Good Friday

It is well that the jarring sounds of cvcryday life should he stiiiwd to- mm'i'nu'. the most solemn date in the ('hristian calendar. Good Friday has always been regarded less as a holi- dav than as a day Of medllatmn. and in many parts of the W0FId It is liII.x'tll'Yf'il with instill: and prayer. It bids the ('hristi:in take stock of his faith and its relevance tn the life of today. But it bids him do so. not just in the light of the contemporary scene. but in the light of history and the cross; and in the light of the ccntral belief that this day recalls-- that God, in Christ. has not aband- oned his world.

Not without significance (I065 Good Friday mark the pause be- tween the departure of winter and the arrival of spring. It is the season when we may most effectually re- mind ourselves of the marvellous revolutions of nature. The earth is about to emerge from the cerements of winter, and the seeder to go forth, as he has done from the dawn of ordered time, and sow his seed for the sustenance of the human family. All this is symbolic of the Resur- rection, to which the gloom of Good Friday is but the prelude. Out of it will come the brilliant dawn of Easter. and in glory that will trans- figure the world.

Famous Battle Recalled

More information on one of the world's decisive battles Is coming to light as archeologists dig into Ger- man soil near the modern industrial city of Neuss. on the west bank of the Rhine. Among sites being exca- vated is a camp believed to be the hasp from which the Roman general Varus set out on his famous journey Into Teutonic territory early in the first century of the Christian Era. The campaign turned out to be one of the most disastrous in Roman annals. It changed Europe's course and laid the foundation for future German power and Influence. Before being sent north to com- mand Roman forces. Publius Quinti- lius Varus had been a counsul and a governor of Syria. The man who tricked and defeated him was a German chieftain known as Arminius to the Romans, Hermann to the Germans. Leader of the Cherusci tribe that had come more or less under Roman domination, he had returned to his homeland after serv- ing in the Roman army and becom- ing a Roman citizen. According to the story pieced together from anci- ent sources. Varus in 9 A.D.. crossed the Rhine to establish summer camp. There he met Armlnius and other appenrcntly friendly Cheruscl. and Bructcri tribesmen. who plotted to draw the Romans into the wilds and annihilate them.

Lured by reports of a tribal revolt farther east-and ignoring all warn- ings from loyal followers-Varus and his legions pressed beyond the Rhine valley into the highlands of the Tcutoburger Forest. As they marched. the Romans were burden- ed by heavy baggage and hordes of camp followcres. including women and children. Tolllng up and down the hills, they were forced to cut their way through forest and thicket. when torrential rains fell, further hampering orderly formation and use of arrm.. the Germans attacked from all olden. In the holocaust that followed. Varus was wounded and

A copper statute of the chieftain in battle dress and with sword up- raised stands a few miles from to- day's factory and tourist center, Detmold. on the edge of Teutoburger Forest. Called Hermannsdenenkmal (Herman's Monument), it towers more than 50 feet above a 100-foot. arched-stone base. How well the statue and the man it honors are known is illustrated by a recent incident. By mistake, a picture pub- lished In a New York newspaper carried a caption calling the work a memorial to Bismarck. A horde of admirers of Arrninius sprang to the attack, waving letters to the editor instead of'swords.

New Brunswick Comment

('anaria, sa ya the Fredericton fllcnner. has just had a practical demonstration of how Dominion- Provincial relations should not be conducted. It was referring to the "mvm--payments" of Dominion sub- sitiy to a number of the provinces. including Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. The announcement from Ottawa that the provinces con- cerned will not have to refund any actual cash, but can make their payments in the form of deductions from their next five annual Federal grants, somewhat eases the prov- ince's embarrassing situation. but does not alter the fact that a serious error was made in the first place.

”Calculatlng subsidies on a basis which was known might require rc- funds was a fundamental error and. in retrospect, it seems incredible that it was done," say our Fredericton contempory. "Payments from the Dominion to the provinces should certainly be calculated on a once- and-for-all basis as far as annual in- stallments are concerned. Or, If ad- justments have to be made it should be a stipulation that they would only he upward.

"It must also be noted that the error was due to the fact that the provinces, although their population did increase substantially in the five- year period concerned, did not make gains on a par with the national average. As two of the Maritime Provinces were involved, it is ob- viously seen that we have again been the victims of the regional inequality which has plagued us for many years."

EDITORIAL NOTES

The robins are back, anyway. So Spring cannot be far behind. I I O The Egyptian Government says that Israel "is planning new aggres- sion." This is a signal for the Israelis to be on their guard. I O O Evidently. the Canadian troops in the Middle East are getting along pretty well. According to the De- partment of Defence. only two soldiers have been sent home for "disciplinary" reasons so far. It was rumoured that these two deliberate- ly got into trouble in order to be sent back, but Defence Minister Campncy says there is nothing to substantiate the rumour. I I O The Premier of Japan who is to visit President Eisenhower in June says that "adjustments in basic thinking rather than concrete changes in relations between the two countries" will he the principal aim of the talks. One has to admire the Oriental finesse in differentiating be- tween words which carry the same essential meaning. 0 O O A Springfield. Mass.. man sewing a life sentence for murder has been released following confession of the crime by another man. This is one instance where the system of capital punishment would have done a ter- rible injustice to an innocent man. Perhaps the possibility of mistaken verdicts is theono great argument that the opponents of the death penalty have on their side. 0 O 0 An official of the Government of Pakistan says that Communists "are trying to divide the people of Pakis- tan and break up Pakistan." Cer- tainly. What else had he fonnerly believed they were there for? And if the Government Court crack down on them in time, they will succeed just as they did In Oahu.

Radiation In Everyday Life

A. W. Haslett in the Winnipeg Free Press

London - There is nothing new In being radioactive. Even our most remote ancestors must have had small quantities of radioactive forms of potassium and carbon in their bodies, as well as much smaller quantitics- of radium. From this rariinactiviiy which they carried round with them.

they were rxpnscd. as we are. to I

high energy radiation.

In the bricks. mortar. and wood of our houses, there is furth- er natural radioactivity: and from outer space there bears down on us a sparse hut sicntly hail of still more penetrating rruliulinn.

To these natural sources. man has added others in the present century-X-rays used in medicine and industry. the luminous paint. of watch dials. and television screens. Beside thcm. atomic en- ergy in its peaceful uses contribu- tes. at the present time a source of additional exposure for groups of specialized workers in indus-

try. IN PROPER PERSPECTIVE

There are some of the points made in an exhibition arranged by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority. whiclt n med at the Royal Society of llca th. Lon- don. last month. Its purpose is to explain the nature of this high- encrgy radiation; to show its ef- fects in materials and living cells: and to place the extra exposure from peaceful atomic energy in its proper proportion.

From one section of the exhibi- tion. the visitor may learn that his house-so far from protecting him against natural radiation- ndds in it by just over 50 per cent. A typical indoor rate of ir- radiation in Britain in 0.078 roent- gens a year; but that out-of-doors is only 0.0-Ill roentgens.

Radioactivity within the human body is probably highest in bone: it is here that radium-contained In minute quantities in food and drinking water-tends to accumu- late. In an adult of average age. It amounts to roughly half the indoor rate of irradiation from outside the body- But all parts of the body are radioactive: for in- stance. rndionciivc potassium. pre- sent in all tissues. contributes a relatively large amount. MAN-MADE CONTRIBUTIONS

Of man- made contributions to radiation. the most important has been the increasing use of diag- nostic X-rays. But in most coun- tries this is still well below the natural do.-c-rate: the effect in Britain II in add over a quarter to the natural dosage. Television. already mentioned. is not .1 very serious nffcndrr. Averaged over the whole population. it adds less

than one per cent to the total.

More recent sources of radia- tion illustrated in the exhibition include examples from the atomic energy industry and research. These affect only comparatively small groups of workers. not all of them concerned directly with atomic energy. For example. in the laboratories of industrial firms as well as universities, there are many machines which accelerate nuclear particles to high encr- glcs. Their uses range from re- search on the forces that hold atoms together in the experiment- al preservation of foodstuffs.

In atomic energy proper. the main sources of radiation arise from the fuel elements used in nuclear reactors. Not only do

these fucl elements become high-

ly radioactive during use, but it Is necessary in process them after use. Both while in the reactor. and in subsequent treatment. there is need for stringent health precaut- ions at all states. But in all these cases those responsible for the work are familiar with the prob- lem: of radiation.

REQUIRI-II) PROTECTION

The extent of protection that is required depends on the nature of the radiation in the particular case. Radiation is taken for this purpose to include the particles that nre cmittcd when atoms break down radioactively. as well as X-rays and radiation of the same kind as X-rnys that some radlnaciivc materials give out.

The simplest of all means of pro- lcction is to keep as far away from the source as possible. At double the distance. the intensity of radiation is reduced to a quar- ter; at four times the distance. to a sixteenth. The other general rule is that protection by inter- vening mntcrinl depends on the sheer mass of material used- Ncutrons. produced In the work- ing of nuclear reactors. and. on n small scale. in laboratory prepar- ations for research. are a special case: specific absorbing material: are available.

The last section of the exhibit- ion shows the types of damage that are produced by radiation in human beings. and in living cells in general. The effect that is pro duccd at the smallest dose-rate is probably a slight reduction in the number of white cells in the blood; it is the one. at any rate. that In most easily detected. More apoc- tacnlar are the effects produced in the chromosomes. or bearer: of hereditary qualities. In indivi- dual cells-Iatcr photographed un- dcr the microscope. It is in chang- es of this kind that genetic effects originate.

Fantastic Soviet Financing

By Thomas I'. Whitney Associated Press News Analyst

The announcement that the So- viet government. with a snap of its fingers. is cancelling more than three-fourths of its national debt shows what in strange thing the Soviet Socialist economy really is.

Try to Imagine the furor If the United States government were casually to reveal that within I few days it would wipe out the value of most outstanding U. S. government bonds. Banks would close. Insurance companies would shut their doors. The entire eco- nomy would shake and the gov- ernment would totter.

The Soviet preu Wednesday carried the news, moth public by Nikita Khrushchev in I speech.

that the Kremlin for the next 1) or 25 years will pay no interest and repay none of the principal on rubles worth of slate bonds the Soviet citiunry bought involuntarily.

That amount ficlnlly 000.000 -- represent: the largest portion by far of the private nav- lnga of Soviet citizens. It was taken out of their pay envelopes over the last two decades and longer. an average of about seven per cent of their wages every month.

VICTORIA BRIDGE

Sir.- I suggest that the Minister of Highways. Mr. Maclfay. when next he travels from home to his office in Charlottetown. or vice versa. take a little trip from The

Trans-Canada Highway at the An-' glican Church. Crapaud. to the village of Victoria. so that he can have in good "look-sec" at the con- dition of this Iiighly-loolcd paved road that was given tso lilr. Mac- Kny says) to Victoria in a com- pensation for the loss of the cen- tury old bridge. Some compensa- tion. if that was the best the P.E. I. Government could do! I assert that the people of Victoria are entitled to have as good a road as the T.C.II. considering the shabby way they were treated in being cut off from a direct link of communication eastward.

The late Jones Government had declared they were not going to keep up two bridges on the same river. when they built the one at Hall's Crossing to carry over the T.C.H. Why did they lay that zig- zag road there? They said it was a concession to Victoria. lot was it a snp'?t. If so. I claim it was practically no benefit to the wel- fare or the build-up of the village. It did not bring more traffic or more business whatsoever.

At the Inst provincial election we were led to believe that something fine was to be done for this sec- lion. We saw in the papers a pic- ture ttakcn from a plane) of the old bridge, and the village. This gave everyone the impression that Victoria would be helped to de- vclnp into a grand tourist resort. However after the election was past and gone. said impression soon faded away. and we began to realize that it was only A "pipe- dream".

So much for election hopes and promises! The best they could do was to lny down this stretch of light pavement on this busy high- way. So now we invite all comers tincludlng the Minister) to take A good look an its present condition.

I am, Sir, eic.. A RESIDENT.

In 20 to 25 years the Soviet Union

l is supposed to be enjoying a state

of "commttuls-u" - as distinct from the present "socialism"- and Communist citizens won't own such private properly u bonds.

Money in the Soviet Union is worth whatever the government choose to make It. The Kremlin sets all wages. all prices. and con- trols all production and finance In the Soviet Union. It can itiphon rubles out of the pocket so quietly that the average Russian doesn't know where they've gone. He only known theyire not there.

The Kremlin fixes price: for consumer goods and services for above what it com the govern- ment-tbe only employer-to pro- duce them. The difference it col- lects makes the sales and excise taxes of capitalist countries Iopk mlu opic.
