Tragedy Of The Highways
ii. is interesting to hear from one of the speakers at the annual lite-eliiig of the provincial Medical Society that the parent body, the L'-anauiaxi Menu-al Assuciatloll, is co- opcialirrt: with governments and the auioinolule iriilnslry in attempts to halt the ki)lli.iIllIll.Z ilcstruction of life and property winch is taking place on ihp .-Hum.-53 lnghways. The dis. clvisiirc that traffic accidents cause the i.(l'll'rll(lSL number of deaths in the child population and rank third among causes of death in the overall statistical picture indicates a fright- ful situation. And, of course, it will become pi'ogrcssivcly worse as more and more-powerful vehicles come from the factories. Unless something more than has been attempted al- ready is brought into safety cam- paigns and educational programmes, it won't be long before highways everywhere will be strewn with dead Ind mangled bodies as I matter of course, veritable trails of human slaughter. Unfortunately. this is no imaginative prediction. Its truth is as clear as the day.
What a tragedy it is that. while medical science has removed most.
of the terror from children: di-'
senses, s foremost product of our technological age is undoing in I most violent fashion much of the great work that has been accom- plished. There is no problem in our whole social system any more seri- ous than this one. Doctors under- stand it perhaps better than most other people, since they are in I better position than most to appraise the suffering and misery associated with it. I
"Grass-Roots" Convention
Canadians-and most Americans, too, for thst matter-look upon the forthcoming United States election Is I straight two-party fight. But it won't be anything of the sort if the 5,000 men and women who are meeting in Chicago early in Septem- ber ln what is to be known as the "States' Rights Grass Roots Con- vention" have anything to say about it. And they can be expected to say a good deal, although any influence they will have on the overall results will probably be very slim.
The convention will be under the chairmanship of Robert Bent Taft, I distant relative of the late Senator Taft. Its purpose is to form a brand new party composed of so-called States' Rigliters, Conservatives, In- dependent Electors and Constitution- ists-s in other words, disgruntled seccssionists or dissidents from the two major parties. Mr. Taft himself has stated the broad principle of the movement in these words: ”This new party should be known as a second rather than a thir-1 party, since the Democrats and the Repub- licans have virtually merged IMO the Dem-Rep party." (Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are going to like that hyphenated desig- nation!)
The list of possible Grass Roots Presidential candidates certainly shows plenty of conservatism in the old isolationist sense: Senator William Jenner of Indiana,'-s con- stent thorn in the flesh of President Eisenhower Ill during the last Con-

associate any one of them with the zrsss-roots of political thought. In any case, the prospects of any third party in the United States-however well established or led--are Ibout as promising as the proverbial snow- bsll's survival in that place which is unmentionable.
Photographing The Depths
One after another the mysteries of the sea are being unveiled by science. Soon the activities of fish life in the great depths of the world's oceans will be as easily re- corded as are the habits of fishes like the cod and herring which stay relatively close to the surface. The most recent venture in sea explora- tion, according to the National Geo- graphic Society, was made by the research ship "Calypso" which dropped anchor, secured by I nylon rope less than half an inch in diameter, in the Roniant-lie Trench, approximately halfway hclilccn the African and South American con- tinents. The water there is a little more than 4': miles drop. The
-captain of the ship reports that the
anchor held well, with no drifting even in heavy seas. Attached to other nylon ropes. cameras specially designed for this sort of photography were lowered to the bottom and put to work taking pictures of every- thing within their range.
It will be some time before the results are known; but a similar expedition last year in somewhat lesser depths of the Mediterranean resulted in excellent pictures of marine life. There remains the "deepest deep" of all, the nearly 7 mile Challenger Depth in the Pacific. This, the National Geography says, will be photographed in the near future. should the present venture in the Atlantic prove successful
EDITORIAL NOTES
Various American organizations are urging the Government not to recognize the Chinese Communist regime or approve its membership in the United Nations. They need not be alarmed. The Chinese them- selves, by attacking an American plane in the Pacific, have thrown away whatever chance they had of distrubing the status quo in these matters.

How are the mighty fallen, to be sure. In I text book now in use in Soviet schools, two achievements of the late Premier Stalin are mention- ed: his book in praise of Lenin and the part he had in organizing I strike of oil workers in 1904. His political career is summed up in the remark that he happened to be Premier during the course of World War Two and rallied the people to the defence of the country.

There has been a serious hog disease called ”vesicular axanthe- ma," which is related in its symp- toms to hoof and mouth disease, on a number of New Jersey farms. More than 1300 of the animals have been slaughtered by State and Federal Agricultural officials in at- tempts to stamp out the disorder. Late reports indicate that the course of the disease has been halted.

One Hundredlh Anniversary
(Contributed)
l
The Model School in Charlotte- town will celebrate its hundredth anniversary In October of this year. it. was started a few weeks after the Normal School which held its first session 22nd July, 1856. William Monk who was Head- master of the Normal School was also Master of the Model School. He, with an assistant, Lucretia Pringle. had by December of 1856 forty-scvcn boys and fifty-eight girls enrolled in the Model School will! an average daily attendance of 71. in the Normal School twen- ty men and two women were en- rolled for the three-months course which. if successfully passed, would qualify them as teachers.
There were no entrance examin- ations for those desiring to take Normal School work or teacher training. As the law stood 100 years ago, anyone with I certific- ate of moral character. and being above sixteen years of Ige could not be refused admittance. Many failed to pass lhe course and the Headmaster in an early report suggested that a competent male assistant be appointed to take charge of the Model School while the Headmaster could confine his teaching to the teachers-in-trsim in whose ignorance of the com- monest subjects rather Ippslled the head of the Normal School.
Times have changed in a hund- red years and if John McNeill, "Visitor" of Schools. or William Monk, Headmaster of the Normal School Ind Model School could make a comparative report to date it woulrl make interesting reading. The rcport from which this has been drawn. was published as In Extra of the Royal Gazette. Chur- loltetown. Thursday. June 24, 1358. It also contained I list of the first students enrolled for teacher train- ing on the island.

Dealing With Egypt
Winnipeg Free Press
The London conference on the Suez Canal has broken up with- out agreement. What then. should
1 western policy be now? The most
important thing is that it should not be in too much of I hurry. The greatest mistake tbs this been made so far has been screecb in panic-stricken terms about how absolutely vital Suez is to the West. That invites I-lqypt to be tough; it makes the West look so weak and foolish that any Arab state is bound to conclude that tail-twis- ling pays.
If the Suez canal were all that vital. Britain might never to have left her military base there. in fact
it is not all that vital. if the worst ,
comes to the worst, shipping can get in western Europe without the Canal. it would mean. for Britain and other countries. higher retail priccs for oil and many other im- ports. But it would not wreck Plur- npr-. The western economy is not all lhat weak. and there is no point in inviting the Arabs and nlhers lo brllevc that it is and that they therefore hold all the high cards.
They do not. The closing of the canal would hurt western Europe
severely. but what would it do to I
President Nasser. who hopes to use the tolls to jack up the dis- tressed Egyptian econnmv" The truth is that the canal. now that if is naiirvnalized. is I-1qypl's great- est resource - provided. but only provided. that she runs If on terms acceptable to the shipers of the- world.
N0 ASSURANCE
Pr:-xident Nasser claims that he will permit ships of all coun- tries to use the canal freely, and that he is prepsred to negotisle about setting up An international board to advise the Egyptisn oper- slurs, His position is distasteful to the western nations for only one good reason: that they do not trust him. His plan contains no assurance thst he will. in fact, respect the 1838 convention which allows Ill ships to pass through the canal without hindrance.
The only way to put this go the last is to see what happens. a the last snslysls, l'IOIDil.,Cll3Q” I30 military oceupstion of all Egypt ran produce an iron-csld gonna- tee of the way the canal is opu- ated; end that would mean iso much trouble in the rest of-
cansl ares which would report on
.. any infringements, and the UN would then decide on appropriate action.
ONUI ON NASSER
A scheme of this kind would be very hard indeed for Mr. Nasser to reject in principle. If he reneg- ed in practice, the western nations would become fully entitled, through the UN. to use against him the powerful means of per- suasion, and even force, in their hands. But they are not entitled now, before Egypt has been given I chance to run the canal as she professes to inland.
If Mr. Nasser does live up to . his word, if all ships are allowed I to use the Canal freely, if charges are kept at a reasonable level. if the canal and its installations are msintsincd al the standard noc- PSSBIW for efficient operation. then that is that. if he does not. then it will be time for the western na. tions to get tough. But. having 3.1. milled that ho was quite within his legs lrigbfs in nationalizlng the canal. they have no basis for get- Iing tough at this stage.
The basis for hoping lhal the F dispute may die away is not faith
in either the pledges or the cnpac.

fact. that. marginally, flu: smooth

NEW TOOLS FOR. MEDICINE
Scientists have found I vslusble tool in treating infectious monon- ucleosis, or glnnduln fever. in Infection for which there is no other effective medical treatment.
HIGH TEMPERATURE mononucleosis is I condition usually marked by.I sharp increase in body tempera- ture and I swelling and tender- ness of the lymph nodes. There may also be inflammation of the tonsils and throat. . ,
The new treatment is I combi- nation of cortisone and the suit- biotic polycycline. Scientists It Syracuse University report tint it brought relief within 24 to 36 hours to patients suffering pain and acute difficulty in breathing Ind swallowing.
Another new d. t seems to prevent unpredictable hemor- raging that frequently occurs In children following removal of ton- slls and ndenolds.
Studies of Philadelphia children between the ages of 5 Ind 13 showed that use of the compound Synkayvile-CB prevented the hemorrhage in 97 out of 100 ope;-. stions performed.
MINOR BLEEDING
In each of the three cases of post operative hemorrhages, mg bleeding was minor pnd easily controlled at home. ,
A new compound Ilso is unde clinical study for treating my... lhenia gravis. 1t reportedly has been found to have greater po. lency and longer duration of se- tion than drugs in present use,
The drug. Myorgal, was tested on 33 patients. 26 of whom re. ported it was effective in increas- ing muscle strength.
A third compound. known as D.O.N. (I defy anyone to pro- nounce its technical nsmel may become helpful in the study of cancer.
