alg ii She Oshawa Times "Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1963---PAGE 6 Ground Has Been Lost In Battle For Reason The tumult and the shouting die; the captains and the kings depart... John F. 'Kennedy and the man police say killed him are both in "their grave. The man accused of "appointing himself judge, jury and '-executioner of the suspected assas- 'sin will go on trial for murder one : of these days..A new president has taken on the terrible burden of res- ponsibility in the White House. And as the shock of the horribie deed in Dallas wears off, people ask themselves, "How could it happen?" And more often than not, there is an unspoken question: "Are we all somehow to blame?" The unspoken query should be heard. And each one of us should 'tery to give the honest answers. " When Oswald-was shot, how many of us said, "Shooting's too | good for him," and how many of (us said, "It is a terrible thing to 'kill any man; it is a terrible thing 'to bring justice down to the level 'sof the gun"? How many of us have a sneaking admiration for the | simple but violent solutions to prob- 'tems found in the nightly parade of television drama? How many of us would feel remorse.if an assas- sin's bullet felled someone like Khrushchev? Honest answers would undoubtedly reveal that for many of us, perhaps most of us, reason lies like on thin coat of paint over an ugly mess of primitive suspicion and ugly erao- tion; that' a great deal of potential violence is restrained by an vn- certain barrier of civilization. Just as the brutal, senseless murder of John F. Kennedy took something from each one of us, so did the killing of Lee Harvey Oswald make us smaller people. In John Donne's immortal phrase, no man is an island; the bells that tolled for John Kennedy tolled for all of us. There were no bells for Lee Oswald, but the manner of his death weakened the restraints on violence. It is not enough to mourn or to indulge in bitter might-have- beens. We have ground to regain in the struggle towards a community of reason. And that ground can be gained only by our own individual effort and dedication. Silly Fight Over Word Mayor Charlotte Whitton of ' Ottawa said recently that Can- | ada's Centennial must capture world attention. Her Worship needn't worry, says gays the Hamilton Spectator. "It is probably doing that already. The world is being treated to a non- sensical battle of semantics which 'must make many nations wonder what centennial we are celebrating. "With the golden year of 1967 getting disturbingly close -- in view of the preparations required for such a mammoth undertaking -- the politicians still haven't reached agreement whether we are com- memorating the 100th birthday of 'The Nation' or of 'Confederation'. "In the light of the more urgent political business confronting the nation -- or, should we say, Con- federation? -- we find the wrangle small-minded and picayune. "In desperation, we suggest that the honorable members in Ottawa forget all about prefixes and ap- pendages. And just call the centen- nial -- 'The Centennial.' "Otherwise, if the present rate of bickering continues, Canada will be celebrating a centenary of Nothing." And so say all of us. Taxes Reveal Pattern Taxation statistics released by the Department of Revenue reflect the changing patterns of Canadian life. The number of Canadians in the middle-income bracket, for example, has been increasing rapidly, while the number in the lower-income bracket has shown a marked decline. -At the same time, tax rates have -been increasing, so that the average tax payment has risen considerably. In 1961, the most recent year for 'which an analysis is given in the annual review, there were 1,852,000 persons in the $4,000-$10,000 in- 'come bracket -- an increase of 788,- 000 from five years before. But in -that same period the number of 'persons in the under-$4,000 bracket declined by 263,000 to a total of 2,495,000. In all, from 1956 to 1961 the number of Canadians who paid per- sonal income tax increased from 3.9 million to 4.5 million, their total payments climbed from $1.3 billion + to $1.9 billion, and the. average »amount of tax rose from $321 to '$423. Since the total of personal ' income taxes paid last year was 'nearly $2.3 billion it. is likely that ' the average is now close to $470. .*° The new report on taxation sta- 'tistics also shows substantial in- creases in the number of persons in the higher-income brackets, al- She Oshawa Sines T.

From 1956 to 1961 the number of Canadians in the $10,- 000-$25,000 income bracket rose by 67,500 to 141,300, and the number in the over-$25,000 bracket by 7,200 to 19,300. Though they were few in number, only 3.5 per cent ef the total, these $10,000-and-up earners paid nearly one-third of the total tax. The fact that may surprise most of the middle-income group, the $4,000-$10,000 earners, is that they paid nearly half the total. A long-standing criticism of the system. of progressive tax rates is that it penalizes initiative, and cer- tainly in Canada the tax bite out of additional earnings goes up very quickly and starts at a relatively low level of taxable income. For instance, pass the $4,000 mark and the tax rate is 22 per cent. on the next $2,000 of income; pass $6,000 and it is 26 per cent on the next $2,000; pass $8,000 and it is 30 per cent on the next $2,000; and at $10,000 it is 35 per cent on the next $2,000. Other Editors' Views SHOULD BE SHOCKED (London Free Press) Canadian consciences should be deeply disturbed by the shocking report of illness, death and unspeak- able housing conditions affecting an Eskimo community on the coast of Hudson Bay. It is difficult to believe that these people, our north- ern neighbors, have been permitted to exist in such squalor where they are supposed to be wards of the federal government.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Sir Ra'ph -Per- ring, Lord Mayor of London; the ther day officiated at a founda- tion stone laying ceremony of more than usual significance. As he did so, he placed a sealed canister into the foundation stone of what will be a sky- scraper block of residential apartments. In the canister were copies of newspapers, coins: and other records of 1963 which, it is thought, might be of great interest to archaeolo- gists around the year 4000 AD. The real significance of the laying of this foundation stone by London's Lord Mayor was that it symbolized the real start of the long awaited $90 million residential scheme planned for the area known as the Barbican. And this large area is one of those demolished by enemy bombs and left as heaps of un- sightly rubble in. the second world war. It is possibly the only large area in the heart of YOUR HEALTH London which has not yet been redeveloped to raise new and modern buildings on the ashes of the old. NEAR ST. PAUL'S The Barbican area lies to the north and west of St. Paul's Cathedral, and it was deva- stated in the mammoth air raids which occurred during the week- end between Christmas, 1940 and the coming of the New Year of 1941, Although most of the debris and rubble had been cleared away, for more than 20 yeans this has stood empty, with the broken walls of shattered buildings rising to the skyline. It has, taken several years to develop a complete plan for re- building this area. But gradu- ally the plans have taken shape and eventually the old Barbican will become something of a self-contained residential unit, with all the amenities, such as theatres, public halls, schools and other facilities essential in a modern community. Phase One of the Barbican plan -- the public service build- Bags Under Eyes May Be Harmless By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D, Dear Dr. Molner: Many peo- ple write to you because their doctors' will not ta'se the time to answer the questions. What to the doctors ma_ seem silly may be something the patients continue to worry about. I have very dark circles un- der my eyes and sometimes puffiness or "bags." Can you explain these?--Mrs. W.M.G. You're right. Lots of people worry needlessly because their doctors haven't explained a con- dition. My sympathy goes to both--to the patient who wor- ries, and to the doctor who would gladly do the explaining but he doesn't have the time. This is not, as some people think, a matter of money. Well, yes, I suppose some doctors are money-hungry, but this is true of some people in any walk of life. But most doctors have a high sense of duty, and a recog- nition that their special training carries a responsibility as well @s recompenses. How do you weigh dollars in fees against being awakened by telephone calls several nights in a row, -at 3 a.m.? Maybe most calls are pointless, or pan- icky, but you don't dare ignore the phone, because some of them will be urgent. See what I mean? Anyway,.I know but few doc- tors who don't have more than they can do. I know precious few who wouldn't like to go home, like everybody else, in the evening and relax. But there is such a need for medi- cal attention that most "office hours" don't end at 5 p.m. but go on after that -- plus night calls, and so on. And that may be one reason why doctors don't "answer questions." So much for my 'apologia. But I fondly hope that I can do a service to both doctors and patients by explaining in' my position some of tl.e 'questions that arise. When the same ques- tion comes up. often, I can an- Swer it once (or maybe a few times. The doctor in private practice can't answer more than gne patient at a time. So let's talk about "bags un- der the eyes." We have some loosish skin be- low the eyes. If, for one or sev- eral reasons we accumulate more moisture in the system than we need, some of it settles here. A common example is at the menstrual period. If we gain weight, then lose it, we may have some stretched skin there. More "bags." We may have skin texture or color which makes the "bags" more obvious. The ha bitual-hard drinker may become flabby and his metabolism may be changed and he can have "bags under the eyes.' But a_per- fectly healthy person may have them, too, with never a bit of alcohol. "Bags under the eyes," often have no relation to health. Ob- viously tie run - down booze- fighter can't point to his bleary and baggy eyes and say this means he's healthy: But neither should a person with naturally soft skin think that the bags mean he isn't healthy. In fact, "bags under the eyes" have about as little gen- eral significance as the "coated tongue" that our mothers and grandmothers used to think was so important. TODAY IN HISTORY Nov. 27, 1963 ...

This will be the highest block of apartments in London, and will be more than twice the height of the tall Nelson's column in Trafalgar Square, Other blocks of apartments in the Barbican will be of a more modest size, and will be 11 stor- eys high, Altogether, 629 new homes are being provided in this part of the redevelopment scheme, and 120 of them will be in the tall towers. Connecting them will be a sys- tem of elevated walkways, and there will be garage space for over 600 cars, partly in tiers built below the walkways. The scheme also includes new build- ings for the City of London School for Girls, with a gym- nasium and a small swimming pool, Some of the flats in the 11- storey buildings will be ready for occupation by 1965, but the second phase, that of the tower- ing Seed blocks, will not be completed until th i bet the middle of When the whole scheme is completed, the new Barbican will be the most modern and impressive residential area in the whole of London. OTTAWA REPORT Automation Calls cage For Co-Operation Wa? f / By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Automation. has been described as a blessing-- because it will introduce ma- chines to do much of the heavy, dirty, unskilled and monoton- ously-repetitive work in indus- try; because it will create more pleasant, better - paid, skilled jobs; because it will bring a shorter work week and greater leisure; because it will raise the standard of living here and throughout the. world, But automation has also been described as a curse--because it BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Noy, 27, 1938 Oshawa relief lists declined 42 per cent in six weeks when the number of families were cut from 1,027 to 596. H. J. Carmichael, general manager of General Motors of Canada, presented 28 GM work- ers with St. John Ambulance awards jn recognition of having completed courses of study in prevention of accidents. A. E. O'Neill, principal of OCVI, announced the enrolment at the school in October was 1,424, For the first time in the his- tory of Oshawa, a Santa Claus parade and reception was held. St. George's Anglican Church carillon bells joined in the wel- come, Miss May Dillon opened the annual bazaar of the Centre Street Home and School Asso- ciation. Lyman A. Gifford, Warden of Ontario County, presided at the final session of County Council for the year, at the Whitby Court "House, L. F. McLaughlin, president of the Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce, was re-elected to the executive. of the Ontario Associ- ated Boards of Trade and Cham- bers of Commerce at a meet- ing of that organization in Toronto. Byron S. Edmondson was in- stalled Worshipful Master 'of Cedar Lodge, AF and AM No. 270 for the coming year. Reginald Geen, Edouard Bart- lett, George Rapley, John Perk- ins and C.

But the will destroy the jobs of those workers who now perform those heavy, dirty, unskilled and mo- notously-repetitive tasks. Obviously the essential factor in this equation is that automa- tion should create, directly and indirectly, more jobs than it de- stroys. Otherwise it will indeed be a curse, Economists reason that auto- mation will permit an over-all increase in production. It will therefoye create more wealth, and more wealth in turn can create more jobs, END DRUDGERY But such new jobs will be very different from many of those which now provide work- ers with their livelihood. The so- phisticated new machines will replace large numbers of to- day's unskilled workers. But skilled workers will be required to build those new machines, to work with them, and espe- cially to maintain them. This reasoning obviously im- Plies that, if we are to reap the maximum benefits from auto- mation, we must ensure that our work force receives the ap- propriate training to fill those increasingly technical jobs. We must no longer graduate large numbers of unskilled workers workers into our work force, ei- ther from school or through im- migration. As an example of the effect of automation on the work force of a plant, I quote the case of a Western Canada. company which produces a common ma- terial used in building. Unauto- mated, that plant employed 80 production workers, each earn- ing $90 a week. With the intro- duction of automated machin- ace in automation is the crea- tion of new jobs in maintenance. Forty such workers, each earn- ing $110 a week, had to be added. Automation increased output by an amount equivalent to the production of 10 workers in the pre-automation plant. Thus the introduction of auto- mation destroyed 70 out of 90 production jobs; but it created in their place 40 better-paid and easier jobs for workers with appropriate training, It also added one-quarter to the num- ber of work-hours in the produc- tion of the plant machinery, Au- tomation would permit a reduc- po in the cost of the product, TIME FREED So much for the direct ef- fects. Indirectly, automation will create more jobs elsewhere, by putting extra money in the pockets of the maintenance workers, and by saving money for the buyers of the products: All these will be able to af- ford better homes and food, more and better clothes, house- hold equipment, entertainment and holidays. More jobs will be created in all these fields by the increased spending power. Fi- nally, the rising demand for new homes, new schools, new hospitals and more exports might actually cause the plant to expand production by ing to its work force. The key to the new regime of automation will lie in ¢o-opera- tion between labor, manage- ment and government in plan- ningor the new conditions. The essential fact in this co-opera- tion must be the provision and the full utilisation of training in the new techniques, This will be in part in technical schools, with an increase in apprenticeship and on-the-job training, But before this can be achieved, all Canadians must fully understand the need for learning new skills. Labor, Management and government will then be able to co-operate, to ensure that automation will be a blessing and not a curse. READERS' VIEWS FLUORIDATION MEETING Dear Sir: I attended the meeting on fluoridation held in the Council chambers in Whitby on Novem- ber 14; and was amazed when I read the report of the meeting by your reporter in the Oshawa Times. I was not asleep, far from it, nor am I deaf, but I heard no boos or cat calls, and 'I concluded that your reporter either had hallucinations or - wanted to make trouble. The speakers on this occasion all got a very good hearing and the questions after were most interesting. I could not under- stand, however, how any 'intelli- gent person' could object to out- siders having a chance to ex- press themselves, as I have al- ways believed that we can learn so much from the experiences of others and make the neces- sary changes. Your reporter got mixed up when he quoted Mrs. Beulah Sturgess as saying "'she blamed a recurrence of a bladder con- dition on fluoridated water'. What I heard her say was "she had tried to use - fluoridated water but her condition became worse after drinking it and she was forced to buy well water and her condition and allergies improved". LILLIAN MELVILLE Whitby DISTRIBUTION Dear Sir: This way of distribution is what I want to argue about, as I do not think we are getting it done to the best for all, as a lot of business nowadays gives it out like this: a prize of a car maybe this week, a thousand dollars next, or you might drink a bottle of pop and under the cap there you have it, you're rich. If the government and every- body gave back our distribution in this way by drawing a ticket to see who was lucky, where would all us fools end? And they will keep us there unless we rise to fight back. Do they do these things to keep down_ ing tax? Now I know in a free ite you can give or take, but it seems to me there are other ways to equal things out which would build a better society, Each man likes to run his own business in his own way, but when one thinks there is a better way, he looks and asks others what they think. Would it not be better if they sold their goods a little cheaper. As j see it, that would spread. the crumbs, and that is one thing that keeps little birds happy and peace on earth... I may be wrong, but I hope I am right. Anyone who can en- lighten me on this is welcome, as I am not out to be boss. ORA DOBSON Oshawa 491 RITSON RD.
