86 King St. E., Cmte ote we 'She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited Oshawa, Ontario ge Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1962 -- PAGE 6 See eed ee Fund Report Another report that should soon » be made public is that of the Gill 'committee which investigated the 'Zunemployment insurance fund, 2 The fund's parlous condition is # shown by the figures. In December, 1956, it stood at an all-time high of $926 million. In May of this year, it 'Stood at an all-time low of $20 mil- 'lion. During the intervening years yments into the fund amounted to * $1,700 million. There has been the 3 usual seasonal recovery this past gsummer -- by the end of June, for Sexample, the fund had climbed to $$29 million. But unless some action -is taken, the fund will disappear early this winter. The trouble is, of course, that the unemployment fund had violated all insurance principles. It should not be "called an insurance fund at all, or else should be set up on a proper sus- taining basis. If there is to be a fund drawn from tax revenue to make pay- ments to the seasonally unemployed, such as fishermen and loggers, as 77 €ES8ses we 22488899942894888024 Oshawa city councillors were dis- gturbed recently by the amount of Sglass left 'on streets after traffic "accidents. Most municipalities that have heavy traffic have the same problem, but Santa Monica, California, seems to have found a solution. Some time ago Santa Monica traffic court judge began handing out unusual sentences and unorthodox penalties, and city authorities claim that since he started, there have been a 20 per cent drop in traffic citations and a 10 per cent decrease in tragic acci- dents. Glass on the streets? Several young male speeders had to put on jail uniforms and sweep the streets of the debris left by traffic accidents. The judge sentenced a woman speeder to four hours of watching wreck victims taken into the emergency ward of a city hospital. The Santa Monica police have a color-sound movie of traffic acci- dents, a grim picture of the dead, Unemployment Insurance Awaited well as to the unpredictable jobless, then it should be properly labelled and an end made to the sorry fiction that it is a contributory insurance scheme. In fact, everyone contributes to the fund, potential beneficiary or not. Administration costs of nearly $50 million a year are paid out of gen- eral tax revenues, as is another con- tribution of $57 million to provide the government's share of one-fifth of the total paid in by insured work- ers and their employers, And insured worker puts up 40 cents of every dollar paid into the fund, and this is matched by his employer, who does not take it out of his own pocket but necessarily includes it in the cost of deing business. That cost, in turn, is passed along to the consumer. Therefore, if the fund takes in $350 million this year, the consumer-tax- payer will pay 60 per cent if, plus a million dollars a week to administer it. It may be necessary, but it isn't insurance, Sweepers For Streets the dying, the mangled; one sequence shows a truck driver trapped in his flaming vehicle, screaming for the help that no'one could give. Violators in groups of up to 100 have been shown the film, and some of them have had to be treated for shock and nausea. Some violators have been given a choice between five days in jail or one day of street sweeping. Others have been put in jail for a half-hour, to show them the environment in which they would spend much more time if they returned to the court and were found guilty. This treatment of traffic offenders may be unorthodox, but if it is effec- tive, it is worth study by traffic authorities. Certainly .one cannot claim that orthodox methods so far have been any roaring success. If traffic offenders in Oshawa were put to work shen the streets after accidents, there would be less glass on the pavement and possibly fewer cases to be handled in traffic court, Russ Build-Up In Cuba A high U.S. government official has warned that any Russian attempt to set up long-range offensive mis- siles in Cuba would bring "the most serious consequences." Even this is far more restrained than the out- cries of some' American politicians, who are crying for blockades, in- vasions and whatnot. But if the situ- ation were not so explosive, it would be amusing. The phrase "the most serious consequences" is almost exact- ly the phrase used by the Russians when they complain about American missile bases being set up close to their borders. The information coming out of Cuba suggests that the Russian arms and technicians arriving there are for 'defensive purposes. Ground to air missiles are defensive weapons, de- 'signed to knock down attacking air- raft. But if the Russians are making 'Cuba a base for offensive weapons, they are only doing what the Amer- ficans have already done in several 'countries in Europe. and Asia.

We know that the American bases are designed to deter the Russians from aggressive action; the bombers and missiles are there to strike back if the Russians launch an 'attack, They are, therefore, of a defensive nature. But the Russians, not un- naturally, look on them as potentially aggressive. And when someone like Senator Barry Goldwater yells about "total victory", we can hardly blame them. Developments in Cuba may give the Americans the shakes, but time is on their side if they do not. take rash action. The Russian missiles will not put food in the mouths of Cubans. Castro has made a complete mess of the island's agricultural program, and the Russians can't do much to help him straighten it out -- they've not been eminently successful in handling their own agricultural troubles. Other Editors' Views EASY DOESN'T DO IT (Peterborough Examiner) The emphasis on doing everything the easy way has been one of the curses of the present century. No one objects to labor-saving devices which wash dishes and clothes, polish floors, clean carpets, saw wood, dig ditches and shovel snow. But it' is dangerous to make the mistake of assuming there is an easy way to do everything. The man who pins his faith in writers who tell him how to do things the easy way is only frustrating his talents and energies. There is truth in the old saying that there is no substitute for practice. feo tA BREN THOMPSON WORKED IN SOCIAL crevIT LEADER ETHIOPIA FOR SOMETIME BEFORE TAKING UP HIS POLITICAL DUTIES © 'ETHIOPIA WAS NEVER LIKE THIS' REPORT FROM U.K. Economy Proposals Stun Rail Workers By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON--Thousands of men who joined the railways with the idea of making a lifetime career of being a railwayman are today wondering about their future. Dr. Richard Beeching, chairman of the British Trans- port Commission, has made it known that some 20,000 raiiway workers will lose their jobs in Britain's 25 main railway work- shops in the next five years. Within that time, about 35 per cent of the 57,000 men who serv- ice and repair rolling stock in these workshops will become surplus to requirements. Under jathat a Dr. Beeching's re-organization plans 10,000 men will be laid off by the end of next year, and another 10,000 over the following four years. RAILMEN ANGRY This announcement came as a great shock to the workers in the railway workshops. Their leaders gave an angry reaction to it when they were given the news in London by the new chief of the workshops, Sir Steuart Mitchell, at a meeting marked by some tough talking. They had been prepared jor a substantial amount of redun- dancy as a result of Dr. Beech- ing's plans, but the severity of the proposed cuts startled them. BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Dr, Grant L. Bird, Conserva- tive, Gordon D. Conant, Liberal and Finlay M. Dafoe, CCF, were named as candidates to contest the Ontario Riding in the pro. vineial general election. Roland Moffatt was appointed revising officer for the voters' list. A Ukrainian National. Workers group was organized in Oshawa with Stanley Mozewsky as vice- President of the Dominion or- ganization. Fourteen carrier boys of The Times-Gazette enjoyed a day's outing at the Canadian National Exhibition as guests of the news- paper. Three cases of poliomyelitis were reported in the city, His' Honor Dr. Herbert A, Bruce, lieutenant - governor of Ontario, officiated at the formal opening of the 1937 Oshawa Fair The huge Imperial Airways flying boat, '"Cambria", passed over the district and circled the city. Edna Henry and Annie Dym!- trow, of Simcoe Hall, were de- elared the best all-round camp. ers, while Edna Brudich re- ceived the prize for the highest number of points. General Motors announced re. opening its Regina plant, with James Halliday, of Oshawa, placed in charge of plant re- habilitation.

Librarian Mrs, C. A. Schofield reported a total of 8,353 books were borrowed during August. Rt. Rev, Peter Bryce, DD, moderator of the United Church of Canada, was the speaker at the conference of ministers and laymen held at Whitby. William Taillon, chairman of the Shopmen's Commiiteé of the Confederation of the Ship- building and Engineering Unions, expressed himself fore: ibly, He said: "It is disastrous, It will mean lot of men who have given a lifetime of service to the railways will be thrown out of work, The future is very bleak." Sidney Greene, general secre- tary of the National Union o Railwaymen, called the decision one of the worst things the rail- waymen have had to face since 1930, He said: "It is worse than we expect- ed. It could only be worse now if they shut them all down." The 20,000 men who are 'o be axed within the next five yoars will all come from the main workshops which employ 57,000 men on locomotive construction and heavy repairs. The union men were not told which work- shops would be affected. There are some that will close com- pletely, and all will suffer from some measure of redundancy Some of the workshops hard- est hit are those in Scotiend, and coupled with the closure of many railway lines, and the closing of several coal mines, this will be a hard blow to the Scottish economy at a time when unemployment here is more than double the national average. Some of the largest workshops at which staffs will be reduced in a drastic way are those at Ashford (Kent), Crewe, Dariing- ton, Derby, Doncaster, Tast- leigh (Hampshire), Gorton and Horwich (Lancashire), Shildon (Durham), Swindon, Wolverton (Buckinghamshire) and York, At the meeting in London, Ray Gunter, Labor MP, pres:- dent of the Transport Salaries Staffs Association, told Sir Steu- art Mitchell, "If we change the govern- ment, we will show you how to run the railways." OTTAWA REPORT Potato Examined By Legal Brains. By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--"The Case of the Instant Potato" now is before our courts, and some of the best research and legal brains in government and in private industry . are dedicated to. the destination and distribution of the lowly boiled potato, Four years ago & food pro- cessing company, Salada Foods, obtained a Canadian patent coy- ering a process for preparing soma dried "potatoes in lakes. By this method, they are peeled, cooked, riced and dehydrated--then marketed in packages for quick and. easy serving.

Or they may encounter heavy ex- posure to some germ for the first time--and the result can be tragic, That is why, if we are wise, we don't take a tiny baby where there are crowds of people, why hospitals are so strict about vis- itors in maternity wards, why we ourselves stay away from a baby if we come down with a heavy cold, why a: mother with a cold wears a gauze mask while handling baby. We can't keep babies "'wrap- ped in cotton wool." But we can take r ble precautions to hi This did not seem rea to many physicians who recog- nized that even having the face covered with a blanket does not shut off all air, There is enough to breathe, Investigation of these cases then disclosed the real cause: The babies were victims of sud- den, overwhelming respiratory infections. This is the principal cause of sudden death among very young children, Usually the infection is unsus- pected. If it developed more slowly, at least two factors would then work in the babies' behalf. First, treatment would be possible. Second, there would be more time for the wee ones to muster theit. own small de- fenses against it, for the body always tries to fight off infec- tion, of course, Infants are born with tempor- ary immunity against some di- seases, but this does nol--and let them come. gradually into contact with the germ-inhabited world. It's a»problem which, for the most part, is highly danger: ous only to the very young infants, "They're always a little rat- tly' may not mean a respira- tory infection. It may be al- lergy,.and your doctor, by ob-+ servation, can reach a conclu- sion on that for you. Allergies are a nuisance and at times can be harmful, but they are rarely deadly, such as can be true of: sudden contact for the first time with some germ or other.
