Slowly, pain- "fully, those mistakes are being rectified, at least in part, by con- 'servation authorities.

It is fine for a city like London to offer water to the stricken farmers in the area; one of the reasons why farmers' wells are dry is the plundering of the subs-surface supply of water by the city. As the water table drops, wells must go deeper and deeper to main- tain a flow. But this does not solve the water problem, it simply aggra- vates it. The users are living off capital; each year they take out of the ground much more than nature can put in. Depletion of capital in- evitably ends in bankruptcy. The logical solution is the con- struction of a water grid -- a pipe- line system which will carry water trom Lake Huron or Lake Erie or both to the water-hungry com- munities which nowhere lie far from the lakes. The initial cost of such a project would be great -- but not as great as it would be if it were left until the withering of area growth made a crash program necessary. Claims and it has been in the hands of the cabinet for several weeks now. Presumably, it bears the original TCA transfer proposal out. The gov- ernment, in turn, has let it be known that no decision will be forthcoming until after the year- end. From the foregoing, two things emerge quite clearly. In the first place, the govern- ment is, for reasons of political pressure, interfering directly in matters which should be the sole. prerogative of TCA's own manage- ment, Secondly, even if such interfer- ence is overlooked for the moment, no amount of delay will likely make more economic that which is basically uneconomic.

He passes on his deepest discovery, YOUR HEALTH NEW BALL Conditions Decides Removal Of Teeth By Joseph G. Molner, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What causes pyorrhea? Is there a cure? Years ago I worked for an orthodontist, an am wonder ing what advances have been made since then, because he tried everything but the ulti- mate result was loss of teeth. Now my 37-year-old son has this trouble. He has consulted a number of dentists but they don't all agree. Some want to extract only a few teeth and leave the others for an abut- ment, Personally I feel all the teeth should be removed if they are diseased.--MRS. R. L. I can't agree that all his teeth should be removed. Perhaps so, perhaps not. It depends on the condition of those teeth. I've consulted Dr, Alfred E. Seyler, a dentist of considerable prominence and, I think, of skill which exceeds his reputation, By any standards, a fine one. When it comes to teeth, I want the word of an expert, and I don't pretend to be one. I'll give you the information he gave me. But first, what is pyorrhea? A disease of the gums, rather than of the teeth. It is quite possible (although perhaps not probable) that soneone without any cavities may still have pyorrhea. Germs congregate, not in the gums at first, but in the cre- vices between or on the surface of the teeth. As this continues, the gums become inflamed, at the tooth margins. There may be little or no pain. But as the germ colonies increase, they work down below the surface, along the tooth, and the gum recedes. There is no single germ. There are are many varieties. There is no drug that can "cure pyorrhea." There's no easy way of. stopping it. Yet it is not a hopeless prob- lem, either. We have antibio- tics, and we also have modern techniques. GALLUP POLL - My adviser states: 'Not many years ago pyorrhea or periodontitis, as we call it, was generally regarded as incurable and therefore doomed the teeth to removal. Today dentists have found methods to eliminate much pyorrhea without tooth extraction. If the ailment has continued too far, there isn't much to do. But with careful examination, often including X-ray, it now is possible to save the teeth that have not been too much dam- aged, while removing the ones for which there is no hope. Treatment includes medication, Special techniques for removing under-the-surface pockets of in- fection and care to prevent or remove sites of new infection. Having the teeth cleaned by a dentist every so often is cer- WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Donald Lloyd, in Harper's: Foreigners frequently emerge from meetings with Americans convinced -- although they prob- ably couldn't say exactly why-- that we are brainless and en- tirely uninterested in the life of the mind. Understandably, they are shaken by this .conclusion. But the many small habits which to- gether have created the impres- sion are not really the traits of the stupid American or ihe anti- intellectual American; they are the natural ways of the quiet- mouth American. Let me explain. Americans can be divided into two groups: The "'loudmouths" and the "quietmouths'. Loud- mouths make a business of ex- pressing their opinions, whether for duty, profit, or pleasure, These are the voices heard by all those who wish to plumb American character, American Senatorial Pay Boost Criticized By Majority By THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) If Senators had to go to the people for election, they would find themselves in a_ strong aurora of disapproval today. Sixty-six per cent of Canadians are against the recent increase in pay for Senators, from $10,000 a year to $15,000. Only 16 per cent approve. In a previous Gallup Poll sur- vey it was shown that 59 per cent disapprove the increases CANADA ....+08 EXECUTIVE .... WHITE COLLAR LABOR FARMERS ...ccccccescecscoce Among the reasons given for disapproval of the increases were: Raise was too much, 20 per cent... Already well paid, 19 per cent. . . Are not worth this much, 16 per cent. They sit and do nothing, 13 per cent Just figureheads, 11 per cent ... Other reasons, (Money should have been used for edu- cation, medicare, welfare; means increased. taxes; salaries too high as it is, etc.) 32 per cent, for. members of Parliament, with farmers (72 per cent) espe- cially against them. The same proportion of farmers -- 72 per cent -- are also against Senate increases. Of those who approve, about one in four say being a Senator is a responsible job while one in five of those who disapprove Say the increase was too much. The question: "What do you think about the recent increase in a Senator's income -- from $10,000 a year to $15,000 a year? Do you ap- prove or disapprove?"' Approve Disapprove Undecided 16% 22 63 28 55 14 64 8 72 Approval of the increases in- cluded such comments as: A job of responsibility, 26 per cent. . . Necessary expenses in- curred, 19 per cent ... High cost of living, 15 per cent . Devoted life to politics, 7 per cent . Will do better job, 6 per cent Other reasons, (Will encourage 'better men; record of work will improve; everyone else getting raise, etc.) 28 per cent. (Some gave more than one reason for approval and dis- approval.) tainly the best method of pre- venting pyorrhea, because it re- moves the tartar or calcu- lus which is such a breeding ground for germs. But even when pyorrhea has developed, painstaking care can save the teeth which have not been too much loosened, and saving some teeth is better than losing all. Or as Dr. Seyler puts it, "So far there are no medi- cines or miracle drugs which in themselves cure pyorrhea. Nothing can take the place of daily gum massage and regular visits to the dentist for thor- ough examinations." But you can quite easily avoid most pyorrhea, and you can now find out which teeth can be saved and which cannot, if the disease has gained a start but been recognized in time. Dear Dr. Molner: Would it be wise for a person to start play- ing tennis at the age of 30? I bowl occasionally, and am healthy except that I have an underactive thyroid.--J. H. There's no reason why you shouldn't play tennis. We'd all be better off if we started such sports at 30 instead of stopping them, as so many of us do. Take it easy in the beginning, policy, American public opinion. These are the journalists, ever busy, busy, busy, and forever seeming busier than they are »mainly by the noise they make. These are the politicians or their ghost writers, the captains of industry or their ghosts, the clergy moved by a holier Ghost. These are the columnists, writers of books dnd articles, critics, reviewers, biographers and autobiographers, street corner loungers and barflies buzzing the news straiznt from the horse's mouth. These -- all these -- are the loudmouths. Everybody knows what they think. All other Americans are the quietmouths, They are the ones who are touching the lives of foreign folk and being touched by them, more and more as time goes on. What do they think? Nobody knows, They don't Say. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS The depression of the 1930s began 34 years ago to- day--in 1929--when the New York stock market col- lapsed. Frenzied selling saw 16,000,000 shares change hands. By the end of 1929, stocks had declined $15,000,- 000,000 in value.

Britain has just shown the world an example of autorracy eat work in its most Bourbon- like and self - assertive way. There the leadtr of the Con- servative part yannounced his resignation as Prime Minister as well as party leader actually during the annual meeting of nation - wide representation of his party. Yet those delegatcs, assembled in formal conclave, were not invited to nominate their choices and lect their new leader. Instead, the ailing chieftain arbitrarily picked half a@ dozen candidates and sum- moned them to his hospital bedside; he ordered party and parliamentary officials to carry out an informal and selective poll by telephone and by word of mouth; and then he himself mominated one of those favor- ites to receive the formal acco- lade from the Queen. It is significant that, in the same country and under the: same system, if a similar situ- ation arose within the Labor party, the Queen would have no option but to recognize the leader democratically elected by a convention of that party, and appoint him as her Prime Minister. In the United States, each of the two large parties selects a ne wileader, or endorses the former one, by the vote of huge noisy gatherings of party representatives held every four years regularly. Here in Canada we have ex- amples of two methods, with two distinctive Canadian trim- mings. The New Democratic Party elects its leader for a specific term of two years, the present leader, Tommy Douglas, tells me. Every two years, a MNa- tional convention of his party is open to accept nominations for the job; the leader may be re-elected, as Tommy Douglas was this summer, or be re- placed if that is the wish of the majority. R. N. (Bob) Thomp- son tells me that his Social Credit party operates in exactly the same way, except that the term of office is, as in the U.S. four years. In contrast, the Liberal and Conservative parties each elect their leader for no definite term. In practice, he may hold office until he dies or resigns. There is no item "election of leader" on the agenda of annual meetings, end no established method of removing him if he loses majority support within his party. The present Liberal leader- ship enjoys the advice and aid of an amorphous background group of senior party consul- **tants, who keep the machine on the rails, The Tories today have no comparable set - up; their democratically - elected leader now appears more like an ab- solute monarch; their national Officials are dim, seemingly im- potent figures; many Tories complain that their nationa! of- . prod Ls --, * autocratic s m seemingly responsi- ble to the leader only. Some months ago the presi- dent of the Conservative Wom- ems Association, Senator Josie Quart, told me that about 80 per cent of the Tories she met on rset o-- - oes travels wan! orge Hees as header. This impressive Fain contrasts with the mere 62 per cent vote which made John Diefenbaker party leader in 1956, (The unpublicised vote at that convention was Diefenba- ker 774; Fleming 393; Fulton 117). ' Josie's 80 per cent had no machinery to implement its ap- parent wish. George Hees made no overt move himself; on the contrary he loyally supported his leader until the Cabinet resignations began. Yet that leader clambered from the po- garded him as a traitor, coup- ling his name with those of Judas Iscariot and Quisling. Britain's recent experience has been that the new Tory leader clambred from thé po- sition of being fifth favorite only. He was given preference over the darling of the "grass" --Quintin Hailsham--and over the pet of the "'brass"--Rab Butler. That experience raises the question: when the rank and fine of a party cannot im- plement their majority choice for their leader, what is democ- racy? QUEEN'S PARK Tunnel Route For Escapees BERLIN (Reuters) --The~ "forbidden zone," a 100 - yard -- off-limit strip on side of the Berlin wall, Mi made tunnel escapes impossible © and other methods of flight more difficult. It has not created a dead ; area, however. People living in the restricted area must have a special per- mit from the local police. This is valid for six months at a ~ time. The original decree stated that theatres, hotels and board- © ing houses were to be closed down in the "forbidden zone" and photography, camping, bathing and the storage of "am- munition, weapons and insecti- cides" were banned. The regulation applied to all nationalities, and was officially aimed at stopping infiltration of . "West Berlin revengists." * After the wall was built in © August 1961, a steady trickle of » refugees continued to reach the ~ - west. & East Germans swam border rivers--until barbed wire fences were strung under the water » surface, They jumped from roof ™ tops and windows of border « houses--until windows were bricked-up and police sentries with machine-guns were placed on the roofs. Some dug tunnels which en- abled large groups of refugees to crawl through to West Berlin underground, Others crashed vehicles through the wall. Now, the 'forbidden zone" makes. it virtually impossible for would - be refugees to get close enough to a wall to in- vestigate possible escape routes. Improvement Loan Difficulties Seen By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- You can see a problem for municipalities in the new federal municipal im- provement loan fund. Legislation to authorize pro- vincial co-operation in the fund is the reason for the short ses- sion om the 29th. The purpose of the fund is to ease unemployment. It will make loans to municipalities of two-thirds of the cost of qualify- ing projects. The loans will be at favorable terms, and a quar- ter of the amount won't have to be paid back if the projects are completed by March 31, 1966, The problem will be in what will qualify, ee There is a stipulation that the projects have to be things which normally wouldn't have been started at this time.

ARTS COUNCIL Smaller centres in the prov- ince may get a break out of the formation of the Ontario Council fo rthe Arts. It's not too clear yet precisely what the Council will do. Its broad terms of reference are to "promote" the arts and to give scholarships and other assis- tance. But its work, it seems, could largely be devoted to spreading "culture" to the | populated areas of the provinte. Its terms of reference put it in the same field as to Canada Council. And various cultural groups-- ballet, orchestras, play societies --in the larger centres have been getting support from the Canada council. There is a big field in the less populated areas, however, that the national council is hardly touching. The chairman of the Ontario Council, former Lieutenant-Goy- ernor J. Keiller Mackay, has already said he would like to see the council send out concert parties, instructors etc. through the province.
