But Conser- vative leader John Diefenbaker thought so little of the theme that he listened for only a few minutes and then left the House in a typical gesture. The future of the Conser- vative party could slip away in similar fashion if the leader refuses to listen to the voices of reason and moderation. Earlier Mr. Fisher and Mr. Knowles had repeatedly urged the House to give thought to the da- mage being done to its public repu- tation by the prolonging of the senseless flag debate. Mr. Knowles had said: "I dearly wish it were possible for some kind of mirror to be in- stalled so that all of us in this Par- liament could see what it looks like during the course of this debate... I plead with all my friends in the House in all parties, whatever may be their views on the flag, to realize that there is something more im- portant than winning this debate, winning an issue, or seeing that one leader triumphs over the other, That more important goal is to maintain the dignity and integrity and the importance of Parliament -itself." But the-members went on with their stupid wrangling. Royal Visit Decision = Michael Wardell, a former Eng- sh newspaper executive and now ublisher of the Fredericton Glean- r, has been urging Prime Minister earson in dramatic fashion to Sancel next month's visit to Can- Tada by the Queen. The cry has mn taken up in England, with one Snaas circulation newspaper report- g that the Queen's life has been hreatend -- and as a result many Englishmen now apparently fear Phat terrorists in Quebec are plan- ning an all-out attempt at assas- sination. Mr. Pearson is rejecting the hys- terical demands for cancellation of the visit. He is quite right. If Canada cannot protect the Queen against the actions of ex- tremists, then Canada has no right to be called a nation. If the Queen's visit were cancelled, the country would be saying, in effect: "Quebec is so thoroughly disloyal, so full of hoodlums and terrorists, that the government of Canada cannot pro- tect the life or even the dignity of Her Majesty." And that is simply not so. A cancellation would be a back- down to the separatists, an admis- Teachers In The department of says that while there is no longer a shortage of public school teachers, remote rural school boards are still faced with a problem of obtaining teachers. All that this means is that there may be enough bodies to fill the classrom posts.

A cancellation would isolate Que- bec from the rest of the country, widening beyond hope of bridging the racial split which has already been opened by such stupidities as the flag debate and the hysterical mouthings of extremists on both sides of the racial barrier. Mr. Wardell thinks that Mr. Pearson "would not be surrender- ing to violence or a vicious minor- ity. Rather, he would be showing himself strong enough to make a wise decision in the face of dangers over which he can have no control." If the 'prime minister has no con- trol, the nation has no control, the Quebec authorities have no con- trol. If that's the case, let's split the nation permanently 'right now. But it is not the case. Mr. Wardell is being manifestly unfair to the millions of Quebec citizens who despise the terrorists and respect the Queen, and he is helping to do great damage to Canada's reputa- tion abroad. Ontario public and separate schools will be improved enough to allow the de- partment to drop; the two-year course from. teachers' colleges, perhaps ase early as next year. This is encouraging, but not good enough. Ontario cannot say it has a sound elementary school system as long it has pupils being taught by young men and women with no better qua- lifications than Grade 12 or 13 plus a year or two at teachers' colleges, Some of these young teachers do a superb job, but when they do, it is because of. their own aptitude -rather than their training. With more demanding training, they would be still better prepared. And the demands of elementary educa- tion are, or should be, as high as secondary education. _ Other Editors' Views ALWAYS IN. DEMAND Saskatoon Star-Phoenix The fact that Ontario industry is going far afield to get needed skilled workmen also suggests that suplementary to our educational system there should be an increas- ing endeavour to persuade young Canadians that skilled craftsmen are always in demand. Technical training takes of an even greater importance in plans for the future Canada, , THE LATIN AMERICAN DANCERS OTTAWA REPORT Artists Add Color To Quebec Capital By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- In 1963, for the first time in many years, Cana- dian tourists spent more dollars abroad than foreigners spent during visits to Canada. In view of our serious overall deficit on international payments, this ad- verse balance in tourism is something which we should and could correct, Against this background, I applauded a charming venture which was started in Quebec City for Quebéckers, but which benefits other Canadians and our tourist trade The bustling heart of tourism in the oldest capital city. north of the Mexican border is of course Quebec City's magnifi- cent Chateau Frontenac Hotel, gay with its three dance floors, hospitable with its gourmet res- YOUR HEALTH taurants, and jammed with its pleased camera-toting tourists. RUE DU TRESOR Outside the gated entry to the hotel stretches the Place d'Armes, with water splashing from its flower-bordered foun- tain and horse-drawn caleches for hire on its cobbled road- way. Right across this_pictur- esque old square is a_ real "Street of Treasures," the tiny rue du Tresor. Here the pleas- antly - surprised tourist is de- lighted to open his camera and his purse. For against the back- ground of ancient stone walls and a pretty open-air restaur- ant in an old courtyard, there are some 50 young artists, busy at the easels and with their works: exhibited for sale. A 22-year-young artist from the Gaspe, who calls himself Birth Distortion Cystitis Factor By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner; Please dis- cuss cystitis, which I understand is a urinary tract infection. Do only women suffer from this? Does it often occur during preg-- nancy. When it occurs in women who are not pregnant, what is generally the cause? Does it lie dormant in men, and they act as hosts? Does frequency of, sex- ual intercourse affect the inci- dence in certain individuals?-- CWM More exactly, cystitis is in- flammaton of one particular part of the urinary tract, the bladder, It js more common in women, but men can have bladder in- fections, too. A contributing fac- tor in men is enlarged prostate, since this interferes with empty- ng of the bladder, ther*by help. ing infections to start. Anatomical structure seem to be important in making cys- titis more common in women, The distortion and pressures of pregnancy can interfere with proper emptying of the bladder; hence more risk of infection, Sagging of the bladder, as an af termath of childbirth, can be a factor. Or there may be ascend. ing infections from _ outside sources, The infection works its way upward to.the bladder. In this as well as with infections from interior sources, stricuture (a. narrowing) of the urethra, or outlet from the bladder, can be responsible. And these stric- tures are not uncommon in wo- men, Frequency of sexual inter- course is part of the-cause in some cases--often in brides. Is it because they are coming into intimate contact with a strain of some ordinary germ to which they have_not developed an im- munity or resistance? Maybe. But the ways of germs are still too complex to let us say posi- tively that this or that is '"'the reason," I'm devoted to trying to simplify matters of health, but I think we are best off if we admit' that there are «some things which don't permit over- simplification And that leads me to the question of whether men are "hosts" to the infection--or in- fections, since the inflammation, or cystits, need not always be from the same type. It s obvious, from the fore- going that men as well as woman may harbor such infec- tions. They may pass the germs on to someone else, All the same, I think there is sufficient evidence that as a rule men are NOT the hosts or "'carriers"' of these infections, How many strains of germs may be involved is hard to say: maybe several, maybe more. But we do know this. In the nor- mal: course of human life, we all are constantly encountering, and usually defeating, attacks by germs, Men may, for a time, harbor a germ and, until their bodies have subjugated it, be "carriers," But so can women, Or the germs may come from some such thing as extraction of an abcessed tooth, or other focal infection, Tracing the exact source may at times be impossible, but after seeing a good many cases, as most doctors have, we can ar- rive at the sort of generaliza- tions that I've offered, simply Jacques-Albert, started ; this venture. He set out "to as- ' gociate. together all people inter- * ested in painting and similar arts." Thus about 15 English-speak- : ing Canadians, a couple from New York, one from Pennsyl- vania, along with their 30 | French - Canadian colleagues, join their bearded young leader in setting up easel and shop every day in this narrow old- world street, And among the easels the tourists bustle, snapping, buy- ing and posing. Oil paintings of typical Quebec scenes sell for $15 to $125, water-colors from $3 to $30. Tourists can have their head - and - shoulders sketched in this open-air studio for $3, or they can be painted in oils for a larger sum in two or three days. Most of these young artists are students, By working from 10:30' in the morning until near midnight, they earn $40 or more each week in, the summer sea- son, and this helps to pay for their art classes through the winter. TOURISTS PRAISE "I raise my flower-covered chapeau to you; as an artist I recognize that water-color is the most difficult of mediums," said one visitor from the United States. "La vostra pittura e bella, buona fortuna," com- mented an Italian. But of course "This reminds me of Paris" is the most frequently: - heard phrase, and this is true. For la rue du Tresor, in Quebec's Quartier Latin emits an air of Montmarte. But alas, Jacques-Albert and his tourist attraction have run foul of the Quebec City fathers, They infringe a bylaw that 'it is strictly forbidden to do any trade in the streets of the city, or to practice there any art or calling." This ancient reglement sounds as if it was. aimed against barrow-boys and street- walkers, not against this artis- tic attraction in a little street which anyhow is too narrow to permit two caleches to pass. The final dispostion of the case is yet to come. And the cause of the artists has been espoused by Quebec's most dis- tinguished courtroom lawyer, the former cabinet minister, Noel Dorion, The neighboring shopkeepers and restaurant - keepers have petitioned the city -to permit them to remain, Rue du Tresor gives Quebec City a _ cachet which pleases tourists and makes them remember the city, as well as encouraging art. ~ Long may they remain and prosper, BY-CONE DAYS -- 35 YEARS AGO Sept. 11, 1929 Oshawa citizens gave a tre- mendous welcome to General Motors lacrosse team, Dominion champions, on arrival home from New Westminster, B.C., with the Mann Cup. GMC recep- tion committee consisted of Col. R, S. McLaughlin, George Hez- ziewood, Col. Frank Chappell, W. FE. Davis and W. A. Coad, Announcement was made that a new artificial ice arena, spon- sored by Col. R. S. McLaughlin, would be built in Oshawa imme- diately, A bicycle carnival was held in Alexandra Park to promote safety in bicycle riding in the city, The employment situation in Oshawa continued. with little change.There were still many men without work including laborers, factory hands and a few in the skilled building trades. The 1929 Oshawa Fair opened with a splendid. exhibition of livestock and farm. products, The officials were Hon, Presi. dents, Robert Grierson, G.' B. Motherwell, Dr. T. E. Kaiser, D. M. Tod, W. E. N. Sinclair and Major R. B. Smith; Presi- dent J. S. Kyle; Vice-presidents, Oscar Downey and F. T. Rowe; Secretary, Charles P. Davis, Announcement was made that an addition to GM Parts and Service would be erected on northeast corner of Bond and Mary Streets, The contract for wrecking three houses on the site was awarded to A. H. Robinson of Oshawa. Flower Sunday was observed at Albert Street Church. The pastor, Rev. R. A Whatiam, preached at both services. A new company was formed from. the W. E. Phillips Co. to be known as the Duplate Safety Glass Company of Canada, which would manufacture shat- terproof glass. Whitby council considered the installation of an automatic traf- fic light at the main intersection to eliminate the danger there. 'How Parliament Moved To Declare War In '39 Parliament met in special session 25 years ago and voted in favor of Canada By DAVE McINTOSH Canadian Press Staff Writer The King and Queen came io Canada early in the summer of 1939, smiling their way oo Fig of cheering school chil- ren, Many adults didn't feel much like waving or cheering. re were 526,000 unemployed Cana- dians 'that summer, Some of them hadn't worked for years. In Ottawa, King George and Queen Elizabeth unveiled the monument in Confederation Square to Canada's 60,000 First World War dead. When the King got home -in July, he wrote to Prime Minis- ter Mackenzie King to thank him for the Canadian welcome and said; 'Before the summer is over you will, I hope, be able to get some real rest." But hardly anybody was to get any real rest for the next six years, All through August the tension in Europe mounted as" Hitler screamed new threats, Canadians, like most people, anxiously scanned their newspapers and listened to their radios for some straw of hope that war would be averted, There was none, For many Canadians, it was like dreaming a nightmare over again, Only 25 years earlier, Arch- duke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro - Hungarian throne, had been assassinated at Sara- jevo, Bosnia; Austria declared war on Serbia; Russia' ordered mobilization; Germany de- clared war on Russia and then on France and. invaded Bel- gium; Britain went to war with Germany and Canada found it- self at war through the action of the British government, Was the horror of the First World War to be endured all over again? CABLED HITLER On Aug. 25, 1939, Mr, King cabled Hitler, beseeching him not to invade Poland, He might as well have saved the cost of the cable. On Sept. 1 Germany invaded Poland and Mr. King- an- nounced that Parliament would meet Sept. 7 to decide on Can- ada's course, This was an important politi- cal departure for Canada. In 1914, the country took no part in the diplomatic exchanges leading to the final crisis, was not consulted by Britain and made no declaration of war, In 1939, the Canadian govern- ment decided to support Brit- ain but put its policy to the fest in Parliament. Mr. King Said Canadian participation in the war would depend on Parlia- ment's view, Mr. King, of course, never TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 11, 1964... Gen. George Washington was defeated in the Battle of Brandywine by a British force under Sir William Howe 187 years ago -- in 1777. American losses in the engagement, named after the Brandywine River in Pennsylvania' near where the battle was fought, were about 1,000 killed, wounded or taken prisoner compared with about 600 British losses, Howe followed up his victory and entered Phila- delphia 16 days later, 1609 English navigator Henry Hudson discovered the island of Manhattan. 1909 Halley's comet was first observed at Heidel- berg.

Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day in 1939, Polish troops in Warsaw resisted German attacks in the suburbs, A French communique claimed the French armies had made important ad- vances into Germany.

The War Meas- ures Act, still on the statute books from 1914, was already in force. ; On Sept. 8, Maxime Ray- mond, MP for Beauharnois-La- prairie, presented a petition in the Commons against Canadian participation in any extraterri- torial war, Conservative Leader R, J, Manion said: "We are bound to participate in this war." Mr. King, who had visited Germany in 1937, said that for three years the possibility of war with the. Third Reich "ab- sorbed more of my time and thought than all else com- bined." If this were so, the state of the armed forces didn't show it. The official army history of the Second World War, written by Col, Charles P. Stacey, "On Jan, 12, 1938, the prime minister wrote to all his colleagues in the cabinet re- minding them of the cabinet def- icits and emphasizing the im- portance of achieving a surplus and if possible some reduction in taxation before the next ap- peal to the electorate." (The Liberal government was re- turned in 1940.) URGED SPENDING CUT Mr, King, the history says, "begged" for a $70,000,000 cut in spending in 1938-39 and as a result army appropriations were reduced, { The military chiefs in 1936 asked for a $250,000,000 five- year defence buildup. They got $36,000,000 that year and the same amount the next, The ap- propriation in 1939-40 was $60,- 000,000. (Canada's defence bud- get this year is $1,526,000,000.) On Sept. 5, 1936, the chiefs of staff told the cabinet: 'The pos- sibility of a major' world war is becoming more apparent. In- deed, the realization is growing in many minds that the céssa- tion of hostilities in 1918 was but an armistice." Mr. King began his Sept. 8 speech in the afternoon and it was well into the evening be- fore he finished, In. this speech was the state- QUEEN'S PARK ment. which led eventually ts the 1944 conseription crisis: "The present government be- lieve that conscription of men for overseas service will not be a necessary or an effective bod No ol by egg ot fh introduc: present - ministration." a #4 He ended his speech by read ing all 14 verses of a poem written in the 1840s by Ameri- can James Russell Lowell en- titled The Present Crisis, J. 8.

"And for the second time we Shall be ruined after giving up our lives for others," NEUTRALITY OUT = (*~ Then Justice Minister Ernest Lapointe spoke. "For the sake of unity we cannot be neutral in Canada," he said. Perhaps foreseeing better than anyone the crisis which was later to convulse the na- tion, he concluded passionately with these. words: "God Save Canada, God save Canada's honor, Canada's soul, Canada's dignity, Canada's conscience." Ligouri Lacombe of Laval- Two Mountains said the price Mr, Lapointe was asking for unity was too high. He moved an amendment to keep Canada out of war but only one col- league voted with him, At 10:25 Saturday night, Sept. 9, the Commons approved' the government's policy, The Han- sard record shows that only Mr. Woodsworth stood against, The cabinet met later that night, On Sunday a special is- sue of the Canada Gazette was published at 12:40 p.m. It said: "A state of war with the German Reich exists and has existed in Canada as and from the tenth day of Septem- ber, 1939." On Monday, Finance Minister J. L. Isley asked for and got $100,000,000 for the war effort. A document was tabled show: ing that a private was to get $1.30 a day. ~ On Tuesday, the Commons approved establishment of a de- partment of munitions and sup- ply.

On Wednesday the fifth ses- sion of the 18th Parliament was prorogued, Fears Of Stream Plan Groundless By DON O'HEARN ' TORONTO--Three years ago when the Robarts plan in edu- cation was introduced, you may remember, there was consider- able trepidation. The plan broke down second- ary school education into three divisions, or "streams."" There was the arts and science stream, a course along the lines 'of the traditional straight academic education, Then added to this were new programs in business and com- merce, and science and tech- nology. The trepidation centred on concern as to whether these new programs would be ac- cepted by the students, and particularly by their parents. It was felt snobbery might might block their success. The authorities were afraid that parents were so imbued with the goal of a college edu- cation for their children, and the good old BA degree, that they would look' down their noses at the new "practical" courses, HAD TWO AIMS ; The major aim of the new approach was to provide the trained people for business and industry that the new jet-age in- dustrialized society was. calling for. And a secondary aim had to be to make this new type of education acceptable, to. make parents realize that the status of a trained technician was every bit as good as a trained school, - teacher, librarian or other product of the straight academic course, Now it turns out the fears were apparently groundless. Both objectives are coming along nicely, : The proof, of course, is in the statistics. The key year in the Robarts plan is Grade 10, When the students first enter secondary school in Grade 9 they do make an early choice on which stream they will fol- low. : (But Grade 10 is the key year. At- the start of this year they confirm their decision, ' They can easily switch at this point to another stream. And while they can. still change in later years the change is a much more serious adjustment, And Grade 10 is considered the committal year. Last year the first' group of students had to make this choice in Grade 10. And the figures show 'that about 45 per cent of them elected to follow the 'practical' courses, There was a total of 49,898 who elected for the straight aca- demic arts and sciénce course. And 23,172 chose business and commerce, with 17,747 electing for science and technology. This year the proportion is ex- pected to be even closer, with half the students going into academic and the other half into the two other fields, It's expected this 'trend will continue.to the point where the largest proportion of students will be taking the practical e light sunny flavour BRANVIN SHERRY AND PORT WINE _ courses.
