Govérnment members are making much of statistics which show that the number of “unemployed has de- creased considerably in recent weeks; while Opposition members, for their part, are complaining that little is being’ done to ward off sea- sonal slackness. It would be better.if both, sides were to stop behaving as if a_gene- ral election were in the offing. and tackle the problem in earnest. The Liberals might be a bit more con- structive and helpful in their criti- cism; and the Gdvernment would be well advised to take whatever steps are possible now rather than wait until winter has arrived. Labor Minister Starr has said, for instance, that \ certain changes in the un- employment insurance formula have been under consideration but that these will probably have to be post- poned to the ‘next session. This, we think, is a mistake. There is cer- ’ tainly no compelling reason why the present session should adjourn next week or at any particular time. It should be kept going so long as there is any urgent business to’ discuss; and certainly unemployment and how to/keep it from getting out of reasonable. bounds next winter are - matters: of urgency. If these matters are not dealt with riow, it will be the middle of January or, more likely, the middle of February before they can be touched. And that will be much too late to render effective whatever measures are decided upon. Reaching Into Space: ‘The failure of the first ‘U.S. moon rocket Has been a disappointment; but perhaps “failure” is not the right word. The extraordinary thing, in the words of a British expert, is that, the rocket was launched at all in this, early stage. A faint indication of just how complicated the problem is re- vVeals itself in the bare description of What the rockets fired at Cape Cana- veral were expected to do. * The Thor first stage was to have exhausted its fuel and dropped away 2 minutes and 87 seconds after’ launching. By then the total missile, - weighing some 100,000 pounds, would have ‘been over twice as high as it aetually got. Then the Vangard sec- ond stage would have taken over and set the rocket spinning, with eight small rockets giving it flight stability. The second stage main engine would have given a mighty thrust outward. Atop the 4,000-pound liquid propell- ant second stage was a solid fuel third stage with a thrust of 2;500 pounds— énough to accelerate the rocket vio- lenty to the 25,000-miles-an-hour ve-. lecity needed to escape the earth’s gravity. > After the third stage had been ex- pended the rocket was to have coast- ed moonward for some five minutes while electronic computers:'on the ground calculated any deviations from the desired course and speed. These deviations, if any, would have heen corrected by the firing of small ° pairs of rockets. Thus aimed, the roc- ket would have continued toward the moon for over 2% days. Suck ie As it came to within 50,000 or 60,- apo miles of the moon, a 3,000-pound thrust terminal rocket in its forward end was\to have been fired by, radio signal from Hawaii. This rocket was geared to adjust the probe to the speed and course required: for an: or- - bit around the moon. - If it had achieved an elliptical or- bit 50,000 miles from the moon, the rocket would have taken five to seven days to get around that silvery satel- lite. Its batteries would have kept its tameras going for about two weeks. It might then have become a perman- ent lunar satellite or escaped. into outer space or fallen back into the ‘earth’s atmosphere to be destroyed by friction. The trouble this time was in the rocket’s first stage, the modified Thor intermediate-range ballistic mis- sile, which exploded eight miles up in the sky 77 seconds after the blast- off. In so incredibly complicated an undertaking men must try and try again. Clearly, it will be a scientifife achievement of the highest orden Just to put the apparatus together and get it off the ground was a great accomplishment. ee 7 Mr. Eisenhower's Program It is hayd to see how any reason- able person could find fault with President Eisenhower’s suggested /economic program for the Arab states. Although the President em- phasized that any program that ‘might be put into operation should be managed by the Arabs them- selves, everyone knows that the cost would have to be met largely by the United States’ treasury, with some help from Britain, France, Canada and a few other countries. It would run into hundreds of millions of dol- lars, perhaps billions. Yet, there is hardly a chance of ‘the prograrh’s being accepted. Presi- dent Nasser of the United Arab Republic has called it a “cover for imperialistic aggression”. Russian leaders have used similar phrases. How .can there be any hope of allaying the fears and tensions of the Middle East so long as every constructive | suggestion from the West, every plea for peace and understanding, every concession to Arab nationalistic ambitions, is treated with; suspicion and segrn? 4 Cattle Sales 2% According to Western cattlemen, ‘this is going to be a good year for sales of Canadian cattle to the United States. Ross Thatcher, for- mer member of Parliament for Moose Jaw-Lake Center who has a ranch near Moose Jaw, said the other day ‘that in past years drought in large areas of the United States forced many farmers there to unload cattle. Meanwhile, big crops in the Canadian Prairies forced farmers to build ‘up beef herds to use ‘the sur- have ‘bumper crops and they are searching for feeder cattle to rebuild herds. Canadian farmers, on the other hand—on the Prairies, that is —are faced with the worst feed and will have to reduce their herds by selling unfinished cattle. ‘You'll find the American buyers swarming cattle back by the carload”, Mr. Thatcher stated. id Ny There is no -great shortage of feed in this part of the cquntry, ac- cording to late reports. Still, of course, any increase in American area as well. The emphasis here, cattle, since that is where the West- ern shortage will mainly lie.

Ottawa has long suspected that something was very wrong concerning the transfer of this government de- partment from Ottawa to a costly -new marble - halled palace in the city of Hull, Quebec. Then the House of Commons ‘Committee. on Public Accounts, set' up by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker to check on the spending of the taxpayers’ mon- ey, decided to investigate these rumours. The committee made the laudable but novel decision to appoint one of its members to unfold the basie story by con- ducting the examination - in - chief of the witnesses. This heavy task, which called for more than 100 hours of résearch. work be- ‘fore the open committee hearings could begin, was entrusted to a rookie Conservative M.P. but experienced legal counsel, Dayid Walker of Toronto. ng Bureau Scandal By Patrick Nicholson : j Special Correspondent for The Guardian contract. bridge as the subject. yy Mr. Walker opened the subject with a series of questions design- of the planning and building of the new government office. When he has thus. supplied the com- mittee with the basic facts in logi- ‘eal. sequence, other members ‘will be able to ask their own sup- plementary questions to elaborate their chosen aspects of the story, Chairman of this watchdog com- | mittee is Alan Maenaughton, a Liberal lawyer. His appointment ensures that the chairman’s rul- ings shall not favour the Conser- vative: government. This innova- tion was made at the insistence of Prime Minister Diefenbaker, | Who had so bitterly < 1 so just- ifiably resented the gagging of parliamentary committees by prejudiced government chairmen during the Liberal rule. The Printing Bureau story re- vealed to date is just this. The Liberal Cabinet decided in 1948 to build a new printing bureau; and the estimated cost was $6,00 000. But the money spent up to the end of this year, and the build- ing will still be incomplete, will be not six milion but. in “excess of sixteen million dollars. There has been severe criticism projects to move branches of. government out of Ottawa into Liberal strongholds in Quebec Province. For example, the Na- tional Film Board was moved at unjustifiable expense into a cost- ly soundproofed building on a site adjourned a busy airfield in Mr. Magnaughton’s own eonstit- uency near Montreal. For the new Printing Bureau, the Liber- ed to elucidate the whole story here of the Liberal Government's | als selected a site in Hull, as a reward for it always electing Li- berals to Parliament. NO NEED TO DISPERSE . Ottawa is large enough to of- fer decentralisation without gov- ernment offices haying to be mov- ed into another province. By the} Same token, surely Quebec is large enough for a printing works to be sited somewhere except ex- travagantly upon a running stream, where the multi - million dollar building will be perman- ently afloat and the bilge pumps continuously operating. — This ‘was not enough. Work then had to be precipitately be- gun before plans were ready, be- cause an election was imminent and the government wanted to use big work projects to attract votes. Eight such large hoies;were dug in Canada at that time, mostly in large cities. One was filled in later, after the local vot- ers had duly elected the’ Liberal candidate. — : Hearings of the committee, which Liberal partisans unjustifi- ably describe as résembling “the MeCarthy witch - hunt in the States,” are unearthing de- tails of unsavoury transactions. These hearings have been, re- markably for the personal duel. between Liberal ex - Cabinet Minister Pickersgill and cookie Conservative M.P. David Walker. It is a one - sided duel, and with Walker’s,| sharp mind and facile tongue winning every nd with a knock - out, observers are commenting that whilst Pickers- gill was-one of the brain - trust- ers of the former Liberal Cabin- et, the more able Walker has not]. rated a seat in the new Conser- vatv cabinet. This comparison evidences ‘the superior ability of our new government, they say. Could be. But the hearings sug- gest that the new government may also be better trusted with our fax money. ; _ Scientists are moving into a field that has long iptrigued fish- ermen: ‘the psychology and ha- bits of thout, Psychologists have cleared up one mystery: wihy hatchery trout were disappearing within a few days of being intnoduged into streams. Tt was found that hateherymen fed their charges by tossing food onto the water. Fer the trout, a splash came to be a chow-call. Released in streams, they con- tinued to surface at a splash. This was fatal, because the splash was generally made by an ot- ter, a blue heron, or a fisher- men’s fly. Hiatcherymen were persuaded to give trout a mild eléctrie sheck when they surfaced after a splash Such training has made hatchery- reared fish as wary as their na- tive brothers. RELATED TO SALMON Trout are closely related to sal- mon, the National Geographic Society says. Like salmon, they generally go ‘up streams to Spawn. The eggs hatch in about Six. weeks. Each newly hatched trout carries a large yolk-sac for nourishment. After the sac is gone, the trout is on its own. With abundant food, the trout srows rapidly. Sometimes, as with cutthroat trout, it may even reach a weight\of 40 pounds, al- though this is extremely rare. STUDYING TROUT : The cutthroat trout of 7,735-foot high Yellowstone Lake in Wyom- ing are justly famous among fish- ermen. These handsome fish take nearly any kind of bait in the springtime, sometimes an ang- ler can catch one in the cold water of the lake, and scarcely moving a step, cook his prize in a hot spring on shore. The Yellowstone trout spawn in May or June in the’ smaller creeks to which the adults have migrated after the ice has. mel- ted. Yellowstone Lake is unique, according to an Interior Depart- ment report, in that one vace of cutthroats swims downstream to spawn. Some Yellowstone trout even cross the Continenat] Div- ide during their migrations, and visit the waters oa the other Studying Trout Psychology | National Geographic Society side of the Rocky Mountains. This can happen because the head- ‘waters cif streams going down op- posite sides of the mountains are occasionally joined. aN WHAT TROUT EAT ‘ Scientists are trying to deter- mine what makes a trout select a given site to build its nest. The distriftntion of gravel in the stream bed, the size and shape of the gravel, the temperature of the water, and the flow of the stream may play a part. Ifthe scientists learn what a trout eon- siders an ideal spot for nesting, conservationists may -be able to do a better job of getting trout | ted. “into desired areas. © How to catch the fish is till the angler’s problem.

One cap- tured’ specimen had consumed a small piece of bacon, a bit of wax candle, pieces of celery, onion, worms, and snails; a burnt matchstick, part of a shaving brush, and a hunk of coal.

The potential opened up by the Western slash in trade restrictions with the Communists must be viewed against a background of ing about one-third of the world's population. : But just because Canada and her allies have agreed to allow the Reds to buy a lot of goods previously banhed does net mean the Reds will swarm into the West with huge contracts.

There will have to be more visits to Peiping, Mos- cow and other Communist centres by Canadian businessmen and government officials.

There may be: entice- ments. such. as special barter deals, in which Canadian busi- nessmen may be at a distinct disadvantage. , The Communists may attempt to exploit the Western desire and need for markets for political propaganda.

It is doubted in Officials quarters whether the Chinese have any large quantities of dol- lars available for Canadian pur- chases, though thé officials say it is possible that some boost in Chinese trade could be expected to emerge from recognition. RECOGNITION AN ISSUE ° Weighed against this possibility is strong United States opposition to recognition. Though some Ca- nadian authorities privately ques- tion the Canadian and American positions, Canada ‘has gone along with the U.S. on this issue, prob- ably to demonstrate strong North American solidarity in defence co- operation. ; tt is difficult to see’ the Cana- dian government breaking away from this policy ‘simply because of the possibility of getting a few more dollars in trade. Nevertheless it is known that the Canadian administration will lose no opportunity to explore the Communist market, particularly for primary resources exports, such as wheat and other grains and metals. The Communists have shown particular. interest in gebling more metals, such as Growing Need For Vitamin C By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. WHILE we should eat plenty of fruits throughout our lives, they become especially impor- tant as we grow older. As you advance in years, your need for Vitamin C becomes greater. Vitamin C is essential to help keep your tissues strong and healthy to prevent tender gums and to ward off infections. SLOWS CONVALESCENCE Convalescence often slows down considerably with aging, and here again Vitamin C is extremely important, since it hastens the healing process. “Now your body uses this need- ed vitamin very rapidly. It needs a fresh supply every day. You can get an ample supply simply by eating plenty of fruits, espec- All citrus fruits, such as orang- es and grapefruit, are rich in eanned, whole or juice. Tomato- es also are good, especially the vine - ripened kind. Again, the tomatoes ean be fresh, canned or in juice form. AMOUNT NEEDED Just one - half cup of citrus juice or a full cup of tomato juice each day will give’ you all the Vitamin C you need. The other fresh fruits, such as*peans, amples and bananas, contain some Vitamin ¢, but in lesser amounts. While they can’t take the place of citrus fruits in our diet, they ean he used to add variety to your meals er they can be eaten between meals. Canned and dried non - citrus fruits contain little if any Vita- min C. That doesn’t. es that you should not eat them, of course ea they are valuable in pro- viding other vitamins and min- ‘\erals which aid digestion and help prevent constipation.
