She Oshawa Zines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Trade Wars Too Costly For The Free Nations The Common Market increased tariffs on some classes of American goods this week, in retaliation for recent similar action by the United States. Thus President Kennedy's highly-touted program for U.S. co- operation with the Common Market is in tatters today, and he will find it more difficult to repair than it was to arrange in the first place. The Europeans are now justifiably suspi- cious of U.S. protestations about the need to lower trade barriers in the free world. Mr. Kennedy will undoubtedly do his best to repair the damage that has been done. He is convinced that the economic strength of the free world requires the lowering of trade barriers -- and the free world must be economically strong to meet the challenge of the Communist empire. This is something like being convinced that white is white and black is black, but the U.S. president has to deal with many myopic congressmen, in- dustrialists and labor leaders. If Mr. Kennedy -- and his suc cessor -- do not succeed in the clear- ing away of obstacles to free world trade, there could be a development of rival trade blocs within the free world. This would be disastrous. This is the truth that Americans, Euro- peans, Canadians and other trading nations must face. We cannot afford trade wars within the "free family" for a number of reasons, not the'least of which is the knowledge of the Com- munists that their only chance of overcoming the free world lies in such family feuding. Doctors Face Threat The latest development in the struggle between the Saskatchewan government and the province's doc- tors over the government's medical care plan is the threat by the At- torney-General, A. R. Walker, of court action against the doctors. Mr. Walker says doctors face prosecution under the Criminal Code on charges of criminal conspiracy if they break 'an implied contract" with patients. The "implied contract", apparently, would be an unwritten agreement by the doctor not to abandon a_ patient before the services of another physi- cian can be obtained. The legal ruling on the Attorney- General's point of view can only be given by the proper legal authorities --in the courts. It could be a far- reaching decision, because it could be used to cover many other self-em- ployed persons beside doctors -- lawyers and plumbers, for example. Could lawyers and plumbers, among others, be considered to have "implied contracts" with clients and custom- ers? What.Mr. Walker is trying to do, of course, is keep doctors from moving out of the province, as they have threatened are doing. We have little sympathy with the hysterical show that the Saskatchewan Medical Association has put on, but at the same time we think Mr. Walker's threat is danger- ous. Its effect would be to deny an individual the right to choose his place of work, and that would be forced labor. -- and as many of them Sad Story uf Folly Each Monday morning the news- papers carry a meloncholy "round-up." It is the report of the drownings and traffic fatalities during the weekend. It is a sad story, but it is also a story of folly, because most of the deaths need not have occurred. It is a story of fishermen standing up to cast or change places in small boats, of the overloading and over-powering of boats, of small children being allowed to play unattended beside swift water, of showoff or panicky swimmers, and of would-be rescuers who do not know what to do, The Canadian Red Cross Society and the St. John Ambulance both carry on water safety programs, with the latter concentrating on resuscita- tion and the former conducting a broad campaign that ranges from swimming instruction to artificial respiration. Various other organiza- tions assist in the water safety programs. But despite all these efforts, the toll mounts through the warm months. By the end of the sum- mer, nearly a thousand Canadians will have lost their lives by drowning. We urge our readers to take the simple steps that will ensure that they do not contribute to the Monday morning round-ups. If you know what water safety means, follow the rules; if not, get the Red Cross Water Safety Manual. Death Of A Hero The mid-century historian is a clinical sort of fellow who is skilled in the art of debunking. He is suspi- cious of heroic reputations and dis- sects them until he can prove that their possessors were only fumbling human beings after all. The latest reputation to undergo the debunking process is that of Adam Dollard des Ormeaux who, the school books say, saved Montreal from at- tack by a strong party of invading Iroquois. Greatly outnumbered, he fought the Indians for eight days at the Long Sault rapids on the Ottawa River, until he and his small force were destroyed and the Iroquois war party withdrew to lick its wounds.

According to Prof. Adair, Dollard des Ormeaux was not thinking of saving Montreal but of ambushing the Indians and high- jacking their furs; he was defeated because he was a poor leader. Maybe so, but does it really matter? Human beings are seldom consciously heroic; they react to the circumstan- ces of the moment, and it is then that their bravery or cowardice is revealed. Many an untenable position has been held by men who were scared to do anything but stay and fight; they were, in brief, human and also, in the perverse human way, heroic.

Her husband is a millionaire oil magnate, and of course she has. big ideas of what her allowances should amount to. This is her idea of what she should get: For new clothes, 2,500 a month: $1,000 a month for entertainment: $500 a month for travel; $500 a month for club memberships; $300 a month for food, and $50 for food for her dog. She also seeks alimony Che allowance for the dog seems an injustice. $1,000 a month. HAS ANYBODY GEN ANY THOUGHT To THe RE-ENTRY PROBLEM 2 OUR MAN IN SPACE UNEMPLOYMENT No Easy Solution Seen To Persistent Problem By FARMER TISSINGTON Parliamentary Correspondent For The Oshawa Times (Second of three articles) OTTAWA (Special) -- Despite the best efforts of governments and the promises of political parties, there is considerable evidence that a fairly high rate of unemployment is likely to be a factor of Canadian economic life for some fime to come One of the more recent velopments contributing tg this condition is automation." Not long ago an Ontario government official predicted that, in the next decade, some four out of five industrial workers would lose their jobs because of auto mation. While many others don't agree with this frightening pros pect, there is no doubt that mod- ern production methods will con- tinue to put men out of work. In the past 10 years, Cana- dian motor car production has gone up almost 50 per cent while employment in that industry has risen only 11 per cent. In motor car parts, production has risen about 20 per cent and employ- ment about 6.8 per cent. Some 80 per cent more electrical ap- paratus is now produced with a 40 per cent increase in workers employed. Household appliances tell] the. same story -- produc tion up over 50 per cent and employment up about 20 per cent COMPARE WITH OTHERS How does Canada compare with other countries in unem- ployment? The answer is not easy to determine because of the different yardsticks used to measure it. Walter Pitman, NDP member of the last parlia- ment, says that Australia has shown great concern about its unemployment, although its fig- ures indicate only 2.3 per cent of its labor force is out of work Labor Minister Michael Starr declares that only Canada, the United States and Japan can properly be compared, as all three use the same measuring methods. But there is no agreement be- tween parties about Canada's closest neighbor. The Conserva- tives say the U.S.A. has been following Canada's lead in sev- eral ways to combat unemploy- ment. They also argue that the U.S. takes a more realistic view of the problem and doesn't try to make it such a political issue, as is the case here. Liberal Paul Martin argues that President Kennedy has been much more de- aggressive in tackling the U.S unemployment problem than has the Conservative government in trying to meet Canada's difficul- ties Prime Minister Diefenbaker points out that Canada's aver- age unemployment is generally lower, in percentage terms, than in the United States. And, he says, this is achieved despite the fact that many more men are called into the armed services in 'the. US than in Canada QUEEN'S PARK Defence becomes involved in the Canadian picture, too. Ac- cording to the opposition parties, the government's much heralded survival courses, held by the militia units across Canada this past winter, were largely de- signed to help make a better unemployment showing. They had little real relationship to training people for survival in a nuclear war,-is the claim. Statistics about which country has the best record are cold comfort to the Canadian who wants to work but can't find a job he can perform. And oppo- sition parties are doing their best to make this one of the major campaign issues. In reply the Conservatives brand the Lib- erals as "the prophets of doom and gloom" (to be continued) Ontario Demerit Plan Rationalized By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Changes in the point demerit system weren't brought in exactly with a con- fident smile and a light heart Minister of Transport Leslie Rowntree and his officials were just a bit timid about announc- ing the changes Since its start in 1959 the de merit system has had consider able criticism -- some that if isn't tough enough, some that it is too tough. And they are an ticipating more of the same with the changes They particularly were afraid that press and public might take the idea they were soften- ing up the system TWO-WAY REVISION Mr. Rowntree changes represent a izing." And there is no reason he should be afraid. of the changes, or of this description for that is essentially what has been done In some ways the system may have been "'softened,"' But in others it definitely has been toughened It is a two-way revision. And it seems to achieve two general aims. One to see drastically hurt The second to see that driv- ing is made even more safe. LOSE JOBS One of the key duces the from three month. says the "rational that nobody is changes re- suspension period months to one This will probably be criti- cized by those who believe in the big stick But the main reason it has been made is that a large num- ber of drivers were losing their jobs when suspended for three months Most employers will go along with a one month lay-off. But if it is three they replace the man There still is the fact of a suspension, it should be remem- bered. And also it. should be kept in mind that a lot of auto- matic losers have been hit by an accumulation of points for a number of minor offences, rather than anything very seri- ous. Certainly anything that inter- feres seriously with their live- lihood is too severe. NOW COMPLETE On the other hand there now is a "'second offender' provi- sion -- those getting their li- eences back will start off with seven points, instead of a clean sheet as of now. This definitely up the system. So also are the nine new penalty offences that have been introduced--such as three points for making prohibited "U" turns. In fact the system now would seem to have been tightened to the point where it is complete-- where there is not an import- ant driving offence which won't is toughening result in point loss Spacious | bedrooms, OUTSTANDING VALUE IN PRESTIGE LOCATION Ya storey, custom built home loc schools and hospital, Ideal for business or professional mon requiring 3 separate dining room and sun porch, Mony extras included such as Carrier (whole home) Air Conditioner, blo onde Italian marble fireplace, washer-dryer, Contact...

This was the advance guard of what is confidently ex- pected to be a record influx of free-spending visitors this year, prompted by Canadian attrac- tions made less costly by the ve exchange rate on our dol- ar. Reports from many border points indicate that they played host to even larger numbers of U.S. visitors than did. Ottawa, as was to be expected on a one- day mid-week holiday. Here they delightedly snapped the still magnificent tulips of our annual floral festival; they toured the Parliament Building, they visited the art gallery and the museum and the archives; and of course they shopped, buying those perennial favor. rites, chinaware and woollens, and the occasional exotically striped Hudson Bay blanket coat. reau, "and this Is going te bring us a terrific season of . tourism." The province of Quebec greatly helped towards making Ottawa's tulip festival the gar ever this year, through "absolutely terrific' flow of organized. tours, especially of school chiidren, according to of- ficials here. The usual summer spectacle of red-coated soldiers and their bands changing the guard each morning on the greensward of Parliament Hill will begin on June 30 and continue through- out the height of the tourist sea- son until after Labor Day. First reaction by tourist offi- cials to the new-look Canadian dollar is very favorable. Visi- tors from the U.S. appreciate the new exchange rate which stretches out their spending dol- lar--stretches it out almost as far as the $1.10 value which it enjoyed in Canada during and after the war "They are deeply apprecia- tive,' says Gerry Geldert, man- ager of Ottawa's Tourist Bu- BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Hon.

Harry Wallace A check of hotels, motels and stores here reveals that, while -; the good ones are paying the > limit, of $1 Canadian for 92 U.S. cents, a few smaller oper- ators are defeating the purpose by refusing to honor the ex- change value of the U.S. dollar. A small minority are doing a lot of harm to our goodwill here, says Mr. Geldert. BENEFIT TO WORKERS The free-spending U.S. tourist normally does not benefit. only our hotels, motels and rest- aurants. By spending money in our stores, he and she also helps to provide jobs in our factories -- whether they make clothing and household goods with large price tags, or the smaller "conversation pieces" which tourists all over the world will snap up. Favorites among these are sourvenirs of Canada, and there are many stores in Ottawa sell- ing a wide range. In one I saw a large display of china ash- trays with a Mountie's head and shoulders on it, and minia- ture birch-bark Indian canoes. On each the price tag was pasted to hide the tell - tale words "Made in Japan." Every tourist season we hear protests of just Canadian indig- nation that imported 'souvenirs of Canada" can outsell and un- dersell true Canadian products. The Japanese Mountie has lost his sloe-eyes now, but retains his throne more solidly than ever.
