We were struck by 9- 5t01‘Y that reached us from Salem, New Hamp- shire, about a primary school open- int: and a little li0.V “’h0 “'35 mak‘ ing his first appearance in the capa- city of pupil. He sat among his classmates, sobliing disconsolately, until the principal took him in tow. “\’l'h.V are you 0l'.\'iI1l!- dear?” She asked. “Don't you like school?” “I like it but I’m afraid,” he sobbed. “I don’t know how to read or write or anything." _

This little boy, we predict, will be a happy traveller in the realms of gold. He dt-esn’t know which foot to put forward now, but he'll s non learn. He'll get his bearings before- he reali7.es it: the capacity f0!‘ W35 is within himself. He knows instinct- ivel.\' where he wants to go. and nothing will stop him. The teacher's task will -not be to arouse his inter- est—it's there in passionate form ah.eady_..but the more delightful one of directing his impetuous course. What a happy combination, if he gets the right teacher!

Of course, this little boy Will never reach his 3031- He," always feel the inadeouacy of not knowing something or other, of yearning fol‘ it and just failing to grasp it. But he'll learn later, with R.L. Stevenson, that “to travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive, and the ‘EH19 success is to labor.”

Then in old age—an h0n01'ed figure in the world of learninlly D91‘- haps——he will recall his first day in school and the emotion that made him sob because he “didn't kY10W how” to make a start. And he will re- flect, happily, that for all his pro- gress in the intervening years there are still immeasurable realms for him to traverse, gleaming with gold brighter than ever he had fancied.

It may be, then, that he will think of Sir Isaac Newton, and of the boy to whom Newton compared himself in his old age, “playing: 0" the seashore and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordi- nary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."

There are hr._vs and girls in every community with this priceless urge to know and understand. They’re at school now, back again or for the first time. it matters little. Happy hunting for all of them, in their im- memorial pursuit!

He is making the most of it, demanding I clearer explanation from Washing- ton’ an d wrrning that countries which allow American U-2 planes to ’be"based on their soil may face “ser- ions consequences.”

As with the Cary Francis Powers case, the Soviet accusation is strong and condemnatory. Washington has conceded that a craft operated by the U.S. Air Force was in the north- ern Pacific urea east of Sakhalin, a Soyiet ‘area, at about the tim e specified in the Soviet note, that the pilot encountered severe winds dur- ing t.ha’T night inqueation and may have unintentionally overflown the aofithern tip of Sakhalin.

The American Air Force has about 50 U? aircraft, with head- quarters at an airforce base in Tex- as. The unit. part of the Strategic Air Command, operates both at home and abroad and is used for high al- titude air sampling, to check for radioactivity. At various times the planes are rent to bases overseas to carry out the air-sampling program. They are operated. among other places, in Australia, the United the Phillipines, Puerto Rico and Alaska.

What gave them unenviable pub- licity was President Eisenhower's admission of personal responsibility for the U-2 espionage flight by Pow- ers in May, 1960. This is not at all a parallel case, as President Ken- nedy has been at pains to empha- size; but it is unfortunate that an excuse for complaint should have been provided now. The world has

for all the good they are doing. They shrrild be re-baptized or put in moth- baI‘s.

A Fine Time For This!

On the face of it, it is hard to ac- count for the action of the federal department of agriculture in firing 13 of its 30 seed potatoes inspectors here on the ground of implementing the government’s austerity program. What kind of economy is this?

It is impossible for a skeleton staff to carry out efficiently the in- spection duties required of it. This is the time when the full staff is needed, particuiarly——as a spokes- man for the industry has explained -——in view of the major effort now being made to wipe out potato dis-

‘ease and the starting of the coun-

try’s first Elite Potato Seed Farm in the province.

We suspect that this has been a bureaucratic action, taken without. consultation with the responsible minister by some officious under- ling. In any case. it should be recon- sidered, and at once. The fact that the men whose services have been dispensed with are listed officially as seasonal employees without “per- manent” status is beside the point. They are experienced. and have been employed full-time for some years.

It is to be hoped the provincial department and provincial potato marketing board will be able to make Ottawa see its responsibility in this matter without further loss of time.

A Lot Of Water

According to the Canadian In- stitute of Plumbing and Heating, the average family of four requires at least 130 gallons of hot water per day, with as much as 30 per cent of this total being used during the "rush period” of about two hours. It seems incredible, and would be to our forebears, for our modern way of living has much to do with this enormous galloriage.

Aside from baths and showers, modern appliances such as automa- tic dishwashers and so on add to the amount of hot water needed for perfect convenience. A conventional washing machine requires about 17 gallons of hot water per load; an automatic washer about 22 gallons. Eight to 10 gallons are required for an automatic dishwasher, and a bath or shower can consume up to 15 gallons. _ '

The use of hot water is only one phase of the importance of water as a domestic utility. Municipalities must provirle pure water for drink- ing in order to preserve the health of the community. Millions of dol- lars are being spent these days on waterworks and sewage disposal plants. Citizens sometimes look askance at the expense but it is all part of the developments now in progress in the interests of modern living.

a lie.

Thus the party whins on both sides had little incentive to per- form their main task, which is to “whip in" the maximum strength of their party for any vote-since the Opposition could not expect to outvote the Gov- ernment.

CLOSE VOTES LIKELY

In this month's new parlia- ment. however. voting strength of the Conservative go- vernment will be only 115. while the 100 Liberals, 30 Social Credit- ers and I9 NDP members could overthrow the government by combining to vote solidly ag- ainst it on any major vote.

This will keep the whins busy. It also poses the definition of a “major“ vote. and the vexed question of party solidarity on votes. A tradition was introduc- ed into our Parliament, by the late W. L. Mackenzie King ac- cording to many observers. whereby every vote In the House is regarded as a vote of

CIVIC BUNGLING

Sir. — Your news item in The Guardian of Sept. 6. headed “Temporary Sewage Plan Made for Co-op Housing." overcame my reluctance to criticize the lavish spending of public mon- ies by our present City Council.

I wonder if any citizen or even any member of the Council knows how much it is going to

cost the taxpayers to service the '

entire Co-op Housing project with sewer facilities.

A few months ago the City generously paid thousands of dollars to the Co-op Housing for a tract of land which had prov- ed unsuitable for the erection of dwellings. Then. believe it or not. building permits were issu- ed and homes erected on ano- ther portion of low-lying land. evidently without consideration as to how these were to be serv- ed with sewers.

Finally the Council. 3 ft e 1- many discarded surveys, waa obliged to exproprlate part of a resident's land and build an aqueduct approximately 16 feet in depth. This greatly detracts from an otherwise beautiful pro perty and no one yet know: what this will cost the City. And as to the coat of this aquaduct. It will run into many thouca

old this work cannot be completed this fall but a plan to run a pipe a short way into the North River to car- ry sewage from these homea la suggested. This In spite of the fact of the recent agitation for the City to do something about

water contamination. lheard today that this plan had been abandoned. However flic dttcb for tbui disposal baa ad!

the pipe to carry It out to the river has been laid.

I have every sympathy with the flood people who have bean

allowed to build their homes in this part of the Co-op properly but I find it hard to understand why they were ever given bulld- lng permits. What was our Town Planner and our Town Planning Committee thinking of? Why did our Council give its consent to such a project and where do our Water Commissioners in into the

picture? I do think our Council-.

lors should thoroughly acquaint themselves with every project on which they are required to make a decision.

After all. what are we paying them 81,200 per year for? They quibble over the cost of new traffic algae and apparently swallow the coat of the ’Co-op Housing newer without blinking an e e.

Let us hope our Council will have more foresight in the fu- ture and that the City will be an generous with the taxpayers ‘whose property has been, to some extent. mined. as they are to the Co-op Housing.
