Zhe Oshawa Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 6 Monday, June 6, 1960 Labor Force Faster Than A job that needs domg and one that # can do well is being 'undertaken by the Senate: the study by a Senate.com- mittee of Canada's manpoyer in rela- tion to employment and unemployment n the country. In other words, is the eountry's economy really able to ereate jobs at as fast a rate as people are growing into the labor force? And # not, why not? To measure the problem in bare statistics, between 1949 and 1959 the increase im the mumber of potential workers was 2,294,000 while the erease in the number of Canadians with jobs was only 955,000. For purposes of this comparison, "potential workers" are Canadians of 14 years of age and over, excluding the armed forces and persons in institutions. in- Of course not everyone eoming within that age group is necessarily a job- seeker, and on that point some factors will remain as unknowns. Some women will seek a job only when times are hard and money is needed for the home; others might take a job only when times are booming and the money will buy luxuries. Older men with savings or pensions might continue at work if asked to, or might seek re-employment only if eircumstances forced it. teen-agers might stay in school jobs were hard to get conversely, if times were prosperous and financing a degree seemed feasible; Some or, university Increasing New Jobs possibly. However, youngsters will go on entering the labor force in a relatively steady stream, since, in the most re- "cent year of record, of the 210,000 whe started in the public high schools only 14,000 remained to finish. But if some factors in the power picture are impossible to weigh, others ean be pinned down fairly exactly. The mining industry, for instance, has the value of man- more than doubled its output in ten years, but it still provides just over one 'per eent of total Cana- dian jobs. On the farms, mechanization has cut employment from 1,114,000 in 1949 to 731,000 in 1959. In those years the finance, insurance and real estate services increased their employ- ment by one-half; wholesale and retail trade by a third: construction by nearly a third -- but this group will founder if the eountry's real production does not expand at a steady pace. In that eonnection there is certainly a danger signal in the statistics of manufacturing. This industry directly employs one out of four Canadians, but it is not going ahead either in terms relative to the whole economy or in absolute terms of its own output and employment; factory employment showed actually 55.000 fewer in 1959 than in 1956. And since so many other jobs grow out of manu- facturing growth, therein seems to lie at least part of the answer to the "if not?" question of the man- not, why power-employment problem. Running To Keep Place Any one who was working for a living mn 1939 and is still at it probably wond- ers from time to time how he is doing today, in the matter of income, as esom- pared to that earlier time. Wages and salaries are away up but, because of inflation, so are prices. And, to an extent probably unrealized, so are taxes, A 'Toronto Globe and Mail financial writer worked out some dollar-by-dollar som- parisons that are enlightening. In the matter of income, he finds, Canadians have had to run pretty fast to stay where they were. Twenty years ago a married man with two children and an income of $3,000 paid $7 ineome tax, leaving him a residue of $2,993. In 1959, to achieve the equivalent in purchasing power of 1939's $2,993, a married man with two ehildren had to earn a total of $6,588, Income tax took $601 in 1959 pared to $7 in 1939 and, because this year's dollar has only half the buying power of the prewar dollar, the remain- ing $5987 would buy $2,993 bought in 1939. The loss to inflation was $2,993 and the loss to higher 'taxes was $594. By com- what the worker in the middle-income bracket in 1939 has had to promote himself into the higher-income bracket im 1959 just to Better Night According to statistics just released the same formula, by the All-Canada Insurance Federation, one out of every 197 Canadians was injured in a motor vehicle aceident during 1959. This meant that some per- son was hurt, perhaps eritically, every five minutes. The Federation, which more than 250 competing Canadian fire, automobile and casualty fitms, says that many car accidents represents msurance he Oshowa Times L. WILSON, Publisher and Geners!

Average Daily Net Paid as of April 30, 1960 16,999 stay put. The $5,000-a-year, two-child family man im 1939 paid $96 income $4,904; to live on the same scale in 1959 he needed to earn $11,576, out of which he paid $1,759 income tax. The $10,000- 1939 needed $26,781 tax and had a net income of a-year man of by 1959. Because the tax on earnings is pro- gressive, any one who was im the high- income bracket in 1939 had to ~romote his income to .stionomical he his by 1959. The $25,000-a-year men of 1939 --of whom there were 1,852 in that year --needed $75,300 in 1959 to equal his earlier income. Last year's tax records have not yet been published but would be a reasonably good wager that there were no more, perhaps fewer, Canadians in this group an 1959 than there were in 1939.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The main topic of conversation when Canadians meet in London at the moment is the bill which has been intro- duced in the parliament of Can- ada providing for the payment, under certain conditions, of old age pensions to Canadian eciti- zens residing outside that coun- try. That is something for which thousands of aged Canadians now living in the United King- dom have been hoping for many years Many have been the represen- tations made 'in this direction by the Canadian Veterans' Associa- tion of the United Kingdom Now that the government has taken the fateful decision to ex- tend old age pension benefits to its citizens living outside Can- ada, there are many in Britain who will enjoy a much better standard of living than they have had heretofore. MANY DEBARRED At the same time, the condi- tions under which old age pen- sions are to be paid to Cana- dians over 70 living outside of Canada, are such as to debar the majority of them from se- curing the pension. There are thousands of First World War veterans of the Canadian army who have remained over here since the elose of that war. They certainly can not qualify, be- cause they cannot have had 25 vears Canadian residence since they reached the age of 21. The same is true of the thousands of Canadian veterans of the second world war who have remained in the United Kingdom, They cannot acquire the residential qualification of 25 years unless they return to Canada and live there until they have acquired that length of residence. Because of this residential re- quirement, then, the numbers of Canadians in the United King- FOR BETTER HEALTH dom who will benefit from the new legislation will be relatively small. Those who will be most iikely to benefit are those who migrated to Canada two or three decades ago, lived there until they came to the time of retirement, and then returned to Britain, They will be eligible to receive the old age pension over kere, and it will certainly be a godsend (to them. A couple both over 70, receiving the old age pension of $110 .a month over here, could certainly have a far better living standard than they could on the same amount of money in Canada ANOTHER REQUEST Now that the thin end of the wedge has been inserted into the problem of the old age pension vayments overseas, impetus has been given to another request. At the annual conference of the Canadian Veterans Association of the United Kingdom held at Guildford, Surrey, the major item on the agenda was a strongly-worded plea to the fed- eral government to make. the payment of War Veterans' Allow- ance to veterans living outside of Canada effective Up to the present. such re- quests have always been refused by the Canadian government. But now that the door has been opened for the payment of Cana- dian old age pensions overseas, tne CVAUK has high hopes that the same will apply to the War Veterans' Allowance, although it is hoping that the residential re- quirements will be much less stringent than in the case of old age pensions A strong resolution to this ef- fect has been presented to High Commissioner George A. Dréw for transmission to the federal government in Ottawa HOPE FOR NEGOTIATIONS Ri. Hon. Reginald Maulding, President of the Board of Trade, is more hopeful than at any time mn the last two years that some kind of agreement can be reach- ed belween the European Com- White Blood Cells Patrol Entire Body HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD The white blood cells are the policemen of the body They patrol, they rest in sta- tion houses, they fight off ene- mies and they retire just like any human policeman THEIR BEAT In a normal. healthy person these white cells circulate in, the bloodstream for varying periods. This is their beat -- their patrol work After a time, the white cells go to their various stations. Some travel to the liver, others to the lungs, still others to the spleen, lymphatic tissues and the bone marrow. Here they rest until they are needed to answer an emer gency alarm ANSWER RIOT CALL Whenever a disease germ in- vades the body, they swarm out oi their stations to answer the viot call They make a stubborn fight Whether they are successful or aot depends upon the condition ol the body and the help that the eells receive from any drugs used in treatment Usually, though, the life of the white cells is a peaceful one. Often they spend long periods in their station houses: without hav- ing to mobilize to fight off any in- vaders If they remain inactive for any length of #ime, they are pension- ed off. The cells in the and liver are broken up Those" stored in the through the windpipe eliminated either by coughing them up from the lungs or by swallowing them and shunting them out through the bowel Yet, even while being taken off the payroll, so to speak, the white cells are dutiful policemen. They perform a useful sweeping- up job. SWEEP CLEAN While traveling through the windpipe and passages of the lung, they sweep up bacteria, for- eign particles and even dust The retiring cells, which travel through the wall of the gut into the bowels, pick up bacterial flora of the intestines and sweep them out of the body Its a pretty effective force, don't you think?

The decision of the Outer Seven, expressing their willingness to enter into negotiations with the Common Market Six, gives hope for progress in that direction. rhe Common Market group has in existence a liaison committee sel up a year ago, for the speci- fic purpose of carrying on nego- tiations with the Outer Seven. This group has also deferred certain important lines of action for six months to leave room for nezotiations and time to reach an understanding with the EFTA There will not, of course, be any direct union of the two trading groups in Europe. Bri- tam's association with the Com- monwealth stands in the way of that. But there is a strong possi- bility that agreements may be reached to permit co-operative action which will enable the two groups to work together and pre- vent the development of a trade war. NOT YET DECIDED The British parliamentary La- bor 'Party has not yet reached any decision on what policy to fellow in the international and defence fields as a result of the "summit conference collapse, In fact, the collapse of that confer- ence left the Socialists complete ly off guard to an even greater extent than it did the govern. ment. 50 far; Labor leader Hugh Gaitskell has confined himself fo patting: Mr. Macmillan on the back for his efforts to save the summit. But' before long, his party will have to define its policy towards Russia, and on de- fence, and it is pot going to be easy to secure any degree of unanimity within a party made up of people with totally differ- ent ideas. In this respect, the position of the government, with Hs position well-defined and known, is much more comfort- able than that of the opposition.

Unfortunately there always ap- pears to be a fly in thie ointment, namely, the attractive - looking police department building which always appears to be in a state of perpetual darkness after sun- down; both inside and out. Oh yes, another fly, what a pity the property on the east side of Queen street cannot be tidied up. This particular King and Queen street area has been an eyesore for years. Are there no municipal bylaws compelling owners fo keep their es in a reasonable state of repair and tidiness? Oshawa Regular Reader TAG DAY Dear Sir On behalf of the Regent, Mrs. A.

To Hungarians the world over Trianon means just what it denotes: three times NO! For it was here that on June 4, 1920, the peace-dictate of Trianon was imposed on Hungary by which she lost two thirds of her terri- tory and one half of her popula- tion. All this reslited from the one- sided application of the well- known Wilsonian principle of the right of self-determination of the nationalities. Actually, this prin- ciple served as a lever only for the destruction and partition of an ancient empire. The multi- racial Austro-Hungarian Empire was truncated in favor of the suc- cessor states of Czechoslovakia, Juooslavia and Rumania. But, unfortunately, empires have a tendency to give way not to small self-governing, indepen- dent units, but to other empires. The states created by the de- struction of the Danubian Empire lasted only some 20 years. Silu- ated between a powerful Ger- many and a powerful Russia they SURPRISE START STRATFORD, Ont.

It was an exhibit at a farm mu- seum here when someone pulled the long starting handle, and the machine started up, belching clouds of white smoke, might have survived had they re- formed as a powerful federation. But they did not so self-deter- mine. The peace treaties of Versailles and Tri were never ratified by the U.S. Senate; for it was evident that justice was flouted in those treaties.

This was the country described by the great French savant, Elysee Re- clus, as "the most perfect geo- graphical unity in Europe', pro- tected by the carpathians for a thousand miles in length.
