The Oshonon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King st. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 4 Thursday, October 22, 1959 Information Required On Effect Of Fallout Health Minister J. Waldo Monteith gave a reassuring address on radioac~ tivity and fallout to the Oshawa Kiwa- nis club this week. His three main con~ clusions were: There is no cause either for panic or complacency about fallout; the, federal government has taken steps to ensure that Canadians do not unknowingly drift into danger; the government will keep the people of Canada fully inform- ed, Mr. Monteith also provided some re- assuring statistics. He noted, for in- stance, that "it would be permissible for an average person to drink milk containing strontium-90 at the maxi- mum permissible concentration through= out his whole life, without the likeli hood of harmful effects." The maxi- mum 'permissible concentration is rate ed between 67 and 98, the figurgs rep= resenting a certain method of measure- ment; the Canadian strontium-90 mea- surement for January-June 1959 was ' 14.7. Individual localities, of course, showed readings above or below that figure. It was evident throughout the speech, however, that foo little is known about fallout and its effects for any firm con- clusions to be reached. Mr. Monteith admits this: "There are still many un- knowns regarding the fundamental mechanisms involved . . . Whether or not an adverse effect on the human body might result depends on a num- ber of factors , . . In our present state of knowledge, valid predictions are ex- tremely difficult to make. Any fore casts may well turn out to be quite in accurate in the long run , . . I might point out that the concept of maximum permissible concentration has been lik- ened to a speed /limit on the highway, There is no guarantee that if you ale ways stay within this limit you may not have an oceasional accident. The point is that the maximum permissible concentration should not be considered as a firm line dividing saféty from dan- ger. Rather it is a general guide as to the maximum level which can be tol- erated by practically everyone without ill effect." In view of the uncertainties, suspen= sion of nuclear tests until better cone trols are devised and more knowledge obtained is the only logical policy. This is substantially the Canadian govern- ment's policy, which supports the halt- ing of tests with the proviso that a sat- isfactory system for "verifying compli- ance" with the obligation to stop teste ing be agreed on and established. A permanent ban on nuclear tests may not be necessary. One can visualize nuclear explosions being put to many peaceful uses. But we can wait until we have a clearer idea of what we are doing to ourselves, and more important our children, by unleashing this form of energy. In the meantime, waiting will be no hardship. We have other forms of energy at our disposal. Good Building Prospect The building industry will enter the 1960's with certain advantages it lack- ed in 1948, including improved housing legislation, better planning of develop- ments, increased skills and the benefits gained from the experience of the most productive 15 years in its history. That is the conclusion reached in a review of building in the current commercial let- ter of the Canadian Bank of Commerce. There are signs of changing trends in Canadian housing from the pattern of earlier postwar years, the letter notes. Apartments and other tenant-occupied dwellings have taken up an increasing proportion of new housing construction in recent years, and a stage of rent re- duction has now been reached in cer= tain areas, Apartment building is on the increase in the nearer suburbs of some cities, where high land prices have tended to discourage the building of private dwellings. The co-operative apartment house, owned jointly. by the tenants, is a relatively new feature which appears to be gaining in popu- larity. " Contemporary taste and rising living standards are reflected in the decline in one and two-storey dwellings, and the gradual rise in floor space. At the same time, the trend away from larger urban Outlook For Hunters may have more success this season in the western deer ranges than in the eastern. Surveys to assess the ef- fect of the severe 1958-59 winter on the province's deer, carried out last spring, have led the lands and forests department to conclude that the eastern deer herd suffered a setback and hunt- ing would probably not be so good this fall as in previous years. The setback, however, was not sufficient to wararnt restrictions on the kill. In the western range, biologists reported, "There is every reason to believe that deer popu- lations will be normal this fall." The department reports that the last winter was normal to mild in the area occupied by the western herd, but ex- ceptionally deep snow accumulated throughout most of the eastern range. By mid-February it was clear from the snow-measuring station records that the deer herd was being subjected to un- usually severe conditions. The biolo~ gists do not seem to be much alarmed by the setback, their conclusions being: The Oshavon Times ¥. L. WILSON, Publisher and Generel C. GWYN KINSEY.

Average Daily Net Paid Publisher's Statement as of March 31, 1959 16,260 centres to new suburban developments, with fewer houses per acre, pose grave problems in regard to financing of roads, sewers and other services in many municipalities, Between 1946 and 1958, more than 1.25 million new residential units were completed, and older structures were converted into some 56,000 duplexes and apartments. The current year's pro- gram may see the completion of anoth- er 150,000 structures, bringing the post- 1945 figures to nearly 1}2 million new units. During the past ten years, the aver- age cost of a one-storey dwelling fine anced under the National Housing Act has risen from $7379 to $14,263. The size of the average house in this cate- gory has increased from 877 square feet of floor space to 1094 square feet and building costs per square foot have gone up from $7.62 to $10.56. The ris ing cost of land--$570 for the average single-storey house in 1948 to $2463 in 1958-- is the third large factor in the' increased cost of housing, the letter notes. Little slackening of building is seen. Family formation, coupled with the sustained rise in personal income, will give underlying strentgh to the hous- ing construction industry. Hunters "This kind of think has happened re- peatedly before and the herd has ale ways made a rapid recovery. Hunting will 'probably not be as good this fall . . . There is likely to be a shortage of fawns and yearlings, Snow cover per- sisting through the first week of the hunt could produce normal hunters' success in some areas. The setback suf- fered by the herd is not sufficient to warrant restrictions on the kill." What the biologists call "huntable densities" of deer occur west of Lake Superior in western Sioux Lookout, Kenora and Fort Frances districts and in _art of southern Port Arthur district. East of Lake Superior huntable densi- ties do not occur north of the southern halves of Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury districts and the Temagami area. Cli- matic patterns are responsible for this distribution. North of fhose areas of relatively high deer densities, severe winters bringing deep snow occur too regularly to permit extensive survival of deer unless the quality and quantity of winter food for the deer is except- jonally good. Within the areas winter food and weather also interact but sure vival is normally good enough to maine tain enough deer to make hunting worthwhile. Providing deer with hay during a hard winter, incidentally, does not do much good. The deer will eat the hay but they cannot extract from it the food values they need. Cedar branches are much more useful to them. Bible Thoughts Call unto, me anc .I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.--Jeremiah 33:3. We have at our disposal all the forces of the universe.

OTTAWA REPORT U.S. Lays Claim To Invention By DAVE McINTOSH Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)--Really, Uncle Sam, this is too much. For the second time in ada's Defence Research Board. First it was a new communica- tions system employing lonized alls of meteors for transmission o messages at high speeds over long distance--a develop- ment Canada reported in 1956 and the U.S. last Sept. 28. Now it's "instant" bread. A Washington dispatch 10 days ago said the U.S. National Re. search Council and Army Quar- termaster Corps have developed an "instant bread mix" designed to make fresh bread easily ayail- able to troops in the field. It said the time for making bread has been reduced by about three- fourths by this "new formula." On Nov. 3, 1954, the Defence Research Board made this an- nouncement in Ottawa. "Food technologist Joseph H. Hulse and baker Joseph Gal braith of the food research group of the Defence Research Medical Laboratories, Downsview, Ont, crealed a prepared mix which, combined with water and baked in an oven, produces high quality bread in just under two hours, cutting - about four hours from mother's age-old method."

It is not a large garden by Canadian standards, but it is quite ample from the English viewpoint, and it has given me a long summer of great pleasure. What has me most has been the long season of uninterrupted bloom from varie- ties which usually have but a short life in Canada. How prolific the roses are over here. Last December, I planted out a bed of roses, .December 15 was the planting date for the bushes, a date which must seem incredible to Canadian gardeners. But how well they have done, They began blooming before the middle of June and they have been blooming continuously ever since. Now in mid-October, the bushes are covered with bloom, and there are dozens of buds com- ing along to continue this for some time to come. The flowers coming now 'are just as beautiful as those which came in the first flush of summer. SAME VARIETIES Varieties are much the same here as those which are popular in Canada. In my bed are Crim- son Glory, Peace, Queen Eliza beth, Karl Herbst, Sutter's, Gold, Grandmere Jenny, Mojave, Charles Gregory, Tzigane and Virgo. Every one of them has d a steady i or mation useful to the military. pr glorious blooms. Civil Service Pay Matter Of Contention By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- You are a most generous employer; and I mean you the taxpayers of Canada. Not Just ""a most generous emplover'" but perhaps "the most generous' in all Canada. For w o also gives his employ- ees the guaranteed annual wage, the job security, the full quota of holidays with pay, plus cumula- tive paid sick leave entitlement, and then a good pension at the end of it all, on the generous scale which you the taxpayers give to your employees in the civil service? Does your employer give you as much, and still ride herd as lightly as you do? Yet a battle for the civil ser- vants' pav increase is now being waged here by the officials of the various civil service unions. You are going to be criticized as a mean employer, In paid news- paper and radio and television ad- vertisements inserted by those unions. To paraphrase a tribute paid to the victors in another battle, the Battle of Britain, it might be said here today that *"Never have so many been paid so much for so little." YOU BE THE JUDGF The facts are very simple. In the 10 years ended October, 1957, the federal civil service received no less than seven increases in the scale of payment for each job, the latest being authorized by the Di er government. Now these words should be read carefully; I wrote "in the scale o' payment for each job" That scale itself contains a built-in and virtually automatic raise, aver- aging $150 each year, up to a total of about 10 per cent of the basic wage for the job. In addition, a civil servant with abilitv and am- bition can gain promotion to a better-paid job, through that old- fashioned but still admirable sys- tem of rewarding merit. Those seven bonanza increases could only be justified on the grounds that they were intended to compensate for depreciation in the purchasing power of the dol- lar, They totalled approximately 70 per cent of the initial pay; in the same period, the cost of living rose by half that figure, or 36 per cent to be exact. In 1947, you the taxpayers em- ployed 115,471 civil servants, at an average 'wage of $34.69 per week. Ten years later, you em- ployed 147,777 drawing an aver- age wage of $74.03 from the cen- tral pay office; two months ago, that average wage had risen to $77.64. That represents a wage increase of 125 per cent as well as a staff increase of 28 per cent. We will pass over the question as to whether the staff increase was really necessary. WE WANT HAPPY. SERVANTS All Canadians would agree that we want to remunerate our civil servants handsomely. These fig- ures, I believe, show that they are very well treated by you, their employer, in comparison to the pay, fringe benefits and work- ing conditions of any other job in Canada. If this were not so, civil servants would quit and take bet- ter paid jobs. Yet so attractive is our civil service that it has lured over 30,000 additional workers' to it gold-paved offices in recent years. To have met the civil service demands for a wage increase now would have cost $242,000,000, equivalent to an increase of 15 per cent in the income tax, or a bill of $56.94 for the average Canadian family. This demand was rejected, because the govern- ment, in setting its face against inflation, has asked emplovers and employees to hold the line against increases in prices and wages. It is morally bound to give force to this plea by observing it itself, and rejecting the civil ser- vants' request. In taking this stand, which like so many worthy acts by this gov- ernment has been insufficiently explained and inadequately pub- BY-GONE DAYS FOR BETTER HEALTH 36 YEARS AGO : Plans were being made for the "Golden Jubilee" celebration of the Ontario Whitby. Delegates from many towns in the Presbytery attended the Young People's Conference held in St, Andrew's Church, Whitby. Rev. C. A. Myers, secretary of Sunday schools, addressed the gathering. New St. George's Anglican Church tower on Centre St., was being erected to its full height of 90 feet and the church was to be ready for the official opening within two months, Bell Telephone staff at Port Perry presented John Lowry with a presentation prior to his transfer to Oshawa. F. W. Cowan presided at the Golf Club closing functions when presentation of prizes and tro- phies were presented to the win- ners. In view of the purchase of a new hose and chemical fire truck, W. C. Smith, town engi. neer, and Fire Chief A. Camer- on inspected some equipment in Toronto. The addition to the General Motors plant on Division St. was used to assemble Oldsmobile, Oakland and Cadillac cars, Brooklin Rural School Fair was attended by 1500 persons. John Dryden, president of the School Fair Association won first prize in the public speak- ing contest with his address on "Loose Smut of Oats."

Rutherford of the tech- aT nical branch of the Dept. of Ed i Toronto, declared licized, the Diefenbak govern- ment is defending your dollar. If the line is held against further inflation, as it should be, we will all benefit, including the civil ser- vice. QUEEN'S PARK Civil Servant Pay Stirs General Row By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The "do you beat your wife?" technique has entered the civil service controversy. The Toronto branch of the Civil Servants Association of Ontario has distributed a questionnaire. Among its questions is: "Do you feel the morale of the civil servants you work with is «..high?,.. fair? .,.low?" Then . . . "If morale is low, is this because of dissatisfaction with . . . pay rates? . . . working conditions? . . . lack of advance- ment?" Question for the Branch: "Do you want to . . . brow-beat? , . . bully? . . . blackmail?" MANY COMPLAIN For the record, morale of pro- vincial civil servants is low. The turn-down of federal em- ployees by Ottawa hasn't helped. On many sides you hear stories of men who have quit for other jobs at higher pay. This is only part of a general grousing. The government unquestionghly is concerned. But also it would not be too worried at resignations. It is widely felt that the ser- vice at present is over-loaded and carrying a lot of deadwood. The trouble is, however, that it is seldom the deadwood which quits. LEGION TROUBLE The army continues with liquor bottles at the ready. Officers are still attacking the government because it put a tax on messes. And the ranks are firmly be- hind because it did the same thing to Legion, and veterans #* clubs. Still no tears are being shed here. Particularly for the Legions. There has been an eye on them for some time. They have paid only a $25 a year licence fee. Many of them have rin prac- tically as open beverage rooms. There have long been com- plaints of unfair competition by legitimate licencees. The government has wanted to crack down. But this would have been dan- gerous in a pre-election time. Veterans can be too noisy. Once the election was over it didn't wait long to act. LEAKY BOAT? Incidentally, Premier Frost told newspaper men that people criti- cizing Ontario's liquor laws should "look around.' There are worse systems in other jurisdictions, he said. (Yes, he admitted Ontario's laws are not perfect.) - There continues to 'be a block between the premier and a re- porter, however. This is due to failure to understand why be- cause our neighbor's boat. leaks worse we shouldnt fix our own. that Oshawa as an Industrial growing centre, required a school for technical education.

BUNDESEN, M.D. I GUESS every parent, at one time or another, has difficulties trying to make his youngsters behave, My mother did and I'm sure yours did, too. I've written extensively on the subject over the years -- per- haps some of you recall some of the advice I've offered. EXPERT'S ADVICE In making certain suggestions on how to raise children, I have called upon years of experience as a physician, a father, and a grandfather. Now I'd like to add a bit of advice from an expert in another field of medicine, a psychiatrist, Dr. Harry M. Segenreich of the professorial faculty in psy- chiatry of the University' of Illin- ois has what I believe are some very good views on the subject of raising children and making them behave. RESULTS IN MISBEHAVIOR The modern parental ration alization that "I do not want my child to be inhibited," might easily lead to over - permissive ness by the parent, according to Dr. Segenreich. This, he says, might encourage the child to re- ject or ignore authority and re- sult in social maladjustment and misbehavior. Children, he explains, bring little pre - determined behavior into this world. And a child best learns the social role of behavior by imitation and iden- tification within the atmosphere of love and security of the fam- ily, the church and schools. Too many parents, Dr, Segen- reich says, are concerned with the behavior itself and fail to de- termine the underlying causes. Some of these causes he says, e: DISOBEDIENCE -- Usually stems from lack of firmness or consistency by parents. The par- ent often identifies the child with his own childhood, then treats him as he would like to have been treated, even though this may be improper. STEALING - Often results from a need for attention and interest, an effort to obtain grati- fication for oneself, This act demands parental dis- pleasure and firm insistence that it will not be tolerated. RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME -- Often this is a case of the child testing the parents. RESTS WITH RUSSIA Arctic Plan For Exc By KEN KELLY Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)--The Russians have been given a public prod to get a move on with a long-stand- ing proposal to exchange Arctic experts and information with Canada. The proposal was made verb- ally more than a year ago when Canadian Embassy officials in Moscow were instructed by the Canadian government to suggest the exchange to the Russians. Although the Russians indi- cated that they were interested in the idea, the matter rested there. The latest development was a speech last week by Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker at Saskatoon He said he expects a "positive response" from the Russian gov- ernment in view of the state ments in Washington by Premier Khrushchev that he favors inter- national co-operation in northern development, TIME SEEMED RIPE This statement together with hange the thawing of the cold war ap- parently led Mr. Diefenbaker to believe the time is ripe for a re- minder to the Russians of the Canadian proposals. Canada actually has more to gain from such a plan than Rus- sia which is said by northern ex- perts here to be years ahead of this country in northern develop- ment and knowledge of the spe- cial problems that arise from that development. However, this country may have developed techniques in Arctic construction on perma frost arising from work at Ak- lavik and the building of the new Arctic town of Inuvik .that could be exchanged for similar expe- riences of the Russians who have a large number of towns and cities inside the Arctic Circle. The sort of problems that Can. ada would like information on are Arctic clothing, long-distance hy- dro transmission, transportation and keeping 'northern harbors open for longer periods of the year, Of Child's Misconduct The child feels rejected or un- wanted. Parents should make the child aware that he really is wanted. SCHOOL PHOBIAS -- Usually caused by anxieties in a child. These are only aggravated by hostile attitudes of the parents. It is best to be patient, assist the child to return to school and to monitor his attendance. QUESTION AND ANSWER . Mrs. E.
