Bye Osharon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, MAY 21, 1963---PAGE 6 Finance Minister Can't Squelch New Optimism 'The Throne Speech gave little hint of the line Finance Minister Walter Gordon will take in his budget, which is expected about mid-June. There was a reference to fiscal and monetary policies which "will give priority to the encouragement of sounldy-based industrial expan- sion." This could scarcely be called a revealing clue, because Mr. Gor- don has been saving for the last couple of years that such encour- agement should be the purpose of fiscal and monetary policies, ' The Throne Speech does, how- ever, outline in a sketchy way the area in which the finance minister must work. The legislative program suggests that federal expenditures will increase, rather than decrease, which means either an increase in government revenues or the accep- tance of another massive deficit. The quickest way to increase reve- nues, of course, is to increase taxes, but Mr. Gordon is not likely to take this course; far more likely is a continuation of heavy deficit bud- geting. The economic upswing that start- ed a year ago is continuing. There is an atmosphere of buoyant opti- mism apparent 'in business circles. Some economists are even theoriz- ing that the five-year slowdown which started late in 1956 was actu- ally the poshtwar recession which had been expected in the late 1940s but which was delayed by the de- mand for goods dammed by the war years. This period, they think, is now over and another prosperous cycle could be starting. But an in- crease in taxes at this time could easily change the optimism to pes- simism; it would be a brake on busi- ness and would inspire cutbacks rather than expansion. Moreover, there is a royal com- mission examining the tax struc- ture, and the whole country is hope- ful that out of the investigation will come recommendations for a more equitable and orderly tax system. Finally, if Mr. Gordon wants to encourage expansion, he must pro- vide incentives, which can be found only in the tax structure. Ship Building Troubles A report from Farmer Tissing- ton, Ottawa correspondent of the Oshawa Times, suggests that, Can- ada's ship-building industry may be in for a period of decreased ac- tivity. The subsidy provided by the Diefenbaker government for ships built in Canada touched off a spurt of building which may be enough to take care of the requirements of Canadian shipping companies for some time to come. Two years ago Leon Balcer, then transport minister, announced that the federal government would pay a capital subsidy of 35 per cent of the approved costs of construction for domestic and deep sea vessels. To give the program greater stim- ulus, he said the 35 per cent sub- sidy would be boosted to 40 per cent for work done until March 31 this year. After that date it would drop back to 35 per cent. The new trans- port minister George Mcllraith is expected to maintain it at that level, but the amount of new build- ing to be done will depend on the degree to which ship-owners' needs - have been satisfied by recent con- struction, The history of Canadian ship- building has been one of ups and downs. In the years between the world wars, Canadian shipyards either closed or were on the verge of closing. Then came the second world war, and ships of all kinds were desperately needed. The post- war years brought another slump which lasted 'until the recent flurry of construction. Canada's deep-sea fleet is almost non-existent, but the subsidy has meant a lot to construction of ships for inland waters. The importance of maintaining a good domestic fleet is underlined by the fact that Great Lakes ships require about 7,500 men for operation, with an annual payroll of about $35 million and trade earnings of around $120 million. The new government may proceed with a program of naval building. While the new destroyer escorts will be completed in the next two years, the Conservatives announc- ed a year ago that eight general- purpose frigates would be built. These could keep several yards busy for another few years. The Useful Danielion A common sight these days is that of a lawn-proud householder fiercely attacking the humble but persistent dandelion. It inspired the Welland Tribune to .recall nostal- gically that there was a time when the dandelion's emergence was en- thusiastically greeted. The Tribune goes on: : There was a time when the dan- delion's emergence was enthusiasti- cally greeted. That was back in the days when a lot more dandelion wine was produced. Whole families used to carefully go over the growing plots snipping the golden yellow flowers for wine-making purposes. The great growth of: pride in gardening and well-kept lawns has tended to make home-owners' look upon the dandelion as a curse and a pernicious pest. Some of the more She Oshawa Times T. L.

Yet the plant is remarkably use- ful. In the spring dandelion greens make a tasty salad when blanched, chilled, and served with dressing. The greens are widely used as pot- herbs. Epicures advise cutting. the leaves while young, since they grow bitter with age.' The venturesome fry dandelion blossoms, and say they taste like fried mushrooms. Many more swear by a dandelion infusion as a spring tonic and blood purifier. The dried roots are sold as the drug Taraxa- cum. Roasted and ground, dandelion roots can be brewed into a palatable, but bitter, coffee. The inhabitants of the Mediterranean Island of Minorca once survived a famine by eating dandelion roots. Dandelion greens are fed to silk- worms when mulberry leaves, their usual diet, are scarce. The milky latex of the perennial Russian dandelion is a commercial source of rubber in the Soviet Union.

God, whose domain is eternity, has our times in His hand. USING THE WRONG EQUIPMENT REPORT FROM U.K. _ Embankment Show Draws Big Crowds By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A walk through the Victoria Embankment Gar- dens on these sunny spring days can be a rewarding experience for art lovers and those inter- ested in the works of London's artists. With the coming of warmer weather, the 16th annual open- air exhibition of art, organized by the London County Council, is attracting thousands of people to the Embankment. When I -went down on the opening day to look over the pictures, the masses of people extending the whole length of the Embank- ment railings on which the pic- tures are hung made it difficult to view the whole exhibition. This is a unique exhibition in that there is no selection' com- mittee to choose the paintings to be hung along the embank- ment, The artists bring their work from all parts of London and the surrounding area, and the spaces are occupied on a first-come, best-served basis. FEWER PUZZLES This year's open-air exhibi- tion is noteworthy in that in the wide variety of subjects and tal- ents on display, there were few- er of those incomprehensible ab- stract paintings than I have seen in some previous years. GALLUP POLL Even the paintings which ap- peared without titles were fairly easy to recognize. Nudes were conspicuous by their almost entire absence this year. One, entitled "The River Witch" is by a young Irishman, Aidan Duffy, 23, who learned to paint in hospital while recover- ing from serious injuries sus- tained in a motorcycle accident. He has had three pictures re- fused by the Royal Academy, but attracted a great deal of attention in the London County Council Embankment exhibition. YOUR HEALTH One interested visitor to the exhibition was a representative of a company which produces Christmas cards. He said that his company would probpbly buy half. a dozen paintings at the exhibition, as it was inter- ested in the high standard of the work on display. "We don't need to bother with the Royal Academy for our purposes,"' he said. I was impressed by the large number of excellent landscape paintings featuring beauty spots within easy distance of London. Some very fine still life paint- ings and floral designs were in the exhibition, and interested the spectators. One comment made was that this year's collection included many more "'buyable" pictures than in former years, and as few of them cost as much as $30 to $40, with scores in the $12 to $20 range, a good deal of business was done. Impetigo Spread -- "Must Be Blocked By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What causes » impetigo? I know of two cases, not in the same family. One is a six- year-old child and the other an elderly person. Both have sores over the body and face which at first look like burns. Then dark scabs form and when they come off they leave ugly scars.--J 8. P. Majority Dissatisfied With Defence Policies (World Copyright Reserved) BY CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION During the - recent election campaign Canada's defence pol- icies came greatly to the fore. Leaders of the four Parties all took stands on the subject but there is no proof that any politi- cal party satisfied voter criti- cism. Gallup Poll interviewers have established that there is a grow- ing dissatisfaction among Cana- dians with our defence policies. Satisfied + Dissatisfied No opinion . More than half the people of Ontario feel a new look must be taken at the country's de- fence policies (59 per cent) with the West a close second -- 56 per cent. Quebec and the Mari- Satisfied Dissatisfied .. No opinion ... Only a quarter of the people declare themselves as content with the defence of Canada while 53 per cent say they are not satisfied and 22 per cent have no opinion. . A trend question has been asked since 1958 which has shown that the majority of Ca- nadians have never been satis- fied with our defence role, The question: "Are you satisfied with the present Canadian defence poli- cies or do you think there is need to take a new look at our defence policies?" 1958 = 195: 1960 Today 32% 32% «25% ~ 25% 34 42 46 53 34 26 29 22 100% 100% 100% 100% times are less critical -- 44 per cent.

MALE You've described the disease very vividly. Impetigo affects children more frequently than adults, but older people do have it, too. It's a skin infection that can be caused by either of the com- mon coccus germs: streptococ- cus or staphylococcus. First a group of blisters ap- pears. Then they usually fill with pus, form a crust and keep oozing. Since this is a problem of germs, it is possible for the disease to spread to other parts of the body. Medication to subdue the in- fection is necessary. In addi- tion, the patient must be sure not to spread the germs. This means thorough washing of the hands, preferably with special soaps, as well as salves. Wipe the hands with paper. towels and throw them away after- ward. Keep the nails trimmed and clean. because the germs can lurk there. With proper care, the disease can be ended in reasonably short time--but preventing the spread to new parts of the body is just as important as getting the old places healed. Some forms of impetigo, such as the bullous type, can be very seri- ous and even fatal. Dear Dr. Molner: A year ago, I had surgery on lymph nodes in the groin as a test for mal- ignancy. Cancer was not in- volved. I have been told the en- largement may be from some infection which we have not been able to track down, What is your opinion?--MRS. L. D. There aré lymph. glands in the groin, armpits, neck, chest and elsewhere in the body. Past or present infection is the usual cause of enlargement, although there are others, in- cluding cancer. Canadian Submarine Men Test Escape Techniques -- HALIFA X (CP) -- There's a good chance the crew of a sun- ken submarine can escape--if the submarine is less than 300 feet from the surface. At greater depths, it's much more difficult. Canadian personnel being trained by the Royal Navy to man Canada's future subma- rine fleet learn, among other things, how to reach the surface by "free ascent" from the hot- tom of 100-foot tanks at HMS Dolphin, a naval shore estab- lishment near Portsmouth, England. Commander K. Vause of the British 6th submarine division, based on Halifax,says chances are good that most of the crew of a. snuken submarine could Safely reach the surface by free ascent from depths of 300 feet 0: icss. But at greater depths a res- cue bell would be necessary. The beil is lowered to the sub- marine's escape hatch and locked to it. NO ACCIDENTS So far, only test escapes by experts have been carried out in the open sea, There have been no accidents in training, Cnidr. Vause said. Canadian sailors, with only one submarine of their own, are learning undersea warfare in British submarines, and a few Canadians also are being< trained in U.S. Navy subma- rines. The only submarine so far owned by Canada and manned entirely by Canadians is the Grilse, operating out of Esqui- malt,B.C. Canadian officers and . men for submarine duty, all volun- teers, begin their training at Dolphin. Each British submar- ine now operational carries a small percentage of Canadians, perhaps five or six men in a crew of about 65. The initial five-year stint can be extended. These Canadians, although re- ceiving Canadian rates of pay become to all intents and pur- poses an integral part of the Royal Navy. Some have risen to command submarines. The cramped life aboard the submarines requires certain characteristics including pa- tience and the ability to get along well with others in the confined quarters. The modern submarine, al- though an improvement over those of the Second World War, still is not blessed with excess elbow room . Typical is the A-class Au: one of three posted to the 6th submarine division. This 268- foot craft was described by Omdr, Vause as a "'submarine- hunter-killer" whose prime pur- pose in event of war is to de- stroy enemy submarines. Auriga is designed mainly for underwater cruising. Her flared bow is the only apparent con- cession to surface cruising. With her "'snort mast" Auriga can remain just below the sur- face blowing out fumes from the diesel engines while charg- ing batteries and drawing in fresh air, Old-time submarines had to surface to charge their batteries. QUEEN'S PARK "In fact," said Cmdr, Vause,. "the filtered air aboard a mod- ern submarine is more { than that aboard some ce ships." POST-WAR DESIGN Because submarines now are designed for underwater cruis- ing the "crash dive" is no longer of prime importance, And _~ ~ ie) dive has gone conning tower, now replaced by a high, stream- lined '"'fin." Auriga's r has a in the fin, rey M. Wien said he ---- " even though can't stand up straight in it. Immediately below him is the control room, from which small doors lead fore and aft. The submarine was on her way to nearby Bedford Basin for a practice shoot before pro- ceeding to sea for exercises. . "Dive," ordered Lt, -Cmdr. Wilson, : Auriga gently tipped forward. As the hands on the dept! gauges moved to 40 feet she levelled, wavered a bit ,then . steadied, "Up scope," said the skipper. Tobacco Control * Blow To Liberty By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- There is a place and a need for a new body in our political system. This body would be a protec- tor of our principles, an inde- pendent group representing the interest of the public at large as a defender of rights. It would take action on behalf of the public against acts of government or of parliament which altered in any substantial way our political structure and the basic components this con- sists of. The need for such body is ap- parent as you observe the pro- ceedings at this, and probably any other seat of government, over a period of years. From time to time you find the politicians confronted with situations in which expediency is very alluring. And on occa- sion they bow to this exped- iency at the expense of prin- ciple.

Experiencing an over-all ex- penditure of some $222,800 in 1948, East Whitby Township Council set a tax rate of 22 mills, exclusive of school section and water area rates for the current year. And -- this is where the proposed new body comes in -- there are important instances where they lean to expediency and are able to act practically unchallenged. A current case is the farm marketing legislation on the marketing of tobacco. The provncal Farm Market- ing Board -- indirectly a gov- ermment agency--has issued a bold statement. It has said it will back to the hilt this win- ter's amendments to the Mar- keting Act which authorize do struction of tobacco crops which have been planted without per- mission of the Flue-Cured To- bacco Growers Marketing Board. This legislation on tobacco marketing is the closest we have come to autocracy to date. It not only gives existing growers control over the acre- age to be planted and who is to grow it, it now gives authority to destroy crops in the field (even those which might be in- tended for sale outside the prov- ince, as independently - grown tobacco has been sold in for- mer years), This is a great blow to our prize principle of freedom of the individual. It also mocks "free enterprise," which we have more or less accepted as one - the appendages of our sys- em. The key it is that this dras tic rateeation may veces matter of practice, and there- fore part of our system, with- out having faced any real chal- lenge. The legislation had relatively little opposition in the house. The politicians thought it was what the farmers wanted, and our politicans just won't. offend farmers. There is a slight chance it may get a test in court. But only if a few independent grow: ers decide it is worth the fi- nancial risk of fighting it. One can say that there is al- ways the press. But in this case--and others dealing with fundamentals -- the press as @ body has not shown any praise- worthy awareness. There would seem to be ob- vious need for some new inde- pendent group before we are all goose-stepping.
