She Oshawa Times Published by Conadion Newspopers Limited, 86 King 5t. E., Oshowe, Ont. Poge 6 Thursday, Naver ber 17, 1960 Less Wheat Production Key To Market Problem Give-away programs, modification of the cash-sale-only policy and extension of loans to needy countries to be used for purchases in Canada are some of the devices being talked about in Ottawa to reduce our wheat surplus, Even Wheat Board members are now suggesting thet prices will probably have to be lowered to obtain more wheat sales -- a sugges tion thet would have been regarded as rank heresy not so long ego. The Canadian government is paying out $40 million a year simply to store surplus grain, and that is only part of what over-production of wheat is costing the Canadian taxpayer, Even so, we have managed to bungle less badly than the United States, In a report this week the US, agriculture department said the government's investment in surpluses and price support loans would have to be increased by $400 million by next June "if nothing wes done about the situation," The American wheat carry» over would rise by an estimated 200 mil. lion bushels to a record 1,500 million bushels, President-elect Kennedy has proposed meeting this problem in the United States by increasing price supports to farmers but imposing stiffer federal con. trols over production to reduce surpluses and bring production into closer relation with consumer requirements, The farm states apparently do not think much of his proposal ~~ they plumped for Nixon in the recent election, But whatever is done, the US, surplus situation will continue to affect Canadian marketing for some time, The US. credit deals and giveaways make it just that much harder for Canada to sell wheat, particu. larly when Canada insists on hard cash, Canada's would seem to demand two things: & more flexible sales policy for wheat, and a lower pro- duction of wheat, at least until the wheat carry-over has been reduced to a reason able quantity, Canada is not so rich that it can contemlate giveaways on anys thing like the scale followed by the United States, The Canadian taxpayer is already overloaded, The first and most would be to induce western farmers to produce less wheat, There is a lot of marginal land now being used for grain production, It would be good conserva. tion as well as good economics to let it lie fallow for some years. situation obvious move Medical Research Body Establishment of a Medical Research Council to expand the federal govern role medical research is a ment's in welcome move, The 15-member council has been set up as an interim measure pending future consideration by the gov- ernment of appropriate legislation, but interim or not, it is a major step in the right direction, Members of the council read like a who's who of medicine in Canada, with Dr, R, F, Farquharson, professor emeritus of medicine at the University of Toronto, as chairman, and Dr, Joseph Auer, professor of anatomy and associate dean of medicine at the University of Ottawa, as secretary, The Canadian from Ottawa said: "The will function under the administration of the National Research Council, but will have virtually complete autonomy, It will take over the functions of the NRC divi. sion of medical research, which distris butes grants in aid and fellowships to stimulate medical research, It is expected that once the interim council has decided on the role a council' 'should play in medical research --- provided this has been approved by the govern. ment == legislation will be introduced Press new report council research in Parliament setting up the council as a separate entity," The council will spend about $2.3 million in the 1960-61 fiscal year in sup. port of medical research in universities and hospitals == a modest enough sum, The special committee which proposed the medical council recommended that federal spending on medical research be $45 million in the The be spent largely on new laboratories at at boosted to some next three to five years, money would universities and facilities hospitals, Another function might be considered fot the council; leadership in an effort the appeals for public funds being made by an increasing num. ber of associations organized to combat a variety of diseases, There is a multiplis city of such, appeals and the public cane not help but be confused and perhaps irritated by the claims and demands by the The various funds could well be close to the point of diminishing returns, and then worthy would suffer, Another criticism is that the public sup- port may be greatest not for the effort to solve the most critical health problem but for the effort supported by the most aggressive publicity campaign, teaching to coordinate being made promoters, many causes Sit-In's Explanation Why do young people "sit in" -- take part in the now most successful passive resistance tactic at the segregated lunch counters of the southern United States?

The closing of the tramear ser. vice in Sheffield is that riding in a street car will become a rarer experience than ever for most of of the inhabitants of the United Kingdom, There are now only two municipal tramway, or street rallway systems operating in the whole country, One of these is in Glasgow, and It Is due to close down in October of 1962, That will leave Blackpool, the Lane cashire seaside resort, as the only Rritish municipality with electric street cars running on its streets STARTED IN 180 The now defunct tramway sys tem in Sheffield was started in 1699, so that it has been in oper allon as an electric system for Just over 60 years, On the day when the last tramcars ran on the streets of the city, passens gers paid seven shillings and six. pence just over a dollar for the privilege of their last ride on them, Over 0 passengers paid that price to take part in the farewell ceremonies to the old electric cars, and received a bro chure commemorating the occa son, L Applications for places on these last electric cars came in from many parts of Britain, and about 100 people had to be diss appointed When the service was discon tinued, Sheffield had more than 40 electric cars left on its hands Three of these were turned over to the Tramway Museum Soclety toe be placed on exhibition for future generations of people who will never have ridden in one of them, The others, sald an oft ctal of the corporation are being sold for scrap BLACKPOOL DIFFERENT Because of its nature and cire cumstances, In Blackpool alone do eieotrio cars seem assured of a bright future, J, C. Franklin, general manager of the Blacks pool Corporation transport department, said that not only would Blackpool keep ils trams ways for the foreseeable future, but it was going ahead with plans to keep them up-to-date, "We are taking delivery of 10 new trailer cars, similar to the type used on the continent," he added The fown's 160 tramears were a4 great attraction to "Every year," said Mr, Franklin, "we get thousands of children who have never seen a tramcar, Our's are on a private track, and we could not move the mil lions of holidaymakers without them," visitors !
