Wilson, Publisher ' H + THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1963--PAGE 6 i Bennett Defeats Logic 'Wins Another ; | It has been said that something happens to people when they cross 'the Rockies and settle down to life 'on the West Coast -- they undergo 'a sea change, lose their eastern in- thibitions and become oddballs, 'living life at the extremes as eccen- 'trics, extroverts or hermits. There may be something in that , theory. At least it would provide an 'explanation of the curious conduct 'of British Columbia voters at elec- 'tion time. They keep their heads 'fairly well during federal elections, 'but do the oddest things with their 'provincial votes. It would explain their continuing 'love affair with Premier Bennett 'and his Socie! Credit regime -- a love affair carric? on in the face 'of what must appear to anyone living outside British Columbia as Mr. Bennett's utter contempt for parliamentary producers, respon- 'gible government and the mass | mind. Still,. there's got to be more to 'it than that. One practical explanation could be that British Columbias -- or enough of them -- still believe Mr. Problem Of Leadership Political pundits are now saying 'that Premier Robarts could hold power in Ontario for the next two elections, if he avoided serious political errors (and he has shown himself to be adept at avoiding traps) and there is no economic up- heaval (certainly no one is prop- hesying a debacle). The Ontario Liberals are un- : doubtedly pondering this possibility \ as they give thought to their prob- ' Jem of leadership. They can at least console themselves that they now ' have time to select the man who - can lead them out of the wilderness; time may be their best ally. The Liberals certainly do not need to rush. They have an exper- { jenced house leader in Farquhar " Oliver, who can be trusted to do the job of opposition with solid ten- ' acity if not with flair. They need . the time, because they do not have many obvious or outstanding can- - didates for the leadership. 'No Liberal member of the Legis- ' lature appears to have the qualities Clock Hands Move Back For 17 years the' Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has carried on its cover a clock ticking off the minutes to the "hour of nuclear doom." The ; hands recently have been at about ' seven minutes to midnight, the Mil- ' waukee Journal reports: The clock has been called the "conscience" of atomic scientists. ' 'The magazine editors point out that : it is not meant as a gauge register- . ing the ups and downs of the cold : war and power struggle but "is in- ' tended to reflect basic changes in the level of continuous danger in ' which mankind lives in the nuclear ' age." The clock hands have now been moved back from seven minutes to ' midnight to 12 minutes. to mid- night -- indicating the belief that man kind is a bit safer now. Why? She Ostrava Times T. L.

They be- lieve this despite Mr. Bennett's arrogant adoption of one of the principles of Socialism in his clumsy --and, as it turned out -- illegal takeover of the province's huge electric power company, the BCE. His campaign was made easier, how- ever, by the fantastic promises made by the NDP. The Coast Liberals lack strong leadership; British Columbians ob- viously could not picture Mr. Perrault s premier. The B.C. Con- servatives have been in slumber for so long' that their new leader, capable Davie Fulton, needs a lot more time to arouse them. But he increased their vote in Monday's election to a more respectable 11 per cent of the total (from six per cent), and if he can build that into a surge, this may have been the last election in which Mr. Bennett could claim that there was no alter- native to Socialism but Social Credit. needed for the job. Messrs. Sopha, Singer and Whicher have been mentioned; it's doubtful if they would do as well as John Winter- meyer -- and that was not good enough. Robert Nixon is also men- tioned, but he has had too little time in the Legislature to reveal his qualities. Mr. Nixon's big asset at the mo- ment is youth -- and the Liberals will need a young leader, or at least one young enough to be vigor- ous and capable of years of leader- ship eight or ten years from now. Mr: Nixon may develop into the leader the party needs, but at the movement it seems more likely that the party will have to go outside the elected members to find the man they should have to put new life, drive and appeal into it. Robert Winters, former cabinet minister and now a high-priced business executive could be such a man. One thing the Liberals must do: Forget about Mitchell Hepburn. The ineffable Mitch was a winner in the thirties, but this is a new day. Because of the ban, just approved by the senate, on nuclear testing in the atmosphere, under water and in outer space. This does not in- dicate that the magazine is: naive, Eugene Rabinowitch, editor of the Bulletin and professor of biophysics at the University of Illinois, says this: y "Not that the treaty is a signifi- cant step toward disarmament; it is not. But the treaty provides the first tangible confirmation of what has been the Bulletin's conviction in recent years -- that a 'new cohesive force' is making the future of man a little less foreboding." When the clock was first used on the Bulletin cover the hands were at eight minutes to midnight. They have been. moved four times. In October of 1949, when the Soviet Union exploded the atomic bomb, they went to three minutes to mid- night. In September of 1953, when the Soviet Union and the United States developed the hydrogen bomb, they moved ahead to two minutes to midnight. In January of 1960 the hands moved back to seven minutes to midnight, for the editors believed that in the 15 years the bomb had existed there was a growing awareness of its dangers and a desire to curb it.

REPORT FROM U.K. Bamstaple Fair Keeps Traditions By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Corresponuent : For The Oshawa Times BARNSTAPLE, Devon -- One of the typical features of Eng- lish country life is to be found in the country fairs which are held every year in different parts of the country. Each of these fairs has its own charac- teristics ,and peculiarities, such as the Widdecombe Fair which has been immortalized in song. But while down in Devon on holiday, I came across a coun- try fair which had some fea- tures which are peculiarly its own, In it are embodied some old customs and _ traditions YOUR HEALTH which have no counterpart in any of the other hundreds of fairs held every year. This was the annual Barn- staple Fair, which people from all over Devon and other parts of the country attend. And this year its success was assured by glorious English sunshine. SECRET BEER RECIPE Here is one of the distinc- tive customs which marks the Barnstaple Fair. On the evening before the Fair, Fred Ackland, 62-year- old senior beadle of Barnstaple, locked himself in a room in the town-hall to prepare Brit- ain's most secret beer. This is a spiced ale' which is made Safer Exercises For 35-Year-Olds By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Do you ad- vise a man of 35 and in good health to start weight-lifting? I am 10 pounds overweight and was told this is a good method of reducing and of toning up the muscles. A But I have also' heard that weight-lifting can cause hernias and back trouble.--VB. At the risk of drawing on my head the ire of weight-lifters, I vote against it, my philosophy being it's "better safe than sorry." Weight-lifting is a sport that should be started earlier in life: Then you can gradually acquire the necessary muscle develop- ment. : I have no doubt that plenty of weight-lifters never have el- ther hernias or back trouble-- but they are people who have learned the art gradually and well, A stranger to weight-lifting, trying to do too much too soon, and without suitable instruction, is asking for trouble. Besides, there's nothing extra- special about this sport as @ form of exercise to lose weight. There are any number of other exercises that are easier to learn,' safer for the novice and more appropriate for a man of 35 who hasn't been in training for ge fag Ps ge Dear Dr. Molner: Like thou- sands of others, I still have a well and drink water from it. It was recently tested by the state health department and found to be safe. I also have a water softener which takes out the hardness and minerals, mostly iron, cal- cium and magnesium, I believe. . Does this process remove minerals which are beneficial for health? Does the softened water have a tendency toward constipation? --HB. Testing by the state applies only to whether the water is safe to drink. So continue to have routine checks. Whether you drink "hard" or "soft"? water makes no. differ- ence. The difference is in wash- ing--face, dishes, clothes, car, etc. FIGHT HOODLUMS ST. TROPEZ, France (Reut- ers)--Between 4,000 and 5,000 French gendarmes and riot po- lice formed themselves into beach patrols here and at other popular seaside resorts this summer to combat the growing menace of rowdy teen - age gangs. Reports from returning holiday - makers indicate some improvement. , The minerals which are re- moved are not in a form that can be utilized by the body, so there's no loss to you. Nor is there any effect on constipation. Many people with . "softened" water have another faucet for unsoftened water to drink, but it's solely because of the taste. Soft water is just as safe to drink, Dear Dr. Molner: My 11-year- old son has a rupture at the scrotum. I have taken him to three different doctors, They all say he must have an operation but to wait until he is older. Do you think it is best to wait or go ahead and have it done? Will. it lezd to cancer or any- thing. dangerous?--Mrs. RM You've been to three doctors, and all gave the same advice. Why try to second-guess them? If 1 were to examine the boy, I suspect that my opinion would be the same, because the "wait- until-later'"' policy has been the best in such cases. No, waiting won't lead to cancer or "any- thing serious."' But waiting may make it possible to do a better job when the surgery is per- formed. from a recipe 500 years old, It was made to be served to, spe- cial guests who were to attend the opening of the fair on the following day. The recipe is written/on an old parchment dating back to the 15th century. It lists six vital herbs and spices which are added to strong ale, and gives the exact proportions of each to be used. Mr. Ackland was given the task of making four and a half gallons of the spiced ale, and it took him some three hours to complete the process. RECIPE LOCKED UP This recipe is kept locked in 'a safe at the town hall through- out the year. Even the mayor is not allowed to know the in- gredients which are used, Some days before he starts the brew- ing process, Mr. Ackland goes quietly from shop to shop, buy- ing the herbs and spices, buy- ing only one item in each shop. Thus he ensures that no one can find out the right combination which is called for in the old recipe. F, J, Broad, the town clerk of Barnstaple, said: "Many people have tried to get hold of the recipe, but with- out success. On one occasion, however, we did allow a visitor from the United States to take some of the ale home in a bottle." OPENING CEREMONY As part of the proceedings at the opening ceremony for Barn- staple's Fair, Mr. Ackland, dressed in a costume which in- cluded a silk top hat with a white ribbon, served the secret ale to special guests from a massive silver punchbowl which was presented to the town by a reformed pirate in 1045, The guests were also pre- sented with "'fairlings", a dis- tinctive type of sweetmeats also made specially for the occasion. There was still some of the secret ale left after the special opening ceremony guests had all been served. Members of the public were then allowed to enjoy a small sip of it until it was all gone. Meanwhile, the sacred recipe had been placed under lock and key for another year. Throughout the day of Barn- staple Fair, another custom hallowed by tradition is the dis- playing of a white glove, gar- landed with flowers, from one of the high windows of the Guild- hall. This is done to signify the openhanded welcome which is extended to all the visitors to the town on the day of its annual fair. BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Alex G.

McLaughlin. Baffles Peace Makers CAIRO (AP)--The grim little war in Yemen is marking its first birthday and nobody is ig to say when--or how-- will end. It has defied efforts by UN Secretary-Genera] U Thant to find a solution. It gets more complicated almost every day, although most diplomats believe everybody involved now would like to get out. The problem is to find terms acceptable to everyone, President Gamal Abdel Nas- ser still has some 30,000 troops there, Feisal, though he has no troops in Yemen, is still strongly com- mitted to the ousted Imam Mo- hammed Al-Badr. The Nasser- backed republicans still mainly control the flatlands, The Saudi- backed monarchists largely control the mountains. The disengagement plan first pushed by President Kennedy and later picked up by the United Nations now is plainly stalled -- although Egypt and Saudi Arabia recently agreed to pay for joint Canadian-Yugosiaw UN observer teams to remain two more months. The Saudis angrily blame Nasser for failure of the plan. They say they ceased direct aid to the monarchists as they agreed, The Egyptians say aid still is coming across the bor- ders and consequently Egyptian troops are remaining in Yemen. The Egyptians have with- drawn some 10,000 soldiers from Yemen but all have been re- ~ placed. FORCE FLIGHT A Pe ago bearded Col.

Net Reduces Nfld. Fishermen's Toil ST. JOHN'S, Nfld. (CP) -- There has been a change in technique in the important New- foundland inshore fishing indus- try--something that has hap- pened so seldom in the last four centuries the changes can be counted on one hand. It's the introduction of nylon gill nets for codfishing, a type of net that is taking the long hours out of fishing and on the whole yielding better catches. Not since the invention of the codtrap in the last century or the introduction of the gas en- gine, which eliminated back- breaking rowing, has anythng pleased fishermen more than the nylon net. Thousands of them now are in use in the province. The gov- ernment pays a subsidy to fish- ermen. who buy nylon nets, and since last April subsidies have been paid on 15,000 nets, says H. C, Windsor, a member of the three-man Newfoundland Fish- eries Development Authority. Nearly 10 years ago the auth- ority, in co-operation with the federal fisheries department, Quebec Expansion By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Will Canada soon have to find a new capital city, to replace Ottawa? The dream of French-Cana- dian extreme nationalists has long been to create a break- away Republic of Laurentia, an independent nation in the heart of what now is Canada. The swelling tide of this French- Canadian sentiment now is turn- ing this dream into a positive aim. The target is to create a self-governing "homeland" for all French-Canadians. This new state would not consist only of the present province of Quebec; it would also include those ad- jacent areas of eastern Ontario and northern New Brunswick where the overspill from Que- bec has settled. The map of Canada shows that two alien wedges plunge into the shape of the province of Quebec. One is northwest New Brunswick where the over- spill from Quebec has settled. The map of Canada shows that two alien wedges plunge into the shape of the province of Quebec. One is northwest New Brunswick, which intrudes into the Gaspe Peninsula. The other is eastern Ontario, comprising all the land lying to the east of a line drawn from North Bay to Kingston. HISTORY REPEATS A quarter-century ago Europe was rocked by a similar ethnic problem. A wedge of Czecho- slovakia, known as the Sudeten- land, plunged into eastern Ger- many. This wedge was the home of people of German origin. The desire to reincorporate this land and its German settlers into Germany led to Hitler's threats followed by his subse- quent invasion and capture of that land. The pattern could be repeated here in part. French-Canadian extremists are already talking - of demanding plebiscites in those areas of neighboring prov- inces which contain a privity of French-Canadians. The recent census shows that there are 5,500,000 French-Ca- nadians in Canada, Four and one-quarter million live in Que- bec; one-quarter million in New Brunswick; 650,000 in Ontario; and small pockets scattered elsewhere, A plebiscite in some Ontario counties would probably disclose a majority in favor of seceding og Ontario and joining Que- c _Ontario's: easternmost coun- ties, Glengarry, Prescott and TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 3, 1963... All 39 persons on board an American Overseas Airlines aircraft were killed 17 years ago today--in 1946--whert it smashed into Hare Hill, near Stephenville, Nfld: at that time it was the worst disaster in the history of U.S. civil aviation. the plane was bound for Shan- non, Ireland, from New York when it crashed 10 minutes after takeoff from Harmon Field, Nfld., where it had refueled. 1226--St. Francis of Assisi died 1658 -- Miles Standish, leader of the Pilgrim Fa- thers, died. Russell, each contain an abso- lute majority ef French-Cana- dians, In Stormont, as in its main city of Cornwall, they are the largest ethnic group. In the city of Eastview, which forms the sprawling new eastern area of our capital, they are the dominant group. They lap around Government House and the official residence of the prime minister. Russell County reaches' to the eastern edge of this capital. These facts show the chaotic situation which could result if these French- Canadian demands should achieve plebiscites, OLD PREDICTION '; bese B ses ago, the late enator arles Murphy pre- dicted that this demand for the incorporation of eastern Ontario into Quebec would eventuate. Mr. Murphy was Liberal MP for Russell County from 1908 until 1925; he was a cabinet minister in the governments of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Macken- zie King. He was forced out by French - Canadian residents of Russell and was replaced by one of their own; French-Cana- dian Liberals have held the seat since 1925. This concept of an independ- ent Laurentia has the backing of a large and growing secret society. in Quebec called The Phaiange. Its membership is restricted to French-Canadian Catholics. It is neither con- nected with nor condones the violent extremism shown by certain other French-Canadian groups, but it claims to have en- listed responsible and respect- able members. The Phalange it- self is only five years old, but the 'dream of Laurentia" is of course much older. If the Phalangists were to at- tain their objective, the posi- tion of Ottawa as a national capital would become abso- lutely impossible; the seat of government would have to be changed. More serious, the via- bility of the balance of Canada would be threatened. And what would happen to more remote Ontario counties which contain a major French - Canadian group, such as Sudbury and Cochrane? F\ subsidy began experimenting with nylon nets in this province. Key per- sonnel were sent to study meth- ods of nylon gill netting on the Great Lakes, then returned to teach local fishermen, RESULTS GOOD "A few nets were given to selected fishermen in selected areas,' Mr. Windsor says. "They were asked to out and report results. The re- sults were outstanding." The net spread underwater resembles the net used on a tennis court. The fish swim into it and become entangled, The old codtrap was like a large box made of netting. The fish swam in, then couldn't get out. Capt. Leo Power, fishing out of Trepassey on the southern tip of the Avalon Peninsula, gave an idea of the effective- ness of the nylon gill net. He used to use 100 hand lines of gear with 50 to 60 hooks on each. line. They had to be baited, coiled, set and hauled-- a dawn-to-dark operation. A good haul would be 5,000 pounds of cod a day. Now Capt. Power has 12 nylon gill nets averaging 6,000 pounds a day. The working hours are cut by half and there's no bait to worry about. The government for a 50 .« mounted net, half its cost, mak- ing it cheaper to operate. Capt. Power says his 100 lines would pays a $25 fathom 4 cost $600, half the cost of 12 gill nets after the governmént pays the subsidy. FISH BIGGER Mr. Windsor says the gill net can operate for a longer season and in deeper water. "A very high percentage of fish taken the nets are of the large kind." Salt fish buyers haye been gay- ing for years that this is the type of fish they want, In the first six months last year cod landings were 97,911,- 451 pounds, In the same this year they were two foaene Powe attribute "We don't 4 increases to the myles ata . . . but we are of the sound opinion that some of the in- crease has resulted from the ef- ficiency of the nylon net," Mr. Windsor says, Fishermen who once shunned March, April and May because of lack of bait and r now are using nylon nets. At Tack's Beach this. spring 1,100 quintals of fish were landed with nylon nets, while the top previous spring production before the nets was 250 quintals. A quintal equals 112 pounds. Nylon nets are lighter and easier to handle than the con- ventional cotton nets, too. They hang more loosely in the water and entangle the fish more. This makes for fewer drowned cod and a better quality product, PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM One highly effective way to catch well - to - suckers is to bait the trap with snob appeal.
