7 ee aa nea Sins She Oshawa Canes: Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, AUGUST 20, 1962 -- PAGE 6 High Standards Needed For Society's Survival The Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation has accused Canadian universities of restricting the numbers of would-be university students by the raising of "artificial" entrance barriers. It would be more accurate to say that the universities, desperately short of accommodation, are trying to make sure that the young people who are admitted are the very best available. There is nothing wrong with high standards. And there is everything wrong with the position that there should 'be room in a 'university for everyone who wants to go there. Universities must maintain the high- est possible standards, and admit only those who can meet those standards, not only to justify their fundamen- tal reason for existence as guardians of scholarship and intellectual excel- lence, but to produce the highly train- ed people in the sciences and the humanities that modern society needs and modern civilization demands for survival. Land Use In The Ontario government, through the Department of Lands and Forests, has been pursuing a vigorous and far- sighted policy of preserving public access to waterways in resort areas, building an excellent system of pro- vincial parks and setting aside wilder- ness areas. The fundamental purpose of this policy is to ensure that private ownership of land does not prevent the general public from enjoyment of the province's superb facilities for outdoor recreation. There «2 yaps in the program, however, and the Owen Sound Sun- Times has drawn attention to one. The locale is' the Bruce Peninsula. Says the Owen Sound paper: "The Bruce does not require any great development program, such as has been necessary in Algonquin Park, Its beaches and other resort areas have been well developed by private enterprise. For the most part this development has been reasonably sound, often more due to the good luck of such an abundance of space than to any actual planning. But If there is a criticism of our uni- versities, it, is that. their standards are not high enough. : The fad today, of course, is posses- sion of a degree. That is supposed to open all sorts of doors and ensure a high salary -- a very unfortunate trend of opinion. Degrees can only have meaning if they have been prop- erly earned and if they indicate a person's special intellectual enthu- siasm as well as ability. There are, moreover, many young people who would make more mean- ingful lives for themselves if they went from secondary school not to a university but to a technical college or a junior college. This fact has been pointed out by President Claude Bis- sell of the University of Toronto. The secondary school teachers would be doing more for education if they complained less about high univer- sity standards and pressed vigorously for a wider range of advanced edu- cation as well as for more accommo- dation at advanced institutions. Ontario today there is a great danger, & definite menace to the over-all future of this great summer playground. It has reached the place where, un- less the Ontario government acts at once, there will be little lakeshore public and left for future generations. Some of the rarest wild flower life of the province will have been wiped out for all time to come. And nature paths will have become impossible." It is difficult to understand the reference to Algonquin Park; camp sites have been laid out there, but the program is to have it revert to wilder- ness state, and not to renew private leases. But the rest of the Owen Sound message is clear enough. Resort area developers all too often leave behind a mass of drab little cottages clustered on bulldozed ground; Yeauty has been destroyed and ugliness left in its place. It's possible that the whole Bruce could be made a pro- vincial park and private development thereby controlled. But more enligh- tened would be provincial policy on land use in general. Chemical Discoveries The discovery' of a whole new range of chemical compounds, the organo- fluorides which promise far-reaching changes in many industries, was an- nounced recently by Britain's Depart- ment of Scientific and Industrial Research. Over ten years of research by Professors Maurice Stacey and John Tatlow of Birmingham Univer- sity lie behind this development, and now a pilot plant is to be built at Birmingham for the production of samples of the compounds for fu: ther study. Reporting on this fundamental dis- covery in the BBC program 'Science and Industry', Barbara Bristow ex- plained that the new very tough chemical compounds were ones in which the element fluorine replaced the familiar element hydrogen. "These fluorine compounds are among the most stable organic compounds known; they. are insoluble in every know solvent, and extremely inert. They are non-flammable, resistant to attack by acids, alkalis, oxidising and She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

Research has now reached the stage where it is claimed that almost every hydro- carbon compound can be 'modelled' by - the corresponding fluorocarbon com- pound. In another program reporter Allan Murray said that the first impact of the new substances, covered by world patents, was likely to be on the pharmaceutical industry. "For hun- dreds of drugs can be changed, and in ways that may provide the answer to hitherto difficult diseases, by ad- ding fluorine. In this sense, the new break-through probably ranks with the discovery of penicilin.

But when they are, they're likely to include rireproof synthetics as tough as steel, which could be used for car engines, and fabrics for clothing which are both fireproof and crease- proof. "The range of possibilities is encr- mous. As an additive to lubricants, fluorine could give them certain ad- vantages. It could increase the effi- ciency of firefighting fluids. And rubber manufacturers foresee the development of tyres which will kecp both their. toughness and their elas- ticity far longer than now." There is still, however, much re- search to be done before the new compound can be applied commer- cially.

YOUR HEALTH purpose, but this leaves perma- Varying Duration Of Bell's Palsy By Joseph G. Molner, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I have Bell's Palsy. It started with a mild earache and watery right eye, then a sort of numbness across my cheek bone. Why do the tears from my eye burn. so much? How long does Bell's Palsy last, and what can I do for it?--M. J. Your description is quite typ- ical of the way Bell's Palsy sometimes starts. Some cases, however, are much more pain- ful than others, and the numb- ness is preferable. The ailment is the result of a disorder of the facial nerve, and it can be caused by infec- tion, injury, from surgery in the mastoid area, a generalized illness such as diabetes, and, some believe, from such things as cold, since many cases seem to follow exposure to.a cold draft. I doubt whether cold does it alone, but it may trigger a case that is ready to start any- way. Bell's Palsy usually comes on " suddenly but doesn't always de- part the same way, I regret to say. Duration varies:' Some cases clearup in a matter of weeks, some take many months or more. Recovery may be hastened by warm applications to the face, Vitamin B, massage, electrical stimulation and other forms of physiotherapy that your doctor may prescribe. Because the eyelid, (this ail- ment comes on one side of the face usually), does not close completely, the eye tends to dry, and the stinging is the re- sult of the body trying to pro- tect it by a flow of tears. It is important to protect the eye, especially at night. Your doctor may suggest moistening the eye with a bland oil, and 'often a patch is worn to protect the eye from injury. In particularly painful cases that go on and on, specialists sometimes paralyze the nerve temporarily by injections, which sometimes is referred to as "exchanging the pain for numbness." In extreme cases, sometimes the nerve is cut for the same REPORT FROM U.K. Universities Hit By Loss Of Staff By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The universities of the United Kingdom are fac- ing a serious problem which is growing steadily worse. Their senior staffs are being denud- ed of some of their top men who are leaving university work to take up other posts. Some have gone into execu- tive positions in industry, where they receive much high- er pay. Others have gone to various countries in the Com- monwealth where greater op- portunity beckons. And in many cases, lucrative posts in the United States have lured away some of their best men In more than half of the cases, those who have left have done so because of their feel- ing of dissatisfaction about the, salary rates for university staffs and the working condi- tions there. SOME TO CANADA Several of the universities have already suffered from this loss of staff. At University College, London, for instance, 16 senior members of the staff resigned last year. Three of these went to other Common- wealth countries, three to the United States and five gave up teaching in favor of taking pos- itions in industry in this coun- try. At Glasgow University re- cently, nine members of the staff resigned. Four of these men forsook the teaching -pro- fession. It was from this noted Scottish university that a sen- ior lecturer, a research fellow and two technicians, an entire research team, resigned in a body to cross the Atlantic and take up much better posts: in Canada. These : resignations have to some extent at least, been due to the government's announce- ment in April, holding iricreases J in university staff salaries down to a fixed rate of three per cent. One of the research fellows at Reading University left to take a post as a senior lecturer at a technical college at a salary $1,800 a year more than the uni- versity was able to pay him. At Sheffield, a lecturer being paid $4,200 a year secured a post at the Hatfield College of Technology at a salary of $6,000 a year. One of the disturbing features about this situation is that these resignations are taking place while a government committee is conducting an inquiry into the salary scales for university staff. Those resigning will not wait for this committee's report, expected early next year. On top of that, there is a growing demand for university staff personnel. Seven new uni- versities are being organized and will open their doors to stu- dents within the next two or three years. This will increase the demand for university staff of high quality to record levels. > Tuberculosis, nent numbness and is a last resort rather than an early one. Be thankful that your case is not one of the extremely painful ones, and keep after the mea- sures that speed recovery. Dear Dr. Molner: What causes brown spots on the skin when in the 60's? I also get red spots, as big as pin heads. Peo- ple ask me what they are and I can't tell them. Is it lack of vitamins?--MRS. R. J. Both spots are common enough, and harmless--and if you look carefully, you'll see that others your age have the same things. Brown 'spots of pigment accumulate in the skin, especially among people who have been much exposed to sun and wind. Pin - head red spots are accumulations of tiny cap- illaries, or very small blood vessels. 'They are just skin blemishes that don't really mat- ter. No, they aren't caused by a lack of vitamins. Dear Dr. Molner: I have one of those wonderful but stubborn husbands who insists on me and the children seeing the doctor at the slightest pain. For three months he has had a cold that has gotten progres- sively worse--we go through this every winter. The new problem is that he has been perspiring profusely. : Please tell me what to do. My husband keeps asking me what's wrong with him.--MRS. . De You husband ought to see his doctor and have a chest X-ray. although gradu- ally being suppressed, is not an obsolete disease. A lingering cough from a winter cold can be a sign of lung cancer or some lesser disease. It's ridiculous that a man can be so solicitous about his fam- ily and yet refuse to go to the doctor himself. He should, and soon, for his family's sake. Food Gap Said Biggest Threat To Civilization EAST LANSING ,Mich. (AP) Inspecting the world's scanty food cupboard, a scientist says there's not enough food now to feed the world's 3,000,000,000 humans--yet the population is expected to double in 40 years. The "food gap" is a bigger threat to civilization and peace than H-bombs, germ warfare, and intercontinental missiles. And, says Dr. Georg Borg- strom of Michigan State Univer- sity's department of food sci- ence, most proposals to solve the food shortage make only a small dent in the total problem. More money is available to study how to feed future space travellers than on how to feed nearly 2,000,000,000 hungry peo- ple, he adds. "If all the food of the world-- including surplus stores--were distributed equally and each human received identical quan- tities, we would all be mal-nour- ished." HUNGER CURTAIN Borgstrom worries about a "hunger curtain" dividing the Drought Adds To Shortage Cuban Fodder By JOHN BLAND HAVANA (Reuters) -- The slogan "not a blade of grass uncut" has replaced the exhort- ation "'not one sugar cane left standing" in Fidel Castro's Cuba. A critical shortage of animal fodder has led to a national campaign to collect every bit of hay. Two factors contributed to the shortage. One was the serious drought during the first half of 1962, which withered grass throughout Cuba and left what should be a luxuriant green is- land a parched brown. The other was a combination of the United States trade em- bargo and Cuba's chronic iack of convertible currency, which cut her off almost entirely from the normal supplies of imported animal fodder. Until the rainy season began belatedly in mid-June instead of mid-May, cattle roamed barren pastures with their bones show- ing pitifully through their skins The Havana press published pictures of cattle lying dead on pastures, NO CHICKEN FEED On June 18 the president of the National Agrarian. Reform Institute, Dr. Carlos Rafael Rodriguez, announced that for the next 90 days no chicken-feed would be allocated to small poultry farmers who were not producing chickens for the gen- eral market. Another result of the animal feed shortage has been reduced supplies of meat and milk, both of which were among the com- modities strictly rationed in March. In May, all Sunday de- liveries of milk in Havana were stopped. But within two weeks of the rains arriving to end the drought, Sunday deliveries were resumed, The Communist newspaper Hoy, appealing for mass pro- duction of hay and silage, said: "Now we must guarantee the existence of hay for the cattle next year." It urged that even roadside and laneside grass should be harvested for hay and sug- gested "'voluntary work will be of enormous importance." Vol- untary canecutters played a large part in gathering the su- gar for harvests of 1961 and 1962, world. The exclusive food club, he says, consists of North Americans, New Zealanders, some 200,000,000 Europeans, and some 15,000,000 persons in Oceania. On the wrong side of the hunger curtain are 2,000,- 000,000 humans, with 600,000,000 perched on the fence. And "partly because of hunger, half of the 1,000,000,000 children alive right now throughout the world will never reach adult- hood." For health and productivity, "the world desperately needs high quality proteins, and at a cheap price." Food is being exported from African countries and South America "at the cost of the health and basic food needs of the working people, and when they become undernourished, the economy is sick." PROTEIN SOURCE One-fifth of the world's catch of fish, constituting an impor- tant protein source, now goes to feed poultry and livestock 'to give Americans high quality protein in eggs, broilers and pork chops. Borgstrom says he sees no hopes of conquering hunger un- less world population is con- trolled, and "even- then it will be a close thing." Well-fed countries had best realize how much they are de- pendent on food imports, and that their food standards can go down if imports are cut off, he warns. "All of us have got to start realizing what things really cost in terms of the world's limited resources, the cost in terms of water, land, calories and pro- teins and soil depletion. There simply isn't enough wood, for example, to put a daily newsna- per in everyone's hands, and we can't merely talk about how nice it would be if other coun- tries became democratic like us, and became informed, and built up their own food sup- piles... "Americans are caught right in the middle of this formidable wrestling. The northern and southern sections of this hemis- phere threaten to land on differ- - ent sides of the dividing fence." PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM That liquids are virtually in- compressible isn't known to some filling station attendants, who try to pack a gallon of gas- oline in the neck of a gas tank. "Laugh more if you wish te live longer," advises a physi- cian. Following this advice would have accumulative in achieving longevity, as the long- er a person lives, the funnier seem the doings of people. -- It is wondered if many of those who are strongly advocat- ing that schools be operated the year 'round aren't parents who can't afford to send their chil- dren to summer camp. OTTAWA REPORT Diefenbaker Bags Top Businessman By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- In the parlance of the pasteboards, John Dief- enbaker has trumped Mike Pearson's king with an ace. The rookie Liberal MP from Toronto, Walter Gordon, part- ner in a firm of business con- sultants, will bring to the Lib- eral ranks in Parliament a life- time experience of the ways and thinking of big businses. While not from the summit of the busi. ness pinnacle, Walter Gordon nevertheless fits the phrase "'in the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." For this Parliament and the last to- gether have contained less kings, of outstanding and suc- cessful business experience, than one could count on the fingers of one hand. Great though the admiration one must feel for the dedica. tion, sincerity and industry of the over-worked and under-paid citizens who were public-spirited enough to sit in our recent Par- liament, and in all previous par- liaments in living memory, one could only deplore the lack of patriotism of some of those Ca- nadians who did not. ALL WALKS OF LIFE There have been brilliant den- izens of musty lawyers offices; successful surgeons and brilliant doctors; champions of the wheatfield and dairy farm, as well as champions of the hockey ice and the football gridiron; good schoolteachers, former Mounted Policemen; garment salesmen, soft-drink dispensers and fashion designers; more than a smattering of civil ser- vants. But from Canadians who have reached the top in big busi. ness, we have heard much crit- icism of our various govern- ments, while they have re- frained from applying their own conceited perhaps but obviously great ability to"help to steer the ship of state. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Aug. 20, 1962... The era of radio broad- casting was inaugurated in the United States 42 years ago today--in 1920 -- when Station 8MK began trans- mitting regular programs of recorded music, speeches and occasional live orches- tra music. Later the sta- tion, owned by the Detroit News, broadcast the first news program and early returns of a Michigan pri- mary election. 1858--The colony of Brit- ish Columbia was estab- lished and the Hudson's Bay Company gave control of Vancouver Island to local authorities. 1940 -- Russian political exile Leon Trotsky was. as- sassinated in Mexico. BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Two thoroughbred mares in pasture at R. S. McLaughlin's Parkwood Stables were instant- ly killed by lightning during an electrical storm. Both mares were in foal. Walt Disney's "Song of the South", based on the tales of Uncle Remus and Bre'r Rabbit, was the featured movie at an Oshawa theatre. Piloi J. Mutton, RR 2 Pick- ering, missing for nine days while on a photographic mis- sion, was found unhurt by an American search plane near Lae Aubin on the Quebec Gulf Shore. He had attempted a forced landing in rough country but his plane overturned. Three 'old geese' and. five "younger ones" were offered for sale in the Whitby classified advertisements. Time trials for the Ontario Motor Sales . sponsored boys' downhill racing car contest were run off west of Simcoe street south, north of the CNR tracks. Stanley Easson, '215 Mary street, won the A. G. Storie Fly- ing Scholarship for obtaining the highest standing in the gov- ernment - sponsored flying course. The strike of Robson Leather Company employees entered its 22nd day. : QUEEN'S PARK Government Needs More Executives By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Over the next few years there is going to be a big demand for executive- level personnel here. This, of course, will probably be a general situation across the country, but the demand promises to be more pressing in the public service than else- where. Partly responsible for this is the great growth in government as old services expand and new ones are taken on (next in line perhaps: portable pensions). But also behind it is the fact that many departments of gov- ernment have not been keeping pace with their growth -- and now find themselves in almost critical positions personnel- wise. MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS A good example is tne depart- ment of municipal affairs. This department is on the 'verge of big expansion. Yet it finds itself far short of the per- sonnel to even meet its present work. This department, of course, needs specialists -- men well versed in the Municipal Act and the other affairs of the muni- cipal field. And it hasn't got them. It has a few extremely good men at the top. But then there is almost a blank. It doesn't have the trained secondary men. Many people blame this situa. tion on the salaries paid in the civil service. Many ministers and their deputies moan that they can't give the necessary increases to keep good men. Salaries are largely controlled by the Civil Service Commis- sion and it denies that salaries in the service today are that low. -It admits that generally speaking they are lower than in some of the larger municipali- ties in the country--such as Metro Toronto. It agrees further that they have been quite low in the past. But revisions which have been under way have increased the scale in many departments. And the remaining ones are be- ing brought up to the new standard. As one instance it notes that a superintendent of an Ontario hospital now gets $18,000 a year. And it claims that even doctors agree that when the incidental benefits are considered not many of them are so well off. NEED TOPS The claims of the commission that the public service now is more attractive are at least partly true. However there is a_ large question whether it is still at- tractive enough. It is going to need top per sonnel in coming years. And to date at least there hasn't been an indication that the type of men and women needed are be- ing attracted by the field. But now Prime Minister Dief- enbaker has been able to take into his cabinet and into the Senate a man who is even be- littled by the phrase 'the voice of big business." Malcolm Wallace McCutcheon was little known to Canadians hitherto. But among the small, closely-knit fraternity of our im. portant board rooms, "Wally" McCutcheon is respected as one of 'The Four Horsemen" who spearhead Canada's business development. These of course are four Canadian horsemen, di- recting Canadian companies to build an expanding Canadian economy to employ more Cana- dians and to make Canada more prosperous. I do not refer to business activities owned and controlled in foreign countries, and directed primarily in the in. terests of their foreign owner- ship. Our four Canadian horsemen are the brains and energy who direct the far-flung and widely- varied affairs of the Argus Cor- poration and its subsidiary net work, PATRIOTIC TYCOON Chief is 61-year-old Ottawa- born E. P. Taylor, most pub- licized as the owner of Canada's most successful stable of race horses. His colleagues are 69- year-old Toronto-born Col. W. Eric Phillips, a First World War hero decorated with the CBE, DSO and MC for gallantry; John Angus (Bud) McDougald, 54- year-old native of Toronto; and last but certainly not least, 56- year-old London-born Wally Me Cutchen. The four horsemen together hold 104 company directorships, ranging from groceteria through brewery, newsprint mill, insur- ance company, gold mine, elec- trical equipment factory, farm implement factory and bakery to lumber mill. Typically they all also devote much time to governorships in good works, from McGill University to the Stratford Shakespearean Festi. val and the Ontario Cancer In- Stitute. Senator McCutcheon had to resign from his 22 directorships before assuming cabinet rank, thus sacrificing a six-figure in- come in return for his remun- eration of $7,500 a-year as min ister without portfolio, or '"di- rector" of the biggest business in Canada, the federal govern- ment. His example should encourage some among Canada's other 3,056 millionaires to dedicate their abilities to aiding the man- agement of this great country bei has brought them all they ave.
