She Oshawn Times | Published by Canadion Newspapers Limited, 86 King 5, E., Oshows, Ont, Poge 6 Monday, Jerry 9, 196) Uneven Representation In Unbalanced Ridings An independent commission may be sppointed to study representation on the Metropolitan Toronto council, Three Metro sress, Etobicoke, North York end Bearboro, sithough equal in size, popula. tion and sesessment to large cities, have only one vote esch in Metro council and bave no more voting power than the villages of Long Branch, Forest Hill and Bwenses, Thus Metro will try to come to grips with sn sncient problem, And the Metro . dilemma should help to remind senior legislators thet federal representation, too, is in 8 pretty sorry state, The srran~ gement of constituencies that return members to the House of Commons is # throwback to the horse-and-buggy days, literally because in spite of re distribution after each decennial census, the balance of voting strength is still heavily weighted in favor of rural ridings, Almost every redistribution has pro- vided glaring examples of gerrymander- ing by the party in power, The job is done by a parliamentary committee, and this, of course, is controlled by the party with a majority in the House, What is needed is an independent commission to do a thorough end impartial job of re distribution following the decennial census ~-- a task, incidentally, thet will follow the census which hes already started in the northern part of the country, It would be impossible to draw riding boundaries in such 8 wey ss to give each the same population, but it should not be difficult to lessen the enormous disparity thet now exists -- a disparity thet gives far more power to the votes of electors in one srea then in another ores, and thet generally weskens the voting power of the urban masses, Examples can be found in every pro- vince, In Alberta, Edmonton West has # population of 106,778, while Vegreville has only 45,322, In British Columbia, the riding of New Westminster has 104,632 people, while Okansgan-Revel- stoke has 32,744, In Ontario, York. Scarborough contains 167,310 people, York Centre 127,691 and Lincoln 111, 740, while Wellington-Huron has 31,712 and Renfrew South 34402, Quebec cone trasts Laval's 117,528 with Vaudreuil Boulange's 32,361, Prince Edward Island has one riding (Kings) with only 17,853 | id Effects Of Spraying Naturalists have cried out for years sgainst indiscriminate spraying of insec- ticides, They have documented proof of the damage that can be done to animals, birds and fish, They are sup- ported now by evidence obtained by the Fisheries Research Board of Canada, A report released by the Board last week showed, among other things, that insecticides can cause heavy mortality in fish, The Board's biological station st Bt. Andrew's, New Brunswick, has been carrying on a longterm study of the Atlantic salmon, The report states; "In this connection, considerable em« phasis was placed on efforts to deters mine the effects of a 1960 DDT spray. ing of two million acres of budworm infested woodland in central New Brunswick on salmon stocks, DDT cone centration of half-strength caused only half as much immediate mortality to native young salmon as application of fullstrength DDT in other areas, Labora- tory experiments have shown that late season mortalities of young salmon from areas sprayed with full-strength DDT may be heavy (around 80 per cent), while samples from half-strength areas have shown no unusual mortality to date" Evidence such as his suggests that provincial authorities would be wise to institute research into. the pros and cons of such practices as spraying of crops snd woodlands from the air, No one wishes to make life any tougher for the growers of crops, which must be pro- tected from the ravages of insects and disease, At the same time, the immediate gain of the sprayer may be the long-term loss of the community at large. When 'sect-eating birds are poisoned, for example, the task of insect-control is made just that much harder, When small fish are killed, more mosquito larvae survive, These are factors quite apart from aesthetic or recreational consideras tions, What is needed is more accurate in. formation on the long-term results of methods and materials used in indise criminate spraying. Since it is in the general interest of the community that such information be obtained, it is only fair that the cost of the research should be borne by the community as a whole, and not solely by those whose livelihood in affected, Marriage Still Goal Despite the greatly increased number of women in the labor force and the rise of the career-girl, it seems that mars riage is still the goal for the female of the species, At least, that is the situation in the United States, according to a re cent nation-wide survey, Here are some of the comments recorded in the survey: Dr, Margaret Mead, distinguished anthropologist, said: "With the new style family, there is increasing pressure on everyone to marry, to marry early, and to marry again, and there is in- creasing intolerance of the unmarried adult, The fact that one has been mars ried has become a defence against accu- sations of abnormality and psychological maladjustment."

There were other answers; "You can be happy as a clam living by yourself, but nobody believes you, If you are single everyone takes it for granted you must be frustrated," "Mom and Dad worry plenty about me not being married, I think they'd rather see me married to a wife-beater than stay single," "If you're married fine; if not, the nicest thing they can call you is 'an extra woman', That sums it up, If you're not married, you're out', Many blamed out-of-date social conventions for putting a high premium on matrimony, There were few, unhappily, who spoke of marriage as an esential part of family fulfillment, If the survey is an accurate Tepresentation of opinion, then society in the United States is in a bad way, because no nation can remain strong when the ties of family are weak. The family structure cannot help but be weakened when the marriage contract is regarddd as nothing more than a social convenience, Bible Thought : The God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified. --Danie! 5:23.

INSIDE YOU Rupert Bpelr, Conservative MP for Hexham, at once took up this complaint with the min. ister of works, and asked that the big bell be silenced as re. quested It is unusual to find that, next to road traffie, the subject of the most complaints was the noises made by other patients, One patient wrote: "I have noticed that one pers son who has stated that the only noise she has to complain about is that made by other pas tients makes the most noise hers sell." Another was irritate hy "'grumblers who are never satis. fled with what 1s being done for them," And visitors alse come in for some criticisms, particularly those who wear stiletto heels, and not only make annoying elickety-elack noise, but do dam. age to the floors in the hospitals, QUEEN'S PARK By BURTON H, FERN, M.D, That innocent-looking salt shaker can be a dangerous wea. Government Finds Nobody's Wrong By DON O'HEARN TORONTO~=The other day At. torney » General Roberts was yup about it in the Toronto press. quoted as follows: "1 do not want the impression created that sheriffs have not done a good job of instructing their staffs." And thereby hangs a tale It is the tale of an important weakness of this government, WON'T OFFEND The weakness is that with it nobody is ever wrong 5 It is so afraid of offending someone~-or at least so it ap: pears--that it goes to ridiculous extremes to bend over back ward Mr, Roberts, the outstanding practitioner, was doing it in the instance above, He was announcing that a course for process servers "might" be held, This was immediately follows Ing a three«day investigation into process serving in the Tore onto area brought about by some admitted cases of negli: gonce--if not more--which had been brought forward, And so Mr, Roberts said there would probably be a course, WHO'S WRONG? A good step which the public would appreciate, But did he leave it there? No, This was no reflection on sher iffs, he said, It was part of a continuing program by his de. partment to improve court pro- cedures And of course you don't have to be Mandrake the Magician to know what the public would think about that Even if it were true--which it probably is--they wouldn't ac. cept it as so, It looks tob much like a force play On the other line if there is obvious inefficiency and the sheriffs are doing all right who is falling down? It must be the attorney-gems eral's department, It is the boss of the sheriffs, TWO-WAY LOOK If the Attorney-General was really taking the bit he would g0 in, sheriffs or no sheriffs, tender feelings or no tender feel. ings, and see just really what Was wrong with process servers and bailiffs in the province, And he would clean things up, again feelings or no feelings, But if he goes in with one eye for the trouble and ope for blushes on hystanders cheeks he obviously is going to do a cock: eyed job And this practice unhappily extends through the whole gov. ernment, : Premier Frost follows it, And of course most of his ministers take his lead Which means that in the field of correction, at least, not as much is done as might be, W.
