JULY 6. 1964. a... Brief Interlude 3 At last there is a prospect of get- fing some work'done in Parliament before the gladiators resume their g'ogy combat over the flag issue. The Wtators were getting pretty tired- (if the performance anyway. Prime Minister Pearson has conceded that a' brief interlude is desirable in Which to deal with urgent legisla- ‘don. He has listed six items of public liusiness in this catagory, in order of priorities. After which the “big debate" is to be resumed. with no prospect of a summer recess until it is concluded. Strangely. the schedule of busi— ness to be brought before the House (luring this welcome surcease from flag-wrangling doesn’t include the bill on which the Government has Harped, many times. as being the most important of all. The Canada Pension Plan will presumably not be brought up this month, nor could Mr. Pearson be pinned down as to when it will make its appearance on the order paper. Welcome, however, is the intima- tion that fiscal arrangements with the provinces will be taken up at this time, also the bills setting up a 12- mile territorial limit and fishing zone, and providing loans for needy university students. It. is particular- ly important that this latter measure be passed without delay. as the stu- dents to whom it. applies must, know August 1 whether money is to be available. to them. If there is un- certainty, they will be unable to plan for the coming school term. It is said tI at as many as 30 percent of college students from lower Income groups take in need of this assistance. and the sooner it is assured to them the better. :. A Boon To Canada " At a time of growing world de- mand, it is encouraging to note that there are more new lead-zinc devel- opments going on in Canada today than anywhere else in the World. The nadian production goes chiefly to (Ipmestic, British, European, Indian, .. ._..—< .4 and Japanese buyers and the pros- .1 p'ects for the next few years are bright. This is a happy change for ah industry which has been hamper— ed by excess capacity for a decade. ' Half-a-dozen new mines are go- oyer a three-year period. One of the most. significant is the mine near Bathurst, along the north coast of New Brunswick, on which operation was begun last March. It is now turn- ing out ore of 15 per cent combined lead and zinc content, and promises give an economic filiup to the whole Atlantic region. ’I The new discovery at Timmins. Ontario—already a major mining flown—sent the stock markets into furries which have not yet fully subsided. The plans there include the building of a mill to treat 6,000 time of ore daily, or 2,000.000 tone a year. This will cost $25,990.000 with the plant to be completed late in 1965. The most unusual of the new cop is the Pine Point development It Great. Slave Lake in the North- est Territories. Subject to a Royal tile railway must be pushed through tom the raihead in northern Ai- , making this the first steel enter the. Territories. Hitherto. hneport. has been by aircraft. or Irge down the rivers. and by tractor lain in the winter. Only lately has new highway also been built into heat Slave Lake The railway is being built by the sderal government at a coat of $75.- .000. or about $175,000 a mile. a c ‘ f m If I 1 4 I I I I \ . The ore outcropping-s were first noticed by Klondike gold rushers moving north by this island route in 1898. Only with the market ex- pansion of the current decade has the mine and smelter development cost of $80,000,000 been justified. Awkward Situation The theme of the 1967 Montreal World’s Fair is “Man and his World"; but the Globe and Mail sug- gests that it might be more ac- curat'e to refer to that part of his world with which Canada maintains diplomatic relations. Under the rules of the International World Fair Organization, invitations to countries to participate have to be extended through diplomatic channels. Can- ada does not recognize the Pe— king Government officially, so no in- vitation could be sent to it and thus one of Canada’s best customers—— China—is being excluded. Canada has been selling Peking huge quantities of wheat in recent times and China has shown every sign of becoming a regular and sub- stantial customer. Th e Canadian Government's part of the bargain was a promise of broader credit terms and the provision of easier ac- cess into Canada for Chinese goods. . The Chinese promised to control the flow of goods that would adversely affect Canadian manufacturers. A Chinese exhibit at Montreal would be in keeping with Canada’s pledge of easier access and would have been a prime opportunity for China to show Canada and the world what she could do. But the rules of world fairs have presented Canada with an exasperating and incongru- ous situation in this regard. Even if Ottawa's policies should change suf- ficiently by 1967 to provide Fair of- ficials with the necessary diplo- matic channels, it would be un- reasonable to issue an 11th hour in- vitation to a country comprising a quarter of the world's people, and expect it to be accepted. Speaking OI Taxes Canadian governments are sup- posed to display unrivaled ingenu- ity in the forms and variety of their tax assessments, and to be milking us for all they are worth. What Ot- tawa misses the provincial treasuro ers grab in the way of sales taxes, liuqunr taxes. and what-not; and if . anything slips through their hands it is claimed by the municipal author- ities. That's what we‘ve been led to believe, mistakenly it now seems. Our tax men themselves take a modest pride in doing as thorough a job on us as their counterparts i have. done in any country, ancient or ommission route inquiry. a 885-” iilg into production across Canada ', modern. It will be a shock to them to learn that they have only scratch- ed the surface, if credence is to be given to a news item we came ac- ross the other day. The item is about a tax levied in a place called Dolcedo, in Italy. For 500 years any outsider who mar- ried a girl from Dolcedo has had to pay a tax—a “spaudo,” the local people call it. For years the tax was five Genoese ducats. But in late years the tax has been illegal under Italian law, so local officials have reduced it to a single lira and made it “voluntary.” Only one man has refused to pay —a Tuscan whom the community penalized by pounding kettle drums outside his room all night to prevent him from sleeping. The “spaudo” is really a double tax, for in addition to the sum paid to the community the suitor is ex- pecfed to hand over money to the town’s bachelors so they can ease their sorrow at losing a local beauty with drink and food. That’s the story; and it just goes to show that like sin, taxes are ubiquitous. and can assume as many forms as old Satan himself. EDITORIAL NOTES A coast-to-coast survey has given a breakdown of just how much the federal and provincial governments rake in from the sale of spirits. It is estimated that this year $223,000,- 000, about seven per cent of the na- tional revenue, will come from liquor sales. 0 t t It is disappointing to note that the number of Boy Scouts across Canada fell from 102,000 to 99,000 last year. Wolf Clubs, the kindergarten of the movement, increased 2,700 to 174,- 000 and all Scout diviaions in eg- gregate rose by a few hundreds to 282,000.

That was the voice of John Fisher — “Mr. Canada" -— the CBC's star broadcaster and Canada's prize booster. Yesterday I sat and listened to that voice once more charti- ing the praises and the oossibil. ities of Canada. Not through a radio this time. but face-fo-face prompted by my questions and answering my own curiosity just for my hearing. John Fisher is in charge of Canada's largest-ever birthday party, and he was telling me about his plans for it. What a break it was for the field of communication of ideas when it wooed the newly- qualified John Fisher await from his chosen legal career More than a quartercenturv ago that was. when the boy from Sackvillc, New Brunswicx — the province which produces great men ~ moved first. to a newspaper in Halifax. then is- ier to the CBC all ovcr Canada BUBBLING ENTHUSIASM Many years later he appro priately became director of the Canadian Travel Association. then he was recruited as speech-writer for Mr. Diefenua her when he was prime minis- fer.

Or, in simple words, as the man who is planning Ca" ada's 100th Birthday celebra- tions. Listen to what he is telling Canadians: "What a land thls is! Only a handful of people own the land of Canada, and these 19 million are the most fortunate people in human his~ tory. No people of our numbers have 9 ve r owned such wealth enjoyed more freedom, or tat. ed a happier future. This is the country whose 100th birthday we will celebrate in less than three years.

The image of the all-wise ru- ler who knows every facit of the government, who in this age of technological specializa- tion can one day descend to the earthy problems of pig-farm- ing and cattle-growing, and ma- cuss highly complex chemlcm factories and pipelines the following day, has a warm ay- peal to the populace everywhere.

In the Western world President Johnson can hardly escape the White Hottee desk for a feat - very fast— drive to Mt. Vet non, but in Russia they, man- age these things better. Here Mr. Khrushchev can saf- ely leave the confines of the Kremlin for an extended tom of Egypt during the season of the hot desert winds — no mt- lord, guided by one of Mr. Thom- as Cook's dragomana would have been seen dead in Egypt in May — and advise his Egyptian hosts on high data, irrigation. subtropical farming, few asides on how to manage Arab nationalism.

The cause was traced to May flies and more specifi- cally to the thin, friable pallicle discarded during the moultlng season. Deaenaltlztng injection of an extract of dried whole May flies solved the problem. More serious allergic reac- tiona appear in those who are sensitive to the sting of a bee, wasp, hornet, or ant. Many deaths have been recorded. Desenaltlzation is most help- ful but anyone with this allergy ought to carry along ephedrine aerosol and Isuprel gloeaeta for emergency treatment. M a n y physicians also recommend a first aid kit containing all of the instruments and medicines needed to combat the ill ef- fects of insect stings. Bloodsucking insects as deer ies, mosquitoe, bedbuga, and mldges also create large red weals that burn and itch. These are allergic reactins that occur when the insect in- jects saliva while probing for blood. Olnfmenfs containing an antihistamine or a corticoster- oid will give promp relief.
