Pathan Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontarié: T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Clarification Needed Of Pension Amendment -» A-clear statement on the present status of the Ontario pension plan should be made by Premier Ro- barts. Considerable public confusion exists following charges aired in Toronto that the plan has been watered down to a point where it is meaningless; and» Mr. Robarts' vague comments on those charges. The whole point of the Ontario legislation was the creation of con- ditions to make portability of pen- sions a practical process but. sub- sequent amendments, it would ap- pear, virtually wipe out these con- ditions for all but the older portion of the working force. There has not been an effective denial of the charge that when the plan goes into effect on January 1 of next year, a pension plan worker under 45 will not be eligible for pension porta- bility, and company pension con- tributions will not be vested in an employee until he is 45 and has been employed for 10 years. Under these circumstances, the under-45 worker may or may not be able to protect his pension if he changes jobs, depending on the pen- sion conditions of the companies in- volved. The conditions tend to tie him to a job, with the pension bene- fits balanced against the possibilities of improving his position with a change. The government may have had second thoughts about the costs of the original scheme, as suggested by two or three newspapers. But the Ontario plan did not visualize the government's running a pension scheme; what it did was to lay down the rules for private schemes, cover- ing all concerns employing 15 or more workers, to enable workers to carry some sort of pension with them wherever, they went to work in Ontario. It is up to Mr. Robarts to ex- plain and justify the apparent shift in emphasis" Mysterious Mr. Banks As relief from the dismal and re- petitive flag debate there is the strange case of the mysterious Hal Banks. One would not think that any- one as obvious as Mr. Banks could escape the eagle eye of a federal government whose tax agents are able to spot a delinquent dime at a thousand miles, but that is what has happened. ' Justice Minister Favreau, who should have more than a passing interest in the activities of Mr. Banks considering the amount of trouble that the erstwhile SIU boss has caused the government, con- tinues to display a surprising lack of concern that Banks has flouted Canadian courts and made a mock- ery of our processes of law. This is a startling reversal of attitude since Banks appeared a month ago before a court in Quebec. Then the crown was very much concerned about his rontinued availability, with crown counsel first objecting to the grant- ing of bail and then when bail was set at $25,000, commenting that it should be at least $50,000. One gets the impression that the justice department is rather pleased that Mr. Banks has made himself unavailable -- that the hope he would "get lost" has become a happy reality. If Mr. Favreau thinks that such an impression is cruel and un- just, he should: set about correct- ing it -- by giving. Parliament more definite information. What_he has been able to contribute so far amounts to exactly nothing: No, he doesn't have any idea of Bank's whereabouts; no, he doesn't know whether U.S. immigration author- ities have been asked whether Banks crossed the border If Banks never returned to Can- ada again, it would probably be a good bargain for Canada. But the circumstances of his leaving make our federal agencies look foolish. Perhaps the justice minister couldn't care less. But many Canadians will care, that a man like Banks is show- ing gross contempt for our pro- cesses of law, ' Puts Principle First The Cabots and the Lodges -- despite the jingle that condemns them for snobbishness -- have play- ed distinguished roles in American development from colonial times, Henry Cabot Lodge combines the strains, and no member of either family has demonstrated a greater willingness to put principle and public service ahead of politics and, partisanship. He is now on a special mission for his country -- the latest of many -- touring Western capitals to explain U.S. policies in Southeast Asia to allies of the United States. This being a political year, the implications of Lodge's acceptance of this new assignment for Presi- dent Johnson have heightened in- terest.

He said flatly that - Vietnam was not a political issue in this election year -- a stand the opposite of that of Goldwater. His willingness now to defend U.S, action in Vietnam abroad is further notice that he considers them non- partisan. Obviously neither President John- son nor Lodge is unaware that Lodge's mission is doubly helpful to the president. It makes use of an able man on an important mission and also dulls the criticism of Lodge's fellow Republicans where Vietnam is concerned, Some Republican leaders were angry when Lodge accepted Vietnam ambassadorship and when he stayed on long after the fight for the Republican nomination had begun. But they may find it diffi- cult publicly to criticize Lodge now because he informed former Presi- dent Eisenhower of his new assign- ment and Eisenhower immediately announced that he was "delighted."

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON--Britain is still suf- fering from a serious shortage of beef, but thanks to a special effort made by Commonwealth YOUR HEALTH countnies, it is hoped that the situation will be remedied in the near future. An appeal to Australia and New Zealand has met with a splendid response. More than 20,000 tons of meat will be shipped from Australia to Britain within the next Crystallized Bile Creates Gallstone By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD. Dear Dr. Molner: What about the gall bladder and reasons for its removal? You explain better than our family physician be- cause he uses big words that I don't understand.--Mrs. M.P. Well, I admit that after 20 or 30 or more years of thinking in medical terms, it's easy to use words that are expressive and precise to us as doctors -- but may not mean as much to the average person. I have an easier time of it than other doctors, because I can go over what I've written, and change things around if I see that I've been using too many technical terms. Now about the gall bladder. It's really just a "reserve tank." Let's start with the liver, which produces a very useful digestive juice called bile. This is stored in the gall bladder, which is just below the liver. Then when needed, the stored bile is discharged, through what we call 'the common. duct," into the'intestine. It's the "com- mon duct" because it carries the bile both from the liver and the gall bladder. The most frequent (but not the only) gall bladder problem is the formation of gallstones. Bile, in the gall bladder, is a thick fluid, and sometimes the materials it contains can crystallize, just as sugar some- times crystallizes in a jar of jelly.. These crystals are the "stones." There may be few or many; big or so small they look like sand. A small particle may get into the common duct and slide right through and cause no harm. Others are too big to get into the - duct. Sometimes one is small enough to start through, -but gets stuck part way. Bile can't get through so it backs up in the liver and into the body + via the bloodstreams. It is yel- lowish in color, so the patient gets the look we call '"'jaun- dice." Digestion is impaired be- cause of lack of bile in the in- testine. And the jammed stone is intensely painful. In such cases 'there is little question about what to do: Op- erate unless the stone very quickly manages to go on through. At the other extreme are cases in which stones have ac- cumulated in. the gall bladder but have caused no symptoms: No pain, no jaundice. We call these "silent". stones. In such cases the patient. may object to surgery when, so far as he can see, nothing's the matter. It then becomes a matter of the physician's judgment. The gallbladder can. become _in- flamed, and cancer is not im- possible from the long-con'inued irritation. As you may well guess, the patiemt's general health, age, and other factors must be considered, too. © Removal of the, gall bladder prevents - further "storing up" of bile; instead, it goes direct from liver to intestine. Heavy eaters may have to change their food habits, cutting down on fats and sometimes other items. But' many people discover that having average eating habits to start with, removal of the gall bladder requires no change in diet at all. Dear Dr. Molner: Our son contacted TB while in college. Every year when he takes the test, he is positive, although X-rays do not reveal any TB. He has heard that once a per- son has contacted the germ, he will always have it. Is there no way of getting entirely rid of it?--MRS,. TCP I assume you mean that he has skin tests, which are posi- tive This "positive' does not mean he is carrying the germ in an active state, but only that he has been in contact with it -- and his system has developed antibodies to fight that germ. So, since he knows this, there really is no need to take skin tests The 'purpose of a skin test is to see whether such contact ever has been made. If not, then there's no need to test in other ways. Do not mistake the skin (or tuberculin) test as meaning that he 'has the germ." month, and about 18,000 tons of this will be beef. New Zealand has also agreed to take part in the drive to help beat the shortage which has been caused in the British beet market by, the failure of the Argentine Republic to send the usual quota. Though the New Zealand share will be smaller than that of Australia, amount- ing to around 3000 tons of beef, this will assist in lowering the record prices which British housewives are now having to pay for their weekly beef joint. TO COMMON MARKET A report issued by the Com- monwealth Economic s ho w s that in the first six months of this year the Argentine diverted to Common Market countries about 50,000 tons of beef which would normally have come to Britain. This was due to the fact that the Common Market countries are paying higher prices for their beef than Britain has been doing. Argen- tine shipments to this country, already down 50 per cent, have now shrunk to a mere trickle. The shortage has sent whole- sale prices of imported beef soaring to a record level of over 50 cents a pound. The supply of fat stock ex- pected from Britain's ow farms also failed to , appear when it was most wanted, pro- bably because of extra market- ing earlier in the year. The net result is that in the shops ban prices have reached luxury levels. CANADA'S POSIION An experimental shipment of beef sent. to London from Canada by Canada Packers, Limited, recently, showed that Canadian beef quality is of the right type to satisfy the British market. The prices paid for imported beef at that time were not sufficiently high to encour- age further experiments of this nature, It is not considered like- ly that, because of this, Canada will be able to make any sig- nificant contribution towards helping to meet the British beef shortage. A spokesman for the minis- try of agriculture reports: "Australia and New Zealand promised several months ago to make an all-out effort to in- crease supplies in order to make up for shortages from the Argentine. These promises have now been kept. The Common- wealth total will be about five times the quantits of beef sent in the same period last year, and this will more than offset the Argentine deficiences.""

The reve: flag, traditional signal of distress, turned out to be an appropriate if unconscious call for help as the young Na- tional Indian Council was torn by suicidal squabbling. The council, third attempt in half a century to unite Canada's 200,000 Indians for a better deal from the white man, was beset throughout its three-day confer- ence by an open feud between its chief, Calgary lawyer Wil- liam Wuttunee, 38, and deposed council princess Kahn - tineta Horn, 22, beautiful and articu- late Mohawk fashion model from Montreal. Significantly--and this will be remembered among. Indians eager to escape from paleface paternalism -- the council an- swered its own distress signal. On the verge of disintegration, council members drew back in near unanimity to strengthen their leadership with unity- minded officers. The Wuttunee - Horn dispute was described by one council member as "a clash of person- alities" which grew more vitup- erative as it developed during the first ha'f of this _year "until - we were all dragged into it." Mr. Wuttunee, accustomed to OTTAWA REPORT the council chieftainship and impatient with dissent, started out more than a year ago on friendly terms with the self- assured Miss Horn, attractive and articulate' spokesman for her own ideas. It was Mr. Wut- tunee who appointed Miss Horn Indian Princess Canada at the 1963 council conference in Win- nipeg, CHIEF BALKED But by last March, seven months after Miss Horn's ap- pointment as princess and as chairman of a committee to plan for Indian participation in the 1967 Montreal world's fair, | Mr. Wuttunee was trying to remove her on the ground that she was acting without consult- ing him, The minutes of a council ex- ecutive meeting Winnipeg March 28, attend by Miss Horn, notes that there was "considerable debate whether or not Chief Wuttunee had the right to release Miss Horn of her duties" and adds, without detail; that "heated arguments and accusations were flung back and forth." The executive voted to con- firm Miss Horn in the world's fair job, but as chairman of a subcommittee under an_ en- larged "Over-a'l Committee" for the 1967 centennial of Con- federation headed by Wilfred Pelletier, a. Wuttunee ally who is executive director of the NIC, The executive also agreed that no white people should be on the committees a reference Liberal Maverick Blasts Pay Claim By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--'My mind is made up -- don't confuse me with facts." Ralph Cowan, sometimes ealled "the leader of the Lib- eral Opposition," has that ad- monition pasted to his desk in his office on Parliament Hill. . It is, of course, typical of its flaunter, a cynical understate- ment. For the outspoken Lib- eral MP from the Toronto sub- urban constituency, of York- Humber is an_ indefatigable toiler who digs out every fact on his pet subjects--which are many--and who thus is able to deliver some of the most pun- gent and damaging speeches in Parliament, entirely incapable of being contradicted. Ralph Cowan is'a maverick on our political scene, in that he speaks his mind when he con- . siders that the interests of his electors demand this; he does not hold his tongue because the shibboleths of partisan politics improperly rank the party above the voter. Thus heard him ridicule Libera policy in various fields; perennially he can be reli upon to tear aside the verba pretentions with which his lead- ers are now cloaking their woo- ing of Quebec and their cosset- ting of the CBC, REVENGE OF CRADLE On the subject of the federal government's practice of col- lecting taxes in Ontario and British Columbia and distribut- ing the proceeds in the other provinces, he blasted off some of the most convincing argu- ments eve to be concocted in his littered workroom on Par- liament Hill. The people of his constituency and the people of Ontario gen- erally, he insists, are willing to be taxed to benefit Canadians in the have-not provinces. But," he says, Quebec is not a have- not province. Hé produced fig- ures to show how phoney was the argument of Forestry. Min- ister Maurice Sauve that On- ta io is.37 per cent wealthier than Quebec.

Chief Pine, 69, publicly announced his support for Miss Horn and agreed with her that the June 5 meeting stripping her of her NIC titles had been illegal. Miss Horn distributed her own agenda for the coming | meeting to the press. On the first day of the confers ence, Miss Horn launched her attack, trying unsuccessfully to change the order of business. She offered a substitute consti- tution, tried to present a 35-year plan for Indian self-help and, when balked, denounced the meeting for wasting time on "frivolities" and the leaders as traitors, liars, hypocrites and, "the worst insult I can think of," non-Indians. Opinion shifted against Miss Horn, her ideas were-discarded in a mood of hostility toward her methods and she wat soundly defeated in the election of officers. But Mr. Wuttunee, too, was discredited in the eyes of some delegates as being at least half- way responsible for the public dustup. His abortive attempt to move the conference into Sault Ste. Marie after Chief Pine had blocked his effort to remove Miss Horn from the meeting also was resented, Credit Statements . Very Touchy By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Watching our se- lect committee on consumer credit in action is a bit like listening in on a husband and wife discussing the month'y bills and trying to avoid a fight. The biggest po'nt at issue be- fore the committee is that all credit statements in Ontario should state the credit charges in terms of an annual interest rate. ° Underneath everyone knows that the point in this -- or at least the hope--is that it would tend to keep down interest rates. If all rates -- including the rate you pay on your car, or your mortgage, or your depart- ment store account--were stated _ in the same terms, this would tend not only to keep sharks out of the credit field, but {t would make for more open competition and resulting pres- sure on high rates. HANDS OFF But nobody directly mentions 1s, So far as members of the committee are concerned they know they can't publicly say this is a concern of theirs. Interest rates are not a' re- sponsibility of provincial gov- ernment. They belong in the federal field. So they skirt around the ques- tion without getting into it. And those on the credit side of the field don't even recog- nie it. They put up as: the big objec- tion to a uniform standard of stating rates that it would make bookkeeping impossible, ' Issue And they say. further that it would tend to drive credit "un- derground," That is marginal merchants would quote low rates and put the difference on the sales price. But they don't discuss the impact on the public. The closest they have come was for merchants to admit, in reply to a question from a member, that if the ahnual rate were used it might tend ta scare off some customers. NO FACTS A discussion such as this, of course, is not too satisfactory. It really doesn't get into ques- tions. Thus, when the Retail Council of Canada was before the com- mittee, it claimed department stores and other merchants didn't make a profit on their credit operations. The aim, it said, was just to break even, but in most- cases there probably was 'a slight loss. tomer subsidized the man who bought on credit. But it- seemed so reluctant to give any supporting facts, in fact any real meat at all--it did not say how rates were set, other than "by competition"'-- that members of the committee were quite sceptical of its state- ments.
