    By oe Name

    South Africa today stands ar-

    raigned for her apartheid policies,
    with demands being made for her
    expulsion from the United Nations
    on the ground that these policies
    are not only a breach of the UN
    Charter, but also constitute a threat
    to peace in Africa. Apart from the
    attack in the UN, South Africa is
    “also facing increasing pressure,
    particularly from the Afro. sian
    nations, on the economic and dip-
    lomatic fronts, with the threat of
    ~ armed support from the South Afri-
    can black nationalists.

    Now South Africa, which has boy-
    cotted the whole debate in the Un-
    ited Nations, has announced that
    there is no longer such a thing as
    apartheid! It has become, according
    to the Sunday Express of Johannes-
    burg, a “non-South African word.”
    From now on it is going to call its
    separation of the races “separate

    “development.” The whites will de-
    velop with all the rights and ad-
    vantages (as long as they support
    the government) and the others will
    develop to the extent the govern-

    * ment lets them—which isn’t much.

    The rest of the world will un-

    “ doubtedly still use the word apart-
    heid. It is the policy South Africa
    js pledged to, whatever it wants to
    call it. The key fact is that rivalry

    * for political power is confined to 8,-
    000,000 whites. The Coloreds: (of
    mixed-race descent) are represented
    by four white elected members in the
    160-strong lower House of Assem-
    + bly, but their influence is negligible
    11,000,000 Africans and 500,000 A:
    ans have no respresentation at. all.

    Despite world criticism and
    warnings from church leaders of all
    denominations, the Afrikaner Na-
    tionalists steadfastly pursue their

    policy of repression and white
    domination. Calling it by another
    name doesn’t make it any less
    odious, nor is it | likely to stave

    off the inevitable bloody disaster.

    A Lot Of Public Money
    Some 5,000 workers will be em-
    ployed in making a 27-mile canal
    that will “twin” the locks on the
    Welland Canal between Lake On-
    * tario and Lake Erie. According to

    Transport Minister Mcllraith, the
    “federal government plans to spend
    $180,000,000 on this project over the
    next five years, providing a two-
    Jane waterway capable of handling
    close to 80,000,000 tons of cargo an-
    fhually.

    In 1962, tonnage on the Welland
    ‘was 35,000,000. However, because of
    the suspension of tolls by the Diefen-
    ker government during midsum-

    mer, revenues last year were down
    _#ome $800,000 from the 1961 fig-

    ures. In all this loss, plus miscellan-
    hig items of interest, the St. Law-
    rence Seaway was $15,555,762 in
    the hole at the end of 1962, raising
    its accumulated deficit to $37,984,-
    395. Altogether, the Seaway Au-
    thority owes the government $383,-
    888,008 in loans and deferred inter-
    est payments. By law, this debt
    must be amortized by the year
    2009 through toll collections.
    Citing these deficit figures, the
    Halifax Mail-Star raises the point
    whether the new construction on
    the Welland is justified at this time.
    ‘The Pearson administration has in-
    dicated that it will give “serious
    ition” to re-imposing tolls
    the Welland, This will be of in-
    to the Seaside provinces which
    for the deficits on a system
    each year reduces the ocean
    through their year-round
    s. Whatever the recovery, if tolls
    gain levied, it will be but a drop

    *

    im @ bucket compared to an ouilay
    ef $180,000,000 for another series
    of locks to bypass Niagara Falls.

    “Would that the same imme-
    diacy were apparent at Ottawa,”
    says the Halifax paper, “in dealing
    with the dream—as old as Con-
    federation—of joining Prince Ed-
    ward Island to the mainland of
    Canada, a project that it has been
    estimated would cost some $90,000,-
    000 or, expressed in another way,
    half the figure of twinning
    Welland Canel.”

    Well, we are in hopes of seeing
    this dream materialize before too
    long. The latest report is that test
    drillings on the Northumberland
    Strait bottom are to begin this
    week, at a cost of some $150,000
    for which a contract has been let.
    ured, also, that the pro-
    ‘ed the feasibility tests
    and is definitely in the planning
    stage. Nevertheless, the urgency
    with which this new Welland pro-
    ject is being pressed does seem rath-
    er striking by contrast.

    Our Halifax contemporary also
    notes that the sum of money most
    frequently mentioned in connection
    with the redevelopment of the At-
    lantic Provinces is $100,000,000. All
    who are realists, it says, are perfeci-
    ly well aware of the fact that this
    amount, great as it is, could not pos-
    sibly finance the many projects and
    policies which must be adopted; over

    “THIS WASN'T WHAT IT HAD IN MIND”

    the years, to create an
    climate in the seaside provinces
    which will compare favorably with
    that which exists in more fortunate
    provinces, Ontario for example.

    Ottawa’s eagerness to “twin”
    the Welland, and to expend so much
    money in doing so, does, in the cir-
    cumstances, warrant some better
    explanation than has been given
    at this time. Perhaps our Maritime
    members will look into the matter
    when Parliament resumes.

    Disturbing Report

    We don’t know whether Health
    Minister Judy LaMarsh is a bridge
    addict or not; but it must have given
    her a jolt, after abandoning cigar-
    eites because of their health menace,
    to read in the Ottawa Journal that
    a bridge game also can have ser-
    ious efects under certain conditions.

    The Journal reports that when
    Dr. Milton Ende of Petersburg,
    Virginia, noticed that sometimes
    during a bridge game his heart
    would begin to pound and his face
    would feel flushed he started looking
    into the effects the game had on
    others. He persuaded 30 players
    taking part in a bridge contest to let
    their pulse, respiration and blood
    pressure be taken after every sec-
    ond hand. What he found was that
    in 16 of the 30 players, blood pres-
    sure “became significantly elevat-
    ed in what is usually considered
    hypertensive range.” The pulse
    rate of 11 of the 30 went up over
    100. Respiration did not seem to be
    affected.

    Dr. Ende asked 33 bridge play-
    ers how they slept on a night on
    which they had played bridge.
    Twenty said they had trouble sleep-
    ing. Sixteén said they slept better
    when they had played well than they
    did when they had played badly.
    Four said they had trouble sleeping
    when their’partner had played poor-
    ly.

    “Tt would be interesting to hear
    the results of a similar study on
    poker players,” the Journal con-
    cludes. “Pulse and blood pressure
    readings of a player trying to win
    the biggest pot of the evening on a
    bluff or drawing to a four-card
    straight flush might be astronomi-
    cal. Or do a poker pulse and poker
    blood , Pressure go with a poker
    face?”

    We don’t know. But here's a
    wide field of inquiry for our health
    authorities to investigate. And the
    game of politics itself—isn't that a
    nerve-wracking and pressure-build-
    ing business that could bear look-
    ing into?

    EDITORIAL NOTE

    “Trading stamps”, comments an
    American exchange, “have undone
    civilization in women. The gentlest
    become miserly and acquisitive. One
    ‘book requires two, two demand
    four, and four a thousand. A woman
    caught pasting her stamps makes
    to conceal her swag and stabs the
    intruder with a look, She is a reso-
    lute despot and, so long as the
    stamps Inst, neither invites nor
    gives society. Or as Omar might

    Why Abandon Canada’s Red Ensign?

    Canada will have a new “dis- |
    tin national flag” and a new
    “official wae anthem” be-
    fore April 8,

    Prime ae Lester Pear-
    son says so.

    One of the promises made by
    Mr. Pearson during the election |
    campaign was that these two |
    steps would be taken “within
    two years of a Liberal Govern.
    ment assuming office.” One of
    the decisions made by the new |
    Liberal Government during its |
    “Sixty days of Decision” was
    evidently to implement this
    promise. |

    But during the final week of |

    EAE PATRONAGE

    n reading your front
    news item ‘Fisheries Dept. |

    Under Heavy Fire”, last week )

    we realized that the chickens

    d_ come home to roost.

    Following the Conservative
    victory at the polls in 1957 and
    58 a large scale campaign was
    mounted and launched to dis-
    miss as many government em-
    ployees as they could and to fill |
    same from the ranks of their
    party supporters. The campaign
    was entered into with a venge-
    ance and it is a well known fact
    that the Conservative Party were

    successful in achieving
    their objective. The main target
    areas were the employees of the
    Fisheries Dept., Parks and Pub-
    lic Works.

    At the time this was happen-
    ing the Civil Service Federation
    of Canada was an operating
    body supposedly dedicated to the
    rights of all employees but they

    ere a silent group. In fact they
    were so very silent on this sub-
    ject at the time people find it dif-
    ficult to believe they were in ex-
    istence. It would appear to me
    that the Civil Service Federation |

    is now playing politics as a re- |
    sult of thelr silence in 1957-58,
    1e Federation is not playing
    political favoritism. why did we

    ENSIGN SUPPORTED
    Canada is roughly in three

    moods towards this flag ques-
    tion, Those of so-called “‘ethnic””
    origin, namely those of neither
    Brit nor French ancestry,
    mostly would like to see a new
    aring no indication of our

    jory and associations.
    | French-Canadians would like to
    see a French emblem given eq- |
    uality, or even pride of place, on |
    a Canadian flag: but recognizing |
    the unattainability of that aim,
    they would prefer a naked flag
    rather than one in which any
    British symbol predominated.

    British- Canadians, like the
    Canadian Legion, are happy
    with the Canadian Red Ensign,
    but the younger generation is
    apt to confuse heraldry with
    prison bars, and incorrectly as-
    sumes that critics of the Red |
    sign are correct when they |
    say that this flag signifies. our |
    present subordination to Britain. |

    This of course is balderdash.
    Our flag records our past hi s- |
    tory if we abandon the Red En- |
    sign, we should logically also |
    cease teaching Canadian his-
    te in our schools. S Afe
    rica, smaller and less important
    that Canada, is now neither a
    monarchy recognizing Elizabeth |
    as Queen of South Africa, nor
    even a member of the Common- |
    wealth: yet it retains. on its |
    very distinctive national flag, |
    the Union Jack as representing
    a. significant and ineradicable
    part of its factual history.
    LEGION CHOICE

    This recognition that heraldy
    and history should play a part in
    the design of a national flag re- |
    Jects the widely- plugged ‘Map-

    | the flag question for the Liberal

    le Leaf” flag, especially since
    the maple is not distinctive to
    Canada. Preferable from this
    point of view is the design back-
    ed by some sections of the Leg-
    ion: a field of ten horizontal
    blue and white bars represent-
    ing the provinces, with the U n-
    ion Jack in the upper left quad-
    rant, and a white Fleur-de-Lys
    representing France, superim-
    posed on that irrelevant maple
    leaf, in the

    task of preliminary research on

    Government s dug up
    some most interesting angles,
    and argues that the one distine-
    tive Canadian design in heral-
    dry today is our coat of arms. |

    ‘This appears in the fly of the |
    Red Ensign. Its upper half is
    quartered, to show the Lions of
    England, the Lion of Scotland,
    the Fleur-de-Lys of France, and
    the Harp of Ireland. Its lower
    half shows a group of three
    maple leaves conjoined; this, |

    sound reason, is the one herald-

    Raising Hackles In The U.N

    rman Cummings
    Canadian Press Staff Writer ©

    Mention of the phrase ‘“dou-
    ble standard” is the surest way
    0 raise hackles in the United
    Nations corridors these days.

    rase_ means different |
    things to different people.

    In the current context, it gen-
    erally refers to Western charges
    that the Afro-Asian use one set |
    of rules for the colonialists and |
    another for the rest of the
    world.

    As Portugal's Foreign Minis-
    ter Alberto Franco Nogueira put
    it. before the Security Council
    last week,
    that international lawlessness
    works in one direction only.

    “When people say they
    oldg, toinend Volunteers against
    Angola it is a lawful intention
    | and they are called volunteers,”
    he said. “If we did the same,
    that would be unlawful, and the
    volunteers would be called mer-
    cenaries.””

    HIGHEST AIM

    ‘This kind of charge infuriates
    the newly-independent coun-
    tries, who consider it their high-
    est and most sacred duty to rid
    the world of colonialism by all
    means possible.

    But independent observers see
    some validity in the charge.
    ‘They point to India’s use
    force in driving the Portuguese
    out of adjacent colonies in 1961
    —at almost the same time the
    Indians were pleading in the

    for peaceful settlement of
    disputes.

    In the Security Council de-
    bate, African delegates have
    warned that they are prepared
    to use force if Portugal won't
    get out of Angola, Mozambique
    ood her other African possess-

    most of us will begin to itch.

    Many skin disorders have a
    beginning or are made worse by
    psychic upsets. Some high -
    strung individuals are bothered
    with excessive sweating of the
    hands and feet. This, in turn,
    may encourage the growth of
    fungi and in time athlete's foot
    flourishes. Marked perspiration
    may irritate an existing derma-
    titis or make it itch.

    Emotional disorders also
    lead to hives, certain types of
    baldness, itching without appar-
    ent cause, and dry or oozing
    skin lesions. Dr. Norman R.
    Goldsmith says none of _ these
    conditions is found in institu-
    tions for the feebleminded. He

    Vascular refers to the blood

    veins, and capillaries. Harden-

    But the location and limita-
    tions of the site, at the intersec-
    tion of two major avenues will
    compel the owners and the ar-
    chitects in the rebuilding to ad-
    here to the familiar flat- iron
    outlines.

    Before the turn of the century,
    ‘the site was the location of the
    Pabst Hotel. In 1902 Adolph Ochs
    then owner of the New York
    Times, leased it from Charles

    The decision of Poland’s Com-
    munists to postpone their party
    congress until next year is an-
    other sign of the rising tensions
    in that country. Before that an-
    nouncement, Wladyslaw Gomul-
    ka had lashed out at Poland’s
    Catholic bishops; a campaign
    to tighten controls over Polish
    intellectuals had begun; and
    key member of the Polish Com-
    munist leadership, Roman Zam-
    browski, had resigned from the
    party Politburo.

    ie nervousness among Po-
    lish Communists that these
    events suggest arises from a
    number of causes. One is the
    worsening of economic — condi-
    tions for the ordinary citizen,

    dered for gas, coal and electri-

    city contributed to substantial
