he Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Difference Of Opinion 'On Taking Of Evidence ~ Before the revised Bill 99 -- the' "police state bill" that led to the resignation of Fred Cass as attor- ney-general -- was cleared by the legal bills committee of the Legis- 'Iature this week, one provision was vigorously debated. This provides Witnesses called by the Ontario Police Commission with all known legal safeguards and allows the witness himself to decide whether he wants to testify in secret. NDP Leader Donald C. Mac- Donald argued that the Police Com- mission should have the right to gay whether hearings would be held openly or in camera. He pointed out that every conceivable step had been taken to protect the rights of witnesses, and therefore there was Bo reason why the commission should not' decide on open or secret seasions. He suspected that per- tons with knowledge of organized crime might demand open hear- ings so that their testimony would be transmitted back to their cohorts, tipping them off about the commis- sion's investigation. Mr. MacDonald's argument got support from Attorney - General Wishart, who said the commission tight. be better armed in the case of a reluctant witness -- one who 'was supposed to appear rather than one who came forward voluntarily --if it could demand that this tes- timony be taken in secret. The committee voted against the MacDonald argument, however -- and we think rightly so. Law en- forcement means the prevention and discouragement of crime, as well as the capture and punishment of criminals. If questioning of a witness by the Ontario Police Com- mission prevents or discourages the ungodly, the act of questioning it- self is valuable, particularly if it is openly known and not peddled as a rumor. Nor is it likely that the secret questioning would long re- main a secret to highly-organized criminal groups. And finally, the appearance of justice is essential to justice itself. Fire's Terrible Toll Last year in Ontario, 209 persons were killed by fire, 71 of them chil- dren; 699 people were injured by fire, 81 of them children. In the first three months of this year, 66 people were killed by fire, 28 of them children, and 107 were in- jured. The cost of property damage by fire last year in Ontario was $9 million above the previous five- year average. The tragic thing about these grim figures is that most of the terrible loss was due to human carelessness, atupidity or avarice. In his annual report, Fire Marshal Martin §&. Hurst reported: "Figures on fire losses show that much remains to be done in the field of public education in order to reduce the terrible loss of lives and property caused by human careless- ness and negligence. It is my hope that the public will soon recognize the obligations of every mature person to eliminate the dangers of fire in the careless handling of cigarettes, matches, electricity, heating facilities and petroleum products." That was a sober, restrained sta- tement, but some of the urgency felt by the firefighters comes through in other comment in the report, For example: . "Despite the intensified fire pre- vention efforts by the Fire Service and other groups, our record for last year shows that even greater pressure must be exerted in this never-ending war against fire out of control. What groups are being missed? Where else can we press the attack to reduce this costly growth? Is our public education reaching all people -- not just those who want to listen and follow our advice, but those perhaps so pre- occupied by daily pressure that they drop their guard for an instant, allowing the large fire to get its small start?" The fire fighters do a fine job of public education, The trouble is that too many people don't think they need to learn anything until it's too late. More Camping Sites It wouldn't be surprising to see renewed efforts by mining interests to remove the ban on prospecting and mine development work in pro- vincial parks, in the wake of the big copper strike near Timmins. Those efforts, if' they come -- and they undoubtedly will -- must be repulsed as stoutly as they have been in the past. The provincial government, hap- pily, is going ahead vigorously with its program of park development. Lands and Forests Minister Kelso Roberts announced just the other day that it is expected there will be two thousand new campsites in provincial parks this year; some of them will be ready for the opening of the parks season in May. There were 14,500 campsites in operation in the parks in 1963, and this year's total is expected to reach 16,500. The Oshawa Times C.

There were 840,000 campers last year, and each year has seen a spectacular increase. It is estimated that 320,000 overnight camping permits will be issued this year, an increase of 21,- 000 over last year. The total capa- city of organized sites for over- night campers in the parks this year will be approximately 62,000, to be increased next year to 66,000. The camp sites are well organized and well managed. The lands and forests department has been wise to provide water and sanitation facilities, but to avoid the more luxurious trappings of civilization-- the stoves, laundry rooms and so on, that strike a jarring note in some of the parks in other jurisdictions, and give some substance to the complaints of tourist resort opera- tors that governments are subsidiz- ing vacationers who quite fre- quently are not even taxpayers.

TULIP TIME IN OTTAWA REPORT FROM U.K. Prime Ministers To Lose Privacy By M. McINTYRE HOQD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON--An ambitious pro- ject i: being undertaken by the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts. The chairman is Lord Denning, Master of the Rolls, whose inquiry last year into the Profumo affair exam- ined the private lives of present- day political figures. The project, over which Lord Denning will preside, is to pub- lish the private papers, includ- ing love leters, of ail of the 19th century prime ministers of Brit- ain. The publication will cover 21 prime ministers, starting with William Pitt the Younger and finishing with Lord Rosé? bery. When completed, it will provide a unique insight into the way of life in British political circles for the whole period of 100. years. Lord Denning has some very strong ideas on the scope of this project of the commission. The documents which are to be pub- lished will include private and personal material from family archives as well as secret state papers. Lord Denning made it plain in a statement announc- ing the project that the com- mission would not shrink from publication if it unearthed any skeletons that could have led to Profyumo - type inquiries had they come to light at the time. The-aim, he said was to give a complete and accurate picture of the man as well as the statesmen, the private life and personality behind the public image. It would cover the man' 's treated, so long as it happened long enough ago. We would not publish anything that would re- flect on descendants living to- day, but otherwise I would be against any expurgation, The picture should be accurate, and I am all in favor of making it of interest to modern readers. If 'YOUR HEALTH any love letters turn up, I hope the more interesting ones will be published -- but let us hope they don't." The Commission, however, is ; looking forward to having full co-operation from the owners of papers from which it could ac- quire material. But it is quite prepared to find that some may not be willing to give unrestrict- ed access to their archives. Completion of the project will, it is anticipated, take several years. Each prime minister will have a separate volume giving a selection of documents with an introduction. The books will be published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office, Calcium Affected By Hormone Change By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I have had a backache on several occasions and recently had it x - rayed. This showed a bone thinning. How does it occur and what treatment is there?--Mrs. C.M. There is a term which can be applied to osteoporosis, and I assume that to be the case here, In ordinary health, calcium is constantly being removed from the bones and immedi- ately replaced. But sometimes our metabol- ism is disturbed, and the cal cium is not replaced quite as rapidly as it is being with- drawn, The bones become. less dense and solid. Likewise the marrow portion can become, larger as the walls become somewhat thinner. This is discovered more often family, property, surr and loye affairs as well as poli- tical activities. STUMBLING. BLOCK There is, however, one stumb- ling-block which may prevent the disclosures in these publica- tions from being as complete as Lord Denning would like. The work of the commission may be obstructed by descendants of some of the 21 prime ministers of the 19th century, who object to the disclosure of too personal secrets. In reply to this, Lord Denning said: "If we find anything discredit- able, I hope it will be fairly in n well past menopause, and it is due to changes occur- ring in the hormones. As the bones. become less dense they are more subject to being altered by pressure. There is, naturally, less resis- tance to fractures, too. While osteoporosis can affect all of the bones, it is more jg | to produce symptoms in the back, the spine being such a closely-fitted series of bones. Treatment consists of hor- mones to bring the endocrine system back into balance, and diet high in protein and Vita- min C. A reasonable amount of exercise also is important, for bones (like other parts of the BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO April 30, 1934 Mrs. B. C. Célpus, member of the Board of Education, opened the Canadian School of Home Science held in the Regent Theatre. The Whitby Women's Insti- tute, second oldest branch in Canada, celebrated its 35th an- niversary. The cantata entitled "The Easter Victory" was repeated in St. Andrew's United Church. Solos were taken by Mrs. Jack Reid, Mrs. Grant Berry and Jack Reid. The Regent Theatre was fill- ed to overflowing for a cooking school held under the au- spices of The Oshawa Daily Times. A. W. "Army" Armstrong, men's champion of the Oshawa Tennis Club, was named presi- dent for the ensuing year. Rev. A. L. Fleming, Bishop of the Arctic, was speaker at a meeting o the Oshawa Anglers' Club. Oshawa Tennis Club organ- ized a junior séction under the chairmanship of E, Fishleigh. .A campaign was inaugurated \ to enroll:400 members or more in the newly formed Oshawa Branch of the Victorian Order of Nurses. Oshawa Rebekah Lodge No. 3, celebrated its 53rd anniversary. A four-act comedy 'Where There's a Will" written and directed by M. McIntyre Hood was presented by St. Andrew's United Church Young People's Union. W. M. Gilbert was elected president of. the Oshawa Cham- ber of Commerce for the ensu- ing year. Col. B. J.

The sheer lack of use lets them weaken, Dear Dr. Molner: When I met my husband's grandfather, he related that he had been in a tuberculosis sanatorium twice and both times he had left with- out the doctor's permission. I was mildly horrified and quietly wondered about the dan- ger he was subjecting his fam- ily to. Nobody seemed alarmed; though, so I kept my silence. Now we have a child and we shall soon have a chance to visit the grandfather, as my husband is anxious to show off the baby, but I am terrified. I've told my husband I don't want to take our child into all this, but he believes I am mak- ing too much of it, Please ad- vise us, as neither of us wants to endanger the baby's health.-- Mrs. G.W. You are right. I'm horrified, too, and not so mildly. That's how tuberculosis is spread--mostly by people who have the disease but don't know. And sometimes (a terrible thought) by people who are selfish enough to f° ao out among other people without making sure they are free of the germs. I would not take a baby into such a household until you are sure that not only the grand- father but everyone else in the family is not in the infectious stage. I suppose the old man will assure that he "knows" that he isn't carrying the germ. He doesn't know. He can't know. For if he was well enough to leave the sanatorium the first time, why did he have to go in a second time? Stick to your guns for the baby's sake and in- sist *. medical proof of free- dom from TB. But somehow the Veterans catch tainly no farmhouses, no barns --not even ruins. But there are two prospec- mond drilling rigs. News of the mineral there, notably in Kidd Township quickly drew in prospectors.

The session has done little to- wards long-term solutions of our water problems. Some emergency measures to meet drought were brought down. One of these will provide a subsidy of up to $500 towards farm ponds Others will encourage munici- Palities to build more reservoirs and to supply emergency water $22, in drought areas. But the long-term problem of supply is still only down for study. The department of energy and resources announced that this study would be undertaken. But ne details have been given . . . such as when we might expect to know what we The situation of the lakes is growing critical, Not only because of levels but also because of growing pollu- tion. TAX GAINS The new tax concessions from Ottawa are no great bonanza but they are a comfortable gain. In the coming year they will mean only a few million dol- lars. In 1965, however, they will mean another $22,000,000 and the Pry? after that a further ,000, This could mean that the in- crease in debt could be kept un- der $100,000,000 in each of these years. Permanent solutions, however are still to come. And on these- the big hope is the federal-pro- vincial study that is being un- dertaken, There is now real hope it may produce results. i i ied i i 3 step iH deg, : le i I i re Hi "Sleep is a form of intoxica- tion," says a .

The very important question of water levels on the Great Lakes got a little attention, but that was all. -The low levels on the lakes are worrying a great many peo- ple in the province, of course. The government took the po- sition of the federal govern- ment. In one pertinent comment, Liberal Elmer Sopha noted that the Canadian boundaries of all of the Great Lakes are in On- tario. As a lawyer, he felt the prov- ince probably did have some constitutional responsibility. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 30, 1 SS Maj.-Gen.
