PSE ee Se She reskenee Oshawa Fines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario ~T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1963------PAGE 6 di i ; Shuffle Of Tory Team Doesn't Make Winner The "progressives" in the Mac- 'millan government conveniently re- moved themselves from the British cabinet, and the new British prime minister, the Earl of Home had a 'comparatively easy time of reshuff- 'ling the Macmillan deck. Had the 'perennial "heir apparent", R. A. 'Butler chosen,to go along with the idissidents Macleod and Powell, Lord 'Home might have had a difficult time of it. But once again Mr. Butler 'is the big man, next to the prime minister. Lord Home soothed Mr. *Butler's feelings by making him foreign secretary. By making Edward Heath, for- smer Lord Privy Seal and Britain's 'Common Market negotiator, the *boss of a new industrial depart- 'ment with the task of speeding 'modernization of British industry, tLord Home gave recognition to an- 'other. rival and at the same time 'tried to match Labor Leader Harold *Wilson's plan for a Socialist super- 'ministry of industrial planning. ' Lord Hailsham, another rival, con- tinues as science minister, put to complete his cabinet Lord Home had to resurrect poor Selwyn Lloyd to take over from Iain Macleod. It is essentially the same Con- servative team, however, and des- pite the brilliance of some indivi- dual members, it does not look like' a winning team, no matter how the positions are switched. Lord Home: himself appears more as a caretaker of the party and government -- a man who can be trusted to keep things fairly tidy until the election, when the Tories will absorb their licking like gentlemen and_ start putting together the pieces. Lord Home does not appear to be the man to inspire and lead a Con- servative revival. But he may re- main as leader for some time be- cause of the odd way the party goes about acquiring a leader -- a way in which far too much influence lies with two or three political families. Classroom Economics + Senior grades in Ontario high 'schools are to be introduced to eonomics -- something that should ~have happened a long time ago. 'This is a subject woven into the Yabric of daily living; its study casts light not only on the conduct "of the nation's business but on the aindividual's place in that business, = The teaching of it is not easy. "The subject can be as exciting as "life itself or it can be a statistical bore. * Just what the study of economics 'amounts to, or should amount to, 'was well expressed in a recent issue gof, the Quarterly Review of the <Australian Institute of Public Af- fairs. "Economics is, after all, a poranch of the humanities," the Yarticle says in part. "Its prime con- cern, indeed its sole concern, is with "the study of man, but especially Swith man as he reveals himself in "the business of earning a living and satisfying his physical wants... ~ "The tendency in modern econo- mics analysis to rely almost ex- "clusively on the national income "estimates. seems somehow to be "associated with an absorption in Sso-called mathematical economics. "It is assumed too readily by the national income addicts that the government is capable of adjusting its spending, taxing and other policies to compensate for excesses and . deficiencies, which appear to be revealed by the aggregates, with the precision needed to assure full | employment and a _ stable price level at all times. There is an abstract, ingenuous quality in all this which is to be deplored. "Economics is probably the most maligned of all the professions. But when one looks back over recent decades, it would be hard to find any advance in human affairs to parallel the achievements in the strictly economic sphere -- the progress in the Western World from the under-employed, low-standard- of-living society to the fully em- ployed, affluent society of today borders on the miraculous ... But the aspiring economist must learn, above all, to understand the world with which he has to deal. Mere academic attainments, even the most outstanding, do not necessarily qualify a man for coping with great practical economic issues... Terrible mistakes can be perpe- trated by those who prescribe not for the world as it is, but for the world as they think it is." Equal Before The Law ~ In theory, every Canadian is 'equal before the law and has an sequal right to the protection of the Jaw. In practice, some Canadians are more equal" than others because the are better able to afford legal 'counsel than their fellows or to pay fines and thus avoid the stigma of gail terms. © There are many excellent lawyers lin Ontario, the Hamilton Spectator ints out.

Ontario has had a so-called Legal Aid Pian for about 12 years. Not so long ago, a man appeared in a Toronto court-room and asked for counsel--exercising one of the free- doms contained in the Bill of Rights. The defendant appeared in court tive times and on each occa- sion repeated his request. Finally, at the end of five weeks -- which the man had spent in jail as a result of the repeated remands -- a lawyer agreed to give his services free under the Legal Aid Plan. In such cases, the briefs may go to junior members of the bar. The best lawyers are often to busy act- ing for clients who pay. What Ontario urgently needs is a legal aid system similar to that of Britain, where lawyers are paid out of the public purse. Bible Thought We should remember the poor.-- Galatians 2:10.

DEFENCE a CORROSION - A SHI SHIP'S WORST ENEMY REPORT FROM U.K. Old Army Hospital Marks Anniversary By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The Royal Vic- toria. Hospital at Netley, near Southampton, is celebrating its 100th anniversary, but as a "ghost hospital'. The hospital lies unused and unwanted. It is an empty remin'er of its era of usefulness which began when Queen Victoria laid the founda- tion in 1856 of the buildings which were completed and oc- cupied in 1863. That era ended when the second world war came to an end in 1945. The Netley Hospital, the army's first hospital of more than 1,000 beds, cost $1,200,000 to build over 100 years ago. Many thousands of soldiers were nursed back to health in its 138 wards. It reached the apex of its usefulness in the two world wars, in 2ach of which it saw a steady flow of patients. In 1944, it was turned over to the United States Army, which used it as a hospital until the end of World War Two, TERMED A SHOCKER Since the Americans turned the hospital back to the British army, it has been used very little or not at all. The old build- ings deteriorated, In 1956, Gen- eral Sir George Erskine, then the General Officer Command- ing the Southern Command, de- GALLUP POLL scribed the establishment as "a shocker', It was too big and completely unsuitable for use as a modern hospital or for conversion to any other purpose. Since 1958, it has lain unused and only essential maintenance work has _ been done on it. The Army has made no decision as to any future use of the hospital. It says "'in the meantime" the hospital might be of some service in case of emergency. So the hospital TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 23, 1963...

About three in ten approve and the rest are undecided. Of those who disapprove, the over-riding reason is that the raise was too much. Others say the previous salary was enough; that pensions should have been raised first; that MP's do not deserve more money.

This hospital served British sailors for over 60 years before it was closed down as a naval establishment two years ago. Now it has again opened its doors, and this time it will serve the needs of civilian patients from the surrounding district. A major conversion scheme which is now getting under way will transform it into the main general hospital for the Medway district towns and Sittingbourne in Kent. When the conversion is completed, it will have 500 beds. In the conversion, some of the existing buildings will be de- molished but others will be modernized and renovated to bring them up to modern stand- ards. for general hospitals. The final phase will be the construc- tion of an entirely new com- plete ward block. And included in its facilities will be a limb- appliance fitting centre. Which makes the story of the Royal Naval Hospital at Gilling- ham a much happier one than that of the Royal Victoria Hos- pital at Netley.

Our politics are too often a mystery permanently sealed up, because the men with the key cannot or will not write their memoirs. So, like a starving man, we can be grateful for, as we cer- tainly can enjoy, the autobio- graphy of the man whom news- papers made famous under that self - conscious phrase: "Our first native-born Governor-Gen- eral." But like any coffee ad- dict, even starving, we must re- gret that this welcome cup is only half full, and lacks the re- finement of cream and sugar. What's Past is Prologue, just publised by Macmillan at $7.50, is Rt. Hon. Vincent Mas- sey's own account of his life and of the many parts he has played in it. It certainly is a first - hand contemporary' ac- count, such as we too often lack; but it appears to be less than fully informative, and largely a self-justification. The famous and especially the titled people of two continents - are dragged willy-nilly across the QUEEN'S PARK pages, generally described by an intimate nickname; but too seldom is satisfying comment given on their relevance to the unfolding story. The Massey life story is known only in brief and mis- leading summary to most of us. Born with a silver farm imple- ment in his mouth, he was strictly raised as a poor little rich boy in the stern Methodist high-tariff Tory mould of Old Ontario. Two misty periods in his career were three years 'The turning pofnt in his life 'was his aera conversion io Liberalism; which -- resulted. in him accepting an i Peeibne ~ stand as a Liberal candidate. But his price was high. § "T felt Pg ~~ unreasonable. to suggest t ime that if I stood g a candidate for Parliament I should be given ministerial status." Surprisingly, his was granted; but having thus started his ---- the top any rung, he prom| off the ladder by ine : by the simple farmers Dur- ham County at the booths. Business circles in onto described him "as almost guilty of treason," a Liberal 'elder statesman re- ferred to his "inconsistency," THE MEIGHEN LETTERS Behind that brief interlude lies the famous mystery of his when he lived in Washington as Canadian minister, and an even more distant nine years when he was Canadian high commis- sioner in London. Later came seven well-observed years as Governor - General, when the brother of the distinguished ac- tor Raymond Massey gave an impressive and applauded per- formance. His memoirs give scant ex- planation of the two. great changes in his varied and not typically Canadian life. On his departure from the Methodist faith, there is but a brief re- ference to his acceptance into the Anglican Church by, the Archbishop of Canterbury in his palace in London. Fund Of Capital Pensions Factor By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--A key question in the pensions issue centres on "funding" -- perhaps the most pertinent question of all. The government here, and those opposed to the Canada Pension Plan, are in favor of funded schemes. One reason for this is greater security. They say that when a plan is funded it means the money will be there when it is needed. (With continuing inflation it also can mean that the pay- ments to pensioners won't be big enough to fulfil the purpose for which they were originally designed.) DEVELOPMENT MONEY? They have, however, a more pertinent reason, And this is the one that probably will--or at least should--be given the most thought by: the People of Can- ada. This reason is that. the.capi- tal accumulated in insurance funds is needed for the develop- ment of the country. The argument is that the bil- lions of dollars held by the in- surance industry, and the bil- lions more it will collect, are essential; that the economy would slow down without them.' And one can see perhaps the prime battle in the whole pen- sions issue centering on this point. For, very much up in the air. is the question whether. insur- ance money actually is '"'de- velopment" money. WHAT NEEDED? The national minister of health -and welfare, Hon Judy LaMarsh says it isn't. She says that actually more than 85 per cent of it is in- vested outside of Canada. If it is, of course, it isn't much use in building muscle in this country, Premier Robarts, however, disagrees with Miss LaMarsh He says that according to his information she is wrong I hope to pursue this question a bit further with the parties But beyond it there is a fur ther question. Even if a good share of insur ance money is being invested in Canada, is it being invested for development? Or is it going into mortgages and other essentally "safe" investment -- and per, haps actually holding back the country through an overly-cau- Don't Neglect Slipping FALSE TEETH Do false teeth , Slip or wobble pon you talk, eat, laugh or sneeze? everywhere. tious approach (such as too low risks and too high a rate on mortgages? ). This is a fundamental point, of course. And it is noteworthy that Quebec Premier Lesage is launching his own funded plan so he will have capital for the type of development he feels his province really needs. YOUR HEALTH . Corr p with Rt. Hon. Arthur Me'ghen, 'thet leader of the Conservative party. centred on prime minister Mac- kenzie King's intent to lower the tariff on farm implements-- a matter of great concern to Mr. Massey as head of the Massey-Harris company. Folklore maintains that Mas- sey penned his opinion of Mac- kenzie King as being a fool and a charlatan, and a mixture of insincerity and ignorance, When shortly after Massey became a Liberal minister, Meighen threatened to publicize this ¢or- respondence, and a great row ensued. Meighen did not write his memoirs; Massey has, alas for posterity, quoted the cor- respondence only in part, thus neither confounding nor con- firming folklore. But thereafter followed an as- sociation of 20 years with Mac- kenzie King who, according to these memoirs, treated Massey abominably. He spells out King's pet ti nesses, jealousies and insults; he sheds revealing light on why Canada has no Ca- nadian medal; and he gives a long but misleading version of the famous King-Byng constitu- tional fracas. Very many Canadians will en- joy this titillating book, beauti- fully written apart from the ir- ritating conceit of name-drop- ping. It contributes to our his- tory, but an unexpurgated edi- tions would have been real his- tory. - Women Irritants To Male Patients By Joseph G. Molner, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I've read your column for years about bursitis, neuritis, enuresis, cai- diac failure, spinal curvatures, peptic ulcers, possiblity of preg- nancy during _menopause and obesity. ay Couldn't you devote a few lines to what we im the nursing profession refer to as "patting and wetting syndrome"? This is when a hospital patient gets the most obnoxious treatment from well-meaning but annoying re.a- tives. Wives and daughters are the worst. Sisters and mothers run a close second. No sooner does daddy get into the hospital than all the women swarm in to comfort his. They pour water out of his drinking glass on to a wash cloth and start mopping his head. Then they pat his cheeks and hands. If the poor guy has surgery it is even worse. The minute he gets back from the recovery room some female is right there asking for a pan of ice water so she can start wiping his brow in. horizontal strokes while she pats his hand in vertical ones. Tt doesn't matter if he's had a sedative or "hypo" for pain. He must be made to know that ahe's there. Here is the poor guy trying to get some fest an someone is constantly patting him, changing the temperature of Ais skin aha Merrie "t's all right, daring, You're going to be fine, Mama will be right here. Naw you fast ao te sleep (palpald and don't worry, Your insurance will take Gare of most of the bill. We can sorrow the rest or I can go back to work. Just rest and don't worry about a thing." During this time she's slap- ing wet cloths on his forshead, patting his hands and rubbing his arms. Tender, ee care is fine, pal ats men come to visit their wives, they usually sit quietly beside the bed and read a paper.. If mama awakes and he's there, she's satisfied. Why can't women let men and babies alone in the hospital? If a baby is able to be held, some- one will sit there and pat its back until it couldn't possibly go t» sleep because of the con- stant whamming. I've-been nursing for 27 years and have never been told that wet cloths and constant annoy- ence were part of therapy for anyone. Make them comfor- table and leave them alone! I realize that these people mean ell, but can't you men- tion something about this? -- H.S. RN ... Nurse, I agree. But don't ask ME why some women have to be swatters and swabbers. YOU'RE a woman and I'm only a man, However,: we both know they mean well. Maybe this routine happens because lots of men must be fussed over if they have a sore toe or pain in the tummy, and their women folks get used to babying them, Or maybe it's something else, I don't know, Rut you're right, There are ate also times when a patient needs nothing so much as rest, see © 8 fee tee 8 CANADA'S ORIGINAL MUTUAL FUND HAS DECLARED ITS 123"° CONSECUTIVE QUARTERLY DIVIDEND THIRTEEN CENTS PER SHARE PAYABLE NOY, 1, 1963 TO SHAREHOLDERS OF RECORD OCT, 18 THIS DECLARATION BRINGS 1963 TOTAL DIVIDENDS TO A RECORD 41¢ PER SHARE casu orvioenns excer> $57,000,000 asmct orcanzanon Canadian Investment Fund, Ltd.
