THE OSHAWA TIMES, , Apell 21, 1966 OTTAWA (CP)--He is a self- confessed, longtime friend of the bottle, but enjoys "an oc- casional drink only." John M. (Jack) Gordon col- lects bottles. An estimated 1,500 of them, empty but in all shapes, sizes and colors, line the wall of his den and are stacked up ceiling- high in his basement. They are the product of a 20. year hobby. "It started with a few old bot- tles a relative gave me, and it just grew." He guesses it might cost him $10,000 to replace them but actually it's the last thing on his mind. "You .get to like them. I would even hate to part with my duplicates." Jack Gordon's bottles are a far cry from the glass con- tainers people handle daily at home, in the drug store and on Saturday nights. To him, these latter-day cre- ations of the machine, pro- duced in million - series, are hardly worth their nickel or two cents. His bottles, he says while his @yes caress an exceptionally voluptuous one, are works of art. They are beautifully hand- blown .with delicate hues of green, blue, aqua, amber and| purple. All but a few were made be- fore 1903--the year the bottle machine replaced one of the world's oldest crafts. They were blown into a shaped mold and the lip of the bottle was later formed and added by hand. That's how one can separate them from the machine-made bottles. With these the seam passes through the lip, and if that doesn't betray them, the bubbles in the glass would, he scoffs. Barn 65 years ago in Cardi- gan, P.E.I., Mr. Gordon de- votes most of his time to his bottle collection since he re- tired a few months ago as proof reader with an Ottawa newspa- Der. He came to the capital in 1937 from Balgonie, Sask., where he taught school. His wife, the former Robyna Mc- Kenzie of Staughton, Sask., "isn't too interested in my hobby but she's pretty good about 'it."" Industrial. Expansion Objective For Romania Romania has decided that oti between their de- the key to future develop- ment of the country is in- dustrial expansion rather than agriculture. Canadian Press_reporter_ John Rest, who visited Romania during a tour through Eastern Eu- rope, reports in this story that the decision was based largely on nationalistic and patriotic grounds. By JOHN BEST BUCHAREST (CP) -- Ro- mania provides a communist example of an underdevel- oped country scrambling to catch up with the industrial- ized world. It started from a more ad- vanced base than most coun- tries of Africa and Asia, but nevertheless the same emo- tional and psychological in- gredients are at work. "Modern states are states that are developed indus- trially," says a leading Bu- charest editor. "Backward countries are agricultural countries," dis- dainfully adds a government official. "The advanced coun- tries are the industrialized countries." Spokesmen are not im- pressed with the argument that some countries have achieved an extremely high standard of living by special- izing in agriculture. You suggest that on strictly economic grounds Romania would be better off to concen- trate on agriculture--it is a country richly endowed with good farming land--and you get a conversation - stopping reply such as: "Look--only we Romanians know what is best for Ro- mania." REASON WAS POLITICAL And of course the official who said this was putting his finger precisely on the reason behind this country's entire development policy: indus- trialization is needed for its own saxe, to make Romania "modern." The decision to go full speed ahead with industrial- ization was a political one, pased largely on nationalistic and patriotic factors. The program began in ear- nest in 1960. It was viewed with misgivings by the Soviet Union, which had begun to form an integrated East Eu- ropean economy in which Ro- mania's chief role was to supply food and raw ma- terials for industrial coun- tries like Czechoslovakia and East Germany. The Romanians see a direct termination to develop their economy the way they want to and their right to political independence. "Deny 2 country economic independence and you deny it sovereignty," says a high Ro- manian government official. When it came to justifying their position on -theoretical grounds the Romanians glee- fully, cited the words of Lenin himself: "The only material basis of socialism is me- chanized industry exclu- sively." U.S.S.R. SET EXAMPLE As for the out-manoeuvred but still-protesting Russians, Romanian leaders could throw at them the experience of Soviet Russia itself, where heavy industry has always re- ceived priority over agricul- ture and where to this day agriculture is a severe and expensive drag op the econ- omy. In the 1960-65 period, says the Romanian government, 502 new enterprises were built and the same period witnessed a phenomenal in- dustrial growth of 225 per cent, Experts caution that such a growth rate, while impres- sive, has to be measured against the fact that Romania was starting from a relatively low base. In the five - year period 1965 to 1970, from an average annual rate of 14.5 per cent, it is expected to taper off to a still-respectable 10.5. The men who provide the push for Romania's sink-or- swim development program are a self-confident lot, full of patriotic zeal and generally not inclined to worry too much about problems which today's mammoth develop- ment will impose upon tomor- row. Many independent observers have wondered where Ro- mania is going to dispose of the heavy equipment and ma- chinery which it is turning out now when its own devel- opment needs are met and it sits with a modern industrial plant facing a strongly com- petitive world market. "Sure we'll be able to com- pete," says Ion Laceanu, commercial director of a shiny new machine tool fac- tory on the outskirts of Bu- charest. "even now we are able to export, and we are just beginning." TRAINED IN SKILLS Guiding a Canadian re- porter through his busy, well- your Travel Agent.

COLOR RE-NU DYE AWAY FADED and SOILED COLORS lighted plant, Laceanu drew attention to a 12-ton lathe produced in the Soviet Union. The Romanians, taking ad- vantage of a licensing ar- rangement, had adapted their own model from it. This year they expected to export 20 such lathe models to the So- viet Union. Romania imports machine tools under similar licensing arrangements from several Western countries. Most responsible Romanian authorities admit that the task of competing on the world market will not be an easy. one in many branches of 'production -- especially for a country where everything is collectivized down to shoe- shine men and where only now are some much-needed, efficiency-inspiring market in- fluences being introduced into the economic structure. Independent observers say the productivity of Romanian workers is decidedly low by Western standards. To help meet the problem, many of the newer factories have their own schools at which the latest technical and engineering skills are taught. Delegations are sent abroad to study Western market de- mands. SEE MARKET IN RUSSIA In developing its industry Romania also has in mind the needs of the underdeveloped 6 TEP EAe gta et countries of Asia and Africa. Besides, if it can't sell in the West it can presumably always turn around and re-di- rect more of its trade to the less fussy East, particularly the huge receptive market of Russia. However, this would undoubtedly mean a concur- rent turning - back in its cherished pursuit of complete political independence. Romanian officials admit that in their eagerness to in- dustrialize the country they have to some extent neglected agriculture, which however in as richly endowed a farming country as this can always be expected to produce, and has kepi producing, enough food- stuffs not only for the domes- tic population but for export as well. More attention will be paid to agriculture in the new five- year plan. Investment in this sector is scheduled to in- crease by 60 per cent while production of chemical fer- tilized is scheduled to in- crease 344 times. HORSE HAS FRACTURE BOWIE, Md. (AP) -- Lucky Debonair, sidelined most of last year after winning the Kentucky Derby, is going back to the farm with a hairline fracture in the right front leg. Lucky Debonair finished last in Satur- day's $100,000 Campbell Handi- cap at Bowie. He was limping afterward and x-rays uncovered the fracture.

The new estimate is 73 per cent higher than the original es- timate of $47,534,000 made in 1963, The corporation's general manager said the main reason for the increased that Expo will be much bigger than originally envisaged. Mr. Kniewasser made the an- nouncement ata press confer- ence following approval by the federal government, the govern- ment of Quebec, the city of Montreal and the board of di- rectors of the exhibition corpo- ration, of a new "master plan" for Expo 67. 3 SHARE COSTS Under the terms of the 1967 World Exhibition Act, the net cost is shared 50 per cent by the federal government, 3714 per cent by the provincial gov- ernment and 12% per cent by the city of Montreal. The new estimate will mean a cost to the federal govern- ment of $41,400,000, to the pro- vincial government of $31,000,- 000, and to the city of Montreal | $10,300,000.
