vives ges Ca on a 771) Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Steps To 'Tighten Money Can Sustain Prosperity The mention of "tight money" more often-than not has menacing connotations for Canadians. His- tory has associated it with times of depression in the minds of Cana- dians. Yet this does not appear the case in Canada this week with ac- tion taken for the tightening of the money supply. On the contrary, it can be argued that the steps taken have a greater tendency to sustain the present. prosperity than to bring on "bad times". As The Welland Evening Tribune points out there is strong evidence to indicate that the money supply remains adequate to support vir- tually all activity that can be jus- tified on the basis of other avail- able resources. The chief result is inflation, not healthy expansion, whenever investments are carried higher than the country's manpow- ey and other resources can handle économically. If the States version of "tight money" is going to have any victims in Canada, investments of this character are expected to be chief among them. Even without the slight tary curbs now being applied, Can- ada has been unable to keep up with capital spending program it had scheduled at midyear. And most of the failures did not result from lack of money, but from engi- neering and architectural bottle- necks and shortages of skilled con- mone- struction labor. This problem re- mains, without regard for the ex- tent of the money supply, in con- 'nection with plans already laid for an increase in capital spending by 12 per cent next year. Adding to the money supply can't accomplish it unless the other resources like wise are available. These circumstances: form the basis for the concern expressed last week by Louis Rasminsky, gover- nor of the Bank of Canada, over "clear signs that ... cost and price performance has begun to deter- iorate. during the past year" in Canada. In that same period, too, the cost of living index 3 climbed. by 3.7 points--a far more rapid advance by most than is considered "safe" economists--as compared with. the previous annual average increase of which itself high rise to some con- 2.2 points, was enough to give cern, What can be hoped is. that action this week of the Bank of Canada in raising its bank rate from 414 per cent to 4%4 per cent, and as a result of U.S. efforts to restrict by the Canadian U.S.¥irms, in these dangerous directions, the Wel- it is probably that capital expenditures is an easing of pressures If there is any danger, land paper says, sn't yet gone far enough threat Canada h: in facing tion. up to the of infla- Birthday Gift To Others Canadians will be given the op- portunity in 1967 of making a cen- tennial contribution to the people of less fortunate nations.

District For Ottawa 'Essentially Integrated Entity' By BENOIT HOULE OTTAWA (CP)--The_ oft-dis cussed idea of a federal district for Ottawa raises the question of advantages or disadvantages for 200,000 of the 650,000 French- Canadians in Ontario So, far only an unofficial dis cussion stage has been reached about a federal district similar to that of Washington. It would be 40 miles in diameter and would include the cities of Hull, Que., Eastview and Ottawa and at least a dozen other commu- nities. Total population would be more than 400,000. The subject is discussed in an article in La Vie Franco-Onta- rienne (French - Ontario Life), published by L'Association Ca- nadienne - francaise d'Educa- tion d'Ontario (The French-Ca- nadian~ Educational--Association of Ontario). Dr. Seraphin Marion writes that creation of a federal dis trict would .transform overnight the lives of the 200,000 French- Ontarians in the area. He says that--while--in-the-past-. the--650,- 000 French-Canadians in Ontario have been struggling to main- tain theirinherited identity against 10-to-1 odds, there would be an new situation in what, in effect, would be an 11th prov ince The political structure would entirely be unique, In the area 42 per cent of the population would be French-speaking, 58 per cent English-speaking; 60 per cent would be Roman Catholic; 40 per cent non-Catholic, "The conditions would be ideal to have in the heart of the country an entity that would be essentially integrated at the bi- ethnic and bilingual level," Dr. Marion says, EXAMPLE FOR CANADA Although small, the area could serve as an example to the rest of the country--how it is possi- ble for the two founding peoples to work together "in peace, hap- piness, armony and under- standing Sut. the 200,000 French-Onta- rians in the federal district "would cease to be Ontarians," and this would weaken the quantity and quality of the strength held by the French-On- tarian in his struggle to ayoid being absorbed by the English- Speaking population _ Among other-things,-says-Dr; Marion; L'Association Cana- dienne - francaise d'Education d'Ontario would ve to move its headquarters ve Ottawa to Taranto which: is the person- imperialism, anti- and hatréd of ,the ification of Catholicism French!" i ' DAILY RITUAL One HE Beside You? By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP)--Quitting time is as much a daily ritual in the North American busi- ness office as coming to work in the morning. The way an employee de- parts from his home-away- from-home shows his nature just as clearly as does the manner in which he arrives at it, If you check the lowing herd in your own white collar zoo, you might note the fol- lowing familiar characters at the hour of closing: Methodical Milton -- Some- body stole a paper clip over- night from Milton 15 years ago and he is determined never to let it happen again. He carefully puts everything that is on top of his desk in- side his desk, and checks each drawer carefully to see that it is locked, Thén he locks his file 'cabinet, and finally leaves triumphantly after padiocking his typewriter and hiding the cushion of his swi- vil, chair in his locker. Fun - loving Freddy -- As soon as Milton is gone, the office boy, who has keys. to every thing, opens Milton's desk, puts a well - chewed apple core in the top drawer, then relocks it. Milton will worry for a month how the apple got there. | Hangover Harry -- He has spent the day hiding out in the washroom, At 5:29, still a bit foggy, he whéels in and calls out, "Anybody ready for lunch? | found a great place-- the house buys every third martini." LEAVES EARLY Suburbanite Sam -- In the summer this prisoner of the outer spaces sneaks out at 5 p.m. so he can spend more time whacking away at his crabgrass before dusk. In winter he starts wrapping up in heavy clothing at 5 p.m, so he can make the long voyage home without freezing. Madcap Molly--The Cleopatra never gets done after 4 o'clock. From then on she tours the place, sitting on the desk of one jun- jor executive after another, swinging her shapely legs and indulging in. gay banter. Her big hope: One of them will weaken and take her to din- ner and a movie Wheelhorse Wilhur--To: this drudge the quitting hour of 5:36 is only an. interruption, He rises, wipes his myopie eyes, and begins to stack up the work he intends to take home with him, He no longer uses a briefcase. He fills a suitcase with it. The Great Man Himself--As soon as the gang goes, the boss clumps out to the empty room, looks around at the empty desks, "What a menagerie," he mumbles, Then, as he goes around switching out the lights; he grumbles: "Why do I have to think of everything around here?" Then, having completed his own biggest executive chore of the day, the boss goes home too, satisfied that the place would go to pot without him, office much YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO Dec. 11, 1949 Geheral Motors Choir, under the direction of R.
