86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1964 -- PAGE 6 $ 'Hospitalization Costs Part Of Accident Toll The cost of traffic accidents in terms of human suffering cannot be calculated, but other costs can-- and a sorry record they provide. | Insurance companies compile sta- tistics covering property damage, which show dollar losses running "into the tens of millions. More dif- ficult to obtain are the figures cov- ering such items as medical expens- es of traffic victims and absent- eeism as the result of accidents, but these totals may well be even high- er than those for property damage. The high cost of hospitalization ¢an be assessed from the comments of Christian Smith, director of health and safety education in the Saskatchewan department of public health. Hospitalization for accident victims in' the Assiniboia-Gravel- bourg health region last year cost almost three times as much as the total budget of the region for all health purposes, he reported. The region's 412 accidents ¢ost the Saskatchewan Health Service Plan $174,435, while its public health budget was $61,264. Referring to the total combined budgets of the province's 12 health regions and the city health depart- ments of Saskatoon and Regina, ke said 14,278 persons. were treated for: accident injuries in hospitals last year at a total cost of $2,718,- 285, whereas the total amount spent in the fiscal year on all pre- ventative health services by the public health staffs came to $2,283,- 232. He pointed out: "Hospitalization was only part of the dollars-and-cents cost of acci- dents. The medical expenses can be assumed to have been about one half as much again, and then there were public assistance, 'loss of income, absenteeism and other costly re- sults." Those figures cover an area with a comparatively small population and a traffic density far lower than that of, say, the Oshawa-Toronto area. One can imagine what the total cost would be for the country as a whole. Mr. Verwoerd's Truth > Prime Minister Verwoerd of South Africa has complained about what he. called "a boycott of truth" about his country. The outside world, he said, refuses to see the truth and is hypocritical about apartheid (the separation of races). The greatest separators of man- kind, he said, are the Berlin wall and the iron curtain--and the sep- aration of races in South Africa is insignificant by comparison. This comment brought a contemporary to ask: But is it insignificant that a little more than 8 million white persons in South Africa will not associate with almost 18 million nonwhite persons? Or that they deny them equal opportunity, a voice in the national government, and opportun- ity to share in the industrial growth of the nation? When it makes that colored majority live in inferior areas and carry passports like pa- roled prisioners ? As to "truth" about South Africa, the situation probably is worse than the world knows, The Milwaukee Journal suggests. South Africa not only muzzles its own writers, oppo- sition po' :ticians and revresentatives of the nonwhites, but it censors out- side observers and writers both in where they cau go to learn the truth and what they may say about what they jo learn. It is South Africa tuat hides the truth, not the world that refuses to hear it or seek it. Practical Assistance Governments of 106 nations con- Vast armies of locusts swarm through Asia, Africa and the mid- dle east. In Ethopia alone they de- voured enough crops in 1958 to feed one million people for a year. Lately an effective counterattack has been mounted by a little known international agency--the United Nations special fund, created in 1959. Techniques have been de- veloped to seek out and destroy locust breeding zones. An internat- ional network provides three weeks' advance warning of insect activity. The desert locust, a scourage since Biblical times, may soon be brought under permanent control. This is just one of many ways in which the special fund helps poorer nations wipe out formidable bar- riers to a richer, fuller life, The Milwaukee Journal points out. Other tangible achievements can be found throughout the underdeveloped world: Tunisian farmers increasing their milk production through new cattle feeding methods, construction of the first major hydroelectric plant in the Sudan, soil surveys showing that idle lands in southern Togo can be used for large scale pro- duction of fruit and sugar cane.

Other Editors' Views HOARE AND GOLDWATER (Hamilton Spectator) Senator Goldwater's obsession with warmongering theories, and his refusal to change a course he must know is wrong, can only re- mind historians of- a remark Sir Winston Churchill once made about Sir Samuel Hoare, a former British war minister. with foot-in-mouth leanings. "Sir Samuel', said the then Mr. Churchill, "occasionally stumbles over the truth, but he al- ways picks himself up and carried on as if nothing had happened." Senator Goldwater, we fear, will continue to.carry on in the face of such spirited criticism of his dang- erous policies, as if nothing had happened. Out of the stuff of such stubbornness are fashioned fanatics, Bible Thought "... count him not_ad an enemy but admonish him as a brother." 2 Thessalonians 3:15. An enemy properly treated some- times turns out to be a trusted friend. It's all in the treatment. ¢ Oshawa Zimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited PINNING THE TAIL ON THE DONKEY QUEBEC OPINION Weak Arguments Used To Condemn Federalism This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, trans.ated from the French- language press of. Canada. Montreal Le Devoir--iIn a speech last week to the Que- bec Richelieu Club Georges- Henri Fortin, president of the St.. Jean - Baptiste Societies, explained why the. organiza- tion has rejected co-operative federalism: But the argu- ments used are extremely weak. By using the principles on which Mr. Fortin based his argument one could also con- clude that this new political formula is a useful means of. attaining the objectives shared by all French -Can- Wa. 65 The essence of the new pol- icy is that we are entering an evolution towards a federal- ism that is more respectful of the rights of Quebec. Is it wise to condemn in advance an attempt at redress whose future results are unknown and which has already borne appreciable fruit? His principal complaint is that the new policy is inspired by Anglo-Saxon pragmatism as far as the evolutionary character of constitutional law is concerned. Thus he complains that consulting the provinces does not make a big enough change in the play of forces and is in effect a con- stitutional status quo incom- patible with the right of Que- bec to self-determination, He rejects. the' evolutionary concept of Canadian federal- ism as contrary to "'our poli- tical genius which requires order, stability and clarity." But many of the elements. of his thesis lack clarity and logic. For instance the ques- tion of the status quo. No one can deny that Quebec has gained ground between 1960 and 1964 but people reply that this is a smoke screen, that instead of the old centraliza- tion we have a new one, this one with the provinces' agree- ment. These affirmations are neither evident nor proved. The example of the federal loans to students is not evi- dence either. Mr. Fortin quotes an article where I my- self denounced this invasion of provincial jurisdiction by the central government and he ex- presses surprise that I do not reject co-operative federal- ism. The present situation of our federalism,' despite cer- tain improvements, is not ac- ceptable but it is subject to a new policy of searching for satisfactory solutions. It is more logical to support and stimulate the efforts of those involved in this task than to block them with rash denun- - TODAY IN HISTORY . By THE CANADIAN PRESS Aug. 22, 1964... The. International Red Cross was established at Geneva 100 years ago today --in 1864, The organization for the relief of suffering owes its founding to the Swiss banker, Jean Henri Dunant, who was so moved by the suffering he wit- nessed at the Battle of Sol- ferino in 1859 that he unged the formation of such a 'vol- untary aid society. 1935--Social Credit forces led by William Aberhart came to power in A'berta. 1950--Canada experienced the beginning of a paralys- ing nine-day strike by 15 | unions. ciations. Let us at least await the results before judging-- Paul Sauriol. (Aug. 10). Quebec Cits Le Soleil--The first encyclical of Pope Paul VI rings out as a most. timely message in the world of to- day... . "Ecclesiam Suam" is a document of crystal-like clarity and great depth of thought, Like the encyclicals of his predecessors, it is a monumental work destined to leave its mark on the century. It perpetuates the teachings of Pius XII and. John XXIII, constituting a sort of syn- thesis of their thought. Cen- tred on the (Roman Catholic) church, Pope Paul's encycli- cal also opens out on to the world, It continues the dia- logue carried on since the Second Vatican council . . . appealing to all believers as separated brothers to put a stop to what endangers the world. It-does not hesitate to condemn strongly those sys- tems which, deride the idea of God and to condemn also the systems often identified with economic, social and political machines, among them and above all, atheistic commu- nism, But it continues to in- vite men of goodwill to en- gage in a sincere dialogue. This term dialogue has been widely used for some years and has served as a pretext for some Catholics to infer much more than it was meant to convey, just as it has en- abled enemies of religion to undermine the cause of truth. The encyclical says .. . the dialogue should | character- ized by clarity, mildness, con- fidence and prudence of thought, and this is the best possible definition of the mat- Po ks Ecclesiam Suam. is surely an important step prior~ to the. resumption of th second council in the autumn. The encyclical will open the way to new and fruitful discus- sions. (Aug. 12) Trois - Rivieres Le Nouvel- liste--The head of the New Democratic Party T. C. Doug- las, has just made a sensa- tional suggestion to the Com- mons that the portion of direct taxes going to the prov- inces should be raised from 26 per cent to 50. By virtue of a bill brought under study recently, the provinces' share of this sort of revenue would be raised from 26 to 30 per cent. As Mr. Douglas said, this is a step in the right direction but it is necessary to go even further. A more equitable share (of tax, revenue) for the prov- ince: would allow them to meet their constitutional obli- gations more effectively and allow the federal government to stop the payment of con- stitutional grants for the ac- complishment of tasks that come under provincial juris- diction. Certain fanatical federalists are becoming alarmed at the idea of Que- bec's being put in a position to become strong and to es- cape from the control of: the federal government... . In the case of contribut programs, Quebec doesn't want to prevent the other provinces from signing all the agreements they like, but it does want to be free not to associate itself with such things and, in the event of such dissociation, not to have to pay for the implementation of an agreement in the other provinces. Otherwise it is a matter of stealing money from Quebec to keep the other provinces going, a long-stand- ing occurrence which is no longer tolerable. The Commons members who want to keep Quebec in a state of subjection are pav- ing the way for a split be- tween the Confederation and ourselves. The high - handed tacties being used especially on the Opposition side would by no means win back the confidence and loyalty of French - Canadians. It would be best for everybody to think this over before it is too late. But a suggestion: like that of Mr. Douglas indicates that minds are clearing and that it will be possible to achieve a candid agreement made in good faith between Canada's two ethnie groups.

BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO August 22, 1924 H. Leslie Broomfield com- menced duties as general sec- retary of the Oshawa YMCA. The Board of Education hired 17 new teachers. Trustee Mrs. O. Myers pointed out the neces- sity of a qualified kindergarten teacher, The entire cost of producing the pageant for Old Home Week amounted to $438. By popular demand it was repeated at a later date. J. D Storie, president of the Board of Directors of the Osh- awa General Hospital, was much in evidence at the 15th birthday fete of the hospital. The ladies of the auxiliary had 12 tables decorated to represent the 12 months of the year. Work was delayed on the building of the new curling rink because of lack of shipment of the necessary steel beams. Fire left for the Fire Chief A. C. Cameron ebec City to attend hiefs' convention. City Engineer W. C. Smith an- nounced that Oshawa had 21 miles of pavement and 40 miles of sewers. W. E. Phillips Co. Ltd. took out a $10,000 building permit for an addition to the plant. Of the eight teams which com- peted in the Bell Telephone central division's first aid con- test in Hamilton, the Oshawa team won the trophy, Members of the-team were K C. Haskill (captain), G. Metcalfe, N. A. Rae, G. H, Fleming and J. H. Connor, An' aeroplant which came to Oshawa for a weekend did a big business taking up passen- gers at a charge of $1 per min- ute. About 150 local citizens left on harvester's excursion for the West. St. Gregory's Roman Catholic Church was undergoing a com- plete re-modelling. UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Cyprus, Vietnam Wreck Vacations Of Ministers By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON --Foreign affairs, with attention focussed on Cyprus and Vietnam, are occu- pying the concentrated attention of Prime Minister Douglas- Home. and members of his cab- inet, Their summer holidays are being wrecked by the necessity of rushing back to London as one crisis follows another. The Prime Minister has had to come back to Downing Street twice within a week, and R. A. Butler, foreign minister, has had to forsake his holiday hideout on the Hebridean island of Mull for consultations on the critical situ- ations which have developed. There are two factors in Brit- ain's stand' on these foreign problems which are entirely in accord with British public opin- ion. The government is lending its full moral support to the United States in its prompt action in countering Communist aggress- ive tactics in the Vietnam area. The British view is that nothing must be given up to the Com- munists in Southeast Asia, be- cause the Indonesian threat to Malaysia is one of a piece with thc efforts of the North Vietnam Communists to test the deter- mination of the United States to halt their attacks on South Viet- nam. There has been general satis- faction in the brusque announce- ment of President Johnson of his country's intention to coun- ter the probing of the Com- munists in Vietnam waters. CYPRUS PROBLEM From the British standpoint, the Cyprus situation is some- what more difficult, because of the presence of British bases on that island and of a substantial contingent of British troops in the United Nations force thee. One man who has lost entirely the sympathy or support of the British public is Archbishop Makarios, who is now seen as the villain of the Cyprus chaos. But there is still strong hope here that mediation by. the Unit- ed Nations, and the adoption of a firm stand against the militant tactics of the Greek Cypriots will bring about some kind of compromise that "will bring peace to a troubled situation. It has now become perfectly clear 'that Britain has had a thankless task, first of all, in bringing Cyprus to independence and secondly, in trying to stand between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots and prevent greater bloodshed. There is a strong feeling here that many of the people of Cyprus must be looking back with nostalgia to the days when their island, under British rule, was a place of peace and pros- perity, which have now depart- ed from it. LIBERALS ON DECLINE Turning to the arena of British politics, one of the major fea- tures which is now occupying YOUR HEALTH attention is the withdrawal from the contest of a substantial num- ber of prospective Liberal candi- dates, . In the last two or. three months, 30 Liberals who had been chosen to contest seats have given up the idea and have withdrawn. Lack of funds is given as the reason in some newed confidence and faith in the possibility that the Con- servatives will be the winners in the general election. Coupled with this is the view that the ners pee ome Hog is much brighter ticipated, and this in itself ' cases, but in others, a realiza-- | tion that their cause is a hope- less one in certain constituencies has caused them to give up the fight. There is also the possibil- ity that there will be many other withdrawals within the next few weeks, At the Liberal assembly last fall, the hope was expressed that the party would have 470 candidates in the coming elec- tion. That number, however, has now been cut down to 353, the number now in the field. The chances of success of these can- didates are very slight. Since the war, the Liberals have never increased their strength on the Commons in general elections. The Orpington by-election raised their number of seats from six to seven, but there can be little hope that the' general election will see this increased. Liberal candidates in most constituencies have a nuisance value to the other two parties, as the intervention of a third man in the field might well give . Labor some seats without hav- ing a clear majority vote. STOCK MARKET SIGNS One significant indication of election thinking in circles that usually have a high degree of poltical foresight is the rise in share prices on the London Stock Exchange. Share prices have moved steadily ahead in the last week or two, keeping in pace with public opinion polls which have shown a steady de- cline in the Labor lead. Prices are now breaking through to- wards creating all-time high records. This is taken as a sign of re- the state of the country's .econ- omy, and they also reflect the feelings of industrial and ness interests on swings in cal opinion. Should future opinion polls show continuance ment on the stock exchange is likely to be accentuated. FIGHT AGAINST OIL Lord Robens, chairman of the National Coal Board, is fighting a stubborn battle to maintain the coal industry in the face of the inroads of oil in the market for fuel supplies. He had made an urgent plea to the govern- ment to do its part in keeping coal consumption around 200 million tons a year, which is the figure needed to make the coal industry viable. Last year, coal consumption in Britain amounted to 193,800,000 tons, the highest since 1960, but well below the 200 million ton figure registered in the 1950's. Oil consumption last year was the equivalent of 85,300,000 tons of coal, which indicates a doub- ling of oil consumption in the last seven years and a quad- rupling since 1949. One bright spot, however, is . seen in a growing export market for coal. Lord Robens reports that last year's exports were worth $102 million, compared with $60 million in 1962. This :n- dicates the kind of battle which is ahead of the National. Coal Board in its efforts to keep the coal industry in a thriving condition. ; YOUR INCOME TAX Estate, Succession Levies Different By WILLIAM C. HALL B. Comm., CA Death taxes in Canada con- sist of an estate tax as well as succession duties. The federal government levies an estate tax, whereas the provinces of On- tario, Quebec and British Columbia levy duties, Within the past two decades very significant changes have occurred in this field. Prior to April 1, 1947, the federal gov- ernment and every Canadian province were levying and col- lecting. succession duties. On April 1, 1947, all the provinces except Ontario and Quebec Two Types Of Food Causes Irritation By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. olner: I have a spastic colon and was told not to eat rough foods, Which ones are they?--ABK. Your goal is to avoid. foods which will irritate the colon, and that means two main cate- gories. One is the group which con- tain a lot of roughage, or fi- bres or particles which are not reduced to a soft state by the time they reach the colon. The other consists of foods which have laxative properties--that is, they act on the colon so as to stimulate it into action. The roughage or high residue foods include nuts, corn, bran, cabbage, broccoli, parsnips, tur- nips, lettuce cdery, radishes, raw pineapple and cucumbers. You will note that these in general have vegetable fibres, or cellulose, which will not di- gest easily. For most of us, a certain amount of this roughage does no harm and, indeed, helps keep the bowel active and ade- quately busy eliminating" wastes. When one has colitis, the bowel is too "nervous" and sen- sitive, and needs to be kept calm instead of stirred up. So you avoid such foods with a residue of roughage. Foods with laxative proper- ties would include prunes, figs, rhubarb, berries, whole sections of citrus fruits (the juice is all right, however), and pineapple. . , Cooking in general softens the fibres of most vegetables and fruits, or if not, they can' be strained or pureed. (With ber- ries, however, -you certainly must remove the seeds; cook- ing doesn't soften them.) Any number of cereals (bar- ring those containing bran) are easily tolerated. They may be crispy and crunchy in the box, but they soften nicely after they've been eaten: Corn, rice, wheat and oat products are fine. They don't have to be soft as gruel when you eat 'em. Alcoholic beverages (includ- BIG DIFFERENCES Important differences exist be- tween an estate tax and succes- sion duties.

The foregoing lists are by no means complete, but they give you an idea of what to avoid and what you may safely eat. Because cooking softens veg- etable fibres, many that you can eat cooked (and perhaps strained) but not raw, Dear Dr. Molner: My hands used to be bothered by dish washing detergents, I changed 'creams, My hands cleared up in a few days.--MN. What's good for one person can be bad for another. Chang- ing brands, or switching from detergents to soaps, or vice- versa, and the use of hand creams to soothe irritate skin, is the answer for many women: But they'll have to find out by trial and error what suits them. NOTE TO MRS. LLF.: The sun-tan creams are not '» the test of my knowledge ( that of the Food and Drug .._ iinis- tration) harmful. Two things are involved. One is a chemical which darkens the pigment of the superficial layers of skin. This does the "tanning." The "tanning." The other (this may be "separate, or included) is a material which filters the ultra- violet rays, permitting slow nat- ural tanning, But people still have to use good judgment.

The person who leaves the property is called the "predecessor"; the by tors: (1) the total value of the estate; (2) the value of the par- ticular succession; (3) the re- lationship of the beneficiary to the deceased. Under succession duty laws, a bequest to a stranger will at- tract more tax than the same bequest made to a brother, and the latter bequest will in turn at- 'ract more tax than the same -- made to the deceased's wife. The calculation of the tax If- ability under succession duty legislation is qdften a complex matter. An estate tax; on the other @ RESIDENT PARTNERS Burt R, Waters, C.A. Hon. J. W.
