"New avenues of communication 'should be established between those »who design our tax laws and those who must pay taxes under such laws." "This is not mere theory from the arm-chair experts. It comes from a man with much first-hand know- ledge of the infinite number of ways that tax policies can influence, shape and determine the success, wor lack of success, of a business 'corporation, hence of government 'revenues. He is the Hon. J. V. Clyne, chairman and chief executive officer 'of MacMillan, Bloedel & Powell River Ltd. "At his company's recent an- nual meeting he pointed out to shareholders: "We have been permitted accele- rated rates of depreciation on ma- chinery and equipment for two years and these rates are important considerations in our | corporate planning. But is this only a tem- porary measure or is it to become established policy?" 'Need Stiffer The Ontario Chamber of Com- merce has formally passed a resolu- tion asserting that motorists con- victed of impaired driving, careless driving or dangerous driving are sometimes let off too easily, Thus yet another responsible voice is added to the growing demand for more severe penalties for these offences, the Ottawa Journal. points out. We seem to be in a curious situ- ation. A great variety of public and private organizations, and societies ask for stiffer sentences for traffic offences; nobody seems in favor of lighter sentences except the courts, says the Journal, and goes on: "Dangerous driving and impaired In Defence Of Mr. Fisher. The Ottawa Journal has come to the defence of Douglas Fisher, MP, indeed all MPs who write news- paper columns.

Yet, as Mr. Clyne says, Canadian industry must plan ahead on more than a one or two- year basis. "As well as being bad for busi- ness, silly secrecy in tax plans can be bad for the government. This the present administration dis- coverered when its first budget brought a violent reaction from the public and had to be amended. "The tradition of secrecy on bud- get matters was inherited from a very much simpler civilization. But it is definitely not suited to the realities of the mid-twentieth cen- tury economy. Why risk for the sake of tradition tax changes that can be bad for both the taxers and taxed? "Why not open up tax proposals to public discussions, perhaps before a parliamentary committee? This move in the U.S. has neither brought about the collapse of gov- ernment nor produced fortunes for speculators. "The old wives' tale that fore- knowledge about budget changes is going to let the lucky get rich quick is just. nonsense," Penalties driving show a wanton disregard for human life. These acts can kill. Whether they do kill or not is only a matter of chance. As we have ob- served before, the dangerous driver or the impaired driver is like a man who plays Russian roulette with the gun pointed at some innocent by- stander. He is just as anti-social as the thief, and a greater menace. "When will the courts come to understand this? When will they stop treating motor murder as if it were a trifling misdemeanor less serious than petty theft? Wheri will they stop issuing warnings and start issuing maximum sentences? Most accidents are not accidents." and edited the Labor Tribune. And there were many others. "And so in Canada.

Hugh Clark, a veteran par- liamentarian, never ceased writing for his Kneardine Review. And even Mr. Fielding, after he ceased- to be Minister of Finance, but was in the House in the days of Union Government, wrote for the Montreal Journal of Commerce. : "Perhaps it is not that Mr. Fisher writes, but what he writes, that rouses the ire of Mr. Fisher's critics.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.} Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- An article in the current issue of the British Medical Journal expresses grave concern regarding the 'brain drain' of graduate doc- tors from the United Kingdom to the rest of the world. In a survey covering the last 10 years, Dr, John Seale, of Rich- mond, Surrey, writer of the ar- ticle, estimates that in this period nearly 4,000 British doc- tors have left the counry for other Commonwealth countries -- with Canada takifg the largest number of any country listed -- and other parts' of the world. This average migration over- seas of 400 doctors a year is equivalent, says Dr. Seale, 'to nearly 25 per cent of the output of British-born graduates from the medical schools. In addition, in the 10-year period over 1,000 doctors migrated from Ireland to overseas countries. This amounts to nearly one-third of the output of Ireland's medical schools. CHECKS ON MINISTER Dr. Seale admits that it is dif- ficult to ascertain the total amount of emigration of @«ctors from the United Kingdom. But he believes that the findings of a detailed and independent study soon to be published will not differ in any substantial way from his own findings. He contends. that Enoch Powell, when he was minister of health, was mistaken in claim- ing in 1962 that the rate of emi- gration of doctors had been over-stated. In support of this, he quotes figures which he ob- tained from other countries to which British doctors have mi- grated. CANADA'S SHARE In 1963, Canada received more British and Irish doctors than any other country. In thatayear, 161 British doctors and 13 from Ireland. setled in Canada to practice their profession, This compared with 95 British and eight Irish doctors who went to Canada in 1962. To the United States, in 1963, went 73 British and 51 Irish doc- tors, In 1962, the figures were 82 from Britain and 53 from Ireland. In 1963, 108 British and 14 Irish doctors went to Australia, with 97 and 13 respectively be- ing the corresponding figures for 1962. New Zealand. received 34 British doctors and one Irish in 1963, and 23 British and four Irish in 1962. The 1963 figures for South Africa were 22 Britftle and nine Irish, and in 1962, 24 British and 11 Irish.

The conclusion reached by Dr. Seale is that in the last 10 years, 4,392 doctors emigrated perma- nently to other countries.

OTTAWA REPORT PM's Job Tough -- Even At $45,000 By PATRICK NICHULSON OTTAWA--How tough is the job as chief executive officer . and chairman of the board of Canada's government? Well, for his $45,000-per-year. plus fringe benefits, a prime minister has his mind on the job for at least 12 hours every day, and he has the job on his mind even longer--sometimes: in his dreams. .' One of the little foibles of our top politicians is their belief that it is kindly and necessary to put their aged brothers out to pasture on pension, while they consider themselves indis- pensable.and not victim to the normal human downhill slide in while our votes are sought by promises ofa big re- tirement pension at age 65, our two most prominent promisers place themselves in a superior category which superciliously refuses to retire at the common age. YOUR HEALTH Asks Questions What do we know about the~ real health and degree of vigor of our top politicians? Nothing, except what we can -observe. And this suggests that the job is too gruelling for both those old men. ' Evidence suggests that: even a one-time athlete such as Mike Pearson, with a waistline still trim, cannot take the tough * task as prime minister in his 68th year.' When his political rival, John Diefenbaker, was in his 68th year, his obvious ill health was widely described in newspaper and radio. One observer, believed to be a confidant of a cabinet col- league of Mr, D., reported in the press at that time that "the spirit of indecision which chat- acterizes the government" seemed to stem from Mr. D's lessthan-good health. That writer mentioned "the sort of trembling which many people noticed in the prime minister during the last elec- Plastic Surgery By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I want to have plastic surgery for my big nose. I am 18, and my parents will pay half and I will pay the rest, But we all want to know more about it before we consult a surgeon, What is the average cost? Can the surgeon create any kind of nose desired?- Where does one look for a good, reliable spe- cialist?--MISS A, H. Cost? Several hundred dol- lars. Assuming that you have in- Surance, you must find out whether it will cover any of the cost, because this is an elective type of thing. You don't need it for health; you want it for appearance's sake. This is a problem on which you had best make up your mind AFTER you have con- sulted a surgeon, and heard his estimates. Your locality, the surgeon's estimate, and other factors will enter into it. Talk- ing to the doctor doesn't com- mit you to 4nything, and in such cases I urge people to find out the cost before making a decision. Can the surgeon construct "any kind of nose desired?" Yes, But a surgeon usually does not do so. Why? Becaue, psy- chologically, people are not al- ways very good judges of what they really want. A young woman with an over- sized nose may get to day- dreaming about looking like a certain movie actress, But the latter's nose might not look right on her. So surgeons create noses which will fit faces, not the noses that people may, at first, think they want. Before the operation, measurements are taken of the face. The length and angle of the nose have to be right, Photographs or sketches are commonly used, so an.idea can be provided as to what result is to be expected. The surgeon doesn't just start whittling freehand. He can't add mortgages refinanced you? . UNIVERS| FEES to give you cash... Could you 'use some of the money you now have tied-up in property?

He has to know exactly. what he is going to do before he does it. This is Surgery of great precision. Most surgeons photograph the patient beforehand, retouch the photo until the nose is of the desired shape. Then another Photo is taken afterward so the patient can see that it came out just as predicted. How to find the right sur- geon? In the smaller commun- ities, you won't find a plastic surgeon, You'll have to go to a city or medical centre. Your first source of guidance is your own doctor, right at home. Even if he doesn't have Personal acquaintanceship with a surgeon such as you want, he usually has professional friend who will give*him expert advice to pass on to you. Otherwise choose a hospital which you respect and like, and select one of the surgeons at- tached to it. Or you may ask your County Medical Society for the. names of two or three sur- geons which the society stands ready to recommend. Any of these methods will assure: you of winding up wit a well-quali- fied sungeon. Dear Dr. Molner: My son has a growth on the sac on the back of his ear lobe the size of a pea. It does not pain or show any inflammation. Should he go to a doctor to have, it re- moved or lanced if it doesn't bother him?--W.J.L. ° It would be just as well to have it looked at, to make sure what it is. Simple cysts are not uncommon in the crevice be- hind the ear' lobe, and may eventually have to be removed for comfort. Lancing won't help a cyst except briefly. ; tion ca ~ that pena fy system. "In revenge, these drugs diminish the faculties," he added. _ hag Whether Mr. D. req more than rest and tite ba known; what is known is that 'now, occupied more p! as mere MP instead of as PM, he seems to be in improved health. IS MIKE MELANCHOLY? | .. Meanwhile, Parliament Hill-ts asking: What has happened to the charming and smiling } Pearson of yesteryear?) He also has ave 'the prime ministerial tion of indecision -- one has only to mention Time magazine, redis- tribution, pensions and flags as ever of legislative vacilla- on. We notice his growing lack of control and short patience in the House of Commons, for which anh Ottawa newspaper has just chided him editorially. In the House also, he shows anew tendency to blow up, and he blushes vividly when an- noyed, such as when one of his colleagues puts a foot wrong. The once robust sportsman seems newly subject to minor sickness, and on more one occasion récently he has home, 'reportedly suffering a cold only, yet his intimate circle has been worried. This 'adds up to, the inevitable conclusion that the stress of of- fice has stricken Mike Pearson, as it certainly struck his pre- decessor. ose Mr. Pearson, probably, con- sults his doctor son-in-law for professional advice, so he is fortunate to get the best care. What is said ina. consulting room is a well-kept secret. But it is being speculated here that the. prime minister needs one of the modern wonder mental drugs, to pep him up and te balance the stress of office. Canadians cannot take lightly these two lessons of "The 68th Year." The obvious symptoms of our two recent prime minis- ters suggest that a man should leave Ottawa's East Block of- fice, just as he is encou to leave factory bench or desk, on his 65th birthday.
