oe a aes Published by Canadian Newspapers 'Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1963--PAGE 6 Political Strategists Study Oshawa Figures = Party officals in Oshawa riding Will be poring over the Oshawa city election results for many a day. The figures suggest certain conclusions and hint at interesting possibilities. The primary fact emerging from the detailed figures is that while approximately 61 per cent of the eligible voters in the northeast and northwest sections of the city cast their ballots, only 55 per cent of the voters in the southeast and south- west sections went to the polls. It maybe an over-simplification to say that the light turnout cost T. D. Thomas his seat in the Legis- lature, but there is no doubt that had the southern areas yielded only as high a percentage as the north- ern areas, the result would have been even closer than it was. It is ¢onceded, on the basis of previous yoting records that the CCF-New Democrats draw their strongest support from the south. Why the southern voters failed to turn out is a question engaging the attention of both the Conser- vative and New Democratic strate- gists. One pat answer is that the lack of any hot issues -- issues that would make the individual feel he was personally involved -- and gen- erally prosperous conditions com- bined to make citizens apathetic, particularly after the surfeit of federal elections. But if we accept that explanation, we must agree that loyalty to party principles is weak -- that there may be, in fact, a very substantial floating vote which can be obtained only when the voter's personal interests can be reached. Another conclusion, supported by the figures, is that the Liberal party at the moment is in a sorry state of decay, and faces a massive task of rebuilding if it hopes to make any serious impression on the city vote. The Liberal candidate obtain- ed a shade better than 10 per cent of the ballots cast in the city. Tight Money And Easy -- "Tight money" and "easy money" have become popular phrases during the past few years, but what exactly do they mean? Dr. A. N. McLeod, who has served as an economist with the International Monetary Fund and with the Canadian gov- ernment's finance department and now chief economist of the Toronto- Dominion Bank, offers this defini- tion: ~ Tight money generally means conditions in which money is rela- tively difficult to borrow, even for those with the highest credit stand- ing, and easy money means condi- fions in which it is relatively easy $0 borrow. = Writing in the October issue "The @anadian Chartered Accountant", he says that tight money must not be confused with expensive money --that is, high interest rates -- al- though "borrowed money is almost éertain to be more expensive when i is harder to get and less expen- give when it is easier to get." Nevertheless there are times when money is relatively freely available to sound credit risks but interests rates are quite high in comparison with other times when money is equally freely available. Conversely, money may be equally hard to get on different occasions yet the level of interest rates may be quite different. According to this explanation, the rather vague phrases "tight money" and "easy money" should be discarded in favor of "monetary restraint" and "monetary ease" -- clumsier, perhaps, but more accu- rate, Federal monetary policy con- trols the availability of bank credit, and Dr. McLeod sees this policy as a useful instrument for influencing the economy, especially for restrain- ing a boom that is developing in- flationary tendencies. It has its limitations, however, particularly for stimulating a new expansion when domestic spending is inade- quate to spark such an expansion.

With Siroky went most of those responsible for economic planning. They had succeeded in taking a highly successful economy and all but wrecking it. Czecho-Slovakia was a highly developed industrial nation when the Communists seized it. The Czechs lived well. Their agriculture produced at a high level. The Russians early called it a Socialist America. But the planners quickly wrecked agriculture by try- ing to collectivize it. And they made a relative mess of. industry. The standard of living dropped. It has finally become evident even to men like Novotny that it was time to end obvious folly and try to regain some of the old Chechs production levels.

COMMUNIST BLOG ATTEMPT To SET NEW AGRICULTURE RECORDS | ON YOUR MARX...GET SET... REPORT FROM U.K. Claim Americans Crowding Schools By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Differences be- tween the educational laws of England and the United States are at the root of angry pro- tests being made by parents of children attending schools in Suffolk that the schools are be- ing overcrowded by the chil- dren of United States airmen located at bases there. Normally these American chidren attend the schools which are provided for them at the United States air bases. The starting age for school in the United States is six years of age, so they cannot be ac- cepted in the American base schools until they rd@ach that age. Under the British educational laws, under which all Ameri- cans living here have to come, children must start school at the age of five. In order to fill in that year before they can go to their own base schools, they have to attend the local village schools nearest the bases. And having to provide classroom seats for them in the earliest grade is proving something of a problem for the local education- al authorities. 260 INVOLVED In all some 260 American children are involved in this educational tangle. One of the schools most affected is that at Barton Mills, near the Milden- hall USAF base in West Suffolk. Angry British parents are pro- testing that the influx of the American children is ovdrcrowd- ing the classrooms. Wing Com- mander L. S. M. Bailey, of Bar- ton Mills, a local council mem- ber and school governor said: "The Americans are using our schools as nurseries. I in- tend to raise the matter with our council, I think it is about time the Americans made ar- rangements to tart teaching their children at the age of five." A mother at Barton Mills, shocked at the crammed condi- tion of her child's school, said: -"The Americans have coilar- ed the infants' school, Over- crowding is bad for our chil- dren. The Americans should pro- vide their own classrooms." A spokesman for the educa- tion authority of West Suffolk said: "We have more than 260 American children in our class- rooms and some schools have serious accommodation prcb- lems. The trouble is that under English law, the children, «al- though they are Americans, must start school here at five. Their own schools cannot ac- celt them so they come to us." "In the United States the YOUR HEALTH child begins school at six, and our American schools over here follow the same rule. No finan- cial provision is made for Amer- ican children under the age of six to be educated. There have been some instances where an American child has registered at an English school and then left. Of course, the local author- ity had followed it up and asked why the child is not at school. Our answer has always been that we are guests in this coun- a and everyone has accepted is," Mildenhall USAF base however, a senior officer said: "As far as I know some finan- cial arrangement has been agreed to, and it does not cost the British taxpayer any money to have our children at their schools." That, however, does overcome the parents' objec- tions to overcrowded class- rooms, which is the chief cause for the complaints, not Milk Good Food Despite Faddists By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My husband Says our 16-year-old son drinks too much milk; that after a cer- tain age it serves no tiseful pur- pose. The boy is still growing, oe 160 pounds, and is 6 feet I am glad he drinks milk and likes it. I believe that a quart a day is considered minimum for growing children and he sel- dom exceeds that. A glass at breakfast, at lunch and dinner, and sometimes a glass later in the evening. He has a good build. Our little girl, 744, weighs 46 pounds and is nearly 49 inches tall. She drinks very little milk, about a half a glass at a meal, My busband proudly refers to her as "slim," a nice long- legged girl, etc, I think she is too thin and should be encour- aged to drink more milk, and that the boy should not be en- couraged to "drink water" in- stead. Both children have heal- thy appetites and eat balanced meals.--M. Well, it's fashionable these days, in certain circles, to criti- cize milk, but in my opinion this fad. will wither. , BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Oct. 7, Edwin G.

Rundle Park Community As- sociation was organized with Arden Copeland as its chair- man. The area covered Nassau and Burk streets and Park Road district. Medical Officer of Health Dr, A. F. Mackay reported a Public Health Dental Survey was under way in Oshawa schools. Fire Chief W. Elliott an- nounced the year's first loss for Oshawa was $30,000. Mayor F. N. McCallum was appointed chairman of a com- mittee, composed of industrial and commercial consumers rep- resentatives, to bring Oshawa's power consumption within the quota set by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario. Sixteen dwelling permits, valued at $90,000, were issued in the city during September. A $75,000 permit was also issued to the Oshawa Public Utilities for a warehouse on Metcalfe atreet 1948 Connaught Park won the first championship of the new Kiwa- nis Bantam Softball League. Dr. A.

At the same time the city's population had increased to 28,037, an increase of 113 over the tate) af the srevious vear In this case, there's no rea- son to criticize diet. The little girl would be better off if she drank a full glass of milk at each meal, but beyond that I'm not inclined. to quibble over a. quart a day for the boy. I'm in favor of milk, espe- cially for children and in rea- sonable amounts for adults, It's a good food with moderate fat (or use skim milk for weight- worriers), goodly protein, and a lot of calcium, which is a most valuable ingredient; plus some lesser materials useful to our bodies. The following 'milk' letter also came along the same day: Dear Sir: I am 75 years old. A number of friends have said that anyone past middle age shouldn't drink milk--that the calcium would make the bones brittle. Any comment? I've averaged a quart of skim milk a day for many years, and it is about a third of my diet.--JR. At 75 and in good health, any- body is enfitled to tell calamity howlers that they haven't much business criticizing the amount of milk he drinks! Calcium does not make the bones brittle. But a lack of cal- cium can, Many children (and adults) have become healthy specimens by drinking mi!k, and I'm not inclined to put any stock what- ever in people who, at this late date, are trying to drum up theories to the contrary. Nor have I seen any evidence to sup- port their opinions. I think time will put the whole controversy at rest--if, indeed, enough peo- ple accept the anti-milk claims to make it a "controversy."

Everywhere, that is, except possibly in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland where the smallest change is both heavy and slow. Britain accepted decimal coinage "in principle" two years ago and this fall a gov- ernment committee produced a comprehensive report favoring a decimal system based on the pound sterling divided into 100 cents or pennies, But the committee's report 'was not unanimous. Two of the six-member group headed by Lord Halsbury held out for a major unit worth 10 shillings, following the system adopted by South Africa and proposed for Australia and New Zealand, OPINION SPLIT Public opinion is split on this issue. In fact some sections, noting that conversion would take at least five years and cost some undecimalized £100,000,- 000, don't see the point of switching at all. And because all British gov- ernments seem to assume pon- dering, shilly-shallying and pen- sive moods whenever faced with the decimal problem, many Britons fear they will be slaves to their duodecimal currency ulcers for some time to come. Pressimists observe that the move to coin a "noble. . , divided into 10 primes and 10 seconds" was first suggested by architect Sir Christopher Wren as long ago as 1696. Since then dozens of similar reports have gathered dust on Whitehall shelves. The closest decimals ever came to the royal mint was in 1849. The gov- ernment of that day also ac- cepted decimals "in principle" and coined the florin -- worth two shillings or one-tenth of a pound--as a first step. REFORM HALTS But there things stopped, bogged down by equal parts of sentiment, inertia and plain dis- trust, Incensed Victorians wor- ried that decimal currency would lead to such radical in- novations as a 10-inch foot and, politically unthinkable; a 10- hour day. France and the United States had been dealing in decimals since the 1790s--Canada_ con- verted in 1857--but Britain has never got beyond the discussion stage. Meanwhile, the Common- wealth has forged ahead. A century after Canada took the lead, India decimalized the rupee in 1957 and Pakistan fol- lowed suit in 1961. South Africa also changed in 1961, while still a member of the Common- wealth; Australia has set 1966 as the date and New Zealand 1967. : : ' All other Commonwealth countries and British dependen- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 7, 1963...

The Irish Republic, the only 0n- Commonwealth country in- -volved, was planning to wait for Britain but now may go ahead on its own. South Africa introduced a rand worth 10 shillings as the tem major unit. This system has the advantage of utilizing most of the old coins during the trans- ition period. Next year the re- public will distribute new coins similar in size and value to Ca- nadian money. PONDER NAME In Australia the only problem to date has involved the name of the new 10-shilling unit. After toying with "quid," 'kanga," "roo," and "inelba," the gov- ernment unexpectedly settled on "royal," the name of an early English coin, Although a manifestation of loyalty to Britain, this made most Australians boil.

But three army officers who spent their vacation in the area know now why it's such a fertile spot for myths to spring up. "Mysterious and forbidding," was the way Maj. F. R. Kaye of Edmonton summed up on his return from Deadman's Valley popularly known to outsiders as Headless Valley) in the Northwest Territories 700 miles northwst of Edmonton. "It was just dead quiet in the place--too quiet," said Maj. Kaye. "I think what caused it was the lack of animals or birds." Maj. Kaye, Capt. T. R. Pal- frey of Fort Nelson, B.C., and Maj. C. M. McLeod of Calgary saw only one sign of life during their two-day stay in the 400- mile-long Nahanni area--a_ set of moose tracks They travelled from Mile 955 on the Alaska Highway near Fort Nelson 400 miles up the Muskwa, Fort Nelson, Liard and Nahanni rivers into the myster- ious valley. They saw plenty of game during the trip--until they entered the valley itself. "I think' if I had to stay there long, I'd start spending a lot of time "looking over my shoulder," said Maj. Kaye. "You always have the feeling someone's watching you." LAUGHING MOOSE The trip was made in a large, flat-bottomed river boat owned by Capt. Palfrey. Maj. Kaye descsibed the Na- hanni as 'a dangerous river-- not one you can fool around with." The boat almost cap- sized at George's Ripples a mile south of the valley. "And after we had all that trouble there was an.old cow moose standing by the shore and I'd. swear she was laugh- ing at us.'"' They started the trip with 150 gallons of fuel and when they returned "we had two gallons of gas and three bottles of Scotch." They never did reach their intended destination, the 300-foot-high Victoria Falls, but plan another trip next sum- 'mer with "a little more gas and a more powerful'motor so we can get up thefe a little faster." Over the years many stories bave been told about Nahanni ----- DOUBLE Valley. Legend says 13 white men disappeared in the valley where riverbanks tower 3,000 feet above the river surface and plants, unusual for an area so far north, bloom in the lush vegetation of a gardener's dream. VILE ODOR Indians are said to shun the valley (some say it's because of the strange stories told by the white man) and reports are heard from time to time of skeletons being found without heads, frequently with a poke of gold nearby. Several violent deaths have occurred in the general area, some of them murder, others Suicide, some due to mishap, others unexplained, but no lost band. of Indians has ever been found, They have sound reasons for staying away, in fact. For aside from any fears planted by the white man's stories, the valley is difficult to reach over rugged terrain, there is less fur than in many more accessible areas and the sulphur springs give it a vile odor, PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Knowledge is what you learn from others: wisdom is what you teach yourself.
