She Oshawa Zanes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1964--PAGE 6 Doubts About Deficits Expressed By Executives One of the liveliest minds in Canadian business belongs to R. M, Fowler, president of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association. This was made evident once again at the association's recent annual luncheon, Mr. Fowler advocated tax reduc tion as a method of reducing un- employment. He noted that there were obvious risks, that tax reduc- tion "means an immediate drop in government revenues at a time when government accounts have shown substantial deficits for a number of years." But then he wondered about the size of the de- ficits, and expressed a wish "that some one, with more knowledge than I have, would look at the na- tional accounts to see if we really do have a deficit at all." Coffee Price In terms of global trade, coffee is the second most important com- modity in the world, exceeded only by petroleum, It is cultivated in 70 countries and in nine of these ac- counts for more than 50% of all foreign exchange earnings. New problems are now percola- ting in the world coffee market, the Milwaukee Journal notes. Wholesale prices, which dropped to a 14 year low last summer, have since spur- ted more than 80%. The executive board of the International Coffee Agreement, a pact drafted last year by 57 producing and consum- ing countries in an effort to sta- bilize the market, now has under consideration a request immediately to increase coffee export quotas. The intention is to inflate supply of world coffee and thereby depress prices, Bource of the present trouble His doubt followed this reason- ing: When a government makes long- term capital investments in high» ways or schools, or research insti- tutes, it pays for them out of the annual estimates, and unless tax collections are very buoyant a de- ficit results. When a corporation makes similar investments it capi- talizes them and does not show them as current expenditures contribu- ting to a loss figure in the opera- ting account, Says Mr, Fowler: "It is no answer to say that cor- porations earn profits and govern- ments do not; taxes, increased by wise capital investments, are pro- fits to a government." We'd like to see the economists go to work on that one, And Pact seems to be a shortage of supply, which Brazil and other coffee lands attribute to recent drought and fire damage to trees, This explanation is challenged in some quarters. as a counferfeit excuse for driving up prices. Whatever the reason, the situ- ation is raising doubts about the entire coffee agreement in the United States senate, which has yet to ratify the pact. Without United States approval the agreement is virtually worthless, since Americans consume more than half the world's coffee. The principal motive behind the international agreement -- to help insure a stable source of the world's poorest lands -- is basically sound, the Journal points out. It would be most unfortunate if an apparently temporary market condition were allowed to kill a worthy program, Salvage Operations A leading Canadian business newspaper recently pointed out that there are inherent dangers in the growing tendency on the part of the federal and provincial governments to try to influence the location of new industry, The paper points out that no government ean ignore persistent 'pockets of unemployment or aban- don depressed areas. Yet at the same time, channelling new industry into these areas, solely to create new jobs could also be a mistake. "Investing large amounts of No Jokes In In Communist countries where criticism of the powers that be will almost certainly earn the critic a lengthy, sojourn in jail, dissidents have generally tended to resort to a grim sort of humor to vent their spleen against the regime. For Bulgarians, this avenue of expression is now being closed up me well.

Other Editors' Views DIED IN TRUCK '(Owen Sound Sun-Times) A truck driver has been fined $11 at Toronto after arriving at the stockyard there from Hearst with four dead cows and one crip- pled in his 38-foot trailer truck. The cows apparently had been crushed in one corner of the trailer. There was no straw in the truck floor to give them footing. And there were six inches of muck on it. The case is interesting in view of the truckloads of cattle one sees which the cattle are jostling about. In most instances the animals no doubt are protected against actual harm or even suffering. At the same time these large crate trucks which carry hundreds of live poultry suggest a constant need for check- ing against cruelty. Shipping either animals or fow! long distances must involve considerable discomfiture at the best REPORT FROM U.K. Homeless Families Problem For Kent By M, McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times MAIDSTONE, Kent -- The child welfare department of the Kent County Council is faced with a heart-breaking problem, heart-breaking not only for the officials who have to adminis- ter this welfare service, but even more so for the families which are involved in it. The problem is simply this -- that the army of homeless fam- lies in the county of Kent is com at an alarming rate. ause of this, the number of YOUR HEALTH children who are under the care of the county council because their parents are unable to find homes, has risen by 70 per cent. An official report which has just been published shows that during the last year, 348 chil- dren had to be separated from their mothers and fathers be- cause of the lack of homes which they can move with their families, RESOURCES STRAINED The children's officer for the county, Miss Elizabeth Harvie, gays: "Homelessness is now the Similar Symptoms In Ear Infections By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr, Moiner; I have been under treatment for labyrin- thitis for seven months and would like to know how long it usually lasts, It is veny bother- eome when you have' small children to care for. -- Mrs, JW, Labyrinthitis is one of the ear conditions to which I referred yesterday. It can have syp- toms similar to Meniere's dis- ease, and again the trouble is in the ear. However, in this case the specific cause is in- flammation of the inner ear, as a result of either bacteria or virus, Usually the inflammation is a secondary consequence of in- fection elsewhere, and labyrin- thitis is generally self-limited, meaning that it runs its course and stops. It does not continue indefinitely -- unless, for some reason, the infection becomes chronic. Its prognosis is another mat- ter, depending on how quickly the infection is overcome, al- towing the inner ear ti to my milk supply dry up because of this? --Mrs. JD Pregnancy has been known to suppress the milk supply--and contrary to folklore, nursing does not prevent pregnancy. You may find on the other hand, that you do have enough milk to continue nursing. Weigh the baby regularly to determ- ine whether he is getting enough nourishment. If not, then start weaning him promptly, VISITOR GETS GIFT LONDON (CP) -- A _ yisitor from Quebec, Heinz J, Heinrich, was presented a silver cigarette box as the 1,000,000 visitor to the Skyway. Hotel at London Airport. Run by a group of Ca- nadian businessmen, the hotel was opened four years ago and is described as the first big air- port hotel in Europe. GALLUP POLL heal. There can be complete healing, with no after-effects, or in some cases, complete loss of hearing. So immediate treat- ment is recommended in cases of infection. The antibiotics are invaluable with bacterial infec- tions; virus infections, unfor- tunately, leave us with a more difficult problem. There are still other causes of some of the Meniere's symp- toms. There may be dizziness, nausea, hearing impairment, ear noises, in various combin- ations but not all of them at once. Toxics effect from certain of the "mycin" drugs on the eighth, or hearing, nerve. can be involved. So can toxicity from tobacco or alcohol. Disturbances in circulation (hardening of the arteries, etc.) must be considered in the case of older people. At various ages glandular dis- orders, low thyroid activity be- ing one of the commonest, can be a factor. Perhaps by now you are ask- ing, "How can I tell whether I have Meniere's disease or something else?" The answer is that you usually can't. And your doctor may not be able to tell, at the first examination, either. If he is slow to com- mit himself, that's good. Its better to take the time to be sure. Dear Dr. Molner: I am a nursing. mother. I suspect that I may be pregnant again. Will most important single reason for children coming under our care, The resources of the de- partment are strained in caring for these children, But there is a much more serious aspect to it than that, That i sthe great social problem of the harm that is being done to most of these children as a_ result of the break-up of their, families," The Kent County authorities have laid down wu fixed policy for dealing with cases of home- lessness, Homeless families can stay at a council-operated hostel at West Mailing for a period of up to three months. If by the end of that time, they have not been able to find accommoda- tion, then the families are split up, The children come under the care of the council's chil- dren's officer, The parents wan- der away .nd make shift for themselves, TYPICAL CASE A typical case is that of a de- spondent couple, who are now living in a farm 'hut near Ash- ford, Because of the lack of resi- dential qualification, they were unable to be taken on to the council's housing list, Their children are out living with fos- ter parents, There does not seem to be any early chance of this family being reunited, The Kent county council has appealed to local authorities within its boundaries to allo- cate houses to these "problem families", But the response from the municipalities has been very poor, Town councils have long waiting lists for houses, and land for home- building is becoming increasing- ly scarce, Many families, determined to stay together, are wandering around the countryside, living in derelict buildings under appall- ing conditions, but just wait- ing to be moved on by local of- ficials. Some have bought cara- vans, but they cannot find any site on which to locate them, except on the roadside verges, Because of this worsening sit» uation, there is a strong bod: of public opinion in Kent whi teels that the time has come for the county council to build the necessary houses for these homeless people -- homes to save terrible heartbreak, and, in the long run, the taxpay- ers' money, Canadian Voters Want Commons To Carry On THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Rank and file of the Canadian voters -- three to one -- do not want another federal election for at least four or five years, More than 6 in 10 think that Parliament should carry on, and do everything within its volved in our Minority Govern: ment, the Gallup Poll put this question to a national sample: "As you may know we have a minority government in Otta- wa in which no one party has an over-all majority, Under these circumstances which ef these two statements comes closest te the way you yourself power to avoid another vote fee); until its full term is over, Less ~ than one in four think that if the Liberal Government finds it cannot carry out a full program of work because of problems with a minority House, another election should be called soon. The big majority of Conserva- tive and other Parties feel this way. Among Liberal forces the ratio rises to 7 in 10 in agree- ment, ' To establish the will of the people on the problems _in- Government should call another election within a year Parliament should carry on for full term in spite of difficul- ties of Minority Gov't. Can't say 1, If the government feels it cannot carry. out its program of work it should call another elec- tion soon--mayhe within a year, 2, The present parliament should do everything in its power to avoid another election before its term is over -- say within four or five years." Here's the national viewpoint, compared with those who would vote Liberal or Conservative in a current election. What about the next election?

Not long ago, for in- stance, at a port on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, a storm built up such mountainous waves that they pounded over the breakwater and even swept away railroad cars parked on the jetty-top for loading. Now a brilliant young scien- tist at our National Research Council in Ottawa has designed and perfected a new kind jetty, which tames the biggest breakers and protects steve- dores and stores on its top; And in accordance with the saying about a better mouse- trap, port authorities from all over the world are beating a la to Canada's door to buy he patented plans.
