The Repul3licans' Turn

The scene has changed. Instead of the stocky ard district of Chicago it will be the Cow Palace at San

Francisco. In some other respects, too, the Reptiblicz-ui .'x'ationul Conven- tion licgiiuung lotlzrv will differ from that ol the l)emocr;tts a week ago. To he sure. there will be the usual display of nonsense, arrogance and attempted identification of the party with mp Iiiiinc Wisdom. all of uhlrh have been iticorpwatcd into t Ani(irl(';lr1 pre-election articles of I faith. lint the evirlcnccs of uncer- tainty w hich cliai':tctei'ix.cd last week's convention will he lackiiig.

There is no question on whom the mantle of favotir will fall for the first place on the ticket and hardly any with respect to second place nomination. Unless President Eisen- hower at the last moment should frown on Mr. Nixon-a most un- likely occurrence-this part of the proceedings will be over and done with before, or shortly after, Mr. Stassen or any other dissident gets around to saying "Mr. ('hairman." This means, of course, that there will be no occasion for the intrigue and scrapping of the sort which kept the Chicago meeting in a state of tension and confusion for a good part of the time.

Then, too, the Republicans feel

certain of victory A provided Mr. Eisenhower stays in the running- something which could not be said of the Democrats last week, despite the bold front they tried to present to the nation. Ironically, the best reassurance the Republicans have for their confidence of victory came straight from the Democratic Con- vention hall. Former President Tru- man's categorical assertion that Mr. Adlai Stevenson could not possibly win against President Eisenhower will be quoted over and over again; it might even find an honoured place in Governor Langille's key-note ad- dress. Incidentally, it is to be de- voutly hoped, for the sake of Ameri- can prestige abroad, that this key- note address will be an improvement over that delivered by Governor Clement in Chicago. Certainly It could not possibly be in any worse form: for such a hodge-podge of puerile demagogy, sickening emo- tionalism and downright sacrilege surely was never seen or heard on sea or land. There were fine senti- ments in it, of course; but most of these were crowded out by the foolish ones.

Fortunately, key-note addresses are not taken seriously by the elec- tors, nor are they intended to be. So it isn't likely that the Democratic prospects will be affected one way or the other by Governor ('lement's venture into oratorical asiniuity. The trouble is that citizens of other Countries who have not been initiat- ed Into the mysteries of convention procedures are apt, to take them very seriously indeed.

Anyway, by the end of the week the general pattern of the campaign will have been established. Barring any serious and unexpected deter- ioration In the health of either of

' the nominees, it will be Eisenhower vs. Stevenson. In so far as each is able to influence the conduct of his colleagues-there will of course be limitations in each case--there is every hope that Issues and not de- rnagoglc sidetracks will dominate the campaign.

Assault on Antarctica," tn the Au!- ust National Geographic Magazine. Admiral Byrd tells of the work of the latest. foray into the frozen south and its part in preparing for the coming International Geophysi- cal Year, 1957-58. At least 10 other nations are joining the United States in the An- tarctic phase of the geophysical un- dertaking. Bases will be manned around the white continent, while scientists probe earth and atmo- spheric mysteries of an area nearly twice as big as the United States. Though the campaign is for science. it is using many of war's tools-- ships, planes and pondcrous tracked vehicles. Its "troops" are as hlElll.V trained as any a fighting war de- mands. The preliminary cwcfillion alone included 1,800 men. seven ships and nearly a score ol aircraft carried and flown in. Forty illustrations and an Antarc- tic map with the Geographic article bring to life the expeditions sur- roundings and achievements. Ships, men and machines are s h a r p I y etched against the blue-white tints of an empty world of endless ex- panses and giant walls of ice. Orange - and - black helicopters take off to deliver cargo and shuttle staff officers between ship and shore. Iluskies, symbol of early exploration and still used in rescue worlt. stand beside modern snow tractors. Men play softball on a frozen field. chart flights beyond the Pole in small rooms of base huts, test ”survival suits" in near-freezing waters. and move mountains of material under a gale's lash. Operation Deepfrceze set up two main bases 447 miles apart in the Ross Sea area. One was an Air Operating Facility built by Mc- Murdo Sound. The other, Little America V. chief United States scien- tific post, rose on the edge of Ross Ice Shelf 30 miles from the buried sites of four previous bases. Little America I of 1929 lies under Little America II (1934). "L.A." III and IV were built in 1940 and 1947. The current station is a village-sized camp of shelters not only designed for 100-below-zero temperatures and 100-m.p.h. winds, but equipped with such comforts of home as daily movies, innerspring mattresses, hot and cold running water.

There and at McMurdo Sound the 166 "overnighters" work and await the coming of next fall's big task force that will complete and staff the research stations and carry on the expedition's job for science's all-out Geophysical Year. By Christ- mas of 1957, Admiral Byrd esti- mates, the year-round population of Antarctica will be many hundreds, of which 15 will be Americans living and working at the geographic South Pole.

KAFIIINS A WARLIKE RACE

To the north of the Wa states. the Chinese are in the territory of the Kachins. a warlike people who plagued the Japanese invad- ers in World War II.

Themselves invaders from Tib- rt some 50 or 60 generations ago, the Kachlns are short and stur- dy jungle fighters. Something of their temperament. religion and the dangers they face in their daily lives is revealed on one of

their oaths:

"If I lie," they say, holding their swords over their heads. "may the tiger eat me. may the Water Spirit swallow me up. may the lightening strike me and may I die a violent death,"

When the Chinese opened the frontier post of Wanting to serve the Burma Roads in 1937, the Ka- chins raided It. killing officials and destroying buildings.

The boundary between China and Burma in the area has been a matter of dispute for many years. Where the line has been fixed, tn esmen often take up the marker stones to use in grind- ing grain.

Coming In Time

(Montreal Star)

Canadian public opinion on the fluoridation of public drinking- waler supplies is a long way from being unanimous, either for or Illllnst. In the first place-be Ieive lr or not- 23 per cent or those questioned by Gallup poll lnvestagatora had never even heard of fluoridation. How they I would decide when or if they did hear of it is anybody's guess. Those who had heard about it were di- vided between 41 percent who fa- vored it, 18 percent who oppos- Ored ii. 13 Per cent who oppos- ed it and the same number who had no opinion, one way or the other. Accordingly, the percent- age of those favoring it out nf the hundred Gallup "samples" is not high enough yet to give undue en- couragement.

The reason: given fnr wanting fluoridation are decidedly more definite and Informed than those opposing It. The former are bas- ed on well-established data, taken from observation over some years; prevention of tooth decay with its effect on public health; benefits pmven in test areas; lower dental bills. etc. Objections are notably vague and In some instances dis- proved: may not be necessary; might be detrimental: would cost too much;nffccts taste of water, etc. The poll reports that many objections came from rural areas where fluoridation is not practi- cal.

Objection, while It should not be discounted. should not he elghter too surprising or too disappoint. Inn. in greater or less degrees it has appeared In all cases of new medical and surgical treat- ments of mass application. Not a century has passed since there was the strongest opposition in the use of anaesthesia in child- birth. There were riots within liv- lng memory In our own city op- posing mass vaccinatloif against smallpox. now accepted an a nec- essary preventive before any child enters a public school.

. ml CONDITIONING ISN'T AN UNQUALIFIED BLESSIG

AIR CONDITIONING m I k e e these hot summer days and nights much more comfortable for many of us. It is a great help to asthma and hay-fever suffer- ers too. But it may also present a problem In certain Instances.

It may feel wonderful to enter I cool home, office or railroad coach after a walk under the. brolllng sun. But this sudden need for readjustment upon entering a cool area from a warm one can place a strain on your body.

The strain is even greater If you are hot and persplring.

CHILLS THE BODY

The cooler air rapidly evaP0' rates the perspiration from your body's surface. This in turn may cause chilling.

It might be especially notice- able among you t-ommul.e-rs who .run for a train and work up a sweat. Then, sitting in an air-

work or en route home, you may become chllled.

Sitting directly in front of an electric fan. of course, may have the same effect.

Actuallly going from an alr- con- ditioned train or building into ex- tremely lint weather might help to bring on a common cold. While you may easily adjust to an air. conditioned atmosphere and spend several comfortable hours there, yttur nose may give you trouble.

COLD GERMS

It might be chilled sufficiently so that it is difficult to adjust to the high outside temperature, And noses that have I hard time ad. justing to temperature hanges offer ready prey fllr cold germs.

Frequently a sudden change from cold air to hot air brings on I smothering sensation and nasal congestion.

It is very Important that you

don't ovcrexert yourself just be- fore entering an air-conditioned room or conveyance. Don't over- exert yourself at any time, for that mattter.

31" "'3 Especially important to guard against it in warm weather. Any strenuous acltvlty you must perform during lint weather should. lspossible. be reserved for air-conditioned aurrmmdlngg,

QUESTION AND ANSWER

O.C.: I have had asthma for I number of years. would air travel be harmful in my case?

Answer: Unless there is accom- panying heart failure, I see no reason, why air travel should prove harmful or bring on an at- tack of asthma.
