She Oshawa Zines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1964--PAGE 6 Population Threatens To Swamp Poor Lands * The controversy over birth con- trol information and practice con- tinues to flare, in church circles, in scientific symposiums,.in welfare discussions and in political arenas. _ And it cannot help but grow hotter, as the world's population continues to explode -- and as governments, like that of Canada, desperately try to pretend that it is not-a major public issue. The discussion could be kept more or less at the academic level were the question of birth control not inseparably linked with far-reach- ing social and economic questions. High birth rates in many under- developed nations, for example, are more than wiping out productivity gains; lack of control may doom those nations to continuing poverty. If the present rate of increase con- tinues, there will be 600 million people in South America by the year 2000. At the present rate, too, in another 20 years, Asia's popula- tion will reach 2,200 million, which is more than double the population in 1920. One country trying to do some- thing. about the problem is India, which had a population of 238 mil- lion in 1901 and now has a popula- tion of 464 -- and still increasing at a very high rate. The Indian and Foreign Review, of New Delhi, recently commented: Reduction in the death rate and increment in the expectancy of life -- the twin fruits of rising standards of living in recent years -- have helped to accelerate the rate of population growth in India which, if not check- ed, threatens to outbalance the gains of economic development under the Five Year Plans. The government and planners are fully seized of this problem. 'The official policy has been to aim at stabilizing the population at a level consistent with the requirements of economic growth. This policy is reflected in a widespread program of family planning." To India, as to countries in a similar predicament, the question is far from academic. The Need Of Our Time *« BY REV. W. A. McMILLAN Minister Of The Free Methodist Church Tomorrow the Christian church will celebrate its origin, which took place over nineteen hundred years ago, on the day of Pentecost. Pente- cost is the name of one of the seven feasts in the Jewish ecclesiastical calendar. It is the only one of the seven that has been adopted into the Christian vocabulary, presum- ably because of its association with the birth of the Christian church. Many Pentecosts had gone before. This one was set apart in God's talendar for the occasion of this great event, Never has the Christ- fan church seen a more glorious day than the day of Pentecost, when its one-hundred and twenty charter members were filled with the Holy Spirit of power. co When God' thus launched the Christian church upon its mission to the world, it was without political influence, financial backing, and any specialised leadership, and for many Communist It was George F. Kennan who first outlined, in 1947. what until very recent years was the single American policy toward the "Com- Munist world" --that of contain- ment. In those days there was reason for considering that a mono- lithic Communist world existed. Stalin dictated to that world. Kennan now points out in a new book, "On Dealing With the Com- munist World," that the Communist world. as such no longer exists -- its place has been taken by many communisms. The Soviet Union under Khrush- chev, for one reason or another, emphasizes butter over guns. It still has the guns -- and huge nuclear power -- but it recognizes that major war is not the path to world conquest, but to world destruction. Danger from that quarter has at least lessened.

But at Pen- tecost she was given a power which made her "mighty through God to the pulling down of Satan's strong- holds." Many people think that a fuller realisation of the promise of Pente- cost awaits the church of our day. And there are attempts being made to get back to the simplicity of the primitive church's ways. We can do nothing better, provided we go back far enough -- back to Pentecost -- back to that vital aspect of the whole pentecostal phenomenon, the being filled with the Holy Spirit. Without the church and its var- ious institutions, the Sunday School, and the Bible, the world would not be a fit place in which to live. But the Christian church is in danger of being swamped with a flood of the commonplace, and only a spiri- tual re-birth will save her from ap- palling mediocrity. May Baring- Gould's vision of the church in his hymn "Onward Christian Soldiers" become a reality in our time! Difference There exist Stalinist type com- munisms -- most notably in China. There are Stalinist advocates in many of the poorer nations where Communists still believe that their main hope for success is revolution and: terror. But eastern Europe, once visioned-as the base for Soviet power and both a bolster and a buffer for Soviet machnations, seems to be breaking into national- istic states. The communism of Poland is different from that of Albania. The West has long been able to deal with Yugoslavia; Bul- garia is still far from a nurturer of trust and peace. Hungary and Czecho-Slovakia show signs of un- Communistic tendencies, such as in- creased interest in western culture, travel and trade. Differences in the Communist 'world," Kennan points out, are now as great as in the rest of the world. It is to our interest, he says, to deal with each segment as it is and not as part of a monolithic bloc. Kennan's argument is not new. It merely adds another powerful voice to advocacy of more flexibility in the West's aproach to the Com- munist nations. Bible Thought Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. -- Romans 5:1. Around the world souls are on a quest for peace with God. They will arrive, not by tortures, not by penances, not- by works, but by faith. MODEL OF A MODERN MAJOR-GENERAL QUEBEC OPINION GM Announcement Wonderful This is a selection of ed- itorials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada. Montreal La Presse -- The reasons for the Quebec gov- ernment's satisfaction are ob- vious. Everything that can in- crease the number of jobs, reduce unemployment, stimu- late the economy is greeted as good news. The particular kind of manufacturing to be installed in Ste. Therese is an- other ground for satisfaction. The automobile industry has existed in Canada since 1904. Quebec waited 60 years be- fore this prestigious industry elected to take up residence on its soil. More important still is the psychological advantage of which the government is as- sured by the recently an- nounced decision. "What's good for General Motors is good for the country," an en- thusiast once said. Good a!so for every other industry in- vited to come and set up shop among us. In this good news, the uneasy persons who see in the current intellectual ferm- ent the promise of economic catastrophe will have a hard time finding any confirmation of their dire predictions. One swallow does not make a summer. This did not stop Mr. Lesage from painting the portrait of a Quebec steei in- dustry more radiantly than ever before. ... In this news so joyously re- ported. there is, all the same, News sométhing that jostles certain habits of thought. One had been led to understand that American investments in the province and in Canada had already reached a disturbing level and that it was impera- tive to diversify investment sources as much as possible. It behooves us once again to recognize that all the eggs are in the same basket... --Guy Cormier. (May 4.) Quebec Le Soleil--When a Canadian prime minister him- self urges the adoption of a distinctive national flag, that is certainly an encouraging note that indicates the coun- try ig finally on the way to getting what it ought to have had a long time ago. Canada, which, in terms of facts and institutions, exer- cises all the prerogatives of sovereignty, has until now been inconceivably lax in pro- claiming the external attri- butes of this sovereignty. In the very stronghold of the partisans of the Red En- sign, which is not a satisfac- tory flag for Canada, English and French alike, Mr. Pear- son put forward the idea of a distinctive national flag. In front of the members of the Royal Canadian Legion he stated that Canadians would be more united with the adop- tion of new symbols... . What the majority of Cana- dians seem to want is a flag that would be unequivocally curs. Ought this flag to recall, BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO May 16, 1924 Rev. C. R. dePencier, assisted by the Rt. Rev. James Sweeney, Bishop of Toronto, and Vener- able Archdeacon Warren, dedi- cated the new St. George's Anglican Church. Gordon Whitfield was appoint- ed postmaster at Whitby. The Ontario Regimental Band, under the direction of Band- master §. Trew, presented a fine concert in the Regent The- atre. Mrs. Grant Berry was guest soloist, Fire Chief Joseph Lane of the General Motors Fire Depart- ment worked out a system for denoting the location of a fire by the use of a series of whistles. At a meeting of the Board of Education P. H, Punshon, school .attendance officer, re- ported that enrolment in public schools was 2,675 for April with an average attendance of 2,442. A total of 404 were enrolled at the High School, Dr. James Moore of Brooklin, was elected president of the On- tario County Medical Asso- ciation for his third successive term. Mrs*€: A. Kinnear was unani- mously elected president of the Centre Street Home and School Club for a fourth term. Other officers eleced were Miss E. A. Found, and Miss F< Saywell, vice-presidents; Mrs. B. C. pus, secretary, and Miss. E, Currie, treasurer. Charles Bowra purchased the electrical business of McKenzie Penfound. Fred W. Cowan donated to the new St, George's Anglican Church a stained-glass window in memory of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Cowan, and his uncles, John Cowan and James Cowan, all of whom were for more than half a century mem- bers of the church. The window was placed in the chancel at. the easi end of the church. w. C.

A typically Canadian flag, with- out any reference to this sort of past, could without doubt promote the unity of a country that has also exerted an ap- peal to all nationalities. One thing is certain. We must act without delay in this matter. Our national! pride is in- volved. ... (May 5) Montreal-Matin -- Have we a@ business sense? Most cer- tainly. And why shouldn't we? Why would such a thing be- long exclusively to the Anglo- Saxon heritage? Prejudices, like packaged ideas, are durable. Because we have not yet succeeded in making our full mark in the realm of great industries, you hear it said: "Oh, those French - Canadians, they haven't got the knack for bus- iness. They make excellent employees, for sure, but when it comes to managing an en- terprise, that's another story. Let them therefore leave it to us, Anglo-Saxons, who have the experience, the money, etc. Let them attend to their cultural affairs and leave us to worry about business.' That's a short-sighted view, it goes without saying, and it would not be worth mention- ing, were it not so widespread. We are not such bad man- agers as they would have us believe, the old bankruptcy argument not withstanding. This argument has been ex- ploded by a little investigation carried out by the council for economic expansion (a private Quebec business group), the results of which are pub- lished in its journal. The investigation deals with the first three months of 1964. It reveals that 72 per cent of the bankruptcies in Quebec no connection with French-Canadians, Who would have believed it? When it is stated the num- ber of bankruptcies in our province is higher than else- where, people think at once that the blame belongs to French - speaking Quebecers. Each of us feels a little ashamed and our complexes get worse. Nobody had ever thought of analysing the na- ture of these bankruptcies and determining who was re- sponsible for them, Well, -it has finally been done and it is all to the good! French - Canadians have no vocation to be poor any more than Anglo-Saxons have to be ee Biases Langlois, (May UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Near East Situation Very Confused One By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For Thee Oshawa Times LONDON -- Britain is today paying a heavy price for the failure of its Suez intervention, along with France, in 1957. Be- cause that venture was called off, largely due to United States pressure in the United Nations. Organization, its main ob- jective, that of removing Presi- dent Nasser of Egypt from his place of authority, was thwart- ed. So today Britain is being forced into bitter military action to safeguard the protectorate of Aden and the South Arabian Federation from the designs of Egypt's president upon them. The fighting between British forces on the borders of the Yemen territory and the Aden protectorate is but a small foretaste of what might happen should Nasser try to carry out his threats to drive Britain out of the Aden and South Arabian territory. He has taken advan- tage of the Yemen rebellion of last year to plant 40,000 of his forces, equipped with weapons supplied by the Communist YOUR INCOME TAX world, in the Yemen, where they pose a formidable threat to Britain's interests in the Near East. CONFUSED SITUATION The situation in the Near East is a very confused one, but no one in Britain fails to recognize its dangers. Should Nasser's army of 40,000 men in the Yemen take the offensive against the British forces in Aden, Britain's man-power in that part of the world would be far short of what would be re- quired to hold the British pro- tectorates. And should Nasser succeed in his plans to drive Britain out of Arabian territory, Nasser's next move would sure- ly be directed against Israel, the real enemy so far as the Arabs are concerned. In a situation of this kind, little help is-expected from the United Nations, with its now large majority of Afro-Asian countries. Nor is there much hope here in Britain that the United States would speak strongly on bghalf of ft Britain should the situation worsen. It is felt in Britain that rela- tions between this country and Tax Amendments Are Discussed % By WILLIAM C. HALL B. Comm., CA Question: How will the 1964 incomee tax amendments af- rect an individual filing a T1 short or a Tl general income tax return? Answer! An individual will be permitted to make certain deductions in the computation of income. These are: (A.( Tuition fees (Section 11 (1) (qb) of the Income Tas Act) "where a taxpayer was dur- ing the year a student in full- time attendance at a univer- sity ouside Canada in a course leading to a degree, the amount of any fees for his tuition paid to the university in respect of a period not exceeding 12 months 'commencing in the year and not including in the calculation of a deduction under this subsection for a pre- vious year (except. any such fees paid in respect -of a course ess than consecutive weeks' duratiou);"' also, (Section 11 (1) (qc) of the Income Tax Act) "where q taxpayer was dur- ing the year a student enroll- ed at an educational institution in Canada (i) that is a university, col- lege or other educational insti- tution providing courses at a post-secondary school level, (ii) that is a school operated by or on behalf of Her Majesty in right of Canada or a prov- ince, a municipality in Can- ada, or a municipal or public * duct It would appear the follow- ing will derive benefit, (i) individuals taking classes at night to obtain a matricula- tion certificate or university degree, (ii) teachers taking courses to improve their teaching qual- ifications, (iii) individuals taking courses in business colleges or in vocational training (iv) individuals in full-time attendance at a univerity out- side Canada, (v) accountancy students. The legislation, presently leaves questions, example, (a) Can lawyers, dentists, doctors, etc., deduct the cost of post-graduate courses? (b) Will students be allowed to deduct the cost of tools nec- essary to take a course? (c) Will individuals living in rural areas be allowed to de- travelling costs neces- sary to obtain this training? (d) What qualifies as "an educational institution'? 'We point out that as previ- ously these fees are not de- ductible by the student's par- en but, regardless of who pays them, they are deductible in computing the student's. own income; also, where tution fees exceed $25 the entire amount is deductible, (not just the amount in excess of $25). and law however, for body performing a function of j government in Canada. (iii) that is a high schoo] or secondary school providing courses leading to a second- ary school certificate or dip- loma that is a requirement for entrance to a college or uni- versity, or (iv) that is certified by the Minister of Labor to be an educational institution by which courses are conducted that provide or improve the quali- fications of a person for em- ployment or for the carrying on of a business or profession, the amount of any fees for his tuition paid to the educa- tional institution in respect of a period not exceeding 12 months commencing in the year and not included in the calculation of a deduction under this sub- section for a previous year, if such amount: exceeds $25;" We comment as follows: This legislation which amends the existing Section 11 (1) (qb) of the Act and adds | paragraph (qc), has the effect of extending the deductibility of tuition fees -- to part-time students and also to students enga in a broader range of studies than heretofore.
