'THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. South, Oshawa, Ont. Poge 6 Thursday, April 12, 1956 Do Russian Leaders Live In Atmosphere Of Terror? Premier Bulganin and First Secre- "tary Khrushchev of Russia, who are 'due to visit Britain at an early date, seem to live in terror of their lives wherever they may go. Not long ago, General Serov, head of the secret police of the Soviet Union, went to Brit. ain to check on the security arrange- ments being made for the safety of these two Russian leaders. Reports state that he wished to arrange for a bodyguard of 120 secret police to ac- company Bulganin and Khrushchev, This astonished the British authorities, who are not accustomed to the mass precautions taken to protect the lives of dictators. Finally, they agreed to 14 secret police coming along with the two Russians, and to make their own ar- rangements for security as well. These mass security precautions, which the Russians seem to feel neces- sary, are quite foreign to countries like Britain and Canada. There the top leaders of the nation can travel around quite freely and unescorted. When members of the royal family travel in these lands, no pretentious armed body- guard is considered necessary. One or two Scoland Yard men, in plain clothes, and remaining very much in the back- ground, are considered quite sufficient for these purposes in Britain. Nothing more is required for the great majority of distinguished foreign visitors to the country. ' This desire for a mass of protective bodyguards indicates two things. It in- dicates that the Russian leaders are ig- norant of the fact that the British peo- ple are law-abiding, that they are not anarchists or assassins, and that the fact that they are visiting Britain is in itself sufficient protection. It also indi cates that Russia's leaders have a strongly-developed fear complex, that they must be living constantly in an at- mosphere of terror which is quite un- known in the democratic world. That, we suppose, is one of the penalties they must pay for being dictators. Absolute rulers make many enemies, and they can never win love and affection such as the British people have for their rulers Giving The Public The Facts It is always good business for civic and other public bodies which are deal- ing with public funds to give the citi- zens of the community the full facts as to their operations, particularly in the financial field. There have been two in- stances of this recently in which Osh- awa organizations did this very thing. The Community Chest organization, af- ter its annual meeting, published a de- tailed financial statement which was very enlightening to the public. It gave them the exact facts regarding disposi- tion of the funds they have provided for Community Chest. The other day, the Oshawa General Hospital published a similar financial statement, This statement removed all the mystery from operation of the Osh- awa General Hospital, and told the citi ; séns of Oshawa exactly how it stood in its financing for 1955. We feel quite sure that this statement was apprecia- ted by the people of the community, who are entitled to know the full facts of hospital operation. The directors of the hospital are to be commended for making them fully available to the pub- lic. This is a practice which could, with advantage, be adopted by our city coun- cil and some of the other civic bodies which are heavy spenders of public money. The public, we imagine, would be very much interested in a full finan- cial statement on bodies like the board of education and the public utilities commission, to mention only two of them. They spend large amounts of money which come out of the pockets of the public, and we believe our ¢itizens would be very much interested in know- ing where their money goes. Political Party Contributions There is nothing new in the revelat- fons which have been made before a committee of the Manitoba legislature which is at present investigating the question of beer profits. The fact that the breweries made contributions to the funds of three political parties in the province is interesting, but things like this have happened on many oc- casions in the past. Evidence before the committee show- ed that three Manitoba breweries had contributed a total of $29,075 to three provincial political parties. The figures showed that the Liberals received $16,- 0580, the Conservatives $11,500 and the Social Credit party $525. The COF and Labor-Progressive parties apparently did not appeal to the brewers, because they received nothing. The brewery counsel who gave the figures also stat- ed that other contributions had been made in the municipal and federal political fields. Of course, it has always been a fact that business and industrial concerns Other Editors' Views THEN HE TOOK OVER (Windsor Star) Sir Winston Churchill's upcoming four vol- ume history of the English-speaking peoples closes with/the) end of the Victorian era.

Only in this way could the political parties build up the large-sized war chests necessary to fight election cam- paigns. But we submit that it is all wrong when the same people contribute to the funds of three different y-rties. Gifts of that kind are not given because of political convictions. While the brew- ery spokesman denied that the brew- ers had ever received favored treat- ment from parties or candidates as a result of political contributions, we venture to suggest that the contribu- tions are made in the hope that they will, Elections, as we have said, cannot be conducted without substantial funds behind the parties. But the public have a right to know who are the people contributing these funds and what in- terest they have in promoting the fort unes of one party or another. And this is particularly so when the same group is found putting two anchors out to windward by helping to finance three opposing parties.

McINTYRE HOOD In the House of Commons recent- ly, it was revealed that the gov- ernment of Canada is spending a sum of $885,000 to buy some paint- ings fror~ the Prince of Liechten- stein, Perhaps this does not re- present much money to the govan- ment of Canada. We can recall when the Hon. C. D. Howe, com- menting on some expenditure, re- marked "What's a million dollars." That sum of $885,000 might mea: a great deal to the Prince of Lie- chtenstein, who 'would doubtles be $lad to get rid of a few paintings or money of that kind. That sum of $885,000, too, could mean a great deal to the people of Oshawa, who have to help pay for these paintings. At the present taxable assessment of the city, it would mean 13 mills on the dollar. It is more than twice as much as the board of works has available for its 1956 works program. It would come fairly close to paying for the new collegiate institute to be built ir Harmony. So one could go on. As we have noted, the government may think this amount of money is Bt peanuts, but it looks quite differently to the ord- inary folks who have to pay l.cavy federal taxes to foot the bill. This Liechtenstein painting pur- chase, howvever, has another very different and important angle, It calls into question just what our goverment financed National Gal- c - is doing for the encourage- ment of Canadian artists. Wallace Nesbitt, member of Parliament for Oxford County, speaking in the house of commons, gave the an- swer to that question. It is not ve complimentary to the National Gal- lery. Since 1945, it has spent $1,- 495,193 in the purchase of paintings by other than Canadian artists, paintings produced in other coun- tries. In the same period of ten years, it has spent only $88,777 to acquire works by Canadian artists. e do not dispute the fact "hat there is some merit in having a re- presentative collection of some of We would su; that the National Gallery should have a national outlook and policy, and that for the most part it should purchase and exhipit the best work that our Canadian artists can produce. QUEBEC'S EXAMPLE In this respect, we would suggest that the National Gallery 'should follow what has been a long time policy of the government of Quebec regardless of which party was in power. That government has con- sistenly supported Quebec artists by purchasing their painings for public exhibition. We can recall, with pleasure, many visits to the Battlefields Park Museum in Que- bec city, a large part of which '3 devoted to the work of Quebec artists. The paintings shown there, owned by the Quebec government, are almost entirely the work of native sons of the province, of men like Horatio Walker and Clarence Gagnon, whom we were proud to have as personal friends while we lived down there. Year by year, Quebec govern- ments have added to this collec- tion of the work of the artists of the province, until, in our opinion, it is a far more representative show- ing of the work of Canadians than any other in the Dominion. It also shows that Canadian artists are the works of the old s in art. These might serve as an inspira- tich to Canadian artists. But our conception of the functions of a Na- tional Gallery is that it would en- courage and promote the develop- ment of the work of Canadian art- ists. Having the work of great artists of other lands on exhibition may be one kind of inspira'ion. We suggest, however, that encour- agement through the purchase of Canadian paintings would be much more inspiring to Canadian artists. of producing paintings that will live on in posterity, and that are worthy of being placed in any exhibition. So, instead of paying huge sums for specimens from the collec- tions of European Srincipalities, we feel the National Gallery, and that means the Canadian government, would bé rendering a greater serv- ice to Canada and Canadians by concentrating more on collecting outstanding works by artists of our own country.

RA 5-6541 FOR BETTER HEALTH Simple Hygiene Rules To Fight Skin Cancer By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD SINCE cancer of the skin is one of the most common forms of cancer, you should be acquainted with a few simple rules of skin hygiene which will help you guard against this menace. These rules are recommended by the American Cancer Society: 1. Men with moles or scaly patches on their faces should shave carefully to prevent injur- ing such areas of the skin. LIGHT COMPLEXION 2. Avoid continual over-expo- sure to the sun. This rule is es- pecially important if you have a lexion- Negroes seld develop skin cancer. 3. If you work outdoors a great deal, wear clothing and hats to rotect yourself from the sun. se ointments to prevent your skin from becoming cracked or Champion. #thickened. 4. If you work in an industry which utilizes materials suspected of being cancer - producing, be sure to wear clean gloves and avoid long use of sooty, greasy clothes. Precancerous lesions can be produced by prolonged expo- sure to pitch, coal tar, paraffin, certain kinds of lubricating ofls or arsenical compounds. 5. Workers in such industries should use plenty of soap and water each day to wash these irritating substances from the skin. 6. See your doctor frequently so he can check on any skin blem- ishes which might be subject to constant irritation or friction from clothing. Remember, moles on the soles of your feet or between your toes may easily be overlook- ed, but they are constantly being irritated. QUACK CURES 7. Don't treat yourself with any pastes, ointments or "'quack cures." Many persons become hopeless cancer victims simply be- cause they wasted time and mon- ey on quack remedies while their cancers progressed. Besides, self- treatment may alter the appear- ance of skin cancer and make it more difficult for your doctor to diagnose. QUESTION AND ANSWER S. J.
