Safety re- ' search projects have indicated time wand again that there are clear me- (dical aspects to many traffic situ- jations; it has been argued, with itmuch buttressing evidence, that 'the emotional and physical condi- || tion of drivers is a major factor. i} Now the Canadian Medical Asso- 'Yciation Journal says Canadian doc- 'tors could help prevent 150 annual "traffic deaths and injuries to 4,000 other motorists by keeping medical- hy unfit drivers off the highways. An article in this month's edition of {the Journal quotes Dr. Norman Wil- iMiams, director of occupational '*health for Saskatchewan, as saying: "Physicians can be faced with a jgrave conflict of loyalties. Their (first duty is to their patient, but sthey have a duty to society not to ifsubject its members to a risk which iithey are not prepared to accept. is it is not uncommon for several if tk 'Research In 1! The federal government has ap- inted Professor F. A. Forward as ithe first head of a scientific secre- jtariat to be attached to the Privy ; Council. Thus a hopeful start is |made to make up the frightening jag in scientific research in Canada. 'How much of a lag there it was lloutlined in a recent speech by G. F. "Plummer, president of Dunlop of 'Canada Lid. He pointed out to the Chemical 'Institute of Canada that while the '(United States spends about 2.8 per t and Britain 2.4 per cent of gross al product on research and de- f it, Canada spends less than } .9 per cent. This means that the brains of our men of science and the natural resources of our land are not being properly exploited; it means lack of Canadian invention Sand design for our own use and for spxport. ' Part of the difference can be at- @tributed to defence spending. Can- ada buys weapons from others, rather than developing them here. 'Then there is a "brain drain" to the nited States, partly because of higher salaries there and partly be- fatalities to occur even in private car accidents, the dilemma confron- ting the family doctor is all too evident." We suggest too much is being made of that dilemma, and the duty of the doctor is obvious, since the interest of the patient and the interest of society are identical in this case -- protection of the individual and other drivers from death or injury on the road. A friend of ours suffered a stroke some months ago. As he regained 'some measure of health and strength, his doctor advised him to "take things easy" to lessen chances of another stroke, and why didn't he take a nice, leisurely motor trip? One can only be charitable and sug- gest that the doctor was absent- mindedly indulging in a bit of nos- talgia. Traffic on most roads these days is calculated to induce a stroke, not prevent one. Doctors are required to report certain dangerous diseases. Surely unfitness to drive an automobile is as dangerous a disease as there is in Canada these days. Canada cause of lack of challenging re- search projects and of facilities in Canada. Last year 894 engineers, 467 physicians and surgeons, 115 university professors and instruc- tors and 148 other scientists left for the U.S. These are Mr. Plummer's sugges- tions: "We should decide as a national policy, announced and encouraged by government attitude and action, that say one and one-half per cent of our gross national product be al- located to research and develop- ment. The proportion is realistic and attainable . . . The program must inevitably be planned and imple- mented over several years." Government's "approach to in- dustry should be on a personal basis; to the chief executive of large corporations, emphasizing the responsibility of good corporate citizens in creating or expanding their research facilities in Canada." "There should be machinery to permit a co-operative research pro- gram on an industry by industry basis, encouraged and subsidized by government."

There does appear to be a gap in the knowledge on private welfare agencies and the various fund-raising activities for charity. This is where there is a need for a study such as might be undertaken by a royal commission. One of 'the most discouraging features of welfare work at the local level is the failure of many chari- table appeals to reach their financial objectives. Another is the necessity of resorting to violation of the law on lotteries to raise funds for chari- \ table purposes. The Provincial Council of Women deserves,.support in its request for a royal commission to examine. the whole welfare structure in the pro- vince.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON --lIt i8 ironical to find in this crowded country, where there are still many thousands of people homeless and living in council-operated hostels, that efforts of kindly- disposed wealthy citizens to ease this situation are often frustrated by objections to their humanitarian plans, A striking case of this has developed in the Surrey countryside at Long- cross, near Chertsey. In that area, plans were being developed by a wealthy real estate owner, Lewis Zimbler, for the building of a garden vil- lage to house 3,000 families and old people in the wooded grounds of his home there. But Mr. Zimbler's plans, which would have provided homes at well below current market prices, have met with a setback at the outset. The Chertsey Urban Council has recommend- ed to the county council that the planning application for these homes, to be offered to home- less people, be refused because the development is in the Metro- politan Green Belt. PECULIAR THINKING Mr. Zimbler looks on this as peculiar thinking on the part of the urban council, because with- in the last four years 33 houses for service personnel have been built near Mr, Zimbler's home. A further 17 homes are in pro- cess of construction in that area. But these are on land which is owned by the War Department, and as such are outside the jur- isdiction of the, council. Mr. Zimbler lives at Long- cross House, standing in some 246 acres of land commanding a magnificent view across 15 miles of countryside to the well- known Hog's Back Road. He says: 'My interest in this project is not profit-making, but purely philanthropic, and aimed at as- sisting those people less for- tunate than myself. It will be a model garden village, and will in no way violate the Green Belt. It will be away from the main road, surrounded by wood- land in a beautiful setting, yet near four railway stations." Mr. Zimbler asserts that the Green Belt has already been violated by the War Department housing. If his scheme is reject- ed by the county council, he has the right of appeal to the minis- ter of housing and local govern- ment. Mr. Zimbler has inti- mated that he will provide the land by way of deed of gift to a non-profit-making housing as- sociation for building houses, apartments, maisonettes and bungalows. Other land would be set aside for a community cen- tre, covered swimming pool, YOUR HEALTH sports field, indoor recreation hall, a shopping centre, a school and other amenities. One of the chief objectors is Lord Brabazon of Tara who lives about a mile from the site, He says: "I am not against people hav- ing the homes they want, of course. But in view of the fact posed. I think it er Chertsey, where there i} quite a lot of land." But Lord Brabazon And it is all very disappoint- ing to Mr. Zimbler, who said: "When I die the Chancellor of the Exchequer will take most of my money -- so while I am alive I want to share my good for- tune with the less fortunate in a housing scheme which could be a shining example to the rest of the country.* Memory Affected By Brain Damage By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Doctor: What can be done about my mother, who lives with us? She is 74 and doesn't seem to remember any- thing we tell her, although she recalls all sorts of details about things that happened when she was a ittle girl.B.C. There isn't too much I can suggest except that you be watchful of her general health and that you be patient. An older person doesn't forget on purpose. : There isn't any medicine to restore the memory. There isn't any diet that will bring it back. I am pleased to read now that Dr. Irene Hulicka, a psych-+ ologist at the State University of New York in Buffalo, is mak- ing a study of old people's memories. Already Dr. Hulicka has doubts that age itself means that the memory is bound to fail. She has done experiiments with people as old as 80 which indicates that they can remem- BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO May. 15, 1929 Oshawa City Council purchas- ed a new motor pump for the fire department.

Motors of Canada an- nounced an all-time high in production has been reached when 18,762 units were produc- ed in one month by the com- bined operations of the Oshawa, Walkerville and Regina plants. The total of books circulated at the Oshawa Public Library in April was 11,254, This was an pga of 3,382 above April The Oshawa Employment Bureau made 550. placements in April. This was an increase of 150 over the same month of the previous year. Gay Company Limited started wor kon a $75,000 tunnel for General Motors on William street. W. H. Moore, chairman of the Tariff Advisory Board, was awarded the degree of Doctor of Laws by Queen's University. A. J. Burns, D. F. Johnston, J.C. Ward, W. H. Karn, Elmer Dixon, George Hart, R. Harper, W. N. Gilbert and F. N, Tait were elected by the Oshawa Retail Merchants to form a committee to meet with the Chamber of Commerce to dis- cuss the possibility .of stores having a half-holiday the year round. The Oshawa Masonic Temple was officially opened by the Hon. J. S. Martin, Grand Mas- ter of the Grand Lodge of Can- ada in Ontario. George Hart, president of the Oshawa Mason- ic Temple Co.

Failing general. health, how- ever, and certainly brain dam- age, can cause lapsed memory, and by and large this loss is noticed more among. invalids. It could be, she suggests (and it sounds . most logical), that damage to the brain may be somewhat more likely in ad- vanced age. This is true of health problems in general, I have no doubt that it will take a long time to learn as much as we need to know about the subject, but at least it is getting attention. And, even for right now, Dr. Hulicka has. what should. be a very useful suggestion. You can't remember what you don't learn! Old people may not see or hear very well. They may not be interested in some things which no longer seem impor- tant to them. So before you jump. to the conclusion that someone forgets just because of advancing years, make sure that the person sees, hears, and pays attention to whatever ought to be remembered. Where actual brain damage has occurred, be understand- ing. We don't become impatient with an oldster with a broken hip because he doesn't walk. We shouldn't become impatient if the injury has been to the brain instead, and the oldster is genuinely unable to remem- ber, Dear Dr. Molner: I am on a 1,200-calorie diet and wonder if corn, parsnips, green lima beans and navy beans are con- sidered "starch" foods. And why can I have all I want of raw tomatoes?--Mrs, P.P. They aren't "'starch" foods in' the sense of bread, cake, spag- hetti, etc, They contain from about 10 per cent sugar (for parsnips) to 15 to 20 per cent for corn. Usually one serving s allowed at a meal. Rew to- matoes, containing only three to, five per cent sugar, can be eaten more generously from the calorie standpoint. (Sugar, like starch, is a carbohydrate.) Dear Dr. Molner: Are the chlorgphyll tablets (for combat- bar so breath) perfectly safe? Yes. I have never heard of any harmful effects.

Martin deservedly won in- ternational applause and moved nearer centre on the world stage, when single-handed, he quickly achieved an interna- tional peace-keeping force for Cyprus On those grim afternoon hours of Friday, March 13, Paul Martin was the only statesman willing and able. to interpose himself between the archbishop dabbling amateurishly in poli- tics and the Turks dabbling dangerously in warfare. As I write these lines, Paul Martin is now packing his bag for the journey to The Hague, where he will represent Canada at the regular spring meeting of the Council of Ministers of the North Atlantic Alliance, His heart must indeed be heavy, as he sets out for the frustrating experience of con- fronting the aims of one ally to tear apart an alliance which has preserved the peace for 16 springs and promised prosper- ity through the years to come. The proposals by France -- and this is another way of say- ing "the threats by General de Gaulle' -- seem comparatively trivial, He wants to abandon the present integrated military command, and restore the in- depefidence of national forces. And he wants to establish third nuclear armory, ulti- mately rivalling those of the United States and Russia, pro- vided and controlled by the QUEEN'S PARK tions on account of her 7 special Commonwealth respon- sibilities. ; MUST SIT IT De Gaulle gl old ' man, * human life is not enduring or great powers of Western Eur- ope in alliance. WHO'S TO BLAME? : The North Atlantic Alliance was the brainchidd of Canada's Mike Pearson. It- underwent some drastic pre-natal plastic surgery at the insistence of other participating unions; it has suffered shackles im- posed .during its 15 years of life. These have all been dic- 'ted by. the narrow parochial- ism of national leaders, who paid greater heed to possible domestic voter reaction than to the ultimate benefit of the al- liance and indeéd of mankind. It is fashionable today to © blame de Gaulle. But long be- fore he came to power, voices were warning that a mere mili- tary alliance would fall apart as the military threat receded; hence that to preserve the com- munal security and prosperity at which we aimed, we should obviate the risk of disintegra- tion from within by binding the Parts of the alliance into a true Atlantic Community. To be brutally frank, Canada, the U.S. and Britain all resisted this movement towards cohes- ion long before de Gaulle started his little "pas seul". The so-called statesmen of the U.S. and Canada feared the cre- ation of 'a United States of the Atlantic," because they felt that any levelling of taxes and wel- fare measures between the component states would be poli- tically unpalatable at home; Britain had her own reserva- Robarts Praised For Rights Probe BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--There are many assessments 'still to be made on Premier John Robarts. But let there be--and there is --one thing to his eternal credit. He has established the Mc- Ruer commission. More than anything else that has happened in this. province in decades, this is important. It is something we have sorely needed. Our principles of government have been slipping. Our root values have been growing pale. Our knowledge of ourselves, of our spirit, of the why we are as we are, has become dim. More important, it has become unimportant. - Now a dramatic stroke by Mr, Robarts could well correct this --as well as it can be corrected. GOOD POLITICS There is much political talk alive these days. It is said Mr. Robarts has made a smart political move. His own supporters say it -- gloatingly. But let us ignore this. If we don't we are ignoring ourselves. For politics is the heart of our system. Our political sides, one against the other, provide the pressure and move ahead with And this Mr. Robarts has done. He has freely recognized mis- takes on his own part. And he has had no shame in admitting wrong. He is a man who has recog- nized need and has not been afraid to acknowledge it. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 15, 1964... The United Nations Secur- ity Council received a for- mal note from Egypt 16 years ago today--in 1948-- announcing that her troops had invaded Palestine. The purpose of the invasion, Arab spokesmen told the council, was to restore peace and suppress 'a re- bellious minority." The Jewish Agency for Pales- tine, accusing the Arabs of 'breaching the peace," ufged. the council to inter- vene without delay. 1932 -- Premier Tsuyoshi Inukai was assassinated in Tokyo. f 1935--The first radio quiz program was broadcast in Canada. He is a "'good" politician, no matter what the circumstance behing it. And let us, in turn, acknowl- edge him, not belittle him.

'Spouse' Lures Acrobat Back To Reds' Jail BERLIN (AP)--An East Ger- man trapeze artist who crawled a high tension line to West Ber- lin 17 months ago was lured back by his wife and now is in a Communist prison, a close relative said. The wife has divorced him and married another man. The relative said the circus performer, Horst Klein, went back to East Berlin last July after receiving letters from his wife, Sylvia, who said she could not go on living without him. "As soon as Horst got back, he was arrested and last De- cember he was sentenced to 38 months at hard labor," the rel ative, who asked not to be named, said'in an interview. "The worst thing is, Horst's wife obtained a divorce in Feb- ruary and last month she re- married." Klein, who was 38, escaped to West Berlin in December, 1962, after he was forbidden to work in a circus because he was too outspokenly anti-Communist. Klein climbed a pylon sup- porting power cables -- the barbed wire barricades the Teltow Canal. He did not know that the 110, 000-volt line no longer was in use. Fearful of being electro- cuted, he used his acrobatie agility to leap from the pylon to insulators and then from the insulators to the cable. Better Times In Store Most Canadians Think y »THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE. OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Canadians indicate a healthy optimism regarding the current prosperity in .their country. More than six in ten citizens think Canada is headed into even greater prosperity while only one»#in ten look for less prosperous times. A quarter' of the people feel there will be no change in the next year. Those who show the greatest optimism in Canada's immedi- ate future come from profes sional and executive classes --: 78 per cent. Farmers.
