Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1964--PAGE 6 'Two Provinces Pursue Ombudsman-Plan Study Two provincial governments gave notice last week they intend to in- vestigate establishment of ombuds- . men -- citizens to whom taxpayers can submit complaints about what _ they consider' unfair or arbitrary action by employees or agencies of government. The proposals were contained in the throne speeches delivered to the legislatures of Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan. This is something of a break- through. The provinces do not say they will establish ombudsmen, of course, but only that they will in- vestigate the idea. Still, this is a big step in the right direction and may encourage other provincial governments and the federal gov- ernment to pursue the same line. Ombudsmen are needed. It is quite possible nowadays for a citizen's rights to be accidentally, even. de- liberately, crushed by the vast jug- gernaut of government adminis- trative machinery. Thousands of administrative decisions are made each year by governments or their agencies, many of them by lowly Planning By The archaic municipal structure in Ontario may yet be given a thorough going-over, to reshape it to modern realities. Members on both sides of the Legislature have been pointing to the need for re- forms -- including some of the younger, more articulate Conser- vative members, which is most en- couraging. And they have been joined by municipal and real estate experts. R. E. Sanderson, president of the Ontario Association of Real Estate Boards, had much to say on this topic in his presidential address de- livered today at the association's convention in Toronto, He said: "If we are to avoid the extremely costly mistakes of the past -- if we are going to plan our cities, towns and municipalities intelligently and economically for the enjoyment of future generations -- then planning and its administration need to be on a far wider and more comprehen- sive scale." He sees the one simple method of officials, and if some of these de- cisions are arbitrary or unjustified, there is no easy way for the or- dinary citizen to gain redress. In the past the courts were the bulwark of individual rights, but as Prof. Donald Rowat of Carleton University pointed out some time ago, the common law has lost much of its flexibility and is no longer an effective instrument for remedy- ing the wrongs of modern adminis- trative action: "The courts are too costly, cumbersome and slow, and the extent of their power of review is not at all clear, although certainly severely limited. Generally, they will review a decision only on a ques- tion of legality and refuse to re- view its content, wisdom or even reasonableness." Special administrative appeal bodies have created -- the Income Tax Appeal Board is one. But they are comparatively few and res- tricted. What is needed to protect the ordinary citizen is a special parliamentary commissioner, or om~- budsmen, to receive and pursue complaints. a Regions accomplishing this: The establish- ment of regional or area planning boards, with the pooling of assess- ments within the region, He went on today: Such regional pattern of development and planning would integrate rather than displace the local municipal government." The boundaries of these regions would take into account such factors as geography, municipal boundaries, drainage basins, traffic arteries and metropolitan concepts. The func- tions of local planning boards would be vested in the regional plan- ning board, Mayor Lyman Gifford of Oshawa was saying something very close to this some years ago. So have some local planners. More emphasis on regional plan- ning alone, however, would be prac- tical only with the fullest co-opera- tion of the municipalities as now constituted. A more effective method would link regional planning with a sensible re-drawing of muni- cipal boundaries to fit the regional pattern. Nazi Skeltons Rattle Skeletons from the Nazi past are arising to haunt Ludwig Erhard, West Germany's chancellor for only 15 weeks, the Milwaukee Journal notes. First Hans Krueger, minister for ' refugees who was supposed to be a "man without a past", was caught up in charges of having dealt out death penalties as a member of Nazi courts in occupied Poland during the war. Then Ewald Peters. chief security officer who recently ac- companied Erhard to Washington and President Johnson's ranch in Texas, was charged with taking part in the mass killing of Jews in Russia in World War II. The chancellor acted with com- mendable dispatch in Krueger's case. He forced his suspension pen- ding investigation. With Peters, he had no chance to act. The security She Oshawa Times 1, L.

Minister Krueger was brought down by documents produced by the Communists in East Germany. Al- though he maintained his inno- cence, he had to admit the correct- ness of some of the evidence. Last week he submitted his resignation, which was accepted by Erhard. Qne by one, ex-Nazis are disap- pearing from places of power in Germany. Some remain, though, especially in ranks of the senior civil servants. Erhard cannot be held directly responsible for Kru- eger and Peters. They were carry- overs from the Konrad Adenauer regime. But it is fair to ask, as the German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung does, why the German gov- ernment cannot find out if a can- didate is "clean" before he is ap- pointed or promoted to high office. The slipups -- and there have been a number of them -- are grist for the Communist East German pro- paganda mill. Other Editors' Views HODGE-PODGE (Windsor Star) Some of the provinces may come up with good ideas which the Federal Government can incorporate in the (Pension) legislation. But the program is, and must be, a Federal one. Only in this way can there be equity and conformity. A hodge-podge of different systems by 10 provincés would be an utter mess. LEAP YEAR CANDIDATE REPORT FROM U.K. Church Of England Reforms Proposed By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Proposals for sweeping changes and reforms in the structure of the Church of England will be coming before the Church Assembly «when it meets later this month. These reforms are spelled out in a re- port entitled '"'The Deployment and Pay of the Clergy" pre- pared by Leslie Paul, of the Church Information Office, If the proposals which he has made are accepted, traditional practices which have remained untouched for centuries will be swept away. The members of the clergy would become "'Chris- tian soldiers' ready to be moved to places where they are most needed. The old custom of the parson's freehold, which in effect settles a parson in a vic- arage or rectory for life, almost immovable except for some grave offence, would be abol- ished. The Bishop of Lincoln, Dr. Kenneth Riches, describes this report as the most important document which has ever come before the Church Assembly. POSITION OF PARSONS Mr. Paul's document proposes that the parson's freehold be turned into a 10-year leasehold, renewable for another five years, But after the seventh year, the parson would be inter- viewed about his work and fu- ture by the bishop. This change would give the bishop the power --often badly needed--to move a man on for his own or the parish's good, or because re- organization requires it. Bishops too, would be on a 15-year time limit, and be liable to review by the archbishop during the terms of office Mr, Paul recommends a sya tem of minor and major par ishes, with the larger ones under the jurisdiction of a group of clergymen each holding ineum ' bent status -- somewhat similar to the group practice whieh te common in the medical prefes sion He calls the present eysiem & "haphazard = distribution =f men'. For instance, in the dip ceses of Hereford, Norwich and Exeter, there is one clergyman for between one and two thay sand people, In Birmingham, Sheffield and Liverpool the ratio is about one to 6,000. OLD CUSTOM One of the traditional customs which the report recommends should be ended is that by which a large landowner or Lord of the Manor has within his gift the pastorate of the church within his domain, This is quite common in England, and the rector or vicar holds Offices in these parishes at the whim or desire of the wealthy citizen who has had control of YOUR HEALTH the parish passed down to him from centuries past. Mr. Paul would abolish this entirely, and this is one aspect of his report which would meet with very strong support, He also has something to say about clergymen's salaries. He Says: "The many fantastic differ- ences in parsons' pay should be ironed out by pooling all ben- efits into one common stipendi- ary fund, with parishes being graded according to responsibil- ities and duties, The salaries of the clergy should be geared to that of teachers, with a 20- years-service parson at the same level as the top scale for graduate teachers." With so many drastic reforms Suggested in the report, it is certain to produce q keen dis- cussion at the meeting of the Church Assembly. Effect Of Allergy Can Be Dangerous By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Some attacks of allergy are dangerous; they can be deadly. Not often, perhaps, yet fre- quently enough so that people who are highly sensitive to cer- tain things should be aware of the possibility. Angioneurotic edema is a form of hives, but it involves the deeper tissues instead of the outer skin. 2 A relative of a close friend had a narrow brush with this form only last summer, He was staying at a cabin in the woods, and one day passed a field of ragweed. His breathing became diffi- cult (due to swelling of tissues at the opening of the windpipe) and he collapsed. Such attacks can be fatal, and at times have been, in this case a relative was also a nurse, Things happened ao fast that she wasn't entirely sure of the altuation, but she was alert enough to know that adrenalin would help. fhe was rlghte-and he quickly recovered, It ia allagether likely that her quick thinking saved hie tfe in other eases (often with penieiiiin, if the peredn hak he enime sensitived ta i) the feet May he eo swollen and painful as li) make walking lnpossihle Tt is Hie sathe Bort of reaction, BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Feb, 10, 1649 Many distinguished visitors at. tended the preview of 1949 Gen- eral Motors models at the plant here. Co-hosts were E. F Armstrong, chief. engineer, and J. B. Highfield, general manu- facturing.manager of the com- pany. Basic English Classes for Displaced Persons were largely attended at Ajax. Ray Mark, principal of Ajax School, and members of the teaching staff, were engaged as teachers in the program. John R. Beaton, local student at the University of Toronto, was awarded the Chemical In- titute of Canada prize, Mrs. R. E. McMullen was re- elected president at the annual meeting of the Girl Guides As- sociation. W. H. Gifford's rink composed of Ray Bemis, Les Eveniss and Bob Wright, emerged as Osh- awa's "British Consols" repre- sentatives for this zone when they scraped out of a 12-11 vic- tory over Pard Canning's rink on an extra end. Rev. Dr Ho J. Cady, MA, LLD, DD, former President and Chancellor of the University. of Toronto, was the guest speaker at the luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Rotary Club Special guest at 'Military Night" celebrations of Lebanon Lodge, AF and AM, was Maj.« Gen. C. Churchill Mann, CRE, DSO, Vice-Chief of Staff of the Canadian Army. Other guests included It.-Col. E. F. Bastedo, commanding officer of the On- tario Regiment; Maj. F, W. McEvyen, Lt.-Col. L. W.

The new 600-unit housing proj- ect under the direction of George W. Finley, Ajax Development Manager of the Central Mort- gage and Housing Corporation, was under way at Ajax. except centred in another part of the body. The difference between severe allergy and anaphylactic shock is, for practical purposes, a matter of degree, Some individ- uals are so intensely hypersen- sitive that contact, particularly by injection, causes such a se- vere shock to the whole system that death occurs or is immin- ent. Penicillin reactions are some- times in this category. Another example is insect stings, While this is not common, they never- theless cause more deaths, in the temperate zones at any rate, than bites from poisonous snakes. In such instances im- mediate use of adrenalin or steroids may sometimes be the only remedy between the pa- tient and quick death. I hope these examples will not panic anyone, but they do em- phasize that in some instances the danger can be extreme. Even aspirin, for instance, can cause unpleasant reactions in some few people. About 75 per cent of us have occasional bouts with allergy: Hives, the sneezes, itchy, diges- tive disturbances, or such minor examples About 10 per cent have sub- #tantial allergic symptoms of ne kind or another, And a few encounter frightening experi- endes, oF worse, So keep that in the back of your mind, in ase you begin to develop, par- tioularly, ae vere interference with breathing in connection with allergic exposure.

The big dangers are that the mother will not be able to carry the baby to full term or that the infant will be still born. OTTAWA REPORT Dociors Reviving Ancient Treatment By PATRICK NICHULSON OTTAWA -- While scientists are perfecting new medical cures; it is whimsical to learn that doctors in France, Britain and Russia are relearning a treatment familiar to the Chi- nese thousands of years age. This is acupuncture, wi means "pricking with a nee- die," or specifically 'the inser- tion of needles into living tis- sues for remedial purposes.' The Advocates of acupuncture stress that any physiologically reversible disease should be treated this way, Its wide ap- plication is shown by the fact that about four out of five patients visiting their doctor suffer from physiologically re- versible diseases which have caused no permanent patholog- ical damage. Such ailments can be relieved by the almost pain- less prick, with a fine needie, of the appropriate acupuncture points, of which there ate nearly 1,000 scattered all over the surface of the human body. WHAT MPs SAY : The official printed report of parliamentary proceedings, commonly known as Hansard, The official printed report of parliamentary proceedings, commonly known as Hansard, is not always an exact report of what was said-in our House of Commons, The report. is edited; but this process is not intended to change the sense of what was said. Its purpose is rather to eliminate the super- fluous repetition and gram- matical errors which are com- mon features of extemporane- ous speaking. The classic example of edit- ing performed for other reasons related to the last day on which Mackenzie King appeared in the House as prime minister, Several -prominent MPs spoke Sincere or routine eulogies of him, then Jean Francois Pou- liot--now a senator but at that time a Liberal MP--rose to utter a stinging denunciation of his Jongtime. leader. The entire speech was deleted: from the recom. JUDY'S BIRTHDAY Just before Christmas there was an example of prudent ed- iting. Jack Pickersgill, as House leader, rose to propose the vur- der of business, and urged con- sideration of the estimates of the department of health and welfare. The minister, Judy LaMarsh, had been subjected to some rough attacks on the sub- ject of the pension plan, and Jack Pickersgill said somewhat apologetically: 'Since the hon- orable lady has. been sitting here all day, and as we have had two or three goes at her already and as I beileve she is now ready for us again, I won- der whether we could not make READERS' VIEWS HOSPITAL PRAISED Dear Sir: I am enclosing a copy of a letter I have just forwarded to the Oshawa General Hospital. . This letter is self-explanatory. My reason for sending same to yourselves is to let the people of Oshawa know how much a resident of Toronto appreciated their excellent hospital facil- ities. I am sure the people of Osh- awa have contributed a great deal financially toward the building of the hospital and if it is possible, through your news- paper, to extend my sincere thanks to them, it would be greatly appreciated. The letter follows: Superintendent, Oshawa General Hospital, 24 Alma Street, Oshawa, Ontario. Dear Sir: On January 18th, I was. in- volved in an automobile acci- dent on Highway 401 and was taken to the Oshawa General Hospital, where I was confined for twelve days. I feel I must let you know how impressed I was with the excellent attention given to me by all the staff in the Emer- gency Ward, in the Intensive Care Unit and on Floor 3F. Everyone seemed most anxious to help in every way, showing efficiency, kindness and consid- eration, I should appreciate it very much if you would pass along my gratitude and sincere thanks to all those concerned for mak- ing my stay as happy and com- fortable as possible. I do hope the people of Osh- awa realize how fortunate the: are in having such an ef- ficiently-operated hospital, with a most co-operative staff. PAUL HARDEN Agincourt, Ont.

MARCHING SONG Every veteran of the Second World War is familiar with the famous marching oe of the Nazis, Lili Marlene, the music of which was perhaps the most valuable booty captured by the Desert Rats when they forced the Nazis back in the campaign following El Alamein. Now a lively controvery has Sprung up over the question "Who was Lili Marlene?" the beautiful subject of that song which reminded every man in uniform of the girl he had left behind. The German actress Lilly Marle recalls a summer eve- ning walk with the German poet Hans Leip before he wrote the famous words; beside the river, the street lights shone down on her pretty vivacious face, Many Germans believe this ,episode made the song. Lilly is ked, "I am a Jewess," she "My mother died at Auschwitz concentration camp. It would be an irony of history. if the Nazis marched to a song in- spired by a Jewess." TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Feb. 10, 1964... Canada formally passed under British control 201 years ago today--in 1763, The occasion was the sign-. ing of the Treaty of Paris, formally ending the Seven Years' War. The war ac- tually had ended four years earlier with the capture of Quebec in 1759. The equality of the self-governing mem- bes of the British Common- wealth was confirmed by the Statute of Westminster in 1931. 1840--Upper and Lower Canada were united. _ 1949 -- Narayannvinayak Godse was sentenced to be hanged for the ination of Mohandas Gandhi. GALLUP POEL Visitor Sees Big Change In Algiers ALGIERS (Reuters) -- Since Algeria became independent in | July, 1962, its capital, Algiers, has undergone many changes, some immediately apparent, others more subtle, Perhaps the first thing te strike the visitor who knew Algiers under French rule is that the centre of the city, once almost completely European, now has become almost com- pletely Moslem. The trees in the Rue Michelet are as carefully trimmed as ever and the pavements and street swept and hosed, But the bands of boisterous young Euro- pean students have dis- appeared, The cafe in front of the university, once the meeting place of right wing "Algerie Francaise" students, has changed its name and is fre- uented mainly by yo Ions reading lot er The news stands still sell a wide selection of French maga- ines. on every imaginabie sub- ject, from jazz and home dec- orating and yachting to love 'ovelettes. But the majority ot Paris daily newspapers are not available. STREETS RENAMED So far the Rue Michelet, named after the French bis- torian, Jules Michelet, has re- tained its name, But many others, which formerly bore the names of French soldiers and statesmen, have been renamed after Arab revolutionaries, In Bab el Qued, the European working class district which was the Secret Army Organiz- ation's stronghold and where no sey dare set foot in the months preceding independ- --, the pip para re- maining are elderly -- born in Bab El Qued whe ton that they are too old to make a fresh start elsewhere. In restaurants and bars, the "segregation" of Europeans and Moslems is most apparent. By law, an Algerian Mosiem may not be served alcohol and the onus is on the cafe pro- prietor to see that the law is obeyed. In the cafes around the Casbah, the owners have solved the problem by only coffee, tea and soft drinks. Pearson Gets Approval On Foreign Relations By THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Canada's relations with the U.S. are no better or no worse since Mr. Pearson took office than they were under Mr. Dief- enbaker's leadership in the opin- jon of half the electorate. Among those who find a change --there are six times as many voters believing our relations have improved, as think they have worsened. This gives Mr. Pearson a vote of confidence from 81 per cent of the people who hold that Canada and the U.S.are on the same friendly basis -- or a better basis -- than they were under the Con- servatives. ' Conviction that things are bet- ter between the two countries is most wide-spread among those in the upper income le Among those with lower oe ing power, there is a consider- able indifference on the ques- tion with about one-fourth ti decided.
