She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 1962------PAGE 6--- | Doctors And Government | Take Inflexible Stands | k ' "Phe resignation of a Saskatchewan chbinet minister illustrates the un- cbmfortable position in which moder ate men find themselves when op- ponents in a dispute stick to inflexible pinions ana rigid ideas. There is no ubt that both the government and thé doctors of Saskatchewan are being pig-headed in their struggle over a provincial plan. The government idsists on pushing through its plan against the almost unanimous and violent opposition of the province's doctors; the doctors, in their turn, refuse to recognize the strength of public desire for some form of medical payment plan that will remove the read of sickness-caused debt. ' An organized withdrawal of medical sprvice from the people of Saskat- chewan by the provincial association would be intolerable -- just as in- thlerable as the recent threatened withdrawal of electrical power service from the people of Ontario. At the satne time, the provincial government has been intent on pushing through its medical bill, with a bland disregard for what is needed to make a medical plan work and for obvious public un- ease about the way it may work. In the 1960 provincial election, it will be recalled, T. C. Douglas, then premier, called for a 51 per cent vote for his CCF government as a man- date for a provincial medical scheme. He received only 41 per cent of the vote (a shade under 41 per cent, ac- tually), while his opponents got a little better than 58 per cent. This could scarcely be termed a mandate for anything. More people voted against the CCF than for it, Mr, Douglas retaining power because the opposition was split three ways. This public judgment was confirmed in two subsequent by-elections -- one of them in the seat vacated by Mr. Douglas when he took over the leader- ship of the New Democratic party -- which were won by Liberals. This was an obvious indication of public uncer- tainty about the medical plan, and should have impressed on the govern- ment the need for a more flexible attitude towards the proposal. It was this inflexibility that led to the resig- nation of Walter Erb from the govern- ment. Significantly, he had much to do with the medical plans as health minister. Step Toward Safety ' Plates stating safe maximum power and: weight-carrying limits will be required on all boats 16 feet or less, designed for outboard motors, effec- tive July 1. Many manufacturers attach such information to their boats now, but when they don't, owners will be expected to apply to the De- partment of Transport for the neces- sary plates; application forms will provide the space for pertinent infor- mation about length, beam and so on + and, of course, a small fee will be required. | This is a tentative step by the Department towards safer operation of powered boats. One could call it a hesitant step, because the regulations only call for the statement of power and weight limits and nothing about penalties for over-powering or over- lpading. The safety regulations them- Fresh Water : A North American corporation has announced that in partnership with Istaeli scientists it has perfected a method of extracting fresh water froin salt sea water. Plans to produce the'desalting machines are under way in. Canada, the United States and Israel. Developers of the machines éxpect that production costs should drop below $1 for 1,000 gallons in the text 18 months and to 40 cents in deyen years. ! If the process lives up to its promise, ft will be a break-through of the magnitude of jet-powered flight or the evelopment of polio vaccine. ' Man hag long searched for an effi- selves are unchanged, even though they are obviously inadequte, as are the penalties for mishandling of pleasure craft. All the blame does not rest with the Department, however. Federal officials have made repeated efforts . to get individuals and groups to agree on a workable code for the safe operation of pleasure boats, and their lack of success may have made them cautious. But such a code is needed, along with strict enforcement of it. The first boating deaths of the young fishing season have already occurred in Ontario, and in the next few weeks, as more and more operators take to lakes and rivers, there will be more drownings. Many of these deaths will be the direct result of boats being over-powered or overloaded. From Sea cient, cheap way of removing the salt from sea water to provide large quan- tities of fresh water. There are several converter plants operating in various parts of the world, but the best methods so far have failed to reduce the cost per 1,000 gallons to less than about $1.75. Water at 40 cents per 1,000 gallons would remove the threat of failing water supplies from such developed areas as Southern Cali- fornia, would permit the building of cities now arid coasts and transform the face of deserts. This could well be a more significant event for mankind than the landing of a man on the moon. stronauts Angels !

One wonders, however, if Titov has had any opportunity seriously to con- sider the alternative to atheism; if he has had a chance to examine various religious faiths and make a thoughtful study of their doctrines. His flippant and naive remark that he saw no God or angels in space during his 17 trips around the earth leads us to believe that he has not had such an opportunity, or that if he has, he has not taken advantage of it. : A man who reject a belief without thoughtful examination of its subs- tance is not a rational man. And it is difficult to have any faith "in man, his strength, his possibilities and his reason" when man is not rational, but speaks from ignorance, prejudice or indoctrination, Bikle Thought I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. -- Psalm 32:8.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times ABERDEEN, Scotland -- The constituency of East Aberdeen- shire has been the focal point of a controversy which has at- tracted widespread attention. Patrick Wolrige-Gordon, the Conservative member of parlia- liament for the constituency is a staunch supporter of Moral Re-Armament, and he is en- gaged to be married to Anne Howard, daughter of Peter Howard, one of the leaders of that movement. His attachment to that cause did not suit some of the members of the party executive in East Aberdeen- shire, who asked the loca! asso- ciation to adopt a resolution that Mr. Wolrige-Gordon be not re-adopted as its candidate in the next election. Mr. Wolrige-Gotdon, however, comes from a fighting Gordon family, and he fought back at his accusers. They had charged that he has devoted more time to Moral Re-Armament than to the affairs of his constituency. But when a constituency party meeting was called, he routed his accusers, and won an over- whelming victory. Some 650 members of the party attended, and they voted by. 463 votes to 185 to reject the resolution presented by the party executive withdrawing their support from Mr. Wolrige- Gordon. Now the executives are pondering whether they should resign from their posts. CHARGES DICTATORSHIP The case aroused interest be- cause of the deep implications of the challenging of a member of parliament for his religious beliefs and activities. Mr. Wol- rige-Gordon, speaking at the meeting, said the thing he most desired was the unity of his BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO The Anglo-Canadian Electric Light Company of Oshawa was sold to the Canadian General Electric Company. Over 200 members of Oshawa paraded to Simcoe Street Unit- ed Church for a Masonic ser- vice. The pastor, W. R. Tanton, addressed the gathering. City council passed a. bylaw requiring all local beverage rooms to close at 11 p.m. Mrs. M .A. Gifford was elect- ed president of the Senior Ca- tholic Women's League at the annual meeting of the organiza- tion. Plans were developed for a great community celebration on May 12 in honor of the corona- tion of King George VI. Hugh Hall, manager of the Dominion Bank, anf former treasurer and director of the Oshawa Rotary Club for several years, was elected president of the club at a meeting of the directors. Other officers elected were Col. F. Chappell, vice. president; §. E. James, trea- surer and A. Armstrong, sec- retary.

He went on, "Some members of the executive have: broken theirs. They have continued to work against me. I cannot. continue any longer with this dagger-in- the back thrust. "Today a minority on the executive are trying to get rid of a man because they dislike his belief in Moral Re-Arma- ment. Tomorrow, somewhere else, another executive will try to punish a member because they do not like him for being an Episcopalian, or because he is Jewish, or because he wears a kilt. I am not going to have the executive or any other man tell me what I must or must not believe. This kind of inter- ference opens the doors to dic- tatorship of the kind that every- one in this country detests the most," DEFINES ISSUES Mr. Wolrige-Gordon ended his appeal to the meeting by say- ing: "The issue is whether Con- servative affairs are to be run by a clique or by the people; whether a man can marry the girl he loves, and live in the place he loves; whether a group of gentlemanly gauleiters can forbid it; whther a member of parliament is the servant of all his constituents, or the property ofa clique. The attention of the whole world is concentrated on Aberdeenshire tonight." The 650 party members very quickly gave him his answer when the vote was taken and the ballot papers counted. Over 75 per cent upheld Mr. Wolrige- Gordon, and fewer than 25 per cent voiced approval of the executive's resolution. And the first reaction was the resignation of the party execu- tive chairman. GALLUP POLL Undecided Vote Drops As Polling Day Nears By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion At the start of the election campaign, heading for the polis on June 18, political favors, on a national average, do not show much change from the March figures. Regionally, Que- bec is also fairly static in its commanding lead for 'the Lib- erals, Ontario shows a drop for the NDP and CCF forces.

Three weeks should be the maximum length. Premier W. A. C. Bennett of British Columbia is one of the smartest politicians in the coun- try, maybe not the best but politically smart as a ypte-get- ter and campaigner. He has suggested that three weeks give any politican enough time to say everything he wants to Bay. You metioned the cost of a long campaign and the strain on the' campaigners. There is even more 'telling criticism. That is, the longer the cam- paign, the more time there is for the competing parties to try to top each other's promises, and this, I submit, is an evil thing because it breeds cyni- cism in the voters, and such cynicism degrades and can ultimately destory democracy. The issues are aired every day in the press reports of parliamentary debaies and statements issued by party spokesmen when Parliament is not sitting. Candidates should be able to deal fairly briefly with these, People who ignore the parliamentary reports ex- cept near election time do not deserve a vote, VERITAS Whitby TAX AID Dear Editor: Some provinces are getting oil and iron ore royalties, Brit- ish Columbia and Ontario have been collecting a logging tax for many years from pulp and paper companies, According to a report last summer Quebec and other provinces were con- sidering such a tax. In keeping with the times, the industry went to Mr. Dief- enbaker for tax aid with the re- sult that Mr. Fleming in his recent budget agreed to pay two-thirds of the provincial log- ging tax for them, at a cost of about $3,000,000 a year to the federal treasury for the two first named provinces, What's another three million?

May I refer back to the origin of this correspondence? On March 17 last I scanned the front page of the Oshawa Times, skipped most of the news and turned to e two. Something in the "* Even- ing" column held me and spark- ed my interest. I read further, I forget the details (you can refer to the column) but I re- member the columnist's lament about a "most unfair appraisal". There was evidence of an in- , conclusive argument on the sub- ject of a city manager and I thought the columnist could be Several Remedies For Monthly Pain By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I have pe- riodic cramps every month and have ever since I can remem- ber. I am 25 and married. I am enclosing an article I read in a magazine (about cut- ting the presacral nerve near the uterus). Is this article true? My doctor said if I have chil- dren the cramps will stop. My husband and I would like chil- dren but have not had any in five years. There is nothing wrong with either of us; why can't we have children? . Neha The article is true but cutting a nerve should be the last re- sort. I always advise the least cutting necessary -- and the least medicine that will fully do what is required. Causes of menstrual cramps are varied: glandular, nutri- tional, even mechanical, as nar- rowing or plugging of the cer- vical canal. Occasionally a D. and C. (dilatation and curet- tage, or surgical scraping of the uterus) helps Sometimes use of one of the newer diuretics, to rid the system of excess fluid before the period, gives marked relief. Simple pain-killers, tranquil- izers, anti-spasmodics all have succeeded in many cases. (But narcotics should be avoided, for the obvious reason: The risk of addiction.) It is likewise true that many & young woman, plagued by cramps, has found them to dis- appear after becoming preg- nant. Thus there are quite a few known remedies for cramps and while there is no way of predicting in advance which will be best, it is not too diffi- cult to have your doctor try different ones in rotation. As to your failure to have children, it would seem that after five years a fertility prob- lem does, indeed, exist. It isn't by any means necessarily a matter of general health, al- though a metabolism check is advisable for both of you. Going beyond that, it is my considered advice to start with husband, since a sperm count is an uncomplicated procedure, far easier than checking the various gynecological aspects of the wife. In one - third or more of in- fertility cases- the sperm count shows the husband to be at fault. Too many husbands are reluctant to consider this "af- front to their virility," but the most rugged of males can have some interference without knowing it, and sometimes the trouble can be quite readily rectified. If the check on him shows nothing amiss, then it is time to begin more extensive medi- cal studies of yourself, because the cramps may, perhaps, indi- cate that you need some spe- cial treatment. Dear Dr. Molner: Last year I had surgery--perforated di- verticulum, and part of the bowel and appendix removed. In the last few months I have noticed part of the stool are very dark, almost black at times. At other times, every- thing seems normal. I can't seem to pin it down to any certain foods. MRS. V. M. These dark stools should be checked for blood--they are a usual sign of bleeding higher up. (A diverticulum can be a cause of such bleeding.) Dear Dr. Molner: Over a long period, my 12-year-old son has been troubled with frequent nose bleeds. Do diseases of the heart, liver or kidneys have anything to do with this condi- tion? Aside from his nose he seems to be in good health. MR. C.K. Those diseases can be re- lated to nose bleed, but there would be other signs. If the boy's general health is good, it would be more reasonable to suspect that some tiny artery is located near the surface mem- brane of the nose and {fs irri- tated easily by blowing, pick- ing, a slight bump, etc. The small, bleeding vessels of the nose usually can be easily elim- inated by simple cauterization. more clear. Because I was still interested in the dispute I put my thoughts into words and on March 20 sug- gested via 'Readers' Views" that the writer of the column be specific. Now, whether he likes it or not and whether he be- lieves it or not and "pontifical" or not, with specific reference to his March 17th column I re- peat, "I sought enlightenment on something obscure'. And to confirm that something was ob- scure I recall the fact (and you can refer to his columns) that it took him about three weeks to answer another correspondent's questionnaire on the same col- umn. Do I have to rub it in? Regarding his reference to the back files of this paper". Is he kidding? Does he really think the only avenue of infor- mation is through his column? And is he so egotistical as to assume that reference to his column bestows "authority"? To misquote Robert Burns: "O wad some Pow'r the giftle gie him To see himself as others see him!" In passing, maybe I should mention that I had access to the "back files of this paper" long before Gearin ever scribbled his first "Good Evening" cole umn in Oshawa. Finally, if mv "ambiguity" and "persiflage" (vide his May 4th column) is beyond his understanding, let him pick up the 'phone and call me as he did a couple of weeks back. If can't get through to him by writing perhaps I can speak a language he under- stands. PAT SULLIVAN Oshawa. AUTHORS WANTED BY N. Y.
