86 King St. E., She Oshawa Gimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, JULY 23, 1963---PAGE 6 Proposal To Subsidize Job-Seekers Labor Minister McEachen's pro- posal that the federal government subsidize unemployed workers over 45 years of age is running into strong criticism. There is no critic- ism of the proposition that the older jobless need help, but there are strong doubts about Mr. Mac- Eachen's method. It could turn out to be a subsidy for low-wage employers, The quali- fications set out by Mr. MacEachren mean that his plan would cover men who find the most difficulty getting employment. The applicant, for example, must have been unem- ployed for six out of the nine months prior to Nov. 1, 1963; he must have exhausted his unemploy- ment benefits or be on unemploy- ment assistance; he must be be- tween 45 and 70 years of age. The picture that emerges is of a middle- aged man, unskilled. and conse- quently in.a low-wage bracket. Mr. MacEachen would reimburse employers of these men for 50 per cént of the: monthly wage, up to a maximum of $75 for a period of one year. Let us suppose that a man is hired under this arrangement .to work a 45-hour week at $1 an hour, the minimum in this area. This month he would work a total, prob- ably, of 207 hours, earning before deducions $207. Take $75 from that total, and we have $132, which works out to an effective rate, as far as the employer is concerned, of a shade more than 68 cents an hour. A brief prepared by the non-profit Canadian Economie Foundation at the request of the financial research branch of Ontario's department of economics and development notes other weaknesses in the plan. Firms would not be allowed to displace younger workers to make room for those over 45, but the older group is given a competitive advantage over younger workers, who would be required to pay part of the cost through taxes. And if the group over 45 are subsidized be- eause of their age, why not those' under 25 because of their lack of work experience? It could be argued that those betwee 25 and 45 with Critici iticized several children have a greater need for work and money than those with only two children or more and there- fore should receive a subsidy on the job. Seniority classifications in con- tracts and pension plans provide other difficulties, There would probably be layoffs when the subsidy ends--although the history of subsidies is that they become permanent burdens. The Foundation argues that the best way to help the jobless is to generate permanent jobs for them in an expanding economy. Many Canadian companies would be will- ing to expand if they could raise more capital. The first step, then, would be for the federal government to authorize the chartered banks to make unsecured loans up to $100,- 000,0000 to firm anxious to expand -and which«would employ one or more persons over 45 years of age. The loans would be repaid over a long-term period, but if the exper- ience of the Industrial Development Bank is an indication, about $1)- 800,000 would. 'not be recoverable, The government would therefore have to pay the banks this amount. Even if it were $1,500,000, that figure would be less than the gov- ernment's present estimate of $1,- 800,000 for the subsidy plan. The loss figure, nevertheless, is mislead- ing, the Foundation argues. In the first place the bank loans would have generated about $6 million in inte- rest. This would be paid out as dividends and interest, as well as in salaries to additional employees. Increased business and profits as the result of the expansions would generate new taxes which would still further reduce the anticipated loss, and possibly would wipe it out entirely. In this way, no basic economic principle would be violated -- and additional employees would not have been added to the government pay- roll. The McEachen plan would cer- tainly add appreciably to the Ot- tawa payroll, in iself a questionable and expensive way of reducing unemployment. President's Tax Plan Minister under-statement Finance Gordon = ut- tered the of the year when he described as "a little delicate" the situation created by President Kennedy's proposal for a new U.S. tax on American pur- chases of foreign securities. He re- acted swiftly, however, and during; the weekend was able to announce that as far as Canada was concern- ed, some full or partial exemptions would be made to the proposal tax. The announcement stemmed what had begun to look like a financial panic. There is no certainty, of eourse, that the U.S. Congress will approve the proposal, which has been criticized by finan- cial circles in the United States and has caused consternation in other eountries as in Canada Wi the exemptions, the tax should please Mr. Gordon, because it will help to do what he - had hoped to accomplish in the late lamented budget -- that is, limit US. ownership of Canadian busi- ness. The exemptions in the pro- posed U.S. tax would cover borrow- president's nowever, The Oshawa WILSON, as i 7 agers eng 425 University A mnt ntar 640 Cothcart Street, _ SUBSCRIPTION RATES ' Him, ings by Canadian provinces and municipalities in the United States but not stock transactions, which 'is ° what Mr. Gordon has wanted along. The possible effects of the Ken- nedy proposal on Canada should not blind us to the fact, however, that the United States has is own ser- ious payments problem. Its trade balance is satisfactory, but there is such a heavy flow of dollars out of the country, for private invest- ment, foreign aid and defence pur- poses, that there is a heavy over- all deficit. The strength of the dollar is threatened, just as -- and for much the same reasons -- the strength of the pound is threatened. And the U.S, dollar and the British pound are the two mainstays of the international financial structure. What is needed, clearly, is a new evaluation of the free world's finan- cial structure, with the aim of res- toring payments stability. It is doubtful whether one country, even the United States, can achieve this on its own. Bible Thought O Israel, thou hast destroyed thy. self; but in me is thine help. -- Hosea 13:9.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The fact that Britain's only Communist peer has not only taken his seat in the House of Lords, but has made his first speech there, in which he advocated 'the aboli- tion of that august body, has aroused some speculation as to the. attitude of some other peers towards attending the sessions of the House. Members of the House of Lords, for instance, are waiting to see if the newest peer, Viscount Alanbrooke, 43. year-old artist son of the late Field-Marshal Lord Alanbrooke, will join them on the red leather benches. He has not yet an- nounced his intentions In recent years, the ranks of the peers attending the House of Lords has been thinning. This is. largely because many of the peers now have to work for a living, and the amount of re. muneration they receive for at- tendance in the House of Lords would not compensate them for absence from their other work, Some two hundred members are on leave of absence PAY $10 DAILY The amount of remuneration paid to the peers amounts to $10 a day for each day they are actually. in attendance. This might enable some of the peers to augment their incomes, but they have never taken their seats A case in point is that of the Earl of Buckinghamshire. It is now some five months since he inherited the title from a dis- tant relative. But he has' never gone near the House of Lords. work He prefers to for the of $30 a wee Baron Fs lives in a Abinger g C house at Newcastle-on-Tyne also has an income of $30 a week, which he receives under a fam trust, Things. may change for him in five years' time, when he will inherit a sum of $75,000 Lord Hothfield, 46. when he Was known by his own name of Thomas Tufton, used to work as a laborer on a London building GALLUP POLL site, He 'lived in a bed-sitting- room in Chelsea.

Lord Birkett, the YOUR HEALTH Insulin And Diet Remain Necessary By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr, Molner; Must I con- tinue taking insulin when sugar has cleared up? I mean, uniess I eat things with sugar like ice cream, cookies, etc.--M.J. Yes, insulin almost . always has to be continued. The patient also should remain on a diet, although not a stringent or un- pleasant one Let's explain why this is so, even when "sugar has cleared up Diabetes is a disorder in which, something has gone wrong with the ability of the body to use sugar properly. The pancreas may not secrete as much insulin as is needed. (The degree varies a great deal in individual cases.), Insulin may be secreted but its action in the tissues is thwarted in some manner Thus giving insulin by injee- tion, supplements. what- ever' amount the patient's own pancreas provides, and helps the body use the sugar it ac- quires from food The insulin does not correct the basic defect in the pan- creas When urine tests no longer show sugar, it means that enough insulin is being added to balance the sugar in the sys- tem, with none left to "spill over" into the umne Most Americans Back Idea Of Co-Operation (World Copyright Reserved) BY THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION PRINCETON, NJ. -- Presi- dent Kennedy's renewed call for "interde; between Europe and the United States hen an over ondence inter king closely with ent in world affairs -- or would The Gallup Poll question 'and "Would it be better fer the United States to keep independ. ent in world affairs -- o rwould it be betier for the United States to work closely. with ether nations?"

He is so busy with this professional life that he simply has no time to go there. One peer, Lord Bagot, 68, who became the seventh baron of his line in 1961, lives in Aus- tralia, and has no. intention to move to Britain just for the privilege of sitting in the House of Lords. Another of the newer peers, 25-year-old Lord Kershaw of Prestwick, also finds it neces- sary to put business before poli- tics. He has just taken his final examinations in chartered ac- countancy, He intends to be qualified and settled in business life before he thinks of taking his place in the House of Lords. If you stopped takiag insulin, sugar would begin to build up again. Keep this in mind, too: You derive sugar from sources other than cake, cookies or other confections A little more than half of the protein you eat is converied into sugar by the processes of diges- tion, Vegetables can contain from three to 30 per cent glucose (a form of sugar), de- pending on the kind. Fruits commonly run from 16 :to 20 per cent, and some a littic more Dried fruits will run from 60 to 70 per cent, bread about 50 per cent, Hence you continue to acquire sugar. The body gets aloag per- fectly well if no ordinry sugar is eaten--and for gest results, a diabetic should never take Sugar, in the form of sugar in candy or used in cooking Except for that, it is usually possible to make the rest of the diet sufficiently liberal. It is. true that after insulin has been used for a time, it may be possible to reduce the daily dose, but it is still needed. Only in. rare cases can it be discontinued--these usually are mild, or even borderline ones, in which diet plus the diabetes pills can keep things under con- trol As a rule, when-a case has required reguiar use of insulin, you should expect to continue with it Dear Dr. Molner: What is amenorrhea, what causes it?-- Mrs, J.C.
