As indicated in our news dispat- ches. a Canadian flag with a single red maple leaf was iecommended lo
' the Commons yesterday by the flag
committee. but it. apparently failed to meet Conservative demands for virtually unanimous support. So here we go again. with a deadlock looming in what has already be- come. to the general public. the jdreariest controversy in our parlia- mentary history.
How seriously this question has contributed to delaying the other business of the. House is illustrated in the present state of the depart- mental estimates. A 330-page blue book of estimates was presented on March 3 by Finance Minister Gor- don. 'l‘wenty-two departments of government have to have their estimates approved. So far work has been completed on only seven. And already this is the longest parlia- mentary session since Confedera- tion.
If the t'onserxatives persist, in their opposition. it. is suggested that only three courses are open to the Government. It could ask that the House be dissolved. bringing on an election over an issue that could not fail to cause more disharmony in the country. Or it. could impose closure. and cut. off the debate. Closure has unhappy associations. especially for the party now in p0wer. The third choice Would he to shelve the flag issue. which is hardly likely to appeal to a government Committed to putting it, through.
Both sides in this controversy have painted themselves into a cor- ner. and this is the result. All over an issue which wasn't even mention- ed in the Speech from the Throne, and which won't help to solve a sin- gle one of the problems that Par- liament was convened to deal with.
If the public is saying today “A plague on both your houses!" who indeed can blame it'.’
About Our Causeway
"Works Minister Deschatelets" says the Montreal Star. “did noth- ing to endear himself to Prince Ed- ward Islanders in his assurance that the government. is giving ‘very active consideration' to the Nor- thumberland Strait causeway. This has been said so often in varing forms that Islanders can hardly be blamed if they point the well- known Maritime finger in scorn at .‘Upper Canada.‘
“It is not. true that the whole idea of a. causeway gets attention only it election time. But there is like- ‘wise no denying that. it is the time .when it gets most sympathy. How- ever, up until 1962 something in the neighborhood of 3700.000 had been spent on one study or another and in that year another 850,000 was voted and three firms of engineers engaged to work on the plans. It Was expected the plans would take two years. which brings us up to date with Mr. Deschatelets‘ 'very serious consideration'. ”
Not quite up to date. may we sug- gest. The Montreal paper omitted the important announcement of f Prime Minister Diefenbaker in he House ofCommona on April 17. 1902. that all the engineering prob-
which might have blocked the
' umsy scheme had been solved, pd that it was government policy build it It an estimated cost of 108 million. \Sincothcn. despite the
round-feasible both 4 and economic
'were doing "a better job that we
stundpointe. end is definitely in its planning stage.
The Star goes on to any that Prince Edward Island was not, "doe- pite some claims to the contrary.” promised a causeway under its own terms of Confederation in 1873. We have never heard of any such claims being advanced. The promise then, as The Star says, was for the plac- ing of the Island in “continuous. communication" with the rest of the country. It adds, correctly. that "in Charlottetown at least this has been interpreted over the years as mean- ing ‘continuous AND ADEQUATE communlcaiion.‘ which no one would claim the ferries provide."
The Star notes. in conclusion. that latest information indicates the pro- lect to he one which will take six years to complete. and that “with at least as many winters interven- ing. with all the uncertainties of ice and weather. more sharp reminders and interpretations of the pledge of 1873 may be expected in the months ahead."
To which we might add the. hope that such “sharp reminders" will not have to be given too frequently. bearing in mind the manner in which both the major parties at Ottawa are committed to this pro- ject. now that its feasibility has been firmly established.
Food Consumption Report
'l‘hc pattern of Canadian food consumption “will continue to shift in the direction of higher protein food and foods which satisfy an in— creasing demand for variety and convenience." according to the Bank of Montreal Business Review for October. just received.
The bank reviews the changes that have taken place'in food in the past decade and notes that, with new methods of processing and distri- bution. the housewife buys a “packet of built—in services." Many of the
changes in the past decade also re- .
flect the tendency. as living stand- ards rise. to out less food with a high carbohydrate content.
With these changes. plus higher spending on restaurant meals. some rise in food prices would be expect- ed and this has taken place. “The Wonder is. however," says the re- view. “not that. food prices have gone up. but that they have gone up so little." It points out that. on the average since 1.051. food prices have actually risen less than the prices of other consumer goods and ser- vices and substantially less than the rise in income per capita.
For the future. the review pin- points too‘opposing influences at work in the market for food.
Real incomes in the population as a whole are rising and the distribu- tion of income is changing in such a way that there are relatively more families in the higher income brack- ets. These changes indicate a con- tinuing decline in the percentage of total consumer expenditure devoted to food. On the other hand. the population is increasing and the age distribution is shifting in such a way that. there will be. relatively larger numbers of “heavy eaters" (teenagers and young adults) in the years ahead than was the case in the recent past.
Therefore. “total expenditures on food in Canada. which in 1963 reach- ed $6.3 billion. will most certainly rise but. the extent of the rise will depend on the strength of the var- ious influences.”
Bankers are proverbially cau- tions, and the authors of this report are no exception. But there are genuine grounds for optimism in the findings they reach on this sub- ject. particularly with regard to the prospects for food processing and packaging. Our stake in these industries here is becoming larger every year.
EDITORIAL NOTE
Maritime hospitals have I better record in getting and maintaining hospital accreditation than those of Ontario. says President R. Alan Hay of the Ontario Hospital Association. He stated in an interview in Toronto that. while visiting the Maritimec earlier this year. he had been greatly impressed by the number of small hospitals. even in isolated communities which received and re- tained accreditation, and which
are." A fine tribute. which will be welcomed by all concerned in this achievement. ‘

Lesson-Of The Olympics

The Olympics. any Olympics. represent a triumph far greater than the sum of all file vlcforles

uch a triumph. and to the Jap- I

Yet. In spite of attempts to "dc-emphasize" unofficial team standings. the end of any Olym- pics bring on the old question. "Who Won" and the answer “Mankind” hardly suffices. But. "w'io won" frequently depends on what one's unofficial scoring system happens to be. There is mean-
contlnenls prob- ! ing into such flexible figures.
What meaning should we take from Canada‘s performance? Canada was not the weakest country in the team standinqts. More populous nations finished behind her. But less populous ones finished well ahead of her. Canada did more than twice as well as in the last Summer Olympics. Some of our athletes who did not win medals came quite close. Many w‘io did not (1 their

Hydrocorfioono Aids Bursitis
ly Dr. Man II. V» Delic- foll latter was u- celvod from I you» old man: "A couple of months no pllll started in my upper right arm and shoulder. It was moan no- tieublc If night and in the mor- ning. probably because I slept on that side. I do not feel if when working unleu my ll in I certain position- for ex- ample. when I put my hand to the back of my head.
"Pills from the drugglll did not help. rive but and electric My treatments by s physical therapist were of no value. also use a heating pad It home. Some people tell me to use my arm and work out the pain: other- suggest rest. Friends uy hell trellmentl are no a and I should go to a physician for an injection of cortisone. But my therapist says cortisone I! Md for the heart. Thls helps my first experience with aches And palm. I am confused. in any the least." ~
This man has tried everything except consulting the one who should know more about this problem than anyone else—. his physician. I suspect bursitis (tendonlilsl from the story. be- cause pain is localized and aggravated by abducting or ro- lating the shoulder (as occurs when putting the hand to line back of the head or into a rear pocket.) The shoulder should be examined and x-ray‘s may be needed to make the diagnosis.
Bursitis treatment usually is successful. Dramatic results often are obtained with hydro cortisone; one or more injec- tions may be needed. depend- ing upon the extent of the dam- age. Procaine can be added to make the procedure painless. The hormone does not hurt in“: heart. nor do complications arise from injection into the in- volved bursa.
Heat from an electric pad. diathermy. or ultrasound also helps ease distress. Now and then phenybutazone is useful. The arm should be manipulated

frequently in a full range of mo. -
lions to prevent stiffness.

No. There is a relationship be- tween dlabeles and tuberculosis and gall bladder disease but most of the complications Occur ln the cardiovascular s y s t e in (heart and blood vessels). Gout. too. has cardiovascular aspects and there is an association be-

‘- Recalls Canadian Curbs
3 Hold Cln inn Prue
lrluln'a new import curbs have mud a storm in pm: 0| n with tile rowlt tint the Wilson Idmlnlutrullon now mun. defend Action much the name my Canada defended its import curbs during the 1902 currency exchange crisis.
The allegation agutnnt Brit- Mn. as expressed by Foreign Minister Trygve Lie of Norway. and echtled in other European quarters. is that a specific tax on imports. instead of using lm- port quotas. is a violation of in- ternntlonal t r a' d e obligations since the higher speclflc duty tends to nullify existing tariff contracts.
Reducing imports through quotas. howaver. tends to be .. slow and complicated process compared with the swiflneus of an immediate higher duty. And a higher tax gives a govern- menl. the prospect of added rev- enue. whereas a Quota on VOI- ume of imports yields a gov- ernment nothing.
CAN CITE CANADA
‘ it is not likely. therefore. Britain would yield under pres- sure from the General Agree- ment on Tariffs and Trade to revise the method of slowing imports. And while the GATT membership may crillclze and condemn the lS-per-cenl import duty. there is always the argu- ment. as one London newspa- per obaerved. that Britain can point to the 1962 Canadian pre- cedent. Canada at that time erected extra duties ranging from five to is per cent.
Mon-icon stuff Writer
Amid the heal of debate and criticism. there also in the pro:- poct that Britain may use the temporary. tariff well n a means of pro v i d l n 3 special Call with certaln Eurooeul partners with the result thlt lhe split will which between the six-
cou . roman Common Market and the seven-country European Free Trade Associa- tion of whlch Britain is a mem- be

To offset the criticism of the lS-per-cent duty among EFTA partners. Britain is reported ready to Accelerate tariff-cut- ling within this trade bloc. About 00 per cent of the tariff: already have. been cut with the remaining 40 per cent to be stripped by 1966. The next 10- per-cent cut is due in January and Britain may unilaterain agree to make a bigger cut.
ECONOMIC NONBENSE
In Paris. Frank Figgures. sec- retary - general of the Trade Area. described the split of the two trade blues as "eco- nomic nonsense." The blgcer the trade area. the easier it would be to produce economic- ally and keep prices down.
But French President do Gaulle has been strongly op- posed to Britain's entry into the European Common Market and during the last election cam- paign Prime Minister Harold Wilson virtually turned his buck on any further negotiations to enter this European commu- nlty.

A national magazine printed the results of a- poll of Canad- lnns which showed that 2.1 per

We always had du‘blety as to the authenticity of public polll and we are convin- ced that this particular one is way off base.
If we are wrong. our suggest- ion lc that some one politic at party should include in its plat- form . plank that Canada should seek amllga’mullon with our big southern nelgh bar. The issue then could definitely be decided.
We have our problems in this country but none is of such alar» ming proportion as to frighten our people. In our history of less than one hundred years Cana- dllns have achieved greatly. far beyond the expectations of 1867.
Canada is only at the beginn- ing of her ultimate destiny and it is only a handful of puslllanl- mous people who would now work to throw over our in~ dependence and join with th U S A
