he Oshawa Fines | Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1964 -- PAGE 6 University President Defends Grade 13 Idea Dr. Claude Bissell, president of the University of Toronto, this week made a strong defence of Grade 18. In an .address to the North York Junior and Senior High School Principals' Association he noted that "a suggestion has been made that the Grade 13 year should be taken away from the secondary schools," and added "if I were a high school principal I would be deeply concerned about this sugges- tion." The weakest part of his argu- ment was that the shifting of Grade 13 from high schools to the pro- posed Community Colleges would mean a loss of scholarly influence by the secondary schools. This is a questionable proposition; many good senior teachers are disenchanted with the present Grade 13 system, because it is inflexible in its grim preparation for the final depart- mental examination. That inflexibility also weakens Dr. Bissel's contention that "Grade 13, with all its faults, is a year of scholarship, of intellectual matur- ity." For a few students, it may be. But for most, it is a year, not of preparation for the radical intellec- tual shift to university life, but of preparation for the ordeal of the final exam. Dr. Bissell is on much firmer ground when he argues that the weaknesses in the present Grade 13 are "no reason for throwing the baby out with the bath water." We hope he is justified in his belief that "if Grade 13 survives the proposals for compression (the squeeze), elimination (the axe), and removal to another institution (the steal), and if the centralized de- partmental examination goes by the board, as it must, there will be an opportunity to make Grade 13 a year of deeper concentration on fewer subjects, a more reward- ing experience for students and teachers alike, and a better prepara- tion for university work. With © fewer subjects there would be more time for exploration, time for essay- writing, time to get full value out of the great range of first-rate teach- ing aids ... time to introduce stu- dents to appropriate scholarly jour- nals, time for the extra-curricular activities of the intellect." But only such a change would justify the retention of Grade 13. 'Limited Peace' Era A stalemate of power has pro- duced the possibility of a secure peace in the opinion of Adlai Ste- venson, U.S. representative at the United Nations. Mr. Stevenson is unquestionably a man of peace, but he is also a realistic man. His reason- ing, stated in the course of the Dag Hammarskjold Memorial lecture at Princeton University, should be noted particularly by the neutralists and ban-the-bomb groups. "I would suggest," said Mr. Ste- venson, "that we have begun to move beyond the policy-of contain- ment; that the central trend of our times is the emergence of what, for lack of a better label, might be called a policy of ceasefire, and peaceful change. I would suggest, further, that we may be approach- ing something close to a world consensus on such a policy. No analogy is ever perfect, but if the policy of containment stands for 'limited war', then the policy of ceasefire perhaps stands for 'limit- ed peace'. I believe this mutation is occurring because the H-bomb has made 'limited war' too danger- ous. "Only a few decades ago, once hostilities broke out between the armed forces of two nations, it was assumed with good reason that, since the war was started, the war would proceed until one nation or one side had won' and the other had 'lost' -- however foolish or futile the whole thing might be. "Since that time there have been Bible Thought Ye looked for much, and lo it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the Lord of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man to his own house.-- Haggai 1:9. First -- God -- then Others -- lastly self. Try it sometime for a God ordained and blest life.

On at least another 20 oc- casions there has been minor fight- ing on disputed frontiers, or armed revolts which usually involved the national interests of an outside state. Any of them would have qualified as a causus belli in an- other day. "This record of violence without war suggests, then, that we may have slipped almost imperceptibly into an era of peaceful settlement of disputes -- or at least an era of ceasefires while disputes are pur- sued by other than military means. I would only suggest that perhaps Korea was the end of the road for classical armed aggression against one's next door neighbor; that per- haps Suez was the end of the road for colonial-type military solutions; and that perhaps Cuba was the end of the road for nuclear confronta- tion... "The sheer arbitrament of force is no longer possible." Other Editors' Views THE BEATLES (Ottawa Citizen) We would imagine that the sociologists are divided into two schools of thought about the Beat- les. One would say that their ap- peal lies in their nonconformity ; rebelious youth, persuaded that it has enough conformist restrictions in the home, where it is expected to help with the dishes, to shovel out the driveway occasionally, and to wash behind the ears, finds in the Beatles' unbridled freedom the kind of life it would like to lead. A second school of sociologists would say that the Beatles re- present an escape from reality and the boredom of daily routine, FLAG NEEDED (Windsor Star) So much has been said, and so many jokes made, about. the lack of a Canadian flag, that many Canadians regarded the subject as a joke. It is no joke. Canada needs a new flag, and a proper design could make a great. contribution to sorely-needed national unity. The Liberal government -- has about 18 months in which to fulfill its promise to submit a design for a new flag to Parliament within two years of taking office. It's to be hoped that the promise will be met well before the deadline, and with @ proper design. LEAP YEAR PROPOSAL QUEBEC OPINION Charge Shipping Policy Gives Competitors Edge This s a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada, Trois - Rivieres Le Nouvel- liste--Our policy in the mer- chant shipping field can only be attributed to factors for- eign to Canada and contrary to Canadian. interests, These factors are the agreements giving a favorable position to vessels from Britain and other Commonwealth coun- tries in coastal shipping. As our ships cannot compete, in our inland waters, with the foreign fleets, we are driving our own merchant marine to extinction. In 1947, 20.2 per cent of the ships handling Canada's mari- time transportation flew the Canadian flag. By 1958 the proportion had sunk to .2 per cent, at which level. it has stayed. The Canadian government, when Leon Balcer was trans- port minister, established a program of subsidies for shipbuilding. Vessels totalling 26,300 tons were subsidized to the extent of $2,674,000, repre- senting a federal contribu- tion of 35 per cent of their cost. But what is the use of such a program if, as a re- sult of unfair competition, ships built in our yards are not in a position to operate at a profit? The vessels will end up being sold abroad and our government subsidizing for- eign maritime industry, How can Canada practice a policy so harmful to the coun- try? Would the government allow foreign air lines.to com- pete with local enterprise in- side Canada? This policy of suicide imposed by Britain on a former colony cannot be explained other than by a de- sire to make the interests of a foreign people prevail over ours. ... It has been recommended that we maintain a merchant fleet able to carry 40 to 50 per cent of our trade, raise federal subsidies for ship con- struction to 40 per cent to bring prices closer to the Brit- GALLUP POLL ish level and, above all, de- nounce the 1931 convention giving exorbitant advantages to British ships. That is the only way to save the ship- building industry. (April 6) Montreal La Presse--Pres- sures are said to be growing for Ottawa to modify its bill dealing with foreign maga- zines, On all sides Mr. Pear- son is being asked not to make an exception in the case of the Canadian editions of Time and Reader's Digest. These pressures are fully justified. They are inspired by the pufest logic, If we fwant to save our periodical press, we must at all costs prevent foreign magazines from coming and taking the bread, meaning Canadian ad- vertising, out of its mouth. Opponents of this thesis claim that the holy principle of freedom of expression is being threatened, that it would be violated if our busi- ness firms were hindered in selecting periodicals, foreign or Canadian, in which to ad- vertise. The Globe and Mail has particularly exploited this point of view. It has said that "a fundamental principle," the freedom of advertising, is at stake and that an advertise- ment is essentially a form of news, with the same right to freedom from any official censorship. Such an argument borders on sophistry. Equating ads with news is going a little too far. At this rate the sales- man who comes to our door announcing his excellent bar- gains is a sort of newspaper- man, The advertisement is, in fact, quite simply the solicit- ing phase of the selling pro- cess. It can be regulated with- out harm to freedom of the press, It has already been decreed in Montreal that the merchant cannot solicit your business from the street or the sidewalk. Nobody has seen in this any blow to freedom of speech. . . .--Vincent Prince. (April 9) More Canadians Favor Red China Recognition By CANADIAN INSTITUTE of PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) More and more Canadians are turning to the belief that Canada should recognize Com- munist China. Today a majority (51 per cent) claim this country should recognize and have diplo- matic relations with Red China. Five years ago only 32 per cent were for recognition of China. In 1959 this same trend ques- tion was asked by Gallup Poll interviewers and 44 per cent of the people were against recog- nition. Today 33 per cent are against and the majority in favor of recognizing Red China. Among political parties, the Conservatives. are most reluc- tant (36 per cent) to give re- cognition, although a majrority Yes, recognize No, not recognize . No opinion Conservatve (51 per cent) in that party also favor recognition, Fifty six per cent among Liberals and 61 per cent in other parties want Can- ada to have dealings with Com- munist China. The question: "Do you think Canada should or should not recognize the Com- munist government in China, that is, appoint an ambassador to China, and have dealings with that government?" 1959 Today Yes, should recognize 32 51 No, should not 44 33 No opinion 4 16 100% 100% How those in different politi- cal parties view recognition of Red China today: Liberal Other 56% 61% 27 28 17 1 100% 100% Montreal Le Devoir -- We like Quebec's retirement pen- sion plan for its realism and sense of proportion, A key characteristic of the plan is its universality. It will be obligatory, not only for wage - earners, but for the self-employed, In this way farmers, tradesmen and small businessmen will also be covered. The premiums are lower than expected. That's an agreeable surprise. The ceil- ing foreseen for incomes cov- red by the plan is lower than union leaders would like it to be. These twin characteristics will leave a significant mar- gin for the development of complementary private schemes. The scales of premiums and payments were uniform in the federal plan. The big wage- earner was thus favored at the expense of the small. The Quebec project fortunately rovides for norms of contri- tions and benefits taking into account different wage levels and age categories, On the whole, the benefits fore- seen under the Quebec plan will be 25 per cent higher than those set out in Miss La- Marsh's revised project. The Quebec plan looks as if it will be more generous in the case of widows. Also, for the bene- iit of invalids and orphans, it contains interesting clauses that Ottawa was unable to include in its project... . Two problems remain. in- tact: That of Quebec recover- ing the $75 monthly pension at present paid by Ottawa and that of old age assistance, which Quebec also wants to take over, These two prob- lems will have to be solved sooner or later in the spirit of Quebec's legitimate claims. But Mr. Lesage was right in having a plan drawn up whose operation will not nec- essarily be 'linked to the so- lution of these dangling ques- tions. . . .Claude Ryan, (April 11) TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 18, 1964... The 26 southern counties of Eire severed their last ties with Britain 15 years ago today--in 1949--and be- came the Republic of Ire- land. Ireland became inde- pendent--after 780 years of British rule--on the 33rd an- niversary of the 1916 Easter rebellion 1906--Earthquake and fire virtually destroyed San Francisco. 1946 -- The International Court of Justice was estab- lished at The Hague, PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM The oldster doesn't realize that among many things that aren't what they used to be is the oldster himself, Most people have to work their way through life; others know. how to sweet-talk their way through it. AJ UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Price Inflation Threat _ Grows With Prosperity increases, but it would be quite legislation to deal with, By M. McINTYRE HOOD things. In the last year, fac- tories increased their produc- tion by seven per cent. In- comes rose by an average of five per cent. Profits of com- panies rose by seven per cent and dividends by five per. cent. Investments at home and abroad increased by four and half per cent, or $657 million. On its balance of payment, the difference between what is earned by exports and paid for imports, the year finished with @ favorable balance of $363 mil- lion, the best figure since 1929. On the other hand, aid to underdeveloped countries, mili- tary spending overseas and cap- ital investments abroad pro- duced a net loss of $441 million. NOW THE WARNING Good as all this news is, especially in an election year, it does have its dangerous side, and this is stressed in the Treas- ury report. It sees a very real danger of inflation in the growth of demand for goods due to the rise in incomes and the growth of prosperity at home. Inflation at this time could have a very serious effect on the balance of payments in overseas trade. Excessive demand, without cor- responding increases in produc- tion, could force prices up so that Britain's exports would no longer be competitive in world markets. Because of this, the Treasury fears that Britain may have gone ahead too rapidly in the last. year. Coupled with this is an expression of regret that only slight progress has been made towards a by the trade unions and by indus- trialists as well, of an income restraint policy which is today the paramount need in the na- tional economy. There is n this, of course, a strong political angle. The Trades Union Congress, while participating in the work of the National Economic Develop- ment Council, has shown no de- sire to co-operate in wage in- crease restraint. Some of the union leaders have flatly deciar- ed that they were not prepared to work wi a Conservative government in limiting wage READERS' VIEWS THANKS Dear Sir: I am delightec to send to you and your newspaper the sin- cere appreciation of the Ontario Society for Crippled Children for the generous support you have given to our Easter Seal Campaign.

Comm., CA QUESTION: In your. previous column you discussed the "fed- eral" tax credit applicable to foreign income. I am told that an additional "provincial" tax credit is available, which cal- culation is not shown on the in- come tax retu Is this true, and if so, could you please ex- ain? ANSWER: Yes, you are cor- rect, a reduction of tax may be available if you re- ceived foreign income. To illus- trate, we assume the following: Net Income, $10,000.00; Tax- able income $6,900.00; Dividends received from General Motors Corporation, gross $1,000.00, net $850.00; Federal tax payable $1,284.00; Old age security tax $90.00; total federal tax pay- able $1,284 plus $90.00) $1,374.- 00; provincial tax payable (17% of $1,284) $218.28. The first reduction of tax ex- plained: previously would be the lesser of: ()a foreign tax with- held, $150.00, or (b) that pro- portion of total federal tax that foreign income bears to total in- come, that is, one-tenth of $1,374.00 or $137.40. The second reduction of tax is determined as the lesser of: (a) the difference of the foreign tax withheld and the federal tax credit, being $12.60 ($150.00 minus $137.40), or (b) that pro- portion of provincial tax that foreign income bears to total net BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO April 18, 1924 The Oshawa War Memorial Committee, headed by Dr. T. E. Kaiser, made an appeal for $27,000 for the erection of "The Garden of the Unforgotten." Of this amount, $16,300 was raised in two days. Alexander McKenzie, one of East Whitby's pioneers, died at his home at the age of 90. Word was received from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that'a stone was being shipped to Oshawa to be used in the War Memorial Pearl Thertell, Base Line, won the Reformer-Toronto Star Jacks Contest in Oshawa and qualified to enter the Dominion Championship, Richard Bassett, Athol street east, well-known. and re- spected' 'citizen of Oshawa, died at his home at the age of 78. Rev. F. J. Maxwell attended the graduation ceremony at Knox College when his son, W.D. Maxwell, received his Bachelor of Arts degree. - EX PROSPECTING SYNDICATE Supervision of prospecting will be headed in the field by R. A.

Oshawa came third in the Province of Ontario in customs collections and sixth in Canada with the amount of $6,277,728 for fiscal year ending March 31. The Duke of Connaught, for- mer Governor General of Can- ada, sent word to C. J. Wilcox, secretary of the War Memorial Committee, that a stone from his estate in England had been shipped for use in the Memo- rial.

It is apparent that the second tax credit would amount to $12.60; also, the combined tax credits entirely offset the foreign tax withheld. In effect, the second tax credit precliudes double taxation of foreign income at the provin- cial level. ' As stated by you, this calcu- lation is not illustrated or evi- dent on the prescribed income tax form. Note: No Consideration is given to the foreign exchange factor which should be included in the above calculations, QUESTION: Am I required to report interest from my Gov- ernment of Canada bonds in the year the interest is earned or in the year the coupons are cashed? ANSWER: Interest is normal- ly required to be reported when the coupons are cashed. QUESTION: Do I have to re- port the unemployment insur- ance benefits I received in 1963? ANSWER: No. Unemployment insurance payments are not in- cluded in the computation of your 1963 income. QUESTION: I am_ separated from my wife. The terms of the separation agreement are word- ed as follows: (a) My 'wife has custody of the children; (b) my wife does not receive a separation allow- ance; (c) I must pay for the upkeep of the children. Could you please tell me if the payments I make qualify as a deduction on my tax return? ANSWER: You may deduct these payments provided the following conditions prevail: (1) The payments are made pursuant to a court order; (2) 'the payments are made on a periodic basis, and (3) you are living apart from your spouse.
