No Curriculum

Ln speculating on the itsummit” meet- ing which is only about a month away, Mr. Dulles, the United States Secretary of State, has said that certain specific inat- ters having to do with the Soviet satellite States should come up for discussion. What Mr. Dulles evidently wants is a Soviet pledge to let these States go their own way without military, political, or economic direction from Mos" iv. The Soviet leaders, on the other hail. 'iave intimated that any such discussioi would be out of order. So. already birriirs to amicable dealings at the summit have been erected.

Whatever virtue or whatever praise there may be in Mr. Dullesl pre-confer- ence disposition. and regardless of the right or wrong of the Soviet reaction to it, it is interesting to recall that Sir Win- ston Churchill, in introducing the summit idea to the world, did not relate "it to any specific problem. His hope at the time was that, by getting together without any pre-arranged plan, the executive heads of States might concentrate on ttryfing to build up an atmosphere of mutual trust in which, later, the Foreign Secretaries would be able to turn to particularities with I reasonable chance of coming to terms. but other words, the summit meet- ing would be more exploraitory than def- lnivtive, more social tihan political.

Whether or not that remains the feel- ing of Prime Minister Eden is not exactly clear from Inything he has said on the subject in recent weeks. It is noticeable however, and perhaps significant, that, unlike the Unilted States State Depart- ment. the British Foreign Office has not come out with any hard and fast curric- ulum for the impending meeting.

No Cure-AII

The 'House of Commons has before it the unanimous report of a special group which would limit members' speeches in eomimons to 30 minutes instead of the present 46, restrict debate on the Speech from the Throne to 10 sitting days and the Budget Deba-te to eight days.

'Whether or not the House adopts this report, says the Ottawa Journal, the trend of thinking obviously is towards hastening work in the House. That of course is de- sirable but let it never be suggested that speed is more important than proper con- duct of the public business. And it should also be l'f1l'llGfllbP1'9d that members of Par- liament now have SllO.()00 a year, enough to live on, and it can'no longer be said that they must be home atteiiing to private business for at least half the year If their families are to be fed.

”The fact remains," says the Jo.irnal. "that Canada does not want full-time mcrnivbeis of Parliament who make Ottawa home and fall out of contact with their follow-citizens in their constituencies. If there are to be sessions lasting no more than about six months all the changes in House procedure ever devised will not he siifficlent as the business of the ('.'Vl'lIl'y and its government increases.

”Wh;i)t must be done is that the Gov- .

ernment give more and more es-llnites to the new Committee on Hstinates and thnis remove. from the floor of the I'I')'lSF) 'tlic protracted dolvitns on lf"llS of ex- rponditure.

”"'”his year only three do-pai"tnients have lion,-ii l'XRl'nIl1Pd by the es” halos (”)ll'Tlli- tee but it has been agreed by bath gov- ernment and opposition members that its work was effective. Proper ennlov nent

of the committee would end the unseem- '

ly spectacle of the Government man- oeuvring controvemial estimates to the last days of the session and critics speak- ing under the chilling frowns of other members who have their reservations for the trip home. A reyision of House pro- cedures is helpful and none would wish to underestimate its value. but lit. must not be thought of as I cure-all."

luasls of need and the ability to use the gift to maximum advantage.

The Committee dial brought in the P11790581. a part of a report dealing with nuclear energy, was made up of several prominent citizens, including Marquis Childs, celebrated Washington columnist, and Dr. Calvin Warf-ield, a nuclear phy- sicist. After commending efforts now being made by the United Nations to bring about a satisfactory agreement on disarmament. the report went on to say: "It is not enough for a Church merely to support efforts of goodwill; it must lead in such efforts. And that is possible. We could raise the money for, we could pur- chase and give an atomic reactor to some people in a less fortunate area than Am- erica. Such reactors are a practical real- ity. It stirs the imagination to envisage at some medical centre or university in the Far East. a reactor. given by us as a Church. bringing health and healing to the people of Asia and standing as a sym- bol of penitence for our sins, a witness of our common brotherhood, and an earnestness of our deep desire foifpeace."

The sponsors explained that the'Far .East was selected for this experiment in Ipractical goodwill because ”that is the ,area most hurt by the discovery of nu- lclear weapons and the place where thel Igreatcst tensions exist and where thel greatest good could be accomplished." They see in it also an accord with Pres- ident Eisenhower's proposal of an atomic pool for experiment and study in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. The reactor will cost. in the vicinity of a halfI million dollars.

I Longest Day

T0lll0lTOW'S dawn will bring the north- ern hemisphere's longest day of 1955. However, neither the year's earliest sun- rise nor latest sunset occurs on the long- est day. The sun makes its earliest appear- ance in mid-June and disappears latest near the end of the month. Summer bows in when the sun reaches the limit of its ap- parent nortihward journey. Then It shines directly overhead at. the Tropic of Cancer, an imaginary line that encircles the earth 2314 degrees or about 1.600 miles north of the Equator.

For several days the sun's noon posi- tion seems fixed. The period is thus known as the summer solstice, a derivation from the Latin phrase "when the sun stands .stilll.” Actually, as a National Geographic lsociety bulletin points out, the sun begins Iits annual southward migration at once. Six months later it shines directly over the Tropic of Cap1'icorn, starting summer in the southern hemisphere.

As the sun seemingly withdrawsea phenomenon caused by the earth's own canting.-the summer days get hotter and hotter. This is because the sun warms the cold earth during its northward swing, storing so' much heat that less sunshine sustains uncomfortably high temperature readings. The ancient Greeks had a word 1for this oppressive period of four to six weeks. They called it the "dog days", be- cause they usually coincided with the rise ,of the dog star Sirius. The star rises at a different. time now, but the name stuck.

Mapping The Heavens

(Montreal Gazelle)

Everyone is aware of the almost frenzied search in various parts of the civilized world for new wea- pons capable perhaps of putting civilization out of business. Not I0 many know about another exer- cise in scientific research that is not aimed at blowing anybody up but solely at finding out a lit- tle more about the universe in which mankind pursues his precar- ious career.

Working on top of I Cali- fornia mountaln two astronomers have been making I new series After seven years, they have a set of P246 pictures, each 17 inches square, covering about three- quarters of the heavens tall that can be seen from a given point on the earth's surface).

This is the first phase of the project. There will now be a brief pause of 30 or 40 years. after which a fresh celestial map will be made and any detectable changes noted.

Meanwhile. the patient watchers at Lick Observatory believe they have detected evidence of I more orderly arrangement of the uni- verse than had been supposed by some modern astronomers. Their map shows up galaxies-vast ag- gregations of stars-as far off as 200 million light years. These seem to occur in groups or clusters in-' stead of being scattered haphazard- ly through space. If so. the uni- verse has indeed a grand design.

It is hard enough for an ord- inary man to grasp the meaning of one llght year. let alone 200 million: (which may be by no means an ultimate figure). He is told that his sun, so important to him. is I mediocre star on the edgg 100.000 llght years In ” l but no more than 10,000 light years thick. He lives. in a sense. in a suburb of his star city. His nearest neighbor - the star next door, that ls- is more than four light years away. A journey ”down town" would take quite I bit longer.

And of course. he is surrounded by other star cities, which some say are not standing still but re- coding from him. For all the signs of pulsating energy about him. man finds him self in a rather lonely state.
