Poge 4 Monday, August 17, 1959 Restrictions On Sales Of Tranquillizer Pills There will be géneral approval of the federal government's ban on over-the- counter sale of all tranquillizer drugs. The approval may not e%tend to those who have become habitual users of the drugs, but common sense, backed by plenty of scientific: evidence, dictates that the tranquillizers should be ade ministered only by doctor's prescrip- tion, Doctors have advocated since thé so- called happiness pills first came on the market that they should be made avails able only under the direction of a phy- siclan. In addition to producing a sense of euphoria, or well-being, the drugs can reduce a person's sense of responsi- bility. Canadian pharmaceutical manu- facturers have also advocated restrice tions on the methods of sale of these drugs, having observed the dangers of over-the-counter purchases. Tranquillizers, like any other drugs, are good servants and bad masters, When they are made to serve mankind, they can be of inestimable benefit. Ade ministered without knowledge, their effects can be disastrous. Some of the so-called tranquillizers have been used with apparent success in the treatment of certain forms of mental illness, but medical men hesie tate to make any definite pronounce ments because there is still much to be learned about the long-range as well as the short-range effects of the drugs. With anyone able to buy them as easily as a package of cigarettes or a tube of toothpaste, a scientific check of the ef- fects of mass consumption has obviouse ly been impossible, although it has been clear for some time that many of the effects were harmful to the individual and to society in general Apple Plan Criticised Few developments in Ontario agricul- ture have aroused more controversy than marketing plans, Hog producers are still engaged in hot argument over methods and powers given marketing agencies and growers of small fruits have also had sharp debates, One of the fundamental ns for the arguments is the division of opinion about the ex- . tent to which the boards named to ad- minister the plans should be permitted to infringe on the freedom of the indie vidual. This is thé basis of the criticism the 'Owen Sound Sun-Times directs against the proposed legislation to control the marketing of apples. While it can be understood that action is necessary to assure good marketing of this crop, the paper observes, the powers that the proposed regulations would give must be quite startling to those Who give them due consideration. The Sun-Times continues: The proposed regulations govern all varieties of apples and hold authority over all who engage in buying from producers, transporting or selling, and all who engage in production of the fruit, It provides that all who grow or market must furnish "such information regarding such activities as the market- ing board may determine." All producing or marketing can be required to be licenced and can be pro- hibited from doing so. It provides for "the refusal to grant a licence where the applicant is not qualified by experi- A Matter Of After delving into a number of inter esting corruptions of old names into smetimes unrecognizable modern forms, a writer in a British paper re- marked: "But how much duller life would be if we were all called Jones." This is a sly trick, this attaching of a debatable premise to the very end of an article, so that the reader lets it go at that wi t further inquiry, the Chris- tian fence Monitor comments. Just how much duller would life be if we were all called Jones? A>nduller than if we were all called Smith or Macdonald, which in some places we very nearly are? What about the Joneses that so many people with other names are forever trying to keep up with? Surely not so dull a lot. The last president of the Republic of Taxas was a Jones, and there was John Paul, and an Inigo, and a Casey, not to Bible Thought If any man among you seem fo be religious, and bridleth not his tongue . + . this man's religion is vain.

"or for any other reason which the local board may deem pro- per." One section of the proposed regula. tiome=with which there can be little if afiy opposition provides for the promo tion of sales, apparently through pro- per sales promotion efforts. Unfortun- ately i likely that such sales promo- tion efforts will be in the form of some "public relations" officer or officers who draw up a program of handouts telling how to make better apple sauce ete, rather than the type of sales pro- motion adopted by large and successful industries, While it quite possibly will be ar- gued that the marketing plan will be enforced in a lenient manner, not ac- tually stopping the person with a few trees from producing and selling to his o~ her neighbors, at the same time the regulations as set forth authorize some persons, who will comprise a board, to - do so. They provide for a dictatorial type of power which is there for the using whenever anyone sees fit to use it. There is the old basic law of supply and demand which, despite crudities and difficulties, can be viewed as pre- ferable because it avoids dictatorial powers. A gréut deal more attention to sales promotion also offers a prefer- able alternative, though possibly en« tailing more work for those who hope to profit most. Jones mention an immortalized landlady ---a Jones for every taste. Would the world be duller if there were so many Joneses that some of them called it Joufes; as some Smiths say Smyth, or Smythe? So that Joneses would jeer at Jouneses, and Jounes look askance at Jones? Would this summer season be any less gay if a certain Premier Jones were planning to make a call on a certain President Jones? Or if to distinguish himself from his (he hoped) predecessor another transe curtain traveler preferred to be known as Vice-President Jones-Jones? Or if Prime Minister Macjones was looking forward to a continuation in power after the next British elections? Or if Nelson Jones' son was planning on including the Scandinavian Miss Jones in the "fellership" of Joneses? We doubt §.

Other Editor's Views AND THAT IS THAT (Hamilton Spectator) A fifteen-yeai-old boy in the United States has confessed to a series of assaults on women. His excuse, a familiar one, is that he vas the victim of an "irresistible impulse." We never see this timeworn plea but we recall the bunt common sense of an English judge who, when it was offered to him in court as a defence, promptly replied: "An {irresistible impulse is an impulse that must be resisted."

But these opinions are so im- rtant that uations are prepared millions of dollars in tourist advertising to influence them, ; To learn more about the "images" which people of many countries have built on the basis Atom Bomb To Propel Space Ship NEW YORK (AP)---American scientists plan to use an atomic bomb for the first time to test the feasibility of powering space ships as big as ocean liners with controlled nuclear explosions, the New York Times says. The newspaper says the plans evolved from pilot studies of so- called 'nuclear pulse" rocket propulsion. Recent developments in this field were described by OTTAWA REPORT Broadcasting Still Matter Of Concern By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The development of the welfare state throughout the free world has brought wel- come aid to the underprivileged, the old, the sick, the handicapped and the lazy. But this develop- ment has caused governments to put their hands continually deeper into the pocket of each one of us, and i has enabled governments to chisel steadily away at the freedom of each of One of the significant fields in Canada where our pockets have been unduly milked and our freedoms excessively curbed comprises the new media of communication, television and ra- dio broadeasting, Newspapers, magazines, the- atres, cinemas and the churches were all established as dissem- inators of ideas in the days be- fore bureaucracy intruded itself everywhere. And their economic stability has enabled them to keep free from government con- trol, except of course in the dic- tatorship countries. In striking contrast, radio and television stations giving us news, fostering our ideas, entertaining our leisure moments and edu- eating our children are all oper- ated by, or under the control of, branches -of our government, WHAT CANADA NEEDS There are two basic require ments which the Canadian Broad- casting Corporation was de- signed to fill. One is to give Canadian programs fo Canadian audiences It is arguable whether the CBC a® at present constituted is ts the most suitable of most eco- nomic method of achieving this; it is today the largest importer of US. culture into Canada. The second requirement is to provide broadcasting services to affairs has a glaring leftist bias, which of course suits ~Socialist Fisher, The CBC treatment of your tex money reveals a glar- ing "couldn't care less" ex- travagance, which also appar- ently is not distasteful to the Socialist selected to represent the interests of spendthrift Port Ar. thurians. CBC WASTEFUL But a halt should be called to the unnecessary waste of our tax money by that body, whose counterparts in other countries provide acceptable entertainment more economically. The CBC needs about $70,000,000 of our money this year; it has been esti- mated that it will ask for as much as $125,000,000 within two or three years. Typical of the many little un- necessary "empires" which are swallowing our money within the CBC are its news-gathering ser- vice (existing news agencies could do the job more cheaply), its film-processing laboratories (such as ever Hollywood studios have now abolished) and its audi- ence survey department. Last year the CBC spent hun- dreds of thousands of dollars to find out whether you preferred its programs to Buffalo, Belling- ham and your record-player. But 80 inadequate are the reports by the 37 members of its audience survey staff in Ottawa, the eight in Montreal and the seven in Toronto, as well as the reports purchased from outside sources, that Mrs, Kate Aitken, chairman of the CBC program committee, now enlisting hundreds of voluntary audience surveyors. If Canada needs Kate's Kibit- zers, why does the CBC pay out so much - out of your pocket-~to build up this new and evidently useless little empire in small and isolated Somunities, its head office?

A nuclear pulse-powered space ship would be propelled by a rapid succession of atomic explo- sions. This has given the project its nickname, "Putt-putt." Its of ficial code is Project Orion. QUEEN'S PARK Plastic Fire Hose Wins Over Rubber By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The rubber in- dustry may be in for a serious set-back. Experiments are under way at the Fire College on the use of plastic fire hose. And if results continue as they have the day of rubber fire hose may soon be over. A very substantial loss, of course, to the rubber manufac- turers. MUCH BETTER The plastic hose, which to date is only manufactured overseas, has several advanta over the traditional rubber variety. It weighs less than a third as much--18 pounds against 58 for a 50-foot length. It doesn't have to be dried or cleaned. And it comes in bigger sizes (6"" as against 3") and has cer- tain definite advantages. For instance on a haul of half a mile the large plastic hose can carry nearly six times as much water as the present standard 2.5" size, SAME PRICE The plastic variety costs about the same as the rubber variety, stores just as well and generally, at least on tests to date, séems just as satisfactory in all ways. It 1s not in use yet in Amer. which would not be ec i private enterprise. For the CB to grab the monopoly television, while little Dawson City had to depe tary disc-jockeys, pattern.

CBC trea Muskoka Beach Inn Destroyed GRAVENHURST (CP) -- Fire Sunday destroyed the one-storey frame main building of the Mus- koka Beach Inn, on the shore of Lake Muskoka three miles north- east of here Manager Kenneth Doan estl- mated i pond cost $300,000 to replace building. None of the 30-year-old inn's 30 guests were inside when the a few rushed in and saved some of their belongings. About 50 firemen from volun. teer brigades at Gravenhurst and Bracebridge and trainees from the Ontario Fire College here fought the fire by pumping water from the lake. One fire- man was overcome by smoke but reéponded to treatment. The building «Which contained offices, a dining room, lounge and kitchen in addition to guest rooms, burned to the ground. 4 obs Fotten time. But we have never been able to prevent it. Now # ars that # might not be too long before we can claim prevention and it might be done with a simple pill. FOLLOWS CHANGES Unlike many forms of the dis- ease, mouth cancer practically never occurs in previously nor. mal tissue. Generally it is pre. ceded by changes in the oral mucosa which becomes dried out and very sensitive, This often leads to chronic in- flammation, erosions and ulcera tions. Cancer follows in many cases Dr. George 8. Sharp, director of the Pasadena Tumor Institute, reasoned that if these abnormal and discomforting changes in the oral mucosa could be cor rected, mouth cancer could be prevented in many instances. NO HYDROCHLORIC ACID Dr. made a thorough study of 34 patients with these complaints, found a signifi. cant number had no gastric hy drochloric acid secretion which indicates abnormal changes in the mucosa of the stomach. 1 hope I haven't lost "With this preliminary fon, for how we get to the important Mucosal changes of this t indicate nutritional defi ciencies.

He devised a fal dietary supplement in the form of a tab let containing desiccated liver, vitamins and riboflavin, P. lacking in hydrochloric acid were also given acid supplementation. GREAT IMPROVEMENT Within two to six weeks after treatment had begun, 30 of the 34 patients were much improved. Whereas they had been unable to wear their dentures full time because of hypersensitive gums, they now wear them 24 hours a day. Ulcerations and erosions cleared up in one to two months, Right now, Dr, Sharp doesn't have authoritative that this ented cancer of the mouth. ut it certainly looks like a big step forward to me.
