SEVEN OF10_ .

BACK ROYALTY

LONDON (Reuters) — Seven out of 10 Britons are in - favor of royalty, though ‘the number of republicans in Brit- ain is increasing, a survey wblished here disclosed.

The figures’ showed that 16_ per cent of the population, six per cent more than in 1960, now would vote for a repub-

lc. ; London businessman’ Leon- nard Harris, who commis- sioned the survey among 3,- 3000 people for his book, Long to Reign Over us?, said ‘the main reason given was-that royalty was too expensive. Among royalists was a strong opinion that the Royal

Family must work and be seen ‘‘to earn their keep.”

Prince’ Philip: headed — the personal popularity poll with | $1 per cent of votes compared with the Queen’s 28 per cent.

Prince Philip is: praised for his dislike of fuss and cere- mony.

Eskimo Men

In Labrador e 6 Going Blind ST. JOHN'S; Nfld. (era | three-year _ medical study British physician Dr: Arnal Freedman has. shown 90 per cent of Eskimo men in Labra-

dor begin to go blind at the age | of 40 because of a mysterious |

disease, the cause of which is jj.

unknown. The medical post. says Dr. t an, working under the sponsorship of the International Grenfell Association, the New- foundiand Health Department | and the E. A. Baker Founda. | tion, gathered his findings from | headquarters set up“in 1963 at | Happy Valley, Labrador.’

They show most Eskimo men | ~

contract the « disease, except those who hold indoor jobs. It was first believed to be related | to snowblindness, but this | theory was later disproved. Other ideas advanced in Dr. Freedman's report are that the | intense ‘cold of the north—50 de- grees_below zero at times—, might be the cause, or that needle-like snow particles might

. Be causing eye damage when}

driven against the eyes by high |

winds. Known as Labrador kerato- pathy, the ailment causes a |

film to form at the edge of the | eye and advance with age | across the eye until the suf- | ferer can only. count the fingers on his hand. by holding # up against a strong sun.

Nfld. Teachers Discuss Salary .

_ §T. JOHN'S, Nfld. (CP)—The | Newfoundland Teachers’ Asso- | elation, seeking wage increases | in a brief to the provincial gov- | ernment, claims the janitor at— one city school is making more | money than 40-of-the 55-teach- ers the school employs. B The NTA did not identify the schoo! involved, but the 22-page

brief in booklet form warns that J .

“Unless the government adopts | a policy on teachers salaries which is more than generous, |

the tremendous sums of money |

already spent on education will | have been, in large measure, | spent ‘in_ vain."*

Almost 70 per cent of the | teachers in Newfoundland |’

schools have less than two years | training and, at the present fate, it will take 65 years for upgrad- ing programs to put qualified | personnel if all classrooms in the province.

Compared to an average | across Canada, excluding Al. | berta, of. $5,400. annually,-- New- foundiand teachers salaries average little more than $3,000. The brief says there is. a wide | disparity between salaries’ ‘for*|

_ fegular teachers\ and those paid

instructors in ps_.‘schooss, | the newly-opened college of fish- tng, navigation, marine engi- |] neering and electronits, and. | Memorial University. i

It says lack of financial in- | eentive is causing a drop in the number of male education stu- dents and the province neéds | 300 new teachers a year to meet | increased enrolment, to skyrocket in 1970.
