Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1963---PAGE 6 "More Thought Required. -On Depressed Area Plan The federal government is ob- viously right in trying to help the 35 areas which have been named as areas badly in need of special measures to boost employment. Among the Ontario centres listed are Brantford, Chatham, Cornwall, Pembroke, Timmins and Windsor. But the method of assistance plan- ned by the government is ill-con- ceived; it has been borrowed from the previous Conservative adminis- tration, and it does not stand close examination now than it did when Mr. Diefenbaker proposed it. The method employs tax conces- sions and grants for winter works. New industries locating in the de- signated areas will have accelerated depreciation on buildings, two-year depreciation on equipment, and a three-year holiday from corpora- tion income tax. What does this do to other com- munities, most of which employ industria] commissioners and go to a great deal of trouble to compete for new industry? Obviously, it places them at a great disadvan- tage. And they may be more pros- perous simply because they are more aggressive and progressive. What if established industries move from present locatiéns to the depressed areas to take advantage of the tax concessions? Industry Minister C. M. Drury says that this might not be considered an undesirable result. But it would be simply shifting*unemployment from one area to another. Labor unions- are already perturbed by the re- location of industry. The scheme also fails to consider the mobility of labor. Highly competitive factors are involved in the location of industry. These factors range from economic considerations transportation links, labor supply, sources of materials and so on -- to the broad question of social climate -- muni- cipal attitudes, educational facili- ties, crime records, labor attitudes and so on. These factors should be inten- sively studied by both federal and provincial authorities. From such a study could come a soundly-based plan for assistance to depressed areas, -More Hard-Sell Okayed The Board of Broadcast Gov- ernors has given the brewing in- dustry the okay for a full minute of hard-sell promotion of beer and wine in radio and television com- mercials. The new regulations. effective, Jan. 1, 1964, will replace the existing rules which restrict the commercials to 12 seconds of hard- sel] in which the product is iden- tified and 48 seconds of non-adver- tising fill material. It remains to be seen whether or ~ not the change will be an improve- ~ hypocritical = 'ment. Carlyle Allison, BBG vice- chairman, told reporters that the board's purpose is "to take the approach out of - brewery advertising', He defined this as the elimination of "sequences - in which young men and women are pictured in happy scene prior to the brewery commercial,' and added, 'It is our view that a straight no-nonsense ad is preferable." We might add that almost any- thing -would be preferable to the type of television commercial being used by Canadian brewers on Cana4 dian stations and on U.S. stations which have large Canadian audien- ces, It's not the silliness of these commercials that we object to, but their disregard of good judgment. In one, for example, a boat and water skier are shown whirling close to a dock area, and the people involved: are then. shown ready for "relaxation", presumably with the sponsor's product; there are at least two violations of safety regu- lations shown in the sequence, In another, the scene is an outdoor picnic, and again we can only sup- pose that the jolly games will. end when the participants get thirsty enough to drink beer -- which would be drinking in a public place, of course; a somewhat similar com- mercial shows a gay party at a wiener roast. We wonder, too, if there is any connection between this sort of fill-in material and the discarding of beer bottles in lakes, rivers, along streams and at beauty spots.' Television will be well rid of such nonsense. Strength In Business The trend of Canadian businesago far this year has been distinctly "encouraging, and the latest monthly review of the Bank of Nova Scotia notes that in late summer the economy was still moving ahead with a degree of momentum which should persist for at least several - months to come. There have been some unsettling developments in the financial sphere. Finance Minister Gordon managed to get the business world in a fine tizzy beforé backing away : from his budget, President Ken- nedy stepped in with his proposed tax on foreign investment and there ; are always the underlying difficul- ties in the U.S. balance of pay- * ments.

Spur- red on by this strength, construc- tion activity is proving more bigor- ous than had been expected at the beginning of the year. The market for automobiles has continued to boom and domestic output this year has run ahead of last year's record by more than 20 per cent. Primary iron and steel mills have been stretching capacity to the limit. In other consumer durable items, good production gains have been en- couraged by the strength in apart- ment building and by some displace- ment of imports. Helped by higher farm incomes in both the United States and Canada, production of farm machinery has shown a marked recovery. Output of heavy -electrical equipment has been 'no- tably higher, and after some years of contraction, employment at air- craft plants has been improving.

The Ostyoron Times IT'S ALL A MATT ----" REPORT FROM UX. Second TV Channel~' Costly To Viewers By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The advent of a second channel allotted to the British Broadcasting Corpora- tion for television is going to cost British television viewers a lot of money, it has been dis- closed. The present television service is transmitted on the 405-line system, and the great majority of the television sets in Britain have been made to carry only the 405 programs, But when the YOUR HEALTH second channel is . started, it will be broadcast on the contin- ental 625-line system, and this creates an expensive problem for the viewers whose sets can- not even be converted to take the new television pattern. This problem came up for discussion at a conference call- ed by the British Radio Equip- ment Manufacturers' Associa- tion, They came to the conclu- sion that four out of every five television viewers in: Britain will have to buy new television sets if they want to see the pro- Le on the new.second chan- nel, Allergy Possible Cause Of Dripping By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: What causes my nose to be forever dripping in a watery fashiond Nose drops help a little but not much. What can I do, if any- thing?--MRS. AH It could be an allergy, If this condition is mostly in the morn- ing (or during the night), then Suspect something related to bedtime. Some people are aller- gic to the feathers in a pillow and find relief by switching to a foam-rubber pillow. (or vice versa.) Or you may be sensitive to some cosmetic. Do you habit- ually use a cream on your face when you go to bed? If so, try omitting ¢t for a few nights and seé if that makes a difference. If the. drip is an all-day prob- lem, watch carefully to see if there are certain days when it does not trouble you. Then you may be able to figure out what is different about those days-- what you did not touch or use or smell that you usually do, Some defect in the nose "(polyps, or a crooked septum) could be a factor, preventing the normal, mild, watery fluids from draining into the throat as they should. It is quite possible for drainage to be normal dur- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 12, 193 . . . A daring raid by German paratroopers rescued Be- nito Mussolini from a clinic near Aquila, Italy, 20 years ago--in 1943--after he was taken into custody when forced to resign as dictator of Italy. Mussolini was taken to Germany to rally Italian fascist resistance against the Allied armies in Italy and returned to set up a puppet government in the north of his country, But anti-fascist partisans cap- tured him as he attempted to. flee, with the gradual defeat of the German armies pressing on. Mus- solini was executed by the partisans and his corpse hung in public display in Milan. 1819 -- Field - Blucher died. 1362 -- Pope Innocent VI died. Marshal % ing the day, when you are standing or sitting, yet to have trouble at night when you are lying down. An examination of the nose would, probably, disclose such a condition very readily. Dear Dr. Molner: This is just a short thank-you note. I read the letter from a person who complained of itching, and you told him not to brush it off too lightly because at times it can be a sign of diabetes. * My husband has had an itch for two years and was advised to use talcum, as it might be from perspiration. However, I sent him to a doctor' and tests showed diabetes. I'm sure he will find relief just knowing he is being treated properly.--SB. Yes, treating the diabetes will relieve the itching and, of course, will guard him against more serious consequences of the disorder. Every little itch doesn't mean diabetes, but when it continues and has no other explanation, diabetes should be suspected. ER OF BALANCE' The second BBC channel is timed to start in April of 1964. But only television sets which have been manufactured within the last two years are capable of conversion so that they can receive the 625-line picture which will be shown on it. The Association, after its meeting, gave out the warning, "If you bought a set prior to 1961 it cannot be converted to the 625-line system at any price." Since 1961, the manu- facturers have been producing sets which are known as "'con- vertibles", With the addition of a compact part, it will be pos- sible to receive the second chan- nel programs on them, At the conference, a piece of transistorized equipment which can be inserted in the convert- ible sets was shown, This piece of equipment, how- ever, will cost in the neighbor- hood of $47, and with purchase tax and labor costs added, it may cost as much as $60 to have a set converted. Only a few sets have been produced recently designed fully for dual reception of either 405-line or 625-line programs. But as the second channel will be on an Ultra High Frequency, it will be necessary for the viewer to instal a UHF aerial, the cost of which will vary ac- cording to the location of the receiving set. 2,400,000 IN LONDON In the Greater London area alone there are approximately three million television receiv- ers, At a rough estimate, about 2,400,000 of them are incapable of being converted to receive programs from BBC 2, If they wish to tune in on both BBC channels, these viewers will have to buy new sets, and the dual-type sets are priced at around $225 for a 19-inch screen, or about $20 more than the old 405-line receivers. This leaves the BBC in a quandary, as it is impossible to assess the size of the audi- ence which will be available for the opening day of the new channel, There is only one consolation for TV viewers. Their present sets will not be completely ob- solete, because transmissions will continue at 405 lines on the present BBC channel and on In- dependent Television, for an- other eight to 10 years. Only the new second channel will be on the 625-line transmission. BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Inspector C. F. Cannon was busy adjusting <classes in the local public schools. Many pu- pils were sent to schuols other than in their area, because of overcrowded conditions. Relief costs in tne first. six months of the year were an- nounced by the Oshawa Welfare Board to have been $226,063. Mr. and Mrs. William Luke, ell-known Raglan couple, cele- ~ brated their 60th wedding anni- versary. Work was-started on the cairn on the site of the first Presby- terian Mission. The cairn was erected in memory of the mis- sion founder, Rev. R. B Thorn- ton. A. V. Swail, locaY contrac- tor for the work, announced this would be done free of charge. More cars were sold at the GMC exhibit at the CNE 'than at any other show since 1929. District Lieutenant Goveinor International, Joseph Hearn, paid his official visit to the Osh. awa Club at its luncheon meet- ing Stventeen Oshawa boys and girls, winners of prizes in the Rotaty playground and swim- ming pool competitions during the past season, were guests of the Rotary Club. A, W. Arm- strong, chairman of the play- ground committee, presented the prizes. City Council decided to sell several properties on which there were tax arrears. Leonard M. Richer, who was supervisor of music in the Osh- awa Public Schools, resigned as choir leader in King Street United Church, because of his desire to devote more of his time to his educational work. The Ontario Clay Products Syndicate announced it would locate a manufacturing plant in Oshawa. The Ontario Ladies' College at Whitby started its 60th year as a teaching centre, Rev. Dr C. R. Carscallen was principal and governor. 5. S, Kresge's new store open- ed on Simcoe street snuth and more than 300 people applied for employment there. Cv) OTTAWA REPORT 4 Wp iy Toronte-Can By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Against q of so many men in public live today. Cttawans are watch- 'ing with proud hope one far- away campaign in the Ontario eléction. This is the candidacy of Ed- ward Dunlop, seeking to win the of Toronto riding of Forest This close interest. of Ottawa- ans does not lie in distant Tor- onto, but in Edward Dunlop, well liked here and admired as # man who has much to con- tribute in public life. . The tall. handsome Ed is re- garded by possessive Ottawa as a "local boy'"' who has - out into the world and made good, He was born and-taised in the nearby Ottawa Valley town of Pembroke But college called him to Toronto, then the war err him to North Africa and ritain, At the end of the war, a changed Edward Dunlop was back in Ottawa for three years, appropriately working as direc- tor: of the Casualty Rehabilita- tion Division in the department of veterans affairs, More re- cently he has participated in idate y. public ws here, , as wd and fair- of the, Board off , ping wou! veterans réhabili- tated, I refer to the most im- portant quality' in his charac- ter, which for better or for worse made him what he is-- totally blinded. Many heroes placed their life on the line in the war, Some were honored, some. died un- sung, some met death without courting it. Major E. Dunlop, of the Queen's Own Rifles of Can- ada, chose to brush with death in cold blood; he cheated death of its marked victim, but paid a severe price himself in doing S60. Picture the scene, at a tough Commando training camp at lonely Inverary in Scotland: A squad of Canadian boys were learning to throw -- greniddes. This wasn't sandlot pis" with Soft balls; this was for keeps, hurling live grenades, One trainee pulled out the pin, Then--it was on the un- READERS' VIEWS __ CARIBBEAN UNION Dear Sir: Your editorial in the August 26, 1963 issue of The Times on Canadian-West Indian union de- serves thoughtful consideration. It is my opinion that these re- marks were untimely and show a lack of -- and knowledge. You would have better fulfill. ed your duty to your readers and possibly have added a great dea] to our prestige and leader- ship, by first making a complete study of the facts in regard to the West Indies becoming a Canadian 11th province. Then propose the formation of a group in each of these terri- tories to study the proposal of Canon Johnson. The Canon is a well educated man and has first hand knowledge of West Indian problems and capacities. It would be worthwhile to pursue the issue and help to influence the respective government offi- cials to take action. A detailed comparative study by an interested group in Caa- ada and one frdm the West Indies is necessary. I have before me a copy of a proposed study that has been presented to Mr. Errol Barrow, Premier of Barbados, West Indies. He is extremely inter2st- ed in such a study. The proposal was also made to our Canadian External Affairs, The govern- ment is keeping a 'watchful eye" open to the subject, but government red tape and politi- cal harassment being what it is in Canada today may cause the "eye" to close before it actually focuses on the advantages of this union. It is extremely regrettable that a country as large as Can- ada and endowed by so many natural resources has been allowed to deteriorate to a point where there is a problem of unity and unemployment and where confederation is a risk, all because of your shortsighted political leadership, The contents of the proposed study are as follows: "1. History and background of the Confederation of Canada and the recent inclusion of New- foundland as the 10th province. History and background of the West Indies. "2, Natural resources of the two territories in question with special reference to trade. "3, Immigration laws. -- pres- ent and suggestions for the fu- ture, "4, Standards of education and how they could be inte- grated. "5. Integration of the mone- tary system using the Canadian currency as standard, "6, Direct representation . in the Canadian Federal Govern- ment. "These are the major items-- others would fall in line. A tew of the immediate benefits to the West Indies would be: "1, Removal of all tariffs be- tween the two territories. "2. A capital appreciation of about 50 per cent. "3, Increased inflow of Cana- dian working capital, "4. Security." If all the facts were consider. ed and the disadvantages weigh. eq against the advantages sen- sibly, instead of being "white- washed" over in editorials such as the one mentioned. Canada may be able to boost her econ- omy with such a union. You should seek out the necessary information of recent origin, There is an abundance of details in the hands of interes.- ed local citizens who are mak- ing it their business to study conditions in the West Indies. They spend their vacatioas there and are not just dream- ing about it. There are finan- ciers in Toronto who have in- vested millions in tourist proj- ects in Barbados. One project is completed that cost $1,000,000 and another started, to cater .o the middle income tourist which is costing $8,000,000, this is ail Canadian money. There are millions. of Cana- dian tourist dollars being spent there which are completely jost, from our economy, It would be better if this tourist centre be- longed to Canada and the money stayed with us. '+ Frontenac - Our government's order of the day appears to be give '"'hand- outs" to such places as the West Indies instead of taking more 'permanent steps to solve the problems of all concerned, Mr, Editor, you seem to have veiled your scant report of Canon Johnson's proposal with the "'hand-out bit", 'Handouts' have never worked in the past and will not work in the future. Our millions in handouts in tne past have been lost forever he- cause they have been sent too far and spread too thinly. Our major problem in Can- ada is to try and get staple gov- ernment leadership and political unity, before we can hope to build up our economy and expand. In the meantime it is this writer's opinion that editors and newspapers would perform a far better service to the pub- lic if they gathered all the facts, So as not to continually present half-truth editorials on worth- while subjétts, ALLAN MANSER ( Editor's Note: Our editorial opinion was based on first-hand experience in the West Indies.) QUEEN'S PARK butter-' Friday--he tn tas te one ee a e sek immobile wile the four. second fuse oral way towards the explosive which would blast him to pieces The instructor had a record of pre-war service in the militia. He was the sor of a father who had been associated with the 42nd Regiment o: the Canadian Militia for 36 years, He was described to me vs who witnessed event, "the most regimental type officer I have ever known," His character made him' tomatically leap to pick up: ripening machine of forced the soldier's head into safety; he tried to hurl the renade away out of range. But t burst when it was only a foot out of his throwing hand, The shrapnel blasted into his face and arm, Death's waiting vic- tim was unharmed, But that lakeshore commando range was the last scene which the young instructor, !fajor E. Dunlop, could ever see, HONORS FOR SERVICE Major Dunlop was awarded the George Medal, one of the highest decorations for acts of gallantry, Out of hospital, Ed served his country again, this time behind a government desk in Ottawa, helping other wounded veterans tread the road back as he had done to a full and useful life. Here again, his qualities of leadership won recognition in. the form of a civilian award. Then Canada returned to etime pursuits and Edward unlop plunged into a busy life of service to the physically handicapped, in Toronto and across Canada. You name the oe or committee, he serves on it, Now he seeks to enter the political field in the steps of his father, the late Hon. E, A. Dun- =~ lop, longtime MLA from Pem- broke and cabinet minister in the Ontario government. With his ability, compassion and sense of duty, lucky would be the constituents who elect him to represent their interests in any legislative assembly. For of Edward Dunlop it could never be said that he typifies "appalling inadequacy." ESTATE MEN WARNED JAKARTA (AP) -- Managers of foreign estates in Indonesia have been warned that the evd of their operations "'is in the offing." The official Antara news agency Monday quoted the head of the West Java estates inspectorate as telling mana- gers in his region at Bandung that "it is only a matter of time now when there will be no longer foreign. estates operating in the country," Old Tory Region Fighting Ground By DON O'HEARN COBOURG--This is the cen- tre of one of the most interest- ing areas in this campaign. From Oshawa to Cornwall there are 11 seats. At one end there is a Liberal, Peter Man- ley in. Stormont. At the other an NDP'er, Tommy Thomas in Oshawa, In between there is a solid Progressive Conservative block. é And at least half of these seats could change over. Starting at the eastern end, Mr. Manley is in the toughest fight he has ever' had. He is facing Fernand Guindon, who has moved down from Glen- garry and is an exceptional can- didate. Nobody is really calling shots on this seat, though the serious, hard-working Mr, Man- ley will be hard to beat, In Leeds, Hon. James Auld is safe and so is Hon, Fred M. Cass in Grenville-Dundas, KINGSTON WINNER But then we come to Kings- ton. And here are about as high hopes the Liberals hold of tak- ing a seat from the govern- ment, Hon. William Nickle has re- tired from the seat. The youtig mayor of Kingston, William Mills, is trying to take it for the Liberals from former hockey star Syl Apps. Mr. Apps is a new resident of the riding and it is said he doesn't have much of an organ- ization behind him, POSSIBLE CHANGES Addington, Hast- ings East and Prince Edward- Lennox are all expected to stay safely PC. But in Hastings West, based on Belleville, it's said veteran Elmer Sandercock could be in some trouble, Then in Northumberland, ba- sed on this city, the former cabinet minister, W. A, Good- fellow, has retired and the seat is considered open. And the Lib- erals have one of their best candidates Mayor Jack Heenan of Cobourg, in the field, Again next door in Durham, Alex Carruthers has not held the seat too strongly for the PCs. And running against this school-teacher member {s Allan Beer, the brother of the federal member for the riding. When you get to Oshawa there : talk that Mr, Thomes will ore, But the observer has heard this talk for years now. And he will believe it when he sees it. This has been a traditionally Conservative belt, It was the home grounds of Sir John A, Macdonald.
