She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, APRIL 23, 1963 -- PAGE 6 More Exports Solution To Payments Problem Some Canadians, particularly those who think Canada must sooner or later be absorbed by the United States, think that there is no solution to our chronic interna- tional payments problem. Looking over the record of past years, there is'some superficial reason for think- ing so. Up to 1958 the inward movements of foreign capital came close to or exceeded Canada's current account deficit and tended to obscure the fact that we were, in fact, living beyond our means; we were keep- ing ourselves on the right side of the ledger only by loans and sales of assets. Then the inflow began to decrease and in the latter part of 1960 it fell off drastically, comple- tely disappearing during the un- settled early months of 1962. But then it reappeared very strongly later in 1962 and early this year. One of the results of the inflow has been the inevitable increase in service charges. The current Bank of Nova Scotia review notes that "interest payments, transfers of dividends and profits, and the var- ious other outlays related to the operation of subsidiary organiza- tions have all been rising persis- tently. After allowance for Cana- dian receipts, net outward payments of interest and dividends had by 1962 increased to $570 millions, while the net payments for such business services as engineering and other professional fees, royalties, licensing payments and so on had grown to almost $250 million." This would seem to prove the case for those who think there is no solu- tion to the payments problem. But the bank review points to some other developments. In the past two years the deficit on tourist transactions has been reduced by over $150 mil- lion, and further progress is pos- sible. A similar marked improve- ment has been achieved in the ba- lance of merchandise trade, with export surpluses of $173 million in 1961 and $155 million in 1962. The service payments will con- tinue to be a heavy burden. But the balance can, and must, be adjusted by the expansion of export trade. The expansion can be achieved through the co-operation of govern- ment, industry and labor. Indians Resurgence On March 29 the then Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, the Hon. Richard Bell, issued a state- ment in his capacity of superinten- dent- general of Indian affairs. It had strong political overtones, ap- parently aiming at Indian support just before the election ("Canada owes much to her Indian popula- tion... Today, by their talents and earnest efforts they are making an important contribution to Canada's economic and social growth."). "If it was in truth a pitch for the Indian vote, it probably did not suc- eéed simply because Indians still séem to be suspicious of the federal vote, Clifford White, for example, was the only one of 347 eligible Mohawks on Cornwall Island to cast his vote in the federal election, and was threatened with expulsion from the tribe for having done so. Many, perhaps most, Indians do not vote for two main reasons: They consider themselves a nation, equal by treaty; they suspect that by voting they will destroy their treaty rights. It is a pity they do not see that they can take their proper place in the Canadian nation only by taking part in elections. They have been badly treated in the past, and in certain instances may still be badly treated. But gov- ernment programs recently have been aimed at giving the Indian a better opportunity to fit into the Canadian community, with all the benefits that community can bestow but without any loss of ancient rights. Mr. Bell's press release had this significant fact in it: "Next month (April) an Indian child, not yet born, will represent a significant milestone in the resurgence of Cana- dian Indians. Statistically the birth of this child will bring Canada's Indian population to the 200,000 mark. According to expert estimates, this was the number of Indians who inhabited Canada when the Euro- peans first landed." In the past 10 years the Indian growth rate has been proportion- ately greater than that of any other ethnic group in: Canada. It has grown largely because of improved welfare services, better housing and health programs provided by the federal government. After long neg- lect, something is now being done for the Indians. But the Indians themselves must be prepared to con- tribute something to the general well-being. Re-Examination Of Aid Capital investment moving from industrially advanced to less deve- loped nations is now running in excess of $8 billion. A little more than 10 years ago it was just a third of that amount. Yet accord- ing to a UN report, the gap be- tween the "haves" and "have-nots" may be widening rather than nar- rowing. An estimated 70 per cent of the world's three billion people remain so far behind the other 30 per cent in production and living standards that they live in a differ- ent economic world.

Industrial areas tend to trade more and more among themselves, with the result that Many underdeveloped countries often lose vital market outlets. Rapidly expanding populations com- plicate the development problems of poor nations, A student of underdeveloped economies, Dr. John B. Condliffe, senior economist at the Stanford Research Institute, has called for a re-examination of aid principles and mechanisms. Among other things, he urges more longer term loans at low interest rates, or outright grants, so that repayment obliga- tions do not press too heavily on the recipient's financial structure. He believes 'there would be great gains in understanding and mutual con- fidence" if aid negotiations could be conducted within the framework of regional consultation -- patterned, possibly, after the Colombo plan. 'Above all, the development of the poorer countries should be view- ed as an integrated part of the re- organization of world trade," the ecoomist says. "The less developed must accept their need for technical guidance and budgetiny controls as well as aid; the more developed must accept their responsibility to provide both aid and guidance, not as an impersonal obligation but in a mutual relationship." REPORT FROM U.K. Plans To Relieve Hospital Pressure. By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Enoch Powell, minister of health, is about to launch a series of schemes which he hopes will relieve the pressure on the over-burden- ed hospijtal accommodstion throughout the country. He is initiating long-term plans, YOUR HEALTH spread over the next 10 years, to enable more people to be treated and cared for at home, instead of being patients in hos- pital. Thus, while a great deal more money will be spent under the ew plans care-at-home, less will have to be spent on the more costly hospital treat- ment. Whai Mr. Powell is planning is a drive to expand the health Much To Be Found About Antibodies By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr, Moiner: My three- year-old son was sick con- stantly, had high fevers. and respiratory infections, until he was given gamma globulin in- jections. The treatments have been stopped, but he has a cold now and I am afraid his resistance is getting low. What causes the gamma globulin level to be re- duced?--MRS, E. S. Our blood has or acquires certain particles which right disease germs. That's how vac- cination works, The vaccine is a modified (sometimes killed) germ which, however, has the ability to instigate the growth in the blood of the particles which can combat that particu- lar type. These protective particles, or antibodies, concentrate in a por- tion of the blood serum (the liquid part of the blood) which we call gamma globulin. This much we know. Some of the further explanations of the whole process remain unknown, but are being studied inten- sively. Obviously many of us have acquired immunity to various diseases. This immunity is lodged in the blood -- in the gamma globulin. Therefore if, when a person has been exposed to some dis- ease, we inject gamma globulin (either from a person already known to have acquired immun- ity to that disease, or from a group of people, at least some of whom have such immunity) we give the recipient the tem- Porary benefit of this ability to. combat germs, or infections. This has been done with HISTORY TODAY IN By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 23, 1963 . . . William Shakespeare was born at Stratford-on-Avon 399 years ago today -- in 1564--and died on this day 52 years later, in 1616. The bard was the third child and first son of Jotn Shakes- peare, a leather dresser and whittawer -- a worker who cured and whitened skins to make gloves. Mystery still surrounds much of Shakespeare's life and noth- ing is known about his youth but his plays. and poems have made him im- mortal. 1827--Guelph, Ont., founded by John Galt. 1888 -- Governor-General Georges Vanier was born. was WAS COPY BOY Ray Bloch, musical director of the Ed Sullivan show, worked in his teens as an office boy for a New York newspaper. polio; is being done with meas- les and infectious hepatitis. It helps -- temporarily. The in- jected gamma globulin does not remain indefinitely. I don't know why your own little goy is deficient in this res- pect. Whether he lacks sufficient gamma globulin, or merely has developed sufficient antibody particles within the gamma globulin, becomes too technical a problem. He received temporary sup- port in his defences against colds and such infections. It may be that, with such help, he has since been able to establish his own defences which will be more long-lasting. His defences will be built only as he is exposed to the various germs which exist, and he develops antibodies to fight them. We cannot always tell why some people can develop these defences faster than others. But only a fairly short numer of years ago we wouldn't have known that gamma globulin in- jections would help A complete answer is not yet possible. But you and your son are profiting by one phasc of our constantly increasing health knowledge, and welfare services to help young mothers and old people, and he is almost ready to launch it, although he does not expect to perform miracles overnight. HOME HELPS Here are some of the things which Mr, Powell has in mind under his new plans: For the family -- More health visitors will be recruited to 'pre- vent illness and accidents by kindly advice, This will save doctors much time by keepig a watchful eye on patients with special problems. For young mothers -- Less time will be spent in hospital after the baby has arrived. More part-time midwives and more home-helps will be re- cruited to help the young moth- ers in their homes after they have been discharged from the hospital. : For the elderly -- What Mr. Powell describes as a_ great "rescue" service will be aimed at helping them to remain inde- pendent in their own homes as long as possible. Provision will be made for an extension of the meals - on - wheels services for old people. Those using it will not be expected to pay more than they can afford. MORE HOSTELS : The scheme also envisages the provision of more residen- tial homes for those who cannot manage on their own. And more "short - stay" hostels will be provided for old people living with friends and relatives who need short-term accommoda- tion in an emergency. More home-helps will be put into service to do the washing, cooking and shopping for old people living alone. Special "night watches" will be set up to care for those who are seri- ously ill. Chiropody services will be extended. A network of clubs will be established to counteract loneli- ness. More work centres will be provided to enable old peo- ple to earn small sums of money. There will also be more holiday schemes for pensioners, and more transport to take them to churches, clubs and the cinema. As has been indicated, Mr. Powell does not expect to ac- complish all of this overnight. He is launching it on the basis of a 10-year plan, and if it suc- ceeds, the lot of elderly people will be made a great deal more comfortable and happier than it is now. BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO John W. Frost of Oshawa, formerly of Belleville, celebra- ted his 100th birthday. He served 62 years with the Grand Trunk and CNR between Belle- ville and Toronto. Twenty-eight new Canadians of Ukrainian birth received di- plomas after completing Eng- lish classes here. The course was arranged by the Com- munity Welfare Council of On- tario and taught by Mrs. .A. L. W. Smith. Charles M. Mundy, president of the Times - Gazette, died in his 70th year, He was prominent in Boy Scout and sporting acti- vities and active in community enterprises. George W. Finley was named president of the Oshawa Skat- ing Club for the 1943-44 season, succeeding the resigning presi- dent, Harry Donald. Corp. J. A. Glover, instructor of the Oshawa Flying Training School, received the Air Force Medal award from the Gover- nor - General, The Earl of Ath- lone, at an investure held at Ottawa. Mrs, James Dunlop, the city's oldest resident, died in her 102nd year. A measles epidemic was on the increase with 460 cases re- ported in the city. The school board closed one township school on Bloor street east. Oshawa stood sixth among the cities in the province by contributing $32,851 to the Aid to Russia Fund. Thieves broke into the British American Oil Company ware- house on Emma street and stole a quantity of loose gasoline ra- - tion coupons covering approxi- mately 10,000 gallons of gaso- line. T. K.

(CP)--The word "'co-operative"' wasn't known in the Canadian Arctic five years ago. Today it's considered the hot- test discovery since someone brought the news that southern- ers would actually pay good money for those carvings the Eskimos did for kicks. Take Cape Dorset, on the eouthwest tip of Baffin Island, @s an example, Until 1959, Eskimos in the community were having a tough time. They hunted and fished inependently, with mere sur- vival as ultimate goal. They couldn't afford to maintain am. munition supplies and their kayaks were rotting. James Houston, a northern affairs departmem administra- tive officer, went into he com- munity and got the Eskimos to- gether in a co-op venture. He found a few good stone carvers who took on the job of teaching others. This year Oshaweetuk, a Cape Dorset Eskimo, came to Fro- bisher Bay to the first confer. ence of Arctic co-ops, armed with the latest annual financial staement, It showed the Cape Dorset co-op sold $123,810 worth of graphic arts and crafts in 1962, that the co-op retail store now has three departments and that more than $47,000 was paid out in local wages. It has 61 members, EARNINGS ZOOM Peter Kamongoak came from Resolute Bay with a similar story. The co-op there was or- ganized two years ago to handle retailing, fur marketing and handicrafts. In the first year its net earnings totalled $2,103. Last year it topped $52,000. These are the most success- ful of the 16 Eskimo co-ops now operating in the Canadian Arc- tic, but all are making a gigan- tie contribution to the economic development of this bleak terri- tory. Now one in five of the 11,800 Eskimos belong to a co- op, and more are in the process of being established. They perform functions from log-hauling to fish-catching and house-building, and most sell groceries. One housing project here has brought 15 Eskimo families from crude tarpaper shacks into relatively modern three- bedroom bungalows complete with panelled living roms. With a down payment of $147, PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM nan can get with his wife for remindi:.. hin she has a birthday coming up soon by reminding her how old she'll be then. Conscience may be a "still small voice" as a rule, but there are occasions when it hooks up with a powerful loud- speaker. and by erecting the prefabri- cated buildings themselves, the Eskimos can pay off the mort- gage at $35 a month, Most get their wages from a fisheries co. op that sells smoked Arctic char to white customers. LOANS FOR CO-OPS The co-op movement was or- ganized in the Arctic by the northern affairs department's industrial division, headed by Don Snowden, an energetic former newspaper man from Winnipeg with a burning ambi- tion to develop the Arctic. The division has only two full-time co-op workers, Paul Godt and Alex Sprudzs, who spend most of their time hop. ping from one isolated commu- nity to another working for the movement. Each new co-op gets loans of up to $50,000 from the federal government to start the busi- ness. Not one cent has been de- faulted. When Eskimo members of the 16 co-ops came here for their first convention in March, many had never before been out of their own communities. Con- ventions, as such, were un- OTTAWA REPORT pound their views, their prob- lems and their arguments, Mr. oe Dr. A. W. Laidiew, national Union of Canada, sat through p= Pisce sessions. Later he said: "If somehow or other I can adequately report everything to the people down south they will be amazed at what has hap- pened here in the last few years." 4 During each day of the con- ference he was "more and more delighted." While the Eskimos will need considerable assis. tance, they are gradually tak- ing over their own affairs and "they seem to have a instinc- tive ability to know who are their leaders." Poor Percentage Of Service Votes By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Where do our ser- vicemen come from, and what are their politics? From brasshat to buck priv- ate, we can get some interest- ing sidelights on them by study- ing the services vote in the election. ' The latest count shows a to- tal of 124,166 Canadians under arms, Of these, 52,497 are in the RCAF, or CARC, as it is known in French-Canada; 50,- 255 in the army; and 21,414 in the Royal Canadian Navy. These servicemen, and the wives of those who are mar- ried, were entitled to vote at the service polls, from April 1 to April 6. Veterans in hospitals operated by the department of veterans affairs could also vote in those polls. The rest of us,, of course, voted on election day, April 8, unless we chose to take advantage of the advance polls a week or so earlier. HOW MANY WIVES? No exact figures of enfran- chised wives are available. We can learn that the air brigade in has 15,403 A ents overseas, but this includes children. We also know that the army has around 9,500 dependents overseas, also in- cluding children. But the total services elec- torate, including members of the three armed services, plus the wives of married men, plus those hospitalized veterans, was estimated at 141,210. READERS' VIEWS THANKS Dear Sir: The Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Cancer Society would like to thank you for your help in publicizing our Women's meeting held in the Oshawa Central Collegiate auditorium on March 28. The meeting was widely attended and we feel the publicity given it in various ways was largely responsible for its success. Your ready willingness to help our society is much appreciated. FLORENCE M. HAWKES, Chairman, Education and Publicity, Ontario County Unit. Oshawa ALOOHOLISM Dear Sir: Mr. Blaine Boswell of the GM _ Labor Relations Dept. stated at a recent meeting of the Westmount Kiwanis Club, that an employee with 43 years' seniority had been fired because of his drinking problem. What I'd like to know is this: How could a person put in 43 years in GM and lose so much time as to have 43 years' seniority? He must have been drinking at 16. I don't know how long Mr. Boswell has been with General Motors but from my own ex- perience 30 years ago you could not make enough money in GM to buy a bottle of wine let alone enough to become an alcoholic. It seems to me that. instead of firing an employee with 43 years' seniority, GM _ should have pensioned him off as a sick person. After all, alcohol- ism is a sickness. The same applies to drug addiction. May- be Mr. Boswell does not know of the conditions that prevailed 30 years ago in GM. He did not tell his dinner guests about the days prior to the Union when. an employee had to go home ry LIGH TEST WHIS | Hi hie 'é " when there was a break down on the assembly line and told to stay near the phone and would be called into work. Also of the days when, if the super- vision did not like how you thought, you were fired. I could well realize a person becoming an alcoholic in those days. Maybe this employee which Mr. Boswell refers to was one of those persons who could not stand the strain of hand to mouth living which we experi- enced in the thirties. However, those days have. gone and the worker owes everything he has now to one thing and one thing only, a union. No matter what Mr. Boswell or anyone else says or thinks, the day will come when we will have institutions for the likes of alcoholics after 43 years' service to a company and GM and all other profit or- ganizations will have to dig down and help maintain them. Furthermore when the time comes to renew our contract with GM, Mr. Boswell will not be the person our bargaining committee will talk to. We have ample faith in our union and they will decide what we will settle for. HAROLD OLEY Oshawa CARPET COMPANY 282 King W. 728-9581 BROADLOOM TILE the rXy7 & world... GY ULLLLLLLLLD A very low 68 per cent of those voted, compared to more than 78 per cent of the civilian electorate which marked ballot papers. A total of 96,359 service votes was cast. Of these, 71 per cent went to Liberal candidates, 26. per cent to Conservatives, re and cent to Social Crediters, our per cent to NDP candi- dates, In the civilian vote, those | rte nggs were 41. for the iberals, 33 for the Conserva- tives, 12 for the Socreds and 14 for the NDP. That pattern repeats the ex- Perience of recent elections, when the service vote has been proportionately more in favor of the Liberal party than the general average of Canadians. prin y do our servicemen come rom MARITIME FORCES Nearly one-third of the ser- vice vote was applied to con- stituencies in Ontario. 30,751 service voters claimed that province as their home. Next came Nova Scotia with 15,607- 13, 7 10, from B.C.; 7,196 from Alberta; 5,702 from New Brunswick; 4,980 from Manitoba; 4,629 from Saskatchewan; 1,860 from New- Pg and 1,543 from In proportion to population, the cross-Canada figure shows that 0.5 per cent of the popu- lation, or 1 in every 200 Cana- dians, is in the armed forces. Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba each exactly match this national average, with 0.5 per cent of their res- pective populations in the ser- vices, Nova Scotia leads the parade, with 2.1 per cent of its popula- tion in uniform-no doubt mostly in the navy; little Prince Ed- ward Island is a close and sec- ond, with 1.5 per cent in uni- form; New Brunswick has 1.0 per cent; and B.C, has 0.7 per cent. Only two provinces fall below the national average; Newfoundland has 0.4 per cent of its population serving, and Quebec 0.2 per cent. The total strength of Canada's armed forces-now 124,166-is at an peacetime record high fig- ure. it's a pleasure to give courteous service for in- stant reservations, the world over.
