THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. South, Oshawa, Ont, Page 6 Tuesday, July 17, 1956 Example Of Automation ° IN Increasing Employment A striking example of how fears that automation would cause a decrease in the number of people employed is found in an article in the current issue of "The Bluebell" official magazine of the Bell Telephone Company. There can be no finer example of that type of techno- logical progress which is known as,auto- mation than the introduction of the dial telephones in the Bell system. When the dial telephones were introduced, it was thought that the telephone operator was doomed to extinction, Their day was done, it was said, because the dial had eliminated the need for operators. Yet this has not turned out to be the case. The article shows that on January 1, 1924, when the first dial telephones were introduced, the company had 12,- 740 employees, 4,178 men and 8.562 women. Today, with 85 per cent of all the company's telephones dial operated, there are some 37,300 employees, 14,- 400 men and 22,900 women. And the number of telephone operators has al- most doubled. On January 1, 1924, the company had 7,750 women in the traf- fic department. Today there are 13,- 500. The article sums up the result of automation, briefly, as follows: "By making possible more economical op- erationg, technology or automation has also made for higher wages, shorter hours, a larger number of skilled jobs, and better working conditions, In the process of change, as improvements have been introduced, great care has been taken to avoid human hardship, : nd no less care will be exercised in the future. To many people, however, automation meshs that some industries of the future will run automatically, with one or two persons controlling the operations. Certainly there is nothing like that around the corner for the telephone industry." Here is a case Where automation has had highly beneficial results from the standpoint of the workers. It is likely that the same holds true in other in- stances where advantage is taken of technological improvements. Might Take Lesson From Oshawa The city council of Sudbury is faced with a problem, according to an edit- orial in the Sudbury Daily Star. That sity has a private ambulance service, just as Oshawa did until a few years ago. The council was faced with a re- quest for a subsidy from the ambulance operator. He declared that if he did not weesive this subsidy, he would have to @lssontinue the service. because it was pet producing sufficient revenue to pay its way. The council therefore adopted a proposal providing for a subsidy of $800 a month for the balance of this yoor. The Sudbury Star, in its editorial, paises some questions as to the propriety and legality of paying this subsidy to a private ambulance firm. It suggests that the eouneil's action might be chal- lenged by the department of municipal affairs. And it also raises the point that the eoumell might be subsidizing ser- vices given to people who are not resi- dents of Sudbury, but come from out- side points, This is all reminiscent of the squab- bles which arose in the Oshawa city council over the subsidizing of the pri- vate ambulance service which was car- ried on in the city at that time. It will be recalled that the ambulance operator presented his plea for a subsidy, and it was granted to him. When an increased subsidy was asked for, however, the council balked at it, the operator with- drew his services, and Oshawa then pro- ceeded to set up its own civic ambu- lance service, which has operated at a profit since its inception. At no time, however, did the department of muni: cipal affairs question the legality or propriety of the subsidy. We pass this information on to our Sudbury friends with the thought that the experience of Oshawa might be helpful to Sudbury. Low Civil Service Salaries There are many people who look with envy em eivil servants as people whe have nice easy jobs with fat sala- vies. Apparently, however, things in the eivil service are not as good as the aver- age outside individual believes them to be. The other day in the house of com- mons, a CCF member made a strong attack on the level of salaries being paid and offered by the federal government, through its civil service commission. He read out a long list of jobs being adver- tised by the commission, with the sal- aries offered. and derived them as being entirely inadequate if efficient staff was to be secured. Mere are some of the examples cited: -- a salary of $3,300 for economists in the department of agriculture; $215 a Editorial Notes Among the old comrades who never die but just fade away, the Russians ean list Malenkov, Molotov and Kaga- novich. Here's an echo from bygone days. A Kitchener youth was recently fined for careless driving with a horse and bug- BY. An Indiana boy recently won an award for being voted the typical American boy.

It is little wonder that this CCF mem- ber was sceptical of the ability of the civil service commission to secure the best-qualified staff for the many gov- ernment departments when these are typical salaries that are offered. He was quite right in his assertion that highly qualified workers in the civil service should receive rewards at least com- parable to those which are offered in private industry and business. Other Editors' Views SERIOUS FOR ASIA (Manchester Guardian) The relinquishment of British bases around the Indian Ocean would be more serious for the Asian countries than for Britain. Once the British forces have gone they are unlikely to come back. Not even an appeal by the United Nations -- in the event, for example, of a serious incursion across the borders of Burma-- would bring substantial military help. It could not, because such help' would be physically impossibie.

One of them, however, is of distinct inter- est to Oshawa, since it deals with an event which was of great im- . portance to what was then a small QUEEN'S PARK Safety Drive Is Showing Results By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent To The Daily Times-Gazette TORONTO--Higher speed limits are coming. Trial periods on selected roads will be underway shortly. The first road selected--will probably be 400 north from Toronto to Bar- rie, and the present 50 mile limit increased to 60. Eventually the higher limit will be applied to other roads in the province, though not all. And in no case will they be extended to trucks, Authorities here have made this last definite. Trucks will be kept to the 50 mile limit, Also there will be er en- forcement in future truck drivers. Particularly will the 200 foot limit between vehicles be made effective. It is being flag- rantly disobeyed now. SAFETY CAMPAIGN . While talking of highways, the five - month report on safety showed some pleasing results but not enough #0 cause anyone to cheer. There was a drop of about six per cent in fa es over last Year. This is on all roads in the prov- ince, including those under mu- nicipal jurisdiction.

Unfortunately, many of shem are not even aware of the condition. While we doctors can do a lot to aid those of you with high blood pressure, we can't do much if you don't seek our help. WARNING SIGNS Only a doctor, of course, can tell whether you actually have high blood pressure. But there are nu- merous warning signs which indi- cake that you might be suffering from this ailment. They are a sig- nal to see your doctor soon for help. Aches and pains are fairly com- mon symptoms in hypertension or high blood pressure. You may at- tribute pains in your arms, legs, back or shoulder blades to neuritis or arthritis when the trouble really stems from hypertension. FAMILIAR FORM The most familiar form of ache in such cases is headache. The pain usually is centered in the back of your neck and head, ai- though it may be in the temples, on the sides, the top or virtually anywhere, Perhaps you tire easily and seem exhausted by midafternoon. You may also have difficulty sleeping at night. These may be symptoms of high blood pressure. A sensation of being dizzy Is an- other symptom. You may feel as shough you are about to fall, faint or feel as though you are swaying or spin- ning around. This feeling of dizzi- ness is likely to begin abruptly upon bending over, turning round, sitting up in bed or when vou suddenly change your position in almost any way. The sensation passes quickly and you will sel- dom faint UPSET EMOTIONALLY Those with high blood pressure may be easily upset emotionally. Perhaps' you blush with no appar- enh reason. Maybe you ery and don't even know why. Irritability and worry seem to go hand in hand with hypertension. With the symptoms I've already listed, it is little wonder that hypertensive people sometimes are cross, magnify litile things and generally adopt a gloomy view of everything. But such an attitude is only another symptom of high blood pressure. Don't take these symptoms light- ly. While they may not mean you have high blood pressure, they do usually indicate shat something may be wrong. Better see your doctor and find out what it is.

Police said they had arrested and charged 21-year-old William Ibey. They would not 'reveal de- tails because investigation has not been completed. City and provincial police joined forces in the greatest manhunt in the city's history after the almost- nude body of Mrs. Vivian Mytruk, 25, was found July 1 under the back porch of a store near her home. She was last seen Jetting off a bus near her home after finishing a night shift June 20 al' a hos- pital. Police said she had been raped and strangled. The murder touched off fear of more attacks, Taxi companies re- ported women on late shifts called cabs even when their homes were no more than three or four blocks from their place of employment. The search for Mrs. Mytruk's attacker spread to several prov- inces. Reward money for informa- tion leading to the arrest and village. It was an event which had much to do with the progress of the community. That event, the story of which is recorded in the bank's broch- ure, was the running of the first train on the Grand Trunk Rail way from Toronto to Montreal. This event took place on October 27, 1856, the first occasion gE number was left standing on the platform. t a second bration special was to be run, and so they waited in "anticipation for it. It was purely a mythical train, When He train in reached Seiwa: most e pop! n ecom- had assembled at 'the Grand Trunk tracks to see it. Sev- eral residents of the city had re- ceived invitations to travel on the train. Eagerly they stepped for- ward when the train came to a stop, but they met with bitter dis- appointment when they' were told that the train was jammed,and no room remained on it. They, too, which the resid of Osh saw a rallway train pass through their community. The Grand Trunk Railway, the first in Canada to attempt any railway service covering long dis- tances, was incorporated in 1852. It began constructing lines east and west from Montreal, and by the fall of 1856, the line to Toronto was completed and ready for serv- ice. A committee of Montreal :iti- zens decided that the running of the first train between these two cities was an occasion worthy of a celebration, and they organized accordingly. They sent out some 7000 invitations to people in all parts of Canada and in the north- ern and western states. The re- were porarily by the insidious report that a second train was coming along, and they wait- ed patiently, but it never came, But Oshawa now had railway con- with Toronto and Mont- real, and these were soon to oe extended to. places beyond these points. October , 1856, was therefore an important day in the city's history. The trip from Toronto to Mont- real took 15 hours, and the passen- gers were weary long before the lights of Montreal came into sigit and the train rolled into the station at Point St. Charles. The sense of relief at leaving the carriages was heightened by the impressive beauty of the scene.
