She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E,, Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JULY 22, 1963----PAGE 6 ig Planning Leadership Called For By Reeve Reeve Norman Goodhead is not one of our favorite politicians, but we can fully agree with him in his eriticism of provincial planning and with most of his suggestions for improving that planning. There is a dismal lack of planning leadership by Queen's Park. The re- sult, as Mr, Goodhead points out, is that frequently the plans of adjoin- ing municipalities do not mesh, as they should, but clash and lead to all sorts of difficulties - generally costly ones for the taxpayers in- volved, Another result is urban spraw! and the loss of park and farm land, often irreplaceable He notes that uncontrolled de- velopment is constantly eating up fertile farm fields, while land not suited to agriculture lies untouch- ed. The Kingston Whig-Standard points out that "he might have ad- ded that what is worse, in certain areas of the province, notably in the Niagara Peninsula, land specu- laters are buying up huge tracts of the best: in agricultural land and it, too, is lving dormant while the speculators: wait for the "big pay- oft' when urban spraw! catches up to their holdings." Mr. Goodhead's solution is the development of satellite towns and cities, similar to what has been, and is still being done, in Britain, Since he was talking principally about the Metropolitan Toronto area, he sug- gested that these satellites be with- in a radius of 50 to 100 miles of Metro, This would enable the size of the Metro complex to be con- trolled, something which badly needs doing. He and something which has been advocat- ed in these columns several years that the provincial gov- ernment provide the leadership nec- if Ontario is not to become hodge-podge of in- The government also urged -- this is for essary an dividual schemes, could accomplish the purpose by set- ting up a regional framework with- in which the various municipalities incoherent could work. Ideally, of course, the municipal structure itself could be revised to provice Tor iarger muni- cipal units with more economic and geographic sense, But this would eall for political courage of a very high order Quebec Gospel-Spreader The Quebee government has ap- pointed' a special official to deal with French Canadian cultural prod- lems outside the province, Henri Dagneau, a former newspaperman, will take ap his duties on Aug. 15. No details have been given of the functions of Mr. Dagneau, whose ial title is "Director of French lian services outside Quedec," news reports say "it is under- stood he will serve as a liaison of- ficer between the government French Canadian groups and or- ganizations outside Quedec." The new director is responsible te the Quebec ministry of cultural a rs, one of the aims of which is to preserve and extend French language and culture in Quebec and throughout North America through encouragement of literature, art and cultural activities of all sorts The appointment indicates the hening of the Quebec gov- opinion that it heads not s0 Much a province as a state. In- jent. states send cultural rep- ntatives abroad. Provinces ch do so invite the charge of streng! ernmer?r even terference and that is precisely what is likely to happen when Mr. Dagneau starts his- peregrinations in the Anglo-Saxon wilderness, The obvious coolness of some provincial federal proposed prenmuers to tne does look wonder, too, Alberta--- commission lism Dagneau's job One can ld happen if say not make any what wou eaSrer. whose | some searching quest purpose of the bicultural inquiry ---- appointed a man to promote Eng- in Quebec. wonderment Que Lo an expenditure ] ts and problems neglect of the to afford this work lish-speaking activihes And is the abuity o7 en another cau lacing rmous mary ine ona are, however, that ?

Financially the job looks a lot better than it did just a short while ago. Not that the pay is any higher yet. It remains at $7,000 a year--$5,000 indemnity, $2,000 expenses, And only the legisla- ture itself can change this But chances are that once' it meets again--after an election YOUR HEALTH --it will boost it by a good shake. For Quebee has upped its members' pay. And it did a g00d job while it was at it. It now is providing for its members to the tune of $15,000 a year, WILL PROBABLY FOLLOW That's rich music to our members. For they know that now that Quebec has broken the ice we will probably follow No, not $15.000, The Robarts government is a bit more free- minded about. money than its 'Purifying' Blood Old Wives' Tale By J. G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr, Molner: I have been told that drinking cream of tar. tar with water purifies the blood and at the same time thins it Is this true? Do you know of any foods rather than drugs which are good for this pur- pose?--J. C. Old wives' tale. Nonsense This phrase "purifies the blood" is as vague as the one our grandmothers used: "Eat your spinach because it's good for you." To this youngster once retorted it's good for me--but wrong with me?" The blood is fundamentally a purifying agent. It also has some other purposes. It dis- tributes nutrition throughout the body. It delivers fresh oxygen to the tissues. It heals wounds It fights off infection. It car- ries away waste matter So wheh we are told that something or other purifies the blood, it is pretty much like Saying that we ought to add something to soap to "purify the soap." See how silly the phrase is? The expression "thins the blood" doesn't mean anything either. There can be such a thing as thin blood or thick blood, as well as blood that ciois too readily, or doesn't clot readily enough--but all of these are abnormal conditions Before you think about taking foods, or drugs, or anything else, to purify the blood, ask yourself whether your blood is "impure" to start with. Or bet- ter vet, if you are determined to do something about your blood, find out whether anything is wrong with it ai all, Most people have perfectly good bivod, Just as most have per. fectly good livers, kneecans Sweat: giands.or maxillary mus- cles One of the great fallacies about health is that we have to "do something" to stay healthy We don't. As long as we are healthy, we should be content to stay that way. Medicine is to be used only when something goes wrong and has io be changed With the exception of a few basic health + which most of us know very well, we should statement some "So what's that about some Ty to tell us diet purity blood, or helping our bowels, eyes or whatever Dear Dr. Molner: 1 wear a ivers, hearing aid. If a person speaks directly to me, I understand, but not when several talk at the same time. Can anything be done?--E, 0. This is not unusual people with diminished h can hear one voice when rected at them, but ir . with other sounds, bs music, several or any sort of din or confusion of sounds, they are lost A hearing aid helps, but can do only so much In such cases I hesitate to of- fer any suggestions, except to Say that an otologist (ear spe cialist) may be abie to heip some, if not, I recommend studying lip-reading, which wiil help sooner than you think, for even picking up a few words that way will fill in some of the phrases you can' quite distin- guish by hearing NOTE TO MRS, V. R.: I've often heard the old wives' tale that having a chihuahua dog helps bronchitis, but I have never found a 'particle of evi- dence to substantiate it, GALLUP POLL Many Immediate predecessor, But not $15,000 free-minded. That's a bit rich. But the members of the next legislature will probably be grossing about $10,000 or per- haps even $12,000. Nice work if you can get it? It's all right, but don't think it's any bonanza, If you are a conscientious member here you can make an awful hole in 10 or 12 grand. HAVE MANY EXPENSES Chip in for the charities in your riding, give the odd hand- out to the party worker that's up against it, pay your shot to- wards your election expenses and keep your riding sweet in the off-election years, take your trips to Toronto and live there during the session, At the end of the year you can be wonder- ing whether you can afford a new two-pant suit or whether you should get the old one patched. The Quebec brethren don't get any bonanza either. Over the years they always. have been a bit better paid than our members here. And this is quite in order For they work harder, Or at least longer The Quebec session usually tuns about twice as long as ours They just wound up a few days ago, for instance, while we broke off back in April. They don't pass any more legislation than we do. but they pay more attention to it as they pass it PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM It's easier, but slower, for a person to outlive most of his wants than to work nard and satisfy them, "Man dies of heart attack ia Taxi." -- Headline, He was pro- bably ai tightwad who was watching the meter The person who sets out te drown his troubles in drink ine variably gets into deep water. It is wondered why people use the expression, "camping out."" Do people ever camp in?
