Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1963--PAGE 6 4 Irr ponsibility Shown By High-Priced Members Canadians this week saw the na- tion's business held up by the shameful irresponsibility of a small group of political opportunists, It's quite obvious that many members of the Commons do not have any idea of the deep disgust being gen- erated in the public by their con- duct since they voted themselves an annual salary of $18,000 with 'tax exemptions -- the equivalent of about $22,000 without the exemp- tions. The irresponsible members ap- pear to have shut their ears to the exhortations and warnings of some of their more responsible and in- telligent colleagues. The words' of Colin Cameron, NDP member for Nanaimo-Cowichan -- The Islands, spoken in the Commons, are worth repeating. He said in part: "It was perhaps too much to be hoped that hon. members, having raised themselves to the economic level of $18,000 a year in a society that measures all virtue in dollars, would have improved their intellec- tual contributions in this chamber, After all, intellectual contributions are dependent upon _ intellectual capacities. "But surely it was not too much to hope that having accepted, shall we say with graciousness and a certain alacrity, this generous treat- ment on the part of the people of Canada, some hon. members might at least have taken some lessons in elementary civilized behavior. "A fool is always difficult to en- dure. A well-mannered fool is less unendurable than a lout. I would suggest, Mr. Chairman, that mem- bers of this House should bear in mind that the public are watching them, watching them with a very much more critical eye than they did before the recent increase in the indemnities of the members of Parliament." An engraved copy of those re- marks should be sent to each MP. Canada In Caribbean The British Caribbean, in its efforts to reach solutions to the many-sided problems that face the area, should be able to look to Can- ada as a friendly and interested partner, the Bank of Nova Scotia's monthly review argues. Long- established trade and other ties with Canada have led to a sustained and growing interest in the region on the part of Canadians. While the West Indies has been evolving politically and economic- ally, it is not easy to see the pat- tern towards which it is moving. Trinidad and Jamaica have recently marked the first anniversary of their independence, and the other territories are now seeking the best way in which to reach this goal. The attainment of nationhood by Trinidad and Jamaica followed the dissolution last year of the West Indies Federation which had been hopefully formed in 1957 as a means of realizing the area's long-sought goals of political self-rule and econ- omic viability. f The major well-springs of econ- omic growth in the West Indies have been a shift way from depen- dence on sugar by the develop- ment of other. resources, and in recent years the thrust for indus- trialization. Despite the progress of recent years, the economic. problems of the West Indies are pressing and their solution is not obvious. Most of the islands are over-populated in rela- tion to their known resources, Apart from oil-and natural gas in Trinidad and bauxite in Jamaica, the islands have few mineral or energy resour- ces. Lack of resources means they have few chances of building com- petitive large-export industries based on local raw materials. How- ever, the region has a number of factors working to its advantage, particularly . stability of govern- ment. The larger islands can ex- pect fair results from a continu- ation of their present policy of en- couraging light manufactures, the bank believes. For the smaller islands, tourism appears to offer the greatest promise. Canada has provided aid to the islands in the form of two ships for inter-island transport, and tech- nical assistance, mainly in educa- tion. Much more technical aid is needed, Dictators Taking Over This newspaper has consistently opposed Canadian membership in the Organization. of American States. We believe that our argu- ments are being strongly rein- forced by current events in the Latin American countries. What democracy there is in those countries is being submerged under a tide of subversion, of the right or of the left. Military dictators are taking over, to prevent what they claim -- with some reason -- are Castro-inspired plots to foment revolution. And each military, coup drives another nail into the coffin of the United States' plan for Lat: American development, the Alliance for Progress.

Without OAS _ involve- ment, but as an American state, we are in a much better position to act as a friendly, disinterested power. The coup epidemic will probably spread. Venezuela is clearly marked as the next target of either a mili- tary or a Communist coup. Know- ing it, Venezuela is joining Costa Rica, another danger spot, in call- ing for a meeting of the Organiza- tion of American States to try to prevent any more military or Com- munist takeovers. But with each passing month the membership of the OAS represents more and more dictators and fewer and fewer de- mocracies. Each military coup is followed by pious announcements that the dic- tators intend to restore civilian government and democracy as soon as possible. But the promise is sel- dom kept unless another coup by civilians ousts the military, The Mil- waukee Journal notes. One trouble is that coups are inevitably followed by the exile, imprisonment or death of legitimate civilian leaders. The military invariably breaks the back of legitimate political parties. And all too often, progress -- economic, democratic, educational-- is impossible under the dictators. As Winston Churchill put it, the "dictators ride to and fro upon tigers and they dare not dismount." Their energies must go to the struggle to stay in power and are seldom diverted for any public good. 'NON-SMOKER? YOU'RE STILL A RISK, MADAM" REPORT FROM U.K. Athletes Obtain National Centre By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Before the 1964 Olympic Games are held in Tokyo, Japan, Britain's ath- letes in al] categories, including ' swimmers, will have at their disposal for 'the first time one of the most up-to-date training and national recreation centres in the world. In a progress report, the Lon- don County Council says that the new and modern national YOUR HEALTH recreation centre at Crystal Palace, which has been creat- ed at a cost of $6,750,000, will be ready for use in the early pari of next summer. Indeed, some sections of it are already completed, and some of the staff members are now moving into the houses which have been built for them within the pre- cints of the centre, The central feature of the centre is the sports hall, and the main structure of this, the most complex part o° the proj- ect, has been completed. Its roof, reported to be one of the VD Not Confined To Unmarried Set By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I am a 14- year-old girl who wants to know more about venereal disease. I have read about it in the li-+ brary, but I don't understand why it apparently only happens to unmarried people. I asked my mother and she wouldn't tell me. My counsellor in school is a man, so I couldn't ask -him --AR, Well, I'm a man, too--but maybe I can answer your ques- tion. » Venereal disease, like others, isn't limited to people who are, or aren't, married. For all prac- tical purposes, it is transmitted either by sexual intimacy or, in some cases, it is congenital, meaning that a baby gets it be- cause a parent has the disease. And a married couple, neither of which has-the disease and remains faithful to each other, won't get it--or, to be more pre- cise--their chance of contract- ing it is so small that we can virtually ignore the possibility. Venereal disease is largely spread by those who are sexu- ally promiscuous. Much of the trouble--and this is cause for great concern -- is traced to youngsters of high school age. If this shocks you, all I can say is that it shocks me, too, But iit ts If this "pool of disease" has become so strong among teen- agers, it is time we began speaking plain facts to them. I don't know what you may have read in 'the library, but it is my suspicion that your idea about venereal disease happen- ing "only to\unmarried people" came from something written by somebody who was trying to be nice and polite or "delicate" about. the problem--a_ writer who took it for granted (or pre- tended to) that all married peo- ple behave in ideal fashion. They don't. A promiscuous high school girl may get mar- ried but that doesn't mean she automatically becomes moral and faithful. She is what she is, However, I don't mean that a girl (or boy) may be promiscu- ous in-the teens and not, pres- ently, learn that morality isn't just an arbitrary "rule" but is the result of sound reason. Fidelity and -good character in general are important {ur many reasons other than the risk of venereal disease, but I am speaking in medical terms, in terms of preventing disease, because that is what you asked me about. Have I made the answer clear? I hope so--because 'he more that girls (and boys) of 14 understand this; the ess venereal disease we are going to have among those of 16, 17, 18 and older. f Dear Dr. Molner: I am deevly concerned about my daughter. Her husband likes to tickle her until she is on the verge of tears. She is losing weight con- stantly. Could this have ary bearing? She eats well but is usually under tension.-- MRS, WMT. If the practice is upsetting enough to be an emotional fac- tor, it could contribute to loss of weight, but there isn't. any- thing in particular about tick- ling that would do so directly. If your daughter dislikes the tickling, she should ask her hus- band seriously to stop it. If be doesn't--well, wives from time immemorial have found plenty of ways to make their wishes emphatic. His urge to tickle mas be a sadistic trait. Dear Dr. Molner: Please ex- plain a cystocele. Is surgery re- quired? Is it associated with malignancy? Is it a serious op- eration?--T.R. Cystocele (SISS-toe-seal) is a weakness of tissues of the pelvic floor--the urinary bladder sags and protrudes into the vagina. It has nothing to do with mali- gnancy. The only cure is by sur- gery, but this is of a type that is being done successfully every day. largest copper roofs in the world, is now in position, and only the interior construction remains to be done. SWIMMERS START Among the first groups of athletes.to use the facilities of the new centre will be the swimmers. Discussions are now going on with the Amateur Swimming Association to ar- range two international matches, one of them against the Russians, as soon as the centre opens. In addition, the Amateur Swimming Association has agreed to stage its 1964 cham- pionship meeting there next Au- gust. This will be an important meeting, as it will also con- stitute the trials from which Britain's Olympic swimming team will be chosen. The first use of the centre, however, is likely to be a resi- dential training and coaching course for young athletes, to be heid over the weekend of the Whitsuntide holiday, at the end of May. The Athletic Associa- tion also plans to use the cen- tre for at least one international athletics match next summer, FILL HOSTEL It is already apparent.that the hostel accommodation will be in great demand during the sum-- mer and autumn months of 1964. A residential course which has been arranged by the Football Association for trainers of Foot- ball League clubs will make use of the entire accommoda- tion of 140 places at the resi- dential hostel, There will also be one-week residential courses for the top swimmers and divers in the country, The lawn Tennis Asso- ciation will use the facilities of the centre for a_ two-week course next fall for the train- ing of professional coaches. When it is completed, it will provide facilities for all branches of sport and athletics and great emphasis will be placed on the training of coaches, and of the country's outstanding athletes to enable Britain to take a much more prominent place in world sport and athletics, particularly at the Olympic Games level, than has been the case in some re- cent years. The construction of this re- creational centre has attracted attention in many other cou- tries. A few days ago, a party of 30 leading architects from Moscow and Leningrad who are visiting London County Council, made a painstaking tour of in- spection of the Crystal Palace centre, BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Oct.

Closer To Co-0 By CAROL KENNEDY LONDON (CP)--After 41 ber- ren years of brooding about par- tition, there are faint signals that both the Republic of Ire. land (Eire) and Northern Ire- land are beginning to look be- yond that baneful questio to the prospect of co-operation in boosting the prosperity of Ire- land as a whole. The signals are admittedly faint but recent. speeches by the leaders of both areas have thawed the hitherto icy re'a- tions between North and South.

Terence O'Neill came last July, when Lemass made a speech in Tralee offering Northern tre- land economic co - operation right away and a guarantee of her constitutional rights in eny future move towards union. Capt. O'Neill took two moaths to reply to this, When he did, he surprised the Southerners by praising Lemass warmly for his initiative and by linking him- self with Lemass' "patriotism" in trying to improve economic conditions throughout Ireland. At the same time he stressed that any improvement in ecuno- mic relations would largely de- ' pend on the Eire govérnment's willingness to stamp out:the last traces-cf subversive activity. by generally to cease thinking in terms of an end to partition. But the tone of the speech was affable enough to prompt Le- mass the following day to sug- est economic talks "at any level and without political pre- conditions," BITTER HERITAGE This latter phase is significant indeed when one remembers how past exchanges between the two governments have been so riddled with political pin- pricks that it seemed as i' no amount of economic necessity could ever break down the bit- terness accumulated through four decades, Capt.

And this is how I found the talk of Mr. R. N. "Bob" Thompson, national leader of the Social Credit Party, when he arrived by air 'rom Austra- lia in time to attend the reopen- ing of Parliament, Mr.. Thompson had been on a two-week tour of New Zealand and Australia. He had visited big cities and small communi- ties. He was honored -as the guest of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, wel- d as guest by Ro- tary clubs, and shown the im- pressive sights by proud hosts happy to welcome a_ visitor from Canada. Our Commonwealth brothers "Down Under" have an affec- tionate interest in Canada, and they firmly believe that Canada, as the oldest and largest of the derivative British dominions, could and should play a power- ful leadership role within the Commonwealth, -especially in developing mutual trade and service with the new Asian and African nations of the Common- wealth. This was the most vivid inipress'on which Bob Thomp- son brought home. IMPRESSIVE FACTS He told me that he was. as- tonished to learn that in New Zealand the 'sheep popuiation outnumbers humans by 20 io one. He was impressed by the huge modern cities of Australia --a country with a population of only 11,000,000. Its chief vity, Sydney, is larger than any Ca- nadian city.

COMMONWEALTH - MINDED But it was the great admira- tion and respect for Canada and Canadians evidenced "Down Under" which made the deep- est impression upon Mr, Thomp- son. On all sides he heard talk of the importance and durabil- ity of the Commonwealth, on the magic o° this informal body which ig\yet more viable and more beneficial in potential even than the highly-organized and expensively-financed United Nations Organization. Sir Kent Hughes, who sup- ports in Parliamént the govern- ing Liberal-Country Party coali- tion led by Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies, reminded Mr. Thompson of the remark made by India's Prime Minister Nehru: "If Britain's Prime Min- ister Macmillan destroys the Commonwealth (by taking Brit- ain into the European Common Market) I shall rebuild it my- self." Mr. Thompson delivered sev- eral major speeches during his tour, and informally: addressed an average of two gatherings a day when he was honored at civic receptions presided over by the local mayors. Capacity crowds turned out to hear him, and at each of two rotary meet- ings the guests exceeded even the membership of the club. Great interest was aroused in his speech on "a future for the Commonwealth," and his. audi- ence stressed the great future. which could lie ahead of Can- ada as a world trader and as a leader within the Common- wealth if it would seize the op- portunity now facing it.
