Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1963---PAGE 6 Control Agency Needed For Research In Space ; President Kennedy's dramatic Hroposal that the United States dnd the Soviet Union pool their mhoon-shot effort may have been dnly a propaganda ploy, or it may Have been made in the expectation that it would be rejected by the Russians. But if it was made with sincerity and if it is considered sob- erly and sincerely by the Russians, it could have immense significance, * Most scientists and economists, and a great many legislators, are deeply worred by the man-in-space race between the United States and the Soviet Union. The great cost of ng programs places a strain on the economy of even the most powerful industrial nation; it ab- sorbs an undue proportion of tax revenue, and helps to maintain taxes at a high level whch, in turn, impedes economic growth. It also absorbs money which could be put th better use in other fields of stience for the betterment of man's ebndition, and -- perhaps even more important -- it takes up the time of large numbers of scientists and technologists who are therefore not available for other and probably more pressing research work. In addition to all this, the ex- ploratory shots that must pave the way for a manned journey to the moon are filling space areas fairly close to earth with all sorts of debris. The big powers are, in fact, the litterbugs of space, and their space 'projects are already inter- ferring with work in allied science, such as astronomy. : Ideally, the solution would be to forget about space travel for a while. But that would go against man's nature. He has opened the door to space and now must go through it. The next best solution would be the formation of an international space agency, to co-ordinate and rationalize the projects now being undertaken individually by different nations. The Kennedy proposal would take the world a long step towards such a solution. Harsh Economic Lesson * Newly independent -- and gen- efally pitifully under-developed -- nations are finding out, slowly and painfully, that there is no magic wand that legislators can wave to g@btain economic progress; that tools, capital and skills are not sud- denly created by regulations; that wishing does not take the place of work. * Expanding on this point in The Freeman magazine, Paul L. Poirot writes that if economic progress ga few generation Bnited States were pow...Jss, as Mao Tse-tung or Nehru or Nasser or Castro is powerless now, to wave & wand of restrictionist legislation and thereby raise the level of liv- ing and abolish poverty among the people." - The reason why children, women and men no longer find it necessary in a free industrialized society to work from dawn to dusk six days or more a week, Mr. Poirot goes on, Interference The application of common sense and the drawing of a few simple inferences will bring most people to the conclusion that the federal gov- ernment has interfered in the affairs of both the Board of Broad- cast Governments and the CBC, the Montreal Star charges. The charge is based on "the conclusion that a Liberal government in 1954 blocked a recommendation of the CBC board of governors that it should establish a TV station in St. John's Nfid., and that a Liberal government in 1963 is again equivocating over a commendation by the BBG that the CBC should establish a station there." There is no CBC station in New- foundland. The privately owned CJON-TV is a CBC affiliate. But the Star notes: She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

The primitive, agrarian societies support all the people they can, but with high in- fant mortality and short life spans for all survivors. When savings can be accumulated, tools can be made and life's struggle eased. Concurrent with the growth of savings and tools and production and trade, incomes rise and medical practices improve, children stand a better chance of survival and men and women may live longer with less effort. "Not that savings ate accumu- lated rapidly or that industrializa- tion occurs overnight," says Mr, Piorot. "It is a long, slow process, And, in its early stages, the sur- viving women and children are like- ly to be found improving their chances as best they can by work- ing in factories and 'sweatshops'... Men will take their children and women out of 'sweatshop's as fast as they can afford it ... as fast as better job opportunities deve- lop ... as fast as the supply of capital available per worker in- creases." Charged "It is no secret to anyone that the president of the Newfoundland Broadcasting Company, which oper- ates CJON, is a close associate and friend of Liberal Premier Small- wood and the Hon. J. W. Pickersgill, the Liberal cabinet member from the tenth province. The people of Newfoundland have been putting two and: two together with the results which could have been ex- pected." The Star continues: "To make matters worse, the chairman and deputy chairman of the BBG, Dr. Stewart and Mr. Alli- son (who both concurred in ap- proval of the CBC application for a license last April) are now find- ing reasons to delay transmitting information asked for by the De- partment of Transport . pending some report on the future of broad- casting which is under preparation by a committee composed of Dr. Stewart himself, the President of the CBC, and of Mr. Jamieson who is president of the Canadian Asso- ciation of Broadcasters and doubles in brass as the executive of CJON. This obviously puts a fool's cap on the whole operation so far as the CBC license for St. John's is con- cerned, but perhaps explains the curious remark of "Mr. : Allison, when interviewed about that prob- lem, that his colleague, Dr. Stewart, was waiting to see which way the cat would jump. Who is the cat? The presumption in many New- foundland minds is that it is Mr, Pickersgill." Oshatwn Times YOUR HEALTH etch Ces, ame "WE'RE GOING TO HAVE COMPANY' ~ Prolonged Obesity Stretches Tissues By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What about removal of fat from the abdo- men by surgery? I have a tre- mendous stomach and it hangs down. I am 61 years old and in good health, I used to weigh 200 pounds but have lost more than 50, and am not fat eiswhere. Is the operation worth while at my age? My doctor has sug- gested it--MB Since your doctor has sug- gested it, if you want it done for cosmetic reasons, go ahead The choice is up to you, and I can't see that your age is much of a factor. These "aprons" of fat ar2 the penalty of prolonged, excessive obesity, and the tissues have been 'stretched to a degree that nature cannot correct now. Hence the surgery. It is not a simple operation because a great amount of fatty tissue with its myraid of blood vessels must be removed. How- ever, it is not a comparatively dangerous procedure either. The surgery will leave you with a side-to-side scar across the abdomen, but the result will be an improved figure and greater comfort and more ease in moving about. Removal of the "apron'"' is not @ substitute for weight reduc- tion. It is for correction of a condition in which plain reduc- ing no longer can get rid of the Gag. Dear Dr. Molner: I use sac- charine three times a day in my coffee but was told that "can- cer research" did not approve of this. What's your opinion?-- ML. .- Forget about the "cancer re- search" scare-story. No reliable cancer group opposes sugarless sweeteners in the amount that anyone would use them. QUEEN'S PARK i> ( (4 Dear Dr. Molner: My teen- age children consider ordinary drinking water out of style, They now are averaging 24 to 32 ounces of pop a day. Because we are. weight conscious, we have been buying only the low calorie type. This I presume is sweetened wth sugar substi- tues. Is there ay harm in, teen- agers drinking such beverages? What is the limitation, if any? -- CONCERNED PARENT. No particular limitation, for health reasons, except that it's not good to pamper the palate so that everything has to be flavored or sweetened. That can be part of the hab:. of over- eating! For that reason I'd stop buying so much pop. Brant Area Seats Offer Challenges By DON O'HEARN BRANTFORD--The area cen- tred on this city has been get- ting a lot of attention in the final days of the campaign. Liberal Leader John Winter- meyer.held one of his last meet- ings here, and Premier Robarts has it scheduled for his last stop out in the. province. Both leaders undoubtedly have had their eyes on four seats in the general area. One of these is Brantford it- self, and the others are Halton, Waterloo South and Oxford. The seats, two held by Lib- erals and two by PCs, are con- sidered open to change. GORDON VETERAN Brantford possibly is the least open. George Gordon has held it BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Residents of East Whitby Township petitioned for a side- walk for North Oshawa, Joseph White of Charles street Oshawa, celebrated his 90th birthday. The Oshawa _ Regimental Band, under the direction of Bandmaster J. Broadbent, pre- sented its final concert of the summer season at the McLaugh- lin Bandshell. Sammy Pank- hurst, local boy soprano, accom- panied by Matthew Gouldburn, was guest soloist. The public health nurses re- ported 16 cases of acute com- municable disease in the city during the month of August. The new Corvette, HMCS "Whitby" was launched at Mid- land Shipyards Limited. Whitby officials who attended the cere- mony were Mayor Fred Rowe, Town Clerk John R. Frost, F. J Mcintyre, J. H. Ormiston, An- drew Muir, Peter Draimin and Warren Mowat. A capacity crowd attended the General Motors War Veterans Club concert in the OCVI audi- torium. The program was di- rected by Percy David. Rev. George Telford was elected acting chairman of the Oshawa Public Library Board to fill the vacancy left by Har- vey W. Knight, who was ap- pointed inspector of publie schools for Grenville County. Harvest Thanksgiving ser- vices were observed in the First Baptist Church with the minis- ter, Rev. John Marshall preach- ing the sermons. Ernie Cay, formerly first vice- president of the Oshawa Ki- wanis Club, was chosen presi- dent for the balance of the year, to fill the vacancy left by the late W. E. Babe. Norman Candler, of Whitby, gave his 16th blood donation at the Ajax Clinic. A. E. O'Neill, principal of the OCVI, made a strong plea for greater appreciation of academ- ic education in pyeference to "training for jobs". The Oshawa Kiwanis Club sent three deiegates, Frank Mc- Callum, vice-president of the club, Keith Gahan and Alex Ross to the 25th annual Kiwan- ian District Conference at Ni- agara Falls, Ont.

And there is a feeling by the PCs that he might be Slipping and that they can-upset him. Their chances of an upset may be better in Oxford, however, This next-door riding has been close between the Liberals and the PCs for years, Gordon Innes, the young farmer who has held it for the last two terms, only won it by 216 votes in the last election. And it is wide open fighting ground. HALTON LIBERAL? In Halton the Liberals hope to upset the PCs, The riding has been vacant through the death' of the late Stanley Hall. The Liberal standard-bearer is Mayor Owen Mullin of Bur- lington. Mr. Mullin ran against Mr. Hall in the 1959 election and cut his majority way down. ' This time the Grits feel he will make it. The most interesting seat of them all, however, is Waterloo South. In the last 30 years the Galt- Preston seat has been held by all three parties. _ Ray Myers, now retired, took it for the PCs in the last three elections but it also has been Liberal and CCF (twice), And all parties have good candidates. The PCs are run- ning the mayor of Preston, Alan Reuter, the Liberals have the defeated: federal member Arthur White, and the NDP an aggressive Galt business man, Max Saltsman, _It could b one of the closest fights in what looks like a close election. Ask OTTAWA REPORT ~ Notes Of Caution Should Be Heeded By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The federal gov- ernment's plan for contributory pensions is causing more storm than even its checkered budget. Led by insurance company ex- ecutives, financial circles are damning the plan which is so staunchly. advanced by Health Minister LaMarsh. "They are Paul Revere-ing all across Canada," complained Hon. Judy LaMarsh. And that sentence, which so typically exemplified Miss La- Marsh's quick wit, inadvertently hits the nail on the head. For our history books tell us clearly that Paul Revere was not giving a false alarm on his famous midnight ride through the countryside. He *was warn- ing his fellow-citizens of a real danger to their security. And so, I believe, Miss La- Marsh's Paul Reveres of today are warning us of a very real danger to our country's eco- nomic security. ' INSTANT SECURITY Pensions and amnuities are not new. They have been a fam- iliar part of the savings pro- gram of this country and all other industrialized naticns for a long time. This long favored a. method of providing for old is based upon the sound pt ple of small annual savings being accumulated over many years, and being progressively invested to earn interest. . This practice is called fund- ing; and the funds thus accu- mulated are sufficient to pay the pension when it becomes needed, But the pension ee now pro- posed by Miss LaMarsh as the major part of the Pearson gov- ernment's social welfare pro- gram is something quite differ- ent. Instead of accumulatng funds, it would operate on the pay-as-you-go principle. The monthly contributions by workers would not be invested to provide their own future pen- sion; instead, they would be re- distributed at once as pensions to people already over the re- tirement age. And your old age pension would not come from your savings; it would be pay- able monthly out of taxes col- lected at that time from your children and from your gramd- children. This millstone, which you would thus hang around the necks of-your grandchildren, would grow and grow year by year. Miss LaMarsh denies that READERS' VIEWS CONCERN FOR FUTURE Dear Sir: It was back in high school that I first became interested in this country of ours, and the people as a whole. 1 began asking questions of my father, about politics, politi- cal parties, and the part they play in the progress of our na- tion. He answered thus: "This is, and ever increasing- ly will be, a very important part of your life, one you should dis- cover, explore thoroughly, and then evaluate yourself. "You must ascertain the value and standing of each party, watch their progress over the years, then, when you are old enough to vote, you will not ask 'Whom shall I vote for?' "You will have taught your- self which party holds within it the ideals and values you most want for yourself." I found over the years of watching that too many people have little interest in the way the country is rum. As long as they are working and have enough to eat, they do not even vote. These people .must be made to realize that it is the uninterested person who is re- sponsible for countries being overrun by Communism today. The future of "Our World" is not just the space of time allot- ted to us as individuals, but goes on for future generations. This is the world we wish to make more sound and secure. As a mother of three, I want better education facilities for my children and still better facilities for their children. I do not believe a_ parents' responsibility is only imme- diate. Far more than that. It is laying a sound foundation, of a better future, for them, their children, and by our example, for all children of the world. I do not mean better schools but the right to attend them, right from the junior grades through university. How many brilliant minds Canada has lost through "lack of funds"'. I believe that the health of a nation is a government respon- sibility, not only in the building TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 24, 1963... Six boxes of gold bullion worth $215,000 were stolen ll years ago today--in 1952 --from an unguarded build- ing at Malton Airport near Toronto. The gold, awaiting air shipment to Montreal, was never found but inves- tigations indicated it had been flown in a private air- craft to New York. It was then believed to have been smuggled to Hong Kong and eventually to Communist China. 1916--The Krupp works at Essen, Germany, were bombed by the French, 1947 -- Twelve men died when the steamer Milverton and the tanker Trans!ake collided in the St. Lawrence River. £ A 1OT "The Best in the House" end wie ate Oar oom OO rowel fs cr has (meee BO 8 omer oon some emacs Cone WO mms taauy Oven (cam er eet raat Can Boe oroarein wae e Canadian oo. seer BOTTLED IN BOND of hospitals, but in making it possible for the treatment of in- dividuals in any walk of life, as their right as human beings. Many people tend to disregard this issue today, because they have hospitalization, and so are the "safe group", But stop for a moment, and consider the group without the earning power to achieve hospitalization. With one serious illness these families can be wiped out fi- naftcially. What of the chronical- ly ill, such as the diabetic, who must at all times have insulin on hand. Why should a mother have to neglect her children's teeth for lack of funds, or people remain ill for lack of drugs, or the aged lack care because their pen- sions cznnot possibly cover sick- ness? Health is, and should be, the right of all men. In a country as rich as ours, people should not go hungry, or want for clothing and reason- able living quarters, but they do, All men should be able to earn enough for their families' needs. Work could be plentiful if our government. had vision and the drive to carry out a more pro- gressive policy. The word pro- gress brings us back to educa- tion. More and more we find that the future holds. work for only the educated mind. And if we' are going. to compete in the world today, education is not a ane anymore, but a neces- sity. I believe that people in gen- eral are mo longer fooled by "before election" promises, promises that wither in size, or become totally dead after the election is over. I believe that the older parties have had the power long enough to show their worth, and have left too much undone. After close study over the years, I believe the New Demo- cratic Party is the only party that can make Canada stand on its own feet and compete as an equal in the world today. MRS, E.

Probably 65, or perhaps earlier. But the pie-in- the sky LaMarsh pension of $176 is not payable until age 70! There will be a grave loss to our natioaal economy thr largely ending the accumulation of pension funds. In past years, these funds have provided badly needed capital, to build new plants which in turn offer more jobs, and especially to permit through mortgages the building of new homes for Canadians. Without this source of mortgage money, fewer new homes will be built, and fewer jobs will be available in the building indus- tries. These are some of the criti- cisms, which suggest that the warnings. of those modern-time Paul Reveres should be taken as seriously as they have been given. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Baldness is a cure for dan- druff; a cure for baldness would be a miracle. A man and his wife are bound to fuss when he's trying to risk losing a friend by winning an argument with him, That the U.S. and Russia will co-operate in meteorological Studies is only a small step to- wards more amicable relations between the countries; as wea- - ther is the one subject virtually everybody agrees on, A Soviet scientist's call for volunteers for experiments he believes will increase the life span to 150 years will likely be ignored, as it is doubted if there are people who w want te live to that age in Russia. "The modern Canadian suf- fers from a gine of anony- mity,"" says a sociologist. It's not strange that he should, as his governments and those he does business with have him identified individually by a spate of numbers. "Old age is nothing more than a bad habit," says a health cultist, It's a bad habit that Should be avoided, as the death rate among those with this habit is rather high.
