ee ee Bye sharon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario F T. L, Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1963--PAGE 6 - | Secondary Industries And Economic Progress | i ; i Trade Minister McCutcheon barely touched the economic issues facing Canada when he told a Win- nipeg audience last week that Can- ada's. secondary industries must "assume a very large share of the burden" of providing economic growth in thfs country. ' * He saw Canada's basic problem as this: Canadian producers do not have a large enough share of the North American market and "our aim should be to encourage the growth of efficient secondary in- dustries which can exploit our exist- ing and potential economic advan- tages." : } ™ General economic conditions were Sncouraging, he said, but there would be problems. Canadian indus- try was meeting stiffer competition 'at home and abroad and "ot suc- cess will depend.upon our ability to develop strong, efficient industries which can compete effectively in both the domestic and export mar- kets." This is simply a restatement of an old truth: If Canada is to provide jobs for its growing labor force, there must be an expansion of markets for the products of secon- dary industry. _ What Senator McCutcheon did not say was that under present con- ditions the federal government does as much to hinder as to help the development of secondary industry -- of all industry for that matter. There are too many inequities and penalties in the tax structure. Qf course secondary industries must "assume a very large share of the burden" of providing econ- omic growth, but they should not also be expected to carry the un- necessary burden imposed on them by government. What the country is waiting to hear is not repetition of economic platitudes. The problems are known. What the country listens for is an exposition of a practical plan of at- tack on those problems. ~ Change Seen In Ghana * Once again the Cassandras who 'ate willing to call a new country 'Communist-oriented at the drop of 'a trade agreement are being con- 'founded, The Christian Science 'Monitor comments, and goes on to explain: The scene is Ghana, where almost 'exactly a year ago President Nkru- mah's government swung away from its apparent post-natal flirta- 'tion with the Communist economic bloc. At that time Ghana asked for British and Canadian cadres to train its army, and gave evidence of con- | siderable dissatisfaction with its "purchase of expensive Soviet air- craft, hinting it would like to trade them back for trawlers. This year the redressing of the balance has gone on -- in internal as well as external politics. Mr. Nkrumah's often authoritarian gov- ernment has quietly mellowed on a number of issues _ recently. Former Ghanaian trade commis- sioner to London E. G. Butterworth 'reports in the Manchester Guardian 'that moderation is apparent in at 'least four moves. The Bishop of Accra, expelled last fall for criticizing the regime, 'has not only been permitted to re- 'turn but recently has had dinner 'with Mr. Nkrumah. : Joe Appiah, a onetime friend of the president's jailed for opposition, was recently released. Messrs. Edusei and Botsio, two close advisers of Nkrumah who were apparently dismissed for their orthodox economic policies when Marxist-inclined ministers were in the ascendancy, have now returned to power, while the leftists find themselves in custody. The World Bank is reportedly being asked to help in the forma- tion of a Ghanaian national invest- ment bank. These moves help confirm what first became apparent last year. Like Egypt, Iraq, and Guinea, Ghana has swung back from its natural inclination to look East- ward after years of enforced West- ern tutelage. It has shed what look- ed like pro-Soviet neutrality and returned to a position of strict nonalignment. It will take trade from whichever side offers the best prices (and quality) without strings. Western nations should not mis- interpret this swing of the pendu- lum as the beginning of a pro- Western attachment. Nor should they mistake the new moderation of internal politics as a guarantee of regular two-party democracy. But the signs of independence and moderation are nonetheless very hopeful. Boosting US.

A report prepared for the UN and published in Geneva shows the extent of the American attraction. Publication of the full statistical report was forbidden, because the Geneva conference -- on science and technology in under-developed areas -- decided that it would not be desirable to reveal all the figures, but did not explain why. One por- tion of the report, however, states: "Over the 18 years from 1949 to 1961, 43,500 foreign-born scientists and engineers -- an average of about 3,350 a year -- have emi- grated to the United States. Of -these, about 33,000 have been en- gineers, 10,000 have been scientists and 500 have been professors and, instructors. The loss to other coun- tries and the gain to the United States is equivalent to the training provided by several large universi- ties. "The number of immigrants rose steadily from about 1,200 in 1949 to about 5,800 in 1957, and declined to about 4,000 in 1961. Immigrants have added about 3.2 per cent to the output of scientists and en- gineers from universities in the United States over the period 1949-61." : About 5,500 of those entering the US. were from Britain. la tn Cas * ; QUIXOTE EO EE TE SSA SOT OTT \~ OTTAWA REPORT REPORT FROM U.K. Friendly Relations On Bristol Project By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times BRISTOL, England -- At by moment, the relations betwe Admiralty House, the home of Prime Minister Macmillan in London, and the Elysee Palace, where General De Gaulle makes his home in Paris, are severely strained. And the effect of this might well be strained relations between British and French peo- ple, Here in Bristol, however, that is far from being the case. This old seaport town, which is scheduled to be the city in which the world's first super- scic airliner is to be built, is having its biggest French inva- sion since William the Con- queror crossed the English Channel in 1066. GOING AHEAD Although the negotiations for Britain's entry into the Common Market have broken down and have been abandoned, this has had no effect on the joint Anglo- French project to build the Con- corde airliner, which will travel at a speed of 1,500 miles per hour. There is a constant ex- change of designers, technicians and engineers between Bristol, in southwest Englend, and Paris and Toulouse in France. Bristol has a double interest in this joint project of Britain and France. Half of the long, needle-nosed delta-wing airliners will be assembled in Bristol in the vast Filton hanger, which was built originally to house the giant Brabazon airliner. Nearby, in the Bristol-Sid- deley engine works, develop- ment is going ahead with the great Olympus jet engine, in preparation for the day, around 1790, when the first Concorde airliner goes into. service. At Filton, there is close co- operation between men of the British Aircraft Corporation, under Dr. E. Russell, and the Frenchmen from Sud Aviation, in the building of this 190-seater aircraft. And at _ Bristol- Siddeley's works, the engineers are working hand-in-hand with their counterparts from SNEM- CA, the French engine-building concern. On this engine work, Anglo-French co-operation goes back 40 years to the time when the early Jupiter piston engines were being designed. From the very beginning of this new joint effort, British Aircraft Corporation and Sud Aviation have worked on the principle Of cutting out all man- ufacturing duplication. Two types of the Concorde airliner, basically the same, are being built. One is of medium range and the other long range. Whatever numbers of each are ordered, they will be assembled on a fifty-fifty basis at Bristol and Toulouse. But each individual section will be made in-only one factory. For example, if the Filton plant is made responsible for the fuse- lage, all the fuselage will be made there, If the wings are allocated to the Sud Aviation plant at Toulouse, then the wings for all the aircrafts will be built there. For assembly, the sub-sections will be taken from one factory to the other by road and sea. : Over the roads of Southern England and across France there will, in course of time, be a constam stream of "Queen Mary" type vehicles carrying parts of the airplanes. They will be handled by experts. The slightest damage to the skin of a fuselage section would prob- ably mean having it built over again. So even if Britain and France are at odds over British entry into the Common Market, the two countries are working hap- pily together on the world's most advanced airliner project, for the mutual benefit of both. YOUR HEALTH Discusses Value Of Bacon Grease By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Sir: What harm can come from using bacon grease for cooking, such as in frying eggs or potatoes? : My husband doesn't like the taste or odor of oil and I don't like vegetable shortening. I do very little frying but when I do, I use bacon grease which I keep refrigerated. ie My sister says bacon drip- pings are dangerous to health-- Mrs, J.B. Personally I don't like bacon grease and we don't use it at our house but I can't say that it. is dangerous to health. I'l give you both sides of the case, so you do as you like. Your sister might have two points in mind. First, the re- heating of fat can cause ran cidity and unpleasant flavor -- but this applies more to oils, since I presume you would use the bacon drippings only once anyway. Second, there's the matter of saturated fats as opposed to polyunsaturated, and the effect, still open to plenty of questions, on hardening of the arteries, The saturated, (mainly animal) fats seem to have more influ- BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO The Ontario County Flying Club records showed at the third annual meeting that of 38 stu- dent pilots who soloed in 1947 licences were issued to 14 with a total # f 1,973 hours to their reg Donald Gibson of Newcastle, district deputy grand master of Ontario District, paid an official visit to Temple Lodge, AF and AM, No. 64 Oshawa Rotarians observed the 43rd anniversary. of Rotary International. Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce decided an invitation be directed to Barbara Ann Scott and Dick Button to visit the city, at a meeting of the board, duced by the president, T. L. Wilson, . The Oshawa Civic and Regi- mental Band, under the direc- tion of Jack Broadbent, played in a concert sponsored by the } Whitby Branch of the Canadian Legion, As a feature of Scout - Guide Week, Clayton Keith of the 15th Scout Group and Margaret Shortt of the 6th Guides, pre- sented the Oshawa Public Li- brary, on behalf of the Scouts and Guides, with a set of Baden- Lay books on Scouting and T. K. Creighton, KC, called a public meeting, at the request of the Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce, with a view to forming. a working unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. An organ recital was well re- ceived at King Street United Church, given by Leon B. Nash, organist and choirmaster of St. George's Anglican Church, Osh- awa. James Sheedy, tenor solo- ist at All Saints' Anglican Church, Whitby, assisted. The unique distinction of be- ing mayors of two Canadian cities belonged to the McCallum brothers. Hiram was appointed to s d Robert Saunders as mayor of Toronto; while Frank N. was serving his third year as mayor of Oshawa, Incidents in the -life of Mrs. A. C. Courtice, founder of the Home and School Association, were told by Mrs. J. H. Valleau, guest speaker at the February meeting of South Simcoe Home and School Association. Rev. James N. Bedford, pres- ident of London Bible Institute, was the guest preacher at Cal- vary Baptist Church on the oc- casion of its 20th anniversary. While births in Oshawa reach- ed an all-time high of 701 in 1947, infant mortality: stood at the highest level im five years. y) ence in raising blood cholestrol levels. Aside from these points, I do not know why you shouldn't use bacon drippings. The cholesterol problem could as well be ap- plied for example, to butter and I gather that frying food in but- ter or lard remains a gastro- nomic favorite whatever the cholesterol aspect may be. Dear Dr. Molner: When I'm away from home I use an elec- tric hot plate but would prefer a small electric sterilizer for my. insulin' needle and syringe. Where can I buy it?--Mrs. F.E. From medical supply houses. Another suggestion for travel is the use of disposable syringes and needles which are inexpen- sive and also available at sup- ply houses. Dear. Dr. Molner: I have bad breath, I brush my teeth every morning and have tried every- thing. Something is wrong with my mouth. Can you tell me hem to do or where to go?-- Don't be too certain that there is something wrong with your mouth. Maybe there is; maybe there isn't. I suggest getting at the trouble by a process of elimin- ation: 1. Some foods (notably onions 'and garlic) can cause bad breath. Do you eat them regu- larly? : 2. Steady smoking can do so, to 0. 3. Bad teeth, or irregular teeth which permit particles of food to be trapped after which they decay, are a common cause, 4. Mouth or gum infections (trench mouth, for instance) can smell so strong that no mouth wash can overcome its effects. Besides, such infections should be cleared as soon as possible so they won't become chronic. (A visit to your dentist snould show whether either three or four is involved.) 5. Nose and sinus infections can cause bad breath. 6. And so can infections of the throat or lung. For five and six, a visit to a specialist would cover both areas, New Homes Bought "For Price OfTwo' By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- "One new home for the price of two!" This is the true plug for the federal government's National Housing Act; this is the singing commercial which for obvious reasons has never been sung, But it is true. Any Canadian who wants a new home can have one, by courtesy of the government, for the price of two homes. : This principle is enshrined in the three National Housing Acts passed in 1938, 1944 and 1954 by various Liberal governments. The more recent Conservative government has opened the door a little wider, but made the tickets no cheaper. The National Housing Act is- defined as "an act to promote the construction of new houses, and the improvement of housing and living conditions."' Its chief assistance to Johnny Canuck is to make available to him a mortgage on his proposed new home. This is either done by di- rect loan from a government agency, the Central Mortgage and Hobaing Corporation, or by a government guarantee backing a loan from a private lending agency such as a bank or in. sufance company. "EASY". TERMS? These mortgages now are available on terms which pro- vide for their repayment over 30 years, with interest mean- while being charged at the rate of 6% per cent per year. Thus for every $1,000 borrowed on mortgage, the borrowing home "owner" must pay $6.6982 every month for 30 years. I have in front of me an ad- vertisement for a new sub-divi- sion of these 1963 homes fi- ed by a mortgage guaran- by ihe government saying "$92 monthly buys this big roomy home." "Full price $14,- 995." Bers oot payment." Ninety-two « per month from now until February, 1993 +30 years of interest-paying liv- ing in a big roomy home, which will not look so new thirty years hence -- those payments will total $33,120. That is more than twice the price of the house --$33,120 today world buy two of those identical homes, plus a new Chevrolet to put in ene of the attached garages. SANTA'S HOME a But to hundreds of thousands of Canadians, this usurious gov- ernment benevolence seems like lighted to live | 2% per cent. Has. the co money got out of hand? Is this tight money with its accompany- high interest rate our whole economy slow down to a crawl? 3 < a gift from Santa Claus. New .- homes on these government- guaranteed mortgages were bought by 59,186 Canadian fam- ilies in 1961; 56,391 financed their new homes by some other method that year. And that to- tal was below the average for the past seven years. Conceding that Canada faces a housing problem, that many Canadian families are forced to live in sub-standard (by Cana- dian yardsticks) housing, must we continue in this era of "one home for the price oftwo"?Is 6% per cent a reasonable rate QUEEN'S PARK . Legislative Pace Claimed Very Slow By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--On the 28th day that this legislature sat I met Liberal Leader Wintermeyer on the way into the buildings. "Do you think this govern- ment really has any broad leg- islative program?" he asked. He was voicing a common complaint--that the pace of busi- ness before the House has been very slow. I checked the order book. A total of 58 government and public bills had been brought in. At the same stage of the ses. sion a year before a total of 89 bills had been presented to the House. ATTACKS WINTERMEYER That same night Premier Ro-. barts spoke to his followers at the Ontario Progressive Con- servative annual meeting. Among other things, he said this: "I have appealed to the leader of the Opposition on more than one occasion to stop politicking and get down to business. To stop using the legislature of this province as a rent-free election stump and instead give his un. divided attention to the task for which he is paid by the people of this province, namely to give mature and serious considera- tion of the legislation before the hoyise--to criticize of course--to give us the benefit of whatever wisdom he and his band of fol- lowers may possess--and facili- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Feb. 25, 1963...

But the gun that won the West did not immediately gain ac- ceptance and the company failed in 1842, During the Mexican War, 1846-48, Colt received a government or- der for 1,000 revolvers and his business grew rapidly. His invention netted him one of the outstanding fortunes of the period. 1954--Col. Gamal Nasser assumed the premiership of Egypt.

One can only assume that Mr. Robarts speech was written by someone not too familiar with the day to day activities of the house. It is not possible to do any- thing about speedy passage of important measures when the measures aren't before the house. And then, of course, it is the prime minister who controls the deliberations. He calls the order of business. It would seem we may be beading for somewhat the same ituation here as existed in Ot- tawa. A government not bringing down business and then accus- ing the opposition of "obstruc- tionism." BETTER FROST? This'PC meeting speech was Mr. Robarts' major political ef- fort to date. And from it there is at least one conclusion to be drawn. This is that the premier 'will | try and do as Premier Frost did but also try and outdo him. The speech was in the familiar Frost pattern -- and always proud and sometimes indignant recital of the achievements of the government. But there also was a detailed and lengthy at- tack on Mr. Wintermeyer and _ the. Liberals. And this departs from the Frost strategy--which was to ig- nore the Opposition. recently a Times Washington columnist, levels his indictment in the March issue of Fortune magazine. ; He cites "the 'informational directives' prescribed for the defence and state departments and says Kennedy and high subordinates indirectly manage news by "social flattery" of Washington repérters and com- mentators, and by "selective Personal patronage." Krock says that when the White House is the centre of such revelations of ineptness in the Kennedy regime as its puo- lic intrusion in the Canadian Parliamentary debate on nu clear policy, his subordinates -Make oath that the president, snou, daily represented as omniscient, knew nothing about it and is "furious." (But no- body gets fired). Chaput Sees Independence For Quebec ONTREAL (CP) -- Marcel Chaput, leader of the R li- can Party of Quebec, s: Sat. urday the Apri! 8 federal elec- tion "will probably be the last time" Quebecers will send members of Parliament to Ot- tawa. "Because the next federal government may be the one with which we will negotiate Quebec's independence," the Separatist leader said,. "we must elect members of Parlia- ment who will be sympathetic to our cause and better dis- posed to accept independence for Quebec." , "We are through about independence. We are taking action now." -- Mr. Chaput spoke in French at a press conference in his Party's new heatiquarters at Faucher Stadium, formerly De- lorimier Stadium, home of the defunct Montreal Royals of baseball's Class AAA Interna- tional League. He announced the party's first convention will be held here March 16-17 and named four senior lieutenants. They are Jean Doucet, . treasurer; Yvon Lepage, chairman of the administrative committee; Yvan Piche, chairman of the organization committee, and Guy Pinsonnault, chairman of the orientation committee.
