She Oshawa Times | 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Confederation Exhibits To Tell Canada's Story "A common complaint is that Canadians generally know far too ttle about the history of their country -- its heroes, its great fhoments of drama, and its quiet achievements, One of the more imaginative Centennial projects should do much to help remedy the deficiency. This project is the send- ing out of a Confederation Train and Confederation Caravans. » In the words of the Centennial Commission, the Confederation Train will begin a journey in Janu- ary, 1967, that will take it across the thousands of miles that separate Canada's east and west coasts. It will carry the story of Canada to the people, and Canadians will be treated to an unusual display de- picting Canada's progress from colony to nation, combining its historical and social achievements and the economic and scientific ac- complishments which have earned it.a high ranking among the na- tions of the world. Confederation was built on the vision of a country that would ex- tend from the Atlantic to the Pacific, One of the factors that helped to make a reality of the vision was the building of a trans- continental railway. The Confedera- tion Train, then, is a particularly apt vehicle for the telling of the Canadian story. But much of Can- ada cannot be reached in this way. To the people in those areas not served by the Train will.go Con- federation Caravans. : Each caravan will include eight to ten motor vehicles. The big trailers pulled by trucks will hold the exhibits. They will begin to fan out across the nation, covering every province and the territories, in May of the centennial year. It is expected that aproximately 680 stops will be made over a period of six months, and that a total of 34,000 miles will be travelled by the end of October. Each caravan is conceived as a miniature fair which will carry a variety of ex- hibits and various activities de- signed to suport a visit lasting several hours. Millions of Canadians will get the chance to view the exhibits. We hope they take advantage of it. More 'Limited' Action The Turks had been threatening for months tof intervene on behalf of their beleaguered compatriots on €yprus; the treaty which brought independence to the island gave them the right to do so. But they did nothing more than threaten until Jast weekend, when they launched air attacks against Greeks attacking the last Turkish strong- hold on Cyprus, and against villages in the vicinity which undoubtedly sheltered or served as bases' for the Greeks. *. One cannot but note the similar- ity between the Turkish strike and that of the United States against North Vietnam, and it is fair to ask if one inspired the other. They happened within days of each other. Both the Americans and the Turks said they did not seek a wider war. It became more and more obvious as last week drew to a close that the punitive American action was hot going to spread the conflict in Southeast Asia. The Turks may well have noted that, and decided fhey could risk a similar "limited" action, particularly when it ap- peared that if they delayed much longer the Turkish-Cypriot posi- tion might be overrun and the reason for intervention thus re- moved. In the long run, the Turkish ac- tion may have a salutary effect. Certainly it should shake the UN out of its midsummer's night dream about Cyprus and the threat it poses to world peace. It exposes in a ruthless way the inadequate ' aproach sponsored by Secretary General Thant and the impossible conditions imposed on the UN's "peace-keeping" force on the island. Also exposed -- once again -- was the island's evil genius, Makar- ios, who immediately appealed to Soviet Russia and the United Arab Republic for help. It is ap- parent that no stable settlement of the Cyprus problem can be reach- ed with this man playing a major role in negotiations. The settle- ment must be reached between Greece and Turkey, and it must be imposed on Makarios. Older Workers' Jobs * From. information made. public on the results of Ottawa's pro- gram to encourage employment of older workers, it appears that most of the benefits have gone to the government employees who have administered the program, com- mentator C. J. Harris notes. * The following is an _ excerpt from the Labor Gazette: "By March 31, 1964, expiry date for hir- ing under the program, 1,811 work- érs aged 45 or over had been hired under the Older Worker Employ- ment and Training Incentive pro- gram -- Under the provisions. of this program, the Department of Labor pays 50 per cent of monthly wages or $75 a month to employ- érs hiring eligible workers, aged 45 or older, for new jobs in em- ployment which is insurable under The Oshawa Times T.

No doubt workers helped into jobs by this program were grate- ful -- although few in number, and many of them might have secured employment in any event. But cost of the program to taxpayers is disturbing. At $75 per month per worker for the six months up to last March 31 that the program had been operating, the wage subsidy could have cost $815,000 at the outside. But the federal budget estimates the pro- gram's cost at $5,000,000. In other words, the cost of administration was about four times the cost of the wage supplemnt. For the relatively few jobs provided over the six-month period, taxpayers put up more than $2,700 per job. Other Editors' Views COMMUNICATIONS PROBLEM Hamilton Spectator Someone decided a few years ago that at the bottom of a lot of trou- ble in the world was the inability of people to "communicate." If we could only grasp what the other fel- low was getting at the world would be illuminated with understanding. There was nothing new in the idea, but it was not long before "commun- icating" became yet anot hs? empty cliche, a darling on the lips of theor- ists. ; , REPORT FROM U.K. Pensioners Care Subject Of Debate By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For the Oshawa Times LONDON -- The problem of providing suitable accommoda- tion for elderly people is a pressing one in nearly every large city in Britain, This has caused some division of opinion as to whether they should be cared for in old people's homes, or provided with living accom- modation at moderate rentals. There is not complete agree- ment on which is the best method of caring for aged pen- YOUR HEALTH sioners, but there is genuine concern for their welfare, and considerable study is being de- voted to finding the best solu- tions. Councillor James Butcher, deputy Mayor of the town of Reading, in Berkshire, is one local government official who has been devoting his attention to this problem. He had put forward a scheme to his cwn town council aimed at the building of six-storey blocks of small apartments specially de- signed to meet the needs of old Heart Palpitation Causes Discussed By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD. Dear Dr. Molner: What about palpitation of the heart? I get this quite often, and I'm terri- fied. Does this mean I have a bad heart? It's a terrible feel- ing. I feel as if I'm smothering. Can one die from this?--FAN. By far the majority of these "palpitation" cases turn out to be the result of: 1--Excessive coffee or other stimulants. 2 --Sometimes excessive smoking. 3--Jangling nerves, with or without the two factors above. Such things as an overactive thyroid, or "'pep pills," or some of the apetite depressants used by unwary dieters, are other possibilities. The majority of such suffer- ers have averagely good hearts. That is to say, they may have good hearts or sometimes de- fective hearts, but either way such conditions have little if anything to do with the palpi- tations, The nervous system has a great deal to do with heart action. Excitement or fear can make it speed up. If, as is quite common, you begin to worry about this speeding up or palpi- tation, then your fear makes your heart keep on beating rap- idly, and-yeu have a vicious cycle. The feeling of "smother- ing' and of weakness is not at all unusual, but these result from fear or nerves rather than from any effect caused by the organ itself. True, there are cases in which palpitation is related to some real heart defect, but these are exceptions rather than the rule. My suggestion is for people who are worried about palpitation to go to the 'doctor and have such examin- ation and tests as he needs. If there: is something wrong, now is the time to find out and begin taking care of it. . If, as more often happens, you learn that there is nothing wrong with your, heart, then stop worrying. ' Dear Dr. Molner: A friend of mine died last year after a gall bladder operation. The third day following surgery she went into shock. The doctor there was no: way to foresee this and' sometimes nothing could be done to stop it, as in her case. Now I am afraid to have such an operation, She was 64 and otherwise in good health. I am 46 and have high blood pres- sure, am too fat and have arthritis--MRS. AB. ; No operation is without risk. There is always some, however slight. Classic examples have A said , been deaths from having a tooth pulled. This we cannot deny. Yet the risk has been grow- Ing constantly smaller as the years pass. If an operation is needed, it should not be avoided because of this slight risk. To do so would be like refusing to have surgery because of the danger of being shot by a bandit, run over by an automo- bile or hit by 'lightning while going to the hospital. Those are real, though slight, risks, too. Dear Dr. Molner: Can the hormone testosterone be ob- tained without a prescription? Is it safe to use without a doc- tor's 'supervision? What is the proper dosage?--OEW. First, you need a prescrip- tion. Second, it can do mischief. if not properly used. And third, there can be sug- gested dosages of most medi- cations, but that is merely an approximate guide. People are not all alike, and they react differently. Proper use of ANY medication is based on watch- ing to see how the patient re- sponds, whether any unwanted effects appear, or whether a moderate increase in dosage is likely to be useful or tolerated. people in large towns through- out the country. WOULD COST LESS Mr. Butcher is secretary of the James Butcher Housing Association. This is a voluntary committe dealing with the probl of the housing of pen- sioners in Reading. He has placed his plan before the local borough council. Mr. Butcher believes that the blocks "of small apartments would replace public institutions and would cost less than ter- raced bungalows. In them, old people would be "centralized," and this would make it easier for welfare workers to 'ook after them. After talking over his ideas with officiais of the ministry of housing. Mr. Butcher. said: "They showed considerable interest, but I think that the main push will have to be made by local authorities before there will be any significant backing from the housing ministry." Mr. Butcher says he would like to see his scheme started in Reading, possibly as a model for the rest of the country, He says the situation is particu- larly acute in his» own town, because there are in it more than 2,000 pensioners living alone in houses. It is found very difficult for welfare workers to keep in touch with them all, as they are widely scattered. SCHEME IN HOLLAND Said Mr. Butcher: "IT recently went to Holland with members of the association to see the multi-storied apart- ments for old people there, and we were very much impressed. We are convinced that this is the answer to Britain's problem for housing old folks." The apartments he proposes would have elevators. Active pensioners would occupy the top floors and the lower rooms woulq be reserved for the in- firm. They would pay a nominal rent and contribute towards their meals. Finally. said: "Building land is at a pre- mium in Reading and these apartments would provide more accommodation for the money available. It would allow tenants to move in their own furniture, and they would feel happier than in institutions." Councillor Butcher LIQUID FRIDGE Oceans may become the world's refrigerators.

Coleman roll- ed the first bowl of the official opening of the new Oshawa Lawn Bowling Clubhouse and greens, situated at the west end ot [Coiborne street. President Dr' J. Langmaid welcomed the visitors, _ William Elliott, retired detec- tive - inspector of the Toronto Police Department, was select- ed to be Chief of Police at Whitby. The contract was awarded to a Toronto firm for the installa- tion of modern street lights for the business section of the town of Whitby. Dr. David S. Hoig, dean of Oshawa"s medical staff, died in the Oshawa General Hospital, which he had assited in found- ing. He was in his 86th year. Mayor Fred T. Rowe of Whit- by gave the freedom' of the town to the members of the Ontario Volunteer Firemen's Association when the 38th con- vention of that group was held in Whitby. Thieves broke into the J. F. Carnawith residence on King street east and escaped with $300 worth of jewellery and siiver. Dr. and Mrs. Carr were hon- ored by fellow members of Northminster United Church on the occasion of their leaving for Dr. Carr's' new practice in Cookstown. ' J. Owen Herity, district gov- ernor of Rotary Internaiional District 168 and former Belle- ville newspaper publisher, ad- dressed the Whitby Rotary Club on "Our Changing Civilization." Mayor J. A. Coleman with Alderman Ernie Cay, Post- master Frank Mathison and City Engineer 0. G. Miller, visited the new Kitchener Post Office and approved the plans of it for use in the proposed Oshawa Post Office. Cc. F. Cannon, inspecto; of Oshawa Public Schools, was transferred to a York County inspectorate. OTTAWA REPORT 'Garden Of Gulf" Fine Holiday Spot By PATRICK NICHULSON OTTAWA -- The Prince Ed- ward Islander is unswervingly loyal, but needlessly modest about his home province. The typical expatriate in Ottawa wraps himself in a calm confi- . dence that his island home en- joys a way of life which is far superior to the rat-race of cen- tral Canada, -but says little about it. Take Heath Macquarrie, for example. He has become so well liked and respected in Ot- tawa, so prominent on Parlia- . ment Hill, that, it is hard to be- lieve that he was first elected by the voters of Queens only seven years ago. Mr. Macquarrie is learned-- @ university professor; experi- enced--seven years an able and fully participating member of the House of Commons; worldly wise--as parliamentary secre- tary to Canada's foreign minis- ter in the last government, In short, he exudes that aura of stability and common sense which we in other parts of Can- Indian Reserve Plans Outlined OTTAWA (CP) -- Canada's women Indian chiefs will be asked to help in the federal gov- ernment's $3,500,000 community development program for In- dian reserves, says the head of the citizenship department's In- dian affairs division. Walter Rudnicki said in an interview that several women chiefs and a number of women councillors are among the lead- ers of Canada's 2,200 Indian re- serves. "We will definitely look fot participation by such women in our program." The three - year development program is still in the planning stages and will be the first of its kind-in Canada. Like similar programs in the United States and Mexico, it will attempt to take into con- sideration all aspects of com- munity life. "It will help to make existing health, welfare and education programs more effective." The cultural affairs section of the program is to be made up largely of Indians, with the "highest degree of Indian auton- omy as its objective." Six. Indians are to be ap- pointed to the headquarters staff of this section with others in regional positions. Encour- agement will be given to artists, sculptors and dancers with bur+ saries set up for higher educa- tion as well. "The public image of the In- dian is the tom-tom dancer at the fair, but this is like looking at the upper tenth of the ice- berg. There is'enormous poten- tial which we hope to bring out among Indians." READERS' VIEWS AID TO SUKARNO Dear Sir: No doubt the blood pressure of some Canadian taxpayers went up when they learned that aid to Indonesia this year will have a, value of about $350,000. This was later revised by Mr. Pearson, the Prime Minister, to $400,000 in the form of flour and wheat. If this is not assisting this playboy ruler, President Sukarno,- to wage war on Malaysia, we don't know what is! Perhaps the most shocking re- port of toadying to this dictator, is an article in The Shreveport Times, (Feb. 23, 1964) which states: "On wine, women and whoopee -- a congressional in- vestigating committee is poring over some astounding State De- partment documents: revealing that arrangements were made to supply Sukarno with what amounted to a harem of 'call girls' during his junkets to the U.S. in 1956, 1960 and 1961," Space will not allow me to give the rest of the sordid de- tails of this tawdry effort to "accommodate". It did not prove successful as the Indo- nesian playboy ruler is clearly shown by the recent test launch- ing by his airforce of powerful Soviet anti-aircraft missiles _ of the type that downed the U-2 reconnaissance plane during the Eisenhower administration. Wiht U.S. aid of about $900 million dollars to date, and be- ing fed by Canada, is it not surprising that Sukarno is mak- ing constant unprovoked attacks on Malaysia? G. W, CHINNERY. TODAY IN | HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Aug. 12, 1964... The United States annexed Hawaii after being re- quested to do so by the island republic 66 years ago today--in 1898. Hawaii suc- ceeded in its long bid for statehood in 1959 when it became the 50th state. 1941--President Roosevelt ° and Prime Minister Church- ill 'met at sea to draft the Atlantic Charter. 1942--Churchill met Stalin in Moscow where they re- a'firmed their alliance against the Axis powers en- gaged in the Second World ar. ada properly regard as the hallmark of the Maritimer. Now Heath, in a rather low' key, has for years been quietly re me that P.E.I. is a won- derful place to take the family for a summer holiday: restful, > ghana healthy and inexpen- sive. Alas, in my case, he has not proven himself an effective salesman. But now I suddenly notice one of the more familiar fig- ures around Parliament Hill, sun-tanned, happy, looking ten years younger and ten pounds more sylphlike. Where did he find the foun- tain of eternal youth? I asked. FREE TOURIST AD "I've been to Prince Edward Island," he confided in me smugly at once becoming an effective salesman for that modest spot in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. "I couldn't nave had a better holiday anywhere, and by 'heavens it's different!" Driving to P.E.I., he checked into a simple but adequate cabin, which appeared typical of the island though of a style and cost which has alas been rendered obsolete by the plush turnpike caravanserais of to- day. It was, he assures me,less than 100 feet from the welcom- ing and refreshing waters of the Northumberland Strait. Its cost, he said, was $25 per week. He drove around the pretty little island, enjoying the at- mosphere, and sampling meals ranging from good to delicious at various places, One motel with restaurant he QUEEN'S PARK A casual customer, he en- joyed there a dinner of home- made pea soup, two lobsters, a garden salad and coffee--quite ee ere served in ing surroundings, and the bill was $1,25. DO WE STAND ON GUARD? Another evening he returned, to find the dining room filled by a Parent-Teachers gather- ing. 'Believe me, they do things differently in PEL" he com- mented, "That was no staid serious talkfest, but a jolly eve- ning. After dinner they gath- ered round the piano and sang songs. The most le for me consisted of w which, although familiar to the sing- 'ers, I had never heard before and would dearly like to re- capture--something about pea soup spreading all over Canada, and the frog standing astride the beaver." This merry topical jingle was belted out by the islanders to the tune of O Canada. Then there is the endearing treatment of alcohol. This has been a banned and almost dirty . subject in P.E.I. until very re- cently, when 90 - day permits were initiated for serving drinks in cocktail lounges and with meals. Once an order of wine re- sulted in the charming waitress embarrassedly inviting the cus- tomer to draw the cork himself, since she did not know how; a request for a Manhattan was met by the frank question "what do you put in that?" Fellow visitors? Charming, and all delighted by their re- ception as they made holiday in the Cradle of Confederation as visitors from all parts of Canada and the United States. Private Pension Portability Aim BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The always com- plex - question of pensions is particularly confusing these days. We have had the provincial premiers agreeing to a Toronto meeting later this year to dis: cuss national portability; we have an Ontario Pension Bene- fits Act which becomes effec- tive on Jan, 1, and for which regulations have just been an- nounced, and we have the na- tional] pension plan still in the development stage. ONTARIO PROGRAM To try and sort this. out for you briefly: The Ontario program is now strictly a program of regulation over private pension plans, which in future will be supple- mentary to the national plan, Its chief feature is that it provides for guaranteed vesting of all contributions in employ- ees, the employers' payments as well as their own, under specified conditions. (Essen- tially when an employee is 45 and has had 10 years of con- tinous service.) It also keeps a watch over the solvency of plans, and speci- fies how and where the money in funds can be invested. CANADA PLAN Originally the Ontario pro- gram provided that all employ- GALLUP POLL ers, with 15 or more employees, must have pension plans with at least minimum benefits as of Jan. 1. With the development of the Canada plan this provision was taken out of the act. It was no longer needed as the Canada plan will ensure that every worker will have minimum cov- erage. The Canada plan is now at the stage where there has been agreement it will be procecded with, but with many details still to be worked out. Among these details are the mechanics of investing the money the fund will accumulate (it has been promised that this money wil] be available to the provinces); how provinces who want to administer their own plans will do so, and how exist- ing plans will be tied in with the national program. THE PROVINCES The Toronto meeting of the. provinces on pensions will dis- cuss whether and how other provinces will adopt Ontario's legislation. Only if they do so will pen- sions (private pensions, that is, which are supplementary to the national pension) be truly port- able across Canada. Ontario is the only province to have -portable legislation now. But all other provinces have expressed strong interest. People Still Dislike Having Woman As Boss By THE CANADIAN INSTITUT. OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Career women have still to face the fact that peaple just don't like working for women bosses. Ten years of business progress leaves public opinion on this situation almost exactly the same today as it was in 1954. Howevever, women can find some satisfaction in the fact .that considerably more people today say it makes no difference whether they are bossed by a man or a woman than felt this way in the early fifties.
