'THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gozette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. 5. Oshawa, Ont, Page 6 Friday, October 25, 1957 Old Age Pensions Increase Gratifying To Recipients Introduction in the mons of a bill to increase old age pen- sions to $55 th, basis, has been increased by $120 a ons to $656 a month, as of November your Tor single persons and 9240 a year 1, is highly gratifying to the needy old people who have found it almost impos- sible to make ends meet on the former allowances, While this action is being taken in fulfilment of a pre-election pledge, it is nevertheless fully justified by the economic position in which these people find themselves. Coincident with the increases in old age pensions, there will be increases in pensions for the blind and disabled, in war veterans' allowances and in veter- ans' disability pensions. Thus all the classes whose standard of living was strictly limited by the amounts paid in pensions and allowances by the govern ment, will benefit, There are other important changes in the old age pension laws. The per- missible ceiling of total income for the An Example Fr We have been greatly intrigued by an editorial which appe.red recently in the Moose Jaw Times-Herald. It carried the heading, "Rink-Auditorium Is Es- sential to Community With 80,000 Population." Immediately we thought that if a city of 80000 urgently needs a rink- auditorium, then how much more is one needed in a city like Oshawa, with over 52,000 population, Moose Jaw, however, is doing some- thing about it. At ' the coming civic election, the taxpayers will be voting on a by-law by which the city will make a grant of $200,000 towards construction of the dual purpose building. The Moose Jaw Times-Herald, in giving support to the project, has this to say: "Moose Jaw urgently needs an ice-hockey and skating rink, which at other seasons of the year can be used as an auditorium, A somxmunity the size of Moose Jaw should not be without a rink, er an auditorium ... Quite frankly, we admit that we are anxious #0 see the rink-auditorium conetructed and House of Com- group between 65 and 70, who receive the security allowance on a means test for married persons. This gives people in receipt of this allowance an opportu nity to augment their pension allow- ance by such casual labor as they are able to undertake. A further improvement is the reduc- tion of the qualifying period of resis dence from 20 years to 10 years, which will work to the advantage of those who may have come to Canada since the close of the second world war. On the whole, these improvements in the status of pensioners and the recipi- ents of allowances will meet with the general approval of all Canadians. There are those who are pressing for even higher figures. The general feel- ing, howver, will be that the govern ment has been generous and liberal in the new standards set. om Moose Jaw in use, It will be a community asset of in- estimable value from several viewpoints, First of all, it will make it possible for Moose Jaw again to have hockey teams par ticipating in the Western Canada leagues. High calibre hockey is excellent entertain- ment and will prove to be most valuzble in bullding up the morale of citizens with a sense of pride in this community and its place in the sports world." With a few changes so far as names are concerned, all of this might very well be written of Oshawa. But out west, it appears, the people are very conscious of the need of their commu- nity for a building of this type, and they are to be given an opportun- ity to decide whether or not they are willing to back such a venture financial- { ly. Out there, in addition to the $200,- 000 grant desired from the city, there are other funds available to complete the project. Perhaps this will suggest a pattern for Oshawa to follow in meeting its need for a modern hockey arena.' UN. In Financial Trouble The United Nations is in financial difficulties so far as the cost of main- taining its emergency force in the Near East is concerned. The force has been an admirable success in carrying out its task of preserving the peace in the border areas between Egypt and Isra- ol. But there is grave danger that, un- less the members of the United Nations accept their financial responsibilities for it, the force will have to be disband- ed. Up to the present, the project is some $12,600,000 in arrears. By the ond of the year, the deficit will be even greater. Member nations have contributed $6,880,000 in cash, and some $8,218,000 more has been pledged. But it is noteworthy that most of the pledged funds have been promised by the United States, conditionally upon other member states making equivalent pledges. But since many of the other nations have fallen down in this re- spect, the United States does not feel obligated to pay. Incidentally, co-incident with this re- Editorial Notes The phrase "keeping up with the Jones" is now outdated, since so many people are striving to keep ahead of fi- nance company collectors.

DAILY AVERAGE NET PAID CIRCULATION FOR JUNE 14,948 Delivered Pickering, port from the U.N, Secretary-Genera), there comes a report from Ottawa to the effect that so far Canada has con- tributed more than $1,080,000 to the upkeep and operation of the Emer- gency Force. Thus this country is car- rying more than its fair share, on a basis of population, It is deplorable that such a situation should be allowed to develop by the members of the UNO. The UNEF was created by an almost unanimous vote of the general assembly, It is only na- tural that those countries which voted so enthusiastically for its formation, as a means of preserving peace, should be ready to share the responsibility of fi- nancing its maintenance. While it is presently being financed from the re- serve of the U.N., that cannot go on, as these are not sufficiently large to meet the burden. ; Members of the UN. must be ready to accept their responsibilities as Can- ada has done, for putting into effect the decisions which they supported. Other Editor's Views UNIVERSITY PROBLEM (Red Deer Advocate) What has become clear over the years is that our young people have not been getting from their schooling what they need to use later on in life. Huge expenditures in time, energy and money have to be made each year by almost all universities to bring their fresh- men classes up to a standard where they could hope to absorb university training.

Cor. 1:14, ANOTHER MULTI-STAGE ROCKET OTTAWA REPORT Business Women Given Recognition By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Correspondent to The Daily Times-Gazette Ottawa: Prime Minister John Diefenbaker struck a blow for the rights--and for the hearts -- of Canada's women when he addres- sed the provincial conference of e and Pr Women's Clubs of Ontario here last weekend. The time is ripe, he suggested, for women to take that position in our national life which is their natural right and their earned privilege. That this is a very real belief of our prime minister, and not merely lip-service to a tran- sient female audience, has been shown by his innovation of ap- Ottawa by conventioneers or by tourists from any Jan of Can. ada. The Sarnia delegation of business and professional women gathered in the parliamentary of- fice of their long-time and popu- lar member, Joseph Warner Murphy. I was lucky to walk into his office while he was entertain- ing the 10 charming ladies from Sarnia, and it stretched my cred- ulity when he introduced them: not, as they appeared to me, as elegantlydressed leaders of fash- ion, or as someone's dearly-loved Mum or as society matrons, but, as they were, as delegates of "busi and pr ional wo- men." NEW HAT STYLE pointing a to the cabinet. His choice, Hamilton's active b of Parli t and former active business wo- man Mrs. Ellen Fairclough, is the first woman ever appointed to the cabinet in Ottawa. The achievements of the con- ference of business and profes- sional women have already been reported fully in the papers. What I have not seen stressed was the leading role played by Southwest- era Ontario's boom town. The del- egation from Sarnia brought an invitation to the conference to hold its annual meeting there next year; an Invitation which was supported by the city coun- cil and the chamber of com- merce. TRIBUTE TO SARNIA Other sites were considered, notably St. Catharines, but Sar- nia was selected to follow out capital city as meeting place for this convention. Perhaps this was largely a tribute to the B. and P.W, 'Club there, which is prob- ably the most active and fastest- growing in the country. The Sarnia club's outstanding increase in membership was re- cognized by award of the Elsie Gregory MacGill trophy at the convention. This was won by a jump of 18 per cent in its mem- bership during the year, and that growth has promptly been ce- mented by a subsequent jump of another 10 per cent. Members of Parliament are al- ways a focal point for a visit to Prominent among' the 'officials of course was president Mrs. C. M. Muir, A past president and regional adviser, Mrs. J. W, Fos- ter attracted attention by topping off her smart attire with one of those big « brimmed flat hats in the style strikingly popularized here by the wife of the new prime minister, Its was Mrs. Foster who was largely responsible for a recent important ¢hange in pro- vincial legislation, under which a grant of $300 is made for the training of each student nurse. That grant is worth some $19,000 a year to the Sarnia general hos- pital, Another past president, Miss Helen MacArthur, was named as chairman of next year's confer. ence in Sarnia, an interesting ap- pointment in view of the fact that Oil Springs near Sarnia will next year be celebrating the centenary of the discovery of the first ofl well in North America. What makes this significant is that Miss MacArthur in her "business and professional" life is a secre- tary with Imperial Oil, She is also a staunch supporter of her local MP, "Murph" Murphy, and works as organizer in his riding. The enthusiasm of the Sarnia B. and P.W, was well evidenced, I thought, by Mrs, Foster's visit to this conference, Taking up all her weekend, she flew in from Sarnia after noon on Friday, at- tended the convention for two days, then flew back to Sarnia be+ fore the weekend break was over, FOR BETTER HEALTH ' Have Nursery All Ready Before New Baby Comes AERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. K'VE got a few words of advice for you expectant mothers and fathers--plan for your infant's afrival well before it's time for him to check in, Shop early for the nursery fur- niture 're going to need and you will often save both time and money. The most important rule to fol- low when looking for nursery furniture is to buy only what you and the baby will need. Don't buy so much stuff that there won't be room for the baby when he ar- rives. Buying quality: merchandise also pays off in the long run, After all, you'll want more than one child. Good nursery furniture can provide a lot of usage. First of all, you are going to need a crib. While some parents prefer to keep a newborn baby in a bassinet or basket, these soon prove too small. You'll soon have to get a crib, anyway. Make sure the crib you get has at least one side which can be adjusted as far as height is con- cerned, It'll make it a lof easier to put the baby to bed and to take him out again PREVENT BACKACHE Adjustable springs which per- mit you raise or lower the mat. tress also will help prevent back- aches for, mother and father At least one side; of the crib should be equipped with a plastic taathing rail, Once he can atand and begins to cut teeth, your tot will chew on anything. Not only are plastic rails easier to keep clean and sanitary, but they pre- vent the baby from marking the crib with unsightly teeth marks. Also, as I have pointed out, you'll probably want to use the crib again in the future. HANDY BATH TABLE A bath table is almost a neces- sity in a nursery. It provides a safe, easy way to bathe the baby and, probably and even more im- portant, a handy place to change and dress him. Whether you will want a chif. forobe or chest of drawers is up to you. Each has certain advan- tages. If you have room, maybe you'll want to get both, A chifforobe has drawer space on one side for diapers, blankets, underclothing and the like, and a hanging compartment on the other side for suits, dresses, coats and things you don't want to keep in a drawer Of course, if you've got plenty of closet space in your home, a chest of drawers may be all that you need for baby's clothes QUESTION AND ANSWER R. F.: 1 have heard of a new drug that is being used. to treat dandruff. Can you tell me about this? Answer: A new drug now being used very effectively in trecting dandruff and seborrheic dernia- titis is selenium sulfide, However, it should be used only under the eareful direction of a physician.

The program calls for major changes in space allocations in eight academic divisions and five university services: Estimated cost is $50,000,000 at present-day construction prices. Recommendations for the pro- am were contained in a report y a 12-man committee appointed by the university last year. The ittee recom major and immediate changes in space allocations in academic di visions for the faculties of arts, applied science and engineering, dentistry, pharmacy, law, the school of architecture, the depart- ment of psychiatry and the Royal Conservatory of Music of To- ronto. FIRST STAGE PLAN Major changes were #lso rec- ded for 's and men's residences, the university library, offices for undergraduate activities and administration and men's athletic faclities. These will be constructed .in the first four-year stage of the program. The report recalled that some time ago approximately 33 acres adjoining the university's present midtown campus became avail. able for expansion. This addi- tional property fi=ures in the 12- year-expansion plan. The committee asked the uni. versity's board of gevernors to take immediate steps in seeking the establishment of another uni. versity in the'Metropolitan Tor- onto area. NOT' A "BLUEPRINT" Although the board of govern- ors has approved the report in principle, the report cannot be considered as a blueprint for the future, a universily spokesman said. Each step in the report will require separate study, authoriz- ation and financing. The expansion program will be carried out in three four - year stages, ending in the 1968-69 aca- demic year when the university expects to accommodate 23,000 students, double its present ca- pacity. --g And CHINESE COAL Coal deposits in China have been estimated at more than 244.000.000.000 tons. cy of the a i Asso ciation, There were sixteen Tank. ard and twelve District Cup groups, A number of local Boy Scouts visited the woodcraft exhibition at Whitby.

So far as we can make out from it, Mr. believes un- fons should engage in political ac tion, that in fact they must go further than mere endorsation, but that the decision as to what form that action should take must career, be made by the unions them- thi selves and not imposed by any political party.

If the vote is negative, the meaning is obvious--no steps will be necessary to change existing liquor regulations. If the vote is 51 per cent or more affirmative, it will be up to .the governmnet to determine what effect it will have on the present situation. In any case, there will be no sudden change in Alberta's drink. ing habits. The question, to which a yes or no answer will be given with an "X" marking, is plain and 'simple -- Do you approve addi- tional types of outlets for the sale of beer, wine and spirituous liquor subject to "a local vote? Roughly 550,000 persons will be eligible to give an answer, EXPRESSES OPINION Premier E. C. Manning has made it clear the result of the vote is binding on no one; it is an expression of opinion. He also has made it clear that a negative vote will not be an approval of the province's exist- ing liquor regulations, stating this is not at issue in the plebis- cite. The government's official posi- tion also is clear, unchanged from last spring when it accepted a report of a legislature commit- tee which said no additional types of outlets should be al lowed. The premier also has clearly List 17 Problems With Rockets WASHINGTON (AP) -- There are 17 problems about rockets and 'space travel, it says here, that the United States govern. ment like solve Sputnik doesn't show on the list. But there's something just as good or better -- 'aerial plat- forms, manned or unmanned, for observation 'and missile launch- ing." This is one of 387 technical puzzles presented in a 34-page catalogue just issued by the com- merce department under the title "Inventions Wanted by, the Armed Forces." Some of the wants are right out'of science fiction. For exam- nle. a death ray. would somebody to opposed additional types of out. lets. He holds that existing facili ties in Alberta are sufficient to meet the rights of the indivdual. BY THE BOTTLE Under Alberta's present liquor regulations, the public may pur- chase alcoholic beverages by the bottle from government liquor stores. Beer is sold by the glass and bottle in beer parlors and by the case in government liquor stores, certain brewery outlets and beer parlors. Liquor by the 58 be obtained only in feemmen clubs. Premier Manning says the plebiscite will establish the prin. ciple of whether new types of outlets should be permitted. He said no matter what the outcome the government will maintain the I ibility for decision on any changes. So far it had given no consideration to a second step. The plebiscite results from a resolution approved by the le lature last spring in'a vote that cut across party lines.

Pearson Seems Liberal Top Man By DAVE McINTOSH Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)--Canada's for. mer external affairs minister, Hon. Lester B. Pearson, apppears to 'be a shoo-in for the Liberal leadership. ' The key word is "appears." Liberal members of the Com- mons seem to feel that the for- mer external affairs minister will win the Jan. 14-16 Liberal leader- ship convention here hands down. But there are hundreds of dele- gates to the convention who are not MPs and whose votes, in the long rum, will count the most. Some observers believe that Hon, Paul Martin, the: former health minister, will make it a close fight. Mr. Martin spossibly knows more people personally than any man in Canada. MARLER POSSIBLE There is also a fairly good chance that Hon. George Marler, bilingual Protestant from Mont- real and former transport minis- ter, will contest the leadership. But the feeling is that he would be a dark horse, the Commons--until Chances of Hon. Walter Harrls, former finance minister who was defeated in last 's gene eral election, are considered y He may not even be hominated for the leadership. Many Liberal Ps feel that Mr. Peafson, an English-speak- ing Protestant from Ontario, has backing in every part of Canada, including Quebec. They say he can win the leadership even if he had not won the 1957 Nobel Peace Prize. FEW SPEECHES Mr. Pearson has made few, if any, strictly political speeches in VVedne:day when he went after the Progre:- sive Conservatives on trade pol icy. He appears to want the Liheral leadership now, compared to a time when he might nave 'been more interested in accepling a post as NATO secretary-general, One Liberal said Mr. Pearson regards leadership of the Liberal party as a real challenge, much as he has regarded kast-West diplomatic negotiations as a ehal- lenge,
