hye Oshawa Fimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St, E., Oshawa, Ontario _T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Premier Should Make Clear Pension Policy Premier Robarts may know exactly where he is going on the pension trail, but most of the rest of us are thoroughly confused. He is beginning to sound like someone in a TV commercial -- does he or doesn't he? Surely the pension question has been kicked around long enough now for Ontario's course to be clearly charted. The Legislature will be meeting again in few days, and Mr.. Robarts should take the earliest opportunity to tell the assembly and the pro- vince what the government pro- poses to do about pensions. In a luncheon address this week, Mr. Robarts said that Ontario would be surrendering its constitu- tional right if jt entered the pro- posed federal pension plan, but he gave no definite indication on what the province's position would be. The obvious alternative, of course, would be for Ontario to go ahead with its own plan, as Quebec is doing, and at the moment that Our Lasting By REV. N. T. HOLMES Harmony United Church What are the real and lasting rewards of life? Are these to be found in one's wealth? Perhaps you feel that real reward is found in a position of fame or of some high office with its accompanying auth- ority, prestige and income. All of these things are, in themselves, re- wards, and bring some satisfaction, put one wonders if folk do not seek further. rewards, rewards of the heart. Picture a man who has been with his company for many years, and has done satisfactory work, so much ao that he knows that he is an in- tegral part of that company. Still he will feel rewarded, as much as by a raise in salary or by a bonus, if someone in higher position were to come to him and give words of praise for the steady and careful work which he has done. _is what many political observers are flatly predicting Mr. Robarts will do. Mr. Robarts was hostile to the federal plan when it was first pro- posed. His attitude stiffened when Judy LaMarsh made a shrill and shrewish entry into last year's Ontario general election campaign. Then his attitude softened in dis- cussions with Prime Minister Pear- son. At that stage Mr. Robarts seemed to support the federal plan_ in principle but not in detail. Now he seems inclined to go it alone, apparently after having had a peek at Mr. Lesage's plan for Quebec. Mr. Robarts may be trying a power play -- an attempt to force the federal authorities to shape their plan more to his liking. He may prefer to follow Quebec, but is hesitating because of the possible political consequences. In any event, it is now time for him to let the people of Ontario know what his government plans to do. Rewards Picture a newcomer in the city. He and his family have their work, their Church and their school, and all seems to be going well. But somehow they are lonely until they are rewarded by a thoughtful com- munity of neighbors who take them into the life of that community. Picture the situation presented in that story in the Bible where two very discouraged men were jour- neying to a small vilage some five miles west of Jerusalem. Their dis- couragement was mainly due to their own dullness of understand- ing about Jesus and His interpreta- tion of the Messiah's relation to God and to men, They were rewarded by the awareness of Jesus' Pre- sence, and by new insights. They were rewarded too in having the privilege of telling others of the great assurance that was theirs -- that Jesus lives for all. Ten-Year-Old Smears Sensational reports of two inter- views allegedly given by the late General Douglas MacArthur 10 years ago have revived the bitter- ness of the dispute over the conduct of the Korean war that led to the ending of his military career. The picture of MacArthur that emerges from the interviews is that of an angry, frustrated egomaniac, full of fantastic plans for "total victory" and lashing out at friend and enemy alike because they would not support those plans. It may well be that in moments of dark depression a man with Mac- Arthur's ego and pride would make such comments as those now pub- lished, But only the general himself could confirm whether the com- ments were actually made -- or made more in jest than anger -- and he is dead. The man who was probably closer to MacArthur than any other, Maj. Gen. Courtney Whitney, has called the more sen- sational of, the interviews '"'fic- tional nonsense".

U.S.A. and foreign 24.00, friend, issued a furious statement which said in part: "T have been shocked to read... of a purported exclusive interview given... by General MacArthur in 1954 which tended to impugn the character and military competence of such distinguished commanders as Generals Maxwell D. Taylor, Matthew Ridgway and John KE. Hull and the integrity of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a life-long friend and comrade. The' corres- pondent stated I was present. The report of the interview is fictional nonsense." The accuracy of the reports is therefore gravely questioned. But at this stage, their accuracy is not the important point. Why was it thought necessary to publish them, after they| had been kept out of print for 10 years? They do not fill vital gaps in public knowledge of the Korean affair. MacArthur was given every opportunity to present his side of the story at the time. The correspondents may or may not be guilty of inaccuracy. There are certainly guilty of bad taste. Other Editors' Views 'BLOATED' UNIVERSITIES. (Kingson Whig Standard) Our universities are . over- extended, bloated with excres- cences in the form of faculties and departments which should never have been admitted. Univer- sities, in our view, are tradition- ally intended not as forcing houses for any art profession, business. or other calling. They are for the purpose of encouraging discursive thinking, pure scholarship. They are for the purpose-of turning out people who have.been trained to think and as a conse- quence, fit in anywhere, m who can, QUEBEC OPINION Pension Plan Difficult Without Big This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada. Granby La Voix de l'Est-- If Canada is not attracting more tourists from Europe, it is» because Europeans don't know our country or have the wrong idea about it. Proof of this is the comment of a re- cent Canadian mission on tourism that travelled in Eu- rope. The comment is simply shat- tering. It is incomprehensible that Canada should be so poorly known, not only to Europeans in general but to the travel agencies that give out information about our country. Over there they: have the impression that big cities and well-organized country resorts do not exist here. The general public thinks of Canada as a veny remote country, re- nowned for the beauty of its landscapes, but cold and im- mense. They seem surprised if they iearn that costs of accommodation, transporta- tion and meals are reasonable in this country. They are more surprised to find out that our climate is very agreeable in winter as in summer and that everywhere there are guest services capa- ble of satisfying the most rigorous demands, Such findings certainly de- mand that Canada take a lit- tle better care of its reputa- tion in Europe, particularly with the approach of the 1967 world's fair. The main reasons for trips to Canada at present are of business. and family natures. More of our advertising effort should be aimed at people travelling just for pleasure and relaxation. . . . (April 2) Quebec L'Evenement--The establishment of a _ pension fund isn't going to be a cur- rent event if one can judge by the statements of Pre- miers Jean Lesage and John Robarts at the federal-provin- cial conference. The federal government and the provinces don't seem sufficiently . en- lightened to adopt a definitive attitude on this subject. With- out Quebec's participation, Ontario would rather exclude itself from the project pie- sented by Ottawa, which failed to consult the provinces ade- quately before working out a scheme that has been modi- fied several' times without prior discussion among the in- terested parties. Premier Jean Lesage af- firmed once again that he would not yield to the joint pressures of the federal and Ontario governments in the matter of the establishment of a particular pension plan for the province of Quebec. 'He knows very well, however, that this particular plan can- not work without the approval of the provinces, of industry and business, if it is to have a national scope, given the Provinces mobility of the working force throughout the country. ... There is no doubt that the federal governmnet will find itself faced with a grave prob- lem if Quebec and. Ontario both decide to establish their own plans and refuse to col- laborate with Ottawa. A uniquely provincial pension fund, functioning solely in our province, will require a large staff and prove costly. Every- thing connected with social security concerns all govern- ments and a further effort ought to be made to bring about unanimity in this field. (April 2) Montreal La Presse -- 'The Quebec conference was dis- appointing, notably in the fis- cal sphere. The Lesage gov- ernment obtained absolutely nothing from Ottawa. there. Not a penny. In other words the Pearson administration has ignored the ultimatum issued by the Quebec premier around this time last year. The federal cabinet, we are told,is to re- study the whole question at once. But it would be self- delusion to hope for a last- minute retreat. The federal YOUR HEALTH finance minister, Mr. Gordon, will not allow it. Ottawa has found a strata- gem for not giving too much money to the provinces too soon. It has proposed a joint committee to study the prob- lem to its depth. During this time the status quo will pre- vail. That is what' Quebec cannot accept. Quebec needs increased sources of revenue immediately. Not in one year or two, but right now. It would not be surprising if Mr. Lesage refused to participate in this committee, For the Quebec administra- tion, the federal government's refusal to budge has some- thing tragic about it. The province will have to resort to double taxation, Resign itself to costly borrowing or put the brakes on its "policy of greatness."" The Quebec taxpayer must expect dis- agreeable news in the next provincial budget speech. ; On the other hand, we must not fail to point out that one of the salient' facts of this latest conference was Que- bec's method, more concrete than ever before, of doing battle. Quebec did not stay in the remote arena of prin- ciples. It met its partner on his own ground: statistics. This confrontation showed that Quebec was really seri- ous and capable of adapting itself to the adversary's style. The latter has even begun to doubt himself. This was no- ticed in :connection with the federal pension plan. . . .-- Vincent Prince. (April 3) Cataract Removed Woman Delighted By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: After read- ing your recent article about cataracts I find I must sit down and encourage anyone who has them. Most people have a very vague awareness until con- fronted with the problem, which was my Case, Mine were fast-growing, which has an advantage: You can see again sooner because you are operated sooner. Tell your readers not to fear the operation. It does not hurt, and by following the doctor's or- ders to the letter they will be fine, I now have contact lenses and they are wonderful. No one knows, unless they are told, that I ever had an operation on mv eyes. I could see enough to get around after the operation, but no detail of things. With the lenses, my vision is better than it was before the cataracts. One jast thing: People should not believe all they hear. They should consult their doctors. I was told the most ° fantastic things about what to expect by friends who meant well but did not know what they were ta'k- ing about.--Mrs. H.W.

Dear Dr. Molner: I've been on a diet for 40 days. I lost 10 pounds the first week but noth- ing for the past month. I now weigh 130 pounds and have been consuming only 1,200 calories daily. Is this a normal re- action?--Mrs, C.S. You don't mention your height, what kind of a diet, and whether you are consciously (or unconsciously) cheating. Or how much you exercise. Or how close you are to your normal weight. Or whether you are on a low-salt diet. Yet every one of these things can be important in determin- ing whether your reaction--fast loss at first, then no loss -- is normal. But I strongly suspect that the 10 pounds you lost in the first week were mostly water. It is fairly easy to lose several pounds of moisture, as athletes do when they start training. They lose it in practice, but a few glasses of water or milk, and the "weight" is back again by. the next morning. You, Mrs. C.S., may have reached the weight that is proper for you. With the amount of exercise you get, and your actual caloric needs, 1,200 a day may be correct for you. I can't categorically answer your question you see, but witn the foregoing comments you may now be able to answer it yourself. UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Politicians Mark Time During Holiday Recess By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special Tondon (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The Easter holi- day recess of parliament pro- duced an air of deadly quietude around Westminster. Ministers have scattered far.and wide for a respite from the duties of office. Opposition shadow cab- inet members have done like- wise. Controversial issues have disappeared from the columns of the national press, leaving ample space to devote to the pictures and stories of the wed- ding of the prime minister's daughter. These dominated front pages, and such matters as the resale price maintenance legislation have been dropped for the time being. We seem to be living in a hiatus between the fiery pre-Easter debates and speeches and those which will come when the parliamentary scssion is resumed. One department, however, was burning the midnight oil during the Easter season -- the department of labor, It was faced with the prospect'of a long-drawn out overtime ban and work-to-rule campaign by th» electrical workers' unions. But even the threat of that dis- appeared much more quickly than had been anticinated. POLITICAL DSCISION The spirit of Eastertide had nothing to do with the quick end of power unions' revolt. If any- thing, it was ended by a political decision. This was indicated by the very speedy intervention in the dispute by the general coun- cil of the Trades Union Con- gress. Normally, the TUC intervenes in industrial disputes with re- luctance and only as a last re- BY-CONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO April 11 ,1924 A bus service was started be- tween Oshawa and Port Perry with Myrtle included in one' of the daily runs. An Oshawa branch of the Royal Templars of Temper- ance was formed with 30 mem- bers. Norman Mallett was elected president of the Church Base- ball League in which 13 teams were entered. A Spars and J. Lovell were elected vice-presi- dents, and J. Purdy secretary. The Ontario Reformer gave away thousands of marbles and jacks to children who planned to enter the Dominion cham- pionship contest. Express service was refused to Cedardale and that part of the city east of Ritson road and south of Eulalie avenue, be- cause the size of the population of those districts did not war- om delivery. tntod sort after strike action has threatened to be of extended duration. But, because of the political implications of labor trouble in an election year, the TUC jumped quickly off the mark and intervened actively in the dispute before the unions' restrictive measures were fairly under way. Within 24 hours, the minister of labor agreed to set up a court of inquiry. In 48 hours, the unions had. accepted this, the overtime ban and work to rule were called off, and the danger of a power shortage was over. ON BOTH SIDES Political fears on both' sides hastened this quick action, The Labor party realized that any extended period of power short- age, with possible closing of in- dustries would do irresponsible harm to the party's election changes. It wanted a quick settlement. Hence the speedy in- tervention by the TUC, On the other hand, the. fact that the dispute involved a na- tionalized industry, subject to certain aspects of governmental control or even dictation, made the government vulnerable to labor claims that its pay re- straint policies were at the root of the dispute. So the minister of labor accepted the proposal for a court of inquiry to end a difficult situation, And so it be- came a_case of all's well that ends well -- for both parties. GERMAN DEMANDS In spite of partnership in NATO and in the Council of Europe, a strong distrust of West Germany still lingers in the minds of many British peo- ple. They cannot forget or for- give the terror that was un'eash- ed on civilians -- men, women and children -- by the bomb- ings of Hitler's war. Many are still sceptical of a real change of heart on the part of the Ger- man people, and are becoming fearful of the possibility that the growing military power of West Germany might pose a threat to peace in the future. That feeling has been intensi- fied by a recent widely, publi- cized speech of West German Chancellor Dr. Erhard, in which he declared Germany would never renounce its rights to the eastern territories lost to Poland through the second world war. These territories, East Prussia, Silesia and Pomeria, ceded to Poland after the war, legiti- mately belonged to Germany, which would never renounce its demands to have them returned, Erhard declared. This is a continuation of, the demands former Chancellor Adenauer make on several oc- casions, and it is in fact, the bedrock of German foreign pol- icy.'The great aim is to secure the return of these territories. There is only one way in which West Germany could bring about their return -- by a successful war of re-conquest, in which Germany would chal- lenge the might of Soviet Rus- sia. The British public recognizes this to be a fact, They, there- fore, shudder to think of the consequences if a resurgent and re-arnmed Germany _ should decide to try to regain these territories by force of arms. The British public fear that this would embroil their country, as an ally, in another world war. This is the compelling reason why the British government is strongly opposed to West Ger- many being allowed to become a nuclear power, with nuclear weapons. Other kinds of conces- sions in the interests of Euro- pean defence have been. made by Britain but on that point, the governmen: stands firm, So the demand of Erhard that all the territory Germany had ii 1937 de returned by the Com- munists is received in Britain with strong misgivings. Erhard may claim these provinces can be returned by peaceful nego- tiations. But the well-informed Britishers know how impossible that is, and deeply distrust the intentions of the West German Chancellor, as they did those of his predecessor Adenhauer. YOUR INCOME TAX Medical Expense Claims Questioned .By WILLIAM C. HALL B. Comm., CA Question: Is it possible to claim medical expenses paid in 1962 on my 1963 income tax returns? Answer: Yes. You may claim medical expenses paid within any 12-month period ending in the taxation year. An extreme illustration would be a claim for medical expenses paid in a period commencing January 2, 1962 and ending January 1, 1963. K. T. Kellar was app to the position of general man- ager of General Motors of Can- ada. A building permit to the amount of $375 was issued to W. J. Holland for the Parks Board for the erection of a buf- falo shelter at Lakeview Park. A radio concert was broad- casted from "The-Radio Shop," Simcoe street north, under the direction of Don McKay. A prize was offered to the first person who phoned in and iden- tified a musical selection play- ed by Miss Clemens. City Engineer W. C. Smith arranged for city council to see a demonstration of the new street flusher before final ar- rangements were made for the purchase of this equipment. The Y's Men's Club held Char- ter Night at the YMCA. -Presi- dent H. J. Spanton received the charter on behalf of the club. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS april 11, 1964... The. Stone of Scone, stolen from Westminster Abbey Dec. 15, was recovered by police at Arbroath Abbey 13 years ago today--in 1951. The 485-pound stone was stolen by Scottish students to direct attention to their efforts to ebtain an au on- omous Scotish parliament. Three men.and a woman admitted the.theft, but were not prosecuted: British sov- ereigns have been crowned while seated on the stone since it was brought to Lon- don in 1296. 1814--Napoleon abdicated. 1951--Gen, Douglas' Mac- Arthur was removed from all military posts in the Far East by President Truman.

It is pointed out, however, that the 12 - month periods can not oevriap. That is, you can not claim on your 1963 income tax return medical ex- penses for the period January 2, 1962 to January 1, 1963 if, for example, a medical bill paid on March 15, 1962 was claimed on your 1962 income tax return. Of course the same bill can not be claimed on both your 1962 and 1963 income tax returns, Question: Would the admis- sion fee I paid in 1963 to a professional association qualify as a deduction for income tax 4 ; Answer: No. Fees paid for dmission to a professional bod: are considered a "capii out- lay and are not deductible. The annual fees required to retain membership, however, are deemed as paid out to earn in- come; and can be deducted. Question: I rent a house lo- cated approximately 50 miles 'from my residence, Last year it was necessary for me to use my car and visit the tenants several times in order to col- lect the rent. As a result of these visits I was able to col- lect the rent, which amount I must report as income. Can I deduct my aut bile ext from the income? Answer: No. Auto expenses in- curred in collecting rents are not deductible for income tax purposes. Note, however, this ll rule would not necessarily ap- ply if one were in the business of renting property, or in the business of collecting rents. The above restriction is directed at individuals receiving rent which constitutes investment income. Question: Would you please explain the purpose of the for- eign tax credit found in- the "Calculation of Tax" section of a Tl General income tax re- turn? Answer: The provisions of the Income Tax Act pertaining to foreign tax credits are design: ed primarily to alleviate double taxation, That is, a person re- ceiving income in the form of dividends, interest, etc., from a foreign country often receives a "net" amount after tax is with- held by the foreign-resident pay- or. However, in the prepara- tion.of a Tl General income tax return the recipient must report the "'gross'" foreign income re- ceived. The calculation on the Ti General income tax return providing for a deduction from federal tax payable of: (a) the foreign tax paid, or (b) that pro- portion of tax payable that the foreign inéome bears to total income whichever is lesser, mitigates the hardship ef pay- ing both foreign and federal tax on the same income, RUGS UPHOLSTERY BROADLOOM DRAPES CLEANED Professionally OSHAWA CLEANERS CALL 725-9961 SERVICE STATIONS OPEN THIS SUNDAY 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. 531 RITON PRESTON'S SUNOCO STATION 925 SIMCOE ST, NORTH _ CRANFIELD'S B-A STATION 331 PARK RD.
