dhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E,, Oshowa, Ont, Page 6 Monday, Movember 14, 1960 More Jobs Being Found By Older U. S. Workers There is not much evidence thet there has been any substantial improvement in the atfitude of employers in general towards the hiring of older workers, despite protests that government and industry are thereby failing to tap a great store of skills, The situation in the United States, however, spparently is improving. A report from the US, National Association of Manufacturers says that workers in the 45 to 65 age bracket are obtaining jobs more easily than they did a few years ago, This change apparently stems not from just one but a series of causes, "Employers increasingly ere realizing" says the report, "that the worker be- tween 45 and 65 is frequently in his best years because of knowledge and judg ment gained through his experience, The development of machinery to replace strenuous physical effort hes made possible the retention and bringing of workers in jobs that would have been beyond their strength a few years ago," Employers find that though older employees may not work as fast as younger ones and may resist change of methods, they stay on the job more steadily, ere more careful, have better safety records, have patience end thoroughness, and in many cases can outproduce younger workers, The pension hurdle, which once seem» ed serious, is no longer an obstacle in a majority of leading companies, accords ing to a survey, Age levels are found to have only a slight effect on group insurance costs, Social security payments help. Bome employees have pension rights from former jobs, Some can be compensated in other ways if hired without inclusion in a company pension plan, In short, 8 problem that one stage seemed almost insurmountable has be. gun to yield to the application of thought, Still more thought is required, not only by employers but also by em- ployees who need to develop adapta- bility, the Christian Science Monitor observes, But ways are being found to make use of important human resources, and the NAM anticipates that the de. mand for older workers will even in. crease, More Research Needed Canadian business and government spend about $200 million, or about one per cent of gross national product, on research, Research spending in the United States is five times as great -- 2.7 per cent of GNP, In addition, Cana- dian subsidiaries of U.S, companies spend $20 million or so in US, to pay for research projects, and Canadian-owned companies pay U.S, research institutes $4 million or more a year to take on research studies, The Financial Post cites these figures to show that "our record to date in in. dustrial research, which provides the basis of economic growth, is not very good , , , We have taken the easy way out and let the U.8, do most our research for us, This is what makes for a nation of assemblers, not builders" The Post wonders: Is it any wonder our best research brains often go abroad to the place where research is big. Is it any wonder that responsible men such as James Coyne, governor of the Bank of Canada, say that one reason for our present economie difficulties traces back to undully slow growth of research facilities? In this connection, the work of a new committee of Canadian industrialists needs the full support of the business community, They are considering plans for establishing a research community in Canada similar to those which have so successful in, for example, Princeton and more lately, Sterling Forest outside New York, The aim is to re-establish an expand. ed Ontario Research Foundation on a large acreage in the Toronto-Hamilton area and around this focal point invite Canadian companies to concentrate their research laboratories and facilities, The results, it is hoped, would be an attrac. tive community that would be a magnet for the research minded, This is one of the most constructive and imaginative moves to be considered in Canada in years and years, It may mark the beginning of our much-needed advance in this effort on fundamentals, been Companies Pool Tclent In the harnessing of water power Can. ada is among the world's leaders, second only to the United States in total instals led hydro-electric capacity, The increase in the output of electric power, from 41,6 billion kilowatt-hours in 1946 to 99.4 billion in 1959, has paralled the transformation of Canada from a pre- dominantly agricultural nation to an in. dustrial nation, However, even though less than one-quarter of the country's known resources now are in use, a signifi cant change is taking place in the method of power generation, The change is from water power to thermal power, the use of steam to generate electricity, The reason is that in many parts of the country all the water power sites readily available to markets have been developed, In the last five years nearly half of the gene. rating capacity installed has been steam powered, When atomic- fueled steam plants take over from coal, the trend will be accelerated, If the Canadian electrical he Oshawa Times TL.

Average Daily Net Paid as of April 30, 1960 16,999 facturing industry, which has been very successful in the production of water. power generating equipment for both the export and domestic markets, is not to lose ground it will have to trans. fer its skills to the production of steams power generating equipment, Wisely, Ottawa has recognized the situation and in October revised the tariff schedule so that the same rate of duty will apply to both types of equipment, And to take advantage of the expanding market two large companies in the industry-- John Inglis of Toronto and Canadian Westinghouse of Hamilton == will co- operate in the output of steam turbo. generator sets, The steam turbine portion of the equipment will be made by Inglis, the electric generator portion by West. inghouse, Spokesmen for the two firms estimate that in the next five years demand for stéam-generator equipment coyld result in employment by the manufacturers, their suppliers of raw and semi-processed materials and in the supporting service industries of 12 to 16 million man- hours of work per year, This is a substan. tial amount of employment and keeping it within Canada will be quite important to the whole economy, The manufacture of heavy electrical equipment requires both skill and heavy capital investment, For the industry to break into a new field will not be easy and thus the idea of pooled talents seems @& most practical approach, Other Editor's Views NEVER A FAIR TAX (Windsor Star) Major Canadian automobile manufac. turers have presented their cases to the Royal Commission, They have made some good points and some not so good, Principal among the good ones is the advocacy of eliminating the 7% % excise tax, This never has been a fair tax as it classifies automobiles as luxuries, They cannot be so constructed in this modern age. They are essential to the Canadian way of life v GRANDSTAND QUARTERBACK OTTAWA REPORT Pearkes Responds For Fourth Time By PATRICK NICHOLSON Probably no cabinet minister, on his retirement from Ottawa at the end of his political career, has ever had a send-off to match that spontaneously given to George Pearkes, Certainly none has ever more genuinely earned that tribute by a lifetime of cour. age and devotion and loyalty in the service of his country Today, at the age of 72, that valiant old soldier has embarked on his fourth separate response to the call of national service, aid and supported as ever by his gra. clous consort who had become Ottawa's most respected "cabinet wife." The phenomenal record of Brit. ish Columbia's new Lieutenant Governor started when he was sworn in as a constable in the RCMP, Before long he was heck. oned by war to enlist in the Canadian Mounted Rifles; that began a 30-year career in which' won every reward open to a The end of World War HI and In he soldier saw him turn politician, REPORT FROM U.K, Military Cross for 'conspicuous gallantry", again when wounded, In fact German marksmen scored . direct hits on him on five separs 15 years he achieved almost sim- ller success, whether fighting for the destruction of Ripple Rock or backing his friend John Diefen baker for the leadership of their party, He won every election he fought, by majorities which rose from a narrow squeak at Na naimo to a thumping double of the total votes polled hy his four opponents at Esquimalt-Saanich, Finally he was selected to join the Diefenbaker cabinet In (he important role as minister of na- tional defence, Last month he transferred to Government House, Victoria, thus completing his journey from jun for Mountie in the Yukon to Per. sonal Representative of our Mon. arch in B.C, BY SHOT AND SHELL Old sweats alone can know how in World War I George Pearkes won the Victoria Cross at Pas. schendaele, for "conspicuous bravery" in leading an attack although he was already wounded, He won the coveted Dover Ignoring Tunnel Proposal By M, McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng,) Correspondent For the Oshawa Times DOVER, England Engineers at this historie port on the south- east corner of England, one of the gateways to the continent of Europe, are drawing up plans for a modernization scheme which will cost upwards of four mill'on pounds sterling, They have an eye to the future, They are dreaming of the day when Hovercraft will be skimming in from the cons tinental channel ports, bringing hundreds of cars and thousands of passengers While the modernization scheme at the port of Dover Is selting the pattern for the future, it is really overdue, Already some 300,000 motor ears and two and a half million passengers each yaar pass to and from Dover and the cons tinental ports of Ostend, Dunkirk, Calais and Boulogne. Each year, the number grows and 'he con gestion during the busy season grows more intense, TUNNEL SCHEME The proposed tunnel under the English Channel also enters to the plans of the engineers, Ever since calls for the tunnel were re- vived in 1957, the Dover harbor hoard has repeatedly appealed for an early decision on this age. old project, But the board still waits for an answer which could revolutionize the port and town of Dover, The townspeople cannot help remembering that the shadow of a Channel Tunnel has been hanging over the port since it was first mooted in 1802, The harbor hoard is now tired of waiting, It is going ahead with its plans for extending and mod- ernizing the port facilities for shipping for the future as if the threat of a tunnel does not exist, TO END CONGESTION Passengers who have travelled to the continent by way of Dover can well remember the terrible "congestion there during the peak of the season. All cars using the port have had to drive through the twin portals at the two berths for cross-Channel vessels The board plans to construet two, and possibly four, additional berths, It is to reclaim 10 acres of land from the harbor, and on it lay out ferry terminal offices, customs examination halls, car parks and the new berths, At the outset, two berths will be built for the use of cross. channel steamers The other two will be held In abeyance for a time so that they can be adapted to take Hovercraft or even more @dvanced types of transport, With six berths in operation, the port will then be able to handle up to 20,000 automobiles a day, crossing to and from the con. tinent, In a laboratory in Middle. S€X, engineers are working out pians to establish the best posi tions for the new steamer berths, There, within sound of the roar of aircraft leaving London aire port, a scale model of Dover har. bor has been built, on a scale of 1-100th inch, Civil engineers, working with model boats, simu. late waves to judge the best positions for the berths, And in due course, the lessons learned in the laboratory will take shape in the enlarged and modernized Daver harbor, ' effect { he also Service Order and the French ate occasions, twice with grave In the battles of Flanders won the Distinguished Croix de Guerre Early in World War 11, George Pearkes won promotion to Major- General, Later, two signal tribe utes came to him; he was awarded the CB for his "out- standing serviee and unflagging devotion to duty" --qualities which ive consistently guided his con duct in publie life; and our then prime minister, Mackenzie King, gave him a "mention" in his pri- ate diary; "I like General Pearkes; he has an extremely pleasant manner and is 8 man of fine ideals," FIGHTING FOR OUR ARMY In recent montis as a enhinet minister, Mr, Pearkes suffered wounds which perhaps hurt him more than German bullets, He battled tooth and nail with his cabinet colleagues to win ap. proval for expenditures on mills tary purposes in which he be- lieved, But defence-spending poses a problem in Canada, which he clearly set out in his last great speech in Parliament, delivered significantly on Aug, 4, and couched in what he called "an old soldier's plain language, com- ing as an anticlimax to the poetie heights of oratory of others," As Canada cannot afford total defence against modern weap- ons, our protection must inevits ably be a compromise, he hinted He might more brutally have pointed out that people who ecan- not pay cash for a used jalopy should not demand multi-million dollar defence missiles, Defence Minister Pearkes was sorely hurt hy this repeated snap. ping at his heels, by snarling and unintelligent curs, who should have damned Canadians' unwill- Ingness to pay higher taxes, not the policy which he tailored to fit available cash resources But the Service Chiefs under- stood his problem, They liked thelr old-soldier boss, and when others dubbed him Colonel Blimp," they retorted: "In ap- pearance perhaps, but not an une intelligent Colonel Blimp." 8a, with the RCAF pipers, and their own staffs, and his staff, and his friends, and all the cabinet, they assembled at Ottawa's airport to wish him and his lady God Speed to and at the capital of his be- loved home-province, QUEEN'S PARK INSIDE YOU Dust Can Prove Tough As Pollen By BURTON NH.

This is a question that has been causing some concern here, A committee on rules and prae- tices of the House has been sits ting, One of its decisions was to ree ominend that there should be a 40-minute limit on members speeches, Ano the PC and Liberal mem- hers of the group contended this also should apply to CCF leader donald MacDonald, ALL RECOGNIZED It is most unlikely it ever will, For many years now all opposis tion groups have been given spe- cial recognition Even when the Communists held two sedls they were given rankings in the Throne Speech aid budget debates which gave them an informal status as offi- cial "parties." This meant that their leader took equal time with the other opposition groups in the debates, Also that they had their own of fice space, MEANT STRAIN The objection voiced to this practice, of course, is that it takes up too much time of the House, The Communist members, in fact, between them used to use up nearly as much time as the government, And the CCF has never spared the horses when it came to the debating league, With our provineial affairs be. coming more and more complex this has meant considerable strain--particularly on the pa. tience of the members, However when you get down to a question of ethies it would still be hard to justify cutting off the CCF members, It must be remembered that they represent a very substantial public vote, And the voice of this vote should be heard It might be wise on their part if they kept their position in mind and used some self control But a forced cut-off would seem to be entirely out of question, NO CUT? The other recommendations of the committee are admirable, But it is doubtful if they can be put into practical effeet. Cutting down private members speeches to 40 mihutes is a most attractive dream, Some of them now rum over three hours. One of the curious side issues, however, is that those who con tend the speeches should be cut down in many cases are mem bers who speak the longest And there is the suspicion that they will feel that what they have to say is too imporfant to be cut fire--by rubbing pleces of wood with melted butter, The Veda, re« liglous book of the Hindus, says that the ancient Aryans adopted this method, CALL FOR PRAYERS Shri Jagatguru Shankara Acharya, one of India's most venerated philosophers, will pre. side over the Yagna, "Mankind faces the threat of complete annihilation by atomle weapons," he told a throng of de- votees, "It is the duty of Gods fearing men the world over to wake up to the realities and do something to halt this march te destruetion," Shankara Acharya, who has a direct following of some 10,000, 000 in India, suggested a "prayer movement' should he started all over the world, "You cannot une devestimate the power of prays ers," he says, 3 He wants churches, mosques, temples and synagogues in every country to undertake an anti-nue clear weapons campaign, "Jesus Christ has shown what prayer can do, In our own time, Mahatma Gandhi melted the hearts of the British rulers of India by. the power of gentle persuasion, I am full of » that if only the massive | ir goodness within us al: 's mobi lized the spectre of destruction hovering over us can be banished forever."
