Sweetness and Light

What's coming over everybody. anyway? Premier Bulganin says ho knew all the time that President Eisenhower was a man peace and that the Americans are really good people at heart. President Eisen- hower says he is sure that the Rus- sian people and their leaders are anxious to live on good terms with the rest of the world; the cold war VIII the result of I little misunder- standing which has been just about clcared up. Morcovcr. when thc new man-madc moons are ready fol. service, the Russians can just help themselves to any information the) may provide about outer space. Premier (lhou En-lai says that Chiang Kai Shck is not such a bad fellow after,all. Perhaps. he adds. they have both been I little hasty in their judgments. As for the Amer- icans imprisoned in Red China, they can go home almost any daygnow. Mr. Nehru says that India has no fault to find with any nation and there is no reason in the world why there should be any more illfeeling between East and West. Let by- gones be bygones. Pakistan, once a menace, is now I good neighbour. Juan Peron says that from now on no one in Argentina will be persecut- ed for his political views. There is to be peace for evei-more.

Here at home, Mr. It. Laurent says that the new Senators are free in criticize him and the members oi hll cabinet at their heart's content. if that is what they want to do. The faot that they have received political preferment does not mean that they oweuanything to the Government. Dr. Mccann says that his depart- ment's use of I tax-payer's income tax return in arguing a case before the income tax appeal board was a big mistake; it will never, never happen again.

Yes. there seems to be an aura oi sweetness and light almost every- where. True. the swords have not yet been actually beaten into pruning books; but. judging from statements from here. there, and everywhere, it is just a matter of getting the fac- tories converted from war production to implement making. The leopards are still I little hesitant about lying down with the kids, or vice versa. but things are working up to that, and any day now I bright new world will emerge from the darkness that has been all around. So. at least, we are: bcing it-(l to expect.

The cynic, of course, will say it is all just I midsummer night's dream. and that. come autumn. the mirage created by fancy will have disappcarcd. Fiut the cynics. be it rcmemhcred, are wrong as often as

they are right. which is another- way of saying that there is at least I 50-5() chance that rcnson and char- ity have rcplaccd prejudice and ill- will in the mnnagcmcnt of intcrna tional affairs as well as in thc normal routine of individual nations. Count- less millions arc hoping mg: mg is, jed. the coming vogue.

; Scoring Anonymously In his review of the hog market, contained in his company's annual rdport, Mr. W. F. McLean, president at. Canada Packers Limited, notes

c rtfiht during the past few years there l been I serious decline in the l, qisdflty of hogs being produced in

Cdnlds. This decline has occurred on in the country except in

solo to sell pork. but that price will be determined to I large extent by the acceptance of Canadian pork products by consumers, both at home and in export markets. Besides the domestic market, where the house- wife is discerning and rigid in her standard for lean pork, Canada has two principal outlets - Britain and the United States. Although we are not presently shipping to Britain, Canadian bacon has I first class reputation there. It might easily happen that the United Kingdom could again become an important outlet for the Canadian producer.

"It would be I tragedy for the Canadian hog producer if we were not ready to take advantage of that fine reputation because the quality of our hogs had deteriorated," Mr. ML-Lean warns. Canada's other out- let, the United States, is a premium market for lean pork. Second and third class hogs will not produce I product that. will command sufficient premium to cover duty and freight, and still leave producers a satisfac- tory return.

Despite the achievement of our Island producers, Mr. McLean says that ”thc quality of hogs being pro- duced in Canada today is certainly not good enough to permit substan- tial shipments of I quality that would compete with the Danish pro- duct." In other words, we in this Province are being penalized by rea- son of the poor production records in other parts of the country. There should be some means of differenti- ating the Island product, so that it could be publicized on its own merits. At least we should be mentioned specifically, and not lumped in with the rest of Canada or even with the other Maritime Provinces, in reports on the industry. If packing com-

panies really want to see the Island's ,

fine example followed, they should take every opportunity of giving credit where due. and naming us in their reports as the banner Province. with I record so far ahead of tho

no comparison.

Like many traditional British In- stitutions, the public schools fulfil I role different from that sug- gested by their name. Although many were endowed centuries ago by rich merchants and landown- ers to help the scholarly sons of poor families. their pupils have for long past been drawn from the rInks of the wealthiest in the land. because only they can afford the high fees.

Wealth alone does not automati- cIlly secure I place at schools such as Eton, Harrow. Winchester

ndidales must be able to satisfy v e school Iuthorities that they pos- :I an impeccable social back-

And once I family has secured entry of a son to such a school. the tradition is handed down for generations.

Today, I public school education, even if unmarked by signs of bril- liance, is still an open sesame to many fields in later life. it makes , the wearer of the old school lie I i member of I brotherhood which i can be of inestimable help in his

career and which will often hold

Laughton On Reading

Parents and educators firmly agree on the need for literary ap- preciation. but how is it to be achicvcd? First. there should he an atmosphere of reading in the home; good books should be avail- able. But they should not be al- lowed to sit on shelves wailinif for appreciation. One of the best meth- ods of promoting appreciation is reading aloud.

Charles Laughton. whose stage readings have been so successful in the last few years. offers thesi- rewards: family reading is granf fun: it is I shared experience that draws families and friends closer together; it puts your child in I I reading atmosphere and encour- ages him to learn to read and to love books. , I

In an article in This We-ck maga- zine, he offers these suggestions; take turns reading and don't ran! for more than an hour: if you get tired, stop: if a story is dull, drop it and try something else; use I your natural voice: read only works you like. not ones you think you ought to like; don't demand absolute attention, let people sew or whittle while they listen.

When you stop rcntllug, says Laughton, start talking. start dil- cussing the ideas the reading has suggested.

The test of good writing is how it sounds when read aloud. The great books read well. The best modern writing reads wcll. John Hersey says. "if school is where learning to read belongs. home is where h ppincss in reading be

Family reading is sharing and spreading that happincss.

L to compress both the Ir- teries and the veins.

Don't release the tourniquet; let I physician do that. This is I

' departure from preflously issued

instructions, but the Committee on Surgery of the National Research Council now says this advice is the best.

Once the tourniquet is applied, don't try to warm the limb by covering it. with extra clothing or a blanket. A body part deprived of its blood supply will survive better at lower than normal tem- perature. You shuuld. however, elevate the injured limb so that it is slightly higher than the trunk of the body.
