Ne Et ZT A ---------------- pr ------ ne THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S. Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Thursday, December 19, 1957 United Nations Conclude Almost Pruitless Session The 12th General Assembly session of the United Nations Organization has closed with no action being taken on the most pressing of all the proh- lems to come before it--that of disar- f£ mament. The president of the Assem- bly, Sir Leslie Munro of New Zealand, expréssed disappointment in his re- marks closing the session, when he said: "Progress on disarmament must be judg- ed 4s falling far short of what the world expects from our organization. I believe, it more than ever essential that we should grapple with this menace of great arma- ments. I believe that we should seek, re- solutely and without Jelay, to break the nuclear stalemate, to end this co-existence of fear. It must be our constant endeavor to widen the margin between safety and deadly peril." Now that it is over, the 12th meet- ing of the General Assembly has very little to .show for its three months' long session. It did, over the objections of the Soviet Union and its satellites, vote for a new disarmament commis- sion of 25 members. But the useful- ness of that was negatived when Rus- sia and the countries under its 'control intimated that they would boycott the new commission. That in itself would render it quite ineffective. The greatest constructive achieve- ment of the General Assembly was the manner in which it was able to cool down the heated situation in the Near East. When it opened, there was serie ous danger of an armed clash between Syria and Turkey. Had that occurred, other nations would have been involv. ed. The debate in the general assem- bly, however, was a splendid example of a cooling down process, and the dan- ger passed over. That in itself was a worthy achievement in the face of the threat which was posed to the general peace of the world. Once again, the General Assembly has been more or less of a sounding block for propaganda. That has come to be expected. But mere words, unless they ar® followed by action, can never solve the problems which confront the world today. Prospects For An Arena It is noteworthy that in municipal elections held th'~ month, the little town of Geraldton, in Northern Ontar- io, had a vote of the taxpayers on a proposal for the building of a new community arena. The proposal was that a vote of $100,000 be made from the civic treasury towards the erec- tion of an agena in the town. Geraldton is a community of only some two to three thousand 'people. For a town of its size, $100,000 is a lot of money to spend on any kind of a project. Yet the ratepayers of that town voted by 262 to 60 in favor of the town spending $100,000 for the building of an arena. The inference in this need hardly be cited. If a small town like Geraldton has the 'courage and initiative to vote favorably on an arena project of that dimensions, there should be little diffi- eulty in securing support for a project of proportionate dimensions in Osh- awa. It seems to us that this is the eru- OTTAWA REPORT cial year for an arena project to be developed in this city. Most of the can- didates who are to be aldermen, and the mayor-elect, for 1958 have ex- pressed themselves as being in accord with an arena and community centre, or agricultural centre project. There is a splendid opportunity to secure pro- vincial and federal government parti- cipation on a large scale if this can be done in co-operation with the South Ontario Agricultural Society. A month or so ago, a representative gathering of citizens voted unanimous- ly in favor of a committee being estab- lished to investigate the matter fully. This should be one of the first mat. ters tackled when the 1958 city coun- cil takes office. It should put machin- ery in motion to make this committee effective, and have all matters per- taining to the proposed agricultural centre and arena given full investiga- tion and consideration. Plenty Of Time For Sport A peculiar, and not altogether com- mendable, situation has arisen in Parry Sound as a result of the vote last week on whether commercialized sport should be permitted in the town on Sundays. The voters of the town re- jected the idea of Sunday sport by a convincing majority of 1027 to 654. It was obvious that the great majority wished to keep their Sundays free of such activities. As a direct result of the adverse vote, the executive of the town's Junior "C" hockey club has decided to suspend the team's activities for the season. It was claimed that they could not ope- rate a team successfully without Sun- day' games. Sport has descended to a rather low level when it is dependent on a Sunday "gate" in order to operate amateur hockey teams. It is our exper- jence that a hockey club that is worthy of and is securing good public support can play its games any night in the " lv surely Editorial Notes The trombane player is the exception to the rule that it doesn't pay to let things slide.

If a team does not have that full public support, it does not make much difference to the gate on what day the games are played. An executive member of the hock- ey club is reported as saying: "I feel that those responsible for "No" vote are morally obligated now to do some- thing for the youth of Parry Sound." No doubt this hockey executive was speaking out of sad disappointment. But surely six days of the week are sufficient in which to do something for the youth of Parry Sound. And af- ter all, the membership of a hockey team is restricted to the number of hoys who can play on it. The voters of Parry Sound, like those of Oshawa, are firmly opposed to commercialized - sport on Sunday. How much better it would have been had the junior hockey club executive accepted the people's decision. with good grace and decided to carry on.

But to 75-year- old Louis St. Laurent, Friday, Dec. 13 of this year will prob- ably remain vivid as the day on which all political parties most generously recognised his great- est act of statesmanship. St. Laurent started it' all, in every sense. On that day in Par- llament, he rose to wish '"'bon voyage" and the desired conclu- sions to Prime Minister Diefen- baker, and to his cabinet col- leagues joining with him at the Paris conference. On another day about 10 years ago, Mr. St Laurent, at that time secretary of state for external affairs, had risen at the General Assembly of the United Nations to propose the formation of the regional alliance which has since come into being as the North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganization. ALL-PARTY GOOD WISHES Last Friday, Mr. St. Laurent's words were applauded till the rafters raus vith clapping and desk - thumping, when he de- clared: "] can assure the Prime Min- ister and his colleagues that these good wishes are very sincere, and I have no doubt that they are shared by every member. of this house regardless of party af- filiations, and generally by the people of Canada. These personal wishes come from the esteem and friendship which the members of this house have for the prime minister." MPs of aii parties again gave a one of those unusual concerts of applause when Mr. St. Laurent went on to express his belief that the Canadian delegation enjoyed unanimous support from ali over Canada in its efforts at this ex- traordinary meeting to strengthen NATO and further the cause of peace. In accordance with the accepted practice, the leaders of all other political parties represented in the House of Commons also spoke on behalf of their supporters and themselves. Mr. Coldwell for the CCF and Mr. Low for the Social Crediters both joined their wishes; Prime Minister Diefen- baker acknowledged them and ex- pressed his thanks. TRIBUTE TO ST. LAURENT Mr. Coldwell was the first to remind the House that Mr. St. Laurent was the father of the North Atlantic Treaty. "That treaty, I remember well," said Mr. Coldwell, "was the first suggested at the United Nations by the Leader of the Op- position." \ And Mr. Diefen rged on the tribute with ords: "That reference to théL.eader of the Opposition brought to me a feeling of pride as a Canadian that the idea and concept should have been first introduced at an international meeting by one of those within this Parliament who still occupies a high position in the deliberations of our country." Then again hands were clapped, desks were thumped and desk lids were banged by MPs of all par- ties. They were not applauding the prime minister; they were paying their tribute as Cana- dians, regardless of party, to the tired old man, slumped in his chair, whose supreme moment of statesmanship was when he made that significant proposal at the United Nations. Whatever disagreements there are between the four federal par- ties on other subjects, that occas- sion left no doubt that they are all agreed on a foreign policy aimed at attaining, in the words of Mr. St. Laurent, "peace in the world to men of good will." FOR BETTER HEALTH Gangrene Patients Helped By Walking HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Walking may help heal gan- grene Generally, a person who has gangrene in the legs and feet is promptly put to bed and caution- ed sgainst walking Now, however, a New York City doctor reports that walking actu- ally appears to aid healing and to speed recovery of such patients. And he has 2: patients to suppport his theory. EXERCISE HELPFUL Dr. William T, Foley of the New York Hospital-Cornell Medi- cal Centre, suggests that exercise will stimulate - collateral blood flow, avert muscle wastage and prevent atrophy of the involved tissues. If the tos: are involved, he says, the patient is encouraged to hobble on his heel. If that also is involved, the foot is ban- daged and the weight-bearing is distributed over the entire foot. ADVISED TO WALK Dr, Foley advised 22 of his pa- tients to walk while they were under treatment for gangrene. One patient did not do so after returning home and, eventually, his leg had to be amputated. The other 21 did as instructed. Concerning their progress, Dr. Foley wrote in a recent issue of Circulation, ""The introduction of walking has not hindered healing and improvement, but appears to have aided it." in addition to A its 2jereat walking makes it a lot easier to care for a alent, is able to walk to the bath- room and to attend to his per- sonal needs, In fact, some pa- tients are able to return to work while still under treatment. ADDITIONAL HELPS During treatment for gangrene, whether or not a doctor pre- scribes the walking technique, re- flex heat, bandages. antimicrob- al ointments and use of an oscil lating bed also probably will be helpful. One more thing. I advise any- one suffering gagnrene to give up smoking. It's better to give up tobacco than to give up a leg. QUESTION AND ANSWER C. V.

Answer: If you and the girl are not related, and if there is no other case of this disorder In either family, the likelihood of your: children being deafmutes is very slight. TRAGIC PRANK 1 OYSTER BAY, N.Y. (AP) -- Physicians report that a 10-year- old boy who detonated a blasting cap in school science class be- hind the teacher's back may lose two fingers. Vincent - Vaughn brought the blasting cap to class Monday. Classmates said that while the boy held the detonator in his right hand, he touched its trailing wires to a battery and a severs explosion shook the room. MAC'S MUSINGS We are quite thrilled by The project which has Been sponsored by The Times-Gazette, for the Holding of a mass singing Of "The Messiah" in St. Andrew's Church on the Monday after Christmas, Those /ho initiated and Developed this project Are deserving of warm Congratulations for the Splendid idea of having Peop'e come to sing this Wonderful music just for The love of singing it, And for the fun of it, If that term can be used.

They will come from every province of Canada to share in the work of assessing the future of education in this country. Nineteen national organizations are sponsoring this project. They have subscribed and agreed to the three conditions of sponsor- ship; first, to make a financial contribution toward the expenses of the venture; second, to parti- cipate in planning the program and third, to send delegates to the conference. These stipula- tions are significant, for they en- sure active involvement on the part of all sponsors. 19 ORGANIZATIONS To indicate the widespread na- ture of interest in this confer- QUEEN'S PARK tion.

ATTITUDE OF PARENTS One of the major points for discussion, according to Col. Teachers' Federa- New Official To Collect Pictures By DON O"HEARN Special Correspondent to The Daily Times-Gazette TORONTO -- A good man has been given a good job. Edwin C. Guillett has been ap- pointed to the archives depart. ment, with the special assign. ment of collecting old photo- granhs of historical interest Mr. Guillett deserves the ap- poiniment. He has devoted a lifetime to historical research and writing. And in this non-lucrative field through determination, perserver- ance, hard work and personal secrifice he has had a number of volumes published. The same dogged determina- tion will be put into his new job, and one can say with confidence that it will be a job well done. WOULD LOSE As for the job itself, those of the school who disparage "egg- heads" perhaps may think it is frivolous. But Mr. Ordinary Citi- zen should agree it is while. { As Premier Frost noted whef announcing the appointment there are a very large number of pictures still existing which which will be lost if they aren't collected now. One example he cited was pletures of the steam- ship which used to carry traf- fic from the Great Lakes to Or- illia in the days before this com- munity had any connecting roads. Another was regimental photo- graphs from the First World ar. For the few thousand dollars it will cost to collect these they should represent a good invest- ment for the future on the part of the province. Two developments out of Ot- tawa have some interest here. One was the announcement of ap- pointment of the royal commis- sion into price spreads on farm preducts. This, of course, was the sub- worth- K. R. Swinton, chairman of the Confererce, is the a~athy and in- difference of Can: ula rents, eager in the pursvit of soft living and in pursuit of entertainment or amusement, These things, he suggests, may have much to do with the fact that more than half of Canada's teenagers over 14 do not attend school. The schools, he maintains, are doing the best they can with the material at hand, but a much better "best" could be done if the teachers had the co-operation of the parents. "The Canaan family," says Mr. Swinton, is in grave danger of turning out a generation whose most intellec- tual pursuits consist of watching TV serials and reading comic papers." LEADERS WORRIED Those intimately concerned with the organization of the Con- ference are worried because they are not convinced that the Cana- dian people, and especially Cana- dian parents, want their children to have an education. Their hope is that the Conference may help to clarify some of the goals of Canadian education, and provide uide - posts for parents and families in their own attitude. In preparation for this confer- ence, committees are meeting all over Canada, in most cities of all provinces, discussing various angles of what it must be ac knowledged is the pressing prob- lem of the nation. They are seek- ing the views of those who teach, those who employ and those who feel there is a need and cannot identify it positively. This gathering of 700 people in Ottawa will be the largest and most representative educational meeting ever held in Canada. And out of it may come the right answers to the question of where Canada is going in education. ject of much pressure in our arena a year ago and was shelved of by the government on the stand that the investigation could onl be conducted properly by the oh eral government, The second matter is the new expropriation for housing aid and the lowered down payment. Here in Toronto, and probably in other centres, this has been greeted as welcome, but with one reserva- tion. Still needed, it is said, is some way of knocking down the land and promotion costs. Speculators reportedly have gained such control that even with the new federal measyres down payments will still be wp in the thousands. ' SANTA LOCKED IN EAST PATERSON; N.J.
