ZX THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, January 17, 1904 GOOD EVENING -- By JACKGEARIN -- WITH MR. WALKER, MPP, AT QUEEN'S PARK NOTES FROM THE (QUEEN'S PARK) LEGISLATURE OPENING: The official representative of the United Church of Can- ' @@m Wednesday (when the Legislature opened) was Rev. E, Larke, minister of Albert Street United Church, Oshawa. . Mr. Larke, who attended 'the opening at the request - of Dr. J. R. Mutchmor, Mod- erator of the Church, is also president of the Bay of Quinte Conference of the United Church of Canada -- he came to Oshawa in 1961 from the Springville United Church (near Peterborough). He was a member of the Ohaplaincy service attached to the Canadian Armored Brigade in the Battle of Cas- . sino in the Second World War. There was a cute side story at the Legislature opening, one with an Oshawa angle. : One of the Legislature waV. (A: &. CARRE Page boys was ll-year-old Bruce Macleod, a Grade 7 student at Dr. §. J.

NOTES FROM THE HUSTINGS: The Ontario (Provincial) Riding Liberal Association will play the host role Saturday, February 8, at an important Grit powewow -- it will be a dinner dance to which all City and district party members (also non party-members) will be invited, Members of the Oshawa Riding (Provincial) and On- tario Riding (Federal) Liberal Associations will also be invited to this social-political soiree -- according to President God- frey Schilling, president of the Ontario (Provincial) Riding Association, who said that some "big name" party members from Toronto and Ottawa will attend, 18 FINANCE COMMITTEE POLICY TOO RIGID? Ig the Board of Education's Finance committee too rigid in its policy of restricting admission of fellow-trustees (non- committee members) to iis meetings? Trustee Mangaret Shaw, who loves to call a spade # epede, says it is, and she wants the policy changed pronto. It geems inconceivable that any trustee, as an elected representative of the people, would be barred from any Fi- mance committee meeting, with the possible exception of highly confidential pow-wows where personalities or contract negotiations are discussed. This, in a nutshell, is the gist of Trustee Shaw's argu- ment, It does make sense, more so in view of the fact that there are no such restrictions on their other Standing com- mittee meetings (Property, Management, Building and Plan- ning, Public Relations), Trustee Shaw said she was made to feel "out of bounds" when she attended Finance committee meetings uninvited, but she didn't elaborate or name names. Members of the Finance committee are Trustees Robert Nicol, Stephen Say- well, George Drynan, Dr. A. E. O'Neill, Stanley Lovell and Harold Armstrong. No standing committee is of more importance than that ef Finance which has supervision of all fiscal concerns of the Board and reports on the conditions of the various funds |--about their pay, their duties, TORONTO (CP) -- The oppo- sition voiced criticism but there was no formal opposition Thurs- day to Premier Robarts' pro- posal to reduce the number of standing committees of the On- tario legislature to 10 from 18. The premier's statement was a follow-up to an announcement in the throne speech Wednes- day that the government planned reorganization of four departments and the creation of two new ones -- university af- fairs and energy and resources management. He said Thursday in the leg- islature the reduction in com- mittees would not eliminate any of the functions carried out by the larger number of commit- _|tees. He hoped the regrouping would make it possible for only one committee to. sit at any one time, The premier rejected a sug- gestion by Vernon Singer (L-- Downsview) that committees be reduced to eight or 10 members from the usual total which goes as high as 50. Mr. Robarts said this would exclude members who wanted to serve, Mr, Singer said the reduction in number of committees wa not likely to solve the commit- tee problem. He proposed at- Robarts Proposal Brings Criticism taching civil servants to com- mittees to do research work. Another Liberal, Elmer So, pha, member for Sudbury, said the new 'committee dealing with labor, legal and municipal bills would be overburdened with lawyers who might interfere with labor legislation, Legal and labor legislation should not be handled by the same commit- tee. He said, however, his party would take no steps to form- ally opp the lidation. At the urging of two New Democrats, the premier said he would give the public works 'committee some work to do this session, Ken Bryden of Toronto Wood- bine and NDP Leader Donald MacDonald referred to public works as the 'orphan commit- tee," But Mr, Bryden said fewer committees might pave the way for a smoother operation. The premier said legislature sessions might be eliminated ernment feels it necessary to en- able members to work on stand- ing committees. But he said of committee meetings. LONDON (AP) Drastic overhaul of the Church of Eng- land's parish system --- largely unchanged since the medieval Domesday Book drew boundary lines in rural England -- is ad- vocated in a report released to- day.

Donald BOSTON (AP) -- Two Har- vard researchers said Thursday they have found a radioactive element in cigarette smoke which may be a cause of lung cancer, Dr. Edward P. Radford and Dr. Vilma R, Hunt of the Har- yard School of Public Health, described their report as the first to suggest that radioiso- topes in tobacco are involved in the production of lung cancer. While it has been shown that ionizing radiation can produce cancer in man, Radford said, "we cannot say at this time that we have proven that ra- dicactivity is a cause of lung cancer." Radford and Dr, Hunt, woman, said they found traces of the element polonium in to- bacco. They determined that po- lonium attaches itself to smoke particles and is carried into the brpnchial tubes and lungs, Polonium "may constitute a significant initiator of neopola- in placing priests where most needed. sia (abnormal growth) in the Study Pact First McNaughton Says OTTAWA (CP)--Gen.

ONTINUE RESEARCH Radford told a press confer- ence that he and Dr, Hunt are continuing their research in an effort to determine "'the role po- lonium may play as a cancer| producer." A conclusive test, Radford said, would be to remove polon- jum from cigarettes to see what affect, if any, it would have on the incidence of lung cancer among smokers. Separating polonium from the smoke would be a nearly im- possibly task, Radford said. Therefore, he said, the only effective filter would be one that removed all the smoke, leaving the smoker to inhale warm air, | It would probably be more practical to grow tobacco that would absorb little or no polon- ium from the soil, he added. He said the U.S. surgeon-gen- eral's committee on smoking which issued its report last week, had received a report on research being done on polon- ium. It was mentioned in the re- port as an area in which more resaerch was necessary. The committee. report stated: "Cigarette smoking is a health hazard of sufficient importance in the United States to warrant appropriate remedial action." _ Radford and Dr, Hunt found in autopsies on seven cancer victims that there were signi- ficant differences in the amount ium present between Monday it was ed that Canada, British Columbia and the United States negotiators have reached agreement among themselves on supplements to the original 60-year Columbia River hydro and flood - control treaty signed with the U.S. in or p the five smokers and two non- smokers, The concentration of polon- jum in lung tissue was five Heart Tests Cigarets Radioactive Harvard Doctors Say times greater in the five smok- ers, Radford said. Further: research by the two scientists showed. that a man smoking two packs of cigarettes a day may receive a radiation dose from polonium at least seven times and "perhaps much more" than the normal radia. tion exposure of non-smokers, They used four regular-size American grands of cigarettes purchased in normal retail out- lets, Radford said. Two were filter brands,. two were not, There was little difference be. tween the filter and non-filter cigarettes, he added. Asked whether smoking is in- jurious to human health, Rad- ford, a lifetime non-smoker as is Dr, Hunt, replied: "No ques. clashes with Greek on Cyprus.
