dhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page & Thursday, March 31, 1960 Broadcast Governors Should Publish Rules "The Board of Broadcast Governors is a puzzling body. One of its duties is to hear applications for licences to ope- rate private television stations and to recommend to the government that the licences be granted to particular appli- cants. What is puzzling is the Board's method of selecting the favored appli- cants. So far the Board has held hearings in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Montreal and Toronto and has made its recommen- dations. In one city it turns down an applicant for some reason but then in another city ignores that same reason in its recommendation. Joseph Sedgewick, an unsuccessful applicant for the Toronto licence, has made an analysis of the Board's hearings in the four cities, with these results: "The Board does not favor any mono- poly of media of communication and thus in Winnipeg preferred the indepen- dent Misener group to the Southam- Sifton group with its other publishing interests. "The Board prefers the young and ambitious applicant, even though not much experienced in the broadcasting or TV field, nor too well financed. This would explain the success of the Vantel application in Vancouver. "The Board prefers well established and experienced applicants even though they already have an AM licence. This explains the success of Marconi (CFCF) in Montreal, though it does not explain the failure of CFRB and CKEY in Toronto. "The Board has no objection at all to a monopolistic situation, and thus did not consider the Telegram group handicapped by their ownership of a newspaper, an AM station, 25 per cent of the Hamilton TV station, and a film distributing agency. This explains the Telegram's success, but does not explain the failure of other publishing interests in Winnipeg, Vancouver and Toronto. As Mr. Sedgewick points out, adminis- trative boards are not bound by strict precedence, but one likes to think that their decisions furnish. some guide to the principles by which they will be governed -- "it may be that principles of some sort are to be gleaned from their recommendations thus far, though try as I will, I cannot perceive them." The Board should make public its ground rules. Otherwise, there will be a growing suspicion that its recommen- dations are politically influenced. Fifty Miles Of Beds The rate at which man's technological progress has outstripped his social pro- gress is grimly illustrated by the high- way accident situation. The march of science has become a gallop. Satellites are probing outer space, and no one doubts that they are only the forerunners of manned space vehicles. Electronics and engineering are making giant strides along roads that have no end in sight. Medical research is constantly broaden- ing our knowledge of the afflictions that beset our bodies. Man's span of life steadily lengthens. Chemists are unlock- ing more and more of the secrets of the earth's substances and using their dis- coveries to create new substances with remarkable properties. But the progress made knowledge of his inner self and of his relations with other men has been pain- fully slow. His handling of vehicles de- monstrates just how slow it has been. All too often, when modern man slides behind the wheel of a powerful motor vehicle, two thousand years of civiliza- tion drop away and he acts like a blood- thirsty savage in a war chariot. in man's Traffic accidents in Ontario increased by six per cent in 1959, over the pre- vious year. Traffic deaths rose to 1187, from 1112 in 1958. The Ontario Safety League suggests a mental picture of the extent of this continuing blood-letting: the coffins that were used to bury On- tario's traffic victims last year, laid end to end, would stretch for a mile and a half. Hospital beds filled with the men, women and children injured in traffic accidents in Ontario would make up a line 50 miles long. In light of the increase in motor vehicles, density of traffic and miles travelled, 1959 was not too bad by com- parison with previous years. But con- sidered from the absolute standpoint -- as a total of death, misery and economic elestruction -- its record could properly be called a catastrophe. The essence of the tragedy is the fact that it was nearly all unnecessary, because nine-tenths of all the accidents were due to human failure that could have been avoided by the 'exercise of care and patience at the wheel We Pay Malaria Tax The representatives of the member states of the World Health Organization who met in Mexico City at a World Health Assembly in 1955 voted for a campaign to eradicate malaria because they knew that malaria is the world's greatest single cause of disablement. Now the WHO has chosen "Malaria Eradication -- a World Challenge" as its theme for the celebration of its 12th anniversary on April 7. Canadians may find it difficult to believe that malaria, of all communi- cable diseases, is probably the one that has caused mankind the greatest hard- ship and suffering. But it is so. Malaria has plagued uncounted generations in lands stretching around the world. It has been responsible for the abandonment of vast territories and their consequent return to primitive conditions.

In the lands where malaria is still endemic, the need to get rid of the disease is obvious. But why should na- tions free of it worry about eradication? The first answer is a humanitarian one: we cannot be indifferent to the misery of other human beings. There are also wordly answers. So long as malaria exists anywhere, clean lands run danger of reinfection. History shows us that malaria has all but disappeared from vast reaches, only to reappear cen- turies later in explosive epidemics; and in this day of rapid, mass international travel, no one can be indifferent to the health troubles of other parts of the world. Malaria also affects our pocket- books. Anyone who drinks coffee or eats bananas pays a sort of tax to malaria, as does anyone who buys any product of a malarious land; this tax represents loss of man hours, medical care, premature deaths, missed school- ing. To free the world of malaria does not mean, unfortunately, a return to the nickel cup of coffee. What it does mean is that inhabitants of malarious lands will be able to produce more and better products economically and will have more money with which to buy the goods of other lands.

Integrity and industriousness are es- sential to sound economics and good public relations alike, SEED CATALOGUE TIME GALLUP POLL Public Support Given To NATO BY CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Canada's membership in NATO wins a high level of approval across the provinces, with an average of almost three in four endorsing it. Among Canadians with University training this ap- proval runs to more than nine in ten. While eight years of history has made little difference in the proportion of Canadians who have heard or read something of NATO and who endorse Can- adian membership, there is a very large increase in under- standing as to just what NATO is trying to do. In 1952 only two in a hundred could give a sound definition of the reason NATO was in existence. Today this pro- portion has multiplied many times, To check on how Canadians think about NATO, a group of three questions was put to a national cross-section of adults. The first: "DO YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE HEARD OR READ ANYTHING ABOUT NATO--THAT IS THE NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION ? Yes No Not sure 100% 1952 TODAY 56% 59% 4 4 1 --- 100% Those who knew something of NATO were asked: "WILL YOU TELL ME IN YOUR OWN WORDS JUST WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO?"

World Copyright Reserved FOR BETTER HEALTH Period Of Depression May Lead To Suicide HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Are you chronically dis- gruntled? Now I don't expect you to admit it but, if you are, there is at least one point in your favor: You probably will not be among the 16,000 Americans who will commit suicide this year. PESSIMISM A DEFENCE Seldom do such persons take their own lives. Their habitual pessimism actually is a defence which anticipates disappoint- ment, And because it does an- ticipate it, it tends to diminish the impact of unfortunate occur- rences. Depression and suicidal ges- tures among adolescents and young adults generally are ex- pressions of resentment and frus- tration. Usually these feelings will subside without any real danger to the person's life. I don't mean to imply that per- sons who talk about suicide never kill themselves, Often they do. But usually the greatest suicidal risk, according to a report by Milton H. Miller in the Annals of Internal Medicine are older per- sons who are subject to depres- sive lliness. 'ing 25 per cent are referred to Children often experience periods of depression. Most such instances of depression and ges- tures of suicide among young- sters are caused by psychotic ill- nesses such as schizophretia. Boys, especially, sometimes manifest unhappiness over fam- ily problems. In any depression case, possibility of suicide considered PHYSICIAN'S PROBLEM the must be This is a problem for the phy- ; sician as well as for the psy- chiatrist, since a depressed per- son usually turns for help first to the family doctor.
