ta meg AMINE DY AYA Ne AE ENE MEE REGAIN, MDA, Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited oe heen Ss 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1964-- Columbia River Treaty Needs Thorough Study The new agreement between Canada and the United States for control and development of the Columbia River system is almost ready for signing. It is difficult to tell whether or not it is a good agreement from a Canadian view- point, because External Affairs Minister Martin has been chary about giving details until signatures are on the document... But he has said that the treaty itself and the draft protocol will be placed before the Commons external affairs com- mittee for detailed study. The committee must give the agreement the most careful exami- nation, to make sure that Canada is not bartering sovereign control over up-stream waters for a com- paratively small sum -- in this case $420 million to be paid by the United States in return for down- stream benefits. The Columbia flows from Canada into the United States. The U.S. Northwest needs cheap power and flood control, and both needs can be accommodated by dams on 'the Columbia in Canada. Premier Ben- Chevrier To Lionel Chevrier is a suave, polished politician and a fairly able parliamentarian. He showed con- siderable administrative ability as the president*of the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority; indeed, he took a leading part in both promotion of the Seaway in Canada and the negotiation of the agreement with the United States. Now he is taking over a post that is essentially diplomatic -- that of Canada's High Commission to Britain. He has all the outward graces required of a diplomatic; he has wit and courtliness, and is always impeccably dressed. But it remains to be seen whether he has the other qualities required of the post. There should be no mistake about it -- the Canadian High Com- missioner to Britain has a working job. There is a certain amount of ceremonial to it, but that is just window-dressing. The High Com- missioner is in effect an ambas- sador, responsible for looking after nett of British Columbia wants money -- and wants it just as urgently as the Northwest wants flood control. Mr. Bennett upset the 1961 treaty at the last moment because he wanted more money. Under the new agreement, he will probably get more. But in the pro- cess, will Canada be giving away control over upstream flow, not only of the Columbia but of other rivers which wind up in the United States? General A. G. L. McNaughton, former Canadian chairman of the International Joint Commission, which worked on the Columbia negotiations, had serious reserva- tions about the 1961 treaty. Mr. Martin says that the new treaty not only provides for a larger U.S. payment but meets most of the objections of Gen. McNaughton and other critics. We cannot tell until details of the agreement are re- vealed, Parliament must make sure that a vital Canadian water and power source is not surrendered in perpe- tuity to the United States. Britain all Canada's interests in the United Kingdom, capable of assessing the implications to Canada of the twists and turns of British policies and developments, and able to in- terpret Canadian policies and aims to the British. There have been enough strains on Canadian-British relations in the postwar years to make the job a difficult and delicate: one. The flareup over Britain's proposed membership in the European Com- mon Market showed what is needed in the way of diplomatic know-how and finesse. It was no secret that Mr. Chev- rier was to leave the Pearson cabinet to make way for a French-Cana- dian who could draw greater sup- port from Quebec. But Mr. Chevrier could not just. be dropped; he de- served something better than that. And the High Commissioner's post is a plum. We can only hope that Mr. Chevrier's reward will also prove a rewarding appointment for Canada. Service Worth Support This is the week the War Amps Key Tag Service launches it 1964 program to sell key tags to Cana- dian car owners. First batch of 3% million car key tags will go into the mails to Ontario motorists, part of a total national distribution of nine million key tags. Allan David Piper, general man- ager of the War Amps Key Tag Service, stated that since the key tag service was started in 1946 over 89,900 sets of lost car keys have been returned to their rightful owners by the Service. Last year 5,816 sets of keys were returned to Ontario car owners. A tragic but revealing sidelight of the War Amps Key Tag Service occurred soon after the disastrous air crash at Ste. Therese, Quebec, when the finding of a war amps key tag helped to identify one of the victims. She Oshawa Fines T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

Other Editors' Views VERBAL LABOUR (Fort William Times-Journal) There are sceptics around who fear that the mountainous volume of words attending discussions of plans for the Dominion's centennial celebration is apt to make the ac- tual] celebrations look like a mole- hill by comparison.

Fred Cass. As the session gets under way opposition members are itching to get at Mr. Cass. They figure that he is ripe. They think they have him pinned down on used cars-- where he only ondered an in- quiry apparently after being prodded by NDP Leader Don- ald MacDonald. _ They are waiting to accuse him of mishandling the Ontario Police Commission. And there. are other matters over which they think they can make hay. GOOD MAN They may be wrong. The writer personally feels that Mr. Cass may be more than a match for his oritics. The attorney-general is an able man. He's probably the best to have handled this im- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan. 18, 1964...

GALLUP POLL portant portfolio for more than a decade -- possibly the best since the late Leslie Blackwell. Mr. Cass is blunt, and can be abrupt. This offends some people. But he is an exceptionally good administrator, has a deep feeling for law and justice, and though a good politician is not overly influenced by political considerations. GIVEN A MESS Mr. Cass's major problem is that he was handed a mess. The attorney-general's depart- ment had deteriorated under the former incumbent, Hon. Kelso Roberts. Within the department itself morale was down and so was the calibre of the organization. YOUR HEALTH The OPP was coming apart at the seams. And etandards in 'the lower courts, which had been operating without practi- cally any supervision, were poor. You don't straighten out situ- ations such as. this overnight, And you don't do it without hurting some people. Mr. Cass has been tackling the problem _ vigorously--and, again, with this he has been offending some people. You admire him for this. The attorney -. general's re- spect for the law, in turn, pre- vents him from being a crowd pleaser. Before ordering an inquiry into used cars he wanted spe- cific evidence (as the writer noted he would when the first demand was made for the probe). When the evidence was presented he acted, With the police commission, of course, he again was handed a mess. When this commission was set up nobody really knew oa what it was supposed 0 do. Vitamins Useful But Not In Excess By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I read re- cently that vitamin pills are worthless and that the public is being fleeced out of millions of dollars a year. Is this true?--MRS. R. No, vitamin Rills are anything but "worthless. Yet it is true that the public is being fleeced in many in- stances. Vitamins, no matter where you get them are necessary for health. In the final analysis, they are necssary for life. The person who eats a rea- sonably well-balanced diet gets the vitamins he needs. Dumping more vitamins in him, via pills, is an utter waste. You can't get "twice as healthy" Most Canadians Claim No Special Ambitions By The Canadian Institute Of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) Canadians are not overly in- spired by any special ambitions for 1964. Only 37% of the peo- ple say they hope to achieve something special in the forth- coming year and 63% say no, they have no specific objectives. Understandably, almost half the younger age group (those between 21 and 29 years) agree that they hope to achieve some. Over 50 years ..s.cesccceses thing special in 1964 while sev- en-in-ten of those over 50 years have no special ambition. Among those who do hope to realize some special ambition, the one named by most (30%) has to do with a new home or home improvements. Next comes occupational or job im- provements -- 20%. The question: "DO YOU HAVE ANY SPE- CIAL AMBITION WHICH YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE IN THE FORTHCOMING YEAR? No ambition Yes, an ambition 63% Those who said yes, they had some special ambition for 1964, were then asked to name it: (1) Buy a new house; improve home; build a cottage 30% (2) Improve job situation; expand business start own business eee errr ee rerr rrr ee (3) Improve financial situation; get out of debt .

Anything beyond that is superfluous. Most of the fleecing of the public in this regard is done by high pressure salesmen' who convince people that they '"'can't be healthy" unless they eat such-and-such brand of '"'vita- min and mineral supplements." RASH PROMISES Even wores, some of these high-pressure lads have been caught promising people that such pills will cure or protect against everything from chil- blains to cancer. This, of course, is downright falsification, And the prices charged for "'a month's supply" of such pills is enough to make ethical pharma- ceutical manufacturers grab for the aspirin bottle. Do not fall for the claim that i have to eat pills to be ealthy. On the other hand, vitamins properly used can be very help- ful. Some people habitually stick to a meat-and-potatoes diet, rarely eating vegetables or fruits, maybe not even bother- ing with juice for breakfast. They get some of the vitamins they need, but they miss others. For them, supplementary vi- tamins are in order, The same is true of elderly people, especially those living alone, and those who because of poor teeth or other reasons have difficulty in eating. They often limit themselves to things that 'are easy to eat--and over the years acquire considerable vita- min deficiencies, Use your head and you won't waste good money on vitamins you don't need. But by the same token, if your doctor notes that you aren't getting your vitamins through daily meals, he will eupply what you lack. gaat ial NAD LE ARNG SEG NAGI AAG geist dais UNITED KINGDOM OPINION British Seek Solutions To Manpower Problems By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent - For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- With the send- ing of some 2,000 British troops to restore law and order in that strife-torn island, the question of Britain's widely-stretched mili- tary forces has been forced into the headlines. The British army is faced with heavy commit- ments in various trouble spots around the globe -- in Cyprus, Malaysia, Aden, Kenya and Bor- neo, and at the same time has 55,000 of her crack troops tied down on the Rhine as part of the NATO army in Europe. That the situation is serious for the over-stretched Britisl military resources is indicated by the alternative solutions which are being proposed. One is that some of the 55,000 troops | gtationed in West Germany should be . withdrawn and brought back to Britain as a strategic reserve ready for quick despatch to any area in which trouble flares up. The other is that some form of se- lective service, or of calling up reserve army units be resorted to in order to build up the armed forces. BOTH UNDESIRABLE Neither of these alternatives could be undertaken without grave repercussions. Withdraw- al of part of the NATO army would create difficulties with Britain's NATO partners. The Daily Express goes so far as to advocate that all of Britain's 55,000 troops should be brought home from Germany, but it is fighting a lone battle, with no support from other sources. On the other hand, to revive na- tional military training, even on a selective service basis, would be a disastrous step for the gov- ernment to take in an election year. Behind this difficulty of short- age of manpower to meet all of the country's military commit- ments around the world is the drastic decline in recruiting, and that stems from the fact that in a country enjoying full employment it is not easy to in- duce young men to enlist in the armed forces. Z The withdrawal of part of the Rhine army would be a much more popular solution than a re- vival of conscription, and there is a feeling that even Britain's NATO allies might not raise too much objection to that course. The speed with which forces could be flown from Britain to Germany in the event of an emergency is one argument which could be effective in BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO Jan. 18, 1924 William Lambert was ap- pointed temporary bandmaster of the Ontario Regimental Band. Oshawa came third in On- tario and fifth in the Dominion for building permits issued dur- ing December. The amount was $260,685 over the same month of the previous year. George Hezzlewood, secretary of the Oshawa Amateur Athletic Association, declared that there was plenty of moral support, but little financial support for the erection of an arena. Bandmaster Samuel. Trew was honored at a banquet when he was presented with a gift by Maj. Frank Chappell on be- half of the Ontario Regiment at the time of Mr. Trew's depar- ture for the south.

Two new public schools, the $150,000 Centre Street School and the one on Simcoe street north were nearing completion. A. large addition to the Oshawa High School was being construct- ed, Mrs. F. W.

WILSON'S MOVE ic discussion, Har- old Wilson, Labor leader, has made a shrewd move.

INCREDIBLE MARRIAGE Dear Sir: Much has appeared in the press lately of a proposed mer- ger or "marriage" between the Liberal and New Democratic parties. To quote the NDP On- tario leader, Don MacDonald "This is a political will-of-the- wisp" --- nonsense in other words. There are unsurmountable dif- ferences in policy, principles, philosophies ang ideals that could never be allied. The financing of each is to- tally at variance; one is by big, big business, the other by in- dividual membership and or collective unionists. The New Democratic party is not sup- ported by and therefore in no way obligated to corporate in- terests. It is responsible only to its members and a conven- tion-determined _ constitutional program. There may be some in -both camps that hold personal ambi- tion higher than party policy. This could, and apparently has, led to some political back door discussion; however, it is im- portant to note that the leaders of the New Democratic party are quick to emphasize that "they have no intention of en- tering into any discussion in any way, shape or form, look- ing to any such merger." In my opinion it is just a mat- ter of time before the Liberal Party will fade from the poli- tical scene in Canada as it has in many other countries. The "so- cial conscious" among . their ranks will depart and become instrumental in the progress and inevitable success of the New Democratic Party, while the right wing conservatives will find their own place within the Conservative Party. The increasing realization by the electorate is that the New Democratics offer the only true attempt to elevate national de-. fence to the bipartisan level. There can be no doubt that Mr. Wilson could make political cap- ital over such a refusal, He would then concentrate on an all-out attack on the govern- tgs my dilemma * out having to emphasize ; face that Labor has not yet adopted an official defence policy. FARMERS TO FIGHT . The government is also going to be faced with another eral election dilemma. Britain's farmers are making their plans . to mount the toughest ever cam- paign for improvement of the earnings of farmers. They are to carry the fight Rrbeg. into the annual price review with the government next month. The government is faced with a delicate problem, In order to give the farmers the higher in- comes they demand, it is inevitable that the prices of food: must rise. On the other hand, the Conservatives depend to a © very great extent on holding rural constituencies if they are to have any hope of winning the general election. And the Na- tional Farmers' Union has given a firm warning that unless farmers are given an immedt- ate rise in their incomes the government will 'have to take the consequences when the elec- tion 'is held, The farmers want the price review to make full allowance for. increased costs amounting to $60 million a year. On top of that, they want higher prices im- mediately for milk, sugar beets, pigs and other livestock to allow them to earn as much as people in other industries. The 'inevi- table result of this would be to increase prices to housewives. Milk and meat prices will cer- tainly go up if the farmers have their way. So, between the demands of the farmtrs, and the need to keep the cost of living to the housewives at a stable level, the government is certainly between the devil and the deep sea, ine zer when a general election is jue. READERS' VIEWS alternative or opposition to the Conservatives: Any marriage or merger to prove possible would have to be by the Conservatives and the Liberals. They do not have any real differences. One criticizes the other for doing ex- actly the same things they've enjoyed themselves; back and forth like a see-saw, with only a name 'to distinguish one from the other. ' In the meantime however, as Donald MacDonald stated "in the Province of Ontario and for the public interest we (the NDP and Liberals) must co-operate wherever possible, so as to provide the strongest, most constructive and therefore the most effective opposition possible to this large majority Conservative government." In Ottawa Tommy contends "that to avoid the bur- den of another election at this time, we the New Democratics are prepared to support the Lib- eral minority government in effecting necessary and over- due legislation." These points of view can cer- tainly, by no stretch of the im- agination, be construed to be a proposal of marriage. Such a marriage, I'm afraid, would result in an unfortunate miscarriage.
