= Peppa fee yom ermrnpapniny siregrs op af a Zines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, MAY 5, 1964---PAGE 6 Dignity Of Parliament - Suffers Another Blow Was it just plain temper that led Transport. Minister Pickersgill to make such a hash of his announce- ment of air policy? He released the details to the press and appeared on television to make a fairly poli- tical statement, and ignored the House of Commons until next day. He was obviously annoyed because a Speaker's ruling had prevented him from making the statement in the House in reply to a question. He then tried to claim that it had not been a policy statement but an outline of "certain principles" on which the policy should be based. But this was obyjously semantic dodging; there was clear direction given the airlines, and if that isn't policy, we don't know what is. Mr. Pickersgill may or may not have forced the CBC to give him prime time for his statement. Both he and the CBC deny the charge. But that is not the main issue, and the members who tried to make it the main issue missed the whole point of the transport minis- ter's performance. The issue is contempt of Parliament, not only by Mr. Pickersgill but by all mem- bers, on government and opposition benches, who persist in pushing Parliament deeper into the bog of futile procedural and personal wrangling. The transport minister had an important and long-awaited state- ment to make on air 'policy. The place to make that statement was the House of Commons -- but not by means of the clumsy device of a question. Speaker Macnaughton was justified in ruling the question out of order, on the ground that it required a lengthy and detailed answer, likely to provide debate. A minister as well acquainted with the rules of the House as Mr. Pickersgill is did not need to employ such a device, Opposition spokesmen were right to take him to task for his error. But then the proceedings rapidly degenerated into the sort of wrangle which has become all too common in this Parliament. The petty bicker- ing did as much damage to the dignity of the House as did, Mr. Pickersgill's act of contempt, Lotteries Lose Again Once again an effort to legalize properly supervised lotteries has been blocked by the House of Com- mons. The latest in a series of private member's bills has been talked out, One wonders if the mem- bers who keep dodging the sweep- stakes i§sue really understand what is going'on about them. This newspaper opposes the raising of money through lotteries for activities which demand the sup- port of all citizens -- such activities as hospitals, schools, fire protection, which are vital to the community and the costs of which must be borne by the whole community. But there are other activities which could be properly supported by lot- teries -- the Canada Council, for example. At the same time, we must face realities. The people of Canada are overwhelmingly in favor of pro- perly-run lotteries, and an enormous amount of money goes out of the country each year to the promoters of lotteries in other countries. The Irish Sweep alone takes millions of | dollars of Canadian money and re- turns a comparative trifle in the Our Special Canada will be in a special posi- tion in the controversial "Kennedy Round" of tariff negotiations -- so called because the origins of this meeting under the General Agree- ment on Tariffs and Trade were in the U.S. proposals put forward under President Kennedy. In 1962 the U.S. president was given authority, under the Trade Expansion Act, to negotiate recipro- cal tariff reductions of up to 50- per cent-from existing levels and to eliminate tariffs of five per cent or less. In the past, negotiations under GATT have normally been carried out bilaterally and on a commodity- by-commodity basis. While the She Oshawa Tones T, L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

Every test of publie opinion -- apart from the obvious evidence of the popularity of the illegal sweeps -- has indicated that Canadians want lotteries and will buy sweep tickets whether or not Parliament and the law approves. It's highly likely that the amount of Canadian money going to the foreign operators will increase dur- ing the next few years, as state governments in the United States operate lotteries. New Hampshire will be running a sweep this year, and California is considering a mas- sive venture, with monthly prizes totalling at least $9 million. The proponents of the California plan estimate that the state would gain $365 Million annually from the scheme. It's a good bet that a lot of the tickets in the American loteries will show up in Canada. One fear is, of course, that racke- teers would gain control of the lot- teries. There is no reason why they should -- if the lotteries are gov- ernment-operated. And no one sug- gests that the crime syndicates have gained control of the Toronto Stock Exchange or the Ontario Jockey Club. Position negotiations were between two coun- tries at a time, they were in effect multilateral since, under the most- favored-nation clause, the benefits of reductions had to be extended to all GATT signatory nations. By the same token, the nations making the reductions expected to receive compensating reductions from all countries which benefited from their tariff cuts. The Kennedy Round will not, for the most part, be on the traditional pattern. It will be based on a plan of across-the-board, tariff reduc- tions, each covering a considerable range of commodities, with as few exceptions as possible, Allowances will be made, however, for the less developed nations in order to help them increase their exports without necessarily giving equal benefits in return to the developed nations. Special consideration will also be given to countries which already have very low tariff levels or which have economic patterns which would be thrown out of adjustment by a rigidly applied across - the - board tariff cut. And that covers Canada; our important exports of food and primary products already enter their world markets with little or no duty and would benefit little. Canada is trying to determine what tariff ad- justments are needed to compensate for the increased access which would be given to foreign producers.

The Oshawa Times LOCH LOMOND, Scotland -- Loch Lomond in Scotland is famed in song and story for its beauty. Yearly. it attracts hund- reds of thousands of tourist visitors from all parts of the world, drawn there by its repu- tation as one of the. loveliest places in a beautiful country. Nestling under the steep slopes of Ben Lomond, it is "fully worthy of all that has been written about its beauty and its attractions for lovers of un- spoilt scenery. Now a scheme is under way to add historic interesf to the beauty of the Loch Lomond area. On the island of Inchcail- YOUR HEALTH loch, one of the many-which dot the surface of this well-known lake, a team of archaeologists is starting this month to make a survey of archaeological re- mains which are believed to lie under the surface of this island, The survey is to be under- taken by the Islay Archaeologi- cal Survey Group. It has been invited to do so by the Nature Conservancy, which actually owns the island on which the survey is to take place. Its of- ficers believe that some worth while discoveries of real histor- ical interest, will be made by the survey party. It will be dir- ected by Dr. W. I. Carter, of Marborough Hill, Harrow, who is the London secretary of the 40-member group of Islay Arch- aeologists, Wants To Donate Body To Medicine By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Would a medical. school accept as a gift my body at death? I would like to arrange this with a college in California, with my eyes to go to an eye bank, etc. How should I go about it?--F.P. This is primarily a legal mat- ter, because your body is not like, a piece of property which you can give away. Rather, your nearest kin has the re- sponsibility of deciding what should be done. Your wish is a_ reasonable and' generous one, but to ac- conplish it, you must make ar- rangements in advance. Legal conditions vary from state to state, but the general principle remains pretty much the same. : California has enacted speci- fic laws governing this, and you can find out what to do. In some states you can't find out because no such legislation ex- ; pone In California, besides stating your intention in your will, you should make elear your wishes to your immediate family, and send a copy of your intention to the medical school you have chosen. Your spouse (or near- est kin) should have a copy, as well as the trust company or executor who will handle your estate. The state health depart- ment must have a copy in ad- vance, too. ' A bit complicated? Yes, and you will need the help of an attorney, but it won't really be too. difficult a task. Do, not, in any case, try to make such plans and then keep them secret. Those who have any need to know must be in- formed well in advance When it comes to corneas for eye banks, or other tissues for artery or bone banks, it is con- siderably easier, but it still re- quires advance preparation, and notification of those who will handle your estate. Eyes and other tissues must be removed promptly after death (before embalming, cer- tainly, and preferably just a3 soon as possible) if the gift is to be useful. Remember that the 'circum- stances surrounding death (grief, shock, worry) may cause your wishes to be temporarily forgotten unless you have mat- ters fully arranged. The donation of eyes has be- come much more frequent in recent years, and your eye Specialist, or people in the eye department of the medical school or hospital of your choice will be glad to guide you. In many instances they will have forms you can fill out, or will be able to tell you where to get them readiy. : Dedr Dr. Molner: A group of girls were talking and this ques- tion arose: Can a 14-year-old- girl become pregnant by taking a douche? I said no but two said yes. What is the answer? Wondering The answer, as you said, is no. Pregnancy is caused only by the union of a living male and a living female cell. The ones who disputed what you said were ignorant of the sim- ple, basic facts of life. (Don't, of course, get the idea that a douche is a reliable way to pre- vent pregnancy, either.) This island is known locally as "The Isle of Old Women."" This name is derived, it is be- lieved, from the fact that in long bygone days there was a nunnery established on it. It is three-quarters of a mile long, half a mile wide, and is com- pletely wooded, Thus it adds its own touch of bevuty to the Loch Lomond scene. There are, however, many historical associations with the island. For centuries, it was the sacred isle and burial place of the Clan McGregor. In_ his novel version of the life of Rob Poy McGregor, Sir Walter Scott makes the famous freebooter Rob Roy swear by one of his ancestors who is buried there. ANCIENT GRAVES In the graveyard, now hidden among the trees, are carved gravestones dating from medi- eval times down to the 19th century. The island also con- tains the ruins of a chapel, the origins of which go back for 1000 years or more, There are also the remains of a farm- Stead abandoned two or three centuries ago, and an ancient dyke. Clearnace of the dense vege- tation which covers the sites to be explored will be heavy work for the research team, and the group is extending an invitation to volunteer hedpers to join the 'party. The actual survey will last from May 16 to May 30, and the party of workers will camp on the island during that period. Divers from the scientific wing of the British Sub-Aqua Club will also take part.. They will search for what are known as "'crannogs,"' pre-historic lake dwelings which are known to have existed on Loch Lomond at one time. OTTAWA REPORT Differences Noted | In Hospital Roles By PATRICK NICHULSON OTTAWA--"'The Coming Cri- sis in Medicine: Canada's short- age of doctors!" This headline would have de- scribed accurately the kernel of a recent debate in the Com- mons, when Gordon Churchill, @x-veterans affairs minister and a veteran himself, moved a vote of 'censure against the Lib- eral government for its "'an- Lat:: Abdi to: 'abil its responsibilities" for veterans health care,. by handing over veterans hospitals to provincial or municipal control. The usual quota of irrele- vance was spouted by "debat- ers' who had, as usual, failed to study the subject and learn the facts. But among all that chaff there was a grain of wheat--real 'No, 1 Northern" wheat--contributed by an ex- pert on medical affairs: Oril- lia's physician and surgeon who enjoys international fame, Dr. Phil Rynard, He hit the nail squarely on the head by describing the val- uable role which veterans hos- pitals play, not just in care for veterans, important though that is, but in the more significant realms of medical research and the training of doctors, MISHAPS TOP KILLER The greatest cause of illness and death among Canadians un- der 35 years is actidents.

What doctors can learn in vet- erans hospitals is essential med- icine for our aging population, needed to remedy what are now the handicapping and even dis- abling afflictions of old age. Behind Dr, Rynard's advoc- acy of veterans hospitals is also his deep concern about the growing ¢eficiencies in medical training in Canada, both quan- titative and qualitative. The 10 nations enjoying the highest proportion of doctors to inhabitants include Russia and four other Communist coun- tries; the second 10 include Uruguay, Greece and the U.S.; the third 10 include Cuba, Po- land--and Canada, which hag more than twice the number of patients to each doctor now per- taining in Israel. SAVED BY BRITAIN Our medical schools are geared to handle euch small classes that they gan graduate only about 850 @ectors each year. But we have had a for- tunate and fortuitous salvation through a wave of immigration of trained doctors, running as high as 600 in recent years. "We have been robbing Brit- ain," Dr. Rynard told me, "'get- ting highly qualified doctors whose costly. training has been paid for by another country." Dr.' John McCreary recently warned our Senate - Commons health committee that our medi- cal training facilities are slip- ping far behind those of the U.S. So we get fewer and less well - trained doctors than we need; worse, we lose many of our best teaching doctors to the U.S, where they find the better teaching facilities more reward- ing. In this field, our governments are largely to blame, said Dr, McCreary. Ottawa contributes far more, in grants, scholar- ships and facilities for the training of scientists than for the training of doctors who are the most essential element in our vaunted social security scheme. In these circumstances, Dr, Rynard warned, our govern- ment would make a disastrous mistake to abandon the present invaluable system of federally- operated veterans hospitals.
