Poge 4 Tuesday, October 6, 1959 Expert's Description Of "Industrial Utopia" = d 3 BE What is the make-up of his "Indus- trial Utopia?" One factor is a produetion cost level that is below the national average. An- other ic a "fair and reasonable" distri- bution of taxes. The production costs are down "pot because of low wage rates but because of high efficiency and productivity inherent in the character of the labor force." There is an adequate labor supply gvailable and good relations between local labor and the industries already located in the area. The ideal community has a low per eapita debt, There are no giveaways or tax ex- emptions for new industries but gove ernment officials are noted for extend- ing fine co-operation in extending uti- lities and providing other facilities for few plants. Industrial Utopia in a small city, one less than 100,000 population but whose population is steadily increasing. It is a "satellite" community offering easy access to a major city near by. (About two-thirds of "the significant new plants" in the U.S. are being loca- ted in such cities, Conway states). Industrial Utopia is located on 2 ma-~ jor rail line, has a feeder air line ser- vice connecting conveniently with lar- ger systems, has a hard surface air strip with lights and radio facilities, and also a navigable waterway for in- expensive transportation of bulk mater~ ials. It has a well balanced economy and is geared to handle industry of the space age. There's a vocational training pro- gram for developing new skills and a top flight engineering college near by. The community has an honest gov- ernment, an effective law enforcement program with a crime rate well below the national average and an efficient fire department. The community also has a strong chamber of commerce well financed and well staffed. An outstanding feature of the idea community is its wealth of recreation- al activities. In addition several major sports events are held each year. The community also has good visitor accommodations -- a new motel or a new wing on the hotel downtown. The sale of aleoholic beverages is legal but carefully controlled. The community shows interests in cultural pursuits and theer are ehurch- es for the major faiths. There is an al- ert newspaper and radio station and good television reception. However the industrial development authority admits he has been unable to find such a community as the Indus- trial Utopia. He makes one point important here: "Most of the factors which affect community's desirability for industrial development are controllable -- the cit- fzens of an area can do a great deal to make their area more attractive if they set their minds to it." Too Early For Province 'A young newspaper editor in Daw- son Creek, British Columbia, has crea- ted a minor stir in proposing that a new province be carved in the Canadian West, embracing part of British Col- umbia, Alberta and the North West Territories. His complaint is that the provincial capital at Victoria is 800 miles away, and "They're drawing mil- lions of dollars out of us in taxes and resources and they're returning noth- ing." Whether this is true, we are not pre- pared to argue. We doubt, however, that the erection of a new province would solve their problems. Indeed, it would create many new ones, not only for the fledgling province, but also for the rest of Canada. One thing that such proposals rarely consider is that government costs me- ney. The citizen in the new province would have to find the finances to es- tablish a legislature and create a civil service. That would come long before the people could expect their taxes to be turned to the public works and ser- vices they expect of a government. The new province would have to establish its police force, and in general dupli- cate the facilities it now has. Such things do not come easily, and instead of the taxpayers' groans being directed toward Victoria or Edmonton, the sound would veer foward whatever might be the new capital. The area has not been completely neglected. British Columbia in the past few years hes extended its railway, the Pacific Great Eastern, into Dawson Creek and Fort 8t. John. That has es- tabilshed a necessary link between the older part of the province and the de- veloping area. British Columbia has al- so offered to assume maintenance of the Canadian section of the Alaskan highway. It cannot be said that inter- est in the area is lacking. The proposal is important to the rest of Canada, for it would mean one more province with which the federal gov- ernment would have to deal. And that would mean more payments from the rest of Cenada to support this pro- vince, Perhaps in another 25 or 30 years when the area has a population of two or more millions, the idea may have some justification, but it is diffi- cult for people elsewhere in Canada to wax enthusiastic at this time. Can Drunks Be Harmless? Jailing harmless drunks accomplishes nothing, in the opinion of Attorney General Kelso Roberts of Ontario. Puni~ tive jail sentences are only an added expense to the taxpayer in keeping them in custodial institutions he told the Juvenile and Family Court Judges Association at their Toronto convention. It seems the Attorney General should have further qualified the phrase harm~ less drunks or used a different adjee~ he Osha Times 7. L. WILSON, Publisher and Genersl Menege €.

Aver Daily Net Paid Pul v's Statement _ as of March 31, 1959 16,260 tive, because we would like to know the definition of a harmless drunk, the Sudbury Star observes. Is there such a creature? Is any person, whose mind is fogged with alcohol considered harm- less? Some people believe that any drunk is a source of potential danger, either to others in his community or to self, They say without sober companions to guide his faltering steps, or a friendly hand to help him home fo bed and the arms of Morpheus, a man drunk on streets, quite incapable of helping him- self, is a walking 'body of danger and a pitiful sight into the bargain. Perhaps jail is not the proper place for him. Policemen are not nurses for the drunk or the juvenile delinquent, Their job is to enforce the law and pro- tect law-abiding sober citizens. What is perhaps needed is an institution which throws its doors open to the casual drunk and permits him to sleep it off, and go on his way sober, But should the taxpayers' money be used to set up the institution? The drunk is a community problem . . . or is he? Imagine the furore that would greet further demands on the taxpayer for more cash to help an alcohol-sodden man sober up. Mr. Roberts is concerned about tack- ling the problem of what he describes as the "harmless drunk" and properly 80, He'll need the wisdom of Solomon in his attempts to discover just what to do with this type, short of throwing them in jail for a night. They are be- coming much too common in this pro- vinee. i OTTAWA REPORT Action Welcomed Rgainst Pollution By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA --Hon. David Walker, our pew minister of public works, has shown welcome decisiveness and common sense in moving swiftlv to halt what threatened to be one of the most scandalous infringements of the rights of the majority in all the long and sor- id history of the plundering of ouN natural resources by specu- lative dollar-chasers. Canada can boast that one-half of all the fresh water on the world's surface is within our bor- ders. Unfortunately our feckless governments have permitted this priceless netural resource to he converted in many e¢ases into a jush breeding ground for polio, dysentery and other harbingers of death and disease. Examples can be seen wherever water is to be found. PRINCE ALBERT'S CROSS The North Saskatchewan River, that water supply and playground and irrigant for thousands of Canadians, was fouled up be- cause just a few people dedi- cated not to preserving human rights but to the turning of a quick buck, found that it would make a quicker buck by tippiag polluted waste into their neigh- bors' drinking water, instead of spending the money necessary to have it disposed of harmlessly, This capital is situated on the broad Ottawa River. For 100 miles downstream, where once anglers could angle and boaters could boat with pleasure, no hu- man nor piscine swimmer can pow survive, as this playground has been converted by sewage and atomic waste and industrial effluent into a breeding ground of lethal germs flowing with pois- on. Cornwall, like so many resorts on the banks of the St. Lawrence Seaway, once enjoyed delightful bathing beaches. In recent hot weeks, the children of Cornwall have not been able to swim be- cause their once-pure water has been fouled by the effluent om huge freighters and huger com- munities, Cheese » paring governments, vote-conscious politicians, politi- cal parties afraid of losing cam- paign contributions from big busi- ness, have all run scared before this problem of pollution. So today this fine country, once the proud possessor of half the pure fresh water in the world, can boast that it contains nearly all the polluted fresh water in the world. RICH NATURAL RESOURCE Many communities ia south- western Ontario, where an acute water shortage is developing, look towards Lake Huron for future supplies; that being the furthest downstream good water in the Great Lakes system. Recently a company named Mineral Explor. ation (Minex) Corp, Lid, was granted a permit to drill for eil and gas in the pure waters of that lake, just ong mile from the intake of the Sarnia waterworks. As if oil and gas are not already coming out of our ears! Similar operations in nearby Lake Erie have fouled the water, ruined the beaches, and deprived hundreds of thousands of wva- cationers, cottagers, swimmers, boaters and commercial fisher. men of the pleasure and amenity of a natural resource which is public property, The threat to the pure waters of Lake Huron has roused in bit- ter protest no less than 15,000,000 Canadians and Americans living near the lake. Since the Ontario government refused to take off its velvet gloves when face-to-face with a possible dollar profit, a citizens committee, "The Canadian-U.S. Committee on Water Pollution," was formed and quickly agitated and acted. Back of this uprising, spurred by righteous ire, is a great battler, Sarnia's veteran aid courageous MP, J. W. Mur- phy. "Murph" came to see Works Minister Walker here. In short order work was stopped and a drilling platform dismantled. Ale ready an international erusade, the outcome is easy to foresee, Now let's get after that sewage pollution too. QUEENS PARK Labor-Management Conference Planned By DON O'HEARN TORONTO---Labor matters will be prominent here for the next few years, First because the report of the select committee still has to be ted on. Secondly because we seem to be at a point of chance in labor relations. Both sides of the labor- management table are restive. And thirdly because the Lib- erals have a positive plan which could develop into something, This Liberal idea is to call a labor-management conference to discuss political problems, It is a type of thing that could be a complete dud. But if properly organized it also could preduce a lot of fodder for debate, It might even give the grits some positive ideas on labor ; .. h something they have lacked for years. OTTAWA HIGH-HAT Tight money also will be in the air for a while, The government here is quite concerned about it. A cabinet minister will be talk- ing about his troubles, and he will place the blame on "Ottawa's tight money policy." Then he will do a quick take and correct himself --with a grin ~--"this tight money situation inte which we have landed." The policy makes borrowing for the province harder and more expensive, ditto for the munici- palities, and also causes worry about possible unemployment this winter, It is one further development in the gradually worsening rela- tions with Ottawa. These are getting to the touchy stage, One reason, we would gather, because the federal peo- ple now they are firmly in office have gone high-hat with their brethren here--the people who put them in office. However, friction is inevitable, With the conflict in interests be- tween the two spheres of govern ment, particularly since the tax. agreements were started, it would be almost impossible for any any provincial and federal governments to get along in easy armony, WHAT NEXT? This is an era of fads. And one of them could be a fad to license people, It seems we want everybody U- censed for doing everything. We already license: everybody from undertakers to engineers, Metro Toronto now wants to li- cense builders, though it is a bit stuck on how it is going to define a "builder," But that is nothing, Do you know what the latest is? There is a group that wants to iceiie the owners of all female ca no existence PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Of the three -- existence under domination of Russia, co- existence in peace with her, and we can only choose and work for the second.
