L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Report On Broadcasting Stirs Storm In Britain Publication of the Pilkington re- port on British broadcasting has stirred a storm in the United King- dom. The report savagely criticized the private commercial TV network, praised the BBC and suggested that the BBC be given control of the pro- posed third network. British newspapers almost unani- mously blasted the report. The Daily Mirror ran a banner headline: "Pil- kington tells the public to go to hell." The story under the headline was sharply critical of the recommenda- tion that a reorganized independent teleyision authority should take over the task of planning programs and selling advertising from commercial companies. It said: "You can't have the TV programs which a two-thirds majority of you prefer. You must have a different setup controlled by the government." The Daily Herald in an editorial defended the existence of commercial television: "If the independent tele- vision has done nothing else, it has livened up the BBC. This competition must not be endangered." These comments will stir echoes of old debates in Canada, where the culture-versus-commercialism argu- ment has been going on for quite a while. The big knock against the CBC in the days when it was judge, jury, prosecutor and competitor of private broadcasting was that all too often it tried to force into Canadian ears not what Canadians wanted to listen to put what the CBC thought should be listened to. There is no doubt that the strengthening of private broad- casting has been a better system of the CBC, At the same time, the CBC has prevented broadcasting in Canada from becoming an utter wasteland -- to borrow a phrase from the chair- man of the U.S. Federal Communica- tions Commission, who thinks (along with a great many thoughtful Amer- icans) that the broadcasting system in the United States has become ut- terly enslaved by commercialism. The public system needs the com- petition of private broadcasters. And listeners need a network to which they can turn to avoid the frequent inanities of commercial broadcasting. Still Importing Energy Although Canada is becoming steadily more self-sufficient in meet- ing its requirements for various forms of energy, we still are a "net importer" of about a quarter of our needs. The current Bank of Montreal business review notes that although "richly endowed with extensive forests, vast coal deposits, great rivers, unfathomed petroleum and gas reserves and huge stores of uranium, Canada has nevertheless during the whole period of its economic develop- ment,-had an international deficit. in energy-producing resources." The reason, of course, is that the principal deposits of fossil fuels in Canada are situated "remote from the industrial heartland of the country." Thus it has been expensive to move home-produced. fuel to where it is needed, and relatively cheaper to import part of our requirements. How- ever, there has been a postwar trend to rely less on imports, which is likely to continue in the future. Canada's first source of energy was wood, which was replaced by coal late in the 19th century. In 1900, coal supplied more than 55 per cent of the nation's energy needs, rising to 75 per cent in 1920 and falling to less than 18 per cent in 1960, as oil and gas became steadily more impor- tant. The review thinks that this trend may reverse itself in the next 15 or 20 years, as the practical possibilities of further hydro-electric power be- come exhausted and as more and more coal is used for thermal electric gen- erating plants. A factor is the possible use of pipelines for transporting coal, in crushed form mixed with water or oil. This possibility' may vanish, however, with the development of economic nuclear-power electric power plants. Between 1950 and 1960 Canada, on balance, reduced its annual deficit from trade in energy resources and products by some $150 million. The review notes that the fact the deficit at that time still amounted to well over $300 million "is an indication of the possibilities for further progress". Forest Danger Ratings During this and the next few weeks, travel in Ontario's forest areas will reach a peak -- and so will the danger of fire from human careless- ness. Blazes started by the impro- perly-quenched fires of negligent campers, by cigarette butts tossed from cars by stupid motorists, by heat-magnifying bottles and cans left by picnicking litter-bugs can sweep tens of thousands of acres of bush- land, destroying not only valuable stands of timber but also the recre- ation value of great areas. By being familiar with fire danger ratings in forest areas and by taking proper safety precautions, travellers, anglers, vacationers and others can do much to prevent costly and exten- sive bush fires, the Department of Lands and Forests points out. Ratings posted throughout the forest fire district during the April to October fire season indicate She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: I had an electrocardiogram but nothing showed up. I have slight pains around my heart, and told my doctor about them, but he said there is nothing wrong with it. Could he be in error? -- MRS. Vor. After an ECG and an exami- nation at which you told your doctor about your pains, the chances of his overlooking heart disease are small. Still, lots of people, for what- ever reason, insist upon tor- turing themselves with fears, without any basis, that a chest pain is a "heart pain," It is worth going to some trouble to convince them that they are wasting their nervous. energy in such worry. : Heart pain is usually a sense of pressure or constriction in the chest, and usually associ- ated with pallor and sweating. The severe pain of angina pec- toris as a rule is closely related to effort, to large meals, and the patient doesn't waste much time in finding out what is wrong. Other forms of heart disease can cause shortness of breath and various symptoms, but all can be readily spotted by the doctor. A lot of other chest pains have ntohing to do with the heart. Neuralgia, affecting nerves between the ribs, is one cause, Severe pain in the side of the chest, in older people, often is the harbinger of an attack of shingles, which has nothing to do with the heart. Muscle strain, perhaps trig- gered by coughing, lifting, or other exercise, is a very com- mon cause of chest pain, and I've known people io. scare themselves half to death before they finally accepted the truth. Arthritic changes in the spine can cause pressure on nerve trunks, producing chest pain. A bubble of gas (or air) in the stomach can cause sharp, stab- bing pains in the left side of the chest. Gall baldder troubles, appen- dicitis, stomach and digestive disorders, hiatal hernia (a de- fect in the diaphragm) are BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Sixty-one donors appeared at the local Blood Donor Clinic which set a new high attendance record for the city.

Real heart disease is so im- portant that I don't want to let anyone become careless, Pain more centrally located under the lower breast bone too often is passed off as 'indigestion' when it should be recognized as heart trouble and be promptly treated. But when you've been care- fully examined, including an electrocardiogram, and been given a clean bill of health, stop worrying. Dear Dr. Molner: What could cause my temperature to go down to 97 degrees? I am usu- ally well; blood pressure and other tests O.K. I awake in the morning with headache and low temperature. I am 63. -- MRS. W.u 'A low temperature isn't cause for concern, It happens to some degree in most of us ,especially in the morning, because the body processes have slowed while we slept. However, inves- tigating your thyroid gland may be in order. Low thyroid activ- ity can be a factor in morning headache as well as low tem- perature. Dear Dr, Molner: A neighbor said her doctor told her that cats cause ringworm. What do you think? I suppose they could carry the fungus from one per- son to another, but I wonder.-- MRS, E. C. Iy suppose a cat COULD, under ideal. circumstances, carry fungus from one person to another, but it would be a most extraordinary occurrence. The ringworm fungus, after all, burrows into the skin. Young- Sters, wrestling around, can scrape a bit of infected skin from one to another. But a cat isn't likely to, because the fun- gus by its nature doesn't infest eats, For all practical purposes, you can safely forget about cats as spreaders of ringworm, It spreads from person to person, not from person-to-thing-to-per- son, not person-to-animal-to-per- son. Maiority Wanted Debates On TV By The Canadain Insttiute Of Public Opniion (World Copyright Reserved) Most Canadians believed that Mr. Diefenbaker and Mr. Pear- son should have appeared in TV debates during the election campaign, for one dominating reason -- the public would have been better informed on party issues in hearing both sides of the argument at once. Another hefty segment of the six in ten who wanted these debates believed that voters would get better acquainted with the candidates in a TV contest of minds, and that fur- ther interest in the election would be aroused. Only about three in ten ob- jected to the idea of such TV debates, most of them on the basis that it would have been just a wsate of time and money, as minds were already made up on politcial preferences. In the midst of the con- troversy, Gallup Poll interview- ers put this question to a nation- al sample of adults: "Some people think that the Federal leaders of political parties running for office in the election, like Mr, Diefenbaker and Mr. Pearson, should meet in debates on TV. Others do _Aot think they should do this. What is your opinion?"

OTTAWA REPORT Country Watching Western Struggle By PATRICK NICHOLSON The tragedy of Saskatchewan overshadowed every aspect of the federal eleetion in that prov- ince. That tragedy is the bitter quarrel--unresolved as I write this -- between the doctors of Saskatchewan and their provin- cial government, with regard to the socialistic medical policies laid down by its former pre- mier, Tommy Douglas. I recently described my sur- prise at finding out how this quarrel dominated thought, talk and lives in our breadbasket province. The ncrmal means of information in our other prov- inces had singularly failed to make this clear. Yet Saskatch- ewan is now a test-tube of na- tional interest to us all, for a formula is being worked out there which will influence med- ical insurance in all provinces, and indeed probably in all the states of our neighbor. WORRY LOSS AND BLOOD It unveils the tragedy to move around in any Saskatchewan REPORT FROM U.K. community, and find homes be- ing sold and offices being closed by doctors who have long earned a respected and valuable prominence. It is shameful to learn that wives and children of such doctors are being threat- ened and insulted. It is shock- ing to hear wise and prominent citizens speak of possible blood- shed, as I heard a judge speak. A doctor may drive his car, and suffer the loss of loosened wheels with haphazard danger to even third parties; what far- mer might not go berserk when a sick child lacks full medical care if the doctors strike? Such episodes make guns spit; such violence is the kind of bloodshed frankly feared if, as they threaten, the doctors "strike" against the govern- ment's medical care plan on Ist July, 5 The government of Saskatch- ewan has passed an Act: which places the control of all medical services under the Saskatche- wan Medical Care Commission. This Act goes far beyond the provision of insurance to pay Finders Keepers Court Decision By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times RAMSGATE, Kent -- Thanks to the decision given by a jury at a treasure trove inquest held in Ramsgate, a $27 a week laborer will be enriched to the extent of something like $9,000. And the corvoration of the town of Ramsgate, by which he was employed, had its action claim- ing that the treasure belonged to it dismissed. John Clarke, the 32-year-old laborer, gasped when the treasure trove court jury gave its' ruling that as he had been the finder of the treasure, then it actually belonged to him, and not to his employers who had claimed it. The 'treasure took the form of a bagful of coins, which had been dug up by Mr. Clarke while he was at work. He had been working for five days for the corporatiun, laying paving at a site at Newcastle Hill, Rams- gate, when he struck gold. WENT TO POLICE Digging on the site, Mr. Clarke suddenly turned up a pile of coins. He had no idea what they were. He threw some of them to a workmate, Fred Pierce, and asked what they were. They looked as if they might be valuable. So they, and another workman, Charles Wright, put the coins in a bag and took them to the police. The coins were carefully inspected, and turned out to be 615 golden sovereigns and 116 golden half- sovereigns. An investigation showed that the treasure had been buried under a cottage which was built in 1837, and which was pulled down in 1947. No trace could be found of its owner. Under the law, the treasure belonged to the Queen, but the treasure trove court had the task of deciding who was the finder and who would therefore be entitled to compensation. TOWN STEPS IN Here the corporation of 'the town of Ramsgate stepped into the picture, and claimed that the coins were the property of the corporation. Roy Purnell, assistant town clerk of Rams. gate, submitted to the court that if the men had not been work- ing on the site as corporation workmen, they would not have had any lawful right to be on the land. The coins were actual- ly beneath corporation land. The coroner at the inquest, however, did not agree with this argument. He said: "You are trying to persuade me that because one or all three of the men were servants of the corporation and they were on corporation land, the finder in law is the corporation." He said to the jury: "In a coroner's court the cor- poration is not the true finder. What you have to find is the actual human being who found this treasure "' The jury quickly found that John Clarke was the true finder The coroner ordered that the coins, the property of the Queen, should go to the treasury. But it is left to the Lords Commis- sioner of the treasury to decide the amount which will be paid to Mr. Clarke as the finder of the treasure. At present day values, the coins would be worth about $9,000, doctors' bills; it gives a body of civil servants power to regu- late all aspects of medical care, including the scientific and tech- nical details of the method of care and treatment of patients, This is a grave risk to pa- tients, and an intolerable inter- ference with a hly-skilled and dedicated profession. No doctor in a free society should be subjected to any reg- ulation by bureaucrats; the competence and ethics of our doctors are thoroughly tested and policed by their own profes. sional associations. For any government to take power to prescribe certain treatments-- indeed to withhold payment for treatments of which civil serv- ants did not approve--would be comparable to Tommy Douglas Jegislating that artists must paint all barns purple, that law- yers must never defend a per- son charged with a criminal of- fence, that storekeepers must never sell candy to old age pen- sioners. It is the denial of demo- cracy and the enshrinement of dictatorship. WE ALL MUST CARE Thus, while most of us would approve of any system of state medical insurance, we would surely a!l oppose such state con- trol of the practice of medicine. In this, the doctors have de- served and obtained immense support from the people of Sas- katchewan. But if, as they threaten, they "strike" to attain the just and inevitable correction of the Dou- glas law, they will forfeit much sympathy. Meanwhile, Saskatchewan has already lost and is losing many of its faithful band of some 900 physicians; many have been offered richer practices in USA, while others are moving to Al- berta or other provinces. Quite a number are already refugees from state medicine in Britain. Time will inevitably remove the socialist government of Sas- katchewan, just as last week's election saw the defeat of Tommy Douglas and every one of his followers in that province. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 4, 1962 The House of Commons passed a church union bill 38 years ago today--in 1924 --providing for establish- ment of the United Church of Canada. All Methodist congregations, nearly all Congregationalists and two- thirds of Presbyterian con- gregations entered the un- ion. 1776 -- The Continental Congress adopted the Dec- laration of Independence in Philadelphia, 1648 -- The first Jesuit martyr in Huronia, Father Antoine Daniel, was mur- dered at the door of his church at St..Joseph I by Iroquois Indians. Mr. Clarke says that whatever = payment he receives will be 7 divided equally with his two | workmates. FOUND SLAIN NEW YORK (AP) -- Jesse # Gomez Routte, 20, a. reporter and interpreter at the United Nations for Puerto Rican radio 4 stations, was found slain Mon- day in his room at a Queens YMCA, police reported, He was © tied to a bed, gagged and stabbed, and an attempt had been made to strangle him-- apparently with a wire coat hnager that was twisted around his neck, officers said.
