Bhe Oshawa Times _ a) od Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher ' FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1963-----PAGE 6 Depressed Area Scheme 'Shows Its Weaknesses Grave doubts about the federal government's "depressed area" legislation were expressed by this newspaper when the plan for luring industries to those areas was first announced. The doubts have now been fortified by events in south- western Ontario. Communities which haye gone out after indus- tries are now in the process of losing industries to communities which are "depressed" largely be- cause of their apathy. Brantford politicians were miffed ?when that city was. included in the "federal government's "depressed" 'list. But they have been silent since 'Guelph and Kitchener have seen in- 'dustries which were expected to fsettle in those cities suddenly de- * cide that Brantford -- through the *federal tax concessions -- offered »more advantages. A delegation from the Wellington-Waterloo area went to Ottawa last week to complain, > but got a cool reception from In- dustry Minister Drury. Mr. Drury Conservative leader Diefenbaker can be as arrogant as he likes, but he has little to be arrogant about -- he is working on bad legislation. Karl- B. Hines. president of Nashua Canada Ltd., wrote a letter to the Peterborough Examiner last week, noting the hazards of the depressed-area legislation from an industrialist's point of view. He pointed out that a difference of 130 jobs put Brantford in the depressed category but kept Guelph out. As the Examiner comments, "soon after this was revealed, Magnetic Metals 'of Canada moved from Guelph to Brantford to take advantage of Brandford's preferred position. Its departure could conceivably put enough people out of work in Guelph to qualify that -city for depressed classification, and its arrival in Brantford may reduce the unemployment-population ratio be- low the depressed level." F All that the legislation is doing, obviously, is shifting jobs, rather than helping to create them. force immediately. But this week | -Dief Loses His Touch - 'She took the opportunity on the first day of the new session of Parlia- ment to demonstrate that he has learned nothing from the political events of the past two or three ' years. He got the House embroiled in a tedious debate over the govern- ment's proposal to increase the old- age pension by $10 a month. Does not Mr. Diefenbaker under- . stand that the country is fed to » the teeth with the stupid game of » petty politicking, that it wants Par- liament to get down to business, * that it expects the members of Par- liament to start earning the hand- 'some salary boost they pushed through with indecent haste just a few months ago? Mr. Diefenbaker, just a while ago, ; was sonorously demanding that the » government. divorce the old-age " pension increase from the contribu- tory pension plan and put it into he was trying to bait the govern- ment for changing its mind, and thus -was holding up the procedure for parliamentary approval of the increase. He seems to have lost his political touch. His comment on the results of the Ontario election was that they showed Ontario's disenchant- ment with the federal government. The results showed nothing of the sort: What Ontario did in two elec- tions was to reject Mr. Diefenbaker and endorse Mr. Robarts. There is little doubt that were a federal election held tomorrow, the results would be very similar to those of last April. What the On- tario election showed was that, if the federal Conservatives want a revival of Ontario support at the polls they must seek a leader who has not disillusioned the Ontario voters.

Can there be complete unity in any country that has two or more major cultures until those cul- tures blend into a common culture that gives individuality to the country in which the blending has taken place? These are questions which any commission of this kind wil! have to consider carefully and without prejudice of any kind. "" YOUR HEALTH Smear Test Gives Doctor Good Start By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Recently I quoted 'a letter from a woman who went to a clinic for a "'smear or Pap test" for cancer. She had no particular reason to go, except that the test was offered free as a service to the public, and to emphasize the imporiance of cancer. Well, she reaily had cancer, but in its early stages. It was successfully removed by sur- gery. Appearance of her letter was followed by a curious array of other letters which, to me, are clear indication that some more things need to be stressed about this type of test. One I regard as shocking read: "Dear Dr. Molner: After your article on the Pap test, I in- quired about having it done by my family doctor. As he was not in, I asked the receptionist to call back when she had dis- cussed it with him. "She phoned that the test could be done at 'the office but the doctor felt it was re'atively useless. I have not discussed the subject with him, but I'm wondering now is medical opin- ion divided on ths, and why?-- MRS, AM." That doctor is a rather rare exception, ' Well-informed physi- cians are in no disagreement. And the figures, recently pub- lished by the American Cancer Society, should open the eyes of even the doubters. In 25 years, the death rate from cancer of. the uterus has been reduced: almost one-half, and the "Pap smear". is prob- ably the most important reason. Treatment has improved, too, but this cannot begin until a cancer has been found. And the Pap test 'inds cancer! The best I can say for the doctor who calls it. "relatively useless," is to agree that some cancers of the uterus (espe- cially of the cervix) are found without using the Pap test. But they are never found as soon, and that is the important point. It is true that the test is fre- quently made and cancer is not found to be present. For in- Stance, the General Federation of Women's Clubs in 1961 spon- sored a campaign, and as a re- sult 285,527 women had the test. Of this 'number, 107 either were found to have cancer of the cervix, or had what is known as a "'pre-cancerous con- dition"--the cells had begun to change malignantly, but had not yet produced a mass or lump which could be seen. All 107 of these women were unaware that cancer was start- ing. All detected it in time so that treatment was effective. Yes, it amounted to only one case in about 2,500 tests--but ask those 107 whether thy con- sider it "relatively useless." Take the remainder of those 285,420 women, and by the law PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Nine times out of ten it's the person who says he doesn't be- lieve in advertising who tries to chisel the paper out of free publicity. What he really does mot believe in is paying for advertising. "If you must kiss red paint, kiss a barn door," advises a preacher. But, parson, a barn door is so unresponsive. "Stork Wins Race with Ambu- lance" -- Headline, Yes, but which had the earlier start? + ie of averages another group of them will have developed can- cer the next year, and some - more the following years. Based on the past, 40,000 American women will learn this year thai they have cancer of the cervix or uterus. And 14,000 of them will die. Most of the deaths will be because the can- cers were not found in time. However, along with that let- ter from the woman whose doc- tor was so grudging about the "Pap test," there were others with quite a different story: From North Carolina: "Remarks in your column en- couraged me to have tests. The surgeon assured me I had acted in time to prevent cancer of the cervix, I hope more people take your advice --MRS. CGR." From Florida: "The company where I am employed had a film on cancer shown to women employees. After seeing it, I had a Pap smear. The doctor told me to call him for a report in a week. "However, on the third day he asked me to come to his o'fice for a biopsy. It definitely showed cancerous' cells. "Since the disease was in the early stages he gave me radium treatment followed by X-ray. It was effective. "Now I have regular tests and cannot thank God too often for letting. me see that film.-- MRS, PHT." Does cancer of the cervix mean an end to childbirth? Not necessarily. This depends on how early it is detected, and how much tissue has to be re- moved or treated. Here's a letter from Maine: "Three years ago my doctor gave me a Pap test and dis- covered I had cancer. My hus- band and I had only one child and wanted at least another, so naturally I didn't look forward to a hysterectomy. "The specialist suggested that I have a 'cone biopsy' (to de- termine accurately how far the cancer extended). "In about eight weeks I am expecting my second child, Also for two years my smears have been negative. Maybe I'll have a third baby. "I didn't get pregnant as easily this time and have had to be very careful since a great deal of my cervix was removed. But I thank God 'orthissecond But I thank God for this second chance.--MRS, EB." There is some difference of opinion. among doctors as to how early in life a woman should have the test annually after 40. Then this was changed to 30. Tere is no guarantee that cancer cannot develop until a specific age. Some doctors recommend it even earlier, and I agree. There was only one fact that I omitted from the last letter, Mrs. EB was 2% years old! I have, as well, received a Number of letters asking: "Where can I get a free Pap test?"' Like any other service, a Pap test costs something in skill and equipment. If it is, at times, given "'free," somebody pays for it, even if the recipient doesn't. If we all waited for "free" tests, a good' many cancers would develop in the meantime, Sometimes groups or employ- ers arrange for tests without charge. In some (but not all) cities, cancer foundations 01 branches of the American Can- cer Society support clinics which provide such services free or at only nominal cost, So check locally for this infor- mation, But I don't think it is wise to depend on finding 'free' tests. For one thing, there aren't enough such clinics to take care of everyone. For an- other, the Pap test is a very simple office procedure, pain- less, and inexpensive, Using a swab or a small spatula-shaped paddle, the doc- tor collects some of the moist secretions from the cervix, or neck of the womb, or uterus. Samples are "fixed" on a glass slide, and then examined under .a microscope, following the principle established by the late Dr. George Papanicolau, for whom the test was named. His principle, of course, is that all cancers start at the level of cells which, for reasons unknown, suddenly begin divid- ing at an uncontrolled rate, and produce new cells which are abormal and distorted. Finding these abnormal cells when they first begin to appear can thus "'detect-cancer before it is really a cancer,' That's why the "Pap test" ig 80 useful. And that's why cancer of the uterus, which caused 25.5 deaths per 100,000 females in 1937, now causes less than 14 per 100,000, If the Pap test were taken by every. woman, every year, this death rate could be halved again, and yet again.

Ot Life Hope VANCOUVER (CP) -- How high is the price of independ- ence? How much does it cost to give a family a financial boost out of poverty? 4 It can cost very little by West- ern standards in some parts of the world, As little as $10, says the man who yearly adminis- ters $1,500,000 to the poor chil- dren of Korea. fa Ray Dawson is a man with "thousands of children," work- ing for the Save the Children Fund. Passing through here on_ his way back to Korea from Eng- land, Mr, Dawson commented on the plight of Koreans: "What the people want is work. If they only had a little capital they could manage. Ten dollars can set a family on the road to independence. "With this a family can start 'Mum' off as a Korean cake maker,. With the money they can buy her a small stove, pots, ans and ingredients, Then she settles at the roadside and hopes to-make 30 cents in a 12- hour day. "But this 30 cents is enough to help her family to a better way of life nutritionally, at least." , WORK AT CLINIC Mr. Dawson, with a staff of seven doctors and nurses, works at the Peter Spohn Clinic at Kam Chon. The clinic is sup- ported by funds from British Columbia and is a memorial to the late Dr, Peter Spohn of Van- couyer, His work, says Mr. Dawson, is "intermingled with joy and pathos." There are the mothers who bring their babies to the clinic for treatment of the two main medical problems in Korea-- tuberculosis and malnutrition. "Once a month mothers can come to the clinic for their food ration of 45 pounds of flour or cornmeal and cooking oil and dried railk for the babies. "The people also need protein 86 they use bean curd, a cheap gruel made of soya beans that are grown in Korea. It's cheap and is,one thing they can buy or grow for themselves," As well as serving as a health centre, the clinic is a lunch room to Kam Chon children, who eat their midday meal there. He says the Korean govern- ment is working on the problem of population explosion and that in 56 government health cen- tres, family planning units give advice and dispense birth con- trol devices. In co-operation with the gov- ernment-sponsored National Re- construction Movement, the Koreans are given information on health and hygiene through movies, tape recordings and live talks.

Politicians of all parties here have been stunned by the con- trast between the way Ontario, and especially Toronto, voted in two elections this year. In last April's federa! election a massive Libetal sweep cleaned all the Tory candidates out o' "Tory Toronto', and at- tracted 45 per cent of the votes in the whole province, However, in the provincial election last week an even more impressive Tory sweep completely turned the tables. The 18 federal ridings which make up Greater Toronto re- turned 16 Liberals and 2 New Democrats in April. But last week, the 30 provincial ridings which cover the same area saw those two parties win less than -- of the seats between them, Early tabulation of all the votes cast in Ontario in last week's provincial election show that the Liberals received only 35.5 per cent, while the Tories attracted 48.6 per cent. But in the federal election five months earlier, the Tories had garnered only 34.7 pér cent of the proy- ince's total vote, while the Lib- erals won 45 per cent. WHAT FIGURES SAY If Ontario had voted in April as it did in September, the Conservative Party would have won 15 more seats. The returns from Ontario would have been 42 Conservatives, 37 Liberals and 6 New Democratic MPs. As it was, of course, the lower Tory vote cut that party down to a mere 27 victories in On- tario. This was the fourth low- est total which that party has won in all the 26 general elec- tions since confederation, With that change in Ontario alone, the federal election in April would have yielded a very different result. There would have been only 114 Liberals MPs in the House of Commons, and the number of Conserva- tives would have gone up to 110. The swing ridings which would have returned' Conserva- tives are Brantford, Brant-Hal- dimand, Carleton, Durham, Es- sex South, Hamilton West, Hastings South, Lambton-Kent, Leeds, Lincoln, Norfolk, North- umberland, Renfrew North, Renfrew South and Wentworth. In two of those, Conservative cabinet ministers were de- feated: Hon R. A. "Dick" Bell in Carleton, and Hon. Ellen Fairclough in Hamilton West, Those two, as well as the Tory candidates in the other 13 swing been elected had Ontario voted in April as it did in September. -- Many electors vote 'in provin- cial elections in a way that con- tradicts their federal vote. But Parliament Hill does not accept this as the full explanation why the equivalent of 385,000 voters = st -- their votes ween April and September, This was the number that, Shunning Tory candidates in April, and voting instead for Liberal or New ocratic or Social Crédit candidates, re- -- to the Tory 'old last wee! FADED IMAGES BLAMED John Wintermeyer, the oro- taro, anueensed hr seubeeaiie 0, announi on from that post after the defeat of his party and of himself in last week's election. But al-' ready in Ottawa he is seen as not being the lone casualty of the Ontario election. An casualty, it is thought here, will be another John -- Diefenbaker the Conservative federal leader who was licked in April, Only the massive disenchant- ment of Ontario voters with bis leadership can account for the topsy-turvy Ontario vote, it is being said on Parliament Hill. Even senior Tories who stood behind Diefenbaker during the sensational "Battle of Prin- ciples" last February are now expressing their conviction that their party must choose another leader before it can stage a comeback, Last week's vote proved con- Cclusively that Ontario has not turned Liberal predominantly; but the April vote revaled that the Die'enbaker "vision" is a pricked bubble in the eyes' of Ontario's sophisticated citizens, CANADIANS ARE 9TH TUTZING, West Ge (CP-AP) -- Italy's Mario Capi and Marco Satori won the third heat of the Flying Dutchman world sailing championship Wednesday on Lake Starnberg.
