She Oshawa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Canada Should Prepare To Replace Surcharges Finance Minister Nowlan says that the tariff surcharges imposed last summer and the pegged dollar are to remain for a while yet -- for how long he refuses to say. His reluc- tance to set a deadline is understand- able. But meanwhile pressure is moun- ting on Canada, particularly from the United States, to drop the surcharges. Canada cannot indefinitely ignore that pressure -- we rely to heavily on export business to take a high-and- mighty stand on tariffs, and we would be going against the tide of inter- national trading. Nor would retention of the surcharges be a wise domestic policy; high tariffs not only protect inefficiency but make the domestic consumer pay the price of that ineffi- ciency. We are not going to make the solving of our economic problems any easier by thumbing our noses at our overseas customers and by ignor- ing the need for rationalization of our domestic industry. The surcharges were imposed as a temporary measure and they should be lifted at the earliest possible moment. Considering the improve- ment in our economic position follow- ing the June crisis, one must wonder if that moment has not arrived. One can certainly believe it has when one listens to the Conservative paean of praise for prosperity achieved. If the surcharges are removed, however, some other action must be taken to achieve the same result, which is stimulation of domestic pro- duction, and this must be coupled with expansion of export business, This action might well be based on the need for incentives to boost pro- dution and sales, If Mr. Diefenbaker and his colle- agues do not have any imaginative program to take the place of the unimaginative surcharge plan, then they had better get busy, because whether they like it or not, the sur- charges are doomed. Canada is out on a limb, as far as international trade is concerned -- and the countries grumbling about the surcharges might just saw it off. Our Slippery Net Debt One of the points made by the Glassco Commission is that the term "net debt" is meaningless, in the context of government expenditure, and that it is therefore extremely difficult, under present circumstances to arrive at any precise figure for the federal public debt. The Commis- sion has reported that: "Net debt purports to represent that portion of the outstanding debt not accounted for by liquid or self-sup- porting assets. In fact, many of the assets are not self-supporting and others are deferred expenditures. Various items on the liabilities side are also open to challenge as artificial and unreal. From the accounting view- point, 'Net Debt' is a meaningless and misleading concept. Other coun- tries avoid such perils by publishing statements of outstanding debt. This is accepted as a good yardstick to measure the financial position of the nation, since it indicates what loans, advances or expenditures have been Message Of On Sunday we once more observed Remembrance Day. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that some of- us did. But if those who were too lazy, or were suffering hangovers, or just did not care enough to pay some small tribute yesterday to those who gave their lives in battle for this country -- if the neglectful had no time yesterday to look back, perhaps the sharp realities of the present will make them more thoughtful of the future. If so, they still should look back: The men whose names are inscribed on the war memorials throughout the land died for a reason. They were not out for an afternoon drive; they were not rushing home through heavy traffic to a good dinner, or hurrying to spend a few more minutes at a summer cottage. They staked their _ lives against the lives of an enemy. And had their political leaders been a little more courageous, a little more farsightend, a little less inclined to make deals with evil men, it's very She Oshawa Times T. L.

In the budget report of last spring, it was estimated that the net debt stood at $13.2 billion. But it was also stated that the unmatured debt was $16.9 billion, and that the gross debt was $22.9 billion. There was a budget item of $788 million, needed this year in tax revenues to pay the interest on the public debt. The average rate of interest on that debt, according to the finance minister, has remained at 3.91 per cent over the past two years; but on the basis of that rate, the liability must total something over $20 billion. Thus is confusion compounded. Commentator C. J. Harris reason- ably asks, "Is it too much to ask that the taxpayer see an annual report that clearly states how much has been borrowed, how much has been paid back, and how much is owed? After all, he's backing the loan." A clearer statement on debt may be one of the happy results of the Glassco Commission. The Dead possible that many of them need never have faced the great and final challenge. There is a similar situation today. Once again, as in the early Thirties, the world is faced with an aggressive force led by unprincipled men who understand only the realities of power politics. And once again, as in the Thirties, we hear raucous appeals and demands that we yield a little to the aggressors "for the sake of peace". Thank heaven that there are still leaders among us who have not for- gotten the lesson of history: You - cannot bribe power-hungry men to keep the peace, because every bribe is taken as a sign of weakness. You can only keep the peace by being calm, resolute -- and strong. That, we believe, would be the message that would be given us by the men whose names are carved on the war memorials, were they able to address us today.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Grandiose plans to increase the capacity of Lon- don's Heathrow Airport are in the making to cope with the ex- pansion of air traffic expected within the next few years. It.is anticipated that by 1966 the movement of aircraft will be more than doubled at British airports. The plans being con- sidered by the ministry of avia- tion will make it possible for more than 600 aircraft -- about one every three minutes -- will take off and land each day at London Airport. Already air traffic jams, which delay passengers and force planes to circle airports until there is room for them to land, are becoming a major problem. The other day, after a thick morning fog, I watched a steady stream of large pas- YOUR HEALTH Two Germs Cause Of Trench Mouth By Joseph G. Molner, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: What causes "trench mouth'? What is the condition of the mouth and ton- gue in this disease?--R.G. Trench mouth, or Vincent's angina, is an infection of the mucous membranes, mainly of the mouth, caused by two va- rieties of germs, and I won't bore you with the laboratory de- tails. One's a crooked little bug, the other a fat little one. But you can't see either except with a microscope. The germs spread very easily. Through kissing, for one thing, or from common drinking cups, etc. (Just to ward off criticism, I will say now that I do not ob- ject to kissing; all I say is, don't go around kissing people who have trench mouth. Does that let me off the hook from critical readers? I remember when I made mention that infectious mononucleosis also was known as "kissing disease." I had a small barrage of letters from readers who accused me of being "'opposed to romance.") Anyway, I didn't invent kiss- ing, or Vincent's angina or mon- onucleosis, All I do is report the facts. But if you drink out of the wrong cup someday, and pick up the bugs, the result will be , red, inflamed, sore gums, and very likely there will be some gray spots, and there will or can be peeling of gum and mouth tissues in general. Besides, there will be an offensive smell to the breath. The diseased gums, if not treated, can result in time in loosening and loss of teeth. In past years some rather strong chemicals were used: so- dium perborate and chromic acid. Today we know that peni- cillin works excellently. Dear Dr. Molner: Other women say menstrual difficult- ies diminish with age. I find mine increasing, especally the pre-menstrual sort. I am 33 and in fine health. I had no trouble as a. girl. There is no single time I can point to and say, "This is when it started," but gradually there have come depression, bad temper, headache, swelling, in- somnia, nausea--you name it. Have you any suggestions? I'm tired of being. considered a grouch and feeling like a goof- off.--V.B. You have a lot more compan- RETURN TO CAPITALISM? MOSCOW (AP)--The Soviet Communist party Friday an- nounced its central committee fons in misery than you know, and a lot of them suffer in un- happy silence because they don't realize that a great deal can be done to help them. I know of one instance in which a woman had such swel- ling that she had to keep extra clothes for use a few days be- fore her period. She actually in- creased several sizes. Finding out that this condition could be corrected, she then went back to just one size of clothes, Dear Dr. Molner: Does smok- ing cause damage to the lungs? What about the non-smoker who + seam in the smoke?--Mrs. Tm satisfied that it can be damaging, and is for many peo- ple. But even in the traditional "smoke-filled room," the non- smoker gets only a fraction of a per cent of the tars and other byproducts that a smoker does. One authority recently referred to smoke-filled as "artificially- created smog." Dear Dr. Molner: Will "stretch marks" disappear with a loss of weight? This question applies to teen-agers.--A.K. No, The marks will fade but won't disappear. This applies at any age. senger planes circling around for as long as two hours, at regularly decreasing heights, until they could get into the landing stream. DOUBLE RUNWAYS The ministry of aviation is de- termined to make a bold bid to end these irritating delays. Its experts are working on a new plan which would enable two jet airliners to land and take off simultaneousiy at London Air- port on parallel runways about half a mile apart, and so double the capacity at Heathrow. The scheme provides for a 10- mile approach path, with a 24- mile-wide track for airliners coming into the airport, and a track of similar width for those taking off. In the middle of this motorway in the sky there would be a five-mile wide space barrier to keep aircraft that dis- tance apart. CLAIM TO DANGER The experts declare that if the experiments are successful and these double landings be. come a normal part of flying. there will be no lessening of th present high level of air safety. There will be no danger. The new ideas are being developed with their own built-in safety standards which will supple- ment the present system. Coincident with doubling the airport's capacity, there will be a new study of air traffic con- trol. Dennis Watkins, a ministry of aviation official, says: "More and better radar sta- tions will be built to give com- plete radar control over the British Airways system between 5,000 and: 25,000 feet. New air traffic control centres will be built in the London and Preston areas, designed so that they can be expanded to meet all our re- quirements for the next 20 years. "New and better communica. tions are being installed. Closed circuit television will be used. Many other improvements are also planned, including modifi- cations to the size and shape of controlled air space in order to allow for twin-track runways," he added. At the same time, the minis- try, is trying to make up its mind about a third airport for London, to supplement Heath. row and Gatwick. In the mean- time, it is working to ease the growing problems of Britain's skyways and the _ irritation seemingiy unnecessary delays are causing Britain's growing number of air travellers. BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO W. E. N. Sinclair, KC, MP, anounced his retirement from the practice of law which he had carried on here for 48 years. oe A St. Andrew's Society for Oshawa was formed with J. H. McDiarmid appointed chairman. Oshawa building for the first 10 months amounted to $1,142,- 585. Robert Boyko of Oshawa, was awarded the W. K, Kellogg Foundation Scholarship in the faculty of dentistry at the Uni- versity of Toronto. Oshawa's Community Chest exceeded its objective of $89,000 to reach a total of $92,703.

Quebec Election Closely Watched By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTA,WA--The results of the Quebec provincial election Nov. 14 are being awaited here with impatient interest by politicians of threi2 parties, with oniy the NDP, who are taking no part in it at all, quite unconcerned. The "mnnecessary election" is being held less than 29 months after the previous Quebec poll- ing. But: it is believed here to be likely to have interesting repercussions on the federal scene, mo matter which way the Wha ballots tire marked. The issue is. described by many observers as being frankly "free enterprise versus socialisna." Liberal Premier Jean Leisage called the election to seek 'public approval for his proposal to nationalize hydro- electric j»ower companies in the province. His opponent, Union Nationale leader Daniel John- son, does not basically disagree that Quebec should do w.at On- tario and other provinces have already done--although he pre- scribes eertain studies before any hasty action. Deeper than the power issue is seen the hovering shadow of Rene Levesque, minister of power anid of hydraulic re- sources im Premier. Lesage's cabinet. Levesque, his critics assert, go@s far down the road to socialisim; nationalization of the power icompanies is only his first step. He also plans to na- tionalize the telephone company pulpwood rnills and the mining industry, it is charged. He is also four-square behind Lesage in criticism of the capital which has develogyed his province, and the English-speaking manage- ment which goes with it in many cases. This attack on "alien trusts" coupled with the socializatiom plans may well encourage tlae business vote and the non-Fremch - speaking eiec- torate to ompose the Liberals on Polling day. EFFECT OIN OTTAWA If the Liberals do not sweep the province in this election, the prospects for Liberal gains at the expense of Social Credit in the next federal election are seen as negligible. But if the Liberals should re- peat their victory of 1960, some interesting 'ydevelopments be- come possible. Jean Lesage would resign within nine months, handing QUEEN'S PARK Opportunity Show Will F . Repeated BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The first. Manu- facturing Opportunities show in Ontario history was an out- standing success. Now further shows will be held in other areas of the prov- ince. One of the most striking as- pects of the show was that our manufacturers. made it clear that they would like to buy component parts made at home, if at all possible. So much so that one manu- facturer paid out good money to show proiucts he was importing which included skipping ropes and a kiddies punching bag. Scheduling of shows in other areas will mean that still more imported parts will be on dis- play, In every section of the prov- ince there are manufacturers bringing in parts. It would mean a big expense to bring displays of these to Toronto. But they will be eager to enter an M.O. show in their home areas. As has been noted here be- fore this M.O. program is one of the really progressive steps the government is taking today. The only regret is that it wasn't started six years ago. It should have been -- and would have if some of our senior of- ficials could have had their way.
