For the student, although he spends en extra year on his course because of his shorter academic year, there is the obvious advantage of earning the money to pay a large part of his school costs, Also, by the time he gets his diploma he has had the practical ex- perience that he otherwise would have to acquire in a year or two as a junior employee, For the university -- which offers courses in chemical, civil, elec. trical and mechanical engineering and in engineering physics -- there is the advantage that teaching facilities are in use 12 months of the year, and that those facilities in effect operate ot two hundred per cent of capacity, As a result tuition costs are lower than for the traditional engineering course. Also the Waterloo Plan has proved its worth to industry, For example, the Pigott Construction Company has co- operated with the university since ine ception of the plan four years ago Student employees now are rotated among the company's three divisions in Hamilton, Toronto and Montreal, Based on their ability to maintain a good record on the job and a better than average academic standing, students are encouraged to return to the company's employ throughout their engineering course so that on graduation they are identified as permanent employees, are familiar not only with company policy but also with its full range of construce tion projects, And, starting from its pare ticipation in the Waterloo Plan, the com~ pany has recently gone on to a series of tours for engineering students at other universities to some of its major cons. truction projects, The success of the Waterloo Plan suggests that its broader application could bring benefits to many: to young people who need to find money for ad- vanced education; to overcrowded universities that need to make maximum use of their facilities; to industry that needs trained personnel; and to a na- tional economy that can grow only as it makes use of the country's human resources, Wheat And Imports In Ottawa to attend the government's export conference, J. L. Mutter, Cana- dian trade commissioner in Japan has added a significant comment to the con troversy on the question of whether Canada's wheat exports to Japan might suffer as a result of restrictions on Japan's exports of manufactured goods to Canada, At a press conference Mr, Mutter was asked about fears expressed here that Japan might reduce wheat purchases as a result of import quotas on textile goods, stainless steel flatware and some other products, His reply was that in Japan he had heard no serious talk of curbing purchases of Canadian wheat, "I think we've both got too much at stake," he went on, "to start retaliating against each other." The reduction of Canada's wheat surplus is such a pressing problem that it seems to have put the picture of our trade with Japan out of focus. Any suggestion that the rapidly expanded volume of imports from Japan has put workers in Canada out of their jobs is likely to be met by the counter. claim that simple arithmetic shows we are still ahead -- in 1959 Japan's pur- chases here totalled $140,000,000, while her sales here totalled only $103,000,000 ~- and that therefore we must bend over backwards not to prejudice this good market for Canadian wheat, But simple arithmetic can be mislead. ing and there are other factors to be weighed in the debate, Japan buys our wheat, and some industrial raw mater ials, because they are good products at a good price, In foreign trade no country seeks to establish an exact country-by- country trade balance and the fact that in 1959 we were on the long end of a 58-42 per cent trade split with Japan is no hardship on that country. And finally there is the point that the dollar figures are misleading to the extent that we trade in different commodities: Japan sells fully-manufactured goods with a high labor content and buys raw mater ials that do not compete with domestic producers; Canada sells bulk food pro- ducts and raw materials with a low labor content and buys fully -manufactured goods that compete with domestic pro- ducers, In the exchange Canada has the advantage in dollars, Japan the advan. tage in jobs, How Efficiency Pays The report of the Department of Bcientific and Industrial Research on British Shipbuilding shows that "there ain't no justice" No justice, that is, according to some modern concepts which hold that every industry and every man should be paid what is fair, equally with others irrespective' of class (or workmanship), of race (against time) and of productivity, the Christian Science Monitor remarks, It takes 19 months to build a ship in Britain that can be built in nine in Sweden and eight in Japan.

Fleming, Is to replace him, It , Fleming would Suggestions Heard By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA-The outburst of pub- lie controversy surrounding Mr, J. E, Coyne, the governor of the Bank of Canada, has Inevitably placed him at the top of the list of leading public figures specu. lated upon as due for a move, Mr, Coyne's seven-year ap- pointment has another year to run, If he is replaced by a new Governor, either then or earlier, this Is likely to herald a new concept of the function of our national central bank, Mr, Coyne has pointed out in forthright fashion in some recent speeches just exactly where he considers Canada has gone off the eco. nomic rails, We are living be- yond our means, and w eare relying too much on foreign bor. rowed money, he says, The Dief« enbaker government sub. stantially agrees with this--as any government of any other political party would likewise REPORT FROM UX. agree, But there has long ap- peared to be a conflict of per. sonalities and ideas between the bank and the government, This seems to be largely because the governor considers that his chief function Is to safeguard the cur- rency of Canada, while the gov. ernment evidently considers that the bank must opérate the mone. tary policy of the country as an integral part of the government's fiscal policy, Both are right: the governor is acting according to precedent, but the government presumably considers that circumstances have changed, Obviously, the government would be correct in subordinating the bank's policies to its own national policies under present situations. NEW GOVERNOR SOON? Talk of a replacement for Mr, Coyne has made the improbable suggestion that the minister of Canadian Offices ' tions and end : lead Under One Roof By M, McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Early In the new year, all of the offices of the Canadian government will be assembled under one roof, with the exception, of course, of the office of the High Commissioner, which will continue in its present location {n Canada House on Tra. falgar Square, This means a mas jor operation for the many Ca. nadian departments represented in London, They are all moving into the former United States Embassy building on Grosvenor Square, A magnificent States Embassy building has been completed on the same square, and had recently been occupled, The former embassy was advertised for sale by pub. lic tender, The Canadian govern. ment made a bid of just over $4,500,000, It was accepted and the big move is to take place within the next few weeks, Meanwhile, the various Canadian departments are making ready to occupy the new quarters, in which all of 'them have been alloted their space. VAST EXPANSION In keeping with the expansion of Canadian government activi ties in. London since Canada House was established on Trafal- gar Square in 1925, the various offices have also been expanded, There are at present 14 of them apart from Canada House, scat. tered around the central area of London, The Canadian Joint Staff Of fices are in a splendid old man. sion In Kensington, At 61 Green Street are the offices of the de- partments of immigration, labor and national health and welfare, The national revenue departs ment and the foreign trade serve jce are located at 2 Cockspur Street, Customs and excise of- fires are at 14 Pall Mall, The de- partment of veterans affairs has a large suite of offices at 13 Pall Mall, On Piccadilly are the of fices of the department of de- fence production, the Canadian exhibition commission, and the treasury department," The Na- tional Film Board offices are on Broadwick Street, The National Research Council has its London headquarters in Africa House on the Kingsway, and the wheat board is located in North Court, St. Peter Street, WIDELY SCATTERED Because of these widely scat. tered offices, it was quite a prob. lem for people wishing to do business with several Canadian departments to first of all, find new United thelr location, and make the Journey around the mall, Thus the plan to locate all of these 14 departments under one roof is a splendid measure of centraliza. tion which will be appreciated, and not the least of all by the Canadian newspaper correspon dents In London, One of the outstanding decora. tive features of the new United States Embassy is a huge Amer. fcan Eagle perched on the fa- cade. The new Canadian offices are across the street, A Canadian official has suggested to me that it might be a good idea to have a huge beaver erected on the front of the building, with a background of a maple leaf, to mark it as the home of the Ca. nadlan. government departments in London, strikes me as unlikely that Mr, thus willingly olitical aspira- is ambition to the Conservative party, Likewise, it is improbable that a person unversed in banking, as Mr, Fleming Is, would be put at the head of our national bank, In this connection, the name of Mr, Coyne"s predecessor, Mr, Graham Towers, has been men. tioned as likely to be invited to return to the governorship, It has also been suggested that Mr, Towers might be drafted to an- other and in some ways even more Important post in the same realm: The deputy - minister's chair in the department of fi. nance, as Hon, Donald Fleming's right-hand man, The present dep- uty minister, the 61-year-old ex- university professor Ken Taylor, is sald to be on the eve of retirement, A more likely suc- cessor to Mr, Taylor is Bob Bryce, the 50-year-old civil serv- ant who seven years ago stepped into the job which Jack Pickers. gill's transfer into politics left vacant--clerk of the Privy Coun. cll and secretary to the cabinet, Bob Bryce was formerly assis. tant deputy minister of finance, There is more than one way of skinning a cat, and so a change could be deduced when Sam Hughes, chairman of the terminate his Civil Service Commission, casu-. ally sald that his tenure of his rented Ottawa home is drawing to a close, That meant that his landlord Is returning to Ottawa; and his landlord, Arnold Heeney, at present represents Canada as ambassador at Washington, This is a post which Roly Michener, Speaker of the House of Com- mons, had his eye on two years ago and is likewise sald to be seeking now, Foreign Minister Howard Green has sternly set his heart against the appointment of a Conservative MP to an ambassadorial post in the recent past when the Mexican position was vacant; will he see merit and capability and reason behind Michener's reputed ambition, which he did not see In that earlier case? Our ambassador to NATO, Jules Leger, brother to Cardinal Leger, suffered a heart attack last summer and was absent from his office for several weeks --an item of Incidental informa tion which this column was able to bring to the attention of the department here, when the offi. clal spokesman was quite un. aware of it. Leger's Illness was less severe than Heeney's, and may not prompt a change, INSIDE YOU Antibiotics Not amd | ol rr ' Spain's Cordial Capital Also Lovely Sheep Track Nearby is Botin, hangout of Ernest Heminkway heroes, where whole roast sucking pig is the specialty, It is served on black earthenware platters, charred tall still visible, FOOD AND FOOTBALL Gastronomic finds include eels, squid, a milky drink called hor- 'chats made from a nut grown near Valencia, and the plebeian pepito, a tasty steak sandwich, Football is replacing bullfight- ing in popular esteem but the big draw is the cinema.

It is sprucely attractive. It has clean sparkling air, tinkling foun- tains, broad avenues and a mu seum so stuffed with master. pieces that Madrilenos claim the ozone itself has a rarefied quality, by contagion, It is also a Jasiage way for sheep, Twice a year, s wind through the city which until re cently had a plaque officially de- signating it as a sheep track, Author Cedric Salter has de- scribed Madrid as a "lusty bust ling 20th century boom town, en- closing its own quietly dreaming 17th century heart." CITY OF CONTRASTS For Madrid's skyscrapers, as modern as Manhattan, clasp a bracelet of steel and concrete round the old-world core of the eity--the famous Plaza Mayor with its symmetrical five-storey buildings that in sterner times looked down impartially on exe. cutions and royal weddings, bull fights and religious trials, Built by Philip III in keeping- up - with - the - royal - Jones emulation - of Henry IV's Place Royale in Paris, Plaza Mayor has been called the loveliest square in the world, Some tourists prefer its narrow oblique alleys with their tall, graceful, balconied houses, exuding enough charm to make the district the Montmartre of Madrid, This is a warm-hearted metro- polis, In the raffish little cafes, shell f sh, anchovies, sardines, SCIENCE AT WORK miniature pizzas or olives are served free with the drinks, and the customers have a shirtsleeved bonhomie, though nobody sees the shirtsleeves because suitconts re- main de rigueur in a city punctil. fous about dress, Established as Spain's capital in 1561, Madrid is practically a new town compared with old. timers like Cordoba and Cadiz, still occupying 2000 . year - old sites, It stands on a plateau several thousand feet above sea level and has some 2,000,000 in- habitants compared with 4000 in the 16th century, POPULAR MUSEUM The principal tourist attraction is the Prado museum, not to be confused with Pardo where Gen- eral Franco lives, Its 2270 paint. ings include masterpieces by El Greco, Goya, Zurbaran, Tintor- etto, Murillo and Velasquez, whose three - dimensional Las of Meninas is perhaps the most pop- ular work Madrid has fine shopping facili ties, outstanding restaurants, lux. ury hotels and showplace re- sidential districts such as FEI Viso, where actress Ava Gardner has taken an apartment. loose small quantities of comet By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The birthplace of comets, an oceanic subway for fish, and should - be scientists at age seven are this week's subjects for Science at Work, A COMET 18 BORN Comets, those light streaks tem, are actually falling in a fantastically huge and do they come from? trillion miles from the Wesleyan University, dletown, Conn, ings, disturbed by passing stars, These stars may shake that dart through our solar sys- fast orbit around the sun, But where Perhaps from an area far out in space--930 billion to nine sun, suggests Prof, Thornton Page Mid- British and Dutch theories in- dicate that comets are born in a pool or shell of comet-mark- Atmosphere abounds, In the ~ feturesque sector behind Plaza ._ 8 ny there is a restaurant Religious Use called Las Cuevas de Luls Can.

So when staph bacteria took over, they gave him bad food poisoning, D.T.: Food poisoning? M.D: He had the same symp- toms -- dry heaves, painful cramps, intestinal rivers and fever, We cured him with newer antibiotics that plerce bacterial bullet-proof vests. But staph is only one of many trouble - makers, Even harmless germs can grow into raging mobs that overwhelm your intestinal defences. All they need is plenty of food -- and no competition!
