She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1962 --- PAGE 6 Different Employment Trends Seen One cannot get a true picture of the Canadian labor force and employment record of the past decade without taking note of the markedly different trends for men and for women, says the current monthly review of the Bank of Nova Scotia. The most dramatic development of the period has been the rapid increase in the number of women who have wanted, and have found, regular employment. During 1961, the average number of women eme ployed (at almost 1.7 millions) was 55 per cent greater than in 1960. The num- ber of married women with jobs was no less than two and one-half times as great. During these years, also, the rate of unemployment among women increased to some degree, but in many instances women who are laid off or withdraw from employment also retire from the labor market -- at least after a short time -- and thus are not counted for very long as being unemployed. In contrast to the very rapid increase in employment of women, the growth in In Decade male employment from 1950 to 1961 was only 12 per cent, reflecting a mo- derate rise up to 1957 and comparatively little growth since then, In both periods the rate of male participation in the work- ing force was reduced by long-run ten- dencies towards extended periods of schooling and earlier ages of retirement, and these tendencies have been accen- tuated by the higher rates of unemploys= ment in recent years. The increase in jobs for both men and women since 1950 has been most rotable in the service producing industries, Neverthless, men have not shared as fully as women in the growth of job opportunities in these expanding indus- tries -- one reason for the relatively sluggish growth in total male employ- ment, though the much more important reason has been the actual decline in male employment in goods-producing industries, It is obvious that manufacturing holds the key to Canada's problem of finding jobs for a constantly expanding work force. Report On Tuberculosis During 1960 Ontario experienced the lowest tuberculosis mortality rate it has ever recorded -- 2:6 cases per 100,000 citizens. But, despite this gratifying statistic, experts point to the importance of continuing recognition of the dangers of TB for there are many soft spots across the nation. Two Toronto doctors employed by the provincial department of health, reporting on a survey in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, found that of 157 deaths attributed to TB 61. per cent occured in people over 60 years of age and the highest incidence of active TB is found among men over 45 The Ontario death rate is one of the lowest in the world while the rate for Canada as a whole was 4.6 cases per 100,000 citizens in the same year. The doctors found the decline in Ontario is largely the result of the high and rising standard of living, and of the great efforts that have been made towards thorough control of the disease, Introduction of antimicrobial drugs in treatment in the last 15 years has had @ pronounced effect on the death rate. Mass surveys in the past three years reveal that less than one-fifth of the total population of Ontario show positive tuberculin reactions. The doctors stressed that TB was still a common disease despite the low death rate with 2,030 persons developing active 'TB in the province in 1960. About one- fifth of patients with active cases are not admitted to sanatoria and only about half of these patients receive antimicrobial treatment at home, The main hazard today, according to the survey, is that a large segment of the population is tuberculin-negative, and therefore is without the benefits of ac- quired immunity. Extension of preven- tive vaccination to older school children was mentioned as a means to protect them through their adolescence and young adult life. The survey brought out that the in- cidence of active tuberculosis among Indians is at least ten times higher than among the white population and, in the foreign-born group, the disease is ten times higher than among native Cana- dians, It was pointed out that primary in- fection with tubercle bacilli is becoming relatively uncommon and that most of our TB-positive population were infected a long time ago. This is the principal reason for the current predominance of TB among the elderly, particularly among older men. Moves Towards Unity A European and an Atlantic commu- nity are essential for free world survival and the peoples of the west must under- stand it. More is needed than economic and military co-operation. There must come some degree of political integration. That is what Christian Herter, former USS. secretary of state, told the Atlantic convention in Paris the other day. The same message came from numerous speakers from other nations of the free world, Arthur Conte, a Frenchman and deputy president of the Western Euro- pean Union, for example, called the Atlantic community a primordial condi- tion" of survival. What all were saying was that old fashioned political thinking is no longer enough. In Herter's words, "the modern world as we know it is coming to an end She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

The Atlantic convention is a discus- sion group of 98 prominent citizens of North Atlantic Treaty Organization countries, It grew out of resolutions by the NATO parliamentarians' conference of 1957 and the Atlantic congress of 1959 which asked member nations to call such a meeting to define an Atlantic "doc- trine." Its members have no official role, save that they were named by their gobernments. The idea is to have a free wheeling discussion that, because of its informal and unofficial nature, can go far beyond discussions by foreign minis- ters and other leaders who are limited by national policies. The purpose is to point the way for national leaders toward bold action for increased co-peration in the west. Herter, together with William L Clayton, former USS. undersecretary of state were recently joint advocates of American entry into the European Common Market. Equally prominent men represent other NATO countries, Other Editors' Views SEAWAY BARGAIN (Milwalkee Journal) Appreciation of the value of the St. Lawrence Seaway relative to its cost got all out of perspective during the half century of American quibbling over it. Here's a starting comparison to help restore that perspective: The United States now has a nuclear powered aircraft carrier, The taxpayers have more money invested in just that one vessel -- $444,000,000 -- than in the whole seaway! And the carrier doesn't return any income. Sad to say also, the carrier, nuclear power, destroyer speed and. all, was probably obsolete before it was built. *ummAnd For Maximtm Effect Always Keep Yot' Head Down And Complete Your Follow-Through." Victoria Produces Top Count Of Bird Species By AL MARKLE Canadian Press Staff Writer Even birds "follow the birds to Victoria." The slogan started as a tour- ist-catcher, based on the clouds of gulls wheeling over steam- ships as they came. and went, but apparently birds of all kinds have taken the message to heart. A Cross - Canada Survey by The Canadian Press showed that in the annual Christmas bird count throughout the coun- try, Victoria reported more spe- cies sighted than any other place. Snuggled at the southern end of Vancouver Island, Victoria is a haven for bird-watchers who saw 121 separate species of birds, six more than in 1960. About 30 members of the Vic- toria Natural History Society took part in the dawn-to-dusk count. Best find was a yellow- billed loon, an Arctic bird rarely seen in Alaska and spotted only three times before in British Columbia COUNT IS UP The annual count takes place before, during and after Christ- mas Day as hundreds of de- voted bird - watchers bundle up, clutch field glasses and notebooks and set about identi- fying and counting birds in their areas. The information is collected and tabulated by the Audubon Society of Canada. Victorians may have counted more species than elsewhere but for sheer volume Vancou- verites ruled the roost. Peering through the drizzle, they identi- fied 116 species and counted 124,932 birds. The previous year they counted the same number of varieties and 99,443 birds. Euro- pean starlings led the list in 1961 with 67,367, an increase of 31,765. Some 30,784 gulls were counted, including one ringbill and three California gulls, both unusual in Vancouver in winter. Other unusual sightings in- cluded eight whistling swans, three western 'sandpipers, one savannah sparrow and a gos- hawk spotted lurking around a turkey farm. FIRST SIGHTINGS Reports from across Canada indicate the bird population is on the: increase, perhaps shift- ing around slightly. Many areas reported first sightings of some species. The picture in other areas: Alberta: Twenty-eight species and 4,793 birds were spotted in the Calgary Bird Club's count. One white - breasted nuthatch was seen, the first ever re- ported south of Red Deer. The Edmonton Bird Club. spotted 1,735 birds of 28 species, includ- ing a golden eagle, a northern shrike, a red-breasted nuthatch and a pileated woodpecker. Bo- hemian waxwings, usually plen- tiful, were scarce Saskatchewan; Members of the Moose Jaw Natural History Society counted 400 birds of 15 species in 10-below weather Boxing Day. Included were one robin, an evening grosbeak, a snow owl, a downy woodpecker and 16 ring-necked pheasants, At Regina the first recorded sightings of a Gadwall duck, a horned lark, a Harris sparrow and a Townsend solitaire were included in the 5,462 birds of 35 species. For the first time since 1954 no eagles or hawks were seen Manitoba: A black - backed three - toed woodpecker was among ine 2,366 birds of 26 spe- cies. The species count, not a record, also showed 25 hairy woodpeckers, one red-breasted nuthatch, two robins, two brown creepers, two cedar waxwings and 40 downy woodpeckers. Ontario: Watchers in Ottawa spotted 6,310 birds of 48 va- rieties, a record. There were no new species but two rareties were a Barrow's goldeneye--a QUEEN'S PARK Nobody Certain Of Voting Results By DON O"HEARN TORONTO--On the eve of the by-elections nobody is too con- fident. There aren't supporters of any party waving betting money and crying for takers You don't even hear the usual boastful forecasts The NDP knows it is really only in the running in Toronto Beaches -- though naturally it doesn't say so, and holds its Cloud 90 hopes of upsets. But the two older parties really don't know where they stand. The PCs could easily sweep the works . . . take home all five. They could, though not so easily, also drop them all, The Liberals could take at least four of the seats But they also could lose them all and run third in three The only certain thing is that this set of elections is more mixed-up than most RENFREW KEY Renfrew South has been turn- ing out to be a key seat It is the one riding of the five up for grabs: which has a gen- uine see-saw background Either PCs or Liberals could take it, and here both express some confidence. The NDP also is fighting hard in the riding, though it doesn't tigure to stand a chance. All parties apparently have been putting more effort into this seat than into any of the others. BEACHES NDP? One handicap the Liberals are suffering is that in some ridings they have been so low for years they have practically no organ- ization This is the case in Toronto Beaches, the largely working- man's riding in the east end of the city along the lake. The Grits have never held the seat. And in recent years their candidates have been lament- able. This time they have a good man in &ob McGregor, a 53- year-old bond dealer. He is highly respected in the riding and has been prominent in community work and ath- letics Normally he would make a good run, But he is shy of workers, and particularly of those key people who know the polling districts and how to get the vote out Here the very good The CCF held the seat once, the maurity of the voters are trade union people, the candi- date, Stanley Bulloch, is a well- thought-of young printer and Ken Bryden MPP, the NDP prize organizer is handling the campaign. NDP chances are saltwater bird--and a northern three-toed woodpecker. Toronto watchers spotted 20,000 birds of 86 species and a new high for chickadees -- 1,338, Six birds never seen before in 37 years of census-taking in the Toronto area turned up--blue goose, Bonaparte's gull, Harris spar- row, tufted titmouse, yellow-bel- lied sapsucker and broad- winged hawk, Quebec: A record 39 species were sighted in Montreal, total- ling «,000 birds. Outstanding find was an Oregon junco, first ever in the area. Unusual finds included two field sparrows, one Brant goose, one robin. and sev- eral pinegroves beaks. Quebec City spotters reported a record 33 species among 2,300 birds. Only unusual sightings were 540 Bohemian waxwings, birds that usually nest in the west in SS and go south in win- er. New Brunswick: Snow kept the count down but watchers in the Saint John area counted 4,000 herring gulls. Surprisingly few cowbirds were seen but an increasing number of pine gros- beaks was indicated by a count of 96 at Fredericton, Cape Tor- mentine reported 117 Iceland gulls. BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS. AGO Oshawa Creek, fed by abnor- mally heavy rains, went on a rampage and many homes in the city were flooded. Traffic on way No. 2 was held up several hours when it was flooded by Duffin's Creek at Pickering. The City Assessor filed notice of appeal on assessment re- ductions by the Court of Re- vision on 160 business places and 81 residential properties. Dr, Bryce Brown succeeded J. Whereatt as president of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club for 1937, F, P. Palmer was re-elected as chairman of St. Gregory's Separate School Board and A. C. Love was re-elected secre- tary-treasurer for his 14th con- secutive term at the inaugural meeting of the Board. Dr, T. W. G. McKay, reported 65 children received dental treatment by three city health dentists for the month of De- cember 1936 The Oshawa Male Voice Choir under the direction of J. Hurst, and the Motor City Harmonica Rascals under the direction of their leader, Mel Smith, pre- sented a concert to the ents of the Whitby Ontario Hospital. Oshawa Humane Society re- ported there were too many cats in Oshawa and that 439 of them were destroyed in 1936. Sgt. Mark Cordy was chosen as president of the Sergeants' Mess while W. L, Borrowdale was named secretary and Sgt. B. Mathews as treasurer of the Ontario Regiment when the an- nual meeting was held in the Armories. The Trail Ranger Group of Albert Street Church under the leadership of Harold Phillips held a Father and Son banquet. Rev. E. R. MacLean, Boys' Work Secretary of the Religious Education Council of the United Church of Canada was the guest speaker. Mayor A C. Hall, City Trea- surer Peter Blackburn and C. D. Lyons, manager of the local branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce were among the Oshawans who attended the Canadian Bank of Commerce luncheon in Toronto. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM We haven't the slightest idea of what makes a human being tick, but it is probably the same thing that makes him tock. 'The chip on a shoulder {s usually mostly bark. Of course, women can stand a great deal more pain than men can. They get almost daily practice in standing pain by wearing tight shoes. YOUR HEALTH Allergy Could Be Irritation Cause By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. "Dear Dr. Molner: My . two- year-old son has eczema on his cheeks. Could plastic toys, dishes and pants irritate this condition? -- Mrs. E.H." Yes, it's possible. But let me get it straight: Do you mean irritate or do you mean cause? Eczema actually is a pretty broad term, meaning any num- ber of varieties of breaking-out. In babies, such a rash on the face is most likely what we call atopic dermatitis--a rash caused by the baby com in contact with something to which he is sensitive. It might be from a single cause; it may be due to several irritants, Irritants that is, to HIM. They may not be irritat- ing to anyone else. That's the "annoying thing about allergies. In infants, some food or other may be the cause, and oddly enough some of the most health- ful foods, including wheat, milk and eggs, are fairly often found to be the culprits. Wool and fur are two other common causes, and for quite some time plastics have been known to "trigger" eczema, TENSION COUNTS Later in life, emotional ten- sion comes more and more into the picture in atopic dermatitis, which makes the problem much more complex, of course. However, a good many chil dren outgrow this problem, al- though they may be around the age of 20 before it disappears. In any event, eczema ates a great deal. That is why some people buy a patent medi- cine, happen to apply it when the rash is subsiding, and are thereupon zealously . convinced that they discovered a cure. Others, who may happen to try the same medicine just when the rash is~ready to get worse, claim its. a nostrum. The pa- tent medicine "'cures" of ec- zema, therefore, are praised by some, berated by others, and don't, in my opinion, have much effect of any significance. The one thing that really helps is finding out what is causing the eczema--and then making sure that the baby doesn't come in contact with it any more. You doubtless say that this is easier said than done. And I thoroughly agree! If the ec- zema is really severe, the best bet is to have a skin (dermatologist) tackle it. And don't expect quick results. It takes time. However, eczema isn't con- tagious. It isn't something to worry about The child's com- fort is the really important as- pect, if the rash i se ee doesn't--appearance is all that matters much. T will, however, add these tips: Guard such children from people with cold sores, as that May accentuate the trouble; avoid having a vaccination borg or rash Ng ------ at (among other s) can intensify the trouble. Dear Dr. Molner: Is there a ve, that will stop the tobacco ? Or a special diet that will cure cigarette smoking? B. B. (Age 24,)" There is no drug or diet that will supplant good old will power -- and for whatever rea- son, it is younger people who for the most part seek so hard for some "easy" way of doing things that can best be done the hard way. "Dear Dr. Molner: I neg- lected to keep up my exercises after my last baby was born and now I have quite a tummy. Is it too late to start now? ¥ a ag lo, it's not too late.
