hye Osharon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 4 Wadnesdoy, November 19, 1958 More Candidates Spark Interest In Elections Interest began to stir this week in the forthcoming municipal elections, Some candidates have made firm deec- larations of their intentions while other possible candidates are still testing the direction of the political winds, This is all to the good, the hemming and haw- ing and the outright campaigning. It stirs up interest, and goodnes: know{ something is needed to excite interest in elections in most municipalities, We hope that all the doubtful start- ers will make up their minds to run. We hope that people who have hitherto shown no desire to seek public office will suddenly change their minds and enter the race. The more candidates the better--again because of the greater incitement to public interest, In most places, that is a fundamental problem of municipal government: the decline in public interest in municipal * elections. There are communities in which better than 70 per cent of the eligible voters regilarly cast their bal- lots, but these are a minority, In the majority of communities, the vote ranges from the sixties downward to a shocking 30 to 40 per cent. In federal' and provincial elections the voting per- centages are much better, Yet munici- pal government is the one closest to the voter, the one that has the most immediate impact on his daily life, and probably the one that arouses most of his criticism, 4 Why, then, the decline in interest? Studies of voter psychology in recent years indicate that the increasing pow= ers of provincial and federal govern- ments, exercised so often through boards and other non-elected bodies, have tended to weaken public regard for municipal offices; also, interest de- clines when voters' choices are limited year after year to familiar candidates. Campaigns to get out the voters are useful, Even more useful, perhaps, would be campaigns to get out candi- dates. Wilderness Area Profit There has been no official announce- ment by the Ontario Government re- garding a change of mind in the matter of building more access roads in the province's wilderness parks. The strong public protest that followed the Gov- ernment's statement of intention to per- mit such roads, however, must have given Mr, Frost and his colleagues plenty of reason to doubt the wisdom of their decision. It is to be hoped that by next spring the Government will have reconsidered its policy and the threat to the wilderness areas will be removed. As the Quetico Foundation, a non- profit organization devoted to the pre- servation of wilderness parks, has pointed out, there are a number of very practical reasons for the creation and preservation of such parks--quite apart from emotional reasons. As evidence, there is the experience of the National Parks and National Forests of the United States, These are under constant attack by people whe wish to exploit them, but their admin- istrators can point to some remarkable statistics to bolster their defence, Yellowstone National Park was es- tablished in 1872 and from that date to the present U.S, policy has been to maintain at least 90 per cent of park areas in wilderness condition, allowing only 10 per cent of the areas to be giv~ en over to the development of facilities for visitors. It is important to note that in contrast to the many facilities per- mitted for the comfort and convenience of visitors in the less than 10 per cent of the wilderness areas, the only means of access to the more than 50 per cent of the wilderness area proper are by trail or canoe, i In 1957 some 55 million people visit- ed these J.S. areas, but only about one per cent of these penetrated the wil derness. The point is that the wilder- ness region acted as the magnet which attracted tourists; if it did not exist there would be little attraction in the fringe area. And the 55 million visitors spent some 51,650 million in the fringe establishments, Research And An Idea With the current emphasis on the need for scientists, it is instructive to recall what Sir Frederick Banting had to say on the subject of choosing re- search for a career, He warned a group of Edinburgh University students back in 1928, "Do not enter upon research unless you cannot help it. If through your thoughtful work you get a worth- while idea, it will get you, The force of the conviction will compel you 'o for- sake all and seek the relief of your mind in research work." It has been estimated that 10 million people are ali. today because of the worthwhile idea that "got" Sir Freder- ick and his co-worker Dr, Charles H. Best. Understandably, the supreme thrill in science is to save a life. What an abiding thrill it must be to Dr. Best and his colleagues in research to have contributed so directly to having a population about equal to that of Aus- tralia, This week marks the 37th anniver- sary of the gift, through research, of in- sulin, The Canadian Diabetic Associa- tion has declared it Diabetes Detection Week, during which, it is pointed out, it would be 2 worthwhile idea to let the idea "get" u¥ that we need to be our own researcher and, in co-opera- tion with our doctor or hospital, discov- er whether we need diabetic treat- ment, An estimated 100,000 Canadians do and don't know it, the Association reports. That is the trouble witl dia- betes -- it has grave consequences if not treated, bit only minor symptoms in the beginning. But What Does It Mean? . Ask an executive whether he consid- érs "emotional stability" essential to management success and chances are he'll answer "deffitely yes." But don't expect so clear-cut an answer if you #sk him exactly what he means by "emotional stability." Invited by Fortune magazine to ex- press their ideas on the subject, seven- ty-five top businessmen supplied 152 different concepts of emotional stabil- ity. Few questioned its importance for managers, but there was a wide diver- sity of opinion on just what it is and how one goes about developing it. ! Most executives appeared to identify motional stability with control of feel- gs, especially anger. Other definitions "inner strength that comes from being a well-integrated person"; being able to look at oneself objectively "through The Oshawa Ties 7. L WILSON, Publisher and Generel Manager. €.

One man called for the impossible: "ability to maintain come plete equilibrium in relations with per- sonalities and under any circum- stance." Director David Shepherd of Standard Oil (New Jersey), however, argued that the executive whose main job it is to get new business doesn't absolutely have to have emotional stability in or- der to be successful, A few respondents to Fortune's sure vey thought it was vital to an execu- tive to know when and how to "blow his top." One executive vice-president told Fortune that emotional - stability was "the ability, through experience, to react to situations of stress with true equanimity, and to convey this state to others who are involved. This in- cludes 'letting off steam' when such is necessary for inner balance or effect on others." Other Editor's: Views TRAINS' BEST FRIENDS (W.

SIMPKING AND HE SEEMS TO LIKE IT OTTAWA REPORT # Government Has Strong Reserves By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, now half way round the world on his 35,000 mile tour, is racking up more air miles as head of our govern- ment than all his predecessors combined. Many members of Ifis cabinet likewise cover immense distances by air, travelling around Canada and to attend important govern. ment conferences in 'other lands, How would Canada fare, if an undesirable and unlikely but al- ways possible air disaster should strike down a group of the Prime Minister's colleagues in the cabinet? The answer is that the Conserv- ative party is showing such strength in Parliament that many candidates are beginning to knock on the door, who are at least as effective as some of those now seated at the council table. . MANY UNTRIED NEW M.Ps No less than 19 Ministers in the present cabinet were picked from among the 40 Conservatives who had had experience in Par- liament before the first Diefen- baker victory. Of the other four Ministers, three are represent. atives of the 170 Conservatives who were elected to our federal Parliament for the first time on the Diefenbaker flood tide, during the past eighteen months. The fourth, Hon. Sidney Smith, for- mer president of the University of Toronto, is the only person picked from outside existing par- liamentarians for appointment to the Cabinet. Among the virtually untapped reservoir of new MPs, and among the few young veterans of those Opposition days before June 1957, there is now becoming apparent an enormous reserve of strength, Although as yet lacking in long experience of Ottawa, this rep- resents so much potential cabinet material that Prime Minister John Diefenbaker will find it almost embarrassing to try to utilise its ability, and to prevent it from running to waste through unemployment, From among these newly- elected or young-veteran Con- servative MPs now outside the cabinet, an able and promising "shadow cabinet" could be named. On the basis of their life experience and training, coupled with their parliamentary per formance, the following would be my inations for the " d team," to serve under Prime Minister Diefenbaker in the event N of that unlikely alr disaster wiping out all his present cabinet colleagues. CABINET PROSPECTS From Ontario: Minister of Fin- ance, John Hamilton (Toronto): External Affairs, David Walker (Toronto): Health and Welfare, Dr. P.

From New Brunswick: Solicitor - General, T. M. Bell (Saint John), From Newfound- land: Fisheries, J. A. McGrath (St, John's), In the case of four provinces certainly, this second team would even outshine the present Cabinet representation, Of course the newcomers would be short on ex perience, but then it must be remembered that, of the Cabinet which was sworn into office in June of last year, even the Gen- eral was a rookie in government, Coming up behind this 'second team') suggested above, there is some excellent material to fill the secondary government posts and to press hard on the heels of the Cabinet, Such would in- clude Ontario's G. E. Halpehny, Quebec's Robert Lafreniere and Heward Grafftey, Nova Scotia's R. J. McCleave, Alberta's Art Smith, P.E.I's Dr, 0, H.

Public Works, FOR BETTER HEALTH Getting False Teeth? Remember These Facts HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Call them false teeth, artificial dentures or anything you want, but sooner or later most of you will wind up wearing them. For those of you who might be planning on equipping yourselves with them in the near future, I have a few words of advice. TAKES TIME You must understand that there is a period of considerable ad- Justment following the insertion of such dentures which takes time, And your state of mind will either assist or hamper this ad- Justment. Doctors and dentists realize that age is an important factor in all phases of dental construction, The neuro-muscular co-ordination of older persons is not as good as that of younger men and women. Thus, it's natural that the older patients will require a long- er adjustment period CHANGES IN TISSUES You must realize that certain adjustments in the dentures will be necessary before you achieve a real degree of comfort. Check- ups are required after the den- ture is placed in the mouth. Changes in the mouth tissues also make examinations advisable from time to time Even during the first several days you have your new teeth you will notice that you will be able to use them more and more effectively, Another thing I want you to re member is that speech difficulties will be overcome quickly. Time will solve the problem. One way of speeding speech im- provement is to read aloud In front of a mirror. { The condition of the mouth naturally plays 7 important part in getting used to your new den- tures. Therefore, a sound diet is of the utmost importance. PROPER FOODS You need tissue-building foods rich in proteins, minerals and vitamins essential for repairing the dental ridges. For a short time after you first get your new teeth, I suggest that you eat small morsels of soft food. Soon your mouth tissues will be in condition to withstand more solid foods. You may recall that 1 have al- ways urged you (to brush your teeth after every meal, This is just as important with dentures as with your regular teeth. QUESTION AND ANSWER W. A. G.: What is acute cellu- litis and what causes it? Are there any known cures for it? Answer: Acute cellulitis is an inflammation of the tissues. Quite often, when the skin is involved, it also includes the deeper layers. This condition js generally attrib- uted to infectious conditions. ~ Antibiotics have proven helpful in the treatment of acute cellu " Council for the fiscal BYGONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Dr. 0. G.
