UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Gaitskell Still Hankers -- For Entry Into Euromart By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) -- She Oshawa Tones Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T.

Some types of hard detergents are being blamed by sanitation and water experts for serious reduction in the efficiency of sewage treatment plants and for the destructive pollu- tion of rivers and lakes. There seems to be some doubt, however, about the precise agents in the detergents that are causing all the trouble, and about means for over- coming the trouble. Delegates to the conference in Toronto were told that research now under way into the matter of water purity meets only 10 ' per cent of immediate needs. Prof. Rolf Eliassen of Stanford University and special adviser on water pollution problems to President Kennedy, said that policy-makers in the United States will.need more information be- fore they can make decisions on the control of hard detergents. And it's a fair bet that even less has been done in Canada in the way of research. The Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities has already asked Respect For One of the most difficult jobs in any parliament or legislative assembly belong to the Speaker. He must have a thorough knowledge of rules and procedures; he must rule impartially, submerging his own opinions, likes and dislikes; he must be strong enough and intellectually alert enough to withstand any efforts, either by the government or opposition, to influence his judgment; and he must be cons- tantly aware of his responsibility as the chief guardian and protector of the dignity of the House. But Mr. er Lambert has more than the customary difficulties to face in the present House of. Com- mons. Not only is he the presiding officer in a desperately divided House, in which no party has a clear majority, but in a House which has more than the usual number of new members. And far too many of these new mem- bers appear to have no understanding of the rules or traditions of Parlia- ment -- and revel in their ignorance. The Ottawa Journal properly points out that "unless the House conducts the federal government to institute a research program, to discover and correct the polluting effects deter- gents may have on our fresh water resources, But one can wonder why public funds should be used for such a program. The problem has been created by the manufacturers of de- tergents, and it is up to them to pay for the solution. If the chemists em- ployed by the manufacturers are too busy mixing new detergents to look into the problems created by products already on the market, then the gov- ernment could put a scientific team to work and present the bill for their services to the manufacturers. The West German government has already taken the necessary legisla- tive steps to prohibit the use of hard detergents by 1965 -- thus allowing the manufacturers time to change their process and products to conform to the law. We doubt if such a law would be passed here, because of the general apathy towards the serious and continuing destruction of fresh water resources. But that does not lessen the need for stern action. Speaker its business with dignity, respecting the traditional rules and courtesies, the work of the session will be done with infinite difficulty or not at all. Part of the dignity of the House is the rule that when the Speaker rises any member standing shall take his seat forthwith. New members... will have noted that some of their seniors, in the heat of debate, have been slow to sit down . .. The Speaker can pre- serve the dignities of the House only if he has the support of members whose servant he is." It may seem a small point, this matter of sitting down, but it is not. It is defiance of the Speaker, and it leads to such an atrocious perform- ance as a member refusing to shut up even when named by the Speaker. Mr.. Speaker Lambert is demons- trating that he has the toughness of character and sharpness of mind to deal with a difficult House. The mem- bers should not add to his difficulties. simply because they may be contemp- tious of parliamentary tradition and democratic procedure. Women's Contribution We are happy to join the chorus of acclaim for Canadian women as the Canadian Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs prepares to observe Business Women's Week in Canada. The Week, which starts tomorrow, provides an opportunity to recognize the great social, political, economic and artistic contribution made to the nation by Canadian women. Miss Elsie Gregory MacGill, presi- dent of the Federation -- and Can- ada's first female aeronautical en- gineer -- maintains that there are over 850,000 "mature, capable wom- en" in industry, the professions, busi- ness and public life today whose work is essential to the Canadian economy. She invites Canadians across the nation to honor the women who have achieved so much in all walks of life and to learn more about the aims and accomplishments of the Federation and its 169 clubs.

Bible Thought For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.--Isaiah 30:15. The prophet here describes the attitude of mind and heart. which God desires in His people: it is an attitude of humble and quiet trust, based upon the richness of His pro- mises. Me MESSAGE FR OM HOME WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING If Taxes Are To Be Cut Handouts Must Be Ended CHATHAM NEWS: body's doing it. In other words, everybody is urging tax cuts with a view to strengthening the economy. and encouraging new investment in Canada. In a recent brief to the Royal Commission on Banking and Finance, the Toronto Stock Ex- change strongly urged a down- ward revision of the present tax structure. The need for tax cuts is ob- vious. Everyone is vitally affect- Every- ed by inordinate taxation. Our. high tax structure is preventing the economic expansion Canada needs. Governments are gobbling up the money needed for industry. Because so much.of the savings of Canadians is siphoned into government coffers, our people have nothing left to invest in their own country. Everyone is agreed that taxes must be cut. The questions remain: "Where?" and "How?" It is a grim, cruel fact that governments, to maintain their present level of spending, must secure money, either by taxa- tion or by borrowing -- and bor- rowing represents a mortgage on the future which calls for yet more taxation. If we are to cut taxation, we simply must forego those pleas- afit hand-outs, those generous benefits, whereby governments bribe us with our own money. A nation-wide _ self-denying resolution, to do without a lot of fancy and fantastic frills for which, anyway, we ourselves have to pay, is necessary. It isn't a matter of choosing between two alternatives. The drastic austerity program announced by Prime Minister Diefenbaker on the heels. of the June 18 election represented a stern warning that, if Canada is to escape bankruptcy Canadians must learn to do without. SARNIA OBSERVER: Police officers investigating traffic fatalities are becoming strongiy convinced that the use of seat belts in automotive vehicles could sharply reduce the num- ber of deaths from accident. People in-cars do not expect to have accidents, yet they do occur and often not in the places where they are most likely to. Traffic studies have shown that the amount of prop- erty damage to cars and trucks is highest in the cities where the traffic density is greatest. Fatalities, however, are on the upswing in the rural areas, where higher speeds are perimit- ted and too often exceeded. One of the reasons for the high rural rate is that frequently the vic- tim who has been seriously in- jured does not obtain medical aid soon enough. Too often the news report of a fatal accident tersely says the victim was dead upon arrival at hospital. Seat belts are therefore being encouraged particularly for rural driving. It is said they can reduce the impact factor in an accident and keep passengers from being hurled through wind- shields or out of cars. If a per- son's injuries can be kept to a minimum then the chances of death from those injuries are reduced. But seat belts have not be. come standard equipment for most cars. They are an acces- M sory which fortunately have come down considerably in price ii recent months. They are much more important than a radio for instance. They are far more sensible than a cigar lighter. They are, though, of littie value if they are not used by the driver and all his passengers. When seat belts and their use become compulsory as a means toward cutting down the start- ling death toll on our highways, we will have the greatest ad- vance in traffic safety of the automotive age.

There have been many gambles for infinitely greater stakes. Far more lives have been spent for even more ephemral gains, Britain pour- ed out ships, planes and men by the thousands in a foredoomed Greek cause simply for the poli- tical and psychological advan- tage of keeping faith with an ally in time of desperate need; she poured out more in the frightful Murmansk convoys merely as a gesture to a suspi- cious and grudging Russia. Any rewards so gained were surely dearly bought, measured in such a balance, does Dieppe's valiant handful seem too great a price to pay for the key to European liberation? Let us put Dieppe where it belongs in our history. As attest- ed by the Germans themselves, no troops in the world could have captured Dieppe that day, in the face of such insurmount- able defences, but the Canadian performance in dire adversity is a bright star in our military heritage. To attempt to assess "blame" for fancied shortcom- ings in the mounting of this as- sault 20 years after the event is not only fatuous, but insult- ing to living and dead alike. Let us speak proudly of the men who fought at Dieppe, for their story is one to make Canadians proud of their heri- tage. CHATHAM NEWS: ~The so called "space race" is not real- ly a race. There has been no race since the Russians _ successfully launched their first Sputnik. Up to that. time, there had been doubts of the possibility of such an achievement. The achievement furnished the basis on which everything since then has been built. Since then, as between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R., each country has to its credit dis- tinct achievements in different fields. The communications satellite sent aloft from the United States was easily the most out- standing '"'outer space" success of the year. Putting astronauts into space is "old hat" now. And the U.S. does not have to take a back seat in successes achieved in sending up satellites to gather and report information on many things that add to the world's scientific knowledge. If there are two sides to the story there is one side that should never be forgotten. No one outside the Iron Curtain knows how many failures have been encountered by Russia. For its part, the United States focusses attention on its failures as well as its successes, becaue even from failures there is knowledge to be gained. People in the middle age and older group have witnessed many important scientific achievements in their span: of life. The first successful radio transmission was one of the highlights. But radio today is accepted as common-place. And so it will be with man's flights into outer space within a few years. Today's thrill is to- morrow's boredom. GALLUP POLL Some Support Changes Since Federal Election By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) Party standings today show Liberals at the highest figure reported by the Poll this year, and Conservatives at the low- est. Nattonally, if a federal per cent of those voters who have an opinion to give, would favor. the Liberal Party; 33 per cent would vote for the Conservatives. This means that since the June 18 federal election, gov- 4) ernment forces have dropped 4 per cent in popular favor while Liberals in the same period of time have risen by 10 per cent. The NDP is down slightly, returning to a figure reported by the Poll in May of this year.

Regionally, Liberals have gained in Quebec and Ontario--. in Quebec at the expense of Conservatives; in Ontario of the NDP. Liberals are in the lead in all regions except the West. NDP losses are found in both Ontario and the West. Nationally the undecided seg- ment stands at 24 per cent.

The Daily Express jubilantly claims him as a convert to its anti-Common Market viewpoint, but most newspapers, with less violent views, still see Gaitskeil @s a man who has not yet made up his mind to. go the whole way in opposing Common Mar- ket entry. Actually, Gaitskell is in favor of Britain going into the Com- mon Market if the terms are right, and if the proper safe- guards for the Commonwealth countries, the EFTA partners and British agriculture and sovereignty are secured. I see very little difference between his stand and that of the gov- ernment leaders charged with the responsibility of conducting the negotiations. They have said exactly the same things on many occasions. The only difference between, them lie in the definition of what consti- tutes proper terms and ade- quate safeguards. Gaitskell said he was against entering the Common Market "on the present terms." But as yet, except for a few isolated items, no terms have been agreed. So, while Mr. Gait- strong reasons for not joining Nor has the time the Common Market, he left final the impression, after the flurry judgment of enthusiasm over his un- so far." doubtedly splendid speech had died down, that he still had a exactly stands, ON NATIONALIZATION hankering for Britain to get into Europe -- but he would rather have it done by a Labor govern- ment than by the present Mac- millan government.

One paragraph in Mr. Gaitskell's speech stands out to support this. He said: "We do not close the door. Our conditions can still be met. YOUR HEALTH Mother's Tactics Sharply Criticized By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD "Dear Dr. Molner: My daugh- ter will be eight years old in a few months and I am having a smoking problem with her. At the tender age of two she wanted to smoke so I finally let her take a deep drag and she choked. "Then she let me alone about cigarets until a year ago when she started pestering again. A week ago I got some cheap cigars and told her to smoke, thinking she would get sick and not want them any more. "Well, sir, she smoked a whole cigar and then a cigaret. While smoking she drank a quart and a half of water. She didn't get sick and she was in- haling. "Then I had her gargle mouth wash, thinking she might swal- low some and it would churn her tummy. Nothing I tried worked. "Next morning I hurried her to the bathroom, telling her the doctor told me her throat would close up and he would have to make a long cut in her neck so she could breathe if she ever smoked any more, and to stop it, I would have to swab it good. "Over her protests I painted her throat with antiseptic three times that day and the next. I think I have frightened her. She says she doesn't want to smoke any more. "She does have what the doc- tor calls chronic tonsillitis. She knows what a sore throat feels like. Have you ever heard of anything like this and how would you solve the problem?--MRS." No, and I hope I never do hear of anything like it. (Some people wonder about many fan- tastic letters I receive--this is a prize example-) I'm sorry for both of you, but mostly for the little girl. All children want to do every- thing they see grownups do. This includes smoking. The an- swer is just, "No, Not unt you are old enough." And thai's that. No arguments. No fancy tricks. That's what your monkey- business with the cigars was-- a fancy trick, and it certainly backfired. I'd guess that she was just as stubborn as you were, once you sat down together for your smoke, When none of your other tricks aimed at making her sick succeeded, you tried to scare the daylights out of her with TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 13, 1962... British forces under Sir Isaac Brock defeated the Queenston Heights on the Niagara frontier 149 years ago today--in 1813. Sir Isaac was killed in the battle. 1799--Napoleon Bonaparte declared war on Hamburg. 1943--Italy declared war on Germany, her former Axis partner. RUNNING APPEAL REGINA (CP) -- Fifteen Re- gina students, including five girls, competed in a marathon race from here to Moose Jaw and back--a total of about 100 miles--to mark the team effort involved in the United Appeal. They carried a silver dollar to the Moose Jaw United Appeal and returned with the United Appeal "torch." that story about the "doctor." Shame on you! And I wonder what her "'ton- sillitis" really is. Could it be partly psychosomatic--the re- sult of her imagination, based on your scare story? Such phy- sical reactions to mental sug- gestion are far from unknown. That, plus. the brutal swabbing of the child's throat. None of this, of course, could have happened if you had ob- served a basic rule: never lie to a child. You can refuse to answer some things, you can evade them with such remarks as, "I'll explain when you're older." You can, and usually must, oversimplify things at times. But never lie to a child. As Sir Walter Scott wisely wrote: "'Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we prac- tise to deceive!" Maybe the smoking problem is solved. But you've substituted some worse things, like fear and deception: I'd let the whole thing drop now. Or try to. Dear Dr. Molner: A friend has advised me not to use frozen meats or vegetables as they are very injurious. Will you kindly tell me why?-- E.E.W. They aren't injurious at all. Your friend must have been vic- timized by some sort of hoax, fad or false rumor. However, refreezing defrosted foods is not recommended. F organizations. * apples, election. EXECUTIVE DEFEATED On one subject, the execu- tive suffered a notable defeat- It brought in a proposal to ban from party membership all per- sons who "associated with" pro- scribed bodies. This was aimed at left-wing extremists who have been associated with moves ments with a Communist tinge to them. It arose directly from the recent incident in which Lord Russell and Canon John Collins were associated with the sponsorship of a Communist- inspired peace conference in Moscow. Up to the present time, _ expulsion has been reserved for members who joined banned The -- executive 'wishes to extend this to include members who merely "associ- ated with" such bodies. Left wing delegates staged a rowdy debate on this resolution, and won the day. It was de- feated by a vote of 3,497,000 to 2,793,000 -- a real slap in the face for the national. execu- ve. PLAN RETALIATION From Kent comes an inter esting story on the reaction of farmers there to the possibility of Britain joining the Common Market. Two hundred of them are getting ready to launch @ counter-attack if that happens. They plan to: export their produce across the channel to Europe at the same time as European agriculturists step up exports to Britain. In the early stages, the battle would be fought with fruit, with cherries, pears and plums forming the spearhead of the attack. Vegetables would be added at a later stage, and the ammunition would include pota- toes from the Garden County of England. Campaign headquarters will be in a series of new buildings at Preston, a farming village between Canterbury and the Channel coast. Harold Wright is general manager of the project, and his job will be to grade, pack and mark2t the farmers' produce in Europe on a co-operative basis.
