She Oshawa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E.; Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Sound Development Seen In Lake Ontario Region A special economic survey of the Lake Ontario Region forecasting "a sound and progressive form of development" in the future has been released by the Ontario Department of Economics and Develop- ment. This study, which identifies and analyzes the major areas of economic activity, indicates that the Region's economic base is broadening at an en- couraging pace and that its secondary industry is becoming more diversified. The Region comprises the counties of Peterborough, Northumberland, Durham, Hastings, Victoria, Lennox and Ad- dington, Prince Edward and Haliburton. "Adjacent to Metropolitan Toronto's huge and growing central market area, provided with an extensive and modern network of transportation facilities and an energetic and versatile work force, the area is certain to attract more new industry and see the further expansion of resident enterprises during the sixties," the report says. The Region's population -- now an estimated 338,000 persons -- is expected to exceed 450,000 by the mid-seventies. A substantial rise in population has pro- vided the labor force necessary to imple- ment the advances made in manufactur- ing, agriculture and other facets of the economy. The labor force is estimated at 130,000, or about 38 per cent of the population. Personal income, estimated at $445,000,000 in 1960, was about 86 per cent higher than in 1951, an increase which is reflected in improved housing and higher living standards. Since 1955, more than 100 manufac- turing firms have established new plants, opened new branches or made additions to existing plant capacity in the area. Dairying and livestock raising -- both important to. the Regions agricultural industry -- are expected to be stimu- lated by the growing domestic market and the increased use of improved bulk storage and transportation facilities. 'Recent trends indicate that the Region's tourist industry can expect to grow and flourish in the coming years, and assume an even more important role within the area's economic frame- work. The Lake Ontario Region Survey is the fifth in a series on Ontario's ten economic regions prepared by the On- tario Department of Economics and Development. The purpose of these studies is to analyze the areas of economic growth in the various regions and assess the contribution of each region to the economic life of the province as a whole. Hydro Power Exports Canadian governments, Conservative and Liberal have been traditionally opposed to the export of electrical power. But times change along with energy sources and supplies. Now a substantial and important body of opinion is deve- loping in opposition to the traditional policy, particularly as it affects the use of hydro-electric sources in British Columbia. It is possible that if Justice Minister Fulton were not so deeply embroiled in argument with B.C. Premier Bennett over the proposed development of the Columbia River, and if a federal election were not imminent, the federal govern- ment might change its mind about power exports. Hugh L. Keenleyside, chairman of the B.C. Power Commission, recently had this comment: "How can any rational observer accept the logic of a national energy policy that permits the sale abroad four non-renewable resources of oil, gas, coal and wood, but will not permit the temporary sale of the product of our perpetual resource of water power? The extreme example of this economic eccen- tricity is the argument that it is ap- propriate to let the Columbia water run at waste into the U.S. and thence to the sea, but that it is somehow immoral or unpatriotic or improvident to control and sell that water to the U.S. at a most handsome profit!" Another man in the "expert" category, J. Herbert Smith, president of Canadian General Electric, also sees many advan- tages from the export of power "with appropriate safeguards." The income earned would improve Canada's balance of payments; costs to Canadian consum- ers would probably be lowered; more jobs would be created. These are just two voices favoring a change of policy. But there is no chance of a change before the next federal election. Supplying The Doctors A short time ago we commented on the report of a Canadian Medical Asso- ciation committee which had studied the situation in medical education in Canada. It was noted that the present ratio of doctors to population was barely ade- quate for the operation of a national health plan, that the ratio had been maintained during the postwar years only because of the arrival in Canada of doctors from other countries, and that there would have to be more medical students in more medical schools if there were to be enough properly qualified physicians in Canada for the proper operation of a national health plan. Now we learn that the inadequate supplying of doctors threatens the British health plan. The eminent British physi- cian, Lord Taylor writes in the Sunday She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

The number of retirements from the active -profession in the U.K. will reach a peak in five years, under the NHS pension plan. Fever general practitioners are carrying on after re- tiring age, and "altogether it is a bleak and tragic outlook, which needs only the development of postgraduate training in India and Pakistan to produce to collapse of our health services." The number of doctors who will graduate from British medical colleges over the next seven years is determined now and it will not be sufficient to meet the needs of a growing population. Lord Taylor, writes: "In terms of hands, one source of relief may be the coming of the Common Market. Italy has been overproducing doctors, and no doubt those who cannot find jobs at home will welcome the con- ditions which the NHS has to offer. But unless we can give these doctors proper postgraduate training and experience, standards will be bound to suffer. "The present situation is that outside the great teaching hospitals and the more attractive areas in the south of England, there is scarcely a_ hospital which could keep going without its junior doctors from India and Pakistan, Egypt and Israel and Africa, Malta and Por- tugal, Turkey, China, Greece and Ceylon. These young doctors are coming here to learn, and after a year most of them return to their homes. They are com- ing to the least satisfactory hospitals for teaching, where there is least supervision and where they are expected to take most responsibility." THE RIDDLE OF THE SPHINX OTTAWA REPORT = Sevigny Remark Backed By Facts By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The Hon. Pierre Sevigny, associate minister of national defence, was invited to address the annual meeting of the Quebec Association of Archi- tects in Montreal early this month. That cabinet minister was sufficiently appreciative of his learned hosts to deliver a very profound speech, Unlike the average banquet speaker who says little in many words, Mr. Sevigny packed many ideas into a mere 3,000 words. Among the many points of major concern to Canadians which he reviewed were nuclear warfare, the spread of commu- nism, counter-propaganda and international trade. He persua- sively reasoned that a link may exist in solving these worries. If we can open up foreign markets for two-way trade, Mr. Sevigny pointed out, we will not only maintain our own prosper- ity by selling our immense sur- plus production; we. will help our new trading partners by buying their materials in re- turn, and also reveal to them the attractions of our demo- cratic way of life. If citizens of foreign countries are able to enjoy the success of our system, he suggested, we will win them to our cause, so that they will join with us in combatting the evil of world-wide communism. Few Canadians will argue against the urgency to expand our foreign trade. All will wel- come the novel concept that this could also serve as power- ful and needed free world prop- aganda. CONSTRUCTION BOOM AHEAD Praising Canada's domestic development, Mr.. Sevigny re- vealed that government experts have forecast that 600,000 new homes may be built in Canada during the next four years. This would indicate a boom for the industry which directly and in directly employs more Cana- dians than any other. Our home- builders have never before at- tained this huge volume. But out of those 3,000 words, political and newspaper critics focussed on just 14 words: "in the past six months communist governments have taken over British Guiana and Ecuador." With a great howl heard across Canada, parliamentary time and newsprint were frit- tered on what was perhaps a diplomatic faux-pas, yet was certainly supported by facts and was in no event a matter of domestic political concern. Liberal and NDP MPs criticised Mr. Sevigny for that presumed mote, but none referred to his very real nugget suggesting a housing boom. Newspapers like- QUEEN'S PARK Security Plan Seen Within 12 Months By DON O0'HEARN TORONTO--By this time next year farmers, farm laborers, professional men and small businessmen probably will be part of a national pension scheme. It is forecast here that the new federal contributory social security program could be in operation within 12 months. One of the more important results will be that the above large group will be taking part in a security program. Does this make our people here happy? Happy is hardly the word. It gives our welfare officials very deep satisfaction. For they have been advocat- ing a contributory social secu- rity program for some time. (Three years ago the deputy minister of welfare, James Band, made a most enlightened plea for such a program in his department's annual report). Ontario alone probably would have gone ahead on its own if there had been any practical way of doing it. But the only practical ap- proach was on a federal basis. TOPS U.S. As this is written detsils of the new federal scheme haven't been announced. But it is understood here that the program will even go be- yond that in the U.S.--and how many Canadians have been casting jealous eyes at U.S. so- cial security? Care of the aged particularly will be an improvement over the U.S. system -- where only the indigent qualify. And there will be other areas in which the Canadian program goes further (We have had the U.S. experi- ence to build on, of course). NOW "PAID" But the most pleasing feature here is that we are moving to- wards contributory welfare. 4 Anybody who has been close to it really can't agree with "handout" welfare, which is what we have known. It gets thoroughly enmeshed in politics--with pensions etc., set on a basis of pleasing the voters rather than what the sit- uation calls for. With it pay-as-you-go govem- ment performs its proper func- tion as the fountain-head, the or- ganizer, and the good shepherd to protect against disaster. And those receiving assist- ance feel more healthy about it, of course. They don't? Well consider this. We know of a youth in Guelph now. His wife hasn't applied for mother's allowance. It is "char- ity." Oh yes there are people like that. If her husband had been paying his way she would take her allowance, however. And she and her child would get the sustenance they should have. They didn't commit the fraud. TODAY IN HISTORY By The Canadian Press Feb. 24, 1962... Premier Ahmed Maher of Egypt was shot and killed in the Chamber of Deputies 17 years ago today--in 1945 --shortly after reading a royal decree declaring war on the Axis. 1947--Franz von Papen was sentenced to eight years by a German de- nazification court at Nuern- berg for his work in Hit- ler's diplomatic corps. 1940 -- The Spanish gov- ernment banned Freemas- onry. wise rated it more important to Canadians that Mr. Sevigny be chided for his reference to com- munism in two small Latin- American countries. WHO KNEW THE TRUTH? This raises the pertinent ques- ; ,tions? How shallow can political : critics get? How sensational do we want our press? Well-informed observers sug- gest that the Opposition in Press and Parliament was chas- ing an imaginary witch. For ex- ample, the responsible Reuters news agency reports that Cheddi Jagan, prime minister of British Guiana, "styles him- self a Marxist-Leninist, and was ousted as head of the colonial government in 1953 when the British feared he was about to establish a Communist bridge- head in South America." Else- where he was reported to have married "a Young Communist Leaguer in Chicago, and have returned home yelling Marxist war cries". Headlined Turn to the Left, a report on Ecuador's president Carlos Arosemena described how he had recently visited Moscow and returned calling Khrushchev "my friend', and said that 'the vowed to support Castro's Cuba, and issued an invitation to other Communist lands."" Very recent events in British Guiana also support Mr. Sev- igny's opinion. But the moral of that episode might be that Ca- nadians should not have national news suppressed so that atten- tion can be given to splitting hairs as to whether foreign poli- ticians are communists, or yell like communists or are the friends of Communists. It is a great tribute to the achievements of our government that its political opponents can only find such picayune grounds for an attack upon one of its ministers. BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO P. H. Punshon retired as sec- retary of the Board of Educa- tion after 21 years service. In the Sunday School Hockey League finals, King Street de- feated South Oshawa 2-1, but lost out in the two-game series by a one goal margin. Al and Ross Flintoff starred for King Street, while defenceman Hutchinson was the best for South Oshawa. The huge plant of Thornton Rubber Co. was seriously dam- aged by.fire, the loss being esti- mated at between $75,000 and $100,000. The International Rotary Movement, which was organ- ized at Chicago Feb. 23, 1905, observed its 17th anniversary. The Oshawa Rotary Club was formed on March 20, 1920. Garnet L. Galley of Toronto was appointed secretary of the Oshawa YMCA, It was reported that plans were being made for the erec- tion of a large hotel in Oshawa. Margaret Lochead, Kathleen Colvin, Annie Dime, Harriett Davidson and Helen Pollard, all pupils of Miss Mildred Ellis, successfully passed the Toronto Conservatory of Music examin- ations. UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Little Chance Of Cuts In British Taxes Seen By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- One of the ques- tions agitating British business and financial circles has to do with the budget which the Chancellor of the Exchequer has in course of preparation. Apart from a conviction that it will not be a very cheerful bud- get, there are surprisingly few predictions of what it is likely to cntain. Only one thing seems certain. There is little possibil- ity, in view of the government's determined fight to keep infla- tion in check, of any significant reductions in taxation. The only field in which there is a possibility of reducton is that of purchase tax, and that might well be confined to re- moving the surcharge which was imposed in July of last year when the pay and credit freeze came into effect. One new tax which is expected to be imposed is a capital gains tax. Politically, Selwyn Lloyd is pretty well committed to a tax of this nature It may not bring in anything like the amount of money opposition leaders sug- gest, and costly machinery will be required to collect it, so that its political aspects are more im- portant than those which are financial. Mr Lloyd hopes that it will put the trade unions into a more amenable frame of mind, MAY BE PROMISES As a matter of fact, it is like- ly that the budget will be one of promises for the future, with certain conditions attached, rather than one of immediate performance The Chancellor knows, also, that any large im- position of new taxes would only strengthen the unions in making a new round of claims for higher wages, and he is in enough trouble on that score now without aggravating it. Some illuminating figures have been produced to show the extent to which British stan- dards of living have improved in the last 10 years. They tell their own story of a growing prosperity for the wage-earners of the country. In 1951, the average weekly wage was about $24; in 1961, it was close to $46. The total an- nual consumer spending at con- stant prices in 1951 amounted to over $33,000 million; in 1961, it had risen to over $44,000 mil- lion. The index of industrial production in 1951 was 91; it was 122 in 1961. The annual production of automobiles rose from 476,000 in 1951 to 1,185,000 in 1961, The index of exports rose from 90 to 125. And the number of television licences jumped from 764,000 in 1951 to 11,700,000 in 1961. These tigures are being used to show that the last 10 years have not been a period of stag- nation, but one of consistent progress in the country's economy. SOUTH AFRICANS ALIENS A bill which has been intro- duced in the House of Commons provides for the final break be- tween Britain and the Republic of South Africa. From May 31 on, South Africans who are British subjects only because of citizenship of South Africa will be classed as aliens. Ex- ception is made in the case of South Africans working in posi- tions which are closed to aliens. They have until the end of 1965 to apply for British citizenship; otherwise they will have to give up their jobs The new arrangements with South Africa, however, have not been made unduly harsh. Special provision in the bill provide for continuance of the Commonwealth preference in trade relations with South Africa, and that country will still benefit under the terms of the special price arrangements for sugar. This is in line with what was done in the cases of the Irish Republic and Burma when they seceded from the Commonwealth. This arrange- ment suggests that in spite of differences of opinion on the apartheid policies in South Africa, there is still a desire on both sides to retain goodwill and harmonious relations with each other. JAMAICA AND KENYA The Jamaica _ constitutional conference held in London was an amicable and peaceful meet- ing, and it did not last long. This was because the prime minister of Jamaica and the leader of the opposition came to London with any differences already resolved, and with joint recommendations. There was, because of this, a quick deci- sion that Jamaica would attain full independence within the Commonwealth on August 6 of this year. *° YOUR HEALTH Mind Still Works Awake Or Asleep By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: The other night I walked in my sleep. I got up and took my quilt down- stairs and put it over the couch and went back to bed. I am 12 years old and very concerned about this It has happened before but not as seriously. Please answer. M.K. We'll have to remember, my little friend, that our minds keep working, just like our hearts and lungs and stomachs, all the time, whether we are awake or asleep. That's why a good many of us can go to bed and yet wake up within. a few minutes of the proper time even if we forget. to set the alarm clock. We call it "subconscious" thinking. Another form of thinking, while we're asleep, is dreaming. We imagine all sorts of curious things, but imagination is still a form of thinking. We also squirm around in our sleep, wriggle, rol! over. If we've kicked some of the covers off, we curl up in a ball to keep warm -- because, subcon- sciously, we think about the fact that we're cold So you see that our minds tell us to do things even while we're asleep. Well, sometimes, for one rea- son or another, our active sleepy minds work su vigorously that we respond even more actively than just dreaming or curling up to keep warm. Some- times an occasional thought breaks through into action. It's like a dream only more intense. That's sleep-walking. We don't have any reason to worry about this unless it hap- pens frequently, or in our sleep- walking we begin tu go to ex- tremes--like doing something that might be dangercus. If that happens, the chances are that some permanent worry is bothering us, either con- sciously or subconsciously, and we then ought to have a psy- chiatrist help us to find out what it is, and put an end to it. But for just ordinary, occa- sional, simple little cases of 135 SIMCOE ST. NORTH @ RESIDENT PARTNERS Gordon W. Riehl, C.A., R.LA. Burt R. Waters, C.A. Hon. J. W. Monteith, F.C.A., M.P. Gordon W.

No, Asthma is a spasm of the bronchial passages, which nat- urally results in' shortness of breath and wheezing. There are different causes of these spasms: Allergy (possibly or probably coupled with nervous tension); or a particular reac- tion to some infection, chronic bronchitis being an outstanding example. Dear Dr. Molner: I have bun- fons on both feet I understand that nothing can be done about them, but that there are shields to put over: them so they won't hurt. -- J.R. It isn't true that nothing can be done about bunions, although their correction isn't simple. It takes years of irritation and pressure (from wrongly-fitted Shoes or whatever to cause bunions. By that time, the large joint at the base of the big toe is misshapen. Shields, medicine or other "easy" remedies won't work then. But surgical removal of the thickened portion, plus cor- rectly-fitted shoes afterwards, is a sensible solution. No such happy conclusion can be expected from the crucial conference now being held on the future status of Kenya. Leaders of the Kenya political parties have come to London still hopelessly at odds on what they want the future of their country to be. Yet they have one demand in common -- that Kenya be granted its complete independence this year. It is quite certain that this goal of the African party lead- ers will not be attained. The British government's policy will be to keep Kenya waiting until there are more signs of politi- cal stability than appear at present. From the British view- point, there must be measures to safeguard the rights of and tribal minorities and to pro- tect the position of the 700,000 Europeans in Kenya. With the Kenya party leaders taking a high and mighty attitude, there are going to be difficult discus- sions before any agreement of any kind can be reached, and Jomo Kenyatta and Tom Mboya will find it necessary to tone down many of their demands before that can happen RIGHTS OF PEERS Lord Kilmuir has the task of heading the committee which is to deal with reforms in :he constitution of the House of Lords, It is an all-party com- mittee, and it has been given virtually a free hand to decide on the rights of peers to give up their titles and sit in the House of Commons, and under what conditions they can do so. And what is important to Lord Stansgate, who prefers to be known as Mr. Wedgwood Benn, the committee has the power to decide that this right could be made retroactive to in- clude peers who have already succeeded to a title. Meanwhile, another reluctant peer has appeared on the hori- zon. The new Earl of Dunmore, who has succeeded his grand- father to the title, is sticking to his former name of John Murray. He is a 22-year-old public relations man in Glas- gow, and says that for profes- sional reasons he will continue to use the name with which he was born -- plain John Murray. While he was actually entitled to be known as Viscount Fin- castle before the death of his grandfather, he has always sought to keep his title secret. He found people were more at ease with him as John Murray than as a titled person.
