'tea time police duties. ' on the Kingston area | have using such guards as ee eeeneriL, a es Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario _T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JANUARY 13, 1964--PAGE 6 Winter Works Program added By Procedures "Oshawa's "winter works" sewer program is still waiting for federal approval -- and the reason seems t6 be nicely wrapped in lengths of ed tape. : ~The federal government made in the method of applying for winter works subsidies since last year's program. The changes make for book-keeping and seem designed simply to provide the gov- ernment with a set of statistics which will make the winter works program appear to be much more effective than it really is. In past years, a municipality could send in names of persons em- employed on the winter works program, and that would be that. In Oshawa, the custom has been to hire for the winter works those city employees who otherwise would have been laid off for periods during the winter. This procedure, in effect, kept unemployment fig- ures down -- and this, surely is the purpose of the program. But the new procedure, as we une derstand it, is this: The city must lay off those employees for whom it has no regular work. Those eme ployees must then register as un- employed. Then the city must hire the number of workers it needs for the winter works program from the National Employment Service. This procedure puts both the workers and the city to an incon- venience, with the workers possibly suffering some loss of pay. But that's the way the federal govern- ment wants it. To our: way of thinking, the obvious reason is that the hiring of men for winter works through the National Employment Service produces the statistics which show the program in the best possible light. Oshawa's method-- presumably followed by other mu- nicipalities--did not pad those sta- tistics. But it achieved the same purpose. No extra jobs are created by the new system, except, possibly for book-keepers, but "the picture" will be more attractive. Use Of Security Guards Some rural or semi-urban muni- cipalities in Ontario have hired private security guards for part- Two police officers to enforce local by- laws. The Ontario Provincial Police are, with good reason, critical of this procedure. Judge Bruce Macdon- ald, chairman of the Ontario Police Commission, has suggested that the official use of the private guards be prohibited by law. Licensed pri- vate investigators are forbidden *----dw from doing regular police duty, but security guards fall into another category and do not have to be licensed. We agree with Judge Macdonald that the loophole in the law should be closed. The hiring of private guards is calculated to erode both respect for law enforcement and its efficient administration. But a pro- Reaction To It is curious how stubbornly many people still refuse to acknowledge the fact that automation, or the use of computers in the processes of production, has introduced an en- tirely new element into industrial @ociety. The Orillia Packet and Times, for example, thinks 'there is altogether too much nonsense talked these days about the 'men- ace' posed to our society by auto- fhation . . . even a quick look at the facts shows that mechanization Ghanges the jobs men do, it does fot eliminate them." ~ We agree that there's a lot of nonsense talked about automation, but the blind refusal to recognize the implications of automation can indeed convert what can be a bles- sing into a monstrous menace. The Orillia paper's "quick look" shows that the percentage of the popula- tion in the work force has remain- ed fairly constant over the past fifty or sixty years. But if we take more than a quick look at la- bor statistics we find that quite She Oshawa Times 1. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

The problem which faces the growing municipalities in rural areas or on the fringes of tr- ban areas is one of organizing and paying for adequate police protec- tion. The hiring of the guards is simply an easy, if wholly improper, way out of a continuing dilemma. The police Commission some time ago proposed a drastic revision and strengthening of police organiza- tion, provincial and municipal, in Ontario. It was a sound plan, and the Ontario government at first ap- peared to support it. But more re- cent moves by the Attorney-Gener- al's department would indicate that the plan has been dropped. It should be revived. It would not only mean more effective police protection for the province as a whole, but would solve the police problem of the struggling municipalities. Automation revolutionary changes have been taking place, particularly in the past 15 years. In industry after industry, production is being greatly increas- ed with comparatively fewer work- ers. The point being missed by the advocates of do-nothing is that au- tomation does not mean the build- ing of bigger, faster machines but the provision of electronic and me- chanical direction of those machines. Its whole purpose is to eliminate man-labor; if it does not do that, it is pointless. We are in the early stages of the automation revolution, and its ef- fect has been cushioned by the growth of the service industries. But automation is moving into those industries. Automation need not be a menace to society; it could, with proper planning, prove to be one of man- kind's greatest boons. But it will be much more than a menace if we refuse to see its direction.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- What's in a mame? According to Shake- speare nothing very much. But according to the business peo- ple of two London suburban communities bearing the same name, there is a great deal in the name of a place. It is quite common on travel- ling around Britain to find towns and villages in different coun- ties bearing the same name. But so long as the name of the coun- ty is affixed, little inconvenience is caused. But in the area around London, there are two boroughs which both bear the same name of Bromley. One of them is a large suburban shop- ping centre in Kent, just a few miles from the heart of London. The other is the East End dis- trict of Bromley which is in the London borough of Poplar. TRADERS' COMPLAINT Complaint because there is no definite way of distinguishing be- tween the names of these two busy communities has come from shopkeepers and business people in the Kent Bromley. They claim that they are losing trade because many would-be shoppers are going astray on public transportation, and are finding themselves in the other Bromley which lies north of the river Thames. Confusion between these two towns, investigation reveals, starts at Victoria Station. From that station, it is possible for travelers to get a train direct to either of the two Bromleys. What happens is that people in a hurry, and going to Brom- ley in Kent, study the Under- ground Railway map, see Brom- ley on it, and think that they have 'to travel on a District Line train, when they should have taken a Southern line electric train instead of going on the tube. So they finish their jour- ney in London's East End sub- urb, when the place they want- ed to reach was several miles away in Kent. The Bromley, Kent, Chamber of Commerce has written to the Names London Transport Board sug- gesting that the words "by Bow" be added to the other Bromley station, but without success, Says the secretary of the Chamber: "It is usually people from the southern part of the country who go astray when they change trains at Victoria Station. Busi- ness men coming from the con- YOUR HEALTH tinent are also misled. In one particular case, an electrical manufacturer over here on a business trip to visit a local firm in Bromley wasted so much time going to the wrong place -- the other Bromley -- that he did not have time to come here at all.'"' Bromley council has also taken the matter up with the London Transport Board on be- half of the traders, and has been told that any confusion which existed must be very slight, as the District Line sta- tion was used mainly by com- muters. Its final word was: "We cannot see any reason for putting 'by Bow' after Brom- ley because one is on the Dis- trict Line and the other is on the Southern Line." Minor Allergies Affect Majority By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Any infor- mation concerning allergies from dust and pollen would be greatly appreciated.--Mr. B. That's a big order. It is esti- mated that 75 per cent of us have at least minor allergies, and 25 per cent have strong ones, and no two of them are necessarily alike. However, maybe I can give you some helpful clues. An allergy is a hypersensitiv- ity to something or other which ordinarily is harmless. The symptoms can be a running nose, chronic drainage in the throat, hives, itch, inflamed eyes, sneezes, digestive upsets and a host of other common complaints. Pairing the hypersensitivity with the symptom isn't always easy. A careful history of the case is essential. In one in- stance symptoms occurred only on weekends; a lot of detective work disciosed that cer- tain cheeses used for snacks when the family visited their cottage was the cause. Pollen allergy is usually eas- ier to spot because of its sea- sonal nature, but remember that two or three different types may overlap. A dozen or so pol- lens, at least, are frequently in- volved in "haw fever." It isn't just a single ragweed. BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO January 13, 149 Dr. C. W. DeMille, former minister of King Street United Church, resigned as secretary of the Ontaric Temperance Fed- eration, following nine years in office. James Drew, resident of Har- mony for 80 years, celebrated his 90th birthday. Bert White's Oshawa rink, in the 63rd International Bonspiel at the Detroit Curling Club, lost the championship by one point on the last end to a United States entry.

Included in the preview of 1949 General Motors new car models produced in Oshawa was a new- comer, the Oldsmobile eight. At its monthly meeting, King Street Home and School Asso- ciation was privileged to present Miss Etta M. Holmes a picture and written address in recog- nition BP g years of service as pl pal of King Street School. Stephen G. Saywell was re- elected chairman of the Oshawa Salvage Board, with Mrs. A. Smith as vice-chairman at the first meetins of the year. A. J. Graves declared in his annual report that 37 Oshawa families were assisted during 1948. J. M. Meagher was elected president of the Separate School Board. John G. Brady and A. C. Love were elected vice-president and secretary respectively. T. Eaton' company opened a store on King street east. Miss L. Nelson was manageress of the Mail Order and Gordon Rae was manager of the Clothes Shop. 4 Revenue froz parking meters in downtown Oshawa gave the ~ a net profit of $5,313 for 168. Ralph Found was appointed Assessment Commissioner for East Whitby Township. He re- placed Stewart Sparling who ac- cepted a similar position in Peterborough. Ratepayers of North Oshawa School Section re-elected Arthur Moffatt to the School Board. HARDER TO IDENTIFY Dust sensitivities may be harder to identify, and involve many things other than "dirt." Molds, yeast, pollen, animal danders, feathers, fabrics--quite a. list. We may sneeze from the ir- ritation if a cloud of dust blows in our faces. The allergic per- son doesn't .eed a cloud of it Watcl the particles in the air where a sunbeam falls. Just a few particles of the right (or wrong!) material can make an allergic person sneeze. What can be done? Medical history and skin tests will usu- ally identify at least some of the offending types of dust, and if the symptoms warrant, desensi- tization by injections may be utilized. In less severe cases, dust can be reduced by having a mini- mum of knicknacks around, and use of oiled cloth or mop for cleaning. Allergies tend to add together. If you are sensitive to several things, you may have symptoms if all affect you at once, but you may escape if you er counter them singly. Or en counter them in small enough concentrations. ened Hog a --_ some of the er you, you ma: find that the others will prod you less trouble because your total exposure is reduced.

Otherwise, if the pregnancy is normal, bleeding is @ ominous sign and should be reported to the doctor at once.

France led the field with contributions amounting to $20.93 per head of population. The U.S. supplied $19.17 a head, Canada offered a mere $2.66 a head; about one-third of the contributions made by Britain and West Germany. Our foreign secretary, Hon. Paul Martin, recently an- nounced in Parliament the gov- ernment's decision to increase our level of foreign aid consid- erably--to about 3% times the tight-wad level to which we dropped in 1962. Last week Mr. Martin de voted a whole h to this topic, outlining Canada's t contributions and future plans and describing the humanitarian obligation upon us to play our part with like-minded industri- alized nations. This was the first time in sev- eral years that any cabinet min- ister has tackled foreign aid as ® subject in itself, worthy of a full speech rather than mere passing reference. And it was welcome and significant that his audience in Hamilton, Ont., gave our eloquent foreign secretary an enthusiastic response. HELP THEM, HELP US Critics of our foreign aid dur- ing the last 13 years have based their objections upon a fatal misunderstanding. Whether we have made grants or extended credits to beneficiary countries, there has always been one sim- ple condition. Those monies, given or loaned, which were to be spent upon equipment or manufac- tured goods or foods, had to be spent in Canada. In other words, we were providing Canadian products rather than interna- tional cash; our gifts and our loans were creating jobs for Ca- nadians. It is important that Canadi- ans 'should be aware of this basic condition, because such awareness must create a favor- able reaction among Canadians to our foreign aid program. "Nothing is of more import- ance," Mr. Martin said in Ham- ilton, "than the creation within Canada of public support for international development." TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan. 13, 1964... French novelist Emile . Zola published a letter 66 years ago today--in 1898-- beginning with the words J'accuse, in which he made serious charges against the French government with re- spect to the Dreyfus affair. Zola was sentenced to a fine and imprisonment, but fled to England, returning a year later when he heard there was to be a revision of the Dreyfus case. The supreme court of appeals cleared Dreyfus in 1906 and he was made a general dur- ing the First World War, ing in 1935. "Tale The English cap- | tured the French city of Rouen. Are you one of the Mr, Martin stressed especially the valuable co-operation in in- ternational aid by voluntary 'or- ganizations and private individ- uals in Canada; these fill im- portant roles complementary to the government role, he said. He paid especial tribute to the YMCA, the Salvation Army, the Red Cross, the Save the Chil- dren Fund, the Canadian Uni- versities Service Overseas and "a host of other organizations, private and public, large and small, which are deeply in- volved in international service." One field of foreign aid in which Canada is making a val- uable contribution is education. Last year 10,043 students from the developing countries wee studying in Canada, Mr. Martin said; while 235 Canadian teach- ers and advisers were serving abroad. A special tribute was paid by Mr, Paul Martin to the Credit Union League of Saskatchewan, which has celebrated its 25th an- niversary by launching an edu- cational program to teach the techniques of credit union devel- = to the people of Tangan- a. These are some of the lines in which Canada is contributing to what Paul Martin called "this ey human adventure of all e.""

The other night James B. Trotter, the member for Tor- onto Parkdale made a speech here. It was quite a refreshing speech. Mr. Trotter came out for a limit on election spending and government subsidy of candi- dates. He also proposed an all-out sickness insurance program which would be run independ- ently of the private insurance companies. Most refre of all was that he acknowledged that most of the party funds are supplied by large corporations. Also that Saskatchewan had a good med- ical insurance program. BACKS HIS PROPOSALS Once he had broken the si- lence barrier, Mr. Trotter had the courage to go on and back his proposals with some argu- ment. He freely recognized that as things are now politicians must think twice, or three times, be- fore they will criticize powerful That there were 63 " non-profit" medical nmneene plans in Canada. ; In 1959 they had paid out $89 for every $100 in premiums. operating cost of $11. paid out $72 for an cost of $28, Re Saskatchewan that its doctors had average 'ncome (though agai. he ures, which would not be a indicator). -- oe rr; ter was not making up to the NDP.
