She Oshawa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1961 -- PAGE 6 1962 Business Expected Continue Upward Move Levels of business activity can be ex- pected to continue upwards in 1962, according to the Bank of Montreal's Busi- ness Review for December, just issued. The review says signs of an upturn from last year's mild recession began to-appear early this year and have since strength- ened. Thus, the bank's preliminary esti- mate for 1961 shows Canada's total out- put of goods and services increasing by something more than two per cent over the 1960 figure. "At first sight this seems to be a small increase particularly when some part of it, although probably well less, than half, will derive from price changes," the bank says. "However, it should be / noted that the total has been held down by the relatively low levels of activity during the early part of the year, as well as by the disappointing agricultural output resulting from the drought on the Prairies, "Seen in this light, such an increase, while small compared with the growth potential of the Canadian eco- nomy, is cause for some satisfaction." During the year, the growing strength of the economy was augmented by favor- able developments in Canada's external trade. To September 30, total merchan- dise exports were up 6.2 per cent over the previous year, while imports rose only 2.2 per cent. As a result, a surplus of some $50 million on merchandise trade was attained in this period, versus a deficit of more than $100 million in 1960. The general improvement in the eco- nomy was also reflected in the seasonally adjusted Canadian index of industrial production, which reached 176.3 in Sep- tember, or 6.5 per cent above the low point in March of this year. Place Of Newspapers One of Canada's most important ex- ports is newsprint and since it is necessary to have collated information regarding sales opportunities and other - details affecting the manufacture of the product, the six leading Canadian pro- ducers of. newsprint are contributing members of what is known as the News- print Information Committee. With the co-operation of the Bureau of Advertis- ing, American Newspaper Publishers As- sociation, which acted in a supervisory capacity, a study has been made which sets forth the kind of service being given today in the United States by daily newspapers. While the survey presents the situation as far ay American news- papers are concerned, its findings are applicable in large measure to Canada. In a Foreword, Charles T. Lipscomb Jr. president of the Bureau of Adver- tising Inc. ANPA, states "The research shows that newspapers are big, that they enjoy a unique position in the daily 'life of the people. Most important for the advertiser, it shows that newspaper advertising shares the intimate, imme- diate personal character of the paper itself, that people accept it as factual and down-to-earth. More than with any other medium, they feel it speaks to them." Some of the facts brought out are: Daily newspapers are read in nine out of ten homes in cities and suburbs. Two out of three persons read the newspaper at a habitual time, and the paper is picked up 2.4 times by each reader. Of particular interest is the authenti- cated record that 71 per cent of read- ers read their newspaper thoroughly page by page and that 49 per cent state they would feel "quite lost" without it. Of signifi to merchandisers is. the report that four out of five newspaper readers like to look at the ads even when they don't plan on buying. Commenting on the survey, Editor and Publisher of New York, weekly magazine of the newspaper fraternity, has this to say: "The most important and significant part of these comments and their ratings was this: 82.8 per cent of those in- terviewed said newspapers tell me where to buy things. This was almost 30 percentage points above the ratings given to radio on the same statement. Television came in third and magazines fourth." Marconis Achievement The month of December, 1961, marks the 60th anniversary of the happening at St. John's Newfoundland, of an event that astounded the world--the recep- tion on Signal Hill by the inventor Marconi of a signal flashed through the atmosphere from Poldhu, Cornwall. Fittingly, when Marconi sailed from England to set up his crude wireless receiving station on this side of the Atlantic he instructed that the first broadcast should be of the Morse code's three dot symbol for the letter S -- to him, a symbol of success. Less than a year later Marconi's Canadian company was operating a wireless service between Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, and Ireland. Two years later it built east coast sta- tions to reach ships at sea, stations that were to have some part in the rescue ot more than 1,000 survivors of the Titanic disaster. In 1919 it established one of the world's first public broadcast- ing stations -- transmitting the human voice and music, and initiating the chain of events that has revolutionized com- The Oshawa Fines T.

Marconi's 1901 success was not easily accepted. The great inventor Thomas Edison thought the whole thing a "news- paper fake". When the New York Herald's correspondent cabled in his story from Signal Hill the paper inter- rupted the despatch with the message, "Your bulletin about Marconi seems incredible, Please be extremely careful... the report must be confirmed by Mar- coni." The Montreal Gazette, after re- porting Marconi's description of the event and the world's excitement, went on to say, "There is some speculation here as to the practicability of this scheme of wireless telegraphy ... Mar- coni, however, is satisfied ... that great surprises are in store for the world in this matter." By the time Marconi died, in his native Italy in 1937, he had lived to see his discoveries bring safety to shipping, carry the human voice from continent to continent, make possible long-distance air navigation, save countless lives through mobile radiotelephone equip- ment for police and fire departments. The list is long, is still growing, even- tually will even include helping man to reach the planets. And on Signal Hill this December amateur radio operators,using equipment supplied by the company started here by the great inventor, -- now the 2,400- employee Canadian Marconi Company -- heard again from Cornwall the Morse code's three-dot signal for the letter S.

TIME HE HAD A FLING REPORT FROM U.K. Gypsies Findin Friends In Need By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For Thé Oshawa Times LONDON -- The colorful gyp- sies of Hertfordshire, who have been kicked from pillar to post in recent months, have at last found a friend in need. These gypsies for many years had used Colney Heath, near St. Albans, as their traditional camping ground. Recently, the village council of Colney Heath evicted them from the village common, claiming they were a nuisance and were covering the friend in need since they were evicted from Colney Heath, as I reported in this column a few weeks ago. Barbara Cartland- i Onslow, well-known authoress, g common with litter and rub- bish. They were evicted by the police, and barriers were erected so that they could not return. Their friend in need is the Marquess of Salisbury. He has offered them a field on his es- tate of Hatfield Hall, at a nom- inal rental of $2.90 a year, so that they can live there in peace and with an assurance of se- curity. FUND ESTABLISHED In fact, the itinerant gypsies have found more than one QUEEN'S PARK New Stars Shine In Political Sky By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- It happens in sport, it happens in the theatre and it happens in politics. The stars change. The old heroes play themselves out of the league . And new men come up to take their place. The scene is rapidly changing here. And with it a new set of heroes is getting ready to take the headlines. NEW COMERS Leading the-parade, of course, is Premier Robarts. He's the new boy in the big job. He auto- matically gets star billing. But this brief session showed he will not be alone in the lime- light. Other men have been starting to score goals. And though they are not settled into star stature yet, they seem to be well on their way. TWO BIG MEN Who are they? Well, it was plain that Robert Macaulay would be one of the men of the future. Which, of course, was no news. Though Opposition Leader Win- termeyer has been on the scene for some time now there has not been assurance before that he would reach star status. These are the obvious men, naturally. They have been on the verge of star rating for some time. YOUNG MEN But coming up. with them are some others who have been mainly in the shadow. John White, the young PC from London South, appears ts be one of these. Mr. White made.the big faux pas of the session when he stumbled into the opening for Mr. Wintermeyer to repeat his crime speech. But despite this he should be PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "Do you know what life is?" asks a philosopher. No, indeed, but we have a strong hunch that it is a form of nervousness.

He Says sooner or later man will estroy all life on earth. marked as one of the men of the future here -- though he still needs grooming. Also still to be groomed, but apparently with the needed qual- ity, is Allan Lawrence, young PC from Toronto-St. George. Mr. Lawrence speaks his mind, and he can talk a lot of sense, Another young comer ifs Wil- liam Davis of Peel, only 31, but already a Hydro Commissioner. SOPHA RASH? On the Liberal side Elmer Sopha of Sudbury made quite a big mark. Mr. Sopha still may be a bit too quick off the mark. He still has to learn that in politics small mistakes can ruin big efforts. He leaves the feeling he is.still rash. But there is no question dl his potential--he has the abil- ity. took an interest in their cause, and established a Romany fund which bears her name. } Along with Miss Cartland as trustees of the fund are the Earl of Onslow and the Earl of Birkenhead. It is to this trust which the Marquess of Salisbury has of- fered the field near his home as a reservation for the wan- dering gypsies. It is the hope of the trustees for the Romany Fund that this will only be the first of several such reservations for gypsies. Through the fund which has been established they plan to set up small Romany camps of six caravans in various parts of the country, with supervision by a caretaker, TRUSTEE STATEMENT In their appeal for support for this venture, the trustees say: "We are appalled at the treatment of the gypsies by the local authorities. After being citizens of Great Britain since the reign of King Henry VIII, they are being subjected to ra- cial persecution in a manner which, if it were taking place in any other country, would produce both national indigna- tion and international protest. "Traditional camping grounds and commons are closed to gypsies, yet they are heavily fined if they do not move every 24 hours. Although they are British in the full sense of the word, they are literally or- dered to 'go nowhere'." Miss Cartland, who has been campaigning for some time on behalf of the country's gypsies, said: "Lord Salisbury's generous offer means that we shall be able to start our first gypsy encampment, We are delight- ed." The first caretaker of the reservation will be Luke Davis, whose family have camped on Colney Heath for generations. It will be supervised and visited regularly by a gypsy missioner. INSIDE YOU Faith Can Prove Effective Agent By BURTON H. FERN, MD DEAR DOCTOR: What do you mean by "faith" healing ailments? Miss K. G. Dear Miss G.: More than one hundred proven incurable can- cer victims have suddenly re- covered without reason. Per- haps prayer cured them. The Lord works in mysterious ways --too mysterious to judge. Fake radium, phony X-rays and other mystic ceremonies have cured warts. Religious prayer would certainly have worked as well -- if not better. Through the unconscious mind, faith in some cure trig- gers spasm in the tiny artery nourishing each wart. Without its stem, the wart shrivels up like a plucked flower. RELIEVES TENSION Faith relieves the emotional tension that colors every illness. But no quack actually cures. When prayers don't seem to be 'answered, the answer. may simply be "No." An old French Saying explains, "God cures and the doctor collects the aA lal Dear Doctor: Mental conta- gion spreads disease -- not physical contact.

STILL HEALTHY Dear Mr. M.: Let's look at the facts! $ Medical students spend years studying exotic diseases and they're still a healthy lot.

But in- stcad of lymphoblastoma, scro- fula or kala-azar, . those little lumps generally turn out to be ordinary swollen glands. Learning obstetrics has never triggered pregnancy among mcdical - students -- even at Wonien's Medical College. * You're entitled to your be- liefs, but, if you don't mind, we'll stick to the facts! OTTAWA REPORT First Bold Move To Western Unity more closely-knit Atlantic Com- qire,: By PATRICK NICHOLSON "There is a tide in the affairs of men," wrote Shakespeare, "which, taken at the flood, leads on .o fortune; omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shaliows and in miseries." Substitute "'shackles" for "shallows", and that ancient pearl of wisdom describes what wouid happen to our Western World if we omit to take today's flood tide leading towards unity. We of the West are abusing ovr democratic privilege of speaking with many tongues-- fcr éxample, the - Ministerial Council of our North Atlantic Treaty Organization was dead- locked over the Berlin crisis by the French veto earlier this month; but we must unite or, as Napoleon warned, we will be "overrun by Cossacks." The first bold step towards Western unity, likely to be pro- Psea through the urgent new Political creativity, will be a munity based upon the member- ship of NATO. An international political leadership will be cre- ated, perhaps comparable to our Canadian Cabinet and House of Commons. The former would be a perma- nent council consisting of min- isters representing all NATO nations. It would take decisions by a prescribed majority, using a vote weighted to reflect our different populations, instead of, as now, waiting upon unanimity . attained by compromise. The Atlantic Assembly would like our House, consist of repre- sentatives elected directly by the voters of each country, in nuinbers also reflecting our pop- ulations. Members would prob- avly tend to vote in accordance with political philosophies rather then their national origin.

Now he is preparing to un- dertake a new 'political strug- gle at home as he attempts to steer his countrymen toward freer trade and greater interna- tional co-operation. Failure to carry the U.S. Congress and the public with him in his demands for power to reduce American tariffs may dent the Kennedy image again and perhaps hurt the Demo- crats in crucial congressional elections due next November. Failure to sway the public may also enhance the political stature of a spreading ultra- conservative right-wing which some American observers an- ticipate may develop into a potent "third force' in Ameri- can politics. LEADERS CONCERNED Both Kennedy and former president Eisenhower are con- cerned over this rising element of militancy. Both have spoken out against extremists. When he stepped out of office last Janu-. ary, Eisenhower warned the U.S. against the threat of a "disastrous rise of misplaced power" by the U.S. military in- dustrial complex. "We musi-never.let the weight of this combination en- danger our liberties or demo- cratic processes," he said. K dy in ber said the U.S. can no longer obtain easy or quick solutions to prob- lems confronting the world. "We must face the fact that the United States is neither omnipotent nor omniscient -- that we cannot always impose our will on the other 94 per cent of mankind--that we cannot right every wrong .or revérse each adversity--and that there- BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Alex W.

He had approved American sup- port of the Cuban rebel invasion and reaped months of scorch- ing criticism at home and abroad. USED LEGISLATION Kennedy recovered his popu- larity through legislation he put before Congress to strengthen American defences, aid the un- employed and the low-paid and provide farmers with higher subsidies. Some of his key proposals, such as medical insurance for old-age pensioners and federal aid for teachers' salaries, were sidelined. He was heartened in 1961 by results of local and regional elections. Kennedy supporters won over Republican nominees in the mayoralty contest in New York City, in a governor- ship battle in New Jersey and in a fight over a Texan con- gressional vacancy. The big fight is ahead in the November tussle for control of Congress.

Other free nations would be welcomed into it. lop- An inevitable ment from this would be ration- alization of our economies. This weuid lead to more goods, cheaper production, lower prices in the market place, higher liv- ing standards, and jobs for all. Aid would be given to individual industries rendered and their workers would be ase sistea by retraining, and reloca- tion if needed. There would be no huge unplanned shifts of pop- ulation. This trading area would be su- pervised by a commission, per- haps developed from the present Organization for Economic Co- operation and Development. New responsibilities of this body might include co-ordinating in- creased aid to underdeveloped nations, and fighting the impor- tant battle for man's mind by spelling out and publicising the aims and offers of democratic freeaom. 'Thus we would progress from the present anarchy of national- ism to world peace and prosper- ity through an "Atlantic Interde- pendency."

Any club that has a long list of members clamoring for ad- mission would seem to have cause for self-congratulation, but the new year finds anxious ques- tions being asked about the long- term prospects of an associa- - whose makeup is changing ast. The hope that the "old" Com- monwealth based on Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa could forge new links with emerging new members in Africa and Asia suf- fered its first major setback March 15, 1961. On that day Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd rose at a conference of Commonwealth rime ministers in London's ancaster House to' announce that he was withdrawing South Africa's application to remain in the Commonwealth after May 31, when it became a republic. Delegates sensed the tragedy of the moment. South Africa's membership dated from 1910 and there was a shared cultural heritage with Britain stretching back 150 years. ATTACK RACE POLICY Prime Minister Diefenbaker of Canada played an important role at the conference, joining with the prime ministers of In- dia, Ghana, Malaya, Nigeria and Pakistan in sceking to convince Dr. Verwoerd that the Afri- kaner government's uncom: promising racial policies could not be reconciled with the prin- ciples of a multi - racial Com- monwealth. Conference sources said South Africa could have remained in the association if Verwoerd had made the slightest concession to majority opinion. South Africa's withdrawal transformed what was largely "old boys' club" into an asso- ciation mainly composed of new members who have yet to es- pare ce ll rage ak for a group! whose lveness has always been based on in- tangibles.

Gambia with Zanzibar moved smoothly toward the same goal. But there were strains in the case of Uganda which hopes to attain complete freedom in Octo- ber, 1962.
