Wednesday electors of Barrie are asked to go to the polls The issue is moral nature and never before has ere been little or no campaigning by Ether side of the question The subject fore the voters is this do you or dont want liquor lounges and liquor priv eges with meals in this city To put it lainly cocktail lounges such as they ave in Toronto Hamilton London Gt tawa for instance And closer to home like at Penetang and Beeton The subject was brought up by the Barrie Junior Chamber of Commerce slid to give this active group of young nian due credit let us point out that tijey have adopted completely neutral vigwpoint As they did with Sunday rts they brought out the view that were neither for nor against it3was matter for the majority of voters Pressures Of 3280 too often we in North America think of the Russians in terms of mach iifes and missiles instead of in terms of people with problems that can be cur idusiy similar to our own We do lot of ailling about their progress in science app education for example while we fend to forget that for scientists there trust be laboratories for education there fist be schools Our forgetfulness is odd time when we are paying more and more taxes for the building of more and more schools firhe Soviet Unions postwar babyboom Msimllar to Canadas and poses similar problems The Milwaukee Journal re pékts that Soviet schools are crowded and appie are operating in double shifts For mal education for all but the most gifted stops even now at age 15 the result both of school conditions and labor needs The Journal goes on Within five years the population bulge will move into the labor market ing for Soviet industry which is short of workers But it will necessitate more to decide and with this end in view the Jaycees felt everyone with vote should exercise the franchise This is the com plete democratic opportunlt You can say Yes or No in private ta not like gictatorsbips where you can only vote es The Jaycees are keeping out of the is sue next Wednesday all they are trying to do is getouttbevote So too is this newspaper because we feel that the cit izens of our young cit have enough in telligence to express eir own views There is no concerted campaign of action by the wets to influence anyone And there is none by the drys We appre ciate and respect everyones opinion Without iving any pros or cons we go along wit the Jaycees and urge you to go to the polls next Wednesday and privately express your own opinion on the subject without fear or prejudice Population educational institutions and it will call for more living quarters food and cloth ing not to mention less essential items such as refrigerators furniture or cars According to the 1959 census there were 46 million persons in the 09 age group and 17

with 28 per cent in 1039 While the population bulge first ap peared in the 19505 it appears to be con tinuing The population now esti mated at 220 million is advancing at the rate of 35 million year

reconstructfthe tail light OTTAWA REPORT Buy Cdnadian Plan Found Paying OH By PATRICK NICHOLSON Finance Minister Donald Fleming has been lustily criti cized in economic circles be cause he has budgeted for deficit of $745000000 in the ac counts of our federal govern ment this year By strange coincidence this figure almost exactly matches the deficit of $734000000 in our foreign trade in 1956 the last full year of the former Liberal government There is close parallel in the size of these two deficits But there is very important difference between them which has surprisingly been over looked by our economists Yet to every Canadian def icit in our foreign trade repre sents positive disaster where as deficit in our federal gov ernment accounts is compara tively trivial matter In fact as Erhart Regier the financial critic of the CCFNDP in the House of Commons has said budget deficit in itself is not an evil thing YOUR JOB AT STAKE The important difference be tween these two deficits is this If our government overspends its revenue from taxes it must borrow to bridge the gap and that borrowing is almost en tirely done from Canadians But if our country overspends its revenue from exports by buy ing abroad more than we sell abroad that deficit must be bridged by importing foreign capital More simply we must sell to foreigners shares in our oil fields or mineral mines or in dustries to pay for that deficit Thus deficit in our budget is in effect merely postpone ment of tax collections But deficit in our foreign trade means thatwe are selling slice of our future earning power as nation It is like farmer selling off 50 acres to pay for holiday in California In the 95 years since confed eration we have had 71 annual budget deficits and only 24 an nual budget surpluses The to tal of those deficits exceeds the total of those surpluses and our governments have from time to time had to borrow money to bridge that gap Thus our gross national debt today amounts to 322000000000 This is equivalent to debt of $712 for every Canadian to day Tea years ago our national debt was $774 per head But only $512000000 or about per cent of our national debt is in the hands of foreigners and that is redeemable By another odd coincidence the total amount of foreign cop ital invested in Canada today is also about $22000000000 But most of that is in the form of shares in enterprises in Canada which we cannot normally rc deem Thus the earnings and control carried by those shares are permanently in the hadda of foreigners TRADE TO BE BALANCED When John Dielenbaker be came prime minister one of his first pu bl pronouncements concernedour foreign trade pic ture This must be corrected be indicated And in this he has been as good as his word For whareasvwe had deficit in for eign trade of $734000000 in 1956 last year we had surplus of $85000000 with our exports exceedingour imports in value for the first time in decade Our foreign trade imbalance has been corrected partly by increasing our exports and partly by fostering the manu facture in Canada of articlcs previously imported Both these steps of course create more iobsfor Canadians in Canada it has been computed that the switch in our trading position between 1956 and 1901 has cre ated approximately 205000 new jobs for Canadians Our economists in years past have bitterly and rightly con demned the growing foreign ownership of our industries It is surprising that among all their debate about the budget deficit they have not yet spotted the far more important fact that we have corrected that former deficit in our foreign trade The Buy Canadian policy is certainly paying off BIBLE THOUGHT Look unto me and be ye saved nil the ends of the earth for am God and

QUEENS PARK Finds Opposition Best For Long Time By DON OHEARN TORONTOIt has already been mentioned here that Pre mier Robarts personally did line job at the session This same compliment also should be paid to the opposition For it too was outstanding It was the best opposition we have had for long long time STILL GROWING The Liberal group still need to grow They are still gaining ex perience And as yet they dont have complete positive pro gram But nevertheless they are de veloping into aggressive pro gressive and effective critics Next year one would say will be their year But at this session they dem onstrated that when they do come into their own they will be formidable WINTERMEYER CONFIDENT Opposition Winter meyer who has had to grow along with the rest of his group this year had much more con fidence The January byelectlon victo ries gave him much more solid backing from his caucus And this showed He gave aolid criticism throughout the whole session And at the end he had much greater respect from all parties NEW POLICIES Probably more significant than anything however was the fact that the party showed that it isstarting to think That it is becoming positive rather than negative It introduced number of pro posaia and gave notice of oth ers And some of them showed both fresh thought as well as an appreciation of the problems of the daysuch as its bill for disclosure of terms on loans which the government agreed to study NDP SCOLDING The NDP also showed re freshing change of attitude as well as thought This year it got away from scolding This made marked differ ence The individual members of the party always have been likeable But youvfound yourself liking them as group Leader Don MacDonald even got into few scandals without sounding pious This was not only welcome it was much more effective The party also brought out new thought On taxing for instance it be gan to lay heavy stress on cap ital gains and similar features in the economy It gave much more promise than it had in recent years TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH Cold Sores Usually Caused By Virus By JOSEPH MOLNER MD Dear Dr Molnar Please ex plain placenta previa if labor begins can this be fatal to mother or childM0 Normally in pregnancy the placenta develops high on the wall of the utenis or womb The placenta of course is that joining tissue through which the fetus or babyvlnformatlon receives its nourishment from the mother The mothers blood stream carries rich blood to the placenta where it is tranr ferred to the umbilical mrd which in turn carries fresh nourishing blood to the fetus and on the return trip carries waste matter to be excreted through the mothers kidneys Natures evident purpose in placing the placenta high up is to keep it safe and out of the way sometimes about once in 800 births the placenta becomes attached at mudl lower point close to or even obstructing the canal through which the baby should normally be born in that location the placenta may be damaged or partiauy lorn loose The result Bleeding The danger to the mother is from loss of blood to the baby It is the risks that go with being premature The principal and indeed usu ally the only aign of this incar rcct location of the placenta and thats what placenta previn isis bleeding Sometimes it is slight s0metlmel it in sudden and heavy Either way this is one of the very important rea sons why any bleeding in preg nancy should be reported to the doctor at once Placenta provia as rule makes itself apparent in the last two or three months of pregnancy Prompt obstetrical care is mandatory Otherwise the den ger is extreme However with immediate skilled care mothers usually come through in good health and so often do the babies but it is frequently more dangerous to the child depend ing upon the degree of prema turity Caesarean section is usually the method of birth in any case it is serious com piication Placenta prele is rare in first pregnancies it is more much more liable to occur although we do not hIOWeryl in women who have had several children in close succession frequent question is whether placenta previa means that the mother is likely to en counter the some trouble again No this docs not often happen Fortunately our Dr Mulder lily father and out of family of five develop cold sores every cw weeks The rest of the family never have them Can you sug gest anything we could do Cold sores are usually virus infection which more commonly attacks certain individuals who happen to be susceptible Curi ously an ordinary smallpoxW vaccination very often puts an end to this trouble If you read about the recent smallpox out break in Europe you can sce that it pays to keep your small pox inoculations up to drich Dear Dr Molner What is the difference betan peptic ulcer and in duodenal ulcer MRS None peptic ulcer is one in the upper digestive tract in which pepsin and other diges tive juices are present This means briefly either in the stomach or in the duodenum which is the area directly below the stomach Duodenal ulcers are far more common and likewise somewhat less danger oua they are peptic ulcers REPORT FROM UK Will Be Inquiry Into Ballot Count By MILINTYRE HOOD Special Auden tEngland Correspondent for The Barrie Examiner LONDONAn unexpected al termaih to the scent byelec tion in Orpington Kent is de cision by Home Secretary 11 Butler to have

side lhe room while the count ing was going on Television viewers were able to see the votesfor the respective candi dates being piled up in bundles on their tables One complaint made in the House of Commons was thatthe television broadcast of the counting gave an entirely insc curate picture of how the elec tion was going In showing the tables with the counted bundles of votes it gave therimpressioa that the Tory and Liberal can didates were running neckand Canada At The Worlds Fair Presents Variety Of Exhibits SEATTLE CF Canadas official contributions to the Worlds Fair which opened April 21 cover fields from science and industry to the arts Unofficiaily Canadians are expected to help keep the turn stiles Clicking at the $100000000 exposition with authorities here

74acre Century 21 site Glen Banncrman com missionergeneral for Canada at the Seattle fair said purpose of the display is to emphasize the fact that Canadian scientific achievements have made signif icant contribution to the knowl edge of science and its practical uses throughout the world The display 12000 square feet in pavilion sur rounding the alzacre Coliseum which houses the theme exhibit of Century 21 It will contain among other things prototype of Canadas Black Brant rocket designed to explore space and the Canadian Topside Sounder satellite devel oped by Canadian scientists for

Orleans resortmidw wayloperator to install and operate the $2500000 gayway llterc neck whereas it must have been evident from the start of the count that the Liberal can didate was far ahead of the Conservative To understand the reason for the inquiry it should be pointed out that the system of ballot counting in British elections is entirely different from that used in Canada In Canada the counting is done in each indiv idual polling station and the figures for each poll announced separately Thus it is that one finds in Canadian elections progress reports showing for example that one candidate or another is leading by so many votes with 60 out of 150 polls reported That could not happen in Brit ish elections The system here is quite different As soon as the polls are closed the deputy returning officers rush their ballot boxes to centre hall where the counting is done Usu ally it is the town hall of the community There each box is checked in and one by one the boxes are opened and the ballots turned over for counting to large staff of tellers The votes for the candidates are separa ted and those in favor of each tied up in bundles of 100 These bundles are deposited on tables with separate table for each candidate and scrutineers keep count of the number of bundles on each table But no figures are available until the count is absolutely completed all the bundles counted and the odd votes added to give the candl dates total Ilhen the return ing officer or possibly the mayor of the community announces the final result These are the only figures announced during the whole process of the tabula tion of the vote SUBJECT OF INQUIRY The subject of the inquiry which is to be held is that of deciding to what extent press television and newsreei people should be allowed into the counting room while the ballots are being counted If they are to be admitted at all then there will probably be some restric tions on what can be shown on television and the extent to which these admitted are sworn to secrecy Incidentally in the general election of October 1959 televi aion cameras were in operation at the counts in 00 constituen cies and the public saw untele vision the actual counting being done After the protests made con cerning title television of the count at Orpiugton one result of the inquiry may be to curtail very considerably the attend ance of television and press representatives in the counting rooms NUTTY FLAVOR There are about 100 species of hazelnuts mostly found in the north temperate regionL
