Bsyfleltf street Barrie Ontario IAGE FOUR TUESDAW JULY 1960 EDITORIAL Raising Education Money Comes From Somewhere Ontarlo Liberal leader John Winter meyer believes that the full financial cost of education from elementary to univer sity levelshould be borne by the prov ince His suggestion he predicts might re duce property tax as much as 50 per cent in some areas Annual cost for the program he esti mates would be in the neighborhood of $3000000DO This sum taken from the backs of pro partyowners would have to be raised somewhere else Mr Wintermeyer sug gests that maybe sales tax on top of the other taxes would be the answer comments The Sarnla Observer When Mr Wintermcyer explains his thesis it sounds reasonable enough to his listeners But it would likely be in for bit of trouble if an attempt was made to introduce it the way he sug gests Taking the financial cost of educa tion from the municipality and handing it over to the province would mean an end to local control over education Ev en today provincial grants are cutting into the power of school boards Anyone who believes that property owners would benefit much by being re lieved of the costs of education is think ing wishfully Experience has proven that when reason for tax is eliminat ed the tax usually remains Municipal ities already clamoring for new tax money would probably absorb that 5300 000000 overnight getting some much needed and longdelayed public works which have been sidetracked because of the increasing bite education has been taking out of the tax dollar Everyone will agree that something must be done about education Solution after solution has been suggested In practically every case it has been search for new ways of tapping the tax payer It is rarely that anyone hagever suggested taking long look at the whole educational system with view of paring some of the fat from tremendous costs of buildings constructed to enhance the reputation of architects and impress vis ltols These added costs have resulted in no apparent upgrading of scholarship being turned outbythese increasingly plush fountains of learning No one has suggested that administrative bureauc racy mey have snowballed into some tning tlat increases costs with no coni pensating return in efficiency Mr Wintcrmevers suggestion if it was carried out would probably end up with homeownersrpaying us much as ever plus an additional saes tax to pay the provincial bill for education Farm Accidents worst July is the worst month for farm ac cidents which is as good reason as any or the selection oi week during the month as Farm Safety Week which starts July 24 As Dr Herinam pre sident of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture states recent national survey of farm ac cidents in Canada indicated that one in every four farm families is involved in farm accident annually and one in every 50 such accidents is fatal As 13 per cent of last years accidents occurred during July We think that this is an ideal time to conduct such safety program Every person who reallzas the tremendous losses incurred by Can adian agriculture through farm accid ents becomes immediately aware of the need forvan effective accident prevention program From the National Safety Council come these tips on how to avoid harvest hazardsx Moving machinery on public roads is necessary but dangerous harvest job obey traffic laws warn motorists with flags by day safety lights and re flective material by night post flagmen if visibility is limited by hills curves or obstructions Child victims of harvest accidents are often injured or killed in driveways or farm yard Do not allow small children into work areas unless accompanied by an adult who can give them full atten tion Df older children want to help supervise them carefully Combine operation requires good judgment Know your machine Shut off power before cleaning adjusting or lub ricatlng Be certain that everyone is clear before engaging the power Sunstroke and heat exhaustion and cool clothing to protect from the sun Drink plenty of water and take salt tablet with glaseful or add table spoon of salt to each gallon Avoid excessive fatigue Drive carefully while hauling grain Tractor brakes are not Very effective in stopping loaded grain wagon Keep hitches in good condition Use safety chain when hauling on public roads Never work under lifted dump box and carry no extra riders Opinions of Other Newspapers N0 JOB FOR AMATEUR Peierborough Exruniner The handling of national eeonomit is not job for amateurs or speculators too much is at stake if we take the proper view of the com munity it should be that all endeavors must be directed towards sustaining full employment and full production The economy must be kept on an even keel so that pay packets are regular and uninterrupted It is to this end that industry and government must plan their policies WHY COMMIT SUICIDE Brantford Exposier This is morbid but important question Why do about 20 of every 100000 persons in Sweden commit suicide Why is the Japanese rate still higher with 24 of every 100000 The Financial Post speculating on possible reasons remarls that the Japanese or many of them do not regard suicide atvall ignohle and in any case life is bitterly hard for mil ions of them This however does not apply in the case of Sweden for Swedes enjoy the high est standard of living in Europe and also have quite elaborate socialwelfare system One would think therefore that the average Swede would have comparatively speaking lot to live for Incidentally in Canada and the United States where the living standards are even higher than in Sweden the suicide rate is not nearly com parable For Canada it is 75 Per 100000 and for the United States ten per 100000 So asks our contemporary it some mad ness under the Arctic sun Significantly Fin lands rate is 219 and Denmarks 255 but Nor war equally Scandinavian has suicide rate of only 74 There may be some tragic death wish buried deep in the Swedish character But it is more likely that the high rate can be explained by state and family attitudes toward the individual is there not enough incentive in welfare state to struggle to winand to livel In spite of The Financial Posts inference there is no quick or easy answer If one can be found at all it will require much research by lot of specialisLs ruEsis 0N

Path To Assert Independence WELLINGTON NZ CP Despite long experience in self government and an expanding role in international affairs New Zealsnd still treads an undulat ing path in trying to assert its full independence willingly or involuntarily New Zealnnds foriunes are inextric ably interwoven with those of Britain To the extent its eco nomic health depends largely on its exports to the United King dam of butter cheese meat and wool New Zealand is compelled to cling to the apron strings of the mother country When butter prices are up New Zealanders live in clover when the market collapsus as it perilj odically does belts are automir tiesin tightened In good times such as during the Korean war when wool sold at more than $3 pound New Zealand practice has been to im port freely luxury consumer goods spend lavishly and not save for rainy day When as at the beginning of 1958 reaction sets in stringent import controls are imposed to combat severe foreign exchange shortage and living becomes austere LOOKS T0 EUROPE These are the facts of life which New Zealands economists politicians and diplomats have to accept in seeking solution to paradoxical problem of how to continue to enjoy the luxury of political freedom but escape from an economic strait jacket Some predict there can be no answer as long as New Zealand lives solely oil agricultural exports amid indications that the value of farm output can no longer keep pace with the needs of fastrising population Economic fa or influence New Zealands intematioual out look explaining its external aflt fairs departments emphasis on Europe rather than Asia unlike neighboring Australia Trade and external affairs officials maintain concerned watch on develop ments towards establishing Eu ropcan common markets They fear any move to build additional walls against New Zea land produce in an already re stricted market in which the United Kingdom remains the only country without quantitative bar riers against dairy products When Britain occasionally chooses to buy Polish or even Ca nadian butter at lower prices many New Zealanders erupt with walls of protest at what they consider tr ai by the mother country of her overseas offspring calmer official attitude while deploring dumping at subman ket quotations by any country recognizes that Britain is free to buy where she likes but come what may still buys about 90 pei cent of New Zeeiends exports New Zealand it is argued must help herself and this can be done by tailoring the agricultural sys iem to market conditions by es tablishing stabilization funds and encouraging home onsumption by subsidizing consumer prices of butter at 25 cents pound Raw materials rather then finished goods should be lmporied per mittingNew Zeaiand skill to complete

needed Now the question is will they also finltl new head OTHERS DID There is one great difference in the background of the Liberals in Quebec and Ncw Brunswick and of the party here in recent years This is that in the other two pigaviuces the party was able to Here all it has been able to do is lry in all three cases new group took over the pariy helm An in each there was de termination to revamp and drive on to win But in the other two provinces the group concerned was able to go ahead and do the job required Here it has not been able to N0 HEAD in Quebec and New Brunswick it was obvious there had to be strenuous reorganization And this was carried out it also was realized that the party was out of touch with the people That new proposals and policies had to be formulated These were drafted and aggres elver presented The same needs have been ap preclated here But to date they have not been met And the observer must say the reason is lack of heedof the ability to apply some real thought THEY PLANNED There has been an attempt at intensive organizalion in Ontario for more than year It appar ently has been showing some re will But nothing like Ihe party heedxuitietogetbaekoa it eel And on policy there has been even less progress As we all know policy wise the Ontario Liberals have been wondering all over the ioL The contrast in the approach taken in Quebec is significant When Mr Lesage tool over the party leadership there he first of all had study made and paid 337000 for it It gave him clues es is where he party was falling down and where It might pick up He then brought down his pro gram which included among other points free education through uni verrity And in his determined organi zaiion effort he not only travelled the province day in and day out but saw that ihore were good candidates in the ridings The key task in organizing More or less the same pattern was followed in New Brunswick Here it hasnt been There has been the desire and to some ex lent the effort but there hasnt been the planning And that would seem to be the immediate lob facing the Liber REPORT FROM UK Company Plans For Scottish Pulp By McMYRE R001

areas has the necessary geographical and economic at tributes Plans for theyesteblish ment of chipboard factories at iverness and Dumfrlesshlre are also included PROBLEMS SOLVED The forestry commission has now reached the stage of over coming all the problems of crest ing and establishing the coun trysforesi estates Theproblem now is how best to reap return on the investment while at the some time preserving the 140 million asset so laboriously built up Watt Director of Forestry for Scotland estimates that by the end of the 1960 planfing seaA son 550000 acres will be under timber This area about six per cent of the total land area will yield total of more than 550 million trees apart from ensur ing the perpetuation of native Scotch pins the reforestation program has the important goal leieconomic advantage of st trseting workers and their fam ilies back to the Highlands The plans of Scottish Pulp De velopment fit in very well with this objective as they envisage largescele employment in the projected pulp and chiphoard Mills REJOPULALTION The main area concerned with the preservation of Scotch pins the particular value of which is that it will survive in the acid soil of the Highlands is the Ran noch Forest in central Perlh shire Here nearly 40 foresters are employed and small vil lags has sprung up for them at the east end of Loch Rannnch The increase in
