Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, FRBRARY 12, 1964---PAGE 6 Father Bauer And Team Earn Canada's Thanks . Hockey is a highly flammable sort of game. With its speed and bodily contact, it could not help "but be; and being that sort of game, "it lowers the ignition point of not "just the players but officials and "spectators, When hockey and poli- ties are mixed, it becomes a highly volatile mixture indeed. This was demonstrated once again at the Olympic Games, with one "Canadian official making a parti- "eularly ill-advised outburst -- "we'll never compete again" and so on. Which was a pity, because this year's Canadian entry in the "Olympic hockey tournament was a ' eredit to the country. * 'The Canadian team did not win » an Olympic medal, which naturally 'was a disappointment, But it was ' still a winner in every other way -- and it demonstrated that, with a little co-operation from Ottawa and : the men who control hockey in Can- + ada, an inspired coach like Father Big Danger The great danger in the Cyprus situation is that it will involve the armed forces of Turkey 'and Greece, That is why it is of urgent impor- tance that some sort of effective peace force, under international auspices, be established on the island as quickly as possible. A British foreign office spokes- man has been quoted as saying, "The danger of civil war has always been inherent and things have de- teriorated in the last two weeks." Another observer has noted that if the scattered outbreaks of shooting develop into a full-scale fight, a point could be reached where Tur- key would be strongly tempted to . send an invasion force to protect : the minority Turko-Cypriot popula- : tion. And if that happened ,Greece and Turkey, both members of ' NATO, would be embroiled in war » and the entire southeast flank of NATO would be exposed. A Canadian Press correspondent, Doug . Marshall, reporting from Study Food A major study of food irradia- : tion is being made at the US. army's Natick (Mass.) laboratories, reports the Arthur D, Little Indu- trial Bulletin. The army's interest is logical and logistical, Anything that reduces the bulk and weight of food while keeping it fresh for long periods will make it cheaper | to store and transport than heavy canned foods. So far the U.S. food and drug administration has approved only irradiated bacon, wheat and wheat products as safe and fit for hu- Man consumption. Others under study include chicken, oranges, ground beef and potatoes. Radiation is proving itself a versatile tool. Low doses of gamma radiation are used to prevent pota- toes from sprouting or to protect -grain shipments from insects pests. *Medium doses can be used to pre- vent mold in fresh fruits and vege- tables. Tests show that the shelf life of irradiated fruits, vegetables and fish may be extended as much as two to six weeks under refri- She Ostaron Fimes T, L, WILSON, Publisher C.

Logically, of course, Canada should send its very best hockey team to these tournaments -- and that would mean all-star team from the National Hockey League. It may come to that, but now the absurd Olympic rules prevent it. In the meantime, Father Bauer and his young men have shown how a good representative team can be assembled. There isn't much doubt that had been given the co-operation he needed last October, the result at Innsbruck would have been dif- ferent. But are we interested enough, between Olympics, to make the necessary effort? History says no. We don't get into a flap until the tournament is on -- and that is much too late, In Cyprus London, says that=the Greek- Cypriots appear to be bariking on the improbability of an invasion. London observers believe that Arch- bishop Makarios, president of Cyprus, is gambling for the big stake -- a new constitution that will give the Greek-Cypriots major- ity rule and restrict Turkish minor- ity rights to a bare minimum. Britain is not only suspicious of the archbishop's motives, but wor- ried that he may be calculating that it is worth a little bloodshed to gain long-term ends, Marshall writes: "One possible solution of the Turks hit the landing grounds is for British troops to cordon off the northwestern corner of the island and impose a frontier between the Greek and Turkish beligerents. This in effect would be partition, a solution long advocated by Turk- ish-Cypriots as the only practical way of settling the issue." Treatment geration, Canned bacon, sterilized by irradiation and stored for two years at room temperature, has proved quite edible. Commercial food companies have been watching closely over the army's shoulder, the Milwaukee Journal reports. The process still has some problems to overcome, One is present high cost. Another is the lack of light-weight irradiation equipment suitable for use in har- vest areas. One is the fear that irradiation may change the odor, flavor, texture and appearance of food. Best present. guess is that these problems will have been mastered within five years or so. Other Editors' Views DEFENCE DEFENDERS (Vancouver Province) Canadians have nothing against the public relations officers of the national defence department. But they are staggered to learn there are so many of them that Defence Minister Hellyer is going to reduce number as an economy measure. There are 198 on the department's public relations staff---a group / large enough to edit four Canadian metropolitan newspapers. They out- number the next biggest PR staff in the government (health and wel- fare) by four to one. They have an annual budget of $1.6 million, of which three-quarters goes for salaries and the rest for expenses such as cameras, darkroom supplies and paper. And there is duplication and triplication in a lot of their work. } ECONOMY { fy f A P le ¢ ' j f tl 3 ~ Ne | '| OPERATION BOOTSTRAPS REPORT FROM U.K. Plan Skyscraper Apartment Block By M. MeINTYRE HCCD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON --Higher and high- er go the buildings in London as land becomes more and more scarce, and what is just as im- portant, almost prohibitively ex- pensive in the nation's capital. By sheer necessity, the London City Council is being forced to make its blocks of' housing apartments go ever higher to provide accommodation for th ds still h i Its latest project is a massive skyscraper block of apartments YOUR HEALTH which will house more than 500 people. It will be one of the largest residential buildings to be found anywhere in Britain, While it will soar to a height of 27 storeys, unlike most of the housing blocks which are nar- row structures, it will also be wide, with six apartments or maisonettes on each of its 27 floors. And some of the most modern ideas for 'high' living have been incorporated in the design. SITE IN POPLAR The project is now coming be- fore the London County Council Chronic Infection Complex Question By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What causes a chronic infection? My doctor says it could be one of a hundred things. My blood count shows more white than red cells.--E.S.S. One of a hundred things? I think your doctor is conserva- tive. Some infections come to & head quickly--an infected fin- ger, or a cold, or a boii, or any number of others. Your body does 'battle with the in- vading germs. The number of white cells in the blood increases because these are needed to kill and consume the germs. "Infection" means that mi- croscopic armies of germs and white cells are at war. Not all. infections reach such a decisive climax, though. There can be a pocket of in- fection which smoulders along. Perhaps we could compare it to what we once thought, in 1939, was a "phony war" in Europe: Armies facing each other but doing very little fight- ing. The white cells may be mo- bilized in the blood. There can be some subtle elevation of temperature; fatigue and lassi- tude; a change in sedimenta- tion rate of the blood; anemia. There may be vague aches and pain -- and yet a "hot war" does not break out to the extent that the point of infection be- comes obvious. For just a few examples, there may be infection at the root of a tooth or teeth; or in the gums; or the sinuses, 4r. in a man, the prostate; or, in a woman, a.tubal infection; or gall. bladder trouble, or a rup- ture of a diverticulum, or an ulcer in the bowel or anywhere else in the body, Nose and throat are two common sites. These remarks may not be of much consolation to you, but they will at least give a notion of the complexity of the prob- lem until the type and place of the infection are learned. If it is a bacterial infection, the use of an appropriate anti- biotic may, in the end, gve you a quick and easy solution. But even then it is necessary to know which «ind of bacteria. In other instances surgical removal of the infected area oa hipred preferable--extraction tooth, drainage for an in- fected sinus, removal of a gall bladder, drainage or other treatment for an abcess, heal- ing of an ulcer. Dear Dr. Molner: I was told that rubbing lemon -rind on es 4 or bunions would help, <7 but I have tried this many times without relief. Should I use the inside of the lemon in- stead?--Mrs. E.D. No. Just forget that anybody told you about lemon rind. It will not help either corns or bunions. Dear Dr. Mo!ner: We have a (two-week-oid baby in the fam- ily. Relatives want to take flash pictures at frequent inter- vals, I question the safety. of this. Will the baby's eyes be affected? She stirs as the flash goes off although her eyes are closed.--Mrs, E.P. To the best of my knowledge, a baby's eyes will not be harmed. The flash should not. of course, be aimed straight into the baby's face if the eyes are open. An adult wouldn't like that, either, so why should a baby? : With eyes closed, the baby will still notice the flash, as you would, because the eyelids don't cut off light entirely. So she stirs, but it doesn't mean any damage is occurring. Even so, I prefer a minimum of flashlight photography ° for tiny babies. GALLUP POLL for final approval, and when that formality is completed, the giant building will be erected on Rowlett street, just off the India Dock road, opposite the Black- well Tunnel in Poplar. The scheme, which also in- cludes old people's flats in a separate low block and under- ground garages, has been plan- ned by a private architect, Er- no Goldfinger, with the co-oper- ation of the LOC. architect, Hu- bert Bennett. One of the unusual features of this block is the locating of the high-speed elevators in a sep- arate tower connected to the apartments b, bridges at every third floor. By using this meth- od, the designers hope to elim- inate much of the noise endured by tenants of'some high blocks of. apartments. This separate tower will also house such amenities as drying rooms for clothes and refuse chutes, To help solve the problems of young children who cannot go out to play if they are living 200 feet or more above the ground, there will be special @layrooms for youngsters under five on eight of the intermediate floors of the block. Supervision ar- rangements for them are in- cluded in the plans. SITE LANDSCAPED Down on the ground there will be extensive gardens and lawns. The whole area of the site, which takes in about 22 acres, will be landscaped. The garages for the tenants will be built be- neath the lawns, Most of the apartments will be of the two and three-roomed type. There will, however; be a number of one-room flats, while there will be others of four and five rooms to accommodate larger families. As an added amenity, all of the homes in the block will be space-heated. At a height of 270 feet, the new apartment block will be ranked among the city's highest buildings. It will be almost as high as the tower of Westmin- ster Cathedral, which rises to a height of 284 feet. BUY EARLY MONTREAL (CP) -- January and February are the best months to buy mink pelts, says Montreal furrier Felix Reid: A furrier for 40 years, Mr. Reid says there's a wider choice of pelts at this time than any other because mink,: like wheat, is sold in annual crops. Johnson Has Big Lead . Over All Contenders By AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION + (World Copyright Reserved) . President Lyndon Johnson continues to hold an impressive lead (69 per cent) over all po- tential Republican contenders in the 1964 U.S. election. In a series of "trial heats" the American Gallup Poll has established that President John- son has a three-to-one lead over Richard Nixon, former Republi- can vice president. And Mr. Nixon is now slightly ahead in popularity, over all other GOP contenders. Sincethe Gallup Poll introduc- ed trial heats in 1939, there has never been an occasion when ,a presidential candidate of one party had so great a lead over contenders of the opposing party as Mr. Johnson has today. 'Mr. Johnson has the' support of 68 per cent of U.S. voters to 4 per cent for Mr. Nixon; 75 per cent to 20 per cent for Sen- ator Barry Goldwater; 74 per cent to 17 per cent for Nelson Rockefeller. About half of the American electorate today claim to be Democrats. Republicans and Ine dependents divide the other half. Thus, the Independent vote is of vital concern to all presidential candidates. The trial heatg show that President Johnson holds a large majority of the Independent voters, against all leading GOP hopefuls. In this group he is the choice of about three in every four persons. _At this period in the elee- tion year, 34 per cent of the Democrats would like to see the late President's brother, Attor- ney General Robert Kennedy, named vice president at the Democratic conyention in Au- gust, Adlai Stevenson is next choice with 26 per cent, RENOVATES HALL BRANDON, Man.

This is the effect of the old Mackenzie King ban against any nation, even Canada, say- ing "Thank you" in the world- wide accepted way of bestow- ing a decoration upon Cana- dian who perform services be- yond the normal call of duty. But in fact Parliament Hill fs aglitter with honors, and I was happy to observe a cabinet minister last month resplen- dent and looking splendid as he wore the star and collar of a foreign order at a ball. Our Senate literally abounds with titled Canadians. It in- cludes knights of France, Greece, Jerusalem, Malta, Bel- gium and The Netherlands; it includes knights of the Holy 'Sepulchre, knights of St. Greg- ory and knights of the Eques- trian Order. CANADIAN ORDERS Despite the official ban on titles and honors for Cana- dians, the Senate--like every large Canadian community -- also contains knights of Colum- bus and knights of Pythias. When is a knighthood not a knighthood in official eyes? Not long ago, our cabinet had a stormy discussion at which it was ruled that one Ca- nadian, who happened also to be a minister in that cabinet, should not accept a knighthood offered him by France, This de- termination was based upon the ancient dogma that Canadians may not accept such recogni- tion for their public services. Yet not one hundred yards away from the council cham- ber where this ruling was be- ing given by the prime minis ter, there was sitting in his of- fice a senator who already had accepted this same distinc- tion How crazy is this dogma! One Canadian may not accept an honor which another has ac- cepted. Going further, a prime minister says that a cabinet minister may not accept an honor which that prime minis- ter's superior, the govermor- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Feb. 12, 1964... Gold was discovered in New South Wales, Australia, 113 years ago today--in 1851, Discoveries began near Clunes, at Anderson's Creek, near Buninyong and in amazing richness at Bal- larat and Bendigo. The rush was on, and land prices and wages soared. In 1850, the population of New South Wales and Victoria was 265,- 503, but by 1860 it had jumped to 886,393, The gold boom began to decline after 1857 and many miners turned to farming. 1956--Twenty-two persons drowned when a Nile River ferryboat capsized near Mansama, Egypt. Fighting erupted be- tween Israeli and United Arab Republic forces near Ashmura in Israel, general, has already accepted and wears with pride, 'There are three living Cana- dians who have been sworn into the high office as prime minis- ter, All three have maintained the dogma that Canadians may not accept a title from the head of any nation, without first sur- rendering Canadian citizenship. Yet all three have themselves broken that rule. For what else than a@ title awarded by the head of another nation is the designation as "Chief Bald Eagle" or similar honor, which has been. accepted by each of them from the chiefs of the nation which originally inhabited this country? What else than a lifetime title of dis- tinction is the appellation Right Honorable which each of them has accepted from the Queen? HON. WITHOUT COUNTRY? The highest honor which the Indians can award is member- ship in the "Crazy Dog Order" of the Blood Reserve of the Blackfeet Nation. A senator has been accorded the title of Chief Akay-na-muka 'Many Guns' 'by the Crazy Dogs; he has not been requested to forfeit his Cana- dian citizenship. Yet if he had accepted the comparable title. "Lord Gladstone", for that is. his name, from the Queen of Canada, he would have been ig- nominously expelled from the citizenry of Canada. Of coures we humans are all basically vain; we are proud of our little achievements and we value recognition, With an in- verted snobbery we cling to the 4 democratic boast that we have no citizens distinguished by titles. Yet we seize on such oc- cupational or lifetime titles as "Your Worship' and "Honor- able' and even as "Doctor"' stemming from an honorary de- gree. sa ee eh ASA RIM tee ing.
