Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1963---PAGE 6 Appeasement Poor Way Of Handling de Gaulle It is curious that Quebec nation- alism's biggest threat to Canadian unity comes at a time when French nationalism -- or rather, de Gaulle's interpretation of it -- threatens Atlantic unity. For the Atlantic Alliance, led with surprising patience by the United States, the greatest problem is presented by de Gauule's firm intent to go his own way without rejecting the pro- tective umbrella of American nuc- lear superiority, It is well-nigh inconceivable that the French should ever be ranged actively against either the United States or the wider com- munity which that country leads, the Christian Science Monitor comments. But to think that the building of interdependence within that community automatically makes its members. proteges -- which is apparently the conviction of President de Gaulle -- is a mistake. The Monitor continues: "The Atlantic alliance without France, which is to such an extent the geographical gateway to the Crusade By Six years ago when the tradi- tional Hallowe'en frolic widened to include UNICEF collections some protests were voiced. "Don't rob the youngsters of Hallowe'en fun. It's their night!" Fun-loving youngsters were un- moved by this adult reaction. Hal- lowe'en is still their night -- but they have made it also a night for children around the world. Over the years Canadian youngsters have Jearned and enjoyed the privilege of sharing with their friends. Thrqugh education in schools and libraries they know that their help with UNICEF Hallowe'en pennies is needed. Hence their pride in collect- ing for UNICEF equals the joyous acceptance of jelly beans and candy kisses. Cass Taken Attorney-General Cass made a speech in Kingston the other day, and soon thereafter was taken to task by the city's newspaper, the Whig-Standard. He was quoted as saying, "We have wonderful highways in On- tario that will allow a driver to travel even in excess of the speed limit." The Kingston paper points out, with reason, that it would have been more to the point if Mr. Cass had made it clear that speed limits were set to be enforced and obeyed; "as it is this statement leaves the impression that speeding -- at least on the newer highways -- is ac- ceptable." The Whig-Standard goe: on in this vein: : Mr. Cass went on to discuss cer- tain driving offences and touched on a point which has been explored in these columns many times in the past. It was his opinion that, say impaired driving cases can be very difficult for the law and the courts because the public doesn't think of them as criminal offences. How can the public be expected to view the more serious traffic offences as She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

It is therefore in the interest of all free peoples that France should remain within it, and that Washington should direct its poli- cies to that end. But it would be unwise to believe the way to do this is to appease General de Gaulle. Every indication is that ap- peasement of him in his separatist course would encourage him fur- ther to be embarrassingly intransi- geant in the face of greater inter- allied co-operation. "The sound policy for Washington is to realize that General de Gaulle is likely to keep to his sometimes lonely course, and that he has to be lived with so long as he is Presi- dent of the French Republic. On the other hand, any move by Washing- ton openly to rebuff or humiliate him would be almost certainly counter-productive. Should he visit Washington next year, he can count on being welcomed for the great man that he is -- but he must ex- pect plain speaking from his hosts." Children Last Hallowe'en Canadian weath- er was as variable as today's poli- tical climate. Rain fell in the At- lantic Provinces in Quebec and British Columbia; It was a clear lovely night on the Prairies and in 'Ontario. Regardless of weather, ap- proximately 400,000 fantastically costumed youngsters saillied forth with paper bags for treats and UNICEF collection boxes. Neigh- bors were generous; in the bags youngsters' brought home candy, cookies and apples. In the UNICEF collection boxes was almost $400,- 000 in pennies, nickels and dimes -- this for the world-wide humanitar- ian work of UNICEF. UNICEF is a crusade by children for children. Let's not dampen the ardour of youthful unselfish giving. Today's world needs it. To Task criminal acts when so many courts fail to do so? The fault is clearly that of the law enforcement agen- cies and not of the public. : Finally, Mr. Cass said he "would hope that magistrates around On- tario would take into account the nature of the offence and the man's previous record before passing sen- tence on driving offenders". Well, we had hoped, in turn, that Mr. Cass would. have had something more positive to offer than a mere expression of hope -- perhaps di- rection to the magistrates. There is an urgent requirement for such direction particularly with regard to more severity in dealing with traffic offenders and consis- tency in the magistrates' attitudes toward punishment. Other Editors' Views TREES AND C.M.H.C. (Port Arthur News-Chronicle) During the. past years many Canadians who have bought new homes have had reason to wish that Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation would take a stand on trees similar to that of its Am- erican counterpart, the Federal Housing Authority. Under the F.H.A.'s rules, to qua- lify for a loan a builder must equip every house he puts up with.a least one tree. Modern houses are efficient and comfortable but there is no reason why the purchasers should have to wait five to 10 years to get them looking like homes.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON Football pool gambling in Britain is on the de- cline. In the last two seasons, the amount which British poo] en- thusiasts gambled on the res- ults of soccer football matches has declined by over $90. million. From a peak of $312 million of football pool stakes in the sea- son of 1960-1961, the amount has dropped $213 million in the 1962 1963 season. And this decline in betting on football has taken place in spite of the fact that in 1962, over $300 million more was spent on all forms of gam- bling than in the previous year. YOUR HEALTH A survey of the trends in bet- ting and gambling in Britain, made by the Daily Telegraph, shows that while the takings of the football pools declined sharp- ly, betting shop business increa- sed sharply, while fixed odds football betting and bingo com- bined with horse race betting ac- counted for most of the increas- es in the total amount spent on all forms of gambling. WEATHER BLAMED While the take of the football pools was down to $213 million, 15 per cent below the figure for the previous year and 33 per cent below 1960-1961, there may have been ong*§bod reason for Anesthesia Facets Worrying Patient By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Please write a column on anesthesia. Some of my friends and I feel it so much we refuse to have necessary surgery. 1 do not worry about anything I under- stand, but the patient rarely sees the anesthetist. I had sur- gery recently, and was not pre- pared for the anesthetic and its. effect. Unless I understand it, I would never again consent to surgery. Here are my specific questions . . . --MRS. E.W.H. It will take three columns to answer your umerous ques- tions. Anesthesiology, one just a matter of "giving ether," has become an intricate science. Many anesthetics, and any drugs in conjunction with 'hem, are now used, with the amounts and proportions modified to fit each case. In many hospitals the usual practice is for the surgeon and anesthesiologist to discuss the patient and operation in ad- vance, and the type of anesthe- tic. The anesthesiologist, particu- larly in a major operation, vis- its the patient the day or eve- ning before the operation, He studies the medical chart and tries to assure the patient. This, I am sure, is a good thing to do. I don't say that it would be wise for the anesthe- siologist (nor economical for the patient!) to spend a lot of time explaining all the possibil- ities, But a general outline of what is to be done is helpful to the patient. And now I'll start with your list of questions--and my an- swers: Q. Why is an enema given as part of the preparation even when, as in my case, the opera- tion is not internal? Mine was orthopedic surgery on the lower extremities. A. It's a good idea to clean out the colon, since loss of con- trol of the bowel can occur' un- der anesthesia. It's not just a matter of convenience for doc- tors and nurses. It is to save the patient the ordeal of having to be cleaned. up afterward, right a'ter the stress of surgery. Q. What is the presurgery "hypo" supposed to do and why did it not cause drowsinéss, but only dizziness when I was lying flat? A. This is to lessen the pa- tient's anxiety on the way to. the operating room and to rre- duce the excitement phase which is normal in the early stages of anesthesia. Like nearly all drugs, this can have slightly different effects on dif- ferent people, accounting for the dizziness in your case, It doesn't usually cause that. Q. What is the "relaxant" that is given intravenously, and is it in itself an anesthetic? A. No, it isn't an anesthetic: It relaxes the muscles and re- duces the possibility of giving a deep anesthetic. Several types of relaxants are used, They re- lax tension and this is neces- sary for accurate surgery. More of Mrs. E.W.H.'s ques- tions tomorrow. Dear Dr. Molner: Is it all right to eat a chunk of lettuce without washing it? -- MRS. H. W. Always wash fruits and vege- tables if you eat them raw. In fact, wash them first even if you cook them, This will give you added safety. Never pass up a chance of being safe. safe. Don't you agree? Dear Dr. Molner: Would as- pirin tablets be considered bar- biturates? Could they cause purpura?--MRS. M. S. Aspirin is not a barbiturate. It is a salicylate. Both can cause purpura in susceptible in- dividuals. camamamea ceaeae that, other than a drop in inter- est in the pools. During the long spell of 10 weeks of severe winter weather, when football. schedules were either wiped out or severely cur- tailed because of frozen and snow-covered grounds, the pools took a bad beating. Even with the introduction of a panel of ex- perts to estimate how matches would probably have resulted had they been played, people just stopped filling in their week- ly coupons during that period. oe ommcopiore-the- Second a ora w ar, the average Canadian rarely got Popular With Canadians OTTAWA (CP)--Ordinary Ca- nadians not only elect the fed- eral government; increasingly they're becoming one of its ma- jor creditors. Sometimes in the process they even get to be capitalists. These are two of the changes wrought by a decision made 17 years ago, in the aftermath of war, to give Canadians the op- portunity to continue their war- time habit of putting their sav- ings into government securities. The method, chosen in 1946, was through annual issues of Canada Savings Bonds. In the first few years the pub- lic's holdings of the new bonds grew slowly. By the end of 1952 they amounted to $1,250,000,000 --eight per cent of total federal bond debt. At the beginning of 1963, Ca- nadians had $4,620,000,000 tucked away in savings bonds. This was nearly 25 per cent of the gov- ernment's total bond debt. Vir- tually all of it was owed to in- dividuals--an estimated 2,000,- 000 Canadians--in contrast to the banks a corporations who hold most of the other forms of government bonds. 1962 WAS RECORD During the last decade, the annual two - month fall sales campaigns in October-Novem- ber have attracted an average $600,000,000 in new savings into savings bond investments. Last year this jumped to a record $819,000,000. How has all this affected in- dividual bond buyers? Officials in charge of bond sales have many stories of Ca- nadians who began with a cou- ple of hundred dollars worth of bonds and eventually built up a stake of several thousands-- enough to launch into anew role as landlords or operators of their own small businesses. There are stories of new Ca- nadians from central Europe who had been forced in their homelands to buy bonds but who, in their new land, happily seized the chance to invest vol- untarily in the effort to estab- lish themselves. However, officials see an even deeper significance for the econ- omy as a whole in the savings bond program. KEEP INTEREST DOWN The savings bonds, they say, have tapped an immense new source of savings that would not otherwise be available on the capital market. If these funds were not mobilized in this way, interest rates would be consid- erably higher as governments and other bond borrowers sought to raise money in a smaller capital market. Ontario Rehabilitation Facilities Suffer Gaps TORONTO (CP)--Many gaps exist in Ontario's rehabilitation facilities, says an article in the current issue of the Canadian Medcal Journal. The article by two Toronto doctors, C. M. Godfrey and A. T. Jousse, says that although rehabilitation is commonly re- ferred to as a new method of treatment, the fact is that it is not new. Rather, it is a concept governing the total care of the sick--from bed to job place- ment Rehabilitation means doing what needs to be done to get the patient functioning again, It is quite logical to assume) n : that oe of the $3~Nmillion dey/the article says. If there is a cline from the previ ye gap aywhere in the continuity was due to the postponed games treatment program the owing to weather conditions, In fact, the leading pools' promo- ters are quite frank in blaming their last season's loss in busi- ness on the weather, although the other factors mentioned also had their effects. The head of-age.of the large pool firms said: that while the decline was largely due to the weather, increased competitiori from other gambling fields also had their effect.;He pointed out that three years ago, bingo, betting shops, postal bingo and gaming clubs did not exist in Britain, as they came into being only after the passing of the 1961 licensing and betting legislation. People, he said, were sensible enough to use only a certain por- tion of their income for gamb- ling, and with the growth of other outlets, the pools income had suffered. TREASURY SUFFERS Among the sufferers from this decline in pools betting has been the government treasury dep- artment, The post office depart- ment estimates that its income from postage and- postal orders for the pools fell from over $39 million in 1960 to $27 million in 1962. During the peak year of 1960- 1961, the tax on football pool betting was around $93 million. Last season, the figure was down to $69 million. Another interesting theory is put forward for the decline in pools' betting. This is that the number of drawn matches each week seems to have increased sharply in the last two or three years, and this had reduced the amount of the dividends paid on eight draws. Some weeks ithe top dividend has not been worth f patient will tend to relapse--to fall between two areas of treat- men and become an invalid. NEED MORE STAFF In some areas, the article says, facilities are grouped too closely together, necessitating transport of patients from great distances, Also, there was a. great short- age of trained personnel and 'little provision for mentally ill patients in existing rehabilita- tion centres. The concept of rehabilitation embodies the belief that the physician charged with the care of a patient must assume re- sponsibility for his management through all phases of treatment essential to his well-being. This process begins with diag- nosis and leads to medical or surgical treatment. Evaluation of the reult of therapy may in certain instances indicate the need for a restoration program. The article states that al- though this duty is recognized by many practitioners, they are too often dismayed by the amount of time such manage- ment may take. "A patient with rheumatoid arthritis may require six months to recover from. an acute attack and another six months of restorative treatment in order that he ma ywork with his disabled hands." MUST FOLLOW UP Can he normally over-worked physician take responsibility for directing all aspects of this management? : "He not only can, but he must,"' say the two doctors. Too often, after the acute phase of illness has passed, there is a temptation to transfer winning, and the ch of a win of anythig from $300,000 to $750,000 are much more re- mote, due to the keener com- petition in the football leagues producing more draws. Still, the promoters are not doing so badly. With the stakes for the leading pools firms reaching a total of $213 million last year, the situation is still quite profitable for them.

General hospitals in Toronto, Hamilton, London, Windsor, Kingston and Ottawa have or- gaized departments of speech therapy and the Ontario Hos- pitals for the mentally ill also employ a staff of speech thera- pists. "Rehabilitation services are at present available on a scanty basis throughout the province," the article concludes. "In certain areas there are few or no facilities for physical restoration, speech therapy, job assessment, psychiatric care or provision of braces or artificial limbs. "Most centres are located in the larger cities but even in communities where the greatest number of rehabilitation serv- ices exist, they are barely ade- quate and there are waiting lists for admission." a chance to invest in federal bonds. Government bond issues were quickly snapped up by cor- porate investors. Even a single bond was in a denomination too large for the ordinary man. The war changed all this. There was, of course, a vast increase in federal bo; to finance the war effort. But there was also the economic neces- sity of freezing much of the dis- posable income in the hands of consumers in order to dampen upward pressures on prices, These were the reasons be- hind the wartime Victory bonds, fhe compulsory savings linked to income tax collections, and the war savings certificates that could be bought for $4--or up to $400--to yield $5 or $500 in 7% years. WANTED BY PUBLIC The post-war question for the government was whether Cana- dians wanted to continue this savings habit, and in what form. To get the answers, a survey-in- depth was carried out, with some 10,000 persons questioned in interviews lasting two hours or longer. The survey found a large lic demand for bonds saad be tapped. The choice was 15 to 1 in favor of a coupon bond, re- deemable at a fixed value, in gee et va -- secur- y similar to the war savings certificates. That was how Canada Savin Bonds began. 6 Since then, about four-fifths of the savings bonds have been sold for cash. But the largest Sales effort has gone into the payroll savings plan under which employees buy bonds through payroll deductions spread over the year. _Nine out of 10 large' corpora- tions provide facilities for this payr.ll plan. One in three of their employees, on the aver- age, signs up for a bond. The average purchase is $350. Last year a recor * 675,000 individu: bought bonds this way. " MOST HOLD BONDS Normally, total sales of any one year's savings bond issue greatly exceed the net amount of cash raised by the. govern- ment. This is because many peo- ple cash in older bonds to take advantage of better'terms of a new issue. This turnover of old bonds for new was especially notable in last year's issue, when total sales were a record $1,800,000,- 000, due in large part to the record high interest yield of 5.11 per cent over the 14-year life of the bonds. This year's issue of- fers 5.03 per cent over 12 years, There are no firm figures available on how many bonds are held to maturity and how many are cashed in order to make some purchase or meet some unexpected expense. At the end of August, 90 per cent of last year's bond issue was Still in the hands of. the savers. WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Christian Science Monitor: The chancellor of a new divi- sion 0° the University of Cali- fornia -- at Santa Cruz -- has some pungent ideas about col- lege cars and college romance. He thinks students should be given enough to do to assure that they will put education first. Dr. Dean .E. McHenry, the chancellor, does' not plan to ban either student-owned automo- biles or undergraduate mar- riages at the institution, soon to be opened. But neither does. he plan to encourage them. "We don't plan to provide parking spaces," he said, and there, wil! not be any university housing for married undergraduates. Both these topics can be sub- jects of endless argument. There are students for whom a car as transportation is the means of going to college while living at home or of working at a job without which college would he impossible. There are also stu- dents, too many, to whom a car is a plaything, a prestige item, a distraction from classes, and an invitation to tragedy on the highway. The growing length of univer- sity courses, the addition of graduate schools or professional schools to the baccalaur2ate base as a requisite for ad- vancement in many occupa- tions, has postponed marriage in many instances far beyond what used to be a normal age. In addition there is the factor 0° military service. Numbers of couples have found that a settled companionship gavé stability to later college years. . Indeed, some institutions have conferred mock degrees of "PhT" on college wives who worked to "put hubby through'"'. But Dr. McHenry cites numer- ous cases where such mar- riages have ended in divorce, with attendant feelings of injus- tice or disappointment, as part- ners grew apart in interests. Even with scheduled designed to keep pupils "studying and writing an extra five hours a day", the University of Califor- nia at Santa Cruz probably will find that it does not have all the answers, but it may help supply some of them. ' PORTLAND OREGONIAN: We are as much opposed to lit- ° ter as anybody. But we do wish a new organization, supported by industry and the governors of Oregon and Washington, had chosen a different name. The organization, formed to halt the growing menace of lit- ter in the northwest, is called CLEAN, It stands for Commit- tee for Litter Elimination Around the Northwest. Next to litter and some other menaces, such as the growing use of numbers instead of names and addresses, cute acro- nyms disturb us most. An acro- nym is a word, formed of the initial letters of the major parts of a compound term--"snarfu", for instance. One of the earliest examples of the twisting of words to ar- rive at a clear acronymn is WAVES. The army.was satis- fied with WAC, a simple, New Deal sort of alphabetical con- traction, to designate its female soldiers of World War II. But the navy had to go all out to arrive at WAVES. Any objec- tive person will agree that Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service is an ex- tremely awkward title for a de fence organization. Since the war a growing ten- dency toward cute alphabetical contractions has been obvious. Some work out pretty well, such as CARE. But it's time to draw the line, So far as we are con- cerned; CLEAN is the final straw. Unless there is a reversal of the trend, we will: be tempted to organize a People's League to Eliminate Acronyms and Similar Excrescences. We'll call it PLEASE!
