Fie Oshavon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Wednesday, July 27, 1960 Information Needed On Emigration To States Canadian immigration authorities com- pile voluminous statistics on the people who come to Canada but have no in- formation at all about the people who leave Canada to live in other countries. We know something about the Canadians who move to the United States, but that is only because U.S. authorities supply us with the information. This newspaper has long contended that it is at least as important to know about the departures as the arrivals. Suppose 5000 engineers from other countries come to Canada in one year; that looks like a fine and valuable ad- dition to the Canadian population. But suppose that 5001 engineers in the same year leave Canada for homes and jobs in other lands; that would leave us with one less engineer than before, and worse, we would not realize it because we didn't know about the departures. U.S. figures indicate that the flow of people from Canada to the United States is again increasing, after a slight decline in 1958-59. For all of Canada, 1960-61 could show a 50 per cent in- crease over last year's 34,600 -- and two out of every three leaving the Interregnum One of the weaknesses of the U.S. system of government is the unavoidable interregnum between the stepping down of one president and the effective as- sumption of power by his successor. When this hiatus is extended by a presi- dent who starts loosening his grip on the reins of government even before the candidates for his office are named, the situation becomes dangerous indeed. And that is precisely what Mr. Eisen- hower has been doing since his return from his ill-fated Pacific trip. He has been spending almost as much time golfing and fishing as attending to the nation's business. That may be one of the reasons for recent Russian aggressiveness. Khrush- chev may well believe that there is a vacuum in U.S. leadership--and that is not just the business of the United States but of the whole free world. Marguerite Higgins, top Washington correspondent of the zealously Republi- can New York newspaper, the Herald- Tribune, recently had this to say: "Despite all the campaign oratory out of the Democratic national convention, the worry here is not that the "ship of state is adrift." Quite the contrary (but just as bad), the impression is that the governmental machine has been duly Anatomy Of Safety is a personal thing. The very simplicity of this fact makes it necessary to repeat it often. Most accidents are caused by ignorance, carelessness, self- ishness or impatience, and all these accidents can be prevented. These two sentences are the opening comments in a treatise on safety pub- lished in the Monthly Letter of the Royal Bank of Canada. Gathered in one essay is a valuable list of suggestions on safety and accident prevention. The section dealing with the safety of children is a good example of the type of material in the article. "In our way of life," says the writer, #g child's world should be a place of comfort, love and happy security, a good place to live in. "It is a fact, shown by statistics, that we are saving children from small pox, praumonia, scarlet fever and other epid- The Osha Sines 9. L. WILSON, Publisher end Gencral Manoger €.

Why are they leaving? A Washington report gives some clues: "Most of those coming from Canada are professional people, especially engineers, draftsmen, nurses and teachers." It estimates that 5,150 of last year's migrants from Can- ada were in those categories. The Vancouver Sun pointedly asks: "Who were the 6000 individuals who left British Columbia in the past year to make their homes in the United States? Who were the 25,000 who left Canada permanently in the past six months, all headed in the same direc- tion? + + «+ Who's leaving and why, are questions that should interest national and provincial governments, industry, universities, the entire economy." Canada cannot afford to have a slow leak of this sort. Canadian schools can- not afford to train highly skilled people for the United States. Our economy cannot afford it. We should find out what is needed to stop the leak, and a good start would be for the immigra- tion department to compile information on emigration as well as immigration. In US. cranked up, pointed on a predetermined course, but that the pilot simply will not stay put at the controls. Granted that an automatic pilot can sometimes keep the ship steadier than the human hand, even the miracles of science have not yet given machines the power of emergency decision -- a decision, for instance, to swerve to avoid a collision course." Miss Higgins quotes a ranking Latin American diplomat as follows: "Mr. Khrushchev threatens you for the first time directly with a missile attack( in connection with Cuba). And where is your president? He is fishing--and more important, he keeps on fishing and so it takes your government a whole day to reply -- through a press secretary. And you expect Latin America to feel a sense of urgency!" Khrushchev has talked about "the immobilization of the American presi- dency." The problem, as Miss Higgins quotes another top diplomat, "is to make sure that Khrushchev's contemptuous assumption is refuted by deed, by ap- pearance, by alertness. There is no rule to say that policy must be immobilized in an election year and in fact the rule of survival is to make sure that it is not --and that Mr. Khrushchev knows it." Accidents emic diseases that used to ravage them, only to lose too many of them through accidents. "It is a tragic irony that accidents, largely amendable to control, outrank by a wide margin every other cause of death among young children. "Christian Smith, director of health education in Saskatchewan, says: "In the ten years from 1947 to 1956, almost 20,000 Canadian children lost their lives in accidents. Conservatively, we estimate that 1,500,000 children were injured in non-fatal accidents. The yearly toll of children's lives runs close to 2,000." "Besides the family sorrow that loss of these lives causes, it is a national calamity, Today's child, whether in the city or in the country, is surrounded by lethal weapons, and we cannot escape the charge that four-fifths of all accidents to children under five years of age are due to errors of ommission or com- mission by adults, During the baby's first year, outright protection is the only course to follow, but education against accidents should begin just as early as possible, and should progress year by year. When the child reaches school age he must be safety-minded enough to take care of himself in a world that can be very dangerous.

EAST AIR CONDITIONED FOR YOUR COMFORT RA 3-3273 REPORT FROM U.K. Athletes Prepare For Stamina Test By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspndent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Three young ath- letes from the town of Luton, in Bedfordshire, are making prep- arations for an unusual test ot speed and endurance. Their aim is to run up and down the three highest mountains in the Unitea Kingdom in 16% hours. The key to the extent of this test of stam- ina is that these three moun- trins are located in Scotland, England and Wales, a long dis- ance apart To complete this test of stam- ina, they must run up Ben Nev- is, 4406 feet high, dash 270 miles by automobile to Scafell Pike, 3210 feet high, in the lake dis- trict of the north of Encland, then drive a further 190 miles to Wales, run up Snowdon, 3400 feet high and down again. They have already made one attempt, but it failed when they were nearing the summit of Scafell Pike because of appalling weather conditions. The cloud ceiling was 1000 feet, and when the climb was abandoned, visibil- ity was only 12 feet. LFADER DROPS OUT On that occasion, there were four runners on the team. It was led by "ex-Commando Geoffrey Seabrook, 34, of Luton, He is a diabetic, and so has decided to drop out of the second attempt. Says Mr. Seabrook: "Doctors cannot seem to agree on the effect of diabetes on ex- treme fatigue, but on Scafell Pike I felt that I was hampering the others, ol was obvious I could not keep up with them, I have no doubt I could finish the course, but sheer physical limit- at'ons would prevent me finishing in the time we want to set up. I am determined, however, to help the others overcome the challenge, and will organize the next trip for them." NEEDS ORGANIZATION Careful organization and prep- oration are needed to ensure that not a minute of time is wasted on thie test. The attempt needs two cars, one for the team, and the other as a support vehi- cle. They must be driven at an average speed of close to 50 miles an hour, and four amateur rally drivers have volunteered for this joh. Special ration packs have been compiled by dietitians to give the runners maximum energy. The three young athletes will run from gea level at Ben Nevis, and will finish on sea level at Snowdon. As far as Mr, Seabrook has Leen able to discover, ft will be the first time a team has attempted the three peaks in this way The record for an individual runner, however, was set up in 1956 by Brian Kearney, an ath- lete from Fort William, Scot- land, who was clocked over the arduous course in 15 hours, 23 minutes. The tree runners, all of whom have had experience as competi. tors in the annual Ben Nevis race, are: Hugo Soper, 32, store keeper: Arthur Layton, 26, fac. tory paint shop worker, and Michael Boylen, 20, apprentice, al of Luton FOR BETTER HEALTH What To Eat And Drink When At Cocktail Party HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, Cocktail parties have become an accepted part of our civilized society. The problem, now, is to keep them civilized. 1 have given you some tips in the past about what drinks to stay away from. Martinis, as I have pointed out, will get most per- sons intoxicated faster than any other, alcoholic beverage. PARTY FEATURE Unfortunately, martinis are a feature of most cocktail parties. Mixed drinks made with 100 proof bourbon are also pretty potent. Then come wines and beer. Alcoholic content of most beer is about four per cent as compared with 50 per cent for high class bourbon. So let your conscience be your guide about the drink you select. HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS Dr. Ancel Keys gives several helpful suggestions in his book, "Eat Well and Stay Healthy", for those of you who frequently are called upon to attend cocktail parties. T have always advised that' you atute your highball with a good deal of soda or other mix. Dr. Keys goes farther and suggests that taking white wine and soda is a good way to control the in- take of alcohol. AN ENEMY The cocktail party, he cautions, is an enemy of good food and wise dining. Food flavors are dulled and there is usually a ten- dency to select fatty foods. Experienced cocktail party go- ers learn that their staying power can be improved by eat- ing fatty foods. Such foods slow the absorption of alcohol. The tendency, therefore is to consume too much fat and too much alcohol. Excesses of both are bad for your general health, t raw verv well Dr. Keys says that munching plain crackers with fish or a small bit of highly - flavored cheese is preferable to gorging yourself on sausage and cheese dips. And he adds: "Resist the temptation to ae company a hilarious group afters wards to a dinner of steak ana French fries." DRINKING WINE Incidentally, he also these suggestions for wine: Drink it fdon't sip) in gulps large enough to "chew". Nibble a little plain bread before you taste the wine. And don't smoke, or even inhale tobacco smoke from nearby smokers when drinking wine. It tends to spoil the flavor. QUESTIONS AND ANSWER J.C.: What is the cause of a low blood sugar count and is this a serious condition? Answer: Low. blood sugar is usually caused by an overproduc- tion of Insulin by the body. This is usually due to .glandula; disturbance but may also be caus- ed by a tumor or the pancreas or other glands. In some cases, it is a forerun- ner of diabetes. Some patients get "black-out" attacks from low blood sugar and these are dangerous. offers drinking Lindsay May Annex Ops Township Land LINDSAY (CP) -- The Ontario Municipal Board has ruled that Lindsay may annex 2,150 acres of land in neighboring Ops Town- shin The amount, revealed in a de- cision made public Monday. is half of what the town requested.
