Clinton News-Record, 1966-06-09, Page 4I Page 4-^-rdi.nfron News-Record-—Thursday, June 9, 1966 I? "* ■ 1 ’ Editorials ...f / Uncertain Security ON THE heels of the tragedy in Ottawa there will be talk in many quarters of tightening the security pro vided for Members of Parliament. Whatever new measures are decided upon, we must still face up to the reali zation that there never has been, and never will be, a system of security which cannot be breached at some time. As Mr. Speaker Lamoureux put it: “Any place open to the public can never be entirely safe.” -z Some may argue that every visitor to Parliament be screened as a poten tial assassin. Ridiculous. Others may say the public galleries should be closed I ■Si to any who have not applied for and received cards of admittance, as in Britain.. But.who is to rule on who among us should not be entitled to ob serve $hg conduct of national business? Elven a closer scrutiny of visitors as they file in may mean next to nothings Who could single out from the hundreds the one who might be intent on a de ranged crusade, No western nation has ever .taken such extensive security precautions for its leaders as the United States. How far from infallible. even its approach oan be is a matter of historic and sad record. —The Montreal Star, Slow Down And Live 4 “SLOW.

We were sitting around bickering after churtch the other day. My daughter had a bad cold, and was generally owly. She didn’t think much of Gocl. “How can God let so many people in the world be starv ing?” she wanted1 to know. ■ Weil, it’s a fair, question. Her motlier and I tried to explain that it was not God’s doing, but man’s. We said it was man’s greed, insecurity and fear that made • us live like kings (far better than medieval longs, in fact), while hundreds of millions of people in the world, our bro thers, starved and died of ill ness unnecessarily. She wasn’t buying any. “It all sound's pretty foggy to * me,” she grumped. CI don’t think much of God, if that’s the way He runs things.” I asked her what she’d do about the situation. Like all kids, she didn’t know, except to repeat that it was all wrong. .Well, you can’t have a 15- - year-old sitting abound run ning down God; SO, like all -• fathers since the cave-days, I tried to come up with an an swer. .' First, I explained that the government did a great deal to help less fortunate coun tries, with our taxes. When she cornered me on details, I had to admit that.it was a drop in the bucket with a lot of strings' attached ('try that metaphor on for size). I fur ther admitted that govern-/ ment could, not do much more without creating a hue and cry among the taxpayers. In desperation, I looked around for someone else to blame. “The churches should take the lead, and start a nationwide campaign to help feed the hungry.” My wife reminded, me that we give a buck,- a week to missions. “Yes and all these piidldling church missions add up to a spit in the ocean/’ says I. “So what would you do, Mr. Smart Alex?” says she. “So I can probably think of something, Mrs. Wise Guy,” says I. and I did. The result is National Tighten- Your-Belt Week. It’s very simple. For 'one week a year, every Canadian family willing to help will live on a bare subsistence allowance. The difference be tween that and the normal cost of living goes into the pot. Every cent of this pot goes to buy food, clothing, contraceptive pills and other necessities for the vast, poor, downtrodden masses of the world. It’s this took (right I <•& would go broke if they lost a week’s business. Well, there’s no reason they could n’t tighten their belts, too, , for a week. AU the fruit and vegetables- and meat would rot. Not if the producers knew such a week was coming, and plan ned for it, The provincial government would collapse, if lit lost a week’s taxes on booze and beer. I doubt it.-A few miles of highway might not -be built, So what? Seriously, I think it would be fun. Many people would1 take part because it is some thing concrete, -rather than a vague thing like foreign aid or missions. And there’d be beneficial side effects. Slimmer waist lines. . A new slant on our good life. And I can guaran tee that, after three days of macoroni, the squirrels in our attic would never be a problem .again.

Reflecting the tremendous changes which have taken place in the electrical industry, helicopters and other mechanical equipment have replaced the pike poles, strong backs and derby-wearing foremen involved in line construction in .the early days of the century. Ontario Hydro now operates 68,000 miles of line— nearly enough to circle the earth three times. The 358 municipal electrical - utilities and Ontario Hydro serve 2,100,000 customers across the province. In six decades, power resources have increased from 7,400 kilowatts to more than 8,000,000.

He passed away .quietly and peacefully.” With a sob in his voice and a lump in his throat, this was the announcement which Joseph Pope, private secretary, made to the eager crowd in waiting outside the gates at Eamscliffe, on Saturday evening.

Not returning last night with the outfit, enquiries were made for the boys and they were li hard to believe that world-shaken concept seed and blossomed „ . there in our living room. But it dad. Swiftly we did some figuring. It was rough, but close enough. The average family spends from $20 to .$30 a week on food. One week a year we exist on $5 per family. It could be done, you know. Lots of rice, macaroni, por ridge, bread, home-made sbup. Water instead of cof fee, tea, milk, 'beer. The same week we walk everywhere and save $3 on gas. We tom off the furnace and learn what it’s like to be cold. We. dean our .teeth with salt. We avoid shaving and hair spray and deodorants and drugs and cigarets. We wear nylons with runs. We turn off the hydro, except for cooking, and use candles. The average family could -kick about $30 into the kitty. Take a town of 10,000 popu lation. Let’s say a minimum of 1,000 families. That’s $30,- 000. That will pay far a lot of wheat, penidllin, and birth-control pills. Multiply this modest token by all the families in Canada, and you could jack up India in about two years.

While there are several caus es of headache, a straightfor ward classification would be “sirrtple headaches” and “ser ious headaches". The vast ma jority are simple in nature but have undferlying physiological and psychological causes so complex they airej difficult to understand. On the other hand the serious headaches, usually simple to identify, result from organic disease of the brain such as tumours and blood clots, and require vigorous treatment. Migraine, the cause of which is unknown is classified among the simple headaches, it has its onset from early childhood to puberty, and there is a strong factor of heredity. Typically, the migraine head ache is preceded by visual sen sory disturbance^ such as flash ing lights in the eyes. It has a slow 'beginning, eventually teaching a, throbbing or pul sating ’ climax and is usually One-Sided —the .side affected sometimes varying froim one attack to another. The severe headache may last from hours ’to days, and th 50 percent bf Oases headache is accompanied by vomiting. The CMA points out that treatment is aimed at prevent ion of attacks, although sped- fic remedies to relieve the head ache are available. These rem edies mtist be tailor-made to the individual patient’s own requirements. Headache may be a difficult condition to diagnose, and if it is a continu ing problem the cause should be determined by a physician be fore any treatment is tried, brucSEd MRS. H. F.
