he Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King 5t, E., Oshowa, Ont. Poge 6 Canada Main Spender On Roads And Streets Canada's per capita spending on roads end streets is now the highest in the world, and the same holds good for ex- penditure per registered vehicles, The current business review of the Bank of Montreal provides the statistics, Between 1900 and 1928, the number of automobiles, trucks and motorcycles in Canada increased from a few score to more than a million, By 1948 the figure was two million; a million were added in the next four years, a fourth million in the next three years and by 1958 the figure had climbed to five mil- lion, All these cars, plus the millions driven by visitors to the country, need roeds, between cities and within them, and the completion of new travelling surfaces has been given high priority by all levels of government, with 70 per emt, or 120,000 miles ~~ 40 times the breadth of Canada ~~ being added to the street and highway system in the past decade, Mileage is not the only yardstick, the review points out, Yesterday's narrow paved roads cannot compare with today's wide highways, "In a very real sense, therefore, the increase in mileage in the past ten years has provided much more driving space than the figures of mileage alone would indicate" Geography end rapid development have complicated the situation, This is a relatively thinly populsted country, but with fast-growing centres of popula tion, Links are required between the centres, while the spread of the centres themselves makes necessary the provie sion of streets within the built-up area, By and large, local governments have paid for local streets and roads ~~ the byways of the nation ~~ while the more expensive inter-urban highways have been looked after by the provinces, Federally financed construction was on a very small scale until the passing of the Trans-Canada Highway Act 1949, In comparison with provincial expendis tures, the federal spending on roads is still modest, although the Canadian gove ernment pays half the cost of Trans. Canada Highway construction--a highs way that, after ten years is now nears ing completion, with only a 90-mile gap in the Rockies to be closed, Since 1957, too, the Canadian government has had the roads-to-resources program, sharing costs with provincial governments, Travelling Rainbows A rainbow trout released in Michigan travelled some 600 miles in two years before ending up on the hook of an angler in Shelter Valley Creek, The full story of the trout's odyssey was tracked down by Department of Lands and Forests at Lindsay recently although the fish was landed more than a year ago, When J. Ainsworth of RR, 1, Graf. ton, hooked the rainbow in May, 1959, it weighed 5'% pounds and was 26% inches long, Mr, Ainsworth discovered that the trout bore a lip tag bearing the legend "Mich" and a number, A year elapsed before he passed on this infor. mation to Conservation Officer Vie Harris of Gore's Landing, The data was sent to the Michigan Conservation De« partment, and some weeks later a report on the trout's history came from the Marquette Research Station in Michigan, Apparently, the rainbow was a hats chery-reared fish which was 7.5 inches long and weighed approximately three ounces when it was tagged and released at the Ocqueoc River, Presqu'ile County, Michigan on May 20, 1957, This river is located near Rogers City about 50 miles east of the new Makinaw Bridge, Thus, it was figured that the fish was caught two years after release at a distance of about 600 miles (by water) from the point of release, Bays K, K, Irizawa, Fish and Wild. life Supervisor at the Department's Lindsay District office; "According to information we have received from Mis chigan, this is one of several rainbow trout recovered in the Lake Ontario area, all of which had been originally planted in Carp Lake River, Emmet County and the Ocqueoe River, "In the period 1955 to 1959, over 100,000 tag. ged rainbow trout have been released in Michigan tributaries of the Great Lakes, As can be seen, these fish have ranged widely from the original planting sites" According to T, M, Stauffer of the Marquette Station, migrations of more than 100 miles were relatively common and 36% of the reported recoveries were recaptured at sites other than the release point, Although it is obvious that the planted rainbow trout showed very rapid growth, Mr, Stauffer reports that only about three per cent of them were known to have been caught by anglers, One question that remains unanswers ed; Did this rainbow come through the Welland Canal or did it come over Ni. agara Fg'ls? Profits Provide Jobs It is not a new proposition, but one that deserves constant repetition, that in industry there is a relationship be. tween jobs and profits, Only when there is money to pay for growth does ems ployment increase, That case is made again in an article in Industry, the monthly bulletin of the Canadian Manu. facturers' Association, From 1955 to 1959, notes the article, the total sales of the Canadian manus facturing industry rose from $19,604 million to $23,991 million, Unfortunately, profila after taxes showed no such pros portionate increase -- from $844 mil. lion to $875 million, In relative terms, earnings actually declined == from a The Oshawa Times T.

It is no mere coincidence that these were boom years in which the percentage of the national labor force without jobs was lower than it has been in any year since, In short, good profits are the essential prerequisite of stable employment, new investment, expansion and still more jobs, Convers sely, a decline in profits is bad news for everybody." When conditions are such that an ine dustry, or a particular firm within an industry, is not operating at a profit there is public awareness that jobs are in jeopardy, Yet when profits keep up with any increase in total sales, the higher earnings are pictured as somebow evil and there are demands that the profits be whittled away, Neglected is the obvious truth that with less money industry cannot create more jobs, Bible Thought It was founded upon a rock~--Mat- thew 7:25, The best home insurance is the Word of God ------ OTTAWA REPORT r Magazines Fight For Their Lives By PATRICK NICHOLSON The most sig the current moc a suddenly a consciousness impressively ¢ 1 ceedings before the Commission on I In the opening ! f commission's publie h h : ost | held here in Oltawa, d here for ceedings assumed a | unusual for any Roy: sion, It was not a cold I tial judicial enquiry; it ] | fi ie is 1 even a debate on ( \ the United State it I i 0 take what of a discuseion of | ners { ) { i { its of saving the life of nadian magazin from economic murder much wealthier foreign cor tis e 1 eo from eirculas tor (Time), But primaril ¥ and ¢ { hich is cape ently taking its tone from y ign invaders; advocates on behalf of Time iters who lose self, it became a trinl of 1 outlets for on a charge of attempted murd ; it is felt by of Canadian literary culture ¢ r i ther workers the Canadian national Win V ) effect transs ' n eountries DUMPED FOREIGN pronpucr n editions are The situation which the | in the words Commission has been ¢ nadian pubes investigate is ill be felt in foreign magazi are by the yet unborn raiding the dian m It is unfortunate that the y has heen so heavily fl IE COST OF DUMPING direct reference to one n I cost to Canada of this is but it was perhaps ine e in ha y: 3 accurately, But view of the dominant posit ' n be judied employment, advertising ¢ ( fre ( I to just one culation 'which that m | 1 der, A spokess has been able to achieve, It 5m or Time M ine told the the more inevitable when taken | ion that last year against the background of the | { 127 in current upsurge of Canadian na from Canadian ad- tionalism luding the Federal The eriticism levelled against and its agencies, --- .

Mrs, Meagher and 1 wish, through the medium of your newspaper, to voice our A to QUEEN'S PARK Accepting Money From Government By DON O'HEARN TORONTO-There is probably lot of misunderstanding about + ease of Philip Hoffman the new member for Temiskaming was not seated right away undoubtedly some ot the impression, he had ing into the till or doing else equally repre. w nen people | been d somel hensibie This is not even remotely so, of course Mir, Hoffman just happened to hand at a time when a was badly weeded, he ¢laritication STRICT ACT The reason for holding up the Temiskaming member's formal geating was that he is a former civil servant and has a eonsider- able sum of back vacation and sick-leave pay as well as a pen. sion coming to him, The Legislative Assembly Act, which was drawn up long before the days of pensions and ems ployen benefits, is quite strict, Under it no member really can either do husiness with the gov- ernment or aeeept money from it except for its indemnities, Under a strict, interpretation even pension money to which the government contributes could be ennetrued as offending this, And this ean be bad business for a member It ean cost 'him his seat and $2,000 a day, om These days a lot of public servants, school teachers particu: larly, are running for office, There are at least three active teaches in fhe present house, There are also two who have retired--1e€o Troy, Liberal from Nipissing, and Donald Morrow, PC from Ottawa West--and who are receiving penion There will be many more in the future And both the opposition and the government felt it was better to get them out from under any possibie cloud--and having to try and sleep on the knowledge that every time they sat in the House might be running up a $200 a day bill That is why a clarification from the law officers and a res olution of the House was required before Mr, Hoffman was seated, A proposed new procedure in this same field will save a lot of time This is that when a member or minister or member must do business with the govermment-- as in an expropriation -- there must be the dispensation of the House, Now a private bill must be processed--there is one this year for Hon, W, K, Warrender and there was one last for Hon, Louis Cecile, everyone who assisted in any way to help us out of the ditfieuty that we encountered in Deceme ber of 1958, when through ne fault of our own, we were faced with the loss of our home, While the total amount required was not raised, it makes us feel £004 to know that we had enough sympathetic friends to voluntarily donate more than three thousand dollars to save the home that we have invested practically our whole lives in, We also wish to thank the Com- mitiee who stepped in and organ. ized the assistance fund, and also your newspaper who frequently commented on the progress being made, and which kept the stten- tion of the public focused on it for quite a long period, Once again -- Thanks to every one who helped us out, MR.
