------- a - Amese Brom m @ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Thursday, January 13, 1958 ditorials by Times-Gasette Publishers Limited The Delly Times-Uazette 57"Simese Street Bouin, Osawa, Ontario Eisenhower's Tariff Plans Might Be Helpful To Canada The request made by President Eisen- hower for power to make cuts in tariffs against the products of other countries, in a special mesage to Congress, is of particular interest to Canada. This coun- try, to a greater extent than any other, 'stands to gain much from a modification of United States tariffs. The United States is a logical market for Canadian goods, if they are permitted to gnter that eountry on a basis which would enable them to compete with domestic products. It will be most interesting to watch the course of events in the handling of the president's address by Congress. Last year, Eisenhower asked for a three- year extension of the legislation which gives him the power to reduce tariffs. The Republican majority in Congress re- fused this request, and gave an extension for only one year. Thus the matter is again up for decision. It remains to be seen whether he will have any greater success with a Congress ruled by a Dem- ocratic majority than he had with his own party. What is even more important, how- ever, than reduced tariffs is the presi- dent's request for legislation which would simplify customs procedures. exporters have long complained bitterly about the obstacles placed in their way by United States customs regulations and officials, These have been even more ef- fective than tariffs in keeping Canadian goods out of the United States. In his message to Congress, Eisen hower stressed the need for trade policies which would help to strengthen the economic structure of the free world. He very wisely pointed out that this would be very much to the benefit of the United States. That is true, but his chief diffi- culty will be to persuade a majority of the members of Congress that in helping others to sell goods to the United States, they will be helping themselves. Toll Highways To Be Studied The government of Quebec is planning . {0 set up a committee of experts to find out if it is feasible to establish a system of toll roads in that province. The Quebec legislature is to be asked to pass a meas- ure giving the government power to appoint such a body, and to have it report to the government on financial aspects of such a plan. For a province like Quebec, which has had a long history of toll bridges and ferries along its highway systems, it should not be a difficult matter to com- pile information on the value of toll roads from the standpoint of highway financ- ing. Its authorities have had plenty of experience with tolls over a long period of years. There is a growing feeling, not only in Quebec, but in this province of On- tario, that we should follow the example of the United States in financing the building of controlled access through highways by means of tolls. It is gener- ally accepted south of the border, and Canadians who travel in the United States do not find it objectionable. Perhaps it might be a good idea if the Ontario government were to follow the lead of that of Quebec, and- to appoint a committee of experts to make a similar study in this province. It could at least report on which sections of the province might be well served by toll highways of a high standard of construction. This would provide a quick means of augment- ing the highway systém of the province. Public opinion is showing a trend in favor of such a project. But until it has crystallized sufficiently to impress the government's answer is likely to be that while such a scheme might be economical- ly feasible, it might not be politically prudent. Changing The Election Act .An interesting amendment to the dominion Elections Act has been present- ed to parliament by Rev. Dan Meclvor, Liberal MP for Fort William. His amend. ment would allow all qualified voters absent from their homes on election day to cast ballots at advance polls. That is good as far as it goes, but it still does not take care of the franchise rights of another fairly substantial group of citizens on whose behalf we have prev- jously written in these columns. These are the thousands of people across Canada who, by reason of illness or accident, are confined in the hospitals of Canada on the day of the election. Unless they are able fo leave the hospital and go to their home polling station on election day, they are disfranchised. It is decidedly undemocratic that peo- ple in hospital should be deprived of the right to vote simply because of that fact.

DAILY AVERAGE NET PAID CIRCULATION FOR DECEMBER 12,464 As we have suggested on previous occa- sions, it would be very simple to have a deputy-returning officer named to act in a polling station provided somewhere within the hospital. Those able to walk to the polling station could do so, while those unable to leave their rooms could be visit- ed in the course of the day by this special DRO and allowed to vote. The machinery is quite simple, if the will to apply it"were present, We believe that in amending the elec- tion acts, both provincial and federal, consideration should be given to patients in hospitals. Indeed, one might go further and advocate that the British system of allowing people bedridden or invalids in their homes be allowed to vote by mail, a system 'applied very simply in Britain. These suggestions are commended to the attention of our legislators who deal with such matters. Bit Of Verse LIFE Youth--with its hopes and dream Childhood--and play.

By a a this figure al. moR exactly matches the $5,283,000 surplus accumulated b; the Cana- dian Broadcasting Corporation's television system in its past fiscal ar. If this comparison does not em- phasise the different size of the television entertainment industyy in e fw countries, here are some which jake that ut crystal clear, The C nounces that it paid $1,800,000 for TV talent last year, and a further $3,246,000 to actors and musicians on sound broadcast programs. So the five million dollar raise, paid to just one TV star by one of the "three big Am eric an networks, would just about cover the C.B.C's whole talent bill for both video and audeo programs.

BUNDSEN, MD Just because % hg look pale, does not necessarily mean you're suffering from anemia, 'But it might mean that. In anemia, you see, the red blood cells and the amount of col- oring in the blood decrease, In severe cases, the number of red cells may drop to one million per cubic millimeter of blood instead of the normal five million. In other cases, the number of red cells is only moderately re- duced, but each cell functions well below its normal strength. CAUSES. OF ANEMIA There are three causes of ane- mia: loss of blood from hemor- rhage; Increased destruction of blood; and deficient blood forma- tion. Sometimes you may bothered by more than one of these factors. wale are several pes of the most Ln usually coming as a result of other direases. For example, tion, tumors, tapeworms and dis- eases of the kidney or liver may be accompanied by the reduction of hemoglobin, or coloring in the Maybe there is Bleeding in the stomach or bowel, IMPROPER DIET An improper diet, especially if ou don't get enough iron-contain- g foods, can also cause anemia, different prolonged infec. If you don't Ju enough fron in your foods, or if some condition in your body interferes with the wb- sorption of that iron, your red cells may contain less than the normal coloring matter and become re- duced in size. Before your doctor can do much to help you, he's got to determine just what is causing your anemia and then eliminate that condition. Then he can help you build up your iron supply. He probably will give ou special 'preparations containing i on ich you can take after your meals You'll probably have to take these doses for three to four months, because you not only have to correct your iron deficiency, but you also must store away an extra be supply. Excessive doses, however, won't do any good and they might even | upset your stomach and bow- If your doctor thinks you should have a special diet, he'll give you one. Generally, though, an ane- mic's diet should contain a good deal of animal food such as beef, mutton or chicken, Meat contains from fo to eight times more iron than rice and other starchy foods. Spinach also has a high iron con- tent. So do apples and oats. It you've got the common kind of anemia, hai 'll probably improve by takin ag if .
