She Oshawa Zines Published by Canadian, Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Big British Campaign To Boost Productivity With a Productivity Council already in operation here, Canadians will watch with interest the progress of a campaign in Britain -- it's called "National Pro- ductivity Year" -- aimed at increasing efficiency and productivity and lowering costs in every industry in that country. Prince Philip is its patron, and it will start in November of this year. The British campaign has the backing of all three political parties, of employ- ers and professional organizations, the trade unions, research bodies, univer- sities and colleges. It has been planned by: the British Productivity Council, whose chairman, in announcing it, said: "Except for the war years, this will be the biggest co-operative effort ever made by British industry. British productivity is levelling off. We want that process to be reversed. Failure would mean that wages will not rise and shareholders will not receive decent dividends." The objectives set for National Pro- ductivity Year are: development of new ideas for the push-button age; discovery and teaching of ways to produce more; Question Of Laws exist to protect the innocent and to punish the wicked who take advantage of them. Recently there has been throughout Ontario a spate of moral offences in- volving girls in their early teens. The sexual promiscuity of some of these girls, revealed in evidence, must have dis- turbed the comfortable illusions of many respectable people, though perhaps they did not raise an eyebrow of morality officers'who are aware of these modern conditions, the Hamilton Spectator com- ments. The girls do not always come from poverty - stricken homes. They come chiefly from homes that are poor in another sense -- where there is no dis- cipline, where there is parental indiffer- ence about how late a young daughter comes in off the streets and what she has been doing when she was there. Many of these girls are young tramps with money in their pockets, the Spec- tator charges. They consort with male tramps with cars who are perhaps only fuller use of expensive machines to make them pay for their keep; exchange of information between industrial con- cerns on improvement of methods and procedures. In welcoming the project, Prince Philip said: "No amount of economic juggling can alter the fact that in the long run our society depends upon the efficiency of our industries and upon our national productivity. In order to main- tain, let alone improve, our standard of living, we have got to export our manu- factured goods in the face of very tough competition from other highly industrial- ized and industrious countries. We can only compete with success if we can maintain a high standard of efficiency and productivity. The only alternative is lower wages and salaries and no one in his senses wants that to happen. The whole nation stands to gain from the success of this venture, particularly if it can inspire a spirit of co-operation and joint endeavor which alone can help this country to overcome the challenge of the future." Innocence slightly older than themselves, but who are within reach of the law if they com- mit an offence against these girls, The law was enacted to protect the good, the young and the innocent. That is as it should be. But in these cases, it is often hard to decide, except in a technical sense, who is innocent and who takes advantage of innocence. When a girl of tender age is involved in a case of this kind, not only should the law compel her parents to appear in court, but they should be submitted to keen cross-examination on the home background they have created. The Spectator continues: "Too often in cases involving young delinquents parents do not appear in court -- 'I would miss a day's work,' is a common excuse. It is high time that it was made mandatory for them to ap- pear, and high time too that such parents were put on probation for offences come mitted by their young children and di- rectly attribute to their indifference and neglect." Vital Job For Council Commissions, committees and councils are often vague in their objectives and uncertain about their decisions. Their success is not only having their purposes clear, it is largely in the calibre of the men and women who comprise them. The Windsor Star suggests that this may be said of the new economic council being established by the Ontario Gov- ernment. "Its over all responsibility will be to plan the egonomic and industrial future of this province. That is a huge. but essential task. "It's appointment is recognition that there is planning to be done; that On- tario cannot go ahead in these com- petitive times by hit-and-miss procedures, It would be nice to think that private industry will do it on its own, without 'any guidance. But experience, especially of the past few years, suggests this makes for uneven, and even lop-sided, progress.

Other Editors' Views THE CUBAN SHIFT (Chicago Daily News) In three years since he came to power, Fidel Castro has transformed Cuba completely. Fully 80 per cent of Cuba's foreign trade has swung to the Soviet bloc. Communist military aid worth up to $100,000,000 has given Cuba the second largest army in the hemisphere, 10 times the size of ex- Dictator Batista's army. Technicians from Russia and Czechoslovakia train Cubans in the use of new weapons and equipment, and cubans go to Iron Cur- tain countries for study.

MOLNER, MD "Dear Dr. Molner: What is the difference between diverti- culosis and diverticulitis? Can they be cured by medication or is surgery required? Mrs. B. C. N." Diverticulosis is a small pocket, or out - pouching, that occurs in the lower bowel. This is common. Reliable es- timates indicate that at least a quarter of us have or will have one or more such pouches. But the majority of that 25 per cent never will know they have diverticulosis, nor have any reason to care. Howeyer, if one of these pouched areas becomes in- fected, the condition is called "diverticulitis." The "itis'" end- ing indicates. an inflammatory disease as "'bronchitis" is in- flammation of the bronci, or, to take a clearer case, as "ap- pendicitis" is an inflamed ap- pendix. If inflammation occurs, con- REPORT FROM U.K. Cost Of Salmon Fishing Boosted By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A new salmon fishing season is about to start in England and Scotland, and the keen competition which is being seen to secure fishing rights on some of the finest salmon streams supports the idea that this must be one of the most expensive of all sports. Fabulous prices are be- ing offered for the right to fish for salmon and sea trout on short stretches of some of these streams. One of the stretches of fish- ing water which is arousing considerable interest is located on the River Lune, near Lan- caster. In recent years the Lancashire River Board and the Lune and Myre Fishery Asso- ciation have been paying. great attention to stocking these wa- ters with fish. During the 1961 season, records show, 108 sal- mon and 200 sea trout were "grassed" as the fishermen's expression goes, on this stretch of river. MAY BE RECORD The stretch of the Lune on which the fishing rights are now for sale is known as the Claughton salmon and trout fishing preserve. It is just seven miles from the tidal limit of the estuary of the riv- er, and less than haif a mile from the village of Hornby. The stretch is about 1990 yards long, on the left bank of the river. It is famous for the fact that in 1938 it produced the largest salmon ever caught in the river, weighing 48 pounds. To give some idea of the price that may be secured, it is noted that fishing rights on about the same length of wa- ter, with a recorded catch of eight salmon, were sold for $58,000 earlier this year. It is expected that the water which is now being offered may bring even more, and create a record price for the area. EXCELLENT SPORT The annual stocking policy carried on has ensured first- class. sport to salmon fisher- men for many years to come: In 1960, two million salmon ova and 500,000 sea trout ova were put into the head waters of the stream. It is no uncom- mon thing for salmon in the 25-pound to 30-pound range to be taken from these waters. And all along the stretch for ' gs. they can be fished from the bank. these fishing rights are being digposed of by Lt.-Col. A. G. C. River Langford, and they will be auc- tioned on February 24 unless a private acceptable offer is made in advance. OTHER RIGHTS Fishing rights in the West Country are also in the mar- ket. Offers in excess of $30,000 are being considered for the rights on a mile and a half of salmon and sea trout water on the River Dart. The stretch is immediately above the Dart Bridge, half a mile from Buck- fastleigh. In 1961, 10 fish were caught there, the best. weight being 19% pounds and the aver- age 14 pounds. These prices, however, are small compared to the sums paid for fishing rights on Scot- tish rivers. A few years ago, Lord Cowdray paid over $100,- 000 for the fishing rights on a stretch of the river Dee, near Banchory, in Aberdeenshire, a little more than a mile long. And that makes the salmon caught in these waters a some- 'what expensive luxury when one figures out the cost per pound of the fishing rights, plus wages for the ghillies and the other incidental expenses. servative treatment tsually calms diverticulitis down--keep- ing bowel action regular, avoid- ing seedy or coarse foods. Often there is only a single attack, although it is possible, of course,.for the trouble to re- cur. The pouch is there; it may become irritated and inflamed again, but often it doesn't. Complications can make sur- gery mandatory but this doesn't happen often. Generally very simple care is all that is re- quired. Sometimes antibiotics are used to combat the acute inflammation. "Dear Dr. Molner: I plan to marry a man with diabetes. Is there a possibility of my hav- ing children who are not normal or who are likely to have dia- betes also? I've heard so many stories I don't know what is true. Wondering" As long as your own family is free of diabetes, the risk of defects in the children is small. The tendency towards diabetes is dilute' when your fmily does i ave it. You might have a child who could be a "'carrier'--that is, one who could pass the tend- ency for the disease on to a subsequent generation. Or you might have a child who, later in life, might develop the dis- ease. This does NOT mean early in childhood. In short, I see no reason for you to be concerned about mar- riage. Of course, if you had diabetes, or there was a strong family history of it on your side, then my answer would be entirely different. Having it (or a history of it) on BOTH sides is dangerous. "Dear Dr. Molner: I have a small opening in my neck which is hardly noticeable but a clear matter comes out of it. I've had this as long as I can re- member and I'm 19 now. It doesn't bother me but it is a plain nuisance. I would like your opinion of having it taken care of. A, F. G." It sounds like what we call a "branchial fistula." It is a quirk of human development. A gill-like opening in the develop- ing embryo didn't happen to close properly, leaving a pas- sageway from the outside skin to the pharynx, or throat. It's nice that this has caused no serious trouble in 19 years. It might, or might not, con- tinue harmlessly from several or for many more years. But infection is always possi- ble in such a condition. Re- moval and closure of this small fault can be done surgically. My vote is that you discuss such a procedure with your physician. BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO W. A. Coad's rink won the Sykes Memorial trophy at the Oshawa Curling Club annual bonspiel. Ratepayers of the village of Westmount elected a committee of C. T. Barnes and John Ross to approach the city council with a view to annexation. James Branton, one of Osh- awa's oldesi residents, passed away in his 93rd year. Oshawa Collegiate reached the semi-finals in the inter-scholas- tic hockey league by defeating Bowmanville 6 to 2. T. B. Mitchell was. elected chairman of the Oshawa Board of Education for 1927. Knox Presbyterian Church purchased a site on the old Wellingt»» nroperty between Colborne and Brock streets on Simcoe street north for a pro- posed new church. ' At a meeting of the directors of the Oshawa Golf Club Major E. C. Hodgins was elected president; H. E. Smith, vice- president; F. G. Carswell sec- retary and T. Harold Coppin treasurer. St. Andrew's Church officials planned a new Sunday School building. and extensive repairs and alterations to the church at an estimated cost of $50,000. A shortage of skilled labor in the metal trades existed in Oshawa, according to C. J. Wilcox, local superintendent of the Employment Bureau. Dr. G. E. Reaman, superin- tendent of Bowmanville Boys' Industrial School, gave an in- teresting talk on his work at the YMCA luncheon here. Russell Nesbitt of the Colle- giate Cadet Corps won the honor of being the best marksman of the Dominion Rifle Association senior competition held by the local Corps. H. L. Harding was elected president of the Oshawa Poultry and Pet Stock Association for 1927 to succeed R. A. Wadge. J. P. Mangan was named president of the newly formed Oshawa Liberal Club. Mayor R. D. Preston called a special meeting of the city council to protest against in- creases in Oshawa's electric rates. . OTTAWA REPORT Pearson's Speech Found Wanting By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The national coun- cil of the Liberal party met to plan its election, campaign in Ottawa's Chateau Laurier Hotel last week. It was one of the most disap- pointing and disappointed polit- ical rallies neld here since the war. Four hundred delegates registered but by the final day they had run out of steam and fewer than 50 listiess Liberals gathered in the convention hall. At the clusing meeting, they chanted harmoniously: '"'We are little black sheep whe have gone astray, baa, baa, baa; gentle- men scholars out on a spree, doomed from here to eternity, baa, baa, baa." . Then they heard the banner speech by their leader, Hor. Lester Pear- son. And, alas fo. thé gentle- men scholars who had advised him in its composition, so did many Cana'iians sitting in front of their idiot boxes. For, of ali the speechés which should have persuaded voters into a supporting mood, this was the most "far out" LACKS MAJOR ISSUES Instead vf outiining a Liberal platform, instead of explaining what a Liberal government would attempt to achieve if elected, that speech merely taunted the present government in unsubstantiatec generalities and, in even less substantial generalities, asserted that "Lib- erals are the party of economic progress." That speech, broadcast from coast to cvast, was not good enough for a country which is today poisec dangerously at the top of a very slippery and too little mentioned siope; poised there not because of govern- nent actions this year or last, but because of long-term world- wide developmenis beyond Can- ada's controi, and against which government precautions should QUEEN'S PARK Algonquin Park Gets Great Boss TORONTO -- Oh this is ter- rible! The great oversight of the year. Only now do we record that Algonquin Park has a new su- perintendent. And what a superintendent. Yorkie is in control. Urho W. Fiskar, flyer extra- ordinary and personality un- parallelled, is the new boss. Some weeks ago Lands and Forests Minister Spooner an- nounced with justifiable pride and a twinkle in his eye that Mr. superintendent. When next you go to the park look for a beaming face. If it's big and black it's a bear so run. It is isn't it's probably Yorkie. Go up and shake hands and meet the man. You will come away cheerful after having talked to one of the happiest men in the world, or at least in all Ontario. PILOT FOR FROST Yorkie has been around here nearly 25 years. He has been one of the de- partment's top pilots. But be- yond that he has been a sort of general utility man. When there was a dignitary around he usually was the man who flew him. When Mr. Frost was premier he was a bit fussy about fly- ing. He was always happy with Yorkie as a pilot. And practically everybody else has just been happy about Yorkie. There have been few men in the government service with the wide popularity he has. TODAY IN HISTORY By The Canadian Press FEB. 9, 1962 . :.

But he was a devoted public servant and contributed much over the years. To the writer he was a friend. have been planned five, 10 and even 15 years ago. "The election will be fought * on the record of the govern- _ ment," deciared Mr. Pearson. But that record shows that more new jobs have been cre- ated in Canada during the last four years than in any previ- ous peacetime four-year period in our history; and that last year Canadians evrned more than ever before Those are solid praiseworthy achieve- ments by the Diefenbaker gov~ ernment, The only specific proposal made by M1. Pearson was that "a new Liberal government will start a comprehensive system of health care." Yet the former Libera] prime minister, W. L, Mackenzie King, promised Ca- nadians exavtly that at a Lib- eral rally in Ottawa no less than 43 years ago. "Get Canada moving," urged Mr. Pearson. But he still ig- nores urgent factors which the Liberals failed to notice, or at least to act upon, between 1945 and 1957. HAD PRESTIGE Canada, undamaged by war and with an economy artificially enriched by the demands of our allies, enjoyed a post-war pres- tige and power which could only be temporary--unless we built up our strength by mas- sive post - war immigration. This the Wiberais failed to do; 60 now the war-ravaged "mid- dle powers" have rebuilt them- selves, and rcsumcd their status superior to us. Canada increasingly lived be- yond her means in the post-war years. Now we have to repay the capital, plus interest, for those years "out on a spree." But the Diefenbaker govern- ment has taken steps to reverse that nationa) impoverishment. Machines are progressively replacing man 1n industrial pro- duction. Ever since the war, Liberal governments failed to prepare against this obvious technological crisis of unem- ployment But the Diefenbaker government has launched a huge vocational training pro- gram to correct this. The terms of trade have been swinging against raw materials yet the Liberals refused to heed the repeated demands of the Conservative opposition that Canadian row materials should increasingly be processed in Canada by Canadians The Conservatives have elim- inated the ruinous premium from our dollar. But the Lib- erals permitied dollar crises, so that one winter we even could not afford to import fresh salt. The Libera! policy? "Let them eat turnips." proclaimed the Liberal finance minister. Study Children's Teeth For Strontium Effects ST. LOUIS (AP)--From out of the mouths of children is coming information about one of the most hazardous effects of the atomic bomb: Strontium- 80. In St. Louis, children give their baby teeth to a scientific group which is studying Stron- tium-90, mainly trying to deter- mine how much of it people are getting. Instead of a nickel or a dime for "the good fairy," a child gets"a button which proclaims: "TI gave a tooth to science." The group, called the Com- mittee on Nuclear Information, has been collecting baby teeth for more than two years. FALLS SLOWLY Radioactive fallout, which in- cludes strontium-90, occurs im- mediately after a nuclear ex- plosion and keeps coming down for about three years. The debris from the blast is borne on high winds and even- tually sifts to earth. The min- ute particles settle on the vere- tables we eat. They are also passed on to us in meat ad milk. Strontium-90 is similar to cal- GALLUP POLL Majority Of Canadians Satisfied With Houses By The Canadian Institute Of Public Opinion A seven-nation*survey reveals that, on balance, Canadians are happier about their housing than men and women elsewhere. On- ly Norwegians match Canadians in equalling the three in four citizens who feel that their homes are satisfactory. In Nor- way, however, almost twice the proportion of citizens, say they "wish to get out tomorrow if possible" as are in this unhappy frame of mind across our prov- inces. Among those men and women who belong to the professional groups, executives or managers, more than eight in ten are quite satsified with their homes and do not wish to move. The pro- portion is even higher among those in sales or "white collar' jobs. Among Labor groups and Farmers there is least satisfac- tion with housing. as about one in four in each segment report their housing not to their liking. To find out how the average person feels about his home, interviewers for the World Gall- up Poll Organization showed a card to those men and women selected for questioning in each country asked: "Which of these three state- ments comes closest to deserib- ing how you feel about your housing?" The following columns com- pare how people of seven coun- tries replied. Unsatisfactory No Intention And Wish To Get Unsatisfactory Can't 76% 5 Canada Norway Great Britain ..

CNI, composed of scientists, physicians, teachers and citi- zens interested in the effects of radiation, is not particularly concerned with teeth. But is worried about radiation effects on human bones. Bad teeth can be removed easily. Bones can't. Dr. Louise Reiss, an internist, was director of the\baby tooth survey in its infancy. She points out that baby teeth, unlike bones, can be ac- quired in large enough numbers for a significant study. Through analyses .of the teeth scientists can learn how much strontium. 90 gets into bones. STARTED IN HURRY CNI had to begin work on the project in a hurry and without the usual slow, thorough prepa- ration normal in a_ scientific study because it needed teeth which were formed before there was any significant amount of strontium-90 on earth. Baby teeth fall out between the ages of five and 13. Time was running out if the group was to get a large sample of pre-radiation teeth for compari- son with teeth formed after strontium-90 levels increased. First, CNI appealed to the dental school deans of both Washington and St. Louis uni- versities. Tooth collection programs were set up in schools, librar- ies, dentists' offices, even drug- stores. The teeth started coming in, first in a trickle and then in a steady stream. CNI now gets about 750 a week, an amount it considers sufficient. A grant of nearly $200,000 to the Washington University school of dentistry last year got the survey. out of the Reiss home and into an honest - to- goodness laboratory. Yolunteer women's organiza- tions, teachers and nurses made themselves available for work. The tooth collection program is running smoothly now. It is just beginning to pay off in val- uable information about Stron- tium-90 although its most im- portant work is yet to be done, say the people who initiated it, However one widely - known scientist, Dr. Barry Commoner of Washington, University, said it is already significant be- cause it is "the first data in the world on Strontium-90 levels in the bones of a mass sampling of humans." So far more than 70,000 teeth have been collected. The scientists haven't yet come up with a concrete an- swer as to how much Strontium- 90 a particular child can absorb without getting leukemia or bone cancer, if at all. But right now, said Dr. Com- moner, "probably the most im- portant result of the survey was it proved that what looked to be an impractical method to get a valid picture of how much Strontium - 90 can be passed on to the bones turned out to be very practical and successful."
