Page 6 Wednesday, June 1, 1960 Living Could Be More Courageous Than Dying Liberal Leader Lester Pearson bullet or the ripping blast of a great i f stirred up a bit of a storm recently when, in answer to a question, he said that "if I had to make a choice, 1 would live under Khrushchev rather than die, and do what I could to throw Mr. Khrushchev and his type out of power." He has been called a coward and worse. Typical of the sort of com- ment made was this: "Does Mr, Pear- son value slavery and boot-kissing more than death, atomic or other- wise? Not I! I would rather die a free man, fighting like a free man." Mr. Pearson's critics seem to have missed the point of his remark. He would live in order to do what he could "to throw Mr. Khrushchev and his type out of power." That, we suggest, would take more in- genuity and cool courage than simply ending one's life in a blaze of gun- fire. Those who had anything to do with the underground movements in Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II will appreciate just how much courage it takes to keep on living and fighting when the odds seem hopeless. Often the easy way out is to die, particularly when death ean come swiftly with the impact of a Coddling Of Crown Attorney Alex Hall had some harsh things to say the other day about the tendency to mollycod- dle lawbreakers. He was referring to some public attitudes. At about the same time, an Ameriean psychiatrist, Dr. Sidney Bolter of Northville State Hospital, Michigan, was taking just as sharp a view of the lawbreaker himself, He declared that many eriminals are avoiding prison by counterfeiting insanity and thus es- caping into mental hospitals, when they should be in penal institutions. Speaking before the American Psychiatric Association, Dr. Bolter declared that putting criminals into mental hospitals was tantamount to "issuing them an insurance policy against their further punishment for their actions." He referred, he said, to, a group of criminals "unwilling to give up their instinctive gratification for acceptance by the community." Not bothered in the slightest by con- science, they seek only to slip through the law and find refuge in a mental hospital. He gave the example of a criminal living in-a mental hos- After a detailed survey of the driving and social habits of 20,000 uniors and seniors in 30 high schools n the United States and Canada, a Shicago insurance company has dis- svered that a boy driving a car and 10lding & part-time job to get money o run it doesn't do as well in his udies as his pedestrian pal.

The question asked of Mr. Pear- son suggests a situation-in which the Soviet leader had triumphed over Canada, either as a result of military victory, or some other means--that the Russians had won a war, and that surviving Canadians had a choice of life or death thereafter; in other words, that the battles had al- ready accounted for their sum of dead. The question itself is highly hypothetical, since few men know just how they would act in such a time of crisis, under wholly unpre- dictable circumstances. The man who talked about a hero's death might be the most abject seeker after life, and Mr. Pearson might be the first to fling himself on the bayonets. Still, it is worth thinking about, because' it probes deep into the being of man. The ease with which man slips into war has been attributed to his own sub-conscious death wish. Death may indeed often be the simple solution, with heroic life the difficult one. There was another answer given by Mr. Pearson: "I want to do what I can to make the choice unneces- sary." And to that we all can'sub- scribe. Criminals pital who was sane enough to manage his own affairs successfully by tele- phone, He admitted many of these were fll in some way but "the line of re- sponsibility for one's action has to be drawn somewhere." A survey of the psychiatric clinic of the New York Court of General Sessions--a division of Bellevue Hospital -- covering 26 years, showed that the insane, the neurotic and the mentally defective together do not exceed four or five per cent of total individuals involved in major crime, It covered 47,000 per- SONK. The law permits an accused to plead insanity and the psychiatrist is the specialist on whom the court largely relies. If criminals escape pun- ishment through the service of a psy- chiatrist, then it may be a case of psychiatric principles 'being misap- plied through lack of knowledge and a desire to be progressive, the London Free Press thinks. The harsh reality of crime is that it breaks the law and injures the community, which must be pro- tected. i! School Marks And Cars crowded with their driving. They have also proven to the satisfaction of the insurance companies that their driving is about on a par with their scholastic accomplishments. It is the traffic record of young males that boosts the cost of insurance for all automobile owners, according to an insurance official. Everybody pays for their disregard for their won safe- ty and the well-being of others using the roads. Their parents are touched for a bonus premium if they let them drive the family car. Research officials who studied the ratio of scholastic ability and automobile drivers have found that good students who are given a car to drive suffer the sharpest drop in grades. They find that the longer a car has been owned by the boy, the less is the chance of his being a good - student. It is discovered that the greatest scholastic damage occurs when a high school junior gets a car. Statistics prove that among stu- dents with neither a car job, there are twice as many 'A' and 'B' students as among students with jobs the more evenings a nor and cars, and car is used by a high school boy the more apt are his grades to fail. It took a lot of time and money for the insurance company to prove something that school teachers have known ever since fond parents. be- lieved their boy was different, and was quite capable of driving a car, doing part-time work, and keeping up with his studies. He can't do it. ------ NoVA SCOTIAN Asks MPs To BACK CANADIAN TARTAN -- NEWSPAPER HEADLING ARRANGEMENT of BLACK ao BLUE WE'RE USUALLY m-Me RED Too/ 2 THAT BARREL WAS WORN OUT ANYWAY QUEEN'S PARK Emotions Hinder Fluorine Hearing By DON O'HEARN Toronto -- The reaction of re- porters who covered the hearings of the fluoridation committee was that there was too much emotion- alism for much real progress to be made. Some of them would come up- stairs from the committee room saying, 'They are all nuts." The sessions the writer sat in on didn't bear this out. But it was apparent that for the most part feelings were so emotional that the thinking and argument was not too clear. For instance the Health League of Canada said that those who opposed fluoridation on the ques- tion of civil rights were those who felt the most prized liberty a citizen of Canada could have was "the right to bad teeth if he so desires." And unfortunately the whole discussion of this key question of rights was quite superficial. ANY ANSWER It would seem most doubtful if changing world there is a trend away from democracy and partic- ularly that aspect of it which centres on the right of the in- dividual. Some of this, of course, is nec- essary. But without an opposition * it j could get out of hand. A healthy democracy requires J another side fighting bagk. the committee can come up with any generally satisfactory solu- tion, To do so it will need wisdom which would make Solomon look like a race tract tout The feelings on this question are probably even stronger than those on liquor preceding prohibi- tion They are so strong that eves reporters are influenced One newspaperman covering the hearings was writing his own rebuttal of "anti" arguments inte his copy as he reported it Another, despite what had hap pened during the day, invariably started his lead with the argue ments of the *"antis."

Under the pressures of our FOR BETTER HEALTH To Keep Feet Healthy Give Them Proper Care HERMAN. N. BUNDESEN, MD Judging from the way most of us use the family car every time we want to go anywhere, feet may become obsolete in time. But until they do, let's take good care of them. Elderly persons, in particular, are inclined to become a little careless about their foot gear and while those of us who are working and meeting the public every day wegr leather oxfords out of neces- sity, many of the older folk tend to wear more flimsy shoes IMPROPER FOOTWEAR Dr. Benjamin Kauth, director of the American Foot Care In- stitute, advises me that sneakers and shoes of rubber, plastic or canvas, tend to trap moisture around the foot. This could lead to the development of athlete's foot and certain other foot diseases, Flimsy shoes also rob the feet of the support they require, no matter what your age might be. FEET SHOULD "BREATHE" In past columns I have stress- ed the desirability of leather shoes which permit the feet to "'breathe". Dr. Kauth says this is just as advisable for elderly men and women as it is for anyone else. An ideal shoe for older persons ¢ a laced oxford with leather ppers and a leather sole. Not only do these shoes offer support, but the, are pliable and they stay And, as I have already pointed out, leather contains millions of microscopic pores which permit free passage of air around the foot and allow foot moisture to evaporate. 1 have always suggested that high' heels be worn only when the occasion demands such a sur- render to style. Elderly women especially should avoid high heels as much as possible. They should restrict the wearing of such shoes to 'special occasions. CIRCULATION AFFECTED Tight shoes, tight socks, gar- ters or long underwear can cause PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM If the world had more foolkill- ers, it would need far fewer peacemakers It's a great pity that, due to the force of gravity, it takes more energy to close the mouth than to open it. disturbances in the circulation of the foot and leg. Sometimes this results in foot cramps. If you suffer from foot cramps, eliminating undue pressure on the legs and feet might solve the problem. Wearing bed socks to éep the feet warm at night is often helpful, too. DRINK MILK Drink plenty of milk to get more calcium into your body. If the cramps are very trouble some, taking quinine at bedtime might be beneficial If none of these measures help, your doctor can prescribe drugs, such as cortisone, which will probably do the trick.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) dent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Work has at last started on the most ambitious road project undertaken in Lon- don since the close of the second world war. It is a project aimed at completely transforming the notorious nerve - shattering traf- Way Yard erection of further bar- riers was postponed for 24 hours so that the effects on traffic could be studied. Erection of barricades outside St. George's Hospital was postponed. Inside Green Park, preliminary work was started on moving back the drains and main services affected by the under- PORN IGRI ity of St. George's Hospital, there will be no night work on the project, Eventually, 300 men will be working full-time on the scheme, Already equipment valued at £250,000 has been assembled on the site. Apart from the tunpel, the pro- ject will include constructing a double underpass under Hyde Paik Corner, doubling the width of Park Lane to make it a dual road, remodelling of the traffie circuses at both Hyde Park Cor ner and the Marble Arch and the construction of 18 pedestrian sub- ways. Yes, in a little over two years time, things should be a great deal different for troffic in this fic nightmare at Hyde Park Cor- pass. On account of the proxim- part of Central Lonlon, ner. The project envisages an underpass from Piccadilly to Knightsbridge, and a compl re-routing of the traffic flowing in other directions. According to estimates, the scheme will cost several million pounds, and it will take from 24 to 28 months te complete it. And during these two years, the hideous confusion which at present reigns around Hyde Park Corner is going to be even more hideously confounded. But it will be worth it when the T is p some time late in the summer of 1962 FIRST HOLE BORED I was down at Hyde Park Con mer when the first blow was struck in the starting of the proj ect which will in time bring a new deal to motorists in Cen- tral London. A brawny workman leaned purposefully on a road drill, bored a quick hole in the precious Piccadilly roadway, and said, "This is coming up, mate." He promised, "When we have finished here, you won't get quite 80 dizzy going round the old circle." He and his workmates had bored the first drill hole for one of the trickiest feats ever at- tempted in London road-build- ing, the boring of the long under pass from Piccadilly to Knights- bridge. They have to dig out a 1000-foot tunnel, missing Hyde Park Corner tube station.
