- The sharon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 68 King St. E,, Oshawa, Ont, Poge 4 Friday, Mey 1, 1989 Two Political Voices' Under One Ownership Sale of the Ottawa Journal had rumored for some time, A substantial and growing newspaper needs consid. erable financial resources to sustain its growth and assure its future, and since the profit margin in newspapers is small it Is difficult to bulld these re- sources from working capital, The new owners of the Journal, Victor Sifton and his assoclates, have the means of sssuring the Journal as healthy a fine ancial future as its great editorial names, Grattan O'Leary and I, Norman Smith, assuréd that the standard of its content of news and comment will re~ main high, The most Interesting feature of the sale, however, is that it gives ownere ship to a man who will now be respons sible for both Liberal and Conservative Yyolces,"" Mr, Bifton Is publisher of the Winnipeg Free Press, which has been Greater Use Never in the history of Ontario have so many thousands of people used and enjoyed the facilities of provincial parks as during the summer of 1058, Authority for that statement is Lands and Forests Minister Spooner, who predicts that 1050 will see even a further increase in park use, A survey of 85 parks where entrance and camping fees were collected showed that 928,000 automobiles entered in 1058, carrying 2,332,000 people, Vehicle per- mits numbered 207,751, which would in dicate that on the average each licensed vehicle entered one of the provincial parks on more than four oceasions dur- ing the season, The 55 parks with entrance and camp~ ing charges represented an increase of 11 over 1057, and 24 other parks were available to the public but had not been developed to a point where the depart. ment thought that services justified charges, There are also 18 park areas either reserved or acquired which will be developed "as demand requires," Six called the conscience of the Liberal pare ty, It has been for many years Canada's strongest voice in the enunciation of Liberal principles, and its adherence to those principles has more than once led it to criticize Liberal party policies, The Ottawa Journal stands in much the same relation to the Conservative party that the Free Press does to the Liberal, giving its interpretation of Cone servative doctrine and rebuking party leaders when It considered that they were straying from that doctrine, Mr, Bifton has given assurance that this will not change, Both the Journal and the Free Press hnve kept thelr political opinions to the editorial pages, however, They have kept thelr news columns free of bias, and this has added to the prestige of thelr desig~ nated pages of opinion, Of Parks additional areas are now being exams ined, The figures sound impressive, but the work done is no more than the people of the province require as their numbers grow and their recreation needs grow, Last year, for example, 74,726 camping permits were lssued, an increase of 70 per cent over 1087, The vehicle entrance permits showed a 38 per cent increase over 1957, Programs within the parks-- nature museums, nature trails, lectures and so on ~ attracted 146,681 persons, or 22 per cent more than in 1087, There will be a continued increasing demand on park facilities, And for that very reason there will be an increasing need for protection of wilderness areas that can be kept free of commercial ex~ ploitation, Ontario has made. considerable pro- gress in the development of parks, Six years ago there were just a half dozen and now there are more than 80 of various types. The progress is praise~ worthy, We trust it will be continued with energy, Bonus Experiment Ends The classic bon periment ' wv money payments in the province of Ale berta has ended. Last week some 41,000 Albertans got notice of the final "pare ticipation dividends" which, in two short years put some $22 millions from the public treasury into the pockets of its citizens, The Social Credit Government which, rose to power in Alberta on a depression, hatched up the scheme, to pay every adult $25 a month from the public trea- sury, And finally, with $350 million surplus in the treasury, and oll and gas wells pumping more than $30 millions more a year into the treasury, Premier Manning started the payments anyway, The legislature decided to give every adult citizen with ten years' residence, a cheque to cash at a bank for the sum of $20, This was fine while it lasted, Retail business spurted, Busy bank clerks had not the time to fully check up on all handing in $20 cheques. The resulting fraudulent claims soon grew into a public scandal as some residents and non-residents collected bonuses un« der fake names, Others brashly made the rounds of banks, using their own names. It was all money from Heaven, 675 people were charged and convicted with collecting payments they were not entitled to, Six of them were convicted of collecting fifty or more dividends each, In the-end the bonus was cut to $17.50, as gas revenues fell off, and now has gone out the word that the enw tire scheme is dead and done with, This year the Government required dividend collectors to submit written applications, and checked these most thoroughly before sending out its final payment last week, In future the surplus of gas and oil revenues are to be used for university scholarships, homes for the aged, and better care for emotionally disturbed children, Canadian Rain Makers Two young Canadians, Paul 8, Deni. son and Bernard Power, have given up just grumbling about the weather = they are going to do something about it. Having lived with its vagaries for several years in the Dominion Weather Service, in 1954 they founded their own weather engineering company in Mone treal to try to control it, With the backing of the Gatineau Power Company, several paper com= panies and some forest protection asso- ciations, they started experiment. with cloud seeding in an eight thousand square mile tes area in the Upper Ga- tineau, Of the twenty-eight months they have now worked on this project, twen« ty-three have provided valid statistical data.

Nature is notoriously inefficient as a rainmaker, and precipitates only about five per cent of available moisture in any storm situation, We, therefore, stimulate her to send down a bit more." What the company does is to release glver iodide from ground genevators which is then whirled upwards by ver tical air currents that occur naturally under storm conditions. Other Editor's Views TRAINED LEADERS (Sudbury Star) Running a country, or a municipality, is getting to be a job for the experts There are probably hundreds of muni= cipal councils in Canada where the elected representatives have but mea- ger knowledge of public administration on which to base important and bind- ing decisions, Under our present system we have wage-earning laboring men who sud- denly find themselevs in the position of an administrator of a complex multi« million dollar business. Too often they lack the expert advice that they need to guide them to their decisions The very foundation of municipal ad- ministration is municipal law. Yet few profess to understand it or have even bothered to read it or have it explained 4 ) ya EAE iets fo a Sa 0 4 THE BIG SMOKIES OTTAWA REPORT Needlepoint Draws Criticism By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA-The Ottawa story about the sewing footman has reverberated around the world It concerned the famous needle point carpet, eight feet square, which was sewn by our late Queen Mary, and subsequently presented to the people of Canada by the Imperial Order of Daugh ters of the Empire, Under the former Liberal government, this carpet was placed on permanent exhibition In our National Gal lery. Since Alan Jarvis was ap pointed director of the gallery, the carpet has repeatedly won his unflattering attention, We ordered the carpet to be removed from the display box where it was on view, and to be hidden behind curtains, Attendants are ordered to open the curtains If a visitor asks to see the carpet, and then draw them close again, Most Gallery visitors never see the carpet, Jarvis was reported as suggesting that, If any lady of the IODE wished to see the cars pet, she should be charged 28 cents, I0DE GIFT HUMBLED Jarvis appears to delight In uttering comments like this, which Infuriate his targets, These are others of his swine cast be- fore pearls: On wives who enjoy painting as a hobby: 'there are too many women who paint pif fling, fiddling bloody little things which are really needlepoint," On Saskatchewan's new Provinolal Museum: "the most bastard creation 1 ever laid eyes on' Parllament discussed his com. ment that Saint John, the port and pride of New Brunswick, is "one of the ugliest cities in the world," The portrait' of Queen Elizabeth, painted by Pletro Annigoni, he called 'an Inartis. tie effigy" and he refused to ac commodate it in our National Gallery; the Liberal government romptly snubbed him by select. Pe the portrait for reproduction on a commemorative postage stamp, which will be issued next month, Everyone will sympathize with his own domestic hardships, which no doubt prompted his charge that 'most Canadian food tastes like Kleenex" Rug RN AAR / ANE 4 Alllieg SUMMIT MEETINGS (ov JO - ' PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "It's nine times safer to drive ! 86 than 66 miles an hour," says a The JIODE which had collected some $100,000 to outbid U8, pur chasers and to acquire this ob. ject of queenly labor for Can ada, were mad, and they loudly sald so, But Jarvis refused to re- move the curtains, As the storm waxed last month, Jarvis stoked it up by asserting that the carpet anyhow was not the work of the Queen, as had been popularly belleved, She em- ployed 'footmen, and other pal: ace personnel" to help her sew the carpet, he charged, In fact, even one of his friends had loaned a versatile Jeeves fo pinch-sew for the Queen, The fairy story of the sewin, footman echoed round the world, much young DENIED BY THE TRUTH "Every stitch on that carpet was done by Queen Mary her self," came the angry denial from England's Dowager March. foness of Reading, who had been chairman of the organization which disposed of the carpet for the Queen. The Queen, sald Lady Reading, expressed her wish that every stitch on the carpet should be her own work, and hers alone, This denial of the footman canard was written as a letter to the editor of The Times news: paper in England, Jarvis handed out a copy of the letter here, to correct what he called "the un« fortunate misinformation" which he had disseminated about the carpet, The Queen, who was artistie- ally talented and ory well in. formed on certain art formas, was also a keen needlewoman and tapestry worker, She made this carpet and presented it to be sold to assist Britain's post-war drive to earn dollars by export trade, The carpet may not be univer sally admired as a work of art; its place, as primarily a roya souvenir, might be more appro. priate in the National Museum. But 80 or 100 years hence, it will certainly be worth more than many of the paintings now being bought for the gallery, which one irate Ottawa matron dismisses as "Jarvis' pet blobs of modern art", And since the government decided several years ago that the gallery was the place where the carpet should be exhibited, FOR BETTER HEALTH Multiple Births Show Good Survival Ratio HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD What are the chances of hav ing twins? And what are the chances of both babies surviving? Well, depending upon the age of the mother and many other eir cumstances, the chances far hoth children are good STATISTICS ON TWINS? Women in the 35 to $0age bracket have about 17 sets of twins per 1,000 births, Those under the age of 20 have about six sets of twins per 1,000 births Occasionally, twins will be born several weeks, even months, apart, Sometimes, one twin is considerably larger and heavier than the other, This apparently is due to the fact that conception 1s possible until the 14th week of pregnancy. Thus, two conceptions may result If vou already have children you are more lkely to have a multiple hirth than are women who are giving birth for the first time : CHANCES OF SURVIVAL Moreover, a recent study In Towa Indicates that twins or trip lets are more likely to survive If they are horn to a woman with previous children than if they are the first-born Infant martality fa highest among twins for ehildren born to next highest for those with me. thers between the ages of 20 and 24. It is considerably lower for those born to mothers over the age of 28 Multiple births, in general, have a higher mortality rate than do single births -- especially during the first weeks. For the nation as a whole, the death rate among twins during the first four weeks o flife is mare than five times that of babies born in single births GOOD RECORD Still, we have an excellent re. cord for saving all concerned as far as multiple births are cons cerned Nevertheless, if you are expect. ing a multiple birth, I want to es pecially emphasize the need for prenatal. care, It is. particularly important to prevent nutritional deficiences You must be under the care of a doctor if you want to give your habies the chance at life which they deserve QUESTION AND ANSWER A.C: What is Hodgkins' Dis ease and how does it affect the body?
