Fhe Oshavon Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Thursday, July 6, 1961 UN Deserves Applause For Progress In Congo It seems only yesterday that trouble erupted in the Congo, but a year has passed since that troubled young state was plunged into the darkness of civil war, mass murders, riots and tribal strife. It was a situation ripe for Soviet interference, and the Russians tried a quick grab. They moved in with technicians , infiltrators, supplies and arms, and so did other Communist bloc nations. The Belgians, noting this and fearful of the complete loss of their large investment in the Congo, also began moving back in force. Here was a place for United Nations action, and the UN did act under vigor- ous orders of Secretary General Ham- marskjold. Mobutu, with backing of President Kasavubu, isolated Lumumba, hope of the Communists, and ordered the Russians and their partners from the country. They went packing in hu- miliation. Some 20,000 foreign troops under UN control moved in to try to restore order. It was no easy job. From the start the UN got more opposition than co- operation from the self-proclaimed Congo leaders. Rioting and tribal battles continued. The economy came to a standstill. Starvation and epidemics struck many parts of the country. Slowly the UN presence brought rela- tive calm and some attempt to ease food and other problems. The power struggle was climaxed when Lumumba was murdered. The po- litical wars boiled again. The Commu nist world threatened new intervention. Some nations withdrew their troops from the UN contingent. Two things helped in riding out this new crisis. India quickly sent 5,000 soldiers to bolster the UN force. The United Arab Republic and the Sudan refused to allow Communist nations use of their airfields and air lanes to reach the Congo. Since then there has been steady progress. The Congo leaders recently reached agreement on recalling parlia- ment and starting again to build a framework of government. July 6 of 1961 is a bright day in the Congo compared with 'the same day a year before. Not that trouble is over. The Congo lacks educated personnel, experience and organization. Tshombe, who only a week ago was hugging the other leaders in a show of fraternity, is back home in Katanga denouncing everyone again --especially the UN. But things are look- ing up and there can be hope that the Congo may work out an acceptable future. The UN can take credit. Troubled Ages Of Man A rather disconcerting picture of what may happen in two of the ages of man has been drawn by Dr. John F. Briggs, a specialist in internal medicine and professor of clinical medicine at the University of Minnesota. The "foolish forties" and the "frenzied fifties" are the perilous times. The age blight is upon a man when he has squandered his reserves of emo- tional, intellectual and physical strength, and realizes he no longer has what it takes to do everything he wants and needs to do, according to Dr. Briggs. Apparently there's no comfort in think- ing that the peril is manifested only in isolated cases. Dr. Briggs says most men undergo emotional reaction some- times in mid-life. For some this means midforties and, for others, mid-fifties. The symptoms, he said, are as clear cut as the rash that goes with scarlet fever. The undelying cause is a failure to learn one's limitations early and to frame one's life within them. The state, which strikes most men sometime in the mid-forties or mid- fifties, can mimic the diseases preva- lent in this age group, he said, can aggravate existing disease and makes rehabilitation difficult because the victim tends to retreat into his real or imagined disease as a psychological shelter from the frustrating facts of life. The essential fact is that the man has gone as far as he ever will up the ladder of success and perceives at last that the only direction remaining is down. Dr. Briggs describes the "foolish forties" as the era of the "big B's" when a man is balding, wears bifocals, has dental bridges, bulges and big debts. The dangerous aspect is that such a man is afflicted with status symbols, worries about his social and business position and his children's playmates. The first reaction is insecurity, the second is depression and the next is anxiety and tension. The man become chronically tired and irritable and even- tually "even his favorite hound dog crawls under the sofa when he comes home," Dr. Briggs said. It is the derangements of family and business life that can result from these psychological difficulties that can drive a man to alcoholism, to attempted suicide or, if the conditions are con- ducive, even to murder, Dr. Briggs said. Part of the blame for this kind of development he placed on an educa- tional system which tends to shield from a child any realization of his in- tellectual limitations. "We must recall that all people are not born free and equal," he said. "We , are born with'various talents and various degrees of talent." Ruilding Ae Memarial As a sequel to the Dominion Day Holiday observance the Sudbury Star properly calls attention to a national project being sponsored in Charlotte- town, Prince Edward Island. It is the contruction of a "living memorial" to the Fathers of Confederation. The year 1964 has been set as the target for completion. Estimated cost is between $4,000,000 and $6,000,000.

The physical features of the memorial envision a beautiful building to replace the city's art gallery and its only theatres which were destroyed in two disastrous fires in 1958, It is planned to have the monument as a showcase for the visual and performing arts of the nation. A Canada Council grant of $30,000 has provided the funds for an architectural competition which is hoped will produce the winning design by this fall. Even though Prince Edward Island did not enter Confederation until six years after The British North America Act became law it was at Charlottetown that eight Canadians and 17 Maritimers met to weave the first ties that were to unite Upper and Lower Canada. These were the men who were later to become known as the Fathers of Confederation. We agree with the Star that here is ® project to which all Canadians can give their support. It may seem strange, but it is nevertheless true, that there is no permanent memorial of distinction in Canada to honor the Fathers of Con- federation. One of the leading figures in the promotion of the national memor- ial is Dr. Frank MacKinnon, principal of Prince of Wales College, Charlotte- town. It was a Calgary lawyer, Eric L. Harvie who, in conversation with Dr. MacKinnon, expressed the opinion the memorial to Confederation was too im- portant for PEI alone MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED READERS' VIEWS Concert Earns Lavish Praise Dear Sir: The concert under the direc- tion of Lieut. Francis S. Fran- cis last Thursday night was a great experience for me, being as I am a solo clarinet player with an amateur orchestra in The Netherlands for the last 35 years. This was the second time 1 listened to the band con- cert in your beautiful Memor- ial Park. The first time I think the band had to get used to outside temperature, which was rather low. But last Thursday was a real treat to anyone who appreciates good music. In the first number the indiv- idual qualities of the players came out and combined with the skill and interpretation of OTTAWA REPORT Charge Of Terror In Coyne Affair By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The Coyne affair has led to an outburst of at- tacks upon the government by opposition MPs with charges that senior appointed servants of the state are being terror- ised We have heard free use being made of such comments as "Heads will roll" and '"McCar- thyism". Both these allusions have two sides, but this fact is conveniently overlooked by those speakers who select them as oratorical weapons, Many heads rolled from the guillotine during the French Revolution; but while some sympathize with the aristocrats beheaded, others by the de facto government of France on the grounds that they were enemies of the state. The Republican senator from Wis- consin has become, in left-wing circles, a facile means of ap- plying a sweeping smear; but INSIDE YOU 5 the conductor provided a com- pletely successful musical hear- ing, and the same goes for the other musical works which were played with a wonderful dedication to bring the audience something really worthwhile. One other word of credit lo the band, that they provided such a well-played accompani- ment for their guest soloist from the BBC, England, on such little rehearsal time. Our ap- preciation was dimmed a bit when the Carnival of Venice, played by one of the best trum- pet players known, was backed up by a piano which likely knew belter days a while ago. The Negro spirituals from KE. Ball were also played with much musical understanding. In Col- onel Bogey on Parade it seemed that the small brass section was understandably tiring a bit. But then to top it all, the band played the very difficult Fin- landia of Sibelius so well that I was deeply impressed. Not wanting to offend the singers, who are definitely good, we note that their accomplish- ments cannot be fully appreci- ated due to outdoor acoustics. It was distracting at times that there were children playing tag, but I think the officer on duty was understandably dis. tracted by the outstanding per. formance of your band and soloists. To be a member of such a band with such highly qualified leadership, must be a real pleasure. I wish you much suc. cess in your further accom. plishments and will enjoy your future concerts, which are a credit to your city. Oshawa C. G. VANDERSTOOP, Solo clarinetist of Har- mony Orchestra, Haar. lem, The Netherlands He quoted this criticism: "The wisdom and efficiency of { our governments depend on the calibre of our top public serv. . ants and on their candor and self-confidence. Hence the be- heading of a very senior serv- ant of the government like | Coyne is a profound cause for . concern, The effect on the very it should be remembered that as long ago as Feb. 11, 1950, he asserted that 57 Communists were working in the U.S. State Department, and since that time Communist spy-rings have been winkled out of government offices in every country in the Western alliance including Can- ada -- although we have been mute about this. LIBERAL TROJAN HORSE There is no suggestion of charges of communism in po- litical circles here today: the current use of these tainted phrases is no more than over- anxious partisan enthusiasm. 1} Warthasan tha newly elected Liberal MP from Leeds, devoted a great part of his speech in the budget debate to an attack on the government for ihe 'serious losses to the pub- lic service" during the past four years. Lightning Burst Of Facial Pain By BURTON H. FERN, MD "DO YOU want to kill me?" screamed Susie. 'One touch, and those ice tongs will be pull- ing my face off again!" The doctor had suggested ex- amining her upper lip Susie's reaction was a dead giveaway. She had 'tic doulour- eux" -- fleeting attacks of shoot- ing pains along the side of the face. As you grow older, you may run nto tic douloureux. Senior citizens seem more vulnerable. At first, months may separate each lightning-like spell. But gradually the two" -minute at- tacks strike daily -- or several times a day. Lips and nose become (rig- gers where the lightest touch ex- plodes into ice-tong agony. That's why Susie wore a wood- en face and walked very, very softly. SPOKE CAREFULLY Like a cigar-smoking politi- cian, she talked out of the other side of her mouth. Whenever balmy breezes tickled her lips, lightning pains pulled at her face. No wonder she didn't wash that lip Dainty washcloths and mas "uline razors mean sudden tor- fure. Around lips and nose, muscles quiver and draw into spasm during the attack No one knows the cause. But iike every other 'neuralgia', tic douloureux can be relieved in many ways. A few whiffs of trichlorethylene may numb the troubled nerves. Blood vessel relaxers allow new nourishment to reach the nerve to erase tic pain. Vitamin B injections may relieve the trouble. RELIEF FROM DILANTIN Because lightning bursts of pain resemble epilepsy's sudden burst of brain cell activity, doc- tors tried an epilepsy medicine called "Dilantin." Alter years oi shooting agony, many incur- ables have found relief in a handful of Dilantin capsules. If medicines fail, alcohol in- jections can numb the afflicted nerve, or the brain surgeon can operate to disconnect nerve fibres flowing from the face to the brain Before any treatment, how- ever, you'll need a thorough medical--and dental--checkup Susie's now cured. Those ice tongs melted the day her dentist filled that gaping cavity in her upper molar! up important group of senior pub- lic servants not yet decapitated will be very serious." Many Conservative MPs rec- ognize that Mr. Matheson can- not be expected to know the in. side story of what happened here before his recent election. But the generality of the at- tacks against the government on this score has re-aroused very bitter animosity among Tories. These do not forget the subtle but active hostility which they have received both individually and as a party from many of the top officials whom Mr. Ma- theson champions. Such were appointed by the Liberal gov- ernment, personal friends of Liberal ministers, and archi- ees Gu _ 1 took the change of government very hard, not being accus- tomed--as their fellows in Lon. don and Washington and Paris are--to periodical changes of masters. MOST TRULY LOYAL The main body of the civil service here is loyal to its task, which is to serve to its full ca- pacity whatever government the electors of Canada may choose from time to time. But at the apex of the government official- dom are many posts which are filled, not by career civil serv- ants, but by appointees of the government, It is in this field that the Conservative govern- ment -- which from mistaken kindness refrained from a housecleaning has experi- enced crippling difficulties. These matched the problems of the first Labor government in Britain, as described by Anne Fremantle in her book This lit- tle Band of Prophets. She writes: "One of the main causes for Labor failure to rule was the fact that Labor cabinet minis- ters were at the mercy of their permanent officials, who de- spised them. Returning to Mr, Matheson's quote, the key phrase is *'a very senior servant of the govern- ment like Coyne", Applying that in the case of any official whose head has rolled, its truth can be assessed, as one MP re- marked to me, in the light of the simple question: "Did he behave like a servant of the government?"

Oshawa sweltered in a tem- perature of 98 degrees in the shade, and the heat caused many large lumps to appear on the pavement of Simcoe street. A contract for the new Pub- lic Utilities Commission build- ing was let to the W, J, Trick Co., at a total price of $28,796, not to include heating, plumb- ing, electrical work and decorat. ing.
