She Oshonon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Hoge d Thursday, July 30, 1959 hin 'Let's Forget Schedules 'When Queen Returns 5 Rested after her weekend at Batter- "ood outside Port Hope, the Queen and Prince Philip are just about at the end of their "grand tour" of Canada. They *hiive crossed and re-crossed the country, "hey have met all sorts of Canadians "and seen a great deal of Canada -- and despite all the. assurances of tour officials, it all must have been a tre- mendous strain. A palace spokesman said that Her Majesty had made it clear before her arrival in Canada that the visit was not to be a holiday. She was coming to do a job and intended to work at it. That's fine; a queen has a job to do just like wyone else. But a visit to her realm oP Carads should not be regarded as a job. It should be a pleasure, for the "Queen and for her subjects, - 'We hope, then, that this will be the "Jast of the royal grand tours, that when she next spends some time in Canada her days will not be split up into so many minutes for this job and so many minutes for that, a train to catch here, a piane to board there, Let's kick out the schedules, let's pro- vide a house for the Queen in, say, Ottawa, and a couple of lodges in the north country or out west, and let her decide for herself after she arrives where she will travel and when. The guardians of protocol, stuffiness and security will be horrified by such an idea. They will claim that it is impossible. But in most parts of Canada little more would be necessary than an appeal to the populance, the news- papers and the broadcasters to "lay off". Admittedly it probably would not work in such places as Montreal and Toronto -- but there is' u lot of Canada beyond the confines of those cities. "Joe's General Election "Premier Joseph Smallwood has call- .6d a general election in Newfoundland, ; and everybody, including Mr. Small- wood, knows "hat the Liberals will be 'returned. The result is a foregone con- 'clusion. The election, therefore, was "hot called to give Mr. Smallwood a man- date or to test public opinion about his policies, There must be another reason. The reason is fairly obvious. Mr, + Smallwood wants a massive demonstra- :tfon of support for his complaints ag- **4inst the Conservative government at Ottawa. Were he the leader of an Asian or Latin American government he could Sibpense with an election and simply gather mobs to cheer him, as Castro : bas done in Cuba. But Joey is in a pro- ~pince of Canada and must be some- 'what more restrained -- although re- straint is scarcely what he has been "Practising, particularily sirce he de- s.gided to take on both the Conservatives and the labor unions. The election, built on the phony issue wof federal aid, also serves to obscure the } faults and failings of the Smallwood re- gime, Specifically, Mr. Smallwood is ace cusing the federal government of vio- lating Term 29 of the Newfoundland Grant Act. That term lays down that Ottawa pay Newfoundland $8 million a year, provided that within eight years of the island's entry into confed- eration (April 1, 1949) a royal commis- sion be named to study the new pro- vince's financial position and make rec- ommendations for aid extending be- yond 1962. The McNair commission car- ried out the study and made its report. It recommended that the grants be con- tinued and not be allowed to drop be- low $8 million. Mr, Smallwood claims that this means $8 million a year in perpetuity. Mr. Diefenbaker says that it means $8 million a year until 1962, when Newfoundland, position will be re- assessed in the light of new Dominion- provincial arr:ngements. No royal com- misisior recommendation, of course, is binding on a government. On such a flimsy pretext is Joey Smallwood putting his province to the cost of an election. New Sun Sacrifices Sun-worship has existed since prim- tive man first turned his face to the sun and recognized the link between "fis ray: and the changes of nature on earth. It still exists, in a changed form. In Canada, sun-worship reaches a peak at the holiday weekends, when millions ead away from the cities towards the Jakes and sports areas, Human sacrifice played a big part ¢ in the pagan rites of worship of the sun. And so it is today. Before history was written, men died on altars under the stone knives of high priests. Today, the new homage to the sun is marked by blood smears on highway pave- ment, at the end of desperate skid marks. "It is a devestating thought," says F. H| Ellis, general manager of the Ontario Safety League, "that tragedy will strike at scores of sun-seeking Canadian fam- lies this coming weekend -- completely unnecessarily. Each life that is due to be lost or wreked on our highways and waterways would be saved by a trifle, a moment of patience, an act of courtesy, a little forethought." This has been called an age of con- formity, and social scientists are urg- ing people to be more individualistic. But conformity is a necessity for those who drive, and particularly the motor- ists on the roads during the extra- danger hours of the holidays. The best advice is: conform to the natural flow of traffic, keep a steady pace in the flow, don't try to beat the clock and other cars by nerve-tensing switches from lane to lane. Drivers are urged to conform to the traffic laws, and encourage others to do the same; conform to special con- ditions -- rain and darkness often dic- tate lower speeds than the posted limits; conform to normal physical capacity; and above all, conform to the require- ments of decency and common sense and avoid anything that could make you executioner or victim, in a sense- less "sacrific to the sun" on the roads. Gift Of Verbalizing While frivolizing his way through the "amusement columns of a newspaper, a Christian Science Monitor writer come across this sentence: "Michael Rennie, in the role of a debonair man - about- town, gifts Barbara Rush with a neck- lace." The writer goes on to muse: Previously we had thought this ver- balizing (sic) movement was confined to such Madison Avenuisms as "for- malize" and finalize" (which have led us to wonder where "capsize" came from); and such show-business talk as "Jack Benny guested on the Dinah The Oshawa Times T.

Well, anyway, we were puzzled at the verb "gifts." Why didn't Mr. Ren- nie just "give" her the necklace? Was it because he wa.uted to make sure that she '"receipted" it rather than merely received it? , Curious, we watched the play. But nothing out of the ordinary happened Miss Rush did not at any point furniture her room, Debonair as he was, Mr, Ren~ nie did not investment in any stocks, subscription to any expensive maga- zines, or even donor to any international charities. The two of them didn't even speech to each other or conversation back and forth; they just talked. We suppose that ever since the Great Vowel Shift, linguists 'have been wor- rying about the changing of nouns into verbs -- which, after all is the way we got a great many of our best verbs. So it's probably foolish to fret about continuing the process. But making a noun into a verb when there's al- ready a parallel verb in existence -- that's too much for us. We just gift up!

GETTING NOWHERE FAST OTTAWA REPORT Public Reluctant To Back Borrowing Patrick Nicholson is on va- cation. His guest columnist to- day is Dr. W. H. McMillan, Liberal MP for Welland. If you or I were overdrawn at the bank, the bank manager would soon refuse us further credit if we suddenly started to spend much more than we earned. This was exactly the po- sition of our government last year and we, the people, like the banker, as i predicted would hap- pen, simply refused to advance the government money by buying long term bonds as fast as the government was spending it. Late last summer we had $6.4 billion worth of 3 per cent Vice tory Bonds coming due between then and 1966. The prime minis- ter and minister of finance made a patriotic appeal on television and persuaded many Canadians to trade their Victory Bonds for those of either of two short term bonds coming due in 1961 and 1965 or of two long term bonds maturing in 17 and 25 years. In spite of great inducements only a little over half of the bonds were converted to the long term ones and nearly half into the short term issues. These latter will embarrass the government in many cases more than if the con- version loan had never been un- dertaken. The conversion loan cost over $70,000,000 in bonuses, commis- sions, advertising, etc., plus a fu- ture cost of millions in extra in- terest. COSTS CONSIDERABLY MORE The minister of finance said provinces and municipalities would be able to borrow money to better advantage, but I and others argued that the conversion loan would cost our provinces and municipalities more to fi- nance every new project such as new roads, sidewalks, sewers, schools, hospitals etc. We have only to look at our municipal tax bills this year and next to realize that it has cost very considerably more. It seemed unusual to most of us that a' bonus should be paid for trading a bond paying 3 per cent for one paying 4% per cent In my mind this helped to focus our minds on what was taking place elsewhere in our monetary management. 'ihe former government had paid off nearly $2 billlon in net . Pabt since the war, bul last year the present government was plunging | i debt at a rate of over $1 billion a year, the depletion of the unemploy- ment insurance account. This amounts to $3.000,000 a day or $125,000 an hour in overspending. Investors took a dim view of this situation. To meet the problem, the gov- ernment was forced to borrow short term money from 90 days up to a year or so, at rising in- terest rates. These new short term loans or bonds were sold mostly in large denominations up to $1,000,000. Their interest rate seemed reasonable enough but they were sold so much below face value, for short term issues, that a big corporation or person paying 50 per cent income tax would have the same net return on the bonds sold in February as they would from a 6% per cent bond for which they paid the face value. In the last two bonds sold this 6% per cent would amount to over eight per cent. The government is thus paying more than farmers or corner- store grocers pay the bank for loans. Because of the short-term loans the government must keep coming back for more hundreds of millions of dollars, and invest- ors have found from experience that it pays to wait for better and better plums. HIGH INTEREST RATES This has all contributed to a lack of confidence. Our interest rates are high and our bonds are selling on world markets almost at the bottom of the scale in the free world. O r people also know that the Conservative party seems to be allergic to a surplus, as they have only had two as high as $1,000,000 since Confederation and that the sum total of these sur- pluses would not be sufficient to pay the interest on the estimated deficit for this one year alone. This year the increased inter est on our federal debt alone will be $106,000.000 or nearly $25 per head of each family of four. Next year this amount is bound to in- crease greatly It is imperative that our gov ernment return to sanity in its fiscal policy and stop competing in the market with our munici palities for money, If they do, the government will create confi dence, which will in turn help bond prices, thereby tending to provide all with cheaper money and lower federal, provincial and municipal taxes, including FOR BETTER HEALTH Atomic Medicine Isn't As New As You Think! HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD ATOMIC medicine is no Johnnie-come-lately. It has been around a long, long time, some 64 years, in fact. While most of you think that everything atomic stems from the World War II period, atomic medicine actually began follow- ing the discovery of X-rays by Roentgen way back in 1895, and the discovery of natural radio- activity by Becquerel the follow- ing year in 1896. MADE GREAT STRIDES We have made great strides in the use of atomic medicine since those early days and much of it, T must admit, has been made in the last 15 years. Various forms of atomic ther- apy can be applied effectively against certain limited cases of cancer, some types of arthritis, tumors of the skin and sevious skin injuries, bursitis and certain other ailments. And radioactive Isotopes can be used for dagnosing illnesses as well as for treating them There has been much discus. sion about the use and possible dangers of radiation in medical treatment. 1 have spoken my mind on this many times in the past, 50 I'm not going to get Into any. argument now, But radiation does have a place in the treatment of certain condle tions, especially in cancer. WITHSTAND RADIATION The whole structure of radia- tion therapy is built around the fact that normal tissues can with. stand radiation much better than diseased tissues. Some tumors respond well to radiation therapy, while others do not, Sometimes tumors once deemed inoperable can be m2 'e operable through the use of radi- ation, In fact, better results can be obtained in many cases through BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Major R.

Such combined ther- apy is particularly useful in treat. ing cancers of the breast, lung, head, neck, bladder, uterus and ovary. Of course, when the cancer is widespread, the effect of either surgery or radiation, or both, is usually pretty limited. Atomic medicine has come a long way since 1895. But don't think that it's anything new to us. QUESTION AND ANSWER A. F. S.: Can polyps on the in. testines be reduced in size or is surgery the only satisfactory solution?

McINTYRE HOOD | Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON--An Act of Parlia- ment, enacted within the last year or two, is already causing considerable controversy, and ef- forts are being made by the legal profession to have it overhauled 80 as to be more specific in its tal Sk vis Ye ul far as I know, there is no similar legislation in Canada. The act in question gives mag- {strates and judges the right to make an award of costs to per- sons who appear before them om criminal charges and are acquit. ted. Such awards are, however, strictly a matter of the judge's prerogative, and in some recent cages, there has been sharp criti. cism of a refusal toward costs to persons found not guilty of the offences with which they were charged, OUTSTANDING CASE One case which really stirred un public feeling was that of a young man and woman who ap- perred in court charged with in- decent behaviour In an avtomo- bile on a public street. There was a lengthy trial, in which the actions and evidence of the po- lice officers involved were sub. Jected to considerable criticism, The young people were found not guilty, and were discharged without a blemish on their char- acter. But when their counsel applied to the judge for an award of costs on their hehalf, it was refused, and no costs were allow- ed, It was stated at the time that it had cost the two of them £500 to defend them elves against the charge of which they were inno- cent. What stirred up the hornet's nest was a statement by a learn- ed judge, upholding this refusal to award costs, to the effect that the fact that accused persons were acquitted did not necessar- ily mean that they were innocent, In some cases, he said, the Scot- tish verdict of "not proven', not possible in an, English court, might fit the case. COMMITTEE ACTING There have been other recent cases of accused persons being acquitted of criminal charges, but being denied their cosis. Now the Law Reform Committee of the Bar Council has this whole question under consideration, It has not yet reached a decision, but it is known that some eclari- fication of the law is likely to be sought, whereby the discretion allowed to courts might be limit- Sir Reginald Manningham Buller, Attorney-General, said he PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM It's gétting to where a person can scarcely trust anybody these days.

'My feet are killing me." women constantly complain. Women outlive men an average of almost six years. "Women are much better at spending money than men are," says a Chicago banker, Of course they are. Aptitude and enthusi. asm always evoke greater activ. ity and proficiency. "There is no limit to space" says an astronomer. It is good to learn there's something be- sides trouble that there's far more than enough of. There are scattering signs that women are being a bit more len- ient towards their husbands.

But in the same year, for various reasons, 13,400 teachers left the profession, which left the net in- take nearly 2,000 short of the es. timated annual requirements. At the present time, the teach- ers' training colleges have ac- commodation for 22,500 students in comfort, but 25,000 have been crammed into them for . initial training. Towards the end of last year, Geoffrey Lloyd, minister of education, announced that provi sion would be made to increase the number of places in training colleges by 12,000 by 1962, Mem- bers of the teaching profession organization expressed grave doubt as to whether this in. crease would be sufficient fo meet the needs of a worsening situation, UP TO 40,000 Speaking at the ammual confer. ence of the Association of Edu- cation Committees, Mr, Lloyd said his department had again raised its sights for the teacher training program, Another 4,000 places will be provided within the next three years at training colleges, bringing the total in- crease up to 16,000. By 1064, he said, the ministry proposed to have training college accommo. dation for 40,000 students entere ing the teaching profession. He added that an even larger pro- gram would be undertaken by 1964 or 1965 if that provision seemed to be inadequate, There is, however, a er reason for increasing accommo- dation at teacher training col. leges, Starting in 1960, the train. ing college course is to be length. ed from two to three years, which would have an adverse in- fluence on the output of the col- leges in 1962. QUEEN'S PARK Toronto's Dope Trade No Secret By DON O'HEARN y TORONTO -- Dope has been causing authorities here concern recently, A drive for law enforcement by Toronto police ras uncovered the fact there is widespread traffick- ing in certain sections of the city. And along with this the further situation that there is no proper provision for care of dope addicts. NO FACILITIES The latter failing has been known to some of us here for a considerable time, It should be known, in fact, to anyone who through any circum- stance has been thrown in any contact with the dope problem. Anyone particularly that tries to get an addict cured runs into it, For at present there aren't fa- cilities easily available for such a cure, LONG CURE One can eventually get an ad- dict into Whitby and put under the proper care. But it is not the easiest thing in the world to do. One reason is that the cure is a long process--up to two years in some cases--and that the ad- mittance machinery must there fore be extensive. Behind this, however, is the further weakness that there are no facilities--not even an organi. zation--where dope addicts can be given quick treatment. The cure of a dope addict, as medical men know, can often be a psychological matter. Of getting him or her under care when the mind is ready to accept it. And at present there is no place where such care is ad- ministered, Principally this is still a local Toronto problem, Most of the dope addiction in Ontario is centred in the city. But still, as a health matter, it comes under the responsibility of the provincial government. And eventually we will have te act here, Originally, it could seem, the most likely step should be some form of clinic such as that op- erated by the Alcoholism Re search Foundation, Essentially this would be a small hospital where there could be immediate admittance and ad- dicts would be given care until they could be transferred to reg- ular institutions.
