Matter Oi Significance

The election of (Taiiada, Panama imd Jaflan to non-permanent seats in the LVN. Security Coiiiicil was d95('l'lP9d UN an American dclcilate as "a well deserved vote of confid- ence by the Assembly in those ('Ulll'1- tries." In a sense, no doulii, it vvas. lxocounti'y gets elected to the Se. curity Council on the first ballot if it isn't fairly well regarded in the Assembly.

It is well to rciiicnibcr, however, that non-pcrmaneiit meml.iership in the Security Council is pretty much of an honorary status. The onlv ef- fective power is exercised by. the five permanent members, Russia, the United States, Britain, France and Nationalist China, each of which has the right to veto. The iion-pernian- ent members take part in the dis- cussions and probably make sugges- tions from time to time, but they have no ultimate control over policy. Their majority voice can be over- ruled at any time.

Perhaps the most significant

thing about the election of the three countries and especially of Japan. whose candidacy won out over that of Czechoslovakia, sponsored by the Soviet Union, is that the Afro-Asian bloc threw most of its weight on the side of the West. For some time this .bloc has been leaning noticeably to- wards the Soviet Union poirit of view on many controversial subjects. It was feared at one time that its influence might be strong enough to give the Russians and their satellites virtual control of the Assembly. It looks now as though that danger has passed and that Soviet pressure on the Asians and Africans is not as effective as it. once was. This, if subsequent events confirm it, will be a good thing for the usefulnes of the UN.

Potential Disaster

If the proposed strike on C.N.R. steamships in Newfoundland goes into effect and lasts for any length of time it could be well nigh dis- aslrous. (lonccivably, it could pro- duce something akin to starvation in hundreds of communities. To begin with, the main connecting link with the mainland will be cut. That, how- ever. will not be the worst aspect of the situation, since other ships which are not' part of the C.N.R. system ply between New York, Halifax and St. John's. It is along the coastlines that the strike will be devastating in its effects.

(if the l..'l00 or more commun- ities, at least half are served exclu- sively by waterborne transportation, most of it by the ('..V.R., although fl small fleet of independent freight- ers shares in it. in most instances there are no connecting roads to dcncnd mi: and air freight to most of the places would be out of tho question on account of lack of facil- ities to handle that sort of traffic. The ships which call usiially once a week. cairying mail. passengers and freight are their lifeline.

It is not too much to say that I quarter of the population of New- foundland would be put in dire straits by a strike affecting the

Jteamers: and, of course. the whole

cconomy of the Province would he hlbjected to severe strain.

The Experts Disagree

One thing which the public finds wt blesome about the Asian flu is . - disagreement among the experts

' theeffectivenessofthe W vaccine. In San Francisco otherday a group, which in- --Dr.KarlF.Mcycrwhosc- 9 lather-cportisconslderod

'ilIIonaoftl'ieworld'sleodm

hid. Illlaltad that the only prod!- ml In of the vaccine was in helpliu to relieve "near-hysteria" which he said had developed in the wake of the disease.

In Washington, however. an of- ficial of the United States' Public Health Service strongly opposed the views of the California group and said that his organization is urging "maximum possible immunization." "The only way to check the disease,” he noted, "is by vaccination." He added that no one in the Public Health Service would agree with the statement that the vaccine could cause illness and death.

So there it is; one group of ex- perts saying one thing and another group saying just the opposite. The question, of course, is a purely aca- demic one, as far as the public is concerned. since there is not the slightest possibility of mass immuni- zation by late this fall or early in the winter when the dease is expect- ed to reach its peak. The contro- versy is irritating, just the same. especially to those who are on the pre'""red list of vaccine receivers, Wht. .von't know whether they are doing the right thing or not by be- ing vaccinated. Usually in matters of this kind there is unanimity in medical circles. At least they don't go around contradicting one another.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Whoever takes the place of Bour- ges-Iilaunoury as Premier of France, he almost certainly will be one who has held the office before. They must surely have run out of new applicants after all the changes which have taken place in recent years.

Lord Altrincham must be one of Britain's "angry young men.” First. he attacked the Queen and her court. Now. he has complained about his fellow peers, most of whom, he says, are "mediocre." If he should decide to turn his anger on himself, as he may well do one of these days, he would be doing something really constructive. . ' .

A certain farmer out on the prairies will think twice before mak- ing another all-out assault on wasps in his barn. The other day, be de- cided to burn out a colony that had settled in his hay. In the resulting fire, the barn, 5,000 bales of hay, 2.000 bushels of barley, 200 loads of fertilizer, a utility shed and a garage went up in flames. So did the wasps, of course.

Hamilton Falls, Labrador, now being developed by the British New- foundland Corporation tBRlNCOl is said to have the world's largest power potential. W. E. Webb, head of the corporation's hydraulic divi- sion, told the Corner Brook branch of the Engineering Institute of Can- ada that an estimated 4 million horsepower can be developed there. Immediate plans call for a develop- ment of 1 million horsepower which. to service a city the size of London. according to Mr. Webb, is enough England.

It has been decided by New York civic authorities that the proposed 21 gun salute to Queen Elizabeth on her arrival in that city will be dis- pensed with. It was feared that the big noise would break windows in the area andiprobably terrify a lot of people who might not know any- thing about the plans beforehand. The salute will be given in Washing- ton as planned. It isn't likely that iler Majesty will feel slighted over the omission of New York gun fire. Even one salute is not called for by protocol in lands other than the Queen's realms and territories.

OTTAWA REPORT M. P.'s Private Groin Deol -

By Patrick

Ottawa: lfnose Jawls h'ard- uare merchant Ross Thatcher is selling his goods to prairie farmers against payment half, in cash and half in grain. Re- porting ihis introduction of bar- ter. to facilitate trade in cash- iiiingry Saskatchewan recently,.j this column gave the example of ex-M.P. Thatcher selling a tele-i, iision receiver for perhaps 8100i in cash plus 75 bushels of wheat. ITliat would be one of the chenp- . er modclsli

The buyer must deliver the grain to Thatcher's ranch. ten miles outside Moose Jaw, when it is fed to his herd of ilerel ford.

A reader in Quebec City writ- es to ask whether this is a legal 5 transaction. He sites an inter- esting court case of few years ago. when a Prairie farmer was adjulired to be acting illegally in selling his grain to a poul- try farmcr in British Columbia.

if the B.(' poultryman cannot buy grain direct from the givin- er, why should cattleman That- cher? Thai is the question from Quebec City.

it may appeal paraduical. but Thatcher is not acting ll-l

legally. INTER-PROVINCIAL BAN in short. I am told by grain

officials here, there are two rel stricllons on the sale of wheat. (inc is that inicrprovincial pri-, vale sales are banned. but sales ; arranged privately between buy- i

The other is that only "prior producers." l namely owner-farmers or tenent 5 farmers who actually grow tbei grain, have permits to market their product to the Board of Grain Commissioners through de livery to elevators acting as ag- ents for the Board.

Thus Ron Thatcher, it seems, can legally buy Saskatchewan grain for delwery to his Sask-

resell that grain by delivering it to an elevator. because he did not grow it himself. .

While on the topic of graln.. i will mention an interesting, step now being considered. to: simplify the marketing of allj grains. ' 1

At present wheat, barley and! oats are sold by the bushel, This frequently calls for quick calcu- lations and for an intimate know- ledge of the grain trade. be cause a bushel is not always what it nppnn.

A bushel of wheat. for exam-' ple. is sometimes -- but cer- tainly not always - 61 pounds. But a bushel of oats is about half that - sly around 34 pounds. And a bushel of barley is about 40 pounds.

This in almost as confusing as the present chaotic system of "sizes" used by manufacturers of clothes. especially children's clothes. For example, one manu- . far-lures": "size tan" is the same i

Lancaster's Cow

Kerry Wood in The Country Gilda

A school girl of fourteen sun-i ny years wrote me a charming! letter to ask about the univer-1 .-nl problem of excessive elbow; bending. "What do you person-i ally think about the use of alco-i liol. internally on a person?" she asked. "l am making an alcohol reference booklet. so would up-3 preclnte any information youl can provide.” i Probably everyone agrees that habitual inicmpcrnnce is one of' ihe .I('rl0ll.l evils of our frustrat- ed times. but how does one deal with the pros and cons of per, sonal liberties and government: controls. when answering such I cliildls letter? I compromised by telling her our experience with a drunken cow and letting the ins: ilraw her own conclusions. Lnncaxtc-r's, cow was pasturcd in the lane behind our former home on the day we disc-overed' that we didn't know how to make ; smicrkrsiit. it was our firs at- tempt at making kraut. a we had put too much salt in tho, siireded cabbage.

so it wasn't too surprising that five gallons of fermented kraut set Lancaster's cow on her pro verblal car. She demonstrated this by undulating down that lane like a ballet dancer with stomach ulcers. She made a great to-do about shying at a late flowering dandelion. snort-

clrcling around that pretty weed with elaborate precaution. Then she started to hiccup. Wt could hear those ” , origi- nating somewhere for back in her long body., rumbling all Ihrotmh her various stomachs and gathering use b as they proceeded forward. Bally emer-

OUR VARYING BUSIIEL when is classified into six top grades - and some others. These preferred grades are named No. 1 Manitoba Hard! then Num- i hers I, 2, 3, and 4 Manitoba Nor- thern; then "No 4 ecial." One bushel of No. 1 Ma iwba Hard must have a minimum weight of 62 pounls. But for those other grades. the weight of one bushel drops progressively until "No. 4 Speclal' f weighs only 53 pounm. Now a move has been launch-

ed to standardize our marketing unit, by substituting "100 pounds" i for the bushel. This will mean that the standard unit has a varying volume, but is alwayai the same weight - a change which will be of special conven- ience tn calculating freight. char- ges.

Nothing would be done about this without fairly general agree- ment among grain producers and handlers. and without sim- ultaneous action by the United States. where the proposed change is being widely discuss- ed. The change has also been Mdely canvassed in Canada. and then is very general inter-

But the episode bad a happy ending and per- haps a moral: Lancaster's cow never touched another drop of sauerkraut from their on.

As for your heart skipping I beat, well, so what? Most like- ly this is what we call a pro- mature heart beat or a beat that come: between two regular beats. Alarming as if may sound. lid say that almost all normal hearts have a premature but occasionally. although the hearts owner may not be aware of it.

Very seldom do such beats mean you have heart disease. While they can be caused by any number of things and do mean more heart irritability, they will never bring on heart disease no matter how frequent they become.

FREQUENT AND PROLONGED

And in some cases they are both frequent and prolonged. Maybe there will be only one or two in a month. On the other hand. there may be several pre- mature beats a minute. Perhaps the situation will last for years.

We have traced the source of these "extra beats" to such things an fatigue. influenza. sin- us infections. even carbunclel.

Another common cause is an abcessed tooth.

BEST ADVICE The best thing to do when you

notice a premature boat is to see .

your doctor. You'll want. prir fesslonal advice even if the only thing he does is to tell you that it's nothing to worry about. And this probably is the best advice in most cases.

Still, if the premature beats occur often enough to get you really worried. we have sever- al drugs available to remedy slla situation without any trouble or pain to you. '

Just remember this: your heart is a tough old organ. It's can take a lot more than you might think.

QUESTION AND ANSWER.

J.C.: How may books be dis- infected after having been han- dled by I person with a conta- gious disease?

Answer: Very little attention is paid to books as a possible means of grading disease. Uusually. it is best to air out. for I! but 12 hours, everything in a man in which there has been a case of t ' disease. All arti- cles should be exiposcd in the sunlight u much Is Possible.

However, if the infection is due to lnallpox. the books and other articles should be destroy- ed.

AUTUMN PAGEANTRY

Autumn has come. trailing I- cross the field

Her mottled robe of gold and crimson leaves -

A train of splendour. skillfully she waves

A blanket for the (runs as a iihield.

The day is spent, and from the wood concealed

The great owl spreads his wings. Bursting with sheav-

en

The barn is host to sparrows. and the eaves

Shelter the empty nests when swallows wheeled.

Sprl it came with trllllums and

daffodils -

And summer knew the scent of clover bloom

And the warm colour of the ripening grain.

But autumn lures our eyes to Vales and hills

And captures. throuji the Giul- tle of her loom, '

The red of buckwheat stubble under rain.
