She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St, B., Oshawa, Ontario 'L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1964--PAGE 6 Governments Could Take Drastic Smoking Action 'The report on the effecta of amoking, issued a few days ago by the United States aurgeon-general, ia a blockbuster, It seems that amoking in general, and cigarette amoking in particular, contributes to a great variety of the ills that afflict mankind; it shortena life as well as breath, helps to harden ar- levies, assist cancerous growth and #0 OR, The report has been given a lot of publicity and haa inapired predic- table comments from doctors, poli- ticians, tobaceo growers and manu= facturera, Not quite in the pattern waa the reaction of the Ontario doctor who ia also a-tobaceo grower}; he atoutly defended the product of his soll, But predictable, too, was the general reaction of smokers: Rither a reluctance to accept the findings ae conclusive or a display of a display of "take a chance" bravado, There are renewed demands that "the government" do something about amoking, In the United States the something may well be the setting of strict rules to govern the form and matter of tobacco adver- tiaing, In Canada, the federal gov- ernment has already allocated $600,000 for an educational came palgn, . ' Thede's not much point in trying to legislate gaainat amoking itself; that would be about as effective as trving to legislate against over= eating --- and over-eating is prob: ably aa bad for the health as amok= ing. If the governments of Canada and the United States really want to take effective action, however, they can; they can ban the growing of tobaceo, or they can make tobacco an extremely coatly product by tax ing it even more than they do now, It's extremely doubtful if they 'will take auch heroic measures, There are too many jobs, too much trade, and too much tax revenue involved, In Canada, for example, while the federal health department ia preparing to launch an educa tional campaign against emoking, the trade department is busy pro- moting sales of Canadian tobacco and the agriculture department is buay helping farmers grow. the atuff, In any case, now that the possible dangers of smoking are being so widely publicized, is not this a matter for individual decision rather than atate action? Attracting Immigrants It has not been officially acknow- ledged for a long time in Canada, but the truth is that if this country ia to attract sufficient immigrants the government has to get out and aell, commentator C. J, Harris notes: That fact has been recognized by tmmigration Minister Guy Favreau, who haa recently opened immigra= tion offices In Madrid and Cairo, plus an experimental office in Beirut, In addition, states the Minis- ter, two new offices will be open- ed in France, and the aim ia to bring Into Canada in 1964 more than 100,000 immigrants, This country, the Minister told the Commons in reporting all this, needs young skilled workers and entrepreneurs with the capital and experience to operate their own enterprises here, Far from taking jobs away from Canadians, he said, these immigrants would help to oreate jobs for unslikilled persons, Tt may seem odd that Mr, Fav- yea must continue to justify his poliey, but he is thoroughly exper- ienced in politics; That he has more than a working knowledge of econ- omies. ie indicated by his recogni- tion of the fact that immigration ean contribute to a more pros- peroua nation, but that the kind of people we need have to be sold on coming here, 'World Money' Studied Two atudies of internat jonal liqui @ity "world money" used to finance temporary imbalances in the flow. of trade and investment among nations -- are now under way, One is being conducted by the deputy finance ministers of the ten industrial nations Enked in the 1961 Paris Agreement, and the other by the staff of the International Mone- tary Fund, The studies are neces. sary beoAUse Some Rew arrange- ment is needed to help accommo- date economic growth and an in- ereasing volume of world trade; the strains on the American dollar and the British pound are becoming too great Countries have two kinds of liquidity: the reserves of gold antl foreign exchange which they own, and the reserves they can, under certain conditions, borrow, Future changes in the jaternational mone- tary ayetem will probably be direc: ted mostly towards inereasing the availability. of borrowed reserves, » with the waderstanding that debts incurred will be repaid The reserves now available for borrowing ave the QUITERCY pol +.

MODBRATE RENT RANGE One of the attractions about these apartments is that they are Lkely to be in the moderate rent pange, While the final rent. ai figure has not been officially announced, they will probably range from $13 te $15 a week, plus the municipal taxes and the wewal services, These rates are about half the cost of privately Duilt 'apartments in Chelsea One of the Rictors creating high rentals is that dullding vand i the borough & selling for about $750,000 an acre Bim Park House will have on its 18 storey 38 bedsitting room fatiets, 244 lweroomed apart ments and SIX Three room apart ments QUEEN'S PARK Ohelsea's housing committee has hot yet given any decision on who will occupy these bar. gain apartments of Bln Park House, The priority tenants are likely to be residents of the bor ough who would otherwise be forced to move out of it dy steadily increasing housing prices, Many of them are now around retiring age Another priority will be given to people with old Chelsea associations who have been displaced The applicants from distant places who have been chancing their luck by sending in appl: cations will be disappointed, YOUR HEALTH There are more than. enough applications coming in from peo ple in other Ohelsea apartment blooks in which the rents have moved up from the average to the luxury class Many of the applications have come from professional men and women, More are coming in week by week, and the com mittee will soon have to face up to the task of selecting the lucky 60 tenants who will be al: lotted apartments, Chelsea's property manager is a woman, Miss Joyce Adder. ley. She said There is no actual policy jaid down yet as to how the ten- ants will be selected, but T am sure the committee will try to choose those who are most in need of accommodation," She stressed that the Bim Park House venture was an ef: fort to provide accommodation about halfway between the two types already existing -- the fow-coost council houses, and the expensive luxury apartments, Severe Headache Felt On One Side Ry JOSKPH G, MOLNER, MD Dear Dr, Motwer:.

So Sir John rented Pekoe Pa- » goda, and in August, 1848 he moved his family into it, Just 12 months later he moved out again, no doubt gladly, after after 'what had been one of the ro "yb years of his long life, He had been there' only one month when his infant Ae John Alexander, died And for a long period bie vite was confined to bed there sul- fering great pain, MOVE TO OTTAWA John became 'the flr pels nm became the fire minister of the new nation of Canada, He made Ottawa his home, and here in due course he bought Barnseliffe, on a cliff overlooking the Ottawa River and almost within the of Parliament's Peace er, Hore he lived and worked and ultimately died, Today Karngeliffe is the most famous and possibly the moat impressive private heme. fn Ot tawa, It is used as the -- residence of the high commis: sioner of Britain, whose govern: ment owns it, Barnaciiffe is the home whic? should be created as the na tional shrine of our first prim minister, A former oceupant @, it told me that his government would certainly sell it if the Ca- nadian government wished to~ purchase it for this purpose, Located in the centre of our capital, Earnsclitfe ls the house where the furniture and belong: ings of the famous Sir John should be gathered-the whole being thrown open to visitors, Why, with this possibility be- fore it, did our government make the insignificant choice of Tea Caddy Hall to be "a proud historical trust of the Canadian people to keep alive the mem> ory of a very great Cana dian?"
