L, Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1963---PAGE 6 Ontario Police Urging Tougher Boating Rules An outboard motorboat has been purchased by the Ontario Provincial Police for use on small lakes in Muskoka. It will be used for periodic patrols of widely separated lakes. OPP Inspector John Clark said patrols of holiday area waterways will be intensified, with more men and equipment being added for the job. The need for such action is obvious. As Inspector Clark pointed out, "every year brings more boats and more boating mishaps to the lakes." He also said that speeding and carelessness are the main viola- tions encountered in the patrols, and that one of the reasons was that there is no minimum age for drivers of motorboats; police have found that children under 16 are among' the chief boating offenders. At almost the same time as Ins- pector Clark was making his state- ment, Chief Constable Frederick Minshall of Goderich was telling the conference of the Chief Cons- tables' Association of Ontario that a minimum age should be set for pleasure boat operators and they should all be licensed. The resolu- tion he presented to the Associa- tion offered several other ideas: written examinations before plea- sure boat operators are licensed; a minimum age for observers in boats towing skiers; the wearing of life jackets by everyone aboard a boat not suited for passenger movement; a scale to show the proper ratios of passengers and motor horse- power in relation to a boat's length, beam and freeboard. He thought, too, that small vesels regulations should be applied as stringently as the Highway Traffic Act. The police officers are rightly concerned about the manner in which boats are being handled on our waterways, which in many areas are as crowded as our high- ways --and just as deadly --from late spring until well on in the fall. As cars started to crowd the roads, the need for licensing drivers be- came imperative; the same situa- tion now exists on our lakes and rivers. BNA Act Misconception Comment on the current consti--- tutional and cultural agitation in Quebec indicates a widespread belief that the British North America Act was designed for a loose con- federation, with a strict limitation of central authority and fairly wide powers given the member provinces, Dr. Eugene Forsey, research di- rector of the Canadian Labor Con- gress and an authority on the Canadian constitution, has pointed out that the intentions of the BNA Act and the men who framed it were the establishment of a strong cen- tra] authority and quite limited pro. vincial autonomy. These intentions have been perverted by rulings of the judicial committee of the British Privy Council and by the attitudes of federal administrations since the end of the First World War. The chief architect of Confedera- tion was Sir John A. Macdonald, and he spoke not only for his gov- ernment but for all the Fathers of Confederation when he said: "This portion of the Constitution confers on the General Legislature the general mass of sovereign legis- lation, the power to legislate on all matters of a general character not specifically and exclusively reserved for the governments and legisla- tures. This is precisely the provision which is wanting in the Constitu- tion of the United States ... We thereby strengthen the Central Par- liament, and make the Confedera- tion one people and one government, instead of five peoples and five governmen' The BNA Act gives the central Parliament power "to make laws for the peace, order and good gov- ernment of Canada in relation to all matters not coming within the classes of subjects by this Act assigned exclusively to the Legis- latures of the Provinces." "In other words," Dr. Forgey notes, 'the whole residual legislative power. The pro- vinces got certain specific powers, set out in sections 92,93 and 95; everything else belonged to the Dominion." Non-Art And Non-Judges Some abstractionist artists are \\able to combine colors and forms in ways that have great emotional im- pact on the viewer. But the abstract form also permits paint -- and all sorts of other materials -- to be splashed on canvas without dis- cipline or meaning, and this has encouraged the development of the greatest hoax in the history of art, fostered by pseudo-artists who can. not paint and sustained by pseudo- critics who have no standard of values to guide them. Probably the most curious feature of the hoax is\its persistence. The non-artists and the non-critics even survive hoaxes upon their hoax. Reputable artists have de- ceived and kidded them unmerci- fully with paintings done by dogs, monkeys and other animals. In the past couple of months, for example, an abstraction by a 22-months-old baby was a prize winner in an art She Oshawa Fines T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

The baby was 'permitted to scrawl on paper taped to the re- frigerator in the kitchen. She daubed happily, until she got bored. Her father submitted her "paint- ing" and the jadge gravely gave it a prize. Two years agd Gus Brady, an Arkansas commercial artist, "work- ed myself to death for about two months" painting an entry for the Arkansas regional art show. A work of "modern" art won. This year Brady teamed with Henry Retzloff, another commercial artist, and entered a work called "Experi- mentation Into the Realm of Noc- turnal Schizophrenic Endeavors." It was well named -- it was done at night, without any light, on a piece of wall board. The two stood the board on an outside wall, placed a ladder in front of it, and one threw paint at the board while the other brushed. When they grew tired of throwing paint, they used sand and doused the whole thing with a bucket of water. Then they turned the headlights of a car on the piece to find out what they had done. It was sent to the art show -- and won. Bible Thought Grace and peace be miltipled unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord. -- II. Peter a3.

There are three sources of news on Parliament Hill, The only official method is by a for- mal statement to the press, ei- ther as a written press release or by word of mouth at a press conference, The second fount of news is the "'leak," which is generally a clandestine tip-off by some politician's satellite to a trusted and friendly journalist. Such a story is identified by some phrase such as "according to a high authority on Parliament Hill." The third means of gathering news here is by observation and deduction. Thus by chance last month I stumbled upon the fact that Maurice Bourget, a de- feated Liberal MP, was desper- ate to obtain quickly a parlia- mentary uniform tail coat as worn by the Speakers and clerks in each chamber of Par- liament; he borroed from his physical match, T. R. Montgom- ery, clerk assistant of the Com- mons, his spare coat. TALE OF TAIL COAT Why would Mr. Bourget want such a garment in a hurry, just before the opening of Parlia- ment? He had been appointed, I deduced, by Prime Minister Pearson to be Speaker of the Senate. Conveniently the de- feated Conservative administra- tion had left unfilled an appro- priate vacancy for a Senator from Quebec. The official press release confirming this deduc- tion came only on the eve of the opening; Mr. Bourget was summoned to the Senate and immediately appointed Speaker. Thus died hope, ambition and indeed even the expectation of the fulfilment of promises, in the hearts of senior and exper- ienced Quebec senators. In La Belle Province, a sena- tor is a person of prestige to an extent unmatched in other prov- inces, The senior French - Ca- nadian Liberal senators are in a class apart from and above other politicians. They can be seen, a distinguished group, in Montreal railway station on most Tuesday afternoons dur- ing the parliamentary session, boarding the Ottawa train, With their wives, they settle comfor- tably in the parlor chairs in "our car," for a friendly chat during the two-hour run to Ot- tawa. Arriving in the capital, they scurry along the tunnel leading from the station to the Chateau Laurier Hotel, then up the steps climbing the slope, past the sta- tue of their hero Sir Wilfrid Laurier, to reach the Senate in time to attend the customary 8 p.m, Tuesday sitting. STUNNED SENATORS But for some of today's "sen- ateurs," the opening of Paflia- ment surely saw gall and worm- wood embitter their hearts, For the turn of a French-speaking "President" had gone to new- comer Bourget. Passed over was 74-year-old Jean-Marie Dessureault, bank YOUR HEALTH director, businessman, dumber merchant, honorary Colonel of Le Regiment de Quebec, Knight of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre, He was the powerful backroom organizer who, at Mackenzie King's spe- cial request, ensured the elec- tion of Louis St. Laurent to Par- liament, when the anti - con- scriptionists were stoning the windows of the St. Laurent home. He was reportedly prom- ised the speakership in 1957, but the electorate scotched the pros. pect by throwing out the Lib- erals, Another outstanding man, Paul Henri Bouffard, old fund- 'raiser for the Liberals, able and respected lawyer and director, would certainly have refused, but equally certainly merited the compliment of the invitation to the speakership. Other senior senators include 66-year-old J. E. Lefrancois, who gave up his Montreal seat in the Commons to make way for Lionel Chevrier; Cyrille Vaillancourt, and gracious but turbulent Francois Pouliot. Are all these fine senators considered less worthy or less competent to be Speaker than a 55-year-old newcomer who had never participated in the work of the Senate? They cer- tainly got less than their de- serts, Pumping Measure Not For Everyone By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: Please com- ment on the newest method of resuscitation for suspected heart attack victims. I think it is a timed process of pressing firmly on the chest with the hands--F.R. This is called closed chest re- suscitation. It has been devel- oped in the last several years, but some words of warning con- cerning it are in order, It is not for suspected heart attack victims. It is an emer- gency measure for use when the heart stops. There's a dif- ference! The majority of people who suffer heart attacks sur- vive. There are many cases of the heart stopping, and being kept pumping by "massage" until it resumes: normal beating. BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO The Home and School Coun- cil asked for a curfew bell in Oshawa to keep children off the streets late at night. Col. Otway, head of social and prison work for the Salva- tion Army in Canada, conduct- ed special services in the Osh- awa Citadel. Howard Elis, former physical director of the YMCA and teach- er of a class in Simcoe Street Methodist Sunday School, pre- sented Claude Haleran with a silver cup for winning the class competition for attendance. Fifteen medical doctors weré reported located in Oshawa, The population was estimated at 15,000, W. E. N. Sinclair, KC, re- ceived the nomination of the South Ontario Liberals to repre- sent them in the forthcoming provincial eection. Dr. James Moore of Brooklin was nomi- mated by the Conservative Party. The property and business of McDowel and Morris at cor- ner of King street west and Mc- Millan drive, was purchased by Brothers of Toronto, Steps were being taken to pave and lay storm sewers on Division street. Special services marked the Sunday School anniversary event in Simcoe Street Metho- dist Church. Short addresses were delivered by Rev. Lorne Pierce of Toronto, Rev. J. H. McBain, church pastor, and B. J. Gay, SS superintendent. A total of 2,402 pupils were re- ported enrolled in the city's seven public schools. Down payments on houses in ett were $100 and on lots a By the open chest method, the doctor swiftly opens the chest, reaches in and squeezes the heart rhythmically about once a second, Since the valves work automatically, responding to the pressure of the blood, this squeezing keeps it flowing. In fact, that is how the heart normally works, It "beats" by contraction of the heart muscle. The closed chest method was devised for the same prupose, but to avoid the necessity of sur- gery. The heart is squeezed by pressure on the sternum -- the breast bore, Both hands, one atop the'ather, are required be- cause good pressure is import- ant. In heart attacks or other forms of collapse it is some- times the case that the heart- beat is faint, but it is present nevertheless, Respiration must also be pro- vided. The lungs must supply oxygen. Therefore mouth - to - mouth respiration or some other method must be used to pro- vide air. The closed chest method is being taught to ambulance teams, first-aid workers and the -like, It is not intended to be used by the average person. In ordinary heart attacks the patient needs, above everything else, quiet and rest. If people who misunderstand the closed chest metho? were to try to aid victims, the results might well be fatal to some who otherwise would recover. It is a method intended only for the dire emergency of a stopped heart, not for heart at- tacks. 135 SIMCOE ST. NORTH @ RESIDENT PARTNERS Burt R. Waters, C.A. Gordon W. Riehl, C.A., R.1A. Robert W.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London ane Correspondent 'For The Oshawa Times The much-herald- ed practi Commonwealth trade ministers did very little, ff anything, to advance the cause of Commonwealth co-op- eration in trade and economic matters, While a very non-commital communique was issued at the close, it is apparent that the conference did little to achieve the original purpose intended for it when it was announced at the time of the breakdown of the Brussels Common Market nego- tiations. The minds of the trade ministers seemed to be much more concerned with the GATT meeting in Geneva on the Unit- ed States proposals on tariff cuts than on measures to in- crease the trade between Com- monwealth countries, The visiting trade ministers were rather taken aback by the statements of Frederick Erroll, president of the Board of Trade fo the United Kingdom. He warned them that times have changed and that their coun- tries must look for other mar- kets for their surpluses, And he indicated that Britain was more interested in world trade than Commonwealth trade, After the conference he said: "The commercial interest of the Commonwealth lies in the expansion of world trade as a whole and of Commonwealth trade within it." This did not please any of the other trade ministers present and they gave notice that they would not surrender their trade preferences without adequate compensation. Australia, Can- ada and New Zealand, who all supported world agreements for grain, dairy produce and meats, were told that there was a limit to the amounts they could sell in Britain because the govern- ment was determined to put the interest of British farmers first. So, taking it all over, the Trade Ministers' Conference was very much a damp squib, GALLUP POLL -have issued a most and did not produce anything in the way of a results for bi uh The de Asagates art sad by 8 are going GATT meeting n Sieve ee any sense of Commonwealth unity, and with- out having reached any agree- ment on a joint policy they could support at Geneva, In every way it has been an inconclusive and disappointing exercise. SEE IMPROVEMENT The independent economists of the National Institute of Eco- nomic and Social orn stic report. They declare that this year will see a sharp improve- ment on industrial output and employment, Their view is that trends in stock-bui and in- vestment, which have kept pro- duction down in the last six months, will very soon be work- ing the other way towards ex- pansion, The institute foresees produc. tion rising at the rate of at least four per cent a year, With pros- pects for 1964 also good, the trend of unemployment, it says, should be firmly downwards by then, The institute is also optimistic about the balance of payments this year, It believes that any strains on the gold reserve in the fall will be less severe than they were in February and March, and should be capable of being overcome, The institute's summary, for an organization which usually maintains a pessimistic view- point, is buoyant. It says: "There is a chance that we are now sufficiently competitive to halt our falling share of world trade in manufactured goods." This forecast is very much in line with the thinking of the government which is anticipat- ing that just such an improve- ment will take place to restore it to public favor. ASSURANCE TO PEERS Tain Macleod, leader of the House of Commons, has given the "reluctant peers' an assur- ance that they can go ahead Canadians Are Divided On National Flag Idea CANADIAN. INSTITUTE of PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Opinion has not changed much in the past decade as to the kind of flag Canadians want -- a new design, the Red Ensign, or the Union Jack. No Government will be able to please even a majority .of citizens on a flag, as the nation splits into three clear-cut segments. Almost half 45 per cent--want a new flag, must as they did ten years ago. The other half, except for those with no opinion, want the Union Jack or the Red Ensign, Demand for a new flag is at its high point in Quebec where three in four citizens feel this is the only solution. Maritimers NATIONAL soccsevscecseeees TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 25, 1963... Canadians went into ac- tion in Korea for the first time as a brigade 12 years ago today--in 1951. The 25th Infantry Brigade, under Bri- gadier John M. Rocking- ham, was boosted to full strength by the Princess Pa- tricia's Canadian Light In- fantry. Previously the Pa- tricia's fought as part of the 28th Commonwealth Brigade, 1879 = Canadian - born publisher Lord Beaverbrook was born. 1949 -- Communist Chi- nese troops entered Shang- hai. are the least willing to accept a new flag, as a hefty segment want the Union Jack. In May of 1952 and again in 1962 the same question was put to Canadians by the Gallup Poll. "Which of these do you think Canada should do about its flag -- design a new national flag of its own, or'use the Cana- dian Red Ensign, or use the Union Jack?" In those two Polls, as with to- day's results, about half wanted a new design and the other half were happy with the Red En- sign or the Union Jack, Columns below show today's attitudes on a national basis compared with regional reac- tions, revealing vivid controver- sies on the flag debate.
