She Oshawa Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Figures Reveal Canada Lagging In TB Battle It may come as a shock to Cana- dians to learn that three countries in the Americas have lower death rates from tuberculosis than we have. Canada's rate per 100,000 of population is 35.6 while Bolivia has $4.5, Mexico 32.7. and the United States 29.3. : The figures show that in the matter of tuberculosis there is no room for complacency in Canada. We must do more to discover, treat and prevent the disease. The complete elimination of tubercu- losis is a practical and reasonable goal. The number of TB cases reported in the Americas reflects not only the prevalence of the disease, but the extent of case-finding activi- ties and the availability of diagnos- tic facilities. According to informa- tion from the Pan American Health Organization, newly reported cases in North America have declined steadily from 57 per 100,000 in 1952 to an average 31 in 1960, a decrease of 46 per cent -- and it is the Canadian figure that puts up the average, unfortunately. In Middle America the reported case rate was about the same level in 1960 as in 1951, about 61 per 100,000 population. In South Amer- ica, the region with the highest death rate, relatively over twice as many cases were diagnosed each year as in Middle America. During the five-year period up to 1960 the decrease was by about 20 per cent. The South American figures are far from being complete, however, because no cases were reported for Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador and Paraguay, and it is extremely un- likely that no cases occurred. The Pan American experts also note that so far it has not been possible to apply in many of the countries the new scientific methods to combat the disease. Training of physicians and auxiliary personnel is badly needed. Steel Industry Booms The dispute between President Kennedy and the U.S. steel industry has helped to draw attention to the troubles of that industry. It is, from all accounts, a sick industry. But in Canada, in the meantime, the steel industry is enjoying glowing health. Canada's four major steel pro- ducers are now operating at or close to capacity, and steel produc- tion this year will likely exceed the record set last. year. Tribute to the oustanding record of the Canadian primary iron and steel industry is paid in the current commercial letter of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, which notes that the industry doubled its output between 1939 and 1947 and doubled it again by 1959. Virtually no iron are was mined in C between 1924 and 1938, and it was not until 1945 that iron ore production was in excess of one million tons. In 1962 output was in excess of 27 million tons. In 1883 the first successful attempt to make steel in this country was under- taken at the Trenton steel works in Nova Scotia ---a mill that still operates as a steel foundry today. Now the four big companies, based in Ontario and Nova Scotia, employ more than 35,000 people and send out shipments worth nearly a bil- lion dollars. The letter says that perhaps the most significant development in the Canadian steel industry in re- cent years has been the great ex- pansion in the numbers and types of products produced. This has resulted in the reduction of imports and the development of a growing export market. In the middle 50s Canadian mills supplied an average of about 65 per cent of Canada's steel needs; in 1962 they supplied about 85 per cent. Steel ex- ports now account for 12 to 15 per cent of annual production, and the industry is making a vigorous effort to increase sales abroad. Unusual Annual Report At this time of the year, there is a flood of annual reports from companies which have been making their. yearly accounting to their shareholders. Most of them make a sober, statistical presentation of facts, along with a fairly predictable address by the president and some- times the chairman of the board. A refreshingly different report, however, comes from George Wes- ton Limited. Only about half of the Weston report is devoted to the affairs of the company. The remainder deals with Canada's forthcoming celebra- tion of a hundred years of Con- federation -- and deals with it tastefully and imaginatively. The report package contains photographs of all Canada's Prime Ministers (we reproduced twelve of them on Wednesday's editorial page) and reproductions of point- ings of historic moments in Can- ada's history.

In particu- lar, men prominent in business and industry are urged to intensify their leadership to make certain that Canada goes "all out" in 1967. Garfield Weston, chairman of the board of George Weston Limited, and President George C. Metcalf are to be commended for this timely and imaginative addition to the usual annual report. It is to be hoped that their advice will be followed. Canada's centenary is surely an occasion for celebration ; if the celebration is to be worth- while it must be. planned -- and there's not much time left for planning. , Other Editors' Views REASON FOR TREMBLES (Milwaukee Journal) Economists call them the hard core unemployed. Chances are they never finished high school. Many can't read. Some can barely write their names. Last month 1,153,000 Americans were in this demoralizing category -- out of work for at least 15 weeks. Half hadn't worked in 27 weeks. The number keeps increasing. Six years ago, 19 out of 100 workers had been out of work 15 weeks or longer. Last year the ratio was 28 out of 100.

ARE You GOING To PLAY: BALL REPORT FROM U.K. Waste Of Talent - Charged In Report By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Dr. Cecil E. Gurr, chief education officer of the county of Middlesex, claims that Britain is facing its biggest ever crisis in the classroom. In a 10-page report which he. has submitted to the members of the Middlesex Education Com- mittee, he warns that with com- petition for university places in England growing more fierce, prospects of higher education for thousands of talented teen- agers will become worse each year. In his report, he criti- cizes "'this intolerable waste of talent." -- The Middlesex Education Committee has called a meet- ing to consider the report, and to decide on any emergency action which might be. taken. But it is considered that the main issues are not confined to Middlesex, but affect children throughout the whole nation. Committee members. express the view that "national action is needed to meet the situa- ion." SUGGESTIONS Among the suggestions put forward by Dr. Curr for consid- eration of the committee, and also of the ministry of educa- tion are the following: New colleges for the 16-18 age group. : Re-arrangement of courses in existing technical colleges. Grouping of colleges to en- able them to deal more ade- quately with advanced work. An increase in the number of degree courses available in the colleges. In his report, which is en- titled "Our VIth Forms", Dr. Gurr states: "As the pressure on univer- sity places increases competi- tion for entry will increase to an unreasonable extent. "Of the candidates who last year failed to secure university places, not less than half were far from marginal on any reckoning. This is an_intoler- able waste of talent." TURNED AWAY Presenting the statistical side of the picture, Dr. Gurr re- veals that the universities must this year turn away about 23,000 applicants for places 'in these institutions of higher education. This means that the applicants outnumber the number of places by 2-1, YOUR HEALTH Dr. Gurr added: "We have an obligation to these young people to ensure that the effort they, and their parents, have made is reward- ed 'by opportunity -- either op- portunity for particularly good placing in industry, or for uni- F versity or other extended educa- tion. This we are not doing. "Any young, person who reaches the end of one stage of education satisfactorily should be able to progress to the next. This is far from true at the moment, and for far too many of our young people there is considerable disruption at the age of 18." Many Suggestions For Canker Sores By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What causes canker sores? How can they be cured or prevented?-- D. W. There are various notions about the cause -- and maybe you've heard of the medical axiom: the more cures that are proposed for somethig, the less we really know about it. When we know the exact cause, it then becomes easy to establish the exact cure. So we have lots of ideas about canker sores. It may be that several causes are responsible, or maybe a combination of them. Allergy is often indicated-- sensitivity to some food or other --citrus fruits, chocolate, nuts, etc. Keeping a "food diary" is helpful in trying to connect out breaks of cankers with some- thing you have. eaten, The problem is common among women, and sometimes it seems to be related to the menstrual cycle. Some think cankers are a re- sult of low-grade infection. Emotional turmoil has been suggested. With such a variety of sus- pected causes, no wonder we have a variety of answefs. Remedies which, in my experi- ence, seem to have been suc- cessful in some cases, include: Touching the spots with silver nitrate. Avoiding foods which have been adequately proved to be offenders. Antibiotic lozenges; lacto-bacillus tablets. ° also BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Members of Simcoe Street United Church were planning a week of entertainment from May 13 to May 20th, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the church's erection. Harry King was elected Rec. tor's Warden at the inaugural investry meeting of the Holy Trinity Church with Rev, Capt. S. C. Jarrett, presiding. A Motor Cycle Club was form- ed in the city. The first races were planned for May 24 in Alexandra Park. The first Oshawa Trans-At- lantic telephone call was made by Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin to her daughter, Eleanor, who was in Amsterdam, Holland, Angus Barton, superintendent of Robson Leather Works, gave the Kinsmen Club an interest- ing talk on the manufacture of - leather, Announcement that R. N, Bas- sett, of Bassett's jewellery store, had purchased the block on the south-cast corner of King and Simcoe streets from Fred J. and Oharles Bailes of the John Bailes and Sons hardware firm. Capt. George Farewell, pion- eer of Oshawa, died at his home at the age of 91. A permit for $6,500 was obtain- ed by the Feldspar Glass Comp- any to erect a storage building on Ritson Road. Hugh Lucas, of Port Perry, became the new governor of the County Jail. Members of the Oshawa Golf Club decided to erect the new clubhouse in the vicinity of the Oshawa Creek, west of the pres- ent location, Dr. F. J. Rundle, city -coro- ner, reported that investigation into a drowning accident show- ed the life saving equipment to be "safely locked up and in- accessible,"' Plans were made to begin work on a new $75,000 apart- ment building on the corner of Simcoe street and. Buckingham avenue. General Motors of Canada built a staff garage on Ritson road north southeast of the new office building. In very severe and painful cases, a short course of corti- sone treatment. Drastic, but sometimes it works. Dear Dr. Molner: Is it pos- sible to be a borderline dia- betic? And if so can this pre- vent a wound from healing after surgery? I was declared a dia- betic over a year ago but the doctor has not found any sugar since, and I have not been on my diet for several months.-- MRS. H, P These days we have little trouble in getting diabetics to heal promptly, because we take care to see that the disease is controlled. Yes, there are borderline dia- betics. A better term could be "mild cases of diabetes." But it's diabetes all the same. The fact that you haven't shown any sugar (in the urine, I pre- sume) doesn't mean that the diabetes has disappeared. You'd be very wise to have a blood sugar test to find out just how you stand. I don't approve of giving up your diet simply because sugar hasn't been detected lately. The goal is to prevent it from show- ing up. So, especially if you are overweight, get back on the diet. (You'll find that any infec. tion, even a common cold, readily causes sugar to appear.) In short, don't press your luck too far. Dear Dr. Molner: What is uremic poisoning? -- MRS. S. J. It results from faulty func- tioning of the kidneys. Uric acid and certain nitrogen compounds are wastes which the kidneys filter out and--normally--dis- charge in urine. When some- thing prevents removal of these toxic materials, poisoning re- sults. OTTAWA REPORT Servicemen Used As Domestic Help By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- When a_ Royal commission investigates ex- travagance, who checks that the commission is not extravagant with the taxpayer's money? The Glassco Commission was appointed "to inquire into and report upon the organization and methods of the departments and agencies of government." That was 2% years and $2,500,- 000 ago; it was expected to save us $40,000,000 every year in taxes, but taxes will go up this year. The report of. the Glassco commission already fills four flossy and glossy-covered books published, like all government literature, by the Queen's Printer. The public should be told whether that report is worth the paper it is printed on. It is. But with reservations, All royal commissioners end to concentrate so much on the forest, that they fail to notice the trees and the saplings and especially the thistles growing in that forest. To show my point, I appended some extracts from The Report of the Loyal Commission ap- pointed to enquire into the re- port and findings of the Glassco royal commission. "The Glassco commissioners and their ant-colony of. aides spend so much time studying the obvious and known extrava- gances within the operation of our defence forces, that they overlooked the thistles beneath the Brass-hats symptomatic of expense-account high life at the taxpayer's expense," To illustrate this criticism, the Nicholson Loyal Commis- sion offers this relevant re- Hong report by an investiga- or: "Seeing an army sedan car, identifiable by its government licence, outside a_ residential building in Ottawa, and seeing the same car still there six hours later, your investigator Remnant Of Great Tribe Ruled By Last Emperor By ANDREW BOROWIEC OUAGADOUGOU, Upper Volta (AP)--From an old bar- bershop chair in his ram- shackle palace, Emperor Moro Naba Kougri rules the melting remnants of the once powerful empire of the Mossis. Upper Volta's independence in 1960 shattered the influence of the tribal structure in this land-locked West African na- tion. Although the Mossi tribe to- day counts some _ 1,500,000 people, Moro Naba's influence is limited to a handful of fol- lowers who loyally pour dust over their heads, repeating sol- emnly: 'We are dust before thee, O eternal chief." The 300 - pound Moro Naba READERS' VIEWS Dear Sir: Here are some thoughts about "The Policeman": You pass a Policeman every day. You give him a glance and go your way, Little you think of what's on his mind. But if you did here's what you'd find. "The folks today are as good as gold, Boy! This corner sure is cold. That man just walked against the light. T"ll sure be glad to get home tonight. Now won't learn, You let folks cross before you turn, My nose is starch, I'll bet that foot has dropped an arch. Two-minute parking by door, He's been parked for twenty in that store. Did he ever dirty look, When I showed him the sign and my ticket book! I wonder what's for tonight, I'd better get over and that fight. There's lots of excitement on this beat, But I'll sure be glad to get' off my feet." And so he continues on his way, Oshawa is safe another day. --ANOTHER READER Oshawa that driver ever frozen stiff as that give me a supper settle Ansus-G 282 King "RUG CLEANING 728-958) is the last officially sanctioned emperor of the Mossis. Under a decree of Upper Volta's Pres- fdent Maurice Yameogo, the emperor "whose spirit never dies" is not supposed to be suc- ceeded after his death. Upper Volta has a modern government, a national assem- bly and an economic council. French-type courts are grad- ually replacing tribal justice over the 4,000,000 Volta citizens. Most of the Mossis--the most influential and most developed tribe in Upper Volta -- have turned their backs on Moro Naba. THE ELITE The tribe that once sacked distant Timbuktu and was never conquered by another Af- rican ethnic group constitutes Upper Volta's elite today. Mos- Sis occupy most government jobs and some have become doctors and skilled workers. _A story still told by the Mos- sis says the white man con- quered them only 'because he carried sticks spouting fire." When the French took over what today is the Republic of Upper Volta, they found _a deeply imbedded structure gov- erned by a central authority-- the Moro Naba. They used the Mossi administrative network almost until the Second Worid War. When independence came, Moro Naba made a weak at- tempt to seize power but was defeated. Supported by a $600-a-month government subsidy, the em- peror continues to live in his palace, resembling a defunct railroad station, on the out- skirts of Ouagadougou. With him are 10 loyal wives, four court ministers and a handful of barefooted slaves. The sand - colored . palace stands on a dusty square, sur- rounded by a clay wall. Nearby is a village of clay huts topped by straw roofs.

LESS COST, MORE SENSE If the brass is entitled to this antiquated fringe benefit, paid by you and me, why does the government not hire cleaning women at the going rate of $1.25 an hour, instead of mis- employing our .gallant defend- ers at a cost averaging $2.30 an hour. plus that car? And talking of cars, should army sedans, plus uniformed driver, be provided free out of the military pool, to tote the brass and its lasses and its kids hither and yon? And why are military vehicles provided for cabinet ministers who also draw a tax-free car allowance of $2,000 a year? The Glassco report makes some commonsense suggestions about. saving the taxpayer's money, by integrating the three armed services, or at least sup- porting branches of them; by abolishing the wasteful practice of retiring officers at their men- tal prime; and by using civilian employees in place of service men expensively trained for de- fence duties, in routine non-mil- itary posts. But royal commissioners can get a bit dreamy; and the Glassco Report would have been more impressive if it had mentioned the small housekeep- ing details of wanton extrava- gance, as well as the large ob- jectives.
