She Oshawa Funes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. &., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1962 -- PAGE 6 No Evidence Of Change In Expenditure Trend Finance Minister Donald Fleming last week brought down his estimates of gov- ernment spending for the coming fiscal year, and suggested that the figures represented a decrease in expenditure. He was, however, using an odd basis of comparison. His estimates for 1926-63 totalled $6,- 276 million, and he compared this total with the $6,479 million authorized: to date for 1961-62--an apparent decrease of $203 million. The proper comparison should have been with his initial. esti- mates for 1961-62, which came to $6,- 123 million. Those initial estimates have been increased considerably by supple- mentary estimates, just as the 1962-63 figure given by Mr. Fleming last week will be swelled by the supplementaries which have become a regular feature of federal financing. Had Mr, Fleming waited a little while before producing his new estimates, he could have made a much more favorable comparison, because the $6,479 total to date does not include the $125. million which will have to be found to cover the $10 a month increase in pensions voted recently by the House of Commons. One can understand Mr. Fleming's burning desire to brighten his fiscal pre- sentation to Parliament and the people. His record is one of monstrous deficits-- not his fault, particularly, but still iden- tified with him -- and steadily increasing expenditures, But his attempt to make the 1962-63 estimates look better than they are was rather pitiful. The story is still one of bigger expenditure. The growth in the gross national product during the year will probably provide the increase in revenue that is needed, but this is pretty thin gruel to feed a nation staggering under a tremendous municipal, provincial and federal tax load -- a load that puts too heavy a burden on the productive segment at a time when the great need is the creation of more jobs. Virtually all departments of the fed- eral government plan to spend more money. Whatever happened to those old demands from the opposition benches for reductions in extravagant expendi- tures? Strategic Viewpoint A new strategic doctrine appears to havé been worked out for the United States, and several responsible U.S. newspapers believe that it is of such importance to everyone that (in the words of the Christian Monitor) "at the earliest moment the facts and essential reasoning ought to be made public". According to'reporter Joseph Alsop, who is usually well-informed on matters of high-level strategy in the United States, President Kennedy outlined the following concepts at a recent meeting of the U.S. National Security Council: The nuclear deterrent is to be ex- tended like an umbrella to cover not only nuclear war, as in the recent past, but conventional war as well. This would be accomplished simply by providing much stronger and more modern American conventional forces, able to swing quickly into action. This would put the Communists on notice, the President is quoted as saying, that their satellite forces would henceforth not be large enough to fight a war like that in Korea. Soviet forces would have to be used. That would mean war directly between the United States and the U.S.S.R. And that in turn "must lead to" nuclear war, which the Kremlin does not wish to risk So the President reportedly explained. In this way the "threshold of action" would be raised for the Kremlin. It could no longer plan to start an indirect aggres- sion, through a third country, without meeting American force, bringing in its own forces, and so risking all-out nuclear war. This might be called "massive deter- rence." Since it does not involve retalia- tion, it cannot be termed massive retalia- tion. Yet the purpose of the Kennedy plan is the same as that of John Foster Dulles: to use the massive nuclear weapons of the United States to make small war as well as big war too danger- ous for the Communist leadership. Any- thing still smaller would be dealt with by the special guerilla forces. There is one more .new angredient. Up to now the nuclear deterrent force of the United States has been a "second strike" force under the Eisenhower verdict that the United States could never strike first. Mr. Alsop says it is now changing into a potential first strike force, in order to serve as a deter- rent to conventional war. The Alsop report is fuzzy as to details at the critical point. This new strategy seems sensible if it uses the risk of nuclear war to stop smaller wars. This has been advocated for many years by close students of the problem. On the other hand, if a conventional attack "must" mean nuclear war, as the Alsop text seems to indicate, this would eliminate the possibility of any conven- tional encounter of greater than guerilla- size and automatically couple full-scale nuclear war to any local adventure which might break out. That would raise very grave questions. Poor Stuff As Heroes One of our far-flung correspondents reports from Clovis, New Mexico, reports that thousands of tourists make long detours just to gape at a patch of weeds in an old cemetery near Fort Sumner, not far from Clovis. They are attracted to that particular bit of dirt by a sign which says that beneath the weeds lies the body of one William H. Bonney, who acquired some notoriety under the name of Billy the Kid.

There in a short time he established himself as a no-account, specializing in thieving, robbery and shooting men in the back. He was barely out of his teens when he was shot and killed by a sheriff named Pat Garrett, who also had quite a reputation -- as a crook and an alcoholic. Old-timers of the West have expressed their surprise that the drunken Garrett was able to steady himself long enough to shoot any- body. Some time ago, it seems, television started making warm-hearted heroes of both Bonney and Garrett, with the ine- vitable result that the inevitable suckers began making pilgrimages to the gentle Billy's grave. US. government authorities have been cracking down on TVadvertising, to rid it of misrepresentation. If they are suc- cessful in that effort, perhaps their next campaign should be against misrepresen- tation of history.

OTTAWA REPORT 'Hidden Report' Turns Up Again By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- We will hear a great deal about the 'Hidden Report" in the near future. This is the famous economic survey, prepared by senior civil servants, which secretly warned the former Liberal government early in March, 1957, that Can- ada was about to plunge into the worst post-war recession. That Liberal government was terrified to tell Canadians, on the eve of a general, election, that its policies and leadership had brought the country to this deplorable crisis. So the St. Laurent ministry swept that unwelcome forecast underneath the rug and hoped that it would remain "hidden." The Liberals took no step to avert that pending slump; they failed to warn Canadians that it was coming. Three months after receiving that warning they were beaten at: the polls, yet they even failed to tell the incoming Conservative govern ment that this detailed stugg was in existence. So too, and this raises the whole question of the duty, loy- alty and responsibility of very senior civil servants, did those servants of the state fail to warn their new.. masters. DIEFENBAKER ACTED Nevertheless, .Prime Minister John Diefenbaker soon got hold of that warning, which the Lib- erals had so carefully hidden. And his government promptly took steps to stimulate Canada's largest job-creating industry-- home-building and to fos- ter employment by other emer- gency means. Then, when the year covered by that report had expired, he related to Canadians in January, 1958, how the pre- vious Liberal government had jeopardized Canada's economy and Canadians' jobs by hiding that warning of imminent rec- ord unemployment and the other features of recession. Warnings contained in that "ey, | This is because the Conserva- ive government will assuredly quote that Hidden Report back at the Liberals, who now are ' again trying to rewrite history by asserting that--despite this evidence to the contrary--the ; Conservatives brought on a re- ? cession as soon as they assumed } governmental power. "Hidden Report' covered every phase of our economic life: "Some of the symptoms that typically are found in the down- turn of the business cycle have begun to appear, and they have tended to become more appar- ent since the turn of the year." Of industry: "'The competitive position of Canadian manufac- turing has deteriorated markedly since 1950." Of building: "The decline in construction in the current win- ter will be much more than sea- sonal, and fairly sharp declines can be expected in housing con- struction." Of agriculture: "Lower levels of exports, especially in grain where a 20-per-cent decline in wheat. sales is predicted, are likely to result in a decline in cash income in the Prairies again. A net decline in $150,000,- 000, or 10 per cent, is pre- dicted." FEWER JOBS On unemployment, the Hidden Report was especially gloomy: "Since October, the numbers of persons without jobs and seek- ing work have undergone in- creases that are clearly greater than seasonal." "In summary, a definite eas- ing in demand for goods, serv- ices and labor is indicated for 1957." Although he had already re- ceived that warning, along with his cabinet colleagues, Finance Minister Walter Harris declared in his budget speech on March 14, 1957: '"'On the present evi- dence we can expect a continua- tion of the current high level of economic activity throughout the coming year." In the face of the warning from its bureaucratic brains trust, Mr. Harris' optimistic as- sertion was even more cynically brutal to the Canadian people than the hiding of that report. But I believe that we will hear much more of that "Hidden Re- port" in the near future. BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO "~The Oshawa Kiwanis Club carried out a community TB Chest X-ray survey and more than 22,000 residents of the city and district received chest x-rays. Miss Lois McGovern, a mem- ber of the Oshawa Skating Club, was the featured skater at the Brighton Ice Carnival. City couscil passed the board of works budget for 1947 amounting to $159,101, including expenditures for capital equip- ment, . totalling $29,056. A snowstorm tied up the Hampton-Tyrone district with drifts five to six feet deep. J. B. Biddle, an employee of Gen- eral Motors, reported that his home, which was about five miles from Tyrone, was _ iso- lated by drifts and that he had not been able to reach it for several days. Clinton M. Birchard of Osh- awa, Johnny Evans, "Irish" O'Flaherty, Alec Hunter, Ken Johns and Walter Gadzos, all of the Ajax Division of the Uni- versity of Toronto, successfully qualified as flying instructors at the Ontario County Flying Club. The 1947 Oshawa tax rate was fixed at 31.5 mills, an increase pf 5.5 mills over the previous year. David Powless of Oshawa, won the oratory contest at the annual convention of the On- tario Temperance Federation in Toronto. The Oshawa Board of Health reported a total of 125 commun- icable diseases in the city for January. Chickenpox appear- ed to be in the epidemic stage with 96 cases reported. Dr. H. B. James, with 14 years service on the local board of health, was re-elected chair- man of the board for 1947. Members of Lebanon Lodge, together with other Masonic brethren of Oshawa and dis- trict, as well as officers of the Ontario Regiment, enjoyed a special '"'Military Night" pro- gram. Wor. Bro. Martin Libby proposed the toast to the three Armed Forces and Bro. L. W Currell proposed the toast to the visitors. Lt.-Col. M: P. Johnston gave a brief talk, re- newing the change in tempo and velocity of the last wars. Miss Violet Ryley, head die- titian of the T. Eaton Co. Ltd., was guest speaker at the Uni- versity Women's Club at Ade- laide House. She was a former Oshawa girl. Cecil V. Purdy was re-elected president of the Oshawa Pro- gressive Conservative Associa- tion at the annual meeting.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A new school, with a new conception of edu- cation as a means of bringing together young people of many nations, and the first of its kind in Britain, is being established at Glamorgan, in Wales. Known as Atlantic College, the school, which is to be international in character, will have its base in St. Donat's Castle, a large build- ing which was once the home of William Randolph Hearst, the late United States newspaper publisher. Chairman of the council of the school, Air-Marshal Sir Law- rence Darvail, says the school will be opened in September, when the first batch of 60 pupils will arrive. They will all be pupils eligible for Sixth Form work, as Atlantic College will be entirely a Sixth Form school. But only about a quarter of its pupils will be British. The re- mainder will come from many countries, extending from North America to Russia. TOUCH OF GORDONSTOUN There will be about the school a touch of the pattern of the famous Gordonstoun School in Scotland which the Prince of Wales is to attend. One of the members of its council is Dr. Kurt Hahn, the founder of the Gordonstoun school The fees will amount to approximately $1,450 a year, which is $55: be- low the Gordonstoun fees, but $29 a year more than at Eton College. Eighty per cent of the British entrants will be pupils coming from the grammar _ schools. Their expenses will be borne or shared with parents hy the local education authorities who select them. Sponsoring authorities on the continent and elsewhere which send boys to the school are expected to pay a part or whole of the fees. HIGH STANDARDS All boys to be admitted must be of a high academic standard. The course is designed as a pre- university one, in which Eng- lish will be the main teaching language. They will also be re- quired to study two languages other than their own. One of these may be taught at the colloquial level, First aid and life-saving, as at Gordonstoun, will also be features of the life of the school. Of its general aims, Sir Law- rence Darvail said: 4 "The college will provide an environment in which good boys from many countries will study, serve and adventure together. They will thus overcome to a considerable extent, the historic and language difficulties which normally divide them " RUSSIANS FASCINATED Sir Lawrence, a former com- mandant of the NATO Defence College in Paris, said that when YOUR HEALTH Father's Health Is Mother's Worry By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: Please an- swert some "'men queries" un- less you are truly a women's doctor, like I think you are. J. J. K. , That's Mr. J. J. K.'s whole letter. No question for me to an- swer--just an accusation that I don't answer, as he calls it, "men queries." Well, three questions out of four in this column are from women, so that's the ratio of the answers. I know that for eVpry i along the line of, "'How can get my wife to go to the oe. tor?" I receive 99 asking, "How it." can I get my husband to go to the doctor?" And there follows a choice of symptoms: He has a chronic cough, his stomach both- ers him, he gets too tired, he's overweight, or underweight, or drinks too much, or whatever, If it's about children, their itches, their appetites, their nerves, their weight, the time at which they start to talk or walk or sit up, the amount they should sleep, or do they get enough milk or protein or vitamin D, the questions are from the mothers, not the fathers. BRINGS HOME BACON It isn't because fathers don't love their children as much as GALLUP POLL Jobless Benefit Abuse Main Public Criticism By The Canadian Institute Of Public Opinion Main criticism of the one in four men and women who dis- approve of the Unemployment Insurance plan, lies in the abuse it receives. Asked what they feel is wrong with the program, more than half of this segment say that too many non-deserving people are receiving it -- with many mentioning married wo- men and expectant mothers in particular. Others claim that the conditions for getting pay- ments are Mot strict enough while som¢ base their disap- proval on fhe personal problems they had £ollecting funds. On the other hand more than twice the proportion label the Unemployment Insurance pro- gram a good one -- but most of Unemployment Insurance is them are at a loss to say why they approve except in gener- alities--mainly 'It helps people who are out of work". Following wide-spread discus- sion on the effect of unemploy- ment on the funds available for this Insurance, and the need to sink more money into it, the Gallup Poll checked to see how the plan stood in the public's mind. Having established, in a previous report that 51 per cent think it a good plan, while 23 per cent label it bad, and the remainder with qualified ans- wers or no opinion, reporters took another step.. In homes across the province, scientific- ally selected, they asked Canad- dians why they thought as they did about the program. Here is the nation's thinking lined up in order of importance: a good plan because: It helps those who are out of work get enough so they can eat Like insurance of any "kina it's a protection for work- ers; something to fall back on 53% 12 It helps deserving people -- those who really want to work but can't find jobs It is of special value to those in seasonal work ........

" Legislative Results To Vote Jitters OTTAWA (CP)--Parliament's election jitters are producing results in a legislative way, if not in an electoral way. The new session which opened Jan. 18 is only 23 sitting days old but action already has been initiated on 26 of the 38 specifie proposals contained in the gov. ernment's legislative program. Work has been completed on eight of the 26. The 12 items on which noth- ing has been done so far, in- cluding some of Prime Minister Diefenbaker's pet personal pro- posals, could produce the hottest debates of the session--and per- haps provide the spark for an election. When the legislative program was outlined in the throne speech at Parliament's opening, many MPs were sure an elec- tion was imminent. The agenda contained a number of attrac- tive vote-getting measures. A pre-Easter election was pre- dicted, with dissolution by Feb. 17 to provide the necessary time to get Canada's cumbersome voting machinery rolling. WILL PROCEED Now, however, it appears the session will proceed as normal at least until the Wednesday or Thursday before Easter week- end, when Parliament would or- dinarily start its Easter recess.

Wives and mothers ask ques- tions about health, for the most part. It's the woman who reels off too many symptoms when she sees the doctor, and it's the man who, too often, walks in with the attitude of, 'Here I am! I won't tell you anything-- it's your job to find out what ails me." In fact, in case you hadn't no- ticed it already, men and women aren't alike. All I can say is that it would be a sorry world if we didn't have about as many men as women--and if there are any other men like J. J. K. who want me to. write about "men queries," they'll just have to send the questions they want answered, I'll take them as they come! But many problems applying to women also apply to men.
