Sa cacagnbaareeN awe | She Oshawa Zines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Harsh Realities Face New Government Chief Mr. Douglas, leader of the New Democratic party, has hinted that the price of his support of a Pearson government would be Liberal adop- tion of a number of his pet pro- jects, most of them involving in- creased federal spending without providing the necessary health stimulation to employment. Liberal leader Pearson said several times during the election campaign that federal financial and economic affairs had to be brought under control before any substantial ex- pansion of the welfare program could be undertaken. It will be interesting to see how the promises and hints work out -- more than interesting, indeed, be- cause unless the harsh realities of economics are faced, Canada could face a thin time in the years ahead, no matter which party holds office. Between 1957 and 1962 three mil- lion people were added to Canada's population; but in the same time manufacturing jobs increased by 30,000. In 1962, Canada had a highly prosperous and productive year; the gross national product, value of exports, total employment -- all were at record highs. But capital investment was down, and while more people were at work than ever before, unemployement ranged well above five per cent. Part of the explanation can be found in this little statistic: The share of manufacturing profits left for re- investment in 1957 averaged 3.5 cents per dollar of sales, while in 1962 it was 2.2 cents. Manufacturer Carl. Pollock re- cently had this to say: "Corporate investment in the tools of increased efficiency and in new jobs was never more vital to Canada -- or initially more costly to industry -- than it is today ... (Profits) are certainly far from being enough to both pay the investor a fair return and leave industry with sufficient reserves on which to prosper' and grow." Other countries with strong economies have incentive programs. But then, in those countries "profit" isn't a dirty word. Sorrow Precedes Joy BY THE REV. C. R. NELSON Bible Club Movement The events that had been happen- ing were most distressing. The dis- ciples had been told many times that their Master would leave them but they did not grasp the thought. Now their Leader had been taken and brought before Pilate, the Roman governor. After cruel mock- ing and scourgings, He was con- demned and led through the streets _of the city to the hill called Calvary. 'There He was crucified between two thieves. If they had come closer to the cross they would have heard Him say to the ones who were putting Him on the cross, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Many other wonderful words were spoken by the suffering Christ. He was suffering physically and spiritually. He had committed no sin but now He was the sin-bearer for the world. His Father's face was turned from Him as darkness covered the earth to hide the excruciating suffering of the Son of God. The words "It is finished" and "Father, into Thy hands I commended My spirit" were spoken and Jesus died. Loving hands removed His body from the cross and laid it in a bor- rowed tomb. The plans and hopes of Christ's disciples seemed to be smashed. Christ was dead. Then early on the morning of the first day of the week they hear that the vrave, sealec hv the Roman seal, was open and empty! Their Friend was no longer dead but was risen as their Saviour! Oh the glorious news! As the disciples were with Jesus and talked with the risen Christ, how their hearts thrilled at the opportunity that was theirs to serve a living resurrected Christ. This thrill can also be ours, first to know Him as our Saviour and then to serve the One we love, knowing that we love Him because He first loved us. Early Hazard Of Fire At this time last year in several resort areas there were plagues of fires. During the Easter weekend in Pembroke district, for example, forest rangers fought ten fires in three days, most of them in and around settled and _ recreational areas. Lands and Forests officials reported : "These outbreaks, in most cases, were caused by people visiting their camps or cottages or by settlers dis- posing of brush and debris. A slight shift in wind direction and velocity, an inattentive movement, was the formula for producing a conflagra- tion threatening homes, cottages and outbuildings as well as sur- rounding forests." The forest fire season extends from April 1 to October 31, and can be extended by the government. During the fire season, special safety regulations are in force She Oshawa Simes 1. L.

All persons within the Fire District wishing to burn grass, brush or other debris outside cities or towns must first obtain a fire permit from a forest ranger of the local fire warden. The Department of Lands and Forests has a set of fire prevention rules to be followed by summer operators in forested areas. They might well be followed by the public in general -- they are simply a statement of common sense. They require, for example, that camp fires be properly extinguished, that fires not be left unattended, that workmen sit down to smoke instead of walking about with a lighted cigarette to be carelessly cast aside, that fires be lit only in safe places, that chimneys be equipped with ap- proved spark arrestors, and sv on. About 80 per cent of all forest fires reported last year were man- caused. Fortunately, the area burn- ed was the third lowest on record-- but that record can be much im- proved.

There are 89,270 taxpayers in this group, and of these many fall into the normal status as QUEEN'S PARK a family man with a wife and two chilcros. To this typical Canadian tax- payer, a late March date was a red letter day which passed unnoticed. But its great signifi- cance was that on that day he ceased to work for government, and began to work through un- June Date Favored For Ontario Vote By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Speculation here now favors a June date for the Ontario election. It was about even betting be- tween June or the fall, before the federal election. The major factor was consid- ered to be whether the Conserv- atives took a-severe trouncing in the province. This they did not, though they lost a few seats. And all other considerations seem to favor sending the ballot boxes out in June. IT'S READY Among these are the fact that the government has a good pro- gram ready. BY-GONE DAYS -- 40 YEARS AGO J. V. Hill was elected presi- dent of the Oshawa Lawn Bowl- ing Club to succeed A. N. Ellis. At its first annual meeting, the Oshawa Athletic Association with W. E. Clarke as president, made plans to lay out several baseball diamonds in the town. The town council received 135 applications for the position of sanitary inspector to fill the va- cancy created by the resigna- tion of F. C. Palmer. Plans were launched at a meeting, chaired by C. M. Anderson, to organize a boys' Municipal Council in Oshawa under the auspices of the YMCA and Rotary Club. Figures obtained from the Town Engineer showed Oshawa had 33 miles of water mains and 10% miles of paved streets. Ap- proximately 80 miles of side- walks were laid within the town limits. Steps were taken to organ- ize a Retail Merchants Associa- tion in Oshawa. Ex-councillor 0. R. Hall put forth a plan for a rest room and other improvements at the Osh- awa market. At the Oshawa Rotary Club meeting President A. T, Hicks called upon Major Hind to give an account of the battle of Vimy Ridge which took place in April, The Oshawa Board of Educa- tion asked the council for the south block of the old Pediar property on Simcoe street south for educational and park purposes. The Oshawa Horticultural Society suspended operations for a year. L. O. Clifford, MP, chairman of the Horticultural Committee of the Toronto Na- tional Exhibition, announced a Floral Day would be held at the Exhibition for the first time. By the end of the session it will have come up with portable pensions, medicare, colored margarine and a variety of things. It will be ready to charge with its banners flying and any de- lay would only mean wear and tear. Then it has its iron men and the other parties don't. The provincial PCs collected the money for their election some time ago--and they didn't let amy hot, hungry federal hands get at it. The Liberals and NDP gave their all to the national election. PCs ORGANIZED Another '-~ar is organiza- tion. The PCs have different fed- eral and provincial organiza- tions. The opposition parties don't-- and their machinery is run- down from the federal vote. They are not prepared for an election, and the more time they are given the better pre- pared they will be. And still another point is that there are four byelections due in the province. If a general election were put off until fall, they almost cer- tainly would have to be called-- the government would look very bad if it ducked them. In view of the bad reputation of the Robaris government in byelections to date any further substantial losses could be dis- astrous, They could set a de- featist stamp on the party. And byelections are tricky things. Parties can concentrate cn them witn a force not possi- ble in general elections. And in this case all four seats were held by the government and ail ate now considered shaky. This reason alone should be enough to decide government leaders to go to the country this spring. til year's end for himself and his family. It had taken him from Jan. 1 until that late March date to earn what he will pay in taxes to the federal government, to his provincial government, and to his municipal government during 1963. The Dominion Bureau of Statistics carries out periodical surveys to ascertain just how we spend our money, From such a survey, we can deduce that this average payer of in- come tax will spend more than one-quarter of his earnings on feeding himself amd his wife and two children; he will spend more than one-quarter also on housing them. ; MOST COSTLY ITEMS The actual percentage spend- ing is 27.5 on food and 27.3 on housing, this latter including 18.8 on the bare home, 4.8 on furnishing and equipping it, and 3.7 on lighting and heating. The next highest cost is 9.8 per cent of his total income on transportation, of which 7.8 goes om his automobile, prob- ably acquired from a used car lot, and 2.0 is taken up by "other transportation." Then this Mr. Average Can- uck spends 4.8 per cent of his earnings on alcoholic drinks and tobacco, slightly exceeding the 4.6 per cent he spends on med- teal care for his whole family. Recreation costs a trivial 2.8 per cent, reading only 0.6 per cent and education 0.3 per cent. Translating these expendi- tures into terms of dollars for this average income-tax payer with an income of slightly over $4,250, and assessing the hidden taxes included in his payments, we find that these concealed levies exceed the direct taxes which he pays. On $1,170 worth of food, he Pays about $36 in taxes; on $358 worth of clothing, he pays an estimated $62 in taxes; on $104 for cigarettes and tobacco, he pays $37 in hidden taxes, while on $42 worth of hard liquor he pays no less than $34 in various taxes to obtain a commodity worth only $8. His $55 spent on beer contains a proportionately. lower $24 in hidden taxes. INCOME TAX LOW His used car, costing perhaps $1,000, contains an estimated $55 in taxes, but it costs him $17 in licences each year, plus $71 in taxes hidden in the $189 for gasoline. His personal income tax to- tals. only $187, which is less than one-quarter of his total tax payments, but this and his property tax -- if he owns his own home -- are his only two direct "bites'" by the taxpayer, Add up these major items, plus the taxes included on lesser expenditures, and we find that this Mr. Average Income- tax Payer was finally able to clear off his liabilities to gov- ernment for this year by a date in mid-March, after working through between 11 and 12 weeks for the tax collectors, DRUG STORES OPEN THIS SUNDAY 12:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The Labor party Propaganda machine has ground out a new social secur- ity policy for the party as part of its platform for the next general election, 'Better than the Beveridge Plan" -is how Harold Wilson, leader of the Labor party describes it. But in one respect it does not meas- ure up to the plan by Lord Beveridge on which Britain's social security system is based. Lord Beveridge, in his plan, spelled out exactly where the money would come from: to pay for it. The Labor party's plan "enumerates a list of increased and new benefits which it prom- ises to enact if elected to power. But it gives only a very sketchy idea of how it is pro posed to finance its schemes. For instance, among the bene- fits proposed are half-pay on retirement and wage - related benefits for sickness and un- employment. All it says about financing this is that people with above average earnings will pay more than at present, those with below-average earn- ings would pay less, while all the employers would pay more And the National Pension Fund to be built up from these con- tributions would be controlled, not by the government, but by trustees it will appoint. PIE IN THE SKY The Labor party policy has other pie-in-the-sky elements. It proposes increased family al- lowances, higher widows' pen- sions and easier conditions for entitlement to them and aboli- tion of the earnings' rule for widows on pension, Coupled with the retirement pension will be an income guarantee by YOUR HEALTH which no person's income will fall below a specified level. How the level will be ar- rived at, and whether it will involve a return of the distaste- ful means test, is not disclosed. Presumably, everyone will be guaranteed so much of an.in- come that the need for a Nation- al Assistance supplement will disappear. The whole thing ends with this ambiguous statement: "This plan can be achieved without: any increase in con- tributions paid by the average wage-earner, provided the bur- den is fairly shared by the em- ployer, the employee and the state." When is this scheme going to be effective? The policy state- ment says it will be in full operation in 10 years time. That is taking for granted that there will be a Labor govern- ment in power in Britain for that length of time. ISSUES SIMILAR There is one point of similar- ity between the recent election campaign in Canada and the next election in Birtain, One of the big issues on which it will be fought is the question of whether Britain should or should not have its own inde- pendent nuclear deterrent. Prime Minister Macmillan, speaking at a meeting of his own constituents at Bromiey in Kent, made it clear that he in- tends this to be the main issue in the election. The issue is a fairly clear-cut one. The Con- servatives are determined that Britain should maintain its own nuclear weapons, under its own control. The Labor and Liberal parties are against Britain re- taining an independent nuclear force. This is an issue on which Mr. Macmillan could count on strong public support. In the Has Heart Murmur, Needs Extraction By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I have a heart murmur. Would it be safe to have some teeth pulled? --MRS., R. W. It is fair to surmise that you have been told by your doctor whether your heart murmur is one of the harmless types, or whether it indicates some fault in the organ. Where a murmur is of such significance that the patient has been warned, the warning usu- ally (not always, of course) im- plies that a valve has been damaged, and the most com- mon cause of this is rheumatic fever. A valve so damaged is vul- merable to any further attack of the germ which causes rheu- matic fever, a variety of the streptococcus. Since extraction of a tooth can be accompanied by the release of germs into the blood stream (an infected tooth socket means the presence of germs) it is wise to take some HISTORY TODAY IN By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 13, 1963... Eight persons died and damage was estimated at $10,000,000 14 years ago to- day--in 1949--when the Pa- cific northwest was shaken by its most destructive re- corded earthquake. Many were injured in the shock which embraced 150,000 square miles of Washington, en and British Colum- 1a. 1366--Richard I of Eng- land was born. 1957--A__ private hospi'ai and home for the aged in Montreal was destroyed by fire, killing 16 persons. precautions to protect the dam- aged heart valve against fur- ther harm. Fortunately this can readily be done, One of the sulfa or penicillin drugs should be taken before the extraction and for two or three days afterward to Suppress such germs and thus protect the heart. (If such an_ infection. does reach the heart, it is known as subacute bacterial endocard- itis.) _ Except for the necessity of being careful in that regard, I see no other reason why a heart murmur should interfere with any necessary extractions, Dear D. Molne: Do you have a remedy for quitting smoking without telling me not to smoke? I've tried twice and it just didn't work. Will power is a virtue I don't happen to have.--MRS. W. No, I don't know of any way to give up smoking without giving up smoking. Nor do I have any happy little. pills that will take the place of will power. You can have will power if you want it enough to develop it. You're old enough to stop thinking in terms of fairy tales and get back into the world of realities. ' latest public opinion poll on the subject, 54 per cent were in favor of an independent British nuclear deterrent and only 29 per cent in favor of abandoning it completely. ' SEES IT DISASTROUS "It would be disastrous," said Mr. Macmillan, "to adopt the - course advocated by both the Socialist and Liberal parties of pe coe our British nuciesar deterrent, There is no moral + yd yet gy of or Lo urope 80 on American deterrent. We have obligations and interests 5 ° ing far beyond Europe, are great issues at home and abroad, and on them we shall fight the next election." The rub is that the Labor and Liberal parties may have other ideas of what shall be the major issues in the election, and may pursue them to.the exclu- sion of the issue on which Mr. Macmillan would like to concen. trate public attention, RELIEF FOR PEERS Legislation to allow peers to renounce their titles in order to stand as candidates for the House of Commons will be pass- ed in time to be effective in the next election. The government has promised to have it brought before parliament at the pres- ent session of parliament, and since this course is si by the great majority in all three parties, it should have an easy passage through parlia- ment, The details will have to- be worked out, but it is certain that one result of the legisia- tion will be to allow Lord Stans- gate to revert legally to his for- mer status as Anthony Wedg- wood Benn and contest his for- mer seat in the Commons. There is some doubt as to whether any other peers will take advantage of this privilege, Lord Hailsham has a big ques- tion-mark opposite his name, because a large body of Con- servatives would welcome his renunciation of his title, so that he could become eligible to re- turn to the House of Commons probably as Mr. Macmillan's successor ds party leader and, possibly, prime minister. REBUKE TO MINISTER The National Union of Teach- ers has administered a stinging rebuke to Sir Edward Boyle, minister of education. He had been invited to address the Easter conference of the union at Margate. That was before he imposed a new wage scaie of his own making on the teaching profession. Now he has re- wudenieg 'he nna a him to attend and speak at the conference. The letter said that the mood of the membership was such "that we cannot hon- estly say you would be wholly welcome." It added: "As you are aware, the union is completely opposed to your decision, to reject the salary agreement negotiated in the Burnham Committee and to impose your own scale. We are resolved to oppose your will and your proposals with all the vigor we can command. We feel we cannot, in the changed cir- cumstances, sincerely act to- wards you as a host should to- wards a guest."
