Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER .19, 1962 -- PAGE 6 -Price Of Peace Should Not Cover Extravagance : 'When Air Marshal H. L. Campbell ' handed over. command of the RCAF * to Air Marshall C. R. Dunlap last week, he made a speech. In it he said: ' "We Canadians have enjoyed peace ' gince the Second World War -- al- though it has been a peace marred by inroads upon the liberty and free- » dom of many peoples, and by violence ' in parts of the world outside of the NATO orbit. It has been secured, * primarily, by the measures which the * NATO countries, including Canada, + have taken -- unilaterally and collec- i} tively -- to protect themselves against ' aggression. It has. been secured' by " allied armed forces of a size unprece- dented in peacetime. It has. been secured by substantial expenditures ; of money and resources." ' So far, so good. Up to that point, the Air Marshal was on solid ground (or should it be 'flying a sound : gourse?'). But then he said: "T would like to ask -- has the price Church Eyes Church organizations have often been accused of being out of touch with reality, of failing to see and ponder what is going on around them. The accusation cannot be directed against the United Church after its Council this week took a progressive and courageous stand on the divorce question. The Church went on record as ap- proving divorce "in some circum- stances", calling for a royal commis- sion to examine suggestions to in- clude desertion, cruelty and insanity among grounds for divorce, in ad- dition to 'adultery, and urging the abolition of parliamentary divorce. Canada's divorce laws badly need been too high in terms of the peace we have enjoyed?" - If the Air Marshal loaded his planes the way he loaded that question, they'd never get off the ground. But perhaps we can load a few of our own. For example: Does military waste contribute to peace? Do the houses built for officers at extravagant cost, and the cosy re- tirement arrangements of our armed forces, intimidate our enemies? Does our high ratio of civilian and military "service" personnel to combat-ready troops send shivers of apprehension through the troops who look west across the Berlin Wall? No sir, Air Marshal, sir. Canadians are willing to pay the price for peace. But they'd like some assurance that they're getting value for thir money-- and a lot of them are beginning to think that they could have got the same results with a lot less money. Divorce revision. The insistence on adultery as the only reason for the granting of a divorce decree has led to a scandalous flouting of the law and a messy traffic involving "investi- gators," professional co-respondents and staged displays of "infidelity". It has been, and will continue to be, a dirty business as long as men and women, whose marriages in fact no longer exist, are forced by the blind restrictions of the law either to commit adultery or to perjure them- selves. The stand: taken by the United Church may convince the timid legis- lators, finally, that a more enlightened approach must be taken to the matter of divorce in Canada. Bungling Experiment When the United States announced that one of its nuclear tests in the South Pacific would be an explosion at high altitude, there was strong and immediate criticism from scien- tists around the world. They pointed ' out that the test could have extremely " unfortunate effects on radiation belts ' around the earth; it was also pointed ' out that one nation had no right to conduct an experiment that could affect the global environment. But despite the protests, the United States went ahead with the high altitude explosion. The test had a profound influence on the Van Allen radiation belt, and now even U.S. authorities are worried about it. The moderate Christian Science Monitor, for example, charges that "there is reason to think it (the damage to the belt) is a good deal more serious than the authorities in Washington have let the public know." The Monitor continues: "It is quite possible than an im- portant radiation handicap has been placed on all journeys into outer space, those of all nations, and that it may not diminish substantially in the life- time of those presently concerned. There is a new man-made band of intense radiation, now estimated to be 3,000 miles thick and extending for 3,600 miles in the north-south direction, with its peak intensity 2,400 miles out -- which covers the best available routes from mid-hemis- phere countries into outer space... The fact if this new handicap is being glossed over by the often repeated phrase that this was an 'unexpected' result of the United States' first high altitude nuclear test. This is non- sense. There was an international warning from physicists of many coun- tries ... There is a strong hint of bullheaded incompetence." Voting By Neutralists There is no doubt that the attitudes of many of the nations (most of them newly independent) in the "neutralist" Afro-Asian bloc are often irritating to Westerners. The irritation shows itself in charges that they are too often neutral in favor of the East against the West. A study of recorded - votes in the United Nations Assembly, however, indicates that they are, in She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, PA blisher C.

Francis O. Wilcox, who served as assistant secretary of state in charge of UN affairs during the Eisenhower administration, has just completed a study of UN Assembly voting on 80 important roll calls. He found that on the 80 votes, the non-aligned or neutral countries fre- quently split among themselves, They supported the United States view 26.1 per cent of the time, and the Soviet view 29.2 per cent of the time. But he points out that many times the Soviet bloc voted with the non-aligned bloc to curry favor. In other words, the Communists were supporting the neutrals, not the other way around. In 31.8 per cent of the cases, the non- aligned bloc voted differently from both the United States and the Soviet Union.

J The coccyx is the tailbone. it's a projection from the bot- tom of the spiné, which, theory has it, may be a vestige of many, many years ago, when the fore-runners of mankind had tails. If this projection is damaged by a fall, frankly there isn't much that can be done about it. Surgery may be advisable in some extremely severe cases, but these are not anywhere, near as common as is the type of injury that doesn't disable its victim but annoys him for what seems an endless period before it finally heals. If we bruise or otherwise damage an elbow, we automati- cally favor it until it heals: We don't lean on it. We are care- ful not to bump it. But the coccyx is located where it is subjected to pres- sure when we sit down. It's dif- ficult to favor the spot. My best suggestion is that anyone suffering from an in- jured coccyz experiment to find the chair and the position that permits the easiest sitting. An inflatable cushion sometimes helps considerably. Patience is also an essential part of the cure. Dear Dr. Molner: I read your REPORT FROM U.K. Cornish Council Rough On Chough By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times PENZANCE, Cornwail -- The members of the county counci) of Cornwall have red faces at the moment. They are being caused by a green bird with yel- low legs and beak. The bird, which is supposed to be a Cor- nigh chough (pronounced chuff) shas adorned the coat of arms of the county council since 1939. But the council has just discov- ered, almost by accident, that the bird shown on the coat of arms, green in color, is actually an Alpine chough. The Cornish chough, which is now almost ex- tinct, is black with scarlet legs and bill. Because of this discovery, workmen are now busy repaint- ing hundreds of green choughs black, and changing their legs and beak from yellow to scar- let. The coat of arms appears on all county vehicles and many signs throughout Cornwall, and orders have been given for all of them to be changed to the color- ings of the Cornish bird. FEEL FOOLISH A county council official, ac- knowledging the error, says: "We all feel rather foolish about this, The mistake was brought to our attention by some observant visitors who saw the plaque on the new Tamar bridge as they were entering Cornwall for their holidays. One wrote to us and two called us by tele- phone to inform us of the mis- take in the bird, "Then, to cap it all, a former official of the Plymouth city council drew our attention to the same mistake. Someone must have slippéd up when the coat of arms was originally approv- ed some 23 years ago." CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE The discovery of this error by the county council will mean al- tering the crests on nearly 200 council-owned vehicles, includ- ing fire service vehicles and am- bulances. The chains of office and coats of arms which hang in civic buildings throughout the county will have to be changed, and the county guide books will have to be redesigned. Edward Verger, clerk of the county council, says: "It may involve considerable expense. The matter will be placed before the whole county council as soom 'as Sir John Carew Pole; the chairman rs ' and non-voters is as follows: also Lord Lieutenant of Corn- wall, returnes from his holidays. From his holiday resort, Sir John said: "In my opinion the error should be put right at once, re- gardiess of expense. As chair- man of the Tamar Bridge Com- mittee, I have already given in- structions for the bridge plaque to be put right and repainted." Reference to the Encyclopedia Britannica reveals the following description of the Cornish chough. "Now rare. Recognized by its black plumage and bright red legs: and red curved beak.' Because of its rarity, it is just possible that none of the mem- bers of the 1939 county council ever saw a Cornish chough. And apparently none of them thought of looking up the encyclopedia to secure a correct description of the bird with which they wished to adorn the county coat of arms. article about the woman who complained that her fingers cracked from detergent. I had the same trouble. My thumbs would no more heal than they'd crack on the other side. I changed brands of wash powder and also of liquid detergents. So I returned to what I used for dishes before my hands began to crack. I haven't had a cracked thumb in a year now.-- E. 8. Thank you, E. S. One per- son's pie is another's poison.

"Treatment in Canada is based on the idea of having the best methods and services available, and combining use of correct drugs with physical therapy, rest, surgery, and gen- oa regulation of the patient's "In the United States we have only two hospitals devoated solely to the treatment of arthri- is.: We are following Canada's operations carefully, but because the medical system is quite different, it is difficult to transpose the system in its en- tirety.

The U.S. director said that al- though arthritis is one of the oldest, diseases known to man, 'the problem was not attacked as a separate disease until 1948. One of the reasons, he ex- plained, is that arthritis is not one specific disease--but a' clas. - sification for more than 60 bone. joint disorders, Faia od 2 erga of umatoid and arthritic sym nee ga was discovered in 1988, the same year that the sensi- tized sheep cell test was first 4 made.

As already reported here the committee has been going to work on development of a hand- icrafts and souvenir industry. And it also is paying some attention to the Indians. NOT USED Our Indian population repre- sents a substantial tourist as- set which at present is made use of practically not at all. Our many reservations in themselves could be an attrac- tion to tourists with a little dressing up and showmanship, And beyond this there is a wealth of native skills and creative faculties peculiar to the Indians which are not being worked. This could be largely the fault (if that is what it is. ' BY-GONE DAYS 'skin troubles. Dear Dr. Molner: Is there any way one can determine if ones own breath is offensive? I often have an unpleasant taste in my mouth and am _ self-conscious about my breath. As you know, no one is ever told about this condition. Is there anything to be done besides gargling and keeping the teeth clean? -- D. M., F. Many 'people are overly con- cerned about bad breath when they do not have it; most who do have offensive breath aren't aware of it. The best thing to do is to ask a relative or close friend to tell you. In cases of bad breath there is more to consider than gar- gling and brushing teeth. Some people with rather uneven teeth may have crannies in which bits of food become jammed and decay fragrantly. Gum dis- eases can have a bad odor; so can bad tonsils, nasal infec- tions, or ailments of throat or lungs. Bronchietasis is one such. Obviously, neither gargles noi ioothpastes can do much about some of these causes. They must be found and cured. GALLUP POLL U.K. Government Fate Tied To Common Mart By BRITISH INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Mr. Macmillan's Government ds faced with a difficult situa- tion and it begins to look, what was not necessarily the case previously, that its electoral chances could be closely bound up 'with Britain's fate in rela- tion to the Common Market. The British public, however, has rejected the charge that Memillan has been harsh in his handling of former' minis- ters. The view prevails that re- cent by-election réverses had forced his hand. He had acted courageously putting new life into the Government at the pos- sible cost of his own political life. Public support for, the three major parties has not been greatly affected by the events of the past few weeks. A care- ful analysis of many factors indicates that at the next Gen- eral election -- which must be held within the next two years the Conservative Govern- ment will be returned with a working majority.

Juan Peron' $s military dict- tatorship in Argentina came to an end seven years ago today--in 1955--when he re- signed in the face of mili- tary pressure. Peron had been president since 1946, three years after he played a leading role in the coup d'etat that overthrew Ra- mon Castillo': government. 1889 -- A landslide from Citadel Rock in Quebec City killed 45 persons. 1854--The first sleeping car patent was granted to Henry Meyer for his method of converting the backs of seats into beds called) of the Indians them- selves. Commercialism has little at- traction to them. But also it is partly the fault of government for not giving them more leadership. PRODUCED $20,000 Leadership can be effective here. One' small instance to prove this is the case of the Ojibway band at Curve Lake Reserve near Peterborough. A year ago two members of the band, Clifford Wetung and his wife got it started on handi- crafts. Mr. and Mrs. Wetung had a souvenir shop and they were tired of selling articles "made in Hong Kong'. They got the men and women on the reserve started making moccasins, fancy baskets, head- dresses, dolls and other sou- venir products. In the year since they have workeg up quite a striking line of crafts.

Investigators on the west coast are re-examing the role of irifection in certain forms of arthritis, and studying the chemistry of tissues injured by delayed sensitivity reactions: Other teams on the Prairies are studying the way in which joints are injured by freezing-- with a possible connection to arthritis. But the 285,000 victims in Canada who are totally or par- tially disabled by the disease are being treated. "We're. -hoping enthusiasm such as that in the Canadian society will soon catch on in the United States," said Dr, La- mont-Havers who is a graduate of the University of Toronto and University of British Columbia. The doctor spent his intern- ship at Montreal, and in 1955 was appointed medical director of the Arthritis and Rheuma- tism Society in New York City. "We're eagerly watching Can. ada's progress in this highly- specialized field," Dr. Lamont. Havers said, "and we're follow- ing right along behind."
