{The

A Sad Occasion

For members of The Guardian- Patriot staff, particularly those con~ nected with the news and editorial departments, the passing of Mr. A.L. (Gus) Flynn is a sad occasion in- deed. Not that the news was unex- pected, for he had been in a serious condition for several weeks, and had been sinking steadily for the past few days. But his cheery per- sonality seemed incompatible with death. and it is still hard to realize. the finality of his absence from his accustomed place. ‘ A comparatively young man, Mr. Flynn had risen to the position of managing editor of these news—

and fruitful career before him. His

r ability and conscientiousness were recognized by all; but what endear- ed him to his associates was his un- assuming manner, his invariable courtesy and friendliness, his con— cern for the feelings of others which is so important in achieving team- wOrk of any kind.

Mr. Flynn could get the best out of those he worked with because he always gave his best in return. He Would have been surprised at the suggestion that there was anything particularly praiseworthy about that, for it seemed the natural thing for him to do. Yet he was quick to ap- preciate this quality in others, and to encourage it with a smile or nod of approval. Therein, perhaps, lay the secret of his success in getting along so well with the junior mem- bers of the staff. who would go to any pains to avoid letting “Gus” down.

This is the third time in recent months in which we. have had oc— casion to pay sorrowful tribute to a departed fellow worker, wh os e friendship we valued highly and whose memory we hold in esteem.

Mr. Flynn is survived by his wife and one child, to whom our deepest sympathy is extended.

Reassurmg Survey

How close is the United States to a general war in Asia? A top level American official has said that such a war is possible if the Communists do not back off, but that he had faith it would not happen. Several con~ gressmen have expressed belief that America is moving toward possible violent collision with Communist North Vietnam. even Communist China. ()n the Communist side, North Vietnam has hinted it is ready to throw its large regular army into the fight. Plainly. an increasing show of force by both sides could explode at some point into war. But according to an Associated tress dispatch from Saigon, behind lie sabre rattling on both sides there he been little real military change the area and none is immediately tpected.

the Vietnamese air force are essen- tially modifications of types used during World War Two. Many two engine transport planes have arrived in recent months, but the volume and type of aircraft coming and expect- ed to come into Vietnam does not look like an indicator. of general war. While shooting incidents along the

. Laotian and Cambodian frontiers are

commonplace, the narrow Ben Hal river separating North and South Vietnam remains quiet.

The guerrilla war in South Viet- nam itself continues to take its toll of casualties on both sides, but the level of fighting is about the same as it has been for many months. Some weeks show heavier casualties and bigger clashes than others. There is no apparent pattern or trend.

This news is reassuring. It would be dangerous, of course, to accept it too complacentiy; but it lends color to the assumption that the emphasis by President Johnson on a more militant policy in this area

i was intended in part to counter the

rising attack by the conservative win g of the divided Republican Party. Senator Goldwater has threat- ened to make this a Republican cam- paign issue, and the reaction of the government has been to show that it is taking as firm a stand as the circumstances permit.

This does not, of course. mean that Mr. Johnson was bluffing when

i he warned Communist China that

the United States Would go to war rather than see Southeast Asia over- run by force or infiltration. It would seem to indicate. however. that the President is well aware of the con-

Quebec's Farm Problem

One of the basic troubles in Que- bec is the deep unrest among its farmers. This was underlined by the mass protest outside the Quebec Legislature last week. The discontent of the farmers would seem to rest not only on the fact that they are struggling to make a living on farms too small; there is also the complaint that the property tax is falling with disproportionate weight upon them. They do not earn enough, and they are taxed too high.

Farmers in this province will ap- preciate the difficulties their Que- bec counterparts are facing, bound as they are to a very old past, and under pressure of a very urgent future. Many of the farms are too small, even by Island standards. The old custom was to divide the paternal acres among the sons; and the sons, in turn. might divide them further. It was an effort to keep the family together, even through several gen- erations. It was part of the social solidarity, the family tradition and stability, that were, in themselves. cherished virtues.

This method of making farms smaller and smaller, notes the Mont- real Gazette, was far advanced more than a century and a half ago. Travellers between Montreal and Quebec would remark that the route seemed to be one continuous village, so close were the farmhouses to one another along the river road. Such a system, suited to the plain and frugal ways of the past, is now caught up in an era that demands large farms as the only basis of fin- ancing and utilizing agricultural automation. It is in the Lower St. Lawrence that the farm depression seems the worst. There the small farms, averaging 10 to 69 acres, are ripe for economic problems.

An experiment is being tried through ARDA to provide for the economic planning of large farm areas, through the guided co-opera— tion of groups of farmers. The ex- periment, tried so far only in certain depressed areas, has found an en- couraging response; but meanwhile the general situation has been de- teriorating. The large number of farmers who feel themselves being left behind and overburdened is forming a great pool of hardship and discontent that. holds danger for the future.

EDITORIAL NOTE

From Postmaster General John R. Nicholson in Ottawa comes word that the rate of air mail postage to the United States will become eight cents on July 15. He cites the increas- ed cost of handling mail as the reasonr’l'ha new rate will represent an him of one cant; per ounce on the present rate and compares to a straight eight cents per condo for thaU.S.airmailntatoOanada.

THE DEFLORIATION ISN’T COMPLETE OlTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholsou

Strugg le To Realig n Minority Groups

The Liberals today have 128

MPs in the House of Commons. 3

and need just. six more to give them the bait-est mathematical majority. There is not a single Liberal MP who does not pri~ veter wish, as Health Minister Judy LaMarsh recently admitted out loud in the House: “Give us ten more mem .‘

So inevitava there is a lot of fast, footwork going on behind the scenes. Starting within a week of the 1963 election we saw evidence of the struggle to re— align the minority parties and achieve a working majority for the Liberals; that was when we heard of the affair of "The Six"

wsix Social Credit MPs from : d d

Quebec whose names were af- ,

fixed to a memorandum addres— sed in the Governor General promising their support for a Liberal government.

The Six subsequently with- direw that promise; but later they bnoke away from the Social Credit Party under the leader- ship of Bob Thompson. a it formed the purely Quebec "Social Credit Rally“ under the leadership of Real Caouette.

Then there was a courting of individual MP5 of the Thomp- son group. with approaches be. me made to Bob Thompson himself, to Guy Marcoux and to others—approaches so creet that. they could be denied.

NEW DEMOCRATS WOOED Then there was the wooing of the socialists. This took place on two levels. provincially in Toronto. and federally through a clandestine meeting in the Ottawa apartment of Finance Minister Walter Gordon. in ad- dilion to Mr. Gordon. NDP lead- er. Tommy Douglas and deputy leader Douglas Fisher were both present; even Prime Minister Parson was expected

dis- ‘

the .

to amend, but he was kept at. '

home by influenza, and .instead he merely telephoned during the meeting. But even those nego- tiations failed to effect a merger between the Liberals and the New Democrats.

The more obvious way in which the liberals might have expected to win a majority was through twelve months of ef- fective and popular government, followed by another election. But private soundings and pub- lic polls indicate that. far from gaining seats in an election this year, the Liberals would probably lose a small number on balance, with some gains in French-Canadian districts but with heavier losses in Ontario.

“Who are they?" he enquired.

“They are the peacemakera," replied Pangiosa. "They are here to discourage the others."

Lush U.K. Beef Market

London Free Preaa

When Canadians hear that top grade steaks bring $2 per pound in Europe they may wonder why our farmers are not jumping into this market, for Ottawa is seeking every possible export dollar. They‘ forget that their own country- men are eating up every .avail- able pound here.

There might be some profit in shipment to Britain where the shortage is a matter of pub- lic concern if we had the prop- er facilities, We lack refriger- ation ships and proper packing facilities for loadng. Were we to hire such craft elsewhere we would only be cutting down on the beef shipments to meat-hun- gry Europe from other lands.

Canada might be able to ship some of the poor-grade cuts

want. With prosperity at hand

they want choice cuta— Just as e do.

Canada today is importing some American beef to meet its current need e Canad-

ian price is temporarily higher than that in United states. This probably will be short-lived as supply and dema will in- crease production. unless we become real plutocrets and everyone demands only top quality cuts. me has to eat the hambm‘g— and the ex- het for that commodity is not good. .

Ombudsman

F. 8. Manor in The Winnipeg Free Pro-a

The Canadian Bar Associa- tion has invited Sir Guy Powles, New Zealsmd'a Ombudsman— or "grievance man" as he popularly known in his country —— to address its 50th anniver-

.— a

gust, and there is now hope that the idea of Canada having an Ombudsman, or a number of Ombudsman. may be beginning to take root.

We idea has been mooted both federally and provincially for a number of years. As bur- eaucracy grows. as the power of Crown corporations and of provincial and municipal bodies reaches deeper and deeper into the everyday life of each indi- vi ms], t nee a sea pro- tect the individual against bur- eaucratic arbitrariness or high- nandedneas swiftly, and with- out the need of costly and pro- longed litigation.

The idea and the name of Ombudsman comes from Scandinavian countries. Swed- en has had an 1009 mid

PLANT PROTEINS

C.R. writes- Is there any harm in becoming a vegetar- inn?

REPLY

No. George Bernard Shaw, our most famous vegetarian, lived a long time. Meats are an excellent source of proteins, iron. and vitamins. But it is pos- aible to devise satisfactory meals through the proper selec- tion and combination of plant proteins.

ALL BOY M. G. writes: Is the diet re- sponsible for the growth of a 16-year-old boy who is now six feet seven inches?

Partly, but heredity deserves most of the credit. I assume this young man's growth is nor- mal and not of disturbed glan- dular or chromosomal origin.

Yea. especially when the vic- tim is kept awake by pain. short- ness of breath. or a ponounced irregularity of the beat.
