he Oshawa Cines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1962--PAGE 6 Ottawa Makes Attempt To Cut Butter Surplus Ottawa has finally made a move to slow down the scandalous over-pro- duction of butter that has resulted in 200 million pounds of the stuff piling up and slowly deteriorating in storage. The support price to the producer will remain at 64 cents a pound, but the federal government will pay a "consumer" subsidy of 12 cents a pound, in the hope that the lower store price will attempt housewives to buy more butter and thus at least keep the surplus from growing any larger and perhaps even reduce it. The same time, the fluid milk pro- ducer who uses his extra milk for either. butter making or cheese pro- duction will not get the 12 cent sub- sidy -- and it is on this that the gov- ernment bases its hopes for a reduced make of butter. What it all boils down to is this: the margarine-consuming taxpayer is footing the bill for guaranteed prices to the butter. producer and lower, Hit-Run Big There were an estimated 15,000 hit- and-run cases in Canada last year. In Toronto alone there is an average of 200 hit-and-run cases a month. These figures are cited by Patrol Sgt. Don Saunders, head of the Metro- politan Toronto Police hit-and-run squad in an article in the Imperial Oil Review, in which he says that the contro] of this particular traffic offence has become too big a job for police to handle without help from citizens at large. Citizens can help police in three ways, he says. Both police and public would benefit if witnesses realized the importance of the tiniest and seemingly most trivial scrap of infor- mation. For instance, knowing the age and sex of the driver can be invalu- able to police. Some witnesses could help a lot more if they would write down what they see, especially licence numbers -- which are much harder to remember than most people think. Witnesses should not disturb the phony prices for the butter consumer. We go on paying for a product which has lost most of its market and is not likely to regain it: it's not likely that the housewife will be much more eager to buy butter at 55-59 cents a pound than she was when the price was 70 cents. And the so-called con- sumer subsidy will cost, according to estimates, from $35 million to $50 million, It's doubtful if any appreciable dent will be made in the 200-million-pound surplus. What will happen to it? In the past the government has made gifts of some butter; has sold it to hospitals at 40 cents a pound and to Czechs at 32 cents a pound. Maybe they'll find new uses for it in the future; maybe it could be used polish the unarmed Bomarc missiles that point their innocuous heads at the North Bay sky. But whatever happens, you can bet it's going to cosi us money. Problem scene of the accident and should pre- vent others from doing so until police arrive. Bits of glass, paint or metal are invaluable to police when turned to over to scientists and laboratory tech- nicians for examination. Scientists can tell from a sliver of glass, left at the accident scene, whether police should be looking for a North Amer- ican or European car and perhaps the make of the car. The hit-and-runner is a particularly vicious offender. He abandons a victim who may die for lack of early medical attention. And it seems that his number is increasing. Under the circumstances, we are surprised that Sgt. Saunders does not mention another potent weapon of contro] deterrence --- the penalty for hit-and-run. We believe that the penalty should be made much more severe, so that the offender is more afraid of the hit-and-run charge than the consequences of his immediately reporting the accident to police. Taxes And Employment One of these days Finance Minister Fleming will be presenting his new budget to Parliament. He is undoub- tedly working on it right now --- and as he works, we hope that he is giving much thought to the influence fiscal policy exerts on the employment of people and resources. North America is une of the world's rich areas in both human and natural resources, but the paradox of our time is that both are almost chronically under-employed. The factors com- bining to create this situation are many, but certainly not the least of these, particularly in Canada, is the tax structure. The magazine U.S. News and World Report took a look the other day at the use of resources in various parts of the world, in relation to the fiscal policies pursued in those areas. The conclusion was that in nearly all major industrial nations, other than the United States and Canada, there are "more jobs than there are workers to fill them . . .

In Europe and Japan tax allowances for depreciation of plants and equipment are more liberal, and the tax burden on income is lighter, with the result that there is a higher rate of invest- ment in new economic growth. The magazine explains the "Lighter taxes on income in Europe are made possible by levying stiffer taxes on consumption.

Can spina bifida be detected early in pregnancy? -- MRS, J Spina bifida is one of "birth defects" for which the cause has not been found. Phy- siologically, one of the bones of the spine does not completely unite, especially in the. lower back It is unusual for a mother to have two such children, but since little is known about the problem, I can only say that a third child might be so afflicted It would be very strange for this to happen, but I have no evi dence which to say it couldn't. There is no way to foretell spina bifida, in pregnancy either early or late. Indeed, after the child is born there is often no visible sign except sometimes a small '"'dimple":in the extreme lower back, and X-rays may be necessary before a diagnosis can be made with certainty Spina bifida is not very com mon, and despite the very sad experience in today's letter above, it is by no means always fatal Dear Dr. Molner: Some years ago I had an operation for hem- orrhoids, I feel the urge to go but apparently do not have enough muscle tone to be com pletely successful.

A significant milestone was the recent opening by Justice Minister Davie Fulton of a "minimum security farm" near the site of the incarceration of some of Canada's toughest criminals, Montreal's St. Vin- cent de Paul penitentiary. This 650-acre farm is the first of six planned across Canada. It will house up to 90 prisoners © i the man who has built himself who have earned minimum se- curity by their good conduct. There they will be able to earn maximum rates of prison pay, working as farmers. They will sleep in. dormitories, eat to- gether, and even be able to take correspondence courses to im- prove their post-release earning capacity Freed from the corral of high walls, floodlights and guns, the farm-prisoners would find es- cape comparatively easy. But this, too, is part of the new philosophy, intended to teach convicts to discipline them selves TOWARDS THE LIGHT "These camps are a forward step in the organization of our new penitentiary system,"' says Mr. Fulton Only one in every four Cana- dian convicts is by nature the gun-toting type, dangerous to society. But even the gun-toters cannot be locked up for life, so the best protection to society is to reform them. Under our me dieval bear-cage system, young and old, hardened criminals and first offenders, sneak thieves and sadists, were all herded to- gether and treated the same way. The contagion of criminal ity snowballed with resentment against punishment, to convert the one-shot offender into a con sistent sinner--as the high rate of recidivism has shown But our new system of placing more emphasis on _ psychiatry than on punishment is eliminat- ing contagion and resentment Thus Canada, it is hoped, will be made a safer and more law- abiding. country, through the moral and vocational training offered to prisoners, and hence through a hugely increased rate of true rehabilitation "We have changed the basic concept of imprisonment," says Mr. Fulton, one of the most en- lightened members of the pro- gressive government, "Instead of letting the punishment fit the TODAY IN HISTORY THE CANADIAN PRESS April, 5, 1962 .. .

Despite all that has been done to help our old age pensioners, our farmers, our manufactur- ers, our Maritimers, our unem- ployed and other groups, there are solid grounds for the belief held by some politicians that the greatest benefits of this govern- ment have been conferred upon those who were formerly con- demned to the biblical "'an eye for an eye" type of revenge. THE KAMLOOPS CRUSADER For this, all praise belongs to QUEEN'S PARK in 17 years from a young Oppo- sition back-bencher to minister of justice: who in five consecu- tive elections has increased his appeal in his native Kamloops so that his majority has risen from a mere 177 to a staggering 10,990, which forced all his three opponents to forfeit their depos- its. Now only just past his 46th birthday, he is not a young man * in a hurry; and he has pre- ferred the prestige of the un- heralded justice portfolio to, say, the rostrum in the spot- light which Paul Martin made of the health portfolio. Simil- arly he had judged that his po- litical ambitions and his un- questioned abilities would be better served as a federal min- ister than as Conservative leader in the B. C. provincial field. Mr. Fulton's next big achieve- ment, on which great progress has already been made, may well be the final formality of Canadian independence -- the repatriation of our constitution, Standards Would Reduce Officials By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- There are two points of further interest in this year's municipal law amend- ments, One of these is a change that doesn't appear. It concerns a pet project, or hope, of professional . officials here under which all local treas- urers and clerks would have to have minimum standards of qualification There are good reasons why it isn't being put into law this year A principal one is that if proper standards were laid down a good number of local Stricken City Being Rebuilt By STEPHEN HUGHES AGADIR, Morocco (Reuters) --A new town is slowly rising on the Atlantic coast here, re- placing the old town of Agadir, devastated by a terrifying earth- quake in 1960 Two years ago, Agadir was a thriving industrial and tourist centre of 45,000 persons, built on the edge of a superb bay on the Atlantic coast and sheltered by a scrub-strewn mountain peak crowned by a Basbah fortress. Just before midnight Feb, 28, 1960, there was. a whine, fol- lowed by a rumbling like the sound of an approaching ex- press train The earth shook violently. The. city © collapsed with a roar of tumbling ma- sonry. All the lights went out, and an eerie silence fell It was all over in 12 seconds. Now the 34,000 survivors are rebuilding their city at a cost of 300,000,000 dirhams (approxi- mately $60,000,000), As a precaution, the centre of the new Agadir has been shifted about two miles to the south, away from the geological fault or rift along which the earth trembled, and all the new buildings conform to special earthquake resisting stand- ards The original town has been razed, Only a network of roads now shows where the disaster struck The new town planning like a letter T turned toward the Agadir. a model of will be shaped with the top sea WALKER'S officials wouldn't be able to come up to them. "Political" Appointments Failure to act, however, doesn't mean that the aim is being dismissed here-or proba- bly ever will. But the job of meeting it is one that probably will have to be done slowly The fact is that there are a great number of local officials throughout the province who were originally appointed for at least semi-political reasons. Many of them are former reeves, wardens etc. who were given local openings as they came up. The more important reason for their appointments was pop- ularity with their fellow coun- cillors rather than any particu- lar technical proficiency. And having been appointed on a semi - patronage basis they often don't have the strength to keep councils in line-and this is an important part of their jobs. But still we can't bring in leg- islation here which would put them: out of work. One day, however, we will al- most certainly see some form of "registered" clerks and treasurers SURRENDERS HOURS The second point of interest is that the government, so far as possible, is apparently trying to. wash its hands of local store closing hours. Responsibility for the closing- coming under the Factory, Shop and Building Act - is being shifted to the Department of Municipal Affairs, And once there-if the change is approved by the heuse-hours will be established through local by-law, at the discretion of councils, It is questionable whether anyone will particularly blame the government for giving up on this one. A few years ago, when the question was very heated, it did look into the possibility of set- ting zones which would take in an entire urban market area covering several municipalities. But it couldn't find a practical approach Since then there has been the trend to shopping plazas (and a situation even more difficult to control.) Service station control will re- main under the Industrial Standards Act, but there also will be more municipal discre- tion in this field.
