2 7 ee ee FO Se CF Ge aha LL a os | She 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, MAY 27, 1963--PAGE 6 Locks May Not Be Main Threat To Lake Simcoe The dispute over the installation of locks at the Swift and Big Chute Rapids on the Severn River goes on. The Jocks would remove the biggest bottleneck on the Trent-Severn waterway between Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay. There is no doubt that plea at travel on the portion of thaawdterway between Georgian Bay and, Lake Simcoe would increase substantially if the present primitive marine railway system were replaced. But manyw fear that the locks would also pefr- mit lampreys to travel from Georg- jan Bay into Lake Simcoe to destroy the lake trout and whitefish there as they have in the Bay. Both sides can marshal the testimony of experts. In a recent address to the Orillia Rotary Club, for example, Professor A. W. Bak- er, a biologist on the staff of the Qntario Agricultural College, claim- ed that the Severn locks would be deadly to-fishing in Lakes Couchi- ehing and Simcoe. He claimed that jampreys have not moved from heavily infested Lake Ontario through the Trent system into Lake Simcoe to a temperature barrier in the Kawarthas, where lakes get too warm for the lampreys on their spawning runs. Eels may have made the trip, he thought, but water con. ditions were not right for their pro- pagation. He could not explain why Gloucester Pool, connected to Geor- gian Bay by a lock, does not seem to have any lampreys. If there is a temperature barrier there, of course, then the Severn waterway is no more of a menace to Lake Simcoe than the Trent has been. The Orillia paper suggests that the federal government have a mar- ine biologist study the situation and report as quickly as possible, "to ensure that everyone is fully aware of the facts." What this argument obscures, however, is the possibility that the greatest threat to Lake Simcoe fish. ing may be man, not lamprey. A substantial amount of untreated sewage pours into the lake from small communities, cottages and cruising boats; each winter, now, nearly five thousand ice-fishing huts are placed on the lake ice, and many of the people using them are a dirty lot, leaving tons of refuse to pollute the lake and change the bottom with the spring breakup. How long can the game fish survive the filth? Up-Dating Ontario Law Most of us have said, at one time or another, "there ought to be a Jaw." The fact is, of course, that there generally is a law. What is needed is not so much new law as revision and up-dating of the whole body of law. Legislation passed for a horse-and-buggy age cannot be. expected always to suit a jet-and- missile age. That was the theme of a convoca: tion address at McMaster Univer- sity by Dean H. Allan Leal of Os- goode Hall law school. He suggested the establishment of a law reform committee in Ontario -- a commit- tee detached from but supported by government, and backed by laymen, with a permanent secretariat. There is much sense in Dr. Leal's proposal, notes the Hamilton Spec- tator, which comments: A commit- tee of experts could study the always pressing problem of bring- ing laws up to date to suit the cli- mate of today. There are, as he gays, inadequacies in legislation dealing with the regulation of. busi- ness practices, the compensation of victims of automobile accidents, and the relations of husband and wife both as to property and person. In addition, the law of evidence and the whole field of criminal law have inadequacies. Antiquated and unfair laws always need changing, and if a committee could speed up the pro. cess, all to the good. "Naturally, the government would have the final say -- the com- mittee would only make sugges- tions. But such a committee, by lis- tening to and often acting upon the grievances of private citizens and business, would help clear the way for whatever reforms are needed. A government, made up mostly of lay. men, would be inclined to listen to its proposals and act on many of them, "Many laws do need changing, and most of us would not find it difficult at a moment's notice to think of one or two that seem un- fair or unwieldy. Too many of them apply to to world our parents knew, and not to life as we know it. Cir- cumstances change, attitudes alter, and behavior patterns are not rigid. What may have seemed just 40 years ago is rank cruelty today." CHMC Notes Changes The annual report of Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation shows two interesting developments during the past year. They cannot be trends, because they may not be repeated in the next 12-month period. But if they are repeated, the sociologists will have to start re- vising some of their ideas. , There was, during the year, a élight shift away from home owner- ship. While starts on private homes declined from 79,477 units in 1961 to 77,236 units last year, apartment 'construction was up in nearly all 'cities across the country. ' There was, too, a continued slow- 'ing down of the movement of people 'to the suburbs of medium and large She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

The Ottawa Journal notes, too, that "the CMHC also. found that the 1961 census provided answers to one of the great puzzles in Cana- dian housing. For the past years the number of new homes being built every year has considerably éxceed- ed the estimates of new families coming into being. Yet there has been no real increase in vacancy rates. "The census showed CMHC that it had underestimated not only the rate of new families being formed but the number of non-family groups (such as. working girls sharing apartment) now seeking accommodation ... "Now if CMHC could discover a way to encourage more low-income families to take advantage of the National Housing Act and more municipalities to go ahead with public housing, this remarkably suc- cessful Crown corporation would know all the answers."

Oshawa Fines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited REPORT FROM U.K. Deal For 40 Hours Attacked By Nicky By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The National In- comes Commission, familiarly known as "NICKY'"', in its first report on a subject referred to it by. the government, has strongly condemned the Scottish building industry's agreement for the establishment of a 40- hour week, to be effective. in November of this year. Its re- port said the agreement was unlikely to lead to a reduction in the hours actualy worked and would result in higher build- ing costs. The agreement, it said, was contrary to the national interest. It also condemned the 40-hour week settlement for Scottish plumbing workers, which was a forerunner to the 'building trades settlement. The plumb- ing agreement is applicable to about 6,000 workers, but that for the building industry affects about 80,000. NOT JUSTIFIED The Commission's report says that the Scottish building agree- ment will result in a wage in- crease of 7.1 per cent for crafts- men and 7.7 per cent increase for laborers, on top of a two cents an hour -ost-of-living rise given in February. There were, it said, no exceptional grounds justifying the agreement. The agreement has already had repercussions on wages and hours in England and Wales. "If an income policy is to be successful," says the report, "pressure from excessive wage increases must be withstood." ALTERNATIVES CITED The commission recommends alternative courses for building employers in England and Wales and in the civil engineer- ing industry, also faced with de- mands for a 40-hour week, They are: "They should agree to a wage increase not exceeding the growth in national productivity, "They should forego a wage increase until the accumulated increase in national productiy- READERS' VIEWS THANKS Dear Sir, - The Oshawa and District UNICEF Committee wishes to thank you most sincerely for the extensive coverage and publicity given by you to our 'Open House' on 21st April last.

The Commission says the first course is the more sensible. UNION REACTION Harry Weaver, general secte- tary of the National Federation of Building Trades Operatives, has this comment to make: "Who are they to judge? They do not represent public opinion, merely the Conservative gov- ernment which created the Na- tional Incomes Commission. If the purpose was to influence ne- gotiations within the trade union movement, then I-can as- sure them that their time and energies will have been spent in vain." The National Federation of Building Trades Employers said it was doing all it could to bring about the rearrangement of the employers" side which the Com- mission had recommended. YOUR HEALTH TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 27, 1963... . The federal government nationalized the Bank of Canada 25 years ago today --in 1938 -- only three years after the bank had opened its doors for business. The central bank, opened in March, 1935, acted as the government's banker and managed the public debt. The bank also took over the government - note issue and the gold held against it, The Bank of Canada became the sole issuer of paper cur- rency in Canada and the chartered banks withdrew their own note issues over a 15-year period. In addition to issuing and distributing paper currency, the bank distributes coinage struck by the Royal Canadian Mint. 1941 -- The German bat- tleship Bismarck was sunk with 2,300 men lost. 1949 -- Liberals led by Joseph Smallwood won the first provincial election held in Newfoundland. Change In Dosage Expert's Decision By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD. Dear Dr. Molner: My hus- band has been in a mental hos- pital four times in the last seven years .He has been home now for 13 months and is taking a 100-mg. tablet of thorazine three times a day. When I suggest that he see a doctor about whether he needs to continue the medication, he says he will just stop taking it himself. I am afraid for him to do that because it might result in a recurrence of his illness, He is listless and sleeps much of the time.--Mrs. J. M. That and other tranquilizers are much used--and of much value--in relaxing the everyday stresses for people with emo- tional problems. \Sometimes these drugs are the difference between a patient going home or having to stay in the hospital. I can think of a case or two within my personal experience of patients refusing to take med- ication, of this or- any other type, with disastrous results. _ Most, however, realize the importance of the extra help af- forded by the medicine. This is a major factor in recent ad- vances in mental health, We are getting more patients home sooner, and keeping them well for longer and longer periods. I would, therefore, be very much opposed to your husband stopping the medication, or changing the amount of it, with- out having instructions from a doctor, and preferably from a psychiatrist. Isn't it possible for him to go back to the hospital to see the doctors there, say every few months: Not to stay, not even overnight, but just a call in the office. You might write to the hospital and ask whether a visit would be advisable, or whether there is a clinic or a psychia- trist closer to your home. Your husband's listlessness is not surprising since the tran- quilizer and in some cases the underlying emotional problems may both-contribute to this. It is possible that a different dos- age might be better for him. Regulation of. the amount of any drug is 'important. The patient himself rarely is a good judge of the correct amount. What an he tell the doctor about how he feels is a very useful guide but it isn't the whole story. With mental illness even more than with most physical illnesses, periodic checkups aft- erward are the best insurance against a relapse. HOPKINS BEADLE & CO. _ Chartered Accountants Announce that their Office Is Now Located at the FINANCIAL TRADE BUILDING 187 KING ST. EAST, OSHAWA Hamilton Falls Project Seen Key To New Wealth By JOE DUPUIS MONTREAL (CP) -- If Joey Smallwood's hopes are realized, a start will be made within a year on one of the world's great hydro . electric power develop- ments. The Newfoundland premier declared in mid-April he hopes work will begin by early 1964 to harness Hamilton Falls in the heart of Labrador, a region he has often described as his Pprovince's treasure chest. What is involved is a water course with a hydro potential of 7,000,000 horsepower. A 10- year development project would employ 5,000 men and cost an estimated $1,500,000,000, an un- dertaking as large in scope as the St. Lawrence Seaway, British -+Newfoundland Cor- poration (Brinco), N e w found- land government agent, owns 80 per cent of the Hamilton Falls development, and publicly owned Hydro . Quebec the re- maining 20 per cent. Brinco was established in 1953, primarily with British cap- ital, to develop Newfoundland's natural resources. It holds a 99. year lease on the Hamilton River drainage basin. NINTH HEAVIEST FLOW With a drop of 245 feet, Ham. ilton Falls is higher than Nia- gara's Horseshoe Falls, at 160 feet. In average rate of water flow -- 30,000 to 40,000 cubic feet a second--it ranks ninth in the world, the biggest being South America's Guaira Falls at 470,000. The Canadian and American falls at Niagara, where about 6,000,000 horsepower is pro- duced, average 212,200 cubic feet a second and have the steadiest flow of any in the world's waterfalls, An important factor hh plans for Hamilton Falls is that it lies on terrain ideally suited for inexpensive hydro development The topography eliminates the need for expensive concrete dams usually associated with power projects. At Twin Falls, 12 miles west of Hamilton Falls, Brinco saved an estimated $70,000,000 be- cause it was able to put to earth dams for its 120,000-horse- power hydro-electric station. "That's what is different about Labrador," says Dr. Rich. ard L. Hearn of Toronto, prob- ably Canada's best - known hydro consulting engineer. "Na- ture does. all that work for us." WOULD DIVERT RIVER The Hamilton River drains a 25,000-square-mile plateau. The area, 2,000 feet above sea level, is muskeg dotted with hundreds of lakes, Brinco's four-year project to develop the river's hydro poten- tial is called the 'channel scheme" and would harness 4,000,000 of the 7,000,000 poten- tial horsepower. The scheme involves diverting the river four miles above the falls through a series of lakes to a mountain on the same level as the falls: 22 miles dow- Stream. There, engineers can develop a greater head (water plunge) of 1,040 feet. Through vrtical penstocks in. the moun- tain,' the diverted flow would drop to an underground power house 1,000 feet deep in solid rock. A horizontal tunnel at the base of the powerhouse wou'd carry the water 1 1-3 miles back to the Hamilton River at a point 400 feet above sea level. Immense turbine units of 275,- 000 horsepower each would be installed in the mountain. The project would be tackled in four stages. In the first stage, several 16- mile long earth dams at the foot of Jacopie Lake would .be constructed to divert the Hamil- ton River, around the falls to the powerhouse, creating enough flow to develop the first 1,000,000 horsepower. SEAL OFF RIVER The second stage would add 3,470 square miles to the catch- ment by absorbing the drainage from the Michikamau Lake area, Two dams on the Fraser and Fremont lakes would be enough to swing the drainage through the Michikamau, Lob- stick and Sandgrit lakes to the Hamilton River. This would pro- vide a second 1,000,000 horse- power, 'Stage three would add a third 1,000,000 horsepower by merely boosting the storage capacity in the Michikamau. By the fourth stage, engineers visualize seal- ing off the mouth of the 35-m'le- long Unknown River to create BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Ben Jacklin, John Burch and W. J.

Centre Street Home and School Association re-elected Mrs. Ira Travell as president for second year. an even greater reservoir for a total 4,000,000 horsepower capa- city. Another 2,000,000 horse- power could be generated with two plants on the lower part of the Hamilton River. But this power would be more expensive than that produced in the channel! scheme, says Brinco, and uneconomical _ at the present. Wild and mostly uninhabited 10 years ago, the upper country of the Hamilton River basin is building rapidly. Thanks to de- velopment of the area's rich iron ore resources, the basin now has 150 miles of roads, two commercial airstrips, two hydro-electric plants, two min- ing towns--Labrador City and Wabush City--and a rail con- nection to the north shore of the St. Lawrence River. SERVES MINE TOWNS Twin Falls power, to be boosted another 120,000 horse. power within the next year, serves the twin mining towns of Labrador City and Wabush City, across the Wabush Lake from each other, : The Iron Ore Company of Canada made its first shipment last year from Labrador City, and is working at an annual production rate of 7,000,000 tons of concentrates. Wabush Mines is expected to go into produc. tion in 1965 with 6,000,000 tons of concentrates annually. About 20,000 people will live in the two company towns. Soviet engineers have been keeping in "close touch with Brinco on development of the Hamilton. They are said to be chiefly interested in the prob- lem of transmitting power over long distances. There is a plan to build a national power grid in the Soviet Union that would require 1,500 miles of trans- mission lines and voltages of 800,000 or more. W. Gillies Ross, writing ig the Canadian Geographical Journal, says that by using high voltage direct current "a transmission distance of 1,000 miles is not considered imprac- tical, either technically or eco- nomically." A line of this length, he says, could deliver Hamilton power to Quebec, Montreal or Toronto. Canada's longest transmission line at the moment is the 400-mile long grid that links Montreal with Hydro-Quebec's Bersimis River project. Negotiations to have Hamil ton's power transmitted on Hy- dro - Quebec lines have been going on for more than a year. Transmission lines would be hooked into the Hydro-Quebee network, with Newfoundland and Quebec getting first call on the power and the remaindes going to other Canadian or United States buyers.
