The Oshawa Times = Published by Canadien Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S,, Oshawa, Ont, Tuesdoy, 2 D Page 4 9, 1958 mb Growth In Philanthropy Observed By Economist An economist says Canadians have shown they are not content to sit back and let the government carry the burden of education and welfare services, In a recently-published booklet bearing the title "Philanthropic Giving on Canada," Earl F, Beach says Canadians are making increasing contributions to such causes, with some evidence not all groups have responded evenly and rignalling out the middle Income group In this particular connection, According to Professor Beach, their share of the whole seems to be surprisingly low, The author, who {§ professor of econo- mics at McGill, observes of this group that its members are made up largely of college graduates who owe most to the community for havin' provided them with a heavily-subsidized education, For the purpose, Professor Beach uses the yardstick of 1054 statistics, and his chart shows those earning between $5000 and twice that amount annually contribute 1.7 per cent of thelr income for philan« thropie purposes, That is the same per- centage as those with annual earnings between $1000 and $3000, Average contributions by those in the $3000-$5000 bracket are 1.2 per cent, In the $10,000-828,000 group, it Is two per cent and by those who earn $25,000 and more, 2,6 per cent, Professor Beach, as quoted by Marven Moss, of the Canadian Press, prepared hi charts from taxation statistics covering 1044 to 1088, His booklet shows Individual eontributions rose to $229,320,000 in 1956 from $61,« 400,000 in the earlier year, with corpore ate gving moving up from $10,950,000 in 1044 to $27,600,000 eleven year- later, These figures could well prove cone servative, it Is pointed out by Professor Beach, since they do not include gifts from private foundations, death bequests and miscellaneous sources not covered by taxation statistics, The Chicago-born educationist holds that all indications seem to point to a steady growth in both individual and corporate contributions in the fields under review, Partly, he be lieves, the reason may be they do not want big government to take over coms plete control of the education and wel« fare functions in the community, According to him, the basic factors are attributed to higher personal ine comes, increasing awareness of responsi= bilities and tax laws whch encourage voluntary contributions, His conclusions are Interesting and point to the concern being shown In these phases of commun=« {ty life by the people who make up the population of cities, towns and smaller settlements, There was nothing In the m= port to show, however, why the group he directed special attention to should ap- parently lag in this form of well-doing as compared with others The Reds Get Publicity Is the Soviet Union really outdis- tancing the western democracies in loans and other assistance to undeveloped countries? The fanfare of publicity which greets any small loan from Russia to such countries has contributed to creat. ing this impression Actually, the world, accustomed to generous gifts by the United States, gives these much less publicity What is happening in this regard ls due to a number of factors For example, Communist offers of eredit gain attention partly through sheer novelty; a loan of rubles is new, whereas much larger borrowings of dol- lars or pounds sterling are taken for granted, The rublet loans probably do represent a greater sacrifice out of the Soviet economy, And Soviet technicians expect fewer luxuries in the countries to which they go, Furthermore, Com- munist economic favors can be concen- trated in a few strategic countries Tt is only fair, though, to point eut two very great differences, One is that the Communist program consists almost entirely of loans rather than grants, The other is that in both categories the vol ume of Western "ald" far exceeds that of the Soviet bloc A British economist, Peter Wilexcal- culates in The Nation magazine that in 1988 the public credit extended by West- ern countries to less-developed areas amounted to 800 mililon dollars, besides a large amount of private investment Meanwhile the much-advertised external loans of the Soviet bloc totalled 370 millions, As to grants or gifts, the comparison ls fantastic, A contribution of one million dollars to the United Nations Technical Assistance program is all the Soviet Union could claim in this period, while grants by the United States, Britain, and other Western countries both direct and through UN agencies, reached 1350 million dollars The proportion of more than 1000 to 1 {sa something reasonably to be kept in mind by recipient countries Now It's Health Room A recent issue of a trade publication called Actual Specifying Engineer con- tains an article entitled "Bathroom of the Future." James Beatty, Jr, refers to this in an article in the Saturday Review, Here's what he says In the first place, the terminology has been altered, and we have a new concept for North Americans "the health room," The health room has a sunken swims ming poal which "allows the entire fam- ily to bathe together if they like, A slid- ing top can conceal the pool and by a touch of a button can provide fleor space for entertaining." There are 21 other marvelous features, such as "variable control health vibrator, power operated towel cabinet, refriger- ated health drink dispensers, three di- mensional television, electronic memory scale and low frequency vibrating chair," The health room has an electronic home laundry which "at the mere inser« Other Editor's Views WHERE FASHION REIGNS (New York Herald Tribune) American women pride themselves on being the best-dressed in the world, and New York prides itself on being 1.

"T suppose you think the actual speci- fying engineers are kidding," writes Mr, Beatty, "Well, they are not, They have drawn a picture of the health room, which is three times the size of your living room, and they have even carried over one old-fashioned gimmick from what we used to call the bathroom: 'A water closet with a power operated door.' "Unfortunately, there is no place in the health room to park your car, so pre= sumably people will have to walk out when they wish te go some place, al- though I cannot think of any reason why they should need to leave the health room," Wonderful thing, progress! the contre of the fashion Industry.

Then in 1038 he was appointed to be principal secretary to Prime Minister Mackenzie King Later he was appointed clerk to the Privy Council and secretary to the cabinet, where he learned the confidential deliberations of the Liberal cabinet and served as close adviser to two Liberal prime ministers His nearest friend was a senior civil servant who occupied a nearby office, located like his own in that mainspring of gov. ernment; the Fast Block-on Ot tawa's Parliament Hill, This friend was the under secretary of state for external affairs, Les. ter Bowles Pearson In IMB, Heeney's friend was appointed to the cabinet, as min. ister In charge of the department of external affairs, In a cosy lit tle shuffle, Heeney was appointed to succeed the newly - political Pearson as his chief civil serv: ant Later came appointments to two of our most import and best pald diplomatic posts abroad, at NATO in Paris and As our ambassador to Washing ton In 1008 Ambassador Heeny was being paid at the rate of $13,500 a year plus tax free allowances and expenses totalling $26,500.

There were three cases, one in Ottawa and the others In St, Thomas and London where vari. ous restrictions were imposed, or attempted, In magistrate's court After the first two Mr, Roberts issued a strong statement that there were no legal grounds for barring any reporting of prelim. inary hearings, Yot just a few days later the third Instance occurred, GEN ERAL MOTORS OTORAMA of' This would seem to be one case where a positive directive would be called for.
