Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1963----PAGE 6 'Good Enough For Trade 'But Not For Canada is in the position of the « southern storekeeper who depends "on purchases by Negroes to turn 'a profit but does not want to share "a restaurant with Negroes or stay » in the same hotel with them. Once again this week Canada «voted against the admittance of China to the United Nations -- and - by China we mean the effective » government of the great land mass "in Asia that is inhabited by Chin- . ese, not the tawdry puppet gov- ernment which foisted itself upon the island of Formosa and continu- es to exist only through the aid and comfort of the United States. This is the same China with which we have a trade agreement, the China which has been buying huge quantities of Canadian wheat and thereby has been not only sup- | porting the Canadian economy but substantially easing the problems of the Wheat Board and federal ministers of agriculture. If the Communist government of China is too evil to be admitted even to an organization that gives UN Place veto power to other Communists and lists among its members such quaint rabbles as Indonesia and some of the African and Middle Eastern states, then we should not be doing any business with them; their money should be considered as tainted as 'their political morals. If they are acceptable customers, then surely they must be acceptable political neighbors, particularly when we accept other just as ques- tionable characters in the neigh- borhood. Let us admit all the horrifying facts about the Communist govern- ment of China; but let' us admit, too, that it is the government of China -- and that Chiang, were he in control of the mainland, would be just as brutal, just as totalitar- ian, And let us admit, finally, that if there is to be some fine standard of conduct to be established as qualification for UN membership, the UN might just as well disband, because not enough nations could meet any sort of standard to form a practical quorum, Our Oldest Business This week has been set aside for a well deserved recognition of wood -- National Forest Products Week -- and we are happy to join in the salute to the nation's oldest busi- ness. The first business in Canada was lumbering. Nicolas Denys, who arrived in Acadia with Commander Razilly in 1632, cut the first lum- ber on the LaHave and at the west- ern end of Lunenburg Bay. When he shipped planks, rafters and square timber to France in 1634 they became the first manufac- tured commodity ever exported from Canada. There's a strong sus- picion that Leif Erickson carried lumber from Nova Scotia to Green- land and Iceland several centuries earlier, but it was probably "raw" lumber, untrimmed. Canada has always been a great producer and exporter of wood and wood products. The forest is a natural renewable resource which pours out bounty to all Canadians at the rate of more than a quarter of a million dollars every hour, day and night, for 365 days of the year. About one dollar in every eight of the national income is derived di- rectly from the forests. In terms of export trade, one dollar in three comes from the sale of wood or wood products, The protection and perpetuation of our forests are clearly every- one's business -- an area in which the businessman, the camper, the tourist, the city dweller of every age can work with the hundreds of professional foresters employed by government and private indus- try. In many places, the forests have been savagely denuded by money- hungry operators. Only fairly re- cently have the provinces, custo- dians of 90 per cent of the nation's timber, been developing sustained- yield programs. Sustained yield is based on the view that trees are a crop, and that successive crops may be grown and harvested without depleting the forest capital. Public opinion should demand that there be no deviation from this principle. When It Moves, Shoot "You just stand there, looking cute: And when you shoot." These lines from Tom Lehrer's satirically humorous song for hunt- ers, says The Prince Rupert News, can "be applied seriously to a large number of gun-toting city types who invade the British Columbia wilderness each autumn and blaze away indiscriminately." The B.C. paper continues: Each year during the hunting season an unnecessary toll in human lives is taken by trigger-happy hunters. As well, they show a blatant disregard for our wildlife by leaving animals and birds wounded through pot shots. Signi- ficant numbers of geese and ducks, deer and big game animals, are left to die in what is nothing but an appalling waste. Bie Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

In a day when there is no need for slaughter of our wildlife for sub- sistence, every hunter who goes out for his bag in the name. of sport and pleasure should be concerned with making his shots good and making good use of his catch. Our laws are directed to this end. Hunting should not be considered a right but a privilege. It has been a privilege ever since man developed the weapons that give him unlim- ited advantage by which he has aiso completely obliterated several species of birds and and animals from the face of the earth. It is a privilege which should be. used with the utmost discretion. If it were exercised with discretion by all there would be a lot less waste- ful killing and property damage. Other Editors' Views SELECTION (Port Arthur News Chronicle) Secretary of State Jack Pickers- gill is reported as saying that he appointed 26-year-old Gordon Shep- pard as his special assistant in charge of cultural affairs "because I liked the look of him." In view of the turmoil over culture these days, that's probably as good a way as any of picking a man. Briefly Noted A psychologist says babies are kored a great deal of the time. No doubt -- babies are people. er HE SEEMED SUCH A NICE NEIGHBOR REPORT FROM U.K. Father, Son Split ' Over Recreation By McIntyre Hood Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times TUNBRIDGE WELLS, Kent-- A father and son are at odds in this Kentish town over the provision of entertainment and recreation facilities for the teen- age population. Councillor Roland Woodlard is chairman of the Tunbridge Wells entertainment committee. While he was presiding over a meeting at the town hall to discuss the committee's plans, his 18-year-old son; N'gel, was chairman of another meeting being held in his home, a meet- YOUR HEALTH ing of teenagers which attack- ed his father's committee for its "lack of enterprise" in pro- viding entertainment for the young people in the town. Nigel, who is treasurer of a youth club, has launched a pe- tition calling for action from his father's committee to improve the facilities and criticizing its policies. NOTHING PERSONAL Nigei emphasized that he was not making a personal attack on his father, but rather on the committee. But his views that Tunbridge Wells is a place for "old fogeys and the retired" has sparked off a row between Drugs Like Fire: Can Kill Or Save By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: How does phenobarbital affect the heart? Could it be harmful if I in- creased the dosage over the amount prescribed?--Mrs. A. H. I'm well aware of several re- cent magazine articles pointing out the dangers of barbiturates, of which phenobarbital is, of course, one, S I wish there were some magic method of impressing on people the importance of having a healthy respect for barbitu- rates, But there isn't any such way. It's like fire. In cold cli- mates, without fire to heat our houses, and elsewhere to cook our food and run trains and planes and blast furnaces, we'd be in such a pickle that in the course of one winter we'd be dying off as fast as the pilgrims did in that first winter in New England. We must respect the uses of fire. We must also constantly remind ourselves of its dangers --the child playing with matches or fooling with a bon- fire, the heater that causes car- bon monoxide, the peril of for- est fires, a house aflame. Fire can kill us, Fire can keep us alive. Barbiturates -- and countless other drugs--can do likewise. Don't let them harm you. Use them intelligently. . Phenobarbital (in your case) calms the system and relieves tension. This in-tdrn causes the heart rate to slow down, or to eliminate extra beats, All to the good, That helps. But should you increase the dose? Positively not. Just be- cause a furnace makes the house comfortable, you shouldn't increase its heat until it explodes. I may sound elementary about this, but the principle is elementary. Enough is fine and too much can be disastrous and drugs are, like fire, a powerful force. The dividing line between "enough"? and "'too much" is difficult to define. So don't ever change any drug dosage without your doctor's sanction. [I wouldn't think of telling my plumber how to do his job, or my TV repairman, or any of the people upon whom I rely for good results. I expect them to know their jobs. They gen- erally do. Well, your doctor * Knows his job, too. Dear Dr. Molner: After a hysterectomy at the age of 49, is it necessary to have a "Pap test" every six months or s0? --~8, A. B, The "Pap test" is aimed és- sentially at detecting abnormal (cancerous) cells if they appear at the cervix, or 'neck of the womb." That's a _ vulnerable area, although we don't know why. Find out from your doctor whether the cervix was re- moved. If it was not, then a routine "Pap test" is wise. Dear Dr. Molner: I was told that by drinking two shot glasses of brandy a day I would never have prostate trouble. ~~ you for your opinion.-- You're welcome, sir, but pay no attention to such a wild statement. I wish that such a simple precaution would work, but it won't, The only reason I explode the endless collection of goofy theories js that so many of them keep cropping up, and people--not quite sure whether to ignore them--want a little moral support for their common sense, adults and Nigel: "The committee lacks enter- prise in providing entertainment for youngsters. They. cater too much for old people, It is about time they did something for us. This is a dead' town so far as we are concerned; a place for old fogeys and the retired," The young man, however, is not having it all his own way in his argument with his father's committee. Councillor Woodland commented: "I imagine this all started be- cause I suggested there might not be so many dances this winter. I have every sympathy with these young people, and I am going to see what can be done. My daughter has to go to Hastings for a dance every Saturday night." ANOTHER VIEWPOINT But another councillor, James Ludden, who is a school head- master, took the side of the committee. He said: "I think the town is livelier than it was. More young cou- ples are buying homes here and in 10 years, it will be full of young people. The trouble is that the youngsters want every- thing handed to them on a plate. Why don't they try and entertain themselves by join- ing youth clubs and organizing their own dances and sports competitions?"' The mayor, Councillor John Spare, expressed this opinion: "Facilities at Tunbridge Wells are as good as in other places tl same size, There have been proposals to turn the Great Hall into a skating rink. I am not convinced this would be well enough supported. I would rather see the town have a modern works than a dance hall." But the controversy _ still rages. Peter Askew, 17, added this to it: "People just wander about in the evenings with nowhere to go But of course, there is al- ways the theatre and the sym- phony orchestra -- if you hap- pen to like that sort of thing." Roger Miller, aged 19, com- ments; "I would like to see a larger swimming bath or a bowling alley to give us some- thing to do." But just as Councillor Lud- den said, these young people do seem to want everything han- ed to them on a plate, with no effort on their part, teenagers.

Parliamentary TV To Kindle Interest By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- If I were State Secretary Jack Pickersgill for a day, I would spend that day us- ing his position as the minister responsible for broadcasting and arrange for the regular telecasting of selected proceed- ings of Parliament. At present, our only telecast of Parliament is the annual opening ceremony, featuring the RCMP horses and the Peace Tower, with the Governor-Gen- eral and "black Rod' in sup- porting roles, and a chorus of red-robed Supreme Court jus- tices. (Oh, if we only had color TV!) Instead of that cream-puff of pageantry, we should '1ave reg- ular screenings of extracts from the daily question period, which is the liveliest and most crowded hour in the House of Commons, as well as extracts from keynote speeches from leading parliamentarians, These would be recorded on tape and shown after the news programs. The declared purpose in tele- vising this essence of Parlia- ment would be to kindle the smouldering public interest in its work, WHERE OUR MONEY GOES The average Canadian gives infinitely more attention to his choice of, say, a major piece of household equipment--which costs him: three weeks' pay-- than to the expenditure of his federal taxes, which in total cust him three months' pay every year, This is not merely bad citizenship; it is idiocy, en- couraging the ever-increas'ng upward spiral of federal expen- diture, which is sometimes ex- travagant and wasteful, and hence encouraging higher taxes. MPs who championed efficient and economic government on our TV screens would find their re-election made easier. On the other hand, exposure of certain MPs on television screens across the country would have a salutary effect on the puer- . ility and pomposity which today litters the Hansard record of parliamentary proceedings. Imagine the surge' of indig- nant letters which would flood in to inept MPs. Greater use would certainly be made of the privilege whereby anyone may write to any MP free of pos- tage stamp, so long as the let- ter is addressed to him at the House of Commons at Ottawa. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 24, 1963... The British 8th Army un- der Montgomery launched an offensive against) Axis forces at El Alamein 21 years ago today -- in 1942. After a heavy preliminary bombardment along a six- mile front the way was cleared through minefields and tank traps for an ar- mored break-through that led to Tunisia and the clear- ing of Axis forces from all North Africa. 1852--The Toronto Stock Exchange was opened. 1938--A British gunboat was bombed by Japanese planes on the Yangtse River in China. ina moment. Darl Such a target might be the MP who rose in his seat and asked the prime minister: "Does the government intend to issue a postage sta: p to com- memorate the acquisition of American nuclear arms by Can- ada?" As the prime minister re- torted, so many questions are both foolish and out of order, TV would quickly reveal the intelligent orator and the quick- w.tted participant in the ques tion period, In short, exposure on the nation's TV screens would constitute a crash pro- gram to improve parliamentary rformance, In exactly this 'ay, broadcasting the Austral- jan Parliament has improved the performance and stimulated public. interest in public affairs, QUEEN'S PARK ¢ by television. | Kennedy's triumph over in the leet US. presides. ae ase eee tial campaign was largely won on the f'V scroons, whore tp outshone his rival both in ora- tory and, significantly, ip makeu Pp.

And the lowest winning mar- gin in any of the four ridings being appealed is 19 votes (Brantford). It's unlikely Oct. 29, the date of the special session, will see any of the recounts finished. So at that one - day affair Huron - Bruce, Brantford, Tor- onto Bracondale and Grey North will not be represented, All four members being chal- lenged are Liberals. And none can be officially elected until after the appeal. So at that session the official standing will be only 20 Lib- erals, 77 PC and 7 NDP. BOOZE TALK There may be further changes for the better in our silly liquor laws. Melcher's Distillery was fiaed $5,000 for selling liquor from its office. In this Melcher's was the goat, Every major distiller in the country does the same thing, or essentially the same thing. They all have agents peddling booze. And if you are a cus- tomer the agent will bring you a bottle to your home, your of- fice or anywhere else you say. This practice is strictly ille- gal. But it has long been winked at, Though LCBO officials quite frankly have not liked it it has been too entrenched to wipe out --or so they thought. A few months ago, however, Premier Robarts made a move towards taking liquor out of pol- itics. He shifted Hon. Allan Gross- man out of the chairmanship of the LCBO. And to replace him he appointed a prominent bus- inessman. And it's reported he intends to take a business-like approach to this problem, among others. He will first fry and get the distilling industry itself to clean up the selling problem--with hospitality Melcher's as a pithy example to make them move, i Actually it isn't against law for distilleries to have A. agents, But in each case before delivery 'they. should have a signed slip from the customer, ree they haven't been getting is, -- prema at agara Fall which started serving "gente glasses of beer a while ago started a fuss that is still on the go. : The yard glasses were to mock the Liquor Licence Board ruling which says you can only serve one glass or bottle of beer at a time to a customer.

But they can't get rid of them--the customer is right. The odd-ball angle is that the rule against double servings or- iginally had nothing at all to do with the way a person should drink.
