a Rene} ~~ I AN cp 4 & ' he Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario . T. L. Wilson, Publisher * MONDAY, MARCH 2, 1964--PAGE 6 Industrial Integration Seen By US. " A speech of particular interest to Oshawa and district was made in Toronto a few days ago,by Lynn A. Townsend, president of Chrysler' Corp. of the U.S. In it he said: "The businessmen of Canada and the United States are. going to be forced by plain, ordinary, good busi- ness judgment 'to find ways of avoiding some of the wasteful duplications in production and dis- tribution that exist at the present time. We are going to be forced by our Own common sense and ele- mentary business logic to act in line with what we all recognize -- that our two countries form a na- tural market of magnificent size and potential, a market that should not be broken in two artificial poli- tical barriers. And sooner or later we are going to be forced to realign our operations so as to gain for the people of Canada and the people of the U.S., who buy and use our products, more of the benefits of mass production and mass dis- tribution." This is not a new thought, of course. International of Canadian and U.S. production in the auto- mobile and some other industries has been suggested several times during the past years. Its .advan- tages in more efficient, lower- cost production are obvious. But it has its disadvantages, too, the Canadian industrial machine, for example, would be inextricably meshed with the U.S. machine, and we would be even more sensitive to U.S. economic developments than we are now. The advantages, however, far outweight the disadvantages, from a Canadian standpoint. We have puffered from having too many small manufacturers producing too many products at costs that are not competitive. The move to in- tegration would be a break-through on cost and size of market for Canadian manufacturer. Mr. Townsend expects that the ear producers of Canada and the United States will eventually build Executive | in Canada the entire supply of only a few basic components for use throughout all North America rather than try to duplicate on both sides of the border every product that goes to make up an automobile. The obvious result will be longer production runs and lower unit costs. The Financial Post comments that "this projected rearrange- ment of the U.S.-owned automobile industry is not likely to be an act of international charity or a sop to Canadian illusions of indepen- dence. The hard fact is that the auto industry in North America, like many other industries, - is faced with increasingly violent competition from abroad and must move towards greater specialization ...Only 10 years ago, the two North American countries accoun- ted for 75 per cent of world output of cars and trucks. Today they ac- count for 47 per cent --.and in the years ahead the Canadian and U.S. share will probably continue to decrease. Moves towards a more logical integration of production and distribution on: this continent are the very stuff of national efficiency and prosperity." ; With the forthcoming tariff talks in Geneva likely to result in a further lowering of protection throughout the industrial world and new blasts of competition, the Post suggests, Canadian produ- cers will hail all talk of long pro- duction runs and lower costs per item produced. But integration, if it comes, will not be an over-night development; it is much more likely to be a slow and possibly painful process, be- ~ cause it would call for a massive readjustment in human and ma- terial terms. Even so, it would probably be easier to achieve in the automobile industry than any other. There are political as well as economic complications on. both sides of the border, but it would be a bold, constructive step that would in the end: benefit both countries, Time To Be Children An American educator thinks many children are being driven towards nervous breakdown and heart. attacks by their parents. Professor Ronald C. Doll, of Hunter College, says: "Children who come home from school after.a day of intense activity have to be hauled away to their music or dancing lessons, to medi- cal specialist, to special language instruction, and infinitum." The children aren't given enough time just to be children, he argues-- and the children need an oppor- ' tunity to grow privatly, quietly and independently, to be themselves, for at least a part of each day. Prof. Doll is not alone in his opinion. Over the past: few years, similar warnings have come from medical specialists who have had to treat an increasing number of young children and teenagers suffering - from nervous and 'emotional dis- orders. are too ambitious for their chil- dren or use their children as props for their own status structure. Johnny or Mary, it seems, must be on this or that team, must belong to this or that youth or- ganization or club, must take part in this or that school or out-of- school activity, must play this or that instrument, not so much be- cause the parents think this course of action will develop the child physically, mentally or socially, as because the parents think "'it's the thing to do". Thus the child is subjected to harassment and a whole series of unnatural pressures. The dull child may be able to adapt, and be none the worse for it; the imaginative child may become a "problem"; the high-strung child withdraws or cracks. y A parent's interest in and direcion of a child can be overdone. The charge'is that the youngsters . are over-organized, and that parents are largely to blame -- parents who She Oshawa Cimes T.

Notwithstanding, it is an essen- tial part of a newspaper's work, which serves a manifold purpose. It serves as some deterrent to crime (for the fear of public igno- miny is a potent one); it contri- butes to public understanding of the nature of society (as it is and not as some would wish. or pretend it to be) and of the workings and penalties of the law; it serves as a check on the conduct of the police and courts and _a8 a safeguard. against miscarriages of justice. FINALLY AGREED ON A COMMON WEAPON {| with Prince Philip and the Com- REPORT FROM U.K. Search For Talent _ For Arts Festival By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Ian Hunter, di- rector of the great Common- wealth Arts Festival to be held an Britain in 1965, is off on a 35,000 mile trip, in the course of which he will be visiting YOUR HEALTH Canada and other Common- wealth countries in search of outstanding musical and drama- _ tic talent for the festival pro- grams. Before leaving on his. tour, during which he will visit India, Pakistan, Ceylon, Malaysia, Au- stralia, New Zealand and Fiji as well as Canada, he went to Buckingham Palace to discuss Knowledge Helps Beat Tuberculosis By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD I think (and, of course, hope) " that we are going to make some new progress against tuberculo- sis. Yes, I know that statistics show we have come to a sort of plateau, not losing ground but not gaining any, either. Yet letters to me reveal in- creasing interest in T.B. and that is a good sign. When people are interested, we progress. Tuberculosis is in a class by itself: A major disease, very dangerous, yet one which can be conquered if we use what we already know about it. But people need to have explana- tions for aspects which they do not understand. Here is one let- ter: : Dear Doctor: My daughter took a TB test. It showed she had been in contact. with the germ. She went to the doctor that evening. He made x-rays. There was no sign of trouble. Could she possibly be a TB carrier: Do you advise more tests?--MRS, L M ' The test the daughter took was the tuberculin, or "skin test." A small amount of spe- cial protein material is applied to the skin. If the person has become sensitized--that is, ex- posed -- to the tuberculosis germ, a spot of inflammation will appear on the skin, Other- wise, not. Contact with either dead or live germs can sensitize a per- son. A positive skin reaction may result without direct con- tact with live germs. (Having had a BCG inoculation is an GALLUP POLL | ta example of this.) However the little patch of inflammation on the skin frequently means con- tact with a person who has TB. This does not mean that you have tuberculosis, any more than you always catch cold just from being in contact with a person who has one. You may resist the germs, and this ap- plies to TB as well as colds or other diseases, It is a sign that you'd better check to be sure. This is exactly what Mrs. LM's daughter did. She had chest x-rays, and got the good news that she did throw off the germ. She doesn't need any more tests at present. However, like everyone else, she should have a periodic chest x-ray at six to 12- month | intervals. County and state health depart- ments as well as_ tuberculosis societies provide facilities for this free of charge or at a greatly reduced cost. No, she has not become a "carrier."' The only person who "carries" TB is one who has active tuberculosis and the live germs are in the sputum. Dear Dr. Molner: Does re- moval of the prostate gland prevent sexual life?--L.H.B. No. A man will usually have the same competence he had before the operation--with one exception. This has been a very hush-hush subject in past years. There have been whispers that it "destroys potency' and so on, If a man really believes this, the falsehood can affect him. 28 Opinions On Fairness To Farmers By THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyri,ht Reserved In the past eight years there has been a great change in re- gional thinking on whether or not the farmers are getting a fair deal from the Canadian Lovernment. Quebec and the West have shown startling re- versals in their thinking on this subject, * In 1956, just prior to when the Conservative Party took office, 60 per cent of the peo- ple in Quebec thought the farm- Total 44%, BI) 26 ------ 100% Yes, fair deal No, are not Undecided Reversed ers of that province were get- ting a fair deal and 44 per cent did not think so; today 25 per cent agrée to a fair deal and 44 per cent say no. At the same period, 38 per cent in the western provinces were satisfied w th the Govern- ment's treatment of farmers and 42 per cent' were not; today 61 per cent are satisfied and 17 per cent are not. The question : "Generally speaking do you think the farmers of this prov- ince are getting a square deal from Canadian govern- ment?" Quebec 25% 44 ~- $I 100% Ontario 52% 23 25 West 61% 17 22 100% © 100% monwealth High Commissioners the plans for the festival. With a budget of $750,000 at his command, he is on a shopping trip to engage the best artists of the Commonwealth for the | Festival. And in each case, he } is visiting the Commonwealth » countries at the invitation of their governments. MICHTY CONCEPTION At a. press conference before his departure, Mr. Hunter, who was for some years the artistic director of the Edinburgh In- ternational Festival of Music and Drama, expressed his ideas on the massive project, which he. termed a "mighty concep- tion"'. "It will not be just a-series of concerts and _ exhibitions," said Mr. Hunter. "What it hopes to do is to contrast the expres- sion of the emotions and events that are basic to the Common- wea'th -- East and West." "For example, we hope to have on each program the ex- pressions of Africa, Asia and the English-speaking world on such subjects as love and death. Take death. Compare our Western mourning with those West In- dian wakes. Or spring -- and contrast the Indian songs' with Delius' 'On Hearing the First Cuckoo'. We will use the theme of shared experiences through the concerts, exhibitions and dance programs." MUST BE WORTHY "One could simply bring Com- monwealth groups to London," said Mr. Hunter, "'but this would not add up to a world event. It would be worthy but parochial. Our aim is to present the Com- monwealth in the most exciting and instructing way so that its potential is convincing to a Rus- sian or an American, Neither of these two great powers can bring together representatives of three-quarters of the world's cultural traditions. "For example, from Canada you can have the French and American as well as the Brit- ish influence, and from Hong- Kong the Chinese." The $750,000 which Mr, Hunter has to spend in buiiding up the Commonwealth Festival has come from the British govern- ment, the London County Council, industry and private do- nations. It is expected that the Commonwealth governments will also contribute to travel and other costs. Accerding to Mr. Hunter, there has already been a very good response from the Com- monwealth governments. Prince Philip is chairman of the advisory council] which is co-operating in the production of the Commonwealth Arts Fes- tival next year. Overseas Service Calls For Ability To Adjust ENMORE, British Guiana (CP)--When 25-year - old Rod Haney, a 1963 University of Toronto graduate, volunteered to do community work on a sugar estate here no one tipped him about having to dance with the mother of the bride at a wedding of "ast Indians. Nor was Jill Schallenberg, another young Toronto grad, told that her YWCA job in Georgetown might land her a ballerina's role in British Gui- ana's first full. - scale musical comegy. But they, like other Canadian University Service Over seas volunteers in the Caribbean, soon learned that to make the best eir assignments they must slapt themselves to all kinds of situations. "After all, I'm here to under- stand how people live and work," said Rod, a native of QUEEN'S PARK Welland, Ont., whose home now is Cooksville, Ont. Most CUSO volunteers are teachers or engaged in youth or community work. Normally CUSO pays their fares and the sponsoring organization -- Govy- ernment or rivate--in the 'host country pays a salary compar- able to that earned by local people doing the same job. The volunteers in British Guiana are given a small allowance. NEW CHALLENGE Haney, a former messenger with The Canadian Press" in Toronto, doesn't find much di- rect, application for his studies. Working alongside an Bast Indian welfare officer, his basic directives are to work with boys and establish a youth club program and youth leadership training course. One thing he had to learn from the start was how to play cricket, the national sport in this self-governing British col- ony. Another was how to make posters to encourage use of the communi' " ity centre and sports ground, "The main problem really is to stimulate interest and get people to come out to the cen- tre," he says HAS BUSY DAY In a society where white peo- ple normally enjoy high living standards, the CUSO volunteer lives in a sparsely - furnished room, formerly a kitchen, in the community centre.

Government Shows Imagination Lack BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The writer has said before that if there is a prominent weakness in this gov- ernment it is probably a lack of imagination.~ The imagination to see through and grasp our prob- lems, all or most of them, and then the imagination to do something effective about them. There are two _ questions prominent today which illus- trate this. SPREADING INDUSTRY: One of these is decentraliza- tion. For the province at large--as distinct from the metropolitan centres -- decentralization is a vital question. f Our smaller communities and our less privileged areas need new industry and assessment for good health. The government in the Throne Speech took note of this by re- marking it had "facilitated . . the decentralization of indus- try." "This note. was tied directly to the fact that it was building highways. Opposition speakers have claimed in contrast that it has really done nothing for decen- tralization. : And one has to agree with them. Aside from the fact it has built roads, which make it eas- jer for manufacturers to ship their products from outlying centres, one can't recall one sin- gle thing of any consequence the government has done to fos- ter decentralization. In fact one can question even how much it has done in its roads program. A few years ago the Liberals proposed there should be a crash development of new su- per-highways to encourage dis- persal of industry. : The government was not im- pressed. And its roads program ~ TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 2, 1964... Finance Minister J. L. Isley, in his federal budget delivered 21 years ago to- night -- in 1943 alr nounced the placing of per- sonal income taxes on & pay-as-you-earn basis. As a result, 50 per cent of income tax on 1942 liability and on personal investment income up to $3,000 was to be for- given, while 50 per cent of investment income of more than $3,000 was to be de- ferred to death. No major changes in the income tax rate structure were an- nounced. 1932--The , Canadian Sen- ate rejected a bill to legal- ize sweepstakes. 1958 -- Dr. Vivan Fuchs and his British expedition completed the first overland crossing of the icebound Antarctic continent.

The second question is hous- ing. To the average citizen, and the welfare of the state, there is probably nothing more im- portant .than housing. A man in his own home is a more stable man, - Three sessions: ago, Robert Macaulay, then minister of eco- nomics and _ development, showed some recognition of this. He noted there were many people who couldn't buy houses, particularly older houses, prin- cipally because they couldn't accumulate sufficient cash. He said he. was studying a mortgage program. oa more was heard of Ss. Now the federal government has announced that it is enter- ing the mortgage field for older houses in a limited way.

' Haney's day starts at 7:30 a.m. with a light snack. The moming is spent on the estate, perhaps visiting homes in- an effort to encourage use of the centre. At noon he has lunch, called breakfast here, of goat curry, rice and egg plant. The afternoon's work is at the cen- tre and with the boys' club. His plans for the remaining months of his stay at Enmore include setting up an arts and handicrafts course for children and organizing a drama group. From this estate, he'll move to another run by the Booker's company in Berbice for six months, and then return to En- more to see how things have turned out. In Georgetown 21-year-old Jill Schallenberg, a Toronto physical education -- graduate, finds her YWCA job is far wider in scope than/she expected. It © includes giving classes in Eng- lish and math to unemployed women, organizing programs for the XWCA and conducting regular aft moon classes in physical education. In the evenings one is likely to find her at the Theatre Guild of British Guiana, one of the most active amateur - theatre groups in the Caribbean. Jill was one of the principal dancers in Miss Phoebe, a musical set in the days of slevery. - "By entering the drama group, I have got to know more about British Guiana and more people that' much more quickly," she says. Most volunteers feel they get more out of their assignments than they give. "It's certainly good for them," echoes a Guianese offi- cial. 'But it's also good for us."
