She Osharoa Tones Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Puge 6 Wednesday, May 10, 1961 Changing Opening Dates Might Relieve Pressure Each year sees a greater horde of anglers descending on the streams, ponds and lakes of Ontario with the opening of the trout season. The speckled and brown trout do not suf- fer unduly, since most of the fisher- men appear to be more enthusiastic than skilled, but there is a consider- able slaughter of rainbow trout and worse, inconsiderate and discourteous persons disgrace the gentle art of angling by damaging private property --with the inevitable result that even more southern streams are posted. One wonders if the time has not come for the Department of Lands and Forests to consider revisions of opening dates. If the pickerel- 'ke season opened a week earlier, for ex- ample, the pressure on the t. it streams would be greatly reliev 1. The walleyes would still have finisl >d spawning, and the waters they inhab- it are, for the most part, in public domain. At the same time, the rainbow opening could be delayed to coincide with the suggested earlier pickerel opening. The rainbows are spring spawners, too, and when Spring is late and cold, some stragglers are still working up the streams when May 1, or as was the case of this year, April 28.arrives; the fish that have spawn- ed are dropping back, weak and flab- by, and fall easy prey to any tempting bait; they lack both the superb fight- ing qualities and the tasty flesh of the prime rainbow. The spring rain- bow is not nearly the fish of the fall runs, when he is fat and brilliant, ready for the winter, instead of pale and spent. The May 1 opening for speckled and brown trout is much harder on fences and stream-banks than on the fish, at least during a normal year. The damage, of course, is done by 'anglers fishing the southern streams. The farther north one goes, the more difficult it is even for the fishing goon to do any damage--the under- brush and high water discourage the "dunkers", and particularly when cool weather persists as it has this year, the low temperature of the water keeps the catches down. North of the Kawarthas the season could open two weeks earlier without any damage to the fish population. For Runaway Blinkers In case you haven't seen the signal yet, if another driver reaches out a hand with thumb and forefinger opening and closing like a duck's mouth when the bird is quacking, don't hurl a curse at him but give him an appreciative grin. He is try- ing to tell you that one of your turn indicator lights is blinking after you've made your turn or lane switch. Although the new signal has no legal status yet, safety authorities are trying to encourage its use. A runaway blinker confuses and irri- tates other drivers--and confusion and irritation are among the foremost causes of accidents, according to safe- ty researchers. Incidentally, many drivers whose older cars lack turn light indicators seem to forget that they are still re- quired by law to give very definite hand signals when slowing down to turn or change lanes. There are times, too, when hand signals in ad- dition to light indicators are helpful. The act says that a right turn must be indicated by the left arm raised upward--generally 'interpreted to mean the arm from the elbow point- ing straight up. The other day, a chap in front of us went even further; he signalled the turn and then empha- sized it by jabbing a finger in the general direction of the top of the car. That was far better than no sig- nal, and there was no mistaking his intention. A left turn requires the arm extended horizontally--and not limply hung beside the vehicle, in a position somewhere between the left- turn sign and the stop signal. The slow-down signal, a patting motion, is one that could well be used more fre- quently, particularly now that the highways on weekends are beginning to carry holiday traffic and slow- downs are liable to occur even on su- per-highways. This signal, properly used, could prevent many rear-end crashes, particularly when combined with the flicking of brake lights. Signalling, of course, is part of courteous driving. Unfortunately, most accidents are caused by the thoughtless, discourteous drivers. We are probably preaching to the convert- ed. Radioactive Resistance Disc¢overy of a group of natives on a tiny island who live under heavy radioactive conditions, raises a num- ber of interesting points the Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph suggests. The 4800 residents of Niue Island, about 1100 miles north of New Zealand, live in an area where radioactivity is as much as 20 times more than normal, and eat food 100 times more radio- active than normal. The situation now is attracting the attention of scientists, and it is hoped that further studies may provide the clue to the future of mankind. Since the environment has evolved a race more resistant to radioactivity, these may be some reason to revise the oft- uttered phrase that a nuclear war would wipe out humanity.

If this theory gains credence, it may well lessen the fears of atomic warfare. Not entirely, of course, for we cannot underestimate the deadly effect of these weapons on persons who are within target range. But if the total-destruction theory vanishes, obviously the deterrent value of pos- session of these weapons fades. We may find that in some local war, some leader decides he can use an atomic bomb with impunity and the world may be plunged into a nuclear con- flict. "Before we get too far with such thinking, let us not forget Hiro- shima; we still must work to place an effective barrier on nuclear weap- ons; the Chronicle warns. "Indeed, we ought to remind our- selves constantly of the moral respon- sibility to do our utmost to remove the cause of all war. Whatever we may say about other nations being aggressors, we cannot escape the fact that we have failed to do our share in the grim effort to banish war from the human race." Bible Thought None of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. -- Daniel 12:10. The wicked neither understand their sin nor God's judgment upon it. The righteous understand because they have found the Saviour. QUEEN'S PARK Nova Scotia Coal Bought By Hydro By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--A credit mark for Hydro. The commission has an- nounced a large purchase of Nova Scotia coal--it's first. The order is a test--to see if the NS. product can meet American competition. In the past all the coal for steam plants has been purchased in the U.S. How much more buying could we do from other parts of Can- ada? The Lord only knows. But there must be plenty. We are always on the short end of the stick in U.S. trade. It seems logical in view of this that we would try and spend our dollars at home. But we have never made a full-hearted effort to see if we could. Hydro deserves praise for having taken a lead. SALES TAX Should chicken - medicine be taxed? This is one of many per- plexing minor problems facing our treasury people. Busy drawing-up sales tax regulations, they are neck-deep in complications. There are many holes to plug, thev find. For instance farm feed is not jo be taxed. Antibiotics were to In drawing up the draft plan these weren't considered for ex- emption. But now it is found that large quantities of them are used -- particularly by chicken growers. Also some feeds, automatic- ally exempt, contain the drugs. In fact in some types of farming--hog growers also use large quantities -- they almost are regarded as a feed. PROTESTED TAX A delegation naturally pro- tested this paritcular tax to Treasurer James Allan. And it was only one of dozens which has seen or wants to see the treasurer. And they have brought to light a series of similar border- line cases. | (Should a building contract be taxed when the tender was sub- mitted before the sales tax act officially became law?) This has meant that work on organizing for the tax has fal- len behind schedule. But the tax will still start on time, Sept. 1. Asked if the date can be met, Mr. Allan says: "We have to meet it!" REPORT FROM UK. Stewards Going Back To School By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Shop stewards in the motor car industry of the United Kingdom are going back to school. They are to be given time off work, with full pay to attend classes on industrial rela- tions. This was one of the deci- sions reached as the result of a series of conferences between management and labor in the automobile industry. It was call- ed together by the minister of labor, John Hare, and after a series of meetings, it has come up with a new charter for the industry. It is the hope of all parties concerned that it wili be a substantial factor in cutting down the number of disputes in the industry. The idea of training classes for shop stewards and supervi- sors is only one of the recom- mendations to corhe from the meetings, but it is felt impor- tant. The classes will be organ- ized by an independent outside body by agreement with the in: dividual, the employer and the union. The course is aimed at filling in possible gaps in the shop stewards' and supervisors' knowledge of industrial rela- tions. LEAD TO OTHERS The minister of labor is well satisfied with the results of this series of conferences, held over the last two months. He is hope- ful that the pattern which it has set can be adapted to other seg- ments of industry in Britain, to promote, on 'a long-term basis, better relations between unions and employers of labor. The main emphasis in the new charter for the automotive in- dustry is placed on improving communications between the men on the factory floor and those at the top. Both sides have agreed that the present procedure for hand- ling disputes were generally adequate, if handled in the ight spirit. On the question of work study, the joint statement issued said that modern techniques were essential to maintain effi- ciency and the competitiveness of the industry. Further consid- eration, however, wil! be given to action which could reduce the apprehension that might arise from the application of work and time studies on the shop floor. POSITION OF UNIONS The unions promised to give consideration to one matter which has produced difficulties in the industry. Thiz was the fact that in some companies, workers in different parts of the factory, where similar work is carried on, are members of dif- ferent unions. This made trans- fer of workers very difficult. Commenting on the joint statement, Mr. Hare said the agreed document contained many important and positive decisions. But he added: "It is not a matter in which spectacular results will be seen overnight. It is a long-term operation." He proposes, he said, to call another meeting of the parties in six or nine months to review progress made under the agree- ment. INSIDE YOU ~ Depend On Doctor ~ For Blood Checks By BURTON H. FERN, MD ARE YOU spending valuable dollars to stock up on rich red blood, only to find your stock as watered down as ever? Blood cell manufacturing is big business -- inside your body, too. Raw materials have to come in through the intestine's main gate and flow continuous- ly into the production set-up. Your blood thins out when production slows or the need in- creases. Iron, vitamins, protein and other essential raw materials may be left off the menu and never shipped. Without stomach juice's special pass, they may be stopped at the intestine's front gate. An intestinal traffic jam may detour shipments past the main gate and prevent their arriving at the production line. TEMPORARY SHUTDOWN Inside the plant, a broken- down liver may not be able to store raw materials until they're needed. Alongside the liver, the spleen -- Chairman of the Board -- may swell and order a temporary shutdown. Infection or poisoning may leave the bone marrow too pooped to participate in blood cell production. Criminal cancér elements may invade the mar- row and tie up the works. Excessive waste may set pro- duction quotas too high for ordinary marrow. You may have to replace blood gushing from a large artery or replace small losses such as a heavy menstrual flow. You may not see the lost blood if it's used to feed intesti- nal hookworms of if you bleed internally. Oddly - shaped red cells often explode inside your blood vessels, leaving you with pale anemia and yellow jaun- dice PINPOINTS TROUBLE Like an efficiency expert, your doctor examines you and your blood cells to pinpoint the A trouble and prescribe a remedy. Pale, iron-lacking cells hardly , resemble the large dark cells that suggest troubled stomach juices. Other tests may uncover hookworms, hemorrhage and other hidden causes of anemia. No good businessman pur- chases extra loads of costly raw materials unless he's certain the'rye needed. Why should you? BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Cadet Corps of the OCVI made a splendid showing at its annual inspection at Alexandra Park. R. N. Grainger was elected president of the Oshawa Scot- tish Rite Club at a meeting of the directors. A meeting held under the au- spices of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce strongly favored the establishment of a farmer's market in Oshawa. Stan Everson, member of the Oshawa Tennis Club, was chosen president of the Toronto Tennis Association, largest ten- nis organization in Canada. The greens committee of the Oshawa Bowling Club was mak- ing good progress at the new property on Colborne street west to have the greens in shape for the 1937 season General Nicholas A. Kapu- stiansky, Ukrainian nationalist leader, spoke at a public meet- ing in Oshawa. Mrs. I. L. McLean succeeded Mrs A. E.
