Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Trouble-Makers Must Be Effectively Curbed It is unfortunate that, because of the drinking and trouble-making of what we believe is a small group of irresponsible young people, the director of the Oshawa Recreation Centre on Gibb street has found it necessary to close down its Friday night club. We say that this is a matter for regret because we be- . lieve, with Mr. Wendell Brewster, that the young people who have at- tended these dances constitute a group which, for their own good and the good of the city, needs to be helped into wholesome fields of recreation. This is. what Mr. Brewster and his associates have been trying to do, in their Friday night club. It is therefore our hope that the closing of this club will not be permanent, but that every effort will be made to deal with the young rowdies who have brought about the present decision. The Social Planning Council sub- committee which is a co-ordinating body for welfare activies of all kinds, does not face an easy task in drawing up a set of rules which will make possible the re-opening of this '¢lub, and its operation on an ae- ceptable basis. It is one thing to in- clude in the rules a prohibition of drinking in the club. It is a much more difficult matter to enforce @ rule of that kind, unless police supervision is to be invoked. And it is even more difficult to deal with those who have been drinking before going to the club, in some cases with the deliberate intention of creating trouble. We do not believe that this trouble-making group is large in numbers, but it can become aggres- sively offensive. Introduction of a system of self-discipline on the part of those co-operating in carrying on these dances might be accentuated and made more effective. And powers of refusing admission to persons who have obviously been drinking could well be enforced by those in authority. There are, as Mr. Brewster points out, young people who need and are helped by this type of recreational activity. It would 'be regrettable if they . should be deprived of it because of the actions of what we believe to be a troublesome minority. Doctors And Medicare Dean John F. McCreary, of the University of British Columbia, has made a statement that five per cent of Canada's doctors will leave the country if a national medical insur- ance plan in instituted. Coupled with that statement, there are reports from medical schools all over Can- ada that they are turning away hundreds of prospective medical students because of the lack of facilities for the education and training of doctors, And since there is already a shortage of doctors in Canada, the future outlook, in the event of a national insurance acheme being put into effect, is not at all bright. One should not take too seriously the suggestion that there would be a flight of doctors from Canada under a national health scheme. British experience has shown that many doctors have left the country, but the chief factors has not been the fact that Britain has a complete medical health scheme. Large num- bers of doctors, imbued with a high sense of public service, have gone to the under-developed countries of the world to raise their standards of health. And it is significant that many of the British doctors who have come to Canada in recent years have gone to the province of Saskatchewan, where they operate under the provincial health scheme. With so many countries of the world having comprehensive na- tional medical care plans, one won- ders just where doctors would go to escape from the supposed regimen- tation of medicare. They might go to the United States, but it seems likely that there will be a national health plan there in the foresee- able future. The shortage of places in unver- sities for the training of doctors is a much more serious matter, and one which can only be remedied by substantial government aid . The federal government must devise some means, acceptable to all the provinces, which would provide that aid. Immigration U.K. Issue control.of immigration into Britain. While the 1962 Immigration Act is aplicable' to all Commonwealth Both of the major parties in the British general election have been anxious to keep immigration and racial questions out of the election campaign. But it has been too hot a potato to be ignored in this way. The Labor partly tried to divorce the issue from British politics by countries, including Canada, its primary purpose, only thinly dis- guised, being to curb the flow of Asian, African, and West Indian immigrants from Commonwealth countries. Airs LET ME HELP YOU TIE IT QUEEN'S PARK Leadership Fight Was Major News Event By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- One of the re- markable side-lights of the re- cent Liberal convention was the exceptional coverage it got in the press and other news me- dia. From the time the convention was first definitely decided on, last May, it received continuous prominence in the press, par- ticularly here in Toronto. From the start it received more coverage than did the PC leadership two years ago. And yet it was relatively less important. The PC convention, in effect, was electing a new premier for the province. And its candidates probably were of a higher standard, and cer- tainly more newsworthy. MUST. WRITE There's a lesson for anyone interested in press relations in how this happened. Probably the most important factor was a mechanical one concerning the structure of the press itself. It happens that the press gal- lery at Queen's Park has never had so many bodies as it has at the present time. The Toronto daily newspapers have the largest bureaus in their history. And there also are a number of radio and tele- vision reporters. These people, being there, must write about some-thing, of course. And it happened that the convention came along at @ low news period. Anything that happened, or that. anybody said, became READERS' VIEWS newsworthy. And, in this news business when you start writing about something, and partic- ularly when the other men write about something, it be- comes important. The Liberal convention be- came important at an early stage and from there it built up. As one indication of the peak it reached, never have the Tor- onto papers given the space to another convention that they did to it, And, at no convention have there been anything like the number of registered press people there were at this one. There were other contribut- ing factors, of course. One was the presence in the race of Charles Templeton, a colorful and energetic person, and also a newspaperman. Then there was the type of campaign conducted with the candidates touring the province as though they were fighting a general election. And there were the profes- sional organizations of most of the candidates, following the U.S. approach and spending money in Madison Avenue style. In some ways this over-all situation may seem regrettable. There was a certain shallow- ness and immaturity about it. But also it was good, for it set a pattern which will be followed in the future. From now on our leadership contests will be major news events in Ontario. And, ag this will breed more interest in them and in politics, it is worthwhile. Some Further Comment On Hospital The Editor, Oshawa Times, Sir: May I submit this letter, _|____suggesting that control of immigra- tion into Britain be imposed volun- tarily by the country of origin of prospective immigrants. Obviously, as Prime Minister Douglas-Home immediately pointed out, such a plans would be com- pletely - unworkable, and would negative all the intentions of the 1962 Immigration Act. He has The act has very largely achieved -- its objective. It has not halted en- tirely the flow of colored imnee- grants into Britain, but it has re- duced the numbers drastically be- low the 180,000 a year coming into the country in the years immedia- tely prior to the passing of the act. Now only those who have definite therefore countered the Labor SUB, pledges of employment and a work gestion with a pledge that a Con- servative government would stand by that act, and would retain strict She Oshawa Times T.

The other evening I sat At a dinner table with A group of people who Had lived and worked In the city of Oshawa For long periods, and It was interesting to Note how inevitably our Conversation turned to Things and people with Which we were familiar Many long years ago. It seamed as if we were Living all over again The incidents and events Which were important in The days when Oshawa's Population was well under -- The 25,000 mark, and When it was a community In which it was easier To know everyone than It has come to be now, We found it was quite Exhilarating as each Member of the group Recalled something which Happened 30 or more years Ago, and which had made so Deep an impression on his Mind that even the smallest Details still seemed clear.

It B an easy matter to treat lightly the pain or discomfort of someone else, What happened to compas- sion and state efficiency? Now we come to Mr. Holland's closing comment, first "we have no interns or doctors on staff (night and day) for Emer- gency", and "now we have cramped quanters", Supposing we spend additional lange sums of money, enlarge the quarters, supply what is necessary, what purpose can it serve, when we have no interns or doctors in the Emergency Department of Oshawa General Hospital, to al- leviate the pain and distress of patients, immediately. Mr. Holland also states that more than 30,000 patients will be treated this year, this is com- mendable, However, he neglects to say how long it will take to treat them, or what they will endure while waiting for some- one to decide what doctor to call, and then waiting to see if the doctor minds having re- coived a request-to attend a pa- tient Thank you, Editor, for the freedom to express our opinion in the press MISS L.

McINTYRE HOOD KM is in keeping with the trend of modern times that the old gives places to the new, that in all spheres of life there are things which have outlived their usefulness, and have to be discarded to make way for their successors. That thought opening Court House and Administration Offices for the County of On- tario by Premier John Robarts Ontario this week. This was indeed a case of the old giving place to the new. For over 100 years the old courthouse and county building in Whitby has served the needs 'of Ontario County and the City of Oshawa. It is a fine old building, with architecture typi- cal of the mid-Victorian period in which it was built. In fact, one feels that the citizens who were responsible for its con- struction in the early 1850's must have had vision far ahead of their time in erecting so large and spacious a structure, taking into consideration the needs of their own day and age. That they built well, is evi- denced from the fact that for over a century it continued to serve the functions for which it was created. It is only in re- cent years, owing to the rapid growth of population in the area it served, that its inade- quacy began to be felt very acutely. GRASS ROOTS DEMAND Judge Alex C. Hall, who more than anyone else is considered to be responsible for the build- ing of the new court house and county building, has a different view to express as to any credit that might be given to him. In his opinion, as he expressed it to me the other evening, the demand for a new building to house the facilities for the ad- ministration of justice, eman- ated from the "grass roots" levels of the citizenship of the -county and city. It has always been one of the functions of the grand juries empanelled for the county courts to make an inspection of the county buildings and in- stitutions.

Rev. F. J. Maxwell anda party of 30 Oshawa tourists re- turned from Europe where Mr. Maxwell had conducted a tour through the British Isles. The new Manchester - Port Perry Highway was opened by Hon. George S, Henry, minister of highways. 0. R. Burns, local station agent of the CPR, was pro- moted to a similar post in Lon- called attention to the inade- quacies of the court house, and suggested that it should again call these to the attention of the county council. IMMEDIATE ACTION This grand jury did so, and vision for a new court house. It said, as has already been re- ported in this newspaper: "There is insufficient accom- modation for various depart- ments to fulfil their functions. The sheriff's and crown attor- ney's offices are entirely un- related to present day needs and design." This report touched at the orux of the situation. What was ample and commodious for the needs of the 180s had proved to be far short of meeting the needs of the 1960s. This report, although belated- ly, brought immediate action. The first talks between the On- tario County Council and the City of Oshawa were initiated in the same week as. tihiis «re- port was made. And the result was made strikingly apparent this week when the splendid new court house and couny ad- ministration building was open- ed on its new location at the intersection of Rossland road and Highway No. 12. So Judge Hail is striking the right note when he suggested YOUR HEALTH that the new court house ¢ as a result*of the opinions: ing from the 'grass roots' But whatever found for it, today, deserted, it stitl stands as mute memorial to, the' fo i spirit sponsible for the creation of ¢ fine new building opened ¢ week, Types Of Anaemia Can Be Different By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD. Dear Dr. Molner: I went to donate blood and the bank wouldn't take it, They told me I was anemic and to go home and-take-a-tonic. What causes this and what should I do abou' it?--D. S. : I hope the next anemic per- son who visits a blood bank will be advised to see his doctor. Anemia means either that the normal number of red blood cells are not present or that there is something wrong with the cells. There are many kinds of ane- mia, and just as many causes, and no single form of treatment or "tonic" will fit all of them. You can't get anywhere by guesswork, But with certain blood tests your doctor can readily tell a great deal about which type of anemia is pres- ent, and what to do about it. One is just from loss of blood -- a bleeding ulcer, hemorr- hoids, excessive menstruation. Sometimes the patient does not even know it. Anyway, red cells may be lost faster than the body can pro- vide new ones. The result? Ane- mia. Or faulty nutrition may be and often is the cause. The red cells contain hemoglobin (to carry fresh oxygen) and iron is vital for the creation of hemo- globin, So iron may be given in one form or another. (That's the "tonic" mentioned to you.) Yet there may be iron enough, but a lack of some- thing else: Adequate protein, or PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "There is more ignorance to- Any th HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct, 2, 1964... aee Much of the northern Ca- nadian land mass was formed into districts 6% years ago today--in 1895-- and Mackenzie, Yukon, Un- gava and Franklin were placed under the control of a Regina-based government. 1871 Mormon leader Brigham Young was ar- rested for polygamy in Salt Lake City, Utah. 1949 -- The Soviet Union recognized the new Chinese Communist government.
