| She Os trate Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, MAY 14, 1963---PAGE 6 Civil Servants Clash On Arbitration Ideas Civil service associations are agreed on the question of collective ibargaining, They want it'-- and there is no reason why they should not get it, They do not agree, how- ever, on at least one of the implica- tions of collective bargaining: the course to be followed when barga- ining fails to reach an agreement, The ultimate weapon of labor associations or unions is the strike, the withdrawal of labor. But a atrike by key groups of civil ser- vants could bring chaos to a coun- try, and the civil servants recog- nize this, What is the answer? Compulsory arbitration, says one group; definitely no compulsory bargaining says another, W. L. Hood, national president of the Canadian Postal Employees' As- sociation, recently wrote Prime Minister Pearson a letter in which he said: "In our opinion, it would not be in the public interest to enact legislation which would have the effect of submitting the civil ser- vice employee organizations to com- pulsory arbitration ... If Parlia- ment approved legislation which bound its public servants to arbi- tration, it would be giving, by pre- cept, potent arguments to those whose aim is to deprive the trade i '+ ite damocratic rights .,. It is probable that disil- lusionment with an arbitration deci- sion may cause a revulsion against all forms of orderly. negotiations, foment great discontent and leave him (the average civil servant) a prey to irresponsible agitation . « « Hundreds of collective agreements are negotiated each year without the strike weapon being invoked ,.. Our concern in this matter is with basic principles," C, A, Edwards, president of the Civil Service Federation of Canada, says: "It seems to us that it would be difficult to find any group in the Civil Service for which a pretty good case could not be made out for prohibiting strike action... And when, pray, would it be politi- cally feasible for the Government to 'lock out' a group of civil ser- vants? ,,. Since the lockout is not a practical weapon for the Govern- ment, as an employer, it is only right that the Government em- ployees' weapon of strike should also be eschewed, in favor of arbi- tration, Final and binding arbitra- tion, applicable to both parties, is the sane and sensible substitute for economic warfare in the public ser- vice," There is no simple answer, There is no question about the weight of the principle invoked by Mr, Hood, the freedom withdraw labor, Still, the strength of a democracy lies in its free acceptance of certain limits on freedom itself -- the sanc- tions accepted by society for the greater good, It is in that light that Mr. Edwards' statement must be given weight, The key, perhaps, might be found in the manner in which arbitration would be cons ducted, and by whom, to PM's Press Conference Prime Minister Pearson has cut off the corridor press conference which was an interesting but not particularly useful feature of Mr, Diefenbaker's relations with the press Mr, Pearson thinks a room should be set aside where reporters could wait comfort, presumably until the prime minister decides whether or not he has something to say to the press, He suggested that "then, when the meeting is over, if there is anything to say," he would go to the conference room and answer questions under more favorable conditions for both prime 'minister and press, Mr, Diefenbaker seemed to relish his corridor contracts with the press, and saved some of his best quips for these occasions. But that is about all that ever came out of them -- quips, The fact is that the press conference is a vastly over- rated means of communication be- tween a prime minister and the press, It is different in the United States, where the president does not have to face Congress to answer More Debris Once again the United States plans to hurl.a mass of copper needles into space in an attempt to put a sort of metal band around the earth, And once again astronomers and other scientists in the U.S, and other countries are protesting, The reasons for the US. action, and the protests by the astronomers and their colleagues are military and scientific, But of primary im- portance is the fact that one coun- try is taking upon itself the enor- mous responsibility of cluttering space for purely selfish reasons -- an action which could affect the en- vironment of the earth as a whole, Clearly, an extermely important The Oshawa Times T. \.

POETIC ADVICE TO K mall nA HRUSH REPORT FROM U.K. Beefeaters Angry Over Guidé Move By M. MCINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng,) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A. strike is threatened, of all places, at the Tower of London, And the po» tential strikers are the gaily uniformed Beefeaters, who, in addition to their' traditional duties of being wardens of the histori Towerc, have as one of their - perquisites the task of guiding parties of .tourists through the Tower in the sum. mer months, This has always been a very profitable sideline 'for these Yeoman Warders at the Tower YOUR HEALTH of London, But the ministry of works has aroused the ire of every man jack of them, To their horror - and it will also be to the decided disadvantage of the many hundreds of tourists who visit the Tower daily « the ministry of works has suggested to the Governor of the Tower, Sir Thomas Butler, that the Beefeaters. should be required to give up their time-honored privilege of acting as guides during 'the summer months And that really put the cat among the pigeons TWO OBJECTIONS The Beefeaters about those. for are trate two reasons, Headache Causes Can Be Explored By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD Dear Dr, Molner: My daugh- ter, 16, can't take vitamin pills, She comes home from school with a terrific headache that extends into the neck, I've tried different brands and she gets similar reactions from all of them, What's your opinion? -- MRS, J, B, I don't see why you jump to the conclusion that vitamin pills are to blame, but you can test that theory yourself, Just stop giving them, If the head- aches continue, as I dare say they will, you'll know you have to look elsewhere for the trouble, (Be sure the girl has a well-balanced diet, and she'll get all the vitamins she needs.) Then explore a number of the commoner causes for young: Sters having these after-school headaches; 1. Have: her eyes been checked? It may be that she can't see well enough, and the tension from trying brings the headache 2 Is she under some other form of emotional tension? Disturbed over something at school? Are conditions peaceful at home, or is there: frequent confict that makes her dread being there? "3, What about her posture? If it is poor, it may be putting undue strain on muscles and nerves of the neck, This is not to be overlooked in such head- aches, especially when the ache extends into the neck, 4, Does she eat an adequate lunch? (Anda substantial breakfast?) If she skimps on breakfast and then has one of these pop - and . a - candy ~ bar "lunches," she could be having a "hungry headache," ee a tn The hungry headache occurs, physiologically, when the blood sugar level falls too low, In such cases, adequate break- fasts and lunches are the answer Vitamins don't cause head- aches, Vitamins are the natural content of proper foods in the diet, and the pills are only a mixture of these same male rials Dear Dr, Molner; My has gastritis, Is there a for it? -- D. HW. Gastritis: is inflammation of the stomach and a cure de- pends on the cause, Most gast- ritis is temporary. It is caused by spoiled food or something toxic or irritating, such as a highly - spiced diet or alcohol, If the trouble continues, the most frequent cause is irrita- tion from. alcohol, Moderation in eating helps, along with a bland, non-irritating diet, Some medicines can cause stomach irritation, Aspirin and certain antibiotics, for instance, are better tolerated if taken with food or a glass of milk, Dear Dr, Molner: For many years | have had an odor which wife cure - comes from my nose, and have been told to use a salt solution with a syringe, I come through ordinary physical checkups with flying colors, My dentist has x- rayed my teeth and finds noth- Ing wrong. My wife and friends tell me the odor is worse. just before I eat.--J. 8, My suggestion is a thorough examination by an ear-nose- throat specialist in search of a chronic infection somewhere in that area.

Aoto gies To ' dame CARRObeke CHEV They regard it as one of their traditional duties. And it also , threatens their pockets, They just cannot see another body of guides coming in to take their places, In the height of the summer, these Yeoman Warders have their incomes swollen substantially by the un- solicited, but yet gratefully ac- cepted, tips that cross their from the yisitere whom they have shown around the an- cient buildings, The word 'unsolicited' is used advisedly, because I have noticed that at the end of the tour of the Tower, these guides always position themselves at the exits in such a way that it is hinted to the visitors that a gratuity is expected, And. this never fails The suggestion from the min- istry of works; as might be ex- pected, has caused great unrest in the minds of the staff of 36 Beefeaters, A few months ago, they presented a claim to the war. office for a pay rise of about 16 cents a day for volun: tary duties. These included what is known as the Ceremony of the Keys, On that occasion, their claim was settled by the war office just on the eve of a strike Some of the Yeoman Warders. are now murmuring that this latest move to cut out their treasured perquisite is in some way & measure of retaliation for their strike threat. SECONDARY JOB This, of course, is stoutly de- nied by the ministry of works. Said a ministry spokesman: "Guiding is only a secondary job with the Warders, and we consider the present comple- ment inadequate for their war- ding duties. The ministry has suggested they give up their guiding duties in the summer because it frequently happens that there are not enough of them left over for their policing duties, And after all, they are responsible for the security of the Tower," "Why not increase the com: plement of Warders?"® he has asked, "There is a shortage of the right sort of men," said the ministry official, From the Governor's office came the bald" statement that the ministry's suggestion. was being considered OTTAWA REPORT Executive Aides Can Be Key Men By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Pearson has selected and an- nounced his "team", consisting of 26 Cabinet Ministers and a "bench squad' of 16 parlia- mentary secretaries to certain ministers. Behind these political chiefs, there are the top flight civil servants and the ministers' per- sonal staffs, The senior civil servant in each department is the deputy minister, whose responsibility it is to provide complete liaison between the minister and his department, and to ensure that the policy laid down by cabinet and minister is put into effect, Deputy ministers are at the very top of the civil service pay scale, ranging from $20,000 to $24,000 a year, These are the only members of the depart- mental bureaucracy who can be appointed or removed by the prime minister, and this provision {s important in view of their sensitive role, A deputy minister can make or break his minister; in a key depart- ment, he can do much to make or break the government. So it is understandable that the cab- inet, individually or collectively, is closely interested in these appointments, Historians will remark with in'erest that the incoming Dief- enbaker administration in 1957 did not dismiss or shuffle any of the incumbent deputy ministers, although with one exception from the Bennett regime they had all been appointed by the previous Liberal adminis- tration, ; PERSONAL STAFF Heading the minister's per- sonal staff, and selected by each minister, is the executive assistant, who can constitute the dynamo which makes: his minister tick, The E. A. may be anything from a oneanan publicity machine and brain- trust and work-horse to a s0- cial. companion or more ap- pointments clerk. He should be not only able, perhaps more able than the go- ing pay would indicate, but es- pecially he should be wise and experienced in the ways of Parliament Hill, He often be- comes exceedingly powerful. During the St. Laurent Lib- eral regime, the golden key to action on Parliament Hill was the phrase "Clear it with Jack", This referred to Jack Pickersgill, who' was then Clerk to the Privy Council and Secretary of the cabinet, but in effect he was executive assist- ant to the Prime Minister. In recent years, this phrase QUEEN'S PARK had equal strength, referring to Mel Jack, executive assistant to George Hees, first when he was minister of transport, then when he was minister of trade. MEL JACK--THE GREATEST Mel was the oldest in years and by far the oldest in politi- cal experience, among the ex- ecutive assistants of the Con- servative government, He was also by far the highest paid. His salary was $12,500, but he was worth 300 cents on the dol- lar. At the other end of the scale were several "faceless kids", young and green comparatively speaking, who were paid $9,000 a year and were not able to do one quarter the job which Mel took in his stride. Well known on Parliament Hill was the top dog of one min- ister's personal staff; who wore two hats, under the title 'Pri- vate Secretary and Executive Assistant to the minister of Na» tional Revenue (later Minister of Finance), Hon. George Nowe. lan."" This was Mrs, Ruth Mea- bry, the highest paid secretary at $9,000 or alternatively the only executive assistant who also pounded a typewriter. Great Expectations For Killamey Area By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--What could grow to be one of Ontario's great recreation attractions is to be déveloped in the area of Killar- ney, on the north shore of Geor- gian Bay. Killarney itself is known to a great many Ontario people and Americans as a_ picturesque little summer vacation area ac- cessible only by water or air, Now a road is being put through to the village and it's expected that during the next few years there should be a tourist boom in the area.

Killarney ifself there is a po- tentially gat drawing card in a recreational reserve which is being set aside by the govern- ment, The department of lands and forests has laid out a 4,000- squareamile area to be held for a "reserve" or as it is called "The Killarney Recreational Reserve', In approaching this reserve the department is adopting a new concept, The designation "peserve" in. fact, is entirely new in the department's glos- sary--which to date has con sisted of "'wilderness" areas, "parks," "development areas and 80 on. The explanation of just what a "reserve" shaii consist of nas not been fully spelled out as yet. But in practical terms in the case of Killarney it will mean the first big planned rec- reational aréa in the province. The reserve's 4,000 square miles will be larger than any provincial park or designated area in the province, Algonquin, is 2,900 miles, Quetico 1,800 perior 750. There is room to spare. And so there will be a combination of uses and facilities. There will be provincial parks within the area, one, at least, to be a large wilderness core, And there also will be resort and development sites. Indicating the true potential of the area is the first project to be marked down for develop- ment.
