Tews mem: CANADA AVERAGED A RECORD 2.5 Bank ROBBERIES A WEEK LAST YEAR BY-GONE DAYS 3 YEARS AGO dhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Friday, May 27, 1960 Still Time To Support Refugee Year's Appeal We were reminded the other day, by way of letters of the editor, that Osh- awa's school children had done a splen- did job in response to the World Refugee Year appeal, while their elders had shown considerably less interest. In defence of the adults, it must be pointed out that there have been many appeals for funds in recent months--all of them worthy, but numerous enough to impose on many people the necessity of choosing from among them. | Canadians in general showed con- siderable indifference to the WRY appeal, leading some commentators to suggest that we can hardly appreciate anything unless we've experienced it ourselves, They have pointed to the example of the Eskimos of Frobisher Bay. In presenting handicrafts (which later realizezd about $5000 at auction) to the special UN representative in Can- ada for WRY, the spokesman of the Eskimos said, "We know that the re- fugees are in need of food, shelter and warmth, In the past we have lived this way ourselves. This is why we wish to join may of our fellow Canadians im helping the world's refugees." This is the first world-wide humani- tarian "year" the world has ever known. It does not end until June 30, so there is still time for those who are able to help to do so. It can be done locally or through the national committee for World Refugee Year, Box 550, Toronto. The - Canadian committee does not intend to extend the Year in Canada past the international deadline, even though Canada as a nation has done considerably less than many smaller and poorer countries--Norway, for example, It is hoped that the Canadian fund will build and equip one vocational training eentre for the UNWRA program in the Middle East and assist in the transpor- tation of European refugees from the Chinese mainland to countries for which they have visas, To accomplish these tasks, a minimum of $1,500,000 is needed. The ending of World Refugee Year will not, of course, see the end of the refugee problem. But a substantial and encouraging start will have been made on it, People At The Polls Presumably in the hope of bringing to the polls a higher proportion of eligible voters in this U.S, presidential election year, a reprint of an article from that useful annual, the Information Please Almanac, is being circulated south of our border, Some copies have strayed into Canada, and the facts presented are not without interest. In a comparison of the percentages of votes cast by those eligible to vote in elections in 16 countries, Canada is ranked 15th, putting up a better show only than the United States. Actually, the Information Please editor is a bit behind the times as far as the Canadian record is concerned. He gives 67 per eent for Canada in his listing of "the percentage of voters who turned out in recent elections abroad" That figure is correct for Canada's 1953 national election, but in the 1958 election the proportion had improved to 79 per cent. However, even if that most recent figure had been used in the table, Canada would only move from 15th place in the list to a 12th-place tie with Norway and Britain, The turnout of voters in U.S, presi- dential elections seems very low, until eertain domestic factors are taken into consideration. In the 10 elections from 1920 to 1956, the vote varied from a low of 43.6 per cent of the potential in 1920 to a high of 62.7 per cent in 1952; in the second Eisenhower election, 1956, the percentage was 60.4 Part of the reason for this poor record is obvious in the statistics of the voting by in- dividual states. In the south the Negro is virtually denied his vote, In 1956 only 22.1 per cent of eligible voters in Mississippi got to the polls. "Mississippi," the article expains, "requires two years' residence in the state; makes payment of a poll tax a condition for civilian voting; and does not allow registration after the first week of July. It also im- poses a literacy test that requires voters 'to read, write, and interpret reasonably any section of the State Constitution' a requirement susceptible to discrimina- tion on the part of the examiners." A significant point in the international comparison is that Austria ranks first in proportion of eligible voters exercising their franchise, 9 per cent; then come Italy, France, Turkey, West Germany, Greece, Indonesia and Israel -- and all are well ahead of Caada's best elec- tion record. Within the memory of the voting-age . citizens in most of these eountries there have been times when they had not yet achieved, or had lost, the right to vote, No doubt that is why they now value that right so highly. Farm Price Influences Developments outside Canada may affect farm production and prices here more in the future than has been the case recently, The Bank of Montreal's gurrent business review draws attention to the recent decline in beef prices as both Canadian and U.S. herds have increased in size, and to the lower pork prices since the introduction of deficiency payments, So far as wheat is concerned, it is necessary to consider sales prospects in a global perspective, and especially in the light of postwar gains in the US. share of the world market. Total wheat exports for the current crop year are expected to approach the previous year's level of almost 300 million bushels, The Oshawa Times 7. L. WILSON, Pubhsher and Genersl Menager €.

If the estimate is correct, it will mean that combined export and domestic requirements would exceed the estimated total crop, so that a further reduction in the carry-over could be achieved. In contrast to wheat farmers, who are interested in world-wide supply and demand, Canadian livestock producers are concerned almost exclusively with the Canadian and U.S. markets, the re- view points out. U.S, herds are increasing steadily and as a result there may be a further drop in Canadian cattle exports south of the border. The embargo against importation of American hogs, imposed in 1952, has been lifted. As a result, it can be ex- pected that U.S. pork prices will influ- ence Canadian prices. Even so, the out- standing single factor for Canadian producers is the new deficiency-pay- ment system, the bank believes. Now four months old, the plan has been at least partly responsible for hog market- ings falling from the highest-ever figure of 262,000 in the week immediately prior to the start of the plan to the subse- quent average of only 148,000 weekly. Domestic consumption of pork in 1959 was a very high level, nearly 20 per cent above 1958; reflecting relatively low prices and an increased population. With prices still lower in 1960 to date, consumption has been maintained close to last year's level. In dairy farming, a broad measure of price support is given the industry "to ensure income stability to milk producers and an adequate and continuous supply of milk." Price supports, have also been used to vary the pattern of milk use to keep output of different dairy products in balance, LETS FACE 4) DE PROFESSIONS OVERCROWDED a a ~~ WHERE MONEY IS, THERE THEY GO OTTAWA REPORT Sparks Street Mall In Gay Atmosphere By PATRICK NICHOLSON The dreary, backward, unimag- inative commercial community of our Capital City has at last set an example of sorts to the coun- try; Ottawa is the first Canadian community to institute a Shop- ping Mall. Last week, three blocks of Sparks Street, the old and run- down main shopping street in the centre of Ottawa, were closed to traffic, The street area thus de- nied to vehicles was given over to pedestrians, Restaurants en. joyed an access of free floor area as they spread tables and chairs across sidewalk and street; trees were planted in temporary tubs; a fountain was installed; a tour- ist information booth opened; and the promenade flanked with benches. The shopping mall idea was born in U.S.A, Last year Toledo, Ohio, installed a temporary mall on an experimental basis, which is not being repeated this sum. mer largely because the city's traffic and parking committee disapprove of it. Kalamazoo, Michigan, now boasts the States only permanent shopping mall, two blocks long, although the idea has been advanced in sev- eral other cities such as Pitts. burgh, Baltimore, Dallas, Hous- ton and St. Paul REBIRTH OF CITY Ottawa has two potential Ca- nadian rivals in Victoria and Colgary, where shopping malls arc also in the talking stage. The purpose of Ottawa's shop- ping mall is to halt the drift to suburban shops, The trees, the benches and the fountains are the $30,000 bait in a three-month gamble to lure the dollar-spender back to the old centre-town shops. Ottawa's largest and most mod- ern suburban shopping centre has the facilities of a shopping mall, plus the added convenience of a huge free car park. Without adequate parking facilities, a centre - town shopping mall will probably lack enduring attrac- tion; yet Ottawa's mall has had the effect of seriously reducing the space available for parking in its immediate vicinity, It is too early yet to tell what the longterm pattern of Ottawa's mall will be. Some of the first citizens of our national capital to take ad- vantage of its facilities were the winos, who saw its sun-drenched free benches as a fine place to sleep it off. They were promptly hauled off to' the cells by the alert finest, LAKE GAY PAREE The promoters of the mall per- haps encouraged this foreseeable development, by their prior pub- licity that the Mall would have 'the atmosphere of Gay Paree', This promise immediately at- tracted the attention of the Ontario Temperance Federation, who intervened before the Liquor Licence Board to oppose any possible similarity between the frank, enjoyable and temperate drinking habits at Parisian side- walk bistros, and the coffee-serv- ing lunch counters newly sprawled onto Ottawa's mall, Tourists continue to be discour- aged by the choice between sip. ping hot coffee in the sizzling sunshine, or swilling exciseable refreshments out of a tooth. glass in a hotel or motel bed- room, Ottawa's shopping mall experi- ment will last until Labor Day. Its supporters hope to see it made permanent before 1967, such is the civic speed with which lesser decisions are taken in our capital, With the band of the Governor General's Foot Guards playing "On the Mall" on opening day; with a CBC orchestra playing Jazz in a shop window normally dedicated to the display of fem- inine scanties on subsequent days with the benches providing a sunny resting place for footsore pedestriaps; it is all very gay for the curious. It remains to be seen whether increased spending makes it equally gay for the shop-keeper. FOR BETTER HEALTH Exciting TV Programs Affect A Child's Sleep HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Children remember things that impress them much longer than adults do. While something may be quickly forgotten by us older folks, the kids may take it much move seriously. For this reason I strongly urge strict parental censorship of tele- vision programs which the kids are permitted to watch immed- iately before bedtime. NO EXCITEMENT I have repeatedly stressed the importance of giving the Kids a chance to calm down before they hit the hay There should be no exciting or strenuous games and no exciting TV programs, either, Television is a wonderful en- tertainment media -- but it must be used wisely.. Studies have de- termined that even a mildly ex- citing program can disturb a youngster's sleep. DISTURBING EFFECT Naturally, the more blopd and thunder 'the program or motion picture contains, the more it dis- turbs a child who watches it. I don't mean that this is apt to disturb a child's sleep only for the period immediately following viewing of such a program. Often the disturbing effect continues for a much longer period, perhaps as long as three weeks or so. A comedy program or a roman- tic movie is appropriate bill of fare just before bedtime, al- though 1 don't expect the kids will sit still long for that love. and-kisses stuff, Most of the newspapers publish daily listings of TV programs, Look them over and choose the programs yourself instead of leaving it up to your children. It isn't merely a matter of turn- ing the set off and arbitrarily declaring: 'You can't watch any TV pro- grams before you go to bed." This won't give satisfactory re- sults; at least, it won't for school- age children. NEED TO KNOW Your kids have to know what is going on in the TV entertain- ment world to keep up with their set just as much as you have to krow what is going on in the political world in order to keep pace with your friends. If your youngster never sees the shows the other kids talk about, he will grow ty resent your censorship. Occasionally, it is all right to permit your child to stay up a little later than usual to see a program he especially wants to view, But don't make an everyday practice of it. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. A. L.: I have a friend who thinks she may have diabetes but does not go for tests, How dangerous is it for her to neglect having tests? Answer: Untreated and uncon- trolled diabetes will eventually re- sult in hardening of the arteries which may produce heart disease, blindness, gangrene and other complications In severe cases, coma and death may rapidly occur. Perfect Pets FORT WILLIAM (CP) -- The advertisement said it would be a perfect household pet, even suit- able for the children to play with in the bathtub, So Mrs. Harry Wright ordered one. Now, after two years of home care, Elvis the reptil e--the Wrights aren't sure whether he's an alligator or crocodile--is "just a spoiled brat," says Mrs, Wright, Flvis, so named because of his slithering gate, refuses to fit into the Wrights' pattern of living. "When we turn off the light above his tank at night he bangs his head against the glass in a tantrum, "And at feeding times . . . we tried raw meat, cooked meat and all kinds of meat. Finally he was satisfied with live minnows." Fortunately minnows are avail- able because Mrs. Wright raises and sells tropical fish as a busi- ness. And the crocodile-alligator rid. dle will be settled eventually. "Alligators grow to eight feet; erocodiles grow to 12." The final service in the old St. George's Anglican Church was conducted by the rector: Rev. C. R. dePencier. Dr. C. W. Ferrier was elected president of the Y's Men's Club. Other officers elected were: E, Anderson, vice-president; E, Cor- nish, secretary and Lloyd Kelly, treasurer, Mayor W. J. Trick turned the first sod for the War Memorial, on the old Pedlar property near the City Hall. Oshawa barbers signed an- agreement to charge 20 cents for shaves. The cold wet weather prevented the Oshawa High School team from going to Toronto to enter the track and field events at the University of Toronto, , Dr. T. W. G. McKay was elect- ed second vice-president of the Health Officers' Association of Ontario. A signed petition by residents of the Westmount area was sent to the city council to' have the sidewalks on both sides of King St. W. bridge constructed outside the curbs. The building permits for the month of May were greatly be- hind those of May the previous year. According to figures avail- able to date permits totalled $55,540 as compared with $159,995 the previous year. P. H. Punshon, who was prom- inent in civic, church and frater- nal circles, died in the Oshawa General Hospital, An industrial softball league was to be organized in Oshawa by the YMCA. The City Hall, Bradley Block and the Reformer had already announced that they would enter teams in the league. Hon. W. F. Nickle, Attorney General for Ontario, sent a copy of the Mflk Act to the mayor in- forming the council that it had the authority to make pasteuriza- tion of all milk compulsory. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM A traffic engineer says that among the most dangerous driv- ers are serious thinkers occupied with their thoughts, Maybe so, but equally dangerous and far more numerous are merry mor- ons who breeze around in cars. Many a person makes the mis- take of developing his opinions in the darkroom of prejudice, "Women don't like perfect hus- bands," says a woman columnist, Women also don't like pillows made of horse feathers, In many cases the person who broadcasts the fight has better wind than the two bums who are fighting, REPORT FROM U.K. Belgium Competes For British Plants By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Belgium is deter- mined not to let France have it all her own way when it comes to offering inducements to Brit- ish industries to establish plants within the six countries of the Common Market Area. Interest in setting up branch factories of British companies was the key- note of the Belgian reception given to a trade mission which went from the United Kingdom to relatively high, so also is the pro- ductivity of industrial workers. Quite clearly, the Belgians are out to out-bid their friends, the French, and also the neighbor- ing people of the Netherlands, in encouraging foreign industries to invest capital in their country, and provide more employment, The terms are tempting, and already one large British con- cern, the Standard Motor Car Company, is said te be nibbling at the bait.

Belgian government officials gave a warm welcome to the British trade mission, made up of leading industrialists and fin- anciers, The visitors ran right into a harrage of propaganda, directed at inducing them to set up plants in Belgium and thus get the right side of the new cus- toms wall which will protect the industries of the six countries against outside competition and at the same time guarantee them a free market of 218,000,000 pop- ulation, when their overseas ter- ritories are taken into considera. tion. AS GOOD AS FRANCE France has already been se- curing branches of British in- dustries by offering inducements to them to establish factories in areas of high unemployment, such as the district around Calais. Belgium, however, is offering inducements which are quite as attractive as those which are offered by France. Here are some of the pieces of bait which have been placed before the Brit- ish mission by Belgian govern- ment officials: Loans from the Belgian govern- ment will be provided at low rates of interest to assist in the establishment of branch indus- tries. There will be complete tax ex- emption for a number of years on all profits which are ploughed back into industries and not paid out in dividend to shareholders. In some special areas, govern- ment-built factories will be made available to new industries at low rentals. There will be specific guaran tees from the Belgian govern- ment that repatriation of profits as well as capital will be allowed to all British industries coming into the country. Belgian officials are stressing the fact that there is a plentiful supply of labor in their country, and 'while the wage rates are a REG. 399.50 Your Trade (up to) $110.00 YOU PAY 289.50 THE TAMPICO -- provides a fresh look in slim design and a sharp, clear 21" picture.
