She Oshawa Tunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1962. -- PAGE 6 Commission On Taxes Suggested By Banker Another authoritative voice has joined the chorus calling for a detailed study of Canada's tax structure. It is that of W. Earle McLaughlin, the Oshawa man who is now president of the Royal Bank of Canada. He spoke at today's annual meeting of the bank's shareholders. After a strong and detailed argument In favor of restoration of a true floating exchange rate for Canada, instead of the present manipulatd rate, and of main- tenance of fiscal and monetary autonomy, Mr, McLaughlin took a look at Can- ada's trade position. This brought him to taxes. He said: "We should not forget that, while wage differentials can hurt us, the important thing is not high wages as such, but productivity. With high productivity, high wages are not a handicap but a reflection of the efficiency of labor and may therefore be fully justified. There is, however, one aspect of our cost structure which will remain to plague us in spite of any progress in our efforts to increase the efficiency of industry. I refer to our disincentive tax structure." "The burden of taxation lies not only in its absolute level, or even its level relative to other countries, but in dis- tortions induced by the uneven inci- dence of taxation," he continued. "Great- er incentive, and a greater national pro- duct, require a reform of our personal income tax, our corporate income tax, and our whole system of sales and excise taxes, with incentive as one, though by no means of the only, object in view." He noted that the government has get up a Royal Commission on Banking and Finance, which will undoubtedly shed light on our whole financial struc- ture since its terms of reference permit it to far beyond the scope allowed in the decennial revision of the Bank Act. Even 90, "perhaps it would be in order, as soon as we can, to extend still further the range of inquiry into the working of our economy by setting up a Royal Com- mission on Taxation." Royal Commissions, of course, take time -- time to assemble, time to hear evidence, time to study and time to report. As Mr. McLaughlin observes, it is doubtful if some of our most. imme- diate problems will wait on the delibera- tions of such a Royal Commission, "valuable as these would be to meet the problems we shall have to face over the long run." His immediate proposal is that "we give consideration as soon as possible to specific tax measures provid- ing encouragement to Canadian exports" -- thus following the lead of many ex- porting nations "where low production costs, whether based on mass production, low wages, or some combination of both, are in effect further reduced by various special advantages available to export- ers." One such measure would provide tax rebates to each exporter proportionate, in accordance with a definite formula, to any increase in his exports over his average exports in an agreed base period. It would be far more effective, because 'more selective, than any forced deprecia- tion in the external value of our cur- rency. Currency depreciation in the very short run increases exporters' profits but does not guarantee an increase in the actual volume of exports, but it is only by increasing volume that we can achieve greater economies of large-scale production, lower unit costs and a higher level of employment in an open economy faced with increasingly strong competi- tion from abroad. This dual attack on costs, through tax reductions and through increased econo- mies of large scale production, the banker thinks, should make it possible to in- crease employment without the cost in- flation which would otherwise be in- evitable in the long run as a result of any deliberate devaluation of the Cana- dian dollar in an attempt to increase exports. Medea And Muscovites Moscow audience have been deeply moved by a spectacular revival of 2400- year-old play, Euripides' "Medea", "Au- diences sit in solemn horror as the tragedy unfolds and they emerge from the hall pale and visibly shaken," writes Harrison Salisbury in the New York Times. Their response is evoked by what Nikolai Okhlopov, the director, calls "the angry and proud voice of the great- est of the ancient poets, raised in de- fense of man, his rights and dignity ..." Mr, Salisbury speculates that, for some spectators, the tragedy of Medea's situ- ation may acquire a measure of its im- pact from. "a feeling that there, but for a whim of destiny, they might have stood during the terror of the time of Stalin." Historically, the implications are perhaps even broader and deeper, the Christian Science Monitor suggests. Euripides speaks as an ancient "modern" -- a champion of rationality, humanity, and the individual. In the contex of his own immediate past, Athenian de- mocracy had triumphed over the Persian horders from the East. Yet it was a complex and troubled time for Athens. In the preface to his Mentor paper-back translation of three Euripides plays, Rex Warner writes; "No author in wartime The Osharon Times T. b. WILSON, Publisher C.

It is highly unlikely that ruminations on Athenian culture account for the stunning effect of "Medea" on the audiences cramming Moscow's Tchai- kovsky Hall. Yet, as Mr. Salisbury points out, the playhouse is a monument to V. E. Meyerhold, "one of Stalin's victims in the arts," who perished during World War II in a Siberian labor camp. Terrible injustice -- and sometimes ter- rible revenge -- is the pattern of dic- tatorship. The effect of "Medea" on Moscow audiences may be accounted for by transcendent parallels and relevant im- plications as well as by the implacable tragedy itself, says the Monitor. But we cannot help. imagining the poignant effect of these lines spoken by Medea's nurse: Great people's tempers are terrible, always Having their own way, seldom checked, Dangerous they shift from mood to mood, How much better accustomed To live .on equal terms with one's neighbors. I would like to be safe and grow old ina Humble way. What is moderate sounds best, Also in practice is best for everyone. to have been Other Editors' Views JAPAN GOOD CUSTOMER (Winnipeg Free Press) The most important reason why trade with Canada is vital to Japan is the fact that Japanese dietary habits have a- lerted radically in the past few years. Before the war the Japanese consumed about 23 grams of wheat per capita per day; today that figure is 71 grams and climbing. Japanese millers want hard Canadian wheat for their flour and last year they purchased almost one-fifth of this country's wheat exports. Our total sales to Japan of wheat, iron 'ore, as- bestos and other products this year are expected to reach $200,000,000. 1S STOLEN | ip ah YOUR HEALTH Bus Queasiness May Be Nerves By JOSEPH MOLNER, M.D. "Dear Dr. Molner: My daughter, a freshman in high school, has to ride on the bus a full hour to get to school. Because she gets sick on the bus, our doctor prescribed some tablets for her to take before break- fast. The tablets help, but she can't eat any breakfast and this worries me ter- nbly. This morning she had only two salty crackers and a glass of milk. "Can you possibly suggest something substantial she could eat so early in the morning -- 6:30 a.m.? The bus ride home doesn't bother her.--Mrs. J.K." Since the bus ride bothers her in the morning but not in the afternoon, I suspect that her troeubles--both the car sickness and the inability to eat -- are psychological rather than phy- sical Not that her misery isn't real enough. Of course it is. Our nerves can play all sorts of mean tricks on us. I think, if you exercise pa- tience and diplomacy, you can overcome the problem, Since she can eat salt crack- ers and milk, continue giving her these--but gradually and carefully add other things. An egg in the milk, and a bit of sweetening and flavoring if de- sired, will help a great deal nutritionally, and she may. tol- erate it easily. Next try toast and jelly in- stead of the crackers, or in ad- dition to them, Later work in REPORT FROM U.K. Coal-Fired Power Station Planned By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times EDINBURGH, Scotland -- A scheme for the building of a coal-fired electric power sta- tion, to cost $17,000,000 is un- der development. It is to be built near the East- Lothian village of Cockenzie, in a coal- mining area. Behind the scheme is the South of Scotland Elec- tricity Board. It has made ap- plication to John S. Maclay, secretary of state for Scotland, for permission to go ahead with the project. If this permission is received, the board wiil start the work of construction early in the spring of this year. The location of the 'site for the proposed new power station js on 244 acres of land immedi- ately east of the Prestonlinks Colliery, and between the main Edinburgh to North Berwick road and the sea. MARKET FOR COAL One of the important features about this scheme is that 'it will provide a ready and close at hand market for coal mined in the area. The station will use about 40,000 tons of coal a day, and will thus provide work for some 12,500 miners. Two of the new pit shafts in. the area, Montktonhall and Bilston Glen, are conveniently placed to sup- ply coal direct to the site. In addition to the work which will be provided for the miners, the station itself will give di- rect employment to about 400 men, To clear the site for the sta- tion, the local Miners' Institute building is likely to be demol- ished, and an amateur football team, Preston, is expected to lose its ground. Local opinion, however, is strongly in favor of the station. It is felt that the additional employment _pros- pects will more than compen- sate for any disadvantages. One reason for the choice of the Cockenzie site is the pres- ence of the unlimited supply of water needed for cooling pur- poses in such a station. The cold water intake will be con- structed several hundred feet into the Firth of Forth. The generating plant will form the main part of the con- structional work. It will occupy a seashore site of 800 feet by 425 feet. The greatest height; of the main buildings will be 200 feet, but there will be two brick chimneys 500 feet high. The coal will be delivered by rail to marshalling yards at the south of the site near the main Edinburgh-North Berwick coast road, and will be fed to a sys- tem of conveyor belts which will take it either into the coal store or the station bunkers. The area was chosen by the South <f England Electricity Board from 19 possible locations which were considered. One encouraging feature is that the owners of the land in- volved in the scheme, who*were opposed to the scheme when it was first proposed, have now accepted that, excellent land though it was, it must in the national interest be\ given over to the. Electricity Board. Be- cause of this, they have not lodged any formal objections with the secretary of state for Scotland. a small glass of fruit juice or a piece of fresh fruit. I think eventually you'll get a sut stantial breakfast into her, ard the "bus sickness' should disappear, Keep in mind (but don't tell her) the fact that she's a fresh- man is probably significant, She's under the nervous ten- sion of 'getting used to a new environment and new problems. As she becomes accustomed to things, she'l] calm down, Indeed, that is quite likely the reason why she is upset going to school, but at ease going home--a good thing for you to remember, but of no particular value to her, since obviously she is reacting subconsciously to their stresses. Lon't belabor the situation. Don't argue. Don't keep harp- ing on it. And don't try to force the food. These things would just add to her discomfort. She necds calm, easy, tactful help. The pills, since they help, are all right but I predict that the time will come when she won't necd them. "Dear Dr. Molner: What could cause a strong odor in the urine of a girl of four? She still wets her panties and bed. Her mother thought this might cause it. Would you advise a checkup by the doctor?.-- H. H." Diet, infection, certain vita- mins, and insufficient water are all common causes of this strong odor. Likewise, soiled clothes and bedding could ac- ceniuate it. By all means have a medical checkup. Among other points, infection might influence the wetting, and treatment could correct two problems at once --in addition to warding off fu- ture trouble that could be seri- ous. "Dear Dr. Molner: We are greatly concerned over our 13- month-old grandchild. She passés out from holding her breath, and turns blue. Most people say it is tem- per. Is there anything that can be done to bring her out of it?--Mrs. B, A." In this case, "most people" are right. She always has come out of it, hasn't she? She al- ways will. It's a trick that some babies acquire -- holding their breath because they are angry. If they hold their breath long enough, they "pass out." At that point they relax and begin to breathe again. It's been hap- pening for centuries. But it still scares adults, BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Civic clubs joined to support a benefit for Joe Graboski, Oshawa junior hockey star, who Jost an eye as the result of an accident in a practice session. Holy Trinity Anglican Church Men's Club was addressed by J. A. McGibbon, crown attor- ney for Ontario County. Intro- duced by Rev. J. C. Jarrett, Mr. McGibbon explained the nature of his work among de- linquents. Prizes and donations of all kinds poured in to Mildred Loretta, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wiiiiam Turell, who was the first baby born in 1932. The Oshawa Choral Society was officially organized with the following elected officers: President, Robert Henderson; a ae Col. Frank Chap- peu, Grant Berry; secretary, Miss Beulah Walker and treasurer, H. C. Lander. In the January issue of The Sailor there appeared Walter Alexander, 254 Verdun Road, member of the Oshawa Sea Cadet Corps, photographed with Ear} Jellicoe, while . the latter wes a visitor in the city last August. 2nd _ vice-president, Mrs. At the Board of Education inaugural meeting, Dr. F. J. Donevan was elected chairman for a second year. Heads of the committees were announced as Trustees A. F. Annis, A. V. Swail, J. C. Anderson and B, A. Brown. H. A. Brown, vice-president and general manager of Gener- al Motors, reported that the sale of GMC trucks, formerly handled directly by GM at Wal- kerville, would be centred in GM Products, Oshawa. V. 0. Hippwell was appointed GMC truck sales manager with head- quarters here, Mrs. Elizabeth Barnes was installed Worthy Matron of Sunbeam Chapter, No. 73, Or- der of the Eastern Star, for the year 1932. Harmony won the Paxton final series by defeat- ing the OCVI 3-2 in the decid- ing game. Team captain Don Hearn was presented with the trophy by Ross "MacKinnon and W. A. Coad.

All tat was permitted was a mon- ologue, a harangue by one stu- , dio-Lound politician, More Scope Given To TV Politicking By PATRICK NICHOLSON 1962 will almost certainly be the year of our first televisio election. } This is not to suggest that television is a novelty, or was not available in any previous elections, But this year there will be two very significant new factors which will entirely change the use made of televi- sicn by the competing parties-- unless their campaign man- agers are all blind to the new opportunity presented. In the first place, the 1962 election will be the first in wich the private stations pre- sent an alternative to the CBC, And more important, the 1962 election will be the first in which the new looser -- and more realistic--regulations re- cently promulgated by the Board of Broadcast Gover- nors will give the rival political parties some scope for ingen- uity in creating new and ap- pealling political programs. CRAMPED IMAGINATION The old regulations, stuffy rulus created by a stuffy CBC, prohibited any "dramatization" QUEEN'S PARK Important Tests For Two Parties By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The New Demo- cratic Party gets a break in the Jan, 18 byelections. The NDP has little to lose. While the government and the Liberals will have to be almost sensational to make any real gain. This stems from the fact that fa lot is being looked for from both the older parties. While not much is expected from the ex-CCF'ers. PC SPOT The government, of course, goes into these votes with the record of not having lost a by- election in 18 years. This time happens to be the first occasion on which it has had to try and take opposition seats. ' A But in the public mind this will be out-weighed by the rec- ord. Even if it loses only one seat the government will suffer some loss of prestige. Two or more and there can be a real black eye. GRITS WORSE The Liberals ane perenee in an even worse position. They actually entered the campaign as favorites in three seats. These were Brant and Kenora which they had held, and Tor- onto Eglinton, where Mrs. Jean Newman had got off to a very fast start. This rating hit probably not actually merited. The party should hold Brant. It will be a severe defeat if it doesn't. But in me oarag! mre ee is fighting in a long-time Tory riding, with Federal Finance Minister Donald Fleming direct- ing an active riding organiza- tion. And Kenora always has been a no-man's-land of politics . .. Newspaperman Monk-Lecturer VANCOUVER (CP) -- Cha- man Lal, at 58, is a handsome, fast - talking newspaperman- turned-monk who says there will be no war until 1995, that Indians from India first discov- ered North America, and that the English were never so well- liked in India as they are to- day. ; Mr. Lal, a@ newspaperman on The Times of India for more than 40 years, six years ago took the vows of a Buddhist monk to write and lecture for peace. ; But he still likes soldiers. "They are more honest than civilans," he says. "They choose their words. We got on well with the English because so many of them were sol- diers."' Mr. Lal, who wears a brillant yellow robe, sweater, silk shirt and socks and black shoes and carries a plastic yellow brief case, stopped here on a lecture tour that is taking him through Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, New York, Mexico and Peru. He believes Indians from Ari- zona to the North American west coast are descendants of the Indians of India. His proph- ecy that there will be no war until 1995 comes from the fore- cast of an ancient cave-dwelling Indian monk. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "Do you want to get rid of your red nose?" Catchline of ad. No, thanks, we need it to help hold our glasses on. Come' to think of it, did you ever hear a critic carp? "A person can't live without at least some degree of self- respect," says a psychologist. He's mistaken.. Among the liv- ing are those who plunder and loot in the wake of storms and other disasters. The cause of many psychch- somatic ailments is disliking work and being unable to avoid We ain't certain we under- stand to what extent ain't is being accepted by language authorities as a proper English word. Is it approved for use in the plural, as well as in the singular, and in all three per- sons? Many who are smoking more are affording it less. @ riding that no party ever de- Ss on. The late Albert Wren man- aged to hang on to it largely through a lot of very hard per- sonal work, and only then by the skin of his teeth. LOOK FOR COMEBACK Nevertheless, the public at large is looking to the Liberals to make a comeback, Their provincial group has re- ceived a lot of publicity in re- cent months. . If they slip at all seriously it could be critical. What, on the other hand, does the NDP have to lose? Only in Toronto Beaches is it considered the contender. And the one serious set-back it could receive would be not to do well here--and, it almost cer- tainly will. Practically any other im- provement will be gravy. It is home free. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan. 11, 1962... Count Galeazzo Ciano, son-in- law of Benito Mussolini, and four others were executed by a firing squad in Verona, Italy, 18 years ago today--in 1944. A court-martial had found Ciano and 17 other members of the former Grand Fascist Council guilty of treason. 1947 -- The Canadian govern- ment lifted price controls on a wide list of goods, retaining them for food, clothing, fuel and rent. - 1923 -- Belgian and French troops began their occupation of the Ruhr to enforce German First World War reparations. But under the brave new Tules of the Board of Broadcast Governors, we may now see politics wrapped up in the sue gar - coating of entertainment, We may see "presentations" -- whose nature is as yet uncer- tain, and will take shape in ac« coraance with the ideas of the various political planners; or better, in accordance with the specialized skills of experienced television producers. It is probable that great ef. forts will be made to ine this massive new intrusion of pole itics into the home less formal, There will certainly by some at- tempt to get away from the dull old formula of the radio ad- pb ae away from its first cousin, the artificial "fircside chat," er! We can hardly expect a Diclenbaker in Fovigeerl the good sheriff, shooting from the hip to wing "bad man" Douglas in the tried and repetitive Wests ern formula. But we will cere tainly see considerable experie menting, perhaps along the lines of our more popular mag- azine programs or panel shows, We will almost certainly suffer a surfeit of "diary" or "travel- ogue" programs of a dismally unimaginative type, as mobile television cameras follow polite ical leaders or even local can- dijates through handshak- ing and canvassing chores. EFFECT UNPREDICTABLE How much effect on the: vot- ers will this have? Nobody can precict that. The advocates of this new political medium and the salesmen of television time will suggest that it could the clection. This is unlikely. However it is safe to make one prediction. The massive and costly ise of television to bring political arguments inte our homes will certainly have the beneficial result of increas- ing political knowledge among our voters. This, in the opinion of some of the few strategists wiv have given thought to the matter, will have an enduring effect. Between elections as well as during elections, there will be a more alert and a much better informed public re- action to our federal and our provincial politics, Does this mean an end to the naticn-wide political broadcasts as we now know them? Not necessarily. There will always be a place for the skilled and persuasive performer such as, for example, Hon. Paul Martin. He was Canada's first political broadcaster on a nationwide TV network in 1962; and the old maestro showed that he has lost none of his appeal and indeed has gained in know-how. He can be sincere, constructive and very persuasive on the TV screen, one of the most effece tive public figures in the couns try. And that he was last. week. No matter how much the TV experts jazz up future political presentations--and they rightly wili--there will always be @ place for the Paul Martins. Week-End SPECIALS! JURY & LOVELL LTD.
