THOSE BOND Issues

The christened spirit in which the Opposition members returned home yesterday is reflected in our cou- temporarys editorial corn ts. It no longer refers to thc "huge bor- rowings" of the Maclvlillan Goiern- lnent, as it did persistently during the legislative recess. Instead, it re- fers to the authority given the Gov- ernment to issue‘ debentures for $200,000 (for the purpose of con- structing a new ferry steamer for the Charlottetown-Wacky Point ser- vice, for repairs to the Provincial Building and for permanent surfac-

ed highway) and says that if all this, ' Government $15,570 for legal services

A BRITISH SURPLUS

Almost to the end of thc British financial year, there was specula- tion as to whether the United rhuig- dom would end up with a small sur- plus or a nmoll deficit; Actually, however, the final figures show guitc a comfortable surplus, amount- ing to £7,500,000 or roughly $36,000,- 000, l. sum not to be despised even on so largo c. total accounting. This may look small when compared with last year's thumping surplus of over 231,000,000. But. as the Montreal Star points out, it looks very hand- oome indeed when contrasted with tho $38,000,000 deficit of two years 980- '

Mr. Buchan is neither the first commoner outside the Civil Ser- vice to be appointed a governor- general in the Domlnions, nor the first to be appointed Governor cen- eral of Canada. Lord MacMi1lan has been searching the records and finds a precedent in 1968 when sir John Young was appointed to suc- ceed Iiord Monck, after whom Moncton was named. 1t was two years later that SirRobert was rais- ed to the peerage as Lord Llsgar. 1t ll expected Mr/nuchoh will re- ceive a. cimilar honor prior to his assuming duty, which ls unlikely l0 be until after the election.

What this may mean for tlfbllly weather is some- thing for the scientists to argue about__apd for experience to show. For the ordinary reader, meanwhile there is something exceedingly fascinating about the thought of these titantlc disturbances-unl- maginably vast cycles in flaming gas-taking place far off in space,

It will take much clarity of mind and grace of hcart at the confer- ence this year to break away from the evil influence of the new rivalr- ies. It can be said with truth that the outlook is not altogether dark. Some of the elements in it are not so hopeless as may ll-Pr pear. The American policy of parity with Britain has no sinister hostility in it. Although between Japan and the United States no luve is lost and their thought of each other is much the same as in their quarrel of 1924, neither can afford to continue loading their taxpayers with heavy naval votes. Between France and Italy is a ripened understanding from which the seed of peace may come. There is not the slightest Justification for panic. Nevertheless, national pati- ence is here and there being tried and suspicions are afloat-Ex,

Addressing an audience at Lcn- don, Mr. J. S. Woodwortll, M P, leader of the Co-operativc Com- monwealth Federation, proposed as a slogan: "Vote as you pray."

He asked whether people believ- ing in intellectual honesty and sincerity can pray one way and

vote another, If Mr. Woodsworth judges by the small percentage of voters who have cast their ballots for his party in some recent elec- tions. he must have come to thc conclusion that a large number of Canada‘; citizens have forgotten how to pray.— Border Cities Star.

The first essential for a worth- while life shoud be to be ilseful. If we do things that serve a useful purpose, we don't have to worry about happiness for ourselves, at least. That takes care of itself. The distribution of happiness, and of the opportunities to be useful, is far more important than any dis- tribution of mere wealth. Richness of heart is happiness, but this can come about by no other means than by daily balancing our own pre- sonal ledger, and seeing that we think and act more in the interests of others than we do of ourselves. Peovple who keep thinking of them- selves, their troubles .their dead ambitions, their lost opportunities. and who are forever envying the success of others. and bemoaning

their own hard luck. always end their days with an unbalanced ledger.

The most acute remark in the very interesting speech cf Sir Will- mott Lewis before the Ottawa Wo- men's Canadian Club the other day was that in which he pointed out how nearly all international law concerns itself with war, or with conditions arising out of war. Yet. as Sir Willmott rvllcd. any great nation may. by manipulating its tariff. or by managing its currency. take action affecting the interests, livelihood and happiness of millions, beyond its territories. The inevi- table consequence is that commer- cial fear between nations has been added to military fear. with the ad- ded danger this brings in the way of war. What can be done about it? Well ,onc answer is the fate of the World Economic Conference. which, beginning with every hope and good-will, ended in futility. Nationalism, with what is thought to be national needs. is a des- perately tough lhlng.- Ottawa Journal.

Since thc resurrection of thc “rum row" last summer, the Administration has made deter- mined efforts to halt the inflow of smuggled liquor.

Practically everybody is inter-cam} in food these days because it la gen. fl'-~-.~'_-_\'~‘ognlzed that thc kinds and qumitlzy have much to do with health.

1405i 9f us likely eat more than we need but the idea that a "var- iety" of foods is all that is neces- sary for health is a. mistake.

For instance it has been shown that the following dict despite its variety is not satisfactory for ani- mals: cereal grains such as wheat, mm» “m. barley and rye; legumes such as peas, beans, soy beans; tub- cl-s, such as the potato; and fleshy roots such as the sweet potato, rad- ish, turnip, beet. carrot and pa“- nip. Even when lean meats such as ham, steak, and the like which some

That is because there is a lack o‘; mllltmli Drlnflipally calcium (lime) and also a lack of vitamins.

What has this to do with human beings?

Dr. E. V. McCollum, Johns Hop- kins Unlversity, says, "Wg do not attempt to say of! hand that the same kinds of diets which produce such marked physical defects m“. ins the growing period lrrlittle rats will have the same effects in child. ren. What we do is to study the in- mates of oprhanages and other in. stitutions. We observe the unsatis- factory physical condition of these Dimple and‘ discover that their diets have been obtained from the same combination of foods which would cause. defects and lack of nutri- tion in little animals. For instance, the children of a certain orphanage were fed on a soup made of meat. barley. Potatoes parrots, celery, cabbage. Peas aha beans. These children were suffering from bone defects (rickets) and were pale, with flabby muscles, poor posture, and the typical expression seen in malnour- ished children generally. A quart of milk a day was added to the diet of these children. Many of them res- ponded with rapid growth, together with a marked improvement in their 861161111 physical condition."

Thus milk is called a "protec- tive" food; also butter, cream, cheese and other dairy products. The other protective food is the green leaves-spinach, radish, tur- lllp. beet. celery. clover-and alfalfa.

Just a little of these protective foods daily will ' the “ordinary" dict.
