Let’s have a Hansard .. .

THE CURRENT SESSION of the Provincial
Legislature proves beyond a doubt that

politicians are just performers at heart, —

and that some press representatives are
only anxious to pick up items that are
sensational enough to sell newspapers.

The combination is dangerous, and the
daily newsmongers are having a heyday.

We hear reports of an inattentive
House, wherein the Premier, the Cabinet
Ministers and the backbenchers. are dis-
orderly, unmannerly, loud-mouthed and
lacking dignity and decorum. Our only
means of proof is the diatribe that eman-
ates from Vancouver newspapers and
Broadcast News service.

The Provincial Legislature has no
Hansard. There is no record kept of the
addresses made by our representatives.
There is no record of the response from
other members, There is simply no record,
and no method of recording other than
the press gallery.

We firmly believe there should be
some humour, ligthearted cajolery,
sharp wit and acuity in the Legislature but
we don't think the seat of our Govern-
ment should be a three-ring circus,

So far in the current session we have
had Dave Barrett, MLA for Dewdney, mak-
ing his reply ta the Throne Speech in
poetry; Minister of Health and Welfare,
Wesley Black, replying in parody, MLA
Gordon Gibson accusing the Premier of
aspirations to a place in the Diety, and
actual physical restraint applied to offset
a knack ‘em down, drag ‘em out rhubarb.

The press gallery lapped up the action
and we began to wonder when the real
action would begin.

Daily reports from the House have
convinced us there is little or no reverence
employed in the Legislature. Verbal reports

from local people who have visited the —

House of Parliament in Victoria, have
convinced us there is a gross jack of cour-.
tesy shown the individual speaker as he
puts forth the case for his particular con-
stituency, ;

Yes—we're canvinced, but we have no
record through which to make an honest
assessment,

All we have is a carbon copy of our
own Member's address during the Budget
Debates. Mr. Little has also fdllen prey to
the press gallery and the fallowing quote
indicates he too will resort to almost any-
thing to attract the attention of fellow
members of the House:

“Once a ferry was built on the Kalum
River to get a cow to her boyfriend. Prior
to the ferry being built, the farmer had to
swim the cow across the river's icy waters
and by the time the swim was accomplish-
ed, the cow was no longer in the mood.
If you think this was frustrating to the
farmer, think of the poor cow's feelings!
‘Twas rather expensive Government co-
operation too—but weren't the official's
faces red—when shortly ofter the ferry
was put into use, the farmer sold the
cow!"

It's likely Mr. Little's story got a big
“HO HO" but it's doubtful it produced a
movement within the Government to pro-
vide better access to the Kitwancoo! Val-
ley, At least one very productive sawmill
is operating there, even though timber has
to be transported same 45 miles out of the
way before it gets to the saws.

Had the House been attentive it's
doubtful Mr. Little would have resorted to
such methods to get his message across.
Had the House been recording for a Hans-
ard, it's doubtful Mr. Little or any other
member would even consider making such
an undignified presentation,

Let’s have a provincial Hansard!

Some of the reasons...

YOUR Heart Foundation was there...

%* When research scientists develop-
ed new techniques for diagnosing cardio-
vascular disease, including catheterization
and X-ray of blood vessels...

% =When research scientists develop-
ed the heart-lung machine to take over
the body's breathing and circulation during
surgery on the heart, so that defects inside
the heart could be repaired under direct
vision...

* When artificial pacemakers were
successfully implanted in human beings to
restore a regular beat to faltering
hearts...

%& = =When a stopped heart was started
beating again by closed-chest massage . . .

* ~~ When new drugs were developed to
treat and control high blood pressure...

% When new approaches were devel-
oped for the rehabilitation of patients suf-
fering from diseases of the heart and blood
vessels...

% When wide-ranging population
studies disclosed the correlation between
high incidence of heart disease and such
“risk-factors” as dietary fats, blood chol-
esterol and cigarette smoking...

x When the lives of countless thous-
ands were saved by these and other dis-
coveries...

All these research advances, supported
by your Heart Foundation, contributed to

_ from cardiovascular diseased

the 6.8 per cent decline in the death rate
in Canada
between 1950 and 1964. Your Heart Foun-
dation has built an impressive corps of re-
search scientists devoting their main ener-
gies to the solution of cardiovascular
problems.

At least 80 per cent of all funds
received by the Canadian Heart Foundo-
tions are committed to support of cardio-
vascular research annually. Over the years,
the Heart Fund has provided $7,955,920
for research, the equal of government as
a source of support for cardiovascular
studies in Canada,

Your Heart Foundction is needed now,
more than ever, to help break through the
barriers still standing between science and
complete knowledge of how and why heart
attacks happen, Nor do we yet know ex-
actly what causes high biood pressure, or
how and why streptococcal infections
sometimes trigger rheumatic fever, leading
to heart damage. Stilt inadequate, also, is
our knowledge of the mechanisms respon-
sible for inborn heart abnormalities,

Once we know the underlying causes
of these conditions, we will be in a pasition
to attack them fer more successfully on
two fronts: prevention and cure. The
people of this community can advance
these programs by generously supporting
the 1966 Heart Fund campaign,
