RAMEN neevaee She Oshawa Cunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1962 --- PAGE 6 Nordair Gets Approval For Service Suspension When Nordair suspended its op- eration in Oshawa, the impression was created that this city was the weak spot on. the company's so-called Seaway air route. But apparently the other cities along the way did not give Nordair much more support. The company has requested the Air Trans- port Board's permission to suspend the Seaway Route service, effective Aug. 16, and -- to quote a Nordair press release -- "in view of the sever- ity of the situation, the Board has granted the authority without delay. The Nordair statement continues: "Nordair is seriously hoping that it will soon be possible to resume the Seaway Route service. The potential revenue could be increased by a num- ber of possible means: improvement of airport facilities in order to assure better performance; a larger share of the traffic between the various points served; direct support to service, etc. However, such changes cannot be at- tained without an air policy contain- ing remedies for situations of this nature, and the sooner such a policy is adopted, the sooner the resumption of this service can be expected." Oshawa residents will find a familiar note in that statement -- the clear suggestion that the cities, their councils and senior government are all under obligation to Nordair for the company's ' thoughtfulness, financial daring and philanthropic motives in providing them with such a fine air service. But Oshawa residents also know how little effort Nordair put in- to devloping the potential air business in this area, and suggestions of 'direct support to service" will get a sour re- ception here. ' Nordair may have been much more enterprising in such cities as King- ston, Hamilton and Windsor, than it was here. But they would need to be. And if the company made a thorough survey of the route before starting the servic, the inadequacies of airport facilities, "share of traffic' afid so on should have been fully apparent. We regret the loss suffered by Nordair -- and it must be substantial -- but look- ing at the situation from Oshawa, we cannot claim to be surprised. Only For Emergencies Prime Minister iDefenbaker says he's very pleased with the way the austerity program is working. Good. The improvement in Canadas financial situation should enable him to pre- sent to Parliament when it meets (and . that should not be long delayed) an imaginative long-range program to replace the hastily conceived austerity scheme. First to go should be the sur- charges on a wide variety of imports. While it is true that these surcharges have given some domestic producers a boost and helped to reduce our stag- gering bill for impdrts, Canada can- not afford a high-protection policy; our domestic market is too small and our productive capacity too great for' such an inward-looking posture--par- ticularly at a time when other trad- ing nations are looking outward. In the long run, tariffs not only impose hidden taxes and award hid- den subsidies, but they distort and weaken the whole domestic economy. 'Free Lunch' "IT have been convinced", wrote Lord Macauley more than a hundred years ago, "that constitutions, purely democratic, must sooner or later de- stroy liberty or civlization, or both." What he had in mind was the habit formed by big and little groups of people, that a Federal Government was after all a free lunch and that its treasury can be plundered, seemingly without end, for the enrichment of this or that interest, the Guelph Mer- cury comments. He said the time came when almost nobody anymore would go without a subsidy. In order to do this Federal Government en- croached more and more on all local governments, communities and indi- viduals. They let these communities build hospitals and churches, and schools, for the sake of their children and the public generally. Then when the circumstances get beyond the individuals control, sub- sidy is applied and people say as long as farmers and private bodies, such as pensioners to veterans, and others She Oshawa Times T.

The Wall Street Journal some time ago summed it up this way. "A protected industry is able to bid capital and labor away from in- dustries where they could be more efficiently employed. Its higher prices restrict its markets both at home and abroad ... With the sales of protected industries thus limited and with much of the nations resources employed in- efficiently, the inevitable result is a severe restriction on the growth of the economy. Both national output and national income are held well below levels 'they might otherwise attain." This is not a plea for sudden re- moval of tariffs. Such action would not be sensible, practical or realistic. But we should recognize that tariff reduction should be a necessary and integral part of any long-range econo- mic program. The surcharges were an expedient in an emergency; they may have been a necessary evil. But they should not be maintained a moment longer that the emergency demands. Attitude is granted, why not get in on the gravy. The idea spreads and the Gov- ernments encourage it, by use of de- magogy. They ignore Macauley's words of doom, even if they ever heard of it. He warned: "Whn a society has entered on this downward progress, either civilization or liberty must per- ish. Either some Caeser or Napoleon will seize the reins of government with a strong hand, or your democracy will be fearfully plundered and laid waste by barbarians in the 20th century as was the Roman Empire in the fifth-- with this difference, that the Huns and vandals who ravaged the Roman Empire came from without, and that your Huns and vandals have been n- gendered within your own country." Other Editors' Views UNHEARD PIANO (Wall Street Journal) The maker of an electronic piano has rigged it up with earphones so the sounds it generates can be heard only by the player. Well, this certainly represents a step toward neighborhood tranquility. We hope the sound engineers will now get busy on similar devices for violins, saxophones, trumpets, clarinets and trombones. And while they're at it, for politicians who interpret an in- vitation to say "a few words" as a mandate for a 30-minute oration.

Molner, M.D. "Dear Dr. Molner: Some time ago I read that inhaling certain fumes can damage the body. Where can I obtain a physical examination to determine the extent to which fumes to which I have been exposed have af- fected my health?--D.H." Your own physician. You can speed up his, work, of course, by reporting to him the types of fumes that are involved. Generally, examination of the eyes, and tests of the liver and kidneys, as well as blood and urine examinations for such things as lead poisoning, will give good indication of whether exposure has been harmful. In some cases, x-ray studies may be advisable to see whether other chemicals or dusts have affected the lungs. Dangerous exposure to fumes is not too likely among house- hold products if they are used properly. In industrial plants, where fumes of solvents or other irritating or toxic mater- ials may be present every day, added precautions are neces. sary and are enforced in most such places. Health examinations, power- ful ventilating systems, protec- tive clothing, compulsory use of gloves, goggles, masks, etc., are examples of how industry helps workers. Myron A. Snell, of a Hart- ford insurance firm and chair- man of a special committee which prepares technical bul- letins on a wide variety of such topics, sent me some very in- teresting material.on the lengths to which we should sometimes go to prevent any harm. A paragraph which struck me forcibly in one report was this: "All employees should under- stand that anyone can develop dermatitis (a skin ailment, that is) and that everyone should fol- low these precautions--use of protective clothing, devices, ete. Each should understand that once he develops a skin rash, he is more likely to get it again. Each operator should take special care to prevent others from developing derma- titis because of plant equip- ment, hand rails, door knobs, valves and switches that he has been too°careless to keep clean." As our complicated economy makes use of more and more chemicals, it's up to us to keep pace by knowing that some of them demand precautions. If a company has rather strict rules about showers, keeping benches clean, using masks, and so on, an employee should realize that there are valid reasons, It isn't just for the sake of making rules.

I don't mean we shouldn't employ these useful chemicals; I mean it is up to us to treat them with respect. Tomorrow, I'll discuss household chemi- cals. "Dear Dr. Moiner: What is polycythemia vera: What is the cause and does climate have any bearing on it? I am 70, never had any blood difficulty before.--R.H.L." It's an increase in the num- ber of red blood cells, often . called "Osler's disease," after one of the great men of medi- cine who recognized it. But the cause remains unknown, It's generally a disease of middle or later life. The normal red blood cell count is about 5,000,- 000 but with this ailment it rises to* from 9 to 13,000,000, thus thickening the blood. Cli- mate has no bearing on it. "Dear Dr. Molner: I have had cold sores ever since I can remember. What causes them? Can I avoid them?--Mrs. J.N." A virus causes them. Some- times, for reasons not exactly known, an ordinary smallpox vaccination stops them. QUEEN'S PARK Price Boosts Hit Beer Consumption By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--By now the brew- eries may or may not have an- nounced an increase in the price of beer. The chances are they won't have. At the time of writing an in- crease is Leing considered, The brewers costs are going up. And they aven't nad a price boost since 1959 (when the allowance for empties was knocked down by 10 cents a case). But they don't know whether they might not lose out in the end. SWITCH DRINKERS They have to decide princi- pally whether more beer drink- ers will switch to hard liquor. This has been the trend since the 1959 increase. The per capita consumption of beer has gone down. That of Canadian whiskies particularly has gone up. Another increase might actu- ally reduce volume. Which could mean reduced profits. Which way to toss the coin? ROOM SERVICE? While on the subject of liquor, hotel men report that room service is not proving any bo- nanza., A spokesman reports that the finish line and no effective action has been taken towards liquor outlets for tourist areas. It was announced in the spring that some provision would be made for the northern areas ... probably sale by the package in some resorts. But new policy has not been put into effect. Officials have been having trouble trying to decide whc would do the package selling. They wouldn't want it in every resort in an area. Yet if one had it there would be charges of discrimination from others, So nobody has it. Not a solution perhaps. But it staves off trouble.

They fill the local needs and save overhead. OTTAWA REPORT Maser And Laser New Magic Words By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The coming thrills of the space age have often been mentioned in this column. Three months ago, speaking of the new scientific discoveriés which will revolutionize light- ing, heating and cookng in our magic words, maser and laser". That was possibly the first time those words had been printed in Canada, at least out- side some technical publication. But now, as we read of the tri- umph of the Telstar satellite in pioneering long-range communi- cation, we learn that this was made possible by the use of masers. Of Telstar's many achieve- of ments, its most remarkable and most widely known is to relay television programs back from outer space, to points on earth 3,000 miles from their origin. POWERFUL MODGET The tiny satellite is only half as tall as an average man, yet it is so jammed with electronic equipment that it matches that man's weight. Some of that equipment en- ables it to pick up a television signal, coming from a record long distance from earth, then to amplify it, and to rebroad- cast it back to earth. But so great is Telstar's distance from the transmitting station on earth that the signal, originating at 2,000 watts, has weakened to a fraction of one-billionth part of a watt when Telstar receives it. It is amplified 10 billion times ge dong J retransmitted back Oo ea at a power of watts; but again the Aha fades to less than one-billionth a watt before it reaches earth, -- To pick up and separate this tiny wavering voice from outer space has been described as like trying to hear a whisper in a railway tunnel while a train roars through. But this miracle is achieved by the special receiving stations BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO The annual conference of Seventh-day Adventists was held at Oshawa Missionary College. Sixty tons of rubber made up of collections in the Oshawa plan tof General Motors was contributed to the war salvage drive. Band. music attracted more than 2,000 persons to Memorial Park where the Oshawa Civic and Regimental Band played its first weekly concert from the McLaughlin Band Shell. Work was started on a new 8- room school to accommodate 320 pupils at Ajax. Nursing Sister Nellie John- ston, of Oshawa, arrived for duty in South Africa. She was the second Oshawa girl to enlist with the South African Nursing Service. Oshawa stood sixth in the list of users of electricity in the province. The figures were 16,- 210 HP -- population 25,035. Appointment of E. J. Umphrey as director of sales for General Motors Products of Canada, Limited, was announced by W. S. Roberts, vice-president and general manager, Removal of the King street car tracks was given every con- sideration by a special commit- tee named by the city council to deal with the problem. Mem. bers of the committee included Mayor W. H. Gifford, City En- gineer O. G. Miller, and alder- men H. O. Perry, R. D. Hum- phries and Alex McLeese, Thirty-nine building permits were issued in Oshawa during July. The total cost of the build. ing operations was $30,235, of which $18,200 was for the erec- tion of six houses. Due to an impending shortage of tea in Canada, the announce. ment was made by the War- time Prices and Trade Board that both tea and coffee would be coupon-rationed, effective im- mediately.

The amplification of these weak signals is done by masers, the quietest or purest but the most powerful boosters yet de- vised. The word maser is an acro- nym, derived by today's fre- quent adaptation of initial letters, from the phrase "micro. wave amplification by stimu-- lated emission of radiation". .- The maser is another example of the strides made by science in learning how to harness the i power of the atom. But in this case the power is not of a split or fused atom as in nu- clear explosions, but is the 4 power of an excited or stimu- lated atom. A maser typically consists of a rod of synthetic ruby, half an inch long and one- fifth of an inch in diameter, with highly polished flat ends. Atoms excited within this red rod are known to have im- mensely valuable applications in the fields of communication, heating, illumination, medicine and photography. Many excited atoms,*vibrating pron ong ig a powerful source high - frequency en- ergy. Just how powerful is seen by the almost unbelievable yet valid assertion that a ruby opti- cal maser has produced a beam of light of an intensity which could only be produced from a source 20,000,000 times as hot as the sun. Anyone who has been rubbing soothing ointment onto human flesh grilled by the sun can readily appreciate the useful- ness for broiling steak, or heat- ing a home, of a source so much hotter than the sun. Much of the research work in this field has been carried out by the laboratories of the Bell Telephone Company's parent corporation in U.S.A. I have not been able to trace any such work being undertaken in Ca. nadian industry. Telstar thus becomes the first widely known application of the maser. As this column has pre- dicted earlier, we. can expect the coming years to bring many other benefits from this new scientific frontier, which will simplify and cheapen many of the chores of our daily life. REPORT FROM U.K. Friendly Renewal Of Naval Rivalry By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- In 1667 England and Holland were at war.

CANNONBALL TROPHY On August 16, a fleet of Brit- ish yachts will sail into Muiden, on the Zuyder Zee, the home port of the Royal Netherlands Yacht Club. One of the fea tures of this friendly visit will be the handing over to the Commodore of the Netherlands club, Jan Loeff, of a cannon ball. It will be one of those fired by the Dutch fleet in that naval action of 1667. This cannon ball has been mounted as a trophy to be offer- ed for competition between British and Dutch yactits, in a race to be organized annually by the Royal Netherlands Yacht Club. The competition for the tro- engagememt was fought 1667. The proposal to present this trophy for a yacht race be- tween the British and Dytch was first made a year ago.
