Caught Napping

hlcmbers lrom this Province are said to be among the most attentive to their duties in the House of Com- mons. Apparently. however, there are many supporters of the govern- ment in power who are lax in this respect. Tlicy were caught napping ycsierrlay by the (K717 leader, in .1 most i'lai;i'aiit mzuiner. Mr. Coldwell was iaikim: about the government's plan for blink loans on farm-stored ' grain when he looked around and saw there ucre INTY Liberals in the House. ”I.ct's sce how many Liber- als are intcrcsicil ill this vital issue," he said. and moved that the House, sitting in committee. rise and re- port progress. The Government was beaten 46 to 36 on the vote! It didn't fall because the vote came only on a technical issue; but it was a point

admirably scored by the CCF leader, and it is to be hoped it will have a beneficial effect on Liberal

attendance during the rest of the session.

Our parliamentarians at Ottawa are handsomely paid for their ser- vices, and there is no reason why shirkers should be tolerated. Some of the absentees may have been attending to other necessary busi- ness; but the corporal's guard they provided to support the government in the House yesterday was inex- cusable on any ground. It is to be hoped that Mr. Angus lVIaCl..98.f1, as deputy whip for the Conservatives, keeps his colleagues under better discipline.

. Minister L'Heureux

, Signifying the importance of the United States Consulate in Montreal --the busiest, it is said, on the Con- t-inent-the Consul General there, Mr. H. L'IIeureux, has been raised to the status of minister by order of President Eisenhower. This is an imusual distinction.

It is not the only distinction, however, th at belongs to Mr L'Heureux. Many years ago he Itarted a project of his own which he called the "One-Minute Prayer for Peace Movement." Its adherents ,-and there are thousands of them in many parts of the world-pause for one minute each day at noon to bsk God's help in solving the many problems arising from International differences and disputes. Many times 'Mr. L'Heaurcux has stated his con- viction that prayer is the greatest force which men have at their dis- posal. Pcrhaps if all the diplomats bf the free world were to share his conviction and set apart that one minute a day for mcditation and Ipraycr. added strength would come ifo their efforts to preserve the peace in a world troubled by the

-fear of war. Ccrtaiiily. their politi- ,cal and economic councils would be fno less effective for it; and they (might be aided immeasurably. In ;any event it is somehow good to

know that the representative of a ;great power in Canada's largest

,-city believes. as Tennyson believed,

that ”more things are wrought by

;pI'ayer than this world dreams of."

I M. MoIIet's Prospects

Everybody who has a tender ;place in his heart for France, the -home of much of the culture which 'helped to build Western civilization as we know it, will wish Premier ,Guy Mollet every success in his cour- lageous efforts to give his country Igood and stable government. This, not only for the continued existence -of France as I world power and ally .'of freedom. but also for the welfare :of mankind; for the disintegration of French political institutions, jwiiich has been I distinct possibility ;more than once since the end of .World WIr Two, would be I cal- amity for all free men.

The prospects, however, do not gqppear very bright. True. M. Mollet OWII elected Premier by I big major- ,lty; but. unfortunately, that is no

rate, an almost inevitable preface to hastening his decline in political prestige. Today. the word 0 the new Premier may seem capable f stand- ing against the world: tomorrow, it could well be. there will be none so poor as to do him reverence. That seems to be the way of French poli- tics these days. as a goodly number of French statesmen who have held office for brief periods in post-war ycars can attest.

M. fi1ollcl's chici troubles, of course. will come from thc associ.1- tion of convenience hc has been obliged to make much auaiiist his will. with the Communist bloc, which, incidentally find not plcasant- ly. is the biggest siuglv party in the ASSUnlltI)'.

For. what- ever else may be said about Til lien- dcs-Francc, no one would wager vcry much on his willingness to play second fiddle for long in any assoc- iation of his peers. There is, of course, ”a first time for every- thing": and it maybe that M. Mollct will set a happy precedent in French post-war politics. Nevertheless, the 'peculiar intrigues he will face, and the problems that are common to all French governments these days, added together, make up a formid- able obstacle to a long and success- ful term of office.

Medical Research

United States Senator Margaret (Thase Smith of Maine has intro- duced a bill calling for an additional expenditure of a billion dollars. ti year for the next five years for medical research. Reports from Washington indicate that the bill will receive sufficient support. from both parties to ensure its passage lnI.o law. t

It has been pointed out by stip- portcrs of the measure that at pre- sent, funds from all sources allocat- ed for this very important work amount to less than one-half of one percent of the. national defence bud- get and no more than what is spent yearly on ”monuments and tomb- stones". Other statistics, provided by the Hoover Commission, show that of all the money spent by gov- ernment agencies for all sorts of research projects, less than one per cent is earmarked for the fight against disease.

This state of affairs, which cer- tainly is not confined to the United States. is one for which there would seem to be no justification what- soever. There is no reason why this matter of medical rcsearchshould be left largely to the philanthropy of individuals and organizations, al- though. of course, this has its place in any overall program. Univer- sities. hospitals, private laboratories, and other institutions qualified to engage in this all important branch of public health should be able to count on definite and generous fed- eral grants. It seems wrong that they should not know from day to day where the money is coming from.

EDITORIAL NOTES

An American educator is quoted as saying ”if we can avoid inflation, the standard of living of teachers will raise as the economy expands.” Most teachers, one fancies, would like a little raise right now, before it has been determined whether in- flation can, in fact, be avoided.

RURAL MAILMEN

Sir.--l was most amused the other day to read a letter in your Forum signed by a man. ”Waiiing For His Mail”, as I see it. this man would like to get maybe three tinics as much for his potatoes but don't anyone else ask for a raise.

I would like to make myself quite clear; I am not a mailman or a mailmau's WIIi'. I would also Isk the writer of ”Waiting For His Mail" to again read the first letter of "Snow And Mud”. he will note that there is no mention of any special mailman. but an appeal on behalf of all mailmcn.

He speaks of the hardships of linemen. Well I agree with him; but whom do you suppose has the must clear money at the end of the month? Surely not the mailmen. And good luck to the linemen, 1 would like to see them get more. He -also speaks of the farmers

going through slush, muck and, slavery, well I have been a lot of

farms on P.E.l. and I would say that any farm that exists on slav- cry and muck in this day and age is poorly managed or obsolete.

In my first letter I asked that we give the mailman our support. I still say give him support. I don't ihink there are many mailmcn who will go against the farmer or try to keep him down. even if he were to get 5500 a bushel for his potato- es. Other organizations and clubs have raised their standard of liv- ing by unity and friendship toward cach other. If they were to continue as a divided group then there could be nothing for them only slavery and poverty. such as we witness in some countries today: countries which are being told to take their people home because they are only trouble-makers

Let us continue to cniny the "Lace Curtain” which we have.

DAIIKYING AND Pl'Bl.liilTY

Sir.--The gcncral principles of your editorial on ”D:iiryiug and Publicity". in January 21 issue, won hearty cndnrsalion in this rural household. While supporting your proviso ”Wc doubt whether the problem is as simple as all that". in spuiligliling the terse views cxprcsscrl by Sir. Deputy Minister of Agriculture for Nova Scniia. indicating the ob- vious nced for stepping-up the pub- licity and promotional campaign of Canada's -145.000 dairy farmers. II was the following thought in the editorial wluch has inspired this letter: "lint there is no question that publicity plays an important part. and that an aggressive sales policy not confined to sporadic campaigns but continued through- out the year. and year after year. would do a great deal to lift the industry out of thc doldrums".

In closing, may I just say that there certainly was something for the rank-and-file of our dairy farm- ers to ponder in the above speak- er's forthright statement. concern- ing the 3330.000 which the Dairy Farmers of Canada obtained from its members last ycar:r "This means that 445,000 Canadians dairy farmers are willing to spend only a little over 72 cents apiece on be- half of their own industry. and they expect I bang-up pronmllnnll job for their widow's mite."

An item in my prairie farm Journal contributes a handy meas- uring tape with uhicb in 'li:irness' the latter pattern and give il power In 'do things in the mind of your spccdiest reader - or the Ilowest: "Ford of Canada spent 85.000000 on advertising in 1954".

Parliament Building Fire

By B. L. Jones Canadian Pnu, Ottawa

On a cold February night 40 years ago fire of mysterious origin swept through Canada's old Par- liament Building. reducing the fine. goihic structure to a blacken- ed shell and taking seven lives.

The members were in session. discussimz Atlantic fisheries. on the evening of Feb. 3. 1916, when chief doorkeeper Charles Stewart flung open the massive Common: doors and shouted: "There is I big fire in the reading room; every- body get out quickly."

Members, spectators and news- paper men made for the exitI. Di- vision bells were not ringing in the long corridors Is a warning but apparently they were not heard by all. The fire burned Iii night, grilling Parliament": big centre block.

Exact cause of the fire hu never been determined. But In official inquiry found I "strong suspicion of incendiarism" and pointed to agents of Germany then at war. Ottawa's fire chief of that period. J. W. Graham. said there was little doubt the fire was "set and well set."

The day after the fire, the Com- mons and the Senate met in the hurriedly-converted Victoria Mu- seum which was to serve as Can- ada's parliament building for the next four years.

It was there they planned the new centre block, its gothic Irchi- tectural theme retained. which to- day dominatcs Parliament Hill. The new building cost approxi- mately Si3.000.000.

All that remains of the original buildings are the east and west blocks and the parliamentary li- brary. which sits behind the centre block and whose fire door: shut out the flames in 1916.

SECOND FIRE

The library has since survived another fire. In I952 ii stubborn blaze burned in its dome for hours before firemen put it out. Thou- sands of valuable books were dam- aged and the library was so soaked with water and chemicals that I rebuilding job was ordered. It is expected to be ready this slimmer after an expenditur of some 32.- 500,000

The viciinis of the 1916 blaze in. eluded lwo women who were the guests of the Commons Speaker of the day They were In his chambers when the fire broke out and per- ished tlicrr. apparently unaware that there was a private exit that would have led them to safety.

Another was B. B. Low. Liberal member for Yarmouth. He and .I. B. R. Laplantr. assistant clerk of the House. were trapped in tip-

slairs rooms. Three other men were killed uh... a lower on which ilinv were directing a stream n

water collapsed and crushed them.

A commission under the late Judge Duncan MIcTavish was con- vened lo investigate. It got its most sensational evidence in written form from John R. Raihom. then editor and general manager of the Providence. R.I.. Journal.

Mr. Rathnm reported that three weeks previously he had received information from employees of the

German einbassy in Waslungton that Canada's Parliament Build- ings would be destroyed by fire. He had communicated this to H. Snowden Marshall. I U.S. district attorney. hill the latter had not relayed it to Canadian auiliorities.

One of those who still has vivid memories of that night in I916 is Liberal Senator Charles Bishop. Then a working newspaper man for the Montreal Star and the Ottawa Citizen. he was in the Press Gal- lery when Arthur Ford of the London Free Press came in simul- ing to his colleagues: "The House iI on fire: beat it."

All the newspaper men heat I hasty retreat into the night to watch from vantage points as the fire licked up through the building. They watched as the old clock in the centre block's tower recorded and rang out each hour through the fire until, on the last stroke of midnight. it crashed down through the flaming ruins.

The bell from the old clock was retrieved from the wreckage. To- day. still bearing the scars of its fall, it ails on I granite base be- hind ihe Parliamentary library, its plaque telling tourists the story of the night Canada's Parliament Building was wiped out by fire.

Medically Speoking

By llcrmn N. Bundelcn. M. D.

ACUTE BRONCHITIS MAY DEVELOP COMPLICATIONS

This is the season for colds and

Ordinarily, acute bronchitis in

I mild disease, but it can be un- comfortable. And, of course. there always is danger of complic fious such as pneumonia. ' A sore throat, pains in the mus- cles and back. chilliness and a general poor feeling usually are the first sympi.oms."l'he tempera- ture. in simple cases. probably will climb to 101 or 102 degrees and remain there for as long as three to five days.

DRY COUGH

Coughing at first will be dry, but within a couple of days you'll be able to bring up bronchial secret- ions. Coughing actually helps re- covery.

Since acute bronchitis frequently is caused by a cold or an influenza virus. your best bet for avoldinrz it is to keep up your general health. Avoid exposure and becoming tired and chilled.

Once the syinploms bcizin how- ever, you should go In bed and stay there until your fever has sub- sided.

It's probably best to stick to a bland dict, avoiding fried fuolls, pastry. raw fruits or vctzclablcs. pork. coarse-bread or ccrcal.struug cheese. rich desserts, spices. cof- fee and meal brolhs.

Milk, of course. is the basis of any bland diet.

Your doctor probably ma)" ad- vise a codeine mixture in control your cough. If coughing is irritat- ing and continuous. he Pl'0l)iIIlI.V will suggest a steam vaporizer be used in the sickroom constantly to keep the air luunid.

MUSTARD PIASTER

A sore chest usually can he re- Ilevcd by a flaxsced poullice or an old-fashioned mustard plaster.

Penicillin or sulfonamides may be called for if your fever remains high for any length of time. but should only be taken under the dir- ection of the doctor.

Once the attack is over, lake It easy for several days. Don't rush back to work or leap Into your normal daily routine. Failure to follow this advice might land you right back in bed.
