The Oshawa Times Published by Canadien Mewspapers Limited, 86 King 5. E., Oshawa, Ont Voge 4 _Frdsy, Fabnsry 24, 196) Try To Relate Welfare Cost To Ability To Pay A furious debsts is going on in the United Kingdom over the Macmilion governments propossls to adjust the costs of state hesith, welfare snd housing to whet it judges 10 be the tressury's abi lity to poy. Following recent adjustments to the heslth service, which increased direct individual contributions te the scheme and sls the charges for me dicines, there is the announcement of 8 new netionsl ilding policy, Present state subsidies for low-cost housing sre to continue snd mey be @aduslly incressed, but in the futire the sim is going 10 be 19 see thet those whe can afford to pay whet & house sctuslly costs do so and that only those who wre in need get help, In this wey, it is estimated, subsidies for slum clearance rehousing new towns snd old peoples dwellings be boosted, This is something of & revolution, #8 the Christian Science Monitor points out. It is arousing some disappointment snd resentment; people get used to paying "whet they do for things, snd sven when they get some service "free" ean quite genuinely lose any awareness can of being swpporied by others, even perhaps by others worse off then they; and slmost everyone objects to # means test 1g see i he or she qualifies as "poor" or net, The British government can hope 19 reduce the opposition, snd even chengs i to understanding, 19 the extent thet it convinces people by is sections thet its purpose is justice, the Monitor thinks = thet it sims to ensure thet ne Briton has tg live in 8 slum, or can be denied physical care for lack of money, or is going to be forced intg deeper poyerty because of age, Welfarism may be controversigl snd contradictory, but compassion is univer: sel and untroubled, The trouble with wellarism is thet only & rich country can really afford it while only & poor country actually needs it. The cost of welfare snd subsidies if they sre freely wveilable to sll ohviously becomes prohibitive, When most people can gfford to pay their own way the need for sid diminishes, And if, nevertheless, many whe do not need financial help continue to receive it while their neigh. bors get nothing, the evil of privilege is reintroduced, Safety For Children A child in shining armor? I children were shining armor they might have greater protection in to days desth dealing traffic, But the only armor we have in which to clothe our children today are the rules of traffic safety we teach in the home and st school, Parents must assume responsibility for training their children in sound traffic safety habits as they have the care and control of the child during his mest formative years The major contribution of parents is sxample, It is of little value to tell a child that he must cross the street slways with a green-light if Mom snd Pad thoroughtiessly defy » red light with junior in tew, A study of child traffic the prime accidents over several years by the Ontario Bafety League showed that the majority of these accidents were caused by six specific hazards; and from these stem the basic pedestrian rules that children should fallow: Go with the green, not in between, Look both ways before you eross the street and walk (don't run) when vou leave the curb, Keep out fram between Parked cars, Ride your bike safely i obey all signs and signals, (Bmall children must ride their trikes and scooters on the sidewalk) Play your games away from the street, Where there are ne sidewalks walk on the left side facing traffic, (Wear or carry something bright at night), wagons, in a wile place Now Leap Backward The disasters which overtook Come munist China's agriculture last year have impelled Peiping to some drastic steps, The most dramatic of these is the concession to peasants organized inte farm communes which were little more than forced labor camps, Now, it appears, each peasant is to be allowed a little land of his own, to keep a pig and a chicken or two, and, most im: portant, to eat or sell any surplus pre duction, After the leap forward, step backward, the New York Herald-Tribune suggests, Although the Chinese Came munist autharities are interested in long-term land improvement, the agri cultural output required support their industrial plans have evidently laid too heavy a burden on the countrys side. The communes themselves were organized in bureaucratic panic when the demands on the Chinese earth were fully understood Although the droughts, floads, storms and insect plagues of last summer could hardly be blamed on a Come munist admin stration, it seems certain that the land was {ll prepared to meet The Oshawa Tinves Eb WIION, Publisher and Sansmal Mansaw © GWYN KINSEY, Site the to Tha Ow sambining The Oshawa Tiny iy PT Bnd the With Gazette f ich (atabianed 1883.
