he Oshawa Fines "Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcos St. S., Oshawa, Ont; Tuesday, October 28, 1958 Many More Subjects For Public Accounts Inquiry Several times during the Commons 'public accounts commitiee's hearings at the last session of Parliament, Conser- vative members spoke ominously about an investigation of St. Lawrence costs. e impression given was that the Sea- May would be the next matter for in- Quiry by the committee. It may be, how- ér, that the committee will first delve to the financial affairs of the National Film Board, ~~ There seems. to be grounds for won- «derment about the Film Board. The gov étnment's fiscal year ended last March #81, but to our knowledge the Film Board's annual report for 1957-58 is #till not available, In the previous year, 5 Board spent $4,060,143, and pay- ents by other government agéncies and 'departments to the NFB for various film projects totalled $948,039 -- all of this public money, of course, The Board's revenue for 1956-57 amounted to $216, 588 from commercial sales, $422,« 624 from rentals and royalties and $0,- 126 from miscellaneous sources, As the Fort Erie Letter-Review points out, the Canadian public has a right te a full accounting of a government agency that operates at a substantial deficit. It also has a right to know more about the new Film Board headquarters at Montreal, for which the public shelled out more than $5 nrillion, and "no less profound a matter of public concern is the staggering outlay for the removel of Film Board employees from Ottawa to Montreal, which together with in stallation of old and new equipment, had totalled no less than $3,227,425.94 up to March 31, 1957." Noisy Mufflers Illegal Readers who complain of noisy mufflers and chafe over inaction in curbing this noise nuisance probably do not need to be reminded that the On- tario Legislature passed a law last spring making it illegal to use a device . Known as the "Hollywood Muffer" on any automobile, The Hamilton Spec- tator reminds its readers of this .Jaw ~in calling for the police department to track down on drivers with this type of muffler attached to their vehicles. "The Hollywood exhaust is found very largely on so-called sports cars, but not n sively so, for many misguided per- little regard for othér people's ave gone to the bother of hese fiendish devices on mobiles, Apparently they aking their car sound like g car they can command the attention they would not otherwise receive, The Hollywood exhaust is pri- marily a poisy toy that appeals to the immature mind," says the Spectator, Ignorance of the law is no excuse, say the legal minds, The amendment to the Highway Traffic Act covering the opéera« tions of the mufflers reads: "Every motor vehicle shall be equip= ped with a muffler in good working order and in constant opération to pre vent excessive or unusual noise and excessive smoke, and no person shall use a muffler cut-out, by-pass or similar device upon a motor vehicle," The definition of "motor vehicle" in the Act includes motorcycles, Yet there are still motorcycles roaring around the streets competing with each other in the amount of noise they can make, ucation Gone Wild ere in Ontario, the trend in educa- n has been away from the fanciful .deas of the so-called progressives to the three R's and the fundamentals, At that, Ontario never wandered as far from the realities of schooling as did some of the states south of the border. Writing in the Atlantic, Mortimer Smith discusses some aspects of education in California, In education, as in other fields of en- deavour, California lives up to its repu- tation for devotion to the cult of the cock-eyed, Examples of scholastic boondoggling and educational nonsense abound: A high school in the southern part of the state has recently inaugurated an 11th and 12th grade course for boys in bachelor living. A Sacramento high school now gives academic credit to juniors and seniors for working as carryout boys in supermarkets and as attendants in gasoline stations, An Oak- River In The The world has long known of the Gulf Stream, with its potent influence .on the climate of the countries whose shores are washed by the Atlantic, Less well known is the more recently discovered 'river in the sea" which fights its way through the waters of the Pacific, . This gigantic submerged river, 250 miles wide and 1000 feet deep, has been mapped by scientists of the University of California's Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Pacific Oceanic Fishery Investigations of the U.S, Fish and Wildlife Service. Measurements show, the announce- ment states, that the newly mapped sub- surface current "is strong as a thousand Mississippi Rivers and as swift as the Gulf Stream. It flows eastward along the Equator for at least 3,500 miles." Dr. Rodger Revelle, director of the @he stato Times T. lL. WILSON, Publisher end General Manager. C.

He added that "this is one of the most exciting discoveries in which the Scripps Institution has been involved." The mapping was done on a cruise of two research vessels, known as the Dol phin Expedition, under the auspices of the National Acedemy of Science's Nat ional Committee for the International Geophysical Year.

The very opposite is true -- only a strong France, a nation under the kind of Authority that de Gaulle personifies can sincerely champion unity and free- dom for us, can support our endeavor to achieve a solution of the German problem, And it is just as foolish of any Frenchman to think that a weak and divided Germany could be of ad- vantage to France.

DULLES AND THE DRAGON QUEEN'S PARK Reports Too Late " For Legal Action By DON O'HEARN ial Correspondent fa e Dally Times-Gazetie By DON O"HEARN TORONTO--There was an al- most sensational labor report handed down heré by Mr. Justice W..D. Roach. The Supreme Court judge had been retained to inquire into the circumstances in the dump-truck operators dispute in the Toronto area two years ago. Long known for his forth-right. ness he didn't hold anything back in the report. Much of his inquiry centred on activities of International Team- sters Union officials. And the oper included a wide condemnation of various acts and attitudes of the union men. BROKE LAW Among the findings was the conclusion that two of the offi- cials had been a party to com- mitting every offence covered by the section of the Criminai Code dealing with intimidation. These offences include threat- ening persons or relatives, block- ing highways and other acts. The commissioner also found that the men had tried to organ. ize independent truckers, who were not open for organization under the Labor Relations Act. That it had assisted them in trying to close down all gravel pit operations in the Toronto area when the men concerned didn't even know what they wanted out of the dispute. And that they had used coer- eion to force contractors to do business with gravel pit operators that were acceptable to the Teamsters. On {ts cold fact the report is a strong indictment of the Team- stérs Union at least, if not the attitude of labor leadership gen- erally. The question is what good it will do? NO CHARGES Attorney - General Roberts be- lieves it wil make a good con: tribution. The observer, however, won- ders if Mr. Roberts is not being an extreme optimist. It is unlikely there will be any charges laid out of the report. Despite the conviction of the judge that a number of offences against the Criminal Code had been committed Joople will not be brought to trial for the of- fences. It is now too late. Such charges must be laid within six months, And most of the acts concerned took place nearly two years ago. NO PROSECUTION The attorney-generai feels the value of the report makes it clear fo both management' and labor what can and can not be done in a labor dispute, But one has to wonder. Even more clear, it seems, might be what can be done with. out fear of prosecution, From the report it should be evident to any labor leader with- out respect for the law that there is much he can get away with and suffer little chance of prose- ction, as long as there is a six- month time limit on prosecutions. One point that stood out in the lengthy findings was that it was a very difficult, if not impossible, task to secure enough evidence to prosecute the ring leaders in an iliegal dispute within the re- quired time. FOR BETTER HEALTH Prompt Action Needed If Child Breaks Tooth HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Dentists tell me that accidents in which children's teeth are broken are increasing. - With our playgrounds as crowd- ed as they arg, with power brakes making quicker automobile stops possible, I suppose it is only natural that youngsters' teeth are more prone to injury from this cause. And the teeth most apt to suffer, unfortunately, are those four upper teeth right in front where everyone can see them, or the lack of them. GET HELP QUICKLY If a front tooth of your chlid is broken, or pushed out of place by an accident, or by other causes, take him to a dentist im- mediately. In many cases, prompt action can save an injured permanent tooth, even one that has been knocked loose in its socket. Im- mediate treatment is essential, especially if the root is fractured or the pulp is involved. At times, a tooth that is dis- placed by the force of a blow can be repositioned if seen short. ly after the accident. DISLODGED TEETH In the case of dislodged teeth, there have been instances where root canal fillings have been per- formed, after which the teeth were successfully placed in their proper positions. When a root is fractured, the chances of saving it depends to a large extent on the location of the break. Now any accident involving youngsters' primary teeth is more likely to displace the teeth than to break them. PUSHED INTO GUM In some cases, the force of the blow is strong enough to push a tooth completely up into the gum, While this, like any other tooth accident, should be examined by a dentist, the chances for saving iP are probably pretty In fact, if x-rays show no frac- ture in the roots, the tooth very likely will re-erupt and resume its former position in the mouth. CHILDREN EMBARRASSED 1 think you will agree that every effort should be made to re. store a disiodged or fractured front tooth. The lack of such a tooth is somewhat embarrassing even for children. Dr. Norman H. Olsen, chair man of the pedodontics depart- ment at the Northwestern Unle versity Dental School, warns: "An unsightly condition in the anterior region of the mouth may contribute immeasurably to an in. feriority complex." QUESTION AND ANSWER M. B.: What are the symptoms of hay fever? = Answer: Hay fever causes such symptoms as attacks of sneezing; congestion of the eyes -- that is, redness, . swelling, and itching: itching of the ears, nose, throat and mouth, watery discharge from the nose.

GALLUP POLL OF CANADA Statements To Clergy Regarded Confidential ' By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Statements made to any min. ister in a Protestant church are given in confidence and should be kept secret; the minister should not be forced to reveal the contents in court if called as witness. This is the belief held by most Canadians. Although this has long been recognized by the general public in regard to the Confessional, the point was raised recently when a Protes- tant minister refused to reoprt on what a man standing trial had said to him, The overwhelm- ing approval of this stand among Canadians, shows practically no difference In the ratios between those who hold opposing opin. fons, as between Roman Catho- lies and Protestants, Many people think of a minis- ter in the same way they think of a doctor or a lawyer--a pro- fessional man who should not betray confidences given him. But this attitude runs head-on into that of another considerable proportion of the public who say that a minister should not have special rights, since he's no dif- ferent from anyone else before the Law and ils requirements in the cause of justice. Interviewers for the Gallup Poll put ti» question to a sam- pie of the adult public, and then asked hy the opinions were held. Results show that while this is 1 controversial question involving many attitudes of mind, Canadians, by a margin of four to one, think no minister can be compelled to testify on what was told him in confidence, The question: "THINKING GENERAL- LY ABOUT MINISTERS IN ALL PROTESTANT CHURCHES, DO YOU THINK THAT A MINISTER HAS THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO TESTIFY IN Drug Clinic Offers Hope To Addicts VANCOUVER (CP)--The Nar- cotic Addiction Foundation of B.C. will quietly open its doors for business soon, with high hopes for success. The project was envisioned two years ago as a hospital with facilities for perhaps 100 in-pa- tients, The dream shrank until the present building was ready with beds for four. But the new director of the foundation, Dr, Robert Halliday, 40, is not discouraged. The Trishe born psychiatrist said the bulk of the work will be with out-pa tients, while the beds will enable the foundation to handle up to 50 in-patients a year. With four social - workers, he said, "I could see us being able to offer some service to perhaps 200 or 250 patients a year. But just how much service depends on the patient." By the time the addict reaches the centre, he will be physically "cured." That is, he will have gone through the painful with- drawal treatment at hospital. But addiction is mainly a mental problem, says Dr. Holli- day. "Our aim is rehabilitation to get them back into society. That means getting them a job, so they can stand up for them- selves, and treating them so they feel comfortable once again with people."
