The Oshavon Times Published by Canedian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe 51. 8, Oshawa, Ont, Yoge 4 Move To Protect Public Interests In Wilderness News that seven subsientisl tracts of erown land in Haliburton, Vietoria and Peterborough counties will be reserved for public use is ind ed welcome, The snnouncement was made by Lands and Forests Minister J, W, Spooner, who said that ss need arises, some of the public land will made accessible by toad and will be developed ss provin- olal parks, with camping, plenicking and bathing facilities, The lands will be set aside as wilderness areas and dedicated to forest and wildlife conser~ vation and publie recreation, The general areas of reservation are: most of the west halves of Hindon and Anson townships and the east half of Digby township; a large urea in Harvey and Burleigh townships, lying generals ly between the Buckhorn road and Highway 28; an area jn Anstruther township, containing Bottle, Sucker, Rathbun, Copper and Serpentine lakes; all of Bruton and Clyde townships; a small area northeast of Bobeaygeon in Hervey and Galway townships, include ing Concession, DeGpulle, Lavery and Spinster lakes; most of the south half of township, with the ex~ ebption lake; a small area Cardiff towns Bherborne of Raven around Silent Lake in ship It is well that the government is tak« Ing some nection to ensure public access ta some of the most beautiful eountry in Narth America, The action eomes too late to preserve the publie stake In many other areas, but net too late fo protect the principle of public use in the future Particularly singe the end of World War II, urban dwellers have swarmed to the lake snd bush country to buy property and build cottages, The result has been a steady ancroachment on recs reation aress that had been public, It has become increasingly diffieult to find nocess points to lakes, rivers streams in the southern portion of th province, 8s more and more "private" and "no trespassing" signs block off benches and forest, There is no reason why the buyers should not take steps to protect their property and privacy, of course, but at the same time the government has a duty to recognize the public as well as the private right to enjoyment of these resources, The seven tracts will be set aside as wilderness areas, which will be made pecessible hy means of roads as need arises, The need will not be long in arising, The pressure on. the lake and forest country grows each year with the expanding population of the industrial centres, The need for eamping and ple« nicking areas will increase, Provision of these new areas to sccommodate the growing needs and Jemands should take the pressure off what could be termed the "true" wilderness areas such as Algonquin and Quetico parks, Readers will recall a decision by the Ontario government last year to build gecess roads into the "true" wilderness, There was strong eriticism of that move, but the government has stuck by its de« elslon==unfortunately, It was felt in many quarters that the government was thinking more of commercial revenue than of public eanvenience or wild life conservation, Now perhaps the governs ment will have some second thoughts We hope so The Important People Whe is an important and what and why? Is a pérson important because of the work he does or the in- fluence he has? Would he be an im- portant person in a different job or In a different environmen'? These queries are inspired by a recent remark made by a member of Parlia- ment during an interview, He objected to the levity with which newspaper men sometimes treated members of Parliament, and plaintively complained, "We are important people." Most people will agree that the House of Commons is an important place, and the people who sit there have an Im portant job to do, But it is questionable if a person becomes important simply because of where he sits, We know of members who have sat for years withe out contributing anything te Parlla- ment or the business of government; their great talent has heen for getting themselves elected, They were not im- portant people, as far as the Interests of thelr eountry were concerned, hes cause they always did precisely what thelr party leaders told them to do} they were, of course, important to their party because they could deliver their ridings Advances In Canada's annual Health Week, being calehrated this week, is an occasion hoth for reviewing health progress and for seeing where possibilities for furth er improvement have heen opened up by advances In medical science, it is noted in a message from Dr, M, G, Cane dau, director general of the World Health Organization, He observed that some of the most far-reaching of the advances have heen made in the pres vention and treatment of mental dis« order, and goes on to. romment One major factor in this development is the attainment of a deeper under standing of the psychological strains and stressés that, at some time in most people's lives, gravely effect social and family relationships and the individus al's capacity for work, The old hope less belief that mental disease in large ly determined by heredity and theres person, The Oshavn Times Publisher and General Manager Editar combining The Oshawa Times AF Wh thy Gazette and is published daily (Sun f xcepte flan Daily Newspapers Publish ian Press, Audit Bureau Onta » Dail whan Press in excl repuni 1) 1, bh WILSON GWYN KINSEY Oshawa Time estabiishe: | Che winelal edited ta | Vers, and al ght of spacial despatches g Steer West, Toronte, Ontarie SUBSCRIPTION RATES Alay a le a elvawhaie " AVERAGE DAILY NET PAID 16,166 This brings us to the thought that while members of Parliament are not necessarily Important people, they should be in respect to the people they directly represent and to the nation In general But here again there may be a discrepancy, There are members who represent thelr ridings so well that they submerge national Interest In regional interest, which glves them a definite local importance At this point there emerges a conflict of opinion about the method of demo~ eratie government, Is national Interest best served by a national or regional ap- proach to parliamentary affairs? It ean be argued that national Interest Is sims ply the sum of reglonal needs, and that a natlenal policy ean only he forged out of the compromises of regional demands, If this Is true then the man who is im« portant regionally is properly an ime portant man nationally Then, if you really want to stir up an argument, vou can dehate 'whether a man is Important before or after his selection as a party eandidate, and whether his importance his other assets have the most to do with his se lection None of this, of eourse, mueh to clarify the meaning of "important," Medicine fore more or less inescapable has given way hefore evidence that environmens tal factors can also exe t a great Influ- ence, particularly in early childhood This underlines the Importance of a healthy family life and a stable soelal structure as safeguards against later troubles, New knowledge has also heen gained about physical ailments in which psychological factors play a part, Studs fes of out-patients at large general hos pitals in some countries have revealed that one-third or more attend for coms= plaints traceable to psychological eauss en or does The effectiveness af psychiatrie thers apy == physical, psychological and soes lal == has Increased to a point where nowadays, If treatment Is begun early enough, seventy to elghty per cent of mental patients ean be restored to a useful place in soclety, In some coun tries the average horpitalization time for patients is less than . six months, Large numbers of mental hospitals in different countries hav heen converted inte "open door" hospitals, More and more patients enter psychiatric estab lishments on a voluntary basis, Very often it Is possible for patients te cons tinue living at home during treatment, These advances, towards whose ats tainment Canada has made many valus ahle contributions, epened up new per spectives for impro ine the health and happiness of people everywhere, Tt Is my conviction that during and after your Health Week 1030 the people of Canada will continue te co-aporate in the steps being taken all over the world toe meet these mental health problems which aps pear to grow particularly acute in per ods like our own of rapid economic and social change A special effort towards a hettel derstanding will made months will spon ored for Mental societies un he and be of these: problems he comb 1980 which Health Year during particularly in World Mental hy the World Federation Health and {ta member throughout the world, EVERYBODY SEEMS To WANT ONB THAT GOES "Two WAYS AT ONCE / IN THE OTTAWA SHOWROOM READERS' VIEWS Alternative For Davlight Saving Dear Bir An editorial in the Times men tioned that the annual mix-up In ecommection with Daylight Raving Time is starting early this year and suggested that the confusion and argument could be avoided by a nation-wide observance of Daylight Baving Time at sel dates The suggestion is not democrat fe, wince it would force an un desirable change In living pro. cedure on a large number of Ca nadians In an arbitrary manner Here Is a betler suggestion Why not do away with Daylight Raving Time altogether?
