She Oshawa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Another Textbook Hassle At Start Of School Year It seems that once again there is a deplorable state of confusion in the provisions of textbooks for Ontario high school students. Late Last week it appeared inevitable that there would be a shortage of some texts and this would affect the early stu- dies of thousands of students. There was the same sort of mess last September. Students in some grades were unable to buy. the books required by their schools until October, which meant that they lack- ed texts for weeks of the autumn term. And some teachers take such a cavalier attitude towards pupils who lack the prescribed textbooks that the pupils' test marks could well be affected. Whose fault is it? Officials of schools, department of education and publishers are all involved, and of course each group blames the other. The publishers say that the depart- ment permits such latitude to schools in the choice of texts that they can only print limited numbers of books "without running a grave risk of heavy losses. The department says that schools want a choice of texts, and teachers say they they must have such a choice becatise opinions vary on the value of different textbooks on the same subjects. ' The basic trouble is that in On- tario as in Canada as a whole, there is a scandalous shortage of well-writ- ten textbooks, There are far too many indifferent or thoroughly bad texte, books. There is some reason, then, for the teachers' chopping and chan- ging of the texts they want to use. But there is no reason why the de- partment of education cannot get to work to obtain better texts. This will take a little time, because the books are not prepared overnight--although some in present use give that im- pression. The department says itis already promoting the production of texts, but it is not doing so with enough energy. In the meantime, school officials should give more thought, when selecting texts, to the problems of both students and pub- lishers. Safety On The Water A coroner's jury in Toronto has re- eommended that the federal depart- ment of transport do some research on lifejackets. The recommendation was made after a coroner said that thousands of lifejackets which have received government approval are worse than useless when the person using them is unconscious in the water; the wearer will probably drown because the jacket does not keep the face out the water. More than an investigation into the lifejacket situation is needed. What is now demanded by conditions and events is a thorough-going investiga- tion of the whole water-safety situ- ation. Water traffic is now so heavy and the written and unwritten rules governing that traffic so generally ignored that it's a wonder that the death toll is not much larger than it is. But it is luck, not good manage- ment, that holds down the toll. One of these days the luck will run out, and there will be a great public outcry, "Why wasn't something done?" The public will have brought about the situation by its own re- jection of common sense in boating, but government officials will also have :to bear blame for not giving more attention to an obvious situ- ation. Luck. ran out recently for people who ovérloaded a small boat and took we oe WM, WHO'S AFRAID OF THE BIG BAD WOLVES? YOUR HEALTH Wounds Mended By Scar Tissue By JOSEPH G. MILNER MD Please answer these questions for me. A--Can anything be done to prevent scar tissue after major surgery (hysterectomy, includ- ing cervix)? B--Is scar tissue the same as adhesion? C--Is there any way to dis- solve scar tissue once it has formed? Does it always form after surgery? D--Is the formation of scar tissue after the above operation a serious matter? -- Mrs. F. I. A--There's no way to prevent scar tissue from forming, nor + would you want to do so. Such it out on a busy lake at night with- out running lights. A cruiser ran over the boat and two people died of in- juries inflicted by the cruiser's pro- peller. That one accident' demons- trated why there must be stricter rules, more strictly enforced. Pattern Of Spending Canadian consumers spend about $25 billion a year for goods and services, an outlay: that accounts for almost two-thirds of total national expenditure. A shift of single per- centage point in the pattern of spend- ing, therefore, has an enormous im- pact not only on those manufacturers and merchants who depend directly for their livelihood on the purchases of individuals but also on the economy as a whole. The current business review of the Bank of Montreal charts the changes in the spending pattern since 1954, The study reveals that on the one hand there has been a steady quarter- by-quarter increase in spending on services, at a greater rate than the rate of increase in spending on all consumer goods and services taken together. On the other hand, spend- ing on durable goods (automobiles, furniture, household appliances etc.) has fluctuated widely. Spending on non-durable goods such as food, cloth- -ing and tobacco, has risen steadily throughout the period, roughly in line with the increase in total consumer spending. The big increase in expenditure on services has been accompanied by, and is partly attributable to, rélatively greater increases in the prices of ser- vices than of goods, the review notes. Since 1954, prices of services have risen by about 23 per cent, while prices of non-durable goods moved up only eight per cent and those of durables remained. virtually unchan- ged. This may reflect in part the fact that many service industries have a high labor content and by their nature are generally less-influenced by ad- vances in technology. In many goods- producing industries, by contrast, there have been significant improve- ments in productivity in the period, Notes From A Desk Pad Considering the amount of public apathy and official confusion towards civil defence, it's little wonder that the emergency measures organization quickly came under the knife in the She Oshawa Times T, L.

Fibrous tissue (the scar) commonly is as strong as the original tissue, and it may be even stronger. This is nec- essary in any wound, whether a cut finger or a hysterectomy. B--Scar tissue does not nec- essarily mean "adhesion," al- though an adhesion is, of course, composed of scar tissue. In operations it is not always Possible to prevent some por- tions of cut tissue from touching each other and healing together even though they were not origi- nally joined. Many times this does no harm, But if the adhe- sion happens to interfere in some way, then a secord oper- ation may be needed to correct it. For one example, after an abdominal operation scar tissue may form in such a way as to REPORT FROM U.K. Plan To Finance Scots Plebiscite By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times EDINBURGH, Scotland -- A "commando" campaign to make contact with every voter in Scotland over the next 12 months, in order to collect a minimum donation of approxim- ately 75 cents, has been announc- ed by the Scottish Plebiscite Ap: ea) Fund Committee. This fund 8 being raised to finance a nation-wide plebiscite on self- government for Scotland Announcing this campaign John Rollo, the chairman of the business committee for the fund, said he did. not think the sum of 75 cents was too much to ask from any person who was wor ried about the future of Scotland, "While we are willing to ac- cept donations of all sizes, we feel that if e man's country is not worth 75 cents to him, he should not be living in it," he said $300,000 OBJECTIVE The target set by the Plébis- cite Appeal Fund Committee is $300,000, This is the amount it is estimated will be required to finance the plebiscite, details of which were first published in this column ai the end of Jast year. It is proposed that the plebiscite would be conducted by secret postal ballot, and based on the electoral roll for Scotland. Mr. Rollo said he hoped that the required amount would be forthcoming by June of next year. He said he also hoped that the first $30,000 would be raised by the end of October of this year. Ht-was-then proposed to organize a small prize draw, offering about $150 in prizes to the hold- ers of winning contribution slips. There would be a first prize of $75, two prizes of $30 and one of $15 to the person re- sponsible for the collection of the prize-winning contribution. ed that it is hoped to. appoint some other full-time officials in the near future. From Stonehaven to Wick, 31 local committees for the appeal fund are either functioning or being constituted. Over the re- mainder of the country, there are regional committees in Ed- inburgh, Glasgow, the Forth Valley, Stirling and Clackman- nanshire, Fife and Perthshire. Emphasizing the need for the plebiscite, Mr. Rollo said that at present Scotsmen adopted pe- culiar attitudes when it came to voting. Too many were torn be- tween party loyalties and what they thought was best for Scot- land, "Very often', said Mr. Rollo, "this means they are voting for the lesser of two evils, and not for what ts best for Scotland. We believe that the holding of this plebiscite is the best solu- tion, Whether the results are favorable to self-government or not, it will mean that the Scot- ish voters will have made up their own minds." constrict the bowel. This would' be a case of "adhesion" which ean be serious. C--There is no way to "dis- solve' scar tissue. In some people, especially those of dark complexions, but others as well, a surface scar, as the incision of an operation, or a deep cut, may grow much thicker than average. This is called a "ke- loid,"" but it is really only an extra large formation of scar tissue. Plastic surgeons some- times can make this less notice- able by removing the over- grown scar itself, then with meticulous care bringing the edges of the skin together again. A special technique is used for doing this. It cannot guarantee that a new keloid will not form, but it often suc- ceeds. Anyway, yes, scar tissue al- ways forms after surgery. It must. Only occasionally does it form in such a way as to be undesirable. D--In a hysterectomy, forma- tion of scar tissue does not. us- ually involve any problems. Dear Dr, Molnér: What. 'is known about taking estrogen as a cause of cancer? { have heard there is a relationship. --J. W. No, I don't know. of any such causal relationship. Estrogen or other hormones can speed the growth of some kinds of cancer, but that is quite a different matter from "causing" the can- 'cer. In average amounts used, estrogens are not regarded as a factor in cancer in humans. Dear Dr. Milner: What can be done for a rectal itch that just about drives me crazy? I have tried all the salves and preparations on the market. The doctor suggested it might be pinworm, but tests found that was not the case. He sug- gested an ointment but that did no good, -- Mrs. P. J. If pinworm has been ruled out, there are other possible causes, but I would suggest more than one test, since the modern method, using. sticky cellulose tape, is so simple and convenient, Other possibilities include al- lergy to foods or fabrics; ex- cessive) beer drinking; exces- sive moisture over use of oint- ments keeping the area scrup- ulously clean, and then dry by applying a small wad of cotton wool, has helped many people.

Through Op- eration World Markets, whose details he describes today, Trader Hees is seeking to open up doors in every tariff_wall to - admit Canadian sellers. While our daily newspapers are editorially -criticising "the indolent Canadian', and: against the long-standing background of our industrial inferiority com. plex, Trader Hees has set out to demonstrate to Canadian manu- facturers that they are at least the equal of any other. There has never been too much trouble about selling the riches which nature dumped in our backyard, or proliferates on our farms. But our manufac- turing industries suffer from that defeatist shibboleth about "our domestic market is too small", coupled with the un- questioned and serious handi- cap that the foreign owners of many of our plants don't per- mit them to compete in exports. BUILDING OUR PRIDE But from the very first day when, 22 months ago, Mr. Hees was appointed minister of trade and commerce, he has been brusquely telling our manufac- turers to get the lead out of their pants, and he has help- fully shown their salesmen where in the world to take their samples, In this, as I remarked earlier, "Trader Hees has done more to help Canadian industry in 22 months than his 14 prede- cessors as Canadian tradé min- ister did in the 68 years since our trade department was cre- ated," And as proof of this daring assertion, I submit the record of salesmanship now being achieved around the world by Canadian manufacturers. We are selling watches to the watchmakers of- Switzerland; umbrellas to the British who have always worn an umbrella as a fifth limb; toys to the Ja- panese who are themselves toy- makers to the world. These im- probable achievements serve to show our salesmen that "it can be done". The significance of Operation World Markets is two-fold. Can- ada is included in the world, and markets for Canadians now have been broadened beyond our own. borders. These are two continuing benefits whch will endure\in Canada long after Mr. Hees has become a name on a tombstone. Manufacturers are learning now, and will never forget, that they can meet and beat the best in the world in selected lines. So long as Canadian quality matches others, and the price is + H t right, our salesmen can sell around the world, Mr. Hees as- serts. And that includes right here in Canada, where our man- ufacturers are being savagely outsold by even-Stephen com- petition such as from U.S. Plants just a few miles away across the border. NEW STEPS STAGED ' Following up his earlier meas- ures, such as Canada's first ex- port conference and 12 provin. cial trade conferences and more recently the Canadian samples shows--colorfully described in the 'Ottawa patois' as fly-and- buy missions--Mr. Hees now is launching further valuable steps to help our manufacturers. First will come the industrial expan- sion conference here this week; then the world markets machin- e.y and equipment buying mis- sion in March, and the national Canadian samples show in April. The mission will bring 200 t business executives and offi- cials from leading world coun- tries to Canada, to visit our plants and see just what Can- ada makes, The samples show 'will bring more than 500 buy- ers from around the world to a huge exhibit of Canadian prod. ucts: of the whole range nor- mally found in any large de- partment store. 4 These two promotions by the trade department together con- stitute the biggest actual world- wide fiarket ever gathered by any governmént and trans. ported to the very doorstep of the manufacturers. And now, for the first time, Canadian manufacturers are really trying to sell to the world and--largely thanks to the drive of our newly - inspired trade depart- ment--succeeding. ; READERS' VIEWS Comfort Station Urged, Bus Pickup Dear Sir: As a visitor to this city, I am surprised that with a population of 60,000, there is no public con- venience in or near the centre. There is in my opinion a suit- able site (unles already acquir- ed) next to the model house on Simcoe street. An attractively de signed building could be erected sev- eral feet from the main road, with approaches from Athol street west and Simcoe street. I have been twice to the lake by omnibus and on both occa- sions, waited with a small group for the return journey on the opposite side to the unloading point. My complaint is, I con- sider it very unfair that drivers should be allowed to pick up pas- sengers at this point, to the disadvantage of those waiting opposite, possibley 10 minutes or more. Drivers should be instructed to proceed empty to their re- versing point and have a de- finite picking up post on right side of road. In England a driver is not al- lowed to pick up passengers if he has to reverse for a return journey until this reverse has been made. Furthermore pas- sengers are requested to form in queues, thus first come, first aboard and no scrambling for seats. Oshawa E. L.

One of the reasons for liking it so much is that its men al- most invariably have been courteous and considerate. They haven't been 'killer cops"'. Now this is to be changed a bit. Orders have gone out that in future provincial policemen on traffic duty are not to issue so many "warnings". : Where there are reasonable grounds for laying a charge a charge is to be laid. This order is part of a do or die effort in highway safety. The highway fatality toll has been increasing at an alarming rate this summer. To try and curb it extreme measures have had to be taken.

TWO SIDES About the only sound argu- ment presented against a code of ethics is that it might deter some men from standing for council. < The main argument for it is that a great many elected peo- ple really don't know what is expected of them in an ethical way. It 'can be quite within the per- sonal ethics of some of them to represent firms doing business with council or even do busi- ness with council themselves. They have to be told in some way that this can't be done and that is the main purpose of hav- ing a code of ethics. It would collect and publicize prohibi- tions that are actually in the Municipal Act now. As for keeping some men back, Mayor Mills of Kingston complains that with a code he might be disbarred from selling the city two blotters. Presum- ably he thinks stationery deal- ers would be deterred from run- ning for public office. But_then there is the other side that some men, and per- haps some stationery : dealers, have been running for office to build up their businesses.

I have read the Bible from be- ginning to end many times in my time when an adolescent, a teenager and now that I am mature (I don't know if I'm past middle "age "whatever that means') and I haven't found anything gory, racy or dirty in the Holy Writ that would lead juveniles into delinquency. In fact the Scriptures teach the op- posite. It is written, "Seek God early and you shall find Him" Prov- erbs 8:17. Because I did seek God I have found Him and know him.
