THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S, Oshawa, Ont. Page 4 Tuesday, July 22, 1958 No Influx Of Laborers For Jobs On Pipeline There have been some charges of dis- crimination against Canadian workers, particularly in the construction of the Northern Ontario section of the Trans- Canada natural gas pipeline. The com=- plaint is that most of the pipeline work= ers are Americans, who have come to this country to take jobs that should be- long to Canadians, Statistics released by Northern On- tario Pipe Line Crown Corporation show that American workers comprise less than one-seventh of the total labor force employed in the five "spreads" of the pipeline construction, A sixth cate- gory, river crossing construction, em- ploys the greatest percentage of Americans -- 17 of a total labor force of 51 -- 33 per cent, Percentage of Americans employed in the five spread runs from 9.8 to 22.9. The total labor force employed on the five spreads and river crossing con- struction is 1,525, of whom 218 are Americans, Fifty-three of the 218 Am- ericans have the status of landed im- migrants. The federal department of immigra- tion's statistsics bear out the conten tion that there has been no great influx of American laborers into Canada. During the first five months of this year there were 3,694 Americans ad- mitted to Canada as immigrants, but only 21 were classed as laborers. Under manufacturing, mechanical and con- struction occupations, 16 welders and flame cutters and 13 construction ma- chinery operators are listed among 269 immigrants, Owners, managers, officials and pro- fessional people made up the largest group of immigrants. There were 240 in the executive category and 397 in the professions. Remainder of the immigrants were classified into several smaller categories, including nine bushmen and lumber= men under "fishing trapping and logging occupations", Actually, the total number of workers admitted to Canada from the United States was only 1,498, The 2,205 de- pendents they brought accounted for the greater portion of the total immigration. The Dollars Of Tourists Close to one and one-half million au- tomobiles entered Ontario from the U.S. on travellers' vehicle permits dur= ing 1957, according to information col- lected by the Ontario Department of Travel and Publicity. These visitors were people who remained in the pro- vince for more than 48 hours. In addi- tion, four million cars came into On- tario and stayed for less than 48 hours, Altogether, the Department estimates, the visitors spent at least $250 million in the province. An analysis made by the National Association of Travel Organizations broke down the spending of the "tour- ist dollar" this way: food and refresh- ment establishments, 27 cents; trans- portation services, including gas and oil at service stations, 22 cents; lod- ging, 21 cents; retail purchases, 14 cents; theatre entertainment, etc, seven cents; tourist attractions, four includ- five cents; miscellaneous services, ing laundry, dry cleaning etc, cents, Those are the bare statistics. But the tourist dollar does more, The travel organizatiod estimates, for example, that for every day each tourist motel or hotel unit is occupied, the local power company gains at least 10 cents. A tourist bureau near a national park in the United States found that visitors to the area in a single year ate 520,000 dozen eggs, 2,909,000 pourids of meat, 1,557,000 pounds of potatoes and drank 2,523,000 quarts of milk. The amounts of butter, cheese and similar products consumed could not be estimated, So tourist consumption has a direct influence on retailers, whole=- salers and producers of foodstuffs. In=- deed, it is an influence that spreads throughout our economy, particularly in Ontario which draws the biggest share of tourist travel in Canada, Sneaky Little Parasites Is Mother Nature conspiring to make man obsolete? It isn't a rhetorical ques- tion, not after what some sneaky little parasites have been doing to tooth- carps. We'd better start at the beginning. The other day a Prof. A, Stolk, of the Historical Laboratory, Amsterdam, wrote an article for the British science magazine, Nature, It was called "Path- alogical Parthenogenesis in Vivaporous Toothcarps." Sound innocent? Don't be deceived. It's dynamite. The vivaparous toothcarp is a fish that gives birth to living young. Par- thenogenesis is the development of young from unfertilized eggs. Stolk was reporting on the strange behavior of three female toothcarps. (Maybe that should be teethcarp.) In each case the female was isolated immediately after birth and did not even get to see a male toothcarp, Yet within 18 months the females gave birth to 22,14 and 28 babies respectively -- all females. Stolk concluded that the births resulted from the fish becoming infected with a fish parasite. The tiny intruder provided the artificial stimulus, Parthenogenesis is nothing new. But Stolk says we have something different here; birth resulting from a natural ailment on the part of the mother, There you have it. To be sure, it's a long way from a toothcarp to man, May take eons to climb that evolutionary lad ladder. But the menace is there, Will the day come when all children will be girls, who will be able to have addi- tional children -- all girls? We think the UN should get after this, and stop wasting time on matters of minor ime portance such as the Middle East. In Mental Institutions In Canada and the United States, thousands of people are condemned for life to needless confinement in homes for the feeble-minded, according to an article in the July Reader's Digest. Crude testing procedures, even sim- ple blunders, have locked institution doors on many whose intelligence is normal or even above-normal, says Robert Wallace, in the article, "A Life= time Lost." Sooner or later, the hidden ability shows through; but this does not indi- cate that officials will encourage the patient's release. Often the opposite happens, The institutions are always desperate for money; when they dis- cover an inmate with special talents or The Daily Times-Gazette T. L.

He is a skilled typesetter, an avid and thoughtful reader. He can play eight musical instruments and score a composition for a 25-piece or- chestra. In an intelligence test given last year, he scored 120--at least 10 points above normal and 50 above the level acceptable to armed forces. Of course, after 59 years in an insti- tution, the question is no longer how intelligent he may be, but how well he could cope with an outside world he has never inhabited. He is naive and gentle; things like a dial telephone and resturant menus, are completely alien to him; His eyesight and hearing are bad; he has arthritis and diabetes. He cannot be expected to shift for himself, But. if no other solution presents it- self, the hospital will discharge Buck- ner as'a patient and hire him as a re- gular employee. He would like that, He reads the Bible, and is encouraged by the Beatitudes, where it is written: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."

W. Murphy, the Conservative MP from Sarnia, has repeatedly focussed Parlia- ment's attention upon the need to WARTIME PORTRAIT €0LD WAR LANDSCAPE (SwETCHRED AT FOUN MiSHQURI ) - 2, Zig MORE CHURCHILLIAN PICTURES MAC'S MEANDERINGS Britain's Income Taxes Are High By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London Correspondent to The Times-Gazette LONDON -- In one of our earl- {er articles, in which we tried to answer some questions which had been sent to us by a Bowmanville readers of The Times-Gazette, we indicated that we would give some information about the in- come taxes which have to be paid by the people over here. They are, of course, much higher than they are in Canada, but one has to work out the exact figures to make the comparisons between what the average working man has to pay here and in Canada. The first comparison to be made is that of basic exemption. In Canada, a married man with no other dependents is allowed a basic exemption of $1000. Here, the basic exempticn for the same type of taxpayer would be £240, which works out, at the present rate of exchange, at $670. NOT SAME EXEMPTIONS Over here, there are no exemp- tions allowed at all for medical or hospital expenses, no credits allowed for charitable contribu- tions. On 'the other hand, deduc- tions are made for a certain per- centage of life insurance prem- jums and in certain vocations, there is an allowance for ex- penses. For instance, 1 was al- lowed a deduction of £30 in my taxable income because of being a journalist. A home-owner, liv- ing in his own home, is allowed a deduction for any interest paid on a mortgage. That is about all. A SPECIFIC CASE Now to take a specific case, that of a married man earning $2000 a year or its equivalent. in Canada, he would pay no in- come tax. Over here, the amount of tax would depend on his de- PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM A person who seeks security in this world has as much chance of finding it as a blind man of find- ing In a dark room a black hat that isn't there Some people are so old-fash- foned they believe a somewhat lower standard of living that people could afford would be pre- ferable to a high one they can't afford Old jokes are best, and no spe clalty act is funnier than the an- cient and oft-repeated Imitation by a man of a woman struggling into a tight girdle. If you would give a fool advice, You might as well write it on ice. "The art of conversation fis dead," says a sociologist. Yes, and the cause is well-knodn--it was talked to death. The only reason a barrel of monkeys 1s funnier than a barrel of people is that a barrel will hold more monkeys than people, An American woman is suing for divorce hecause her hushand often wakes her up in the middie of the night and tells her, "You would make*a beautiful corpse" Flattery doesn't always work with women CHIMPS GO ON BENDER OCEAN PARK, Calif, (AP) Two chimpanzees went on a $2,300 drunk. Then they disap peared, The chimps, Bob Roy and Tonga, escaped Sunday and downed a gallon of perfume, which selis at §18 an ounce. But their owner, an amusement park operator, wasn't too about them. "They're around somewhere sleeping It off," he worried ductions other than the basic ex- emption. Let us suppose, how- ever, that he has £60 of addition- al deductions, -giving him a total exemption of £300. A $2000 in- come in his case would be equal to almost exactly £700, That would leave him with a taxable income of £400. The schedule of tax which he would pay would be as follows: On the first £60 at two shillings and threepence on the pound, -- £6.15.0. On the next £150 at four shil- lings and ninepence on the pound -- £35.12.6. On the next £150 at six shil- lings and ninepence on the pound, £50.12.6. On the remaining £40, at the rate of eight shillings and three- pence on the pound, -- £16.12.0. So the total income tax he would pay works out, on an in- come of the equivalent of $2000, to £109.12.0 -- or approximately $294 a year, In the case of a married man, with no children, with an income of the eqivalent or $3000, or £1075, the tax would amount to £260.5.9, or approximately $702 a year. A Canadian in the same bracket, would pay about $110. IN HIGHER BRACKETS These are the rates on wages and salaries of people in average circumstances. When it comes to individuals in the higher in- come brackets, with incomes der- ived from investments, and other "unearned income', the rates go much higher, and as high as 80 per cent of the total income from such sources. It is impossible to quote figures on these taxes on unearned income and income from various kinds of invest. ments, because it would take a Philadelphia lawyer to work them all out, so varied and complex are the schedules. However, we have tried to ans- wer the question put to us by our Bowmanville reader, with the as- sistance of an official of the in- come tax department. The fig- ures we have given well, we be- lieve, be sufficient to indicate the heavy burden of income taxes which has to be borne by the working people of the United Kingdom as compared with their Canadian counterparts. BYGONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO The Local Ukrainian Flying Club sponsored a series of good- will flights, when local citizens were given the opportunity of flights at reasonable rates. The City Industrial "All-Star" baseball team won a benefit game from the Toronto *"Kiks" with a score of 5 to 4 in 10 in- nings at the Motor City Stadium. Contractors completed the work on Port Perry's $2000 new street widening and lighting project. The Annis family held a reunion at the Cream of Barley in Bowmanville, with 125 present. C. E. McTavish announced that General Motors would sponsor an Oshawa showing of 'Previews of Progress*'. Russell D. Humphreys was ap- pointed alderman to finish the term of Dr. G. L. Bird, who re- signed from city council due to ill health. The carrier boys of the Oshawa Daily Times enjoyed a picnic at Lynbrook Park. Leonard Corn was appointed chairman of the Art Exhibition for Oshawa"s Community Day event. He reported many pic- tures to be shown. 4 Family Members Killed In Crash SUSSEX, N.B. (CP)--Five per- cons, including four members of 2 Montreal doctor's family, were killed in a head-on collision near here Sunday. Four others were injured Dr Wiiliam St. Clair Bauld, his wife, Marian, and his sons, Ger ald, 14, and William, 4, died in the wreckage of their car. Twe other Bauld children, Heather, 8, and Brian, 10, were critically in- Jured. The Bauld family lived in the Montreal suburb of Mount Royal and were believed to be en route to Nova Scotia on a vacation. In the second car were three patients from Jordan Memorial Sanatorium near Petitcodiac, N.B. One of them, Mary Bea- trice Foster, 30, of Nauwigewauk, N.B., died in hospital. Injured were Joseph Valengine Richard, driver of the car, and Frank Robotka, a Hungarian im- migrant. FOR BETTER HEALTH Don't Be a Show-0ff When in Swimming Herman N. BUNDESEN, M.D. SHOWING off in the water is one not-so-good way to lose your life. Swimming is fine relaxation, ft teaches coordination, it's healthful exercise. 1 strongly rec- ommend it. CAN'T TAKE CHANCES But no one can swim well enough to take chances, Every year some 6,000 persons drown, Drownings are second only to traffic accidents as a cause of accidental deaths in the 5 to 44 age group. Most of these drown- ings could be prevented simply by using a little common sense. Now 1 know most of you~have heard these warnings before, but I don't think I can emphosize waler precaution enough, So here they are again. Read them; they muy save a life this summer, Dom't show off or tease other persons while in the water. Such horseplay is apt to end in tragedy. LEARN EARLY Make sure that your children learn to swim at the earliest possible age. Urge them to join swimming classes conducted by the Red Cross, the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, YMCA and YWCA or public schools Walt at least on hour--and I mean am hour--afler eating before going into the water. Swim only In safe places and obey the lifeguard. Don't dive until you are sure the water is deep enough and free of danger- ous rocks. STAY NEAR ANOTHER Don't overestimate your skill or strength. Always try to have another swimmer nearby. Stay out of the water during storms. One more word of caution: Should your boat upset, your best bet probably is to stay with it. Most rowboats and outboards will stay afloat even when cap- sized. Your chances of rescue are generally better if you cling to the craft rather than attempt fo swim ashore QUESTION AND ANSWER .

We are in danger establishment of annual "science fairs" to be held in as many ities as possible across Canada. At these parades of jun- for science, the school - children entrants will exhibit their own scientific creations. devised and constructed by themselves. And in these contests, the children and teen-agers will compete for high honor, future technical train- ing, vacation jobs and ultimately life jobs, but small immediate prizes. The new emphasis is on tech- d the of instead of hewers of wood and drawers of water for American plants, mere miners of uranium which will then 'be ex- ported raw, to be processed by highly paid skilled workers, and finally sold back to us by those other nations which have ac- quired the know-how to process our Canadian uranium. After years of do-nil, there now is an urgent need for the govern- ment to set up an exploratory and brea) i co-ordinating committee to study during the last war. It would be appropriate to revive this com- mittee now, to work through the new phase of the cold war. Thus, the eggs laid on the gov- ernment doorstep many years ago by Sarnia"s J. W. Murphy have grown, through years of neglect, into full-grown geese now over- due for attention.

But day af- ter day we see new examples of the international advantages and national benefits which scientific progress can confer. WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO? Are there other steps, besides encouraging technical training, which we can take to save our- selves from falling further behind Russia? One obvious step which we should be taking in Canada is to press ahead with research into the various possible forms of nu- clear fuel. We are, and should long remain, one of the world's leading producers of uranium, the raw material of atomic fuels. But it is the Americans and the Rus- sians and especially the British who are leading experiments and research into the various methods of enriching uranium and ready- ing it for use in what will one day be the universal and highly valued "litle black boxes," each containing enough power to pro- pel a giant liner back and forth across the ocean for three years without refuelling. Mention of the nautical use of nuclear energy brings to mind the immense value of such power to us, with our proposed develop ment of the northern and Arctic regions. Plentful fuel will be the one essential key which could un- lock our northern treasure chest, foreseen in Prime Minister Dief- enbaker's "vision." But can we ship huge quantities of any modern bulk fuel to the Arctic? Or harness waterfalls there which are frozen more than half the year? No, but we could airlift a plentiful supply of "little black boxes' to power icebreak- ers and freighters and nuclear electric power stations and heat- ing plants and smelters even within sight of the North Pole. SEEKS A-POWER Three government departments now are interested in the possi- bilities of using nuclear power in ships, for transportation or ice- breaking work. These are the de- partments of national defence, northern affairs and transport. La EE -- GO WEST!
