The Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher 4 SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1964--PAGE 6 Dimmed In Results of the two byelections in Ontario proved once again that local Yssues and the strength of candi- 'dates are the most important fact- ors in byelections. Also demons- trated was the danger of drawing "proad conclusions from isolated votes. It would be easy to conclude, from the Riverdale results, that (a) the Robarts tide was receding, and (b) the Liberals were still in de- cline. But the Conservatives wrested the Windsor-Sandwich seat from the Liberals on the same day. Uncertainty about the leaderless Liberals may well have had a po- tent influence on voters in both Riverdale and Windsor-Sandwich, although Riverdale had an opportu- nity to vote for a potential leader. Full credit must be given to the personalities and campaigns of the winning candidates, however "James Renwick in Riverdale and Ivan Thrasher in Windsor. Mr. Renwick in particular waged an intelligent and strenuous campaign, and there is no doubt that he will - How Big Is BY REV. GORDON W, C. BRETT : Knox Presbyterian Church "Keep out of debt altogether, except that perpetual debt of love which we owe one another". Strange and impractical words! Yet they summarize the Apostle Paul's understanding of Christian living. "Hom much debt has he got?" This seems to be the measure of a man's substance and stability to- day. On every hand we are en- couraged, persuaded and seduced into debt: The personal and family problems that debt is making in our society .are unbelievable, ex- cept to the social worker, The individual is not entirely to blame, Almost anybody can get himself hopelessly into debt. Adver- tising has. made it attractive. Busi- ness has made it easy. Custom has made it necessary. Some indebtedness is hardly avoidable, but this is not the trouble-maker. Housing and educa- tion, for example, often require long-term financing. But the re- turns in health and _ happiness classify such purchases as invest- Prospects Of Liberals Two Tests be a credit to the Legislature, which badly needs an infusion of new blood to restore its energy. Mr. Thrasher, too, should be a cut above the type of docile backbencher now crowding. the Conservative seats. The Conservative candidate in Riverdale, Kenneth Waters, in a long career.in municipal politics had given little indication that he would contribute much to the provincial assembly. The side-issue in the Riverdale election was, of course, the headline- grabber -- the showing of Charles. Templeton, touted as the man to beat in the contest for the Liberal leadership. The Riverdale voters wiped him out of that contest as well as defeating his bid for the Legislature. The possibility of having a party leader represent them obviously had little if any appeal? Mr. Templeton might have preserved his leadership hopes had he been able to finish a strong second in the Riverdale test, but he finished last. And that's that, Nobody backs a loser. His Debt? ments.

OO Oe ae one o oo omer nan ow pat) ANNAN AY oe Sy A MOAI O P EQUIPPED FOR BIG GAME HUNTING QUEBEC OPINION Federal System Enables Regionalism To Develop This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French-., language press of Canada, Montreal Le Devoir--Mr.. Pearson's speech at Charlotte- town wasn't revolutionary be- cause the prime minister has often discussed, particularly. in the last two years, the theme of federalism and its new re- quirements. The prime minister recalled the key point of the (Confed- eration) debate, National unity remains the basic condi- tion of the country's political life but cannot be based on uniformity or on the subordi- nation or alienation of the au- thority of the provinces... . Today we are witnessing, in various states with centralized governments, a reawakening of regionalism which results from the growing influence of the state over the lives of its citizens, It is the case in Bel- gium in the conflict between the Flemings and the Wal- loons, It is the same in France where the problem of unemployment and the eco- nomic decline in certain re- gions has started a. decentrali- zation which will revitalize the former provinces and give them 'new influence in eco- nomic and» political decisions involved in national planning. The marked difference in de- velopment of different regions of Italy is provoking similar tensions, Canada is no exception, then, in the choice it must make, and it is not a prob- lem created exclusively by Quebec and French Canada, even if it is the most sensi- tive point. _.. Despite its difficulties our federal system gives Canada a framework whose supple- ness has advantages in an era where economic and so- cial evolution is giving natural and homogeneous regions a new importance.--Paul Sau- riol (Sept, 3) Grand La Voix de l'Est-- As a minimum step . . . the Quebec government will even- tually have to apply and con- trol its own immigration pol- icy, At first sight, this would seem perhaps inopportune but on reflection it seems a mat- ter of urgent necessity. If Que- bec doesn't want to see the nu- merical strength of the French-Canadians fall off gra- dually, and the balance of power of the two nations up- set, it will have to develop an interest in immigration sooner than it thinks. In doing this, it has the ex- ample of Ontario which, with- out having exclusive jurisdic- tion over immigration, admin- isters its own services by the intervention of its world-wide offices. The results obtained by our neighboring province are significant. Since the end of the Second Veorld War, it has succeeded in this way in attracting the great majority of immigrants to its own ter- ritory, even those who are French-speaking, A well co-or- dinated policy and _ publicity program give foreigners the impression that the. only op- portunity for New Canadians lies in Ontario. And the im- migrants believe it... . the very time when Que- ql is giving a new push to its economy, when it is affirm- ing "the special character of our ethnic group within the idea of a Canadian nation, when its resources are apt to interest and attract numerous immigrants, it is imperative that our province should think of installing the necessary services for an immigration policy that would be likely to increase the French-Canadian population, If it does not take action, it will be neglecting an import- ant aspect of: its economic growth, of its numerical in- crease and of the success of its constitutional struggle, Quebec hag in such a policy as excellent way of restoring the power balance between the two nations that make up Canada. (Aug, 31) Moncton L'Evangeline--The. federal - provincial conference at Charlottetown was marked by a curious incident, all the more curious becatise Pre- mier Jean Lesage of Quebec, a French province, reacted violently against the lack of French at the ceremonies marking the meeting of the Fathers of Confederation 100 years ago. At first sight, the anger of the top political man in Que- bec seemed justified... . / As Mr. Lesage said, "They should at least have made a pfetence of speaking French..." From unilingualism at Char- lottetown we pass on to unilin- gualism, also English, which is encountered when one goes to Quebec province, and more especially to Montreal. Al- though this province wants to and does speak of itself as French, we have to express our surprise at having to over- come so many difficulties in the so-called second biggest French city in the world, It is well known that people often find it difficult to find the tiniost amount of French spoken, . .. It often happens in Mont- real that a French-speaking Canadian is forced to resort to English in order to make himself understood; It is there and not at Charlottetown that we should exercise our right to be outraged because it is there that the evil originates. If French-Canadians cannot be served in their own lan- guage on their own territory, it is only logical that the same thing should happen. else- where. We don't approve necessar- ily the English unilingualism that prevailed at Charlotte- town. , . . The organizers of the ceremonies should: have investigated the possibility of taking a long step toward im- plementing the principle of "From. Sea to Sea" as re- gards bilingualism. All that is a pity. But it also is a pity that Mr, Lesage should have made note of it with so little diplomacy. Sept, 3) Sherbrooke La Tribune-- The _Rassemblement pour Independence has just suf: fered a blow that certainly won't help (the separatist or- ganization) achieve its goals. The resignation of seven of its top officials shows that all is not harmonious at the heart of the movement, ; The departing officials in- sisted they approve of the idea of (Quebec) independence but they disapproved of the party's increasing emphasis on-revolutionary methods. ..... It should be noted that the seven leaders who resigned are all from outside Montreal, We can perhaps conclude that the directions issued in the metropolis are not all ac- cepted blindly in the other areas of the province where radical and extremist view- points are considered too dan- gerous The: Montreal area has be- come the meeting place. for different extremist groups whose members are by no means disinclined to play the hard line. These individuals have adopted independence as a warhorse and they seem ready with gay abandon to throw their compatriots and the whole province into what- ever kind of venture causes noise and violence, Fortunately the majority of the population is possessed of good sense, and if people in some areas are taken in by such ideas, others are opening their eyes before: it's too late. In our free system, anyone may desire and work for Que- bee independence, but only. if they do so legally and reject the use of force as a means of achieving their ends, We continue to differ with those who have resigned from the Rassemblement while con- tinuing to favor independence, but we respect their opinion. BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO Sept, 12, 1924 Oshawa's new water was erected on the High School grounds. Designed by City Engi- neer ®& C. Smith, it had a capa- city of 550,000 imperial ga 'ons. The cost was approximately $33,000. Announcement was made that George W. McLaughlin offered to donate a new parsonage to the Union Church at Enni- skillen. Property was purchased. for enlarging the. playgrounds at Mary Street public school. W. M. Clarke succeeded Miss Mildred Ellis as organist and choir leader of the Christian Church (Centre Street United Church), Town council and the Oshawa Railway was in a deadlock over the Tepaving of Simcoe street if the spurline were laid to Ross' Corners. The Reformer headed a cam- pa'gh to raise funds for stricken Japan, where a severe earth quake had been suffered The Oshawa War Memorial's tower ~ adequate architect, Alfred Howell, sub- mitted a statement which indi- cated the structure was com- pleted and ready for unveiling on Oct. 15. A business transfer. was con- summated when ° Caughey, proprietor of the Com- mercial Hotel, disposed of the business to George MacTaggart of Toronto. The Board of, Education ap- plied for a pWperty. inspector of Oshawa schools, at a salary of $1,000 per year. The new Motor City Bowling Club, Simcoe street north, secured the services of F. A. Hardman, formerly physical director of the local YMCA, as its manager. Dr: T. W. G. McKay, medical officer of health, announced that the accommodation in the Osh- awa General Hospital was in- for the increasing population. Sixty local children were c'ven a holiday at the Red Cross Cottage at Lakeview Park prior to its closing for the season. Tah, OTTAWA REPORT Dief's Pay Cheque Stirs Speculation By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--"'Where are your Pay cheques?" may become the most dreaded and the most damaging question hurled by hecklers at Conservative candi- dates in the next election. On July 29 last year, the House of Commons voted to in- crease the basic remuneration fo all MPs from $10,000 to $18,- 000 per year, retroactive to the election on April 8, 1963. Minis- ters and the Opposition leader YOUR HEALTH and some others received sub- stantial extra pay. : So it wag surprising to hear Opposition Leader. Diefenbaker tell the House of Commons, when other MPs had been re- ' ceiving the increased pay for nearly 17 months, that he "does not receive the addition," How' come? The most likely explanation is that Mr. D is simply not cashing his monthly pay cheques, Narcotics Quicker Than Barbiturates By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD_ Dear Dr, Molner: What is the difference between barbiturates and narcotics? I have a friend who says they are the same thing --J.K.B, Both are sedatives and pain- relievers" and both have to be - handled with respect. But they. are not the same. It's like saying that a big fire- cracker is the same as a hand grenade. 1 recall a soldier who, in war- dime, got hold of one of the firecrackers used in a training camp to show troops how booby traps work. He lighted the fuse and began to throw the fire- cracker, It went off in his hand, and the result was quite a mess. But had the firecracker been a grenade, it probably would have killed him. I think that's a rough way of comparing bar- biturates and narcotics, A few days of using narcotics can start a physical "hunger" for more. Bigger and bigger doses are required to satisfy the addiction. Presently, if the drugs are shut off, the addict goes through an agonizing "withdrawal" period. He can't eat, his stomach rebels, he has chills and fever--and his whole system screams for more of the drug that put him in that con- dition. Barbiturates, properly used, can be a great blessing. They promote sleep, relax taut nerves, and in many ways are invaluable. Many a person with epilepsy is living a normal life because daily use of barbitur- ates (sometimes along with anti-convulsant drugs) prevents seizures, Conversely, some people let their nerves get so badly out of control that they try to make up for the problem with heavy TODAY.

The German cruiser Hela was sunk by British submarines. An Aus- trian attack almost suc- ceeded in breaking the Ser- bian line south of Belgrade. Second World War Twenty - five years ago today, in 1939, the French armies reported '"sub- stantial gains" west of Saarbrucken. German. High Command claimed Warsaw was surrounded, The Poles, on the other hand, claimed the Polish armies had ré: united and were making a stand west of the canital and had pushed the Ger- mans from the west of War- saw, and repeated doses, Instead of a mild dose to gradually help them sleep, they insist on knocking themselves out at once, Still others achuire the even more dangerous habit of taking ~ "pep" pills during the day, and heavy sedation at night. Such overdosage creates the danger with barbiturates, This poses a double threat: Barbitur- ate poisoning, and acquiring a » habit that is difficult to break. Barbiturates do not cause ad- diction in a matter of days, as narcotics will; but they still must be used in a yeasonable manner, , Dear Dr. Molner: Is the old sulphur and molasses treatment good for pimples? ; ' Is there a difference between sulphur and sulfa drugs?--MRS, D. 5 First: No, that old mixture isn't used any more. Second: Sulphur is a chem- ical element, as oxygen, iron, chlorine, sodium and a hun- dred-odd others are basic ele- ments. The sulfa drugs are members of a group of complicated com- pounds called sulfonamides. The fact that they contain sul- phur among othe? elements ac- counts for the name. Dear Dr. Molner: I have an- gina pectoris and take nitro- glycerin tablets. for the. pain. We are planning a mountain trip, Will high altitude affect my condition?--MRS, S.8. I wouldn't expect the altitude to bother you at all while you are travelling--that is, riding. But it cam cause shortness of breath, until you are accli- mated to it, while you are ex- erting yourself physically, You can avoid pain by moving slowly -until- you adjust. Re- cently the American Medical Association reported that a sta. tistical study shows heart dis- ease to be no more prevalen in the high-altitude states tha elsewhere, QUEEN'S PARK They. eet infae cheques paid long ago to. D have not yet been cashed, | Fea ge could be his purpose in s ELECTION. WEAPON? g He may plan to show his cheques in an election, to prove that he has not drawn the in- crease against which he spoke , with a mere six of iis rairie followers, voted in Par- liament. 2 Bae Bes One can well imagine the cf- fect he would thus create on the hustings in say Oshawa, the Okanagan, Kamloops, Char- lottetown, Guelph or Regina, where the present Congervative MPs--Mike Starr, Dave Pugh, Stuart Fleming, Dr. Willoughby, Angus MacLean, Alf Hales and Ken More--all voted in favor of the increase in pay. What would those reply if hecklers shout: "Where are your pay cheques?" Mr. D said the increase was 'difficult of justification,' so has not cashed his cheques, Have you cashed yourg?" That of course would cut the feet from under those Conserva- ives standing for re-election; they would be disastrously em- barrassed. Mr. D's statement that he does not receive "the addition' suggests that he is cashing guf- ficient cheques to yield his pay as Opposition leader at the old rate, totalling $27,000 a year, but holding up cheques match- ing last: year's pay boost of $8,000 a year. If he has kept back any cheques, he can of course cash them later to draw his increase, Pogsibly Mr. D has returned his cheques, to give his "'unjus- tified" pay increase back to us taxpayers? Or has he cashed them, and donated the proceeds to charities, as some other MPs promised to do? HOW DOES HE LIVE? But if he is holding his cheques uncashed, or otherwige disposing of them, perhaps he can live on the gifts which. Par- liament Hill talk suggests were collected for him from wealthy party supporters? Over scotch-and-sodas here, Liberals and Conservatives gos- sip that, when he stood for lead- ership of his party, he explained that as a poor prairie lawyer he could not afford the expense en- tailed. So Tories collected funds for him, raising a total esti- mated by one longtime Tory parliamentarian at $1869000.° : Others here wonder about the Diefenbaker retitement fund which his friend, the Iate Sena- tor Bill Brunt, started collect- ing in 1960? Some say he had collected only $140,000 or less towards his target when he died suddenly in 1962. 4 i Such talk recalls that the late Prime Minister Mackenzie Kin publicly regretted that he coat not afford to entertain his friends; but at death he left about $750,000, partly contri buted by Liberal supporters. Adult Education Demand Increases : By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The annourice- ment that an adult education centre is to be built in Toronto holds much more than routine interest. It represents ground-breaking for what is bound to be one of the future's most important: de- velopments, This is the first really solid step we have taken towards meeting the dual problem of adult education and retraining. It is obvious that with scien- tific progress and the growth of automation adult education will be one of the great necessities of the future. A common prediction now is that in the future a wotker will have to be retrained three times in his employment life. NEED INCREASING This means there will be tremendous demands for adult training. A constant system of adult education, And this represents an al- most entirely new segment of education. The casual night classes connected with univer- sities and secondary schools we have now won't fill the need. Specialized institutions with more comprehensive courses, and courses designed for the speeial needs of the adult stu- dents, will be required, And this new Toronto institu- tion will be a pilot plant for these, There is no question at all that eventually. this type of in stitution will] be located in cen- tres throughout the province. The current one is being built by the province (with Ottawa putting up 75 per cent of the money) and will be operated by the Toronto board of education. It is only the second of its type in Canada, there being one . already in operation in Vancou- ver, But these two institutions have to be trail-blazing. After the last war we were on the verge of great scientific advyance. RYERSON OPENED Just how much we. realized this is a matter of question. but we did realize it enough at least to start a new institution for technical training. This was Ryerson Institute. Today Ryerson is a huge in- * stitution, with five more large institutions of its type either es. tablished or being built through- ~ out the province, You can easily. see adult training centres following the same essential pattern The demand of the future is obvious, though at this point we probably dun't appreciate just how big it will be This is one time when we probably can't really quarrel with this new project being jio- cated in Toronto. ; Toronto has thé big centte of population, the unemployed, and the store of specialist teachers needed to get a vntur of this typ off the ground. : You can quarrel, however, with the Toronto board running it. The province might better have taken over the operation. @ RESIDENT PARTNERS Burt R. Waters, C.A, Robert F. Lightfoot, C.A Hon, J. W. Monteith, F.C.A., M.P. Gordon W.
