They appear to be woe- fully confused as to the distinction between their responsibilities and those of the opposition. By insisting, as Mr. Cardin argued repeatedly, that: if what he did in this case was “blackmail’) it was also blackmail When the Tories attacked him in the Spencer case, is-to bring the w hole matter into confusion. The opposition is in its proper role as «Critic, inquisitor, or attacker of the administration in power. It dis- charged that role at Ottawa by bring- ing the malodorous Rivard affair to 4 Showdown, and by forcing the gov- ernment to change its policy in the Spencer case. It could not have achieved the results it did without raising blisters on the government’s epidermis, and stirring the country to react in such a way that the party in power had to. yield ground. The government, which combines tes ~ legislative and executive powers, is in a quite different, position. It must fight for its programs but it cannot tse the same tactics as the opposition without incurring public odium. It is hampered, for one thing, by the principle, of cabinet: solidarity. When a cabinet minister speaks as_ Mr. Cardin did—in—accusing- Mr- Diefen- baker of mishandling the Munsinger affair, and charging two or more of his associates, with wrongdoing in- volving national security, he speaks for his department-and forthe gov-— ernment. He may have meant to “speak only for himself, but he has ’ tragically, no business to hold the office he does Tf he takes” this “frivolous view" “ory his responsibilities. It was not just Mr. Cardin, MP, but Canada’s Minister of Justice who -charged—without, as he confesses, even having seen the police file on the matter—that this case was ‘“‘worse than the Profuma scandal” that rock- ed England not so long ago. It was because he is Minister of Justice that his statement made _ head- lines across the country, and in the United States and overseas as well. As a Toronto.commentator points out in-this-connection, he spoke not only... for the government of Canada, but for the law officers “of: the Crown and, to some extent, for the judicary. That is why it has been predicted by such responsibile men as NDP Leader Douglas that whatever _happens from now on, Mr. Cardin should resjgn. But it also - reflects, on the incompetence of his leader in permitting, and even ap- _plauding. such insultsto eee voech “ary conduct. ~ Using Pension Fund Ontario municipalities may be able to pare school building costs over the néxt.10 vears, thanks ‘to, “taxpayers currently building up sur- plus funds in the Canada Pension Plan.» Two months of contributions into the pension scheme have created a $35 milljon “pool” into which all provinges but Quebec will be able to dip for investment purposes. Ontario's | share will be over $20 million. Over thefirst-10--vears-of the-plan. when-. contributions. will far exceed ouf- going. pension payments, the. prov- _ince’s share of the natural fund will | average about-$267 million. , The Ontario government — has decided to invest its allocation from the pool for education. the money. being used to facilitate local horrow- ing for school purposes. The govern-_ ment. has, announced it intends to establish a special crown corporation, the Ontario Education Capital , Aid Corporation: sto handle the. massive * faves tment program: The new agency: % | will function virtually on the same basis as the existing Ontario Univer- sities Capital Aid Corporation. Debentures issued by municipal- ities.and school boards for school con- struction, it és explained, will thus be taken up by the corporation which will be accountable ‘to the provincial government for management of the indebtedness. The cost to the prov- ince of borrowing from the pension fund being 5.29, it is presumed the cast to the municipalities will be a. shade higher, reflecting provincial administrative expenses. We cite this as a good example of how the surplus funds in the Pension Plan can be put to use by a provincial government. It will give to Ontario taxpayers and- municipal- itis a measure of temporary relief from Aburgeoning education costs. Cannot‘a similar plan. be. worked out in this province, though on a more modest scale? Even in a scheme of this kind, however,.an Ontario exchange notes that there is danger that availability of lower-cost funds might encourage building _ programs that otherwise might be restrained. The onus. will be upon the corporation to scrutin- ize building programs and protect the investment, because: the funds sooner or, later must return to those pensioners. * Merited Award Press freedom has had’ an uneasy time in recent years in Africa. The sensitivity of young African nations banished and newspapers being seiz- ed. Regimes bent on authoritarian rule know that the_press must first be silenced if other freedoms are’ to - be:.curtailed:--The~ misguided tan— Smith of Rhodesia will not. submit his - “independent” nation to the Scrutiny of a free press. The harsh racist policies’ of the South African government have re- sulted in stern repressive measures against press freedom in that country. But still the voices of dissent survive, and one in particular has achieved world renown. This is the Rand Dajly Mai] of Johannesburg, which has received the 1966 World Press- Achievement Award 1 Foundation of the American News- paper Publishers — Association. making the award the foundation cites that newspaper's outstanding public service in pressing for freedom of expression and social justice for all citizens, regardless of color. The paper;consistently exposes un- favorable conditions existing in hous- ing-and s ‘past seven years it has presented shocking evidence of brutality -in South African jails. Following the one of the newspaper’s informants was sentenced to two. years in jail for allegedly lying about prison condi- tions. The Daily Mail's offices were raided by the police ‘and. passports were seized from editor Lawrence Gandar and the reporter who. wrote the prison story. "The Daily Mail-has never given in | to such’ intimidation. Neither has it — allowed its news judgment to be af- | fected. The paper has maintained balanced coverage of South African affairs in its news columns and has ' continued “to. praise government ac- tions where it-has believed praise is ' called for. This is an _ inspiring achievement indeed, and one that. stands as an example.to the press of the whole troubled continent.

HOSPITAL COSTS SOAR Referring to the ‘‘acute short- age of hospital beds’, Dr. Ry- nard blamed the federal and provincial governments. ‘In March 1958, the Conservative ‘government doubled the grant to $2,000 per bed, and “‘so far a I know that figure remains the _Needed Before Nation-Wide Medicare same eight years later, although costs have gone up over 30 per cent and there has been the im- position of the 11 per cent sales tax in the meantime.” Later he corrected this to a | grant of. $2,700 per bed, said that the Ontario Govern- ment pays $5,300 per bed= But to build a new hospital today costs up to $30,000 per bed; this lea- ves an impossible burden on | the municipal governments, which must meet the balance of | up to $22,000 per bed. Dr. Rynard was not knocking the Government's plans: he was merely pointing out that the prior neéd is to train more doc- ‘tors and build more hospitals. Then, and not before, would be the time to help all Canadians | why to afford the facilities which to- day are simply not available.

Van Dellen Women are more likely than men to develop iron deficiency anemia for several reasons. The amount of iron lost during men- struation is approximately the same as that absorbed from | food, assuming that she is on a reasonable diet. This balance is easily upset when the diet is fron deficient or menstruation is profuse: This explains why a wo- man throughout her menstrual life; requires two to four times as much iron as does a man. aie sak teria ae must provide con: ble iron for her baby. It oar nen extra amounts in the food even though menstruation has stop-_ ped. Meanwhile there is always ‘a possibility of bleeding from. ‘other sources or that nausea and vomiting will lessen the die tary intake. It is important for pregnant women to eat foods rich ir this element because the iron pass- | ed_on to the baby. must last the tyke until solid foods are start- ed. Both human and cow's milk are low in iron content and bab- jies develop anemia after six | months if they subsist on bottle or breast Anemia will develop | sooner if the mother’s dietary | iron was deficient during preg- nancy. The baby stores most of its iron during the last few mon- ths and many premies are ane- mic because they were born be- fore they obtained their full al- lotment. When too little iron is consum- | ed, the body takes what it needs from its storage deposits. When amount in the blood (hemoglob- in) begins to fall. In other | words, the blood count and he- ‘| moglobin do not drop until the reserves are exhausted. Any iron preparation given in adequate doses will correct this type of anemia. Exceptions. oc- cur when it is not possible to correct the eause. The normal person absorbs from five to 10 per cent of iron from food or tablet, but the anemic person may absorb as much as 4 per , cent. we NERVOUS RASH Mrs. F.F. writes: My doctor | says the rash on my arm is | caused by hostility or frustra- 'tion.

Its inde- |pendence structure was forged from elements ranging from feudalism to socialism.

However, it now appears this was simply a trojan-horse stunt by which the opposition forces sought to capture Obote’s Uganda People’s Congress. FACES EARLY PROBLEMS Probably it is well that Uganda is facing up early to problems arising from its com- plicated structure, a three-tier federal system with a socialist premier and four. kings, one of whom was also president, until fired by Obote. The country, with a of 7,000,000, has vbee! parative oagis of ° spite its tribal divisions— and. has- since 1960 taken ia 150,000 refugees from The and Rwandi in the west and south and the Sudan im the north. Yet Obote’s assumption of one-man rule follows a year of dissension and tension. Seeds of the trouble were sown before in- dependence when the kingdom of Buganda virtually smashed po- litical parties operating within the kingdom, thereby -prevent- ing the most developed region in the country from taking over na- tionalist leadership. It appears that the most sig- pulation a com- nificant outcome is the break : between Obote and Kabake (king) Mutesa II of Buganda, former president, known as King Freddie in England where he was educated. -The kabaka headed a party in opposition te the premier.
