She Oshawa Cimes Published by Canadia 86 King St. E., n Newspapers Limited Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1962--PAGE 6 -- More Than One fieaeon For Physician Shortage Medical authorities in Britain are worried about the future supply of 'physicians and the effect of a short- age on the standards of medical care. Not enough young doctors are gradu- ating from the country's medical schools; there would be a critical shoftage in the United Kingdom now but for the movement of doctors to the U.K. from some parts of Europe and the Commonwealth; and there has been a steady movement of British doctors out of the U.K., to countries like Canada and the United States. The main reason given for the de- parture of trained medical men and the apparent increasing reluctance of students to enter the medical profes- sion is the dislike of both the doctors and the potential medical students for the British national health scheme. Certainly of the doctors who have Britain have been outspoken in their criticism of the health schemie and its effect on most come to Canada from the practice of medicine in the U.K. But granting the validity of .this reason, there. must also be other reasons. Canada has not been produc- ing enough doctors for its growing population during the postwar years; we have retained a reasonable ratio of doctors to population only by immi- gration -- the arrival here of doctors principally from Britain. A committee of the Canadian Medical Association has urged the establishment of more training facilities and a campaign to induce promising students to take up medicine. Yet we do not have a full- blown health scheme in Canada. It might be argued that the pros- pects of a Canadian scheme are enough to discourage young men and women from pursuing a career in medicine, It doesn't sound reasonable, but eyen if we acknowledge the argument, it does not explain why a similfr situ- developing in the' United national ation is States. The American Medical says that there is no shortage of doc- tors in the United States, but the U.S. Department of Health and Wel- fare says that the shortage of physi- health Association cians is "our most critical problem." We suggest that the cost of a me- dical education and the Jength of time it takes for a young doctor to begin to get any adequate return for the money spent are the main factors in the Canadian and U.S. situations. If there is to be a great campaign for more and bigger medical schools and the students to fill them, we must be prepared to spend more on both schools and students -- larly if we intend the physicians-to-be to within a health acheme. money particu- work national Parliament Hill MP An ingenious suggestion has been made by Frank McGee, Conservative member of York-Scarborough, to re- move one big objection to the provi- sion of a permanent Speaker of the House of Commons, He proposes that anew constituency be created, the constituency of "Parliament Hill," the constituents of would be members of Parliament. The Speaker would represent this "riding". The House of Commons would be better off with a permanent Speaker. The House is indeed fortunate when it gets a new Speaker who has a substantial knowledge of parliamen- tary rules and procedures, and the wit and toughness to apply them. Unfor- tunately, this does not often happen, and in most cases the Speaker ac- quires full mastery of his job only towards the end of his term in office. One hardly expect it to be otherwise, because the job is an in- tricate and difficult one, calling for which presumably could First Spring There may be a chill in the air, and even a few snowflurries whirling about during the Easter weekend.

This is one of the rites of spring, celebrated with particular fervor when Faster is late, as it is this year.

MCINTYRE HGUD Special London (Eng) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON--The British govern ment has devised a new cost of living index, one which is more in keeping with the medes of life in present-day Britain. The one which has been in use since the end of the second world war is completely out of date. It does not reflect the changes in the spending habits of t he British people in these days of an affluent and prosperous society So there have been some radical changes in the list of items used in computing the cost of living The Advisory Committee re- sponsible for it has omitted some things which have ceased to be YOUR HEALTH an important factor in the British housewife's spending, and it has included in it a long list of items which have come into popular usage only in the last two or three years BASED ON ANALYSIS The cost of Living Advisory Committee has based its new in dex of consumer spending on an analysis of the budgets of some 3000 households with less than $85.a week income. And here are some of the interesting and in triguing features about the change which has been made Initio the index come roasting chicken and sherry as items in the budget of the average Bri- tish housewife.

I am in my early 30s and have wrinkles on my forehead from a sunburn, suffered four years ago. On my cheeks | have some acne scars which I would like removed, as I feel self-con scious about my skin.--A. D. K. When the term skin sanding first came into popular use, it was sometimes called sand-pa pering, and there were some scattered but disastrous cases of girls who tried to rub their faces with sandpaper. The re- sult was exactly what you'd ex- pect: They scratched their faces, infection set in, and they suffered both pain and scars So from then on we've avoided the term "sand-papering" and used skin sanding or skin plan ing There roughness, and if the can be superficial small pits or scars, surface can be smoothed off and the 'high' points removed, within limits, new skin will grow. The difference between high point and the bottom of the pits can be measured in thousandths of an inch, We can't remove a really prominent scar--but we can sometimes make it less vis- ible. We can't eliminate deep pitting from acne, but we can get rid of the lesser rough ness and make the pits shal- lower We can't get but when the roughened from sure to the sun new' surface of with a smoother texture. Sanding or planing is useful if applied in the right cases, but we can't expect it to do more than smooth blemishes The patient's skin is anesthet ized by--for example--a_spray- ing of carbon dioxide of dry ice.""

It is not something that most surgeons have learned to do. It is in the field of plastic surgeons and dermatologists. It is a task of great precision. Use ful; difficult helpful within its capabilities. Not a miracle, not a cure-all Dear 'Dr. Molner: I am a young mother whose child has a hernia of the navel. The whole family blame it on me for not very using a belly band or binder right after he was born.--MRS. Yee 8 I'm sorry the family is bitter but if the boy has such a hernia, a binder would not have pre vented it from. developing GALLUP POLL ported meat and These today are "passe"' average home Into the index for the first time come such articles as re- frigerators, electric cookeré and even motor scooters. Out go clothes' wringers, galvanized household buckets and earthen- ware teapots. Into the new index come nylon panties and jeans, And out of it go lisle stockings. REFLECTS SPENDING In making its analysis, the committee found that the typical British family now spends more on motoring and a great deal less on bus and rail fares, which is bad news for Dr. Richard Beeching, head of the British Transport Commission. It spends more on electric washing ma- chines and refrigerators and less on motion picture theatre tick- ets. It spends more on electricity and on coal and gas. Its drinking habits have changed, with more money being spent on wines and spirits, and less on beer And that is indeed a radical change for the British working public. The new cost of living index is now being brought into use, but it will not officially replace the old one until the end of the present year. Until then,how- ever, it will be used in con- junction with the old index and tied into it. This is necessary be- cause there are over two million workers, mainly in. the building, boot and shoe, steel and print. ing industries, whose wages are linked to the cost of living. By deferring the complete adopt- ion of the new. index, time will be allowed for the making of new agreements in which jt will be used as a factor in the fixing of wage increases or reductions, in accordance with its rise and fall boiling fowl. in the less Quebec Most Convinced Socreds Can Come Back By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion Belief that the Social Credit will regain a place in the Fed- eral House has grown steadily.

In addition to Mackenzie King himself, the five thus honored were Louis St. Laurent, J. J. lisley, lan Mackenzie, C. D. Howe and J. G. Gardiner. Among the 24 ministers in the present Diefenbaker cabinet the prime minister alone has been appointed to the imperial Privy Council. Since his senior ministers have all sat in cabinet for nearly five years, it is ap- propriate to recall that Mr. St. Laurent had been a minister for but four years and three weeks when he was honored in this manner. It might be argued by some that so many ministers in the present cabinet are rendering outstanding service that it would be invidious to single out one or two for distinction. Such critics could point to Labor Minister Mike Starr, Pub- lic Works Minister David Walker and Mines - Minister Jacques Flynn, and say. with truth that these in their way have distinguished themselves among the junior ministers. And the same critics could add that it would be unreason- able to differentiate between External Affairs Minister Howard Green, Finance Minis- ter Donald Fleming, Trade Min- ister George Hees and Justice Minister Davie Fulton, who like- wise have made themselves out- standing among the front-bench ministers. GREEN OUTSTANDING Many people, in Canada and widely in foreign circles, recog- nize that Howard Green has be- BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Premier Mitchell Hepburn an- nounced that the province would not pay relief to Oshawa strikers. C. N. Robson was elected a director of the Leather, Rubber and Tanners Safety Association and Col. Frank Chappell, vice- chairman of the Metal Trades Safety Association. A large section of Oshawa was plunged into darkness by a hydro breakdown during a rain and wind storm. Northminster United Church tendered a banquet of apprecia- tion to Mrs. Alex W. Bell and the Dramatic Club of the church on their successful presentation of plays which had added ma- terially to the building fund of the church. E. W. Webber of Columbus was appointed president of the South Ontario Agricultural So- ciety. Hugh Hall and R. B. Faith of Oshawa were appoint- ed treasurer and secretary re- spectively. The Oshawa Music Club pre- sented its final presentation in Simcoe Stréet United Church. Bruce Edgar, Nora Gibson, Mrs, J. L. Beaton and Reginald Geen assisted on the program. Kenneth Heddon was elected president at the Oshawa Pres- bytery Young People's annual convention.

Nobody has worked with more dedication and more sincerity for this great humanitarian objective; indeed, some diplomats say that his lobbying is so insistent and unremitting as to be almost te- dious. But his efforts, coupled with his legally analytical brain have produced outstanding re- sults in the face of grievously discouraging circumstances, For example and a magnifi- cent example it is, we can re- call the many Canadian initia- tives at the United Nations against global nuclear destruc- tion. More recently, Howard Green's emphasis on the many points of agreement have kept together negotiators who were emphasizing their disagree- ments, in the vital 17-nation dis- armament conference at Ge- neva. In thus keeping the na- tions gathered around the table and still talking, when an early break - up was widely antici- pated, Howard Green has per- formed a great service to Can- ada and to mankind. EXPORTS BOOMING Then consider our newly happy international trade pic- ture. George Hees built up such a fine record of achievement as minister of transport that he was promoted to be minister of trade and commerce. There he quickly showed that his talents had been given too little scope in transport. He immediately launched his imaginative and carefully detailed export sales drive, And by trade promotion con- QUEEN'S PARK ferences, sales incentives and overseas trade fairs--and now by planning to fly U.S. buyers into Canada by the planeload-- he is boosting our exports to all-time record heights. More, he has put our international trade back into favorable bal- ance for the first time in a dec- ade, and thus called a halt to our need to seil the old home- stead to pay for our interna- tional spending spree. This is a magnificent and long overdue achievement. Mr. Green and Mr. Hees are both veterans of Parliament. And more significantly, both are ministers with outstanding records created by outstanding dedication beyond the call of duty. The Hon. Howard Green and the Hon. George Hees are ripe for recognition. And what more apt than that the prime minis- ter, at this dissolution of Parlia- ment, should recommended that each be appointed to the imper- jal Privy Council, and thus be entitled to the small but signifi- cant distinction of address as "The Rt. Hon.?" TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 18, 1962 The Treaty of Aix - la- Chapelle was concluded be- tween Britain and France 214 years ago today -- in 1748. Under the pact, Cape Breton and its fortress of Louisbourg, which had been captured by British forces, was restored to France. 1775--Paul Revere made his famous ride to warn the New England countryside British troops were on the way. 1946 -- The International Court of Justice was estab- lished at The Hague. Premier Pushing Education Plans By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The province's radical new education program will be touch-and-go but it will GO. Premier Robarts, in his port- folio as education minister, clarified much of the back- ground of the plan for the members. He agreed there could be criticisms. He further agreed, as some have said, that if the government had waited details of the plan might have been further refined. But the important thing, said, was to get started. If there had been further study and discussion the pro- gram might never have got un- derway. And with these considerations in mind he had said: "Let's get going." The "three-way" program, or "Robarts plan," as the mem- bers are calling it, will start pupils in Grade 9 on one of three main roads of schooling: academic, commercial or voca- tional. GIVES DETAILS One great misunderstanding the premier quickly cleared away. He said there seemed to be an impression that academic training would be sacrificed. This was not so. Commercial and vocational students © still would get substantially a full academic training. Their tech- nical training would be second- ary. Further, he stressed, the plan was still very much in the form- ative stage. he ing principles. Tt would start in Grade 9 this. year, Grade 10 next year, and so on until Grade 13. But in planning the Grade 10 approach the experience in Grade 9 would be used, and the whole overall program would be so flexible that it could always be easily changed. WHAT IT M&ANS What does it all mean? It means that there will be a great expansion in technical ed- ucation in the province. Mr, Robarts noted, as one example of this expansion, that Seaforth, Goderich, Exeter and Clinton had combined to build a com- mon technical school. This type of instruction had not been available to students In the atea before. There are. 225 such projects underway in the prevince. It means that our general ed- ucation pattern will be more practical. But it doesn't mean we are going to produce a class of young men and women who can't and won't read. anything beyond a blue-print. They will still get a domi- antly academic training, And with the great attention being paid to courses generally, prob- ably a better one than ever be- fore. The bulk of their technical training, however, will still be gained on the job. (Mr. Robarts agreed with Opposition Leader Wintermeyer that this would have to be so.) The gist of the whole program would seem to be that it is more practical without chang- bist 0 Mam alter &SontLonited Walkeeniitle, Canada
