A i a os The Oskar Tes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 6 Thursday, April 20, 1961 'Chambers Of Commerce 'Rooted In Communities ai This week the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce and other Chambers across $ the country have been celebrating : Chamber of Commerce Week by striving Sto acquaint the public more fully with % the aims and purposes of their organiza- 3 tion. This task of informing is necessary, % because many people in the past have 4 acquired quite mistaken ideas about the : organization -- a common fallacy, for : example, was that a Chamber existed : for the sake of "big business". In fact, 'a Chamber exists for its community, and 3 if it forgets its obligation to the "com- * munity it loses its reason for existence. The Oshawa Chamber is now a vigorous organization with nearly 500 members, most of whom take an active part in one or more of the pro- jects and programs pursued by the Chamber. These programs are all linked to community welfare -- the attraction of more visitors to Oshawa, study of the parking and traffic problems, the further- ing of business education, promotion of harbor and airport facilities, public transportation and a variety of other matters all of direct concern not simply to the business community but to the community at large. Wage-earners as well as individual business men, indus- trial executives and member of the professions make up the membership. Each province has its provincial Chamber, which is nothing more or less than an entity which exists by and for the individual community groups, just as the Canadian Chamber exists for the provincial organizations. The Chamber structure thus grows from the grass roots, its policies being set and its re- commendations drawn from the diverse membership across the country, repre- senting the thinking of the dentist, the doctor, the store manager, the office worker, the proprietor of the corner shop as much as, indeed more than, that of the "big operator, since the latter are few and the former many. The Chamber strength, then, is drawn from the individual, community-serving organization. And Oshawa is fortunate in having now a Chamber with vigorous, able leadership and a wide and repre- sentative range of membership. Resource Management A disturbing extract from a 10-year- old report by a US. commission has been reproduced in a news release from the On Department of Lands and F The release refers to next Octo "Resources for Tomorrow" conference, and then quotes extensively from the US. report on conservation, the theme of which may be gathered from the following paragraphs: "Conservation is something very dif- " ferent from simply leaving oil in the ground or trees in the forests on the theory that by sacrificing lower value uses today we will leave something for the higher value uses of tomérrow when supplies will be scarcer. Using resources today is an essential part of making our economy grow; materials which become embodied in today's capital goods, for example, are to work and help make tomorrow's production higher." "In developing America, our fore fathers consumed resources extravagant- ly but we are certainly better off in materials supply than they were. 1t would be unreasonable for us, their posterity, to suggest that they should have consumed less so that we might consume more." Handling Of The Indian affairs branch has issued an illustrated booklet on "The Indian in Transition", which contains this state- ment: "Since 1951, when the Indian Act was revised, enormous strides forward have been made under the aegis of a new and enlightened administration, and we may confidently look forward to a time in the not very far future when the reservations, which, in spite of all their faults, literally saved the Indian race from extinction, will no longer be needed." The Ottawa Citizen suggests that this quotation and others like it are worth keeping in mind at a time when some are attempting to draw parallels be- tween apartheid in South Africa and * Indian policy in Canada. There are no points in resemblance. South Africa's . Tye Osharon Times TL WILSON, Publisher end Gamers! Manager C GWYN KINSTY.

The disturbing element is that the "efficient use" argument has been used time and again to justify what really amounts to inefficient exploitation. Some resources are not renewable -- minerals, for example. No hard rule can be established as to their use; but some mines have had short, highly profitable lives because their highgrade ore was ripped out, while others, where high- grade ore has been mixed with lower grades, continue to produce profitably and to provide jobs. : We know that a well-managed forest produces healthier, faster-growing trees, better lumber and more jobs than an unmanaged forest, and that only some great natural disaster can destroy it as a continuing resource. Buf if we simply consume the forests, we leave an extra. vagant bill for posterity to pay -- an arid land of rock and eroded soil Indians policy is a deliberate attempt to keep white and black apart and also Teep non-whites in a state of perpetual sub- ordination. In this country, the Ottawa writer continues, all political parties are agreed on a policy of gradual integration of the Indians into the Canadian population. The present minister in charge of Indian Affairs, Mrs. Ellen Fairclough, has right- ly said that "education is the key to a promising future for the Indians." Canadians have much to be ashamed of in their past treatment of these people. But gttempts are being made to atone for past indifference and neglect. On this particular subject, at least, Canadians can now discuss questions of racial discrimination without laymg themselves open to charges of hypocrisy.

A WAND'RING MINSTREL, I-- REPORT FROM U.K. Scots And Welsh Called Outsiders By M. McINTYRE HOOD ' Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- An Englishman who refused to give his daugh- ter permission to mary a Scots- man, on the ground that all Scots were foreigners, remain- ed unrelenting to the end. When his daughter was married to the Scot, by virtue of a court order from the local magistrates, he refused to attend the ceremony. His wife was there because she did not share her husband's an- tipathy to all those who are not English. But he stayed at home. This case has received consid- erable prominence in the press of the United Kingdom, and has aroused the ire of not only the people of Scotland but those of Wales as well.

New chairman Ross Strike, who always has been a leader in this fight, leaves no question but that he intends to see that the conflict is carried on. He considers it vital that the commission and 'the municipali- ties sell more electricity. And he will continue to do everything he can to gain on the goal. NEED LOAD Mr. Strike, of course, has a good argument. He contends that if Hydro rates are to be kept low there must be a better balanced load. This means that off-peak sales must be encouraged. Balanced load, of course, is a key to spccessful operation in both the eleetrical and the gas businesses. In fact it is probably even more important to the latter. To keep their plants busy they must be distributing electricity or gas all the time. Both, of course, have high usage in winter. Electric lights are burning then and gas space heaters are going full out. But to be economic they must be doing a good business all year. HOUSE HEATING? This is why they are both so all-out for water-heating busi- ness, cooking, etc. These are loads that keep up all year and help to balance their load One observer still can't see how Hydro can engage in space heating This has always been re- garded as an uneconomic usage. There have been improve ments in equipment. But still it is hard to recon- cile that the use of electricity for house heating is justified. However the Hydro people are convinced it is. CORDIAL MAN There is one thing in Mr. Strike's favor. He will be one of the most cordial chairmen the commis- sion has ever had. He has always been approach- able and unassuming. And he is not the type to lose that because of higher office. - Although he has been on the commission 17 years he has not maintained a Toronto residence. He still drives back and forth daily to Bowmanville and keeps his small-town interests. ov church, the rehearsals com- pleted, and the wedding prepar- ations all completed, Henry Newton of Acton, the father in the case, repeated firmly: "I will stand by my convic- tions and will not attend the wedding because I don't ap- prove of my daughter marrying a foreigner." In the sitting room of his first- floor flat at Acton, the 53-year- old Mr. Newton added: "Scotsmen aren't supposed to be in this country at all without a permit. If I had my way there would be control posts on the border, and Scotsmen would have to apply for visas, giving their reasons for visiting Eng- land. Welshmen too. If we go on like this we are all going to starve. It won't do the country any good." "I don't object to the lad him- self, though I have only met him once," said Mr. Newton. "But he is a foreigner ... I was in Glasgow three weeks ago, you know. And I felt a for- eigner there." WENT TO COURT His daughter, Marilyn New- ton, was only 17 when she de- cided to marry 21-year - old Bruce Macdonald from Glas- gow, who worked as a steel welder in Acton. But her father was adamant in refusing per- mission for the marriage, and his permission was necessary since she was under 18 years old. So Marilyn and her fiancee Bruce went to the local magis- trate's court to secure an order permitting them to marry. There the reason for the father's objection was stated. The mag- istrates took a dim view of it. They sympathized with the young couple, and granted them permission to marry, over the father's objections. And the couple were married the other day, with Marilyn's uncle giving her away in place of her father. INSIDE YOU Prenatal World Address Finders By BURTON H. FERN, MD CAN A NEW baby develop outside the womb? What hap- s? Each month a female egg cell leaves its ovary home and wanders down a tiny tube to- wards the womb. If the egg cell meets a male sperm cell in the tube, they unite to make a child. The fertilized egg cell begins to grow, even though it won't reach the waiting womb for three days. It may be delayed by scars from old infections or operations, - or by side roads which are mistaken for the ain thoroughfare. The tube may be pinned beneath a tiny insignificant tumor: ° BY-GONE DAYS 39 YEARS AGO Verne E. R. Zufelt of Oshawa wasawarded the travelling scholarship open to students in the final year in theology at Queen's University. G. D. Conant resigned from the Public Utilities Commision on being appointed director and counsel of the Ontario Shore Gas Company. At a meeting of the Oshawa =lawn Bowling Club, it was de- cided to build an addition to the clubhouse to accommodate the lady members. General Motors brought in the first cargo of steel ever shipped to Oshawa by water. Rev. G. W. Irvine, minister of Cedardale United Church, ac- cepted a call to Williamstown H. C. Treneer, organist of King Street United Church, who was guest speaker at the Kins- men Club meeting, gave an in- teresting account of the import. ant work which is being carried on by the Canadian Institute for the Blind.

It has to dig in and grow roots or starve, and so the cells burrow into the tube wall. Im- mediately, large blood vessels spring up to pour jn the needed nourishment. X-RAYS SPOT TROUBLE Special X-rays can outline these vessels to reveal this wrong prenatal address. Menstrual cycles stop, the womb swells and Mom thinks she's expecting. An occasional one-sided pain can't cloud her happiness now! But something has to give, as Baby grows inside a tube no, larger than your little finger. He may break loose and flow upstream until he finds a "per- fect" prenatal oasis inside the abdomen. Here, occasionally, he lives long enough to be born. But usually the wrong pre- patal address means no deliv- ery. Mother miscarries. But un- like the usual miscarriage, the bleeding is clot-free when womb sheds its lining SHARP PAIN Sometimes the growing baby breaks through the tube wall ripping open large blood sels to cause dangerous bleed- ing. Mother feels a sharp ing pain before this intern hemorrhage sw her abdo- men and threatens her life Blood transfusions and emer- gency surgery can save her, but not the tube.
