How It Works Out
it doesn‘t pay to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. It seems that Canada is faced with this prob- lem in its current high income tax rate. The point. has been made many ' times by such organizations as the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. But concrete examples are. more convincing than argument. and we have found in a recent issue of the business magazine Executive an en- lightening account of what some

capital gains. These
Panama. Venezuela. Netherlands
Antilles. Switzerland. Liechtenstein and Luxemburg—are known in fin- ancial circles as tax-haven countries.
Due to an absence of income tax. or only a nominal rate of taxation. a corporation or trust carrying on business in these countries enjoys an enviable advantage.
To qualify. the income earned by an offshore company must be prim- al‘lly from a foreign country other than the tax-haven country itself. And due to the high degree of competition in international trade. many (‘aiiadlan companies feel the facts of business life require incor- poration of tax-haven corporations.
How great is this trend? The magazme writer estimates that perhaps as many as 100 Canadian- ouned vompiinies are being incor- pm‘atcd annually in these countries to avoid paying Canadian taxes. He add. that the Canadian government could incitimatey stop this trend if it \\'.‘ill7t'tl to. How? “By recognizing that income tax rates are presently loo hub." of course.

To out" this proliletii. Pill‘llav ment appointed a committee on pro- cedure and organization which re- cently presented a preliminary re- port suggesting tightening tip of the question period and giving the Speaker more pmver to deal with the legitimacy of questions. To bal- ance this. extra sittings were sug- gested to afford opportunity for special debate-s on matters of ur— gency.
it is to lie. hoped that this re.- form. now introduced by Speaker MacNaughton. will get the support and cooperation of all parties. This is particularly important in 3 Par- liament of minorities. where there is always danger of the actual work of the house—the study of project- ed legislation and the scrutiny of expenditures~getting bogged down in charges and i'oiintcl'charges.
Making Travel EaSler
An item of interest to tourists is the report. that Canadians may soon be able to obtain "internation- al drivers‘ permits" entitling hold- ers to drive in nearly every country. When the Federal Government be- comes a signatory to the Geneva Road and Motor Convention. Cana- dians touring abroad will be accord- ed the privileges enjoyed by motor- ists of other member nations. and a vexatious situation will have been overcome.
Canada did not become a signa— tory to the Geneva pact of 1949 for the reason that Ottawa did not feel that it should usurp a function which in this country is considered a matter of provincial jurisdiction. in the interwning years the Domin- ion Automobile Association hatl sought to obtain the consent of the provincial governments to the cen- tral government signing the agree- ment. Ottawa has been negotiating with the provincial authorities. and a unanimous agreement. has almost. been reached.
Another problem of Concern to tourists in ('anada has been large- ly solved by a recent agreement. All ten provinces nave. undertaken to accept a standard card 'to show proof of liability insurance. On- tario has gone further by exempt ing visitors front the need to show such proof. Resident motorists of that province are protected in case of an accident caused by a non-re- sident. under their motor vehicle ac- cident claims fund. Ontario Trans- port. Minister Hasket has expressed the hope that other provinces will adopt similar legislation. as a move to promote a substantial increase in tourism.

How Hernia Developes
By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen
It has been estimated that one out of every 125 boys comes into the world with an inherent weak-
ness of the tissues in the groin. f This is the forerunner of hernia and there is no way to tell ahead
of time when hernia will occur. Some develop in childhood but the majority appear after the child grows up.
All that is needed is sufficient strain to tear the weakened tis- sues. such as occurs when lifting or pushing a heavy object. A sharp pain may be noted when hernia develops and moderate distress persists. Shortly there- after a protruding mass appears in the groin. Pain disappears gradually or is replaced by mild discomfort.
Others reach adulthood with- out knowing hernia is present. There is no pain or visible bulge and the condition is found only on a routine examination. The swelling in the groin represents t
. protrusion of the intestine throu- ‘ gh an abnormal opening in the
abdominal wall and is most not-
straining or coughing. Pressure within the abdomen decreases when lying down and the mas disappears like a deflated bal.
oon. What disadvantages are asso- ciated with hernia? This defect . prevents full physical efficiency. Moreover. a loop of bowe may get stuck in the small opening of the hernia. the part becomes suangulated. and gangrene of the intestine ensues. This is fatal unless the obstruction is freed through immediate operation. Surgery offers the only hope for permanent cure of hernia. The operation is not always suc- cessful. especially if the tissues have become overstrctched or the individual strains before the incision heals. A different tech-
nique is needed in such instanc- es. The area is reinforced With strips of fibrous tissue or a piece of metal mesh made from stain- les steel or tantalum. OILY AND DRY SKIN
l.. (T. writes: Why is my skin oily in summer and dry in win~ ter"
REPLY The heat of summer turns on the sweat. and oil producmg
glands full force. The opposite takes place in winter. more so because humidity is low in most
homes. apartments. and offices
during the winter months. BROKEN BLOOD VESSEL
A. S. writes: Two months ago. ‘
in stepping off the curb. lbroke a blood vessel in my right leg. What is the cause of such a mis- hep? REPLY
Blood vessels are as suscepti- ble to injury as are other soft tissues. When they break. black and blue marks appear. TODAY'S HEALTH HINT—

“O Canada" does not fill the bill in any respect instead of hastily “adopting” it merely to satisfy popular clamor. Ottawa would do better to offer a prize for the best anthem. with a 1967 deadline for entries.
And incidentally. when Canad- ians do acquire an official new anthem. there is no reason why they should not keep “God Save the Queen ’ as an official old one. The US. had two anthems for more than 100 years. Switz- erland has 22. one for each can- ton '

Regina Leader-Post
One of the most public-spirliml programs undertaken by the Re- gina Horticultural Society is the encouragement of young people to plant and tend their own gar- dens.
if Regina children apply to Mrs Kay Achtzner. 2726 Atkin- son street. they will be given seeds of marigolds. bachelor buttons. zinnias. carrots. beets and beans.
When the around becomes workable. these should be. planl- ed and all through the summer (‘hlldl‘f‘n participating in the plan must weed their gardens and tend the growing flowers.
in late summer judges from the Horticultural Society will vis- it and inspect the children‘s gar- dens and prizes will be award ed the. best entries. This judging usually takes place in August and prizes no lo the 12 best gar-
Parcnts may prepare and dig the soil. bill the children must do all the rest of the work.
The Horticultural Society ad- vises young gardeners to plan their garden on paper first. The sizo of the garden should be be tween 60 and 110 square feet.
Young gardeners are advised in planting seeds to make a shal- l0w trench with the aide blade of a line. srattor the seeds and then cover them with soil.
If the garden is watered with a fine spray and the soil is not al lowed to dry out. the
Executive Director > should coma up within a weak.
When the young plants are an inch high they should be thinned t out with an inch between a a c h plant.
Two weeks later thinning l should be carried out again. ‘
Gardens should be watered lwice a week. depending on the dryness of the growing season. Soil should be kept loose be- tween ihe flowers through con- stant use of the hoe.
Young gardeners will have to keep their plants free from pests and insects by application of chemical dusts.
The children‘s program is a matter in which the whole com- munity can take pride.
it is never too soon to slam children developing an interest in things botanical and horticul- tural and there can be no better way in training youngsters to fake a pride in their property and their city than in programs such as this.
it is to be hoped that as many Regina parents as possible Wlll encourage their children to take part in the scheme.

A Show Of Good Will
By Joseph MacSween Canadian Press Staff Writer
The new .iuclear move be- tween the Russians and the Anglo~Amerieans is in itself
nothing more than a friendly gesture—bu; it could amount to a good deal more in the future.
There was nothing sacrificial about the announcements by President Johnson and Premier Khrushchev about cutting the
" overproduction of fissionable
materials for warheads.
To realize how far away this is from actual disarmament it is only necessary to recall Johnson's statement in January that the United States and the Soviet Union now have enough nuclear weapons stockpiled to "equal 10 tons of TNT for every man, woman and child on the face of the earth."
is new decision. of course. does not scuttle any bombs in being. it is as if children on
guard in a field of snow threw . some surplus snow over the‘
fence. keeping intact thei
stockpile of snowballs.
GOODWILL SHOWN
Only when they start throw- ing away the snowballs will dis- armament begin and the other kids know anything like real as- curity. And ' don‘t kindly to scuttling snowballs.
Yet most people find consid- erable encouragement in the Khrushchev - Johnson move— even in that they were able to synchronize th e i r announce- ments with a show of good will.
This follow-up to the test-ban treaty is seen as a welcome ad-
vance. although it is Well to re- member that the treaty is not. complete and the nuclear cuts are not subject to independent checks of any '
Some observers see a danger that such heralded events as the Washington - Moscow an- nouncements will becloud the actual disarmament which —- everyone hopes —— is being nes gotiated by the l7-nation East- West committee in Geneva. PROGRESS ABSENT
The test-barn treaty does not preclude development of ever-
take 1
morodeadly weapons and. in fact, the U.S. now claims to have obtained “important infot- lmation" in this direction in
? recent months.
The absence of progress at ; Geneva has been underlined by t the cold reception given by tht| , Russian delegate to a US. pro- posal for a freeze on stratezir- . missiles. The hope is that the i Geneva talks now will take more '
Overhanging the whole inat- E ter is the billion-dollar question of how Red China is to brought into disarmament gotiations. .

Behind The Scenes
Globe and Mall. Toronto
Since his retirement from pol- itical life. Mr. Donald Fleming. former Conservative Finance Minister and Justice Minister. has maintained what he calls “a policy of public silence". It is not quite leak-proof. however and Mr. Fleming allows an oc- casional tantalizing phrase to escape. He onceded a few weeks ago that he had been let down by people be trusted im- plicitly. and more recently he said that while he was a Cabinet minister he often felt he was playing the role of the goal.
Mr. Fleming confessed to an urge to write a behind-the- scen-
. es political autobiography but
added that he had not yet given in to it and did not want to hurt anybody. He should be encour- aged in this project. Some of the most intriguing periods of Can- adian political history cry out
for the kind of explanation that can come only from someone who was intimately involved.
if the mistakes of the past are to be avoided and the art of gov- ernment improved. politicians must learn from the lessons of history. Their chances of doing so will be greatly improved if the gaps in that history can be filled in by the authentic recol~ lections of a participant rather than the speculative writings of others.
Nor should Mr. Fleming feel bound to set the record straight only by the written word. The political platform is still avail< able to him and many Canad- ians would be pleased to see him mount it. again to speak frankly on topics which hitherto have been submerged in his self- imposed vow of silence.
