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?

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.

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.
