dhe Oshavon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Saturday, July 15, 1961 Much More To Be Heard About The Coyne Affair The Coyne affair is not finished by any means. In the first place, Mr. Coyne does not appear to be the sort of person to slip into obscurity, now that he has left the Bank of Canada. Will he join Walter Gordon as one of the economic oracles of the Liberal party? Such a move would give him a splendid oppor- tunity to continue his attacks on Mr. Diefenbaker and Mr. Fleming, both of whom seem to have inspired in him the bitterest feelings. In the second place, Mr. Coyne is certain to figure promi- nently in election debate. There is still some mystery in the Coyne affair. Despite the thousands and thousands of words uttered and written in the dispute by Mr. Fleming and his col- leagues on the one hand and Mr. Coyne and his supporters on the other, there is no evidence that the governor flatly re- fused to co-operate on monetary policy or attempted to scuttle it--possibly be- cause Mr. Fleming did not have any broad, cohent monetary policy, Mr.Coyne made many critical speeches, but he restricted his speech-making when Mr. Fleming indicated the government's dis- pleasure. The matter of the boosted pension seems to have been explained, and in any case afforded slim reason for the government's precipitate action in seeking to fire Mr. Coyne. The sugges- tion that Mr. Coyne had to go because he would not sympathize with budget proposals is rather obvious example of pre-judgment on the basis of supposi- tion. The answer seems to lie in the person- alities of Mr. Coyne and Mr. Fleming, Each shows traces of a Jehovah com- plex. When two such people come to- gether, sooner or later one must go. It turnd out to be Mr. Coyne. But we doubt if he will be satisfied to let Mr, Fleming have the last word. In the light of 'his dramatics at the Senate banking committee's hearings, Mr. Coyne will have a great deal more to say--although he may find it more difficult to distri bute his publicity releases, now that he cannot use facilities of the Bank of Canda. His use of those facilities through out the controversy was an abuse of his position and authority. But Mr. Coyne and his supporters should be wary of the affair as an elec- tion issue. Mr. Coyne has himself helped to obscure his case by the amount of talking he has done, mixing principles with personal differences. The man in the street will be better able to under- stand the horror (genuine or not) of government spokesmen as they charge Mr. Coyne with pushing through a nen- sion increase of more than $12,000-- to $25,000, the working pay of the prime minister, or the equivalent of more than five years' earnings of a good factory worker. If Mr. Coyne hopes to do political damage to the Conservatives, he must think of some way to counter the pension argument -- $25,000 is a sum large enough to make the average Canadian's mouth water, but not so large that it cannot be comprehended in terms of weekly wages. New Economic Survey The ninth edition of the Economic Survey of Ontario, the first since 1957, has been released by the Ontario depart- ment of economics. This study provides a wealth of economic and financial in- formation on the province and its in- dividual economic regions. A consider- able amount of new material including charts, maps and photographs, has been incorporated into this report in order to increase its value for business, govern- ment and educational institutions. The volume is divided into three parts. Part 1 contains a brief history of Ontario's development, a description of the organization, functions and duties of each government department, a re- view of the province's finances since 1944 and an account of Ontario's posi- tion in the field of federal-provincial fiscal relations, The economy of Ontario as a whole is dealt with in Part IL. Here, illus- trated by charts and diagrams, is set out information on population, employment and earnings, income and expenditure, capital investment the natural resource industries, energy, manufacturing, cons- truction, the tourist trade, transportation and communications. Detailed tabular data have been placed in an appendix. A breakdown of Ontario statistics by economic regions is provided in Part IIT Wharauer possible, figures have been presented on a county or district basis. In addition, information has been shown for many of the province's municipali- ties. The Survey illustrates the Provinces spectacular economic growth. Ontario's population, which now stands at 6.2 million, has increased by over one- third since 1951 and may reach nearly nine million by 1976. The labor force he Osha Times 1. L.

The report show that personal in- come in Ontario during 1960 stood at an all-time high of over $11 billion -- better than 80 per cent above the 1951 level. Per capita personal income, which reached $1,820, was higher than in any other province, Ontario accounts for one-half of the total value of Canadian manufacturing output. In 1960 the province's manu- facturing industries produced goods valued at almost $12 billion -- a gain of close to 50 per cent over the last decade. Increasing industrialization and urbanization have been accompanied by remarkable additions to Ontario's electric generating plant and equipment. The province's hydraulic, thermal and nuclear power sources are all being further developed, while the use of natural gas is gaining rapidly. As well as being the most highly in- dustrialized province in Canada, Ontario also ranks first in agricultural produc- tion. Since the Second World War, the annual farm cash income in Ontario has been higher than in any other province. Last year, farm cash income totalled some $880 million. Livestock and live- stock products provide three-quarters nf thin tatal Torharen in tha second largest source of cash income, account- ing for over one-tenth of the aggregate, followed by field crops and fruits and vegetables. The province continues to maintain its leading position in mineral output which last year reached a record level of 984 million. Ontario's five top rank- ing minerals are nickel, uranium, copper, gold and iron. With an output valued at $766 million, they accounted for more than three-quarters of the total value of mineral production in the prov- ince. The purpose of this review is to set out the major facets of economic, fin- ancial and social activity, illustrate and analyze growth, and indicate the con- tribution of the province to the economic life of the nation. The report should prove helpful to business and govern- ment as well as the public generally in recognizing the opportunities of the future. Other Editor's Views SPEEDING THE GIFT (La Liberte, Switzerland) Paul Ribeaud, author of "Adieu, Congo," is surprised at the rapidity with which emancipation has swept the Congo. In a virgin forest 500 miles from Stanley- ville the leader of a band of pygmies asked him: "Tell us, please, this gift of independence -- will it arrive by boat or by airline?" ---- OF COURSE DARLING MOTHER, BUT DON'T LET US CATEH You HANGING Your CLOTHES ON ANY HICKORY LIME / ' 'DAUGHTERS, MAY I GO IN TO SWIM? OTTAWA REPORT Further Inquiry Required Of CBC By PATRICK NICHOLSON After weeks of meetings, the House of Commons committee on broadcasting has brought down a report which is no more than a patchwork quilt. It satis- fies neither the Canadian Broad- casting Corporation nor Parlia- ment. The House of Commons has to tax you and me to raise the $81,752,300 which the CBC re- quests from Parliament this year. In general terms, this sum is the difference between the CBC's total expenditures this year, and the revenue it is able to charge advertisers who rent its facilities. Since our MPs must collect from us this huge sum, they re- spect their obligation to ensure that our money is spent wisely and economically. by the CBC. For this purpose, the task of ex- amining the affairs of the CBC was delegated to a committee of the House this year, as in previous years. It was made painfully clear to committee members this year, even more so than previously, that the czars appointed to run the publicly-owned CBC object strongly, and most unreason- ably, to these meetings with the committee. As if they have plenty to hide--and some com- mittee members suspect that they have--they gave their ques- tioners the impression that they were wrestling with a pile of feathers. One MP told me: "It is outrageous that the employees of the taxpayers should be so antagonistic when the elected representatives of those taxpay- ers want to discuss their busi- ness with them." Typical of the costly plans of the CBC which the committee questioned, but failed to have satisfactorily explained, is the project to build a new head of- fice in Ottawa costing some $12,000,000. The CBC now has a head office staff of about 400 in Ottawa. A fair question is why any staff is located here, rather than more economically and con- ing and production centres in Toronto and Montreal. The next question is why 400 workers need such a building, six times as ex- pensive as for a comparable pri- vate company, on one of the most expensive suburban river- side sites in our capital. An un- answerable question is why the department of public works has not been invited to use its ex- isting facilities to 'supervise the design and construction, which would be cheaper and more ef- fective than permitting the song- and-dance supervisors of the CBC to wallow in the unac- customed field of architecture. The most penetrating, and an undeniably true, criticism made by the committee was its con- cern over the lack of super- vision and control of CBC scripts and programs. The top programming officials although men of experience in broadcasting, have seemingly abdicated control over the junior producers responsible for in- dividual programs. The result is that the CBC has become, and seems likely to remain, an ob- ject of nationwide controversy and often justified ridicule and resentment. Remember the improper nun, the shady lady and the phony unemployed? And did you ever listen to commentaries on pub- lic affairs, such as on the recent Coyne case, which many poli- ticians consider a screaming na- tional scandal? Some union members want to contract out of the levy to sup- port the New Party through union dues; there is talk here of taxpayers wanting to contract out of the tax-subsidy to the CBC on the grounds that it ap- pears to have set itself up as a partisan political machine. One angered ex-public servant here, a dedicated Liberal, de- plored to me the manner in which a group of men, em- ployed by the CBC to interview a cabinet minister, dared to try to discredit him and his office in the public eye. "Mackenzie King would never have stood for that," he declared. Thus the parliamentary com. mittee has left the affairs of the CBC in the same inadequately examined and unresolved situa- tion. INSIDE YOU Bats In Belfry Can Be Killers By BURTON H. FERN, MD Those bats in your church belfry may be killers! They sometimes carry rabies --hydrophobia. So do other ani- mals like skunks, hogs, rats and foxes. Still healthy - looking, they wander into town looking for food, their salica spilling over with rabies viruses. One bite can inject millions of these viruses into you or your dog. Now Fido can spread his infected saliva around the neighborhood before he shows signs of sickness. You won't feel sick for a month or so unless you've had a giant dose in a ragged bite around your head or neck. Hy- drophobia germs usually rest up before attacking the brain. FIRST SYMPTOMS After a month or so, the old bite begins to tingle and burn. You fidget restlessly and fly off the handle at every little thing. Sweat soaks your bed- clothes, while tears pour down your face and saliva drools from your mouth. Swallowing tightens your throat into painful spasm. Just looking at food or drink makes you choke and gag -- "hydro- phobia' means 'fear of water". Eventually, nerve cells wear out and a fatal paralysis sets in--all within five days of that first tingling trouble. Rabies cant be cured. But 20 daily injections -- before the trouble starts -- can prevent it. Before giving shots which may have unwanted side ef- fects, the doctor would like to be certain that you were bitten by a mad animal. SHOULDN'T BE KILLED Don't go mad and kill the animal! Bring him back alive. It may be too early for lab- oratory tests to tell whether or not he has hydrophobia. A rabies-infected animal will die in a week or so and then laboratory tests can guide your doctor. Unless you were bitten on the neck you have plenty of time. PREVENTIVE MEASURES Prevent rabies! Stay away from wild, sluggish or excited drooling animals. Even healthy- looking specimens may be kill- ers. Protect your dog or cat with annual rabies shots. And why not get rid of those bats jp your barn or belfry! BYGONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO The Courtice family of Dar- i lington, held its 25th consecu- : tive family reunion picnic.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London {Eng For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- For once, the political parties are agreed that a course followed by the British government was the right one. When British troops were rush- ed into Kuwait, in response to an appeal by its ruler, to fore- stall an Iraqi threat to take over that small country, opposition leaders agreed that the govern- ment had taken the right course. Speaking at Bristol, Hugh Gaitskell, the Labor leader, said he approved the government's action. He said he did not see how Britain could have refused the appeal by the Kuwait ruler. Denis Healey, the Labor spokesman on foreign affairs, also said that the government had no alternative. He was hope- ful that the landing of British troops 'would prevent a war. These statements reflect very accurately public opinion on the Kuwait action. Indeed, there is general satisfaction that the in- tervention was made so prompt- ly and effectively. In a speech made to the For- eign Press Association in Lon- don, Lord Home, foreign secre- tary, expressed views which co- incide with the attitude of the whole of the British press and the public when he said: . "I hope people will take notice that when peace is threatened and the UN Charter violated, the British, even though they may have lost some of their old influence and power, can move with speed, expedition and. effi- ciency if the need arises." We have not noticed any indi- cation of disagreement with that view. Indeed, I can sense a feel- ing of pride that on this occa- sion Britain was ready and able to act with the speed and effi- ciency required to meet a dan- gerous situation. GAITSKELL ON TOP Hugh Gaitskell is now assur- ed of a sweeping victory on the issue of Labor's defence policy when it comes before the Labor Party conference in October Added to the labor unions which have decided to change their al- legiance from the unilateralist policy, and give their support to the official party line on de- fence are the National Union of Railwaymen and the National Union of Mineworkers. Both of these were on the side of the unilateralists last year. The conference of the railway- men, held at Edinburgh, defeat- ed by 39 votes to 37 a resolution that the union reaffirm their unilateral policy of last year. The National Union of Mine- workers, meeting at Rothesay, defeated a resolution supporting the unilateral policy by 417 votes to 199. With the accession of these unions to the official policy, in addition to others reported earlier, it looks as if Mr. Gait- skell will carry the annual con- ference on the defence issue by a majority of something like 2,500,000 votes. Support for the entry of Brit- ain into the European Common Market has come from the Asso- ciation of British Chambers of Commerce, wity more than 400 local associations throughout the country. After three days of dis- cussions in London, representa- tives of the 400 chambers de- clared Britain should be pre- pared to join the Common Mar- ket, subject to certain condi- tions. The conditions were sum- marized as follows: "Any solution should take into account the overall interests of both home agriculture and Com. monwealth exports of agricultur- al goods. In particular, every- thing should be done to see that as a result of any changes that become necessary the cost of food does not rise too much." LABOR UNDECIDED At the same time, at a meet- ing in Eastbourne, the leaders of 39 powerful unions could not make up their minds on the question of the Common Mar- ket. They argued for 90 minutes at the conference of the Con- federation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Unions. Finally, Bill Carron, president of the Amalgamated Engineer- ing Union, accepted a sugges- tion from the Trades Union Con- gress chairman, Ted Hill, not to have a vote on the question at all. Mr. Hill received a big cheer when he pleaded for the no decision approach, and said: "This issue is full of dyna- mite. A decision would only hamstring the TUC and the Labor party. There will be a meeting soon to decide our atti- tude once and for all." This would indicate that Labor leaders have not yet made up their minds as to whether it will be politically profitable and ex- pedient to give their support, or otherwise, on the question of Britain joining the Common Market. 4 FEARFUL OF BERLIN The British government takes a grave view of the possibility that the Berlin situation may ex- plode into a major international incident before the end of the year. This is the interpretation placed upon the decision of Prime Minister Macmillan to abandon his plans to visit Malaya and Japan in the fall of this year. Plans for this tour QUEEN'S PARK program, was laid off the shore in Lake Ontario. Oshawa Cadet Corps won many high honors at the an- nual cadet camp at Niagara-on- the-Lake. Ross McKinnon was appointed general sales manager for the Chevrolet Motor Car Co. of Canada. D. M. Tod returned home from attending a world Rotary tvntention in Edinburgh, Scot. and. George Everett, foreman of the McLaughlin Motor Car Co. trimming room, with 27 years of service, was honored with a presentation from his employee associates, prior to his depart- ure for Toronto. Rev. J. S. McMullen com- menced his new pastorate at South Oshawa Methodist Church. A heavy thunderstorm brought to an end a week's spell of tor- rid weather. The Town Council approved a proposal to extend the paving of King street west to Park Road, with the Provincial Gov- ernment paying 30 per cent of the cost. Economic Survey Bigger Than Ever By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--This year's edi- tion of the annual economic sur- vey of the province by the de- partment of economics is off the press. And greatly enlarged. There are 337 pages of it--and weight is about the same as a good size Eaton's catalogue. Part of the enlargement cov- ers a first-time venture--a his- tory of the province and its gov- ernment. There was some political re- luctance about tackling this--no two historians agree on history, let alone two politicians. But courage came to the fore. And the 65 pages devoted to the history seems to be a job well done. As usual the survey has col- umns of figures on population, manufacturing, tourism and many other topics. It is distributed by the de- partment of economics, Prov- ince of Ontario, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. And it costs you a $2 bill. GALLUP POLL Opinion Closely Divided On Religion In Schools By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION In spite of heated arguments flaring into violent controversy from time to time, Canadians have not changed their stand on whether or not religion should be taught in the schools. A third check on national opinion reveals these fact On the average, today, as in 1944, split of opinion is close. About five in ten want religion taught in the schools; about four in ten do not. Among Protestants, a major- ity object to the idea, and the situation is reversed, since about four in ten think it a good prac- Religion in Schools? Yes No Undecided 100% Protestants and Roman Catholics line up this way: Yes No Undecided Those who want religion in public schools think this "ssesssssesssnssesesannes esesssessssssennes ®esssscscssssssnssssnanene tice--opposed by a majority of just over five in ten. Roman Catholics are not wholly convinced of the need for religious instruction in Pub- lic schools, since about two in ten object. However, seven in ten endorse the principle. The question repeated for to- day's Teport: "Do you think that all publi schools should offer a course in religion or do you think they should leave this subject to the churches?"

It was directed to do this by ihe governmen.t And lord help This business impost is the most curious tariff in our whole Canadian tax structure. It dates from 1904 and is full of discrepancies. (Just one of them, a tavern pays 25 per cent, a distillery 125 per cent). Practically everyone has agreed for a long time that it should be cleaned up and per- haps scrapped altogether. But this would mean interfer- ing with municipal revenues. And nobody wants to do that. Other bodies have tackled the tax in the past. They got nowhere. Perhaps this committee will. But one can't have much hope. SCHEME NOVEL Another potential new devel- opment from the sometimes fabulous Ontario Research Foundation. It may have a new use for cheese whey. Whey at present is one of the main causes of pollution in our streams. The ORF has developed a process for converting the whey into high-protein feed. The catch is in getting it to a plant in shape to process. It is proposing that there be travelling plants--which would semi-process the product while enroute to a main factory. The travelling plants--large trucks--would call at cheese factories on a regular basis. were a ed some time ago, but in view of the Russian threats regarding Berlin, Mr. Macmillan stated that he "felt it his duty to remain in the country at that time'. Speaking at a Conservative meeting in Wiltshire, he made Britain's position clear. He said: "It is clear that we in his country and our allies, cannot countenance interference with allied rights in Berlin. It is the freedom of the two million West Berliners which is threatened . . . Let there be no mistake | This is an issue on which the peoples of the West are resolute. It is a principle which they will defend." How to Hear Better With or Without A Hearing Aid Do you know that by sitting in 8 certain part of a room you can hear better ?
