THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. South, Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Friday, April 27, 1956 Atomic Energy Commission At Last Becomes A Reality The startling proposal made by President Eisenhower of the United States, on December 9, 1953, that the nations of the world unite in some kind of organization to promote the devel- opment of atomic energy for peaceful purposes has born fruit. The dream which he then presented to the world has become a reality. A few days ago, a 12-power commission, which includ- ed Canada, Russia and the United States unanimously adopted the text of a charter for an international atom- ic energy agency. This charter will be presented to a conference, at which 84 nations will be represented, to be held at U.N, headquarters in New York la- ter in this year. This agreement ensures that the atoms-for-peace proposals of Eisen- hower made in an address to the Uni- ted Nations General Assembly, are on their way to being fulfilled. He propos- ed that those nations possessing atom- ic resources should contribute materi- als to an international pool, which would be used for the development of atomic power plants throughout the world. At the time, this proposal was indeed revolutionary, but since it was made, the principal nations involved have recognized their obligations to humanity to make this new source of power available to all. The fact that the eountries' which have so far made the greatest strides in development of atomic energy for peaceful purposes were members of the commission which approved the charter, ensures the future success of this far-reaching venture, It is gratifying to Canadians that the place which Canada holds in the field of nuclear development has been given full recognition by membership on the commission and also on the board of governors which will operate the new organization. This country has made great progress in its own at- omic energy program. It has demon- strated its willingness to share its knowledge and its resources with oth- er less fortunate countries. Through the new international atomic energy agency, it will play its full part in do- ing so. New York Tribute To Canada The important place which Canada has now taken as an industrial and trading nation is given prominent re- cognition in a special supplement which was published by The New York Times last weekend. This supplement consisting of 28 tabloid-size pages, handsomely illustrated in rotogravure, is devoted entirely to the province of Quebec. It tells, in illuminating stories and pictures, of the tremendous pro- gress which has been made by this Canadian province in recent years. The special supplement was distribu- ted as a regular part of The New York Times to more than 1,200,000 families in the United States and Canada. This is one more piece of evidence of the fact that the United States is looking to Canada with a changed view- point, It is a recognition that this coun try is important to the United States as a neighbor and as a trader.

This special supplement of The New York Times adds to our belief that the press of the United States is fully alive to the future potentialities of this country. It follows very ¢losely after a splendid article in The Milwaukee Jour- nal in which the value to the United States of Canada's primary and indus- trial production is emphasized. The sta- ture of this country is growing, as is proper, in the estimation of our neigh- bors to the south, and its newspapers are making an excellent contribution in making this possible. picture of what Quebec px in Effect Of Capital Punishment One of the arguments voiced in favor of the continuance of capital punish- ment as a penalty for murder is that it constitutes a deterrent to the commis- gion of capital crimes. In a recent is- sie, The Saturday Night of Toronto published an interesting table, showing the incidence of murder in countries which have capital punishment and those which do not have it. This table, taken from an authentic source, gives the murder rate per 100,- 000 of population in countries with the two different methods of dealing with those convicted of murder. In the coun- tries which still have the death penalty, the murder rate per 100,000 is shown as fo 1.2; Australia, 1.1; France, 0.8; United Kingdom, 0.6. In five countries which no longer use capital punishment as a penalty, the rates are as follows: Fin- land, 4.6; Belgium, 1.4: Switzerland, 1.0; Sweden, 0.8; Netherlands, 0.4. lows: United States, 5.8; Canada, Editorial Notes If the weather does not warm up soon, there will be no April showers to - bring the May flowers.

If anything, the record favors to a slight degree those countries which have abandoned capital punishment. This would seem to negative the argu- ment that capital punishment, in itself, is a deterrent to the commission of murders. This also bears out a statement made in the report of a British Royal Commission on the subject, which stat- ed that "the evidence we have received, in countries which have abolished capi- tal punishment, was to the effect that released murderers who commit furth- er crimes of violence are rare, while those who become useful citizens are common." This combination of facts would make it appear that capital punishment is not as great a deterrent to murder as its proponents would try to make us believe, Other Editors' Views PEACE MAY BE NEXT (Sarnia Canadian Observer) The Russians have changed face about Joseph Stalin. In fact, they are saying all sorts of things about his long tenure as strong man. If this sort of thing continues they may even get around to talking peace with the rest of the world and meaning it.

CAIRNS A Per Capita Tax Levy Higher By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent To The Times-Gazette TORONTO: Best argument we have seen in favor of municipal- ities getting a better financial deal is in a survey of municipal taxes presented in the Winnipeg Tribune. . It shows that the local taxpayer in Ontario cities is paying a lot more than in other provinces of Canada. The survey shows the tax levied by municipal in various centres across Canada in 1954. Heading the list is Toronto where it cost $94.29 per head to run the local government. Next was Hamilton at 24. At the bottom of the list was Quebec City at $40.87 per head. Montreal showed a figure of $55.81. With the exception of Ottawa, where the figure was $64.97 the cost of local government invar- iably was higher in Ontario than in the western provinces. And in many centres it was higher than even the high-cost Maritimes. The whole picture adds consid- erable weight to the pleas of mun- icipal leaders for more financial assistance. THAT WATER!!! As the fluoridation controversy becomes more and more heated the government looks equally more and more askance at the day when it is going to have to make some decision on the question. Personal opinion in the cabinet would be weighted against fluor- idation. Prominent er capita government wmem- councils t Here bers wouldn't even agree that it is right to permit it after a local vote. They believe -that those who want fluoride should go out and buy it, But whether they would say this in the face of public opinion is another question. If the opposition is on its toes at the special session it will try to force some expression from the government. The question holds more potential embarrassment than any it has faced for some ime. GAS LINE? What is the natural gas? In the welter of rumors, new proposals and general controversy which has marked the gas ques- tion recently some new thought on the fart of the government might be in order. However there is no sign of any pronounced change. Officially the position is to say nothing, or at least no more than enough to give the impression that the future is strictly Ottawa's baby. Underneath, however, there are signs of a growing conviction that when the line is built it will be by the government, and not only the northern Ontario section but the whole line. One interesting suggestion which may get consideration was in the Calgary Albertan. It proposed that the line should be built by the C.N.R. and C.P.R, railways. A lead for this has been given in the U.S. where at least one major railway has gone into the pipe- line business. opinion' here on FOR BETTER HEALTH Here's What's Going On In Cancer Research HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. WE don't know how far we are from solving the cancer riddle Some scientist may come up with a cure tomorrow. Or maybe it will be years hefore we conquer the disease But one thing Is cer tain a vast scientific force is moving toward that solution day by day Like done to know what 1s heing toward solving the prob lem? Well, here's a brief sketch of what Is going on, CANCER TISSUES Blochemists are trying to find out just how cancer tissue differs chemically from normal healthy tissue. Special emphasis Is helng placed on research in proteins building blocks of living tissue Inheritance is an important factor in developing cancer in animals. Studies are underway lo determine whether heredity en ters into the human cancer pi ture. Viruses are being studied to de termine whether they cause can cer in humans as they do In chickens and whether they can be used to localize and destroy tumors as they have done in ani: mals. More and more research is aimed at the possibility of devel oping immunity machinery against cancer. DUCTLESS GLANDS Hormones, a product of the ductless glands, are frequently used in treatment of cancer. They are now being modified. Their molecules are being rebuilt to in- crease their effectiveness and to reduce undesirable side effects. Sometimes the adrenal glands are removed in advanced cases of breast cancer. But this operation is difficult. A new drug is now being tried to inhibit the glands' function, thus" making an opera- tion unnecessary. High power radiation for can- cer treatment at low cost will be provided by a linear electron ac- celerator which is now being per- fected at Stanford University. NEW CHEMICALS The search also continues for a drug or drugs which may pro- vide us with a cancer cure. An integrated research program ranges all the way from the man- ufacture of new chemicals to the ultimate trial of promising drugs in cancer victims And a world-wide search is un derway for plants which may con tain effective cancer fighting drugs. Of course, there are many other phases of research, too Some day they'll pay off QUESTION AND ANSWER Mr. E. J: Can rifle shooting cause arthritis to one's shooting shoulder? Answer: Any type of jarring or repealed pressure, such as occurs from the kick of a rifle, can cause osteoarthritis, which is a farm of arthritis, to occur in the shoulder joint where the handle of the gun is held India To Extend Territorial Waters NEW DELHI (Heuters)- India, which recently extended Its ter: ritorial waters to six miles, may push the limit still further, to 12 or 15 miles. The Indian government likely will follow precedents set by the United States, the Soviet Unlon and other countries which have stipulated 12 miles as the limit of their territorial waters.

He was elect- ed Liberal member of Parlia- ment for Halifax in 1925 and re- elected in 1926 and 1930. His home is at Bedford, N.S. veral years past. Within the next two weeks we hope to take part in a similar event which is being held at the Collegiate and Vocation- al Institute. These career days have become important events for the boys and girls in the senior grades of the secondary schools. They are an out- growth of the system of guidance, or counselling, which has become part of the service rendered to pu- pils of the secondary schools. They can also be considered as a fine co-operative effort in which many Jeople from various walks of life e part. WELL ORGANIZED So far as Oshawa's secondary schools are concerned the career days are well-organized in ad- vance. They are designed to en- able the pupils to secure authori- tative information and advice on vocations ;in which they are inter- ested. The first step in organiza- tion is to find out the occupations and professions in which the pu- pils are interested. They are pro- vided with questionnaires on which they record their first and second choices. When all this is compiled, the teacher can assemble the pat- tern of career day, and can decide on which vocations sessions will be necessary in accordance with the wishes expressed by the pupils. The next step is to secure some - expert, or authority in each voca- tion listed to come aid discuss with the pupils, his or her own line of business or profession. That is where co-operation enters into the picture. It is necessary for the acher in charge dance work to secure speakers for every group of pupils. Sometimes, that is not an easy task. So far, the Osh- awa schools have been very suc- cessful in enlisting the assistance of people well lified to di their own fields. For the last few years, the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, through its vocational - guidance committee, has placed its entire membership at the disposal of the schools to assist in career days. This has provided one pool of per- sonnel on which to draw. CAREER DAY PATTERN The actual carrying on of Career Day is fairly simple, and when well, organized it operates smooth- ly. The pupils are assembled in classrooms according to the voca- tions they have chosen to secure in formation. The speaker assigned to each goes to the proper classroom, and is Fe ol to the group by one of the pupils. One hour is al- lowed, and usually the first part of it is used hy the speaker to outline the scope of the particular vocation, what advantages it hes to offer, the service it renders, what qualifications, educational an otherwise, are essential for success in that icular field. Then follows a question period, which in our experience, is always the most interesting part of hour. The pupils are never back- ward asl questions, and sometimes the questions are not easy to answer. But by the time the hour is over, the pupils are well supplied with the - tion needed to help them to decide for or against thal voca- tion. For the second hour, the pu- ils move into new groups accord- g to their own second choice, and there the same process is re- peated. Thus in the course of the afternoon, each pupil becomes well informed on two vocations in which he or she an inter- Go to note the careers in which secondary schools show the Sreatest interest. At the recent OCCI career day, the larg- est group of girls was made 3p of those interested in being air t- esses. Second was that of girls interested in secretarial careers, and nursing and teaching were next in line. 4 Among the boys, by far the largest number were interested in various fields of engineering, par- ticularly chemical and electric en- gineering and electronics, Next came those interested in aviation and the Royal Canadian Air Force, and the third largest group was that on forestry. Perhaps this guidance work is one of the frills of present-day edu- cation, but it serves a very use- ful purpose. And career day has a very definite value in guiding boys and girls into fields of endeavor towards which their own inclina- tions and abilities lead them. OTTAWA REPORT Lack Of Policy Hurts PC Cause By PAT NICHOLSON Special Correspondent To The Times-Gazette OTTAWA: The Progressive Con- servative party has lost all its recent gain in popular support. Public opinion polls show that seven out of each 100 Conserv- ative supporters as of six months ago would today vote for some other party. This slump reflects the public confidence forfeited by the official opposition during the first three months of this parliamentary ses- sion. The reason is not hard to find. The Conservatives have been com- placently over - confident after their resounding parliamentary successes last summer. Now they are coasting aimlessly, The Grand Old Party founded by. that grand old man, Sir John A. Macdonald, has been stumbling around as if blindfolded, lacking any policy, any rudder or any purpose; with unerring misjudgment its mem- bers have cried 'wolf' whenever they spied a trapper, but have shut their eyes whenéver a wolf stalked near. Typical of its inconsistencies this session has been its united howl of protest at Finance Min- ister Walter Harris' praiseworthy defence against those ruthless for- eign profit - grabbers called "spe- clal Canadian editions" of foreign magazines. The government's ob- jective is admirable, although the means jit has chosen may not be the best. "This tax is nothing more or less than a punitive tax imposed for a purely political reason," charged George Hees, for mer national chairman of the Conservative Ass- ociation. Laying aside his bifocals, fiscal-fledgeling Hees then peered myopically across the Border, and compared this Canadian tax prop- osal to the Maryland bill aimed at banning a Canadian subsidiary company from operating a brew- ery in that state, With the flowery but entirely irrelevant comment that our prime minister obviously cons- ders good Canadian-American re- lations to be a one-way street, Mr. Hees pointed out that President Eisenhower had iaken steps to have the Maryland ban reversed. So, 'Mr. St. Laurent, demanded Hees, should likewise reverse the magazine tax. There is of course absolutely no comparison between the two cases, The Canadian brewery would compete or an equal foof- ing with its American rivals. It would operate in Maryland, using American labor and American materials. The equivalent of Mary- land banning that endeavor would be for Ontario to ban U. S. Gen- eral Motors from operating a wholly-owned subsidiary in Osh- awa. The special Canadian editions of foreign magazines, unlike General Motors at Oshawa, do not use pre- dominantly Canadian labor and materials, They use dumped for- eign editorial content of around 97 per cent, and in some cases are even printed in a foreign coun- try to avoid employing Canadian labor. Mr. Hees and his Tory collea- ues skimped on their homework n coming up with this compar- ison, A more accurate parallel for the dumping of foreign editorial care whether Canadian workmen have jobs or not. I do not like, and no member of my party likes, to see any workman out of a job. But if it is necessary to have work- men out of jobs, I would rather see them in Chicago than in Galt or Toronto." The speaker who was so indig- nant about the unemployment caused in Canada by the dumping of U, S. textiles was that same Mr, Hees. Yet today he complaing just as loudly, and so do his Tory colleagues, because the govern. ment is taking steps to prevent the dumping of foreign magazines * causing unemployment in our pub- lishing industry. Such short - term opportunism among the Conservatives is no substitute for a consistent policy; and the obvious lack of any clear- cut policy, offered as 5 altern- ative to Liberal measures, is be- devilling the cause of the Con- servative party in Canada today.

That unfair piracy was halted three years ago, by the government imposing anti-dump- ing duties, to the great benefit of Canadian textile mills, . Complaining of that dumping, many Conservative M.P.s charged the government of currying favor with U. S. business to the cost of Canadian commerce. "During the past two years," complained one, 'this legalized dumping has been going along merrily.
