11 arrir Ex Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Hayfield Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher Brian Sleight General Manager WEDNESDAY MARCH 1962 Pan Cancer Sufferers Find New Hope In Improved Treatment During 1960 the last year forrwhich there are com leie figures 28181 Can adians died cancer This was 2313 more than died from the disease in 1956 and allowing for the increase in popula tion it indicates that the cancer death rate remains about the same So cancer is still the second cause of death in Can ada and still one of our most serious and baffling health problems It has been calculated that about twice as many persons develop cancer each year as die of the disease many arecured by radiation or surgery or combination of both Although the scien tific fight against cancer is the greatest single project in medical history the cause or causes of cancer are not yet known While it is felt unlikely that one vaccine or other device will ever be found which might be considered cure for cancer cancer specialists generally be Iieve that cancer will eventually be brought under control Iddeed there has been in Canada rising rate of fiveyear survivals the term usually preferred by cancer spe cialists to cures since there is always the possibility of recurrence due part ly to improved techniques of diagnosis and treatment partly to public education which emphasizes the importance ofvear ly treatment In recent years it has been possible to speak of the prevention of cancer dir ectly by the avoidance of overexposure to sunlight and indirectly by maintaining one maximum health and by regular physical examinations It is because early diagnosis and treat ment are so vital to the control of cancer that the Canadian Medical Association first advocated the establishment of lay volunteer organization to help fight cancer The result was the Canadian Cancer Society which was established with na tional charter in 1938 Today it has div isions in all 10 provinces and active units in more than 2000 communities To Change Power Policy Canadian governments Conservative and Liberal have been traditionally op posed to the export of electrical power But times change along with energy sources and supplies Now substantial and important body of opinion is develop ing opposition to the traditional policy par cularly as it effects the use of hydro electric sources in British Columbia It is possible that it Justice Minister Fulton were not so deeply embroiled in argument with BC Premier Bennett over the proposed development of the Colum bia River and if federal election were notimminent the federal government might change its mind about power ex ports Hugh Keenleyside chairman of the 30 Power Commission recently had this comment How can any rational obser ver accept the logic of national energy policy that permits the sale abroad four nomremwable resources of oil gas coal and wool but will not permit the temp orary sale of the product of our perpet ual resource of water power The ex treme example of this economic eccentri city is the argument that it is appropriate to lot the Columbia water run at waste into the US and thence to the sea but that it is somehow immoral or unpatriotlc or lmprovident to control and sell that Kaiser to the US at most handsome pro Another man in the expert category Herbert Smith resident of Canadian General Electric so sees many advant ages from the export of ower with ap propriate safeguards Income earn ed would improve Canadas balance of payments costs to Canadian consumers would probably be lowered more jobs would be created These are just two voices favoring change of policy But there is no chance at changebefore the next federal elec on Other Editors Views SUGAR SHORTAGE iN CUBA Windsor Star Cuba out off from so many supplies it normally obtained from the US has run into some anticipated shortages But who ever would have expected the island to be short of its own principal product sugar It is just as If Canada were to have shortage of wheat for its own needs When the US ceased buying Cu ban sugar it expected to destroy the Cu baneconomy But the Communists came to Castros rescue and bought sugar in huge amounts Through some miscalcula tron Cuba now hasnt enough for her self It would appear that one of the most glaring miscalculations was by the US which thought Cuba couldnt sell the sugar COLONEL GLENNS FUTURE Chicago Daily News colonel Glenn has shown qualifications that could take him just about anywhere he wants to go As of now he couldbe elected to almost any post he desired andiprivate industry would bid fantastic sums for his services Whatever lies ahead we hope the final decisions are leftjto Glenn And if they are we are betting that the extraordinary combinat ions of courage and common sense he hasshown thus far will prevail over therefforts that will doubtless be made to exploit him HOLDING PRICES Windsor Daily Star The French are

continent even without any price controls Let each item have the manufacturers wholesale and retail prices stamped on them Then people would see for themselves if there were anything out of line along the chan nels of trade It would be check on any effort to profit exorbitantly ON OTHERS COAT TAILS Winnipeg Free Press The best that can yet be said for the governments approach to freer trade is that it is policy of waitandsee or let JackandHarolddoit Ottawa seems determined not to initiate any moves in this direction but rather to let other people do the hard work and then ride along on their coat tails cashing in on benefits which Canada has not earned This is hardly commendable attitude for one of the worlds largest trading nations ALL FROM TAXES St Catharines Standard Canadians in general need to be re minded that the cost of the old age pen aion comes from their pocketbooks To provide the $55 month paid at age 70 cost the lpublic last year $603 million paid into pension fund Everyone who earns and spends pays into the fund though the only ayment that can be Identified is the ee per cent tax on personal income Consumer taxes pay nearly twothird of the pensiona cost So it is probably not unreasonable to assume that on the average the individual who pays the $90 income tax maximum pays another $150 year into the pension ac count through hidden taxes SACRED RITE Owen

OUT OF THE WEST TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH Thomas Collar Helpsé To Believe Pains By JOSEPH MOLNER MJJ Dear Dr Molnar What the principle of Thomas collar for treating crushed disc of the neck How does this relieve pain In both arms How must It be worn We have to start with un derstnndlng that pnInor any other sensationIa not felt until the impulses reach the brain If we burn finger we know It only when ends of the nerves damaged by the burn have sent their outraged signals to the brain The pain tracts are in the spinal cord the nerves to the extremities emerging from the cord The point at which they emergo is important for they mustpass between the bones of the spine Lets say that one of Ihe discs between these bones Is damaged with the result that nervcis pinched at that point The pinched nerve sends Its pain rsponse to the brain but to us it may seem to be pain in the arm The Thomas collar acts es sentially as splint It limits motion of the spine in the re gion of the neck It relieves or prevents uscla spasm and it holds the vertebrae or bones of the neck apart just enough to prevent irritation or pinching of the nerve at the damaged point Thats why the collar can re lieve pain In both arms The length of time the collar must be worn is quite variable depending on the raverity of pain without it the relief ai forded by wearing it and some times other technical factors Dear Dr Molner My wife has an abnormal focus of ac tivity in one of the temporal lobes of her brain Is there medicine that can cure this Or would you advise on operation presume that this condition was discovered by means of an electro encephalogrnm or brain wave tes And the test certainly was performed for good reason But you didnt tell me any of the symptoms that Impelled tho test so Im In the dark However this sort of finding does not necessarily imply that surgery Is needed or Is advis able Often one of the antIcon vulsant medications which can be taken Indefinitely will con trol the difficulty cant have any more specific an opinion than that But since she has had thb test she obviously will re ceive advice on treatment from highlyskilled physician for it takes specialist to give the brain wave test In the first place Dear Dr Molner know syphilis Is venereal disease that Is contoglous How can woman know she has it What are the signs Is there any cure WORRIED MISS Its better not to get It than to cure It afterward bu you know that so wont lecture you Syphilis has three stages First the primary sore some times but not always located where the Infection starts In women this may not be noticed since the sore ls painless Sec ond some weeks later there are fever and rash These in turn disappear as rule and the third stage may come soon or may not be for several years That Is the stage in which the disease is known as the real imitntm and it can cause or intensify all san of serious con ditions including paralysis and mental deterioration If theres any question as to whether one has contracted syphilis blood test and in some instances spinal fluid lest will give the answer Treatment is usually successful if given early in the late stages cure is more difficult and In any event It cannot overcome the serious damage that may have been done REPORT FROM 11x British Automotive Industry Running Full Gear Again By McINTYRE HOOD London England Correspondent For The

Ido not know the reason for his ex cluslon but It was at that point when he decided that all the ills of this countryand there are manywore exclusively the fault of the Liberals reader In Orlllia wrote to me here Dear Sir thankryou for your wonderful column We follow it with admiration In No Damage Done Bills PassDebate By DON OHEARN TORONTOTho governments programs on housing and economic development went through house debate without any real damage being done to them The Toronto Telegram that old Tory trying to fit into modern world has we note In belled them the Macaulay pro grams That is label which wont be accepted or used here It may he deserved in that the personal drive and imagination of Economics Minister Robert Macaulay are very largely re spunalble for the programs But aside from the fact that we dont think Mr Macaulay would particularly likr the reflection against Premier Ro barts Implied in this labelling programs which are so named in this day and age tend to end up as mainly name and little else And you can say for sure that this wont happen to the current projects CANT PREDICT Just precisely what will happen to them you cant predict They are very broad and they are still in infancy But they will go SOME WHERE And they could go very far They represent construcdva approach and they cant help but contribute something The oppusltlon recognized this partially in words but mainly in attitude The only concrete criticism of any importance it produced in fact was the claim that the ac tion was very late In this it is right When you view what mlgbt have been done In both economic develomeHt and housing with some foresight few years ago you feel the same frustration the opposition does Particularly when you recall civil servants who tried to prod the government Into effort But thenMessrs Roberts and Macaulay were members of that government but they were pot THE government They had little If any influ ence on policy And realistically they do not deserve to be sad dled too heavily with the short comings of the Frost adminis tration whatever they may turn out to be The Roberts administration has to partly stand or fall on the Frost record

Liberal conventionone of the most disappointing and dis appointed rallies In Ottawa since the war was so glad to read the Llhernls apology to you about that Please keep your column rolling in the Orif lia Packet and Timca Sincerely Lily Page There are several pungent conclusions to be drawnfrom these communications First that Dr Rynurd MP is regarded as highly by his con stituents of all parties as he is here In Ottawa Second that favorable com ment on newspaper mans writing Is generally hidden un der the proverbial bushel by being sent to hIrn whereas the crack Ia sent to the newspaper where It Is printed for all to read In full CONFUBE DATES Third there is some confusion in Port Arlhur as to the date when the Liberals ceased to be in powor In Ottawa This was In June 1957 or four months be
