Bee ee se as bo She Oshawa Fimes | wae Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited> 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontarie T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Atmosphere Of Crisis Bringing Out Termites One of the results of the Cuban crisis has been the clarification, of the political attitudes of many sup- porters of various ban-the-bomb and friendship-with-Cuba movements. The heated atmsphere of | crisis has brought out of the woodwork the ter- mites who gnaw within such well- meaning but vacuous organizations. It was Walter Reuther, we believe, who. once remarked that if a thing looked like a duck, had feathers like a duck, waddled like a duck and quacked like a duck, he had to pre- sume that it was a duck. One can apply similar tests in the present situation. If a person: rejects all U.S. evidence of an offensive buildup in Cuba as "fake" and "lies"; accepts without qualification Russian protestations of innocence; insists that the policies and actions of Russia, the only country that has created a colonial empire through military: aggression since 1945, are purely defensive, and that the policies and actions of the United States, a country that has committed no aggression. in that period but has, 'in fact, helped at least one other country (the Philip- pinés to independence, are purely aggressive argues that only the warmongering Americans block the ~: achievement of disarmament; appears to believe that only American nuclear weapons are dangerous -- well, one can only' presume that such person prefers Russian behavior, policies and ideas, to the extent that he or she would be quite happy if Russia des- troyed the United States. If it has done nothing else, then, the Cuban crisis has revealed the dangerous hypocrisy of those chronic embassy - demonstrators who have been hiding behind convenient ban- ners. Fallout Measurement A few days ago there were big headlines proclaiming that there had been a marked increase in the levels of: Strontium 90 and Iodine 1381 in frésh milk in Canada, the result of the recent resumed nuclear tests. The announcement was made by Agricul- ture Minister Hamilton, and it was linked in some reports with a re- search program that has been started to.examine possible courses of action in' case the level of dangerous ele- ments in milk reaches a critical point. The reorts may well have created fears in many minds about the drink- ing of fresh milk, particularly since less prominence was given Mr. Ham- ilton's following statement that, des- pite the Strontium increase, the na- tion's milk ly is quite safe; the leyels are substantially below those for which remedial action wou!d be considered. necessary. The fact is that milk is mentioned, when fallout levels are reported, simply because milk is the commo- dity that is used for the purpose of taking measurements -- and this is because milk samples that can be taken throughout the year are repre- sentative of a large volume of pro- duction over a wide area. The measurements do not indicate that fallout material may be present in milk any more than in other com- modities. Indeed, insofar as Strontium 90 is concerned, milk is one of the safest of foods because the high level of calcium in milk reduces the effects of Strontium 90. Nevertheless, it is a pity that some other means of measuring fallout is not devised. Scare stories about Strontium 90 in milk could induce fearful parents to keep this valuable food from their children. Problem Of Congestion A UAW brief to the provincial gov- ernment has sparked a, wide-ranging discussion about the siting of industry in Ontario, and this in turn could lead to a government study of the effects on the province of the increasing lization of industry in the Toronto region. 'It is interesting, therefore, to note tat Britain has a similar problem, bit on a more massive scale. The prob- lem there is the concentration of in- diistry and population in the south- est corner of the country, with Lon- don as the centre. *By the end of last year, 37 per cent of England's population was squeezed info the nine small countries in the sdjitheast that comprise only about 15:per cent of the country's total area. It is estimated that by 1981, the pro- portion of population will be more tian 40 per cent. More and more of the fine agricultural land, particularly in Kent, Sussex and Surrey, is going of production to provide housing fer the people massing around Lon- den. - "Our London correspondent, Mc- Intyre Hood, writes that "apart from the. busy industrial section of the Midlands, the rest of England is rapidly being regarded as a sort of backwater in which industry is not inferested...

These are all conditions brought on directly by the movement of people from outside the area into the Lon- don. suburbia." Britain's entry into the. Common ~ Market would undoubtedly. accelerate the push to the southeast. A government research team has been assigned to make a massive survey of the problem. Meanwhile, it is being suggested that there be nore control of the movement of new in- dustry, that industries be given in- ducements to go to less heavily in- dustrialized areas, that the London "overspill" be moved to loéalities well away from London. The fear is that the cramming of industries into the congested south- east cannot go on much longer with- out. creating a situation beyond the power of any government to control. And that is exactly the possibility that exists for the Ontario govern- ment in the Metro area. Other Editors' Views TOY LIBRARY (UNESCO News) , Variety is the spice of life, even when you are four or five years old. The young members of a toy library in Copenhagen can prove this when, every Wednesday afternoon, they are able to choose a different doll, or mechanical toy, a pair of roller skates or a model house construction set from among a host of exciting play- things. The toy library is run on the same lines as an adult public library. If the toy is returned in good con- dition, the borrowed gets a mark on his card. When he has 20 marks, he is allowed to choose a toy as a reward. If a member loses or breaks a toy, he gets a "U" mark (for untidy) ard is not allowed to borrow angther for one or two weeks.

McINTYRE HOOD Special ondon (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times I have been looking on at a wild and hilarious celebration in which more than a thousand of London's East Enders danced sang and cheered in the streets of Bethnal Green. It was a victory celebration of an unusual nature. They were celebrating the fact that they had fought -- and won -- a battle for their homes, Their homes are located in an estate owned by Greecoat Prop- property company is Ronald Armstrong-Jones, father-in-law of Princess Margaret. For months a battle has been wag- ing between this company and the Bethnal Green Council when all the tenants were asked to pay greatly increased rents or face eviction. The battle ended when the company agreed to sell the whole estate to the council for $1,440,000 a real bargain price, so that the occupants are now tenants of the council in- stead of a property company. OVER 1000 APARTMENTS Five stores and 1018 apart- menis are included in the pur- erties. Deputy-chairman of the YOUR HEALTH Advised To Wait chase deal made by the council. And it marked the end of a re- sistance movement which began at the beginning of this year when 2 tenants faced eviction for refusing to pay higher rents. In their fight against rent in- creases, 900 tenants marched across London and demonstrat- ed at the Eaton Square home of Lord Broughshane, chairman of the $9,000,000 Greencoat Proper- ties Company. They marched through the night to the Har- penden home of Dr. Charles Hill, when he was minister of housing: When he was succeed- ed in that post by Sir Keith Joseph, they staged another march to his home in Chelsea. PURCHASE ORDER As a result of ail this, Sir Keith Joseph in August grant- ed a compulsory purchase, or expropriation order, to Beth. nal Green Council for slightly more than 200 of the apartments in. 20 tenement blocks.' Three weeks of negotiations went on between the council .and the company. Then like a bolt from : the blue came the surprise an- nouncement that Greencoat : Properties had decided to sell _ the whole of this estate, known _ tory was dramatic. For Ear Piercing By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Can pierced ears result in blood poisoning? I've been stepped on and the skin ripped while herding a bull in a pen barefoot and didn't get it. I've stepped on rusty nails in the desert and didn't even need a bandage. But my mother says I can't have my ears pierced because I'll get blood poisoning. Is this true? Please hurry your reply. --JANE N. Do you want to find out about blood poisoning, or having your ears pierced? I don't recommend stepping on rusty nails, or being stepped on by a bull, because either may (not will) open the way for blood poisoning, or tetanus, or infection, Piercing thé ears may (not will) cause any of these things, depending on whether dangerous germs happen to en- ter the wound. I approve of ear piercing only under strictly an- tiseptic conditions. Maybe I sound 'ike an old fogey to you, and maybe I am, but why don't you respect your mother's wishes at least until you are older? Old enough not to step on rusty nails or be stepped on, barefoot, by bulls. Anyway, the safe way is to have your doctor do the piercing. " Dear Dr. Molner: I will be 50 in November. My doctor says my tonsils should be removed. Is there any other treatment be- sides surgery? I understand that bleeding is a problem in such cases.--S, B. It's true that there sometimes may be (not necessarily will be) more bleeding in an adult than in a child. Whatever the reason for this, doctors would rather remove a child's tonsils than an adult's. Therefore they don't tell adults that the tonsils ought to come out unless the need is unmis- takable. It's a nuisance, I real- ize, for a man of 50 to have his tonsils removed, but if they are bad enough to cause the doctor to urge surgery, then I'd have no hesitation in saying yes. Dear Dr. Molner: Do vita- mins taken independently of good benefit the bodv, or must they be taken with food to be effective? What about natural or synthetic vitamins?-- M. E. G. Vitamins are chemicals, They are vitally needed, although in but tiny quantities. It doesn't make any difference whether they are taken with or without. food. Thev are naturally present in food. As long as we get these traces of chemicals, that's suf- ficient, whether they are "na- tural" or "synthetic," They are complicated the same, chemically, and your body doesn't care. You can also eat steak for breakfast and ba- con and eggs for supper if you prefer. The only question is to eat what your body needs. Dear Doctor: Is it possible for .= to live without salt?-- That's an "'iffy" sort of ques- tion. If you mean living without the kind of salt you put in a salt-shaker, yes, because most foods, even those we don't con- sider '"'salty," have at least a trace of natural salt. Some have quite a bit. There is no such thing as a "'salt - free diet." Only a low-salt diet. An added "'iffy" aspect of your question is that if a person lived in a cool climate the year round, and never worked up a sweat, he could get along with less salt than if he worked strenuously in a hot climate. This is because we lose salt ra- pidly as we perspire, and that's why people in very sweaty jobs, such as working in a foundry, may need salt tablets to ward off collapse from the heat. It's really "collapse from loss of salt." as the Waterlow Estate, to the F council, The announcement of this vic- Alderman Albert Jacobs, chairman of the Bethnal Green Housing Com- mittee, speaking from the top of a truck, announced the news to a great crowd of the resi- dents on one of the main streets of the district. That started off the celebration. Hundreds. of men, women and children living in the area cheered, sang and danced on the street after hear- ing the announcement. Said Al- derman Jacobs: "Tt is great news -- a great victory. By sticking together the way you have done you have shown the landlords and per- haps the politicians that people still matter. The purchase price agreed upon works out at about $1440 for each apartment. We have got a good bargain." "Their price was very close indeed to the offer we made," said another councillor. "There is no doubt we have made a bargain and our success should give heart to other councils and tenants who are dealing with landlords." And the people are very happy over the whole affair. They give the, credit to their committee, witich worked un- ceasingly to bring pressure to bear on the housing authorities who finally approved the com- pulsory purchase order, BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Oshawa General Hospital Board decided at a_ special meeting to engage a Toronto firm to make an_ institutional survey into the administration of the hospital with a view to finding more efficient methods of financing, purchasing and operation.

And then, although this had the makings of a major news story, it went almost to- tally unreported. Headlines might well have screamed all across Canada: "Press Gallery suppresses free- dom of the press." But the curious point about our hounds of press freedom is that, like Sherlock Holmes' hound in the night, there was no warning he facts appear to be as fol- lows. Dr. Raymond Rogers had been Ottawa correspondent for the magazine Saturday Night, and accordingly had been ad- mitted to membership of the Press Gallery, He then became a part-time book publisher, and part-time parliamentary colum- nist for the St. Catharines Stan- dard; and applied for associate membership of the gallery. This was refused by the executive of the gallery, reportedly on the grounds that 'this would con- travene the constitution of the gallery, and might open the way to similar applications". JUDGE AND JOURNALIST Then, for the first time in nearly a century, the gallery found itself subjected to the pro- cess of the law. Dr. Rodgers went to court, where a judge, week petitioned the Commons for facilities pre ling him "to carry on his profession of a newspaper correspondent and thereby provide a livelihood for himself and family." , Thus, in effect, a newspaper man, paid by a Canadian daily paper to describe parliamentary proceedings for readers, had to petition first a lower court, and then the highest court in the land,*for access to the many and valuable and indispensable facilities provided by Parlia- ment for the purpose of obtain- ing the widest possible dissemi- nation of reports iof what Parlia- ment does, These facilites range from the unique privilege of making notes. in galleries in the cham- bers of Parliament, to the use of office space, furniture, sta- tionary, telephones, official re- ports and clerical services pro- vided by Parliament -- and of course paid for by the taxpayer. This expenditure is justified on the grounds of informing the public fully about government. Enjoyment of these facilities is opened by membership in the gallery.
