She Oshawa Times Published by Canadion Newspopers Limited. *? * 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario - T. L. Wilson, Publisher &. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1964--PAGE 6 To Students, Drivers » Youngsters are back at school, and some of them may be tempted to hitch rides with passing motor- ists. It is a dangerous practice for both children and motorists. » The kitchhiking schoolboy makes himself the captive of a driver 'whose intentions may be anything 'but good. And the well-intentioned 'driver may be putting himself at the mercy of a corrupt little brat prepared to attempt blackmail of the Good Samaritan by threatening to lay phoney assault» charges. This is not surmise. Children have béen 'attacked, and drivers have been dlackmailed. ; "The dangers of adult hitch- hiking are all too apparent in the frequent cases which come before the courts. The dangers of juvenile hitchhiking may not be so obvious, but they are all too real, The simp- lest answer seems to-be a crack- down on all forms of hitchhiking, British Columbia has already taken action, with a new provincial interpretation of the Juvenile De- linquents Act. B.C. Attorney-Gen- eral Bonner has decreed that young offenders against provincial statu- tes are to be summonsed, taken before magistrates and made to pay fines, just like older offenders. "Parents who' have tolerated their children begging transporta- tion from strangers may now en- courage them to walk,' comments the Vancouver Sun. "It's healthier, anyway. And with a fine of any- thing up to a maximum of $500 a "possibility, definitely cheaper." This may seem harsh. It may seem to be a case of using a bull- dozer to shift a pebble. But if it prevents one assault on a child, or one attempt at. blackmail of a driver, it is justified. Committee Gets Flag The referral to a parliamentary eommittee of the national flag issue does not necessarily mean that the matter will not take up a great deal more of Parliament's time, But it does mean that the debate, which had brought the Commons to the brink of chaos, has been at least postponed and that the members can get on with the job for which they were elected -- and for which they voted themselves handsome. salar- jes. Agreement on the referral to committee is being hailed by both Liberals and Conservatives as a tactical victory and there will be a lot of nattering by both sides during the next week or so over who "won", The fact is that neither side won; both lost stature by their stubborn bickering. And the big- gest loser of all may have been Parliament itself; public opinion, disgusted with recent performances in the Commons, may downgrade the institution itself, which would be a tragedy. This is what the new flag com- mittee must bear in mind, as much as the design of the flag itself. The reputation of Parliament needs to be jealousy guarded, but it will undoubtedly suffer if there is a resumption, after 'a space of a few refreshing weeks, of the disgrace- ful obstructionism and personal feuding of the past several weeks. Mr. Diefenbaker was puffing with pride after the annoucement by Prime Ministe* Pearson. The latter tried to excuse the time wasted in the flag debate by saying that most of the discussion had taken place during what would normally have been a parliamentary recess, What neither of them seem to appreciate is that consideration of much more important matters has been griev- ously delayed by their inept dis- play. The matter could have gone to committee when it first became apparent that there was substantial difference of opinion, even within parties, about the flag proposal. Let us hope that the committee will now. consider the matter sanely, reach an agreement and put before the House a proposal which can be handled with dispatch. Bankers Plan New Help The world's top bankers and financial leaders wound up their annual examination of the globe's economic health last week with a prescription for more help to econ- omically weak and backward na- tions. But at the same time they emphasized that those nations must show some esponsibility ; they can- celled the borrowing privileges of Indonesia; Ceylon and the United Arab Republic for failing to give "reasonable compensation" for ex- propriated foreign properties. The gathering in Tokyo proceeded with a quiet transformation of the World Bank; which is being groom- ed as the principal instrument for assisting underdeveloped regions. In its early years this 20-year- old institution concentrated on help- ing reconstruct the battered econ- omies of western Europe. Recently the bank has been devoting more attention to problems of the under- developed world. This year it made its first 35-year loan, for electric She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

Previous loans had been for shorter terms. In another unprecedented ac- tion, the bank permitted a grace period of several years before ask- ing first repayments on a road building loan to Liberia. Such pro- cedure assists nations that are sad- dled with heavy short-term debt. At Tokyo, bank governors ap- proved two innovations. One is to use more of the bank's burgeon- ing reserves and earnings to strengthen resources of its two affiliates -- the International De-. velopment association and the In- ternational Finance Corp, The other authorizes the bank to serve as an arbitrator or conciliator of expro- priation disputes. If this can be successfully implemented, it will be a powerful stimulus for more pri- 'vate foreign investment in the less developed countries, Other Editors' Views KENNEDY STEAMROLLER New York Times When _ President Johnson an- nounced two weeks ago that he did not want 'Attorney-General Robert F. Kennedy as his running mate, one factor was his reported: belief that the Kennedy entourage had stimulated a "draft" movement of such dimensions that Mr, Johnson might find himself stripped of all freedom of choice if he waited until the vice - presidential nomination came up at next week's Democratic convention in Atlantic City. Now the Kennedy steamroller is moving, with comparable irresisti- bility toward the consolation prize on which the attorney-general has apparently set his heart -- his can- didacy for United States. senator from New York. 4 ' ' #i yin OTTAWA REPORT Miss LaMarsh ~ SASS SS SS -- ~ ~ ~S AERIAL WARFARE Gets High Survey Rating By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Hon. Judy La- Marsh is the most successful cabinet minister, according to public opinion polls, and the most colorful if one judges by the space allotted to her in the newspapers, Eighty-eight per cent of the answerers credited Miss La- Marsh with doing an "excel- lent" or 'fair' job as minister of health and welfare. She com- fortably outpaced Finance Min- ister Walter Gordon, wno re- ceived that rating from 78 per cent. The public polls also checked the evaluation of the two other ministers of the "Big Four' whose departments are concerned with domestic gov- ernment closely affecting our daily lives. These were Trade Minister Mitchell Sharp and Justice Minister Guy Favreau who is the prime minister's chief Que- bec lieutenant, Although these are both former civil servants, long well-known around Parlia- ment Hill, they strangely proved to be the least widely - known and admired by Canadians who refrained in droves from utter- ing a verdict on their little- noticed work. Prime Minister Pearson and, for obvious reasons, Paul Mar- tin smoothly competent in his external affairs job, were not Included in the poll, Most of her cabinet colleagues would give their proverbial eye- QUEEN'S PAR teeth to know how Judy, one of the kids of the cabinet, yet to see her 40th birthday, manages to achieve public support excel- ling that won by many inuch older and more. expeiienced politicians, One or two of them with leadership ambitions are blatantly sitting at her feet to try to learn her secret. Of course being the only member of her sex in the cabi- net, she does enjoy obvious ad- vantages, which a hard - boiled politician would unchivalrousiy deny. But. the feminine touch hits one in the face the moment one walks into her office on Parlia- ment Hill. Her warmly welcom- ing work room contrasts vividly with the usual minister's drab office; in place of public works' mud-brown, it is sunburst-gay with fresh flowers. Leather- bound books in ceiling - high Shelves add an aura of the in- tellect. Photos of her Liberal col- leagues cover one wall; but relegated to solitary exposure on a distant wall is her political foe but everybody's friend, New Democratic MP "Squire" Her- ridge. The mantel is topped with a color group photo of the cabinet, and littered with souv- enirs ranging from an _ auto- graphed baseball to the coat of arms of her French ancestors, the Counts of La Marche. On her desk: her astonish- ingly heavy daily mail. And with one outgoing letter was a Polite Legislature Needs Good Shaking By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- In a few days time the Liberals will elect their new leader, And, so in the next few pieces, we will spend some time looking at various points of interest. First of all there probably should be the declaration that the writer's personal preference would be to see an outside man get the leadership. Admittedly, this is partly self- ish for 'a newcomer would make it more interesting for we newspapermen, But also I do honestly believe that an outsider would be better for both the Liberals themselves and for the public generally. SHAKE-UP NEEDED Behind this conviction is: one over-riding consideration. This is that a thorough shake- up in the parliamentary set-up here would be in the public in; terest. . In a parliamentary way, and politically, this seat of govern- ment is very much in.a rut. Our Ontario legislature is an anemic, complacent, .and ap- parently indolent* assemblage. You. perhaps would have to be here for a number of years, and to have seen other, parlia- ments in action roperly realize this. But take the word of one who has: this legislature is half- dead from the waist up, and from the belt down. FROST DOMINATED Leslie Frost is mainly sponsible for this Mr, Frost was a good man-- re- but. The former premier domi+ nated the legislature as he domi- nated the province for a decade, And he left it a poor, apologetic thing. Mr. Frost drummed "'polite- ness" into our Ontario assem- bly, He set a tone of propriety in proceedings that kept a series of: oppositions largely stifled, and stifled in their own fears. The great white father of the fifties was able to make crili- cism appear as an unfair and rather a nasty thing--certainly nothing that was done in the best of company. . And, this inevitably pervaded the whole spirit of our house. "Polite" parliaments are not good parliaments. They have only half hearts. And we have had polite Ontario parliaments now for a long time. As an instance, even the Bill 99 fight of last winter was half- hearted. With a tremendous goad from the press the opposi- tion did put on a show. But it never finished the job. It dropped its fight early, tor it was afraid if it didn't it might "look bad," This is a tone and a spirit which is bad. And it pervades this house and practically all its members. Which is why I don't think a member of this House -- with the possible exception of Eddie Sargent--could ever give the type of fighting. leadership it needs. Any member who has been in the house is too steeped in nicety. We need a bit of rougnuess, and only an outsider will pro- vide that, : cheque for $100, payable.to the vice - president presumptive-- perhaps next president--of the United States. Thereby hangs a tale. Sena- tor Hubert Humphrey was guest speaker at a lunch meeting of the parliamentary health com- mittee in March 1962. Skidding on the icy road from Montreal he. arrived too late for lunch but in time to deliver an impressive speech. Then he rushed to catch a train to Montreal, A fellow - passenger chatted with him, and like a helpful St. Bernard brought needed nour- ishment to the starving Senator --a courtesy he repaid by dis- agreeing violently with Judy -- for it was she--about the pros- pects in our 1962 election. Judy loyally bet on the Lib- erals, wagering a dinner at any restaurant in North America, and with companions, both as nominated by the winner, cost not to exceed $100. But pressure of politics on winner and loser -has delayed the pay - off of this amusing wager so Judy sent her cheque. 4 She is that kind .of person: Original, smart and _ friendly, That's probably the mysterious recipe which makes her so highly admired by the voters, WASHINGTON CALLING Carpet-Bag Issue Dogs Bob Kennedy By GORDON DONALDSON WASHINGTON (Special) -- Canadians who are accustomed to seeing their politicians scuttle across the country in search of a safe seat may be surprised at the intensity of the "carpet-bag- ger' issue now dodging Robert Kennedy in New York, The former' U.S, Attorney- General, a boyish 38, is running for the Senate from that state although he cannot vote there, being born in Massachusetts \and resident in Virginia. ' The Democrats of New York invited him to move in as their candidate after President John- son dumped him as a possible vice-president. Bobby had no al- ternative.

Shrinks Piles, Checks Itch | Exclusive healing substance proven to shrink hemorrhoids... and repair damaged tissue. A renowned research institute has found a unique healing substance with the ability to shrink hemor- rhoids painlessly, It relieves itch- ing and discomfort in minutes and speeds up healing of the injured, inflamed tissues. One hemorrhoidal! case history after another reported "'very strik- ing improvement."' Pain was promptly and genily relieved . . . actuai reduction or retraction (shrinking) took plate. Among these case histories were @ variety of hemorrhoidal condi- tions. Relief even occurred in cases of jong standing, and most im- portant of all, results were so thorough that this improvement 'was maintained over a period of many months, This was accomplished with a new healing substance (Bio-Dyne) which quickly helps heal injured cells and stimulates growth of new tissue, Bio-Dyne is offered in oint- ment and suppository form called Preparation H. In addition to actually shrink- ing hemorrhoids, Preparation H lubricates and makes elimination less painful. It helps prevent in- fection which is a principal cause of hemorrhoids.

Satisfaction guaranteed or yous money refunded, the Civil War but the term now applies to. anyone' who invades another's state looking for votes, KEATING IN TROUBLE His opponent, silver-haired Republican Senator Kenneth Keating has tied the label firm- ly around Bobby's meck. As a native New Yorker, Keating has offered Kennedy a road map and guide to the state. Paraphrasing: John Kennedy's inaugural address, he said Bob- by had not come to see what he could do for New York, but what New York could do for m. Keating is in trouble, political- ly, He refuses to suport his national leader, Senator Barry Goldwater because as a liberal he feels Goldwater is poison in the state. : So there is a good chance Ken- nedy can win the Senate seat. Although basically shy he car- ries the magic of the Kennedy name and traces of the Kennedy style. The carpetbag issue appears to worry the professional politi- cians more than the voters, If Bobby can beat it he will.enter the Senate as head of a small but powerful Kennedy "cell" in- cluding brother Teddy and for- mer Kennedy press secretary Pierre Salinger, now Senator from California. For this base he can work to- wards the ultimate ambition of every Kennedy -- the Presi- dency, which Lyndon Johnson must vacate no later than 1972, By that time Bobby will be 46 -- the age at which John Kennedy was killed, CHANGE OF COURSE Barry Goldwater believes in fiscal integrity. The nation, like its people, should balance its budget and pay its debts as it goes along. So when he hired a Boeing-727 jetliner from American Airlines for his campaign tour he made sure the press would pay for most of it -- in advance. Each news organization had to pay Se na 08,620, leaving only $71,180 the charter cost to be paid % the Republicans... NS The seats for which in press is paying so dearly are rammed together six abreast in the rear while Goldwater's _ relatively cheap accommodation up front - includes 20 first-class seats and sleeping berths. : ~ The plane is called "Ya Kin" which means "house in sky" in the language of the Navajo Indians. 4 On his first trip Goldwater abandoned fiscal integrity, He announced he was prepared to put up with an unbalanced na- tional budget for five years while he cut: income - by. twenty-five per cent, It was a dramatic change of course for Goldwater and a kick in the face for "conservative" economists, who cling to the balanced bu- et. It was the first of many sur- prises for the pay-now-fly-later press. 'NEIGHBORS' MEETING' There's just a taint of politics to Prime Minister Pearson's trip to B.C, this week to meet campaigner Lyndon Johnson on - the U.S.-Canada border south of Vancouver, ; It's all being done im the cause of U.S.-Canadian friendship, to mark the final stage of the Columbia River Treaty,. Admir- able, of course, But by meeting the President in the middle of the U.S. election campaign Mr. Pearsoy will be helping' Mr. John: demonstrate how well he gets along with his northern neighbor, The President of Mex- ico, Lopez Mateos is coming over. ten days later to express solidarity as a southern neigh- bor. . Not that Mr. Pearson can complain about being used as an election prop. He got plenty of mileage for his 1962 Canadian campaign out of that pre-cam- paign trip to Washington to meet President Kennedy at the Nobel prizewinners' dinner. NOW IT'S SIDELASH Favorite words at political cocktail parties here are back- lash (meaning the pro-Gold- water vote stirred up by white reaction to negro demonstra- tions)' and frontlash (the antl- Goldwater vote of moderate Re- publicans who can't stand Barry). Now we have sidelash-- the anti-anti vote of people who can't stand either candidate. YOUR INCOME TAX Securities Valued On Date Of Death By WILLIAM C, HALL B. Comm., CA Securities often represent an important asset of an estate. The security may take the form of shares, bonds, debentures, guaranteed investment certifi- cates, syndicate units and so on. A significant point to bear in mind when considering the value of securities is that under Canadian death duty legislation, one particular date, the date of death of the deceased, governs. An individual may own shares of ABC Company Limited which are listed on the stock exchange at $15; he dies, and within one month or even the next day they drop to $10 a share; the value for estate tax purposes, $15, The rule is harsh. Diminutions of value after death can and do occur; it may be impossible for the securities to be realize at this particular date. The laws of United States and, Great Briain recognize his problem and alternative valuation dates are provided, In the United States, for example ,the determination of value may be a death or one year after death at the option of the executors, and if the al- ternative date is chosen the value of any securities sold, be- tween the date of death and the alternative date, is the price at which the. security was sold. nder the Estate Tax Act the basis of valuation adopted for securities differs with the type of security: Quoted bods or debentures are valued at the closing 'bid' price on the date of death, If there is no quotation at this par- ticular time, then the governing value is arrived at by taking the average price of the most recent recorded sales, Interest accrued to the date of death must be included, Shares liisted on the stock ex- changye also are valued at the closing "bid" price on the date of valuation. Where no closing price is available on this day, then the last preceding day on which there was a price is used. If the closing price is recorded as "ex div', the dividend de- clared but not received is in- cluded in the valuation. In the case of unlisted shares, if a price or quotation is obtain: able from financial journals, recognized financial reports or registered brokers, this will sat- isfy the federal tax authorities, The Ontario Treasury Depart- ment basically uses the same rules of valuation. This Depart- ment, however, has no rulings general application in valuing inactive securities and each sit- uation is considered. inde- pendently. : Where the holdings of an in- dividual consist of shares held in a private or family. corpora- tion different rules apply, 'Valu- ation in this case is more com- plex. Some of the rules used in these circumstances will be con- sidered at a later date. | rei, Gol SOME BILLS Aft To Pay? cmeasendl $50 to $5000 without endorsers or bankable security SUPERIOR | FINANCE | 725-6541 17 SIMCOE ST, N. ] Daily to 5:30 p.m.!
