Sound Advice
We may escape the confusion Of a general election in Canada this year. but were bound to hear the rumblings of the presidential cam- paign across the. border. with their inevitable exaggerations. It is time for us to exercise. care in assessing
all-the political statements tiat come from that quarter. This advice is offered by an
American exchange. which points. out that when the world was a roomier place. campaign misinfor- mation carried less danger than it does today. It did not threaten the unity of a great peace-keeping ai- liance. nor did it so immediately 'add to fears which might already be pushing opposing rations toward a "brink." Nowadays election-time posturingv by political parties and candidates in any major nation can project false impressions about nat- ional attitudes among hundreds of millions of people.
This would be true in any Ameri« can presidential campaign year. But. the usual risks are. compounded this year. not only by sharp divergen— cies between the leading candidates about foreign policy but also by the fact that the next. most. important member of the Western Alliance is also holding national elections this fall.
While. President Johnson and Senator Goldwater are pushing their points to the utmost for or against this or that. aspect of American foreign policy. Britain's Prime Min- ister Douglas-Home and the Labor Party leader. Harold Wilson. will be heading campaigns in which Britain's alleged subservience to Washington will either be argued explicitly or will he not too far in the background of the debate.
Obviously the. possibilities of the American and British elections for promoting misunderstanding among the Western allies could prove a windfall to propagandists oh the Communist side. Moreover. there are, two other important nat- idnal elections projected for the not. tbo distant future—in West Ger- many and Ill Fi'ance—dwhich will give a special edge. to politics in those. countries and to the responses of their peoples to declarations— sound or unsound—by American and British candidates.
First Things Last
Amid the inspiring goings-on here in the Cradle of Confederation we are reminder] by a now nation- ally-known political reporter that "this is the summer when the poli- ticians of Canada turned their ticks on the needs of a nation in 1 ferment to act. out. an interminable grade called the Great Flag De- te. In doing so. they’ve manoeu- vhred themselves into arguing over hat is. after all. only an emblem nationhood, while resolutely ig- ring those problems which threat-
the nation's very existance.” The writer of these lines is Peter C. Newman. author of the controversial book. “Renegade in Power: the Diefenbaker Years." in Inmmary of which appeared in serial inn in The Guardian some time p . Mr. Newman is n0w contribut- a series of articles on the. flag
open; with. a castigation of the . of both the major political ' for allowing the symbol of ' ‘hdtionhood to assume preced- itu reality. w he notes. the price of 3:2“ mt. has passed the half “‘ ‘ since it takes approxi- ‘ ‘ of the toxpoym'
1 money every day to keep Parliament in sessron. But this is the least of
‘l its costs. We’re also bound to pay for the neglect of other business more vital to national interests. and in the damage inflicted on our in- ternational prestige.
“Parliament is behaving.“ says Newman. “as though Mavor Moore had taken over the Commons to run the flag filibuster as a Spring Thaw rehearsal on a grotesque scale.” But the blame isn't all placed at the Op- position lcader’s door, though he is charged with having mired him- self and his party in the rut of a hopeless gesture. “Why did a world statesman of Lester Pearson's obvious sophistication suddenly drop everything vital to the survival of his country to stake his career on something we’ve managed to do without for nearly a hundred years with little visible damage?”
The answer. says the writer. "seems to be that. although each man is now engaged in a battle which could destroy him before it ends. in joining the struggle both leaders thought that they recogniz- ed in the flag issue a decisive boost to their prestige and power."
This, he claims. is particularly true, of Diefenbaker; “but by de- liberately making the flag a fiercely partisan issue, by failing to consult. the other parties in his design and introducing his pennant on a rushed and shifting schedule. Pearson has cornered himself in a barely ten- able position.”
Meanwhile it's the country that suffers most—and this at a time “when the rest of the world has been concerning itself with large events. and one in five Canadians continues to live in poverty."
Atoms For Peace
Scientists from all parts of the world have gathered at Geneva this week for the third United Nations Atoms for Peace Conference. This conference represents a distinct ad- vance over the second one which met three years ago, when the gen- eration of atomic electricity was in its early development stages. To- day each of the three countries most advanced in the field—Great Britain. the Soviet Union. and the United States—is producing roughly a million kilowatts of nuclear power. From now on. they each expect their nuclear power capacity to grow quickly.
What this industry may mean and how its benefits can be spread, ‘ is what the current conference is about. A new and abundant source of energy is now being built into the world’s economy at a pace that should assure there will be plenty of electricity available when coal, gas and oil begin to run short. For some. areas.- this will happen in a few decades.
Neither Russia nor the United States needs atomic electricity for a long time to come. Each has an abundance of other power sources. But. if the atom is to be ready to take up the slack when all this runs out. it must be developed on a large scale long before the need arises. Britain faces a similar outlook. It is relatively rich only in coal and the atom is being counted on heavily in its long-range planning.
Six years ago expectations of the growth achieved today would have been fantastic. There were virtually no atomic power accom- plishments to talk about. Now a new industry centred on the atom is growing in Western Europe, in Japan and in India as well as in the countries above mentioned. What is important about the whole move- ment is that it is a cooperative effort to insure world peace and productivity on a scale never before attempted.

93km} REPORT by
Of Dentures
By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen
Dentures are good substitutes for real teeth but have one if advantage — they cannot iden- tify bones in meat. toothpicks in veal birds. or a hunk of unchew ed meat. Those who love game birds would be extremely care- ful because of the possibility of small bones or shotgun pellets.
We are not trying to belittle dentures. They are a mankind but carry the risk of swallowing or checking on sharp or large objects. 0n the other hand. when dentures are not worn. and the oldst-er is careless about mastication. he may find himself in trouble when he tries to swallow a large piece oi steak.
Dr. Paul G. Bunker of Aber- n. S.D.. believes some of the sudden deaths blamed on the heart are caused by choking on unchewed food. The combina- tion of dentures and overindui- gence in liquor could prove fal- al. Dr. Bunker cites several cas- es in which an autopsy revealed unche'sed food obstructing the windpipe, In is doubtful whether any of those people could have been saved because emergency care is ncedcd.
If a smaller object is inialed. it may not produce complete ob- struction. Choking occuls for a few minutes but the incident is forgotten when coughing stops. The next day wheezing or astli. matie bronchitis develops.
A chest X-ray may not show anything because meat. carrots. and other soft objecis do not cast a shadow on the film. Com- plications arise and ultimately special procedures are suggest» ed to detcrm‘n-e whether the lung harbors a foreign body.
Il is easier to practice preven- tion. Denture wearers should chew their food twice as long as when they had natural teeth. Ex- tra precautions are needed in preparing the meals. Never
MP5 Hit On New Dieting Scheme
Do you want a sylph — like figure and improved general Lh'l
While debate in the House of Commons and the attention of Canadians a re concentrated upon the tinting of a piece of bunting. no attention has given to the far more interesting ‘ and personally important sub- ject of the new Parliament Hill diet. Diets are a recurring fad among politicxans who find that their sedentary life is add- ing to their waist - line. But a diet. which permits you to stuff like a hog and attain a waist like an hour - glass at he same time is real news.
The secret slipped out when I noted the gargantuan break- fast being enjoyed by Murdo Martin. the 47 - year old 263- pound New Democratic MP for Timmins. His modest menu consisted of three fried FEES-i
six pieces of bacon. sausages and two large cups of coffee with cream.
"SLIM" MARTIN'S FEASTS
"I suppose that's your only meal of the day?” I asked him seriously.
“The only meal before my lunch of a cold plate and‘ cheese. and my dinner of jelli- ed consomme and a large.
steak." he replied. This is his new d i e l. he explained. and when I raised my eyebrows in
wonder. (to said that he has dro- pped from 264 pounds on 27th May to 242 pounds this week. “The amazin 5: thing about this diet is that you not only take off weight. but you take it off in the right place. Look at my belt." And he waved an overlapping end a foot long. “I . have taken scvcn inches off my 3 waist. which is now down to 35." The diet was prescribed. hat

Hitherto. ; Indonesian "guerrillas"—whichi consist largely of Dr. Sukarno's 1 regular forces ~ had confined themselves to forays across the borders on Borneo. an island which Indonesia shares with Malaysia.
Now. however. the Malayan peninsula. the seat of the feder- al Malaysian government. is to become the new theatre of Dr. Sukarno‘s operations.
The men landed included re- gular Indonesian soldiers. Chi-' nose. and disaffected Malayans. and ticir landine place wa s carefully selected: the force dis— embarked near the backward villages in the Pontian marsh" es in southwest .lohore.
Here the villagers maintain a traditional outlook which in a y often be at variance with the i more progressive outlook in Mal- ‘ ayu's cities. and they had look-} ed up to President Sukarno in a way in which Arabs in many»

he has reduced his own weight from 216 to 170 pounds. and cut his waistline from 46 to 35 in- hes. “Its a matter of eating a diet which matches the composition of the human body." he explai- ned. "Our body contains about one-tenth of one per cent car- bohydrates. but the bread and the pies and he potatoes and the sugar we eat contain at least 15 per cent carbohydrates and a lot of other things as well.
Our body has-no organ for stor- -.

} REPLY
This is doubtful. unless lne ointment causes marked irrita- tion. Now and then cancer co- exists with hemorrhoids. and the search for the source of bleeding stops when the hemor- rhoids are detected. In time. the growing cancer causes other symptoms and a more thorough examination uncovers the sion.

“Finest View” Delectable.—
Ottawa Journal
For the sake of argument. he 1 says. a correspondent asserts that the finest v‘ew in the world I is from the Gatineau Hills in the Fall looking West alone the gold and scarlet of the Ottawa Val-
ley.
Two immediate responses to this were a claim for the Bras d'Or Lake country in Ca pe Breton and a 11 01h e r for the Ghost River Valley between Cal- gary and Banff in Alberta where the foothills meet the mountains and the mountains meet the sky.
The fact is that Canadians have become more interested in views. In the beginning 1 h ey didn't have time. what with In- diaus. breaking land and get- ting enough sleep. Now the Ian la conquered enough that it c n be admired. with the help of col.
or-film cameras. and the appre- c‘ation of views is no longer the prerogative of old ladies. vapid Englishmen and draft artists.
Nowadays arguments on views cannot be limited Io Can- ada with Princes Street in Edinburgh. and Apple-blossom time in Southern France only a few hundred dollars' worth away.
And who are we to say th 9 Grand Canyon is any the less for being American or the bes- ches of Barbados reduced in beauty for being beyond our borders? .
We hope no argument on view: will ever be concluded by victory on one side or the other. If they are lnlermlnable— and polite— so much the better.

. One of the more gripping sus- pense stories taken from rea l . life was related over the BBC J recently by Ian Harris who had i been a teaplanter in Assam.
Relaxing in his bungalow in, the blazing heat of the day. ‘ie t was roused from his book by the l i sound of a loud sniff and looked ; up to find the largest tiger he i had ever seen—taller than a donkey—regarding him with lips ‘ drawn back in a snarl.
He knew that a tiger did not attack unless wounded. or un-. less it was a man-eater. and that onlv two per c e nt were . ‘ man- eaters. But the very pres- i once of the beast seemed suggest that he was one of the dread two per cent. ~
