| She Oshawa Cines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1963--PAGE 6, Agency Would Examine Value Of Insecticides A sensible suggestion was made last week to the Commons food and drugs committee by Professor A. W. A. Brown, head of the j \ zoology department of the Univer- - [ sal was that a central govern- ment agency be set up with suffi- cient federal funds to provide a continuous balanced examination of the value and hazards of insecti- cides. His presentation to the commit- tee was one of the more balanced, even-tempered and authoritative briefs -- which is what one would expect from one of the world's top experts on insecticides. He pointed out that insecticides -- particu- larly DDT -- had saved millions of lives and prevented millions of individual illnesses by their use in post-war years. But at the same time, there are hazards, often un- predictable, and as new compounds are put to work, they should be constantly checked and evaluated for their effect on human, wild- life and insects, Ee of Western Ontario. His pro- He praised the efforts of the government to set safety levels in the use of insecticides, but said the tolerances in terms of human hazards were extremely conserva- tive. The use of chamicals to control insect attacks on crops and forests had to be balanced against the effect on wildlife and fish. The report of his speech did not show how much he elaborated on this: matter of balance, but this is at the heart of the controversy over pesticides and _ insecticides. Extremists on both sides have clouded the issue with exaggerated claims about the danger or safety of chemicals. There is a danger; that cannot be denied. What is not known is the extent of the danger, because there is simply not enough evidence in the hands of researchers at present to reach conclusions firm enough to form the basis of policy. That is where the central agency proposed by Prof. Brown would perform an invaluable service. Canadians And Capital It has been charged so often that Canadians are not a venturesome people when it comes to develop- ment of their own economy that most Canadians appear to have come to believe that it is so. It now seems almost a cliche to say that Canadians would rather put their money into bonds than into risk ventures and would be safe than take a risk for a big gains. How much truth is there in this belief? Not too much, the Monetary Times argues. While there is cer- tainly nothing wrong with safe in- vestments, it is doubtful if Cana- dians have been concentrating upon them to an exclusion of risk capital, the financial paper argues and goes on to say: In this connection, a more de- tailed breakdown study should be made of speculative trading on our various stock exchanges by nation- ality and occupation as well as by corporate and individual activity. More research work should also be undertaken on the speculative ac- tivity of Canadians in local busi- ness, commerce, and finance, Baby Bonus The Royal Commission on taxa- tion was told in Ottawa that it is an "unhappy situation" when the government hands out family allo- wances with one hand and collects sales tax on children's clothes with the other. The representation was made by manufacturers of. chil- dren's clothing. It could be the government's answer that the baby bonus pays the sales tax, the Sudbury 'Star notes, "Or that the baby bonus payments are widely used for many purposes other than the purchase of children's clothing." The Star continues : This situation is no more "un- happy" than the politics involved in the Ottawa government's '$500 "gift" to encourage winter housing The Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

The obvious answer is in greater co- operation that can only be fully effected by a better understanding and application of our own efforts on our own behalf, After all, we are a nation of less than 20 million people in an area of about 3.5 million square miles. While this situation makes it necessary that we have large amounts of foreign capital for spe- culative expansion, we should cer- tainly no longer ignore or belittle our own efforts. By proper research studies along these lines, we might well encourage them. At the same time, we should recognize more clearly the nature and results of actual foreign capital that is in partnership with local efforts. This form of capital should be distinguished from that which is taking over outright ownership of our national. economy, And Taxes The government does ownership construction, "forgive" sales tax on building This means it gets back the $500, the time the house is completed. The proposal is in character with taxa- tion policies of past Liberal gov- ernments in which a seeming bene- fit turned out to be higher cost. not materials. plus some more, by Like the "double shuffle" on per- sonal income tax a few years ago, and the forced acceptance of the baby bonus when it was found that many wage earners had discovered it to be to their personal.income tax advantage not to accept the baby bonus. Whenever the government pre- sumes to make "gifts" to thé people it is wise to follow the adage about looking a gift horse in the mouth. What it gives with one hand it takes away with' the other. After all, taxation is the main source of government revenue. Where the doctrine of socialism falls flat on its face is in trying to "sell" the people on the idea they get some- thing for nothing.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The contents of the vast storehouse of historical records contained in the Pub- lic Record Office, have now been revealed to the public. For the first time in 40 years, the Public Records Office has purchased a complete catalogue and guide to what has been de- scribed as the backbone of Britain's civil, ecclesiastical and political history. The term treasure-house used in describing these records is quite apt, for in the time of the Norman kings the records of the King's Court were accounted part of the Royal treasure and were housed in. whatever pal- ace the monarch of the day happening to be using. These archives have no equal any- where in the world. They range from the Domesday Book, com- pleted in the year 1087 right down to the work of modern ministries as recently as 1960, These records occupy 50 miles of shelving, 30 miles in the Pub- lic Record Office in Chancery Lane, just off Fleet Street, and 20 miles in a repository at Ash- bridge' Park, in Hertfordshire, MUCH UNSORTED That, however, is whole collection. In a former factory at Hayes in Middle- sex, and an extension at nearby Reading, a still vaster quantity of documents is still being pro- cessed, which is the term used for the task of sorting them out either for destruction or prescr- vation, according to their worth, Within the collection -- itself, there are still historical discov- eries yet to be made. One entry in the catalogue reads "Chan- cery Files, Henry. II to 1921, 1300 files, bundles and sacks, most of them still unsorted and unlisted." Many of the entries in the new guide are bound to pro- duce a thri!] for even a jayman who has an interest in things historical. There are exchequer accounts from the time of King John to George HI which in- clude "wages for krights, arch- ers and men at arms" There are the indentures for the pawning of the Crown Jewels for the payment of troops, especially during the reign of Henry V, and the roii of the army which fought at the TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 12, 1963 . . .

A longer period 'than 50 years is ordered only when disclosure would affect national security or embarrass people, or the families of people, named in them, For some documents the period has been shortened to five years, and others are open without any restriction as to their age, Different Methods Of Starting Heart, By Joseph G. Molner, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Because you have a special talent for expressing yourself simply and directly, we ask you to please describe how the heart may possibly be made to start beat- ing again by working on the chest from the outside -- "thumping on the chest." -- SEVERAL GRATEFUL READ- ERS Thank you for your kind words. How well I can answer your question is another mat- ter. The simple explanation is that the heart muscle, in response to a stimulus carried along a nerve tract, contracts, This con- traction squeezes the blood through a series of valves and chambers inside the heart. mus- cle which is shaped something like a hollow globe. Whether "chest thumping" can start a heart depends, for one thing, on what made it stop, If a massive coronary throm- bosis, for example, has oc- curred, no amount of effort is going to make that heart start beating: It has been too funda- mentally damaged. On the: other hand, if a tem- porary incident has stopped the heart, perhaps a shock of some kind, but the organ itself is healthy, some. other sort of shock sometimes incites it to contract. In other words, beat. And very often a heart then picks up its accustomed rhythm and just keeps on beating as it did before. Sometimes a hard thump on the chest is enough to start a stopped heart, The reason is nét thoroughly understood -- but it works, More recently, have been found. An electro- stimulator is used in a good many hospitals--pulses of elec- tric current are passed through the body at intervals equivalent to normal heart rate, The pulses of current make the heart con- better ways tract. Then it relaxes when the. current stops, is repeated. And the process CARPET ANY 282 King W. 728-9581 BROADLOOM TILE If ic seat chest already has been opened surgically, sterile metal paddies or plates can be put in direct contact with the heart, but it is some- times possible to achieve re- sults with the electrodes out- side the body. Another method is heart mas- sage, which consists of rhyth- mically squeezing the heart. This keeps blodd flowing, and most particularly flowing to the brain which can be permanen- tly damaged by. having circula- tion cease for only a few min- utes. But this massage also sometimes succeeds in getting the heari to pick up a normal beating rhythm, too. (There are instances of doctors cutting open a "dead" person's chest with a penknife, and starting heart massage with successfull results, Still more recently, a method of external pressure--stimulat- ing the heart by pressing heav- ily on the sternum or breast- bone--has been developed. The pressure, rhythmically applied, keeps blood moving through the heart and thus through the brain, until the heart, whether by injection of drugs, use of electroshock, or other means brings to beat again. I cannot give you all of the "whys" but at least those are the "hows" of starting a Stopped heart. COMBATS MOTORISTS AMPTHILL, England (CP) -- Sir Albert Richardson, former Royal Academy president, ob- jects to motorists parking out- side his 18th century Bedford- shire home.

OTTAWA REPORT Cheers For Leader Don't Hide Split By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- "Anything they can do, I can do better" was the theme of Tory Leader Dief- enbaker's colorful castigation of the Liberal government before an audience of 400 party mem- bers here. The occasion was the half-yearly closed meeting of the 120 members of the national executive of the party. His "fiery speech," said the cliches of journalism, was "cheered till the rafters rang." But these formal political oc- casions are always followed by informal post-mortem examina- tions in Ottawa. And the find- ings by the coroners at this in- quest have been contradictory and significant. Did you notice the inconsis- tent numbers in my first para- graph? Many Conservatives here are savagely critical, be- cause' all Tory senators and MPs and other special guests were invited "to sit in, but not participate" as the national di- rector, Dick Thrasher, told me. The presence of that huge ma- jority of non-members put the closed council meeting out of order; but it ensured the pres- ence of the pro - Diefenbaker cheering section of Prairie MPs to make the rafters ring. LEADERSHIP BATTLE Mr. Diefenbaker related that there is. still a split in. the party about his leadership, and said that he would lay his leadership on the line at the annual gen- eral meeting of the party next February. This is the second point argued in the post mor- tems, any rightly say that an an- nual general mecting is not a leadership convention, and it is wrong to attempt to convert it into one. As a routine formality --like saying grace before the banquet--a '"'vote of confidence in the leader" is always passed unanimously by a _ show of hands. In contrast, a vote to choose a leader must be by secret 'ballot. But the annual pat - on - the- back does not necessarily mean anything. In fact, within three months of receiving that: routine courtesy, one leader was thrown out--a man who, after a long and successful term in the little league as premier of Manitoba, unhappily strayed into the fed- eral field where he was far out of his depth and could achieve no electoral success. There are two factions within the Conservative party today, just as there are two within the Liberal party--those who want Prime Minister Pearson to be replaced by Bob Winters, and those who don't. Talks with a cross-section of Tories on Par- liament Hill show that some be- lieve in John Diefenbaker's fu- ture, while others believe he is past, TWO TORY MINDS The former assert that Dief- enbaker is still an appealing leader, Their applause for his oratory made the rafters ring. "So what' ask the others; if Ottawa's Paul Anka crooned be- fore an audience of 400 in that same hall, he would be ap- se ype until the rafters rang. ut singing a song or making a speech does not reflect the capabilities needed to govern a complex country now in deep and varied difficulties, the cri- tics argue, nor the skill re- quired to plan the economic, so- cial and military 'Security of 19,- 000,000 souls. But look at Diefenbaker's great past achievements as a stump spellbinder, as a painter of visions, and as a man not disheartened by failures, urge his supporters. And the others in reply sug- gest an unbiased appraisal of the present situation, and ask: "Why cannot he see 'his contra- diction in urging Prime Minis- fer Pearson now to take so many steps which he himself could have taken, yet failed to initiate? Why does he now, at his great age, needlesslv strive to gild his niche in history? Why would he not accept medi-: cal opinion that 'he could not endure another election cam- paign like the last'? How coud he ever again expect to com- mand loyalty and respect with- in a cabinet, after turning half his ministers against him?" But he is still the same gol- den - woiced John Diefenbaker, counter his supporters, And so the post-mortems continue. QUEEN'S PARK Lures Oilmen - LONDON (Reuters)--About 20 of the world's major oil com-- panies are engaged in a big« scramble to find oil or natural - gas under the grey, restless. north sea, British oil technicians, who. have raised their gaunt oil drill- ing rigs in deserts and jungles around the world, have high hopes oil can be found nearer home, possibly on England's doorstep, off the Yorkshire coast or even the Dogger Bank. The discovery of oil or na- tural gas in significant quanti- ties could revolutionize the Brit, ish gas industry, But there is a big snag to be overcome before Britain could enjoy the benefit of any such strike--the question of . owner-. ship of the North Sea bed and any wealth found there, Prospects of finding oi] under the North Sea were boosted by the recent discovery of natural gas fields, said to he the third largest in the world, in the Groningen province of The .Netherlands, PROMISING REGION Geologically, this find, linked with the small strikes in the eastern part of the English Midlands, makes the North Sea a promising region. Geologists believe the most promising areas for mineral prospecting for the future may prove to be the continental shelves, which total some 10,- 000,000 square miles mrongnont the world, Premier May Face Pension Troubles By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Premier Robarts may be running into a road- block in his stand on the Can- ada Pension Plan, All along Mr. Robarts has as- sumed, and has. been conceded by the federal government, the right to object widely to the fed- eral plan, And he may have been taking too much for granted. NOT "AFFECTED" The basis for Ontario's right to object is a 1951 amendment to the BNA Act, section 94A, This says, in essence, that no federal legislation may "affect the operation" of any provincial law on old age pensions, When you get down to bare bones it can be very strongly argued that the Canada plan does not affect the operation of any Ontario statute. The portable pensions pro- gram, the only Ontario statute concerned, could operate within the Canada plan. In view of Mr. Robarts ap- parently stiffening stand to- wards the federal plan he might be reminded of this.

OTTAWA'S BUSINESS He also might find himself out in left field on his most appealing argument, There is little question that this has been concern over the future of the existing 5,000 pen- sion plans in Ontario, His most frequent question has been as to what would hap- pen to these plans if the Canada plan were in operation. If Ottawa wanted' to take a firm stand against Mr. Robarts it could ask him frankly what business is this of his. There is no question of pro- vincial rights involved, About the only justfication Ontario's premier has for this argument is a fatherly interest in the welfare of a portion of Ontario's citizens, And Ottawa could say that is our business not yours, This is our business, it is our program, we are the ones who are affect- ing these existing plans, and it is up to us not you to deal with the people concerned, If you want to represent them go out and get yourself retained on a legal brief as their agent. Mr, Robarts also would not have any strong ground for bat- tle on the fact that Quebec is opting out. For Premier Lesage proposes fo start a universal, funded plan in his province. And the Canada plan, of course, would "affect the operation' of such a program, With this back-ground it will be interesting to see whether the surface good-will which has existed between Ottawa and the province continues.
