Net Paid Circulation Aver e Per Issue #% y i 0 ] UST, 1948 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1948 Immunization Pays In common with many centres in Canada, the local Board of Health of the City of Oshawa conducts an intensive immunization campaign throughout the year so that young children will be protected against the ravages of diphtheria, whooping cough and smallpox. However, there are sections of the country which have no immunization clinics. It is with the idea of bringing the need for this protection to the fore that the Health League of Canada is sponsoring its annual Immunization Week across the Dominion from September 12 to. 19.- Immunization is the most effective means yet found of giving protection against acute communicable diseases. It is only in very rare cases that diseases are contracted after immunization and when this occurs the attacks are much less severe. The injections given to induce immunization are painless and the reaction, if any, is extremely mild and occasions little discomfort. In Oshawa immunization may be secured at a nominal fee from the family physician or free of charge at the clinics operated by the local Board of Health. The only manner in which Immunization can be 100 per cent effective is through its whelehearted acceptance by all ages and classes in the community. Those who have bepefited from-immunization can help the cause by telling of their own experience and by according the Board of Health program every possible assistance. ' Dominant In Industry (Stratford Beacon-Herald) Graphic illustration of the centralization of Canadian manufacturing in Ontario and Quebec is provided by a 1946 survey recently completed by the Dominion Bureau' of Statistics--and quoted by The Sault Ste. Marie Star, which for that year lists 31,249 manufacturing establishments operating in the Dominion, exclusive of firms doing con- struction and custom and repair work. Of the total of 31,249 establishments operating in 1946, 11,424 were located in Ontario, or 37 per cent of the whole number. ' The Ontario plants employed 47 per cent of the persons engaged in manufacturing and produced more than 46 per cent of the entire output. Quebec came second in the number of plants with 10,818, followed by British Columbia with 2,731, Nova Scotia with 1,315, New Brunswick with 993, Saskatchewan with 955, Prince Edward Island with 246, and the Yukon and North- west Territories with 13. The payroll for the whole number of establishments was $1,740,687,000, while 1,058,156 persons were employed. The corresponding figures for 1939 were $737,811,000 and 658,114. The ranking of the leading industries in 1946, as meas- ured by their gross value of production, changed somewhat from the pre-war pattern in 1939. Pulp and paper moved up from second to first position. Slaughtering and meat packing took over second place, advancing from third posi- tion before the war, while non-ferrous metal smelting and refining dropped from first to third place. Sawmills rose from eighth place in 1939 to fourth place in 1946, while feed mills rose from seventh to fifth place. The butter and cheese industry, which ranked in fourth place before the war, fell to the sixth position in 1946, while the electrical apparatus industry moved up from ninth to seventh place. . / The gross value of petroleum products manufactured in 1939 put that industry in sixth place, from which it fell to eighth in 1946. The most marked change in position was that of the automobile industry, which dropped from fifth place in 1939 to ninth in 1946. A Healthy Growth One of the barometers indicative of the growth of the city is the monthly report issued by the City Engineer's De- partment of building permits issued. While the total each month is not as large as it was in the late 20's, residents of the city will haye noted that a sizable number of new dwell- ings are beingerected, many by their owners, which will go a long way toward solving the housing shortage. There is another side to the situation which is just as important. That is assessment. We would not be surprised if Assessment Commissioner Eldon Kerr reports a very siza- ble increase when he returns the roll to the City Council be- fore the end of the year. It will be remembered that quite a little building was commenced last year, Under the terms of the Assessment al assessment can be made before it is finished., | that many properties, partially assessed last year, assessed in the new roll. In addition there has started this year which will go to swell the " By HAROLD DINGMAN Ottawa 'Correspondent Otlawa, Sept. 9--The sum of $100 each was the original subscription, I am told, of the "Committee of Six" who are trying to get John Diefenbaker elected leader of the Progressive Conservative party. This gave them a working capital of only $600 which is a poor amount with which to start buying news- paper space. . After their first ads appeared in Toronto newspapers, inviting oth- ers interested to subscribe funds, they received about $1,200 and as- surances of enough new money to keep going. They hope itewill snow- ball into a really big campaign. The sparkplug of the Committee is 39-year-old Kenneth Bertram Andras, a squadron leader with the RCAF who served three years over- seas. Andras is a hard-working Rotarian; he helped organize the young men's section of the Toronto Board of Trade and also the Junior Chamber of Commerce of Canada. "If that makes him sound like a babbit,t the truth is quite the op- posite, » writes a friend. Why Diefenbaker, instead of Drew? "We admire George Drew," says Andras, "but we feel that for the next 20 years this county is going to be faced with two serious and continuing problems: Unifying the nation and keeping our govern- ment from swinging to the extreme left. We believe that Diefenbaker is the man who, as head of 'the Progressive Conservative party, Is best. suited to solve those problems." WHISPERING CAMPAIGN -- There have been some snide re- marks passed in Ottawa about Die- fenbaker, and presumably Andras has heard them in Toronto. One of the meanest is that "Diefen- baker" is a foreign name and therefore he should not lead a na- tional political party. This is like saying that Eisen- hower and Roosevelt are foreign, and therefore those two great Am- ericans should never have heen placed in positions of trust. The name Diefenbaker is no less a household word in Canada today than those two. In point of fact John Diefenbaker is a fourth gen- eration Canadian, BERLIN TABOO -- Correspond- ents have a tough time getting any answers out of responsible govern- ment officials regarding Canadian help for the Berlin airlift. In the East Block (Foreign Affairs) they now have a stock answer to the question "Will Canada send planes and aircrew as did South Africa and Australia?" "See the Prime Minister's refer- ence of June 30th" is the standard reply. Mr. King at that time said there had been no formal request for help. One morning last week a cor- respondent phoned the East Block and before he could ask his ques- tion the answer came back: "No passage to Berlin." NO SORROW FELT--When Dr. Eduard Benes, the President of Czechoslovakia, died last week For- eign Minister St. Laurent was quick to offer public condolences on be- half of Canada. But the Foreign Office was discreetly silent when, a few days earlier, Russia announ- ced the death of Andrei Zhdanov, Stalin's strong man in the Polit- buro and the Comminform, VICIOUS STUPIDITY -- A Can- adian citizen returning from the United States the other day re- ported that customs officers are still searching every tenth Cana- dian. He claimed that women were being taken into private rooms and stripped and that every piece of baggage and every article in the baggage was taken out and exam- ined. "In some cases it is criminal and vicious stupidity," said our irate friend. "It is an example of offic- iousness carried to extremes." NO SECOND CHANCE (Guelph Merucry) Canoeing is a good sport. It is wholesome, health-giving, altogether desirable. And the death list of canoeing is greater than ever. What are we going to do about it? There is a simple answer. Some of us have a right to paddle a canoe; others have no right whatever. If you can't swim, don't canoe. There should be no exception and no concession.

American buyers, who lookéd for cheaper beef in Toronto than they are ace customed to in Chicago, balked at the high prices asked, five to 10 cents above the previous week's figures.
