It. was awkward. I clumsy mouthful. but to stop themselves calling him "Prime Minister" they addressed him. painstakingly. as “The Right Honourable. the Lead- er of the Official Opposition." But even that didn't always work, as noted in Mr. Chevrie.r's case. Mr. Diefenbaker is said to he enjoying these lapses on his oppon- ents‘ part. and wouldn't think of objecting for the world. Indeed. he may regard them as a psychological index to their true feelings in the matter. He is so sure of himself and his political stars that he has no doubt. of making a comeback to the Prime Minister's office. and the fact that. the Liberals have difficulty in remembering that he ever left it may be because they are subcon- sciously anticipating his return. Too bad Mr. Peter Newman didn‘t get round to discussing this phase of the Diefcnbaker myth in his book on the Diefenbaker Years! It would make a nice ending chap- ter. after his own mythological speculations on the niessianic nature of Dief’s mission, and its effect on Canadian public life. Goldwater's Shadow With Senator Goldwater of Arizona now a rleclrired candidate for the Rnpiiblican nomination in the coming pre.sidenti:1I election in the United States. added interest attaches to this contest. in the eyes of the world. For at n time when the great, nations and their leaders are seeking ways to ease world ten- .-‘ions and guarantee peace. this man is running off in the opposite direc- tion. If by any mischance he were elected to the office he covets, it would be a misfortune indeed. As the Milwaukee Journal points out in I Iearling editorial. Gold- water's views involve a brinkman- ship far more dangerous than any- thing conceived by the late John Foster Dulles. He voted against the signing of the nuclear test. ban treaty and now. campaigning New Hampshire. he advocates suming nuclear testing in the at- mosphere. The proliferation of atomic weapons doesn't frighten him. nor their uncontrolled testing. At 8. time when efforts to isolate Cuba are meeting with some suc- ceau and when Fidel Castro's efforts at" ‘subversion in Latin America show little success. Goldwater is advocating United States backing for an invasion of Cuba. At I time when there has been some success in finding peaceful accommodation with the Soviet Union, he is talking about withdrawing recognition from iiécountry. ‘ I 5. T8- Thls candidate for presidential honors is so Ill informed that be mistakes physicists for political scientists in his broadcast speeches. and has made blunderlng reference to the need for obtaining senate ap- proval for actions that are already vested completely in the president- ial prerogative. Most frightening of all. prob- ably. is Goldwater's demand that the commander in chief of the North Atlantic Treaty be given complete power to use nuclear tactical weapons if and when- he chooses. The chances are slim that the Arizona senator will achieve his po- litical ambition in this case, but they are there. And they will re- main. it’ he is nominated. like a bleak shadow. until after the elec- tion. Cleaning The Ohio At a time when water pollution has become a real problem here and elsewhere, it is interesting to note the success of a scheme launched in the Ohio River valley to combat this menace to health and cleanli- ness. People in the Ohio valley called their river “an open sewer" not too long ago. Few persons could swim in it. Fish were almost nonexistent. Boat bulls and propellers were damaged by acids and other wastes. Today the situation has changed, to the extent that the Cincinnati wat- er works now claims it can produce pure drinking water without I “chemical lab" taste. When the sanitation scheme started. raw sewage from 99 per cent of the population along the 963 miles of river was being discharg- ed into the Ohio. Through persuas- ion, pressure and court action. the sanitation commission has been able to reverse the situation astonishing- ly. Today 98 per cent of the “sewer- ed" population along the stream have sewage treatment works in operation or under consideration. And in the'Ohio watershed-—a much larger area—the story is similar. About 86 per cent. of the industries discharging wastes di- rectly into streams in the region now have faciities for processing these wastes. More than a billion dollars have been invested in treat- ment facilities by municipalities and industries alike. An interesting point about the story is that there has been general satisfaction with the results of this huge expenditure. No one now re- gards it as anything but a sound investment. Out Of The Past It is not alone the personalities of Prime Minister Pearson and President de Gaulle that count in this week's meeting of the two leaders in Paris. comments the Ottawa Journal. Nor even the long associations between Canada and France or the agreements brought about by common cultures and ideals. Beyond all such considera- tions is the obligation of the two na- tions to the invisible company of young men who died at Vimy or Dieppe. in trenches heavy with mud or in the flaming battles of the air. They believed they were fighting for freedom, these young men, and they believed that the comradeship of allies would protect their ideals against petty prides and ruthless ambitions. This is a practical world, of course. where the Common Market looms larger than an aging memor- ial. And yet Mr. Pearson, who has been a soldier and a historian, and General de Gaulle, who would re- store the glory that was France long ago, must be conscious of the debts incurred 45 and 25 years ago. EDITORIAL NOTE Ten years ago Industry. publish. ed by the Canadian Manufacturers Association. announced sadly: “People don't pinch pennies any more. it seems. They just carry them around in their pockets to pay the sales taxes." The penny is even more insignificant than it was then and the problem of shrinking values is still with us. To under- line this point, Industry has recall- ed its comment of I decade ago, in which It. noted that even piggy- banks were being geared to take only nickles. dimes and quarters. “Just try sneaking I penny into I kid's penny-bank today,” it says. "It can be embarrassing if you're caught." I. r / / I ///// .//// ///// DEFENCE CUTS ECONGMY ALL SHA\/“ED WITH THE SAME BLADE OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson Tea Caddy Hall Instead Of Eornscliite We are very short of bona fide national shrines in Canada. So many Canadians will applaud the decision of the Historic Sites and Monuments Board to recom- mend the purchase of Bellevue House. in Kingston. Ontario. “Bellevue is one of the few remaining houses associated with the life of Canada's first Prime Minister," said Canada’I 14th Prime Minister. in announ- cing the government's Intention to oct on the recommeda-tion. “The house will be refurbished not only in the style of Sir John A's time but with some of the actual furniture used by him." The purchase price of the house will be about $35,000. with an additional 530.000 required for renovation and structural re- irs. This is not taxpayers‘ money well spent. REST AND PEACE Sir John A. Macdonaid was an immigrant from Scotland, who made his home at Kingston. where he set up in the practice ‘ of law in his young days. He liv- ed in various houses in Kingston most of which were in the now unfashionable down-town area. In t.he summer of 1848. he decid- ed to move out of the town. so th . his ailing wife Isabella could enjoy e rest and peace and fresh air of the rural sur- roundings. About I mile from the town. he found I 12- r0 0 m house standing in more than two acres of garden sloping down to the waterfront. of Lake Ontario. This house had been built nine years previously by a ‘red grocer named Charles who in his affluent old age had dreamed of living in an “Eyela- lian Willar." {he resultant grot- esquerie was described as being in “Tuscan Italian" style. and Sir John nicknamed this coun- try villa “Pekoe Pagoda." The locals. in tribute to the previous activities of its builder. irrever- entiy dubbed It variously Mus- covado ‘Cottage and Molasses Hall and. more commonly. Tea Caddy Castle. So Sir John rented Pekoe Pa- goda. and in August 1848 he moved his family into it.

And for a long period his wife was cofined to bed there suffering great pain. MOVE TO OTTAWA Nearly twenty years later. Sir John became the first P r I m e Minister of the new nation of Canada. He made Ottawa his home. and here in due course he bought “Earnscliffe". on cliff overlooking the Ottawa Riv- er and almost within the shadow of Parliament's Peace Tower. Here he lived and worked and ultimately died. I Today Earnscliffe is the most famous and possibly the most impressive private home in Ot- Itwelve months later he moved I tawa. It is used Is the official : residence of the High Commis- ‘ sioner of Britain. whose govern- ment owns it.

A former occupant of it told me that his government would certainly sell it if the purchase it for this purpose. Located in the centre of o u r capital. Earnscliffe is the house where the furniture and belong- ings of the famous Sir J o h n 3 ' should be gathered—the whole being thrown open to visitors.

The toxin is not inac- tivated by cooking or reheating e food. This type of poisoning usually is suspected when nausea. ret- ching. cramping. and diarrhea come on 3 h o u r s after eating. The condition seldom is fatal and symptoms subside in 4 to 6 hours. B o tu I I s m. another typc of food poisoning caused by toxins. was more common when home canning was popu- lar.

By Jim Reading the significance of reports of harmony coming from the Cairo meeting of Arab leaders is I difficult task. In the face of almost constant quarrelling among Arab na- tions, any agreement among their leaders might seem sur- prising. However. most Middle East observers are more likely to point out that in view of the purpose of their Cairo summit meeting. the Arab leaders are to be expected to show I cer- tain unity. The Arab leaders were brought together to consider means to challenge Israel‘; planned Jordan River diversion project. And if there has been any issue on which the Arabs have always been united. it is in their opposition to Israel. EARLY OPPOSITION Their unanimity in this area was displayed from the begin- ning—on the day after the Brit- ‘ish mandate over Palestine was ended with the proclamation May 14. 1948 of the Jewish state of Israel. Arab troops from Sy- ria. Lebanon. Jordan. Iraq and Egypt invaded the new indepen- dent state. In light of the Arab hatred for the Israelis. few were sur- prised when all 13 members of the Arab League responded to Egyptian President Nasser’s in- vitation to this heads-of-state meeting in Cairo.

Israel has said it ' oppose with force any Arab plan to cut off the Jordan headwaters, but such obstruction of the river system would be so costly and compli- cated. the Arabs seem unlikely to undertake it without outside help.
