The Oshavon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 68 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 4 Friday, April 3, 1959 Community's Interest To Guard Blood Supply It seems that many people in Oshawa still think that there is some sort of charge involved in the blood transfus- jon service operated by the Red Cross in conjunction with provincial hospi=- tals. The fact is that there is no charge. Blood clinics are held for donors. The blood thus obtained is supplied to the hospitals. The patients who need it, get it, with no strings attached. The mistaken belief that the service is a money-making gimmick for the Red Cross or the hospitals may be one of the factors influencing the response of Osh- awa citizens to appeals for blood dona- tions. The city is not meeting its month- ly quota, which means that transfusions at Oshawa General Hospital are taking more blood than can be supplied by the clinics held here, In other words, we are using blood supplied by other com- munities, which is a sorry situation. It is a situation that should concern every citizen, if only on the ground of self-interest, The donation of blood is not charity. No one knows when he or she might need a transfusion -- accle dents and misfortune happen, and the size of a person's bankroll can do noth- ing to prevent them. The blood donor clinic is the means of ensuring that the blood supply is adequate for any emer- gency that might arise. Just the other day, for example, a young mother be- gan to haemorrhage; in a matter of hours, dozens of pints of blood. were used, but her life was saved. Businessmen, industrialists, labor leaders, heads of civic organizations and persons in similar positions would do well, we believe, to give some thought to the ways in which they can give in- dividual and organized assistance to the bloor donor service. It is a matter of vi- tal community interest, and there is no reason why it cannot be supported in much the same manner as other impor- tant community efforts, on an organiz- ed, co-operative basis, In this instance, instead of periodic donations from wages or salaries, all that is required is periodic donation of blood. Division In The West There is a sharp division of opinion between the western nations on the 'approach to the forthcoming discussions with the Soviet Union about the future of Berlin and Germany. If the differ- ences are not reconciled, the prospects for western diplomacy are indeed dim. The opinions fall into two broad cate- gories. The British, with full support of Canada, more cautious support of the United States and qualified support of Norway and Denmark, believe that the West should be prepared to dicker over 'Berlin, The British would suggest to the Russians, as the starting point, that East and West Berlin come under UN super- vision; that a UN police force be estab- lished there, along with Big Four forces; that East Germany sign the Ber- lin agreement, and thus be given some measure of recognition; that a Central European zone be established, open to inspection 'of both East and West; and 'that nuclear weapons be permitted in this zone, as long as those weapons be not eontrolled by East or West Ger- mans. West Germany, France, the Beneluz eountries and Italy apparently do not believe that such bargaining is of much use. They do not think that the Soviet Union honestly wants to reach a settle- ment of European problems, and that to give the Communists any advantage at all in the argument over Berlin will only encourage them to manufacture new crises and make now demands in the future, They oppose concessions, but if any are to be made by the West, they must be matched by the Soviets and accompanied by adequate guarantees. The opponents of the Anglo-U.S. ap- proaches to Berlin are scarcely in a po- sition to interfere with the high-level bargaining that will take place, if the U.S. and Britain decide, in the course of the bargaining sessions, that they can reach an honorable and workable agree- ment with the Soviets. What the dif- ference of opinion may do to the NATO structure is something else, however, NATO has been a barrier to Soviet ag- gression in Europe for ten years, but in many ways it is still a frail structure, An argument over fundamental concepts of settlement of East-West differences in Europe could severely weaken it. Th United States, however, is clearly not convinced that the Macmillan ap- proach will bring the best results. There is a considerable body of "tough" opinion in Washington. The probability is, there- fore, that there will be a considerable reconciliation of differences before the talks with the Soviets begin, The British proposals reflect the mood of the British people; the American mood is more bel- licose. When the talks begin, then, the flexible British ideas will be based on U.S. willingness to revert to toughness if the Communists do not show good faith. Importance Of Habit Man is a creature of habit. People's habits control a great part of their ev- ery day activity -- the way they dress in the morning, the way they speak to each other, the way they treat their bodies, and so on, Often these habits are deliberately ingrained, the result of eonscious effort to do certain things in a certain manner. Good driving habits ean be established by just such effort. Good habits are one of the essentials of good driving, the Ontario Safety League points out. Other essentials are good attitudes, good knowledge and good skill, Habits are semi-automatic reactions, formed by the binding together of nerves and muscles, An action repeated often enough in similar circumstances forms a habit, Every time the action is repeated, the bond between nerves and muscles is strengthened, Every time an exception is made the bond, and the habit, are weakened. A good driver maintains the protec- tion of correct habits by never making an exception to proper procedures. He checks his mirror adjustment before starting the car. He signals his intention to change lanes or turn or pull out from the curb, even if he believes there is no other traffic within a mile. He never opens a car door into traffic, without checking to make sure that it is abso- lutely safe to do so. He stops at a stop- The Oshawa Times T. & WILSON Publisher ana General Manager C.

A good many drivers in Oshawa and district need to acquire these good hab- its. Particularly frequent on the busier city streets are the offences of opening doors into traffic, pulling in to er from curbs without signalling, and making turns without signalling, Correct habits, firmly established and never weakened by "making an excep- tion because I know it's safe," surround a driver with an additional layer of protection from danger -- protection also from the expense of summonses and collision repairs. Other Editor's Views SOVIET TRIUMPHS (London Spectator) Every Soviet achievement from win- ning rowing triumphs on the Thames to putting a ring around the moon, makes the Soviet people and govern. ment easier to deal with; for each re- moves a little of their feeling of infer- jority as against the West that has de- formed Russian attitudes and bedevil- ed Russian behavior since the days of Peter the Great. The less inferior the Russians feel the less touchy they are to deal with. So to some extent it is cheering to see them negotiating now from strength, flushed with scientific success. NEED FOR CONCESSIONS (Manchester Guardian) All responsih'e people in the West re- alize that Russia cannot be asked to re- lax her grip on Eastern Germany with- out counter-concessions and without ade- quate security guarantees for Russia and Germany's eastern neighbors. But are the Russians, for their part, prepar- ed to show similar flexibility? Bible Thought Behold how goed and how pleasant a thing it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!--Psalms 133:1. It is also well uw remember that broth- erhood is not limited to blood relations. If God is our Father we have a great Padi brethren. 'OTTAWA REPORT FRINGE Letters Received Letters Answered § By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--This is a letter to all the readers who have written let- ters to me in the past week or 80. Some letters I have an- swered with personal letters; oth- ers I will refer to here. And if there are any kind readers who don't find themselves in either of those categories, then they get a special thank you from me for their interest in this column and for their kindness in writing just to say "Hello" or "I agree" or even "It stinks." Mr. George B. Lunn of Sarnia writes to express his interest in my recent references to the edu- cational standards in various Ca- nadian provinces and in Russia He would like to get a copy of the study I referred to, which was prepared by Anthony Frisch. It is not a book--yet; it is a lengthy mimeographed docu- ment. If Mr. Lunn will write to his member of Parliament (Mr, J. W. Murphy MP, House of Com- mons, Ottawa--no postage stamp needed on the evenelope when writing to an MP in Ottawa while Parliament is in session), 1 -am sure Mr. Murphy will be able to obtain a copy for him from his colleagues Doug Morton MP and Fred Stinson MP, who have been distributing it here. It is worth reading, and will give any par- ent sleepless nights. Another letter from from a reader who writes a breezy and intresting letter which, among other things, sug- gests that Polymer Corporation, the Crown corporation owned and financed by all taxpayers, has about 50 - per - cent hard workers and as many feather - bedders. That's one man's opinion: what's yours? COFFEE BREAK A reader in Montreal enjoyed my piece about instituting a "work break' in our daily rou. tine of coffee and talk, but com- plains that my "numbers break" for remembering telephone num- bers kept him busy all morning working out nasty words for his Sarnia, "FOR BETTER HEALTH friends telephone numbers, Its fun, isn't it? The need for legislation to out- law union racketeering is men- tioned by several readers whose names I will tactfully not men- tios. This is a hot potato. It seems that the best approach has been adopted by the rank and file of the mine mill union in Sud- bury, who firmly decided that they would have the kind of union which they wanted. The trouble is that the great democratic priv- ilege of the secret ballot is sel- dom recognized as the obligation which it is, unless we are to lose it. From Quebec City '"'ex - Mari- timer' tells me that my com- ments on the Canadian Broad- casting corporation '"'certainly hit the nail on the head." Rev, Brian Kelley from the same city on the other hand considers that my - allegations of a lack of proper impartiality on the CBC are unfounded, and tells me that I should give more specific exam- ples of the CBC's one-sided pro- gramming which I criticized. I am sure that many readers have vivid thoughts on this controver. sial topic, both in favor of the CBC and opposed to it, and I would be most interested to hear your commests. THE DEAD ARROW Many former aircraft workers of Avro are still looking for other work, and like everyone else seeking employment we feel sorry for them, even for those who have turned down jobs pay- ing $80 per week and up as not being suitable.

But while it lasted, 1 enjoyed the letter from Mr. G. W. Brookes. who reads the Pembroke Observer and who commented chiefly on that sub- ject. I appreciated also his kind remark that he commends me for my '"'timely and outspoken com- ments on a variety of subjects Slower Work Pace Gets the Best Results HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD You would be surprised at the work you can do if you just take it easy. I'm speaking primarily about physical labor, but I sup- pose the same holds true for of- fice work, too. Many persons believe that if they double their speed on a job it will be easier to do. This just isn't true. Doubling their speed means that they will use two and even three times more energy per minute. FOOD INTO ENERGY Actually, you will find that by working at a slower pace you probably will be able to do jobs that ordinarily might be too hard on you. Your body, you see, needs oxy- gen to turn the food you have eaten into energy. Oxygen is car- ried in the blood which is pumped through your body by your heart. Working fast means that you burn oxygen at a faster rate, Thus, your heart must pump fast- er to get fresh supplies of oxygen- carrying blood to the tissues of your body. HEART SPEED-UP By working more slowly, your heart can work at its normal pace. Thus a speed-up for you also means a speed-up for your heart. It is easy to tell when you are working too fast. If your work makes you short of breath or causes pain in your chest, slow down. Either you are working too fast or the work is too hard for you. Rest is very important for per sons doing physical labor. If you can, it might be a good idea to rest for about five minutes every hour. And don't kid yourself into thinking that simply changing the type of work will have the same effect as a brief rest. It won't Act your age, whether playing or working. You must realize that you can't work at the same rate forever. As you grow older, your heart and lungs can't work as ef- ficiently as they did in your youth, While we can't make any hard and fast rules, it is generally true that at the age of 50 your work capacity will be only about 70 per cent of what it was when you were 25. When you are 70, it will be about 50 per cent. EXCESS-WEIGHT Weight, also, is an important consideration since excess weight means excess work for your heart. As a rule, your ideal weight is what you weighed at the age of 25. Of course, any job, no matter what it is, can be made easier by proper planning. You'll save valuable time and energy by or- ganizing the job before you tackle it QUESTION AND ANSWER Miss R.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON --- With a general election in the offing, the Social ist Party has been given another shock, Morgan Phillips, general secretary of the party, has.an- nounced that he intends to seek a seat and to stand as a Socialist candidate in the coming election, This is a shock to the party, be- cause Mr, Phillips, as general secretary, virtually controls the party's political macainery. He has been in charge of running the Socialist campaign in the last four general elections. Under the party's constitution, the office of general secretary cannot be held by a member of the House of Commons. This means that if he becomes a can- didate for a safe Labor seat, Mr, Phillips will have to hand con- trol of the party's election ma- chinery over to someone else. There is no one in sighr with his knowledge and experience of election campaigning. STARTED A ROW Just where Mr, Phillips will find a seat is at the moment a bit uncertain. In making his an- nouncement, he stated that he had been asked to allow his name to go forward as prospective can- didate for North - East Derby- shire, a constituency which has sent no one but miners to the House of Commons for over 30 years, But the miners had al- ready selected as their candidate one of their own number.

During the sum- mer a small part of the down- town section is washed down in the mornings, but all this does is to move the dirt around a bit. But all the blame does not go to city authorities. Merchants are not careful enough about keeping their frontages and alleyways clean, But the worst offenders are the people of Oshawa, who are careless with their garbage and are real litter bugs as soon as they get away from their own streets. There should be a cam- paign against throwing litter on aret packages and other trash on the streets.

He drove into the city along No. 2 Highway and since I live in the western section of the city he passed through the downtown area along King streei. One of the first things he said fo me was, "You've certainly got a big bustling city here, but is it al- ways as dirty as this?" What could I say? I could say that it is dirtier now because of the melting of the snow, but could not say that it is ever very clean, I believe city officials and civie leaders could lead a campaign to "keep our city clean", and the newspaper could do a lot more to help. More trash cans could be placed around for people to put their trash in, when they are walking the streets. Signs could be put up, reminding people to keep the city clean. Also, some effort should be made to make the entrances to the city more at- tractive. J. D.

So Mr, Phillips may withdraw his name from the contest in North - East Derbyshice, He suid that he owed everything to the Miners' Union, and had no inten. tion of doing anything against its interests and wishes. But he added: 'Whatever happens in Northe East Derbyshire, I have definitely decided to try for Parliament. I have told the nationa' executive of the party, and I have their goodwill and backing. I was ask- ed if 1 would allow my name to go forward for this seat, which had a good majority last time, and it seemed to me the oppore tunity to put into practice am intention I have had for a long time." No decision has been reached as to when Mr. Phillips will hand over the general secretary- ship to someone else The execu- tive is awaiting developments, Here in London, it is whispered that he may be given the chance of a safe London seat, in which case it would be inorder for him to remain at his post during an election campaign, and make his resignation effective on poll- ing day. That would at least minimize the shock to his party. SCOTTISH DRINKING The question of the Sunday drinking laws in Scotland is like. ly to be made the subject of stu- dy by either a Royal Commission or a Commission of Inquiry, Prime mover in this direction is J. §.
