Showers For Pigs

Whether this little tip from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Marketing Agency. as reported by Science Service, will be practical for Island pig handlers we have no way of knowing. For what it is worth, we will pass it along.

The report says that the latest thing in pig transportation from farm to market is a sprinkling sys- tem. Tests have proved conclusively that the pig which is sprinkled periodically is a happier, more com- fortable, more co-operative and quieter pig than one that travels dry. Besides. it weighs a half pound more when it arrives at its destina- tion. That may not mean very much just for one pig; but it adds up to a tidy sum when a carload is in- volved.

The pigs are given five shower baths (no rub-downs; so no towels are required) on a day's journey. A

' 21 (no more, no less) minute shower is given before taking off; and four

i ten minute ones are administered

' on the way. In the tests, no pigs died in the conveyance that had ii sprinkling system. while in the less modern conveyances six succumbed. It has been established that 54 mil- lion worth of pigs die annually in the United States on the way to

f market. There will be none of this i e i when the shower baths become standard equipment.

. 0 yes, a sprinkler system-not an elaborate one but good enough for the most fastidious pig-can be installed for 535. It looks like a small sum for such luxury. but that is what the report says. Perhaps

3. here it would cost a bit more. On 0' the other hand. it may cost a bit ' less. But there is no doubt that our high quality Island pigs would en- joy it and appreciate it just as much as their less aristocratic American

cousins.

3. ii The fact that the Suez Canal is A ' - again open to traffic may be reas- - luring in a political sense. However, '. the uncertainties in that part of the world are still causing anxieties to those whose responsibility it is to insure an adequate supply of oil from Middle East areas. At all events. according to a report from the Organization for European Eco- nomic Co-operation, they are not discounting the possibility of further trouble. They are, therefore. going ahead with a greatly expanded tanker building program. What is more. 25 per cent of the tankers ordered since last fall's crisis will be more than 38,000 tons. too big to go through the waterway. Of these. 26 will weigh more than 50.- 000 tons and 3 more than 100,000 tons.

The O.E.E.C.. which is made up of 17 nations, had this to say in its report: "The reopening of the canal will to some extent restore the nor- mal pattern of shipping; but one of the results of the crisis will, both

dkely to be some time. -however. before it can be economically com- petitive with other forms of fuel." Incidentally, Britain is the first nation to make plans for an atomic- powered tanker.

Canada does so little shipbuild- ing nowadays that it is not even mentioned in international reports Whatever the reason for this, it is to be regretted. It constitutes a serious weakness in the nation's economic development. In time of

could constitute a very great danger.

New Polio Vaccine

For some time now scientists have been considering the feasibility of using a "live -v irus" vaccine against polio. The Salk vaccine now in general use and which has pro- duced remarkably good results is made up oi dead virus.

The new preparation has at last received the commendation of a twelve-nation group of experts at- tached to the World Health Organi- zation. These experts have urged large scale trials after having satis- fied themselves that preliminary tests "have failed to reveal any signs of illness in the persons vac- cinated or in members of their families." These preliminary tests were carried out in the United States. the Netherlands and Mexico. Other tests are now under way in South Africa. Singapore, the Soviet Union and Japan.

The main advantage of the live virus vaccine over the Salk type is that it is taken orally like any other medicine instead of being injected. Another advantage is that it is much cheaper. This may not matter very much in the Western world, but in the underdeveloped areas of Asia and Africa it would be an important consideration. It is thought that it might be even more effective than the other: but this remains to be determined. The report points out that much more research will have to be done and tests involving hun- dreds of thousands of people in many parts of the world will have to be carried out before the vaccine will be considered absolutely safe and effective. However. Dr. Albert Sabin. the chief proponent of the live - virus vaccine in th e United States, and other scientists. have so much confidence in it that they have used it on their own families with- out any ill effects.

Meanwhile, Dr. Sabin and the other experts on the committee of the W.H.O. stress that the new vac- cine must not in any way interfere with the good protection now avail- able from the Salk preparation. At present it must be regarded merely as an adjunct to the Salk vaccine, although there is some hope that eventually it may replace it. Dr. Salk himself is sharing in the re- search program.

EDITORIAL NOTES Trade Minister Churchill says he "sees no reason to feel discouraged" over Canada's wheat surplus prob- lem. This is commendable optimism, provided it is linked to an all-out campaign to find necessary markets, as no doubt it will be. I U I No doubt there are good econo- mic reaqms for terminating the ar- rangement whereby hospitals. orph- ages and other public institutions were privileged to purchase butter for 21 cents a pound less than retail prices. All the some. it's a pity the privilege has to be withdrawn. Since the plan started two years ago the institutions involved have saved more than 5.'l'.i,- million.

FOR A REAL LIFT

Bulgonin To McicAMiIicin

By W.

N. Ewer

Unlted Kingdom Information service

Mr. Bulganin has seni'anothcr

long letter to Mr. Harold Macmil- .

in. It is in the form of a reply to the British Prime Minister's re- ply to an earlier Bulgsnin letter delivered by the Soviet Ambassa- dor in April.

There are this time two specific proposals. The first appears at first sight to have some impor- tance. It is that "the European states and the U.S.A. should joini- ly bind themselves not to afford military or economic ' e to any state violating the peace of Europe. irrespective of whether they have any- obligations as an ally in the aggresor state or not."

lnifncl. however. such sn under- taking has already been given by the United States. Canada and the European members of NATO. They have all associated them- selves with the declaration of the British Americas and French Gov- erments on October 3rd. 1954, that any member of the alliance. hav- ing recourse to force in violation of the principles of the United Na- tions Charter. shall be conslde ed as "having forfeited its rights to any guarantee and any military as- sistance provided for in the North Atlantic Treaty.” if the Soviet Gov- ernment is willing to give a simi- liir undertaking with respect to the members of the Warsaw Pact. well and good. That is its own affair. So far as the United King- dom is concerned it has already, nearly four years ago. done what Mr. Bulganin now suggests. OTHER PROPOSAL

The other proposal is that there should be Anglo-Soviet conversa- tions on the subject of "cultural. scientific and technical links" be- tween t'hc two countries. But this is a matter on which London and Moscow are already in correspon- dcnce.

For the rest. the letter 1-estates at considerable length arguments on the whole range of questions which have been put forward by the Soviet Government on various

occ ” and discussed and an- swered by the Western Powers.

A long section on disarmament naturally lays great stress on the case for an immediate cessation of ' tests independently of any agreement on any other mess- ures. But it is all a repetition of the argmeunts which have been the subject of speech after speech by Mr. Zorin in the Disarmament Subcommittee. And that is equal- ly true of all the "disarmament" passages.

Mr. Bulganin. one may note. dismisses the question of German re-unification as one for settlement between the West and East Ger- man Governments. "There is, therefore. scarcely any serious need to address a series of ques- lions to each other on this theme." TRADE RELATIONS

On the question of trade rela- tions the British Government is held solely responsible for failure to develop them.

that representatives of British

direct contact with Soviet enter- prises which are interasted in their products is brusouely rejected.

A sharp polcmlcsl note runs through the whole latter. NATO is attacked as an aggressive organis- ation "which systematically oar- ries on preparation for war." it is suggested that the British Gov- ernment "does not show any in- terest In solving the problems fac- ing the Disarmament. Sub-Com- miilee.". The 3.3.0. is accused of showing "hostility to the Soviet Union." Mr. Macmillan himself is rebuked for his "negative attitude" and for failure to make proposals which "would permit us to get down to joint work." '

indeeed. the whole tone is. to my mind. notably sharper and less friendly than that of the April letter. which leaves me even more puuled as to llic purpose of the operation.
