AS She Oshawa Zimes _ Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Tih; Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1963----PAGE 6 Nuclear Policy Debate May Become Back-Chat ~The government's policy -- or lack of it -- on nuclear arms was the trigger for the explosion 'that tésulted in the dissolution of the 26th Parliament, One should expect, therefore, that the election cam- paign will see a great debate on this issue, But it may not be so at all, and the great debate may. well prove to be little more than a puerile exchange of "I did so" and "I did hot," "The Social Creditists and the New Democrats have made their position clear; they do not want Canada to have nuclear arms. But the positions of the Conservative and Liberal parties remain vague, despite the numerous recent "clari- fications". The Conservative position boils down to: "We don't want the nuc- lear weapons systems right now; we want to talk about them some more, and then maybe we won't need them." That seems to be as close as anyone can come to what Mr . Diefenbaker means in_ his various speeches. Liberal leader Lester Pearson surprised many of his supporters last month when he made a fairly clear nutlear statement, but one- which was at variance with his previously expressed views, He said that Canada should accept the nuclear weapons systems now, be- cause we are committed to take them, but we should then try to negotiate our way out of keeping them, , But now he has undertaken to clarify his position, and in doing so has only succeeded in clouding it, In Ottawa this week he expressed the opinion that a conventional role 'may well be the best" for Canadian forces in the Western alliance; he denied having said at any time that they should "necessarily" fill a non- nuclear role. Well, he may never have used the word "necessarily," but it is a matter of record that in January, 1961, he did say: "We should not acquire or use nuclear weapons under any kind of national joint control." And there has been no change in Canadian com- mitments to allies since that time. or The nuclear isue, it appears, may be "hedged" right out of existence, Research And Education An age can be identified by the words it favors. This is the age of space, science, technology, mation, over-kill and, above all, Yesearch. Our reliance on such words in- dicates the tempo and thinking of 'our times. We fall back on "re- Kea: yee? often, for example, be- "sae to age uncertain in so many Some disce once we thought we es " answers. And no where areonFthore uncertain than in the area of education. e Many individuals and organiza- dions in recent years have called for more research into the purposes and problems of education. The most ¥ecent is C, M. Bedford, president Sf the Canadian Home and School And Parent-Teacher Federation. In The February issues of Canadian Home and School magazine, he Writes that private enterprise in Canada invests huge sums to find the best way to sell people things they never knew they wanted; gov- auto- ernment spends hundreds of mil- lions each year on research in the physical sciences, in industry, in agriculture, and in the military ser- vices; but by contrast, so little is spent on educational research that it is not possible to obtain even an estimate of the amount. If the amount cannot be esti- matéd, of course, it is impossible to make comparisons. But Mr. Bedford has a valid point in his argument that research is vital, at a time when there is great social pressure for change in education. He points out, for example, that while some $800 million have been spent to build new technical and vocational schools, there is so. substantial evidence that this program is the best answer to the problems of preparing young people for life in a rapidly changing society. Where changes do come about, it seems to be mainly because individuals and organiza- tions promote them, rather than because the changes have a proved value, Control Of Predators The Ontarjo Department of Lands and Forests is making a wise move in appointing predator contro! offi- cers to regions feports of predator damage, duct thorough investigations Select the best methods for hating the problem. various to. assess con- and elimi- The main predator over a large part of the province is the wolf -- the animal called the timber wolf, the "brush" wolf, or coyote, and the hybrids resulting from crosses with dogs.

"4 in an area are a real or imagined problem, and to determine the best course of action when the animals are in truth a menace. In some parts of Ontario wolves damage preying particularly on sheep. cause heavy to farmers, That is a real problem. In other parts of Ontario there are frequent complaints that wolves are decimating the deer population. More often than not, there is no evidence to support the complaints and the wolves may, in fact, be serving a useful purpose by keep- ing the herds healthy. And stories about great increases in the num- bers of 'and = frequently exaggerated. Rangers in Algonquin Park had snared wolves for over a half a century before all control work was stopped in 1958. The catch averaged about 60 wolves each year out of a population that had remained over the years at an esti- mated 250 300 animals, Since 1958, when a wolf research program was started in the Park, wolves have not been snared or molested and there has been no significant change in their numbers. And contrary to reports that wolves are leaving the Park in search of food, Department employees have found ho increase in the numbers of wolves in areas adjacent to the Park. One may conclude that it is their environment rather than hu- man interference that exercises the main control, ~ wolves to SEASONAL TARGET PRACTICE REPORT FROM U.K. Litter From War 'Landscape Blot' By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) ° Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The service de- partments of the government are being severely criticized for the manner in which many of their now disused wartime establishments have become "blots on the landscape,"' espe- cially in the prized national parks The criticism of these govern YOUR HEALTH ment departments is contained in the annual report which has been presented by the National Parks Commission to Sir Keith Joseph, minister of housing and local government. The re- port expresses great concern at the number of derelict build ings and other service para' phernalia which, over 16 years after the close of the second world war, still litter the sites which were during 'the war Migraine Common In Tense People JOSEPH G, By MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What causes migraine headaches and can they be prevented? I was 13 when I had my first one and it occurred only 15 minutes after I had bumped my head When I get one | first start seeing black spots, then white jagged lines appear for about 30 minutes. Then I can see again but I get terrible head- aches and the light hurts my eyes.--R.H, The cause is not absolutely established, but it is known to involve an overdilation of the blood vessels in the brain Tense people, perfectionists who have to have everything just so, are the more usual vic- tims of migraines, and they tend to begin from the very early teens to the mid-20's. By the age of 50, most people have passed the "migraine age,' but that's a long time to wait Stopping a migraine isn't often successful, but various drugs and their combinations, largely based on ergotamine tartrate, can ward off or ease an attack--if taken in time, This means that the patient must learn to recognize the Signs that precede an attack. These vary from person to per- son, Being irritable, or forget- ful, or depressed or the like are Signs for some, Others notice that their fingers swell a little. They may get ringing noises in the ears, Becoming too tired, or upset and angry, or a feeling of being under pressure are things that help trigger an attack I doubt very much that the "bump on the head" had much to do with your first attack. In- directly, it might. It annoyed and perhaps worried you, and your nerves became tense, and you were at an age when sus- ceptible people often begin hav- ing migraines.

SHOULD SET EXAMPLE The National Parks Commis- sion is 'o take this matter up in discussions with Sir Keith To- Seph as one of paramount importance to the tidiness and beauty of the British landscape. It takes the view that in mat- ters of this nature, government departments should set an example to the rest of the country. The Commission also reports that it is worried about the growing density of aerial masts on hilltops# in beautiful sur- roundings, These structures are claimed to be eyesores, and that in many cases they have been erected in places where they are not really necessary The report urges that govern- ment departments should re- fuse to sponsor projects for aerial masts unless it can be specifically shown that there are no existing structures that can be used, ROUTE OVER DOWNS The Commission has also announced that it has sent to Sir Keith Joseph some pro- posals for the establishment of a long . distance route over the South Downs suitable for both walkers and horse - riders, This, the first such route to be pro- posed as a bridle path, will be about 80 miles long. It is pro- posed that it should extend from the western outskirts of Eastbourne to the West Sussex county border at South Harting, winding over the picturesque South Downs for a length of about 80 miles, The Commission also appeals for government action to pre: Serve the beauties of Britain's coast line, "Far too much already been spoiled," Port says, 'It seems to us to be of prime importance that all Possible steps should be taken without delay to ensure preser- vation of what still remains." of it has the re- BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEA Frank L.

It provides a cross-section of residents with fundamental knowledge of minerals and how to work with them. But, says the deputy minister, it will also show "it takes big money and advanced technology 'to develop and mine successfully."

'EXECUTIVE ASSISTANTS' When the House was picking away at travel and publicity estimates it tried to dig into this question of government publicity men, Conscience Votes And Party 'Unity' By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The historic fifth of February began for most Ot- tawans with the morning news- cast, A local radio station pre- dicted that, rather than permit the opposition parties to defeat his governmen on a vote, the prime minister might proclaim the dissolution of Parliament, "Daddy,"' asked the 12-year- old daughter of a top brasshat now working here, 'do you really think that Mr, Diefen- baker will disillusion Parlia- ment?"' The answer perhaps lay in the historic and largely unrecorded events later in that hectic day of crowds, emotion and sensa- tions, the like of which this staid building has never seen, Newspaper men camped -out- side the offices of key politi- cians to note the comings and goings, and to try to fit them into a pattern of evolution. A local. radio station announced in frequen! news flashes that Can- ada had a new prime minister. The New Democratic Party held a midday caucus upon which the life of the government de- pended, but broke up in agreed disagreement, Rumors of dis- sention within the Conservative party echoed along Parlia- ment's jong corridors while MPs of other parties anxiously watched for signs of it. Which ministers applauded the prime minister when he spoke in the House?, they asked, and which ministers 'sai on their hands?" WILL STORY BE TOLD? That speculation all came to litte at the time, But many pol- iticians expressed their belief that nothing except a real fire could have caused all that smoke One of the deplorable aspects of our Parliament is the undem- ocratic tradition wrongly foisted upon it by the late Liberal leader, W. L. Mackenzie King. He introduced the unworthy Ca- nadian form of "party solidar- ity' which deprives MPs of their right to exercise their in- dividual judgment, and converts them into "performing seals" compelled always to follow their leader when voting. I remember, during the latter years of the long Liberal re- gime, what a_ sensation was caused by the late and liked Jack MacDougall, Liberal MP from Vancouver, who once cast a vote against his party leader, This was his right; this was his duty if his conscience so dic tated; but to his leader and his colleagues it was heresy Through the past six years, this tradition has similarly be- devilled the Conservatives and been adhered to by the Liberals But the Social Credit and NDP have never superimposed party discipline on the MPs' indivi- dual conscience, HISTORIC VOTE Thus it happened that an amazing 15 per cent of the NDP members broke ranks last Tues- day, Bert Herridge, "the squire of the Kootenays,"' and Colin Cameron, the silver-spoken ora- tor from Nanaimo, both wen rousing Conservative applause by voting for the government and against the bulk of their party. And Vancouver's Harold Winch sat rigid in his seat with out voting al all, mutely ex pressing his disapproval of both Conservatives and Liberals Bert Herridge explained to me: "I have more confidence in Howard Green's efforts to seek disarmament than | have in Mike Pearson's nuclear policy And | think that we should have attended to pending legislation, and heard a budget, before an election, so that people would know what they are voting for." Colin Cameron frankly said that he could not support the Liber- als' nuclear policy. Onlookers were even more in- terested by. the unusual non- conformity. on the Conservative benches. Ed Morris of Halifax sat firmly in his seat but did not vote, 'I cannot publicly en- dorse Mr, Diefenbaker,"' he as- serted to the press later. Art Smith, of Calgary, avoided the vote by walking behind the cur- tain where -he escaped from public sight. Former defence minister Doug Harkness, also from Calgary, remained in his office. Both these were protest- ing against the apparent am- biguity of recent government statements on nuclear policy. No matter what one thinks of the particular case, this un- shackling of performing seals was a welcome new trend an] INVENTORY OF PUBLIC SERVICE r MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.
