he Oshavon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Wednesday, April 13, 1960 Assassination Weapon Politically Immature No matter what one's opinion of the policies of South Africa's Premier Ver- woerd, there could only be shock and revulsion at the attempt to assassinate him. One can only be thankful that the attempt was made by a white man, and not a black. Had a native tried to take the prime minister's lite, there is no tell- ing what wave of bloody violence would have swept across the country. Verwoerd has become a new symbol of bigotry and tyranny. Headlines in the world's newspapers reflected public opinion: "Shots at the Hitler of South Africa" in Vienna; "Shot Against the Tyrant", in Stockholm; "The Tyrant Topples" in London. Such were the head- lines in responsible newspapers publish- ed in the capitals of a score of countries. The comment that went with them showed that while there was little sympathy for Védrwoerd himself, there was condemnation of the method. Assassination is a political instrument of political immature people, of people who think a problem can be solved by J There is no dispute between West and East (meaning the Soviet Union) about the desirability of disarmament. The argument is about the ways of achieving disarmament. But in the dis- cussions that have been going on, there has been one notable absence -- the great power in the Far East, China. We have a habit of assuming that if the Western powers and the Soviet Union agreed to a workable plan of disarma- ment, all nations would forthwith dis- arm and defence industries would turn to manufacturing for peace. That is not so. Some smaller nations would undoub- tedly cling to their two-bit armies; they could be ignored. But a power like China' is something else -- and China is in no mood to disarm. It is probable that China will soon have nuclear weapons. It has the world's largest population to support a huge military force. An armed China in. a disarmed world would be the equivalent of a mink in a hen house. The theoretical journal of the Chinese Communist central committee is in the current an article that Western intelligence experts believe re- flects the views of the Chinese leaders. issue carries ink In The ER ARR PA ET bloodletting, just as children try to settle differences by bloodying each other's noses. That is why assassination always comes as a shock to those countries which have sprung from the British political root. Canadians, for example, have always been puzzled and dismayed by attacks on presidents of the United States, and it is inconceiv- able to them that it should ever be necessary for the prime minister to be surrounded by squads of bodyguards and secret service men whenever he ventured forth in public. The man who tried to kill Verwoerd must have been mentally disturbed, and medical evidence supports this opinion. The incident illustrates the stupidity and futility of assassination as an imagined solution to a problem. Verwoerd is now something of a martyr to his followers, and may have gained the sympathy of many who had dis- liked the man. His death would not relieve the blacks of one bit of their ¢ burden. Hen House The article argues directly agains Khrushchev's demands for disarmament. It states that "Lenin taught us that in an era of imperialism, the system of imperialism is the source of war ... To imperialists peace is nothing more than an interval between two wars." Communist China, it goes on, will not stop demanding Formosa, for "to repu- diate civil war, or to forget about it, would mean sinking into extreme oppor- tunism and renouncing Socialist revolu- tion." The article makes strange reading, in view of Khrushchev's public statements inside and outside Russia about peace and disarmament. Western intelligence experts do not claim that it reveals a great split between the Communist powers, but they do see it 'as an indica- tion of China's determination to pursue the hard line in opposition to Khrush- chev's soft line. It illustrates, too, the futility of trying to exclude China from world councils -- unless the Soviet Union and the West are prepared to force all other nations to accept their disarmament agreements, and the possi- bility of that seems more remote than the agreements. Abused Traffic Devices A great deal is said about abuses of courtesy and safety regulations by motorists, but the motorists can be abused, too. Devices for traffic control, for example, can mislead the motorist and create hazards if they are not used with understanding. m The subject of controls is discussed by Roy D! Cowley, director of the On- tario Transport traffic engineering branch, in the current bulle- tin, Ontario Traffic Safety. He points out that recognition by the motorist of control devices is imperative, but the devices, if improperly used or impro- perly installed, place the motorist at a disadvantage. He writes: "The Highway Traffic Act requires that every signal installation must be approved by the Department of Trans- port. There are possibly many installa- tions which have not been approved. This could place the municipality in a difficult legal position. . . "The Highway Traffic Act also states that one signal head for each direction of traffic must be attached to a pole he Oshawa Times ¥. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manager €.

This section of the Act has been literally interpreted with two un- fortunate results. (A) The signals are placed so that the indications are too far to the right to be effectively seen by the motorist; or the indications are obliterated by the background of multi- colored flashing advertising signs. (B) A two-way signal head is attached to a mast arm projecting diagonally into the intersection. Item (A) forces poor observance by the motorist. Item (B) results in a non-standard, but legal, ins- tallation. Both require adjustments by the motorist. "Another example is a home-made centre-suspended signal . . . The signal lenses are flat glass resulting in an al- most invisible signal indication. It is an extreme challenge to the motorist to recognize, lét alone observe this signal. "The Highway Traffic Act requires that stop signs be installed at designated through highways. A 'through' highway should really be just that . .. Yet stop signs appear to be used without this intention in many areas. The system of interspacing the stop signs every two blocks, sometimes called the alternating two-block grid system, is popular. The use of stop signs as speed control de- vices, deliberately interfering with traffic flow on an arterial, also occurs. The intended use of the streets is forgot- ten, with the result that all streets must be developed to the same standard or classification. This is uneconomical, un- fair to the motorist, frustrating to local residents, and is. basically poor plan- ning." Bible Thought Now God had brought Daniel into fa- vour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.--Daniel 1:9, The name DANIEL means "God is my judge." This young Hebrew lived to please God, even in a heathen court. His consistent life was admired by a leader of the royal house. IT MEAN APL "OTTAWA REPORT THE CAPETOWN CANUTE Canadian Wife Worth Her Weight In By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Could you afford your wife at her rnarket value? The price tag put on an Ameri- can farm wife by a study at Washington State University is $2,080 a year. This is for a surely unrealistic 40 - hour work- ing . week for 52 weeks in the year, In contrast, an estimate of the cost of replacing the housekeep- ing, nursing and baby - sitting services of a wife and mother, in a home containing a husband and two young children, produced the figure of $6,285 for a 70 - hour working week throughout the year. Some six years ago, the Women's Institute of Ontario heard an agricultural economist assess the value of a farm wife to her husband as $69,000 throughout their married part- nership. This would make any wife, except a mere slip of a girl weighing 123 pounds or less, worth less than her weight in gold -- which is obviously ab- surd. ITS WORK, WORK, WORK The average Canadian mixed farmer hears of city folks' 40- hour working week as a liveli- hood only just this side of Para- dite, and turns sadly back to his own double - week of more than 80 hours, spent husbanding his land through the open season and nursing his livestock through the bitter winter in his barn, His wife-partner is on the go just as ceaselessly, seven days in every week. Her 14 daily hours of mixed chyres add up to a 98-hour work- ing week. IL would be an ill-fa- voured woman indeed who could not average 80 cents an hour to- day in any Canadian city for the tasks which a farm wife per- forms. If she were "organized" into the "Amalgamated Bird's Eye, Aunt Jemima, Hoover, and dish-, clothes-, and baby-washers' Union," her pay would be in- creased to time and one-half for ra PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "The average person who mar- { ried doesn't know the ABC of Gold matrimony," says a sociologist. And no one ever learns the X of Pit overtime, with double - pay for Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Perhaps one should deduct $10 a week, as the value of raw food and unserviced lodging provided for her, but made consumable only through her own courteous and efficient self-service, So in her average married life of 40 years, the farm wife con- tributes labour worth $235,456. Her typical cily sister probably matches this figure, MEN CANNOT COMPLAIN The greatest racket Man has ever put across any other of God's creatures enables the as- tute male to bind a robust maiden to him and his home, with a gold ring worth perhaps no more than $25. In exchange for his bauble and his name, that maiden con- tributes nearly a quarter of a million dollars worth of labor, with love as a bonus. For all his scientific brilliance in emulating the Creator's satels lites in the sky, Man has failed to perfect a gadet which will minister to his assorted needs, in health and in sickness, yet which can be primed by a $25 ring and kept refuelled with kind words and a kiss. Yet this factotum which men 80 misuse is a cheap article to produce, in comparison to the value of her output. From maternity ward to mat- rimony, an average of $500 a Man is a tough and resource- ful animal. If he weren't, he couldn't survive in a world domi- nated by that cruel and danger- ous animal, Man.

All things considered, the Canadian wife, on farm or in city, repays her development costs in two years. Those arid professors at Wash- ington State University have grossly undervalued this pearl beyond price. Or perhaps the typical Canadian wife, whom Ca- nadian Man half-heartedly poises on his mental pedestal, well knowing that she--God bless her --does not expect to recline with hands folded when she has been placed there, FOR BETTER HEALTH One Doctor's Theory On Cause Of Cancer HERMAN. N. BUNDESN MD Is cancer caused by a virus? It could be, according to one theory currently being studied in our quest to solve the cancer problem. And if this theory is correct, it might ven be possible to develop a drug to combat the villainous virus BASED ON ANALOGIES Dr. S. E. Luria, a cancer re- searcher of many years' exper- ience, bases his virus theory more on analogies than on firm knowledge about the relationships between viruses and cancer. Dr. Luria looks at it this way: Many" scientists generally be- lieve that viruses cause a dozen or so animal cancers. In most cases, this belief rests largely on evidence that extracts of cancers induce cancer when they are in- jected into susceptible animals. CAN'T BE FOUND It may be that in some can- cers there are viruses that can- not be found because, as temper- ate viruses, they have become more or less a permanent part of the cell's genes. Thus the theory that they divide only when the cell divides. Perhaps these endow cells with the trait of rapid and wuncon- trolled growth, the prominent fea- ture of cancer. Now we know that the virus DNA sometimes leaves a new ehemical marker on the skin of the cell it infects in bacteria. We aiso know how to produce anti- bodies to fight against some of esese new chemicals, SOMETIMES STOPS GROWTH The antiserum which contains these "antibodies does, in some cases, stop the growth of the cells, If cancer viruses -- if there are any -- leave similar mark- ings on the skins of cancer cells, then it might be possible to de- velop an antiserum to fight against them. There also is another way in which viruses could cause can- cer, according to Dr. Luria's views. ANOTHER THEORY This theory holds that there may be cells in the body, the function of which is to prevent the development of cancer cells If a virus kills these controlling cells, or if it otherwise renders them incapable of control powers, then cancer cells might develop by some kind of spontaneous mu- tation. As I said before, right now these are just theories. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. P. C.: My doctor has ad- vised a complete conization of my cervix Would this mean the end of sex relations for me?
