Federal Byeiections

Yesterdays federal byelections ran their expected course in three Quebec constituencies. returning the Liberal camlidatcs as had been thc rule for many years. In the New Brunswick riding of Restigouclie Madawaska. however. the Conscr-

vative standard bearcr, Mr. J. C Van Horne, won out over his Lib- eral opponent with a substantial

lead. As the riding had been Liberal for the past twenty-two y'ears, this was quite a govcrnincnt upset. As noted by the Llanzulian Press, siucc i933 there have been eleven federal byclections, with only one Liberal defeat heretofore, whcn the Maui- tnlm rirlin: of Sclkirk rcturncri :1 CUP canrlirlate by a substantial margin last November.

With electioncering c o n fi n e d mainly to local issues and candi- datcs' pcrsouzililics in y'cstcrday's contest, intercst was expected to centre on Tcmiscouata. where the Prime Minister's son, Mr. Jean-Paul St. Laurcnt. successfully contested the riding against Mr. Berube, (Ton- servative. Tcmiscouata has elected Liberals for fifty-nine years. and was held for many years by the re-

doutablc Mr. Pouliot, now in thc Senate.

Yesterday's voting. of t'oLlrsr. can liave little effect on party

strength in the Commons. which now stands at 189 Liberals. 32 Pro- gressive Conservatives. 23 C(.'.F members, 15 Social .Credit. 4 Indep- endent and two vacant seats. The remaining vacancies are for Toron- to-Sparliua, where .Vlr. David (Troll was recently named to the Senate. and St. Jobus-Iberville-Napiervillc. w h o s e representative, Postmaster General Cote. died on August 7. A hyeiect ion in the Toronto riding has been called for Oct. 24.

The Emperor's Offer

Evangelist Billy Graham, who is now conducting a preaching mission in Toronto--to large and enthus- iastic crowds, it. is reported--is a man whose views are entitled to re- spect. He has travelled widely, and his sincerity in matters of religion and morals is above question. How- ever, 1 statement. that he is report- ed to have made in Toronto will cause a good deal of amazement even among his more ardent admir- cu. According to Dr. Graham. thr Emperor of Japan ”offered to ordcr his people to become (7hristians" a low months after the Japanese sur- render in i943; and General Mac- Arthur refused the, offer. This means. in the evangelist's opinion, day of opportunity has

gone; we've missed the boat." It is well known that, once they realized they had bccn defeated. the .lap:incse were willirlil i” 20 i0 unpxpcctcrl and unnecessary ex- i1'en1Ps' in order to show the com- Dletencss of their unconditional sur- render; this. evidently is a special trait of the (tricntal cliarnctcr--ill war. unrolcnting: in defeat. abject.

But, the fact that. General MacArthur would have nothing to do with it, far from indicating a lack of wisdom, as Dr. Graham seems to imply, is surely one morr evidence of his good svneralshin and statesmanship. it is reasonahlc to assume that.

The Cardboard Curtain

Hy Patrick

()'l"l'.-KWA - The bacon-buying public is being grossly deceived, Davie Fulton told Parliament ear- licr this year. Cellophane wrapping paper used by the bacon-packers is printed red so that the misled Imus:-wife can be kidded into pay- ing the high price of lean bacon for less valuable lard. sliggested the young Conservative M.P. for Kalnloops.

The Government Fulton's sensible proposal. It would

acepted Mr- .

not accept his Bill to outlaw this '

abuse. but it achieved the same result by using the regulatory pow- ers granted by the Food and Drugs Act.

This regulation reads: "T h e Governor in Council may make re- gulations respecting the packaging: and labelling of any article of food and the design of any such packngc

: or label with a View to preventing

the public or the purchaser being deceived or misled as to the char- acter, strength, quantity or quality of the article." -

The Governor in Council in this case was not sufficiently alert to the interests of the public to initi- ate action. A prod from Davie Fulton was necessary. The red cellophane wrapping was outlawed.

It was I gentle ouilawry though. The bacon-packers who had deceiv- ed the public were not compelled to throw away unused red cello- phane. They were permitted to continue the outlawed deception until the end of June. byiwhich time, they said. they would have used up their supplies of this any deceiver.

Their deception may have cost the public some money? but it was not to be allowed to cost them any money through waste of existing stocks of the wrapper.

THE NEW LOOK

The clcar cellnplumc wrapper rc- appcarcd; tributc was paid to that old saying about honesty being the bcsl policy. and Davie Fulton”; crusade was forgotten.

Now however a new form of de- ception has taken the place of the red cellophane wrapper. The pig is once more being sold in a poke. in place nf the red cellophane, which made fat bacon appear in I); lean. the merchants are now using cardboard. which makes fat bacon invisible to the purchaser.

No doubt Davie Fulton is his?

l!.C.'l1ome at Kamloops is already preparing I renewal of his crusade. to be launched when Parliament. meets again. Mr. Paul Martin. who as Minister of Health is responsible for the administration of the Food and Drugs Act. will no doubt make another regulation to "prevent the public or the purchaser being de- ceived ar misled".

Meanwhile with but modest fan- fare another Cabinet Minister. Hon. Jack Pickersgill, Minister of immi- gration. has reportedly awarded a prize for the design of a similar cardboard curtain wrapper submit- ted by a well-known American automobile designer. While decep- tion is being outlawed by one Cabi- net Minister, it is being rewarded by another.

The Shock Al Washington

By Dun Wliillu-.ail Associated Press

A man's neart beat siutters mo- mentarily and a whole political world is shaken to its foundations.

That is what happened when President. Eisenhower suffered a heart attack in the early morning hours Saturday at Denver.

First there was the shock of the news hitting the capital. with all its implications. But even in the 0UiD0lH'iI1l.z of sympathy and pray- ers for the president's recovery, there was the realization that nntli- ing in politics was the same as it had been before those fateful hours between midnight and dawn two days ago.

There was the rcluclunl accept- and by Republicans of the prob- ability most of them had refused to admit before-that Eisenhower will not be the Republican presi- dential candidate ncxt year. BREAK FOR DEMOCRATS

And there was the recognition by the Democrats that late, even in an unwelcome manner. had placed them suddenly in it far stronger position to challenge the Rcpublicans for control of the Whlie House in the 1956 general election.

Politics being what they are. both sides must now look at the comlng campaign from radically altered points of view. Ami this much at least in apparent:

The Republic no longer can count on Eisenhower as n can- didate. Neither are they in a pos- ition to urge him to run again even If the president should re- cover CDHIPICLCIJ from this attack. To do so would put the Republican chiefs In the awkward position of asking Eisenhower to undertake a strenuous campaign which con- ceivably might place more strain on his heart than it could stand.

Up to this point, the Republican chiefs have made all their cam-

hower without upposition will be s batllcgrounrl.

At tlic lnouu-ul. iicr-prcsidclll liirlmrtl M Nixon upm-,ars to he in the strongest position to bid for the nu m ina tinn if Eisenhower dncsn'l rim. Nixnn is rcp(u'tcd by Republican leaders to be highly popular with party orl.:ani1.atinn men tlirouuliout the country. But no one claims Nixon can come clnsr to matching Fliseuhowci-'5 trcinmdnus popularity and vote- lzctting appeal. or that he might be nnminalcd without a challenge.

As for the Democrats. the things they have feared most about the 1956 campaign have been Eisen- hnwcrls pnpularity and the thought he would run again. Suddenly tlicre is the strong cha'ncc that these great Republican assets can- not hc used against them.

l iiriedically I Speaking

INFECTIONS ARE RISKY

An infection in a diabetic is dangerous.

No matter how minor it may seem. it should be treated as In emergency since an infection tends to create 1 dangerous cycle. High blood sugar favors infection and infection reduces the effec- tiveness of insulin.

DIET ll IMPORTANT

It's extremely important that you diabetics maintain 3006 per- sonal hygiene and proper diets. Lack of cleanliness and the add- in: of too much weight as the result of poor diet control often leads to infections and disaster.

Infections probably are most up! to begin in the respiratory and digestive tracts and on the skin. especially around the toes. The latter sometimes lead to amputat- ion of I leg.

Every diabetic should learn to guard against infection and im- paired circulation. .

Poor circulation causes damage to the tissues. Excess sugar in the blood gives bacteria an excellent chance to grow in the blood. or- gans snd subcutaneous tissues.

Therefore, diabetics must abide by the following rules:

Don't walk around in your bare feet.

Don't wear circular garters.

Don't use hot water bottles on your feet.

Don't pick. cut or use sharp in- struments an corns.

Don't use ommercial corn re- medles.

Don't use strong tions or by-products.

Don't bathe in very hot water.

Don't wear poorly fitted shoes or arch supports. '

Don't use tight bandages.

Don't use adhesive tape or band- ages on your skin.

Don't sit with your legs crossed over your knees.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

Mrs. T. R.: What are the symp- toms of fungus of the tongue and is there a cure for it? -

Answer: Various types of fungi may affect the tongue. The symp- toms would depend upon the sever- ity of the infection and the type.

There may be some burning of the tongue as well as some pain. in most instances. these infec- tions can be cleared up by the use of antiseptic preparations.

A physician should be consulted concerning the condition.

at the Geneva atoms-for-peace con- ference, Sir John Cockcroft, ment- ioned onc possible celime use for atomic radiation that may mean death to the death-watch beetle. '

This is the insect that threatens so many of Britain's ancient bulld- ings and relics. Nelson's flagship. the Victory, is perhaps one of the best-knoilvn Britlslrhistoric treas- ures that is menccd by the pest.

Sir John Cockcroft suggested that atomic radiation may be used to protect the timbers in the Victory as well as the aged timbers in such structures as Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's and other historic build- ings. Laboratory tests have shown that low doseages of atomic radia- tion make doathwatcli beetle eggs infertile. This is true also of the eggs of other insects that bore into old timbers.

It would be rather strange. but gratifying. if radiation. the deadly fruit of the atomic age. were to save the Victory and other mon- umcnts from the past from des- truction.
