y he Oshawa Tunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 "Wednesday, March 9, 1960 Efforts Of Quiet Men Vital To Communities In a nation such as ours, the progress of a community depends to a very great extent on the willingness of citizens to accept large responsibilities simply be- cause they feel it is their duty to do so, and without any expectation of re- muneration or glory. They are the quiet men, who do big jobs without fuss, and we all owe them a tremendous debt of gratitude--they are, more often than not, shouldering our burdens. Such a quiet man is Charles McGib- bon, QC, who recently retired from the Oshawa Planning Board. He has not been in good health--and the load of work for the community that he shouldered, in addition to the demands of his own profession, undoubtedly placed a great strain on him. Mr. McGibbon was appointed to the Planning Board in 1950, and in 1953 was elected vice-chairman. He held that office for three years, and then was elected chairman, a position he held until his resignation. As chairman he was an unassuming but effective leader. During his tenure the position of direc- tor of planning was created; the long- awaited zoning bylaw came into effect; a plan for school locations was worked out with the board of education--the first of its kind in Ontario, and warmly applauded by the provincial depart- ment of planning and development; the Oshawa Regional Planning Associa- tion was organized. He was the moving force in the creation of the Regional Association. As chairman of the Oshawa board, he realized that the city eould not be re- garded as an isolated unit, but that it had a common destiny with adjacent areas and eommunities. Some of the municipalities might well have been suspicious of any suggestion of "integra- tion", but Mr. McGibbon"s diplomacy and good sense kept the project clear of petty bickering. The Association was formed and is working harmoniously for the definite benefit of the district. He was chairman of the Association for three years. His influence was strong, too, in the formation of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, and he has served as chairman of the committee investigating a possible location for the suggested Oshawa community arena. In brief, Charles McGibbon has been a good citizen. We hope his return to health is rapid and complete, for his sake and for that of the community. Letting Splashers Know An unusual amount of snow has been piled along the street margins of this district's communities. It is not going to stay there forever (we hope). A good thaw can come at any time, and when it does, the streets and sidewalks will be awash There will be pools of slush and ditry water. In other words, the condi- tions will be perfect for discourteous motorists to drench unhappy pedes- trians. In Oshawa the board of works, often maligned for this or that real or imaginary fault, did am excellent emergency job of elearing streets after the most recent heavy snowstorm. Board of works men have also been chopping away at ice and packed snow to clear drains in preparation for a thaw. But despite their efforts there will be miniature lakes on many streets and puddles and filled gutters on all streets. The situation is unavoidable. It is up to the drivers, then, to exer- eise some discretion, The worst splash- ers, of eourse, are also the worst drivers. They are the speeders;, the tailgaters, the double-parkers, the Ilight-jumpers, the idiots. They are the most resistant to safety education--to any sort of education, for that matter--but some- how we must get the idea across to them that, no matter how selfish and stupid they may be, they still must live in a society of civilized people and must obey its laws, written and unwritten. The police do what they can, but there are just not enough of them to keep a constant watch on all drivers on all streets. In this case, public opinion ean make itself felt in various ways and ean be of immeasurable help to the authorities. The splasher can come from any walk of life; the size of a man's pay cheque or salary is no measure of his courtesy or social good sense. But no matter what his position, he should be told about his bad driving habits. If he is told often enough and frankly enough, it will be odd indeed if he does not change. Only the toughest repro- bates can long withstand the pressure of public opinion. Red Cross Always Ready When the Moroccan city of Agadir was devastated by an earthquake and tidal wave, a group of Red Cross doctors and nurses from 12 countries were al- ready in Morocco. They were helping 10,000 people who had been paralyzed by the use of impure cooking oil. When disaster struck Agadir, they turned im- mediately to the greater emergency, and were quickly joined by other per- sonnel from all over the world. Red Cross supplies were being loaded on aircraft within minutes of the first news of the earthquake. The Agadir tragedy provided a dramatic illustration of the world-wide work of mercy carried on by the Red Cross, right at the start of the annual Red Cross month, March. And mean- while, national Red Cross societies were pursuing their endeavors within their own countries, just as branches were * 'working within their own communities. The Oshawa Times T. L.

J. Allyn Taylor, chairman of the Red Cross national campaign commit- tee, gave a brief resume of some of the Red Cross work the other day. After referring to the 500,000 bottles of blood that will be provided by the society in Canada without eharge, he said: "Ten thousand people will be victims of fires and minor disasters and will look to the Red Cross for emergency assistance. Red Cross nurses at outpost hospitals and nursing stations will attend the births of 3,000 babies in remote parts of the nation. Thousands of articles will be produced by the women's work com- mittee to assist the less fortunate in many parts of the world. Almost 7000 Canadian women will learn simple nursing skills in Red Cross home nurs- ing elasses and more than 2,000 men, women and children will participate in Red Cross water safety projects." When a passenger train was in ¢ol- lision with a freight near Hornepayne recently, many of the injured were taken to a Red Cross outpost hospital in the little Northern Ontario community. The outpost hospitals are operated by the Red Cross until the isolated "frontier" villages ean build and support their own. Wherever there are Canadians, in their twos and threes or hundreds of thousands, there is the Red Cross. Bible Thought The Lord Jesus Christ will be re- vealed from heaven . . . taking ven- geance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel. Thessa- lonians 1:7, 8. Any real authority is a threat to those who rebel against it as well as a source of security to those who obey. [4 OTTAWA REPORT MPs Can Be Tardy For House Sessions By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- On a recent Mon- day, the bell rang as usual to summon MPs into the House of Commons at 2:30 p.m. Seven minutes later, the House was called to order by the Speaker. Twelve out of 22 rah. inet Ministers were then in their places, 60 out of 184 Conserva- tive back-bench MPs, 12 out of 49 Liberals, and 3 out of 8 CCF members. Stragglers still drifted in when the business of the na- tion was being conducted. By 2:45 p.m. the attendance had risen to 19 ministers, Conservatives, 21 Liberals and 4 CCF. Elsewhere were 130 other MPs. HONOR FOR PEARSON a Clarence Streit, the International Movement for Atlantic Union, has given me this interesting announcement: "Two of NATO's 'Three Wise Men', their chairman, the then Italian Foreign Minister, Gae- tano Martini, and the recent Canadian prime minister, Lester B. Pearson, have become honor- ary members of the Council of Atlantic Union. So too has the former French premier, Robert Schuman, father of the Schuman Plan, called 'Mr. Europe' fram his leadership in European union." General Pierre Billotte, who is chairman of Atlantic Union also announced in Paris that Lord I=- may, former British general and former secretary - general of NATO, had likewise accepted the invitation to become an honorary member of the council. Hon. Lester Pearson smiled when I told him of the slip made in describing him as our "recent prime minister." That was no slip, "Mike" cracked with nis cheerful grin; Clarence Streit just got our next election con- fused with our recent one. LEAP-YEAR TEASER The Ottawa Journal reports: "Former Mayor Stanley Lewis, Ottawa's oldest leap-year baby, president 91 other ° celebrated his '17th' birthday vesterday. Being a leap-year baby, he has to wait four years belween birthdays. He was 71 years old yesterday." Figure that out. MONEY IN THE BANK Did you open an account at vour local bank, and then forget all about the money you left there? It sounds an unlikely mistake to make, but one adult Canadian in every thousand does this each year. The Bank Act provides that each bank must advise the gov- ernment every year of sums of money lying unclaimed in idle ac- counts for nine years or more. The government has just pub- lished these , giving name and last known address of de- positor, name and address of bank, and the sum standing in each account. If the rightful own. ers do not claim these monies before the end of this year, they will be paid to the Bank of Can- ada and retained for payment to the owner Some 11,500 of the "dead" a counts, totalling $438,404.02, are listed as being inactive since 1950. They are mostly for small sums, but there are some larger ° ones, such as Mr. J. W. Sheridan of Cartierville, Que., $4,188.19; Estate of John Henry Meer, of Schreibder, $2,856.04; Christina Hill Williamson of Seattle, $18, 817.34; John Bezpalko, of Pine Portage and Nipigon, $2,431.62; and others. Then there were two gold mines who left their gold in an Ottawa bank, the Nanki Poo uold Mining Co., and the Yum Yum Gold Mining Co., evidently formed by a devotee of the Gils bert and Sullivan operetias. One strange case concerns Frantisek Pavlasek, who dis- appeared from Ottawa leaving $134.19 in his bank here; his ad- dress is given as 171 Clemow Avenue, which is the Czechoslo- vak Legation here. FOR BETTER HEALTH Causes Of Bed-Wetting Are Many And Varied HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Bed-wetting is generally an emotional rather than an organic problem in most children. Perhaps, at times, it may be a child's way of attracting attention or purposely rousing his parents' anger. But whatever the source of the trouble, enuresis, or bed- wetting, is often a sizable prob- lem. 20 PER CENT The number of children troubl- ed with these nocturnal events is estimated by some doctors to be as high as 20 per cent. Only about two per cent of the cases can be traced to organic causes. Yet even those whose irouk!s is emotional often develop consti- tutional symptoms. = Generally such youngsters are extremely excitable and have small and irritable bladdefs. NOT DAYTIME PROBLEM Now I don't mean to imply that children with emotional enuresis, or bed-wetting, can't control their bladders. Most of (hem show good control during the day- time, but still wet their beds con- sistently at night. We have drugs, of course, such ag atropine, emphetamine, the tranquilizers and others, to help your doctor to assist in curbing the enuresis. The tranquilizers re- lieve anxiety, the amphetamine helps promote light sleep and tha atropine helps to dry up a child But often we must do a great deal more than simply prescribe drugs. We must deteriaine the basis for this reaction, the mean- ing behind enuresis, if we are to treat it adequately. There can be any number of causes, such as a desire to at- tract attention or arouse anger, which I already have mentioned. Often the attention-getting me- thod is used by a jealous child. OTHER CAUSES Then, too, sometimes a young- ster who feels helpless will wel his bed to increase this feeling. It may be a symptom of regres- sion in which a child gives up on toilet training because he feels it is too difficult. Then, again, it simply gives some children plea- sure. Dr. Reginald S. Lourie, of George Washington University, reports one military method used to cure enuresis, apparently with effective results: Two enureic recruits are placed in double decker bunks without mattresses. First, one sleeps in the top bunk; then the other does. They alternate each night until the problem is solved. QUESTION AND ANSWER M. C. S.: Are aspirin and ana- cin considered to be sedatives, tranquilizers, or what? Answer: Aspirin and anacin are mild analgesic and antipyr- etic drugs that are used to relieve pain or to reduce temperature.

BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO A meeting was held in General Motors Auditorium for citizens in- terested in the organization of an Oshawa Flying Club. A. J. Howden was re-appointed treasurer of East Whitby munici- pality at a salary of $400 a year and P. G. Purvis was re-appoint- ed clerk of East Whitby at a salary of $1100. Permission to build a dairy on Colborne street east, was denied the Ideal Dairy on the grounds that it was a residential section. A. E. O'Neill, principal of OCVI1, took a leading part in the presentation of the following three one-act plays at the school. "The Message," "My Lady's Lace" and "The Romance of the Wil low Pattern." Mrs. W. N. Affleck, convener of the League of Nations' committee of Oshawa Home and School Council, was guest speaker at the Mary Street Home and School Club League of Nations night. At the Art Exhibit the following members of the Lyceum Wom- en's Art Association displayed paintings: Mrs. C. M. Rogers, Mrs. R. Henderson, Mrs. Ewart McLaughlin, Mrs. J. R. B. Cowan, Mrs, N.
