She Osharon Sines' Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Wednesday, May 24, 1961 Man Must Learn More About His Environment Both the Russian and American as- tronauts commented on the beauty of the view from their space capsules. The time could come when lovely views of the planet can only be obtained from space -- particularly if great nations squander their substance on space- travel gimmicks and continue to ignore the problems of their environment on earth. There is, for example, the matter of ecology. This is the science which seeks to understand the interaction of all or- ganisms -- plants, animals and man -- with each other and their environment. How little has been accomplished in this field may be estimated by our failure to master the elementary need for pro- viding urban populations with pure water and air; by our failure to fit our spray programs for what we regard as pests into the larger context of natural inter-dependence of species; by our failure to plan the use of our funda- mental resources of soil and water. In four or five decades, what will be our so-called Golden Horseshoe? Will chil- dren now living be making their homes in a deadly expanse of brick, concrete and asphalt stretching from Lake Erie along most of the north shore of Lake Ontario and deep into hinterland? Will they be moaning about the shortsighted ness of their father and grandfathers, who in their greed forgot there are other im- portant uses for land than as a base for buildings, parking lots and super-high- ways? In the United States, there are de- mands for a national commission to study how environment should be shap- ed to meet future needs. Henry van Loon, former executive director of the Pennsylvania state planning board, points out that within 40 years, the U.S. population is expected to double to about 360 million, the seemingly in- exhaustible agricultural capacity of the US. may be severely taxed. And 70 years from now, he contends, U. S. popu- lation will be so large that "we shall be little better off than the Japanese are today -- and unless we match their skill and energy in exploiting our resour- ces, we shall be a great deal worse off." Our prospects are a little brighter -- but not much. Doctrine And Reality After his years of trimming Socialist doctrine to fit realities in Saskatchewan, we had expected something better of Premier T. C. Douglas than repetition of the shopworn dogma that all that is needed to provide prosperity for everyone is to take from the rich and give to the poor. Speaking recently in support of a New Party candidate in Toronto, he summed it up thus: "You take some income from the top and you put it in at the bottom -- give it to the two million who didn't make $2000 last year. We would have a boom again if they had enough money to buy shoes and food and clothes and the other things they need." Mr. Douglas, an intelligent and well- informed man, knows better than this, and he is doing the New Party no ser- vice 'when he talks in such fashion. Let us examine only the "take it from the top" statement and its simplest ex- planation. Presumably Mr. Douglas would use the "transfer payments" de- vice to accomplish his miracle -- money collected by taxation and then paid out for pensions, family allowances, welfare, social security schemes and so on. If the weekly income of the two million people referred to were increased by $5 -- a modest enough raise -- that would mean the government would have to find $10 million each week for this purpose, or half a billion dollars a year; a $10 in- crease would mean a federal outlay of a billion dollars a year. All this would have to be in addition to present outlays. Transfer payments in 1960 totalled $3,116,000,000. In 1959, they came to $2,758 mililon, in 1955 $1737 million and in 1950 $1030 mil- lion. In other words, they have increased steadily -- along with unemployment. There is a strong argument that the weight of taxation has been one of the biggest hindrances to the creation of new jobs -- and it is new jobs that create new prosperity. As Mr. Douglas knows, a man who is out of work wants a job, not charity. The fact is, too, that there simply isn't enough "at the top" to provide even a small portion of the money Mr. Doug- las would "put in at the bottom." Importance Of Family The importance of a good home life, under the guidance of parents who are always taking a keen interest in the activities of their children, does much towards them becoming good and law- abiding citizens throughout their young- er years as well as laying a foundation for their adulthood. In speaking to the Third Biennial Canadian Congress of Corrections, Pro- fesor I. L. Campbell of Mount Allison University, said a study has shown that delinquents who find their way into the courts for their crimes have a less desirable home and family life than those who don't fall foul of the law, and they appear to have little regard for ethics. The study was based on a comparison of family and small group experience during adolescence. It was divided be- tween criminals and non-criminals. he Oshawa Times ¥. L.

And about 4 per cent of the delinquents felt they were the victims of the lack of parental affection. When it came to ethics the reform school groups felt that Christianity does not work in practice; that to get ahead one can't consider others' feelings; that most people would steal if they had a chance. What an outlook for a teen- ager! It is a sorrowful picture and one that parents in Oshawa should ponder. Other Editor's Views WORLD OF SQUIGGLES (Letter to London Observer) I am just about to become a physics graduate, and I am continually bewil- dered at the disparity between myself and the picture which our literary scien- tists paint of me. Apparently at school, I thought of the world as " . . a col- lection of queerly acting particles . . » and " . . nothing had much validity ex- cept a profusion of squiggles on pieces of paper..." Of course I now see why the rugger ball always bounced the wrong way; it was just that I never bothered to solve the relevant equations of motion before I caught it. Bible Thought In the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. -- Daniel 2:44. Earth today does not seem to be "a kingdom of God.' But God will not rest until He establishes on earth eternal ,, peace and righteousness. READERS' VIEWS Bylaws Drafted By Ratepayers Dear Sir: The Oshawa Ratepayers' Asso- ciation, at . present under a steering committee's leadership, are to hold their final meeting to complete their draft of a constitution and bylaws, which they have been working on for the past several months. It is believed that the con- stitution will prove to be a basis for uniting the various groups of ratepayers, organ- ized and unorganized, who have their own particular problems in their respective areas. The steering committee has been meeting regularly at the CRA building on Gibbs street through the courtesy and co-op- erative understanding of its di- rector, Mr. Wendell Brewster, who 'provided the necessary facilities. It is hoped that with the com- pletion of the original rough draft, of the constitution this week; the presentation of it, to the public will take place within the next week or two. Al! ratepayers groups and rep- resentative bodies are asked to watch the local press for the date, and to be present in all their numbers, to complete the organizational plans of the steering committee. They will be asked to approve a tempo- rary executive, until a OTTAWA REPORT proper Oshawa, membership meeting can be held; where they will be able to elect their own excutive offi- cers. Thanking you for your past considerations, on our behalf, and looking forward to your continued co-operation and as- sistance. D. CHRYK, Chairman, ORA Steering Committee Oshawa THANKS Dear sir: On behalf of the Circle 8 Square Dance Club we would like to express our congratula- tions on the success of the Folk Festival held last Sunday even- ing to Mrs. Jo Aldwinckle and all who were responsible for such a large undertaking. From all those we have been talking to, they have voiced pleasure and praise for the whole evening's entertainment and we certainly feel the re- sponsible parties should be thanked most heartily. May we add our appreciation and thanks for having been ask- ed to participate in the Festival, and wishing the committee every success for any future plans they may be anticipating. J. Kelly (Mrs. R. F. Kelly), Secretary. Candidate Hurt By Knowles Book By PATRICK NICHOLSON Stanley Knowles, founder- member and foster-parent of the unborn New Party, recently pub- lished a book outlining the back- ground and aims of that politi- cal venture. Its purpose, of course, is to influence the voters of Canada. Reports reaching here from Vancouver Island, where a by- election is now taking place in Esquimalt-Saanich, suggest that Mr. Knowles' book is indeed in- fluencing the voters--but not in the manner he planned. Serious, thinking Canadians are preparing in droves to vote against the New Party candi- date. This is their immediate, ir- revocable and understandable reaction after learning that Mr. Knowles and his fellows would have the New Party reduce our defence effort very considerably. They would divert some of the spending of our tax money away from the defence of Canada to causes which, perhaps worthy in the long-term, would not rate priority until world disarma- ment has been achieved. A very considerable slash in our defence spending might be as much as one-third. This must inevitably be matched by a very considerable slash in the num- ber of jobs provided for Ca- nadians in connection with our defence effort. This could mean that 16,034 soldiers will be fired; that 6,885 sailors will line up at the national employment of- fices; and that 17,116 airmen will lose their jobs. And it could likewise mean that one in every three civil servants and casual workers now employed by the department of national defence will be unnecessary. FACTORIES MADE IDLE The chaos would not end with this addition of 57,331 govern- ment employees to the numbers of our unemployed. If the New Party were elected to form the government of Canada, it would withdraw from NORAD and seek to disband NATO. How many orders for aircraft and guns and uniforms and buildings and ships and food and vehicles and houses and medi- cines will our depleted armed services place? The lost jobs in our industries now supplying the services will probably be more than the slash of one third in the army, navy and air force. This is not a happy little pic- ture to paint against the present background of unemployment across Canada. It is an es- pecially unhappy picture to paint in a place like Esquimalt, with a big naval base there. I. is not surprising that the voters of Esquimalt are not ex- actly being wooed to the CCF- New Party because by this threat of poverty, unemploy- ment and misery which would follow their successful support of the New Party. JOY FOR OPPONENTS Reports reaching here suggest that opponents of the CCF-New Party candidate are making full use of this deadly electoral am- munition. Up till now, as this column has reported, it was be- lieved that he had a good chance of winning. Now, thanks to Mr. Knowles' propaganda on his behalf, his chance dwindles hourly. : This New Party program is called "planning for abundance" to ensure full employment. We have seen what this plan will do for anyone working for our de- fence effort. What about the professional men, the entrepreneurs, the peo- ple who put together big busi- nesses? It is here, as Mr. Knowls so truly says, that the New Party differs fundament- ally from the other parties. By restrictions, controls, limitations and progressive taxes, it will cause the biggest emigration of brains and know-how that the world has ever seen since Moses led the Israelites across the Red Sea. All workers with guts will go, all Canadian men and women with skills to sell will take them away from Mr. Knowles' Utopia. These are the stories coming to Ottawa from the present electoral battle- fronts. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM It is hoped it's a good sign that Russia is trying to contact Venus, the goddess of love, ra- ther than Mars, the god of war. Up to the time of going to press, demonstrations, ricts and hell-raising hadn't contrib- uted anything towards solving any of the world's problems. Beg pardon, but in the rat race you are running, how many laps are you behind? BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Almost 1500 Oshawa school pupils presented an excellent program at the annual school Music Festival. The OCVI Model Airplane Club held its annual banquet and pre- sentation of awards with the club's president, Lyle Pepino, as toastmaster. W. M. Alexander, vice-preside..t of the Model Air- plane League and S. B. Clever- ley, vice-president of the Toron- to Flying Club were guest speakers. Oshawa Board of Education adopted reductions in salary schedules for the teaching staff in Oshawa schools. The Oshawa Homing Society held its first pigeon race from Streetsville, a distance by air of 48 miles. Birds in the race were owned by V. Whiteley, N. Michael and Son, W. Cowle, W. Smith, B. Wales, R. Woolcott and F. Brady. The Westmount section of the Rotary Harmonica Band under the leadership of Mel Smith were successful in winning the shield at the Durham County Music Festival. Mrs. J. P. Tuttle who had resided in the city for 84 years, passed away in her 88th year. Members of the Oshawa Fire Dept. were installed and initiated as members of the In- ternational Association of Fire- fighters, making them the new- est unit of the Association which was comprised of 465 branches. Minister of Highways an- nounced that the Kingston Road would be widened between Osh- awa and Toronto, K. E. Kalfeish was appointed manager of Tamblyn's store here, succeeding George Ginn who was transferred to Kingston Whitby High School Cadets paraded before Capt. J. C. Cummins, the Board of Edu- cation, and other officials for their annual inspection. Officers in charge were, J. G. Ferguson, W. Harkness, R. Irwin Mec- Dougall and J. McQuay. Ernest E. Leavens, private secretary to Col. R. S.
