She Oshawa Cimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JUNE 18, 1962 --- PAGE 6 New Government Should Face Taxation Reform There is little hope that the gov- ernment being elected today will give the nation anything more than token tax relief in the next two or three years. Too many promises of new spending have been made and too little interest has been shown in a fundamental problem of the Canadian economy -- the effect of taxation on our economic progress. The Conservatives and the Liberals have both promised full-scale studies of the Canadian tax structure, but their programs do not suggest that any changes will be made in that structure, and certainly do not pro- mote the idea that a lightening of the tax burden will be possible. The New Democratic program suggests only heavier taxation. The Social Credit fiscal policies are incomprehen- sible. At the moment the nation is fairly prosperous. More people are working than ever before, and they are earn- ing more than ever before. But of the earnings, more than 30 per cent will be drained off, in one way or Duke Learns The Duke of Edinburgh got an inkling the other day of something that has become increasingly evident to newspaper, magazines and TV writers in recent years. It is this: The only people who can be criticized without evoking some angry response these days are white, male, adult, non-union Anglo-Saxons. Even to suggest that the others may be some- thing less than perfect is to invite hysterical accusations of being anti- this or anti-that. The Duke made a fairly innocuous speech in New York as a kick-off for the World Wildlife Fund. He pointed out that some 250 species of animals were threatened with extinction, gen- erally because of the stupidity, thoughtlessness or ignorance of human beings; that in Africa, for example, 600 elephants are being slaughtered every year because game laws aren't enforced and men "want a new set of billiard balls; that African rhino- another, in federal, provincial and municipal taxation. In 1961, our Gross National Product, the total value of all goods and services produced in the country, was $38,800 million. The revenues collected by the three gove ernments amounted to $12,132,000. Thus the tax slice of the GNP was about 30 per cent. This year the slice will be bigger, largely because of increased municipal taxation. Next year, undoubtedly, it will be bigger still. There is already a great mass of evidence to show that the weight, inequities and stupidities of the tax structure have been'a serious drag on growth of the Gross National Pro- duct. The immediate prospect is for a greater rather than a lesser drag, in view of planks in the party plat- forms. But if the government elected today maintains the present structure, and makes no move towards enligh- tened revision and amendment, we shall continue to trudge along while other nations outstrip us in economic growth. A Lesson ceroses were being killed for their horn so it could be exported to China "where, for some incomprehensible reason, they seem to think it acts as an aphrodisiac." That tore it. The leading Chinese- owned newspaper in Hong Kong im- mediately accused the Duke of making a "sneering reference" to the Chinese. It said: "In Britain it is commonly believed that oysters and stout have aphrodisiac properties. Is there much difference between these equally unscientific assumptions? At one time it was customary to say anything one liked about thé 'heathen Chinese', Today, surely, a person like the Duke should have better taste or sense." Had the Duke criticized his country- men for eating oysters, all would have been well. Now he knows, People who eat powdered rhinoceros horn instead of little pink pills are silly and superstitious only if they are white, male, adult etc Trade Across Channel Australia's Prime Minister Menzies has now outdone even the earlier Canadian meaning about the prospect of Britain's joining the European Common Market. At the same time, India's Prime Minister Nehru has been taking a more philosophic at- titude, even though India has almost as much of a direct trade interest as Australia. The Menzies blast drew cheers from the anti-Common Market group in Britain -- Lord Beaverbrook, some of the Conservative members of Parlia- ment, old-line imperialists, the in- effable Montgomery and other as- sorted associations and individuals distinguished mainly by their sus- picion of "foreigners". But sentiment, prejudice and Com- monwealth worries cannot wipe out the facts of Britain's trading position. Even as an outsider, Britain has an enormous stake in the Common Market. In the first quarter of this year, European countries purchased more than a billion dollars' worth of British goods, This was the first time that She Osharwn Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

About 39 per cent of Britain's ex- ports are now going to Europe, mainly to the six Common Market countries, according to the British Export Council. West Germany, which purchased about $252 million worth of British goods three years ago, now buys about $560 million worth an- nually. Exports to Italy totalled about $336 million last year and are ex- pected to climb to $420 million this year. One can imagine what the trading position would be with Britain a member of the Market. Other Editors' Views GUARANTEED JOBS (Victoria Colonist) It may be theoretically possible in any country -- although even here the proposition cannot be absolute-- to banish unemployment, but only if a government were running every- thing under state control; that is, directly bossing every job in the land, from beauty parlors and news-stands to shipyards and insurance companies. And that means that individuals must be at the complete mercy of the state, with the latter able to shift workers from job to job as it decrees, Only if people were completely sub- ordinated to the state in'every respect could it be possible to assure full em- ployment all the time for all the people, ODDLY ASSORTED MUSKETEERS REPORT FROM U.K. Automatic Auto Park Costly Flop Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Eighteen months ago, with pomp and ceremony, Princess Margaret officially de- clared open a multi-storey auto- matic car parking building in Woolwich. When it was opened by the Princess, it was hailed as the solution to the borough's parking problems. Built by a firm known as Autostackers, Limited, it was declared by one of the directors of the com- pany to be 10 years ahead of its time. Today, 18 months after its opening, it has not had a single car pass through its doors. Be- cause of some mechanical faults which had developed, it has not been put into use, and has be- come a costly joke in the borough of Woolwich. Len New- lan, chairman of the Federation of Tenants' Associations of the borough, says: "It must be one of the biggest white elephants this country has ever known." COST IN DISPUTE The project for the Auto- stacker was begun in March, 1960, on the site of the old Denmark Fears Jute Invasion COPENHAGEN (Reuters Sovereignty senstive Danes are afraid of a peaceable West German "'invasion" of Jutland, scene of an off-and-on Danish- German border dispute for 600 years. A three - pronged attack on the peninsula, whose 2,000,000 inhabitants make up almost half the Danish population, is seen from tourists, television and the Common Market treaty, Tourist officials expect 850,- 000 West Germans will take va- cations in Jutland this summer, crowding the Danes out of their own holiday sea fronts. The summertime influx of West Germans has brought bit- ter comment -- and legislation to prevent foreigners from buy- ing land or property except un- der stringent conditions and close control. The attratcion of German television has caused a rush for German - language lessons in Jutland, home territory of Den- mark's German minority of about 25,000 persons. About 80,000 Danes in south- ern Jutland are reached every day by German television. Many Danes consider the West German programs better and brighter than the Danish pro- duct. Proposed Danish membership in the European Common Mar- ket would result in a consider- able increase in external pres- sure, spreading the present cul- tural conflict in the border area all over Denmark, many say. Empire Theatre. It was designed to hold 256 cars, which were to be parked automatically on its many floors. Auto- Stackers, Limited, agreed to build it for the original estimate of $321,000, which was to have been the total cost to the Woolwich .Council. The true cost of the building, however, has run to over $540,000. Ever since its official opening by the Princess Margaret, there has been a financial dispute be- tween the council and the com- pany. The Woolwich council has so far paid $186,009. but has ref to make 'urther payment or to take 1. over until it is proved to be working properly. MAKING INQUIRY Now a report is awaited from an independent firm of consult- ing engineers appointed by the council to make a thorough in- vestigation. D. W. Yelland, a liberal councillor who has con- ducted his own investigaton into the project, has asked how the council will recover its money if the Autostacker does not work. The company explains that the building was erected far more quickly than should have been the case, and that it was a prototype, built straight from the drawing board. It admits that mechanical modifications have had to be made, but its officials claim that they are satisfied that it will work. They say they are ready to hand it over to the council, but the co-ncil wants to see it in operation before taking it qver. Says E. L. Doble, deputy town clerk: "The council con- tracted to buy the Autostacker when it was built and operating. We have no financial interest in it until it is handed over to us. We are losing the income that we hoped to get from it, but there is no great loss." But after recalling the flam- boyant words of praise for the project uttered by Princess Margaret when she officially opened it, one wonders what the Princess thinks about it all now. BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO The Oshawa Regimental and Civic Band presented its first concert of the season at the Mc- Laughlin Band Shell. The band was assisted by the Elizabethan Singers and the General Motors War Veterans' Pipe Band. The new executive of the Osh- awa Business Mer's Association included Leslie Eagleson, chair- man, A. H. Dancey, vice-chair- man and Leon Rolson, secre- tary-treasurer, for the ensuing year. Despite inclement weather, 500 Oshawa Boy Scouts paraded to Simene Street United Church for their annual church service. The address was delivered by Rev. George Telford, minister of St. Andrew's United Church. At the Westmount public school annual graduation exer- cises, four Amelia Lear scholar- ships were awarded to Shirley Mclsaac and Allan Lawrence, seniors, and Gladys Porter and Fred Johnston, juniors, for all- round proficiency.

GTTAWA REPORT Waste Of Water By Feckless Few By PATRICK NICHOLSON A young father living in Greater Ottawa moved his fam- ily into a small cottage beside the mighty Ottawa River. Muni- cipal water is not supplied to that district, su he fetched his family's needs in a bucket from the beautiful river. Being a newcomer, he was not aware that our capital's scenic pride has been converted into an open sewer by municipal parsi- mony. His young wife and baby daughter got stomach cramps; but he got typhoid fever -- and died. That disturbing and shameful tragedy gives meaning to the warning recently issued by Prime Minister John Diefen- baker that our treasure of fresh water will be worthless by the year 1985 unless steps are taken to halt man-made pollution of our lakes and rivers. More than half the world's supply of fresh water runs through Canadian territory. So prodigal are we with that un- der-rated natural wealth that, in a bare century from Confed- eration, we feckless few will have destroyed the worth of most of the water in our settled areas. PREVENT, 'NOT CURE Since the unhappy death of that young father, the kettles are kept steaming as Ottawans using river water or wells boil out the impurities. But many residents complain that even boiled water gives them stomach cramps. And Ot- tawans have not got over their embarrassment when, not many years ago, a visiting monarch was so disordered by Ottawa's "sewage cocktail" that protocol had to be reshuffled to ensure. that our royal visitor was never YOUR HEALTH Ignorant People Add To Suffering By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I thought it was decided years ago that cancer is not contagious. I recently had my larynx re moved. and a few people have actually been sadistic toward me. Small things, to be sure. In a showdown, one person said cancer is contagious and she had been told to be careful of me. Please comment on the effect such treatment will have on a laryngectomee. Also food han- died by a larynegctomee. Need anyone be fearful of that? MRS, P.W. A letter like this makes me very sad indeed. And mad. It should annoy every intelligent person. Yet the ill - informed keep on passing around the to- tally unfounded, thoughtlessly- Savage rumor that cancer is contagious. I know many laryngectomees, people who have had the larynx removed. Even one doctor. I have come in the. closest con- tact with any number of pa- tients who have, or used to have cancer. If it were contagious, I would have had cancer long ago. So would just about every doctor in the world. Cancer is NOT contagious. For the benefit of some folk who don't like words of more than one syl-lable, can-cer is not catching. Do I make my- self clear? There is a lot we don't know about cancer. There is much that we do. Mice, and mice aren't men, can be bred so that certain strains of them will al- ways develop cancer sooner or later. In them, cancers of cer- tain types can be transplanted, and the cancers will grow. Then the mice "have cancer." But this means surgical transplant- ing. It doesn't mean that can- cer can be started by putting healthy mice in the same cage with mice having cancer. Or sharing their food. Or even go- ing steady with them -- what- ever that'means to mice. Not so very long ago some TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 18, 1962... The United States de- clared war on Britain 150 years ago today--in 1812-- declaring that British naval vessels had violated U.S. neutrality and _ territorial waters.

These features inclu birch-bark canoes, maple 5 mocassins and simplified sew- age disposal. i. Our adoption of the latter re cently caused some astonish- ment to -he ambassador from France, who had to vacate his official residence because of the offensive odor rising from the Ottawa River lapping his gar- den.

TREATMENT PROJECTS - Thus in 1960 our federal goy- ernment authorized Central Mortgage and Housing Corpora- tion to make loans to assist mu- nicipaiities to construct sewage treatment plants. This program was designed to assist in the elimination of the widesprea@ gga of our water and of our soil. A recent check showed that over 160 municipalities have ak ready received approval of their applications for loans totalling over $44,000,000 -- being two- thirds of the cost of each proj- ; ect. Typically these loans range courageous inmates of the Ohio State Penitentiary at Columbus volunteered to let cancers be transplanted into their bodies. Did they get cancer? No It takes some curious set of conditions for a person or an animal to get cancer: Age, he- redity, irritants, glandular cir- cumstances, probably some particular virus in some cases, and so on. It isn't contagious. It isn't catching. I don't like to belabor the point, because it shouldn't be necessary. But today's letter is one of many proving that we do have to make this fact clear. Otherwise people with cancer, or even people cured of cancer, are going to be cruelly treated by acquaintences who shun them, refuse to eat with them, and so on. As to iaryngectomees, since the larynx is removed, they must learn a new way of speech. It's difficult, but not impossible. If their 'friends' make life harder by "being careful" of these people things become much more difficult for them. It's like a boy at a school party who says to a girl: "You can't dance very well, but I'll try to dance with you anyway." How does the girl feel? Doesn't she have two left feet? Cer- tainly! The same thing goes for a struggling laryngectomee. Any readers whq have thought that cancer is "catching," please take today's words to heart.
