| She Osharn Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1961 -- PAGE 6 Fine Health Leadership ' Shown By Dr. Dymond Dr. Matthew Dymond, Port Perry's fine contribution to the Ontario govern- ment, may not win the leadership of his party, but he has demonstrated that he has the qualities of enlightened and energetic leadership in his handling of the provincial health ministry. He has wrought a virtual revolution in the province's approach to mental health and treatment centres. He has not hesitated to step on to controversial ground to take a stand. And his ap- proach has consistently been one of deep concern for human values, en- lightened by his experience as a country doctor and earlier, as a student who had to work at diverse jobs for the money to finance his education. He was the target for ill- informed criticism when the Ontario some Hospital Services Commission pointed out -- quite rightly -- that if patients who really did not need further hospital care cut their stays in hospital by one day. there would be an enormous saving of costs, and more efficient use of avail- able bed space. Now the Commission has a plan to extend the coverage of the hospital insurance scheme to home care, to cover such items as nursing visits, tests drugs, dressings and so on. Dr. Dymond and hi staff must be given credit for this far-reaching proposal. It should do a great deal to ease the constantly increasing pressure on hospital space and hospital costs. Those patients who were almost recovered from illness but still needed nursing care or similar service but could not afford to pay for it at home, would under the new proposal be able to leave the hospital earlier than has been the custom. It is not difficult to visualize what this would mean to the availa- bility of hospital beds. Most hospitals will still need more bed space, because the population continues to grow in most parts of the province, but there would to be considerable easing of pressure. have Are Canadians Indolent? Through all the years since 1900 we Canadians have been looking to the future with optimism, sure that this was to be our century. Certainly, in comparison to most others, this has been and is a land of plenty. But suddenly we are faced with economic perplexities and the problem of creating. over the next five years the one million new non-farm jobs needed to provide for the predictable growth and change in the labor force. In truth, itis time we dis- carded the rose-colored glasses. Some answers to the puzzle have been proposed in a speech by Neil J. McKinnon, president of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. Mr. Mc- Kinnon thinks we are so sure of our prosperity that we have become indolent, so concerned with sharing the wealth that we inhibit the creation of more of it. "Are we in fact as hard working and energetic as we profess to be?" he aske. "Among a number of nations, Canada has not only the largest number of holidays, but also in many. activities the shortest workng week per year... In a comparison of improvement in pro- ductivity among 11 nations during the yeers 1954-59, Canada stood second to the bottom of the list . . . One may wonder whether there is a tendency not only by labor but also management to like leisure too much. . ." Having carried to the extreme the More Butter The president of the National Dairy Council of Canada has put his finger on the two basic problems of the dairy in- dustry. The industry is suffering, Pierre Cote said in Halifax recently, from under- consumption and from excessive and ever-increasing government intervention. He blamed the "accelerating loss of our domestic market for butter and fresh fluid milk" on government intervention. "This has been said before but Mr. Cote puts it very plainly and it bears repetition, says The Edmonton Journal. "He describes with telling accuracy the sittiation in the butter market.

Circulation for the issue of March 30, 1961 -- 17,363 philosophy of wealth-sharing by taxation, says Mr. McKinnon, the state now i# like the farmer that killed the goose that laid the golden egg. In World War Two the government, with the people's approval, devoted all our energies and incomes to the defence effort; but then the emergence of the welfare state led the government to continue high and steeply progressive taxes on the incomes of individuals and industry, and onerous taxes on estates. "Thus," he points out, "there was not only an insufficiency of venture capital but an inability, caused and enforced by ourselves, to create it. The postwar expansion in Canada on the scale which has taken place could only have happened through the influx of vast amounts of foreign capital, mostly from the United States, aided by immigration from Europe of addi- tional people with energy and skills." Significantly, he adds that since 1945 about half a million of 'the most able Canadians have emigrated to the United States. In the prosperous countries of West- ern Europe, maximum levéls of taxation are lower than in Canada; there is more incentive to work harder, more money left to invest in economic expansion. Here, tax rates may have passed the point of diminishing returns, and con- sumed the capital needed for job-creat- ing economic expansion. Troubles taining a support price, the government simply discourages domestic consump- tion of butter. Surplus stocks accumulate in government storage. They can only be reduced under present policy, by sacrifice sales to foreign buyers at public expense. Even with occasional sales of this objectionable sort, the surplus is mountainous. "The whole procedure is futile," the Journal believes. "It ensures. that pro- ducers will receive prices above a fixed minimum only at the cost of steadily reducing their domestic market. For pro- ducers and manufacturers alike, the end result can only be serious loss. The tax- Payers, meanwhile, are losing all the time. Exports, as much experience has demonstrated, offer no way out of the surplus position. Dumping in regular ex- port markets gives Canada a bad name and angers such friendly butter export- ers as New Zealand. Dumping in com- munist countries, at fire-sale prices and public expense, angers Canadian tax- payers, with good reason. They are not interested in assisting communist gov- ernments. "However, the public might be willing to absorb some losses, for the sake of getting rid of the surplus, if it could be assured that this would mean an end to the butter support program and govern- ment price control. The government, as Mr. Cote said, should clean up the sur- plus mess and get out of the business. In the long run, a policy of letting butter find its price and market levels in open competition would be better for all con- cerned and save the country much ey." _ THEY WERE SUCH A COMFORT WHEN LITTLE QUEEN'S PARK Engineer Sees Return To Feet By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- In 10 years a '"'walking" society. This is the startling prediction by an engineer, W. J. Malone, as reported in Ontario Plan- ning, a publication of the De- partment of Municipal Affairs. Mr, Malone says that increase of traffic at the present rates will mean that in the future transportation in urban centers well might be reduced to a walk- ing rate. He says to look at our com- munities now when they have a two or three inch snow-fall. Within a few years, he pre- dicts, traffic density could slow down movement to the same de- gree. And it will be the medium- sized center which could suffer most. The only public transportation now held back by this growth is sub-ways These, of course, are practi- cal for the big cities. But they are too costly for the smaller community. This whole field of planning il- lustrates just how complex our provincial affairs are growing today. . The development explosion since the war has made plan- ning a vital necessity for our community. The need for direction in the field stands out And this power of direction rests with the province, as it properly should. Yet how effective can this di- rection really be? In the final result it should be by the Legislature. NEE DEXPERTS This means there should be at least a good core of members with a broad knowledge of the field. But there isn't such a core and it is hardly to be expected that there would be. To acquire a good knowledge of the field would take months of study. Very few members would have the perserverance to un- REPORT FROM U.K. Teachers Follow One-Day Tactics By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- There is to be no extended and mass strike of British school teachers in their pay battle with the govern- ment, There will not even be area strikes timed at strategic dates in an effort to bring the government to terms with the dissatisfied teachers. There will be only one day of closed school due to striking teachers, and that will be nation-wide on October 24. On that day, the teachers will all stay away from school, everywhere in England and Wales, and 10,000 of them will stage a demon stration at Parliament Square in protest against the govern- ment decision to cut their ag- gregate pay increases by some $15 million These decisions, made by the teachers themselves through the medium of a secret ballot, were announced at a delegate conference of the National Union of Teachers held in Lon- don. VOTE AGAINST STRIKE The secret ballot was taken in 60 designated areas through- out the country, in which some 31,000 voting slips were issued. The result of this vote showed 13,579 teachers in favor of a strike, and 12,866 against it. An official of the National Union of Teachers said that . this meant that only 43 per cent of the teachers eligible to vote favored a strike. Under the union's rules, 2 75 per cent majority is required to bring about a strike. Union leaders also had to ad- mit defeat for a proposal that members should pay five per cent of their salaries to support area strikes in selected sec- tions of the country, The num- ber of ballot papers issued on this vote was 207,951. Of these, 72 per cent were returned, with following result: In favor of the levy 77,390; against the levy, 73,245. Here again, a 75 per cent favorable vote of those eligible was necessary to put the levy into effect, and the margin fell far short of that figure. AREA PLAN DROPPED In view of these figures, the union executive recommended to the conference that it drop the proposal for area strikes. Jt was revealed later that only one area, with 125 members, voted solidly in favor of an ex- tended strike. INSIDE YOU dertake this, even if they had the ability to grasp it. Some members have had the benefit of experience in planning at the municipal level. But most quite frankly know little or nothing about it. AN ANSWER? This, in turn, presents a prob- lem, of course. How can you have wise direc- tion of public affairs if the men responsible do not have the ex- perience or capacity to admin- ister them? A highly competent profes- sional civil service is a partial answer. OTTAWA REPORT BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO George W. Garner was elect- ed president of the Toronto sec- tion of the Society of Automo- tive Engineers. Oshawa was presented with a fire preventior shield awarded annually to Boards of Trade and Chamber of Commerce at the annual convention of the On- tario Associated Boards of Trade. Sheriff W. F. Paxton of Whitby was presented with a handsome gift of silverplate at a dinner tendered him by the Ontario Hockey Association of which he was treasurer. Library Board announced that the reading rooms of the Public Library were to be placed at the disposal of the citizens on Sunday afternoons. The annual bridge and tea under the auspices of the Osh- awa Genera! Hospital Auxiliary was one of the most delightful events of the season. Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin, president, Mrs. G. D. Conant, vice-president and Mrs. Frank Robson, con- vener of the bridge committee, received the guests. Public Utilities Commission decided to build a new filtra- tion plant as a relief project, with the assistance of the pro vincial government. The first annual reunion of the Old Boys of the Anglican Young Men's Club of St. George's Anglican Church was held in the parish hall with Cecil F. Cannon, public school in- spector, the guest speaker. A club was organized at St Gregory's under the chairman- ship of Paul Bruyea to under- take a financial drive to beau- tify the cemetery in North Oshawa. Rev. Dr. Edmund H. Oliver, Moderator of the United Church of Canada, delivered the address at the annual con- vention of the Bay of Quinte Young People's Conference held in St. Andrew's United Church of which J. Carroll Anderson of Oshawa was the president, Miss Evelyn Gay, secretary and E. Kiefaber, treasurer. Williams Piano Co. plant was one of the busiest in the city, when orders for radio sets were ahead of production, providing much work for day and night shifts. Visit To Japan Ly Diefeioakers By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, accompanied by Mrs. Diefenbaker, is making a goodwill call upon our newest trading friend--the populous is- land empire of Japan. In accepting this repeated in- vitation to visit Japan, our prime minister will receive the full red carpet treatment, rang- ing from an interview with the emperor traditionally known as The Son of God to a tour of the most westernized industries of the East. In the capital, Mr. Diefen- baker will have a two-hour talk with Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda on general world prob- lems, including no doubt the hazard of from the Russian nuclear tests, which is now a more severe worry in Japan than anywhere else. Also in Tokyo, the Diefen- bakers will be lunch guests of the Emperor Hirohito and the Empress of Japan. TOUR OF INDUSTRIES For two of his exactly five days in Japan, the prime min- ister will visit Osaka, the second largest city of Japan, and one of its great industrial centres. He will tour an electrical equip- ment factory and a_ spinning mill, representing two of the many Japanese industries whose products have become so well- known in Canada.

You don't want that soothing blend of rich tobacco to lull you to sleep. Never leave children home alone or with a baby-sitter who's just another child. Sitters should know what to do and who to call in case of fire, So should you! IS EVERYONE PREPARED? Is there a second exit from each room in case a sheet of flame blocks the doorway? Does everyone know how to get out of the house in emergency? How about regular fire drills?

(Airmen al- ways confusing use the longer nautical mile of 6,080 feet.) He will arrive in Ottawa at about midnight on that same date. This timetable does not indi- cate that our air force can now place at the disposal of our prime minister an aircraft cap- able of more than double the sneed of even the fastest trans- atlantic jet airliners. It merely underlines the hazards to the metabolism and the sanity of the modern Flying Statesman. This is how it will come about. The PM will leave Tokyo at 6 p.m. on Oct. 31. His plane will head eastward over the Pacific Ocean towards our west coast. After 5 hours flight, the plane will have covered just over 2,000 miles. But the time on board will not then be 11 p.m. The plane will have travelled one-eighth of the way around the earth, so the prime minister will have to adjust his watch by advancing it one-eighth of 24 hours. That, one might assume, would make his time 2 a.m. on Nov. 1, But remember, the prime min- ister was due back in Ottawa at midnight on Oct. 31, and there he is more than 4,000 miles away over mid - Pacific. That paradox is solved by the fact that at that very moment Mr. Diefenbaker's plane will cross the International Date Line. So while he is putting his watch three hours forward, he must put his diary one day back. He will begin to live through a sec- ond 24-hour period called Oct. 33, 1961. The two days named Oct. 31 in Mr. Diefenbaker's year will offset the earlier mystery of the lost Oct. 25, which will have dis- appeared when he crossed the International Date Line on his journey to Japan. TRADE PROBLEMS Another problem not likely to be so neatly balanced on the Japan trip is of course the $68,- 000,000 lost somewhere between Canada and Japan. We sold goods worth $178,000,000 to Japan last year, We did not, as would have been equitable, buy a like value of goods from Japan. No, we insisted that Japan should impose "volun- tarv" quotas on her sales to us, so Japan was only able to earn $110,000,000 from her exports to Canada, It-may be simple coincidence. But it is of interest that Japan has just accredited as her new ambassador to Canada the bril- liant young Nobujiko Ushiba, who happens to be one of the Japanese government's star eco- nomists, We can be sure that his major task here will be to seek arrangements whereby Ca- nadians will buy more of the products of those factories in- spected by Mr. Diefenbaker, and others like them.
