She Ostyaron Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher t x THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1964--PAGE 6 Another Commonwealth Country Given Freedom Another colonial territory of Britain has been granted its inde- pendence. Malta has now become the 25th territory to which suc- cessive British governments have given their freedom to govern themselves since the end of the second world war. 'There are thousands of former Maltese citi- zens who are now citizens of Can- ada, and they will rejoice that their native island' has now been given the status of an independent country and a full partner in the Commonwealth. It was not surprising that the 'official ceremony of granting inde- pendence to Malta was greeted with enthusiasm by the people of the island. This status was achieved only after long and difficult nego- 'tiations, in which opposing political groups in Malta had divergent ideas "gs to what their country's future should be. The Prime Minister of Malta, Dr. Borg Olivier, held stead- fastly to a course which led to the final agreement on independence. The leader of the Labor Party, Don, Mintoff, placed many obstacles in the way, by trying to insist on a referendum on the subject of the new constitution. And the third party, led by the redoubtable news- paper publisher, the Hon. Mabel Strickland, was entirely opposed to independence at this time. A great deal of credit must go to Duncan Sandys, Britain's secretary of state for Commonwealth Rela- tions, for steering in the right direction the delicate negotiations which had their final culmination in the ceremony of granting indepen- dence, in which the Duke of Edin- burgh represented the Queen. Malta, the famed George Cross island of wartime glory, is now an independent nation. But is still re- mains a member of the Common- wealth, and as such it will have sympathetic, and practical, assis- tance, not only of Britain, but of its other partners in the Common- wealth family. Queen Is Not Worrying The question of whether Queen "Blizabeth should cancel her visit to >Canada next month because of irres- ponsible threats from a minute seg- ment of Quebec separatists has now reached headlines in the British press, The flame of argument over there was lighted up by a letter 'written to The Times of London by Sir Campbell Stuart, a distin- guished Canadian now living in England. He expressed grave fears that something serious might happen to the Queen in Quebec if she carried out the plans for her tour. Most of the British press com- »ment, however, is opposed to this view. The general feeling is that irreparable damage might be done to the close relations between Britain and Canada were the Queen to agree to the cancellation of her Canadian tour. But that is the last thing that is likely to happen. It has been a matter of tradition in the history of the British Royal 'Family that its members have never shirked a duty, regardless of any unpleasantness that might be involved. Queen Elizabeth will re- main true and steadfast in ad- hering to that tradition. In fact, she is probably worrying-much less than anyone else about the possibi- lity of unpleasant incidents occur- ring during the tour. The unfortunate thing about this whole matter is the prominence 'which has been given to the threats of a handful of individuals who re- present no one but themselves, Even "jn Quebec, they are branded as irresponsible by all right-thinking people, and that includes the over- whelming majority of the people of the province. One can recalll the tumultuous reception which was given to the = mother and father of the present Queen, King George VI and Queen * Elizabeth, when they visited Quebec and Montreal in the spring of 1939. Many can recall the vast throng ef people who assembled in Mont- 'yeal's Dominion Square to demand She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, General Manager C. J.

That enthusiasm sprang from a deep loyalty and affection towards the royal couple. In spite of all that has been said and written about threats to the Queen's safety, the same loyal enthusiasm will of a surely be shown towards her when she visits Quebec next month, It will, of course, be the job of the security authorities to see that proper safeguards are taken to pro- tect the Queen. It can be taken for granted that everything will be done along that line. And the wis- dom of the'Queen's own determina- tion to make the tour will be more than vindicated by the reception which she is bound to receive from her loyal subjects in all parts of Canada which she visits. Other Editors' Views UPGRADED (Globe And Mail) After discovering to its dismay that it was paying psychologists in the Public Health Department less than the going rate for parks care- takers, City Council found a rather clever way out of the problem. It reclassified. six psychologists as psychometric technicians, thereby raising their starting salaries from $4,231 to $5,829. oo It has been obvious for. many years that salaries are more closely related to the designation of the job than to the merit of the holder. Hence ratcatchers became rodent operatives and garbage men be- came sanitary engineers. If the caretakers are worried that they have been leap-frogged by the psychologists, the solution is at hand: to reclassify themselves as, perhaps horticultural security con- sultants. They should be caretul, however, not to pick a title that cannot be made even grander; this would Jand them in dead-end jobs.

These are the Canadian listen- ing- posts and sales windows for countries as important as Rus- sia and as small as Mali, econ- omically as significant to us as the United States or as distant as Formosa. Foreign countries normally change their ambassadors here every three years. So there is a steady procession of newly- arrived plenipotentiaries driyv- ing to Government House in horse-drawn carriage with an escort of Mounties, to be wel- comed by the Governor-Gen- eral. And of course a similar parade of departing ambassa- dors pay their farewell calls on prime minister and foreign miny ister, while their ladies sim- ilarly bid goodbye to their wives This official minuet and much warmer personal adieus have just been completed for the second time by a good friend to Canada who has passed one- third of his lifetime diplomatic career in Ottawa. SON CHOOSES CANADA Willem Dirkse - van - Schalk- wyk was attache with South Afmica's mission here from 1938 to 1944. After spells in Wash- ington, The Congo, Germany, Britain and at the United Na- tions, he with his American- born wife returned to Ottawa in 1960 as high commissioner for our Commonwealth sister-na- tion Within a year, he had. the unusual experience of, in_ his words, "changing his- hat." For reasons which are still a matter of hot controversy here, South Africa withdrew from the Commonwealth and became to us a foreign republic; its high commissioner here changed overnight into the significantly different status of ambassador. But the brother-who-became-a- foreigner remained our friend, as is shown by the fact that nis teen-age son has remained in Ottawa attending the Technical High School, rather than ac- company his father to his im- portant. new post as ambassa- dor to France. YOUR HEALTH ternal Canada during South Africa's transition years cannot have been a bed of roses. That coun- try's policies, as it moves through decolonialization, have been little studied and under- stood less here. Nevertheless, the departed diplomat lefyt be- hind him a personal impression as sweet as roses. Hon. Paul Martin indicated this at the official farewell lunch which the minister of ex- affairs traditionally stages for a departing ambas- sador. Mr. Martin, who has great talent for the apt phrase sin- cerely spoken, referred to the admiration and abiding grat- itude he felt for the understand- ing manner in which the ambas- sador had behaved in their sometimes difficult relations. And, he added, his fervent hope that his excellency would re- visit Canada sometime in the future--"when perhaps we will be on the same side of the fence." WORLD BROTHERHOOD Under appropriate circum. stances Canada would no doubt welcome South africa's return to the brotherhoed of the Com- monwealth. That is too useful a worldwide association to be per- mitted to disintegrate. Canada's own record in race relations is not perfect, and we will have nothing to teach South Africa when that 'country completes its version of the associate state now being pro- posed for Canada. This will set up native states, fully self- governing in internal affairs but interdependent with South Af- rica for foreign relations until they are scif - sufficient. The first such state in the Bantu Homelands has already been es- tablished, with its own parlia- ment and civil service. The aim is to move as: fast towards the goal as is com- patible with stability, to avoid the internal strife which has cursed some other emerging nations. This picture the recent ambassador repeatedly and e!- oquently described to Canadian audiences. Modern Techniques Aid In Diagnosis BY JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD. Dear Dr. Molner: I have renal hypertension and was told I have at the most two yeans to live, My doctor has not put me on a low-salt diet or given me any medication, which I understand is the usual procedure for hy- pertension, I would appreciate your opinion. -- MRS. M.W. First let me say that I long ago discarded my crystal bail and stopped trying to say how long anyone has to live. The forces of nature, new types of therapy and the steadily in- creasing accuracy of diagnosis all play unpredictable parts. Most physicians have expe- rienced or observed situations in which a patient, seemingly too weak to last another day, finally recovers. New forms of treatment prove effective in cases which formerly. did not respond well. And finally, increasing preci- sion of diagnosis, Which is the basis of all good medical care, more and more is able to point te @ treatment where, without j = that accuracy, we had to depend on intuition and hope, This applies to renal hyper- tension -- that is, high blood pressure resulting from some kidney condition, There is no treatment which will apply to all cases of renal hypertension. Not all cases come from the same cause. The trouble may arise from damage from infection. This may be the aftermath of am in- fection early in life. Or it may be a current and acute infec- tion. Pyelonephriits, for ex Or the kidneys may have been damaged by arterial hard- ening. Or a kidney may not be getting adequate blood supply because of renal artery occlu- sion--an artery that has be- come closed off, or partially so, in some ; manner. This fre- quently 1s 'conrected by sungery these days, but an arteriogram is absolutely necessary, That is, dye is introduced into the blood stream, and the dye appears on an X-ay thus showing MAC'S MUSINGS As people reach an age Of advanced maturity, and The afternoon of. life, They have a tendency to Look back over the many Yeans that have gone and Remember the folks with Whom they associated in Those faroff bygone days. That is exactly what I have been doing since Coming back to Oshawa, Only to find out that Many of those whom I Used to know and value As friends are now gone. Recailing the men who Were giants in Oshawa When I first came here Over 35 years ago, there Are a great many gaps Which can never be filled. It is matural that in a City of 20,000 these Public-spirited men should Stand out as giants in The publi¢ service more Than dq their counterparts In the much larger city That Oshawa is today, One cannot help feeling, That these men who did ' So much to build the Foundations of the Oshawa Of today are too easily Forgotten once they have Passed to their reward, And yet those who now Enjoy their life in Oshawa owe much to these . Giants of bygone days. where the defect is and how ex- tensive it is, True, salt restriction is com- monly used in cases of. renal hypertension as well as in other conditions, but it is not the sole form of tmeatment. The best treatment depends upon the ex- act natume of the disease, as welll as upon its extent and duration, and on the patient's ability, both physically and emotionally, to combat the dig- ease, Dear Dr, Molner: Once I mixed household bleach and ammonia together to clean my floor. The fumes were such that I couldn't stay in the room very long at a time, I coughed and sneezed and my nose ran. Later I learned that these two should not be mixed together. Could these fumes have caused any harm to my future health? -- SH. Bleaches generally contain chiorine. The ammonia could well have released enough chio- nine to irritate you. You've learned your lesson. But don't worry about having done. your- self any permanent harm. Dear Dr. Molner: My mother is 73. In recent months she has complained of a chill in her back and shoulders accompa- nied by am itchy sensation. Even with the temperature around 90 she has a cold sweat and feels exhausted. She is of . ~-- disposition, -- MRS. Elderly folks frequently are more sensitive to cold. Harden- ing of the arteries, diminished exercise, a certain amount of anemia, and low thyroid func- tion cam be causes. Medical ex- amination may reveal a condi- tion which can be corrected. Otherwise, sweaters and shawis ane the amswer. NOTE TO MRS. RJ.: Yes, fertility tends to be increased when "'birth contro! pills" are stopped. It is known as a re- bound action. _Dear Dr. Molner: Referring to E.K.'s letter about foot per- spiration, I had this trouble years ago until I switched to vegetable - dyed hosiery. Some of the big SS stores carry it. -- MRS. S.K. Thank you. We cannot as- sume that this will help all peo- ple with this ttouble, but it may help 'some. MAC'S MEDITATIONS Leon Frazer Recalled: First C. of C. Secretary ' By M. McINTYRE HOOD To most of the present gen- eration of Oshawa citizens, the name of Leonard Frazer may not mean anything. It will not ring a bell with them at ail. But to those of the older gen- eration, those who were active in the life of the city some 35 years..ago, his name will bring back vivid memories of a dy- namic' individual whose activ- ities in the civic interest from 1928 to 1932 were outstandng. It brought back nostalgic memories of this lively former resident of Oshawa to read of his death in Toronto the other day at the age of 68. As one who was intimately associated with Leon Frazer duning the yeans he lived in Oshawa, and who main- tained. contacts with him for many years. thereafter, I felt a deep sense of loss in reading of his death. BUILT CHAMBER Leonard Frazer came to Osh- awa in 1928 to become the first secretary of the Oshawa Cham- ber of Commerce and industrial commissioner for the city of Oshawa. The Chamber of Com- merce had been organized for the first time in that year, in a campaign which met with a high degree of success for a city of just over 20,000 people. The late George W. McLaughlin was fits first president. He had been the kingpin of the drive which led to its organization, He had able lieutenants in men like George Hart, Gordon D. Conant, T. B. Mitchell, R. D. Preston, W. M. Gilbert, John Stacey, D, A. J, Swanson, Alex Storie, Frank J. Reddin, R, S, Morphy, Frank L. Mason, Dr. A. J. Harding, Dan Douglas aind A. J. Graves, who, along with others, constituted the committee which undertook the organization of the Chamber of Commerce and the. membership and financial campaign. The campaign was a model of efficiency. The Oshawa Cham- ber of Commerce came into be- ing, and Leonard Frazer was appointed .as its first secretany, the man on whose shoulders rested the responsibility for building it up tobe a useful tool for the development of the greater Oshawa we know today. Simultaneously with this ap- pointment, the city council de- cided to appoint its first indus- commissioner, and this position was tied in with that of secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, so that Leon Frazer was also Oshawa's first indus- trial commissioner. ? DID SPLENDID JOB Mr, Frazer came to Oshawa well qualified for his, new re- sponsibilities, In the early 1920s he had organized the Peterbor- ough Chamber of Commence and was its secretany. The late Premier Howard Ferguson assigned to him the task of or- E ganizing the Ontario Tourist Association, of which he is re- garded as the founder. ~ During the four years of his residence in Oshawa, Mr. Frazer made a tremendous con- tribution to the life of the city. As I remember him, he was a veritable dynamo, full of vigor and energy, and he devoted his talents whole-heartedly to the many tasks which were assign- ed to him. 2 One of the ventures in which he played a prominent part was the oneation of the Oshawa In- dustrial Foundation, a private company of prominent Oshawa citizens formed to promote the bringing of new industry to Osh- awa. It was through its efforts that the Coulter Company Lim- ited, and the Skinner Company, Limited (now the Houdaille.In- dustries Lid.) were brought to Oshawa. 21ST BN. VETERAN Mr, Frazer was also active and a leader in war veteran circles in Oshawa. An officer in the 21st Eastern Ontario Bat- talion in the first world war, he kept alive the loca. branch of the 2ist Battalion Association, and regularly attended the an- nual reunions of that body, He was the last remaining senior officer of the regiment, which, ironically enough, was holding its 1964 annual reunion in King- ston at the time of his death. He was also a tower of strength of Branch 43 of the Royal Cana- BY-GONE DAYS 80 YEARS AGO Sept. 24, 1934 Students of the OCVI held a series of model yacht races at the Oshawa Harbor.
