Fhe Oshawa Ses Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 6 Wednesday, July 6, 1960 * . Still A Better World Despite Shortcomings In his efforts to live longer and to enjoy life more, man has complicated matters to the extent where some of his bright ideas have backfired, says the Port Arthur News-Chronicle. While people wio look upon smok- ing as one of the sins have been making considerable clamor over what wy profess to believe is a kinship betwee it and lung cancer, new dangers are beginning to worry health officials in the United States. Modern living is beginning to be as full of potential death dangers as were conditions when milk and butter tasted of the creosote used to fend off flies and milk was delivered in cans which were covered more to keep the milk in than bugs out. Penicillin, which keeps dairy cattle healthy, can endanger some who drink the milk. Coal-tar dyes which make lip- sticks sparkle, chemicals used to keep worms and bugs off fruits, and fumes from automobile exhausts are found to con- Drinking water, once a symbol of purity, is becoming so saturated with sewage as cities along the sources grow, that more and more medication is being required to make it fit to drink. Technology, after turning fts eon- siderable abilities and talent to making us healthier with disease-free food; im- proved sanitation and air conditioning, may be called to pull us out of the dangers into which we are being pre- eipitated by its own works. United States government authorities, whose work involves the health of the people, are becoming alarmed. The food we eat; the water and milk we drink; the very air we breathe, are becoming suspect. The things added to make food and drink more healthy finally react into new dangers. Sewage installations to dispose of our wastes re- turn to us more poisons in the water we drink. Atomic tests to keep our nations strong, pose a fallout danger which could, some people say, wind up by tain elements which alse can contribute "doing the very opposite. to cancer. Atomic fallout from bombs being tested to preserve both free and totali- tarian nations, fall on the green foods humans eat and the grass upon which the livestock feeds. Be all these things as they may; it is still a better world in which we live than in the old days when our fathers were faced with the old dangers and died of the ancient ills at ages we call young today. What's Eating Doctor? It has been claimed that only in North America do children need persuading to eat their food--a condition which some parents find irksome. Don't be irked, parents. It's all your fault anyway. Wouldn't you know it? So says the Vancouver Sun editorially. Dr. Marvin Cornblath of Chicago's: Michael Reese Hospital has been study- ing juvenile obesity and one of his con- clusions is that fat children tend to be- come fat adults. So, he says, do not 'suggest to your child that eating all the food on his plate is a sign of virtue. That kind of talk leads to children becoming over- weight, which leads to overweight adults, which leads to heart disease and other maladies. Do you draw junior's attention to the fact that the food he is wasting would be a vision of delight to some waif who is slowly starving to death this very day on the streets of Bombay? Don't do that, says Dr. Cornblath, If you do you will induce a feeling of guilt in junior. (This may seem extraordinary to some parents. They were trying to induce a feeling of guilt in junior. Tut, tut. Makes him stuff himself.) Then there's that discredited old saw, "We may be poor, but one thing, we have plenty to eat" The doctor finds that this puts food in the category of compensation for other things lacking in the home, including love. Odd. It has always seemed to us that people who enjoyed their food alse enjoyed the other good things of life, that they who ate well also laughed well, lived well and loved well. But it would seem that we were wrong. Actu- ally they were only digging their graves with their teeth and their warm and pleasant exteriors covered a bubbling ' stew of guilt complexes. One field Dr. Cornblath has ap-, parently not pursued. What is the effect of his style of eating on the develop- ment of a sense of humor? We recommend he pursue this study. Success With Vengeance Canada's non-inflation policy™is suc- eceeding--but too well, says the Van- eouver Sun, It is threatening Finance Minister Donald Fleming's carefully nourished hope of a balanced budget for 1960-61. Instead of a small but tidy surplus, Mr. Fleming could be hit by another deficit, unless he is careful--or lucky. The abrupt slow-down in Canada's economic expansion in the first three months of the year, reported by the bureau of statistics, must make Mr. Fleming unhappy. . He banks on a rise of six per cent in Canada's national production this year. But the first three months show only one per cent better than the last quarter of 1959. For several years the economy has been buoyed by a high rate of con- sumer spending. This year, says DBS, there has been a small but Gnusual de- dhe Oshawa Times T. L.

The stock market is sluggish, bank lending is slow. Bond prices, however, are firmer--a sign that playing it safe. The situation eould, and probably will, improve as the year rolls along, investors are The question is, how much? \d With an increasing population, Canada requires a substantial increase in its gross national product. If the GNP falls or remains stationary, it means that income is being spread too thin. We're sharing poverty instead of prosperity. The increase must be substantial enough, after providing for healthy current consumption, to allow invest- ment for future growth, Inflation in Canada has been often tagged as a consequence of too rapid a growth. But it might be as true to say that inflation promotes growth. Growth requires 'investment. Investment -- that is, private investment--1looks forward to high financial returns. A limited degree of inflation offers such returns. Maybe the time has come for Mr. Fleming and the Bank of Canada to reconsider fiscal and monetary policy. Has non-inflation gone far enough? Or too far? v Other Editor's Views COMPACT PARKING (UK Industrial News) Parking lots can accommodate a third more cars than usual with a simple, robust system of movable, elec- tri-motor-driven platforms, developed in England. With the exception of the back row, one space is left on each of the movable platforms; these move sideways to leave a clear run, for the car being taken in or out. It is claimed that a car can be driven out of lot 30 seconds. the within CANT SEEM TO OUTRUN HIS SHADOW GALLUP POLL More Satisfied With Government Voter attitudes across the country tip the scales on the side of the Diefenbaker Govern- ment in measuring satisfaction with its performance. One in ten more voters is in the camp ex- pressing approval, than in the critical segment, but the halance of opinion is close Nationally, 45 per cent say they are satisfied with the Gov- ernment's record while 35 per cent are not In the Maritimes where there are still two out of three provinces with Conserva- tive Governments, approval is at the highest level in the country-- 62 per cent. In Quebec and the West Conservatives who are sat. isfied are slightly ahead in num bers, compared to thoss who are not, leading by only 4 per cent, Following on its latest political round-up of voter attitudes which showed a drop of 6 per cent in Party favor for the Conservatives since May, the Gallup Poll is making a special study on what people. think about the Govern- ent and its future. Today's question, put to a cross-section of adults in every province was this: "Generally speaking have you been satisfied or dissatisfied with the record of the Diefenhaker Government?" Columns below compare the national average of votar opinion with regional attitudes Satisfied Dissatisfied No Opinion 45% 35% 20% Politically more than one- fourth of the electorate does not know how its vote would go if a Federal election were held to- day.

World Copyright Reserved LETTERS TO EDITOR Recalls Steamer South America Editor Many have read lately of the steamer North America on a sandbar in the St. Lawrence River. This lovely vessel and her sis- ter ship South America are exact twins and were built for service from Buffalo to Duluth via Chica- go, calling at Owen Sound each trip for Canadian passengers. They were the finest cruise ships ever to travel the great lakes, and still are. They are painted white instead of traditional black, had two fun- nels and four decks above water. These boats carried girls to wait on table instead of the usual waiters of other lines. There were 45 waitresses on each boat, and the service and food was excellent as the finest hotels. There was a fine orchestra on board which supplied music at meal times and for concerts at night. C. A. Toaze, now the care- taker of Simcoe Stdeet United Church, was head waiter of Ca- nadian Pacific ship Manitoba the season previous, signed on as linen king, being in charge of table linen. A table cloth would be back on a table clean again in 45 minutes from being soiled. Mr. Toaze also organized a male quartet, which sang in evenings on the large deck or when weath- er was bad, inside the concert room. PITCHER TO BISONS BUFFALO (AP)--Philadelphia Phillies have assigned Al Neiger, 21, a lefthander, to Buffalo Bi- sons of the International League. Neiger was with Williamsport of the Eastern League where he had a 83 record. WAS FAMED CATCHER WILMINGTON, Del. (AP)-Bill Killefer, famed major league catcher of yesteryear, died Sat urday night aged 72. Killefer was part of the famous Philadelphia Phillies battery with the late Grover Cleveland Alexander when the Phils won their first National League pennant in 1915. Their sale to Chicago Cubs for $60,000 in 1917 made headlines. Killefer later managed the Cubs and the old St. Louis Browns. T hese beautiful ships were made also to obtain a speed of 17 knots, which is good for lake vessels. A trip on_either one of the famous twins is one never to be forgotten. "A FRIEND" BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO The Young People's Council of tne United Church of Canada met at Ontario Ladies' College, Whithy, with 170 delegates from all parts of Canada. Mrs. Robert Wallace cele- brated her 86th birthday at the home of her son, Charles Wal- lace, Athol St. E, Four playgrounds were official ly opened for the summer, under the direction of the Oshawa Su- pervised Playground Association. Hazel DeGuerre, Oshawa, was elected as one of the officers of the national executive of the Young People's Council During June there had been 594 cases of measles in Oshawa, 35 cases of mumps, 27 cases of whooping cough, four cases of scarlet fever and one case of diphtheria, according to a report given by Dr. T. W. G. MacKay, medical health officer. Dr. R. L. McTavish and Mrs. McTavish were honored by the King St. United Church congre- gation on their departure for Hamilton, where Dr. McTavish had accepted a charge there. Rev. R. J. McCormick was in- ducted as pastor of King St. Unit- ed Church 0. Alger, skip, Roy McIntosh, Ernie Parsons and Dave Brown, Oshawa lawn bowlers and mem- hers of the Rotary Club, won the Mel Hutchinson memorial {ro- phy at the 28th District of Rotary international sports event at To- ronto. Ray Hobbs, Oshawa fireman, was chosen to head the Federa- tion of Ontario Firefighters, at St. Thomas convention. St. Gregory's - school junior softhall team won the champion. ship trophy of the city schools. QUEEN'S PARK Report On Daley ._Pleases Premier By DON O"HEARN TORONTO Premier Frost didn't try and conceal his happi- ness at the clean slate given La- bor Minister Charles Daley by the Macdonnell Royal Commission. Judge Macdonnell's report found "nothing dishonest, dis- honorable or careless in the con- duct of Mr. Daley." And Mr. Frost found in these words reasons for strong satisfac- tion : PERSGNALLY PLEASED Mr. Daley's vindication, he said "should be"and will be the sub- ject qf congratulations on the part of all right thinking citizens who happily are nearly all of the people of our province." And beyond this he took direct personal satisfaction, 'Perhaps,' he said, "I can express pardon- able personal pride in the result because it is the way in which I want our work to be considered. The efforts of my colleagues and myself have been directed to good government in every sense and that is the way I want it to be, and I can assure the people of Ontario it will be." ATTACKS OPPOSITION These were strong words for the premier But he had even stronger ones for the opposition. In fact he had practically no mercy for it and directly accused it of playing politics. The royal commission had been ordered, he said, becanse "it was patently clear that certain mem bers were prepared to place po- [ i the | from a random poll of Manhat- litical considerations above ele- mentary justice." And further, he said the duties of a member went beyond 'party advances" and the fact a man was a political figure should not mean he should be the target for "allegations, imputations and in- nuendoes, questioning fundamen- tals of integrity and decency which all people hold déar." NOTHING NEW Surely what must have been one of the most curious commis- sion inquiries .in our history for practical purposes would now seem to be dead and buried. There was considerable ques- tion whether it should have been appointed in the first place. A standing committee of the House had investigated the ques- tion of Mr. Daley's farm pur- chases. And it was quite evident that little new evidence could be presented to a further investiga. tion, The opposition did hope to um- cover that the labor minister had used parks commission help in cutting his grass But aside from the ftriviality of this it was something that prob- ably could have been dealt with in the House. In appointing the royal eom- missioner Mr. Frost could be al- most positive he would bring down nothing but a vindication. And out of it he now has a document which will be valuable to him politically. OTTAWA REPORT Canadian Company Under U.S. Control By PATnICK NICHOLSON OTT. -- At a n our history when AL2 pres i» bur ism is blooming in all fields, widespread regret is felt here when one of our fine old busines- This has just happened to Tor- onto's "Excelsior Life Insurance Company." United States inter- ests have purchased control of Excelsior from its president, Gen- eral Bruce Matthews--who is also president of the National Liberal Federation--and from members of his family, in a deal involving $5,250,000. The Excelsior Life Insurance Company was formed in 1889 under the laws of the province of Ontario. The company was thus not bound by the provisions of the Act which the Diefenbaker gov- pg ernment asked Parliament to pass soon after it assumed office, Each new advance towards control of Canada's economy by foreign investors increases the uneasiness felt in Canada. Worse, it increases the obvious danger to our future economic security. But investment here in the forms of bonds, which we are able to pay off and which do not carry control, we of course welcome, It was thus, through bonds, but not through controlling equity, that the young U.S.A. enlisted foreign financial aid in her own early de- velopment, KEEP CANADA CANADIAN o'Excelsiors" deal again at keeping Cana nce companies Ca- 4 aimed at keep insur- ance companies Canadian. Our federal parliament of course has jurisdiction only over companies operating under a federal charter not over those with provincial charters. MANY CANADIAN CLIENTS The latest statement by Excel sior shows that its life insurance in force at the end of 1958 was the huge total of $461,645781. This total has subsequently risen to $574,000,000 according to mar- ket reports. Of that earlier fig- ure, all but an insignificant amount of under $2,000,000 repre- Should it not enact that shares in Canadian companies should always be offered to Ca- madians as well as to aliens, giv- ding Canadians the prior option if they are willing to offer the same price as a foreigner? Should not our government ensure that our natural resources are developed for Canada's benefit, by insisting that Canadians should be offered at least 55 per cent Canadian con- tent in domestic shareholders' lists, just as in our domestic TV entertainment? The history of the investment in fiat solid old Canadian com- pany, Excelsi has been profit- sented the savings and prud of Canadians. Their economic se- curity had been entrusted to this solid Canadian company on the basis of its past record of ad- ministration; that security now lies in the hands of the U.S. in- vestors to whom control has been sold and who, even if they im- prove the management, may at some time face a conflict of in- terests across an international border. Examples are often noted here of foreign owners compelling a Canadian company to operate other than in the best interests of Canada and Canadians. Under alien control, not motivated by Canada's interests primarily, there are now ut half of our big manufacturers and three- quarters of our petroleum devel opment. able enough to 'make any Cana- dian's mouth water with envy, and to persuade us to save a little more from our fat pay packets to be tucked away in the shares of tried and trusted Canadian busi- nesses. There are 25,000 shares in Ex- celsior, each of a par value of $10. Original shareholders paid up only $3 on each such share; the balance was paid up by the com- pany out of profits over the years, as a bonus. Recent dividends have been 54 per cent on the in- itial investment. Those $10 shares for which the first holders paid only $3 each, recently sold on the Toronto Stock Exchange for $165; the new U.S. owners offered $309 each. That surely was an invest. ment attractive enough for any Canadian. Junior Executives Post-War Phenomenon NE WYORK (AP)--The mys- tery man of today's business world is '"'the junior executive." Who is he? What is he? Where is he? The junior executive appears to be a post - war phenomenon. Now, it seems, he has become the second lieutenant of industry. He is fresh from the ranks but still far, far from the command post. In the insurance and clothing ads it is easy to tell the junior executive. . He is young and eager and has his cordovan slip-on loafers firmly planted on the ladder of success. He has an air of studied neat- ness, His hat is two sizes too small for him, his suit looks as if it had been shrunk to fit him. His tie is as slim as his wallet. Both his chin and shoulders are as square as he is, He lives in a small white house with a small white mortgage, a neat blonde wife, and two neat child. ren--a pretty blonde daughter, and a mischievous freckle-faced son. A bright - eyed mongrel puppy--even the junior executive has a common touch--romps on the neat green lawn, guiltless of crabgrass. In the ads there is no doubt about who or what or where the junior executive is. He is the young fellow on his way up. He is preparing for the time when he will be a top senior executive and make the big decisions him- self. But in real life the picture isn't clear at all. The question "What is a junior executive?" is about as puzzling as the older business mystery, "Just what does a vice- president do?" Here are a few definitions of junior executive, gleaned tan office employees: "That's what the mail elerk } calls himself on weekends." "A junior executive ig what a guy tells his mother-in-law he is to explain why he doesn't make more than $85 a week." "He's the fellow who buys a $15 attache case to carry his lunch in." "In our office he's the joker who married the boss's niece. He'd be a vice-president except the boss has two sons and a son- in-law." Anybody under 35 too proud to belong to a union and too poor to, Jsiong to a cuntry club." PR'3AGRAPHICAL WISDOM I yoor answers are as crazy psychiatrist's questions, "There is no fun lke work," declares the business man. Yes, we kncmv. That's why we like fun much 'petter than we like work, "Aves; raw oysters healthy?" some 'one asks, All we know is that. we've never heard a raw oyster complain of feeling bad. The saying, "What you don't know 'foesn't hurt you", doesn't apply to hidden taxes that eat away our incomes. Judging from his recent tan- trmrgs, Khrushchev should be a - pupif. Alkhough it seems logical to as- sumne that as many men as wap pen marry in June, no one ew!r refers to June as "the mensth of bridegrooms". A, person is rather untidy who utes a fried egg as a book-mark.
