Wilson, Publisher WESDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1964--PAGE 6 Lack Of Press Freedom Detrimental The newly-emerged independent countries of Africa, given their in- dependence within the last few years, have much to learn in the ways of democratic government. Indeed, there are some which seem to think that they must be governed by dictatorships in order that the governments can be sure of putting their policies into effect. One lesson which they have to learn, if they wish in time to become free demo- cracies, is that the media of mass communication; -- the press, radio and television -- must be free from governmental control and censor- ship if they are to perform their functions as media of information and public enlightenment, which are essential to true democracy. The record of press control by government and of strict censor- ship, is a sad one. In Southern Rhodesia, the government has moved to ban the Salisbury Daily News. Nigeria's government has ready for parliament. a bill to pro- vide for press control. The Congo Republic has set up a commission to censor its press and radio. To Africa Official control and censorship are complete in Ghana and the Por- tuguese territories. Government ownership of news media is wide- spread in former French territories, with only semi-official news bulle- tins allowed to circulate. These are examples of how the processes of demoratic government are deliberately prevented from developing because of the heavy hand of dictatorial leaders whose greatest. fear is that their people may learn the truth about their activities, - The new African states have, for the most part, made an excellent start towards consolidating their governments since they secured their independence. But they have yet to learn the lesson that a free press, and freedom for all media of mass communication, are essential if there is to be progress towards government of the people, for the people, by the people. Only when that is assured, can these countries have democratic governments.which rule by the freely-expressed will of the people. Canada's Contribution Canadian scientists and doctors have made a sterling contribution to the extension of medical know- ledge in the backward countries of the world. Under the auspices of the World Health Organization, they have rendered great service in promoting medical practice and techniques in many countries in which there is still great ignorance of modern medicine. 'For; instance, one can site the splendid work done by Dr. Claude Vipond, of Oshawa, during his term of service in Malaysia. : Canada's latest contribution in this field of service to underdeve- loped countries is seen in the des- patch of a team of 24 Canadian scientists and doctors to the lonely Easter Island in the South Pacific. Headed by Surgeon Captain Richard Roberts and his wife, Dr. Maureen Roberts, this group will conduct medical examinations of the 1200 inhabitants of this isolated island community. According to Dr. Roberts, the Tariff Talks Ever since the late President Kennedy of the United States made known his proposals for tariff re- ductions which would increase the folw of trade between the nations of the world, these proposals, now familiarly. know as_ the "Kennedy Round" have been de- bated and discussed at various in- ternational assemblies. . Little pro- gress has been made_ towards realizing the worthy objectives of the late president of the United ------ States Now-former-Canadian-min= -- ister of trade and commerce, Hon. George Hees, says that not very much can be expected from the Kennedy Round of trade negotia- tions going on at Geneva. Speaking to the British Canadian Trade As- sociation in Montreal, Mr. Hees said: "Some tariff reductions by major trading nations may take place as a result of the Kennedy Round She Oshawa Times T.

As the present inhabitants all came from common ancestors they were much more likely to show traces of hereditary diseases. One of the tasks of the expedition will be to collect blood samples for study of natural antibodies. The blood will be placed in deep-freeze and brought back to Canada, The islanders are so rarely exposed to diseases com- mon to the outside world that they might have. natural antibodies dif- ferent from those of other people. , This shows. the importance of this Canadian expedition. Not only will it enable a thorough check to be made on the health of the people of Easter Island. It might well result in new discoveries which could make a valuable addition to medical knowledge for the benefit of the rest of the world. Canadians have reason to be proud of the selection of its doctors and scien- tists for this important project. Futility negotiations at Geneva. But from my experience in these matters, I would not expect very much." Mr. Hees' views would probably be echoed by many of those who have been charged with the respon- sibility of representing their count- tries in these negotiations to date. All of them must have felt. a deep sence of frustration at the lack of progress which has been made up to the present in bringing the late president's ideas into concrete form, progress has been made towards tariff reductions which might. in- crease the flow of trade through- out the world is that there is still to much economic nationalism, and the countries represented feel that there is still economic nationalism, and the countries represented feel that they must put their interests first in any moves towards opening up greater channels of trade. Mr. Hees put the situation very correctly when he said that when the trading nations confront each other in bargaining they are brough face to face with the facts that lowering tariffs in articles that are also made in their own country probably would mean a loss of jobs for their countrymen. That is the crux of the matter. Even the United States in which the Kennedy Round originated would hesitate to reduce its tariffs on goods produced in large - quan- tities in that country. Self-interest is the motivating factor in all these negotiations. It is difficult to see how that obstacle can be overcome until the trading nations realize that greater trade throughout the world would even- tually be of benefit to their own countries, 'The main-reason why little or no ~ exchanges 2 YOUR HEALTH Thrombo-Phlebitis Is Now Preventable BY JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD. Dear Dr. Molner: What about thrombophlebitis, as to cause (other than surgery or mater- nity) treatment, duration, and if both legs can be affected at the same time? Would an acute attack of ar- thritis with a temperature of 102 have any bearing on the condition? -- K. R. Thrombophlebitis is inflam- mation of the lining of a vein, an ailment which can be dis- abling and serious The principal causes are slug- gish circulation, injury to the vein, and (much less often) complications from some. ser- ious disease. I doubt that the arthritis would have had much to do with this attack. except that it perhaps restricted acti- vity of the legs. Varicose veins result in con- gestion, which is one of the common causes of thrombo- Phiebitis--and one reason why I encourage their removal. And, of course, veins with congested circulation will be much more vulnerable to an injury. Nine out of 10 cases of throm- bophlebitis can be prevented if proper steps are taken. A good many of them now ARE being prevented, With both surgery and maternity cases, early am- bulation has done a great deal of good. Get the patient up and moving as soon as possible, in- stead of keeping him or her ly- ing in bed while the circulation becomes more and more stag- nant. If a patient is confined to bed, leg motion is still to be en- couraged. Feet may be eleva- ted, and sometimes the legs are wrapped with elastic bandages, especially if varicose veins are present, For people on their feet, round garters or other READERS' VIEWS _. HOSPITAL CONDITIONS The Editor, The Oshawa Times, Dear Sir: After a brief stay- in the Oshawa General Hospital may I express a few thoughts concerning conditions -- there through the medium of your newspaper, Like the many thousands who have preceded me, I am filled with admiration for the unstint- ing efforts of the hospital staff, to restore the patient to health as rapidly and wih as little in- convenience as possible. Day after day these people go about _their work with such enthusiasm and good homor that they must be a very special breed. A spe- cial word of thanks should be said for those nurses who have come from far off places, such as the West Indies, to fill out the ever growing need for trained nursing staff. The people of. the Oshawa area are deeply indebt- ed to them. T am disturbed however to learn of the hours-of work and rates of pay which exist at the hospital. Does the public realize, I wonder, that in this area, in which high rates. of pay prevail, a male orderly is expected to carry out his heavy responsibil- ity, and is compensated at the rate of. $1.29 per hour, Little wonder that Mr. Holland should State that the Union and the Hospital Board have been in ne- gotiations since May and are still far apart. We are our brother's keeper, and this is very much a matter of public concern. We should all do well to investigate, and to make known our feelings. Yours truly, TOM EDWARDS 529 Euclid Street, ; Whitby, Ontario constriction above the knee must be avoided. "Duration of thrombophlebitis cannot be predicted exactly. Many cases langely clear up in a month or thereabouts, but in- variably some degree of swel- ling will remain in the legs, especially if the person is on the feet for any length of time. In severe cases, the time may be much longer. Treatment involves rest, yet still enough movement to en- courage circulation; anticoagu- lants ("blood thinners" to min- imize clotting); and anti --in- flammatory drugs. Phenylbuta- zone and certain enzyme prod- ucts also are effective. (All of these are highly specialized medications and must be or supervised by your doc- r. Thrombophiebitis of course can occur in both legs atronce, but. this would be rather a matter of coincidence, Dear Dr. Molner: Please ex- plain cholecystitis and choleli- thiasis. -- E. M. K. The first means infection in the gall bladder; the second that a gallstone (or stones) is present. The two quite usually go together, although either con- dition may be present sepa- rately, Dear Dr. Molner: Is a person born with catalepsy or does it develop later in life? What type woulc be most likely to have it? What if anything can be done? --L.&. Catalepsy is a condition in which a sufferer assumes some awkward and unusual position and maintains if, such as keep- ing an arm held out straight. In some cases, the individual may hold his whole body rigid for a long time. It is acquired, and probably is seen most often in cases of some mental disturbance, par- ticularly hysteria. It may also be an aftermath of some types of encephalitis (brain inflam- mation) or even in Parkinson's disease, although this is rare. Treatment depends on the un- derlying cause, naturally. If it it is mental, then psychiatric aid is required, BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO September 30, 1939 Mrs. H. Hazell of Westmount was one of the first women in the community to register with the local committee for volun- tary emergency duty. The Oshawa Welfare Board found that the 'expenditures for the city's 4,105 unemployed had been $28,739 more than budgeted for during the first eight months of the year. A number of single unemployed were enlisting for active war duty. The report of Inspector T. R. McEwen showed that the regi- stration of 3,507 pupils in the city's eight public schools had decreased by 168 below this time the previous year, Thomas Irwin Knox, chair- man of the Parks Board, and resident of Oshawa for over half_a_century, died suddenly, Major A. L. Tosland, MC, who had been associated with the Ontario Regiment (Tank) for several years, accepted' the post as second-in-command of the regiment. The Oshawa Ministerial Asso- ciation urged that Oshawa peo- ple get behind the Red Cross work, Bruce Bradley defyeated Lex Chisholm by one ina 36-hole match to retain the Oshawa golf title and the McLaughlin Trophy. Thirty of the 346 Oshawa vet- erans who registered for service under the conducted National Veterans Survey were doing guard duty at vital city points according to Capt. W. Lock, district adjutant.

CLERGYMAN'S SON As the son of a clergyman, the late Rev, T. H. P. Ander- son, it was natural that he should have taken a keen inter- est in church affairs. He served as president of the Young People's Societies of Simcoe Street United Church and the Bay of Quinte Conference, He was elected as commissioner to the General Council of the Unit- ed Church, In civic affairs, he achieved another presidency, that of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, which he headed for two years, PUBLIC SERVICE It is for his long. and valu- able service as a member of Oshawa's public bodies that Judge Anderson is best known in this city, In 1929 he was elected to the city's Board of Education, and a'ter six years on that body, he was its chair- man in 1935.

Recommends Hydro Commission Ban By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Ontario Hydro and local Hydro utilities throughout the province objec. ted to a recommendation of the select committee on municipal affairs which would give the kiss of death to local public utilities commissions, The committee recommended that the commissions be done away with and their functions be taken over by local councils or committees of councils, The Hydro people said "please, let's have none of this!" They argued that the local utilities needed as their elected heads men with the time and interest to get the specialized knowledge needed for a good administrative job. The -reasoning behind the committee's recommenda- tion would be that council, as the general elected representa- tive body of the municipality, should have final responsibility for all its affairs, And partic- ularly that it should be able to plan all of the spending which comes out of the community purse, HAS VALIDITY This is an argument which can have som 'ailtdity with boards of education, i They spend .uge sums of money which can wallop other community endeavors. But it is not nearly so strong with utility boards, : Utilities operate on their own revenues. And you oan See reasons why council should have a yoice in some of their decisions you can also seé wis- dom in having them as a body apart. No action was taken by the government on the committee's recommendation. And it would seem unlikely there will be, at least to the degree suggested. Some approach might be worked out whereby councils have a stronger voice. THOMPSON OPINION New Liberal leader Andrew Thompson thinks NDPers are Tories too. Before he left on a holiday the new Grit chief was asked how in his opinion Liberalism was different than the other 'political beliefs: The belief of the conserva- tive, Mr. Thompson said, was obvious from his name, He took the cautious approach and was very slow to change. And the NDPer also, he said, resisted change in that he was hidebound in his beliefs. Out on the left wing he was just as sure he was as was the conservative on the might wing.
