Fhe Osan Times | Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Monday, April 18, 1960 Citizens' Groups Fight For 'Breathing Space' People in this part of Ontario have begun to show an interest in the prob- lems of water pollution, urban sprawl and land use. Unfortunately, the inte- rest so far is mild and there is no great surge of public opinion to force action by municipal and provincial authorities. Apparently the situation must deterior- ate before there is such a surge. Suppose we look at what has hap- pened elsewhere. New Englanders have suddenly begun to realize that unless they take immediate action the spraw- ling cities and townships of the United States' eastern seaboard will merge into one huge, unplanned "Atlanticopolis." The chief sanitary engineer of Massa- chusetts told the first New England Conservation Conference this month that water usage is so great there that there is no possibility of streams remain- ing pure. Unless municipal engineers can successfully desalt the sea, he says, future US. water supplies may have to be piped in "from hitherto untapped resources in Canada." He was recently approached by an industrial organiza- tion asking to be supplied with 50 mil- lion gallons of water 'daily. Metropolitan Boston, considered to consist of some 65 cities and towns, has had a green belt of sorts since 1937. Knows as the Bay Circuit, it rings Boston at a radius of between 15 and 20 miles, . Year by year it has been disappearing. Schools have been built on land set aside for recreation. New express high ways ribboning from city to city cut into parklands. Then follow the car lots, garages, drive-ins, and, of course, houses. Men and women are beginning to act locally in New England. Banding together in Green Belt Councils and Town Conservation Councils, they are joining in the fight to save unspoiled land from further encroachment, to save their remaining breathing space from the urban sprawl. They have been saddened and angered by the bulldozer destruction of quiet beauty. The face a massive task -- a much bigger task than now faces the people along the north shore of Lake Ontario. But we will be in exactly the same spot if we do not insist now on better pro- vincial planning and more co-operation between municipalities. SOVIET TV CRITICIZED BY PRAVDA em NEWIPAPER.

That tribute is in the magazine's article about the retirement from active industrial management of H. G. Hilton, a man who is known, and not in Canada alone, as Canada's leading steelman. "Canada's No. 1 steelman" says "Time", "moves up and out of his job as operating head of the nation's biggest steel company. Hugh Gerald Hilton, 71, becomes chairman of the board of The Steel Company of Canada, leaving his old job as chief executive officer to President Vincent Scully . . . As boss of Stelco, Hilton insisted on generous plowbacks of profits for plant expansion and technological innovations. Higher wages long ago outran Stelco price in- creases, but Hilton's blast-furnace re- finements, some of which have been adopted among the ten U.S. steel com- panies that are bigger than Stelco, held production costs down." Mr. Hilton's special knowledge of blast furnace operation is a product of long experience, although he started in steel almost by accident. He was born in Strathroy, Ontario, and in 1910 he held a brand new diploma as a mining engineer from the Case School of Ap- plied Science at Cleveland, Ohio. For- tunately, as it turned out, jobs in mining were few that year and he was glad to be taken on as a blast furnace laborer in a Cleveland steel mill at a wage of $2.10 for a 12-hour day. By 1919 he was at Hamilton as assistant blast fur- nace superintendent. When H. G. Hilton went to Stelco the company was nine years old and its output was 289,000 tons of steel annu- ally. This year the company is cele- brating its 50th anniversary and annual production now is nearly 2,500,000 tons. As noted by the "Time" article, Stelco's policy has emphasized the re-investment of earnings; it is estimated that to dupli- cate the facilities built during Mr. Hil- ton's years with the company would cost between 400,000,000 and $500, 000,000. Stelco is the largest of Can- ada's four integrated steel producers-- the others are Dofasco, also at Hamilton; Dosco, at Sydney, Nova Scotia; Algoma Steel at Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario -- and Stelco accounts for more than 40 per cent of the country's total produc- tion. The re-investment of its earnings by the steel industry has paid big dividents for Canada. In this era no country can be strong industrially without steel- making capacity. Today Canada ranks seventh in the world in steel production and, except for some special types, this country is self-sufficient in steel. Ontario Racket Squad 'The Ontario Attorney-General has an- nounced plans for the formation of an anti-rackets squad to operate through- out the province. It will be separate from the Ontario Provincial Police anti- gambling squad and other special de- tails and will be able to track down those who pervert seemingly ligitimate business enterprises into traps which bilk the unwary. The various Better Business Bureaus, Chambers of Commerce, legitimate trade agencies, responsible publications and law enforcement agencies have been combating the evils of the sharpies who The Oshawa Times T.

Hardly a week passes but some new scheme is introduced into this area de- signed to bilk the gullible. It is a -sad commentary on the public at large that they will permit themselves to be lured away from legitimate business opportu- nities and into thie nefarious traps which are cloaked with "get-rich-quick" gloss, the Galt Reporter remarks. The anti-rackets squad will have to be composed of officers skilled in legi- timate business and they will have to be good detectives. They will need to know the modus operandi of mary of the confidence men and women who are roaming the province, promoting their schemes and then vanishing, But above all they will need the full co-operation of the public. The farmer who is offered stocks on promotions he never heard of, should notify the squad. So should the widow who is told her chimney is in bad repair, or the coupon signer who sends for a machine that will make a fortune at home. Mer- chandise discount coupons which are not specifically offered by the merchants mentioned should be viewed with caution. Ever since somebody tried to sell Brooklyn bridge there have been weird schemes offered to the public. We should all knows that there is little in 'this world that we get for free. If more people would look skeptically upon the opportunities offered to them for quick wealth, there would be little need for the new anti-rackets squad. More Forceful Safety Effort Dear Sir: In a recent editorial you com- mented very mildly and indirect- ly on the accidents which will happen during the coming sea- son. You also quote the All- Canadian Insurance Federation advising safety while motoring. No one can deny the need of such advice. To me this is a good example of what is com- monly called shadow boxing. If the writer is really sincere why not come out openly and declare war on accidents? If in industry, or through dis- ease, men, women and children were maimed or killed as they are now by the automobile, edi- tors would be the first to de- mand that suitable safety regu- lations be enforced, May 1 add further one true fact, which we can all agree on today. If cars were driven at a sensible speed, the occupants of the same, would seldom be injured and certainly never killed. In the same edition there is a picture of two cars coming together. Regardless of who was to blame, if they had been travelling at safety speed the passengers would not have been hurt. In another column you pub- lished without comment, *'Speed Limits Raised." If the battle on our streets and highways is to be won between humanity: and the automobile, the press will have to go into action. No shadow boxing. Oshawa C. A. SADLER. CENTENNIAL Dear Sir: Central Public School in Peter- borough will be observing its Centennial on June 3 and 4, 1960. When the school opened in 1860 it was described as "the finest example of Italian renaissance architecture in Upper Canada" and it has been in continuous use ever since. We would be grateful if you would publish this letter so that former pupils may learn of our plans and, we hope, attend the festivities which include a dinner on June 3 at which it is hoped that former pupil, Hon. Lester B. Pearson, will be a guest. We would appreciate it if for- mer pupils would send their names and addresses to the prin- cipal, Mr. D. T. Crawford, at the school, MRS. R. W.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON--In August of this year, Canada and the United States will be invaded by some 650 British lawyers, many of them accompanied by their wives and children. The whole party will total about 1300 peo- ple. Thirteen airliners have been chartered for transport of mem- bers of this legal party, and those who do not fly across the Atlantic will travel in four ocean liners. It will be the biggest pil- grimage of its kind ever sponsor. ed by the British Law Society. Three years ago, a large party of members of the American Bar Association came to Britain, and were guests of the British body. This year's trip, according to Sir Thomas Lund, secretary of the British Bar Association, is in the nature of a return visit, The project has been enthusias. tically supported by British law- yers, and the response has been splendid, he added. NOTED VISITORS Some notable members of the British Bar will be included in the party, including the , Lord Chancellor, Lord Kilmuir and the Master of the Rolls, Lord Evershed. Both of them will be accompanied by their wives. The solicitors will be led by Denys Hicks, of Bristol, who is to be elected president of the Law So- ciety this summer. Several judges will also be making the trip to the United States and Canada. The visiting jurists will be guests of the American Bar As- sociation in Washington from August 28 to September 2. They will be received by President Eisenhower at the White House. They will then be guests for a few days at the homes of Ameri- can lawyers in 12 different cities of the United States. VISIT TO CANADA After the program in the Unit- ed States, the 1300 visitors will travel to Canada and will con- verge on Ottawa, where they will be the guests of the Canadian Bar Association. One of the im- portant events in which they will take part in the Canadian capi- tal is a conference of lawyers from all parts of the Common- wealth, which is scheduled to be held there in the early part of September. At the close of the Ottawa proceedings, many of the party will spend some time visit- ing other parts of Canada.

Whattam, president; OTTAWA REPORT Government Fails In Public Relations By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Canada's most eostly and elaborate information staff has yet again proved itself a stumblebum in handling its only job. 1 refer to the $21,000,000 ap- paratus employed in government departments here to perform rou- tine public relations and informa- tional chores for the federal go- vernment, The history of the Diefenbaker government to date is largely that of a conscientious group of ministers courageously facing the toughest economic and mili- tary problems in our history; making the right decisions after prolonged consideration, even though not always leading to cheap popularity; but time after time seeing their actions damned as foolish, irresponsible and dam- aging by their opposition. VIVID PAST EXAMPLES Such criticism flooded over the government when it terminated the four hundred million dollar programme to build an already obsolete aircraft; when it re- fused to sanction quasi-military force to break a loggers' strike; when it set an anti-inflation ex- ample tg the country by holding the line against unrequited wage demands by the civil service; and when it decided to limit our small immigration flow to workers possessing needed crafts and skills, and hold off unproduc- tive old women. In each case, the parliament: ary opposition made hay, and the mass media crucified the govern. ment. But in every case the government had made the de- cision which every loyal Cana- dian would have wished it to make. The government's expla- Ch . y lations work will always fall ; short of the perfect. For by def- Liberal - orientated official, but they can even point the finger directly at the suspected man. The most recent case of the total collapse of the government information machine of course concerns the decision to use the Bomarc anti-aircraft missile as our front line defence until anti- missile missiles have been per. fected. In the absence of comprehen- sive information, critics lam- basted the government on the basis of conjectures based on part truths. Yet our department of national defence has the lar- gest public relations staff of any government office, complete with senior army, navy and air force officers who either know or can ascertain the true facts to inform journalists and broadcasters and even politicians, NO ROOM FOR AMATEURS It would be charitable to pre- sume that it is through lack of central guidance and inspiration that senior government informa- tion officers are fumbling their Jobs, as they never did when Their Master's Voice was liberal, But it would be realistic to re- cognize that, even under ideal circumstances, these government employees engaged in public re- be a ! operator. inition a civil servant can never t public relat This suggests a simple solu. j tion. When a business corpora- | tion has need of a public rela- i tions job, it hires professionals; it does not dress up its own in- experienced clerks and steno- graphers in gray flannel suits, and entrust the highly skilled job to their untrained hands. When the government needs a medical doctor or a physicist for speciale ized work, it does mot draft a farmer or a sailor. Why then should our govern- ment not dismantle this costly apparatus within the civil service ranks, and hire experienced and . competent, public relations agen- cies to perform these tasks? This would benefit the taxpayer by saving a large slice of the pres- ent $21,000,000 annual bill; it would benefit Canada, by ensur- ing more competent public rela- tions work; and it would benefit many civil servants by releasing them for the other work for which they are better suited.

FOR BETTER HEALTH The Hows And Whys Of Blood Transfusions HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Blood transfusions are pretty much routine these days and generally present no great prob- lem. Still, careful checks are neces- sary to make sure the correct type-of blood is administered and that there are not general reac- tions by the patient receiving the blood. LOSS OF: PLASMA Transfusions may be given with whole blood, with plasma or with 'packed cells" from which most of the plasma has been re- moved. Plasma is given when there has been loss of plasma into the tissues but no loss of red cells. This usually is the case in in- juries such as burns. The 'packed cells" are given when we must increase the hemo- giobin content of the blood with- out greatly increasing the circu- lating volume of blood. Severe ¢nemia is a case in which such a transfusion might be used. FOUR GROUPS Most of you know, I'm sure, that there are four blood groups A, B, O and AB. Now plasma alone may be given in relatively small amounts without regard to the blood group of either the donor or the re- cipient. However, when cells are trans- fured, they must be compatible We must take great care that the cells of the donor do not con- tain an agglutinogen which, when combined with the agglutinin of the patient's plasma, will result in dissolution of the red blood corpuscles. BLOOD TYPE CHECKED Naturally, we must know the blood types of both the patient and the donor before a trans- fusion is attempted. Even after this grouping is made, a cross check should be performed be- fore the actual transfusion. Generally, type O blood can be used in just about any trans- fusion. However, there are ad- verse reactions in some cases in which type O plasma is adminis- tered to patients with other blood types. RISK OF DEATH If incompatible blood is admin- istered, thé recipient's tempera- ture will rise, his pulse will be- come slow and then rapid, and death may occur quickly. Even when the correct blood type is used in the transfusion, complications sometimes result in high fevers and considerable stiffness. One word to would-be blood donors: don't even try to donate blood if you have a com- municable disease or if you have a severe allergy. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. R.
