Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JUNE 1, 1964--PAGE 6 Members Have Chance For Splendid Debate So the great flag debate is soon to get under way in Parliament, taking precedence over matters of real national importance. If the members live up to their past per- fomances, the chatter will go on and on and on in a numbing sequence of predictable speeches; there will be agile and not so agile attempts to justify support or condemnation of the "Pearson flag" without show- ing enthusiasm for or against the Union Jack, which "may be flown as a symbol of Canadian member- ship in the Commonwealth of Na- tions and of our allegiance to the Crown"; there will be a steady stream of platitudes and cliches, and finally there will be a vote, the result of which will be the same, give or take a vote or two, as it would be were it taken next Mon- day. That is what we can expect, on the basis of past performance. It would be a wonderful surprise for the country if the performance chart proved inaccurate and the mem- bers confined their speeches to con- structive ideas about the state of Canadian nationhood -- because that is really what the flag issue is all about. As we have said before in this space, a flag is simply a bit of colored rag if it does not represent something. All right -- what does the flag of Canada represent, no matter what its shape or color or design might be? Is this a nation or a loose assembly of competing pro- vinces? Are we Canadians, without qualification-and without hyphens, or are we a collection of suspicious groups of people occupying a rather large piece of real estate? Do we have any reason for being, as a nation? Have we. more to our character than racial memories? These are only a few questions the members might explore deeply in content, succinctly in speech. If they do, the flag debate could give the whole nation a fresh sense of purpose. Predictions For 1970 A Canadian gross national pro- duct of at least $57 billion, roughly one-third higher than in 1963, and ' g population of 21.8 million by 1970 are estimated by the Bank of Mont- real in its most recent business review. The review suggests that "in the light of the many favorable factors which appear to be in the offing... the actual rate of growth achieved between now and 1970 may well ex- ceed by a substanial margin the average rate experienced so far in the post-war period." The average rate has been 4.1 per cent. The favorable factors are listed as "a higher rate of family formation, a resurgence of capital investment, continued strength of external de- 'mand for Canadian products and the cumulative effects of automation and technological change." Changes in the age distribution of the population may have a greater economic impact than the moderate rate of growth would imply. The 15 to 24 age groups are expected to grow fastest, with ob- vious influence on the size of the labor force and the demand for accommodation and consumer goods, The bank experts expect there will be only a moderate increase in the 25 to 44 age groups, while the numbers in the 45 to 64 age groups should increase much more rapidly. Thus a labor force of some 7.9 mil- lion can be expected by 1970, an increase of about 170,000 each year, compared with an average annual increase of 120,000 since 1957. A labor force of this size could be expected to produce a gross na- tional product in 1970 well above the figure indicated by a simple projection of the post-war trend. But the average number of hours worked per week may fall "and in consequence the rise in output per employed person may tend to flatten out." Neverthless, the review suggests that even if average unemployment is higher than today's rates, realiza- tion of the other factors in the es- timate would place the growth of total output above the post-war trend, Report On Wolf Study The reasons for man's hatred of wolves should make an interesting psychological study. Ontario still "pays a bounty on wolves, even though the bounty system has been amply proved to be a waste of time __-and_ money. In some sections of the province drives to reduce the numbers of wolves may be needed, as a protec- tion for livestock. But in many other areas wolves get the blame when in fact packs of dogs gone wild are the killers of sheep and young cattle. Deer hunters, too, are quick to blame wolves for sharp reductions in the deer herds. Experts of the Department of "Lands and Forests have been study- ing wolves for several. years in Algonquin Park, and their discover- ies should do much to clear away a She Oshawa Times T. L.

An interim report, for example, says that "all results obtained to date indicate no detectable increase in the num- ber of packs or size of packs since the cessation of snaring in 1959. Although the actual mechanisms in- volved are not known, wolves appear to have their own system of birth control which prevents them from increasing beyond a certain density regardless of available food sup- plies. Also there has been no in- creased movement of wolves from the Park into adjacent areas." With the exception of minor fluctuations, deer populations in the Park have remained approximately the same throughout the duration of the study. When decreases were noted, they were also recorded in the three forest districts surround- ing the Park. The conclusion: "This close synchrony of changes over such a large area suggests that a more basic factor of factors such as changes in range and-or weather conditions is the main controlling influence," Other Editors' Views LIBERALS WARY (Kitchener-Waterloo Record) Privately, the federal Liberals may look somewhat warily at their new ally in the prairie province, | for in the Ottawa and socialist phase of his career Mr. Thatcher was highly unpredictable and never a reliable party man. 'A LESSER BREED, I PRESUME' READER'S VIEWS . FLAG SYMBOL Dear Sir: In reply to your editorial re the flag in which you made the statement, the flag was only a bit of bunting, an old colored rag, why did you not finish the piece of poetry? 'Tis only an old bit of bunting : "Tis only an old colored rag, But thousands have fought for its honor And shed their best blood for the flag. I agree the flag is only .a symbol. It stands for free- dom, our way of life, this is what our forefathers 'bled and died for, which point your edi- torial made clear. You made the statement that the most loyal Canadians were the ones who did not care what type of flag we have. I cannot agree, for if the flag is a sym- bol, it matters a great deal. We have learned to love and respect the Canadian Red En- sign, it is part of our past history, of which we need not be ashamed; rather we should be proud for what we stand for in the free world. The flag should not have been made a political issue. This should be put to:a vote, giving us the freedom of choice. If the majority wants the change, I would go along with them. I resent the way the new flag is being forced upon us. We stand for freedom: Let the people speak. AGNES WILSON Oshawa QUEEN'S PARK FLAG ISSUE Dear Sir: Many thanks for the oppor- tunity of casting my ballot, even though unofficial, where- by, with many other like-mind- ed persons, we wish to support the emblem of -British Com- monwealth participation which carries with it an historical richness which no new flag can denote. It is too bad that many im- 'migrants desire to change Can- ada instead of accepting her as she is. It is also unfortunate that many Canadians have no knowledge or interest in the flag that was ours through thick and thin in two wars and YOUR HEALTH which means so much in for- eign lands especially when flown with similar flags of Australia, New Zealand and the UK, As one who was bom and bred in Latin America, I al- ways did and still do admire the Red, Ensign. This other meaningless rag that Pearson is trying to shove down our throats is a disgrace to our democratic principles and an arrogant micuse of sacred em- blems for the furtherance of his own political aspirations. Without public vote on the mat- ter his action works against Canadians, against Canada and against the greatest Com- monwealth that ever was. LIONEL RUSSELL. Commonest Cause Of Bloody Sputum By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I have had bad breath, and wish you would write about bronchiect- asis.--M.C. Bronchiectasis, of course,: is much more than simply a cause of bad breath, although it is likely to be that, too. It is a dilation of the lower end of the bronchial tubes. It can result from bronchitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis or other lung disorders, but it also may occur without any of these forerunners. The dilated area permits Nuisance Factor Wins Recognition BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- An important new principle has been estab- lished by the government. Through the department of highways it has recognized that when a new highway causes a "nuisance" to a property the said property is liable for com- pensation. So far as is known this breaks completely new ground on the continent, The only damages that have been recognized in highway building are develop ments which affect the physical char- acter of a private property-- such as closing off a side-road. It has been felt that to ack- nowledge injury through dis- turbance would lead to an im- possible situation . . . that prop- erty owners near any new high- ways could claim disturbance, and that road-building could be held back because of this. THEY WON However, few jurisdictions have faced the problem the gov- ernment here did with its High- way 401 widening on the out- skirts of Toronto. Usually the highways depart- ment takes extreme care in planning a new highway. It buys a right-of-way which gives it very ample clearance on both sides--so that no pri- vate properties are jammed against the pavement. The 401 Toronto right-of-way however, was bought some years ago. And at the time it was thought eight lanes would be all that would be needed. When it was built, it was soon seen that 12 lanes would be needed. And this meant the road had to border directly on some highly built-up residential areas. : There was a great protest, And though the sovernment held this off for some time the local residents kept mounting a stronger and stronger pressure. This even threatened to dis- rupt the Conservative caucus. And finally they won. PRINCIPLE COUNTS In setting its new policy the department of highways has done the best it could to pro- tect itself for the future. It is limiting compensation to residential properties. And it has made the ruling that the properties must be within 50 feet of the pavement. (Less than the normal highway allowance), But really there is no great protection that is much good now. The government has set the principle that nuisance injury is open to dollar and cents com- pensation. And this opens a door. In the future there probably will be a lot of people who feel 60 injured. ® phlegm fo accumulate, and there is chronic infection and pus as well as fluid. This in turn means foul-smelling spu- tum, raised by a loose-sounding cough which can be a symptom of bronchiectasis. As you might suspect, the affected area can become ulcer- ated, and thus phlegm may be bloody. In fact, bronchiectasis is the commonest of all causes of bloody sputum and long hemorrhage. The bleeding may be heavy and hence dangerous. The classic symptoms of chronic infection--loss of appe- tite and weight, fatigue, and fever--follow. Separate lobes of the lung can be involved, sometimes the upper, but usually the lower. Treatment includes courses of antibiotics to subdue infection, and postural drainage--that is, lying with shoulders lower than the hips--several times a day to help clear awyay the phlegm and fluids. Smoking aggravates the con- dition and.should be ¢topped. Cure (as distinct from treate ment to ease the problem) in- volves surgery to remove the affected tissnes. This does not necessarily mean removal of an entire lung, or even of an entire lobe of a jung since methods have been devised now for "segmental dissection," removw ing only a part of a lobe. While bronchiectasis obviously causes bad breath, other symp- toms would be more noticeable than the mere odor. However, it's a significant ex- ample of the sort of thing, other than bad teeth, which can cause be stubborn and to recur You nasal infections can mell bad, and havine your teeth fixed or using mouthwash isn't going te correct it.

Molotov, a hold-over from the Stalinist regime, as So- viet foreign minister was announced eight years ago today--in 1956. Molotov had been Soviet premier from to 1941, when Stalin assumed the post, and for- eign minister from 1939 to 1949 and from 1953 until his resignation. 1873 -- Nova Scotian re- former Joseph Howe died. 1879--Eugene, prince im- perial of France, was killed in the Zulu campaign. There are ay great in Adams moving up the heaviest howit- has no social charms; it is es- sentially a workroom, now for- tified with verbal bullets as a last ditch which he has manned for the defence of the equality of non-French Canadians. In this he is winning a huge and devoted following, while his stand is obviously purest joy to his electors. Both Liberals and Conserva- tives here concede that, of all the seats won by the Liberal sweep in Tory Toronto last year, today only R.B.'s seat re- mains safe for its holder, It is no secret-around Parlia- ment Hill that R.B. is getting under the skin of his old pal Lester Pearson on these points. If this is so, he considers, it is only because the prime minister 4s wrong on these points, es- pecially on R.B.'s major prem- ise that, in the partnership of Confederation, neither partner should ride on the other's back, Stern Presbyterian Cowan also has worthy old - fashioned ideas about principles. being more important than electoral earrots in government.
