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
âalso 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 ânon-South African word.â
From now on it is going to call its
separation of the races âseparate
âdevelopment.â 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 themâwhich isnât much.
The rest of the world will un-
â 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 doesnât 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 âtwinâ the locks on the
Welland Canal between Lake On-
* tario and Lake Erie. According to
Transport Minister Mcllraith, the
âfederal 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
âwas 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.
âThe Pearson administration has in-
dicated that it will give âserious
itionâ 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.
âWould that the same imme-
diacy were apparent at Ottawa,â
says the Halifax paper, âin dealing
with the dreamâas old as Con-
federationâof 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.â
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-
âed 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
âTHIS WASN'T WHAT IT HAD IN MINDâ
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.
Ottawaâs eagerness to âtwinâ
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 donât 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 âbecame significantly elevat-
ed in what is usually considered
hypertensive range.â 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 theirâpartner had played poor-
ly.
âTt would be interesting to hear
the results of a similar study on
poker players,â the Journal con-
cludes. âPulse 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?â
We donât know. But here's a
wide field of inquiry for our health
authorities to investigate. And the
game of politics itselfâisn't that a
nerve-wracking and pressure-build-
ing business that could bear look-
ing into?

Why Abandon Canadaâs Red Ensign?
Canada will have a new âdis- |

Prime ae Lester Pear-

One of the promises made by
Mr. Pearson during the election |
campaign was that these two |
steps would be taken âwithin
two years of a Liberal Govern.

the decisions made by the new |

evidently to implement this
promise. |

EAE PATRONAGE
n reading your front
news item âFisheries Dept. |
Under Heavy Fireâ, 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,

ENSIGN SUPPORTED
Canada is roughly in three
moods towards this flag ques-
tion, Those of so-called ââethnicââ
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.

and history should play a part in
the design of a national flag re- |

the maple is not distinctive to
Canada. Preferable from this
point of view is the design back-

ing the provinces, with the U n-
ion Jack in the upper left quad-
rant, and a white Fleur-de-Lys

posed on that irrelevant maple

eran and lawyer who represents

task of preliminary research on

some most interesting angles,
and argues that the one distine-
tive Canadian design in heral-
dry today is our coat of arms. |
âThis 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, |
asserts John Matheson with |
sound reason, is the one herald-
ic symbol distinctive to Canada.

that international lawlessness

âThis kind of charge infuriates

the world of colonialism by all
means possible.
But independent observers see
some validity in the charge.
âThey point to Indiaâs use

âat almost the same time the
Indians were pleading in the

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

may irritate an existing derma-

Emotional disorders also
lead to hives, certain types of
baldness, itching without appar-

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
âalso 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 ânon-South African word.â
From now on it is going to call its
separation of the races âseparate
âdevelopment.â 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 themâwhich isnât much.
The rest of the world will un-
â 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 doesnât 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 âtwinâ the locks on the
Welland Canal between Lake On-
* tario and Lake Erie. According to
Transport Minister Mcllraith, the
âfederal 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
âwas 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.
âThe Pearson administration has in-
dicated that it will give âserious
itionâ 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.
âWould that the same imme-
diacy were apparent at Ottawa,â
says the Halifax paper, âin dealing
with the dreamâas old as Con-
federationâof 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.â
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-
âed 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
âTHIS WASN'T WHAT IT HAD IN MINDâ
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.
Ottawaâs eagerness to âtwinâ
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 donât 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 âbecame significantly elevat-
ed in what is usually considered
hypertensive range.â 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 theirâpartner had played poor-
ly.
âTt would be interesting to hear
the results of a similar study on
poker players,â the Journal con-
cludes. âPulse 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?â
We donât know. But here's a
wide field of inquiry for our health
authorities to investigate. And the
game of politics itselfâisn't that a
nerve-wracking and pressure-build-
ing business that could bear look-
ing into?

Why Abandon Canadaâs Red Ensign?
Canada will have a new âdis- |

Prime ae Lester Pear-

EAE PATRONAGE
n reading your front
news item âFisheries Dept. |
Under Heavy Fireâ, 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,

ENSIGN SUPPORTED
Canada is roughly in three
moods towards this flag ques-
tion, Those of so-called ââethnicââ
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.

and history should play a part in
the design of a national flag re- |

the maple is not distinctive to

point of view is the design back-

rant, and a white Fleur-de-Lys

posed on that irrelevant maple

task of preliminary research on

some most interesting angles,
and argues that the one distine-
tive Canadian design in heral-
dry today is our coat of arms. |
âThis 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, |
asserts John Matheson with |
sound reason, is the one herald-
ic symbol distinctive to Canada.

that international lawlessness

âThis kind of charge infuriates

the world of colonialism by all
means possible.
But independent observers see
some validity in the charge.
âThey point to Indiaâs use

Indians were pleading in the

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

may irritate an existing derma-
titis or make it itch.
Emotional disorders also
lead to hives, certain types of
baldness, itching without appar-
