THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. bage 6 Thursday, October 18, 1956 Time To Change Party Back To Old Time-Honorea Name With a change in leadership in the offing, and a convention having been called of the Progressive Conservative party, it seems to us that this should provide a splendid opportunity for that party to get rid of the cumbersome name with which it has been afflicted since 1942. In other words, it is time for the party to get back to the time- honored and honorable name under which it operated with such distinction for decades in the history of Canada. It is on record that the double- bar- relled name of Progressive Conserva- tive was adopted in 1942 as a matter of political expediency. In that year, the party was seeking a new leader. An approach was made to John Brack- en, former premier of Manitoba, and leader of the Progressive party of that province to accept the post. He agreed to do 50 on one condition, that the party name was changed to Progressive Con- servative. The convention at Winnipeg accepted this condition, and Mr. Brack- en became the party leader. Bilingualism In The vexed question of bilingualism has again been thrust on the Canadian public by the Ottawa Branch of the Protestant Women's Federation of Can- ada. This organization in a resolution, raised a protest against the use of French names on street signs, and claims that this is going beyond what is provided in the British North Amer- jca Act. Let us agree that there are definite limitations to the mandatory use of French as a second Canadian language in the constitution, as contained in the BNA Act. The provisions of Sections 188 and 184 of that act are quite restric- tive in their effect. The first section provides that either language may be used in debates in the Houses of the Parliament of Canada and the Legis- lature of Quebec, that both languages shall be used in the journals of these houses and their records, and that either language may be used in any court of Canada and in all the courts of Quebec. The second section provides that all acts of the parliamet of Canada and the Legislature of Quebec shall be This political expedient, however, did not change the party fortunes, and Mr. Bracken was unable to improve the party's position in the House of Com- mons when he led it in an election. He passed out of the picture, but the name he insisted on still remains. With a large body of Conservatives, the new name has never been popular. On occasions, in making speeches, Geo- rge A. Drew, the party leader, dropped the "Progressive" and used only the familiar and historic name of "Conser- vative". In Ontario riding, there has been outspoken criticism on more than one occasion about retaining the name after the reason for it ceased to exist. For its own good, the party should give serious consideration to dropping its double-barrelled nomenclature, and reverting to a name which it has every reason to be proud. The banners of Conservatism will wave just as highly in the winds of an election campaign without the prefix given to it in 1942. Canada printed and published in both lan- guages. That is as far as the Act goes. There is nothing in it which prescribes that French shall be an official lan- guage for any purpose other than those specified. It has to be recognized, however, that in certain communities even out- side the province of Quebec, French is the language of general usage. Thus by custom and precedent the use of French names has become common in such places. We see nothing wrong with that. In fact, we feel it only right that the names of outstanding French - Canad- ians should be honored by being best- owed on streets, just as the names of English-Canadians are honored. Canada is a country in which people of two great races live side by side. For the sake of Canadian unity, it is necessary to go beyond the strict letter of law in recognizing that fact. As we have said repeatedly in this column, it would be for the benefit of this country if the English-speaking provinces paid greater attention to bilingualism than they do. "No Lickin', No Larnin" The case of a young Oshawa school teacher who aroused the ire of parents by strapping 22 children for failure to do their home work has evoked a good deal of comment from newspapers all over Ontario. Their views have been quite varied. In some cases, sympathy has been expressed for the teacher who may have been over-zealous in his ef- forts to make his pupils carry out their homework assignments. One Ontario newspaper, for instance, comes along with the following comment, which we quote: "A young school teacher at Oshawa was reprimanded by his superiors for strapping 22 children of his class for not doing their homework. "There are those who will think shat perhaps the young fellow, new to his profession, and still not fully acquaint- ed with modern ways, should get some kind of award for endurance on ac- count of his ability to take on that number, one after (Another, to give Editorial Notes ) When you have worked hard and won success, it is a bit irritating to be told how lucky you have been.

"It is also to be presumed that hand- ling such numbers, there would be at least a little levelling-off, so that the punishment in individual cases would not be excessive. "There is also the possibility that it might do good. Maybe the children will respect the teacher more than if he had been content to let them go on in their own chosen ways.

Certainly proof can be offered that under its regime some fairly good men and women were developed without anyone being done to death.

MASSEY'S FIRST TERM (Hamilton Spectator) Mr. Massey's greatest gift during his term of office has been his encouragement of cul- ture and his emphasis on the importance of education, in an era of graphic entertainment Mr. Massey has repeatedly stressed, particu- larly for the youth of the country, the value of good reading and the rich treasure of wis- dom stored in the great literature of the past. His speeches on these subjects, distinguished for their sincerity and the beauty of their phraseology, merit comparison with the best of that other literary Governor General, Lord Tweedsmuir. COSTS LOT TO START FARMING (Simcoe Reformer) A young farmer starting today requires an original capital outlay of approximately $39,000. This amount is as great a capital expenditure as most small industrialists require.

God gets tired of tyrants and conquerors The Lord discomfitted Sisera.--Judges 4:15 stars in PROBLEMS OF TRAVELLING SALESMAN OTTAWA REPORT Inflation Battle Is Really Tough By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Correspondent to The Daily Times-Gazette OTTAWA -- Finance Minister Walter Harris is fighting a tough battle on behalf of every Canadian family's bread-winner. Spurred by aggressive trade un- fon leadership, and facilitated by weak industrial management, our cost of living is in the midst of one of its steepest--and certainly its least necessary--of post-war rises. Wage demands have sparked this. Management has meekly met the demands in most cases, and has at once passed on the cost--plus management's own profit margin thereon--to the buyer. Mr. Harris has inspired several steps to try to halt this inflation, which is robbing the thrifty and impoverishing the needy. But his steps are unfortunately not fully effective; mor are they without off- setting disadvantages: At 'the same time the govern- ment generally, and perhaps es- pecially Mr. Harris, must be de- riving a private pleasure from this inflation. For, although it betokens a rising cost of living, it does make the federal government's budget icture look rosy, albeit artific- ally. Our gross national product in the second quarter of this year wae 11 per cent higher than in the same period last year. This fig- ure is misleading: it is based on valuation at current, not at fixed, prices: In fact, the total product of all work in the nation was less than seven per cent higher this Spring than last Spring. The dif- ference of more than four per cent represents the higher prices at which the product was valued and at which the public must buy it. SHORT-CHANGED To you and me, that means that between mid-1955 and mid-1956, the average cost of everything we bought was four per cent higher. Therefore, we needed $1.04 this year to buy what cost us only $1 a year ago. Unless we had in the meanwhile received a wage in- crease of four per cent, plus in- come and excise taxes thereon, we have fallen behind in our standard of living during the year of Can- ada's greatest prosperity Looking further into the post, Messrs. Johnston, Everson and Charlesworth, Toronto public re- lations counsel, have this to say in the current edition of their ad- mirable monthly news letter, Printed Word. % Tae "Anyone with a dollar would have good reason to be indignant if he were short-changed out of 16 cents. Yet the truth is that $100 in 1949 is worth only $84 today. In these past few years of Canada's greatest boom, the individual has been short-changed $16 out of the $100 be banked in 1949." Or, in addition to "banked," one could use the phrase "'invested in government bonds." Yet today, the government is peddling yet an- other issue of its bonds. If you in- vest $100 in these government of Canada bonds today, will you be short-changed $16 over the next seven years? On the strength of its advertis- ing for these bonds, the 'govern- ment may well be wide open to a low-suit for misrepresentation. The Letter - Review, published weekly by another Mr. Johnston-- this one in Fort Erie--touches on this same subject in its current issue. "The notion that a little infla- tion is a 'good thing, a notion so fashionable in economic circles a few years ago, is going out of style. Economists are now coming to see what most businessmen have long recognized -- that the evils arising from inflation out- weigh the possible advantages. The chief of these evils is the de- struction of confidence in fixed-in- terest bearing investments, and fi- nally in money itself." Quite true, Mr, Johston. My confidence in the government's fixed-interest bearing bonds has been destroyed. That is why I do not, and will not, buy them. might just as well sit down and light cigarettes with dollar bills, up to a value of four per cent of my savings. In fact, if I were to buy government bonds, I would expect my wife to send me to a doctor to have my head examined. I believe that Finance Minister Harris is genuine in his attempts to curb this disastrous situation. But I ask myself, why does he not make the federal government fellow its own advice to you and me to curb our expenditure this year? Instead, the federal govern- ment, not hit by the credit re- straint which is plaguing every person in business everywhere, is currently engaged in ils greatest MAC'S MUSINGS Even in the darkest Moments of world history When it seemed as if The lights had gone out From human hearts, it is Notable that man's spirit And his longing for freedom Had remained unconquered And that the human urge For liberty still lives.

McINTYRE HOOD Rotary International has pro- duced a very interesting score sheet by which it asks its mem- bers to measure their status as a citizen. We saw a copy of this the other day, after it had been h d out to bers of the Oshawa Club, and we found it quite intriguing, It at least sets some standards) by which men and women can analyze the qual- ity of their cifizenship in their community and their country. This score card consists of 10 statements. Each of these is con- sidered as setting forth an attri- bute of good citizenship. Those who receive this card are asked to allow themselves points from one to 10 for each statement, ac. cording to -their own estimate on how they measure up to the standard. From the total points they allot themselves, they de- cide what percentage of good citizenship they represent. THE 10 POINTS Here are the ten polnis by which our people can messurs their own citizenship, showing the ten attributes considered: 1. He is well-informed on world and local affairs. 2. He is courteous, unselfish, friendly, gets along well with others and is a good neighbor. 3 He is sincere, dependable and takes an active part in the church or religious community of his choice. 4. He appreciates what others have done for him, and accepts responsibility for the future bet terment of his community. 5. He is fair and just in his relations to others. . He obeys the laws of his cornmunity and nation. 7. He votes regularly and in- telligently at election time. 8. He is interested in the free- dom and welfare of all world's peoples and does his part to secure them. 9. He is productive, and rem- ders a worth-while service to his fellow-men. 10. He sets a good example fo the youth of his community. There are the ten points. See give yourself by marking each point from one to 10 and adding up the total. While on this subject of citizen- ship. it might be worth while to Jook at what President Eisen hower had to say about it in a recent address. He sets forth his ideas of what citizenship involves for the individual in the following words: "Your citizenship is man things--a heritage of great tradi tion and mighty achievements; a future that is bright with promised of ever-increasing reward for human effort. "Your citizenship is a respon- sibolity, too; a responsibility to preserve unspoiled the sound and good and noble in your heritage; a responsibility to use the rights and opportunities for your own | and betterment and your families your communities; a responsibil- ity never to be content with what is now satisfactory and always | to work for a better.

Tuberculosis Among Eskimos Gradually Being Conquered By DON PEACOCK Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA CP) -- A medical team has returned from weary days and nights of treating Es- kimos in isolated regions of the eastern Arctic with evidence that the battle against tuberculosis among the northern natives is be- ing won. Much credit for the downward trend apparent in this summer's x-ray survey of the Eskimos goes to a system of developing film on the spot, then sending stricken natives out immediately to sana- toria for treatment. This was in- augurated last year. Dr. I. F. Kennedy, who headed the health department team aboard the northern patrol ship C. D. Howe during the last half of its three-month trip, said some 2,000 Eskimos were examined on the 8,000-mile journey. He had not studied their med- ical records in detail yet, but it was apparent the incidence of TB had declined to something under five pér cent. Last year about 2. 500 Eskimos were examined and showed an incidence of about eight per cent WILLING TO TRAVEL He said the inroad into' the number of TB cases among the Eskimos apparently resulis from the fact that those with the dis- ease now are removed at once About 70 eskimos sent out treatment in. hospitals n Manads "his vear cam. for Seashls ame jared to almost 200 last year, Dr. ennedy said. When an Eskimo was found to be suffering from TB or, infre- quntly, some other ailment that could not be treated on the scene, it was the doctor's job to persuade him to come south for treatment. Dr. Kennedy said three plane- loads of Eskimos brought out last vear for such treatment were flown back this summer, The fact they had already returned had be- come known in many areas and this knowledge made it easier for the Eskimos to accept the nec- essity of leaving their homes and families. "They are sensible people," he said. "Once they understood the need for outside treatment, they accepted the fact and often made arrangements to leave within 15 or 20 minutes." GENERAL CHECK Dr. Kennedy noted that while Eskimos seem more prone to get TB than cther Canadians, they al- most never turn up with cancer or heart disease. And in all the camps and villages he visited this summer, he had.found the Eski- mos generally healthy and well- fed The doctors examined the Fski- mos for other ailments as well as I'B. Dr. Kennedy said each native was inoculated for immunization against diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, smallpox and polio. They were given second shots of polio vaccine, having got the first last summer If their teatb needed filling or pulling, it was done on the spot. And it might be noon or midnight. Dr. Kennedy said that with the season so short, the examinations were carried out whenever the ship reached an eskimo settle- ment or gathering along the shore, This is not so much a problem in the far north, where it is day- light all summer. But in southern sections, except for moonlit nights there were difficulties. At Fort Chimo, in northern Quebec on Un- gava Bay, for example, the tide is the highest in the world, rising 60 feet from its lowest point, Dr, Kennedy said. 1 There were times when the tide came in before examinations could be completed and the party had to spend the rest of the night shivering on shore. On other oc- casions, when it was not possible to have the Eskimos gathered to- gether beforehand, Dr. Kennedy and the interpreter--Elijah Min- arik from Moose Factory on Hud- son Bay----were flown over the area in a helicopter from the C. D. Howe "Then we would send the Eski- mcs we found back to the ship by helicopter." He said it was quite an experience at times looking for Eskimos in the northern wastes by moonlight. It was even worse' on nights when the moon didn't shine. Dr. Kennedy, a native of Cum- berland, Ont., said whenever tides and shore conditions allowed it, the Eskimos were taken ahoard the C. D. Howe and examined there. Otherwise, the medical per- sonnel went ashore in barges with portable equipment, including fa- cilities to develop the TB x-rays on the spot. There were three doctors, a dentist, an x-ray technician, an Eskimo girl nurse's aide and #e Eskimo Bay interpreter in the party throughout the trip, al- though medical personnel changed every month or so. Dr. H. B. Sabean of Halifax stayed on the whole trip. So did Dr. Harry Conway of Brantford, Ont., a dentist at Lady Willing- don Indian Hospital at Ohsweken. Ont., and the x-ray technician, Fred Woodhouse, from the same hospital.

And you may be one of those who don't cooperate. We know the cause »f this once dreaded disease and we know the cwe. But locating affected per- sons and placing them under medical care is quite another matted. CAUSE OF TB TB is caused by a germ---the tubercale bacillus--which invades the system slowly and destroys the tissue. Once the germ is in- side the body, it may remain quiet for a long time and cause little if any trouble. If you are in good general health and not too many germs have invaded your body, your good condition will help prevent the bacilli from growing and spreading. Usually, however, the disease attacks a person whose body re- sistance is low, a condition brought on by inadequate food, late hours and not enough rest. LIVING HABITS If we can detect this TB germ early enough, the victim may have to alter his living habits only slightly. He'll just have to take things a bit easier, get more rest and do whatever his doctor prescribes. A case of advanced tubercu- losis, however, may be fatal. The least you can expect in such a sit- uation is several months recuper- ation in a sanitorium. TB is not confined soley to the lungs, despite popular belief that it is. The disease also may attack the glands, skin, eyes, bones and coverings of the brain. Since there may not be any no- ticeable symptoms of TB at the outset, a person may have the disease for quite a while without even knowing it. By the simple means of a chest X-ray and a tuberculin test you VY Lat C4 BRASS0 can find out whether yau are free rom TB. FREE X-RAYS . In many of our cities, X-rays % are offered free to anyone who * will spend the minute or two it requires to take them. It seems like a small price to pay. #4 An annual physical check-up, including a chest X-ray, is the = best way to make sure that you do not have TB. Cooperate - with your local health officials.
