dhe Oshavon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Tuesday, April 5, 1960 Nuclear Power Progress Slower Than Expected While there seems little doubt that in time the world will need to call on the energy obtainable from uranium, it may be slower in doing so than countries such as Canada with its large reserves would like, says the current Monthly Review of The Bank of Nova Scotia, which deals with the growth of the uranium industry and the outlook for nuclear power. In the past year or so the decided easing in supplies of conventional fuels and a clearer understanding of the tech- nological and economic problems ine volved in nuclear power have, for the present, taken much of the lustre off this new source of energy. In many countries, plans for nu- clear power installations have been cut back. At the same time deliveries of uranium for military purposes have ex- ceeded requirements, Thus the whole uranium market picture has changed. It is clear that the build-up in world iranium eapacity is now well in excess of the probable demand for some time to come Canada unfortunately is the first sountry to feel the impact of the grow. ing us of uranium. Production will be sharply curtailed as contracts are stretched out over a longer period. The contrast five or six years ago under the spur of military de- mines wers developed as rapidly possible relatively little with with re- , is startling 8, most of the increase in world uranium capacity called for under the contracts had come into operation But it was also becoming clear world output at the 1859 rate of around 42,000 tons was outrunning expected ilitary and civilian demand With mil ry demand beyond the mid-1960"s that is how rapidly the civilian market will expand. Three or four years ago expecta~ tions of the rate of growth in nuclear power were highly optimistic and am- bitious plans were made, particularly in Europe. In part this reflected pro- gress in nuclear development and ex panding supplies of uranium. But in part it reflected fears that coal pro- duction would prove inadequate to meet rising demand and that growing imports of oil would represent a heavy charge on Europe's balance of pay- ments, Since then the situation has chang- ed substantially, It has become clear that world capacity to produce and transport oil is more than ample. The discovery of major oil fields in the Sa- hara has not only added to world re- serves but given Europe a source of supply not dependent on the Suez Canal, Increased supplies of oil at lower prices cut more sharply into coal mar- kets and this along with the economie recession of 1058 led to a pile-up of eoal stocks. It seems clear, the Review con- eludes, that for some time the outlook for uranium will depend on the size of military demand and the rate of growth in nuclear power. And it may well be that for the next decade military de- mand will continue to be the dominant factor in the market. For it would seem that there are no compelling reasons to reverse the slow-down in nuclear power development By the 1870s, nuclear power is expected to be gaining in im- portance. And over the long-term the expansion in world energy needs is ex- pected to place an increasing strain on reserves of fossil fuels, It is this pros- pect which brings the importance of uranium and nuclear power into focus. however, Interest In Outdoors Scientific interest in g 8 { botany, or conservation generally--is mounting in Ontario, in part because of the ef- forts of such educational associations as the Federation of Ontario Natural iste now in its thirtieth year. The achievements of the FON during the past fice years for example, are little short of remarkable for a non-profit organization chronically short of funds for the task it has set for itself The Federation is formed by some 48 natural history clubs and an individ- 1a] membership of approximately 3,500 scattered across Ontario. Each one of these clubs has voluntarily affiliated with the FON to participate in its ed- seationa! work, receive its literature and to take part in social and scien- sifie outings during the vear Last year, the FON launched the Young Naturalists Club for boys and irls from reading age up. The Young ralists now number almost 3,000 , several of them from outside rovince.

Dr. Pierce's announcement a short time ago that after a short vacation he plans to pursue a vigorous program of writing should be most welcome for in this way he will, without doubt, add lustre to the field of Canadian letters he has helped to create and to develop.

Continued increas- ing attendance at the regional outings has been noticed during the past five years.

This should be a valuable documentary for it was during Dr. Pierce's term of office that the Canadian publishing business came nto its own after suffering considerable growing pains Although Dr. Pierce says he later intends to set down his memoirs, we can see the possibility of this first work of his retirement years shot through with autobiography- and biography as he re- sounts his own experiences and his re- lationships with some of the people he knew intimately and encouraged in their efforts to become writers of merit. Dr. Pierce himself is an executor of the estate of the late Bliss Carman, one of Canada's greater poets. This came about because of an intimate friend- ship and it is gratifying to know that another Carman biography will be the outcome. Bible Thoughts 1 thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, that hast made known unto me now what we have de- sired of thee--Daniel 2:23. If men would thank God more, they would be in a more receptive mood. Men who think only of themselves close the door to God's help. Men who think of God open the way for God to do more for them Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.--Daniel 1:12. Daniel believed in his diet of foods so much that he was not afraid to risk the eating of healthy foods as compared to the rich food offered by the king. At the end of the time, Daniel knew he would show more health than if he ate what was not good for him. QUEEN'S PARK Wives Of Members Take Active Roles TORONTO--The women! Someone here suggested we should have a separate parlia- ment, Sort of a ladies aid affair It would be composed of the members' wives The point would be to them out of trouble--and our parliamentary system destruction by hair-pin WATCH HEROS: There are a large aumber of wives around the chamber this year They sit in the galleries and watch their heroes at work. This is not so unusual, and .in the past has not caused much trouble It has handicapped the occa- sional cabinet minister--how can you expect a man to be his im- pressive best when he knows the production boss of his dish-pan is eyeing him with disrespect But otherwise it has not had much influence on harmony or the conduct of our public affairs. CLIMB OVER! Now, however changed This year some of the wives have moved in to take an active hand Obviously not too impressed with the job their husbands are doing they have been trying to climb over the ropes into the ring itself keep save from this has been they have managed some vigor ous sparring in the galleries, lob- bies and elevators. CAN'T HIT The wife of one prominent member, for instance, one might did her bit by heckling the pre- mier from the gallery She did it so effectively that finally a member--not her hus band--turned to her and yelled "keep quiet" Another wife has been playing the elevators. She gets a member from the other side cornered in there and tells him how unfair he has been to her husband. There is nothing he can do After all you can't slug a woman, Not in the Parliament Buildings. MIND PEACE There is obviously only answer. That is to give the women their own forum Then their husbands would be abie to do their jobs with the freedom they have been looking for all their lives, And the women at find peace mind.

BUNDESEN, MD I WOULD like to depart slight ly from our regular monthly re- view of medicine today to dis- cuss two new developments which are not drugs or medicine. But they are related to our well-being, and I think they are important enough to mention here. EYE AND EAR AIDS One is a new type of hearing aid which reportedly picks up whispered sounds while blocking out background noises, and the other is a new type of electric lamp designed for seeing rather than for show. And this, in itself, seems to me fo be a radical departure, First, though, I want to em- phasize that I am merely dis- cussing these articles' because they are new and different, I am not recommending them. #8 PER CENT BETTER Manufacturers of the new hear- ing aid claim it offers a 98 per cent greater range of reproduc- tion and amplified sounds than is possible through other transistor aids. They say it delivers the closest thing to normal hearing produced thus far. Whispered sounds such as "th", "g, "sh" and "h" are amplified 30 they can be heard, according to the manufacturer, At the same time, the device puts into proper balance such background sounds as typing noises, clothing rustle and res- taurant clatter. The sight-saver lamp is a floor model with adjustable height. When you set it at your eye level, a shield keeps the light out of your eyes and directs it down to the desired area as well as upward for general illumi- nation. Using a three-light bulb with ratings of 50, 100 and 150 watts, the lamp gives more than 130 foot-candles of soft light over a working area at its maximum point. It is lightweight and can easily be moved about PREVENTS EYESTRAIN The Better Vision Institute, on factual and their lamp may avoid eye which reports monthly news about the eyes conservation, says the heii many 'persons to strain I want to add that no matter what type of lighting you use, make sure it is bright enough to enable you to read easily without causing undue strain. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. G. M.: Shortly after the birth of my last child ten years ago, [ developed bleeding from the rectum. This occurs not only upon bowel movement but also if exert myself even slightly. Lately I noticed a small lump in this region. My husband feels this is seri- ous but since I have no pain I do not. May I have your opinion? Answer: Indeed these symp- toms may indicate a serious con- dition and must not be ignored. It is not necessary to have pain. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "Worry will kill a person," says a person. Maybe so, but it will probably take it a long time to do so, as many people who have been worrying considerably more than half a century are still alive and kicking. When it comes to estimating the purchasing power of an in- come, the average person looks at it through rose-colored micro- scopes. It's deplorable that an explod- ing population * brings people closer together physically, as the more people associate with one another, the meaner they be- come, due to the fact that people have a bad influence on people. "l have made a typewriter that can be operated as fast as the average person can think," says an inventor. Any typewriter can be operated that fast or fast. oe.

McINTYRE HOOD Special to The Oshawa Times LONDON ---~ Warning of a Com- munist plot to paralyze the docks and the power, gas and motor industries have been given by James Matthews, national officer of the General and Municipal Workers' Union. Mr. Matthews, who has always been a hard-hit ting opponent of Communism in trade unions, believes that April 8 has been fixed as the zero date for a national stoppage of work in these basic industries. Mr. Matthews claimed also that he had evidence that, as a first step leading to a national stop- page, a series of guerilla strikes was being organized by the Com- munist - dominated national shop stewards' movement. SOME EVIDENCE There is some evidence that he may be right in what he says. A one-day strike was called by 280 maintenance men in five of the 18 stations of the North London gas board. The plan apparently is for the different trades to go on strike on different days, lead- ing up to the all-out stoppage which Mr. Matthews claims is scheduled for April 8. A. B. Badger, industrial rela- tions officer for the Gas Council, also believes that this will be the pattern. He said that he under- stood that the carpenters, brick- layers and blacksmiths would strike on one day, electricians the next followed by the engine fitters and then the pipe fitters. Mr. Badger has urged the general secretary of the Confederation of ship - building and Engineering Unions to take immediate action to see that these unjustified and unofficial strikes are prevented. The reason for April 8 being given as the date for a general stoppage of work in these basie industries is that on that day the Gas Council will make its reply to the claims of its workers for increased pay. An unfavorable reply -- and that is what the union expects -- might well set off the chain reaction to a nation- al stoppage in the power, gas and motor industries and at the docks. OTTAWA REPORT Slight Liberal Trend Electoral Sentiment By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA-If a federal election had been held last August, the Diefenhal gov t would have suffered grievous losses. In the province of Quebec alone, as many as 30 of its present 51 sup- porters would probably have gone down to defeat. But in the past six months, the Conservatives have recovered an appreciable part of their lost ground in Quebec, and they have widened their lead over the Lib- erals in Ontario. These gains out. weigh losses in the Maritimes and in the West since early last fall If a federal general election were to be held today, the Con- servatives might be expected to be returned to power with 180 seats, which would give them a majority of better than two to one in the Commons. The Lib- erals would gain 19 seats from the Conservatives, to increase their representation to 68; the CCF would gain 7 to nearly doulbe their present 8 MPs; and the Social Credit would win 2 seats to end their complete ab- sence from Parliament. Conservative losses would likely be spread over nearly all provinces, and might include 1 in Nova Scotia, 3 in New Brunswick, 7 in Quebec, 4 in Ontario, 2 in Manitoba, 3 in Saskatchewan, 2 in Alberta, 5 in B.C. and 1 in the Yukon. EXERCISE ON PAPER These hypothetical changes re- flect the swing between the ac- tual votes cast in the election held just two years ago, and the electoral sentiment revealed this month by a nationwide poll of public opinion, The nature of this swing would be illustrated in certain key ridings. For example, Arnold Peters, the young CCF member from Kirkland Lake, who won the last two elections by the skin of his teeth and a collective ma- jority of only 266 votes, would to- day coast to a comfortable vic. tory. In 1958 a meagre 117 votes were the victory margin of Bert Badanai in Fort William; today that Liberal would romp home in the one-time stronghold of the former Conservative leader, Hon. R. J. Manion. Grant Campbell, the Tory rookie who trium- phantly captured Cornwall from the Liberals in 1958, would see his majority of 1,987 considerably slimmed. : These prognostications by am impersonal slide-rule on the basis of poll figures are a bad sub- stitute for the hot-blooded votes inspired by the personal element in an election; but they are the HISTORIC BEDS PARIS (AP)--Soviet Premier Khrushchev will sleep in some historic beds during his visit te France. They include the cano- pied bed in the royal apartments of the French foreign ministry, which previously has been occu- pied by such guests as Churchill and Eisenhower, and one at Mar seille that was used by Napoleon m best gauge of public opinion now available, Their outstanding feature is the remarkable Conservative up swing in Quebec. This change in that key province has been brought about partly by such varied factors as the appointment of the first French-Canadian Gov- ernor General, and the immed! ate popularity of General Georges Vanier in that post; and the settlement of some long-out- tending dispates bak Qu sf p e bec and Ottawa concerning pro- vincial sovereignty. But perhaps the greatest single factor has been the rapid emer- gence 'of Hon, Pierre Sevigny as a leader among French-Cana- dians in the populous western end of the province, during the six months since he was appointed to the cabinet, It is a very long span in history since a Conserva- tive leader enjoyed the advan- tage of a Quebec lieutenant pos- sessing authority, political awareness, creative thinking and a sense of power--essential qual- ities in a politician who is to emerge as a leader. Sevigny is beginning to evidence these qual- ities and around Montreal I have found Conservatives instinctively placing themselves behind him. This is filling a gap in Western Quebec, while in the eastern of the province the Conservative chief has long enjoyed the loyal service of such trusted aides as Hon. Leon Balcer and Hon. Ray O'Hurley A small but interesting straw in this month's opinion poll is the substantial recovery being made by Social Credit i» the West. CHILDREN D0 HAVE WORMS .
