Fhe Osharon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 4 Thursday, October 29 Pooling Of Resources In Battle For Health There will be hot argument for some time about the controversial report on charitable appeals made by the central council of 26 service clubs in the Ottawa-Hull area. Whether all disaster funds should be administered by the Red Cross probably leaves more room for debate than does the suggestion that the various health organizations sub- merge their individual interests in one great appeal. There is no doubt that the cause of health would be better served if all the money now collected by the diverse groups were placed in one fund, and allocated to various uses and projects on the advice of medical men--say, a committee appointed by the Canadian Medical Association. A. H. Newman, president of the centrel council of the service clubs. charged that some of the health organizations have raised more money than they need, more than they know how to spend. We do not know if that is a statement of fact; indeed, we would be surprised if it were so. But it does not take any specialized knowledge to recognize the fact that, with scores of health groups making public appeals for funds, the success of the appeals dépends more on fund-raising skill than on the urgency of the need. Some groups are able to generate a lot of emotional appeal, while others will not or can not do so. Yet the need behind the emotional appeal may be considerably less than the one inspiring a less flamboyant campaign. The appeals are made largely by lay- men, but few of these are in a position to make an assessment of health needs. The medical men know better than any- one else what the needs are, and the money raised should be spent only on their advice. Is arthritis more of a prob- fem than polio? Should more money be spent on research into heart diseases, less on something else? There are dozens of such questions that can be asked. The average layman cannot supply the answers. Let us continue to give to the crusade for health, but let's leave the crusade tragedy to the professionals, the medical men. Predictable Accidents New traffic arteries are planned by engineers to ease congestion, speed flow, promote safety and add to driving con- venience in a municipality. And these are the results that come from the planning. At thelsame time, discourtesy by drivers can materially reduce the benefits. An example is provided by Adelaide street (formerly Louisa in Oshawa. The widening and extension of Adelaide provided the city with an excellent east-west artery, one that was needed to handle a fairly heavy volume of traffic. Motorists took quickly to the new route, which is broad and well-marked. But largely because of driver discourtesy, at least one of its intersections could be- come as notorious as, say, the Gibb- Centre intersection. That is where Adelaide enters Mary street, an intersection that can be an horror at the noon hour. Trouble looms there when drivers, apparently over- anxious to get home for lunch, disregard the traffic signs and other vehicles; fre- quently there are vehicles parked within a few feet of the intersection, particu- larly on Mary -- a street that is not designed for irregular parking; and at the noon hour, many hundreds of youngsters are making their way from schools to home. If the drivers of moving and parked vehicles used ordinary courtesy at the intersection, most of the trouble would quickly disappear. But under present conditions, accidents seem inevitable. Goody, It's Monotonous After studying pictures relayed to earth by Lunik III, Soviet scientists tell us that the hidden side of the moon is "considerably more monotonous than the side turned towards the earth." That is this week's most reassuring bit of news. It would have been aggravating beyond endurance if it turned out that the moon's back side was much more interesting than the front. All over the world people would have been developing neuroses because they were forced to look at the moon's worse side. Scientists all over the world hailed the Soviet photographs as a remarkable scientific achievement. Many, of course, said the pictures only confirmed their theories about the moon's hidden lands- cape, but the relay of pictures of it back to earth was a pretty, good job of work. Now we're supposed to be all agog about the possibilities of planetary photography. But we'd be much more impressed by a few pictures closer to home--a picture, for example, of the doctors who conquered cancer and the common cold; or of Arkansas' Gov. Faubus leading a Negro student by the hand into a Little Rock high school; or of the demolition of the last slum dwell- ing in Canada. Many such pictures could be taken, if we spent as much thought and money on the study of man as on the study of his environment Lake Erie's Resources The Ontario government is being asked to stock Lake Erie with white- fish and yellow pickerel fingerlings in an effort to maintain the commercial fishing industry that depends on the lake. There has been a drastic drop in the commercial tatch, and the industry, with a heavy investment, faces ruin unless there is an improvement. The restocking program could only be a temporary expedient. What is need- ed is a thorough study of the causes of the drop in the commercial catch. The he Oshavon Times TL. WILSON.

Some gas and oil interests suggest that the fisher- men may have been over-harvesting their crop. It may be that biological changes have been taking place in the lake, making it a less prolific breeding ground for certain kids of fish. Whatever the reasons, they must be explored. From that exploration can come a reasonable solution. It may be a long term solution; it may reveal that Ontario must choose between the various resources found in the lake water and in the earth beneath the lake; or it may show that it is possible to continue to harvest all the resources. Certainly On- tario is not in a position to waste any resource. Meanwhile, it may be' necessary to stock the lake, assthe fishermen request. But stocking is not a solution to the problem of supply in commercial fish- ing; it is merely an expedient. We doubt if the provincial lands and forests de- partment is equipped for such a iarge- scale operation, in addition to its efforts on behalf of sports fishermen.

MELTING THE ICEBERG GALLUP POLL OF CANADA 'Defence Budget Target For Any Needed Cutback By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Believe it or not, one in five Canadians think that if Govern- ment income cannot cover the budget -- taxes should be rais- ed. But for every one of these stalwarts, there are more than three who insist that if Ottawa faces a deficit--expenses should be cut back to balance the bud- get. This stern view-point from almost 70 per cent of the voters is in line with the fact that the Canadian public, by a large ma- jority, insists that the Govern. ment should not over-spend on its income. To find out how the average man and woman feels about de- ficiency budgets, the Gallup Pol] has been asking a series of ques- tions on Government financing. For today's report, interviewers went to homes in a national cross-section to ask: "IF THE TIME SHOULD COME WHEN GOVERNMENT INCOME CANNOT PAY FOR ALL THE THINGS IN THE BUDGET, WHICH WOULD YOU FAVOR--CUTTING BACK ON CERTAIN THINGS, OR IN- CREASING TAXES?" Cut back 67% Increase taxes 20 Other 4 No Opinion 9 100% The main body of voters, who, as might be cxpected, want the Government to cut back on ex- penditures if faced with red ink baldnces, were asked what eco- nomies they would dike to see. From the welter of suggestions Canadians have, one idea looms cover all the others -- the idea that such cuts, if necessary, should come first from the de- fence department.

The latter is pot smartly dressed, well groomed and in all probability the poorest informed person éver to have claimed association with the 2 building trade. Most teams operate out of To- ronto and having driven. to a rural district, begin their search for a house with wooden, stucco or similar sjding preferably in fair or poor condition. The first intimation that you have been chosen 'sucker of the week' is by a friendly call from the Canvasser. He 'just happened to be pass- ine' and noticed that the siding needed replacing. He insists on brinaing his hoss around. The next call may be the same evening and the Qualifier, calling himself! the Area Manager or some similar title, arrives to meet the hushand and wife to- gether. He has the most tremen- dous news! Mr. Big (alias The Closer) is arriving from Mont: real, New York or some other far-sounding place and is to prac- ticallv give away siding for ad- vertising purposes. The Area "'Mapager" has to locate a house pm in the <istrict where the people are ready to buy if fhe product and the price are right. Mr. Big is very important and can spare orlv one visit. ' Now arrives the crucial mo- ment. If the victim answers "no" he becomes an unqualified lead and is "scrapped, However, the thought of getting a big deal often encourages the prospect to agree and he becomes the next "set up" on Mr. Big's sucker list. A date and time is arranged and Mr. Big arrives. He ingratiates himself with the whole family and then #uns neatly into his act. The fuel you have been wasting would have bought you a new car every few years; your home will be 25 per cent cooler next summer and you'll save hundreds on your painting and repair bills with Merry- weather siding. He'll show you reams of charts and diagrams or perhaps some fine retouched photographs, all specifically pro- duced to make him look right and to get your signature on the dotted line. When the pitch has been given, Mr. B. may turn to the "Area Manager" and ask for the esti- nated ne of sis p arte for an answer but ami the family gasps Mr. Big assures one and all that he, personally, is going to foot a great part of the bill for advertising purposes. He assures the home-owner that all he has to do is pay a mere $37 a month which means he's getting the $2000 deal for only $1000.

At least this is what Civil Serv- fce Commission officials here claim. In the current drive for a gen- eral salary increase some scar- ifving figures are circulating. However the commission says the average wage for provincial government employees is about $68 a week. Further, it says, in most cases the Ontario scale meets that of Ottawa. If correct, this last is a bit of a surprise, It has always been the writer's understand'ng that our salaries were considerably under the fed- eral scale. STACKS UP The Ontario average is brought down considerably by low pay in Ontario Hogpilals. and imagination than most and he probably will make more mis- takes than most at the start. Practically all new ministers make some (Yes, with a few it becomes a habit.) And he is well on the road al- ready. One of his first moves has been to surround himself with "efficiency". He has a secretariat of bright young men. Again, any old pro could have steered him off this. Any veteran could have told him that a pol- itician's secretaries are more im- portant than his wife. They can win or lose friends. Mr. Macaulay's have not been winning. Give him some time, however, and he and the boys will learn some lessons. They always do. Either that or get out--by request. The mental hospitals employ large numbers of male attend- ants who are about at the bot- tom of the scale of today's work- ing force. Aside from these, however, (and, again. if the Commission is correct) Oatario's pay for gov- ernment empioyees apparently does not stack up too badly against that in industry. NO STYLE? Things are happening down in the southeast corner of the main building here.

Now while John Doe is fighting figures comes the master stroke, Mr. Big is to appoint him a sub- agent so that when the neighbors come to admire the siding, he in- troduces them to the company and they pay a fat commission for his trouble.
