With $6,009 apiece of tax-free money at their annual dis- posal, our MPs don't need' to travel to and from their constituencies by air at public expense. They can and should pay their own way. The Spectator goes on: There should be no tears shed in favor ef any give-away travel pro- grams for our highly-paid solons. While MPs on official busin ess should be able to travel at public expense, all personal junkets should be paid out of their own. pockets. And, by official business, we mean journeys as members of house or government committees, or as par- liamentary representatives. at im- Warning About Lenses Legislative authorities should pay close attention to the message conveyed in an editorial in the cur- rent edition of the Canadian Me- dical Association Journal. The message is that legislation is need- ed in Canada to govern the fitting of contact lenses. 'The journal says that most of the estimated 400,000 Canadians wearing contact lenses had them fitted by "non-medical personnel who may not have had. the neces- gary equipment or\ knowledge to offer competent advice in this respect ...

The Changing of the, Guard ceremony is the lure for thousands of tour- ists, and Ottawa and the country profits from it, The only other at- traction the city has is the daily 'comedy in the Commons, And of the two, the Guards provide a much better lasting impression. Ottawa should retain its summer ceremony. If there is any criticism of it, it is that only one unit has been given the duty. The Second Battalion, Canadian Guards, has always provided the men. This could and should be changed, so that the battalions of the perma- nent force rotate on the Hill, just as they do in Germany and in other overseas stations where Canadians are involved in NATO or UN duties. The stint of ceremonial drill will do the units more good than harm, as long as they do not remain so long on the job that they think drilling to be the prime function of a soldier. portant national or international functions. It ridiculous for MPs to travel at the taxpayers' expense if they are attending to their own constituency business. This is particularly so when so many of them would be going» home by air every week or so on fence-mending missions if travel costs were almost nil. The $6,000 tax-free sum was de- signed to take care of expenses in- curred in maintaining two homes, one at Ottaw& and one at the constituency base. It should take care of travel from one .ome to the' other. ' The sum of money involved is antsize. That is not the point. What matters is that MPs show more signs of taking their jobs seriously, They should set an example in this age of the high rise budget by cut- ting public expenses when they can. caused by a foreign body trapped under a lens. Exerience shows that repeated examinations are needed by means other than the usual fluorescein test, the doctors say. They recom- mend that before anyone is fitted with contact lenses a full medical history be taken and a complete examination performed by an ophthalmologist. The editorial states: "In the face of an increasing demand for micro- corneal lenses, especially for cosme- tic reasons, it seems of immediate importance that. both medical and non-medical governing bodies should support and stimulate the provision of legislation designed to protect the public from the risks entailed when medically unqualified persons fit contact lenses." And that's an expert opinion. Other Editors' Views LAKE LEVELS LOW Brockville Recorder and Times While the early woes of the river- front were not shared by property owners in the back lakes area, people in the Rideau chain are now protesting the low water levels. Latest to join the club are the people around Lyndhurst and Singleton lakes where the water has dropped 17 inches since June 2. This is a tremendous drop in such a short time and certainly merits the attention of the Department of Lands and Forests. Water levels on the Rideau should be much easier to control than those on the St. Lawrence despite all the dry weather. But it requires the active interest of government agencies to accomplish the feat because of water rights which were "sold to private interests years ago, ~ FISHING ON EACH OTHER'S SIDE OTTAWA REPORT Battle Less Deadly Than Our Traffic By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Would you _toler- ate with complacency a repeti- tion of the slaughter of our boys in uniform during the Second World War? The toll of ki!led and wounded on our highways last year amounted to 130,143. This was nine times the average annual casualty list of our armed forces in the years 1939-45, These shameful statistics of our road slaughter last year wil be announced shortly by the bureau of statistics. If all this record number of highway victims were put into one city, that would be our 10th largest community. They would outnum he population of Windsor or Regina, but not quite' match that of Quebec City or Calgary. Our highways saw a record 335,938 'accidents during 1963, up 26 per cent in two years, and they occurred at the rate of one every 94 seconds through- out the whole year. Canadians cannot read these figures with complacency, any more than we wou!d tolerate the destruction of Windsor or Regina by hostile action. EVERYONE PAYS The bill for the material dam- age involved is estimated at $102,210,000; or more. than $20 for every family in Canada. Like all the road accident sta- tistics, this also has soared to a record, 10 per cent above 1962. Not even the accident - driver' or the non-driver es- capes this cost, even if the stream of blood-letting passes them by. The price tag is ap- portioned in large part by in- surance premiums, which af- fect even. the non-driver who hires a taxi. And of course no- body can be protected or com- pensated for the physical dam- age, while the whole country is robbed of the productivity of all those who are temporarily or permanently incapacitated by injury. The blame must lie in part with gutless governments, and TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS The Third French Repub- lic was proclaimed 94 years ago today--in 1870--follow- ing the capture of Napoleon JH during the Franco-Prus- sian War. With the fall of the empire in France a gov- ernment of national defence tried to continue the war with Germany but France capitulated the following year. The Third Republic was made official with the decree of January, 1875. 1909--The first Boy Scout rally was held in England. 1929--The German dirigi- ble, Graf Zeppelin, com- pleted an around-the-world flight. First World War Fifty years ago today, in 1914, the French moved to block the encirclement of their central positions and vulnerable right wing ar- mored forces around Ver- dun. The French brought their troops on their left flank on to the offensive. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day, in 1939, Britain's Royal Air Force bombed German warships in the Kiel Canal.

American tourists visiting here have expressed to me, with the reserve and understatement becoming a visitor, their horror at the lack of courtesy and in- considerateness of our get- there-first-or-bust drivers. The American in general is a far more kindly man behind the wheel than we are. As a visitor to the States, I have often noted that the unroadworthy car and the unroadworthy through 'ack of skill, shortage of patience cr exeess of alcohol -- are both, more rare in that couriry than YOUR HEALTH on the roads of Ontario and Quebec most familiar to me. PLACID POLITICIANS But the major blame must lie with our politicians, whe would sooner see 4,196 Canadians die painful, messy and often linger- ing deaths on our highways, as in 1963, than risk losing the vote of one maverick road-hog by curbing his freedom to kill. If the citizens of Regina were all killed or injured by some curable agent, a dozen MPs would at once be on. their feet in Parliament to move the ad- journment of the debate so that the House could discuss 'a matter of urgent national im- portance." But no MP has ever given as much thought to the plight of the 130,143 Canadians killed, maimed or injured. on our highways last year. The situation is ballooning so disastrous!y that something must be done to reverse the trend which will be shown by the coming announcement of the statistics of last year's rec- ord and intolerable massacre. Simple Treatment For Pruritus Ani By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD. Dear Dr. M% Can you suggest something to do about pruritus ani? My grandson, 19, has been bothered with it for two years. He has been to many doctors who in turn give a pre- scription for an ointment. He has used at least a dozen ointments with no results. He changes underclothing ~ every day and sometimes _ bathes twice a day.--C.M. Pruritus -ani (rectal can be an abomination. Let's consider the princpalt causes, First, is there any local cause --hemorrhoids, or fissures in the rectum which may be pro- ducing a discharge which irri- tates the skin and makes it itch? I assume that if the young man has seen so many doctors, he has had a thorough rectal examination by at least some of them. If not, and he thas been using salves suggested on a Sight-unseen basis, then have him- examined. Second, allergy or sensitivity to certain foods can be the cause. Alcohol is one. At 19, he may not touch hard liquor, but what about beer or wine? Along with this, antibiotics can cause such itching, in some the drugs have been stopped. Has he had a course of antibiotics? GALLUP POLL itching) Third, over - medication can be a factor. Salves can be very fine if used for a brief time to overcome the itching, but they can backfire by keeping the skin moist and soft and vulner- able to irritants which other- wise might cause no itching, If this young man has used up a dozen kinds of ointments in two years, this could be important. I suggest keeping a bit of dry cotton at the rectal opening. I have known this simple and cheap treatment to do more good than many ounces of oint- ments, (An added tip: Keep the area clean, but wash with plain water. Soap can be an irritant. Then dry carefully, apply the small wad of cotton, and see whether it helps.) When the foregoing sugges- tions do not bring relief and the Situation is really severe, an undercutting of the skin is Sometimes necessary, to .sever the local nerve supply to the surface area. I also recall a friend who had suffered for years and in des- peration went, on his family's physician's advice, to a psychi- atrist, Several sessions and a few weeks later the trouble vanished entirely. Evidently, in this case, extreme nervous ten- sion, played a part in the con- dition, Most Canadians Want 'Campaign Fund Detail By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion (World Copyright reserved) A big majority of Canadians --about eight in 10--believe that political parties should be re- quired to make public the sources of their campaign funds. Little more than one in 10 say that details of party funds should not be published. Opinions on this subject have not changed much in the past 15 years. In 1949. the same The trend question: question was asked and 75 per cent said yes, party funds should be made public; 15 per cent said no, In 1961,-when the question was asked again, 84 per cent were for publication of party funds; 11 per cent against.

Little children can get ter- ribly lonely too, says a recent report of a British agency, and such loneliness can seriously alter their character and make it difficult to cope with society when they grow up. New city living conditions, with skyscraper apartment buildings containing families that in past generations would have -hagd houses, are at the root of the trouble. Pre-school children who live above the fifth floor aren't al- lowed out to play, says the re- port, because their mothers can't run downstairs quickly enough in case of trouble. Deprived of the company of other children, the lonely young- sters enter school with scarred personalities and have great difficulty entering into commu- nty life. "Thus the first seeds of iso- lation and mental trouble ate sown," says the report of the British National Council of So- cial Service. CAN CAUSE SUICIDE "The lack of opportunities of learning how to develop normal human relations may cause a child to become suicide-prone in later life, and add yet one more to the 5,000 suicides recorded each year in Britain. "How happily a person gets along as an adult in his job, in his family and social life, de- pends a great deal on how he got along with other children when he was young." The report also deals with other forms of loneliness usu- ally overlooked by people who themselves have 'healthy and fulfilled" relations with the world around them. There is 'weekend loneli- ness," widespread among pro- fessional workers who are too busy during the week to make outside friendships and _ find themselves at the weekend "without a soul to speak to." There is 'retirement loneli- ness" that strikes professional workers "who find too late that they have made no personal friends." HARMS MARRIAGES Wives of travelling salesmen and transport workers face long and unhealthy periods at home alone, the report says, and this can have disastrous effects on a marriage. And there is even something the report calls "hire purchase loneliness" that plagues whole families who have to devote their entire income to paying off instalment plan debts and who have no money left for en- tertainment. Persons between the ages of 30 and 50 are the most prone to loneliness, the report finds. eh ah nt ais : QUEEN'S PARK Conflict Question | Needs Examination : V By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Once again there be fale o! "scandal" in thes e The suspension of John H. Campbell as director of admin- istration of the Ontario Securi- ties Commisson has the gos- : sips buzzing. : Not much is known about the Campbell case. Attorney-Gen- eral Arthur Wishart gave no details. And about the only con- crete things we know are that apparently some dealing in stock is involved and that Mr. Campbell himself, -- claiming he did nothing morally wrong, says Mr. Wishart did the right thing in suspending him. One possible valuable off- shoot of the affair is that it could get us more down-to- earth on conflict of interest in the civil service, and perhaps even in the government itself, BECAME FRIENDS One definite factor in the Campbell case is that the' sus- pended administrator got friendly with Mr. and Mrs. George MacMillan, the promot- ers of Windfall Mines, the com- pany involved, How much of a conflict this. might mean isn't at all certain. It could be innocent. But for present purposes it illustrates a condition which is PARAGRAPHICAL. WISDOM Because a man has a right to his opinion is no excuse for his going around boring people with them. "Statistics show that people who do hard work: are more likely than others to have ar- thritis." Thfs sounds plausible, as a person who works his fin- gers to the bone is most likely to have bone trouble, Of course, persons reired from regular employment should be given part-time work so that they will be able to support their hobbies. "Researchers find that a low hum will keep mosquitoes away." This effect, however, isn't achieved by snoring in the key of D-flat. Most people who had an un- happy childhood consider this much better than having no childhood at all. For many parents, time passes slowest in the interval between their children's return from summer camp to the date school opens, READERS' VIEWS EXTREMISM Dear Sir: Referring to the comments made by Senator Barry Gold- water on the Republican plat- form that extremism in defence of liberty is no vice and mod- eration in pursuit of justice is no virtue. The fact@s that exterminating all the human race by an atom- ic war is a crime that cannot be justified especially in this age of advanced knowledge (Acts 17:30), either can ex- tremism bring liberty to the wicked. God said that He shall destroy those that destroy the earth (Rev, 11:18, 9:4-6, Isa 66:1, Acts 7:49, Matt, 22:44). Also if God the creator of this vast universe thought that ex- tremism was the only answer for this 'world's people He wouldn't have sent His only be- gotten Son Jesus Christ into this world through -whom we may enjoy a more abundant life, nor would the rainbow still appear in the clouds (Gen. 9:8-18, John 10:10, 2-Peter 3:9). God expects more from = us than He got frem those in the days before Christ and what happened then in the Old Testa- ment times is an example for our Jearning (1 Corinth. 10:1-11, Rom. 15:4). It's evident everywhere. that the fact the devil has got such a hold of many of this world's people has forced us to be mod- erate in pursuit of justice and that is why there's so little vir- tue. For example, I was told by a clergyman of a fellowship church that if I wanted to be accepted into the church group to be more moderate with the truth on Bible studies; instead I should. with money work around them to win their friend- ship 'for baptism, these want a price not a witness". No matter by what church namé a person is called if that person avoids or hates the Bible truth the Spirit of God is not in him, A church that has no Christian Bible study is a dead -ehurch and a handicap to the many churches that do worship God in spirit and in truth (Mat. 23:13, Luke 11:52). A wicked person is no help in creating justice, peace, and lib- erty in this world; and liberty does not mean liberty to do as we please because if we do what is right in God's eyes we please God and if we do evil we please the devil. It all depends on what spirit dwells in us, so what really needs to be exterm- inated is not the people but the devil that is using the ignorant and the weak as puppets for his x own wicked devices (John 3:8, 2 Corinth, 3:17), I read an article on Aug. 13, 1964 in the Globe and Mail where E. W. Gordon twisted the truth to make it appear as if God whois the Almighty could not work miracles, but He could look at Himself and see, the big- gest miracle yet, made in the image of God, or the wind that we cannot see but feel and see the force of the wind moving the branches; that is an in- visible miracle of God 'not magic or witchcraft of the devil" but genuine proof like the Holy Spirit that cannot be seen but can through Christ trans- form an evil person into a new- being full of good works (Luke 11:13, John 15:5). The Bible history as far back as Samuel 8:6-22, 10:19:24 when the nations chose to be under other masters and rejected God their true master and King, the devil has been setting up shrewd and wicked men as mas- ters, like Hitler that destroyed 6,000,000 Jews for no apparent reason, Then there are those that want to be masters over the Negro and are using the skin color as an excuse for keep- ing the Negro beneath them "vet themselves bask in the sun to get that same dark tan", and those many masters over the Canadian Indian on the Re- - serves, etc, At present the future for us, our children and grandchildren seems very shaky. Our only hope for this world is, if every- one returned to God our aue master for guidance and put on His whole armour. and in the "name of Jesus Christ extermin- ated our worst enemy which is the devil, we could put an end to all wars (Rom. 8:35-39, Eph. 6:11-17, Isa 1:18) and if we don't we shall all reap what we have sown (Jonah 3:8-10). PAULINE COOPER RR 2, Little Britain cases, at least, the in the field of regulation appar- ently is stronger than even with colleagues in Lath There is an argument | 7 put forward in defence ¢ | practice. j It is that there is apt to bt less trouble if the officials un- derstand not only the of their field but also the peo- ple in it. } However, this really is not too strong an argument. If a man is competent he can regulate on his knowledge of the field he is responsible for without first - hand contacts either than in a straight busi- ness way. And against any advantage in personal friendships there is the obvious disadvantage that it is the rare administrator who can be really objective or un- biased wth friends. With the Campbell incident before it the government now may pay some attention to tris whole question.
