She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 1962--PAGE 6 Canada's Population Growth Too Sluggish The Bureau of Statistics estimated that as of April 1 of this year, the population of Canada was 18,508,000 -- at first glance an impressive gain over the official census count of 18,- 238,247 that was made last year in June. But a gain of 270,000 people in ten months really amounts to only a .1.5 per cent increase, or an annual growth rate of 1.8 per cent. This represents the lowest annual percentage increase in Canada's popu- lation in any year since 1946. In all of the earlier postwar years the popu- lation's growth rate was never below two per cent and went as high as 8.2 per cent. Natural increase, immigration and emigration are the three factors that influence population growth. In 1961 immigration dropped to its lowest level since 1950--and this year we will probably take in even fewer than the 71,689 newcomers admitted last year. The birth rate has dropped slightly Li e e iving With The improvement in mankind's physical standard of living is closely felated to the improvement in the machines and tools he uses. That is a statement of the obvious, but ap- parently it is a point that has to be argued. For example, there is this state- ment from a Toronto paper: "Automa- tion an ingenious and complex development set in motion by em- ployers to replace people. It has no other reason for existence. Clerical procedures, manufacturing opera- tions, and even agricultural processes are coming steadily under automa- tion; and each time a new installa- tion or automated machinery is con- sidered, the first consideration is: How much will this reduce the pay- roll? We are now producing, or cap- able of producing more and more goods and services with fewer and fewer workers. There has been, in' a multitude of occupations a trend to is and family formation is lower, reflect- ing the low birth rate of the thirties. But particularly significant is the point that over the past five years there have been an increase in the outflow and. a decrease in the inflow of professionally trained persons and skilled workers. What this means is that we are in a virtually static growth situation, or one that may even be deteriorating if the profit-and-loss statement on skills is considered. Canada cannot long endure such a situation without serious effects on the economy. The governments of the next few years face a massive task of increasing the growth rates of the population as well as the economy -- indeed, the rates are so closely linked as to be inseparable. Immigration must still be selective, but immigration policy can be more vigorous; and at least as im- portant, ways must be found to keep the professionally trained and highly skilled people in Canada. Machines more production with fewer and fewer manhours of labor." Of course there has been a trend to produce more -- and better -- goods and services with less labor content. It has been going on since the Industrial Revolution. If it hadn't, Canadians would not enjoy their present standard of living. For. ins- tance, if telephone exchanges were not automated and were still a manual operation, it would take more than all the women now in the labor force to run the telephone systems. As far as payrolls are concerned, a specific one for a specific job may go down with the introduction of better machines and tools, but total payrolls go up and the money buys more goods and services. How many could buy cars, houses, television sets, refrigerators and so on if they were largely hand-made? Automation is something we have to live with, or we won't live as well. A Dozen Ways To Die The incredible carelessness of many hunters is revealed once again in figures produced by the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. A "hunter safety" survey by the De- partment shows that 368 hunters killed or injured themselves and each other in more than a dozen different ways during the past three years. There were 15 killed and 73 injured in 1959; 36 killed: and 118 injured in 1960; and 22 killed, 104 injured last year --- when the Department's hunter education program may have begun to take effect. Of the 73 lives lost, 17 belonged to persons who were mistaken for game; it is interested to find that while one hunter may be mistaken for a duck, another may be a double for a deer. Fourteen deaths occurred when the hunter stumbled and fell. Three persons out of sight of the shooter were killed. Seven persons moved into the line of fire. Seven died as the result of horseplay -- didn't. know it was loaded, and so on, one died. in each of the three years while remov- ing a loaded weapon from or placing it in a vehicle, or riding in a vehicle with a loaded firearm -- offences under the regulations. Three died while loading or unloading guns. Five She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

Other Editors' Views CAMPAIGNS TOO LONG (The Daily Mercury, Guelph) We doubt whether many of our po- liticians, whether they were success- ful on election day, or not, have as yet fully recovered from the arduous two month campaign which preceded the casting of the ballots. The leaders of all the parties are forced to use hearly all means of locomotion as they travel from riding to riding across the Dominion and it certainly must become very tiring. There is little doubt that the cam- paign period, which lasts about two months for a federal election, is a trying affair on all party leaders, candidates, and supporters. It also be- comes very boring for the average voter. When he picks up his daily newspaper. he is confronted with columns of political stories. He turns on his radio, and hears talks on poli- tical questions, and when he turns on his TV, his favorite programs are interspersed with political announce- ments.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Machines that can lift and transplant mature trees, as tall as 40 feet, with- out harming them, are now at work in Britain. New housing estates need no longer wait until young saplings have, after _ the passage of many years, grown to the status of shade trees. With the use of these machines, the new towns and their council estates are being provided with fully-grown trees of mature age. The Civic Trust has acquired two of these machines, and it plans to transplant at Jeast a thousand trees in London this year. DEMONSTRATION GIVEN Brighton town council also has one of these machines, and it was used in a striking demonstration of what they can accomplish. The demonstration began at Brighton Council's nurseries at Stanmer Park, Two trees were "'lifted", One was: a tall silver birch and the other. a Japanese flowering cherry in full bloom. They then left by road to be transported to Chelsea, where they were re- planted in "The Garden of To- day 1962." The trees were first prepared for removal by the digging of DON CAOUETTE AND SANCHO PANZA YOUR HEALTH Meat, Vegetable Mix, Fare For By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner:* What in general is the medical profes- sion's attitude with respect to vegetarianism? Thank you. D.G My friend, you ought to say thank you after booby-trapping me with such a question, I don't speak for the whole medi- cal profession. I just speak for myself, although in genera! I pretty well go along with the basic beliefs of the profession to which I belong. So here's my opinion. Nature, by whatever inscrut- able processes, has evolved a system whereby many kinds of creatures inhabit the earth, each according to their own rules, preferences, needs. Fish swim in the water: an- imals and men breathe. Birds (small ones, anyway) live nicely on insects, worms and crumbs. Hawks and eagles and owls thrive on catching small animals. Cows live on vegetable provender, but convert grass into beef. (And milk--and man- kind turns milk into cheese /fand butter.) Rabbits like lettuce and other greens ; foxes catch and eat rabbits but don't like greens. And so on. I suppose a rabbit would starve to death on a diet of filet mignon, and a_ wolf would wither on a diet of un- limited salads. Some other creatures thrive on a mixture. Dogs wil eat some vegetables, and so. will bears eat a mixture of things. And people will. And pigs, if you don't mind my mentioning it. But chickens like grain. Anyway, prehistoric man evi- dently was better at hunting and drawng pictures' than he was at writing, so we are some- what .in the dark concerning him, but we think he was origi- nally a meat-eater who, at great length, at last learned to plant and harvest crops. This is agriculture. The American Indian was-a great hunter, but ate berries, raised a little corn, and would have been utterly baffled by an artichoke. Man is critter His best diet is a mixture of meat and vegetable foods. a highly adaptable Man I can't find a particle of evi dence that "vegetarianism'"' is better for people--but if some folks think so, far be it from me to spoil their fun. It won't hurt them, either. Meat-eating ethnic groups are usually more aggressive and rugged. The vegetarian races are less so. The latter may be more peaceable, too, and in that respect, maybe they're right. I don't know. : From the standpoint of sheer nutrition, vegetarians have to eat more in volume. They also have to consume lots of the "medium - protein' foods such as milk, nuts, beans, bread, to make up for the missing high- protein fish-meat dishes A 'pure vegetarian' would have a hard time getting along without milk, butter, cheese, which are "animal food prod- ucts." In short, the theory of vege- tarianism is nothing more than a hobby or quirk, but I don't see any harm in it. Personally, I like' a good steak--and a salad. And I don't want to eat twice the volume of food to get the calories I need. Other than that, I .have no quarrel with vegetarians. .-Dear Dr. Milner: I have read that cabbage juice is recom- mended for ulcers. How is it taken and what does it do?-- MRS. C. D. This idea was proposed sev- eral years ago. A research pro- ject gave some indication. that extract of cabbage juice might help heal ulcers: There hasn't been any confirmation of this, so far as I can learn--and in any event, many tons of cab- bage are required to produce a little of the extract. So forget it for now; just. stick to the known methods of treating ulcers and don't waste time hoping for some wondrous "cure"' that will work overnight.

The offer was accepted. Thousands of Orangemen from Central and Eastern Ontario as- sembled in Whitby for the an- nual July 12 celebration. Six of the eight major awards in the Orange parade at Whitby were won by Oshawa lodges. Harry J. Carmichael, general manager of General Motors of Canada, celebrated the 25th an- niversary of his association with the automobile industry. A new cash relief policy with recipients required to earn it .by working for the city, was put in- fo effect by the Oshawa Welfare Board Iva Cliffe, Oshawa, was chos- ° en Grand Chief of the Grand Temple of Pythian Sisters dur- ing their annual convention at Brantford. Miss Dorothy Van Luven of Oshawa, served as an instruct ress at a Girls' Leaders' Camp at Vail's Point, near Owen Sound. Over 10,500 homes were visited by the Oshawa Public Health nurses during the departmental year. A total of 2049 cases of communicable diseases were re- ported for the year, at the an- nual meeting of the local Board of Health. Fifty underprivileged boys went to Kiwanis Camp at Kedron for two weeks. Domestic electricity consum. ers of Whitby were given a re- duction in rates. Over $3500 worth of dental work was done by the Oshawa dentists during a two - year period for the children of needy parents. With the city dentists cooperating in the public plan, it cost the Board of Health only $1700. The first Auto-Railer to enter the field of transportation in Canada was exhibited in Osh. awa by the CNR while on a test run from Montreal to To- ronto, It was derailed at the station and travelled up Simcoe street, stopping at King and Simcoe streets intersection be- fore going back to the station enroute to Toronto.

There is no manhandling of the trees, and this cut down the risk of damage that might have occurred. Stanley J. Humphries, tech- nical adviser to Brighton's superintendent of parks and gardens, said that the machine was invented by Christopher J. Newman of Hertfordshire. "We are the first local au- thority to obtain one of these machines," he said. "We are now able to transplant a ma- ture tree 25 years old and up to a height of 40 feet without damaging it. We are trans- planting sycamore, elm, ash, Norway maple, silver birch and flowering cherry. SO suc- cessful has the experiment been that we have already planted trees in the corpora- tion's nursery for future use." A spokesman for the Civie Trust said that many mature trees have already been plant- ed on housing estates in East London, It is planned to use the machines for further plant- ing in London and elsewhere. The trees transplanted to London have been dug from woodlands, in some cases in Na- tional Trust areas, or by pfi- vate arrangement with the landowners, GALLUP POLL Different Age Groups Reveal Party Support THE.

The Government of Canada undertakes to use its best efforts to purchase during each quarter of each calendar year to maturity, commencing October 1, 1962, when available in the open market at prices not exceeding the original issue price; plus accrued interest, at least } of 1% of the principal amount of the 54% bonds maturing August 1, 1980. The Government of Canada may, however, in any quarter of any year apply to this undertaking the purchase of those bonds made during the immediately preceding twelve months and not previously credited. By maturity the maximum amount which would be required to be purchased by the Government of Canada under these provisions would be thirty-six per cent of the original issue. Bank of Canada has already agreed to acquire a minimum of $50,000,000 of the above loan, open as to maturity. The proceeds of this loan, together with the proceeds from the sale of $85,000,000 of 366 day Treasury Bills (to be dated August 1, 1962, to mature August 2, 1963 and to be offered at competitive tender on July 30, 1962) will be used to redeem the $285,000,000 of 3% Government of Canada Bonds maturing August 1, 1962. The new Bonds will be dated August 1, 1962 and will bear interest from that date. Principal and interest are payable in lawful money of Canada. Principal is payable at any Agency of Bank of Canada. Interest is payable at any branch in Canada of any chartered bank without charge. Bonds may be registered as to principal or as to principal and interest. Definitive bonds will be available on or about August 1, 1962 and thereafter in two forms: bearer form with coupons attached (this form may be registered as to principal) and fully registered form with interest payable by cheque. Bonds of both forms will be in the same denominations and fully interchangeable as to denomination and/or form without charge (subject to Government transfer requirements where applicable). The new Bonds are authorized under authority of an Act of the Parliament of Canada and both principal and interest are a charge on the Consolidated Revenue Fund of Canada: Subscriptions for the new Bonds, subject to allotment, may be made to Bank of Canada, Ottawa, through any investment dealer eligible to act as a primary distributor or through any bank in Canada.
