ONE OF THE most terrifying articles we
have read recently (and in the modern world of
nuclear power there are many terrifying articles
'being written) is one in Saturday night, "The
Great Deceptien on Fall-Out".
We've all become accustomed to jokes about
fall-out, None of us have been able to appraise
the danger to the human race which nuclear
bomb testing and the resultant fall-out means,
Strontium 90 is one of the most malignant
fall-out particles. It is capable of causing leuk-
aemia, and' may also cause cancer of the bone.
Another dangerous particle is cesium 137,
which strikes at the reproductive organs. This
can result in malformation and hideous dis-
figurement in a baby before birth.
The radioactive carbon 14, from the 30
megatons of bomb tests conducted to date will
cause 230,000 seriously defective children to be
born, plus an additional 420,000 stillbirths. That
is the estimate of the best informed scientists
of the United States.
Also, it is known that a high percentage of
Strontium 90 is concentrated in the areas be-
tween 35 and 50 degrees north and south of
the equator. This means danger to the great
WE WERE reasonably impressed recently
during a motor trip which extended into the
metropolitan area of Ontario to note what ap-
peared to be a saner approach to driving on the
highways there than right around home.
As soon as we reached Stratford and went
further along Highway 8, we noted that the
traffic was travelling at 50 miles per hour, and
no faster. One motorist and one only, went past
us 'at an estimated 56, but then reverted to the
ALL OTHER things being satisfactory, a
rather illusory thing called "climate for capital"
is what industries search for when looking for
a municipality in which to settle.
This "climate for capital" in general terms,
means a place which is a good place to work and
play.
In planning their move into a new town,
an industry is apt to send out representatives
posing as tourists, or travelling salesmen, Who
inquire around, sounding out the residents and
business people about how they the people who
live there, actually feel about the place. They
are looking for a town where they will be wel-
comed, and where they and their employees can
make their home happily.
What goes into this "climate for capital"
can be investigated in the following factors
which went' into selling Stratford as a site for
an industry involving $900,000:
9. Pleasant living facilities with good schools
and good local and adjacent recreational
areas;
10. Adequate law enforcement;
11. Churches and a church-going populace;
12. Stable labour supply;
13. Labour supply capable of being trained
in the skilled trades;
14. Non-discriminatory tax structure;
majority of people living in Canada.
These facts are known from data analyzed
periodically. They are facts based on the nuclear ,
bombs exploded to date, The tests are continu-
ing, This means that the danger will continue
to increase.
We would suggest that it is time the people
—that means you, your neighbour and your
friends--become aware and conscious of the dan-
ger to you and your descendants.
The dangers of fall-out have not been em-
phasized by those who know the facts. We pre-
sume this is because those who know prefer to go
ahead blindly, in the quest for world supremacy
in an arms race.
You, the people, are the only ones who can
put a stop to this disregard for the lives and
welfare of your families.
The scientists do not know the amount of
radioactivity which a person can accept without
danger to himself or his children. Surely if
they do not know, then the wise thing would be
to stop now while there is a human race, and
wait until the damage already done can be asses-
sed.
normal speed, and continued ahead of us at the
same speed as we were travelling for 20 miles
or more,
Yet on the return trip, as soon as we came
this side of the Shakespearean city, speeds
again rose. Motorists barged around at 60 miles
per hour and over.
Could it be that police enforcement is
stricter in the metropolitan area? Are our local
traffic men letting us away with too much?
15. Local government support and interest
in new business;
16. Sympathetic public awareness of business
problems;
17. Civic pride in the community;
18. Enterprising press and radio;
19. Cooperative attitude on the part of busi-
nessmen in the area;
20. Last—and perhaps most intangible—an
aura 'of quiet confidence in the future.
These are some of the factors published in
the latest issue of Saturday Night. The first
eight on the list were those which could quite
easily be found in a number of towns:
1, Nearness to markets;
2. Proximity to population centres;
3. Competitive wage structure;
4. Good truck and rail transportation facili-
ties;
5. Access to and availability to raw mater-
ials;
6. Availability of land upon which to build
and to expand;
7. Good public utilities to the site area;
8. Presence of adequate services to comple-
ment their new plant.
These eight Clinton has. Whether or not
we have the last 12 factors, is' open to conjecture.
STRONGER ENFORCEMENT?
CLIMATE FOR CAPITAL
Just this minute I looked at the
calendar, and realized that I have
another birthday coming up next
week, I'm never sure how old I
am. I always have to remember
the year in which I was born, and
subtract it from the present year.
For the past three or four years,
I haven't had a clue whether I was
37, 38 or 39, 'vaitheat doing arit
metic,
And when you have grown old,
and every second in infinitely prec-
ious, suddenly there is no, time for
anything except to prepare for
death, Perhaps it is as well that
we grow weary and full of aches.
and miseries when we get old.
Otherwise, how could we bear to
part with life, just when we have
realized at last what a privilege
it has been to be born and to have
lived in this fascinating world! $
When we become so absorbed in
ourselves, so concerned with what
happened yesterday, so worried
about what will happen tomorrow,
that we let time slip past unnot-
iced, we profane the gift of life,
We are like blind Men standing on
the bank of a deep, swift, beau*
ful stream, arguing about the col-
our of the water.
4, 4, 4,
That's why, as another birthday
approaches, I pledge myself again
to try to slow life down, Maybe
it's too late to plunge into the
stream anew and savour its my-
riad wondertnents, But at least I'm
going to sit on the bank and dang-
le my toes in it, rather than try
to build a bridge so I can get to
the other side as quickly as po
leg gets me out of. * 4,
No, it isn't the physical disinte-
gration that gets me down. What
disturbs me is the automatic ac-
celeration of time with the ad-
vancing years. The older you get,
the faster it flies. Which is both
unreasonable and unfair.
.;*
When you are five years old, life
progresses at a barely discernible
pace. It is made up of endless en-
vestigations of mud, breakables,
dogs and similar interesting things,
broken only by leisurely, messy
meals and long, dreamless sleeps.
A regular picnic. * s
When you are ten, life is still in
no rush. A month away, or even
next Saturday, seems like a long
time. Summer holidays stretch
lazily, interminably ahead. You
can't conceive of becoming a mid-
dleaged man of thirty, it seems so
far off.
At fifteen, especially if you're
suffering from a small case of un-
requited love, some pimples on the
day of the dance, or some such
catastrophe, a few hours can be as'
endless as eternity. Even at twen-
ty, time is limitless, something to
be spent, not treasured. 4' 4' *
In 'other werds, during the for-
mative years-, when your appreciat-
ion of life is about as deep as that
of a puppy, time dawdles, loiters,
tarries, pokes and inches along.
You waste great gobs of it playing,
pretending, dreaming, mooning or
just rushing about.
*
Then, when you begin to mature
enough to enjoy life to the full,
time begins to dangle along at an
alarming clip. By the time you
have acquired the wisdom and per-
ception to savour every moment
of life, every scent and sight and
sound, your senses of smell, sight
and hearing are dulled, and time
is careening past you like a fire
truck.
The figuring completed, it came
as no shock to me that I'll be' 39 on
June 2nd, and I accepted the fact
that I'm well past the midway
mark with a reasonable lack of
panic. After all, I've still got
some hair, half a dozen of my own
teeth, and one or two of my fac-
ulties.
4, * *
Not that the relentless years
haven't taken their toll. Thanks
to an oft-broken nose, I have no
sense of smell whatever. But this
is not entirely a disadvantage.
True, I can't smell perfume on
dames, but this is safer. I can't
smell food cooking, but it keeps
me from gorging and growing
obese, On the silver lining side,
I can't smell onions, skunks, man-
ure piles or whisky breaths.
* 4' 1,
And I have a lot of little aches
and pains. I don't leap out of bed
any more, carolling "here bath
been dawning another new day.
think wilt thou let it slip useless
away?" I kind of edge out, groan-
ing and grunting, swinging my bad
leg to the floor with both hands.
But it's amazing how much danc-
ing, weeding and praying that bad
