Q THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, November 28, 1963 ~GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- | Equalization |. OTTAWA (CP) -- The Pear- TOO MANY FOOD-HANDLERS ILL-TRAINED -- WATT Dr. J, E. "Ted" Watt, supervisor of Environmental Sani- tation for Oshawa, can speak with blunt candor on important Subjects, especially when the health of this City is concerned. Too bad more people don't listen to him, especially people with influence in public office. Remember three years ago? He abruptly closed the City's only two public swimming pools in mid-Summer because of 'what he termed "alarming and unsanitary health conditions existing therein" -- the bacterial count immediately outside these establishments frequented by hundreds of children daily was as high as that frequently found outside sewage di 1 plants. Dr. Watt, a Public Health veterinarian graduate of the Ontario Veterinary College, © Guelph, didn't receive any medal or public award for this preventative measure, He did get some abuse. Dr. Watt was. speaking out again with blunt candor Tuesday when he turned up s at a luncheon-meeting of the Civic Affairs committee of the Oshawa C of C. He said: Oshawa's 100-odd_ eating establishments for the public should be inspected at least once monthly, but many are inspected only once yearly-- the Provincial government R. "TED" WA' " " sd recommends at least one health inspector for each 15,000 inhabitants, but Oshawa (with a population of 65,000) has only two inspectors for such time-consuming, leg-jobs, although it will soon have three. (EDITOR'S NOTE: -- Oshawa has also but three police motorcycles on its Traffic squad -- plus two radar sets -- to enforce safety for a City of 65,000). There are too many people in the restaurant business in Oshawa who lack "proper training in food handling'. The restaurant business is unique in that it requires little prepara- tory training -- almost anyone can enter it overnight, as long es they have the money. Some restaurants are doing a good job, but they're in the minority. |son government, while delaying any overhaul of the tax-sharing system pending a study in depth, indicated Wednesday it will propose to the federal-pro- vincial conference Friday an in- crease in equalization payments starting next April 1, It is likely to work out de- tails of the proposal today while the conference leaves the cen- tral issue of fiscal relations to break up into committees on pensions, lotteries, health and welfare, the economy, and In- dian-Eskimo administration, The plenary session will re- sume Friday. It could be the last day. Prime Minister Pearson's statement came early Wednes- day, before detailed provincial views were canvassed from around the big oval table in the elosed conference room, A fed- eral source said there was 'PM Proposes Raise In Payments Financially, equalization ac- counts for a relatively small portion of the total fiscal ar- rangements -- about $150,000,- 000 this year. The main federal tax abatements on personal aid and corporation income tax and death duties, amount to more than $750,000,000, But great importance is at- tached to the equalization sys- tem. One federal official went as far Wednesday as to say that equalization "'is what Con- federation. is all about." 1 The effect of it is that part of the federal tax paid by a person in a "'have"--or wealthy --province--is funnelled by Ot- tawa into the "'have-not" prov- inces, to help finance their pub- lic services such as education, road-building, welfare and so on. Without it, some provinces would be far behind the'-rest of Canada in social progress, "very little apposition'? to the federal position on equalization.| |HERE IS OUTLINE | This appeared to be the main} import of the federal stand: | | 1, It is ready to reshape the} tax-sharing system, and recog- |nizs the provinces' needs: for more money -- especially for education. It pointed out that progressively-rising federal tax jabatements--to 18 per cent next |fiscal year--recognize these ris-| ing needs. But in the light of! current studies by tax commis-| sions, and the need for a full review of increasing costs of| provincial programs, nothing) lcould be done this week. | | 2, Meanwhile, the federal ZOvr| ernment believes firmly in} | equalization, necessary so all) |provinces can take care of their' jconstitutional responsibilities --| or more simply, so the prov- jinces can expect an approxi- mately equal amount of reve- jnues, on the basis of their pop- ulations.

INTERPRETING THE NEWS UN Pleased With -- Johnson's Speech By CARMAN CUMMING Canadian Press Staff Writer The United Nations was pleased, cautiously, with the first major policy statement of President Lyndon Johnson. Delegates called it hearten- oe, secon decisive, and that they hoped Johnson would succeed in his aim to "continue the forward thrust" that John Kennedy began--par- ticularly on civil rights. Kennedy's death caused deep shock and misgivings among a wide variety of UN diplomats, including some not known for their friendliness to the 'U.S. Some ore said they could not recall such a spontaneous ' and widespread fooling of sor-|Tesent an image of America we > \row since the deaths of Gandhi|ked very much, But at the lordtobeavelt, same time we knew that there m | were those in America who op- |\COULD BE TRUSTED posed that image.

Church groups catering for large banquets are 'a con- stant source of worry for health departments" because of large-scale outbreaks of food-poisoning in the past, he added; but such groups have been "highly co-operative" with the local Health Department in enforcing regulations. He would, es- pecially, like to see more education 'on such subjects as "Re- frigeration" and "Dish Washing". Many well-meaning people don't understand the importance of certain food-handling pro- cedures which, to them, appear mundane. Dr. Watt deplored "the frequent spectacle of badly- packaged garbage on City streets," despite a City bylaw that prohibits this sort of thing -- most disturbing of all to him is the spectacle of "'sloppy garbage" piled on downtown King street, especially by one large firm that sells garbage con- tainers. Regarding the dreaded Salmonellosis -- that contagious bacterial disease that is a serious intestinal infection -- Dr. Watt reports an increase locaily in the past two years in the number of reported cases. CEMENT PLANT OPTIONS 700 ACRES Speaking further of pot rial develop the immediate area of Oshawa: dial ind a s in The St. Mary's Cement Co., of St. Mary's, Ont., (with sales offices in Tor- onto) Wednesday completed options on five Bowmanville area farms extending south of the main CNR line to Lake Ontario as _ possible site for a new cement plant, The farms are in Bowman- ville Town and Darlington Township. The options cover a 700- acre site and final purchase will be subject to 'further soil test investigations to de- termine if suitable limestone is available for the manu- ge facture of cement." The announcement was WALTER PRANK made today by Walter Frank 'of W. Frank Real Estate, Bowmanville, who is the realtor in the transaction. The five farms are owned by Wilfred Car- tuthers, former mayor of the Town of Bowmanville; Norman 'Brown, Wilfred Allin, Cecil Bellman and Grant Symons. The construction of the cement plant would be a long- range planning affair subject to the above tests, Mr, Frank said, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CLARENCE COX! Remember Cox's Orchestra, so well known around Osh- awa im the 1920's with A. F. "Abbe" Cox, as leader, and the following children as members -- Florence on piano, Art on Drums, Frank on violin and Clarence on banjo? Such recol- lections seem of importance today, the 54th. birthday of Clarence Cox, who still plays banjo at social "do's", when he can get away from his arduous duties as City tax collector.
