SGLUCF TITS ' $y WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 1964---PAGE 6 Political Idea Group Welcome Development One of the more interesting poli- tieal developments of the year is the formation of EPIC -- Exchange for Political Ideas in Canada. At its f@nnding convention in Toronto last weekend were politicians, teachers, writers, students, social workers, housewives and, in the words of one report, "assorted intellectuals ,most- ly: from the Liberal party and the New Democratic party." If there Were Conservatives there, they were highly anonymous. "The absence of Conservatives prompted David Orlikow, NDP mémber for Winnipeg North, to cOmment that Conservatives should be admitted -- "in Western Canada the real progressives outside the NDP are the Conservatives." Dr. Pauline Jewett, Liberal member for Northumberland, answered that Conservatives are not excluded from the new organization. They may not bé excluded; and certainly the fed- eral party could do with a freshen- ing of deas; but would they be out- siders at a wedding? For EPIC seems essentially an organization of the "democratic left", the spriri- tual home of the hurry-up reform- ers who vote Liberal or NDP but suspect that the party structure it- self could do with a little reforma- ion. The delegates voted against the descriptive phrase "left wing". They also turned down the "social democ- ratic" label. They approved a con- stitution which describes EPIC as a research, study, discussion and in- formation group dedicated to change and reform but independent of party affiliation. But it still appears to have its roots in the restlessness of Liberal and NDP adherents who wish to explore united action to ach- jeve common aims or who sense the beginning of a break-up of tradi- tional party forms in Canada. There is no doubt that party lines are now so blurred, the political situation so stagnant, that ideas forcefully presented might lead to a revolutionary realignment. And that might well be a good thing. In any case, a form such as those proposed by EPIC is needed, if only because it offers the prospect of something more than party-line rhetoric. Protecting The Source Douglas Fisher, the energetic and imaginative NDP member of Parliament for Port Arthur, wants legislation to protect newspaper- men from being required to reveal their sources of information. His experience as.a newspaper colum- nist has undoubtedly given Mr. Fisher a sharper realization of the value of: confidence -- and confi- dential information -- in the col- lecting and presenting of important information to the public, which is the job of the press. Newspaper- men 'will be grateful for his efforts on their behalf, but all of them will agree with him in this instance. We don't, and others have voiced similar opinions, "It would be dangerous indeed to give reporters and editors absolute privilege to refuse the reveal their sources of information. They can refuse to do so now, but must face the results -- jail or fine or both for contempt of court, The penalty for refusing to violate a confidence may seem harsh, particularly when the published information has been Lake Water The Ontario government has re-+ turned to the plan for a pipeline to carry water from Lake Huron to the London area, where ground sup- plies are proving inadequate and the water tables are constantly drop- ping. There isn't much doubt that the pipeline project, once underway, will be expanded into a system supplying a large part of South- western Ontario, It would not be surprising to see Lake Erie tapped, as well as Lake Huron. The water pipeline will be an- other. drain on Lake Huron -- and the water level there already at a disastrously low level. Only part of the water used by such heavily populated areas as London and Kit- chener will be returned to the water cOurses, and those water courses do not flow into Lake Huron, This is The Oshawa Times T.

'oe in the public interest. But legal pro- tection of the newspaperman could easily lead to abuse. A significant comment was made by Britain's great legal authority, Lord Shawcross, on the jailing of reporters for refusing to divulge their sources of information in con- nection with the notorious Vassall case. He said: "It is difficult to resist the conclusion that the tri- bunal and the court may have had regard to the possibility that in refusing to disclose sources some of the. journalists.concerned, with a natural loyalty to each other, realized that only by so doing could the fact be concealed that sometimes there were in fact no sources to. disclose . . . Where the press is accorded special rights, these do not cover treason . and once that qualification is accepted it must be a matter of degree to what extent journalists should enjoy privileges not extended to the or- dinary citizen." This is a case of the cure being more dangerous than the disease. Supplies another consideration for the inter- national conference on lake levels called by Premier Robarts. Once water is taken from a lake, particularly under provincial aus- pices, it becomes the duty of gov- ernments to ensure that the water can be. made fit for human con- sumption by a reasonable amount of purification, and that the supply be maintained. These requirements involve questions of pollution as well as continuous flow. ' If the present rate of pollution is unchecked, however, the lake-river system downstream from Sarnia will soon become the world's biggest open sewer. The Detroit River is badly polluted, and so is Lake Erie, The pollution' comes from many sources -- untreated or partially treated sewhge from towns, indus- trial wastes, and the agricultural chemicals leached from farmlands by rain, streams and melting snow. The ecology of Lake Erie has already been changed to such an extent that it is probably already too late to change it back to what it was even twenty years ago. These matters needed attention. years ago. Let us hope that the in- ternational conference will mark the beginning of a new era of care and concern, Bible Thought Tribulation worketh patience, -- Romans 5:3, Passing through the mill of trials is painful, but the grist of patience is precious, 3 REPORT FROM U.K. Title Disclaimer Loses All Rights By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The 1964 edition of "Debrett's Peerage', which has just been issued, pays spe- cial attention to the position of those individuals who 'have dis- claimed their right to peerages, such as Lord Hailsham, now Quinton Hogg; The Earl of Home, now Sir Alec Dougilas- Home; the Earl of Sandwich, now Anthony Wedgewood Benn, and others, One statement it makes is to the effect that a peer disclaim- ing his title is divested of 'all rights or interest to or in the peerage, and all titles, rights, offices, privileges and prece- dence attaching thereto, This is contrary to the general belief which has been held that a man who disclaimed a peerage could, if he wished, simply revert to the title of 'The Honorable". HITS SIR ALEC Another point cleared up is that no further hereditary peer- age can. be conferred at a later date on a disclaimed peer, As it YOUR HEALTH has been customary to confer an eaqridom on a Prime Minister when he retires from office, this would preclude that practice be- ing followed in the case of the present prime minister, Sir Alec Douglas-Home, unless special legislation were passed, It is al- ways, of course, the prerogative of retiring prime ministers to decline an earldom, as has been done by Harold Macmillan. The articles on disclaimed peers appear for the first time in "'Debrett's Peerage" as a re- sult of the Peerage Act which was passed last year, The ex- peer is still shown in the same place with the others of his fam- ily, but his coat of arms has been shorn of the peer's helm, coronet and supporters, An ex- ception to this is the prime min- ister, As a Knight of the Thistle, Sir Alec Dougias-Home is still entitled to supporters on his coat of arms . PRINCE OF WALES In another section of 'De- brett's" the question is asked: "Ig the Prince of Wales a minor?" There is a list of peers Gland Enlargement Reason For Goitre By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Do people still have goitres? I never hear about them, However, the doc- tor says I have one and that he can feel it when I swallow I have a nervous condition and am wondering if this could be the cause of it--MRS. SEB Certainly, people still have goitres, although not nearly as often as was the case 30 or 40 years ago, before the effects of iodized salt became apparent. In those days there were more goitres, and they were caused by lack of iodine in various localities, the Midwest and Great Lakes regions being especially deficient. The thyroid gland, starving for the trace of iodine it needed, would enlarge in nature's desperate effort to make up for the lack. « Goitres likewise grew to con- siderable size, and scars. were more apparent, too,, among peo- ple having operations for them. Iodine, earlier diagnosis and more effective treatment have changed all this, and that's why you don't hear so much about goitres. Goitre actually means en- largement of the thyroid, There are other causes of it beside TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 27, 1964... A British court refused 15 years ago today--in 1949-- to extradite Gerhart Eisler, a Communist fugitive from the U.S. taken from a Polish liner at Southampton, Eng- land. Sir Lawrence Dunne, chief metropolitan' magis- trate in London, ruled that. Eisler's false declaration in seeking an' exit visa was not an extraditable offence. 1679--The Habeas Corpus Act became law 1941--The German battle- ship Bismark was. sunk. 4 lack of iodine, some of them known, some unknown. Poisons, protracted use of some powerful drugs, and other less identifia- ble factors still cause enlarge- ment--or goitre. Although small goitres may not be easily noticed, they can be felt with the fingers because the thyroid gland moves when a person swallows. The swelling may also extend downard, be- hind the upper part of the breast bone, and hence not be easily seen, There are quite a few kinds of goitres. If yours is of the "toxic goitre" type, or ophthalmic," it can result in nervousness, rapid heart beat and other symptoms. Method of treatment, whether by medicine or surgery, depends on such furs ther facts as may be dtermined. If a malignancy is causing the enla t,-as sometimes oc- cyfs, prompt surgery is of course required. Many goitres, owever, are successfully treated without surgery. Dear Dr. Molner: My son was born with a hydrocele, He is now eight years old. One doctor says to don't do any- thing; another says to operate. I understand major surgery is involved and it is quite painful. Yes or no? I want to do the best 'thing for my boy.-- MRS, JIC Of course you do---and since hydrocele (a sac of fluid in the testis) will not "go away" by itself, the operation is eventu- ally necessary. It can, however, be done at some time conven- jent for all concerned, I disagree that such surgery is necessarily considered "'ma- jor." There-will be some tender- ness and soreness right after- wards, but that applies to a goodly number of operations, and I think you are, for what- ev-r reason, more disturbed about it than the true facts warrant, - OTTAWA REPORT "Mike" Pearson who are minors, giving the dates when they obtain their major- ities. Legally this is on the day before their 21st birthday. With reference to Prince Charles, however, there is a footnote which says: "The Duke of Cornwall does not appear on the Roll of the House of Lords as a minor since his creation as the Prince of Wates."' This has been the custom during several reigns. It poses the question of whether he has a theoretical right to a seat at the present time. An article on Royal surnames suggests that Prince Philip cou'd have adopted the name of "Oldcastle" instead of Mount- batten if he had followed one proposal, This would have been a translation of Oldenburg, the House from which Printe*Philip is descended, . READERS' VIEWS FLAG Dear Sir: In a garden of the unforgotten, Our fallen heroes lie, Men who fought for honor, Beneath a foreign sky, Waving bravely o'er them, The Canadian Ensign flew, Leading .on to victory, A victory some never knew, For in Flanders field, Where poppies grow, Their crosses stand, row on row. Are thesé fallen heroes, With the flag they loved so true, So soon to be forgotten Because of a chosen few? If we would pause, and listen, We can hear their voices say, "Twas our blood that stained The flag bright glorious red. Hold firm the torch, Keep faith with us, E'en tho' we lie here dead. AGNES WILSON Oshawa LEAN MEATY BE BLADE --- BONE BLADE Z - s Draws Praise By PATRICK NICHULSON OTTAWA---An illogical aspect of the pervasive dialogue about "culture" today is our massive ,mational preference for its less intellectual aspects, For exam- ple, we buy in unprecedented numbers the recorded vocaliz- ing of Paul McCartney and his three fellow Beatles; but the demand for the printed wit and wisdom of our national leaders is judged by the printed supply --infinitesimal, So it is with surprised pleas- 'ure that Canada's most adven- turous book publisher, Jack Mc- Clelland, of Toronto's McClel- land and Stewart, is to be con- gratulated for offering in book form The Four, Faces of Peace, a selection of speeches by Prime Minister Lester B. Pear- son, The 43 speeches, dated be- tween 1949 and 1963, represent Mike Pearson variously as The Man, The World Statesman, The Canadian Political Leader, and QUEEN'S PARK The Nobel Peace Prize Winner. An obvious question is "what does the title mean?", The se The Four Faces of eace, is taken from the lec- ture he delivered in Oslo when receiving the Nobel Prize in 1957, The strong foundation of peace and security, he argued, required four cornerstones or "faces"; these, in his words, are: "Peace and prosperity or trade, peace and power, peace and policy or diplomacy, peace and people," i WIT AND WISDOM Mike Pearson's best friend would not claim that he is a great declamatory or evangell- cal orator, But his worst enemy would have to admit that his speeches have that rare qual- ity of reading very much bet- fer than they sound, even after the lapse of time, In-fact, they stand up remarkably weill over the years, and vintage Pearson loses nothing of its bouquet and authority, nothing of its sincer- Lake Level Talks Start On Problem BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Hi . Neighbor! The governors of the eight bordering states and Premier Lesage of Quebec have been in- vited to meet in Toronto on June 2 and #0. Premier Robarts wants them to talk over the question of low lake levels, It's a good idea, There should be a couple of bang-up parties. The' province will get lots of goodwill, And there will be mofe than pass- ing mention in the press of the adjoining states and the sister province. What about the water levels? Well no conference, as such, is going to solve these. But the meeting will be a start, Lake levels have bothered us before. And we have taken a look at them, and then done nothing. Never before, however, have 10 different governments been around a table to discuss them. This, in itself, is an almost certain guarantee that this time there will be some fruitful ac- _ ton, NOT SOON It won't be overnight action, Between the scientific ques- tions involved and the tangled jurisdictions between govern- ments, control of lake levels is a most intricate problem, In fact its very intricacy is probably one of the great rea- sons so little has been done to meet it, It frightens our law makers, Remedial action is bound to be slow, First the causes, effects and possible cures must be sorted out, And then there must be agree- ment on how to take action. This will involve not only the federal governments but also probably the International Joint Commission. It's easy to see some years of meetings and hearings ahead, But at least there is promise. There could be one other EF REMOVED fruitful development out of this meeting. This could be a closer liaison In the future between the Great Lakes states and provinces, There have been some at- tempts in the past to get a con- tinuing liaison. These have not worked well, principally because there has not been sufficient important reason to maintain them. It's expected this initial meet- ing will set up a working com- mittee from all jurisdictions. This could grow into a per- manent body. , &t hand by himself, not ity and truth, by the parsage of time, / i Mike Pearson, it could be claimed, is an essay: fof a class far superior to torical achievements; his one speeches are essays, udiously composed r - fat, but garnished with occa- = sprigs of wit before serv: 4 With some 40 tellectual in the earthy ym Hag vi appropri- y his ve , an ately dry, brittle wit, often glit- tering to the surface, and neither corny nor mean nor per- sonal, : If an individual is the ta of a Pearson quip, that ual is never either bitter foe or -- but Mike Pearson him self.

That perspicacious comment, now four years old, today goes directly to the heart of the mat- ter, with a very barbed. spear. This rare volume of Canadian speeches will deservedly win praise and bring' pleasure among its many readers; among the denizens of the in- tellectual desert which is our 26th Parliament, it would serve as a yardstick by which to measure the pathetic immatur- ity of their usually superficial orations, _ BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO May 27, 1939 Albert Street School marked Empire Day by holding a spe- cial program under the chair- manship of W, Wendt, principal of the school, Some 450 Girl Guides and Brownies attended the 'Sunday morning service at King Street United .Church when King George VI's it was heard.
