Page 4 "Saturday, June 6, 1959 "Urban Renewal Common Problem Of Big Cities Urban renewal, about which Oshawa has been hearing recently, is a common problem across Canada. An urban re- newal study in Vancouver a couple of years ago showed 9900 dwellings had signs of blight, In a 280-acre area in Winnipeg it was found 34 percent of the dwellings were in poor condition In Hamilton it wa< found that 5000 dwel- lings required - habilitation. The stud- ies in Halifax and Hamilton showed a distinct relationship between crime and slums The conditions and overcrowd- ing in Canada's major cities are going 40 get worse, the Canadian Federation of Mayorg and Municipalities was told this week by Stunley- Pickett, member of the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation's advisory group, Over the past eight years there has been only lit- tle imp ovement housing conditions A federal census has shown that about 17 per cent of all dwellings in large cit- ies should be knocked do vn or repair- ed and that 29 per cent of all housing units are overcrowded "There is evidence the federal census of 1961 will reveal a worsening situa- tion," Mr, Pickett said All these references were to dwell- ings. Much the same thing could be said of run-down commercial and industrial areas in the large cities, thus extending the total area of blight Oshawa is at the point GUEST EDITORIAL slum in now where i can decide whether it will permit blighted areas to develop, on the pattern of the major cities, or whether it will take the necessary steps in the next few vears to avoid the decay which hereto- fore has been the inevitable accompan= iment of growth in large urban areas There ig no slum area, in the accepted sense, in Oshawa. But there are spots where decay is evident, There are dwellings in atrocious condition. And there are other commercial-residential areas that are, to put it charitably, showing their age These danger spots, and without some urban renewal plan they could Just as the city itself expands, Delegates to the Federation's conven- tion agreed that increased municipal participation in urban renewal could only be undertaken through increased financial assistance the flederal government, and considering the weight of public works bearing on most muni- cipalities, they are probably justified. At the same time, there are certain steps that can be taken. Oshawa is pre- paring to take one of those steps by carrying out a reassessment program, a necespary preliminary to any direct action on urban renewal, And the direct action car only come, too, after a pro- per study of the urban area--the entire urban area, not simply one section, either residential or commercial or mixed. hag been made are sort of expand trom Security With Meaning By the Rev #t. John's Anglican Church, Port Whitby (yeorge Nicholson People of all kinds and in all places today have a deep seated wish for safe- ty and security, The God-given task of the Church in all its branches is to bring to us, and to bring us to, the only safety and security that have any worth and meaning final There are many theories of salvation which men have lived and died by. The popular one has been the balancing of good over against evil, trying to tip the scale by as many good deeds as there have been bad ones. The little less pop- ular one has been endeavoring to pla- eate God by making gifts of money, or shrines, or buildings: or going on pil- grimages, or burning incense, or offer mg sacrifices; and in recent generations offering ourselves and coun try." And last but not the respec table and refined method of salvation by character, This is, being born in a Christiar try and imbibing Chri tian principles in family, school, church lving and working in Christian environ- ment buttres by Christian influen- ews; taking into mind and spirit Chris- rman standards ideals which have been inherited and which we scarcely realize are So much so that, for- getting the Source of all these bless- ings we almost seem to say to God and "for king least cour sed and there man "This is the character have built Is not the end the Author of All things come, and this supposed self made the test of time ment?

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON Decision of the British government to remove most of the remaining restric. tions on the importation of goods from the dollar area, and not. ablv from Canada and the United States, Is regarded here as one more step towards making the dollar freely convertible with sterling. The only goods on which restrictions remain are those which are on an import quota, such as automobiles, watches and clocks, regardless of their coun. try of origin In Canadian circles in London, it is hoped that the next step to- wards convertibility will be re- moval or relaxation of the cur- rency restrictions imposed by the British government on Britons visiting Canada, In an editorial in the current issue of its journal, the Canadian Chamber of Com- merce in Britain makes a strong plea for the removal of these restrictions. The editorial points out that while tourism is Can. ada's third largest indusiry, last year only some 19,000 non-immi- grant Britons visited Canada Owing to exchante restriction they were allowed to bring with them only £100 (270 dol'ars), And, it adds, "that sum of money does not go very far in Canada." THE OTHER SIDE Br contrast, more than 69,000 Canadians visited Britain, "with the privilege of being able to spend as much as they wished or could afford." In conversation with many Britons who would like to make a holiday tour of Canada, 1 have found that these exchange re. strictions form the chief obstacle in the way of making such a trip. Their removal would be wel comed both by Britons and by Canad It is fidently ex pected that something In (his direction will be the next move to free sterling from controls, RUSSIAN TRADE While the trade agreement which Sir David Eccles brought back with him from Moscow fs nol 'exactly setting the heather on fire in Britain, 'it ls regarded as satisfactory. This is because it is the first substantial break. through in trade relations be. tween this country and the Soviet Union, This is considered as more important than the fact that the actual figures involved In the anticipated trade increase fall far short of those which were freely quoted before Sir David went to Russia, While the door has been opened for a free exchange of consumer goods between the two countries, the figure of two million pounds in the first year is but a small fraction of what has been expect. ed. - Manufacturers of commer cial motor vehicles, however, are confident that they will be able to achieve substantial soles flo countries behind the Iron Cur- tain, as a result of the agree. ment, And the textile Industries of Lancashire are hoping that exports to Russia will help to re- vive thelr flagging fortunes, So there are some areas in Britizh industnv in which the agreement has been welcomed, with the reservation that time alone will determine whether it has been really worth while, GAITSKELL DOWNCAST Hugh Gaitskell, leader of the Socialist party, has a good reason _GALLUP POLL OF CANADA Most Canadians Not Daredevils CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Are Canadians getting more adventurous as the Space Age dawns? Has the day<ireaming apout trips to the moon and flights into space made them any more interested in taking part in a big adventure such as the Klon dike rush? More than a decade of exciting years have done nothing to change the mood of the average man and woman Too many risks, the comforts of home, the responsibility of a family, today as in 1946 are main reasons why the vast majority of people would have no desire to go off after adventure on a gold rush (even on a day-dreaming basis). Bul even the possibility of making money out of oil at home, rather than rushing off after gold in the north has not lessened the fervor of the one in ten who is convinced he really would go if the chance: offered. It was one in ten who would take off; in the last report by the Gallup Poll To check on this Spirit of Ad venture interviewers for the Gallup Poll put a question to the adult population which had been asked thirteen years ago, with the war only recently over "IF THERE WERE SUDDEN LY A BIG GOLD RUSH SUCH AS THAT OF THF KLONDIKE WITH ALL ITS EXCI'EMENT By RISKS AND HARDSHIPS WOULD YOU FEEL LIKE PACKING UP AND GOING?" To this broad question today as in 1946 the vote was four to two against the idea, even as a bit of arm-chair romancing 1 would feel like going No would not or undecided Yes 18% 80 82 100% 100% Pressing still further, inter. viewers aked the one in five who sald they would go, whether they thought thev really would. At this point only half sutek to their be- Hefs, convinced that if the op- portunity came they would join in the rush for gold. Final count then, today, as in the forties, shows that only about one in ten adults might actually want to go adventuring But while 10 per cent may stem a small proportion of ad ult Canadians, if that percentage were actually packed off to dis tant parts it would mean a mi. gration of about $000 people Scaling attitudes across the provinces shows that Maritimers are the most interested in such an adventure with the West and Ontario lining up close behind them and men and women in Quebec province least interested in the proposal World Copyright Reserved FOR BETTER HEALTH Some Facts and Figures About Having a Baby HERMAN N, BUNDESEN, M. D. Is there a best age at which to have a baby? The ans or to this question is simple: of course there is. At leas' there is an age bracket in which both the mother and baby have the best chance of coming through the procedure in tip-top condition CAN GO WRONG With al! our modern techniques and knowledge, there is little chance of anything going wrong at any age, but it can happen generally agree that t ix best for you mothers to we vour childven when you are between the ages of 20 and 0 Young mothers, if they aren't too young, appear to have the best chances of giving birth to healthy babies. UP TO NATURE Now | want to emphasize that 1 don't mean that no one over the age 30 should have a baby The birth of a baby is pretty much up to Old Mother Nature. She usually knows what she is doing However, it is a fact that a woman who has her first baby vhen she is over the of 35 rung a greater rick than does a younger woman MULTIPLE BIRTHS Age also appears to be a factor in multiple births or example vomen in the 35 to 39 age bracket have about 17 sels of twins per 1000 births while mothers under the age of 20 have only six sets of twins per 1000 births \ctually, the of the mother nportant the infant age If she takes care of herself throughout pregnancy and has good medical care, the odds are greatly in the baby being a real bouncer PREMATURE RIRTHS About six out of every 100 American births are premature Do 'tors ane general health is usually more to the well-being of than is the woman's favor « ¥ mothers who have good medical care, this figure is re. duced drastically to about two or three 'premies" per 100 babies born Moreover, healthy generally produce spring, If vou have any question about whether you shouid have children al your age, 1 suggest that you consult your family doctor. Each ca e must be decided on an in- dividual basis. QUESTION AND Mrs. E. M: My month-old baby has eating habits until she refuses to eat regular food ex~epi orange juice Her doctor says che can go indefinitely on this food without harm. May | have your opinion? Answer: Milk and orange juice are very good, substantial foods and contain most vitamins and nutrients, However, this is not sufficient for a wel'-balanced diet and I would suggest that continu. ed effort be made to diversify the baby's diet, PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM In one respect at least, mice are smarter than men. in that they don't volunteer to be rocketed into outer space parents healthy off ANS had lately any of milk Now he: and "The world is fast drifting into a belief in fafalism," says a sociologist.

The big argument for a change of government which he and his followers have put forward has been based on the high unemployment figures, Ac- tually, they are not high, being only 2.2 per cent of the working force, as compared with 5.3 per cent In the United States and 7.3 per cent in Canada. And they are falling rapidly, The figures for May show a reduction of 50,000 in the number of unemployed from the previous month, and a drop of 140,000 from the penk figure which was recorded In January of this year. And Minis. ter of Labor Ian Macleod predicts that for the next few months un- employment will continue to de- crease by more than the sea. sonal average. The Socialists have been look- ing at unemployment as the big stick with which to belabor the government, They know only too well that good times and high levels of employment are all against them, It would seem that they are being deprived of their most potent election issue CANADIAN STOCK FLURRY Calgary and Edmonton Lands shares have created more than an unusual flurry on the London Stock Exchange, Put on the mar- ket for the first time at 106 a share, there were opening bids of 19 shillings when trading in them opened, They quickly raced up to 23-6, The issue of 250,000 shares involved was over-subscribed 48 times when it was offered for sale.
