Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Commonwealth Effort Could Avoid Sanctions For many years the foreign aid programs of many Western coun- tries have included hefty allocations to assist India and Pakistan. Non- governmental agencies such as the Unitarian Service Committee have brought to our attention the dire need of the starving in these coun- tries. Now sanctions are being con- sidered against these people who so many have strived so long to help: Such are the illogical lengths forced by nationalism. But, not only are the sanctions proposed by U Thant against the warring nations ironic, they pose difficult problems of enforcement; and, of course, the nagging question of the justice of such action. As seen by the experts, an em- bargo against the shipment of food svould soon force both sides to halt fighting, but the lives of millions of innocent civilians might be imperil- led by malnutrition and starvation. A food embargo would seem un- likely. Most acceptable appears a pro- posal for an arms and equipment embargo, particularly against tanks and planes which are doing a great deal of damage but are being rapidly consumed in the savage and in- decisive battles. Thequestion is how the Secutity Council could make such an embargo work. While the West and Russia would co-operate, Red China which has already come to the assistance of Pakistan and has threatened India will be difficult to convince. One hope of avoiding the collision course of sanctions is seen by United Nations observers in a role for the Commonwealth in settling the dis- pute. A Commonwealth peace mis- sion is in the wings ready to try its hand at bringing a return to peace should the Security Council find its efforts completely thwarted, There's decisive role possible for the Commonwealth, While its en- deavors have been lack lustre of late, such is its background that it could bring a reconciliation between its two giant members. Immunization Reminder In 1948 diptheria killed 287 chil- dren in Canada. | That was the year the H League launched National I nization Week to tell parent: 4 children need not die in this way -- neither from diphtheria nor from any disease for which immunization is available. The result: In 1964 the death toll from diphtheria was five and the disease had long since been removed as a major cause of death. As with diphtheria, deaths from whooping cough have been cut from 416 to 26. Polio, which reached a high point of 8,878 cases and 481 deaths in 1953, was down to 19 cases and five deaths in 1964. To keep those figures down and to wipe them out, is the reason National Immunization Week has been held annually ever since 1943, and this year is being observed this week, Immunization is made possible by advances in medical science; but the public needs to be continually informed about what is available.

Other Editors' Views WORLD-WIDE PROBLEM The problem of people moving to urban areas is apparently a univer- sal one, It has raised its head even in the South Pacific. In Tahiti, for example, the capital city of Papeete now has 24,000 residents, which is one-third of the entire population of French Polynesia. The same thing is true in Fiji, Papua, Western Sa- moa and New Caledonia. To para- phrase the old song, it seems to be a question of how are you going to keep them down on the plantation after they've seen Papeete. --(Ottawa Citizen) ROMANTIC SINGAPORE (Ottawa Journal) It is a name that tells of romance and war, of tiny boats with big sails, of hulking smoke-grimmed tankers; of an outpost of British military might and British social conscience -- the latter in that strange two- fold way of the British that was for making every foreign land a bit of England and at the same time to take the British fairness and British humanitarianism to the world's four corners . , . and British commerce, vA LAA Se en cs DL nee Could Boost Taxes By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Higher taxes for Canadians emerge as a possi- bility from the report of the Fowler committee on broad- casting. "We recommend," said that committee, "that the financial requirements of the CBC, both capital and operating, should be provided by a statutory annual grant of $25 for each television household in Canada as re- ported by the Dominion Bureau of Statisties," The implication of this for- mula, in the view of many experienced observers here, is that in an early budget a new tax of $25 will be levied upon each household equipped with a TV set. And of course other taxes would not be reduced proportionately, since it is the gospel according to every fi- nance minister that expendi- tures expand to absorb every freed tax dollar. This formula would provide the CBC with $114,550,000 in the current year, appreciably. more than the $99,444,000 budgeted for the CBC by Finance Minister Walter Gordon. This is based upon TV now being used in 4,582,000 households, or just un- der 91 per cent of Canada's 5,035,000 homes. COSTS LESS ELSEWHERE The United States has only privately - operated broadcast- ing stations, financed, by ad- vertisers, so taxpayers there suffer no levy to support broad- casting.. In Britain the govern- ment - operated British Broad- casting Corporation -- which does not carry advertising-- operates alongside private sta- tions supported by advertisers. There, 12,885,331 homes with TV receivers each pay a_ licence fee of $12 to support the BBC. The Fowler committee with an appropriate touch of whimsy heads its chapter on The Fi- nancing of Broadcasting with a quotation from Sense and Sensi- bility by the 19th century Brit- ish novelist Jane Austen: "But you have such a gener- ous spirit," said Mrs, Dash- wood, iP , "TI would not wish to do any- thing mean," he replied, 'One had rather do too much than too little. No one, at least, can think I have not done enough for them; even they can hardly expect more," "There is no telling what they may expect," said the lady, "but we are not to think of their expectations; the question is, what you can afford to do." The question indeed is: What can the Canadian. taxpayer af- ford to support in the way of a CBC extravaganza? SWITCH TO CABLE TV? There may be a need to ine crease the $25 figure by 1971, the committee warns, This raises the possibility that many households would prefer to abandon direct TV reception at that price, and instead pay slightly more 1o hook onto a cable TV system which offers a wider choice of programs and better reproduction. On costs of the CBC, the Fow- ler committee has some pretty rough comments, The lush new headquarters building on a river bank -- a 20 - minute taxiride from Parliament Hill--"should be given up'; the 35-acre Don Mills site outside Toronto, in- tended for a $50,000,000 com- plex, should be abandoned; the $71,000,000 plans for consolida- tion in Montreal should be dis- carded, and new plans under- taken "as funds permit." The tale has been around Ot- tawa that the committee was staggered to learn during its probe what a low proportion of the CBC budget went on actual production; large sums are spent on such trimmings as the lavish headquarters with its 10 vice-presidents and a huge pub- lie relations staff--one of whose activities over many years has been to write letters to the edi- tors of Thomson newspapers criticizing this column's stric- tures of CBC extravagance, The committee urges certain staff cuts of nearly one-sixth. These and other economies would save $116,000,000 over the next five years, Radiation Protection Program For Workers In New Industry By BOB MacKENZIE OTTAWA (CP) -- Nuclear power stations still are a couple of years away from general operation in Canada but the radiation protection division of the health department already is expanding its film-monitoring service to protect workers in the new industry. The monitoring service, started in 1951, covers 17,000 Canadians working in places where possible hazards exist from radiation sources. Key. to the program is a small, rectag- ular badge containing a piece of specially-sensitized film simi- lar to that used for dental x-rays. The badges are worn contin- uously at work, with the film changed every two weeks and sent to the division's Ottawa lab for processing. The developed film records total radiation dosage received by its wearer and also indicates the type of radiation. Special computers and data- processing equipment take over to read the film, record the in- formation and produce slips showing an individual's radia- tion dosage for the two-week period along with totals for the last three months, the year to date and from the time the pro- gram started. EXPANDS QUICKLY Only .200 persons were cov- ered when the program started in 1951, says Dr. P. M. Bird, chief of the division. But in- creasing use, of. x-rays and radioactive isotopes in industry has changed that. "Now we cover more than 17,000 persons, and this doesn't include Atomic Energy of Can- ada Ltd. employees at Chalk River. They have their own program." Two different badges now are in use and a third is scheduled for distribution this fall. The regular model detects gamma and x-radiation, and another, introduced Jan. 1 checks neu- tron radiation produced by neu- tron generators and particle accelerators now in use at universities. But both take time to process, time that could be critical if immediate treatment was needed for high dosage. With strictly-enforced safety precautions, the possibility of accidents involving harmful radiation is remote, But with growing industrial uses, includ- ing the nuclear power plants now under construction, the need for a more immediate in- dication is growing. This is where the new badge comes in, Like the other models, it contains the sensitized film but will also have other indica- tors that can be checked on the spot. These include a radiation detection pellet, that will be processed along with the film and two tiny capsules contain- ing a powder that will fluoresce after exposure to radiation. One of these capsules can be checked on the site by the radi- ation protection officer. Then, if exposure is indicated, he can rush the remaining indicators to Ottawa for special process- ing While the film monitoring service is compulsory only for persons working with radioiso- topes, it is available on a vol- untary basis to anyone working with x-rays. "Almost 80 per cent of our badges are for people using x-rays," Dr. Bird said. "But the cost (15 cents every two weeks for the film) is so low for the protection it of- fers," The film service has one big advantage over similar pro- grams in Britain and the U.S.-- it is standard across the coun- try. vt) AOU ea au IN ANE EN By Paul Tissington Expressway Vision' Will Reach Reality Expressway?

The outcome could result in a lively mayoralty election in De- cember, 1966. Mayor Lyman Gifford is not dropping any hints on his re-election plans, But "insiders" believe there will be an election for mayor wheth- er Mr. Gifford is in the race or not The reasoning is simple. The mayor's present critics on 'coun- cil will have to "put up or. . .'* if he runs again. And if he doesn't, there are four, five and possibly six aldermen waiting in The up. And if council buys Ald. Pil- key's full-time mayor proposal (he is president of the labor council), including the accom. panying $10,000 to $15,000 sal- ary, the election will really be a dandy. DECISIONS DUE However, long before the next election, council will consider such "matters 'as: --a minimum standards hous- ing bylaw, urban renewal study, plans for the $1 million city hall addition, the airport, the pur- chase of the Legion property, pedestrian crossovers, recrea- tion and countless other less glamorous subjects and prob- lems For. council it promises to be a long, tiring winter and, as al- ways, a wordy one.

The stern-wheel steamer that helped get supplies up the river was drawn through Hell's Gate by a steam -winch and 150 Chinese pulling on a line. It was while on this trip that the Governor General got a tele- gram from William Van Horne, general manager of the CPR, stating that a route had been found through the Rockies, and the railway would be through to the Pacific by 1887. Still Vancouver Island wasn't satisfied. It wanted to break away from mainland British Columbia, Premier Beaven ask- ce Tn a ed the Governor General if Van- couver Island could become a separate Kingdom and have Princess Louise as its Queen.

And already there are fights. A group of producers has been to see Agriculture Minister Bill Stewart to protest the planned pooling arrangement. Under the new arrangement, all milk is fo be bought and sold through a central agency. The producers who have been complaining probably will have good reason to be afraid of this approach, They represent "high quota" men, mainly from the Toronto market, In fluid milk, producers get paid top price for that part of their milk which is taken under "quota" by the dairies - for bottling. On. the excess they get less, A farmer who is selling to a flourishing dairy does well, SOME SUFFER Some of them have been sell- ing 90 per cent of their milk under quota. Other farmers have been getting the quota price for only 50 and 40 per cent of their preduction. It is planned under the new program to eventually balance this off. The aim will be to apportion the market so that all producers get the same break. This is justified in that now a farmer is subject to the whims and the competitive flue- tuations of the market. A dairy can lose a big con- tract -- such as supplying a supermarket chain -- and the farmer suffers, Anl-through no fault of his own. An interesting point is that many producers who have been.. arguing against the pooling are suppliers to the Becker jug milk stores. These stores which have been discounting milk in the bigger centres have had a fantastic growth in the last few years, IN TOP BRACKET They have had such an ex- pansion that their suppliers are all in the top quota bracket, And they stand to lose most from the new system. Becker, itself, won't be a able to discount through econ- omies in other directions.

KEUPER NEW YORK (AP)--The U.S. steel industry, faced with higher labor costs and pricing prob- lems, is stepping up a_ vast modernization program. The aim is to increase profits. The outlay for new plants and equipment in this huge industry may top $2,000,000,000 for the first time in 1966, observers say. Many believe that the 3.2-per- cent wage increase won re- cently by the Steelworkers may have broadened steel company modernization plans, The American Iron and Steel Institute estimates steel compa- nies will spend a record $1,900,- 000,000 this year on projects de- signed to melt and roll steel more efficiently, Not since 1957 has the industry spent compar- able sums on modernization. But with profits now at a seven- year peak and production at record levels, steel mill after steel mill is showing a new face. The trend is visible almost everywhere in the industry: In fast - working oxygen furnaces replacing conventional open hearths; in computer-run mills; in streamlined methods of put- ting molten steel into semi- finished and finished shapes for the thousands of products that contain steel. "The industry has been facing up to getting its plants and equipment into more competi- tive shape,"' said a major steel company spokesman. LONG OVERDUE Critics of the industry say the modernization program was long overdue -- that it should have been launched on a vast scale in the years after the Second World War. But moder- nization has had a vast effect. Partly because of greater effi- ciency, the steel industry's pay- roll costs per ton of steel shipped dropped from $65.50 in 1961--to--$55.25 months of 1965, Higher steel prices, another way of increasing profits, have been a touchy prospect for the industry since 1962 when Presi- dent John F. Kennedy. rolled back a wave of. steel price boosts in a bitter government- industry battle. The same year, the industry put out $911,000,000 for capital projects, increased it to $1,040,000,000 in 1963, then to an estimated $1,600,000,000 in 1964, Competition from _ foreign steel, which made inroads dur- ing the industry's costly 116-day strike in 1959, also has speeded the industry's modernization pace, Some steel plant projects are enormous, Bethlehem Steel Corp, claims its $400,000,000 steel-rolling mill at Burns Har- bor, Ind., is the world's largest private construction project in progress, United States Steel Corp., the No. 1 US. ste@lmaker, an- nounced that it will spend $600,- 000,000 a year in the next three years on plants and equipment, EUROPEAN PROCESS Steelmaking advances include continuous casting of molten steel into semi-finished shapes, a European process that does away with some costly steps in the traditional steelmaking pro cess. in' the first six" YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO Sept. 20, 1950 Parkwood Farm and Stables were sold by Col, R.

Laziness Seen Worst Villain Physical laziness is a worse villain than diet in the hunt for causes of heart disease. Jean Mayer of the depart- ment of nutrition faculty at Har- vard, proved this when he made coniparative studies of inhabi- tants of a Swiss Alpine village and of a city district in Basel. The villagers ate enormously, as much as 5,006 calories a day, nearly a third of which came from animal fats (considered a chief contributor to high choles- terol levels in the bloodstream). The city workers consumed 1,000 calories less, on the average. Still, the tests 'showed the vil- jagers of all ages had lower cholésterol levels and less heart troubles, Conclusion: The much greater physical activity of the villagers made the difference.
