Titanic Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 18 Hayfield Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher Brian Sleight General Manager WEDNESDAY JAN Pu gust Stop Strangulation Canadian Magazines Prime Minister Dlefenbakerthis week nounced his governments plans to otect the Canadian magazine publish industry Some of the recommenda ons of the Royal Commission on Pub cations will be carried out he an ounced Principally the Government 111 use tariffs and allow advertisers in socalled Canadian editions of us agazmes to deduct only half the cost such advertising for income tax pur seS This is welcome news to these con rernéd about the survival of the Cana ian magazine industry Competitive magazines are to newspapers such The Examiner for national advertis dollars we view the maintenance of is portion of our national press as aim iob for Parliament to undertake We have reviewed in past editorials he problems Canadas magazines face competing with the socalled Cana lanleditions of US magazines which little more than dump their pro uctiln Canada at costs our magazines annot meet And just as we would be concerned bout the dumping of textiles we must concerned about the dumping of agazlnes The main cost of publica on is borne by the parent edition in he us This edition is altered slightly or Canadian consumption in the case Time by the insertionof four pages Canadian news edited in the US In he case of Readers Digest not even his amount of Canadianizlng is done So with the bulk of the expensive dltorlal matter produced in the US or the parent magazine the costs of reducing the Canadian Edition are ridiculously small in comparison with Canadian magazines Our own magazines pay the entire costs of their editorial matter out of revenues derived from home advertising We who take seriously this matter of our Canadian identity must also take seriously the maintaining of Canadian magazine industry run by Canadians and for Canadian purposes Freedom of the press is not con cern in this as the us magazines are still free to distribute their home edi tions in Canada as do the Saturday Evening Post Newsweek and countless others Time has the opportunity of running more Canadian news in their home edition which they do not do now as those who have travelled in the 115 and bought the US edition realize The OLeary commission did not pro pose the elimination of these Canadian editions but did propose that Canadian advertisers in these editions not be al lowed to deduct the cost of such adver tising from income on which tax is paid This in effect would increase the cost of advertising in these publications and give the true Canadian magazines somewhat improved competitive posl tion The governments legislation would not follow this entirely but will allow half of the deduction for income tax purposes that Canadian advertisers can claim as business expenses for the ad vertlslng they buy in foreign magazines printed in Canada We agree that these steps are neces sary to stop the slow strangulation of the Canadian magazine industry Cana dian magazines must havea better chance for survival National MCA Week Since the Young Mens Christian As ociatlon was founded the concept Christian youth training has spread round the world The reasons for its obvious success appear to lie in simple explanationa commonsense approach to training in citizenship The YMCA treases Christian principles of good ellowship sportsmanship and friend hip tolerance to the other persons oint of view and willingness to live in ease and friendship with those whose ideas ideals and beliefs differ from our own To implement its ideals three pronged program has been devised and is actively carried out first bodily exer cise to promote vigor and physical well Oiher Edit PUBLIC KEEPS ASKDIG Montreal Star The fact is that total expenditures by overnment are not going to be reduced The public demands and will get more and more services the money for which must come from either taxes or borrow ing To render these burdens bearable the economy will have to be stimulated so that the national gross product will steadily rise VETERINARIANS TOO FEW Family Herald veterinary college for Western Canada has again been asked for by the Canadian Veterinarian Medical Association This is becomingalmost an annual request but the veterinar ians meeting lntheir annual convention in Banff Alta made strong case this year on the grounds that the shortage of qualified veterinarians is not only of major concern to the live stock industry but to welfare of the people in all walks of life At present there are only two vet erinary college in Canadathe Ontario Veterinary College at Guelph Ont and the School of Veterinary Medicine at st Hyacinthe Que

re gardless of creed Todays world of changing values has crying need for intelligent leader ship What tomorrows problems will be no man can tell But one thing is cer tain the need for leadership will not diminish Its the aim of the YMCA to train tomorrows leaders today Thats the meaning of the current YMCA Week to focus attention on the Ys program of training leaders and the opportunity to support this program through the nationwide Canadian YMCA Youth Fund for $1817000 now in progress 013 itution is bound to give preference to Ontario students Applicants from other provinces are said to be taken on loosely defined quote basis There fore the opportunities for Western boys to receive veterinary training are lim ited tova small percentage who have knowledge of the French language and who may or may not be admitted to the st Hyacinthe school and to the limited number that may be accepted at the OVC as determined by the classroom and laboratory limitations It is suggested therefore that fac ulty of veterinary medicinebe establish ed at one of the western universities and the University of Alberta is men tioned as possible location It is admitted however that the initial ex pense would be from $3000000 to $5 000000 The fact remains however that veterinarians are too few and far between and this coupled with expand ing populations both human and live stock would seem to amplify

CAUTIOUS TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH Bleedingfrorn Mouth May Indicate By JOSEPH MOLNER MD Dear Dr Molnar Does blecd lng of the mouth come with hiatal hernia have such hernia of the siomach and would like to know if proper diet and loss of weight would help Is it possible for biutal hernia to shrink or would medication help All Histalor hiatus hernia is not one in theexaci sense of the usual abdominal hernia or rupture Rather it is hernia or fault which is entirely in ternal at the point at which the gullet passes through the dia phragm Its very great deal more common than is popularly sup osed so it behooves people to ave mild acquaintance ship with the term As to bleeding of the mouth do understand correctly Bleeding 0F the mouth gums nose or related areas is one thing It has nothing to do tvlth hiatal hernia But bleeding FROM the mouth that is vomited blood can occur if an ulcer has formed at the hialal hernia This is not usual but it canhappen There are also cases called sliding hernias in this re beeause the intestinal corridor may slip upward or downward at the faulty point causing distress intermittently Ifas canbe doneit is as certained that bleeding is from this point an ulcer diet is re quliEd Otherwise such diet cannot be expected to reduce or shrink arcure the condl tion It may relieve discomfort worthwhile how ever SLIMMING HELPS In my experience many ps tienis with hiatni hernia are overweight women of middle age although other ages are not exempt Reduction of weight usually helps them great deal for when we gain too much weight not all of the excess is Visible Some is in the form of fat inside the abdomen and it causes crowding and pressure This certainly can irritate hiatal hernia which otherwise might not be problem at all As to medication yes it can occasronally be used tocounter act acidity and inhibit spasm and thus be helpful in treating the condition In some cases surgery is the correct and only solution in cases in which symptoms are severe repeated bleeding occurs there is persis tent pain or difficulty in swal lowing For the most part treatment such as for moderate cases of peptic ulcer is best For severe cases surgerywhich is true of ulcers too of course Dear Dr Mahler Next sum mer will be 15 would like to get my nose done at that tune My mother says am too Young and Ishould wait until am at least lever 17 However she does
