She Oshawa Gimnes Published by Canadian Newspopers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1964--PAGE 6 Veivcte Lands Posted; Hunters Have Solution A Lands and Forests release just received has this to say: "A number of examples of the ways in which the thoughtless ac- tions of a few can spoil recreation for many cameito light recently in Carden Township in Victoria County. A three-day deer season had been proposed in Carden, but was later withdrawn at the request of landowners," The release goes on to give the reasons: Beef cattle panicked so badly by hunters they could not be rounded up for transport to market, and would not approach feeding areas for days; farm structures damaged by bullets, It goes on: "The actions of people like this have led to a tremendous amount of posting of private land through- out Southern Ontario .; . There was a time, not very long ago, when the hunter had a certain kinship with the land. Even though he was city born and bred, his contact with the out-of-doors and his re- lationships with country people gave him many of the viewpoints of the farmer. He enjoyed the confidence of the farmer and was a welcome visitor. Unfortunately a great many hunters from the city have lost this relationship, and have no idea of the serious consequences of what they consider to be trivial acts." The time may be near when the only legal hunting in Southern On- tario will be on government- operated preserves, game farms and areas administered by fish and game clubs, Indeed, an official of the Ontario Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Animals has already suggested that "shooting areas" be established, to be adminis- tered largely by established fish and game clubs. The argument is that this would free large areas of land for naturalists, bird-watchers and nature lovers, who could wander about without any fear of being mistaken for birds or rabbits. What seems certain is that if the hunters do not solve this problem themselves, it is going to be solved for them, Test Mixed-Crew Idea The American mixed-crew idea fe to be given a practical test. The United States hit upon the idea of manning nuclear-armed destroyers with sailors from various NATO eountries as a means of creating a Yoinly controlled North Atlantic freaty Organization nuclear force. i, Only West Germany liked the idea; }France, of course, said it had its »wn nuclear force; the other NATO embers doubted if sailors with a riety of languages, procedures and aul traditions could be welded efficient crews with high doubters, however, have not jted an alternative method of 'ling NATO with a jointly solled nuclear force -- a force qpuld mean something in terms Alear capability, that would s/ NATO members a reason- volvement and responsibility, shat would remove the threat vt a proliferation of individual nuclear powers. The plan is, admittedly, a political one, Anyone who has served on a warship or in an aircrew or in a combat unit realizes the difficulties from a military standpoint, But the planned test may show that many of the difficulties are exaggerated. A single destroyer armed with mis- siles is going to be operated as a demonstration ship. Italy, Britain, Greece, Turkey and Germany have agreed to join the U.S. in providing the crew, and men may also come from The Netherlands and Belgium. If it works, NATO will get a nuclear destroyer force, which will reduce the need for fixed nuclear bases -- and thereby remove some of the qualms of several NATO members about harboring such bases, It may. seem paradoxical that this experiment is being conducted at a time when the United States and Russia seem to be more willing to give honest consideration to dis- armament proposals. But there is no doubt that the Communists would be even tougher bargainers if the West were arguing from a position of weakness instead of re- solute strength, Adolf Hitler's Health Medical detectives in recent years have frequently cast a new light on historical events by attempting to diagnose the state of health of the main participants. One doctor sug- gested, for example, that Bonaparte was late getting his army to Water- loo because he was suffering from piles; had he arrived on the field sooner, he might have won the battle. Another has theorized that Bonaparte did not die a natural death, but was the victim of arsenic poisoning. The medical detectives have been fascinated by Hitler. Obviously, there was something wrong with the Nazi dictator -- but what? A new book by a West German argues \that a childhood sickness was to blame. The author rejects the "theory that Hitler had brain para- The Ostarwn Times T. L, WILSON, Publisher C.

His theory goes like this: In his early years Hitler was perfectly normal. His character changed abruptly when he started to attend secondary school in 1900. He became obstinate and irascible; more and more he showed vicious- ness, no regard for the suffering of others and an ability to twist the truth. Just before the change, Hitler's brother, then six, died from measles, which might well have been accompanied by a form of en- cephalitis, a brain infection. The brother infected Adolf Hitler, who showed all the symptoms of the disease in later years -- insomnia, sudden and vicious fits of rage, paling of the skin, trouble with vision, lack of salvia, indigestion, an underdeveloped sex drive. The author; Johann Recktenwald, thus claims that it was a virus that changed a normal boy into a mons- ter responsible for the death vf mil- lions of people, and that if a six- year-old had not had the measles, the world would not have had to deal with an Adolf Hitler.

MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I have heard people mention 'growing pains" all my life and now I have two grandsons who com- plain of foot and leg pains at times. The dictionary defines grow- ing pains as "neuralgic pains during growth," but I would like your comments.--DGM The term 'growing pains' seems, unfortunately, to have become part of the language. I wish we could get rid of it, though. Growing does NOT hurt. Call- ing such incidental childhood pains "growing pains" is just ducking the issue. We can't blame growth. It has to be something else. Not necessarily serious, I hasten to add, Just the same, pain means that, something is out of order, even though the problem may be trivial. Active youngsters sometimes get such pains--muscle spasms, as a rule--just because they have been too active and have become overtired. I've rubbed the back of small calves enough times! As the spasm relaxes (and the child relaxes!) the pain eases, and that's the end of it. When. you have a youngster who is constantly on the go, and has this trouble, usually the best solution is to 'gradually guide him into the habit of rest- ing and relaxing for an hour or so, along in the afternoon, No, I'm not suggesting that you can succeed by ordering a youngster to sit still! But you can work out little tricks. Set aside a time for a glass of milk and a cookie, or encourage a youngster (if he is so dis- posed) to read or do his home- work or play quiet games. I'm all for plenty of: exercise for youngsters, but they need some relaxation, too, Where activity does not seem to account for pains in legs or feet, then it's time to look for some deeper cause, By far the most likely is some defect in the arch or elsewhere in the foot. Incorrectly fitted shoes, of course, can also force the child into a faulty gait or posture. Corrective shoes, arch sup- ports or other measures often are used in such cases, Natur- ally the earlier such defects are recognized, the easier it is to correct them before some deformity of the foot becomes permanent. (If there is pain in the groin and in the joints as well as in the muscles, then be on the READERS' VIEWS BUS DRIVERS PRAISED Dear Sir: There have been several ar- ticles in the newspapers recent- ly regarding the shortcomings of the bus drivers. I have this to gay: I think the bus drivers are a pretty nice bunch, They are very patient and helpful and al- Ways polite, and I have never seen or heard during the ten years I have been in this country, one cause for com- plaint. However, I have seen and heard some disgustingly rude passengers and some dishonest ones, I noticed one in particular who, when drivers were chang- ing, did not pay her fare, On several occasions I have seen a driver stop the bus far from the bus stop to pick up an older person, but I never heard that person says thanks. Bus drivers are only human, and if the public want angels to drive the buses let them learn that they only get out of life. what they put into it GRACE A. STEFAN THANKS Dear Sir: On behalf of the Oshawa Travel Trailer Club. I wish to convey their thanks to the Osh- awa Times and yourself for the co-operation we have received in the last three years, in pub- licizing the activities of our club, The Oshawa Travel Trailer Club has members throughout the whole district, and your paper affords excellent cover- age of our activities.

Dear Dr, Molner: What is the cause of fungus and why can't one be cured of it? I have it on my finger right by the nail, I took fungus. pills and other treatment but still have it.-- MRS. OR Fungus, like germs, and other micro- scopic forms of life, are all around us. We fight off most of them--but now and again we pick up an infection, The griseo- fulvin-type drugs have been agreeably effective in conquer- ing some kind of fungus infec- tion but will not combat others. It may be necessary to remove a nail surgically to clear up a chronically infected area, Dear Dr. Molner: My son has purchased a house where the former owner died of can- cer, Now he is suspect because someone told him that this ter- rible disease is catching. He is afraid that the germs still exist in the house.--MRS. BR But cancer isn't caused by germs! The "someone" got things all mixed up. Cancer isn't contagious, Dear Dr. Molner: What are the treatments if any for a rup- tured navel? Would itching be connected with this?--KY The only treatment of value is surgery--assuming that it is a rupture which has continued past infancy, In early baby- hood, this sort of flaw some- times heals itself, but not later on in life. There could be itch- ing, no doubt, but this is not usual. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jas. M 1964...

This was the poisoning of our foods by pesticides. "The problem you have cho- sen to explore is one that must be solved in our time," said Miss Rachel Carson, the well- known U.S. marine biologist and author. "I feel strongly that a beginning must be made on it now." Her book Silent Spring, de- scribing the growth of this menace to our health and even REPORT FROM U.K. our lives, has been a best-seller for many months, As one of the outstanding ex- perts on this subject, she was wisely invited to submit her views to the committee, She pointed out that our soil, water and air support hundreds of thousands of species of ani- mals and plants as well as man himself. : The development of science has achieved dramatic results in recent years, but we have tended to overlook its damaging side - effects, she said, She- quoted radioactive waste, nu- clear fallout, domestic waste, chemical waste from factories and detergents from homes and industries as other factors de- stroying nature, CHAIN OF FOOD Her most sensational evidence concerned the concentration of poison through transmittal Changes Proposed To Ease Rail Jam By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Well over 100,000 London workers come into the city every day on the Southern Region railway lines. They are those who live between London and the south coast of England, and the conditions under which they travel ane very far short of ideal. They are packed into the trains like sardines in a tin, and the majority never find it possible to secure a seat on their train journey. During the rush peak hours in the morning and the late afternoon, the jam of people at the Southern Region stations, trying to squeeze their way on to the trains, is beyond descrip- tion, The commuters don't like it, but neither do the officials of the Southern Region of British Railways. These officials know what the answer is, and they have launched their most im- pressive campaign to induce employers of labor in London to introduce staggered working hours to spread the load of pas- senger traffic out more evenly, POSTER CAMPAIGN To lJaunch its campaign for staggered hours, the Southern Region has prepared a set of four large posters, and these have been posted up at 130 of its busiest commuter stations. The posters drive home the fact that peak-hour travel is becom- ing more: congested' and more and more costly to provide: "You can't beat the crush hour," says one of the posters. Another, which asks 'Whose baby?" says that ev@ry day more people drawn to south- eastern England from all over the country join the ranks of the crowded train commaters. Unless the Southern Region, which brings 100,000 people into London in a period of half an hour, spends a great dea | of money on new track and trains, which would result in much higher fares for the commuters, the crush is inevitable. BLUNT MESSAGE ; Here is the message which ap- pears On one of the posters: "You, who aleady travel with strangers' elbows in your ribs, say 'I'm fed up with sardine travel, but I've got to go to work at the same time as every- one else'."' "Employers say: 'Yes, we would like to stagger hours, but our staff would never agree, and in any case, we must con- form to the same time as our business associates'."" "Who's right?" Another poster shows a batch of newspaper clippings, headlin- the inescapable choice "Stagger or Pay". ARE YOU THE MAN...

Southern Region is convinced that a system of staggered hours would work if the em- ployers want to adopt it. A rail- way spokesman said: "The problem is reaching bursting point, and if neither employers nor employees move to solve it themselves -- which some of them could do fairly easily -- we shall be forced to do something which will be a fantastic expense, and that will mean higher fares."

Finally the concen- tration built up in birds which ate these fish, pelicans in fact, to a staggering 1,700 p.p.m. Meanwhile the plankton was eaten by trout from a hatchery and it poisoned them. The lake remained unfit for fish for 10 months, Around Yellowknife, Miss Carson related, there is an im- portant waterfowl breed- ing area, Insecticides have not been sprayed within several hundred miles; yet DDT has been found for several years in the eggs of waterfowl and. in the young chicks. Contamination of our natural surroundings by pesticides, and the extinction of animal and plant life which might follow, points up the fact that these side effects should no longer be overlooked when the benefits of pesticides are considered, Religion And H-Bombs Don't Mix -- By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) A majority of Canadians do not think that religion and nu- clear weapons should mix.
