' [ivnuxnsnAL backhand Her Maiesty's Message Her Majesty Qticcn

broadcast yesterday followed the

traditional pattern. It was a Christ- mas grecting to all her subjects at home and abroad. a message of hope and good cltecr which we have come to look forward to at this season, and which strikes a more intimate

personal note than the formalities :

of other occasions permit. Many ad- dresses are given by Her Majesty during the Course of the year, but none reaches so many hearers as her

Christmas broadcast. none Comes at ‘

such an opportune time into the sanctuary of our homes and touches such responsive chords of kinship, loyalty and at't‘cction.

The problcms besctting Britain and the Commonwealth at this time are serious and disturbing. It was not neccssary for Her Majesty to re- mind us of these problems. She sought. rather. to put them in true perspective by dwelling on the bonds of unity that are stronger than the issues that divide us. The great family of nations to which we be- long is changing and growing up, but the feeling of “special relation- ship” between the ordinary people of the older Commonwealth count- ries will never be weakened. and the idea of this relationship is rapidly spreading to the newer members and will help us all to realize the ideal of human brotherhood.

The launching of the Telstar communication satellite brought Her Majesty, by an easy transition, to thoughts of that other star which three wise men once saw in the East, and followed to the Cradle in Bethle- hem. Men have always been reach- ing for the stars, she reminded us; but it is only by serving one another that our achievements can be made to count.

Simple, heart-warming words from our beloved Sovereign, which expressed her own personality and concern for the values we all cherish, regardless of race or creed, and which we can take with us into the new year with renewed confidence in the future.

Politicians And The Press

In a debate in the British Parlia- ment two years ago Mr. William Deedes, a Conservative member who is also a journalist and who has since become a minister without portfolio but with the duty of co-ordinating the government’s information ser- vices, made this frank comment:

"The rclations between the politi- cians and the newspapers are found- ed not on sympathy but on antipathy. Both to some extent are rivals for in- fluence over the public mind, and they take good care that neither should achieve I monopoly of it. Therein lies the incalculable value of this re- lationship. because in c o u n t r i e s where newspapers and politicans are in the same camp, there freedom is threatened.”

, Commenting on this statement, I; writer in that great newspaper, the

Manchester Guardian, gives it his ‘

full indorsement. “The press, like

the law," he says, “must never sur— .

render an inch of territory which it occupies independently of the ex- ecutive. Otherwise it would perish . . .. The .press lives on news and till news—as the sharp - minded Mr. Deedes once wrote in I news- paper Irticle—is ‘something th at Iomcbody doesn’t want to print.’ A fImouI journalist.

Cape Breton Protects

The anmiuncement that a $10.- 000,000 United States satellite-track- ing station will be built on Cape ‘ Breton Island, early next; year, is

hailed with satisfaction in the Capo ‘ Breton Post. as likely to bring new , wealth to an area that has depended almost entirely on tourists. and fish- ing. The project will mean a new i community of 200 persons on Mica

Hill. about five miles north of Neil’s j Harbor on the Cabot Trail. In keep- ing track of US. weather satellites, the station will obtain valuable in- formation about cloud movements, Iwinds, major storms and other atmospheric elements. It will figure in service of World-around sCOpe.

These factors of the Neil’s Har- l bor project are of forerunst consider- i ation to Ottawa and Washington. to i justify its location of a lOO-acre plot % within the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. It will, says The Post, be a notable exception to prove the rule that Canada’s national parks are kept inviolate from industrial ex- ploitation. Indeed, it won't. be in the least commercial. There will be no- thing comparable between this pro- ject and mining operations that would scar and deface Canada’s national parks, and that are not al- lowed.

The economic benefits to be de- rived by Cape Berton from the operation of the station and its small attendant community of people en- gaged in its operation have been stressed, and it is a matter of satis- faction that these benefits will come where they are most needed. Through no fault of its own. the community has been struggling along under exceptional difficulties. Anything that has I healthy eco- nomic impact there is of benefit to the Maritimes as a whole, and will be welcomed on that ground.

This is the second »major lift Cape Breton’s economy has received within the past few days. Earlier last week it was announced that the Sydney Steel Plant had received a rail order from India valued at $8,- 000,000. At the same time Ottawa sources pointed out that Dosco Could be expected to receive other Contracts valued at $40,000,000 with- in the next few months. Encourag- ing news, which we take pleasure in reCording.

Gretna's Example

Gretna, Manitoba, is a rural town of some 500 population. Re- cently the Winnipeg Symphony Or- chestra, the Philharmonic Choir and the soloists Lois Marshall, Donna Bourna, Ronald Dobbs and Gerald Loewen paid it a visit. Their purpose-—a performance of Handel’s Messiah. They performed before an audience of 1,100 persons. The Winnipeg Free Press highlights this incident editorially, as some- thing which should help allay the unwarranted assumption that per- ceptive and appreciative audiences are Confined to the big cities.

It’s a good point, and we shall let our Winnipeg contemporary take over in elucidating it. “People who do' not know this southern section of Manitoba. with its large Men- nonite population,” it says, “may be surprised that in a town so small there should have been so large In attendance; but it is no surprise to anyone who knows the cultural background of these people.

During 1962 Canadians owed more televisions —- and spent more time in front of them — than cycr before: they had more cars in their cameos and more chickcns in their pots than over beforc. This was made possible becausc there were more jobs for Canadians than in any prev- lous year. and those jobs were bottcr paid titan ever before. And the unprcccdcntcdly lavish trimmings on our livcs wch fa-

Climate Change

Proves No, Cure

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen

CLIMATE does not cure any disease but it may Influence symptoms and the sense of well being. Count 10 before pulling up stakes when I change of cli- mate is suggested. Visit the area first and avoid a long lease and other committments until convinced the move will be worthwhile.

Consider also the available living conditions and medical facilities. No single region in the United States is perfect It all times; each has its beautiful or equable seasons. separated by months of cold. hot. and hu- mid stretches or hot and dry weather. Air conditioning tem- pers these extremes, making It easier for most of us to tolerate the uncomfortable periods.

Many diseases are Influences by climate. The list Includes coronary artery d l I e I I e with a n g i n a pectoris, high blood pressure, poor circulation re- sulting from hardening of the .arteries, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma. and various respiratory diseases. A climate suitable for one of these conditions may not help another. In addition many personal factors enter the picture.

Avoiding extremes in cold and heat will lessen the drain on the cardiovascular system. But freedom from worry and emotional relaxation also are important. Before changing cli- mate, consider the ltsychic re- action to breaking up the home. along with separation from friends and relatives and lo I I of employment. To paraphrase the Bible. what will it profit a man if he lives in an ideal cli- mate but is so upset, his dis- comfort is.worse than before?

In general. southern Texas, California, and Florida are bet- ter for victims of diseases of the heart and blood vessels. The winters are more comfortable and warmer in Florida than California but the relative hu- midity is much higher in the south in summer. The warm. dry climate in desert areas of the southwest usually is benefi- cial for those u'ith rheumatic and respiratory problems. The dust may bother some and the wide range of daily and IeI- sonal temperature changes If,- fects others.

tI)r. Van Dellen will anSWer questions on medical topics if stamped. self-addressed enve- lope accompaniel request.)

ANGINA WHILE CRAWLING H.H.D. writes: I have angina but get chest pain more quick- ly when I speak or when I get down on my hands and knees. What happens to cause this? R ‘ L

True angina usually follows exertion or excitement. It is un- derstandably why pain occurs on speaking if there is an asso- ciated anxiety or fright. On the other hand, when distress ls re- lated to posture. a cause other than heart disease may be re- sponsible for the chest pain. Why do you get down on y 0 ur hands and knees?

PROGRESSIVE MYOPIA P.D. writes: What would cause nearsighteduess to get worse in a 23-year-old-man'.’ REPLY

This is a progressive disorder and tends to get worse until the midtwenties. Simple myo- pia usually becomes stationary about age 20. Progressive myo- pia may increase up to the 25th year or beyond.

PNEUMONIA AND BATHING

Mrs. D. writes: I have pneu-

monia and pleurisy about every

year. People tell me it's becase

I take a bath every evening. I: this possible? R

L Of course not. Consider how often you bathe without develop- ing these respiratory infections. Look elsewhere for the cause.

Brig bton’s New Look

To- wards thlI end, I grander Ind brighter Brighton Is being thou-

ht of.

It is proposed to erect five magnificent hotels which will be equal to the very best anywhere in Europe.

There will be even more ent- ertainment facilities, bigger shops Ind new and Iter- Iqulpped conference hIlls.

This might mean I great

change, not only In the face of Brighton. but also in its charac-

ter.

It might become less of a place to which tens of thousands of trippers from London and th I provinces go for I carefree hair- day outing.

Officials If present don't want to discuss the delicate question. But it seems certain that if Brighton’s dream of being a con- tinental centre In realized. cer- tainly the exuberant type of tripperI would be stemly dis- courIged. and the practice of changing Into bathing costumes on the open beach will be frown- ed upon more than ll the case It present.
