dhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont Page 8 Friday, February 27, 1959 Logical Time To Unify Three Armed Services Defence Minister Pearkes still has giv- en no indication of a comprehensive re- vision of defence policy, even though such a revision is clearly necessary. In- deed, he has given no indication of a comprehensive defence policy. The decision '0 use missiles instead of manned aircraft as a defence against aerial attack must have a profound in- fluence on the future of the Royal Ca- nadian Air Force, We are not building bombers or fighter aircraft, but we are building military transports and recon- naissance aircraft that can be used as submarine cha» rs, The RCAF thus be- comes a sort of military carrier and spot- ter, It has an air division in Europe eqilipped with fighter planes, but it is likely that this would be used more for support and defence of ground troops than for anything else if Western Eu- rope were attacked, Now would be the logical time for uni- fication of the three armed services. The savings in money and energy could be enormous. The chief rol- o' the Royal Canadian Navy is that of defending the sea ap- proaches against submarines. Its ships are principally sub-chasers, and its air Recovery In The traditional pattern of inter-reac- tion between the Canadian and U.S, ec- onomies appears to be breaking down. That is the conclusion reached in the Bank of Montreal's business review for February, It now appears that the level of business activity in Canada should not be considered as inevitably dependent on that of the United States, the review says, in discussing the degree of recov- ery from recession {1 both countries, Ra- ther the two economies seem to respond independently to similar influences. "In Canada, the recession of 1957 be- gan earlier, extended over a longer time and was less severe in degree than in the U.S. And it has now become clear that the Canadian recovery got under way sooner but has been more moderate," the review observes, Considered only in terms of the money value of aggregate output, it can be said that Canada, unlike the U.S, did not suffer a recession. But quantitatively, trends of output were less buoyant be- eause throughcut 1957 and in the early months of 1958, consumer prices rose steadily. On the other hand, the resur- gence of national production later in 1958 contained little element of price in- flation, Also, the trend of employment arm is designed to help and protect the carrying out of that task. In that role it can als¢ protect ti op transports at sea. The army is designed to be a small, highly mobile striking force. To achieve maximum mobility it must be transpor- ted by aircraft or surface vessels, More than ever, then, the three services are inter-dependent in the Canadian scheme of defence, Even if Gen, Pearkes shudders at the thought of navy, army and air force losing their separate identities, he must be aware of the advantages of integrat- ing them, If he considers full unification too sudden a move, he could consider a first step: the integration of the air force partly with the navy and partly with the army. The figures he gave the Commons this week showed how the government, willy-nilly, is moving in that direction. He said $807 million would be spread between the three services, thus: $37 million for the Borrarcs; $350 million for six destroyer escorts; $237 million for reconnaissance aircraft used as sub- chasers; $43 million for re-equipping the army, including provision for Lacrosse missiles; and $140 million for army transport planes, Canada, U.S. in Canada has been more stable than in the U.S. "In both countries, moreover, the in- crease in total output last year was achieved with a less than commensurate increase in employment. To some extent this reflected a lengthening of the aver- age work-week in manufacturing, fol- lowing a shortening of hours during the recession. But in addition it reflected significant gains in the productivity of the average worker." Throughout tie period, personal ex- penditure on consumer goods and serv- ices, accounting for the final purchase of about two-thirds of all national output, proved to be one of the steadiest sources of strength, and pérsonal outlays for services mounted consistently in both countries, In summary, the review says: "In both countries a revival of interest in new au- tomobiles and buoyant retail sales in general suggest that consumer demand has strengthened, and business inventory change has likely become a more positive influence, These indications augur well for continued morierate increases in out- put, employment and income in the montis ahead." People For The Vision lucks and snowshoes and show the Rus- sians that we, too, can build cities on the perma-frost, Russians may and manpower to open the far north. Canada's new "Vision of the north" pan only become a reality if Canadians are prepared to live and work in the north. And according to Prof. Kenneth Hare of McGill University, far too few Canadians are so prepared; we lack the interest and initiative to develop our northland heritage as it should be de- veloped. In an address at London, Ont, he compared Canada's efforts with what Russia is doing, »nd once again Russia got the better of the comparison. Canadians have not advanced much beyond the vision John Diefenbaker spoke about in the last election cam- paign. The Northland stays up in the Arctic circle, Canadians cling to the 49th parallel, They show little sign of meet- ing. Russia, according to Prof. Hare, is bending every effort to exploit its nor- thern reaches. Mcney and manpower is being lavished on a job Canadians are leaving to oil companies, trappers and gold miners. 'Canadians are not congregating in the colder climes. Russians to the num- ber of 280,000 are living in Archangel, 400 miles further north than the chilly village of Churchill, and 100,000 in Murmansk. . Dr. Hare intimates that Canadians should be a little ashamed of this, Our youth should be up and doing in muck- The Oshyaton Time T. L. WILSON, Publi 0 C.

Is it possible for Canada to spend money and manpower to develop the Northland. Rursia has been doing it for more than a hundied years. Back in the days of the czars they were spending money to transport the manpower to the Siberian salt mines. The money prcvided the one-way fares for unwilling manpower sent toward the pole, not so much to develop the chilly lands as to get rid of people, po- lice and politicians too often found in their hair, Other Editor's Views BACK IN SHAPE (Brantford &xpositor) This is the year the fashion designers have decided to give the girls their waistlines back. The shape of things to come is--shape, So a host of newspaper writers, col- umnists, comedians and minor wits can now stop hitting or panning the sack. The chemise will once more become what the dictionary always said it was. "A woman's undergarment," and the trapeze a swing for gymnastic exer- cises and circus acrobats.

He is providing one-a-day pep pills. Each sitting day he arranges it that his members get a shot in the arm and the public some ma- terial for hope--or dreams. MINISTERS NOW The pill period is during the throne speech debate--and pre- sumably it will continue during the budget debate when it is un- derway. Normally this is a back-bench- ers time to howl. It is their oc- casion to speak to the house and air their grievances. Historically cabinet ministers, who have many occasions to speak, do not play much part in the debate. But a few years ago Mr. Frost began having them take part giv- ing talks mainly centred on their departments. And now this practice has de- veloped to the stage where they are doing a lot of the talking. BIG NEWS Before the session started, it would seem, Mr. Frost decided that in this election year he wanted to make one big piece of news a day. And so each day--or at least practically every day--there is a ninieter ou his fet ur the tiebat BYGONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Announcement was made that Oshawa had received a charter from the Ontario Municipal Board allowing the town to be- come a city at noon on March 8, 1924. The population was 15,545. Work d on the dis with an important--and lengthy-- "announcement" to make. And finally the fact that when you deal with it in terms of prin- ciples, while the gas '"'scihdal" may have shown an abuse of the ideal, the fact is that the ideal for practical purposes just does not exist today. The fact is that stocks and the stock market ex- ists, and that to date no one has come . forward with a practical principle for dealing with them that is known, respected and fol- lowed by those in public life. PUBLIC RIGHT So what does the observer have to say about natural gas? Chiefly the hope that its prom- inence doesn't build it out of per- spective with the voters. That they won't be so clouded with it that they won't properly examine the approach of the vari- ous parties to the problems and needs of the day and their ca- pacity to meet them. With this it can be said it is a most optimistic hope. Experience has given every reason to believe that the voter does get through the clouds to the core of the real questions. Its judgment has seldom been very wrong. And this perhaps is a facet which as yet the opposition does not appreciate. If it did it might spend less time and thourht on scandal and more on progress. FOR BETTER HEALTH From Problem Drinking To Chronic Alcoholism HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD So you like to take a little drink now and then? Okay, most doctors agree there is, as a rule, nothing wrong with that. A reasonable amount of al- cohol will help you to relax. But if you drink more than a little, if you drink and drink and drink, you probably will be on your way to real trouble, WON'T ADMIT PROBLEM One of the biggest problems is to get an alcoholic person to recognize the fact that he is an alcoholic. His friends will know it, his family will know it, but the drinker himself generally will re- fuse to admit his status. How, then, can you tell if you are a problem drinker? Dr. Marvin A. Block, the ef- ficient chairman of the committee on alcoholism of the American Medical Association's Council on Mental Health, has devised a series of questions which will help you find the answer. SYMPTOMS OF ALCOHOLISM Be honest with yourself; an- swer each question truthfully. As a rule, do you drink alone? Do you always feel the need for a drink at a definite time of the aay? Do you go on frequent drinking sprees? Do you take a drink the first thing every morning? PROBLEM DRINKER Do you lose time from work be- cause of drinking or does it inter- fere with your efficiency or with your responsibilities" Do you ever have periods of loss of memory or blackouts, times when you cannot remem- ber what happened after drink- ing too much? Now look back over your an- swers. If you have answered even a single one of them "Yes," you may be beginning to have a prob- lem with your drinking. If you answered "Yes" to more than one, vou may be a beginning problem drinker right now Whether anyone progresses from a problem drinker to an actual alcoholic depends upon how much he drinks and why he does it. Even the problem drinker at times recognizes when he has had too much and is able to stop. He may deliberately get drunk to celebrate a special occasion or to drown his sorrows, so to speak, over some unfortunate occur- rence. The alcoholic gets drunk, too. He doesn't start out to get in- ebriated, but he almost always does. An alcoholic, you see, drinks compulsively. So better watch your step, or more appropriately, your drinks. QUESTION AND ANSWER Anxious: Is there a cure for shingles? I have had them for two years. Answer: The eruption of shin- gles does not ordinarily last for more than a few weeks, but the pain may persist for a long time. Treatment with radiation, X-ray or injections, will usually bring relief, "In what case shoulc the girl do the proposing?" some one asks a lovelorn columnist. Our answer would be: In case she wants to get married. mm of the organ in St. George's Church in preparation for removing it to the new church. Rev. A. M. Irwin, BA, pastor of King St. Church, remained with the congregation for a sixth year. The removal of the pipe organ from old St. George's Church to the new structure had resulted in a cheque being found in the organ tube, Licence Inspector Mason had lost the cheque in 1914 and how it came to be where it was remained a mystery.

The road to Toronto had been impassable for seven days and Smith Transport complained to the mayor that they had sev- eral trucks stuck between here and Toronto. Major Crowles of the Depart- ment of Education opened the new school at Pickering. Engineer Smith expressed his views on the site of the proposed new water tower and stated that the suggested College Hill site was unsuitable. In his opinion the only place for it was on the high school grounds. Dr. T. W. G. McKay, medical officer of health, announced that vaccination for smallpox would be provided at the expense of the local board of health without any charge to the person vaccinated. Dr. W. J. Langmaid and Miss Hillier were winners in a debate with Carl Irwin and Ada Kelly, at a meeting of the King St, Young People's League.

His sponta- neous activities along that trafl typify the poised threat of Parlia- ment, which is intended to keep government and bureau- eracy economy-minded. Lamprey Joe, a political adver- sary scoffed at him, when he was igniting the drive to rid our Great Lakes of that scourge of our fish- ermen; the mocking boomer- anged when Murphy's point was won and applauded. "Get that man Murphy off my back," screamed C. D. Howe, when Sarnia's MP was repeatedly demanding a parliamentary re. view of the need for more tech- nical training and research in Canada; then the Russian Sput- niks and Lunik streaked across our skies to show how right Mur- phy's thinking had been. Recently we have learned the wisdom of his long-expressed un- easiness about various aspects of Polymer, the Crown corporation manufacturing artificial rubber at Sarnia. Then there was the long trail of parliamentary questions which The Sarnia Sleuth asked about our tax money, frittered away on a Portuguese palace bought as temporary bunkhouse for our am- bassador in Brazil; and the at- Jendant mystery of the disappear- ing $30,500 of taxpayers' money, which was unsatisfactorily ex- plained as having been lost when some bureaucrat improperly in- volved us in the currency ex- change fluctuations of a third country. Now Murphy has done it again. He has focussed his wary eyes on . what many taxpayers have come to distrust as the lair of question- able artistic taste and experience --the National Gallery, whose es- timated cost to every taxpayer will jump an unexplained 50 per cent in this money-short year. It began when Murph made a routine enquiry as a visitor: an official told him that the gallery did indeed own a painting en- titled The Road, by Carl Henry Ahrens. But it is in the vault, can- not be seen, and had never been put on show since it was bought, the official said. So Sarnia's unofficial watchdog did some sniffing in Parliament.
