'The Oshavon Times "Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Page 4 Tuesday, February 24, 1959 Children's Explorations Of Wonders Of Nature Exploration of the wonderful world of the outdoors is always an exciting adventure, be it through observation of insects on the front lawn and backyard garden or study of the habits of animals and fish in great forests and rushing rivers. It is more than adventure, how- ever, Knowledge of the ways of nature {s necessary if man | to come to terms with his environment. Knowledge of nature is the key to the problem of con- servation of natural resources, and con- servation is one of the necessities of "modern life. For that reason, we are happy to give our support to the Young Naturalists Club, newly organized by the Federa- 'tion of Ontario Naturalists, Its purpose 4s to awaken the interest of children 4n the conservation of woods, wildlife and soil. The undertaking is by far the most ambitious in work with children since 'the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests discontinued its lecture service te Ontario schools, That government service taught thousands of children the value of conservation, and the pre- vention of destruction of such resources as forests, water, soil and wildlife. We understand that membership in the Young N: uralists Club is already in the hundreds. The rush of members is the proof of the need of such an or- ganization -- and also proof of the hunger of children for information on the great heritage of forest and stream that becomes their legacy as they as- sume the responsibility of adult citizen- ship. The Young Naturalists will have their own newspaper and their membership entitles them to a raccoon badge, liter- ature on topics of nature study and conservation, directions on building feeding stations and bird houses, and information about events in Ontario's nature calendar. Future plans call for the production of special books and pamphlets designed to interest young people in the wonderful world of the, outdoors. Parents and teachers can enroll youngsters by contacting David Web- ster at 187 Highbourne road in Toronto We hope Mr. Webster will be kent busy with the rush of new memberships, 'On Lincoln Anniversary This year is the 150th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. His is Jone of the great names in the history of government of free nations, and a mark of his greatness is the attention the anniversary has received outside the United States. Within the U.S., men have been turning again to his words to reassure themselves in a time of fear and doubt. As the St. Louis Post Dis- Patch observes, "the preserve of the nion remains the great example in io and deed of leadership in govern- "ment of and for and by the people." e Post Dispatch continues: # To those who resort to violence to gain their ends he speaks, this funda- 'mental truth: = "There is no grievance that is the fit object of redress by mob law." % To those who think they have a right do order the lives of others, he says: = "As I would not 'be a slave, so T would be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy." % To those who are faint-hearted in the Protection of human rights, he says: » "The cause of civil liberty must not $e surrendered at the end of one or gven one hundred defeats." = To those who cling to outworn notions, the political leader who quit an out- moded political party and helped form a new one holds up this standard of conduct "I shall try to correct errors where shown to be errors, and I shall adopt new views as fast as they shall appear to be true views." To office holders in positions of trust established by the people, he gives the fairest of counsel: "It is as much the duty of the govern- ment to render prompt justice against itself, in favor of citizens, as it is to administer the same between private individuals." To all who are concerned about na- tional. security in an uncertain world, he speaks clearly and calmly: "Our reliance is in the love of liberty which God ha: planted in us. Our de- fense is in the spirit which prized free- dom as the heritage of all men, in all lands everywhere." These are words of Lincoln that come down to us now, after all the rushing, crowded years, words that ring like the axe blows of the young railsplitter in the prairie timber, words for him to act on in the black days of disunison, guide- lines for us to apply today--in his mem- ory and for our own sakes, Travel In Deep Freeze Comic strips come in for a good deal ot abuse from time to time, and doubt- Jess some of them deserve it. There are wothers, however, that are produced by "men with lively, perceptive minds, who 'are able to clothe imaginative and searching ideas in the motley garb of entertainment. "Al Capp's Li'l Abner, for example, is often a vehicle for social satire. Now it appears that it is something more. 'Comic strip buffs will recall the Li'l Abner sequences featuring the irascible General Bullmoose and his deep-freeze closet, Bullmoose believes that he can extend his life and vigor by spending -gome of his time in a deep freeze, in a 'state of suspended animation. We doubt "if Al Capp had anything but satire in "fnind when he produced General Bull- fmoose and his deep freeze, but now "§cientists are giving the idea serious "attention. + At the University of California, scien- ~tists are about to undertake experiments "to determine whether man can be frozen "solid for years-long trips to other solar "systems. The thecry is that man would +80 into a frozen sleep, the ship would be operated by electric brains, and he would be revived by an automatic "Phe Oshawa Times "TL.

That comes about as close to the Bullmoose theory, as set out by Al Capp, as anything we have yet heard. What purpose this would serve is another question. We would hazard a guess that it may prove valuable, if the world's population continues to ex- pand. A recent estimate is that if the population continues to expand at its present rate, next century will see the total soar to around 7,000,000,000, com- pared with the present estimate of 2,- 800,000,000. If this should come to pase, it is most likely that many venturesome spirits will want to get away from the conges- tion of the Earth. There may yet be a demand for a deep-freeze flight hrough space to some other planet in another solar system. Other Editor's Views CURIOSITY CAN KILL Windsor Star) People are just naturally curious, Wher. there is an unusual or tragic occurrence, they flock to the spot in hundreds. Despite warnings by those in authority to stand back or to move on, these people insist on shoving and push- ing themselves as close to the scene as possible. That is what happened in Monroe I4., where five persons were killed and more than 100 spectators and workers injured when a derailed tank car of li- quid butane exploded Firemen had warned these people to stay back but, as is the case in all such happenings, they just won't listen..It's too high a price to pay just to be cur= fous.

Correspondent For The Times LONDON The problem of frdustry spreading out into rich farming areas outside the large cities, and taking over extensive areas of agricultural land, which is prevalent in many parts of Canada, also exists in this coun- try, although perhaps to a lesser degree. Bit it is handled differ- ently in the Jnited Kingdom. This was noticed the other day when I travelled up into Hert fordshire through what is known as the Metropolitan Green Belt in that country, just north of London. This green belt is a large area in which no industrial development is permitled, and even the building of homes is pro- hibited in parts of this and other green belts around the huge Lon. don district. The county councils, having established these green belts, have power to enforce their preservation, and in doing $0 they have the backing of the ministry of housing and local gov- ernment INDUSTRY RESTRICTED Just at the time when I went through Hertfordshire, the coun ty development plan was changed, by extending it to in clude a number of towns and villages. Industrial development in this area will be permitted only under the mo t exceptional circumstances. According to the Minister of Housing and Local Government, too much land has already been allocated to indus try in Hertfordshire. The new plan deletes 20 acres of land in St. Albans from the industrial area, and the villages of Rick mansworth, Hertford and Ware and the town of Watford have also their industrial development strictly limited. The minister had this to say "New employment creates a fresh demand for housing, and this demand must not be satis- fied at the expense of the green belt." Only in Central and Southwest Hertford 1s allowance being made for reasonable expansion by already established industries VILLAGERS SHOCKED In another area, in the quiet village of Horton Kirby in Kent, south of London, the villagers were shocked when someone ask- ed for permission to build a house on a site listed as in the green belt area "If we allow this development to take place, it would be the thin end of the wedge," said one member of the village council. "Soon the whole area would be developed. This would complete- Fd the beautiful Darent val- The coumeil turned down the application to build 2 house in the green belt area It would appear that over here there is a greater determination QUEEN'S PARK to preserve the amenities of the countryside and protect agricul- tural land from industrial exploit- ation than there is in Canada, and particularly in Ontario. BIBLE IN NEWS The Bible is occupying a pro- minent place in the news in the United Kingdom at the present time. Considerable prominence is being given to the FOR -BETTER HEALTH Regression of Cancer Under Intensive Study HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Causes of spontaneous regres- sion might well provide the clues we are seeking in our fight against cancer, Such cases, however, are rela- tively rare. WHAT IT MEANS Spontaneous regression refers to known cancer cases in which the tumor begins to diminish in size and gradually disappears ment that a new translation of the Bible in the Idiom of the 20th century is nearing completion, When it is finished, it is claimed, this work will be the first com- plete translation from original sources since the Authorized Ver- sion appeared nearly four cen- turies ago Ihe new translation of the New Testament is now ready to go into the hands of the printers But it may be nearly five years before the task of completing the translation of the Old Testament is achieved. The work is being done by a team of scholars rep- resenting all the major Protest. ant churches in Britain. DIFFERS FROM OTHERS Rev. Dr..G. 8. Duncan, a for- mer moderator of the Church of Scotland General Assembly, is one of the learned scholars en- gaged in the translation. At a press conference, he gave some details of the work. "The new translation differs from other modern translations such as Moffat's and Philip's, because it represents a co-opera- tive effort on the part of the churches of Great Britain. It is not meant to displace the Bible as we know it. Tt is at best a sup- plement to the Authorized .Ver- sion for those and there are many who find the language of the Bible archaic, remote and sometimes even unintelligible Without a doubt it will jolt, but I hope it will 'become widely used." IN SCHOOLS ROW Also dealing with the Bible, a row has developed in the Surrey County Council over its decision to present Bibles to about 14,000 pupils of secondary school age. Although it is entitled to spend a sum of money each year for religious books, this decision has been strongly criticized in the Municipal Journal. It would like to see some of the money de- voted to other types of books. Throughout Britain, the Journal maintains, there is a shortage of text books, and even of pencils, becau¥e funds are inadequate. It goes on to say: "It is right that every child in a school should read the Bible, even if it means that, unlike the old days, the council must lend it. But there can be no justifica- tion for the council giving it away while the funds for are low." In spite of the criticism, the Bibles will be presented to the Surrey secondary school pupils. CCF Presentation Well Thought Out §% By DOM O'HEARN Special Correspondent to The Oshawa Times TORONTO -The CCF brief to the Gordon Committee (yes, It did finally appear) made a lot of sense. The brief, in fact, showed a better appreciation of the straight legislative facts of life of today than any other presentation that can be recalled. It got directly to the point of greatest weakness in the mechan- ics of our present parliamentary system and then suggested sen- sible solutions. CONTROL FALLEN The whole point of the brief centred on the fact that under the British system the essential safe- guard is final control by the Legislature. ; And it is in this safeguard, it noted, that we have fallen down. In the great growth of com- plexity and scope of government the legislative mechanics haven't kept pace. There can be no objection to the growth of hoards and com- missions as such. They are essen- tial, it claimed. But there must be a compensating growth in par- liamentary control. And in this we have failed. Gov- ernment has gone ahead. But the parliamentary system is still where it was a century ago. This is a conclusion with which the observer must agree. The suggestions offered by the party are generally that the Legislature should do a lot more work and that much more prom- inence be given the opposition. Again the observer must agree. Specific proposals are that the house should sit for a much longer period than it at present This- makes sense. It is true that as things are now the mem- bers get through their work. But it 'is getting through it in the superficial approach that must be taken. If there were more time the approach undoubtedly would be more thorough Along with this committee of the house would sit during the off- session. This is in line with the first proposal, It would mean more in- tensive review of the public busi- ness OPPOSITI'N AUDITOR Most signific does ant of all. however is a suggestion that there should be. an organization, which the brief labelled a 'secretariat,' at tached tn the apposition It would handle research and similar matters, and in its furth- est sense would act as a tech- nical overseer of legislation. Regular readers will recall that there has been the suggestion here that along with an auditor of finance there also should be an auditor of legislation attached to parliaments, and in the CCF pro- posal we probably are moving that way. BYGONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Harry J. Carmichael, vice president and general manager of General Motors, announced that all GM equipment would be avail- able to the government for de- fense purposes. City Engineer 0. G. Miller an-- nounced that less building was done during 1938 than any year since 1934 at the height of the depression. There were 159 build- ing permits issued at a total value of $103,085. The Canadian Knox Glass Co., took possession of the old Oriental Textile Co. building, but was un- able to begin operation until ex- feusive r delling was let T. B. Mitchell, mayor of Osh- awa In 1929 and 1930 after serv- ing as alderman, reeve and school trustee over a long period, died at the OGH following a brief illness. He was 67 years of age. The 1939 tax rate was set at 32 mills, an increase of two mills over the previous years Alderman J. C. Anderson stated that the city would purchase a new fire pumper truck at a cost of $6231, at the request of Fire Chief W.'R. Elliott.

Some physicians insist that the only cases which can be correct- ly labeled spontaneous regression are those in which no medical treatment whatever has been used. Others say that it also re- fers to those in which treatment was considered Inadequate, but the tumor diminished in size nevertheless FEW SUBSTANTIATED Many causes of spontaneous re- gression are reported, but doe- tors are able to substantiate rela- tively few. In 1956, for example, two doc- tors studied records of 600 pa- tients supposedly with spontan- eous regression. They found "strong presumptive evidence' of such occurrence in only 47 of these patients Sometimes it takes years for the disease to disappear. CANCER OF THIGH There was one case in which cancer of the thigh was found in a five-month-old girl. There was no doubt about its existence; the diagnosis was confirmed by at least 15 pathologists. Surgical removal was impos- sible. So the doctors and the frantic parents just watched and waited When the girl reached the age of nine months, however, the tumor began to recede.. In 1956 the girl was 13 years old and the doctors could find no evidence of cancer. I don't know whether they have followed the case since then, but I suppose they have. WHAT CAUSES IT?

But one discouraging fact is that no one factor seems to be determinant in all cases. There are theories about what causes spontaneous regression in indi- vidual cases, of course, but thus far we have no conclusive proof. SOME THEORIES In one case it is believed an allergic sensitivity caused tumor regression; in another, constric- tion of the vessels supplying nu- trition to the tumor might have been a factor. In some patients, we believe heat, either external or internal might result in regression; in others, we think an alteration of the hormonal status might be in- volved. At any rate, doctors through- out the nation are trying to deter- mine the causes of spontaneous regression. When they do, we will really have something. QUESTION AND ANSWER G. 8. C.: Can anything be done to eliminate or remedy watery puffs or sacs under the eyes? Answer: A complete physical check-up is advisable to deter mine the cause of this condition. It may be due to a local eye disease, heart or kidney trouble, an allergy or some other distur bance. d Disappointment "reservations for Package Tours MO 83675 WASHINGTON ATLANTIC CITY BOSTON........
