Page 4 Wednesday, November 12, 1958 Experts Can Be Of Help | In Busy Municipalities A rousing call to citizens to interest themselves in municipal work was made in a Rotary Club address in Osh- awa this week by A. E. O'Neill, mem- ber of the city's Board of Education and former principal of Oshawa Collegiate and Vocational Institute. Mr, O'Neill urged his listeners to take an active part in municipal life, either as candi- detes for office or well-informed voters, It is difficult to criticize people for not running for municipal office. The task of serving one's municipality is no basy one; it takes time and effort; it often means a sacrifice of other activi- ties, even of personal gain; all too often its only reward is the satisfaction of having done something to help the community, sometimes without thanks. One gets more criticism than praise, Mr. O'Neill mentioned these factors, but also noted that without the work of public-spirited men and women the delicate balr.ace of our democracy could be badly, perhaps, irretrievably dama- ged. With the hardships of public office in mind, it was somewhat surprising to hear Mr, O'Neill criticize the so-called expert in municipal affairs, The hope of efficient municipal government, we believe, lies in the proper employment of experts or specialists, They are be- coming increasingly necessary to save the elected representatives from being loaded with a back-breaking amount of work--work that in the great major- ity of cases can ohly be handled at a rate of personal sacrifice that should not: be demanded of any citizen. . The employment of the experts does not or should not mean any lessening of the authority of elected representatives, The men and women who win publie support at the polls must always be the masters, But they are essentially the policy-makers, the legislators. What they lack is the time and sometimes the training to look after the complicated routine of administration, the neces sary but time-consuming task of co-or=- dinating effort and putting policy into effect, This is where the expert can be- come the invaluable employe. With sound policy-making and ex=- pert execution of policy, a municipality cannot help buf have efficient adminis= tration, Transport And Resources A prize example of how important transportation is to the development of an area is the Peace River country. From the Alaska Highway, oil and gas exploration and forestry have pushed outward north of Dawson Creek and Fort St, John. The Mackenzie Highway, completed in 1948, opened up the coun~ try as far north as Hay river on Great Blave Lake and linked it with the rail- way at Grimshaw. In 1952 the John Hart Highway, crossing the Rockies througt Pine Pass to connect Prince George and Dawson Creek, gave the Peace River country an outlet to the Pacific Coast. In fact this area, based for so many years entirely on Edmon- ton, has now a triple outlet to the Coast. This fall the Pacific Great East- ern railway reached Fort St. John and Dawson Creek. Late last year a "river of fuel" began flowing through the 650-mile natural-gas pipeline from the Peace River gas fields to Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest states, While a well-established commercial agriculture has developed in the areas near the railway, pioneering continues to open new tracts farther afield, But it will be many decades before all the good land still available (conservative- ly estimated at about seven million acres) is cleared of bush and brought under cultivation. The Peace River country was ard still is the last great agricultural frontier on the continent, the Bank of Nova Scotia's monthly re- view points out. The area can no longer be discussed in terms of agriculture alone, however, Since the first big gas well blew in at Fort St, John, it has become a major na- tural gas region. Demand for gas from both local and export markets has far exceeded expectations. There is thus a strong incentive to explore for gas and to build up proved reserves, now esti- mated at 3.8 trillion cubic feet. Further encouragement, the review observes, is to be found in the fact that "nowhere in the sedimentary basin of Western Canada are the prospects for gas ex- ceeded by those of the Peace River area." The forest resources are rich, Open- ing of the Alaska Highway in British Columbia and the Mackenzie Highway in Alberta, along with the buoyant post- war market for lumber, resulted in a substantial increase in the total cut in the region. With better highways and trucking facilities, operations are no longer so closely concentrated in areas adjacent to the railway. Moreover, the roads built into new areas in connection with oil exploration are being used for logging -- an example of the effect of one type of resource development on an« other, Traffic Communication Man has developed the technology of communications to a fantastic point. News from the farthest corners of the earth is relayed to our eyes within minutes. Even while driving, we are linked with the world outside, We can be kept informed of the progress of momentous elections; we know about a ball being hit, hundreds of miles away, while it is still in the air. There is even the car telephone, Driving at 50 miles an hour the indus- trial magnate can pick up the receiver to find out the prices of tin on the Lon- don market or call home to cireck if the plumber has been there to fix the leak, Even with the car-borne miracles in the field of communications, however, some matters remain an impenetrable mystery to us. One of them often is, what the driver ahead intends to do at the next intersection, A man in a moving car is vulnerable at all times, the Ontario Safety League ptints out. On crowded highways, no one is ever more than a second or two away from a potential crash. Disaster can zoom into the picture at any mom- ment, from front, rear or sides.

Other Editor's Views AT 105 MILES AN HOUR (Minneapolis Tribune) A man who admitted driving his car 105 miles an hour in Minneapolis pro- tested when Judge L. Howard Bennett sentenced him to 30 days in the work- house. Bennett replied: "It is careless wanton driving. No one can drive that fast on a public street, and expect me to take it lightly." Wanton is the word for it. A man might as well release a dozen mad dogs in a neighborhood as to drive through it at this reckless speed, The workhouse is exactly the right place for motorists who take such chances, And the longer the sentence, the better most of us will like it. .

After a short visit to the United States and a longer stay in Brit- ain, one of the travellers wrote me his impressions. By far the most significant comment made by that surprised observer was something which we should all inwardly digest: "Great Britain and the United States," he wrote, 'have more faith in the destiny of our Canada than some Canadians have in themselves. Sir Wilfrid Laurier realised that 'The 20th Century belongs to Canada,' and the far- sighted vision of that great statesman is now on the fringe area of realization--and the total result will not be based on the fruits of socialism." The official side of the prime minister's tour has been reported in daily cables published in our newspapers. My correspondent added many interesting happen- ings which the cables overlooked and Prime Minister Macmillan speak" it proclaimed. FAMILIARITY ASTONISIES Our travellers have been as- tonished to find so many Britons so familiar with Canada. A dinner was given in the. prime minister's honor by the British prime minister, at his of- ficial residence at 10 Downing Street. Among the guests was a man who had been in Saskatoon the previous week; a woman who had even met our prime mins- ter's recent Yukon acquaintance, "Black Mike" Wenage of Daw- son city, when she had accom- panied her husband there on the business of the Hudson's Bay Company; another man, a direct descendant of the Scottish foun- der of Winnipeg--Lord Selkirk, and his wife were "full of the subject of Canada"; another woman had been born in North Dakota, had spent some time in Guelph, and now as Lady Hay- worth enjoyed discussing Cana- diana such as the phenomenon of the flights of duck and wild geese across Saskatchewan.

Many a person gets out on a limb when he has a genealogist look up his family tree. One of the sports cars in the lowest price range has the ap- pearance, from the rear, of a bird that has just landed and hasn't quite got his wings folded. At times it would seem the type of person who gets' most out of life has a strong constitution, a weak brain and a vestigial con- science. "Don't work when you don't feel like working," advises a phy- sician. But, Doc, if we didn't work when we didn't feel like working, we wouldn't eat when we felt like eating, which is often, 'Children these days want far too much," says an editor. Yes, and what's more and worse, they iuvariably manage somehow to get it. Most people know little enough about religion to argue at length about it. i : §3 its % E : ; : BYGONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO The Westmount Dance Pavilion was gutted by fire believed to he of incendiary origin. Alex C. Hall, Crown Attorney, was elected the first president of the Oshawa Branch of the Viec- torian Order of Nurses. Dr. G. M.

Churches put on suppers for 50 cents admission and hotel rates were $2 a day. Food prices were low -- butter, 20 cents a pound and tea 39 cents a pound. W. C. Jenkins was elected president of the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Legion on the resignation of James Holt from that office. Mrs. Elizabeth Thales, Ontar- jo street, celebrated her 101st y. The Arena officials announced that there was a possibility that the arena would not be in opera- tion for the winter due to the un- certainty of the hockey situation. WITHOUT RED CARPET Dr. P. B. Rynard, Conservative M.P. from Orillia, is an honored member of the prime minister's group on the tour. "They love him along our path, as they do in Ottawa," says my correspondent, adding that Dr. Rynard and the prime minister and his brother, Elmer Diefen- baker, went on a private unher- alded sight-seeing walk around London one afternoon. Dr. Ry- nard's objectives coincided with Elmer Diefenbaker"s, and they were luckily able to take in more than the prime minister. These in- cluded walking down the Strand to see if Piccadilly Circus is as intriguing as Times Square, in New: York (Times Square is in the bush league by comparison-- P.N.); to visit Madame Tus- saud's Waxwor k Exhibition (which now includes a lifesize model of John Diefenbaker); to see St. Paul's Cathedral, West- minster Abbey, the Tower of Lon- don and of course the Houses of Parliament. While the trio was walking down the Strand, the prime min- ister spotted 'a sigp of great dimensions in navy blue" hang- ing outside Canadian-born Lord Beaverbrook's newspaper office. "Hear Rt. Hon, John Diefenbaker my corresp i some of the leaders of our great Commonwealth and their wives, who have such an intimate know- ledge of our everyday life in Canada and at the same time have such an abiding faith in our great Canadian nation'. FAREWELL FROM OTTAWA A large crowd gathered at Ot- tawa airport to wish the prime .minister "Bon Voyage' as he left on his eight - week 35,000 - mile, world-girdling tour. His cabinet was there in force, many with their wives. Only one back-bench colleague from Par. liament troubled to pay him the courtesy of a farewell, the ubiquitous and smiling John Hamilton of Toronto. All the foreign diplomats were there with their wives, and the prime minister shook his way down the needlessly long line of outstretched hands; protocol calls for the presence on such occa- sions only of the ambassador from each country to be visited. As the plane departed, many thought with anxiety of a similar world tour in 1954, from the rigors of which our then prime minister never seemed to recover fully. And the question mark again raised itself: Is our pres. ent prime minister driving him- self too hard? ' QUEEN'S PARK Tighter Control There have been two very the press as a result of the Ottawa ex- plosion. One quotes A. R. Crozier, chair- man of the Ontario Fuel Board. As reported in the Ottawa Journal Mr, Crozier sald: "But it must be remembered that the odd explosion will al- ways occur in an old distribution system." The other, again in the Journal, quotes W. A. Landon, chief engi- neer of Consumers Gas Company, which owns the Ottawa Gas Com- pany. Mr. Landon was reported as saying: 'Company safety requir are far in excess of the require- ments of law." If one wanted to take 4 those face value what a terrible implication they would have. They would mean that we were going to keep on having explo- sions from time to time. And that the law would not try and curb them. 4 But even allowing for a loose- ness of expression on Mr. Croz- ier's part and over-statement on Mr. Landon's they are bad enough, At the least they must shake the faith of the people of Ottawa Brantford, Palermo and Toronto --which has had its share of ex- plosions -- in the capacity and even the intent of the present control machinery over natural gas to protect the public. SAFEST ELSEWHERE How right is this? Unfortunately it seems too ch too right for one to ignore t. Until a few years ago, at least, natural gas, according to figures released by the American Gas Association, had the best safety record of any fuel on the con- tinent. Our recent Ontario history cer- tainly has not been in line with this. ind FOR BETTER HEALTH Does Stutted-Up Nose Mean Sinus HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD A stuffy nose might re a symp- tom of any number of things. It might mean only that you have a common coid or it might mean sinus trouble. Only your doctor, of course, can tell if you really do have sinusitis. But there are many other symptoms in addition to a stuffed nose which can give even the uneducated layman a pretty good idea whether the trouble lies in the sinuses. MORNING PAIN Usually you will have a head- ache or pain over the infected sinus in the morning. Late in the afternoon the pain will ease up considerably. You may also notice pain in the upper teeth, the cheek and eise- where in the head. Maybe your forehead will pain you upon pres- sure. You may have fever, you may 'eough, your eyelids, cheeks or forehead may swell and you prob- ably will feel pretty tired and generally ache all over. DRY NASAL PASSAGES As for your nose, that often will give you plenty of trouble. The nasai passages probably will be dry. Because of the lack of drain- age and the swollen membrane ho will be clogged. erhaps there will be a dis- charge from the nose or a drip- ping from the back of the nose into your throat. Some sinus vic- tims even partially lose their sense of smell. The sinuses, you must under- stand, are the air spaces in the bones of the head and face and are connected by small openings with the nose, It's easy to see how any infection in the nose can spread rapidly to the sinuses. The air spaces which most Wh infected gre those in the cheek bones beiow the eyes, those between and be- hind the eyes and those above the eyes. HEAT MAY HELP Sometimes the pain can be re- lieved by applying a hot water bag or hot compresses over ,the infl tion. Or an electric heat- One can only there has been looseness in control, There is a lot of old gas pipe in the ground in a number of On- tario communities, NO REASSURANCE There has been nothing the On- tario Fuel Board has been able to say that has left assurance this is really safe. This follows even with those who have been very close to the board. Its intentions have been of the best. But unfortunately one has to conclude it has fallen down on performance, ing pad may be used instead. But these methods won't cure the infection. Your doctor has a number of drugs to relieve the pain, shrink the swollen membranes and clear up the infection. Let me caution you, however, to. use inhalants, salve or nose drops only if they are prescribed by your physician. Sometimes we run across se- vere cases which can't be remedied by medical treatment. In such instances, we have to perform surgical treatment, such as an operation to open the sinus- es to permit them to drain " Trouble? R. H.: What would cause my ankles to swell and ache? Answer: One of the most com- mon causes of swoilen ankles is heart or kidney disease. Another common cause is prolonged standing. Swelling of the ankles may also occur in people who have had an insufficient diet, especially in protein foods. You should have a careful study made by your physician to determine the exact cause of your trouble and then carefully follow his advice. bec and the Maritimes here the per cent.
