WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1964--PAGE 6- Canada Enters Autumn In Healthy Condition _ Canada will go into the fall and winter months in a strong econ- 'omic position. The mid-year review of capital investment in Canada for 1964 raised the estimate by more than $700 million to a total of $10,- 800 million. If the forecast is ac- curate, capital spending this year will be 16 per cent higher than in 1963; the greatest year-to-year rise since 1956. In this review Trade Minister Sharp said that most of fhe up- ward adjustment occurred in the business, sector of the economy, and that the largest single factor here is higher .spending by the manufacturing industries. Manu- facturers now expect to invest $1,750,000,000. for new buildings, machinery and equipment, plus $750,000,000 on repairs of existing capital investment. Since the new estimate is nearly one-third higher than manufacturing's capital spend- ing in 1963, this item is highly significant to employment pros- pects. All told, capital spending in the business sector is now forecast at $6,371,000,000, an increase of nearly $1 billion over last year. Spending on new housing is ex- pected to exceed $2 billion, up $300 million; and an increase of nearly $300 million is forecast in spending by government depart- ments, to a total of $1,625,000,000. Only decline will be spending on institutional services, due mainly to a drop of $129,000,000 in school construction, to a total of about $800 million, This years' increase in capital investment is being regarded by financial experts as only one por- tent of a possible long-term boom for Canada. It is predicted that spending by business in the next decade, to add new facilities and replace machinery installed in the 1950's that is now becoming ob- solete, could be double that of the past decade. Another factor is that there has been no build-up of in- ventories to put a damper on the current expansion. Still another is a new wave of family formations as the bumper crop of. wartime and postwar babies begin marry- ing, buying homes, furnishings and so on; the birth rate rose from 21.6 per 100,000 of population in 1940 to 23.3 in 1945 and a high of 28.9 in 1947. The signs and portents suggest a long period of new job creation in Canada. But in today's highly competitive world there is no as- sured prosperity. All parts of the economy will have to strive to keep costs and prices down. Larger House Quorum It is unfortunate and discourag- ing that a private bill introduced by Stanley Knowles, NDP member for Winnipeg. North Centre, seeking to raise the Commons quorum from 20 to 50 members has been talked out, the Port Arthur News Chronicle believes. "For one thing, the public might take a better view of Parlia- ment if it were decided that at least 50 members, instead of 20, were needed to transact the business for which 265 were elected." We agree with the News Chron- icle that the current attendance record of the MPs is not impres- sive. Indeed, there has been barely* a quorum of 20 members in the Commons on several occasion dur- ing the current session. When Mr. Knowles rose to present his case there were 29 MPs in the Commons and at the conclusion of this debate the number had dwindled to 22. The paper goes on: "Tt. would seem the public has a right to expect at least 50 members out of 265 to be on the job at any one time. Everyone realizes that MPs have duties outside the House. They have office work and com- mittee work to do. They also have to concern themselves with special problems relating to their ridings. Conceding all these things, there seems to be no reason why at least 20 per cent of the membership of the House cannot be present when the nation's business is being transacted. "The affairs of Parliament ought to be the country's most important business. People in industry and non-political professions have plenty of outside calls on thejr time. but no executive would be content with the operation of his plant with only one thirteenth of"the work force on hand. If it could run efficiently at that level, he might be excused " for thinking that the whole opera- tion was grossly overstaffed. "MPs continually stress the price- less importance of Parliament and are always squabbling and nag- ging over its rights. The public might be convinced to take these views more seriously if the .MPs themselves were to admit that it should take more than eight per cent of the membership of the Com- mons to run it." Promising Politicians One of the basic bits of legal advice it "get it in writing." Perhaps it will be necessary for the voters to insist on the same policy for electoral promises, the Kitchener Record suggests, and continues: Many of us have long suspected that what the politicians offer on campaign platforms and what they find it expedient to do when elected are light years apart. This suspicion was strengthened in the House of Commons debate when the postmaster-general was taxed with having promised one She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

Perhaps, in some cases, these things are inevitable because cir- cumstances all too often refuse to tailor themselves to electoral pro- mises. What seems to be involved here is a subtle idea that a successful election campaign automatically ab- solves the winner from any re- quirement to observe the terms on 'which, he sought public support. Politicians are usually clever enough to qualify their offers and leave room for retreat. What the Commons debate did was to con- firm what many have suspected, and added skepticism about our political process is hardly a desirable. deve- lopment at this troubled time in our history.

In that 'earlier year, the farmer received * cents or approxi- mately one-quarter of the retail price of each loaf. But by last year, the farmer's share of the more expensive loaf had fallen to 2.5 cents or less than one- eighth of the retail price of each loaf. The baker's share had risen from six cents to 11.8 cents a loaf, and the retailer's share had risen from: 2.4 cents to 4.2 cents a loaf. Milling and trans- portation costs had also risen. QUEEN'S PARK ions he planned first visit by Ca- nadian parliamentarians to Russia has had to be cancelled because all participants in the proposed three - week trip are held to their duties here, in the absence of the hoped-for sum- mer recess.. This tour would have made big headlines in the newspapers, if it had not been cancelled. Of course you first read about it in this column; full details were printed on Aug. 17, and a full seven days later the official announcement. of the plans was released by govern- ment sources in Ottawa. PRAISING THE PM Prime Minister Pearson has received many communications for Canadians on the subject of Mike's Maple -- some agreeing with his proposals, others dis- approving. Among the former was a telegram from the ene- mies' camp: "Bravo at last. A Coroner Proposes Breathalyzer Test - By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Toronto's head- line-making chief coroner, Dr. Morton Shulman has put com- pulsory breathalizer tests in the news again. Dr. Shulman has come out with a strong statement in favor of the tests. And he is only the most recent of a num- ber of prominent men who have advocated breathalizers by compulsion. Dr. Shulman's proposal was immediately rejected here. And it was particularly reassuring to see that the press of the prov- ince was almost solidly against him. There is no change in the situ- ation regarding the drunk-test- ing apparatus, So long as it leads to a crimi- nal charge--"drunk" or "'im- paired" driving--it can't be ser- iously considered. If a minor charge--an offence under the Highway Traffic Act, for instance--were put in the statutes, then there might be a more favorable reception, But even with this there would be many pros and cons, SPOONER TROUBLE Some local officials are. still giving Minister of Municipal Af- fairs Wilfred Spooner a rough ride. This is a shame, and not de- served. Mr. Spooner is the best minister this department has had in a long time. Most notably he has not played patty-cake with local of- ficials, but has gone ahead and done things. This, of course, is partly re- sponsible for his troubles. Municipal people have been pampered for years and now they expect it. One also wonders, however, how much a ceftain Toronto newspaper which is out: for his scalp is responsible. This paper--whose owner was tied in on a proposition which was turned down, largely through Mr. Spooner"s stand-- has consistently been campaign- ing for his removal. CLAIMS HE ERRED It even went so far the other day as to say that he should be shifted because he had ad- vocated a legislative change which it said was wrong. And WW the authority it gave for its statement he was wrong was Metro Toronto Council, which had "studied"' the question con- cerned and favored another course of action. About all you can say for this fs that going on the authoricy of "study" by a Toronto council is about as reliable as the ad- vice of a horse-race tout on how you should invest your savings. To the credit of Premier Ro- barts he, so far, has shown no sign of being influenced in any way by this campaign. To date the premier has re- sisted the usual efforts of the Toronto press to dominate him. He may or may not be able to continue the resistance. Others de tried and have had to give n. great Canadian has given Can- ada its long-desired emblems of sovereignty, Pierre joins me in our great admiration for a man of courage and wisdom." The telegram was. signed 'Corinne K. Sevigny"; she is the wife of Hon, Pierre Sevigny, who was associate minister of defence .n the Diefenbaker administration. While he was an MP, Mr. Sev- igny made strenuous but inef- fective representations to Mr. D to the end that the Conserva- tive government should -intro- duce a new flag in line with Quebec aspirations. VOX POPULI While on the subject of the flag, letters from readers make it abundantly clear to me that Canadians heartily disapprove of the present . politicking in Parliament by MPs of all par- ties pn the flag issue. Typically, C. Henwood. of Guelph comments: "We are tir- ing of the conduct of our juven- iles, but now are plagued with our senior delinquents at Ot- tawa--or, as the voters around here call them, our senile delin- quents. Isn't there one single man out of our 265 MPs who could shame them: into behav- ing as responsible representa- tives of the people?" WHOSE RECESS? Bert Cadieu, Conservative MP for Meadow Lake, Sask., says that "the press called 'filibuster' and the government cried 'obstruction', but the members of the Press Gallery in Ottawa never saw fit to in- form the Canadian people of the true nature of the discussion in the chamber because they them- selves are disgruntled at hav- ing no recess." Of course, when Parliament is in session, there are many workers around Parliament Hill who must remain on the job. So this summer, the secretaries and clerks of ministers and MPs, the staff of the library and reading room and restaur- ant and barber shops, the other civil servants, and even the little page boys, all have had no summer holiday. Many members of the Press Gallery have been away. If the MPs want to spend their sum- mer holiday in debate, that's one thing; but this year they have supplied unanswerable ar- guments in favor of fixed dates for parliamentary sessions--so that everyone can plan, and can enjoy, holidays. BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO ~ The Ontario Regiment Band, under the leadership of Band- master J. Broadbent, repeated its 1938 victory at CNE and re- tained the trophy and $350 cash prize. Bandsman George Hood also repeatec by winning the gold medal for best cornetist among six competing bands. Close to 6,000 Oshawa pupils resumed their studies after summer vacation, Three new teachers had been added to the - public school staff and three at the collegiate, while the Sepa- tate School Board made one change in its staff. Lt.-Col. R. B. Smith, former officer commanding the On- tario (Tank) Regiment, had vol- unteered his services should war break out in Europe. The offer was made to Attorney Gen- eral G. D. Conant, KC, asking for leave of 'absence from his position as Division Court Clerk. A 2}-pound tfout measuring 3744 inches in length was caught by William Trewin of Oshawa at Lake Weslemkoom 'in the Ban- croft district north of Belleville. Residents in the area said it was the largest ever caught in the lake. Sept. 2, 1939 Local grocers advertised peaches, number one freestone, at 39 cents a six-quart basket. Three - woodworking firms used 15 million feet of lumber and employed about 200 people, making cases for the shipment of General Motors products overseas. Ald. Finley Dafoe of Oshawa, was unanimously chosen CCF candidate in Ontario riding for the forthcoming federal election, The Skeet Gun Club held a successful shoot on Labor Day. George Jewell, T. "Benson, N. Felt, H. Palmer, V, .Peacock, W. Trewin and George Robert shaw had close scores. Fourteen school fairs were planned for Ontario County during September. Oshawa show was scheduled for Sept. 26 at Alexandra Park. It was reporied at a meeting of 'the 'WMS executive board of the United' Church Bay of Quinte Conference that the allo- cation of $77,500, for head office had been accepted. Remote Island People Struggle With Poverty AHOUSAHT, B.C. (CP)--On the far west coast of British Columbia, on an island isolated by grey fog and sea, live 400 Canadians, of whom 12 have Jobs. They live in rotting -- fire traps, as many as 16 to a room. They exist on hope and prom- ises and welfare in a no-man's- land between provincial and fcderal government. They are the people of Ahou- saht village on remote Flores Isfand, midway up the west coast of Vancouver Island. Terry Hammond, a Victoria Colonist reporter who visited the area, says: "Ahousaht is a ghost town whose people haven't got . the word, Its homes are covered with moss,. ravaged by decay. Broken windows are boared over or stuffed with rags. An- cient siding hangs in tatters: '"'A government report re- cently claimed 49 of its 53 In- YOUR HEALTH dian houses were fit for human eccupancy but it didn't say by whose standards--not by mine; not by yours." The people of Ahousaht are traditionally fishermen in one o: the cruellest areas of a.cruel coast, LACK FERRY They are bewildered -- the things they can do are more and more denied to them. There is no ferry to take them from their isolation so they may find other things to do. Mark Atleo is a member of the Ahousaht. band council, "There is very much plan- ning," he says. "Always there are new plans for this or that. But after the planning, nothing." Paul Sam, 70, hereitary spokesman for the band, wa' born in Ahousaht.- : "The Indian and the white man are brothers now, but the - Uncommon Disease Difficult To Treat -- By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molnér: Please dis- cuss porphyria. My grandson has it. Different doctors claim they don't know too much about it as it is practically a new dis- ease--Mrs. G.H. Well, perhaps not exactly "new." It was first recognized about 40 years ago. It is not common and it is not simple to treat. There are certain pigments (coloring matter) in the system called porphyrin. If there is some disorder in how the body metabolizes -- or handles: -- these pigments, we call it por- phyria. It appears to be heredit- ary. ~ Commonest is the acute, in- termittent type. There are epi- sodes of severe pain which may be in the' abdomen or in the extremities; the patient feels weak and there may even be some paralysis, Occasionally there may be mental disturb- ance. One of the visible signs is that the urine becomes red. There is no known cure. The individual has a peculiar re- sponse to materials occurring naturally in the body. The treatment, therefore, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 2, 1964... One of the most remark- able feats in the history of seamanship ended when Capt, J. C. Voss of Victoria, B.C., arrived in England 60 years ago today--in 1904-- after almost cireumnavigat- ing the globe in an Indian dugout canoe. Voss took three years, three months and 12 days to cover. the 40,000 miles, solely under sail. The canoe had been carved by a Nootka Indian from whom Voss bought the vessel for $70, The canoe, the Tilikum, now is on ex- hibit in Victoria. Voss died in California in 1922. 1666--The Great Fire of London began. 1945--Japan formerly sur- rendered after the Second World War. is aimed at relieving the pain, and at avoiding conditions which can touch off further attacks. For relief, tranquilizers (but not barbiturates) and occasion- ally steroids (cortisone - .ype) drugs are used. Barbiturates are known to be a factor in precipitating attacks. Sulfa drugs also should be avoided for the same reason. Both of these drugs should not be used by a person who has had an attack, or might be sub- ject to the disease because a parent is known to have had it In addition, heavy-metal pois- oning (arsenc, lead and some -less common ones) can touch off attacks. If the skin is particularly af- fected, direct exposure to sun- light should be avoided. Although porphyria for- tunately is not common, it is a malady that should be sus- pected when the patient's symp- toms are obscure pain and weakness which cannot be ex- plained otherwise. Dear Dr. Molner: My 15-year- old daughter is allergic to wheat, corn, rye, barley, oat- meal and white potatoes. Can you suggest any substitutes in the line of dry cereals or breads --Mrs. R.. That includes almost all of the popular cereals. The one you did not list may turn out to be' helpful -- rice, which is available in breakfast food form can be served cooked, and can be used in bread, Some baker- ies will make bread from rice flour by special arrangement, or you could do it yourself. You also might try gluten - free bread. Still another possibility would be soy bean products. Dear Dr. Molner: I had a stroke a year ago and was unable to walk. Now I can walk again, but unsteadily. I wobble and lack co-ordination. How long will this last? Can you give me any leads?--E.P. No, not very specifically, al- though your ability to walk in- dicates progress. Perhaps a support -- a cane, or even a brace on your leg---would help steady your gait, If you are re- ceiving physiotherapy, or have been to rehabilitation institute, the therapist can give you a bet- ter estimate than I can. over 3,000,000 SATISFIED CUSTOMERS AT KING OPTICAL!
