REPORT FROM U.K. Council Suggests Expansion Plans She Osharon Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1963--PAGE 6 Dedicated Group Earns Thanks Of Community For inspiring reading, we re- commend the 1962 annual report of the Women's Welfare League of Oshawa, directors of Simcoe Hall Settlement House. This dedicated group of women do an enormously important and constructive job for the community, without any fuss or flurry and all too often, we fear, without proper' recognition or praise. They are fortunate, of course, in having a person like Harold W. McNeill as their full-time director at Simcoe Hall; he is completely and selflessly identified with the work of the Settlement House and somehow finds the time and energy to go beyond that in his service to the community. The League also relies on the active co-operation of community-minded -volunteers. Mr. McNeill's report on 1962 activities at Simcoe Hall is a reve- lation of what the organization means to Oshawa, He states simply: It is 84 years since the Women's Welfare League of Oshawa was organized; and 28 years since they 'were charactered as a charitable organization and established Simcoe Hall Settlement House. Through the years the gram and activities have changed responding to the changing needs of the community, but the underlying purpose remains the same, that of helping people. "1962 was a busy year at Simcoe Hall, with an attendance of 61,561; over 50 clubs, groups and classes participating and a continuing in- crease in the demand for our social and welfare service." Then he goes into details, and an amazing account it is -- nursery school, speech correction classes, piano music school, after school junior groups, teen-age girls' club, badminton club, archery club and a score of other activities involving people of all ages. We can say with Mr. McNeill that we all owe a debt to "The members of the Women's Welfare League who have so un- selfishly given of themselves to this voluntary organization." Spread Of A-Weapons Ever since the United States lost its monopoly on nuclear weapons, the fear has been expressed that the Nuclear Club might be enlarged to the point where a small, irrespon- sible nation could trigger an all-out nuclear war. The authors of a new book, "The Spread of Nuclear Weapons", be- lieve that to accept the spread of nuclear weapons to the four corners of the earth is much too pessimistic. Leonard Beaton and John Maddox, who prepared the book for the Institute of Strategic Studies, argue there are strong practical factors that limit the spread of the weapons. They point out that even the jie Hmost modest of nuclear programs requires a deliberate and massive industrial effort, followed by con- tinuous and highly expensive deve- lopment. Once the bomb is produced, the possessor must then look around for somewhere in which to test it, Countries like Sweden, Switzerland and West Germany lack space, and uninhabited and isolated islands are not always accessible, to say the least. The testers could go under- ground, but this requires special techniques and would probably be impossible in most small countries because of the threat of pollution of water supplies. There is space, but rockets are expensive and un- dependable. The authors warn, however, that it should be clearly understood "that there are no simple technical ways to stop the spread of these weapons, The problem cannot be isolated. The decision to produce nuclear weapons is a major political under- taking and depends in the end on the safety which the world provides for the middle powers. It should be the aim of all governments to main- tain and extend the present situ- ation in which many countries prefer holding an option to embark on the uncertain cost and effort (with an uncertain increase in security) involved in an independent force." Senators Investigate It's possible that the U.S. State Department's blast against Canada's lack of decision on nuclear weapons will heat the political pot in the United States as well as in Canada. The U.S. Senate starts a formal investigation today into the Cana- dian-U.S. nuclear controversy. It is being conducted by a Senate foreign relations sub-committee, behind closed doors, and is headed by Senator George Aiken, Vermont Republican and one of Canada's staunchest friends in Congress. Senator Aiken said that he is "deeply concerned by press reports suggesting the Canadian govern- ment believes it has been put under undue pressure to accept nuclear arms from the United States... Canada is a great friend and neigh- bor. There is no reason why we should find ourselves at odds on any issue of significance." His sub- committee will explore "recent She Oshawa Times T. L.

The senator is a friend of Can- ada's, But he is also a Republican, and undoubtedly would not be en- tirely unhappy if he could show the Kennedy. administration in a poor light. He and some other moderate Republicans have already charged that Washington's clumsy handling of the Skybolt-Polaris affair led di- rectly to the de Gaulle's tough stand on Britain and the Common Market. The issue cannot be expected to have serious political repercussions in the United States, however. Too many Republicans take the stand that the Kennedy administration is not tough enough, either with the Communists or lagging allies. And certainly Senator Aiken needs to rise to the heights of political genius to make out a convincing case for the Canadian government's hand- ling of the nuclear weapons issue, Other Editors' Views NUCLEAR ARMS (Kitchener-Waterloo Record) Procrastination in the decision to adopt nuclear arms for Canadian forces has about reached its limit. The hour of decision is at hand and there is little doubt what the answer will be despite opposition parades and rallies opposed to the very thought. We can finally admit to the world that we are going to use nuclear warheads or we can call home the regiments from the frontier of the western empire and sulk in splendid solitude. LOOKS DIFFERENT FROM THIS END YOUR HEALTH All Facts Needed [9 For Sinus Advice > By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Please give me some information on how to stop sinus trouble. Many people have suggested an operation but I am reluctant because it sounds quite serious. My sinuses bother me only when I have a bad cold. Some relatives have suggested that I use salt water, snuffing it up my nose every morning. It seems to help. Is it possible for the sinuses to affect one's ears? This sounds like a lot of ad- vice without getting the facts. And advice without facts isn't worth much. I have some doubt in this in- stance whether it is true sinusl- tis, if it bothers you only when you have a bad cold. With a severe cold, the mem- branes of the nose and sinuses are inflamed and swollen, and this interferes with sinus drain- age. The sinuses can ache. But this doesn't call for an opera- tion. When the sinuses remain con- gested, and pus and constant drainage persist, that is another WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Peterborough Examiner: It is often said, with dubious accur- acy, that in the time of Ven- erable Bede a determined scholar could have grasped' alt the world's knowledge. Today, knowledge expands at such a rate that no army of men would be capable of memorizing it. Our heads are crammed from infancy with so many facts and impressions that there is a dan- ger there will be no room in our heads soon for creative thought and the application of: what knowledge we have. Why do we say this? Professor Paul Glees of Goettingen University in West Germany asserts that the nerve cells known as Nissl's granula store all our memories, Since the number of these cells is lim- itea, there is, Presumably, a limit to what we can stuff in our heads. We have to decide, in fact, what information to store and what.to discard. Professor Glees complains that school examimers, quiz show producers and many others put a premium on peo- ple who are walking encyclo- paedias without stopping to con- sider whether such people are able to apply their knowledge usefully and show ingenuity. Modern education, he says, should remember that in the last few centuries humanity has developed auxiliary memories-- books, films amd records. He suggests that the best student is the one who knows where to find the information he needs to solve a problem. He looks forward to the day when stu- dents will take reference books into the examination room and sit down to papers which exer- cise their minds instead of their memories, There is obviously much to be said for Professor Glees' opinion; unfortunately the only people in a position to imple- ment his suggestions have their heads so full of facts they have given up thinking. Welland Tribune: By commit- ting the Liberal Party to accept- ance of nuclear arms for the defence weapons that are use- less without them, Lester B. Pearson, the party's national leader has assured the govern- ment an easier time of it when the issue reaches the floor of the House. This, of course, is based on the expectation that the Govern- ment will move towards imple- mentation of whatever pledge has been made on nuclear parti- cipation on behalf of this coun- Prime Minister Diefenbaker's silence on the matter cannot continue much longer and while no one knows for certain the -- he will take, it may be 'ound that he will describe the Canadian policy and pledge as geared to a gradually evolving picture. If the prime minister has been in doubt as to how the House would react to nuclear club affiliation for Canada, Mr. Pearsan's declaration of Satur- day last has cleared up that point most effectively. The Liberal leader finally came through with a courage- ous decision after a long period of procrastination on the issue. He knew there would be opposi- tion within the party and it has already been given voice. He also ended a situation that has for a long time caused him a great deal of personal discom- fort, His inclinations as a real- ist have been in conflict with political expediency on the nu- clear question and it will be a great relief to him to mo longer have to hedge and proceed as warily on the subject. Mr. Pearson must have been assured that the political cli- mate in the country was favor- able towards the decision he announced on Saturday. His ex- pressed desire that Canada's foreign policy be '"'non-partisan to the greatest possible ex- tent" will find sympathy with many Canadians but will not be easily realized. The complexity of our political make-up is a stumbling block. Yet it must surely be evident that in these times we have to be in a clearly defined position in respect to defence arrangements, We may never again have the time to submit our policy in respect to aggression to debate or refer- ence, matter, and can be determined by examination and-or X-ray. As to "operations," different types are done, One is to straighten a bent or deviated septum of the nose, if bent so "it plugs one side of the nose, blocking both nasal and sinus drainage. Another is removal of polyps. if they are forming a lockage. (Polyps are more common in people with aller- gies.) Or there may be surgery on the sinuses proper, to re- move diseased membranes and aid drainage. So there's nothing gained in arguing over whether to "have an operation" until you know what, if anything, there is to do. Many so-called "sinus cases" are due to allergy or to constant irritation from fumes--and I de- liberately include tobacco fumes. Many a "sinus victim" has stopped smoking long enough to find that the "phiegm" and "'catarrh" and coughing disappear. No, sinuses do not directly af- fect the ears with the exception of a severe mastoid infection. However the same underlying factors--chronic irritation, infec- tion, etc.--can plug the Eusta- chian tubes and thus impair hearing. As to sniffing salt water, I can give you no more than a lukewarm answer on that, The nose harbors germs which are relatively innocent there, but can play havoc if drawn or forced into the sinuses, and this is a risk that I myself would rather not take, Dear Dr. Molner: My daughter, now 24, has been suf- fering for eight years with ec- zema of the ears. They are red and swollen inside and out and always "running" or discharg- ing. Often the rims of her eyes are red. Can you tell me what causes this chronic condition? Is it an a'lergy?--Mrs, E.L. It could be allergy or infec- tion but the chronicity suggests the latter, with a probability of a fungus infection. Such fungus infections have a nasty habit. of being complicated by infections from other germs, making the condition st mn to treat. Spe- cial laboratory cultures often are used in an effort to deter- mine what the original cause is, and what others may have ap- peared later. BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Oshawa Junior Chamber of Commerce officially came into being when S. Krantz, president of Region No. 5, addressed the dinner meeting and presented the charter to Mel Jolley, presi- dent of the local onganization. More than $11,000 was raised for the proposed new parish hall of St. George's Anglican Church. Miss Glenna Wilson was awarded a silver cup for public speaking on alcohol education topics at a meeting of the On- tario Temperance Federation. Judge D. B. Coleman was re- elected chairman of the Oshawa Police Commission for the 13th consecutive year. A young roller canary ent of Ted Tyers of Oshawa tied for first place in the Dominion Bird Contest at the International Grand Championships held in Toronto. Mrs. F, N. McCallum was re- elected president of the Wom- ord Welfare League for a fifth rm, Omitting parking meter viola- tions in the city, the number of persons charged during 1947 was 1587, as compared with 1838 in 196 and 1847 in 1945, A new comprehensive group insurance plan was scheduled to go into effect for GM employ- ees, Ernest L, Chapman, of Pick- ering, was elected president of the South Ontario Agricultural Society, to succeed Norman Down, who held the office for five years. A one-cent increase was an- nounced in the price of bread here to 14 cents a 24-ounce loaf. Oshawa General Hospital School of Nursing received its largest class of new nurses, as 27 students received their caps after five months of prelimin- ary training. Mrs. H. B. James, vice-president of the Women's Hospital Auxiliary conducted the ceremony. Expanded club activities brought an over-all attendance of 35350 at Simcoe Hall for the ry year. This included the attend- ance at the branch of the Pub- lic Library there, which had a circulation of 2427. By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Reginald Maud. ling, chancellor of the ex- chequer, has had presented to him a blue-print of how Britain can expand her economy and in- crease industrial production by four per cent every year, but this blue-print points out that this expansion is dependent on whether he speeds up his own expansion policies to encourage private investment. This report is the first major analysis prepared by the ex. rts of the National Economic velopment Council -- popu- larly known as Neddy -- in con- junction with its director. neral, Sir Robert Shone. In it, ir Robert makes clear what is involved if the nation is to suc- ceed in stepping up its output by the level which is believed to be possible. The four per cent cited in the report is nearly double the present annual rate of increase, MASSIVE PLAN The plan for organized in. creased production and econom. ic development was originally intended to cover the, years from 1961 to 1966, so there will have to be a massive attack on the problems involved from' now onwards to complete it by the end of the year 1967, but the ' final conclusion of Sir Robert Shone and his team of experts is that although the task ahead of the country is a formidable one, it is by no means impos- sible. The report points out, in the first place, that some of the most important industries, like cars and steel, which at present have spare productive capacity, could very readily meet a large increase in demand for their prodacts, In some other industries, such as chemicals and electricity, it would be found much more dif. ficult to meet an extra demand of four per cent each year, This is because of the long time which it takes to build new plans for such industries, NEED SKILLED MEN In all, 17 different groups of industries were investigated by the Neddy team of experts; Most of them believe that they can meet the target of an annual four per cent increase on one condition, That is on condition that they can secure a suffic. jent supply of skilled manpower. The experts have figured that in the next five years there will be considerable changes in em- phasis from the present pattern of expenditures, Consumers' ex- penditures, for example, are estimated to increase by 3.5 per cent. This is less than the in- crease in the national product, GALLUP POLL Humanity And Realism Reasons For 1 (World Consign Reserved) 'THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Humanity and realism char. acterize the reasons why about six in ten Canadians endorse our sales of food and whea to Communist countries.
