MONDAY,
Now It's Up To The Voter ~The candidates and the political, parties have done their part, and done it well, in the general election. For the past few weeks they have. ‘the voters the platform and person- alities from which a choice must be made. Now it is up to the individual voter to make that chpice. © : The worst kind of citizen, as has ‘been said many times before, is the “ene who will have “nothing to do with politics.” Those who take their ‘part in influencing the conduct of public affairs may be right or wrong. ‘They may to some extent cancel out one another's efforts. But the man or ‘woman who ignorés how public bus- iness is conflucted throws his or her weight against good government. “When a substantial saumber of third-rate citizens turn their backs _on pélitics the way’ is open to abuses .of every kind. Any government must «be kept on its toes by being made ‘eonstantly aware that its deeds and “misdeeds are the object of scrutiny ‘and comment by the governed. if -everything passes without comment it is surprising how quickly a govern- _ment can get out of line. _ “At election time if a relatively ‘small proportion of voters turn out - the way‘is open for successful man-
_ + {pulation of the results by bribery and * eorruption. This is relatively diffi-
. eult, however, as long as a heavy vote ‘is cast.
* Fortunately the people of Prince Edward Island have maintained an intelligent interest in how their af-
| _. fairs are conducted and have always
' tartied out in impressive numbers to
+ g#@reise their franchise. It is to be _ hoped that the number voting this
time will again be large enough to ensure that the result is an express-
: fon of real public opinion.
At this point the only way to en- gure that is for every citizen to get - out and vote.
_ Computers Relax To Music
_ Human beings can’t claim a mon- opoly in nervous breakdowns. Ex-
« pensive electronic computers, ,, too, |
ean suffer from the sort of tension that leads to breakdown; and one of the most surprising possibilities of a new piece of machinery, primarily that to aid cancer reasearch, is that it can prevent computers from break- down by enabling .them to compose _- and sing their own music for relaxa- . tion. Some examples vf this machine-
-*’ made music were heard in a recent
edition of ‘the ‘Science and Indus- ' try’ programme broadcast each week in the BBC’s General Overseas Ser- vice.
In this ingenious apparatus, ev- ‘ olved by Dr. R.J. Goldacre and Mr. D. Bean of: the Chester Beatty Re- , Search Institute in London, artificial ” euch a way that each cell is able to ‘ eommunicate electrically with each - and other cell. When a cell is . activated an oscillator gives off a note—one cell, one note—and the
» Motes have been picked along a mus-
fea] scale. The cells so connected form an arrangement analagous to a min- ute piece of living tissue, and a pulse “of electricity sent into any one eell can take a bewildering variety of routes. Audible information about its behaviour is given by the oscilla- tors—thus making a kind of music. Although nothing like as complex
as the workings. of the human brain, ‘which has tén thousand million cells, there was a similarity, Dr. Goldacre gaid, between the operation of the
' and of the composer’s mind ‘Tin which music was generated by “the interaction of nerve cells to pro- “ditice a rhythm; a disturbance from Spome other part of the brain then 1 nged the tune, and when the dis- turbance had passed, the tune grad- “ually found its way back to the or- “dgina] theme. : "3. . According to Freud, Dr. Goldacre 'gaid, an artist created a work of art because he generated a tension with- fn himéelf—as a result of frustra- tion—and' tried to get back to nor- mal by discharging this tension in setivity.

Circulation Of Ideas
Soviet jamming of outside broad- casts is on a much larger scale than the Nazi jamming of allied broad- casts during the war and costs the Soviet Union a great deal more than _ thé cost of the broadcasts it is des- igned to silence. It is a sympton of the Soviet Gov- ernment’s attempt to control all in- formation to its people. Anothér- sympton can be seen on any Mos-

It is safe to assume that the Soviet Union will take no harm from this relaxation of censorship and may even be induced to gradually ease the general restrictions on news cov- erage and on.-travel.
Such increasing freedom of infor- mation can contribute to the better understanding between peoples.’ The U.N.

It may be a long time before the intention of that charter is universally applicable but it stands

Continued productivity growth, constantly-rising real incomes and steady improvements in the nation’s standard of living have been forecast as the pattern of the future, observes the Commercial Letter of the Canad-
this, capital expenditures must be
maintained at appropriate levels. Combined with continued adapta-
bility, flexibility and mobility on the
growth will thereby be assured.
Estimates of the rate of growth, , however, are based in part on past F dévelopments, including the remark- able degree of mobility of recent years. The growth of rigidities, what- ever their nature, which hinder the mobility of labour or of capital, could result in serious restricition of the growth: process. se
The primary role of capital in maintaining an appropriate rate of increase in productivity need not be laboured, and should be recognized in a commensurate return on the capi- tal involved. Lacking adequate capital investment, replacement’ of old or ob- solescent machinery and equipment must be postponed, with resulting loss of efficiency and ability to com- pete.
It may be. noted that the same principles apply to farming and fish- ing industries. They must have an adequate return in order to provide for the replacement of equipment which will enable them to compete in a highly competitive world. —

OTTAWA REPORT
There have been strange go ings-on way down east.
Taxpayers in other provinces should alert themselves to those events, lest we all wake up one day to find that our open-handed charity to our backward tenth province has been abused. We ‘may find ourselves and our chil- dren for ever playing the role of the industrious ant in the fab- le, to Newfoundiand’s role of the play-boy grasshopper.
Taxpayers in all parts of Car ada of course agreed that we ‘owed Newfoundland a living tem- porarily,, while that island grew accustomed to living inside our confederation.

President Eisenhower's five- day visit is seen in London main- ly as a curtaih-raiser to the big ,~ two meetings in September.
There has been a tendency here to regard Prime Minister Macmil- lan as the ‘‘ice-breaker"’ whose tour of diplomatic capitals last winter and spring prepared the way for the Eisenhower-Khrush- chev talks:
“We have pressed the button —now we're going to sit back and watch the machinery work,’ one
There are no pressing problems of specifically Anglo - American interest for Eisenhower and Mac- millan to discuss.
MARKED CONTRAST ;
In marked contrast to the bar- rack-room language which Eisén- hower is said to have used on former prime minister Sir Anth- onv Eden during the 1956 Suez crisis, relations between Britain and the United States now are ex- tremely intimate. ‘
Eisenhower may encountér a less cordial atmosphere in Paris early next month. French Presi- dent de Gaulie has caused. some heart-searching within the Atlan- tie alliance by his insistence on a big-power role for France, and all Eisenhower's vaunted charm will bé needed to ease the strain.
Specific world issues likely to be uppermost in the Macmillan- Fisenhpwer discussions are the problems of Berlin and divided Germany, left in abeyance after the lengthy and inconclusive for- eign ministers’ meeting at Ge- neva., - : :

There is no evidence that the drug brings about any change jin the underlying causes of the disease. However, the changes in the patients’ attitude caused by the drug enable doctors to em- ploy additional measures such as psychotherapy, and this can pro- duce definite progress. QUESTION AND ANSWER

Answer: Fungus growth on the tongue and throat is usually caused by infection with & yeast- like organism. This may follow the use of certain antibiotics or may be an independent process.
Most such cases clear up promptly on use of certain fungi- cidal drugs such as mycostatin and gentian violet. Your doctor or a throat specialist should be able
