Good News From 'Quoddy

in towns and villages around the Passamziquoddy Basin there is much rejoicing these days. for at long last after much annoying de- lays there is real hope that a survey of the much talked alnut tidal pro- -ject will be luldcrtaken. P91'hf”-P3 within a matter of days. IlI'):nbers of the International Joint (?imnis- sion which has j1ll'is.licliii ill s l 'h matters are actually on tltc SWI- True, they have been more many times before. But on those prcvl-HIS occasions they were sinwlv -("1"I'.Vs ing out routine assignzn-ants with not much backing from govern- mental authorities and with no as- surance of money to lend i'l'e'l?flC9 to their good intentions, This time llhings are different.

"Wfllll specific orders from the American and ('ana.dian Governments: and these are expected to be issued momnntarlly. According to General A". .G. l.. M(-Naugihton. chairman of tb e Canadian section of the Commis- sion. the survey will be conducted "with no avoidable delays and no lack of onergy". This is especially good news to "Down Easters" who. rightly or wrongly, have been a little inclined to blame General Mc- Naughton for the Commission's failure to recommend the develop- ment wholeheartedly in the past. They say he has been a bit. too Icar- ful about the possible effocts of the project on the fisheries. Bi that as it may, it will all be forgotten in the excitement attending present acti- lvltics. The survey itself will take at least. three years. perhaps longer. and of collrse there is no I fling how it. will come out.

Tyro In Debate

The House of Commons should be the place for vigorous debate. but there are wcll defined limits to the manner in which members may indulge in personalities. Many Con- servatives as well as Liberals will fccl that Mr. Charles Van llornc, Conservative member for Resti- gollchc-Marlawziskll, was cnlircly out of order in some of the com- ments attributed to him in a Cana- dian Press report of Tuesday's pro- cccrlings. Thcsc commcnts provoked rctorls in kind from the govern- ment side. all on the subject. of the recent N ew Brunswick election campaign.

Mr. Van llornc is a now mem- ber. having takcn his scat. as the result of a by-election in Septem- ber, 1955. He is a lawyer, and therefore supposed to know more than the average back -henchcr about parliamentary procedure. He ishould also know that offensive rc- marks are as much an affront to The dignity of the House as they would be to the Bench at a court mien, and that as arguments they

Anli-Senate Sentiment Opposition leader Drew is not the only Canadian who would like to see the Senate made over hm an active and useful institution; "reformed" is the word he used, but it means the same thing. Norls C.C.F. leader Coldwell the only Canadian who would like to seejlt abolished. Whether he is justified in saying that line majority of'Can- adians would back up hlls demand If thcy wcrc given the opportunity, It is 2i fact that there is a goad deal of anti-Senate sentiment abroad in the land. Unless something is done to take the Senate out of its pre- scnt position of lethargy and seem- in: noll-p;ll'ilclpzltloll in any meas- urc of parliamentary responsibility, it is ccrtoln that that sentiment will grmv within a few years to the point whore nothing that any Gav- ernmcrll can do will be able to save the institution from the anger of its foes.

For ouitsclvcs, we like to think that most Llzuilulialis. or at least a great number of Canadians, regret the circumstances which over a period of years have led up to this outcry 2lL(lilliST the Senate. Cm- stitutiollully. it does have a place and an impm-tlult one in our politi- cal system. But. as matters stand, how can rho critics be blamed for saying that that place is so deeply hidden in tho sllatiiws of partisan politics Lliat it is scarcely notice- able? Thc very worst thing that Senators can do. if they really want to hold on to their sinecures, is to rail against public sentiment and say it doesn't matter.

Filling Tribute

Mr. llzu-vy Truman's visit to l-Inglalul has prompted many warm trihutv: in Hm British press. One which he will appreciate particular- ly. as bcing couched in his own str.'uglitforward language, comes from the London Daily Mirror. The Mirror recalls that when Mr. Tru- man was ”pllchforked into the Pre- sidcncy of America toward the end of the war." few people gave him any chance of making the grade. But he proved all the critics wrong, dead wrong.

”Surc." adds the editorial, "he was a little man. But he never shirkcd big dectsions. Think of them now. The use of the atom bomb. Marshall aid. The Berlin airlift. Re- sistance to aggression in Korea.

"And after eight gruelling years as President, Truman knew when to quit and how to quit the political fray. llc moved out with his own typical dignity.

”ilal-ry Truman steppcd down from powcr politics as unspoiled a man as when he stepped up. He is still unspoiled. llis hat still fits him.

”Harry S. Truman is one of the reasons why some of the icicles on the'lx'rcmlin have thawed."

EDITORIAL NOTES

Squid are rcported plentiful in Newfoundland. That will be a worthwhile aid to Premier Small- wood in the coming election. For some years now, the valuable fish have been tardy in arriving at their summcr haunts.

When President Tito of Yugo- slavia was in Moscow he was quot- ed as saying "we are now a part of the Soviet family." He claims now that he was misquoted; what he actually said was "we and the Run- sians are part of the same family".

OTTAWA REPORT

At Your Service

By Patrick .NICI'lOI.1lI'l

OTTAWA: if you think the gov- erumrnt ls dniul: a good jolt. write and tell your M.P. so. Even better. write and tell the Prinlc Minister too.

But if you Illlltlf tho goxcrnmcnt is doing a poor job. write and tell your criticism to your M P. Even better, write and tell the Prime Minisler and any other prominent M.P. so too.

The Canada Post Office is at your service, free of charge. to

enable you to keep in contact with .

your elected Parliament hcre in Ottawa. You can mail a letter or package without a postage stamp to any Senator or M.P. here. and the Post Office will dclivcr it frcc of cost. This servicc matches the (ranking privilege through which any Senator or M.P. can send mail free or cost to any address in Can- ada.

This is the only way. between elections. mu wr the VOI('I'S can make our wisllcs know to i'.lrl- lamcnt. isolated suttgcstions or plaudits or complaints arc merc- gadcll. But a tidal wave of letters from many elm-tors. hombarrling many M.Ps causes a real flutter of talk and consideration here. And if that tidal wave is suffic- iently insistont. you can be sure that the "voice of the people" is dismissed in the secrecy of party caucas. Tlu-n in riuc ('oursc it is reflected upon the floor of the House of Commons.

PARLIAMENT HEEDS YOU

What you and your friends and neighbours write to your own and to other M.Ps today is noticed lnr the form of new policy or new criticism in the House next. week or next month.

I asked the postmaster at the Parliamentary Post Office. right here on the ground floor of thc Parliament. Building. about this franking prlvilcpzc.

Any letter addressed to any Sen- ator or any member of the House of Commons is carricrl free of charlie by the Post Office. he told me. Tile nnlv qualification. he add- ed. is that such n it-ttrr must he addressed to the rcccivrr at ”Parl- iament Building. Ottawa, Ontario.”

No stamp is necdcd. Similarly a Senator or MP. mailing .1 lcltcr from the Parliament Building to any point in Canada can just ini- tial it. inslcad of stamping it: and the Post Office dclivcrs it free of charge.

This privilege is in force from ten days before the opening of each Parliament until tcn days after lhc close of the session.

FIRST CLASS MAII. ONLY

I asked the Postrnastcr if this free mailing privilege applies In letters only. He informed me that it covers any letter or package sent by first class mail.

MP: use this privilege extens- ively. for writing to their conslit- uents and for sending them cirru- Iars or copies of their spccrllcs reprinted from llansard. Quite an appreciable mnil. thnulzh smaller than the outward mall. comcs in to MP3. Some of these incoming

Navy's Heraldic Badge

(fanndinn Press. Ottawa

(lTTAll"A it'll! Tllc hcralrlic badge lives on in the Royal (lana- (linn Nzivy.

The small mcdzliiiom hlmosl. un- noticeablc on the nftcr-canopy. is one of the last links between to- day's warships and the history and tradition of fighting ships of past ccuturics

All Canadian navy ships. like those of nlllcr (lommonwcalth na- vics. carry I)Il(li.!FS. Tlicir story goes back more than 500 years.

FAMILY TRADEMARKS

In the wars of mcdlcval Eng- land. seagoing knights wnrc over their suits of armor loose-fitting coals bearing the heraldic marks of their noble lluusl-s. These fam- ily ”t radcmarks" were also pninictl on their shields and on

the standards they carried into battle. Thc Crowsncst. monthly RCN

publication. says that bcforc the First World War there was liiilc or no official control over the kind of badge a ship might wcar.

”in some of his mnjcst.v's ships more was much head-scratching and probably a little recourse to inspirational tonlrs when badges wore to be designed." it adds.

When chuirc of shlps' badges began to decline into ribaldry, the Ilrilish mlnlirnity put its foot down and dccidod to put the matter on an official basis.

RIBALDRY R EMAINED

Rlbaldry wasn't entlrcly elimin- ntcd in lIlf' ('.'lnadian navy during the Second World War. though.

The Crowsncst recalls that one sturdy llltlc corvette displayed a badge that was the pride of Ilcr ship's company but rather star- tling for women visitors. On the corvcttels gun Ihield was drawn a large playing card. the queen of hearts. 4: fair young thing in short skins falling stern first into a puddle of water. The ship's nalm-'? W1-tmkiwin.

HISTORICAL THEME

Cmdr. Bcddoe produced dozens of badges. Many have their theme in English or French history but the Canadian touch has never bren lost sight of.

The badge of the new St. Laur- ent, for instance. shows a white whale symbolic of the St. Lawr- ence Rivcr and. superimposed on it. a grid. The third-century St. Lawrence was roasted alive on a grid and is said to have I t d his persecutors with the words: "I am roasted on this side; turn me over and eat."

From the final drawings. pal- tcrns are made in aluminum from which copies of the badge are cast. in bronze for the ship and her boats.

Thp choice of mottoes Is left up to the captains of the individual ships.

The Crowsncst says it is hardly likely that Daisy Mae. Mickey Mouse. Pluto. Donald Duck and nlher cartoon character: will ever again decorate Canadian navy ships.

Your doctor probably will advise a second tablet if the pain is not relieved within eight minutes. But don't take any more on your own. If two tablets don't check the pain. summon your doctor right away.

FUTURE ATTACKS

There are also things you can do to help guard against future at- tacks. If you develop angina after a hot bath. restrict your bathing to tepid water.

If your attacks begin after walk. ing. be satisfied with short. slow iaunis in the future.

Sometimes attacks follow eating. it this in your case. try frequent small feedings instead of one or two large meals.

Smoking might be a contribut. ing factor. If you've had several attacks. it might be a good idu to give it up for a while to see how things go.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

A.S.: What would cause per- sl;tent vomiting in an infant boy 5 months old?

Answer: There are many causes for this difficulty. It may be due to a feeding problem or a formula incompatibility.

There is a dlaeue. known 3; pyloric stenosis. in which the open- ing from the stomach to the in- testines is closed. which may rare- ly cause persistent vomiting.

It would be well for your infant to be thorouzhly examined by your physician immediately.
