The shorn Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Tuesdoy, April 25, 1961 Job Problem Worsened = oF Not Caused By Slump It is a tragic paradox that with all of our unemployment, Canada still suffers a shortage of skilled manpower. That is one of the most significant facts emphasized in the hearings of the Senate committee on manpower. And the fault starts with ourselves, with the lack of schooling and training among young men and young women entering the labor force. The committee's investigation, now almost complete, has stressed the fact that present problems were only aggra- vated and not caused by the economic recession. We have been building up to unemployment for a long time. In the three years between mid-1957 and mid- 1960 the economy was able to provide only 220,000 new jobs. But if there is to be employment for all of the new workers who will enter the labour force in the five-year, 1961-1965 period, sub- missions to the committee estimated that the economy will have to create an average of 200,000 new jobs a year, a total of 1,000,000 new jobs. As a means of stimulating the eco- nomy, briefs to the committee from both the Canadian Labor Congress and the Canadian Manufacturers' Association People Helping People The work of the Canadian Red Cross Society has been described as "people helping people without concern for race, creed or color" The truth of this is geen from year to year as the Oshawa Branch extends a hand of mercy, under- standing and hope. Through the efforts of the Blood Donor Service Com- mittee, hundreds of Oshawa cities have been provided with free blood transfu- sions at The Oshawa General Hospital. The committee has earned the reputa- tion of having the best organized blood donor service in the province. The Oshawa Branch has made con- siderable progress in reuniting persons living behind the Iron Curtain with their families in Oshawa. Several families were reunited during the past year, a man and wife after 32 years of separat- ion. After many attempts were made to bring the wife to Canada, the Oshawa Branch was approached for assistance and within 17 months the couple were together again. Many families are assisted every day by the Homemaker Service. When mother is ill, some person must take care of the family. The Red Cross Homemaker is that person. She goes into the home, takes full charge of the Part Of Long Struggle The front pages of newspapers re- cently have been dark with news of wars, revolutions, massacres and disast- ers. Even the most confirmed optimist could be excused for doubting at times if this is the best of all possible worlds. But a sound bit of advice comes from the New York Times, which comments thus: It is always useful in a "time of trou- bles" like this to step back and look around. The temptation, when the Congo ° erupts, when rioters storm Belgian em- bassies, when students in Asia stone USIA. offices, when a young man in The Osharoa Times "© GWYN KINSEY.

The CMA suggested major reductions in personal and cor- poration taxes as a method of achiev. gested pump-priming with massive public spending. The CLC also argued that trade unions should continue to press for higher wages on the theory that higher labor income would provide an increasing demand for consumer goods. Tax cuts seem the more logical of these suggestions. Public works gen- erally provide little employment, and that only of a temporary nature. Wage increases my give part of the public more money to spend, but they tend to jncrease prices, and if there is anything we do not need now it is a general hike in prices. What we need is more people at work. Tax cuts give all consumers a little more money to spend, do not increase prices, and give industry some incentive to finance job-creating ex- pansion. The public hearings of the senate committee have brought out a mass REPORT FROM U.K. of important facts and opinions. Its report will be awaited with interest. Estates' Walls By M.

Many of them have spoken to me about this, and have felt that it was a great pity that the traditional desire for privacy in this country had kept these walls standing for years, in some cases for centuries. A movement has been started, however, to have these walls demolished in order that the public may see and admire the beauty that lies behind them. The lead in this movement has been given by no less a person than Her Majesty the Queen. And the first to fall is a stretch from the open gardens which free of charge.

It is doubtful if anything but a good scare would have forced us into recognizing this. HOME MANUFACTURE Again, we now realize that we must radically reorganize in business and manufacturing. And particularly that we must do more home manufacture. We have had dedicated people such as Alec Crate, the former head of trade and industry here preaching this for years. But they had little success in getting their message across in a prosperous and fat economy. They couldn't even get the gov- ernment support they merited.

The other day, a party of 10 stu- dents started knocking down this section of wall, 100 feet long and from six to eight feet in height. CENTURY-OLD This wall is over 100 years old. It was built by order of the Prince Consort early in the reign of Queen Victoria in order to ensure privacy. The Queen has given permission to have it entirely removed in order to open up more of the grounds of Windsor Castle to the public view. When the work is completed, there will be a wide lawn from the sidewalk to the inner wall of the caste But by its re- moval, the hundreds of thou- sands of tourists who pack Wind- sor each summer will have an entirely new view of the castle and 'its gardens. FACE-LIFT This operation is ope of the major features of a compre- hensive face-lift being perform- ed on the town of Windsor. The work is being carried out under the supervision, of the Civie Trust and the Windsor corpora- tion. The Queen has taken a very keen interest in the scheme to give new beauty to Windsor-- officially called "The Windsor Project." Of her own volition, she suggested the opening of the grounds adjoining Castle Hill and Thames street. The work of demolishing this wall was 'started in ceremonial fashion. Duncan Sandys who is president of the Civic Trust, was on hand with a sledge hammer to knock out the first stone. The 10 students who will do the real work are making it a labor of love. They all volun- teered for the job, and thus are saving the trust and the corpor- ation the cost of demolition. This is actually not the first of these high walls to be demol- ished to open up grounds to the public. In several large estates in Hertfordshire, other property" owners have decided that these walls are out-dated, and they are coming down. It is a move which will be welcomed by the public and particul, by the visitors who Sond to Britain from across the Atlantic. have made proposals which are. quite revolutionary to accus- monially driven, at Craigalla- chie in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, in 1885.

PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM INSIDE YOU - Calcium Clothes Hang On Protein By BURTON H. FERN, MD What's osteomalacia? Osteo- porosis? What's the treatment? Milk? Calcium? Vitamin D? Bones resemble closets where calcium clothes hang on special protein hangers. The closet con- tinually empties to make room for new calcium according to your needs. Osteomalacia: Because of cal- cium shortage, no new calcium clothes are hung. Osteoporosis: Because protein hangers disappear, new calcium clothes can't be hung. Osteomalacia: Few diets lack enough calcium. Calcium or vitamin D may not be absorbed into your system from the intes- tine. (Like a magnate, vitamin D draws calcium in through the intestinal wall.) Extra calcium may be needed -- to build Baby's skeleton in Mom's womb. LACKS PROTEIN Osteoporosis: Diet may lack enough protein. Overactive thy- roid glands and uncontrolled di- abetes can cause internal pro- tein shortages. Without male and female chemicals after change of life, protein hanger production slows down. Protein hangers disappear in bedridden patients and oldsters who just sit around, putting little strain on their bones. (Healthy volun teers, sealed in body caste showed that normal bones with- out stress lose their protein hangers.) ' b ed Osteomalacia: Bones ache and pain. The same bones on either side of the body break part way. Osteoporosis: Spine and pel- vic bones ache and pain. You shrink as spinal bones collapse. Osteomalacia: Treat with milk, calcium and vitamin D. Correct intestinal trouble, so that calcium and vitamin D can be absorbed. Osteoporosis: Eat more pro- tein and keep the bones workin, --short walks and old-fashion rocking chairs work fine. Your doctor can treat any gland trouble. CHARACTERISTIC COMPLICATIONS Osteomalacia: Complications include muscle twitches and con- vulsions (tetany) if the blood lacks enough calcium. Osteoporosis: Complications include calcium kidney stones when protein hanger shortages force extra calcium into the blood and through the kidneys. Milk, calcium and vitamin D also build kidney stones, unless empty new hangers are waiting. Then, calcium and vitamin D are needed, so that healing bones. won't have to drain too much calcium from the circula- tion -- tetany. Anyone who grabs blindly for only calcium and vitamin D to harden all soft bones is either misinformed or "soft head!! "Scientists say we are what we eat." Maybe so.

There is enough U.S. capital here now in the opinion of 53 per cent of the nation. These people believe that Canadians should have more control of their own industry since, as a Westerner said, "The U.S. wants to run us too much." An Ottawa accountant put it this way: "Canada needs to take a stand on its own capital and have confidence in its ability to support itself." "We have too much outside help now" is an- cost of living. "They have more money than we have, and seem willing to invest it." "We need the money and they have it" are comments heard in many parts puts it this way: "Because our people put their money in their socks".

Qu "The U.S. should not be too heavy an investor in Canada -- we should try and increase in- vestments from the Common- wealth." On the other hand, while about five think this way, op- posing points of view are held by about three in ten. Across the nation 32 per cent of the ple believe that Canada needs the capital to develop our natural resources. Typifying attitudes of many Canadians are comments such as: "The U.S. has the money to spend, and they might as well spend it here to develop Canada." Citizens believe that further U.S. capital would increase em- ployment, and bring down the opinion is almost even, with a high proportion who are un- decided on the matter.
