Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Hayfield Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher Brian Sleight General Manager SATURDAY APRIL 1m PIII We Differ With Americans But They Are Our Friends Most Canadians probably subscribe to the laudatory remarks bout the United States expressed by Wharton Russell Oriilia lawyer who addressed the Kiwan is Club of Barrie this week But there will be much less agreement with his assertion that criticism of the us is en tirely unjustified by the people of Can ado Friendshi existing between Canada and the has always been held up as an example to the world The Americ ans and the Canadians respect one anoth er and they cross and recross the inter national border by the millions every year Their trade and commerce is car ricd on on the grade scale to the delight of governments of both nations But having conceded this it would be entirely improper and bit silly too to nore the fact that Canadians have had eir reasons to be annoyed by their big neighbor to the south Spefically there was the incident of felv years ago when big US motor car manufacturer gave orders to its Canadian subsidiary not to deliver cars to Communist China Ap proximately 1000 vehicles were involv ed In recent months there has been the Cuban affair and the American attempt to boycott that tiny dictatorship There has been no dispute between Canada and the US about the Castro re gime Canada hates Communism as much as the US but it prefers to deal with Reds in its own way The US rath er blunt and heavyvbanded way of re questing all other North American powers not to trade With the Cubans did not win too many friends on the Can odlan side of the border The fact that Canada fell in line largely with basic US plans to restrict strategic goods to Cuba did not change the conclusion that th has overstepped the good neigh bor policy at times to achieve its own ec onomic and political ends Despite these obvious annoyances there has been no slackening in regard of Canadians for their American cousins We feel and with good reason that any differences that separate the two countries can be ironed out in diplomatic drawing rooms or at conference tables True friendship is not destroyed by motor car deal or by differences over smalltime illogical dictator like Fidel Castro of much greater concern to Can adians is the problem of increasing traf fic of US tourists to Canada We also want more of US financial help in de veloping Canadian industry regardless of the illfounded claim that American in vestments will lead to economic domin ation We need more than their dollars of course We as Canadians alwa want to believe we can cross the bor er and be welcomed and respected as the best of friends and neighbors We want the Am ericans to feel the same we about us We will probably criticize em in the future just as they have found fault at times with us But this should not change the icture unless we start taking too mucili notice of alsrmlsts who read

Then There Were Eight By Paul Molloy Mr Molloy is TV colum nistcritic and has received awards for his journalistic work but most people are more impressed with the fact that he is the father of eight children slx girls and two boys In this book the author re lates anecdotes and stories about the children as well as some of the problems and the fun in having large family They didnt have large house or lot of money but they had other comncnsations Ds clpllne is important in large family and tho nullr rm wife wereflrm believers in this Each child hclps another and as they get old enough they also help around the house Mr and Mrs Molloy make It clear that they as parents are in charge of the house and that mutiny of any sort will not be tolerated They have two forms of punishment which they find ef fective that is spanking in the earlier years and withdrawal of privileges when they are older Mr Molloy feels that there is nothing in the world that matches the fun he enjoys with his family and hers ha shar es his experiences id Helping The Needy By DON OHEARN TORONTO There are some zpeople in the welfare field today who bellevetluit our large pro fessional rt organi zations have been growing out of hand They feel that they spend too much money an administration and too little on charity This of course applies particu larly in the big cities where some of theSe organizations have very big budgets Nobody in thls province is closer to tlle over all welfare situation than James Band deputy mlnister of the provln cial department And it is notable the way Mr Band handles these organiza tions in his annual reportto his minister He doesnt say anything di rectly against diam He does say this in passing mention Questions may arise In an examination of the role of the professional agencyor as to the pressure groups that some tlmes form part of commu nity organizations Perhaps more pertinent how ever is the fact that he has high praise for another group in the community welfare effort SMALLER VOLUNIEERS This is the small local vollt untary organization attached to churches fraternal societies clubs and other benevolent groups There is no question about these the deputy says They be long Here are some of his words There can be no question that there is an important and essential place for the neigh borly and informal endeavors of the smaller voluntary groups within the social welfare pro gram of this province This is true particularly in relation to assisting individuals or families In temporary dis tress in undertaking special welfare projects and in some instances giving leadership in developing neighborhood serv ices for children families or elderly persons all without tl administrative proces eel DOLLAR DEMAND Which leads to the question of whether the government will eventually move to exercise more control over some of our professional charities It would seem inevitable that It will Not only is the government giving some form of assistance or subsidy to most of the or ganlzed charities but the over all charity dollar is only so big and the demands on it are grow ing ceaselessly And it would appear impera tive that sooner or later it will be up to government to see it is spent as wisely as possible privately as well as publicly COPIER PLACES SPIKE COVENTRY England AP Dangllng from helicopter the great bronze

item about whether to sleep on soft or hard mattress if you have back trouble The answer was that firm one is best and you can make soft sur face firmer by placing boards between the springs and the mattress would like informa tion about the size of the boardsMR5 Back trouble includes many different possibilities recognize however that firmer sleeping surface is fre quently all that is needed to correct annoying but not criti cal back pains And also know that thousands of times doc tor says Try using bed tboard to stiffen the mattress it And when the patientgets home suddenly he realizes that he Isnt sure just what is meant by bed board Thats Just what your ques tion signifies Isnt it Anything that keeps the springs from sagging too much and prevents makingyou sleep in saggy curve is satisfac tory for sushi bed board It could be several lengths of or dinary boards so long as they are sufficient to stiffen the mat tress But the handlest bed board is just piece of ordinmy ply wood or similar composition or plain boards like those used to extend your dining room table You could get boards cut to the size of the mattress but the mattress doesnt sag much at the head orthe fast So for practical purposes piece as wide as the mattress and about four feet long in the other direction is adequate bed board is not an answer to buck trouble What kind of back trouble damaged disc Arthritis of the spine severe sprain or some other defect theres serious flaw whether acute or chronic it should be diagnosed carefully and treated appropriately But there are countless peo pie with minor back ailments or people who wake up with achy backs lo the morning be cause they have slept all night on beds that sag too much For them about two or three dol lara worth of bed board can do more than all the pills or linlmenta ever invented Anyway thats the answer about the size of bed board As wide as the bed and about as long as the length from your head to your hips Dear Dr Molner am so and bothered with lot of gas on my stomachf have had stomach trouble for years and xrays showed have peptic ulcer of the duodenumwlilch have been bsbying along Do ulcers ever develop into tumors Is there any way of telling whether an ulcer is ma lignant without biopsy None of my doctors has advised an operationC Duodenal ulcers are quite clmmon Having them become malignant is rare Stomach as contrasted with duodenal ul cera should be regarded with nus icion duodenal ulcer does be come malignant this would be suggested by one or more sig nificant changes First change in the ulcerated area which xrays would show blood in the stool anemia loss of weight Evidently none of these sign has occurred in your case The gas may be due to narrowing of the outlet of the stomach due to scarring from the ulcer or from some ell tlrely unrelated factor as balky gall bladder or an un flptnisive habit of airswallow NOTE To GH1 No you are mistaken The sacroiliac is joint albeit the degree of motion is
