ee ane ae Sa eee ee Bhye Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher ' MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1964---PAGE 6 Canadian Parties May Learn About Coalition 'Leaders of the New Democratic party have made it quite clear that, while they might consider joint action with the Liberals under cer- tain circumstances, they are not in the least interested in organic union. The unofficial discussions which have taken place between various members of the two par- however, have renewed de- sate about the proliferation of po- "Yitical parties in Canada. " Most of the discussion has cen- tred on an old, favored theme: the need for a return to a two-party system. There has been surprising- ly little discussion of the possibility - that the two-party system may be ' too inflexible for today's develop- ing democratic society, simply be- cause it offers too simple and too rigid a choice of expression to the voter. There are now in Canada the Liberals, the Conservatives, the New Democrats, the Social Credit- ers of Western Canada, the Que- Object Lesson In Fish Little more than a hundred years ago there were great spawning runs of salmon in all the rivers and large éreeks flowing into Lake Ontario in this part of the province. Early settlers drove their rigs into the water and pitchforked the fish into the wagons; salted salmon was a staple winter food. The Don river, now an open sewer, was famous for its salmon runs. Have we learned anything in the interval about the danger of our mad assault on resources? Not very much, it would seem. A group of researchers has found that 12 species of North American fresh water fish now are either. extinct or on the verge of being wiped out. The American Society of Ichthyolo- gists and Herpetologists has a list of nearly 100 additional species of fish which are exceedingly rare or threatened with extinction. It may not be important to our bec Social Credit Rally, and -- still a legal party -- the Communists. The Quebec splinter may cause a fatal infection in the Social Credit body, but the party is not likely to vanish from provincial politics in Alberta and British Columbia for a while. In addition, the Liberals, Con- servatives and New Democrats all have the right and left wings, This division has been blamed for lack of government strength at Ottawa. But it could be argued that it is poor political calibre rather than division of political strength that causes the weakness in Par- liament. Some other countries are gov- erned quite well by coalitions rep- resenting a delicate balance of po- litical opinion and facing the op- position of parties outside the coal- ition. It may be that Canada is on the way to developing such a sys- tem; it may be that no one party can adequately represent the reg- ional and social diversity of Canada. survival that the salmon have van- ished from Lake Ontario, that the Lake trout have almost vanished, that the lake is now filled with coarse fish. But the reasons for the changes are im- portant, and in a very direct way have an influence on our ability to survive with the resources at hand. The salmon and other species have vanished or are vanishing for well-known reasons -- domestic and industrial pollution, water diversion and careless use of toxic chemicals including pesticides, the leaching of _ chemical fertilizers from farm- lands, water siltation through for- est removal and poor agricultural practices, lowered water tables. What we cannot seem to under- stand is that when we destroy the environment for fish, we destroy it for ourselves as well; that we cannot indefinitely spoil and waste our resources without bankrupting ourselves in the end. Languages In Canada There is a common error com- mitted in many discussions about "Canadians who speak this or that language, the Port Arthur News Chronicle argues. It concerns refer- ences to the bloc of "five or six million" Canadians who belong to neither the English nor the French language groups. The Port Arthur paper states its case thus: The number of people in this country whose mother tongue is nei- ther English nor French is 2,454,- 562 (according to the 1961 census). : There are, however, 4,701,226 people in this country whose ethnic origin is neither French nor English. To show how confused the picture real- ly is, there are 32,925 persons of British ethnic origin who speak no language but French! : There is a third significant (cen- sus) figure. The number of people who speak neither English nor French but the language that is indicated by their ethnic origin is only 1,987,954. In other words, there are 466,608 persons speaking neither French nor English who The Oshawa Fines T. L. WILSON, Publisher C. GWYN KINSEY.

Other Editors' Views MILITARY TOES (Calgary Albertan) Mr. Hellyer's chief crime, it seems to us, is that he is looking farther ahead than his critics; and that he has tramped on the toes of one of Canada's most sacred cows, the entrenched military es- tablishment, in order to do the things he feels are necessary. The Canadian reaction to Mr. Hellyer's shake-up may well be similar to that which met U.S. Defence Sec- retary Robert McNamara when he locked horns with the Pantagon. But Mr. McNamara is now recognized as one of the best defence secretar- ies the United States has ever had.

MOLNER, MD Dear Dr, Molner; Can a per- son have a virus infection with- out running a_ temperature? What are the symptoms? Are three different kinds of viruses? =X, Yes, you can have a virus in- fection without afever . You elso can have one with a fever. For the simplest example, you can have a cold and no fever, or have flu with a fever. Both are virus diseases, but caused by different viruses, Perhaps we may have made too much use of the phrase, "'its a virus," when people have some sort of transient illness which doesn't fit into the pat- tern of well - established dis- eases, Just the same, that's usually the right answer. We may not know which virus is to blame. There are a great number of them. Many diseases are caused by germs. Others are not. A heart attack, for example, is not the result of sudden assault by germs -- although some other heart ailments can be The word "germs" include several kinds: Bacteria, viruses protozoans, yeasts, fungi, rick- ettsiae, which are similar to viruses, For some years now we have had the antibiotics, which are very effective against bacteria but do not, for the most part, have muh effect on the other types of '"'germs." We have a GALLUP POLL by the million, and posters by the tens of thousands and book- lets by the ton, And these same presses are standing by ready for the day when the out- put of election propaganda will reach its full flood. In the headquarters of the three major political parties, the boys in the backrooms, many of them highly-qualitied public relations experts, are few. drugs which attack some of the other forms, but not very many. From bacteria, you might have boils, scarlet fever, tuber- culosis, strep throat, syphilis, diphtheria, dysentery, lockjaw, bubonic plague and some oth- ers. From viruses you might have smallpox, measles, polio, hepa- titis, warts, cold sores, chicken- pox or hydrophobia. If you have pneumonia, it might be from a virus or from bacteria, Either can cause it. There are probably a hundred or more varieties of viruses that cause colds and several that cause flu, For all I know, there may be more viruses than bac- teria. They are still all germs. We have a partial answer to bacteria, and a fractional an- swer to viruses, and may never have a complete answer to either, But let's not lose track of the basic fact that germs are one of several factors which. at- tack our health. We are com- batting all factors, as best we can, and the more we. under- stand them, the beter we can fight them. Dear Dr. Molner: Is there a specific test to detect the begin- ning of arteriosclerosis, or hard- ening of the arteries?--EST No. It's as subtle as trying to design a specific test "to detect the beginning of getting old." Some of us age fast, some slow. This is also true of our arter- ies. Performance Of Ottawa Liberals Given Rating The cuetia Institute OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Thirty-five per cent of Cana- dians rate the performance of the Liberal administration in Ottawa as excellent or good.

LABOR'S PLANS At Transport House, headquarters of the Labor _ party, some lessons have. ap- parently been learned from the 1959 general election. In that campaign Labor headquarters issued 18 different posters which were spread on hoard- ings all over the country. This time, only two different post- ers will be issued and it is i d to 'trate on them the most telling of the party's propaganda slogans. In the 1959 election, the Labor party spread its efforts through 2% assorted leaflets which were pushed through the letter boxes, but proved too much for the average voters to digest. This time, the party is to trate on a much smaller variety of pam- phiets, but t. print them in millions, with the idea of mak- ing a stronger impact on the electors by raking fewer points with greater force. BULKY VOLUME One election priece of litera- ture which the Labor party has already published is a bulky volume, entitled "Twelve Wasted Years" and costing 1.50. Said a Labor spokesman, "It is a Bible of Tory sins re- calling all they have said and done while in power. If the Tories go on doing silly things extra pages will be added," Over on the other side of Smith Square, at Conservative headquarters, there was a great deal more reticence in discuss- ing election propaganda plans. The spokesmen there shied away from discussing their in- tentions. One of them said: "I am afraid our general election plans are too confl- pogo to tell you. But we are all ready to go when the date is announced. You tell me the date of the election, and I will be able to tell you more." At the same time, there were signs of intense activity at the Tory HQ. The Liberal party is playing a waiting game with its elec- tion printing plans. So far, only the handbooks for the election agents have gone out. But its spokesman said that if the election date were announced at once, they would be ready. One thing is sure, that when the day comes that the word goes out giving the date of the election, Britain will be sub- jected to the greatest flooil " propaganda in the form printed material that the on try has ever known.

But one-third of those have since moved out of camp; and the remainder now are split irreparably over the same point which caused that unprecedented defection: The leadership of the party, The 2,501,614 continuing Con- servatives, who marked their ballots accordingly last year, can be er = = groups, ese are '"'the pessi- agg optimists," "the optimis- tic pessimists" and "the party- firsters." The pageant ey the group who parrot: " is our leader and we are happy about what he has done for us; oth- ers had better agree with us--or else." These nuinber probably less than 500,000, and are mostly in the Prairies. The optimistic pessimists say: "Mr, D. is the leader of our party, so we must stick with him openly for the good of the party--but we hope nature will take its inevitable course quickly." These constitute per- haps half of the balance of those continuing Conservatives, say 1,000,000.

A prominent Ontario organizer tells me that in his area, comprising about 20 constituencies, "about 95 per cent now oppose the present leader," Against the opinion of this election-swinging array of voters stand perhaps half a million 'pessimistic eer who threaten to bolt the leader is rejected.
