N | She Osanna Snes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1961 -- PAGE 6 Movement Of Industry Big Provincial Problem One can understand the concern that led to the presentation of an auto-workers' brief to the Ontario government last week. Several cities in southwestern Ontario -- Windsor in particular -- have suffered serious losses of industry in recent years, with the resulting losses of assess- ment and jobs and often depreciation of property values." , Premier Robarts has promised to give the brief careful consideration. We hope that he does so, not just so from the viewpoint of the removal of industry from one point to another, but from the broader viewpoint of distribution of industry in general. It is proper that the government take an interest in the movement of a major industry from one city to another; not only is there the obvious effect on the community that suffers the loss, but there will be just as direct an effect on the community that gains the industry, and a less direct but almost as important re- gional effect. It is not logical to expect govern- ment to freeze the location of in- dustry. There are many factors that may make imperative a move from one place to another -- transportation changes, sources of materials, deve- lopments in marketing, even the social and industrial climates of the communities involved. It is possible for a community, by its conduct, to add greatly to the difficulties of in- dustrial operation; while an industry may owe the community an obliga- tion, the community in turn has a certain obligation to its sources of employment. For all that, it is logical in these days of grossly unbalanced urban growth, to expect government to show more leadership than it does in both the location and movement of industry. Referendum In France France votes in still another re- ferendum next Sunday. The theore- tical question is: Should the French constitution be changed to give more authority to the president, to avoid the political chaos that in the past resulted from the division of votes among a multitude of parties. The practical question asked by French politicians is: Will a vote for de Gaulle confirm his dictatorial authority and permanently wreck representative government in France? President de Gaulle, while he is strongly inclined to personal authori- tarianism -- and frequently seems to confuse himself with the Alminghty-- 'also has a deep-seated respect for the parliamentary system. Twice before he could have made himself a virtual dictator, at the end of the Second World War and again in 1958 when the Algerian problem reduced the French government to impotence. He explained in his memoirs: "I would have condemned France to upheavals by claiming to impose my absolute authority officially and for an un- limited period, once the danger which had put it into my hands had vanished." But he has no respect for the French parliamentary tradition, and almost unanimously, are the French politicians. By means of the referen- dum, he is bypassing the politicians to appeal directly to the people. It is clear that what he would like to see would be a two-party system, with a presidential office somewhat after the fashion of the American model. But the French have never shown any liking for the political dis- cipline that such a system requires. And in view of the bitterness of de Gaulle's political opponents, it remains to be seen whether this time he is condemning France to upheavals. Calling Russian Bluff | President Kennedy has wisely re- sisted the hotheads in the United States who would launch a massive attack against Cuba to kick Castro and his Communist friends out of that little island. Cuba at present is No more of a threat to the security of the Unittd States than a war canoe off Esquimalt would be to Canada. Unfortunately, Russia is creating the impression that the U.S. does not dare to move against Cuba be- cause of the Soviet Union threat to use nuclear weapons in the event of an attack on Castro. Why no clear-cut reply from the 'White House, asks Boston's Christian Science Monitor, which calls the threats and lack of a suitable reply a most perplexing enigma." "This Soviet threat is an empty one," says the highly-respected inter- national journal. "The White House knows this. The state department knows this. The Kremlin knows this. Havana knows this. Any reasonably informed student of world affairs 'knows this. They each know there is not the slightest likelihood of the Soviet Union attacking the United States with nuclear weapons -- and thereby inviting its own destruction with similar weapons -- for the sake of an insignificant, chaotically run, She Oshawa Times T.

"Yet at no point has either Presi- dent Kennedy or Secretary of State Rusk publicly and firmly stated. that the Soviet threat in regard to Cuba is identical with the threat it made to launch rockets against London if Britain did not stop its attack against Egypt in 1956. At that time Moscow made its threat only after it had be- come apparent that Britain and France had already decided to end their attack -- in other words, when it was safe to make it. "Unfortunately, since neither the White House nor the state department has seen fit to expose the Sdviet bluff, some individuals, particularly in Latin America, have begun to be- lieve that Moscow meant what it said. "It is time for Washington to stop validating Moscow's game by its in- explicable silence in this matter." Other Editors' Views FACES HARSH CHOICE (Ottawa Citizen) A combination of Western European countries would be big enough to act independently in foreign policy and in industry. But none of its parts can. That is the reality which Mr. Mac- millan faces. Britain can become part of the new combination, and influence its course from within. Alternatively, as Lord Home, the foreign secretary, has indicated, Britain can become an unimportant island off the coast of Europe, an appendage of little conse- quence, dragged along by the giants. Those are the choices. They are harsh. But they cannot be evaded. And the less harsh choice is British entry into, and influence upon, the new Europe.

SORRY-- IT WILL BE A LITTLE WHLE RUSSIA INTRODUCES ITS NEW MODEL REPORT FROM U.K. Power Profitable But Prices Go Up By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Britain's Central Electricity Generating Board is one nationalized industry which is doing remarkably well from a financial point of view. In the annual report for its last year of operations, the chair- man, Sir Christopher Hinton, re- ported a record net profit of approximately $81 million. He reported record sales of electri- city that prices would have to be increased. of around one billion dollars by 1967, and there won't be a penny of it left over. The whole of the extra cash is already earmarked in advance for development. It will be spent on new generating plant, transmission system, de- preciation and research." The objective of the develop- ment plans is to strengthen an over-strained electrical genera- tion and distribution system. COST CONSUMER MORE According to the estimates of the Electricity Council, the ini- tial increase to the domestic is likely to work out Hint, Sir Christoph , in an- nouncing this paradoxical situa- tion, stressed the fact that his organization has to meet the cost of an enormous capital in- vestment program over the next five years, and is determined to meet it from the board's reven- ues and profits. ALL EARMARKED In his viewpoint, Sir Christo- her is given strong backing by rofessor Ronald Edwards, the new chairman of the Electricity Council. He said: "We are aiming at a surplus at about 1 cents a week on the electricity bill. In some sections of the coun- try, however, the increase has already gone into effect. The South-East, Merseyside and North-Western Boards have put up their prices some time ago to meet the capital investment program costs. Yorkshire and the Midlands will be the next districts to follow suit. By 1964, all of the other regional elec- tricity boards will have taken similar action. And even then, these rises in consumer rates YOUR HEALTH Poison Ivy Calls For Early Action By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD Some readers may wonder why this article is appearing at this time of year. Read on; you'll see. Dear Doctor: Every summer J have poison ivy, not once, but time after time. I live right across from fields that have a lot of it. I am diabetic and can't take additional shots.--I. K. Various preparations are available to prevent or alleviate such poisoning. These should be started two to three months before the "ivy season," which means starting them by the end of winter. Where warm weather comes early, it might mean starting the ivy treatment by Christmas or thereabouts. For city dwell- ers who don't get out in the poison ivy areas until the Fourth of July or later, April could be soon enough- But keep this firmly in mind: These preparations should not be taken when one has an actual case of poison. ivy. They would just make the condition worse. argh are 2 preventive, not cura- ve, Af an individual is receiving insulin injections, the ivy treat- ment can be in tablet form. This is not an extremely im- portant distinction -- but when one is having daily injections, it is just as well not to 'use up" too much of the surface areas where the shots can be easily given. Dear Doctor: What do you think of eating a few leaves of poison ivy to make one im- mune? I have done this for three years.and have never had @ severe breaking out. I use yel- low soap to wash after exposure to ivy.--MRS. E. R. The Indians used that method of prevention, but we must ad- mit that their medicine lacked something in precision at times. I have no doubt that at least a few Indians probably wound up with severe ivy rash from this practice. As to yellow soap--the impor- tant thing is to remove the sticky, gummy oil which makes the ivy poison stick. We have often recommended yellow laundry soap because it is strong. But detergents or any- thing that will remove. the sticky stuff quickly and thor- oughly are excellent. Since pills are now available, why risk tampering with the leaves? Dear Dr. Molner: I have low thyroid activity and take pills for it. I have heard that because of this it is very difficult to be- come pregnant. Is this true? Also could this be a more common cause of miscarriage? --MRS. A. M. Not necessarily true. Taking thyroid extract or equivalent medication, if needed, often en- hances fertility in both women and men. Low thyroid activity, without treatment, can be one of severai possible causes for miscarriage. Lis { the LIGHTEST WHISKY in tht world... Cs, Canadian could be followed by other in- creases. UNEXPECTED BOOM . In analyzing the need for in- creased rates to provide develop- ment capital, Sir Christopher Hinton said that the unexpected boom in demand for electric power had left the industry short of generating plants of suf- ficient capacity. It would take at least until 1967 to remedy this situation. Sir Christopher hit out boldly at people who, he claimed, were holding back the development program by preventing the building of new power stations and transmission 'lines. He mentioned in particular holdups at Harrogate, in the Stoke and Crewe areas, and in parts of Birmingham. These delays, he said, were due to ob- jections. about construction of necessary facilities from local authorities and private landown- ers. The Electricity Council's re- port for the year ended March 31, 1962, shows that 6.9 per cent of the farms in England and Wales are connected to supply mains -- 1 months ahead of schedule -- and that 96 per cent of all other rural premises are also now receiving and utilizing electricity. aE gBSSe7e Tae et eu S are (if Hi HES : i i i | | { | i * Fg = i aye i "i i Big : : i i rt i aL i er ifall : rE 8 i | Hf ne Ht BY-GONE DAYS -- 20 YEARS AGO A.
