Two youth bowers Sharlene Cain and comtle Bradley captured a provincial champ- lonship last week and Mrn. Bill Jo1 set &Hl kinds of new records for ladies uingles bowling in the Canadian champ- fonshipi, ta really put Eowmanville on the rnap. Also, it would appear quite prbble as this is being- written on Tuesaday that Bowmanville's Bantam hockey tearn coached and managed by George Cawker and Buck CowIe, uhould wrap Up another provincial titie this week ini their battle with Tillsonburg. Cogauations ta the winners, they have bbrought great honor to their homne town. Doris Johi's high bowling- scores should keep the narne ai Eowranvllle in the record books ft)r soi» Urne to corne.

This major centennial event 15 certainly a worthwhile preventative effort by the Northumberland and Dur- hami Tuberculosis and Health Associa- tion. Fiowever, to make it an autstand- Ing success the individuals in the county will have ta play their part, not Just by ofering their assistance in vol- unteering for the many jobs that are part ai the survey, but also by partici- pating in the survey by attending the dinic and actually having tests made. Technology uncontrolled is what produced the disaster in Carnwall, Angland. It is ecanamical ta move ail in huge quantities, so ail is moved in huge quantities, without thought ai the A .ocial consequences which might fol- 'Iow. The Torrey Canyon is by no means the largest tanker afloat - Japan's Xdimetsu Maru with its 205,000 tans ca- pacity has that honor - and designs are already publisheci for ane af 500,000 tons. Sa hundredi ai miles ai bovely beach is fouled, and catastrophe faces inian, fish andi bird. The companies which spawned these manstraus tankers haci in mind enly the mast efficient and speediest method ai moving où from source ta mrarket.

The Ontario Safety League reports medical opinion that many lives are Iost unnecessarily after traff ic accidents, because first-aid for shock is flot given. Shock is an insidious, widespread apd grossly under-estimateci cause of' 'death. It often lies undetected behînd ,& mask of more spectacular injuries, iuch as bleeding or severe burns. Its pbower is relatively unknown to the average man. Even doctors stili can't tully explain or "cure" shock. Shock is ,.Iarely mentioned on death certificates, yet It kilîs outright more persons than -do burns or gunshot wounds, according ta the magazine "Family Safety." Shock, in essence, is the body's reaction to a major physical or emo- tional insult. Shock cannot develop by .îtself like a disease, but must be trig- Sered by a sudden happening. Death from shock can occur several iniinutes, several hours, or several days after an injury. Once shock reaches ad- *vanced stages it is difficuit, often im- possible ta combat. But immediate first <eid can hait its progress or prevent its lIn nèighboring Northumberland, quit@ a, numnber ai cases af TB and Diabetea wero uncovered by the survey, Most of theni ln the early stages when cures could b. efiected without great diffi- culty. The sarne could b. truc of citi- zens of Durham, but they will nover know until ton late unless they allow theniselves to be tested. Sa, check the advertisement con- cerning dates ai clinics in your particu- lar region and play a part in making the survey a succes. We are pleased ta, report that volunteers have been pour- ing in by phone in Bowmanville, where lait week a shortage ai helpers threat- ened ta cancel or postpane the survey. The High Price of Man's Progress international boundaries as easily as the ail fram, the Torrey Canyan swept on the tide tawards the beaches ai Cornwall. In itself each separate act cantributes; only a fraction ta the final catastrophe, but the aggregate ai what we have already done on this continent alone is beyond measuring. If tankers like the Torrey Canyon are ta sail the seas then the ruIez rmust be changed ta govenn their passage. Ownens and insurance companies can- not be allowed ta dlaim the sanctuary ai the high seas ta pratect their goods or their investment ta the peril ai great social assets. Industry cannot be allow- ed ta continue ta pollute because it in profitable te do se. No single set ai rights can take precedence over damage ta the public good.g We are hardly in a position here in Montreal ta argue any case. This city stands as a shocking monument ta the abuse of natural resaurces. Our crime ha* nat been tae çjr,il qoisp Jpvely. ; beaches but ta turrÊ a great river intô' an open sewer and deprive ail who live along its banks ai the pleasures it has te aifer. National and international law may be aifected by the disaster off Corn- wall. But, before there in anather Tor- rey Canyon, the world should consider what price is ta be paid for the acci- dents which can befall ihese vast ships. And, in considering this,1 we might also canaider whether other forms ai pollu- tion are talerable. indle Shock In treating an injury, a persan should first restore breathing if neces- sary, stop bleeding and, third treat for shack, according ta Dr. Donald A. Duke- low. immeilyred persan should be immdiaelytretedforshock, although he shows none ai the symptants ai pal- lon, rapîd heart beat, shallow breathing and a dazed, confused attitude. Cambating shock is really very simple, for you reverse what you see in the victim. Ho seemns cold, s0 you caver hînt enough ta keep hini camiortably worm, but not sweating. His face is pale, sa you lift his feet (if this does not inteniere with an injury) ta send blood flowing ta bis heoi. Fie is faint and dizzy, sa you give him a whiff of ammonia or a drink of stimulant such as coifee, but neyer alcohol which is a dopressant. Hie is losing body fiuids 50 you give hint crude "transfusions", by letting him sip water or other liquicis. Unless an injured persan is in im- mediate danger, front a burning build- ing or such, you shauld flot move him. A firn hand grip or comforting words are also excellent therapy for shock. Father Fiennepin at Niagara Falls, 1678. Cartier and Champlain had heard of the waterfall from Indians and had no concept of its size. IBrule probably camne within a few miles but evidently neyer saw it. Hennepin was probably the iirst white man ta observe Niagara Falls and was the first to publish a full and ac- curate account ai it. The sketch of the faîls is based on one ho made in 1678 and later published when he returned ta Europe. Fie described it as a "vast andi pro- diglous cadence of water which fails down aiter a surprising and astonishing. manner, insornuch that the univers. does not afford its paralol . . . This won- derful waterfall is compaunded of two great cross-streams af water, and two faîls, with an isle sloping along the mniddle ai it. The waters which faîl from. this vast height, do foamn and boil aiter the mnoat hideous manner imaginable, making an outrageous noise, more terrible than that of thunder . . - Although Hennepin's sketch was out af proportion, its general features were accurate and it shows that dramatic changes have taken place in the shape ai the falîs since then. The crossfall at the right, in front af the western end ai the Horseshoe Faîl, spouted from Table Rock, which aplit off and crumbled in 1850. The horseshoe brink has gradually eroded and the course af the river changed since Hennepin's Day. Hennepin waà a Belgian-born Franciscan friar. Fie is shown wearing a hoad- ed robe with a knotted cord around his waist. The rules ai the order required sandals an bare feet, but in the wilderness ho wore moccasins. Louis Fiennepin was stationed at Fort Frontenac, travelled Quebec and Ontario as a missionary ta the fur traders, then viewed the falîs after ijaining an expedition of Sieur de la Salle, the great French explorer oi the Mississippi valley. Fiennepin was cap- turecl by the Sioux while exploring in Minnesota. Eventually ho was rescued by the Sieur de Luth, leader oi a French expedition into Sioux country. Fiennepin made his way back through the Jesuit Mackinac mission on Lake Hfuron, Fort Frontenac, and Quebec ta Europe, where he wrote a series ai popular and boast- ful books about his adventures in the New World. These accounts later revealed t him ta be an extreme egotist and exaggerator, who tried ta gain for himself much t of the credit for La Salle's explorations.c (This picture is one i a series which readers may wish ta clip and ave.> Dear£tdtters Noear ýditor:- n b Nait uaaer eronth ar be quitnware g f a the si byraiwasi af Cadias, byve vars ckeatorns, roeveanovrinnt in mu ryofahn, rnta posa. by alrabmlert. that hc In the Dim and Distant Past' Froni the.Statesman.

It's 1987 and we have tjniforce, alias the Canadian Cobras, 100,000 strong, pure bone and gristie, master-minded by jut-jawed Joe Gari- baldi, Minister of National Defence. The Yanks are ahl upset because he is dickering with the Chinese, a couple of waiters froni the Nanking restaurant. t's obviously a second Cuba in the making. Joe gets a caîl frorn the White House. Hie states his terms, and hang s up. He knows his man. LSD, president ai the U.S. of A., is a tough cookie. Fie came up through the unions, like Joe, but owes his position to the huge wealth of his wife, Mary Warner, of the hide- ausly rich Boston Warners. Twenty minutes later, Joe's phone rings.. It's LSD himself. "Now, look, Joe. We don't want trouble. We paid eight million for Alaska and I think five million for the Louisiana Purchase thing. Yeah, we know there's Inflation. How about a straight eight billion, aiter taxes? You want ten? Don't be ridicu- lous. We won't go a nickel past nine. After ail, we own most af-the country anyway. A deal? Right. Take over." It wasn't quite that simple, of course. Joe had to cati a meeting of the War Councl. This group had supplanted the Cabinet, whlch wvas relegated to, such tasks as studying the Inimediatej lfousing Bill, introduced in 1968, and the OId Age Unemployment Act, pre- pared in 1969. But it didn't take long. Joe had1 hgnd-pickecj his senior officers. Marsh- aIl-AdmiraI Louis Latour had wantedr to be King Louis the First ai New Can-r ada the Second. After Joe haci explain-s ed how awkward this would be, LouisE settled for the liquor concessions at aill martyrs' shrines in the country.E The others went along. Colonel- d Commodore Nils Jorgenson of Winni- 'U peg balked a' little at getting no more h than the remaining mineraI rights of o the Prairie Provinces, but finally ac- P ceded, grumbling. The rest accepteda what they got: The fishing rights in 1) ýo against..the new bul'd enai 1work. They sey the. on. a mlttee system isn't working r out, that they 'can't be in n two places at the saine time, t- that they are left with ai- i-must no time for other -.duties. S The committees sit whilc the House ins itting. Saine committees have been meet- ing three timea a day - f rnarning, afternoon, a n d R evening. An active member, who mray sit on two or three committees, starts bis day at about 9 a.m., and ends it at 10 or Il pin. He may have WVednesday and Friday even- ings off for other meetings, social duties, recreation, or for getting back ta his con- stituency for a weekend ai work at home. This la one reason why mnembers are getting aw- fuily tired af people who tell thein scornfully that they don't carri their $18,000 a year,, Most of them do earn it, and mamt af them are work- ing taa bard. The burden af committee work in a long session is a strain an 'their health and their tempers, and some change-,s will prob- ably have ta be mode ta case the burden. But the achievemerits ni saine af these cammittees in this Session have been ào 1 signuficant that there can i be no question of any'seriaus t curtailment ai the commit- tees.C The Finance Committee,1 for exomple, heid 108 mieet-% ings dealing with six gov- r erninent b Ils, including the massive decenniai revision ii of the Bonk Act. i This Committee deait ex- t] haustively with this bill v which, when it was first in- ti troduced, was almost uni- ii versoliy predicted ta con- p tain the seeda af violent cantroversy.p The painstaking and ob- eý jective research in Commit- TI tee toak ail or mont ai the bi sting out af the contra-i versies.

Mr. Deachman is co-ord- tinator of committees, and !his statistical effluent seems 7to be designed to demon- strate that Members af Parliament really are a hard-working lot. The most recent Dcach- mani report, for exemple, announced that 27 parlia- ntentary committees h a d held a total af 806 meetings ta March 8, 1967. If you assume that each meeting lasted two hours, and was attended by 20 Members af Parliament, yau arrive at a total of some- thing aver 32,000 MP-hours spent in committees. And if yau recahi that the current session will soon be- came the longest in history- it, storted January 18, 1967- and that the Commons bas been sitting while the corn- mittees sit, you are mare or iess obliged ta agree with Mr. Deachinan. Members af Parliament have been worklng hard, perhaps too hard. Well aver 100 pieces of legisiation have been pass- ed, including such impressive enactinents as medicare, guaranteed annuel incarne for aId age pensioners, the Canada Assistance Plan, the health resources fund, a science counicil, manpower pragrams, Bank Act revisian, andi a new transportation policy. But what . has added the heaviest burden ta the MP's work is the new coin- iÎttee system. Much more work is being done in committee now than ever before. Spending esti- mates of each departinent are sent ta a committee for rletailed study. Important pieces ai legislation go toaa standing or special commit- tee. Special probleins, like the case af Ontario Supreme Court Judge Lea Landre- ville, are assigned to special committees. Members of Parliarnent are humon enough, af thrnhte reminnlsaesd Keepj The Traagport corn*nfttu b1andled the huge billon thé- new transportation pollcy in a sirnilar objective and efficient manner. The De. fence CoMmittee, w h iie more cantentiaus, certainly,1 had a ±haraugh and expert- examination 'of defeýce uni.' fication. Other committees looked, Into living costs, drug priees, broadcastîng, the P u b il1 service, automobile notet, agriculture, divorce, connum-y er credit, national parks and penitentiaries. Saine MPs who never~ shine In the larger forum of the House af Commons comae into their own in the inform- ai, reasoned atinasphere ol a committee. A committee is less parti- san than the Commans, les. theatrical. There a mem-, ber cari become expert, en bonking, defence, pricing systemas, drug costs, or any one af a number of subi ects. If he wants information, he can usually get it front expert witnesaes. And ex- pert information, amide front its intrinsic value, tends ta reduce the inflarmmotory element in any piece of legisiation. This in one of the greatest values Of committee work. Once a committee has deait with a bill, thot bill ustially: escapes being treated with intemperate partismnshlp in the House. Effective Partimanship re- quires a certain blindness toe facts. The cornmittee pro- vides facta and reduces, Partisanshlp.
