Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, JUNE 26, 1962 -- PAGE 6 State Control Threat For Legal Profession The graduating class at Osgoode Hall law school was warned last Fri- day that arguments now being made fn favor of "socialized medicine" could be used in favor of state control of the legal profession. The warning was given by Joseph Sedgwick, treas- urer of the Law Society of Upper Can- ada. The argument for state control, said Mr. Sedgwick, goes this way: "Why should the rich be better rep- resented in the courts than the poor? Why should not all talents be avail- able equally to the long purse or the short?" We agree with Mr. Sedgwick that a government-controlled law profes- sion would ultimately mean a "servile and supine bar, prosecuting and de- fending those whom the state disliked or favored, doing the will of its master --the state, the government,- the power, call it what you will." But thoughtful lawyers will admit that all too often the rich are better represented in the courts than the poor. There is a legal aid program in this province; but all too often the poor defendant' lacks counsel because he thinks he cannot afford lawyers' fees, or is represented by some inex- perienced and inadequately briefed young graduate. It is a bad situation and one that demands action of some sort. The legal profession should apply its collective intelligence to the answer to the question proposed by Mr. Sedg- wick, if it wants to avoid state control, Mr. Hamilton's Gaffes Agriculture Minister Alvin Hamil- ton, as the election results showed, is the darling of the western grain farmers -- as anyone who sold their product and boosted their acreage payments would be. But away from the wheatfields, Mr. Hamilton is something less than a wonder boy. The only wonder, indeed, is how he manages to get away with his gaffes. During the election campaign, he blurted out the revelation that there had been a split in the cabinet over the pegging of the dollar, that some cabinet ministers thought the rate should have been set at 90 cents, while others favored 95 cents, and that the 92% cent level was the result of a compromise. Thus in a few stumbling sentences -- promptly reported across the nation -- he Riots In Old Many people were shocked and angered by the destruction caused by rioting convicts recently at St. Vincent de Paul Penitentiary in Montreal. There were demands for severe punishment of the rioters. The convicts who smashed and burned during the riot should be punished; violence and vandalism are evil things and deserye punishment. At the same time, we should be aware of the fact that St. Vincent de Paul is one of the worst prisons on this continent. It is old, decrepit and overcrowded -- a shameful sur- vivor of the bad old days when prisons managed to create the impression of cabinet. confusion and dissension. Mr. Pearson and Mr. Douglas could not have done any better. The election over, Mr. Hamilton reported back to Ottawa, and present- ly he was on the air, proclaiming that everything, including the dollar, was in remarkably fine shape and that "there is no crisis that anyone can point.a finger at." A few hours later he was attending the first of a series of cabinet meetings to deal with a number of things that are not in fine shape, including a financial crisis resulting from the pressure on the dollar in international money mar- kets. It is a pity Mr. Hamilton- cannot be persuaded to keep his light under a bushel of wheat. Prisons had to be foul places where inmates were degraded as well as punished. There has been notable progress in penal reform during the past few years, but we have a long, long way to go. If we are to reduce our crime rate, we must think beyond . the primitive simplicity of cell and jail; we must realize that when men are treated like animals, they will sooner or later act like animals. The only surprise about St. Vincent de Paul is that there are not more riots there. If the whole prison burned down,\not much would be lost and a great deal would be gained. Coffee House Culture A coffee house in Ottawa, that had been given a Canada Council grant to provide poetry readings during the winter, escaped conviction on a licen- ding charge when the magistrate ruled the city's bylaw was invalid, the Sudbury Star notes. Magistrate Sherwood held in a written judgment that the house was in fact a public hall because non- members were admitted. He refused to convict on the ground that the city bylaw gave the chief of police the right to grant or refuse a licence, and this power should be exercised only by the police commission.

CANADA'S POLITICAL ¢ MAOHINERY' CANADNS POLITICAL " QUICK RESPONSE YOUR HEALTH i Heartburn Doesn't Come From Heart By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I wake up nearly every night with so- called heartburn. I've been X- rayed and nothing wrong shows.--R. D. What causes a person to have a burning and nauseated feeling in the throat an hour after eat- ing and sometimes in the mid- dle of the day when no food has been taken since breakfast? --B.L.P. These are two quite typical questions about "heartburn" which, of course, has nothing to do with the heart. It's a burning sensation in the pit of the stomach, or under the lower portion of the breastbone, and it usually is due to stomach irritation, although there are other possibilities. Very often excessive use .of spices, tobacco, and alcoholic beverages plays a part. Some- times there is irritation or even actual ulceration of the esopha; gus. The pain can be from peptic ulcers although that usu- ally is more of a gnawing sen- sation. Some people have an exces- sive amount of acidulous stom- ach juices. Again, some nerv- oue people have a regurgitation of the stomach contents into the gullet, with a burning sensation. Somewhat more remote but possible are disorders of the gall bladder, an infected ap- pendix, or diverticulum (out- pouching) of a portion of the small bowel. Some of these problems may not show in X-rays but can, of course, be diagnosed in other ways, although not always easily or instantly. REPORT FROM U.K. Government Deaf To County Pleas By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Eleventh hour ef- forts by the Labor majority in the London County Council to have the government change its mind about the abolition of the Council under its re-organiza- tion of the Greater London area, have failed. At a special meet- ing of the council an emergency report was presented by a spe- cial committee which waited on Prime Minister Macmillan to ask that the government aban- don its plan for a complete re- casting of the municipal.govern- ment of London. The reply they received was that the govern- ment intended to press on with its plans. The Labor leader of the LCC, Sir Isaac Haywar, presented to the Council the prime minister's reply. It was quite definite. MUST GO AHEAD "T think our proposals are right," was the answer of Mr. Macmillan, '"'and that we must go ahead with them. I think too that the sooner we can bring them into effect the better, as the uncertainty in the meantime has plainly been very damag- ing." At the same time, the prime minister has rejected an appeal from the London County Council that he should receive a second deputation. "I do not think it would ad- vance matters,"' said Mr. Mac- milan, He also turned down a request that a committee of inquiry should be set up to re- consider the whole problem following the government's de- cision to preserve the London gid Council's education serv- ce. "The worst thing we could do would be to create further delay and uncertainty by sétting up . :. and a further committce of inquiry,"' says the prime minis- ter. Mrs. Freda Corbet, MP, sec- ond-in-command to Sir Isaac, has asked the London County Council to approve a motion ex- pressing profound regret at the prime minister's refusal to dis- cuss the matter further. In view of the overwhelming Labor ma- jority on the council, the motion is sure to pass by a convincing margin. But its effect will be agactly nil. The Conservative opposition leader in the LCC and his sup- porters, however, were quick to welcome the decision of the prime minister. . "The time has now come for the Labor majority on the LCC to begin behaving sensibly," he said. "Investigations by an in- dependent Royal Commission made it quite clear that a rad- ical reform of London's local government was vital, and the prime minister has stated once and for all that the government fully intends to bring that about. "Tt is high time that the Labor majority on the LCC took a con- structive line and began making suggestions on how the reform could most smoothly take place." We can correct, or at least alleviate, all of these possible causes -- medications to sup- press excessive secretion of di- gestive juices, sedatives for the people whose trouble stems from nervous tension, interme- diate feelings, which (you may well have noticed) have a con- siderable similarity to conserv- ative treatment for ulcers. If gall bladder is the cause, again treatment is available but will depend on exactly what kind of trouble it is. The same is true of a diverticulum: treatment will have to fit the case. If the appendix is infected, the an- swer is obvious. Dear Dr. Molner: My sister has been told she has coronary insufficiency. Is that another name for heart failure?--M. K. No, but it can eventually lead to it. Coronary insufficiency means that the heart muscle is not getting as much circulation as it should have, usually due to narrowing of the coronary ar- teries from hardening. This obviously may, in time, reduce the heart's pumping ef- ficiency to the point of failure, which means the heart is not sending enough blood to the rest of the body. Failure, which is associated with congestion and difficult breathing, can, of course, result from other heart defects, too. Dear Dr. Molner: My hus- M@ band has had three operations for, bladder papilloma. They have all been minute except the first which was the size of a pea. We are wondering if it is necessary to operate for every little papilloma.--MRS. R. S. A papilloma (or small growth) in the bladder may be- come malignant. They may also bleed rather easily, and cause considerable discomfort. That's why your doctor wants to get rid of them. NOTE TO MRS. E. T.: I have frequently discussed vitil- igo, which is a loss of pigment, or coloring, from areas of the skin for no reason yet known. (There are known causes also -- lupus erythematosus, psoria- sis, aftermath of burns, contact with rubber, inflammation of the skin, syphilis, etc.) Walnut juice stain, to hide the light spots, is probably the best an- swer yét devised, The '"'sun- tanning pills," -gnce_ hailed hopefully, have been disappoint- ing. BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Two platoons and a band from OCVI Cadet Corps left for Bolton Camp, a_ training centre for school cadets. Major and Mrs. George Earle, of Galt, assumed command of the local corps of the Salvation Army. General Motors of Canada purchased the Feldspar Glass Company property, Ritson road north. Andrew E. Murdoch was ap- pointed as an investigator at the Oshawa Wartime Prices and Trade Board. A. E. O'Neill wa' presented with three books by the OCVI staff at their annual picnic in recognition of the completion of 16 years as principal of the school. Two hundred houses were under construction at Ajaw and 100 additional houses were to be built later, according to Ald. Hayden Macdonald, chairman of the Oshawa District War- time Housing Committee. M. Grant Ohesebrough, of Thornton's Corners, made his first parachute jump at the Toronto Flying Club from a height of 3000 feet. Stationed at No. 20 Flying Training School here, he joined the Canadian Parachute Club in 1941. A- committee was organized with offices opened in Oshawa and the district to provide farmer assistance in harvesting the 1942 crops. The members included Hon. G. D. Conant, chairman; vice-chairman E, W. Webber, president of South On- tario Agricultural Society and Secretary, F. M. Campbell, On- tario County Agricultural Rep- resentative. Christ Church congregation presented an easy chair to Mrs. S. G. Carnell in recognition of the completion of 13 years ser- vice as organist and choir leader of the church. Mr. and Mrs. Alpha Pinch, life-long residents of the district, celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary. Charles H. Cooper's "Silver Waters", a photograph of the area surrounding the lighthouse at Port Whitby was judged first prize at the annual spring salon of the Oshawa Camera Club. The Old Farm, taken by A. J. Edwards was placed second while 'Gently Flowing Waters" taken by E, E. Watson was judged third. Dr. G. L. Bird of Oshawa, was appointed by Rotary Inter, national to serve as chairman of the Club Presidents' Assem- bly at the 1942 convention in Toronto. Re. OTTAWA REPORT Regional Election But Not National By PATRICK NICHOLSON That wasn't a general election at all. It was a series of con- current regional elections--cou- pled with a pained squeal from our concrete jungles. So it was hardly surprising that Canada's twenty - fifth na- tionwide polling produced a new phenomenon: a government which cannot boast majority support from either of our big central provinces. With no major issue' being urged by the campaigners or accepted by the electors, local irrelevancies stole the show. Among those local controvers- ies, Quebec won the most head- lines. The raucous and drama- tised resurgence of the eternal separatist movement daubed a huge question. mark against that province before the campaign started. Quebeckers are under- privileged by the standards of some other provinces, asserted the separatists, and they have got nothing from former Con- servative or Liberal govern- ments at Ottawa. "You have got nothing to lose, so now try Ue Gi us," cried the 'white berets', the disciples of Social Credit. And this is just what rural Que- bec did, with unexpectedly sub- stantial results. 'MEDICARE SCORNED The Saskatchewan contro- versy was much less publicized and almost entirely misunder- stood in other parts of Canada. Pearson, devaluation or free speech were not issues in Sas- katchewan; I never heard them mentioned. But whereas ,Major Douglas, gave Alberta _ his "funny money" political philos- ophy, Tommy Douglas tried to give Saskatchewan his "'wheedle needle" medical plan. And this election was treated more as a referendum on the medicare program _ which Tommy Douglas put forward last year when he was premier of that province. It was purely incidental that he was a candi- date in the federal election: the ballot provided a simple and ready - to - hand weapon with which Saskatchewaners could clobber Douglas, and this they did. He was licked; 12 of his 16 Moves To Freer Trade Raise Atlantic Hopes OTTAWA (CP)--There is op- timism in the Atlantic prov- inces that within 20 years the region will regain many of the industrial - location advantages it lost decades ago due to tar- iffs, the shipbuilding collapse and the Panama Canal. The privately sponsored At- lantic Provinces Economic Council bases this hope for eco- nomic recovery on what it be- lieves to be a gradual move to- ward freer trade in the whole North Atlantic area, and thus better access to Europe and its rising demands. Yet such a development is seen as benefitting mainly. the primary export - based indus- tries--forestry, fishing and base metals. Meanwhile there is a problem to be solved, namely the peristent lag in investment in secondary industry. The royal commission on banking and finance was told during its sittings in Frederic- ton, Charlottetown and Halifax that this shortfall in investment --running at only two-thirds the average Canadian level in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island and only half in Newfoundland -- is the root of the entire region's eco- nomic ills. HINT CAPITAL OUTFLOW The economists call it a "lack of capital formation." There were even suggestions made to the royal commission, admit- tedly without proof, that the normal capital institutions such as trust and insurance compa- nies are skimming capital out of the area, for use elsewhere. The Nova Scotia and New Brunswick governments said they couldn't afford to supply the amount of industrial credit that would be required, at least in a "relatively short" period, to lift their areas closer to the national growth rate. So they said the money should come from Ottawa. And in that recommendation they took «é broader view of the commis- sion's task than the P.E.I. gov- ernment, which confined itself to the subject at close hand-- banking and finance. The New- foundland government was si- lent. The problem for the commis- sion is in deciding to what ex- tent fiscal policies--the taxing and spending policies of govern- ment at all levels -- can be mixed with the financial and monetary questions it faces. URGE BROAD APPROACH The commission will be writ- ing its report next year. It was asked by the federal govern- ment to look into the structure and methods of the Canadian fi- nancial system, "including the banking and monetary system and the institutions and pro- cesses involved in the flow of .funds through the capital mar- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 26, 1962...

Both the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick governments anticipated this doubt and asked the commission to read sti terms of reference in q broad enough context to include the is- sue of special federal aid to in- dustry. Backing this approach, the economic council specifically asked for either federal grants or loans to set up "cornerstone" plants in the region--big, costly industrial establishments with a "multiplier impact'? so that other industries would. spring up around them.

'In B.C. the numerous left- wing supporters took advantage of the division in the anti-CCF vote, which has united to thwart them_ in provincial politics. 4 They elected an unprecedented ten MPs under the new NDP label, several of them formr sucessful CCF candidates. In seven previous federal elec- Aions, the CCF never did so well, averaging a mere four ers. "UNHAPPY JUNGLES The protest from the over. crowded concrete rat - tracks that are our big cities was phenomenal. Six of our biggest metropolitan areas are Mont- real, Toronto, Vancouver, Win- nipeg, Hamilton and Quebec City. In 1958 they together re- turned 44 Diefenbaker candi- dates and 13 assorted anti-Tor- ies; last week they threw out more than three - quarters of those Diefenbaker forces, to re- turn only 10 of his followers and 47 of his opponents. Some sociologists call this the revolt of the upper-middle eco- nomic and educational groups, the new _ suburbanites. Such city-workers feel a vague frus- tration in their lives and a ---- by the government, which to them is much more vague and impersonal than to the farmer or the old age pen- sioner. Others suggest that it is the result of the egghead ap- peal made by the Liberals' platoon of liberal brainstrust- ers; in this we run two years behind USA, where President Kennedy atfracted the egg- heads, whose economic plan. ning and sociological regimen- tation are now terrifying busi- nessmen, bankers and farmers. The great surprise of the election has been the sense of responsibility shown by Socred leaders Bob Thompson and Real Caouette in their post - election statements. Their socially cred- itable attitude is that this is no time for further political bick- ering, but the time for all good parties to come to the aid of the country. Like all patchwork quilts, this electoral cover - all shows no pattern. But that is not to say that the haphazard and at first glance bewildering total . effect may not serve Canadians well over the next few years. QUEEN'S PARK Lack Of Selling Shocks Macaulay By DON O'HEARN . TORONTO--It often pays not to know too much about some- thing. For years now the govern- ment has had a trade and in- dustry branch. One of its functions has been to encourage sales of Ontario products in markets abroad, It has had little success. The branch is now part of the new department of economics and development. This department has as its minister Hon, Robert Macaulay, Mr. Macaulay should know little about selling. He has been a lawyer all his life. But nevertheless he could turn out to be one of the best salesmen in the province's his- tory. A SHOCK The young minister jis back from six weeks in the United Kingdom. He went over to see how much Ontario and Canada were selling there now. And then to probe the possibilities of selling more. He was shocked at how little we were selling. And particu- larly at the things we weren't selling. He couldn't even find a can of Canadian to juice in overseas grocery sfores. But hefound plenty from California and Australia. ALL WRONG This situation, of course, has existed for years. From time to time little things have been done to boost our trade overseas. But there has never been a bold step. And this has been because the attitude has been to improve on what we had rather than to take a look and see if this was at all sufficient. i Mr. Macaulay, of course, when he took over was not en- mshed in the tangle of prece- But his temperament and his legal training have steered him to instinctively take an overall look at anything before he tries to straighten out any of its parts. And his overall look in this case told him that the whole machine was wrong. HARD SELL Things are to be different in the future. An intensified sales drive overseas is now taking shape. It is an imaginative and yet practical program. It won't be a tea-party af- fair. There won't be "trade missions' which are afraid to offend their hosts by trying to sell them something. It will be hard-sell from the start. And in the van will be Mr. Macaulay himself, with his or- der book out. And if you want a bet the writer will give you two to one he will finish up with quite re- markable results. YOUR MONEY EARNS 5 ON TERM DEPOSITS GUARANTY TRUST Company of Canada 32 KING ST. E.
