A Memorable Occasnon It has been a matter of great satisfaction that the plans for the magnificent Fathers of Confedera- tion Memorial Building have gone forward so smoothly and so ex~ peditiously. This was indicated a few days ago in the announcement by Dr. Frank )laclx'innon. president of the Foundation, that the $5,099,- 994 contract had been awarded to Pigott Construction Ltd. of Toronto and Montreal, which has built a number of large buildings through- out Canada, including the new Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal. It was also announced that after the sod-turning ceremony on the site of the memorial this afternoon. construction will get under way. Today’s ceremony will be quite In important occasion in itself, with Premier Stanfield of Nova Scotia turning the sod and Premier Lesage of Quebec delivering an ad- dress in which he is expected to give a new interpretation of the Confederation theme, and which is being awaited with widespread in- terest. The Federal Government will be represented, fittineg, by Hon. J. Angus Machean, our Island rep- resentative in the Cabinet; and there will be many other distin- I guished visitors present, including top officials of the Foundation and Hon. Henry Irwin, Acting Premier of New Brunswick.
It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the significance of the Memor- ial Building and of the role it will play as a national shrine, embodying the spirit of Confederation as con- ceived here a century ago by the founding fathers of this Dominion We in Prince Edward Island are of Course well aware of this significance, and of our own re- sponsibilities as custodians. What is heart-warming is the tremendous enthusiasm with which our sister provinces have embarked with us upon this unique project, and the generosity displayed by individuals as well as governments and various organizations across Canada in con- tributing to its erection.
Let us hope that it will serve, not only as a memorial to our Con- federation Fathers, but as a unify- ing influence in the Canada of to- day and tomorrow, and as an in- spiration to further progress as a. nation, one and indivisible. We are united by bonds stronger than all the issues that tend to divide us; but we must bring sympathy and understanding of each other's prob- lems to bear in lessening these dif— forences, if our national shrine is to fulfill its lofty purpose.
We believe this to be the pre- dominant thought in the minds of Ill the distinguished guests who will b. with us today. We welcome them all u fellow Canadians, and rejoice In the happy occasion that has brought them to our shores.

a somewhat lonely figure In the no- tion’s capital. In his lifetime he has done much for Canada, and he still has much to offer. His experi- ence in Parliament and in politics spans nearly 30 years. His know- ledge of the socialist movement in Canada and the birth and develop- ment of the (TOP party, which he led for so many years, is unsurpass- ed.
In its comment the Free Press, which has never taken kindly to socialist policies. pays tribute to
Mr. \‘oldwell’s urbanity. wit and charm, and joins with his many friends and admirers across the
Country and beyond in greeting him warmly his emergence from temporary retlrement. We salute him on this occasion in the same spirit, and congratulate Carleton ['niversity on its initiative in ob- taining his valued services.
De Gaulle AncI Monnet
Life is full of ironies. One that will rate a footnote in history is the fact that just as President de Gaulle was swinging Europe away from an Atlantic alliance and keep- ing Britain out. of the Common Market. another great Frenchman, Jean Monnet—creator of the plan for a united Europe as a strong partner of North America—was be- ing honored in New York. He receiv- ed there the 19b2 Freedom award from the trustees of Freedom House for his Contribution to “free world strength."
It was Monnet who, directly after World War 11, created the system which made it possible for France to operate under the Mar- shall plan. He was the architect of France's eConomic miracle and then the architect of a new dream of Europe. The dream quickly took on flesh and bones. It started with the 1951 Treaty of Paris which created the European Coal and Steel Com- munity. Then, th rough the 1957 Treaty of Rome, came the European Economic Community (the Common Market) and the European Com- munity of Atomic Energy (Eura- tom). These, ton, were his ideas.
“It must be realized that to ar- rive at world peace it is imperative that England should unite with the community, and that a relationship of equal partners should be estab- lished between a united Europe . . . and the United States of America,” Monnet said two days after de
(Ill
'Gaulle tried to scuttle both ideas.
The dream of Monnet and his fol- lowers throughout Europe has been destroyed for the present: but they look to the future. They will reshape it again, in the fullness of time.
Big Problem Everywhere
We were under the impression that the doctor shortage in Canada was due largely to the more glamor- ous opportunities for medical and dental practitioners in the United States, but it seems that they have the same problem to cope with. This was touched on by President Ken- nedy recently in a speech in which he warned that “all our miracles of medical research will count for little if we cannot reverse the grow- ing shortage of doctors and den- tists from declining any further."
It will be necessary, over the next 10 years, to increase the capac- ity of US. medical schools by 50 per cent, and dental sch00]s by 100 per cent. While our American neighbors have the highest ratio of doctors to population, next to Is- rael, only about 40 per cent are in general practice and that percent- age is dropping. More doctors are going into the specialties, research and teaching, or are becoming med- ical advisers to business and gov- ernment.
To train the 11,000 new doctors a year required by 1975, it is estim- ated that 20 to 24 new medical schools, or the equivalent in ex- pansion of present schools, will be required. And medical sch00]s, even for the wealthiest nation on earth, are tremendously expensive and hard to staff.

Winter Clothes Revolution Said
Now Underway
By Dr. Theodore R. Van Delleu
DRESSING for winter sports is undergoing revolution- ary changes. The amount of clothing is judged by the type of activity rather than the out
outfits need not be cumbersomo
and heavy; the newer light- weight materials afford warmth and allow more freedom of movement.
Skiers continue to set the style. Out of date are the old hiking duds with high leather boots that bound the leg mus- cles and sopped up w ter. Or- dinary gloves and heavy leather jackets are Inadequate. Sweat- ers are on the way back but they tend to collect snow and get wet. They are of maximum value when worn under a light- weight, water resistant wind- breaker.
Most youngsters are over- dressed when they go out to skate or indulge in other toms of winter recreation. They per- spire excessively when 0 v e :- heated. whlch leads to chilling and loss' of energy. Further- more, bulky clothing hinders movement and increases the work load.
Remove the outer garments when coming indoors, particu- larly If you hover over a stove or stand near a fire or radiator. In this way, overheating IS avoided and the body is better prepared to withstand the cold on returning to the out of dcrws.
Underclothing is most effi- cient when It surrounds the skin with warm air, absorbs mois- ture, and reduces the degree of heat loss. One of the latest ty- pes of underwear consists of net- ting. The theory. is that the air remains in the wt e meshes. where it acts as perfect insula- tios. Undergarments are important because they slow down radia- tion and conduct moisture away from the body. The next layer Is for insulation and comprlses the usual shirt, jacket. sweater. . and trousers: the amount vary- ; ing with the sport and the tem- perature. The outer layer is for - resistance to wind and wetness.

SMOKING AND CHOLESTEROL , A. W. writes: Why do ciga- rets harm a person with too much fat In the blood?
REPLY
This Is not necessarily true, assuming you mean the effect of smoking on a person with .too much cholesterol in the Iblood. Victims of heart attacks often have a high blood choles- l terol reading. Smoking may ag- gravetc the cardiac condltion and therein lies the true signifi- cance of your question.

S-mc individuals with this see their physician every six months. to remove
the accumulation of excess wax. I assume you are not referring to obstruction of the eustachlan or of spe-
Iubes as a result of colds throat infections. This type blockage requires more clalized care.

Reaching PeOpIe has to Come First
In quite a few senses. my tall was between in lo a I when I left Jamalca about 20 years ago after dlrectlng a small daily there for I brief
Itlnt.
Oh. I brought away some pleasant memories too. A few causes I served seemed to work out to Jamaica‘s advan- tage and I lost nothing through the adventure. But most of the things I attempted to do for the paper proved unavalllng and It expired I few years later.
y now the reasons I saw then for the sickness and sub‘ sequent death of that paper are rushing back to mind to explain the enthusiasm I feel —lt might almost be describ- ed as passionate — for the pro- gram that Is being launched by the newly-created Thom- Ion Foundation.
crhups I have a little spe- cial Interest In the plan, and an Impulse to prlde. because It Is the c r e I tlon of Roy Thomson who Is. In an Indir- ect way. mv “ p ". But my enthusiasm for the Idea behind It Is entirely beyond any personal conslderatlons.
NOT WORTH A HOOT
The surest thing I learned In
Jamaica Is that you can‘t do
r people—not a single worthwhile thing—when you are unable to communi- cate with them.
Worthy intentions w o n’t help you worth a hoot. nor will high determination. so long as you can't communi- cafe with them.
The last article I wrote In Jamaica. which was publish- ed In February 1943 without adding a particle to my a- most invisible popularity. was I cry for the creatlon of "a people's paper" - one Whlch would really reach the people "in a form they would be able to accept." and would contri- bute to I great program 0 f education.
At that flme Jamaica's pa- pers reached less than three per cent of the population. They were read almost ex- clusively by so-called “lead- ers”, whether in government. commerce. or labor or palm- cal organization. They scarcely reached the awareness, much less dented the consciousness. of those who were governed.
LACK OF UNDERSTANDING So I left Jamaica because. with more than 70 per cent of the population illiterate. I could see no way of llckl n g this problem: How can you do anything for or with people (much less sell papers them) when you are unable to communicate with “mm? Of course many situations have Improved wonderfully in Jamaica since then but that question continues to be a part of virtually every problem that ever arlses involving a newly-freed. emerging :- backward land. It is broadly true to any that there has been not only failure to an- swer it, but even to show un- derstandlng in tackling if.
It also remains true th at everything else that may be done for an emerging nation —bolstering Its economy. cut- tlng down the toll of disease and famine, helping build its civil service, assuring lta de- defence— all s u c h steps will end up Is disappointlng stop- gaps unless they are accom- anled by an effective means of reaching the people: com- municating with them.
SPEEDING THE ANSWER The point Is missed when It Is Irgued that there already Is widespread agreement on the ahape of the ultimate an-
swer to I h l I problem. Of course there Is. But that In-
swer doesn't help much for as long as it remains so general- lzed that it is Incapable of be. lng applied broadly enough, or quickly enough, to bring the sort of results required without delay.
The perfect statement of that answer and its limitation was provided more. the n a dozen years ago by R o b e rt Hutchins. while head of th 9 University of Chicago, In these words: “Yes. e u c a t1 0 n is slow. but what Is faster?"
The first improvement I have ever seen on that ap. proach is the one taken by the o m a o 11 Foundation, which has a program for add- Ing speed to that educational process.
In brief, it is a program to assure and hasten the devel- opment of sound. responsible and practical media of mass communications In t lands whose peoples are now breaking out into the larger world society— to put c o m- munications into forms which wlll be able to reach th 0 s 9 people and which they will be able to comprehend.
RICH IN EXPERIENCE
One of many parts of t h e program will be to glve prom- Islng persons from those lands tralnlng In not only the tech- niques and mechanics of newspaper, television I nd radio operation. but also in the sense of responsibility, the service to truth. thoI should be carried to such activities.
Behind all thls there will be not only the fund of some $15 million being provided by Mr. Thomson. but other rich re- sources which are just as significant — the tremendous range of experience in news- paper, televlslon. radio and book publishing fields made available by the Thomson 0:- ganization Ltd., and the splendid qualities of heart and mind token to the foundation by members of its board of trustees.
The method chosen by the foundation, as Mr. Thomson has said. could crowd Into decades many of the educa- ticnal advances —— the estab- lishment of the foundations of basic knowledge — that could take centuries to achieve by any other method.
EMPATHY IS NEED
ind you. I'm not. suggest- tng that any "Instant miracles" should be expected to follow. The problem being tackled is not only ancient but un- speakany tough. But the plan is both the wisest and most promising approach I've ever seen to that p lam —. the healthiest blending of down-to-earth realism with In- spiring idealism. This plan differs In one big particula" from anythlng I've ever heard of before. It goes
a long distance beyond just showing sympathy for th 0 emerging lands. That’s al-
ways been common enough. But the need isn't for sym- pathy, but for empathy—the a b i l I t y to get within and share and understand the feelings and motlves of those who are breaking away from their primitive past: and the ability to speak with th e m (not just to them) In those erms. That‘s what I see In th Thomson Foundation program —a great adventure growing out of empathy. I think It will work. It Is a delight to feel some link, no ma er how minor and dlstant, with such an idea.
