She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. Bs Oshawa, Ontario MONDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1961 -- PAGE 6 Court Ruling Damages Labor Relations Act The dismay of organized labor in Ontario over the magistrate's decision in Royal York strike case is understand- able. To a layman, the ruling is incom- prehensible. Magistrate Elmore found that the hotel's action in dismissing 600 strikers did not contravene the Labor Relations Act, because there is no section of the act "specifically giving the right to strike." Labor Minister Daley disagreed with the magistrate, and so did several eminent legal authorities, including members of the law faculty at the University of Toronto. Premier Frost commented that the right to strike is a common law right determined by case law over a number of years, and in drawing up the Labor Relations Act there had been no at- tempt to codify the common law. It is reassuring that he has said "on the basis of the results (of an appeal of the magistrate's verdict), whatever legisla- tion necessary would be framed." Certainly the verdict cannot be allow- ed to stand without challenge, and if upheld, the necessary legislation must be designed to remove this denial of an acknowledged right of labor. Strike procedure is at the very heart of the Labor Relations Act, and the magis- trete's verdict places the whole Act under question, something that could have only the most regrettable -- indeed, dangerous -- effect on the course of labor relations in the province. The verdict should do more than spur the Attorney-General to associate his department with an appeal; it should inspire some deep thinking about which matters which are best handled (to be- gin with, at least) in magistrate's court, and which should proceed immediately to a higher tribunal. Are magistrates competent to deal with the specialized area of law in labor relations? We doubt if more than a few are qualified for such an intricate task. Hospital Dollar Split Statistics are rarely anything but dull. The Ontario Hospital Services Commis- sion, however, has managed to produce gwome with wide general interest. For example: If you were an average patient (there may be such a creature) in an average public general hospital in Ontario last year, the employees of the hospital spent a total of 12.4 hours every day working directly on your behalf. Salaries and wages for those employees represented 65 cents out of every dollar it cost the hospital to serve you. The drugs and medical and surgical supplies used in your treatment cost eight cents of each dollar, food was six cents and the re- maining 21 cents covered everything else (linen, laundry, light, heat, depre- ciation, interest and so on). Only four cents of our dollar were required for administration of the hospital, apart from salaries and wages. These figures are revealed in the annual report just issued by the OHSC. The five most prevalent reasons for admittance to active treatment and convalescent hospitals were: maternal deliveries, accidents, poisonings and violence; diseased tonsils and adenoids; complications of pregnancy; female diseases. In 1960, accidents, poisonings and violence supplanted diseases of the tonsils and adenoids as the second major reason for Seeking admittance to hospital. The figures show why there is a constant province-wide need for more hospital accommodation. A total of 948, 374 adults and children were under care during 1960 in all hospitals of the province (public, private, federal, and nursing homes temporarily approved by the Commission to provide care for the chronically ill). This was an crease of 4.2 per cent over 1959. These patients used 11,555,922 days of care, or 5.8 per cent more than in the previous year. in- Capitalists In Russia During his marathon "speech from the throne" last week, Premier Khrushchev again dilated on the wonderful times which lay just ahead for the people of the Soviet Union and other countries in the Communist empire -- including, presumably, the East Germans, who are so enraptured by the prospect of easy living in the Red Utopia-to-be that they risk their lives to get out of the country into the decadence of the West. Anyhow, Khrushchev's argument is that the sheer efficiently and general yummy-yum goodness of Communism will convert "everybody, everywhere to the gospel according to Marx (and especially Khrushchev ). Well, it might just work the other way. Experienced observers who have visited Russia report that "capitalistic" practices are increasingly common there. A Milwaukee Journal editor, for example, tells of standing in the markets of Moscow and other Russian cities and watching farmers sell produce they raised themselves -- produce superior in quality to that sold in government stores or in the collective farm markets.

Khrushchev himself reported that he met a truckload of people near Kiev who had driven to Byelorussia, 600 miles away, where they had made a profit selling apples they had raised themselves. Shades of Lenin! Home building is another area of pri- vate enterprise and profit. About 15% of all new homes in rural areas were privately built between 1954 and 1960, and 32% of the homes in cities between 1957 afd 1959. The government helped provide credits for some of them. But others were built -- some with many more than the seven rooms the - law allows -- with funds provided by rich bureaucrats. They are rented to provide more profits. A lucrative field for private enter- prisers is that of expediting shipments of parts and raw materials. Government factories hire them to find required goods and materials outside the alloca- tion channels of the planners -- do it of necessity to meet quotas and assure directors of bonuses. Such an expediter is called "tolkach" or "fixer" and often operates much as industrial black mark- eteers did here during World War II. They are experts at "blat" -- the graft system of providing favors for favors. Other Editors' Views COURAGE NEEDED (Saskatoon Star-Phoenix) Admitted, grounds for divorce present tricky problems, but even the religious groups which wish to maintain respect for the institution of marriage must find it difficult to,present evidence that the present system of anomalies and confu- sions is doing it. It takes courage to tackle a problem around which clusters so much controversy. But a government which accepts the responsibility of gov- erning a country and which has faced other issues requiring more courage, surely can come up with solutions which 'will be acceptable. SIMPKINS ' READERS' VIEWS " Strong Protest On Zone Change A LITTLE BIT EACH WEEK NOT MISSED OTTAWA REPORT Russ Population Of Banks Grows By PATRICK NICHOLSON Russian fishermen have larg- ely taken over the lush ocean harvesting off the coast of New- foundland, and they are cleverly and _ scientifically developing new fisheries there. Statistics on the record, and the strolling foreign fishermen on St. John's' famed Water Street, tell of the change which has come over the northwest At- lantic fishery. As our children read in their history books, John Cabot found in 1497 that "the sea around New Found Land is swarming with fish." Fish attracted the settlers, and the sea became their way of life... "calling, always calling them, loudly along a thousand miles of surf- washed coastline, echoingly up a hundred resounding fiords that search out the very heart of the land, but calling, always calling its sons away to the fishing grounds." That was how the famed Quebec historian, Colonel William Wood, described New- foundland before that island en- tered the Canadian Confedera- tion. But now, it seems, the Cana- dian type of welfare state is calling the sons of Newfound- land away from the sea. Fish- ing is still the leading industry of the island, in number of per- sons employed; but that number has dropped sharply and is still dropping. Of 450,000 total popu- lation, only 18,432 are now re- corded as fishermen, with an- other 2,664 men and women em- ployed in fish processing plants. SHORTAGE OF CREWS Newfoundland fishing ships are reported as having to sail to Nova Scotia to complete their crews there. But this year Russians out- number Newfoundland fisher- men three to two, as- their huge modern and scientifically equipped fleet both catches and processes fish on the Grand Banks and in deeper waters. There are an estimated 1,200 vessels operating in the North- west Atlantic fishery this year. Nearly 200 are Russians, crewed by over 25,000 men and women. Traditionally, there are. some 3,000 Spanish fishermen in nearly 100 ships; a slightly smaller Portuguese fleet, and a slightly smaller French fleet. There are even Norwegian and Faroese fishermen working long- lines in place of the more usual but more costly trawls. Recent newcomers to the New- foundland fishing grounds are the Russian fleet, and fleets from Poland and West Ger- many. Their trawlers are often modern ships, much larger than the Newfoundland trawlers, and better equipped. NEW HARVEST CAUGHT Using Sonar devices, such as navies now use in hunting enemy submarines, they locate schools of fish and alter course to catch them; they fish in very deep wa- ter, using heavy trawls in which they catch redfish -- and of course our trans-Atlantic tele- phone and telegraph cables. There were said to be 72 diffe- rent breakages in those cables last year; how many were acci- dental and how many were de- liberate sabotage, officials neither know nor will publicly guess. Codfish is traditionally caught on the Grand Banks, where the water is shallow and in traps by Newfoundland's inshore fisher- men. The new Russian technique of fishing in deeper waters is yielding them abundant catches of redfish, sometimes called rose fish. This is marketed in Canada in the form of frozen fillets under the name Ocean Perch. This has ousted haddock from second place in weight of landings of caught fish in Canada, while cod still holds first place here. The Russians do not land their catch, they transfer it to huge factory ships, up to 15,000 tons in size, where it is filletted and frozen or salted for shipment to Rus- sla. In Newfoundland one hears considerable resentment about the enlarged foreign invasion, al- though of course these ships all keep outside the three - mile limit of Canadian waters. But one also hears the smarter sug- gestion that a 'free shore', sim- ilar to the old French shore, should be established, where foreign fishermen could land without formalities to dry or process their catch -- and to spend money in Newfoundland, INSIDE YOU Diversions Help Hot-Flush Nerves By BURTON H. FERN, MD Do theughts of hot flashes make your shiver? Then you believe those Old Wives' tales about change of life. Old wives never tell these tales. They know better; they've been through the. change. It's natural health protec- tion. At 75, you won't have to rush off for weekly pre-natal checkups, or worry about that 2 a.m. bottle. When you're 45 or 50, the pit- uitary gland "turns off" both ovaries. As egg cell production grinds to a halt, menstrual flow becemes irregular, scanty and finally stops. During this slowdown some egg cells mature. Properly fer- tilized, any one of them can mushroom into a new baby. BALANCE UPSET Changing hormone production upsets the body's delicate bal- ance. Irritated nerves relax blood vessels one minute, squeeze them dry the next. As warm blood gushes into vessels beneath the skin, you feel like a steam bath -- hot and a ee a ae dripping wet. Even though this hot flish quickly fades, it may strike again any time. Most hot flushes are mild. Se- vere flushes can jangle any- one's nerves -- especially if igh worried about growing old! She's usually struggling with church fairs, charity bazaars, community organizations and a house full of teenagers, too. The change can be the final straw that breaks this she-cam- el's back. PROBLEMS ARE HEAVY You face heavy problems. Un- less you cut calories, your waist- line will swell as energy re- quirements shrink. Don't blame gland trouble -- unless you mean those salivary glands that make your mouth water at the very thought of food. Vacations, excursions, diver- sions all help quiet jangled nerves. Few women need medi- cine. Your doctor may prescribe hormone tablets for severe hot flushes. Then he'll gradually taper off the dose, producing a second, milder change of life. Wi ie Ba A he TR et BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Oshawa Kiwanis Club planned to conduct a district tuber- culosis survey headed by Chair- man Ted Johnson. Oshawa Public Library report- ed all departments had gained circulation for the first nine months of the year, bringingsthe total up to 69,858 as compare with 63,410 during the same period in 1945, Approximately 2,924 persons were unemployed in Oshawa and about 578 vacancies were listed by the National Employ- ment Office here, Ernest Parsons of the Oshawa Curling Club was elected to the executive committee of the On- tario Curling Association at its 73rd annual meeting. Col. R. S. McLaughlin was named one of the henorary presidents of the association. Dave Jamieson was elected president of the Oshawa Ki- wanis club for 1946. Principal 0. E. O'Neill of the OCVI successfully organized the school on a_ two-shift basis, which was the only expedient open to solve the unusually large enrolment. An announcement was made that Cole of California, a beach- wear firm, would locate in the Williams Piano building. The Ladies' Section of the Oshawa Curling Club elected Mrs. C. E. Burton president; Mrs. F. Godden, vice-president; Mrs. H. R. Gilchrist, treasurer and Mrs. Avern Taylor, secre- tary, for the new season. Centre Street United, Church marked its 115th anniversary. The first church building stood on the northwest corner of what is now Richmond and Church streets and Elder Thomas Henry was chosén the first minister in 1843, and was succeeded by Elder Hainer in 1879.

CORRECTION Dear Sir: The appreciation of the spon- sors of the Musical concert by the Schneider Choir of Kitchen- er, goes to The Oshawa Times for a very excellent write-up of a very excellent musical even- g. However, one correction I think should be made. The lighting effects while under the direction of the pianist was op- erated from the panel by Andy Patrick a pupil at the Donevan Collegiate, whose efforts were greatly appreciated not only by the sponsors but by the conduc- tor and members of the choir.
