| She Oshawa Zimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontarie T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1964--PAGE 6 Councils Investigate Technological Change The Economic Council of Canada and the provincial economic coun- cils of Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia have announced that they will carry out a joint program of research into the economic effects on employment in Canada of tech- nological change and automation. This is good news. This is the logi- cal starting point for a thorough, continuing exploration of the mas- sive problem of automation -- an exploration that is badly needed. The announcement says that the purpose of the joint studies will be to develop specific information on shifts and trends in industries and occupations, the rate and extent of displacement caused by technologi- cal changes, and present and future implications which these have for education, training, retrainng and labor mobility. They will include an investigation of similar experience and trends in other countries, par- ticularly the United States. The joint arrangement resulted from a recent meeting in Ottawa of representatives of the federal and provincial economic councils. The announcement says "the door has been left open for additional provin- New Hats --- BY REV. WESLEY HERBERT King Street United Church What's happening anyway -- new hats, new suits, newness bursting out all over? Why of course, it's Easter -- a wonderful, exciting time. All of this because a wonder- ful thing happened at Easter. The Easter fact is that Jesus rose. Jesus rose that in Him we might live victoriously in the free- dom of His Grace which is greater than the change of circumstances. Jesus rose that we might live in the Power of God's Love and in the assurance that our existence reach- es out into an eternal tomorrow. The wonder and. victory of Easter Faith is yours -- take it. With Easter Faith walk from the dark- ness of doubt and self-centerdness, hatred and fear into the light and freedom, love and. faith of the Risen Christ. Easter is not only a time of re- ceiving but it is also a time of giving and witnessing. In the New Testa- ' program," cial councils to participate in the but it is disappointing that the other provinces did not see fit to co-operate right from the start. The research program tackles what is undoubtedly the most ominous domestic problem we have, and it should be reinforced by a completely national effort. It may be that: in some of the other provinces the opinion lingers that automation represents nothing more than just another develop- ment in the process of industrializa- tion. But such an opinion is too complacent. Mechanization means the production of goods on a mass scale by machines, but automation means the production of machines to direct the machines involved in production, In other words, the whole point of automation is the elimination of routine production including the routine or 'middle executive" decisions involved in pro- duction. It is, then not so much an extension of an old revolution as the start of a new one which has its roots in the old. And it is more than a technological revolution; its im- pact on society will inspire a. social revolution. That is why extensive research is required -- now. And Faith ment two of Jesus' disciples, Peter and John, were accosted by a lame man. asking for help. Peter said, "Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have I give to thee. In the Name of the Lord-Jesus Christ, rise up and walk." All of us can do that. * We can share, indeed we must share, what we have. But what have we got to share? Well, for one thing there is courage. Countless people are waiting for the kind of courage you can give to them. What about Faith? Surely we can all share an unshakeable faith in God with our neighbors. People are looking for something against which they can lean and know that it will never give. People want a living faith to live life courageously and triumph- antly. : Easter is not just new hats and new suits, but new faith, new cour- age, new victory. Yes, victory, this is the triumphant note Easter strikes. Christ rose victorious that we might live victoriously. Parliamentary Speech When George Wigg, a member of the British parliament, called the secretary of state for air 'a cheap skate and a phony" the other day in the House of Commons, some observers were shocked by _ his language. The incident sent a representative of the Sunday Telegraph off to the record books to determine whether the phrase was on the official par- liamentary black list. He found "guttersnipe, hooligan and imperti- nent puppy." "Behaving like a "jackass" and "cheeky" young pup" 'were there. But no "cheap skate and phony." The effort uncovered some in- teresting other findings, however. Britain and most of the Common- wealth countries, maintain long lists She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

The en- thusiasm of the Mexican peo- ple can undoubtedly be ex- plained by the exceptional character of the event; it is the first time. France has gone to Mexico officially. Be- sides, Paris has recently made $150,000,000 in credits available to the Mexicans, thus opening new economic possibilities for them. But behind all that and in the background of the ritual- istic speeches, there looms the following fact: De Gaulle offers an alternative to the Latin American republics en- closed too firmly up to now in the embrace of the United States and apparentty unable to release thamselves from it without falling into. the arms of Moscow or Peking The Mexican visit' is an- other stage in the grand polit- ical design of President de Gaulle, which is taking on more and more the outlines of a "third force" between the two colossi that have been sharing the hegamony of the since the end of the war, Russia and the United States. In recent weeks France's "grand design' in international politics has been worked out at a rapid pace. There was first the project to 'neutralize' Southeast Asia, then the recognition of China and now, the opening to the uncommitted world, broad- ened by the trip to Mexico. . . .

We can take legitimate pride in the confidence thus placed in our country, whose principal ambition, contrary to that nursed by some other countries, is solély to main- tain harmony and peace with- out any hope of deriving terri- torial or commercial advan- tages. By acting this way Canada is not only helping to pre- serve peace. It is contributing directly to the elaboration of a method of settling interna- tional conflicts other than by war.

These are historic moments that need to be underlined. The valiant soldiers of the 22nd are in great majority French-Canadian. The mili- tary vehicles that patrol Cy- prus will bear constant wit- ness to this, for the licences carry the fleur-de-lys and the slogan "La Belle Province." The honor reflects upon Que- bec in. particular... . On this island of. ancient civilization the Canadians will assume a role so mportant that it- may prevent a local war from shaking the world. In the past the island has often been the theatre of vio- lent fighting between the Greek and Turkish communi- ties but the racial conflict had never reached the point of cri- sis where it is today. If the UN succeeds in its efforts, the Royal 22nd Regi- ment will have another feather in its cap and the peo- ple of Canada an additional reason for pride. The task will be delicate, captivating, per- haps perilous, but doesn't the Canadian always speak of Standing.on guard, when he sings his national anthem? (March 18) UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Leaders' Clashes Show Campaign To Be Bitter By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The coming gen- eral election, no matter whether it is held in June. or October, is going to be tough, bitter and with no-holds-barred. It will be a gloves-off contest between the two major party leaders, Prime Minister Alec Douglas-Home and Harold Wilson. That be- came apparent from _ the moment of the bitter clash which these two leaders had in the House of Commons over what Mr. Wilson did or did not say on Britain defence future when he was in Washington. The atmosphere around West- minster is becoming more tense with every passing day. Public opinion polls are scanned. by both sides, and as they all seem to come up with different re- sults, and veer first one way and then the other, so the hopes of the contesting parties rise and fall. LABOR HOLDS LEAD In spite of Conservative claims that the tide is turning their way, the Daily Telegraph public opinion poll sees them back again to a position 1 points be- hind the Labor party, a reversal of the previous poll which had seen the Labor lead cut to 5% points. This reversal is loubtless due to the furore over the govem- ment's resale price maintenance bill, and the opposiion to it of certain groups of citizens .who fee] it will be detrimental to its interests. The opponents of the bill throughout the country, how- ever, do mot seem to have grasped very fully the fact that the Labor party is just as much in favor of abolishing price-fix- ing, if not more so, as are the Tories. By the same token, the Liberals are unanimously in favor of the government's bill. So it is rather difficult to under- stand why the introduction of this bill should turn the tide of public favor towards the Labor party. CHIEF CONCERN The chief concern of the Con- servative party organization, in looking ahead to the election, is the great danger that the So- cialists will be brought into power on the backs of Liberal candidates. So at Tory head -- the gospel is being preaciaed "Beware of Socialism again through the Liberal back door " There can be no doubt of the fact that while support for the Liberal party has been declin- ing, the appearance of a greatly increased number of Liberal candidates is a serious threat to the Conservatives' hopes for an- other election victory. Up to the present time, the Liberals have candidates listed for 383 constituencies. But the significant factor is that only 91 of these candidates are fighting seats which are at present held by the Labor. party, On the other hand, there are '284 candi- dates in constituencies now rep- resented by Conservative mem- bers. A further important figure is that the Liberals have candi- dates in 47 of the 80 most mar- ginal Tory seats. Only' 24 of these were contested by the Lib- erals in 1959. So on the basis of an average of the public opinion, plus the extent of the Liberal interven- tion in Tory-held seats, Labor could expect a majority of around 65, or probably more, in the next House of Commons. Therefore the Tories' anxiety about the general election, in spite of all the optimistic drum- beating is matched by Labor's satisfaction with a situation which points to a substantial Labor victory. That is what is behind the publication of a new Conserva- tive pamphlet just issued from Conservative headquarters, en- YOUR INCOME TAX Gentleman Farmer Definition Sought By WILLIAM C. HALL B. Comm., CA QUESTION -- In the discus- sion of income tax matters with friends I have frequently heard the term "gentleman" or "hobby" farmer. Could you please explain the meaning of this term indicating what sig- nificance it has for tax pur- poses? ANSWER -- This term, em- bodied by Section 13 of the In- come Tax Act, refers to an in- dividual (or corporation) who derives and from some other source, for example, employment in an of- fice, a factory, a profession, etc., whereby the income from employment or profession is the main source of income. For tax purposes, a taxpayer described above may deduct a loss incur- red in farming from any other income he receives. The amount deductible, however, is limited -- being the lesser of (a) the ac- tual loss for the year from farming, or (b) $2.500, plus 50 per cent of loss in excess of this amount up to a maximum of $5,000 (that is, a farming loss of $7,500 incurred by a gentleman farmer would give a maximum allowable deduction of $5,000). Of course, where the main source of income is farming the above comments do not apply, It is pointed out, however, that, for the punpose of applying this section, the tax department is empowered to determine wheth- er the main source of a tax- payer's income is farming.

QUESTION -- My wife was 65 years old in 1963. Can I claim the $500 age exemption for her as well as for myself. Could I claim this exemption if my wife only (and not myself) was 65 in 1963? ANSWER -- No. In neither case could you claim the $500 age exemption for your wife. This exemption applies to the person filing the tax return; hence, could only be claimed by your wife. You, of course, could claim $500 if you were 65 or over in 1963. QUESTION -- I work as a salesman and receive a 'com- mission on sales, It is necessary for me to use my car and incur other expenses for which I am not reimbursed. Is it possible for me to claim these expenses on my tax return? ANSWER -- Since you are re- quired to pay all expenses you could claim your automobile ex- penses, including depreciation, as well as any other amounts paid by you to the extent such amounts are of a_ business nature and were incurred for the purpose of deriving income, i.e. making a sale, It is pointed out, however, that an adjust- ment of expense may be neces- Sary where a personal or non- business use exists, for example, automobile depreciation. titled 'Don't Waste Your Vote" and aimed at the constituencies in which the Liberals are bring- ing great comfort to the Social- ists. WHISKEY FOR CANADA The Scotch Whiskey distillers are probably the happiest péo- ple in the world in assessing the budget introduced in the Cana- dian parliament by the Hon. Walter Gordon. They have at last won a battle which they have been fighting with success- ive Canadian governments for a number of years. They will now be able to sell their 25-ounce bottles of Scotch whiskey in Canada without having to pay duty on the 26 and two-thirds ounces which are the standard contents of the Canadian bottle. What the Scottish distillers have termed a gross piece of dis- crimination against their prod- uct has been removed and they are very happy about it. I first heard of this situation over four years ago when I paid a visit to a famous Scottish dis- tillery and talked with the chair- man of the company owning it. While acknowledging that Can- ada provided a good market for Scotch whiskey, he complained bitterly over the fact that if it were sent to Canada in 25-ounce bottles, duty would still have to be paid on the basis of 26 and two-thirds ounces per bottle. At that time I wrote an article stressing this grievance of the Scottish distillers, But it is only now in the 1964 budget, that the unfairess of the .situation has becn recogized and remedial action taken. Distillers here say one of the immediate results will be lower prices for Scotch whiskey in Canada, which will enable them to compete on more even terms with the Canadian product. There are some who have sug- gested, in a facetious vein, that the action now taken is just what might be expected from a man with the distinguished Scottish name of Gordon, The distillers will now sing more lustily than ever "'A Gordon for me".
