' ~The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Monday, July 31, 1961 Effects Of Pesticides Need Thorough Research The Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph is a splendid institution with an international reputation. It is also an invaluable source of information for all those who till the soil, whether it be several hundred acres growing spe- cialized crops or a few square feet of backyard garden. From OAC comes a flood of printed material about all sorts of agricultural methods and problems. If you want to destroy the bug that chews on your roses, for example, or the spore that spoils your corn, OAC will tell you how. But we have watched in vain for an OAC dissertation on the dangers and disasters of unrestrained use of chemical pesticides, although we read a great deal about the benefits. This indicates the shocking disregard provincial -- and, indeed, national -- authorities for what is in fact developing into a critical situation. A terrible toll of wildlife is being taken each year by pesticides, simply because we have not bothered to find out how the chemicals can best be applied without serious dis- turbance of natural cycles. We are knocking the balance of nature out of kilter through ignorance, which is inex- cusable, because we should have learned long ago that we cannot disturb that balance without sooner or later paying far more to correct our mistakes than it would have cost us to be sensible in the first place. In the United Kingdom, the Minister of Agriculture, Christopher Soames, has called for a voluntary ban on the use of toxic chemicals in seed dressings in the UK. next spring. The purpose is to prevent the widespread destruction of birds and other wildlife. He told Com- mons: "The report of a survey made by his department) shows that the widespread occurrence of deaths (of wildlife) has been confined to springtime and that the main trouble could be obviated by not using dressings containing dieldrin, eldrin and heptachlor for spring sowings. Accordingly it has been agreed that from Jan. 1 next, these dressings will not be used at all for spring-sown grain, and they will only be used for dressing autumn and winter wheat where there is a real danger from wheat bulb fly." Conditions and methods vary between the UK. and Canada, but the effects of the chemicals are the same. A survey is needed here, followed by appropriate government action. People, Profit And Loss The concept of Canada as a young and growing country is so thoroughly established that it is a shock to dis- cover that in the first quarter of .this year the country lost through emigra- tion 14,000 people more than it gained through immigration. That is the es- timate of the Bank of Canada Statistical Summary. Since the Department of Immigration has stated that inflow in the period totalled 11,839 persons, it appears that outflow amounted to about 26,000. Historically, of course, from Canada is mainly to the United States. The Canadian government has no reason to make a record of emigra- tion but the American government has published the figure of 46,668 immigrant arrivals from Canada in the year ending June 30, 1960. The estimate of a first- quarter 14,000 loss in net migration that is, immigrant intake less emigrant outgo) may mean that emigration to the U.S. is about double what it was a few months ago. It seems unlikely that the returning home of recent ar- Cynicism ynicism Of The cynicism that underlies Com- munist outcries against "imperialism" and Communist offers of aid to the "victims" of the "capitalist countries" is being revealed again, in the Congo. Still, only the naive or the inexperience will be surprised by the offer of Communist help to the Katanga secessionist regime. emigration Katanga leaders were among the targets of Soviet charges of imperialism in the Congo when the United Nations operation there was in grave danger less than a year ago. In those days the Soviet Union supported Patrice Lu- mumba -- who was murdered in Ka- tanga, -- and raised a tremendous fuss in the UN about his imprisonment and death. There was so much of a fuss that the very existence of the UN seemed threatened. Lumumba and his supporters were trying to impose a strong central govern- ment over the entire Congo.

It is unfortunate that submission to Parliament of a revised Immigration Act, expected in late spring, has been so long delayed. The whole question of immigration and emigration needs thorough review, particularly if the pros- pect is that we are to go on suffering loss of population in this field. It has been forecast that the govern- ment's official policy will be to restrict the entry to Canada of other than highly-skilled workers. But such a policy assumes a growth of industry, particu- larly of manufacturing, that would re- quire and would absorb such workers. However, manufacturing has not Leen expanding the number of jobs. In fact, the sharp increase in emigration likely results from a lack of job opportunities here for highly-qualified industrial per- sonnel. The solution to the problem, then, lies beyond immigration regula- tions and starts with government taxa- tion and trade policies that will revive the expansion of manufacturing, The Soviet trying to do this not merely provisional- ly, as had been originally agreed among the Congolese leaders, but permanently. This aim was supported by the Com- munists -- and was bitterly opposed by men like Katanga's Tshombe. Other leaders, like Congo President Kasavubu, were aiming at a federal system, which appeared as a reasonable compromise between the Lumumba and Tshombe positions. This effort for a federated Congo continues, against the constant opposition of Katanga leaders and with only the grudging interest of Antoine Gizenga, the political heir of Lumumba at Stanleyville. The Russians suffered a sharp set- back on the first attempt to intervene in the Congo and "capture" the govern- ment. Now they obviously think they have another opportunity, with the re- calcitrance of Tshombe. So far as Moscow is concerned, the question of support of this or that Congolese leader has less to do with whether he might or might not to be a tool of imperialists than whether he might be counted on to keep things in a tumoil. The Russians may aid the "imperialistic" Tshombe with one hand, and the "leftist" Gizenga with other -- but whatever they do, it will be for the Russians and not for the Congolese.

Mcintyre Hood Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The Common- wealth Scholarship and Fellow- ship Plan, which had its birth ' at the economic conference held OTTAWA REPORT Financial Policy Sharply Attacked Patrick Nicholson is om vacation. His guest colum- nist today is Dr. W. H. Mec- Millan, Liberal MP for Welland, Ont. In seeking election our prime minister said: "The Liberals say they cannot raise pensions and reduce taxes--give us a chance and we will show you." They got the chance--what did they show us? They have raised more taxes and gone into debt more than any other government in our peacetime history. True, they raised the old age pension, but in doing so, increased the special income and sales taxes over twice the amount required for this raise. This does not ap- pear in budget calculations. The last Liberal government left our country with a $400,000 daily surplus but the present government soon switched that surplus into a $2,000,000 daily deficit. This staggering daily accumulating deficit comes from over-spending in the current ac- count, along with the depletion in other government accounts. This extra debt added by this government far exceeds our cost of the First World War, twice- over. Why do we have huge deficits year after year? A very large part of it is due to extra charges on our debt. By the end of this fiscal year this government will have handed the taxpayers an extra bill of $800,000,000, mostly interest. A lot of money indeed-- erough to build two St. Lawr- ence Seaways or five Welland Canals at the time of its con- struction. This extra interest adds to our debt as the govern ment must borrow to pay it. How long could you borrow to pay interest on interest? QUEEN'S PARK Cowling Attacks Sopha's Proposal By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Our old friend Alfred H. Cowling, best-dressed man in the legislature from onto High-Park, most dignified man in the legislature from Toronto High-Park, most wise man in the legislature from Tor- onto High-Park, and man in the legislature most never at a loss for words, has been shedding some more of his pearls of wis- dom and judgment. This time the pearls are de- signed to maintain the present and future good health of the in- surance business, having been delivered to the select commit- tee on automobile insurance, of which Mr. Cowling is a member, as he seems to be of most com- mittees. As is usually the case when his most valuable gems are de- livered, Mr. Cowling on this oc- casioii was {angling with the op- position. DESERVES MEDAL' More specifically, he was tan- gling with Liberal Elmer Sopha of Sudbury which, in itself shows Mr. Cowling deserves a gold medal for bravery even more than Mr. Coyne. (Mr. Sopha, though better than a country-hand at grabbing a headline, also usually talks at least close to sense. And as an experienced courtroom lawyer he can wither those foes who are rash enough to think that a debating strength learned speak- ing from the government back benches can stand up to him.) Mr. Sopha had proposed that the number of insurance com- panies might be cut down. He said this would cut administra- tion costs and tend to lower the cost of insurance generally. Mr. Cowling indignantly re- plied to this: "Why you couldn't do that. We shouldn't reduce the number of anything. That's the way we grow and progress. Would you advocate cutting down the num- ber of lawyers?" Mr. Cowling, of course, is an insurance agent and Mr. Sopha is a lawyer. (That non-reducing theory cer- tainly doesn't apply to debts. It has been our approach for a number of years. And the only growth and progress has been in the overdraft.) There is a wise-angle to the insurance business today which hasn't come before the commit- tee yet, but which well may. This is the insistence of some companies on paying small claims--even when the insuree demands that they don't. This, of course, is at least a first cousin to sharp practice. For the insuree is immediately rated up--sometimes more in the first year than the amount of the claim paid. That this is becoming ac- cepted as standard practice is to be taken from the reported remarks of a spokesman for one of the major auto companies: He said: "We refuse to be conned into exorbitant claims, but demand to pay a proper claim." The troubles started with the : conversion loan. You will recall ' that the prime minister and minister of finance launched it on television. They said it would . mean bigger and better jobs, i and, as a result, the provinces, municipalities and e v e r y body i would borrow money cheaper. : Did you see cheaper money or | bigger jobs? I predicted, as has resulted, that it would mean fewer jobs, dearer money and that your taxes would increase if your municipality borrowed money to build a new school, sewer or road. When this government came to power the average interest on our debt was slightly under three per cent. In the conversion loan campaign they pleaded with people and paid them bo- nuses to convert their three per cent Victory Bonds, not yet due, to 4% per cent bonds. For ex- ample, the government paid a bonus to $1,000 bondholders to accept $45 instead of $30 inter- est each year. If you had a mortgage on your home or farm and went to the mortgageholder before it was due and offered to pay him much higher interest, he would think you were "nuts" but would be willing to rewrite the mort- gage. Most Victory bondholders were amazed but gladly ac- cepted the minister's offer. The conversion loan and subsequent high borrowing by the minister so unsettled the bond market that those 4% per cent bonds fell to 82. Before the conversion loan Canadian bonds were regarded among the best securities in the world. After that they fell in price to sell among the lowest in the world, even lower than those of Cuba in revolution at that time. The long delayed budget has just arrived showing more defi- cit of $650,000,000. There is little in the budget to provide jobs, or the faintest hope for lower taxes. The Unemployment Insurance Fund is almost bankrupt and, on the fourth anniversary of this government assuming power, our dollar was plunging down in foreign markets. That day, branches of our chartered banks abroad did not have enough confidence to trade in our money.

At that time, be- tween 200 and 250 students and scholars from all parts of the Commonwealth will be register- ing at Canadian universities for two-year courses. They will be going to Canada under the aus- pices of this large-scale Com- monwealth educational venture, Ten of the scholars going to Canadian universities will be from the United Kingdom. They will all be graduates of British universities. The others will be drawn from graduates of col- leges and universities in all parts of the Commonwealth, and will be students of varying colors, races and creads. The opportunity is wide open to all students. The terms of the scholarship awards are: "The awards will be made to persons of high intellectual promise who may be expected to make a significant contribu- tion to life in their own coun- tries on their return from stud- ies overseas." TERMS OF AWARDS The Canadian awards, provid- ed by the government of Can- ada, include travel costs, tui- tion fees and living expenses. Married students whose wives accompany them receive a mar- riage allowance. British universities will be re- ceiving a similar quota of about 250 students under the plan. The organizers of the scheme, under which more than 1,000 scholars will eventually receive awards, hope that it will "deep- en the ties that hold the Com- monwealth together by increas- ing mutual understanding and mutual respect."

MD Shocking! A "rum nose" lead- ing the annual temperance pa- Taac! Don't be shocked. Even soft drink fans suffer rosacea --- an acne-like rash with a red, bulb- like nose. Unlike ordinary acne, few white and blackheads dot this rash, which never spreads to the sides of the face. At first, the nose reddens as you'd ex- pect in freezing weather, except that the weather isn't freezing. Soon bumps and blisters rumple the sides and tip above each nostril. Sometimes gnarled lumps of knotty flesh sprout be- side blistery bumps. Bulging blood vessels speckle the surface like blushing baby spiders, for rosacea stems from blood vessels bulging out of control. CAUSE UNCERTAIN No one can pinpoint the exact cause. Perhaps oily dandruff greases the way. The red nose could be a con- stant hot flush coming with change of life. Nervous tension might tangle these blood ves- sels, Could vitamins be lacking? Rosacea often. strikes when stomach acid runs dry. The rosacea - sufferer finds himself up to his nose with remedies, but none work all the time. Generally, you'll have to pass up steaming soups and hot drinks -- especially coffee, tea and chocolate. No hot toddies, either! Heat, caffeine and alcohol make noses blush! Ketchup and mustard must go. Spices pepper your nose. Toss out every shakerful of iodized salt. Plain salt must go. GOOD FOR YOU You'll thrive on vegetables, salads and extra vitamin B or brewer's yeast. Wind, sand and sun irritate, roughen and redden rosacea noses. Keep your nose clean! Wash only with white soap and lukewarm water. Pat dry. Wiping rubs in new inflamma- tion, DOCTOR'S PRESCRIPTIONS Even when your stomach's teeming with acid, your doctor will probably prescribe extra drops before each meal. He can choose from dry ice or X-ray treatments, electrolysis or even surgery to carve out your pretty profile. Eventually, all this should soak off that "rum nose' label and you can once again sparkle like champagne!
