| She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1961 -- PAGE 6 University Enrolment Increases Measured Ten years from now, Canada's univer- sity enrolment will be almost three times as large as the present figure, according to the Bank of Montreal's November Business Review, just issued. The fore- cast is based on a recent report of the Canadian Universities Foundation which foresees a full-time university enrolment of 311,600 1970-71, representing 12.4 per cent of the population in the 18-24 age group. The figures compare with only 26,319 full-time students, or 2.5 per cent of the same age group in 1940-41 and with 114,000 'students, or 6.6 per cent in 1960-61. ; As for teachers and research personnel, last year's figure of 9,000 represented an increase of about 50 per cent in five years. Hence, if the present proportion of one teacher to 13 students is maintained, some 25,000 teachers will be needed for the '70-71 university enrolment, the Universities Foundation report said. In the matter of university costs, the implications of the decade ahead are "impressive and challenging." In 1950-51, total operating costs were about $48 million, or some $700 per student; by '60-61, the figures were $177 million and $1,550 respectively; and by '65-66, costs may have risen to $420 million and $2,300 respectively, the report indicates, The projection does not extend beyond '66. Furthermore, in the next years, pre- liminary capital expenditure forecasts run to at least $750 million, All of these figures have important economic implications, the bank points out, constituting significant demands for labor, material, equipment and supplies. In addition, "the students themselves will constitute an expending and iden- tifiable market for much things as books, certain types of clothing, local accom- modation and services. More important in the longer run will be the influence which the increasing flow of graduates will have on the development 'of Can- ada in the coming years." Insurance And People When the average person comes to buy insurance -- on his life, his house, his car; as a safeguard against possible illness or. accident; to provide for 1s children's education or to save for his own. retirement -- he doesn't use as a yard-stick what someone else is doing. The individual has to weigh what he personally needs against what he per- sonally can afford. If he doesn't, he can end up in trouble. Strangely, while that is perfectly obvious to the individual when he is acting on his own, it is much less obvious when he acts with his fel- lows as a member of the public -- that is, when he permits a government to act for him. That was one of the points made in a recent talk to the Canadian Pension Conference by Reinhard Hohaus, a New York Insurance expert and chief actuary of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Governments, Mr. Hohaus, should take into account the fact that social welfare plans that work well in one country may be unsuitable for another; and governments should be farsighted enough to make sure that the cost of social insurance programs they start does not exceed the ability of the public to pay for them. said Regarding government pensions for the aged, Mr. Hohaus made the perti- nent observation that the financial con- dition of the aged changes, sometimes from generation to generation, because of social and economic conditions that obtained in their youth. Those persons now in their seventies and eighties, he pointed out, went through a depression late in their working life and had little to save; then they went through a period of inflation that eroded what little savings they had, In contrast, many per- sons now approaching retirement age have spent their late productive years in a period of prosperity, "We in the field of private insurance," said Mr. Hohaus, "have learned that it is highly undesirable, from the view- point of the company no less than the insured, to expand insurance programs for individuals beyond their ability to afford them." Because the individual realizes that he can end up insurance poor, he takes into account changing conditions, measures his present and future ability to pay, and contracts for a proposition that suits his own and not someone else's circumstances. He must realize that government, too, can make him insurance poor. Campaign For Safety Accident statistics sometimes seem to present a picture of chilling inevitability, Year by year there is little variation in overall traffic fatalities. The approxi- mate total of tragedies is painfully pre- Alictable. Many people, in fact, regard traffic accidents as a social disease that cannot he prevented or cured -- "like cancer". But cancer nowadays is far from hope- less. Early treatment brings many per- manent cures. Although medical science does not claim that a "breakthrough" vic- tory is yet in sight, progress is continuous. Censtant research and experiment have shown that cancer can always be fought, and often defeated. Similarly, constant efforts reduce the scourge of traffic accidents year by year. The.improvement is slow -- sometimes imperceptible over a short period.

One of the proved methods of acci- dent-prevention specialists to bring about long term improvements, is to call from time to time for short term efforts. An intensive safety campaign can reduce accidents over a set period. More im- it can impress permanently of the public the fact that are not inevitable; that safety achieved through individual portantly, on some accidents CAN be effort. The Ontario Safety League asks for full support for the next of these short- effort-long-effect campaigns, Safe Driving Week, December 1-7. This is a national campaign, and the cooperation of all Canadians has been called for by the Governor General, and the Prime Minister. The requirements are simple. All drivers and all pedestrians are asked to make special efforts during the first seven days of December to keep the streets and highways safe. This can be done by trying not only to avoid acci- dents, but to avoid the possibility of accidents. By keeping an extra margin of safety -- in other words, by using a little more caution than really seems necessary. A successful campaign will save lives during the first seven days of December, And it would be an influence for traffic safety during the next 51 weeks, Success or failure is entirely in the hands of individual Canadians, Bible Thought Follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. -- III.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Close to 1,000 Britishers this year gave up their summer holidays, wield- ing picks and shovels and do- ing manual labor far from their homes in order to help people in-other countries who have no homes. A report of a remark- able season's effort has just been issued by an organization known as the International Service Department. Through its office in London, this report states, over 950 volunteer work ers spent their holidays this summer shovelling earth and making brick to build houses for refugees in countries like Austria and Germany, where there is still a struggle to catch up with the refugee problem. When the need and a plan to help meet it was made known, largely through the universities and service organizations, the response was greater than could be accepted. Requests came in from people in all walks of life to be sent abroad to help. There were 2,000 more volunteers than could be accepted. MOSTLY STUDENTS Some sixty. per cent of these volunteers were students from the universities of the country The others included business men, bankers, publishers, schoolmasters and others will- ing to give up their holidays to help with the practical aspects of providing housing for refu- gees. General secretary of the In- ternational Service Department is Hans Peter Muller. Accord- ing to him, the organization is aiming to broaden its scope far beyond its present activities. "Our aim," he said, "is eventually to see a permanent international force of volunteers prepared to tackle tasks of reconstruction anywhere in the world. Already as many as 1,000 zee families have been re- habilitated in newly built homes in Germany and Austria. This past summer a start was made on a project in Northern Greece. And a three-man party of skilled university graduates is working on a campaign to eliminate illiteracy in Bolivia. "We hope to go as far afield as Hong Kong and the Orient. Our work is being done in sup- port of the United Nations Or- ganization, to improve inter- national relations through prac- tical action." Peter Assinder, publisher and broadcaster, one of the notable personalities in the organiza- tion, tells of his own experiences, PAY THEIR OWN WAY 'I worked for the ISD in a camp at Haid, near Linz in Austria. There were several thousand refugees there. As well as building large blocks of apartments in which to house them, we also organized shows for the very old and parties for the children. But it is very hard work. We try to recruit the people who are going for the right reasons. The whole thing costs about $56 because all the volunteers have to pay their own way. "But we have received won- derful cooperation and. the spirit of the work is made much more pleasant as there is no feeling that we are taking the bread out of the mouths of the building people there." The one great problem of the International Service Depart- ment is the limitation of funds to do its work on a larger scale. This year, however, it has been able to draw on funds raised from the World Refugee Year collections, but the extent to which this will be possible in future years is uncertain. QUEEN'S PARK Legislature Sees Changed Presence By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- A new govern- ment--and new personalities. The same old faces perhaps-- but different men acting in dif- ferent ways. With Premier Robarts at the helm some of his supporters will turn out to be quite different men than in the past. When Mr. Frost led the house he LED. There was hardly a man on the PC side who really wasn't scared stiff of him And this, of course, showed. There was a blanket over the PC benches. INSIDE YOU Grind And Relax To Cut Down Gas By BURTON H. FERN, MD He knew he shouldn't have eaten cabbage! It always left So did onions, beans. Most gas problems begin when you gulp down air--eat- ing on the run, sipping bubbly pop and savoring fluffy me- ringues. When faulty dentures slide around, air glides down also For relief, you down extra air or fizzing bicarbonate, hop- ing to burp like a baby. Often, more goes down than comes up! As stomach acid and food- digesting chemicals thin out over the years, undigested starch and protein pass into the lower tract. Here, millions of nibbling bacteria -manufac- ture new gas and colicky cramps. TRAPPED GAS Prescriptions for intestine- relaxing drugs open a_ super- highway down which gas can rush. Activated charcoal shrinks gas bubbies. High colonics and alllsorts of intestinal rinses try to wash out trapped gas. But nothing could cure gur- gling, rumbling cramps! Trap- ped in thousands of tiny bub- bloated. and him radishes ~ ¥. bles, intestinal gas couldn't rush anywhere--not until ex- perts found a special defoam- ing chemical to unlock these bubbly traps. With today's sugar-coated de- foaming tables, bubbles and troubles evaporate. Your doc- tor may choose Mylicon (R) or Phazyme (R) with extra food- digesting chemicals as well. RELAX WHILE EATING To prevent gas, grind each bite between powerful molars. Relax while you eat. Let des- sert settle before facing TV's 1930 mobsters. Even G. men get ulcers! Mild sedative prescriptions calm nervous air-swallowing. No smoking or chewing before meals, You don't want a stom- ach full of air ready to foam up at the first bite. WATCH FOR CAUSE Despite the well-earned, repu- tation of onions, cabbage and beans, almost any food 'can be a gasser. You'll have to track down common offenders in your own case. Milk? Choco- late? Or possibly grapefruit? There's more than meets the eye in that old saying about one man's meat being another man's poison! His supporters will probably not be exactly free-wheeling un- der Mr. Robarts--he gives the impression that party discipline will be important to him. But he won't domina'e as Mr. Frost did. One reason for this, of course, is his temperament. He is inclined to at least ap- pear quite a bit easier than the former premier, and as a man who will be more inclined to let his colleagues do their own ball- even more significant, however, is the fact that he does not have the veteran status of Mr. Frost. There were few men in his cabinet who had gone through the mill with the former pre- mier. As a result he had a status somewhat resembling that of a school-master with most of his members. Mr. Robarts has come up through the ranks with his cab- inet. A number of them out-date him. And with the ethers he has been on a basis of comradeship and equality. They will feel much more free with him. And their true per- sonalities will tend to come out. AWE LOST The same will apply with the opposition, and for much the same reasons. Mr. Frost's stature even had OTTAWA REPORT" Pension Could Be Senate Solution By PATRICK NICHOLSON It sometimes seems on Par- Hiament Hill that old senators never die--but they certainly fade away. Our present Senate contains so many old men that the empty seats of the ailing present a con- stant rebuke to our constitu- tional provision that "tA senator shall hold his place in the Sen- ate for life." One of the privileges of the modern welfare state is that our citizens shall be entitled to en- joy leisure in their declining years. The state provides a uni- BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Oshawa Kinsmen raised over $4,000 in the "Milk for Britain" campaign. The OCVI Old Boys' Associa- tion held its semi-annual meet- ing in the library of the school with the following officers elect- ed for the ensuing year: J. Lockwood, M } frey Andrews, Ransom Charles Rundle, James Warnica and James Lang. The Union Rod and Gun Club climaxed the fishing season with the awarding of trophies at the entertainment night. Ott Hamil- ton was awarded the C. H. Mil- lard trophy and Richard Court- ney was presented with the club trophy. Fifty wartime houses being erected on a site south of Fit- tings Ltd., were nearing com- pletion, Sam Collis was elected presi- dent of the Oshawa Kinsmen Club for the~year_ 1942, suc- ceeding Clarence L. Cox. Veteran members of the 116th Battalion of the war 1914-18 held their annual reunion at the King Edward Hotel, Toronto. Harry M. Cooke, charter member of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, was tendered a farewell dinner by the local Kiwanians, before his departure for King- ston. In the War Savings -- War Weapons Campaign, Oshawa and East Whitby Township citi- zens passed the goal when almost $90,000 had been reach- ed at the end of the first month. A total of $84,450 had been pledged monthly. Oshawa Rotary Club received a-message from Hon. Vincent Massey, High Commissioner for Canada, acknowledging a gener- ous donation of funds sent to the Victoria League Club in London, England. The hostel had accommodated 90,000 men, 60,000 of these being Canadians. A new Rotary Club was or- ganized for Pickering with Jo- seph Banigan appointed presi- dent and Ross Irwin, secretary. The third annual birthday tea of the Viscount Greenwood Chapter IODE in Whitby was fittingly celebrated. The regent, Mrs. D. B. Coleman, welcomed the guests. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "Courtesy is contagious' -- provided the person you are courteous to doesn't consider it an indication of weakness and try to push you around. Note to the teen-ager who is challenged by his companion to do something reckless: It is bet- ter to be chicken than a dead duek. It's a great pity that dancing has been choreographed almost to death its influence on them--though probably more on the Liberals than on the CCF. CCF leader Donald never hesi- tated to swing freely at Mr. Frost and .probably held back very little because of the ex- premier's "presence'. Most of the Liberals, however, seemed to be affected by '"'dig- nity' when they were talking about the then leader of the gov- ernment and didn't exactly say what they felt--or not all of it. Now that there is a new pre- mier in addition to his new party, NDP leader MacDonald will probably have an added bit of energy in his swings. 'And the Liberals, used to fac- ing Mr. Robarts first as a pri- vate member and then as a de- partmental minister, should lose any tendency to be overawed. WHY PAY MORE?

ONTARIO versal old age pension for men from the age of 70 years; the state orders that judges shall re- lire at the age of 75, that civil Servants shall take their leisure at 65, and that generals shall hang up their swords at 55. But our senators must serve a true "'life" sentence, PENSION LACKED No doubt many of them would gladly exercise their statutory privilege that "A senator may, by writing under his hand ad- dressed to the Governor-Gen- eral, resign his place in the Senate" j But we the people are less en- lightened as employers than we demand that our employers be. We do not provide a pension for our servants the senators, and they have no union to bargain collectively for this fringe bene- fit. Thus there are strong, often compulsive, economic grounds preventing most senators from retiring from their $10,000 - a- year appointment, even when they are so sick that they need assistance in taking their place ; in our upper chamber. For if a senator does not attend even on one day in two whole ses- sions, he becomes liable to dis- charge. There is much speculation on Parliament Hill now that the probable measure of Senate re- form in the coming session of Parliament will be the introduc- tion of compulsory retirement at 75 years of age. This will possibly be accompanied by the provision that Senators shall be entitled, as members of our lower chamber already are, to a parliamentary pension. It is widely agreed that no legislation should be made ret- roactive. Hence it is sometimes argued tnat the new retirement age should not be applied to senators who have already been appointed for life. But in fact , legislation imposing retirement : would be } "'retroactive"; ' the recent exact parallel of leg- : islation imposing retirement at | age 75 for judges of provincial , superior courts. 'prospective', not and there. was Alternatively, one hears here the suggestion that retirement should be made permissive for existing senators: at once for those past 75, and on attaining that age for those now younger. This .might be, according to comment here,, on the basis that they would all, within a short period after the enactment of the legislation, express their ir- revocable choice to accept re- tirement or serve for life. SENATE LONGEVITY Today there are five senators who have passed their 85th birthday: 18 have passed their 80th birthday; 83 have passed their 75th birthday. And 55, or more than half the Senate, will never see 70 candles on their birthday cake again. Eleven years ago, the then government leader in the Sen- ate, Wishart Robertson, hinted that compulsory retirement at 75 might be instituted. In what was described as the liveliest session seen in 23 years, A. K. Hugessen, one of our most able senators today, voiced his con- currence with the generally ex- pressed views that there should be an upper chamber of Parlia- ment, that it should continue to be appointive rather than dupli- cate our elective lower chamber but that all future appointments should be subject to automatic retirement at 75. This proposal was welcomed by Cairine Wilson, Canada's wonderful first woman senator, who declared her "whole- hearted support" of that resolu- tion. Thus there is a_ consider- able body of influential opinion within our Red Chamber itself that retirement should be en- forced at the ripe old age of 75 years.
