2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, June 2, 1964 YOUR HEART HAS NINE LIVES: PART 12 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- AIR POLLUTION BY-LAW AT LAST The City has an Air Pollution by-law, at long last. given third reading last night. This recalis to many that Dr. C. C. Stewart, City MOH, tion almost four years ago -- Sep- It City Council, neverthe- less, is to be commended for finally taking such action, although time will be re- quired to see how effective the new' legislation is. Dr. Stewart, in 1960, ade- quately pointed out how dan- gerous the situation was. "We know that we have a considerable problem in Air Pollution in Oshawa and that it is recommended by the authorities, on the basis of a lengthy and thorough survey and analysis of the problem, we put into effect under the Air Pollution Con- trol act of Ontario a by- law regulating Air Pollution DR. C. C. STEWART in this city," he wrote to Council in 1960. * + "We can logically assume that as the City continues to expand, our Air Pollution problem will become even more acute: We are authoritative informed that the cost of the City of a good Air Pollution program is dwarfed by the econ- omic losses that are inflicted by pollution in our atmos- phere. Medical research has uncovered a correlation be- tween dense air pollution and serious forms of ill health, and future research may well uncover close connections between lesser concentrations of aid contaminants and certain illnesses. All things considered, it would appear only logical that this municipality should protect itself against an exist- jing Shveat. "The local board of health strongly recommends to the mayor and to members of the Council that a by law controlling air pollution be established.' GALT SCHOOL BOARD, ALSO, OPENS ITS DOORS GALT (CP) -- The Galt Board of Education has agreed to dispense with committee meetings on a trial basis until December and conduct all business at board meetings that will be open to the press and public. » . A Board spokesman said the decision was made at a spe- cial closed meeting. Closed committee meetings have been criticized by the press and the Galt Ratepayers Association. The fragmentary CP item above failed to explain that the Galt Board still met behind closed doors occasionally, despite the new press policy, to discuss such things as per- sonnel problems, proposed land purchases, etc., (which is as should be.) The item stressed also that there was a growing feel- ing in Ontario that the doors of school board meetings should be left open far more than they are. The Oshawa Board recently eased its press coverage re- strictions (at long last), so that the press could attend most committee meetings for observation purposes -- the press was' not alone in its criticism of the old Oshawa policy, as certain trustees, also, were loud in their criticism of re- strictive measures that made it impossible for them to obtain certain information. Oshawa has had an "open press policy for several weeks. Oshawa's City Council has had happy relations with the press generally in regard to coverage of non-open meet- ings. Council. does hold "secret" ,meetings, has no recorded policy in this regard -- any control by Council is 'by under- standing through verbal requests" (as one spokesman phrased i.) Press and the public may attend regular and special meetings of open Council. The press, also, can attend all committee meetings, standing and special with the exception of meetings at which "confidential" matters are to be dis- cussed, The press is permitted at committee meetings to permit reporters to have a better background of subject matter when it gets to an open Council meeting, Some citizens pay an annual fee of $2.00 to get min- utes of Council's open meetings -- minutes of committees go to administration officials concerned (at no time are they given or mailed to the press.) SWORIKS MARK 25th ANNIVERSARY More -than 350 guests turned up at Kinsmen Civic Centre last Saturday at a dinner-dance to mark the 25th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs, Michael Sworik. Mrs. Sworik is the sister ofMichael Starr, MP, Ontario riding, who was the guest speaker. "Mike" Sworik has been prominent in Oshawa and district PC circles -for many years Albert V. Walker, MPP, Oshawa riding, was also a head-table guest. Mr. Starr returned to Ottawa @ Monday -- he also attended a meeting of the Ontario Rid- ing (Federal) Progressive Association in the Hotel Gen- osha Thursday night. Children climbed all over those precipitous piles of crushed stone on the west side of the Oshawa Harbor last week-end, despite warn- ings such piles could collapse "MIKE" STARR -- however, every cloud has a silver lining and a spokesman for the Oshawa Harbor Com- mission said the matter would be discussed at a meeting Thursday. These piles are not only a hazard to children, they are also a blight on a strategic harbor area used by hundreds of motorists each summer to get a close-up of the harbor waters. LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Ever hear of the Port Authority Restaurant 500 feet above the New York World's Fair, or the Seagram Tower restaurant which towers over Niagara Falls? The Hotel Genosha had plans for a high-up restaurant atop the fifth floor where gourmets could scan the local panorama, but it was ruled out at the last minute -- transportation would be one of the problems. . . . Best estimate is that local hotels and motor hotels will spend a total of more than $450,000 on renovations (including furniture and remodelling) for new liquor outlets likely to be granted by the Ontario Liquor Licence Board at Peterborough Friday, June 12. Four local hotels will seek cocktail lounge and dining lounge with liquor licences. Two groups who would build motor hotels seek the game licences. The Oshawa Curling club seeks a cocktail Hcence and the Oshawa Naval Veterans Club would wine with meals. By ALTON sen gaa an JEREMIAH STAMLER, MD It looks and tastes exactly like a familiar frankfurter, but it's a special hot dog. The vanilla ice cream looks and tastes just like ordinary ice cream, but is made from skim milk and vegetable oils. They cherry pie and chicken casserole are as tasty as ever, but like the hot dog and sau- sage, are deceptively low in saturated fats. These and other foods are special ammunition in a major test of the idea that millions of Americans can eat to AVOID heart attacks. It's been amply proven that diets low in hard fats and cholesterol can usually bring blood cholesterol down. But, is it readily feasible for men and women en masse to alter their diets while living their normal lives? Can they lower their blood cholesterols, and keep them. down for years? And then -- will they ac- tually have fewer heart at- tacks? These critical questions are | answerable only through a | huge field trial similar in | basic respects to the field | trial with children which prov- | ed the Salk polio vaccine to be safe, potent and effective. Fifteen hundred volunteer married men aged 44 to 54 now are engaged in the first step. of this diet | test, consuming the special fopds developed by scientists, nutri- | tionits and food processors. If these men show they can stick to their diet, and that it lowers cholesterol, then up to 10,000 middle-aged men may be asked to sign up for a trial | lasting up to five years. If those men escape heart attacks compared with men who keep eating typical diets, then we will have nailed down definite proof that diet changes can prevent heart at- tacks. There would then be little question that most peo- ple should change their food habits. Scientists meanwhile are continuing vigorous research to complete our understanding of causes and prevention of heart attacks, to check out other clues and suspects, and to refine methods of detect- ing, very early, the men and women most suspectible to premature heart attacks. | TIME TO ACT | But right now, .you can ke a vital decision. You can choose to do no- | thing, and await the conse- | quences. Or -- you can begin dis- arming the conspirators that | are so powerfully implicated | m Halt Heart Abuse in promoting heart attacks too soon. Your hope lies in living, and living very well indeed, while keeping all the known risks under control. It is not diffi- cult, nor does it take forever to achieve. In only a matter of weeks, for example, Tom Stevens transformed his risk of a pre- mature attack from high to low, Through a planned loss of two pounds a_ week, he dropped 24 pounds without go- ing hungry. He slashed his blood cholesterol level .by 40 per cent within a few weeks, down to a healthy reading. His | electrocardiogram which had shown some abnor- mal tractings -- returned to normal, His blood pressure came down a bit, even though it hadn't been abnormally high, All he did was make some moderate changes in his hab- its, mainly in diet and in tak- ing up mild exercise. Four years later, he's holding on to all these benefits, and he and Mrs. Stevens find the new habits completely comfortable, pleasant and reasonable, All the evidence indicates he probably is protecting his heart, and could have fash- ioned a sturdier shield had he started earlier in life. Why do we grumble and de- lay in adopting new and simple habits that cannot do any harm and which offer the only known means of pro- tection? Some. delay because '"'the experts differ, so I can just wait until they settle the matter, and prove what I should do." But every major step in science and medicine has generally encountered re- sistance, objections, and de- bate. It is ironic that quiet a few voices unge delay in the mat- ter of reasonable and safe dietary changes, while few caution about drugs. The drugs for treating high blood pressure were readily accept- ed before there was adequate proof that they prevented some heart attacks, heart fail- ure, strokes and kidney fail- ure, An ancient illusion para- lyzes action for sensible, ef- fective health habits. It is the illusion that there must always be a neat and simple Solution to any health question, usually some drug. But no drugs are in sight that show any promise of really preventing the artery disease itself.

One argument is that not everyone is equally suscép- tible. But the central fact is that a solid majority of us is more or less susceptible in terms of the known risks we are har- boring. By doing nothing, thousands and millions of men and women are being abandoned to their fate while they have a hopeful chance to prevent disaster. By being too slow and cauti- ous in correcting our abuse of abundance and prosperity, millions of young and middle- aged men will keep on colli- sion course with heart at- tacks. Your counterattack is neith- er "rdical" nor difficult. The countermeasures are simple, and alluring old habits can be modified. No one need become a hypochondriac, fearful of every shadow and_ statistic, every egg on his plate, od. 'at a speed that would astound OTTAWA (CP)--The North- west Territories council, moving the House of Commons, Mon- day completed its version of a throne speech debate in two hours flat and today begins wading into legislation. bills in 10 sitting days. Nine speakers -- the entiré council membership--took part in the motion of appreciation for the commissioner's address Monday. The debate gives the four elected représentatives from the north an opportunity to review all the problems they came to Ottawa to represent. The five appointed members, most of them serving their first term, enter the debate as a method of introduction. Among the northern problems that stood out clearly during the first day's debate was the plight of the Indian, and the need for industrial expansion, Three members called for N.W.T.

It was a "remote, mail - order method of administration' that resulted in privation, distress and apathy in some far-out re- ions. Lyle Trimble, Mackenzie Delta, said that federal welfare payments are contributing to the downfall of the Indians, and some aspects of federal admin- shacks were 50. to 60 years old, and there was no planning in the communities. The three speakers were joined by veteran council mem- ber John Goodall, Mackenzie River, in seeking greater indus- trial expansion in the north. Mr. Goodall said there was too much reliance on casual work, and more effort should be put into developing the area's re- newable resources. Mr.. Porvitt said northerners had heard about all sorts of vi- sions and programs during the last few years, and now it was time for a concerted effort to develop the north. istration also made a contribu- tion. It was foolish to give welfare payments without asking some work in return. There were many cleaning-up projects that could be undertaken in these communities and the natives on be paid an hourly rate o they could tend when they) pt » he suggest Peter Baker, on North, said the living condi- tions of Indians around Yellow- knife is "a disgrace to all civil- Mrs. E.
