[ The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E,, Oshawa, Ont, Poge 6 Thursday, November 24, 1960 Heavy Program Outlined To Ontario Legislature The Ontario legislature faces a solid program of legislation, judging by the speech from the throne, Key to the Frost government's thinking is this passage from the speech: "Although there has been an increase of 50,000 jobs this year -- which corres. ponds to the average increase of recent years ~~ the expansion of our industry, particularly our secondary industry, has not kept pace with the growth of our work force , , . We are operating in a world which is becoming increasingly competitive, For a province that lives on trade there can be only one solution; we must increases the sale of our goods at home and abroad, In order to do this we must be able to compete with the producers in other lands," To strengthen the government's role in this "must" program, the Department of Economics is to be strengthened, a new Department of Commerce and Development created from the present Department of Planning and Develop- ment, a products research division or- ganized, and a market development branch added to the Department of Agri- culture, Meanwhile, the government will try to give employment a boost with an enlarged program of public works, Much of what was suggested in the throne speech will mean heavier spends ing by the government. Mr, Frost's awareness of this is indicated by the reference to "seeking new arrangements with which to replace the existing tax sharing arrangements following their ex» piry on March 31,1962" The Ontario governmen, quite rightly, wants a bigger share and "will continue to press for the just recognition of Ontario's rights and responsibilities," It is pointed out that "our financial problems in the fields of these direct taxes in question stem from the concentration in the federal govern. ment of powers under wartime condi- tions and the unsound conception of cen- tralization which emerged from the con- ference of 1945." But Mr, Frost has also given broad hints about an Ontario sales tax. We doubt strongly that the boosting of the tax load is the way to improve this province's competitive position, Motes In The Eves The Ontario throne speech noted that "during the coming year the Ontario Anti. Discrimination Commission will continue to undertake an active educa- tional program reaching into communi- ties in all parts of the province ,,, The objective will be to continue to acquaint our people with the aims of the pro- vince's human rights legislation and to win adherence to the principle that every person is free and equal in dignity and rights regardless of race, creed or color." That such an effort is needed cannot be denied. We do not have riots in this province, as they do in places like New Orleans and Little Rock, but that does not mean that we do not have racial dis. crimination. On the contrary, we have quite a lot of it = in Oshawa as in every other community in Ontario, That is why far too many of us are hypocritical when we condemn racial discrimination in Arkansas or Louisiana or elsewhere, We are placing ourselves in the position of, say, the Hindus, who savagely attack the policies of South Africa but themselves continue to prac- tise discrimination of the most brutal sort in the caste system, In the Indian parliament recently the annual report of the commissioner for scheduled castes and tribes showed that in spite of law which ten years ago made untouchability illegal and barred caste discrimination, the problem has hardly been touched. here are an estimated 55,000,000 un- touchables in India. They are those below the four upper levels of Hindu castes, They do the lowliest work that has to be done, For some time the un. touchables had strong men speaking for them. Gandhi, who called them Harijans, or children of God, spoke out for them while he lived, Then, until his death in 1954, they had a strong leader in B, R, Ambedkar, who induced many untouche ables to escape their caste by becoming Buddhists, The government set up financial aid program for the untouchables, But they reach too few people and reach those they do wastefully and inefficiently, Those who become Buddhists are no longer eligible for aid, so that road to escape is unattractive to many, Meanwhile there is little enforcement of laws against discrimination, And most untouchables are discriminated against, Sharokh Sabavala, writing in the Chrise tian Science Monitor, tells of recently visiting a village just 20 miles from Delhi, There the writer saw "flagrant examples of discrimination, with its une touchable population segregated, forced to live in the most tumbledown huts, and even deprived of the use of the communal well" Five Days On The Farm Farmers in this province will probably be intrigued by the advice given an Ontario Federation of Agriculture panel that the five-day week is in prospect for them, The word was that the five-day week for farmers was not only possible but was coming before too long. The Ottawa Citizen comments; The thing about this prediction that may baffle Ontario farmers is how come the five-day week is on the way when the six-day week has not yet replaced the seven-day week, Of course there are exceptions among the farmers, specialists who can set their working hours to suit themselves, But on the generality of family-type farms The Osharoe Times T. & WILSON, Publisher and Generel Manager €, GWYN KINSEY.

Average Daily Net Paid os of April 30, 1960 16,999 in Ontario the animals set up the work- ing schedule and they have an old fashioned liking for the seven-day week, With hired help and modern ma- chinery the farmer can reduce his works ing hours but so far these aids haven't enabled to take Saturdays and Sundays off. Animals have to be fed and looked after, especially in winter months when they cannot graze outside, In particular, if a farmer is milking cows, he's tied firmly to at least some work on every day of the week, him The Ontario farmer doubtless would be curious as to how this five-day week is to come about, Of course, he has heard the rumor that western farmers, wheat- growers, that is, are so progressive that they spend the winters in Florida, But he does not see how the average farmer in this province can get himself union hours, : It may be that the answer lies in extensive automation on the far front, The farmer of tomorrow perhaps will have an electric brain to run his acreage for him, And, there is also the possibility that vertical integration will take such a hold on the province that the farmer in truth will become a union worker, In the interim, waiting to see what the future holds for him, the Ontario farmer can only go along with his elon- gated work week, taking some satisfac tion in that he is not roubled by that modern boredom brought on by a surfeit of leisure, Bible Thought Ask and it shall be given unto you. Matthew 7:7, Here is the secret of abundance, the open sesame of faith--pray, affliction - excessive CHECKING THE FREE RIDES OTTAWA REPORT Claims Canadians More Nationalistic By PATRICK NICHOLSON There is an immense surge nationalistic feeling rising most parts of Canada, This is essentially a mental flexing of our muscles, but it is distress. ingly and wrongly often ex- pressed as "anti-Americanism," It has risen to the surface and exploded with an unexpected forcefulness in connection with the hearings of the Royal Com- mission on Publications On the very first day when that young Commission heard publie representations, this "'anti-Amer- feanism" flared into newspaper headlines right across Canada, The UBS, government, it was argued before this commission, offers U.8, publishers an es. pecially low postal rate to Ca nadian addresses, as an induce. ment to make them increase the circulation of their magazines and other periodicals in Canada, One brief submitted to the com. mission charged this "Hon, Arthur E, Summerfield, Postmaster General of the U.8.A, made no secret of the fact that these low postal rates were set REPORT FROM U.K. Trade Fair Bid For Soviet Sales By M, McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- British manufae- turers are laying their. plans to make a bold bid for increased ex ports to the Soviet Union, The trade fair to be held by Britain in Moscow In May of next year will be the biggest event of its kind ever held in Russia, The fair will cover an area of one million square feet in the Sokolniki Park At least one million Russian visitors are expected, and it is hoped they will be interested in placing large orders for British goods which will be exhibited The British Trade Fair in Mos- cow will follow soon after Ameri can, Japanese and Czech exhibi- tions, But it will occupy nearly as much space as the other three exhibitions put together, GOVERNMENT SUPPORT Reginald Maudling, president of the Board of Trade, discussing the plans for this mammoth trade fair, stressed that the government is supporting it as a method of building up exports to Russia, But it is not subsidizing the fair in any way, except through an ex- hibit which is being planned by his department, The sponsors are the Associa tion of British Chambers of Com. merce. It has invited other lead. ing British companies to exhibit The interest in it is shown by the fact that altogether 621 firms have signified their intention to take part in the fair, FASHIONS FEATURED Several unusual and striking features are being planned at the fair, Twice daily during the 17 days for which it will be open, there will be fashion parades. These will be held in the city centre of Moscow, and will fea. ture men's as well as women's clothes, The British nuclear power pro gram will be shown in the ex- hibit being organized by the Board of Trade, It will include other aspects of British develop. ments: hovercraft, man-made fi- bres, medical research and Bri- tain's role in space research In the fashion parade, the Rus. slans will see British clothes shown by a team of eight slim British girls, They will be part of an army of 2000 British people to be frown to Moscow, including building workers, stand fitters CLIMBING ATTEMPTS KATMANDU, Nepal (Reuters) Mountaineering expeditions from Britain, France, the United States, Japan and India are ex- pected to climb various Hima- layan peaks during 1981, The Nepalese government has given permission to an American team te attempt Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain, next pring. and salesmen, British European Airways is working now on plans for a major airlift GOODS FROM SCOTLAND Scottish export firms are tak. ing a special interest in the Mos- cow Fair, and will be well re. presenied In the 621 firms tak. ing part, Machine tools from Glasgow, woollens from Hawick, tweeds from the Highlands and the Hebrides will be among the Scottish products which will have a prominent place in the displays, A companion fair, at which Russian goods will be displayed to the British publie, will be held al Earlscourt a month later The Moscow Fair will mark the occasion of the first London-Mos- cow television link-up ever achieved, This prize in television has been bagged by the commer clal Independent television com panies QUEEN'S PARK deliberately to encourage the dis- semination of the American view- point, In announcing the new rates, he stated officially that postal rates to foreign countries have heen considerably modified in view of the desire of Ameri. cans to encourage their influence abroad, By this move, we will en- courage the spread of American ideals, culture and facts abroad." NOT AIMED AT CANADA It is a fact that the publisher of a US, magazine ean mail his produet to subseribers in Canada at a cost lower than that charged for mailing it to subscribers in most parts of his own country, But this does not represent de- liberate Washington policy to swamp us with their merchandise social habits and national atti tudes, We merely feel the sider swipe of what was in fact a gov. ernment attempt to propagandize Latin American countries However, a diplomatic govern- ment with a sensitive approach to its neighbors might have counted Canada out of that subsidized in- vasion of the minds of disparaged backward nations, The great wave of Canadian nationalism, the insistence that we shall not merely be skippers of our own ship of state, but in. i deed shall design that ship to our own tastes and convenience, is Inevitably popping up all the time in the hearings of this royal com- mission, It is no coincidence that the same theme Io being heard at the same time by quite un. related speakers in many other places, GOLDEN HYPNOSIS The flood of dollars from south of the border has left us en. riched, smothered but not be wildered, Speakers tell us every day that we are now enslaved by the riches which at first hypno- tised us into acquiescence, Fifty six per cent of our factories, 76 per cent of our oilfields, and 61 per cent of our mines are con- trolled by foreigners, mostly from the U.S, Such is the mood of Canadians as noted in visitors to this capital that one can safely make one interesting prediction, Whichever political party adopts the most appealing "Canada First" policy meaning in effect "Antl-Amer- ieansflood policy" will win the next federal election in a canter, Battle Expected On Fluoridation By DON O'HEARN TORONTO --- Overlooked in much of the advance speculation or business of the session was fluoridation, The question could be one of the hot issues, This might not be the case so much in the House, It is to be expected that the government will continue to keep to its position of not permitting mass fluoridating. This will cause some versy in the House, There are a few ardent pro- fluoridaters among the members, But outside it will cause a real commotion Those communities that are in favor, and particularly the sec- tions of the press in these who have backed, and even pro moted, fluoridating are very very aggressively in favor, By taking the stand they did in the first place they showed they weren't too alive to ethical considerations, It is not to be expected they will be any more careful about the ethics of the wallops they take at the govern. ment, Which indicates a hot "tifpe, be a main government a man in the debates, GROSSMAN DEFENDER? And the man expected to be in most of it is Hon, Allan Gross. man, the new minister without portfolio, Mr, Grossman has been the number one opponent of fluorida tion in the House In bringing him into the cab inet, the fact he was an expert on the question must have been contros at least partly on Premier Frost's mind, And he will almost certainly UNIVERSITY COMMITTEE The government does not plan to regiment universities, There may be some accusation that it does intend to, however, ac a result of the establishment of its new 'university commit. tee." The committee, headed hy Minister of Education, Hon, John Robarts, has been given scope wide enough to do practically anything according to the initial announcement, However there is little likeli hood it will be interfering with He scholastic end of university ife, CONTROL GROWTH There is some chance, however that it will be "regimenting" the building of universities One suspects this is the prin. ciple purpose in forming it, For there is a call for some such control University enrolment has doubled in the past 10 years, It will deuble again in the next 10 and quadruple by 1980, The provincial government must pay more and more of the cost of this Present grants at nearly $30, 000,000 are 11 times what they were 15 years ago, With this kind of money in. volved, and with much, much more needed in the future there must be efficient spending. And this means some control and co. ordination, + + glmost INSIDE YOU Disease Destroys Nerve Insulation By BURTON H. FERN, MD WHAT IS multiple sclerosis? Can it be helped?

He wasn't kidding For the last 35 of his 49 years fn government service, Mr, Car- bonneau, 71, has been working on & voluminous French and English dictionary devoted principally to political and administrative terms in preparing the manuscript, covering some 2,700 pages, he has consulted no less than B00 authors and hopes that the result will be a first-class working in strument for the professional translator, Already it is being copied in part for various trans. lation services of the federal ad- ministration He would like to see the gov. ernment adopt his dictionary as official, Appearing in the dictionary are all administrative terms in use in Canadas, legal and leg- islative terms, and expressions current at the United Nations It offers translations of current expressions that generally lend themselves to confusion, For ex ample, it says budget estim- ates" should never be translated as "estimes" hut as 'le budget des depenses; previsions budget aires," "Government House frequently translated as "L'Hotel du Gouvernement," should be "La Residence du Gouverneur General." Mr, Carbonneau, enjoying good health, retired in October He was to have retired six years ago but kept his post at the request of his superiors He entered the government service in 1911 with the division of tax statistics and worked oe. casionally in the bureau of trans. lators, In 1922 he became a full. time translator with the customs and excise branch of the depart- ment of national revenue He was promoted to chief of the House of Commons transla. ervice in 1930, on selvi always been interested in linguistics," Mr, Carbonneau says, He has often carried out fengthy research Into various texts and collections to discover what old dialectical forms still live in the language of French Canada, Putting in more than 30 years' work on this "sideline" too, he has heen able to build up on filing cards a collection of 16,000 such forms Yet another dictionary which he has prepared is one dealing with "Acadianisms," That brings him pretty close to home, He was born in the Magdalen Islands, a centre of Acadian life, He is also the author of an un. published novel, Gabriel et Gene. vieve, which deals with Acadian mores and customs, He hopes it will see print soon, The first chapter he entered In a competition several years ago sponsored by the Cercle National BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO A campaign headed by W, M Gilbert was launched to raise $15,000 for the Oshawa Associated Welfare Societies, It closed with a total of $27,000 Robert Jeffery, lifelong resis dent of Jeffery homestead, Whit. by, died at the age of 89 years, Work was started on the erec- tion of the Coulter Manufacturing Co, factory building on the city industrial site, Simcoe street south, Albert E.

Mr, Carbonnesn has written a number of short stories and es- éays for various Canadian French-language publications On the subject of the French used in the ranks of the federal administration, Mr, Carbonneau makes this interesting observa- tion: "The language is not mis- treated os much as certain people would like to have it be- lieved," The rights of the French lan- guage are recognized, he says, but it would be 8 more desirable state of affairs If the key men in the different departments were all bilingual For the translators he leaves behind as he quits the govern ment service, he has some moral support to offer, These men, he says, whose work sometimes has to reach the level of the 'prodi- gious," are not paid well enough, He thinks that women are he- coming more and more interested in translation and they adapt themselves to this work "admir- ably well," Weakness, persiysis, numbness -- any trouble may explode, de pending on the cable's job, Other nerve diseases also melt this insulating cost, But esch ailment disrupts the cables se- cording to » set patiern, When insulation melts here and there and doesn't follow any set pet tern, the siiment is called multi ple sclerosis, BACK TO WORK Once is insulation hes dis solved, the nerve returns to work, But without a protective cost, fragile nerves eventuslly bresk down completely, Now the old trouble relurns, Graduglly, more and more nerves lose their insulation break down, The vietim may stagger like a sallor without ses legs, talk as if he were out of bresth and write with a ehildish serawl, When MS aitacks the automatic nerves, his eyes tear while sweat glands work over time, Anything may happens, BOMETIMES RECOVERS New insulation may cost ex- posed nerves, Occasionally, a patient gains strength, recovers and walks off, leaving his red. faced doctor to ponder * { 10d MS may be merely 8 nervous system fever brought on by sev eral different ailments, The fever, 98.6 degrees, An MS patient at 97.1 degrees may seem well -- until his tem- rature drifts back up.

Dr, Fern's mailbox Is wide open for letters from readers, While he cannot undertake to answer individual letters, he will use readers' questions In his column whenever possible and when they are of general inters est, Address your letters to Dr, Fern in care of this newspaper, New Political Body Now Being Proposed For U.K. LONDON (CP) proposed for Britain, The idea Is outlined In a pamphlet which argues that in all advanced countries people's interests are switching toward consumption and away from pro- duction, Politics is becoming less the politics of production and more the polities of consumption, Shorter working hours, greater mechanization of labor and higher standards of living are eausing this change in "social gravity," says author Michael Young, The class based on production is give ing way to a class based on consumption, The pamphlet, echoing the title of a wartime poem about embat- tled Britain, is The Chipped White Cups of Dover, Author Young is the founder of a number of in. stitutions, including the Consum- ers' Association and the advisory centre for education, CHANGED WAGE SCALE 'Men used to keep a substan- tial' part of their earnings to themselves to spend on drink, tobaceo, pools and sports," says Young, who describes himself a; a life-long labor supporter, "But as earnings have in creased , , , they have become far more generous with house- keeping allowances to their wives and have taken responsibility for instalment payments on tele. vision sets and the kind of dur- able goods which used to be the wife's affair "What all these changes add up to is that men whose interests used to be concentrated on their work and shared with other men now are back in the family; and at home men are not men but husbands," People are beginning to think of themselves as consumers first and only secondly as workers as a smaller proportion of their time is spent on production, This change in the "foundation of pol. ities" eries for a reforming party which would appeal 'to this new consumer interest," WANTS APPRAISAL There are two paramount polit. leal needs today, says Young, for a consumer appraisal at home and for an approach to world government abroad--and neither of these needs is being satisfied by the existing parties, Feonomie union with Europe and an attack on the monopolies and restrictive practices in Brit ain would be one great step fore ward, This would benefit the An entirely new political party, aimed at the man who pays the shot, has been consumer because of competition, Enforcement of food hygiene regulations, adds Young, would stop "our cafes, restaurants and butcher's shops giving us a de. served reputation as the dirtiest rich country in the world," A reform movement must sus. tain attempts to raise the low rate of increase in industrial production, to correct the balance in the lopsided educational sys- tem--which, Young says, vides an excellent education for the few and an inferior one for the many~and stop the decay of the cities and the mounting chaos on the roads, The Conservative government "is obviously not a candidate' to introduce the new reforms, It is not only tied to producer inter ests but it also is "saddled with the most old-fashioned attitudes to taxation and to social change, The Labor party is linked to a producer interest -- through its close association with the trade union movement -~ even more openly than the Conservatives, Young argues, It is no longer the undisputed party of reform and must reform itself before it can reform society, The Liberals = "their greatest days were 50 long ago" have not had a distinctive constructive program since they last enjoyed power, A new party should do better than the Liberals as a third party, says Young, and 'would at the very least be a great danger" to the Labor party, greater 143 King §, 24 Hrs, 0 Do (PROP) , 4 + N, RICHARDS TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY Goby TRAIN and SAVE!
