he Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Wednesday, July 15, 1959 Littered Public Places Costly To Taxpayers Provision of additional park and play- ground amenities for present and future generations is a necessity which is exer- cising the minds of most municipal councils just now at a time when com- mercial and residential development is grabbing nearly all the available land. Few people who give thought to the future would attempt to challenge the importance of setting aside sufficient land for public enjoyment and thereby avoid the costly pitfalls of disregard of the fundamentals of sound planning Nevertheless it is illuminating -- and profitable in an inverted sort of way -- to observe just how the public in gen- eral treats the parks. On top of the large cost of maintain- ing the various parks the taxpayers are presented with a considerable bill sim- ply to make good the everlasting acts of vandalism committed: in them and to clear up the disgusting litter which thoughtless, untidy people leave. Take our beaches. In every city a constant fight is being waged to keep the beaches litter free. A littered beach is an unattractive beach, yet the aver- age user--well, many users, anyway-- never gives a thought to those who may wish to enjoy the beach after he has finished enjoying it himself; he leaves behind him paper, boxes, and worst of all bottles, Some even go to the trouble of breaking bottles and leaving them in the sand. One wonders just how thoughtless and stupid people can be, All over North America war is being declared on the litterbugs who defile places of beauty with their leavings. Usually in antilitter camp signs the ac- cent is on the ugliness thus caused. The price is worth noting, too. Because park authorities take pride in their handi- work, someone always will pick up after the litter droppers; but it is the tax- payer who has to pick up the tab. Artificial Respiration Mouth-to-mcuth artificial respiration has been accepted by the Red Cross as the best method for adults as well as children, the Sudbury Star points out. The method had previously been unani- mously endorsed by the National Aca- demy of Sciences and National Research Council. Old methods are still accept- able when rescuers cannot or will not use the new system of restoring life to drowning victims. Here is the method. Clip it out and memorize it, is the Star's -- and our advice. If there is foreign matter visible in the victim's mouth, wipe it out quickly with your fingers, or a cloth wrapped around your fingers. Tilt the victim's head back so the chin is pointing upward. Pull or push the jaw into a jutting-out position. These manoeurvres should relieve ob- struction of the airway by moving the base of the tongue away from the back of the throat. Who Writes It is hard to sell a "bill of goods" to 8 people that already has a bill of rights, the Christian Science Monitor observes. Managers of the Soviet fair in New York now have this warning to take back to Moscow in the guest books they have provided for visitors to the exhibition. The Monitor continues: The wholesomely skeptical Ameri- cans have accepted the Soviet invita- tion to make comments in the guest books, and one of the most pointed sort asks why the Soviets don't state the prices of the good things they are show- ing at the fair. Hoes questioners are only asking to be told the money price. Having heard that, they would, of course, still won- der about the price in terms of human Open your mouth wide and place it tightly over the victim's mouth. At the same time pinch the victim's nostrils shut or close the nostrils with your cheek. As an alternative, close the vic- tim's mouth and place your mouth over the nose. The first blowing efforts should determine whether or not ob- struction exists. Remove your mouth, turn your head to. the side, ana listen for the return rush of air that indicates air exchange. Repeat the blowing effort, For an ad- ult, blow vigorously at the rate of about 12 breaths per minute. For a child, take relatively shallow breaths appro- priate for the child's size, at the rate of about 20 per minute. If you are not getting air exchange, re-check the head and jaw position. If you still do not get air exchange, quick- ly turn the victim on his side and ad- minister several sharp blows between the shoulder blades in the hope of dis- lodging foreign matter The Ticket? dignity, individual rights, political 1ib- erty. Perhaps in a state-controlled society neither the economic nor moral cost of material gains need be calculated realis- tically. But the questioning attitude of visitors to the Soviet fair may tell So- viet officials something about American life that they could not learn except through firsthand experience with it. It is something that exists in all free societies and has always proved per- plexing to dictators. Even in Asian and African countries there is an increas- ing tendency tc ask the price of the economic benefits the Soviet Union is offering through its trade or aic pro- grams, Because on these things, too, the price tags are missing, and the recipi- ents want to know: Who writes the ticket? Need For Relaxation We think that John Robinson, ocol- umnist with the Hamilton Spectator, had the right idea when he wrote that most people these day don't place en- ough emphasis on relaxation. People have been conditioned to ac- tivity for activity's sake, and it has in- vaded our hours of leisure and our va- cation periods. It is one of the reasons, why there are so many motor accidents and drownings on weekends and at oth- er times during this season of the year. There is a very widespread concep- tion that to enjoy oneself one must be doing something. To take time out just to relax and do little or nothing is tak- en. Mr. Robinson says, as a symptom that we are wasting time or are bored with life All of which, he says, is so much "hogwash." We are inclined to agree, and after reading the condensation of a The Osharon Times YT. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manase: €.

According to Hannah Lees, author of Help Your Husband Stay Alive, every person has to learn what his limit is and learn not to push himself beyond that limit. The writer continues: "Ob- viously, anything that makes life more relaxed will tend to keep a man healthy. In each family this is a matter of trial and error, for what relaxes one per- son will not relax another. But one thing is certain, It is never relaxing for a tired man to have to do anything that will make him mere tired." Certainly it would appear that from the number of nervous breakdowns, the number stricken with heart attacks and similar ailments, even in the prime of life, not enough are learning how to relax. This is important from more than one angle. Not only does relaxation help one's tired body and mind to be- come re-created and thus give the pro- per mesning to the word "recreation," but it prepares a person for the time when he reaches the age of retirement. But as Mr. Robinson says so pointed- ly: "The trouble with retirement is that by the time you no longer have to work any more you have been conditioned to dislike leisure." Other Editor's Views OFFERS SPRINGBOARD (Hamilton Spectator) Writing in the Christian Science Monitor recently, Mr. Joseph C, Harsch recalls the observation of political scien. tists that in effect the U.S. is governed by an elective monarchy and Britain by an hereditary presidency. This is an amusing if possibly misleading paradox but it offers a springboard for a discus- sion of the differing forms of democ- racy in the two countries whose Heads of State together have opened our great Seaway. an | on SP Ae" dE i» a EW a. GOING TO T GALLUP POLL OF CANADF RY ARTIFICAL RESPIRATION UK Government Wins An Increasing Favor By BRITISH INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION If, as most people expect, a general election is held in the United Kingdom later this year almost haif of the electorate think the Conservatives will be return- ed to power. But by actual voting intentions reported by the public today, there is an even split of interest between Conservative and Labor. On several counts, however, the prestige and favor shown to the Government has in- creased over the past months A series of questions recently put to the voting public reveals a fairly stable satisfaction with the way the present government is running the country. As a mat- ter of fact a minority of the voters think there is need for a General Election this year. Most disagree, or have no opinion to give. Here's a Poll's-eye view of cur- rent attitudes in the U.K. as com- pared with those of some months previous. "If there were a general elec tion tomorrow how would you vote?" Jan. 59 Today Pet. Conservative 3 38 Labor 37 38 Liberal 6 9 Other 1 1 Don't know 19 14 100 100 When asked if there should be a General Election this year, 42 per cent said "Yes", while 34 per cent felt the present govern. ment should carry on and 24 per cent had no opinion. Interviewers then asked who, irrespective of personal party affiliations, voters expected to win the next General Election, Conservatives rated 46 per cent and Labor 24 per cent, with 29 per cent unable to guess. Mr. MacMillan has increased his popularity considerably since February of this year. At that time a bare majority of the vot- ers, 54 per cent were satisfied with the way he was carrying out FOR BETTER HEALTH Some Advice to Those Who Work Outdoors HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Who wants to work on a very hot summer day? Almost no- body! Unfortunately, most of us have to. Those lucky enough to work in air - conditioned offices or plants can probably maintain their usual efficiency, even on the hottest days. But for those who must per- form physica! labe outdoors, it is a different story. An. these are the persons I would like to try to help today. Even if your outdoor work merely consists of a little gardening, you might benefit from this advice. CAN'T WORR NORMALLY You must realize that, as a rule, you can't do as much work safely on a hot, humid day as you can on a cool one. So don't expect a normal work capacity It takes time for your body to adjust gradually to the heat. I suggest you take it easy, espe- cially during the first two or three weeks of hot weather. Now 1 know the boss may take a dim view of this advice, but he you and the joh will benefit in the long run. WORST WEATHER The worst weather for working outside is a day when the tem- perature is 100 or above, the humidity 75 per cent or more and there is no wind. In most sections of the country we can xpect some days like this, but, fortu- nately, they will be relatively few Such weather places a double burden on your heart. The heart must perform its natural func- tions of supplying the working muscles with blood. In addition, it . must also supply a great flow of blood to the skin to help keep the body cool. DIRECT SUNLIGHT Working, or even walking in direct sunlight, of course, in creases the strain of the body and the heart. A breeze reduces the stress somewhat. since it helps you lose body heat by evaporating the perspiration. No matter what the weather, it's usually a good idea to work at a rather slow, steady pace with short rest periods instead of 'at top speed for short bursts It may take a little longer, but vou will get the job done and spend much less time visiting the doctor I'll have more to say about the rate of work in another column soon QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. R. W.: 1 have had a heart murmur since birth and it has never bothered me Now the doctor tells me 1 should not indulge in strenuous activities. 1 enjoy water-skiing skating tennis and swimming, Must I now give u:: these sports? Answer: The exact sig- nificance of a heart murmur can only be determined by a careful examination. Your doctor is in the best position to advise you in this matter and you should fol- low his instructions, QUEEN'S PARK his responsibilities. Today ap- proval has risen to 62 per cent. In February 41 per cent were pleased with the Government's record. That approval now stands at 47 per cemt To chart clearly the increase in favor Mr. MacMillan's Govern- ment is currently experiencing, the tables below compare publi- cation reaction last February and today on attitudes to the Govern- ment,.to the Prime Minister, and to Mr. Gaitskell "Do you approve or disapprove of the government's record to date?"

Note to Wives: Few husbands become tender from being kept in hot water---most of them become hard-boiled Pressure Rises For Atom Plant By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The pressure is one for the first atomic energy plant. Municipalities hungry for in- dustry are eyeing the plant, an- nounced a short time ago, and hurrying in to see Hydro and the government. Leading the . van was Elliot Lake--also a possible leader in getting the nod. Tt is in an area which has many advantages NOT BIG Actually the municipalities might be disappointed if thew did get the plant Hydre plants including nu clear generators--cost a lot to build. But once they are up they don't bring so much new money into a community. The first nuclear plant will run about $60.000,000, it is estimated It will have a husky pay-roll covering about 1,000 men for the five vears it is abuilding. But once it is operating will drop to a fraction The engineers say if it kept 100 men busy permanently #t would be doing well, MORE CASH Actually on a any community off with an Ontaric or even a fair to middling re orma- tomy, than with an ehergy- plant. this buziress vo! ho he basis ter Not the glamor perhaps, but much more money in the local tills The initial cost is less. You can put up a pretty handsome On- tario hospital for $10,000,000 and the going cost on a good re formatory is lower still But the maintenance cost much higher. A $10,000,000 hospital may em- ploy about 500 people and buys most of the food and other sup- plies for its hundreds of resi- dents locally A wise town knows this means as much as a major industry. WHAT'S NEEDED Nevertheless the area that gets the first commercial nuclear plant will have something to be proud of. And it could mean secondary industries, though there are none tha' are envisaged at the mo ment, Requirements for the site are that it be located away from thickly populated areas--so there will be no alarm about fall-out, that it have ample supplies of cold water, that it have an under- lay of rock And some other less important qualifications ) i Sop rio* hoth till this bill, with the former hav ing the edge because of shorter transmission distance. 18 il and OTTAWA REPORT Eftective Work By Committees By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The work Mr. Murphy explained to the thinking of himself and me his being performed in committees of Parliament here this session has already been referred to in this column The Senate has long been out- standing for its valuable but often under - utilized committee work. But under the long torpor of the Liberal administration, members of the House of Commons found that any criticism, whether con- structive or destructive, tended to be muzzled. This session, the Senators are distinguishing th Ives in their committee studies of our relation- ship with our NATO allies, and of the threat posed to our econ- omy by inflation. The busy di- vorce committee is slogging away in the secrecy of its squalid im- provised courtrooms in the base- ment of the Senate, where plain- tiffs and adulterers, lawyers and private eyes all' share the same windowless butt-strewn corridor as a waiting room. As the Commons committees at last emerge into their deserved place in the sun of independence, outstanding have been hard-hit- ting reports by the committee on mines, forests and waters, under the effective chairmanship of J W. Murphy Conservative MP from Sarnia. Murdo Martin (CCF Timmins), Doug Fisher (CCF- Port Arthur), Stuart Fleming (PC --Okanagan - Revelstoke), Harr MeQuillan (PC -- Gomox-Alherni) and G. H. Aikerr (PC -- Parry Sound-Muskoka) are among the members who hve contributed ably to the committee's work OUTSPOKEN URGE Tucked away in its latest head- lined report, the committee "'de- plores that, under its order of reference, it cannot make rec- ommendations to regroup certain o the Crown agencies and b ~nches of departments which ar> now incongruous." "ome MPs may argue that this fs a glimpse of the very obvious Over past years, many Liberal cabinet ministers picked up their own favorite playthings, and stuffed them into their own port- folio, no matter how "incongru- ous." BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO W. F. Ward, of Bowmanville, presided over the Canadian Le- gion rally, which was held in the Legion Hall here, with represen- tatives from Whitby, Bowman- ville, Oshawa and Uxbridge branches. Rev. John Kelman, of the Dominion Executive Council, gave a stirring address About 40 CGIT girls from Osh. awa and District attended sum- mer camp at Kedron. All took part in the field day activities conducted by Eleanor Blandford. The senior honors were carried off by Evelyn Evans and Reta Perron, and the junior section was won by Joyce Babcock and Jean Brooks. Rev. 8. C. J. "rett, chairman of the Oshawa Community Chile dren's Supervised Playground As- sociation, appointed Clifford James as director of playground activities, Rev. Dr. Edwin Smith preached his first sermon at his new pas- torate at Albert Street Church. C. H. Tuck, optometrist, at- tended the 37th annual conven- tion of the American Optometrie Association, which for the first time in its history was held out- side the U.S., in the Royal York Hotel, Toronto. all-party itt this. topic. Why, for example, should the National Art Gallery be super- on vised bv the minister of immigra- Pas tion, where it came to roost, he claims, solely because former immigration minister J. W. Pick- ersgill thought he was a connois- seur of art? Why should the CBC one of the government's biggest '"'spenders"--report through the minister of 'revenue'? These two Crown agencies, as well as the National Film Board, the Na- tional Museum, the Canada Coun- cil, national parks, historic sites and the travel bureau could ap- propriately be grouped under one minister HOWE"S EMPIRE Similarly, Mr. Murphy rightly asks, why should the private in- terests of former trade minister Howe be perpetuated by the in- clusion in that department of the northern "transportation" com- pany, and of the Eldorado "min. ing" Company, when there are ministers of transport and of mines? Skipping past the obvious ad- vantages of amalgamating the mines and national resources de- partments, Mr. Murphy aimed an overdue blow at our lethargic travel bureau. Its ineffectiveness, he said, has "! resulted in our tourist revenue in- creasing only 11 per cent over the past seven ru, whereas Mex- ico's aggressive tourist promotion has nearly" doubled that country's tourism in the same period. "That is because Mexico offers the attraction of gambling," re- torted an official. Murph quistly points out that gambling was lawed 'n Mexico 22 years ago; the official's ignorance and com- ment, he says, is typical as an in- dication of the covering up for the travel bureau over many years t. Businessman Murphy also wisely questions whether the civil service system of promotion is sufficiently selective. Why, he ass, is such an important job as that of head of the travel bureau given to a man earned his spurs as politica' sereiapy 10 83. health minister Paul ? Couldn't more apt prior experi- ' be chosen for what is a highly competitive commercial jon. he asks. The Oitawa landscape of course is liberall dotted with burned. out slaves of bygone politicians: that appears to be one of the forms of pasturage the taxpayer is expected to subsidize. Murph hit the bull's eye--once again.
