THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETT Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe 5t. 5, Oshawa, Ont, Poge 6 Friday, October 11, 1957 Higher Bank Rate Alone Will Not Halt Inflation We are now beginning to receive coples of British newspapers which deal with the increase In the bank rate over there from b per cent to 7 per cent. This move, a step, In the fight against steady Inflation which is bedevilling the British economy, has been both pointed and pithy, According to the political leanings of the newspapers, it is both pralsed and condemned, The Economist of London, however, takes a neutral viewpoint, and while it does not criticize this as a measure of inflation control, it takes the view that it is not in itself sufficient for that pur- pose, The views of The Economist, which we quote, are interesting ;-- "I Increases in wages far in excess of in ereases in productivity were not annually secured by the trade unions, then the other elements of cost Inflation in Britain could be brought unger control, And if cost Inflation could be brought under control, there would be no flight from the pound, and the prob lems of current and capital balance of pay- ments could be solved by quite minor ad- Justments, If income inflation is not brought under control, minor adjustments or for that matter---major ones--will be of no real avail, Any MP who does not talk about this, as well as about the monetary conditions making spiralling wage payments possiblé, will not be talking about the econ. omies of 1067." This is a commonsense view of the situation, So Is its conclusion that part of the blame for the inflation must lie with the trade unions, to which exhor- tations to exercise restraint in wage demands are unavailing. While our situation in Canada may not be as serious as it is in the United Kingdom, this country is nevertheless feeling the harmful effects of inflation. And perhaps one of the reasons may be that which is pointed out by The Eco- nomist in discussing the British situa- tion, France Will Not Face Facts France is in the midst of another of its frequent political crises, The gove ernment of Bourgas-Manoury has been defeated, after a short life, and other faction which demands that the war against the Algerian Nationalists must be founght out to the bitter end, Yet even its members are divided, There \ A KG CTs WELFARE NEEDS "y y LIGHT AS As = [IF ALL oF US Pe OUR PAR 2 RRR --------------------EMG HOW ABOUT YOU MAC'S MEDITATIONS Lessons Of The Russian Satellite By M.

Ing quickly, This is set out In a confidential memorandum of royal protocol revised for Cana dian usage which Is being circu. lated here, It would be helpful to Her Ma- jesty If whoever she Is meeting would start the conversation says this memorandum, The old pro- tocol of waiting for the monarch to speak first Is a dead duck, partly killed by the Queen's shy- ness, and given the coup - de- grace by her lack of Intimacy with the conversational topic of interest to her Canadian subjects, Dress will be a lot less formal than is usual when the court Is in London, even in modern Brit ain, Women, for example, may wear colored dresses at the social gatherings arranged for Her Ma- josty, The old idea that dresses must be black Is a misconcep- tion dating back to the times of long coust mourning Imposed by Queen Victoria for her husband, And those skin-ight once - in - a- lifetime long white gloves which women used to wear in formal dress have now gone into the mu. seum where they belong. FORMAL DAY CLOTHES At the state opuning of Parlia- ment, televiewers will see the unusual spectacle of all the cab. inet in formal day clothes, Us- ually only the Governor-General and the prime minister wear tall coats and striped pants. But for this occasion, the highlight of the CBC's $250,000 television plans for the royal visit, all cabinet mine isters will wear knee-length tail couts, The one exception Is State Secretary Farclough, who will wear a floor-length dress rather than a knee lengih coat, being our first woman cabinet minister, 'Most inappropriate for us to wear those clothes," Hon, Mike Starr, minister of labor, grum- bled to me, "After all, you called us the taxi-cabinet so we should wear taxi clothes not carriage: trade coats," This, however, will be a taxi trade royal visit, not an exclusive carriage-trade affair, There will be a minimum of the stiff formal receptions, no more than Is de. manded by the protocol of diplo- matic and state officials and thelr wives bowing and curtsying to the Queen, And there again is an. other manner In which royal pro- tocol is being democratized to sult North American ideas, A slight nod of the head for men and a "bob" for women Is to take the place of the low bow from the waist and the full cure tsy for women on being presented to the Queen, AIRPORT WELCOME The largest gathering during the visit Is expected to be at the airport when the royal airliner lands after its non - stop flight from England, No less than 30+ men, women and largely chile dren are expected to be gathered there. Hundreds of sightseers are Somingi up even from across the border, while Ottawans will be re. inforced by visitors from all parts of Canada who have already booked up every possible bed. room in hotels, motels and tours ist homes, A blanket invitation to. come to the airport to greet the Queen has been issued by the com- mander of Uplands RCAF base, Group Captain Mussells, More than 10,000 cars are expected there, and the only highway glv- ing access to the airport is ex- cted to be inextricably jammed lor as long as It takes the Rus. slan moon to make four coms plete circuits of the world, A carnival atmosphere Is being set up at Uplands, with two bands to entertain the crowds, numer ous refreshment booths fo feed the multitude, and rest-room fa- clifties adjoining the spectator enclosures, Nearby, for the curs fous to see and the hungry to patrionize, stands the only hotdog stand In the world owned by the Queen, The elaborate and odoriferous short-order bar, under its varl. colored striped roof, is located at the Hog's Back bathing beach be- side the airport. Operated by a concessionaire, it stands on Crown land and hence is de- scribed as the Queen's snack bar, Her arrival is likely to give It its record day's trade. Her ar- rival is also likely to see a rec. ord set for Ottawa's largest crowd attending a free outdoor entertainment, exceeding the gathering at the dog derby, the midway parade, or Santa Claus' annual arrival in town, FOR BETTER HEALTH To Avoid Getting Ulcers Blow Your Top Privately HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD I'S a good idea to let off some steam every time you feel the need. It might keep you from developing an ulcer PICK PROPER PERSON Of course, exploding at the wrong moment to the wrong per- son also might very well lead you to the unemployment line or the divorce court, But by wisely choosing the proper person to tell your troubles to, you gen erally can avert any serious con sequences Emotional stress such as re. sentiment makes the Juices se. creted by your stomach strong er, This can, and often does, lead to formation of ulcers. There. fore, a aslmple way to pre- vent this from happening is to get rid of any pent-up anger Say the boss bawls you oul Olay, you don't want to talk back to him, but you've got to sound off to somebody, Why not try vour spouse? Let her know what goes on in the office or plant, especially when something goes wrong Most wives would be willing to share their husbands' problems if they were only given the chance If this still doesn't ease your Sepalon, you can take B out secretly -- on the boss himself, Get a pleture of the boss or even the building where you work. Then go down to the base. ment or to your recreation room, hang the picture on the wall and hurl darts at it. A couple of bulls eyes and your anger probably will subside. this Isn't practical, try whacking a golf ball or baseball, anything (but not your wife) that will help you 'get it out of your system.' The perfect solution Is to sound off when the distributing factor occurs Some of you more fortunate employes or employers can get away with it. But for the aver. age guy, the one who can't say much without danger of losing his job, the best plan Is to take your plovlem home where you can blow your top In private QUESTION AND ANSWER P, G..

"The Issue of America's 'ex. ploitation' of Canada's natural resources by the United States investors has been raised in Can- ada chiefly at the political level" The Times says, "But one g 'hers from the statement" issued following the meetings of the joint U.8.Cana- dian committee on trade and eco- nomic affairs "that whether these apprehensions are genuine oi not, they are not shared by the present Canadian governs ment which has no intention of taking any steps to curb the in. flow of American dollars," The Times adds: "Basically more important, perhaps, than any of the . , . ine dividual issues is the fact , , . that the elegates from both countries were in agreement on general domestic economic polls cles such as economic expansion coupled with stability and with the principles of international trade embodied in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade."

Traffic engineers believe that our present road mileage will be adequate to take care of this travel, But mueh more modern roads will be needed. This will apply particularly to the urban areas, They cause the big jam in movement of traffic, and the opinion of some experts is that the ony answer Is for the province to take over all through roads. As it works out now, the prov- ince pavs a 50 per cent subsidy, but the local through roads are sasentially a municipal responsi This does not make for the best development, For one thing local councils must think prim. arily of the need of the residents, while the first purpose of the roads concerned in most cases Is to move traffic through the town, A survey of municipal roads is now being carried out.
