Do you think arthritis is primarily an old persons disease? Well, if you do, you're wrong. + This is j ust one of the many mistaken notions that have grown around this serious disease. If arthritis were not so serious the ° amount of ignorance about it would be less dangerous. But over a million Canadian men, women and children are affected by it, 285,000 are disabled and 63,000 are confined to a bed or wheel- chair. 'Treatment is not a matter of waiting me of individualized care which may in- volve a combination of rest, physiother- apy, occupational therapy and drugs. It is a team effort and the patient himself is an important member of that team, without his determination to overcome his arthritis, little can be done. Early diagnosis and prompt treat- ment are essential, the most difficult cases to handle being those where crip- pling has been allowed to go untreated Vital Fradido The writer of a letter to the editor takes exception to a recent newspaper advertisement which includes "The right to compete for business" in a list of those human freedoms which we should "all value. Rubbish, says he. The right to com- pete for business is not in any way-com- parable with such basic human rights as that of freedom of expression, trial by jury, etc. . .. Well, he is entitled to his opinion. We can't help but wonder, though, just how long he would be free to say and do a great many things, writing letters to newspapers among them, once the right to compete for business was gone. If this century has taught us any- thing at all, it is surely that political freedom does not long survive the loss of economic freedom of this kind. Which is one good reason why the great ma- jority of Canadians have repeatedly de- nied political power to those who, one way or another, would have taken away the right to compete for business. The truth, of course, is that any state in which men and women are forbidden to compete for business, or in which there is no business to compete for, is a slave state, call it what you will. There are plenty of countries .in the world today, alas, which prove the point. Need we name them?

The Canadian Arthritis and Rheuma- tism Society urges you to check with your family doctor at the first warning signs: --persistent pain or stiffness on arising --pain and tenderness i in at least one joint --swelling in at least one joint.

Too Much Must It is time for officials of the govern- ment, particularly in the income tax. di- vision, to be less demanding and more polite towards the customers. The customers in this case are the ~ people who have to pay personal income ~ taxes," or who have to remit regularly some sums of money for other people. There is too much of the demand and not enough of the request in all their communications concerning the pay- ment of money to the Receiver General of Canada, required" would sound better than that word "must". After all, payments made to Ottawa are made to servants of the people, not masters. If everyone in Canada refused to pay taxes, it could be that the Recei- ~ ver General and all persons under him would have to seek their sustenance by holding a tin cup at the business corners --The Printed Word THE TROUBLE WITH TRAVELLING ~~ We did a fair amount of travelling this _ summer. There's nothing left from it but a pile of travel folders and 12 equal monthly payments at the bank. But I thought the lesat IT could do was to pass along a few tra- vel notes to those planning a trip, or wish- ing they'd taken one. Y First of all, don't wish, just do it. If you wait until you can afford a trip you'll be too old to enjoy it. There's nothing more pitiful than those tottering old wrecks you'll see on any cruise, who have put off "The Trip" until the children are grown, the mortgage is paid and Dad has' retired.

There's na charge as he's paid. by the air-rail-hotel people. Also, it's reassuring when you arrive in a strange city at midnight, to be able to wave that re- servation in the desk clerk's face, even though it's for the wrong date. How to get there? If it's a long haul, and your time si limited, and your legs are short, flying is your best bet. It's dull, cramped, the baggage handling is little short of vandalism, and there's always a long ride into town from EAR EON BE Ra 50 YEARS AGO 3 Wed, September 13th, 1916 At a "recent Port Perry 25 YEARS AGO Thurs., September 18th, 1941 About 60 friends gathered T Ii ees , Yap © 10 YEARS AGO Hon.
