He demonstrated whet could he done when he spoke on the recent Boviet resolution concerning the Congo Russia proposed, in essence, abandon- ment of the entire UN effort for peace in the Congo, There were the familisr blasts st coloniglism snd a grest show of indignation over the death of Petrice Lumens, Srevenson replied. "Ae to colonialiom, my country (owt eoloniatiom inl776 (when, if | mey sey 80, the ancestors of the suthins of this resolution hed scarcely stirred beneath their bondage, And we have fought i ever since" He welcomed the fact thet the B de ed "political asses sination with such vehemence" and gdded: "In this country it hes slweys been condemned by whomever come mitted, whether by Congolese, by color piglists or by Communists, We condemn wny violation of bumen rights, say desth without due process of lew, whether African politicien, Hungerisn patriot or Tibetan netionslist, The United Stetes stands squarely for the rights of men, individusl men, men him. self, against any tyranny, whether it be the tyranny of colonislism or the tyranny of dictatorship" Some may object to the use of the UN ss & soundinghosrd for propegends, But we sre in a battle of propagends end ideas, and it would be foolish to give sll the advantage to our detractors and opponents Pension Improvement The industrislization of life in Can ads -- particularly in Ontario ~~ during the past few years, has been accom- panied by an increased number of pen- pion schemes, T his development has coincided with an acceleration of the movement of individual members of the labor force from one firm to another and it hes also become apparent that commendable as these plans are to bring & measure of security to a worker after he retires, it is even more desir able to co-ordinate these plans so that the maximum benefit may be derived by the ones for whom they were in- tended Hence the establishment by the On. tario Government of a special com. mittee on portable pensions has been # significant development, and the com- mittee findings, made public earlier this week should be of wide interest Hitherto, with some notable excep tions, of course, pension plans have been designed to serve persons who res main in the employ of a single firm or organization such as the government, Some of the plans have been instituted with an eye to inducing employees to remain, If a person changes his job, possibly because he wishes to better himself and is unable to do so where he is, he fre. quently finds that he receives from his old firm only what he has paid in. If he is in the older age bracket, he finds frequently that if he moves to another firm where there is & pension scheme he has difficulty in getting established in the new plan The study of the special committee should give some guidance to legis lators and others in establishing some sort of unified policy which will eli minste many undesirable features of pension plans as they now stand, One of the sims of the commities, it would appear, was to supply guidance on a trend which hes become increas. ingly apparent in postwar yesrs, This in the recognition that with the high stan- dard of living emong the labor force there should be a retirement income which should bear some relation to the standard enjoyed during one's works ing years, The special committee prefaces ity report by saying the study is in no way exhaustive and there may be many gaps yet to be filled, No reference is made, for example, of the related prob. lem of unemployment or how the lay» offs affected by technology and other factors would in turn affect the pension of the one who found himself out of work for a period and forced to take work possibly in a different field, At the same time, the initiation of the study appears to be a conscientious effort to face up to a problem that will become increasingly complex unless something is done to co-ordinate it Help With Financing One of the eriticisms of Canada's tourist establishments has been that too many of them offer indifferent ac» commodation for the price ~charged, Tourist operators have replied that be- cause of finaneing difficulties, combined with the short period of heavy tourist traffic, they have been unable to do what they wished to in the way of improving their facilities, Now their financing troubles should be consider. ably eased -- and perhaps more of them can follow the lead of their more aggressive colleagues in building alls hye Oshawa Times Tb WILION, Publisher and General Menage: 6 GWYN KINSEY.

Wildcat Strikes Hit Britain Hard By M, MeINTYRE HOOD Bpecial London (Eng) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON = The seriousness of unofficial strikes has been revealed in the labor statistics for 1960 issued by the ministry of labor, The figures reveal a situation which amply justifies the efforts of the government the employers' organizations und the Trades Union Congress to find a solution to the unoffi cial strike problem The figures issued by the min istry, covering 1968 and 1660, are on the surface misleading They show that whereas 5,270, 000 working days were lost through sirikes in 1968, only 3,008,000 were lost in 1060 Against this, however, is the fact that the 1060 figures were inflated by the long sirike of printers, an official strike which accounted for 3,509,000 working days lost in that year, This leaves a balance of 1,961,000 days lost In 1068, almost en tirely due to unofficial stop: PARES, 1060 WAS WORSE in 1060, when there was no officially recognized strikes of any size, the total of 5,008,000 lost days was mainly due to un official strikes, an increase of 1,047,000 over 1056 The ministry's table of indus tries shows that transport had the worst record in 1060, It lost 630,000 working days, compared with 95,000 in 1966, About 210,000 of these were lost in the un official strike of tally clerks al the London docks in the fall, INSIDE YOU Blocked Passage Blows Up Kidney By BURTON NH, VERN M.D The Doctor pushed on Joe's abdomen and found a football sized tumor! After a few tests, Joe found that his kidney had swelled into a water-filled ballon, "Hydrone phrosis' is the medical term The pit of his stomach felt as it someone had just kicked that football, This was just a rout ine checking up That floating kidney used to kick up now and then, but those sharp pains and cold sweats hadn't bothered him for years, probably hecause that floating kidney had grown into a water filled football That cold swealing agony used to come whenever his floating kidney twisted or kink: ed the passage to the bladder, The kidney resembled a bath tub with the drain closed and both faucets running full force! AGED EARLY With each bout, the kidney filled a litle more until, finally, it streched into a football-sized hydronephrosis, It had aged before it's time Your kidneys don't have to float their way to hydrone phrosis, Anything that blocks the outlet can eventually aver fill and streteh a kidney Kidney stones may block the drain, Shrinking soar tissue may choke it, Tumor and blood ves sels may lie across the passage and strangle it Lasy bladder muscle may not be strong enough to push along its contents, Lower down, tiny valves may clog the bladder outlet When the bladder can't emp: ty, traffic backs up inte both kidneys, Unless you have an identical twin with a spare, it's #nd snother 128.000 in the un official seamen's strike in the sumer The motor industry came next, with 504,000 days lost in 1060, compared with 335,000 in 1060, This total wes produced by many stoppages which were small in themselves, but some of which threw many other people out of work, The mofor Industry, In April and May, suffered from an apprentices' strike, which cost ahout 347,000 days, It was the biggest single stoppage of the year BRIGHTER SIDE A rather brighter side to the picture, however, is found in the report thal wages Increased more steeply in 1060 than in any year since 1057. Atl the same time, the normal working week was reduced in number of hours by 2% per cent, giving # conse: quential increase of just .over 6% per cent In hourly. wage rates The average gross earnings of working men throughout Eng: land and Wales in 1060 rose to $40.60 sa week, the highest yet recorded in this country, Over the 13 months, pay packets went up by close to $3.00 » week This new figure, however, in cludes bonuses and overtime f and is calculated before dedue- tions for income tax and un- employment and health insur: ance, Yet it is still the highest figure ever earned by the Brit. ish working men, best to avold hye ronep irosls on both sides STEALTHY DEVELOPMENT, Hydronephrosis itself usually develops silently. Sometimes a dull, nagging ache gives it a way, Joe should have known something was wrong when his belt grew to tight even when he hadn't gained an ounce, Your doctor can spot hydrone: phrosis on special X-ray pies tures taken after a dye is ine jected into your arm vein, The dye is concentrated in the kid. neys, where it outlines their ine sides, Hollowed-out insides means hydronephrosis, If the dye doesn't show in the bad kidney, it probably isn't works ing If caught early, hydronephre- sis can be cured by unblocking the passage, Meanwhile, doctors can keep traffic moving as us: ual, Dr, Fern's mailbox is wide open for letters from readers, While he cannot. undertake to answer individual letters, he will use reader's questions in his column whenever possible and when they are of general inter ost.
