Be ee a we $2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, Mey 31, 1967 Iroquois Indian Receives Little Historical Recognition LONDON (CP)--A Canadian professor says the history books have given the Iroquois a raw eal. "Tf it hadn't been for the Iro- quois," says Professor George Elmore Reaman, "we wouldn't have our Canada as we see it today. The Iroquois saved Can- ada for the British Empire." Reaman, 77, has spent three years of research to refute long- held arguments that the Iro- quois were ferocious scalpers who beat their squaws and tor- tured their white victims with savage joy. "The Iroquois were basically peace - loving," said Reaman, whose book, The Trail of the Iroquois Indians, now has been erick Muller. Editions also are to be printed in Canada and the United States. "It was the white man who taught the Iroquois to scalp." Reaman, who maintains the Jesuits gave the Iroquois the reputation of being ferocious, says his book on the tribe is the first written by a British- Canadian. A native of Concord, Ont., the author retired as head of the English department at the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph in 1954. He later be- came director of adult education at the University of Waterloo.

' Church Quits Censoring Films MONTREAL (CP)--The Ro- man Catholic Church no longer will forbid its French-Canadian} members to see films it con-| 'siders immoral, it was an-| jnounced Tuesday. A spokesman for the church, said a "moral evaluation" of each motion picture will be pub-| lished, leaving the final decision| to the individual. | The church ormer!ly rated) films on a scale from "for stand against the Americans.|everybody" to "forbidden." The new policy is designed to) inform the faithful about the positive "human and Christian" young people. The Catholic agency screens the films with a 10-member and a university student. Noise, Shock Helps Addicts Kick Habits OTTAWA (CP) -- Alcoholics and cigarette smokers are be- ing helped to kick their habits by treatment with electric shock and blasts of loud noise, the Ca- nadian Psychological Associa tion was told Tuesday. Dr. Hy Day of the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital, Toronto, told the association's annual meeting that problem drinking can be "unlearned" by linking it with something the alcoholic does not like. Dr. Day and co - workers David Evans and Ron Lange- Reaman maintains the Iro-\values of the film, its artisticjvin have helped alcoholics stop quois were in' essence United|merits, and its suitability for| drinking completely by using blasts of "white noise." In half-hour daily sessions in a laboratory, the drinkers were 'them came to Canada, the larg-|team made up of three priests,/offered glasses of alcohol and est single group to come into|two married couples, a teacher,|mix, a soft drink and water.

Since then two have remained abstinent 'and two went back to heavy drinking. The centre lost con-| tact with the other two. | RETURN FOR 'BOOSTERS' | Dr. Day says results could be improved by having the pa- tients return for "booster shots" of the treatment as weekly and then monthly intervals after they have been released from hospital. Paul Gendreau, a doctoral psychology student at Queen's University, said treatment with electric shock had helped a group of cigarette smokefs give up smoking. After one 20 - minute treat- treated gave up smoking en- tirely for 250 days, the duration of the study. Three others cut down by 70 to 80 per cent and only two failed altogether. The researchers lost contact with the other man in the group. During the treatment session the subject was asked to light up 10 cigarettes. Each time he lit one, he got a two - second shock through electrodes on his arms. If he put the cigarette out,.the shock stopped. Mr. Gendreau said results of the test were "very promising" and the federal health depart- ment is studying the method with a view to using it on a large-scale basis. STRIKE TIME LOSS REGINA (CP)--Working time lost by non-agricultural wage earners on strike in Saskat- chewan was one-eighth the Ca- nadian average between 1961 and 1965, Labor Minister Lionel Coderre said. Average time lost was 19 minutes per worker annually; the national average Radioactive Wire Effective In Treating Some Cancers TORONTO (CP)--Tiny bits of radioactive chromium wire im- planted in cancers which resist treatment by surgery or other radiation have been "promis- ing" in controlling a variety of cancers in 25 patients at the University of Chicago. Dr. Melvin Griem, chief of radiation therapy at the univer- sity hospitals, described the technique to a session of the American Radium Society con- vention Tuesday. In a second paper, a team of New York physicians said treat- ment with tiny radioactive parti- cles injected into arteries lead- ing to body organs may control the spread of cancers. Dr. Griem said one of his 25 patients is free of symptoms [lower bowel. He said the pa- tients received 31 separate im- |plants for cancers of the head, neck, female reproductive ur- gans, breasts and the lower bowel, with most showing good results on clinical examinations. The advantages of the wire over other forms of radiation used for implantation is that the chromium does not have to be removed because it does uot re- act with tissue. The wire, which has a radia- tion life of 28 days, provides in- tensive radiation in a localized area without endangering sur- rounding tissue. After 28 days, radiation drops below a point of concern. Wire bits can be placed in the body before an incision s closed in areas where all can- cer cannot be removed by sure gery. Others can be placed with- 7% years after receiying wire ment, three of the 10 men being was 159 minutes. implants for a cancer of the out surgical procedure.
