hye Osha Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Ochaws, Ope. Puge 4 Monday, November 16, 1959 Canada Upholds Rights Of NATO Small Nations Two bits of news emerged from the meeting at Camp David of U.S. and Canadian diplomatic and military authorities. Canada will get nuclear warheads from the U.S. for whatever kinds of missiles we ultimately use; and Canada obtained what appears to be rather reluctant agreement that after "the western summit meeting in Paris next month, a special meeting of NATO foreign ministers will be held to hear what went on. Some U.S. observers have jumped to the conclusion that the provision of atomic warheads means that Canada will be turning over atomic bases to - the U.S. Perhaps that is the way it will "work out, since there is an element of confusion in the arrangements. The U.S. retains control of the mechanics of the ~ warheads, but Canada will make the -.decision about their use. We are not convinced that Canada needs atomic weapons in her arsenal. The warhead arrangement means more to the United States than to Canada. It should also impress on NATO's Big Three the indispensability to their de- fence of territories outside their own borders. It is important that the Big Three understand this, and also that membership in NATO tends to equalize rather than increase the natural differ- ences of power positions between the nations in the alliance. In the NATO structure, Canada is neither a big nor a small power. We can speak from a halfway position for the principle rather than the expediency of including the smaller NATO mem- bers in the big decisions of the West. De Gaulle would dearly like to see NATO completely bossed by France, the United Kingdom and the United States, and the U.S. has shown a regret. table tendency to expect NATO to rubber-stamp any course decided upon by the U.S. Last year the late Sidney Smith took the leading role in con- vincing the NATO powers that there should be some flexibility in the ap- proach to the Berlin problem. His successor, Howard Green, has followed the same sensible course in pressing for a report to NATO on next month's meeting in Paris. In this regard, the position developed by Lester Pearson is being maintained. Now it is up to the rest of NATO to see to it that the post-Paris report is a thorough one, and not a half-contemptu- ous concession to the smaller nations. Royal Research Fund Since Parliament established the Queen Elizabeth Canadian fund for research into children's diseases last June, this imaginative project has gained momentum, the Montreal Star comment. The allotment of a million dollars from the federal treasury has increased with donations from individuals and organiza- tions. A board of trustees has "appointed and has lost no time in announcing a policy to be pursued. The policy is a sound one. The board has decided to shape its own program rather than to assist various other bodies devoted to work in the field of pediatrics for a very sound "reason. As Dr. J. F. McCreary, the chairman, notes the money at present available is' insufficient to distribute 'among existing societies. The plan then is to concentrate on the development of + men and women specialists, to which end ten fellowships and a Queen Elizabeth icientist award are to be provided each year. The simple objective of the Fund when it was launched was to encourage research into this vital sphere of medi- gine. This aim will best be achieved in the considered view of the trustees by been supporting young people in the profes- sion to that they may devote their full time to research. Again in Dr. Mec- Creary's words: "We hope that in fifteen years virtu- ally very department of pediatrics in the medicine schools will be headed by a Queen Elizabeth scientist. We would make the term Queen Elizabeth scien- tist synonymous with the top work in pediatrics on the continent." This creative scheme is going to require a good deal more money than the endowment set up last summer. The board reckons that a $3,000,000 fund would be needed to ensure the success of this great national undertaking. A country whose infant mortality rate is higher than that of many other lands, including the U.S. and Great Britain, has no choice but to see that such a program has all the means at its dis- posal to ensure its full effectiveness. It matters not whether the necessary cash comes from Parliament or from public donations, the wholly admirable plan which the Fund's trustees has devised should be accorded the widest possible backing. Colors For Hunters With the hunting season in full swing, hunters and safety experts are again debating the subject of an ideal color for clothes that will distinguish hunters from game and thus reduce the heavy annual toll of accidents in the field. For the past five years there have been about 70 hunting accidents a year in there had been 39 accidents, ten of them fatal, during this year's unfinished "season. Safety officers of the Ontario Depart- ment of Lands and Forests say that test so far have been inconclusive, but they suggest that bright reds are best for the northern part of the province where fall foliage is predominantly yellow, while yellows are favored in southern Ontario. They explain that birches and poplars in the north turn yellow, and She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manager . €.

Average Daily Net Paid Publisher's Statement as of March 31, 1959 16,260 clothes of that color blend into back- ground, while red seems to give the most luminosity in coniferous bush. In the south, however, such trees as maples and oaks provide a brilliant display of red foliage. Fluorescent blues are now available, but tests have not proved very much. Red has been favored for many years by hunters, but in dull light red can become brown or black -- difficult to distinguish amid the sumacs and ground vegetation of Southern Ontario. Some claim that white offers good protection when snow is on the ground, because no Canaidan game is entirely white, and even birch trees have not the same qualities of color tone as those attached to wool or cotton. Yellow has the best visibility to both normal-sighted and color-blind persons, but there is the problem of background. But no matter what color is worn, as safety officers point out, "it is the prime responsibility of the hunter to positively identify his target as game, regardless of the color of the clothing" Color does not impress the jittery hunter who, suddenly spotting movement in the bush, fires without investigation. It is hoped that the safety plan inaugu- rated by the lands and forests depart- ment, providing for examination in safety measures before the granting of a licence, may deter that type of trigger-happy individual. Stiff penalties also help. Bible Thoughts Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight--Mathew 3:3. Consistent Christian living prepares the way for Christ the Lord to enter other lives. MORE TO hy a AR -- MR. KHRUSHCHEV WAS SEEN WEARING A SPUTNIK "Tig -- NEWS REPORT FROM MOSCOW - IN THE WEST OUR TASTE SEEMS To RUN HEADGEAR OTTAWA REPORT Working Conditions Tops In Civil Service By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The take-home pay of a civil servant, working in a government office for the usual 37%-hour week through the usual 44-week year, averages $77.64 per week. The average industrial worker, toilint for 41 hours per week through a 48%-week year, averages $73.71 per week. Incor- porating adjustments to reflect fringe benefits and the shorter working hours, the civil service average is estimated at $98.75, compared to an adjusted average of $76.69 in industry across Can- ada. Not al] elvil servants work only a 37%-hour week; th's applies only in department offices. Not all civil servants are adequately paid; the higher grades can often earn more in irdustry in execu- tive posts. There are other spe- cial cases. But in gerera! this column is discuss'ng the 155,000 workers in administrative and executive grades, forming the office staffs of government departments. Ex- cluded are the 45,000 men and women employed by the federal government as "casuals" or "prevailing rate employees;" the 120,000 sctive members of the armed services; the 5,500 uni- formed members of the RCMP; and some 145,000 employees of crown cnporations such as TCA, the CNR, Polymer, CBC and others. WHO WORKS HARDEST? - The coadicions of work in the civil service are, generally speak- ing, less arduous than in the com- petitive world of industry. Fur- ther, the staff lacks the spur of striving fcr a collective profit to ensure job security, which is greater in the civil service than anywhere else in Canada. Anyone who visits government departments in Ottawa leaves with an indelible mental picture of the tempo of work therein. But let 'me quote a civil servant, who wrote to a newspaper urging his colleagues to be their own father-confessors, and ask them- selves certain questions bearing on the merits of their requests for a pay 'increase: 1. In an office where approxi- mately 25 civil servants work, how many are at their desks and doing some work at time? 2. If 8 of every 25 civil serv- ants were to retire and not be replaced. could the same amount of work not be put out? 3. How many of us abuse our benefits such as "sick" leave? 4. If we wish our salary scale to compare tp that of industry, should we not be willing to lower our benefits and conditions of work to the industrial standard? VERY FEW QUIT The ultimate revelation of the appeal or repuision of any job lies in the turnover. The atest annua' report by the Civil Service Commissioners points out that in 1958 "the sepa- ration race of 1Z per cent in the civil service was the lowest since 1951, and quite possibly since be- fore the war." About 7,500 re- tired or died; a like number left for voluntary reasons. But 21,000 new civil servants entered the employ of the taxpayer, thus adding 6.000 new wage packets to the taxpaver's burden. Referring to the stampede to obtain government jobs, this same repo-t says: "The response to the un'versity recruiting pro- gram wos the best it has ever been." Nine hundred university graduates wrote the examination in competition for 150 posts in our foreign service or as administra- tive or finance officers. Two out of five students graduating as civil, electrical or mechanical en- gineers competed for a mere 100 government jobs; five-sixths of them w:ll be disappointed. The employment enquiry office in Ot- tawa handled 100,000 callers dur- ing the year. Officials of the various unions or employee associations, to which tivil servants belong, have called the government, that is to say the taxpayer, a "mean" em- ployer. If this is so, it is an extraor- dinary thing that the 46,106 men and women whe were willing to work for the taxpayer in March 1939 have since seen their nume bers swollen, through continual voluntary applications, to 115,908 by VE-cay in 1945, to 137.037 by March 1952, and to a staggering any one 200,000 a year ago. FOR BETTER HEALTH Answers To Questions Concerning Epileptics HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD QUESTIONS, questions and more questions. Throughout life, an epileptic and his family have questions about what he should and shouldn't do. This begins in early childhood, when the par- ents ask the questions. I'd like to answer a few if them today. BIGGEST WORRY The parents of epileptic chil- dren worry most about whether the youngster will suffer injury during an attack. Well, as a rule he won't, un- less, of course, he falls and strikes a hard or sharp object. Ordinarilv, no special diet is required for an epileptic child. And, in most instances, play does not have to be restricted. Just to be safe, check with your own physician about whether the child should ride a bike, swim or climb. SHOULD ATTEND SCHOOL Unless an epileptic child is among the 20 per cent in which the condition cannot be controll ed, he probably should attend school. Of course his teacher should be told about his condi- tion. It would be unfair to her and the other children if she did not know. The other pupils, though, don't have to be inform- od about it. The young victim himself also. should know about his condition 80 he can better cope with it. As far as discipline is con- cerned, it is all right to punish a child but never so severely that it might precipitate a seizure. What about his chances of employment as he grows older? CAN COMPETE Well, this sometimes is a prob- lem. However, when an epileptic can keep his attacks under con- trol through medication he usual- ly can compete with most healthy persons for most positions. As in the case of the school child, the employer of an epilep- tic should be told of the condi- tion. This will aid the employee, as well as the employer, since the former can be placed in the job best suited for him. MILITARY DUTY Epilepsy does not automatical- lv rule a victim out of military * service. If the condition can be controlled, as it can in the vast majority of cases, he may usual- ly serve in non-combat duty, Life insurance policies prob- ably will present problems to epileptics. Although some com- panies accept such clients, the premiums charged are usually higher than average.

Some previdus ancestor may have had brown eyes and this recessive characteristic appears in a subsequent generation. QUEEN'S PARK Start Finally Made On Tourist Message ot 17 replies and did more than worth of business. Nick Kaneb, well-known Hotel Association leading light, gives another one. He tells of a local Cornwall hardware man who said tourist business meant nothing to him. "What about that American I sent over last week who bought a power mower?", Mr. Kaneh asked. He saw the light. SOUVENIR ACTION Hon. Bryan has also been busy putting the heat to another stew. He finally is getting some ac- tion on encouragement of On- tario-made tourist souvenirs. A first step, catalogue of sou- venirs now produced in the prov- ince is being compiled. When it is finished means will be studied to encourage more production and better distribu- tion.
