Examinrr Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Hayfield Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher Brian Slsight General Manager MONDAY JANUARY ill 4m Planning Oi Federal Grant Amateur Sport The Canadian Government some time ago announced an annual gift of $5 mii lion to promote amateur sport in Can ada The idea is indeed commendable if it is pro erly administered The mech anlcs of is distribution are yet to be revealed and if the distribution is to be equitable fair and effective some deefi research and planning by great minds wi be required There have been many comments made rd and con and already numerous re ues have gone forward all rejected undil the plan is set up One of these came from the Galt team which will re resent Canada in the March world hoc key championships in Colorado In order to compete with Russia the Czechs the Swedes and even the US team it is nec essary torecruit extra players in Can ada to bolster the Gait team This re quires money and it seems that some help could have been coming from the fund by waving aside red tape on this special occasion However deepthink publication The Printed Word had some mild comment on the matter of the fund itself and found at least one reader in irate pro test The Word bounced back with the suggestion that perhaps todays young today Needs Care athletes are too mollycoddled Of course they are as compared to the young hoc key or baseball player of 50 years ago and less They went out and got their own equipment worked to clear ponds for shinny gbmes delivered papers to pay expenses Of course there are many of our oung people do justexactly that ut not nearly as in The Word comments The real point is that in those days young people partic ularly the young people in the small towns and country places had to find their own amusements and develop their own health and welfare There was neith er radio nor TV and even the movies were onl beginning to impinge on the leisure the people It is quite possible that the fact that there is so much money so many oppor tunities to be mere spectators of spofing events is the real reason why gh jumper from Peru or discus thrower from Costa Rica grabs off someof the prizes at the Olympic Games Why train for worldrecord sprints as Eobby Kerr of Hamilton did 50 or 60 years ago when you can just sit and watch somebody else sweating around the track or playing out there in the mud dy field hy Do They LeaVe The number of persons leaving Can ada as emigrants may be greater than thetnumber entering Canada as immig ran The preliminary figure in the Bank of Canadas Statistical Review for three rponth eriod would seem to indicate that more an 26000 persons emigrated from Canada This would be about twice as man as came in Possi ly the one per cent margin of error that statisticians allow themselves might account for this figure The Mon treal Gazette behaves Yet it raises one of Canadas most difficult problems If for whatever reasons immi ration dro emigration may tend to rse And is country which needs people may have to rely upon the margin of births over deaths The loss of the population through emigration is of course mostly to the United States the Montreal writer con tinues During the 10 years from1921 to 1931 emigration over the border amounted to almost million Canadians total of 925000 During the 15 years from 1941 to 1958 it amounted to 335 000 still large total though only somewhat over third of that for 1921 31 In the 10 years from 1946 to 1956 the total was 300000 of whom 239000 were nativeborn Canadians it Would be interesting to have an analiylsis of what sort of Canadians are leav the coun It might well be found that distur in high percentage of them are highly tra ned people seek ing the larger opportunities The limited scope of researchbeing carried out in Canada is cause of the loss of many scientists The tendency of companies in Canada to engage foreign professional advice in many fields has restricted opportunities in many direc tions it would be sad fact if many of those whom we train in our universities to meet the needs for higher skills feel that they ultimately have to leave the country if they are to use their training to best advantage Other Editors Views MAY PROVE ILLUSORY Chatham News It is probable that Canadian union lea ders in general are elated over the fact that after an Oshawa strike lasting only two days the United Automobile Work are settled for substantial increases in wages and fringe benefits For other un ions the gains can be pointed to as pattern for contract renewals The UAW itself held victory dance mainly to celebrate the fact that their agreement battered the terms of those just made in the US industry dition to wage hike of 18 cents in mum over three years retirement pen sions were nearly doubled and the com pany assumes full cost of hospital and medical expenses rather than half the cost as previously Commenting on the new contract Fra ser Robertson financial columnist of the Toronto Globe and Mail quotes that the automobile industry is the second largest employer in Canadian manufacturing and that the recent Bladen Royal Commis sion report on the industry emphasized that it will face for along time to come intensive world competition by highly ef ficient lower wage foreign car makers Canadian automobile manufacturers and the closely allied parts makers Dean Bladen found have been having ro gresswely more difficulty stayin in us iness He heard many sugges ons for cures and came up with roposals of his own designed to protect industry the nation and car buyers If these proposals are to be of any use the industry will need to relate its costs closely to productivity Any alter The Barrie Examiner Autnoxiisd of second

the lose their jobs what advantage is it to ave negotiated pension plan erative at age 65 The public gener might ask itself if the automobile workers are entitled to jeopardize an industry that is vital to the economy so soon after ask ing Dean Bladen to recommend national sacrifices to preserve the industry High wages but no work would indeed be an illusory sort of victory PERTINENT QUESTIONS

Canadians War babies and wheat he be hind two important reports upon the state of our economy which our Dominion Bureau of Statis tics issued just before Christ mus One was widely heralded as welcome Christmas glftto our government because it reported big increase in our national productivity and in our export soles in contrast the other which reported our November employment was treated as quite unimportant This column does not share these assessments and believes that readers would also take very different views on learn ing the basic facts First let us look at that em ployment report which showed that the number of unemployed had fallen by 80000 in Novem ber compared to the previous November But 46000 new work ers had been added to our stead ily growing labor force an in fact the number of jobs avail able in Canada had been in creased by an impressive 126 000 during the year WARBABY TIDE This reminds us of the very significant point that to reduce our actual number of unem ployed our economy must not only create jobs to absorb those currently without work but must also create yet more jobs to absorb the swelling number nf warbabies now entering our labor force The immense importance of this flood of warbabies can be grasped by the barest figures In the past four years more than 500000 workers have been added to Canadas labor force Jobs had been found forestag gering 430000 of these up to Novenber last In contrast during the post war conversion period between 1946 and 1950 only 334000 were added to our work force and only 810000 new jobs were cre ated desipite the great consum er spending spree of those years In contrast again during the four years 195155 which in cluded the Korean armaments boom only 957000 new jobs were created in all Canada while 387000 more workers sought jobs The achievement of our econ omy during the past four years when our gre neighbor was passing throng two recessions and hence inevitably exporting some unemployment to Canada was thus very healthy indeed Against the background of those previous fouryear stretches the past four years have been by for our best period since the war when measured by that im portant yardstick of the num ber of new jobs created for Ca nadian workers Little wonder then that Cuna dinns are today carningmore spending more and saving more than ever before Little wonder too that Labor Minister Mike Starr has acquired such sound reputation Today In History By This CANADIAN mass With the end of another full year And the start of fresh new one near From mistakes of the last Let us build on the past

running slightly ahead of 1960 the two very important lndices of economic expansion namely new machinery and in dustrial construction were both down This trend could well be tho first backwash oi the creation of the European Common Mer kct as US shifts its branch plant emph sis from Canada into Europe This will hit Can aria very hard if we remain on the outside looking in Our exports showed much herulded increase in the first eight months of 1961 But ex ports to our two best customers USA and Britain dipped slightly Our sales to the pros pering European Common Mar ket snared so did our sales to Japan so did our sales to Com munist China on the precarious basis of big wheat deal Exports of our important staples newsprint lumber cop per aluminum and uranium dropped Wheat sales soared But our manufactured goods which contain the most signifi cant labor content did not Our exports were aided by the desirable elimination of the ar tificial exchange premium on our dollar But our export

Young Children Have Their Tricks By DR JOSEPH MOLNEB Dear Dr Molnar Can parents do anything to stop children from rocking on mlr bands Ind knees in We have four children mar eldest daughter now six finally stopped bumping in bed when she was five The next one fouryear cldboy is still going strong as is our three year old daughter And now the baby boy just eight months old recentlyxgot up on his knees and started rocking when the last and started could have cried to think of going through another four or five years of crib rocking And the AhAhAh sound they make 1rs RH Most young children have one sort of trick or another In this instance its no oddson chance that each child has learned it from another Well when you have four little ones there isnt much chance of keeping them all in separate rooms is there Bublcs in case you after having four dont know it have ways of making it known if they are unhappy Thcy cry whimper sometimes moon or lie in silent obvious pain They dont bounce in bed and ohccrily chirp if thcy are sick Your little ones are not on happy or unhealthy They are having fun with trick they happened to acquire So here are my suggestions Dont let their bouncy fun worry you Its perfectly normal behavior Maybe your husband can find some way to fasten their cribs down light so you dont hear them squeak rattle or bump Do you shut the door to the childrens room if not try It Maybe you are trying too hard to be good parents and think you have to hear every little exuberant sound they make Be glad you how such healthy energetic kids EMBAIMER KC

hiclNTYRE HOOD Special London England Correspondent for The Barrie Examiner EDINBURGH Scotland committee of influential and dis tinguished Scots headed by the Earl of Alilie and Lord Boyd Orr with 18 other members is undertaking the task of finding out exactly what the Scottish people want in the way of gov ernment The committee has launched an appeal to raise sum of $290000 to finance the taking of national plebiscite of the whole of Scotland on this vexed subject The plebiscite will be carried out by postal vote its inten tion is to submit three alterna tive forms of government for Scotland to every adult male and female in their country so they can express their views on how Scotland should be govern ed and what the form of gov ernment should be The plebis cite supervised by British and Board THE THREE QUESTIONS The three alternatives for which the people of Scotland will be asked to state their pre ference are as follows Independent Dominion sta tus for Scotland with its own parliament separate from West minster similar to that enjoy ed by New Zealand Home Rule for Scotland within the framework of the United Kingdom with Scotland having its own parliament like that of Northern irelnnd but still having its presentation in the House of Commons The third alternative is that the government of Scot land should remnin exactly as it is now This move to have national plebiscite taken in Scotland is entirely nonpolitical The 15 members of the committee in clude Conservatives Labor sup porters and Liberals They are not in any way associated with the Scottish Nationalist move ment which has been active for years in seeking home rule for the country But the is repre sent wide section of Scotlands life and character All hold high offices and positions They have attached their names to petition setting out their aims as private individuals In this the signatories say This question is at least one of the important issues of our time for those who care about Scotland But it is unlikely to be settled in the ordinary way at the polls since the issue at general election is what gov ernment should be returned for the whole United Kingdom in terms of the present situation We feel therefore that it would be sensible to settle this controversial question once and for all in democratic way by arranging forva nonparty in dependent body to conduct an impartial Commonwealth natlonal plebiscite in Scotland so that every adult Scotsman it is intimated will be and woman can choose how the country should be governed The committee known as the Scottish Plobisclte Society in asking for all Scots who are in terested to contribute to the fund of some $190000 which ll estimated to be the cost of tak lnng national postal plebis cite Aud although the appeal has just been launched it ll reported that substantial ai mounts have already been con tributed Gas May Jump TORONTO CP Canadian natural gas production is ex pected to jump to more than 900000000000 cubic feet in 1002 Oakah Jones president of the Canadian Gas Association says in yearcud statement This compares with 650000 000000 cubic feet in 1001 and is nearly 75 per cent higher than in 1960 Canadian customers will buy 13 per cent more natural gel than in 1061 and exports par ticularly to the vast markets of California and the United States Pacific Northwest will take 800000000000 cubic feet so in crease of 67 per cent Inilsol sales to the Canadian market were up 14 per cent Mr Jones president of Con sumers Gas Company said revenues from the sale of gas totalled $225000000 16 per cent above 1060 with the value of exports $37000000 During the period the industry reinvested about $100000000 in construc tion of natural gas processing plants Dalton the associa tions managing director says revenues from sale of natural gas in Canada in 1902 are ex pected to reach $260000000 and sales to the United States may reach $62000000 In order to meet these pre dicted market demands the in dustry will boost its production by almost 50 per cent involving expenditures of some $107000 000 for extension of transmit slot lines addition close to $24000 000 wlll have to be invested for construction of re sin plants This does not include the cost of building field wells and such permanent structures as compressor stations meter sta tions and warehouses Mr Jones saidthat in exam ining reasons for the growth of gas one must not overlook the readiness of the utilities and pipe line operators to in vest nearly $2000000000 in plants and properties
