Potential Danger

Wltrn Adolf Hitler of unlamented memory started his beer-hall antics ill the late 30's. nobody in official

, circles. from local bourgomasters to the lmitlvrs of tht: Republic. took him or his rnurly brown-shirts seriously. Yet, from these same beer-halls there derived a force which plunged the world into the sorrows and de- vastations of war. Now. a militant organization known as the ”Sl90l lielmcts", which in point of facl ls older than Xa1.isin and. iii a sense. its stIll'ill,l.'li sttct-cssoi'. is parading.

heating drums in lit? same i1PPl'-li'rlliF and claiming the same right to speak. and fight if need be. for the national honour of

Ger'niatiy. Anti. once again, so re-

ports say. most German (ioxernment officials are refusing to see anything potentially dangerous in the de-

velopment. uhich is growinz illlll

each passinl: month. The only annoying possibility

sutzinz. and

these officials appear to recognize ll that the Communists of East Ger- many may take offence at the go- lngs-on of the ”Steel Helmets" and thus precipitate inter-zone friction. It might be pointed out, however, that as Hitler took the rival organiz- ation under his control in 1932, so the leader of the present group is quite capable of absorbing into his organimtlon all political dissidents. including the Communists, should he consider such a move advantag- eous to his and his organization's ambitions. As for the Communists. in both zones. it can be presumed that their dislike of the new German democracy is stronger than their dis- like of the neo-Nazism.

The Nazis. it will be remembered, began to take on the status of a iiangerous force in German life about ten years after the defeat of Ger- many in World War One. The same length of time has passed since the end of World War Two. The be- haviour of the. ”Steel Helmets". add- ed to the coincidental arithmetical reckoning, would suggest at possible repetition of history, if the com- placency that met. the rise of Hitler and his brown-shirts is allowed to become the fashion in the present instance.

Her Majesty Her Nit

Clearly. relations between Egypt and Britain are not as cordial as they ought to be; and to Egypt”: loss, since it is obvious that the place once occupied by the British in Egypt): politics and economy is be- ing sought. by the Soviets, whose re- cord in other spheres of influence does not warrant much good cheer on the part of the Egyptians. But. there is one Egyptian field in which the British have a virtual monopoly. and a monopoly which, apparently, Premier Nasser and his political fol- lowers have no desire to terminate. This is the field of archaeology, Egypt's greatest claim to fame. While scientists of other countries have participated in the unearthing of buried ruins in that storied land, the British have taken the lead in almost every important discovery. The latest. tomb to be opened to the light of science is that of Her Majesty Her Nit. who reigned in splendour. as befitted the Pharaoh dtvnasty. more than 5000 years ago. It was opened by a British scientist. Dr. Walter B. Emery. of the Univer- sity of London.

The precious stones and other articles of value found in the queen's tomb will. no doubt. be handed over to Premier Nasser”: treasury or, it may be. to his own personal collec- tion. What. the Premier's emotional reaction to the discovery will be will probably not be disclosed for public infomiation. Perhaps. like most other laymen, he will see in it a re- minder of Egypt's ancient glory. that and nothing more. But if he happens to be. of a romantic turn of minde- as most revolutionaries seem to be. in a sort of cynical way-it is pog. Ible that the discovery may haw lliflo little effector: hi dtllillgl with his Israeli neighbours, who during their history have been tied in with

speculate on Queen Her t Nit's pan-l ticular relations with the Hebrews. Was she like a later pharaoh, gam- eses the Second, who compelled his Hebrew subjects to make bricks without straw, or did she resemble another of her lineal descendants who befriended Joseph. one of the great heroes of Hebrew history?

Brain Trust

President Eisenhower's plan for setting up a "rotating advisory board” of private citizens to advise the government in th e f-Zlobll struggle with Communism will sug- gest different implications to differ- ent persons. Some wil see in it an attempt to separate one of the big issues of our time from the machin- ations and dilatory pmcesscs of party politics, which. theoretically at any rate. may be a 20001 Wing- Critics of the administration. espec- ially Democratic Party licntls. will say that the President and his cab- inet are trying to transfer their constitutional responsibilities to out- siders. They will go further and sug- gest that, by his own adniisslon. MIX Eisenhower is incapable oi glyitn: proper leadership in this critical hour. This. of course. is not uhnt the President had in mind at all: never- theless, it makes a good pt-o-clot-tlozr story. and the Democrats t-an scat-

cely be blamed for SDt'Patllti;: it around.

All specttlations asitlc. the pro- posed plan is certainly a d.-p.u-titre

from custom: and a great many leg- islators. of both parties. are not R0- ing to be pleased over the inference that the ”besi. brains". ulllch thP President mentioned in his speech before the American Sot-iPl.V Oi Newspaper Editors. have to hr sought outside of Congress.

The fact that Mr. Eisenhower went to great lengths in his speech to deny the charge that the United States is losing the cold war (the. editors themselves look that position by a majority of two to one) shows that he himself is a bit uneasy over the way things are going. Indeed. that uneasiness may be the con- trolling reason behind his ”adyisory board"-or. as some call it, his "brain t-rust"e--proposal.

EDITORIAL NOTES

What. Senator Kefauver lacks in one political gift he makes up in an- other; witness, his philosophic com- ment on the victory of his rival. Mr. Stevenson, in Illinois: ”We Demo- crats are glad when a fellow Demo- crat adds t.o the evidence that this will be a Democrat year".

We're all used to tweeds. cash- meres and steel ships as products of Scotland. But. the. Christian Science Monitor has called attention to a new product for export to the Un- ited States. Two Aberdeen men have been asked by an American bait firm to catch and export 10,000,000

fishing worms. U 0 I

it seems that Senator Kefauvcr is adopting a magnanimous attitude towards some of his rivals. The other day. for instance. he decided not to enter the Massachusetts Primary and. instead. t.o ask support for Representative Mccormack who is running as a favourite son. He said he hoped Mr. Mccormark would receive a hearty vote.

A report from Vancouver will hr welcomed by fishery crews even"- where. It tells of a new experiment in preserving fish at sea by pumpintz salt water in the vessel's hold and keeping it at a temperature of 30 de- grees. So far. only a couple of traw- lers have used the system but those found it to be a great success. and this year several boats are being provlrlcfl with the necessary equip- ment. It sounds so simole-and so much easier than the old method of icing the fish-that it is a wonder if was not introduced before.

According to Professor R. E. Jamieson. Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at McGiil University. Canadian industry "will simply have to make do at present with a short supply of engineers". There are nearly three well paid jobs available for every engineer graduating from I Canadian university this yearea prospect which is causing deep con- cern to industry and university en- gineering faculties. It is estimated that about 1700 engineers would be graduating from Canadian univer- sities this Spring Ind that there would be approximately 4000jobc available for ten.

Parliamentary Attendance

By Patrick Nicholson

The attendance at votes in Far- liament in recent days has high- lighted the extant ofaliscntccism among our Sl0.000 per year .'ii.Ps.

Even earlier in the session. t.hcn debates raged on our Number One Tonic - wheat . the attendance was meagre.

This has one typical Wt-rinr.sda.V afternoon. The late-returning Que- lieckers must admit that the pre- vious week-cnd had finished and the early-leaving Ontarians could hardly claim that the following week-end had already begun.

Yet by actual count. there were only 58 M.Ps. sitting in the House.

Where were the other 207 mem- bers? And what were those 58 at- tenders doing?

Two good questions The Wednes- day sitting is not arduous. The House meets at 2.30 p.m. and adlourns at 6 p.m. Not long hours. for the 327.32 daily pay which every M1 is paid by the taxpayers for every day of every week of this Leap Year.

Of the M.Ps present while the wheat-farmersl plight. less than ll": M.Ps. were talking: one on his feet addressing the House. and the nth- crs stage-whispering in groups of two and three. Sixteen M.P.'s

- were reading newspapers. which

page boys had fetched from the Reading Room. Nine M.P.'s were writing probably "My dear Wife" or similar compositions.

So much for the interest shown in wheat.

'l'hcn I went into the Senate. By chance there were the same mun- bcr of legislators attending there as in the House of Commons - fifty- eight.

Bill the Senate is of course much smaller, with A maximum size of 102 compared to 265 in the Commons. and with ll vacancies then as compared to none in the Commons.

So the Senate was sixty-four per cent present. while the Commons was more than seventy-eight per cent absent. 1 repeat. seventy- eight per cent absent. g

At the present stage of the par- liamentary session. many commit- tees are meeting at frequent inter-

-The Age Old Story

And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrlellb. Which. when they were come to Antioch, spake . preaching the

vals. Some !ii.Ps. sit on several committees. and the overlapping membership net-essitzttes some ('0 mitiecs sitting while the House it- self is in session. This of course take some l'il.Ps out of the House But at the date of winch 1 am writ. lng. no committees were slilmst There were only three obvious plac- es where absentee lVi.Px. mtcrhi have been: in their offices. in the cafeteria. or at home.

No READING OR WRITING A point I noticed about the Sun-

ators was that every single one of .

them in the Chamber was actually listening to what the speaker was saying. Not one of them was read- ing: not one of them was writing: not two of them were whispering together. Cochrancls Jnc Brndetic doodled casually. bttl. showed that he was listening because every now and then he glanced up at the s pe a k e r or nodded his head in agreement. Even those Senators who are hard of hearing had not switched off their blah-offs.

This attention is typical of our Senators. it may he not discon- nected with the fact that the aver- age Senator is a more experienced person and a more able speaker than the average M.P. it is un- douhiedly connected with the fact that. being starved of work by the House of Commons. the Senate has it h o r t a 1' daily sessions than the House of Commons.

So. on the afternoon of wiiirh I write. at 3:30 p.m. Ottawa ltmc. only 18 M.Ps were listening in the request of the NLP who was tel- ling the House of Commons ”I believe that the farmers oi' western Canada are entitled to a little bit more than they have received so far."

But just one hundred yards away. more than three times as many Senators were paying; wrapt attent- ion to their most junior colleague. who was recounting the history of his native race - the Acarlians.

AFTER TOOTH I5 PULLEI)

Having a tooth extracted doesn't neceuarlly mean the end of your dental troubles.

DON'T GET PANICKY

in act. as you well know. you're ulua y-home before post-extraqb lbll Pain. swollfng or hemorrhaging begins. Jibwever. this is no .time to get panicky. l

That pain. swelling or. bleeding iltoblhly is perfectly natural. And I few simple ureswill ulu. ally remedy the situation. GAUZE WADDING

Generally. your dentist will give you a waddlng of auto to keep pressed firmly use nsi. the yawn- ing excavation te to stem the flow of blood. But if you run out of gauze wads. or the bleeding re- sumes after you've tossed them IWEY. berets a simple way that might help stop the bleeding.

Place a moist teabag over the site and bite down hard. Keep it there for 10 or 15 minutes. or long- er if necessary. This should do the trick. After the bleeding stops, do not rinse your mouth or spit ex- cessively for be next 24 hours. COLD APPLI ATIONS

Post.-extraction pain usually can be relieved by frequent cold ap- plications to the face. Use either an ice bag or cloths dipped in cold water and wrung nearly dry.

Occasionally pain won't begin un- til two or three days a'tcr the tooth has been pulled. This delay- ed paln becomes worse after the third day and may last as long as two or three weeks.

This probably is due to a dis- intergrating clot and inflamed atl- joining tissues. So. for persistent pain, you'd better see your den- tist or doctor. He can clean outgihe socket and give you codeine sul- fate or some other drug to relieve your pain. .

ice bags are hclplul. ion. for post-extraction swelling. Alp p l v them to your jaw for about. half an hour every hour until the swelling decreases.

in most cases. I think you'll find lhese remedies will work. QUESTION AND ANSWER

B.F.: Can fractures occur willi- out injury?

Answer: At certain times frac- tures occur due to bone disease in which the bone is eaten away, so that in the normal process of walk- ing and moving. the bone may break or fracture.
