Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1963--PAGE 6 Fear 56 People To Die In Safe Driving Week Safe Driving week began offi- cially at midnight Saturday and will end at midnight next Satur- day. It will be Canada's eighth an- nual attempt to lessen the toll of death, injury and accidents on the streets and roads of the nation at this time of the year. It is spon- sored, as in the past, by the Cana- dian Highway Council and receives the active support of provincial and community safety organiza- tions, educational bodies, police authorities, the judiciary, clergy and governments at all levels. The campaign this year emphas- izes the targets of the Council's committees: obedience to' laws, driver education, the use of seat belts, safety features built into cars, vehicle maintenance, safe walking in traffic and the responsibilities of citizens, as individuals, in assuring safe driving and safe walking throughout the year. But during this Safety Week, the Canadian Highway Safety Council expects that 56 deaths will occur in traffic across Canada. British By-Elections Two by-elections this week and one next week in Britain should give a fairly good picture of the state of the British Conservative party under the new prime minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home. The Con-_ servatives seem to believe that the surprising vigor shown by Sir Alec has started a swing back in favor of their party. The voting, to take place in the St. Marylebone division of London and Sudbury - Wood- bridge on Dec. 5 and in Dumfries, Scotland, on Dee. 12, should show whether their optimism is justi- fied. All three seats were held by Con- servatives and were won by. com- fortable margins in the 1959 gen- eral election. It is likely that the government will retain all three seats, although third candidate in- tervention may affect the Dum- fries result. The tip-off will be the size of the majorities. If a Conser- vative should lose, of course, it would be disastrous for. Sir Alec. The St. Marylebone election is attracting special attention because the Conservative candidate is Quin- ton Hogg, who disclaimed his title Columbia may have 6, the Prairie Provinces 9, Ontario 21, Quebec 13, Atlantic Provinces 7. In the past seven years, nearly 400 people were killed during Safe Driving Week alone -- an average of 56 during each campaign. Still, in the same seven years, the normal death ex- pectancy would be 540. So it ap- pears that during this annual cam- paign, 150 human lives have been saved over the past seven years, The Council's challenge is this: If each Canadian province and city can focus the attention of its citizens on driving and walking carefully, a record of conservation can be achieved. A concentrated effort by 19 million Canadians could save 50 lives in one week, Such a pattern could save 2,500 lives in one year." Is the effort needed? In 1962 there were 400,000 traffic accidents in Canada; 3,900 people were killed and 111,000 injured; the economic loss directly attributable to traffic accidents was estimated to exceed one-third of a billion dollars. Watched of Lord Hailsham in order to seek a seat in the House of Commons. He could scarcely have found a safer seat. In 1959 the successful Tory candidate, Sir Wavell Wakefield -- now a peer -- had 23,278 votes, the Labor candidate 8,507 and the Liberal 4,304. Labor and Liberal candidates are again contesting the seat, and they are making much of the way in which Sir Wavell Wake- field was elevated to the peerage to open up a safe seat for Mr. Hogg -- who was, incidentally, one of Sir Alec's rivals for the Conserva- tive leadership. It would be a severe blow both to the ambitious Mr. 'Hogg and the Conservative party if the Tory majority were substan- tially reduced in the "true blue" constituency. The other two seats are better fighting ground for the opposition, although both gave the Tories a comfortable edge in 1959. In Dum- fries, however, there has always been a strong Liberal tendency, and the Tory candidate in. 1959 ran under a_ Conservative - National Liberal label. This time David Anderson is running as a straight Conservative. TV Not A Substitute Television did a magnificent job of on-the-spot coverage of the tragic and historic days following the assassination of John F. Ken- nedy. It showed what the medium could achieve when it concentrated on important events without any thought for the huckstering of pills and deodorants. Interestingly, newspaper circula- tions went up during the same period. It seems people watched -- and then went to the newspapers for confirmation, for detail and for explanation. This confirms what a TV execu- tive told a recent broadcasters' con- vention in Toronto. William Mi- chaels, whose company operates television stations in three Amer- The Oshawa Times J. L.

Mr. Michaels thought this was one of the significant lessons learned in the newspaper strikes in New York, Cleveland and Detroit. He added that the strikes also showed that television cannot 'supplant newspapers in the presentation of advertising. Mr. Michaels frankly admitted that his company's stations were not averse. to taking advantage of the windfall that resulted from their competitors' misfortunes, but they found it was a short-term gain. The advertisers went back to the newspapers the minute they got back into publication. He concluded: "Reading, including newspapers, fills one requirement in their lives. Television viewing fills another, and as far as the public is concern- ed, they supplement one another. They don't replace one another. And they don't expect or want their television. lives knocked into a cocked hat because there is a news- paper strike on, any more than they would want their newspapers com- pletely revamped if there was a city-wide television strike."

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times GLASGOW, Scot!and An attack is being prepared on Communist domination of the Scottish branches of the Nation- al Union of Mineworkers Four daring miners, who are well aware that they are risk'ng their livelihood in doing S50, have launched a determined attempt to break the Com- munist control over the 55,000 m'ners employed in the Scot tish coalficids, A few weeks from now, the Scottish unions will elect their national executive, and the four miners, one of them a member of. the Scottish executive of the union, have issued a statement announcing their intention to fight an all-out battle to defeat the Communists, and have ap- pealed to their fellow-miners for support. This is the first time that any group has been bold enough to make an organ- ized effort to break the hold of the Communists 9n the union GALLANT FOUR The gallant four who leading this crusade. are Pat McCann, town councillor of Kilsyth, Fife county councillor Andrew Hamilton, John Mce- Lean of Larkhall and James Guichan, of Comrie, Fife n his appeal to the miners, Mr. McCann said: "As a result of bitter expe ri- ences gained over a period of 20 years, where a mincrity or- ganization has controlled the union, and the majority of the Scottish miners, it 1s impera- tive to form an organization to defend social democracy." The four crusaders know that they have a difficuit task ahead of them, and that their position in the union, with their liveli- hood, might b> placed in jeop- ardy by their actions. Bu: they are going ahead, nevertheless, An indication of the opposi- tion with which they will be faced is seen in action taken by the Scottish Area Executive of are the NUM. After one of the longest:meetings it has held for many years, the exécutive pass- ed a resolution condemning the action of this small group in forming an organization to fight Communism: within the union, By 13 votes to 1, the executive agreed to call on all union mem- bers to oppose the group. The lone vote in opposition was that of.Mr. McCann PRESIDENT RED After the meeting, Alex Mof- fat, president of the. executive, who is an. avowed Communist, issued a statement in which he said: "The first part of the meet- ing was taken up entirely with discussion of this anti-Commu- YOUR HEALTH Fatigue Could nism group that had developed in the union, No member was prevented from saying any- thing he wanted in the discus- sion. They. were described as an unprincipled group who had had absolute opportunities to raise any questions within this organ- ization at any time. After a very full discussion, the execu- tive, with the exception of Mr. McCann, condemned the forma- tion of this group and called on union members everywhere to oppose it." Mr. Moffat said: "Of course I am a member of the Commu- nist party, but «everybody in this organization knows that there are full democratic rights for every member." In sp'te of this rebuff, Mr. McCann and his associates' are going on. with their fignt, and will make a_ strong effort to have anti - Communist candi- dates nominated and elected to the national executive at the coming elections. He said his determination was not in any way lessened by the decision of the executive. So the battie is on, against heavy odds. Be Medication Result By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I have had two heart attacks (thrombosis, coronary occlusion). In the afternoon I am completely ex- hausted after a day's work. I also have prostate trouble and am being treated once a month, At present I am taking a ni- trate with phenobarbital three times a day, plus a drug for my blood pressure and a tran- quilizer. I seem to get relief by ianing several drinks of whisky after work in the afternoon. What ef- fect does this have on the sys- tem?--0.W. It is not surprising for a per- son with coronary heart' dis- ease, especially after several attacks, to be fatigued. , However, I suspect that the accumulated effect of your medication may have something to do with it, too.

FRYING PAN TO FIRE This new set-up was wel- in the U.S, government, Dean Rusk, during a visit to Wash- ington Sept. 7. This presenta- tion was a gesture tc mark 150 years of peace on the Great Lakes since the last Canada- U.S.A. battle there, on Lake Erie in 1813. Dean Rusk apparently over- looked the undcc'ared war of 1963, in which the Canadian ship Howard L, Shaw had been dynamited in the U.S. lake port of Chicago, after being tied up there through a summer - long boycott which had cost its own- ers more than $3,000,000. In our changing world, the Great Lakes strife of 1963 has not been fought with bullets and bombardment; baseball bats and boycotts are the weapons of today. And significantly, it has not been our minister of defence ang our foreign minister who have been involved, but our minister of labor, Hon. Alan MacEachen. His active oppon- ents have been U.S. Secretary o° Labor Willard Wirtz, and the president of the AFL - CIO, George Meany. The history of the Great Lakes waterfront strife is well known, In the post-war years strikes held up shipping and baseball bats cracked skulls. A powerful seamen's union was accused of being Communist- dominated, and our federal gov- ernment and our labor leaders virtually co-operated in setting up a non - Communist union, which they put under the con- trol of Hal Banks, who was given special immigration priv- jleges so that he could be im- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Dec. 2, 1963 .. + Napoleon Bonaparte was crowned emperor 159 years ago today--in 1804.

QUEEN'S PARK d with hope, but led to de- spair. One NDP member io'd Parliament that it had devel- oped into "a bureaucratic con- trol deepened by dictatorial methods," and he cited attacks with baseball bats upon rank- and-file union members. A_ jun- ior minister of the Liberal gov- ernment described how, in the late 40's, the great battle cry was "Let us rid the unions of Communists."' But the racket- eers who replaced the Com- munists have proved to be the greater evil, he suggested. "Acts 0 terror have been ramp- ant, men have been dragged off ships, assau'ted on the streets, harassed, beaten, bullied and crushed into submission," de- clared another MP, Thus came the government's determination to create a board of trustees to manage and con- trol the five unions operating on the Great Lakes. This' is in- tended as a temporary trustee- ship, with the objective of re- storing control of the unions to du'y elected and responsible of- ficers, Labor Minister Mac- Eachen told Parliament, But an important and over- GALLUP POLL ternational interference; to note how they repeatedly criticized the U.S. government and the U.S. leadership of international unions for attempting to dictate how Canada should run its own affairs, "The Canadian trade union movement and the Parliament of Canada cannot and. will not accept outside domination of our jurisdiction and sover- eignty," said NDP member Harold Winch, who has been a member of an_ international union for 39 years and a legis- lator for 36, i "There should be more Cana- dian autonomy over Canadian affairs," added the NDP stal- wart, Stanley Knowles. "This - should be true of all aspects of our life, economic, imdustrial, intellectual, educational, cul- tural, and defence as well." It was unexpected that "'Ca- nadian nationatism" should be referred to again and again by MPs debating international unions. But the history of the Great Lakes battle of 1963, and the actions in it of U.S. political and union leaders, justify this talk. It was indeed a cynical cn- incidence that Dean Rusk drew attention to the Battle of Lake Erie at a time when Canada- U.S. relationships on the Great Lakes were at a lower ebb than at any other time during the intervening 150-years. Heavier Luxury Taxes Gaining More Support By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (Wo~'d Copyright Reserved) If John Citizen himself were called on to write the new Cana- dian tax schedules for next year -- schedules which may bring heavier duties on many items -- here is an indication of where Mr. Citizen wou'd look for the extra revenue, to- day, as compared with 20 years ago. 1. Far ahead of all others, heavier taxation of luxuries -- Luxury taxes, including liquor certain manufactured articles "taxes on those with Income taxes and largest incomes" considerably increased from his belief in 1942, 2. Corporation taxes includ- ing excess pro'its -- an idea which has almost trebled in favor since the early forties. 3. A greatly decreased be- lief that income taxes should be increased -- cut by more than four times the natio shown earlier, The question, last put to the people in 1942: The government claims more money has to be raised in taxes. What sort of taxes would you prefer to see increased?" 192 TODAY tobacco and 45% Corporation taxes including excess profits General sales tax Taxes on gasoline and fuel- All other taxes: mentioned No. opinion (Some named more than one) Tax On Services Gets Second Look By DON 0'HEARN TORONTO--A tax on shines and car washes? This is one of the interesting conjectures raised by the hear- ings of the Ontario Committee on Taxation. The suggestion came not from the public but from a member of the committee itself, Dr. R. Craig Mclvor, F.R.S.C. : Dr. Mclvor said the commit- tee certainly would have to. de- cide whether the sales: tax should be extended to cover services. : And. "services"' could mean everything from shoe shines to possibly doctor's and lawyer's shoe fees. At first glance Dr. Mclvor's proposal looks far out. You would say there is no chance it would be ever adopted. A services tax was quickly discarded when the sales tax program was being drawn up. The collection and administra- tion problems obviously would be great. : But there's going to be a hun- ger for money around here in the next few years. The costs of government are going up and up. And every possible means of raising more revenue will be closely examined. The argument put forward at this stage in favor of a tax on services is that it could mean a broader base and a lower rate of sales tax. However when government got looking into it, this could mean a broader base with the same rate of tax--and more revenue. AMBITIOUS ADULTS!

Our tax structure not only un- derlies government but influ- ences our way of life. The committee has broad terms of reference to examine into this whole structure. It will be met throughout not only with questions of ways and means but also with questions of principle. Who, should be taxed? How far should the government go in subsidizing sections of the pub- lic? These and other basic ques- - tions are root decisions in. de- ciding on changes in tax struc- ture and policies. There are-no easy answers to them and one cah't expect that the committee will really come up with answers, for they are - essentially political questions. However the airing of the questions and the various fac- tors involved may help the poli- ticians to make up their minds on changes.
