Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1964--PAGE 6 T Conservatives Had No Choice On Leadership "At this week's Conservative gathering in Ottawa, the open rebels against the Diefenbaker leadership were few, but it was obvious that there were many more who were something less than en- thusiastic about The Chief but who, for one reason or another, preferred not be counted as rebels in open vote. Mr. Diefenbaker got his vote of confidence, then, as everyone expected he would, but it 'was not accompanied by any great outburst of enthusiasm. The political reporters did their best to give color and a sense of drama to the proceedings in Ot- tawa, but not one of them really expected to see a determined effort to unseat Mr. Diefenbaker. No matter what the delegates thought of his leadership, they had to face two harsh facts: They have no one of national stature readily avail- able ,to replace him; the Liberals could wreck the Conservative party if they called an election in the middle of a bitter fight for the Tory leadership -- and under pre- sent circumstances it could not help but be bitter. There is no doubt that the federal Conservative party is shaken and disorganized. It needs morale, ideas and unity. Mr. Diefenbaker, un- fortunately, offered the party no program to attain those necessary goals in his "fighting" speech at Ottawa. He made it plain: The duty of all good Conservatives was not to question but to have implicit faith in The Chief, who would once again lead them out of the wilder- ness into the green pastures of power. The Conservatives, judge, are in trouble. one would 'Ministers And Hypnosis Twelve ministers. in Metro Tor- onto have decided to seek permis- gion from the provincial govern- ment to use hypnotism on their parishioners. They have already attended a training session in "pastoral hypnotism" under an 'American clergyman who says that during the past 20 years he has used hypnosis in pastoral counsel- ling and helped hundreds with problems ranging from overweight and alcoholism to insomnia and fear of dentists. The Toronto clergymen -- four United Church, four Anglican, three Baptist and one Presbyterian -- will meet Feb. 18 to begin a cam- paign to have the right to practise hypnotism extended to "qualified" clergymen. They will either send a brief or a delegation to Health Minister Dymond to request the change. ' The key word in the proposal is "qualified". How will they be qua- lified? And what would be the limits of the counselling? Insomnia, alcoholism and over- weight are, fundamentally, matters of physical and mental health, and are, therefore, medical questions. If a clergyman is to treat such conditions. through . hypnosis -- properly, another medical proce- dure -- surely he should have a substantial knowledge of medicine, including more than an interested layman's understanding of psych- iatry. Clergymen undoutedly have a wide experience of human prob- lems, and their faith as well their training gives them a deeper un- derstanding of these problems. But medically, they can only be inspired amateurs without professional in- struction and training. And medical men themselves are wary of hyp- nosis, because a great deal remains to be known about it. Takeover Discussions The bid of an American brewery for controlling interests in an On- tario brewery has renewed discussion of US. takeovers and U.S. owner- ships of Canadian enterprises. Fin- ance Minister Walter Gordon warned last week that federal legislation might be needed to keep Canadian control over chartered banks and other financial institutions. Foreign takeovers of such institutions would, of course, be much more serious than the transfer of control of a brewery. Undoubtedly it's important that Canada retain control of her econ- omic destiny, and this may be difficult if Canadian ownership of domestic commerce continues to erumble. But some Canadians are beginning to sound like common scolds as they deplore the "invasion" of foreign money. Let's not kid ourselves about this. We need a strong element of Canadian ownership, but we also need foreign investment -- unless we're prepared to endure a severe reduction in our standard of living. We would not be living nearly as well today if foreign -- particu- She Oshawa Fines T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

The time has probably come to put the matter of ownership in better balarice. But the construc- tive way of going about it is not by penalizing foreign investors, as Finance Minister Gordon plans, by wielding the withholding-tax whip. That is the negative way. More effective, and certainly less dan- gerous for our economic future, would be a system of incentives, to increase the volume of Canadian investment and to boost Canadian representation in foreign - owned or foreign-developed corporations. The first logical step towards a sound program of incentives would be an easing of the tax burden. Other Editors' Views EAST SUFFERS (Fredericton Gleaner) -- The unemployment rate for all of Canada at the middle of last month was 5.1 per cent. For the Atlantic Provinces the figure was 8.5 per cent, very nearly double the rate for the rest of the country -- 48 per cent. With one worker in every 12 -- and his family -- being sup- ported by the rest, the Atlantic economy is not healthy. Only massive federal investment in power, transportation and indus- trial development projects in the Atlantic Provinces can remove the disparity. Bible Thought By love serve' one another. -- Galatians 5:13. The Christian life is a life of giving. Greatness is never measured by how much we accumulate but by how well we serve. REPORT FROM U.K. ROUTE 66 Smoking Question Debated By Lords By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Britain's anti- smoking campaign took an_un- usual turn when it was debated in the House of Lords, and when new measures to .dis- courage the use of cigarets were urged upon the government. The Earl of Arran sparked the debate with a suggestion that all cabinet ministers should set an example by announcing their intention to give up cigarets. Perhaps he had heard of Can- ada's minister of pensions and welfare, Hon. Judy Lamarsh, making an anouncement of that kind just after she took office. However, Lord Newton, par- liamentary secretary for nealth, took a different view when he said that to smoke or not to smoke was just as personal a matter for cabinet ministers as it was for anyone else. He add- ed, slyly: "Tt may be that you yourself could give a lead by persuading those newspapers with which you are associated to stop pub- lishing cigaret advertisements." UNHEALTHY INQUISITION Lord Stonham, another Social- ist member, carried on the dis- cussion, saying: "This kind of inquisition on the personal habits of ministers is quite. un- healthy, and might promote in- quiries into the consumption of alcohol or anything else." Lord Meston, Liberal spoke up for his party: "Should not ministers be allowed to smoke and drink and do what they damn well please?" Meanwhile, the subject was also under debate in the Com- mons, where Quinton Hogg turn- ed down a demand to open re- search into the compulsive urges to smoke. SIX GOLDEN RULES Coincident with these debates, the General Council for ,Health Education issued six golden rules which it recommended to people anxious to give up cig- aret smoking. They are: 1. Give yourself a positive reason to stop -- such as your health or the cost. 2. Make duplicate lists of all the reasons why you should not smoke and stick them by your mirror, on the kitchen table, in the bathroom, where you work and by your chair where you relax in the evening. 3. Always travel in non-smok- ing compartments of trains or buses. 4. Eat sweets or chew gum for the first few days if you crave @ substitute. YOUR HEALTH 5. Give up at the weekends, on holidays or when you have a hangover . . . not when you are likely to be under stress. 6. Spend the money you save in the first week or two on some luxury you would not otherwise be able to afford. These rules are contained in a booklet "You Can if You Really Want to,"" issued by the Council, and sent out to every medical health officer in Britain. . "Habits die hard,' says the Council," and the smoking habit is a very difficult one to change -- especially when addiction may be involved and when many smokers believe it gives them pleasure." Hives Give Chance Of Spotting Cause By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Instead of affecting eyes and nose, as with hay fever, or caus- ing digestive upsets as foods can do, hives or urticaria is a red, splotchy, itchy weal. Hives usually occur suddenly, sometimes within 20 minutes of contact with whatever is caus- ing it, sometimes longer, but usually within a fairly short time. This gives the patient at least a sporting chance of noting what has been eaten, or touched, or experienced, shortly before the hives appeared. It can be foods--and it may be that a food can be eaten (seafoods are an example) in small quantities without reac- tion, but causes trouble in larger quantities, or under certain cir- cumstances, I refer here prin- cipally to the presence of ner- vous tensions, but there are oth- ers, It can be the result of some- thing you touch, and I've seen people break out from such di- verse things as shrubs in a gar- den, a neighbor's cat and eat- ing strawberries, Nuts, chocolate; vegetables, sunlight, cold, menstruation, drugs, violent emotional upsets, injected extracts (such as pol- len extracts), are a few more examples. If eating or contact with the particular factor stops, so, in a short time, will the hives. Re- peated contacts, however, will bring new attacks. At the immediate time, how- ever, it is often possible to sub- BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Feb. 7, The General Motors Orches- tra under -he direction of L. F.

OTTAWA REPORT Road Fatalities Call For Action By PATRICK NICHULSUN OTTAWA -- The army has given warning that it will pro- tect the lives of Canadians by shooting at sight any maraud- ers attempting to steal arms from armories in Quebec. With tiiis praiseworthy pre ce dent, Canadians might well ask why our police are so soft with those other marauding killers who have wantonlv slaughtered what is the scandalous total of 873 Canadians in the past two months. Official figures just released show that this number of Ca- nadians were killed and 23,031 were injured on our roads dur- ing the months of October and November last year. The fatal- ities were five per cent higher than in the previous year, and to QUEEN'S PARK Seven provinces witnessed more traffic fatalities in these two latest months surveyed than in the same period of the previous year. Proportionatel, P.E.I. had the worst rms with the total of deaths being doubled to eight. The Quebec total rose by 21 to 260, while the Ontario figure edged up by seven to 281. WHAT IS B.C.'s SECRET? The best record was achieved by B.C. where the total deaths was reduced by 33 per cent to 58. Saskatchewan's fig- ure was 68 compared to 69 in the previous year, while New -- ick's deaths fell from 29 ~ Municipal System Reforms Proposed BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- There is more and more pressure for a better system of municipal govern- ment. Both inside the House and out more speakers are propos- ing that there should be larger units of administration and more equitable financing. The most novel suggestion to date was that of Allan Reuter, the new PC members for Wat- erloo South. He proposed that there should be a form of municipal organ- ization drawn up by 1967 as a means of recognizing the cen- tennial. Mr. Reuter gave an effective speech, once again stressing that Premier Robarts' big prob- lem probably will be a surfeit of good members. Many of the new men with ability who have come into the chamber this year will : grow restive unless they have more work to do. And there isn't the work to go round, LOCAL PRIDE Mr. Reuter put his finger on the one reason why chances are not good for getting major municipal reform. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Feb. 7, 1964... Britain announced 17 years ago today--in 1947-- that it would permit 100,000 Jews to settle in Palestine. It wasn't until 1948 that the state of Israel was pro- claimed. In the month be- fore the scheduled May 14 termination of the British mandate over Palestine, the Arabs let slip the towns of Haifa, Jaffa, Tiberias and Safad as Jewish forces doubled their attacks in their war of independence. Before the Arab league could intervene, the state was established. 1885--The late U.S. Nobel Prize-winning novelist Sin clair Lewis was born: 1941--British forces cap- tured the Libyan port of Bengazi during the Second World War. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Those who are trying to find the answer to the question as to what happens when an irresist- ible force meets with an un- movable body should watch what happens when an unfrus- tratable child tangles with an unbreakable toy.

He wasn't against local au- tonomy, In fact he said it was the foundation of our municipal system. But he did rightly point out that it was the major block that got in the way of any substan- tial improvement. The first thing you run into when any change in municipal- ities is proposed i- local pride. And being an emotional thing this often kills clear thought right from the start. It also blocks much potential effective action here. For provincial -- from hurting local feel- Ings. ACTS WITH TIMIDITY Even on matters such as pol- lution where area controls ob- viously are needed it acts with the greatest timidity. The one hope for any real change in this situation is in the fact that the province now pro- vides so much of the money for municipal support. It is spending so much that eventually it will have to de- mand efficiency. And efficiency will cali for a better system of administration. To get this will require some compulsion, And the compulsion will come when savings and efficiency are more important than tender lo- cal feelings. of Offender takes up government viously The ever-increasing number of tragedies on our roads is @ national outrage which is ac- cepted with an irresponsible in- difference. Every Canadian is entitled to far greater protec- « tion than is now available. As has been pointed out re-« peatedly, a licence to operate an automobile on the public road is a privilege, not a right. © The failure to check the mount- towns in the matter of A common complaint he) one whicle observation suggests is thoroughly justified, is that ; the most frequently punished motoring offence is overtime parking. Pursuing the parking much of time of the police force often results in his punishment; « but the same motorist can drive away, through a red light, the wrong way down a one-way street, with only one headlight illuminated after dark, and with inadequate brakes--and not be apprehended. REPEAT TESTS NEEDED Disregard of traffic rules seems here to be the major cause of those minor but -- accidents which made up muc! of the October and November damage total of $19,284,000 iast ~ year. This figure, like the total of nonfatal injuries on our roads, rose by eight per cent over the previous year. Both drivers and their cars should be officially checked for road-worthiness far more often than is done now. For example, there was one well-known driver in Ottawa who had properly obtained a driving licence about 40 years earlier, and' had it renewed each year without any check despite the fact that he had be- come so blind he could not read even with glasses. He have taken several innocent Ca- nadians to death with him at any time, and probably would have done if he had not pre- died through another form of accident. The only outcry heard this year in connection with the road toll concerns the sharp in- crease in insurance rates. In this, the careful driver witn a well-maintained car is paying for the rising cost of damages caused by the careless driver or the drunk driver with an un- roadworthy jalopy. But the of- ficial statistics suggest it 's past time for Canadians to protest on humanitarian grounds. SECECR TPE Pee eh ietr sage ts Ronald W.
