There has been need for some time for whatever silencing can be given to discouraging rumors, if that is what they are, and to widespread talk about unresolved problems and setbacks. Credence has been given them by the fact that developments at Georgetown are not nearly so far advanced as was expected in the light of original rosy announce- ments. But Industry Minister Rossiter now says that directors and invest- ors of at least three companies in- volved in plans for the major fish processing plant planned there are to meet this week with government officials to “iron out a number of .problems", so it can be hoped a full “go ahead" will follow soon. This matter is one that ties in closely with all the talk that has been heard lately about the heavy burden being carried by this prov- ince in the form of debt charges. The seriousness of that burden is not to be measured solely by its size. A debt which would be al- most insupportable in bad times can be made almost unnoticeable— entirely easy to carry—when the ‘ economy is expanding satisfactorily, or when the debt. has been contract- ed to pay for a project which proves self-liquidating. This province will not, worry long over the cost of bringing industrial and other expansion, or over the debt burden thus created. if they are followed by a satisfactory strengthening of the economy; prove worth what they cost. It is with this thought in mind that the Island will await word as to what can be expected next at Georgetown. MP's Set The Pace The "beef" presented in The Guardian‘s Ottawa Report column yesterday by Dr. Guy Marcoux, the Social Credit MP for Quebec-Mont- morency, about the activities and inactivities of members of the par- liamentary press gallery was not only overdone but lacked the sea- soning that more careful research would have given it. ' For instance. he implied that correspondents lend their presence to the House for the opening quar- ter hour of the afternoon sitting during the question period, scurry to their typewriters to report what- ‘ever tidbits they have thus gather- ed. and then take the rest of the ',day off. except for the few who lmlght wander back into the gallery above the Speaker’s chair. or those ‘ fwho write their accounts of parlia- fgmentary proceedings from the un- proofs of the official Han- - reporters. ' NO SINECURE—If such was ' the actual state of affairs. life in the national press gallery would be a ainecure: something like a seat the senate. However, in truth. e MP’a themselves actually set " flee for the working hours of preset-lien. As a matter of ?M.gnilery‘people not only but far longer than Home is in session. “ ‘_ lat have quite some o _ Iished every week day morning (except Sun. Y . and statutory holidays) at I65 Prince Street. : 5" by Thomson Newspapers Ltd. ‘ i i l i l i i l are delegations calling on the min- isters to be reported, as well as press conferences called by either the government or the opposition lead- ers. There are gallerymen hovering around the doors of the party caucus rooms. As the sessions move into morn- ing sitting of the House, the fore- noon agenda of the gallery becomes that much more complicated. and all this grist of morning material has to be written and sent off by telephone or telegraph to press ser- vices and newspaper offices. Lucky to get even a sandwich lunch at the typewriter, the gallery people then hurry to the afternoon question period. This occasion is impo rt 3 n t not because of the questions asked. as Dr. Marconx suggests, but be- cause this is the juncture at which the prime minister. members of his . cabinet. or even opposition leaders, often make important announce- ments of developments or policy or on the plans for conducting the House’s business. The House and its committees also often sit through the evening and far into the night. and the gallery people have to be on hand to report what is said and done. When the long day is done and the members trudge off to their hotels or apartments. the equally weary members of the gallery have to reach for their typewriters again to catch their newspaper deadlines. Throughout their busy day, there are also questions by letter. wire or telephone from home offices. to be answered by seeking out. cabinet ministers. various department of- ficials in the government or private members. Many of the correspond- ents also have to find the time to write political columns. IT WOULDN’T WORK—What Dr. Marcoux seems to favor would require gallery members to file in to their seats at the opening of a sitting of the House and remain until the House rises. a procedure which would deprive the gallery people of any time to write their news until late that night. which would oblige many a newspaper to go to press daily without any ac- count of House proceedings of that same day. This would reduce Dr. Marcoux and other MPs to making speeches just to hear the sound of their own voices. The press gallery as it func— tions now, even with its human im- perfections. performs a far more valuable service to the public. and even to Dr. Marcoux and its other critics. than could be possible through the type of parliamentary reporting for which he has express- ed an implied preference. Best Yet It is no faint. praise to say that the city‘s centennial float, as seen for the first time in Sunday‘s Natal Day parade, is to be ranked as the “best yet". Previous floats have been so excellent. that improving on them represents an impressive feat. But' it has been done. with a de- tailed scale model of the Fathers of Confederation Memorial C e n t r e, placed in proper relationship with the model of the Pr0vincial Building which was featured in an e a r l i e r float. I Credit for this achievement goes to Hawley Crockett, Benny Doiron and other city Workmen. They have created a float which will represent this city and province admirably wherever it is put on display. EDITORIAL NOTES Here is the latest item pertaining to Beatlemania: The headmaster of a high school in England has told that he tried to shame three ex- cessively long-haired boy pupils by tying up their locks with ribbons. It didn’t shame them in the least. They accepted it as a brilliant idea in styling. and now tie it up them- selves with a bow on the top. . Although Canada had an $11 million surplus on tourism last year, the margin could with comfort have been larger.

It is the jcb of the Opposition in the House of Commons to examine and criticize the Gov- ernmeni‘s handling of public business If that had been the purpose of Conservative speech- es during the past fcw days -— while few other members of the House havc risen to speak—- there would be nothing wrong with what has bccn going on.

OFFER 0F DISUNITY It has nothing to offer the country. It may be feared. ex- cept more disuniiy. Mr. Diefcn- baker's party wants to force eleciion and seems tempted to fight it on the issue of anti-Que- . hecism. In order to satisfy Mr. Diefenbakcr‘s obsession to re- capture powcr. it is ready to risk an election that could tear the country into pieccs that might never again be united. - This is ihe ambition of th e Diefenba'kcr party. It is not the ambition of the true Conserva- tive Party. and it is time. if it would survive. that the Conser- vative Party took action to dem- onsiraie the fact. Most of what sits on the offi- cial Opposition benches in the Commons has not been the Con scrvative Party since the ‘ast election. In the party revolt which precipitated the election. Mr. Diefenibaker lost a sizeable part of the Conservative Party. That part of it in the Commons remaining enthusiastically with him is not Conservative but r- responsibly radical and devot- ed. not to serving Canada or the party. but to restoring Mr. Dic- enbaker to what he considers his divine right. the prime min Islet-ship. With his filibuster. Mr. nic- fenba‘ker is prepared to contin- ue this shattering of the Conser- vaiive Party. lie is courting the loss of the Quebec wing and of those English- speaking Conser- vative members whose o n- sciences will not permit them to assist with his wrecking p r o- *- g m. N0 ALTERNATIVE The destruction of the party in this way would be a tragedy for the country. for it \v o u ' 6 mean the destruction of the two party system and there wouId be no real alternative to the Lib- crals. It is difficult to understand why Conservatives continue to submit to his destructive rule. The submision can no longer justified on the grounds of party loyalty. for it is the party which Mr. Dlefenbaker seems bent upon destroying. Nor can the silence from Conservative leaders be‘ attributed to them- possibility of getting rid of‘ the man. . A Canadian party leader has considerable powers to perpe- tuate his position. but unlike his counterparts in authoritarian countries he is not a dictator. he cannot compel submission. It accorded him. can only be ihroning Mr. Dlefenbakcr will not be simple. but it can be done not! men united to do it. If Conservatives wish to see the Conservative Party survive in anything but fragments. they will get on with the Job. ‘ cd by pills. Could Dork Lenses. Prevent Glare By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellea Sunglasses screen eyes from the brightness of the sun. Now everyone needs them and some persons enjoy sunshine 0 wear them. At the other extreme are those who use them for medical lessons. Protection from glare ls appre- elated Hues flay. hazel. or green eyea who have less pigment than the brown-eyed. ' Sunglasses should be chosen with a particular purpose in mind. When sunbathing at the beach. skiing. or working in a field. the best lenses are those dark enough to screen out most of the light. They ought to have 0 to r cent transmis- sion. which means that only 10 to 20 per cent of the light reach- es the eyes of. conversely, that 90 to 80 per cent of the light is screen out. Lenses with so to 40 per cent transmission are acceptable for driving a car; a lesser density would shut out too much light for safe driving. Sunglasses that let in more than per cent of the light are suitable only for decoration and to keep out dust. The color of the lens is relat- ed more to style than to func- tion. Exceptions are red, red- orange, yellow. or blue that might interfere with the recog- nition of street signal lights. The glasses should be free of defects such as scratches. bub- bles. and other aws. They should be large enough to give complete protection from glare. The curved lenses help prevent distortion as the eyes rotate. They should fit pro- perly and not block side vision.
