Lo A SIR T8. 5 SN a ---- has THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S, Oshawa, Ont, Wednesday, July 9, 1958 Poge 4 For Better Understanding Of Neighborly Problems * By this time, Prime Minister Diefen- baker and President Eisenhower may have been able to make a good start on the proposal to set up a joint Canadian~- U.S. parliamentary body, We hope so. The joint committee of cabinet minis- ters, organized to deal with points of friction and particularly economic dif- ferences between the two countries, has never operated with much success. The new body would be made up of Canadian members of Parliament and members of the U.S, Congress, It of- fers more hope of effective co-opera= tion than the cabinet combination, This does not mean that the cabinet group should be dropped. On the con- trary, the cabinet-level discussions of Canadian-U.S. problems should con- tinue. The proposed parliamentary committee. would be the needed sup- plement, the "bit extra" that is re- quired to make Canada's side of any argument better understood in Wash= ington. J The trouble has stemmed from the American parliamentary system. The U.S. ministers do not sit in Congress; they are not elected; and consequently they must be sensitive to the way the winds of opinion are blowing in the Senate and the House of Representa- tives. It is often more convenient for a U.S. minister to dodge a Canadian complaint than to try to sell the Cana- dian viewpoint to a bloc of hostile Con= gressmen, Obviously, with Canadian parliamen- tarians discussing mutual problems with their American counterparts, the U.S. ministers could find the ground prepared for their suggestions or solu- tions. The Canadian ministers, of course, sit in Parliament, take part in the daily debates, and do not have the same communication difficulties or re= gional voting blocs to contend with. Altogether, this should be a construc=.. tive step forward in Canadian-U.S. un- derstanding, Getting Rid Of The Boss Two or three years ago an English professor worked out a formula that immediately became known as Parkin- son's Law -- a logicai development, since the professor's name is C, North- cote Parkinson. The Law dealt with the inevitable expansion of such large organizations as the civil service, its principle being that "work expands so as to fill the time available for it. com= pletion," or more staff members create more work for each other. It was awitty as well as a biting commentary on the expansive tendencies of bureaucracy. Now Professor Parkinson has turned his sharp mind to the problem of get- ting rid of the boss, He has some ruth- less advice for those who find them- selves frustrated by a boss who con- tinues to sit at his desk, "experienced, energetic and shrewd," though well past the age of 70 and looks quite cap- able of working on efficiently until he is 95. Professor Parkinson offers the solu- tion in two words: air travel. His theory is this: "To get rid of the chairman of the board, all you must do is to insist that he attends plenty of international cone ferences, held at places far apart and to be reached in time only by a series of rapid non-stop flights. It does not matter what the conferences are about, The thing is to ensure that they offer the most violent changes of tempera- ture, He should be hurled from the equator to the arctic, from Quebec to Basra, with scarcely time to breathe, The pleasing result is that he is always emerging from a pressurized aircraft wearing thick tweeds and carrying an overcoat in a ground temperature of 105 degrees -- a procedure only varied when his clothes are tropical 'and the ground temperature well below zero." While in the air the chairman must be kept busy filling in forms in answer to imbecilic questions, His sleep must be interrupted and his meals come at the most irregular times. All these ex- periences have the effect of making him feel his age, and that is the time to put the pressure on by urging the necessity of his attending more conferences. "By this time," the professor theorizes, "you will see in his eyes the haunted look of one who admits defeat. He will have retired by the end of the year." Polio Prevention Week This is Polio Prevention Week, and Health Minister Mackinnon Phillips has called upon all citizens of Ontario to double check their medical records to make certain all persons under 40 years of age have received the recom- mended dosage of polio vaccine. The Provincial Government has made vaccine available to all physicians in Ontario without charge since Jan, 1, 1958, and anyone can arrange vaccina- tion through an office visit to his fam- ily doctor. The shots are painless and no after-effects have been noted. It is the same vaccine that has been given so successfully to children from six months to 18 years. Curiously, adults have been slow to take advantage of this form of protection against a crip- pling and sometimes fatal disease, It seems that adults are not accus- tomed to the .dea of immunization for themselves, and many still have the idea that polio is a disease of children. In actual fact, the one fatal case oc= curring in 1958 to date has been the 43« year-old father of three young chil= dren -- every other member of his family had had the polio vaccine, A first shot given now will provide some protection in about a month, ac= cording to information from the March of Dimes organization. The second shot, given a month after the first, will sta=- bilize a degree of immunity in most cases within about three weeks. But for sure protection, these should be follow- ed in five to seven months from the first dose by a third dose, However, if the program is started now, the first two doses will provide some immunity before the end of August -- a peak period of incidence in Ontario in most recent epidemic years, It costs little and may save so much. Quebec Press Angered When Premier Duplessis had a re- porter from Le Devoir kicked out of his press conference "recently, he was acting in character, Le grand Maurice is an autocrat, and he does not greatly care who know. it, But at the same time, he probably had no idea that he was stirring up a mess of trouble for himself. Le Devoir was the newspaper that ran a series of sensations] articles deal- ing with the sale of Quebec Hydro's gas distributing system in Montreal to the privately-owned Quebec Natural Gas Corporation.

Untario; profited in one way or another from the sale, Other newspapers in Quebec treated the report with great caution-- until the Premier showed his anger against Le Devoir by barring its repre= sentative from his press conference. The Quebec newspapermen's organi= zation protested immediately. There was talk of a boycott. And now the Federation of Printing Trades has made a formal protest. The Federation has asked the Pre- mier for "assurance that in the future each professional journalist, duly ase signed by his newspaper to assist in your press conferences with the aim of informing the public, can exercise free- ly his trade , , . We demand on your part a precise reply that would put an end to the apprehension of all citizens on the respect of the freedom of the press in the Province of Quebec." This is not the first time that Mr. Duplessis has acted with angry arro- gance, but it is probably the first time that he has overtly attacked the free- dom of the provincial press. Heretofore he has used gentler methods. It could turn out to be one of his biggest mis= takes, Bible Thought Ye cannot serve God and Mammon. We must make one or other our chief interest.

This belief in the essential need for extra income to meet tciay's living cost, is shown acro.. the provinces. Interviewers for the Gallup Poll asked the same question for today's report, as they did in the previous study. "WHAT IS THE SMALLEST AMOUNT OF MONEY A FAM- ILY OF FOUR (HUSBAND, WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN) NEEDS EACH WEEK TO GET ALONG IN THIS COUNTRY?" Amounts ran from under $35 a week to incomes of more than $85 a week, but people's ideas of what constitutes a minimum income are fairly evenly divid- ed into the income levels into which replies were set, as shown below. Minimum weekly income: MAC'S MEANDERINGS QUEEN'S PARK Hydro Mural May Cause Explosion By DON O"HEARN Special Correspondent fo The Daily Times-Gazetle TORONTO---Here's some food for thought. It happens through marketing vote. The CCF, of course, wants the vote to succeed. And it has one very powerful argument. 4 It says that nothing less than a strong marketing program will do. Why? Because no matter what other measures might be taken the government can't be depended on to enforce them. And as proof of the pudding it cites the situation in hogs back in the late 40s. At that time, it alleges, the meat packers were required by law to meet with the producers and set a price for the export quota. But they refused to do this. And the government did nothing to make them. HABIT OF DEMOCRACY Whether this is right or not, the situation does put the finger on what is probably the worst bad habit of democratic government-- at least as practiced in this coun- try. This is to pass law and then not enforce it. You can see it in all areas of government. In our statutes there is law af- ter law which is not enforced, or only policed with the greatest re- luctance and after strong pres- sure. The laws against pollution, the hog OTTAWA REPORT Diefenbaker Stage For Talks 4 By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Correspondent to The Daily Times-Gazette OTTAWA -- President Eisen- hower, accompanied by his chief adviser on international relations, John Foster Dulles, is visiting Prime Minister Diefenbaker in Ottawa this week. This is the first visit of the U.S. president to our capital since Mr. Diefenbaker became prime min- ister; but it is not the first meet- ing of the two government heads since that date. This visit is a formal return of the visit which Mr. Diefenbaker paid to Wash- ington last fall when he accom- panied Queen Elizabeth to our neighbor's capital. However, owing to the hurried nature and full ceremonial pro- gram of that earlier meeting, this is the first occasion on which our prime minister and our neigh- bor's president will be able to in- dulge in full, free and frank dis- cussions of world affairs as they affect our two countries. On the eve of his departure for Canada, Mr. Eisenhower was given some outspoken and timely advice on U.S.-Canadian relations by one of his supporters, Senator George D. Aiken, a Republican from Vermont who is a member of the Senate foreign relations committee, TOLD ABOUT CANADA The senator recalled that his committee recently devoted "a full day of hearings' to the sub- ject of United States policy with respect to Canada. To some of us, a study of that length would appear all too inadequate for a subject of such immense and hith- erto overlooked importance! How- ever, it was a start. The commit- tee heard, and questioned, two prominent American citizens whose jobs fit them to be experts on that subject. The first was Livingston Merchant, the U.S. ambassador to Canada; the sec- ond was Dr. Percy Corbett, from the widely famous Centre for In- ternational Studies at Princeton University The senator also called on evi- dence from the Canadian side, in making his speech; choosing a witness no less eminent than Prime Minister Diefenbaker, He ol though in a better state now, were a notable example for years. Although the province had ex- treme powers to stop pollution it took a crisis for it to use them. Other cases are in labor law. There is without question timid- ity about using a big stick against either management or labor. The liquor laws are full of fur- ther examples. (It is an offence, for instance, to serve a drunk. But how oiten have you ever seen it stopped by the law?) WEAKENS SYSTEM The thinking behind this gen- eral laxity is that it is "demo- cratic" to avoid use of force. A hang-over from the Nazi and Communist influence. But if this isn't muddled it cer- tainly would seem to be weak thinking. Results would indicate exactly the opposite should hold true. That only strong enforcement would make for good democracy. The experience in marketing speaks a lesson. In farm market- ing the community is undoubtedly heading more and more into practices which are less and less democratic, And yet one can't put up a whole-hearted argument against them. For strong need can be shown. If other laws had been en- forced this need probably would not have existed. And this is not a lone situa- tion. One can find many others which would go to show we might be better off with weaker laws if that is necessary to have the law enforced. Set went so far as to have incorpor- ated in the printed record of his speech in the U.S. Senate the whole of a speech recently deliv- ered by Mr. Diefenbaker in Mid- dletown, Conn. One might wonder why a man s0 busy as our prime minister would sacrifice a Sunday in the midst of a parliamentary session to fly 1,000 miles to such a small town to receive an honorary de- gree from its small and in Can- ada little known university. But it is subsequent events such as Senator Aiken's speech which re- * veal the great importance which can be attached to such occasions. For as is now evident, our prime minister chose that small univer- sity as a forum, in which to de- liver a pungent, constructive speech; a speech such as he had no opportunity for delivering else- where, say in Canada, for the di- rect attention of the U.S. govern- ment. But there, on that quiet Sunday afternoon on a Connecti- cut campus, he set out Canada's proposals for improving Canada- U.S. relations and his words were heard and repeated in the U.S. legislative councils. PROBLEMS LISTED We must hope and may assume that President Eisenhower and his advisers have observed and digested the speech by Senator Aiken and the speech by our prime minister which the senator both quoted and tabled. Thus at least our Amerivan visitors here are aware of those of their ac- tions whicii present problems to us. v These include the trade imbal- ance, dumping farm products, restricting oil imports and the general charge that America and Americans are patronizing, over- bearing and ill-informed about Canada. It is very obvious from the sen- ator's remarks that Mr. Diefen- baker's proposal to divert some of our surplus purchases from the U.S. to other countries, no- tably Britain, which would recip- rocate trade to our advantage, has struck home. Mr. Diefen- baker has been criticized by those of little faith and of even littler foresight in Canada for publicly making that proposal. Now we see it in its true light, + Rotarians. BYGONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO A charter was granted to a company to be known as "Hotel Genosha Ltd." Total price for the hotel property and itt con- tents was fixed at $75,000. An op- portunity was provided for local citizens to participate in the new hotel company offering. At the graduating exercises of St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto, Miss Elizabeth Webster, of Osh- awa, won a scholarship for one year's post-graduate public health course at the University of To- ronto. At the opening night of Rotary Fair, thousands of people flocked to Rotary Park and gave gener- ous support to the efforts of the During the colorful parade, splendid floats and dis- plays were in keen competition for prizes. Fred Warren, of Trail, B.C, former local businessman, was a visitor, While in Oshawa, he was with his father for a time in the tannery business and later oper- ated a book store until he moved west, Ed. Minard, formerly with Hudson-Essex, was. appointed to the sales staff of the Ontario Mo- tor Sales Ltd. Over 300 Kiwanians assembled in the city for an Inter-City Sport Day. Riverdale Club of To- ronto won premier honors in the championship competitions. Lind- say won at softball. The evening banquet was a brilliant affair. George H. Ross, of Toronto, and other outside members spoke. Mrs. Allan Gordon, Albert St., won the Rotary car. The winning ticket was drawn by Mayor James, of Bowmanville, West Coast it Ship Tieup Stalemated OTTAWA (CP) -- The tieup of the CPR's west coast shipping fleet, begun eight eeks ago Wednesday, remains at a stale- mate after a new failure of fed- eral government efforts to break the strike impasse. The issue may come before the cabinet today if the ministers squeeze in a cabinet meeting on a day that Parliament is sitting and President Eisenhower is ar- riving for a visit, Labor Minister Starr was ex- pected to report to the cabinet at the first opportunity, after initial failure Monday in a personal at- tempt to resolve the dispute. An aide said it was hoped he could discussl t with fellow ministers oday. Following meetings with offi- cials of the CPR and the striking Seafarers' International Union (CLC), Mr. Starr would say only: "All avenues of settlement were explored but the parties were un- able to agree on a formula for the settlement of the dispute." Spokesmen for the CPR and the SIU would add nothing to this. There was no indication as to whether either had yielded any ground. The union, whose striking 320 members have tied up 10 ships and between 1,100 and 1,200 per- sonnel, has based its last known demand on a wage increase of 16 per cent this year and another of nine per cent next year. The com- pany has offered eight per cent. CHARGE GALT YOUTHS « WOODSTOCK (CP) Cecil Eckinswiller, 22, and Richard Goldrick, 21, both of Galt, were charged Monday with armed rob- béry in Friday night's holdup of a general store at Canning, five miles west of Paris. Storekeeper liam Naumak was robbed of 25. as a stalesmanlike act with a shrewd patriotic undercurrent, designed to awaken Americans to their unfair trade with us their best customer. This week may well be the time when our heads of government together, here in Ottawa, plan a future which would hold more mutual understanding and. co- operation and less American self- ishness. If so, the harvest from Mr. Diefenbaker's brilliant and diplomatic handling of this old, old problem will indeed be as bounteous as it will be swift, Church Fete Has Unusual Features By M. McINTYRE HOOD (Special London Correspdonent to The Times-Gazette). LONDON -- We are very ra- pidiy becoming indoctrinated into the way of life of the little Eng- lish village of Stanmore. We are meeting people, making new friends, being invited into their homes, and are being given an opportunity to share in their com- munity activities. The friendliness of the people has been heartening. At first, we were afraid that the traditional reserve of the English people might make it difficult to make new friends. We hesitated to make approaches, for fear of meeting with a rebuff. Our fears have been dispelled. Both of us have beer welcomed into circles in which we could find matters of interest. Bess has been welcomed to a meeting of the Towns- women's Guild of Stanmore, a sort of urban counterpart of the Women's Institutes. We have peen welcomed into the member- ship of the Stanmore Cricket Club, not, of course, as a player, but as one interested in watching good games of cricket. So Stan- more is gradually beginaing to feel like home. SUMMER GARDEN FETE The other afternoon we had an interesting and enjoyable exper- ience. We were taken by one of our new-found friends to a sum- mer garden fete of the local Angl can Church, It was held on the spacious lawns of the church grourds, where a huge marquee had been set up to house the chief stalls, Fortunately, after a dull morning, the sun shone glor- jousiy all afternoon. Hundreds of people attended and the coffers of the church were considerably enhanced by the outpouring of money from the pockets of the crowd. The stalls were the typical sort, but we were interested in the all- out co-operation of all the church groups in taking part. The Girl Guides had a stall at which they distributed canned and bottled goods for pantry shelves. The Young Wives group sold cos- metics. The Mothers' Union had a booth with home and garden pro- duce. The Dramatic Society of the church had a household goods stand. The church wardens spon- sored a hand linen stall. The Fioral Art group had a wonderful array of floral arrangements and of plants for the garden to offer to the patrons. The Sunday Schools sponsored a stall for mystery parcels, drawn by number. The Derby and Joan Club, made up of the senior citi- zens, sold boxes of stationery, and another Sunday School group had a confectionery stall. The Rectory Stall was a sort of white elephant stall, with all kinds of goods for sale. INGENIOUS FEATURE Ingenuity was seen in a grea variety of sideshows. The most enterprising group was the troop of Boy Scouts. They had rigged up an aerial runway, with a cable stretched to a tall tree, with the end about 40 feet up in the air. The other end was anchored. With a clever arrangement of pulleys and ropes, erected by themselves, they provided rides up into the air on a chair. Three Scouts on the end of a long rope pulled the chair and its occupant right up to' the tree. Then they Jet go the rope, and the rider came spinning down to the lower end with almost frightening speed. The charge was sixpence a ride and it was popular. There was a long queue all afternoon waiting for rides on the aerial runway. There was a record bar oper- ated by the teenagers, at which payment of three pence, any re- cord desired wouid be played. There was a graphologist, read- ing character from handwriting for a fee of two shillings. There was the inevitable coconut shy, a cricket game at which there was a cash reward for bowling out the batter, a stand at which top hats, on the heads of young men, stuck up over a curtain, and invited the narticipants to "tip the topper'. There were donkey rides for the children and a host of other games. And in the ancient church hali, a building of glorious anti- quity with huge there was a tea-room. LIQUOR AS PRIZES Our eyer opened wide, however, when we noted the number of draws and raffles and the nature of some of the prizes. Among the draws were some for bottles of whiskey, gin, port 'wine, sherry and even champagne, Nobody hewn beams, seemed to find anything wrong with that. They were popular raffles, judging from the number of people buying tickets. We tried to imagine the reaction if a chureh garden party or bazaar in Oshawa were to come along and offer prizes of that kind for raffles. Yet it was accepted here. EXCELLENT BAND MUSIC One of the features we enjoyed was an excellent band concert by the band of the Stanmore Fighter Station of the Royal Air Force, which is jocated within the limits of the village. It played delightful music, reminiscent of some of the concerts at Oshawa's Memorial Park bandshell. The most popular selections, we felt, was that of the music of *'Okla- homa". Among the special events at the fete was a children's play, presented in the garden of an adjoining home, demonstrations of floral arrangements, at one chilling admission; a demonstra- tion of Japanese fioral art, and a gymnastic display by the Church Lads' Brigade. It was in every sense.a com- pletely co-operative effort, with every group in the life of the church joining to make it a suc- cess, We have gone into some of its features in detail, because some of them were novel and might give some good ideas to Oshawa groups desirous of rais- ing money by a similar type of outdocr garden fete. We elimin- ate from that category, of course, the liquor raffles, which would never be countenanced in our puritanical Ontario. $65 - $74 $75 . $84 ... $85 and over . Don't know 00% Half the adult population (52 per cent) name as minimum an- nual income a sum of $2,860 or more. Of these abqut a third (30 per cent) believe it has to be a figure of $3,900 or over, In most of the occupational groups, Canadians name a fig- ure as a median, between $62 and $65. Among farmers how- ever, demands are lower, with the average estimate at $45 a week. Men and women in Ontario give the highest level for mini. mum income, with Quebec not far behind. The Maritimes and Western figure is considerably lower. This is the same pattern as that shown in the 1954 study. In all areas, however, the mini. mum requirements have ine creased during the past four years, : Median Weekly Income: 1954 Today $40 $30 $64 Ontario $67 The West $40 $51 Back of those figures, is the average belief in the Maritimes that $10 a v.eek more is essen. tial, than four years ago. In On- tario this increase is $17.00 a week, and in Quebec $19.00, and in the West $11.00.
