Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1963--PAGE 6 Lesage Proposal Would End Central Authority One must assume that Premier Lesage of Quebec has no federal ambitions, because if he gets his way at the federal-provincial con- ference, there won't be a federal authority worth the name in Ot- tawa. On top of his demand for a much bigger share of tax revenues for his province, he has placed another demand, for the establishment of a federal-provincial policy-making partnership which would determine tariff structures, transportation and even monetary policy. He said in a brief to the conference: "If provincial and interprovincial policies may, according to circum- stances be made with or without federal government participation, those of the federal government should never be fixed without, con- sulting the provinces, for, inevitably, such policies affect the popula- tions and the industries of the pro- vinces which form Canada." Adoption of such a policy would inevitably destroy the policy- making authority of the central government. Power would pass from Ottawa to the provincial capi- tals. It would not take long for the central government, under such circumstances, to relapse into a coma of indecision and ineffectu- ality in the domestic field; and it would be seriously hampered in the foreign field, because in that area, too, the decisions would in most cases have a direct effect on the "populations and the industries of the provinces". Under the Lesage formula, the provinces would, in effect, have more power than the central gov- ernment, which would become a sort of secretariat. Independent of any federal restraint, the provinces could, individually or in concert, pursue their own policies; but the central government could not do anything without reference to the provinces. When one considers how diverse are the. provincial opinions as expressed by such premiers as Lesage, Smallwood and Bennett, one can see how comple- tely undermined the federal power of decision would be. This may be Mr. Lesage's counter to separatism. But it would bal- kanize Canada just as surely as separatism would. Public Needs Evidence . FBI Director J..Edgar Hoover is reported to be assembling for. publi- cation the mass of evidence on the assassination of late President John F. Kennedy. This is a necessary action, in view of the enormous amount of speculation and suspicion which has been voiced, particularly in the European press. There seems to be a stubborn belief in many parts of Europe that the assassin was the paid killer of an extreme rightist group, and that he in turn was slain to silence him for ever. The Communists were quick to blame the racial fanatics of the extreme right for the presi- dent's murder, noting that he was killed in the city which seems to have become the capital of the John Birchers. Such a Communist ex- planation was to be expected, in view of the known Communist asso- ciations of the suspected assassin, Lee Oswald -- who was first ac- cused by Pravda of being a Trotsky- ite. But the same thought has been expressed by anti-Communist news- papers in Holland, Belgium and else- where. And street interviews in Canada reveal a similar suspicion. The doubt, suspicion and specu~ lation have been encouraged by the grimly inept performance of the Dallas police force, the contradic- tory statements made by publicity- hungry Dallas officials; and the taciturnity of the FBI. Doctors said there had been no autopsy on John Kennedy's body, but a White House official said there had been-a post- mortem. What's the difference? And whom do we believe? Was he struck by one or two bullets, and was anyone able to determine the angle of entry? These are not morbid inquiries. They are pertinent in the assess- ment of guilt. And they are now part of history. The facts must be made clear, because only through them can the world learn whether John Kennedy fell before the viciousness of a hate- filled group or whether he was the victim of a deranged mind. Slow Pokes In Traffic Dr. James L. Malfetti, executive officer of the safety research and education project of Columbia Uni- versity's Teachers' College, told a recent traffic conference in Toronto that "the slow-poke driver is more of a hazard than the driver who simply exceeds the speed limit." He said that scientific study of the causes of traffic accidents and prevention methods had convinced him that police are far too easy on the slow-poke drivers and concen- trate too much of their time and attention on those who exceed the speed limit by a few miles per hour. There are others who have made scientific studies of traffic accidents whose conclusions disagree with those of Dr. Malfetti, although most of them have concluded that lack of speed is possibly as much of a contributory cause of accidents as : T.

But Dr. Malfetti would get more agreement with his point that more attention should be paid by enforcement authorities to the effect of a driver's behavior on traffic flow. There is no doubt that the slow- poke driver creates situations in which accidents are likely to occur. The law recognizes this, in a rather vague way, and empowers police to take action. At the same time, it must be recognized that on our highways today a large number of drivers regard adherence to speed limits as slow-poke driving. And this applies to streets as well as highways. The person who drives at a steady 60 mph on Highway 401 is left behind by most of the traffic -- and that includes trucks and buses, as well as other automobiles. The person who follows speed limits on such Oshawa arteries as Steven- son's Road, Adelaide and Simcoe North is considered a traffic block by most other drivers -- except when there is a radar trap. In any case, discussion of traffic faults is of little purpose if there is not stern enforcement of traffic rules. And certainly in Ontario there are simply not enough policemen to enforce the rules -- not enough policemen and not enough equip- ment to help them do the job.

TEN LITTLE INDIANS REPORT FROM U.K. Spain Now Main Vacation Mecca By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A craving for e holiday which will take them to places where there is a rea- sonable expectation of prolong- ed periods of warm sunshine is strong in the hearts of British holiday-makers. Thus it comes about that, according to a sur- vey completed by the British Travel and Holiday Association, Spain has now become the favorite country ir. which Brit- ish people sperd their holidays. Spain has pushed Italy into second place, and France, which used to stand well ahead © ali other countries in first place, is now reckoned to be a poor third. These ane the con- clusions of a survey conducted in co-operation with holiday end travel organizations and transport concerns, Study of this year's holiday figures, for instance, by one of the ing firms in the field of arranging holidays, Thomas Cook and Son, reveals that this year nearly twice as many peo- ple chose Spain rather than France for a holiday outside of Britain this year. €DOD REASONS abroad. But some travel agents have an idea that Spain has reached the crest of the wave efter 10 years o: steady growth. PRICES GOING UP With the influx of ever- imereasing numbers of tourists to Spain, it is reported, prices began to move up appreciably as the 1963 summer season pro- gnessed. A continuation of this might have a marked effect on next year's flow to that country. There are still many in, the no greater than those which pre- vailed in other holiday coun- tries. And with a steady im- provement in the travel facili- ties to that country, the num- ber of Britons going to Spain will keep on growing. On the other hand, one tour. ist agency claimed that holiday transit figures were not very reliable as a guide to where people went. It pointed out that thousands of people who land- ed in France went on to an- other country in Europe within a day. Its spokesman said: "Our bookings this year show that 30 per cent of Britons go- ing abroad this year stayed in Spain, 25 per cent in Italy, 16 per cent in France, five per cent in Austria and five per cent in Belgium." It is estimated that those who went abroad from the United travel agency b , how- ever, who maintain that the price increases in Spain were Kingd for holiday in 1963 spent about $720 million on their vacations.

The Oshawa Citizens' Band, organized three months pre- viously, gave a fine concert in the Regent Theatre under the directi of Bandmaster R. There are two which have pushed Spain into a place of leadership in. the holiday race. One is the low level of prices to be found in that coun- try. The other is its great expanse of sun-soaked beaches. The Balearic Islands play an important part in putting Spain at the top of the holiday league table. A breakdown of the des- tination figures of British tour- ists going abroad shows that more people went to these is- lands than went to the Costa Brava or the Costa del Sol. The British Travel and Holi- day Association confirms that Spain was the first choice of British holiday - makens going Fountain. At a council meeting, Ald. A. R.

OTTAWA REPORT Badanai Rejects Patronage Charge By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The federal de- partment of public works has at times been' regarded as the most flagrant and- scandalous "gravy bowl" into which politi- cians try to dip their fingers, and pull out of it'a plum of patronage. ' Ten years ago, the Liberal prime minister appointed Rob- ert Winters as minister of pub- lic works and he made some progress in cleaning up the old patronage system. Then in the Diefenbaker government, the department was taken over by Howard Green, who abhorred patronage as vigorously as any Old Testament sin. Recently it has been charged that under Jean-Paul Deschatelets, the de- partment is returning to the pre- Winters system of patronage. The parliamentary secretary to Mr. Deschatelets is Mr. Hu- bert Badanai, Liberal MP for by the minister, and resisted by himself, by myself and by the Officials of the department." BUT SPRINGHILL? This admirable policy must be hard to follow. Every MP wants federal building somewhere in his. constituency, to be erected at the expense of the taxpayer. But individual merit, rather than the political affiliation of QUEEN'S PARK Fort William, who is resp by MPs of all parties and rec- ognized as a burgess of un- exceptionable principle. FAIR TO FOES I have noticed how fair Bad- anai has been to his political foes when a new federal build- ing is being officially opened in their constituency. For example, Conservative MP Charles Lamb was invited to play a prominent role in the ceremonies marking the opening of such a building at Lindsay, Ont. Similarly Ed Nasserden was honored when a similar building was opened at being Nova Scotia. Whatever happened about the reform the former Conservative govern- ment.

This week at the federal-pro- incial fi at Ottawa Duck Lake, Sask. And next month J. E. Madill will take his position similarly -at the opening of a federal building at Orangeville in his Ontario con- stituency of Dufferin - Simcoe. Thus Bert Badanai has insisted that these three Conservative MPs should be recognized, and not be deftly snubbed by being omitted from the list of honored guests at government ceremon- ies in their constituencies. This is a welcome swing away from a subtle form of patron- age; under the old dispensation in 'the department of public works, it would have been the defeated Liberal candidate, rather than the Conservative MP, who would have been thus honored. Against this background, I asked Bert Badanai about this charge that his department is swinging back to overt patron- age. "Nonsense," he replied. 'The YOUR HEALTH Exercise Needed By Strike Victim By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD © Dear Sir: You recommended Buerger's exercise for strength- ening the limbs and I have had excellent results with it. Some five years ago (I am now 81) I had a stroke. My legs became weaker until it was impossible for me to use the. stairs. After the exercise, my legs regained strength and now I am able to negotiate 20 or more steps without the slightest trou- ble. Why not explain the exer- cise to others?--G. M. Buerger's exercise consists essentially in lying on the back, raising one'leg and holding up until you count 30, then lower- ing it and doing the same with the other leg. Then repeat. Its purpose is to aid leg cir- culation, if it is impaired, as may be from Buerger's disease or several other causes. It works, for those who are willing to devote a little time and ef- fort, (Some people, unfortu- nately, don't think a treatment is any good unless it is compli- cated, or expensive. But others find that things which cost noth- ing can often do @ great deal @f good.) there could be a lot said by the Ontario delegation about the disproportionate _contribu- tion the province is making to the country. And a lot more will be felt. Before the Ontario delegation this left for the conference econo- mists were busy figuring out pe how much Ontario put into the country through taxes (50 per cent is the figure usually men- tioned) :and how much less per capita it gets back than do the other provinces. argument, of course, has its place at the conference table. It is Ontario's big bargaining int. But if it is overdone it can be a great threat to national harmony. _ Many of the other provinces resent strongly Ontario's wealth. And they are particularly con- scious of the fact that a big share of its tax payments are Your problem was a stroke, and your legs lost their power to move, or at least they didn't move well. You were smart enough (or lucky enough, or both) to know your stroke was a serious one --not extreme enough to par- alyse you permanently, but strong enough so that, if you had not done your best to get the legs operating, you might well have never walked again. For stroke victims, one uni- versal rule is this: If you can move muscles at all, whether in the legs, arms, hands, face or wherever, use them! The more you do so, even if you can't more than twitch at first, the more recovery you will make. But if you give up,. you'll just get worse because of the inactivity.

And behind this largely was Alberta oil. Hon. Leslie Frost, when pre mier, had a ond sense of Ca- nadian nationhood, His relations with the federal government and with the other generally were better than On- tario had had for a long time. But Mr. Frost in his latter years. at times turned a bit sour. This went back to the time when the fiscal agreement which preceded the -- one was being negotiated. Ottawa insisted that the other provinces should be given grants based on an equality with Ontario and British Columbia-- the two richest provinces in terms of production. This meant that Alberta got a grant as one of the poorer provinces, and this used to make Mr. Frost see red. For .the Alberta government , isthe best off in Canada. "Thanks to oil royalties it has no debt and has had money to give away--one year it even gave $25 to all citizens. ' This old emotional feeling is still around.
