Fhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont, Page 6 Fridey, September 2, 1960 Ontario County Joins Mental Health Drive Until fairly recently, mental illness was 8 subject avoided by "nice people" who slso avoided mention of tuber. culosis and cancer, Medical researchers fought vainly egainst a public sttitude that was more frustrating than apsthy because it was based on primitive fear end suspicion, In recent years, that atti. tude has been changing, as enlightened people ded in spreading the doc. trine that mental illness is just that ~ an illness like any other that can afflict the human body, A great deal of the credit for the enlightenment must go to the Canadian Mental Health Association, working through branches such as the one in Ontario County, The dedicated people in these branches know that the battle for mental health is still in two phases; there is still the struggle sgainst wide. spread fear and suspicion es well as the campaign to provide funds for me- dical research and treatment, The Osh awa and Ontario County branch of the Mental Health Association will stage a fund-raising campaign for a week, start- ing Sept, 19, The branch is just over a year old, but it is vigorous; members will canvass industry, business, profes sional groups end other organizations end establishments, end will stage a house-to-house blitz during the week's effort, They deserve the fullest support, Modern society has developed & higher standard of living, more leisure time end many other benefits, but it has also produced its stresses and strains, All too often these reveal themselves in mental. disturbances, Moreover, mod» ern society has learned how to recognize mental illnesses more readily, instead of ignoring them, and medical scientists have probed more deeply into the causes, Gradually, but still all too slowly, better equipped institutions and clinics are bes ing provided for treatment and research, The improvements can be speeded by greater public support, The support is needed, because the problem is big and difficult, Each year in Canada more than 25,000 people are admitted to mental hospitals for the first time, and the hospitals have a total population of nearly 80,000 patients, There are many thousands of others who are being treated, or who should be treated, as out-patients, The Ontario County objective is a modest one, just $5000, That should be quickly reached and surpassed, Not Ready For UN Seat During a recent Security Council debate on developments in the Congo, Dr, Mario Amadeo, the Argentine de- legate, declared; "When a country applies for admission to this international body (the UN), it is because it feels capable to shoulder the necessary duties and res. ponsibilities with dignity, In the Security Council we expressed our conviction that the new member (Congo) would fulfill the conditions set forth in the UN Charter, Very soon, the General Assembly will have to ratify the recom. mendation, That is why the Security Council has the right to hope that its vote of confidence in the capacity of the Congo to govern itself will not be overturned by events" The Congo is in a state of anarchy, The Lumumba government is wholly irresponsible and incompetent, and re. tains only the shreds of authority, The Congo in fact does not have an operative government, Not by the wildest stretch of sympathy can it be considered fit for UN membership and the acceptance of the responsibilities of that member. ship, The Security Council recommended membership when it appeared that the Congo would move into independence with the same dignity of other young African states, When the UN General Assembly reconvenes Sept, 20, it will be confronted by that recommendation, In the meantime a great deal has hap- pened, starting with bloody July 7 «= the very day that the Security Council decided that the Congo was "capable and willing to uphold all the obligations which the UN places upon its members," On that day native soldiers and police mutinied and went on a rampage of rape, killing and vandalism, Since then tribe has started to fight tribe, UN soldiers have been brutally attacked, and the former postal clerk and con. victed thief, Patrice Lumumba, has shamed and shocked other Africans and frustrated the UN with his childish im- pertinence and incompetence, To admit such a strife-ridden and leaderless region to UN membership as a "nation" would be to make a mockery of the Charter and weaken the prestige that the UN has built through the diffi cult and dangerous postwar years, Tough Weekend Ahead Attorney-General Kelso Roberts has marshalled all police forces in the pro. vince for an all-out effort to keep traffic moving in a safe and sensible way this coming Labor Day weekend, Leaves and days off have been cancelled for the entire Ontario Provincial Police force of 19860 men; in addition to its fleet of 875 patrol cars and 40 motorcycles, the OPP will use a helicopter to assist in patrolling main routes, Mr, Roberts has also called on all municipal pelice forces for strict enforcement of traffic in their areas, In his announce. ment Mr, Roberts said: "Statistics covering our OPP-patrolled highways show that children are the heaviest losers as a result of traffic accidents, More than one-quarter of the he Oshawa Times T.
