EZ The Oshawa Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. 'Page é Tuesday, July 4, 1961 More Trash Scattered 'Around Country Yearly Each year the situation gets a little worse. There are more people scattering "fore litter and trash about and there is more trash to be scattered as food and other articles appear with more and more elaborate wrappings. Most of us don't realize what an enormous enterprise it is just to dispose of the wrappings used for so many purposes today. There are garbage col- Jections in the cities and most other tommunities, but when people get out in the open they seem to believe they have the right to throw anything down almost anywhere. As a matter of fact such is far from - "being the case. In theory depositing -trash in public places is an offence, but .it is one that is fairly easy to get away with. People throw trash from car 'Lazy-Lipped Canadians, says an English speech- * training expert, lazy lipped. By . that Greta Douglas, who is an examiner at the Trinity College of Music in Lon- are don, infers that we do not move our lips enough when we speak, and we do not move our jaws enough, either. We refuse to rise up in righteous in- dignation. Perhaps many of our fellow Canadians may take this as an un- forgivable affront, for after all, it is not pleasant when a guest in our midst comes out with an insult. Admittedly, speech in Canada differs from what Miss Douglas would encounter in Lon- don, even though the language may be substantially the same. Give Further By giving new powers to the Industrial Development Bank with the expectation that will fill an existing gap in Canada's financial structure, the Federal Govern- ment hopes to increase production among our industries. The bank was established 17 years ago and its helpfulness has been shown by its record to date -- approval of more than 5,000 loans to newly estab- lished firms for a total of more than 300 million dollars. Financial resources of the bank are now to be increased to 400 million dollars from the existing limit of 160 million dollars and restrictions as to the kind of industry that can be assisted will be removed. Any business enterprise seeking funds capital expan- + aion will become eligible if the recognis- ~ '2d safeguards for such type of loan can for windows. In the country they sometimes dump rubbish along country roads. There should be definite clamping down on this careless habit. It didn't matter in the old days when there were only a few people and few of them travelled about except from necessity. Now roadsides are dotted with old wrapping, bottles and cans. The same thing applies to many public spots. There is too much tend- ency to ignore the garbage receptacles, which are usually present and quite conspicuous. Scattering of litter is not tolerated in Europe, even in remote districts. People who do such things are severely criticized if not actually brought into court and fined. Some- thing of the same sort will have to be the rule here or in time we shall be drifted under mounds of trash. Canadians However, we are going to agree with Miss Douglas in her criticism. The lazy- lipped Canadians, because they do not move their lips and jaws sufficiently when speaking, produce an unpleasant, flat and indistinct drawl. We are going to agree with her, because we have met many Canadians with voices just as she describes. But we cannot agree that these are necessarily lazy-lipped. Indeed, from our observation, the people with the unpleasant, flat and indistinct voices are anything but lazy-lipped. In any group, it always people with strident tones who over- work their jaws in conversation. We wish they would be lazy-lipped and give their voices a rest. Ai id be met. It is also stated that the Indus- trial Development Bank will be able to do increased business in underwriting new firms and buying their securities. The new legislation should prove to be a considerable advantage to firms in many locations whose growth is handi- capped through lack of available capital. It is to be hoped that suitable enter- prises will take advantage of the oppor- tunity. Businessmen in metropolitan centres are often quicker in reaping the benefits of such legislation with the result that large communities become larger, while smaller: municipalities show a slower rate of growth. A wide distribution of industrial activity would no doubt be good for Ontario as a whole. Increased facilities of the Industrial Development Bank could help in bringing this about. is these : 'Advantage Of Peace Before the Second World War some « ~people talked a great deal about taking «wihe glamour out ol vas when Hitler was engaged in mesmeriz- .ing Europe with his goose-stepping "troops and lavish parade of power.

Today wars, when and if the come about, are fairly recognizable thrusts for power on the part of nations, pos- sibly sometimes on the part of indivi- duals. In a sense there is now a struggle between war and peace going on. War might be represented as the aspirations of people and nations wishing to achieve power and get it at any cost, while peace represents the hope of masses of people live out their lives in relative tranquility. to Neither side of the balance is clear- ly weighing odwn the other. The hopes of the world against th ambition of a few makes a more equal competition than it should. Perhaps what we need is some way to show that peace has its satitsfactions and fulfillment far more abundantly than war. A prolonged period of peace should make it possible for the world to re- organize food distribution, and thus re- lieve the shame of undernourishment that smothers a large portion of the people. There is no definite limit to the scientific advances that are possible if the attention given to armaments viere diverted to more valuable uses. One of the chief hazards to peace is the inability o fthe greater number of people in the world to appreciate its true possibilities. We have not yet had the full advantages of peace set forth for all the world to see. Yet the funda: mental strength of those really searching for peace to choose, they would choose in favor of a peaceful future WARM WATER SWIMMING PRESCRIBED FOR KENNEDY = NGWSPAPGR HEADLINE MAKING IT HOT FOR HIM OTTAWA REPORT Fleming Was Quiet On Publications By PATRICE NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Why did Finance Minister Donald Fleming make no reference in his budget to the report of the royal commis- sion 'on publications, while he implemented in part the recom- mendations made later by the royal commission on automo- biles, by repealing the 714 per cent excise tax on cars? That intriguing mystery is leading to widespread specula- tion on Parliament Hill. In effect, the commission, un- der the chairmanship of Mr Grattan O'Leary, recommended specific government action to halt the use of foreign maga- zines by Canadian advertisers wishing to appeal to Canadian consumers. This is an objective favored over the years by Liberals and Conservatives alike. Mr. St. Laurent's Liberal government in fact imposed a 20 per cent tax on such advertisements; the Conservatives criticised this as being the wrong way to achieve the right end. When Mr. Dief- enbaker formed a government, he repealed this tax, but subse- quently set up the royal com- mission to enquire whether any other measures should be sub- stituted and, if so, what meas- ures. PRAISE AND CRITICISM A number of Canadian news- papers have blasted the com- mission's recommendations by GALLUP POLL : which discloses, tirely borne out by the report for example, 4 that one U.S. magazine, Time, incorporated a Canadian com- . pany in 1952 which has an Is- sued and outstanding capital of ; $100,000. In the past 7% years, that company has made net : profits after taxes of $2,183,017, or approximately 300 per cent : per year. Yet in the five years such comments as: "Give this report the axe!" One paper asserted that the proposals are "discriminatory, protectionist and narrowly na- tionalistic." Several critics took the line that it would be unfair and undesirable to ban "Cana- dian editions" of foreign maga- zines, since this would be the thin edge of censorship. It seems probable that critics in the latter class have misun- derstood one basic point. The commission recommended steps which would end the pres- ent system, whereby Canadian magazines have to face what it found to be unfair competition from "Canadian editions" of some U.S. magazines. But it did not propose the banning of any foreign magazines. While pro- posing a ban against what are in many cases practically a U.S. magazine wearing a maple leaf to become a 'Canadian edition', the commission would not hamper the entry into Can- ada of those parent or U.S. edi- tions, along with the 800 or so true U.S. magazines which are now offered on our newsstands. BIG PROFITS EARNED One severe critic suggests that the report discriminates against U.S. magazines which have been established in Can- ada in good faith, with invest- ments of many millions of dol- lars. This statement is not en- Opinion Strongly Backs 'Men First' For Jobs By CANADIAN INSTITUTE AT DEITIES. APINTON Belief that employers should not give married women an equal chance with men for any jobs available is mounting rap- idly in the face of current un- employment problems. Today almost eight in ten men and women think that men should definitely be given first chance. Moreover men and women agree on this, in exact proportions-- 79 per cent. The Women's Bureau for the Department of Labor reports that today 47 percent of the wo- men employed across the coun- try are married, 10 percent of them widows. Whatever public opinion may be, however, in regard to the principle of giving a man the preference over a married woman for any job available, the situation is a very Equal chance with men Give men first chance Qualified Undecided Analysis shows that women, far more than men, creased their conviction that men should get priority pared with five years ago, 24 of this opinion compared to 15 Fiqual chance with men Give men first chance .. Qualified Undecided Equal chance with men Give men first chance .. Qualified Undecided complex one, in that, generally han rine the 4une of work avail. able is that whic only men, or only women, can do effectively. There is not much opportunity in actual fact to make a choice between a man or a married woman for the great majority of job openings. Interviewers for the Gallup Poll asked a national cross-sec- tion of the Canadian nation, twenty-one years of age and over, this question: "Do you think married wo- men should be given equal op- portunity with men to compete for jobs or do you think em- ployers should give men the first chance?" Columns below show how the public's point of view has chang- ed in the past five years, as belief that married women should be given equal chance has been cut in half, 1956 1060 Today 23% 16% 70 79 5 1 2 1 100% have in- As com- percent more women are now percent more men Women's 100% 100% Attitudes Today 17% 79 3 1 100% Attitudes Today 15% 79 4 ?2 100% 100% Those who gave qualified approval for giving married women equal chance at a job said, in the main, that if the woman were in dire need for employment because of special circumstances, she should get preferenca. 1955-1959, all the true Canadian consumer magazines together lost $2,327,809. These contrast- ing results may not have been noticed by one critic of the re- port who classes a home-grown product as a fat cat hoping to benefit from the royal commis- sions proposals aimed at these skinny invaders. Thus we come back to the question why the budget pro- posed no steps to assist Cana- dian magazines, while yet giv- ing tariff or similar protection to Canadian textile mills, the producers of "gutless chick- ens", and others damaged by foreign competition. The answer appears to lie in two words: "Washington inter- ference". The U.S. government made representations on this subject to the Canadian government on the eve of the budget. Officially, I learn, Washington suggested that the two governments should confer before any action is taken here. But unofficially insiders say that Washington's attitude to Ottawa on this is be- ing as tough as Ottawa's atti- tude to London on trading pro- posals associated with Britain's possible entry into the Euro- pean Common Market. U.S. magazines, once given the red light by the former Lib- eral government, may now get the green light from the Con- servatives. BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Oshawa Kiwanians observed "All-Kiwanis Week" by joining with other clubs in a continent- wide observance stressing 26 years of service achievement. City Council decided upon the expenditure of $2,000 for stree! oiling purposes. Charles E. Eadie, having served 20 years with the Metro- politan Life Insurance Co. in Oshawa, has been promoted to assistant district manager of the Peterborough district. The Festival of St. John the Baptist was celebrated by Leb- anon Lodge No. 139, AF and AM, at the installation of officers, when Herbert Flintoff was installed as Wor. Master of the Lodge. Wor. Bro. A. Fursey presided at the installation. Oshawa and Ontario County made a magnificent contribution to Canada's war effort by sub- scribing for $7,307,150 in "1941 Victory Bonds. John H. H. Jury, well-known druggist and philanthropist, passed away at his home in Bowmanville, A Canadian Women's Volun- tary Services organization, On- tario Division, was formed with an effort to unite Canadian Women's war work, and Mrs. G. D. Conant was appointed vice-chairman of the group. A tribute was paid to Rev. T. H. P. Anderson, departing pas- tor of Albert St. United Church by members of the congrega- tion at' his farewell sermon. The annual Sunday School pic- nic of King St. United Church at Geneva Park was a delight- ful event, with over 200. in at- tendance. A lenghty program of sports under the chairmanship of A. Walker was keenly con- tested. Much damage was done in Oshawa and district by a gale which interrupted power lines, congesting traffic and' leaving many streets standing with two feet of water. REPORT FROM UX. Transport Museum Houses Treasures By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A museum that is decidedly different and which is reputed to be the largest of its kind in the world, has just been completed and opened to the public in London. It is the British Transport Commission's national transport commission. Located in Clapham, not far from the famous Clapham Junc- tion railway yards, it houses nearly a million historical treasures which trace the evolu- tion of public transport in the United Kingdom through a pe- riod of nearly two centuries. This is the first museum of a permanent nature in this coun- try to be devoted to the history of public transport by rail, road and water. SIX GALLERIES There are six galleries in the transport museum. These are filled with as fascinating a col- lection of relics as can be found under one roof from old engines and trains, tickets, time-tables and an almost end- less list of other items. What can be termed a rail- way enthusiast's paradise is seen in the seetion of old buses, canal craft and royal railway carriages of bygone days. This section of the museum, how- INSIDE YOU Bloodless Warts Strangle, Shrivel By BURTON H. FERN, MD ONE TINY wart forced Bill to cancel his prom date! Why, he could hardly hobble around! Bill had a plantar wart--one on the sole of his foot. Every time his weight crushed it, stars whirled in front of his eyes. Like any other wart, Bill's was caused by a tiny virus. Plantar warts may try to bulge outwards but, like grapes, they're squashed and flattened with every step that you take. And so plantar warts have to spread sideways, squeezing raw nerve endings Bill's wart hurt like a pebble inside his shoe Every plantar wart carries this painful punch. On the foot, it looked like any common callus. But when the doctor pared away its surface, brownish circles and dots show- ed its true colors. Calluses come in solid shades only; S5hey're homogenized. SHORTENED TIME Warts often melt away with- out help -- after two or three or more years. Hundreds of reme- dies promise to shrink these years into weeks. Ordinary surgery is out. The scalpel leaver a tiny scar which can supply that pebble-in-shoe feeling for years to come. The wart can be burned out with chemical caustics, electrocuted with a special machine or scraped clean with a miniature sharp-edged spoon. Nerve-numb- ing novacaine makes all treat- ment painless. You can even {ry home reme- dies such as rubbing castor oil into the wart 20 times morning and night. These kitchen cures often heal through faith. OTHER REMEDIES? Broken-down X-ray machines cure warts almost as well as powerful high voltage radiation. Hypnotism and mystic magic also seem to trigger spasm in the tiny artery nourishing each wart. The bloodless wart soon strangles and shrivels up. Dr. D. has cured hundreds of warts by drawing a circle around each with a pencil-like instrument. He. dons radiaton- proof apron and gloves before taking the instrument frem its special plastic container. The magic instrument? An ordinary red pencil! That special plastic contain- er? Oh, Dr. D's new toothbrush came in that! ever, is not yet completed, and will be opened to the public at a somewhat later date. At a press viewing, however, some of its interesting contents were revealed. One eye-catching piece in this section is Queen Alexandra's saloon carriage, built for her use in 1903. Another is the car- riage which was used by Queen Victoria on the old London North-Western Railway, with its plush bedroom, day saloon and staff quarters Less imposing, but equally as interesting to the onlooker, is an open air horse-draws knife- board bus of the vintage of 1851. A notice on it indicates that the fare for any distance was exactly one shilling. The six galleries which are now open to the public are fill- ed with showcases displaying the smaller items of the vast collection. Some old notices, on large posters, warn cab drivers of the penalties "for skylark- ing or otherwise misconducting themselves." Others advertise excursions from London te Car- lisle for 30 shillings, third class, Today there is no third class, but the second class tare, in- stead of being 30 shillings (about $4.25), is in the neigh- borhood of seven pounds, or roughly $19.60. The museum has been erected on the site of an old street car depot, so that many of the larg- er exhibits, such as buses. are housed in natural surroundings, It has taken more than 10 years to collect the exhibits from all parts of the country.
