RCPITAL SWEEPSTAKES Now that: Ontario has Mediae
and the deMaS demandfor hospital beds Pee up and up,and not :One
because the whale philosophy of the general practitioner has
radically changed,; Many ask why °not. an Ontario Hospital Sweep?
After. an w!th .,so many 'Tether government promoted games o
chance, why not cut in the hospitals?
It has always been believed tat the IrIsh had found the solution
to •maintaining their. hospitals by means, .of their SWOOP, in
fart three,,Ot them a year, With tickets sold to 146 countries.
.The' cSay •` the tickets forr. Canada used to be wa3tbilledas'tafble,
WOW,. But why stop at hospitals? Why not finance.; the whole
mnlario budget out Of sweeps? Why tax the poor Ontarian,, when_
the natlena of the world will fall over one another for the 'cuuance'?
The rough accounts for one Irish sweep have just cone to
light and it transpires that about $45 million are taken in annually
on, , three, 'races. The figures • for the Irish Derby of 1967 are
below:
Proceeds from tickets sold $14.1;. mi111iur
'Less. sellers, commissions $213,000
Balance $13.8 .million
$3.6 million
The Irish -hospitals received
Less 25% stamp duty*. ,
Net Hospital receipts
The Prize Funamounted to
The private' operators changed
$900,000
$2.6 million
$7.8 million
for expenses $2.7 million
So the •private operators get more than the hospitals and
since there are' only two. families in the deal, they now own
Waterford ' Glass, breed, train, and race horses and open a
mansion, known as -Cabinteely-, worth $3 million. Of course
$2.6 million is better than' a klap in the face with a wet fish --
only 18.4 percent of the 'take' and probably with our expensive
bureaucracy, Ontario hospitals would not do much better. How-
. ever the interesting thing is that the Irish Sweeps are mainly
a bonanza for two families.
WHAT'S IN A NAME? - There is a story that an Ontario
Township was. originally named LOBO: When the inhabitants
found out that this .meant 'wolf, they petitioned for a change'
of name. In those far off days, petitions were taken note of and
so the authorities offered them the name MONO. ft was some
time later that it was discovered that this meant 'hyena'. .

THE HIGH` COST OF EDUCATION - A correspondent writes:
"Mr. McNamara's two and half year course in strategy and
tactics probably was,,,the costliest training ever given to any.
one. The same might be said cif tiour own late Defence Minister,
w
who has been transplanted, hiswonders to perform, on Trans.
portation.
* * *
THE MOST EXPENSIVE SHOWER - When Alderman Ben Qrys
of the Toronto Council said he was opposed to the city providing
showers for the city's chauffeurs, at a cost of $975 per month,
he was greeted with ribald laughter. Why couldn't the men
shower at home like everyone else? When Grys pointed out that
the Board of Control had no showers either, a voice' said: "And
they _really need them." But Drys was a voice crying in the
wilderness of Spend and the chauffers will, get their showers.
Meanwhile we are not told whether Council will provide "Right
Guard" free, pending the construction of the said showers.
WHO PROFIT FROM PROFIT? - Did the Government, save
millions of women from back -breaking work by inventing the '
vacuum cleaner and washing machine? Or was it business men'
looking for profit? - '
Did Union leaders create modern lifesaving drugs, or was
'it business in search of.profit?
Is it government bureaucracy (the faceless ones) which creates
millions of jobs paying the highest wages?
Was it the Welfare State, or ,nen seeking to become million.
aires, who developed the automobile and the hundreds and
thousands of jobs which followed?
When Mr. Reuther, who attacks PROFIT, CAN EQUAL THIS
RECORD, IT WILL BE TIME TO LISTEN TO HIM, But nbt until!

MAHOMMAD AYUB KHAN - How fortunate Pakistan has been
/ -to find a leader, a President of such good sense and such essential
moderation.' There are plenty of men out for his blood; bigots,
for whom he is not sufficiently -Islamic and modernists for
whom' the. very idea of an Islamic State is repugnant. It is
easy to raise against him the cry of dictatorship, but he has
ended martial law, encouraged political parties to start again
and, above all, submitted himself to a nationwide, if indirect,
election in which he won two thirds of the votes. Essentially

BRAIN TUMOR
The comiuon belief thathead.
ache is a symptom of brain
i:,unaor Is only partially correct,
according tothe Ontario Medical
Association. It is only one sytnp.
tom, and not necessarily the
. first or the most important
one. Other symptoms often seen
are: vomiting, mental change,
weakness or seizures, and dis.
turbance of visipcton.
Whentteadache occurs, Amu
be,anywhere in the head, and is
"throbbing" ori°'"bursting"
character. It is generally most
severe when it occurs on waken.
ing from a night's sleep, and •
tends to lessen as the day pro.
gresses. Typically, it is made
worse by straining, ceughingor
stooping.
The other symptoms are
equally important. The vomiting
has no specific characteristics,
although like theheadache, it
tends • to • be worse in the morn.
ings. Sometimes • it Occurs
suddenly, without preceding
nausea.
The mental symptoms may be
slight. The initial signs are poor
memory, a lessening in- intel.
lectual ability and social adapta-
tion, later becoming progres.
sive apathy - a disregard of
what's going on,, This, in turn,
may lead to stupor and even
complete coma. •
Other common symptoms are
seizures or weakness in the arm
or leg. If witnessed accurately,
this can give a clue to the loca-
tion of the tumor.
The O.M.A. says the speed
with which these symptoms ap.
pear and get worse is often
a guide to the seriousness of the
tumor, Those producing rapid
changes in symptoms' tend to
be malignant, whereas those
producing slow changes tend to
be benign.
HYPERTENSION
In using the term "hyperten.
sion," the doctor usually refers
to the condition in which the
blood vessels of the"body show
increased'resistance' to the flow--
of
lowof blood. This, according to the
Ontario Medical Association, is
associated with an increase in
the blood pressures.
This is the "so-called essen.
tial hypertension, probably the
commonest form. Approxi.
