. v , nual meeting in. Toronto. i ) CANADIAN WEEKLY NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION MEMBER OF ~ing is long and arduous. THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE Notes and Comments M.D.'s in Saskatchewan Saskatchewan has made headlines this week with its Doctors' rebellion. The question of state medicine poses many problems. The doctors should certainly have been allowed an adequate hearing for their views. They must have valuable contributions to offer in the way of prac- tical advice about any such plan. When it comes to the doctors refusal to serve the law that is another matter. Perhaps this medical plan is premature as Pearson said. Perhaps it is a very well thought out plan and worth a try. In any event it is a matter that concerns us all wherever we are in Canada because we all feel essentially that every man who is genuinely ill has the right to the best knowledge and skill available if it will save his life. g Our doctors in the past have been for the most part very understanding about - medical bills. During the depression es- pecially they gave patients a long time to pey what they owed in fees. However a doctor must live too and a great many of them have large families. Their train- Doctors are still among the highest paid of all the professional people. Many of The Common Market and The It is strange to see that the greatest hue and cry against Britain going into the common market because it will hurt the Commonwealth comes from the left- wingers. The Commonwealth association "has been the staff of our Conservative government policy here in Canada. Dief- enbaker spoke loudly in favour of closer trade ties with the Motherland when he first came to power. The fact that his policies were not received with great gra- titude in England did not stop the moti- zation being genuinely conservative here. The left-wing anti-common market pro- Commonwealth attitude in Britain springs from the international group who would see Britain united with the neutrals. It them are wealthy. Many of them are not. All of them give endlessly of their time and energy either in general practice or in research. They have been on the whole a dedicated group. The doctors themselves are upset by the fact that under a state medical plan they will have to streamline cases and process people through a line-up in the clinics. A doctor r'ghtly values his time with his patient in order to give the best possible diagnosis and treatment. He cannot take this time if his doorstep is overflowing with people who have come to him for ¢very conceivable minor ailment because ° they no longer have to think about the money involved. Doctors are people. Patients are peo- ple. How can we arrange the best possi- ble working relationship between the two? "Obviously it will take a great deal of de- tailed planning. We will make many mis- takes during our trials. We are pioneer- ing in this field. Surely the doctor must remember the sacred oath of Hippocrates. 1f-he does how ¢éan he refuse to serve under the law except in the case of emergency? What is an emergency ? Commonwealth the Commonwealth if we take the African states especially into consideration. How Russia would like to see us play- 'ng along with the neutrals! It would make her feel a good deal easier. So the _enti-common market pro-Commonwealth - cry has been taken up by the extreme left wing. i Canada is the exception. --_--X-- Money, money, money. Canada's dollar devaluation is creating a real election scan- dal with Deifenbaker declaring to New- fecundland children that it is a great good thing and 'the liberals being equally sure it is not.

NEXT YEAR. | Pickering Township Council agreed that in 1963, tax payments will be made in 6 installments. : The motion was made by the Ward 3 Councillor, John Greening, and sec- onded by Councillor Ross Deakin.

The cost of the survey will be ab- sorbed by the Provincial Department. Reeve Sherman Scott suggested that there was probably little need for "such a project in Pickering since a large portion of the municipality was still rural ip nature. Mr. Suters agreed that this was probably trie but wished only: to acquaint the Coun- cil members with the proposal. He 'pointed out that the low-rental homes would benefit only those persons who were already classed as permanent residents within the municipality. "We don't bring new ones in," he said when questioned by Councillor Hubert Wank concerning a possible school problem that might develop. SPECIFIC SUNDAY SPORTS 5 OUTLINED FOR PICKERING An outline of specific Sunday sports Twp. of Pickering in conjunction with an affirmative vote on the issue in December, was discussed at a special meeting of Council on Monday night. Two readings were given to a by-law to include the following athletic pro- motions: indoor bowling, lawn bowl- ing, tennis, badminton, golf, baseball, softball, - football, hockey and water sports. ' None of the above-mentioned games shall begin until 1.80 p.m. on Sunday and shall be conducted in an orderly manner. A third reading will not be finalized until the statutory meeting in June. * The sport of skeet-shooting was also included in Sunday recreation but was later withdrawn on a protest from Dep:Reeve, Mrs. Jean McPher- son. "We have enough shooting and carrying on without it," she said. Clerk L. T. Johnston stated that the need for such a by-law to name spe- cific Sunday sports had arisen when RASH OF GRASS FIRES viction was registered on Friday at an inquiry was received concerning the legality of Sunday dancing.

There were many new faces at our Bible Study Group at Manchester on Monday evening. This could be a thoughts on the things that really matter, by sharing your experience with others. We have ordered copies of "Christians -Awake!" by W. J. Schnell and should have them this week. We also have on hand copies of "Life and Death" which is proving to be very stimulating and interest- ing. There is always room for all who are interested, and who can give up an hour or two to contemplate the things that really count. We have had various explanations and theories about death. Some teach that death is the end. What do Christians be- lieve? We shall give some thought to this vexing problem "What is the meaning of death?" at our next study period. The Island Group will meet at 8.30 p.m. Friday of this week, as the Choir will be meeting at 7.30 p.m. Flease try to be on time for the choir, co that we get away no later than ten. of the Kingdom.

Snell, We had some cancellations this week, namely the Afternoon Tea and | Bake Sale and Antique Display at the home of the Maurice Fralicks; and! also the Prospect U.C.W.

We shall welcome | hearing from any who love the Lord Jesus, Please get in touch with the Minister as soon as possible. : Once again there is a cloud over | the Island, as death has visited us; again in the drowning of Bill Healey. Somehow we are not too surprised and shocked at the passing on of the aged. But when one is in the prime of life, and with all the things that' make life liveable; it does come as a' jolt to us that death should claim 'these; How important it becomes us" all to take the necessary precautions. If only Bill could have learned to! swim, the story might have been dif- ferent! The whole Island mourns with you Marie and your three little girls; and God in Christ weeps with -} you. He who has Bill in His keep- | ing, will also have you all in His ten- der care too; and with faith and hope, He will bring you through. This will be another very difficult funeral for one and all. Next week will be filled again with activities. How fortunate we are to] have so many things of interest to attend to Everyday brings its own quota. Please underline Wednesday, when Prospect Ladies will have their yearly Bazaar in the afternoon, and Scugog "Grace" their U.C.W. meet- ing at Florence Fralick's in the even- ing.
