eet ee ee Be: Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontariéd c Bed Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1963----PAGE 6 < Common Treasury Idea Fatal To Independence In Monday's Times we discussed the report of the Canadian-Amer- jcan Committee on its study of the proposal for a free trade agree- ment between Canada and the United States. It was mentioned that another proposal was for full economic union." An 'advocate of such a union is H. J. Maidenberg. Writing in the New York Times, he claims to have discovered in Canada a growing sentiment for economic union with the United States. We do not know where he conducted his research, but he says that "over and over as one talks with Canadian busi- nessmen and bankers on the prob- lem of integrating the economies of the two largest countries in North America, the world 'inevitable' keeps cropping up. How many Canadians view even closer ties to the U.S. as inescap- able must remain a moot question, but at any rate the author of the Times' article goes on to define economic union in terms that really mean something quite different: "economic union, which should not be confused with political integra- tion, consists basically of two goals. One is the elimination of tariff barriers; the other is a common currency and treasury for Canada and the United States." Mr. Maid- enberg may sincerely think other- wise, but if the two countries shar- ed a common currency and treas- ury, it would have to mean political integration -- in fact; political con- trol of Canada by. the United States. Reciprocity with the U.S. is an old issue here, of course, but the idea of a common currency is a new element. "The Canadian dollar," Mr. Maindenberg writes in support of this new suggestion, "was de- valued in May, 1962, to 92.5 cents after being pegged, artificially some thought, at more than an American greenback. To foreign investors in Canadian industry or securities, it meant that holders of $1,000 of property found it worth $925." But it is unlikely that long- term investors are unduly disturbed by such fluctuations, and in any event the U.S. investor who now sends $1,000 north of the border obtains property or securities worth $1,075. Regarding the other goal of eco- nomic union the Times' article ad- vances the following theory, one - that is not likely to be popular with the American public: "With a free movement of commerce across the border, Canadian industry would have a market of more than 200,- 000,000 customers. Lower wage costs in Canada -- 70 per cent of those in the United States -- would provide the cushion during transi- tion, economic unionists say." Even on a short-term basis, would U.S. unions accept any large volume of low-wage imports and a consequent loss of employment? Aside from all the economic argu- ments that might be- advanced there remains the basic point that Canadians value their political in- dependence. Poor Show All Around When a vote was called in the House: of Commons one day last week, almost one hundred of Par- liament were absent. Fifty of them were Liberals, the remainder mem- bers of the opposition parties. "A poor show, all around," says the Hamilton Spectator, "and one that should be noted with interest by the taxpayers, and remembered." We agree with that statement, and with the Spectator's following comment: It's amazing that high-priced representatives of the people should so love the "long weekend" that getting back to work on Monday is like pulling teeth without benefit of laughing gas. That's the excuse, of course, for the scarcity of the hired parliamentary help on that par- ticular day. All told, 167 of them voted in a decision that saw the government defeated, 85-82. That means that exactly 98 constituen- cies went unrepresented when the ayes and the nays were recorded. We would suggest that all MPs make good and sure they spend every day of every work week in Ottawa. Only a good excuse like being really sick or "important business that concerns the country' should be acceptable for an ab- sence from work. The House of Commons is not a glorified country club, and all of its members should take their work seriously. At least they should pretend they do. As for the vote itself, it fortu- nately wasn't of sufficient impor- tance to unseat the government, One day, though, a really impor- tant one could be called on the spur of the moment, and the gov- ernment could be defeated because too many of its supporters were nowhere to be found. In which case, the House of Commons will defini- tely deserve the reputation for in- dolence and' ignorance it already unfortunately has in some circles, At the moment, even in thought- ful circles, its performance is be- ing viewed with some disgust.

REPORT FROM U.K. Population Mobile In Historic Town By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times BROADSTAIRS, Kent -- Broadstairs, the Kent coast town which was made famous by the novelist, Charles Dick- ens, can make claim that it is a town with a seven-year itch. A house-to-house check of its in- habitants has enabled the town officials to discover an astonish- ing thing about their town. This is that it changes its residents every seven years, This does not, of course, mean that everyone leaves to be re- placed by a new batch of resi- dents. But if the permanent resi- dents are balanced against the large number who move on after living there for a day or YOUR HEALTH Some Fats Needed For Healthy Body By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD. Dear Dr. Molner: Do we need a daily intake of fat, or do we get enough from fruits and veg- etables? When a person is put on a non-fat diet, the doctor usually prescribes a vitamin to make up for its loss. I have been told that a certain amount of fat is necessary to keep the skin from drying.--B. T. Yes, we need some fat, but no harm would come if we missed eating it on any given day. In this country, too much fat is a more common problem than too little. The amount of fat from fruits or vegetables, however, is very slight, with the exception of oils extracted from corn, safflower seed, cottonseed. Nuts and olives are fairly high in fat. Most of our fat comes from meat, milk, butter and fish. A good bit comes from spreads, flavoring and fat used in cook- ing. Why do we need fat? Energy; healthy skin; nerves; mainten- ance of body weight. Fat has two and a quarter times the calories of equal weights. of pro- tein or carbohydrate. While some fats are essential for general health, their restric- tion is effective in losing weight. Fats likewise are a _ good source of Vitamin A. A non-fat diet would be rather difficult to devise; however, a low-fat diet is quite practical. There are many other sources of Vitamin A -- yellow vege- tables, most green vegetables, egg yolks, fish-liver extracts, In two, the average stay is only seven years. : Broadstairs: has a population of about 17,000, more or less. Officials had suspected for some time that it was frequently. mov- ing. Houses changed hands so rapidly and often that they found tax notices in large num- bers going to the wrong occu- pants. So the house-to-house check was made and it pro- duced the seven-year period as the average stay. HAVEN FOR LONDONERS One reason for this rather un- usual, situation is that Broad- stairs has become a_ favorite haven of retirement for London- ers. They move there to be by the sea, in a quiet atmosphere, after retirement. Then the hus- band or wife dies, and the sur- India, for*xample, lack of Vit- amin A is responsible for eye disease; skin and teeth may also suffer. In India food itself is scarce; animal food products and dairy products are. unobtainable for some. But I can't see any reason for alarm here over lack of fats, of Vitamin A, unless someone de- liberately adopts a freakish diet. Cholesterol (and other fatty substances) in the blood are strongly suspected of playing a part in hardening of the arter- ies. Reducing the amount of ani- mal fat we consume appears to lower the cholesterol level. Veg- etable fats, on the other hand, are not harmful and also tend to lower the cholesterol level. It's a question of 'saturated fats' or animal derived fats, versus '"'polyunsaturated," which by and large are vege- table-derived. The vegetable oils (and margarine, which con- tains them) have fhe same ca- loric value as other types of fat, so using more of them and less of animal fat is probably an aid to health. Dear Dr, Molner: What is the cause of psoriasis--MRS, J. L. It is not known, There are several treatments, and if the doctor guesses right, the psor- iasis is helped. Other times he may try all the known treat- ments .and the psoriasis con- tinues. The one. consolation is that while psoriasis is unsightly, it.doesn't harm health. 4% ONLY' 7 BONUS DAYS LEFT To Receive a Big ON YOUR SAVINGS FROM NOV.

DOWNTOWN OSHAWA "Canada's Largest Independent Trust Co." viving partner goes back to be near relatives or friends. A spokesman for the town council gave this explanation: "The bungalow turnover is terrific. In some cases bunga- lows have had three owners in as many years. Our problem is one of keeping up to date 'with the changes. It was easy when the water undertaking was under the control of the council We simply 'made a note when new occupiers asked for the water to be turned on. Now it is no longer customary 'to turn off water at the main, and the town officials have to rely on the co-operation of real estate agents, solicitors and their own observation."" MERCHANTS' PROBLEMS This rapid change in popuia- tion has another disadvantage. The local storekeepers say that the changing of occupants of so many homes creates special problems for them. They find a disproportionate. amount of time has to be spent m attract- ing new customers, especially in lines of business where vans deliver the goods right to the doors. Bakers and milkmen, for in- stance, were particularly hard hit until they devised a zoning system to eliminate wasteful competition. Credit, too, is a constant worry, because traders hardly have time to get to know their customers before they have to Start all over again. There are some signs, how- ever, that a greater stability may soon be_ introduced into the population of Broadstairs. New industries are coming into the town and. the immediate area, and a new trend is notice- able. The demand for accommo- dation is switching from bunga- lows for retired couples to family-size -houses. There is 'one thing which everybody agrees on in Broad- Stairs. It is a real business paradise for the real estate agents. TODAY IN 'HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 5, 1908... Britain, following the lead of Russia, declared war on Turkey 49 years ago today-- in 1914--after two German warships which had become units of the Turkish Navy but under German com- mand, attacked Russian ships and ports in the Black Sea. France also declared war on Turkey. Germany had offered the ships--Bres- lau and Goeben--to Turkey after the British govern- ment commandeered two Turkish dreadnoughts under construction in Britain. 1688--William 6f Orange Janded in Britaiy. 1930--Sinclair Lewis was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. nd OTTAWA REPORT Limit On Growth Of Urban Regions By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Our government should take steps to stop our big cities getting bigger while our depressed areas become more depressed. This was tne theme of the common - sense plea appeallingly made by Dr. Pauline' Jewett. when the House of Commons was debating oe to the Income Tax ct. Pauline Jewett is one of the unusually able MPs newly wel- comed into Parliament after the upheaval in membership caused by April's election. She won the Ontario constituency of Northumberland for the Liberal party from the sitting Conserv- ative member. True, she did not start her parliamentary ca- reer on the top rung as a front- bench cabinet minister, as her fellow newcomer Trade Minis- ter Sharp did. Pauline, the for- mer professor of economics and political science at Ottawa's Carleton University, just made it into the back row in the Commons chamber. But she is already recognized as a distin- guished member of that group who can and do contribute brains rather than boorishness to the proceedings of Parlia- ment. AID BACKWARD AREAS Miss Jewett addressed the House with especial reference to measures to provide incen- tives to industries which could raise the level of production and employment in Canada's areas of slower growth. Other countries do this, as her studies have shown her; why cannot we she asked. s For social reasons, as well as for economic reasons, she said, we should be concerned not to PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM If a man thinks he's, Napoleon and nobody agrees with him. he becomes an inmate of an asy- lum; if the masses agree with him, he becomes a dictator. We wonder why Nature is stockpiling women. More girls are being born than boys, and women are outliving men. "To govern is to choose," says Presiflent Kennedy. To do almost anything else is to choose also. Teaching students by playing recorded lessons to them while they sleep is a big step for- ward in education, particular- ly if this method is 'effsctive in teaching those who can't learn while awake. focus expansion on certain areas only. This is a problem understood by most countres: Britain, for example, is taking vigorous steps to prevent the area around London over-ex- panding at the cost of the rest of the country. So too, Miss Jewett said, we should worry about the Toronto district, the Golden Horseshoe, becom- ing 'oo congested. Unless devel- opment is spread out across the country, with industry and hence emp\pyment being shared out, we 1 lose our proud boast of being "a nation from sea to sea." And we presum- ably want to keep the nation from sea to sea, she added, underlining that our big prob- lem is to keep our nation a viable entity from sea to sea. The risk we face is that two or three "golden horseshoes" scat- tered between sea and sea will hog all the wealth, and offer all the jobs, while the rest of Canada will be thousands of miles of under-developed eao- nomic desert. LOOK AT OTHERS _Dr. Jewett gave interesting figures showing how Canadians QUEEN'S PARK Opposition Shows It will Be Lively By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The opposition has a good line-up in this new House. It did not have too much time to. show up at the short session, but there was enough to indicate it probably will make things interesting. The Liberal front row has Farquhar Oliver as leader, flanked by Elmer Sopha of Sud- bury and Arthur Reaume of Es- sex North. Mr. Oliver is an old hand and when he wants to be can be very effective. But the important change is in moving Mr. Sopha up from the second row to one of the top three positions. Mr. Sopha made it evident in the two day session that he would be handling much of the attack by the Liberals. And this means the attack will be cut- ting. The Sudbury Liberal is easily one of the sharpest men in the house and makes well with the words--there is not a better speaker in any party. The NDP have put a fresh- man, E.

The 17 metropolitan areas of Canada are home to 45 per cent of our population. This is a disproportionate share of population between our 159 cit- es, 499 towns and 232 villages now incorporated and each with a population of 1,000 or more. But we are not a people afraid to move. Between 400,000 and 500,000 Canadians change , their province of residence every year, she said. In the U.S. the determination to seek after. employment is more ag- ° gressive; there one citizen in every five changes his state of residence every year. W could copy other countries in measures to encourage fuller - employment. There are two ap- proaches, she pointed out. Mo- bility of labor is one; the other is to foster the location of plants where labor pools exist. Britain, for example, gives a direct grant of 25 per cent of the cost of buildings and 10 per cent of the cost of machinery to plants which will locate into designated areas; the govern- ment there also provides sub- _ Stantial loans, as do most Eu- nopean countries, to such indus- tries; further, plants in under- developed districts may write off their capital costs as fast as they like against taxes. Such policies could well be adopted by Canada at the fed- eral and certainly at the pro- vincial level, Dr. Jewett sug- gested. William, in their second front row seat beside leadet Donald MacDonald.
