The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, JULY 25, 1962--PAGE 6 Dissidents Have Rights | -To Express Opposition There are some suggestions that "NDP leader T. C. Douglas be given an acclamation in Burnaby-Coquitlam, the riding opened to him by the resig- > nation of Erhart Regier. These should * be resisted. The voters of Burnaby- 'Coquitlam should be given the oppor- tunity of registering their approval or disapproval of Mr. Douglas. That is the democratic way. There is very little likelihood of Mr, Douglas' getting beaten in Bur- | naby, considering the strong support ' given Mr. Regier there. If. there is any riding in Canada that could be considered "safe" for the leader of the New Democratic party, Burnaby is it. But not everyone in Burnaby voted for Mr. Regier, and undoubtedly not everyone would vote for Mr. Doug- las; the dissidents should be able to register their opposition, and not be stifled by any political deal to ease Mr. Douglas' way into the Commons, Party leaders in particular should have to fight for their seats, and it is a good Canadian tradition that says they should. Mackenzie King got an acclamation in Prince Edward Island in 1919, in a by-election shortly after he was elected Liberal leader, but from then on he had to fight--and often lost. He was beaten in North York in 1925 and in Prince Albert in 1945. Arthur Meighen was another leader who had to fight to get into the Commons and stay there, not al- ways successfully. We hope that Mr. Douglas gets to Ottawa. His debating skill will brigh- ten the Commons. But the voters of Burnaby -- all of them -- should still have their say. Burden Of Taxation Before the June general election, Prime Minister Diefenbaker promised a wide-ranging inquiry into the Cana- dian tax structure. This remains one of the basic steps to be taken towards the framing of a dynamic, enlightened » economic policy for Canada, and we % hope that the election result has not ' weakened. Mr. Diefenbaker's resolve : to take it. There is a rough rule that says that if taxation takes more than a third "of national income, the country is 2 headed: for financial trouble. Well, * we're in financial trouble; and for * the past two years taxation has taken ® more than a third of the national % income. s Bureau of Statistics figures show * that national income in 1961 was $27,- « s The people of Killarney, a lovely "little fishing village on the north "shore of Georgian Bay, last week % celebrated the official opening of a « road link with "the outside". Until = this summer, people who wanted to 4 visit or leave Killarney travelled by = plane or boat. The local residents are happy about ' the road, but their enthusiasm 'seems - to be tempered by the way it's been . built. Was it now possible, they asked % Highways Minister Goodfellow, to « make it a little less rough and its = curves a little less spectacular? Our sympathies are with the people " of Killarney. We have not yet travel- * led their road, but after some exper- , ience with some of the trails that "cary provincial highway tags in Northern Ontario, we can guess what 913 million. Taxes collected by fed- eral, provincial and municipal govern- ments totalled $9,897. million, or 35.5 per cent of national income. In 1960, taxes took 34.3 of national income; in 1959 it was 32.9 per cent; and in 1949 it was 28.5 per cent. In 1960 we passed the danger mark, and it was late in 1960 that foreign investors, obviously unhappy about poor returns in Canada, began withdrawing funds for investment elsewhere. That start- ed the run on the dollar, among other things. The Canadian tax structure is a thing of bits and pieces, put together without rhyme or reason. Until it is put in shape, it will continue to act as a brake on our economic develop- ment, Those Northern Roads the road is like. Northerners seem to be happy enough to get a road, any kind of road, to do little complaining, about the way it's built; but if the highways department tried to fob cff on Southern Ontario such a steep- graded, tight-curved stretch of wash- board as much of the track between Thessalon and Chapleau as a provin- cial highway, there would be great scream for a public investiga- one tion, That Thessalon-Chapleau nightmare (Highway 129) might be worth: look- ing into, anyway. Smack in the middle of it is a fine stretch of pavement, between two frightful sand and gravel and rock. The pave- stretches of ment seems to have been there for at least a year. - Worry About Standards One Common Market provision is for the free interchange of doctors among Common Market countries vy 1967, and it is worrying the British Medical Association, which has called for immediate "high level" talks be- tween the British government and leaders of the medical profession.

Is British medicine so far ahead of European medicine? Are British standards so much higher than those in, say, Germany or Holland or France? Apparently they are, but we have before us some comment from the British Medical Journal, which is worried (medical people seem *o have all sorts of worries these days) about a growing shortage of doctors in Britain. The Journal says: "It is difficult to believe that every- one all the time has been unaware of what was happening, yet the recent disclosures in these columns and else- where that, outside the teaching hos- the Hospitals to a great extent depend for pitals, National Health Service the continuation of their work upon some 4,000 foreign doctors, 'a large proportion from India and Pakistan, have caused surprise. They do not, of course, come here in order to prevent the NHS hospitals from coming to a standstill, but in order. to gain ex- perience and often to earn a better living than at home." Presumably, the 4,000 foreigners were able to meet British standards. We CAN'T JuST IGNORE IT ANY MoRE JACK AND A BEANSTALK YOUR HEALTH Worry Too Late About Arteries By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD "Dear Dr. Molner: When rep- utable doetérs diagnose a con- dition as arteriosclerosis (hard- ening of the arteries and stop at that point, what is an indi- vidual supposed to do? 'Are there any climates, diets or medications that can elimin- ate the condition?--W.J.F." My answer, sir, in a few words is this: 1, Nothing can eliminate the condition 2, A good deal can be done to help it, however. (I'll discuss this in some detail tomorrow). 3. I wish we could find some way to make people start worry- ing about their arteries at the age of 30, when they have no REPORT FROM THE UX. complaints at all, instead of at 50 or 60, when troublesome symptoms begin to appear Before getting to methods of treatment, let's fix in mind what hardening of the arteries means. The broader term, "ath- erosclerosis'" is technically a better one--it isn't purely a matter of the arteries becoming more rigid and brittle (although that is part of the proccss) Rather, we begin depositing in or on the walls of the arteries a rather waxy, fatty substance As these plaques grow, particle by particle, the inside diameter of the artery naturally de- creases, just as water pipe con- taining rust. Sheer total thickness of the Civil Servants' New Facilities By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- For the first time since Canadian representation in London was established in 1867, the Canadian civil ser- vants. of the federal and provin- ciai governments in this city now have their own cafeteria and dining room where they can ~have excellent and econ- omical meals and enjoy new social amenities. This was point- ed out by His Excellency Georgt A. Drew, Canadian High Commissioner in London, at a ceremony in which he officially opened these new. facilities in the Sir John A. MacDonald building, which houses over 20 departments of the Canadian government services Mr. Drew pointed Canada's cial governments in London had over 800 employees who. could make use of the new facilities, and that all 10 of Canada's provinces now had their agents general in the British eapital Except for the staff at Canada House and one or two special departments, all of the federal government depariments were now under the same roof in the Sir John A, Macdonald building on Grosvenor Square,. so that the new cafeteria and dining room would serve a useful and important function, and would help to strengthen the esprit de corps of the Canadian Civil servants in London VETERAN HONORED Present as a guest of honor, and having the privilege of be- ing served with the first meal in the new cafeteria, was Ser- geant Robert McNeill, for the past 20 years doorman at Can- ada House. In that capacity, he has become known affection- ately to iens of thousands of Canadian and British visitors to Canada House as '"'Mac". Since he became "Canada House doorman on April 2, 1942, Sgt. McNeill has become ac- quainted with Canadian prime ministers and cabinet ministers, with diplomats from . many countries and with countless Ca- nadian visitors to Britain who have sought his advice and as- sistance Sgt. McNeill served in the two world wars, with the Royal Scots Fusiliers in the first, and the Canadian Veterans' Guard in the second. Born in Ayr, * Scotland, he went to Canada in 1921, and lived in Toronto until ' that provin out federal and he went overseas with the Ca- nadian forces in October, 1941. The following April he took up his post at Canada House. When he was discarged from the Canadian Veterans' Guard in Octobtr, 1946, he merely changed his military uniform for his present immaculate commissionaire's blue serge and carried on During his two decades at Canada House, his kindness and patience have won him-a host of friends, and when occasional ill health prevents him from taking his post, there are al- ways immediate inquiries of "Where's Mac?" As co-guest for the occasion was Hughie Green, Montreal born former RCAF serviea man, and ® long-standing television favorite in Britain. With his typical brand of humor, he ve sponded to the weleome of the guests. He then donned a chef's tall white hat, adorned with a green maple: leaf, and joined with the High Comminsioner in serving the first dinner from the new caléteria to Sgt, Me Neill artery walls renders them less flexible--in addition to the na- tural loss of youthful elasticity in the tissues which comes to all of us, with age. Gradual hardening of the art- eries, therefore, is quite natural. We all can expect it to some degree, just as we expect our skin to get old, our hair to turn gray, and our eyes no longer to read fine print or see things as close to our noses as was true when we were younger. So the important question is not whether our arteries will harden. They will. The question, rather, is whether they become "hard" enough to interfere with our activities, or become dan- gerous--clogging in the heart muscle and causing a heart at- tack, clogging or leaking in the brain and causing a stroke, or clogging elsewhere so that, for one example, walking becomes difficult or painful. All the talk about cholesterol and poly unsaturated fats strikes at this problem: The saturated fats, and cholesterol, appear to contribute to his hard- ening if eaten to excess. Cutting down on them late in life can- not reverse the process. But very likely eating more spar- ingly of the saturated fats early in life will help avoid future trouble. Regular exercise (not overly athletic or strenuous, but just the daily exercise of walk- ing, adult sports, mowing the lawn, puttering in a workshop or garden, etc.) is known to re- duce cholesterol levels. On the other hand the man who sits too much, eats too much and (probably) works un- der too much unrelieved tension, is likely to die sooner, often with hardened arteries as a con- tributing cause. Tomorrow we'll discuss what to do--other than learning to eat properly and exercise regularly when we're young "Dear Dr. Molner: I read your interesting answer on over- active thyroid gland. But what Greek Children Adapt Quickly LINDSAY, Ont. (CP) -- Four Greek children who arrived . here in March are good exam- ples of the ease with which youngsters adapt to new envir- onment. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Rasim Takas were brought here with their parents from Greece by the Lindsay World Refugee Year committee. Hassan, 10, and Tzevit, 6, and their two sisters, Fatinne, 12, and Meizite, 8, are continuing school right through the sum- mer and their teacher says that by fall they will know enough English to move into higher grades. Not only that but they have plunged right into schoo! activi- ties and have taken to their new surroundings with enthusiasm. Hassan has turned into a pretty good football player. Mr. Takas, an Albanian shep- herd, was left stateless follow- ing the Albanian insurrection. He married his wife Haminte in Athens. He is employed at a Lindsay restaurant operated by natives of Greece and the family lives in a wartime house in the town's north end. They are the second family brought here under the refugee scheme. Two years ago a fam- ily from a German refugee camp arrived in Lindsay. After several months, the Semen Bar- szyck family moved to Oshawa, Ont., and later settled in Tor- ; onto. OIL UNDER SEA LONDON (CP) -- A. seven- month search is to be made for oil under the North Sea. The scheme.is sponsored by several oil companies and more 30,000 square miles be- tween Lowestoft, Suffolk, and North Berwick in Scotland will be covered. GALLUP POLL than QUEEN'S PARK Commission Head Facing Big Tests By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Judge Bruce Macdonald, chairman of the Ontario Police Commission gives one some faith that the commission will do a good job. Judge Macdonald is a stocky man, with a pleasant smile and a manner that though assured is not over-confident. The judge has been a criminal lawyer all his life, and a lot of that time he was a prosecutor. But he can smile. And he has some depth. As a member of the Windsor Police Commission, for instance, he was against the use of radar. He felt it wasn't fair to motor- ists. PUBLIC INTEREST? This last quality, of course, is what one looks for in any police commissioner. You can be sure that practi- cally any commissioner will be out to intensify the policing end of police work But he will be also out to pro- tect the public interest, and rights. There is the test. It must be the final test of any police official. And it cer- tainly must be of this new com- mission, which has been given the power to set the tone of all policing in Ontario. So one is reassured to see that Judge Macdonald has had a sense of this. Now one has to wait and see evidences of it appearing in the commission's work. AGAINST PUBLIC?

These are two points on which there has been long controversy and im each case the commis- sion has apparently favored ex- pediency over principle. CONDUCT, ETHICS? Who knows where it might go from there. : The next step could be wire- tapping? Overnight detention without bail? Entry without warrant (which the Liquor Control Board of Ontario pro- vides for now)?
