But it shouldn't be this way. We must use Nasional Health Week as a pilot pro- ject’ and follow it through the year yound, , As the minister of national health and welfare states: “Good health is something that can't be bought, beg- cd, borrowed or stolen. It is some- thing that some of us have and others spend a lifetime trying to obtain, and, pddly enough, it is something that far loo many of us take for granted.” . The minister says that National Houlth Week “is a time in which each tnd every Canadian should take stock ur his own health and that of his fam- JAMES K. NESBITT i \ { 5 ily.” Prince Rupert is not excluded in this respect. A well-balanced health program is necessary, the Canadian Medical As- sociation says. It goes on: “Among the’ factors essential to the people’s health are adequate nutrition, good housing, exercise and leisure. High on the health program is the wise and sen- sible conduct of the individual and his acceptance of personal responsibility.” Governor General Georges P. Van- jer puts it logically: “Few people would put a match to a weekly pay cheque. To do so would be obviously wasteful and stupid. Yet, every day, there are people who in effect do just that. By neglecting their health or the health of others. they incur expenses, under- mine security and foster unhappiness, In disregarding the obvious they de- stroy the hope and opportunity of the future.” . To use the words of Mr. Vanier for an appropriate sum-up: “With health anything seems possible, witheut it everything seems impossible, Health is the key to so many doors, Why not use it?” —~ A look at next week's federal election _ ViCTORIA—On Monday next it will happen — we, the people, will go to the polling booths and try to make order out of chaos. Our heads are spinning, and no wonder. The politicians of all shades have been popping off every which way. For what it’s worth, I make no secret of the fact that I'm going to vote Liberal because I’m strongly North American. I do not want Can- ada to be made a ridiculous, troublesome little isiand. Iam appalled at the way Conservatives and NDP’ers would have Canada sponge on the US4 for protection. As for Social Credit, I cant make up my mind at all what it stands for. except confusion. Conservatives do not only try to divide Cangdians and Americans, but they try to civide western Canadians from eastern Cana- dians, in a desperate effort, I suppose, to con- quer all con election day, , Acriculture Minister Alvin Hamilton, of Sas- katchewan, says that Social Credit leader Tncmpson, of Alberta, plotted with Toronto Hiusneiers to remove Prime Minister John Die- fenbaker from office. This, according to Hamilton, is partitularly bad, because Thomp- sen is a westcrner and so is Dicfenbaker, and therefor Thompscen is a traitor to the west. Wid you ever hear tell of such nonsense ag that? {don’t like the way our PM and NDP leader Tommy Douglas say Liberal leader Pearson gets hex orders from Washington. I think that is pure jealousy on the part of Messrs, Diefen- hiber and Douglas, beeause Washington has The By LUBOR J. ZINK VANCOUVER (TNS). Last week Agriculture Minister Al- pressed never taken either of them very seriously. I am glad Pearson has come right out and said that if he’s elected PM he’ll right off seek a meeting with President Kennedy. I think that took courage, in view of all his political enemies are saying about him licking the Kennedy boots. It’s a great fight the PM’s waging, and I admire him for it. and I like the quiet, sincere and pleasant looks of Mrs, Diefenbaker. But underneath all the whipped-up drama and the wild shoutings I eannot figure out what My. Diefenbaker stands for. except a vague Canada for Canadians, whatever that means. He doesn’t tell us how he’s going to accomplish this, except by trying to punch Uncle Sam in the nqse. He doesn’t tell us what will happen to us if he pushes Americans and their lovely Collars out ef this country. That's natural, I suppose. You could hardly expect him to tell us we'd all fall flat on our faces Yes, Monday’s a big day. In Ottawa, the experts predict a record 86 per cent turn-out of the voters. I hope that’s so. It may sound like a cliche, but I'd say this is just about the most important election in our history. For the first time, the people of Great Britain and the United States, of Japan and Russia, of all the Americans, including Cuba, have their eyes on us as Canadians. In this election we will prove whether we're North Americans, or whether we're nothing but a litde backwater, sensitive, pompous and silly, just a nuisance to our friends and neighbors, a spoiled brat stick- lng oul cur tongue at the adults around us.

EDITOR'S NOTE~—This -is the last in a= series of an address given by Jenkin Lloyd Jones, editor of the Tulsa Ok- lahoma Tribune, to the In- land Daily Press Association, The fifth part of Mr. Jones’ speech was carried in yester- day’s Daily News. By JENKIN LLOYD JONES Tulsa Tribune Editor It is time we hit the saw- dust trail. It is time we re- vived the idea that there is such a thing as sin — just plain old willful sin. It is time we brought self - discipline back into style. And who has a greater responsibility at this hour than we, the gentlemen of the press? Ss I suggest: Let’s look to our educational institutions at the local level, and if Johnny can’t read by the time he’s ready to get mar- ried let’s find out why. Let’s look at the distribution of public largesse and if, far from alleviating human -mis- ery. it is producing the sloth and irresponsibility that in- tensifies it, let’s get it fixed:: Let’s quit being bulldozed and bedazzled by self-appoint- ed longhairs. Let’s have the guts to say that a book is dirt. if that’s what we think of it, or that a painting may well be a daub if you can’t figure out which way to hang it. And if seme beatnik welds together a collection of rusty cogiwheels and old corset stays and claims it’s a greater sculpture than Michelangelo’s ‘David’ let’s have the courage to say that it looks like junk and probably is ‘Let’s blow the whistle on plays that would bring Elushes to an American Legion stag party.

I never dreamed I'd go around sounding like an advance man for the Watch- and-Ward Scciecy. I used to consider myself quite a liberal young man. I still think that on some people bikinis look fine, But I am fed up to here with educationists and pseudo-so- cial scientists who have under- rated our potential as a people. Iam fed up to here with the medicine men who try to pass off pretense for art and pru- rience for literature. I am tired of seeing America debas- ed and low-rated in the eyes of foreigners. And I am genu- inely disturbed that to idealis- tic youth in many countries the fraud of Communism ap- pears synonymous with moral- ity, while we, the chief reposi- tory of real freedom, are re- garded as being in the last Stages of decay.
