] She Oshawa Canes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1962 -- PAGE 6 isa Bate ak "Needs To Be oy Prime Minister Diefenbaker has "found an excellent man to act as "chairman of Royal Commission on *y Taxation. Kenneth LeMesurier is a "~past chairman of the Canadian Tax Foundation, past president of the Institute of Chartered Accounts of Ontario and, through his business and charitable activities, a recognized 'authority on tax questions. . : At the time of writing, Mr. Diefen- 'paker has not named the other four "members of the Commission and has not set forth the inquiry's terms of 'reference. He has said that the Com- 'mission will cover the whole field of "federal taxation, including both prin- 'ciples and practice and its impact on the national economy. » Thus a big steps is taken towards an inquiry which has been badly needed, is long overdue and could be +. indeed, should be -- the most im- portant Royal Commission ever to sit in this country. If it is confined to an examination of federal taxation alone, however, it can do only half a job. There are pro- vincial and municipal taxes, and while Opportunity Canadian government spokesmen have been relatively quiet in recent months about the possible effects on Canadian trade of British member- ship in the European Common Market. It will be recalled that Trade Minister Hees was one who, last year, saw all sorts of dire results to Canada if Britain joined Euromart. But Mr. 'Hees appeared to be content to let some of his cabinet colleagues prolong the chorus of complaint. Perhaps he * saw that Euromart also offerd Can- 'ada an opportunity for expanding ' gales, At least, that is the message of 'Canadian' trade commissioners in ' France. In the latest issue of Foreign Trade, '.the publication of the Department of ' Trade and Commerce, our officials in * Paris write about improved prospects "for sales in France of Canadian cereal ' grains and seeds, dressed furs and ' fur garments, processed foods and ' fish products and a considerable range of other commodities. Total Effect Of Taxes Examined these do not take as big a bite out of the citizen's wages as do the federal levies, they are substantial and have a direct bearing on the operation of the economy. The division of taxing rights between federal, provincial and municipal governments should be ex- plored, because no valid conclusions about Canadian taxation can be reach- ed without such an exploration; the tax "take" may be divisible, but the tax load is total and must be carried as a total load by the individual and the business, and it is this load and the way it is distributed that concerns the Commission. : The provinces, therefore, should co-operate fully with the Commission, although there is no constitutional compulsion on them to do so. But Premiers Robarts of Ontario, Roblin of Manitoba and Manning of Alberta have agreed in the past that an in- quiry into taxation is needed; we can expect these three at least to give the Commission their governments' co-operation, and provide the leader- ship for their colleagues in other pro- vinces. In France A. G. Kniewasser, Canadian com- mercial counsellor in Paris, says de- mand in France for agricultural, in- dustrial and consumer products will continue to rise and the market will remain open for enterprising export- ers. The keys to Canadian success are "competitive prices, good design, active salesmanship, perseverance and imagination. The French market is now more freely accessible to Cana- dian exporters than at any time in the history of our trade relations with France. Entry of most Canadian goods is unrestricted and new sales can be developed if prices are com- petitive when the French tariff is taken into account." Many Canadian businessmen seem to be aware of the opportunities in the French market. Last year over $20 Canadian exporters made personal sales trips to France, 42 new sales agencies were established as' a result -- and there was a 60 per cent in- crease in the Canadian exports to France in 1961. 'Milk From Machines There will be lots of jokes about the reported British discovery of a ' process for making milk from the 'same food eaten by a cow -- green 'leaves -- but bypassing the cow it- self, But if the process is a success (and the British scientists claim it is), it will be no joke to dairy farmers. They will recall that early attempts _to make margarine were funny at the "time, but the "other spread" has forced the farmers into a bitter rear- guard action, which is costing Cana- dian taxpayers millions of dollars a year in price supports, consumer sub- sidies" and the storage of surplus butter. The scientists have got rid of a greenish color in their man-made milk and are trying now to eliminate its slight vegetable flavor. If they : succeed, the product will go on sale ~ as a powder, in condensed form, and as a liquid; they say it will compete in price with cow's milk.

It could also cause a revolution in the dairy industry of a country such as Canada, where milk producers work under disadvantages of a climate that ranges from months of bitter cold to weeks of extremely hot, dry weather than can burn pastures and dry wells and creeks. A machine does not suffer from the ills of the flesh that can afflict cows and, ac- cording to the British researchers, can use all sorts of "trash" growth. Other Editors' Views d HANDY.

The IATA is already well aware Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A bitter behind. the-scenes row is forecast for the annual meeting of the Inter- national Air Transport Associa- tion due to be held in Dublin, Eire in September. This organ- ization is the world air-lines rule-maker and "parliament". And the row which is antici- pated is centred on claims: by airlines executives that "under- the-counter" sales of cut-price air tickets by some airlines have reached a_ staggering level. The charge which will face the airline operators at the meeting is that several major companies, flying thousands of empty seats on their costly international routes, are des- perately drumming-up business by selling tickets, under a vari- ety of guises, at sharply re- duced rates. These sales, it is claimed, are flagrant breaches of the price-level structure of the rules laid down by the Inter- national Air Transport Associa- tion, which represents 84 air- lines of 68 different countries. One airline executive at. the London Airport said: "This filling of seats with bargain offers began in a small way. Now it has reached a staggering level. I reckon that you can number the airlines which do not indulge in theme practices on the fingers of both hands." On some routes, cuts in price of up to 30 per cent are being offered on tickets. The main areas to which under - cover offers are being made are the Middle East, South America and parts of the Far East and Africa. The methods of doing this vary. In some cases, tickets re re-written after sale. These, dearing the correct fare, go that this kind of thing is going on. It is recruiting additional plain clothes enforcement offi- cers to pinpoint and stop irreg- ularities whenever they are discovered. It is no secret in the world of airlines that at the #ssociation's meeting in Dublin in September, a number of the big airlines will press for very severe ac- tion--including heavy fines -- against those who are evading the rate structure rules. BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Ivan Mackie's dinghy won the first race of the Oshawa Yacht Club for the Conant Cup. Lt.Col. R. H. Jobb retired from command of the Durham Regiment, and was succeeded by Lt.-Col. W. J. Hoar, of Bow- manville. Standing grain throughout the Oshawa district was badly dam- aged by a torrential downpour of rain. The Westmount pack of Boy Seouts under Harold Pearce, Morris Robinson and Ted Rob- inson, went into camp at the Kiwanis Camp grounds at Ked- ron Ernie Marks, of Oshawa, was re-elected president of the As- sociated Theatres Limited. A Christian So ci a1 Brother- hood of Oshawa, to hold reg- ular Sunday afternoon meetings, was organized with T. S. Aik- man as president and A. Cook, secretary. Colors were presented to the Ontario Regiment by Mrs, T. Edgar Houston at a colorful ceremony in Alexandra Park. A mass meeting of citizens was held and strong protest made against the city council's decision to cut all unnaturalized aliens on the relief lists. E. W. Robson won the junior golf trophy of the Oshawa Golf Club, donated by Mrs. W. E. Phillips. Johnny Walker and his camp of Marathon swimmers, includ- ing George Young and Margaret Ravoir took up quarters at Osh- awa Beach. Leonard Burnett, a native of Pickermg Township and former MP for Ontario South, died in Toronto in his 87th year. Competing with the best of Ontario Schoolboy athletes at the Ontario Athletic Commis- sion's training camp at Lake Couchiching, Oliff Maundrell, student of OCVI, entered in the maximum of three events and won first place in each of them.

COX City Tax Collector OTTAWA REPORT Old Immigration Charges Revived By PATRICK NICHOLSON ating anger and perpetuating animosity between Canadians has regrettably been revived. In the current issue of the United Church Observer. it is charged that our department of citizenshp and immigration shows preference to would-be immigrants who belong to the Roman Catholic faith. Through the years I recall various special interests criti- cessive inflow of immigrants Catholic or English or Jewish or some other category. In- vestigation, as I recall, has shown that the basis for such anguish was imaginary, al- though sometimes a misunder- standing or misinformaion has made it appear that one class of immigrants was being fav. ored or frowned upon. . IMMIGRATION POLICY The keynote of our post-war illarity with our immigration picture today at once suggests that its self-evidence character- istic disproves that charge. For our inflow of immigrants now ' is so low--about one-quarter of what it was five years ago-- up at our immigration offices overseas that the officials have any cause or opportunity to i show preference for Roman immigration lic peg laid' OTTAWA ( An old ulcer cre- d ie o own by the late prime minis- ter W. L. Mackenzie King in 1947. On May 1 of that year, he prescribed that "as far as possible immigrants should be admitted into Canada in such a pattern of racial origin that there would be no, alteration in the fundamental character of the Canadian nation." A factor beyond Mr. King's control of course was the num- ber in which immigrants of var- ious races and religions came forward to seek admission into Canada, as well as the number of Canadians of those various groups who slip out our back door. But within these limita- tions, what Mr. King prescribed 15 years ago is stil practised today. If anyone has evidence of special treatment or special injustice, it would be helpful to supply that to the department. allegaion put forward by the United Church Observer, fam. YOUR HEALTH Black Can Give Catholic immigrants over those of any %ther religion. That line- up now is so small and so fast- would be crowded out of Canada even if preference were shown in the processing of another ap- plicant. The trickle of present immi- gration is clearly shown by the statistics. In the first half of this year, 34,061 immigrants entered Canada, contrasted to 36,782 in the same period last year. And the total immigration in 1961 amounted to 71,689--the lowest total of any year since 1947 when 64,127 arrived. In vivid distinction, 1957 saw the post- war high of 282,164 immigrants arrive here. an CHURCH CHARGE CHAFES The present allegation has es- pecially chagrined senior and responsible officials of the im- migration department. George lations, is very jealous of Can- ada's reputation for fairness; and he, one of the most able and dedicated senior officials in Ot- tawa, assures me that religion does not, and.never did in mod- ern times, play any part in the - assessment of the qualifications Serious Warning By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Doctor: You have writ- ten. that a very dark or black stool might indicate blood. high up in the intestine, but did not explain what such blood would indicate or what examination might or should be made. Please do so and alleviate my anxiety. --R, L. D. It's a tarry black stool that we're talking about, and it is something that ought to disurb a sufferer of it. Rectal bleeding (such as from piles or other causes) is red, of course. But bleeding farther up in the intestinal system permits chemical action to change the red blood to this black color. The bleeding may be from any of a number of places: stomach, duodenum, colon. At best, the cause should be ascer- tained and corrected. At worst, it can be a sign of something highly dangerous--cancer, for example, and the sooner it is investigated, the better the chance of cure. Other causes include polyps, and ulcers of stomach or duo- denum. Let's, for example, sup- pose that it is an.ulcer which bleeds periodically. Such loss oi blood can result in some degree of anemia and should be cor- rected for that reason alone. Why go around feeling tired and "dragged out" from anemia in- stead of getting at the cause? It is true that other things can cause a very dark stool-- spinach and beet greens are the commonest. In addition, medi- cines containing iron or bismuth may do so. But people know whether they have been taking such medicines; they know when they have eaten goodly portions of spinach or similar high - iron greens. There's no cause to be alarmed then. But if, not having such an ex- planation, one notes this tarry color, it's time to be disturbed. It's time to get to your doctor. More than likely he will need x-rays to get the answer. I'm no great hand at scaring people just for the sake of scar- ing them. Undue worry doesn't help our health. But when there is some sign that deserves in- quiry, the quicker it is studied, the better. though Have it investigated. One possi- bility Dear Dr. Molner: A friend recently told me that I shouldn't drink water soon after meals as this would dilute the digestive juices and slow down digestion. Is this true:--M. V. T. Nonsense. A glass of water after meals isn't going to inter- fere with digestion. Many foods we eat are. 80 to 90 per cent water anyway. Dear Dr. Moiner: I am al- most blinded occasionally by lines that look like zigzag neon lights. This has lasted for as long as 15 minutes. Afterward I felt light-headed. Is there any- thing wrong that needs medical attention?--MRS. R. L. This certainly sounds as something is wrong. is deficient circulation; another is some local eye di- sease, glaucoma being an ex- ample, Dear Dr. Molner: I am 14 and very worried about cancer. There are lumps in both my breasts. Sometimes they get very sore.--P. C. It is quite unlikely that it's cancer, because cancer is ex- tremely rare at your age. Small cysts, which can become sore and even enlarge periodi- cally are far more common. Talk this over with the doctor, both to reassure yourself and, if required, to have treatment to ease the discomfort. It may well be, however, that your doc- tor will decide that nothing needs to be done. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "There is no, substitute for brains," says an" educator. He is mistaken. There are many substitutes for brains, with mil- lions of users of each.

They are admitted solely on the basis skill and health. In fact, no statistics are pre- pared or maintained upon the religions represented in our im. migrant flow, by the depart- ment. Canada of course supports no prescribed state worship, and we boast the record of being one of the first Western democrac- ies to initiate full religious free- dom, and absence of civic dis- qualification on grounds of re- ligion. So favoritism or false al. legations equally would be in- appropriate, and would obstruct our "melting pot" effort to build one Canada out of the many races and religions repre- sented here.
