I She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St, E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1964----PAGE 6 Waiting For Accidents To Punish Bad Drivers An important point was made by J. B. Humphrey, president of the All Canada Insurance Federation, in a recent address, He was discuss- ing insurance conditions, and made particular reference to the problem of traffic safety. One of his obser- vations was that "our courts only cancel driving privileges after an accident or after a conviction has 'been registered," which means that "an accident-prone alcoholic with a long series of minor offences can drive with impunity until he gets eaught, And he is most often caught after, not before, he causes a ser- ious accident." There is no doubt that. a major break-through would be achieved if an effective system could be de- vised to remove the causes of ac- cidents before they happen -- and the major cause is the driver who, for physical, emotional or other reasons, is in fact an accident wait- ing to happen, The Ontario point system is @ constructive step in that direction, but Mr. Humphrey could not help "but wonder if one of the causes of our trouble in this country is not due to the fact that our laws in regard to impaired and drunken drivers are among the most lenient in the world ... Some other coun- tries have achieved notable safety records: through more , stringent measures. In Norway, for example, impaired driving brings a manda- tory three-week jail sentence and a second offence means lifelong suspension of driving privileges. Sweden almost invariably jails drunken drivers for a year, These countries also allow breathealizer tests." A really effective before-accident program may be impossible to achieve, But sterner measures to remove erring drivers after acci- dents are not possible but highly necessary, Port au Port Record Canada needs a much bigger po- pulation -- and Newfoundland is doing its best to answer the need, The Newfoundland birth rate is 32 per 1,000, one of the highest in the world -- higher even than India's, for example. When UN statisticians compiled a report in 1961, they found the Newfoundland birth rate exceeded only-by Mexico, Venezuela and Ceylon. What the statisticians did not examine was the reason for this burst of fertility in Canada's island province, The baby bonuses may have something to do with it, along with Newfoundland's slow but ap- preciable betterment in living stan- dards, But there may be another, more realistic clue, The Newfound- land rate varies from place to place. In good-sized St. John's, the capital, the rate of 28, below the provincial average. But in the west coast fish- ing community of Port au Port, it's an amazing 63 -- which the Finan- cial Post suggests may well be high- est rate of any on earth, The Post also suggests that the sociologists should hie themselves to Port au Port and see what goes on there; some of them, perhaps, would never come back but settle down to a life of cod, cradles and contentment. Well, we've been in Port au Port, and we're afraid the explanation is fairly prosaic, When the cod fish- ing's done, what else is there to do in Port au Port? Other provinces, however, are also making healthy contributions to the Canadian population, Ontario and Quebec have approximately the same birth rate for the first six months of this year, at 25 babies born per thousand of population, but there were, of course, more babies born in Ontario than in Que- bec in the first six months -- 77,- 764 to 67,602 -- and there were more marriages, 19,830 to 12,618, The "revenge of the cradle", in- cidentally, seems to be a dead issue. Alberta and the three Maritime provinces are all now producing children at a faster clip than Que- bec. Tribute To The Trees Next week comes the annual period set aside for the publicizing and glorification of forest products, and this provides a good reason for giving some thought to the original product, the tree, Only the people who have lived all their lives on the tundra or sand deserts can understand what life is without trees. From his beginnings man's life has been intimately con- nected with the trees that have grown about him -- and outlived him, because they are the oldest, biggest and tallest living things. They have given him shelter, cloth- ing and food, Made into a wheel, they contributed possibly more than any other single invention to his progress. Made into ships, they enabled' him to begin his struggle to escape the bonds of earth. When man destroys the trees, he destroys himself as the water he Bye Oshawa Times T. L, WILSON, Pub®sher Cc.

The ¥rees felled for King Solomon helped to condemn genera- tions to come to a bitter struggle against a hostile land, When a woodsman puts an axe or saw to a tree he may be killing a silent witness to centuries of his- tory. Many of the Douglas firs in the forests of British Columbia are more than six hundred years old; they were giarfts before the first white men's ships poked their prows into the Straits of Georgia. In the rings of California's sequo- ias can be read the record: of the dry years chronicled in the Bible.

This daily print is Hansard, which is the official verbatim report of the proceedings in the House of Commons, It is printed five days each week, reporting the questions and debates of the sittings held' normally from Monday through Friday, Al- though the debates continue un- til 10:30 p.m. most nights, Han- sard is available on Parliament Hill first thing the following morning, At present 11,451 copies of the English - language report are distributed each day, and of these 4,914 are paid sales, The French language version enjoys a daily distribution of 2,901 copies of which 794 are paid for Hansard is distributed free to all MPs, to the many govern- ment officials concerned with the proceedings in Parliament, and to the Press Gallery, On the other hand, many cor- porations, colleges, libraries and associations wish to receive Hansard daily--as do a certain number of private individuals, For instance; I know the wife of a friend of mine, a former MP who was beaten in his Saskatchewan constituency over 10 years ago, subscribes to Han- sard and still reads it avidly every day. CHEAPEST DAILY Anyone may receive Hansard by ordering it from the Queen's Printer in Ottawa, The cost is five cents per day, or $3 per session, including postage As the present session.is ap- proaching its 140th day -- and still going strong--a_ sessional subscription works out at about two cents' per day--and this for a paper running on average from about 45 to about 70 pages per day The Queen's Printer, or gov- ernment print shop, also prints and sells a wide selection of books and pamphlets of consid- erable interest and usefulness There are, of course, all the periodical government reports and statistics which are of specialied interest, But ther? is also a wide range of pamphlets offering such things as house- hold hints, Canadiana, sports instruction and em ployment. These, like Hansard, are gen- erally available in both English and French, For example, 50 cents will bring you Eleven Remarkable Recipes for Sweet-Grass Buf- falo, enabling. you to enjoy "taste thrills from the 19th cen- tury."' However, if your groce- teria does not stock 'buffalo, you may find more use for Fish for Year-Round Salads (25 cents) or Canadian Fish Cook Book ($1.25, In a tour of the sales room, I was especially interested to note Birds of Canada's National Parks -($2.00 which is a beauti- YOUR HEALTH fully produced book vontaining 50 colored illustrations, And-one can buy descriptive booklets about our various national parks. Kootenay is the most costly \at $1,50, Prince Edward Island National Park costs half that; and Ontario National Parks are cheap at 50 cents, In view of our shocking Aug- ust weather, I was impressed by the thoughtful Aid to Work- ing in the Cold, 'The most im- portant. single fact relating to working in the north is that the cold is not as bad as it at first seems to be," begins this book- let, encouragingly, There is a. series of guides prepared by the national com- mittee appointed by the depart- ment of. labor "for the use of foremen and others who do training on the job'; for 75 cents each, these cover such employments as The Radio and Television Service Trade; Mo- tor Vehicle Repair Trade and Cooking Trade--Commercial.

MOLNER, MD By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD Dear Dr, Molner; 1 have come in contact with several people who are epileptic, Is this a mental illness? What should one do when an epileptic has a seizure? --J,.K, No, epilepsy is not a mental illness, It is a disorder in which the muscles go into convulsion, The treatment is the use of anti- cofvulsant drugs which prevent the muscles from going into sud- den, spasm, . Seizures are usually brief. In some types of epilepsy, they may last only a second or less, and nothing need be done, The patient, in. such cases, may merely pause in the middle of saying a word, then continue, as though nothing had happened, when the. convulsion passes, In the more severe attacks, in which the patient falls to the ground, all you should (or can) do is to keep him from harm- ing himself, See that he does not strike his head against some object Put a cushion or perhaps a folded coat or sweater under his head, Try-to keep him from bit- ing his tongue, A small piece of wood, a wooden pencil or the like, slipped between his teeth, will accomplish this, You could BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Sept. 14, 1949 Canada's first Farm Improve- ment and Soil Conservation Day held on the farm of Heber Down, near Brooklin, attracted 15,000 spectators, Fire Chief William Heard of Whitby, member of the Whitby Fire Department since 1911, retired due to ill health, A.

Spokesmen have reported that as usualat least in recent years--there is to. be a substan- tial boost in-rates; And, with this comes the old question whether government should not step in and take a good look at the industry, SECTION 339 Mitch Hepburn did this once, He disagreed with the, insur- ance people and so he added a few sections to the Insurance Act. One of-*these, Section 339, gives the government authority to regulate rates, The section has never been proclaimed which means it isn't actually law. And, therefore, of course, it has never been used, But, though some controls over the insurance industry generally have been tightened through the years, nobody since Mitch has shown a disposition to really swing a club. It's doubtful if the present administration would have any such inclination either, It has shown itself to be not indisposed towards the insur- ance industry. It is not beyond possibility, however, that its hand might be forced, For some time now the NDP and some Liberals, have been advocating a state insurance program The benefit of this would be that it would cut out any profits in private insurance (though the companies claim that in re- cent years they haven't been making any) and presumably would cut down on administra- TODAY IN HISTORY By The Canadian Press Sept. 14, 1964...
