t ; ; : } ; 5 t ; | She Oshawa Fimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1962 -- PAGE 6 No Concrete Proposals For Economic Solutions What Prime Minister Diefenbaker says today in elaboration of the Throne Speech may decide whether or not there will be an early election. Liberal leader Lester Pearson was yelling for the defeat of the govern- 'ment before Parliament convened. Social Credit leader Robert Thomp- son first thought that an early-winter -eléction would not be in the best in- terests of the country, but seems to have changed his mind following the Throne Speech, which disappointed him. NDP leader T. C. Douglas did not like the Throne Speech either, but said he would wait. until Mr. Diefen- baker elaborated on the vague phrases in the Speech before making up his mind about helping to defeat the gov- ernment. Opposition parties never like Throne Speeches, of course, simply be- cause they are in opposition. And the vague language of most Speeches makes criticism fairly easy. But the reaction to last Thursday's Speech is understandable. even outside the con- text of normal opposition. A substan- tial body of degislation was forecast, but the massive problems that face the character are essentially economic in nature, and in this area there was not much more offered than "new budget measures will be introduced to provide further solutions to long- term problems." -- Tax incentives are promised, but these were embodied in the last bud- get. It will be noted that these in the main favor primary producers, while it is secondary manufacturing that develops a high employment rate. Ap- pointment of a national economic de- velopment board is a sound proposal -- if the board is properly constituted and its duties clearly defined. There is a suggestion of more assistance to the already heavily subsidized agricul- tural industry. Something will be done about railway freight rates. And so it goes, with elaboration of fringe mea- sures and vagueness about basic prob- lems. Any detailed criticism, therefore, must await elaboration by Mr. Diefen- baker and his cabinet colleagues -- if they get the time for elaboration. Change In Red Theory No country has ever voted a Com- munist party into power. No country has ever had a mass, popular revolt to put Communist in power -- includ- ing Russia, where the revulsion of the people against feudal excesses and the horrors of war was taking a fairly moderate course until a small but ruthless and highly disciplined group of Communists were able to seize power from the vague theorists and confused democrats who were nomin- -ally in control of the government after the fall of the Czar. The Communist party, trapped by its own doctrine and dialetic, has until recently never been able to face the fact of the utter failure of the Marxist theory of the revolt of the masses. There have been mass revolts, all right, against colonialism and dic- tatorship, but never to replace the old order with Communism. Nevertheless, Communist leaders have persisted in the idea that the mass uprising is the path to power. Now the Soviet theorists seem to be admitting that they have been wrong. An article in Kommunist, a theoretical journal of the central party committee, warns Communist agents against "unjustified zeal" with slogans of violence, and says the masses first have to be "prepared" for Communism. The new formula, says Kommunist, is this: First let a local reformer bring capitalist-imper- ialist institutions under control; then the Soviet Union will be a "shield" protecting the new regime from in- tervention by the imperialists during its transition to outright Communism -- the shield presumably being the Soviet-Union's military power. The new Kommunist formula, of course, might be called the "Cuban gambit'. It has worked in Cuba, with Castro, after his successful campaign against the Batista regime, being drawn inexorably into the Soviet sphere of influence. The Soviet theorists should not be too enthusiastic about the new for- mula, however. They were helped in Cuba by the extraordinarily inept moves of the United States. And Cuba could still be more of a liability than an asset. Big City Strangling A gloomy report on New York comes from the city's Regional Plan Association which hints that by 1985 the community may offer most of its citizens "neither the benefits of the city nor the pleasures of the country- side," the Galt Reporter notes. The re- gion will by then have another six million people and they will be spread far from the centre. Millions will be too far from jobs. To close the gap, there will be a 78 per cent increase in automobiles against a 38 per cent rise in population. The cost of transportation, water, other public facilities, schools and the like will be astronomical. Local gov- ernment outlays are expected to more than double. It is estimated the public -- not the private investment in an in- dividual new home will range around * $20,000. This is the per home cost of all the public services required. The tax burden can be imagined. "What could be true for New York She Oshawa Times T. L, WILSON, Publisher C.

Many planners believe they have reached the point where the "remedies" for their physical ailments only promote new and larger ailments. "In Paris, it was a West German, Dr. Wolfgang Triebel, who suggested that even 700,000 may be too high a top limit on city size. In his view, automobile traffic volume provides a stiff test. Larger cities generate so much traffic they tend to choke them- selves. "The state of North Carolina has achieved some note as a state success- ful in luring new industries -- and often their top executives. One evi- dent appeal is the "livability" of a re- gion with a good sprinkling of urban centres, all under 250,000 in size. Planners who want to start from scratch and build new cities of mo- derate size may be the most practical chaps." Other Editors' Views ROLLING ALONG (Lord Altrincham on the BBC) Many people and communities ter _ to think of tradition as a solid object, handed down from generation to generation;. others think of it as something fluid -- flowing like a river. On the whole, the British and Americans have taken the fluid view. So it is misleading to use static symbols, such as the Crown Jewels or the Statue of Liberty, to express their traditionalism. More suggestive are two great rivers, the Thames and the Mississippi -- Father Thames and Old Man River, dignified and evoca- tive, but forever rolling along. YOUR HEALTH Stroke Obstructs Brain Blood Blow By Joseph G. Molner, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: I had a partial stroke about seven years ago. Since then I have not been able to use my left hand or foot. I am 73. As a child I had a scarlet fever in- fection and am partly deaf in my right ear. Could the infec- tion have caused the stroke? --M.E- Scarlet fever has caused a good many cases of deafness. I doubt 'hat it had anything to do with the stroke, many years later. A stroke is a disturbance of circulation. in the brain, It is usually an obstruction which shuts off the blood flow to some area of the brain, and gener- ally a consequence of harden- ing of the arteries, the normal result of aging. At times a blood vessel gives way to high blood pressure, and the hemorrhage damages the brdin in that area. Either way, some of the brain tissue is damaged and can no longer send, through our nerves the "signals" ordering certain mus- cles to move. The hemorrhage type tends to be more violent and sudden; the obstruction type comes on more gradually. In either case, there may of- ten be some degree of recovery from the paralysis. This can be helped by physiotherapy and exercise shortly after the stroke has occurred. This treatment is not used as much as it should be. It's natural to have little interest in strokes until one occurs in our own family. At that point, it may take some time before we begin to catch up on infor- mation about strokes--and thus valuable time can be lost. Treatment soon after the stroke is important, because when there are no signals for muscles to move that's "paralysis'--the muscles lose tone from inactivity. Stiffness and rigidity begin. REPORT FROM U.K. Traffic Victims To Get Attention By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For the Oshawa Times LONDON -- The growing in- cidence of automobile accidents on the highways of the United Kingdom has brought some positive action from Enoch Powell, Britain's minister of health. In order that prompt and adequate medical attention can bé given to accident victims, in the hope of saving the lives of seriously injured persons, Mr. Powell proposes to establish ac- cident and emergency units with at least 50 beds each to serve each population group of more than 150,000. This new plan for care of acci- denf victims was revealed in a white paper containing the re- port of a special committee which was appointed in Decem- ber, 1959, Its terms of reference were 'to consider the organiza- tion of hospital casualty and ac- cident services and to make recommendations regard- ing their future development." UNITS PROPOSED The new accident and emer- gency units which are proposed in the recommendations would deal with accident victims on the roads, in homes and in in- dustry. The plan had been ap- proved by the Standing Medical Advisory Committee of the Cen- tral Health Services Council. Other recommendations which have been approved include the following: | That the name "'casualty ser- vice" be altered to 'Accident and Emergency Service". Since the last half of the second cen- tury, the term "casualty" has been applied to patients requir- ing temporary treatment for diseases or injuries. That the medical. staffing of the emergency units should be increased to allow each to have three consultant surgeons. These would devote a substantial part of their time to the work with the support of adequate num- bers of intermediate and junior medical staff. That accident units should be adequately staffed at all times, and each should normally serve a population of fewer than 150,- 000. At some hospitals not desig- nated as accident and emer- gency centres there should be provision for the treatment of minor injuries. The minister's white paper says that there is a pressing lif need in the hospital service of England and Wales to review, reorganize and extend the serv- ice adequately to treat all types of injury. This, it asserted, must be viewed as a separate issue from that of ensuring facilities for patients with trivial ail- ments, Emphasizing the effect on the community of the toll of acci- dents, the report says (hat about five million new patients are being seen every year in hospi- tal casualty departments. The numbers rose by 24 per cent be- tween 1953 and 1960. It is estimated that about 40 per cent of these attendances are the result of accident in- juries, but: fewer than one in every 10 leads to admission to hospitals. The paralyzed arms or legs should be kept moving so that the muscles and joints will pe able to respond as the dam- aged brain areas recover to whatever degree they can. In addition, braces can be used to strengthen limbs, some- times permitting a patient :0 walk again when otherwise he could not. More and more special meth- ods are being developed, such as electrical impulses to "sub- stitute" for the absent nerve impulses, thus causing para- lyzed fingers, for exampie, to exercise involuntarily. However, that is a matter for the therapists to handle The important thing for -- patiens (or their relatives) to remem- ber is to proceed with such treatment soon, rather than wait until it cannot do as much good: Dear Dr. Molner: Can all cataracts be removed, and can you see afterward?--M.B. Yes, to both questions--bar- ring some complication noi 'in volve* in the cataract itself, Cataract is a term meaning that the lens in the eye has become so cloudy that it shuts Off much or most of the light. Keep in mind, however, that removing the catratct will not help vision if some other de- fect has impaired the retina or the optic nerve. Your doctor can determine this in advance. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Man is that foolish creatur who shortens his life by work. ing hard to acquire and do 7 ig that further shorten his le. In many a case, another thing that doesn't improve with age is e. "The more spare time people have, the more fatal accidents there are in traffic," says a highway official. Going out and getting killed in traffic is a poor way to spend spare time. Perhaps one reason fat people are considered especially jolly is that they jiggle when they laugh. "What a person doesn't know doesn't hurt him" is far from being true with reference to his paying hidden taxes. Often when a person has to bow to the inevitable, Fate Sneaks up and takes further ad- vantage of him by kicking him in the pants, BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Civic, Chamber of Commerce and company officia's welcomed the first cargo of domestic fuel oil to dock at the Oshawa har- bor, consigned to Anglo Petroleum Limited. Northminster Nailers, cham- pions of the Oshawa and Dis- trict CRA League, also captured the Eastern Ontario Bantam Softball title. C. A. Walker, organist and choirmaster of St. George's Anglican Church, was elected chairman of the newly formed Oshawa Centre of the Canadian College of Oganists. For the second consecutive year Mrs. Irene Clark won the Ladies' Club championship at the Downsview Golf Club. Employees returned to work after a settlement was reached for the nine week old strike at Robson Leather Company. G. Wonnacott was elected Chief Patriarch of Ontario En- campment No. 11 Independent Order of Odd Fellows at the an- nual election of officers. The Shamrock Athletic Club captured the Rotary Club trophy in the Oshawa and Distict track and field meet at Alexandra Park. Wally Mozewsky of the Shamrocks was the outstanding athlete with 11 medals, eight of them gold medal victories. Public Health reported a total of 1,604 children attended the child health centre for the first eight months of the year. Presentation of 11 leather- bound volumes of phonograph records was made to the. Osh- awa Public Library by the Osh- awa Registered Music Teachers' Association. Wallace Young, president and Mrs.'G. E. Flem- ing, secretary-treasurer, made the presentation to the Library's 8 Rev. Dr. George Tel- ford. Phil Samis, defenceman with Oshawa Generals, signed up with the Toronto Maple Leafs along with Fleming Mackell. Heber Down, of Brooklin, took three prizes on his horses and M. Leggett, of Oshawa, won first place in the pony. race at Beaverton fall fair. ° Ottawa Hospitals Differ On Presence OTTAWA (CP)--Two of Ot- tawa's largest hospitals have differing ideas on whether fa- thers should be present at the birth of their children. Ottawa General Hospital, operated by the Grey Nuns, permits husbands to be with their wives during labor and, if they wish, they may observe delivery through a glass parti- tion. At Civic: Hospital, operated by 'the city, an administrative staff member said husbands are not encouraged to stav with their wives during labor. Of Fathers "This may change," the spokesman said. "If it does, it may take time. This is not only a medical problem, it is a matter of community custom and social attitudes." Dr. Henri de Saint Victor, head of obstetrical services at Ottawa General, said many couples, especially young ones, are enthusiastic--even a little --about being together during childbirth. "We like it that way and we encourage them and try to help them as much as possible, It may have a good influence on their life together as a family."* Canadian Polar Bears Once Status Symbols By JIM WHELLY EDMONTON (CP)--Live Ca- nadian polar bears were status symbols in medieval Europe. For 500 years before Colum- bus discovered America, north- ern Canada's bears, white fal- cons, walrus and narwhals were prized by royalty, nobility and clergy not only in Europe, laut as far away as Asia and Af- rica. This lively Arctic export trade has been uncovered in research by T. J. Oleson of the Univer- sity of Manitoba department of history. The eight-foot-long tusk-of the Arctic Ocean narwhal, he says, was often regarded as the horn of the mythical unicorn by men of the middle ages in Europe and until recently was credited with great medicinal value by the Chinese. In the beginning, Europe's polar bears came from Iceland, discovered and settled by Nor- wegians about 860 AD, The bears were carried there on Arctic drift ice. About 880, Ingi- mundr the Old captured two cubs which he took to the king of Norway, Harold the Fair- haired. In return, the king gave him an ocean-going vessel and -a cargo of timber. The value of the polar bear was recognized. GIFT FOR EMPEROR Greenlanders later set traps for the bears as far west as Melville Peninsula near Hudson Bay and their catches usually were given to kings. When the Icelander Isleifr went abroad in 1054 to seek a bishopric in Iceland, he took with him a live polar bear to present to the Holy Roman Em. peror, Henry III. Einar Sok- kason on a similar errand in 1123 gave a polar bear to the Norwegian king, Sigurdr the Crusader. Both missions were successful, Folklore of many European countries preserves the tale of Audunn of Iceland, who spent everything he had to buy a polar bear and took it, about 1064, to King Svein Ulfsson of Denmark. He was rewarded by the king age to Rome, a ship with a valuable cargo and a leather sock filled with silver. The king also offered to make Audunn a member of his household and shower him with honors. The kings of Norway began to use the bears as diplomatic instruments to curry favor with other European rulers. About 1350, King Hakon Hakonarson presented Henry III of England with a polar bear which was kept in the Tower of London and allowed to spend part of each day fishing in the Thames. Another good fisherman was a polar bear that reached Sultan El-Kamil in Damascus about 1233. USED AS RUGS The pelts of polar bears also were sought. They were used in the cold churches of northern Europe as rugs on which a -priest might stand before the altar. Sometimes they were used by barefoot penitents standing outside the church. Moslem writers praised their softness and said many were taken to Egypt. The white falcon in the mid- dle ages drew the attention of royal huntsmen to what now is the Canadian Arctic, especially Baffin Island, where Greenland. ers caught gyrfalcons for ex- port to Europe. When falconry was at the height of its popu- larity, far northern Canada was known to Europe as the Falcon Islands, A dozen white falcons were a king's ransom in 1396 when the Saracens took 12 of the birds in exchange for the captured Duke of Burgundy. Ivory in the middle ages came mainly from the walrus rather than the elephant, and the walrus also reached Europe TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 1, 192... Henry Ford introduced his first Model-T car 54 years ago today--in 1908. It was the first of the 15,000,500 so- called "tin lizzies" that Ford, generally recognized . as the initiator of modern mass production, was to turn out until 1927, when he brought out his Mode]-A. 1674--Galileo, the Italian astronomer and _ physicist, was summoned to Rome by the Inquisition to answer charges of heresy. 1946 -- Top-ranking Nazis were convicted as war crim- inals and sentenced to death including Herman Goering who later committed sui- cide. from Arctic Canada through Greenland. WALRUS HIDE ROPE From walrus tusk came many of the beautiful croziers of med- jeval bishops, exquisitely carved chessmen and many other articles. Ropes made from walrus hide were used for ships' rigging and were so strong, says a 13th cen- tury author, that 60 men pulling on such a rope could not break it. It was in walrus tusks and hides that the papal dues and tithes were paid by the church in Greenland. All these products, as well as the furs of many kinds of Arc- tie animals and animal oils for the lamps of medieval man reached Europe until the disap- pearance of the Icelandic set- tlements in Greenland at the beginning of the 16th century. Once the Scandinavian' con- nection was broken, Canada's Arctic wildlife almost ceased to reach the royal courts, although Europe has never really lost in- terest in the noble polar bear, which may now be seen in al- most every European country. Dr. de Saint Victor satd not - all women want their husbands present. Some felt they looked awful and didn't want to be seen that way. s The Civic Hospital spokesman ge welfare of the patient e 'doctor's res; ili and the hospital's doa cnr ation. The chances of infection increased with each itional person allowed close fo the pa- tient during delivery. He said that a few years. a U.S. hospital barred all visit, ors in the maternity wing and, Popular, infection dropped , infectio sharply. . "The Civic has no intention of adopting such a policy but that example serves to emphasize the chances of infection which a hospifal must guard against." Mrs. Robert Milner, chair- 'man of the Canadian Mother. craft Society in Ottawa, said - that unless men have been pre- pared and trained, "'being pres- ent at delivery can be quite upsetting."" FAVOR 'HIS PRESENCE She said society feels that if a husband has some t for his role, if both husban and wife agree and if the archi- tecture of the hospital permits, the husband should be allowed to stay during labor. The hus- band should also be present in the delivery room if the doctor gives permission and there are adequate facilities. Mrs. Edna R. Hall, an execu- tive member of the Natural Childbirth Association, said all hospitals should provide facili- ties for husbands to be with their wives during labor. It was only a short step from there to the delivery room and she hoped husbands would be per. mitted there eventually. . Mrs. Hall said that if a man is trained in natural childbirth and understands what is hap pening he can be of help to his wife--sometimes just by saying the right thing. "All hospitals: feel that a woman needs companionship during labor and a nurse is usually with her," she said. "But we feel the woman's hus- band is her best companion if he has been trained in natural childbirth." GALLUP POLL "TS. President's Wife Lively Topic For Talk (World Copyright Reserved). By The American Institute of Public Opinion PRINCETON, N.J.--Not since Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt occu- pied the White House has a First Lady been the subject of so much conversation as is Jacqueline Kennedy. To get some idea of just what makes up the public's "image" of Mrs, Kennedy, the Gallup Poll talked with men and women across the nation, of all political persuasion, asking them to state what they liked best and least about the present First Lady. Assaying the pros and cons, Mrs. Kennedy emerges with a highly favorable image. Favorable comments about her centre largely on Mrs. Ken- nedy as a person -- her good looks, her personality, her intelligence. On the adverse side, com- ments tend to deal more with actions taken by the First Lady -- her travels abroad, the clothes she wears, her sports activities. Summing up, the public likes Jacqueline Kennedy for what she IS. They criticize her for what she DOES. Gallup Poll reporters sought the nation's view of Mrs. Ken- nedy by means of the following questions: "Of course every person in public life has his or her good and bad points. Thinking of Jacqueline Kennedy--the presi- dent's wife--I'd like to ask you first what things you like best about her?" Analyzing the statements made, these words and phrases appeared most frequently: Like Best About Mrs. Kennedy? 1, Attractive, pretty, good-look- ing . 2. Good personality 3. Intelligent, educated 4, Makes a good impression abroad 5. Interested in culture - 6. Good mother 7. Friendly, warm 8. Good mixer 9. Poise 0. Sweet, nice Also. frequently 'mentioned were the following words or phrases: gracious, spirit and animation, does her job well, speaks foreign languages, youth- ful, public manner, a ' wife, ladylike, sensible, natural. ' ADVERSE COMMENTS To see what the public is critical of with the First Lady, Persons were then asked: "And what are the things you like least about her?" ' The words and phrases men- tioned most frequently were: Like Least about Mrs. Kennedy? Travels too much, away from family In the limelight too much Don't like her hair-do Her taste in clothes Undignified Her voice, way she talks Spends too much money, wastes money Pictures in the paper in a.. bathing suit Doesn't wear right attire to church . Too much social life, parties, etc. Also heard by Gallup Poll re- porters were.the following criti- cisms: a show-off, rides horses too much, snobbish, too fun- loving, unaware of common people, too much involved in politics. The findings also reveal that it is much easier for the Ameri- can people to think of some- thing g about Mrs. Kennedy than it is for them to point to something bad. About 10 times as many per- sons could think of nothing criti- cal to say as could think of nothing favorable about the First Lady. and 2 2 AaB. p _ -- new and beautiful | Cee ee eee HAIRSTYLING by URSULA This is your invitation to attend the opening of our - 112 Simeoe St. N. ee ea salon.
