Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Leadership Candidates Fail To Excite Public -- The announcement by J. . Greene, MP for Renfrew South, that he would join the contest fer the On- tario Liberal leadership had all the exciting quality of a dropped stitch at a quilting bee. In an obvious bid te generate interest and gain at- tention, he challenged another can- didate, Charles Templeton to a "television debate. The general reac- tion was, so what? Mr. Greene apparently. has some admirers in Eastern Ontario, but elsewhere he is just another guy named Joe. He has done little to distinguish himself during his brief eareer in the Commons -- he was elected in 1968. Indeed, as far as we can find out, he has done little te distinguish himself. And that seems to be the story of the contest for the Liberal leader- ship, Mr. Templeon has gained some measure of fame in his flitting from career to career, but he has still te prove himself in the field of polities, and his pronouncements te date, as he hops about in search of delegate support, indi- cate a shallowness of thinking about Ontario's problems. Andrew Thompson -has modest experience in the Legislature, byt shows a better grasp of provincial affairs than his oponents. Robert Nixon has not displayed much except a famous family name. Joseph Gould seems to be running for the fun of it. Edward Sargent is something of a showman, but he needs some- thing better than a tent show for the provincial audience. Victor Copps, the mayor ef Hamilton, might inject some excitement into the con- test if he decided. to run. It may be that summer lassi- tude afflicts both contestants and supporters, and the approach of autumn will dispel the drabness of the Liberal contest. Or it may be that the current contenders do not have it in them to generate any great surge of popular support. We hope it's nothing more than the season. Dubious Immigrants Canadian immigration authori- ties are dealing with the French government in a scheme to settle on Canadian farms -- principally in Quebec -- a thousand families of French-Algerian farmers who mo- ved to France from Algeria when the North African country gained a= & F independence. The first of the _ families are expected to settle in Quebec this year, with the balance to follow shortly. The project alarms the Orillia Packet and Times. The Orillia paper. links the immigration with the in- famous French- Algerian "black- feet" who had a sorry record in the unstable period prior to the grant- ing of independence to Algeria. It argues: "It is surely not without signifi- cance that the French government is so anxious to divest itself of these embarrassing repatriates from Al- geria that it is offering as much as $6,000 per family to get them safely out of the country and into Canada. For France has already had a bellyful of the terrorism and bloodshed, the rioting and the ven- dettas which are the response of these French Algerians to the changing world about them... "Anything better calculated. to disrupt the relationship between French and English-speaking people in Quebec than the arrival of these militant French nationalists, with a background of terrorism and an experience of anarchy, it would be impossible to imagine. These men pose a very real threat not only to the survival of Canada as a union of two cultures, but to the lives and property of Canadians of every ethnic background. Indeed the ter- rorism and agitation recently exper- ienced from extremists in Quebec's current demonstrations in favor of secession from Canada, have been associated with former OAS terror- ists already settled in French Canada." These are very serious charges, and with enough background in fact to warrant a reply by immigra- tion Minister Rene Tremblay. Great Lakes Controls Just 18 years after a conference of international experts was con- vened to study the problem of high water in some of the Great Lakes, scientists and engineers from Can- ada and the United States met in Michigan the other day to discuss the problem of low water in the great inland system. The concensus was. that the solution to the low water problem lay in more effective regulation of lake levels rather than massive diversions of new water to the lakes. This confirms an opinion expressed many times in these columns. Lake Ontario and Superior have locks and dams which serve to lessen the fluctuation of their water levels. The other lakes do not have such controls, effectively placed. G. B. Langford. director' of -the University of Toronto's Great Lakes She Oshawa Sines T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

Lake Erie is more of a problem; a United States army engineer who had done a prelimin- ary study of water control in Lake Erie doubted if such a project was economically feasible. But with the other lakes being "managed", Erie would undoubtedly become less of a problem. Rainfall, of course, is the natural cause of the fluctuation. Precipita- tion, in summer and winter, has been below normal in much of the Great Lakes basin for several years. In the early 50s, it was above nor- - mal, There is more to the problem, then, than the building of dams and locks on the lakes themselves. Watershed storages are also re- quired, tied to better conservation methods, And there is no point in conserving and controlling water if its quality is to be destroyed by other forms of mismanagement, The water in the Great Lakes is much more valuable than simply to serve as a liquid in which ships can float and move.

McINTYRE HOOD, Speeia] London (Eng,) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times EDINBURGH, Scotland Scotland uses proportionaiely more electricity from nuclear sources per head of population than any other country in the world. With a population of a little over five million, if has three nuclear electricity plants and they are capable of meet- ing 15 per cent of the country's demands for power. This bold challenge YOUR HEALTH to the future is being reflected in \an outstanding display which is be- ing assembled for the.

Two of Scotland's nuelear plants Chapelcross in the southeast near Dumfries, and Dunreay in the far north near Thurso, are operated by the United Kingdom Atomic Ener- gy Authority.

MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: | have the problem of facial hair I have heard that a mixture of half peroxide and half house- hold ammonia, adding soap flakes to form a paste, and applying to the face for 30 min- utes, will bleach the hairs Would this be safe to try?-- R.M.B, I'm against it on the grounds that there is too much chance of irritating the skin, not to mention having to.smell that ammonia at such short range. I think you will get just as good a bleaching effect by using '20 volume' peroxide, which you can get at the drug store, without the fuss and fumes, of the other mixture. Try it and see, Bleaching, in my observation, is a very successful answer to facial hair An alternative is to use a de- pilatory, which dissolves the hair at the skin line. This pro- cess has to be repeated when the hair grows out again, For some, this is a_ satisfactory method. Others, however, find that depilatories irritate the skin Finally, permanent removal of the hair by electrolysis. is possible, bul since each hair root has to be destroyed in- dividually, it is a time-consum- ing process Dear Dr. Molner: What is St Vitus Dance?

On the other hand, it is possible for some bacterial infection to be Present in the bladder, yet not work its way upward to the kidneys. As you might expect, one the doctor's goals, if bladder infection is present, is to prevent it from moving back- ward and upward to the kid- neys of So a kidney infection, gener- ally speaking, must be re- garded as more serious than a bladder infection, but both may be present at the same time, and both or either would be a "urinary infection," Dear Dr. Molner: Is white gasoline, which has no lead in it, good for cleaning sores around the ankles to destroy germs and bacteria:~CP. No. Gasoline is not an anti- Septic. (Gasoline with lead in it is even worse, because the lead is poisonous.)

It will produce more than 20,000 kilowatts of elec- tricity at full power. Chapelcross, the country's first nuclear power station, was built primarily for the produc- tion of plutonium. But it has been generating electricity for more than five years, and plans are ready to increase its out- put of power. The heat output of. its reactors is more than 30 per cent higher than the origi- nal design figure. Scotiand's hopes, however, are turning increasingly to the pros- pect that a prototype fast reactor is to be built by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority. It is believed that the Chapelcross site is being considered for this project DOUNREAY LEADS Another potential site is at Dounreay, which is the world's leading centre for fast-reactor research. The demand of the nuclear age is for fast breeder reactors which will at some future stage make their own fue]. It is on Dounreay that attention is focussed at the moment. The Dounreay fast- reactor has been operating at full power since July, 1963. This reactor generates 60 megawatis of heat, is many times more powerful than any other fast-reactor operating any- here in the world, and is the first such reactor to supply electricity to a national supply system. Although it is as yet only experimental, by the end of May of this year it has sup- plied more than 25 million kilo- watts of electricity to the North of Scotiand Electricity Board At present. it is being used to test types of fuel for a possible prototype. The objective of the Dounreay program is to establish com- mercially a new type of reactor which both breeds fissile mate- rial in the process of generat- ing heat, and also, in the first instance, burns plutonium which is a by-product of the thermal reactor systems now being in- stalled: by the General Electri- city Generating Board in Brit- ain. The successful develop- ment' of this system would therefore improve the econom- ics of nuclear power. These exciting possibilities are being watched with great inter- est in Scotland, which stands to benefit greatly from these new developments in nuclear policy, BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO August 13, 1934 Oshawa Great War veterans, 300 strong, attended the largest reunion ever held in the British Empire when 75,000 veterans of the Canadian Corps met for a weekend in Toronto, Work was begun at building the Oshawa harbor seawall.

Gambling is forbidden accommodation and food supplied Mr. Wheeler; a native of Weyburn, Sask., says the isola- tion makes working here a lu- erative proposition, and many return after their initial 12- month posting. The average Wage, with overtime and isola- tion pay, is about $8,000 a year and "there's something wrong if a man can't save $5,000 a year." Aside from the money, Mi Wheeler has a good reason for staying in the Aretic. He suf- fers from asthma when he goes as far south as Edmonton, 1,800 miles away. He has spent seven years. in the north.

As the majority, but by noe mean all, of Canadians are uneasily conscious, this is dividing the country eyen more disastrously than the stormiest issue re- corded in our histony books -- the execution: of the leader of the Metis revolt, Louis Riel, in 1885 There is. a parallel between Rie! and the flag.

CLOSE CONTEST Each of these men matically a front-runner, their. presence, or, even the presence of Mr. Greene alone means much interest is added to the race, They mean that there will probably be five, and at least four, candidates who must be taken seriously, and whom, it would seem, will all chalk up a good vote on the first ballot.

It quickly became obvious that "Mike's Maple" had at- tracted overwhelming suppert among French-Canadians, while the lukewarm enthusiasm for it elsewhere was gravely temp- ered by the resentment, as some MPs have expressed it, that this was "yet another con- cession to French-Canada." The lopsidedness of cross-Can- ada senitment on the flag issue has just been revealed by a nationwide poll, whose sensa- tional results were given front page prominence in Ottawa's thoughtful French language newspaper, Le Droit, This poll discovered that a majority of Canadians, in every province except Quebec, prefer the Canadian Ensign to the maple leaf design. It also as- certained that about one-third of all. Canadians would prefer some other flag, such as the Union Jack or another design, or were ignorant or indifferent about the whole issue. Translating the poll's findings approximately into numbers, [ calculate that in the Maritimes there are 820,000 Ensign supe porters to 580,000 Maple-lleave ers; in Ontario the Ensign wins 2,350,000 to 1,895,000; on the Prairies the Ensign leads most emphatically in al] Canada, by 1,350,000 to 705,000; and in B.C. again the Ensign leads by 520, 000 to 460,000. Thus, totalling nine English- speaking provinces, the Ensign is preferred by 5,040,000 Cana- dians, while the tri-leaf design wins the support of only 3,640,- 000 Canadians. QUEBEC TILTS BALANCE But in the 10th province, Que- bec, the margin is an over- whelming 3,650,000 for the maple leaf; against only 160,000 for the Ensign. Thus, Quebee tilts the national balance into an overall majority for the maple leaf of 7,290,000--of whom more than half are in Quebec--against 5,200,000 for the Ensign. The percentages of this poll are 'being discussed in offices and corridors all over the Par- liament Buildings; they have been torn out of the paper, photo-copied,- jotted onte enveél- opes. and elaborately typewrit- ten. The figures abave are my own interpretation of the per- centages announced by the very experienced and widely re- spected Gruneau Research Ltd. The significance of these fig- ures, in the eyes of all Liberal strategists thinking in terms of an election, is that they clearly show that the flag issue would bring disastrous Liberal losses in nine provinces, and leave the party largely as the political arm of French-Canada. i RMR.
