Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 1964--PAGE 6 Ex-President Refuses To Provide Leadership The most enigmatic figure in the tragi-comedy presented by the U.S. Republicans on their way to choosing a presidential candidate has been Dwight D. Eisenhower. Historians of the future may well look to these weeks and months for the defini- tive clue to the personality of this deceptively simple man who had greatness thrust upon him and who frequently bore the burden of great- ness with courage and dignity. And they may find the clue in his re- luctance to make a decision without a meeting of a board of advisers. As a soldier, he lacked the gaudy genius of MacArthur and the strategic sense of Alexander and Marshall. He was, obviously, a sound 'ataff officer but had no chance to tghow what he could do in an im- portant field command. He was conditioned to the staff approach-- to a reverence for channels of com- munication, to a firm belief in the collection of "expert" opinions, pre- 'ferably by the committee method, before making a decision. As a staff 'officer, too, he learned the value of tact and patience. These qualities Implications According to a poll taken by Maclean's magazine, two-thirds of all Canadians are in favor of econ- 'omic union with the United States, and nearly one-third favor» both economic and political union. But in an apparent contradiction, the sur- vey also reports that 74 per cent of Canadians feel that action should 'be taken to restrict further take- overs. of Canadian businesses by Americans. Alongside a determina- tion to be "masters in our own house", it seems, there is a feeling we should seek -- or perhaps will not be able to avoid -- economic union with the United States. We wonder if those who voted in favor of economic union -- not a limited economic agreement, but full-scale union -- pondered the broad implications of such a move. To be effective, there would have to be free movement not only of goods, but also of capital and labor, which would tend to produce similar systems of banking, taxation, labor regulations, marketing of agricul- tural and other products, and so on, made him a good choice as the commander of an inter-allied force which contained many brilliant, often headstrong and sometimes conceited subordinates, His career as president followed the same pattern, with major de- cisions virtually being made for him by the preparation of "briefs" by his 'staff officers". As an ex-president, however, he must stand alone. He has no staff, no subordinate bearers of respon-' sibility. As his backing and filling in the Republican nomination situ- ation reveals, his solitude makes him .uneasy and uncertain, He doesn't like many of Goldwater's views but will not come out against him. He advises Scranton to make a run, then abandons him and still later apparently changes his mind again. Frustrated modartes in the party find it almost impossible to find out what he is for or against for any length of time. Yet he re- tains enormous prestige, and his blessing would push any candidate a long way towards the nomination. Of Union Could political independence be preserved under those circumstan- ces? It's doubtful.:-The choice would seem to be, not economic union, but simply union. Prof. H. Ian Macdonald of the University of Toronto warned in a recent speech that economic union would produce supranational institu- tions with a distinct U.S. flavor, and on matters of policy, the voice of the United States could not help but be stronger. It was Prof. Macdonald's conten- tion that it is wrong to assume that Canadians and Americans are the same people. The trappings are similar, he said, but they are fun- damentally different in background and ambitions. The worst thing that could happen for both countries, he thought, would be for Canada to be- come a helpless satellite of Wash- ington. What it boils down to, in fact, is a question of nationhood. A partial answer, at- least, may come out of the flag debate. Do we want to be Canadians, or something else? Virtue In Bankruptcy? Bankruptcy is ordinarily regard- ed as calamity -- evidence of bad judgment, bad management, . or perhaps bad luck. However, sug- Stigler of the University of Chicago, bank- ruptcy at least has the virtue of curbing waste and ending failure. It is unfortunate, he suggests, that the discipline of bankruptcy does no apply in the realm of govern- ment activity. Professor Stigler, who seems to be somewhat of a modern heretic, is concerned that there is no way of measuring the effectiveness of public economic policies and insti- tutions. With an associate he has recently concluded a study of vari- ous government activities in the United States. He is not impressed. One example is his finding con- cerning the effectiveness of state regulatory commissions in the elec- tric utility industry, an industry She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

"It is very doubtful," says Pro- fessor Stigler, "whether consumers have been saved as much by public regulation of the electrical utilities as they have had to pay, directly and directly, for regulation." Another example is the Securi- ties and~ Exchange Commission long regarded as the protector of the interests of the private in- vestor. The SEC has issued mil- lions of words about how it works and how the stock markets work, he comments, yet his examination showed that in some ways the effects. of SEC regulation on the fortunes of buyers of new stock issues has been quite insignificant, To get back to bankruptcy. "One great invention of private enter- prise," Professor Stigler submits, "is bankruptcy, an institution for putting an eventual stop to costly failure. No such institution has yet been conceived of in the polit- ical process, and an_ unsuccessful policy has no inherent termination. Indeed, political rewards are more closely proportioned to failure than to success, for failure demonstrates the need for larger appropriations and more power... The two sources of this tenacity in failure are .the belief that government must be able to solve any social problem, and the absence of objec-. tive measures of failure and suc- cess." a point he does not mention is that not all bankruptc'es are honest failures. In Canada, at least, the bankruptcy law has often been misused, CHINESE FORTUNE COOKIE REPORT FROM U.K. Artists' Exhibit Popular Feature By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- One of the most interesting and crowd-drawing attractions of London in the early summer is the annual artists' exhibition, held at the Embankment Gardens at Char- ing Cross, There the artists of London have the privilege of placing samples of their work on the railings alongside the embankment, and then wait- YOUR HEALTH ing for potential buyers to re- ward them by acquiring their works of art. This exhibition, being held this year for the 18th succes- sive summer, is one of the cul- tural activities sponsored by the London County Council. Each year it has grown in scope, and this year hundreds of paintings are attracting large crowds to view the work of London's art- ists of the less prominent type. As I wandered along the em- bankment viewing the paintings Antibiotic Clears Some Fungi Types By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: You re- cently had an article concern- ing the drug griseofulvin and mentioned its use for fungus in- fection of the nails, I have a friend who con- tracted this ailment or some- thing similar, He said the army diagnosed it as a fungus infec- tion. The treatments gave nega- tive results. He will not see a doctor (he's had the condition for about 20 years and thinks nothing will help him). My friends and I are trying to con- vince him that griseofulvin may help.--H.G.Z, Griseofulvin is an antibiotic which attacks fungi. (Most anti- biotics attack bacteria but have no effect on a fungus infection.) This is the only one, to my knowledge, which attacks fungi at all, But it does a fantastically good job in the right cases, It is not just for fungus of the nails. Fungus infections can attack the feet, the ears, the scalp (ringworm being an ex- ample) or any other area, When the nails are affected, you can't expect quick results. It will be several months be- fore the old nails grow out and are fully replaced by new ones. But -- the important thing -- if you defeat the fungus infection, and keep it conquered until the fungus - laden nails have dis- appeared, then you've got the problem whipped. There are people who have suffered for 20 years and up- GALLUP POLL ward, and who then got rid of the trouble in a matter of a few weeks or months, It's a prescription drug, so you must have a doctor pre- scribe--and, incidentally, decide whether to use the drug at all. One, must be sure the infection is due to a fungus. Some types of fungus dis- appear quickly. Others with- stand the drug. The trick is to know. which is which, There's no reason to expect the average physician to be able to distinguish one type from anotser, unless he happens to have studied this difficult subject. But a dermatologist usually can because that's his spec- ialty. (There will be some cases in which he can't be sure, but in a great many he can give a reliable forecast of what to expect.) This is not a brand new drug. It ha. been in use for perhaps half a dozen years or so, which is sufficient to show that it is safe, and that it is effective with some fungi and not with others. The drug is taken by mouth. The amount must be carefully calculated, People who give up 10 or 15 or 20 years ago should try this, -provided their doctors identify their cases as suitable. Whether Mr. H.G.Z,'s friend will benefit, I can't say. But I hope he has the kind of fungus that will yield, Liberals Make Gains Mostly From Socreds THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION -(World Copyright Reserved). Liberals show gains in all regions, and are up substan- tially in Quebec where their gains come primarily from the Social Credit Party, Conserva- tives are off marginally in the Western provinces where both Liberals and Social Credit favor. have picked up slightly, The undecided segment of the voters is high -- particularly in Quebec province where, cur- rently, it stands at 24 per cent -- almost one fourth of the electorate.. Nationally, the un- decided figure is 21 per cent, in Ontario it is 20 per cent and in the West, 16 per cent. These are main factors in the latest Political Party stand- ings as charted regularly by the Gallup Poll, based on the classic question: "If a Federal election were held today which party's candi- date do you think you would favor?"

While it has been sponsored by the London County Council, next spring will see the end of that body, when its functions are taken over by the Greater London Council. The artists fear that with the passing of the LCC, their an- nual exhibition may also pass out of existence. They have a very strong impression that the Arts Council is bringing pres- sure to bear to ensure that the Greater London Council does not continue the exhibition in future years. MEANS MUCH One of the artists who ex- pressed this fear was William Green of Greenfield in Middle- sex, His painting of 'Rolling Stones" was the centre of great interest at this year's exhibi- tion. Mr. Green said: "Next year the LOC is being disbanded, and we have had reports that this will mean the closure of the exhibition, We look forward to this show every year. It. 'a lot to artists of England and it is the only chance some of us have to display our work. Now- adays it is impossible to get paintings displayed in the Royal Academy, and we under- stand the Arts Council is press- ing the LCC to use its influence to close the exhibition." Lord Cottialow, chairman of the Arts Council, however,. de- nies that any pressure is being used to have the exhibition closed. He pointed out that while the paintings are often not of a very high standard, he would be sorry to see op- portunities for painters to ex- hibit their works lost. Sir Isaac Hayward, who leads the Labor majority on the LCC, says that it is entirely up to the Greater London.. Council what it decides to do about the exhibition. "'We tell it what the ICC has done before, and leave it to make up its own mind. But I think it would be a pity if the exhibition closed." The last word came from 75- year-old Fred Catton from Hove, one of the oldest exhibi- tors. He said: 'We have been called the Poor Man's Royal Academy, and glorified pavement artists, but we will put up with these jibes just as long as people spend their lunch hours to come and view our works." OTTAWA REPORT Voluntary Health Committee Meets By PATRICK NICHULSON OTTAWA--How was Hamlet's "father murdered? That original 16th century murder mystery by William Shakespeare was the unex- pected highlight raised by the Mi guest speaker, Dr. Terence Cawthorne, the distinguished British surgeon, at the recent luncheon meeting of the Par- liamentary Voluntary Health. Committee. An invitation to attend a meeting of this influential, but informal committee, is one of the most highly-prized treats on Parliament Hiji. Its gatherings are always p ked to capacity. The guests enjoy the good com- - pany of the members, a stimus lating speech by an outstanding guest, and a tasty lunch. Welland's Dr. W. H. MeMil- lan was chairman at this meet+ ing, having recently succeeded Orillia's Dr, P.B, Rynard, who also attended, accompanied by Mrs. Rynard, who was making one of her welcome visits to Parliament Hill. QUEEN'S PARK The audience of about 65. in- cluded more than a dozen la- dies, and the usual -big turnout of senators and MPs. - Among these I also Bert Badanai (Fort William) sitting next to urdo Martin of Timmins; Oakville's Dr. Hatry Harley chat with Dr. Guy Marcoux from ebec City; Guelph's ever-busy Alf Hales with Mar- vin Howe from Arthur and Dr. Willoughby from Kamloops. The ever-alert Senator Tom Crerar was there; he will be receiving many wishes. on his 88th birthday today as [ also completes a unbroken years on Parliament Hill as MP., cabinet minister and then as senator, At the head table was ~ r Josie Quart, the font of tinguishable energy from Quebet City. BRITAIN'S MEDICARE Dr. Cawthorne, president of the Royal Society of Medicine, is perhaps the outstanding specialist in diseases of the ear, nose and throat in Britain. Patrol Of Waters Impossible Task BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The boating sea- son is here, and with it drown- ings, and with these the de- mand for more police protec- tion against them. This is an impossible de- mand. Not that there aren't more police water patrols, and will be still more. The OPP now has eight iarge boats and 30 small ones on patrols throughout the prov- ince, And each year the num- ber is being increased. But obviously it is never go- ing to be able to provide full protection, particularly the pro- tection against drowning that the public wants. It could have 1,000 boats and not provide this. About the best the provincial force can do is to try and curb reckless boat operators and wa- ter skiers in the more con- gested recreation waters. With the great growth in boating even this is a_ big mouthful to chew on, One gratifying development is that there is growing co-op- eration between the responsible federal and provincial authori- ties, Ottawa agencies, particularly the ROMP, have a lot of the responsibility for policing wa- terways. In fact they have all of it except for infractions of the Criminal Code. This has meant that in some TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 17, 1964... The Second Narrows Bridge collapsed into Burr- ard Inlet at Vancouver, kill- ing 18 workmen six years ago today--in 1958. Two sec- tions of the unfinished bridge--375 feet of its pro- posed two - mile length-- crashed into the tide-swept water shortly before the men were .to quit for the day. The $16,000,000 six-lane bridge was due for comple- ion late in 1958. Previously, the highest death toll in an accident in British Colum- bia was 44 men who died in a mine explosion at Blake- burn in 1930. 7 1932 -- Explosion followed by fire on the oil tanker Cymbeline killed 30 persons in Montreal harbor. 1944-- Iceland was pro- claimed an independent re- public. - tural Society Group for There are 29 ereat whiskies Private Stock CANADIAN RYE WHISKY cases there have been two agencies patrolling an area. And in others, where patrols have been needed, there have been none. Th two levels of govern- ment have been getting to- gether on this, and there will be a better effort in the future. Also helping the situation is voluntary patrolling. Some ppwer squadrons and boat clubs throughout the prov- ince have been putting their own water safety squads on the water. The Lakehead, it is said, has been giving a particularly fine lead in this direction. Me spoke about the National, Health Service in Britain, some- ° times referred to as "social- ized medicine." He described how 85 per cent of Britons now receive their medical care and drugs free of charge, the cost being shared by all taxpayers, and amounting to $1.10 per per- son per week, This totals $2,800,000,000 for the population of about 50,000,000 in Britain, or nearly double Canada's total expenditure on national de- fence, Dr. Cawthorne referred to the "brain drain", or exodus from Britain of trained scientists and other skilled professionals. fe explained, afer, canpleting e exp a their medical training in Brit- ain at a total cost of $27,000 each, of which nine-tenths is paid by the state, Is this quite fair of the emi- grants, and quite fair to the British taxpayers? he asked. most fascina his address was his I cat footnote; this was his novel ex- planation, as an ear specialist, of how Hamlet's father was murdered, | Shakespearian readers will recall the ghost's denial of the official report that, while slee ing in his orchard as was his usual afternoon custom, he was stung by a serpent which poi- soned him. But the truth, the ghost explained, was that the "serpent" was his own brother, who "'poured the juice of cursed hebona from a vial into the porches of mine ears." The human ear conststs of a short tube, sealed at the end by a taut piece of skin forming the eardrum. No juice could flow into the body through the ear unless it was a corrosive acid, which would eat its way through the membrane of the eardrum. But this would be painful; it would have awakened Hamlet's sleeping father, and permitted him to see who his murderer was. What is the explanation of this old Shakespearian mys- tery? asked the doctor. It is, in his belief, the little known fact that in those days half the population suffered from a per- forated eardrum. The "serpent" could have poured a biand, warm fluid, such as hyacene or essence of mushrooms, into the ear with- out waking the sleeping king. This would have flowed through the pierced eardrum, into the intestines, and so have poisoned the victim, BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO JUNE 17, 1939 Miss Gladys Page, of Ennis- killen, captured four of the nine prizes awarded to the graduat- ing class of nurses under the direction of Miss Barbara Bell, superintendent of Nurses at the Oshawa General Hospital.
