Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1962 -- PAGE 6 " Sweeps No Substitute For Our Responsibility Headlines this week told--once more of winnings by Canadians in the Irish Hospital Sweepstakes. And undoub- tedly they helped the two western 'women who are promoting a thing called Operation Sweepstake to obtain more signatures on a petition that will ask the House of Commons to legalize "government-controlled hos- pital sweepstakes for Canada.?' We have no objection to properly- run. sweepstakes, but we do object strongly (as readers of these columns know) to the substitution sweeps- takes for social responsibility. The support of such things as hospitals devolves upon every citizen; it is part of the grave responsibility of citizen- ship. It is our duty to pay for the social necessities, and we should not have to be bribed by the chance of something for nothing to accept that duty. That is our objection on the ground of principle. But we object also on the ground of efficiency. A sweeps- take is a highly inadequate means of raising money. It may be exciting, it may serve to distribute wealth, it may serve as a useful release for the urge to gamble which is present in most of us -- but it is inadequate as an instrument for fund-raising. The Irish hospitals, for example, get only 25 cents out of every dollar collected -- and the Irish Sweep is well-run; three-quarters of the money goes in prizes and administrative costs. This year the federal-provincial hospital insurance program will cost Canadians about $800 million. This year's estimated spending on repair and construction of hospital buildings amounts to $200 million. That's a total of a billion dollars. A Canadian sweep would not even put a dent into that sum. If sweeps were run to raise money for the Olympic Games, or a com- pany of touring actors, or assistance to indigent editors, there would be little objection. But please, let's not load our social responsibilities on to the gamblers and people who live.a dream of something-for-nothing. Dairy Industry Warned Agriculture Minister Hamilton's warning to Ontario and Quebec dairy farmers to cut production or face lower price supports reveals the chaotic condition of the government's policy in this area of agriculture. The government encouraged over- production of milk when it raised the price support on butter from 58 to 64 cents a pound. The butter surplus mounted steadily and quickly, to un- manageable proportions. Then the government had a bright idea: It would not discourage the over-produc- tion but would encourage consumers to buy more butter by means of another subsidy, and to make it a little more palatable, it would be called a "consumer subsidy." But any way it was spread, it was and is just another $42 million-a-year burden on the taxpayer. Butter consumption has picked up slightly, but not nearly enough to match production, and the butter surplus is now estimated to exceed 200 million pounds, in fresh and storage form. Meanwhile, the government con- tinues to make a deficiency payment of 25 cents a hundredweight on milk of second, third and fourth grades -- when there is a surplus of milk. Why it should not encourage the production of one high grade of milk-- a vitally important food -- is not explained. Mr. Hamilton's effort to get the dairy industry to police its own busi- ness is admirable, in theory. But it is simply not realistic. The dairy farmer says, quite naturally, that he needs production because he needs more money due to increased costs. The more inefficient his operation, the more he needs the money. Now perhaps Mr, Hamilton will explain how the "industry" could go about persu- ading some 138,000 dairy farmers to cut back voluntarily. Mr. Hamilton noted that Ontario and Quebec producers last spring applied for a year's stay in a govern- ment plan to curb production incen- tives. The farmers wanted time to organize their own programs through marketing boards, but the farmers' plan could not go into effect until next May at the earliest. Knowing this, Mr. Hamilton may only have 'been trying to impress on the farmers the urgency of the situation; but he also knows that the farmers know there will be no government action until the industry's program is ready. Mr. Hamilton may also have sought to reassure the restless taxpayers that the government is really trying to do something about the butter scandal. If so, he could have said it more briefly and more pointedly by simply telling the farmers that, starting next May 1, butter would be permitted to find its own market level. Salute To Newsboys. Today is Newspaperboy -Day in Canada in tribute to the thousands of ambitious and _ hard-working youngsters who deliver the nation's newspapers. It is a time when news- papers salute the young businessmen who are the final important link in the chain which gets news to their readers, Just as we come to expect light from the flick of a switch or water from the turn of a tap, so do most of us take for granted that our news- paper will arrive at a certain time each day. Which is as it should be, for it means our newspaper carriers are doing their job well. The Osharwn Tianes T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

And so it is with the newspaperboy. Is he so important? Is he a lad with a future? Is he a "young busi- nessman" as the saying is, a boy learn- ing through daily experience the first lessons in the intricate, arduous, but rewarding life of the man in business? Let us see. He is a boy with ambition; other- wise he would be home or playing on the next door lot instead of going from door to door delivering your newspaper. He is a boy with the will, the strength, and the urge to achieve; otherwise he would not be serving you faithfully, as he is. He is a boy of character; otherwise you could not depend upon him. You would not look for your paper "on the dot" as you do.-- and almost always be justified in your expecta- tions. He is a boy looking ahead. He is a boy with maturing values. It is not just the job that he wants. It is not the money alone that he takes out of his work. He is a boy with a man's understanding of the things that count in life. These are the reasons. why we salute today's newspaperboys as to- morrow's leaders, They are the vital link between the newspaper and its readers, UNITED KINGDOM OPINION - Polls Say Conservatives -- : Regaining Public Favor By M- McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) servative Party is moving back into public favor.

It might. become possible to re- place human hearts and other organs, and hands, arms and legs. A few years ago such thoughts might be gleaned straight from the science-fiction stories. Great success in surgery in recent years has removed suc! thoughts from the realm of sci- ence-fiction and put them into the areas of realism and belief. It is something to think about! How often can one pair of trans- planted eyes be passed -along from one person to another? Is it possible that eyes looking at the world today will be looking over the world 1,000 years hence? If means are found to take hearts from dead persons and "install" them in other human bodies how many gener- ations will one heart serve? Will the day come when medical sci- ence is able to "rebuild" the human body with used parts from other bodies? Will organs be removed .from younger bodies to older bodies to keep man alive for 200 years or 300 years? Time tells all -- but time is not yet ready to reveal its an- swers to the questions, TIMMINS PRESS: There are folk who no doubt look upon gov- ernment blue books as rather forbidding documents, They have the feeling the contents are chiefly pages of statistics sup- plemented by explanatory mat- ter couched in some dry reading form. That is not always the case, as witness the subject covered by a report on the ad- ministration of the Emergency Gold Mining Assistance Act. The facts and figures are there, of course, and they should be of interest to those Canadians who make their homes in, and derive their livelihoods from operations in gold mining camps. There may, perhaps, be a tendency to think of this volume as dealing almost ex- clusively with established com- panies of considerable stature in. the Canadian economic realm, producing gold by the thousands of ounces, That is true, up to a point.

They may be in. full agree- ment with the Fund itself and realize how much it benefits so many children in other parts of the world. What they don't seem to understand is why children are collecting for UNICEF -- and on Hallowe'en at that. When the United Nations Chil- @ren's Fund (UNICEF) was first established, the intent was that ft would be financed by donations from member govern- ments of. the United Nations. However, fund-raising on a pub. lic level began when the pupils of a Sunday School class in the United States decided to give meaning and purpose to their Hallowe'en by collecting, not just for themselves, but for other less-fortunate children in the world, through UNICEF. gical The idea caught on and grew until last year hundreds of thous- hout ands of children in Canada participated in the "Hallowe'en Com- for UNICEF" program and col- China is.

He is the chap who turns out the lights that are not being used. BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO A: E. Garbutt, supervising principal of Oshawa Public Schools, was elected president of the South Ontario Teachers' Institute, at its annual conven- tion in Port Perry. Mrs, A. J. Stalter, of Oshawa, was elected treasurer of the Provincial WCTU at the 45th an- nual convention. R. S. McLaughlin and W. H. Moyse left to visit the General Motors shows in Europe. Alexander MacKenzie, pioneer settler for almost 90 years on his father's farm in East Whitby Township, had served over 50 vears as secretary-treasurer of he school built on a section of the farm. Winner of the Williams Piano Company golf trophy was F. W. Bull. Second and. third place went to Robert Henderson and A; E. Christian respectively. Seventy-five percent of the total amount of the towns year- ly taxes had been. paid up to October 10. As reported by A. H. James, tax collector, the total amount collected was $250,- 685.96. Following open speeches by George W. McLaughlin and Charles W. Bishop, a YMCA membership drive got underway in Oshawa. One hundred work- ers, under the leadership of C. E. McTavish, were set to can- vass the district. The Oshawa Branch of the Red Cross Society announced that $1,300 was raised by the local citizens for fire victims of Northern Ontario. Rev. H. T. Lewis, of Saskat- chewan and former pastor of Simcoe Street Church, was a guest preacher at the church, following the General Confer- ence in Toronto. Brig. L. Prescott and Capt. I. Fround, of the Salvation Army, were Oshawa delegates attend- -- annual Congress in To- ronto. ' At a meeting of the Oshawa Indoor Baseball League execu- tive, 14 teams were reported having entered the league fo the season.

In 1961, the largest single donation to UNICEF came from the Hal- lowe'en collections and the sale of Christmas cards. That small Sunday School class deserves full credit for picking such a worthy cause as UNICEF 'to help transform an otherwise pointless and indulgent occa- sion, The important thing to re- member is that all these chil- dren volunteered to share their Hallowe'en with UNICEF and to do so they had to have some knowledge, however small, of UNICEF and the United Na- tions. It is this aspect 'of the program which justifies allow- ing so many children to be come involved. By doing som- thing for UNICEF they are learning about UNICEF which in time, leads to a _ greater knowledge of and concern 'for other people in the world. "Love Thy Neighbor" is not only a commandment of the Christian church, it is common to all the foremost religions in the world and few could argue against teaching this concept to - our children. If the money alone were important, it could be col- lected far more easily than by involving thousands of chil- dren, May we repeat, this is a vol untary program and it does not detract from Hallowe'en- The children still dress up and visit the homes in their neighborhood asking for treats. The differ- ence is that in offering a UNICEF carton for pennies, in effect they are saying, "Give me a little less in treats and put coins in this box to help children in other lands who are not as lucky as I am." 135 SIMCOE ST.
