No Party
Stands Strong

If ever the political climate
was made to order for a third
party to sweep Canada, now
would seem the time. The Con-
servative party is in disarray,
and the Liberal machine fs in
disrepute.

But polltical reality does not
always match the climate. De-
spite the apparent confusion

* within the ranks of the federal,
old line parties, only. the rosiest
of optimists would at New Year
1965 predict any radical success-
es for either New Democrats or
(Soctal Crediters.

‘The Liberal party, hammered
by tho winds of biculturism and
caught up in the back lash of the
flag debate, is now. sf

In a sea of corruption charges.

The Conservatives,. having
thrown overboard what little
Quebec support the party once
had, from new
sounds of mutiny among its par-
Mamentary crew. Nut even the
reliable old hands of the West-

~ ern farm vote can any longer be
counted on for sure support.

_ Under normal efrcumstances,
the strong opposition status of
the Conservatives could be ex-
pected to be enhanced when a
government finds itself in such
‘an embarrassing position.

But the situation is not nor-
‘mal, The Conservatives find
themselves under John Diefen-
baker with very little prospect
of effectively promoting them-
selves as an alternative to th
Liberals, S

The Conservatives have long
since thrown away their big city
support along with their Quebec
strength. Their position has not
notably improved in either the
West or the Maritimes.

The year 1964 marked Cana-
da’s greatest economic advance
since the war. Although the ma-
tion has not had the kind of deci-
sive leadership at Ottawa which
it wants, things have not gone
badly.

When Canada’s. voters sent
two parties back to Ottawa in
1963 with almost equal arengit

- This fs all the more tragic in -

that the Pearson Liberals have

made brave, if so far not.very
ccessful attempts to deal with

handled with his big parllamen-
tary majority.

As prime minister with 207
followers in the House, Mr, Die-
fenbaker would have exper-
fenced no great difficulty in
bringing down a, national flag,
introducing a universal pension
plan or medicare, reforming our
tax laws, reorganizing the de-
fense establishment, promoting
urban renewal, redistributing
House seats to conform to popu-
lation changes, writing a new
labor code, or legislating for a
new Confederation offering a
new role for Quebec.

The fact is that Mr. Pearson,
even though he is a minority
prime minister, bas attempted
to do all these things.

But Canadians are now more
interested, I believe, In a gov-
ernment with a majority than a
government with a “vision.”
And this is why no third party,
be it the New Democrats, Social
Credit, or a Socred-Conservative
meee at a Confederation
Party, much response.
among the anes 1965,

Mr, Pearson will finish his
second year in office this spring.
He would probably be ready
now to go back to the people but
for the scandals which have re-
cently tarnished his cabinet.

His only hope, as he prepares
for the February reopening of
Parliament, is that he will be,
able to polish his government's
image and get more legislation
through the House in the next
session.

Mr. Diefenbat:zr, meanwhile,
will have to quiet. the seeds of
rebellion within his own ranks if
he is to earn another chance at
the prime minister's residence
before age forces him to step
down.

Keeping Your
DEAR SUSANNA: Here is
how I keep our family’s hair
brushes and combs clean and it
only takes a few minutes. Gath-
er them all up, comb the loose
hafr out of the brushes, fill the
pasin with hot water, pour in a
little liquid ammonia (you'll find
it under a trade name on your
grocer’s shelf for around 25
cents), then put in the brushes
and combs.

Let thera soak for a while and

the soil falls out like magic — .

even from the boy’s combs who
uge so much cream. f
Rinse well and Jay them all
out on a towel to dry. .
B.P.

Now that we have the brushes
and combs clean, let’s give'our-
selves a bouffant hairdo. Fine
and dandy. But how do we keep
it fluffed while we sleep? One of
the tricklest ideas Is to take a
long, long: strip of tollet tissue
(pink or blue looks quite nice)”
and wrap it lightly and softly

-around your hairdo like a tur

ban. Use pin curlers to fasten it
down carefully.

Now toddle off to bed without
a worry in the world, safe in the”
knowledge that you will wake up
in the morning looking tike’ Ma-
dam DuBarry instead of Sally of

SUGAR AND SPICE.
‘Winter Leaves Him Cold

‘This Is the time of year when
the average honest citizen, how-
ever bravely he tries to conceal
it, is about as. warm, llvely and
full of vitality as the discarded
Christmas tree leaning drunken-
ly against the back steps, a few
morsels of tinsel fluttering from
ita prematurely aged frame,

Prematurely aged. That's the
way I feel in January. Like a
woman of 35 who has had'twelve
children in fifteen years. As
though I can’t face {t again.

By the middle of February, of
course, I'll be all cheered up,
and will be golng around like all
the other idiots, blithely agree-
ing that “the days sure are
stretching out, aren't they?”
But right now I look upon ‘life
with the wild enthuslasm of a
man-eating tiger confronting a
bowl of cornflakes,

First, and worst, part of the
January miseries is that hideous
struggle to get out of the sack.
Crawling out of the warm drow-
siness into the grey horror of
the day is'as desperate a bus!-
ness as any I know, There are
days when I’m sure I'll never
make it, were it not for the
voices demanding help with clo-
thing and breakfast, and the to-
tal silence from the other side of
the bed.

Finally, having survived the
first hour of the day, there's the
dash for the car,.a’ feat that
ranks, in my mind, with Hi-
lary’s dash for the South Pole.
Big difference Is that Sir Ed-
mund didn’t leave bis galoshes
at the office yesterday. .

There’s nothing I enjoy more,
ia the summer, than reading
about the simple pleasures of
oldtime winters. Slelghbells, the
erunching of snow underfoot, the
snapping of trees in the frost,
the smiling midwinfer sun on
the. snow, jolly oO

‘The slefghbells are more like-
ly to be fire sirens as some poor
devil sets the ‘pipes on’ fire,
trying to stay allve, The crunch-
ing underfoot is more likely to
be your toes breaking off by the
numbers, from the right. Tho
snapping is more Wkely to be the
roof of the back porch caving in
under the snow. No self-respect-
ing fairy would be caught dead
under.the January sun, which’
smiles at you with all the genial-
ity of a cold fried egg. The gath-
erings are more likely to be me-_.
lancholy huddles of taxpayers
exchanging cold remedies and
talking about their furnaces,

Winter is fine, up until New
Year's, After that, you can give
it to the Russians, In fact, if
they ever Invade us, they should
do ft in January! Half the popu-
lation is in Florida, The other
half is down with the ‘flu.

I wouldn't even give this coun-
try back to the Indians, in mid-
winter. In the first place, they
wouldn't take it, In the second,
we've handed them enough bum
deals in the past.

It's enough to curdle your
bicod when you hear people
duck into the coffee shop, faces
gray with cold, noses running
and wheering: ‘Isn't that a
grand winter’s day,’” as they
blow on thelr claw-like floyers,
before wiping the steam fro)
thelr specs. :

Seems to me that we all suffer
from an advanced case of self- -
deception. Just because our an-
cestors couldn't imagine any-
thing -worse: than’ thelr Irish
shanties, Itallan slums or Polish
‘villages and came to Canada,
we think we're automatically
tugged and physically: fitted to
endure the climate which fast-
ens on us everywhere but in the
South.
