Industril R eport The Bownianvllle Industrial Commission repart for January submittcd by K. N. Marr-is, the Industrial Commissianer was as foila)ws: "The inaugural meeting o! the Bowmanville Industrial Commission waz held on Jan- uary Oth and the first regular inonthly meeting on, January 20th. "In adopting precedural rules, the Commission agrecd on the necessity o! preserving utmost secrccy as te the identity a! commercial and industrial pros- pects, and the sites in whlch they are interested, until such tirne as they authorize public announcementi. As a result, the jCommission's reports ta Coun- cil will necessarily refer te many prospects by code name or num- ber only. Suggest Removal of Shed J'The statua o! varlous com- mercial proecets was reviewed. The Commission expressed its pleasure that the Grand Union Supermarket and the Canadien Tire Associate Store had pur- chased the Hollingshead and Simpkin propertica on Church Street, thus ensuring the re- t placement of ugly and non-pro:- ductive structures, by handsomce and rcvenue-Producing ncw *stores, and up-grading the ex- isting commercial area. Var- i5 ous means e! further irnprov- ing the area were considered and several pertinent studies were authorized. As part of its plan to develop additional sites for desirable commercial ven- 5tures and off-street parking, the Commission hereby recam- mends te Town Council that the present Works Department shed be rcmovcd at the earliest pas- Ssible date. As the studies pro- -gress, furthtr recom-meî'-dations 5will b. forthcoming. "The status o! our existing industries, end the steps that should be taken ta accure new industries, were carefully re- E viewed at these meetings. Whîle - conscious of the rnany advan- -tages Bowmanville can offer a prospective industry, the Com- mission la agreed that there ara two major obstacles that must ,be overcome if aur town la ta a ha equal or superior ta the 1 many towns and cities with - which we are in competition. "These obstacles are (1) the -lack of tawn-awned and fuily- à serviced industrial sites, and (2) the lack o! a local company *that can finance and construct t factory buildings on demand for r credit-approved prospects. f Tentative plans for overcom- g ing these difficulties were in- a stituted, and considerable pri- e grecsa has already been achiev- d ed. Té aid the Commission In de- t. veloping Ias plans, and s0 that AMacDuff Ottawa Report Alice in Ottawa el w Ir tl Ir ji OTT'AWA - Pariament Hill1 has been a topsy-turvy, Alice- in-Wonderland sort o! place ever since the session got under- wzay a few weeks ago. There was Prime Minister Diefenbaker, for example, tell- Ing a 200-man delegation from the Canadian Labour Congreas, vith ail due solemnity, it could not expect the government ta ncrease expenditures and at the smre time lower taxes. ."I say to you with the utmost good feeling that you can't have It both ways," the prime minister declared. A few short months ago the sarne John Diefenbaker w3s promising Canadians with the .itmost good feclilng that they not only could, but would havc it bath ways. And then there was Hon. Lester Pearson, lead- er o! the Liberal party. Speak- ing on the Throne Speech de- bate, lie came very close ta urg- ing, nay demanding, that the govcrnment increase taxes this îrear, which is a very incongru- ous thing for a leader o! Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition ta do. Actually, there is a fairly sim- ple explanation for this strange, upside-down situation. Il al stemsa from the fact that the prime minister in part carr.ied out his promise ta let Canadians have it bath ways. In the session that followed the election on June 10, 1957, the n-inority Conservative gav- ernmcnt made far-reaching coin- mitments ta increase expendi- turcs and lower taxes. As a re- suit of this step, the federal government faces a budget dc- ficit in the year endîng March S31 of close to $1 billion. In ad- dition, it must raise another $600 million, approvimately, fa)r housing 'bans and other pur- poses. To keep itsel! afloat, the gov- ernment must raise new money by sellng bonds ta the tune o! 1%' billion dollars. Since the public has refuscd ta buy thcm, the Band o! Canada has almost literally had to print the money. Ta put it another way, the Bank o! Canada has given the char- tered banks the money with which te buy the government's bonds. Although It was largely inci- dental, the c!fect o! this move by the Conservative goverfi- ment was ta help create cm- ployment bath directly and in- directly. At the samne time, how- ever, the money being churn- cd out by;'thc Bank o! Canada ta maintain the program threa- tens, in not too many months, to touch of! a runaway infla- tien. Alrcady a number o! char- tered bank heads have warned o! the danger ahead. The Lib- eral leader considered it seriau3 enough te warrant caliing foi higher taxes. Hazen Argue, the CCP leader in the Commons, put forward a motion condemn- the topographical features of varlous industrial areas can be graphically portrayed to indus- trial prospects and other inter- ested persons, extra prints of the topographie map and en-I largements of various aerial survey photos have been pur- chased and will be suitably mnounted." Paua Monthly Aceounts Accounts for the month wer.- passed. Councillor Ivan Hobbs, chairman of the finance com- mittee stated that accounts tu- talllng $13,384.64 had been ex- amined and found correct. He [moved they be passed for pay- ment. The motion was seconded by Deputy-Reeve Jack Brough. Roads and streets account.s amounted to $10,296.56. Motion for payment was made by De- puty-Reeve Jack Brough, chair- man of the roads and streets committee, and it was second- ed by Councillor Keith Lath- angue. Councillor 0. J. Pres- son, chairman of the public pro- perty comn-ittee, seconded by Councillor Lathangue, recom- n-ended that accounts of $350.- 10 be passed for payment. The chairman of the cemet- ery committee, Couicilor A. H. Sturrock, moved that accounts, o! $35.44 be passed. Councillori Presson seconded this motion.1 Councillor Lathangue, chairman1 of the police committee, movredi that account.s o! $81.58 be pass- ed. Councillor Presson was the seconder. Councillor Ken Nicks, chair- man of the lire committee pre- sented accounts amounting ta $118.58 and moved that pay- ment be made. This wvas second- ed by Councillor Hobbs. Reeve W. David Higgon, -econded b.ý- Deputy-Reeve Brough moved that Industrial Commission ac- countm of $34.50 be passed. VuJTfy MANI NOUDAY ing the govennment for failing ta take stepi te corfibat it,, daimn- ing It te be the problem facing the greatest 4umber of Cana- dians today. At present tax rates, the gav- ernment can 1look !orward to another budiget deficit of around $1 billion in the year ahead, as the Canadian Tax Foundation has already pointed out. If thîs la the case it will add mora fuel ta the f Ires of inflation and fiýrther undermine the market for its own securities. Prime Minister Diefenbaker apparently understands his di- lemma very well. "In the event that wc place moncy into the stream and expand credit, there is an inflatianary trend," he ex- piained to the House. "If wc do not, we allow those Who are uncmployed ta suffer. There is ane of the major problcrns that econamists have not been able ta answcr today To a certain extent Prime Minister Diefenbaker must choose between unernplayment and inflation. Unemployment la the immediate probiem, but if the governmcnt docs net act now ta minîlmize inflation, it may find ltself powcrless te do se later on. And if anyone doubts the cvii o! inflation let them hark- en ta the CCF housM leader: "In- flation does flot strike the strong particuiarly; It strikes the wcak. Inflation cats away the value3 of the aid age pension and a! the family allowance. . . I arn not going ta say it is the grcate3t ecanamic problem fac- ing the people today, but cer- tainly the prablem which faces the greatest number." Remember the fight last ses- sion over the government's an- ti-dumping legislation? Bath the Liberal and CCF parties bit- teriy oppased the arbitrary power it gave the cabinet t, impose dumping duties. The U. S. government !ired off one of the sharpest protests received by Canada in many a long year. It turns out that a!ter putting teeth in the dumping law the Canadian government can't find anything ta bite on. Montha of intensive investigation have- failed t% turn rip sufficient 1.i deîîce ta warrant use o! the new legisiation. Boy Scout News The Boy Scouts of Lindsay held their annual Christmas tree bonfire during the evening of January 10th. This roarlng fire not only dlsposed o! the discard-ed Christmas trees but provided a spectacle for young and oid. May we congratulate the Scouts on their, service t3 the community and a job well dane. The pile of slightby used trees, which nurnb.rcd approximately 2,000, was 150 feet wide and 30 feet high. Collectively, they seemed ta constitute a hcavy drain on the surrounding for- ests. When we consider that this custom has been popular for ycars it la obviaus that the lo- cal woodlots have produced many thousands o! trees, and th-ere is no end in sight. Prom this we conclude that with god management forests are rcnewable whether il be for Christmas trees, sawlogs or pulpWood. Trappers' Meeting On Friday cvening, January 9th, a fur handling demonstra- tion w-as heid at the Lands and Forests building, Haliburton, sponsored by the Lindsay Dis- tr-ict Treppers' Council in ca- operation with the local Trap- pers' Council. Many interested trappers watch.id as Lloyd Cook o! Bar- rie siîowed proper skinning and stretching methods o! handling a mink, while Harold Bannon worked on a fisher. Con Ducharme of Maple gave a short address on the advan- tages ta the trappers using a uniform pattern for their fur, especially beaver, stressing that well handled fur brings a bet- ter price on the export market and makes Ontario fur stand out among the other Provinces. Mr. Ducharme then gave a demonstration as ta the mclii- od of handling a beaver on the hoop stretch. Trappers A'Dei- On Transport Course. in Germany WMal Others Say MANT PREFER NO WORK (Port Hope Guide) Douglas Nutter, Assistant Di- rector o! the Children's Aid Sa- ciety of the United Counties in giving his report before the an- nual meeting of the societv last Tucsday, ernphasized a curious and alarming trcnd which he termed "a rather odd state of affairs". He went on to say that "some of our clients would much prefer relief assistance and the unemploymTent insur- ance rather than work." This leada us to belleve that unemployment is more preva- lent than It need be simply be- cause too mafly men do not want work, but are content to exist on the bounty provided by a paternal gavcrnmeflt out o! the pockets of those who work for their living with pride and self-sufficiency. Nutter spoke aIseo!o poor housing facilities, lack of suf fi- dlent fuel, food and clothing. Comnblning these basic require- mnents and the above mentionr- ed reprehensible attitude there is little wonder that these homes break up, throwing chil- dren with warped personalities Iand possibly retarded mentali- ties upon the mercy of the or- ganization and society.
