landing in 1066. Although the illegiti- mate son of Robert the Devil, Duke of Normandy, be was related to Edward the Confessor, a southern English king, and by mar- riage later to a descendant of Alfred the Great. He was the last man successfully to invade the British Isles and did so with the approval of Pope Alexander II. 1850--California attained statehood. 1860 -- The Canadian steamship Lady Elgin and the schooner Augusta col- lided in lake Michigan with the loss of 330 lives. First World War Fifty years ago today, in 1914, British troops crossed the River Marne in France and began attacking the rear of the German armies facing Paris, The retreat of the German armies began. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day, in 1939, French troops claimed they. had occupied and were holding 200 square miles of German territory in the Saar, Berlin pro- claimed the re - establish- ment of Germany's 1914 eastern frontier. German troops were reported in the suburbs of Warsaw. It undoubtedly will be met by criticism and complaint. Any other community in the province would go down on its knees to get the project. But you can be almost cer- tain that here there will be grousing. Just watch for it, PLANS VAGUE Plans for the centre itself are still very much in the early stages. There are no definite details on the probable eventual size, what particular form the exhi- bits may be, and even on the broad policy. The centre is to show the .de- velopment of science and tech- nology. But apparently nobody is sure whether this should show growth that has taken place in Ontario, in Canada or in the world at large. It will not be a museum in the traditional sense, in that there will be animation and a story to the displays. From a display standpoint the exhibits, it appears, will be more what one expects from a world's fair type of show rather than a museum exhibition. The centre is expected to be of value in education, But, again, just how valuable hasn't been decided yet. There is a suggestion that it could send out travelling exhibits through the province. : It undoubtedly will be a great thing for the province. But it will be a while yet before we know potentially how great. R The SYSTEM fe) provides loans For Socialists STOCKHOLM (Reuters)-- Sweden's Socialists are looking forward to another four-year ex- tension of their 32 years in power when the country elects a new lower house for the Riks- dag(Parliament ) Sept. 20, - They were voted into office in _, 1932 and have been there prac- tically ever since, sharing power with one or more coali- tion parties for a total of 11 years during that time, Premier Tage Erlander, 63, is leading the Social Demo- cratic election campaign with a program which, he said, will in- crease prosperity and social welfare and reduce working hours (at present about 42 a week) Sociflist supporters are con- fident of success this year and expect a further increase in votes to continue the trend of the last 10 years. STRENGTH RISES During that time the party's share of the poll has risen steadiy from 47.4 per cent to 50.5 per cent at the last gen- eral election, in: 1962, The lower house, or second chamber, which has equal rights with the first chamber elected indirectly by the county councils, has 232 members and will have one more after the election. Of the total, 114 are So- cial Democrats. The biggest opposition party, in terms of seats, is the Peo- ple's (Liberal) party, which has 40 members in the lower house. The Centre party, which stands between the Liberals 'and the Social Democrats in the political spectrum and ig the nearest thing in Sweden to a peasants' party, has 34 mem- bers. The Conservatives have 39 members, making a total of 113 for the main opposition parties, compared with the 114 for the Social Democrats. In this situation, the Commu- nists, with their five lower house seats, have had it in their power to overthrow the govern- . ment. But three times in recent years they have refrained from doing so. They have also saved themselves from the acute un- popularity such a step would have created. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM An educator says he can't understand why women dislike mathematics.
