Fhe Dshavon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 6 Friday, September 8, 1961 To Make Parents Cover Children's Vandalism Delegates at the recent gathering of the Ontario Municipal Association en- dorsed a Peterborough resolution which calls on the Ontario government to amend provincial legislation and make parents financially responsible for de- liberate destruction of public property by their children. A ceiling of $200 was suggested so that courts will not hesitate to assess damages against parents. This is a sensible and necessary step towards the curbing of the vandalism which now plagues municipalities. Here in Oshawa park equipment has been destroyed, flower beds ravished, turf mutilated, schools entered and damaged. Alert police work has resulted in the apprehension of many of the culprits, and some of them may be have changed their ways. But an assessment against the parents would serve a double purpose: The parents would undoubted- ly take a much greater interest in the curious activities of their children (perhaps even set them a better example), and the taxpayers in general would not be called on to pay for the mischievous entertainment of a grubby few. The Peterborough Examiner has another suggestion: "The publication of the names of vandals, at present forbidden by law, would have a pro- found effect on both parents and their young vandals. The courts could also consider sentencing voncieted vandals _to compulsory work in parks and recre- ation areas to give them some idea of the trouble and inconvenience they have caused." We agree. It should not be forgotten, however, that not all the vandalism can be blamed on children. Youths and young men must share part of the blame -- particularly the young bums who acquire a liking for liquor. These certainly should be put to work, repair- ing the damage they have caused, as part of the penalty for their stupid destructiveness. Indeed, it would be the first decent, honest work performed by a good many of them. Getting Rid Of Butier According to a report from Ottawa, federal authorities are considering dis- posing some of its huge butter surplus to the baking industry at a price. that might even be below cost. The report states that as of July 1, the government had 119,500,000 pounds of creamery butter in storage--bought up under the government price support program. It also had another 27,700,000 pounds of butter oil converted from its natural state by a new process. The surplus has come about because the government subsidy has held the retail price of butter far above that of butter substitutes. And because of the high cost of living more than anything else, the average person will choose the more economically priced article no matter whether he would prefer the more expensive one or not. Undoubtedly the government would be happy to dispose of the major part of its butter stocks and be rid of butter storage and storage costs, over and above the amount paid for unsold stocks on store shelves. But, as the Woodstock Sentinel- Review asks, if it is to consider giving it to the baking industry at a reduced rate, and has even been in consultation with representatives of the baking in- dustry, why has it not given some consideration to the greatest baker of them all -- the modern housewife ? There may be arguments in favor of continued price support for butter, but the consistently high surplus in storage would seem to suggest that some other method is better. Dairy interests have tried to draw attention to the more favorable points in butter, and at times they appear to have made an impres- sion, The continued surplus, however, would indicate that this has not lasted long enough, under the pressure of a continued, artificial high price. Before the Canadian public has lost its taste for butter altogether the matter of butter consumption should be thoroughly reviewed. Protests against changing the status quo by dairy in- terests are not enough. Reporting The Weather Everybody talks about the weather and now someone is for doing something about some of those who do. The some- one is a Chamber of Commerce at a U.S. Summer resort, which has attacked "opinionated" weather reports. These. are said to cost resort owners in one area $1,000,000 a year. A United States Weather Bureau expert believes the Chamber of Com- merce complaints are inspired by radio and television broadcasters who ignore official forecasts in favor of their own opinions. By broadcasters, that is, who judge what kind of day it is less by which quarter the wind blows from than by which side of the bed they got out of. As with other problems in public communication the key here may be found in a "clear" (resort owners like that word) division between fact and feeling, the Christian Science Monitor suggests. Also in use of such technically preferred terms as "precipitation" in- stead of "rain." The latter word suggests @he Oshawa Fimes 7. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manager C.

Circulation for the issue of March 30, 1961 17,363 an old rhyme helpful mainly to the umbrella business but no one thinks of saying "Precipitation, precipitation go away and come again in some other 24-hour period." Of course it depends from which end of the excursion road you look, or listen, People who just want to know if it's going to rain often wonder why weather- men talk cloudily about "low troughs" end "high pressure areas" and never say a word about what most of us think of as weather, This approach doubtless results from the desire to be factual and, as resort owners hope, "fair." One small hostelry in Bermuda used to keep the barometer hand on back- ward during the rainy season so that it pointed always to a pleasant day tomorrow. No one is asking weather forecasters to engage in handsprings. On the other hand, neither resort owners nor weatherwary patrons see why a fore- caster must sound like an off-beat Hamlet. To go or not to go -- that is a question they prefer to see settled with a minimum of advice from the loud-speaker however much he may fancy his own eloeutionary powers.

Fred M. Cass, as PC leader. Mr. Cass, at time of writing, has not declared himself. How- ever, he must be seriously con- sidered. If he runs he will be an important contender. Mr. Cass is an interesting study. A short, cocky, aggres- sive lawyer, he has shown in Highways that he can get things done. He comes from eastern On- tario and in part follows the Conservative pattern traditional to that area. He does many small favors for many small people and assidu- ously caters to the political needs of the private members. SPEAKS FRANKLY Yet he also acts contrary to the pattern. He will speak his mind quite frankly--often does, in fact--and apparently doesn't care whom he might offend. He is pretty much of a "loner" compared to the usual cabinet minister. He operates his own depart- ment with a hands-off attitude. Yet he is generally well re- spected by the members. You can quite easily see Mr. Cass as a leader. He is unquestionably a "boss." And he is an excellent execu- tive with a quick mind, reten- tive memory, the ability to be concise, the capacity to get quickly through to a point and able to delegate authority. But beyond this there must be the question: Is he more than an administrator? Has he the imag- ination to produce the answers to the complex political and so- cial problems of today? And quite frankly there really isn' the evidence on which to judge here. Mr. Cass's political experience hasn't thrown him against these problems. And from his charac- ter as it has been on public dis- play there isn't the material on which to form a judgment. From his temperament one REPORT FROM U.K. Heart Operations In Deep Freeze' By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON---Surgeons at Guy's Hospital, in London, have per- fected a new "deep-freeze" tech- nique in heart operations, and have reported remarkable suc. cess with it. As a result of this success, '"'stopped heart" sur- gery has once again become possible and practicable. A previous technique, in which the heart was stopped by the use of chemical injections, was abandoned by the surgeons when it was found that it left some muscle damage. In the new type of operation, the details of which are given in the laiest issue of "The Lane cet", the heart is surrounded by crushed ice, which brings it to a standstill for long periods, 36 SUCCESSES So far, 36 operations using the new technique have been car ried out at Guy's hospital. These have been operations on pa tients with holes in their hearts, with blocked heart valves and other defects. All were sucess ful, and none left any impair ment of the heart when It was restarted. The new technique was de vised by a South African-born surgeon, Donald Ross: He and his team of assistants used il first to relieve blockages in the main valve leading out of the heart. Now they are using it as routine practice in many heart cases, and with success. HOW IT IS DONE The ice used is frozen salt water which is prepared in plas- tic drums. The surgeons also use a heart-lung machine to keep the body circulation going while the heart is at a stand- still. The article in "The Lan- cet" gives the details of how it is done. First the blood circulated in the body through the heart-lung machine is cooled down by pass- ing it through a cold solution. Then the ¢érushed ice is placed around the heart, which stops beating . within about a minute. The heart i) be kept at a up to an air, hour by replenishing the ice. Its temperature drops to 59 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 39 degrees below normal. To restart the heart, the clamps which separate it from the main blood stream are re- leased and warm blood allowed to circulate through it. This starts the heart beating nor- mally again. In the article in "The Lancet" Mr. Ross says that operating conditions inside the deep-freeze heart have been ideal. would say he might be short in this field. But really this is not much more than a guess Politically, also, he might have a handicap in his brusque man- ner. But this is somewhat com- pensated for by his force and vi- tality. Consensus: One would say that Mr. Cass would give "good" government, It would be politi. cally tinged and might lack im- agination. His best chance would be as a compromise candidate. He is one man who might satisfy all the conflicting groups in the party. BYGONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Collection of customs at the Port of Oshawa during August was $734,672.43.

FERN, M.D. BITSY has to go to the heart eliniec even though she doesn't have heart trouble! That bout of rheumatic fever didn't attack her heart, but doctors want to be sure. Like a silent commando, rheumatic fever sometimes secretly in. vides the heart, Even then, the murmur soon fades, The real trouble may not show up for years. Slowly, shrinking scars from that old rheumatic fever inflammation warp and twist delicate heart valves, freezing them open or closed. The mitral valve--two flaps guarding the entrance to that muscular chamber which pumps blood through the body --seems especially vulnerable. WHAT HAPPENS A half - closed mitral valve can't let in all the oxygen-rich blood returning from the lungs. Blood is dammed back into the lungs where tiny vessels bulge and bleed, making you cough up fresh blood. Circulation slows, leaving you tired all the time. Exercise or hard work makes you gasp for As pressure builds in these vessels, fluid seeps out and fills the lungs. But no one need drown. Like a true lifesaver, the surgeon can rescue any drown- ing victim. He simply pokes his finger into that sticky valve to cut or stretch it. When scarred mitral valves can't close every heartbeat whooshes blood back toward the lungs. The heart has to race and pound to deliver its usual quota. HEART HANDLES IT This cardiac work-out soon builds up every stretched heart muscle fibre. The heart can usually take care of this open- valve problem. Germs love to settle on these scarred valves and, once there, they're hard to evict. These germs float around in almost every mouth. While the dentist mixes his batter, they often sneak in through gaping molars waiting to be filled. Betsy understands this and doesn't cry at that jumbo in- jection of penicillin she has to have before going to the dent- ist. She just grits her teeth and smiles! ' Mouth-Watering Place On Ottawa River Cliff OTTAWA (CP) -- The Royal Canadian Mint is a heavily guarded castle - like building erected in 1908 on a cliff over looking the Ottawa River. Molten gold pours from red- hot cauldrons and dimes, nickels, pefnies and silver dol- lars chatter through dozens of machines of every shape and size. Guards check each person in and out of the rambling struc- ture where Canada's coins are made and her gold refined. A stroll through the plant with Mint Master Norval Parker is a mouth - watering experience. You can stand in an iron- gated, walk-in vault filled with silver and gold in gleaming bars refined from crude ore sent to the mint from mining companies across Canada. You can look at a small cart piled high with gold bricks--worth $1,000,000--each. about twice the size of a pound of butter. BIGGEST REFINERY "It's the biggest gold refinery n North America," Mr. Parker said proudly. Last year it processed 4,024, 626 fine ounces of gold and 572,993 fine ounces of silver-- worth $87,424 558. The general public is never allowed into the refining sec- tion, sealed off by electroni- cally-operaied doors. Employ- ees working on the big blast furnaces and in refining labora- tories are carefully screened. Refinery and coin production workers each have a special locker in which they keep their work clothes. They aren't per- PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Even though there are times when it would seem that life isn't worth living, the chances are that it beats dying 40 ways.

"If anything is missing the boys are held until a check is made," said Mr. Parker, 52- year-old native of Ottawa who has been with the mint since 1935. But, he added, this hap- pens rarely. BURN REFUSE No refuse ever leaves the building. It could contain pre- cious metal. Dust and waste are burned within the mint. Whne work clothes are worn out they too are burned. Growing popular as a tourist attraction, the mint had 37,000 visitors--by appointment only --last year. Chains regulate their route through the plant. Manufacture of the coins in what Mr. Parker described as "one of the most up-to-date mints in the world" starts with few copper, silver, zinc and n. The coin alloys are made at the plant and rolled into huge sheets from which coins are punched, much like cookies be- ing cut from dough, at a rate as Sigh as 2,500 a minute, e bianks are washed, dried, nyo, ished, hardened and softened in a multitude of machines and processes before being pressed between chrome-plated, hard- ened steel dies to become coins. EXACT WEIGHT The finished coins must be 'the' exact legal weight and free of imperfections. Last year the mint ' produced a record 186,121,753 coins. Dies are continually being destroyed to avoid imperfect- ions which would make coins valuable to collectors. Coin-collecting by the mint staff is frowned upon by Mr. Parker. "It would be taking ad- vantage of their position and there would be the danger of an employee marring the design of a coin for his own gain." Complacency Attacked In Battle Against TB OTTAWA" (CP)--Canada has one of the world's lowest TB death rates but there is no room for complacency, says Dr. G. J. Wherrett, executive secre- tary of the Canadian Tubercu- losis Association. One reason is that more re- sistence is noted to the anti- biotics that have revolutionized TB treatment. Dr. Wherrett will preside over the 16th International Tubercu- losis Conference opening in Toronto 'Sept. 10, the first time it has been held in Canada. Interviewed here before the conference, he said more than 200 papers will be read and more than 60 countries repre- sented, including, it is hoped, the Soviet Union, Communist China, North Viet Nam, Korea, Japan, France and other Euro- pean countries. TB in economically under- developed areas of the world continues to be a major cause of death, Dr. Wherrett said. Perhaps. 50,000,000 of India's 400,000,000 people are active cases, and one in seven to nine residents of Hong Kong is tuber- cular. ESKIMO PROBLEM Canada, with a TB record surpassed only by the Scandi- navian countries and The Netherlands, had 823 deaths and 6,345 new cases last year. This constituted a death rate of 4.6 per 100,000. The highest rate--and the most spectacular progress in the last 15 years-- has "been among Indians and Eskimos. The death rate In 1945 for them was 579.1 per 100,000. Last year it was down to 23.8, or just about the level in all Canada 10 years ago. Ambulent therapy--the use of antibiotics to subdue the TB bacillus--has replaced surgery but hazards remain. Dr. P. E. Moore, director of the northern and Indian health services for the national health department, said the bacillus is building up resistance to some forms of antibiotics. Secondly, treatment of TB by pill after a period in hospital involved up to 1% to two years of disciplined self - medication. There was no guarantee that TB patients would carry out the program properly at home, es- pecially among Indians and Eskimos. For this reason, Indian and Eskimo cases had to be '"over- treated," kept for longer periods in hospital. Then doctors had to ensure that adequate diet was followed when they returned home. The big problem for non- Western nations usually is the same that faced Canada years ago--getting the incidence and death rate under control. Can- ada's work among its northern population provided valuable in- formation for such countries, including the adaptation of x- ray equipment for handling and use in remote areas. #7 mw (aptain Morgan RUM rgest stocks of rum * ain Mogan blends these four great brands " BLACK LABEL--Dark 'in colour with a smooth and delightful flavour in: rum & cola, hot rum toddy, rum old-fashioned, planter's punch, hot buttered rum, rum egg nog, rum flip, Tom & Jerry.
