ah Oshawa Ties Published.by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E,, Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Students Are Penalized By Different 'The British North America Act gave the provinces responsibility for education. As a result, each province has its own school system and both methods and standards can vary wildly, There have been some spora- dic efforts made to equalize stan- dards between provinces but without any substantial degree of success. «The penalty for the lack of stan- yee is paid by the students © must move from one province te another -- as thousands do each year. A mother of five school-age children goes into detail about this penalty in an article in the current issue of Imperial Oil Review. Regina housewife Mrs, Pat O'Brien, whose children have attended school in three provinces, says that students moving from one part of Canada to another are faced with one or all of at least three problems: Different provinces require dif- ferent amounts of time to complete high school and this makes it diffi- eult to place student transfers; Standards schools in different provinces study different subjects at different times and consequently transfer students 'may repeat or niiss some subjects; some provinces place greater im- portance on certain subjects -- Latin, for instance others. Her investigations led her to con- clude that 20 per cent of the 110,000 students who annually move from one province to another have serious difficulty adjusting to the new curricula, It produces failures and dropouts, puts a needless strain on students and parents and in some cases imposes the added financial burden of special tutoring. There is clearly a crying need for some reasonable amount of standar- dization, but it will be a long, slow process. Even within a province such as Ontario students and par- ents must pay the price of the extreme and unreasonable latitude allowed boards, schools and indi- vidual teachers by a complaisant department of education. Our Specific Problem One of the points made in an ad- dress to the annual meeting this week of the Bank of Montreal by President G. Arnold Hart was this: There is a vast difference between financing a deficit and correcting a deficit position. He noted; "What we (Canada) have defini- tely accomplished thus far is to provide once again an atmosphere conducive to an inflow of capital from abroad 'to finance our current international deficit, What we have not succeeded in doing as yet is to _ eliminate or even to reduce mater- fally the deficit itself. It might seem that. this problem could be solved by drastically cutting down imports either by tariffs or through direct controls, Such policies, how- ever, create at least as many prob- lems as they solve. What we must find is a solution which combined the dual objectives of attaining balance in Canada's external posi- tion under conditions of expand- ing trade, and at the same time providing for hdalthy growth in the domestic economy." The solution calls for new ideas, fresh approaches -- and their ap- plication will probably call for some sacrifices. But a start could be made, we think, if the deficit prob- lem were stated more precisely. We do not have a "foreign" payments; problem; we have a "United States" payments problem. With every other country in the world, except Ven- ezuela, we enjoy a favorable balance of trade. We are in a hole because we buy a great deal more from the United States than we sell there. That is the specific problem. Conservative Rebellion Rebel British Conservatives who oppose Prime Minister Macmillan's pro-Common Market policy, seem Pleased by the recent byelection re- sult in South Dorset and may gdopt the South Dorset strategy in future elections, according to our London correspondent, McIntyre Hood. "A Labor candidate was elected fn South Dorset for the first time in history, But the Conservative yote was split, with an anti-Kuro- mart Tory candidate opposing the official party nominee. The influ- ential former holder of the seat backed the rebel. » Now, according to London re- ports, between 40 and 50 anti- Gommon Market candidates, most of them Conservatives, are likely to contest marginally-held Conser- vative seats in the next general @ection. This, with the stronger challenge from the Labor and Liberal parties, could well mean a decisive Tory defeat in the general election. The isolationist Conservatives ap- parently are willing to put their mity out of office, if that is the enly way they can stop Macmillan P T. L.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times DUBLIN, Eire -- The Irish Republic is suffering, and that is the word by which the Loyal Irish people describe it -- from an invasion of wealthy foreign- ers and the Irish don't like it, In the last two or three years, big land deals by whieh for- eignérs, mostly Germans and Americans, have acquired valu- able tracts of the most scenic areas in the Emerald Isle. This has reached so la-ge a scale that Irish people ure adopting a strongly hostile atti- tude towards such land deals, which they describe as selling Ireland's 'cultural heritage." Public agitation has taken the form of strong pressure on the Government of Eire to stop these foreign purchases of bar- ren rocky foreshore around the scenie coast, and more parti- cularly, of several off-shore islands. These islands seem to be particularly attractive to in- vestors and speculators. YOUR HEALTH Arthritis Remains Painful, Puzzling By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I have been an arthritic and a wheelchair invalid for 15 years but am only 50, Two doctors say I had rheumatoid arthritis but some 10 others say it is osteoarthri- tis. The V.A, says it is osteo. Why is it we hear that they have found help for rheumatoid but not for osteo?--V.J.W, d large, rheumatoid ar- by far the worse, but not neatly so prevalent.

It is the The fact of the matter is that term we use to describe joints the economic and political realities of Britain's position will force the next British government, be it Labor .or Conservative, to make a European deal -- if Macmillan has failed to conclude the deal before the next general election, Other Editors' Views CHEAPER DRUGS (Windsor Star) Federal authorities suggest that amendments to the Food and Drugs Act may result in somewhat lower prices for drugs, The new bill will rigidly control the distribution of drug samples to doctors, dentists, veterinarians, and pharmacists, Certainly the large drug com- panies have been spending large amounts on these free samples and on the salesmen who distribute them to the professions. The theory is the companies can save money by not doing this andsso be able to make adjustments in¢their prices. The main purpose is to preyent new drugs which may be dangerous, as thalidomide was, from being dis- seminated. If the legislation results in lower priced drugs, so much the better. Bible Thought Ye shall be holy; for I am holy. -- I. Peter 1:16, : Man is.made in the image of God and has the possibilities of becom. ing like Him, that have become worn or dam- aged. Or, more likely, both. It is the result of wear and tear. It is true that we can do something for rheumatoid arth- ritis. We can, by proper care, limit somewhat the amount of damage it does while it is in its active phase, Candidly and sadly I admit that we do not know very much, but it is not for want of effort and study, It is a savage disease, difficul to control and to understand. (Remember that rheumatoid arthritis can strike at any age. It is not a disease of old people. Osteoarthritis, on the other hand, for the most part devel- ops late in life.) When an acute attack of rheumatoid arthritis has run its course, and the inflammatory period has ended, what is the result? It is deformity in the joints that have been attacked. Deformities of a different na- ture oecur with osteoarthritis. The two conditions can exist as a mixed form of joint disease in the same patient. Hence we do all we can to reduce the immediate danger from rheumatoid arthritis, for there isn't much we can do after the damage has occyrred. Not much -- byt something. Aspirin, or its equivalent, re- mains as effective as anything we know, both in combatting inflammation and easing pain. Heat helps the afflicted joints. Movement, even at the ex- pense of pain, keeps the joints from gradually stiffening. And, for most people, once the pain 0 KEEP RCAF FIGHTER LOCKING, England (CP)--A Spitfire aircraft used by No, 443 Squadron of the RCAF during the Second World War will be preserved at a Somerset air- base.

In many cases, too, the dis- comfort waxes and wanes. Try- ing to keep your mind on some- thing else may sound like thin advice, and I guess it is, but it works just the same. Dear Dr. Molner: Please give me the names of the drugs you mentioned concerning epileptic seizures?--J.M.D. I don't know what good it will do, because all of them are pre- scription drugs--dilantin, milan- tin, tridione, phenurone, mesan- toin, mebarel, meprobamate, mysoline, and quite a few .oth- ers under various chemical, generic or trade names, Anti - convulsants, sedatives, tranquilizers, many types of all of. these and in various com- binations, are used. It's impor- tant to find the combination which best suits each case. That's part of the 'science and art" of medicine. In this column I discuss what things are available for various ills, what people can do for themselves, and what things re- quire skilled care. Choosing the correct drugs for an epilepsy patient is sometimes easy, but sometimes very intricate, Let your doctor do the selecting, He has spent years. learning how. When I was in Ireland last summer, I sound this resent- ment of the foreign occupation of Irish resort areas very strong, In the Killarney district, in particular, I learned of many large purchases of land in key areas by Germans, who were settling in to develop these properties as tourist attractions, In spite of the protests of the rabid Irish patriots, the goy- ernment does not feel disposed to do anything to prevent the development of these islands and coastal areas as holiday resorts and haunts by wealthy Germans and Americans. The Americans bolster the Govern- ment's thinking by predicting that Ireland will become one of the most popular tourist centres, and they are prepared to make heavy investments there. One case _ illusrating this point is the purchase by a Miss Fenno, of Boston, Mass., of five deserted houses, each with some land, on the windswept, bird haunted Blacke t Islands off the Kerry Coast, These lie just off the coast at the end of one of the most beautiful scenie drives I have ever taken in any country. Miss Fenno has formed a company, known as Seagull, with Viscount Powerscourt as director, to operate a hotel on the mainland with a tourist ferry service to the islands, PROMPT REACTION The verbal reaction of 'the Irish patriots has been prompt and vigorous. One of them, Sean .O'Riada, writing in the Irish Times, said that the Great Blackets had become a suburb of Boston, Mass, "Where, in the name of God, is all this nonsense going to stop? Every day we are busily exporting Irishmen and every day we are busily importing foreigners, If this continues, the day will surely come when Irishmen will be a minority in their own country, as they are in every other country. And then, perhaps, it will be the concentration camp for us as it was for the Jews (some of our importees have a certain under- standing of that trade). "It: seems to be a law of present-day Ireland that if a farmer has less than 50 acres of land and three sons, all three will emigrate. Tnis is especially true if they are native speak- ers of Irish. Of the population of the Blacket Islands, less than one quarter are now living on the mainland; the remainder have left the country which has refused to support them, or heir language or their tradi- ons." i BY-GONE DAYS | 35 YEARS AGO Mayor R, D.

E, Davie Fulton, a Brit- ish Columbia representative in the federal cabinet, has an- nounced his intention to stand for the leadership of the pro- vincial arm of the Progressive Conservative party in B.C, next month.

The Liberals had to discuss the question in caucus before Opposition Leader John Winter- meyer made his lead-off spe2ch in the Throne speech debate. And they had a hard job of it. At time of writing it isn't known whether they ever did reach agreement. Certainly if they did it could hardly be on a unanimous pol- ley. And the PC's are expecting the same trouble. If the question ever came. to a vote--and this does not seem likely--it most probably would be one on which party lines would be split, with the whips being called off and members left to vote according to their individual beliefs. SOME COULD NOT There are some men in the house who could never vote for further concessions to separate schools. And there are others who could not vote for anything against them. From the sentiment in the corridors it would appear that @ move to give the separate schools a better break in cor- porations tax probably would succeed in the house. There seems to be majority sympathetic with this. (though not for separate secondary schools).

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Montreal Gazette: It has be- come very hard for the older worker, if he is automatically retired, or loses his job before retirement age, to find anyone to employ him. His age is often counted against him, befoieg he even has a chance to present his qualifications. How is this projudice against age to be overcome? One suggestion has been made of a new way of breaking it down. The federal government could grant a special tax eredit to any employer who is ready to give jobs to a set percentage of persons over 65. If a lower age is considered necessary, this could be adopted in the leg- islation. In this way a new incentive would be created, When the old- er worker applied for a job, he would come not merely as a Person who does not want to be seen; he would come as a person who would be bringing bis employer a certain definite advantage, The remaining question, is whether the employment older workers would still b the disadvantage of the emp! er,because they would be les productive or efficient. A sur- vey conducted a few years ago by the Labor Department of New York state arrived at some interesting conclusions. This survey found it is a myth that the older worker would be found more frequently absent. His attendance record was 20 per cent better than the younger worker, The older worker had 2.5 per cent fewer disabling in- juries, and 25 per cent fewer non-disabling injuries - than workers under 45, They also re- mained on the payroll longer, and were less likely to be tran- sient workers, or job-changers, Edmonton Journal; Consum- ers have a friend in Magistrate Fred Thurgood of Calgary.
