Negro "leaders pleading for non-violence 'and moderation have been shouted down, possibly by only a handful Could"Help Goldwater of violent types who thrive on this sort of ugly excitement, as a re- lease from the drabness of their daily lives. But what of the reac- tion of the whites whose support of civil rights is only a thin, deli- cate shell over a seething mass of inbred fear, suspicion and sense- . less dislike of people of other colors and creeds? Let's not kid ourselves: There are many hundreds of thousands of fearful and suspicious people in the United States, just as there in Canada, How would such Canadians vote if there was a threatened race war in Canada, for the man who preaches equal rights and modera- tion, or for the man who, at least by implication, stands for extrem- ism and white superiority ? Barry Goldwater, the ultra-con- servative who has refused to re- nounce the support of the extre- mists of the John Birch Society and the Ku Klux Klan, may well pick up substantial support if the race incidents in such great north- ern cities as New York and Chicago continue. 'Here's Discrimination : It was a fine, ringing declara- tion that Prime Minister Pearson 'made at the recent conference of *Commonwealth prime ministers. *He said: "It should be an objective of 'policy to build in each country a 'structure of society which offers 'equal oportunity and non-discrimi- 'nation for all its people, irrespective 'of race, color or creed. "The Commonwealth should be "able to exercise constructive leadership in the application of de- "mocratic principles in a manner 'which will enable all people of the 'many racial and cultural groups in 'our various countries to exist and tdevelop as free and equal citizens." Most reasonable people will agree with Mr. Pearson's proposal; and there is no doubt that he meant every word he said. But until we echange our immigration proce- dures, we can speak only with a 'certain diffidence about the " Tax-Sharing In the past few years, and in 'particular in the past year, there »has been a steady and substantial 'shift in revenue from the federal *to the provincial governments, and "it has been eroding the tax-sharing 'principle devised following, the ; Rowell-Sirois Commission hearing of a quarter-century ago. The shift 'began with the growing needs of » the provinces, but latterly it has developed a strong political colora- | tion. As the Montreal Star points out, 'the concentration of major tax * sources in federal hands is break- » ing down, but how far can it equi- ;tably go? Political expediency { makes a poor basis for tax-sharing. ' The Rowell - Sirois Commission ' * pointed out that many companies » "doing a national business, and many + individuals with big incomes, pay ' their income ,taxes at one point, 'often Toronto or Montreal, but © earn their money in all provinces.

It is not just that we still have a consider- able amount of discrimination within Canada, despite provincial laws; we have flagrant discrimina- tion in our immigration laws. Our choice seems to be either to change our tune on discrimination. change or tne on discrimination. The Port Arthur News-Chronicle has pointed out that in both 1962 and 1963 our total colored immigra- tion from all the world was equally- ed by the influx from tiny -- and white -- Portugal, The paper com- ments: "It is hard to believe that since the majority of people in the world and in the Commonwealth are colored that there is not some sort of discrimination when over 95 per cent of our immigrants dur- ing the past two years were white -- and we had to scratch hard to find them." Question The conclusion was that certain taxes, nationally earned but region- ally collected, should be left in federal hands and proportionately returned to the provinces, either by tax rental or by some equalization formula. And this is how it was until Quebec and Ontario began putting strong pressure on Ottawa. The Lesage government of Quebec in particular has been demanding a bigger share, and Ottawa has been inclined to accede. Premier Lesage demands 25 per cent of corporation income tax, 25 per cent of personal income tax and 100 per cent of succession duties; some of his fol- lowers want even more. The On- tario government does not go as far as that, but definitely wants a bigger slice of the tax pie. The question is, how far can the federal government go in the direc- tion of bigger returns to the big provinces without: crippling its own operations; rationing the smaller provinces; or raising na- tional tax levels to self-defeating heights? The Commission on Taxation may provide an answer. If it does not, there should be a tough, realis- tic inquiry into the whole business of tax-sharing.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times GRIMSBY, Lincolnshire -- A new dispute has arisen in the fishing industry at Grimsby over the landings of fish by ves- sels from the Faroe Islands. This dispute is the aftermath of the laws enacted fixing a 12- mile fishing limit off the Faroe Islands for foreign boats. This dealt a heavy blow at the Brit- ish fishing fleet operating out of Grimsby, since it deprived them of entry into one of the richest fishing zones north of the Brtish Isles. As a "measure of reprisal against this 12-mile fishing limit off the Faroes, a quota was im- posed on the amount of fish which could be landed from Faore Islands trawlers. This quota restricted landings of such fish to 850,000 pounds a year. This amount was divided into four quarters, making the permitted landings 212,500 pounds in every three months period, with no carry-over if there was a shortage in any quarter. TY TO BEAT BAN The dispute has arisen he- cause a company known as the YOUR HEALTH Grimsby Fish Merchants' Sup- plies, has applied to the Na- tional Dock Labor Board to become registered port employ- ers with a view to Janding more fish from the Faroe Islands. Head of this company is George Coulbeck, leader of the Grims- by fish merchants: Reason for the move is the claim of the merchants that the quota. sys- tem is creating shortages of fish and pushing up prices to the consuming public, On the opposite side of the ar- gument is Ken Adams, district organizer of the Transport and General Workers' Union, He protested against the Grimsby . Fish Merchants' Supplies being allowed to employ workers to land Faroese fish in excess of the quota in any three months' period, He said: "My union is a party to the ban, and we have never said that we will break our agree- ment as to the amount of Faro- ese fish our workers will land at Grimsby. It is a diabolical question to ask if we will land fish from Faroese ships. We have an agreement." FISH MERCHANTS' VIEW Mr, Coulbeck, who is the chairman of the organization of Kitchen Sneezes Bother Housewife By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD. Dear Dr. Molner: Every morning when I go in_ the kitchen I start sneezing about 10 minutes, This has been going on for two years. It happens only in the kitchen; no other part of the house. I have tried to figure out what causes it, but can't. I thought you might have some suggestions. Do you think I might _ some kind of al- ?--E.1 Allergy is the likeliest possi- ble explanation. But what's the allergy? You can go to an allergist and perhaps solye the mystery quickly, or perhaps it will take some time Or you can do some sleuthing, either by yourself or in. co-op- eration with your, doctor. If you sleep late, does this sneezing still start only after you have reached the kitchen? Do you sneeze in the kitchen if you have been away from it for the afternoon, and then go back? Or is the problem only in the morning? If so, analyze your morning routine very carefully. What do you touch, taste or smell then and only then? Do you, for example, habitually squeeze orange juice, or do you section grapefruit? Or do you invariably reach for a box of oatmeal? What, that is, do you always do in the first few min- utes' in the kitchen, that you don't do any other time? Orange, grapefruit or lemon Peel can be an allergen. So can any number of other things-- foods, dust, plants, fabrics, and the list is endless. But' the things you always touch: when you first go into the kitchen in the morning are not an endless list. If. for example. vou always have citrus fruit or juice, sub- stitute something else, tomato juice for example, for a week or two. See if that stops the sneezing. If not, take note of what else you touch. Does a pet --cat or dog--always show up to be fed just then? You may be allergic to anima] danders. Dear Dr. Moiner: What causes shingles? How long is it supposed to last? Please de- scribe the problem.--C.F. That's a big order. The med- ical name is Herpes zoster; it is a virus infection of nerve trunks; duration varies very widely; so ddes the pain, but it can hurt like sin. Dear Dr. Molner: I would like to know about keloids, as they are common in my family. Can they be passed on to my children? --D.N. A keloid is an unusual thick- ening of a scar; it should not be regarded as a disease, (It may, of course, be a nuisance or a blemish.) Keloids, or "overgrown scars," tend to occur in younger persons of dark com- plexion. By "dark complexion," I do not mean Negroes, al- though keloids are especially frequent among them. A keloid is an abnormality in the formation of connective tis- sue (sears being connective tis-~ sue) and is usually a famitiar or racial characteristic. Dear Dr. Molner: Under my breasts I have a stinging itch. I am using petroleurn .jelly but it doesn't seem to help much. I am in my 70's.--MRS§,. E.J. This is a condition seen older persons. itchy area dr in Try keeping the Stop using the petroleum jelly. Wash and dry carefully, then dust with baby powder, or corn starch. If this doesn't help, then I suggest see- ing a skin specialist, Grimsby's 300 wholesale fish merchants, however, is persist- ent in his claim that there should be no limit on such land- ings, He said: 'We are against the ban in its present form. We feel that the full quota of Faorese fish should be landed when it is needed and not spread out over the year. We have applied to be- come port employers so that we can land Faroese and other for- eign fish at any time the neces- sity arises." The most heated comment comes from John Hobbs, a trawl skipper and secretary of the Grimsby Trawler Officers' Guild, who said: "The merchants' action is a deliberate attempt to stab the British fishermen in the back." There the matter rests for the moment, with no action taken as yet on the application made by the Fish Merchants Associa- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 22, 1964...

At miost meetings a top of only 10 delegate votes is at stake. And most of these that are open to persuasion won't be settled at a riding meeting, but with a handshake over a farm fence or in a hotel room. BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO July 22, 1939 Six hundred young pheasants were released in the townships of Pickering and West Whitby by the Inspector of Game and Fisheries. The first picnic ever held by employees of the Robson Leath- er Co, waS a great success. More than 900 were present at Lakeview Park for the event, J. E. Johnson was appointed Director of Sales and C. E, Mc- Tavish, Director of Parts and Service, by H. J. Carmichael, vice-president. and general manager of General Motors of Canada. Six old gasoline tanks "were removed from the ground and treated to remove fumes under the direction of Fire Chief W. R. Elliott, who pronounced them to be a menace to the city, Whitby Board of Education fixed the maximum salary for public school teachers at $900. This did not include principals. Mayor John Coleman and several of the aldermen accept- ed an invitation from-the St. Catharines council to visit that city' and inspect the buses there, while the local council was in process of changing from streetcar to bus service. The delegates agreed that they preferred the 2l-passenger buses for Oshawa. Appointments of General Motors included that of E. J. Umphrey as General Sales Manager of the Chevrolet-Olds- "mobile Division and Roy D. Kerby as General Sales Man- ager of the Pontiac-McLaughlin Buick Division. Twenty Ukrainians from Osh- awa directed by John Drewniak assisted in the mass orchestra of 750 at the first all-Canadian- Ukrainian National Music Fes- tival held in the Mutual Arena, Toronto.

PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "When it comes to ultimate and. absolute knowledge, you don't even know you're living," says a metaphysicist. Maybe not, but we feel certain we're living, as we don't believe it would cost us anything like what we're paying just to 'imagine we're living. LIONS CLUB ---- the aN1D SNOI " NOLNTUL attendance to win And it is taking a great deal of the candidates' trouble, time and money. CAN BE WORTHWHILE To newer men, such as Eddie Sargent and Charles Templeton it can be worthwhile. But to candidates such as Bob Nixon and Andrew Thomp- son, men well entrenched in the party and quite widely known, there is practically nothing to gain and a great deal to lose. By going along with the road- show approach--something en- tirely new in our Canadian politics -- the solid men are building up prestige and an audience for the newcomers, To an extent they must key their campaigns along the same lines as the other candidates-- if one man says he is "liberal" then all men must show him they are "liberal" too. And they always stand the chance of suffering by contrast to new men who could be. bet- ter platform performers, Messrs. Nixon and Thompson both probably would like to get out from under. But how can they do it now? Even if both decided to with- draw at the same time it would ESO et tA PS LPL LG look as though they were ning away. This is the best yet. It's a common thing to see. municipal officials try to avoid trouble by putting blame on the province. But... After the recent nursing / home fire at Kirkland Lake in ' which five lives were lost, peo- Ple landed on the local reeve for not having built a new home for the aged. The reeve said this had been held up by red tape in the pro- vincial department of welfare. In 1959 the local council passed a motion authorizing a new home. Last month -- five years later--plans finally were presented by the municipality to the department. Twelve other municipalities in the north have built or are building new homes. Kirkland Lake is the only one which hasn't. So where is the red tape?
