The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1961 -- PAGE 6 Insurance Fund Moves Closer To Bankruptcy It's now official: the Unemployment Insurance Fund will vanish this winter, unless something is done about it. Its bankruptcy, from the day that it ceased to be in- surance and ceased to operate on a sound actual basis. however, was inevitable The federal government must either change the name of the Fund, so that there is no pretence of its being an in- surance scheme, or maintain the Fund as a properly operated insurance propo- sition and form another fund to take care of the people who cannot contribute in an equitable manner to the insurance scheme. For the past five or six years the Fund has been burdened with respon- sibilities that it cannot discharge, be- cduse it was never meant or fitted to discharge them. What the seasonally or regularly unemployed pay into the Fund 1s bound to be a very small part of what they take. out. Fishermen, with their employers and the government, contri- buted $2.9 million to the Unemploy- ment Insurance Fund from April, 1957, to March 31, 1961; in the same period they took out of the Fund a total of $26.7 million. Workers in inland waters trans- portation contributed less than half a million dollars to the Fund in 1959 (last year's figures are not at hand), and drew out $4.3 million. In the same year, workers in the logging and lumber- ing industry paid in $4 million and took out $30.2 million. In September, 1960, the Senate com- mittee on manpower and unemployment noted that there were 76,200 married women across Canada who were claim- ants for unemployment insurance, while at the same time the Dominion Bureau of Statistics survey of the Labor force found only 15,000 married women among the unemployed. As the Montreal Gazette observes, "this is not to say that those who are regularly unemployed because of the nature of their work should not receive help." In unemployment, too, there are factors of health, lack of training, move- ment from depressed areas, to be con- sidered. But these should be considered apart from unemployment insurance, Adult Education Grows A Canadian Conference on Educa- tion study says that about two million Canadians are taking part in some form of adult education. The estimate ap- pears in "Continuing Education", a book- let written by Dr. J. R. Kidd, secretary- treasurer of the Social Science Research Councii of Canada and the Humanities Research Council of Canada, and is the sixth in a series of nine booklets being published to stimulate discussion of topics for the 1962 Canadian Conference on Education to be held in Montreal next March. Dr. Kidd activities by business corporations, night schools, libraries, universities, labor unions, farm groups, co-operatives, churches and voluntary associations. He writes that an "educational revolution" has been going on almost unnoticed -- "this remarkable educational phenome- non is of men and women going to school." Repid technological changes have made our society a "learn- ing society" in which people have to continue learning almost all their lives, reviews adult education and social he writes. The emphasis on adult edu- cation has been changed from "reme- dial" -- making up for deficiencies in formal education -- to "continuing", a tealization that more and more adults will be engaged in education most of their lives. This may be a little opti- mistic,, but there is no doubt that there is such a trend, based on the changing requirements of vocations. As Dr. Kidd notes: "The engineer or machinist: may stay with his company but be promoted to the position of manager or foreman. He no longer uses much of the specific voca- tional information or vocational skill he has learned or acquired. Now he must be able to deal with people, to select, train and promote others, He is in a new realm and it is one for which he has no formal preparation." And there are many others -- elected officials, for example-- who: must extend their knowledge. "Most people still do not accept the fact that adults can learn well and they seem to take it for granted that their faculties are impaired," Dr. Kidd says. "In behaving this way they handicap themselves for learning." Winter Driving Habits Motorists are being cautioned to "winterize" their driving habits as well as their cars. "It is important to attend to both if you want to enjoy trouble-free winter driving," says Trevor A. White, general manager of the Ontario Motor League. "One can be taken care of by your garage, but the other is your respon- sibility." jEmphasizing that streets and high ways in winter are often slippery and hazardous, the OML official listed the following tips for "winterizing" your driving: Get the feel of the road; test surface conditions as you start out; follow at a safe distance; leave plenty of room to stop: avoid sudden manoeuvres -- stops, sterts or turns; know how to prevent a skid and also how to get out of a skid; She Oshawa Times T, Lb.

Correspondent for The Oshawa Times EASTBOURNE, Sussex -- The city corporation of Eastbourne, popular summer resort on the south coast of England, is look- ing far ahead into the future in its plans to maintain that popu- larity by providing amenities which visitors will enjoy and appreciate It is setting up standards for which will fix the leases of those on corporation property up to the year 2050. And those who wish to remain in business after the present leases expire in. 21 years time will have to agree to a set of minimum standards of accommodation laid down by the town council This situation arises from the fact that the corporation of Eastbourne is the ground land- lord of the Royal Parade, facing the seafront. The. properties there consist mainly of hotels with leases which expire in 1982 hotel vance, the council has given notice of the conditions on which these leases may, in that year, be renewed as far ahead as the middle of next century, the year 2050 STIFF CONDITIONS There are two main conditions on which these leases may be renewed. First is an increased rent to be decided by the dis- trict valuer. The second is that the hotel proprietors provide ac- commodation up to a minimum which has been agreed to by the town council. Some of the conditions seem quite onerous to the hoteliers. There must be at least one bath- room to every 10 guests, and a separate lavatory for every seven guests. These are min- imal standards. There must. be a wash-basin with a constant supply of hot water in every bedroom, with central heating or gas or, elec- tric fires. There must be light- ing points over beds and wash- basins and points for electric shavers. INSIDE YOU More Questions About Vitamins By BURTON H. FERN, MD Q.: From the enclosed label you can 'see that our vitamins don't contain the exact Recom- mended Daily Allowance (RDA). Why? A Every varies the proportions some- what, but most multivitamin pills contain all you need and more Labels tell about 'Minimum Daily Requirements' (MDR)-- the amount needed to prevent deficiency. They're somewhat less than the RDA of Vitamin A -- 5,000 Units; Vitamin D-- 400 Units; Vitamin B-1--1.6 mg; Vitamin B-2--1.8 mg; Niacin-- 20 mg; Vitamin C--75 mg Q.: What doses of vitamin A cause poisoning? What are the symptoms? A.: More than 100,000 Units daily, Skin roughens, hair thins and eyebrows disappear. So does your strength! Bones bleed into painful swellings along arms and legs.

Q: Why did my doctor pre- scribe expensive choline syrup? A.: Choline helps prevent cir- rhosis when fat infiltrates into the liver. This fat can climb on choline for a free ride into the circulation Choline giant also helps manufac- ture nerve-iriggering chemi- cals.

LITTLE NOURISHMENT A.: Except for a tiny bit of vitamin A and iron, you have to search hard to find any vital nourishment in pickled olives. The pimento adds little more!

There must be at least 10 square feet of space to every person in dining rooms and 20 square feet in lounges and communal rooms. There must also be at least six feet of space per per- son in kitchens and stores The hoteliers have known for some time of the conditions on which they can renew their leases, but at that time the council has not finalized its min- imum standards of accommoda- tion. So far, none of them have either accepted or rejected the council's proposals. Now they are all being notified, 'by letter from the town clerk, of the de- cisions made by the council. Some of the councillors thought the standards were too strict, but they were in the min- ority. Alderman Sydney Caffyn, one of those who fought to have the new minimum standards adopted, said: "T am frankly appalled at the suggestion that these standards are expecting too much. We have got to force the issue. If hotels are too small, they will just have to amalgamate so that an elevator can be provided and the other standards met." PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM In case of an atomic attack the person who has a: fallout shelter might, before entering it, post signs at the entrance reading, '"'Smallpox", "Bubonic Plague", "Yellow Fever', etc "If a lion should threaten you, don't let him know you are afraid," advises a_big-game hunter. No matter how hard we might try we just couldn't be that deceptive. "In addition to free speech, a perso also has the right to keep his opinions to himself," sais a judge. It's a right that's sel- com exercised and never abus- ed. "It took Nature six million years to make man," says an evolutionist.

OTTAWA REPORT Fine Show Staged then certainly the spice in our 1 talent which By Ethnic Groups By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Prime Minister John Diefenbaker told a cheer- ing audience of New Canadians that this country will introduce a motion at the United Nations condemning Soviet colonialism. The significance of that state- ment, to Old Canadians, lay as much in its audience as in its content. For Mr. Diefenbaker was addressing an audience of nearly 10,000 men, women and children of Metropolitan Tor- onto's ethnic groups. They rep- resented no less than 29 differ- ent national origins, and the members of 16 of those groups would today be living under Communist dictatorship if they had not come to Canada. That huge audience had as- sembled in the Queen Elizabeth Building at the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition grounds, to at+ tend a concert and reception in honor of the prime minister and Mrs. Diefenbaker. A keen observer would have noted that the honored guests included Canada's first prime minister to boast an admixture of ethnic blood, and Canada's first wholly-ethnic cabinet minister, Hon. "Mike" Starr, the minister of labor who represents Osh- awa in our Federal Parliament. WHAT IS ETHNIC? The expression "hyphenated Canadians" is increasingly dropping out of our usage; it is being replaced by the phrase ethnic groups", or even the one word "'ethnic". It is derived from the old Greek word "eth- nos', meaning '"'a nation". In current use here it has acquired --perhaps usefully but certainly inaccurately--the meaning "be- longing to a racial group other than British or French." It is a word which is worn with considerable pride by those entitled to use it, and this long, colorful and varied evening of entertainment showed the jus- tification for this pride. It is very doubtful whether an Eng- lish-Canadian or a French-Ca- nadian troupe could have staged and performed so skillfully such a varied entertainment. About 20 different nationali- ties were represented on the program. Their: talents - ranged from ballet dancing to choral singing, from renderings of grand opera on the accordion to solo religious songs. Unusual touches were the Hungarian sword dance, the demonstration of fencing by German swords- men, acrobatics by Czechoslo- vakian performers, and a mem- orable rendering of "O Canada" by an Italian choir. But the palm was surely won without a dissenting vote by a five - year -old Croatian girl, Branka Hilda Irek, who not merely played the piano, but played a "'ballade'" which she had composed especially for that occasion in honor of John Dief- enbaker; and after her perform- ance, she won thunderous ap- plause as she presented the sheet of her music to her prime minister. PROUD CULTURES If Canada be the racial melt- ing pot of the mid-20th century, QUEEN'S PARK Sound Ideas Seen In Morton Report By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Prof. Desmond Morton has a wonderful Irish brogue. And he uses it to talk a lot of sense Prof. Morton's report on gam- bling is one of the most interest- ing official documents we have had here in years. By now you khow the bones of what he suggests: a broader system of legalized gambling, with government betting offices which would handle bets for On- tario race tracks, for one thing. What -you probably have not read is the detailed research on which his findings are based, and the common-sense thinking behind his conclusions. NO BIAS One particularly respects the apparent absence of bias in Prof Morton. His. report is an_ objective study, and his conclusions im-- press as being quite impartial. This applies even to his rec- ommendation in favor of a per- manent committee of inquiry into law enforcement and crime rather than a royal commission, which has been so much de- manded This, of course, tends to get Attorney - General Roberts off the hook The committee not only would be permanent but would be fed- eral. You can be sure the opposi- tion won't take to the sugges- tion -- particularly as law en- forcement is a provincial re- sponsibility. But one has the feeling that the professor believes in this approach. (Or does he? And how firmly? The recommendation was the very last in an 111 page re- port.) OTTAWA ACT There probably won't be any early developments out of the report, of course. There is practically nothing that can be done about its rec- ommendations without changes in the criminal code. And the federal government must make these. It is probably, in fact, most significant as a sign of the times. A sign that our society is both broadening and getting down to earth. As long-standing prejudice is concerned, government will be slow to act on it. But it is such a well-founded document it seems inevitable that eventually it will set the pattern for a new approach to gambling. national broth is the culture and the millions of "ethnic" newconwrs are bring- { ing to us. Nor should we forget the practical skills which se many of them bring as well, skills of an artisah and craft nature which are all too rare and too little apprenticed here today. The statistics of the 1961 cen- sus will be availzible within two or three months, and one of the surprises which they will show will be that Tafronto, so long more English than England in many ways, now contains only a minority of English - Cana- dians. While there are well- known and well - liked ethnic communities in many of our cit- ies, Toronto ts the principal Mecca to our post-war newcom- ers, so many af them refugees from Communism. Perhaps it is this latter poimt which makes these newcomers so dedicated to our democratic form of gove ernment -- certainly never be- fore have we had so many eth- nic MPs--Nick Mandziuk, Rey- nold Rapp, Stan Korchinski, John Kucherepa, Bert Badanal, Mike Starr, Doug Jung and some of them---admirable repre- sentatives all.. End in Sight Of Gold Hunt ANCHORAGE (Reuters)--The hunt for gold in Alaska's once- rich districts of Fairbanks and Nome will come to a virtual standstill within two years. The death knell has been sounded by 'the United States Smelting and Refining Com- pany, the omly. big company Still operating in the districts. By late 1962 or 1963, an official Says, operations at. both Nome and Fairbanks will be brought to a halt. The contpany's withdrawal from the Alaskan goldfields will mark the end of an era for this far-northern state. The almost - deserted fields will be a vivid contrast to the days 63 years ago when the cry of '"'gold" here and in the Klondike of Canada's neighbor- ing Yukon Territory touched off one of the most dramatic pop- ulation migyations in history. Then, gold was the dream of everyone and prospectors ar- riving here expected to find it lying like pebbles on the Nome beach and in mother lodes in the creeks near Fairbanks. The cost of mining gold has tripled since then and now it is too costly to mine even by the most economical methods. In 1950 there were more than 500 gold-mining companies. To- day there are fewer than 10. Walmsley & Magill OFFICE EQUIP. LTD. 9 KING ST. E. OSHAWA 725-3506 Nothing Measures Up to WOOL!
