Discomlilecl Labouriles British Lal)0ul' r-.u't.v tn'niW:a'"l- ists are trying to create the imprcs- p siou that the Queen was "pv,-essiiieti" I, into appointing the Rt. lion. llarolzi I Macmillan as Prime .lI'anister. (hie has even suggested that ilcr Majesty was "put on the slim” I'-V Hold Guard" Tories, including Sir l'i'inston Churchill. There is a rumour, too, put out by these same gossipcrs that Sir Anthony wnntcii R. A. Butler to guc-('(-(Ml him and nus overruled by the old guard. All of w hich, of course, is plain twaddle.

The (lonservatlve Party. as such. had nothing whatever to do with Mr. )1-acmlllan's appointment. BY tradition and constitutional practice

is retiring Prime Minister has the duty of recommending his successor to the Sovereign. If he is defeated in Parliament on I vote of confiticncr: motion he recommends the leader of the Opposition who is then. without further ado, called upon to form a Government, pending an election. if. as in this case, no defeat has been registered in Parliament, he recom- mends I party supporter. usually is member of the Government. but not necessarily so. There is, of course, nothing to prevent the retiring Prime Minister from giving the Queen more than one choice: and that, probably, is what Sir Anthony Eden did last week. Mr. Butler's name may or may not have been on the list of possible nominees; but it is certain that Mr. Macmillan was mentioned, else he would not have been offered the post. Sir Winston Churchill, Lord Salisbury Ind prob- ably some other advisers were called into consultation, not to approve or disapprove Sir Anthony's recom- mendations but to help Her Majesty choose among those whose names had been submitted by him.

The truth is that the present leaders of the Labour Party are I discomfited lot these days: and evi- dently they are not particular about ways and means of expressing that discomfiture.

Election Signs

If If any doubt existed all along "I that a Federal election will be held if next summer the Throne Speech has I dispelled it by forecasting increased federal grants to municipalities. or- ganization of the Canada Council to provide S50 million for cultural de- velopment, another .il.3() millions for university construction and 316 mil- lion I year in overall grants to uni- versities, increased aid to expand technical school and vocational train- ing. These are necessary programs and they should have been brought forward long before this: but there is little doubt that they are regarded as important pre-election items.

It will be strange if some sort of National Health Insurance plan is not given consideration; and stranger still if between now and the end of the session some arrangement for tax reduction, or at least the promise of one for another year. is withheld. The fact that these measures were not specifically mentioned in the Throne Speech does not necessarily mean that their vote-catching po- tentialities have been overlooked. There is plenty of time between the opening of Parliament and its dis- qolutiaz, for Ifterthoughts of great ppIitIcIfiIltnIfIcInce.

years or more domestic coal supplied all the energy which British industry needed. That, however. is not the case any longer. Today Britain must import vast quantities of coal: and to make matteis worse many of her own mines are fast approaching the unproductive stage. Oil is being con- sumed in ever increasing volume to take the place of coal: but that com- modity has to be imported and it is obvious that for some time to come oil imports will be subject to all sorts of political uncertainties. The British aim is to become in- dependent of foreign oil and coal: and that is the chief incentive behind the atomic development. But. as the. research organization pointed out, there is more than a sense of urgency involved in the building of atomic plants. It takes great scientific know- lerlrrc and tcchnical skill and in both of these achievements Britain is ahead of the other powers. Already electricity in considerable volume is being produced by atomic energy, something which the l'nited States with all her industrial might has not been able to do.

The Late Mr. Gordon

The late Mr. John P. Gordon was uidcly known and esteemed through- out the Province. As I member of the firm of Moore and McLeod he took for many years a leading part in the business interests of the com- munity. and was also active in church and educational activities. lie was a gentleman of the old school, courteous and upright in his dealings, and with I keen interest in the welfare of the younger gen- eration. Ile had many intellectual interests, and was particularly fond of music and poetry. Books were his hobby from his boyhood years, and he delighted in discussing their mer- its with I kindred spirit. Mr. Gordon served for years on the executive of the Bible Society as well as on the Public Library committee and City School Board. He set I fine example of citizenship in every way. and his loss will be felt keenly by all who had the privilege of his friendship.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The English schoolboy who, when asked by his headmaster how he liked school, replied "closed" may meet with success in the station of life to which he is called. It is hardly likely, though, that he will ever enter the diplomatic service.

OTTAWA REPORT

()'rTAll'.-t: Political futures are I number one topic in MP5 offices licre. Prime Minister St. Laurent appears to be in prime health, and there seems to be no doubt that he will be well enough to lead the Llhcrals through this sum- mer's general election. although he will celebrate his 75th birthday on the first of next month.

Hon, George Drew has resigned from the House and will not be I candidate in the election. That will leave open his safe Conser- vative scat. Carleton County. com- prising the west end of Ottawa and the adjoininlz suburbs and farmlands. Carleton has always returned Conservative ltI.Ps ever slnce Confederation. These have included two Prime Ministers. Sir John A. Mucdonald and Sir Robert Borden.

One possible Conservative can- didate ln Carleton is said to be Ottawa's late mayor. Dr. Char- lotte Whlttou. She did not contest the mayornlty in last month's election. after five and I lull years in that office.

Charlotte is perhaps the most dynamic and compelling woman in public life in Canada today. She would brighten up Parliament Hill, and could capture the held- linc with her every ulterancu. She is I great Idmlrer and long- time friend of the new Conser- vative leader. John l)ii-fenbaker, and her friends expect her to work very actively in the Conser- vative cuuse in some role.

Meanwhile. she is taking I sliort holiday in the southern States. When she returns to Ot-

tawa ncxl month. she will resume one of her mnny fnrnicr activities, Ind write I neivsp.-ipcr column. Just before her Invasion of Otta- wI's municipal politics. she used to write I column for the Thomson daily newspapers. a very pithy, provoking and pertinent column which was very utdcly read. Now she plans to uritc for an OtlIwI paper. She describes her intended column as ”a high mplosive" and welcomes the fact that the pIper concerned will place "no restrict.- ion whatever upon topic or treat- ment provided only that I stay within the hnuntls of libel." Ottawa's Pres: (lallcry will wel- come Charlotte and will welcome

A TOAST T0 ('Illl.Dil00l)'S "NOBLE" SAVAGE

Sir.-I quote in part from your recent editorial entitled "Those Moral Standards". You say: "No doubt. it would be I fine thing if Ibsnlute moral standards were practiced by all nations . . . We then should have I perfect world or something very like it. But in I perfect world. of course, then would be no need of a United NI- tlons General Assembly nor. in- cidentally, of an international po- lice force to keep the tnatlonsn”, from cutting one I n ot h e r's throats"-a consummation that neither Plato's tRt-public" nnr Sir Thomas More's ”Utopia" could guarantee futurity.

in the early years of this cen- tury I young vioman of the Order of Grey Nuns left Montreal for Fort Mcphcrson on a mission among the Indians of the far North. The journey took her Ind her com- panions nearly ten months, trav- eling most of the time by dog- team. Years afterward when the journey could be made in one- fiflh the former time she and In- other sister of the Order were Il- lowed to visit their homes in the East before returning to their mission in the North. While here they traveled together as nuns always do, One of them was born on P. E. I. She was a cousin of mine. and therefore my wife Ind I had the pleasure of ocean- ionIlly taking them out in our car to various institutions and for various outings.

Now the point I want to make is this: on one of those nccaslons. I asked them "How do you like

to be back to ('ivlIi7.atinn'."' I re- member how heartily they re- marked. Oh! The North is civ- ilization to us. We love our mis- sion work. The niitsidc world has so changed." On the mission. they were teachers in I school for Indian children. "They knew from years of frullfiil labor that no matter how primitive a people

may be. there is something in them that may be nurtured for

noble purposes. I suppose It is I flrtlnnal

TIIANQUILIZERI MAY HELP DENTAL PATIENT

Your next trip to the dentist may be I much more pleIIInt expereiuce than previously thIu.kI to new trsnquillzinl drugs.

The mere thought of lining I tooth pulled, or even filled. causes at least some Imount of Ippre- hension in virtunlly III of us. In some persons this Ippmhenslon reaches the point where the slight- est stimulation produces In exag- gerated reation.

PSYCHIC FACTOR

The psychic factor is In impor- tant part of III pain sensations. It is I particularly vitIl element in dental pain.

Your reaction to pain is Ittrib- utable It leIst in part to your previous experience Ind to your Idjustment to that experience it Ilso depends I great deII upon the direction in which the stimu- lus is channeled through the thal- Imus. or emotional response cen- ter of the bulls.

NEW THEORY

Dr. Irving 6. Nalhansou. I Bos- ton oral surgeon who has had vast experience in such matters. sug- gests that by taking I tranquiliz- ing drug prior to I visit to I dentistls office I patient probably will become more relaxed nad co- operative Ind less Ipprehenslve.

By Icting to improve I person's attitude toward the dental proce- dure. he explIins. thI threshold of pain II increased.

T0 RELAX PATIENT

The tranquilizers chInnel impul- - ses from the thalamus to produce relaxation instead of tenseness. Therefore, the patient will tolente various dental proceducs 't the passnge of disturbing impulses Ilong the nerve Ippsrently is bloc- ked by the u-Inquilizlng drug.

in other words, it Iln't gonna hurt so much-most likely. And both your Ind the dentist Ire like- ly to enjoy the visit I lot more than usual.

However. let me clutlon you I- gainst using Iny tranquilizers with- out the Idvlce of your physicIIn. Better check with your own den- tist, too. See if III Igrees with Dr. NIthInson.

QUESTION AND ANSWER ,F.L.: What would cause the met- Ibollsm to be very low Answer: Low metabolism. II I rule. is due to I throld dcficiengv. However, it might come from dis- turbances of other gllnds of inter- nal secretion. The disorder Ilso may occur in certain chronic or long-continued Iilments.
