She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Canadians Humiliated By Lack Of The Canadian ambassador to the UN, Paul Tremblay, has drawn to the attention of Secretary General U Thant the "embarrassment" of Canadian troops on Cyprus. What is needed is much tougher language. The Canadian government - must make it clear to U Thant: that this country is gravely disturbed by the 'continued failure to give UN troops on- Cyprus the authority to make them an effective peace-keeping force. Under present circumstances, the so-called peace-keeping force is a joke. The dangerous and violent Makarios is treating it as a joke, and. the rest of the Greek Cypriots are taking their cue from him. The result is that Canadian and British troops are being humiliated by the gangs which they should be dis- arming, and UN authority is being defied with impunity by armed hoodlums. We welcomed the Canadian gov- ernment's decision to send troops to Values And In Pembroke a few days ago a young man was sentenced to three years in prison for car theft. The sentence was undoubtedly earned, but it started us wondering why so many courts apparently consider theft -- of a car, of a loaf of bread -- a much more serious offence than the sort of driving that takes innocent lives or puts innocent lives in jeopardy. The Pembroke car thief was sen- tenced to three years in prison. So, some weeks earlier, were two men in Perth who had stolen some radios, television sets and musical instruments from a store in Car- leton Place, But in Brockville,.a motorist who went off the road onto a sidewalk, struck and killed a'15-year-old girl, fled the scene with his lights off and went off the'road a second time, was sentenced to a month in jail. The Ottawa Journal reported that he had a record of six convictions Authority Cyprus as part of a UN force. But it was assumed at the time that the vague terms of reference for the force would be clarified and that it would be given the authority and means of restoring the peace on Cyprus. The Secretary General, however, has dawdled; the clarifica- tion and the authority have not been forthcoming. There is only one course for the Canadian government to take now. Either U Thant submerges his reli- gious views long enough to give the UN force an effective mandate to keep the peace -- by resisting violence with violence, if necessary -- or Canada withdraws its contri- bution to that force. Dave McIntosh, a Canadian Press staff writer sént to Cyprus, reports that the British and Canadians have been showing extraordinary res- traint in humiliating conditions. They should not be subjected to such conditions. If they are not permitted to do the job, they should be withdrawn. Sentences for traffic offences and admitted having several bottles of beer two hours before the fatal accident. In Hull, a man _ convicted of criminal negligence in an accident in which a one-year-old child was killed was sentenced to two months in jail. Witnesses said he had been drinking and driving recklessly before the accident. The maximum sentence for criminal negligence is life imprisonment. We are not trying to excuse the thieves. But we cannot understand why thievery so often brings more severe sentences than the criminal- ly negligent handling of a high- powered automobile; why stealing a car, to judge by the sentences, is a more vicious act than the taking of human life by an "impaired" driver: It makes no sense to us, but then perhaps we're wrong in thinking that a human life is more valuable than an automobile. Idea For Foreign Aid A rather interesting idea is being promoted: in the..United States to maintain that country's foreign aid program and at the same time re- duce the drain of dollars. The ide is to ship out obsolescent equipment and. tools instead of dollars. The United States, like Canada, is having trouble with its balance of payments. Unlike Canada, the United States difficulties are com- pounded by its huge foreign aid program. The value of much of that aid has been questioned. Too much of it, it's charged, has been wasted in graft, corruption and extra- vagance by some of the recipients. The Chicago Tribune's business writer, Eliot Janeway, argues this way: "For many an under deve- loped nation, our older and simpler machinery is more usable and prac- tical than are today's high-powered, special-purpose systems and com- plexes engineered with our high- labor costs and mass markets in mind. Besides, used locomotives and printing plants can't be deposited in The Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

A Detroit executive, Ray Eppert, recalls that ten years ago the city of Detroit collected, in a couple of months, 57 carloads of used assets as it contribution to postwar re- construction in Korea. Contributions included lathes, drills, grinders and other machine tools; tractors, pick-up and stake-body trucks; electric motors, X-ray machines and dental chairs; ploughs, harrows and cultivators; paper-balers and hand tools. The effort was certified as non-profit by the revenue de- partment, which meant that the contibutions were tax deductible. Ordinary sale of depreciated assets are not deductible. If the proposed foreign aid contribution were con- sidered non-profit, however, it would mean that donors would find it worthwhile to get rid of the ob- solescence which in many cases is blocking new investment. Cana- dians could ponder this idea. Other Editors' Views CHILD COMES FIRST (Kingston Whig-Standard) The simple fact is that, if the best interests of the child are really at the base of all child welfare regu- lations, no artificial barriers such as the religious one should be allow- ed to stand in the way of a good home for a homeless boy or gifl. The dictates of the various religious groups were made by adults for adults. Children unfortunate enough to be caught up in the adoption mill because of these technicalities are victims of adult dialectics and logic- juggling. WHO GETS CUSTODY OF THE CHILDREN ? REPORT FROM U.K. 11-Plus Replaced By School Profile By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- School pupils in the area covered by the London county council have seen the last of the controversial 11-plus examination which has up to now decided the type of sec- ondary school they would attend. The LCC has announced that from now on the 50,000 or more boys and girls who trans- fer in September each year to secondary schools will go to the type of schools indicated by what is termed the "'school pro- file'. YOUR HEALTH This will be an accumulated record of each child's abilities and interests, built up during the Hole period of the pupil's life. This brings two important changes into effect, It means that ll-year-old pupils will be freed from the bugbear of a se- lective examination. It also means that parents will have some freedom of choice in the schools their children will at- tend. NEW SYSTEM This is an entirely new de- parture in education for the London County Council. Last July, the LCC education com- Eating Disturbed By Canker Sores By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I was 19 when I first got canker sores in my mouth. Now I am 25 and still have the problem. About a week before my menstrua! pe- riod they appear and they are so sore that my eyes water from the pain and I can't eat solid food, My mother said she had the same problem. What causes this? I have had all sorts of suggestions--rinsing my mouth every few hours with salt water, medicines and even a prescription to make my mouth numb so I can eat a de- cen tmeal.--MRS. R, L, You do. have a_ miserable problem. Many others have it, too, but rarely to the degree you describe In some women, changes in the system at the time of the pe- riod cause various difficulties hives, cankers, and so on, There are other causes of canker sores, too--allergy or a chronic infection 5 Possibly an antihistamine taken as the period approaches may help. It has done so in many cases Recently a new preparation for cankers has been placed on the market, Discuss it with your doctor. Dear Dr. Molner: tioned "caleified spots" in lung X-rays, and a remark about "whether they are from TB or histoplasmosis or $s 0m ething else." What is this histoplasmosis? What can the "something else" be? Can the doctor tell which, and can he be sure it is a calcified spot? . Does it really make you im- mune if it was TB?--A,. M. Histoplasmosis is a_ yeast- like infection of the lung which sometimes looks, in X-rays, a great deal like TB. Sometimes further tests are needed to be sure--skin tests are available for both FB and "histo." What else could a. "'calcified spot'? be? The scarring from any type of infection or injury. Tumors also show as spots. But there are various infections which can attack the' lungs. Sometimes an X-ray gives an immediate and strong indica- tion of just what the trouble is; sometimes further tests are needed. It becomes a_ highly technical problem. No, having had TB does not provide. any immunity against recurrence Dear Dr. Molner: What about transverse myelitis? I have had it three years. I have improved very much but still cannot walk more, than half a block. Will I ever recover?--F. V. You men- This is damage .across the spinal cord. It can be from in- jury, infection or in some cases allergy or hypersensitivity, such as at times with rabies vaccine. Recovery is always slow, but the fact that you have shown such improvement is a- good sign, Unless your doctor. has some specific reason to believe otherwise, I would look forward to further improvement. Whether it will be complete is less likely, Dear Dr, daughter's Molner: hands are with warts, and now they .are coming on her face. Do you know of anything besides nitrie acid to cure them?--MRS, A.E.LK. Don't use nitrie acid) HW can cause scarring, If there are ao many warts that you are tipesel about them, take her to your doctor or to a skin specialist Dear Dr. Molner: is it healthy for an adult te with a 10-year-old child'. tha I don't say it is "unhealthy but there's a differenve: in the amount of sleey needed Wh child and the adult. Ut is prefer able for the child to be able ta sleep straight through the wight undisturbed My little covered un sleepy the - mittee decided, in principle, to abolish the 11-plus examination. Since then, education chiefs at County Hall have been working on the new system which it 's proposed to introduce in the school program this year. The interesting feature in it is this new tool known as the "school profile'. It will not con- tain any results of tests in Eng- lish, arithmetic or any other subject. Nor will it include any of the intelligence test results, usually referred to as the 1Q. CLASSIFIED CHILD The school profile, however, will give, according to the edu- cational authorities, enough in- formation about a child's attain- ments and ability for secondary schools to deal with admissions and to place pupils in suitable teaching groups. And parents will have two choices of sec- ondary schools for their sons and daughters, without restric- tion by the council, The statement of the LCC an- nouncing this drastic change says: 'The great majority of the pupils are likely to be admitted to the school of first choice. Where this cannot be done -- because a school has too many applicants -- the second choice will be met as far as_ possible." To make sure that a primary school head's statement of a youngster's ability is fair in comparison with.those of his col- leagues in other schools a "Lon- don standard" is to be estab- lished. Although the London County Council is to be abolished next year, education in the whole of the present LOC area will re- main the responsibility of one educational body. So the plan being inaugurated this year will be carried on into the future, PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "There's nothing like advet- sity to bring out what's in a man," save a psychologist, Oh, we don't knew there's sea. sloknees Uitikes allract.

OTTAWA REPORT White Paper Hits At Brass Empire By PATRICK NICHULSON OTTAWA -- Paul Hellyer's white paper on defence has caused more than a_ flutter among the camp followers in Canada's largest armed camp --Ottawa. It promises to de- stroy the cosy and costly em- pire which the brass in the three services have built for themselves at the taxpayers' expense. The white paper outlines the defence problems: operational control and. effectiveness, streamlining of procedures, re- duction of duplicated and need- less overhead coast, and espec- ially the decision-making pro- cess, The report. of the Glassco royal commission on govern- ment organization hit the nail neatly on the head when review- ing the employment of 125,000 members of our armed forces. "About 60,000 military pecgon- nel, all of whom have been re- cruited 'into the services as physically fit for the active de- fence of Canada, are ehgaged in non-combatant duties," the report said. Couple that with Glassco's finding that the average annual pay of "other ranks" in the services is $4,772, while civil- ian employees of the defence de- partment average $4,014, and one realizes that the huge ad- ministrative em pir é, located chiefly in national defence head- quarters in Ottawa, is a costiy and triplicated source of delay, confusion and Was MUST MERGE INTO ONE "The government has decided that there is only one adequate solution,' says the white paper. "It is the integration of the armed forces of Canada under a single chief and a single de- fence staff." This column has frequently drawn attention to the glaring waste of employing expensively trained, lavishly uniformed and highly paid soldiers, sailors and airmen in Ottawa as chauffeurs and 'cleaning women' for the top brass in their homes, and as clerks and messengers in their ofiices. As long as the brass clings to GALLUP POLL outdated domestic perquisites, which are not granted the av- erage employee in industry or even to cabinet ministers, the taxpayers will continue to pay for corporals as cleaners and sergeants as sweepers. But the white paper does promise ef- ficiency and e¢conomy in spheres where it has been lacking, and" an end to the thinly disguised governmental concept that "de- fence" is a make-work program to reduce unemployment. The co - ordination of three separate services was the rea- son for the top-heavy headquar- ters. It was attempted by com- mittee--there were more than 200 "tri - service' committees. Glassco referred to "'the weak- ness of this committee system" evidenced by "procrastination and inter-service disagreements amounting to a virtual refusal to accept direction." Refusal to accept direction in armed forces in the olden days was called mutiny, and recalci- trant brass was hanged from the yard-arm, Canada has employed QUEEN'S PARK the less bloodthirsty method of retiring duds on' pension: junior officers at age 45, each with a golden: handshake estimated by : Glassco to cost the tax } $50,000. This rises to $190,900 per pensioner for the highly trained and experienced top brass, who are retired at the grotesquely and unequalled early age of 55 or even less. MUST WATCH COST ' Unification wil}l streamiine command; but will it reduce the cost or the manpower? For in- stance, each service used 10 have its own chaplain service, headed by a lieutenant-colonel or equivalent rank; for effi- ciency and "economy," . these were amalgamated now headed by two brigadiers aided by full colonels. : Unless Parliament watches the taxpayers' money with care, we will end up with the same topheavy rank structure draw- ing the same pay, and only titles changed. At least unification promises an end to such foolishness a3 Glassco found in telecommuni- cations: "'the lack of an effec- tive executive authority led to the abandonment of the unsuc- cessful attempt to consolidate an integrated teletype relay sys- tem under tri-service committee direction, and the consequent development of three wasteful and increasingly inadequate net- works."" "Ontario May Have Own Pension Plan BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO It's accepted here now that Ontario even- tually is going to end up with its own pension program. This comes only indirectly from Premier Robarts' state- ment in Quebec. Mr. Robarts actually did not commit himself in this state- ment. , It could have been made by a man giving an advance warn- ing that Ontario intends to with- draw. But it also could have been made by a man who intended to stick out to the end, for politi- cal purposes, and then to capit- ulate. What has forced opinion is Tory Majority Favored Open Leadership Vote By CANADIAN INSTIUE of PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) When the climate of public opinion was sought on whether the vote of confidence in John Diefenbaker's leadership, pass- ed at.a' recent Tory convention, should have been by secret bal- lot or an open vote, 52 per cent would have preferred the secret vote. Thirty - nine percent approved the open vote and 9 per cent were undecided. A secret ballot for an estab- lished party leader is not cus- tomary in Canada, which ts probably why 56 per cent of Conservatives favored the open vole, Thirty-seven percent ap- proved the secret ballot and 7 percent were undecided. But the Liberals (58 percent) and members of other parties (64 percent) favored the secret ballot. The question: "A vote of con- fidence in Mr. Diefenbaker as party leader was passed at the recent Conservative convention. It was by an open vote rather than by secret ballot. Do you approve or disapprove of this?" Approve Open Approve Secret Vote NATIONAL 39% CONSERVATIVE 56 LIBERAL 30 OTHER 33 Undecided 9% Vote READERS' VIEWS FIGHT AGAINST TB Dear. Sir: The theme for World Health Day this year was "No Truce for 'TB.' The object of this day ix to focus the attention of all people of the world on vital health problems, The theme has, naturally, made observ- ance of the day of particular interest to all TB Associations, lt_is less than 100 years ago since.

The disease begins -- subtly, the symptoms are easy to hide, it is a disease of great expense -- in treatment, in economic structure, of careers, in disloca- tion of family life, and in sheer duration. But what use are re- search and treatment facilities if those who need them, ignore or avoid them? Early diagnosis and treatment are the main weapons against TB. These weapons will be ours to use only if two things happen in our minds as individual citizens; 1. That we understand the value of early case-finding and 2. That we support and co-operate with programs which do this. Your TB Association is: plan- ning to commence tuberculin test and chest Xr-ay surveys throughout Ontario County com- mencing in 1965.

MRS. E. A. COLLINS Executive Secretary, Ontario County Tuberculosis, and Health Association. Oshawa the knowledge which has leaked { out that the province actually has had a plan of its own on the drawing boards. It isn't known how far beyond the skeleton stage this may be, but it is there, And the aim of the program would be to offer more compre- hensive coverage than the fed- eral plan. There would be bet- ter survivor benefits, pensions for disabled etc. : With the increasingly stiff at- titude Mr. Robarts has shown towards Ottawa, this is taken to mean that at the proper time he will go ahead on his own. WONDER WHY? Assuming this is right, a wide- spread field of speculation is opened up. Why would the premier de- cide to have an Ontario plan? Has he really been commitied to this from the start--as the opposition claims--and only go- ing through motions of co-oper- ation for political purposes? Is he really afraid of the fed- eral plan and convinced he can produce a better one? Does he intend to tie in a plan with the private insurance in- dustry? Is he playing deep politics to tie in with a Conservative anti- Quebec policy in the next fed- eral election? His program will cost more-- does he think the people of On- tario will buy it over the fed- eral plan? Premier Lesage needs an in- dustrial development fund -- a major practical reason for stay- ing out of the federal plan, Does Mr. Robarts want one also? He has never said so. And it would be against his strong "free enterprise" beliefs. WHILE YET These questions won't be an- swered soon. Some of them may never be. It probably will be a matter of months before there is @ point of actually announcing a decision, But many people will be ask- ing them. Hospital Deaths Prevention Sought TORONTO (CP) --.The On- tario Hospital Association has issued recommendations aimed at ensuring that questonable hospital deaths are reported swiftly to coroners. In a questionnaire accom- panying the OHA circular, the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons has asked the province's 75 hospitals what acion is taken to determine the competence of doctors granted hospital privileges and what disciplinary action is taken against offenders. The moves follow recent in- quests into post-operative hospi- tal deaths and criticism ds At- torney-General Cass that doc- tors and hospitals are not obey- ing the letter of the law in re- porting questionable deaths to coroners. The OHA circular says that all persons suspecting a ques- tionable death must immediat- ely inform a coroner and sug- gests that the primary respon- sibility for this rests with the at- tending physician or hospital ad- ministrator.
