He quoted Finance Minister Sharp as saying the increase in the cost of | r living has not been serious. But, he — added, ‘I prefer to take the views of

the prices and down and down goes the:amount you canepurchase.”

Farm machinery costs have also risen to “unheard of levels,” but farm incomes have not kept pace. “Pork and beef prices to consumers have risen but none of the increase went to the farmers.’’ This may be an over- statement, but there is no question that there is too big an area.of profit between the basic producer and the consumer.

The Pearson government doesn’t take kindly to suggestions from the Opposition leader. It has gotten into the way of regarding him as a vendor of “scandal and scuttlebutt” and they seem to resent it when he insists on

tructive criticism’ But that, too, is is job. What is most disturbing about exorbitant living costs is that they, are the only part of the inflationary spiral that hits communities which are not enjoying the “‘beom” that. Mr. Sharp is so concerned about control- ling.

Intestinal Pockets

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Deilen - Diverticular disease of the | colon becomes more common advancing years. These pockets in the wall of the large intestine are rare prior to age 4, but thereafter the incidence increases and 60. per cent of those surviving the next 40

years will develop the condition. i with greater longevity of | the population, we can expect |

| More and more persons to deve- lop the disorder. ‘| ' The condition begins and usu- |

ally remains a peaceful malady.

Small pockets protrude through |

weakened points in the muscu-

lar layer of the intestinal wall. |

The favoied locations are where

tiny blood vessels penetrate the | wall. Constipation and spastic |

colitis increase_the pressure

ening effect. With advancing years, the wall is bound to give and the changes are compar- | able to graying hair, wrinkles,

elsewhere in the body.

This stage (diverticulosis) is benign and treatment necessary. However, a bland diet may be needed to control colon -irritability or constipa-: tion. It may be advisable to les- sen the intake of ice cold food

and drinks, strong coffee and |

alcohol. The victim also should improve general health. The. situation changes when the outpouching ‘becomes infect- sdiverticulitis). This occurs

Recalling Hees’ Successful export Drive

Hon George ‘Hees, who achieved ed such well-earned praise as Minister of Trade. and Com- merce before resigning from the Diefenbaker government, - is unostentatiously but surely re- climbing the political ladder. ~

Last week he made news through an idea laden speech to the’ Young Conservatives at London's" Western Fair Grounds and he won a deserved: pat on the back_from_those_who read Fi- nance Minister Mitchell Sharp's

ing eye.

Our dangerously high and mounting: deficit on ‘nternation- al payments is the gravest warning flag in our national eco-

nomic picture. In 1956, the last full year of the St. Laurent Li- beral Government, this had risen to over one and one third billion dollars. Of this, just over half was the deficit on merchan- dise trade. The remainder was the deficit on non-merchandise transactions,’ ‘which consist of export of gold ». always a plus item for Canadé, travel expen- ditures - which fluctuate wildly; interest and dividends - which is a fast mounting minus item; freight and shipping - a dimi- nishing minus item, etc. EXPORT DRIVES SUCCESS As Minister of Trade and Com- merce; George Hees could in- fluence the balance on mer- chandise trade, and he swung this in Canada’s favour by his

_If it hasn’t. heard the rumpus | __ already, the federal government will soon know what we think about this ‘ piece of claptrap in Prince Edward . Island. Perhaps it doesn’t care any more. But surely our old friend Trans- port Minister Pickersgill must be hav- “~ ing some qualms of conscience. It was he who championed our cause- ‘way claims when in opposition and

ference would be desirable,

_who assured us at Kensington on Oct. 8 last that there would be no further holdup, that the work was. being pushed ahead and that it was nota |’ “gift” to P.E.I., not an election bribe —perish the thought!—but a sound economic investment for all Canada.

Then there was External Affairs Minister Paul Martin, who told us at _O’Leary on Oct. 26, as one reason for getting started at once, that this pro- ject would “do more to stimulate the | economic growth of Prince Edward | _Island than anything ai since Confedera- tion.” |

We could quite other ministerial sources. on this theme, but we fore- bear for the present. They’ll be hear- ing plenty about it from now on. Enough, perhaps, to induce them to give second thoughts to perpetrating a blunder which, apart from its other consequences, could bury the Liberal party in this province for _ next generation.

- A Good Sagawiion: /

The Sharp budget hasn't done much, if anything, to solve the cost-of- living problem; and it is that with ~-which~ all ‘governments~ should be: * most concerned at this time. This gives point to Mr. Diefenbaker’s sug- gestion, made the other day at a Con- servative rally in Saskatoon, that # federal-provincial .conference should | be called to investigate the rising prices of food and-farm machinery.
