Page 6 Wednesday, August 16, 1961 Choice For Government On Jobless Payments of unemployment The study fnsurance fund ordered by Mr. Diefen- baker will be of little value if it does nothing more than point out the reasons for the fund's slide towards bankruptcy. There is a mass of evidence about the start and the speed of the slide. At its most prosperous stage, the fund balance was nearly $1 billion. By the time Finance Minister Fleming made his budget speech, it had declined to $267 million, including $67 million loaned by the government. During the past year the balance dropped $110 million. C.AL. Murchison, of Un- employment Insurance, told the CTém- director mons public accounts committee about the effect of changed regulations. At one time, seasonal regulations were in effect. A seaman on the Great Lakes works from April until some time in December; under the old regulations he did not qualify for unemployment insurance during the off-season because the fund was intended to cover "only those periods of unemployment which fall upon a person unexpectedly"; but can work through the and fall and obtain his payments during the now the sailor spring, summer unemployment Chewing At Whether we like it or not, man has passed a point of no return. We have become completely upon science and technology for our personal dependent and cultural survival." With Dr. Brown, professor of geachemistry at the California Institute of Technology, points up a fact that is true in North America as it is all over the world. Our earth is fast being picked clean of its na- tural resources. This may seem strange to Canadians, used to grandiose talk about "limitless resources," but the fact is our resources are not limitless and many of them are not renewable-- "When man linked inanimate energy to the machine in the eighteenth century, he began a fantastic revolution, a great cultural mutation," Brown says. During his first million years, man's was essentially a food gathering cul- ture. With the invention of agriculture, 6,000 years ago, man learned to provide for himself much more efficiently. Now the strides of man's technological a- chievements have made his world large- ly an industrial economy. "We are much closer to the beginning this second (industrial) revolution says Brown. these words, Harrison S. of than we are to its end, There was a time when man could pick up lumps of pure copper that he needed for tools right from the ground. But today he has taken all the pure copper from the earth's surface and all within his and mine- shafts under the ehrth. The man must now work harder, expend more more equipment to reach of drills prospects are serious because money and use process the same amount of raw mater- jals for industry. And industry's de- mands on the earth's dwindling resources are increasing steadily. "There is no doubt in my mind that barring a major world catastrophe, the world is destined at some point in time te be completely industrialized," Brown affirms. And even if the world were to pull its living standards up to those in the United States, "all the world's exist- Tye Ost wa Times C.

The same applies to other sea- sonal industries. R. Humphrys, assistant superintend= ent of the insurance division, produced figures to show the effect of the changed regulations. From April, 1957, to March 31, 1960, for example, fishermen re- ceived $26.7 million in benefits, while the contributions of fishermen, employ= ers and government amounted to $2.9 million. The logging industry in 1959 contributed $4,046,952 and drew out $30,289,000. Mr. Murchison noted that "married benefits without hav- the women may draw ing to show too ntuch interest in world of work," and that people retiring on pension - often substantial pensions - might draw payments for up to 76 weeks. Obviously, the fund is no longer an "insurance" fund, because it violates all insurance principles. What the study must indicate clearly is the choice before to re-vstablish the fund the government: to drop the on insurance principles, or "insurance" feature completely and es- tablish an outright welfare fund for the unemployed - for the honestly unemploy- ed. The Crust ing mines and factories would have to operate full time for over a century just to accomplish this miracle." But the problem is not quite so im- possible. Brown says that "the utlimate resources of energy (particularly solar and nuclear) available to man are enor- to power a highly literally mouse--sufficient industrialized society for millions of years. "Given adequate brain power and a reasonably stable political situation, man will ultimately be processing the very rocks of which the earth's crust is made." In his laboratories, Brown has found that an average hunk of granite con- tains about 4 parts per million of uran- jum and 15 to 20 parts per million of thorium. "These are indeed small quantities, yet the uranium and thorium in a ton of average granite contains the energy equivalent of about 50 tons of coal" To yield these materials from the rock, very little expenditure of energy . . . comparatively speaking .. 1s re- quired "We get the energy equal to 15 tons of coal at a cost of only one ton of coal, and this is a tremendous energy profit." Brown adds that other valuable metals this same can also be extracted from rock, all through advanced technology. Other Editor's Views DOLLAR EXCHANGE (Hamilton Spectator) S# far the exchange Stabilization Fund appears to have been used only to prevent too rapid a drop in the value of the Canadian dollar in New York. After Mr. Fleming's budget speech there has been a scurrying flight of capital from Canada, most of it presumably hot money, 'that knocked the Canadian dollar to a dis- count in a short time. It was a psy- chological movement and was' prob- ably all to the good. But Mr. Flem- ing's plan has still to be tested in the face of the regular buying and sell- ing dollars finance international transactions. It is still a whether the Canadian dollar laid down in face of these {ransactions. to gamble can he LIMITED WAR (Kingston Whig Standard) It happens by now that the United States has begun to think--at long last--that it is time to provide the fight weapons, limited war with conventional This means that we in Canada will probably give up the basic tenet of our military policy so far: the idea that any war in which we could possibly be involv- ed would be nuclear. capacity to Bible Thought The day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. -- I. 2 Thessalonians The Lord comes as ynexpectedly as a thief, but to God's people He gives in- stead of taking away.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For the Oshawa Times RUTLAND Rutland, the smallest county in England, has a fight for survival on its hands. And its people are taking up the challenge which has been pre sented to them in a report made by the Local Government Com- mission to the minister of hous- ing and loca! government. The report recommends to the minister that this lit{le county should be done away with as a unit of local administration, and merged in the neighboring coun- ty of Leicestershire. It gives the reason that Rutland is too small to take care of the needs of its 25,000 inhabitants in the modern welfare state. The commission's opinon is 'that what in the end matters most to people living in a county are the services that can be provided. Rutland, it claims, could make little head- way with the important changes in health, welfare and education that are coming in the next few years. TO BE CHALLENGED The minister of housing will now invite comments from the county. Leading citizens of Rut- land are prepared to fight back in the effort to retain their cher- ished county status. Before them they have the commission's report, Costs were too high and the standards of service too low for the people of Rutland, it says. It adds: "We believe that they would 'benefit from improved service, welfare, provision . for the and the care of children The record and ex- perience of other counties proves that it is. possible to achieve a form of administra- tion that is neither impersonal nor remote." Rutland's main claim to con- tinued independence, that by be- ing small it is keeping local particularly health, education, handicapped government truly local, did not impress the commission. FIGHT BEGINNING The people of Rutland have three months to marshal their objections for a public inquiry, But they are losing no time. The challenge has been taken up by Sir Kenneth Ruddle, chairman of Rutland County Council. He says: ; "The battle is just beginning, we shall fight this to the bitter end. These are monstrous pro- posals. We are country people here, and we do not like bein messed about by Whitehall. find it strange that a so-called local government commission should set out to destroy local government, for that is just what they are doing." OTHER PROPOSALS This is not the only change recommended by the Local Gov- ernment Commission. It pro- poses that Cambridgeshire and the Isle of Ely should be merged to become the adminis. trative 'county of Cambridge- shire. Huntingdon and the Soke of Peterborough should do the same, it proposes, under the title of Huntingdon and Peter- borough. Other changes recommend county borough status for the fast growing automobile town of Luton, and the widening of the present boundaries of Leicester and Northampton. But the one which will cause most bitter objection is that to extinguish the ancient county of Rutland.

FERN, MD You have io give up irritat- ing alcohol, tobacco and spices if you are plagued with a pep- tic ulcer. For alcohol, tobacco and spices whip up stomach acid production -- acid that burns through stomach-intestine lin- ing to carve out tiny sores. Normally, a shiny mucous coat protects the lining. When this flimsy shield can't hold back rivers of acid, an ulcer mushrooms. It grows as fresh acid eats away its sides and bottom. Anxious tension often trig gers nerves that whip up acid production. Acid pours out an- grily when irritating foods grate against stopach lining. HELP FROM FOOD Creamy foods neutralize acid, soothe pain and help ulcers heal. Six daily meals guaran- tee some pain-relieving food 'in the stomach all day. But no raw fruits or tables! They grate stomach lining A half-milk half-cream mix- ture can neutralize acid and relieve that gnawing ulcer. So can milky antacids like alum- inum hydroxide gel and mag- nesium trisilicate. If the uicer still for help. vour doctor will prescribe medicines to paralyze those acid-stimulating nerves, Tran- quilizers, sedatives and psychia- trists can often soothe the other end of these irritated nerves If, the ulcer bores through the intestinal vessel starting a gushing hemorrhage vou'll need emergency surgery vege- against cries SURGICAL TREATMENT The surgeon can also belp scarred ulcers stopping up the intestine. oozing blood continu- ously, or paining without let-up. He cuts away all acid-stimulat- ing nerve fibers as well as by- passing any block or removing most of the stomach. But no operation cures that mental stress which exploded into rivers of ulcer-gnawing acid. The real trouble can't be cut out on the operating table. It has to be talked out on the psychiatrists couch! PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM If porpoises are smarter than people, as a few scientists are beginning to believe, it isn't anything for them to brag ahout. According lo an unreliable re- port, a fellow townsman built a fall-out shelter in half of his basement and filled the other half with throwing-size rocks When asked why the rocks, he pointed out that Einstein said World War IV would be fought with rocks.
