The Dsharon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 4 Friddy, October 9, 1959 Effort By Community Test Of Citizenship Work has been going on for weeks in preparation for the Greater Osha- wa Community Chest campeign that will open later this month. Workers in all walks of life in the city have given generously of their time and energy to ensure that the campaign will be a suc- cess, Committees have been struggling with the innumerable but important details of organization and planning, chairmen and team captains have been laying out their programs, and some of the canvassers are already at work. All this work is done without pay, as the word pay is generally understood. But the Community Chest workers will tell you that their remuneration is rich indeed; it is the realization that through their efforts life has been made a lit- tle less harsh, a little happier for needy or ailing people in Greater Oshawa, and that 16 worthy organizations have been given the means to continue their work in the community. These are the people who take it up- on themselves to do the job for all of us, to make it easy for us to do our part in supporting with our dollars the work of the agencies that derive their funds from the Community Chest. The canvassers who will be calling on us will be our friends, good neigh- bors who simply and sincerely hope Reminder To It wad wise of the Ontario Public School Trustees Association to vote down a suggestion that young vandals be confined in "a hostel or some such intermediate institution" for definite periods of from one to six months. But not wise was their rejection of the idea that civil penalties be imposed on par- ents whose children are guilty of van- dalism. There is no doubt that there has been in our time a steady weakening in the sense of family responsibility. Much of that weakening is the result of the growth of state welfarism -- the shed- ding of responsibility by the individual in favor of action by the state. Family responsibility cannot help but suffer when enough people think that some vague, comfortable Big Daddy will look after everything from the cradle to the grave--and beyond. To set up an institution for the dis- eiplining of young = vandals would be another step away from family respon- sibility, another st¢p towards complete state control. § Government, A U.S. court seems to have played hob with U.S. foreign policy. : A federal district court ruled this week that two former Nationalist Chine ese soldiers cannot be deported to For- mosa. The judge upheld a defence con- tention that the two men, described as Chinese Nationalist deserters, could not be sent to Formosa because Formosa is not a country. If the judge was on firm legal ground, one does not need a particularly vivid {magination to visualize some of the consequences of his decision. If Formosa is not a country, the only claim the Chinese Nationalists have .%o a seat in the United Nations is that they form a properly constituted government on Chinese soil. A properly constituted government is one which has effective control of the administration of a coun- try. It can be argued whether or not For- mosa is Chinese soil, but it cannot be argued that the Chinese Nationalist government has any authority extend- ing beyond Formosa--and Formosa may not be a country. Certainly it is not China. This would make the National- ist regime nothing more than a govern= ment-in-exile, and as such would have no moral or legal right to represent a country-in-being at the United Nations. The judge's decision would also mean that the United States, in recognizing the Nationalist leaders and refusing to The Oshawa dimes 7. L. WILSON, Publisher and Generel Manoger €.

Average Daily Net Paid Publisher's Statement os of March 31, 1959 16,260 that we share the warm, active interest they themselves take in the welfare of our community, For this is truly a com~ munity effort, and the more we can afford to contribute to it, the more we ure assured that the community is a good one. The Community Chest symbolizes the conscience of the community. A good citizen is one who recognizes that he is not a world to himself but part of the human family, and that as a mem- ber of the community-family he has certain duties and responsibilities that cannot be dodged. One of the responsi- bilities is the welfare of the other mem- bers, who are, under Heaven, his bro- thers and sisters. The Community Chest enable us to do a little to discharge that responsibility. Here in Greater Oshawa there are people who need to be looked after be- cause they are ill or needy; there are healthy activities for children to be as- sisted and promoted; there are organi- zations such as the Red Cross and St. John Ambulance that are ever ready to soften the blow of disaster or give speedy aid in case of accident; there are scores of worthy causes that are looked after by the 16 organizations in the Community Chest. jd Let us not be niggardly when it comes to sharing our blessings. Famili Healthy children are naturally mise chievous. They are inclined to get into trouble unthinkingly, often out of sheer exuberance and animal energy. Parents have the first responsibility to strive to keep the mischief within bounds, to keep it from deteriorating into vicious- ness. If this responsibility is to be handed over to the state, then we must face the prospect of giving the state virtually complete control of children, Their homes will become nothing more than places for eating and sleeping. And we would be taking a long, long step to- wards the authoritarian state most of us profess to detest. The proposal that parents be made legally responsible for their children's vandalism, on the other hand, would be a means towards the restoration of family responsibility. If nothing else, it would force neglectful parents to give some thought to their responsibilities and more careful parents to a greater awareness of their duties. No Country recognize the Communists, is not only supporting a govérnment without a country--a government, incidentally, that was not elected--but rejecting a government in control of a country. On the other hand, the legal decision could strengthen both the Nationalist and Communist claims to Formosa. If Formosa is not a country, it must be part of a country, which would logic ally be China. If not China, what oth- er? This is what Nationalists and Com- munists (and the U.S.) have been say- ing all along. Nobody has bothered to ask the opinion of native Formosans. The judge's decision, of course, will not make a particle of difference to the U.S. or the UN. But it helps to illus- trate the absurdity of the Nationalist claim--and foreign recognition of that claim--to represent China in interna- tional or domestic affairs. Other Editor's Views ANTIUNCONSCIONABLE (Ottawa Journal) The Ontario conscience being what it is, we should not have been as surprised as we were to find that a man had brought action for redress under the Un- conscionable Transactions Relief Act, which we had forgotten. "Unconscionable" is a resounding, hell-and-brimstone word; it means, in the Oxford definition we prefer, "mak- ing excessive or shameless demands" The iron fist of the Act is in Clause 2 which permits a court to find in respect to a loan, having regard to the risk and all the circumstances, that the cost is excessive and the transaction is harsh and unconscionable, Such a decision being made, the court may become very stern. It may reopen the transaction and "take an account" (another menacing phrase) between the creditor and the debtor.

Canada's is not yet a mature economy -- thank heaven, for therein lies the immense "oppor- tunity" which attracts immi- grants and fires our own high en- deavour. Canada is still develop- ing, and will continue to develop as long as there is room for more people, and resources to supply them with employment. More people mean a demand for more food, more homes, more sec- ondary industries. And those in turn mean more opportunity and more profit for old and mew Canadians. But this happy cycle of expan- sion depends upon one essential lubricant; finance. This is not a country with large reserves of accumulated capital seeking in- vestment. Alas, it is not yet a couritry of venturesome investors even. Most of us cautiously de- posit our small savings in a bank, to earn a meagre interest which is virtually wiped out by the av- erage annual depreciation of our dollar. Few of us venture our savings in our expanding econ- omy, where wisdom and luck might double them quickly. We leave that profit to the financial commandos from the U.S.; and when we do buy stock, we are too often gullible prey for the plausible crook. BANK LOANS URGENT Thus the situation has devel- oped here, that any ambitious Canadian--of course starting with a shoestring on his courageous venture to create his own in- QUEEN'S PARK New Lakehead Road Noted 'Circle Route' By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--We are going dizzy over "circle routes." For tourist reasons Sudbury plugs a 'circle route." It runs from the Sault to Mackinac Straits bridge, with the nickel city and its merchants in the middle. Now the Lake Superior Inter- national Highway Association has decided the new Sault-Lakehead highway should also be known as the "circle route." A little conflict which will un- doubtedly be straightened out. In the meantime the Lake Su- perior people are getting off to an early and good start on bally- hoo for the new highway--due to open in 1961. Optimists hope it will be one of the' famous scenic drives on the continent. SNARLED DEFENCE Civil defence people have dropped that whacky plan of evac- nating cities by road. It was a dream that never would have worked. Now the program is to persuade home-owners to build shelters. A fraction of one per cent--small fraction--may do it. (Unless those cemetery-lot ped- dlers of a few years ago get in the act. Then every yard could have its dug-out--on the easy payment plan and with "'perma- nent maintenance.) In one man's opinion the whole C.D. set-up is still as snarled as a snake with the itch. FOR INSTANCE Officials continually complain about lack .of publicity. Yet a reporter for three days tried to reach E. F. Bevis, co- Why? Presumably was afraid he' might thing wrong. RAIDING TROUBLE Would-be Solomons ean toss around this problem. The UAW has complained about small towns 'raiding' industry in other centres. National director George Burt says labor itself found out some time ago that "raiders result in the raiders being raided and no- body gaining." His complaint to the govern- PROUD FIREMAN POORER BARNSLEY, Eng. (Reuters)--- Fireman Albert Smith started grass fires to increase his sta- tion's record. Caught lighting his 11th fire, he said, "It's a matter, of pride among stations about the number of calls they have." He was fined £30. some- ment was prompted by the shift of the Universal Cooler plant from Brantford to Barrie, Mr. Burt singled out four towns in particular as raiders. One was Barrie, others were Midland and Owen Sound, and the fourth--and this was meant to hurt--was Lindsay, home base and favored land of L.M. Frost. However . . .! Raiding as such isn't good. It can harm whole communities and cause severe personal disruptions, But at the same time more de- centralization of industry is highly desirable It might be a good idea to at least set up some ground rules-- controlling the inducements and perquisites one community can offer as against each other. Let the ball really' get rolling fn this field and some enthusiastic councils will be giving the local shirts away.

But if he is pinched for a loan with which to further his pro gress, he cannot develop his busi ness to its maximum potential. Meanwhile his big corporate com- petitor, probably a subsidiary of a U.S. business, is not dependent upon a Canadian bank, for it can draw all the additional finance Justified from its parent in the Us The tragedy of the present tight money situation across Canada is that we are sacrificing 10 birds in the nearby bush for one pos sible bird in the hand. LOOSENS TIGHT MONEY The Bank of Canada refuses to expand our supply of money to assist Canadian development, in the no doubt valid belief that more money would encourage in- flation. But while the Bank of Canada thus locks the front door, our money supply is nevertheless being increased through the back door. U.S. subsidiaries are im- porting the money which they need, and which they cannot get from Canadian banks, from U.S. sources. They are thus able to implement their development plans and capture the market, while the little Canadian is held in the strait - jacket of tight money. Next year, and every following year, Canada will lose wealth, by having to send out of the country, to U.S. shareholders in those sub- sidiaries, profits which might have been earned by all the little Canadians. The second major eriticism heard here about present Bank of Canada policy is that no leader- ship has been given to the char: tered banks. The central bank does not seem to have encouraged the ize of available credit in the best possible manner to assist the Canadian economy. For example a lot of credit is being used to finance the purchase of semi- durable consumer goods which the buyers cannot afford; this is both inflationary, and an firres- ponsible use of tight money. The bank excuses itself on the grounds that, however desirable or feas- ible, such leadership is outside its powers. Many observers here consider that the minister of finance should long ago have invited the an of Canada and the char. tered banks to a cosy little chat in his office. aipile FOR BETTER HEALTH Twelve-Question Test On Safeguarding Home HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD How safe is your home? Most of you parents are very caerful to warn your children against playing in the streets. You caution them to cross only with the lights and you still worrv about them when they are away from the house. IN YOUR OWN HOME Well, many of you should be more concerned about the safety of your family ard yourself right in your own home. ' Check the following questions and see just how much you are doing to safeguard your family in the place they should be safest -- the home. DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES 1.

Do you always wash your hands thoroughly after using in- sect poisons, weed killers, golv- ents or cleaning fluids ? 7. Do you always read the la. bels and follow *'caution" warn. ings on chemical compounds? 8. When you throw away drugs or-hazardous materials do you al- ways place them where tots and pets can't get at them? 9. Do you ever take medicine in the dark? UNLABELED BOTTLES 10.
