The Osha Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 4 Monday, Merch 23, 1959 City Now Big Business Needs General Manager ! Oshawa' budget for 1950 has climbed fo $7,780,800 from last year's $6,642,648, with the accompanying increase in the till rate, The people who must meet the tax bill will grumble--they would not be human if they didn't--but at the same time it is difficult to see where any appreciable paring of the budget ¢ould have been done, ' The increased city expenditure ls fargely accounted for by factors over which city council has no control at all or only partial control. This year, for example, there is a substantial total ine drease in the amount of money to be paid out In salaries and wages in the various clvie departments and board of éducation, But a city cannot afford to be too parsimonious if it expects to ob= tain and keep efficient and loyal staffs, { The size of the budget and the ine ease in the tax rate, however, inspire two lines of thought, It has been more than 20 years since a general reassessment of the city was undertaken, Values have changed in that time, and another reassessment eannot be long postponed, It would ap- pear that council is thinking along these lines, for some budgetary provis- fon has been made for it, although ac- counting for only a portion of the cost of such a project, Action may be delay=- ed; a reassessment is always a ticklish proposition, But it cannot be too long delayed, It is either reassessment or a soaring mill rate, The other obvious lesson of the bud get is that more consideration should be given Mayor Gifford's recommenda tion that Oshawa adopt the council manager form of civic government. A corporation handling a business of near- ly $8 million a year needs a general manager to go with its board of direc tors and board chairman, Balance Or Stalemate Municipal elections in France are cone ducted on a party basis, although like dimilar elections in other countries, the party line is often obscured by local fssues and personalities, Even so, the two recent rounds of local elections in France indicate clearly that the political pendulum there has started back from the extreme swing to the right it took - the National Assembly elections last 1 ! The Communists have regained much f the ground they lost in the assembly lections, and so have the Socialists. he latter are more likely to co-operate ith the moderate political forces in rance than with the Communist left, put the general shift to the left can nly be interpreted as a decline in the prestige of President de Gaulle, { Senate elections are coming up in Anti-Jargon Agriculture Minister Harkness is a jon but cruel man, He has started a ampalgn to eliminate jargon from his epartment's communications, and has gun by banning the word "finalize." he crackdown on jargon is just; it will vide some relief for a belabored lan- ge. It will also force those addicted ito jargon to think about the words they 'use, and this could be cruel; it could leave them frustrated and tongue-tied. { The action by Mr, Harkness could 'even be subversive, What if its influe jence spread? How would business men communicate, for example, if they were iforbidden the use of their particular brand of jargon? They would no longer ibe able to explain to a subordinate that {due to the fact that stock market-wise {there has been a technical adjustment od inventory-wise we are in a condi- 'tion of surplus, we must be motivated iby recognition of cost factors"; they France, and in these only the mayors and municipal councillors will vote. The more leftist composition of the muniel- pal councils is certain to produce a sen- ate that is considerably more leftist than the present national assembly, Thus, through an apparent disen- chantment with his policies, de Gaulle may get a balance that he reportedly desired in the government, The presi- dent was disturbed by the overwhelms ing return of rightist deputies last fall, The municipal results may be his cue to dissolve the assembly, a move he has been considering, according to some observers, What could happen is that the oppos- ed senate and assembly will fight each other while legislation stagnates, In that case, de Gaulle will be forced to break the stalemate, one way or ano- ther, Campaign would have to mumble something about "we've got to watch costs because busi- ness is bad" Broadcasters would be hard hit and #0 would people in advertising and sales. They are forever finalizing something or other, and are just as addicted as business men to the indiscriminate use of the suffix "wise." Thus we get such curious combinations as weather-wise, baseball-wise and quota-wise; such substitutions as "motivate" for "move" or "impel," and "same relative magni- tude" for "same size." The professions have spawned jargon to such an extent that they now almost have languages of their own, which the layman must learn if he is to under- stand what is being said to and about him. And newspaper men are probably as guilty as any--although it can be said in their favor that they have twinges of conscience, 'The Things They Teach ) } 1 i \ Canadian school children are taught {a good deal about the United States, which is only natural, but very little | about Russia and less about China, even i though the lives of the children as they ; grow older will be more and more in- | fluenced by the policies of the two { Communist nations, Yet it may be bet * ter to teach nothing than innocently or | deliberately. to stuff the children with « misleading propaganda, «Judging from a recent Russian book, "Canada and Anglo-American Contra- { dictions; Russian students are being { given a curious picture of Canada.

But the workers will (in the words of the fight announc- er) emerge victorious to establish Com= munist-type Socialism in Canada, prob- ably through parliamentary rather than revolutionary methods.

(Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph) At the risk of offending a lot of good people we would suggest that the civil service is overstaffed, The review of the activities of the Government service should have made an honest appraisal of the needs, How many of the present employees could be eliminated? Is it necessary to go on hir- ing thousands of new workers each year? We regret that the commission made no attempt to answer these questions. OTTAWA REPORT Diefenbaker Tour For Fact-Finding By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- For seven weeks last year, Prime Minister John Dietenbarer toured western Eur- "Our prime minister's world tour". For Dr. Rynard, the Con- servative MP from East Simcoe, was honored by the prime minis- ter's invitation to accompany him on his tour in the dual capacity of political colleague and medical consultant, Mr, Diefenbaker set out de- termined to make his trip a fact. finding tour, sald Dr, Rynard, Knowing something of the condi tions he was likely to encounter in the under-developed but over. populated Commonwealth coun. tries of Asia, he declared his key- note bellef that "onie cannot i empty stomachs with high-sound- ing words of empty platitudes."

FOR BETTER HEALTH Kissing Baby on Lips Can Spread HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Resist the temptation to kiss Pu baby directly on the mouth. 'ou can cuddle and snuggle him all you want, but don't take the chance of passing on Vincent's disease or, as it is more common- ly known, trench mouth, A bacterial infection of the soft tissue, trench mouth can easily be passed on to infants through a kiss on the mouth from an infected person. UNAWARE Now I know that you wouldn't check {intentionally infect your child, or anyone's youngster for that matter, but you might have a case of trench mouth without be- ing aware of it. Vincent's disease got the nick- name "trench mouth" because it was so prevalent ameng our sol diers overs eas during World War I. When they returned home, they brought the infection with them. Since the germs thrive in dampness, it is no wonder that the mouth is a perfect breeding place for them. Kissing isn't the only way this infection is passes from person to person, although it is by far the most popular. AVOID FOUNTAIN GLASSES If you are the mother of a newborn baby, or even an expect. ant mother, I suggest that you avoid using drinking fountain glasses which might not have been sterilized properly.

To date there is no promise of the all-night sessions which fea- tured the Drew regime. But for straight hard, high. pressure work the session prob- ably will exceed any of recent years, EARLY ACTION The work started early when Premier Frost had committees called days ahead of the usual time. It continued when there were not only many more committee meetings than usual but the main House itself started sitting longer. Two o'clock opening, usually a practice of the final two weeks, was started early, And the premier brought in a completely new feature when he started Friday morning sittings of the main House. FAST FINISH Now, with Wednesday the 25th the target date for prorogation the whip is really being applied. There are three or four com- mittees every morning, the main House in the afternoon and even- ing sessions most nights, is no let-up except for the week-ends. NOTHING MAJOR Oddly enough, in view of the volume of work being done, there is a surprisingly small record of progress to show out of the house, Gas, of course, has taken up much of the time of the sittings. And there has been no striking advance in dealing with it , , . at least at time of writing. Aside from it there has been a great amount of 'promotional proceedings.

In some instances it's difficult to spot because good oral hygiene habits hold it in and prevent the common symptoms from becoming re- cognizable. DRY LIPS Most of the time, however, victims of trench mouth will have abnormally dry lips. At the beginning of the infection, the moist mucous membrane as- sumes & very red appearance. Later, it becomes covered with a gray mucous coat, Along about this time you' will notice a rather unpleasant odor to the breath, Unfortunately, the disease ad- vances more rapidly in babies than in adults and it can unbal- ance a youngster's general sys. tem, Sc, take it easy with the kissing, huh? QUESTION AND ANSWER W.K.: Could you tell me what would relieve neuritis? I have high blood pressure and have to urinate excessively at night, Answer: Neuritis may be due to an infection, vitamin defici- ency, general disease such as dia- betes and other causes. Its treat- ment depends upon the cause.
