Wilson, Publisher _ THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1962 -- PAGE 6 » Bidanced Budget First Then Cut In Taxation | « The Canadian Manufacturers' As- sociation said this week that a general tax cut would be the quickest, most practical way to increase the supply of capital for Canadian industry and help keep it competitive. The Associa- tion told the Royal Commission on Banking and Finance that it favors the recently-announced special tax study but feels that "a reduction of the over-all level of taxation is the more fundamental and urgent need." We agree that Canadians are carry- ing too heavy a burden of taxation, ,and that a lessening of the total burden -- the sum of the taxes levied 'by municipal, provincial and federal governments -- is a necessity if the économy is to resume a vigorous rate of growth. But first there must be an end to deficit financing, to restore international confidence in Canada and to lessen the need for such emer- *gency measures as the imposition of surcharges on imports. The federal government in parti- cular has been living far beyond its means. It has taken some measures to reduce its spending. If these measures do not balance income and outgo, it must take sterner steps to cut its spending. Then it can con- sider the taxation level. A wise readjustment of taxation would undoubtedly give a boost to the economy, a boost that could pro- duce greater government revenue despite lower tax rates. But even a simple across-the-board cut in gen- eral taxation would be only an expe- dient. The fundamental need is still the adoption of a reasoned philosophy of taxation, the elimination of stupi- dities and inequalities in the tax laws, and the recognition of the in- fluence of taxes on corporate and private initiative and development. This, of course, amounts to a tax revolution. But that is what is needed, and that is what may result from the special tax study. Trade Conference Later " P}ime Minister Diefenbaker's pro- posal that a world trade conference be held in Canada cannot be described as an alternative to the proposed éntry of Britain to the European Common Market. Mr. Diefenbaker talked about "alternatives" when he arrived in London for the conference of Commonwealth prime ministers; he gaid the time was not propitious for e revelation of the alternatives; and fe left without revealing them. The yorld trade conference would take § long time for preparation. Britain Hroposes to enter the Common Market ext year, if the proper terms can e arranged -- and the impression éne got from the Commonwealth lks was that the Macmillan govern- ment is determined to turn to Europe. « In making his world-trade speech, r. Diefenbaker seemed to recognize r. Macmillan's determination. Even to as airy a proposer of ideas as Mr, Diefenbaker, the vagueness of the world conference idea must have been in sharp contrast with the im- mediate realities of the Common Market. The proposal would have just as much validity after Britain's join- ing Euromart as before. Indeed, the strengthening of Euromart and the obvious moves by the United States for some sort of working arrange- ment with the Common Market make a free-world trade conference a matter of necessity. The conference idea, then, is good, but it cannot be rushed. The ground must be properly prepared for dis- cussion of intricate subjects, and that takes time. There is no point int hold- ing a conference that results only in the exchange of. pleasant bana- lities, "Radar Detectors Flop > Some months ago we expressed con- Sern about a gadget being produced fh the United States that was sup- posed to enable motorists to outwit lice radar traps. We can now report, with considerable relief, that the gad- gets don't work. = Northwestern University's traffie ffstitute tried out the two most Widely advertised gadgets, called de- fectors. The findings, as reported by the Milwaukee Journal: Both produced _ @ntinuous noise and picked up all sorts of interfering signals. In urban fests this interference was so strong nat neither warning device out- nged police radar. Under those con- tions, a driver could not possibly have outwitted the police. In rural tests, one set was a complete flop. It did not sound a warning until the test vehicle was well within police radar range. The other set was gen- erally effective. The tests were pre- arranged, however, and the driver Knew the location of the radar and was ready for the warning sound. Under operating conditions he couid not have reacted so swiftly. ; As the Journal remarks, the ines- capable conclusion is that drivers who tmy such detection devices are only fooling themselves. Indeed, they do midt need to be protected from the police but from themselves, because Be Oshawa, Times T. L, WILSON, Publisher 2 C.

We were also worried about the sale of fluorescent fishing lures (illegal in Ontario, incidentally). But a friend of ours who returned from the United States recently reports that these lures are much more at- tractive to the fishermen than to the fish. He tried them after sunset on a lake noted for the size, savagery and hunger of its largemouth bass; he handled them with all the skill and variety learned in two decades of angling, but didn't get a bite. He quit when a native finally informed him that he had probably ruined the fish- ing for the next several hours bes) cause the gleaming lures "always scared the bejabers out of the fish." Other Editors' Views SETTING A PATTERN (Ottawa Journal) Because it has been so easy to buy a new house it has become hard to sell an old one. The buyer of an older house cannot get an NHA mortgage, So he usually has to make a down payment that is much larger than would be required on a new house. And the interest he must pay is usually higher than the going NHA rate. These difficulties weaken the market for old houses, no matter how _ and well maintained they may And when old houses are hard to sell at an adequate price their owners are reluctant to spend money on repairs and maintenance, Thus slums may be born.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent Fer The Oshawa Times LONDON Rev. Charles Porter, vicar 'of St. Andrew's Church, one of the largest churches in the suburban town of Ilford, Essex, has launched a searing criticism of the pres. ent system of appointment of newly ordained priests in the Church of England, In an out- spoken statement, he calls the system an "unseemly scram- ble'. Curates, he declares, pick and choose until they get the parish which offers them the greatest incentives. Rev. Mr. :Porter is at the moment iooking for a new cur- ate for his church. His present one is leaving to take over a parish on his own. Although Mr. Porter has interviewed several men regarding the vacancy, he has not yet found a replace- ment. He blames this on a new attitude of "playing hard to get' on the newly ordained priests. LOOK FOR INCENTIVES Mr. Porter spoke of the situ- ation he. has discovered in the following blunt terms. "Today the new man inter- views the vicar for his curacy rather than the other way around. They look around to see if some additional incentive or material help is offered. The shortage of curates has pro- duced a competitive market. "When I was ordained, in the 1890's, I was very glad to find a vicar to take me on. Nowa- days a curate-to-be makes up a list on the advice of his Bishop, or the principal of his college, sees a number of vicars and takes his choice from several parishes. The richer parishes can offer all kinds of incentives for a curate to join it. Many have. curate's houses, which is QUEEN'S PARK Small Producers Given Sales Aid By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- A little thought @an go a long way. There are thousands of small manufacturers in Ontario who have products which could sell in the export markets, They are so small, however, that they don't have the re- sources to send salesmen into the overseas markets. Yet they are important ia the Trade Crusade that is under- way. Their total sales overseas could be an impressive and im- portant figure in our over-all export picture. So the™ninister of economics and devel ent, Robert Mac- aulay, has come up with an answer, He has devised a commission- agent arrangement. Commission agents are being lined up in Europe. They will each handle lines for 10 Ontario companies. The government is paying $6,000 towards their first year's Salary: It also is giving assist- ance on dispiays etc. After the first year it is ex- pected they will be supported by the companies concerned. At the time of writing the first two projects under this program 'have just been launched. 3 One agent has been appointed to represent 10 Ontario clothing manufacturers. The second will sell for 10 sports clothes makers. This type of a program, of course, is something that could have been started a long time PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "An electronic brain that com- poses music, and one that com- poses amateurish poetry have been made."

But to start it required some- body to sit down and do a little thinking. EDUCATION PLAN NDP Leader Donald Mac- Donald wants to join battle on education. Mr. MacDonald has proposed a new approach which at first glance, at least, seems to have considerable merit. He would set up a province- wide standard for schools. The province would pay grants which would be the dif- ference between a municipali- ties school revenues (deter- mined on an equalized assess- ment) and the amount neces- Sary to maintain this standard. Any locality that wanted frills in its schools would pay for them on top of this. In announcing his program the NDP leader threw it against what he claimed was the offi- cial Liberal program. The Grits, he said, would take over all the costs of education and also take the revenue from local industrial and commercial assessment. Mr. MacDonald hasn't been able to pick his fight yet, how- ever. Liberal spokesmen say this is not their program. It has not been announced: It will be at this winter's session.

If they don't ac- tually offer him a car, they can offer him material help in run- ning one, such as paying his gasoline bills." WHITSUN COLLECTION One of the questions which always arises, says Mr, Porter, has to do with the collection on Whitsunday. This is normally given to the curate. It can amount to as much as $600 in a wealthy parish, but in a small one $60 would be considered a good average. This is an added extra to the official stipend, and might mean a great deal in the decision of a curate as to which parish he takes. Mr. Porter had also found that curates like to work where there is more than one on the staff, so that they can enjoy more fellowship. "Vicars are also being ap- pointed at a younger age,"' said Mr. Porter. "This is adding to the short- age of curates. They are being pushed up far too fast these days. . "There are just as many new men being ordained as there are old men retiring. But as there are more and more new churches being built all over the country, we are always losing ground, The shortage of men coming into the church has resulted in the situation getting quite out of hand." concerned mother, suggest that this study include a rigid and impartial research into possible harmful effects of artificial fluoridation.

The British Medical Journal Lancet warns-in a recent article that "Whatever the form of control, toxic effects on the human foetus or newborn infant may still escape detection." The blood of the mother and the foetus have been reported to contain about the same concen- tration of * fluoride. That this YOUR HEALTH Teenager Worried By Thinning Hair By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: I am a teen-age girl who goes through the nightly agony of sleeping on large hair rollers. I have lost considerable hair and in places it is getting thinner. Could I be going bald? I' so, can anything be done?--D, R- S. You probably are not becom- ing bald. put I know how this sort of thing worries girls. Re- cently I ran into a case of this same description which was solved quite easily. How? By getting a different and shorter haircut, so the girl could ar- range her coiffure by brushing and combing in the morning. It's true that women can be- come bald, although not nearly as often as do men. Some hair loss is common after pregnancy and the menopause. We do know, however, that gentle massage of scalp (as from brushing) helps keep it and the hair healthy. The reason some girls think they are becoming bald is be- cause hairs break off close to the scalp. This is not baldness; it is the result of brittleness, The hair does. it is true, appear thinner. The difference between this and baldness is that the roots remain active. The hair wi'l grow again. Using various' concoctions, plus the mechanical stress of the curlers every night, can break the hair shafts. Dear Dr. Molner: After read- ing about a boxer who got pneu- monia while in a coma, and died, our group has been dis- cussing it. What causes it, and does it turn into cancer?--O. M. Pneumonia is infection or in- flammation of the lung. It is caused (in the case you cite) because, with the patient lying motionless, his ordinary body processes were slowed down, and he readily fell victim to one BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, Canadian High Commissioner to Britain, officially opened the Oshawa Fair and spoke at the directors' luncheon. Ross Mackinnon tendered his resignation from the Board of Education prior to leaving the city. Over 9,000 people attended the 1932 Oshawa Fair on its opening day. G.

Will the continued satur- ation of these children's bodies. for the rest of their lives lead inevitably to even more serious, chronic disorders? Apart from this possibility, adolescents are extremely sensitive about their looks, and one wonders if they are convinced that mottled teeth has "enhanced their appeat- ance'? : Professor G. C, Dobbs, Ph. D, ARCS, Senior Lecturer of the University of Wales and at pres: ent lecturing on this continent has said, 'There is no way in which any human being, how- ever expert he may think him- self, can have any knowledge of the extent of the damage-to the health of individuals ina large population subjected to one part per million of fluoride in the water, whether of natural or of artificial origin.

Mohandas Gandhi, the late Indian leader, began a death fast 30 years ago to- day--in 1932--to dramatize his campaign for an end to discrimination against the so-called untouchables.

Sodium Fluoride can be pur- chased cheaply for children at any drug store with the exact dosage clearly defined.
