The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30. 1962 -- PAGE 6 Picture Of Industrial Power On Broad Base The traditional view that Canada's economy depends largely on the pro- duction of primary products and on the export of food and industrial materials in a relatively unprocessed form is no longer strictly accurate. ° The current business review of the Bank of> Montreal points out that while "Canada's natural resources re- main, and will continue to be, the foundation for its wealth ... the possibilities for promoting healthy and sustained economic growth, and - for adapting commercial policy to the new international environment, have been immeasurably enhonced by subs- tantial growth and diversification of the industrial base." Measured by the industrial produc- tion index -- which records changes in volume, not value -- Canada's total industrial output showed an over -- all increase of about 73 per cent be- * tween 1949 and 1961, although an- nual rates have varied widely from year to year. There have, of course, been wide variations in the rates of growth of individual industries. The expansion of some industries, such as those producing non-durable goods, is closely related to the popu- lation growth and income levels, the bank notes. Thus, in the period 1949- 61, when Canadas population rose 85 per cent and estimated real income per capita went up almost a quarter, the output of non-durable rose just over 50 per cent. In the same period, industries manufacturing durable goods rose slightly less, reaching a peak in 1956 and still somewhat be- low that level last year. Throughout, the application of very large capital sums has been funda- mental. The review says: "This in- vestment in plant, machinery. and equipment, together with technologi- cal advances and an icreasingly skilled labor force, have resulting in subs- tantial gains in productivity ... In sum, the picture that emerges ... is one of expansion, diversification and growing efficiency, providing a broad base of industrial strength as a foun- dation future economic growth." Training Of Hunters Ontario hunters are being trained at the rate of 15,000 a year in the safe and proper use of firearms. This is under Hunter Safety Training Program, in which the Ontario depart- ment of lands and forests and mem- bers of fish and game clubs and other interested organizations are co- operating. It is difficult to assess the effect of the program so far on hunt- ing accidents, violation of the game laws and relations with landowners. Not enough time has passed since the program was instituted. But it should bear worthwhile results in the years to come, as the numbers of educated hunters increase. This fall it is estimated that 120,000 deer hunters and 50,000 moose hunt- ers will have been in the field by the end of the season, Add to these the numbers of bird and small game hunt- ers, and the need for a safety program becomes obvious, even without the almost daily reports of accidents, many of them fatal. Always The Another land-sale scandals is break- ing in Florida. Better Business Bureau officials in the United States have warned that more than $2 billion may have been bilked from unwary pur- chasers by unscrupulous promoters who take advantage of the natural desire of people to spend their final years in a'pleasant climate on a bit of land they can call their own. The method is to advertise the sale of lots at something like $10 down and $5 a month for a period of years. Some of the offers are genuine, but others are not -- the land they offer is worthless. It would not be surprising that similar frauds are being perpetrated in such states as Arizona and Oregon. It is surprising, however, that people still fall for the ancient land-sale swindle, and keep on paying for lots that they have never seen. There seems to be a streak of innocence in a great many people that nothing can eradicate. Sometimes the innocence is com- pounded with superstition. In Ham- ilton last week, for example, a busi- nessman was "charmed" out of $343 She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Pubflisher C.

Last year there were 22 fatalities among the 126 accidents reported. The law demands that a person going hunting for the first time must successfully complete a course in hunting safety. Unfortunately, the law is often breached. In the Parry Sound district recently one lad, hunt- ing without a licence, shot himself through the hand when he fell while running with a loaded rifle with a defective trigger mechanism. A de- partment official commented grimly: "In that moment he taught himself several of the rules which most other 15-year-olds were learning the danger of improper gun handling in the same way. One shot the other in the leg with a rifle lacking a trigger guard. The hunting safety course teaches that guns without trigger guards are to be avoided like the plague." Gullible while employees looked on. The swindle occurred while the charmer, a@ woman, and her victim stood in a darkened corner of his store, with the woman running her hands over' the man's clothing while she muttered weird incantations. The swindle began when the woman made a small purchase at the man's store, then offered to read his palm. This done, she blessed his wallet, which had $1 in it, being careful to hand back the wallet with the money still in it. She then asked if there was any other money which needed bless- ing. Taken to the firm's safe she blessed $343 which he handed back to the owner with the suggestion that he put it safely in his pocket. There followed the weird rite in the store's dark corner. When it was over, of course, the man did not have his $343. It seems that no swindle is too far- fetched when the swindle can tap the rich vein of gullibility that runs through most of us, Other Editors' Views THANKS TO THE BEES (BBC London Letter) Bees, those ancient providers of honey and wax with a multitude of uses, are also indirectly responsible for a common word in the English language -- "sincerely" (and its var- iants in a number of European langu- ages). In classical times some sculptors used to cover up mistakes in their work with bleached beeswax. But, of course, the best artists would not stoop to such a practice and prided themselves that their statues were executed sine cera -- the Latin for 'without wax.' Everyone ending a letter with the convenient phrase "Yours sincerely" should say a word of thanks to the bees. A REPORT FROM U.K. Recognition Won By Wood-Carver By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Job Kekana, 45 years old, and a native of South- ern Rhodesia, is rapidly com- ing to the fore as an artist in wood-carving. Living with his wife who came to England with him two years ago, in a bed. sitting-room in Wexford Road, Balham, he is a student of the Sir John Cass School of Art in South London. There he is train- ing to perfect an art which he developed as a five-year old boy. He then lived in a village in the North Transvaal in Africa, and found his chief recreation in cutting -small branches from trees and carving them into in- tricate head shapes. So well were they made, with a 15-inch *piece of barrel hoop sharpened on a stone, that his whole life was changed. His work attract- ed the attention of the super- intendent of the local church mission. He felt that in young Joe Kekana there was talent to be developed, and arrangements were made for him to have f training. YOUR HEALTH So well did he progress that in 1954 Job was chosen to carve the mace for the ceremony in which the Rhodesian Federation came into existence. When his student days in Lon. don are over, Mr. Kekana plans to return to Southern Rhodesia to carry on his art there. At present, he is working on a five- foot figure of Christ which has been commissioned by an Angli- can church in Nepal. Job Kekana is a modest in- dividual, and tells his story with reticence. "As a boy in the tiny village of Potgietersrust, I spent much of my time decorating walking sticks, taking them to the near- est town and selling them," he said, '"'but my specialty was the carving of heads from trees, I must have made hundreds of them and of course sold them _ the money was always use- It was a few years before teachers at the village school showed any interest. Then they told the superintendent. showed some of the heads to e: perts and they were impressed." - No Easy Way Out For Chance-Takers By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Today's article is dedicated expressly to millions of teen-age girls. A certain proportion of them, after having engaged in affairs, write letters to me such as the following: Please answer as soon aS pos- gible. 1 What is the only way to become pregnant? 2. Does a woman always become sick (regurgitate or throw up) at the first of a pregnancy? 3. Is it possible to continue menstruat- ing and still be pregnant? 4. What effect will quinine pills have on a baby? In this case I even omit in- itials. Almost any pair of initials except perhaps X.X, would fit some, or many, girls. They all might as well have some straight answers. 1. The only way pregnacy oc- curs is for one sperm (out of millions) to attach itself to one ovum in the female. The sperm has some ability at locomotion. It can move through the fluid of a mucous membrane. 2. Only about 10 per cent of women have "morning sickness" early in pregnancy. 3. Menstruation after preg- mancy has begun is most un- likely, but is not absolutely im- possible. "Spotting" is not in- frequent, however. 4. There's an old wives' tale that quinine will hasten the birth of a baby. At most it would be only a matter of a day or there- abouts. It would do so then only if a big enough dose should be taken so as to bring about a substantial shock to the mother's system. Therefore any speeding up could occur only at the risk of grave danger to mother and child. If, as I suspect, this already haywire idea has been twisted into the belief among worried youngsters . that quinine can cause a miscarriage, let's get rid.of that idea now. There isn't any "easy way" to end a pregnancy short of sur- gical intervention--in such ex- ceptional cases as may war- rant that. Quinine, for other drugs which are so glibly discussed by the "wiseguys" -- and "wisegirls" --don't work short of being taken in such extreme doses that the pregnant girl is literally running the risk of fatal or crip. pling poisoning. Ad even then the drug usually fails. There is no drug, even the dangerous ones, which can do this. I am quite aware of the pres- sures, both physical and social, which lead girls to "take a chance." Since nature has ar- ranged that pregnancy can oc- cur only at certain times in the female cycle, many girls get @way with it. But there is no absolute means of knowing what the "certain times" are. The result is lots-of girl who think, and perhaps thoughtlessly blab, that they "know" what to do. The result also is our huge total of unwed mothers. I'm not a moralizer. I'm a doctor. I can't say much more to these girls: If you're preg- nant, you're pregnant. Don't ask for an easy way out, afterward, because there is none. Dear Dr. Molner: On my phy- sicians's advice I have been tak. ing 10 aspirin tablets a day to relieve arthritis. Will there be any adverse effect? My doctor said to keep taking them indefi- nitely --C.L.L. There's no reason to fear ad- verse effects from this amount. Note to R.W: Sorry but rabies is a serious problem, and I cer- tainly can't say it is rare. We had 3,470 cases in the United States last year, and 3,457 the year before. At this time, Job Kekana was stricken by an illness which caused the loss of one eye. "Eventually," he went on, "TI went off to a college in Peters- burg where my tutor was a nun named Sister Pauline. She was not professionally qualified to teach me carving, but her guid- ance was inspiring." When sister Pauline. was transferred to Northern Rho. desia, Job followed her there, to continue his training. She died shortly before he took on the most important task of his career -- the carving in Rho- desian Teak of the mace for Federation. "Nyasaland gave the wood. It was turned by a Northern Rho- desian, and I carved it on be. half of Southern Rhodesia," he said, Two years ago, Job and his wife left their home in Rusape, 100 miles from Salisbury. Then he came to England, and be- gan advanced studies to help him become a master of his craft. "I knew I still had a lot to learn and still have," he says. "One day we will go back to Rusape and I will set up in business as a free-lance artist-- in carving." BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO The enrolment in night classes at the OCVI was 593. Stenog- raphy and typing had the larg- est number of pupils. Four Oshawa girls, Mary Ris- tow, Frances Jones, Helen Van- Zant and Mary Thompson, having raised a sum of money for the Milk for Britain Fund, were presented with a Cer- tificate of Recognition. Two local district bus lines, lines, the Bowmanville - Osh- awa - Whitby and the Oshawa- Columbus-Port Perry, made use of Oshawa's new Gray Coach Bus Lines Terminal, located on Prince : street. The Eniskillen Community Hall was officially opened by Ray R. McLaughlin, of Oshawa, son of the late George W. Mc- Laughlin. Premier Mitchell F, Hepburn announced his retirement as Premier of Ontario and Attor- ney -:General- Gordon D. Co- nant, KC, of Oshawa, was named to succeed -him, PS Mrs. Mabel Mayne of the Ladies' Auxiliary, No. 27 of the UAW, Oshawa, was named sec- retary for the Canadian region- It was the first time a Canadian woman was made a represen- tative on the Co-ordinating Board of the International UAW Auxiliaries. The anual _ interdenomina- tional school for leaders spon- sored by the Oshawa Bragch of the Ontario Religious Education Council, opened its session with an enrolment of 38, under the leadership of Rev. E. H. Mc- Lellan, rector of Holy Trinity Anglican Church. OTTAWA REPORT Speed Of Crisis Startles Ottawa By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Surely President Kennedy didn't give the stock markets of the Western world a bad case of jitters just to assist the election of a few Democrats to Congress? " That was the first astonished reaction on Parliament Hill last Monday morning, when specula- tions were blooming from the fertile soil of the announcement that the president would make an emergency broadcast to the U.S: people that evening. . Nobody here could pinpoint any sufficiently dire new crisis. Whatever it was, it had sud- denly blown up out of a sky which, if not of cloudless blue, was at least not unseasonable for the Cold War. The Sunday press of course does not exist in Canada. But leading New York and London Sunday papers alike had carried no hint of sudden new crisis. MEDICA CAMOUFLAGE The Sunday Times of New York did report that President Kennedy had suddenly cut short his 'grueling three - day cam- paign trip," and flown from Chi- cago back to Washington be- cause he was "suffering from a cold', To reassure his fellow campaigners and countrymen, the tough pioneer of the New Frontier asserted at the airport: "I don't feel too badly; this is only precautionary." Another Sunday Times--that of 'London--went further, diag- nosing that the rheumy presi- dent would go to bed when he returned to Washington. It de- scribed how "the excitement was noticeably dying down' in Washington after the spate of totally unproductive Soviet- American talks. British opinion, it said, re- mained firm that the Berlin deadlock is unbroken and un- breakable." It added that Ken- nedy "has his own good reasons for wanting to contrive the im- pression of imminent trouble'-- (there come those Democratic candidates for Congress again) --and it remarked in passing that "American public opinion may be ruffled by the sight of British ships plying to Cuba with Communist cargoes". On Monday the morning pa- pers in central Canada, and in- deed nearly all of the mid-day "evening" papers carried no reference linking Cuba with a new crisis. Realistically the Quebec City Chronicle Tele graph typically headlined on its front page '"India-China border battle continues." The Pem- © broke Observer made this its main story under the headline 'Reds move in tanks'; jue among the papers I saw, GOOD SHOWING BRANDON, Man.

Martin who had spent the week. end at his riding nearby. He brought the news to Parliament Hill, somewhat in the fashion that an Indian scout might have brought tidings of the war beats of the tom-toms two centuries ago to this isolated encampment. Thus from Monday mid-day on, gossip and speculation in the corridors built up, until a soberly. thoughtful 'audience lis- tened to the president's broad- cast at 7 p.m. Then shortly after 8 p.m. Prime Minister Diefen- baker interrupted the normal business of the House of Com- mons to make a short explana- tory statement and "'to ask Ca- nadians as well as free men everywhere in the world to keep calm." Mr, Diefenbaker also made the trenchant suggestion that the allegations of a build-up of Russian nuclear-armed mis- siles in Cuba should be checked 7 the eight disarmament neut- held rals.

The Robarts government is now ready to make its big play. You have read by now of the recent cabinet changes. These mark the start. of the government's drive aimed at the next election (which just might come sooner than expected). Over the next few weeks I will make a personal summation of the pros and cons of the position of the government and the oppo- sition parties as they stand to- day on the eve of this election. But for now there is one point to be discussed which is impor- tant. It is: the position of the ad- vertising industry with the gov- ernment and the P.C, party. HEPED LEADERSHIP The advertising agencies are in deep here today. A group of them were very active in the campaign which won Mr. Robarts the leadership. With the door opened they were sejj quick to move in and take over the easy chairs. And they now represent the chief political advisers to Mr. Robarts. BANK STARES Their efforts to date have met with a lot of scorn from old-line politicians and party men. They say they are amateurs, and three is little question that about politics they are--starry- eyed with their mouths wide open. If you asked one of these men Leonard F. Coul of the Unemployment Insurance and National Selective Service offices at Oshawa, addressed the Whitby Rotary Club. C. C. McGibbon, Oshawa bar- rister, was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Navy _ Veteran's Reserve.
