Bye Oshawa Somes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. "Page 4 Thursdoy, November 19, 1959 Encouragement, Warning 'In Battle Against TB Dr. George J. Wherrett, executive di- + vector of the Canadian Tuberculosis As- sociation, who was this year named : president of the International Union . Against Tuberculosis, had some encou- raging figures about progress in check- ing the disease in Canada when he was interviewed recently. But he also had . a word of warning, : He pointed out that when the TB Association was formed at the turn of the century, tuberculosis was a very "real problem and the death rate from * it in Canada was reckoned at 200 per ' cént per 100,000 of the population. Through advanced methods of diagnosis and treatment, it dropped last year to six persons per 100,000. At the same time, there were 7,500 . new cases last year, well over half of + the 12,000 cases recorded when the : 'disease was at its height. Dr. Wherrett * said that the World Health Organization, i with which the international TB union + works very closely, has indicated that ! 'the disease will not be considered under control until fewer than one per cent of children 14 years of age give a positive test. It is well that such a warning should be given at this time, for in some quart: ! ers an idea has arisen in Canada that ! tuberculosis in this country has virtu- ally been wiped out. If such were to become widespread ,it is doubtless that it would be followed by a feeling of complacency. It is true that tuberculosis hay been given a healthy blow below the belt, but while this country has the fifth lowest AR Yr RUSSIAN DOCTOR PRODUCES TWo-NSADED Dog wo NGNS REPORT FROM Moscow death rate in the world from the disease, _ a recent survey in Ontario showed that 4.4 per cent of children between 10 and 14 reacted positively to tests and it is anticipated that the percentage would be greater among those who are older. At the same time, it must be ad- mitted that the present condition, com- pared to what it was even a few years ago, is very encouraging. Last year a million and a half Canad- ians bought TB Christmas seals worth $2,500,000. This year the seal campaign is being launched in this area today with appeal letters being placed in the mail. With a Canadian at the head of an international organization, the appeal this year should have double significance to all Canadians. According to Dr. Wherrett, between 10 and 15 million people are estimatd to be suffering from the disease throughout the world. A conference to study how to attack the problem with new vigor and effectiveness on a world wide scale will be held in Canada in 1961. \ Exports Of Uranium Opposition Leader Pearson raps the Federal government for its failure to make an agreement with the United : States for purchase of uranium beyond the amounts prescribed in current con- tracts. The current contracts were ori- ginally written to expire in 1962. The federal government, in negotiations with the United States, has agreed to reduce * immediate deliveries and to extend the , amount of the contract to 1966. 4 What the government could have done, other than what it has done, is , an open question, Certainly, if the United « States does not want to buy uranium, + there is nothing Canada can do to force it to buy the mineral. Even the fact that a few years ago the US. was pressing Canada to push development of the uranium industry as a matter of urgent necessity does not constitute a binding obligation on the part of the United States to buy. We can agree that this is going to be hard on Canada's export trade. But that is to be expected if we are going to depend simply on egport or the develop- ment of our extractive industries. We leave ourselves completely at the whim of larger nations. When they no longer need what we can supply, they expect to turn off the flow immediately. Unfortunately, we have followed a policy of depending largely on export value of raw materials. There has been less effort to press domestic develop- ment of these products. Disregard Of Markings One of the less understandable of driving follies is the disregard of road markings. Unfortunately, it is a mis- use of the road that is widespread among drivers of every kind. Why does it happen? Every driver knows that markings are for the pro- tection of all who use the roads. Why are they ignored so repeatedly? Other violations such as excessive speed, illegal or selfish parking, pre- sumably offer some advantage--in the mind of the driver, at least. But it is difficult to understand the motivation of the motorist who habitually stops half way over.the crosswalk, or straddles lanes. He can get nothing out of it, apart from black looks, horn blasts, and an increase chance of getting into a hos- pital ward. It is just as easy to conform to, as it is to disregard the guidance of mark- ing lines. And very much safer. The good driver observes all road directions, without question. It is no bother to him to do so. There is no strain in keeping four wheels to one The Bsharon Times T. L. WILSON, €.

It is auto- matic for him to keep within the protective boundary of the lane lines. The habit-pattern is so strong that he gets an instinctive quickening of alert- ness whenever it becomes necessary to cross the boundary. A good driver, says the Ontario Safety League, does not leave the com- fort and protection of his lane without sufficient reason. The possible saving of a couple of seconds is not a sufficient reason. Other Editor's Views WHERE THE MONEY IS (Hamilton Spectator) The prospect of a "miniature Rocke- feller Centre" on the former site of the Terminal Building has caught the ima- gination of many Hamiltonians. The optimists among us will welcome the sentiments of a recent article in "Busi- ness Week", which said that much of the "smart money" in U.S. cities is now going towntown. The magazine relates: "According to one shrewd Denver operaor, the gold mines are in the rela- tively run down cores of the cities. We will always need a downtown, and the man who plans and helps to rehabilitate these areas will probably get his fiancial reward." Bible Thoughts All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. -- Isaiah 53:6. The universal waywardness of the human heart is matched by the majestic sweep of God's provision for human sin in the death of His Son. Receive with meekness the engrafted word.-- James 1:21. We must abide in God if we are to preserve in ourselves the abundant life created and inspired with His Spirit. ATS ¢ sia IN te. HR NOW THEY'VE DONE IT WITH A BEAR QUEEN'S PARK Belleville Probe Reveals Loopholes By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- There is a hole here. The main trouble is to figure out just where it is, It could be in the law. It could be in the heads in the Attorney-General's Department. NO ACTION? The gap has shown up in the aftermath of the Belleville in- quiry. The attorney-general's depart. ment surveyed the evidence and the findings. It didn't come up with any grounds for criminal charges . . . nobody expected it would. But also it didn't find any room for court action in the sleight-of- hand attitude that was taken by the hockey team interests in not paying amusement tax. NO LAW? The explanation, and this was official, from Attorney - General Roberts himself, was that there is only one penalty clause in the Hospitals Tax Act--under which t tax is collected.' This covers only owners or em- ployees who don't collect the tax from patrons at the gate. There is nothing to apply to those who evade the tax before hand by cooking things for an ex- emption. as was admittedly done in Belleville. This, of course, seems abso- lutely incredible. One finds it almost impossible to believe that mowhere in the provincial statutes is there a pro- tection against such evasion. A WHITE-WASHu Naturally a first reaction was a ery of "white-wash." The only tangible action from the Belleville incident, except for civil suits launched by local peo- ple, was the firing of city man- ager Denyes and the cancellation of auditor Lewar's licence. And those crying white-wash weren't rabid people. They were not the type that particularly wants to see anyone brought into court. But to their eyes it seemed the government was looking for loopholes first and possible courses of action second. BIG MESS A factor that gives some weight to this is that the government, if it opened up the matter of tax payments in Belleville, could find itself in embarrassing situations right across the province, Belleville has not been the only city to have a municipal hockey club, Its hockey team also has not been the only athletic club to Svade tax by rigging the salary st. Once one was underway there could be widespread prosecutions. And for political reasons no government would want to get en- tangled with them. FOR BETTER HEALTH New Strides Are Made In Fight With Cancer HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. Maybe we never will be able to cure cancer, but chances are that at lea:t we will be able to hold the disease completely in check, And that's aimost as good as a cure. Take diabetes as an pl CAN BE CONTROLLED We still can't cure the disease. Yet in the vast majority of cses we can control it simply by ad- ministering small regular doses of insulin and by watching our diets. It wasn't too many years ago that a diagnosis of diabetes was a pronouncement of death. DOSES BOTHERSOME Admittedly, daily doses of in- sulin are a bit bothersome, But many patients no longer need in- jections; they can take their in- sulin orally. It's as easy as swallowing an aspirin. Perhaps we still are a long way from a solution to the can- cer problem, but when we do come up with a solution, it might be a drug or some sort of medi- cation that will hold the disease in check rather than eliminating it entirely. SOME PROGRESS MADE This possibility is not some- thing that I have just pulled from my imagination. Medical science already has done quite a bit along this line with one form of cancer--leukemia. While we have not been able to bring about a cure, we have been able to prolong life consid- erably. For short periods, we have brought about remissions in the disease in many, many instances. And during these re. ia, generally children, perfectly healthy. BIG STEP FORWARD This is a big step forward In our fight against cancer, possibly the biggest. There have been many other sizable steps, too-- so many, in fact, that many be- liefs have changed or are in the process of changing. appear r One well-known cancer expert informed me recently that any textbook on cancer that is more than three years old is consider. ed almost out of date. HOPE AHEAD In the last ten years we have come a long way in our fight against cancer, Unfortunately, we may have a long way yet to go. But we'll get there, mark my words. Whether it is a cure or merely an indefinite remission, we will come up with something one of these days. QUESTION AND ANSWER Ms. M. M.: My daughter, 17, perspires excessively under the arms, Daily use of a deodorant and dress shields do not help. Is there anything that can help this condition? Answer: Excessive perspiration may be perfectly normal in a 17- year-old girl but may subside at a later age. Under-amm shaving and use of anti-perspirants may help during this period.

Note on the argument as to whether a car should be pulled by a motor in front or pushed by one in the rear: When people move a stalled car, they push it. A zoologist says owls are dumb- er than chickens. It seems to be true in the ornithological field as well as in the human ome, that hooting at everything is a strong indication of dumbness. Parents shouldn't worry if a child is slow in learning to talk. Before long he'll be asking more questions than they will be able to answer. BY-GONE DAYS 31 YEARS AGO Oshawa citizens were thrilled by the meteoric showers known as the Leonard shower from the constellation of Leo. Every 33 years the showers are particu- larly brilliant and 1928 was one of those years, Harding Aircraft Co. of Tor- onto secured a lease on 80 acres of the Mallett property southwest of the city, for the purpose of building an airport. Contracts were let for the erection of a five plane hangar at a cost of $5000. Mayor R. D. Preston officially opened the new airport. The Oshawa curling and skat- ing rink, with artificial ice, was officially opened. A pew addition to Ritson road public school was officially op- ened by T. B. Mitchell, chairman of the board of education. Assist- ing in the program were C. F. Hutehi f OTTAWA REPORT Pearson Deplores Huckster Package By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Hon. Lester B. Pearson, leader of the Liberal Opposition in our federal parlia- ment, has let drop phrases in re- cent speeches which may indicate a coming line of attack on the Progressive Conservative party. During last month's byelection in the Ottawa suburban riding of Russell, I heard Mike Pearson deplore the encroachment of the huckster in the gray flannel suit onto our political scene. "We do not require Madison Avenue tactics in our govern- ment," was his theme. Many Canadians have long de-- plored the phony values which are being foisted upon us. Many Ca- nadians disapprove of the in- nuendo and even the blackmail which has become an accepted coin of advertising currency south of the border, and which is in- evitably spilling over into Canada through U.S. magazines and broadcasts. NO FALSE FRONT HERE Our climate of morality does not favor the bank balance worn on the sleeve; we react violently to the U.S. concept that a chrome- plated ter can symboll one's success in life, or that the offering of a certain soft drink improves one's standing in the community. Frankly, we are sime ple souls, with honest uncompli- cated minds. We just don't like baloney. Against this background, Mr, Pearson's essentially decent re- action against an essentially un- Canadian activity ring like a sound true bell. We do not want Madison Avenue tactics in our public life. : 1 spoke to Mike Pearson to find out what thinking is behind his words. I was not surprised to find that he deplores the attempt to package any public figure, to pre- ent him with a glossy but false front, and to sell him to the voters as something which he is not. "Some able Canadians will re- fuse to go into public life, if they are going to be merchandised in this way," he told me. THE TORY HORSE The target of Mr. Pearson's criticisin, echoed in newspapers and by politicians across Canada, is a former Madison Avenue man from Toronto, named Allister Grossart.- Now the national ore ganizer of the Progressive Cone servative party, he is seen as the leadi prop t of introduci into politics the practices of ad- vertising as developed in this Age of Illusion, "He even said that he would CD VITAL MONTREAL (CP) -- Post Cannon, R.

He recently described at Mount Allison, and on the CBC program The Hidden Persuaders, how in his view the two should be married. In his words, the Gros- sart View is that "an essential function of a political party is to keep in constant touch with the desires of the people, so that these can be translated into the kind of legislative and execu- tive (?) action the people want. The use of research techniques of all kinds is a good way to take some of the haphazardness out of the function of the political party."

Few Ca- nadians would agree that Mr, possessed his statesmanlike ities and political brilliance long before Grossart ever met him. lead public opinion, rather than be led by the witchcraft of moti- vation researchers. tism, which could decdy his politi- cal foes from within as surely as the Trojan Horse once defeated unassailable ramparts.
