The Osharon Sunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 68 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 4 Tuesday, May 26, 1959 Many Hazards Present In Work Of Farmers In the all too short period of agricul tural production ahead; when because of the time element, everyone involved either directly or indirectly must make the most of their effort, it is extremely sad to think that Death and Injury stalk their every hour, A minimum of 658 Canadian farm people will die and least 32,404 will be hospitalized. These figures have been compiled from available sta- tistics by Mr. L, L. Sykes, Executive Secretary of the Canadian Federation of Farm Equipment Dealers, Fifteen per cent of Canada's national population of over 17,000,000 are char- ged with the responsibility of producing food etc, for their fellow man. Their success is contingent upon no end of un- controllable problems -- weather per- haps being the greatest, Hail and hurri- cane, as well as drought or flood, can in minutes destroy the work of months! Even with modern innovations and scien- tific applications the farmer's lot is still long hours, hard work, and all too fre- quently, short pay. It can be accepted without reservation that at least 165 of the happy, carefree, rosy - cheeked farm children presently enjoying the pleasures of the warming spring weather, will not answer roll tall when their schools open riext term, for they will have been the victims of farm fatalities. Over 267 young farm people under the age of 20, who have chosen to follow in their parents' footsteps and be farm- ers--many who are wise because of ex- perience in long hours of doing hard extra chores, and those who have been fortunate to plan on courses at the var- jous agricultural schools ----- will lose their lives in the hustle and bustle of the production season in 1959. Experience and knowedge, possibly the greatest factor to successful farming, will be lost forever to the industry when accidental deaths occur to the farm fathers and mothers during the 1959 planting and hervesting period. The loss of the head of the family could well result in the disappearance of the very farm itself, Prevention Only Cure There's an old political adage which says, "if you can't lick' em, join 'em", This same philosophy appears to have spread to the economic arena, as more and more people have come to believe in the inevitability of a shrinking dollar and have become participants in the in- flationary process by seeking in one way or another to find a "hedge" against in- flation. Some have sought that "hedge" in the purchase of common stocks. The result has been that th prices of certain popu- Jar common stocks have themselves be- come highly inflated. But the efficacy of this sort of inflationary "hedge" becomes questionable indeed when il is remem- bered that at the end of 1958 one-third of all commons stocks list®d on the New York Stock Exchange were selling below their highs of 1946, twelve years earlier. Others have sought to beat inflation by demanding escalator clauses in wage contracts, The trouble with wage esca- lation, however, is that inflation becomes "built-in Yet others seek to beat inflation by in- vesting in gold, in art treasures and in gems. But such objects have very un- certain markets and involve heavy ex- pense to hold, to insure and to resell. This type of inflation 'hedge' is no game for amateurs, The plain truth is that for the indivi- dual there is no foolproof 'hedge' against inflation, any more than there is no fool- proof way of picking a winner in the Irish Sweepstakes, A few may win, but the vast majority will lose. The only sure way to beat inflation is to prevent it, so that people can trust the Canadian dollar, Peace And World Law Recent meetings of the American Bar Association in Boston have express ed hope for a beneficial extension throughout the world of the rule of law which has meant so much to the western democracies. From the legal point of view, unhap- pily, the world right now suggests the scattered patches of a crazy quilt. In ev- ery land, of course, laws of some sort ex- ist, What they need, however, is to be tied together in some complete fabric-- a blanket of international 'aws that would cover all men against the cold war, There is hope that the strong threads of a basic hunger for justice can pull them together. The International Court is lik» some giant unused sewing machine. Case by case it could have been whipstitching together the world's patchwork of laws But in 13 years it has decided only 10 causes As a means of peace, war has failed, disarmament has fumbled, and diplo- macy needs help, Lawyers of the worlq are stirring, With increasing momen- tum various law groups have been dedicating themselves to establishing peace through the rule of law. Greatést impetus of late has come from the mobilization of the American Bar Association. It launched this project in London in 1957. At last the working meetings have begun, The Boston con- ference could lead to a world summit of lawyers in 1961. A first goal is the setting up of a world-wide workaday court system, As a group, lawyers have been in the wings too long. They will be welcomed to the centre of the world arena. Peoples of the world have got to learn the habit of living by law instead of by the jungle rule of war, Study Of Russ Tongue Recent general practice was to pooh- pooh anything thai came out of Russia, and to minimize Russia's claims to scien- tific achievement. Recent vears have brought a gradual change in the attitude, and now Canada is making rapid steps to correct its slowness recognize what Russia has to offer. One of the reasons this Jas been that Canadians have had a very scant knowledge of the Russian langu- age, and the first step is to try to correct that lack.

In the past we have depended on in- terpreters, But there is nothing more frustrating than to present your thoughts to one person for conveyance in a strange language to a third person. Who knows whether the question or reply turns out the same way in the other tongue? For effective contact, it is important that both parties can meet on a common language level And we cannot wait for Russians to learn English, If we want to carry our share of responsibility in world affairs, we must have a large group of people who can speak Russian.

Mrs. Dunning suggests that "'our favorite doctor" should be hon- ored by the cigar companies, which should name a. cigar for him: "El Medico (His and Hers)." She herself honors (7) El Medico by a poem on the theme that "each woman should smoke a big fat smelly cigar'-- which is a far cry from the cigaret-shaped ci suggested by this column--and she asks whe- ther any man, when his work is through, and his thoughts stray to women as they often do, could enjoy lips that constantly chew a beat-up old smelly cigar? That is a convincing argument from Orillia--almost. If female lips must smoke, I personally would sooner they were alive chewing a cigarillo, than dead immortalizing the dangers of cigarets--which is the message Orillia's favorite doctor was per- haps hinting at. COPS AND ROBBERS The subject of U.S. cops who are also sebbers proved to be an- other topic popular with many readers. This column referred to the evil practice in certain U.S. communities, whereby cars with picked up and y while cars with local licences are not stopped. This practice re- lates especially to a group of cars all driving faster than permitted br the local speed limitations, ond it is especially prévalent in those areas where cop and magis- trate automatically get a cut in any fine thus mulcted from the traveller. Desmond Lonergan of Quebec City writes to warn me that this practice is not unknown inside Canada, and he suggests that mo- torists should travel between BYGONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO S. J.

Thanks for the warning, and for your wishes that I enjoy a safe, pleasant journey when- ever | travel any distance! Another reader who writes to me on this same topic is Hon. C. C. Williams, minister of la- bor in the Saskatchewan govern- ment, Mr. Williams kindly sent me the interesting details of an occasion when the fire commis. sioner and deputy fire commis- sioner of that province were both singled out of a convoy of cars with local licences in the state of Michigan. As is usual in such cases, the tourists were arrested and fined, the local drivers were not A recent edition of a U.S, mag- azine describes an outstandingly bad example of this treatment being handed out to a Hamilton business man in the state of Georgia -- treatment which has led to an exchange of diplomatic notes between Ottawa and Wash- ineion.

This column has suggested that the lewd and suggestive elements and the brutal and crime-glorifv- ing episodes should be forced off ! our Canadian broadcasting "en- tertainments." Mrs. Alice Bieber of Pembroke is one of several readers who have endorsed this | proposal. She deplores the man- ner in which TV and other media are filling our children's minds with evil influences which nullify the good implanted by our churches and schools. And she explains that, with her two girls and one boy, she enjoys relaxa- tion at such wholesome activities as camping, skating and garden- ing: "We have no TV." Since my comments were writ- ten, a storm has rent the prov- ince of Quebec over a CBC pres- entation centred . round Marie d'Youville, who founded the Grey Nuns or Sisters of Charity Order. On the very evening when she was beatified by the Catholic Church in Rome, the CBC de- picted her as a lewd, wanton, de- generate woman, little . better than a prostitute, as one Quebec Catholic disgustedly commented to me, That is one side of the picture; the other side is the modern trend which makes even Snow White into a blood-curdling horror story, unfit for small chil dren to see on the screen Justice.

BUNDESEN, M.D. If 1 asked you to name as many diseases as you could think of, you undoubtedly would be able to rattle off quite a long list, But I'll bet not a single person would mention any disease of the nails. : This wouldn't surprise me a bit because people seldom think about their nails excent to trim or polish them, Yet diseases of the nails are surprisingly wide. spread. * MOST COMMON The most common infection 4s ringworm. It accounts for about 20 per cent of all nail infections, Ringworm may be caused by various organisms, but generally the villain is one of three types. Probably the first sign that something is wrong will be a scaling at the edge of the nail, Usually only one nail is affected at first. Then the disease spreads ta others, Anywhere from one to all ten may be affected. BECOMES OBVIOUS Once it gets underway, the in. fection usually becomes pretty obvious, The nail is likely to be- come "heaped-up' and you won't + be able to see through it any more The edges of the nail will be. come powdery. Now there might or might not be accompanying skin infection. But, as the dis- ease progresses, fungi will be noticed at nail. And these fungi are apt to infect the skin. INCREASING AMOUN™ The result is usually an increas- ing amount of ringworm Iinfec- tion. You probably will call it athlete's foot, whether it is the finger or toenails that are in- volved, ' The disease's progression Is generally painless. And that is unfortunate. For, if there were pain, more victims would seek prompt cal treatment. As it is, far too many of them just Jet it go. If the disease is severe, it might mean complete loss of a nail, or nails. Maybe the nail will simply disintegrate, maybe it will become separated from the nail bed. . FRUIT AND VEGETABLES As you might suspect, persons handline and packing froit and vegetables are especially vulner- able to certain types of nall diseases. There are several things your doctor can do to help you and your 'nzi's, shonld they become infected. If the infection is deep, he might have to remove the nails. It it isn't, roentgen rays might be helpful. Not long ago a new penetrat ing nail base was developed to carry lodine or other prepara tions throughout the nail plate. , QUESTION AND ANSWER F.
