The Oshawa Times Published by Cagadion Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont, Poge 6 Monday, May 16, 1960 Fine Scholarship Plan To Mark Hundred Years The Bank of Montreal has given a splendid lead to plans for observance in 1967. It has scholarship 1967 with the award of. two fellowships for ad- vanced study worth $5000 apiece. These of Canada's centennial announced a! seven-year program; te culminate in fellowships will go to two scholars from an original group of 50 high school stu- dents. Fifty scholarships, divided pro- portionately among the provices, will go to students who will enter universities this fall; Ontario's share is 13 scholar- ships worth $750 apiece. In each of the program, the value of the scholarships increases as the num- ber of participants declines. In the 1961- 62 year, the top 16 of the original 50 students will renew their scholarships each year until 1964, the value of each scholarship rising to $1500. The top eight from the 16 will then receive fellowships worth $3000 each for three more years, taking them through to the centennial year. And then the final to $5000 fellowships wilt be awarded. To each of the final winners, the bank will have provided $19,250: by the end of the program. The awards will be divided originally between arts and science stu- dents, more or less equally. The alloca- tion by provinces was worked out on a population basis, with a minumum of two scholarships per province. It plan, offering generous assistance to the de- serving. The bank only the need for assistance but the is a sound, praiseworthy has recognized not increase in the cost of higher education. Many scholarships that were instituted years ago, when a dollar meant a great deal more than it does today, are now little better than prizes, in terms of real value. Scholarships are not a student's way through university. Their meant to pay purpose is to make attendance at univer- gifted students who might otherwise be unable to attend. The Bank of Montreal scholarships will do this, just as they will enable the ad- sity possible for vanced students to pursue the still more expensive graduate studies. Thus the bank's contribution to Can- ada's birthday celebration is an invest- ment in Canada's greatest resource -- its bright young people. We hope the similar ideas in other plan inspires organizations. Choice For Canadians The president of Du Pont of Canada Ltd., Herbert H. Lank, trialist subscribe to the is one indus- who does not roseate popular notion that this country is growing inexorably into a great in- dustrial, manufacturing nation. Spaking at the anual meeting of his eompany he said that comfortable ideas about industrial and dangerous national delusion." The comparative statistics which he progress are a "great quotes to confirm In 1940, Mr. Lank said, manufacturing seem his warning. accounted for 26.7 per cent of the gross domestic product in 1958 it was 26.3 per cent. So while the amount of manufactur- ing went up and new industries began, there was no relative gain. We supplied at the same time more raw natural re- sources to the world. Industrial produe- did portance in the whole enonomy. Mr. Lank believes that Canada should re-examine its national objectives and decide whether it is to be primarily a supplier of matural resources to the tion not increase its relative im- rest of the world or to develop a more balanced industrial economy. "There in is nothing ignominious, of the natural gas, The Ottawa Journal comments. "It might even be course, selling some of excess riches we enjoy, the the minerais or the wood." argued that we have no right to hoard these things to ourselves.

Commissions and bank governors have been telling us, that we are in debt not to pay for productive machinery, but to enjoy eonsumer goods. "The sobering is that despite with which we fact all the natural wealth have been endowed, despite our assid- uity in selling it, by itself it will not keep us in the way we have been accus- tomed to living. Mr. Lank has added Whatever that another it argument said happens, cannot be we were not warned." UK. Spy-Plane Views The spy-plane incident has caused as much discussion in the United Kingdom as in the United States itself. Here are eomments from leading British news- papers: Times: The most disturbing feature the came to authorize a flight of this kind over Russia on the eve of the summit meeting. The most likely reason is that the right hand did not know what the left hand was up to; and there ought now to be a stringent tightening up in the eontrol and co-ordination of the central of incident is how the Americans intelligence agency's activities . . . The way to get rid of spies is to make them unnecessary, and if Mr. Khrushchev is alarmed as well as outraged by the U-2 episode he could help to achieve this.

Correspondent for The Oshawa Times LONDON It is quite the nor- mal thing for Canadian towns and cities to offer such ihduce- ments as are permissible under the 'law to industries to establish new plants within their borders. It considered good business to do this. In France, the French government is off ing lavish assistance to British industries to establish plants in that country. is FOR BETTER HEALTH Here in London, just the re- verse is happening.

We call this a *'take". Generally, a "take" will ap- pear on the fourth or fifth day after the vaccination is adminis tered. Evidence that the vaccin- ation has taken is the appearance of a small blister. APPLY DRESSING When this blister appears, apply a three - by.. three - inch sterile gauze dressing to the site and change it day. The dressing should comprise about four or five layers of gauze with two quarter-inch strips of adhesive tape, one at each end of the bandage. The tape strips should aot extend more than half-way. around the arm HELPFUL TIP Here's a tip 1 think you might find helpful: Instead of applying the tape over the dressing, fasten a short strip of cloth to each end of the tape near the dressing. In this way, you can tie the cloth strips to hold the dressing in place, PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "There are doubtless biengs on other planets who are just as ntelligent as people are," says an astronomer.

A further 220 firms are now in th midst of negotiations with th London County Council, and are considering transferring their op- erations elsewhere, with the fi- nancial assistance that will be given them by the council « In a progress report, the com- mittee says: "To stimulate the movement of small firms, we are considering ways and means by which some more positive assistance can be given to them during the initial period of transfer, which presents the greatest financial difficulty." OPENING NEW AREAS Solving the problem of getting industries out of London is not simple. But negotiations are now going ahead, and are making pro- gress, to have these moving-out firms transferred to places like Aylesbury Buckingham- shire, Bury St. Edmunds and Haverhall in Suffolk and Thed- ford in Noriolk, Behind the scenes is the neces- sity of moving excess population out of London, In the case of Thediord, a town expansion scheme has been inaugurated to take care of both industries and their workers in that area. The original plan called for increas- ing the population of Thedford from 5000 to 12,000. Now it has been extended to add another 10, 000 people to that number. Since the start of the Thedford town expansion scheme, 2373 Lon- don families have moved out to new homes, and to jobs in the town's new plants. A further 16,733 families have gone into some of the other new towns scat. tered within 50 miles of London. This migration has played an appreciable part in reducing the population of London during the last seven years by 153,000 to 3,194,000. This figure covers only the area under the jurisdiction of the London County Council, and does not include the Great London boroughs on the fringes. NOVA SCOTIA PIONEERS LEIGH, N.Z.

This is the winter harvest of soft- wood logs, cut and trimmed by our lumberjacks, and stacked on the ice all ready for the opening of [ree transportation. Ottawa is the quiet and serene home of our government, dest- ined by its location to be an in dustrial backwater, It makes a disproportionately small contri- bution to Ontario's huge manu. facturing output, totalling half that of all Canada. Ottawa is un- likely ever to become a throb- bing centre of industry, like the big cities in the golden horseshoe of Southern Ontario's waterfront, because it far removed from the traffic artery provided by the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes, Yet nature gives our capital the necessities to participate in what is still Canada's most im portant industry, so it is perhaps symbolic that those softwood logs jostle down the Ottawa and Gat ineau Rivers each spring, to the pulp and paper mills located here Manufacturing various forms of BY-GONE DAYS 16 YEARS AGO At a Rotary Clib meeting, Charles R.

In value of produce, it is the second most important industry in British Columbia; the fourth in OntaMo and Nova Scotia: the 10th in Manitoba. Across Canada as whole, this most widespread our industries employs 65,000 workers at average wages of $4665 a year, and the factaty price of its products exceeded $1.500,000,000 last year. In addi- tion, it provides winter work with a welcome cash income for many farmers and other summer workers, who go into our woods to fell the needed trees. Near Ottawa, this raw material for our paper mills consists of the same evergreens, pine, bal- sam, and spruce, which we buy in our market as Christmas trees. These of course are allowed to grow larger, until their trunks average six inches in diameter The woodsmen cut their trimmed trunks here into four-foot lengths and the mills pay about $20.50 for a. cord, containing about 110 pieces of this size, of FROM TREES TO NEWS In the mills, these logs have the bark stripped off, and are then ground and pulped. From woodpulp, a variety of products made: all forms of paper, from thick wrapping paper to thin toilet tissues, as well as writing. papers, and also the Leavy roofing papers and paper- board used in home-building. But the most important product is newsprint, the name given to the paper on which newspapers are printed One cord of softwood yields ap- proximately one ton of news- print, which a newspaper buys for $130. One ton of newspaper will provide approximately 72,000 sheets of paper of the size of a newspaper page. Thus one of these Ottawa - standard logs of wood, for whieh the paper mill the lumberjack about 19 cents, will yield about 650 news- paper pages, costing $1.20.

The cost of gathering the news and photographs which you en- joy in your paper, plus the cost of printing the paper and dis. tributing it to your homes, of course costs more than the one per cent or so per copy, which is the bare profit made on buy- in ind selling the newsprint These expenses are covered by payments to the newspaper pub- lishing company, made by stores and manufacturers and private persons who wish to buy space in the newspaper for 'their ad- vertisements.
