4The Canadian Statesman, Bnwmanville. May 3, 1965 EDITORIAL COMMENT The Bogey of Cancerphobia That therp exists a bogey of can- cérphohîa. causing thousands'of Cana- dians to hive in lear of the disease, to) the detriment of their physical and psychological well-being is known to most of us. And it is not often that a memrber of the medical profession has occasion to speak publiclv regarding this aspect of our national health and welf are. As National Education Chaiirruqn of the Canadian Zanicer Society, Dr. R~. A. Mustard, one of Canada's leading surgeons, recently addressed a large group of volunteers and emphasized the nieed for a rational attitude towards this disease by the general public. "If we can deflate the bogey of can- cerphobia," Dr. Mustard said, "if we can teacb people to face up ta the facts »bout cancer, to think about the disease in fair perspective, then. and onlv then, mnay we Pxpect tbern to cooperate free- ]y anid gladilv in aIl efforts to prevent and contraI the disease." In order to foster such a "r-ational attitude" the true tacts about cancer must be told - good and bad, Dr. Must- ard declared. IHe stressed the importance of cancer prevention both by the elim- ination of carcionegenic agents and by the discovery and treatment of pre- malignant changes. In this regard he emphasized the need for perîodic health examinations, noting that such exam- mnations offer other dividends hesides the early detection of cancer. There is always the possibility of the discoverv of obesitv, heart trouble, hypertention, diabetes, kidney and other diseases. The full storxr of cancer research is flot yet known bv the general public, according to Dr. Mustard. "It must be tolddind retold so that people wili understa..d ýhat progress is indeed bc- ing made. And tne,' aust be informed about the modern treatment of this disease. An appreciation of f'hat is being done today in this area is cf the greatest value to ever.vone in eliminat- ing the cancerphobia bogev." It would seem that the general public might also take an active part in ridding themnselves and each other of the cancerphobia bogeY - with a genuine desire and demand to bc gliven the facts. The local offices of the Cana- dian Cancer Society are as near as the telephone to almost ever 'v citizen in this province. The facts, as expressed b%, this eminent medical practioner, will be given theni upon a cali. Song Tax Tt il; (aSY to see why the Ontario Liquor Licene Board wishes to dis- courage singing in beverage rooms by the 10 per cent hospitai tax. The pur- pose of these roorns is serious drinking and any diversion froni this dedication wotild be costly in taxation. Nearly 100 million gallons of domestically brewed heer is drunk in Ontario annually, at a eost to the consumer of about $180 millions. Out of this, the Provincial and Dominion Government reap a con- siderable sum which would require SOme close CalCLlating ta discover and which is flot relevant to the but-den of this comment. As a mnember- of the Hotel and Motel Association told Br'uce Blunt, or the Ontario Hospital Tax branch, 'Sing- ing in beverage rooms is spontaneous, and if the patrons enjo.v themselves, they generall.v keep sober.' Clearly, singing would reduce revenues and must be discouraged - or' the 10 per cent tax must be paid. On the other band, it is worth considering that the primarY ireason for drinking in quantitvy is mental releast, -- an effect wvhich ma 'v he hrought about bv taxable occupations such as singing, dancing, laughing and other natural enjoyments. -Peterborough Examiner. Parliament resuimed on Monday, April 26th after a 10 day Easter Recess. Coming back to the office Mondav moarning after the break was like get- ting up on New Year's Day wben you hadn't washed the dishes and emptied the ashtrays before going to bed. The accumulation of correspondence, phone messages and interviews takes tume to clear away. If I have been a bit tardy in replying to letters "f rom a few coný- stituents I know they will understand. The House met on Monday after- iloon and in a perfunctory manner went through the motions uintil 8 o'ciock when Finance Minister Walter Gordon presented the budget. The budget bas been analyzed and tdissected by every îîews media from every conceivable angle and I need not repeat these comments here. Mr. Gordon called it a "growth" budget and it seems to me that it was a pretty good attempt at responsible action on the part of the Finance Min- ister. He gave the ta'cpay'er reasonabie tax cuis whicb will help to sustain the high rate of economnic growth now be- ing experienccd in Canada. This action wil I increase consumner pu rchasing power which will in turn require more produiction to meet stimulatcd demand. On Tuesday evening I accompauied the Honourable Maurice Sauve ta Bow- manville wheir he addressed tlîe Cana- dian Club of West Durham. The For- estry Minister is anc of the mosi, able members of the cabinet and ccrtainl v one of the most capable spokesman for Quebec. In addition ta bis duties as Minister of Forestry Mr. Sauve is aiso th ec Minister rcsruansible for ARDA and for the administr'ation ut the govern- ment's fecd grains poliev Mr. Sauve's Bowmanville address has been fuhIl' reported elsewhere. The cru.\ of bis remarks was bis firm beliet that Quebec's future lies xith the rest of Canada in Confederation. As lie stat- ed, "We cannot contemplate a Canada without a Quebec. nor cat ive contem-i plate Quebec Nvithout Canada'." On Wednesdav morning about 1.800 mnembers of the Ontario Farmers' Union arrived ini Ottawa for a meeting wîtb Agriculture Minister Harrv llaysz and other members of the gove-rnment1 responsible for agrýicl]ture. About 40 of the members were trorn Durham. In a very wcll developed brief the delega- tion asked for a comprebensîve farm iprice policy that would enable the 1famuly farm to survive. The visit of the farmers was well arranged and I think il bad the desired effeet of bringing the increasinglv dif- ticuit economic pliglit of the Ontario fanmer to the attention of the govemn- ment and to the public generally. The Farm Union meeting lasted about two and one-half hours and after the meeting I had a chance for a good discussion with about 15 Durham mem- bers, but unfortunately did not meet ail wbo were in Ottawa tramn the Rid- ing because mv schedule t'equiu'ed me to leave Ottawa at -:30 that afternoon for Saskatoon ta attend an ARDA meeting with the Miîîister, Mr. Sauve. Tbree and one-haif bours after leaving Ottawa by jetstar we arrived in Saskatoon. The meeting was cam- posed of ARDA officiaIs from the four western provinces wbo met with the Minister to discuss details of the opera- tion ut the ARDA programn in WVester'n Canada. Returning ta Ottawa after the meeting we had a feu, hours sleep betore returning to the office for Thurs- day's duties. On Tbursda 'v bhe budget debate continned, and on Thursdav evening the members of the agriculture, group of the goveî'nment caucus met with officers ut the Ontario Faî'm Union who remaiîîed in Ottawa for' furiber discussion. The meeting xvas iîterrupt- ed for a vote of confidence in which the gaverument was sustained wîth the heîp of the Thompson Social Credit Party', against the combined opposition of the Conservative. N.DP. and Cî'edi- tiste Parties. On Fî'ida *v' as tliis Report is wviit- ten. the budget debate is' coul itniig. Thei'e wilI be at least w more votes of confidence betoî'e the budget debate terminates on Weduesdav. A busy week? . . . well I suppose so. but then, in tbis job m-ost \veeks are bus '. That is w'hv bbe job iS SnIcb an înteresting one. and at times, at least, a productive one. Wbt %a:nabian blt4tm41 Authoitd ae Seconde JOHN M.

SUBSCRIPTON RATES strictly in advance $5.50 a Year in the United States Golf, according to Doug Carter, is "cow~-pasture billiards-" Not knowing anything about this royal and ancient gamne, 1 quickly accepted Bill Doran's invitation to spend Aprii 3Oth, as his gUest, at thie swank York Downs Golf Club, situated in North York, in the hope that 1 might find an answer to questions that have accrued since watching my first game on TV. After lunch, in the club house which w~as once a barn, and still re- tains foot square timbers. showing the broad-axe marks, besides the corner braces, girts, etc., Bill turned me over to Norman MacDonald, the "Course Sup't". for a couple of hours' expert guidance in things pertaining to golf. "Mac" is about mv- age. with a life- lime of looking aftcr golf courses be- hind him. He xvas obligingiy gracious in showing me things that might in- terest me, and answering more foolish questions than one person has a right Io ask; F'rinstance, 1 asked hini how much the divots cost, when he looked puzzled, 1 pointed to the little gadgets that hold the hall while the goifer swats il. Scems a divot is the hole made in the ground which a careless golfer SCOOPS OuIt trying to hît the bail. \Vhen Mac mentioned "tee," I thought lie meant the stuff you drink, but a tee is a raised chunk of ground that, helps the "golufer" get more eleva- lion on his halls, lie spoke of a slice - that's nothing to do with bread, but whrn a hall is not bit properly (1 think). Ile pointed to a "trap." Natural- l\v, 1 swivellcd mv ey'es out of their sockets looking for a ground hog trap, but Mac mrant a pocket of sand near the "re' put there to make the pamne tougher for- the player because if the hal]l andis in a trap, points or strokes will he lost trying to get the thing out. Thr otil 'v par 1 kow is ,Jack Paar, but Mac patiently expiained that par tant means getting the bail from here ta there in a required nurnber of stroke.c A "water hazard" to me is when eomr one suggests 1 have a bath duril, month containing an "R", M~t in r~ it means a body of water'Wch îs pond, or "crick" in which' the ba.ý could land, and the player be penali?., ed -some strokes. Mac talked of thýý 66green". It ail looked green to me, bts that's the spot where the "hole",~ the rest of the grassy area is a "fair- way." Incidentally. in the hole is a "cup" which is really an open type of iron gadget about three and a haif inches wide, and six inches deep, and you haven't completed a "green" untit you've forced that little white bail ta duck in there to escape a beating from the long handled "cosh" in your sinewy ma ulers. A bunker isn't a person snoozing in a bunk, but a sand filled big hole on top of the ground dt-signed ta make a player lose strokes if his bail lands ini it. "Creeping Bent" doesn't mean sonie- one bent over, and creeping along the ground, but a ty-pe of tough grass that leans forward uintil it touches the ground, when it will moi. grow, and repeat the process. When a fgolfer "ad- dresses" a baIl, he doesn't say a word, but stares at it while maki'ng some threatening gestures with his wicked looking club before finaily whaling the bejabers out of il. And when a goifer is going through these contortions, if a couple of flying mosquitoes happened to bump, he'd biow his top. I thought such people wvere put in thie iron cage, ai the bottom of an incline, to cool off, but this 5' x 7' x V' gadget is, calied an escalator; is run by electricity: tra save wearY golfers clirnbing the steep bank while using "shank's mares."
