Fosse 6 Vunstoy, Mery 14, ddd Million-Dollar Gift For Business Studies The Somat Brostmen Foundation ie oheerving the 70th bisthdey of is fonder, the men whose Rema i CiTiAs, by meling 8 magnificent git -- $1 mil lion doflers for studies to advance fox ss end industriel development ia Cenade. Details of the plan have not yet been received, but the snnownce- ment soys thet the Foundation "pro- poses to allocate $1 million for resesrch, education end sdvenced study in the field of Canadian business sdministie tion end ellied activities, to enhance the facilities sveileble for the expen: sion of the Canadien economy. end 19 sugment the services of industry to the nation, A committees inclusive of lead- ing university officiels is being con vened to explore the most sppropriete means to carry out these objectives" The gift could have # significant and beneficial effect on the productivity of Canadien business, When the word "productivity" is used, we sre accustomed to think of machinery, rates of production, labor standards snd so on. Very rarely does anyone tink of snother extremely im portant factor -- the dill of menege ment. Yet Poor Menegement can lowes the productivity of the most deified and devoted workers snd the most wpis- date machines, ; This thought wes expressed the other dey by Mawice BR. Hecht, vicepresi- dent of the Montresl Stock Exchengs. He seid; "I would estimate thet well trained, modern thinking end intelligent management in sll or most of ow come panies would increase ows nations productivity by some 20 per cent within & few years, When we talks showt increas. ing productivity, let ue remember thet it is not only concerned with the instal lation of new machinery snd menuise- turing techniques but slso with proper decision-making abilities on the part of our managers" We do not know how he srrived st the estimate of 20 per cent, but thet does not lessen the welidity of his stetement. And studies such ss those proposed by the Bronfman Foundation will help to bring shout the improve- ment Mr, Hecht was talking about. A Passion For Music When Sir Thomas Beecham died, the world of music lost 8 grest con- ductor, but thet wes not particularly important, because there are other great conductors and there sre fine young conductors who ere # few years sway from greatness, The loss was of & man whose fierce passion for music demanded the respect of both perform- ers and listeners, To him music was & vitually important pert of living, end there had to be integrity in the per- formance of it and in eppreciation by those not performing, * He was a courteous and kind man, but he was slso 8 man of great force of character, sharp wit and blunt hon- esty, These latter qualities built the legend of the Bir Thomas Beecham was raved st musicians, railed at audiences and snapped st interviewers; but Sir Thomas was not an angry man, he was simply 8 man who could not tolerate hypocrisy, snobbery and bad manners, When he gave audiences the rough edge of his tongue, they deserved it, He was never really at esse with audiences, since he suspected, with much reason, that many came to be seen or because it was the thing to do rather then to listen to the music, He would stop & performance when disturbed by those chronic latecomers who seem to think it fashionable to errive late for everything On et least one occasion he announced, "There will be a brief inter: mission to accommodate the strays, the shufflers end the coughers, and during this interval the later grrivels can remain standing to obtain their full measure of attention end admiration" Many have wished to do the same sort of thing; Sir Thomas wes honest enough to do it, When he visited Toronto last year, he complained about being presented by silly laws from having a nightcap, In some newspaper accounts he ap- peared gs an eccentric old man. But his criticism was surely just There are many stories of his sharp wit, One of our favorites is & rehearsal anecdote, He was conducting a rehearsal of "Aida" in which a live elephant was brought on stage, The animal relieved itself, and Bir Thomas remarked that while its manners were atrocious it was an excellent eritie, Trade Encouragement There is a grave danger that, with some parts of the free world in the grip of a recession, new pressures will emerge to solve temporary trade diffi- culties hy restrictive practices, It is encouraging that the U8, Senate com- mittee on foreign trade is studying other ways of coping with the problem, A committee staff study has been issued which takes a new line, Its basic prop- sition is that trade must be encouraged, not restricted; "The values at stake in the way we direct and regulate this force cannot be expressed in tables of exports and im. ports, schedules of tariff rates, or the balance sheet of international payments, An American decision regarding inter- national trade can topple or strengthen the government of an underdeveloped The Oshawn Times Tb WILSON, Publisher and General Manager G, GWYN KINSEY, Bditee The Oshawa Times sembining The Othava Times established 1871) and | hitby zatte and Chronicly (established | 86: is published daily (Sundays and statutory holidays excepted) s 81 € Dail Publishe Astociation, | The.

The report notes that the national interest is something far different from the sum of "varied and divergent par. ochial interests" each one of which nat. urally equates the national interest with its own, If then, it is in the national in- terest not to restrict trade but to expand it, some means must be found whereby the domestic economy can be strenghe ened without departing from the major objective of more trade, The report rejects policies of restries tion, whether by tariff, licence or quota, There is an alternative remedy of "ad. justment assistance," a program where. by help would be available for individ. ual producers and workers who encoun» ter serious injury traceable to imports, This help would be directed to the correction of basic inefficiencies, tech. nological obsolesence, low productivity levels, area blight and similar weakness. es in the nation's economy, The impact of such a vigorous de- mestie policy would produce long overs due adjustments in the economy, ins crease and render production mare effis cient and would diminish the pressure in favor of protection as such, This proposal is one which the newly created Canadian Productivity Council should study, the Montreal Star thinks, and goes on: "That Council, if it does the job it is supposed to do, will be ex- amining the reasons for decreased em- ployment in various industries, in rela. tion to those industries' productivity, If these examinations lead to the discovery that unemployment exists because of defective practices, recommendations for assistance would be in ordes* a | AY fii) / "= Box Tm Ih) QUEEN'S PARK erin] % _ INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENT Deficit Finance Tough To Avoid By DON OVHEARN TORONTO--Howls can he ex- pected shout the government's fiscal policies There will be people whe will complain that it is going inte debl-- that i is engaging n "deficit" financing It certainly is doing this Debt is estimated Lo increase $150.000,000 in the coming year Which is the biggest hoost since we started on the deficit trail in 1948, INSIDE YOU And it comes despite sales tax though there will be only half a year's revenues in 1961-62 And there is not going 10 be & halt in this growth of debt The budget indicates that next year, with a full year of sales tax and $150,000 000 revenue the increase should be not so large But the observer is skeptical about that With education and health ex- penditures rising as they are, Tunnels, Funnels And Baby's Tears By BURTON H, FERN, MD Bahy's eyes had seemed healthy until tears hegan to well up in one, Boon, thick matter sealed those tiny eyelids shut Like many children, he was horn with a hlocked tear duet, a trouble which doesn't show up right away hecause new babies don't ery tears, Once the (ear gland starts pouring out sally moisture, excess tears have to flow down their special drain Through a tiny opening on each eyelid, tears are syphon- ed into a funnel-like sac near the nose, At the hottom of this tear sae, tears drain down a long tear duct into the nose, That's why your nose runs when you ery CONSTRUCTION OF PASSAGE Tear passage construction he. ging at hoth ends.

Back Door Used # To Beat Tarifls Cr By M. McNTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON An increasing number of British firms, pre vented by tariff barriers from getting into the Common Market countries of Europe through the front door, are finding & highly convenient hack door right a cross the English Channel. This backdoor is at Calais, British firms are building factories in this seaport to circumvent the tariff walls around the Common Market, and to enable them to compete on equa. terms with its six countries, France, West Ger: many, aly, Holland, Belgium and Luxemburg, And they are doing so with the help of gen: erous subsidies from the French government There are henefits both ways, Calais has had a grim unemploy- ment situation. It welcomes these British firms because they provide a Inger solution to this problem, "$i not care through which door thJritish firms enter, so long as they establish plants in Calais, A varied range of products is included in the industries which are now building factories in Calais, Lines, the largest toy manufacturers in Britain, ex- peet to start production of small mechanical toys this summer, Courtauld's, the silk manufact: urers, already established at Calais, will shortly open a see: ond factory for producing syn: thetie fibre, Negotiations for building land have heen started by Whessoe, Limited, engineers of Darling ton, and it will soon he employ: ing about 5 people getting pro- duction under way to make gas oline tank fittings and gauges, Lake and Eliot, foundry spee: ialists, of Braintree, Essex, have applied for tax concessions (0 build a factory for the manufae: ture of hydraulic vehicle jacks, It has formed a French company to operate at Calais, Under the schedule of tariff reductions provided in the Com- mon Market structure, the tanff rates hetween these six coun: tries will he substantially lower within the next few years, and will eventually disappear en: tirely, At present, automobiles sold within the Commer. Market countries are subject to a tariff of only 21 per cent, Those which are imported from Britain are charged a tariff of 20 per cent, For machine tools, the internal tariff is 12% per cent, as AgAINSt a 16 per cent tariff against British products, For dolls and toys, the Common Market tariff is 21 per cent, but against these articles imported from Britain the tariff is 27 per cent. ith these tariff differentials, it is extremely difficult for British firms to develop a large volume of export trade with the six Common Market countries Hence the anxiety of some of them to get into that market through the back door = at Calais, CYOKES SETIANSHESS never solemnity, Today the h-year-oid Hees wears a glamorous aura of campaign success and film-star aliure--trily a powerful arr wmanry for a politician His object, he stoutly asserts, #5 10 keep John Diefenhaker In our prime minister's office for Just so long a8 he wants 14 Hay here, In pursuing this object, he has also, as most Conserv: tives now rallying in Ottawa will agree, given himself a chance of winning the next ership vote on the first ballet, EXPERIENCED SECRETARY Required for; shawa Professional Office Apply In writing te; HITECTS « ENGINEERS Box 642, The Oshows Times Walmsley & Magill OFFICE EQUIP, LTD, ?
