[4 Eye shorn Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 6 Wednesday, May 18, 1960 Coyne Returns To Theme Of Import Bill Danger J. E. Coyne, governor of the Bank of Canada, clearly has not been intimidated by those members of Parliament who have taken a surly view of his recent comments about Canadian economic policy. When he spoke at the annual meeting of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce last week, he was back on his favorite subject: the need to reduce gmports of both foreign goods and foreign capital. Indeed, he wasted no time on introductory platitudes, and began his speech thus: "I understand that the theme of this year's annual meeting of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce is The Golden Sixties. I shall probably not make my- self popular by remarking that all is not gold that glitters. , . If we do not see the dangers and pay heed to them, we shall never reach the goal that shines so invitingly." Mr. Coyne had nothing really new to tell the Chamber. But his thesis is so fundamental to Canada's economic health that it bears repeating: "In Canada . . . we still have a major eco- nomic problem to overcome if we are to live within our means and avoid the dislocations and set-backs which grow out of trying to do too much too soon with the aid of large-scale foreign borrowing." It would be an oversimplified view of economic processes to believe that an adequate supply of money and credit is the answer to all economic difficulties and problems, he pointed out. Correction of a shortage of total money or credit, if it develops or threatens to develop, is essential, but it does no more than contribute to a climate in which busi. ness enterprise may progress, It does not and cannot ensure that all the various spheres of action and decision in business and in government and in private affairs will function in such a way as to produce maximum growth, full employment and a balance in our international payments. "In some cir- cumstances, such as we have in Canada today, the result of additional over-all spending may be mainly to increase im- ports or to maintain them at an already excessive rate, that is, to contribute to employment and activity in other coune tries rather than Canada, financed by either a drain on our exchange reserves or an increase in our foreign debt." Mr. Coyne's recipe: cut spending on imports, expand domestic secondary in- dustry in various parts of the country, reduce foreign borrowing and increase domestic saving. Dangerous Fireworks Fireworks have already made their appearance on the streets of district eommunities, forerunners of the May 24 holiday (celebrated this year on May 23), and police and fire authorities are warning parents to use good sense in permitting their children to play with the crackers, bombs, rockets and what- have-you. Such warnings should not be necessary, but unfortunately they are. There are always some parents who do not seem to care what their children do =until a nasty "accident" has happened. Young children are irresponsible by mature, Give them fireworks to play with, without supervision, and inevit- ably they will explore the ways in which those fireworks can be used--- how the explosion sounds in a mail box or between doors, or how they can scare smaller children, how they startle cyclists and motorists. And inevitably, somebody gets hurt, something is de- stroyed. The blame for that hurt, that destruction lies more with the irrespons- ible parent theéh the mischievous child. Each year children are seriously in- jured as a result of play with fireworks; sometimes they die. Children are scarred for life, lose their sight, because of the "practical jokes" played with fireworks. These things are too dangerous to be given to children without supervision; the childish tricks can quickly get out of hand. At the best, they are a noisy nuisance; and at the worst they are deadly. Houses have been burned by fires that started with firecrackers tossed between inner and screen doors, and garages and vacant cars have been destroyed by the carelessly thrown "playthings". Here is some sound advice given by firefighting authorities as Victoria Day nears: A firecracker is an explosive; always treat it with respect. If a fire. cracker seems to have gone out in your hand, throw it into water imme- diately. Never cover firecrackers with glass jars or tin cans; this can result in severe injuries. Sewer gratings are no place to throw lighted fireworks; they might ignite any gas or oil present and cause a serious explosion. Finally, the best place to set off fireworks is at a supervised community display or under adult supervision in backyard large enough to prevent sparks or fragments from landing on neighboring roofs. Journey From Slavery When man first hitched a beast to a plow, he relieved himself of a'heavy burden of work--and made a slave. When he used a machine to do the work of the beast, he acquired a more efficient slave, and he himself moved farther out of the dark bondage of mind-dulling, soul-stifling labor. A century ago Karl Marx preached that machines would create a world of slaves; he could not see beyond the machine bondage of the industrial revolution, But that was only the start of a revolution that is still going on, one that has progressively liberated the worker from long hours of heavy labor. The movement is now in the early stage of what is called automation. Fhe Oshawa dimes 7. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Maneger €.

But broadly, it is part of the slow liberation of man from the sort of labor that is slavery and his release for work that can be ennobling and enlightening as well as productive. This was the subject of a recent article by Rockford College's Dean Russell. He wrote, in part: "By the mid-1830's, steam engines were the source of cheap power for an extensive industrial complex (manufac- turing and transportation) in Western Europe and the United States. For better or for worse, the modern age of mass-produced and low-cost industrial products was in full swing. "Karl Marx (and others) reached the conclusion that it was unquestion- ably for the worse. And, admittedly, they produced some telling evidence and persuasive ideas to support their convictions. But perhaps they were so busy slashing at the individual trees that they had no idea at all of the vast forest with which they were dealing. They condemned the age of mechanical power because it brought women and children into the deplorable factories of that era --at meager wages and long hours of killing labor. But the picture they drew was far from complete because, among other things, they utterly ignored the part that the mechanical revolution was playing in the abolition of the most ancient curse of mankind -- legalized human slavery." A UNITED STATES CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE LEFT DEFENCE MINISTER PEARKES HOLDING AN EMPTY BOMARC QUINER-- News iTem FROM OTTAWA THE BOMARC BEE READERS' VIEWS Zoning Measure Found Puzzling Dear Sir: Even among friends, weeks, months and years go by and many things that long ago should have been said are left unsaid, their time taken up with other activities Without further delay, I feel that there arc a number of things the people of this municipality (Darlington) should be informed of I wonder how many people are really familiar with the zoning bylaw and all it entails? I am not aware that any one person or 4 body either elected or appointed has attempted to gxplain it voluntarily, and even bod request you will not receive a clear picture, After reading the zoning book Zrom cover to cover, you might #e deluding yourself that you fully understand it. It is however an absurd assumption, and by the time you realize it, you can find yourself in the midst of a bigger problem than one would normally assume, We are led to believe that when a so-called committee of adjustment ie set up, it will make a big difference, The fact is that a committee of adjust. ment can only deal with very mi- nor things and certainly no re- zoning. Even the power of the Planning Board is limited, for they can only make recommen- dations to the Municipal Board and it is their decision to allow or deny any amendment which is worded by the municipal consul- tants and not by Council or the Planning Board. It is frankly ad- mitted that the plan is not "'per- fect" and is vulnerable in some respects, but that some changes "might be incorporated into amendments' sometime in the future, Darlington Ratepayers Associa- tion believes that these changes should be defined to guarantee against abusive use of authority. The men appointed may be men of integrity, but no law should be passed in a democracy to give houest men powers such as dishonest men would like to have. With the enforcement of the zoning bylaw and official plan, the majority of farms are auto- matically devaluated, farm taxes will continue to climb, and for various reasons many farmers will have to sell for whatever they can get for their farms, the purchasers being big real estate companies or land speculators, Don't forget that the Official Plan is not meant for just a year or two. It is the farmers who have the most to lose, Now, they may continue to sleep on this or wake up while they may still have a chance to save themsel. ves economically. from injustices imposed in the name of sound planning. Regardless of what you are zoned at present, you can still be you are willing to comply with {he zoning regulations to the let ter, on the ground that it is "premature" An amendment to the Official Plan, which was drawn up by the Municipal Consultant, but in our estimation means very little if anything, has not "yet been passed by Council, due to the objections of Councillors + Muir and Cornish." We hope they will have the stamina to uphold the stand they have taken. Only after the Official Plan is passed can the committee of adjustment be set up, which would, it is claimed, deal with emergencies, But who is jhdge whether or not it is an emer- gency? In the coming special ratepaye ers meeting May 28, everyone will have an opportunity to dis. cuss the pros and cons of zoning, and try to ascertain if the people of this township really accept the zoning or would prefer rules and regulations to which every. one must adhere, If the public really wants the zoning as we are told by the officials, then perhaps we are wasting our time fighting for a principle and for the benefit of the people as a whole... Darlington MRS. B. BUDAI Secretary, Darlington Ratepay- ers Assn, FOR BETTER HEALTH Purpose And Function Of Artificial Kidney HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. DOCTORS sometimes can e pretty tough people to convince. Take the artificial kidney, for example. It was in 1943 that the intri- cate device was first used suc- cessfully on a human patient in Holland. Opinions Differed Some doctors rejected the idea altogether. Others used it only as a last desperate measure. Within the last five years, however, the artificial kidney has become widely accepted, so much so that the National Kidney Foun- dation is kept busy supplying re- placement parts to hospitals throughout the entire country. Basic Purpose Basic purpose of the device is to duplicate the two chief functions of the human kidney as accurately as possible. These are to produce urine and to keep in balance a variety of chemical elements essential to health, Operation of an artificial kid- ney is simple. The blood runs through a semi- permeable tube, sometimes made of cellophane, which is im- mersed in a bath of chemicals. The tube draws the unwanted blood element through tiny pores as the blood runs through the eontainer. Often the blood is taken from an artery in the leg, pumped gently through the machine, and then returned to the body through a vein in the arm, Artificial kidneys are used in a variety of cases. For example, they can be used on persons who have taken an overdose of barbiturates, effects ing a complete cure sometimes within 48 hours. Poisoning Cases They also are used in many types of poisoning such as those caused by poison mushrooms, antifreeze, carbon tetrachloride and black widow spider bites. They can also be 'successfully used on the 'rare occasions when a patient receives a transfusion of mismatched blood. Other Uses Sometimes an artificial kidney is employed in certain types of nephrosis and pancreatitis and in cases of shock caused b accidents, And this is quite a different story than it was back in 1948.

Castle, administrator of the U.S. St. Lawrence seaway Development Corporation, which is the counterpart of our own St. Lawrence Seaway Authority gave this information to the U.S, Sen- ate in his annual report. It was immediately headlined in news- papers across North America that "Canada got the lion's share of seaway dollars." But Canada paid the lions share of the cost of constructing the seaway; hence it had always been agreed that Canada should lion's share of the earnings from sea- way tolls, WE PAID MOST COST Two years ago, the tolls com- mittee studying the seaway esti- mated that the total cost of the construction of the seaway was $419,000,000. Interest on this sum during construction was $23,000, 000. The total cost was therefore $442,000,000 of which $311,000,000 was borne by Canada. It was decided to fix a level of tolls estimated to amortize this expenditure over 50 years. To this constructioh cost, there is added the expense of operating and maintaining the seaway and its locks, This for example in. cludes hiring triple crews at each lock, to provide day and night service in eight-hour shifts. On this basis, the cost of the St. Lawrence Seaway, which is the 120 miles of deep waterway along the international section of the St. Lawrence River between Montreal and Prescott, is car- ried 70.27 per cent by Canada, PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Couplet of advice to disc jock- eys: Cut out the chatter -- Just spin the platter. Most people prefer that TV ad- vertising splels be delivered by cartoon characters, as those char- acters do not move them to dark thoughts of mayhem and murder. "Do you know what motivates you?" asks a psychologist. No, but we wish in a lot of cases it would stop doing it. "There are 25,000 legitimate ways of making a living," says a statistician. We wish he'd send us a list of the ways that don't entail work, thought or invest. ment, and only 20.73 per cent by U.S. The fairness and accurate fore- casting of this division was dra- matically shown by the fact that Canada's share of the total cargo carried on the seaway last year was 70.36 per cent. The cost of building and oper- ating the Welland Canal, which is entirely within Canadian terri- tory, was and is all Canada's re- sponsibility. So. the separate tolls charged for passing through the Welland Canal are all retained by Canada. Thus it happens that Canada's share of the seaway tolls, plus Canada's total retention of the Welland Canal tolls, amounted last year to 73 cents in every dollar spent by shipping on the combined waterway between Montreal and Windsor. The receipts on the seaway last year fell about one-quarter below the estimates for the ini _ tial year; and they were only 38 per cent of the estimated revenue & anticipated to be reached by the year 1968, and maintained there. after. ; Nevertheless the authorities are justifiably happy at the results so far achieved by the seaway. "These figures are very credit. able for the first year's opera. tion," sald Transport Minister George Hees, "even if they are short of the volume required for toll collections to meet amortiza- tion costs." It will be from five to seven years before the true seaway pate tern of traffic emerges; and by then the Seaway Valley in Cane ada and U.S. will have hit its expected growth of 1,000,000 addi~ tional residents per year.
