| | She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1964-----PAGE 6 Objection To Proposal To Help Our Magazines Some details of the federal gov- ernment's proposed legislation to help Canadian magazines meet un- fair foreign competition have now been revealed. It is apparent that the measure will be ineffective, in one aspect, and objectionable in another. Prime Minister Pearson appar- ently agrees in general with the O'Leary commission's recommenda- tion that "the deduction from in- come by a taxpayer of expenditures incurred for advertising directed at the Canadian market in a foreign periodical wherever printed be dis- allowed." But he has decided to ignore the "wherever printed" res- triction, and proposes to exempt Time magazine and Reader's Digest. This exemption makes a joke of the whole proposal, because these two magazines between them take some 40 per cert of all Canadian advertising in Canadian consumer magazines. What the government proposes to do, in other words, is to close the door after the barn has been emptied. The measure would, of course, help to prevent other Ameér- ican magazines from following the profitable course taken by Time and Reader's Digest, but that is little consolation for the Canadian ma- gazines now scrabbling for revenue to keep themselves in business. Thus the promised protection is no protection at all, and, quite apart from the questionable aspect of placing a tax on advertising, the legislation might just as well be dropped. It serves no important purpose. The objectionable aspect of the legislation is the proposal to ban foreign magazines which do not meet the Canadian advertising re- quirements. Tris is nothing less than censorship, which in this case cannot be justified even on moral grounds, Any disturbance of the free flow of information across in- ternational borders is to be re- gretted. The government sider this legislation. should recon- Public Housing Ideas Robert Bradley, director of the Torento Housing Authority, said recently that he doubts that a new 1,897-unit public housing project can be filled, partly because it is too far from downtown. Despite low rentals, he said, many people . prefer to go on living in relatively poor housing rather than move to an inconveniently located public housing project. For. his frank speaking the hous- ing official was severely. repri- manded by the Toronto Board of Control. The new development is to cost $22 million, of which $16,- 500,000 comes out of federal tax revenues, $3,850,000 from the pro- vincial government's revenues, and $1,650,000 from the municipal gov- ernment's revenues. If the new project is a white elephant, it will be a costly one. The traditional public housing policy is to expropriate an area classified as a slum, bulldoze the site and erect publicly-owned, high- rise, low-rent apartments. But ex- perienced U.S. housing officials now concede that this approach tends to keep occupants locked in a ghetto of poverty, that it is a very high-cost policy and that it des- troys neighborhoods that might better be revitalized. To escape this tradition, the U.S: is now experi- menting with various methods: of acattering low-income families into existing houses and apartments. The New York city housing authority is buying old three-story brick houses, remodelling' the top floors into duplex apartments large enough for 10-member families, and converting the ground floors into small units that will bring in revenues from ordinary tenants. In Philadelphia and Washington vacant houses are being rehabili- tated, and in some cases combined, to accommodate large families. In San Francisco some families will receive a rent subsidy for four years in privately-owned co-oper- ative apartments, with the hope that they will then he able to buy the units they occupy. A saving of up to one-third of the taxpayers' public housing cost is one aim in these and other U.S. experiments; another is to supply housing sooner; a third is to avoid the in- stitutional environment of public housing projects and. try to provide incentive to. welfare-assisted fam- ilies to better their position within their community, Traffic Deaths Probed It is a conviction of most motor- ists that reckless drivers are largely to blame for the highway slaugh- ter, says Steve Franzmeier, editor of Traffic Digest and Review, published by the Northwestern university traffic institute. reckless- factor.

Connecticut, a state with a thorough highway safety program, reports that seven out of ten drivers involved in fatal acci- dents within its borders each year have had no past traffic violations, eight in ten have had no accidents, and nine in ten have had no more than one accident or violation. What is the explanation? Franz- meier thinks it's because so many factors are involved in a fatal acci- dent -- especially inattentiveness, errors in judgment and lack of driving skill. He says drivers de- lude themselves into thinking they are safe because they are careful and obey all the traffic laws. His advice is to obey the lawe but also to practice defensive driving.

Up to now, we know how to dissolve some kidney stones, but not gall stones. I keep mak- ing this distinction because peo- ple confuse the two--that is, until they have one or the other.

Anyway, I don't know how you can make him stop smok- ing or make him have an x-ray or anything else, if he doesn't want to. He certainly has read about the surgeon general's report on smoking. I hope he will heed it I do not believe it possible to smoke without getting some of it into the nose, throat and lungs even if you 'don't in- hale." It generally irritates these membranes. Hence a "cigarette cough." I wish the surgeon general's report had added one more thing. Instead of stressing the serious diseases, it might have pointed out that a chronic cough is a strain even if you don't have lung cancer. Personally I like the logic of a doctor who, several years ago, quit smoking just because he didn't. want coughing to in- terrupt his sleep.

It transpired that her fa- ther had been born in the Unit- ed States, but had many years ago become a naturalized Brit- ish subject, and served with great distinction in the Royal Air Force in the second world war, Her brother had also had a distinguished war record, But because her father had not been born in Britain, her appli- cation was not even consider- ed. However, after a furore of criticism over this case, the decision was reversed, and an- nouncement was made that her application would be consider- ed along with others. NOTICE TO MARRY Another very stringent regula- tion has just been put into force in the government's Communi- cations Headquarters. Civil Servants employed in that branch of the service have been ordered to give their de- partmenta! chiefs notice of any plans they might have of marry- ing If the bride-to-be's parents were not born in the United Kingdom, then three months' notice of the impending wed- ding must be given. In all other cases one month's notice is required, Romance may also become a reason for male civil servant losing the particular job he holds, or for his transfer to some other branch of the serv- ice. This order has been ac- cepted by the union leaders who are members of the Whitley Council, which is the civil servants negotiating body. "In certain circumstances," says the order, 'marriage could, for security reasons, lead ' to the officer being transferred to other work in another de- partment. This is more likely to occur when the marriage. in- volves a fyoreign national or a person -- although a British subject -- whose parents were not born in the United King- dom." The order also says: might be necessary to immediately to the United Kingdom any officer serving overseas who marries a local inhabitant. Such a marriage may preclude the officer from serving a further tour of duty at the same location." These new rules result from security officers' fears of dan- gers arising from the marriages of civil servants to girls whose families live behind the Iron Curtain.

Wally Nesbitt, the well-liked and hard-working bachelor MP from Woodstock, Ont., told me of the six-day Canada-U.K U.S. meeting of parliamentari- ans he had attended in Ber- muda-- where it was "cold, raining and windy"--and the week-long Canada-U.S. parlia- mentarians' conference he had attended in Washington and Cape Kennedy -- better known as Cape Canaveral--in Florida, where it was also "cold, rain- ing and windy." Back in Ottawa, his first job for» his constituents was to hasten the issue of passports for Ken Orton and his wife, of Till- sonburg, Ken, an immigrant from the U.K., has worked as programme director at the lo- cal radio station for about 10 years, but took up photography as a hobby. His first attempt at making a film, in color and with sound, won him a prize at the Venice Film Festival, So in response to a cabled invita- tion, he and his wife were fly- ing to Italy to receive the award THE DISTAFF SIDE Some of Parliament's ladies were occupied with woman's work as well as political work. Judy LaMarsh, back from her official visit to the Olympic Winter Sports in Austria's Tyrol, and all set to launch her universal portable pension plan, was shopping for green felt. A chess buff 'when I can find an opponent', she had brought home a deorative set with tournament-size carved figures in pale brown and pale blue- reen onyx. The big, heavy oard needed a felt bottom to save the furniture in her Ottawa apartment from onyx scratches.

Robarts Will Not Scuttle Pensions BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Premier Robarts finally has put to rest doubts about the Canada Pension Plan. Winding up the Throne Speech debate Mr. Robarts made this statement: "T do not seek to, nor will I. scuttle the Canada Pensios Plan". Mark that " nor will I", This commits the premier. He made the statement after detailing. a long list of criti- cisms of the plan. This criticism will continue. And, presumably there will be some tense moments as he con- tinues to negotiate for what he considers the best plan for the people of Ontario. But, on his own word, at any time Ottawa wants to go ahead it can He will not stand in the way. NO EASEMENT: A somewhat confused mayor and other representatives Hamilton were annoyed to see a section of their City of Hamil- ton bill voted down by the pri- vate bills committee. The section would have given a tax easement of up to $100 to old age pensioners. The authorities here have been against the easement, on the grounds that in principle they feel that any easements are bad. This, however, was not what decided the committee--in fact it was hardly brought up. READERS' VIEWS INDIANS' PLACE Dear Sir: In passing through Oshawa re- cently I picked up your news- paper and was ab.e to confirm that Sachem Carl Lewis of To- ronto is right when he says that you print the most accurate, best Indian news coverage. It was my feeling that you might be interested in a delayed answer I had to give to a Win- nipeg newspaper reporter who had asked me what I was trying to do in Winnipeg, a Mohawk from Caughnawaga, when there was nothing much that could be done to help the situation but just let time and nature take, its course. He asked me ques- tions which I since answered by mail. The questions concerned: Why do the 250,000 Indians on reser- vations in Canada, and nearly as many off reservations fail to take their proportionate place in Canadian life? A few are successful but the great majority are not. Other than 20,0° years of heredity in a culture far differ- ent from the white man's civi- lization there are other factors continuing to block the "place in the sun" for Indians, These are factors we may be able to change. Non-Indians exist in a society controlled more than ever by motivation. Insecurity, competi- tion, difficulties are not only the necessary ingredients to develop genius but also to develop the excellence of performance which makes the difference between survival and faijure. The close home life of Indians brings them up, despite poverty and sub- human conditions, with a bal- anced, normal relationship to people and to life. They are not insecure, frightened motivated by fears, hungry, lonely like most eeeeeeeeeeeeeee non-Indians. The result is that they reach their early teens well-adjusted for their life, but not prepared for the cat and dog competition of more com- petitive life. In addition, there is no tradi- tion in most Indian homes to demand performance in busi- ness, studies, sports or any of the natural or artificial stimuli of non-Indian environment. In- dians are expected to be them- selves and not change, improve and be someone else tomorrow. Excessive ambition, and ac- quisition are not great virtues in the Indian tradition. In fact, they are defects. While I do not approve or «n- dorse this under our present cir- cumstances, these are the facts as I see them. And as far as necessary this must be changed now to provide the rewards, chances for Indians of every de- gree of ability and skill to real- ize their potential ability. De- velopment of the different tal- ents in various persons must not call for others to be resentful but co-operative in program to uplift all Indians, It must be now or tomorrow will be too, too late. It may not be a good thing but the home environment, the tradition, the childhood security of the young Indians may be altered but in a world that promises to become more com- plex and difficult we cannot allow ourselves to become vic- tims, and slip lower on the lad- der with the same resources divided between four times as many people as a result of the current Indian population explo- sion. To achieve this development, we must find able young lead- ers, ensure unity and co-opera- tion between all Indians, and through our own efforts move out into the sun.
