The Oshawa Ties Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 4 Monday, December 1, 1958 System Of Distribution Requires Men In Middle Evidence before the price spreads in- quiry shows that many people still be- lieve that consumers could get cheap food and farmers high prices for their product if only the horrible faceless wereature known as the middleman tould be eliminated, They do not seem to have given any thought to the prob- lem of getting the product from the farm to the table, or to the way the housewife prefers to buy the product. Between. the man who grows potatoes In Prince Edward Island or onions in «Ontario and the women in Calgary or Montreal who buy the potatoes and onions (properly packaged) there must be some sort of distribution system. The job of distributior" is a complex ard highly skilled one, employing many people, all of whom expect to get paid for their work, These are the mid- dlemen, and they're necessary under any economic system, _There's a notion that middlemen ex- ist only under capitalism. But Russia too is having its troubles with "price spreads." Orders recently went from the Kremlin to 35 ~ollective farms produc~ ing vegetables in the Moscow area to increase production and costs, Re- tail price of potatoes in scow is 14 cents a pound ---- pretty stiff for the av~ erage Muscovite -- and the Kremlin wants it cut to three cents. But in be- tween the collective farm and the Mus- covite consumer is the huge state ma- chinery for the distribution of potatoes and other foodstuffs, If the consumers don't pay or that machinery directly through retail prices, they must pay for it through their taxes -- but it must be paid for, one way or another, This is a recurring problem in Russia, and it is doubtful i" the Kremlin will be any more successful in reducing the gap in potato prices than it was in sim- ilar previous attempts with other com- modities. The middleman can't be re- moved and he must be paid. Debt Danger Stressed Many of the leading economists in the United States are writing now about the dangers of heavy public and private debt. They believe the danger point has been reached and that if that situation is snot heeded and that nation continues on iits present course disaster is likely to 'overtake it. : } "Such prominent men as the chairman 'of the Finance Committee of the Unit- 'sl States Steel Corporation have been 'making speeches under such headings 'as "Toward a Point of Nc Return." | "Of course these observations apply to 'the American situation and to date do not apply with the same force to a ra- pidly-developing country like Canada. 'However it would be wise policy in this eountry to heed the present tendencies to increase public and private debt be- 'yond a safety point, Referring to the United States situa- tion here are some editorial remarks in tone of the foremost financial journals iin that country: ; "Another handicap we have laid upon ourselves is found in the habit we have formed of going head over heels jinto debt, The leading offender in this 'Instance is, of course, the Federal Gov- ternment, There are ' plenty of others, 'however. State and local governments 'have increased their indebtedness enor- 'mously in recent years and there ap- 'pears to be no end in sight. Individuals, sometimes called consumers', are not far behind, and the Federal Govern- 'ment and all the politicians, or nearly all of them, have done about all they :opuld to encourage Tom, Dick and Har- ry to go heavily into debt. The mass a result movement from the larger cities Inte the suburbs has contributed to the trend, by encouraging home ownership and the possession of all sorts of mod- ern conveniences from automobiles to television sets. "Few stop to take account of the ex- tent to which people of this country now live on the cuff as the saying goes. At the end of 1941 mortgage debt on one to four family houses totalled about $18.4 billion, It did not rise much during the war, naturally, but in post- war years it has had a mushroom growth, It now standr at upwards of $112 billion, These figures suggest, if they do not measure, the burden of debt that small home owners have loaded upon themselves, much of it as of 'insurance', guarantees,' 'and other subsidies and encouragement by the Federal Gov-rnment. The post= war growth of installment consumer credit is similar. By the end of the war this type of indebtedness had declined to small proportions, relatively speak- ing. By August of this year American consumers owed well over $14.5 bil- lion on cars they were driving, Various other types of consumer goods for an- other $8 billion and more of debt, while so-called 'personal loans' had reached a similar figure, "These are but a few of the unneces- sary handicaps we have placed upon ourselves, and which must limit the de- gree in which we shall be able to re- alize the blessings that should be ours in the future. What candidate for office in the recent U.S. elections even gave evidence of being aware of this state of affairs? Wanted A Definition Bpeaking in Montreal recently Jus- tice Minister Fulton indicated that at ,the next session of Parliament some- 'thing might be done to cope with in- decent literature. Many persons may say it is abou' time, but the problem is far from simple. What seems salacious to some people is not at all salacious to others. If too puritan an outlook were applied, many acknowledged literary classics would be denied to Canada; yet some lurid publications could be done without. One thing does seem clear; book cen- sorship should be taken out of the hands of the customs department, The latter has had the unwelcome task of deciding on the spot which printed matter should or should not be admit- ted to Canada, and customs officers 'differ a great deal in their opinions. In the House of Commons during the last session Revenue Minister Nowlan made 'it clear he would like literary censor- 'ship taken out of customs and transfer- !reG. to the courts. He said rightly that 'his staff was better qualified to judge sthe tariffs on cabbages than tc pass «moral judgments on literature entering 'the country. Fhe Osharon Times 1. L. WILSON.

(Ottawa Journal) President Eisenhower tells his Wash- ington press conference that he will not press Chiang Kai-Shek to reduce the size of his army in Quemoy, "We are not going to coerce or try to coerce an ally..." An ally. How much of an ally is the man who has to have the powerful U.S. Tth Fleet "to protect him on an island beachhead, and who has drained the U.S. treasury of $1,000,000,000 over the past 10 years to keep him and his army alive?

Its best year in this not very glorious 23 years of attempt was in 1945, when its backbone, Saskatchewan, gave it almost a shut-out victory over all other parties, to boost the total CCF representation at Ottawa to 28 MPs. But the CCF plans to act like the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood in the next general election, probably in 1962, It will appear under the disguise of a new name, as yet undetermined; and it will have powerful new elect- oral fangs in the form of a sub- stantial campaign chest provided by members of labor unions. And with these changes operating as a fillip, it hopes to win at least twice as many federal constitu- encies as in its previous best year, This is the considered but matter-of-fact forecast given by the man who is making over the facade of the disappointing CCF, Mr. Stanley Knowles, for 17 years the CCF member returned by the constituency of Winnipeg North Centre. A MAN OF PARTS "Stan" Knowles became widely known as the most-often-heard- from member of Parliament. It was widely estimated that, with Knowles out of the chamber, the average session would be cut in length by ome-third. He was an accomplished master of the rules of Parliament; on an tricky point of order, on any abstruse discus- sion of precedent, Stan Knowles was always in there pitching--as he was on many lesser excuses too. With the possible exception of Kamloops' Davie Fulton, Stan Knowles did more homework than any other MP in the past two decades in learning the theory and practice of par- liamentary procedure. But as so often happens with a specialist in any field, Stan acquired the rather narrow - minded mentality which would have warped the spirit of Parliament in order to observe the niceties of the rules. Nevertheless, he did exhibit an immense power of mental con- centration and of intellectual cap- acity, a power which is now being directed towards creating what he terms "a new political party for Canada." What manner of man {is this, shotgun wedding of the politically- minded Co - operative Common- wealth Federation and the eco- nomically-angled Canadian Labor Congress. Fifty years ago, he was born in Los Angeles, Calif.; hard work and a chronic ailment have haggarded his appearance pre- maturely to destroy the film-star warmth associated with his birth- piace. He is married and has two children; but his sense of duty drives him to the point where he seems wedded not to woman but to politics, He is a member of that rugged International Typo- graphical Union since way back, 80 is no stranger in union circles, where he has been vice-president of the CLC since his electoral defeat last March left him un- employed. He is a minister of the United Church, and recently in that role officiated at the mar- riage of the divorced son of his party's founder, THE LIBERALS' FUTURE And now he is trying to make over the CCF to keep pace fith Canada's drift from farm to fac- tory. Because so many Canadians are leaving the farm, he seeks to woo votes not at the grass roots but on the concrete side- walks, Within the new CCF-CLC party, he hopes to retain the farmers, who have given the CCF nearly half its parliamentary strength since 1935, and also cor- ral the antipathetic group of or- ganized labor, as well as profes. sional people and all "liberally- minded Canadians." Iz short, he hopes that many Liberals, who used to rib the CCF as being 'Liberals in a hurry," are now ready to be in a hurry themselves; to abandon their own ship which he sees as sinking fast, and to join the 'new' party, which is so far new in nothing but its proposal to raise campaign funds by some form of union check-off. The Liberals, on the other hand, are kidding the CLC bos- ses for trying to join "the wrong party. The big rub seems to likely to be in that check-off.

SENILE PSYCHOSES Use of Nicozol with Reserpine provides a highly effective treat- ment for senile psychoses, ac- cording to clinical and pharma- cological studies. Many patients who would require {institutional care can be managed at home with this new therapy. The therapy relieves agitation, confusion, agressiveness and from di s who signed up--often involuntarily-- on grounds of employment, not politics. And the check - off, whether voluntary or not, will place a severe strain on the basic freedom of "the right to work" and the constitutional who is acting as gunman at the freedom of "the secret ballot." FOR BETTER HEALTH Three New Medicines Help Varied Ailments HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD A new antibiotic which kills germs resistant to older "won- der drugs", a tablet for use in controlling swelling and .inflama- tion and a drug for treating senile psychoses are the developments I want to discuss today in our monthly review of medicine. TREATS INFECTION The antibiotic is kanamycin, or Kantrex as it is called commer- cially. It has been found effec- tive in treating a long list of in- fections, including certain types of pneumonia, kidney and bladder infections, infections of the blood stream, the heart, bones and soft tissues. ' Investigators report. that many persons treated success- fully with the new drug had been suffering from severe infections which older antibiotics failed to cure. HALTED EPIDEMIC Kanamycin first came to public attention late last March, when it was used in an emergency to halt an epidemic of infant infections in a Houston, Texas, hospital. The drug has been undergoing tests by 50 clinical investigators for many months. The drug tablet for use in con- trolling swelling and inflamma- tion and reducing pain and speed- ing the healing process is Buccal Varidase. CONTROLS SWELLING It is reported to be effective in treating swelling associated with bruises, bronchitis, abcess- es, phlebitis, acne and other in- flammatery conditions. The tablet is not swallowed but allowed to dissolve in the pa- patient's mouth while held against the cheek (the buccal pouch). This permits the drug to be absorbed into the body through the mucous membrane. While the drug has been on the market for several years in Injection form, this is the first rest At the same time, it improves memory, behaviour, so- ciability and even appearance and tidiness. QUESTION AND ANSWER A. E. R.: I crave chocolates and eat six a day. Are they harm- ful to my system? I.do not have diabetes. Answer: Chocolates are a source of energy and calories. In moderation, they are a con- centrated food. In excess, they may lead to overweight, with all its harmful consequences. ' It is well to get most of your Jood calories from the standard 8S. Berlin Mayor Gets Attention In New Crisis news spotlight on West Berlin's dg mayor, 44-year-old Wi time adays is battling to save West Berlin from the Communists, is in the same esteem by his fellow citizens as was the late Ernst Reyter, mayor during the 1048-49 airlift, When Brandt was elected to of- fice Oct, 3, 1957, to succeed Otto Suhr, he told Berliners: "I will try to do my best, every day and every hour, for the freedom of our city."

Mr. Frost is on the spot re- by bearing the heavy bur- garding them den of the current crisis with a composure that is winning him their even greater respect. The crisis caught the hand- some politician in the middle of a municipal election campaign. On Dec. 7, Berliners will decide between him and his powerful Christian Democratic opponent, Ernst Lemmer, Brandt, a Socialist like his two post - war predecessors, is re- garded politically as a right- winger in the party. Besides hold- ing the office of mayor, he also is chairman of Berlin's Socialist party. Observers here believe the present crisis has helped him considerably in the election cam- paign. Constant, savage attacks and caricatures in the East Ger- man press only have increased his popularity. The present city council num- bers 64 Socialists out of a total membership of 127, CHANGED NAME Willy Brandt is not his original name, Born Herbert Frahm in Luebeck (now in East Germany) on Dec. 18, 1913, he changed it ed legally after the Second World War. Brandt's anti - Nazi career started early. At 17, he appeared in court on a charge of wound- ing some Nazi storm troopers. The case was dismissed for lack of proof. In 1933, at the age of 20, he fled to Norway after fur- ther clashes with Hitler support- e rs. He slipped back to Berlin three years later as a Norwegian stu- dent, Besides studying, he again engaged in anti-Nazi activities. At the outbreak of the war, he went to Norway. During the German invasion, he engaged in humanitarian work and was briefly captured -- but not identified -- by the Gestapo. He was forced to flee to Sweden, where he worked as a newspaper man. For his relief work in Norway, he was made a Norwegian citi- zen after the war. In 1946 he re- turned to Berlin as a press at- tache for the Norwegian govern- ment. He married a Norwegian irl. ' Brandt eventually reverted to German nationality and took up work with Berlin's Socialist party again. If he appoints new men from ares there will be a protest, And if he makes new appoint- ments without giving Windsor and North-Western Ontario represen- tation there will be just as loud a protest, And at the same time he can't bring the men themselves back, Jot i after an election, at east, ORIGINAL INTENTION: There is every reason to be- Heve that when the ac- ; ht il i g 13 1H ~ it cr j ; 5 w | FY H 1 i i g i I i i 1H i hi = 3 | gf i it 5s Ee by is 8x | WORKS REORGANIZES: Hon.
