Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1964--PAGE 6 British Conservatives - Slowly Gaining Favor The closer the British election approaches, the more of a contest it appears. Just a few months ago, Harold Wilson, léader of the Labor * party, was being referred to as "the next prime minister". Now the phrase is. being changed to "pos- sibly the next prime minister" as the Conservatives show a quiet but steady recovery from the depths of disfavor to which they had fallen at the time of Harold Macmillan's resignation and the accession of Sir Alec Douglas-Home-to.the party leadership. Public opinion polls this week boosted the Conservative party's hopes of winning the forthcoming general election and, according to Reuters, touched off speculation of a snap election within the next five weeks. There was no sign from Conservative sources, however, of any departure from the announced intention to hold the vote in mid- Octolfr. One poll claims that the Conser- vatives have now overtaken the Labor party in electoral popularity and established a slim lead of not quite one per cent. Another poll Brutality To Dr. H. D. Cotnam, chief coroner of Ontario, told the National Asso- _ ciation of Coroners meeting in Van- couver the other day that 20 chil- dren, most of them babies under the-age of three years, were beaten to death in Ontario last year by their . parents, older brothers or sisters. He added: "IT feel that for each of the 20 proven deaths there are 100 cases of beaten and abused children." Simple. multiplication sets the total of beaten and abused children in this province at 4,000 last year, the Sudbury Star points out. The figure may be an over-estimate; it could also be an under-estimate -- who knows? The Star continues: Doctors are well qualified to ex- press opinions on the causes of injury. This is why they appear in the courts to give medical testi- mony. They testify in response to a court summons. Responsible authorities in child welfare are now speaking of com- \pulsion in requiring doctors to re- port all suspected cases of child estimated that Labor's lead had been cut to six percent, compared ' with seven per cent a week earlier and nine per cent a few weeks ago. Six per cent, of course, should be a comfortable margin. -- if it were maintained: until election day. But: if the trend continues, the margin will be appreciably less by mid- October. And the records of postwar elections in Britain show that Con- servatives-elect more members with a smaller percentage of the popular vote than Labor does, because Labor candidates pile -up huge majorities in some of the more populous centres. It is difficult to pinpoint any par-. ticular reason for the slow shift in British opinion. Mr. Wilson and his colleagues have not made any big political errors; the Conservative cast is much the same as it has been. Sir Alec, however, «has blos- somed as a personality on the hust- ings and on TV; people. seem to like him, as much for his little blunders as for his obvious eagerness to please. The Conservatives have also produced a radical new program. Children beatings. Rebuttal to the argument of doctor-patient, confidence is in the requirement that doctors now report gunshot wounds to the police. Social welfare workers, police and neighbors can also make their con- tributions to stamping out what is described as a "major social prob- lem," and 'that is an inadequate term. It is more than a pattern of social beKavior. The criminality of infanticide is more than murder of the newborn, or recently born, if it is to be given its proper defini- tion in law. Perhaps the words should be changed to set up an indictable offence to cover children up to the age of five years. How- ever, these are matters for the legal experts. They may feel that the law in its present form is a deter- rent to: the murder and beating of children and the weakness is in law enforcement: There is more than a public duty or good citizenship in reporting eases of child beatings.' A report in time, followed by investigation, may save a child's life. Fight Against Disease One million Canadians -- over five per cent of the population -- are affected by rheumatic diseases, of which arthritis is the most com- mon. Of these people, 285,000 are at least. partially crippled or de- formed; and of these, 63,000 are severely or totally crippled or de- formed. September has _ been designated as Arthritis Month in Canada and the United States, the month dur- ing which the spotlight will be turned on the efforts of the Cana- dian Arthritis Rheumatism. Society and the similar 'society in the United States.

In 1965 the Society's budget calls for an expenditure of $350,000 solely for research pro- jects. The Society itself is conduct- ing research into both causes and cures for all rheumatic diseases, in addition to giving financial support to many private projects. Each. branch of the Society has a treatment centre. In addition to these centres, the Society has a number of mobile treatment units which visit 'areas 'without perma- nent treatment centres. CARS officials say can help their fight~ against the crippling diseases by being on watch for possible symptoms, General symptoms are undue pain, stiffness or, prolonged feeling of fatigue. If any or all of these symptoms are noticed, a physician should be con- tacted at once. The earlier arthritig is diagnosed, the better the chance of halting its progress.

Waa is Pe Mectenden shack te YOUR HEALTH Low Blood Sugar Factors Checked By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Is there any remedy for weakness from low blood sugar, other than eat- ing?--AMW Yes, there are other reme- dies. cs The periods at which the blood sugar level is too low can bring weakness as well as head- aches and a feeling of being famished. However, several related fac- tors usually will be present in various combinations, and it is usually fruitless to try to treat a patient effectively unless these are taken into considera- tion. The patient's mode of living should be analyzed. What kind of exercise does he get, and how much? Are his meals reg- ular, or is he the type of per- son who skips meals or some- 'times picks at his food because he isn't hungry, or is emotion- ally upset? What does QUEEN'S PARK he customarily eat? If he at times skimps on protein, that can be a signifi- cant factor, Protein is released more gradually into the blood stream, hence guards against the abrupt ups and downs in the blood sugar level. How much does he sleep? Regularity 'of rest is important to him. He can't burn up large amounts of energy with im- punity If he has emotional problems, he must resolve them, not struggle along with the tensions and nervouspess. Medications (tranquilizers or mild seda- tives) often are necessary to correct certain nervous mani- festations, In some instances glandular deficiencies may need correc- tion: There en be thyroid or adrenal under-activity. Frankly, it isn't always easy to convince a nervous, high - strung patient that. he really ought to try to change -Committee Slices Travelling Costs By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--A word of praise for the committee on aging. A criticism of select commit- tees here has been that they've been inclined to free load. They would decide that they should know what is happening in their field in other jurisdic- tions -- California has been a favorite one. And the whole committee would up with its suitcases and spare shirts and be off to see the world. It's most important, of, course, that committees 'should find out what is going on else- where . There are many lessons they can learn from others. The aging committee is doing this, but still saving some dol- lars for the public purse. It is breaking down into sub- committees and any trips will be split up. Instead of the whole commit 'tee. flying off into the wild blue yonder only a few members will go on each trip This is a lead other commit tees could well follow. Another worthwhile lead has been given in this year's gov- ernment display at the CNE. The province is represented as handsomely as in the past. The Ontario building is filled with the displays from 20 gov- ernment departments. They are better than ever, many of them having been com- pletely up-dated. But notably missing are por- traits. If you've seen the building in > the past you will remember that over each booth there has been mounted a-big blow-up picture of the minister in charge. No more, They are There isn't a picture in place * No. official explanation is given. But it's assumed that somebody, most, probably Pre- mier Robarts, decided that this display to departmental adver- tising was not in the. best of taste. : Perhaps now the same prin- ciple can be extended to depart- advertising and book- gone. the lets You usually find a ter's picture in these. And these pictures also we might well do without. min's- This whole business of using personal pictures can be looked on as a self-promotion on the part of government which is even doubtful ethically. True, it now is a North Amer- ican habit. But there can be both good and bad habits, par- ticularly in North America. "sy INSURANCE COSTS? It's been reported there will be another boost in automobile insurance rates. This is now be- coming a regular thing) Every year there is another boost. There seems to be dittle ques- tion the companies need the in- crease. But a prediction: Watch for a demand for an inquiry. into in- surance company costs, particu- larly selling costs. his mode of living, learn to re- lax, and to be more regular in his eating, sleeping and activity patterns. But that is often what he needs far more than medica- tion. Dear Dr. Molner: Is there any way to care for babies who have sinus trouble? Or is ticre such a thing in infants?--MRS. Ss. Some of the sinuses (there are quite a few) are not de- veloped at birth, although the principal ones, the maxillary sinuses, are present. Sniffles and chronic runny nose, if a cold is not involved, more likely indicates an ade- noid infection, If pus is present, antibiotics. can be used. If there is a watery discharge only, a more likely explanation ds allergy. This is not uncom- mon in infants, But @f there are other signs that make -you think of sinus- itis, it is more to the point to look for some underlying cause. Examples are polyps, or bron- ciectasis. True sinus trouble is not very often seen in small children un- der the age of five years. Dear Dr.. Molner: My leg is bad and swells every so often. I would like to know why.--CL. There are many causes for such swelling. I could write for hours about it, and not help you as much as a physician could by 10 minutes of examining the leg and asking a few keen ques- tions. The fundamental of good medicine is accurate diagnosis. See a doctor, Something 1s wrong, or you wouldn't have that swelling. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 1, 1964... Five delegates each from Nova Scotia, New Bruns- wick and Prince Edward Is- land met at Charlottetown to discuss political ynion of the three Maritime regions 100 years ago today -- in 1864, Interest in the Char- lottetown conference was in- creased by the presence of representatives from the government of Canada. The meeting blossomed into the Quebec Conference one month later. 1905 -- The provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan were created. _BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO September 1, 1944 Some 120 delegates were ex- pected for the two-day conven- tion of the Ontario Associati of Plumbing Inspectors to. be held here, Lorne Slaght, sani- tary inspector for the Oshawa Board of Health, would pre- side at opening session. During the month of August 49 city building permits were issued representing an. esti- mated value of $46,840 to. bring the total estimated value of operations undertaken for the year to $504,005. Rev. J. H. Colclough, of Thornhill, was appointed new rector of Christ Memorial (An- glican) Church, to succeed Rev. J, D. Paterson.

It was believed they had been deposited perhaps 300 years previously. ¢ Ritson playground gained a margin of 828 points over Ro- tary Park to retain the Walms- ley-Magill trophy for , another year. ' e President Gives Views WASHINGTON (AP)--Follow- ing are the views of President Johnson on a variety of issues, as expressed in speeches, mag- azine articles, press confer- ences'and other public remarks and messages: FOREIGN POLICY In a speech Oct. 23, 1952, in Houston, Tex., Johnson said: "Tf anywhere in the world-- by any means, open or con- cealed -- communism tres- passes upon the soil of the free ' world, we should unleash all the power at our command upon the vitals of the Soviet Union." In. an article in the Texas Quarterly, winter, 1958, Johnson wrote: "An international stalemate with communism would, I be- lieve, be the greatest-of waste of American resources and the resourcs of freedom, even though stalemate produced no war. A vital government cannot accept stalemate in any area-- foreign or domestic. It must seek the national interest solu- tion, vigorously and = coura- geously and confidently." In his first speech before a joint session of Congress as president, Nov. 27, 1963, John- son said: 'In this age when there can be no losers in peace and no victors in war, we must recOg- nize the obligation to match national strength with national restraint. We must be prepared at one and the same time for both the confrontation of power and the limitation of power. We must be ready to defend the national interest and to negoti- ate the common interest. This is the path that we shall con- tinue to pursue." In a television interview March 15, 1964, he said: "As long as We are living in a world with 120 nations .. . we have got to realize that we have got 120 foreign policies. ... 1 realize that we have dis- couraging incidents from time to time, and we have problems, and because we try to help with those problems, sometimes the role of the peacemaker is not a very happy one. And so, for that reason, we have to do things that we don't want to do sometimes, and are rather ir- ritating--and sometimes we are abused because we do them, and sometimes we are misun- derstood. But if the final result is good, then our action is jus- tied.) "But there are going to be these demands from time to time--people who feel that all we need to do is mash a button and determine everybody's for- eign policy. But we are not liv- ing in that kind of world any- more." CUBA On April 20, 1964, speaking to the annual meeting of The As- sociated Press in New York, he had this to say about Cuba: "The use of Cuba as a base for subversion and terror is an obstacle to our hopes for the hemisphere. Our first task must be, as it has been, to isolate Cuba from the inter-American system, frustrate its efforts to READERS' VIEWS NATIONAL EMBLEM Dear Sir: Recently in the flag debate, Mr: Gordon Churchill raised doubt concerning the color scheme in the modified arms of . Canada reported by his col- league the Honorable Ellen Fair- clough on October 8, 1957, In her announcement Canada's national emblem was shown to be three red maple leaves conjoined -on one stem on a white field. Mr. Churchill referred particular. ly to evidence presented by me in 1945 to the joint Senate and House of Commons Committee on National Flag. When Queen Victoria in 1868 assigned three gold maple leaves on green to Ontario, and three green maple leaves on gold to Quebec, she in effect re- served three red maple leaves on white for the Dominion of Canada, The Canadian Almanac of 1896 recommended that Can- ada's national flag contain three red maple leaves on a white roundel. The royal visit of 1939 was marked by white banners and shields charged with three red maple leaves conjoined, The veterans' discharge button issued in 1945 consisted of three red maple leaves on silver, Her Majesty's flag as Queen of Can- ada created by the College of Arms in 1962 shows as its prin- cipal. motif three red maple leaves conjoined on white' The corrected version of the Canadian Red. Ensign shows three red maple leaves on one sfem on a field of white. This harmonizes with the armorial proclamation of George V. There is no possible doubt as to the authenticity of our national emblem or: colors. A. FORTESCUE DUGUID, Colonel RCA (RL) Ottawa THANKS Dear Sir: On behalf of the Directors of the Oshawa Fair I would like to thank you and the Oshawa Times for your assistance in improving and promoting the Oshawa Fair. If the weather had been bet- ter we feel certain the attend- ance would have been much larger. It is co-operation such as this that make an event successfu'. I would personally like to' add my thanks for your much ap- preciated assistance. JACK MANN, Promotion Publicity, destroy free governments, and expose for all to see the ugli- ness of communism. That policy is working. : "The problems of this hemis- phere would be far more seri- ous if Castro sat in the councils of the OAS, (Organization of American States) disrupting de- bate and blocking decision--if he had open channels of trade and communications along which subversion and terror could flow--if his economy had. been a successful model rather than a dismal warning. x "The effecttVeness of our pol- icy is more than a matter of trade statistics. It has increased awareness of difference and danger, revealed the brutal na- ture of the Cuban regime, jes- sened. opportunities for, subver- sion, reduced the number of Castro's followers, and drained wg resources of our adversar- les." AGRICULTURE In a message to Congress on agriculture, Jan, 31, 1964, Jonhn- son said: "The agricultural commodity programs developed during the past 30 years have served us well. They now are an indis- | pensible bulwark of our agri- cultural economy, Without them our food supply would be much less secure than it is today. "But they are in need of improvement. New conditions arising from the technological revolution in agriculture pre- sent a special challenge -- a challenge based upon the prob- lems of abundance rather than scarcity: 630% CIVIL RIGHTS On March 9, 1949, speaking of a proposal by President Tru- man for a civil rights law, Sen- ator Johnson told the Senate: "This ciyil rights question brings into play all those strong and evil forces of racial preju- dice. Perhaps no prejudice is so contagious' or so dangerous as the unreasoning prejudice against men because of their birth, the color of their: skin, or their ancestral background. Racial prejudice is dangerous because it is a disease of the majority, endangering minority "When we of the south arise here to speak against .. . the civil rights .proposals, we are not speaking against the Negro race. We are not attempting to keep alive the old flames of hatred and bigotry. We are, in- stead, trying to prevent those flames from being rekindled. We are trying -to tell the rest of the nation that this is not the way to accomplish what s9 many want to do for the Ne- gro." In a speech at San Angelo, Tex., Dec. 12, 1958, Johnson said he was opposed to forced integration, but he added: "We're a little late in our section in recognizing that all men. are created equal. I wish the hotheads on both sides would give us a chance to evolve a solution to this prob- lem." In explaining his vote for the 1957 Civi] Rights Bill, Johnson said, "I voted for the Civil Rights Bill- because I think everyone ought to have the right to vote, whether he's white or brown or black." On Nov. 27, 1963, in his first speech as president to a joint session of Congress, Johnson said: ". . , No memorial oration or eulogy could more elo- quently honor President Ken- nedy's memory than the earli- est possible passage of the Civil Rights Bill for which he fought so long. We have talked long enough in this country about equal rights. We have talked for 100 years or more. It is time now to write the next chapter, and to write. it in the books of law." DEFENCE In a Senate speech Jan, 23, 1958, Johnson said: "There can be no adequate defence for the United States excpt in a erservoir of trained and educated minds. "Even more important, how- ever, 'is the fact that there can be no security for the United On Variety Of Issues States or any other country In weapons. The most accurate . and destructive missile yet con- ceived can bring us nothing but a stalemate. "We prefer a stalemate: to defeat and' slavery, Let there be no mistake about that." In a speech April 20, 1964, to the annual meeting of The As- acgiateh Press in New York, he said: Pi + .. Since Korea ve have labored to build a military Strength of unmatched might. We have succeeded. If* the threat of war has lessened, it is largely because our nents realize attack would bring destruction. This effort has been costly. But the costs of weakness are far greater than the costs of strength, and the payment was far more pain- ful. That is why, in the last three years, your government has strengthened 'the whole range of aoerees defencs-- incrasing defence spendi $17,000,000,000," en DISARMAMENT. In a speech June 8, 1957, to the annual conference of. the United Jewish Appeal in New York, Johnson said: "The intercontinental ballistic missile. with a hydrogen. war- head-is just over the norizon, It is no longer just the disor- . derly dream of some science- fiction writer, "We must assume that our country will haye no monopoly on this weapon. The Soviets have not matched our achieve- ments in democracy and pros- perity; but they have kept pate with us in building the tools of destruction. "With such weapons ina di vided world, there will be little choice... . "We must initiate action on five objectives, eack contribu- ting to our crusade for disar- mament: "1. Controlled reduction of military forces by all countries. "2. A start on a mutual 'open skies,' foolproof inspection sys- tem, "3. A frank and open. search for a method of suspending tests of the biggest nuclear weapons, under airtight condi- tions which give-full protection against, violations, : "4, A reduction of everyone's stockpile of nuclear weapons and means for delivery under copper-riveted methods of mu- tual inspection. "5. And this is the key to ul- timate hope: a_ worldwide agreement--backed by absolute safeguards--that no nation will make any new fissionable ma+ terials for weapons purposes--~ neither the three present nw clear powers nor those whe may . soon have the capacity. On Jan. 21, 1964, Johnson commented .over nation - wide television on the disarmament conference in Geneva: "Agrement on the control and reduction and the ultimate abolition of weapons and war is not impossible as it seemed for so Many years. We now have a limited nuclear test ban treaty. We now have an emergency communication link, a hot line between Washington and Mos- cow. We now have an agree- ment in the United Nations to keep bombs out of outer space, "These are all small steps, but they go in the right direc: tion, the direction of security and sanity and peace. Now we must go further." FOREIGN AID In a luncheon speech at Ty- ler, Tex., Aug. 21, 1953, Johnson said unless the situation changes and "some nations put their houses in order, I have voted for my last foreign aid bill."' In a Senate speech, June 29, 1956, as Senate majority leader, Johnson said: "There is no blinking the fact, Mr. President, that the Ameri- can people are not convinced that today's program serves American national interest, The American people are doubtful that interest is .any longer served by continued economic assistance to many nations and peoples far from our shores." Principals will be at their 8th. ° ROSS BACKUS, » K.
