A Noble Example

This City and Province, as well Is St. Joseph's Convent, have lost an outstanding educationist in the pass- ing of the (Ionvent's Superior and Principal. the Reverend Sister of the Resurrection. who was loved and revered by generations of pupils who came under her benign influence both at St. Joseph's and at Notre Dame Academy, where also she served as Superior for some years.

The Reverend Sister was devoted to her rcligiotts calling. and this is perhaps why she was so successful as a teacher. and as I teacher of teachers, and why both institutions made such great advancement under her wise leadership. She had the gift of winning the esteem and affection of her pupils, and of inspiring all with whom she came in contact with her own high ideals and cheery optimism.

The devoted Sisters under her charge, who were privileged to know her most intimately, will feel their bereavement very keenly; but her loss will also be felt by the commun- ity at large, Protestant as well as Catholic. for her educational inter- ests transcended sectarian bounds. Although she has passed to her re- ward, the example of her many years of service in her high calling will remain. to kindle the flame of enthusiasm in others and perpetuate her memory.

A Fitting Memorial

11 was I fine tribute to I dis- tinguished Prince Edward Islander, the lion. David Laird, which was paid by Mr. Justice Estey, of the Supreme Court of Canada, It New Glasgow yesterday. The memorial, erected by the Historic Sites and Monuments Ftoard of Canada, serves to perpetuate the memory of one of bhe. builders of Confederation, the founder of The Patriot newspaper and one of the most effective speak- ers in the Legislature and at Ottawa before his appointment as first Gov- Irnor of the Northwest Territories.

In a sketch of his career appear- ing in The Guardian a few years ago, Dr. Frank MacKinnon wrote of Mr. Laird: ”As I man he was I great character; as I statesman he had the unique experience of contribut- ing in large measure to the develop- ment of both the eastern and west- Irn parts of the Dominion. As an Islander and a Canadian he has left such I record of loyal service and devotion to duty In to merit the grateful appreciation of his Province and country." The permanent memorial unveiled yesterday to his achievements in the place of his birth expresses this ap- preciation, and will be regarded by all our people as a recognition long overdue.

Population Trends

A report that has come oIIr way gives some interesting figures con- cerning population trends in various areas. With I present population of something like 2 U2 billions, Ind with an annual increase of about 1 U24, approximately 510,000 babies arrive in the world every day. These figures are the highest in history, and they have to he considered in conjunction with another fact that II being stressed by the economists, namely. that, taking one area with another. the supply of available food in diminishing.

Provincial Flower Show

With Old Home Week over in Charlottetown, interest will centre this week on the Provincial Flower Show which is being held in Sum- merside on Tuesday and Wednesday under the auspices of the Abegweit Chapter of the I. O. D. E. This is the fourth annual show of its kind and it is expected that there will be I record number of exhibits from various parts of the Province. The show will be opened by Hon. Eugene Cullen, Minister of Agriculture, and an interesting and varied program has been arranged. There will be a special feature in honour of Char- lottetown's centennial.

It is our boast that Prince Ed- ward Island in the Garden Province of the Dominion. What more ap- propriate to any garden than the beautiful flowers which can be culti- vated here in profusion?

EDITORIAL NOTES A little while back the Hungar- ian Government made quite an ado about the ”release" from prison of Cardinal Mindszenty.

The Democrats (the Government party) are report- ed to be pretty cheerful about the whole thing. 0 O 0 Speaking of flying saucers and such like innovations, the United States Air Force, which is charged with keeping watch on anything that might threaten the security of the country from the skies, said in I recent. statement: "We have nevei received any authentic information which would show that space craft have landed."

OTTAWA REPORT

The Senatorial Payroll

By Patrick Nicholson

OTTAWA: Our Senate has been

described as ”(Janada's Oldest. Joke". by the Winnipeg Free Press. More accurately but less

kindly, the Sarnia Observer re-

cently termed it "Canada"; Dis- grace". The method of making the

latest appointments to our should- he august Upper House of Par- liament deserves more careful examination than the spendthrift Canadian taxpayer so far given it. This method shows that the disgrace in not Canada's but the Governnienlis: it shows unmis- takably that the oldest joke is I joke on the taxpayer.

The Senate was nearly one- uuarter empty throughout the whole of this year's session. From Friday. January 7th until Thurs- day, July 28th-both days inclu- sive-the gray line of surviving Senators met in Ottawa to tran- sact the nations business. The Prime Minister alone had the

' power to fill the vacancies caus-

ed by the death of twenty-three Senatorl, but the Prime Minister was apparently alone in Canada in not wanting to replace the dead with the quick. Even the Senate itself debated I Bill in- troduced by Hon. William Euler which would have made it oblig- atory for all such vacancies to be filled now and in the future within six months.

On Thursday. 20th July. the Senate was prorogucd: its

- I955 session was ended. It will

probably not meet again until January next year. There is no legislative work for Senator: to perform until it meets again. so they dispcm-ed to enjoy about five and one half months of holi- day with pay.

T0 LATE TO BE SWORN

Within I matter of hours ofthc prnrogation of Parliament. the Prime Minister announced that he had appointed new Sonata :5. They can, according to custom. be sworn in as Senators only when Parliament is sitting. They must attend I session of the Un- per House in the Senate Cham- ber. and there and then puhllply so cribe In the oath of office. Th lr appointment was I few hours too late to permit them to be sworn in during the 1955 sel- sion. and five and I half months too early for the next possible opportunity.

These new Senators will there- fore not be sworn-In Senators until next year: they cannot per- form any legislative work until next year: they won't even be allotted private offices in the Parllament Building here Imlil next year.

But they have been paid In from the date of their appoint- ment. 28th July 1955.

Every Senator in paid Sl0.000 I year. He receive: this in the form of I cheque for 8606.66 at the end of each month. plus an additional cheque for 32.00000 It the end of December.

Al the end of last month. our thirteen new Senator: were each sent I cheque for four days pay. from 28th July to Slat inclusive. At the end of each of the re- mIinlng five months of thin year. they will each receive I cboque for 866.06. At the end of the year. they will Ilsa receive I cheque for the proportion .of the 82,000 Illnwance IppllcIblI to the

period from 20th July to lat

December. Say one-hundred-and fifty-uven times one thrIe-hIIn- dred-Ind blxty-fifth part of 82.- 000, or 900.27.

Indian And China

Associated Press. New Delhi

How on the worlds two most populous countries-one I democ- I'Icy.the other Communist-stack up in developing their long neglected economics?

The outcome of this contest between democratic India and Communist China will be signif- icant in Asia and possibly else- where.

The Chinese. by publishing pre-

viously secrel figures on their first five year plan." have pro- vided I basis for comparison

with India's "five year plan". A HEAD START

India, thanks to development started under British rule. seems to have had I head start at the beginning of the five-year plan period. China. which can push ahead without the legal obstacles democratic India must face, has set I more ambitious plan.

Steel is one field where China is starting in front. The Reds

claim In production of l.350.000 tons annually In 1052. at the start of their five year plan.

They are setting I target of 4,- Izn.ooo tons by 1957.

India. when its plan began in I951. produced 900,000 tons of steel. By 1956 New Delhi hopes to hIve In output of more than l,m0,000 tom I year. It also ex- pects to have enough steel mills under construction to boost the amount to 6.000.000 tons by I961.

Medically Speaking

SOME WAYS TO RELIEVE A HOT WEATHER TROUBLE

With everyone perspiring more freely these hot Iumm days. youlve got to be especl " careful about underarm odor.

Millions of dollar: have been spent, and many millions more have been netted in profit. on special preparations claiming to halt the offenilve odor. Some of them work pretty well. But there Irc other precautions you can nine to guard yourself against I offending.

First of all. you must under- stand that it isn't the perspira- tion itself which creates the udor. Tests have shown that fresh sterile sweat from the apocrlne glands, which are particularly numerous in the armpits. has re- mained odnrless for as along as two weeks.

It's the bacterial growth in Ipocrine sweat which creates the odor. Thus. to eliminate the odor, you must eliminate the bacteria on your skin.

Tests have proved that certain antibiotics such as tyrolhrilin and chemicals such as hexachlor- ophene, for example. reduce the number of bacteria on the skin

for I considerable length of lime. Preparations containing alumi- I num chloride also lIalt odor. X- - ray therapy usually helps. loo.

Bacteria causing the odor find g

I protective refuge in the hair under the arm. Since it is virtu- ally impossible .to sterilize this hair. your deodoranls will remain effective longer and provide more complete protection if the hair is removed.

cnalvoa rm-ioul.-:N1'I.Y

Your rlolhcs also act as a haven . for the bacteria by absorbing the ; Iiuderwcar should he chaiiged and washed frequently and outer clothing should be laundered or dry cleaned. Of course it's also important. to bathe frequently. Simple remedies for curbing excessive sweating are lotions 1 such as 5 per cent lannic acid. or 5 per cent zinc sulfate. in 70 per cent alcohol: Wipe the skin dry and dab on the lotion several times I day. ' An application of 25 per cent aluminum chloride in water. once every three days. is much stronger and remains effective longer. - Since it is quite acid. don't. use any soap before applying it. And don't let your clothing become wet with this strong solution. However. some people canot tol- erate it It all.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

H.S.A.: Could you tell me what could be done for liver trouble"

Answer: It in not possible to suggest the proper treatment for I you as there are different types of I liver disorders. Your physician I would be best qualified to make , such suggestions as he would be i thoroughly familiar with the ex- act liver condition present.
