Tye Oshawa Cones Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, APRIL 22, 1963 -- PAGE 6 eee 'Another Year Marred By Needless Accidents' 'The grim statistics revealing On- tario's 1962 record of motor vehicle accidents have now been released by Transport Minister Auld, who equld not be accused of over-state- ment when he made this comment: "In 1962 we experienced another year marred by a needless and in- cteasing number of accidents, deaths and injuries, and'the tragedy of each of these accidents is that it, did not need to happen if the dtivers had exercised reasonable c4re and good judgment. With this in mind, there is little comfort to be derived from the fact that the vances in the accident rate and the fatal accident rate closely lleled the increase in miles tra- velled." 'There is no comfort at all that the increase in accident rate did not opt-pace the increase in miles travelled. There would be comfort only if. it were substantially less. As it is, all we can look forward to, unless the trend is changed, is a steady increase in death and des- ' Community | The Chamber of Commerce move- ment across Canada is celebrating its own particular Week this week. Locally, the Oshawa Chamber has something to celebrate: It can look back on a year of solid achievement, and look forward with every expec- tation that it will continue to be a Vigorous force in the community. : In his message in the Oshawa Chamber's 1962 annual report, re- tiring president Gordon Riehl re- ferred in modest terms to some of the highlights of the year. He pointed out that "your Chamber played an active role in achieving -an agreement for the removal of the King street tracks from the downtown area of Oshawa," and "a major undertaking has been the ¢@stablishment of an Automotive Museum, which we expect will be- ¢ome a major tourist attraction in Southern Ontario, as well as pro- moting the skills and abilities of the people of Oshawa and surrounding ' The Chamber was only one of several agencies pressing for re- moval of the King street tracks, of truction on the roads as traffic increases. There is no reason why such a sorry situation should be accepted, but it is clear that it is being ac- cepted by the public. It is public apathy towards the spilling of blood on the roads that contributes more than any other factor to the cons- tantly deteriorating situation. Horror is expressed when 129 men drown in a submarine. But years have passed since the pre- vious submarine disaster -- and every year more than a thousand people die on Ontario roads. In 1962, the Ontario record was: 1,139 fatal accidents; 28,667 accidents resulting in non-fatal injury ; 64,425 mishaps involving property damage in excess of $100. In the fatal acci- dents, 1,883 persons were killed; in the others, 41,766 people were in- jured. Total property damage to vehicles and other property exceeded $45 million. And it goes on because we permit it to go on. Betterment course, but the Automotive Museum is its own project. The museum idea had been suggested several times over a period of years, but it was the Chamber finally that took action, and has 'gone about the project with a vigor that bodes well for its success, Article 11 of its constitution states that "the object of the Osh- awa Chamber of Commerce shall be to promote the civic, economic and social welfare of the people of Osh- awa and vicinity." The scope of the work being done by the organiza- tion's eleven committees indicates that the members have not 'ost sight of this object. A visitors and convention com- mittee, for example, explores ways of bringing more visitors and con- ventions to Oshawa, the results of their work have already become apparent. The educational affairs committee has a variety of studies and projects under way, including promotion of the idea of a university for the city. And so it goes, over a wide range of activities. The com- munity is better for an active Chamber of Commerce. Russian-Chinese Feud : The bitter ideological feud be- tween the. Russian and Chinese Communists continues. It has en- gouraged some Western observers to suggest that a break-up of the Communist world could take place the forseeable future, with the : jet Union aligning itself with the West. : Such a realignment may come, but it is wildly optimistic to expect jt within the next couple of decades, nd if there is a final, drastic break feven the Russians and the hinese, it will probably be the result not of differences in Marxian interpretation but of the pressure of the teeming Chinese population against the vast open spaces of iberia, | A sober assessment of Russian- Chinese relations comes from Ed- --_ Faltermayer of the Wall Bye Oshawa Fones T. tL.

Street Journal. He points out that the Communist feud is simply an argument about the means, not the end. Red Chinese believes that a communist war on capitalism is in- evitable; Khrushchev believes tnat thermo-nuclear weapons make co- existence necessary, but he still intends that capitalism will be "buried" through subversion and competition. They differ in tactics, but both aim at destruction of the West's political-economic system. As for the possibility of a move towards some sort of a capitalistic, Western-style market economy, Mr, Faltermayer is sure that the hard- core features of the Soviet system -- estate ownership of all produc- tion facilities, central planning, wage and price controls and polit- ical dictatorship -- will be kept intact by the entrenched bureauc- racy. "The various controls over the Soviet economy reinforce each other," he writes. "Take some of them away, and the others are weakened. To some conservative communists, any harmless-looking proposal to prune away red tape is really a bid by the economists and professional managers to take over. Since they might do a better job than is being done now, there would be less need for trouble- shooting by local Communist Party officials who constantly look over their shoulders -- and thus enable Moscow politicians to control Russ- ia's economy." True evolution towards capitalism may begin when a new generation comes to power, thinks Falter- mayer. REPORT FROM U.K. Vegetarians Fight School Meal Rule By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times KINGSTON - Upon - Thames, Surrey -- The Surrey county council education authorities are faced with a problem which they never. anticipated with re- lation to its service of school meals to the pupils of its schools. They are in a wordy clash with a society of vege- tarians which declares that the children of its members are re- garded as nuisances by the staff YOUR HEALTH in charge of meals in the schools, and that staff mem- bers cannot even find time to warm up the nut meat pies which the children bring to school with them. Many of the children take their own lunch to school with them, while others in the vegetarian group return home for their special diets. The West Surrey Vegetarian and Food Reform Society, with 4) members, is leading the battle for "more consideration and understanding of our chil- Strain On Muscle Results In Pain By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: Please write about the heart ailment, angina pectoris. What causes it, how serious is it, and what are its symptoms? How careful does one have to be to prevent attacks?--Mrs. D.M. That's a bigger order than you may have thought. Angina pectoris is featured by severe pain in the mid-chest region-- tightness, burning, fullness, or @ sense of pressure there. It may also radiate to neck, shoul. der am arms. Ingeed, it resembles the feel- fng of a heart attack in many cases; yet it can occur without an electro-cardiogcam showing any sign of abnormality Or again the angina may be accompanied by known heact disorders. You see, therefore, that angina pectoris is no: a single disease; it can, with the same apparent symptoms, come from a variety of causes. The simplest to understand is a narrowing of the arteries which serve the heart muscle. If the muscle is not getting enough circulation to meet the labor demanded of it, the re- sult is pain, It resembles an acute muscular spasm or cramping anywhere else As you might easily guess, too much heart strain can bring on an attack. This need not mean vigorous or prolonged ac- tivity, but only an amount which exceeds the ability of the heart to fulfill its functions with adequate ease. For one person this may mean walking up a HISTORY TODAY IN By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 22, 1963 . The Ist Canadian Division was prominent in the Sec- ond Battle of Ypres 48 years ago today--in 1915 -- when the Germans launched the first gas attack of the First World: War. Many of the most important actions of the war took place in the Ypres sector which was strategic in the defence of the Channel ports. In the third Ypres battle in 1917 'Canadian troops were again prominent with their cap- ture of the Passchendaele ridge. 1793 -- George Washing- ton proclaimed United States neutrality in the war between France and Eng- land. 1889 -- Thousands of pio- neers poured into Oklahoma fm a spectacular land rush. flight of stairs, or strolling sev- eral blocks, For another a walk of half a block may trigger an attack. Likewise, since digest- ing our food draws blood to that area, a heavy meal can start an attack, and a person often may have to learn how much he can eat at a sitting without suffering. Exertion also adds up. A heavy meal, plus some walking, plus perhaps going up stairs, or carrying a burden--all of these together amount to more strain than if the heart had been allowed to rest between efforts. Other physical conditions may play a role. Hyperthyroidism, anemia, and disorders of the aorta are known to cause or contribute to many cases. An- gina is relativcly common among people with diabetes. And in some cases no physical reason for the attacks can be found at all. This, as you may well imagine, is the subject of some intense research. T'll continue tomorrow with treatment of angina pectoris. dren who are under pressure and prone to ridicule as being cranks." WORSE THAN PRISONS Mrs. Idobe-Clark of Guild- ford is secretary of the society. Her husband, a public health administrative officer, and their three boys, are all vege- tarians. She pointed out: "It is interesting to note that hospitals, prisons and the arm- ed forces will always provide a vegetarian meal -- but not the Surrey Schools Meals Service." This society was organized 18 years ago. It is now consider- ing an approach to similar so- cieties throughout the country in the hope of bringing the whole question of the provision of vegetarian diets in schools to the attention of the minister of education. MADE TO FEEL OLD Says Mrs. Clark: "Mothers are complain- ing that their children are made to feel odd. Everything in the school meals service is so streamlined and mass produc- ed that it cannot cater to our children. What we want for our children is more salads, cheese, a boiled egg, or let the mothers 'provide the protein such as a nut meat pie. But the trouble is that the food ar- Tives in heated containers, and there is no provision for any- thing which is different from the laid-down diet." Incidentally, her two older boys go home at noon for their vegetarian lunch. OFFICIAL ANSWER No approach as yet been made to the Surrey Education Authority because the parents do not wish their children to be regarded as awkward or cranks. The society plans to make the approach at the na- tional level. What does the Surrey School Meals Service have to say about 'his? A senior woman official speak- ing from the county hall, King- ston, was asked if the vegetar- ian children are regarded as nuisances. She was quite frank in her answer. "I think it is very likely," she said. "If they are register- ed vegetarians they can have extra vegetables and no meat. But we cannot do special cook- ing and special diets, because we just have not got the staff to do it." . And that was that.

C, Graham Canadian Press Correspondent WELLINGTON (CP)--In the a@ix months since he was ap- pointed, New Zealand's om- budsman has: recaived 334 com- plaints for imvestigation. Of these, 26 cases were found to have some substance. The ombudsman, modelled on Scandinavian custom, is an of- ficial with the duty of inquiring into complaints against govern- ment actions. His task is to seek remedies where no other means of redress exists, New Zeailand's ombudsman, Sir Guy Powles, was appointed last year as a move to check the ever-growing power of the state and to ensure that cases so far found justified is email, the fact that grounds for complaint have been upheld in 26 cases is held to vindicate the setting up of the new office. It has been pointed out that the most valuable effect is not the action taken in these spe- cific acses, but the constant reminder of the rights of the TACTFUL CHOICE Sir Guy Powles, lawyer, ad- ministrater and diplomat, has shown himself to be an excel- Jent choice to inaugurate the new office. He has displayed both tact and common sense end already the position has gained esteem. Reviewing the complaints submitted in the first six months, Sir Guy said that 143 of the 334 complaints were out- side his jursidiction. He does not act where other means of @ppeal are available, and has no power to inquire into com- plaints against local bodies. Of the remainder, 74 were etil under investigation, Of the 117 fully investigated, 91 had been rejected as without found- etion and 26 had been found to have some substance in one way or another. The ombudsman does not have power to reverse decisions of government officials, but he can bring a good deal of pres- sure to bear. ERRORS RECTIFIED Sir Guy reported that 13 of the 26 cases held to be justified had resulted in departments rectifying their errors after he had made preliminary inquir- ies. He had made specific re- commendations in five cases. In the remaining eight cases, specific remedies could not be applied, but he had made re- comm i of principle on the general issues involved, In general he said he had found government. methods to be fairly effiicent. No resent- ment had been shown at his investigations. However, he said: "We find many cases of real distress caused by what appears to the sufferers to be cold, impartial and often implacable applica- tion of the rules. We try to humanity from the files." Cases laid before the ombuds- mam have come from one end of the country to the other and complaints against New Zealand government activities have also been forwrded from Britain, Hawaii, Fiji and Australia.
