Wilson, Publisher ee vey WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Another Broadcasting Inquiry Not ',In the Twenties, broadcasting was in its infancy and there was a@ warm controversy over public versus private "ownership" of the ait. A guide for future development was needed and in 1928 the govern- ment of the day very sensibly had a royal commission look into the question. That was the Aird com- mission, out of which came, by way of recommendation, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which was established in 1936. 'After World War II, it was clear that another assessment of Cana- dian broadcasting was needed. Tele- vision was developing very rapidly, and radio broadcasting was chan- 'ging its form in response to the challenge of TV. At the same time, Canadians were becoming more sharply aware of their cultural aspirations and achievements -- or lack of them. From these develop- ments dame the Massey commis- sion of 1949, which dealt at length with broadcasting in its carefully and often lively examination of the arts, letters and sciences, but it saw fit to urge a go-slow policy on private television and the reten- tion of all national broadcasting control by the CBC. These recom- Support For Premier Robarts has obtained support from a perhaps unexpected source for his criticism of the Can- ada Pension Plan. The board of governors of the Ontario Teachers Federation has decided that the Federation will support the Ontario government if it decides not to participate in the Canada Pension Plan. The governors said that many school boards require teach- ers to retire before they are 65, the age at which they would be eligible for benefits (at a reduced rate) under the proposed Canada Pension Plan. Also, teachers would not qualify for full pensions be- cause their teaching careers do _ not Jast 47 years, the length of time required for full benefits. A resolu- tion passed by the board of gov- ernors said: "The unfortunate experience of the Unemployment Insurance Fund would seem to have demonstrated the inability of federal governments to administer in a proper fashion any Canada-wide plan of social security." t Requir equired mendations were hotly criticized, and the Fowler commission was appointed in 1956 to make a study of broadcasting, exclusively. As result of the Fowler commis- sion's report, private television was approved and the Board of Broad- cast Governors was set up distinct from the CBC. The idea was to establish an impartial body to govern broadcasting, but unfortu- nately the lack of precision in rede- fining the CBC role and defining that of the BBG has led to confu- sion. The CBC colossus, which re- gards itself as beyond question, has not gone out of its way to make the job of the BBG any easier. The trouble could be straightened out quite easily by the federal government, simply. by clarifying the Broadcasting Act of 1958. But State Secretary Lamontagne has announced that the government will set up a committee to in- vestigate. Another investigation? In heaven's name, why? A simple amendment will clear up the trouble between the BBG, the CBC and the private broadcasters. And we all should know by now that it's impossible to legislate good programs into being. Robarts That is much too sweeping a statement, of course. The "unfor- tunate experience of the Unemploy- ment Insurance Fund" demonstrates not the inability of the federal gov- ernment to administer a broad pro- gram of social security, but the danger of such a program's being twisted by opportunistic govern- ment to use public funds to buy public support for itself. The Federation's governors weak- ened their case against the Canada Pension Plan by the reference to the Insurance Fund. The Canada Pension Plan has been a_ hastily assembled scheme, and as such it is full of errors and omissions. But it is thought to be a vote-getter, and Mr. Pearson and his colleagues cling tenaciously to it, despite criticism. Mr. .Robarts, however, will soon have to produce more than vague generalities if he is to show the people of Ontario that he has a sound alternative to the federal plan. Moving To Capitalism Premier Khrushchev is now say- ing nice things about Americans and other Westerners while he lam- bastes the Chinese Communists as 'warmongers etc. The Chinese Com- munists, of course, have long been lambasting Mr. Khrushchev be- cause they think he is too soft to- wards the imperialist capitalists. The Soviet premier can look after himself in any slanging match; he is an old hand at it. Still, there is no doubt that he has been finding more to admire in the Western way o doing things. Indeed, as Big Gov- ernment in the West grows stead- ily more autocratic, and the Soviet Union adopts more of the methods She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

Not long ago Khrushchev told industrial managers that capitalism had an efficiency that Russian and Communist industry lacked. He said that it would be no disgrace to borrow good ideas -- and suggested that they do it quickly. Investment, for instance, is a capitalist tenet. and one that no industrial system could ignore. So is profit -- and Khrushchev pointed out that it was silly to make anything that consis- tently showed a loss. Now Khrushchev is advising similar courses for agriculture. He has long advocated using American methods -- such as intense fertiliza- tion, crop rotation, more corn acre- age to provide cattle feed. He urges mechanization in the manner of American farmers. In. his most re- cent speech he has stated flatly that farm workers have to have decent pay or they can't be expected to work efficiently. Khrushchey did more than drag up the old Communist slogan that 'he who does not work does not eat." He went far beyond another Red slogan: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." From now on he wants ability paid for regardless of needs, -- capitalism.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For he Oshawa Times LONDON -- The tempo of British industrial production is quickening at an encouraging rate. Production over the last three months of the year 1963 forged ahead at a much great- er rate than has been expected. And the improved trend in pro- duction should be maintained over the next three months period of 1964. These are the © conclusions which are set forth by the National Association of British YOUR HEALTH Manufacturers. It is based on the results of the production survey made by the association for the fourth quarter of 1963. And this sample survey, involv- ing 500 firms, shows that things are better now, industrially, than they have been for two years, NOT SO PROMISING The prospects for the future beyond the present summer, however, are not regarded as so promising. In fact, the asso- ciation says that the long-term outlook is "somewhat disturb- ing." Of. some 360 firms who Instead Of Worry, ' Get Proper Check By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Last Octo- ber I had two weeks of severe chest pain. It would come and go very fast and leave me breathless. This has passed but my chest hurts at times now, mostly when I raise both arms, and various household chores bring a dull pain. I smoke about a pack of cig- arettes a day and drink a lot of coffee. I am 23 and have two children. I. have never con- sulted a doctor about this, Can you give me some hints?--Mrs. R.P. After all these years, I'm not about to start trying to diagnose aches and pains by mail. Nevertheless, your letter gives me an idea that may do you-- and others--some good. s| Quite a few people, I know, will go around for months, just as you have, with their chests or other parts of their bodies in pain. They won't go to a doctor until they get so sick they can't help it. There are other people who run to a doctor every time they have a hangnail. Neither is the smart way. Ideally, we'd be better off if people had a checkup once or twice a year, but many won't do it. So let's get back to you, Mrs. R.P. Instead of hurting -- and worrying -- consult your doctor and give him a chance to cor- rect the trouble. It might be something like intercostal neur- itis, which isn't serious The important thing is to find out. If it isn't serious, it still deserves correction. If it is the beginning of something more dangerous, then now is the time to tackle it. But don't keep putting it off. Besides going to the doctor when something of this sort crops up is a fair to middling Substitute for regular checkups. Dear Dr. Molner: We were reading about trichinosis and wonder if leaving pork in the refrigerator for any length of time wouldn't make the germ grow.--Mrs. A.C. No, because 'trichinosis isn't caused by a germ. It is a very thin worm which, if present in pork is in encysted form. That is, it is dormant, curled up in a sort of cocoon, When eaten, the shells are dissolved by the digestive juices. The worms then quickly grow to full size, and produce thou- sands of new larvae which work their way through the blood | vessels and tissues of the body, to find resting places (often in the muscles) where they in turn @ encysted. On their way, ce they leave a trail of toxic ma- terials which is the dangerous phase of the disease, although sometimes the cysts create vir- tually permanent irritation. Only a few of the worms are necessary to cause serious trouble; they do not breed while refrigerated. Thorough them. Dear Dr. Molner: Can vita- mins take the place of correct diet for. school age children who just eat sandwiches, no fruit or juices? Not entirely. The fibres of fruit help correct bowel action. Vitamins certainly don't take the place of protein. And what about calcium (from milk)? There's a lot more to diet than just vitamins, Dear Dr. Molner: I have heard that sitting under a fluorescent light can cause loss of hair, I have been studying under such a lamp and my hair seems to become thinner. Re- cently I was told about a co-ed who became completely bald from studying under a fluroes- cent lamp.--T.Y, I know of absolutely no evi- dence of any such thing, if it were true, the powerful rays of the sun would be a thousand times stronger. (And studying won't make you bald, either.) I'd want more than somebody's say-so before believing the story about the co-ed. Maybe a co-ed lost her hair, and maybe she had a fluorescent lamp, but there's no connection between the two. cooking destroys ed UP THE HATCH? were asked whether the indus- trial improvement would con- tinue throughout the whole of 1964, 30 per cent replied that they were doubtful. The main reasons for lack of optimism in the long-term view were higher wages and other rising costs which could no longer be absorbed. Also men- tioned were shortage of skilled labor and uncertainty because of the coming general election. Some firms indicated that de- mand was no longer increasing as much as it had been in re- cent months. SOME STATISTICS The survey showed that while three months ago, 48 per cent of the firms questioned had ex- pected . production to rise, the actual result of the operations during that period was that 64 per cent had increased their out-put, Another 32 per cent re- ported that there had been no change in their production fig- ures, while only four per cent reported that their production had declined, For the next quarter, 51 per cent of the firms foresaw an increase in production, 40 per cent forecast no change and nine per cent expected to show a@ decrease. Generally speak- ing, however, there will be con- tinued improvement. Home orders have increased, while export orders are also show- ing an upward trend. Industries which are reported to be qoing exceptionally well are engineering, motor vehicles, chemicals and paper. Also thriving, although to a some- what lesser degree, are tex- tiles, food and building mate- rials. But costs' have been ris- ing in all industries, with 77 per cent of the firms reporting an increase, And as a result, selling prices are also" being forced upwards. Wage _in- creases, granted or pending, are causing manufacturers some anxiety. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 15, 1964. . ; The United Nations ended a two-week debate on The Congo situation three years ago today--in 1961--with the General Assembly approv- ing 60-16 a U.S. resolu- tion maintaining Secretary- General Dag Hammar- skjold's role. The vote also unged reconvening of the Congolese parliament. The assembly voted 61-5 to re- new its demand for with- drawal of all Belgian mili- tany and political personnel from The Congo. 1920--Sacco and Vanzetti were accused of murder. 1957--Government House at Victoria was burned in » $1,000,000 fire. BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO April 15, 1939 H. J. Canmichael, C. M. Mundy and Col. Frank Chappell were elected to the executive of the Ontario Boy Scout Associa- tion, Billy Taylor of the Oshawa Generals was something of a hero when he rallied the team, who were trailing the Verdun Maple Leafs, to a 4 to 2 victory to win the Eastern Canada Jun- ior Title and enter the finals for the Memorial Cup. In the first game of the playoffs Billy scored five goals to help defeat the Edmonton Roamers 9 to 4. Howard Kerr, teacher on the Oshawa schools staff, was elect- ed to the executive of the On- tario Educational Association. The first instalment of. city taxes was extended by City Council one week to April 24. Alex Browne was appointed to the Oshawa Welfare Board to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of A. N. Sharp. Oshawa's single unemployed men were cut off the relief lists. M. Mcintyre Hood was guest speaker at the Vimy banquet of Bowmanville district branch, No. 178, Canadian Legion, Hon. Gordon D. Conant, Col. Frank Chappell ang W. H. Moore, MP, were speakers at the annual Vimy banquet of Oshawa Branch 43, Canadian Legion. They joined in voicing their fears of the imminence of war, Land in the Oshawa area was sold to the Ontario Department of Highways for the proposed mew four-lane highway, OTTAWA REPORT Entertainers Earn . - More Than Leaders By PATRICK NICHULSON OTTAWA---Thirty years ago, a talented performer in. words and music wrote a hit song advising Dont's put your daughter on the stage, Mrs. Worthington. Since the Dirty Thirties when Noel Coward composed that ad- vice, many things have changed not least the rewards in the entertainment industry. Peter Sellers, perhaps the ranking and certainly the most prolific comic actor in films today, earns about $750,000 for making only six pic- tures a year. The Beatles draw around $1,000,000 per month in royalties and performance fees. Cassius Clay, now wearing the world heavyweight boxing crown, presumably is in a posi- tion to match the $880,000 which his predecessor, Sonny Liston, received for his last title fight. These huge earnings work out at about $25,000 per working 'week for a film star, and double that for a singer. In contrast, the prime minister of Canada draws $865 per week, the chief of our armed forces less than $500 per week, and the president of Canada's largest transporta- tion complex $1,345 per week. The president of the United States, who is the world's high- est-paid political chieftain, gets $1,925 per week. REWARD WRONG TALENTS Thus top politicians, indus- trialists and military brass, des- vite their training, experience and success, are financially out- stripped by the top entertainers. At least one of these lavishly- Airman Favors Old Art Style WINNIPEG (P) -- While other airmen engage in Spare time flying talk, RCAF Cpl. Russ Anderson soars in the imaginative world of sculpture. Since first becoming inter- ested in wood carving less than three years ago, at the RCAF station in St. John's, Que., he has progressed from small ani- mals through Indian figurines to serious works such as his recently - completed. Weeping Angel, Weeping Angel, a three-quar- ter size head and shoulders of a cowled figure expressing grief, took almost 300 hours of work. It is part of a Canadian Handicrafts Guild exhibition here. Like the airman's other works, it is in mahogany. Cpl. Anderson, posted at RCAF Sta- tion Winnipeg, uses a variety of tools that includes wood chisels, surgical instruments. He favors the style of the 15th century German sculptor Riem- erschnieder, which is reflected in his later works, and is cool to abstract art. "T am not inclined toward it," he says, "and feel that the whole purpose of art at its best is for a person to create an image that is satisfying both to his and to other people's im- agination. "Art, like everything else, can be progressive as long as it maintains identity and beauty," Cpl, Anderson, a native of Winnipeg, has. served with the merchant marine and army in a widely travelled career and also spent six years in the Man- itoba government service. Though basically interested in creating small sculptures, he says he hopes eventually to un- dertake larger work, perhaps working with granite since evenly grained wood in large sizes is difficult to obtain. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM The human body ts subject to many things that cause it to deteriorate, Just living will eventually wear it out. A writer says we should try too see good in everything. In many cases, though, this would cause eye strain. . ., "It's a mistake to assume women dress to please men or other women -- they dress primarly to please themselves", says a psychologist. Maybe so, but many had assumed they dress primarily to avoid em- barrassment. a pocket knife and - paid entertainers has shown that brains do not pave the road to riches. Cassius Clay has been rejected for service in the U.S. Army, reportedly after failing the arithmetic section of a men- tal aptitude test. The Pentagon announced that Clay is not qualified for induc- tion into the army under applic- able standards. Tests given Clay included measurement of aptitude for various skills needed in military service. Army spokesmen would not partioularize the tests which Clay failed, but gave samples of typical tests of arithmetic reasoning ability: 1, A man works from six in the morning to three in the afternoon, with one hour for jJunch. How many hours did he work? Choose the right answer yg (a), 7, (b) 8, (c) 9, (d) 2. A clerk divided a number by 3.5 when it should be multi- plied by 4.5. His answer is 3. What is the correct answer (a) 5.25, (b) 10.50, (c) 15.75, (d) 47,25? QUEEN'S PARK Cassius Clay's experience re calls the case of an applicant for a commission in the Royal | Air Force during the Second World War, In those days, there was an acute shortage of can- non - fodder; recruiting boards did not test a volunteer's eyes, they just counted them. After an oral examination, the board told one applicant: "You are too old to be a combat pilot; you are too fat-to become a turret gunner; you lack the experi- ence to be an administrative of- ficer; you have not the training required for an engineer of- ficer. We will appoint you as an intelligence officer." Noel Coward's advice would be unkind today. Mrs. Worth- ington should put her daughter on the stage. There is a rich future in the entertainment field for the fortunate ones who have singing talent, or a rubber face, or generous bust measurements, or merely a slick publicity agent, But the moral of the up. Our political and scientists and generals and doc- tors and school-teachers, who hold our health and prosperity and even our life in their hands surely should be able to earn a better livelihood. than some mop- headed or empty-headed clowns who merely entertain us fleet- ingly? Federal Attitude Less Stiff-Necked BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- One noteworthy development in federal-provin- cial relations has been a change in attitude by Ottawa. Historically the relations be- tween the two govern ments have been in an atmosphere of haggling. The provinces have alter- nately bellowed and begged. And Ottawa has had its nose in the air. It has been patronizing. The Pearson administration has altered this sharply. It has granted that the prov- inces have a right to be con- sulted. And it has made specific of- fers--such as its agreement to withdraw from shared programs --which are unusual, not only for the proposals themselves, but for the spirit of goodwill in which they are made. There are those who would Say that Mr. Pearson has been forced into this course by the pressures of his fellow Liberal, Premier Lesage of Quebec -- that any firm stand against Mr. Lesage would lose him his FrenchCanadian seats. SOME ENCOURAGEMENT Whatever the explanation, the development is hear: 5 The former spirit of federal- provincial negotiations really could not have been expected to produce more than stopgap answers. Discussions on the basis of GALLUP POLL recognition of mutual rights can bring about real progress. Centralists would perhaps not agree with this. At least some of these feel that Ottawa should not show any give but should merely force the provinces to knuckle under. Aside from the rudeness of this, it just isn't practical. The provinces are too strong constitutionally to be brow: beaten for a prolonged period. But let there be a spirit of goodwill, and men of goodwill around the table, and problems can be solved. ROBARTS SYMPATHETIC This new spirit was notice- able in Premier Robarts after his return from Quebec, Mr. Robarts was neither an- gry nor frustrated, as premiers in the past have been on re- turning from other conferences. The premier showed a sym- pathetic understanding for the problems of both Ottawa and Quebec, And with, this he é ing that he was lathes ee tario would emerge with some of its problems solved. It has been reassuring to wit- ness this. In fact, it is about the first time in the experience of the writer that one can look at the field of federal - provincial af- fairs and feel there is hope of real, long-term advances. Most Canadians Favor Joint Defence Effort By CANADIAN INSTITUTE of PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) A big majority of Canadians (67 per cent) think that the de- fence of Canada should be a joint effort with the United States while 17 per cent feel that this country should take full responsibility for defending herself. Just prior to Minister of De- fence Paul Hellyer's long-await- ed White Paper on Canada's new look in defence, Gallup Poll interviewers did a survey on how Canadians feel about our defence policies. Little mre than one in ten are in favor of complete disarmament, with Canada becoming a neutral country, Quebec shows the greatest number (20 per cent) in favor of neutrality and the fewest peo- ple (56 per cent) in favor of joint defence of Canada with the U.S, A large majority in Ontario (70 per cent) and the West (74 per cent) on the other hand, approve joint defence ef- forts with the U.S. Four choices were presented to the public in the following question: "Canada's defence polices are being argued about a good deal. Which of these statements comes closest to what you think Canada should do? 1 -- The U, S. should take re- ov for defending Can- 2 -- Canada should maintain her own defence . . . 3 -- Defence should be a joint oe between Canada and the 4 -- Canada should disarm and become 2 neutral nation?"
