g | She Oshawa Me Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1963--PAGE 6 Member Probes Views Of His Constituents Considered interest' has been stirred by a poll taken by Reid Scott, New Democratic member of Par- liament for Toronto Danforth. Mr. Scott sent 25,000 questionnaires to homes in his riding; he wanted to get a cross-section of the opinion of his electors on important issues faced by Canadians. It involved an enormous amount of work, but the result may give the inquiring Mr. Scott a clear understanding of the thinking of his constituents than probably most of Parliament can honestly claim. Toronto-Danforth is not Canada, of course. It may not even be re- presentative of Canada -- but it could very well be representative of large urbancentres in English- speaking Canada. Her are some of the results of the poll: A very heavy majority -- 10 out of every 11 -- favored a federally operated sweepstake; 75 per cent favored payment of old age pen- sions at age 65; a slight majority opposed the lowering of the voting age to 18, the increasing of {mmi- gration quotas and the retaining of the death penalty for murder; five out of six of those responding disagreed with Quebec's claim that it has been treated unfairly by the rest of the country, and thought that Quebec had done quite well out of Confederation. These were among the _ initial results of the Mr. Scott's tabulation which,, apparently, is incomplete, so that we can expect more informa- tion about the thinking in Toronto Danforth. Mr. Scott is too believe that a public precede every government intelligent to opinion poll should decision. At the same time, public cannot be ignored. The public can be informed; the public there are opinion can be persuaded; but times when the public cannot be pushed, and there are times when the public is well ahead of the legis- lators. One note of -caution: Survey questions can be weighd to obtain a desired answer. Health Service Needs The report of the Royal Commis- sion on Health Services is expected some time in January. One of the subjects the report is expected to discuss is the supply of doctors and dentists, The question of supply is, of course, fundamental to, any con- sideration of a nation's health ser- vices. The most elaborate health plan conceivable cannot work if a country lacks the trained personnel to make it work. The Association of Medical Colleges, in its brief to the Royal Commission, recommended that four new medical schools be established within the next ten years, These schools would help meet the need for training an esti- mated 17,000 to 18,000 doctors by 1980. ' In addition to more facilities for the study of medicine and dentistry the ACMC has pointed to the neces- sity of easing the financial burden entailed in such studies, According to Bureau of Statistics figures, the expenses of medica] students aver- age $2,246 per year, compared to $1,352 for arts and science stu- Canadian dents. Dental students' costs aver- age an even higher $2,465 a year. Some' provinces provide help for medical and dental students. The Newfoundland government recently announced a $4 million program to underwrite the training of 300 doc- tors and 30 dentists. In return, stu- will agree to practice for eight years in the province, four of the years being in government ser- dents vice. The need in Newfoyndland. is acute. Saskatchewan $150,000 annually will spend up .to on scholarships and bursaries. Manitoba has a pro- the past five years has assisted an aver- medical and 13 dental amounts averaging bursaries of gram of bursaries which over age of 10 students. with $660. Ontario $1,000 a year for up to:three years offers for dental students and four years for medical students. Each scheme requires bursary. recipients to pra¢- tice for a stipulated term in the province, It's fairly that both the colleges and the students heed more clear assistance. Bad Holiday Mixture If the: average Canadian citizen were to read "deadly combination -- do not mix" on containers of liquids, we have.no doubt he would heed the warning and would keep the two potential trouble-makers a safe dis- tance apart. Unfortunately, a like does not.exist when the chemicals involved are gasoline (in an auto- mobile's fuel tank) and alcohol (in the motorist's blood stream). wariness One of the greatest human fal- belief of too driving alcoholic is the that than lacies many with drink the belt" is unwise and dangerous for the fellow, they can retain their alertness and reflexes in top condition even with three or four of the Safety experts, acquainted the collected over She Ostyaroa Times drivers while more "under one other same brew. with statistics the SON din 425 "\ 640° Cathcort SUBSCRIPTION RATES y carriers in Oshawa, Whitby Be Perry niversity Street, Ajox, , Po Prince Frenchman's Bay, ton, Enniskillen Cloremont, Blackstock, over tario) Other ommonweolth 15,00, F Countries U.S.A, end foreign 24.00, years, that bottle of beer may appreciably lower co-ordination while at the same time installs a false sense of alert- ness in the mind of its host.

When is an operation necessar --HS Massage of this sionally can contro] enlarge- ment, but there usually comes a time when surgery is the only answer. Various degrees of en- largement can exist. In general these are the indicating that removal is necessary Great frequency of urination or seven times in the ight, disturbing sleep and thus undermining health gland occa- clues Tests which show that an ounce or more of urine remains in the bladder after urination. This invites irritation and infec- tion Greatly diminished force of the urinary stream Lumps in the gland could mean cancer Of course the absolute indica- tion of need for surgery is com- plete obstruction of urinary flow. One or more of the other symptoms will have occurred before complete obstruction Prostatism is primarily a problem of older men, but re- member that age no longer is a factor in whether surgery should be performed. Further, there are various surgical approaches which can be adapted to suit the patient's general condition, if other infirmities exist. In short, don't b etoo insistent on avoiding the' operation.

Would-be hunters from this Capital normally have to jour- ney over 100 miles north of here, into the uncomfortable unsettled country beyond Maniwaki; and of course they traditionally use a rifle. But Marlene Myers hit her half-ton moose with her lit- tle car, unerringly aimed on Highway 401 beside the St. Law- rence Seaway. She did $300 worth of damage to the grill and windshield of her car, but she only immobilized her moose, breaking its two front legs. Ht was dispatched by an armed po- liceman, unprepared to see a live moose so far south. The Canadian delegation . to the annual conference of NATO Parliamentarians has just re- GALLUP POLL turned from Paris--not hailed as veterans of the night spots in Place Pigalle as was the dele- gation last year. Reynold Rapp, the Conserva- tive M.P for Humboldt-Melfort- Tisdale, Sask., tells me that he was happy and surprised to find that much of the time of the con- ference was spent in discussing mutual interests other than mil- itary. He himself was appointed to the Scientific and Technical Committee, and he delivered a speech describing what Canada is doing in the way of prairie farm rehabilitation. It surprised him to find much time devoted to considering the acute shortage of fresh water many NATO countries, where there is insufficient pure water for alimentary and agricultural purposes. It was urged that all countries should collaborate in research into, and the develop- ment of, suitable facilities for converting sea water into salt- free pure water. This work would be of great value to parts of Canada. Hosts and hostesses on Parlia- Most Canadians Assert Confederation Secure By CANADIAN INSTITUTE of PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) The possibility of Confedera- tion breaking up is not a danger, in the opinion of the majority of Canadians Little more than one in 10 people think that the differences between various parts of Can- ada threaten Confederation. This is an improvement over two decades ago when nearly two in ten did not think Con- federation could withstand sec- tional differences Confidence in- Confederation is strongest in Ontario where 81 per cent of the people think whatever differences there are, can be solved. Quebec, on the other hand, is not so sure, al- though a healthy majority, 60 per cent, see no reason to fear any disunity. Thirteen per cent say that Confederation is threa- tened. The Question: 'Some people say the differences between var- ious parts of Canada are now so great they will never be solved, and that Confederation will break up. Do you agree or not?"' 1945 Today Agree, will break up 18% 12%, Disagree, will not 63%, 72%, No opinion 19%, 16% 100% 100%, ment--Hill_have felt constrained. to hide their bottle under a bu- shel in recent years. But happy days are here again. Mrs. Jean- Marie Dessureault, the charm- ing wife of the prominent Que- bec senator, recently' gave a party in honour of Mrs. Maurice Bourget, the wife of the Speaker of the Senate. One hundred and fifty guests were received by the hostess and by Mrs. Lester Pearson in the Senate drawing room at what was openly de- scribed, not under the previous euphemism of "a late afternoon reception', but openly and frankly as "a champagne party." BUBBLING HOSPITALITY The Italian ambassador, His Excellency Carlo de Ferrariis Saizano, invited fellow diplo- mats, officials and residents and their wives to his luxurious Ot- tawa home to hear a concert by the Boccherini Quintette, which has just completed a suc- cessful concert tour of Canada and U.S.A. The interesting point about this group of five stringed instruments is that they play the music of Luigi Boccherini, "the Italian Mozart', who lived from 1743-1805. His music was not missed in his homeland so rich in art; yet it was only by chance that the celebrated Ital- ian violinist,. Pina Carmirelli, happened to find a complete col- lection of his music in a Paris bric-a-brac shop in 1949. From this lucky chance, Miss Carmir- elli formed the quintette in which she plays first violin, and started the new vogue for this forgotten composer's delightful music, FAMOUS VIOLIN Miss Carmirelli uses one of the best and most famous vio- lins made by the great Stradi- varius. This treasure is the prop- erty of the Italian government, which gave her permission to use it on this recent tour of Canada.
