Section 9s Again

‘ The Toronto Globe (Liberal) quotes with ‘lPProvill lhflCillgary Herald’: advice to the Fed- ' ral Governmenlfito-"move carefully in dealing

vilh This prflpflsal to repeal Section 98 of the .~ riminal Code!’- “This section, introduced as a EfIDCBSUTC 0f protection against revolutionary agi- fiators ‘during the‘ Great \Var,"j says the Globe,‘ -:“ha.s beeniunder attackcver since from sympa- Lthizers with those whom it was intended to curb. {They protest that it interferes with “free speech," Ealthough citizens who have no desire to upset the

Igbout the restrictions. The point has been made mlso that the purpose of this section can be “chieved by another section of the Criminal égCode. and therefore it is unnecessary; the ob- Qvious reply to this being that if it does no good fl does no harm.” .

t The Globe concludes with the reflection: ._-‘_‘\\'hatever reasons may have been offered for repeal when there was some expectation of dis- armament and peace throughout the world, in- ‘eluding our own portion, it must be said that ‘they carry infinitely less weight today. If Europe blows up again Section 98 may be needed more than ever. Certainly it cannot be an offense to patriotic and law-abiding citizens. These are riot "the ones clamoring for its removal." .

I All this is very true; but why bring it up how? Isn't The Globe aware of the fact that Pre- piier MacKisrgile KING and his followers, whom f supported so staunchly in the federal election "_ ontest last year, made repeal of Section 98 a pital campaign issue? They were the p¢r5on5 .~f‘clarnoring for its removal” and denouncing Premier BENNETT asa combination of HITLER, MIHSOLINI and SfALiN because he insisted on retaining Section 98 on the statutes.

. This demagogic appeal to the lawless and unpatriotic elements of the country is part of the price which the Liberal party paid for its vic. ‘tory. The Globe will have to swallow this un\vel- come truth, and make the best of it. The time to have protested was when the issue was before the electors, It savours of arrant hypocrisy to fshed tears over it now.

The association's chief point of argument is that Britain is the most prosperous nation in the world today because of its great house-building programme, and “what Britain has done Canada can and must do.” It points olit that various governments are spend- ing $145,000,000 a year on the care of 1,000,000 jobless, and the governments-federal, provin- cial and municipal—are sinking further and fur- ther into debt at a rate of $6,ooo,ooo,ooo a year.

Although the cause o1’ cpllepcy has not. been found, the general rule for treating 1t has brought mllef to pctlents and families 1n the great majority of cases.

Although epilepsy proper 1s not

thoukht to bc tnherltcd, that nor- vous and emotional disturbances have been present 1n parents and grandparents of cplleptles has been definitely shown. However some physicians are of the oplnlon ‘that 1t 1s c aensltlvcn ,to foods and other substances handed down from parents to children that may be the cause of epilepsy 1n at least. a small number of eases. This 1a the oplnton of Dr. Jonathan Fbrmm 1n Arch- ives of Neurology and Psychiatry. _ Dr. Fbrman states that 1111s ty. of epilepsy can be told by three points: (1) a hlstory, either 1n the patient or his faintly, of hives. asthma or "head colds"; (2) an 1n- creased number of certain blood cells; (3) reactions to tests made on the skin by certain substances- food. hafr, pollen from plants. , Only ten cases of this type are reported by Dr. Fol-man but. 1t 1c interesting to see how the attacks of epilepsy stopped when the pct- 1nt avoldedtbe foods or other cub- stances to which he was sensitive. Thus one case was sensitive to choc- olate, eggs and cabbage and had no attacks when these were left out of his diet. Another was sensitive to potatoes, 11511 and mllk; another to wheat. rice, milk, eggs, peas and mustard; another to cabbage, toma- toes, and beans: anothe to corn- meal, mackerel, rlce, wheat, house- dust and goose feathers; another t0 dog dander, feathers, wheat, oats, and spinach; and another to beans, apples, peppermint, mackerel and milk. When these foods were avold- ed no attacks occurred. The treatment suggested 1n this type of case was to first avoid the substances causing the trouble, then to take tiny but increasing amounts until the body could handle those substances without an eplleptle st- tack occurring. Avoiding emotional disturbances is another part of the treatment.

It must. be remain‘ ’ that the number of eases of the above kind of epilepsy 1s not large, and lo the
