TE EE EE ET as a She sharon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. boge 4 Thursday, February 26, 1959 Industrial Development A Local Responsibility The help that the federal department of trade and commerce can give persons and agencies engaged in industrial de- velopment work was succinctly outlined at last week's meeting of the Lake On- tario Development Association by James A. Roberts, associate deputy minister. He had a sound warning, however: "While we are always prepared to as- sist communities, wherever possible, the basic responsibility for the industrial development of a municipality lies with- in itself." Mr. Roberts pointed out that the community must make a careful assess- ment of its assets, see that its house keeping is in order, and prepare a short factual presentation of information that will be available to firms of individuals interested in establishing new indus- tries. We were happy to hear him fol- low up with this statement: "In making an assessment of your community, you should give very careful study to the situation with respect to industry that is already within your municipal limits, Your economic existence may depend upon the established firms. Therefore, the expansion of this local industry could mean greater employment than the bringing in of a new organization." Industrial Commissioner Tom Mc- Laughlin has been emphasizing this point in Oshawa, but he seems to be having difficulty convincing a few crit- fes who cannot seem to grasp the idea that it means as much to the city if a domestic industry can be helped to ex- pand as if a new plant 'of equivalent capacity were established. Mr. Roberts went on to give his views on what an. industry expects from a community. A favorable industrial climate must be created, and this should include fair treatment from public servants and elected officials in such matters as as- sessment, taxation, zoning, building bylaws, police and fire protection and power and water supplies, Industry today, it was pointed out, is not concerned necessarily in going into a community which has the lowest tax- es. The true measure of tax cost is the measure of municipal service, So indus- try is more concerned now with wheth- er the tax administration is sound and whether, for every dollar paid, it is getting value, The physical appearance of a come munity is of vital importance to indus try. This is particularly so if the con- templated plant is sizeable and expen- sive. The approaches to a community, if attractive, indicate to Industry that planning and zoning are understood by the authorities, This includes the char- acteristics of the residential areas in whihe the plant workers live. Industry is conscious of the value of a happy worker; if he takes pride in his home, the worker wi'l naturally have pride in his community and the company for which he works, Industry also looks for adequate hos- pital, educational, recreational and cul- tural facilities. The ability of personnel to attend night courses, the ability to round out engineering training in a local school are important advantages. Good road and rail connections are im=- portant, and the importance of an air- port has grown in recent years, Labor supply, of course, is always a vital factor. Adequate zoning means that indus try's investment will be protected. What does an industry mean'to a community? A hundred additional manufacturing workers means approxi mately 427 more people, 131 more households, 66 more school children, 117 more workers employed in services etc., three more retail establishments and just under $1 million in increased retail sales, U.S. Consumer Buying What happens to the U.S. economy has considerable influence on the Cana- dian economy -- and the good news is that the U.S. consumer is buying again, plugging the recession holes with dol- lars, Retail merchants in the U.S, expect consumer purchases to set new records during 1959, according to a survey by Fortune magazine, Dealers in five lines 'were queried: cars, clothing, home goods, department stores, and building materials and hardware, The pickup in sales of goods were found to have been sharpest in cars, but other lines are doing well also, Ex- penditures on clothing have risen about $1 billion from their 1958 lows, or by 4 per cent, and similar rise lies ahead, according to retailers. Sales of women's wear, chiefly sportswear, accessories and furs, have teen improving most, and some imprcvement in men's suits is reported. Sales of home goods are up by six per cent from recession lows. With in- ventories down and sales up, produc- tion of home goods has risen 35 per cent above the 1958 bottom. Sales of appli- ances, chiefly dishwashers, refrigerators and laundry equipment, have increased, as have furniture sales. All in all, home goods stores expect to raise sales ano- ther billion by the year end and, as they benefit from the increase in home building as well in income, Department store executives are looming for a four per cent increase during 1959, Drugstore sales keep ris- ing, as do sales in sporting goods. To- bacco, gas and oil sales have resumed setting new records. Fortune reports that dealer optimism is backed up by facts. It is probable that disposable income will rise by about $16 billion th's year, and consumer spending will go up by.an almost equal amount, Confusion Of Weights Among the barriers to trade general- ly the world over, and also operating to hinder closer understanding among peoples as they visit in countries other than their own, are the monetary sys- tems and the different methods follow- ed in such things as weights and meas- ures. Probably not a great deal can be done about the former, human nature being what it is, but some progress is being made in respect to the latter. The Government of India, for exam : ple, has long recognized the inconyen- fence and expense occasioned by the lack of uniformity. Now this is to be changed and the authorities there are introducing, step by step, standard weights and measures for the whole country, based on the French metric system and authorized by the Standards of Weights and Measures Act of three years ago.

Nelson, who is assistant commercial secretary for Cauada at New Delhi, and who has contributed an article on the subject to the latest issue of Foreign Trade, official publication of the De- partment of Trade and Commerce at Ottawa. Mr. Nelson points out that the proposed changes will be spread over the next ten to fifteen years. All engineering designs and plans will be based on the metric system, giving foot-pound equivalents only where nec- essary. Other Canadian exports to In- dia will be handled in the same way as exports to other countries using the metric system. As changes are intro- duced, due notice will be given by Ca- nadian government officials to firms and trades in Canada which will be af- fected. Some day, maybe, there will be a uniformity in the matter which will embrace the whole wide world.

I have repeated this assertion in two or three recent columns, and have presented facts which fully substantiate my criticism that the state - owned broadcast- ing system displays improper bias. In reply, CBC officials have written to several newspapers in which my column is published, to allege that "Demonstrably, this is inaccurate." Let us see who is inaccurate. My revelation of the CBC's ap- parently deliberate attempt to News once. Does this ratio of 51 to two represent balance? CBC officials in their letters also objected to my inference that they are "second . rating' their audience by not hiring the top press gallery reporters. "When did you last see or hear Pres- ident Jimmy McCook, or imme- diate past presidents Vie Mackie or Harvey Hickey on the CBC?" I asked. "James McCook aplieated on both TV and radio, while Harvey Hickey appeared in various CBC radio programs last year," huf- fed the CBC. But the inaccuracy of the CBC's attempts to whitewash its short. comings is clearly shown in its own answers to Senator Thorvald- Dr. L. E. Hubbell was re-elect ed president and Frank V. Evans wag elected vice-president of the Kinsmen Club. Robert Fraser, prominent busi- nessman and former president of the Robert Fraser Ltd. Bakers with branches in Oshawa and Peterborough, resigned from the business and G. L. Kirkwood of Peterborough was the new man. ager, J. P. Sam, who had been a police interpreter in Toronto for 25 years, settled in Oshawa to manage the Capitol restaurant. The campaign to raise funds for the striking British miners was continuing. Local citizens had already donated $700. The Oshawa Citizens' Band under the direction of Bandmas- ter R. Fountain and accom- son. Those answers reveal that shape public opinion has d widespread interest, which has even surged into our Parliament, where many questions have been asked on this topic by Senator G. 8S. Thorvaldson, by that great tiger-tail-tugger J. W. Murphy, Sarnia's Conservative MP, and by others. CIRCLE SHOWN AS SMALL The information given by the CBC in reply to Senator Thorvald- son vividly shows how extremely small is the closed circle of CBC regulars within the press gallery, exactly as I have alleged. 1 have carefully analysed the lengthy answers. They reveal that 66 per cent of press gallery mem- bers did not appear on CBC at all last year. But a tiny 16 per cent of members gave no less than 78 per cent of all comment coming from the gallery. Glaring evidence of the small- ness of the closed circle is the fact that, on Press Conference, 54 per cent of the participation was entrusted to a mere four mem- bers of the press gallery. These figures, supplied by the CBC itself, amply prove my point that the CBC uses predominantly "a small closed circle". Turning to my other criticism-- that the CBC deliberately pre- sents only one side of most impor- tant public questions--let us com- pare the extent to which the CBC hires journalists from the two English - language newspapers in Ottawa, which give perhaps the most intimate attention to our parliamentary affairs. Last year the CBC hired five writers from the Liberal Citizen to talk 51 times; but it only hired two writers from the Conserva- tive Journal, each to speak only ther Mackie nor Hickey ap- peared at all on CBC last year, while McCook made only one ap- pearance--on TV, It would be obvious even to a simpleton that Senator Thorvald- son's questions were seeking a comprehensive record of the use made by the CBC of press gallery and other commentators during the past year. Yet the answers supplied by the CBC did not con- form to known facts. It appears that the CBC split hairs, to sub- mit a wilfully incomplete reply to the senator--an act which, com- ing from a group of public serv- ants, almost constitutes contempt oi Parliament. Typically misleading was the further comment in those CBC letters, alleging that the CBC's "wide circle of press gallery com- mentators included Charles Lynch Gene Griffin." A Griffin at once pointed out to me that he has only been on the CBC twice in 13 years, whereas Lynch had appeared on three separate programs all on the previous day. That reminded me of the fa- mous recipe for Belgian game ple, which is said to contain the costly delicacy, rabbit, and cheap horsemeat in equal proportions-- one rabbit to one horse. The CBC has got itself into em- barrassing difficulties trying to explain away what Liberal MP Hubert Badanai from Fort Wil- liam has described to me as "an attempt to mould political thought through the medium of TV*. But my revelations have already be- gun to bear abundant and ripe fruit, for a CBC producer recently confided to one of that "small closed circle" that "We have to spread it around now". FOR BETTER HEALTH Useful Tips for Those Weight Gain Desiring HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, While many persons want to lose excess weight, there are many others who are under- weight and want to gain a few pounds. If you are one of those who want to put on weight, here are a few tips that will help you to do it, First, you must eat more at each meal. Take extra bread and butter and ask for seconds of everything. While most of us would find this a pleasure and no problem at all, it might not be a simple matter for persons who are con- siderably underweight. STOMACH CAPACITY Many of these persons, you see, appear to have a relatively small stomach capacity. And eating extra large portions, or two por- tions instead of one, might be a bit difficult at first. If this is the case, I think you will find that it is easier to add foods with high caloric content than it is to eat large portions that contain large cream (not milk) on your cereals and in your coffee. You might add cream to the milk you drink, too. Use butter and fat generously in cooking and when making salad dressings. Add extra eggs in puddings and salad dressings. You might even put them into some of your drinks, Here is a list of some high calorie foods. Check with your doctor and if he says i is all right for you to eat them in quantity, then they probably will help you gain weight: Cake, especially with icing, candy, cookies, chocolate, coco- nut, cream, sugar, puddings, beverages. Also, butter, gravy, fatty meats, fried foods, jam, jelly, honey, marmalade, olives, nuts and avocados. BETWEEN-MEAL SNACKS Naturally, you won't eat all of these foods with your regular meals. So I recommend between- meal snacks, providing they don't interfere with your regular meals. You ean ost something before panied by Mrs, G.

It is no more pleasing or edify- ing for the layman to witness the perpetual struggle between the ed often unwilling student and the determined teacher, than for him to watch the surgeon perform his painful and urgent tasks, with, > it noted, the aid of anaesthe cs. Perhaps #t is the case of the teacher's work that renders him such an easy target of uninformed criticism. For in- stance, it requires litle expert knowledge to realize that such matters as the adequate prepara- tion of lessons, legible writing on the blackboard and efiective class control are prime essentials of the teacher's craft. It demands little but common-sense to appre. ciate that the efficient teacher does not deliver his lessons from the semi - recumbent position, or recite them dully from a text book. These elementary points excepted, it is doubtfu) whether e members of the lay public are justified in criticizing the teacher's work. . Should it be urged that both parents and the public at large are at once interested and con- cerned in the teacher's results, then an impartial investigation of the causes of failure would fre- quently lead away from the siderably retarded Boys and girls are somewhat they wish to set the world to rights, while sometimes they tend to surrender to cynicism and self- pity.
