The Seaforth News, 1959-08-13, Page 7Ottawa Payrof Keeps Growing In the submission of the Ere- eutive Council to the Senate Finance Committee with respect to the Threat of Inflation refer- ence was made to the fact that the Federal Government had 195,390 on the public payroll in 1958, a jump of 10,000 over 1957, In the the years since 1948 the number of people on the Ottawa payroll increased by 62,000 or neatly 53%. In the twenty years lance 1938 the increase has been 136,000 or 309%, This compares with our population growth eine 1938 of 55%. During the last twenty years, in peace and war, good times and had, Ottawa has added to the public payroll an average of 6,800 every year. Mr. Fox, the President of the St. Lawrence Corporation Limit- ed, put these figures together for this address to the Annual Meet- ing of Shareholders last. Spring. It is worth mentioning that all these figures are for ordinary government . departments only, °they do not include armed sery-, •ices, government agencies or Crown corporations such as C.B.C. In 1958 C.B.C. alone had 4,3000 employees and took $41 million out of taxes for its capi- tal costs and operating deficit, The July 4th issue of. Maclean's Magazine comments that the three levels of government in Canada today employed 618,000 men and women — more than three times the size of the la- bour force in the entire iron and steel products idustry, the coun- try's largest manufacturing group. This represents more than 10% of the total labor force in Canada. The cost of this machin- ery, according to the article in question, is $200 million a month. The fact that our Civil Service is growing at such an astonishing rate is a matter for very serious consideration. Every added cent of bureaucratic cost adds that !ouch to the cost of production. We in Canada, because of our considerable dependence on fore- ign trade, must be ' particularly cost conscious. Canadian growth depends upon our ability to de- velop larger domestic and fore- ign markets. — From The Cana- dian Chamber of Commerce, News Letter. Guns Can Be Fun —Also Deadly! Vacationist& can have a lot of fun and improve their shotgun marksmanship, too, with a hand - trap, a carton of "clay" targets, * couple of boxes of shells and the favourite shotgun. With this outfit every type of game can be simulated. Here again, as always in shooting, be sure of your back- ground. There may be a picnick- ing party on the other side f the hill. No matter what type of shoot-. Ing iron you take along on your vacation this year, bear in mind these firearm safety regulations. they are simple easy -to -follow and right to the point. Treat every gun with the res- pect due a loaded gun. Carry only unloaded guns into our automobile, boat, camp or kerne. • Always carry your gun so that !fou can control the direction of Ike muzzle, even if you stumble, Be sure of your target before gnu pull the trigger. Never point a gun at anything gnu do not want too shoot. Never leave your gun un- attended unless you unload it first. Never climb a tree or fence With a loaded gun, Never shoot at a flat, hard sur- face or the surface of water. Now is the time When bus windows that wouldn't close all ,sinter can't be opened. "CAN'T HEAR A WORD, UMP" — An itchy ear concerns little Jimmy Malzone, 3, more than pre -game instructions being giv- en by home plate umpire John Stevens. Daddy is Boston 'Red Sox' third baseman, Frank Malzone, Swollen Head Is A Serious Malady ' Was this the top-rated ama- teur tennis player in the world? Playing a listless game from the baseline and continually double faulting, Wimbleton champion Alex Olinedo went down to a straight -set defeat at the hands of lesser -ranking Abe Segal of South Africa in the national clay -court tennis tournament In Chicago. As the Davis Cup champion stalked from t h e court, the fans booed and tour- nament officials banned h 1 m from participating in the up- coming doubles matches "in the interest of better tennis." Olme- do said later that he had been "mentally tired" but admitted: "I did not play as hard as 1 could. Next week I will apolo- gize to Segal personally and in public." But, he added angrily: "It is human to make mistakes but the officials had no right to boo. The officials themselves were running by the court boo- ing. That made me more mad," Dangerous Job For Amateurs Much ofthe early progress in rocketry came from inspired amateurs who sometimes blew themselves up — along with an occasional bystander — in the interests of science. But now the professional descendants ' of the pioneers think the day of the amateur • is over, are appal- led at the risky stunts of rocket' buffs from 16 to 60. So serious is the situation that the Ameri- can Rocket Society has issued a 76 -page booklet cataloguing the dangers and advising the amateur to stop. Said A.R.S.: "All practical means • must be taken to prevent the manufac- ture ofpropellants or rockets by amateurs." Rockets get their zip by means of a restrained explo- sion; the rapidly burning pro- pellant must generate hot gases at precisely the right pressure. If the pressure is too low, the rocket does not fly; too high, and it bursts like a bomb. Very slight defects or miscalculations canraise the pressure to the danger point. The Pocket can explode if the nozzle is a few thousandths of an inch too small. A solid . propellant may prack, sharply increasing the YOU'RE RIGHT — Your paper isn't upside down, Capt. Leroy G.

Unburned propel- lant can block the nozzle, or flame can burn a hole .in the thin casing. As any Cape Cana- veral man knows, not ,even the Pros can anticipate all possible ways for the rocket's restrain- ed explosion to . become . unre- strained. Their motto: "Always assume that . a rocket will ex- plode." Mixing propellants from drug- store or agricultural chemicals is just as. perilous. A.R.S. en- trusts its members with a long list of dangerous combinations, . urges that the list be kept se- cret so that youthful amateurs will not get any new ideas. Particularly touchy are propel- lants that must be mixed hot. Another bad actor, already well known to most acids: ordinary household match heads, which are apt to explode disastrously while being crammed into a makeshift rocket chamber. At firat,,A.R.S. hoped to make ,hobby rocketry safe by expert supervision; asked scientists and .military men to help the ama- teurs. But now it thinks rockets are best left alone 'altogether. The game has grown too big and too dangerous. All t o 1 d, says A.R.S., some 10,000 ama- teurs are fiddling around with rockets today. During a sam- ple six - week period, 162 of them were seriously injured. At that rate; a teen-age rocket- eer has one chance in seven of getting hurt each year. A New Dome for The Holy Rock Under the hot shimmer of July in Jerusalem, a giant crane swung endlessly back and forth lifting new girders above an old shrine. The Dome •of the Rock, at Jerusalem's eastern edge, was to have a new covering. Yet as riggers scrambled over the site, assembling the scaffolding and preparing huge aluminum beams for erection, a controversy raged over the project, with loud cries that one of the world's holiest spots. was being' defiled instead of restored. This was the place where Abra- ham offered up his son Isaac as sacrifice, and' was restrained by an angel of the Lord. Solomon . is said to have used the rock as the foundation of his temple. Herod built there the temple from which Jesus drove the money - changers. Mohammed rested by the rock after his,night flight from Mecca. Sacred to Jews, Christians and Moslems alike, the rock has rare- ly lacked a noble covering. The present dome dates back to the great .ediface erected by Abdul - Malek Ibn Marwan, Caliph of Damascus, in 691, who used up seven years' tax revenue from Egypt to realize his dream. In 1099, crusaders mounted a gold cross on the dome' and turned it into a church, Later,' Saladin won it back for Islam, lovingly coated the interior arches with mosaic, the walls with marble. Suleiman the Magnificent ordered the ex- terior walls covered with splen- did blue tiles. Time, earthquakes, and most recently, mortar shells, lobbed into the sanctuary during the •Jerusalem fighting in 1948, all but ruined the ancient structure. Mosaics were smashed; the 11th century outer dome of wood and .lead bulged, showing signs of col- lapse. As soon as peace return- ed to the Holy Land, the King of Jordan organized an emer- gency committee to restore the mosque. Main problem facing the re- storers Was to 'find a substitute for the outer dome (the ornately decorated' Inner dome will re• main in place): Their anal an- iw ei v ns rn :'trrh to make a' sill-' :ch, but a light -weight; do OM CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING AGENTS WANTED EARN Cash in your Spare Time.
