She Oshawa Times ublished by Canadian, Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Way Should Be Cleared For MP's Resignation. . The continued difficulties placed' fn the way of Erhart Regier in his attempt to give up his Commons seat now appear to be nothing more than a petty campaign of annoyance. There is no reason why Mr. Regier should _ not be given a little co-operation to clear the way for a by-election in his riding, Burnaby-Coquitlam, that will be contested by the leader of the New Democratic party, Mr. Douglas. : Sooner or later, Mr. Regier's resig- nation will become official -- and it could very well be official now, since his parliamentary pay has been stop- ped. And sooner or-later a by-election must be held to replace him. There is no reason why it should not be sooner than later. The first objection to Mr. Regier's notice of resignation was well- found- ed. Chief Electorals Officer Nelson Castonguay returned Mr. Regier's first letter with the proper sugges- tion that it be reconsidered in the light of certain legal requirements; fhe House of Commons Acts, for instance, requires that no MP may resign until expiration of the time limit for contesting his election on grounds other than bribery or-cor- ruption. Mr. Castonguay cited the Controverted Elections Act which sets two time limits -- 28 days after the . Canada Gazette announces a mem- ber's election and 14 days after the candidate or his agent files a state- ment of election expense. The time limits have expired and Mr. Regier' has fulfilled the require- ments of electoral law. He has sub- mitted a second letter of resignation. Now Mr. Castonguay is on vacation and other officials in Ottawa are in a dither. Prime Minister Diefenbaker did not help to 'clarify the situation when he wondered if Commons mem- ber could resign his seat before taking the oath to permit him to sit in the Commons, Parliamentary rules say that he must be a member before he can be sworn in, which would give him the right to resign before taking the oath. It looks more and more as if Mr. Regier is being pushed around, and it's not an edifying sight. Worst Weekend Begins Tonight and tomorrow morning tens of thousands of Ontario motor- ists will be hurrying in high-powered vehicles towards holiday destinations, and those who survive the outward rush will be hurrying back to their homes late Monday. Th' National Safety Council has estimated that across Canada 55 of the weekend travellers will not be alive-by Tues- day morning; they will be victims of highway 'accidents. The Safety Coun- cil's estimate may be conservative; it is below the average of 62 traffic deaths recorded during the Labor Day weekends for the past few years. Trackers Of The Brazilian Embassy in Ottawa this week issued a statement on the case of the boy who brought small- 'pox from Brazil to Canada. It said the embassy had refrained from com- menting on the case "in order not to enlarge the area of controversy while there was a justified public concern over the possibility of a smallpox epidemic." But the threat now. ap- peared over, and the embassy wished to point out that the vaccination cer- tificates issued in Brazil to the boy's family were "not of the model adopted by the World Health Organization," 'and therefore should have been re- jected by "the air-carrier and-or the sanitary authorities--at the cities of destination." The statement was issued "for the sole purpose of en- lightening public opinion and preser- ving the reputation. of the Brazilian sanitary authorities, especially those who are authorized to issue small- pox certificates foyeuse in interna- tional. travelling." Brazil's concern is understandable. The World Health Organization has set up standards and rules, and mem- ber nations do not like to be accused of endangering international health by. breaking the rules. When the smallpox case was reported in Tor- onto, the news was flashed imme- diately to the WHO headquarters in Geneva.

Ontario Transport Minister Rown- tree added his voice this week to the pleas to drivers to follow the rules of the road this weekend. He said: "The Labor Day weekend has con- sistently been the holiday of the sum- mer with the highest highway fatality rate.

WHO maintains a watchdog service that collects information on outbreaks and broadcasts it daily to health authorities, ports, airports and ships at sea. Before the advent of WHO, little uniformity existed in quarantine regulations. In 1952, WHO's member states adopted a uniform set of Inter- national Sanitary Regulations which give maximum protection against the spread of disease while avoiding un- due interference in land, sea and air traffic. But as the Toronto case demonstrated, these regulations can fail in their purpose if lax officials accept improper vaccination certifi- cates.

BIRD OTTAWA (CP) -- Canada's biggest outdoor fresh-water pool has never seen a bathing beauty or beach ball. The pool--covering an area large enough for 16 modern homes--is used only to ensure the. safety and manoeuvrability of naval and commercial ships built in: Canadian shipyards. Known as "the manoeuvring basin," it occupies an area of 80,000 square feet and forms an important part of the ship lab- oratory of the National Re- search Council. It measures 400 feet by 200 and overlooks the Ottawa River at NRC's site on the capital's northeastern out- skirts.

MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I had a blackout the other day and wrecked the family car. Noth- ing like it has ever happened to me before. What could have caused it? - I am 50 and have been told by older women that the change of dife is working on me, and I shouldn't be alarmed over a blackout. Do you advise me never to drive again?--MRS. D. P."H. Let's not listen to what the old girls say about menopause (or change of life). Too many things are readily attributed to this perfectly natural event. Blackouts are not caused by change of life, and they are not something to be ignored. I do not "advise you never to drive again." Neither do I ad- vise that you should drive-- Suppose another blackout oc- curred? What I do, most emphatically, advise is that you have a thor- ough physical examination. There are various causes of blackouts. N could be a seizure involying some part of the brain. It could be some faulty rhythm of the heart. It could be a deficiency of circutation to the brain. A sudden twist of the neck can cause it. With these various possibili- ties to consider, you see why it is quite impossible for me to say that you should or shouldn't drive again. REPORT FROM U.K. Farmers Break Up (Military'Exercise By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) . Correspondent For The Oshawa Times DARTMOUTH -- A large scale military exercise, being carried out by army detach- ments over a considerable area of Dartmoor, was broken off a day ahead of schedule because of the complaints and protests of the farmers of the district. The exercise involved the use of airplanes and_ helicopters. The farmers complained that low flying and excessive noise made by these aircraft was frightening their livestock, mainly cattle and sheep. In one case, it was reported a cow had aborted as a result of shock. A military spokesman denied that there was any excessive noise because of low-flying air- craft. The pilots, he said, had adhered strictly to the orders given them at their-briefing not to fly below 500 feet except for dropping and picking up. PILOTS' DENIAL Pilots of the aircraft also denied that there had been any unnecessary low flying. They Said that sometimes they were flying at a height of about 1,000 feet. The operational area for the exercises was a wide part of the western side of Dartmoor. Dropping areas for the heli- copters were around Merrivale, Willsworthy, and Okehampton. Plaster Down represented an aircraft carrier from which the attack was launched, with de- fending troops occupying the surrounding country. According to the military spokesman, it was going very well and providing a valuable exercise for the troops. Then came the complaints from the farmers, -who wefe 'so, vehe- ment that the whole exercise was called off abruptly. The involved three squadrons of Commandos and six helicopters from the Royal Naval Air. Station at Culdrose, Cornwall. FABMERS' SIDE Thomas Brown, of Tavistock, secretary of the Dartmoor Commoners Association, said that complaints concerning mili- tary aircraft flying at low 'evels outside of the area on Dart- moor prescribed for training, had been going on for some time. He added that the farm- ers on the object to the operations going on within the recognized mili- tary training areas, on which common did not: the moor was cleared of live-. stock, But there had been a great deal of noisy flying outside these areas. He cited particu- larly around Plaster Down, where parties of troops had been dropped from aircraft and picked up again by the heli- copters. LOSS TO FARMER On the opening day of the exercise, Mr. Brown stated, res: idents and commoners at Samp- ford Common had lodged a strong complaint. One farmer had lost a South Devon cow due to abortion. and claimed this was due to the-animal be- ing frightened by the noise $f the aircraft. This meant the loss not only of the animal, but also its $30 calf subsidy and all the cow's winter milk. _ This, he said, was avery serious thing for some small hill farmers, and they were feel- ing highly irate about it. Peace was restored, however, when the military commandggs decid- ed that discretion wa' the bet- ter part of valor, and withdrew their troops and aircraft. Your doctor, however, can answer this question after de- termining why you blacked out. If it is something that can be corrected -- and sometimes it can--he may eventually pro- nounce you physically fit. If it can't be corrected, and a black- out may occur again, he can tell you so, and you should give up driving permanently. Investigation of accidents shows increasingly that this sort of thing is an important cause, not just speed and carelessness. So off you go to your doctor before touching the wheel again! : Dear Dr. Molner: What about a nine-year-old girl who posi- tively does not want to go to sleep unless she has someone to sit beside her bed?--H. R, P. I cut out a lot of detail, be- cause the important part of this letter is in one sentence. The answer is brief, too: You've spoiled her in this regard. It will take some quiet but firm activity on your part to break her habit of being pampered too much. Dear Dr. Molner: What is pernicious anemia? Is it cur- able? Is it hard to detect? What causes it?--SUSIE It's a lack of certain chemical factors which are necessary, for the formation of red blood cells, but the cause is not known. It can be difficult to detect. There is always an absence of acid in the stomach, but be- cause so many people are tak- ing mixed vitamon capsules, it is possible for some of them to get enough Vitamin B12 to dis- guise the situation to some ex- tent. Vitamin B12, you see, turned out to contain the missing ele- ments needed--before that, per- nicious anemia always required large doses of liver or liver ex- tract. . In these doubtful cases, spe- cial tests such as the use of radioactive B12 helps identify the disease. The amount of B12 that peo- ple get in vitamin caps i never enough to treat For treatment /periodic use. of Vitamin B12 injection keeps the body's chemistry in correct balance, and normal blood forms. : Untreated, pernicious anemia can cause great lassitude and crippling nerve damage. We don't speak of "curing" it be- 'cause we can't, but with the correct injections it can be kept under control for a lifetime.

F The huge basin has been used to test models of other types, including vessels for the Royal Canadian Navy and the Pacific weather ships being designed for the department of transport. Besides the regular tests, ex- periments were conducted with the weather ship model 'on a steering innovation to enable these vessels to keep steerage way at slow speeds. The 404-foot ships will be equipped with jets at the bow to port and starboard. If the rud- der and propellers cannot keep the bow steady, strong streams -Polish-born engineer of water can be pumped through either jet to provide control.- Jerzy Straszak, 40 - year - a e laboratory, said the tests enable the council to predict with ac- curacy the performante of a particular vessel. When the ship is delivered to the owners by the builder they know pretty well just how it will perform under all weather conditions. "Often when we discover that a design has faults, we can sug- gest modifications to such things as the shape of the hull, the size and location of the rud- der, the size and shape of the propellers or the outline of the stern," Mr. Straszak said. . : "We try to improve the design of a ship if this is practicable.

Groundwork Being Laid - For Arctic Navigation By RUSSELL ELMAN OTTAWA ({P)--The location: Canada's Arctic. The time: the perhaps not-so-distant future. An, atomic - powered sub- marine glides beneath the frozen surface of the Arctic Ocean to an underground har- bor. : The port, burrowed deep in the perma-frost, is alive with activity as underwater tankers OTTAWA REPORT : Leaters Must Above Suspicion By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- In the faraway days when the Caesars ruled the Roman Empire, it was said that Caesar's wife must be not only pure, but above suspicion. So today it is widely and properly felt that a cabinet min- ister must be like Caesar's wife --at least in matters which af- fect the taxpayers' money. It is an unflattering sidelight upon the quality of patriotic selflessness displayed by our big business tycoons and czars of industry that we very seldom hear talk about a cabinet min- ister's "conflict of. interests". But the recent appointment of Senator Wally McCutcheon to federal cabinet has now aroused such talk. ° In private life, Mr. McCut- cheon was privately considered to be one of the "four horse- men" who really made Cana- dian industry tick. As a person of such prominence, he inevit- ably held directorships of many important companies; so too did he inevitably own stock inter- ests in such business qundertak- ings. r CONFLICT OF INTERETS But the day Mr. McCutcheon, businessman, became Hon. Wal- ter McCutcheon, cabinet minis- ter, there immediaely arose the possibility that he would have to take part in government de- cisions which might affect one or other of his business inter- ests adversely or favorably. This is the possibility of "con- flict of interests" which faces every industrial tycoon entering Politics. The Right Hon. H. H. Asquith, a former prime minister of Brit- ain set 'out certain"rules of ob- ligation" covering this situation in Britain; in general, they have been accepted as valid for C-n- . ada too. More than half .¢ 1 tury ago, Mr. Asquith se "The first and the most obv: $ Tule is that ministers ought t to enter into any transaci 1 whereby their private pecun': 'y interests migtit, even conc' v- ably, come into conflict w ih their public duty.'"' Other rues outline a minister's obligation to refrain from using official infor- mation for his own private pro- fit or for that of his friends; and his obligation to refuse any kind - of favor from persons holding or seeking government con- tracts. Then followed the "rules of prudence", which_might be described ag. the Foagsas wife" admonition--not only to be right, but to be above sus- picion of unrighteousness. PRUDENT MINISTER Inline with these obligations . and this prudence, Mr. McCut- cheon followed the accepted course of resigning from all his directorships.

Should a minister also sell his shareholdings in business? That is a more difficult question. If, in his official capacity, he has dealings with those companies --yes. If, in his official capa- city, he makes decisions which might affect those companies or their competitive trading posi- tion--yes. The former Liberal govern- ment repeatedly came under heavy criticism, especially from the then CCF member from Winnipeg North Centre, Stanley Knowles, on the charge that certain ministers infringed the rules of obligation, The kind of question in Mr. Knowles' mind, and in the mind of many others in and out of Parliament, concerned the fact that certain ministers seemed to have acquired inexplicable or abnormal wealth. Mr. Macken. zie King himself, for example, the child of unwealthy parents, left a fortune approximating to every nickel he had drawn from the public treasury through the years as MP and minister. The most vivid resentment of Mr. Knowles' queries was shown by Mr. C. D. Howe, who died an extremely wealthy man. On Parliament's last day, his last remarks before his defeat con- cerned this topic and himself. One was a terse "'Nuts!"' (Han- sard, page 3503); then he pro- tested: 'Why should I answer?" To which Mr. Knowles replied: "Because I happen to be a member of Parliament." By which Mr. Knowles in. ferred: "On behalf of all Cana- dians, I seek to know if you are like Caesar's wife."

The findings are also expected to be of military significance. The Baffin, the hydro; hie fleet's largest shin and Cer] 'hand in arctic sailing, will head from Eastern Canada up the Labrador coast to work in the Parry Channel, the histori« route to the Northwest Pag- sage. These waters are frozen throughout the year except for a brief period in August and September. At the other side of the con- tinent afféther vessel, the Rich- ardson, will set out from. Vic- toria for a difficult 3,000-mile journey into the western arctic through the hazardous Bering Strait separating Alaska and Siberia. i The- 60-foot ship; ded | hydrographer T. D. McCull of Victoria, will be based for the next four years at Tuk- toyaktuk--a DEW radar line line post near the Mackenzie River delta. One of the Rich- ardson's assignments will be to scout possible harbors: in the Beaufort Sea where supplies could be landed and pipelines built should oil be found in the sedimentary basin of the North- west Territories mainland and Banks Island. The Sir John A.

Over the years Ontario Hydro has had fine engineers. There are none better in the world, it is' said. Hydro also has had to have people to run what the engi- neers put up. tit. And over the years what a fine bunch it has had here. None worse in the world you could say. ¥ Only people ever who could, not only put their feet in their mouths but also bite them off. And they have just taken an- other chew at the stump. We are in days of austerity. Particularly we need to save dollars. ' So, what does Hydro do? It decides it should have its own television show--which in itslf might cause one to ask why did the chicken cross the road? : But the show it bought is something called Biographies. and, it proudly claims in its an- nouncement, it is narrated by the well-known American Mike Wallace: h The show may or may not have been produced in the U.S., that we don't know.

In this same speech Mr. Win- termeyer 'challenges the other parties "to put an end to the double-talk in politics". ° He asks for "full and frank Public debate'. ' These are wonderful sent. ments with which the public--if not the politicians--will agree. Particularly the call for frank- ness. This is a dream, we know.
