Fhe Oshawa Tones Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 : Radioactivity Figures Do Not Tell The Story The Ontario Department of Health is issuing a daily reading on radioactive fallout in Metropolitan Toronto. The reading represents "the amount of fall- out in disintegrations per minute per cubic metre of air". The department has also produced a list of earlier read- ings, from which we learn that while the figure for Sept. 13 was .33, on Sept. 16 it was 261. What. this sort of thing accomplishes we don't know, principally because we do not understand what the figures mean. All we gather is that there was a lot more fallout in Metropolitan Tor- onto on Sept. 16 than there was on Sept. 13 and even so there are some reservations, because it has been carefully explained by scientists at Ot- tawa and Toronto that variations in wind currents could make the figures vary almost from street to street. We are not alone in our puzziement, however. The scientists themselves cannot agree on what the figures mean in relation to public health, and when pinned down, they are forced to admit that they do not know. They cannot know, because there is an insufficient body of fact on which to build sound conclusions. They can only theorize. And their theorizing seems to be strong ly influenced either by their personal convictions or their conditions of employ- ment. Dr. Linus Pauling, Nobel prizewinner in chemistry, declares that current Soviet tests will increase, by five to 10 per cent, the amount of damage caused to human beings by all nuclear tests up to the end of 1958. Dr. P.M. Bird, of the federal health department's radiation protection division, says that most of the radioactivity in Toronto would disappear quickly, leaving long- lived radioactivity close to normal levels. What is obviously necessary is a much more strenuous research effort to find out about the effects of radioactivity, and then the scientists may have to take refuge in gobbledygook. Importance Of Children BY THE REV. WARREN G. DICKSON, BA President, Oshawa Ministerial Assoc. There are three great influences that enter into the education of every child, the Home, School and the Church, in- cluding the Sunday School. The greatest resources than any nation possesses are not its supplies of water power, its mineral resources etc. but its boys and girls. Our Master said "The greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven is just a little child". The first education a child receives is in his home. What a marvellous oppor- tunity parents have of teaching the basic moral law to their children and telling them about Him who said: "Suffer little children to come unto Me"! In the public schools the child is taught the laws, the rules and the regulations which govern this marvellous universe which God has made. He is introduced gradually to some of the finest minds of the world in the realm of literature, art, philosophy etc. In the Sunday Schools and Churches the child is told of the basic Christian and Hebrew con- cepts of moral worth. He is introduced to the great leaders of the Hebrew people in the Old Testament and he learns how God uses dedicated men for His own honor and glory. In the New Testament he is told of One who in Luke 2:52 we read: "Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man". That is the basis of all education in the home, in the schools, in the Sunday Schools. We seek to develop the child in the fourfold man- ner, intellectually, physically, socially and spiritually. It is for this reason that we are all striving and hoping for the success of Open House This is YWCA Week across Canada, and once again residents of Oshawa and district are invited to visit the "Y" on Simcoe street south. Activities and programs for the coming Fall season are now getting underway, and every- one is invited to drop in and look around, to find out what goes on at their YWCA, and to meet members who will be "At Home" all week, but especially on the evenings of September 26 and 27.

Edgar Hoover, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation says: "I would like to pay tribute to the thousands of loyal mer: and women who are serving un- selfishly as teachers in our Sunday Schools. We in law enforcement look upon them as companions-in-arms in the fight against crime. The Sunday School teachers want the nation's chil- dren to be honest, truthful and unselfish. The Sunday School is a citadel of real spiritual influence." The Sunday School teaches the power of prayer and the need to make God an intrinsic part of our daily lives. The Sunday School teaches the child "To rule his spirit" and to place a reliance upon God that shall not be shaken in the anxious days through which we are passing. Youngsters come to know that God asks more than mere lip service to His Commandments; that He asks us to live under His Guidance and Love. On behalf of the Oshawa Ministerial Association, I wish Church and School Week every success. May all the church- es represented by the Ministerial Asso- ciation, through their Sunday Schools, faithfully teach and serve the children who come to them in the spirit of Him who came to the world as a little child. Our prayer is that every boy and girl who attends the public schools" in our city of Oshawa may go during church and school week, to the Sunday school of his or her own choice, and continue going throughout the fall and winter months. During this week and succeed- ing weeks, may every School in our city have overflow enrolments. At YWCA The YWCA is a community-supported organization created by citizens to meet community needs. Local persons carry the responsibility for the policies govern- ing their Association, and are account- able to their membership and their com- munity for the quality of the programs and services provided. The programs visitors will see and hear about at the YWCA are planned with the advice and help of local board and committee members, and many of the groups are led by volunteers from the community. Working in partnership with them are professional staff persons, qualified for their job by commitment to the Christian purpose of the YWCA as well as by professional training and personality. When anyone enrols in an activity at their local YWCA she becomes a mem- ber and has a share in planning the programs, too, She also becomes part of a national and world-wide Christian membership movement, sharing in the great exchange of ideas and ideals from four corners of the earth. When you visit the "Y", you may talk with a club leader or see a group of would-be artists at work. You will also meet people who, through creative use of their leisure time, are having fun acquiring new skills, stretching their minds, and learning to become more effective members of their community. Today, our communities must help train young people to think and act for themselves, to work with -- and for -- others. OF I Evie or COURSE HL # : > ; THE REASONS LOOK SMALL OTTAWA REPORT - Mark Canadians' Economic Growth PATRICK NICHOLSON The number of Canadian mil lonaires rose by 119 in the la- test year surveyed by our fed- eral tax authorities. A dollar millionaire is com- monly defined on Wall Street as one whose income represents at least the typical earnings of 5 per cent on a million dollars. Thus an increase of $50,000 marks a man--or woman--as having achieved that sought- after financial status. Last year 3,057 Canadians paid tax on in- comes of $50,000 or more, and therefore ranked as million- aires. A record total of 4,242,490 Ca- nadians earned sufficient income to be assessed for individual in- come tax in 1959; and the aver- age income of all such taxpay- Jaw 44, Barrie 53, Woodstock and Nanaimo, B.C., equal as 54. In interesting contrast to these ratings by total community . wealth are the average income for all taxpayers in each com- { munity. For example, taxpayers in Sarnia enjoy an average ine i come of $4,660, which is the sec. : ond highest average income in | Canada and just $95 behind The ers in that year rose to the rec- ord level of $4,113. The total income of all taxpay- ers living in a community is an accurate yardstick of its wealth as a market. Thus Toronto, whose 603,529 taxpayers enjoyed an aggregate income of $2,606,- 300,000 in 1959, was our richest market that year. It was fol- lowed by Montreal, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Ottawa, Edmonotn, Calgary, Quebec City and London, Ont., in that order. Judged by the same measure- ment of total taxed incomes, the Lakehead cities of Port Arthur and Fort William together rank as Canada's 17th wealthiest com- munity, Oshawa rates number 21, Sarnia 24, Guelph 30, Wel- land 35, Cornwall 39, Chatham 40, Galt 42, Timmins 43, Moose QUEEN'S PARK Frost Preaches Value Of Money By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Premier Frost is making quite a number of speeches these days. And there is one point he is making in them which is wel- come. "Money does not grow, on trees," is the way he expresses it. DO SERVICE When he was speaking at the official opening of the Ontario Hospital Services Commission building, Mr. Frost made this point with a bit of an apology. Perhaps, he said, he might be permitted to bring this up "at this stage of my political life." If he continues to bring it up, this stage of his political life could be one of the most valu- able. OUT FOCUS Over the years Mr. Frost has from time to time given remind- ers that money does not grow on trees. But, being an active politi- cian, he has not stressed this. And being an active politician in the biggest spending times in our history he has not stressed it nearly enough for our own good. And neither has any other politician. And the result, of course, is that we have grown quite out of focus on the way we throw money around. In fact most politicians them- selves seem to have the idea that money grows on trees. COMMON SENSE? Mr. Frost has been one who has been quite conscious all 2long that it doesn't. And now that he won't have to worry about support of the polls much longer, perhaps he will be able to continue a valu- able service in pointing this out. In this same speech he said that in the future we will have to be "selective about the things we do." Further, he said: 'There are many things which we would like to do, but which in all com- mon sense we should have to do without if we are to keep our taxes within manageable lim- its." WON'T TALK This means that we should carefully decide whether it is common sense to build elabor- ate "frill" schools. Whether all the swimming pools and audi- toriums are necessary. Whether we need big city halls and elaborate court houses. In all cases of spending, in fact, whether we absolutely need what is being talked about. It is quite unlikely that the politicians themselves will ever talk about these things. And an elder statesman such as Mr. Frost can do a great service in keeping them before the public. Soo. Yet with only 17,270 tax. payers, Sarnia's total wealth rates below that of the Lake- head, which had 31,193 taxpay- ers enjoying Canada's 32nd high. est average annual income of $4,057. Saskatchewan leads Canada in one significant statistic: more farmers pay taxes and earn more money in that province than in any other. In 1959, 20,611 Saskatchewan farmers earned a total of $81,874,000, just nosing out Ontario's 18,809 taxpaying farmers who together earned $78,996,000 and Alberta's 16,759 farmers who earned $75,206,000. But in both Alberta and Ontario, the farmers together paid more tax than those in Saskatchewan. More fishermen in B.C. paid income tax than in all other parts of Canada together. In B.C. 2,685 fishermen earned an average of $4,501 each. In PEI. by contrast, only 32 fishermen earned enough income to be- come liable to income tax, and their average income was $2,375, CANADA'S PROGRESS The economic advance of Can- ada is vividly shown by the growth of our taxation figures over recent years. In 1959, twice as many Cana- dians enjoyed incomes between $4,000 and $10,000 as four years earlier; twice as many enjoyed incomes exceeding $10,000 as six years earlier; and the total of 4,242 490 income tax payers coms pares with only half that nume ber who earned enough to be liable to tax in the first post- war year. The federal government must be very happy that Canada's prosperity is such that the yield from the income tax in 1959 was more than seven times the yield in the free-spending war year of 1941, and more than three times the yield in that year of post- war contentment, 1950. INSIDE YOU Battle Continues Against 'Staph' By BURTON H. FERN, MD HER BOILS had healed but neighbors still avoided her like the plague. They were afraid of staphylococcus --dot-like germs nicknamed "staph". Staph germs have spread through hospitals, settling on walls, furniture, bedding -- even on doctors and nurses, Constant- ly exposed to various germ-kill- ers, hospital staph have become immune to most. Scientists have to huff and puff as they race to discover new germ - killers before staph- resistance mushrooms. Smolder- ing staph have exploded into a red-hot blaze on surgical and maternity floors. Today, everyone entering new- born nurseries is checked for staph -- even the window wash- ers. Anyone found harboring staph is quickly deported. Babies are weighed less often in case the scale turns into a staph carrier. MANY PRECAUTIONS In many tiled operating rooms everyone wears a mask -- even the patient! When changing bandages, scrubbed fingers can still infect open wounds. And so doctors and nurses often wear plastic gloves that are burned after use Hospital staph are slowly spreading throughout the com- munity. Almost one person in three carries these hard-to-kill germs around town. Other germs are also learn- ing to live with antibiotics. A few have grown so fond of these drugs they can't live with- out them. Not ever staph is hard to kill. A few shots of penicillin can still wipe out many staph infections. CURED BY ANTIBIOTICS Warm friendships needn't cool because of healed boils. These healed! Antibiotic .germ-killers were able to erase the boiling staph germs. Think of all the healthy persons carrying tough hospital staph! Fight staph infections before they start. A soapy washcloth can rub out most staph germs. Mouthwash and gargle can kill staph in your mouth and throat. Plenty of fresh air, rest and exercise, along with a diet chock full of vitamins and min- erals, can keep resistance up so that staph can't get you down. STILL SEARCHING Doctors are still searching for the solution that can drown this staph problem. The new penicillins should help for a while. Perhaps a staph vaccine is the answer Meanwhile, the hospital staff continues to- battle hospital staph! READERS' VIEWS Atomic Defence For Canadians ' Dear Sir: Many members of Parliament, groups and individuals (and from your editorials I get the impression that you agree with them) are dead set against the arming of Canadian forces with nuclear weapons. The claim is that by putting nuclear war- heads in the missiles which we will use only to defend our- selves from aerial attack, we will somehow become a satellite of the United States and some- how .increase the danger of war by increasing the size of the "nuclear club". This is arrant nonsense. The threat to peace is obvious. It does not come from Canada or the United States or Great Bri- tain. It comes only from Com- munist Russia. Who stands in the way of Russian aggression? Principally the United States? What would be one of the logi- cal routes of Russian attack on the United States? Across Can- ada. Therefore, whether we like it or not, we are involved. If Rus- sia decides to attack, all our protestations of neutrality will be of no avail - about as useful as Belgium's attempt to be neu- tral in 1914 and 1939. So, we, too, will be attacked If the anti-nuclear weapon crowd has its way, we will be defending ourselves with pea- shooters. Oshawa J. B. Jones JOBS DISAPPEAR Dear Sir: I may not be right in my way of expressing my opinion, but this is the way I feel. It has always been said that a person with a trade and a licence that will verify that he is capable of doing a particular trade has a better chance of a job. Well, to me this is almost 75 per cent false. My husband worked for one garage man for roughly 13 years until the owner had to give up this business for health reasons. Now while he was working for this fellow for so long he did not receive top wages but he did have a steady income, which was paid even if he was off sick, which I believe was roughly two weeks in that length of ti . Now my beef is this. While he was work- ing for this garage, different men in the same business were always after him to work for them, offering him a big raise in pay with all the trimmings. Since the garage was closed two vears ago, my husband has tak- en a couple up on their offers. Work there was on a percent- age basis and day after day he would go to work and at night it was all he could do to walk into the house. The trouble was that such a low price was put on labor that you would have to work like a fool to make any money. While he was at the last gar- age, I had a nervous break- down and was in hospital for three months. While I was in there he had to board our five children and put our furniture in storage. Through all this we lost our new house in which we had $2000 invested, our life sav- ings. When I left hospital, we rented an apartment in Oshawa which was fine for space but on a third floor, with no backyard for the children, so we rented an old house in bad need of re- pair, which we fixed up. Then my husband had an accident which kept him off work for three months. During this time we lived on welfare. Then he went back to work but at the end of two weeks he hadn't even made enough to pay our rent. Then he was laid off, and now we are waiting for UI, What I would like to know Is, where are all the garage owners with the good pay and trim- mings gone to? Or better still where can a metal finisher with his licence and five children get a job to pay the rent and other expenses?
