he Oshawa Fines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Population Pressures. Force Western Action The International Monetary Fund's Per Jacobsson recently warned that the world may be moving into a de- flationary period, with supplies of raw materials and of manufactured goods catching up to demand. He was re- ferring, of course, only to the develop- ed, industrialized part of the world. If all the nations and all the peoples of the world are taken into account, there is an immense demand for materials, goods and services. The trouble is that the "unsatisfied" countries and people not only cannot buy the goods and services but in many cases have not reached the stage where they can even use them for profit or pleasure. All this, to a Western reader, may seem a statement of the obvious. But it isn't, not when one considers the rate at which the population of the world is increasing, and the fact that the greatest part of the increase is taking place in the under-developed nations. Indeed, the very rate of that increase complicates the problem of speeding up the developmnt of the under-developed. It was Sir William lliffe, World Bank president, who told a Canadian audience: "No consideration of world econ- omic affairs can possibly overlook this one overwhelming fact which threat- ens to frustrate all our best efforts to raise world living standards." The developed nations cannot ignore the problem. Sooner rather than later it is going to force itself upon us, and it will do more than just shake us out of our complacency and comfortable sense of superiority. Here are the facts, as cited recently by A. A. Thornborough, president of Massey-Ferguson: "Tt is now estimated that by 1980 world population will reach four bil- lion, and by 2020 eight billion -- an increase of six billion in a century and four times the population of 1920. At the end of this century in which we are living, if present rates con- tinue, there will be one billion Indians and 1.5 billion Chinese, this latter number of Chinese being in itself equal to 75 per cent of the total world population in the 1920s. "Furthermore, at the turn of the century, at these rates, 70 per cent of the world population will be of African or Asian origin, and 75 per cent will be living in what are today the least developed areas. The first billion people was reached after about 200,000 years; the sixth billion will take less than 10 years." Can China contain the 1.5 billion Chinese, or India the billion Indians, or Africa the teeming millions yet to be born? Certainly not, under present conditions; possibly, if those areas can during the next few decades bring their living standards, techniques and procedures up to those now used and enjoyed in Western Europe or North America. But what if they don't? It takes no great prophetic gift to forecast that the result of failure will be unrest on a massive interna- tional scale. The UN General Assembly has a plan whereby the rich countries of the world would allocate at least, one per cent of their national incomes to an effort to double the annnual rates of growth in the underdeveloped countries, expand food supplies in those countries by at least 60 per cent by 1970 and increase the number of skilled people by 10 per cent a year. The Financial Post estimates that the total cost of such a plan would be $15 billion a year, to which Canada would contribute at least twice what it does now in government aid and private investment. ; It is an expensive plan. But no one has produced a reasonable alternative. A Sense Of Proportion BY THE REV. WARREN G. DICKSON Centre Street United Church, Oshawa Dr. Jesse Bader, a distinguished church leader of the United States, tells that once when he went to Europe, he was sitting next to @ cabinet minister of the Ethiopian government. He was, said Dr. Bader, a man of magnificent physique, black as midnight, tall and powerfully puilt. He was also, as Dr. Bader soon discovered, a man of a well-informed mind and of high intelligence. During the journey they discussed some of the problems confronting the world. Dr. Bader asked him: "What is the root trouble of the world? Can you lay your finger on it?.Can you put it in a sentence?" The Etho- pian minister was silent for a mo- ment, and then he said to the minister of the Gospel: "It is just this. Our intelligence has out-run our good- ness." : Whatever one can say as one looks around the vast distress and agony and fear now about us, one cannot say the danger is from lack of know- ledge. There have been more trained minds in this generation than in any previous one, and the consequences have left the world with blanched faces and quaking hearts.

A dinary working man of every nation, but as we discovered in the terrible Cuban Crisis, this same knowledge of nuclear power could dip the world into the hell of war. In that crisis we give thanks to God for the fine leadership the Western nations had. We know how to fly the heavens and to encircle the earth, only to begin again to burrow underground. We have laid hold on the power of the sun, only to darken the world with the shadow of death. If our civiliza- tion disappears, it will be laid waste, not by hordes of barbarians, but by the efficiency of the most skilled scientists the world has produced and by the resources of the most intelli- gent and the best teained minds that any civilization has ever known. We must be careful not to fall into the error of fearing knowledge and asking for "A moratorium on science". If we are to conquer the problems confronting us, we desperately need the full resources of our human know- ledge and the finest techniques of science. But we need a sense of proportion. Jesus said: "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His Right- eousness and all these things shall be added unto you". Paul had the right order when he said we should add knowlege to virtue. The Christian hope does not claim to have all the answers to the ills of our world..It does not profess to be able to lift the curtain of time and peer into the future. The Chris- tian hope is NOT whistling in the dark, it is a matter of keeping a light burning in the dark. It does insist that in the long run there will be no defeat of God's purposes. God has not abdicated from man's history. He is still on the throne. Nothing and nobody can defeat Him. And herein is our hope. As we approach Christmas-time, if we listen with ears of faith, we will be able to hear above the whistle of the jet-engines, above the roar of the missile-motors, above the dim of exploding nuclear devices, the Holy Angels singing: "Glory to God in. the highest and on earth, peace, goodwill toward men", _ STILL HOLDING ON READERS' VIEWS Co-Ordinator's Answer To County EMO Charges Dear Sir: I would like to refer to your article in Wednesday's Times in the Whitby and Distrcit section entitled 'Agreement Dis- solved, County Quits EMO". The County of Ontario is now faced with a decision which can result in duplicating a govern- ment service which will in- crease the over-all cost of that service by having a separate EMO of their own, or not have an EMO and publicly state that the many Canadian fami- lies living in the County of On- tario have no right to have a defence against the dangers de- rived directly and indirectly from a nuclear attack, or any natural disaster. The unfortunate part of this second choice is that the tax- payers in Ontario County will continue to pay their share of the 90 per cent of all money spent on Emergency Measures by federal and provincial gov- ernments for people in other communities throughout Can- ada, whilst doing nothing in Feb. 6 County Members Mar. 7 is ie April 17 May June Sept. Oct. Oct. Nov. 5 5 6 5 5 5 5 5 6 It is also a fact that the chairman of the Control Com- mittee, Reeve Francis Hockley, stated in County Council and also to the writer for publica- tion that "There is never .a decision made at the Control Committee meetings without a majority vote of those pres- ent." The next statement reported to have been made in council was "Col. Wotton takes things on himself and does not take direction from County Council. We need someone who knows what he is doing to head up a County EMO." The county councillor making this statement has been asked to make specific reference as to what direction has not been fol- lowed and the only accusation was the writer changed dates of meetings at his own discretion. These are the meetings of the Joint Control Committee of the County and City from which the writer, your Co-ordinator, takes his directions and acts as secre- tary. Reeve Francis Hockley, this year's chairman, was ask- ed at a meeting held Novem- ber 14, if, at any time, the date of any meeting was chang- ed by any other authority than that of the Chairman, and he said "Never". The latter part of the state. ment above, "We need some- one who knows what he is do- ing to head County EMO' ap- pears to be a personal state- ment, as no facts have been presented to the writer to prove this point. However, the writer would welcome a public state- ment detailing facts in this re- gard. . ; Another statement credited to another councillor in the article is that "The joint organization job is too big for Col. Wotton, and that is meant to be no reflection on him. He has enough to do for Oshawa alone." I am in agreement with this, and two years ago indicated that eventually a Deputy Co- ordinator must be hired, which the Control Committee, in their wisdom, this year have so done. It is unfortunate that false statements are made and pub- regarding Emergency their local community to imple. ment their share of the plan. The County may still have another choice, which is to con- tinue under the present ar- rangement, whereby they direct- ly contribute 5 per cent of all money spent. In this current year, if all money budgeted for is spent, this will amount to $1768.25, or less than two and one half cents per person. In order to assist the read- ers to understand the discus- sions of County Council report- ed in your paper, I wish to correct some statements pur- ported to have been made by councillors in the article refer- red to above. The first statement made is "Oshawa always has greater representation at Joint EMO meetings, and has a greater voting power, and it is Oshawa who decides where the money is to be spent." The facts are that at all meetings held by the Joint Control Committee of EMO of the County and the City, the County has had a ma- jority as follows: \ City Members ts > bs > OF CO Measures operations, thus creat- ing a feeling of lack of confi- dence in what is being done. It is a fact the need for Emergency Measures is appar- ent to any right thinking, sober individual. Steps taken by your senior governments, provincial and federal, are all construc- tive and based upon facts and assumptions and defence con- cepts which unfortunately, are ever changing. ° Common sense tells us war is the wrong thing to have happen, however, we cannot, and dare not, take an ostrich attitude. We do not cross a street with our eyes closed, and we must not close our eyes to this danger. : F. 8. WOTTON, Co-ordinator, Public Survival, : County of Ontario and City of Oshawa POLISH PADRES Dear Sir: The first paragraph of your mewspaper's account of No- vember 12, 1962, of the decora- tion of Major, the Rev. Alfred Woolcock, with the Polish Gold Cross of Merit, and we quote: "an Imperial Army chaplain ministered to the spiritual needs of the men of the Second Polish Corps who had no padre of their own," leaves the read- er with the impression, that the Second Polish Corps, over 125,000 strong, did not have any chaplain. We think that this implica- tion is very untrue and unjust to the many Polish Padres of the battle units, rear-echelons and hospitals of the Second Corps, and in particular to those that took part in the Battle of Monte Cassino, ad- ministering last rites, taking care of wounded, giving help under the enemy fire. To mention only a few names that come readily to the minds of the men, that took part in this battle, there were: Cpt.-Father Czarny of the 2nd Arm. Brig.; Cpt.-Father Bosz- ezuk of the Ist Cav.; Cpt.- Father Huczynski killed in ac- tion at Monte Cassino; Cpt.- Father Malinowski of the Car- pathian Cav.; Cpt.-Father Stud- zinski of the 4th Arm. Reg., Major-Father Joniec of the Car- pathiah Brigade. We think that in the name of fairness to those brave and de- voted men there should be some retraction or explanation given by your paper or your informant. GEORGE GILEWSKI, (4th Arm. Reg.) LESLIE B. PRAZMOWSKI, (2nd Polish Corps) (EDITOR'S NOTE: We feel sure that our informants, also veterans of the Second Polish Corps, had no desire to create any wrong impression or to take credit away from the gal- lant padres who ministered to the spiritual needs of the corps. We regret if any such impres- sion was created.) Oshawa RELIGION IN SCHOOLS Dear Sir: It was interesting to read Agnostic's remarks about the shock many Protestants should get from the Roman Catholic Bishop's letter. According to Agnostic, there is plenty of rea- son for shock, since he has dis- covered that the Protestant clergy have invaded the public and secondary school system. I am afraid that nothing much will shock our Protestants any- more in regard to the public school issue. The founders of our schools in Ontario, Bishop Strachan and Egerton Ryerson, were deeply religious men who knew the value of Christian teaching in our schools. Our public schools used to be Protestant schools some 100 years ago, and the Separate school became neces- sary for the Roman Catholics, not because the public schools were wha' Agnostic wants us to believe, but because the public school was a school with the Protestant Bible. That Bible and the teachings from it, formed an important part of the curriculum used to shape the minds of our public school children. From all accounts we can now read that our Protestants and their Ministers are quite willing to surrender their Bible on the altar. of the "'Public School Sys- tem". If some Agnostics and Atheists cn't want public money to be spent in the public schools for teaching the Bible, the Protestant Ministers should be the first to insist upon the need for that Bible in 'the schools of our nation. It now seems that they are willing to withdraw their demands, in order to save the School System as it exists. When are we going to hear from our Protestant ministers? Instead of the Agnostics and Atheists demanding that, the be- lievers should build and main- tain their own schools, our Protestant Ministers should de- mand that the Agnostics and Atheists build their own schools. It is they who are foreign to our public school system, at least they should be, A BELIEVER. Newcastle THANKS Dear Sir: The Board of Management of the Victorian Order Nurses, Whitby Branch, wishes to thank The Oshawa Times for the excellent coverage given to all' phases of the VON work throughout the year and most especially during the recent an- nual appeal for funds. The late returns assure us that our objective will be reached, so the capable service rendered by our VON nurses throughout the Town of Whitby is assured for another year. The volunteer members of the VON board feel that the willing response to our appeal 'is 'an endorsement of our efforts to provide this service, and we would like to thank all the 'generous citizens of Whitby for making the appeal a success.

For The Oshawa Times _ LONDON -- Another spy sen- gation has stolen the limelight away from all other p of the House of Commons, and has even: relegated the debate on the Common Market negotia- tions to the back pages of news- papers. It all stems from the case of an Admiralty clerk named John Vassall, who pleaded guilty to spying and giving vital secret information'to the Russians for a period of six years. The gov- ernment at once appointed a committee of top civil servants to undertake a thorough inquiry into the security arrangements in the admiralty. But that was not enough to satisfy the oppo- sition in the House of Commons, With this the third break in admiralty secrecy in the last two years, the opposition wanted more than that. They wanted an independent inquiry by people outside the civil serv- ice, and demanded the resigna- tion of Lord Carrington, first lord of the admiralty, and more recently Scottish Under-Secre- tary of State. The opposition charge was that both of these officials were guilty of gross negligence in their handling of security ar- rangements at the admiralty. Mr. Galbraith especially came under heavy fire, because it was charged that he had been on intimate terms of friendship with the spy Vassall. Sugges- tions were made that there was something sinister to be found in correspond which p d between them. GALBRAITH RESIGNS - To meet these innuendoes, the inquiry committee, in an in- terim report, published 25 let- ters and telegrams which Vassall had received from Mr. Galbraith while the latter was at the admiralty. Nothing in these letters, however, indicated any relationship constituting a security risk, said the commit- tee. His name cleared, at least temporarfly, Mr. Galbraith promptly. resigned from his position as Scottish Under-Sec- retary, and his resignation was just as promptly accepted by Prime Minister Macmillan. But the case is by no means over. The inquiry committee will take some time to produce a final report, and in the mean- time, the opposition members are gunning for the scalp of Lord Carrington. He, however, is staying at his post, although he announced that if the com- mittee's report indicated negli- gence in his department, he comes much brighter news which should raise the govern- stock throughout the country. Reginald Maulding, chancellor of the exchequer has announced measures to boost the rarer cut down unem- ploymen en more capital spending ox talealee: His most spectacular move was quite unexpected, He cut the purchase tax on automo- biles from 45 per cent to 25 per cents, thus at one cutting one-eighth from the price of new automobiles.

That was the purpose of Mr. Maulding's reduction. It is likely to be achieved. CAPITAL ALLOWANCES Mr. Maulding also moved to encourage capital investment by increasing the tax allowances on industrial building, plant, ma- chinery and other equipment, and a 100 per cent allowance to be written off for tax pur- poses in the first year on all capital expenditures on build- ings and plants for scientific re- search. It is his hope that this will prove a stimulus to greater capital investment by industry. CONFERENCE FAILS There is disappointment im Commonwealth" Relations circles at the failure of the con- ference on independence for British Guiana. After three weeks of discussions, the three parties represented at the con ference could not agree~on the terms for a new constitution, and for independence. The key question on which it failed was whether there should be another general election be- fore independence, and whether it should be on a proportional representation basis or not. Compromise was impossible, so the conference adjourned for further talks in British Guiana, Duncan Sandys, as the minis- ter responsible, was deeply dis- appointed, and gave warnirg that the British government might have to consider impos- . ing a settlement on its own authority to enable British Guiana to go forward to inde pendence, BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO The first carload of coal pur- chased and brought in by the Town Council was all sold and delivered. within a few hours. Dr. T. E. Kaiser launched a campaign to secure a new grandstand for Alexandra Park. The cost of the project was estimated at $15,000. The Smith Transportation, Limited, of Oshawa, took over control of the Toronto Storage: and on Company, would take full ministerial re- Limited. sponsibility -- in other words, he would resign. This affair might be a storm in a tea-cup, but the opposition made the most of it, bombard- ing the prime minister with questions every day, and de- manding a Royal Commission' type of inquiry. But Mr. Macmillan stole their thunder by going even further than the steps urged by the op- position. He shocked Parliament with the announcement of a tri- bunal of inquiry -- the most powerful investigation that can be set up under British law -- to probe security breaches: and The new McLaughlin Mater- nity Wing of the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital was opened for service, The W. J. Trick Company, of Oshawa, was awarded the con- tract for the building of a new general hospital at Orangeville. The Ontario Gazette announc- ed the incorporation of D. M. Tod's Bread, Limited, of Osh- awa. Mrs. T. Witterick was elect- ed president and Mrs. J. Hig- responsibility in the Admiralty. From the economic front gins, secretary, of Albert Street Home and School Association. G.. J. L. Whattam, F. L Mason and Dr. T. E. Kaiser, of Oshawa, were passengers in the first auto to cross the new viaduct over Highland Creek, after it was officially declared open, In the year 1884, the first Board of Health in' Oshawa was formed. Serving on the Board were, L. C. Smith, L. F. Tamblyn, Robert McLaughlin, G. A. Jones, William C. A. Mallory, G. G. Booth, William Glenney, Mayor John Stacey and William Haloran, sanitary inspector. A memorial to the war deag of Brock' Township was unveil ed at Sunderland by His Honog Harry Cockshutt, Lieutenant : Governor of Ontario. Hon. M. King, Minister of Public Works, visited Oshawa as a. guest of the Board of Trade, and made an inspection of the harbor situation. The new viaduct over High- land Creek, on Highway No. 2, was opened by Hon. F. C, Biggs, Ontario Minister of High- ways. WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Religion, School Support Old Ontario Controversy Kingston Wtig-Standard:' On the one side of this old school debate stand those who claim that only the public schools should get public money. On the other side we have the argu- ment that, since the separate schools were constitutionally established, they must get the same consideration as public schools. It is undeniably true that in Ontario there is a firm sentiment in favor of the stand that there should be a strong public school system open to all children regardless of race, re- ligion, or family background and supported by the whole community, Those who are not content with this arrangement are at liberty to found and sup- port their own schools. It must be remembered that there are also separate schools for Protestants in this province and this in itself proves that the religious bias: works both ways. There would be no problem at all if the churches kept out of the matter altogether and con- ot fined themselves to their non- secular concerns. But their flocks have. been encouraged to take sides and therefore we have this problem on our hands as we have had since. before the days of Egerton Ryerson. It would seem that if the pub- lic schools were entirely secular and not Protestant (which they undeniably are at the moment) and if all churchmen would agree that the schools should not exist to. forward their par- ticular dogmas (and if these same churchmen were not so mortally afraid that schools without some religious content somewhere in the curriculum would invariably 'corrupt young people and drive them away from dogmatic religion) we could be free of this prob- lem. All the talk about the "'un- fair industrial and commercial assessment and the inequality and inequity of the apportion- ment of educational taxes is valid only if the principle of re- ligion in the schools is accepted. Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph: Financing social welfare is. a costly proposition, and a com- plicated one, despite what argu- ments state welfare supporters may care to advance. At a meeting of the Ontario Federation of Labor where this question was discussed, one dele- gate suggested that a married man with children, pre-paying medical expense through a pri- vate plan, pays about $120 for" what he can get in Saskatche- wan for $36. What he does not mention however, is that the $36 charg- ed by the province of Saskatche- wan does not represent all the cost of that service. The Saskatchewan government read- ily admits that the rest will. be financed out of taxation. And that is where the complications set it, for the tax revenues are never clearly divided. Nor are the costs of a new service re- flected at the start of that ser- vice. Indeed, sometimes the pay- ment of such services are de- layed for years. Here, one might mention that hospitals through- out the province of still are waiting a final settlement for operations during 1961. Yet the politicians, anxious to justify their expenditures, con- ceal the impact of social wel- fare on the individual. Once the public starts paying for these services,there is no end. Frankly, we think the sum of $120 for this service is high. There are numerous private plans that can provide the same for considerably less. Yet even if one does undertake to pay this sum, that is the end of it. The $36 paid to the Sas. katchewan governmet is only the beginning. Before the final sum is totalled, it can reach to $200 or $300 per family. This will be paid in taxes one way or another, if not directly, then as an added cost of the normal purchases of the family. The fact remains that we get nothing without cost, and if we do not pay it one way, we will have to pay it another.
