Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1963--PAGE 6 Government Should Aid | Formation Of Capital There has been a lot said in the post-war years about "have-not" countries and "under-developed" countries: But few Canadians have stopped to think that Canada be- longs in one of these categories. We have been dazzled by our 'inex haustible resources" but we have encouraged foreign capital to deve- lop those resources, and excused ourselves by saying that we lacked the capital to do it. The Amercan writer Harold Fle- ming in his recent book "States, Contracts and Progress" says: 'No one seems satisfied with the term 'less-developed country' or 'under-developed country.' It does not exactly mean 'poor country,' for some comparatively poor coun- tries are progressing rapidly and resent the term. It does not fit the meaning of 'countries where develop- ment is going on apace,' for it is scarcely applied, for instance, to Canada .. .'But among the 'less developed' countries, as the term is most often used, almost all have at least one thing in common. They are countries that desire capital but have not yet put into practice the methods of capitalism." The immediate reaction to that comment is that of course Canada employs the methods of capitalism. But a second thought might be that, in truth, we employ only some of these methods and that, in -particular, the formation of Problems Of It has been said that probably no other North American has been as thoroughly researched in the past 15 years as the elderly citizen. He has been probed, interviewed and committed to punch cards, As a result, the researchers know every- thing there is to know about him except what to do about him. At a recent state conference on aging at Madison, Wisconsin, the older American was considered less as a cipher than as a human being with needs to be met and much to offer the world around him. It was brought out that special recreation centers and clubs for the elderly are not enough if they encourage only card playing, TV watching and morbid chatter about illness. The Milwaukee Journal commented on the conference: "There are good minds and hearts here, eager for continuing educa- tion. There are potential part time workers, ready to be trained. There is a community social force here, ready to be aimed." Of what worth are housing deve- lopments for the elderly if they are capital has been impeded by the rapid increase in the share of na- tional income that is taken by taxa- tion. The weight of taxation in Canada has increased from 22 per cent of national income in 1939, to 26 per cent in 1949, to more than one-third today. It is not possible to argue that this progression has not discouraged domestic invest- ment, and encouraged foreign in- vestment; long-term foreign invest- ment in Canada has increased from $7 million in 1939, to $8 billion in 1949, to nearly $25 billion today. It may be significant that De- fence Minister Paul Hellyer recent- ly emphasized the need for Cana- dians to save and invest. "We com- plain bitterly of the effect of foreign investment," he told the annual meeting of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, "yet we make: no more to save enough to finance our development. The remedy is in our hands." If we are to finance future resource deve- lopment and ultimately buy back the ownership of a large segment of our industry, Mr. Hellyer added, there will have to be wholehearted support for greater savings and the adoption of policies which will permit the formation of great quan- tities of additional capital. Mr. Hellyer should have added that the most reckless spenders are governments. Their deficits make a mockery of thrift. The Aged so isolated as to seal off their occupants: from younger people, shopping centers, community acti- vity and the bustle of living? Of what value is a nursing home if many of: its occupants are there not because of illness but because there is no family to care for them and no where else to go? Of what value is retirement if, without pre- paration, a worker steps from pro- ductive life into a sterile world of lonely boredom without aim or pur- pose? One real problem, it was noted at Madison, is the "psychological aversion" of the public to face the facts and needs of old age. This aversion often makes it difficult to get broad community support for positive action. The Journal said: "There are programs everywhere-- more than 800 local committees on aging have been set up in the United States. Progress, however, will be measured in inches until there is a strong community awareness of the elderly as people, not detached ciphers. For the prob- lem of aging is, sooner or later, the problem of us all." Immaturity In Drivers diction that one out of three male drivers under 25 will have a serious accident during the next 12 months, Canada's young male drivers are 11 times more dangerous than the average 45-year-old. Only seven per cent of all drivers in this country are under age 20, but they are involved in 14.6 per cent of all automobile accidents and in 13 per cent of car fatalities. They drive far fewer miles, but their accident involvement rate is almost twice that of all other drivers. A frightening list of truths about young drivers, coupled with a pre- She Oshawa Times T. L.

What can be done about such a grave situation? The Ontario Safety League says that immatur- ity shows up in a young man's driving. As it well nigh impossible to legislate against immaturity, it is obvious that some young people will always get involved in acci- dents that a more mature driver could have avoided. Nevertheless, proper teaching can help them suc- cessfully bridge the years between childhood and adult maturity. For instance, parents should not teach their children to drive. Can- ada's traffic authorities are in com- plete agreement on. that. Driver- training courses are available and there are impressive statistics which prove that their graduates are not nearly so accident prone as young people who are taught by mother or dad. The important thing to remember is that past records show that ap- proximately one out of three young male drivers under the age of 25 will have a serious traffic accident dur- ing the next 12 months. \ig@e MORE SURE-FOOTED THAN SOME OTHERS REPORT FROM U.K. Minister Tightens Road Regulations By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Ernest Marples, minister of transport, has issued some new regulations: with the objective of promoting public safety on the streets and high- ways. These new regulations, which provide penalties for a new type of offences, will come into effect on November 1. One section makes. motorists who injure cyclists or cause danger by carelessly opening automobile doors will be liable to new penalties. Opening the door of a motor vehicle or trail- er in such a manner as to cause injury or danger will after No- YOUR HEALTH vember 1 become a punishable offence. At the present time, Section 78 of the Highways Act provides that negligent opening of the door of a vehicle so as to ob- struct the highway is a punish- able offence. The new regulation, one of the changes made by Mr. Marples in consolidating the existing Motor Vehicles Use Regulations, will enable more effective ac- tion to be taken against the grave dangers to cyclists a even other motorists or pede§- trians of carelessly opened cat doors. The new rules also strengthen the existing code which covers the safe carriage of passengers CP Victim Needs Sympathetic Help By Joseph G. Molner, MD Dear Dr. Molner: We have been told that our five-year-old son has cerebral palsy. Is this a permanent disorder?--J. A. Cerebral palsy is really a group of disorders, rather than a single one. It is a permanent condition. Treatment and training are pos- sible -- indeed, I hope all CP children. get such care--but not with the hope of curing a child. The problem is that certain portions of the nervous system have been damaged -- nerve cells controlling the muscles. In about two out of three cases, it will be the "spastic" type of cerebral palsy. The child's muscles (well, there are adults, too, with CP but it usu- ally begins in infancy) are tense and rigid. For most of us, the muscles relax when they are not in use. For example, take the leg muscles, One set of them moves the leg forward, Another, oppo- sit, set moves the leg back- ward. We walk by alternately tensing and relaxing these mus- cles--one set goes loose while the other works. With the spastic child, both sets of muscles remain tense. When he walks, he has to over- come the resistance of muscle that should be relaxed, Dif- ficult? Extremely. Such a child uses a great deal of energy to do things which for the rest of us are easy. There are a number of kinds of cerebral palsy, and there are many degrees of it, from slight to severe. Some youngsters have trouble speaking and swal- lowing; others don't. Some find that their muscles don't react as intended. They reach for something and the arm goes in an unexpected direction. A few have a tremor type -- they may have good control of their muscles while at rest, but be- gin to shake when they are ex- cited or when they try to do something. And there are still other variations. Relaxing drugs, physio- therapy, patient training in how to use the muscles despite the handicap, braces, and in a few cases even surgery can help. Since cure cannot be expected, the next best thing is to teach the child how to be as efficient as he can despite his handicap, and that is what you must keep constantly in mind. f Whatever type of this dis- order the child has, he needs sympathetic help from parents and doctors and therapists. He needs the courage to keep try- ing, and the optimism to make him realize') that he can im- prove. There are organizations in many cities devoted to helping children with CP I strongly advise you to geta in touch with one in: your area. If you have any difficulty finding such a group, consult your city, coun- try or state health department. Not the least of the values to be gained is in showing you that others have the same problem and can-do something about it. For Further 32 KING STREET E. WATCH FOR BONUS DAYS Commencing Nov. Ist!

At present, the regulation in this regard simply states that the number of pas- sengers carried by a motor ve- hicle shall be such that no dan- ger is caused or likely to be caused. For instance, there has been nothing in the regulations to prevent passengers being car- ried on the roof of a car. The new regulation may owe its birth to a recent long-drawn out court action in which an in- surance company refused to pay damages for an accident be- cause there were nine people riding in one of the cars in- volved, At one stage, the trial judge declared that there was nothing in the regulations to in- dicate the number which could be carried without constituting a dange~ous practice. In future, under the strength- ened regulations, it will be an offence if passengers are care ried in a manner likely to be dangerous, FLASHING LIGHTS Another new regulation pro- vides that flashing traffic indi- cators on all motor vehicles. first "registered after September 1, 1965, will have to be amber in color. At present, they can be either red or amber 'o the rear and white or amber in front. The delay in putting this change into effect is to enable motor car manufacturers to make the necessary changes in their fu- ture new models of cars. It is noteworthy, however, that direction indicators are not yet compulsory on any class of motor vehicle, but the ministry states that a draft regulation to this effect is now under consid- eration, PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM It's hard for a person to read handwriting on the wall when Fate is kicking him in the pants.

OTTAWA REPORT Admirable Report On NATO's Future By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--I have long been @ convinced supporter of the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion, hoping to see this develop beyond a mere military alli- ance into a true Atlantic Com- munity, bringing prosperity. to its members and spreading prosperity beyond its borders. So I was very interested and deeply impressed by the far- sighted views of Mr. Murdo Martin, the New Democratic MP for Timmins, Ont., whea he returned from a tour of NATO countries and military bases in Europe recently. Murdo Martin has written a report on his findings, and his views as to the immense future prospects for NATO. That re- port was intended only for the information of his party's cau- cus in the House of Commons; but it is s0° admirable that it merits much wider circu'ation, and I hope that he will read it into the record of the House of QUEEN'S PARK Commons during the next de- bate on foreign affairs. Murdo Martin was one of the half-dozen Canadian delegates, representing all parties in the Senate and House of Commons, who made the tour in a group of parliamentarians from 12 of the' mins 15 NATO nations, The fast-mov- ing tour lasted , and embraced France, Italy, Tur- key, Germany, Norway and Britain, DEV' ELOP ECONOMICS In my opinion, the great hope for NATO is to develop it on the economic side," Mr. Martin told me on his return. "We should demonstrate in an economic way how nations can work together for their com- mon good, This regional associ- ation would then logically de- velop into a world partnership for the benefit of all mankind." The planners of the North At- lantic Alliance had a concept of co-operation in the non-military fields, which in practice could Some Color Added To Ontario House By DON O'HEARN TORCHED Tee So legisla- ture may be a colorful one. At least it gets off to a good start. It has a member who is blind --war hero Edward Dunlop, six- footer plus who took the new seat of Toronto-Forest Hill for the PCs. Then there's the first Negro to ever be in the house--lawyer and Liberal Leonard Braith- waite from Etobicoke. There is the first brother act in history. Lou Hodgson is rep- resenting Scarborough East and Glen Hodgson is sitting for Vic- toria, former seat of Premier Frost. They are the sons of Clayton Hodgson, long-time fed- eral member for Victoria and Mr. Frost's campaign manager. Both, of course, are PCs. Finally there is the first woman to be seated since 1951, when the late Agnes MacPhail was defeated, Mrs. Ada Prit- chard. HURLY-BURLY There also appear to be some interesting new faces. On the hurly-burly side there is Mayor Eddie Sargent of Owen Sound. Eddie has been knocking around here for years--as a pal of the late Bob Saunders, a can- didate and a municipal official. This time when-he knocked the door. opened for him in Grey North. And he will be one of the Liberal stalwarts. ~ - Even before the session he hit the news by demanding that the government fight the drought by hiring a rain-maker. This man knows how to make news.
