H She Oshawa Zines . Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E.,<Oshawa, Ontario. T. L, Wilson, Publisher -- WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1963---PAGE 6 Investigation Needed Into Sugar Convulsion The wholesale price of sugar eased a little as this week began, but even if it dropped to where it was a year ago, there should be no slackening of the demand for # . thorough federal investigation into the price antics of sugar during re- cent months. Consumers have a right to know if: they have been bilked -- and if so, by whom. ' When sugar 'prices began their ) dizzy climb, the usual explanations were given: Increased labor costs, élimination of the Cuban source of éupply, crop failures last year in Europe's sugar 'beet fields, in- ereased world demand, and so on. But as the price continued to rise, even some of the authorities in the sugar trade became puzzled. One candy manufacturer, irritated and worried by the prospect of having to increase prices and thus lose sales, flatly suggested that specu- ' lators were holding back supplies to force up the price. : If speculators have been mani- pulating the market, the Canadian consumer has heen unmercifully victimized, and has certainly paid for the right to know who has been using him as an all-day sucker. The federal government should be prepared to provide some ans- wers to the question: Why have there been 35 consecutive increases in the wholesale price of sugar this year? And a parliamentary com- mittee should question the federal officials who-are in a position to provide the answers. Tariff Adjustments Canada has welcomed in principle the proposal of President Kennedy that the U.S. and its trading part- ners cut tariffs by an across-the- board 50 per cent, but the recent GATT discussions at Geneva showed that Trade Minister Sharp is aware of the disadvantages embedded in the details of the. plan. So are the _European countries. Put very simp- ly, the big objection is this: One half of 100 is 50, and one half of 70 is 35, In other words, if a tariff on a commodity is already high, if it Is halved it may still be. high. The objection was strong enough to force the GATT delegates to fall back on the item-by-item method of reviewing tariffs. But something better can and should be worked out to smooth the flow of world: trade. The flow to and from the United' States is of particular importance to Canada. Canadian producers can increase their sales in the U.S. -- they've shown it by ringing up a thumping $800 million increase since 1960. The trouble is that the increase in our sales has been ac- companied~by an increase in our _ purchases from the U.S. At the end of last year we were still run- ning a deficit/in our trade of some $565 million}. Selective fariff adjustments. like those i#d to automobile auto-. matic transmissions 'may be one answer. We charge the importer 25 per cent duty on transmissions but give him the chance for. debates based on the amount of return trade he developes.. The -choice offered is to make the parts in Canada or increase' export sales. Canada benefits in either case. It should be possible to extend this procedure to other industries Council Seeking Help The Ontario Economic Council has issued an appeal "that all con- cerned in the development of this province will, either as individuals, associations or organizations, make use of its facilities." The Council was established last year for the purpose of investigat- ing provincial economic problems. and recommending ways and means to solve them. Its aims are: To in- crease the efficiency of Ontario's primary and secondary industries and the marketing of their pro- ducts;_to maintain a rate of econ- omic development capable of absor- bing Ontario's growing work force; to promote the economic advance- ment of both Ontario and Canada. It certainly has an ambitious and monumental task. To do it, needs co-operation. It has certain powers. It can, for instance, engage consultants and advisers as required; it can use the services of department of the On- tario government; it can organize and establish committees to carry out special studies and prepare re- ports; it can publish "such reports and information as may be deemed advisable." It is, in other words, a self-stayt- ing organization. But it can settle into its own little rut, proceeding at its own pace, if it does not have active public interest and the prod of other ideas to keep it in high gear. The Council realizes this, and therefore welcomes briefs, submis- sions, comments, criticisms and "the assistance of the people of this province."

MceINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON Investigations are being undertaken by the Westland Aircraft Corporation of Britain, developers of the SR2 Hovercraft, into the possi- bility of using these ultra. modern craft to solve some of the problems of transport for the Atlantic provinces of Can- YOUR HEALTH ada, and particularly in the Bay of Fundy. H.

Thyroid Problems Can Be Corrected By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: During a recent illness my doctor said that my metabolism was out of whack. With proper treatment can this be adjusted?--J. J. C. Yes. : You didn't say whether "out of whack' means that your thyroid gland is too active or too sluggish, but it produces the hormones 'which regulate met- abolism, And metabolism is:a measure of the rate at which we put to use the energy contained in our food. If the thyroid is sluggish, so are you--you don't have much energy, your eyes and hair may lose luster, you feel cold 'when the temperature doesn't war- rant it, and you may put on weight because of lack of activ- ity. If the thyroid gland is too ac- tive, the reverse is true. You have energy. You have so much that you can't sit still, but have the jitters and '"'nerves." You may have palpitation. There are a lot of symptoms, in other words, for too much or too little thyroid activity.

Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norkay crowned 'with success the efforts of the 13-man Brit- ish expedition led by .Col. John Hunt. Ten other ma- jor expeditions had prev- iously failed to scale the giant of the Himalayas and Hunt's team's victory was all the more notable because it came four days before the coronation of Queen Eliza- beth, and was hailed as the opening of a second Eliz- . abethan era., _ 1940 -- The evacuation of the British army from Dun- kerque began. * J... Phillips, given, or surgery may be the answer, removing part of the thyroid gland. Choosing the correct type of treatment for the individual case requires good judgment and careful evaluation of the patient's symptoms and circum- stances. As a simple example, you. don't decide that someone needs thyroid pills to pep him up when actually his trouble is that he is exhausted from too much straig.and work. Nor do you slow down the thyroid's ac- tivity because the patient is wrought up because of extreme personal problems. That's why the B.M.R. and P.B.I. tests, especially the lat- ter, are necessary to confirm a physician's observations. Thyroid (or metabolism) prob- lems are quite common. Some are severe and obvious; some are subtle and mild and diffi- cult to detect. Standard tests now are available for confirm- ing the facts. After that, treat- ment can be very effective. But some changes can occur. Within narrow limits, one can switch from over-active to un- der-active, or vice versa. If your doctor prescribes a certain treatment, don't think that's the answer forever. He will recheck you from time to time, so he an stop the treatment, or modify it, as your changing needs indicate. e The Hovercraft, said Mr. Jamer, might well meet some of the problems of. transport, particularly on the Bay of Fun- dy, where tides of between 40 and 50 feet are quite usual, and create difficulties in provid- ing berthing facilities for nor- mal type vessels. With the Hovercraft requiring only a sloping slipway on which to land from the water, its use would eliminate the necessity for expensive docking facilities. Asa result of the approach made by the Atlantic provinces office in London, Stanton Jones, one of the chief engineers of the Westland firm engaged in Hovercraft development, paid a visit to Nova Scotia, and made detailed studies of the tides and cross currents of the Bay of Fundy. As a result, it is like- ly that the Hovercraft which is now on demonstration in Can- ada will be taken down to that area and used for some trials there. SEVERAL ROUTES Mr. Jamer indicated that there were several possible routes on which the Hovercraft should be admirably adapted for both passenger and freight traffic. One of the most im- portant of these routes is be. tween St. John, New Brunswick and Digby, Nova Scotia, a very busy route, especially in the summer season. Other routes suggested as possibilities for Hovercraft op- eration were those from Parrs- boro, N.S., to Port William, N.S., and between' Yarmouth, N.S., to Bar Harbor, Maine. This latter route is very much over-crowdedi during the tourist season, and speedy passenger- carrying Hovercraft could ac- commodate many more people in a day than the normal steam- ers. Another suggestion was that Hovercraft could give a very useful service between Prince Edward Island and the main- land of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, particularly in the transport of the farm products of the Island to the mainland for shipments to markets in the United States and other provinces of Canada, While this project is still in the investigation stage, the au- thorities in Nova Scotia and other Maritime Provinces are satisfied that this new type of transportation, 'as developed by the British company, could render very valuable service to trade and commerce in that region of Canada.

I would like him to give the industry's argument on a num- ber of points. Among them are these: Is not "private" health insur- ance more expensive than pub- lic insurance? What percentage of private premiums is paid out in bene- fits and what percentage is paid out in public and semi-pub- lic plans such as the Saskatche- wan program and PSI? If the figure for private plans is lower (and there doesn't seem to be any question that it is) how much of the differ. ence is made up of sales ex- se? "How is this sales expense jus- tified in health insurance -- which today in our society is being recognized as a matter of right? What portion of the premium dollar goes to profit or capital accumulation? Can private companies pro- vide health insurance as cheaply as public or semi-public plans? If not why should the insurer in our medicare program not be a public or semi-public agency? PRIVATE EXPENSIVE? The controversy over medi- care is moving into the stage any strong rebuttal of this ar- gument, NEED JUSTIFICATION? As an individual I probably would like to see the private companies handling this busi- ness, but only if justified. And in their own best inter- ests it would seem time that both the industry and the gov- ernment presented this justifi- cation. The reasons why this is needed from the industry are obvious." = The government, of course, should. be prepared to defend its position. . Particularly so. when we recall that hospital insur- ance is. not handled 'by private insurers (and they were not seriously considered), and that Premier Robarts egmes from an insurance town and is close to the people in industry. Canada Permanent where the various sides are get+- : ting down to cases. And it is already apparent that the key point probably will centre on private versus public insurance. The..government has com- mitted itself to private compan- ies. The Liberals favor a semi- public insurer and the NDP wants an outright public plan. The government has not to date given any strong and de- tailed explanation of why it fa- vors private companies. The other parties give strong argument against them. They can show that a much greater portion of the premium dollar in public and semi-public plans is paid out than in priv- ate plans. And to date the writer, at least, has not seen MR, JACK W.

So it was startling to see the many uniforms. scattered among the 15 national delega- 'tions gathered in the House of Commons for the opening of the NATO Conference. . STUDY-OF BRASS HATS We take for granted our lib- erties, and our democratic gov- ernmental respect for the rights of the individual. How fortun- ate we are that we are not sub- jected to the unscrupulous bru- talities of a military dictator- ship. How wonderful it is that those who oppose the govern- ment have the freedom to stand up and express their disagree- ment -- and then can walk un- molested in the sunshine of Par- fiament Hill, instead of bein, thrown into the rat - infeste starvation of a Latin-American dungeon at the whim of a gen- eral! Yet for.this one occasion, our House of Commons was sprink- led with The Brass--the men who conceive and position wea- pons of mass destruction, the men whose job, whose honor- able job, it is to prepare to massacre perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow-humans. Maybe it would not be of their own choice that they would do"this if the order were to be given to them, Maybe they would only kill ene- mies of their country and of our country, But if my family is ever incinerated by a hydrogen . bomb, what comfort will it be that it was a Communist ag- gressor bomb, rather than an American deterrent bomb?

On their desks in front of them lay their symbolic brass hats, the uniform caps of the U.S., Britain and Belgium with their brass-encrusted peaks; the smark star-studded kepis of the French; the white-crowned caps of the navies of Canada and Por. tugal; the stiff olive-green ar- rogance of the German Reich swehr hat; the brassless green cap of the Danish Army; the pale blues of. air force caps, And on their breasts so much multi-colored ribbon that they outshone Joséph's coat of many colors. : All very impressive--and all very frightening in its signifi- cance, Would that they always sit sleepily in conference rooms, and never retire to their under- ground concrete fortresses to use red telephones and press blood-letting buttons!
