Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 1965--PAGE 4 Mass TB Survey Success Rests On Co-operation Today, throughout the southern - half of Ontario county, a public health project of major importance gets under way. This is the Maas Tuberculosis Survey which is being undertaken by the Ontario County Tuberculosis and Health Associa- tion, with the co-operation of the Ontario Department of Health. The survey is being started to- day in all of the industrial plants in the municipalities being covered. It will be followed by the surveys in the schools of Oshawa and the rural schools. On May 25, the com- munity survey, in which all resi- dents of Southern Ontario county can take part, will be launched and will continue until the end of June. This. mass tuberculosis survey will only be as effective as the degree of public co-operation ob- tained by those in charge of it. This degree of co-operation wil] de- pend largely on the public under- standing of the campaign and con- fidence in those sponsoring it. The survey will present to the citizens of South Ontario an extra- ordinary opportunity to take stock of their own health and that of their families. By taking advantage of this chance to reassure them- selves of their freedom from TB infection, or to learn of any infec- tion in time to forestall a serious if not fatal affliction, those who par- ticipate in the survey will be serv- ing not only their own interests but the best interests of the whole com- munity. Wholehearted individual co- operation in this forthcoming health enterprise is a pre-requisite to the full realization of the ob- jectives of this combined attack on TB, a disease which continues to bring an unnecessary burden of suffering, grief and tragedy to many people. Every citizen of Osh- awa and the surrounding area should-jein with the committee in making certain that the battle against tuberculosis does fail in this district. not Value Of Education A survey made by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, based on the 1961 census, gives a very clear picture of the monetary advantages which can accure to individuals who | have had a university education. It also shows, 'to a proportionate degree, the extent to which a seondary school education can im- prove the prospects of individual citizens over those who have not gone heyond the elementary school. In a country in which, in apite of its present affluence, there is a regrettable degree of poverty be- cause of sub-standard incomes, the - significance o fthe figures produced is impressive. Taking the average for citizens between the ages of 25 and 44, the comparative figures, given in brief, tell their own story. The university- She Oshawa Fimes T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. €.

They prove beyond question that individual standards of living improve in proportion to the time spent in education and training This tells the story of the value of higher education in terms that can be understood by anyone. With that understanding, there could be a great decrease in the number of drop-outs from secondary schools before university level is reached.

MR.

He mentions that this third group's cultures: and traditions are being lost in the shuffle. 1 would like to ask who is he to speak for us on this subject when he himself was ashamed enough of his traditional name to change it.

But improving upon the hoodwinking technique of the slick salesman, it failed to add the price tag even in smal! print at the bottom of the document. Nor has any MP, even in critical comment, yet dared to put his own estimate on this program. Nevertheless, rushing into print where angelic ministers fear to speak, I have made a reasonable estimate of what this program would cost each year, if the words of the pro- gram mean wiiat the public are obviously expected to assume they mean The first group of proposals, in order of importance, relate to creating jobs for those work- ers displaced by automation, and fitting those workers for re employment. Two million jobs are expected to be taken over by machines in the next 10 years; this means that one- tenth of that number of work- ers must be retrained each year -- possibly through three month courses; 200,000 workers trained and given allowances for 13 weeks totals $260,000,000. One in eight of those will prob- ably need to relocate, with gov- ernment aid: Cost $25,000,000 Coupled with this will be a program to assist industrial development in backward areas cost $50,000,000 To raise the incomes of farm QUEEN'S PARK -families, including dairy farm- ers, and fishermen, the govern- ment will take various steps. . About half Canada's 750,000 farms today yield less than $1,200 a year in cash crops. The 30,000 whole-time fisher- man and some of the 50.000 oc- casional fishermen -- commer- cial catchers, that is, not you and me with our holiday tackle --will also get some help, Aid to dairy farmers has already been estimated at $67,500,000 by Agriculture Minister Harry Hays. WELFARE MEASURES High on the list is a national health plan, estimated by the Hall commission to: cost $2,676,- 000.000 next year, if launched. There is, also, increased aid to veterans families; a Canadian Assistance Plan Subject to a needs test; a retirement pro- gram for senators (this could average 16 ex-senators drawing $8,000 per year each.

Two proposals free of cost are officializing O Canada and im- porting the Constitution. I estimate the bill for this pr igo at $3,968,978,000. Te is we must add the estimated $568,000;000 bill for ese © sions, and Finance Minister Gordon's estimated government expenses at $6,924.676,787--total $11,461,654 ,787, exactly three times the cost of government in 1952. Can you afford this bill? Rural. Members' Duties Heavier By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- A lot of city members traditionally have presented the fact that their ridings have a lot more people in them than do those of rural members It probably has never been too clear even to the public at large why urban ridings should be so much larger than rural seals, (Traditionally here in Ontario rural ridings have had half the number of voters or less than urban seats) A good explanation of this was given to the committee on privileges and elections here when it was considering the proposed redistribution. Ross Whicher (Lib. - Bruce) was critical of new urban-rural ridings which the independent commission on redistribution has proposed 5 These ridings would average 55,000 population, as against an average of 65,000 in city seats and 35,000 in rural seats. Paper Praises U.K. Leadership New York Herald Tribune It often seems that Britain tin- derstands better than most. of our allies what it is the United States is trying to do, and why it must; perhaps this is partly because Britain herself faces similar problems (in Malaysia, for example), and partly, too, because the long years of Pax Britannica gave Britain a spe- cial understanding of the bur- dens of world leadership, In any case, it's an understanding for which Americans are grateful, and that 'gratitude extends to those in Britain's public life who have done so much to maintain and reinforce it. Quite spe- cifically and personally, it ex- tends to Lord Harlech, who Mr. Whicher doubted that a member would be able to give Proper service to the people ef such a riding. And to illustrate this he cited the contrast in the duties of a rural member as against an urban representative. His present riding of Bruce is rural, and he said that first of all everyone in the riding knows him and comes to him with their troubles. ' There are a number of muni- cipalities in the riding, and every reeve knows him by his first fame and also -- brings along troubles and problems. The riding is 150 miles long by 110 wide, which means not only a great deal of travelling but hundreds of miles of roads to look after. The city member, he says, has a local department of wel- fare to look after needy people. But one of the big responsi- bilities of the rural man is taking care of welfare cases. Then he has Hydro problems ~which in the cities are taken care of by local hydro or public utilities commissions. AND OTHER WORRIES And the rural man has road, lands and forests and agricul- ture problems with which the city member has no contact at all. And in addition, of course, he also has on his hands practi- cally all the obligations--hous- ban man The redistribution commis- sion, as has already been re- ported, is to hear public sub- missions and retonsider its re- port. One has the impression it will probably be glad to hear from Mr. Whicher and other rural men. For there has been the feeling it is not too happy with the new urban-rural designa- tion. proved himself a most ly attractive, energetic and bril- liant ambassador.
