Glassco's Five Volumes Deserve Careful Study ~The fifth and final volume of the Glassco commission's report on gov- ernment organization and adminis- tration has now appeared, and it does a great deal to clarify and put into proper perspective many of the earlier volumes, Indeed, much warm argument might have been avoided had it been possible to publish all five volumes at the same time. One of the commission's recom- mendations that aroused the shrill- est outcry was that the government should let private agencies operate many of its present activities on a sort of contract basis. The last vol- ume makes it clear that this recom- mendation was not based on the be- lief that the private agencies could do the job more efficiently or cheap- ly than the government could, but that this would be one way of free- ing cabinet ministers and senior ci- vil servants from the immensely time-consuming task of disposing of a clutter of routine detail. The role of the cabinet minister is discussed in some detail in the final volume. The commissioners agree that the ministers should be given more time to plan, to think about policy, and to meet the "un- limited liability for all official acts of the public servants under his direction." The big question now, of course, is what the present government will do about the Glassco report. Mr. Pearson and his ministers may be tempted to put it away to gather dust on a remote shelf, because the commission was a Conservative idea, They may not want to give Con- servatives an opportunity' to claim credit for legislation based on some of the commission's findings. We hope that the Liberals will not be so petty. Not all of the commission's recommendations are wise, but many of them are practical and constructive suggestions for the im- provement, in cost and efficiency, in the handling of government busi- ness. Action on such recommenda- tions would lead to better adminis- tration. And better administration is needed. Deserving Each Other The professed purpose of South Africa's savagely repressive 'anti- sabotage" laws is to foil the Com- munists who (according to Prime Minister Verwoerd) are agitating against the kind and just policy of apartheid and inciting the poor blacks to criminal rebellion. Dr. Verwoerd sees himself as the gal- lant defender of "'Western Christian civilization" against the atheistic materialism of Communism, His heroic pose impresses fewer and fewer people in the West, how- ever, and this response is reflected in the reluctance of an increasing number of Western nations to ex- port to South Africa the type of arms that could be used to enforce apartheid. But as the Montreal Star reports, this does not mean that Dr. Verwoerd's source of arms is in danger of drying up. A trade delegation from -- of;all places -- the Communist trade bloc recently visited South Africa, and among items they discussed were small arms from East Germany and Distant Cry On of the strangest of recent re- quests for Western aid comes from Mongolia. It is strange because Mongolia is a Communist nation, and a very remote one; and Russia, with a proprietary interest in the region, does not seem to be offering any objection. Following Mongolia's admission to the United Nations last October, its representatives contacted the UN technical assistance board and asked for help with some problems. David Owen, executive chairman of the board and an Englishman, has just visited Ulan Bator, the Mongol capital, and has agreed upon a pro- gram of $300,000 for the rest of this year. What Mongolia wants, among other things, is help from Denmark to improve its dairy farming and from Australia in handling water shortage problems and the produc- She Oshawa Times T. L.

Czech arms have al- ready appeared in the republic. And with black Africa and some Wes- tern nations boycotting trade with South Africa, the Verwoerd govern. ment is turning to the Communist countries, including China for mar- kets. So here we have a pretty sight: On the one hand, the white knight of the racists, enemy of Commu- nism, the rock against which the black tide dashes itself to pieces; and on the other, the standard-bear- ers of "democratic socialism," dedi- eated to the struggle against ra- cism, colonialism and capitalism. And they're ready to forget all their principles and be buddies, because each has something that the other wants -- at the moment. The Communists will still- claim to be the true friends of the black Africans, just as Dr. Verwoerd will still claim to be the best guarantee against the spread of Communism in Africa.

Mongolia stu- dents will go to Britain and France for training and instructors will be sent to Ulan Bator from those coun- tries. Russia seems to have raised no objections to the proposals, in spite of all'its efforts to make Mongolia dependent. The Milwaukee Journal comments that Western technicians in the heart of the Communist world would be something new--at least since Stalin hired some in the 1920's and early 1930's. Maybe it is another sign that the Red world is opening up a bit. Other Editors' Views DEJARGONIZE (Buffalo News) --Inhabitants of the Pentagon, busy as they must be with the problems of our defence, still have time for a little private war with the English language. The latest new "word" to find its way into an Army press release is -- so help us Webster -- "de- projectmanagerize." There is a cus- tom of appointing a,project man- ager for study of a new rifle or tank. When it is far enough along, the project manager is assigned other duty. Hence, the job is "de- projectmanagezired."

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- With a_house- building program of 350,000 homes a year ahead of it, the building industry in Britain is adopting new and modern me- thods to speed up the produc- QUEEN'S PARK tion of these much - wanted houses. These methods are being applied, not only to individual houses, but also to massive blocks of apartments, or flats, as iney are called in this coun- try. New factory. production me- thods are now in full swing at Heywood, in Lancashire, in the Main Policy Line Set For Liberals By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Look for con- siderably more action from the Liberals. The party heads have pretty well decided on the program they will take to the country, There will still probably be refinements. But the bulk of policy has been set. The program is now being put in shape to distribute to party speakers and workers. It will be a drastic change for Liberal workers to have some- thing to talk about, It is more than 20 years since they have had a program of any stature at all. Since thirties, about all that has come from the party in this line has been some rushed elec- tion "platforms," which invari- ably have been the product of some last - minute thoughts by assorted intellectuals on the fringes of the party. They have been neither practical nor pre- cise, constructive or coherent. TYPICAL EXPERIENCE Typical was the experience in 1951 when Walter Thomson made up his platform as he went along during the election. During the past two years, the party has at least given some sound thought to policy. And the program is rational and built on more than wishful thinking. It should mean a lot to the Grits, particularly to the faith- ful who have been trying to re- build a party without any toois. The next job of the party will TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 18, 1963 . . Napoleon was finally swept from power in Eu- rope by the Battle of Wat- erloo 148 years ago today-- in 1815 -- when the Prus- sian. and British army routed the French army. Napoleon had earlier -de- feated. the Prussians under Blucher at Ligny and with the British falling back on Waterloo, Napoleon sought to dispatch his old enemy as soon as possible. But Blucher had a preconcerted plan with the British com- mander Wellington, and while the British held the' field, the Prussians again entered the engagement and their combined strength swept the French away. 1812--War was declared between Britain and the United States. 1953--Egypt was declared a republic, be to convince the public that it does have a program, and 2 program which should be taken seriously. And this won't be easy. For so long voters have been used to looking on the Liberals as a drifting ship provincially that they have a bit of an in- grained sneer. GOOD IDEAS From time to time in the past, the party has some out with some good ideas. For instance, in the 1959 cam- paign it proposed that housing would be made available for a very low down payment. This would have appeal to a lot of people if they really be- lieve it. But it got nowhere with the point because the pub- lic simply wouldn't put any faith in it. This attitude will have to be overcome before the program can effectively help the party. However, it is a good pro- gram, whether you agree with it or not, in that it covers a lot of ground and makes con- crete and constructive propos- als. And a lot of work and thought has been put into it. At least there is something there to sell. construction of four 13-storey blocks of flats which are design- ed to house overspill population from Manchester. In London, Liverpool and other centres of high demand for more houses, preparations are being made to launch other systems of building dwellings on a produc- tion line basis. USE FRENCH SYSTEM These schemes, _ super- imposed on the traditional build- ing methods, are aimed a tpro- ducing the extra house-building which is envisaged in the gov- ernment's program. At Hey- wood, John Laing and Son are making the first use in Britain of what is known as the Sectra System developed by a French engineer. This scheme, one of the first major efforts to show what can be done by the new techniques, already promises impressive results in rapid construction. The builders say. that work will be completed in about half the time taken by traditional build- ing. Another advantage in an industry with a limited labor force is that the labor employed is less than half the normal number. STEEL MOULDS Instead of the usual timber moulds, steel moulds are in use at Heywood, These, cleaned and oil-polished after each concret- ing operation, ensure accuracy in measurements, and the con- crete is so smooth that walls and ceilings are not plastered, and are immediately ready for wallpaper or paint, The structure is mainly in units, each 18 feet three inches across, forming the ceiling and floor slab and the side walls, made in concrete about seven inches thick. Hardening of the concrete, which normally takes some days, is being done in 13 hours. by heat treatment. The moulds incorporate insu- lated water jackets and through these hot water is pumped from a portable boiler plant. After the concrete is set, the moulds are drawn' out on steel chan- nels and are then moved up for the construction of the next storey. The estate at Heywood, de- signed by the architect's de- partment of the Manchester Cor poration, has the variety of the Sectra buildings in a_ hill-top cluster, pleasant terraces of brick houses and the 13-storey blocks of flats at the base of the hill, BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO The Canedian Red Cross presented. an honorable mem- bership medal to T.

OTTAWA REPORT Parliament Hill 'Not Wholly Arid By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The NATO meet- ing in Ottawa is over. But the memory lingers on--of those mage lounges on Parliament ill! Parliament Hill has been 'dry' ever since the fire in 1917 destroyed not only the bar but the whole Parliament Build- ingm In the plans for the re- building, one large room was destined as a bar for our politi- cians. But the era of prohibi- tion intervened, and the bottles were never installed. Today that beautiful panelled room, known as 112-N, is used as a commit- tee room. But when. Ottawa made its admired and appreciated ar- rangements to be host for the three-day NATO meeting, con- cession had to be made to the legitimate habits of some of our important American and Euro- pean guests. Bars were set up in the remodelled West Block for the use of ministers of the member nations and for their journalists. Parliament Hill had never had-it so good since the Great Fire. The pleasant and com- fortable lounges sold assorted drinks at modest prices, such as 40 cents for a shot of rye. But when the NATO meeting was' wound up, the bars were closed. And for Parliament Hill, it was back to the tooth-glass and filing cabinet routine. FORCED INTO ABSTINENCE For why, when Canadians as a whole are spending more than one billion dollars per year -n beer, wines and spirits, should every denizen of Parliament Hill be forced into abstinence? As the great and uncriticized Robbie Burns wrote, 'Freedom and whusky gang togither!"' Years ago, after the rebuild- ing and after the end of pro- hibition, parliamentarians used to send their messengers to the nearest liquor store to buy their requirements. The _ resulting line-ups of parliamentary mes- Sengers in uniform were '*on- sidered to be undignified reflec- tion upon the reputation of our legislators. So some ingenious mind evolved the face-saving Witch Doctor Gets Results MONTREAL (CP) -- African witch doctors may not have read the latest books on psy- chiatry but that doesn't mean their methods are _ ineffective, Says a Canadian who spent 17 months in Nigeria. Dr. Raymond Prince of the transcultural psychiatric studies section at McGill University en- gaged in field work with native healers of the Yoruba cultural group practising in Nigerian towns and villages. He says that while Western methods in other branches of medicine are generally far su- perior, this isn't necessarily true in psychiatry. "In psychological. medicine the therapy of many healers is demonstrably effective and their results are as good as those obtained by Western psychia- trists."' Interviewed after his return from Africa, Dr. Prince said one thing in favor of the witch doc- tor is his personalized atten- tion. 'When a Nigerian mental pa- tient reports for treatment to a witch doctor he moves right into the doctor's home, often bring- ing his wife or daughter to help with basic nursing and food preparation. "This close relationship with the healer is in marked contrast with large Canadian mental hospitals where only a few psychiatrists are available for several hundred patients. "A native healer may have as few as six patients living in his home or, in the case of overactive persons, in a couple of huts in the yard where they are sheltered for the first 48 hours until sedatives quiet them. "The mental health programs of many develosine countries should make the fullest use of existing indigenous mental treatment facilities," READERS' VIEWS AJAX REUNION Dear Sir: At the termination of World War II when Defence Indus- tries Ltd. in Ajax ceased opera- tions and life for many people returned to normal, Ajax was in danger of becoming a_ ghost town as people moved nearer their places of employment. The years have passed and in spite of a shaky beginning the town is now a_ thriving community of over 8,000 with high hopes for a bright future. A few former DIL employees have been working together to provide a meeting place once each year for all former Ajax war workers. The DIL Re- union Association is now a char- tered organization and is spon- soring the 5th annual picnic in June, Through the medium of your paper we would like to in- vite all former Ajax war-work- ers to come out and renew old acquaintances at Rotary Park in Ajax on the shores of Lake Ontario on Sunday, June 23 at 1 p.m, Please bring a picnic basket for lunch at 4 p.m. Beverage will be provided.

From that source, any. parlia- mentarian who wishes may buy bottles, which are then con- cealed in the bottom drawer of the locked green filing cabinet in his office.

Parliamentarians of course are not the only toilers on The YOUR HEALTH Hill who are familiar with that blind pig.

MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Will you define secondary glaucoma? Is there any other kind except acute glaucoma?--E, M. Dear Sir: I have read arti- cles about glaucoma but none of them tells a layman if he can do anything about it.-- A.C. CG. Primary glaucoma means that it may result from causes which cannot ascertain, or may, for example, be congenital, Just glaucoma, in other words. Secondary glaucoma, on the other hand, is a result of some other eye condition -- cataract, tumor or the like. In either case, pressure builds up inside the eyeball, and this continued pressure hardens in and in time destroys sight by causing atrophy of the optic nerve. Glaucoma can be either acute or chronic. There may be a rapid rise in pressure, or it may be slow and subtle, but it remains dangerous just the same. Some estimates indicate that glaucoma may be respon- sible for as much as 15 per cent of all blindness in North America, There isn't any cheerful little formula for preventing glau- coma, so far as the patient is concerned; no special diet or anything like that. (Heredity ap- pears to be an important factor in some cases.) All the individual can do is to have the eyes tested from time to time. This is not a dif- ficult thing to do. A small in- strument called a tonometer is brought into contact with the eye. Currently there is increas- ing use of this by physicians other than eye specialists, and when a suspiciously high pres- sure is detected, the patient is referred to an ophthalmologist. A tonometer can often detect the problem before the patient has become aware of symp- toms. Blurred vision, pain in the eyes, headache, colored "haloes" around lights at night are among the signs. Once the increased pressure has been recognized, treatment should be instituted, Obviously, it is aimed at reducing the in. terior pressure. Medications help. Diet and restriction of to- bacco, alcohol and nervous ten. sion are important. In some cases eye surgery is the effective way to relieve the pressure, Surgery is invariably necessary in acute glaucoma.. Specifying the treatment is up to the eye specialists, and re- sults are good when the con- dition has not been allowed to go unrecognized for too long. That's why the articles haven't told the layman what to do. There isn't anything for him to do except have the eyes checked periodically. Women are more likely to have glaucoma than men, but it occurs in both sexes. Dear Dr. Molner: My little girl had chicken pox and it left quite a few scars and holes in her face. Can anything be dohe? Will they fade? She is only two, Is there any kind of medication I can use to make them fade?--MRS. C. W Yes, they'll fade naturally and probably won't bother her at all by the time she's in high school. There's nothing for you to do now except wait and not worry. They will get smaller. If, which is doubtful any of the pock marks are disturbing 10 or 15 years from now, a der- matologist can make. them nearly undetectable. But don't do anything now. Wait and see, NOTE TO A.B.: Some inter- ruption of mentrual .periods is not unusual in early teens. When the lapse continues for several years, consult a gynec. ologist. Certain endocrine dis. orders could ultimately cause sterility unless treated. Dear Dr. Molner: Please ae about astigmatism. Astigmatism is just a way. of saying that the curvature of the part of the eye through which light passes (the lens) is not correct. This in turn distorts what you see. An exaggerated example would be lookine at something through the curved glass of a bottle, instead of through a carefully ground magnifying glass. The distortion in the eye is not nearly that great, and it is usually compensated by wear- ing glasses.
