es | She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Britain Cuts Taxation To Give Economy Boost The British government, looking for ways to put new impetus into a vacillating economy, has taken the course proposed by President Ken- nedy to promote a speed-up of econ- omic activity in the United States. That is the course of tax reduction. The British budget presented Wednesday proposes direct tax re- liefs totalling $810 million; income tax rates will be lowered, and per- sonal tax exemptions for single people, married couples and children will be increased ; tax incentives will be given industries locating in economically - depressed areas of Britain. Those are the highlights of a variety of tax changes. The loss of revenue, along with greater government spending, will bring about an estimated govern- ment deficit of $2,100 million. The government hopes and expects that the increased economic activity may reduce that deficit before the end of the fiscal year, and eliminate it thereafter. This is, broadly, the sort of program sent to the U.S. Congress by President Kennedy, who in his budget also accepts the idea of a deficit. Could such a program of tax re- duction be offered for Canada? Does it not follow that if both Britain and the United States think that this is the way to pump new life into the economy, Canada should give it a try? In theory, yes. But there is a difference in the Cana- dian situation; we seem to have lost control of our deficits -- and that is a big difference indeed. The British deficit will be the first one since 1947. The United States has been making a habit of deficits, but by choice; the Ameri- cans have enough controllable ex- penditures to enable them, if they wished, to balance the budget and show a real rather than a "book surplus, and they could do it with- out starting a political hurricane. Canada's deficits have become chronic. There is a growing sus- picion that our political leaders -- of all stripes -- have no realistic proposals for getting the budget back under control. And until there is some control, anything more than a token tax cut seems im- probable. Ontario Power Play The coal-carrier plan described by Energy Minister Macaulay during debate of his department's estimates in the Ontario Legislature is an interesting and intricate arrange- ment. The arrangement is this: Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission has let a $28 million contract for Nova Scotia coal, a plum for the depressed Maritime industry; a lake shipping company will build one or two vessels in Ontario to transport the coal to Ontario. If two ships are built, they will represent a total expenditure of $18.5 million spread over two and a half years; they will give a total of 3,300,000 man-hours of work at the Port Weller ship- yard, and generate another 700,000 man-hours of work in feeder plants in such places as Belleville, St. Catharines, Hamilton and Toronto; together they would account for about 1,800 jobs in Ontario over the period of construction. The coal purchase represents an average of 14 per cent of Nova Scotia production each year for the next five years. Mr. Macaulay said that if the coal had been imported from the U.S. it would have cost Hydro $1,425,000| in import duties "and also we save ourselves $28 million on our external trade balance over a period of five years. It fits in nicely with Mr. Macau- lay's Trade Crusade ideas, and, as he said, "this program is also a prime example of Ontario's philos- ophy that all parts of Canada must prosper together if we are to be- come a great and prosperous nation." The coal, of course, will be used in thermal plants producing electric power. For a complete picture, however, we should be able to compare costs of coal versus other fuels -- gas, for example -- in the power plants, and also the estimated per-kilowatt cost of electric power generated in nuclear plants between the present and 1970 or 1975. Highways And Easter The Easter weekend, which usu- ally marks the opening of the Spring travelling season, is rela- tively late this year, which gives promise of good driving conditions and a record volume of motor traffic over the Thursday-Sunday period. And safety authorities once again are stressing the added hazards which will confront every motorist on the teeming highways during the Easter weekend. Statistics bear out the fact that the accident potential rises three- fold in holiday weekends, One of the main factors in such increase is the urge to travel, too far, too fast, in the allotted time. Normally cautious drivers become impatient with momentary traffic tie-ups and take chances in passing which they would avoid in normal driving. She Osharon Sines T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

The safety experts offer these hints for the enjoyment of a safe, sane Easter weekend for motorists: 1. Don't even try to travel too far away. If you must cover great dis- tances, take the train or fly. 2. Start for home early. Don't put off your return to the point where you must take unnecessary chances amongst other tardy home- ward-bound holidayers. 8. Never forget for a moment that accidents always happen to the "other fellow" -- but also remember that, to the other fellows, that's you.

Mr. Melnichuk has given the readers of the Oshawa Times the impression that he wrote this poem. I was under the im- pression that the original poem was written by Helen Steiner Rice. Of course Mr. Melnichuk has changed some of the words to suit the coming elections. IRISH Oshawa DEVOTED MEMBER Dear Sir: I have known Mike Starr for many years, I have long real- ized that he is a man of true- blue character, understanding and highly devoted to his riding and his work. It is pretty tough to listen to and read the lies and slander which he has been subjected to y bers of pposition Parties. If it were to happen to you or me, we'would charge these people with defamation of character. However, I can assure you of this fact and the records will substantiate my statements. No minister in the history of Canadian Parliament has work- ed harder both in office and on his own time towards the wel- fare and in the best interests of each and every Canadian, re- gardless of race, origin, creed or color. _ If you wish to continue hav- ing this same devotion and un- biased consideration in the fu- ture. Remember Mike Starr on April 8. Whitby STARR PRAISED Dear Sir: I must object to the personal attacks being made on Labor Minister Michael Starr by Lib- erals and Socialists. The im- Pression I get is that they are resorting to these tactics be- cause they can find no reason- able ground on which to attack Mr. Starr. The record shows that at the time the government was de- feated in the House of Com- mons, the labor force had: been Substantially increased, unem- ployment substantially reduced, labor income was at an all-time high and prices were steady, Canada had just finished a year which had seen the greatest economic growth in eight years, an economic growth which was greater than that of the United JOHN HARKNESS States, Britain, France, and the so-called miracle countries of West Germany and Japan. As labor minister, Mr, Starr must be given full credit for having a part in this happy economic situation. Most of the people decrying Mr. Starr and peddling Sociai- ist and Liberal give-away clap- trap are earning more money, and keeping more of the money they earn, than ever before. I must exclude from my gen- eral criticism the NDP candi- date, Miss Aileen Hall, who ap- pears to be avoiding personality attacks and is conducting a clean campaign. I cannot say the same for the Liberal candi- date, Mr. Cafik, who has re- ferred to Mr. Starr as "a bad boy". Boy, indeed! This from a young man who has yet to con- tribute anything to public serv- ice, about a man who ha; served his city and his country for many years with energy and thought FORMER LIBERAL Whitby REVIEWS PARTIES Dear Sir: The confusing claims, charges, counter-charges of the political parties undoubtedly leave many a voter more con- fused in this election than in any other. The fourth election in six years could feasibly lead to another fatal minority gov- ernment where in effect the bai- ance of power is held by the whims of a few. At the slight- est provocation they could pull down the government regardless of what party they may be. The Conservatives were top- Pled because of indecision, lack of leadership, inability to settle their internal affairs and finally the matter of defence policy. This was the one-man Diefen- baker government, not a Pro- gressive Conservative govern- ment. The Liberals' arrogance prior to 1957 led to their defeat by a tremendous landslide never equalled, a year later in 1958 Many will remember the state- ments of the late C. D. Howe, former Minister of Trade, who flaunted his wartime authority On the people and made one great fatal statement, "What's a million?" (dollars, that is). The NDP leader in the last election didn't even win his own seat in his home province of Saskatchewan but still main- tains a great personal appeal. His policies on the country's economic affairs however are most unorthodox. His minis- terial appeal is \n '"'emotional" BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Maj. H. E. Smith was chosen chairman of a tentative com- mittee in charge of organizing an Oshawa branch of the Kiwanis Club. The Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce membership drive closed with a total of 500 mem- bers and total receipts of $28,768, which was 130 per cent over the objective. L. V. Disney took out permits for $40,000 and $50,000 for the erection of two apartment houses on the south side of Que- bec street. : Constable Sydney Venton of the Oshawa Police Department was chosen to head the police department at Bowmanvi'le. James Lovell was re-elected president of the Oshawa District Amateur Baseball Association. Simcoe Street United Church choir, under the leadership of J. H. Renwick, presented a cantata, "The Seven Last Words." Rev, Charles R. Carscallen was named principal of the On- tario Ladies' College. Chief of Police Owen D. Friend announced four promo- tions. Constables Norman Me: Gee and Herbert Flintoff were made detective sergeants and Constables Edward Stauffer and Matthew Bowman became ser- geants. Three hundred General Motors trimmers' went on strike because of a cut in wages, The OCVI basketball team de- feated Runnymede Collegiate of Toronto to take the Toronto Dis- trict Basketball League title. Members of the loca! squad were Young, Gummow, Hubbell, Barnum, Baird, Kohen, Daniels, Crothers, Davidson and Smith. H, W, Cooper, manager of the Oshawa Railway, announced that the sum of $274,000 had been allowed for improvements which would include new car -barns at the north end of the city. »free education to all. TLANTIC one which may move the hearts of God-fearing people afraid of nuclear arms but emotion does not defend our borders. In Quebec, Social Credit have made gains and as long as the cup runneth over they'll take the best offer. Loyalty is often a matter of who puts the most on the election plate. The Communist Party shou'd be legally outlawed, as it is not a legitimate political party but a front of a foreign power in- tent on overthrowing the Gov- ernment. Members. should be forced to register as agents of a foreign power as they do with the FBI and in other countries. The Conservatives claim that everything is rosy. They have been the saviours of our coun- try and its defenders against our big neighbor from the South as if it were a great dragon ready to devour us at any mo: ment. The arena is full of prom- ises, and more promises, that at this stage come as easily as an- other breath. Promises of give- aways, increased pensions, free medical, full employment; and é Ottawa still has no "money tree", all this has to be paid for by the taxpayer. Each federal election costs the people (not including the candidates) - approximately 12 million dollars. In concluding, there is really not a great deal of difference between the Liberals, Conserva- tives and NDP parties. One thing is sure, however, for the good of the country we must have a Majority Government or failing that, some sort of work- able coalition that will give the people at home and abroad con- fidence in this country and its leaders. After long consideration I feel the country can best be served by a majority Liberal Government in Ottawa with a strong and potential opposition. Thus, Conservative Ontario may get more for its people by fight- ing for its share from the Lib- eral treasury in Ottawa as com- pared with "'big brother's hand- out", Time is running out, the nation has many an urgent problem. EX-CONSERVATIVE Oshawa HISTORY TODAY IN By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 5, 1963 . . . Britain's wartime leader Winston Churchill retired as prime minister eight years ago today--in 1955--and was knighted by the Queen. Sir Winston was succeeded by Sir Anthony Eden. Then 80 years old, Churchill did not retire from politics but con- tested his constituency of Woodford in the general election the following month and held his seat, Churchill first became prime minis- ter in 1940, leading the na- tion in a coalition govern- ment but his Conservative party was defeated in 1945. In October, 1951, Churchill again led the Conservatives to power. 1818 -- Jose San Martin drove the Spaniards from Chile. 1917 -- British Columbia granted women the fran- chise, OTTAWA REPORT Sense Of Purpose Could Be Missing By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- We have been living the headlines of history. Seldom have three months wit- nessed such an accumulation of events and trends which seem destined for enduring fame. That is how the year 1963 to date is summed up by the wise . and experienced Ottawans who enjoy a grandstand view from their behind-the-scenes positions on and around Parliament Hill, The political allegiance of Canadians, and the purpose of their political parties, are in a state of flux; our very political system and even Confederation itself both stand on foundations' which are being shaken by the surging tide of events. But this is not entirely a Canadian phenomenon; Britain, the United States, France and Ger- many have their serious prob- lems too, Other countries are suffering from unused produc- tive capacity, poverty in the midst of plenty, a weakening of the ethos of the people, a lack of respect for law and custom among adolescents, empty churches. The Western world appears to be desperately needing a new polarisation, a redefined sense of purpose, even young new leaders to replace the anachron- isms from the First World War. This is how older voices speak here today. This is how experience seeks to comfort those who' see a uniquely Canadian problem in this "Election of Mud"--the mud of the spring break-up underfoot, the mud of the/pol- itical break-up in speechés so barren of thought, so prolific PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM People are as dumb as they were in Noah's day; many of them don't have sense enough to prepare for a rainy spell. No doubt the funniest por- trayals on television are court trials -- funniest, that is, to lawyers, The cost of making history also has skyrocketed. The world over, riots by col- lege students are becoming more frequent. It is la tabl that so many members of the rising generation are uprising. DON'T LIKE BREAD NEW DELHI (AP)--A group of American farmers trying to get Asians to eat bread for breakfast report slow progress. Wayne Gentry of Spokane, Wash., director of the cam- paign, says the program is not designed to replace rice in the Asian diet but to add wheat's nutritive value. QUEEN'S PARK of trivialities, so unprecedent- edly tragic im the animosity ich will endure after. "SENTINEL" ON GUARD Early in March, the Wood- stock Sentinel Review cautioned with its editorial question: "When do the leaders tackle the real issues facing Canada?" Time is Peeing, Sec, it warned, "There have n few state- ments that reflect the deep and imaginative and constructive thinking that should. be demon- strated by those seeking to lead the political destinies of this country through the difficult days ahead." : But the ominous events have been in part offset by the wel- come and the whimsical. That bogus coin of so many recent elections, the lavish promise, the. bribing of the elector with his own money, has been hap- pily scarcer. And how vividly one remem- bers, mot many years ago, when the courageous single heckler was shushed with angry cries of: "Go hire your own hall." This year more than one pol- itician has hardly been heard above the roar of the mob in the hall which he has hired. YOUR HEALTH PE SRE LEAR OI FEEDS MEE The misiea size of crowds at election rallies has again been carefully estimated and measured--but the most humor- ous note was struck by that humourless official who organ- ized: the "Instant Crowd" rid- Besa Grate le pa rain St. Lawrence regi active supporters who jumped out of the carriages and ran each station to greet the prime minister as he descended from his coach. If those railroad. platforms were filled with a rrowed crowd, other crowds were filled by speakers with borrowed plat- forms. "The party would increase purchasing power to remedy the present situation in which factories are producing more than can be sold by the amount of $2,500,000,000 a year in Can- ada,"' proclaimed one speaker --not.a Social Crediter but none other than NDP Leader Tommy Douglas, who went on to outline "ten methods of increasing the flow of money." Douglas Fisher, NDP's news- worthy big frame from Port Arthur, suggests that personal- ities are more important than parties in our politics now. But how many. of Canada's 3,204 millionaires, mostly self-made, how many Canadians listed in "The Directory of Directors" or honored by inclusion in "The Canadian Who's Who" are can- didates? Fisher's top personal- ities still prefer Finance Alley, the college campus or the court of law to Parliament Hill, Washing Removes Worry Of Poison By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: It's almost impossible these days to buy any vegetable or fruit that has not been sprayed with a chem- ical bug killer. Don't you feel that continued use of insecticides and pesti- cides will harm our food supply and endanger our health? I have heard that a lot of people are dying from this kind of thing already.--Mrs, R. No, I don't' think they will "harm our food supply and endanger our health." Quite the opposite. Nor is there any basis for wild stories that "people are dying from this kind of thing already." Naturally these 'chemicals must be used properly, and we should wash the produce before we eat it. (Careful distributors are conscientious about washing before the products ever reach the grocery stores.) Naturally people using these chemicals for farms, gardens and or- chards must handle them with due caution. Believe me, the problem hasn't been overlooked. lt has been studied very carefully. I have never seen or heard Manpower Report Reflects Thought By DON 0'HEARN TORONTO--The report of the select committee on manpower training is an exceptionally good one. : This is a question that is as broad and complex as it is important today. The weakness with many sel- ect committees is that on mat- ters with such scope they really do not get into the meat of the matter. In this particular case one might have thought that an independent committee of ex- perts might have been a better choice. But this has proven to be not the case. The committee did an admirable job. BIG CHANGE One of the very pertinent observations in it is that we may have to look on worker- training in the future as educa- tion "from the cradle to the grave.' That many workers will never be able to completely stop training. Technological advances have been going ahead so quickly that the old concept that a man could do the one job for life is disappearing. : : He may have to change his calling or his skill in times to come.. BOLD THOUGHT : : The committee used imagina- tion. For instance it suggested "youth camps" for training those who have left secondary schools without much immedi- ate hope of getting a job. This is unorthodox, but it makes sense. The committee also was not tied down by ordinary inhibi- tions. For instance it proposed that County , company training. interested porties.

It took the point that many engineers at present are work- ing as technicians, And perhaps we should train more technic- ians and hold down on the engineers. GOOD CONTRIBUTION The committee, despite its majority of government mem- bers, was also refreshingly frank anc independent. It didn't hesitate to criticize the Robarts plan--though gen- erally giving it praise. And it also took department of education officials to task. The committee covers so much ground it is impossible to even give a really good sampling of it here. But it should make a valu- able contribution. Hon. John Simmonett, the chairman, mer- its a good hand. of a single death from proper use of any agricultural product. Carelessness is another mat- ter. People are poisoned by not being careful, just as they con- stantly are being poisoned by misuse of cleaning compounds, household chemicals, and even aspirin. Last year, 89 deaths were caused by insecticides and pest- icides improperly used in the United States. In the same time, 150 were killed by improper use of ordin- ary aspirin. Federal and other health au- thorities test all such materials and go to great pains to see that people are informed of the right way to handle them. These chemicals simply are not a danger to our health. And our food supply? It fs vastly. more abundant because we can control insects and pests. For the simplest sort of example, some people have an apple tree in the back yard, and wonder why the fruit is wormy or stunted. An orchard- man would tell th why fast enough: 'When. did you spray it last?" ¥ Since in different localities, food may come from many sources, the neighbor's next- door garden, or from a huck ster, just keep the one safety rule in mind: Wash everything. Then stop worrying. Dear Dr. Molner: I am hav- ing a terrible time with deter- gent burns on my hands. I have tried many salves, but with no success.--N.M. You evidently are one of the people who are overly sensitive and your skin erupts. Different brands may be less annoying. If not, try ordinary soap. Or, perhaps the soundest answer in your case is to wear gloves whenever using detergents. Some stores have them with a cotton lining. Or get a loose pair of rubber gloves and wear plain cotton gloves underneath so that your hands won't sweat and the rubber won't irritate.
