Page 6 Friday, June 23, 1961 Safety Belts For Cars Seen On The Increase The Canadian automotive industry, following the lead of its American counterpart, is planning to install seat belt "hardware" in all its 1962 models. In everyday language|, "hardware" in this sense means the reinforcing plates attached to the floor pans of cars, with universal brackets to which safety belts can be fastened securely. This information was released at the same time it was announced that the accident death toll for the Victoria Day weekend had reached 56 -- 36 on the highways. This compares with 65 fatal- ities of all kinds during the same week- end last year, with 33 of them from traffic. The question is: how many of those lives would have been saved and how many other people would have suffered less severe injuries, had seat belts been used? Safety officials state that tests prove safety belts are most effective in curtailing deaths or lessening injuries of those involved in traffic accidents. Al- though safety belts have been available as optional equipment for motor vehicles for some time, they are not in general use. Is this because they are not part of standard equipment? It is logical to assume this is so. Seat belts are a regulation part of equip- ment on airplanes, and it is obligatory for passengers to use them. No one we know of protests their use in this way. The situation is accepted. There is a story told of a safety- conscious woman, the mother of three children, who from the time she first began to take them out in her car, put them in seat belts. Not only did this help to hold the youngsters in place and assure they did not get in mother's way or fall out a door or window. The belts became accepted by young people as the normal and natural equipment and the children are grow= ing up to use them without question. On the other hand, most people have been accustomed to ride in cars so long without seat belts that it may take considerable time as well as mental effort to adjust to them, and there may be a continued inclination to let them lie idle and not put them to their in- tended use. It will be interesting to see whether this move of the automotive industry will cut down on the traffic casualties. Who knows but in a short time people may be saying of belts: "I wonder what we would ever have done without them." In the meantime, it beholds all drivers to continue to develop the best in driving habits and hold to them at all times. Hammarskjold Hits Back Secretary General Hammarskjold of the United Nations has made his strong- est defense of the concept of an inter- national UN secretariat directed by an independent chief executive. He spoke at Oxford university. Hammarskjold in effect answered the Russian demand that his office give way to a three man executive with rep- resentatives of the Communist bloc, the west and neutral nations. Each would have a veto. He also opposed Prime Minister Neh- ru's suggestion for a triumvirate of deputy secretaries general and the pro- posal of some western circles for an in- tergovernmental secretariat. Under this latter system, Hammarskjold said, the members would obviously not "be sup- posed to work in the direction of an internationalism considered unpalatable to their governments." Russian members of the secretariat even now work for the Soviet Union and not the UN. They seldom stay more than two years and return to Russian foreign office assignments. They are not true international servants. A truly international secretariat must be free of extralegal governmental pressures of all types. Hammarskjold emphasized the need for the secretary general to carry out his duties as contemplated by the Char- ter. He believes that legally the secre- tary general has a good deal of political initiative, limited only by the UN Charter and insructions from UN bodies. Census Totals Forecast Authorities expect the June cen- sus to show that British Columbia and Alberta have shown the greatest per- centage increase in population since the last census in 1959 with Ontario and Quebec registering the biggest numerical increase. The two western provinces are expected to show a growth of about 40 per cent, with Ontario third at about 35 per cent, and Quebec and New- foundland about 30 per cent. Percentages can be deceiving, how- ever. The growth rate figures for other 1 4, be Nez Brunswick, 18 per cent; Manitoba, 17; Nova Scotia, 14; Saskatchewan, 10; and Prince Edward Island, 6. But .six per cent of 98,429 -- the population of Prince Edward Island in 1951 -- is only 9505.74, while Saskatchewan's 10 per cent increase represents only 83,172.8; in both cases the growth is less than one would expect from natural increase along during the ten-year period.

Ontario will be able to point to an additional 1,580,000 people -- 38 per cent of the nation's estimated popu- lation increase in the decade. Quebec expects to hold second place with an increase 1,135,000 or 27 per cent of the national growth. British Columbia should be third with an estimated 465,000 additional residents and Alberta fourth : Simmadad 272 ANN How about Canada as a whole? What would be your guess as to the national increases in population since 1951 -- 15 per cent, 20? In fact, the population has increased a whooping 30 per cent, and the June census will probably show a total of about 4,200, 000, or increase of about 4,200,000 in the past 10 years. This big jump is almost double the increase for the preceding decade, when the population rose 2,440,000, including the addition of Newfoundland. Indeed the past decade's growth is almost 570, 000 greater than the increase for the preceding 20 years. From 1931 to 1951 the nation added 3,363,000 people. Other Editor's Views SAME GOOD GUY (London Free Press) Guy Lombardo's spontaneous ges- ture of conducting a school band dur- ing his brief visit to his native city was typical of London's most famous musical son. All the Lombardos have retained an abiding affection for their home town; financial and artistic success has left them completely un- spoiled. Whenever they come back to London they are genuinely glad to be here and Londoners are always happy to welcome the talented brothers who for more than 30 years have formed the nucleus of the world's most pop- , ular dance orchestra. OTTAWA REPORT Committee Work Parliament's Best By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Some of the best work performed on Parliament iHll is seen in committees of the Senate. It is in such informal and well-equipped study groups that the broad national experi- ence and immense political knowledge accumulated in our Senate can show to best ad- vantage. Typical of the outstanding con- tributions thus made to Parlia- ment by our upper house is the report of the special committee of the Senate on manpower and employment, released last week. This committee was set up last November, as the result of an inter-party agreement proposed by Senator Walter Aseltine, the Conservative leader in the Sen- ate, and seconded by Senator Ross Macdonald, the Liberal leader. The committee was ap- pointed "to study and report upon the trends in manpower requirements and utilization in Canada, with the object of ex- ploring the possibilities of main- taining and extending a high level of employment." It was particularly charged to examine the growth of our economy, the effect of technological changes upon employment, and the ex- pansion and characteristics of our labor force. The very strong committee of 33 Senators included such prom- inent businessmen and lawyers as Senators Brunt, Thorvaldson, Bouffard, Leonard, Hugesson and Roebuck. It is eloquent of the fund of ability in the Senate that such towering personalities as Senators Tom Crerar, "Chubby" Power and Wishart Roberston -- all former cabinet ministers--were not added to this important committee. SURVEY OF INDUSTRY The committee had in fact been organized late in the pre- vious parliamentary session. Dr. J. J. Deutsch, a leading econ- omist who now is vice-chancellor star career in the civil service, was co-opted to supervise or- ganizational work and prelimin- ary studies. Thus it quickly swung into stride to hold meet- ings at which prominent business men were heard and questioned; these included the chairman or representative of nearly all our leading business and labor asso- ciations, as well as representa- 35 YEARS AGO C. A. Lander was elected to ; the City Council by acclama- tion to fill the vacancy caused by the death of J. L. Whattam. Department of Education ap- ) proved plans for a combined tives of the fields of agriculture, education and banking. The conclusions and recom- mendations contained in the 100- page report of the committee constitute the first comprehen- sive national survey of our labor force, of our job opportunities, and most important--of who are the unemployed. BLUEPRINT FOR ACTION When this report has been di- gested and analyzed by the cab- inet, it should substitute fact for what has had to be guesswork about our current economic problems. In highlight, the report stressed the important role played by exports in Canada, which is proportionately by far the greatest trading nation in the world. It pointed out how our small domestic market handi- caps our manufacturing indus- tries, and warned that this prob- lem will grow if we remain an isolated trading unit. It pointed out that our wage and price pol- icies must henceforth be kept in line with world conditions, since cost increases can no longer be passed on to customers either in Canada or abroad. The need to have trade skills was heavily underlined. '"'Noth- ing has impressed the com- mittee more than the very heavy incidence of unemployment among young people, the un- skilled, and the inadequately educated," say the senators. Not inappropriately, this re- port, compiled by a committee on which Liberals predominate, has apt words to say about the current controversy between the minister of finance and the gov- ernor of the Bank of Canada. It comes down heavily in favor of the minister, and asserts that the conflict of policies--which it condemns--is responsible for our tight money supply, our high in- terest rates, our unattractive flow of capital. Stating that "an important weakness has developed in this country," the committee says "There has been a serious lack of co-ordination between our monetary and fiscal policies" and it urges a change in the present system whereby mon- etary control is in the hands of the governor of the bank. INSIDE YOU Mothers Lacking Adequate Support By BURTON H. FERN, M.D. Mother had riches, but no support! Those strong muscles sup- porting her pelvic organs had stretched when she gave hirth. Now she had triple trouble --= cystocele, rectocele and .auen womb. These supporting muscles normally form a large funnel with three separate openings -- the bladder's passage, the birth canal and the intestine. All three organs are supported by this strong muscular funnel. Because each passage curves, no weight pushes down through any openings. But when diffi- cult deliveries or repeated births stretch this funnel it droops, allowing every organ to push into the birth canal. TRIPLE TROUBLE The bladder pushes from the front (cystocele) while the in- testine bulges from in back (rectocele). And the womb 'sinks straight down, sometimes to the outside world! Straining no longer empties bladder or intestine. Each mere- ly bulges further into the birth canal. Every cough and sneeze squeezes fresh drops down the drain, while germs swim up- stream to frolic in and infect the never-empty bladder. Thickened womb lining trig- gers a painful, irregular men- strual flow. Babies stop arriv- ing. Even those that begin to grow are soon lost. The back aches and bottom drags as the womb tips back- ward and supporting muscles sag. Like a tailor, the surgeon tightens sagging muscles and takes up the slack. He anchors the birth canal just beneath the front pelvic bones where no or- gan can push down into it. The doctor may prescribe a special spring-like ring to support the sagging organs before surgery SOME AIDS Resting flat in bed immedi- ately after giving birth takes high and Public school for Port Perry to cost approximately $85,000.

Liberals Seen With Grievance By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent To The Usiawa Times LONDON '-- Members of the Liberal party feel that they have a grievance. They are angry with Prime Minister Macmillan because this year again, he has not included any members of their party in the Queen's birth- day honors list. Since 1958, when the principle of life peers was introduced, not a single Liberal has been ele- vated to the upper house in that capacity. " One reason, it is thought, is that Joseph Grimond, the Lib- eral leader, at that time made a fierce attack, which the prime minister has never forgotten, on the system of political patron- age. WONDERS WHY When this year's honors Nst was announced, Lord Ogmore, a leading Liberal peer, made this comment: "I don't know why he keeps on doing it. Is it a personal matter? Or is he afraid .the Liberals are already too power- ul?" Recently a private approach was made to the prime minister by Lord Rea, leader of the Lib- erals in the House of Lords. His argument, put simply, was that the Liberals have only about seven active men in the House of Lords, and able to carry on the everyday work of providing a d opposition in the up- READER'S VIEWS GM Quartette Is Recalled Editor: Dear Sir: In a recent edition of your paper- there appeared an item regarding the General Motors Quartette singing at a concert in Cobourg 30 years ago. Dur- ing the years I have been asked by many how this quartette was formed and whether it was a barbershop quartette. It was formed in a washroom of the main office by the late Frank Chester and myself singing "On Moonlight Bay" ete. The late Alex Bell joined in to make a trio and Chas. Lam- bert completed it. However, Frank did not read music so he aropped out to make room for Jack Ballantyre. We organized and bought mu- sic and commenced rehearsing. Soon we sang in Northminster Church, then St. Andrew's, Al- bert Street and then on to as far east as Madoc, and the Royal York in Toronto. Often there were three en- gagements in a week and all church work was gratis. We had 36 pieces memorized from the music and we sang unaccom- panied merely by striking the chord we wanted. This quar- tette was praised for its balance of tone and the popular songs it used. '"'Hear Dem Bells', 'Corn Field Melodies", '"'Cockles and Muscles", "The Wabash", were favorites, also 'Steal "Away" and "Crossing the Bar', and many others. General Motors supplied us with a uniformed chauffeur and Buick for all engagements, and we all worked within a minutes walk of each other. We rehearsed every Sunday from two to four at the home of the Bell's, 468 Simcoe street north, where the late Mrs. Bell gave us good advice on balance and interpretation being an elo- cutionist herself. This quartette sang together for many years. C. A. TOAZE SCHOOL GAMES 555 Rossland Road West, Oshawa, Ontario, June 19th, 1961 Mr. T. L.

QUEEN'S PARK Tense Atmosphere Hits Legislature By DON O'HEARN TORONTO Something is going to blow up here soon. This is a feeling one can't escape these days. There is an atmosphere of pressure on the government of a strength not witnessed in many years. And along with this an appar- ent fumbling on its part. - There have been the continu- ous demands--and not only from political sources--for an inquiry into crime. There has been a series of strikes in which the government has been involved, either through attempted intervention or hesitancy to act. There have been renewed de- mands for more effective action in regulating municipalities and their affairs. And not only has the reaction to this given the impression of fumbling but it also has left a picture of an apparent division of thought within the govern- ment itself. wren own The scene 1s sei, one wouiu say, for a drastic revision in the government. And if not this, then a gov- ernment that will crumble. Toronto is still acting silly to- wards its silly cross walks. This town is so sanctified in its self-respect that when it takes a step it has to be right-- per chamber, Yet only the Conservative and Labor parties have had their strength increased in the last three years by the creation of life peerages. NOT FAIR TREATMENT Lord Ogmore says the Liberal party feels very strongly about this. "We need extra people in the House of Lords today, but the prime minister is not play- ing the game in the way we feel he should," he said. "As Liberals, we are entitled to fair treatment. We are not asking for knighthoods or honors. But we do think the pur- pose of the Life Peerages Bill is not being carried out when one of the main opposition par- ties is so consistently ignored." One Liberal whom many of the party members would like to see elevated to the House of Lords is Lady Violet Bonham- Carter, long one of the party stalwarts. They would also like to see their leader, Joseph Grimond, raised to the status of a privy councillor. This would give him a definitely improved status in the House of Commons. Under the House rules, being a privy councillor would entitle him to preferential treatment in being noticed by the Speaker of the House at guestion time. At pres- ent, because he is not a privy councillor, although he is a party leader, Mr. Grimond has only the status of a back- bencher when it comes to being recognized by the speaker. even if it is leading it directly over a precipice. A few years ago # put ia pedestrian "safety" crosswalks. Right away a few pedestrians, deceived by this "safety" fac: tor walked into death. A long siege then started of trying to improve the walks. The accident record on them has kept going up. But the siege continues. One of the great weaknesses of the walks is that they are very hard to spot in advance. Motorists come upon them suddenly and slam on their brakes. And probably three or four rear-ends go to the garage for renovation. a good answer. It is proposing to make it an offence for a motorist to pass another car within 100 feet of a walk. This, of course, will just add to the weakness. Motorists who can't spot the walks anyway will have to worry about passing at them. So far as the public of the province is concerned the glar- ing weakness is that the govern- ment here has supported this system. Because it is afraid to offend Toronto, one suspects. y, The | We announce the appointment of Mr. Douglas R.
