~ Thankful Overmuch

~ Youthful enthusiasm is a wonder- ful thing; and what could be’ more -wonderful than the enthusiasm with which Premiér- Campbell moved his. resolution of confidence in the leader- “ship of Prime Minister Pearson at the. Liberal party conference in Ot- tawa this week? The Premier was enamoured- particularly with his na-_ ‘tional party leader’s “philosophy,” in is his enunciation of “the new politics ‘for Canada,” through which “‘we, as- ‘grass roots Liberals,” he said, “are privileged: here to gather in: national

‘conference to plant the seeds of those. . gtass roots firmly in the soil of our |.

party’s national policy.”

. Let's hope, before‘the grass ‘grows too Jong, that we shall see more beneficial results accruing to this

province from the policies of the |.

‘Pearson government than we have seen heretofore. -Premier Campbell - {s the last person who should forget’ that he is stuck with a lot of election ‘promises based on handouts from Ot- ‘tawa that show no sign of materializ- © ~ The postponement of the July 1, ‘1967 target date for medicare, for which Mr. Pearson takes full respon- sibility, invalidates all the promises “made by Mr. Campbell of putting this” measure into effect in this province on that date; but if he expressed any - regret on this point at the Liberal conference, it has not been reported. Of more serious concern, however, 4s the fact that legislation will be ibrought forward in the months ahead ito provide for the new federal-prov- ‘incial fiscal arrangements to replace ithe tax-sharing agreements that ex- ‘pire-next March 31, and that this ‘province is to be fobbed off with a ‘beggarly increase of $200,000—an jamount, as Mr. Campbell sarcastically -fnoted when it was announced— ‘equivalent to what our Legislature ‘voted for a skunk bounty a short ‘time ago a + Quebec and the other Atlantic ‘provinces were offered generous in- ‘creases under this deal, ‘Prince Edward Island. How, in the ‘circumstances, does the Campbell ‘government hope to meet-the com- mitments it made to the electors, and how can it regard such treatment by . any federal leader as meriting an ‘unqualified: vote of confidence? Let’s hope, at least, that by this time our Island Liberal delegation at Ottawa has received some assurance that its plea for federal resumption of the responsibility for continuous’ ‘operation of our Borden-Tormentine ferry service will receive considera- tion. That would be worth a qualified motion of thanks, if it insures us against being subjected to the kind of treatment we received during the recent railway strike. But it certainly wouldn’t justify a blanket indosation of the leadership responsible for the “snubs this province has received_ from Ottawa in recent months.

South Africa Again

The South ‘African ambassador:to .Canada delivered “an. address in Tor- ~onto recently, in which ‘he castigated | the. news media of this country for carrying out-a “shameful campaign”

of hate and fury against South Africa~|. ed 58.cents of the retail food dollar

and its slain prime. minister, Dr... Hendrik Verwoerd. This is ‘palpably untrue. Unlike a totalitarian state,

abolish multiracial political parties— a virtual prohibition of all political contact across the color line—and ban criticism of one political party which forms the government. The government itself may be criticized hy any of the population groups of political parties, thus permitting non- whites to -criticize—the_government while being. unable to criticize the Nationalist party.

The confusing legislation-is-design- ed, apparently, to separate political black and white associations. But the legislation also, contains a clause to explicitly guarantee the freedom of press from the provisions of the bill. Still another clause gives the interior minister the power “to prohibit any- thing else which in his judgment may have the effect of defeating the objects of.the bill.”

Observers see one main object of this extraordinary measure as an at- tempt to' block the multi-racial Pro-

gressive party-from elections schedul-|-_ |

ed for next nionth. These elections would provide the opportunity for the party to try and elect four whites to represent more than 1,500,000 per- sons of mixed race—the South Afri- -can term for-those who. are neither. white nor Negro.

There may, of course, ti other in- terpretations. At any rate, the free _ press in this country feels it has a right to present such facts as it can come at about the new legislation, . and draw its own conclusions. The South “African ambassador, in ‘his

US. Immigration

- .Deplored as a drain on our man- power resources has heen the emigra- tion of many Canadians to the United States in recent years. Something has now been done about this prob- lem; though the action hasn’t come from this side of the boundary line. It emanated from Washington in a new Immigration Act, sign a year } ago, under which for the first time a

and Latin Americans was -applied. The results to date, as ‘announced over the weekend, show a dramatic

try. Immigrant visas dropped from:

40,013 to 18,595 in the past seven months.

Under the revised law Asian and Middle East immigration has jump-. ed. Immigrants from Italy have in- , creased four time, from Greece 20 times. The Philippines, Poland, and ~ some African nations also benefited. But fewer Englishmen, Scots, Irish, Swedes, Germans, and Canadians are now getting through.

In effect, the new act has switched ‘ the flow of migrants from the his- toric reservoifs of Western. Europe

and Asia. The current figures re- flect an interim period; the old _sys-

over three years. On June 30, 1968, the new act imposes a limit of 20,000

} immigrants from any one country, ||’ - on a first-come, first-served basis.

~ The old law judged an immigrant’s application according to where he was born—the so-called ‘ national origins quotas. The new law sets up new criteria; whether or not the ap- plicant has close family ties to citi- zens or resident aliens already in the » U.S. or whether: he possesses OP skills in short supply.

- In: the interim ‘period, countries — with traditional high quotas—Britain, Northern Ireland, Scandinavia—can still use them. But because they have never filled them, the unused por- tions are being taken away, put into a pool, and allocated among the 30 or So nations with small quotas and long waiting lists.

Farm statistics always ap- pear more interesting to people who do not live on the land and have no mud on their boots. A practical farmer has more ap- pealing, and urgent, tasks than looking at figures in a Govern-

report.

Yet farm morale must be helped the news that the av- erage Canadian farmer, who produced enough food for 14 peo- ple in 1949, now produces enou- gh for 35

It is not ° done easily and there’s cause for worry to the nation in the fact that fewer and fewer are ready to carry the load. The drift from the farm continues.

A belated start.is being made by governments tp help the farmer modernize, improve suit- able land and get off bad land, and raise further the quality of livestock. It is short- sighted to argue that the farmer’s plight can be met simply if he charg- es more money for -his~ milk, grain and cattle. He needs a fair,return, of course, but the

objective should be to. make farming a good career, a rewarding challenge in produc- ing more food for more people from land ‘properly cared for and worked with machinery in- volving ever smaller Ohysical effort. ‘

A_ Canadian foundation, sup- ported by the Ontario -Govern- ment, has taken over the: chapel ig Honiton, Eng., which marks the grave of Lt.-Gen. John Gra- ves Simcoe, first lieutenant-gov- ernor of Upper Canada. He is given credit for founding Toroh- to, having moved the capital of the province from Newark (now Niagara-on-the-lake) to Muddy WORK, 5

We have no objection to him having founded Toronto. But he did err when he made it the capital of the province. It would have been better had he select- ed a more suitable place. Lord Simcoe, of course, could not then have known that Toronto

| Bedtime Snacks

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen

Excessive physical activity, exci nt, and emotional pro- blems interfere with sleep. But what about the bedtime snack?

+—A-group-from-Marquetté Univer-_

sity School ‘of Medicine in Mil- waukee tested 36 men and found that it made very little differ-

ence. The volunteers received a |. light snack of cereal, milk, and

sugar. The “depth of sleep was body.

Kleitman believes that when

awaken the itidividual, he awak- ens in response to a digestive cycle. He is gently nudged by hunger contractions. _

Stress influences protein me- tabolism. Special studies on col-

:| lege students at the time of fin-

al examinations revealed that their nitrogen balance (a reflec-: tion of protein metabolism) was markedly depressed. There also was an increase in the pulse rate. Freshmen had greater changes than upper classmen, but daily variations were noted in both groups.

ICE IN BRONCHITIS. G. M. writes: My mother has

‘| bronchitis, which causes hard coughing. A nurse advised me }

to put an ice bag over her throat and chest to draw out the ‘in-

flammation. Is this the Bie! bey

thing .to.do?.- REPLY | ‘An ice bag to the neck {s stan- dard treatment for sore throat but is not effective in bronchitis becausé cold cannot penetrage

the inflamed bronchi. Most phy- |.

sicians recommend the inhala-

: tion_of _steam-along- with -decon- ES

gestants to ease coughing.

PERSPIRATION. WHILE ~ SLEEPING

D. S. writes: What is the cause

‘of excessive perspiration of the

head while sleeping? The parts

‘of the body that are covered are |-

not affected.

: REPLY ‘ Some areas ‘perspire more freely than others, among them the hands, feet, -and- forehead.

While sleeping, perspiration on |

the extremities is absorbed by the bed linen whereas that on the forehead is not wiped off and

hence is more noticeable.

SIDE EFFECTS OF “PILL” A. R. writes: I read that birth control” pills can cause psuedo- pregnancy. Are these pills per- fected enough to be safe? REPLY Yes, considering the millions of women who now take the se pills without side reactions. They do not cause pseudo-pregnancy, but create a hormonal state that mimics that which occurs dur- ing pregnancy. This is the rea- son why conception does not oc- cur. ;

BOWED LEGS P. E. B. writes: I am-33 years

old and my legs are bowed |

above the knee. Am I too old to have this’ corrected? REPLY

You are not too old, tut a bit

bold, considering the type of de-

formity. May I suggest that you |

consult an’ orthopedic surgeon and discuss. what must be done to correct the bowing?
