Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Our Energy Can Insure Canada's Great Future "Canadians are more given to ctitical self-examination than to boasting, which would indicate a becoming modesty, but once in a while it's-good to do a little honest' bragging -- and now is as good a time as any. This is an exhilarat- ing time in Canada. Of course we have problems, big ones, but who hasn't? And if we use some com- mon sense, we can solve them. If we add work and energy to the com- mon sense, there is a glowing future ahead. The country is booming, culturally and materially. Theatres, museums and other homes of the arts seem to be favored centennial projects, so much so that by the time they are all built the problem will be the shortage of artists to put life into the showcases. The demand for people with artistic talent will grow enormously. >The Canadian economy, strong through 1963, operated at a record pace in the first half of 1964 and seems certain to continue expand- ing in the months ahead. The cur- rent Bank of Montreal business re- view, for example, says there is "such an underlying feeling of con- fidence that spending by business and individuals can be expected to be sustained at very high levels", Trade figures are up and unem- ployment figures are down. Trade Minister Sharp has told Parliament that the present surge can only mean expanding markets in the "years to come. The Canadian Metal Mining Association predicts that our annual mineral output will in- crease from $3 billion in 1963 to $4 billion in 1970 -- "ore reserves in Canada, both known and potential, are such that there is practically no limitation. to expansion and growth for decades to come." In a world with a rapidly expand- ing population, constantly demand- ing a higher standard of living, we have vast treasures above and be- low ground -- millions of acres of rich soil, great expanses of forest, half of the world's known reserves of nickel ore, the world's biggest reserves of potash and uranium, vast quantities of iron ore, copper, lead. The list goes on and on. We are rich, too, in the sources of energy required to process' the raw resources -- oil, gas, hydro-electric power. ' We'll take our bumps, all right. There will be ups and downs. But unless we foul it up ourselves, the future can only be a rosy one, Nature has given us the means; the only question now is whether we have the good sense and the energy, the. human resources, to make it so. Migration To Cities : Legend has it that lemmings rush to the sea because they are suddenly dverwhelmed by an urge to commit duicide. The fact seems to be, how- éver, that they mass and migrate because they cannot satisfy their needs where they are: they eat and breed themselves out of their home area, start looking for a new one and end by destroying themselves. A report by the World Health Organization suggests that the rush of population to the cities is some- what like the rush of the lemnings to the sea. The report warns: "After the question of keeping world peace, metropolitan planning is probably the most serious single problem faced by man in the second half of the 20th centrury." ' Half a century ago Lord Bryce wondered how big cities had éscaped the obvious perils of crow- ding a great many people into a comparatively small space. He asked: "Can' such immunity be expected to continue?" The answer implicit in the WHO report is, "No." With agriculture demanding a smaller percentage of the popula- tion each year, the move to the cities is expected to grow. In the developing countries this migration may reach "catastrophic" propor- tions during the next two decades, according to the report. Polluted air, contaminated water, poor nutrition, noise as a "promi- nent evil' -- these are some of the problems to which the UN agency alerts the world. North America should 'not. have to be alerted. The evils of city migration, resulting largely from bad planning or no planning at all, are obvious in the United States and to a lesser extent in Canada. One 6f the prime exhibits is the blind urban sprawl of the so-called Golden Horseshoe, along Lake On- tario from Oshawa to the Niagara Peninsula. The continued migration does not have to be inevitable. But to reverse it, more imaginative and constructive government leadership is required. Discipline Required A shocking revelation has been made in a report presented to the House of Commons by the public accounts committee: Parliament has been defied by some deputy minis- ters. It would be bad enough if the defiance came from ministers, themselves elected as members of Parliament; but their deputies are civil servants, paid not to build up little bureaucratic empires but to carry out the orders of Parliament, through the elected government. This is how the Ottawa Journal reported the matter: "In its 1963 report the (public accounts) committee said it had Bye Oshawa Simes T. L, WILSON, Publisher C.

"In a report tabled this week the committee noted this response: " 'Although there were a few ex- ceptions, the majority of the deputy ministers concerned failed to res- pond to the suggestion." We fully agree with the Journal that committeemen appointed to examine the public accounts are the representatives of Parliament. When they ask for reports which are not forthcoming, Parliament's dignity and rights are affected, Obviously, if Parliament accepts the right of deputy ministers to ignore some of its orders they will claim the right to ignore all. The committee says it will: ask the ministers to make sure their departments report on action taken on committee recommendations. The Journal rightly concludes: "Ministers can be more dilatory than deputies and the committee should not have to go around just hoping people will answer its in- quiries, All the Commons has to do is: make clear that its committee has authority, support and a vital duty to perform: After that, let anyone defy it or delay it at their peril! Parliament has teeth and should use them." Re eae 'CIVIL RIGHTS MUST NOT BECOME A CAMPAIGN ISSUE' READERS' VIEWS QUEEN'S PARK U.S. May Provide Government Ideas BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Federal NDP member Douglas Fisher has put forward a proposal that deserves more consideration than it probably will get. Mr. Fisher bluntly has sug- gested that we should change over to the U.S. system of gov- ernment. The NDP member's proposal is worth thinking about, not from the view-point of it ever coming about. We won't see the day when we have a congressional sys- tem in Canada, But, at a time when our parliamentary system has grown out-dated, it is a needed stimulant.to discussion on how that system may be modern- ized and adjusted to meet the requirements of the' day. TWO BENEFITS In the U.S. system the execu- tive, non-elected except for the president and vicepresident, is separate from the Congress, On all major matters, except in cases of extreme emergency, it is subject to the will and ap- proval of the Congress. In the British system, of course, the government is part of Parliament. Mr. Fisher sees in the U.S, system two main 'benefits: One is that the electeg rep- resentatives have some real YOUR HEALTH responsibility -- and really to do. The second is that it puts the government under some real in- spection and restraints. We have been very dis- inclined in Canada to take from our meighbor in the ways of government. Mr. Fisher says we have been '"'snobs'" about it. But the one major improve- ment we have made has been based on the U.S. system. This is the much greater use of parliamentary committees. Here in Ontario we have gone further than any jurisdiction, in Canada in the use of commit- tees. This was brought about by former premier Leslie Frost-- an admirer of the U.S. system-- and has been a very- practical advance, In_ the must make committees. We have not gone this far here. But today, considerable legislation is being processed through committee, and other important work is being done in the downstairs rooms. This has been good, both in keeping members busy and in more thorough handling of our publie affairs. On this precedent alone the writer would like to see more thought along the lines of Mr. Fisher's, something U.S. all its way legislation through Answers Require Careful Checking By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr, Molner: I am not a person who readily gives compliments. I. am_ sincere. Your newspaper columns. are the best I have ever read, down-to-earth so that those who write to you can understand; fair; intelligent, on, on and on. This will amuse you, I am sure, I have clipped and saved a large number of your ar- ticles. Is all this your own work or that of a clinic or a group of doctors? Anyhow, keep up the good work.--ECB. Thank you for your flattering words, We'll try to keep. up. That isn't an '"'editorial we," I mean '"'we." For no, this is not a one-man undertaking. No single person can have the knowledge to tackle the wide array of questions. I have two partners in the preparation of this column. All three of us frequently ask the advice of authorities in spe- cialized fields. Besides this we receiv considerable help un- asked--but very welcome--from doctors who suggest the addi- tion of certain ideas. Some- times they tell us in person; sometimes the suggestions come in letters from doctors in other parts of the country. It is our regular practice not to jump too quickly onto the bandwagon when some new treatment or technique is an- nounced. Not all of these live up to early expectations. We pre- fer to wait, until substantial study and experience has earned reliable support. - In this I think we agree with most physicians--not to be the first to accept every new. an- nouncement as gospel, but cer- tainly not the last to abandon old concepts when newer ones prove themselves superior. Dear Dr. Molner: Is it harm. ful to take thyroid pills to help become pregnant?--LLM. Thyroid extracts will encour- age pregnancy only if you are, ogi a low in thyroid activ- y. Thyroid materials should NOT be taken without medical ad- vice. They should be taken only . if tests have shown that you need them. If you don't need them, they can be harmful. If you DO need them, they will not be harmful if taken in suitable amounts. Let vour doc- tor decide that, Dear Dr. Molner: What could cause a_ yellowish discharge from: the 'navel? Should I be worried about it? I am 53-- MRS, RA, Doubtless an infection. Yes. I'd worry about it to the extent of having my doctor diagnose the precise trouble. Then let him cure _ it. Dear Dr, Molner: I have a friend who insists that females never have gout--that it is a man's disease, I admit that-you hear of more men than women with it, but do the latter have it, even though rarely?--MRS, IK. Yes, they may have gout, too. It is mot known why, but 95 per cent of the cases occur in men; five per cent in women. Dear Doctor: Does removal of the gall bladder shorten a person's life?--SK. A gall bladder is more a con- venience than a necessity, a storage place for a reserve supply of bile, a digestive juice produced by the liver. Some- times (but far from always) a person has to adjust eatirg habits somewhat after removal of the gall bladder but this doesn't shorten life. COMPLAINT Dear Sir: Please accept this letter not as a slander against your fair city, but as a complaint against one of the citizens' paid services in your city, namely the police department. I was involved in a very un- fortunate incident on the evening of Monday, July 27th. I was driving down by the lakeshore close to the Jubilee Pavilion, when my car ran out of gas. My companion and myself got out and started to push the car towards Simcoe street south, hoping to find a service station. We had just reached the top of a small incline, when the car started to roll. My companion jumped in the car to steer it, while I rode the back bumper. We were not rolling over five miles per hour at any time. A car approached us from the rear with high beams on. The driver of this car was one of your police officers. He pulled up beside us, and told us to get off the road. I explained to him or shall I say tried to, that we had run. out of gas, and that we were looking for a gas TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS ®Aug. 5, 1964... A band of Iroquois Indians slew 200 settlers and cap- tured 100 more in a surprise pre-dawn raid at the village of Lachine 275 years ago today--in 1689. They chose the hour of the massacre well, surrounding every house in the village near Montreal at the height of a storm. A monument in the Lachine cemetery recalls the event. 1583--Sir Humphrey Gil- bert proclaimed England's authority over Newfound- land. , 1935--Folk - philosopher and humorist Will Rogers died in an Alaska air crash.

So far the church as col- lected 1,200 pair. station. He. just looked at me and said, "Tough luck, fellow', and promptly drove away. I think because of this incident I have lost all my respect and admiration for the Oshawa Po- lice Force. The 'esteem the citi- zens of Oshawa hold for these public servants is much too high in my way of thinking Leonard M. Kirby Ajax BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO August 5, 1924 A Grand Historical Pageant, featuring pioneer wagons and beauty queens, was held during the Oshawa 'Old Home Week'. A baseball match between Osh- awa and Belleville was held at Alexandra Park as part of the festivities. Rev. N. P. Hodson preached at the Presbyterian Church after an absence of 12 years. He had served at Oshawa for '42 years before accepting a charge in Minnesota. The Dunbar Bell Ringers gave a masterly program at the Osh- awa Chautauqua. The evening's entertainment closed with a lec- ture on Anglo-Saxon ideals. Earl Graham of Oshawa tried to harvest a 12-acre field of rye which had grown too tall for his harvester. A boy followed and helped the rye through the ma- chine. Mr. Graham had to thresh the crop in the field. Rev. C. W. DeMille took up his duties as minister of King Street Methodist Church. He had spent five years in the educa- tional departments of Methodist Sunday Schools, Ten men and five women ten- nis players from Toronto play- ed in 17 events against Oshawa players at the Division street courts. The visiting team won 14 of the games. Streets were gay with bunting, flags, streamers and electrical illumination, as part of the 'Old Home Week' festivities. The Four Corners saw a blaze of lights for a block in each direc tion and the whole effect made an impression not readily for- gotten.

Rod- ger Mitchell, Liberal MP - for Sudbury. ; By D. ROGER MITCHELL 'OTTAWA--While the rest of Canada tussles with the flag issue and bilingualism and bi- culturalism, my city of Sudbury is involved with a hassle pecu- liarly its own, Like the selection of a new - Canadian flag, and the align- ments of two separate cultures within our one country, Sud- bury's problem must be settled with a view to the future, and the issue once decided must be lived with harmoniously by all' our Sudbury citizens. Residents of the Nickel capi- 'tal' of the world are divided in their choice of a centennial memorial. One segment of the population prefers something utilitarian, namely, a_ police station, Another segment would go even farther in what they call "practical considerations', and would forego a memorial entirely in the interest of mu- nicipal thrift. But a third segment of our population is struggling heart and soul and fighting tooth and nail for a cenetnnial project which has won much admira- tion and endorsement from cen- tennial authorities on the fed- eral and provincial levels, des- pite the fact that the project has not yet received a go- ahead from our Sudbury city council. This third project calls for a carillon, belt museum, and his- torical museum, to be installed on the campus of our new non- denominational Laurentian Uni- versity of Sudbury. This seat of higher learning will evolve within the next 10 years into a $30,000,000 educa- tional complex; and as of now, $10,000,000 is being spent for the initial buildings, which are lo- cated on a high scenic stretch of ground, elevated above three of our beautiful mid - north lakes. Sudbury's interest in a cen- tennial project was activated more poe Bh ing ago. Last year's city council appointed a" representative citizens' comme tee to make a choice from" among 30 or more ideas which' had been submitted, To this. committee came a q and unique offer from one of. North America's oe: carilloneurs, Dr. Percival Price, of the University of Michigan, Behind the offer lay a ¢ story. Dr. Price has asse ' ae es world's finest col-- lections of antique and histori- cal-bells, He would donate this collection to the people of Sud--- bury and the entire mid-north, | in memony of a son who was. lost in our wilderness area, The bell offer was to be" coupled with a carilion, and the- committee rounded out the pro- ject wtih the addition of an- historical museum, After con-" sideration of all proejcts for several months, it 'was this" carillon with museums that our. citizens' committee voted to ems, dorse, ; | Immediately thereafter the battle lines were drawn, A. group of our citizens dubbed ~ the choice impractical. It was. even ridiculed, and coarsely at? tacked 'by some who were im-.« pervious to the effect such am' installation might have in im-« proving the public image of Sudbury, which the rest of+ Canada tends to think of stilt" as a '"'mining camp". I think I helped to dispel this feeling by the visit a few weeks ago of a group of parliamentarians from all parts of Canada. Made apprehensive by the outcry form dissidents, Sud- bury city council hastily set up a centennial sub - committee within the council. This 'five. man group promptly scrapped the bells--as the proejct' has come to be called -- in favor of | a new police station. But the project may not rest there.
