f i ; Economic Development -- | Board As Planning Body. i | \ | Picker! * Albert, Bye Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, PEBRUARY 26, 1963--PAGE 6 A few days ago we referred to a speech by R. M. Fowler in which he called for the "toning up of a whole industrial society" if Canada is to maintain and improve its liv- ing standards and not settle back to lower levels. Mr. Fowler's proposi- tion is worth some thought. He points out that the "toning up" cannot be done by one company or even a large industry working alone. It must be a co-ordinated, co- operative effort by all elements in the nation, public and private, gov- ernment, management and labor, agriculture and the professions -- in short, it must be planned. He thinks the planning instru- ment could be the National Econo- mic Development Board. He said: "The new National Economic Development Board can do much if it is manned and staffed by men who conceive their role as that of educators not only of the govern- ment but also of all private groups in the nation; the co-ordinators of economic thinking at all levels in the Canadian economy; the encour- agers of experimentation and inno- vation; the not-so-hidden persuaders of the long view rather than the short view." He goes on: "The goals must be defined -- in other words, there must be planning ahead. And there must be freedom to all economic segments of the nation, industry, labor, agriculture and the rest, to .choose and adapt and experiment in achieving the defined national goals . . By co-operative, co- ordinated planning of the economy There are no members of Par- | liament now, because there is no. | Parliament. The 25th Parliament \ was dissolved last month, and the { 26th will not come into being until after the April 8 election. There is still a government, however, be- cause the members of the cabinet remain at their jobs until they are fired or resign. Michael Starr, for example, is no longer an MP, but he remains as Minister of Labor. The cabinet minister can be fired by the Prime Minister or by the people, who may vote his party out of office in a general election. But if his party wins the general election, while he is defeated in his own constituency, he may remain in office, but without a seat he can- not stay in the ministry indefinitely. British constitutional authority Ivor Jennings says the whole system is founded not on laws but on prac- tice. The Ottawa Journal add that "neither in Canada nor in Britain is there a specified limit to the per- fod for which a defeated minister may remain in his office. But neither a prime minister nor his de- feated minister is prepared to face 'the public and parliamentary clamor which woiuld arise if a man clung to his office unreasonably." Ministers can be appointed to the cabinet without holding a seat in either the Commons or the Sen- ate. The Prime minister can re- commend anyone he wishes for a cabinet post -- a fact for which Mr. Diefenbaker may now be thankful, with his old cabinet melting away-- but if the person recommended is She Osharon Fines T.

Unless we can create for our system new techni- ques and institutions we will be doomed to accept the ad hoc ex- pedient and will never achieve the longer-range view of our problems. There are two dangers in the . planning program. One is the pro- blem of achieving a proper balance in the economic planning body -- "T have no doubt at all of the ability of organized labor and agriculture to turn up competent and accepted spokesmen to represent ments of the economy," Mr. Fowler observed, "but I am less sure that business will be able to have repre- sentatives on the planning body who can speak clearly and vigorously for management." oe Then there is the fundamental question: Who controls the plan- - ners? Mr, Fowler's solution would be to have a member of the cabi- net responsible for economic plan- ning, and also use the Senate as a control --. "'a reconstituted Senate including a body of experts could exercise effective surveillance over the whole process of economic plan- ning and bring it within our parlia- mentary system." The ideas presented are sketchy, but at least they can in- spire constructive discussions, in-. stead of the stale mumbling of the old vague proprosals that now comes from too many of our poli- ticians, Votes And Ministers not a Senator, he is expected to seek election within a reasonable time, and if rejected by the voters, to make way for someone else. It will be recalled that Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton was sworn in as Minister of National Defence in November, 1944, and remained in the cabinet until August, 1945, without holding a Commons seat, He tried twice for election, but was defeated both times in by-elections, The Journal adds that a Sena- tor named to the cabinet stays a minister so long as his party wins and his prime minister wants him, Stripped of his cabinet post, he re- mains a senator. While he is a minister, of course, he must remain in the Senate; he cannot enter the Commons to defend his depart- mental policies and _ procedures, which puts him in an awkward po- sition at times but a comfortable one at others -- the Senate can also serve as a sort of storm cellar. Un- able to sit in the Commons, too, is the minister who has not won a seat: only the elected members can sit there and take part in the debates; the seatless minister can only do his talking at cabinet meetings or outside the House. Other Editors' Views MOURNING NO GOOD (Ottawa Citizen) Britain and the United States -- and Canada if we can discard our present confused leadership -- must now make new policies. New ways must be found for expanding trade and strenghthening the bonds be- tween the democracies. It will be much harder with the British severed from Europe, but no doubt it can be done.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- This incident hap- pened on a cold and raw wintry day, with the temperature well below freezing, and the ground covered with packed snow to make it as immovable as ice. On Soho Square, in the heart of London, the birds which fre- quent the squire were huddled in groups. There was no hope of digging through the hard snow to find any food on the frozen surface underneath. They presented a pitiful picture to any bird-lover who happened to see : Such a person was Miss Rina Bondonno, a Soho restaurant- owner whose premises face on to Soho Square. She saw the hungry birds and went to her YOUR HEALTH Torus Could Form In Roof Of Mouth By. JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What would a growth or lump back in the roof of the mouth mean? It is like bone or a hardened gum. I don't know if it is growing but I just discovered it. I am making myself sick thinking it is cancer.--MRS. H.H. Dear Doctor: It is natural to have something in the roof of the mouth, like a bone? It isn't sore but it seems to be getting larger.--MRS§, M. The same question has come from two readers in far-distant cities. If I were making myself sick, thinking it is cancer, I know what I'd do: I'd go to the doc- ter at once. And in this instance, I could pretty well predict what the answer would be. While obviously can't identify- a lump just from reading about it, I can point out that a torus occasionally forms in the roof of the mouth and toward the back--in the hard palate, to be precise. That is the point at which two bones forming the palate have joined, and sometimes an over- growth of bone occurs there. It isn't cancerous, It's just a quirk of growth. A torus, if the patent has dentures, can be a nuisance by interfering with proper fit of the upper plate. If the lump isn't too large, the plate can be fitted around it, Ordinarily nothing is done about a torus, although in some cases it can be removed sur- gically if size seems to warrant it, Dear Dr. Molner: My daughter, 13, weighs 130 and is only 5 feet 2.

The 22nd amendment to the United States Constitu- tion was ratified 12 years ago today--in 1951--limiting the president to two terms of office or allowing him one full term if he has served two years of his predeces- sor's term. The amendment was ratified during the pres- idency of Harry S, Truman, then serving a full term after succeeding Franklin Delano Roosevelt who died during his fourth term, 1907--A fire at a school in Hochelaga, Que., claimed the lives of 16 students and one teacher. 1876 -- Japan signed a treaty of friendship with Ko- rea. . the local cutting down on sweets. Noth- ing has helped. I think one reason for her weight is that she doesn't get enough exercise. When she comes home from school she does her homework and then sits and watches TV the rest of the day. She really wants to lose weight but can't.--MRS. E.J. She's not just overweight. She's obese. Fat. Cutting down on sweets ob- viously is not the answer. She should eliminate them entirely. It won't hurt her. She should have 8 balanced diet, high on protein, vegetables, fruit and milk (skim milk, I'd say), and limited. in starchy foods, fats and sugar in al' forms. And no between-meal snacks except, if she wants to chew something, carrot sticks, celery or such. I can't accept the assertion that she 'really wants to lose weight," unless she changes her eating habits radically. Nor does sitting in front of TV indicate any desire to lose weight. I'd make a rule that the set isn't to be turned on until she has had at least dn hour of brisk exercise every afternoon. Even an hour of fast walking (not just strolling) every day will help. Skating, riding a bike, basketball, swimming or other sports would be even better. 'feathered apartment, broke up a. loaf of bread into crumbs and went out to feed the birds, but she quick- ly found that she was breaking two laws by feeding the hungry birds on Soho Square. She was violating the Litter Act and the Westminster City Council's by- laws. Here is Miss Bondonno's story, as she told it: LIKE A CRIMINAL "I was made to feel like a crim: because I threw some bre crumbs down for the starving birds. "It was mid-afternoon when I saw them, so I wem to my apartment on Old Compton street and got some bread to feed them. The grass was cover- ed deep in snow, but the paths had been cleared, so I threw the crumbs down on one of the paths, Immediately hundreds of starving pigeons and sparrows swooped down on the food. "Just at the same time a park-keaper shouted at me across the garden. He said I was breaking the law and mak- ing his task more difficult. Then he followed me around, sweep- ing.up the crumbs into a shovel. He' threatened to call a police- mah. "The snow was several inches deep, and the birds were raven- ous. It seems absolutely wicked to me that there should be laws and regulations forbidding peo- ple to feed them." NO SYMPATHY There has been general agree- ment with the views expressed by this good lady who was carrying out what she felt to be an act of mercy towards her friends on Soho Square, but there was little sympathy for her -- or the birds -- in the minds of the West- minster council parks depart- ment officials. A spokesman for them said: "I understand the lady's feel- ings, but if everyhody threw down bread for the: birds, the gardens would get into an awful state. .In fact, we have already prosecuted offenders ih extreme cases." He did unbend enough to say that perhaps the park-keeper might have been a little over- zealous on this occasion, "But," he added, "he has to carry out his orders." So bird-lovers had better be- ware about letting their sym- pathies get the better of them in the City of Westminster. Feeding starving birds by throwing crumbs to them might well result in a substantial fine being imposed, ' _ BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Leon E.

The start of the 1963 shipping Season on the seaway route from the Atlantic to the Lake- head will focus new attention on the uncertain prospects of early labor peace on the water- front. A plan of action to resolve some of the deeply rooted prob- lems in maritime labor will be advanced by Mr, Justice T. G, Norris in his report on the re- sults of his intensive investiga- tion of the violence, strife and disruption that have troubled shipowners and sailors in re- cent years, With 99 public 'sessions be- hind him, the British Columbia jurist resumes his one-man in- quiry here March 4 in a bid to push it through to an early con- clusion. Canada's biggest shipowner-- McLagan of Canada Steamship Lines--is slated to testify at the March hearing about his labor relations. with Hal C. Banks of the Seafarers' International Union of Canada. 'SWEETHEART DEALS' He will enter the witness box to give evidence on what other witnesses claim have been "sweetheart deals" between CSL and the burly boss of the SIU in Canada. Other winesses scheduled to appear include Norman Reoch, former general manager of CSL who set up his own ship- ping company and, sooaint to evidence, has had an easy time with the SIU. Once all the evidence is on the record--perhaps by mid- March--Mr, Justice Norris will hear final arguments and rec- ommendations from the inter- ested parties, After that, he will wind up his inquiry and begin formulating his own recommen- dations to the government. He will have one eye on the general election April 8, which could put another government, and a different labor minister, into power. His other will pote age yr No Beye | séason and the pressing n for early action to bring indus- 'trial peace to the waterfront. In the centre of the contro- versy is barrel-chested Harold Chamberlain Banks, 54, Ohio- born president of the SIU in Canada and one of this coun- try's most controversial labor leaders. MAY ASK DEPORTATION . The executive council of the Canadien Labor Congress meets this week to figure out what to recommend to Mr. Justice Nor- tis. Proposals under considera- tion range from ap jamentary action to deport Mr. Banks and destroy the SIU, to milder . forms of legislative curbs on the marine union. In weighing its policy, the congress has to step warily for fear of proposing action which, like Pandora's box, might un- leash precedents that could haunt organized labor later. The CLC kicked the SIU out in 1960 for raiding another union's membership. Relations then 'went from bad to worse. When an old associate of Mr. Banks, Liverpool-born Michael Sheehan, a former SIU patrol- man, broke with the SIU and offered to testify against it, the lid was lifted off cme of the most sensationanl labor stories in decades. The 1,050,000 - member CLA, central body for organized la- bor, set_up a new seamen's union, the Canadian Maritime Union, to try to oust Mr. Banks and the SIU from the Great Lakes. BOYCOTT IN U.S. The opening clash between the Seafarers' union and its in- fant rival came in April, 1962, when the CMU gained bargain- ing rights for some 450 sailors aboard ships of Upper Lakes Shipping Limited, second-rank- ing marine operator on the Great Lakes. Texts In Eskimo School Portray Alien Culture CAMBRIDGE BAY, N.W.T. (CP)--How are you going to teach an Eskimo child from a book about a zoo, a milkman, traffic lights or horses when he has never seen them? This is a problem faced by principal Bill Pyle, 25, and his teacher-wife Maureen, 24, at the Cambridge Bay school, a green frame structure with two classrooms where all but six of the 43 students ranging from Grade 1 to 6 are Eskimos. Aside from the fact the Es- kimo children begin school with textbooks and a curriculum de- picting an alien world, they usually have no knowledge of English. Because of the language prob- lem, Mr. and Mrs, Pyle concen- trate on English regardless of the subject being taught. 'We get them to look at pic- tures and repeat words over and over again," says Mrs. Pyle. And while children from southern communities in Can- ada readily grasp the basic idea in the books, the subjects are as strange as something on the far side of the moon for. Eski- mos. "With the Eskimos you have to build the vocabulary, then concepts," says Mr. Pyle. "Then you aer ready for. the lesson." The principal doesn't feel white children are held back because of the extra time spent with the Eskimos, Since a num- ber of grades are taught simul- taneously, students can be "moved ahead at their own rate. "We try to have all the chil- dren work at peak level," he says. After Grade 6 the students go either to Inuvik or Yellowknife for further schooling. But the principal expects only about one-sixth of the Eskimo chil- dren to go on. It won't be until the next generation at least that Eskimo students. will move on to the higher gr-des at about the same rate as whites. The Pyles themselves repre- sent another problem in north- ern education--the high turn- over rate among teachers. Like so many others, they came north to save some money. This summer they will move back to their native Nova Scotia after two years at Cam- bridge Bay. For the fourth time since it was, opened in 1957 the Cam- bridge Bay school will be look- ing for new teachers. Sticks And Blocks Used To Teach Mathematics By DAVID SCOTT WINDSOR, Ont. (CP) -- To- morrow's mathematician may get his preliminary training in figures and equations from pieces of colored sticks of vary- ing lengths. That's how pupils in a: sub- urban Sandwich East Township elementary school are getting acquainted with addition, sub- traction, division, and multipli- cation. The sticks -- in 10 different lengths and colors--are being used in a Grade 2 class at Joan of Arc separate school, as an experiment. They are employed in a method of teaching devel- oped by Belgian Georgs Cuise- naire. ; A similar program -- called Unifix--is in its second year at Gordon McGregor school in Windsor. Instead of sticks, Uni- fix uses blocks of wood that can be fitted together. The princi- ple is the same in each case. AIM AT UNDERSTANDING Both programs reflect the growing trend in mathematics teaching to give pupils time to understand what numbers mean. In this way when a child adds two and three and gets five, he is not merely reciting a memorized formula; he knows what the numbers stand for. Progress may be a little slower at first with the modern approach, but educationists are 'of the opinion the methods' will eventually yield much better re- sults than teaching by rote. And it is quite painless for the young students, The Cuisenaire method, intro- duced to schools in Vancouver and several other communities in Canada in the last few years, employs 10 sticks. ' The first is one centimetre in length, the second two centime- tres and so on up to 10 centime- tres. At the beginning of/ the term the students are given the sticks and allowed to play with them with no direction or explanation from the teacher. Then the child begins to make little "'discoveries" for himself. COLORS ARE KEY Sticks of the same color arf the same length, one orange stick is as long as two yellow sticks. The teacher encourages these discoveries, and gradually channels the children's activity. They find out, for example, that a white and a white are as long as one red (addition); that if a white is 'taken from a red, a white remains, (substrac- tion); that two whites makes a red (multiplication); that a red divided into two parts gives a white (division), and that half a red is a white (fractions). The names of the processes are not used until later. The main purpose of the initial stages of the program is to help the children size relationships of the sticks. La- ter, the understanding is trans- ferred to the number values. As the begin using numbers to represent the sticks, they come to see that one plus one equals two, instead of plac- ing two whites beside a red. Throughout the entire pro- gram, the same emphasis is placed on finding the reasons underlying the various mathe- matical calculations. Mathematics, then, more than memorizing, start to make sense. become and . cotted Upper The SIU, claiming eae Lakes locked out its ae mediately launched a | r- States, headed North American the Seafarers' union.

Fearing disastrous economic repercussions, the government agreed to an inquiry, which Mr. Justice Norris launched last August. : His investigation brought to - light a tough, turbulent world of labor relations, with some of Canada's top shipowners con- fessing. that fears of illegal walkouts had sapped their aay and strengthened the SIU's con. trol of sailing jobs. ' BLACKLISTING CHARGED Hal Banks spent two weeks in the witness box, sweating out an embarrassing investigation into his free-wheeling use of SIU money but stoutly defend. ing his leadership of the union and the gains made for his membership. Charles Dubin, 41 + year - old Toronto lawyer for the inquiry commission, repeatedly de- clared that the history of mar- ine labor has been marred by violence and strife, by big-time union and company power plays--with the ordinary sailor embroiled only as a pawn, the forgotten man. He brought out that some shipowners had abdicated their basic managerial "--" to the tnion, allowing the SIU almost absolute control over hiring, transfers and promotions, He produced evidence that the SIU had maintained a blacklist of seamen, a do-not- ship list that gave the union power to deprive a sailor of his job. The SIU denied that it ex- ercises the power, although it admitted that a list of what ." said were agiators, rverts and Communists was kept for informational purposes, The CLC, which says it is trv- ing to introduce democra'ic and cleen unionism for 'ake sailors, was forced to admit that its hands weren't entirely clean. It agreed that the CMU's first contract with Upper Lake was signed wihout reference to the seamen, justifying the step as the only way to break ch the SIU's dominant posi- on, 'featured at the sensational 16th ANNUAL CANADIAN NATIONAL SPORTSMEN'S SHOW _ EXHIBITION PARK -- TORONTO MARCH 165th - 28rd (exeept Sunday) SEE NORTH AMERICA'S FINEST SPRINGTIME OF HUNT- | ING, FISHING, BOA TRAVEL, CAMPING, COTTAGE AND AUTO EXHIBITS.
