Recalling The Prologue

“What’s past is prologue,” as Shakespeare reminds us. A stimu— lating thought, and very appropriate to the mood in which we should prepare ourselves for the big cen- tennial events of this week in our Cradle of Confederation. now graced with a magnificient shrine in rec- ognition of its unique status.

Participating with us in this memorable anniversary of the first meeting of the Founding Fathers will be the Prime Minister of Can- ngla, the Premiers of all the ten Provinces, and other distinguished guests, not to speak of the actors in black top hats and flowing beards Who have sailed from Quebec and will drop anchor in Charlottetown harbor tomorrow, re-enacting, in up literal a manner as possible, the arrival of the representatives of the t en Province of Canada to solicit the support of the Maritimes for the larger union which was lilti- mately achieved.

_ The pageantry. speechmaking and social amenities will help to make the past come to life this week. It is hoped, too. that the his- torical souvenir edition which we are privileged to present at this time will give added significance the occasion. It. has been the labor of many hands and many minds, and represents the oo-opera- tive effort of many sections of our Ishnd community. It should, in its way, be something of an historic memento, worth preserving for the picture it gives of our pre-Confed- oration period as well as of the changes that have taken place in the intervening century.

To Prime Minister Pearson and the provincial government leaders who are honoring us with their presence on this occasion we tender a. most Cordial welcome. It is the hope of all our citizens that their deliberations at the conference they will hold here, where Confederation was conceived, will constitute a new landmark in federal-provincial relations, bringing us closer to- gether as Canadians and proving, indeed, that our achievements of the past were but a prologue to the brighter promise which the future holds in store.

. Both Coasts Affected

Now it’s Canada’s oyster fish- ermen who are worried by the threat of water pollution from in- dustrial and domestic waste. An article on this subject appears in the current isaue of The Financial Pout, which emphasizes that it’s not the people eating the oysters that the polution is hurting, but the in- dhatl'y itself.

tty count. Many EC. oyster fish'- armen are maving to the Gulf is- .Ianda where the sewage is no threat.

In P.E.I. it is domestic sewage that threatens the oyster beds, ac- cording to Roy Drinnan, oyster re- search biologist at the federal blo- Iogical station at Ellerslie. For ex- ample, Summerside harbor, one of the most suitabe oyster bed areas, is completely polluted and oysters must be taken from this area, re- planted in clean water and then harvested. Charlottetown harbor is another area where pollution is serious.

In Nova Scotia, introduction last year of the Water Authority Act is already helping to check pollution in inland and costal waters. The oyster harvest is bound to benefit from the stringent measures adopt- ed under the act. But they cannot overcome the consequences of years of uncontrolled disposal. Some oyster beds have been closed in recent years because of pollution danger.

Mr. Drinnan is quoted as saying that oyster beds in the Maritimes are policed very thoroughly and that constant testing goes on. But it will evidently be a costly job to clean them up.

Mr. Lalham's Visu

Our thanks to Mr. G. Ronald Latham, British Trade Commission- er in the Atlantic Provinces, for the optimistic message he has brought to us about our economic future. He sees big possibilities here for increased trade with the United Kingdom, for the establishment of new industry and growth of pop- ulation. His words, as reported in an interview in Saturday’s Guard- ian, are truly a tonic to the spirit.

Mr. Latham’s statement comes at a time when new efforts are being made towards industrial develop- ment in this province as well as in other parts of the Atlantic area. It has been indicated that new legis- lation in this connection. similar to that in effect in Nova Scotia, will be presented at the next session of the provincial Legislature.

Other plans include the draft- ing of an extensive list of products which could be manufactured here, the publication of data on the prov- ince’s industrial development poten- tial which has been gathered over the. past year by consulting firms, and a closer study of the potential for food and ,fish processing, glass manufacturing, Irish moss proces- sing and other special activities.

Closer trade relations with the Old Country would be of tremend- ous value in furthering the success of these projects. We gather from Mr. Latham’s comments that this is also what the British people de- sire, and it is indeed a consumation to be wished. We trust that he will have the fullest cooperation locally in his fact-finding tour and in the subsequent visits he plans to make to this province.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The hurling of a “blood bomb” onto the floor of the House of Com- mons last week has resulted in an immediate tightening of security. With or without passes, visitors to the galleries of the Commons will be closier scrutinized, and neiver again will a spectator be allowed to enter unchallenged, carrying a brief case or any other bulky object.

The London Sunday Times re- ports this exchange between Mr. Khrushchev and his recent visitor, Lord Thomson, the Canadian-born press baron: Khrushchev: “I have no capital and never will have. As Chairman of the Council of Min- isters I have a house, a car, and other amenities, but they are part of my job. When I will leave this job, I will no longer have them. What good is your money? You can’t take it with you i" Thomson: “Then I won’t go.”

About 850 years ago, Galileo dropped weights of wood and lead from a tower in Pisa to show that objects of different materials fall at exactly the same rate. Galileo's experiment has been repeated, this time at Princeton University. The Princeton group confirmed Galileo's results, to no one’s surprise, but they did it with great precision, to an accuracy of three parts in 100 billion. The Galileo experiment was . waited in a sophisticated form because its conclusion is an aa- nunption basic to Einstein’s general m d relativity.

A DUBIOUS PLAN

STEPPING STONE

Could Move World Closer To War

The American Security coun- cil, a privately financed organ- ization concerned with military and foreign policy, has come up with _a program for cold war victory that could easily move the world closer to hot water.

Its proposal for an independ- ent nuclear deterrent for the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion, separate from American nuclear power, would reverse this country‘s policy against any proliferation of nuclear wean- ons.

DEPLORABLE DECISION

Sir, — The unfortunate decl- slon of Eastern Provincial Air- ways to replace the Dart Herald on its routes through Prince Ed- ward Island with the old DC-S‘s is indeed a surprise.

In fact, it is difficult to sea how there has been a traffic de- crease aufflcient to warrant such a move, especially to and and from the Magdalen Islands, where the Company has virtual- ly in captive clientele.

Two of these Dart Heralds were purchased by Maritime Central Airways especially for the growing local traffic, and now they are being taken away from us, despite more promis- lng assurances given us by the Newfoundland company a year

ago.

Thus, at the whim of a of strangers in distant Gander, we are to thrust backwards out of the jet age nd mu travel like second-class citizens in planes put; into eervica years ago.

This is a classic example how promises of expansion made atthe time of a corporate over are followed by retrench- ment instead. Can if something or do we just have to take it?

NATO would. among 0th e r things. put a German “finger on the trigger" — a situation which nations allied in World War 11 against Hitler's Germany have long promised to prevent. West. Germany is now pledged not to develop nuclear weapons.

One standard item in this country that is completely and. exactly bilingual, is the dollar bill. Any reader who is fortun- ate enough to have at least one of i in his possession can easily verify, by reaching in his pocket, that for every "One" on the design there is an “Uh”; for every "Banque" In the dol- lar's printed message there is a "Bank," and the promise in Demand" is exactly balanced bythe promise to “Palate Au Porteur Sur Demande."

It is a good point to keep in mind, any time the emotional noises about Quebec separatism seem to be getting rather loud.

A Canadian dollar is a Cana- dian dollar, in either lanzuage. There is a strong underlying respect for the value of a dol- lar, among Canadians of either language. Most of the vocal English - speaking Canadla us who say they would llke to get rid of Quebec would hush suddenly it they noticed that ma- king Canada smaller would hurt the supply of spendabla dollars. So would in c at of the noisy French - speaking Canadians who talk about secession, an taking Quebec out ed oration.

Asra. TRADE EMBARGO .

The council would put a limit- ed trade embargo against all Communist countries and ban foreign aid to countries which aid Communist expansion.

The United States now carries on imited trade with some Communist countries and aids in few in an effort to make th e in less dependent upon the Soviet Union.

These policies, at a time when Oonununity unity ls weakening and hitherto closed countries are increasingly opening up to the west, make sense in any pro- gram seeking to lessen the risk of war and the grip of the So- viet Union on its satellites.

Correcting ' Constipation by Dr. More n. V's Dalbe

Chronic constipati wally is a bad habit and many vl of this condi

flan never have

ass a five or cleaned out with an an- ema.

:But faulty habits are onlyona c u Ian and rectum be- come sluggish when the diet contains a preponderance of soft starchy foods. Bulk is needed to ancoin'ege evacuation. -

Dehydration from insufficient liquids or profound ewes re- sults in hardening of the stools,

- and

on spec to impaction in oldaters. Emo- tional factors also enter the pic- ture by producing spasms of the intestine and the outer valve of

the rectum.

Constipation can be corrected, provided the individual ls will- ing to make the effort. Eating when the stomach is empty creates a powerful stimulus so that the most favorable period to establish the reflex ls right. after breakfast. For some, this means arising earlier to avoid hurry and tenseness. A small enema of tap water or olive oil, repeated daily at exactly the same hour. may be helpful un- til normal function is restored.

Meanwhile, add bulk by eat- ing more vegetables and fresh and dried fruits. Drink six to eight glasses of fluid daily. Ex- ercise to improve the strength of the abdominal muscles. But, above all, respond promptly to the urge to defecate.

Examination is suggested when a person who always has been regular develops consti- pation. Causes for this change in bowel habits include nerve lesions or a disorder - e1. including tumors. polyps, infections, strictures, and hem-

oids.

SWEAT TEST .

.G K. writes: Is it true that the sweat test has nothing to do with perspiration but was nam- ed for a Dr. Sweat? .

REPL

No. My library contains a fair number of books on medical history but none mentions a Dr. Sweat. A 16th century physician developed a sweat test to meas- ure insensible perspiration. To- day the sweat test is used In diagnosing cystic fibrosis. Vic- tims of this disorder inherit an abnormality of the secreting structures, including the sweat glands. An enormous amount of perspiration is excreted and a high concentration of sodium chloride Is lost in this way.

I don’t know because "bad kidneys” are not mentioned in medical textbooks or taught in medical schools. Some people with normal kidneys use the term when they urinate too of- ten; others have extensive renal disease leading to uremia 'nd

No. But carbonated beverages may distend the stomach and encourage burplng.
