She Oshawa Cimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1962--PAGE. 6-- There'll Be Conditions To West German Loans When the East Germans built their wall in Berlin and strengthened the barrier along the whole of the border with West Germany, North Americans may have gained the impression that traffic between the two Germanies had come to a virtual standstill. This was not so. The East German gov- ernment wanted to stop the flow of refugees to the West,' and did; if, in the process, it could also harass the military representatives of the West, it would try to do so, with the aid and instigation of the Russians. But without money and supplies from the West, the East Germans would soon be in desperate straits. Word comes from East Berlin that the Communists hope for some $600 million in loans from West Germany, France, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Denmark this year. Last year France gave the East Germans $15 million in credits for the purchase of butter and meat -- and the need is even greater this year because of the continued failure of the Com- munist agricultural program. Needed also are coal and machinery. West Germany accounts for 11 per cent of East German exports, and in turn sells East Germany such manu- facturers as steel, railroad cars and barges. Trade between the two Ger- manies comes to more than $500 mil- lion a year -- trade that continues despite their bitter political differ- ences. If the West Germans make a loan to their enemies, they will undoub- tedly attach some strings. Obvious conditions would concern access to West Berlin and conditions of border crossing. Testing Of New Drugs Unfortunate side-effects from the use of some new drugs have been well publicized recently, and the re- ports provide background for the warning given the Royal Commission on Health Care this week by Dr. R. F. Farquharson, professor, emer- itus of medicine at the University of Toronto, mip, Sah drugs constantly coming on the "market are capable of doing harm as well as good and their indiscriminate use should not be en- couraged until they have been tried and tested over a long period, he said. There may be to much promotion of new drugs, and too much desire to seek the swift beneficial results they promise -- too much desire on the part of patients as well as medical men. At the same time, reports of the harm done by some drugs should not lead us to under-rate the tremendous Business For Competition from Canadian Pacific Airlines is wasteful and prevents Trans-Canada Airlines from making money -- that's the TCA complaint. It is difficult to understand this at- titude when one compares the Cana- dian record with that of other nations in the international air transport business. TCA and CPA between them earn $42 million a year on international runs. The Dutch line, KLM, grosses $150 million a year, and all but a fraction of this amount is accounted for by non-Dutch business. Canada gets one international passenger for every two carried home. Britain gets two for one and France one for one. Some air transport authorities have claimed that Canadian airlines could be doing four or five times the inter- national business now being handled. progress made by drug researchers during recent years. New drugs are aiding treatment of mental as well as bodily ailments. Experiments now undet way, for example, suggest that schizophrenia, the most widespread mental disease, may stem from faulty body chemis- try rather than from any extreme emotional or mental stress. If there is a biological cause for schizophrenia, of course, a chemical compound or drug may well be the weapon to de- feat the disease. The length of the testing period of a new drug can be agonizing for men devoted to the cause of healing. Its primary effect may be known to -pre- vent suffering, save life, before any secondary effects are understood, How long, under such circumstances, do you wait? : Airlines Pointing out that the number of international passengers is expected to treble in the next 10 years, from 100 million to 300 million, the Van- couver Sun urges that Canada move aggressively into "this bonanza mar- ket." The Sun comments: "With two of the most modern air fleets in the world, a well-developed domestic service, plus present inter- national services, we're in a good position to do it... Canada's air in- dustry resembles a large manufactur- ing industry that can produce sur- pluses over domestic needs and sell them profitably in outside markets because domestic output takes care for the bulk of basic costs. We could only hold back if persuaded these great advantages are really handi- caps."

Since it was formed more than 10 years ago the commis- sion has carried out proceedings in private -- despite the fact these include disciplinary ac- tion, fines, loss of privileges and other rights of the individ- ual. And despite the fact there is no appeal from its decisions --not even to a minister of the Crown. REPORTER IN At a recent meeting for the first time a newspaperman was permitted to report the proceed- ings of a commission meeting. The reporter happened to be the writer -- and there were extraordinary circum- stances, which won't be dis- cussed here, leading up to the commission breaking precedent. It should be said that the chairman, Magistrate S. Tupper Bigelow, and members of the commission were most courte- ous and that they are undoubt- edly men who are both knowl- edgeable in their field and com scientious But this particular: meeting only strengthened previous con- victions that the commission, as it is at present conceived, just doesn't belong in our system SECRET MONOPOLY The meeting concerned was fo consider an application by some individuals seeking 100 days of racing dates for next year for a new track in Wind- sor The men concerned had no company formed, no assured financing, in fact, at this date, not even racing charters. The commission sent them back home for more informa- tion. But it is to hear them again--and may have done so by the time this is read--and then quite probably will give them the dates Here is what this means: A group of men at relatively little outlay on ,their own--they did have land options and ar- chitects plans--will be given dates. which under today's con- ditions amount to a monopoly and a very valuable one. AND EXCEPT FOR CER TAIN INTERVENTION THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN COMPLETE SECRECY, There is nothing to be said against the individuals and their Windsor plan, But surely the commission, sa long as it is an appendage of government, which it is, can't go on handing out monopolistic privileges without public hear- ings. Handing this out is like hand- ing oul money. The men con- cerned may be quite all right But perhaps there is another group or groups who might have a better proposition The community officially might want a say.

MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Momer: I am so troubled with acid stomach that I almost literally have to go around with a can of baking soda in one hand and a pine- apple in the other. I would like to get a list of foods that are less acid-forming. SAM N. I'm at a loss, sir, to see how pineapple fits into the problem. But as far as that's con- cerned, I think I can show you that the baking soda doesn't make any real sense, either. Yes, I know baking soda is an old favorite but it doesn't de- serve its popularity: It doesn't do any permanent good. : In fact, soda carries what is known as a "rebound effect." It temporarily counteracts such acid as it finds in the stomach. Then the body reacts by pro- ducing even more acid. That's why so many habitual soda-swal- lowers get into such a circle of soda-relief-more-acid that their poor stomachs don't know what to do. In a word, there are much better antiacid preparations available, if you really need them. But remember that the stomach is supposed to have acid in it to help digest food. REPORT FROM U.K. Jamaican Earns Nottingham Post BY M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times NOTTINGHAM -- Four years ago, in an upsurge of racial hatred, this city of Nottingham was the scene of one of Brit- ain's worst race riots. It arous- ed attention because it was the first of a series touched off in various parts of the country, culminating in the Nottingham Hill Gate riots in London. Today, Nottingham, once a hotbed ,of racial hatred, boasts of having the first colored mag- istrate in Britain. Just appoint- ed to that important post is Eric Irons, a Jamaican, the first of his race to become a magistrate in this country. Mr. Irons came to Britain from Jamaica in 1947 as a Royal Air Force recruit. Since then, he has become the accept- ed champion of the colored peo- ple in the Midlands of England. After the Nottingham riots had died down, the education committee of the city apoint- ed Mr. Irons, who has an Eng- lish wife, as its "race relations officer." His job was to ar- range courses to help integrate the white and colored communi- ties. He was instrumental in forming Nottingham's Common. wealth Citizens' Association. Seated at his desk in the edu- cation office, when informed of his new appointment, Mr. Irons said: "I am a little surprised. 1 am also very much pleased. I am quite certain that the same favorable thought that has been given to my appointment will be given in other cities, and they willl begin to think along the same lines when choosing magistrates. Things are much quieter in Nottingham than they were, and race relations are quite good. I do not think many people will object to a colored magistrate."" This was evident from the comments of Alderman Corne- lius Cameron, chairman of the Nottingham bench. 'The Lord Chancellor always wants magis- trates to be fully representa- tive of the community. As we have a large colored population, the bench must, in our opinion, include a colored magistrate if it is to be truly representative. We welcome Mr. Irons' appoint- ment." Captain Arthur Hunt, secre- tary of the city's Council of Social Service, commented: "This is the most intelligent appointment our local authori- ties have ever made. Mr. Irons is an exceptionally fine man." Mr. Irons has four children, three boys and a girl, and lives in a council house in Notting- ham's new town, Clifton Estate. As to "less acid forming," me fact is that foods themselves don't produce the acid. Your body does that. If 'you have excess acid, then frequent feedings of protein foods, such as milk, egg, cheese, custard, meat, etc., will com- bine with the acid, bringing a natural reduction in the amount, Your best bet by far, however, is to find out what is really ailing your poor stomach. Is it nerves? Ulcers? Gall bladder or liver trouble? Too much smok- ing, coffee or alcohol? I strongly doubt you will get anywhere until you take some serious steps to find out--and the best starting point is a trip to your doctor, instead of going at it blind, gobbling soda and hoping to stumble onto some sort of food that will solve your problem. You can see where this has got you so far; why keep on in the same direction? Try a different approach. Dear Dr. Molner: My two- year-old son has a dent in his chest. Is this what is called "pigeon chested'? Will is cause trouble for him? How can it be cured? MRS. M.A. Such a dent is called 'funnel chest," and the opposite, a pro- trusion, is called "pigeon breast." Both are defects in the devel- opment of the bones in that area. The cause is not always clear, oe Funnel chest, which tends to become more pronounced as the child. grows, may narrow the chest to the point of crowding the organs inside. It depends on the degree of funnel effect, of course. ANOTHER sion. 64 CELINA ST.
