OTTAWA REPORT Immigration Act Changes Expected By PATRICK NICHOLSON department of citizenship and ern Europe, spark MR, KARUSHCHEV 1S TAKING A HOLIDAY IN UANVARY BY GOING HUNTING | She Oshawu Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Price Of Two Hospitals Or One Modern Bomber There is no prospect of peace being declared in 1962. There isn't even much hope of substantial progress towards disarmament. But the subject makes a pleasant discussion early in any new year. A factor all too often forgotten in talk about disarmament is a practical one: It would be impossible for any big or intermediate nation to rush headlong into disarmament without facing the certainty of considerable, and in man: cases, catastrophic economic dislocation. Modern armed forces are big and com- plex in size and equipment, but even bigger and more complex is the indus- trial structure that is required to sup- port and equip those forces. This factor alone makes it necessary for any plan of disarmament to provide for a fairly cautious progressive reduction in the numbers of men and weapons. , The two great power blocks, accord- ing to the Institute of Strategic Studies, have over 16 million men under arms between them, not counting reservists and militia. The Communist bloc has 7,944,300 and the Western bloc 8,195,- 253. The destructive power of their nuclear weapons alone amounts to the equivalent, of about 60 billion tons of TNT, or about 20 tons apiece for every man, woman and child on earth. These are massive figures, but even more difficult to grasp is the cost of all this armament. Yet it is in the realm of cost that the meaning of disarmament can be most apparent, This is how former President Eisenhower made the figures meaningful in a speech to newspapermen eight years.ago: "The cost of one modern bomber is this, It is a modern brick school in more than 30 cities, It is two electric power plants, each serving a town with a popu- lation of 60,000. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter plane with half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that would have housed more than 8000 people." Disarmament would mean big shifts in industry, but it would also mean the release of money for more vital and, in human terms, needed development. Needed, Million Jobs Over the next five years industry in Canada -- excluding agriculture -- is going to have to absorb approximately 1,000,000 workers. That is the current estimate if jobs are to be found for those now unemployed, for those farm workers expected to have to shift to the cities and towns, and for the young people who will be out hunting jobs for the first time. It is this third group, the product of the swift climb 'in the country's birth.rate from 1940 to 1947, that gives the problem of creating new employment opportunities an urgency equalled in no previous five-year period in our history. There are, of course, many elements that influence economic expansion, but one of the fundamentals is the availa- bility of capital, Every additional job has a price tag -- the cost of machines, the cost of developing a new product, the cost of building a new plant or of expanding or modernizing an old one. The price tag varies. Probably its high is in primary steel production, where the cost of creating one new job averages out to $21,700. For all manufacturing an educated guess is $15,000. Thus the pro- vision of an average of 200,000 new jobs a year presumes the annual invest- ment of capital by industry to a total of something between two and three billion dollars. For purposes of com- parison, in 1961 the capital expenditure -- excluding costs of maintenance and repair -- by the whole of Canada's manufacturing industry will not have been much more than one billion dollars, This is the. background to the now widely-held view that if we are to in- crease employment, we. must take a new look at our tax structure. In 1960, cor- poration earnings before taxes amounted to $3.1 billion, but the corporation tax took half, dividend payments one- quarter, and only about $800 million was left for maintenance and re-invest- ment in expansion. Of course, a good part of dividend payments would be re- invested, but the government's full half- share disappeared entirely. from the country's pool of investment capital. Instability And Death 'he memorial of Stalin's body from the mausoleum he shared with Lenin to less distinguished quarters in the Krem- lin wall is not unprecedented in history. It is, in fact, a relatively mild chastise- "ment of the dead. A British writer, Richard Haestier, in a book, "Dead Men Tell Tales," re- calle that in the turmoil preceding the French revolution the body of Henry IV, who had died nearly 180 years earlier, was torn to pieces by a mob. And in England, after the restoration, the body of Cromwell was disinterred and hanged at Tyburn. The head was then fixed on a pole at Westminster, and the rest of the body was buried under the gallows. Contemplating these posthumous punishments, Stalin should not lose all hope. In 1899, the British parliament erected a statue to Cromwell in West- The Oshawa Times T, L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

Nikita Khrushchev, however, has created yet another problem for himself, the Nation observes. The Lenin tomb is obviously adequate for double occu- pancy, Moscow is a crowded city, and the creed of communism deplores waste. Who will take Stalin's place beside Lenin? There is Karl Marx, of course, buried in London. The Macmillan gov- ernment might be willing to let him go, but he has been dead 78 years and even the Soviet morticians could not make him look presentable, Who, then, is of sufficient stature to lodge with Lenin? Who but Nikita him- self? Since he has just shown who is top dog, he may not be ready to receive this highest honor in the gift of the Soviet people. Besides, he can hardly avoid musing on the instability of death which, what with exhumations and tehabilitations, seems to match that of life, Suppose he did lie beside Lenin, would it be permanent? If some future Khrushchev decided to rake up the mis- deeds of his revered predecessor, would not the factory workers pass the same resolutions applauding his dispossession? When a man is laid to rest, he is en- titled to stay put, the Nation concludes, If Nikita buys a small plot in some modest rural cemetery, everyone will understand, Bible Thought Thou therefore which teachest an- other, teachest thou not thyself; -- Ro- mans 2:21, Our performance either verifies or nullifies our precepts. As it is written, There is none right- eous, no not one. -- Romans 3:10. ° Therefore we can hope only in the righteous acts of Another. A far-sighted and welcome change in Canada's immigra- tion policy is likely to be made before this new year grows much older; and it will win ap- plause for Canada from every country in the world. This change will be the final elimination of any barrier erected against a would-be im- migrant on the~basis of race, religion or hagrengpone 4 Henceforth no man will be -able to criticise Canada on WHAT LARGE TRACKS IT MAKES REPORT FROM U.K. Better Hospital Treatment Urged By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- If the minister of health, Enoch Powell, has his way, the 3,000 state hospitals in the United Kingdom are going to become kindlier places. In this he was backed up by some 500 hospital administrators, doc- tors and nurses who were taking part in a conference organized by the Royal College of nurses. The decision of the conference was entirely in favor of the pro- posals made by the minister for a more human touch in hospital care and treatment. It also reached a decision that patients should no longer be left in ig- norance of what is being done to them and for them. Mr. Powell laid down his new hospital code in an address to the conference. At the close, Raymond Parmenter of the Col- QUEEN'S PARK Important Year Faces Province By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--There is quite a year ahead It is a long time since Ontario has been on the door-step of such a critical period. We have to make our way in, what is almost a completely new world for us. In, first, the world of com- merce--where we have to meet new competitions and make our way into new markets. And then in a new moral and spiritual world -- a world in which society is becoming more and more of a unit, where all creeds and beliefs and m rs will entail keeping focus on the distance and not being too dis- tracted by the immediate dis- turbances of the day. The province is in a stage of rebuilding. And this means we will have to be looking to the foundations to see that they are being re- shaped strongly and wisely. There will be many trials dur- ing this coming period, but it also should have its very deep satisfactions. lege of Science and Technology, Manchester, said: "The minister has stuck his neck out. He has asked for ac- tion. Let us take it." POINTS URGED Among the points which were urged by Mr. Powell in his ad- dress were these: Prevent all avoidable noise in hospitals. Liberalize the visiting hours. Tell the patient what is being done for him or her. Improve the out-patient de- partment, the hospital's shop window. He reminded the doctors and nurses that the patient was an intelligent human being, not en- tirely uninterésted in his treat- ment and his future and what was being done for him. Com- munication with the patient raised profound professional im- plications, he said. Therefore he had asked his standing medical and nursing advisory commit- tees to investigate this matter to see if the patient can be bet- ter informed. VISITING HOURS The minister of health stress- ed particularly the need for more liberal visiting hours. He urged the conference that it was time to break away from tradi- tion. Mental hospitals had been giving a new lead on the liberal- ization of visiting. On the basis of their experience, he would in the near future be issuing guid- ance which he hoped that gen- eral hospitals would find valu- able. Much in this direction had been achieved in recent months, but the minister intends now to survey the visiting hours throughout the hospital service to see what was the actual practice. YOUR HEALTH are rubbing shoulders in the same community and where what was once "tolerance" is now custom. LIVE AGAIN In a sense Ontario has been one of the world's back-waters, We have lived in relative af- fluence and somewhat in a cas- tle of our own prosperity--for- tified against too much interrup- tion by the affairs of the out- side world But now we are very much part of the world at large. And this is going to require a lot of learnirg to live again. BIG CHANGE It is a time of life which cer- tainly will have shocks ahead. Even today it is obvious that we don't wel) appreciate just what we are into and getting into. We are still largely living in the past. Our unemployment is not too serious, so we are inclined to think that we will readjust as we always have in the past. The storm signals which are very obvious to some are larg- ely accepted as only. shower warnings. Our first big lesson, and our first big shock, will come during this year when we realize that we actually are at a stage of very major readjustment. NEW VIEW Keeping an eye on our affairs in this coming year will involve a different outlook. More than ever in the past it PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "The fact that men and mon- keys have the same number of bones prove they are closely re- lated," says an evolutionist who has the same number of eyes that a fish has. "Far more people kill them- selves through overeating than by drinking liquor," says a health authority. Sh-h-h-h, fel- low! Prohititionists might try to get eating outlawed. Doctor Answers Readers' Queries By JOSEPH G. MOLNER "Dear Dr. Molner: As a former. dietician, I was taught that saccharin, being a coal tar product, places an added burden on the kid- heys and might be harmful. Am I right?--M.H." Coal tars in excess may be detrimental -- but saccharin in smai) amounts cannot be harm- ful. In large amounts (relatively thet is, but still very small) it becomes bitter. This is an auto- mauc protection against getting too much. Saccharin is from 500 fo 1000 times as sweet as su- gar so users of it never take more than a tiny amount. "Dear Dr. Molner: Can anything be done for bowed legs? Mine are that way. Is there any exercise or treat- ment that you can recom- mend? The older I get, the more self-conscious I be- come. -- Mrs. J.H." J have noted the current skirt Jegth--in a purely professional way of course. I have also notce that, whatever the dress designers may "decree," women vary their skirt lengths quite a bit regardless of the current fashion. Very short skirts are worn sometimes by girls whose legs are less than perfect, and by my use of this term you can readily -see my charitable atti- tade at the moment. The fact is that some women with terrible legs wear the shortest dresses. This may not be a bad thing. Because if you will stand on any downtown corner for 20 min- utes and study the variety of leg shapes that go by, you will lose all your own self-conscious- ness There is no exercise or treat- ment that will help. bowed legs in an adult, but nobody's per- feet, and the possessor of bowed legs worries more than anyone who looks at them. "Dear Dr. Molner: I live in the Rocky Mountain area. Should I use iodized salt? --L.E." Ie consider iodized salt very much worthwhile in that area. "Dear Dr. Molner: My 11- year-old son has diabetes insipidus. I have been giv- ing him injections of pitui- tary extract but it is very difficult to obtain. Is there ery other medicine that oxy help him? -- Mrs. A sniff of pituitary powder is often effective. If this hasn't been tried, it may replace the injections. (Diabetes insipidus is NOT the same as diabetes mel- litus, which is the "usual" form of diabetes.) 'Dear Dr. Molner: Since my teens I have occasionally had a light discharge from my navel. I told my mother and she said, 'Bathe oftener end more carefully.' This led me to think it was an w'clean condition and I never mentioned it to an- Oher soul since. I am now 50 and it seems to be oc- curring with more regular- ity and profusion. I D.V." 'ihe most usual cause of this sort of trouble is the establish- ment of a fungus in the navel, or dust, or both. Some navels a.e deeper than others, and it makes a lot of difference. If a fungus is responsible, rinsing w'th hydrogen peroxide usually clears it up. 'there is a much rarer condi- tion, incomplete closing of the umbilical cord. If 'this is the situation, it is curable by sur- gery. It's too bad that the idea of "unclean" developed from your mother's comment decades ago--but that's the way life is. Some casual remark may cause yeas of worry or feeling of guilt when the remark was long ago forgotten by the person who made -it. grounds of racial discrimination. For many years a voice from the Prairies has been crying out against the prejudice which in fact, though not in law, rele- gated the peoples of many na- tions to second-class citizenship here. "T will abolish hyphenated Ca- nadianism," proclaimed that voice. Last year that same voice was instrumental in establish- ing the fact that racial preju- dice should henceforth be a bar- rier to membership in the Com- monwealth -- and South Africa accordingly ceased to belong to the British 'family of nations." WORLD BROTHERHOOD Now that same voice will make it clear that Canada, whilst throwing stones, does not live in a glass house. We will set an example to the world in prac- tising what we preach; we will show all races on the earth that at least here in Canada we be- lieve in the universal brother- hood of man, and admit immi- grants of all races to full citi- zenship. Henceforth the requirements for admission to Canada as an immigrant will be, quite simply and uniformly, a good charac- ter, good health, and the pos- session of a skill or trade or oc- cupation which will make it pos- sible for the immigrant to live in Canada. With unemployment seem- ingly becoming a permanent feature of our economy, as ma- chine replaces man, Canada of course cannot admit as immi- grants any who would be un- able to obtain work here with- out depriving a Canadian of his job. We no longer need farmers in unlimited numbers to open up the Prairies; we cannot wel- come unskilled workers of whom we already have too many. The days are passed when the red carpet can be laid out to welcome the men in sheepskin coats. Henceforth we need men and women with a sheepskin from some university or train- ing school. So an immigrant who pos- sesses the skills which Canada lacks and can use will be ad- mitted, whether he comes from the Ukraine or China, from equatorial Africa or temperate Scandinavia. OPEN NEW OFFICES This change will probably not be made by act of Parliament. There is no need to tamper with our present immigration laws; the departmental . regulations concerning immigration can be changed by order-in-council. While this step deserves our applause, it is to be hoped that the government's good inten- tions will not be handicapped by any attempt to give premature effect to the new policy.

Test Of Canadian TV's Strength Still To Come By DON HANRIGHT OTTAWA (CP) -- The Cana- dian radio and television sys- tem put down roots of change in 1961, Greatest impact on many TV viewers was the birth of second stations in eight large cities where the CBC or its private affiliates had held monopolies as far back as 1952, when TV first entered Canada. The priv- ate CTV network was created. Other large. cities may soon get an alternate Canadian TV service. The Board of Broad- cast Governors has said it is willing to accept new-station ap- plications for areas where chan- nels are available and the mar- ket is big enough. One of the first to benefit is expected to be Quebec City. Timed for this influx of sta- tions independent of the pub- licly owned CBC was the BBG's requirement, effective last April 1, for 45-per-cent Canadian ¢on- tent in TV programming, with British and other Common- wealth material counted as one-half Canadian. TOUGHER IN '62 It had little effect on TV fare. The CBC's 21 stations and the 13 French-language private sta- tions met the rule with ease, and some to spare. It was a tougher chore for the eight English - language second sta- tions, and even for the 66 priv- ately owned outlets affiliated with the CBC, but the rule was met, The stiffer test of program resources and ingenuity comes April 1 when the BBG require- ment rises to 55 per cent. Board chairman Dr Andrew Stewart said the governors would be meeting second - station oper- ators and the CTV network to explore ways the board can help them meet the rule and improve program quality. Meanwhile, the board re- ported it could find no practical way to impose a Canadian-con- tent demand on radio. It settled for annual reports from the country's 280 CBC and private AM (Amplitude Modulated) sta- tions on use of Canadian tal- ent, and suggested experimen- tal programming by private stations. Also aiding the standard-band AM stations were more flexible BBG rules on advertising, re- moving the hourly limits on commercials while at the same time calling for a slight over-all reduction in advertising con- tent. Watching from the sidelines, almost penniless. but confident, were Canada's 35 (Free quency Modulated) radio -sta- tions, operating in an interfer- ence-free field which the BBG and others see as holding the answer to frequency - crowding in the AM band. Relatively few Canadians have FM receivers--fewer than 15 per cent of the population, say, in Toronto. Thus FM fails to attract many advertisers. and the result is unprofitable FM operations. In most cases the stations are owned by AM op- erators, using their AM profits to write off I'M losses. In many cases FM stations broadcast the same programs as their parent AM stations Aiding promotion of FM were transport department regula- tions, published last fall, allow- ing for the first time in Can- ada stereophonic FM broadcast- ing--the system where an FM station can broadcast two sig- nals on the same channel for those with the receiver equip- ment to unscramble them. FM ENCOURAGED The BBG encouraged more applications in the FM field, But it warned that AM appli- cants will be expected to do seps arate FM programming that will be 'significantly differs ent" from the usual AM fare, and that FM must continue with fewer commercials than AM. One of the greatest publie rows in broadcasting history oc- curred when the CBC, celebrat- ing its 25th anniversary, f the battle of what corporation president J. Alphonse Ouimef called "network, network, who's got the network." It happenea when "second* station CFTO-TV Toronto outbid the CBC for TV rights to Eas-t ern:Football Conference games but was denied--by the CBC-- network access to privately owned CBC - affiliated stations in the easé. Cultural Value Noted In Preserving Gaelic By IAN DONALDSON ANTIGONISH, N.S. (CP)-- Maj. Calum I. N. MacLeod, whose first language was Gae- lic, says he's convinced there's as much chance of preserving the ancient tcngue in Nova Sco- tia as:in Scotland. Maj. Macleod, a_ professor whose kilt and brogue are fam- iliar on the campus of St. Fran- cis Xavier University here, ad- mits there is no commercial value in keeping the language alive 'but there's a cultural value without question." The broad -- shouldered writer- teacher, who had to go to school to learn English, is the only pro- fessor of Ce'tic studies at the university level in Canada. Most of his students at this Roman Catholic university come from Nova Scotia areas settled by the Scots--areas steeped in Scottish tradition and proud of their ties with their ancestors' homeland. But there are others in his classes A girl from Bos- ton, with a family tree barren of Scots, was one of the major's top students iast year. Maj. MacLeod lectures 12 hours a week in full - credit courses in Celtic history, Celtic literature and Gaelic. Some stu- dents, particularly those from Cape Breton's Inverness County, already speak the lan- guage. But even they use the course to bone up on the lan- guage--which contains particu- larly difficult grammar. The Celtic studies department was set up in 1958 and attracts about 50 students each term. Maj. MacLeod came to St. FX after nine years as Gaelic ad- viser to the Nova Scotia educa- tion department. "Many students have a real desire for this It is especially true of our people from Cape Breton who are beginning to realize that this is their own heritage. Our aim is to 'instill some respect for this heritage-- we're not trying to turn out a Gaelic army " He feels "tremendous strides" have been made in -preserving Gaelic culture in the Scottish areas of-Nova Scotia. GALLUP POLL Most Citizens Cannot _ Name Election Issue By The Canadian Institute Of Public Opinion With a federal! election thought to be only months away, most voters can't think of a main issue to be fought on the hustings. Well on to half the electorate -- 44 per cent -- can- not name any platform at all. Among those who do, plight of the jobless is far in the lead, but only about one in four vot- ers thinks this will be basis for election promises. Almost as many think the main issue will lie in terms of defence problems, of nuclear weapons, and the fear of war.
