SO ad She Oshawa Times Published by' Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1962--PAGE 6 Tax Cuts And Spending Swede's Prescription It's fashionable at the moment to point to Sweden as the most glitter- ing example of a well-managed eco- nomy -- they don't have strikes, they keep prices under control, they have no unemployment, they have a great deal of security, and so on. Now what do the Swedes think of us? Well, an eminent Swedish econom- ist, Dr. Gunnar Myrdal, has taken a look at the US. economy and has prescribed some quite drastic medi- cine. And since the Canadian economy so closely resembles that of the United States, Canadians should be interested in what he had to say. Since the start of the Eisenhower administration, Dr. Myrdal told a New York Times correspondent in Stock- holm, the American economy has been stagnant. U.S. strength in dealing with both friends and adversaries has been eroded by "short weak rises" periodically broken by recession. His prescription: A big tax cut; a massive increase of public investment in schools, slum elimination and medical facilities; substantial investment by business in new plant and equipment; suspension by labor unions for a year or more of their demands for higher wages. He urged Americans to free themselves of such "superstitutions" as insistence on a balanced budget and fear of losing gold; the steps he recommended, carried through with a mobilization of effort by govern- ment, industry and labor such as occurs in time of war, would ultima- - tely -greatly increase government reveflues and give new strength to the dollar, he argued. Indeed, Dr. Myrdal thinks that the 'United States owes it to itself and the entire non-Communist world to rejuvenate its economy. With a buoyant economy, government would find the drain of gold ended, confi- dence in the dollar restored and foreign aid programs more easily financed. We wonder what Dr. Myrdal would say specifically about Canada's econ- omic troubles. We certainly have not been superstitious about balanced budgets, but our deficits have helped to put us into a precarious financial position. About all we've proved is that a country can't spend itself into a healthy economic position, at least when it's spending money it hasn't got. But he also suggests a big tax cut -- an agonizing proposal to a Canadian finance minister who has to take into account the huge bill for payments he can do little or nothing about. In the United States President Kennedy is proposing a fairly modest tax cut and is running into trouble with a balky Congress, If the presi- dent had the temerity to ask for a big tax cut, Senator Goldwater and his supporters might even be shocked into speechlessness -- which is a very inviting possibility. Jamaica Celebrates At about 12.01 next Monday mor- ning Jamaicans will kick off the dizziest celebration in their island's colorful history. At about that mo- ment they will raise their new national flag and apply matches to fireworks that will signal the start of a week of festivities to mark Jamaica's inde- pendence. Besides the parades, the indepen- dence balls and street dances, there will be exhibits of art, sculpture and photography. Several towns will pre- sent pageants. And there will be music, of course; calypso writers and singers from all over the island have composed scores of independence songs. The Jamaicans even have a new national anthem. So, with independence still several hours away, Jamaica is already ahead Inner Tubes The old inner tube is a favorite swimming toy with children and even some grownups, but it can. be danger- ous, the Canadian Highway Safety Council warns. Usually the tubes are old, patched and weak from deteriora- tion of the rubber. Slow leaks, un- noticed at first, can suddenly become fast leaks in the water. Defective valves, often the reason the tube was discarded in the first place, are danger spots. Zippers and fasteners on swim suits can easily rip the tube. The greatest danger is using an old tube in deep water. Sudden deflation Bible Thought If we say we have fellowship with God and walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth. -- I. John 1:6.

But after the festivities are finished, the Jamaicans face a tough and challenging road. Independence Week comes to an end on Aug. 12 with a day of prayer and meditation -- and both will be needed. Jamaica has demonstrated its political stability. It has a well- organized and, in general, competent civil administration. But it has a massive unemployment problem and badly needs capital and technical assistance for development. Canada has had long and friendly trade relations with the island. We're a little strapped ourselves at the moment, but Canadians should do everything they can to help this new country and old friend to improve its condition. Dangerous ieaves the swimmer with no support at all. Non-swimmers should never use any type of artificial float without supervision. On inner tubes or any other device, a bather could easily float into deep water and get into serious trouble. Only approved life preservers or floats should be used, and then only when non-swimmers can be properly supervised. Other Editors' Views WITHOUT PROOF (Hamilton Spectator) Dr. Gordon C. Ring, of the centre for study of cellular aging at the University of Miami, says that there is no proof to the theory that exer- cise will help prolong the lifespan. In fact, he says, the opposite can be shown to be true. That sigh of relief you heard could have come from the throats of a lot of men who spent most. of the winter thinking of ways to convince the better halves that spring cleanup campaigns are for the birds. STOP QUIVERING ! (Detroit Free Press) For a second time, United States nuclear experimenters have failed to -bring off a blast hundreds of miles up in the Pacific sky. This has set Wash- ington's Nervous Nellie element to shuddering over the propaganda Mr. Khrushchev may make out of the duds. Nothing can be more futile than worrying over Mr. K's propaganda gambits. He works from whole cloth. Meanwhile all that these fretters do is make the United States look timid in the presence of mere noise. X INTERNATIONAL TV WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Judge Attacks Finance Company's Use Of Laws EDMONTON JOURNAL: Judge Bruce Fraser of the Brit- ish Columbia County Court at New Westminster has added his voice to those of other judges who have criticized certain fi- mance companies for trying to hide behind the law. In this case, a finance com- pany lost its suit against a couple who had bought a vacuum cleaner for $248 plus $46 interest and a $3 "registration fee". The court found the vacuum cleaner was worth $70. The couple returned the vacuum cleaner the day after buying it, but later received a dunning letter from a finance company which had taken over the sales contract. Judge Fraser criticized the close relationship between the selling hy and the fi company. He said more and more cases were coming before the courts with fi com- can Journal of Psychology showed that a great deal of noise, during a 19-minute work period, resulted in an energy expenditure that was greater than normal by 60 per cent. Liberty Mutual studies in in- dustrial noise, conducted as part of its "protection-in-depth"' service, have also brought to light ways to combat compens- able loss of hearing suffered by employees of policyholders. For example: Cc y s develop procedures for reducing the noise level of chipping ham- mers used for stripping in the paper box industry. They rec- ommended that exhaust air as well as exhaust noise be trans- ported through an exhaust hose to be a remote stationary muf- fler. They also advised a sub- stitute chisel constructed of ma- terial having a lower ringing panies attempting to hide behind the Bills of Exchange Act. The judge said that all parties must act in good faith in a busi- ness transaction. The Bills of Exchange Act, he said, is being used for purposes never intend- ed. The British Columbia case has had countless parallels across Canada. Judge Fraser suggested that a simple amendment to the act would remedy the situation. He should have no hesitation forwarding a specific recom- mendation to the appropriate authorities: It would be parlia- ment's duty to act upon it. WELLAND TRIBUNE: Jerry Hulbert is a chimney cleaner in Milwaukee and four weeks ago he found eight raccoons in one of the smoke stacks needing his administrations. He gave three of them away and retained one, which he named 'Gentleman Jim". Then Jerry learned that a four - year - old little Milwaukee girl was unconsolable because a stranger had kidnapped her pet raccoon. He gave her "Gentle- man Jim". All this got to the ears of the game warden, who called on Jerry and told him he would be fined from $25 to $100. It was explained that he had to have a special licence to '"'catch" the coons in the first place. A conservation officer got in touch with the little girl's par- ents and nicked them $3.75 for a "fur farm" licence; 20c for a "fur farm" sign that must be displayed and $5 state levy for "buying" the raccoon. The law is that only the state, which pro- tects live animals, could "sell" th @ raccoon. Hulbert had been notified that he must also pay $3.75 and $7 for the other seven raccoons he had in the first place. Certainly some comment is called for at the end of this little vignette, but what we'd like to say wouldn't look good in print. WOODSTOCK 6SENTINEL- 'REVIEW: Noise is another big fatigue producer. An experi- ment described in the Ameri- freq' ry than the steel chisel normally supplied. Other studies on the expendi- ture of energy have revealed: It does not always take less energy to do a job sitting down rather than standing up. Sitting often consumes more energy by confining mobiility and re- quiring a maximum of body trunk twist. When a job is short, the energy consumed by sitting down and then standing up again, often exceeds the small amount of energy saved by sitting. It is not always wise to "save energy" by getting a job done as quickly as possible. A worker can lift 40 pounds twice with less effort than it required to lift 80 pounds once. Among people who do paper- work, increasing the level of illumination does not necessar- ily increase efficiency or de- crease energy expenditure. Too much illumination can cause as much fatigue as too little. GUELPH MERCURY -- The motoring public are no doubt interested in the move being made by Attorney - General Kelsc Roberts to appeal the ruling of a Brampton magis- trate that a member of the Canadian Armed Forces was not subject to the Ontario High- way Traffic Act while he was driving an army vehicle. We believe that the public deserves to be protected by the Traffic Act at all times, re- gardless whether the vehicle is being operated by any citizen, or by a member of the Cana- dian Army. . In acquitting the soldier the Brampton magistrate said that e d was not subject to the 'Iraffic Act while he was driving an army vehicle under orders from a superior officer. Perhaps: such a ruling might apply during a time of war, but in peacetime we cannot believe that any b of and that the Act concerning the offence needs some revising. HAMILTON SPECTATOR: One of the most repulsive sights one sees these otherwise lovely summer days is the empty beer bottle resting like a vulgar re- minder of civilization, circa 1962, beside our highways. Oc- casionally, one sees the odd pop bottle, too, but not often, as soft drink consumers just don't seem to have as much false courage as beer drinkers. eople who throw bottles and other undrinkable, unedible, and unsmokeable objects out of car windows are, in the language of discretion, litterbugs. We sup- pose that's as good a name as any for these unspeakably empty-headed individuals, but we can think of a few more apt ones which would better. express our feelings of disgust when we gaze upon the mess left behind by these irresponsible and self- ish pleasure-seekers. WINDSOR STAR: This is sup- posed to be an affluent society compared to earlier days. But one wonders about this when he compares most homes being built today with the big old homes erected in the yester- years. This perhaps is most apparent in rural Ontario. One is con- stantly amazed, driving through the Ontario countryside, at the large proportion of farm homes which are large and well-built, most of them still sound though often they were erected 75 years or more ago. Compared to the modern two or three-bedroom homes with a combined living room and din- ing area, these big homes have five, six or more bedrooms, plus a parlor, dining room, big kit- chen and often a summer kit- chen. They are spacious homes, built in spacious days. The rooms themselves are large, even too large by modern stand- ards. One can guess at the quality of the soil by the size and structure of the home on it.. A substantial house almost al- ways denotes rich, well-tended soil. It must represent quite a chal- lenge to a young married couple to move into a home with six bedrooms -- designed for a family of 10 or more. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM You had better be particular- ly careful when dealing with a man who talks a lot or a wo- man who has very little to say. Now and then one sees on the beaches a girl in a swim suit that she would outgrow if she gained 12 ounces. UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Beaver Steps Up Attack On Macmillan, Euromart By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) _ Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The Daily Ex- press has expanded its vendetta against the government on the question of entry into the Euro- pean Common Market. In its news and editorial columns, it is directing its fire more and more strongly against Prime Minster Macmillan himself. Because the prime minjster delegated to his deputy, R. A. Butler, the task of presiding at a cabinet meeting. The Daily Express took this as the text for speculation as to the future of Mr. Macmillan. One of the rea- sons for the appointment of Mr. Butler as deputy prime minister was to relieve Mr. Macmillan of some of his burdens. It was made known that from time to time Mr. Butler would preside at cabinet meetings if there was no business which required the personal attention of the prime minister. This sounded logical, but the reins to him formally in the coming months. From no other source, how- ever, did there come any sug. gestion that this was the case, While the Gallup and other pub. lic opinion polls show an in- crease in the percentage of peo- ple dissatisfied with Mr. Mac. millan as prime Daily Express seized on it as pecting his ground for speculation that Mr. Macmillan was helping Mr. But- > ler to "play himself in" as a preface to handing over the YOUR HEALTH Low Blood Count Causes Are Many By Joseph G. Molner, MD "Dear Dr. Molner: My daugh- ter-in-law has a very low blood count. She has had transfusions, and is taking iron shots every other day but this is expensive. Is there any new treatment? Any diet? She is only in her late 20's.--Mrs. J.E.M." There is nothing especially "new" in treatment, Anemia, or a low red blood cell count, can result either from loss of blood itself or from something that destroys or in- x terferes. with the formation of new red cells. It is imperative to find out the cause of a'serious case; other- wise you waste time and money treating the wrong thing. In a young woman one looks first for blood loss--frequent or heavy menstrual periods; some- times a subtle loss, perhaps 'ittle noticed by the patient, such as hemorrhoids, or even an ulcer. Obviously the answer is to stop or control the bleeding, and the anemia then corrects itself. Underactive thyroid function- ing is often associated with anemia; in such a case thyroid medication is effective. Chronic infection can cause anemia; so can lead (or other metal) poisoning; sometimes fumes such as are found in cer. tain cleaning compounds. Para- sitic infestation (a type of fish worm, tapeworm or the like) sometimes is the cause, and is stubborn to correct. Pernicious anemia, once deadly but no longer so, is rare in persons in their 20s; it is seen more often after 40. Periodic in- jections of Vitamin B12 are the answer, and the patient can be taught to give them, just as dia. betics administer insulin shots to themselves. Tron injections are usually re- served 'for patients who cannot tolerate iron in pill form -- the pills are low in cost but .occa- sionally they irritate the diges- tive tract. tn Transfusions are sometimes needed, of course, but are not a. cure, any more than you can re- pair a leaky tub by constantly refilling it. Fix the leak! As to diet, people who eat lots of starchy foods at the expense of getting enough meat and vegetables, tend toward anemia. bal d diet is y. Keep in mind that the all-im- portant step in correcting a seri- ous anemia is thorough, expert diagnosis of the trouble. "Dear Dr. Molner: My small son is to have heart catheteriza- tion. The doctor told me he will feel no pain except where they insert the tube. I can hardly be- lieve this.--Mrs, W.D." The tiny tube is inserted in a vein, then 'slid up the arm and into the chest until it enters the heart. Since there are no sen- sory nerves along the vein, he will not feel any pain, any more than you ever feel the blood as it flows through a vein. There will be slight discomfort only where the skin is cut to start the tube. "Dear Dr. Moiner: I am a boy who has a bed-wetting prob- lem. Next month I am to go on a three-day trip and I wonder what I can do to stop before then.--C.J." Recently a group of doctors found, after some studies, that if a person holds water until abso- lutely necessary to release it, this tends to stretch the bladder and in time permit it to hold more. Maybe this can help somewhat before your trip, but it will take longer for full re- sults. Meantime try cutting down on liquids after 6 p.m. BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO More than 100 acres of soy beans were under cultivation at the Jeffery Brothers farm, near Whitby. J. C.. Ross and Capt. J. Ewart MacKay, of Toronto, purchased the Reformer Print- ing and publishing Company, Limited, from Charles M. Mun- day and Associates, with the takeover becoming effective September 1. Forty members of the On- tario Bread and Cake.nakers' Association gathered for their monthly meeting at Oshawa: The members also made an inspection tour of D. M. Tod's Bakery. The Oshawa Railway Com- pany inaugurated the pay-as- you-enter system in six street cars operating from Lakeview Park to the Grand Trunk depot. Special fare boxes were installed in the cars and pas- sengers were instructed to enter by the rear door and exit by the front. E. C. Hodgins, manager of the Oshawa Branch of the Standard Bank, was granted a leave of absence because of ill- health. C. T. Batty, account- ant at the bank, was named acting manager. More than 700 persons attend- ed the St. George's Anglican Church annual Sunday School picnic at Lakeview Park, which was a record attendance. Large fresh cucumbers were offered at the Oshawa market at the record low price of one cent each. Fifteen cases of scarlet fever the armed forces should be al- lowed to break one of our civil laws, without paying the penalty.

BLUNT DENIAL The extent to which the ; Express is slanting its news col- umns in its campai| against the Common Market is further shown in a foreign office state- ment issued after a story had appeared in the Express, ing Edward Heath as that he did not think Britain would ever get into the Common Market. The Foreign Office statement says: "The Lord Privy Seal £ Heath) has read a report Mad day's Daily Express under the heading 'Heath Wonders, Shall We Get In?'. It quotes the Lord Privy Seal as having said at a private meeting that he did not think Britain is ever going to get into the Common Market. It also quotes him as having said, apparently with reference to the other members of the European Free le agreement that 'there has been no budge in their positions and at the mo- ment it looks as if we are never going to get in'. "These reports are absolutely untrue. "The Lord Privy Seal made no sueh statement nor does he hold any such views. The rest of the article is also misleading and inaccurate." The Express, however, did not accept the denial with good grace, It made the vague com- ment that MP's were astonished that the foreign office, a depart. ment of state, should be used in this way to pronounce on the proceedings of a Tory Party committee. It conveniently ig. nores the fact that Mr. Heath, in addition to being Lord Privy Seal, is also the House of Com- mons spokesman for the Foreign Office. STILL AT ODDS : President de Gaulle of France and Chancellor Adenauer are not going to be able to rush through measures of European political union before a decision is reached on Britain's entry into the Common Market. To do so would require an unanimous vote of the six Common Market countries. In spite of pressures placed upon them, © however, Belgium and the Netherlands are blocking the plans of the French and German heads of state. Mr. Spaak and Mr. Luns, the Belgian and Dutch foreign ministers, have re-affirmed their agreement that Britain should not be faced with a ready-made European political union which she would have to - accept or reject. Mr. Spaak felt there should be consultations with Britain on the subject while. the Common Market ne- gotiations are proceeding, but only when the position of the i had b clear ensure Britain's negoti enough entry. The fact that Belgium and the Netherlands are still determined to block the political union plans on which de Gaulle and Adenauer seem to have agreed is not received with good grace in Paris and Bonn, because un- less and until there is a change of heart on the part of these two countries, no concrete pro- gress can be made with the de Gaulle-Adenauer proposals. to PLASTIC FOR LIFT LONDON (CP)--The bascules of Tower Bridge--the sections that lift to let ships pass--are in need of repair.
