She Ostharn Times ey ~~ Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T.-L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1964--PAGE 6 City Council's Decision The city council has made its de- 'cision. By a vote that was almost unanimous, it decided that the most suitable centennial project for this city would be the building of a 'swimming pool for the city's child- ren, on a site yet to be chosen. But at the same time it rejected the proposal to have the swimming poo built as an adjunct to the present community recreational centre pro- ject. Members of the city council knew in advance that no matter what de- éision they made, there would be disapointed groups in the city. Only éne project could be chosen. The proponents of the other very worthy achemes must now accept the coun- Zil's decision with as good grace as possible, and bide their time for an- éther oportunity to further their éwn particular projects. " We think the city council has nade possibly the best choice among the various alternatives offered. We think that its decision will have the Support of the majority of the peo- ple of Oshawa who realize how lack- ing this city is in facilities for the teaching of swimming and life sav- ing to its young people. It is obvious that the swimming pool as proposed - 'Will Please Majority © will serve the needs of a much larg- er number of people than the re- jected alternatives would have done. Even those who supported the Arts Theatre project would, we feel, have to admit that it would be very difficult to maintain such a project on a self-supporting basis. One has only to point to the inadequate num- ber who attended the recent per- formance of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet in Oshawa to'note that an Arts Theatre in Oshawa would have a limited appeal and limited use. Oshawa Little Theatre experience points in the same direction. The proposal to build a swimming pool as an adjunct to the commun- ity recreation centre project fell by the wayside because the major- ity of theNaldermen felt that, a cen- tennil project should stand on its own feet as a worthy project, and not merely tacked on to something that is already being created. The question of location also entered into the picture. So all things being considered, we believe the majority of Oshawa's citizens will support the council's decision, and will await with inter- est the choice of a site for the new centennial swimming pool. 'Contrasts In Education . An important function took place in the city of Stratford, Ontario, the other day. It was important to Stratford because it marked the turning of the first sod for the con- struction of the first public school to be erected in Stratford in a per- iod of 85 years. The new school will have 13 classrooms and a gym-. nasium auditorium, and will cost $500,000. Stratford taxpayers are very for- tunate in this respect--that this is the first time for 35-years that they have had to face expenditures for the construction of a new school. When one considers the number of yew,schools which have had to be built in Oshawa in the last 10. years, An Ironical A couple of weeks ago, eight Can- adians won $150,000 each in the trish Sweepstakes on the Cam- bridgeshire horse race. Several oth- ers won prizes of lesser amounts. Last week in London, Ontario, 14 men and a woman yere fined a to- tal of $2750 hen convicted on charges of, selling tickets for the Irish Hospitals Sweepstakes. Such a situation is, to say the least,.ironical, It is paradoxical that some Canadians by buying these tickets can win fortunes on the re- sult of a race, while those who sold them the tickets are guilty of a ser- ious offence against the laws of Canada and liable to heavy fines. One of those convicted. in London was fined $1000. In this context, it is interesting to note that at the opening of the autumn assizes_ in Brantford re- cently, Mr. Justice E, G. Moorhouse made a scathing attack 'on lotteries and all forms of gambling. Lot- teries, he said, were expensive to Bye Oshawa Times T. .L. WILSON, Publisher R, C. ROOKE, General Manager ¢.. J.

There is another side to the story, however. The fact that Stratford has not needed to build a new school for 35 years seems to indi- cate that the city's population must have remained fairly static over that period, with no very. substan- tial increase in the school popula- tion. Could this be a sign of stag- nation? Heavy expenditures for schools has been one of the penal- ties of Oshawa's rapid growth. But perhaps Stratford might be rather envious of the fact that, this growth has been so substantial a& to require so many new schools in Oshawa.

He appealed for a higher standard of morality on which con- tinuance of a democratic way of life depended, Obviously there is something wrong. with laws' which 'penalize jy, who sell sweepstake tickets, and yet permit their buyers to win sums like $150.000 with consequent prominent publicity in the press. Other Editors' Views ABSURD LAW (Globe and Mail, Toronto) Any law must be in harmony with the prevailing morality of the so- ciety it is intended to order, Other- wise it will inevitably be ignored, and this Jeads to disrespect for all law. For young people observing their parents and other adults, the significance of Ontario's liquor lay is that the law is absurd. Therein for immature minds lurks a sug- gestion that other regulations as well can be considered negligible when it suits individual inclination.

Sir: An editorial in your paper of October 20 last has. been brought to my attention by a very much exorcized public re- lations department. I can only say that I agree wholeheartedly with your editor- fal which was entitled "Com- missions Must Stay'. Unfortun- ately, either the reporter of the Lindsay meeting became a lit- tle confused or I was making myself far from clear, The fact, in any event, -is that the Select Committee of the Legislature on Revisions to the Municipal and Related Acts pro- posed an unanimous recommen- dation that The Public Utilities Act' be repealed and all the functions of the local utility be vested in the local Municipal Council. At the Lindsay convention of District No. 1 of the Ontario Municipal Electrical Associa - tion, I congratulated this district in particular and the OMEA gen- erally in the way they had quickly met the challenge and presented briefs to this select committee at their hearings in Kingston, Sudbury, Port -Ar- thur, London, Windsor, Niagara- on-the-Lake, Barrie and Toron- to, strenuously opposing the re- commendationNef the commit- tee. By the way, '\was support- ed by the memberspof our Pro- vincial Commission in also pre- YOUR HEALTH senting a brief to the Commit- tee strongly opposing its. re- commendation. I also assured the Lindsay meeting that« at least some members of the Select commit- tee were obviously having sec- ond thoughts about the recom- mendation and in' any event - the probability of its acceptance by the government was very remote. I did, however, remind them at least five members of the Committee had sat as Mayor on local utility. commis- sions and their own experience could not have been too impres- sive, I, therefore, tried to im- press upon the local commission- ers that they were conducting / one of the large operations in the municipality and under pres- ent conditions of expansion and technical break-through, they must. continually be on their toes to keep their utility fully abreast of these developments and provide their customers with the best possible modern service. must in fairness add_ that Oshawa through the years and at present is very fortunate in the calibre and integrity of its commissioners who have al- ways kept their city high on the list of the well-managed and progressive utilities in the Province.

Dear Dr. Molner: My wife evidently is a misguided ex- pert on keeping everyone in the family healthy, and cannot be deterred from her objective. We have two daughters in high school, aged 15 and 17. Like many*others in this age bracket: they have spells of binding constipation. As soon as their mother becomes aware of either girl's inability to have a bowel movement, she is un- willingly closeted'in the bath- room until she submits and has a full 2-4 quart soapsuds en- ema. I feel that the full amount is too much for them now. She also embarrasses the girls in front of their friends in the house by going to their rooms and telling them to ex- cuse, themselves for a time be- cause she is ready to give them an enema. When I suggest other reme- dies I am told that girls are always constipated &s they grow up, and that having en- emas will keep them cleared out and healthy. Over the years my wife has been a constant user of the en- ema herself. How. do you deal with such a person?--B.C, I'm dreadfully sorry for these girls, but I don't .know how to deal with such a person except by presenting the facts and hoping that she will listen to reason Girls always con- stipated, There is no reason why they should be constipated at all, provided they are given a reasonably good diet. If the girls are truly consti- pated, something is wrong and you'd better have your doctor take charge. However, you tell me. nothing are NOT to convince me that they really- are constipated at ail, but rather only that, -if they don't happen to have a bowel move- ment when their mother thinks they should, that she thereupon \ decides arbitrarily that they are '"'constipated" and must be subjected to a -brutally large enema. For the amouft you describe is beyond all reason, and besides the soapsuds will be irritating and serve no good purpose anyway. The added indignity of. haul- ing these young ladies away from their friends, and without even the decency not to blab that they must have their en- emas--this I can' interpret in no other way than to feel that the mother, for some distorted emotional reason, is really pun- ishing the girls. The mother herself seems to have a_ strongly established "enema habit'? which she in- tends to force on her daughters to their life-long misery unless they understand what is hap- pening to them and can ward it. off. Frankly, it- sounds to me as though this cruel insistence on huge and wnnecessary enemas must be neurotic. For the welfare of the girls, I think their bowel habits should be supervised by your doctor--and only by him. Dear Dr. Molner: My daugh- ter is 21. The outer layer of skin of her lower lip is always peeling off. What could cause this?7--MRS, C, S. Does she have a habit of bit- ing her lip?

McINTYRE HOOD The issue of a new and dis- tinctive Canadian flag has once more been thrust into the cockpit of the House of Com- mons. As was anticipated when the committee was set up, it was not possible to produce a unanimous report. The party alignment on the issue was too strong. While the Liberal, New Democratic Party and Social Credit members were able to agree on a specific design, the Conservative members, or at least four of the five of them, held out against it, so that the "almost unanimous" report spe- cified by John Diefenbaker as a pre-requisite to adopting the committee's report without an- other long drawn-out debate was not fulfilled. So it appears likely that the house is due for an- other session of filibustering on an issue which is not worth a fraction of the time adready, spent upon it. The design recommended by Pariiament by the flag commit- tee differs' from 'the original Pearson design, and the NDP Party design in only minor re- spects, It calls for a large red maple leaf on a white back- ground, with red vertical bars at either side of the flag. Mr. Pearson favored. three maple leaves with blue bars down the' OTTAWA REPORT side. The NDP preferred to have one maple leaf with blue bars at each side. FEW CARE NOW This national flag debate has gone on so long now, and has consumed so much time of the House of Commons, time which should have been devoted to much more important subjects, that most of the people of Can- ada have become disgusted with the whole affair, The matter has now reached such a stage that I doubt if many of the people of Canada care very much which design is adopted for the new flag -- if there is to be one. If, as is expected, the Con- servatives force on the. House of Commons another long and inconsequential 'debate on the design of the new flag, in the face of the committee's major- ity in favor of the recommended design, these Tory tactics will not. do that party any good in the minds of the public. WOULD HURT DIEFENBAKER In fact, in my opinion, if Mr. jefenbaker proves to be as stybborm and intractable in the deb: come as he was in the previous debate before the flag committee was appointed, To Study Trade With W. Indies By PATRICK NICHOLSON An all - party delegation of parliamentarians will represent Canada at the 10th meeting of the Commonwealht Parliamen- tary Association, which will be held in: Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 2 - 22, Canada's eight dele- gates include Alf Hales, Con- servative MP. from Guelph, and Robert Beaule, Creditiste MP from Quebec City. Hamilton sells canned hams there. "There is also the matter of our aid to The West Indies, under our external aid pro- gram;" he told me. "We send teachers there, and this is a most valuable form of assist- ance," Then too there is the fate .of the two magnificent cargo and passenger - carrying ships, the I spoke to Alf Hales prior to "ederal Maple and the Federal his departure for the West In- dies, On his way to Jamaica, he will spend two days in the little island of Antigua, as a specially invited guest of government.

I asked Mr. Hales what points he particularly wishes to dis- cuss during his tour. As a busi- ness man.himself, he is in- clined and well fitted to explore trade possibilities. TRADE AND AID "I believe there are consider- able opportunities for us to ex- trade with The West Indies," he told me.

MAC'S MUSINGS Approaching the observance Of Remembrance Day again, It is fitting to remind Our people that coupled With its ceremonies is The annual sale of poppies To be worn by everyone In tribute to those who Gave their lives for others In the two world wars." The simple replica of the Crimson poppy of Flanders Is a fitting symbol of Remembrance, and through The Royal Canadian Legion All of our citizens will Have the opportunity on Saturday hext of buying And wearing a poppy. It is worth noting that These poppies are, made By war veterans who are 80 Disables that they. are Unable to undertake any Other kind of work, and That by buying poppies Our people are helping to Give them a_ livelihood. In addition to this, it Is worth noting that the Proceeds of Poppy Day go In their entirety into the Oshawa Branch Poppy Fund Which year in and year out Provides timely assistance . To veterans who.are in Need or in distress. For all these reasons It Is important that our Citizens give their full Support to Poppy Day, and Take part in the annual Remembrance Day _ observ- ance : By buying and wearing. a Poppy, which is the red Symbol of sacrifice, , o ' ' him to try to untangle any dif- cuss the issues in the General ~ficulties or visit their cus- tomers 'whilst in the islands. W.C. Woods, for example, has a market for freezers; Stirling Rubber sells sungeons' rubber gloves and. similar articles; General Electric is interested in marketing transformers there; James R. Kearney man- ufactures electrical pole line hardware which is in demand there; and Essex Packers of its Palm, which Canada donated to, the short-lived federation of the West Indies. What has hap- pened to them? Are they still operating, and helping the is- lands? Alf Hales wants to en- quire about that. OUR TOMORROW The agenda of tle actual con- ference provides for discussion on such points as 'The way ahead for the Commonwealth", "Aspects of Parliamentary De- mocracy' and 'International Affairs." The delegates will dis- cuss trade and aid within the Commonwealth as' well as ma- chinery for co-operation; and the preservation of world peace "The West Indians look to Canada to assist them," Alf Hales told me. "Canada has the highest reputation on all those islands, while the U.S.A. is frowned on and suspected of ex- ploitation." Alf Hales is the only Conser- vative MP on this delegation. Next month a Canadian delega- tion will attend the NATO par- liamentarians conference. in Paris, France; the Conserva- tive MPs will include one from Nova Scotia, one frofi Saskat- chewan and two from Man- itoba, Tory MPs attending the United Nations General Assem- bly will include one from Man- toba, Mike Starr and Wally Nesbitt from Ontario, and Mrs. Jones from Saskatchewan. El- don Woolliams from Alberta and one MP from Ontario went to the Parliamentary meeting in Denmark last month, No Tory MPs from Quebec have been picked by the party leader for any of these trips--and are they mad! the public reaction against him would become even more out- spoken than it has been. Not long ago,a prominent Conservative - politician, 'who ghall be nameless, put to me the point-blank question: 'Why has Mr. Diefenbaker become so un- popular with the public, and particwarly within his own party?" Naturally, I felt that he should know the answers to .~ that question far better than I did, because he had been closer to the picture and I had been out of Canada for over six years. But the thing that sur- prised me was that such a ques- tion should have been asked by a man who had been an ardent supporter of Mir. Diefenbaker, - and possibly still is. ANSWER PROVIDED One of the answers; however, will be provided if the forth- coming debate on the flag com- mittee's report should drag on interminably without a final de- cision being reached, because of the Conservative leader's re- fusal to accept any compromise and his determination to have his own way, as if he were still the head of the government. The national flag issue is one which should never have been allowed to be treated from a partisan political standpoint, It should, from the start, have been made a matter of a free vote of the members of the House of Commons, with no party pressure or whips on the members. It is, however, too Jate to hope that this is how it wil] be treated when the report is debated. But the sooner the committee's recommendations are put to a vote and a decision reached, the better it will be for the conduct of the pressing public business which still re- mains before the House of Com- mons, and which should take precedence over academic de- bates as to what symbols repre- sentative of Canada will appear on the new Canadian flag. & _ TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 2, 1964...
