She Oshawa Times. Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher - THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Immense Tasks Remain In Public Health Area Some of the immense problems of public health were mentioned by Dr. M. G. Candau, Director-General of the World Health Organization, at the recent annual assembly of the health agency in Geneva. He said: "There are today nearly 380 mil- lion human beings still exposed to malaria without the defence offered by eradication programs. There are probably even now over 10 million sufferers from leprosy, over 4.5 mil- lion from yaws; and there are pos- sibly 400 million victims of tra- choma ; 200 million who suffer from filariasis . . . We cannot even at- tempt to give figures for the in- testinal infections or for tiibercu- losis, all of which are consumers of health and destroyers of life as well." Nevertheless great strides have been taken, even in the more back- ward countries, against disease. As a result, more babies are surviving to become children and adults; more children and adults are living energetic lives, instead of half- living with their energy sapped by pain and illness, Here are some of the achievements in public health listed by Dr. Candau: The eradication of malaria from continental Europe; the drop by 65 per cent in the world incidence of polio between' 1954 and 1960; the drop in the number of smallpox cases around the world from 490,000 reported in 1951 to 62,000 reported through November last year; the reduction in endemic syphilis, pinta and yaws through examination of 285 million and treatment of 38 million patients since 1948; the sponsorship of 175 research projects during 1962. There is an enormous amount of work to be done in this field, and the conscience of humanity de- mends that it be done. But it should also be recognized that every battie won against disease means a more rapid increase in the population of the world. And many scientists re- gard this increase as a greater threat than nuclear. weapons to the long-range welfare of humanity. Planning Danger Seen The Economic Council planned by the Liberal government is expected to be a full-time brains trust, with a high-powered research staff; it will not only set economic goals ' but will suggest means of reaching them. It is unlikely, however, that it will interfere with private deci- sion-making in the economy, its role being "indicative planning". Such planning is now very fashionable among governments. But W. Earle McLaughlin, the Oshawa-raised man who is now president of the Royal Bank of Canada, thinks that making a fetish of planning can be dangerous. In a recent speech, he questioned whether such planning as that ex- pected of the Economic Council will add much to the government's ability to influence the economy, and expressed the thought that it could therefore be a preliminary to direct intervention. "The understandable frustration of indicative planners with extre- mely limited power to translate their plans into action," said Mr. Mc- Laughlin, "may well result in a gradual shift of emphasis from in- Triple Need The first Canadian-U.S. shared holiday each year occurs in the July 1-4 period. Traffic densities average three times normal during international holiday weekends, with the inevitable result -- an increase in traffic accidents. So, if you want to arrive home in one piece after the forthcoming holiday weekend, you'll need three times your normal alertness along with unremitting devotion to the three Cs of safe motoring: Care, courtesy and com- mon sense. During the 1962 summer season -- July, August and September -- there were 1,253 Canadians killed, an increase of over 200 from the previous year, according to Domin- ion Automobile Association records. During the same period over 31,000 Canadians were injured, an increase of 2,000 over 1961. She Oshawa Zines T. L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

'"Hard-nosed ex- perts, civil servants and adminis- trators behind the scenes have ap- plied pressure where they wanted it, while the fruitless rituals of in- dicative planning have been left to the distinguished, but ineffectual, front men on the planning board itself." There is an actute danger that the men behind the scenes will come to have a vested interest. "Plan- ning once begun tends to feed on itself;" Mr. McLaughlin declared, "The dislocations which inevitably occur become the excuse for further plans on an even more grandiose scale." It is one thing if the plan- ners are leaders of industry, labor and finance acting on a consultative basis, but quite another if they are professional planners with a vested interest in continued expansion of the planning apparatus. If Canada must have planning, said Mr. McLaughlin, the new Council should plan only to the extent of making private planning effective in an efficient free market. For Care The extra congestion during the July 1-4 period makes for traffic situations which, in turn, make for impatience which, in turn, makes for chance-taking by normally care- ful drivers. If you go more slowly you see more. If you are not interested in seeing the countryside through which you are passing, the safest way to travel is by air. It's not necessary to travel at 60 miles an hour constantly just because it's legal to do so. While speed in it- self is not the killer, it can be a contributing factor in emergencies where lead time is"insufficient to take avoiding action. Start for home early. Don't suc- cumb to the temptation to put off departure on the return journey until the last minute. Accident fre- quency tends to speak out during the closing hours of the last day of the holiday. Don't expect American visitors to know the vagaries of Canadian motor travel. Remember that many are travelling in territory strange to them. " And treat all other drivers with care and courtesy -- your conduct could be catching.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A mixed recep- tion was accorded to a former high-ranking Nazi officer when he came to London for a semi- official visit. The officer was General Hans Speidel, who held high commands in. Hitler's army in the second world war, but is now commander of the Allied Land Forces in Central Europe under the jurisdiction of NATO. When the general arrived at YOUR HEALTH Northolt Airport of the Royal Air Force, everything was regi- mentally correct. But later, when he arrived at the Royal Military Hospital at Chelsea, the traditional home of the Chelsea pensioners, he was greeted with cries of "Nazi schweinhund". But unruffled, he entered the old building to be the guest of honor at an Army Council dinner. MIXED-UP ARRIVAL At the Hortholt Airport, there was a bit of a mix-up over the arrival of General Speidel. The Medical Purpose Only For Douche By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Please write about feminine hygiene. How often should a woman take a douche unless otherwise advised by her doctor? At what age should a mother advise her daughter to start douching?-- MRS, D. M. G The overwhelming opinion among gynecologists is that the douche should be used for medi- cal purposes only, and that it is not necessary or even advis- able generally. Medication may be necessary for: minor (or even not-so- minor) infections of one kind or another, and the douche is an excellent way of applying it. But: douching is not automati- cally a necessary form of hy- giene when one is in good health. Use a douche when your doc- tor prescribes it. (For example, sometimes a mild acid solution may be required; two table- spoons of vinegar to a quart of warm water is a standard mix- ture.) < However, I am aware that many women have been brought up with the idea that they ought to douche. For them, my sugges- tion is to be sure they don't use solutions that might be harm- ful. Some of the older medica- tions containing carbolic = have been abandoned, becaus even in dilute form they can ir- ritate the membrances. For safety, I suggest a bland and non-irritating solution of a teaspoon of salt to a pint of warm water, if you insist on a douche whether you need one or not. When a medicated douche is TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 20, 1963... A Japanese submarine shelled the federal radio telegraph station at remote Estevan Point on the west coast of Vancouver Island 21 years ago today--in 1942 --but failed to hit the build- ing. The attack lasted some 30 minutes but the shells hit the beach or rocks and the only damage in this first attack on Canadian soil in the Second World War was the breaking of a number of windows. 1946--Fred Rose, Labor- Progressive member of the Canadian Parliament, was sentenced to six years jail for espionage, 1959--A storm in North- umberland Strait took the lives of 35 Canadian fisher- men. in prescribed, it should be taken lying down in a tub, and the Solution allowed to run in slowly. The genital outlet can be closed a bit by finger pressure, to allow some distension of the vaginal tract and thus permit full effect of the medication. Your daughter should be told what a douche is and how it is done as part of her general ed- ucation. It is surprising how many women don't know how to go about this procedure when advised to do so. As to a douch for hygiene, forget it. Dear Dr. Molner: What about fissure of the lower bowel? I have been going to the doctor, and using suppositories and mineral oil, but nothing seems to help. Will it finally heal?-- MRS, N. S§. Your doctor can answer that better than I can. If it is grad- ually healing, stick with the present program. If it isn't-- even having it corrected surgi- cally is the answer. Removing the fissure permits fresh tissue to heal more readily. Dear Dr. Molner: Would it be harmful for a girl of 18 to shave her legs? --G. W. No. FRR EF 2 ape cshes et bungie sumer atgatpllye. Se ae Ae yee sen Memb tee LWAYS PICK ONE'S ALLIES' War Office had announced that he would be arriving in a flight from Paris. The loudspeakers at the airport blared out the an- nouncement, "The arrival of the RAF flight from Paris". But out of a plane which had just flown down from Scotland stepped the general. He had been up in that country for a week's holiday be- fore making his visit to London. Everything else was in per. fect order. The RAF band play- ed to mark his arrival. The gen. eral, wearing an Iron Cross covering the knot of his tie and with 23 medals on the breast of his uniform, inspected the guard of honor which had sprung to attention and presented arms in a general salute. Everything was done with military exacti- tude and with all the honors due to a visiting military dignitary. GOOD HOLIDAY General Spedel had a splen- did week's holiday up in Scot- land, said a British officer who had accompanied him on his flight to London. From the Ger- man Embassy came the em. phatic statement that the Scot- tish visit was purely a private one. Nevertheless, while there, he had been the guest of Lieut. General Cir William Turner, general officer commanding the Scottish Command. At Northolt, General Speidel was met by General Sir Richard Hull, Chief of the Imperial Gen. eral Staff, who was host at luncheon at the Cavalry Club. Another guest at the luncheon was Earl Mountbatten, supreme commander of the British arm- ed forces. It was on the way into the Royal Hospital entrance at Chel- sea that the unpleasant incident occurred, He could not help hearing the shouts of "Nazi Schweinhund" which greeted his arrival, but he stolidly ignored them as he went into the build- ing. a D-DAY ANNIVERSARY It may have been only a co- incidence that General Speidel, who was once General Rom. mel's chief-of-staff, but was in prison on D-Day 19 years ago, should have spent the 19th anni- versary of that day in England, visiting Bovington Camp to in. spect the British troops there. On the following day, he visit- ed the Royal School of Artillery, and on the day after that he was one of the visitors in a prominent place at the Troop- ing of the Color by the Guards to mark the official birthday of Queen Elizabeth. ip BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Twenty-one Oshawa children were among the first party to enjoy holidays at the Red Cross Cottage on Lake Ontario.

In that time it has settled down to become a basic fact of national life and the name Golden Kiwi, by which the lottery is known, has entered the language as an expression for good luck, At first the lottery was such a sensational success that sel- lers were unable to keep pace with the demand. Tickets were rationed and drawings were held twice a week. With time, the demand has become more stabilized. Draw- ings are held about once a week. Competition from .over. seas lotteries, at first almost extinguished to the benefit of New Zealand exchange funds, has been renewed in some measure, INCREASE PRIZES . To mark the century, Sir Leon Gotz, minister of internal affairs, who holds responsibility for the lottery, announced in. creases in prizes. The changes OTTAWA REPORT are designed to hold any avail. able lottery funds within New Zealand. The first prize remains at $36,000 but total prize money has been increased to $99,000 for each lottery. Reviewing results of the first 100 lotteries, Sir Leon noted that $9,000,000 had been paid in prizes to 180,000 winners. The government had received $1,- 875,000 in tax and ticket sellers had been paid the same amount as commission. After allowing for advertising and other ex- penses, some $5,400,000 had been available for distribution to good causes. FAVOR LOTTERY The disposal of this largesse has proved the most controver- sial aspect of the lottery. Churches and other anti-gaming interests continue to criticize the whole principle.. But public opnion is so overwhelmngly and obvously in favor of the lottery that its opponents have realized that their views cannot prevail. Criticism of the method of dividing up the proceeds, how- MPs Still Seeking Boost In Salaries By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Hon. Walter Gor- don, introducing his first budget as minister of finance, took un- derstandable pride in announc- ing that his estimated deficit for this year is nearly $200,000,- 000 less than last year. "I have not tried to mini- mize or conceal the various problems we are faced with," he told the House of Com- mons. But this is less than the whole truth, and the deficit will be greater than he estimated. This is because an additional payment of $10,000 per year for every MP and Senator is now reportedly planned by the gov- ernment, but was not mentioned in the finance minister's bud- get. This payment is being pres- sured out of the government by the constant and undignified lobbying already being exerted by newly-elected MPs for an increase in their own salaries. PAY WAS ADVERTISED About 1,000 candidates pre- sented themselves for election as MPs on April 8. They knew the rate of pay offered for the jobs they sought. Their masters and paymasters, who are the electors and taxpayers of Can- The latter can live comfortably and conveniently in his nearby home all the year, taking the 10-minute walk to the Parlia- ment Building to attend sit- tings, and even going home to enjoy his evening meal with his family during the parlia- mentary supper break. Colin Cameron however has to provide a second home for himself and his family in Ot- tawa; and, unless he wishes to spend several days travelling by train on a parliamentary pass, often must pay for his own air fare between his -con- stituency and Ottawa. The dif- ference between his reasonable expenses. and those of Jean Richard 'in this field might amount to $5,000 a year, and this should be allowed for. SKILL MERITS REWARD Then too, every MP has nec- essary expenditures in relation to his constituency: maintain- ing an office there perhaps, paying dues and contributions to local associations and worthy causes, making telephone calls and sending telegrams, and en- tertaining. Here again, distance penalizes the MP from a re- mote constituency, but $3,000 a year for each would be a rea- ble average. ada, might r bly expect that those selected would do the work for which they volun- teered themselves, at the rate advertised for the job, and for up to the normal four-year life of a Parliament. MPs have an implicit responsibility in this, since they are in the unique po- sition of being able to set their own wages. - Havng expressed that point of honor, I do not hesitate to as- sert that the present rates of pay and expense allowance for MPs, being $8,000 and $2,000 a year respectively, are both en- tirely inadequate. Equity, however, demands a more realistic appraisal of ex- penses than has ever been given before; a flat rate for all is neither reasonable nor fair. Contrast, for example, Colin Cameron, MP for Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, and Jean Richard, MP for Ottawa East. Then there is the pay for the job. We want the best available experience, ability and training to run the largest business in Canada. Qualified men and women are worth more than $8,000 a year. A reasonable readjustment would be to pay every MP a basic $12,000 a year, plus $3,000 tax-free expense allowance, plus repayment of necessary and substantiated living and travel expenses up to $5,000 a year, with higher scales than at pres- ent for those in executive posi- tions within the parliamentary framework. But such readjustment would reasonably be made by one Parliament, to come into effect after the ensuing election; thus ensuring not only that MPs get the pay for the job, but that taxpayers get the ability for the pay.

Almost every charity, social tion, arts, sports, recre. ation, youth or other club or society maintains it should re. ceive a share. A few organiza. tions have refused to apply on conscientious grounds, Decisions made by Sir Leon and his advisers brought such a flood of criticism that he now has appointed an_ inter-party controlling board, with six advis- ory committees to consider ap- plications under arts and cul- ture, scientific research, med- ical research, welfare, youth and recreation, and aged infirm headings. Liberals Keep Debating Data OTTAWA (CP)--The Liberals are keeping close tabs on the amount of time opposition mem- bers consume in ons de bates. ; Why collect such information? It can be used as evidence, if the government so desires, to back up any charge of opposi- tion obstruction of the adminis- tration's parliamentary pro- gram. P The former Conservative gov- ernment collected such data in the last Parliament to accuse the opposition parties, particu- larly the Liberals, of obstruc- tion. On more than one occasion in the past, a government has cited opposition obstruction among reasons for calling a general election. Keeping a record on speak- ing times are Liberal whip Alexis Caron (Hull) and deputy whip James Walker (York Cen- tre), who have produced fig- ures for the first 20 days of the parliamentary session up to last Thursday. OPPOSITION TALKATIVE They show that the Conserva- tives are taking the most speak- ing time, With allowances for the un limited speaking time of Prime Minister Pearson and Opposi- tion Leader Diefenbaker, their records give this picture of the six major debates of the ses- sion's first 20 days: Throne speech -- 88 speakers took 31.7 hours in eight days. Both Liberals and Conserva- tives put up 33 speakers, the former consuming 601 minutes and the latter 814. Ten Social Credit MPs spoke for 213 min- utes, 11 New Democrats for 257 minutes and the Independent- Social Credit MP, Dr. Guy Marcoux, 20 minutes, The motion to set up a spec- ial defence committee, debated five days, had 26 speakers talk- ing for 11.4 hours before the motion was adopted. The two Liberal speakers took 123 min- utes, 14 Conservatives 325 min- utes, six New Democrats 164 minutes, three Social. Credit MPs, 66 minutes and Dr. Mar- coux six minutes. UPPLY WAS TOUGH, TOO The government's effort to get interim spending authority, debated two days, took 309 min- utes with 24 speakers, Five Lib- erals took 53 minutes, seven Conservatives 114, three Social Crediters 30 and nine New Dem- ocrats 112.
