An Expenswe Luxury

According to a Canadian Press story from Ottawa, a new concert- ed attempt to organize the business of the Commons will be made by the Giwernment when the parlia- mentary session resumes. The ob- ject will be to have the House de- vote more of its time to concrete legislative action and less to ram- bling and inconclusive debates.

Opposition groups have blamed the Government for this. claiming it has been disorganized in its scheduling of Commons business. But the decision is not the Govern- ment’s alone. The daily agenda is drawn up in consultation with op- position whips and House leaders. and they are rarely in unanimous agreement.

According to the CP story. in the last two weeks before Christ- mas Mr. Churchill, as Government House leader. did draw up a. writ- ten program for the House and submitted it, to the Liberal, Social Credit and New Democratic Party leaders and whips. On virtually every point there was some dis— agreement.

Conflicting suggestions have been made for rule changes. The Government wishes to extend the hours—now 25H; in the Monday-to- Friday sittings each week, and also to" put a one-hour time limit on the daily question period. and to re- duce private members' hours, in or- der to provide more time for gov- ernment legislation. 0 p posit ion groups in the past have complained about any extension of sitting hours. on account of the extra du- fies involved in their correspoan- ence. in attending committee meet- ings, in doing speech research chores and other business.

Wherever the fault lies. this session has been more gabby than productive. and the public will ex- pect more action when it resumes on Jan. 21. So far. out of 60 work- ing days only 27 were spent on government - sponsored legislation. A record that will compare favor- ably with very few sessions since 1. Confederation. '

A Bad Precedent

Prime Minister Diefenbaker has found it necessary to refer again to the misinterpretation of Can- ada's attitude during the Cuban crisis, and to emphasize the terms of the NORAD agreement under which both countries are joined in the air defense of North America. We may be sure that the Prime Minister would not. have brought this matter up during the Yuletide holidays if he could have avoided it. He made his statement in a speech last Friday at Nassau, just after his private meeting with President Kennedy and Prime Min- ister Harold Macmillan, and it is not unlikely that something occur- red at this meeting which influenced his decision to reopen the subject.

It has been said that the U.S. squadrons assigned to NORAD were ordered to a higher state of combat readiness within minutes of Pre’cident Kennedy’s statement on Oct. 22 that he was quarantining out». It was not until Oct. 25 that

criticism. in it not: in

The fact is, of course. that the l'nited States failed to consult Canada before acting against Cuba. A special messenger was dispatch- ed from Washington to Ottawa to warn that the President was about 'to make a critical statement on ('uba; but Ihcrc. was no time even in call a Cabinet meeting before Mr. Kennedy had made his state- mom. nor were there any intel- ligence reports giving the slightest indication to Ottawa that Russia was preparing a strike against Noth America. .

Ottawa authorities now main- tain that despite published reports to the contrary. the military arm of the North Atlantic alliance was not placed on alert during the crisis. Certainly the “plans and procedures" agreed upon in the NORAD pact were not followed by the US. in the crisis. Canada's re- sponse in the. circumstances was all that could be expected, and indeed more than Washington had a right to expect.

This is past history now, but unfortunately it is also something that may set a precedent for the future. Mr. Diefenbaker’s concern about it is understandable. He has a right to regard any failure in the NORAD arrangements as a serious matter, and to insist that it is time to correct the confusion arising out of the Cuban incident. In effect, he has pointed out that Canada has rights to be respected in any action that might involve us in war. and that it is only where immediate defense against air at- tack is involved—an attack that might develop, literally, within minutes—that consultation and co- operation should be. dispensed with.

“A Good Litell

‘ Under the above heading the Winnipeg Free Press pays tribute to Canada's veteran parliamentar- ian. Senator C. G. Power. The phrase is one which Senator Power himself used in describing his 45 years in Parliament, and certainly there are few men in public life who have played the game with such zest, with such success, and with such honesty and integrity.

A member of the Commons con- tinuously from 1917 to 1955, when he was appointed to the upper chamber, Senator Power’s political life was not. always easy. It could not be for a man of his independ- ence of mind. “This characteristic,” says our Winnipeg contemporary, "probably has made for him as many political enemies as it has friends; but nothing has: ever stop- ped him from saying straight out what he believer.” I

Because of this. Chubby Power's contribution to his party, to Par- liament, and to the nation has been distinguished and unique. His great- est achievement was his role in the setting up of the Common- wealth air t.raining program, which played such a tremendous part in the winning of the Second World War. Yet later in the war Senator Power, because of his convictions, tossed away a career of 30 years and resigned from the King cabinet.

In 1948 he sought the leadership of the Liberal party; not, says the Free Press, with the idea that he might win it. but simply to permit him to make a valedictory speech in which he warned against the negligence of the government, the dilution of liberalism in the party, and the decline of Parliament. Since then he has made other speeches that. have marked him as "the philosopher and conscience of the

Liberal party.”

EDITORIAL NOTES

The U.S. Secretary General, Mr. Thant, is hopeful, despite previous disappointments, that the problem of nuclear tests will be given “urg- ent attention" by the disarmament negotiators at Geneva and that "be- fore long they will agree to take this first and most crucial step to- ward c disarmed world." A hope Which we all share as the best thing the year 19:33 can have in store.

WEST KENT SCHOOL AND CABOT BUILDING Sir. — The headng of the

writeup of .West Kcnt School in your issue of the. 22nd Decem- hcr is slightly incorrect. as it is , inferred it is the first school of I

that. name in the City. it was . ercctcd in 1878. At a meeting of the City ‘

School Board held on the 15th October. 1877 two rooms on se cond floor of a building owned by Mr. Peter H. Trainor were rented for school purposes and named West Kcnl School. This building stood on the south side of Kent Strcct (in rear) just east of Queen slrect. The class rooms were reached by outside steps. and Mr. Trainor used the lower floor as a paint shop.

As it is stated the demolition of the old Post Office building is to begin next week I suggest. 3

that care be taken to preserve l Jnh" Hamilton

the fine coat. of arms over the north entrance to the building. ‘ 'n

This fine piecc of work is l ‘

splendid-condition. and if taken ti

down carefully and placed near ‘ the entrance to historic Govern- l mcnt House or the now Provin- 3 cial Govcrnmcnt office building it would prove in more ways than one 3 worth whilc under- taking. .

There is a lot of decorated1 stone high up on the building which should he very suitable for above ground portion of the foundation, if as suggested, the oat of Arms is given a new site. This fine old Post Office building was I believe completed in 1887. and replaced a very sl- mllar building destroyed by fire in 1884.

IN APPRECIATION

Sir,—— May we again use the columns of your newspaper to express our deep gratitude to the people of Prince Edward Island for the kindness an d generosity shown in their splendid response to the Canad- ian Mental Health Association‘s White Cross Chrlstmas G if! programme. conducted for the benefit of patients at Riverside Hosplt 1.

We are sure that this response is an indication of real interest by those "outside" in those who are mentally ill and confined to hospital. At the same time we believe it also reflects a grow- ing concern for the serious and widespread problem of mental illness generally.

e wou also acknowledge the great help given to us by the Kiwanis Club whose members came with their cars on the eve;

.nlng of December 27th on

e 75 patients for a drive through Charlottet o w n and the surrounding - area so "that they. too. might see th e bright lights and colourful deco- rations which have become so much a purl of the Christin a c Season. It was a beautiful eve- ning. and the outlng was enjoy-

, ed to the full.

Our very pincer-e thanks go in all who havecontributed in any way to CMHA': special Chrilt- mu projects. We hope iii If their own Christmas joy was the greater because of- being shared with those less fortunate than themselves. and we are sure that those whose Christina Death was brighter because of the kindness of so many of their fellow effluent Would with us to include their thanks with curl.

I am Sir, etc.

ed the government. John Ham- ilton’s abilities won recognition with his appointment as Parli- mentary Assistant to a Cabinet Minister. He was among the outstanding M.Ps on the govern- ment side who were not includ- ed in the cabinet — in his case possibly crowded out of the ca- binet solely by reason of the seniority of certain other M.Ps from Toronto, such as ex-party president Jim Macdonncll. ex- party president George Hec-s. and Donald Fleming.

RACE NOT TO SWIFT

The quick mind, the warm personality and the convincing oratory of this back-bencher marked him as a certainty for stellar role in some future ca- binet. Then the 1962 tidal wave hit him. His opponent wearing the Liberal colours was a pro- fessional hockey player whom even the iberal-favouring press did not rate too highly. one ma- gazine even printing an editor- ial suggesting that the electors of York West should not send such an unqualified representa- tive to Ottawa. But the Con- servatives' oversight in never appointing an Ontario catholic to the cabinet seemed to catch up with many Conservative can- didates: at least John Hamilton got llttle catholic support, and York lll‘l‘eg’t got a hockey player

Kidney Stones Are Painful ‘

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellcn

KIDNEY stones can be sum- med up as follows: They are painful. often require surgery. and a new crop may develop if the original cause is not cor- rected. Some persons are stone formers and others are not. We do not know why.

Stone forming salts are pre- sent ln greater concentrations in their urine but nothing happens so long as these salts remain in solution and do not crystallize. In normal individ- uals. there is said to be a protective colloid substance in the urine that keeps the chemi- cals in a dissolved state; this is lacking in some stone formers but not others. At any rate se- veral crystals clump or. are cemented together and the stone is in the making. In many in- stances. infection co-exists and bacteria act as the nucleus or center of the stone.

Acidity or alkalinity of the urine plays a role because some chemicals remain dissolved in an acid urine but not in alkaline urine. Vice versa also is true. Diet enters the picture because the chemicals in the urine come from food originally. Citrus fruits make the urine alkaline and is a precipitating factor in some stone formers. Ulcer vic- tims may develop stones when they remain on an alkaline regi- men for a long time.

The gouty individual is a po- tential stone former. He has too much uric acid in the blood, and when certain drugs are used in treatment, the kidneys filter out excessive amounts of this s u b- stance into the urine. Uric acid remains in solution so long as the victim drinks large amounts

made of uric acid lurate) c ry- stals are more likely to occur when the individual fails to

1: too much alcohol.

Small stones pass through the renal system but the larger rocks are lik e l y to get stick. Special procedures are used to entice them out or to remove them surgically. The secret is to have the stone analysed and take the necessary precautions to prevent recurrences. This means a low calcium and phos- phorus diet for some and a min- imum of 12 glasses of fluids for others. Still others need drugs. including those that make the urine alkaline or acid as the need might be. Urologists are working on a solvent them- lacldrin) which we will hear more about in the future.

Urban Develooment

Federation of Mayor- aud Municipalities

Some of the reasoning in support of the proporuls of the Canadian Federation of Mayor: and Municipalities to the federal government in relation to ur- ban development was summar- ized as follows: ,

1. That facilities for water supply and urban transport fa- cilities. as well as trunk sew- ers, ure'baslc physical factors in community development;

2. That the economic and social well - being of the na- tion is dependent to a great ex-

tent upon the orderly. effi- cient and economical develop- ment of such facilities:

3. That cooperation of gov-

ernments in financing such basic factors provider I framework in which local and regional planning for other types of development — public and private, housing, industrial and commercial — may go for- ward with more rapidity a n d efficiency;

THE URBAN SPRAWL 4. That unregulated u rb a n

rural and urban taxpayers alike: that, as amply demon- strated at the Fedora ' Resources for Tomor.

production is a matter of grave concern to Canadians. even apart from the immediate and' critical financial burdens which waste of land and resources places upon the rural and ur- ban municipalities involved: and that, related to these resources problems is the urgent need to conserve parklands and open space for rapidly - increasing recreation needs:

. That. while local govern- ments should be relied upon to initiate the plannlug of public works — and, n the main. for

paying for basic works which are primarily self - liquidating— federal and'ppovlncial co-oper-

tn financing and to lighten the costs of crowing for the mu- nicipalities; that, in other words, the three levcll of gov- ernment should cooperate in their approach to capital invest- ment instead of competing as they now do on programs for which they have a common re- sponsibility.

A SINGLE PROBLEM

In stating the case for the more comprehensive approach to urban renewal. the federation has declared:

"t has become evident that the distinction between housing and other related and essential elements in renewal stands in the way of effective planning and action. The present legislation falls to recognize that all forms of urban decay must be consid- ered as a single problem. More- over, it militate: against the town commercial renewal. road coordination between down- town commercial renewal. road and transit programs which, to.

0 forward economically a I!!! efficiently. must go forward to- gclher."

The proposed increase in grant assistance for planning would be consistent with the proposals for a more compre- hensive approach to basic ur- ban programs for housing, trans-

ort. sewerage. water and other factors in urban develop- ment.
