Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1963---PAGE 6 Drivers Have Answer To Cost Of Insurance Auto insurance rates will prob- ably be increased again this fall, and already the howls of anguish from pocket-pinched motorists are being heard. The only people who have any right -to howl, however, are those who observe traffic reg- ulations, drive carefully and stay out of accidents. They are being penalized for the sins of others -- and the others are the ones respon- sible for the higher rates and, more important, for the grim and steady increase in the traffic toll. The motorists have the answer to insurance costs; they can stop the increases any time they want-- by observing traffic rules. But this they do not want to do; they want, instead, to have low insurance rates and harebrained action on the roads all at the same time. And it can't be done. The trouble is that far too many drivers are contemptuous of the rules of the road, and too many people charged with the making or the enforcement of the law -- and we do not include policemen among these -- act in a way to increase that contempt. A few days ago the Kingston Whig-Standard noted, with amazement, that in one On- tario community recently a youig man was convicted of breaking and entering and theft, and was sent- enced to six months in reformatory; in the same week a man was con- victed of dangerous driving, leaving the scene of an accident and driv- ing while his licence was suspended --charges arising from the death of a young cyclists -- and he too was sentenced to six months in re- formatory. The Kingston paper commented: "This is not to suggest that the first sentence was not deserved. But which was the more serious crime against society? It is not dif- ficult to conclude from such com- parisons as this that we are in- clined to place more value on prop- erty than we do on human life -- judges and laymen alike." Food Costs And Wages The cost of living nudged still higher this summer -- amd the féderal Department of Agriculture is campaigning to keep food free of the blame. Says a release from the department's information division: "Food doesn't cost as much as it used to -- at least not as much when put in terms of our buying power." The release destroys the happy effect of that statement in the next paragraph: "For instance, 12 to 15 years ago, it cost the average fac- ' tory worker an hour's wages to buy one-and-a-half pounds of butter. In 1962, the hour's wages bought more than three pounds of butter." To be fair, the department should add to the retail price what it has cost the average factory 'worker in taxes: To maintain a high floor price for butter, a price which has resulted in the accumulation of a surplus of more than 200 'million pounds; to store that surplus in warehouses about the country; and to pay the 12-cent "consumer sub- West Indies Canadian businessmen are losing out to Japanese, West Germans and Americans in a market which through tradition and tariff prefer- ehce ought to have been their own, writes Walter A. Kontak, associate professor of political science at St. Francis Xavier University, in the West Indian magazine "The Ba- jan." Prof. Kontak has spent the past year in the West Indies study- ing the islands' problems and their rélationship to Canada. ' + Professor Kontak writes: "Al- though Canada has not given much indication that she is aware of it, she is in a unique position today to play a much greater role in the West Indies than she ever has, and make a much larger contribution to the welfare of the area...

The rest of the release is straight- forward, even if some of the figures are questionable, Food prices have gone up about two-and-a-half times since the 1935-89 period, while wages have quadrupled; that's a matter of rec- ord. But while it might have been possible to feed a family of four'on $10 a week 25 years ago, we have some doubts about the department's claim that in 1962 it cost a family of the same size just $25 -- partic- ularly if the family contained two health teen-agers. The doubt is strengthened by the department's finding that "our national debt has changed, too. We are eating more fruit and vegetables, more meat and poultry, but less grain products and fewer potatoes." We're not criticizing the main theme, that food is cheaper in re- lation to buying power; we're only sugesting that the information service may, on one or two points, be a little removed from reality. Markets ily connection that Canada has and does not occupy the same place in the hearts of the people... The question of what form assist- ance to the West Indies should take has almost as many answers as there are people to- whom I have talked . . . It is always stressed that help is needed at all levels... "Lack of educational opportunit- ies in the past means lack of tech- nicians today. Until properly train- ed technicians are prepared in suf- ficient numbers, Canada can pro- vide technical assistance in fields such as agriculture, the various branches of engineering, adminig- tration, and others required by tgr- ritories undergoing development. There is the need for investment and development aid, to provide the public works demanded by modern society. "Before any of the above, and much else, will be done, Canada has to make a decision. She has to de- cide that she wants to assume more responsibility in the international field, and that the West Indies is an area to which she wants to give an important part of her attention. .... ". .. Canadian businessmen have not been on the ball. They have just not shown the drive for expcrts shown by the Japanese and West Germans in various parts of the world, ... In the West Indies, even with preferential tariff treatment, they have been losing markets to the Americans, who will replace them if Canadians do not wake and improve their business methods. Too many West Indian commission agents have never seen a Canadian sales agent of a firm whose products they are supposed to sell." OTTAWA REPORT ~~ Start To Be Made On Redistribution CUCKOO CLOCK REPORT FROM U.K. Forth Road Tolls Stir Warm Debate By M. McINTYRE D022. Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times EDINBURGH, Scotland --The question of the charging of tolls on the new Forth Road Bridge, which is expected to be opened for traffic in the early part of the summer of 1964, has aroused considerable contro. versy and concern in areas of Scotland which will be directly affected by the opening of the new bridge. There is a substantial body of public opinion completely op- posed to the charging of tolls at all. This seems rather strange, because in the prolonged negoti- ations which took place before the government decided to build the bridge, it was conceded by YOUR HEALTH the local authorities and other Scottish interests involved, that it would have to be a toll bridge. Indeed, the making of this concession was one of the conditions on which the govem- ment authorized the building of the bridge. While opposition to bridge tolls continue, it is inevitable that they will be imposed. The point which'is now causing con- cein is what the amount of the tolls will be. Various figures have been quoted for various types of commercial and pri- vate motor vehicles, but none of these have been authentic, and interested parties are waiting with some anxiety for a list of the proposed charges to be' published. Breakfast Advice: Avoid Late Rush By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I am a girl of 16, five feet four, and I weigh 107. I eat two well - balanced meals a day but little break- fast. I usually get sick when I eat breakfast. I would like to gain about 20 pounds. I Jook like a scarecrow in shorts and swim suits, I'm willing to exercise or do any- thing--L.L. Do anything? Well, for one, eat a good breakfast. For to, have some patience. I suggest that you get up 30 minutes earlier, so you aren' rushed, and have a glass of juice, an egg,-a slice of toast, and a glass of milk. And see how your figure looks next year. Or maybe when you are an old lady of 19 or 20. Take things more slowly and more calmly in the morning and you will not feel sick after breakfast, Dear Dr, Moiner: I recently read how a person with kidney trouble is helped by a machine that cleanses the blood, but I understand this is expensive. Couldn't such a patient be hooked up, so to speak, with tubes, to a healthy person, so the latter's kidneys could as- sume the extra load? I suppose they have already thought of this and there is some reason why it can't be done.--C,.M.K. Yes, it's been thought of, but why risk having the healthy TODAY IN HISTORY - By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 23, 1963 . ... President. Truman notified the world of a major alter- ation in the balance of in- ternational power 14 years ago today --in 1949 -- when he announced the Soviet Union had exploded an atomic device. Within weeks it became clear the Russians planned to use their possession of the bomb as a strong bargain- ing issue in international af- fairs. Georgi' Malenkov, a rising Soviet politician who was to succeed Stalin on his death, warned that with the bomb Russia would ensure: the end of capitalism in a third world war. He added that Russia «id not want war and planned to use the bomb to preserve peace. 1955--Pakistan joined the Baghdad Pact. person's kidneys break down, too? The blood of the two peo- ple must be compatible, and to make sure of this is a difficult and costly task. As a matter of fact, such interchanges of circulation have been performed successfully, as a substitute for an "artificial heart" during an operation on that organ. A more efficient artificial kid- ney machine now has been de- signed. Dear Dr. Molner: Recently I bought a new corset. Ever since I have had an itch all over my stomach. Could it be shingles? M.C, Shingles would be more than an itch. More likely you are sensitive to something in. the corset--rubber, fabric, dye or sizing. Occasionally tiny micro- organisms in the fabric will cause skin irritation. A couple of good washings may rid the garment of whatever is bother- ing you, Some people have to wash new shirts, underwear, etc., before wearing for: that reason, William W. Hamilton, MP for West Fife, is pressing for an early decisicn on the amount of the tolls, His constituency is vitally concerned, The sooner a decision is made on the tolls, he says, the better it will be for Fife. According to Mr. Hamilton, construction of a $30 million pri- vate housing development at Dalgety, near Aberdour, had been delayed because of the un- certainty about the bridge tolls, * These houses wou'd be suitable for executives, he said, and would be an attraction to indus- trial firms which were consid. ering the establishment of fac- tory premises on the nearby Donbristle Industrial Estate. This estate was formerly a Royal Air Force station which has now been turned over for industrial purposes. Mr. Hamilton, backed up by Harry Gourlay, MP for Kirk- caldy, added that the firms which were coming to Dcn- bristle would provide about 600 jobs, which would be divided equally between men and women. FIRMS COMING The firms which are coming to establish factories in that area include the Richardson Manufacturing Company of Canada, which will make ccn- densation shields for cars. Others are an American com- pany which makes heating and air-conditioning equipment, and Highlend Flectronics, which will make electronic compo- nents, In addition, an advance fac- tory at Cowdenbeath is to be occupied by Elliott Brothers, Limited, valve manufacturers, - and will employ 250 people. These projects, however, are all of a nature which will be influenced by the amount of tolls charged on the new Forth Road Bridge on trucks carry- ing raw materials and taking away finishe products to and from their plants. If tho tolls as is greatly feared at the moment, are placed at substan- tial figures, this would have a serious effect on industrial cost of production, and also on the cost of building factories and homes in which their employ- ees would live: Hence the urgency of the question so far as the people of Fife are con- cerned, 30 DAYS OVERSEAS (OCT, Tat -- MAR, Vat) $312.00 ROUND TRIP AT FOUR SEASONS TRAVEL (OSHAWA) PHONE 728-620) 1963 - 64 Opening Meeting: -- Speaker:-- Topic:-- This first meeting of the yeor are invited to attend.

By PATRICK NICHOLSON 'AWA--The voice of the farmer is heard on Parliament Hill louder and clearer than the voice of the union member; the te of er aay and back- wi provinces is stronger on Parliament Hill than the voice of prosperous Ontario, B.C. and Alberta. A quarter-million. Canadians living in rural Ontario send six MPs to Ottawa; a' quarter- million Canadians living in highly industrialized suburbia of Toronto may send only one MP to Ottawa; and a quarter-mil- lion French-Canadians in Mont- real's most crowded riding may send only one MP to Ottawa. These are some of the gro- tesque inequities in our pres- ent parliamentary representa- tion which are crying out for correction. And this they will get. Prime Minister Pearson has announced his intention to introduce legislation soon after Parliamet reassembles at the end of this month to set up ma- chinery to examine and recom- mend possible redistribution of our voting districts, Apart, from the Yukon and the Northwest Territories, probably every single constituency in Canada will have its boundaries redrawn. studying how other countries - effect redistribution, and also how other countries maintain permanent electors lists. This second point is important, be- cause our practice of compiling the electors lists after Parlia- ment has been dissolved com- pels. us to endure election cam- running: for about 60 lays. But if we always kept lists in being, the campaigns could be reduced to about three weeks. This, however, is not the first change we will see. Before that, we are likely to see commissions set up to redraw the boundaries of constituencies. This will put an end to the polit- ical gerrymandering which has dominated past redistributions, so that constituencies have been QUEEN'S PARK © this machinery is passed Christmas, the could be started 'earl; } ned a oe reports to P: am of 1965 session.

Hitherto there have never been any ground rules for such changes, which have been made by Parliament -- and hence largely at the whim of, and in the interest of, the party form- ing the government, But now the intention is to change all that.

As one of the participants the writer found that giving the leaders a maximum of two min- utes to answer questions was particularly limiting.
