She Osharon Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1964--PAGE 6 Tourist Attractions Need Constant Watch Last year, for the first time, Canada had a favorable balance of tourist trade; visitors to Canada épent more here than Canadians did im travels in other countries. This is an important and highly favorable development. While tour- ism meant big business for Can- ada, the greater spending by Cana- éian- tourists abroad contributed éubstantially to our adverse ba- lance of payments, The change means an easing of the drain on our resources, and must be fostered, Ontario has a major role to play in this development, because On- tario does most of the tourist busi- ness -- both ways. This was un- doubtedly in the mind of Ontario's " minister of travel and publicity, James Auld, this week when he warned hotel and motel operators against cheap, shortsighted prac- tices such as juggling rates from day to day and at different times of the day, and short-changing Americans on the exchange rate. The report does not say that he mentioned food, but he might well have -- food that is badly pre- pared, and food that is slavish tmitation of what the Americans get every day in their own country. We hope, however, that Mr. Auld remembers there is more to tourism than accommodation. Tourists do not come here simply to stay in hotels or motels or camp grounds. They come here to examine and enjoy our attractions -- theatres, museums, historic sites and, above all, forests, lakes and rivers. The finest and most reasonable accom- modation possible will remain empty if the attractions are not good enough. The swine who finds the beach polluted, the fisherman who finds his sport declining, the boat opera- tor who finds the water dirty and his favorite reaches crowded with shanties, the curious traveller who finds us ignorant or apathetic about the places where our history has been made -- these people will also find other places to visit, They will not return, The minister of tourism, there- fore, has much more to do than merely to supervise the preparation of publicity and advertising and chivvy hotel and motel operators, He has a responsibility to keep re- minding his cabinet colleagues about the need to preserve and improve the attractions which bring tourists here, Pollution in the Kawartha's, for example, involves two or three departments and government agen- cies, The Trent-Severn waterway is one of Ontario's great tourist lures -- but it is being polluted by sewage and by agricultural chemicals, Tourism brought better than $600 million to Canada last year, with Ontario grabbing about half of it. The preservation and en- couragement of 'that business de- pend on a lot more than the conduct of resort operators. Fire Research Urged Charges by Hamilton's fire chief, Reginald Swanborough, deserve of- ficial attention. He has asked the Ontario Fire Chiefs' Association to take the matter of the province's "chaotic" fire laws with Attorney- General Fred Cass, All the 19 sta- tutes which cover fire safety and fire prevention in Ontario come under the Attorney-General's de- partment, but apparently there is eonfusion about rsponsibility for enforcing them. He went on to charge that On- tario's Fire Fighting College at Gravenhurst had done little or no research. Canada's per capita fire Josses are outstripped only by those ef the United States, he said, and superior research in Europe and elsewhere was responsible for the lower fire loss in other countries. He denounced Canada's fire loss as a national disgrace and sug- gested that a royal commission may be needed to investigate the reasons for the heavy annual destruction of life and property by fire. Hamilton's loss, incidentally, is well below the national average. Per capita fire losses in the steel city in 1968 were $2, compared with a national loss for 1962 -- the latest year for which figures are available -- of $6.14. The figures seem to support Chief Swan- borough's capacity for sound judg- ment. West Germans Angered It is significant that the sharpest reaction to President de Gaulle's de- cision to extend French recognition to Communist China has come not from the United States, as would be expected, but from West Ger- many. Only last year France and West Germany, or rather de Gaulle and Adenauer, concluded a treaty which was to establish among other things permanent institutions for French-German consultation. But de Gaulle did not bother to consult about French recognition of Peking, thus ostentatiously showing his lack of concern for German as well as American and other Western The Germans did not like it one bit. Chancellor Erhard and his West German government have been doing all they can to reinforce At- lantic ties with Europe, and since they correlate Western unity and German reunification, they see de Gaulle's latest grand manoeuvre as a weakening of both, Chancellor Erhard was disturbed enough to send Heinrich Krone, the West German minister for special tasks, to Paris to let the French government know about German dislike of the recognition of China. This was clearly not done with any hope that de Gaulle would change his mind -- le grand Charles does not change his mind, in the manner of lesser mortals -- but as a gesture of protest demanded by the public's recognition of the impact of .the French action on German interests, Other Editors' Views COWS ONLY HUMAN Milwaukee Journal Tt appears that the cows have a social structure as rigid as the.seat- ing order at an embassy dinner. Howard J. Larsen, a University of Wisconsin dairy scientist, reports that the herd always has one boss bossy cow with first access to food, shade and the other good things of bovine living. Other cows are ranked up and down the social scale according to their ability to butt and shove. Bible Thought Let us not be desirous of vain glory . Galatians 5:26.

MOLNER, MD Dear Dr, Molner: Should children be fed extremely rare meats? I am old-fashioned, I know, but as youngsters we were told we would get pin- worms from eating raw meat.-- MRS, 8. Raw meat is not a source of pinworms, but it can result in other types of worms. Pork can cause trichinosis, or infestation with a worm which Jays eggs, and then when these hatch, the larvae burrow into muscle tissues in many parts of y. Thorough cooking destroys these worms---so never, under any circumstances, eat pork un- less it is well done, Lamb and beef are different, They do not come from meat- eating animals, so the threat of trichinosis is not present, But they can be the source of tapeworms at times, They should be reasonably well-cooked to eliminate this risk. By that I mean they should be cooked at least to what we call medium rare, for people who like meat that way. 'Very rare" means uncooked at the centre. This can be po BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO January 25, 19324 W. J, Holland was awarded the contract for the proposed new grandstand in Alexandra Park at a cost of $25,215, D.

I have two girls, one born before my operation and one after, Does this mean I will have only girls?---MRS, B. J, T. No, it doesn't, You may have only girls--or you may have nine boys from now on, It isn't the ovaries, but the chromo somes in one of the cells, which control the sex, Dear Dr. Molner: Are jaf foods bad for the complexion' What is good for skin. blem- ishes? Do you recommend soap and hot water?--M, T, I don't think that spicy foods cause skin blemishes, But I do think that an ingrained taste for such foods, to the exclusion of a more ordinary diet, may have an effect, Soap and warm (not hot) wa- ter are helpful, if used regularly and preferably with a soft--not rigid and spiny--brush. TWO ALTERNATIVES The cabinet was faced with two alternatives, By introducing this legislation, it was sure to incur the antagonism of the atores and, supermarkets, On the other hand, the government claims that its legislation will have the effect of bringing greater competition into busi- mess and reducing prices paid by the housewives for articles on which the prices are now fixed by the manufacturers, In an election year, the gov- ernment had the choice of an- tagonizing the small merchants or winning the support of the housewives, It chose the latter course, because, according to Edward Heath, the sponsor of the bill, abolition of price-fixing will not do the smaller mer. chants and stores the damage which they fear it will, HAND WAS FORCED The decision to introduce this legislation was purely a piece of pre-election political tactics, It was forced by the fact that John Stonehouse, Labor MP for Wednesbury, was due to intro- duce a private members' bill along somewhat the same lines as that proposed by the govern: ment, The government was therefore faced with the dilem- ma of either opposing Mr, Stonehouse's bill on principle, which would have been a ser ious tactical blunder in the pres» ent state of public opinion, or forestalling him by introducin, a bill of its own which it cou! claim was better and more far @ RESIDENT PARTNERS Gord, Jack Richardson of Oshawa, won second prize and gold medal in the junior tournament of the Dominion Checker Asso ciation held in Toronto, On the Oshawa market butter was priced at 45 cents a pound, eges 55 cents a dozen, Burt R, Waters, C.A.
