PAGE 4 SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1966. Brighter Prospects It is to be hoped that the general meeting planned for this afternoon be- tween representatives of both sides in the recent labor dispute which has _4mmobilized-a-large_part_of the con-

struction industry of the province will turn out as expected, and that the

troversial ground here, but he doesn’t

seem to care.

Defense Minister Hellyer, of course, couldn’t afford to make a statement like that, he being in pol- ities, and all. But he has indicated that he isn’t turning gray over the beard problem. While he has declined

- comment, an aide said he was up to

his sideburns in more pressing prob- | ‘ems of unification.

* “If beards:were all. we had to worry about, we wouldn't work up much of a lather,” the aide said. ‘I am sure we can come up with some regulation to curtail beard growing and at the same time not rock the traditional navy boat.”

Our Farm Prospects As reported by Agriculture Minister MacRae, farm production reached an

all-time high in this province in 1965, |

with Wollar sales over $41 million. The

Beards No Problem

“According to the national defense department, the growing of beards is not expected to spread to all three

—_ services when unification of-Canada’s

defense force is complete. Unification of the navy, army and air force will take place within the next year, but the popularity of beards among navy personnel won't spill over to the

other two services.

Well, that’s a relief! Under pres- ent regulations, navy personnel may grow beards if their commanding of- ficer approves, but the navy doesn't encourage the practice. In the last war, beards tended to collect oil when . ships were sunk and men Were-some-

-times suffocated. In addition, they

interfered with the wearing of res-

pirators. Any navy rating who applies

to.grow a-beard is not allowed shore Teave until his hirsute decoration has grown to a presentable length— a pre-

caution which tends to discourage _

heard growing by shore personnel as i will among land-based army and

_ air force men.

At least, that’s the opinion of Rear-Admiral C. J. Dillion, deputy comptroller of the navy, who is sure there will be no rush to emulate the navy practice. “These days,” he adds parenthetically, “beards are generally associated with rather peculiar people such as beatniks, protestors and the great unwashed.

_ Gone Into Retreat Canadian political leaders who are under fire—and aren’t they all,

|. from time to.time?—are presented: by’! the Ottawa Journal with a news items— _ which, it suggests, must cause them a | -~moment’s envy. It has to do with one

Purshottam Kokodkar, leader of the Congress Party in Goa, India, who has just let it be known that he has gone into retreat for meditation.

As our Ottawa contemporary ‘says, , the cruel but efficient parliamentary system demands that leaders be on view and be prepared to answer questions when, in hours of embar-

meditating alone. And think of the relief it would be if they could go into retreat in this fashion in the middle of an election campaign, and pop up, strengthened and refreshed, for the

_ final rounds, without questions asked

or loss of political face? And wouldn't the country itself stand to gain if its leaders—and their sup-

‘ports too, for that matter—took more

_time for meditation and less for promilse: -making. not to speakof — “scandal mongering and scuttle- butting,” as Mr. Pearson used to call it before the Munsinger case came up. Philosophers have long extolled the virtues of meditation; why shoudn’t politicians find it equally beneficial?

But according to The Journal. ‘there’s one small catch in India. Traditionally, the man entering the retreat favored by. Mr. Kokodkar

gives away all his worldly possessions.

Well, bully for :you, Sir Ber- nard. The fact is that every UFO sighting has not been ex- plained not by scientists, and ‘not by the American Air Force, which has been collecting UFO reports ‘and data since 1947. Of more than~ 10,000 sightings re- ported, 646. still remain unex- plained.

Maybe it’s stretching a point, but a few hundred years back those individuals who suggested the world was round were being listed as crackpots. When it comes to UFOs we seem to be getting a like reaction, with the so-called intelligentsia scoffing

and -scorning the mysterious objects in the sky. Maybe the whole business is | nothing but a chain of unusual 'fricks of nature. Maybe they | are marsh vapors. Maybe they jare_ all optical illusions.

they? However quick the | and the American Air Force are to come up with plausible expla- ‘nations of the UFO sightings, | there is still much that. is not, ,cannot yet be explained. And where there is doubt, any mea- | sure of doubt, how can one talk unequivocally and with scorn ;on the matter? ~
