Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1962---PAGE 6-- 'Seed Money Provides For More Boys Clubs With money provided by interested individuals and organizations, a Boys' Club building is to be put up in Osh- awa. Its main feature will be an in- door swimming pool, a facility for which there has long been a need in the city. With headquarters in Montreal and regional officers in Vancouver and Toronto, the Boys' Clubs of Canada are an organization of 83 member clubs in 47 communities across the country. They are designed to pro- vide recreation, guidance 'and leader- ship to youngsters between the ages of seven and 17, and charge extre- mely modest fees that do not come close to paying for the facilities made available to the youngsters. The 83 clubs have a total membership of 60,000. Apart from a total of $25,000 in annual grants from three provincial governments and the federal govern- ment, the clubs and the national headquarters are financed by dona- tions from interested individuals, ser- vice clubs and business firms. These cash donations are called "seed money" because they are used mainly to build or buy quarters for new clubs. Executive director Vernon Mc- Adam says: "This seed money comes from men who believe in boys. Very often they are men who succeeded because of boys' club training. They give not only of their wealth, but of their time and interest. As a result we've opened 25 new buildings in the past 12 vears, and four more are in the planning stage." One big problem of the movement is leadership. Part-time volunteer workers do what they can, but there must also full-time effort. The organization started a scholarship program in 1958, and during the past school year there were 18 scholar- ship students at Sir George Williams College in Montreal. The students get help in return for boys' club work, be Imbalance Of Voters Among those who, by accident or design, have heretofore overlooked the fact that Canada has emerged from being predominantly agricul- tural to being a predominantly indus- trial nation are the parliamentary committees which from time to time have superintended the redistribu- tion of House of Commons' seats. As a national Canadian business newspaper observed recently, some 51% of Canada's population live in urban areas of over 40,000 persons, while the remaining 49% live in rural areas or in towns and cities of under 40,000. Yet the city dwellers, who make up 51% of the nations' population, elect but 41% of the House of Com- mons' members, leaving the' balance -- some 59% -- to be elected by their rural and small city votes. One can only hope that the inde- pendent commission, which is to redistribute seats on the basis of the 1961 census, will take note of this imbalance, and that it will ensure that representation in the House of Commons in future, is more in accor- dance with population, Bad Example Of Adults City dwellers who had not found time to open their summer cottages until the Victoria Day weekend got perfect weather for their annual chore, but the mid-summer heat could not match the temperature of those who found that vandals had been at work in and around their cottages. Other weekend holidayers found that vandals had been at work in provincial parks, roadside picnic areas and public gardens, upsetting and destroying tables and benches, up- rooting trees and shrubs, and scat- tering garbage far and wide. The Welland Tribune notes that "some communities have tried penalizing parents of youthful van- dals but this approach is considered West Indies Creation of a new eight-island federation in the British West Indies has been agreed upon in principle be- tween the British government and the island governments at a constitu- tional conference in London.

MOLNER, MD Letters from readers continue to pour in about the carefree notion that 'calories don't count" in reducing programs.

You reap friendliness. Eat more than you use up, and you acquire fat; eat less than you use, and you burn up some fat Motivation is dieting: If you want to lose weight urgently enough, you can, But you can't do it by say- ing, "Of course I want to lose weight -- but I can't stop eat- ing." Therefore all sorts of gim- micks have been devised to help people of feeble determina tion to reduce.

MCINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON--A speed limit of 50 miles per hour has been im- posed on the main trunk high- ways of Britain, but it will be effective only from Friday at mid-day until midnight on Sun day each weekend. Some 750 miles of main roads will be covered by this speed limit, which will come into effect on June 8, the Whitsun -- holiday weekend, and will remain in force at all subsquent week ends until September 18, Ernest Marples, Minister of Transport, announcing this new speed limit, said that it had been so successful in reducing traffic accidents when it was tried as an experiment last sum mer that it was being imposed on a larger scale this year. FURTHER EXTENSION Mr. Marples said the results would be very carefully studied this summer, and that he hopes they would produce evidence on which a final decisioh can be made whether to apply the 50 mile speed limit on all roads in the country at weckends next summer. This will be possible under wider powers which the Minister proposed to incorporate in the Road Traffic Bill which is to come before Parliament A comprehensive review has already been made comparing the number of accidents in the summer weekends of 1959, be- fore the weekend speed limit was instituted. A survey was also made of accidents on 1000 miles of other roads, not sub- ject to the speed limit but carrying a similar. volume and type of traffic. These were known as control roads DROP OF 295 The comparative tables show- ed that the 50 miles per hour limit roads had 842 accidents in 1961, compared with 1137 in 1959, a drop of 295. The control roads had 595 accidents last year com- pared with 758 in 1959, a drop of 161 This is taken to indicate that the 50 miles per hour speed limit resulted in a 26 per cent reduction in accidents compar- ed with 21 per cent on the roads not subject to a speed limit. These figures were borne out in the number of fatal and serious casualties which drop. ped from 594 to 309 (31 per cent) on the 50 mph roads and from 450 to 358 (22 per cent) on the no-limit roads At the two major holiday weekends, Whitsun and Bank Holiday, the speed limit will be in force from 6 a.m. on Friday until midnight on Sunday Among the roads which are affected by the speed limit are parts of the London-Edinburgh (Al); London-Norwich (A11); London-Great Yarmouth (A2); Sidcup Road, Woolwich (A20); London-Dover (A20); London- Brighton (A23); .London-Ports mouth (A3); London-Bristol (A4); and ~~ London-Fishguard (A40); Other roads will include parts of the A2 in Kent, the A3 in Surrey and the A4 in Berk- shire of some poundage--after which all these half - starved people Start eating aagin, and put the pounds back on IT SOUNDED WONDERFUL Then along came another diet, an experiment based on mak- ing people eat a whole lot of protein but not much else, It sounded wonderful: "Eat all the meat you want." That's the sort of thing that appeals to people who like to eat. Follow me? Well, the new fad is a varia- tion of the "DuPont experi- ment."' Stuff people with pro- tein (they can tolerate only about so much, and then they rebel), and then fill 'em up with fats (vegetable fats this time, which seems all right to me), and strictly limit other things, especially sugars and Starches which are tasty but fattening, and what happens? They consume fewer calories! Told that they can "'eat all they want" of protein and fat, they think it sounds like paradise. It's only when they are up to their ears in protein and fats, and start yearning for a jelly sandwich or a slab of pie, cream in their coffee and a fudge sundae, that they recog- nize the new 'miracle' as just another way of tricking them- selves into eating less, GIMMICKS ARE GIMMICKS If gimmicks can get the pounds off, it's O.K. with me; But a gimmick is a gimmick, and a calorie is a calorie. And whatever gimmick is used for reducing, it still isn't worth a hoot unless the individua! learns how to eat, He's got to learn just how much he can eat, for his particular metabolism and degree of activity, so he won't be hungry but still won't eat a little more than he needs. That's fundamental in my own reducing programs, and it has to be fundamental in any- one's. What you don't eat this week can make you slimmer; what you do eat, in excess, in the succeeding year is what makes you fat.

Hamil- ton Powder Company in 1862, Lack Of Dollars Cutting Canadian Sales To Cuba By JACK BEST OTTAWA (CP) -- Canadian $ trade with Cuba is expected to take a nosedive this year. The anticipated decline to perhaps an even lower level than before the United States applied economic sanctions against the Castro regime may remove a thorny irritant from Canadian-American relations. Authorities here are con- vinced that, barring unforeseen developments, Cuban purchases from Canada in 1962 will be only a fraction of the $31,104,000 they reached in 1961. They reason that the total ban on Cuba's dollar - earning exports to the U.S. will dry up the Caribbean country's supply of concertible currency used to finance purchases from Can- ada. One estimate is that Canadian exports to Cuba will just about level out with Cuba's sales to Canada, not much higher than the $5,000,000 to $6,000,000 ex- pected to be the final 1961 fig- ure. NEW ORDERS DROP New orders from Cuba are Teported to have practically ceased in the last several months. The $31,104,000 in Canadian sales to Cuba last year, com pared with $13,038,000 in 1960 and $15,222,000 in 1959, repres- ented about one-half of one per cent of this country's total ex- port trade. Canadian exports have not come anywhere near taking up the slack left by the U.S. em- bargo on shipments to the Red- controlled island republic. first imposed in the fall of 1960 and since tightened up. In 1959, the last full year be- fore the break in economic rela- tions, the U.S. shipped to Cuba 438,592,000 worth of goods and imported from Cuba $474,663,- 000 worth. In 1960 these figures fell to $222,734,000 and $357,165,- 000 respectively. As late as last year, however, U.S.-Cuban trade was still ap- preciably higher than between Canada and Cuba. KENNEDY'S BAN American exports totalled about $14,000,000--less than half Canada's -- but American im- ports dwarfed those of Canada, running well over $30,000,000. Cuban sales to the U.S. this year -- mostly cigar tobacco-- were running at about the same clip as 1961 until President Ken- nedy on Feb. 7 banned all pur- chases from the island. This move is believed to have crippled Cuba's ability to buv from Canada since trade all along has been on a dollar basis, It is considered possible, however, that the Soviet Union will help fill the gap by provid- ing Cuba with more hard cur- rency in payment for sugar. If this should happen Cuban pur- chases from Canada might re. main fairly brisk. Trade officials here had al- ways expected--and so werned exporters --. that the relative boom in trade with Cuba would be shortlived TEMPORARY MEASURE It was seen as an outgrowth of Cuba's need to keep its econ- omy going in the transition pe- riod of reorientine its trade to- ward the Soviet bloc. Some observers estimate that this year 85 to 90 per cent of Cuba's foreign trade will be with the Communist countries, mainly barter. Long before February's U.S. ban on imports, trade officials QUEEN'S PARK Senior Citizens' Rental Housing By DON O'HEARN "TORONTO -- A_ worthwhile government project quietly get- ting off the ground is the pro- gram for senior citizens rental housing Provincial grants and low-in- terest federal mortgage loans are available for these projects, whch are usually organized by service clubs, co - operatives, trade unions and -smilar groups Before aid Is available there must be a careful local study of need. Probably because of this the program did not burst into wild bloom from the outset. Under the Twin Pines pro- gram of the United Co-opera- tive alone, apartment suite pro- jects have been completed or are underway in Orangeville, Trenton, Orillia, Dundalk and Brockville. These projects average about 10 suites each. This, of course, is anly one facet in the broad housing pro- gram in the province. Certainly now it must be one of the most progressive on the continent, RESEARCH PLAN GROWS -- Progress in another direction is represented by the big new industrial research "commun- ity" which is now in the final stages of planning. Initial government contribu- tion towards this project will be about $7,500,000 for enlarging the facilities of the Ontario Re- search Foundation. The foundation will establish a big new research center. Large industries will move their private research establishments into adjoining areas The result will be a research complex, where there can be much sharing of facilities and knowledge. HELP WAS SHORT This project represents quite a sharp change of policy on the part of the government. In recent years industrial re' search has not had too much encouragement here. Contributions to the ORF, in fact, were actually reduced. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 24, 1962 ;: Peter Minuit bought the island of Manhattan from the Indians 336 years ago today--in 1626 -- for goods valued at 60 guilders--about $24 of today's money. At the time a score of bark- covered huts, Fort Amster- dam, occupied by 200 Dutch colonists at the south end of the island was all there was to what now is the heart of New York City. 1881 The excursion steamboat Victoria sank on the Thames River near Lon- don, Ont., with loss of 181 lives 1941--The German battle ship Bismarck sank the British battle-cruiser Hood with loss of 1,418 lives HELPED MANY VANCOUVER (CP) For years a slogan known to work- men throughout British Colum- bia was: "In case of accident call Frank Green." Now Mr. Green has retired after 18 years with the workmen's compensa- tion board: He organized a net work of private aircraft and the RCAF to bring injured men quickly to hospital. The change in administra- tions and the sharp emphasis on economic development. have altered the thinking however. One objection throughout the province may be that the cen- tre will be in Toronto . . . one more key asset crammed into the area. However it s felt that the community must not only be central but must be near uni- versity and other facilities and that Toronto is the only logical locaton. GALLUP POLL Voters May had noted a falling-off in some of the heaviest lines of Cuban purchases from Canada. In the first 10 months of 1961 Canada sold $600,000 worth of cattle to Cuba, an average of $60,000 a month. In November, sales sank to $13,000. Swine sales in the first 10 months reached $1,061,000. In November there were none. This could mean Cuba has completed its herd-building pro- gram. Sales of baby chicks and hatching eggs continued heavy, possibly a reflection of Cuba's policy of emphasizing consump- tion of high-protein foods such as eggs and chickens < SHIPPED WOODPULP More than $2,700.000 of Cana- dian exports to Cuba last year were in woodpulp, used in mak- ing paper, Other sales' included potatoes, tallow, chemicals and insecticides for agriculture, power-pole transformers, flour, steel sheet and strip, synthetie rubber, copper tubing, contain- ing board, veterinary medicines and biological products, and milk powder. Many officials here feel that American criticism of Canada's trade with Cuba has been un- fair, They maintain that, with the possible exception of the U.S. itself, no country has done more than Canada to restrict trade in strategic goods with Castro. Canada has had an embargo against shipment of arms and strategic materials since 1958. When the U.S. was still ship- ping military hardware to Ful- gencio Batista and maintaining a military mission in Cuba to train his troops, Canada had cut off sales to both sides in the civil war, Batista was over- thrown Jan 1, 1959. NO TRANSSHIPMENT The strategic list was tight- ened in 1960 when Canada ap- plied to Cuba the NATO list of goods to be withheld from ship- ment to any Communist coun- <sy. Canadian officials have been vigilant to see that this country is not used as a back door for clandestine shipments of goods from the U.S. to the Cubans. To obviate any possible U.S. complaint, authorities forbid shipment of any American- made goods to Cuba, even though the particular consign- ment may have originated in Canada. This even applied to a shipment of bibles. The Canadian embassy in Washington has been trying to explain the Canadian position to whomever will listen but this hasn't been altogether success- ful. Officials believe the U.S. government has come to accept the Canadian attitude but there are still criticisms made in public from time to time. Canada's position is that it has no grounds for breaking off commercial relations with Cuba and that Castro's government has gone out of its way to see that no pretext is given. Be Swayed By Unselfish Motives By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion A considerable weight of evi- dence indicates that Canadian voters do not always cast their vote for the party they con- sider best for themselves and their families. Latest piece of evidence comes from an analysis of a national sampling of opinion in which Institute interviewers across Canada asked: "If you had to make up your mind today, under which Federal party do you think you and your family would be bet- ter off?" In the course of the inter- view, the cross section of vot- ers was also asked what politi- cal party they would support if an election were being held today. Perhaps because some voters put the national interest or calibre of local candidate above personal interest, answers to the two questions do not always jibe. For example, of those Canadians who today would vote for the Conservative can- didate only 81 per cent feel the Conservative party is best for themselves or their family. Same is true of Liberal voters. Among those people who would you vote for the New Democratie Party or the Social Credit party, only 69 per cent feel these parties would be best for themselves or their families. Putting all parties together, for a national figure, here is how Canadians respond to the ques- tion "Under which Federal Party do you think you and your family would be better off?" Better off under: Pet. Liberals 37 Conservatives 30 NDP 7 Other Parties 5 Undecided or No difference 21 100 That this "best-for-self" ques- tion is not a reliable guide to election outcome has been shown in other election years. For example, in the famous 1957 election, when Conserva- tives gained a slim plurality of seats with a smaller share of the popular vote than the Lib- erals, some 51 per cent of Cana- dian voters were picking the Liberal Party as best for them- selves, against only 28 per cent who picked the Conservative Party.
