eee ws eee 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario ' "TL, Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1963 -- PAGE 6 , Me ~ 4 -| The draft bill on medicare put before the Ontatio Legislature last 'week is so vague that comment is difficult. Indeed, one must wonder 'if it can properly be called medicare legislation; it could be considered an extension of the pro- Vince's relief services, since it only proposes to do something 'about the per cent of the population not covered 'by medical insurance aft Te aptan the province of the premiums of those who cannot pay their own -- a cost estimated by Health Minister Dymond to be around $28 million a year. The government seems to have listened long and carefully to the doctors and the insurance men, and then proceeded very cautiously to devise what it hoped would be iV d care 'Legislation Or Relief Extension? a compromise between the "free choice" stand of the professional men and the univeral caverage de- mands of other groups. But in doing go, it seems to have managed to please only the professionals. The government's philosophy seems to be that medicare should not be a matter of compulsion but of free choice, and on this it may gain considerable support. The Hamilton Spectator, for example, commented: "The social well-being of all the people must be the purpose of government. This is not neces- sarily achieved by compulsion alone. The essence of democratic govern- ment -- too often forgotten these days -- is to provide freedom of choice and opportunity. With com- pulsion, a degree of regimentation cannot be avoided." The draft bill is certain to be amended in the months ahead. But if the final legislation simply puts a little flesh on the skeleton which has been put before the Legislature, the government can scarcely claim that (no quote the Ottawa Journal) "it has a real answer--if there is one --to the oppressive costs of illness," He Stayed Too Long. - 'In sports or any other activity, there is no sorrier sight than the fumbling exit of a star who did not know when to quit. That is the performance now being given by West Germany's Chancellor Adenauer. All through the Fifties, Adenauer was West Germany's big man, lead- ing the recovery of his country not only from the wreckage of war to an amazing prosperity but from the shadow of the world's contempt and hatred to the clear light of admira- tion and respect. The Sixties, however, have not been kind to Adenauer, The wear- iness and the fixed id f hjs more than 80 years became obvious. He failed to recognize that most of his countrymen did not agree with his concept of an insular Europe dominated by West Ger- Many -- a concept that would in- evitably lead to dangerous disagree- ment with France, also led by a man inspired by a vision of domina- 1960 would have been a good year for the West German star to retire. He would have gone out in glory. But he stayed, and grew testy and dictatorial. Younger men became more restless as he barred their way to seats of power. The opposition Social Democrats have made marked gains in recent elections. Adenauer has held power in coalition with the Free Democrats, and they agreed to co-operate only when he agreed to leave office before the expiration of his term. The heir-apparent, all along has been Ludwig Erhard, the finance minister and main architect of Ger- man economic recovery. Adenauer has contended that Erhard lacks political sense and that no econo- mist is fit to rule. But it has become more and more obvious that his real dislike of Erhard is based on the latter's rejection of the Adenau- er-de Gaulle vision of Europe. Now Adenauer cannot make a graceful exit. His party has told him bluntly to keep his promise to quit this fall. And. it has denied him a veto over his successor. That successor will be Erhard. Mass Survey A Credit The list of credits in the never ending battle against tuberculosis reads like a miniature United Na- tions. France has given us the stethoscope and pasteurization. The Christmas Seal originated in Den- _mark. From Germany came the isolation of the tubercule bacillus by Dr. Robert Koch, the first major step into the "why's", and "how's" of TB. A Dutch scientist, Wilhelm Roentgen, discovered x-rays, Eng- land gave us Dr. William Black, and the idea of the sanatorium. Dr. Carlo Forlani of Italy developed pneumothorax, commonly called "lung collapse', Brazil contributed Professor Manuel de Abrau's minia- ture x-ray machine, and the United States introduced streptomycin, dis- eovered there by Russian-born Dr. Selman Waksman.

AG In 1941, in Melville, Saskatche- wan, the world's first mass x-ray survey of a whole community popu- lation was successfully carried out. This was the basis of the modern methods of mass surveys and public "screening" programs currently be- ing done in Ontario. It- has been brogdened to include tuberculin ing, and such a program will take place in Ontario and Durham countries during the next three months. It is the result of the time and effort of men of all nationalities, and centuries of work, with the end result directed at you. Now one further contribution to this impres- sive record is needed -- yourselves. Only if we take advantage of the forthcoming mass survey can we consider the work of men like Roentgen and de Abrau successful. Other Editors' Views WEEKEND JAIL (Memphis Commercial Appeal) Arrangements have been made in Brussels for Belgians who are first offenders and are sentenced to jail 30 days or less to serve their time on weekends. The offender can hold his job and thus do what- ever he has been doing to support himself and dependents. Off- hand, at least, it would appear that spending 15 weekends in the hoose- gow would be far more troublesome than doing it in one stretch.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times DAGENHAM, Essex -- In these days when unemployment is a pressing problem in Brit- ain, it would seem quite il- logical for a municipal council to object to an industrial expan- sion project which would give employment to 2,700 people within its boundaries, Yet that is exactly what the Essex County Council has done with respect to a plan for expansion by the Ford Motor Car Com- pany. The company has plans to build an engineering research establishment in the neighbor- hood of Basildon, Essex, where it already 'has two plants. But» when the company applied for planning permission for the new research centre, which is to cost $31 million, the council's plan- ning committee turned down the plan and refused permission. The county council approved the committee's action, but the minister of housing and local development has stepped into the picture and has ordered a public inquiry into Ford's appii- cation. IN GREEN BELT The Essex County Council's objection is based on the ex- cuse that the Ford plan con- flicts with the county's develop- ment plan, The site for the pro- posed buildings is an area of 270 acres in the Metropolitan Green Belt, and that is another cause of objection. The local authorities at Basii- don, however, are not following the lead of the Essex County Council. Basildon Urban Council is in favor of the project, so long as there are satisfactory access roads. Basildon New Town Conporation also supports the proejct, in the belief that benefits would accrue to Basil- don Ford proposes to do most of its engineering research work id the new establishment, which would employ 2700 men. Most of these would be in the profes- sional and executive grades. They -would be accommodated in specially designed houses on a model estate which would have its.own roads and serv- joes. It was therefore not sur- prising that Sir Keith Joseph, minister of Hotising and Local Government, said that the proj- ect was one of such importance that it required a ministry de- cision, and ordered a public in- quiry. Naturally, the Ford Company is_angry over the objection to its plans to bring this new source of employment to Essex County. And it has said quite plainly that if it cannot have the site it wants near Basildon, then the research establishment will be built in West Germany. There is a site available for it beside their present plant at Cologne. YOUR HEALTH tion in the Essex County Coun- cil describes the threat to go to Germany as a form of black- mail, but 'he opposes the site wanted by Ford near Basildon. On the other hand, it is quite natural that Ford would want to locate this new research establishment near its main plant at Dagenham. If this is blocked by the short-sighted at- titude of coufty councillors, then it could hard!y be blamed for going to Cologne, where it would be welcomed, The prosperity of a lange part of the county of Essex has been built on the Ford plant at Dagenham. And as Essex at the moment needs to attract new in- dustry, it would have much to gain in having this new plant in the county. Ford officials are, however, hopeful that at the public inquiry on May 2, com- mon sense will reassert itself 'and lead to a reversal of the county council's illogical de- cision. Fears Cums Hurt By Finger Habit BB JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My i1- month-old baby girl sucks her index finger constantly. The first time I saw her (two hours old) she was sucking her finger. As soon as she finishes her bottle, her finger is in her mouth. My real problem is that her gums are very crooked. Will this affect her teeth and can it be corrected?--MRS. J. 8. At 11 months, I don't as a Tule pay much attention to thumb or finger-sucking. Babies get some comfort or a sense of security from it, and they out- grow the habit. Several years later thumb - sucking can be- come a real problem. However, in this case, I'm not so sure. The baby happened to discover her finger almost at birth, and she evidently has become much attached to it. If the shape of her gums fs being affected, then something should be done. This can result from prolonged and excessive Pressure of the thumb-in-the- mouth. Or finger. It isn't com- mon, but it can happen. Here are my suggestions: 1. Take extra pains to cuddle her when she finishes her bottle. Maybe this will detract her from the finger. BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Premier Gordon D. Conant, honorary member of the Osh- awa Kinsmen Club, was guest speaker at an inter-club dinner meeting of District Kinsmen Clubs at Hotel Genosha. City council purchased a new fire pumper truck for the fire department. Figures prepared by P. A. Blackburn, city treasurer, show- ed that 59.94 per cent of all collectable taxes were paid be- tween Jan. 1 and Apr. 23, when first of five instalments was due. Also 32.03 per cent of out- standing arrears was paid. A CNR official attended a meeting of ratepayers at West- mount to discuss a proposed bus service which was petitioned for by the residents of that dis- trict. The Oshawa Kiwanis Club purchased the first. Victory bond sold in Ontario County dur-: ing the Fourth Victory Loan campaign. Mayor W. H. Gifford took part in transaction with Kiwanians Ernie Cay and Cyril Souch. The Salvage Board conducted a mammoth drive in the city, having 40 or more trucks gath- ering salvage from every house- hold. A Mosquito bomber was dis- played by General Motors of Canada at the "Arms for Vic- tory" exhibit at the Oshawa Arena. Remembrance Lodge, former- ly War Veterans' Lodge of To- ronto, paid a fraternal visit to Cedar Lodge, AF and AM No. 270, Oshawa. The visitors were welcomed by Wor. Bro. Thom- as Dalgleish, Wor. Master of the lodge. The guest speaker, Wor. Bro. Charles Culver was intro: duced by Wor. Bro. C. M, Wal- lace. All Presbyteries were re- sented at the Women's MiSssion- ary Society biennial meeting of the Bay of Quinte conference held in King Street United Church, Mrs. J. V. McNeely, Mrs. William Adams; Mrs, A. Wilson, Mrs. G, Telford and Mrs. §, W. Ferguson received the guests. rf 2. The next time you see the doctor for a checkup, discuss this habit with him. Let him gauge whether she is really de- forming her gums or whether you are being too nervous about it. 3. Try tying a mitten on the hand. Even if she manages to shove the mitten in her mouth, the pressure will be distributed. And she may start to lose the habit. ; 4, She's just getting to the age at which she can enjoy simple "games," like rolling a ball, or grabbing at your hand, or. shak- ing a rattle. Or grabbing at a top on a string. Several times a day see if she won't get so interested in such little "games" that she'll grab with both ands, and forget sucking her finger. Dear Dr. Molner: You re- cently wrote about chest x-rays and radiation. What is your opin- ion about x-ray8 of other parts of the body? Our young son swallowed an object and re- ceived a series of bowel x-rays. He also had an x-ray with barium enema, Your comments would be appreciated. -- MRS. L. W. V. My answer remains the same, regardless of the 'area x-rayed. Yes, we should always avoid needless radiation. But bowel x-rays, like chest X-rays, are far from needless. The amount of radiation from them is tiny compared to what we receive from natural sources. For millions of years people have been sprayed with a continuing if small amount of X-Tays. X-rays are frequently re- quired for diagnostic purposes.

That could be the title of the story which for nearly a year was one of Ottawa's best-kept confidences, Alas it leaked out, perhaps deliberately, during the election campaign. The story came to me from a diplomatic source last May. It seemed so discreditable to Can- ada that I did not regard it as "news fit to print." It revealed 4.4 what right-minded peopie must consider a breach of diplomatic ethics and of friendliness by Canada. The story, as I heard it, was that U.S. 'Ambassador Living- ston Merchant made a courtesy farewell call upon Canada's prime minister last spring. This popular and able career diplo- mat was stunned to receive from the PM a prolonged angry outburst against his president. Merchant was told that, when he returned to Washington, he should tell Kennedy that his active interference in Canada's domestic affairs was not appre- ciated by Diefenbaker. In par- ticular, the PM suggested that his chief political rival, Mr. Pearson, had deliberately been aided by Kennedy recently pos- ing with him for a news photo- graph, and holding a private talk with him--both of which were widely publicised. Further, Kennedy had attempted to in- fluence Canada's policies. As evidenc¢ of this, he showed Merchant a sheet of paper which, the story said, carried the printed heading The White House, Washington. Written on this were some brief sugges- tions, such as "Push Canada into OAS" (the Organization of American States), and about Canada's trade with Cuba and aid to India.

And naturally he had conversed briefly with all his guests that evening. This tc never intended as a 6% erate campaign boost for Mr. Pearson. The "scrap of paper" was identified as a work paper pre- pared for Kennedy by his aide Walt W. in Ciiawa. in this context, the word "push" seemed an accept- able colloquialism. STIRS ANTI-U.S, EMOTIONS This stoty was told within a very restricted circle here last spring. It did not evidence any definite anti-Canada or anti- Conservative intent by the U.S., and it was héped that the tem- pest would be forgotten. The story was not made public dur- ing last summer's election, de- spite some fears to that effect. However, these fears were revived when it became obvious that Diefenbaker was toying with the possible appeal of an anti-American stand in this re- cent election. Some of 'his cab- inet colleagues expressed them- selves very forcibly against such tactics, even threatening to break up his cabinet. However the scrap of paper never was although Pier gies t a id manage to get into the papers, and was per- haps reflected in Diefenbaker's many assertions that Canada would not be "pushed by the U.S. The paper reportedly carries the scribbled marginal note: "What do we say to the S.0.B. about this?" One possibility is that Kennedy jotted this slur on somebody's parentage; another is that a high Canadian thus sought advice about the paper. The latter is given force by the existence of Canadian photosta- tic copies of the paper without this addendum, thus indicating that it was written efter the paper fell into Canadian hands. This incident 'should have been averted by the courtesy of returning the mislafd paper to its owners without comment. In- stead, it was inflated into an international mountain ¢ bitter- ness last month, around" BB cs "Agar 8 ve TPIS eT me »S Cae Fe ° lil CONSULTANT to tell you how to care for your complexion e «» Will plan a personal make-up chart for you... and will show you how * to look your very best with ¢ i if M i eS 5 & FEaye i nf | EF rE 1 2 | ¥2 fi i a 3 tl | i ; F ' li Z ' P i : a x F i i S é i if fi te EF TH Al ra Hd ae | zt i i il ccf af Hi i ; !
