Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1963--PAGE 6 Canada Council Could Profit From Lottery * The Canada Council is cutting some of its grants because, as Council chairman D. B. Weldon gays, "we need more money." The Council's reserve fund of $700,000 'has been virtually exhausted. Grants to orchestras are down by $40,000 from last year's $233,000, and grants to the theatre have been 1reduced by $25,000. The money for the Canada Coun- cil was provided in two lump sums of $50 million apiece by the federal government seven years ago. One sum was to be used for grants to universities, the other to be used for aid to the arts and the human- itfes. The university fund is in good shape, having earned, at last ac- counting, $14.3 million in interest and profit since its inception. It is the other fund which is in bad shape. Some donations have been made to the Canada Council, including 'one anonymous gift of $4.26 million last year, and some grants from provinces -- Ontario and Quebec in particular. But these gifts have been insufficient. Now various money-raising pro- posals are being made. One news- paper has suggested that two or three per cent of the money the federal government receives annu- ally from succession taxes be allo- cated to the Council. This would provide an annual income of be- tween $2% million to $3% million. Another newspaper wonders if up to 50 per cent of amusement taxes collected by governments should not be given to the Council each year, the argument being that at least some of the tax money raised f entertainment enterprises shou used to subsidize the arts, an burgeoning culture could ultimately pay its own expenses if amusement taxes were used to bolster the Council funds. What cannot be done, under pre- sent circumstances, is to increase taxes to provide the Council with more money. x There is increasing public pres- sure for government - supervised lotteries. Would not this be a sweepstak® situation? The lottery device would undoubtedly provide the Council with more money than would be either the succession or amusement taxes. Unique Glacier Record' : Next Saturday a rather unusual historical plaque will be unveiled in Metro Toronto's Scarborough Bluffs Park. It will commemorate not a person or single event, but the history of the Bluffs them- selves. People of this district will "be interested, because the lower bluffs which rise in places from Lake Ontario between here and Toronto share some of the Scar- "borough history. During the Pleistocene epoch, ice several times covered this area, to varying depths up to 10,000 feet. 'There were four main stages of glacial advance and withdrawal, but no trace cai be found in this vicinity of the Nebraskan and Kansan 'stages, their remains having been oblitered by their successors. Traces are found of the Illinoian glaciation, "the retreat of which was followed by an interval whose climate was warmer than today's. During this .,interval the fossil-bearing sands of > the "Don Beds" were deposited by river action. Ghe final stage, the Wisconsinan =gtarted about 70,000 years ago. There was a tenative advance by Commodity ' International commodity agree- "ments are designed to stabilize fworld markets, and as a major im- "porter and exporter, Canada has 'always taken a strong and active "interest in them. As an exporter, for example, Canada participates in the International Wheat Agreement and in the studies on grants, lead, zinc and, rubber' As an importer, Canada takes part in the sugar, coffee and tin agreements, and in Ahe study groups on cocoa, wool and "eotton. = The agreements use various me- _ chanisms.

The ice retreated, the lake level dropped, and 1:ver action carved the delta into valleys; one of these, about a mile wide, may be traced in cross-section in the Bluffs. Then, about 55,000 years ago, the glacier returned and this time covered the Toronto-Oshawa area, filling up the river valleys with boulder clay and later deposit- ing about 20 feet of the same ma- terial above the former delta as it melted. Three times more the ice advanced and retreated, each time adding a layer of boulder clay to previous deposits. Thus the bluffs, which in places reach 350 feet in height, provide a visual record of the Wisconsinan glaciation. They are unique on this continent and attract scientists from all over the world. Agreements guarantees are only operative when the price of wheat reaches the maximum or minimum level of an agreed range. The Sugar and Coffee Agreements use export quotas to control fluctuations -- not too suc- cessfully in the case of sugar, on the evidence of recent experience. The Tin Agreement relies on butfer stock, which is accumulated in times of large supplies and downward pressure on prices, and put on the market when demand is high and prices tend to rise, In a-,study made by economist Dr. William E. Haviland for the Canadian Trade Committee of the Private Planning Association of Canada, control production is iden- tified 'as "probably the most diffi- cult problem in stabilization." Pro- ducers are concerned about the ten- dency to over-production which de- presses their markets, "but have not always selected ways of dealing with this problem which tackle the fundamental sources of instability." That, of course, is.a massive un- derstatement. Canadian, American and European experience with agri- cultural'production provides a 'ong history of the difficultiés-.of pro- duction control when artificial means are used in attempts to boost or discourage production, or to provide producers with higher domestic prices for their products than. the domestic demand for those products warrant, : > Ls oe Lee mi CH, a ul ' + deat Se ~ DISENCHANTED REPORT FROM U.K. Two Plants Build Potent New Tank By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON Britain's new tank, the Chieftain, declared by war office authorities to be superior to any other tank in the world, is. now under full production at two English plants. One production line is in operation at the Royal Ord- YOUR HEALTH. nance Factory, a government- operated plant, at Leeds. The other is at the Vickers-Arm- strong factory Newcastle upon Tyne. ~ By 1965, according to the pres- ent schedule, the British Army on the Rhine will be equipped with significant numbers 'of these tanks. And it is the hope of the government that it will by then have been adopted as at Gland Infection, Mumps Different By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Doctor: Is there a dif- ference between mumps and swollen. glands? is treatment the same? Are they both con- tagious? Is it an old wives' tale that it hurts to drink orange juice with the 'mumps and not with swollen glands?--MRS, CN Yes, there's a_ difference, With "swollen glands," we usu- ally mean the lymph nodes, or glands, and the swelling is gen- erally due to infection in the neck area--sore throat, for one. These glands are in the side of the neck. Mumps, on the other hand, is the result of a specific virus which affects the parotid or salivary glands located forward of the ears, at the angle of tie jaw. Since causes are different, so is treatment. For swollen glands, ti may be antibiotics, or removal of infected tonsils. For mumps, there is no speci- fic treatment except to guard against complications, and to get rest and let nature drive off the virus. It is true that anything sour will aggravate the pain. of mumps, so the orange @ juice is not an old wives' tale. Some- times eating a sour pickle can givea pretty good indication that mumps is present. The pain will not be the same with swollen glands, although sometimes the mere act of swallowing can be painful. This should not be confused with tne pain that a sour substance causes in mumps. Dear Dr. Moiner: 1 had two patches of rash from shingles in the sciatic nerve but thought they would go away in a couple of weeks, so I waited that long before going to a doctor. It has been eight weeks now and the rash is almost gone but the soreness hasn't left the nerve, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS The Third French Repub- lic was proclaimed 93 years ago today--in 1870--follow- ing the capture of Napoleon Ill during the Franco-Prus- sian War. With the fall of the empire in France a gov- ernment of national defence tried to continue the war with Germany but the fol- lowing year France capitu- lated. The Third Republic was definitely inaugurated by decree in Jan. 1875 which organized the repub- lic under what was called the Constitution of 1875. 1909--The first Boy Scout rally was held in England. 1907.--- Composer Edvard Grieg died, it I hope other people don't ne- glect going to the doctor as long as I did--MRS, EEW It is characteristic of shingles in any location for the pain and soreness to linger well after the rash has disappeared. Dear Dr. Molner: For migrane headaches I have been taking pills containing, among other things, phenacetin but I feel they are no good for my heart. My family doesn't consider my headaches migraines. they claim I'm neurotic, Our family doctor didn't treat me for the headaches. He sug- gested that I try a new drug to see whether it. would work for me. He didn't say what drug, and I didn't consent to try it. Should I have done so?-- MRS, FD The 'drug you are taking should be used in moderation. It not only stimulates the heart but contains one ingredient that may produce kidney trouble if taken to excess. Other drugs have been suc- cessful in easing or preventing migraines, so doubtless it is one of these that your aloctor sug- gested trying. Follow his ad- vice. You will be safer--and will probably make more pro- gress--than in trying to treat yourself. Tensions, whether neurotic or not, often trigger migraine at- tacks, so depend on your doc- tor rather than on your family for diagnosis. GALLUP POLL My SS "Me standard. equipment by the armored forces of the other NATO. Countries. Belgium, Can- ada, Holland, Sweden, Switzer- land and to some extent West Germany, are already showing interest in it. The Chieftains are to be sent to West Germany for evaluation next winter in ex- change for two of the new tanks which are being pro- duced there, MINISTER DELIGHTED After attending a demonstra- tion of the Chieftain tank at Chobham, in Surrey, Minister of War Godber said: "In Chieftain we have a win- ner, It meets all NATO re- quirements .for the 1970s, and there is not another tank in any of the countries in the alliance that does this." The Chieftain, when in serv- ice, will be Britain's main battle tank. It will take over that role in place of the°52-ton Centurion and the 70-ton Con- queror tanks with which dhe British army is now equipped. It is stated authoritatively that production lines can be stepped up so that foreign orders will not affect the rate at which British armored regiments will be equipped. Russia is reported to be de- veloping a tank of somewhat similar performance ratings to the Chieftain. Because of this, even if the NATO allies do not adopt the Chieftain as their main tank, it is felt that they will re- quire to have some of them in every armored unit, in the same way as British tank units have the large Conqueror. HEAVILY ARMORED Fully loaded, the Chieftain weighs just over 50 tons. It has 'as great battlefield agility and strategic mobility as the other new lighter tanks, It is heavily- armored, and mounts an infra- red searchlight for illuminating Giz" in darkness or poor visi- lity. The outstanding feature of the Chieftain is the new 120 mm gun which is effective at ranges outside of those of any other gun in service or being develop- ed by any of the other NATO countries. Stabilizers enable it to be fired on the move, The rate of fire is more than eight rounds a minute. This is more than is needed in battle. The gun is uncannily accurate and fires armor-piercing ammunition as well as high-explosive squash- head rounds, Officially, it is felt that the Chieftain may be the last word in the development of tanks along their present lines, It is very likely that some new and revolutionary designs will come into being and be placed in service about the late 1970s. Drive Against Smoking Would Not Be Popular By THE CAN. INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) In a series of questions on the possible connection between cigaret smoking and lung can- cer, the Gallup Poll has estab- lished that the Canadian people are well aware of the reported dangers of smoking, Although a whopping major- ity of them, 96 per cent, know of the warnings about cancer of the lungs from smoking, they do not want any Government interference in the form of an anti-smoking campaign. NATIONAL ..... ecenceccccons Heavy smokers «+.... .

If he were alive to- day, he would change his fa- mous dictum, to predict: "The second half of the 20th century will be the age of the ma- chine." That machine could confer great benefits upon mankind. It could bring material plenty to many, prosperity to the world, and food to the hungry. But it could also take away your job and mine. More espe. cially, it could destroy the job which we hope your children and mine will grow up to fill. What is the prime problem WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Guelph Mercury: The. text- book befuddlement will soon be with parents again. The con- fusing item will be, What teachers will use what text- books and where? The cost per student in secondary schools may be 35 to 40 dollars per Ppupit, no small amount for families with several children at school. The Department of Educa- tion, for the schools of the prov- ince has approved more than 400 texts on about 30 subjects. This list does not include texts for plays in the English courses, and it is here, that much dis- satisfaction occurs since one teacher uses one, and another a different one, with the result books often cannot be passed down or may be of no use if there js a change of schools. The city of Toronto has ruled that pupils may use any edi- tion of a prescribed text, and the teacher cannot demand, a certain edition. After all Shake- speare has been dead a long time and his plays have re- mained the same. It has been that many teachers did not make up their minds until the last minute what they would use so book stores could not order, and being often out of print, the supply might not be available until Christmas. a book store cannot be expected to stock editions that may be left on their shelves. A Board of Education, for its area is required to approve of the books that will be used in its schools, which should be done with the advice of Princi- Pals and Supervisors in consul- tation with teachers but it would seem that this has not always 'been the case. Developing confusion and ab- surd situations make things difficult for everyone. If boards were required to purchase the books on a rental system there would be less waste of oney and it would be easier on the parents, No private firm would ever waste money by useless duplication, and the Depart- ment of Education can easily be criticized for some of the poor books they list in their approvals. The Ontario Association of Mayors and Reeves has sought theans to eliminate some of this confusion and it is to be hoped that Boards of Education, super- intendents and Principals will! get together and~have uniform good texts available when schools: open and work out some system whereby the financial burden will not fail, - where so often it cannot be afforded. we face today? "Unemploy- ment," you might reply. "The spectre of even greater unem- ployment," I would correct you. Harold Wilson, the leader of the Labor party in Britain, re- cently declared that 10,000,000 new jobs would have to be created in Britain within the next decade. As the man who has reason to expect to become prime mimister of Britain within the year, he is conscious of that immense problem which will face hs government: to create 10,000,000 new jobs for a labor force which today totals 25,000,. 000 workers. WORK--AT WHAT? In the United States, jhe un- dersecretary of labor John Henning, has asserted that his country must provide 36,000,000 new jobs by 1970 if there is to be mo increase in the present total of 4,000,000 unemployed, peal of a work force of 72,000,. We have not heard any whis- per of our similar problem from Canada's minister of labor, ei- ther Mike Starr, who vacated that office when the Tory gov- ernment fell this spring, or Al- lan MacEachen, his Liberal successor. ' In fact, this serious problem has not been seriously discussed at all in our House of Commons. This signal and serious ommis- sion underlines the criticism re. cently made by guest columnist Pauline Jewett writing in this column. Dr, Jewett, now Lib- eral MP for Northumberland, w.s previously professor of po- litical science at Carleton Uni- versity in Ottawa, Her observation and exper- ience. during her first two months as an MP led her to write tis damning indictment of our politicul leaders: "My 'strongest impression of the House of Commons is that it is not the great form for de- bate.that it surely ought to be. There has been very little really thoughtful penetrating or informed discussion of- the-im- portant issues that face Can- ada. Most MPs, even leading ones, seem unwilling or unable to discuss im depth the great issues of the day." JOBS GREAT WORRY The greatest issue of the day for the average voter is simply this: Based upon the predic- tions made by thoughtful and informed leaders in Britain and - in the U.S., and in the absence of any similar face-the-facts pronouncement from Ottawa, I estimate that Canada must pro- vide the staggering total of be. tween 2,500,000 and 3,000,000 new .jobs by 1970. That frightening necessity is four or five times as many new jobs as haye been created in Camada during the last seven years. But while Ottawa sleeps, Tor- onto is fortunately alert to this menacing problem, Ontario's Conservative - gov- ernment under Premier John Robarts is tackling this prob- lem head-on, as befits our most highly imdustrialized province. A conference on Automation and Social Change has been summoned to meet in Toronto Sept. 17-19. * Hon. Leslie Rowntree, On. tario's far-seeing and hard-driv- ing young minister of labor, has described to me the steps which his government is taking to explore and counter this threat, and to turn it to our advantage. Mr. Rowntree will be accom- panied by Hon. Bob Macaulay, minister of economics and de- velopment, and Hon. William Davis, minister of education, in the planning and follow-up of this important exploration by government, management and labor--the first such conference to be staged anywhere in North America. READERS' VIEWS SPEED LIMITS Dear Sir: In reference to a certain Mr. Andrew Henry Glecoff's letter, printed August 30th. Just who does this man think he is? Isyhe an authority on traffic control, or is he a father of small children, who play in- nocently near our city streets? It seems the only complain- ants about our 30-mile speed limits are the constant offend- ers. What do the residents of Ritson road, Simcoe street, Park road, Wentworth street, etc, have to say about Mr. Gle- coff's suggestion of a raised speed limit in these areas? Are they 'also against the "'uniform- ed highwaymen hiding in the bushes and pouncing on the (I hate to repeat the expression) unwary motorist", or do they appreciate the fact that they are there to protect their lives and the lives of their youngsters Mr. Glecoff, would you also complain if the people whom you "clothe and feed" were to lay a charge against another taxpayer who stole $30 worth of PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "Do-gooders" is a derogatory term applied to those who want to do good with other people's money, x Most people get an enormous « kick out of doing something they can't afford, That's why so many people are enjoying liv- ing more than ever before.

What do the other 62,998 have to say about this so-called ridicu- lous situation J. A. REARDON. Oshawa MORE ON SPEED Dear Sir: That the number of speeders has increased since the advent of sandwich-board-sign law en- forcement -- uniformed police- men driving up and down in gaudily marked cars suggesting "here we come, behave your self, there we go, carry on" -- cannot be denied. But to suggest that the majority are speeders is not correct. The Oshawa motorist who wants to raise the speed limits has only to drive at the posted limit and observe the number of motorists he passes enjoying their cars, They will far out- number the speeders who come panting up behind him trying to satiate their egotistical need to be first, There are often complaints of @ police car tiavelling at 60 mph leading a parade down the highway. If the members of the parade had been travelling 60 mph they could never have overtaken this police car, and would be spread evenly over the highway. There are other physical restriction: along a highway due to topography and road design, and traffic could flow past these ints, but speeders make it similar to a group of people all trying to go rlogaa a doorway at the same me, Parents teach their children not to be rude or cheat or steal, but I.am sure many of these children must be confused when Dad and Mom take them driv- ing in the family car, How about it Dad?
