Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1964--PAGE 6 Gordon Bud get Offers Little To Provinces The budget brought down this week by Finance Minister Gordon carried quite a blunt message to the provincial premiers, who will be meeting with Prime Minister Pearson and his colleagues week after next. The message was: "There's nothing much left in the cupboard for you." The provinces were not satisfied with what they got from the fe- deral government in the last federal- provincial session in Ottawa. At least two of the provincial premiers -- Robarts of Ontario and Lesage of Quebec -- have repeatedly said they want more. Now Mr. Gordon says there isn't any more, All of which should make the next federal- provincial meeting an interesting affair indeed. Mr. Gordon told the Commons that the federal government ex- pected to talk to the provinces at the conference opening March 31 in Quebec City about handing over to them the full burden of pro- grams currently shared between Ottawa and the provinces, In that kind of bargaining, the federal gov- ernment would be ready to hand over either a share of the direct tax field or straight money pay- ments, But it is strictly a case of more money from Ottawa only if the provinces do more of the work themselves. Mr. Gordon said: "We appreciate the importance and value of joint programs. We have no desire, however, to go on indefinitely levying taxes simply to pay for programs that are well- - established and well within. pro» vincial jurisdiction. It is better that, within the limts of their own fiscal capacities, the provinces should levy the taxes required for such programs, assisted where necessary by equalization pay- ments." Prime Minister Pearson has made it clear that it will not be neces- sary for all provinces to take over joint programs in order for a trans- fer ta be made. Individual provinces will be able to "contract out". But it can be expected that "stay in" provinces will be keeping a close watch on contracting-out provi- sions to see that the province that takes such a course does not get special financing advantages from the federal government, Attracting The Crowd The schooling habits of fish have long interested scientists. Why do some fish travel in schools, while others pursue a more solitary exis- tence? The generally accepted theory is that the schooling fish do so for protection; by swimming im a mass and at the same speed the fish can often confuse a pre- dator -- they tend to blur its line of vision by passing through it one after another. Once the predator gets over his confusion, of course, he has a jolly time, because the achool has made it easy for him to gobble a full meal. Now German scientists have re- ported on their observations of and experiments with schooling fish. They took a fish from a school and removed the part of its brain which controls its "communal instincts." Placed back in the school the fish showed no interest in following the others. It set its own course and speed without paying any at- tention to its fellows. But then the fish with only a partial brain be- came the leader--the others formed their school about it, and wherever it went they went. The analogy with human behav- for is obvious, and perhaps super- ficial. It is interesting, for example, that this discovery was made by German scientists. Not so very long ago the Germans schooled around a fellow named Hitler, who had a damaged brain. The Italians school- ed around a rather unstable charac- ter named Mussolini. But the schooling instinct is certainly not confined to Germans or Italians. In this country all sorts of oddballs can attract audiences and follow- ings. And did you ever stop on a street, stare fixedly at the sky for a few moments, and then watch the swift gathering of a curious group, all gazing intently at nothing? The Milwaukee Journal suggests that the German discovery may ex- plain some fashions, taste in dances, singing crazes and so on -- "like fish, perhaps some human schools follow the ones of little brains". There could be another lesson, how- ever. Perhaps it proves that-lead- ers tend to come from the non- conformists among the species -- the nonconformists being the ones who have either the intellectual strength to be different or the bland stupidity that makes them blissfully unaware of being differ- ent. Attack On Tuberculosis Tuberculosis is less of a killer today than ever before. But though mortality rates are lower, TB still takes an estimnated two million - lives each year. Serious as the TB mortality rate is, perhaps even more serious, how- ever, is the number of people who get the disease--estimated at more than three million, all of them new cases, yearly around the world. In the western hemisphere alone at least 175,000 new cases were re- ported yearly during the past five years -- including 6,000 by Canada, Bye Oshavon Fimes T. Lb. WILSON, Publisher C.

And if all cases could be de- tected and recorded, something which is not possible now in many areas around the world, the figure would be higher still. Yet TB is a disease which could be wiped out. Today there is an arsenal of weapons which can. be used against the disease.. For example: Even before pulmonary TB, th disease's most common form, becomes proriounced, an X-ray can spot its first tell-tale shadow on a lung, and in many localities, in- cluding our own, there are regular mass X-ray surveys which are free; on a treatment of "wonder drugs", such as streptomycin, PAS and INH, plus rest, a TB suffer can recover normal health -- a cure not possible only 20 years ago -- and return to normal living; and just as important, TB canbe pre- vented through BCG vaccination. It is to call attention to what can be done against this major health menace that the World : Health Organization selected "No truce for tuberculosis" as the, theme for ob- servance April 7 of World Health Day, the 16th anniversary of the founding of WHO. ~ seca THE GORDON LAMENT REPORT FROM U.K. Farm Work Aided By Mild Weather By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A year ago at this time, Britain was just dig- ging itself out of the most severe winter the country had known for 130 years. The fields were still covered with snow and ice. Two months of repeat- ed snowfalis and of steady YOUR HEALTH below-freezing temperature had made it impossible for any work, at all to be done on the land or in gardens at this time in 1963. As a matter of fact, at this date last year, we were still trying to get our home dried out fter being flooded several times by burst water pipes. How different is the situation this year. What has been re- Depression Found In Various Forms By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Please ex- plain psychiatric depression, I have four demanding, children and an adoring husband. Chances are. you will say, "There's a woman who has everything." I know I have but I don't know how to accept someone's efforts and love. I've been married twice and I've gone from one extreme to an- other, from cruelty to myself and my children, to love and serenity from my. second hus- band. I can't understand why I should be going through this depression. I've had a complete physical and I'm fine from head to toe.--MRS. JC A psychiatric depression isn't physical; it is emotional. Some- times we can understand very easily why we react in a certain way emotionally. Other times we can't, Depression is a reasonably common occurrence. A person can fall into this depressed state without any apparent rea- son, He doesn't know why--but he still feels tired, dejected, pessimistic. In severe depres- sions, people sometimes com- mit suicide--again, for no good redson except that they feel so unaccountably gloomy. This is a very real danger, of which psychiatrists and other physicians are becoming in- creasingly aware. In some such cases shock treatments have been used with success. In recent years drugs known as "psychic energizers" have been prescribed. There are also various types of depression, and the distinc- tions become rather complex. All of which is my way of leading up to the advice that, if possible, have a psychiatrist take charge of your case. The treatment (especially the drugs) is quite different from what is commonly regarded as "psychiatric treatment," per- haps, but by now a good many depressed patients have been lifted out of their gloomy atti- tude, In general depression. occurs most frequently in middle life. For whatever reasons, once a person gets out of it, he usually stays out. It isn't likely to recur later. : But besides making life mis- erable while the depression lasts, it can be'a real threat if a person reaches the stag of thinking that 'life just isn't worth living. But it can be helped, although there isn't much you can do about it by yourself. You can't, just by willpower, make your- self be happy and relaxed. You need assistance Dear Dr. Molner: Isn't it true that those who are not afraid to take an occasional sip. of castor oil get alona better in life than those who do not?--FG No, castor oil is an evil- tasting substance which purges the digestive system rather vi- olently, and has something of a "rebound" effect--its use is followed by a certain amount of constipation. Less vigorous laxatives are preferable if they are needed at all. Dear Dr. Molner: High blood pressure and a heart condition have prevented an _ operation for corréciion of a fallen uterus. A support was tried but caused severe cramping. Is there med- icine or any other treatment that will help?--AL There is no medication that will help. These mechanical de- vices are being used but sur- gery has improved so much that it is both easiest and most successiui, I advise a recheck of your blood pressure to see whether the operation can be done now or in the future. Note to M. G.: The fact that the man had TB 15 years ago and now has only one lung would have no effect on his marrying. He is rid of the tuberculosis germ, or he would not have ieft the hospital. Hav- ing one lung, he has to be extra careful of his breathing capac- ity, but that's the whole story right there. Note to Mrs. M. E. 8.: The day of the month (as the 18th, or 2ist or fifth, or whatever) usu- ally has nothing to do with the menstrual cycle. A 28-day cycle is average; some departure from this, a few days more or less, is perfectly normal for some. garded as the. mildest winter since the war has made condi- tions quite different. Here in the London area, there has not been one decent snowfall, and only a few nights with two or three degrees of frost. And already a touch of spring is seen in the spring flowers f blooming in the garden. FARMERS !"APPY For once, the farmers are very happy about conditions. Work on the land is surging ahead faster than at any time since the war years. Farmers locted on some of the lighter Soils report that they are now from four to five weeks ahead of normal cultivation. Ernest Wedd who operates a large arable farm in the Audley End of Essex, east of London, says: "This mild winter has put us ahead of normal, At this time last year, we could not get into the fields for snow and ice." GOOD FOR STOCK Conditions have been excel. lent for bringing livestock into the spring and summer very fit. The prospects for Britain's sheep farmers are much bright- er than they have been for years, They expect lambs ga- lore in a trouble free season, in contrast to last year's disasters. Sidney Addison, of Barnard Castle, County Durham, who is the secretary of the Tees- water Sheep Breeders' Associa- tion, says cheerfully: "It has been an absolutely marvellous winter. That is the only way to describe it. . Re- ports indicate good crops of Teeswater lambs and prospects for the pure hill breeds, which will be lambing next month, are in every way favorable." A similar report comes from another district. Ted Wolley, of Shropshire, secretary of the Clun Forest Sheep Breeders' Society said that lambing would start about the middle of March, He described this as a wonderfully open season, and he expected that the results would be good for all breeds. One of his members has al- ready reported early lambing at his farm, including three pairs of twyins, a set of triplets and a set of quadruplets. This is the difference that a mild winter can make in this country. While during the win- ter of a year ago people were bemoaning their fate at having to live in such an unpredictable and unfriendly climate, the re- verse is true this year. With milder weather, meaning no trouble with water or heating systems, and much lower fuel bills, the people all over the country are much happier than they were a year ago, And the splendid weather has kept at work over 400,000 men who were unemployed a year ago. BY-GONE DAYS . 35 YEARS AGO March 19, 1929 Mrs. William Dineen, in her 102nd year, recalled the days when she arrived in Oshawa in 1947, when the community was known as Skea's Corners. The winter season of the Osh- awa Curling Club was brought to a successful close when the locals brought the Brandon- Bailes Trophy back to Oshawa, defeating the Toronto Granites. Hon. J. §. Martin, Ontario Minister of Agriculture, ad- dressed the farmers' banquet of the Oshawa Rotary Club held at Brooklin. Announcement was made that the Williams Piano Company had begun construction of "sea flea" motor boats. The Oshawa Board of Health arranged for a tuberculosis clin- ic to be held at the Oshawa General Hospital. Dr, J. F. Finigan, physician and sports enthusiast, died at his home on Simcoe street north in his 45th year. The Atlantic and Pacifie store opened a branch at 20 King street west, formerly oce cupied by "Mike's Place." A new $16,000 garage and show room was under con- struction at 145 King street west for the firm of Ross, Ames and Gartshore.

That is an excellent example of a round peg being put into a round hole, for Bert Badanai, the Liberal MP from Fort William, is him- eelf an immigrant, He is, there- fore, ideally equipped, with his rsonal: experiences behind im, to ensure that appropriate considerations are given to ac- tual and would-be immigrants. "It we sincerely intend to build up our population, to the point where we can make full use of the natural resources of Canada, we must do much more to attract immigrants, to facili- tate their admission to Canada, and to help them settle down in their new homeland," Mr. Badanai told me. é Steps which he has in mind and which he will recommend strongly to his minister, include more energetic steps to "sell" Canada abroad as a welcomin; haven for immigrants, an more liberal regulations con- cerning relatives who may be sponsored as immigrants by persons already living in Can- ada. He also thinks that undue hardship is inflicted upon im- migrants by withholding Cana- dian citizenship from them if they cannot pass a test in speaking English or French. T00 LITTLE? Too little warm imagination has been shown over many years past by immigration min- isters and their parliamentary secretaries, Bert considers. He is the first immigrant to hold either of these very sensitive posts. He was promoted to this READERS' VIEWS SONG WRITER Dear Sir: The item, "Scott's Scrap Book" in the Oshawa Times, dated March 12, 1964, convey- ed an erroneous impression concerning the authorship of the songs, 'Auld Lang Syne," and "Comin' Through the Rye." William Shield, an Englishman, was said to be the composer of same. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The following version was culled from the book 'Burns' Poems.," printed by Richard Edward King, Cur- tain Road, E C, London: "Auld Lang Syne: An -exceed- ingly old song going by this name, both the words and the melody of which were, how- ever, entirely different from those the genius of Burns has rendered immortal, was fami- liar generations before his birth all over Scotland." "Coming Through the Rye: Here again is an old song, which until Burns took it in hand, was like the merest dia- mond in the rough cut in per+ fect facets by his inimitable skill. It has been recognizable ever since as a gem of the pur- est water -- one of those jewels five words long, that on the stretched forefinger of all time sparkle for ever. The greatest eongstresses, for instance, Ade- lina Pati, seem to be at their very best when singing it." JAMES MILES. Oshawa TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 20, 1964... Thomas Seymour, lord high admiral of England, was executed 415 years ago today -- in 1549. Seymour, whose sister Jane became the thd wife of Henry VIII, was appa .ted lord high admiral in 1547 and from that time onward was mainly engaged in intrigue agains: his brother, the pros tector Edward Seymour. His plotting, which included relations with pirates it was his duty to suppress and at- tempts to marry the prin- cess Elizabeth, eventually led to a treason conviction. 1939 -- Prime Minister Mackenzie King told Par- liament Canada would re- gard any attack on Britain as an attack on the Com- monwealth. 1944 -- Gen.

Farquhar Oliver's Remarkable Record BY DON 0'HEARN TORONTO--The boy orator is a bit on the grey side but his voice still booms out with the force and vigor of youth. It's hard to credit that Farquhar Oliver is 60, When members of the house paid tribute to him on his 60th birthday you had to pinch your- self a bit to realize that this robust man was really this old. He seemed little different than he did 20 years before, when you had first met him. And certainly left the impres- sion he was still in the bloom of life and would be around for many, many years yet. SOME TRAGEDY? There are those who would say there has been a bit of trag- edy about Mr. Oliver's life. He is now in his third differ- ent term as leader of his party. He has twice led this party in an election, with poor re- sults. And though he was once a cabinet minister, it was only for a period of a year. Other men have had bigger rewards for much less time and effort. However when 'you look at Mr. Oliver's career in a differ- PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM | A scientist says there isn't much difference bebween a man and a monkey. Well, we're thankful for little things.
