Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Hayfield Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher Brian Slatght General Manager WEDNESDAY AFR 1m 43 No One Really Wins In Protracted Strike Settlement of the long strike of em ployees of the Royal York Hotel Toronto has come as welcome relief to all con cerned including the general public The strike began 10 months ago as mainly pay dispute But pay issues fad ed into the background as negotiators hammered away at such basic questions as the right to strike and the union shop principle When they convened over last week end the strikers voted to return to work under contract giving them consider ably less than they demanded when they walked off the job One of their demands was for wage increase Ironically the figure accepted is the one offered by the hotel before the workers went on strike One oint emerges clearly from the negotiations strike is right backed by law yet it should be resorted to only as last resort Neither side as rule Wins clearcut victory and usually the strikers are hit hardest financially In the Royal York walkout the strikerswould have to work 30 to 40 years to earn lost wages at the rate of increasewthey accept The Canadian Pacific Railway Com iiany which owns the Royal York says theatrike had the effect of cutting the profits of its hotel operations across Can ada by $200000 But what of the cm ployees When the strike was called last April some 1188 workers were involved About 530 returned to work before the settle ment and 200 others resigned The re maining employees stuck it out for 10 months existing largely on union hand outs It was thin living at best They got what they had been offered in the first place One well might ask why didnt they settle for the three and half cents last year and thus avoid costly strike to themselves and the company Unions of course endeavor to obtain the best possible wages and working con ditions for members But in seeking to achieve its goals union should lean backwards before taking militant action strike is unions strongest weapon which if used can spread devastation for the workers too In retrospect one can say that the Royal York strike should never have been held Union officials would probably agree with this contention today Unfort unately no one can recall the lost time and wages and the disruption of the lives of more than 1100 men and women

MDr Dear Sir WIll four drops of iodine daily in glass of water be good for health or do harm MRS Im sure youre referring to tincture of iodine the ordinary kind that is an antiseptic Ex ccpt under unusual circum stances thcre is no dnngcr in that amount For one thing it isnt much iodine Pure lodlne Is solid and thc tincture is only the amount that is dis solved ln alcohol To prevent golfer most of us habitually usc iodizcd suitthe table variety that has trace of potassium iodide in it This is so generally used that most of us buy that kind of salt without thinking about it and we might have to do some shopping around in fact to find suit that isnt iodized However the amount of lo dine we need is small Some body bas described it as what we would absorb by smelling the cork of an iodine bottle once day What we need is only truce Occasionally potassium iodide ls used as medicine but that is far cry from saying that it like any other medicine is good for health in general On the other hand there are some individuals with thyroid disorders who have to avoid ex cess iodine For them the few drops day would be too much and some of them even avoid iolt dined salt For the great majority of us little more or loss iodine once we have the necessary trace doesnt make any difference am aware however that sort of folklore grew up about iodine at one time and some people even made money by selling pills containing small amount of it suppose thats why continue to receive letters ask ing about aidaily ration of in dine or few drops of tlnclt ture of iodine in water Well it REPORT FROM UK Devises New Cost Of Living Index By MBINTYRE HOOD Special London England Correspondent for The Barrie Examiner LONDON TheBritish gov ernment has devised new cost of living index one which is more in keeping with the modes of life in presentday Britain The one which has has been in use since the end of the second world war is completely out of date It does not reflect the changes in the spending habits of the British people in these days of an af fluent and prosperous society Sotherehave been some red ical changes in the list of it ems used in computing the cost of living The Advisory Committee responsible for it has omitted some things which have ceased to be an import and factor in the British house wifes spending and it has in cluded in it long list of items which have come into popular usage only in the last two or three years BASED ON ANALYSIS The cost of Living Advisory Committee has based its new index of consumer spending on an analysis of the budgets of some 3000 households with less than $55 week income And here are some of the interest ing an intriguing features about the change which has been made Into the index come roasting chicken and sherry as items in the budget of the average Bril lsh housewife And out of it go someof the cheaper cuts of imported ment and boiling fowl vThcsc today are passe in the averago home Into the index for the first lust isnt necessary it doesnt help and it usually doesnt harm except occasionally Tincture of iodine is if good disinfectant One drop in quart of water allowed to stand for is minutes will make it bac ierliilly safe for drinking pur poses In fact thats method the army has often used when troops are out in the field and they arent sure whether water is safe to drink Dear Dr olnc What causes small children to have worms and why must they pass through so large and long be you know of mcdlcino that will cut them up so they cannot be seen They got on my nervesMRS If you will just get your think ing strnlghtencd out you will realize that the important thing is to have these children treated to get rid of the parasites So take them to your doctor and leave your nerves under the door mat until youve got the job done llhcso obviously must he roundworms or tape worms much less common than barely visible plnworms There is no medicine to up Dear Dr Molncr Will leuke mia always show up in blood test and blood count STEADY READER Ordinarily yes ev with certain treatments the dis ease can go into period of re misslon In this phase presence of the disease can for time be difficult to prove For that reason cases should be followed carefully BIBLE THOUGHT Study to be quiet and to no your own businessI Thessa lonians 411 It is wise man who knows when to think of others and when to mind his own business time come such articles as re frigerators electrlc cookers and oven motor scooters Out go clothes wringers household buckets and earthen ware tenpots Into the new inlt dex come nylon panties and jeans And out of it go lislo stockings In making its analysis the committee found that the typ ical British family now spends more on motoring and great deal less on bus and rail far es which is bad newsfor Dr Richard Beeching head of the British Transport Commission It spends more on electric washing machines and refrigera ntors and less on motion pic ture theatre tickets It spends more on electricity and less oii coal and gas Its drinking hab its have changed with more money being spend on wines and spirits and less on beer And that is indeed radical change for the British working public The new cost of living index is now being brought into use but it will not officially replace the old one until the end of the present year Until then however it will be used in conjunction with the old index and tied lnto it This is nec cssary because there are over two million workers mainly in thcvbuildlnz boot and shoe steel and printing industries whose wages are linked to the cost of livliig By deferrlng the complete Adoption of the new index time will be allowed for the making of new agree merits in which it will be us ed as afactor in the fixing of wage increases or lcduC

history will be heard again in the coming elec tion when bcmedolled oft wounded vcleran takes to the hmllngs to fight his toughest battle William Henry Pope gradu ated from Royal Military Col age to Join Quebecs famous Van Doos in the Second World War Then and later in the Korean War he fought with distinction gaining the Military Cross for gallantry two men tions in dispatches and three wounds By 1959 at the age of as be had been appointed sec ond in command of the 1st Bnt tnllon of that Frenchspeaking Royal and regiment This service to Canada was in the tradition set by his great grandfniher William Henry Pope Father of Confederation from and by his grand father Joseph Pope friend and confident to Prime Minis ters Sir John Macdonald and Sir Wilfrid Laurier and for 30 years deputy minister in 0t lawn and by his father the distln lshed general and am4 bases Maurice Pope Harry Pope was not soldier who believed tlicirs not to reason why theirs but to do and die He reasoned and to him our foreign policy under both Liberal and Conservative governments failed to meet the true Interests of Canadians He decided that the organization of our armed forces is faulty and extravagant and that Canada should quit NATO and NORAD and foster the development of the nonnuclear club RESIGNS FROM ARMY Grcot credit is due to Harry Pope that be implemented his beliefs by rcslgnlng hls com mission thus sacrificing mil itary career that might well have led him to the top Then as in civilian he accepted the lower paid job of executive as sistant to the parliamentary leader of the CCF NDP He first served chcn Arguewith whom he disagreed often and violently for reasons now not hard to understandand now more luipplly but as loyalty serves the new leader BCs Bert Horridge To bring his oplnions and ideas before the Canadian peo ple personally he is planning no less during frontal attack than to contest the riding of Calgary North against the well ontrcnched minister of national defence Hon Douglas Rerkness hlmself also decorated vet eran of the Second World War This will certainly be the most important election bottle in Alberta and will serve as focus for the Ban the Bomb movement In the last five elections Cal gary North has shown itself to be Conservative or perhaps more truly Harkness stronghold In 1958 Doug Harkv uess won more than 70 per cent of the votes while his Liberal Socred and CCF opponents all forfeited their deposits through falling to win at least half the votes cast for the victor The CCF candidate ran bottom with less than five per cent of the poll WOULD AID AFRICANS Hurry Popes platform will be that of the NDP ilc believes that Canada should not be merely tail to the US mili tary kite He considers that much of the huge total of our defence budget would be better spent in aiding the underprivi leged millions in the emerging nations of Africa and Asia Ho thinks our military effort should ultimately be limited to Canadian contribution to United Nations police force He considers that the cause of world peace would he bciicr served by working for human amelioration than for manl atomization In short he agrees with the ultimate obiccilvcs of the Conservative and Liberal parties but believes that the NDP program is more likely to attain them He admits frankly that even transport to his chosen battle ground presents problem my 1955 car with 54000 miles behind it might not make it to Calgary He himself will have on even harder task to make it at Calgary But everyone must applaud the sinccrlty and record behind his candidacy The pity is that such candl dnte has not selected riding where he might win and bring his undoubted talents what ever one may think of his poli ticsto the service of his coun try on yet another and greater battlefield LETTERS TO EDITOR HQ Cenlrnl Ontario Arcn Oakvillc Ont April l962 Dear Sir The excellent covcragc your newspaper has been giving to Army activities in Barrie is
