Wilson, Publisher te eee Ye eos, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1966 -- PAGE 4 Resources: Not Enough To Go Around Today Pollution poses problems the pro- portions of which cannot be readily realized. More and more the alert is being sounded by American 'sources of the dangers of pollution. 'The latest warning has come from 'President Johnson's advisory com- 'mittee which states we haven't 'really as yet begun to realize what 'we're up against. . Pollution, this committee says, is not one problem but thousands of them. It is the fouling of the air, water and land; the stench of a 'burning dump; the visual pollution of junk yards and billboards; the ugly enigma of Itter that won't de- steriorate. The richer the: country igets, the committee warns, the 'more polluted it becomes. "Yet there is no natural right to pollute. Mankind's stake in a decent 'environment no longer is a casual sone. "Today we are certain that sfpollultio adversely affects the Squality of our lives. In the future fit may affect their duration". : The report suggests a tax on pol- 'luters, "effluent charges" in pro- 'portion to the amount of pollution they add to the environment. It proposes a tax on junked autos to speed up their disposal..It calls for more basic scientific research and more data on pollutants; more co- operation among government units in assaulting them; more imagina- tive demonstration projects and more individual concern about pol- lution. The cost of this better world, the committee emphasizes, will be enormous. In this province, the Water Re- sources Commission recently pub- lished a report pointing to pollution problems in 13 Lake Ontario com- munities including Oshawa and Whitby. Awareness of them and appropriate action to cope with them have been assured. Yet it is also certain the situation: here is one requiring continuing and con- stant concern. As the American researchers warn, it is going to be a hard sell to promote the gigantic house-clean- ing program required, Our re- sources are simply not enough to go around nowadays, and there's no al- ternative if we are to salvage them. "Looked After' Too Long "Indians have heard lots of words, lots of talk for 100 years" 'was one of the most telling com- ments made by the president of the Union of Ontario Indians regarding the multi-million dollar plan an- nounced in this province for their assistance. He said Indians will be- 'lieve the plans when they are trans- lated into action. While a realistic approach to gov- ernment largesse the comment is 'also representative of the negative outlook which has contributed to "the economic and social malaise af- flicting Canada's Indian population 'for generations. In a sad_ sense, jtoo, it illustratés the dearth of in- dependence welfarism can leave in rits wake. Whether methods have been ade- quate or not, Canadian govern- The Oshawa Times R. C.

Whatever amount of mon- ey is made available to assist them, it will be largely wasted. unless the Indians themselves shake the leth- argy limiting them.

Canadians. Today Indians appear divided on the course they should take,, Some favor integration while others hold out for a segregation which will preserve their culture. The former course is surely the only one for them if they are ever to gain the standards and equality they claim to desire. Surely education for the world they're living in has priority. Communities of Indians in Alber- ta, in sections of Ontario and Que- bec have shown they can enter and succeed in the competitive world of the white man. Part of the solution surely lies in putting them geogra- phically in a position to compete-- getting them off the uneconomic tracts of land on which reserves are found. There'd equality which might work real benefits. It surely rests with Indian lead- ers and those seeking to help them to-impress arpon-the reserve-dwell- be ers the necessity of taking advan- tage of the educational and other opportunities to equip themselves for the responsibilities of the equal- ity they demand. OTTAWA REPORT Wheatland Politico Master Of Strategy By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Alvin Hamilton is the enthroned king of the prairie wheatlands. But talking to him in his Parliament Hill office just before the opening of the new, Parliament, I could sense his acquired mastery of political strategy and his great interest in government programs. His concept of how the new session could be got off to a workmanlike start is practical and non-partisan as he outlined it to me. First comes a matter which concerns all rural areas, but especially the Prairies: The proposed abandonment of more railway branch lines. "The railroad should be moved quickly into committee, where it might be thrashed over for three or four months," he said. "It is too im- portant for the House to get into a long political hassle over." And to remind himself of its im- portance, he has a large map of his constituency: of Qu'Ap- pelle on the wall, with 60 or so grain delivery points marked by colored thumb tacks following along the seven rail lines legislation LET OFF STEAM Second priority, he believes, should be to start combing over government spending estimates in committee. "'That's the one place where every MP 'can legitimately air his problems and let off steam. For two years we haven't been given this op- portunity, so everyone improp- erly uses the daily question period."" ° At this point we were inter- rupted: The Prairies want to come -to the aid of the eastern farmers, victimized by bad crops and short of feed, just as easterners -helped the Prairie farmers in the dirty thirties, Tom O'Brien, reeve of a muni- cipality in Qu'Appelle, outlined to Alvin Hamilton his . sugges- tion: 1966 feed grains in return for those apples and codfish and clothes in 1933. Quite a gesture, that Aptly, a cartoon caught m eye, just one among 29 framed originals hanging .on the wall. This one depicted Mitchell Sharp, now the minister in charge of the wheat board, look- ing crestfallen as he reads an invitation: "'Mr. Mao Tse-tung requests the pleasure of Mr. Alvin Hamilton.in Peking, 1964." And Alvin looking over his shoulder compassionately says: "Or perhaps they never heard of you, Mitch." PARLIAMENT FAILED Alvin then switched to his third parliamentary _ priority: Broadcasting. "We should give this a real bash in parliament and set guidelines down," he said. "In 1961 our government should have given the Board of Broadcast Governors a more specific franchise. What has happened since has been the fault of Parliament for that omission, not "the fault of the BBG." Somehow from broadcasting the talk drifted to water. Pick- ing books fron' his crowded shelves, Alvin turned up tables describing our superabundance of water and the needs of west- ern United States. Then he reeled off figures from his head, so large they stagger one, He spoke of selling water worth $ billion a year to United States, in a package deal--Ca- nadian water for U.S. industrial- isation of underdeveloped Can- ada. This could be the greatest ihing in our future, he said. We can water, it would be less than five per cent of our surplus--and he spoke of it in acre-inches--and it would in- crease their growth by $360 billion a year; but. we want a corresponding deal in payment, "Would this be the diversion from James Bay, through On- tario?"' I asked. "Oh no, this is much bigger, this, is in the West," replied west - booster Alvin.

The people take great pride in having preserved an unbroken rapport with the past, despite revolutions and other upheavals Novgorod's long civic pride is reflected in very title of the monument. It implies that Russian history be- gan in 862, about the time Nov- gorod is first mentioned in old Russian chronicles Today-it is a city of 96,000, situated 330 miles north of Mos- cow on the old post road be- tween the capital and Lenin- grad, formerly St. Petersburg.

Its chief purpose was to consider the resolutions for Confederation that had been prepared by the Confederation delegates from Canada, the Maritimes and Newfoundland the previous October. The Canadian parliament pass- ed the resolutions far more easily than did the others. The legislative council considered them first, and approved them in Februry by a vote of 45-15. Then the assembly held its de- bate, and gave its approval by a vote of 91-33. Macdonald, Cartier, Brown and Galt were made delegates to go to London to open negotiations with thé British government which had to get the British North American Act passed by Parliament there before confederation could be- come a reality. In the meantime there was plenty of trouble. Prime Minis- ter Tache died on July 30, and was replaced by Sir Narcisse Belleau who formed a govern- ment with John A. Macdonald. Then George Brown, the Liberal leader who had made the' con- federation deal possible by joining the Tache - Macdonald government got out of it. He and Macdonald had been on friendly terms during the trip to London, but Brown never enjoyed serving under Mac- donald and seldom spoke to him after he got out of the govern- ment on December 21. The confederation plans took another set-back in 1866 when they were defeated in the New Brunswick legislature. 1824---Welland Canal incorporated 1843--Mount Allison -Wesleyan * Academy opened at Sack- ville, N.B. Company Canadian Biochemist serves As WHO Consultant By GERARD McNEIL OTTAWA (CP) The bio- chemist who brought Canada's food and drug directorate into the modern: era now is a con- sultant to the World Health Or- ganization Last September, Dr. Clarence Morrell travelled to Chile and Argentina to advise health min- isters. Since retirement in Feb- ruary, 1965, he has also pre- pared an outline of hogy direc- torates might be set up in La- tin America His report, which advocates co-operative food and drug bu- reaus for several countries, is being circulated among mem- bers of the Organization of American States. Nobody knows better than Dr, Morrell, 66, who headed Can- ada's directorate for 20 years, the value of United Nations agencies such as the W.H.O. Keeping up with the flood of developments in the. field of drugs is too much for any one country. W.H.O. provides an essential communications SyS- tem, Dr. Morrell, in an interview, cited the thalidomide tragedy as an example of what poor communications meant in the past. A doctor in Germany had no- ticed that thalidomide taken by pregnant women. often caused deformities in infants Even though physicians and government bodies are alert to such information, it takes time for it to seep through medical journals. In the case of thalidomide, there was an international scan- dal over the lag. It spurred the W.H.O. to de- velop an alarm system that now flashes det ails on dangerous drugs to governments around the. world, ' "No drug that has any effect is innocent," said Dr. Morrell. "They have a_ general therefore -they have side fects," His advice: "Don't drugs unless you have to.' The acute reactions aren't hard to trace. The reactions that develop slowly are. Government control bodies now carry tests on animals into the second generation to try to catch effects like of thalido- mide. : -'The last 25°years have seen a 'really tremendous change in the marketing of food and pro d ay { ati spoken scientist is just beginning." In 1930, when Dr, ef- take tion of aid Morrell a effect," joined the government, drugs were aimed mainly at symp- toms rather than causes and were often ineffective. So were baa of evaluating their ef- ect. APPLIES SCIENCE In the 1930s, Dr. Morrell and others introduced the science of biometrics to the testing of drugs. This involved application of statistical methods to 'biological facts. Those years modernizing test methods in the laboratories were his most rewarding. . In the old days, one guinea pig's reaction might determine the fate of a drug. Now, manu- facturers must submit all data and government experts must make to-find fault pvith it. "They are looking for trou- ble,' said Dr. Morrell frankly. "If they can't find it, the drug is passed. But it may be classi- fied as a new drug for years." This means that it remains under continual close observa- tion, After thalidomide, the direc- torate issued a standard form to enable physicians across Canada to report on side effects of drugs. Added to W.H.O,'s in- ternational alarm system, this is another protection. Dr. Morrell was born in Ro- chester, N.Y., and raised in Hamilton, Ont. He tried to en- ter the Royal Flying Corps dur- ing the First World War but his youth ruled him out and he took a factory job at 17: cents an hour After the war, he graduated from the University of Toronto with a masters degree in bio- chemistry, took a doctorate at Harvard in 1930, and also did work at University College in London, England. In England, he was a mem- ber of the Seven Seas Club, in which no Englishman was al- lowed. It was a haven for for- eign students 3efore 1930, he -spent 17 months in Nigeria with the West.

Henry Howard, earl of Surrey, was beheaded im the Tower of London 419 years ago today--in 1547--aged 30. He had been convicted, by a prejudiced court, of higir treason, namely asserting a claim to the heraldic arms of King Edward the Con- fessor (1042-66). The under- lying reason was political, however. Surrey had said his father, as senior English duke, should be regent for Prince Edward when Henry VIIL_ died, but Edward's mother had been a member of the Seymour family, the Howards' rivals. Henry VIIT died and was suc- ceeded by Edward nine days after Surrey's execution. 1563--The Heidelberg Pro- testant Catechism was_is- sued 1899 -- Combined Anglo - Egyptian rule over. the Sudan was proclaimed, First World: War Fifty years..ago today-- in 1916 -- the Allied) War Council met in London; British troops occupied Ebolowa, German Cam- eroons; German casualties to date were estimated by the Allies at '2,535,768, in- cluding 588,986 killed.

QUEEN'S PARK Metre Plan Holds Little For Others. BY DON 'O'HEARN TORONTO -- One day last week here it was like high noon at 42nd Street and Broadway. The committee rooms on the main floor of the Parliament Building were jammed. Jammed with Toronto politi- cians, The occasion was the official release of the government's proposals for the further reor- ganization of Metro Toronto, And the local poles swarmed in to find out what was going to happen to them. WANTED GUIDE LINES Those of us who aren't too in- terested in Toronto were hoping that the proposals might have some new points of principle which would have significance for the rest of the province. However it didn't turn out this way. There was very little in them in the way of a lead in muni- cipal reorganization generally. About the only general appli- cation that could be taken from them and which would have wide application: is 'that the gov- ernment here. will tend not to rock the boat when it is drawn into municipal rebuilding. It will cause as isttle disturb- ance as possible. BOUNDARIES KEPT The government's proposal for Toronto is that the present 13 municipalities in the area shall. be reduced to six. This is two more than Carl Goldenberg would have had in his report of six months ago. CHANGES SMALL In not following Mr. Golden- berg's recommendations the government is staying as close as possible to existing munici- pal boundary lines. Under the Royal Commission- er's four-city proposal there would have had to be a redraft- ing of municipal boundaries. The government approach has been to combine existing muni- cipalities into larger units. LONGER TERMS? One development out of the Toronto situation which may have some wide application is a proposal that the municipal con- trollers and aldermen be elected for three-year terms. This almost certainly will be adopted for Toronto, and we probably can expect to see it gradually extended to other areas of the province. The trend has been towards longer terms for municipal offi- cials. ; Not so long ago one year was the standard term across the province, This was gradually extended until today the majoity of mu- nicipalities have two + year terms.
