Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1964---PAGE 6 _ Birth Control Reality, Law Should Any law that is unenforced and unenforceable is a bad law: Can- 'ada has many such laws, which are generally attempts to legislate in areas which are properly of concern only to the conscience of the in- 'dividual -- to replace private moral- ity with a public code advanced generally by a nagging minority. Such a law is the one that makes it an offence to sell or advertise contraceptives of any kind or give instruction in methods of birth control. The General Council of the 'United Church 'has asked Prime Minister Pearson for a free vote on a private member's bill w hich would legalize birth control. This would not mean government endor- gation of such a move, but would permit the individual to act accord- Police State The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police wants the federal justice department to take steps to legalize wire taping, They would 'make wiretapping the prerogative of the police; the legislation they propose would forbid wiretapping and make it punishable by law "un- jess an order has been obtained." The sugarcoating proposed by the chiefs of police do nof make the proposal any the more pala- table. It would give the police enormous and unwarranted powers to pry into the private lives of every citizen. It would undoubtedly make the catching of some criminals easier, but to achieve that result the whole country would be moved Be Changed ing to inclination and conscience in a matter which is strictly one of private: decision, without being even technically a law-breaker. The fact is, of course, that most Canadians can and do practise birth control, and that they can buy contraceptives quite openly in drug stores across the land. Some of the contraceptives are in open dis- play on shelves. But those who offer these items for sale could be charged at any time. The law forces the majority of Canadians to be law-breakers. And there are other Canadians who could profit from instruction in birth control methods, but the law stands in the way. For too long has Par- liament avoided its responsibility to change this absurd bit of legis- lation, Threats a big step in the direction of the police state, Some attention should be paid by our legislators, However, to the present state of the art of elec- tronic, eavesdropping. Wiretapping, in the sense of using some device to listen to conversations carried by telephone wires. is a crude and old- fashioned method. Tiny micro- phones and other extremely sensi- tive electronic gadgets have been devised which permit eavesdrop- ping in a manner which makes the wiretap seem archaic. The law should be examined to ensure that these new methods are subject to the same controls as the "bug" on a telephone line, Daily Dose Of History The Oshawa Times is now pub- lishing a "comic" strip which should be instructive as well as entertain- ing for adults and youngsters alike. It is called "The Giants" and deals with the lives of great Canadians. Canada has been called "the un- known country," and unfortunately it is unknown, in large measure, to all too many of its own people. Test after test given to Canadians young and old, have shown a. de- pressingly large number of them to be ignorant. of their country's history and traditions. high school class, for example, was asked to name Canada's first prime minister; not one in five of the students give a correct answer.

This has not only followed the remarkable advances in medicine in recent years, but has stemmed from the introduction of the hospital insurance plan and coincided with the very great in- crease in motor traffic and motor accidents many of them needing an ambulance. Is it not logical that if a person injured on the road, or ill for a number of other reasons, has his hospital bil] paid from an insurance plan, then the ambulance service, whose drivers may be called upon to render first aid, should not also be paid from the same source, and by the same supervising body?

In out - man- oeuvring Mr. D to achieve this, Mr, P has won a great victory for Parliament. The new 15-man committee of Parliament will recommend a new. flag design within six weeks. Its recommendation is unlikely to be wholly unani- mous; Mr. Diefenbaker, speak- ing for himself, not for the total- ity of his party, says he will not accept its report unless it is, "substantially unanimous," with at least 12 committeemen supporting it But when that report is pre- sented {o Parliament, the jaws Ability To Absorb Gluten Disturbed By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD. Dear Dr. Molner; Some months ago my small grand- son's ailment was diagnosed as celiac disease. Up to then I have never heard of it He is now two years. old and has come.a long way through diet. Could you tell me some- thing about its symptoms,treat- ment, etc., and do you feel this little fellow will outgrow the trouble?--MRS. J.L. Celiac disease is a_ disturb- ance in the ability to absorb in the intestina tract, a certain protein, gluten, The disease appears, if Heis going to, in the first three years of life. While the baby is breast- fed or .bottle-fed, there is no trouble Symptoms begin to appear aftey foods with gluten--these are mainly wheat and rye--are introduced into the dict Diarrhea, weight loss, slow growth and a distended: stomach are the chief symptoms Part of the disorder is a change in the membrane of the . second portion of the smaijl in- testine, called the jejunum, It is here that much of the digestion and absorption of food occurs, and the presence of gluten up- sets its activity. This change in the membrane can be deter- mined by a biopsy done through a smal! special tube Treatment consists of avoiding gluten--substituting rice, corn or. barley for wheat and rye With such a change in diet, the diarrhea cases and the child gains in weight and general health. The membrane of the jejunum tends to correct itself, There can be relapses, however, if the child again starts getting glu- ten. For this reason it is wisest to continue the gluten-free dirt indefinitely . Careful diagnosis is necessary to distinguish celiac disease from food allergies such as hypersensitivity to milk or other foods, evstic fibrosis, and in- fection of the intestinal tract. These can. cause symptoms re- sembling. those of celiac dis- ease ' Incidentally, an adult counter- part of celic disease sometimes occurs. Ht is known as non- tropical sprue Dear Dr. Molner: I have vari- cose veins in my breasts. I am 14 years old and overweight about 2 pounds. T haye been on-a diet under a doctor's care but remain. Did-being overweight have anything to do the veins with this? And is it dangerous? --J.B. : Maybe being overweight did have something to do with it, but let's get one thing straight Not every blue vein that you can see is a' "varicose vein." It's better to call them "promi- nent veins." : "Varicose" means "abnor- mally dilated." Lots of people, maybe most people, can see the veins in. the backs of their hands at times. But. that's normal enough. They aren't "abnor- mally dilated." Varicose Veins almost always are in the lower part of the body, usually in the legs, be- cause that is where the greatest pressure is on the veins. As for blue veins in the breasts, overweight may have helped. make them. visible but they aren't dangerous. and will not Cause any trouble. You should get rid of your excess pounds, but don't expect the loss of weight to make these veins invisible. They may al- ways remain. Such blue veins in the breast are not unusual at all of the trap into which he has walked will inexorably close around the leader of the oppo- sition if the prime minister chooses to play it that way. The chairman- of the com- mittee will move that the House of Commons adopt the renort, But such a motion is not sub- ject to amendment, and this imposes a limit on further de- bate; each MP can speak to that motion only once, before the House votes on the motion. The prime minister's original flag motion, however, could have _ amendments or sub- amendments moved without limit; thus debate was being protracted indefinitely by the simple device of moving an- other amendment when the op- position ran out of speakers, and this permits every previous speaker to make another speech If, as seems certain, the House of Commons accepts the committee's recommendation a new flag design -- even though by a narrow margin on a roll- call vote, it would then be quite proper for the government to implement the decision of the House by Order-in-Council with- out further discussion in Parlia- ment. That would be the ulti- mate triumph for the prime minister. IMPRESSIVE SPEECHES As a wrapup of the past de- bate, it may interest readers to know that it opened on June 15 and ran for three days; it was reopened on June 30 and ran for three more days; finally it was taken up again on Aug. 12 and ran for 16 days. Three votes were taken during those 22 days, revealing a progressively smaller attendance of MPs: 187 out of a possible 262 voting on the first. occasion, then only 153, and finally 149 During the ebate, 86 out of 96 Tories spoke, delivering 117 speeches including some as elo- quent, moving and thoughtful as any I-have ever heard in Parliament, Thirty-two Liberals made 32 speeches, seven New Democrats made 10 speeches, eight Socreds made cight speeches, and five Creditistes made seven speeches. Four Tories from Quebec, five from the Prairies and one from Ontario did mot speak at all. Three Tories, all from Alberta, each made the record number of three speeches. 7 It has been charged by the Liberals that this debate, largely concentrated in the sec- ond half of August, was a fili- buster delaving the legislative process of Parliament.

Fran- cis died in 1596. The rider? Drake's ghost, of course. The baying of his hounds is ~ gaid to be so terrible that any living dog that hears them dies on the spot. Chains clank and dreadful wails split the damp air of many a British stately home, so they say, Drake's outdoor excursions are the exception. For instance, Queen Victoria's ghost Henry XII haunts Hampton Court. So do some of his ex- ecuted wives. Less noble figures called pol- tergeists lurk in smaller dwel- lings -- country cottages and seaside shanties -- and play tricks on residents. Few Britons think ghosts are purely the products of imagina- tion, Many learned members of the Society for Psychical Re- search, founded in 1882, say there can be some manifesta- tions of dead persons. Even the Church of- England takes the official position that ghosts are possible. 'We do not dismiss it as superstition," a spokesman said. 'IT think -- it must be admitted that there good and bad spirits in the world," CAN BE EXORCISED Church officials occasionally conduct services of exorcism-- what used to be 'damning by bell, book and candle," Norman Dixon, 26, and his wife Audrey 'said their bed- clothes had been mysteriously pulled off; that they had felt cold objects on their backs and fingers digging into their sides; dnd that they had seen zigzag- ging lines shimmering on the walls of their Sunderland house, The previous residents had been interested in spiritu- alism, : Rt. Rev. J. A. Ramsbotham, bishop of Jarrow, exorcised the poltergeists in a 10 - minute service. Glamis Castle in Scotland, where Macbeth is said to have murdered King Malcolm, is probably the most famous haunted building in the world. Besides ghostly forms, chilling winds in corridors and unex- plained noises, there is an aw- ful secret known only to the Earl of Strathmore, who lives there, and his eldest son. The Tower of London has more than its share of ghosts. Restless persons who were be- headed there are said to stalk the passageways protesting their innocence.

Leader Requires Broad_ Following By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- What qualities does a man need to have to be a good political leader? This, of course, is one of those almost endless questions. You could go on discussing it, and mentioning possible quali- fications for time eternal. However there are certain de- sirable qualifications which oc- cur to the observer--and, with the Liberals busy at the mo- ment selecting a new leader, they may be of interest. KNOW ALL Perhaps the most desirable trait of all in a leader is that he should know and understand all sides of the community. He has to represent all sides, and therefore should understand the problems of all, But even more important, he has to ap- peal to all sides if he is to be successful. And, if he doesn't understand the problems and the thinking behind them, he can't very well do this. This lack of a broad hase probably has killed the chances of more of our political leaders than any other factor (George Drew and John Bracken are two that come to mind im- mediately). ENERGY, DEDICATION A good leader, of course, must have energy and dedica- tion. He has to fire up the populace, and he can hardly do this unless he's on fire himself. He should, of course, be a good speaker and a bit of a showman. He has to get votes, an he can hardly do this if he can't communicate, He must have good judgment in hiring people, Good subordin- aies are necessary for a leader. And poor ones, and the inability to pick good ones, have defeated some good men. He must be able in turn, to get good men to run under him as candidates. And it's surprising how many ambitious men can't do this, They can't get prominent peo- ple to stand with them. PERSONAL ODDITIES Then there are some odd per- sonal characteristics which are an advantage. Prominent' among these is that it is better to be a "'loner". The leader is better off if he stands apart. History shows few successful leaders who have been '"'mixers,"" who have s0- cialized much with their col- leagues. Political leadership calls for hard unemotional decisions, And so the leader can be close to only a very few people, It also is probably better if he doesn't have a sizeable fam- ily. For he can find himself automatically protecting it against potential gossip or hurt and losing effectiveness because of this, He also should be able to raise money. And, in Ontario, -at least, it would seem better if he is not a big city man, par- ticularly from Toronto, though with respect of the cities. CAUSES HAY FEVER SHERBROOKE, Que.
