he Osha Sones Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Wednesday, April 6, 1960 Enforcement Of Safety Regulations Necessary Attorney-General Roberts has in- structed the director of public prose- cutions to study the report of the cor- oner's jury which inquired into the re- cent Toronto tunnel accident that took five lives. He wants to know if the ev- idence justifies the laying of criminal charges, That is something Mr. Roberts must decide. But the inquest heard enough evidence to justify public de- mands for passage and enforcement of safety regulations that will prevent such "accidents"--if anything that re- sults from irresponsibility can be called an accident, The jury found that "the ignorance of the workers themselves of the legis- lation designed for their protection, the failure to implement protective regula- tions by sub-surface contractors and their agents, and the lack of corrective enforcement by inspectors of the De- partment of Labor have combined: to create a condition of hazard to the in- dividual worker. Several recommendations were made by the jury. They pointed direct- ly at the Department of Labor. The De- partment should make an exhaustive study of the subject: it should be di= rected to provide and enforce inspec- tion adequate to assure the safety' of underground workers; its regulations for work under compressed air should be modernized; those assigned to re= sponsible tasks in connection with work under compressed air should be made to meet minimum standards of qualif- ication; there should be sub-surface rescue training organizations under the authority of the Department in such metropolitan centres as require them. The recommendations are sound and action can be taken on them whether there is any necessity for crim= inal proceedings or not, A good starting point would be the inspection procedure on the Hogg's Hollow job. Why were such dangerous working conditions allowed to exist? And if they were per- mitted in the Hogg's Hollow tunnel, in how many other places are similar con=- ditions tolerated? How does it' happen that these conditions are overlooked? The answer to that last question might prove particularly interesting Obvious Being Ignored Man's frantic efforts to launch his gadgets and himself into space are pro- bably a demonstration of the soaring of his intellect. They are also an illustration of the traditional lure of distant fields. While he looks the stars, he barely sees what lies at his feet There are many earthly areas that still remain largely unexplored, There is man, a mystery to himself. And there are regions barely touched by physical research. We know comparatively little about the oceans of the world, even though they are essential to our sur- vival, Ice and snow cover 10 per cent of the earth's surface, vet we are abys- mally ignorant about the Arctic and Antarctic, Dr. W. David Kingery, of the Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technology, said a few days ago that some scientists be- lieve the development of the Arctic and Antarctic may pay bigger dividends than exploration of outer space. He went on to say that development of those regions can come only after men stop passively fighting the Arctic en- vironment and start using it positively learning, for instance, how to use ice and snow, "the most plentiful and so far the least useful" substances on earth. noble restlessness to Ice could be thought of as a metal that melts at about 32 degree Fahrenheit. Dr. Kingery may think of ice as a metal, Others think of it as an obstacle to transport and trade, What a differ- ence it would make to Canada, for in- stance, if we could master the ice that for months each year locks our harbors rivers! In much ignored the oceans garbage dumps, and same way we have We have used them sailed ships across them and taken a certain amount of food from them, but done little about exploring their secrets. We assumed that in their deepest places there were only still pools of black pres- sure, where we could safely dump our radioactive wastes. But we are beginning to find that there are strong currents in the depths that may sweep our poisons back to plague us. In the depths, too, are the food resources that may supply us when there are too many mouths for the exhausted land to feed. There important knowledge to be gained from the bits of metal we fling into orbit about the earth--khow- ledge that directly affects the condi- tions under which we live on earth. But there is much more that we need to know about the planet itself, the our as we have now is Forgotten Composer While Canadian musicians, dancers, actors and artists have gained consid- erable fame at home and abroad during the past decade, the Canadian compo- ger has failed to assume a similar place of prominence in the country's cultural life. This is discussed in the latest bul- letin of the Canada Council. "It is significant," says the bulletin, "that al- most alone the Canadian composer con- tinues to labor in relative obscurity." This anonymity is attributed several factors peculiar to the cultural life of the country. There has been a musical revolution going on since be- fore the First World War, but it is only in the past ten years or so that the new, or "modern" music has begun to at- tract the attention of Canadians, Can- adian audiences have preferred to listen to the playing of established classics in traditional forms, and "no creative artist can exist deprived of an audience which understands the idiom in which he speaks. "The new idiom is still a strange one here. The younger com- posers are using the new language of music, while the older ones (and these are not at all obscure) such as Healey Willan, Claude Champagne and Sir Er- nest MacMillan follow traditional forms "If certain divergencies of style exist between the composers." the bul- letin says, "these are insignificant com- pared with the rifts between the com- poser and the teacher, the composer and the performer."

In a back room off Crescent street, creditors were holding a wake over the demise of an East-end nightclub. Nat- urally, the proprietor"s character and qualifications were business being mulled over. "He's a good, able man," said one creditor, "but he just doesn't have the knack for stealing." CostlyQuizzes (Chicago Daily News) In 1940, the total cost of running the U.S. Senate came to $4 million. Twenty years later, the Senate is planning to spend $3.4 million just to run its 30 investigating committees and sub-com- mittees for 12 months. Total Senate costs will hit $26.4 million. Doubtless many of the Senate in- vestigating committees are worth while. But it might be both amusing and il- luminating to add one more--a com- mittee to investigate the possibility that not all the investigations are necessary.

Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON England is in the last stages of a clean-up drive which will, when it is completed, make the cattle herds of the country entirely free from tuber- culosis. England has lagged some- what behind Scotland in this re- gard. In Scotland, that status was reached a little over a year ago, with the whole of that country now designated as a tuberculosis-free area The final clean-up of the Eng- lish herds has been started in 20 counties in the Midlands and North-east sections of the coun- try. An army of some 700 veter- inary 'surgeons has been en- listed to make the final tests on over 300,000 head of cattle in these counties. It will take about six months to complete the task, but when it is finished, they will have attained the objective of a campaign which was begun in England 25 years ago that of clearing the last tuberculosis sus- pect from the herds of cattle in the whole country. 95 PER CENT COMPLETE Up to the present, 95 per cent of the cattle in Britain have been tested for tuberculosis. The last stage of the operation covers an area which contains some 60,000 farms, with a cattle population of 2,500,000. All but 300,000 of these have already been tested and cleared under voluntary schemes during the last two years. This final drive is of a compulsory nature, and it is scheduled to be entirely complet ed by October 1 Judging from the results in tests which have been made over a period of years all over the country, it is anticipated that about 100,000 cattle worth around £6,000,000 will show a positive re- action to the disease These will be slaughtered and compensation paid to their owners by the Ministry of Agriculture, The farmers receive three-quar- ters of the market value of the slaughtered cattle, up to a maxi- mum of £100 a head. STANDSTILL ORDER When the cleanup: was started a few days ago, a standstill order was clamped on all cattle in the eradication area, and move. ments of cattle are being per. mitted only under a special lie cence from the ministry. When the clean-up is completed, farmers will have to keep a record of all movements of animals for three vears, to check on any possible break-through of the disease Thirty years ago, says the Min istry of Agriculture, nearly half of the cows in Britain were tu- bercular. It was common for chil- dren to be infected through drink- ing milk. Hundreds of tons of tu- berculart meat had to be con demned every year. Since then, a sum of £1300 million has been spent on wiping out the disease, but the campaign is now in its last stage. FOR BETTER HEALTH What Are Real Facts About Heart Failure? HERMAN N., BUNDESEN, MD WHILE pain is a common sym- ptom of heart disease, it is, as a rule, not a prominent feature of congestive heart failure. Heart failure results when the heart cannot serve the body's circulation system adequately Since congestion generally fol- lows on the heels of such a cir culation defect, we usually refer to it as a congestive heart fail ire MEANING OF "FAILURE" As I pointed out in a previous column, the word "failure" does not necessarily mean that the heart is failing. It may be in efficient, though still strong The type of pain we do occa- sionally find in cases of heart failure is termed angina de- cubitis and develops only when the patient reclining, This is caused hv a lack of oxygen in And down makes it more difficult for the the blood ince lying heart to pump blood through the lungs, the pain is the result of the circulation failure WEAKNESS A SYMPTOM Another symptom tive failure is weakness circulation often causes deteri oration of the musc and or- gans, and weakness or feebleness is the result Now weakness and fatigue are not the same thing, although fatigue also is a common sym- ptom of this type of heart failure In fact, it regerally is one of the earliest symptoms Persons with congestive failure become fatigued after efforts which previously did not them in the Again, circulation is the cause The tissues don't get quate supply of blood their reme 1 of conges Poor les ire least pool an ade- because ed cupera on wastes are too ow ly and the the tive powers after reduced considerably. ert are He personally felt, he said, that the Labor party's security program (modelled on U.S. lines) was better than that of the gov- ernment MODEL PLAN Among the minister's various stions one made a particu- y strong impression. This was in reference to an- other old subject: Employment of older workers Mr, Cecile made note of a pro- gram started in Glasgow Rolls Royce at its plant there has started a retired employees scheme Under it 20 retired employees a day are"given a full day's work Thus 100 older workers are given at least the bit of interest that can mean the difference be- tween a good or a dying life. MEANS IT In other ministers the independ- ence shown by the welfare min- ister could be "grandstanding'. In him it is not.
