She Oshawa Funes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Three Years Of Papers Cleared In Just A Day The Glassco Commission on Gov- ernment Organization estimates that the cutting down of paper work in federal offices alone could save some $50 million of the taxpayers' money. The commission found that: The government of Canada now has 100,000 civilian and military employ- ees -- one of every eight clerical workers in Canada -- engaged in "typing, dispatching, recording, filing and storing correspondence and in the preparation of reports, forms and directives"; each year the govern- ment puts in storage the equivalent of 88 railway boxcars full of addi- tional records; every year the gov- ernment prepares 100,000 forms at a cost of $5.5 million for materials and perhaps $100 million in terms of clerical labor; the various depart- ment own, among them, some 200,000 filing cabinets, There is no doubt that much of this paper work is simply "make work" -- the result of the Ottawa application of Parkinson's first law, which says that work expands to fill the time available for it. We recall that during the Second World War, Canadian military head- quarters in Britain had to fight a massive paper war; every scrap of paper, every requisition, every memo (we were told) was required at least in triplicate, was of great historical importance, and had to be carefully filed. The files grew space, bank upon bank of them. The weight of paper threatened to immobilize the head- quarters. Then came the way when a divisional headquarters got orders to be ready to move out of the country in four days' time. Only essential papers were to be retained, and to make sure of this, the authorities set weight and space limits. Within a few hours, practically all the carefully filed and jealously guarded docu- ments were blazing merrily in the grates of damp old country houses; it took less than a day to dispose of the unnecessary paper work that had taken up a great deal of the time of a large number of men for about three years. A static army saves paper through fear; a major wants to protect him- self against a colonel, a colonel against a brigadier, a brigadier against a general. And the vast organization built by the federal government is as static an army as one can find, and probably dominated by much the same fear. But the fears are those of small people, generally too small for their jobs, and generated by the uncomfortable knowledge that what they are doing is probably un- necessary. Let's get down to business, and stop that $50 million waste. Mr. Hees Needs Help Trade Minister Hees, with his usual energy and enthusiasm, has launched a new sales campaign which he is calling "Operation World Markets". Next March the federal government will bring 200 business- men and trade officials from foreign countries for a week to meet Canadian manufacturers of machinery and equipment. Then in. April moré than 500 foreign buyers will be flown to Toronto for the National Canadian Samples Show, at which more than 400 Canadian companies will show goods ranging from furniture to sports goods. This will be followed by a conference of Canadian trade com- missioners from all areas of the world to discuss changing conditions of world trade. And finally there will be the second National Export Trade Promotion Conference to be held in Ottawa from April 16 to May 3, and to be attended by more than a thousand Canadian exporters. Court Of St. Ambasadors to Britain are still accredited to the "Court of St. James through no British monarch has lived at St. James's Palace since the time of George III. A BBC broadcaster re- cently gave this account of the "rise and fall" of the palace: The original building on the site, overlooking the broad avenue of The Mall and St. James's Park beyond, was.a leper house in which 14 women were incarcerated, looking out to the then distant spires of London and being entertained once a year by a Fair, the profits from which maintain- ed their unhappy existence. This went on until Henry VIII pulled down the leper house and built himself a hunt- ing lodge, which is now St. James's Palace.

His efforts have undoubtedly helped -- along with famine' in China and crop failures in Poland -- to push our exports to new highs. But Mr. Hees' aggressive sales- manship cannot bring best results without co-operation from the rest of the government and from industry and labor. Canadian goods must be competitively priced and delivered on time; Canadian business should have incentives to seek greater efficiency and modernity; and Canada cannot except to export manufactured goods from behind a high tariff wall. In other words, Mr. Hees needs some help. It takes more than en- thusiasm to sell goods if they are not competitive in price and quality. Some Canadian goods are competitive, but when they are, it is despite the difficulties put in their way by sur- charges, taxes and other costs and impediments, James the kings and queens who lived there must have been! For one thing, it has no railings, and one can wander into the courtyard, or peep through a window, quite easily despite the sentries pacing outside; it is small and intimate and very much a part of London. Pepys caught the flavor of it when he wrote in his Diary: "Coming to St. James's, I hear that the Queen did sleep five hours pretty well to- night, and that she washed and gargled her mouth, and so to sleep again" -- and it's even recorded that a visitor once fell down some steps headlong into the royal sanctum, to find when he recovered his senses that plaster was being stuck on his skull by King George II. But the next king, George III, felt compelled to move from St. James's and buy the Duke of Buckingham's huge house, which became Buckingham Palace in 1761, Bible Thought For the time is come when judg- ment must begin at the house of God. -- I, Peter 4:17.

OTTAWA REPORT - Times Of Change In Commonwealth YOUR HEALTH Babies Need Time Dear Dr. Molner: Would you explain the exploratory bowel test when air is injected? Is it _ harmful? How often can it be For Development By JOSEPH G. MONER,y MD Dear Dr. Molner: I have heard that when one has a Caesarean birth, the mother can choose the date. I have also heard that a baby is ready to be born at seven months, and the last two months are merely for development. Because of this, I wonder if it would be possible for mothers to have the babies at seven months, in cases where a Cae- sarean section would be neces- Sary anyway.--S. 8. I don't know where you heard these things, but I hope you don't do any more listening there. The rest of the "informa- tion" you pick up might be even worse! It is scarcely even a_half- truth to say that a baby is "ready to be born at seven months." That is the earliest stage at which, in the words of one medical text, the infants "are fairly well developed and have only slightly reduced chances for survival." From one to four. weeks earlier, the babies have not even concluded their basic de- velopment; they are loose- skinned because they have ac- cumulated no fat; they have to be protected with greatest pre- cision to live. Only a little earlier than that, they cannot yet nurse, haven't the strength to keep their body temperature steady, exist in a state that is neither quite sleep- ing nor waking, sometimes can't even breathe. In all these cases (and, for that matter, among full-term nine-month babies) any infec- tion is dangerous. The more premature, the less chance the TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 10, 1962... Plans for a European eco- nomic federation of France, West Germany, Italy, Bel- gium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg were drafted by the six nations 10 years ago today--in 1952. As a re- sult the European Economic Community, also known as the.Common Market or In- ner Six, came into being on Jan. 1, 1958, and by the end of 1961 six members of the Outer Seven, or European Free Trade Association, had asked for membership. 1898--The main portion of New Westminster, B.C., was destroyed by fire with dam- age estimated at $2,000,000. 1939 -- Canada declared war on Nazi Germany. RE-DISCOVERS FRIENDS MONTREAL (CP) Elsa Corry has re-discovered another 400 friends since coming to Can- ada in April. Miss Corry, senior hostess for Canadian YMCA -chibs in England, met hundreds of Canadian servicemen and was still writing to more than 100 of them last, Christmas; baby has of combatting germ attacks. Add to this the fact that the "normal" term of development is not precisely the same for all babies. Some develop, a little more slowly. A variation of only a couple of weeks can, at criti- cal stages, be the difference be- tween life and death. Caesarean births are not pref- erable to normal births. They are simply preferable when nor- mal birth is impossible, or is fraught with greater risks. I do not mean that a Caesar- ean is dangerous. It is not. But any surgical procedure auto- matically involves some 'poten tial risk and is not attempted without valid reason. And--this is important--even if a Caesarean is necessary, the intent always is to give the baby as long a period of development as possible before birth. Nature intended it that way. done?

The barium, which * opaque for x-rays, will show on the plates. Injection of air is sometimes required to help bring out cer- tain details of the exact con- tours of the bowel. This causes no harm whatsoever and may safely be repeated whenever re. quired. Dear Dr. Molner: How many calories in a slice of diet bread? One jelly bean? One piece of hard candy?--M. T.

How big a jelly bean do you mean? An ordinary piece of hard candy. % inch square would be about 30 calor- ies. Whether it's hard candy, jelly bean or some other kind, sugar contains a lot of calories in a small 'space. REPORT FROM U.K. 'Part-Time' Study Of Women Doctors By MR. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondext to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A girl medical student at Guy's Hospital in London has been responsible for the inauguration of a survey as to the present status and posi- tion of all women who have graduated as doctors. This stu- dent is Miss Ann Coxun, She wrote an article for the Guy's Hospital Gazette in which she pointed out that this resource of trained and qualified medical personnel is being wasted. And this, she claimed, was partly due to the fact that married women doctors are finding it practically impossible to secure part-time appointments. According to Miss Coxon, there are.11,000 women doctors in Britain at the present time, Of these, it is estimated that only 3500 are in full-time medi- cal practice. "This suggests that there are about 7500 women doctors avail- able to' work," was her com- ment, SPURS SURVEY Because of Miss Coxon's ar- ticle, the Guy's Hospital Gazette has instituted a survey to find out how many women doctors leave the profession entirely after marriage. A questionnaire has been sent to all women doctors who have qualified at Guy's Hospital during the last 15 years. They are being asked questions about their careers, The specific purpose of the sur- vey is to find out not only how many women doctors leave the profession after they are mar- ried, but how many would con- tinue if they could be given part-time appointments. ESSO STATIONS Available For Lease!! Inquiries welcomed regarding all areas. For details telephone Oshawa 728-5185 or write to: N. 0. SVENSON, imperial Oil Limited, P.O. Box 296, Oshawa Says Dr. David Barker, edi- tor of the Gazette: "We have written to all of them to find out just how much wastage there js, and how many women doctors would be available to the health service if there were more part-time jobs." The doctors are asked to state if they are married, if they are still practising and if they had trouble in finding suit- able part-time work. ENORMOUS WASTAGE In her article. which inspired the survey, Miss Coxon made a 'demand that the National Health Service should provide more part-time jobs for women doctors. She wrote that many women who marry after they qualify find it difficult to secure satisfying 'jobs once they have raised a family. She added: "The essential problem today is the enormous wastage of women doctors. A few years ago, the observation that 60 per cent of women doctors were no longer working would have pro- voked sighs of relief. But this is no longer just a joke. With the acute shortage of doctors at junior levels, it has become an economic necessity for the Na- tional Health Service to provide suitable jobs for those women who are able and willing to work," To help them, she suggests, there should be part-time jobs in each district for women doc- tors. And if necessary, women doctors should be encouraged to return to work by receiving tax concessions..

QUEEN'S PARK Stumbling 'Start For School Plan By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The Robarts plan for secondary school education has got off to a stumbling start. The plan becomes effective this year in Grade 9. To date you can say it is par- tially effective, partially inef- fective. In some areas the program-- under which students elect to take academic, commercial or technical courses--has been ap- plied. In others it hasn't. Nobody will really dispute that the program, and accept- ance of it, was not fully pre- pared. - Some say it has been rushed into and that it should have been held. off at least another year, Others say the government was so late-in planning it (one expert says it should have been started at least five years ago.) that it had to be started this year no matter what shape it was in, - One viewpoin that can be taken is that the program rep- resents such a great change it never could have been launched in a neat and orderly way. That inevitably it would have to be worked out through trial and er- ror and gradual public educa- tion. It also must be borne in mind that 'this is not the key year.
