| She Oshawa Cimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Those Who Pay The Bill Have Right To Question Federal civil servants are, naturally, unhappy about the wage freeze im- posed by the federal government as part of its economy program. The 70,000-member Civil Service Federa- tion of Canada, which represents about one-third of federal govern- ment employees, has proposed the establishment of a negotiating body that would have "full authority to conclude agreements with recognized associations of federal employees." Salary demands would be subject to negotiation, conciliation and arbitra- tion procedures, as the normal course in private business, but then the government would have to accept the negotiating agency's recommenda- tions. Before any such agency is set up, however, there should be a thorough investigation of the Civil Service it- self -- its work load, its efficiency, its job and wage schedules. There is no doubt that many civil servants are grossly underpaid for the work they do; but there is also reason to believe that some others are being grossly overpaid for work they don't do. There is more than a suspicion that the Civil Service is over-staffed and that streamlining of staffs in some departments would enable the gov- ernment to raise the wages of the necessary and efficient workers with- out adding a substantial burden of cost, : The budget estimate of the total federal payroll for the current year was $870 million, or nearly one half of all the money that Canadians will pay Ottawa in the form of personal income taxes. A decade ago the figure was $340. million, The taxpayers are in a very real sense the employers of the Civil Service, and they should be shown that they are getting value for their money. If they are getting full value, then they cannot expect their employees to work without proper payment for the. services rendered. But if they are not getting value, then they have every right to demand that something be done about it -- before they agree to spend any more. Cautious Canadians Canadians like to picture them- selves as a young. ~drile and daring people, stili pioneering in a young, virile and partly developed land. Facts, on the other hand, indicate that Canadians are a cautious people, not given to risk-taking, seeks after security rather than adventure, and fond of compromise. Our political history, nationally, demonstrates our love of caution and compromise -- although provincially we can be pretty daring at times. The business life of the country gives the same sort of picture -- a few individuals ready to take enor- mous risks, but most people prefer- ring security to a gamble. Canadians on a per capita basis are the world's biggest buyers of life insurance. But Canada is well down the list of countries in which individuals can buy shares in stock-issuing com- panies. As a percentage of the whole popu- lation, shareholders in Canada are fewer than three in every 100 persons -- 28 per cent of the population, or a total of about 500,000 individuals. That is a long way back of the leader, the United States, where 15 million people, or 8.2 per cent of the popula- tion, are investors in common stocks. Other countries that lead Canada, with proportions of their total population owning shares of stock: the United Kingdom, 5.9 per cent; Finland, 5.8 per cent; Belgium, 5.4 per cent; Japan, 4.3 per cent; France, 4.3 per cent, Italy, 3.9 per cent; West Germany, 3.6 per cent. It could be argued that life~in- surarice is a form of personal savings and a proportion of that money. is invested in common stocks. Pension funds, which now represent a large part of the earnings of industrial workers, are in the same category. it could also be argued that taxes take such a big chunk of personal income that many people who would like to invest, can't. But on the evidence, we are penny-ante investors. Too High For Too Long There are no easy solutions to Can- ada's fiscal problems, although it is fairly easy to understand why we have such problems. In effect -- as explained in the following excerpts from an excellent article in the month- ly Commercial Letter issued by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Com- merce individuals and govern- ments have been living too high for too long on borrowed money. "After nine consecutive years of deficits in our international balance of payments, aggregating $9,235 mil- lion, and after five consecutive years of federal budgetary deficits, amount- ing to nearly $2,200 million, explains the article, "foreign investors are re- appraising Canada as a place for in- vestment." "It is one thing to employ foreign capital to provide capital goods which should earn their keep by future pro- duction; it is quite another to obtain foreign capital to enable the country to use up consumer goods when this capital has to be paid for from some other source at some future time...

In 1951 these governments took 23.5 percent; last year, 32.3 per cent. A consequence has been constant upward pressure on costs of produc- tion which has more than offset in- creased efficiency in business ad- ministration and has placed manu- facturers and other producers at an increasing disadvantage in competi- tion with foreign production in both domestic and foreign markets... "It is obvious that with few ex- ceptions the world no longer needs to rely on Canada as a source of materials, but Canada still needs world markets. The world does not need Canada as a place in which to invest, but Canada will continue to need foreign capital to put to cons- tructive use and we must be in a position to meet the cost of servicing this capital from our current foreign exchange earnings ... The world will not provide capital to any nation which dissipates its substance in ex- cessive consumption rather than adequate production."

We are under constant condemnation under it. But there is the love of God. Confucius Say "Man With Ite Start From Scratch" AS Ale = = = 'OTTAWA REPORT Me] Gallant Old Plane Recalls Memories By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--A big crowd of top brass from government and civilian as well as military cir- cles thronged our. sun-bathed capital city airport recently to welcome the year's most his- toric trans-Canada traveller. This was a veteran of 25 years service to Canadians, on show as it journeyed from Halifax to Vancouver with stops at 13 _in- termediate cities. Officially known as CF-TCC, it was a tiny Lockheed 10A aircraft, one of the original machines with which our publicly owned Trans-Canada Air Lines initi- ated its passenger service a quarter-century ago. That inaugural route was the 122 - mile hop between Van- couver and Seattle. It was opened on Sept. 1, 1937, with twice-daily flights each carry- ing 10 passengers. CF-TCC will repeat that flight on Sept. 1, this year to celebrate the 25th birthday of TCA. OUR LAST VOYAGEURS The brotherhood of the air is a close-knit circle of dedicated and courageous pioneers--some YOUR HEALTH say the last of the individualis- tic explorers of Canada. And when TCA carried its first pas- sengers on that September morn in 1937, flying was still an uncertain adventure. Thus it was with affection and proud nostalgia that old - time bush pilots, Battle of Britain pilots, modern jet-jockeys and their sisters-in-service in stewardess garb, shook hands. signed golden books and _ swapped white lies around the gleaming CF-TCC when it touched down here. The world, Canada and TCA have all gone a long way since 1937; but perhaps in air travel as exemplified by TCA we have made the greatest strides. When the $100,000 CF-TCC first took to air at a cautious 185 miles an hour, it carried 10 passengers, strapped into hideously uncom- fortable seats, and wearing ox- ygen masks to cross the Rock- ies. But today's airliner is four times longer, 30 times heavier, carries 13 times as many pas- sengers at three times the speed --hut costs 60 tims as much as that 1937 baby airliner. Intestinal Bulge Common Ailment By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: I was told after a barium-enema x-ray that I have diverticulosis. What medication and diet does this condition require? Is it cur- able?--D. A. M, You, sir> are one of many-- and as time goes. on diverticu- losis will become familiar to more and more people. The longer we live, the more chance of having it, and the more chance of finding it. But don't jump to the conclur sion that something awful is happening. Diverticulosis is simply a pouch or bulge that occurs somewhere in the intes- tinal trace--not unlike the way an automobile tire, years ago, used to develop a bulgy place. We called it a 'stone bruise." Tires are much better now, but there has been no basic change in human physiology. We are still subject to acquiring these little pouches. Some ex- perts say at least one person in four has diverticulosis. As a_ general rule, these pouches don't do any mischief and don't require medication or special. diet. They are there, and there is no "cure" short of surgery to repair the place in question. But it is pretty rare that sur- very is needed. Just let the pouch stay. there. Don't bother it unless it bothers you How can it bother you? Well, it may. become: irritated and painful. It may even bleed. In such cases, . naturally, treat- mem is necessary The avoidance of seedy fruits, nuts, and foods 'with an undue amount of rough fibers may at times be the first step in stop- ping the irritation. Regular bowel action also: is desirable, and if necessary a patient may need one of the common bulk- producers to encourage regular- ity If the pouch hecomes_ in- flamed, meaning that some in- fection is starting, then anpro- priate medication is needed. Only in the most severe cases is surgery suggested, because most of them calm down with conservative measures. I'll repeat: In the vast major- ity of.cases, a person never knows he has diverticulosis: and most are found through x-rays taken for some other purpose, So don't let it alarm you if your doctor, in going over the x . rays, comments that "you have a diverticulum," or 'you have diverticulosis." It doesn't deserve more than a casual comment unless, one of them becomes irritated. Then is time enough to do any- thing about it. Dear Dr. Molner: Our 14- year-old son underwent emer- gency surgery for what turned out to be a gangrenous Meckel's diverticulum. He had a long his: tory of bowel trouble before that, but x-rays did not reveal his problem. Is there a differ- ence between Meckel's divertic- ulum and the diverticulitis you have written about?--MRS.: R. 8. Yes, an immense difference Diverticulitis is inflammation. of an outpouched place in the co- lon, usually not until a person is past 40. Meckel's diverticulum is the remnant of a temporary struc- ture that existed before the child was born. It occurs at the lower end ofthe small bowel, and if inflamed, very much mimics appendicitis. It does not always show in x-rays but can, indeed, cause a long history of bowel trouble before being iden- tified. It is not common. Dear Dr. Molner: What causes fluid in the lung? How can it be treated?--M. R. There are two types of fluid. Une is actually outside the lung and called an effusion--a res- ult any of many types of irrita- tion of the pleura or lung lining, from tuberculosis to tumors to pneumonia, The other type is fluid ac tually in. the lung tissues, end is called congestion. It is usu- ally' a consequence of heart trouble, and treatment of the underlying disease is necessary. Shirt Able To Looking at baby CF-TCC, newly-painted a gleaming white and proudly flaunting the TCA crest, one could not fail to ad- mire the workmanship which could create such a tough baby. It was purchased new by TCA in 1937, and flew 280,000 miles in 1,750 hours before being sold to the federal department of Transport in May 1939. Through the next six years it carried many VIPs on top-secret and most important trips between Ottawa and Washington and other key centres. Between whiles and after the war, it was used for range calibration work to assist the development of our cross-Canada aids to navigation. Under the department of trans- port flag, it covered some 800,- 000 miles in 5,250 hours. Seven years ago it was sold to Matane Air Services Limited, in Que- bec, where it is still giving tip- top service with a flight record in its life to date equivalent to three trips to the moon and back in 10,000 flying hours. But of course, during that life normal. wear and preventive maintenance replacements have eliminated every original com- ponent; perhaps. not a single rivet of the original aircraft re- mains. OLD-TIMERS AFFECTION Nevertheless the pilots who flew it, and the stewardesses who flew in it, in those long-ago flights still love that replica of spare parts and replacements. And among those who studied CF-TCC with interest and affec- tion was one of Canada's first pilots, described ag the man who has taught the greatest number of Canadian student- pilots -- Lloyd Rochester. This veteran flyer and member of an old Ottawa family served as in- structor at the Central Flying School at Upavon, England, during the First World War. Many Canadians learned to fly there; several other Canadians were also instructors; but Mr. Rochester was the sole repre- sentative of these at the recent 50th birthday celebrations of the CFS. Standing beside CF-TCC at Ottawa's airport, pilot and machine served to show us how long flying has served Cana- dians, occasionally, -- REPORT FROM U.K. Return To Sch ool For Another Year By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -~ The principals-- or headmasters, as they are called in this country of many of the schools in Kent are due for-a sheck wher they see the stream of pupils com- ing to them after the lone suin- mer vacation. In addition to the newcomers toe the second- ary schools, tney wili be con- fronted with a stream of iob- less 15-year-olds who left school in July. They will be coming back in hundreds for another year of education. The reasons 'or this return to school of pupils who are QUEEN'S PARK over the age limit for compul- sory education :3 expiained by officers in the employment offices around the country. This year, they say, there was an exceptionally large number of school-leavers. It was a rea! bulge year. And there were not nearly enough jobs availab'e to enable ai! of them to go to work. Because of this situation, par- ents are asking that their chil- dren be allowed to return {to school for another year. MUST ACCEPT PUPILS A spokesman for the Kent Education Commitice made the statement that he had no idea how many would return to Regional Planning Preparations Made TORONTO -- Unless you're a planning bug you probably didn't notice this. Yet it was one of the most significant stories of the year out of here. Lorne R. Cumming, deputy minister of municipal affairs; is to concentrate on planning in future And along with this an exten. sive. organization, including re- gional planning officers, is to be set up within the department. Which is a victory for. those who are planning bugs -- and there are thousands of them to- day. ABOUT FACE The story was significant be- cause 'it undoubtedly was the first step towards regional plan- ister, Hon. Fred Cass, admits it was). And regional planning could be big stuff indeed in the years to come, It could mean that the fruit. lands in Niagara will be pre- served after all. That there will really be green 'belts around cities. Even that there will be genuine decentralization of in- dustry. And it was significant be- cause it represented pretty well an about face of the old attitude of the government towards large-area planning. All there had been was some slight lip-service to the ideal. No action--not even lukewarm. MANY OBJECT You have to give the govern. ment -- and particularly Mr. Cass --marks for courage for taking this step along with the promise of following it through. There are still a great. many people in the province opposed to planning, particularly re- gional, or large-area, planning, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Aug. 29, 1962. ..

Rowan, C.A, Secretary, Box 105, Parliament Buildings, Practically anyone with a piece of land bigger than a post- age stamp can find some ob- jection to it--though many also can find points in its favor. To get a program through eventually--and nobody thinks this is going to be done over- night--will require some force. _ Those who can take an ob. jective view, however, know that it is an essential for quality growth in the province. And the government also gets marks for taking an objective, rather than a narrow political, approach. METRO'S FIRST Mr. Cumming's first work won't be in the large-area field. He will be devoting his time to a more urgent need; organi- zation and planning of metro- politan areas. He already has been working with the problem in Hamilton and Ottawa. : This most able public servant who has the profound respect of all responsible municipal offi- cials should do a wonderful service in straightening out the organizational problems of the very many industrial areas in the province which have grown out of their britches in recent years. school after the holidays, but a very large number is expected He added: "Prospects for employment in Kent are not nearly as good as they were a yeur uso. The number of avatak'e johs has not risen to keep pace with the increased number of school leavers." "We must accept pupils for voluntary educa'ion up to the age of 19. As a matter of fact, the Kent Educaiion Coramittee encourages pupils atending secondary school 'o stay in them until they reach the age of 16. Some of these ceturnirg boys, however, will probab'y be able to go to our ierhnical schools and ail of them will be welcomed tivre." HAD BEEN FEARED This is 2 situatien which it was feared wvaid develop this year when the post-war bulge of school pup:is was first recog. nized, It was hoped, however, that increased industry through- out the county of Kent would solve the yroblem of providing employment for the school- leavers. The government, however, has adopted measures to slow down industrial expansion in the south-east section of Eng- land. This step was taken pri- marily. because of the ecute overcrowding of the main roads and railways, and the difficwity of providing housing accommo- dation for more industrial work- ers. The former policy of grant- ing financial assistance to firms willing to move their factories to the Kent coast was aban- doned, A board of trade industrial development certificate is now required before a factory of over 10,000 square,feet can be built in Kent. Few of these certificates are now being issued. The uncertainty of the num- bers who will be returning to school after having left is pos- ing a problem for the head- masters. One of them said: "It will be quite a headache in the secondary moderna schools. A head teacher has no idea until he gets back to school after the holidays how many pupils he will have in the top grade. Teachers do favor the idea of pupils staying at school until they are 16. But if there are too many of them coming back, it may be awk- ward providing accommodation and teachers for them." BURY CABLES KITIMAT, B.C.
