"Bhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1963------PAGE 6 Compensation Arranged For Victims _ New Zealand was the first Com- monwealth country to adopt the ombudsman, or citizens' protector, plan -- a system which calls for the appointment of a special commis- sioner to investigate citizens' com- plaints against bureaucrats. Now New Zealand has done it again, this time becoming the first nation in the world to enact legislation under which limited compensation will be payable to innocent victims of violent crime or their dependents. Under a criminal injuries com- pensation bill introduced in the New Zealand House of Representatives last week by the justice minister, compensation will be awarded at the discretion of a crimes compen- sation tribunal. Limits will broadly follow ceilings set in the New Zealand Workers' Compensation Act. We do not know the details of the legislation, but we agree whole- Of Crime heartedly with the principle. The Canadian government should care- fully examine the New Zealand act and prepare similar legislation for presentation to our Parliament. When a man is sent to jail for some vicious crime of violence, he serves his term, and thus "pays his debt to society". But is the debt paid? What about the damage done his victims, who may have suffered physical injury or uninsured pro- perty loss? What about the hospital bills and the time lost from work? What about mental suffering? It seems to us that the debt is far from being paid. The principle of compensation is at least partially recognized in pro- vincial legislation affecting victims of traffic accidents. It is strange that our governments do not also recognize the liability of other offenders in the matter of compen- sation for victims. Safety League Birthday " On Sept. 15, 1918, a meeting was held by 21 prominent. citizens at Queen's Park, and the following resolution was unanimously adopt- ed: "That it is the opinion of the meeting that an association be formed to devise and provide means for the protection of the public against dangers on the streets." And that was how the Ontario Safety League was born. The newspapers that reported the event carried these items: Party lines were crossed in Prince Edward Island, when seven Conservatives joined with two Liberals to oppose a new measure that would allow the use of auto- mobiles in the province; there were 25 autos on the island, their use restricted to three days a week; several anti-auto associations were active. > A dispatch from France: "The great success of President Poin- gare's motor tour in central France has shown the wisdom of the Presi- The Supply Saskatchewan's medicare con- troversy and the movement toward bocialized medicine are not frighten- ing young Canadians who plan to enter the medical profession, the Sudbury Star notes.

Now one of the most pressing problems of our time is "the protection of the public against dangers cn the streets." The public, of course, must provide the protection for itself, because it creates the dangers. The Ontario Safety League plays a vital part in the endeavor to bring the driving public to a full realization of its responsibilities. Of Doctors to the medical profession as a career. This léads to the conclusion that any fears that a national me- dical plan or "socialized" medicine will discourage young people from entering the medical profession are ill-founded. And it also points to the need for expended facilities to give every young man and woman the opportunity to follow the career of their choice. Controversy .in Canada over Sas- katchewan's medicare plan has turned the spotlight on the medical profession and it is being more closely examined by the public than ever before. The news report on applications and admissions to medical schools in Canada is reveal- ing if it is true that many young people are denied the opportunit; to enter the medical profession be- cause of the inability of universities to admit them.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Once again a plan, and the most ambitious one yet proposed, for the re- development of the whole of the Piccadilly Circus area has been thrown out by the ministers of housing and transport. Over a period of years, several plans have been put forward by de- velopment companies, but all of them have been rejected as be- ing unsuitable for this throb- bing centre of London's West End. The Plan which has now been rejected by the two govern- ment departments is one which was presented by the London County Council. This body has commissioned Sir William Hol ford, a planning authority, to draw up a plan for the rede- velopment of Piccadilly Circus, taking into account the needs of the future. His plan was an elaborate one, including a pool and plaza, underground pedestrian sub- ways, and a relocation of the famous Eros statue which is a central feature of the area. TRAFFIC PROBLEM Sir William Holford's plan has been rejected by the ministries of housing and transport sole- ly, it would appear, on the ground that it did not make adequate provision for the grow- ing vehicular traffic which would become heavier in vol- ume with each successive year. The letter from the two minis- tries to the LCC said that the proposals should be re-examin- ed so as to provide additional capacity for the expected in- crease in traffic. It said: "Since December, 1961, when the minister of transport said in principle that the plan would be acceptable, the pressure on road space in central London has increased faster than was expected. All the evidence makes it clear that an even bigger increase can be expect- ed over the next two decades. As the proposals now stand, do not do enough to pro- vide for the inevitable increase in traffic. They are bound to create a bottleneck at a key GALLUP POLL junction in the centre of Lon- don." FIGURES HAVE RISEN The ministries estimate that the Piccadilly scheme should allow for an increase of about 50 per cent over 1960 figures. In 1960, 56,359 vehicles passed through Piccadilly Circus in the 12 daylight hours per day. In 1962 the figure had risen by some 10 per cent to 62,109. The new scheme of redevelop- ment should allow for about YOUR HEALTH $5,000 vehicles passing in the 12 hours of daylight. The ministries' letter says that it is difficult to combine the crucial intersection of traf- fic routes and a major attrac. tion for pedestrians. It says: 'This 'dilemma is inescapable and any comprehensive scheme, which will set the pattern of development around the Circus for generations to come, wouid fail in one of its most impor- tant functions if it did not make reasonable provision for the great increase in road traffic which has to be expected at this already heavily-loaded point." It is suggested that the Lon- don County Council should now ask Sir William Hol'ord to take another look at his plans, and make recommendations as 'to how the additional traffic capa- city can be achieved. Surgery On Nose No Easy Project By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My prob- lem is a large nose. I hope you can recommend a plastic sur- geon in my vicinity. I've heard that the price for a nose opera- tion ranges from $300 to $500. Is this true? What about the sur- gery? --BC. If the size or shape of your nose is annoying enough to war- rant an operation, consult a plas- tic surgeon, Your estimate of the cost is reasonably correct, but it may vary. This is not minor surgery. It entails problems far beyond the removal of some tissue. Cosmetic. plastic surgery de- mands.gareful study of the face, from the sides and the front, with photographs. or sketches. Then measurements are made to determine how much bone and other tissue must be re- moved to give the desired ef- fect. Some people with an over- sized nose (or other features they don't like), jump to the conclusion that correcting the fault will change their appear- ance completely, It won't. It will change just the nose. In short, they expect too much, and the only safe and sensible course is to make sure that they know the limitations in advance. I am not saying this to dis- courage plastic surgery, but to Various Ideas Offered To Solve Unemployment By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) More than three in 10 Cana- dians claim that the fedczal government is not doing a good job in handling the unemploy- ment problem. Gallup Poll interviewers then asked this 33 per cent of the people what they thought the federal government should do to improve the unemployment situation, Creation of more jobs and "make work" programs were the main suggestions that came to the top. Criticism of the bud- get and of the government's fi- nancial policies were also: voic- ed as a cause for unemploy- 'ment. Less spending. on defence, & better system of loans and lower taxes were among other suggestions. One in 10 of those who dis- approve of the government's handling of unemployment criti- cized the unemployment insur- ance fund. They claim "too many are collecting it who do not want to work" and that it should be eliminated entirely. Other people called for gov- ernment development of more industry; for elimination of the 11 per cent sales tax on build- ing materials; for restrictions on immigration; for incentives to Canadian-owned industries and for provision of more train- ing programs for workers. Fi- nally, 5 per cent of those inter- viewed said there should be re- ,Strictions against married women working outside their homes.

He can give you an ac- curate estimate. I can't recommend a surgeon. Ask your own regular physician. He knows your circumstances. You can also inquire at a good hospital, or else consult your area's medical society. Dear Dr. Molner: What causes my skin to be extremely sensitive after shaving? I am 63 and have only been bothered -- this in recent months, -- Skin texture can become more sensitive with age. This condi- tion doesn't always occur, how- ever. Consider the more frequent possibilities that are found for such sensitivity: 1, Have you changed your shaving soap or cream re- cently? If so, go back to the one you formerly used. 2. Is your razor adjustable? If so, changing it to a lighter set- ting may be helpful. (You might also note whether you have switched the brand of blades. A keener blade, which may cost a bit more, may be a_ profit able investment for comfort.) 3. Consider changing from a razor to an electric shaver. 4. Wash the face with warm water before applying shaving soap or cream. This will soften the beard and permit shaving with less irritation. 5. And last of all, what about after-shave lotions? The skin may be sensitive to something in one brand but not in another.

OTTAWA REPORT Tax Major Item In Cost Of Drugs By PATRICK NICHOLSON family spent $24.30 on shaves ans 'spend on rugs? "What eadians nd on J do os ter see rs ma low have drug moved during the post - war years of inflation? These are questions which should be probed by the House of Commons committee on pes- 'ticides and drugs which will begin public hearings when Par- liament reassembles at the end of the month. Parrot cries have reiterated that the prices of drugs pre- scribed by doctors are unduly high and should be reduced. Sensation - seekers assert that sick Canadians are bled white by apy | drug costs, But a thorough study of the situation reveals the startling truth: The only body which is profiteering from sickness is the federal government. It, alone among governments around the world, charges a luxury sales tax of 11 per cent on drugs. It makes more out of your illness than the drug manufacturers do. AVERAGE BILL LOW Are Canadians financially crippled by drug costs? The fact is that a 1962 survey of a drug prescription in Can- ada is $3.14. Almost nine of 10 prescriptions cost less than $5. The only Canadians on whom the price of drugs imposes a hardship are the chronically ill, mostly older people, who have to use drugs continually. Most Canadians are actually saved money by drugs, which shorten or prevent costly illnesses, The federal government has published a report of average family spending during 1959 in Canada. This shows that the av- erage Canadian bought pre- scribed drugs costing $6.02 dur- ing that year. Yet in the same year the average Canadian city TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 17, 1963... 'The Canada Steamship Lines passenger vessel No- tonic was destroyed by fire at her dock in Toronto har- bor 14 years ago today--in 1949--taking the lives of 119 persons.

Drugs, despite criticism by the ill-informed, are about the only commodity which have actually fallen in price during the last 14 years of inflation. The price index of Canadian drugs now is90.5 compared with the base index of 100 in 1949, In vivid contrast, the index of all consumer prices has soared to 133 from 100 in those same years. 5 Our drugs prices today are among the lowest in the West- ern world in many lines, both worker to earn their cost. For example, a normal dose of the antibiotic tetracycline -- effec- tive against many types fever; influenza and pneumonia -- costs $5.10 in the United luxury sales tax of 11 which is not impo es TAXES EXCEED PROFITS M3 yore records of 40 le ig Cana drug compa- nies -- 1960 were recently. analysed by Clarkson, Gordon and Company, the well-known firm in which Finance Minister Walter Gordon was until re- cently a senior partner. Those companies made total sales of $126,000,000 during 1960. Out of that, only $7,000,000, or 5% per cent, remained as net profit after costs. But the federal gov- ernment took $8,000,000 in sales taxes, and $7,000,000 in corpor- ation taxes, thus making more than twice as much out of your sickness as the drug companies in actual terms and in relation did, QUEEN'S PARK Defensive Stand Taken By Tories By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--A distinct differ- ence in this campaign is that the government has been on the defensive. It is a long time since this has happened in an Ontario election. First George Drew and then Leslie Frost went to the country on. their records. Any govern- ag of course, is forced to do this. But while on their records they would actually be on the offensive. Mr. Frost would take a "let them top that" attitude and ring out his list of achievements as though he were storming the battlements. In this election the opposition got the government off balance with the pensions question. At the time of writing it still has it that way. Certainly in the first stage of the campaign the only lively part of Premier Robarts' speeches was in his attacking Liberal Leader Wintermeyer for attacking him. NAMES TOO The campaign has also been unusual in that personalities have figured in it. Name-calling has been not- ably absent from Ontario elec- tions in recent years. This also was a key charac- teristic of Mr. Frost's cam- Paigning.

The former premier believed firmly in ignoring the opposi- tion if possible. Why build it up through publicity? In his first campaigns he got through without referring to the opposition at all. Latterly, after there was a question of "scandals," he had to pay some attention to it. But still he only did the necessary. In this campaign both 'he gov. ernment and the NDP have been trying to make a major issue out of the capacity or incapacity of John Wintermeyer. And Mr. Wintermeyer, of course, has alleged that the pre- mier is a servant of the private insurance companies. MEDICARE NEXT? Watch now to see if the main fight in the campaign may turn to medical care. Mr. Robarts has given Ottawa assurance of co-operation on the pension plan. His pledge was far from positive but it may have been enough to take the heat off for the rest of the cam- paign. If the medicare battle is en- gaged it also probably will cen tre on private insurance. EQUITABLE LIFE APPPOINTMENT H.
