She Oshawa Fimes 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1963-----PAGE 6 'More Research Needed Most of the testimony being heard -by the parliamentary committee on pesticides stresses the invaluable contribution being made to agricul- 'ture and forestry by chemical com- pounds. But much of it has a de- fensive undertone, one witness even going so far as to say that "pesti- cide is now a dirty word" and sug- 'gesting that an educational cam- paign be launched to acquaint the public with the vitally important 'role of chemical compounds in pro- 'viding bigger and better crops of 'food and trees. ; It's doubtful if the defensive at- 'titude is justified; or that an edu- 'cational campaign is needed. Every gardener in Canada knows how the 'judicious use of pesticides can pro- tect his flowers and shrubs, how 'chemical compounds can promote growth. Most Canadians, we think, understand that chemicals must be 'returned to the soil and that grow- ing things need some protection from bugs. But very few Canadians know anything at all about the long-range effects of indiscriminate use of chemicals, or about alterna- tive methods of crop protection. That is not surprising, because there has been little scientific research into the ecological effects of the continued widespread use of chemi- cals in forestry and agriculture. Dr. Luther L. Terry, surgeon- general of the United States Public SO SSeS. ee a lal i th a Into Health Hazards Health Service, in a speech to the American Public Health Associa- tion last week, said that the insec- ticide DDT has invaded the water all around the globe since the 1940s; it has been found in fish oils from Japan and Iceland, in aquatic vege- tation and in wildlife north of the Arctic Circle. He said: "The point is that that we are living with chemicals and will con- tinue to live with them. We can- not reverse the tide even if we wished to do so. The effect on human beings of traces of chemi- cals or of low-level radiation in our environment are cumulative over long periods of time . . . We are just beginning to understand the health hazard that results from the gradual accumulation of minute quantities of chemicals from var- ious sources over a lifetime. Insec- ticides and pesticides wipe out the vectors of disease and bring more plentiful food crops, while simul- taneously creating health hazards which science is only beginning to identify." It's obvious that there are bene- fits in the use of the chemicals, These are well known. But it is just as obvious that there are dangers-- and these are not known. There is only one conclusion: The use of the chemicalsshould be tied to a far more intensive and extensive program of research into the effects of such use. A Matter Of Degree? There is no denying the fact that racial discrimination exists in Can- ada. It is there for everyone to see, "occasionally overt but more often subtle or superficially hidden under | »@ IpfOT' picts claptrap. At the same \ _-Aime, the laws of the land, and the .conscience of the community which "gives the laws force, do not permit 'discrimination and cannot be sub- 'verted by one race to persecute "another. The charge that the oniy "difference between, say, Ontario and : Alabama is one of degree, is wide of the mark, These facts should be 'considered: - Three whites and a Negro, ail -northerners, were jailed in Amer- -icus, Ga., following a civil rights demonstration. last August. They "were charged under an 1871 state 'law with insurrection, but it soon "became apparent that it would be a long time before they were tried, and they were not eligible for bail because they were accused of a capital offence. They could not be scheduled for trial until the last week of May. Local authorities were making things difficult for them in an effort to get the four to agree to leave the state and not come back. It took a federal court order to free them, the court declaring the 1871 law unconstitu- tional. A Virginia law makes it illegal to conspire to push Negroes into "acts of violence and war" against whites. In Danville 14 civil rights demonstrators were arrested under the law, put on the books on slavery days. A white Congregational minister and two Negroes are serving 18 month jail terms in Atlanta, Ga., for trying to enter a Baptist church to attend services. The law they violated prohibits interrupting "in any manner a congregation law- fully assembled for divine worship." Louisiana has a law against criminal anarchy. Two men visited a jailed civil.rights demonstrator and have been charged under the law, their anarchy consisting of bring- ing the prisoner a copy of "The Ugly American" to read. A matter of degree, indeed! Tests In Re-Training "And they learned about train- ing by training," might be the theme scng for a report made in a recent press conference at the University of Chicago, the Christian Science Monitor suggests. In the report Dean George P, Schultz and Prof. Arnold R. Weber of the Business School related ex- perience with the automation fund set up by Armour & Co. and two unions, the packinghouse workers and the meat cutters. She Oshawa Zines T. L.

PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Another problem many of us have these days: If we worry about the price of food while we're eating, we get indiges- tion; if we don't worry, we eat more than we can afford. Considerable tax money comes from burners -- those who burn tobacco, gasoline, and their insides. iad YOUR HEALTH Diabetes Checks Are Worthwhile By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I am a matried woman, 31 years old, and have been told diabetes is hereditary, I probably worry too much about this because my grandmother (on my mother's side) and my mother are dia- betic. My father's mother died in diabetic coma and his aunt died from gangrene, What are the chances that I may become diabetic and how often should I be checked for it? I've asked my doctor for an examination once a year but he seems to think I am becoming too concerned about this, and doesn't think I need the tests unless I show some signs of dia- betes.--MRS. M. Heredity plays a strong role in diabetes and, with a history of the disease on both sides of your family, you have a strong chance of developing it. This doesn't mean you will, but you ought to be careful. Your doctor and I may not agree. I've seen too many in- stances in which family history was disregarded, and diabetes finally was detected later than it should have been. Here are some other things to watch out for: .. Are you overweight? If so ree duce. This is extremely impor- tant. , Have you had any miscar- riages or stillbirths? Have you had any large ba- bies? Over 8% pounds at birth? Have any babies died shortly after birth? All of these are signs which point to the likelihood of dia- betes appearing after a time. The chemical tests -- urine, and blood for sugar--are the surestways of detecting diabe- TODAY IN _ HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 19, 1963... The Riel Rebellion broke out 94 years ago' today--in 1863--when Louis Rie] and his Metis followers captured Fort Garry (Winnipeg). He subsequently became presi- dent. of a provisional gov- ernment which hegotiated for the entry of Assiniboia into the Canadian federation as the province of Mani- ivva. His participation in the second uprising, in 1885, led to a treason conviction and execution. 1858--The colony of Brit- ish Columbia was formally declared. 1863 -- Abraham Lincoln delivered the immortal Get- tysburg Address. uf GIFTS BY BOURJOIS Perfumes and Colognes $1 to $6.00 Gift sets from $1.75 to $5.00 tes. They discover it early. If you wait until other signs be- come apparent, then the disease gets a head start. When you provide urine for testing, don't depend only on a sample taken the first thing in the morning. Take one about two hours after your main meal of the day, That is more likely to show sugar, if any is present, than the early-morning or '"'fast- ing' specimen. A blood sugar test two hours after a large meal likewise is more revealing than one before breakfast, A sugar tolerance test (blood test) is even more accurate. Detect diabetes early, and you can keep it controlled. Ignore it too long--and you know some of the things that can result. So play sa'e. In your case, Mrs. M., I would have a perio- dic checkup at least once a year. That should give you ade- quate time to contro] diabetes if it. starts. Don't wait for the later symp- toms--such as: increased thirst, frequent urination and so on. OTTAWA REPORT 'Area Aid Program Needs Imagination 'By PATRICK NICHOLSON on Parliament Hill "have been expected OTTAWA--The economic ad- made three versity of Canada's underde- veloped areas deserves more ef- fective policies by Ottawa. Now, © @s for 10 yars past, the rich communities grow richer while the poor waste away. The present policy is--predic- tably for a cabinet dominated by former bureaucrats--to rely on blind dragooning by a bur- eaucracy guided by crude sta-- tistics. Two months ago, the Pearson government announced special measures of federal assistance for economic or industrial de- velopment in areas suffering high levels of unemployment and slow rates of government listed 35 such areas eligible for this assistance. The Maritimes districts on the Prairies might to figure largely in such a list, But in fact neither P.E.I. nor Saskat- chewan appear at all, while no less than 23 of the 35 areas to be helped are in our two big prosperous central provinces. Rightly included in these are the long-neglected Ontario com- munities of Cornwall, Timmins, Pembroke, Elliot Lake and Chatham. FIGHTS INJUSTICE But the first area to benefit under these new measures is well-to<io Brantford, in the sec- ondary industrial area lying just southwest of Ontario's "Golden Horseshoe." Alf Hales, Conservative MP from Guelph, has spearheaded are such comparab! Galt, gE gay pe Preston, Hes- » Woodst Kitchener, aterloo and Stratford. Yet these, as Alf Hales points out, are excluded from assistance, Why?- Because the ° "statis- tics" make out Brantford to be a centre of low loyment and poor wages. Yet Brantford , according to other govern- ment statistics, more well-paid workers than any of those other The communities. Last year it had and certain © earning an average of $4,232; Galt had 10,168 earning $4,007. Faraway Cornwall, compar- ison, had 10,582: ea: $4,005. As Alf Hales so aptly com- mented in the House, there are lies, damned lies and statistics. Brantford is primarily an agri- cultural manufacturing city; this industry is very busy throughout fall, winter and spring, producing farm machin- ery for summer use. Then some workers are laid off in the slack midsummer. But the criterion chosen by the government for assessing a community's need is whether it is classified as a "labor surplus area" for three of the six summer months, Hence the sta- egcee pe $s Re b vasion of Parliament delegation of 12 mayors, reeves and businessmen from the , keep up the © you are on the track, and they are wrong." TURKEY MENU ° EDMONTON (CP) -- R. H. McMillan, Alberta poultry com- missioner, says changes in tur- key handling methods have re- sulted in turkey halves, ne ters, steaks, patties, s rolis, pies, loaves and omel products. the resultant justified criticism Over 65? $200 a month can be yours for life! No pipe-dream this--but the guaranteed reality of a Manufacturers Life Annuity. Whether you live for five years or twenty-five or more, you'll get a cheque for $200 every month. Let's face it--you've put in a lot of hard work over the past forty years or so. Your retirement years are your reward. The finest way to enjoy your retirement is to have a steady, worry-free income. The best way toachievethisisto buy a Manufacturers Life Annuity. You hand over to Manufacturers Life the worry and risk of maintaining an income. Through the annuity arrangement your capital and the interest it earns are "'scientifically" combined to give you a guaranteed income for the rest of your life. How much does an annuity cost? It depends on the income you need to carry out your dreams and plans for those years after 65. For example, the lifetime monthly income of $200 we were talking about would. cost a man of 65 only $24,000. It's well worth looking into. The Man from Manufacturers has all the details.
