She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1964---PAGE 6 Flag Issue Cannot Be Divorced From Feeling Prime Minister Pearson is being accused of bad timing in forcing the flag issue, but most of the criticism comes from those who do not want anything done about a distinctive Canadian flag. It is apparent, therefore, that the timing would have been just as "bad" ten years ago or would get exactly the same criticism ten years or twenty years from now. Now is as good a time as any to settle the long, tiresome and gen- erally pitiful controversy over a flag for Canada. The lack of a flag has been the subject of tired jokes for years; it has amused foreigners and embarrassed Canadians abroad. Politician after politician has pro- mised action on a flag, but has back- ed away from doing anything when given the authority. John Diefen- baker is only the most recent to promise and then do nothing. Mr. Pearson promised and has done something; at least let us give him credit for that. Some of Mr. Pearson's critics are saying that there should be delay until "calm judgment" can prevail and there is less emotionalism in the issue. There will never be less emotionalism, as far as the flag issue is concerned, and that being the case, there is no likelihood of it ever being settled in an atmosphere of calm judgment -- at least as far as the people who become emotional about flags are concerned, and they are the people who are now raising a ruckus, for or against. We suspect that a large number of Canadians do not really care greatly what kind of flag is chosen as the official-Canadian symbol, as long as it is a flag which will prove acceptable to most Canadians, And these Canadians may be the most loyal of all, because they realize that a flag of itself is only a bit of bunting, a colored rag; what makes it important is what it represents -- the people, their values, their standards, their way of life. People do not live or die for flags, as such, but for the things that make up the fabric of a nation. If that fabric is worthy, the fiag will be worthy, whatever its design. Have A Good: Holiday! By REY. ARTHUR W. MAGEE Minister, Centre St. United Church Oshawa. "Have a Good Holiday!" This is the wish of Good friends when the opportunity for relaxation presents itself, It is the wish of your Church! So many people in Oshawa own or rent Cottages and tents and trail- ers, and have cars to travel, that it would be strange if there were not an exodus each summer weekend and during vacation time, to the lovely lakes and wooded lands of rural Ontario, but it would be stranger still if there were no Churches to come back to in the City. During the winter months, we have been looking foreward to holi- day time; we have thought about some quiet spot dear to us; we have been saving money for a holiday and some of you have been repairing cottages. When the breezes become less balmy and the leaves turn color, you will close up your cottages and you will come back to the city -- and the Church will be here. A Minister will have conducted Services on each of the Sundays that you've been away! An Organist will have led the service of Praise. Fewer people than usual will have worshipped in the Sanctuary Fewer gifts will be placed on the offering plate. There will be fewer people in the Choir -- and you will be missed but there ought not to be resent- ment. The Church and Christian people know, that a good holiday can give n lift to us all, and bring us closer to God. Jesus sent his disciples out to witness, and after their first expedi- tion, they came back weary and tired, and he said "Come ye apart and rest awhile". he said too "Come to me all whose work is hard, whose load is heavy; and I will give you relief. Bend your necks to my yoke, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble-hearted; and your souls will find relief. For my yoke is good to bear, my load is light." Take time to read your Bible using one of the translations in modern English, and as you watch the clouds drift by, say your prayers to God. Have a good holiday, and let there be time "To let the empty reservoirs fill up." Seal Question Dodged Woolly, patronizing replies to his questions were offered to Mr. Latu- lippe, the Creditiste MP, who wanted to be assured that baby seals will not again be skinned alive in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Ottawa Journal remarks. In the name of Fisheries Minister Robichaud, Mr. Latulippe was. told that yes, indeed, there had been hundreds of letters of protest but the department could not say how many had been caused by people seeing films of the seal hunt. Yes, the hunt was supervised by Fish- eries officers and reports containing information "'on all aspects of seal- ing operation" had been received by the Minister.

Earlier Mr. Robichaud was asked by Ontario riding's Michael Starr whether he had taken any imme- diate action to stop the inhumane slaughter of baby seals. The minis- ter replied sharply that this ques- tion had been brought before the House on many occasions and he hoped to present legislation which would be satisfactory. We agree with the Journal that these replies sound evasive to people who expect the Government to give a flat assurance that hunters will never again skin live seals with im- punity. Great offence has been done the public conscience by the revela- tion that such cruelty was possible and the Fisheries Minister and his officials are mistaken if they think their statements. satisfy anyone but themselves. : Bible Thought "The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin." 1 John 1:7.

Sherbrooke La Tribune -- According to Premier Small- wood (of Newfoundland), it would be possible to transmit Hamilton Falls electricity to New York without having to cross Quebec territory, In his mind, one could bypass Que- bec and use submarine cables between Labrador and the is- land of Newfoundland, and be- tween the latter and Nova Sco- tia. Have 'the experts consulted by Mr. Smallwood really made a report favorable to this alternative or does the Newfoundland premier wish to indulge in some kind of blackmail to make Quebec ac- cept his conditions? It may be doubted that the transmission of electricity by submarine cables over a long distance is possible at the present stage of technology. Even if it is technically possible, it remains to be seen whether it would be eco- nomically feasible. On this point also, there is room. for Serious doubts. It seems, therefore, that Mr. Smallwood has once again brought his talent as a crafty negotiator into play, who does not hesitate to bluff his adversaries in order to bring them around to his point of view. Quebec should not let itself be influenced by this tactic. (May 13) Montreal La Presse -- The legislature's committee on the constitution has just taken the wise decision to have experts study the possible impact of independence on Quebec's po- litical, economic, social and cultural realities. Certain persons have ex- pressed interesting opinions on these various points, nota- bly on the economic effects that could result from separa- tion. But it can be said that no really serious study of the problem has been made, Cer- tainly nobody has yet dealt with all aspects of the prob- lem. This want study is vital if we Quebec to decide its GALLUP POLL course, as is its right, with full knowledge of the situa- tion. For, whether it pleases us or perplexes us, the sepa- ratist hypothesis cannot be brushed aside with a sweep of the hand. It is one.of the paths Quebec could choose to follow.. Everybody has the right to know exactly where such a pursuit would jead us. The majority who are op- posed to independence could be tempted to say to the min- ority: 'Prove to us that your pretensions are well founded;"" but the minority would nevertheless have a right to answer: "Prove to us categorically that are wrong." In the two case', at any rate, it is a matter of estab- lishing proof. . .. The studies that this proof presupposes are too vast and necessarily too costly to be left to the in- itiative of séme militant zea- lots. That is why we approve when the legislature's com- mittee on the constitution has the burden carried by the gov- ernment itself, in other words, by the taxpayers as a whole, --Vincent Prince. (May 13) Montreal Le Devroir -- The legislature's committee on the constitution has- decided to make a big detour. It will entrust to a group of experts the study of 'the impact of independence on Quebec's po- litical, economic, social and cultural realities." The committee mistakes the role experts can play at this stage in the study of this question. ... To introduce a working hy- othesis based on the idea of ndependence is to put the cart before the horse. It means that the politicians sitting in Quebec City are trying to turn over to technical experts a problem that is mainly po- litical. For several months we have been hearing some experts de- clare that the separation of Quebec would be an economic disaster, others that it could be accomplished without too much disruption. They don't really knew. They are just re- phrasing their political opin- ions in economic terms, In the we Canadians Optimistic On Jobless Picture By THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINIONS (World Copyright Reserved) Canada's current prosperity is Significantly revealed by hewv people think about the prospects of unemployment in the next six months.

Experts can tell us what our status will be at the United Nations, and what the cost of a diplomatic service will be, in case of independ- ence. They cannot tell us what our standard of living will be, what our relations with our neighbors will be, or what de- gree of internal liberty we shall have. Those are matters that depend essentially on the politica! choices made. And these are the matters that really count, not matters such as knowing whether we shall have a few parvenus riding around in Cadillacs in the world's capitals. -- Claude Ryan. (May 14) PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "Hi..er education is at the crossroads,"' says a prominent educator. The crossroads has become by far the most congest- ed intersection in the world. "U.S. Predicts More Trouble in Asia" -- Headline, That isn't a prediction -- it's a foregone conclusion. The theory that mind has con- trol over matter is highly un- flattering to golfers and crap shooters. The kind of life lived by a person who says life isn't worth living invariably isn't worth living. Some one advises, "Put your bi-focals on upside down when plucking your eyebrows," but doesn't say whether or not you should stand on your head while doing so. YOUR HEALTH Ask Questions speaking Quebeckers to that province's separatist movement But unlike separatism, this new group is not limited to French- Canadians in Quebec; as its motto says, it offers a new na- . tional appeal for all Canadians "from cost to coast." LITTLE MAN'S WISH C.M.U.: had its origin in a Montreal plant about four weeks ago, when a French-Ca- madian worker grew worried by the breakdown in the longstand- ing friendliness and goodwill between French and English workers, and saw his job men- aced by the possibility that the company would move to a more tranquil province. He shared his anxieties with his friends and fellow-workers, and the suggestion for a coun- ter-appeal to 'separatism was born. About 100 of them, who de- serve to be honored as the founding fathers, called a meet. ing; the distinguished politician Pierre Sevigny, was invited to attend. Hearing their welcome roposals, he said he would ac- cept their offer of the presi- dency of their planned associ- ation. Now, about one month after its birth, this lusty young move- ment had more than~ 16,000 signed up supporters, men and women of the people--not politi- cal hacks and organizers. To finance its promotion, membership cards are being sold, badges are worn, and the simple 10-point appeal of the movement is winning friends everywhere, An initial public meeting was planned for this week in Mont- real; the demand for tickets far exceeded the capacity of the hall calculated to accommodate the expected audience. As the 10 objectives of C.M.U. show, this is not a_ political movement; it is a patriotic ex- pression. Its object is to strengthen Canada against the disruptive elements which might cleave the country, to of- fer a more attractive goal than separatism. These aims are: On Tuberculosis By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What is a laminectomy? I was told I had a "ruptured disc' and was operated on by a neurosurgeon. I had been troubled with a back condition for more than a year, Now the severe back pains, and the pains in my legs have disappeared although my back gets achey. Will this con- dition continue or will it even- tually disappear? I no longer have the mild case of asthma I had prior to the surgery. Do you feel that the operation cured it? -- Mrs. BAS. Separating each vertebra, or bone in the spine, is a padding of fibrous tissue called an "in- tervertebral disc." When one of these discs becomes distorted or thinner (a "ruptured" or "herniated" disc) the nerve roots can be pinched at the point at. which they emerge from the spine. ° Laminectomy is the removal of a portion of the back of the vertebra to relieve this. pres- sure on the nerve. And there went your pains! Some milder discomfort (as in your case) is not unusual after the operation but you should have less trouble as time goes on, ' I am sure the surgery ha no direct effect on your asthma. However, the operation has given you relief from both physica] and emotional tensions and it is well established that the latter have a great deal to do with asthma. .Anxiety, smol- dering anver, strong feelings of resentment, and various emo- tions can trigger asthma at- tacks.: Thus while your opera- tion may not have "cured" such tendency as you may have toward asthma, it appears that relief from the persistent pain could have removed the "trigger" which touched off your attacks. Dear Dr. Molner: Does every- body have the tuberculosis germ? Why is the skin test given? When it is positive, why do they need an X-ray and what does that prove? -- E.E. No, everybody does not have the germ. It is, however, very Hap eevee A skin test is given to determine whether you have come in contact with the germ physiologically. That is, ¥ your body has come in contact to the extend that it had to set up its defences against the germ. If no (the test is negative) we don't worry about TB in your case. If it is positive (you have come in contact with the germ to that extent), we foe chest X-rays to look for spots on the lung indicating that the germ is acive there--that, in short, you have TB. 1. A Canada which finds its strength in the spirit of solidar- ' ity of all its citizens; 2. The respect of the rights, privileges and freedonis of all Canadian citizens, without re- gard to origin or race; 3. A drive towards unity and respect, and against hate and division; 4. An immediate study of all economic measures conducive ¥ the welfare of the commun- ty; + : 5. The promotion of unity by the attainment of the symbols of sovereignty, including: A. A distinctive national flag. B. Recognition of O Canada as our national anthem. C. The creation of 'The Cross of Canada" as a distinctive Ca- nadian decoration to recognize acts of gallantry. | D. The creation of a national order, "The Order of Canada" to honor outstanding service to Canada. E. The repatriation of our Canadian constitution to our na- tional capital. ALL PARTY SUPPORT Mr. Sevigny was himself a minister in the recent Conser- vative government; he tells me that the supporters of this Ca- nadian Unity Movement include Liberals, Conservatives, Social Crediters and others. The desire to preserve Confederation thus ad right across political party nes. an educational grant of $10.00 a month for 10 months (the school term) in respect 'of a 16 and 17 year old child attending school or university, This pay- ment is made to the child or in right of the child rather than to a parent. This is not a family allowance payment; consequent- ly an exemption of $550.00 is available to parents. A question of equity as be- tween Quebec and the other provinces arises as a result of this amendment -- children in Quebec would receive a "double" amount, $10.00 a month for 10 months from a pro- vincial government and $10.00 a month for 12 months from the federal government. It is understood that the pro- cedure presently being consider- ed is to pay a "financial equiv- alent" to the province of Que- bec. This is to be calculated as $120.00 per child less the dif- ference between the allowances of $550.00 and $300.00. That is, a child in Quebec will get $100.00 as before, the province will col- lect on the basis of $120.00 even though it is only paying $100.00, but there will be deducted from the amount paid to them the amount of income tax which the federal government would have collected if the exemption had been only $300.00 in Quebec in- stead of $550.00. The proposal however, (which does not entire ly eliminate inequities) has not been resolved, hence final ob- srvations are deferred to @ later date. BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO May 23, 1924 Mayor W.
