fie Osharon Stmes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. ea a A RUSSIAN MAGAZINE HAS FOUND SOVIET ADVERTISING DULL AND SAYS THEY NEED 'EYE-CATCHING, EASY- To- REMEMBER, VARIED AND ATTRACTIVE ADVERTISING * Wednesday, November 5, 1958 Poge 4 Robbery By Inflation And Placing The Blame Some pretty tough talk about infla- tion was handed the annual meeting of the Life Insurance Advertisers' Asso- ciation in Montreal a few days ago by D. E. Kilgour, vice-president and man- aging director of the Great West Life Assurance Company. The toughness was a weléome change from the nambypam- by approach of too many of our public figures. Inflation is more than a rob- ber of purchasing pewer; it is a menace to western civilization, now faced with a great economic challenge from the Communist world, Mr, Kilgour was mainly concerned with inflation as a robber, He describ- ed it as "a technique of stealing money without the embarrassment of identify- ing the victim or too closely pointing out the beneficiaries of the theft." He pointed out that life-insurance policy- holders, owners of savings accounts and bonds, pensioners and "all those peo- ple whe are thriftily saving from their earnings of today so that they and their families may enjoy the dignity of independence when necessary," are be- ing victimized. He scoffed at the idea that inflation is inevitable -- "I am convinced that they (the factors) are thoroughly sus ceptible of solution and one can readily identify the chief offenders." Among the chief offenders he named govern- ment, observing that "it has come to be almost a political axiom on this conti- nent that the way to get elected is to promisc to spend more money " He charged that in a land of plenty, bulg- ing with food, raw materials and pro- ductive capacity, the threat of contine ued inflation can only exist as an ad- mission of lack of integrity and moral courage on the part of a majority of the leaders of governments. It is difficult to argus with Mr, Kil- gour on any point. Inflation is a men~ ace, and governments do make more and more promises to spend money. But governments are not made up of creatures from some other world. They are composed of men and women who must first be elected, And there is lit- tle chance of anyone getting elected these days without opening for the vo- ters a regular grab-bag of promises. Now who is to blame for this situa= tion, the candidatc or the people who vote for the most plausible dispenser of promises? And what would happen to the candidate whc promised only "blood, sweat and tears," or jam sand- wiches instead of a chicken in every lunch pail? What is needed is adult education in basic economics. An informed elector- ate would undoubtedly produce a less "promising" band of legislators. Springhill Suggestion The Springhill Disaster Fund con- tinues to grow as Canadians respond to the challenge of tragedy in the Nova Scotian mining town, There are widows and orphans to be taken care of. There have been two miracles in Springhill; one hundred men caught in the depths of the shattered mine reached safety-- but there are 50 known dead and 24 others missing and presumed dead. It is too much to hope that there can be a third miracle. What most people are thinking of at the moment is the plight of the women and children bereaved by the disaster. But some thought should also be given the future of Springhill itself. Springhill is a community of about 7,000 people. When an explosion rocked one of the miinés in 1956, and fire swept through the business district in 19567, it was said that the end had come for the town, But miners are stubborn and independent men, accustomed to hard work.. Springhill refused to die, And undoubtedly Springhill will refuse to die again, But the mines may die-- and men who have shot dice with death twice in little more than two years may be understandably reluctant to try a third gamble, Why should ~ere not be an effort to give hope to the town, as well as to those who now sorrow for loveu ones they have lost? We suggest that the Nova Scotian and federal governments could co-operaie on # study of the eco- nomic potential of the Springhill dis- trict, with a view to interesting some other industry in establishing itself in the town or the district, For the people of Springhill, such a development could well prove to be the third miracle. Speech From The Throne The new session of the Mother of Parliaments was opened by the Queen with all of the time-encrusted pageant ry. Following precedent set at Ottawa & year ago, proceedings were televised with an embarrassing gap in the pro- gram caused by the attitude of mem- bers of the House of Commons. They, it appears, object to having the Green Chamber invaded by such modern con= traptions as TV cameras, with accom panying commentators. Their reasons make curious reading and would have delighted the hearts of Gilbert and Sullivan. According to the London correspon= dent of a Toronto newspaper, the oppo- sition came 'from -a fear that viewers actually seeing the Queen read a speech addressed to 'my government' and 'ministers' would not realize it was real- ly drafted by the cabinet as a factual account of the government's proposals in the coming session." It was added that "this fear was shared by both par- ties" with Opposition leader Hugh Gait- skell warning that "the sight of the Queen reading this speech might be 'misleading.' " He emphasized how important it was the Crown should not be involved in party politics, Prime Minister Macmil- lan "readily agreed and declared ev- ery opportunity would be taken to re- move any such apprehension." The re- port went on to say that when the Queen read the speech and handed it back to the Lor¢ Chancellor, "commen« tators on sound and TV droned off what sounded like a commercial plug for the House of Commons."

AVERAGE DAILY NET PAID 16166 warned the unseen audience 'again and again" that what they were getting was "a ministerial declaration of policy" and not proposals written by the Queen herself. The Canadian who made these ob- servations could be expected to see such things in a different light to that in which Messrs. Macmillan, Gaitskell and their followers are allegedly bath- ed. Surely some of them had their tongues in their cheeks when offering what is not a reason, but rather the flimsiest of excuses, with regarc to the real place of the Speech irom The Throne. It is but a sketchy outline of legislation the government plans to in- troduce and few there be who would think of it otherwise -- if, indeed, there are any. History records with what vigor Commoners have defended their rights against princes and politicians bent on limiting them. That is as it should be and there is still reason to remain on guard in this respect in behalf of the people they represent at Westminster, But the idea these same people are so ill-informed as to believe Parliamnt is taking orders from the reigning sov- ereign is altogether too naive, It is one thing to be je: lous of prerogatives and zealous in upholding them. It is quite another to underrate the intelligence of the people.

They have been brought up (virtually born) with their attitudes to the colored folk. They are unlikely to change their thinking even if by legislation they are forced to change their actions.

We may now expect a how! of anguish from Liberal apologists, who will protest in their usual parrot crv that this royal commission is witch-hunt- ing, that its report is McCarthy- ism, and that it has insulted those good friends of Canada who came here to promote the Trans- Canada pipe line--for their own financial gain. For this report certainly cqn- stitutes a damning epitaph on the sell-out by the former Liberal government, which precipitated the headlined pipeline debate in Parliament in the summer of 1956. The basic criticism then was that the Liberal government used the money of Canadian tax. payers to enable the pipeline to be built, but nevertheless allowed the profits on that pipeline to ac- crue to the promoters, and not to the taxpayers whose money made the whole thing possible. HEADS OR TAILS 1 WIN If the promoters had gambled their own cash, nobody would have objected to them receiving the profit when success came their way. If the government had made it a publicly-owned pipe- line, bringing its profits to the people of Canada, nobody would have objected to the people's money paying for its building But what happened was this. The Liberal government made available some $154,000,000 of vour money and mine, to enable the pipeline to be built. Since then, the promoters and others who got in on the ground floor have already had the opportunity to make in excess of that amount in tax-free capital profits. But no profits are coming to the tax- payers whose $154,000,000 made the whole thing possible. And al- though these huge profits have been available and in part have already been cashed in, we the taxpayers have not even had our major contribution repaid. Some of the promoters were able to buy shares in the pipeline at $1 each. They could have sold theth for about $36 each. Or, if they prefer to keep the shares, they can receive dividends esti- mated to amount to a staggering 150 per cent on their investment for year after year, according to figures given in the House of Commons by Alistair Stewart, former MP from Winnipeg. AMERICAN BONDAGE The Borden commission's re- port refers in strong words to the case of one promoter, who has potential tax-free profits of nearly $2,000,000 which could have been obtained without risk- ing a dollar, and who was guar- anteed $250,000 for five years work. He is identified as Nathan Eldon Tanner, who had for 15 vears been a cabinet minister in the Social Credit government of Alberta. "The government of Canada should have insisted," says the report, that as a condition of fi nancial assistance to the com- pany, steps should be taken to preclude Mr. Tanner from "reap- ing very large capital profits" from a company which "was being financed, in an essential part and at a crucial time, with public funds." This use by the Liberal govern- ment of taxpayers' money to fi nance a private venture was crit- fcized in Parliament especially on the grounds that some of the promoters were what John Dief- enbaker in 1956 called "Texan adventurers and buccaneers." Charles Rea, M.P., called their deal "Trans we-cant-raise-the- money Canada Pipe Lines Ltd." He said that one of "those poor little millionaires" owned and controlled, directly and in. directly, companies with assets of $2,285,250,000. Yet he came begging a paltry $82,000,000 "from the hard-earned money of our working people, so he can go into business and make a profit." It is clear now that there was full justification for the criticism made of the Liberal government in 1956 by both Conservives and CCF members. The Borden report makes it clear that the promoters did nothing that was not legal; but our government should not have made our money BYGONE DAY 25 YEARS AGO His Honor Judge J. A.

PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM available to build the pipeli without insisting that the pipeline should belong to the taxpayers, so that you and 1 would reap those huge profits rather than foreign "buccaneers.'" FOR BETTER HEALTH Stutterer Should Get Immediate HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. Although stutterers as a group apparently show no consistent neurotic behaviour, we know that for many persons stuttering does lead to serious maladjustment. Stuttering is a problem which should be treated promptly. Since #t usually begins before the age of six, it is up to parents to ar- range for treatment shouid their child develop this speech disorder. GET RECOMMENDATION Your doctor or pediatrician probably ean recommend a good pathologist or clinic. That is a much more reliable way of find- ing help than merely looking up names in a phone book. First job of the speech path. ologist will be to try to diagnose the stage of the stuttering case and the. specific characteristics of the symptom pattern. Knowl- edge of both are essential in plan- ning adequate therapy. ADVISES PARENTS A speech expert's technique in coping with cases of primary stuttering will probabiy seem a bit odd to you. He will work more with you parents than with the child. He will advise you on how to manage the youngster and how to deal with his speech be- havior. It is unlikely that he will Attention want to deal difectly with the child's speech. In secondary stuttering, how- ever, a more direct approach is generally employed. Whiie guid- ance of the parents and teachers once again is of primary import- ance, the speech pathologist In these cases also works directly with the child. AWARE OF PROBLEM * The secondary stutterer is very much aware of his problem. why it usually is advisable to take him into the therapy program as a full-fledged partner. It's good for him to know that people are trying to help him overcome his difficulties. The child must become emo- tionally adjusted to his stuttering. He must be taught to accept it, to examine it objectively and te work with it, A two-pronged method of at- tack is used. Through a gradual process, secondary symptoms are modified and then eliminated. One by one these reactions are identi fied, discussed and then finally eliminated. GENERAL PROGRAM At the same time a general program is conducted aimed at developing the youngster's will inguess to speak the stutter open- "Wouldn't you like to join the bird watchers?' -- Title of mage azine articie.

QUEEN'S PARK Wrong Estimates Use Natural Gas By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent The Oshawa Times TORONTO--There is not much in the Borden energy report of direct application to the province. The only pertinent recommen- dation at a cursory reading is that present provincial controls ,. over distribution might be trans- ferred to the proposed federal enfrgy board or the federal board of transport, : This proposal is straight whis- tling in the dark. . Even if we ever did agree to it here--which we never would--the chances of getting Quebec con- sent are non-existent. WRONG ESTIMATE One reference in the findings intrigued the reader. This noted how wrong Trans-Canada Pipe Lines had been in its estimates of Canadian consumption. In its early stage the company contracted for 4,500,000,000,000 feet of gas from Alberta. It estimated this would give it plenty of gas to service its Cana- dian customers and allow a sup- ply for export to the U.S. This was extreme under-estimation. It 1s now asking the Alberta energy board for a further 1,500,- 000,000,000 feet to service Canada alone. If it had permission at the moment to sell to the U.S, it wouldn't have the gas. AMAZING SERIES This fs only the most recent in an amazing series of wrong esti- mates--or guesses--in the natural gas, and in fact the whole public utility picture, so far as it con- cerns the province. Back in the early days, it will be recalled, three separate groups were retained to study the potential of a Canadian gas line. of them recommended against the line, and the third was not overly enthusiastic. Yet to the most routine ob- server it was obvious that their estimates were too timid In the case of Sudbury, for in- stance, there was no reckoning on huge International Nickel Com- pany as a potential consumer. It now is growing to be one of the big natural gas users in the country, CONVERSION TOO The same timidity was evident in the estimates of the size and costs of the frequency conversion program: made in 1947, can' the job isn't finished, In that case there wasn't lowance for growth--which government economist, rH hy expert" opinions don't rate highly around here, he oo Experience, ticul utilities field, has been that ama: teurs often are more a right than LH gg ig i Lil E ARE YOU SURE YOU COULD FACE IT ALONE?
