L, Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Little Planning Noted For Canada's Birthday The third annual meeting of the Canadian Centenary Council, held dn Montreal the other day, was at- tended by some three hundred 'people from all parts of Canatla, 'representing governments, com- 'panies and various organizations. 'The theme of the meeting was ""Biculturalism -- the basis of Cana- 'dian society," but reports were also 'presented on the progress of cen- 'tennial planning. The reports could 'scarcely be termed promising. : In March of this year, the Cana- 'dian Chamber of Commerce co- 'operated with the Centenary Coun- 'cil in sending out 2,500 question- 'naires to large and small corpora- 'tions across Canada. Few replied 'and even fewer said they were con- sidering or had decided upon cen- 'tennial projects. The Council mem- ber reporting on the questionnaires suggested it would "be fair to say that Canadian corporations have really given little thought to the Centenary to date." A survey of municipal centennial 'activity has been undertaken by the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities at the suggestion of the Council. The Federation's Ot- tawa bureau has sent out question- naires to 325 municipal govern- ments, including the larger and most of the medium-sized cities. The annual meeting heard that "at this date they have received ap- proximately 135 replies, of which 81 state that they have established official committees and 13 report unofficial citizens' committee of some kind . . . Though these re- turns are incomplete and final con- clusions cannot as yet be drawn, of the projects reported to date, only 14 appear to be officially plan- ned and adopted, and about 100 are under discussion." In other words, not very much centennial planning is being done by munici- palities across Canada. One might add that not very much planning is being done by provinces, and federal planning still seems to be at the organizational stage. At the rate of centennial pre- paration over the past couple of years, Canada's birthday celebra- tion four years hence will be a bomb. There may even be a few flags -- Union Jacks and Red En- signs, of course -- on display. 4 Three Pension Schemes Quebec's Premier Lesage, in answer to a question in the Quebec Legislature last month, said: "We intend to profit from Ontario's ex- perience and at the next session introduce legislation to establish a 'portable pension fund." Thus the two biggest, most populous provin- ces will have their own pension plans, apart from the proposals to "be but forward by the federal gov- ernment, There are obvious areas of dupli- *cation and possible disagreement between the provinces and Ottawa -on pensions, but there are no clues to the possible solution of prob- -lems thus created. - The Ontario scheme, upon which "the Quebec plan apparently will be «based, calls for a minimum stan- -dard providing very modest bene- 'fits. Its purpose is to provide a foundation for portability, but it : will apply only to "service rendered" son and after January 1, 1965 and -for workers 30 years old and over. 'That means, of course, that the standard plan will be operation for 'a substantial transition period Automation The word automation is occasion- tally used in describing situations ~ to which it doesn't apply exactly, » where mechanization would be more ~accurately informative, the Mont- «real Star points out.

The federal pension plan, as out- lined by Mr. Pearson during the election campaign, will be national, contributory, with full benefits be- coming payable after a transition period of ten years, It covers pen- sions for people who cannot find employment because of disability before reaching age 65, and for widows or orphans of employees who die before reaching pension age. To provide the benefits after only 10 years' operation of the plan, the federal government will have to provide a subsidy, either out of gen- eral revenue, or out of the fund itself by using the contributions of younger workers to cover payments to those moving into retirement. This arrangement will obviously in- fluence the existing plans, be they provincial or private. The minimum Ontario plan is not as attractive as the federal scheme, but some private plans may be more attractive, as long as their participants are not also taxed for the federal plan. Moves On proper orders. The pioneering instal. lations a management symposium on automation was told in Toronto, will be made in the steel, paper', and nuclear power generation fields. For the peace of mind of workers fearful of being replaced, the au- thority, Prof. James Ham of the Faculty of Engineering of the Uni- versity of Toronto, noted that appli- cation of computer control of Jarge process systems now made sense, because of the present cost, only in very large plants, where the basic investment runs into many millions of dollars. But less costly computer equipment will be evolved for this use, as it was for statistical uses. Dramatic progress within the next decade js to be expected. A step short of this sort of as- sembly, a complex of machinery able to think for itself, is the machine tool which will perform a series of operations in accordance with ins- tructions given to it by some form of stored information such as pun- ched tape. "One way of looking at this sort of development, which reduces in- dustry's dependence on human workers," says the Star. "Is to say that it is relieving drudgery. It is best suited to repetitive operations, obviously. But all the same, to tell a worker let out to make way for e machine tool that as a human be- ing he is too valuable to be doing things that a mechanical gadget can do would give him a wry sort of satisfaction, if any." 'HEY ME, "GUESS baba siics I PASSED!" REPORT FROM U.K. Scots Contribute Share Of Exports 3y M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times EDINBURGH, Scotland -- a report on a survey carried on by the Scottish Council (de- velopment and industry) over the past two years, shows that Scotland, in proportion to its population and its manufactur. ing industries, is contributing a fair share of the national ex- port. YOUR HEALTH The survey shows that over this period, Scotland has been selling between $1020 million and $1080 million of goods abroad, This amounted, says Sir Robert Maclean, chairman of the council's export commit- tee, to between eight and aine per cent of the British total of exports. "Scotiand' s proportion of manufacturing industry is, of course, between eight and nine per cent of the United Kingdom | Dosage Of Aspirin ~ Depends On Person By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D, Some time ago a reader with arthritis wrote that she had been taking 10 aspirins a day on her doctor's advice. She asked was it safe to continue? I replied yes. There was no reason to worry about that amount, What happened? A_ sharp- eyed reader noted that another doctor wrote a column about "reactions to aspirin," pointing out that people who are allergic to it can break out in a rash, or their ears might ring, or-- oh, the usual list of allergic an- noyances, Babies who eat a whole lot ef aspirin, mistaking it for eandy (which is why many of us persistently warn against candy - coated aspirin) may even die of it. Indeed, I believe this is the most frequent form of fatal poisoning in children, and it occurs, despite warn- ings, several times. a month in Canada and the United States. Well, I can see why a reader would wonder about seeing these two different answers, Which is right? They both are. The other fel- low is quite correct. But we have to use our common sense, have to acquire a_ certain amount of information and know how to apply it. I was asked whether a patient who regularly took 10 aspirins a day could continue to do so. I said yes, and meant yes, and there are many thousands of people who are better off for taking that much, I wouldn't want to frighten them into giv- ing up the medicine which is best for them. TODAY IN HISTORY By The Canadian Press June 6, 1963. The greatest military force ever assembled in history launched the inva- sion of Europe in the Nor- mandy landings 19 years ago today--in 1944, Allied armies smashed their way onto the beaches as paratroopers se- cured a grip further inland. The Allies' foothold was as- sured by the morning of the second day of the invasion, giving them the necessary purchase to begin fighting through Nazi-occupied Eu- rope to the eventual des- truction of the German ar- mies. , 1891--Sir John A. Mac- donald, Canadian statesman and a father of Confedera- tion, died. He was asked about '"'reac- tions." It's still true that for a few hypersensitive people, an aller- gic reaction can prohibit use of aspirin. By the same token, some people have hay fever: Others are allergic to eating eggs. Some break out in a rash from cutting the grass or work- ing around rose bushes, or from wool, house dust, animal dand- ers er almost anything else. If I were asked, "Is it health- ful to take walks in the coun- try every day?' I'd certainly say yes, But if this meant that a hay fever victim might walk into some ragweed, that's a bit different, isn't it? I know of a severe sufferer who inadvert- ently walked into a whole field of ragweed. In a minute or two he couldn't see and could hardly breathe, and could even have perished if he hadn't been led out of the field. If you are a rare one who is sensitive to aspirin, stay away from it. But if' you don't have any symptoms, don't worry about its normal use. Most of us tolerate it very well, and that's why aspirin is sold without pre- scription. It's a very remark- able drug, indeed. total," added Sir Robert. "T think this proves conclusively that encouraging industrial de- velopment in Scotland will bring its reward in terms of in- creased exports." WHISKEY LEADS WAY The survey brings out signi- ficant differences between Scot- tish exports and those of the United Kingdom as a whole. Forty-five per cent of Scot- land's exports were accounted for by whiskey and other bever- ages, together with machinery. In the United Kingdom as a whole, the biggest contributors to exports are machinery and motor vehicles. A statement from the Scot- tish Council, however, suggests ed that it could be confidently estimated that the present growth of the motor vehicle in- dustry in Scotland with its plans for large-scale export trade, should go a long way to- wards filling this gap in the Scottish export pattern. It could well produce an export perform. ance considerably better than that for the country as a whole. "This survey has been a most worthwhile exercise," said Sir Robert Maclean. "It shows quite clearly that firms in Scot. land are playing a key role in the drive to improve our na- tional export position." The survey also revealed those sectors of industry that would benefit especially from export encouragement. It points out that the clothing industry, some sectors of food manufac- ture and individual firms in the engineering industry could pos- sibly be helped to export more. TOTAL VALUE The total value of exports through the three main Scot- tish ports of Glasgow, Leith and Grangemouth was analysed by their destinations. This brought out the following com- parisons: Sterling area: $172.8 million or 29 per cent North America: $168 million or 28 per cent EEC Countries: or 16 per cent EFTA Countries: lion or 14 per cent Rest of the world: lion or 13 per cent It is significant to note that the breakdown for the whole of Britain shows that 37 per cent of the country's total exports went to the Sterling Area mar- ket, and only 14 per cent went to North America. $97.5 million $86.2 mil- $70.4 mil- BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Rev.

(CP) -- The Protestant high school { this town of 7,000 soon will oe. come a gradeless high school. A plan somewhat similar to the college credit system goes into effect at the opening of the next school year in September. School Principal James An- ave, 29, said, however, tle osemere plan will be more flexible than a college curricu- lum "because in high -- school you have a much greater vari- ation in pupil abilities and in- terests than in college." The school, with an enrol- ment of 600 in the school year now ending, serves the Protes- tant population of Rosemere and nearby communities along the St. Lawrence in Montreal's northern outskirts, Essence of the plan is that the pupil will have to acquire a OTTAWA REPORT minimum of 75 credits -- or "counts" as the school will call them--for a high school dip- loma, and will be allowed to ac. quire them at his own pace. The pupil will be required to attempt at least a 25-count pro- gram every year, But if he should fail in some of his sub- jects he will be able to repeat them while proceeding to more advanced work in the others. "There will be no such thing as promotion or grading," said Mr. Angrave. "Our aim is to keep each pupil in school until he has acquired the education suited to his capacity and In- terest." The non-graded plan replaces Grades 9 to 11. Like most other Quebec high schools, Rosemere High has no Grade 12. "It is possible, but not too liikely ,that some pupils will do it in less than three, In fact, Labrador Trough Exciting Region By PATRICK NICHOLSON CARROL LAKE, Labrador-- Exciting developments are con- verting this sub-arctic wilder- ness, barely three hours flying time from our capital, into Can- ada's most prosperous "boom frontier.' There is stil} ice on the ubi- quitous lakes and frost in the chill night air, Even midsum- mer will bring scant natural color to this forbidding land- scape. But the thick coating of light black spruce--"not even any good for firewood," com- plained a parka-clad engineer --conceal a treasure-house in rock and water. Nature created the Labrador Trough, running 750 miles in a southwesterly direction from Ungava Bay; for much of its length and its 40-mile width, it is a rich iron mine. Crossing the Trough is Canadas' least-- used big river, the Hamilton, which tumbles 4,000,000 unhar- nessed horse-power down its spectacular Grand Falls. Newfoundland's premier, Joey Smallwood, has suggested that soon the subways of Man- hattan will be powered from Grand Falls, A_ start has al- ready been made on the har- nessing of the Hamilton horses. Work starts on the Grand Falls project next year and the nearby Twin Falls are already powering the great complex of iron 'mines, pelletizing plant, construction work and modern homes based upon the iron ore in the Labrador. Trough. FIRST TRAINLOAD The first trainload of pellet- ized iron ore arrived at the ocean - going port of Seven Is- lands, Que., last week, What a spectacle, what a contrast, that provided. Four diesel engines hauled. the mile-long string of about 120 box cars into the modern dock where once a tiny fishing village stood. While night shift workers loaded the iron into 45,000-ton freighters, huge bonfires blazed on the nearby beach, where les Quebecois were cooking fish QUEEN'S PARK fresh from their nets for their midnight fry-up. The uncrowned king of this great iron ore development is John Doyle, president of Cana- dian Javelin Ltd., which owns the mineral concessions over a great swathe of the trough around Wabush Lake and Jul- ian Lake. Doyle, world sales- man of iron ore and probably the ranking authority on the qualities and processing of ore, is the son of the late Chris- topher Doyle, of Guelph, Before Doyle arrived on the scene, about three quarters of Canada's iron ore was mined on behalf of or by U.S, firms. But now the Canadian complex of companies operated by Cana- dian Javelin is dwarfing what has gone before. NEGOTIATING CONTRACT One contract which Mr. Doyle is currently negotiating would see a consortium of the leading steel companies in Japan buy tons of iron ore a 20 years, with options the amount to 10,- and ha -- the This is the shore sale of dollars. So immense and so nificant is this one deal, that it alone could slash between 15 and 20 per cent off our present deficit on international pay- ments.

HAVE BASIC PATTERNS As with university students, the high school pupils will have their individual timetables and will be able to choose their courses from seven programs, or patterns, of study. The seven are: College pre- paratory; business education; fine arts; music; industrial arts; home economics, and gen- eral. All programs will require three full courses in both French and English, and @ cer." tain number of courses in other academic subjects. A full course--designed te cover a year's work in a sub- ject--is given every day with homework, and is worth five counts. Some courses in optional sub- jects are given a fractional rat. ing, from one fo four counts, All pupils also will be re- quired to take at least five counts each in Canadian his- tory, mathematics and science, PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM There is an enormous spread between and listening.

See More Control For Milk Industry By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Government di- rection of the milk industry would seem to be getting close. In setting up an inquiry into the industry, as it has, the gov- ernment really can't have much hope of reaching a settlement of the many troubles from which it suffers. The greatest problem of all ternal conflict at its root. Jersey breeders fight Holstein breeders, the fluid milk men are against the processed milk men, the producers are against the distributors. ; There are so many opposing interests that efforts in the past to get the industry to straighten itself out have failed. FORWARD COURSE Only government direction, it seems, can set it on a steady, forward course. Such direction has been more than hinted at in the past. It is a step which the govern- ment, of course, is reluctant to take. Despite what some people think, the government is always reluctant to take on more con- trol. Aside from the fact that con- trol means more responsibility and more trouble, there are always people offended by con- trols, which means potential votes lost. In this case, with the many divided interests, there are a lot of people to be hurt, which means a great deal of trouble. And then the government par- ticularly shies away from of- fending farmers, for they can be the most troublesome dissi- dents of them all. And in this case, of course, many farmers would be affected. HURTING ECONOMY Despite this, however, Itt seems there is little choice. The milk industry is in such a mess mow that it is actually hurting the whole economy of the prov- ince. And there is no apparent al- ternative but for the govern- ment to step in. The milk inquiry therefore can probably be regarded as a ground breaker -- a step to smooth the way for the distaste- ful action the government even- tually will have 'o take. If the authorities here just stepped out on their own and distributors to do certain things, bof would meet terrible pro- St, But if they are following rec- ommendations of an independ- ent inquiry the sting will be much less.
