She Osha Times | Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont, Tuesday, February 10, 1959 Fv ire ¥ 'Heart Ailments Taking Heavy Toll In Canada ce] a the rugged weather that hes hit with more than usual force this «year, many well-meaning people are .fempted to éxert themselves- beyond bounds of reason, and find them- "gelves afflicted with heart trouble. According 'to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, heart disease is the lead- ig chronic ailment in Canada, with "an approximate loss of 30 million man heurs per year. In cold figures, in 1957 loss of earnings due to heart trouble réached $50 millions, with a consequent loss to the economy of $150,000,000, "++ Not only that, but whife the over-all death rate decreased in Canada in the period from 1930 to 1956 from 10.7 to 8,2 per 1,000 the death rate from heart diseases increased almost one per cent "to slightly more than half the deaths . from all causes. Again, in cold figures, {the deaths from heart diseases jump- ted from 41,832 in 18930 to 64,925 in 11956, or 55 per cent. Because of this threat from heart dis- 'ease as the No. 1 killer and the most common cause of physical disability in Canada today, 'the Canadian Heart Foundation last year launched its first * major public appeal for funds to speed *a program of research, education and for the operation of professional clinics and administration. Of this, 98 per cent is earmarked for re<earch. The outstanding success of the appeal a year ago indicated: to officials the public concern over this widespread menace to its health. Accordingly they are launching their second appeal, with a national objective of $1,101,124, On- tario"s share has been set at $425,000. The encouraging thing about such an appeal is that it 'has largely been care ried 'through without door-to-door so- licitation. Through the co-operation of the Canadian chartered banks, donations may be made, as they were last year, at any bank branch, A personal ap- proach is being reserved largely for large corporations and businesses, That phase of th. appeal is already under way, but the main campaign is being made through the month of Feb- ruary, which has been designated "Heart Month." Whether this is by ac- cident or by design, it happily ties in very neatlyswith the celebration of St. Valentine's Day when the symbol of Jove and generosity is expressed in the shape of a heart. So at this most appropriate time we would urge all" who possibly can to open their heart and their purses for this most worthy cause, To the extent that they do, will be the extent that a check rein will be placed effectively on the nation's No. 1. health problem, Custom Of Coffee Break Canadians sometimes adopt the cus- toms of other lands and then lose no time in making greater use of those customs than the originating nation. This is true in the case of the much dis- ! cussed coffee-break which is now more * popular in Carada than in the United States where the custom, or habit, orig- inated. In a report to its members the National Office Management Associa- tion says that 91 per cent of the Can- adian companies interviewed have reg- ularly designated periods for coffee drinking as compared with 79 per cent of the U.S. companies interviewed. Except for this and thegadded popu- larity of tea in Canada, the patterns of the coffee-break were found by the afsociation to be the same in Canada as in the United States, Coffee is by all Zrodds the favorite office drink in both "countries, but tea is second in Canada '»while soft drinks are in second place in "the United States. © "The majority of office workers in "both countries now have two coffee- breaks a day rather than one, the As- sociation's sur--ey shows, and in most cases are given 15 minutes on each oc- casion to drink their coffee. How does the boss feel about. the coffee-break? Most employers, the as- sociation reports, seem to like it for its morale value and only a small number, three per cent, have any plans for dis- continuing it. A continuing difficulty, however, is getting the worker back on .the job after the coffee-break is over, but this was the only major problem mentioned by the employers in the survey. Though the main popularity of the coffe-break has come about in the years since World War II, the association's survey shows that in certain companies the custom has a long history. One firm has had coffee: breaks for 40 years and four companies reported that coffee has been served to their employes for 33 years. A fourth of all companies. on the other hand, had no coffee-break at all five years ago. US. High School Study "James Bryant Conant's study of American high school is now out in a 140-page booklet the Christian Science Mbnitor notes, and goes on to comment: too Notably, the study is one not of Am- "rerican 'prep schools" but of American thigh schools -- those "comprehensive" Yinstitutions which must offer schooling $6, the entire youth of a community. Here, Dr. Conant believes, lie values at the very heart of American democ- racy. And the underlying assumption of Ris report is that these schools should he preserved! not reorganized into something else. He has two general criticisms: A "number of high schools are simply too small to do the educational job de- marided by the space age. And "the academically ta'ented student as a rule is"not being sufficiently challenged." Dr. Conant condenses his findings into ~ 21 concrete recommendations which, at the very least, will provide 21 well-defined points of departure for some lively discussions throughout the land. And among educators there likely will be more agreement than disagree- 'ment, For instance: that there should be more and bette. counselling; that there should be more individualized pro- graming rather .than regimenting into "tracks"; ed according to ability; graded, ranked only subject by subject; The Oshawa Times T.

GROUP SYSTEM Dear Sir: I read with consider- able interest that an article writ- ten by Patrick Nicholson, pub- lished in your paper, has been the subject of a question in Par- liament. Apparently Mr. Nicholson's ar- ticle dealt with a "group" within the press gallery which are fa- vored by the CBC to the exclusion of all others. If such is the case, may I add my voice to that of Mr, Nicholson -and state further that this 'group' system seems to be in vogue in all other branches of television. In fact it is my belief that there isa "family compact" inter related by blood, marriage and mutual interests, that completely dominates writing, performing and producing. Daily we see such things as "rin be your guest, you be mine." Recently to this has been added "I'll interview you, you in- terview me." All of course at the usual fees. One actress had the effrontery to ask Mr. A. Davidson Dunton in an interview if he re- sented the performers getting much larger salaries than he did while chairman of the board of governors. The CBC pay lip service to de- veloping Canadian culture and arts while in fact confining all opportunity to a favored few In the Toronto compact. It is hardly fair to expect Mr. Nowlan to intervene in this situ- ation but there is no reason why a royal commission or parlia- mentary committee 'couldn't in- vestigate it thoroughly. If each employe of 'the CBC were asked to list blood or marriage rela- tives also employed by CBC it should make an interesting and complicated study. The stock CBC statement that "naturally there must be people the producers can call upon for dependable work" is the under- statement of the decade. Halifax A. W. ROY QUEEN'S PARK OTTAWA REPORT Crown Companies Give Few Details By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The Queen's Printer has just released Public Accounts of Canada, the two-volume Blue Book which details down the last cent just how our Federal gov- ernment spent $5,087,411,011 of our tax money in the past fiscal year. While Volume One ix a juicy 1,050-page book listing expendi- tures by all government depart. ments, Volume 2 contains a pal- try 142 pages, which describe the financial achievements of 29 Crown companies--sometimes in shocking lack of detail such as this scandalously non informative entry which I repeat fr full: BANK OF CANADA Profit and Loss Account for the year ended December 31, 1957 Profit $68,711,435 As a report to you, the share holders of the Bank, that is an insolence which would not be tol- erated by the shareholders of any public company, and I hope that your representatives in Parlia- ment will utilise' an -appropriate occasion to protest. GRIT IN THE TILL An unusual angle about this Year's edition of Volume I of the Blue Book is that it reveals that the period under review, including the first nine months of the Dief- enbaker Administration, was "Be- kind-to-Liberals Year", 3s a few examples will show. 1. Liberal Senate Speaker, Wis- hart Robertson, was retained in that office, despite the Liberal de- 'feat, from election day on June 10 until Hon. Mark Drouin was appointed Speaker on Oct. 4. Sen- ator Robertson received in full the pay and allowances of the Speaker during that period, thus enjoying an unexpected post- election gift of $4,063 65. 2. The C. D. Howe Co. Ltd., was employed to handle the engineer- ing of all eight grain elevators built by the Government, and re- ceived for this work a total of $15,758 in fees. The Blue Book does not reveal whether Mr. Howe or members of his family enjoy any interest in that com- pany bearing his name. 3. Duncan MaeTavish, Presi- dent of the National Liberal Fed- eration, was able to rent a build- ing in Ottawa to the government for the sum of $27,393' and his law firm was paid $4,539 in fees by the department of defence pro- duction and $965 by the patent division of the state department, 4. One of the eX-assistant sec- retaries of the late prime minis- ter Mackenzie King, who is not a professional librarian, was paid $9,000 for his year's work as as- sistant parliamentary librarian, a Speech Forecast Of Vote Tactics By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent te The Oshawa Times TORONTO -- We have been given a preview of what will probably be the government's election plan of attack. Premier Frost usually doesn't vary his speeches a great deal during a campaign: He takes a set of basic themes and sticks to them throughout the five weeks' tour on the hustings. (In elections to date they have all been a defence of the govern- ment's record with praise for the "tremendous strides" that have been taken.) The build-up for the speech usually starts during the session. And observers take for granted hensive high school." A sad show infga; the address. given by the Not wholly. Dr. Conant says he is "con- vinced American secondary education can be made satisfactory without any radical changes in the basic pattern." Other Editor's Views BLACKSMITHS WELL PAID (Sherbrooke Record) Suppose you have a son, just out of college, pondering what career to pur- sue. If a friend suggested that he be- copie a blacksmith, you'd probably think he was crazy. You'd be wrong. Although th: village smithy no long- er stands under the spreading chestnut tree, there's many a smithy in many a big city. And the smithy, a mighty man is he with a paycheck that can total as much as $20,000 a year. So says the Wall Street Journal in a recent survey. NEW ICE AGE AHEAD? (Winnipeg Tribune) There's a theory that an increase in the weight of the north polar ice cap would shift the balance of the earth, tip the globe at a new angle, throw the weather out of kilter and bring back the ice age. All we'd like to ask is this: "Has*any- one checked the North Pale lately? This may not be the new ice age but it will be hard to convince residents of this ice-cube province that something hasn't come unstuck.

IGNORE PLATTORM? A noteworthy featu- of the speech was that it ignored pro- posals Liberal Leader Winter- meyer had made the preceding day. From this one imagines Mr. Frost personally intends to follow his old practice of '~ ating opposi- tion platforms with silence.

OTHERS MURDER In this campaign, however, # is probable the opposition plat- forms won't be ignored. Rather it would seem likely that they will be handled by the sec- ondary line of attack.

A former Liberal cabinet minister and president of the Na- tional Liberal Federation, Charlie 'Massey, received the highest re- corded salary in the book, namely $48,667; while his son, Hart, was paid $57,650 for plans and specifi- cations for a building at the Cen- tral Experimental Farm; and his other son, Lionel, apparently re- ceived no pay from the publie purse for serving as social secre- tary to the Governor - General. The ecabinet minister, de scribed as His Excellency The Right Honorable Vincent Massey, also received $100,000 in allow- ance and $105,408 for travelling expenses, ete. The government also paid $5,400 for operating his laundry and $42,564 for supplies for his residence and the sur rounding park, as well as other items for maintenance. 6. Cockfield Brown, the Liberal Party's advertising agency, re- ceived over half the expenditure of $000,000 plus, made by the government travel bureau in U.S. Publications. 7.

FOR BETTER HEALTH List of Food Substitutes To Vary Reducing Diet HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD A while ago 1 gave you a list of meat and fat substitutes for adding variety to reducing diets.
