dhe Oshawa Snes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Monda v, August "29, T1960 Unskilled, Uneducated Unemployment Victims The problem of unemployment is not being talked about quite as. much in the United States as in Canada, possibly because it is not so serious, But it is still enough of a problem to be a worry, While production, personal income and over- oll employment in the United States snapped smartly back from the 1957-58 recession low, the percentage of the labor force not working has stayed near or above five per cent. An analytical look at the situation was taken by the conservative Morgan Guaranty Trust Co, of New York, which produced the following report: A striking feature of today's unem- ployment is the degree of concentration in certain groups of people and certain sectors of the economy. Most affected are young unmarried workers, the un- skilled and the poorly educated, and workers normally engaged in mining, manufacturing and construction activi- ties. The rate among people under 25, unskilled laborers and construction work- ers is in each case 10 per cent or greater, In mining and manufacturing it also is the national considerably above average, The for married men with families, Cass Angers It's doubtful if Highways Minister Cass made any friends for himself, his department or the Frost government during his recent visit to Northwestern Ontario -- and the Conservatives can- not afford much more of a deterioration of support in the North, Premier Frost himself may have to turn his very able hands to repairing the political fences, which are in a quite disreputable state now, particularly after the brusque treat- ment Mr, Cass gave complaints about the state of northern roads. Both the Sudbury Star and the Port Arthur News-Chronicle, normally friend ly to Mr, Frost and his colleagues, be- came bitter about the Cass incident, The latter paper eommented thus: "Highways Minister Fred Cass has eome and gone, He visited the Lake- head, travelled the trans-Canada high way between here and Schreiber, then flew back to Toronto. He came, he saw, he condoned jobless rate is below average workers "It seems Mr. Cass, like his fellow minister in the department of planning and development, W. M. Nickle, believes the best defence is offence, So when he met with a group of citizens in Port Arthur complaining about the delay in completing the road connecting this area with Eastern and Western Canada he gave them the "you never had it so good" treatment, "He admitted that the Frost govern. ment might have been dilatory for 14 years, but during his two years as high- ways minister the situation had improved remarkably, His department was spend. ing more money in North-western On- tario than the area deserved, And if the people weren't grateful for what was being done he would bring them to their knees by allocating less work in this region in the future, "These are strong thoughts And president coming from servant, strange thoughts from the of the Canadian Good Roads Association, "Apparently Mr, Cass has forgotten the purpose of the trans-Canada highway (which is taking longer to build with modern machinery and techniques than it took to build the trans-Canada rail.

Many middle aged and older workers need to be taught skills to replace those now obsolete, And the trainees need "some means of maintaining reasonable in- come , . » during the period between jobs." More effective assistance, least some of it from federal sources, is needed to help areas of substantial and persistent labor surplus to get out of the rut, Northwest way, with pick and shovel, three-quart- ers of a century ago). And he treats it as a provincial job rather than a joint operation, with the federal government paying half the cost. "Actually, Mr, Cass and the Ontario government have no choice but to finish the trans-Canada highway within the next two years if they are to take ad- vantage of federal grants, which have already been extended to accommodate them, If they feel no shame for having held up this great national project, they should complete it for economic reasons, "What Mr, Cass saw in North. western Ontario last weekend was a highway temporarily renovated for his benefit, With weeks of warning of his visit, contractors whipped into shape the worst sections of road and removed the awkward and surprise detours, Even #0, it was a far cry from a trans-Canada highway that the minister travelled. "But with the encouragement of his party henchmen who are blinded by political aspirations, Mr, Cass was still convinced, after his ride, that there are no grounds for complaint. Like a stub- born kid .who comes out of the wood- shed wearing a sickly grin, Mr, Cass crawled from the car and declared the highway in good shape, "The accidents, the broken wind. shields, the broken springs and head- lights, the hundreds of near-accidents speak for themselves, The road to Nipi- gon is neither a good highway nor -a safe highway, and nothing Mr, Cass can say will change the situation. His statement that travellers should drive in safe vehicles at speeds commensurate with the condition of the road implies that travel should be restricted to Sher man tanks at 10 miles per hour, It was the Ontario government, not a foreign power, that set the safe speed limit at 50 mph. "People in this area who have been waiting for 20 years for a decent road to the Manitoba border and to South. ern Ontario have a right to expect something more concrete than empty promises." at Other Editor's Views LET ALLIES KNOW (Fredericton Gleaner) If the United States is going to retain its spy-plane policy, either openly or in secret, its allies. should know about it, Not only that; if the United States is going to send aircraft so close to Soviet territory that the Russians are given an excuse for accusations, the nations of the West have every right to de- mand that flights which should be term- ed provocative be made only from US, territory.

M. Robbins--His Ways and Means", SAME THING? One of the things Mr. Grosari reportedly was doing was getting ready an extensive booklet This, it appears, will Report to the People, And it should have ring to nearly everybody province If it doesa"t a million and a half copies of a bulky blue book let were wasted in last June's election, For that was the Premier Frost's Report People--one for every the province, QUIET MAN The man tario's Report to the H. M. Robbins, Mr, Robbins is publicity di- rector of the Ontario Progressive Conservative party, Aad he is a great believer in the blanket or "'swamp-them' technique of elec- tioneering. He sees that plastered with stations are jammed he was the next he a a familiar in the pr int run on To The home in On was responsible for People lamp-posts. are placards, radio with spot announcements and all papers in the province, particularly the weeklies, are well-filled with ads, His masterpiece, which runs on the eve of the electiod, is always a full-page ad which carries the picture of every P.C. candidate in the province, The final swamp, as It were, GROSART KNOWS! Not too many people outside of the inner circle of politics know Mr. Robbins A very human man with a heart of gold he has seen a lot of life in his more than 60 years, He has been adviser and confi dante to practically all of the P.C. members who have been in the chamber in the past 20 years, Particularly the ones who have managed to stay around, But he works quietly. Those who want him find him on Rich~ mond Street, in an office as une preteatious as a country deitor's, Pan-handlers are inclined to hit this office. But the public at large doesn't know it exists And they know little more about the existence of Mr, Robbins, For his pleture doesn't get in the pa per. In fact it is doubtful if he has ever had one taken. Mr, Grosart knows him, howe ever, For he worked for him dur- Ing two campaigns And there is no question that he picked up many of the tricks of his. trade then All except this trick of personal publicity, That must have been acquired from a less-experienced hand For as all veteran politicians know the only thing that printing pictures of the 'pros', the or- ganizers and the publicists, can do is possibly scare away a few votes FOR BETTER HEALTH Epilepsy Can Present Diagnostic Problems HERMAN N, BUNDESEN, MD RECENTLY, I wrote a column telling how a bystander may help a person undergoing an epileptic seizure I passed along a few of the more common symptoms which an epileptic suffering a grand mal attack is likely to display DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE But I barely touched the sur- face on this epileptic symptom matter. Often even we doctors are hard pressed to diagnose a case of epilepsy on the basis of symptoms recalled by the patient or his family. You and I and almost every- one else, of course, can recog- nize the usual convulsion, How- ever, an uncontrollable outburst of laughter without indication of mirth, might be a symptom of epilepsy OTHER SYMPTOMS A periodic nauseating or pain ful gastric sensation followed by vomiting spells might also be a symptom Epilepsy however, isn't the only disorder which can produce such occurrences Some symptoms of epilepsy are pretty bizarre. A patient some times lowers his head, runs across the room and butts - the wall Periods of sexual excitement without any apparent reason may also be an indication of epilepsy. Some epilepsy patients have visual disturbances Sow v tranhoe inde as a seizure begins. There may be a buzzing sound, a hissing noise or perhaps the patient thinks he hears the roar of an airplane motor first signs of a whirling, twirls ing sensation, dizziness or une steadiness. Or there may be a feeling of butterflies in the stom ach, accompanied by rumblings, cramps and a sinking sensation. More common, however, are irregular, convulsive movements of any portion of the body, limbs or face, Usually such movements occur in the big toe, the angle of the mouth or the thumb or index fingers, EXPERIENCE HALLUCINATIONS In some instances, the epilep tie will have hallucinations of feeling: warm or cold. Or he may imagine that pins and needles are sti him or that he feels a ting Ing sensation or a numbness Every one of these symptoms may indicate a case of epilepsy Or it may not : You can see what a difficult time we sometimes have in come ing up with the right answer, QUESTION AND ANSWER J. Lo M:: T am awakened from a deep sleep very often by a loud popping sound in my ear. Could this be anything serious? Answer: This is probably due to a sudden opening of the eustachian tube and can be core 1 hv tenant ' Sometimes the an attack are matter, This is, ile frankly, that our MPs with few exceptions habitually ignore the rules, while Speaker Michener has proved himself unable. or unwilling to perform his role in enforcing them, One great new waste of MPs' time which has arisen under Speaker Michener is the unwar- ranted prolongation of the daily question period, This stems from him permitting the asking of trivial questions, such as his im- mediate predecessors properly disallowed, The prime minister has estimated that this one fac: tor added nearly four weeks to this past session -- an estimate closely coinciding with one ex- pressed in the column several weeks ago, OUR READING WINDBAGS Too many of our MPs refuse to train themselves to "make a speech"; they lazily read a pre- pared statement instead, care. fully calculated fo fill the per- mitted 40 minutes, It would have been simple for Speaker Mie hener to enforce the rule inst "read- ing" SUCCESS speeches, and this would re- inating any worthwhile contribu. * tions. But instead, one and all WISDOM ' failed to mention this lected rule, and instead they proposed the imposition of a 30-minute time limit per speaker. wl "No cure has been found for a strange affliction in New Guinea that causes natives to laugh Ives to death" -- Press The most val tion to improve parliamentary pro- cedure came from a young B.C, lawyer, John Drysdale He dredged up a favorite old idea of the prime minister's: throw out the desks, instal benches, and hence reduce the needed floor area of the chamber and create the intimate atmosphere essential to a fast-moving debate, It is usual to refer to our par- liamentary proceedings in such false cliches as "the cut and thrust of debate". As any visitor may observe, the Commons re- sembles a college classroom being lectured by an untalented exponent of an unpopular sub ject, There is seldom a true de- bate with the atmosphere of men- tal duelling; there is no "cut" and precious little "thrust"; but there is often the atmosphere of messrdom bickering, with occas inal passing of the sugar, and some childish squirts of juice from arid lemons, Drysdale's sug- gestion would go far to correct this, SPORTS COMMENTATORS Sportscasters Steve Douglas and Fred Sgambati will describe play-by-play action in Big Four foothall games this season on CBC television report, Perhaps this affliction could be cured by having the vietim watch and listen to a tele vision comedian, Even with a pocketful of credit cards, a person still needs to carry a little loose change on him with which to feed parking meters, TT ie Does Why don't surgeons learn how that they could rid people of paing that exist only in the imagination?
