She Oshawa Zunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, MARCH 12, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Canadians Can't Avoid Challenge Of Manpower Though there has been a marked improvement in the employment situ- ation in the past year, Canada con- tinues to face an important manpower challenge for the next few years, according to the current monthly review of the Bank of Nova Scotia. With a growing number of young people coming to working age, and with unemploymet still uncomfortably high, there is an obvious need for a strong and sustained expansion in Canadian jobs. Setting a target in terms of an unemployment rate of not over 4% of the labor force, the Review estimates that the required increase in total non-farm employment over the five years from 1960 to 1965 would be close to one million persons, or over 18%. For men alone, the needed percentage increase would be a little smaller than this, since it is expected that there will be a continued though somewhat more moderate in- crease in the proportion of women at work. By comparison with past accomp- lishments, these target rates of in- crease in employment are relatively high. Expansion of this magnitude has been achieved in only one five- year period since the war, and that was in the immediate postwar boom from 1946 to 1951, when there was a gain of some 17%% in total non- farm employment (and somewhat more than this for men alone). In the periods 1950-55 and 1955-60 the com- parable gains in the total were 14% and 16% respectively, and in this latter period the increase was only achieved because of an exceptionally rapid gain for women. The rise for men was less than 12%. Beyond these comparisons with the recent past, moreover, there is the concern which is frequently expressed about the possible impact upon jobs of a continued and possibly accele- rated trend towards automation. In this regard, unfortunately, concrete evidence remains very sketchy. On the one hand, it is true that the past few years have brought many revolutionary changes in demands, new automatic machines have been widely adopted, and new management techniques have also appeared. All of these changes have tended both to . economize on the direct use of labor and to require different kinds of work- ers. On the other hand, there is no indisputable evidence to support the thesis that productivity gains are now greater than in the past, and there have also been recent reports of dis- appointment with the results attained under some of the more striking ven- tures in the use of very large and complex types of automatic equip- ment. New undertaking might thus come. a little more slowly. More im- portant, however, is the historical ex- perience that technological advances to pave the way for long-run increases in employment, even though these indirect results cannot easily be traced. Though there are always elements of uncertainty in forecasting probable growth in the labor force, the Review notes that one distinct certainty for the period between now and 1965 is that there will be a growing number of young people in the working force. Already during the past few years, the number of young people coming to working age has begun to increase more noticeably, but this has been partly offset (especially among males) by the trend to a longer period of schooling. In the next few years, how- ever, the numbers arriving at working age will be rising even more rapidly, and the tendency towards added schooling might not go much further than it already has. It is certain, therefore, that there will be an acce- lerating inflow of young men into the labor force, even though it is difficult to tell exactly how rapid the expan- sion will be. Many of the influences underlying the actual growth of the labor force are, of course, adjusting continuously to the changing conditions in the labor market. Still Attend Churches Komsomolskaya Pravda, the Soviet Union's major newspaper for young Communists, has reported a worri- some fact: Young parents in Vladimir, a city 100 miles east of Moscow, have been taking their children to church. More unsettling, some parents are members of the Young Communist league, which is supposed to be com- bating religious worship in the Soviet Union. The Communist party's inability to rear all Soviet youth in atheism, a dogma of Russia communism, has concerned party leaders for decades. Subjected at times to ruthless persecu- tion, the Russian Orthodox church and minority religions in the Soviet Union -- Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Islam -- continue to survive, even if they do not flourish, the Milwaukee Journal points out. The Communist party, consistently hostile to religion, has pressed its at- tack with assorted tactics since the Bolshevik revolution 45 years ago. At various times in 1920's and 1930's, churches were closed or destroyed, their religious treasures looted, their 'She Oshawa Times T, L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

In World War II, Stalin made peace with the Russian Orthodox church, historically the religious backbone of the Soviet Union and old Russia. For acceptance of religious activity, he gained church support in the war with Germany, and tried to create an image of religious freedom in the Soviet Union that was designed to enhance relations with western allies. The Communist party now is follow- ing a soft sell policy toward the church. A central committee decree of 1954, which condemned insulting at- tacks on the clergy and religious, advised: "Patient, well organized scientific atheistic propaganda among the believers will help them finally free themselves from their religious errors." But missionary zeal among party faithful to convert Soviet citizens to atheism is lacking, according to a re- cent article in Voprosy Filosofii, a magazine of ideological discussion. Religious worship, it contended, is particularly prevalent among the 108 million rural population (108 million other Soviet citizens live in urban areas). One conclusion: "The family is the most important channel through which churches seek to disseminate their influence upon the young. At present, adherents of the Orthodox church and of Pro- testant sects are particularly concern- ed with drawing youth into their ranks." Such studied observations and re- ports have led to hopeful speculation in the west that the church is gaining strength in the Soviet Union. This is doubtful. The'church is tolerated, ap- parently on the theory that it does not pose a real threat to party rule, and that in time every, Soviet citizen will be an atheist. Obviously, however, neither violent oppression nor propaganda campaigns have yet succeeded in crushing reli- gious worship, . ers OTTAWA REPORT No Big Election Issues For Pat By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Will the 1962 elec- tion be "The Battle of the Mud"? The paign was op long ago on the floor of Parlia- ment and across the country. But no opposition party has yet been able to isolate a single complaint against the Diefen- baker government which the public will accept as a major election issue. At this time of unprecedent- edly high wages, and govern- ment policies which assist the farmer as never before, the NDP in desperation tried "neu- tralism'" as an issue. This flopped, so then the NDP glee- fully seized Prime Minister Diefenbaker's suggested issue "free enterprise versus social- ism". But the NDP realized too late that this is the noose in which it will hang itself. Recent a DANGEROUS FIRST STEPS UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Can't Control Spending Chancellor's Confession By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Chancellor of the Exchequer Selwyn Lloyd had an unpleasant task to perform, and was left wide open to the jibes of the opposition, when he in- formed the House of Commons that he had failed in his efforts to keep the increase in the gov- - ernment's spending for the next year down to two-and-a-half per cent. He had to confess that be- cause of heavy increases in the costs for education, agriculture, defence and the health services, the increase would be in the neighborhood of four-and-a-half per cent. The reply of the op- position was to the effect that but for the restrictive effect on the country's economy of gov- ernment policies, this increase could have been no problem, and could have been met quite easily. LESSER EVIL There were ways in which Mr. Lloyd could have kept his expenditures within the limit of the two and a half per cent in- crease, but if he had adopted them, the uproar from the op- position would have been far worse. For weeks the treasury has been wrestling with the ideas of cutting of some wel- fare services, reducing family allowances, making changes for some of the free health services and increasing charges for school meals. These would have saved the necessary millions, but would have given the Labor party a sturdy platform for an all-out attack on the govern- ment. And the results could have been disastrous politically for the government. So it, was obvious that, from a political standpoint, Selwyn Lloyd had chosen the lesser of two evils, inviting the opposition to centre its attack on him per- sonally, rather than on govern- ment policy with relation to the welfare services which have be- come almost the sacred cow of British politics. In the long- term view, it will probably be found that Mr. Lloyd chose the wiser course, even if it will add to his difficulties in presenting a balanced budget. STRANGE TACTICS Arrangements have been made for about 200 French paratroopers to come to Britain for a course of training along with British paratroop regi- ments. Announcement of this brought an immediate denuncia- tion from the Labor opposition benches, revealing a strange change of tactics on their part. The official Labor policy last fall recognized the validity of German tank troops coming to Britain for training, and sup- ported that governmert deci- sion. Now they are protesting against French paratroopers being brought to Britain for a similar purpose. Behind the opposition, led by Patrick Gordon-Walker, the op- position spokesman on defence, was the reason that French paratroopers have acquired a tough reputation. They are YOUR HEALTH Playpen Shouldn't Be Used As Prison By Joseph G. Molner Dear Dr. Molner: What do you think of keeping a 20-month- old, perfectly normal baby in a play pen all day? He is wild when he gets out.--MRS. B. C. I don't approve. The baby may be normal, but what about the parents? Are they keeping the little feller cooped up that way purely for their own con- venience? Mind you, I have nothing against a play pen. It is a useful invention, properly used. For the very little fellows, it's a means of giving them a safe place to begin creeping, learn- ing to haul themselves up on their feet, and so on. A period in the play pen gives mother a chance to get some of her housework done without wondering whether baby is get- ting into something. that may hurt him. It also protects the window curtains and such. (And I've known of people who put their Christm ee in a play pen, to keep the very little ones from tipping it over, picking the ornaments off, or getting their little hands on the lights.) But for several reasons, too much confinement in a play pen is harmful. CHILD SHOULD WALK A child of 20 months, on the average, should walk alone, sit in a small chair by himself, be toilet trained, show interest in toys. He needs to practice his walk- ing and his balance, learn to fall on his little bottom and get up again, and use up some of the energy in that growing body. If a child, kept all day in a pen, becomes "wild" when let out in the evening -- small wonder! I'd begin to worry if he didn't. He's making his protest against not being allowed to crawl, walk, fall and get up again. Let him work off his steam during the day, so he'll be tired enough to be sound asleep at 7 or 8 p.m. (Even after having an afternoon nap, or mid-day nap.) Finally, what about the frus- trated resentment that builds up from being penned too long? We wonder where excess ag- gressiveness comes from in some children. It can come from -too tight a rein, or too much confinement. Give a little man of 20 months his chance to start growing up! Dear Dr. Molner: I am a-man close to 50. Recently micro- scopic blood was found in my urine. One doctor suggested going to the hospital for a cysto- scopic examination. Another recommended a kidney X-ray which he called an "intravenous pyelogram."' What is your opin- ion?--G. M. I'm sure that either would be useful, and blood in the urine always should be investigated. If you find it in microscopic quantities, that's fine, because you're catching the trouble, whatever it is, earlier than you would if you could see the blood. My opinion is that the cysto- scopic examination gives more detailed information, since it permits visual observation of the wall of the bladder, and allows urine to be collected from each kidney separately, helping to determin the exact source of bleeding. Then a dye is inserted and x-rays taken -- giving the same data-as the intravenous pyelogram. NOTE TO J, A.: This "glassy" look might well occur when the person has some form of epi- lepsy. The medication is to pre- vent violent convulsions. charged with having beaten and tortured Algerian rebels. Left- wing Labor members are par- ticularly bitter on this point, and put forward the argument that at this particular moment, when delicate negotiations are going on in Algeria, it was un- wise to bring the paratroopers to Britain. Mr. Gordon-Walker said he would certainly oppose bringing to Britain any para- troopers who had been involved in the Algerian warfare. The question will be coming up in the House of Commons again, and the Labor viewpoint may again undergo a change. When the opposition protests were made, Mr. Gaitskell had not returned from his visit to the United States and Bermuda. It is just possible that his re- action may be quite different from that of his left-wing col- leagues. ROTODYNE SCRAPPED The Rotodyne vertical takeoff combination helicopter and air- liner, which so far has cost over $30 million to develop, is to be scrapped. This revolutionary aircraft, termed a helibus, was the first and most successful of its type. The British European Airways Corporation hoped to use it for quick inter-city travel, Since it required no runways. The armed forces were interest- ed in it as a transport aircraft. It looked like being a profitable venture for the Westland air- craft firm which was developing it. Now it has been given the axe -- by the government. Peter Thorneycroft, minister of avia- tion, said the defence ministry was no longer interested in it because of the cost. The BEA has changed its al- legiance to American helicop- ters, which might be built under licence in Britain. So the Roto- dyne, for which such high hopes were held in 1960, goes on the scrapheap without flying a single commercial flight, and the $30 million dolllars spent on it becomes money poured down the drain. And the net result will be that many of the work- ers of the Westland Company will find themselves without jobs. Altogether, it is an un- happy ending to what could have been a real success story. PROTEST EGG DUMPING Housewives of Britain are en- joying the lowest prices for eggs that they have known for long time. There is a glutted market. And British farmers have raised a protest because, in spite of the glut of home pro- duction, eggs from Poland are being dumped on the British market at prices which threat- en to knock the bottom right out of the market. Britain's farms are at the moment producing about 14,000,- 000 more eggs per week than the people of Britain can con- sume. At the same time, in one week, 4,300,000 eggs were im- ported from Poland and offered to wholesalers at 24 cents a dozen, which is eight cents less © than the wholesale price of British eggs. And in addition to this, the chairman of the Egg Marketing Board says it will | cost the government an addi- © BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO The Oshawa Branch of the National Employment Service opened its new office on Albert street, with a distinguished gathering of civic and provin- cial officials in attendance. Leo- nard F. D. Coulson was the manager. Rev. George Telford was re- elected chairman of the Osh- awa Branch of the Canadian In- stitute for the Blind. A central organization, known as the "Federation of Oshawa Civic, Educational and Recrea- tional Employees" was formed in the city. Constable H. Fayle of the police department was named president and M. Ost- ler of the fire department, sec- retary-treasurer. Fred Roy, local musician and teacher, was to conduct the Oshawa Skating Club Orches- tra at the annual show "Ice Frolics of 1947'. Capt. James D. Storie, son of A. G. Storie, was appointed Chief Pilot, Western Division of Trans-Canada Airlines. The Oshawa Kinette Club un- dertook a project of redecorate ing and equipping the play- rooms at the Children's Aid So- ciety residence on Centre street. Norman Attersley, president of the Oshawa Sea Scout Group Committee, was chairman at the 18th annual banquet of the 8th Oshawa Sea Scout Group. Jack Foster and Verne Um- phrey were presented with King's Scout Badges by their fathers, C. P. Foster and C. E. Umphrey. Barry Fox received his First Class Badge from Scoutmaster Eddie Alker. Leonard Knight, newly ap- pointed Executive Commission- er of the Oshawa Boy Scout As- sociation, was the guest speaker at the North Simcoe Home and School Association meeting, un- der the chairmanship of R. A. Wallace. A. G. Davis arranged the program. A full quota of 16 rinks of the Oshawa Curling Club parti- cipated in the last one-day- bonspiel of the season. Bill Brownlee's rink emerged as the top winner, followed by Paul Michael's rink who also won three games. Alex Brodie's rink had two wins. The members of Temple Lodge played hosts to their la- dies at the lodge's third annual ladies' night. The banquet was presided over by Wor, Master Bro. Eldon Southwell. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS MARCH 12, 1962... Billy Barker, VC, one of Can- ada's great air aces of the First World War, was killed 32 years ago today -- in 1930-- when his plane crashed at Ot- tawa. Manitoba - born Barker shot down 52 enemy planes, was twice wounded and rose to the rank. of lieutenant - colonel with the Royal Flying Corps. 1857--A train broke through a bridge over the Desjardins Ca- nal near Hamilton killing 70 persons. 1950 -- Eighty persons were killed when a plane carrying Welsh football fans from Dublin crashed near Cardiff. byelections in Ontario have clearly shown that Canada's well-heeled union members do not want a political movement to stamp its supporters as a permanently inferior social class. The housewives of Tor- onto, for example, did not like to be told "you are a working- class family, so you should vote for the working - class candi- date" and as the votes re- vealed, they rebelled at the bal- lot boxes against the NDP can- vassers. : YEARS BAN FEARS The Liberals first tried to make unemployment an issue. "Tory times are hard times," cried the Liberal doomsters and gloomsters. But the public knows that the recession start- ing in 1956 was the child of the Liberal government then in power, not the creation of the Diefenbaker government which took office one year later. This fact was established by the rev- ,elation that early in 1957 the Liberal government was warned by its economic advis- ers that Canada's economy was headed seriously downhill. But to assist their cause in the 1957 election, the Liberals "hid" that secret report from Cana- dians. Besides, with more Canadians working now than ever before, at unprecedentedly high aver- age wages, the electors are well aware that a record number of 430,000 new jobs were created in the first four years of the Diefenbaker government. This is far more than the 267,000 new jobs created under the Lib- erals even in the 1951 - 1955 boom caused by the Korean War; and more than the 310,000 new jobs available under the Liberals in the post-war recon- version boom of 1946-1950. Next the Liberals tried vainly to inflate the Coyne "affair" into-an election issue. But tax- payers felt little sympathy for their employee who was seek- ing a lifetime pension of $25,- 000 a year at age 51; and the voters recalled 'ong-ago news- paper accounts of -- disagree- ments between the government and Coyne, which would have led to his removal much earlier by a less patient government. MAKE ISSUE Next the Liberals tried to make an issue of our trade with Cuba. "The Tories are selling dynamite to the Communists," screamed Liberal spokesmen: But that fizzled quickly when it was revealed that it was a Liberal government in 1954 which had removed powdered dynamite from the list of banned strategic exports - be- cause it is used in road con- struction and the like, and has been superseded by more pow- erful explosives for warfare. So now in desperation, having failed to find an effective ma- terial issue, the Liberals have descended to personal attacks. Their. politicians and spokesmen stage an almost daily vilifica- tion of Prime Minister Diefen- baker himself. This includes terms so scurrilous, defama- tory and of course untrue that in private life the victim would take action for slander. This is "The Battle of the Mud". The Liberals are not showing us Canadian politics at their most admirable. But the bespattered public image of the Liberal party is already demon- strating that political mud is a boomerang. BACKACHE? ...not me! Lucky'Lady! Thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills she found relief from backache and that tired-out feeling. She has learned that if the kidneys become sluggish they permit impurities to remain in the system causing bladder and urinary irritation. Backache, tired-out feeling and disturbed rest often follow. Then she discovered (as many other men and women had) that Dodd's Kidney Pills were developed to help bring relief from just such conditions.
