She Oshawa Trnes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1962--PAGE 6 Military Drivers Able To Flout Traffic Rules A Brampton magistrate has ruled that a member of the armed forces driving an armed forces vehicle under order from his superior officer is not subject to the provisions of the On- tario Highway Traffic Act. The magis- trate said the Crown is not bound by a statute unless the Crown is specifi- cally mentioned in it, and he could not find in the Traffic Act any re- ference in which Her Majesty agreed to be bound by the Act. This is a decision which should be immediately appealed. And if it is up- held by appeal and superior courts, then the Act must be changed. A fundamental principle of democracy is that military authority must be subservient to civil authority, except in designated emergencies. Civil law governs all the citizens of a deto- cratic state, and civil authority must have precedence if democracy itself is to survive. The magistrate's decision means that a private soldier, acting on orders from a corporal, could flout the pro- visions of the Ontario Highway Traffic Act. This is an intolerable situation and cannot be permitted to continue any longer than it takes to obtain a superior court ruling or an amendment to the Act. As it stands now, members of the armed forces, travelling under orders, would be exempt from civil punishment for a variety of serious offences, from speeding to failing to remain at the scene of an accident. The Attorney-General says his de- partment will appeal the magistrate's ruling. If the appeal fails, the Act must be amended. Speeding Ambulances Medical authorities seem to think that ambulances need not speed or use sirens. The Edmonton Academy of Medicine says that "there is no medical reason for the use of the siren on ambulances." The Canadian Medi- cal Association concurs, and also sug- gests that ambulances should be sub- ject to all traffic regulations. There may be some non-medical reasons for ambulances to go scream- ing and speeding about the streets but we cannot think of any. Our impres- sion was that speed was necessary to get a critically-ill patient to a hospital and that the siren helped to clear the way. But apparently the men best qualified to judge on the need for speed, the doctors, think it's not necessary and that the speed and noise may, indeed, be harmful. _ A study at Cornell University Me- dical College came to this conclusion: "The speeding ambulance injures and kill more persons than it saves." Following the Cornell report, several cities imposes restrictions on the operations of ambulances. The Hamilton Spectator wonders, why, if medical authorities do not believe that ambulances need to speed or use sirens, do most of them con- tinue to do so? Do ambulance drivers take advantage of a privilege by speeding and sounding their sirens unnecessarily? The Spectator sug- gests: "Tt seems reasonable to say that evidence and qualified opinion tilts the scales in favor of non-speeding noise- less ambulances. There could be ex- ceptions made in cases of extreme emergency, such as serious accidents, but often in such instances the police are on hand to clear the way for the ambulances." East European Sales State owned and operated foreign trade enterprises look after the import- ing of goods into Eastern European countries. The system is discussed by R. K. Thomson, Canada's commercial counsellor in Vienna, in the current issue of Foreign Trade magazine. Each of the trade enterprises (usu- ally less than twenty in each country. is responsible for exports and imports of a particular group of commodities. 'They alone can place orders abroad for goods of any description. Most of them are large and complicated and comparable in scope and operation with substantial import-export firms in Western countries. They are, usu- ally headed by a managing director and divided into several technical de- partments. Canadian exporters can usually de- pend on a friendly reception from these organizations and with them, as elsewhere, personal contact is by far the most effective method of intro- ducing a new product, according to Mr. Thomson. When discussing busi- ness either directly or by correspon- dence, a number of copies of trade literature, specifications and price lists should be made available to enable wider circulation within the enterprise and through it to end- users, whether these are factories or other institutions. Correspondence can be conducted in 'any principal language. She Oshawn Fines T. L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

These are only facets of one of the widest fields of human endeavor. As important in education as the classroom of childhood, student days or even manhood, is the people's ability to read, assimilate the ideas read and communicate them to others. And the facilities for such stimula- tion can only come from a library service which is not only good and efficient, but, beyond that forward- looking to a degree which will meet the needs for decades to come.

MAC THE KNIFE Hitler's Disciples Get 'Hot Reception In U.K. By ALAN WALKER LONDUN (CP)--Men in Nazi uniforms gather daily in a dingy London house to practise unarmed combat and vilifica- tion of Negroes and Jews. The National Socialist Move- ment wants a white, Gentile Britain at any cost. John Tyndall, 28-year-old na- tional secretary, is a pale man with watery eyes who fulfils membership requirements by being "'of pure British or kin- dred Northern European racial ancestry.' He quit his salesman job to devote his life to "cleans- ing Britain of the Judo-African scourge." 'Headquarters of the NSM looks like a grade B movie set. Members of the "spear- head" executive lean casually against an ugly fireplace and gaze up at a painting of a Nazi war lord. Swastikas glow on their chests: This is the home of Hitler's disciples. Tyndall blames Jews and Ne- groes for all the world's ills and says that when his party "takes over in about 10 years" all non- Aryans will be "excluded from the civilized world." Although the NSM has fewer than 300 members, Tyndall speaks confidently. "The deterioration of the pre- sent social, moral and political system will continue," he said mechanically as he stared out of the window, And he spoke of "decadence" which includes, for example the twist. "This alien dance cult from the African jungles has been forced upon the world by the Jewish - dominated entertain- ment industry which fosters the decline of culture for its own profit."'

It is in the YOUR HEALTH Glands Attacked By Mumps Virus By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. "Dear Dr. Molner: Tell me about mumps. Is it true that people who have had it can never have children?--E.V.R.' It can be true--in some cases. Not all by any means. Mumps, like colds, flu, mea- sles, chickenpox, polio and some other disease, is caused by a virus--a different virus for each disease, of course. The mumps virus attacks var- ious glands, usually the saliva glands at the angle of the jaw. That's why that part of the neck swells, But in severe cases other glands may be affected. Generally speaking, children recover from mumps _ rather easily--but they should remain in bed and be kept quiet to prevent the disease from attack- ing other glands. In adults it's likely to be more serious, so the need for bedrest is more important. For a mild case, it is possible for the patient not even to real- ize that he has the disease. In a severe case, neck and face swell and there is fever. And in still worse cases the genital glands are affected -- testes in men, ovaries in REPORT FROM U.K. Kent Can Boast Of Train Service By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- After five years of hard work, and the expendi- ture of about $150 million, a great transformation has been wrought in the network of rail- way services extending south- ward from London to Kent and the southern sea coast towns. Under this now completed proj- ect the services to the Kent coast have been completely electrified. Officials of the Southern Region of the British Railways claim that the changes made and new methods introduced have given Kent the best train service in the world. A service of this kind is need- ed in the business and indus- trial life of the London area. Every morning, tens of thous- ands of workers use it to come in from their homes in the south to their places of em- ployment in and around Lon- don. And every evening, the same stream of workers is de- pendent on the Kent coast routes to be returned to their homes. Now they will be able to make these twice-daily jour- neys in less time and with greater comfort than ever be- fore. RECALLS OLD LINE This new electrified service takes the place of what was once the South - Eastern and Chatham railway line of by- gone days, I can recall it from the days of the First World War, when Canadian troops were in training in the Sand- ling, Shorncliffe and Folke- stone districts. This was the line which they had to use on their weekend leaves to Lon- don. And its initials, the SE and C Railway, were interpret- ed by these Canadians as the "slow, easy and comfortless" railway. The scheme, which was start- ed five years ago and has now been completed, has been a major project. It has involved the electrification of 210 miles of line and the rebuilding of many railway stations. In Folke- stone recently I admired the splendid new station built there. This work has made pos- sible a complete recasting of the services to the coast and to the main towns of the coun- ty of Kent. Some of the jour- neys have been cut in time by as much as 45 minutes, It is now possible to travel from London to Folkestone in 70 min- utes instead of close to two hours. All over the system changes have been made to sin * give better and faster service. SOME CRITICISMS There are still some people, however, who are not yet cat- isfied. Some adjustments to sub- urban services have been nec- essary to fit the new pattern. These have been criticized be- cause they do not provide a large number of extra business- hours trains. In reply to this, T. R. V. Bolland, line mana- ger of the South Eastcia Divi- says: "Th electric trains have more .:ats than the steam trains, and we have been able to squeeze in a few more trains near the height of the peak, But the rush hour prob- Jem is quite beyond the scope of this part of the scheme. Peak hour crowding can be ended only by enlarging the London terminals and their approaches, by encouraging firms to move out of London, or by staggering working hours." "The electrification," said Mr. Bolland, "was to trans- form the outdated system in the south-east into a modern railway which would. produce more urgently-needed revenue. It has opened up great possi- bilities of development." giae women, If only one gland is damaged, the ability to have children is not destroyed. But if both glands are affected, then yes, it may be impossible to ~ have children. A further complication occurs if the virus attacks the pan- creas, a gland behind the stom- ach, and there is considerable abdominal pain. (Less common is mumps encephalitis, in which the lining of the brain is in- flamed. It's serious, of course.) We are still without a vaccine for mumps, but work is being done, so perhaps one day we will have it. For the present, the treatment consists of rest, plenty of fluids, and such medi- cation as is needed to ease the pain. There is one way to prevent the disease, if a person is known to have: been exposed -- say a parent has not had mumps, but the children come down with it. This is by the injection of gamma globulin from blood of people who have had mumps, and there are plenty of them, of course. The injection must be given soon after exposure, for once swelling starts, it's too late for the gamma globulin to help. (For people who don't know whether they have had mumps, a skin test is available. Some forget they ever had mumps, or else had a case so mild they didn't know it, but it made them immune anyway.) If you have not had mumps, and have been exposed, ask for the gamma globulin treatment. The disease is spread by in- visible droplets of moisture, from sneezing, coughing, kiss- ing. It takes about 21 days from the time of exposure for mumps to develop. Note to Miss M.R.: Yes, small but annoying scars on the eye- ball can often be corrected -- consult an eye specialist. "Dear Dr. Molner: Some years ago I had a fenestration in one ear, and now think an operation on the other would help, but don't know of any doctor doing the newer surgery. --A. G." Results of these operations continue to get better and bet- ter. In your case, you live near a very. good medical center. Just inquire there. People living elsewhere as a rule need only ask their regular doctors for refegral, either directly to an ear surgeon or to an ear-nose- throat specialist who may not do such surgery himself but knows who is well qualified for it. BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Four automatic fraffic signals were installed at King and Sim- coe streets. Oshawa stood fifth in Canada for June building which reached a total of $1,283,000. An Oshawa and District Soft- ball Association was formed with H. L. Broomfield as _pre- sident. William Harmer was vice - president,, R. Branton, secretary and F. Heaslip, trea- surer. Contracts were let for a $15,- 000 power plant and central heating system for the Oshawa General Hospital. A. S. Balfour, of Toronto, was appointed as superintendent of the Mundy Printing Company, Limited. Oshawa's $175,000 engineering program was started for 1927, consisting of two and a_ half miles of sidewalks costing $5500, two miles of street paving, $104, 500 and five miles of sewers costing $65,000. Building up an early lead Ont- ario Malleable ladies' softball team defeated Queen's Park ladies, of Toronto, 21-18. Violet Copeland pitched for the win- ners. Over 2000 people gathered in front of the Luke Furniture Company store: to hear the radio returns of the Dempsey- Sharkey bout for the world's boxing championship. General Motors announced plans for building a new Body Building Mill and Centra] Paint Shop. Contracts were let. to Trick and Gay Companies, local contractors. After a residence of several years in Oshawa, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Walton were honored with. numerous presentations prior to returning to England. Ernest Fawcett, of Oshawa, started training at Oshawa-on- the-lake to represent the city,jn the CNE swimming contest. Electrification of the Oshawa Railway Company's line to the North Oshawa junction with the CNR system was completed, adding three miles to the com- pany's service. Establishment of a third Child. Welfare Clinic to serve the north section of the city was announced by the Board of Health. City Council ptt sed a bylaw requiring visiting carnivals to pay a license fee of $100 a day. experimental stages yet but holds. great promise. The latest technique of Dr. Arthur M. Vineberg is aimed at giving the heart entirely new coronary arteries. Ten years ago Dr. Vineberg began utilizing for humans his implant operation, whereby a chest artery is transplanted di- rectly into the heart muscle. For three 'years he has also been using the "sponge opera- tion" -- placing a special-type plastic sponge against the heart to encourage blood vessels to grow through from the heart's membraneous layer. Now, as with his 'first-de- veloped operation, Dr. Vineberg is calling on another part of the body for an extra job--the greater omentum. The greater omentum has often been called "the police- man of the abdomen'"' because of its readiness to move to trouble spots within its own area, It is an apron-like structure of fat and blood vessels that is at- tached to the stomach and to the bowel, with three free sides. NEW BLOOD VESSELS In his experiments with the omental-graft operation upon animals, Dr. Vineberg first opens the pericardium--the fi- brous outer covering of the heart. He then removes the epi- cardium, the inner covering, and also removes the serosal-- filmy--layer from the pericar- dium, A piece of the greater omen- tum is detached and wrapped completely about the bared my- ocardium, or heart muscle, and an end is fixed to the aorta-- the main artery. The pericar- dium is then closed. From this procedure Dr. Vine- berg has found new blood ves- sels subsequently growing and delivering blood to the heart. The experiments were re- ported on by Dr. Vineberg and two associates, Dr. Roque Pifarre and Dr. Claude Mercier, in the June issue of the. Cana- dian Medical Association Jour- nal. The human greater omentum has shown a marked affinity for inflamed surfaces and an abil- ity to move to diseased spots-- such as an acute appendix-- within its reach. It also has the ability to wall off inflamed areas. Not known is the mechanism whereby it sets out on these journeys to trouble areas or how it is able to supply de- fences and introduce blood ves- sels to the areas. Because it does these things, however, Dr. Vineberg began wondering whether a detached piece of the greater omentum could also do its job away from its abdominal home. 70 PER CENT SUCCESS As with the experiments and the proven earlier - developed operations, Dr. Vineberg's pur- pose is to get a needed blood supply to the heart in cases of coronary artery disease. Because of the diseased condi- tion the blood supply dwindles. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 27, 1962... The laying of the. first transatlantic cable was completed 96 years ago to- day--in 1866--with the ar- rival of the Great Eastern at Heart's Content, Nfld. from Valentia, Ireland, a distance of 2,134 miles. It marked the establishment of instantaneous communi- cation between Europe' and North America. 1909 -- Orville Wright es- tablished a record for air- craft when he and a_pas- senger remained aloft for one hour, one minute, 40 seconds, 1953--United Nations and Communist delegates met at Panmunjon to sign an armistice ending hostilities in Korea which had begun June 25, 1950. The heart can't do its job be- cause of narrowed or blocked arteries, and the diseased state frequently manifests itself in an- gina pectoris. Both the implant and sponge operations now are being used in a number of hospitals in the United States as well as in Montreal. There have been nearly 100 implant operations in Montreal. Results have been classed good in 70 per cent. Operational mor- i has been three per cent or $8. In this surgical procedure the internal mammary artery, a fully functioning chest artery with good blood supply, is -- within the blood-starved eart. The sponge operation, promot- ing growth of blood vessels into the heart from just outside, has been performed here on 30 per- sons. It has been used particu- larly for the more severe cases and for patients more than 60 years old. Some of the cases were extreme and the over-all mortality has been about 10 per cent. Otherwise, results have again been classed as good in 70 per cent. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "A Baltimore stripteaser was slashed by a bandit and had to have 100 stitches taken." -- News item.

As silly as it is to challenge a moving train for the right of way, it is even more foolish to argue the right of way with a standing train. A women tells us that men are divided into three classes: (1) The Handsome, (2) the intelli- gent, and (3) the great majority. from other right-wing organiza- tions affiliatea with the NSM. "The Canada Youth Organiza. tion in Scarborough, Ont., is one of the most recent units to join," he said. A photographer wanted a pic. ture and Tyndall interrupted his tirade against "the mass sub- culture" to put on his uniform. But first he switched on a pho- nograph. "I don't know whether you like marching music or not..." he mused as he left Nazi war songs blaring behind him. MANY TEEN-AGERS When he marched back in a facsimile Nazi uniform with boots which he admitted were British Army surplus, he paused before a colored picture of Hit- ler and then resumed his spiel. NSM members who fought against Hitler in the Second World War. he. said, now rea- lize they were wrong. He ex- plained the Nazi campaign of mass-murder as "Jewish lies." "Hitler roped in the riff-raff and put them into camps. Some may have died of starvation, but there was a food shortage.' There was another interrup- tion by a small, angry man who demanded records of his daugh- ter's membership be destroyed. Tyndall agreed, and toe ad- mitted ,uch parental complaints were not unusual. A large num- ber of members are teen-agers. Britain has always been con- scious of free speech and has remained unusually indifferent to fascist hate-campaigns which have risen and fallen here for 30 years. But lately even mem- bers of Parliament suggest there is a limit. RIOTED IN LONDON The NSM held a meeting in Trafalgar Square July 1 and 20 persons were arrested after a riot which everybody expected. Thousands of Britons stood as much of the anti-semitism as they could. Then they shrieked insults and finally threw what- ever was handy at the small band of fascists. This violence was the begin- ning of what looks like a long verbal battle over the rights of free speech, Home Secretary R. A. Butler summed up the gov- ernment dilemma: "I deplore the disorder . . . and even more the obnoxious doctrines ex. pressed. But we must not put ourselves in a position of lightly restricting free speech." Colin Jordan, 39-year-old NSM leader, was suspended from his teaching post at a Coventry boy's school after the riot. "I have always left my poli- tics at home," he said bitterly, "and if this leads to dismissal then I.must ware the mantle of 'a martyr, Meanwhile I'll have more time to get back at my enemies." The NSM loves publicity: Al- though most or the reports of the July 1 riot were viciously anti-fascist, clippings cover two huge bulletin boards in Tyn- dall's offices. yo ECM "There is no such thing as bad publicity," Tyndall said. "Our membership has in- creased greatly since the dem- onstration." Among the clippings is a tele- gram from Lincoln Rockwell, commander of the American Nazi party. Wishing the NSM good luck, 't bears the greeting "Heil Hitler." Tyndall fingered his swollen eye where a coin hit him dur- ing the riot, leaned back in a twisted chair and stretched. His boots and leather harness creaked. "Our plans for the Common- wealth include white supremacy of course. And we oppose the Common Market. Jews and Ne- groes would benefit and the white Commonwealth countries would suffer. And we oppose the excessive economic contro] that Jewish industrialists in the United States have over Can- ada." As you leave headquarters, heavy wire grills over windows and doors catch your eye. "We must be prepared" Tyndall explained grimly. 'At any time the Jews and Ne- groes .. ." Surgery In Wheelchair By Paraplegic Doctor By PATRICIA RUSAK TORONTO (CP) -- "All by yourself?" This question, uttered in aston- ished admiration, is often heard by Dr. Mary Verghese of India, a paraplegic who performs sur- gery while sitting in a wheel- chair. It's usually asked when she relates how she travelled unat- tended from India to England and then to New York where, since 1959, she has been train- ing in physical and medical re- habilitation on a_ fellowship granted by the World Rehabjli- tation fund. A diminutive woman of 37 with a soft smile and gentle manner, Dr. Verghese will re- turn in October to India to establish the country's first cen- tre for training students in physical medicine and rehabili- tation. Interviewed during a visit to Toronto, she explained that she became. paralysed from the waist down when her ' spinal cord was severed in an automo- bile accident in 1954. : At the time she was practts. ing and hoping eventually to specialize in obstetrics and gyne- cology at Vellore Christian Med- ical College and hospital near Madras, SPINE FUSED Only after three long opera- tions in which the vertebrae in ww spine were fused to form e solid column of bone was she able to sit up. Then followed many months at Royal Perth Hospital in Aus- tralia where she developed her arm and hand muscles. When she returned to Vellore she learned to manipulate her wheel- chair and soon began doing surgery on persons with de- formed hands. When Dr. Paul Brand, ortho- pedic surgeon and a pioneer in leper rehabilitation, took his fur- lough, Dr. Verghese was able to take charge of his leprosy ward and outpatient clinics. When Dr. Brand returned a year and a half later he. de- scribed her as "'one of the most brig hand surgeons in the ast."' On her return to Vellore, Dr. Verghese will work with physio- therapist Moyna Gordon of Ed. monton who recently set up the college's physiotherapy course with five pupils. Dr. Verghese hopes eventually to set up programs for training students to treat strokes and persons with speech impedi- ments as well as lepers. "Of course I'll have as many patients as I want to start with," she said, explaining there is one doctor for 7,000 persons in India compared one for 1,000 in North America. Early next year Take My Hands, her life story written by Dorothy Clarke Wilson, an American, will be publi: A Royalties will be used to vide crutches, pulleys and other equipment for India. _
