arr he Oshawa Zines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JUNE 24, 1963 -- PAGE 6 [ , Robatts Gains Stature After Quebec Triumph Reports from Quebec continue to stress the amazing impact made by Ontario's Premier Robarts on the opinion-makers of the old pro- vince during his recent visit to Quebec City. There does not seem to be any doubt that if Quebeckers were asked today to express their preference among Conservative leaders, Mr. Robarts would be their overwhelming choice. And this de- velopment could have important na- tional implications. Mr. Robarts has, until now, not been a political figure of national importance. Indeed, until earlier this year his image was rather vague even in his home province. But it ~ seems that he was not vague at all to the Quebec newspapermen who listened to him speak in their pro- vincjal capital; they were joyfully surprised by his perception of Que- bec aspirations and by his position on federal-provincial relations -- surprised and gratified that such perception was shown by the big- gest, richest and most populous of the "English" provinces. The Quebec triumph has started the inevitable speculation about the possibility of Mr. Robarts' seeking the national Conservative leader- ship. The Ontario premier has been fairly quiet on the subject, in- dicating that he has all he can handle -- for the present -- in On- tario. He does indeed have his hands full in this province, with a gen- eral election to be fought, probably this fall. If he wins a handy victory in that election, however, his na- tional stature will grow; he could be a very attractive figure to the Ontario-Quebec Conservatives who have become disenchanted with Mr. Diefenbaker. A year ago George Hees was the obvious heir-apparent to the Con- servative throne; he forfeited that position during last January's abor- tive putsch. Mr. Diefenbaker has indicated he favors Premier Roblin of Manitoba, and that would be a popular choice in the West. But Quebec Conservatives in particular are suspicious of another party leader from the West, Mr. Diefen- baker having shown a complete inability to recognize their aspira- tions. Public Can Defeat TB Everyone in this district this year has had or will have the oppor- tunity to have a free TB check. Unfortunately, not everyone avails himself or herself of such an op- portunity, and the result is that the disease persists when it should we wiped out. -- Tuberculosis can be defeated and is being defeated, but victory is being delayed by the absurd fears or criminal apathy of the small minority of misguided individuals who fail to be tested. Those who are afraid of the tests have more to fear by not being tested; early discovery of the disease means early recovery -- and almost certain re- ~ eovery when the disease is tuber- eulosis. ~ That improvement in the situation is being hampered is revealed by the fact that one-third of those eligible do not bother to attent TB surveys. Many people over 40 years of age have never been X-rayed. The result isa sustained incidence of the disease -- more Ontario people are going to sanatoria now than 10 years ago. The answer to the problem is not contained in facilities. The number of diagnostic centres in the pro- vince has expanded yearly; there are more chest X-ray facilities; the government has installed machines in 187 of the province's hospitals; referred clinics operate free of charge in 250 centres in Ontario; industrial and community surveys provide free chest X-rays and tuberculin tests. Yet tuberculosis remains the chief killer among communicable diseases including influenza, and 10 per cent of those who. die are diagnosed shortly before, or after death. The answer is found in the at- titude of the public. If the fearful, apathetic or ignorant one third followed the example of the two- thirds who take advantage of the testing services, tuberculosis in On- tario could become as much of a rarity as diphtheria. - US. Views Of Budget The New York Times is generally considered by Canadians to be one « of the few newspapers in the United .. States with a more than superficial understanding of Canadian affairs. , It was a shock, therefore, when the ~ -- - - ~ ne Times showed lack of understand- ing in its criticism of the recent Canadian budget. "Canada," said the Times," is adopting a form of protectionism that represent a retreat to economic nationalism . .. These (U.S.) invest- ments in Canada's future have not constituted a drain on its foreign exchange. It has had difficulty in paying the interest charges on foreign debt because of extensive borrowings by provinces and muni- cipalities for purposes that have produced no tangible earnings . . .

American companies have done nothing to infringe Cana- dian independence, but the Cana- dians appear unconvinced. Their resentment is obvious in the con- trols being sought. But waving the flag of nationalism will not acce- lerate Canada's development ... As the most economically advanced and politically sophisticated of all of the developing nations, Canada has a responsibility to act in a manner that promotes the free flow of capital to speed its own growth rate." A deeper understanding was shown by the Milwaukee Journal, which commented: "It was largely American invest- ment that helped develop Canada's resource industries and generated the postwar boom that led to the current relative high standard of living. But this was not achieved without a price. Canadians have paid out in interest and dividends about $4 billion more than they received. This was a contributing factor to the recent deterioration of the Canadian dollar. Gordon said that absentee ownership is greater in Canada than in any other in- dustrialized country. This has meant that decisions on expansion and location are frequently left to the parent firm. It has meant that decisions affecting Canada's econ- omic well-being are not made in Canada." FIRESIDE CHAT REPORT FROM U.K. Pilots Must Keep _ Watch On Weight By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Pilots in the Royal Air Force and of Britain's air- lines are finding themselves faced with two _ inexorable problems -- their growth in weight and the onset of years. Spurred on by a drive on the part of the ministry of aviation, overweight pilots for the com- mercial British airlines have been ordered to start slimming or be grounded. Sehind 'the min- istry's drive is a determination to reduce the risk of sudden feart attacks disabling pilots while they are flying their air- craft. The airlines are taking this seriously. Already one too-tubby jet captain of British European Airways has been banned from flying, and is now on a strict diet. Others are expected to be grounded until they have slim- med their excess poundage. Starting in September, all pi- lots from countries belonging to the International Civil Aviation Organization will have to have periodical electrocardiograph tests. This is because medical experts have discovered that airline captains are just as sus- ceptible to coronary thrombosis as business executives. The concern of the medical experts was heightened earlier this year when a post-mortem on a British jet pilot, who crash- ed his own private plane, show- ed he died in the air from a heart attack. Veteran million- mile fliers, aged 40 and over, who are most prone to put on weight, will be the main target. Cap'ain R. Preston, 48-year- old flight manager of British European Airways at Manches- ter, after 'submitting himself to a rigorous medical examina- tion, said: "T reckon to keep fit by get- ting in fwo or 'hree rounds of golf a week. Most pilots need exercise because the busier we are the more sitting down we do." An airline doctor commented: "A pilot drives to the airport and is chauffeur - driven to and from his plane. There is almost no exercise in his working day." In the Royal Air Force, the older air pilots will soon be finding that special medical tests - over and above their or- dinary examinations - may be necessary before they have their flying licenses renewed. Talks are now going on at the min- istry of aviation about the older men who are still flying. As yet, no specific new regu- lations have been laid down, but at least one flier who is over 60 years of age has been told that a chest X-ray and a YOUR HEALTH -radiocardiograph will be re- quired in addition to the nor- mal medical tests. Britain still has a number of active private fliers whose ex- perience goes back to the first world war and even before. A Scottish . farmer, John Donald, is believed to be the oldest active flier in the coun- try. He is 75, and began flying in 1918, and he is still a regular competitor in sporting flying events. Cyril Pashley, Britain's oldest flying instructor, started *each- ing people to fly at Shoreham, Sussex in 1911, He is now ap- proaching his 72nd birthday, and actually started flying in gliders in 1908. A famous flier of both world wars and an airline captain in between, Robert McIntosh, is 68 and still flying. He has been flying continuously since he learned in the Royal Flying Corps in 1916, and was one of Britain's earliest airline pi- lots when civil aviation began in 1916. Several Influences On Blood Pressure By JOSEPH G.-MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: I have high blood pressure. Is there. any cure? Or will I have to take pills for the. rest of my life? I also have ringing noises in my ears.--MRS. C. K. High blood pressure is one of several causes of ear noises, The noises won't hurt you, an- noying as they are, but high blood. pressure decidedly can. You haven't told me your age, your weight, or what your doc- tor has observed about your condition, Sometimes the cause of high blood pressure is very difficult, even impossible to trace. Other times it is obvious so that correcting it becomes pos- sible. For a real life case, a 61-year- old woman was almost in a coma when she reached the hospital. She was short but she weighed over 200 pounds. She had great difficulty in breath- ing. She was put on a diet and by the time she had lost 32 pounds, _ BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Work was started on Osh- awa's fourth movie theatre, lo- cated on King street east, west of the Ideal Dairy building. . Miss Alice Heath, Reg. N., graduate of the Toronto East General Hospital, was awarded a scholarship in obstetrics by the board of governors. Oshawa Senior "B" lacrosse team captured second place by defeating Orillia Terriers 10-5. Hilson was a standout scoring three goals. The Amelia Lear scholarship awards at Westmount school were presented by R. A. Hutch- eson to Betty Adams and Lee Johnson in the senior group and Téd Johns and Barbara Jenkins of the juniors. A gaily decorated float depict- ing the various activities of the YWCA was awarded first prize in the annual Rotary Fair pa- rade. Miss Lois White of Oshawa was concert soloist at the Mc- Laughlin Band Shell. C. J. W. Taylor played her accompani- ments. George Russell of the Oshawa Kinsmen Club was appointed Deputy Governor for District Eight of the Association of Kins- men Clubs. Harrison J. Horwich, Oshawa student, graduated in the Facul- ty of Medicine at the University of Toronto. Fifty local army cadets ar- rived at Camp Ipperwash for their annual summer training. Sixty graduates of the Ritson Road school were given a dinner by the Home and School Asso- ciation presided over by Mrs. T. C. Wilson, club president, and J. C. Fetterly, principal. M. F. Kirkland, Vice-prncipal of the, OCVI and Stephen Saywell of the Board of Education were guest speakers. Leonard Coulson, manager of the Oshawa branch of the Em. ployment Service, won an award in recognition for out- standing achievements in em- ployment service field at the annual convention of Inter- national Employment Services. Hayward Murdoch filled the president's office of the Junior Chamber of Commerce for the remainder of the year when President Mel Jolley moved to Hamilton. The annual Decoration Day service sponsored by the Inde- pendent Order of Oddfellow lodges. was held in the Union Cemetery. Rev. W. P. Fletcher conducted the service. her blood pressure dropped from 220-110 to 150-190. She be- came active again and her breathing improved, too. Weight is one cause of high blood pressure. Sometimes kidney defects are at fault, and surgery brings down the pressure. Excessive salt intake can .ag- gravate but does not necessarily cause the condition. Sometimes none of these fac- tors is responsible, and it is im- possible to establish a. specific cause -- yet the pressure re- mains high. In such case medi- cation may be necessary for an extended period of time. Occa- sionally, medication can be stopped and. the pressure re- mains normal. If--and I'm just iffing--your doctor has told you to lose weight, then do so. The result can be extremely important to you. Dear Dr, Molner: I bruise easily, even from a slight bump, Do you think I might be lack- ing something in my diet?-- MRS, R. E. A common reason is lack of adequate calcium. (Milk is the best source of it; green leafy vegetables are another.) Vita- mm C, deficiency and a de- crease in blood platelets are other causes. A complete blood study is in order. VISITING BUFFALO?

Mines Gain Renewed Interest By BRUCE LEVETT VANCOUVER (CP)--Tom EI.- liott, in mining for more than 25 years, says the British Col- umbia - Yukon section has be- come the most active spot in North America from a pros. pecting and exploring stand. point, And much of this energy is going toward reopening old, abandoned workings or develop. ing properties that have lain un- worked for 50 years or more. "Twenty-five years ago there were four or five big mining exploration companies at work in British Columbia," Mr. El- lott said in an interview. At that tme he was , just starting out with the B.C.- Yukon Chamber of Mines, an insitution he now heads as sec- retary - manager. "Today there are about 50 top exploration companies in the area and they'll spend about $10,000,000 in prospecting this year alone." About 50 per cent of that ex. penditure will be used to ex- plore already-staked areas. "There's a saying in the min. ing business--"the best place to look for ore is where ore has been found,'" he said. INVESTMENT WELCOME "British Columbia's potential has not been fully recognized unti] the last five to 10 years. "Things really started to move five years ago. There de- veloped a favorable climate for investment capital and risk money goes where the eco- nomic climate,is good." He cites four reasons behind the interest: --The imagination and enter- prise of promoters; ~--Increased price of copper; --Modern techniques in open. pit mining; --Development of markets. in conjunction with a more favor. able business climate. And he gives instances: "Bethlehem Copper is a good example. This property was known 50 to 60 years ago. A bit of drilling had been done and the odd cuts that had been made were grown over with veg- etation. "Last winter a promoter went to a road-builder and offered to trade shares for bull - dozing work. They ran a cut 40 feet deep, 700 feet long through an area which had been considered low grade. This led to a richer zone than had been realized." BACKED BY JAPANESE 'There was, in addition to in- itiative, $5,000,000 of Japanese tisk capital in the venture. Now, wth a modern push-but- ton mill on the property, Beth. TODAY IN HISTORY By The Canadian Press June 24, 1963... John Cabot reached New- foundiand 466 years ago today--in 1497--and sailed along the coast of Labrador to Virginia. Earlier that year he had landed on Cape Breton Island and planted the royal flag of England. Cabot was born Giovanni Caboto in Genoa but become a naturalized Venetian and settled in England from where he sailed on his voy- ages of discovery. When he discgvered Newfoundland Cabot was actually attempt- ing to reach the East and was under the impression that Greenland was part of Asia. 1912--Fire in Chicoutimi, Que., destroyed 175 build lings including the cathedral. 1956--Col. Nasser elected president of Egypt. lehem's potential capacity is 4,000 tons a day of 1.12-per-cent copper worth just over $6 a ton. "Here is a new industry for the little town of Ashcroft gros. sing something like $20,000 a day," said Mr. Elliott. He also cited the Phoenix Coppe4 property operated by Granby Mining Company 60 years ago. The underground operation closed during the First World War. Phoenix became a prime tour- ist attraction as a ghost town. Eventually, the mine was ac- quired by W. E. McArthur of Greenwood, B.C., who later sold it back to Granby. Now only the graveyard re- mains of the ghost town. Mod. ern mine and mill buildings have been built and an eco- nomical operation has sprung up on an open-cut basis, But copper isn't the only ex. ample. } As long ago as 30 years, for- estry crews on Vancouver Is. land reported disturbances to their surveying instruments along a Yogging road in the Ucluelet district. About five years ago, with a Japan-fostered demand for iron ore growing, a prospector bor- rowed a magnetometer and got good readings in the area. He came back with a diamond driller and they sank one hole-- "right in the middle of one of the largest deposits of magnet- ite iron ore in B.C." NEED RISK CAPITAL The 2,400-ton mill on the site, operated by Brynnor Mines Limited, recently shipped the largest single freight cargo over to leave B.C.--50,000 tons of con- centrates to Japan. Also on Vancouver Island is the example of Western Mines Limited at Buttle Lake. "All the big companies had READERS' VIEWS WITHHOLDING TAX Dear Sir: Our No. 1 foreign exchange problem is meeting the deficit due to the outflow of dividends and interest. Last year, Cana- dian provinces, municipalities and corporations solved it by borrowing $839 million in the U.S. This year heavy borrow- ing for Peace River develop- ment and Quebec Hydro take- over practically assures a re- petition. Then why drop the 15 per cent withholding tax on cer- tain bond interest? ' It is understood that American investors, cor; and in- dividual, can recover the whole of this tax from their U.S. tax bill. Only pension and trust funds, which are tax exempt, suffer and are deterred from in- vesting in Canada unless other circumstances make it favor- able. The Investment Dealers' As- sociation has pressed for rescind of this tax through two elec- tions, to drum up their business. Now we find two of its mem- bers helped to write the law that provides their wish. The loss of this revenue, which could amount: to $3 mil- lion a year, is a recurring loss for the life of the bond. The loss could be $6 million the 2nd year and $15 million the 3rd year -- and so forth. The foreign ex- change fund will also be that much poorer through having to tmansfer the extra funds.

"They knew where to look from the use of modern geo- They found zinc, copper, lead, gold and silver and today you pay about $4.50 a share." Mr. Elliott says there is no place in modern mining for the philosophy that bringing in risk capital endangers Canada's birthright through loss control of her raw materials, -- "In mining you need every bit of risk capital you can get --from anywhere. "It will come to wherever conditions are right and they are right in B.C. and the Yukon right now. "But it's a risky business, For every winner there are a lot of losers--you have to have a fav- orable business and economic climate." Nigerians Get W. German Aid - werman LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) -- A team of West German officers and technicians is here laying the groundwork of a_ training scheme designed to give Nigeria an air force, starting from scratch. Two Dornier - 27 training planes, already bearing Niger- ian markings, are being assem- bled in a secluded hangar at Lagos Airport. Together with Spare parts and maintenance equipment, they arrived aboard seven German Air Force trans- port planes recently. Maj. Horst Gotz, who~-com- mands a seven-man team of German Air Force technicians, said the Dorniers are "ex. tremely easy to fly and for that reason make excellent training aircraft." Gotz, who says he flew recon- haissance aircraft over Britain during the Second World War, will take his technicians back to Germany when the planes are assembled. Those remaining in Nigeria will be the nucleus of a training unit commanded by Col. Ger- hard Kahtz, who won the Iron Cross for service at Stalingrad. He declined to say when train. ing actually would begin. He indicated more planes would be arriving. The Nigerian government has not announced why West Ger- many was chosen to train the new air force. Diplomatic sources said Nigeria originally approached Britain, India, Can- ada and Sweden, The decision to ask the.
