She Oshawa Sines | Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1961 -- PAGE 6 Ships, Plants Causing Great Lakes It has now been established that drilling for oil and gas in Lake Erie has been responsible for an insignificant portion of the pollution that is gradually transforming that, and the other Great Lakes, into huge sewers The finding does not lessen the gravity of the de- teriorating situation, however; nor does it make less urgent comprehensive action by Canadian and U.S. authorities to halt the slow destruction of this vitally im- portant water system. The Great Lakes system influences the lives of a sixth of North America's population. More than ten million people live in cities and towns along its shores, most of them taking from it the water they need for their homes and their factories. It sustains life, industry end recreation -- but if the pollution continues it will be fit only for the Pollution passage of ships. And if its use is thus limited, the cities it has spawned will also begin to die. Dr. George B. Langford of the University of Toronto, a director of the Great Lakes Institute, places the blame on the enormous amount of waste and debris dumped into the Great Lakes by ships and industrial plants. This opinion is supported by R. J. Hull, president of Cities Service Oil Company, who, in a panel discussion conducted by the Department of North- ern Affairs, declared effective pollution controls should be necessary for every new industry in Canada. Why such controls should be limited to new industries is a question. Old in- dustries cannot claim a vested right to pollute these vitally. important water- ways. Home And School Month The Home and School Association is now the largest organization of volunteer workers in Canada. Well into its second quarter-century of existence, it is now well established in all parts of the 'country -- well enough established to be 'assured that a critical self-examination 'will strengthen rather than weaken it. 'This month, designated as Home And 'School Month, is an appropriate time for such an examination. The Association has been criticized-- !by some of its own members as well as "by outside observers -- on the grounds that it is complacent, fearful of contro- versy and all too often forgetful of its stated aims. The criticisms are gener- alizations and therefore a mixture of fact and fancy. There is no doubt that many a Home and School group is little more than a social gathering, a convenient excuse for mothers to get together with the comfortable feeling that they are "not really wasting time. The highest » achievements of such groups, of course, 'is the exchange of gossip. But there are Sother groups which take an active and { constructive interest in the relations be- + tween their homes and their schools -- 'relations that have a tremendous influ- ence on the success or failure of a school system, The. Home and School code of ethics contains the following pledges: "I will establish a direct and personal contact with the school my children attended by availing myself of the opportunity to visit it and 'get first-hand information regarding the equipment, teaching and activities of the school. I will encourage sympathetic and construc- tive attitude towards the school and its activities. I will support and co-operate with teaching staff and board of educa- tion to the fullest possible extent, I will make no hurried criticisms, but will act only on the basis of accurate first-hand information after sober judgment. I will provide home conditions favorable to study and will co-operate with the school in developing and protecting the health and character of the children." These pledges obviously make the Home and School an instrument of co- operation rather than criticism. It can be asked, then, if controversy has any place in its functions. What is certain is that if every Home and School member car- tied out the pledges, the educational climate in this country would be greatly improved -- with or without controversy. 'Young People Defended Many people are inclined to be over ' critical of young people these days. » They have little sympathy with their ' problems as they struggle to adjust to "the fast-moving world in which we live. However, the young people have a de- fender in the Christian Century. The editor of the magazine asserts that never before in the history of mankind have so many young people been confronted by such anxiety-generating circumstances as face the youth of today. "Yesterday", the editorial continues, "the future was a steady thing, exerting its pull and its restraint upon young life in nurture and control. Today the un- certainties of tomorrow eat their corrod- ing way into the interior fibres of our youth, "The marvel is that so many of them plen and conduct their lives as they do, that so many of them take their lives as seriously as they do, that respect for self remains in so many young people when their elders show so little reverence for mankind.

The way he figures it, people should eat from six to nine meals a day.

They likely would -- with the excep- tion of mama, who would face the psychological pressure of washing dishes nine times a day.

THEY'RE ONLY PIECES OF PAPER REPORT FROM U.K. Italian Migrants Town's Problem By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent To The Oshawa Times LONDON -- One community in southern England which will welcome the restrictions on im- migration which have been foreshadowed by Home Secre- tary R, A. Butler, is the town of Hoddesdon, in Hertford- shire. So far as the council and people of this town are con- cerned, these restrictions are long overdue. They have already made appeals to the minister of labor, John Hare, io the following terms: "Please take immediate steps to prevent further immigration into our town. Our population is already 600 above the 1973 target." TOO MANY ITALIANS The concern of the Hoddesdon council has nothing to do with any color bar. That does not enter into it at all. Their chief complaint is that the town has been invaded by nearly 1,000 im- migrants from Italy. They have segregated themselves in one district, and have created a "little Italy" in the Rye Park area, In addition to their direct plea to the minister of labor, the council is also asking for the support of the minister of housing, of their MP, Sir Derek Walker-Smith and the Urban District Councils Association. The councillors demand that, at the very least, they should be consulted before any more Ital- jans are allowed to settle in their area. The housing com- mittee has told the council that the growing influx of Italians has caused an already serious housing situation to deteriorate. STEPPING STONE A report on the situation has been compiled by the clerk of the council, Leonard G, Jones, He explains that some Italians were allowed to come to Brit- ain to fill vacancies in the Lea Vailey nursery industry, for which no British labor was available. These immigrants are restricted to the nursery industry for four years after their arrival. But Mr. Jones believes that many Italians are only using the nursery industry as a stepping stone. His report says: "Whereas the nursery in- dustry in this urban district is declining, the number of Ital- ian immigrants residing here is increasing because of their em- INSIDE YOU Doctor's Riches Past Calculation By BURTON H. FERN, MD Would you like to be rich? Study medicine! A doctor's riches can't be measured in dollars and cents. What's worth more than the toothless grin of a wrinkled, aging face when you hold out new hope? Or the victory after an all-night vigil with a ghostly, half-dead child? How can you measure the gratitude of a crippled teenager whose leg lengthening operation helped her win a rock 'n roll contest? Or a simple discovery that may save thousands of lives? A few hours with a suicide- bound college girl seems extra valuable when she's married and raising six happy young- sters years later. YOU FEEL GOOD! Anxious mothers, screaming earaches, early cancers, long- faced ulcers, swollen joints, even those Icbster-red sunburns -- every cure, every soothed pain, every new smile makes you feel gond all over! You don't work alone. Into ever patient goes the know- ledge of hundreds of teachers and research specialists. You'll find a little Freud in all psychi- atric treatment, a bit of Sir Alexander Flemming in every penicillin shot and some of Doc- tors Salk and Enders in every vial of polio vaccine. Medical careers fit every per- sonality. If you like people, you'l: love office hours. Scien- tists can explore life's secrets in research centers. Teaching can bring your know'edge to mil lions of patients. Addicted to capable hard-work ing students, medical schools crave more and more. But don't apply unless you have determin- tion and guts! CAN YOU DO THESE? You have to work and study nights and weekends, when everyone else is off having fun. Can you face dangerous germs and violent patients without cringing? Are you strong enough to carry the burden of a life-or-death decision? Remember, that comfortable income and MD status symbol can tarnish overnight. But if you want real rewards, locked inside your heart where they can't tar- nish, join the medical frater- nity! ployment in neighboring rural parts. Italian families often club together to buy and share a house, and young couples have compiained that because of this they are being priced out of the housing market." LOANS ARE BARRED The town council has already barred house purchase loans to "aliens". This was to have been reconsidered after six months, but it will now remain in effect until the credit squeeze is eased, Councillor Mrs. Winifred Wil- liams, chairman of the finance cominittee, says: 'We have a moral duty to our townspeople. We are not against any particu. lar race, but we are in danger of being swamped by social and economic problems." And another councillor, Ern- est Wilkinson, adds this: "There has been a lot of social discontent here. Between 500 and 700 Italians have congre- gatec in one area, We already have the difficulty of teaching them English and when their children grow up, we shall have to try to find them council houses, although we already have over 300 of our own peo- ple on the waiting list." So, for the council of Hod- desdon, Mr. Butler's control of immigration cannot come too soon. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "It's deplorable that so many people try to get something for nothing," says a_ sociologist. Yes--and it's downright lament- able that so many of them suc- ceed in doing so. "No government is better than its people,"' says an editor. True. And most of them are a darn sight worse. No mater how many spirals of inflation we have to climb, we always eventually arrive at the top landing from which we have to descend via the toboggan. The reason a person's evalu- ation of himself is much higher than that placed on him by others is that he appraises him- self on the basis of what he plans to do tomorrow, and others judge him by what he did yesterday. BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO The Oshawa Anglers' Club 'held its meeting at the Genosha Hotel and decided to ask the Ontario Federation of Anglers to hold its next meeting here. A committee consisting of George Robertshaw, Ewart Alger, George Smith, C. M. Mundy, J. L. Lovell and D. M. Tod was nominated to arrange the next club meeting. The Women's Welfare League report showed over 700 families were assisted in the past year. Fire Chief W. R. Elliott was the guest of honor at the regu- lar meeting of the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce. He was presented with a championship shield which the city won in the Dominion-wide fire prevention contest, by Frank L. Mason, president of the board. G. Norman Irwin established a new apple packing and stor- ing piant ox his farm at Stone- haven, west of Whitby. The new enterprise was called Red Wing Orchards storage plant. Buehler Brothers took poss- ession of the store at 12 King street east, formerly occupied by John McGill. The Oshawa Ministerial Asso- ciation held its November meet- ing at Simcoe Street United Church with the president-elect, Rev. J. §. L. Wilson, in the chair. Rev. J. R. R.

Like the curate's egg, part will come as a distinct shock t the honest and well-intentioned socialists who made up the mili- tant backbone of the old Co-op- erative Commonwealth Federa- tion. Many of its proposals make such sense that it is surprising to find others outlining a planned society for Canadians which would be more reminis- cent of the plot of the Kremlin than of the dream of Utopia. CONSUMER IS KING One praiseworthy assertion bluntly states: "Everyone in Canada is a consumer" and promises to create a ministry representing the interests and ideas of the consumer. The NDP will take energetic measures to prevent the drug In industry from exploiting the public, it says; and it will im- pose a limit upon the interest rates charged on consumer eredit These are both longtime proposals eloquently urged in Parliament by the present CCF leade:, Hazen Argue. Then we come to the startling © announcement that "the NDP will protect the Canadian con- sumer by regulating the level of prices throughout the econ- omy" Including the price of labour? Yet one is impossible without the other, say economists here. Many politicians are trained and active in the legal profes- sion. Some of these are»enow en- joyiug coffee - time speculation upon the number of horse-drawn carts which could be driven through the discrepancies in the NDP program. For example, the NDP would raise the corporation tax rate, espevially on undistributed prof- its Yet the taxes levied on cor- porations are already claimed to be so high as to discourage enterprise, whilst many corpor- ations seeking additional capital QUEEN'S PARK Death Of Member Legislature Loss By DON O'HEARN TORONTG -- Albert Wren came into'this house in 1951 like a refreshing breeze--or storm cloud, The Liberals were in a sorry state and hadn't shown a worth- while new face through. three e'ections. And here was a man who could think, who could speak and who could fight -- as he showed at his first session. A WORKER From that first year Mr. Wren was always one of the top men on the opposition side of the house. Not only was he one of the best debaters, he was a prodi- gious worker. He prepared not only his own speeches but those of several other members. He was always available as a speaker at party meetings large or small. And he ranged the province looking for "the facts." FROST LOST He won three elections. His majorities were always scant. But where others had to take on only the candidates op- posing him he had to fight prac- tically the whole PC party. Premier Frost took an early dislike to him--when he accused the government of Political fa- voritism in his riding, And he a everything possible to defeat im. In the 1959 election he even opened the campaign in Kenora. But somehow or other the Lib- eral member always managed to come through. FOUGHT LIBERALS He took on his own party also, of course, He broke traces against the leadership of Farquhar Oliver. And more than anyone else was responsible for the convention which elected John Wintermeyer as leader. But despite this aggressive in- dependence he still kept friend- ships and respect on both sides of the house. One reason for this was that he was a man's man among men. He showed this during the war, when he had one of hte best records in the air force-- though he never talked of this, And he showed it in the house when he never backed down from a fight. Pg 45 he was very young to e. But he had been in and out of hospitals for years. And again he never talked of this. He was a man of dignity. are compelled--by the timidity of Canadian investors--to derive this from profits withheld from distribution to investors. This proposal, coupled with the planned governmental price fixing, would actively discour- ' age Canadian and foreign in- vestors, and might lead to a flight of capital into other coun- , tries. This in turn would slash job opportunities for Canadians. JOBS FOR ALL Yet the program asserts that the NDP can "guarantee" jobs for all. It will enable "jobless Canadians to claim a job as a socia] right by applying to the public local! employment office." The program does not explain where, in a shrinking economy, the employment office will find empoyers offering vacancies. Here, say some lawyer politi- cians, the NDP seems to res- semble a snake eating its own tail. For this unrealistic proum- ise that the NDP, although tax- ing corporations out of Canada, would yet guarantee work for all, possibly comes under the heading of "unscrupulous pro- motion techniques and mislead- ing advertising"'--against which thc NDP promises to protect Canadians. Such inconsistencies are per- haps inevitable in the growing pains of a new political move- meut; but they call for some convincing explanation. It is in the field of world af- fairs that the NDP, taking over the mantle of the old CCF, out- lines its best points. Here it talks of "the emerging world community", and spells out plans, in line with Canada's of- ten tri-partisan PC-Liberal-CCF foreign policy, aimed at the achievement of world peace and universal prosperity which all Canadians crave. Squid Jigging Money Maker BURIN, Nfld. (CP) -- Squid jigging in Newfoundland is more than a schoolboy's means of making a dollar. During a three-month season ending in October some men earn as much as $1,000. Squid, soft-bodied creatures with long, slender feelers, are used as bait for catching cod. Most squid found off Newfound- land shores are between six and 14 inches long. Unlike most fishing, squid jigging is relatively safe. Most are taken in sheltered harbors and coves from a dory or smaller boat. A few feet of line with lead weights and a few jiggers, or hooks, are all the equipment needed, The squid season being rela- tively short, men and boys fish hard. Sometimes they earn as much as $25 in a few hours. But catches vary. The 1960 season was consid- ered a successful one, especially on the eastern and southern coasts. Squid brought 1% cents a pound delivered to bait depots. In 1958 a total of 1,600,000 pounds was caught, the lowest yield in recent years.
