Island Products Week

It is a happy coincidence that with the annual meetings of the Maritime Provinces Board of Trade in Charlottetown this week, the im- portance of local enterprise in pro- cessing and canning Island-grown products is being highlighted in a campaign sponsored by our Junior Board of Trade. It is customary, in stressing the importance of our agriculture and fisheries, to f0l'gPl that we are also progressing indus- trially so far as these prime indus- tries are concerned. Today we have fifty-five canneries in addition to dairying, filleting, freezing and other plants handling Island products. and these industries are deserving of every support. Many of them are ex- porting to other Provinces and are establishing an enviable reputation on a quality basis. If our own Island people would patronize these indust- fries more, talk more about them and bring their activities to the at- tention of visitors, it would be an in- centive to further enterprise and pay rich dividends to our producers in stabilizing prices and expanding their markets.

Some idea of the quality and variety of our Island processed foods will be given in the central display which is being arranged for this week in the lobby of the Charlotte- town Hotel. The display will be. shown in connection with a Prov- ince-wide publicity campaign. The visiting members of the Maritimcs Board of Trade will be presented with samples of some of our leading products, and other means will be taken to emphasize this important phase of Island industrial activities.

The Junior Board of Trade is to be commended on its initiative in launching this campaign, and our producers and government officials in cooperating to make it a success.

Cal Legislation

Among all the strange and cour- ageous things that have been at- tempted by town councils, an ord- inance recently enactcd by West- bury. N. Y. must surely be given high place. 'It calls for a curfcw for cats. On and after a certain date it will be unlawful for any member of the feline community to be at large after .10 p. m. Even a single meow aflcr that hour will be enough to put the offender behind barseprovided, of course, it can be apprehended. The calls guardian will be fined so much. depending on the gravity of the offence.

(ionic to think of it. who ever heard of a cat that would obey an nrdcr? it can be led-provided thc leading does not interfere with its own plans-but it can never be driven. This is the case even indoors, when- some measure of human discipline might be expected to have at least a token influence for good, even though it might signify nothing more than condescension on the cat's part; but outdoors it is doubly so, for there

The Scientists Disagree

Meetings of nuclear experts are so conymon these days that very lit- tle attention is paid to them ordinar- ily. There is still plenty of mystery attached to their particular jargon. but it has not the fascination for the layman that it once had. Repetition has dulled wonderment. A recent meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, however, is of special interest because it revealed unusual disagreement among the physicists themselves on the oucstion of the possible effects of nuclear reaction.

Sir Robert Robinson, president of the Association, wanted to know if there is 100"; proof that the earth's atmosphere could not be set on fire by an uncontrollable hydrogen ex- plosion. Even the tiniest fraction of a doubt, he declared, might conceiv- ably result in the destruction of the world. lie seemed to think that that fraction exists, despite all the precautions that have been institut- ed by the scientists. Other members of the Association ridiculed the sug- gestion. ”We know of no physical process whatever," said one of their number, ”from which an uncontrol- led chain reaction could possibly emerge." They may not know of any; but, as Sir Robert pointed out, that is -not proof that none exists. And until the entire scientific com- munity is certain that the danger is out of the question and can prove it by irrefutable evidence beyond the smallest fraction of a doubt, public confusion on the subject will con- tinue to grow. Come to think of it, no expert or group of experts has yet put forward any compelling rea- son for continuing experiments in hydrogen explosions on an ever in- creasing scale.

EDITORIAL NOTES

At last the scientific researchers nave got around to the lead pencil. A seven inch one, they report, can write exactly-45,000 words. It can be sharpened 17 times.

An astronomer has announced that, according to his calculations, the universe is expanding only one- third as fast as was thought four years ago. He added, however, that it will be ten or twelve years before he will be able to make exact meas- urements. In the meantime we shall have to try and get along with- out that bit of important knowledge.

There is one picture of himself that Donald Cameron, :1 Maine fish- ery guide, is going to prize very high- ly, whether it looks like him or not. It was painted and presented by Prnsident Eisenhower whom Mr Cameron guided on a fishing trip this summer. The President not only painted it but framed it.

According to a rcport from the food and Agriculture Organization there is more meat in the world now than at any time since 1945. 1954 production was up 16"l in 23 coun- tries compared with the first post- war year. The supplies include beef. vcal. pork. mutton, and goat. Thr biggest gain has been in Western Europe. 25')? more than at the end of the war.

Every three hours of the day. notes an exchange, one Canadian dies in a traffic accident. Traffic fa- talities in Canada have climbed steadily since the war. There were 1,663 traffic deaths in 1946; 1,759 in

The postwar traffic death toll ex- ceeds the number of Canadians kill- ed in all the land battles in which Ca- nadian troops fought in the 1939-45 wpr and in the Korean conflict.

OTTAWA REPORT

Profitable B. C. lnveslmenl

Iy Pnblck Nlchollol

Ottawa: Some newspapers have recently been pouring praise on Ray Lawson. Canada's Consul-Gem eral in New York City. for his energy and imagination in launch- ing the project to build the private- ly-financed Canada House in New York.

Ontario": former Lieutenant-Gaw ernor is the father of this idea. But he may well have stolen the idea, in an even better form, from British Columbia.

Further afield than New York, and with its very real light hidden modestly under a bushel, is a Brit- ish Columbia project which knocks this Ontarian's plan into the prov- erbial cocked hat. This is British Icolumbia House. In London Eng- and.

Thai well known address, No. 1 Regent Street. costs its province nnt one nickel. The expenses of the salaries of the Agent-General for British Columbia and all his staff, their office expenses. and even their official entertaining are, i am told, all fully paid for out of the rents of the 70 other offices contained in British Columbia House. Canada House has no such grandiose ambition to save the taxpayers pocket.

THE OLD (MACMDAM

The Agent-General, Mr W.A. Mc Adam. completed last month what is probably a record. He has now held that post for 21 years, after being official secretary in the same department for 11 years.

It looks as if he will be playing

Mr. McAdam says he would like to see touring made easy in the reverse direction. He wants a I many British-tourists as possible to visit British Columbia hi 1958. when his province will be celeb-

HONORARY STIGMA

The Ontario Government's in- tention to print the reinstated licen- ces of convicted drunk drivers on red paper will certainly stigma- tize thm. This move has been wei- comed as "an effective way to deal with the driver who doesn't drive safely." says the chairman of the Canadian Highway Safety Confer- ence, Mr. Brooke Claxton, the re- tired Llberal Cabinet Minister.

In line with honored custom, it was suggested that the first of the new red licences should be issued complimen anly to Mr. Brooke "Road Safety” Claxton himself. On sober second thought, it was real- ized that this gesture might not be an unalloyed compliment. So if Mr. Claxton is to get a red license he will have to earn it himself the hard (liquor) way.

THE COST OF DEFEAT

It in said that there is no winner in a modern war. The Americans are learning that it is costly to have been a loser in an old war. One of the incidental of building the St. Lawrence Seaway has an unintended angle which twists the dagger in an old wound.

Canada and the United States will share equally the cost of re- habilitation made neceuary by the raising of the river level along the International Rapids section of the St. Lawrence, west of Corn- wall. Ontario.

Amongst the populations to be rehoused, the buildings to be mov- ed. and the amenities to be reloc- ated. there is an old memorial commemorating the victory of Can- adian troops over American troops at the Battle of Cryslei-'5 Farm in l8l2.

Half the cost of moving and re- building this enduring record of their defeats will fell upon the American taxpayers.

GLEN VALLEY ROAD

Sir,-on opening your paper on the morning of Sept. 7 I came across I letter headed "No Place To Go" which was signed "Truth- ful Tory" from Fredericton. R.R. He tries to explain about the I0- called cow path from Fredericton to Glen Valley. In the first place it is used more as a cow path in the summer time, while in the winter our Trulhful Tory can't get anywhere because of the snowdrlfts; so while he and his Liberal neighbour: relax by in fire, in I nice warm room, the mailman breaks the road all by himself to bring them their mail as well as their 3-oceries and tobacco.

H Mr. Large and Mr. Stewart would just close we oow-path and then follow the course on by the "l percent" Liberal commit- tee man's property it would serve more taxpayer: and our mail- man would have an improved road to travel over at all times. Our "Truthful Tory" could then join it n short distance from his own gateway and perhaps when "Reg" gains power he could have his lane bulldozed, loo, lice his Liberal friend across the field.

”Tnrthful Tory" tells us that the last election was compared to a ateamroller running the Con- servatives down, I wonder where our "Trutihful Tory" was at that time. or has it taken him the last six months to get dug out. from under the snow or maybe from under the Liberal ballots.

ASSAULN NEW BRIDE

GUELPH, Ont. (CP) - James Leeder, 17. was sentenced to six mobths in jail Friday for assault- ing his bride of three weeks. Leederls mother-in-law said he kept his wife in her nightdress all day to prevent her seeing her mother. Magistrate Fredeiic Walt called Leader a "coward" and said he regretted he couldn't order the lush.

DON'T THINK OF SURGERY AS A DREADED ORDEAL

i To many of you. an operation is a frightening and dreaded or- deal. While no one looks forward to surgery. you should not build up needless fears.

Probably your main concern is about being anesthetized. You're afraid you will go to sleep and not wake up. Perhaps a discussion about anesthesia and just how safe it actually is will help you ease your fears.

In one form or another we have hadianesthesia since the dawn of history. The ancient Incas dead- ened surgicar pain with coca leaves and by dripping cocaine-rich sal- iva on wounds. Assyrian and Egyptian surgeons compressed the carotid blood vessels in the neci of a patient to produce short-liver' artificial sleep. Modern method lure much better.

The most widely employed in- halation anesthetic today is user either alone or in combination will

nitrous oxide. But i h e r e arr others, including: ethylene. cy- clopropaue, divinyl ether (vine-

th e in el and trichlorethylene (tri- lenel.

INCREASINGLY POPULAR

intravenous anesthesia has be- come increasingly popular and is currently used for more than one- fourth of all anesthesias. The most commonly employed agent is thiopcntal sodium. These nn- estliesias are far short of ideal. but surgeons have established an impressive safety record with their use.

A recent survey by the Harvard Medical School in ten leading un- iversity hospitals showed that the overall death rate was one death per 1,560 ancsthcsias during a five- year period. This record is even more remarkable when you real- ize that many patieuts are already desperately ill and near death when anesthetized.

When ether alone was used the death rate was only one for each 2,500 anestheslas. It was one per 5,300 anestheslas with cyclopro- pane and one per 14,600 with ethy- lane.

Sometimes, however, these ax- lremely safe agents alone do not produce sufficient muscular relax- ation for easy surgery. Then. I muscle-relaxing agent like curare, the South American arrow poison must he used along with the prim- ary anesthetic drug. The danger is greater in such cases. but even so, the Harvard study showed one death for every 712 anesthesial.

And use of 3 new muscle-relaxer, viadrll, promises even greater saf- ety.

So you see, your ” of

Age, it would seem, In not a matter of years. We have known men who were old at thirty years others who were young at eighty. It's an individual proposition, as some business firms are beginning to realize. A man or woman who is physically and mentally fit to carry on his or her work should not be penalized because of the number of years he or she carries. For age gives "a stability and far- sighted apvroach to many prob- lems in this world, which nothing else will give. Nothing will ever take the place of experience.- Cleveland Plain I)ealer:.

Without ever having seen the man, we've acquired a great lik- ing and admiration for Col. Lee J. Davis, who commands the anti- alrcraft defences in the Detroit area." Showing reporters over the uew Nike sites, Col. Davis told them that ”our defences are cap- able of destroying any airplane which can attack us today or in the next few years." We don't know whether this is so. But we're so eternally weary of hand-wrin- gers. breast-beaters and all the other gloomy characters who go around yelling that we're pawns in the hands of atomic fate-and probably destined to be pretty un- lucky onu. too-that when 1 man stands up and says. in effect that we can lick the bums any day in the week, we're all for him. -Detroit Free Press.

Many married women collecl ut- employment insurance they're not entitled to. asserts the Vancouver Province, which apparently doesn't. mind stirring up a peck of trouble. The Vancouver comments are based on 1 recent brief in the Unemployment Insurance Com- mission. which Mrs. Falrclougb, M.P. for Hamilton West, has de- scribed as "slanderous." The brief contends that many women who leave their job: after marriage and claim benefit: on the ground they are seeking employment. do not really intend to return to work.

Answer: I know of no ovidmce that eating candy or too. many sweets would have any adverse effect on the tonsils.

Of course. excessive lvvooh should be avoided to prevent h- terference with the appetite In other foods.

But he knew their thoughts ud said to the man which had In withered hand, Rise up. and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. Then said Jelus unto them, I will ask you one thing: In it lawful on the Sabbath days to do good. or to do evil? to one life. or to destroy it?
