PR RES RE cig A Ey ae aS Osharwn Zimes Published by Canadian Newspapets Limited ©. 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1964--PAGE 6 _ Veiling Warning Given To Shipping Companies : Labor Minister MacEachen last week expressed regret that the marine union trustees have failed to obtain the united co-operation of the shipowners in an effort to im- gp eng 'relations and clean up the t Lakes mess. The Norris report dealt roughly with the Seafarers' International Union. But it also had some harsh things to say about employer prac- tices. It pointed out that some com- panies were reproved by the Brock- ington-McNish inquiry of 1948 for "failure to follow the proper pro- cesses of labor law and to honor contractual obligations. It pointed out, too, that one big company had within its strength and influence the power "to accomplish much in stabilizing the Great Lakes situ- ation{by taking a positive stand on the side of law and order, but for the sake of a present -- at best uneasy -- peace, and for competi- tive advantage, it not only did nothing, but gave support to Banks." Mr. MacEachen's "regret" could have been a veiled threat to the shipping companies, whose co- operation is needed if the water- front mess is to be cleaned up before the new shipping season 'starts. The' trustees have been un- able to get that co-operation -- representatives of one big company walked out of a meeting convened by the trustees, it is understood. Now, with time running out, the federal government would be justi- fied in taking action to force co- operation. This could be done by the-establishment of a trusteeship over the shipping companies. In- deed, one can now wonder why this was not done at the time the trusteeship over the maritime unions wags established. What has been going on is not a private war between companies and between unions, although some of the participants seem to think so. It is an intolerable situation affecting the economic health of the country. It must end, If sterner government action is necessary, that action must be taken. 'Lessons From Inquest It would be no exaggeration to say that public opinion in this pro- vince has been deeply shocked by testimony given at the inquest into the death of Patricia Morgan fol- lowing an operation at the Tor- onto East General Hospital. Inevi- tably, despite all assurances that this was a tragic isolated case, the public is wondering whether there are similar cases which have been hushed up. It is important that public con- fidence in the medical profession and hospitals be not undermined. But it will take only two or three cases similar to that of Patricia Morgan, to give that faith a severe test. It is important, therefore, that steps be taken by the govern- ment, the medical profession and hospital administrators, to ensure that the faith is not, misplaced. First -of jal, me be obvious that the mgibility for report- ing to a/coroner must be clearly and defikitely stated and placed. Dr. Glenn Sawyer, general secretary of the Ontario Medical Association, recognized this when 'he said that "there should be some _ specific mechanism set up in hospitals for reporting to the coroner... Nothing in the Public Hospitals Act appears to say who is responsible for notifying the coroner." 2 Dr. Sawyer also says that the OMA is studying the Morgan case for the lessons to be learned -- to cut down further on the possibili- ties of human error in medical procedures. Certainly one of the matters which should be explored by the OMA is that of the effec- tiveness of self-policing by the me- dical profession. Is the coroner sufficient as a policeman? We doubt it, because the inquest is concerned only when a death has occurred. Mistakes or bad judgment may do damage without causing death. Self-policing is effective, as long as it does not become a handy in- strument for the protection of pro- fessional "face", Extent Of Pollution Norman Cooke, head of Canadian Industries Limited's engineering department, is reported to have told a Quebec meeting that the. re- moval of all industrial wastes from streams and rivers "is not only economically impossible but also unnecessary." He argued that such bodies of water have a "certain natural capacity for assimilating wastes without seriously affecting their quality." The point of his argument was that arbitrary and restrictive standards governing these wastes -- in -other words, » pollution -- should not be imposed. His statement has stirred up something of a controversy. We do not have a copy of his speech and must rely on the abbreviated news report. It may be, therefore, that he qualified his statements. Some qualification certainly appears to be in order. She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, : Publisher Cc.

But the statement could not be applied to all streams and rivers or to all wastes. There are also questions of degree. The U.S. Department of Health reported in 1962 that inorganics, such as the mineral salts and synthetic wastes which many in- dustries must dispose of, may not be affected at all by natural pro- * cesses of purification. Other author- ities have stated that some indus- trial pollutants remain in water for long periods of time, building up dangerous concentrations and there are many places -- far too many -- on this continent where such concentrations have occurred. Even such large bodies of water as Great Lakes, with their great size and strong currents, are showing the effects of a buildup of pollu- tion. In any case, the Ontario law is that impairment of the quality of any body of water, for any pur- pose, is an offence. Tht law 'is a good one. Unfortunately, it is not strongly enforced.

YOUR HEALTH Baby Needs More Than Soft Drink By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My son-in- law drinks a 16-ounce bottle of cola before every meal, and one at bedtime. He says he isn't hungry and that food doesn't taste good. What I'm concerned about is my two-year-old grandson who sees his father with the cola. He is given some, too--and then doesn't want to eat, either. I say there are enough cal- ories in the cola drinks to fill them up so they can't eat. The child is thin and my daughter worries about him. She doesn't give the child this cola drink, but the father does and explains that "I can't bear to hear him cry." They took the baby to a doc- tor and the problem was diag- nosed as rickets. So I said "It's about time you get some tonic in that child and threw the cola out." What advice wold, ye give?--C. V. W. About the same advice that you. have given in vain, I guess! Any of these soft drinks are sweet. That means they contain sugar. Sugar has a lot of cal- ories. But it contains nothing which is used to build the body. It provides only "'fuel." (Or will be converted into fat.) I have nothing against soft drinks, but before meals isn't the time to drink them, any more than you would give a child ice cream_and cake before dinner and then\expeyt him to eat. If your son-in-law wants to continue drinking cola, I don't suppose there is anything you can do about it. He's old enough to decide what he wants to do, right or wrong. But teaching the baby to do so is something else. Your randson has some rights. He s entitled to be taught to eat properly. Instead he is being taught the wrong things about eating. That's right--taught. Because babies are natural copy-cats. That's the way they learn. And this poor infant already has been taught to satisfy his ap- petite with sweet stuff so he doesn't want the foods thabro- vide protein, minerals and vita- mins which he needs to build strong bones, strong muscles, and a healthy body generally. This son-in-law should make it a point to eat his own dinner, and never let the baby see him drink another drop of soft drink before a meal. In fact, if he never lets the child see him drink any--let alone give him any--it will be better, because this little fellow has some un- learning to do. I cannot understand how any father, in this age, can hear a doctor say "rickets" without shuddering and deciding to do something at once to correct the child's diet. He can go out in the kitchen after the baby is in bed and drink pop until he bloats, But he owes his son a proper diet. And that means setting a good example. Dear Dr. Molner: Can one take too many Vitamin B12 shots? Would two.a week, for five years, be harmful? If I have to take them for the rest of my life, will it be ok? Some- one told me_you could take too many.--M. H. D. B12 can be taken all your life without harm, because any ex- cess is eliminated by your sys- tem. (This is not true of all vitamins.) * B12 is used for various things. For pernicious anemia, it changes certain disability into normal life. It is helpful in cer- tain types of neuritis, etc. It is also used for a lot of other ailments and complaints in which it may (or may not) do any good but also does no harm. NOTE TO E. R. S.: Polyps of thé colon, unlike those in some other parts of the body, have a suspiciously high percentage of becoming malignant. There- fore, if you don't have this one removed, at least it should be watched carefully by your phys- ician, Dear Dr. Molner: What kind of a surgeon is best for a bro- ken nose?--Mrs.: M.H.

PAINT OTTAWA REPORT Canadian Banking ~ Invasion Feared By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--New grounds for er of U.S. domination of our TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 4, 1964... Premier Ben-Gurion . or- dered withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza strip and the Gulf of Aqaba in favor of a United Nations emergency - force designed to police the Israel-Egypt border seven years -ago to- day--in 1957. Gaza, which came under Egyptian con- trol in 1948, was overrun by: the Israelis in late 1956 when they invaded the Sinai peninsula. Israel justified its action by citing Egypt's blockade of Israeli shipping through the Suez Canal. 1923 -- Canada and the US. signed a fisheries treaty, the first signed by Canada on her own behalf. Britain had signed previ- ously. 1925--Premier Taschereau declined a Newfoundland offer to sell Labrador to Quebec for $30,000,000, Your choice of white or onomy have been laid by the first U.S. incursion into the field of Canadian banking. Great uneasiness is being ex- pressed in some financial cir- cles by the fact that the First National City Bank of the United States has obtained con- trol of the Mercantile Bank of Canada. The Mercantile Bank was in- corporated only recently, in 1953. It was controlled by Dutch interests, and has only three branches. Now, according to re- ports, the control has been ac- quired by the giant U:S. bank, which has 104 branches in New York as well as 91 branches in 32 foreign countries. It has assets of over $10,000,000,000, more than double those of the largest Canadian bank. EXPANSION PLANNED Reports heard here suggest that the new management plans to open many more branches of the Mercantile Bank, in all ma- jor Caadian cities. It may then solicit business from all U.S. companies operating in Canada, as well as from Canadan sub- sidiaries of U.S. parent compa- nies. This could take a great deal of business away from Ca- nadian banks, as there would be a natural tendency by U.S. interests to switch their busi- ness to a subsidairy of the bank with which so many of them deal in their own country. Proof of this uneasiness is re- flected in the falling prices of the stocks of Ca banks. This has been drawn to my _at- tention by worried Canadian fianciers. For instance, as I write this, shares in the Bank are beng traded at $72%, the lowest price of the year, down from a high of $773; shares in the Toronto-Dominion Bank are being traded at $61%, also the lowest price this year, down from a high of $66. Shares in the Bank of Montreal and the Bank of Nova Scotia are also at their lowest level of the year. I mentioned this development to Bert Herridge, the New Dem- ocratic MP from Kooten y West, who as well as being the great ig of Parliament is also a great Canadian. He at once asked Finance Minister Walter Gordon about this in the House of Commons; and Mr. Gordon replied: 'There is no legislation at present which would prevent the takeover of any Canadian bank by a non-resident. The matter will be made known when the Bank Act is up for revision." And he added: "There is no legislation at pres- ent which would interfere with the opening of more branches (by the Mercantile Bank) if that was desired." CANADIANISM NEEDED The government is taking ac- tion to preserve-a measure of Canadianism in such things as our magazine trade and in tele- vision.
