Fhe Oshavon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 6 Wednesday, September 6, 1961 Canada To Get Details Of Trade Negotiations The Canadian government ought to know on just what terms the British will be negotiating their entry into the Euro- pean Common Market by mid-Sep- tember, the Financial Times reports. The British position will be set forth at the meeting of Commonwealth gov- ernment officials at London. The actual British negotiations will start at Brus- sels in October. There is no indication of how long they will take to be com- pleted. It could be a matter of months or they might extend over a year or more, While the Canadians may find out the British position, it is unlikely the British will be any further ahead on the Canadian position than they are now, it is suggested. The Canadian gov- ernment has still not retreated from its earlier stand that a British association with the common market is quite ac- ceptable as long as Canada's preferential entry into the British markets is in no way diminished. There is no question that alterna- tives have been quietly worked out at deputy-minister levels. To what extent the cabinet has been informed of these, or has studied them, is not known. In any event, there has been no public evidence of change in government think ing. One encouraging aspect of this situ- ation is that Canadian and British officials have been exchanging informa- tion, The Canadians ought to be reason- ably well briefed on the probable cours- es the British will take well before the London talks. Canadians, accordingly, ought to be able to present their objections or counter-proposals at that time. Whether they will or not is a question. It could be that Prime Minister Diefenbaker is holding off any public policy statement until Le sees how his chances for bring- ing about a prime ministerial Common- wealth conference progresses. That ambition has not been blunted by original British indifference to it. Mr. Diefenbaker made a point of it this week. If advance talks show that Canadian agricultural exports to Britain will be jeopardized, "then a prime ministers' conference will be necessary." Defining Democracy Are women teachers sufficiently firm in their convictions to instill in children the drive necessary for man's preserva- tion? A man asking this question would be treading on dangerous ground but the subject was brought up by a woman teacher, Mrs. E. Laurene Kilgour, B.A, M. Ed., president of the 22,000-member Federation of Women Teachers' As- sociations of Ontario in an address to the federation's board of directors. Mrs. Kilgour noted that when Rus- sian teachers were visiting in Ontario schools earlier this year, they noted the lack of drive in our children as com- pared with their own. Regardless of the difference between the Russian end Canadian systems of education, there is a common point -- that of best effort toward achievement whether it be for the preservation of the Soviet system or for democratic living, Mrs. Kilgour told her board. Russia's education system in no uncer- tain terms is directed toward preserva- tion of the Soviet system and children know this; that goal is constantly before them. Ontario teachers, said Mrs. Kilgour, People With A news report the other day told of a tourist becoming suddenly ill in a town far from her own home She was taken to a doctor, who gave her a shot of penicillin -- a common treatment, but in this case the woman happened to be allergic to penicillin. Fortunately, the doctor quickly spotted the bad effect and gave her different treatment. With so many people on the move, winter as well as summer, this sort of thing is likely to happen more and more. Many of the travellers are allergic to a wide range of food, plants and drugs, and others are suffering from maladies such as diabetes, epilepsy, or other conditions that need special at- tention. The family doctor at home likely knows of the individual situation and prescribes for the condition accord- ingly. But what of the doctor who has to The Oshawa Times T. L.

Circulation for the issue of March 30, 1961 17,363 should face up to the opportunities that are given to them to educate Ontario children to their responsibilities to the democracy of Canada. It is possible that democracy, with its flexibility and adaptability has not been explained properly and in simple enough terms for all to understand why we are determined to maintain this way of living, Prime Minister Diefenbaker recogniz- ed this point in a public speech recently when he appealed to the Western na- tions to join us in drawing up a decla- ration of freedom to answer the recent Communist manifesto. "We cannot adequately answer the Communist propaganda until we publish a creed of what democracy means," said the prime minister. "A feeling of more unified action among the Allies is not enough. We need something better than a negative reaction to Communism." If visiting. members of undeveloped nations were to ask Canadians what democracy is, the answers might be highly enlightening. Most of us would have to reach for an explanation which might not be too convincing for those young nations which are now trying to set their future course. Allergies deal with a perfect stranger far from home under circumstances where he may not be able to learn from the patient the condition that must be treated specially ? Some doctors may because of train- ing or experience recognize a diabetic or even an epileptic who is not in a seizure but who needs special drugs or other treatment because of it, other doctors may not, and this is also the case with laymen trained in first aid. Lack of the required knowledge might aggravate a situation and the need for doing something about it has been raised from time to time. The latest reference is in a recent issue of the Financial Post which tells of a recently- formed non-profit group in Toronto the Canadian Medic - Alert Foundation, aimed at providing medical identifica- tion for individuals. Identification is in the form of a metal disc or bracelet, similar to one worn by service men in World War II, with the medical problem of the bearer engraved on the reverse side. A record of the numbered discs is kept at a central file of the organization's parent office in Turlock, California. We agree with the Financial Post that the idea has its merits, but to insti- tute a nation wide system of identifica- tion requires more than a voluntary effort by a comparative few. The paper refers to what has been done by the War Amputations of Can- ada in doing something similar for car keys. Could not a similar group be found to take this new project on with the active support of our medical ass sociations?

Poverty before God is a prerequisite of Christian faith, OTTAWA REPORT » driven away, Big Stick Shown But Talent Rare PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Dr. Andrew Stew- art, chairman of the Board of Broadcast Governors, gave our television stations a warning glimpse of his big stick at pub- lic hearings here last week: they must give us more Ca- nadianism. The tough Scottish-born uni- versity president, who has be- come more Canada - conscious than a native, long ago showed a needed and praiseworthy de- termination to foster all forms of entertainment art in Canada. He laid down a minimum target of Canadianism for our TV sta- tions: each must broadcast true Canadian programs for at least 55 per cent of its air time, start- ing next April. Our TV industry recognizes sadly that this large supply of 4 1 eign, cast the stated proportion of Ca- nadian material. So bad is much of this that the audience is being : and advertisers ; are planning to spend more of 4 their dollars either in print or with foreign stations which beam more attractive, but for- programs into Canadian homes.

Poard plan to enforce their reg- By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times OBAN, Scotland -- The de- velopment of a new hydro-elec- tric power scheme at Loch Awe, near the summer resort town of Oban, will be one of the most impressive of hydro-electric en- gineering feats yet attempted in the United Kingdom. The main feature of thir scheme will be the construction of a massive machinery hall, the size of a 12- storey office block right in the heart of a Scottish mountain. Known as the North of Scotland Hydro - Electric Board's Cruachan underground pumped storage power station, work on this project will be started in the near future. This station will be one of the largest projects ever under- taken by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board, and will be quite different from any of its previous undertakings. It will involve the excavation of 200,000 cubic yards of rock. Contract for the construction work has been placed with the London En- gineering firm of Edmund Nut- tall, Sons and Co., Ltd., which promises an early start. When completed, the station will be capable of producing 450 million units of electricity a year. INSIDE MOUNTAIN The machinery hall, which will house the turbines, will be about 350 feet in length and 65 feet in width. With an arch roof 120 feet above the lowest floor level, it will be formed inside Ben Cruachan, which rises to 3,689 feet above Loch Awe. As far as practicable, the granite core of the mountain will be left exposed where it forms the walls of the hall. It will house four turbines, each with a capacity of 100,000 kilowatts. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "It is far safer to shake hands than to kiss," says a bacteriolo- gist. No doubt, but what the heck -- let's live dangerously! No person is of sufficient stature to keep his feet on the ground while he has his head in the clouds. It's a great pity that the early bird doesn't eat the worm that gets up early to breakfast in the garden. ) nected to Loch Awe by a tunnel driven 3,200 feet into the side of the mountain. The distance be- tween the loch and the mountain is slightly more than the width of the Oban to Dalmally Road which passes between them. The tunnel, 23 feet in diameter, will be built under the road. Two inclined shafts, each 15 feet in diameter and approxi- mately 1,700 feet long, will con- nect with the dam at the head of the Cruachan Burn. Water will be pumped down the shafts, through the turbine and out into Loch Awe. Next to the machinery hall in- side the mountain additional ac- commodation will be provided for control and switchgear rooms, and for high-voltage transformers. A combined ven- tilating and cable shaft will connect the transformer cham- bers with a sub-station at the surface near the dam. At the same time, Dr. Stew- art--who has privately avowed that the insistence upon 55 per cent Canadian content will be re- laxed only over his dead body-- said that he will invite all ad- vertising agencies to meet with the BBG this month. He will ask them to recommend to their clients that they should sponsor one Canadian TV program for each such foreign program they sponsor over our TV stations. Thus Dr. Stewart and his ulations aimed at bringing more Canadian culture into our lives. In doing this, he will also en- courage two other worthwhile aims: first, this will slash the money we spend outside Canada on foreign entertainment; sec- ond, it will build up a nation- wide entertainment industry in Canada, which will help to keep Canadian talent fully and pa- triotically employed at home. There will be a difficult tran- sition period, while our long- neglected entertainment indus- try. is built up to the necessary level of output. The CBC is al- ready able to fill its own needs; it is the private TV stations which face these growing pains. Spokesmen here for the TV and entertainment industries are, although ready to lick their little wounds, giving full marks to the Diefenbaker government and its agency, the BBG, for striving towards this essential but overdue national target. INSIDE YOU Unusual Bleeding Calls For Doctor By BURTON H. FERN, MD The doctor looked straight at the cancer on the neck of the womb but he couldn't see it! The cancer was too small. Infection, childbirth or irrita- tion may leave the neck of the womb -- or cervix -- vulnerable to cancer. Extra female hor- mones may magnify this ten- dency. Nine out of ten silent, in- visible cancers can be cured. But no symptom sounds the alarm! To discover these lurking can- cers, your doctor merely dabs a special cotton. swab into cell filled secretions around the cer- vix. These secretions are exam- ined: under the microscope where cancer cells stand out like ugly black marks on a friendly face. TRIGGERS BLEEDING The cancer later triggers bleeding or spotting, especially after walking, marital intimacy or orthe exertion. A thick dis- charge begins as infection sets in. Without treatment, the victim follows a pain-ridden downhill course. While cancer of t he cervix strikes mainly the 40-to-50 age group, the rarer cancer of the womb lining attacks 50- to 60- year-olds. But while this cancer strikes later, bleeding and spot- ting begin sooner. Growing tumor pressure quickly gnaws through twisted tangles of blood vessels in the womb lining. Ask your doctor about any un- usual bleeding or change in your menstrual pattern. Also check with him if change of life lingers through your 50th year. SIGNALS TROUBLE This overactivity may signal cancer trouble ahead. The bleed- ing occasionally stems from a cancer that began while change of life was ending. Don't waste your time and risk your life with home rem- edies, If you have cancer of the cervix or womb, you'll need sur- gery, X-ray treatments or both. And the sooner, the better! Head off these cancers before they begin! Visit your doctor once or twice a year for routine examinations and microscopic tests. \ I's a TP Tre BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Competing in the harmonica contests at the CNE, the Motor City Harmonic Rascals and the Rotary Juniors, under the direc- tion of Mel Smith, won first and second place respectively.
