She Pshawn Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E,, Oshawa, Ontario ' T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, OCTOPER 4,,1962 -- PAGE 6 Bureaucrats Blocking Creek Area Development The Ontario Municipal Act and the department. of government built around it, the department of municipal - affairs, have long been targets for criticism, The Act is outmoded, and the department all too often seems to be completely out of touch with the affairs it is supposed to he con- cerned with. Oshawa was treated to an example of departmental fumbling only this week. The community planning branch of the department has asked city council to reconsider its request for rezoning of creek valley land just west of the city hall, The branch's crystal gazers apparently were able to reach this decision without consul- ting council and without making any first-hand examination of the situ- ation. The city's planning board had split on the rezoning proposals, the three council members on the board sup- porting rezoning and the three ap- pointed members opposing it. City council itself decided in favor of the rezoning, but when council applied for departmental approval, the appointed members of the' planning board sub- mitted a "minority report' -- and the letter to council from the com- munity planning branch sounds like a tiresome repetition of what was un- doubtedly. in that report. Now the city is being forced into a position that will be time-wasting as well as costly, The community plan- ning branch is concerned about a bit of land that will never make a worth- while park, and a stream that has little to recommend it -- an area that will require an enormous expenditure to keep it from becoming an eyesore if it is not rezoned. But the branch is not concerned about the assessment the city would derive from the com- mercial establishments that would be built there, or the jobs for Oshawa people that would come with develop- ment of the area, or indeed the beauti- fication plans proposed by the deve- lopers. Oshawa member of the Legislature Mr. T. D. Thomas might well discuss this matter with the municipal affairs minister, Factors In Re-Training Two factors that complicate the training or retraining of workers are youthful haste and adult resistance to change. W. R, Dymond Ontario assistant deputy minister of labor, recently noted that in the adult labor force today, 43 out of 100 persons have a grade eight education or less and lack sufficient knowledge, particu- larly of mathematics, to fit them- selves for other jobs. In other words, they have to make up the schooling they missed or neglected before they can be trained for jobs that require certain skills. Even in recent years, the labor de- partment official pointed out, about 85 per cent of students entering ele- mentary schools have left at or before grade eight, and another 35 per cent have left school before obtaining their junior matriculation. It seems clear that while school studies can be changed to offer more practical job- training, students will have to change themselves if there is to be any gain. Mr. Dymond did not mention the touchy subject of the student who is unable to profit in any way from schooling beyond the grade eight level. He did say,. however, that re- search has shown that the average worker can no longer expect to re- main indefinitely in a single occupa- tion with a given set of unchanging skills. But it has proved extremely difficult to persuade employed people to learn, the skills needed for better and more permanent "jobs, More Sources Of Oil With Canadian oil production at an all-time high this. year, the industry is now producing at 53 per cent of its potential. At the present rate of discovery, it will be producing 80 per cent of its potential by 1970. The con- clusion reached in an article in the October issue of Imperial Oil Review is that unless more oil is found in Canada, domestic and foreign markets by 1970 will be taking just about all the oil Canada can produce, and be- cause it usually takes six to 10 years before exploration work. results in new oil production, it isn't a moment too soon to begin building up reserves. To do this the oil industry must boost its annual exploration budget from the $250 million now being spent to $300 million by 1970. A "temporary over-supply" slowed exploration following the rapid oil discoveries of the Forties and early Fifties, but exploration is being inten- sified this year, the Review notes. The geologists, geographysicists, wild- cat and development drillers are busy. During the past century, the in- dustry has drilled more than 60,000 holes in Canada, with half of them producing oil. Today there are 17,960 Canadian oil wells and 5,994 natural gas wells capable of production. It seems that there will be many more by the end of the decade. No Substitute In Sight Earlier in the year a strike left the city of Minneapolis without its news- papers for nearly four months. Here are some of the things that happened as a result: Retail sales for the period were down by more than $10 million, be- cause of the lack of newspaper ad- vertising. Movie and theatre atten- dances fell drastically. Local radio and television tried hard to fill the gap but, by their own admission, they She Oshawa Times T. L.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The' Church of England Commissioners rank as among the most wealthy land- owners in the whole of Britain. From the revenues it receives from its properties, running into 8 value of hundreds of millions of dollars, the church provides for the stipends 'and pensions of its clergy. And in an effort to increase its income, and so make increases in the emolu- ments of its clergy, it is under- taking a huge property transfer deal. According to an announcement made officially by the Commis- sioners, properties of a value of around $75 million are involved in a series of transactions which will extend over the next two years. In that period, the Com- missioners plan to sell a list of properties all over the country, ranging from substantial Lon- don stores to farms in York- shire. FOLLOW NEW PLAN Over the last five years, the Church Commissioners have en- tered into a new plan of invest- ing their huge resources. They have formed partnerships with large development companies. Commitments made in forming these partnerships will re- quire the provision of a sum of close to $75 million within the next two or three years. This money will be raised by the sale of large blocks of the properties now held by the Commissioners. The money will in turn be used for the building of houses, apart- ment buildings and office blocks in London and other parts of the country, It is anticipated that this change of investment will provide the increased income required to give the clergymen higher stipends and pensions. A spokesman for the Church Commissioners, making the an- nouncement, added these de- tails: "The properties which it is proposed to sell are at present leased at rents which are fixed for the next 50 years or more. Since the beginning of the year over $12 million have been raised from the sa'e of 44 build- ings, Another 40 properties will be auctioned early next year." LARGE ESTATES The properties to be soid ex- tend over a large area. They in- clude a number of large stores on Oxford street, commercial buildings in Kingsway and in the City district of London. Other properties to be sold are BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Ewart Everson was appoint- ed a member of the Oshawa Board of Education to succeed Ross Mackinnon, who had left the city.

The first air mail service in Canada was inaugurated 35 years ago today--in 1927 The next year it was de- cided to begin developing facilities for a transconti- nental commercial air serv- ice and air mail services were extended as each sec- tion of the system was com- pleted. 1936 British Fascists abandoned a parade in Lon- don following disorders in- volving 100,000 persons. 1957--Russia launched its first satellite, Sputnik 1 In a big deal with a New York provision house, farmers of the Oshawa district were able to sell their entire turnip crop of approximately 2,000 tons. J. Carroll Anderson, of Osh- awa, was believed to be the youngest commissioner who at- tended the General Council of the United Church, which open- ed in Hamilton. Oshawa's population estimate for 1932 was given by the city assessor as 22,444, a decrease of 558 from 1931. The 1932 assess- ment was reported as $16,743,- 490, a decrease of $158,000 from 1931, caused by a drop in the income tax assessment. Henry Parsons, for many years editor and publisher of the Port Perry Observer, died at the age of 93. Ontario Shore Gas Company announced a reduction of 35 cents per 1,000 cubic feet in the Price of gas. located in Plymouta, Ports. mouth, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle and Nottingham. The agricultural lands in- volved, varying from single farms up to large estates of over 400 acres, range all the way from Durham in the north- east to Cornwall in. the extreme southwest. The Commissioners are. also Planning to sell some of their stock exchange investments to provide mere capital for de- velopment enterprises. The rents of the freehold properties which are to be sold amount to over $1,050,000 a year. No apartment blocks or houses are to be sold, other than thase which form part of farms and estates. According to the estate secre- taf¥ of the Church Commission- ers, it is hoped that the agri- cultural sales, involving some 65,000 acres of land, will be ne- gotiated with private investors, institutions or tenants. Only as a last resort will the properties be sold by auction. OTTAWA REPORT Veteran Senator Blasts Meek MPs Sy PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Our new House of Conimons is a house of minori- ties, in which no one political party could form a stable gov- ernment imposing its policies upon Parliament. Some experienced observers here suggest that these cendi- tiens could lead to admirable overnment, with every piece of egislation incorporating the best ideas before it could win approval in the House. Practical politicians, however discount this Utopian hope, an fear that one or more opposition parties may give partisan wran- gling precedence over the inter. ests of Canada, as they seek to further their indiyidual for- unes. One obvious disadvantage to Canada following fram this sec- ond possibility is that the day- La | re of gorereing us wal re than ever in the hands af the bureaucrats. Searcely mare than half the members of this new. Parlia- ment have sat here during the past four years, and less than one quarter were sitting here more than five years ago, Such a new Commons has a great opportunity te take back for it- self mayen of the power which its predecessors have abdicated te the civil service. It should especially feel spurred te do this by the disclosures of waste and delay within our elvil serv- ice, which were recently re- ported by the Glassco commis- glen on government organiza- on. "G.0.M." STRONG CRITIC 1962's Grand Old Man of Par- liament has been Hon. T. A. Crerar, the Scottish - Canadian senator from Manitoba, wi a spent more to my z years on and ar rlia- ment Hill. He first entere 4 Cabinet 45 years ago; he is t only Canadian who was a mem- ber of our Cabinet in both World Wars. First elected to the Commons in 1917, he was appointed to the Senate in 1 where he won the reputation as one of Canada's wisest elder . statesmen. : From this position of experi- ence and broad view, he for long deplored the modern rank- and-file Members of Parliament as a meek and responsibility- shunning shadow of the coura- geous and energetic political gi- - ants of our grandfathers' day- . "Ever since the outbreak of the § d World War," he said YOUR HEALTH Woman Ignoring Persistent Cough By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD "Dear Dr. Molner: My mother, 55, has had a terrible, persistent cough for 20 years. 'She refuses to do anything about it although it leaves her exhausted after every spell. "She once went to a doctor who prescribed some pills which stopped the cough, but she never bothered to renew the prescription. Is there something you could write which might scare her enough so she would go to the doctor again? She al- ways reads your column and of- ten quotes the advice you give to others.--D. 0." Maybe there's a better way than to scare her, But if she reads today's column, I hope she considers the fact that she is scaring her son by not getting rid of that cough. Perhaps -- this is a curious quirk of human nature, but it happens over and over again-- she doesn't go because she's al- ready too scared. Afraid of what? Afraid, for some reason, that she may be told she has a dangerous dis- ease! Years ago, people used to dread being told that they had tuberculosis, They still do---and put off finding out until cure be- comes. difficult or impossible. Today they know that there are many kinds of lung disease besides TB, but the old dread of hearing the truth still lingers, That could be the reason your mother won't go to the doctor again, although if she thought about it, she would realize that if she had some such perilous disease, it would have made it- QUEEN'S PARK Quick Sales Give | Spur To Salesmen By DON O'HEARN LONDON, England--It is not so much different doing busi- ness over here as we have been led to think, Many of us.in Canada have grown up with the idea that in the United Kingdom business is done at short intervals over large pots of tea, This picture apparently is not a true one, however. The English pace is somewhat different.. But nevertheless it can be both quick and efficient, FIRST DAY This is one of the surprising things Ontario manufacturers have been learning as_ they have come over on the prov- ince's sales missions, They have been a bit timid about their prospects and al- most invariably don't expect to make quick sales. But they have been doing so. One Monday afternoon, for in- stance, three men came into On- tario House together. This had been their first busi- ness day in the country. And all had signed firm orders during the day. They were as excited as kids at a picnic. . THINK EXPORT? One of the big things that these missions are accomplish- ing is that they are spreading the word that we can do busi- ness overseas, Some of the men on them rep- CARPET -RUG AND CHESTERFIELD 728-9581 puo Satisfaction Guaranteed or Money Refunded Free Pick-Up and Delivery.

Most share one thing in com- mon: to them the prospect of export sales is a wild dream that is coming true. Until spurred on by the trade and industry branch of the. de- partment of economics and de- velopment, they didn't think seriously of export. But they have been having success. And this in 'urn will encourage others. -- ALL HELPED With the support being offered by the government practically any manufacturer in the prov- ince can get in on this new market. : Nobody is too small. If a manufacturer can't go on a sales mission (for which the government pays return air fare) there is the commission agent program to take care of him, nder this program groups of manufacturers are being or- ganized and agents hired who will represent' several lines in the overseas market. This whole trade crusade of the government, of course, 1s an exciting operation. At home we are driving to make more of our own goods. Over here we are getting out and selling. Just watching it in operation is stimulating. CLEANING self inescapably known in 20 years. Therefore let's suspect that the cough is from some chronic condition or irritation and that, on the evidence, it is something that can be eased by medica- tion, Quite aside from her own comfort and your peace of mind, there are very good rea- sons for getting rid of the cough, For one, the often- repeated violent pressure of coughing can streteh the lung tissues until they lose their elasticity, Then you have a con- dition known as emphysema which resilts in chronic short- ness of breath, That alone is a good enough reason for taking whatever steps are necessary to get rid of a cough. Like going to the doctor for another pre- scription! "Dear Dr. Molner: I. read about % years ago about a blind baby having pig's eyes transplanted, but they would have to wait till the baby could talk to tell whether it could see, Do you know about the case? I'm interested b cause my niece is losing her eyesight and I said I would ask you.--MRS8, Ad? That was all hopeful imagina- tion, because eyes cannot be transplanted--not even human eyes, The only transplanting yet possible is of the cornea, the window or outer surface of the eyeball. This, however, has re- stored sight to a good many people who had become blind as a result of clouded corneas. "Dear Dr, Molner:; My mother forbids me to shave my legs, and now since this new hair re- mover is on the market I won- der if you can tell me if it is safe to use,--C, PF." I don't know which "new hair remover" you mean, but I don't know of any that are harmful. (I don't know why your mother forbids shaving, unless she be- lieves the old notion that shav- ing makes the hair grow heav- fer, It is a fiction dear to the hearts of little boys who want to grow whiskers, and feared by females of all ages who don't want to, But shaving has no effect on hair growth, any more than cutting the. fingernails makes them grow _ bigger.) Some cream hair removers can cause skin irritation; therefore use cautiously and stop if irrita- tion occurs. HOUNDLESS HUNTERS CALGARY (CP) -- Hunting from horseback is gaining in popularity in these parts. About 70 horsemen, many of them jun- ior riders, recently covered a six-mile, 22-jump course in an imaginary fox hunt -- without fox or horunds. in a speech in our Upper House some years ago, "Members have shown a tendency to grant powers to the Cabinet and to the civil 'service which fifty pesre ago Parliament would not ave thought of granting." He referred to many pieces of leg- islation enacted by the former Liberal government which evi- denced this tendency to "gav- ernment by regulation", whieh of course means 'government by civil servant" in practice. PUBLIC EXPECT RULE The failure, of both Houses of Parliament to insist on. their right and auty to govern and to control legislation is bringing them into discredit in the eyes of the public, in the long-held belief of the Senator. He accepts that the role of government has grown in complexity singe what he calls "the live and let live days" when he first joined our Cabinet. And he admits that no Senator nor Commoner could keep himself familiar with the cataract of documents and par- liamentary and departmental reports. But nevertheless, since nearly a quarter century ago, Parlia- ment's abdication of its powers and responsibilities has gone much too far in the Senator's opinion. From the other side of the political spectrum, we have long heard similar opinions being ex. pressed by Conservative John Diefenbaker, who promised to restore, as in fact he has, much. of the power of Parliament. But much remains to be done to make Parliament paramount over the hired bureaucrats within' the departments and crown corporations. A first step, Suggested by Senator Crerar would be more detailed work by committees of Parliament, re- placing superficial reviews by either Chamber as a whole. And, having sat in both cham- bers, the Senator believes that less: irrelevant talk in the Come mons would raise it to the ef- ficiency and. expedition of. ths Senate.
