Barrie Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher Brian Sleight General Manager rerun JANUARY Pan Kashmir Presents Problem For Careful Administration Affairs in Kuhmir are growing in im penance Pakistan India Red China and Russia are all now taking hand in the affairs of that province new parliament is to be elected and in oper ation on March 23 i962 in Pakistan Red China has seized border lands of India and is building roads through them to join up with Pakistan in its dispute with India over Kashmir India is taking advice from the US as to the part it should play in this province dispute Russia is applying the veto to prevent the United Nations Security Council from dealing with the matter And in the meantime guerrilla warfare has broken out in Kashmir whose population is markedly Moslem Indias position in Kashmir is far from strong but Mr Nehru whose fore fathers came from Kashmir has natural weakness for the province and wishes to retain it Should clash develop between India and Red China over the border lands the US would presumably aid India militarily Prime Minister Nehru pacifist by upbringing and education blows hot and cold but cannot make up his mind to tackle the situation as he should And no one can accept Soviet promises or even signed agreements not backed up by certainty of performance as these would be worthless The Russians will use every conceiv able device to spiead falsehood and dis tortion so as to create confusion fear and loss of confidence They have no intention of doing otherwise and all we can do is to prevent senseless and mutually destructive war from breaking out and bringing another disaster to all mankind Gradual Retirement Plan As Canada becomes more and more an industrial nation one of the perplex ities faced by the workers is that of compulsory retirement at fixed age There is not only the question of dimin ished income but there also are the matter of readjustment of lifetime hab its and the possibility of more leisure time than man wants One possible solution is gradual re tirement Case histories of its ap plication by US government depart ment are described by an article in the Labor gazette If an employee wants to keep work ing after the retirement age of 65 re ports the article in reference to the pri vate employer he must take leave without pay for one month during the first year after the age of retirement is reached two months leave during the second year and so on These absences are in addition to his regular vacation and his retirement income is increased each year that his retirement is delayed For example an employee making $6000 year at 65 with retirement income of $3000 year available to him is permitted to continue with the com pany for three more years At that time his income is $4500 year His retirement income in the meantime in creases 26 per cent from the original $8000 and since he is entitled to Social Security benefits of more than $1200 year he now has greater income if he retires from thecompany than ifiie continues to work In this way Wrigleys employees are helped to get adjusted to living on is gradually smaller income each year and to find other things of interest to occupy their time After 11 years of experience with this plan the company believes it is serving its intended purpose The gradual retirement program in troduced by the us Department of Health Education and Welfare offers its employees two possibilities they can either be given fewer or lessdemanding Job duties or their time on the Job can be reduced Other Editors Views WHEAT PRODUCTION London Free Press Canadian farmers who were told not many months ago to curb their wheat growing before heavy surplus to aban don marginal land and get off overpop ulated farms now are being advised to grow more grain The luck or success of Canadian wheat marketing coupled with drought year on the prairies has reversed the trend Agriculture Minister Hamilton who in itiated the farm withdrawal plan now is asking for 500000000 bushels of wheat yearlyjor two years somewhat above normal Canadian production to meet the forecast farm export In Ontario where feed grain is always questionable crop producers were asked by the new prov incial minister Stewart to speed up grain growing to meet the western shortage Although the demand now exists it is in sporadic market It is well to have surplus of wheat as the bread of life to the world but we do not want tube en couraged into again building up billion bushel overplus Consistent wheat mar kets are scarce sudden Chinese de mand should not upset our entire agri cultural policy ULTIMATE MADNESS Hamilton Spectator The British government has issued no plans for fallout shelters It has been left to the average householder to provide protection in or near his home To North Americans this lack of official encour agement may look like fatalism In the grim and ultimate logic of nuclear war are person holed up in shelter must have better chance of survival than one who is exposed In densely populated countries the death rate in nuclear attack would be beyond human

Countryman has seen sizable number of revolutionary improvements in the last half century andhe is op posed to them There was time when Macmillan Has Remainedy In Power For Five Years LONDON CP Five years ago today Maurice Harold Mac millan kissed bands with the Queen and accepted seals of of fice as Britains 42nd prime minister Few thought he would last long He inherited the ruins of Sir Anthony Edens illvstarred Suez policy gasoline was ra iioned an economic crisis threatened thousands of Brits ens lined up to emigrate to Cans ads and other Commonwealth countries seeking brighter future for their children Yet miraculously Macmillan survived He became Supermac the unflappabie man who could stand up to Russias Ni kita Khrushchev who could carry criticism of spanheid right into segregationist South Africa who could snap his fin gers and dismiss theresigna iioos of senior colleagues as little local difficulties He emerged as one of Brit ains most travelled ministers regularly selling aside suffocat ing routine for winter iourneys that took him to every corner of the Commonwealth except Malaya and gave him judg ment based on practical expe rience that none of his cabinet cohorts could match RECORD LIKELY Today with his 68th birthday just around the corner this late blooming prime minister who conceals an unexpected shyness behind an urbane Ed wardian manner seems likely to set is mummmxy Tory rec ord for political longevity If he stays in office untilI the general election likely to be held in the fall of 1963 he will become the longest continuously serving rvative prime minister in more than 100 years Among peacetime prime min TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH Great Many Lumps lire Not Cancemus By DR JOSEPH MOLNER Dear Mr Molner What percentage of breast lumps in girls under 21 are malig nant Would malignant lump show any growth in 10 months is there any positive test except removal which can show what causes lump What is your opinion of lump which swells and be comes sare along with the restof the breast before each menstrual cycle and recedes and loses the sore ness aiterwardFTD By dint of education we at last have many women watching for signs of that common peril breast cancer Now its time obviously to make clear that great many getting ready for bed in cold Walther lumps are not malignant was regular ities After supper was finished and the kitchen readied up Mother put soap stones and smooth chunks of maple or oak into the oven to warm Then when it began to get late along about 830 she wrapped themJn flannel cloth and placed them strategically in the beds man wanted warm spot for his shoulder one for his hips and another at the foot of the bed so his toes would be warm as he drifted into the welcome period of unconsciousness VA bedroom under theeaves could be very cold on zeroish windy night but if fellow part of the days activ had three warm spots waiting he could make out Naturally citizen wore his long un ion suit under his flannel nightgown and the gown was long enough so it could be wrapped snugly around ones toes With this sort of equipment plus deep feather bed and plenty of blan kets and quilts man was well insul ated This business of lightweight night clothes plus electrified bedding has its good points but life was more stable and livable when getting ready for bed was serious part of the daily business of winter living Any lump is worth examining however many will be harm less and some will be of only minor significance To answer todays questions cant provide percent age of malignant lumps in girls under 21 years The per centage am sure is small It is rare for such malignancy at that age Yes malignant lump would show growth in 10 monthsbut hope nobody waits that long Yes there are methods other than removal which are used to detenniue what is causing the lumpa technique known as transillurnioation rays and aspiration that is drawing out fluid from cyst For the final question the breast is made up of what We call dynamic tissue It relt sponds to glandular activity which in turn rises and falls to regulate menstruation Because of this it is not un usual for this glandular rise and fall to cause the breast to be congested and sore before pe riod and return to normal after ward If cystic lump exists it too can swell and perhaps become sensitive as the glandular ae iivlty rises and then recede age as glandular activity sub sides Thus this sort of cyclical fluo tuation in size of lump is sub stuntinl indication that it is cyst However if your mind still isnt at rest concerning it re moval of the cyst ibiopsy is relatively simple It will not be deforming and will settle posi tively the question of whether it is malignant or benignits pretty certain to he the

REPORT Board Authorize Brave New Rules By PATRICK NICHOLSON 19m will almost certainly be the year of our first television election This is not to suggestthsl television novelty or was not available in any previous elections But this year there will be two very significant new VIACIDII which will entirely change the use made of televi sion by the competing parties unless their campaign man agers are all blind to the new opportunity presented In the first place the 1962 election will be the its in which the private stations pre sent an alternative to the CBC And more important the 1961 election will belbe first in which the new looser and more realisticregulations re candy promulgated by the Board of Broadcast Gover bars will give the rival political parties some scope for ingen uity in creating new and up pcaling political programs CRAMPED mfAGlNATION The old regulations siuffy rules created by stuffy CBC prohibited any dramaiirailnn in political broadcasting All that was permitted was 11 mon ologue harnngue by one slu dlobound politician But under the brave new rules of the Board of Broadcast Governors we may now see politics wrapped up in the su gar coating of entertainment We may see presentations whose nature is as yet uncer tain and will take shape in ac cordance with the ideas of the various political planners or better in accordance with the specialized skills of experienced television producers it is probable that great ef forts will be made to make this massive new intrusion of pol llics into the home less formal There will certainly be some at tempt to get away from the dull old formula of the radio ad dress and away from its first cousin the artificially folksy fireside chat We can hardly expect to see Diefenbaker in the role of the good sheriff shooiiug from the hip to wing bad man Douglas in the tried and repetiilte Wesl ern formula But we will cer tainly see considerable expen mentlng ape along the lines of our more popular mega azine programs or panel shows We will almost certainly suffer surfeit of diary or travel ogue programs of dismnuy uniroaginaiite type as mobile television cameras follow polit ical leaders or even local canlt didaies lh handshak ing and canvassing chores EFFECEVIJNPREDIUIABLE How much effect on the vet ers will this have Nobody can predict that The advocates of this new political medium and the salesmen of television time will suggest that it could swing the election This is unlikely However it is safe to make one prediction The massive and cosin use of television In bring political arguments into our homes will certainly have the beneficial result of increas ing political knowledge among our voters This in the opinion of some of the few straieglsis who have given thought to the mailer will have an enduring effect Between eleciioos as well as during elections there will be more alert and much better informed public rc action to our federal and our provincial poliilcs Docs this mean an end to tho nationwide political broadcasls as we now know them Not necessarily There will always be place for the skilled and persuasive performer such as for example Hon Paul Martin He was Canadas first political broadcaster on nationwide TV network in 1962 and the old maestro showed that he has lost none of his appeal and indeed has gained in knowybow He can be sincere constructive and very persuasive on the TV screen one of the most effec tive public figures in the coun try And that he was last week No matter how much the TV experis jazz up future political presentationsand they rightly willthere will always be placefor the Paul Martins REPORT FROM ILK Famous Bow Bells Ringing Out Again By liIcINTYEE HOOD Special London Euglandi Correspondent for The Barrie Examiner LONDON After oiler 22 years of silence the famous Bow Bells are ringing out again And children who are born within fhesound of these bells will once again be able to claim that they are true Cockneys For it is an ancient tradition started 450 years ago that only those who have had that dis tinction can be entitled to that appellation While he term Cockney was first used in 1521 by writer named Whitenion it was writer named John Minsheu who in 1617 gave the defini tion of Cockney as One born within the sound New Democratic Party leadership OneSided By non onnaniv TORONTOMore frank talk Douglas Fisher is federal MP for Port Arthur He is not the leader of the Ou tario New Democrch Party He probably never will be leader of the party Which in way is toobad For if Mr Fisher were or were to be provincial leader of his party one would take quite diffrent outlook towards it As it is one cant take it too seriously And the reason is its leader ship ONE SIDE This leadership is onesided Particularly onesided in that in forming its opinions and deals ions it seems to almost com pletely ignore the other side of questions And what question doesnt have another side Because of this some im maturity it is impractical It dreams Its theories as they have been presented here have been based on ideals without any spadework to back them up It is not only not willing to pa the price it is not willing to 3iace the fact there is price It will not acknowledge there must be stock to make soup And not acknowledging it wont consider where the stock must come from DOESNT KNOW If recollection is right it was at least four years ago that the old CCF brought down spe rifle program Heals In it there were certain finan cial proposalsto tax corpora tions weight distancetax etc The writer at the time asked what these would mean finan cially lie was told that this hadnt been worked out yet few weeks ago it still hadnt been worked out There was talk in the house here of taxing the huge profits of corpora tions But absolutely missing from it was any factor even any in dication that Lets had been con sidered in making the propo The observer has to conclude and it is conclusion that has been built up over the years that the NDP really doesnt know what it is talking about TWO SIDED Mr Fisher was picked here as NDPer who does seem to know what he is talking about He doesnt purple with indig nation Though yau may not agree with his conclusionsand sometimes you dothey at least usually appear to be weighted DUES He does not apparently look on any preaching any policy or any attitude as dogma In con trast to the many intellectuals in the NDP his is an intellec tual approach There are undoubtedly others such as he in the party ranks One day they may emerge as its leadership But it is doubt ful More likely they will emerge as Liberals their place of Bow Bells that is the City of London The Bow Bells were last within sounded in August of 1935 few days before the outbreak of the Second World War At that time government order was issued banning the ringing of church bells except to give warning of an enemy invasion The Bow Bells were hung in the Church of St MerrieBow In 1941 bombs hit the church reducing it to mere shell The bells were shattered to frag ments Now they have been restored along with the church and few days before Christ mas they were rung for the first time since the silence was imposed on them in August 1939 HAVE LONG HISTORY There is long history behind the Bow Bells For nearly 600 years the tenor bell has been as significant in the lives of Mndoners as the nine oclock chimes of Big Ben over the radio were for Britons through out the world In the 14th cen tury this bell used to ring at eight oclock every evening signalling the curfew hour of the Norman regime along with the Bells of All Hallows Bark ing St Bndes on Fleet SL St MarfiuleGrand and St Giles on the Cripplegaie Then from 1469 like the Big Ben broadcast centuries later it rang alone at nine oclock by order of the common coun cil to tell apprentices in the city that it was time to finish work In 1520 new and big ger bell was given to the church by church warden William Copeland it was cast and hung just in time to be rung for the first time at his funeral WAS HISTORIC THEN Even at that Lime St Mary leBow was one of the cityl most historic churches First built in the time of William the Conqueror it went through tempest death and murder be fore it was burned down in the Great Fire of 1566 Sir Christopher Wren rebuilt the church after the Great Fire and gave it one of Europes finest spires zzufoot needle of Portland stone It was the only upper part of the church to survwe the bombs of the Second World War The six bells of Bow which according to the old story rang outfTurn Again Whiitingtou perished in the great fire set of eight was cast in 1680 for the new church and in 1081 the number was made up to 12 Now the new bells have taken Experts say that their pitch is semitone hlgb er than that of the old ones But something that has been sadly nussing for over 22 years came back to life of old Lon don when they were rung for the first time few days ago
