a a We OY dhe Oshawa Ses Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Monday, June 20, 1960 Pale Imitations Poor Practice For In one Ontario vacation area there is a "Cherokee" resort. The best that can be said for such a name is that it at least makes an effort to provide some honest local color, even though Chero- kees never came within several hundred miles of the place. Various Iroquois and Algonquin tribes tarried there at one time or another, but possibly it was thought that Cherokee, being an alien name, had more glamor, That sort of thinking is all too common and does nothing to lure tourists from the United States. g An American does not travel north to eat southern fried chicken at a Miami beach. And when more of our tourist operators and developers understand that fact, the better off they will be. The Vancouver Sun cocks a snoot at the Vancouver Ad and Sales Bureau for sponsoring a "Christmas in Las Vegas Night", The Sun comments: "The Ad and Sales Bureau is, of course, no different from many, even most Canadian organizations which feel they must hang an American label on any project they undertake. However, Jolly Games The Royal Canadian Air Force seems to be getting quite physical in its off- duty recreation. RCAF pamphlet No. 76 is a 118-page guide to the fun and games available to airmen on their free evenings, and describes such muscular and exciting diversions as "blindfolded handshakers", "barnyard din" and "hot- rod races" (livingroom style). Our experience has been eonfined pretty well to wartime army messes in general and infantry unit messes in par- ticular, but there were times when we were entertained by air force types, and on those occasions, to our best re- collection, we were never introduced to the thrills of blindfolded handshakers and the rest. Indeed, we have grave doubts that the airmen of that day knew anything about that sort of jollity and had to amuse themselevs with such less exciting diversions as the singing of old English, French and Canadian folksongs snd the playing of erokinole and chu- galug. But the world has changed greatly during the past couple of decades. Life has speeded up and grown more comp- lex, and it is understandable that the airman of today demands something Danger And Someone is always taking the joy out of life In this case, it is the serious and thoughtful editor the Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph, who, contemplating the eagerness with which so many people look forward to holidays, gives the matter a bit of second thought. The Quebec editor writes: "Holidays in which the bulk of the population can be freed from work are wonderful institutions. They permit all forms of recreational activities, and en- courage the gregarious instict in the human race. They allow for visits with of eX distant relatives and friends, and in general make a welcome break from the daily round of labor. "But when we see the mounting death toll as each holiday period progresses, we sometimes wonder whether the for- Tye Oshown Times ¥. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manager €.

What are you ade vertising, gentlemen, your own country or the United States? What are you selling?" The paper points out that British Columbia is full of local eolor and ree calls the story of J. B. Malanion and 0. G. Travaillot, pioneers and famed betting men, who wagered who would die first as they lay mortally ill in the Cariboo hospital. "That's only a Canae dian story," snarls the Sun, "and the Ad and Sales Bureau of Vancouver naturally has less interest in the Cariboo . . . than it has in the American honkytonk town of Las Vegas, Las Vegas, after all, has glamour, boy. And who ever heard of Travaillot and Malanion anyway?" The smart tourist operators in Ontario have an appreciation of what this pro- vince has to offer the visitors = and it isn't souvenirs from Japan and Gere many and half-baked imitations of what the traveller can get at home any day of the year. For RCAF with more action than the simple plea sures of the men who puttered about with such primitive aircraft as Spitfires, Hurricanes, Mosquitoes, Blenheims and Lancasters. As taxpayers, we should be happy that the RCAF brass are aware of these changed conditions and are working dilingently to provide their per= sonnel with modern, stream-lined, action= packed entertainment during the long evenings on the stations. Morale is important. We aay not be able to'give our airmen many new planes, and it may be a while yet before we can provide them with nice shiny missiles; but no one can deny that we're nn¢ ready to provide them with oodles bi'vood clean fun, There is just ope sour note. Defence Minister Pearkes informed the Come mons that this pamphlet "is practically a rewording of a similar booklet which was published by the director of physi- cal education and recreation of the Manitoba department of health and welfare." Does the RCAF lack the manpower or the ingenuity to produce its own fun-and-games pamphlets? Is this the spirit of per ardua ad astra? Perhaps the Commons defence committee could look into it. Holidays the busy at his desk or factory job over the tunate person is not one who is holiday period. An analysis of the holi- day deaths shows only 'too clearly that the social pleasures we usually associate with holidays are responsible for the fatalities we all so roundly deplore, "Motoring provides a large share of the death toll, and on the holiday week- ends, pleasure driving reaches its peak. Boating and swimming bring with them their dangers and death. Strangely enough, all of this unpleasant aspect of a holiday can be avoided, if only people decide to act with reasonable care and prudence. "Until they. do, we believe it is only too true that the lucky persons -- if we may use the expression -- are those who spend the holiday in their customary day-to-day manner." All too true -- but somehow or other we think we'll take our chances on the road and water, in the devout hope that we can be sensible about it, Bible Thoughts 1 have perceived among the youths a young man without sense.~--Proverbs 7:7. All of us meet these people. When we see them, let us pray to get the kind of wisdom this book speaks of --the wisdom of God.

She is the Honorable Cairine Reay Wilson, who last February celebrated the 30th an. niversary of her appointment as Canada's first woman senator, by the late Prime Minister W. L, Mackenzie King In the presence of a very dis- tinguished gathering, Prime Min- ister John Diefenbaker officially unveiled the bust, placed against the west wall of the -antechamber to the Senate. Immediately above the bust, a plaque affixed to the wall honors the five western women who struggled success fully to have our women recog- nized as persons eligible for ap-« pointment to our Senate. Six women sit in the Senate today, representing Ontario, Quebec, P.E.I, Manitoba, New Bruns wick and B.C, A seventh, One tario's Senator Iva Fallis, died in 1956. OUTSTANDING 75 YEARS Probably no woman has done more for her nation and her com. munity than Senator Wilson. The wife of a former Liberal MP: the late Norman Wilson, she was the daughter of Senator Robert Mac- kay, a prominent Montreal busi- nessman, and the grand-daughter of George Parent, a pioneer lum- berman at Three Rivers. She raised a family of eight children, and helped in raising many thou. sands of children less privileged than her own through her volun. tary leadership in such organiza. tions as- the Save the Children Fund, the Ottawa Welfare Buf- cau, and various Refugee Com- mittees. As a Senator, she has played her role assiduously on the national scene, while contrib- uting on the international plat. form in such roles as Canadian delegate to the United Nations. As a good Ottawan, she is presi- dent of the local YWCA; as a good citizen she has merited appointment as a Dame of Grace of the order of St, John of Jerusa- lem and award of an honorary DCL degree by Acadia Ur' er- sity, and accolade as Knight of the Legion of Honor of France. It was no empty phr: when, in dedicating the bust of the sen- ator, Prime Minister Dgefenbaker said: "After you have gone, peo- ple who pass here will remember you as a person who made a contribution worthy of being -e- membered." TRIBUTE OF BEAUTY Of the thousands o tourists who each day pass into our Sen ate Chamber, half will be thrilled to see this tribute to a member of their own sex. All will delight in the artistic sculpting, n the fine white marble of an aacient Grecian column, of a woman then in early middle age, with the high cheeks, full lips, determined jaw and patrician nose which disclose her Scottish ancestry. The Senator's Mackay origins were honored at the dedication ceremony by the presence of Ontario's lieutenant - governors Keiller Mackay, chief of her mas ternal clan, and by the clan tar- tan draped behind the bust Acknowledging this public trib. vie to hép long public service, Mrs. Wilson remarked that her husband had been concerned that she should never bring her ex or her family into disrepute in pub lic service--a wish which her rec- ord shows to have heen meticu. lously achieved. And she ex- pressed her satisfaction that she had had the opportunity of mak- ing the entry into public life easier for other women. Our first woman MP, the laie Agnes MacPhail, is already re. membered by a bronze bust placed outside the chambers of the Speaker of the House of Commons. It is pleasing that our first woman senator could be similarly honored in her lifetime, and in her immediate presence and that of so many who have worked with®er and who respect i A ircluding Hon. first FOR BETTER HEALTH Blood Clot Problems And Their Treatment HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Formation of blood diols, par- ticularly emboli type clots, is one of the most frequen® complica- tions following major operations. Emboli are clots which break away from the site where they originally were formed and sweep along through the blood- stream until they lodge in a blood vessel. There they block the nor- mal flow of blood. STAY WHERE FORMED The other type of blood clots, the thrombi, remain where they are formed. A clot can form in many, many places. Frequent sites are the coronary arteries which supply the heart and the cerebral arter- ies which supply the brain. Such blood clots can develop quickly and cause severe dam- age. Sometimes they are fatal. VEINS OF LEGS Clots can also form in the veins of the legs, causing inflammation, local tenderness and chronic swelling In some cases, an embolus will form and . travel through the bloodstream to lodee in an artery of the lung. We call this pulmonary embolism. This par- ticular type is the one most like. ly to occur after surgery. HARDEST TO TREAT Clots in the blood vessels of the lungs, heart and brain are the most difficult to treat. However, we can treat them to a certain extent, at Jpast, During 5% last decade, the ad- ministration of anticoagulants has become common practice in com- batting blood clots. Anticoagu- lants are drugs which tend to prevent clots from forming. But, " while they help prevent clots from becoming larger, they don't actually dissolve the clots once they have been formed. NEW APPROACH Now a new approach is being tried. It involves the use of agents to dissolve clots after they have been formed ) The body contains a defensive enzyme called fibrinolysin which helps dissolve the framework of blood clots The new approach is to develop methods of raising blood vessels of fibrinolysin to increase the body's own ability to dissolve the clots. Researchers have found several methods of doing this, SOME AIDS Fasting apparently aids the ef- fect of fibrinolytic therapy. So does the use of a diet animal fat On the other hand, heavy meals, particularly those high in fat content, inhibit fibrinolytic ac- tivity. QUESTION AND ANSWER W.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent for The Oshawa Times LONDON -- To meet a growing demand for pleasure cruising on the canal system of the United Kingdom, a fleet of cruise ves- sels has been built up by: British waterways. To promote interest in this leisurely and relaxing type of holiday-making, the corpora- tion has staged an exhibition of the pleasure boats offered for hire, The exhibition was held in the historic Gas Street Basin in Bir- mingham, where two canals meet in the centre of the city. The area was really dressed up for the occasion. A row of 18th cen- 'tury cottages on one side was painted 'in nine different colors. A powerful fountain was built in the centre of the canal, and sur- rounded with blue, red, green, white and yellow rocks. Imitation staffs, fairy lights, floodlighting and 'background music, Centre of attraction, of course, was the display of the canal cruis- eis built or' bought by British Waterways. They were of a very high standard. Some of them had imitation funnels, Everything has make cruisers makers seeking this type of holi- day. The charges made by British Waterways for hiring them day, a week or longer, are low by comparison with those private enterprise firms. These firms were excluded from the exe hibition with the of the Inland Navigators This company's hotel - narrows boats do not compete with Brite ish Waterway's craft. The two portcullises were fitted to mask two branch canals, and there was an abundance of bunting flag- narrow-boats, like small. hotels afloat, are beautifully decorate ed and a pleasure to the eye. QUEEN'S PARK Medical Insurance Has Public Appeal By DON O0'HEARN TORONTO -- Over the next while we will hear a great deal about medical insurance. When the CCF government was returned in Saskatchewan it tock this as a mandate for an insui- ance program. And Ontario Leader Donald MacDonald immediately hopped on the developmeat to boost his program for a similar plan here. ENDORSE PLANS? The question of mandates, of course, is a highly controversial one. Whether in electing a <overn- ment the public also endorses everything it proposes to do can be argued from here to eisrnitv. To at least one observer ii has seemed that usually the public en: dorses a government as such. That it chooses what it considers the best group avadabie. And that particular issues are secondary to this. There may be some things about a party's pro- gram it doesn't like. But if it feels this is the best party it will vote tor it neverthne- less. DON'T IGNORE Mandate 'or not, however. it would appear that the old parties would be foolish if they dismiss medical insurance just' perzuse the CCF has espoused it. It is a proposal tha: nas wide public appeal. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Overheard a suburbanite speaking: "It costs me almost as much to park my car as to drive it, and 1 can't afford to drive it." "You ean control an unruly dog by biting him," says an animal trainer. Yes, and also get your name in the paper. The typical candidate uses four hats: He wears one, tosses one into the ring, passes one, and talks through one. "The price of civilization is in- sanity," says a psychiatrist.
