Division of the Canadian Weakly Newspapers Association; and Audit Bureau of Circylations. 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, © King Features Syndicate, Inc. 1966. World sights reserved.
