2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, Mey 27, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- MR, DAFOE STILL, UNHAPPY ABOUT CITY INSURANCE What is so hard to come by as over-all, tip-to-date statis- tics on this municipality's general insurance set-up? It's a time-consuming, frustrating job. Ask. Alderman Finley Dafoe. For instance, cap anyone tell us within reasonable time ot the City's insurance bill was in 1963, that is the me + econ City Halil, PUC, Board of Education, the Osh The City paid $27,285.63 in premiums to W. B. White Insurance Ltd. (which firm handles the great bulk of City Hell's insurance) ih 1963 for coverage of approxi- mately $5,284,076. This in- chides covéfage on such iteiie as Buildings and Con- tents ($4,074,094); Compre- hensive Liability and Prop- erty Damage ($8,583.24); Non - Owned automobiles ($200,000); and Board of Works contractors equip- tment ($489,682), but it doesn't encompass the entire municipal picture. It doesn't ef . include City Hall pensions. The City's estimated prem- MESERMAN BATOR ium bill with W. B. White this year wil be $27,337.97, but this does not include such items as insurance on the new Civic Auditorium (to be deter- mined later), or properties acquired during the year by the municipality. The City's airport atid Board of Education properties are insured with Schofield-Aker Ltd, Even for Mr. Dafoe, Municipal insurance figures are hard to come by and no statistics have been released as to the amounts paid to the City in claims in 1963 or 1962. This is @ Situation that. irks. Mr. Dafoe, the vociferous and untiring critic of the City's insurance set-up, ho end. - The tart - tongued elder statesman of Oshawa's municipal world, gets little or no support from Oouncil col- leagues, but he has made no secret of his dissatisfaction with the City's insurance set-up. He says such information (as claims paid) is in the pub- lic interest, should be released voluntarily and regularly with- out prodding. What irks Mr. Dafoe most (as it does many influential editorial voices across the Province) is the City's long-stand- ing policy of automatically handing out its insurance business annually to the same agencies without tendering. "We could save money by getting competitive prices," he says, but a spokesman for W. B. White said recently "competitive prices" are obtained in most, if not all classifi- cations ('We have access to 52 insurance fitms which en- ables us to get the best possible quotations," he said.) The policy adopted by many municipalities of allowing local insurance agents to share in the annual premiums paid by the City, although they do nothing to earn such money, #iso disturbs Mr. Dafoe no end. The same situation exists in Oshawa under the current policy -- W. B, White, or Schofield-Aker Lid., retains 10 per- cent of the premiums collected from the City by their firms-- they then pay back a major portion of this fee to fellow city agents, who ate local taxpayers and also members of the Oshawa and District Insurance Agents Association (which includes some 30 firms.) Thus the majority of ODITA mem- bers get a piece of the City's insurance cake without doing any work. "Arrangement with the Agents' Association," said a spokésman for the. ODIAA," allows the offices handling this business to retain a small percentage of the commission to reimburse it for office expenses balance of the commission is divided among all member agents on an equal basis. It is important that the job of protection be handled by someone who has a mutual interest and responsibility with the Oshawa taxpayer and a reputation at risk' (To which Mr. Dafoe replied: "Hasn't afy insurance agent a reputation at risk?") PROVINCE PASSED LEGISLATION IN 1922 The Ontario government passed legislation in 1922 to give municipalities the power to build up their own insurance fund, but few, if any, did. That was the year Toronto put $50,000 aside for its own fire insurance fund, but there was much opposition to it -- it finally fell by the wayside several years later, after it had been increased to $76,000. The City of Montreal hasn't bought fire insurance since 1904. Many firms which own large fleets of cars, trucks do hot buy auto insurance at ail. They reason that their own assets are on a par with assets of many insurance compan- jes and that they can protect themselves by putting insur- ance premiums in the banks (where these reserve funds will earn money and will not be depleted by payments of profit and commission to private insurance companies and their agents.)

Senator Says Canada Has Phony Pride OTTAWA (OP) -- Canada's pursuit of an international image Was described in the Sen- ate Tuesday night as a "fanati- cal obsession." The remark came from Sen- ator Grattan O'Leary (PC--On- who also said Canada was a sinall power with a "phoney national pride." In a hard-hitting speech that did not spare his own party for contributing to 'the appalling extravagance" of recent gov- ernments, the sénator ques- tioned the appropriateness of Canada's support of various! United Nations operations. by Senator George S. White (PC) --Ontatio) who said Canada had| jdone more than her share in) supplying troops to the UN. Senator O'Leary character- ized the chase for international favor as a mimicry of the United States. Canadians were "almost as oad as our Ameri-| can neighbors who want to be| loved." The upper chamber was con- sidering an interim supply bill! covering June expenses of $338,- 136,717. The bill was given sec- ond reading--approval in prin-| ciple. Ask Anglicans | To Back Legal.

We are too well aware that people drop dead of heart at- | tacks at 'thrilling baseball games, or during fires, or on other occasions of stress and excitement. POWERFUL EFFECT Stress and tension do have powerful effects upon our bodies, and can even raise blood 'cholesterol temporarily. But it is still far from clear that tension and stress induce the artery clogging or ate a key influence in set- ting us up for heart attacks. And it's. debatable whether our way of life today really involves MORE stress than our ancestors faced. Poverty, economic depres- sions, fear of unemployment, | anger over social injustices, anxieties about our children, the race between income and debt, personal tragedies, the pressure to make critical de- cisions -- these stresses have been with us for a very long time. Some challenges call them stresses or tensions if you will -- are good for us if we're not to live dull, vege- table lives, empty of change and progress and richness of experience. The question is whether too. much stress somehow is doing some of us in. All this is very difficult to assess. If psychological stress in general is a KEY factor in coronaty heart disease, then we must assume that similar stress either doesn't exist, or else it operates differently in countries where the inci- dence of heart disease is very low. He echoed earlier statements) TyPE OF WORRY Is a particular kind of stress | involved in bringing on ather- osclerotic disease? Or is or certain types of stress, significant only when linked with other elements such as diet, smoking, high blood pressure? What. kinds of stresses (if any) are really harmful fear and 'frustration, uncer- tainty and boredom and rest- lessness, rapid change, time pressure, working too hard, fatigue, not getting enough sleep? Clues to clarify the | role of stresses and tensions | are coming from research. | ONE MAN'S STRESS Everyone knows our hearts beat. faster and blood pres- gure rises and our hands may get clammy when we become seared or angry, or anxious, or even when we ask for a raise. We react to stress with tmhore adrenalin and chemical changes in our blood to make us more alert, to prepare for fight or flight. But invariably we don't find it either permis- sible. or possible to run away or throw a punch. This may be hard on our arteries and heart, unless we can find ways of handling stress.

But fear or anger simply cannot reach out suddenly to clamp off a healthy heart artery. A long series of reac- tions to stress, ¢ombined with other factors, might have some effect. Some fesearchers hold that high blood. pressure is a re- sponse of a vulnerable person to unfavorable life ex- periencés and stresses. Stress- ful situations can also kick up blood cholesterol level. Blood cholestetol has been found to rise sometimes when a per- son has an exciting dream. REASON NOT KNOWN 'But whether people have persistent high cholesterol be- cause of chronic nervous ten- Sion and stress is still hot known. ups in cholesterol and blood pressure from stresses could help promote atherosclerosis, epecially in people on high- fat, high-cholesterol, high-cal- orie diets. Our personalities, and ways we react to stress, could well be involved. Two men on the same job, evén a menial one, can react differently, with one being unhappy and frustrated, the other quite contented. Evn if the two men react the same way to their jobs, their stresses at home from family or health problems can vary greatly. Humans also vary in how much they either suppress emotions, or let off steam, how much they find outlets for tensions through | hobbies or exercise. In any case, heart attacks are assuredly not primarily a disease of executives now. TIPS FROM EXPERTS In a three-year study of duPont Company employees, initial heart attacks after age 45 were found to have occurred more frequently among lower-salaried male | employees than those in high- | er brackets. The higher the position, thé more satistac- tion men and women may derive from the demands of their jobs, while employees in lower incomé levels may feel more frustration, or even resentment, Other studies all show ex- ecutives and professional peo- ple to be more prone to cOr onary disease than people on other economic levels. STRESS SUSPECT There is little solid infor- mation that psychological and cultural stresses by them- selves produce enough of a large and lasting change in blood cholesterol or mechattisms to hurry the de velopment of the artery-clog- ging disease, But stress could | be a factor, acting in concert | with other influences.
