The Canad.lan Statesman, Bownirlle, Jan. 15, 1984 EDITORIAL COMMENT Congratulations to Lindsay A recent Issue of the house organ, published by the Dominion Rubber Company of Montreal and Kitchener, has just corne ta hand, announcing that they will be constructing a new $5 mil- lion cord plant in neighboring Lindsay this year. The article pointed out that 29 lo- cations within a radius of 200 miles of Kitchener had been considered before they decided on Lindsay. 0f interest will be the reasons giv- en for the choice: geographical suitabi- lity, land cost, available services such as power, sewage and water, taxes, labor j avaiiability, and rail and road services. The officiais cxpressed themselves as particularly impressed with Lind- say's clear and detailed town planning, and the enthusiastic heip and co-opera- tion rcceived during the enquiry per- lod. Many local officiais, headed by Lindsay's Industrial Planning Commis- sioner, and inciuding the town cierk and treasurer, the town engineer, as- sessment commissioner and hydroelec- ttric commissioner who provided heip- fui information. While such a plant would certain- ly have been a wonderful addition to Bowmanville's industrial community, as it will be to Lindsay's, it is most doubt- The Social We hope most Canadians will ob- ject to a national numbering system so that we may ail be processed and put through a caicuiating machine. The announcement during the weekend from Ottawa that each Can- adian is ta receive bis special number and identification card for purpose of unemployment Insurance and eventu- aily, the Canada Pension plan was greeted with sornething less than en- thusiasm in this corner, says the Nap- anee Post-Express. The national registration plan dur- ing the war may have had some admin- istrative advantages, but it was a re- lief when it disappeared. Assuredly, national registration heiped the government ta cail up mem for the army. But the registration cards were used for other purposes as wei] which had littie ta do with the safety of the nation. National registration cards were used by zealous municipal counicils ta enforce curfew laws, by Liquor Contrai fui if this town was considered In the overaîl planning. A rubber company would flot iikeiy set up a new plant in a town where its opposition is already established as the main industry, al- though certainly we have ail the at- tributes, such as good location, servic- ed land, etc., that any new plant could desire. We believe also that we have good town planning and there would be no lack of eagerness on the part of off i- ciais at ail levels to give every assist- ance ta any new ind'ustry investigating the possibilities of coming here. Knowing this tawn as we do and as many others do, it is difficuit te, know if there are any basic reasons why there has mot been more industrial expansion here. We have so much te, offer that one wouid think new indus- try would be galioping in here by the score. What are we lacking? We have almost every facility that anyone could ask for, a fine hospital, excellent schools, supermarkets, not toa much spare housing but that cuuld be reme- died, rail and road facilîties, etc. It's odd that we have yet ta hit the industriai jackpot that wouid real- ly put Bowmanviile on the map. Number Boards ta ensure that purchasers wvere of the required age. They cauld well be demanded for exercising one's franchise. Ail details about people can be kept on a punched card destroy- ing any and ail rights of privacy. While that code may flot at the start contain detaiied information about individuals, it takes littie imagination to guess the amount, of detail which may eventuaily accumulate on such a population card indexing process as censuses corne and go and criminal and other records build up. Think of the people who will seek status by possession of low numbers laying dlaim toalal the hokum about "f irst" families. Wiil parents with numbers like 123-456-789 aiiow their offspring ta marry newcomers with numbers like 987-654-321? Had we enough time, we might turn out the right digits for the product of such a union. On the other hand, the resuit might be a simple addition. No Cals in the Bible For some reason or other, our mind roved on Sunday ta the subjeets of animais in the Bible. There are plenty of them, of course, and anybody can remember some of themý. At Christmas time, animais appear in the Nativity scenes, sbeep and donkeys and the cam- els of the three wise men coming te mimd at once. Jesus was evidentiy quite familiar with work on the farm and many of bis parabies are drawn from the agriculture of his time. David was a shepherd and there are plenty of animais in the Psalms and Oid Tes- tament writings. Then it seemed ta us that there was one popular animai of today that we neyer remember being mentioned in the Bible, Oid or New Testament. We couid mot remember a single cat. A search of aur concordances faiied ta turn up a cat anywhere. There were animais, large and small, ail the way from caterpillars ta dromedaries, but no sign of a cat. That arouses a question, which we cannot salve and can oniy guess the answer. Perhaps some learned prafes- sor of antiquity and of the Bible can provide an answer. The dog was probably the first wiid animal domesticated by men. Some far-off cave man tamed a woif and made a useful dog and a campan- ion out of the wolf. We suppose the Oid Testament shepherds used woives ta heip them tend the sheep. Other animais were domesticated to provide milk or as beasts of burden, but where is the Cat? We know the Jewish people tended swine for the Romans but would flot eat themn because the law of Moses said they were unclean and flot to be eaten. This may give a dlue ta the an- swer of the rîddle about the iack of cats in the Bible. There were cats in Egypt in early times. There were times they were re- garded as gods in the religion of Egypt. Cats appear in Egyptian tombs. They were emba]med when they died. That probably expiains why the Israelites did mot have any cats. They had lived in Egypt and must have seen pienty of cats but when they cscaped ta Canaan, thev must have ieft ail cats bchind them. They must have been out- lawed because they were a part of a heathen religion. Cats no doubt made themselves popular and purred for the Egyptian househoiders, but they were out]awed from the bouses of Israel. That, we suspect, is wby there are no cats in the Bible, but we would like some Jewisb seholar ta comment on the question and tell us the amswer. It might be interesting. Fergus News-Record. A Difference In Meaning By the generai public the term "medicai services" is taken ta mean a wide range of health care services. To iaw-makers - or', perhaps, ta their ad- visers .- the phrase seems ta mean soiely and specifically services provid- cd by' a doctor of medicine. The im- portance ta the public of this differ- ence in meaning is being emphasized in current hearings before the 14-member legisiative committee appointed ta studv the draft of the Ontario govern- ment s proposed Medical Services In- surance Act. The dental profession has pointed out to the committee that many dental care services, particularly in the f ield of dental surgery, may be performed by either dentists or doctors -- but the Act provides payment only for medical care. Similarly, manv vision care ser- vices may be performed by either op- tometrists or ophthalmologists - but the Act provides payment only for ser- vices performed by the latter. The health care services the pub- lie would be paying for through their insurance premiums should be equally available f rom doctors and other quali- fied professionals.
