Sa i ia Ri AE She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario : T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1962--PAGE 6 iepression Of Freedom In Community Chest The Greater Oshawa Community Chest campaign for 1962 is under way, with a target of $236,000. This: is $21,000 more than last year, but a modest amount for a city of is size -- and: as warm a response last year to the appeal will ensure + the goal is reached and, thereby, the 19 health, welfare and rec- onal agencies in Oshawa and dis- tric§ that share in the Chest will be able{ to continue their indispensable activities. The Community Chest way of com- munity self-help is a demonstration, in fact, of the superiority of the democratic way. We are not being. bludgeoned into support of this or that cause. The state is not substi- tuting its decrees for individual cons- cience. We have the choice, as free citizens, of contributing or not -- but if we do not, we are rejecting the responsibility of freedom while ac- cepting its benefits. It is the volun- tary contribution that counts; the voluntary acceptance of concern for the well-being of a fellow-citizen, and of his children as well as our own. The people of this city and district, by their response in the past, have shown their understanding and sup- port of the principles behind the Com- munity Chest appeal, as well as their recognition of the need for the work of the agencies that depend so heavily on the Chest. The voluntary acceptance of <es- ponsibility is the free man's way. The people here have followed that way in the past and will not falter or stray from it in the future. Threats To The Parks It seems that strong pressure is being exerted at Ottawa to have the »@federal parks thrown open to com- \mercial exploitation. One report stated that three Conservative mem- bers of Parliament from Alberta are particularly . insistent. that private operators be permitted to build motels, cabins, restaurants and similar facili- ties in the federal parks located in that province. The pressure should be resisted -- and the resistance should be strong enough to discourage the pressure groups from trying it again, at least for some years. The same sort of squeeze has been tried in Ontario during the past year. %, The pressure has come from both j sagnining interests and resort operators. #Seme members of the provincial cabinet appeared to waver, but then public opinion made itself known in the province in no uncertain terms. Newspapers were highly critical of any suggestions that the provincial parks be opened to commercial ex- ploitation, even in a limited way, and their readers agreed, in letters to the editors and to members of thé legis- lature. We hope that there will be a similar strong reaction to stiffen the backbones of the men and women in Parliament. It would be criminal folly to permit a commercial invasion of the national parks. Heaven knows, there are enough areas outside the parks awaiting commercial develop- ment, but it seems that some ope- rators can't bear to think of people enjoying a cheap vacation in beautiful surroundings. Attacks On Policemen A policeman needs the fullest co- slug policemen deride the law, and operation and support of society if he is to do properly his job of protect- ing society. But in many of our big cities he is not getting that support. In Toronto, for example, no less than eight policemen have been attacked by hoodlums during the past few days. If policemen are assaulted, how can others expect to walk the streets without being molested? Every city has its punks. If the punks in Toronto get gway with it, the others are going to try it in their own communities. Obviously, stern action must be taken to discourage the punks -- the stiffest possible sentences imposed on the culprits as soon as possible after the offences. The law must be respected, and , 80 must law enforcement.

Toronto seems to suffer from this sort of thing far more than other big cities in Canada, and one must ask, why? Is there a breakdown of order in the city? Are there not enough policemen to do a proper job of law enforcement? Are the police- men there not being properly trained? Is the attitude of the Toronto force towards the public to blame? We have always found the Toronto police cour- teous and helpful, but we have heard others complain bitterly about police "toughness", In any case, the situa- tion seems to call for an examination of the'reasons for the Toronto outbreak of assaults on policemen, from the public as well as the police point of view. fesidents Have Rights did not like "Mississippi-type legis- lation." Of course the Sons are entitled to their own opinions. They can go where they wish, they can worship as they wish, and they can say what they wish. Those are the rights of Canadians. But when they travel in open conspiracy to defy the decisions of courts, that is contempt. When they commit criminal acts, it does not excuse them simply because they claim they are directed by God. Their freedom, like that of the rest of us, remains freedom only as long as it does not degenerate into licence. What about the rights of the people of Agassiz? As the district paper pointed out, "one might have expect- ed... that a community of law- abiding citizens would have the right to protection from invasion by a group with a long record of illegal, anti-social acts, whose arrival will slash property values, increase insur- ance costs and require an annual tax levy of many thousands of dollars to guard public buildings .. . At best, this small community may find itself - saddled with the cost of social wel- 'fare and schooling for a thousand or more indigents squatting in our midst, with inevitable fires and possible giots always around the corner."

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The coming into vogue in Britain of betting shops has been attended with plenty of heartbreaks for local coun- cils, particularly in the London area. These shops have been mushrooming to such an extent that London borough councils are greatly perturbed over the number of licences which have already been granted, and even in cases in which the councils had previously lodged strong ob- jJections to them. This has led to a move on the part of at least one borough council to pressure the govern- ment to make some changes in the laws governing the granting of betting shop licences. The council of Bermondsey is asking the government for new laws which would remove from magistrates the power to over- Tule objections from borough councils objections to the open- ing of more betting shops within their boundaries. BACKED BY BOOKIES One of the interesting features of this situation is that many book-makers are giving their backing to the campaign. One of them, James Lane, said the Other day: "The whole betting-shop li- cence procedure has become farcical. Bermondsey has not only ask- YOUR HEALTH Question About Insulin Needles By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Here are a few words on "'needling"': "Dear Sir: Is there any way to sterilize needle and syringt other than by boilding? I take insulin, and wonder what to do when I am on a trip away from home.--A, V." Kits are available with com- partments for syringe, alcohol, cotton and insulin. Once steri- lized, the syringe can be kept in the compartment and merely wiped with alcohol before use. Or you can get (at medical supply houses or many drug stores) a case just for syringe and needle. Kept in the case, they would remain clean. Another method is wrapping the-needle in cotton soaked with alcohol. If needle and syringe are rinsed in alcohol, be sure the fluid is pumped out of the bar- rel and needle with the plunger. A small electric sterilizer for syringes and needle is also available. It would not tax your luggage. Dear Doctor: My husband gives me insulin shots and they cause a welt or lump on my arm. Please tell me what he is doing wrong.--MRS. K. Maybe he's not doing anything wrong. This sort of thing occurs with some diabetics, especially those who have just started us- ing insulin, but the trouble tends to subside as time passes. It may also be a reaction to the particular type of insulin you are using, so mention this to your doctor, to see if another kind eases the trouble. Can't you give the shots to yourself? It takes considerable experience to know how to give them to another person; it's not neatly as difficult to learn to give them to oneself. Dear Dr. Molner: Is it un- usual for a person.in the 40s to begin having epilepsy? My sis- ter has blacked out twice al- though it has not been deter- mined to be epilepsy. She has been under heavy emotional strain; her husband is an al- coholic.--M. J. Convulsive seizures resembl- ing epilepsy can occur after 40, and may be related to some old brain injury (or infection) or to some new brain disease. Pro- found emotional reactions can be a factor. Likewise epilepsy can become more 'acute with age. The best course in a case like this is to begin with a good physical examination, including skull x-rays and an electro- encephalogram. jpear Dr. Molner: How much y ~ would plastic surgery on my nose cost? I have given a great deal of thought to the idea, and am sure that if I can possibly afford it, the surgery will be worth my money. I have not conferred with a surgeon be- cause I would like for you to give me a little information as to what to expect first. Only a line or two, stating the approxi- mate cost.--MISS M. J. I'm a little tired of this ques- tion, and tired of saying that the way to find the answer is to talk to the surgeon who can gauge the cost after seeing how much has to be done. Some cases are more difficult than others. None is simple, because it requires careful measure- ment and sketching beforehand, to decide exactly what should be done. _It is a very exacting opera- tion. It's not like removing an appendix or the tonsils. The closest I can possible come to an "approximate cost" is sev- eral hundred dollars. Whether the "'several" is small or large depends on the case. ed the government to amend the betting shop laws in the manner desired. It is asking all the other boroughs in London to back a plan to place a ceiling on the number of -betting shop licences issued. A spokesman for the Ber- mon.¢y council said: "This will mean asking the Home Secretary to give councils the power to decide when there are enough betting shops in- stead of leaving it to the magis- trates, who often fail to appre- ciate local conditions. ALREADY HAS 23 Bermondsey, with a popula- tion of 51,000, has 23 betting shops, with four more applica- tions in the process of being considered. Lambeth Council which has also failed in a num- ber of objections to betting shops, will back Bermondsey in the campaign. Alderman W. R. Knight, of Lambeth, said: "There are already enough of these places and a change of the law is needed. James Lane, who is a mem- ber of the South London Feder- ation of Betting Shops, said: "At present, if the magis- trates turn down an application, all a bookmaker has to do is to appeal at sessions and it. is granted, Saturation point has been reached in London apart from isolated instances. Too many betting shops are not good for the public -- and that in- cludes bookmakers. Unofficial estimates suggest that 20,000 betting shops have opened in Britain in the first year of their operation. Their combined turnover is now run- ning around $60,000,000 a week. And now it is rumored that the Ch llor of the Excheq is preparing to impose a five per cent tax on all bets placed in the betting shops. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM In order to read the hand- writing on the wall, many a per~ son would need a rear-view mir- ror. The devil has been fought with fire on many occasions, but there is no record to show that he has ever suffered from burns. It is reported Castro will learn the Russian language. No doubt he has already learned to say, "Yes, sir," in Russian. BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO The city assessor reported Oshawa's population as 20,516, an increase of 3130 in one year. F, M.
