Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1964----PAGE 6 U.S. Plans Proposals For Strengthening UN In a speech recently delivered for him as the second Dag Hammarsk- jold memorial lecture at Columbia University, U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk said that the United States soon will have proposals for strengthening the machinery of the United Nations. There is no doubt that a strength- . ening is needed, and that it can only be accomplished by large- scale alterations of the present structure. Whether the alterations can be made without destroying the UN in the process remains to be seen. The three main areas of weak- ness are: financing, because of the failure of many members to ack- nowledge their commitments; the erosion of the authority of the Security Council through excessive use of the veto; the imbalance in voting power in the General As- sembly, with the vote of a small and frequently immature nation carrying as much weight as the vote of a large, highly developed nation. Mr. Rusk spoke of the ability of tiny nations to form a majority in the Assembly. He expressed deep concern because these nations have the power to set policy and commit the UN to action that the large na- tions would have the responsibility and burden of carrying out. Britain's Viscount Cherwell poin- ted out about eight years ago that nations representing five per cent of the world's population could cast a majority vote in the As- sembly, and nations with ten per cent could form a two-thirds major- ity. He noted that too often the small nations took bloc decisions "on grounds of enmity, opportunism or merely jealously and petulance". The small nations will bitterly resist any effort to make them give up their claims to equality. Yet the large and powerful nations which pay. the bills and supply the manpower and technical skills can- not be expected to accept indefini- tely an unfair and indeed, dangerous situation. Facts And Education Too many people these days talk about the "goals" of education as if those goals could be fixed pre- cisely and immutably. The primary fact of the modern world is change; any business that ignores that fact is headed for bankruptcy. Educa- tion may not be a business, in the accepted sense, but it cannot ignore the fact of change any more than it can ignore the constant verities. A few years ago a distinguished educator said that if education is to be relevant, vital and respon- sible, it must help the child as he matures to understand, accept and deal realistically with three basic facts of life -- the fact of differ- ence, the fact of conflict, and the fact of change. A genuine acceptance of the fact of difference means respect for the unique worth of every individual human being, regardless of race or ethnic background and regardless of any other condition or considera- tion. As long as there is respect for persons as individuals and for individuals as persons, difference will be a central fact in human affairs. Nothing is quite so unanimous as a graveyard. Where there is life, conflict is inevitable. Social con- flict is an index of tension and ten- sion is an indication of vitality, an expression of life itself. It has been said that a rubber band that per- mits no stress is useless -- it has lost its quality of tension. Only the tender-minded shy back from con- flict. Nothing is more certain than change and yet nothing is more widely feared. Change in our ways of life, individual and institutional is an inescapable fact of human existence. Man's responsibility tow- ards social change is to understand and control it -- and he cannot do that unless he recognizes it, defines it, and has the intellectual energy and discipline to explore it and master it. ' Tire Action In Water Safety officials keep warning motorists that wet roads can be dangerous; wet surfaces make stopping more difficult, make skid- ding more of a hazard; certain types of road become almost as slippery as ice during a rain. Now research in Britain indicates another hazard. A series of unex- plained accidents on Britain's new high-speed roads instigated a study of possible causes. Some results have been reported by The Sunday Times: "Before motorways, loss of con- tact between tires and road was called, simply, skidding. Not until after several other accidents on motorways was it appreciated that not all skids are the same and that, at high speeds, a car weighing well over a ton might be able to aquap- lane -- to skim over the surface of the water, like a surf-board, leaving the steering and brakes useless.

"At 40 mph on. wet road water starts to build up beneath a wheel like a ship's bow wave, reducing the contact area. As speed rises, the water moves in until, at 80 mph the contact area of the tires is a few square inches. "Before the tread of a tire can grip the surface of even a moderate wet road,it has to disperse between eight and 10 pints of water a second. At high speeds, the area of tread contacting the road has about 1/150th sec. in which to do it. And there comes a stage with every tire when the tread cannot get rid of it quickly enough. "Pressure forces the wedge be- neath the front of the remaining contact area. Eventually it spreads to the rear and more of the tread touches the road. ' "All tires aquaplane eventually with most modern tires in good con- dition, few cars would be capable of reaching the speed at which it would occur. But, with a well-worn tread which is unable to dissipate the water, aquaplaning can start at speeds as low as-80 mph." Anyone who drives at 80 miles an hour is a nut -- but there are plenty of nuts on Canadian roads. Bible Thought Walk in the Spirit and we shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. -- Galatians 5:16, The heart that is filled with love of God doesn't have room for love of self. And vice versa, ete ete na ee erie ae REPORT FROM U.K. Traffic Becoming Chaotic At Airport By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The %shawa Times LONDON -- Britain is head- ing into an era of chaos in the sky unless steps are taken in the immediate future to re- lieve the concentration of air traffic leaving and coming into London's Heathrow Airport, the traffic going to and coming from ail parts of the world, as well as the main domestic air routes. The statistics for the year YOUR HEALTH 1963 showed that during the year. 8,180,000 passengers, a number greater than the entire population of the Greater Lon- don area, passed through this airport. This was almost exact- ly double the number of passen- gers using the airport in 1959. It represented an increase of 15 per cent over the figures for 1962, And it makes certain that this great concentration of traffic at London's central air- port will simply become unbear- able for one airport to handle. - Neuralgia Causes Vicious Head Pain By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Please write about tic douloureux and the possible effectiveness of Vitamin B-12 injections.--FAB Tic douloureux is, in its se- vere form, one of the most agonizing pains known to man. It is a neuralgia which affects the nerves of the face and head, which is a sensitive area. Its cause is not known. Its behavior is not altogether pre- dictable. It is a periodic pain, often subsiding or becoming less in- tense at night. Simple movements or con- tacts can set off new attacks-- the facial movement when you chew, touching the face as in washing, etc. Personality factons seem to be very important and such ques- tions as the patient's feelings of dependency, his environment and psychological state should be investigated. Altering his attitude can be very helpful. The B complex vitamins seem to have a tonic effect on nerve tissue and this can be helpful, but it is doubtful that B-12, being only a fraction of the complex, would have any more effect than B-1 (or thiamine) or the whole complex. As I said, the pain. of tic douloureux is of varying intens- ity. In milder cases, simple pain medication can provide relief. Brief inhalation of trichlorethy- lene (breathng from a. small amount poured on a cloth or a handkerchief) gives emergency relief. In more severe cases, drastic measures sometimes have to be taken. Alcohol can be injected into the ganglion (or. root) of the nerve, temporarily paralyz- ing the nerve and thus stopping the agony. The hope is that TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan, 22, 1964 Queen Victoria died 63 years ago today--in 1901-- after reigning for 64 years, longer than any previous ~ British monarch. Her hus- band Prince Albert had died 40 years earlier. Edward VII succeeded her. 1900--The American pas- senger steamship Valeacia was wrecked on the rocky coast of Vancouver Island at Shelter Bight with loss of 126 lives. 1947--An Indian assembly voted unanimously to adopt a resolution proclaiming In- dia a sovereign and inde- pendent republic, general improvement of health will mean that when the alcohol nerve block finally wears away, the tic douloureux will be gone. If this does not succeed, there is one other solution--cutting the nerve surgically and putting a permanent end to the pain. Numbness or other alteration in facial sensation, and some trouble in chewing are conse- quences of either paralyzing or cutting the nerve. These, how- ever, are preferable to extreme pain for some patients. Cutting of the nerve should be a last resort, employed only when other methods of treat- ment are not adequate. LET DOCTOR EXAMINE Dear Dr, Molner: What about black spots on the lower lip? Can they be dangerous? Can they be removed?--Mrs. T. They may or may not be dan- gerous. Have your doctor ex- amine the spots. They can be removed if necessary. QUEEN'S PARK Difficulties at the Heathrow Airport have multiplied, not only because of the increase in volume of passenger traffic. In the last four or five years, the entry into the air passenger field of huge jet aircraft, cap- able of carrying as many as 140 or more passengers on each flight has created serious prob- lems not only for the airport authorities, but also for travel- lers. No matter how carefully flights may be scheduled, it is not possible to estimate the exact time of landing of an air- craft, with so many factors of weather and wind conditions to be considered. Thus it frequent- ly happens that several of these large jet airliners arrive within a few minutes of each other. Their passengers swamp the immigration, customs and bag- gage personnel and cause long delays which, while they can- not be avoided, are most aggra- vating to the passengers. On the average, it takes about 20 minutes from the time the pas- sengers disembark until they enter the airport rotunda. ELEMENT OF SAFETY Of even greater importance, however, are the elements of safety which are endangered by the overcrowdin; of traffic on a single airport, no matter how efficiently it is operated. The Heathrow Airport is acknowl- edged to have about the most efficient system of traffic con- trol to be found anywhere in the world, There is, however, a real danger that in spite of all the advantages of electronic and mechanical aids to safety, the men responsible for guiding the aircraft in and out of the air- port will, be overburdened. Because' of all these factors, a clear case can be made out for the establishment of an- other major airport in London. Although the plans now being made to double the capacity of the airport at Gatwick are car- ried out, they are not nearly ambitious enough to meet the crisis which lies ahead. London has in reality become an international cross-roads. It must 'have airport facilities which will enable it-to hold that position, and it must have them soon. Much Speculation On Tax Increases BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--This is a hot-bed of rumors about tax increases these days. And it probably will stay that way until the budget is brought down next month, At time of writing the gov- ernment is still making up Its mind on the tax changes it will make. And even when these are de- cided, though there will prob- ably be leaks, it won't be known for certain what the changes are until the budget speech. One sure: field in which there will be increases is in liquor prices. AMOUNT UNCERTAIN This has been decided on. But the amount of the boosts hasn't been settled. It looks as though they may go up from 35 cents to more than a dollar (on a 26 oz. bottle) depending on the brand, Beer prices, it is said, will stay where they are. Other increases being widely talked about ate in gasoline and cigarettes. One argument against boost- ing taxes on these two items is that for the resentment. they wou'd breed they would return relatively unimportant revenue. Each cent added to gas tax would bring in about $13,000,000 a year. A 10-cent tax on cigarettes yeu bring in about $25,000,- Against this one cent on sales tax would mean more than $60,- 000,000, And it wouldn't bring any more, and probably less, complaint. POLICE COMMISSIONER One of the major arguments of this session will be over the Ontario Police Commission. The government has some hope that it may be pulling the rug from under some of this through the man it is naming as the new commissioner. At time of writing this ap- pointment has not been an- nounced. But the man has - been se- lected. And it is said he is out- standing. Incidentally, OPP Commis- sioner Eric Silk, QC, is wear- ing a new badge of rank. It is crossed tipstaves in a laurel wreath and topped by a crown, Mr, Silk found we have been following U.S. patterns in our badges. i For a force administering Bri'ish justice he thought this wes not nfoner So he sw'tched-to the crossed staves, which is the traditional British insignia. OTTAWA REPORT Warnings Useful To Block Migraine By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The cigarette is providing a vivid example of the lack of leadership and pur- pose by our federal govern- ments, which for some years past have been unwilling to take a firm stand against the cross-currents of conflicting in- terests. Medical opinion in many coun- tries has pointed to the cigar- ette as making its addict prone to a premature death. Dr. P. B. Rynard, the respected MP from Orillia, has for several peers raised a lone and un- eeded voice, drawing Parlia- ment's attention to this danger. But, while the British and U.S. governments--to mention only our two closest friends-- were taking positive action, the Diefenbaker government ig- nored both the accumulating evidence and the professional BY-GONE DAYS heavy smoker herself. But she , showed the strength of will to advise of its supporter Dr Ry- nard, and then the Pearson gov- ernment did its best to suffocate the fraiseworthy initiative by Hegfth Minister Judy LaMarsh. is the accepted responsibil- ity of the federal government to permit the sale of only those consumable products which have been proved safe. A sim- ple example is artificially col- ored foods: Only those may be sold which contain dyes tested and approved by our depart- ment of health, JUDY GIVES LEAD But in contrast, the sale of cigarettes is permitted -- and even encouraged by our govern- ment--without prior testing for safety, despite the objections of responsible medical opinion. Enthusiastic publicity greeted Judy LaMarsh's first move against cigarettes. She was a 25 YEARS AGO January 22, 1939 The Minister of Public Works at Ottawa advised L. F. Mce- Laughlin, president of the Chamber of Commerce, that the request for a new post office for Oshawa was being considered. J. W. Bateman, Whitby, was honored at the completion of 31 years as secretary of Whitby Sons of England lodge. Arthur R. Alloway and Rev. George Telford were inducted as new members of the Oshawa Rotary Club. A. W. S. Greer was elected chairman of the Oshawa Wel- fare Board at the inaugural meeting for 1939. Ex-Mayor Alex McLeese, speaking at a meeting of the Oshawa Property Owners' Asso- ciation, saw the 36.25 mill rate as a nightmare to the taxpayers. Local butchers advertised pork tenderloin at 29 cents a pound, round steak at 18 cents a pound, and wing or sirloin: steak at 21 cents a pound. Joseph P. Mangan, Oshawa barrister, was appointed Re- turning Officer for the County of Ontario. Mrs. Gordon D. Conant, wife of the Attorney General, was chairman at the first of a series of lecturers on "Democracy" sponsored by the Education Committee of the Women's Lib- eral Association. hed id Chick r p ic proportions in the city with 54 cases reported in January.

She added that cigar- '* ette advertising should be cur- ' bed, so that it: would cease to insinuate that a cigarette brings sex appeal to a girl and man- liness to a boy and romance jointly to the two. Miss LaMarsh told Parlia- ment that "there is scientific evidence that cigarette is a contributory cause of lung cancer, and that it may also be associated with chronic bron- chitis and coronary heart dis- ease." So she called a national conference to discuss this, But then the iron curtain was clanged down. Why? By whom? Were special interests influenc- ing the government? This con- ference concerned, not the s- crecy of national security, but the 'public interest of individual health; yet it was hed "in camera." Despite protestations in Parliament by Dr. Rynard and others, spectators and jour- nalists were excluded. The pro- ceedings and briefs were thus conducted in secrecy. TAXES MISSPENT AGAIN I have obtained copies of the briefs, and having digested them I see clearly the dilemma our wobble-minded government * finds itself in, Some briefs were frank appeals to the govern- ment to protect farmers and in- dustry against the financial loss which would follow having the cigarette banned or officially blamed. No representation was invited from the other side, such as widows or onphans of the vic- tims of lung cancer, or lawyers representing the bereaved plan- ning damage actions, The smail authoritative voice of the medi- cal profession: was heard; but the loudest voice was that of the tax-gatherer. The decision of that confer- ence was to spend $600,000 of the taxpayers' money on warn- ing the young against acquiring the cigarette habit, and on re- search to try to purify the cig- arette. This is an unparalled misuse of the taxpayers' money, the cost of making a market- able product safe should ~ be underwritten by the producer, as in the case of other consum- able items. Why is special priv- ilege given to any one class of manufacturer? One can' only assume that one half million dollars in taxes speaks louder to government than the lives of Canadians. BEEF!
