_-- The Oshawa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Tuesday, April 19, 1960 Self-Interest Dictates Hospital Fund Support Monday's announcements of a cam- paign to raise funds for an addition te Oshawa General Hospital could have surprised few people. The need for an addition has been obvious for some time. Anyone who had visited the hos- pital would have realized that more space was needed, and that the only questions to be answered were, "How big an addition?" and "How much will be needed?" The questions are now answered. The addition will be a six-floor wing, de- voted largely to space for 220 beds. It will include, too, a 50-bed children's ward, an oecupational and physio- therapy department, a non-denomina- tional chapel and new quarters for the School of Nursing. The cost is estim- ated at $2,700,000. Federal, provincial and municipal grants will account for $1,850,000, leaving $850,000 to be raised by public subscription. Self-interest alone should inspire BROHEN FH 2 40. 4 Bodh) acing A lm 4 AMMAN PAWS © 441A) hn 4 TL of the objective. One out of every people in the community will have need of the hospital's services during the year, and as matters stand now, only emergency cases can be sure of im- mediate accommodation. That "one" eould be any one of us. Selfish interest in oneself and one's family by itself is enough reason for helping to do some- thing about the shortage of bed space at the hospital. How did the shortage come about? There are several reasons. The principal one, of course, is that the population of the community and district has grown enormously in a few years. The On- tario hospital insurance scheme has brought about an increase in the num- ber of patients seeking care--and in- cidentally, the Ontario Hospital Services Commission contributes only to operat- ing expenses and does not provide funds for enlargement and improvement of buildings and equipment. The improve- ment in the Oshawa General Hospital's specialized services has meant that more and more eases that used to be sent to Toronto are now being treated here, and outlying hospitals are sending more of their patients to Oshawa for special- ized treatment. What it all means is that the Hospital has been doing a much better job of looking after the needs of the community. It is, in every sense, a community hospital. It is owned by the people of Oshawa and the surrounding district. It is governed by a board of directors meeting, an an. a g tr SAS EA pt e board acts regulations of the Ontario Public Hos- pitals Act and the Ontario Services Commission Act. It does not attempt to make a profit, but strives to provide the best service with the money available; hospitals are not permitted, under the hospital insurance scheme, to operate at a profit. It is a community institution, a community asset, and the job of making sure that it can properly fulfill its function and purpose is a community responsibility. ected A BA 1 1 I" Painful But Necessary 'Those of us who are "normal" in all respects, rarely look upon pain as bene- ficial.

The consequence Debate Long The federal government acted wisely when it assented to Opposition Leader Pearson's proposal that the House de- bate the situation in South Africa. The government, first Liberal and then Con- servative, has been scrupulously careful in its efforts to avoid discussion of South Africa's internal policies, even when it became obvious that the effects of those policies were being felt through out the Commonwealth and consequent- ly proper subject for debate. It has been clear for some time that open dis- cussion of the South African racial pro- gram would not do nearly so much harm to Commonwealth relations as the program itself. Most Canadians, we believe, will agree with the Montreal Star's observa- tion that "there has been no sign for a decade that this moderation and re- straint has helpful either to the Com- monwealth or those in South Africa ye Oshawa Times T.

Pain is a reminder to us that some- thing is wrong and needs correction. When we are aware of our ills, we ean correct them, or have them eorrected for us, and all because we have had this sensation of pain. Without it, we know nothing, and as the British Medical Council remarked in discussing this strange case, we would have to take special care to avoid injuring ourselves without knowing it. We may curse that headache, but perhaps we should be thankful that we do not live in that blank world without any sensation whatever, Needed who have sought reform or abolition of apartheid. Now, in the present crisis, it is obvious that the outrage to world opinion is no longer to be borne. To speak out assumes the nature of a moral duty." The Verwoerd government may elaim that its jurisdiction and its claim to re- present South African opinion are com- plete. The world knows, however, that strong and intelligent voices in that country are raised against such claims. To them the issue is clear, and their eonfidence will grow as they receive additional evidence from the outside world that the opinion of humanity supports them. Mr. Diefenbaker has been worried about harm to the Commonwealth. That harm has already been done, first by Malan and then by Verwoerd. In any case, it is a poor unity that must be supported by distortion of values. We hope the Commons debate ends with a resolution expressing Canadian horror at the violent repression of the black population of South Africa. But we hope, too, that the debate will not degenerate into smug variations of the "look at us" theme. Our own record with native populations is none too clean. Our treatment of Indians and Eskimos leaves much to be desired. Let the Commons debaters recognize this, even as they condemn the South Africans.

KUL foi tA TAR ih + 090 APs ine Pe A De APS ta I LLM OTTAWA REPORT Secrecy Of Missiles Disregarded By Critic By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Hon. Paul Hellyer, the Liberal spokesman in the House of Commons on national defence, has a towering profes- sional experience behind him. But its towering height is dwarfed by any blade of grass. On account of his youth, he could not get into the last war until most of us were beginning to polish the buttons of our uni- form for the victory parade. Op the less practical side, Prime Minister St. Laurent ap- pointed him to his cabinet as as- sociate minister of national de- fence: but not until 26th April 1957, when Canadian voters were preparing the coffin for the St. Laurent government. Mr. Hell- yer's career as a defence minis- ter was still-born, for our 22nd Parliament had been prorogued two weeks earlier, and all politic- ians were already fully engaged in a general election, in which the voters terminated Hellyer's eabinet role after six barren weeks. However, Mr. Hellyer now rises in his place in the Com- mons to criticize our defences al- most daily--except on that im- portant day last wetk when his leader, Hon. L.B. Pearson, intro- duced a motion to discuss our de- fence policy, and Hellyer was un- accourtably absent, still presum- ably week-ending at home. TELL ALL-TO RUSSIA Typical of Mr. Hellyer's con- fributions were two questions which he recently addressed to our associate defence minister, Hon. Pierre Sevigny: "Can the minister confirm that the Bomarc program has been reduced to 10 bases, eight in the U.S. and two in Canada?" and "could the minister tell me how many of the bases will be equip- ped with Bomarc A missiles, and how many with Bomarc B mis- siles?" When he entered Parliament, Mr. Hellyer described himself as "proprietor of Mari - Jane Fash- ions". A big gulf separates fe- male fashions from military se- curity; a knowledge of the nor- mal relationship between bust and hip measurements in fe- males is no guidance to the nor- mal relationship between two sovereign governments, But surely no man in public life should be so lacking in se- curity consciousness as to ask questions like those? KHRUSHCHEV MUM The Russian Parliament is not equally co-operative in informing its potential enemies as to the sites and armament of Russia's defences. Yet any Russian can learn that Canada is to have two sites armed with Bomarc B mis- siles, at North Bay, Ontario, and at Mont Laurier, Que. Yet what would make Mr, Hell- yer think that Hon. Pierre Sevigny would be entitled to tell about him similar arrangements on U.S. territory over which no Canadian minister has any juris- diction? It is little wonder that our public works minister re. cently felt impelled to chide Mr. Hellyer: "You are a childish little boy" Such public revelation of our defence plans is inherent in our democratic system. But it is de- plorable that the complete mili- tary secrecy clamped on at the very beginning of a hot war is ignored in a cold war. Yet even in a cold war, surely our states- men should show more discretion about a static military installa- tion, and about the territorial limitations on the responsibility of a national government? Mr. Hellyer is not to be blamed but it is an odds - on certainty that, in the undesirable eventual ity that war should break out be- tween Russia and the U.S. ,the first Canadian casualties would be caused by Russian attempts to "silence our guns" at North Bay and Mont Laurier. FOR BETTER HEALTH How Bottled-Up Stress Affects Our Well-Being HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD I-don't approve of dueling, as practiced long ago, nor of the rough-andtumble brawling of our early western days. Yet these once-often occur- rences did provide people with a method of venting their frustra- tion. We are more cilivized now, however, and we hold our emo- tions in check, or at least we try to. CREATES TENSIONS Often this stress, which we bury deep within us, creates ten- sions which strongly affect our lives. And instead of brawling or dueling, we seek a solution on the psychiatrist's couch. Let's take a look at some of the daily frustrations that many of us are likely to encounter, BIG PROBLEMS First, there are the big prob- lems, such as the "cold war", which touch us but which we aren't required fo handle per- sonally. Still, they contribute di- rectly and indirectly to our in- dividual tensions. ' Then we have to worry about the many devices and gadgets designed to make our living more pleasant and to free us of WOITY. BECOME FRUSTRATED We worry about not having them and then, once we do have them, we worry about paying for them. Then we are frustrated when they break down. There are many machines which play a special role in pro- ducing stresses and strains. Most prominent among them are the automobile, the radio and the television sel. Of course the telephone, which we couldn't do without, must be included, too. Through the use of this instrument we can be bother- ed just about any time and any- where. WORRY ABOUT JOBS Then we must worry about our jobs and about our bosses. We have to fight traffic to get to work and then spend a consider able length of time looking for a parking space for the family car. Many of us are ready for a fight before we even enter the office or plant Perhaps a fellow employe wauts a window open and you want it closed. That often creates stress for him as well as you. JEALOUSY A FACTOR The boss comes past and com- pliments the next guy's work. He doesn't say a word about yours, although you have been working twice_as hard. And when you push that button that starts a machine, you won- der how long it will be before they make a machine to replace you. Dueling and brawling are not the way to let off steam. Still, don't you sometimes feel that you want to sock someone? QUESTION AND ANSWER A P.; Is it necessary to be immunized against diptheria? Answer: Definitely yes. One of the reasons why dip- theria is not nearly as prevalent as it used to be is the fact that people are now being immunized against it, thus preventing the envasd af dha disease. BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Twenty-nine Oshawa young women enrolled for the voluntary Auxiliary Drivers' Corps to as- . sist in war work. Oshawa citizens sent a giant telegram of well-wishes to the Oshawa Generals who were play- ing in Winnipeg for the Memorial Cup Dominion finals. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Babe celebrated their 40th wedding an- niversary. Cedardale Public School choir, under the direction of L. Richer, Music Director for Oshawa schools, was chosen to sing over the Toronto radio station CFRB. Mrs. G. D. Conant introduced the group on the air. The Ladies' Bicycle Club known as the Victorette Cycle Club, was formed at a meeting in Hotel Genosha. Mrs. J. Victor was president and organizer. Miss Grace Versey, RN, was the guest speaker at St. Andrew's WA. She gave an interesting and enlightening talk on the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses. R. E. Nicholson was presented with a silver tea service and chair on the occasion of his com- pletion of 25 years as director of the Whitby Baptist Church choir. At the Oshawa Ski Club's first banquet held at the Masonic Temple Dean Patte was re-elect. ed presidet for the ensuing year. Ski trophies and crests won at the club's competitions were pre- sented by J. H. Beaton, honorary president. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM In the world of today ignorance is bliss to a considerable extent; in many cases what a person doesn't know doesn't [frighten him. "Women could stand the rigors of outer space travel much beiter than men could," says a scien- tist. No doubt. Far more frequent- ly than men, women are up in the air over nothing. "A person has to be well muscled to avoid being thrown by a bucking horse," says a cow- boy. He's mistaken. "What do you do with your old clothes?" we're asked.
