de tL a li (hi dhe Oshawa Somes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Friday, May 6, 1960 Movement In Horseshoe Calls For Thought Now The Ontario Department of Highways forecasts heavier municipal spending on road systems. The municipalities are wondering where the money will come from. In Metropolitan Toronto the great subway hassle goes on and on and on. And all the time, the area from Bowmanville to the Niagara Peninsula draws closer and closer to the day when it will be, in effect, one great sprawling city. How are people to move in that city? 'The problems that now beset Toronto will be greatly magnified. The Metro planners have done nothing to inspire confidence in the belief that they can handle their present problems, let alone the others that will grow from the con- tinued urban spread. It painfully apparent that the provincial department of planning must start jus- tifying its title and provide the initiative for orderly regional planning of the entire Golden Horseshoe -- if the gold is not to turn to dross. Transportation is and will be one of the great problems. Big cities in the United States have already proved that express highways are not the solution to mass movement inside a large, built- up area. They are helpful to a point, but their use is limited by their high cost (including the taxable land they remove from other uses) and low capa- city when compared with other trans- port facilities, Chicago has already spent $1100 mil- lion on an expressway system it will take $400 million more to complete is . becoming , and the roads now projected. The Chicago Tribune comments: "As each new multi- million dollar highway is opened, it proves to be inadequate. How many more billions will have to be spent to meet Chicago's needs?" Los Angeles plumped for an express- way program, and is stuck with it. It has no rail transit system. Each mile of freeway in the city consumers 24 acres; an interchange use 80 acres; by 1980 Los Angeles expects to devote 34 square miles to 900 miles of freeways. The highway commissioner of New Jersey has recommended a plan to sub- sidize railroad commuter service to New York, because if all rail service were discontinued "state highway programs and budgets would of necessity be in- creased by many millions of dollars." This area has rail service, A double- track commuter line can carry five times as many people per hour as a four- lane super-highway. Subways offer an answer, but they are expensive to build -- as Toronto is finding out -- although once built that can move large numbers of passengers efficiently. French engineers, sponsored by 18 big French companies, have designed and built a form of monorail, having concluded that since underground and ground-level transport is so costly, the answer to urban congestion is "towards the sky". The answer for the Horseshoe may be concentration on two or three methods of transport. But it must be thought about now, at a time when -- mistakes can be avoided. Protection For Trout Trout fishermen these days are find- ing more of their favorite lakes pro- ducing fewer trout and more panfish and perch. After a while, the trout in these lakes will virtually disappear and the waters will be filled with the rable species. In Ontario, it is illegal to use live alewives, carp, dogfish, gar-pike, gold- fish, perch, rock bass, sunfish or smelt as bait. Lampreys or their larvae may not be used anywhere, although live alewives or perch may be used in the Great Lakes. The regulations ¢ state that "live minnows or bait-fish must never be liberated except in waters from which they were taken." coarse fish, particularly less desi 50 The regulations are being broken by fishermen who are either ant, careless or deliberately negligent. Several northern lakes have had to be poisoned to rid them of the undesirable an expensive undertaking and one that removes the lakes from for or more seasons. More stringent lations may be necessary to protect the waters that are still free from perch, carp and similar species. It must be possible to enforce the regulations. This cannot be done simply by multiplying the numbers of game ignor species, use two regu- wardens and similar enforcement offi- cials; it cannot even be done with the aid of members of fish and game asso- ciations -- there are too many lakes and streams. But it can be done if the regulations are easily understood and lend themselves to spot checking. One suggestion would be to forbid the use of fish as natural bait north of a set line -- possible the French River- Lake Nipissing division across the narrow middle of the province. Insects, worms and the like could be used as live bait, but not any kind of fish, Checking fishermen on this should be easy -- a bait bucket north of the line would be a highly suspicious object. Southern waters have become so in- fested with panfish and coarse fish that they are beyond redemption. Indeed, there may be some virtue in having the species in waters that are close to highly populated areas and are subjected. to intense fishing pressure. Perch, sunfish and the like are ready biters and afford children many angling thrills. It would be even better if adults could be persu- aded that many of these fish make excellent eating -- the sizeable $unfish of Rice Lake, for example, can provide many a tasty meal, and spring perch would be delicacy if they were not so common, Treaty On Sea Limits The United Nations Conference on Law of the Sea has failed to reach an agreement on the setting of a territorial 1 limit, and this leaves the | AW of ter- ritorial waters or the marginal sea in a chaotic state, Most nations still observe the traditional three-mile lim many do not like it; the Sovi and some other countries have ough t Union pro- he Oshawa Times T.

Canada and the United States pro- posed a six-mile rule, with fishing rights out to 12 miles which would become absolute after 10 years. This was the proposal that got the most support, 54 votes to 28, but it was still just short of the majority needed in the 80-member gathering; a switch of one negative vote or a gain of three affirmative votes would have provided the two-thirds majority required in UN affairs, The Soviet 12-mile proposal was rejected by 38 votes to 28. The three-mile rule was based on the range of ancient muzzle-loading cannon. It was the area over which shore bat- could exercise control. It has nothing to favor it now except tradition. At the same time, it would be clearly impossible to set a new limit at the range of control from land---guns can fire much greater distances than three miles, rockets can travel hundreds of miles and aircraft can patrol thousands. The Canadian proposal offers a reason- able compromise, teries There is no reason why the nations that supported the Canadian-U.S. pro- posal should not sign their own treaty and put it into practice. OTTAWA REPORT Canadian Outlook In Economy Black By PATRICK NICHOLSON All the nations in the Atlantie Community are now thoroughly aware that our old competitive and wasteful economic systems are suicidal in the modern Cold War and struggle for survival. No nation is more acutely aware than Canada that we cannot con- tinue - to drift--downwards. We are losing our foreign markets, foreign manufacturers are pric- ing our factories out of our own market, foreign investment capi- tal is being attracted by prefer- able opportunities in other coun- tries, our unemployment is ris- ing even during the early Spring and is probably at the highest rate in the Western world, The outlook for Canada is so dangerous that we must take de- cisive action to halt our drift. Our problems appear to stem from two causes, First, our plants have beef largely left be- hind by automation. In equip. ment and in thinking, they were originally geared mostly to man- ufacturing for the small market of Canadian consumers. Their unit manufacturing cost is ac- cordingly high; they cannot com- pete with mass-production plants geared to huge markets such as that in the U.S.A. or the budding free - trade blocs in western Europe. Our plants must be up- dated to produce for a huge mar- ket, not just for 17,000,000 Cana- dians; but first, our government must open the access doors through which our manufacturers can get into a mass market. Both the previous Liberal gov- ernment and our present Con- servative government ave al- ways suffered disastrously from a complete inability to under- stand this urgent need. LABOR TOO GREEDY The second urgent need we have is to keep our costs down through realistic scales of wages. Our members of Parliament are paid less than half their U.S. counterparts in Washington; our doctors and lawyers, our actors, our writers, our stockbrokers, our clergymen and most other classes work here for much less than their counterparts can earn in the U.S. gh, | London Novel 4 The average worker in Canada produces in one year goods worth 29 per cent less than the aver- age U.S. worker's output of $6, 146, according to statistics sup- plied by the Canadian Labor Con- gress. Yet many groups of Cana- dian workers d d, and even ' By Newsman LONDON (CP) -- The Daily *, Telegraph says that The Street ? That Died, a new novel by Ca- nadian newspaper man Wallace i Reyburn, '"'won't quite do." Critic Daniel George rebukes Reyburn for not playing fair in his accounts of love affairs and says the story shouldn't have paid off with the hero's decision to write a novel of the same name as the book. Bui George adds: "Taking into. account some of approximate to, US. wage scales. For Canada to regain her com- petitive position in the world, workers must recognize that the benefits of automation and im- proved industrial techniques must be passed on in the form of cheaper prices for faclory products. If the workers demand that savings in production costs should be used for their benefit alone, through higher wages, we will in short order find ourselves in inglorious mercantile isola- tion--which would inexorably be- come national bankruptcy. ALL IN SAME BOAT There are three parties to our problem: The blame does not lie only on greedy workers. It lies equally on greedy capital and on lethargic government, Capital must take the risk of the high expenditure needed to modernize and expand our pro- duction, expenditure which must cover everything from original research to efficient machinery. Government must create the merchantile climaté in which our goods can fight their way into markets outside Canada, without first having to hurdle such ob- stacles as tariff walls, quotas, and an entirely unrealistic ex- change rate on our dollar, That this government is singu- larly unconscious of our acute trade problems was made evi- dent by the fact that on April 19th, the Four Wise Men, ap- pointed three months earlier by Canada and our 19 neighbours in the Atlantic Community, pre- sented their recommendations in Paris. We do 86 per cent of our foreign trade with those Atlantic neighbors -- yet our minister of trade was not in Paris to receive that report--instead, he was in Moscow, with whom we do one half of one per cent of our foreign trade. QUEEN'S PARK Battle About Fluorine Comes To Key By DON O"HEARN TORONTO -- The fluoridation committee is off and running. It is to hear two weeks of evi- dence and argument -- with fin- gers crossed and the hope there is no blood-shed. The bulk of the two weeks will be spent talking about teeth and fluorine, and stomachs and flu- orine and bones and fluorine--a rehash of the old familiar battle of fluorine, On the last few days it will get down to the key point: Whether you have the right to make me take fluorine if I don't want to. WOULDN'T CALL The anti - fluoridationists are still very incensed at the pro- cedure of the committee. There were two experts, in par- ticular, they . feit should be on hand for all its public sittings. They are a Dr. F. B. Exner of Seattle and Dr. George L. Wald- bott of Detroit.

The chances are, of course, that most of them are from the crack-pot fringe which has been so strong on both sides of this emotional controversy. The solid people may not be heard from, MAN LOST The province has lost and Hy- dro has won an outstanding civil servant, Alex V. Crate has resigned as director of Trade and Industry in the Department of Planning and Development, Mr. Crate and his minister did not see eye to eye. This is no piece of very cone fidential information. The minister, Hon. W. M. Nickle, has made it obvious in various public ways. Such as last year when he only attended very briefly a mammoth industrial development confer ence Trade and Industry had ore ganized. Mr. Crate had the respect of all others closely associated with him. And there aren't too mahy of his stature in our civil service. FOR BETTER HEALTH Proper Way To Bathe A Bed-Ridden Patient HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. BATHING a bed-ridden patient need not be difficult or messy-- if you know what you are doing. For most such patients, a bath two or maybe three times a week is plenty. But we want the pa- tient to be as comfortable as possible, so if he perspires a great deal it might be advisable to bathe him every day. Informative Booklet The American Heart' Associa- tion recently published an article on the subject of bathing in a booklet entitled "Home Care of the Child with Rheumatic Fever." While this booklet is designed primarily to aid in the caring of a rheumatic fever victim, the bathing technique applies for all persons confined to their beds. Simple Steps First thing to do is to fill a large dishpan or baby tub with warm water, Next, place a bath towel under the portion of the body to be washed first. Then wet a wash- cloth with the warm water, squeezing the cloth so that it won't drip. Use very little soap and be sure to rinse the skin thoroughly. Follow This Order Wash the face first Then continue' with the bath, washing each portion of the body in the following order: The front -of the neck, the front of the chest, one arm, then the other arm; next the abdomen, one leg, the other leg, the back and finally 'the area between the legs. Thorough Yet Gentle You must wash thoroughly, but gently, the armpits, the groin and any other area that is par- ticularly affected by perspiration. Be sure to keep the patient well covered throughout the bath. After you have washed his face, uncover only the small sec- tion of the body that you are washing at that particular mo- ment. Dry and Cover Each area should be dried thoroughly as soon as it has been washed and then it should be covered with a blanket. I suggest that, after bathing a child, you should apply baby oil to his back, buttocks, heels, elbows and any other spot¢ that might be chafed through constant pressure on the mattress. QUESTION AND ANSWER . P.: Through an accidental ey on the head, I have lost my hearing. Several doctors who have exe amined me agree that there is nothing wrong with my ears. There are times when I move quickly or shake my head when I hear for a split second. Can you tell me why this happens and if it is a good in- dication that my hearing can be restored ? Answer: This question can best be answered by an ear specialist after a careful examination. Deafness following a blow on the head can be permanent. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM The other day a New Yorker got out the wrong side of the bed and fell out of a two-storey win- dow. This is considered a very poor way to start off the day. A radio broadcasting station is calling its disc jockeys "Musi- cators", If any of them are bribed to play records, it is ase sumed that instead of "payola', the tenm "emolument" "will be used.
