She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Tuesday, April 12, 1960 'Elections Go Smoothly Without Any Opposition If Chiang Kai-shek could talk with Syngman Rhee today, he would almost certainly point out to the Korean Presi- dent that elections go much more smoothly when there's no opposition. And Mr. Rhee, whose version of the "free world" police state is not as efficient as Chiang's, would have to agree, the Louisville Courier-Journal remarks. Chiang, now 73, had a picnic of it. He won his third straight six-year term as President of Nationalist China, now a rump government on an island where the islanders have little to say about it, with a handsome 98.14 per. cent of the ballots cast by the National Assembly. His candidate for Vice President, the incumbent Chen Cheng, did equally well, likewise without opposition. The only sour note came from 28 as- semblymen who showed their secret op- position by a method familiar to every dictatorship -- casting blank ballots. Otherwise everything went smoothly, and there was no one around to voice divisive Nationalists on the evils of the Formosa government -- one-party rule, the military's intrusion into politics, establishment of a secret police appara- tus, lack of guarantees of individual rights, lack of freedom of the press, establishment of "thought control," etc. Such efficiency must be the envy of Syngman Rhee. He won a landslide vie- tory in his election to a four-year term, and at 84 he has extra cause to cheer the victory of his Vice Presidential candi- date over an opposition Democrat who'd won going away with a 200,000-vote majority only four years ago. Rhee's own opponent providentially had died a month before the election. His name still drew a few hundred thousand bal- lots, while Vice President John M. Chang, the 1954 winner, dropped to a miserable total of fewer than two million votes compared to the Rhee-blessed Les Ki-poong's eight million or so. A handsome victory, certainly, but not, as on Formosa, a smooth one. The campaign and the election featured riots, demonstrations, stabbings, police inter- vention against "a funeral march for democracy," the ousting of opposition- party poll-watchers, with killings and injuries not yet fully tabulated. And the losers are still -- somewhat remarkably --in full voice,crying coercion, intimida- and such. It was, in the angry words of Mr. Chang, "the worst election we have ever seen." And he and his party are taking it to court--they hope. Not at all like that golden quiet on Formosa, where only 28 blank ballots raised their eloquent but quiet question-mark. Unemployment Cheating Unemployment insurance rolls con- tain thousands of "cheaters" who quit their jobs to draw benefits, especially seasonal benefits. Until these are ex- heausted and the cheater has to find another job, he turns down job offers because he is quite content with a pain- less $30-a-week supplement to what he earned earlier, the Financial Post eharges. The Post goes on: But if the work the angles, some employers may be no less guilty of cheating the Un- employment Insurance Fund: Anyone who applies for an un- employment insurance cheque must explain why he left his job. The cheater who quit will say he was laid off, and so entitled to benefits. By writing to the employer, the com- mission tries to verify this. But quite eften, according to the commission, the employer won't reply and the commis- sion must take the man's word and pay benefits. There is speculation, too, that the employer sometimes "verifies" false statements because he wants to hire the man again next season. Again the cheater gets his money. Last fall, a 30 per cent increase in contribution rates restored the Unem- ployment Insurance Fund to a precar- ious balance which years of milking has disturbed. One reason why UIC officials are afraid the fund may not stay in balance is that unemployment cheating is on the upgrade: "There are now so many ways of skinning the unemployment insurance cat that we can't keep up with them. We can't police the fund unless employ- ers give us honest answers about layoffs. H further milking produces another in- crease in rates, some employers should blame themselves." Some employers find, for example, that it is a cheap way out to "lay off" older employees instead of declaring that their working days are over and that the company has no intention of asking them to return. The moral for business is obvious: Cleaning up unemployment insurance abuses begins, like charity, at home. Primary In Wisconsin Here is an on-the-spot assessment of the recent presidential primary election in Wisconsin by the Milwaukee Jour- nal: The "decisive" Wisconsin presiden- tial primary was decisive in that it may have hurt all its participants. The state may once again have proved to be a presidential spoiler. The bandwagon on which Senator Kennedy hoped to speed out of the state kept moving, but barely. Senator Hum- phrey proved stronger than had been predicted but not strong enough to make his party's leaders come up cheering. Vice-President Nixon, while he can argue that he didn't campaign, certainly The Oshavon Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher and Generel Maneger €.

Average Daily Net Paid as of March 31, 1960 16,857 suffered a psychological defeat by run- ning third behind two Democrats. Two factors loom big in the final re- sults. One was religion. Senator Kenne- dy ran far ahead in heavily Catholic areas, even in Republican areas where the Catholic vote is sizable. Milwau- kee's 4th district and the 8th district, for instance, accounted for the bulk of his 100,000 victory margin. Kennedy ran much less well in Protestant farm areas. Second, there was a crossover vote, Both Democrats scored hedvily in Re- publican territory. Nationally the "stop Kennedy" move- ment--and there is one--is bound to be heartened. The seeming Kennedy rush to the nomination has been slowed. In the Republican party, meanwhile, there will be deep concern about Nixon's poor showing in the farm areas, and indeed, in what in the past have been strongly Republican areas. He didn't carry a single district and ran second only in four. In none did he come close. The "Nixon can't win" charge will be heard more often because of Wisconsin. From the Democratic standpoint the party got a big boost from an exciting campaign. Both candidates attracted enthusiastic workers who, the party leaders hope, will carry on through No- vember. The party emerged apparently unified. The campaign was ably and fairly fought by both candidates and nothing really 'divisive came up to plague the party in the months ahead. This Democratic upsurge may, in the end; be the single positive result of the primary. The Republicans, on the other hand, failed to show much from the demoralization of the 1958 de- feat. recovery POLITICAL CLAMBAKE READERS' VIEWS Canadian Ways For Newcomers Dear Sir: I have seen the article about the Dutch immigrants in your paper and I am disgusted with it. Why does a Dutchman think he is better than a Canadian? Maybe they have forgotien that they came to Canada to bet- ter their future and improve their standard of living. If they think Canada- is better why do they try to reform it into a little Holland? Why this separation of Dutch schools, Dutch churches, Dutch stores, and even Dutch streets? A Dutchman has to wear Dutch clothes, eat Dutch food and associate only with Dutch people. Then he takes out citizenship papers and he is a Canadian as far as the law is concerned, but everything he lives for is Dutch. I know of families who have been in Canada for five or six years and usually one or the other parent cannot speak Eng- lish too well, therefore the chil- dren are brought up in a Dutch manner and most of them can not speak English until they go to school. What is wrong with the Canadian clothes, schools, churches and the Canadian way of life? Do they want to be able to say, "This is Dutch Canada" and 'this is the old Canada", just like Quebec and Ontario? 'If so, they should go and see Mr. Diefenbaker and ask him what part of the country they can use. 1 know it is hard for the older e to change their way of life and I don't think it is ex- pected of them, but they should encourage their children to live in the Canadian anner. The people 1 am 1 fly talking about are the younger single OTTAWA REPORT Rising Airline and married people. What they do in their homes is their own business but when they go out they should try to act and talk like Canadians. I can't put on paper exactly what I think but I am sure you know what I mean, and I know a lot of Cana- dians who think the same way not only about the Dutch but about other nationalities also. You are probably thinking that a Canadian is writing this letter, but it is not so, as I am also a Dutch immigrant who came to Canada in 1953 and have always lived with Canadians, learned English in a few months and adopted the Canadian way of life, which T am now passing on to my children. But I also have a sister who lives the opposite way.

School Kept Idle By Red Tape Fuss By M. McINTYRE HOOD C For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- For nearly two ? years 1 have been an interested onlooker at one of the most shocking pieces of bureaucratic red tape bungling that it has ever been experience to en- counter. It all has to do with a beautiful new elementary school which has been built on Stan- more Hill, just below the garden of my home and within view of my windows. It was in the proc- ess of being built when I arrived here in May of 1958. 1 watched the building going on, because as a former board of education member in my own Canadian city of Oshawa, I had a lot to do with school building. It was in every way an excellent school, quite up to the standards of On- tario, and a credit to the com- munity. The school was completed and the caretaker took over in De- cember, 1958. But to this day not a single pupil has entered its doors, It has not yet been open- ed. The caretaker keeps it scru- pulously clean, but no one else comes near it. And all of this arises from a squabble between the Middlesex Council and Church of England as to wheth- er it should be a state school or a Church of England school. In the district, it is already known as the "ghost" school. REPLACES OLD SCHOOLS The new school was built to replace two ancient Church of England schools nearby.

In fact, we had already reserved a site for a new school of our own. Then the council de- cided, when the school was nearly completed, that they were spend. ing too much money and offered it to us. If they had suggested at the outset that we might have the school, negotiations could have been completed by the time the school was finished." Now the negotiations are over, and in a week, pupils will start enrolling at the school. The county council will pay the teach- ers' salaries and keep up the decorations.

Caught In Indian Area BOMBAY (CP)--A group of men is undergoing treatment ia 'a Bombay hospital following a spectacular bee-catching expedi- tion. : The village industries departs ment of the Bombay state govern ment has announced that it has been able to capture from the state's forests as many as 300 colonies of wild bees. This is described as an all-time record for any such operation. Hundreds of trained workers scoured the leopard- and snake. infested jungles for several weeks trying to locate and seize bee colonies. One man was killed by a leopard. Two died of snake bites. About 50 were stung badly by angry bees which gave battle. Describing the capture of a massive bee colony in one area, a 35-year-old government said it took his party of seven six days to capture the colony. The hive was dangling from the top of a 30-foot tree. The moment they tried to tackle it out came thousands of maddened bees. The men were surrounded and it took them hours to fight their way out, The Bombay government has established a research centre at Mahabaleshwar, a in re- sort, where experts are devising methods to tame wild bee colo- nies. The idea is to make the bee-catching operations less haz- ardous. The behavior of bees is being studied and one finding is that all honey bees are not aggressive. The experts found that while some colonies will fight others perfectly law-abiding." lived their usefulness. Their 300 pupils were supposed to go to the new school at the beginning of 1959.

Cost Apparent In Figures By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The Trans-Canada Air Lines report for 1959 dis- closes that last year its 92 air liners, operated and served by 10,358 employees whose average wage was $5,326 a year, flew a total of 56,981,000 miles and car- ried 8,209,197 passengers. The av- erage traveller flew 570 miles at a cost of approximately $36. The enormous and rising cost of airliners is shown by com- paring this 1959 report of our taxpayer-owned air line with the similar report of only two years ago. This report, which was pre sented to Parliament last week, shows that TCA is now using $140,000,000 of public money as capital; two years ago, it was using little more than one third of that amount, of $57,000,000. THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD? The explanation of course lies in the swollen price tag on air- craft. President Eisenhower re- cently ad mitted that combat planes literally cost their weight in gold; airliners, which do not carry a fortune in electronic equipment, -are less costly. But TCA is now taking delivery of its new fleet of modern DC-8 jet air- liners which cost $6,000,000 each. It seems only yesterday that TCA proudly unveiled its fleet of 50 Viscount airliners which cost a mere $1,050.000 each. The DC-8 not merely carries 127 passengers, in contrast to the 58 Viscoun! passengers; but it will slash the cross-Canada flight time from Toronto to Vancouver non-stop to 4 hours 40 minutes, in contrast to the present 8 hours 20 minutes non-stog flight by the big Super Constellation This faster speed and increased load , will raise an interesting point. Last year TCA achieved a passenger load factor of just under two-thirds, an appreciable 7 every airliner had flown filled to capacity, the met profit of our air line would have soared from its negligible $152,554 to probably Between $20,000,000 and $25,000, It is not the purpose of our national airline, which is oper- ated as a national utility and for national prestige, to earn im- mense profits. But in line with its service funetion, it obviously could afford to decrease its fares if this would generate more than the present average of one flight per year by one Canadian in every six. Indeed, TCA could slash its present North American fare from 6.3 cenis per- pas- senger-mile to less than 5 cents, and still operate at a profit if this attracted full loads. In con- trast, TCA's North Atlantic fares average 15 cents per passenger- mile for de luxe travel, and about half that for "economy class" (no free liquor, less space, bdre subsistence eating). INTERNATIONAL CARTEL But TCA, as a member of the International Air Transport As- sociation, is bound to the fares set and agreed by that body (al- though such price-fixing would probably be condemned under our own combines or anti-trust legislation). So the airline fi- nanced by Canadians for Cana- dians cannot establish its own fare scale on economic or socio- logical grounds. However, the bigger, faster and costlier air- liners, which are coming into fairly general world-wide use this year, most certainly point to lower fares everywhere to at- tract the necessary traffic to justify their costly keep Two interesting points noticed in reading the informative TCA annual report: The TCA fare index has dropped seven points since 1949, while the general cost drop from the previous year, If of living index has jumped 25 The happend to him so quickly.
