Che Oshawa Gunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T.. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, APRIL 7, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Regional Organization Comes A Little Closer "The Ontario department of muni- cipal affairs may be gradually ac- cepting the regional approach to planning -- and high time, too. Government spokesmen have done alot of talking about regional plan- ning in the past but have seldom followed up with effective leader- ship. A municipal affairs report on the Kitchener area suggests that future planning there be done by a joint board representing the entire county, and that local planing be looked after by sub-committees of the joint board. The Kitchener Record comments: "An immediate advantage would be the substitution of one board for many smaller groups exercising planning duties not necessarily in complete co- ordination... The report em- phasizes the need for a full-time planning staff, which is a corollary ef moving into planning on this scale and a necessity if the job is to be properly handled." What is true of Waterloo county is true of the rest of the province, particularly the section that lies south of the French River-Lake Nipissing line. Unfortunately, not all of the counties form convenient geographical and economic units, however. Their boundaries may be arbitrary and senseless -- Ontario county is an excellent .example. Thus some counties form natural "regions", while others do not. A preliminary to a sound system of regional planning in Ontario, there- fore, would be either a revision of municipal boundaries or a reassess ment of the county structure. The boundary revision seems to be the logical move, not only for counties but for municipalities within counties. This would permit a revision of the archaic municipal structure in Ontario to put adminis- tration as. well as planning on a broader, more coherent basis. We are struggling along, trying to make a pre-Confederation system work; our municipalities are harnessed to the horse and buggy in a jet age. The Kitchener report may be a wel- come sign that an approach to real- ity is to be made. Comparisons By Gordon Finance Minister Gordon has been making some slipshod comparisons between Canadian and American in- come taxes and pension schemes. He told the Commons that Cana- dian rates of income tax are no higher than those in the United States. He is probably right, in a superficial way, although deductions allowed in the United States can make a substantial difference in many instances and thus make a statistical comparison difficult. But he failed to mention that. the Amer- ican has a bigger take-home packet than his Canadian equivalent, be- calise he earns more for the same kind of job. Mr. Gordon said that old age pen- sion taxes paid by U.S. workers are greater than the combination of our old age security tax on such ingomes and the proposed Canada pétision plan contribution will be." One must wonder, then, how Can- ada can take in smaller pension pay- ments than the United States and stil pay out more. This is how it seems to work: The maximum pension benefit hé#e would be $150 a month; in the U.S., $127. The maximum tax on the worker here would be $165 a year, or $220 if the employer's con- tribution is included; the present maximum tax on the U.S. worker is $174 a year, or $348 with the employer's contribution ; the com~ bined U.S. contribution is schedu- led to go to $444 in 1968. The US. scheme, however, is paid for en- tirely by contributions from in- sured workers and their employers. The Canadian plan would consist of two pensions, partly paid by taxes levied on the whole public. The U.S. act specifically prohibits the use of general tax revenues to bolster the pension fund. In other words, the $444 annual contribution will represent the total cost of pro- viding $127 per month at age 65. Ottawa proposes to pay $126 a month at age 65, $75 from the old age security fund plus $51 from the new pension fund; at age 70 the pension would be $150, divided evenly between the two funds. The old age tax of four per cent pro- vides about half of the security fund's revenue, with indirect taxes providing the remainder.

It is a wry commen- tary on our approach to our history that we didn't bother much about it-until we saw that there was a. buck to be made. Until that lovely green light dawned, we were. in- clined to bury the sites under super- markets and subdivisions. It-is is good news, however, when authorities move to preserve the evidences of our early history, no matter what the motive.

The Huronia story is an important part of the history of Ontario, and of Canada -- and the reconstructed fort will undoubtedly prove to be a. prime tourist attrac- tion. It has always puzzled us why more attention'has not been paid to Indian history in Ontario and the rest of Canada. What the Indians . had done and were doing when the first Europeans came here is surely as pertinent to understanding of our country as much of the "foreign" history which Canadian school children are expected to digest. There has been, too, a curious lack of interest by Canadian archeologists. Men like Dr. Wil- frid Jury of the University of Western Ontario and Walter Kenyon of the Royal Ontario Museum have done much excellent work, but too many of their col- leagues seem to be more interested in puttering about the Yucatan pen- insula or some such place. Too much of the research work on Canada's Indians has been left to interested amateurs. Let us hope that the Huronia project is only the beginning of the work of reconstruction -- and that it will inspire more research work by our archeologists, 'NO, NO TRUCE TEAM FOR NOVA SCOTIA QUEEN'S PARK Police Act Heats Sluggish Session BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO --Except for the Tast few days the first ten weeks of the session were not distinguished, For the most part the House slumbered along. There was the budget, with its relatively mild tax. in- creases. And there was some quite important legislation -- notably education bills which start a move towards larger units of local government. But except for the Police Act incident the House didn't catch fire. 'AWAKE NOW The second part will be bet- ter, The most important and con- troversial business is still to come. And not only that but the House is now alive. The Police Act battle shook the members out of any leth- argy. They showed this in the final stages before the recess when they gave Hon. Louis Cecile 4 very rough time on his welfare estimates. This was unprecedented. Tra- ditionally Mr. Cecile has had an easier time with his estimates than any minister in the House. He did invte some attack by making a. caustic remark about the NDP but nothing such as he actually received, The storm signals therefore are up. And there is plenty of fighting aground. Even before the Police Act controversy it had been ex- pected that there would be trouble with the attorney-gen- eral's estimates. Now they should get a dra- matic going-over with probably a full debate on crime. Education is regarded as the most important topic of the day and there will be a sharp divi- sion in the House over the govy- ernment's policies. Also, the department still has to bring in its legislation to set up a department of university affairs. And through this its handling of the university situ- ation is bound to come in for criticism. Economics and development was the big feature last year when the trade crusade was new: : It doesn't have the same prominence now. But a new minister, Hon, Stanley Randall, is heading the department and will be under fire, And with lands and forests, Hon. Kelso Roberts is the min- ister. And Mr. Robarts has been a favorite opposition target for years.

OTTAWA REPORT Departments Now Work In Harmony By PATRICK NICHULSUN OTTAWA -- The most widely publicized friction within the Diefenbaker cabinet in its lat- ter days was the split between Defence Minister Douglas Hark- ness and Foreign Minister How- ard Green on the subject of nu- clear weapons. : Mr. Harkness urged the ac- ceptance of nuclear warheads for vehicles already acquired, to provide the best possible de- fence for Canada, and to honor our international commitments. Mr. Green, prominent in- ap- pealing for nuclear disarma- ment on an international scale, wanted Canada to give a lead. Like so many of the head- lined Diefenbaker crises, this arose solely from the dis- astrously incompetent public re- lations of the whole Diefen- baker apparatus. There was nothing inconsist- ent in the viewpoint of Messrs. Harkness and Green. YOUR HEALTH Doug Harkness was not op- posed to the realistic and in- deed humanitarian aim of nu- clear disarmament. He merely insisted that we should not stand naked and unprotected in a nuclear-armed world; that, un- til international. agreement on nuclear disarmament had been attained, we like others should be prepared to defend ourselves as effectively as possible--and this entailed the temporary po- sitioning of nuclear warheads for our forces. Mr. Green, per- haps unrealistically, argued that this step would weaken his ap- peal. WHITE PAPER CLARITY The recent publication of the Pearson government's white paper on defence shows clearly that our departments of exter- nal affairs and defence are now working in complete harmony, and have arrived at "a defence policy which is not dissociated from foreign policy, yet has the Profuse Sweating Common Problem By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I am an emotional, nervous person and have perspired profusely under the arms all my adult life. This has caused embarrassment and annoyance. Lately I have used: a pre- scription of 25 per ceat alumi- num chloride before retiring at night, This seems to check the flow considerably and I am pleased with the result, but could it be dangerous? That is, could it interfere with the func- tion of the glands, since I've read that glandular disturbance plays a part in formation of cancer?--P.L, First of all, profuse perspir- ation is a rather frequent prob- lem. The aluminum chloride solu- tion is very effective and I have recommended it frequertly for cases in which the commer- cial anti-perspirants do not help enough. (My suggestion is a solution of from 19 to 25 per cent. It takes some experiment- ing to find the proportion which is best for each individual.) In some, the 25 per cent solu. tion may cause local skin ir- ritation. These people should stop for a few days then use a weaker solution, Irritation (if thee is uny) is the only thing to fear---not can- cer. The sweat glands are the only ones involved. Although the weather is now flavored with spring the fore- going letter was written while we were still subme 'ged in win- ter. This shows that people with really excessive perspiration problems don't have them just in summer. They have them the year round. But the alum- inum chloride solution is timely now and it can be helpful for a great many people as the weather grows warmer. You take a bit of cotton and swab the solution on the areas in which the sweat glands are too active. Then just leave it there. To indicate how serioust he problem is to some, here's an- other letter: q ark save Corby's soft, smooth, true Canadian whisky. Aged 10 years in wood. Now available.

Corby Distillery Limited, Montreal 723-4634 objective of Keeping me peace by supporting collective gefence measures to deter milifary ag- gression." A world nuclear holocaust is ; unlikely, this white paper tells us; but the advocates of world government will welcome the . hint that Canada take a first step in this direction by main- taining at the ready an appropri- ate contribution to any required international peace - keeping force raised by the United Na- tions. 4 "It is essential that a nation's diplomacy be backed up by adequate and flexible military forces to permit participation in collective security and peace- keeping, and to be ready for crises should they arise," says the white paper The proud degree of readiness of Canada's forces was under- lined by Prime Minister Pear- son recently, when he confided to a hand-picked Liberal aud- ience that "when we decided to send the first small advance con- tingent to Cyprus, they were off within half. an hour of the order being given." CANADA AS PEACEKEEPER The range of potential con- 'lict extends from the possibil- itv of all - out thermonuclear war, through large-scale lim- ited war, to insurrection, guers rilla activity and political up- heaval, the white paper says, adding that of these, in the scale of probability, nuclear and ma- jor non-nuclear war are the least likely, provided, the bal- ance of deterrence is main- tained. "Since the war Canada's armed forces have been en- gaged increasingly in peace- keeping operations, mostly un- der the auspices of the United Nations, These operations have varied in size and scope." They range, explains the white paper, from mixed mill tary observer teams in Kash- mir, Palestine, Lebanon and Ye- men, to large-scale fighting con- tingents under UN command, like our Korea brigade. "Cana- dian military personnel have participated in virtually all of the operations conducted by the United Nations." That is a proud record, made possible by the trust and respect in which we are held by all nations on both sides of the Iron Curtain as well as in the emerging cun- tinents. Time is a factor in the suc- cess of such operations, , and this is a valid reason for the proposed unification of our de- fence forces.
