The Junior Red Cross

This is Junior Red Cross Week in Canada, and it is worth recalling. briefly, what this wonderful organ- ization stands for. Its three l>l'i"Ci* p1es——good health. service to others and the furtherance of international friendship and I2.»/.ler.stat1<lin1A'-are put into practice. in different ways, and may vary widely from one com- munity to the next: but the overall effect is the same. One Prim?! )7 purpose it serves in every commun- ity is to teach young lJ€0Dle the meaning of responsibility and give them opportunity to demonstrate that they can carry it.

The organization was officially established in 1922 when the Cana- dian Red Cross Society A015 W33 amended by Parliament to include peacetime activities. However, in 1899, students of an Ontario school were organized to assist the work of the Red Cross during the Boer War. They made socks and other comforts for parcels sent by the Red Cross to our soldiers in South Africa.

By 1961, 1,482,729 members of the Canadian Junior Red Cross con- tributed an average of 25 cents per member for their projects for needy children at home and abroad. This assistance, it is worth noting. W35 given regardless of color, race, re- ligion, or political belief. The countri- butions last year included 37,076 items of clothing, school supplies and other necessities to needy young- sters in sixteen countries.

Our Island organization has participated enthusastically in this program. We now have 13,793 mem- -bers in 552 elementary school bran- ches and 4,363 in 161 high school branches, making a total member- ship of 18,156 in 713 branches throughout the Province. For the year ending August last, some $3,- 125 was raised by these Island bran- ches in various ways, for the humane purposes above noted.

If the hope of the future lies—— as we all know it does——in the youn- ger generation. then we can imagine no more worthwhile training for the task of shaping its course than activities of this kind. It’s a new angle, too, on the parable of the widow's mite—and a most inspir- ing one.

When Parliament Meets

When Parliament meets on Thursday, Sept. 27, its first order of business will be to elect a new Speaker. Prime Minister Diefenbak- er is proposing Marcel Lambert, the bilingual member for Edmonton West. If the Government survives this test of strength, the next would come on Oct. 10 when the House is expected to vote on the Speech from the Throne. If the Government toppled then, an election would be called for mid-December.

That is how the commentators are figuring it out. It is assumed that the Government intends to proceed as if it had a majority in the Commons; that the eight-day debate would'get under way on Fri- day with Gordon Chaplin, Waterloo South. moving and Clement Vincent, Nyioolet-Yamaaka, seconding the ad- dress. Oltmsition leader Lester Pearson would .follow on Monday, than Social Credit leader. Robert Thompson and .-NDP House leader WJI. Herridge. Votes of non-con-

day and announce the immediate dissolution of Parliament and an early election. This is most unlikely, however, notwithstanding the an- announcement that Canada's elec- toral machinery will be able to handle another national contest any time after October 1. The Govern- ment has everything to gain and nothing to lose by holding off an election until. the political climate improves, and at least until it has had a chance to display its new legislative program.

The Government is said to be gambling that the preponderance of new MP5 will be reluctant to leave Ottawa for another campaign before they have a chance to get used to their new position and the financial reward that comes with it. That may not deter Mr. Pearson from putting his threatened non-confidence mot- ion at the conclusion of the Throne Speech, but it could prevent a com- bining of the Opposition strength to bring the Government to another early election; and it will be Octo- ber 22 before the by-election in Burnaby—Coquitlam when NDP lead- er T.C. Douglas hopes to get into the House. Up to that time, it is predicted, the Government can be fairly assured of maintaining its equilibrium.

But who knows? These are just airy speculations. There is always the fact that defeat of the Govern- ment could come by accident as well as design. If the parties themselves are having trouble sorting out their election thoughts, how can one fig- ure on what individual MP5 are going to do?

lmporlanl Dillerence

Despite all the explanations the British government has given with regard to its attitude toward the European Common Market. we note that there is a good deal of misun- derstanding on the subject. What causes most confusion, apparently, is that in the long, historic run, Brit- ain views European economic union and European political union as in-

separable. As Prime Minister Macmillan has emphasized repeatedly, however,

there is no ground to fear that the position of the British Sovereign would be threatened, or that the powers of the British Parliament would be circumvented. Amblgultiea have entered because of the confus- ion of a “federal” structure, which Britain opposes, with the “political” union which Britain envisions.

Thus Mr. Macmillan could agree with Hugh Gaitskell, leader of the Opposition, when Mr. Gaitskell ask- ed last July to make it “crystal- clear” that “if we go in on economic terms, we are not in any way com- mitted to further progress toward a federal setup in Europe.” Thus also Lord Home, British Foreign Secretary, could tell the House of Lords last month that “There is no question that we should be asked to put our signatures to a federal struc- true,” adding, however, that “we hope to have a hand in shaping the final political solution, whatever it may be.”

It is to be hoped, when this mat- ter is discussed in the Canadian Parliament in connection with Can- ada's attitude toward the Com- mon Market and Britain's participa- tion therein, that this important distinction will be kept in mind.

‘EDITORIAL NOTES

President Kennedy’s choice of Mr. W. Walton Butterworth as the next U.S. Ambassador to Canada seems to be a good one. A career diplomat, he was third secretary in the U.S. legation in Ottawa from 1932 to 1984. Since 1956 he has been U.S. representative to the European Coal and Steel Community and, since 1958, to the European Atomic Energy Community and the Euro- pean Common Market.

The problem of water pollution is no longer solely one of disposal of urban waste, but of guaranteeing adequate pure water to every man, woman and child in~the face of mod- ern developments. This was the warning sounded at a London meet- ing ‘attended by 700 natural scien- tists, who gathered to pool their ideas on ways to prevent water pol- lution. At this gathering, the first international conference on water- polution research, experts from

A PECULIAR ROLE

The OlherTrciding Group In Europe

In the events drawing Europe into economic and political un- lty. the European Free Trade association (EFTA) plays 11 pe- culiar role.

Its members are an oddly as- sorted group: United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark. Sweden, Switzerland, Austria and Portu- gal. Unlike lhe six nations of the European Common Market, they are not geographically con- tiguous. Four are NATO mem- bers and three-— Austria. Swit- zerland. Sweden-— are neutrals. As 21 group. their living stand- ards are high. Portugal, how- ever, is underdeveloped.

The seven joined in reaction to‘the creation of the Common Market. They desired a wider free trade area and fewer poll- tical overtones than the six Common Market countries were ‘ ' accept. The EFTA

w n constitution took effect May 3, 1960.

Milwaukee Journal

EFTA hasn't received as much attention as the Common Market. Economically, weaker unit and its success less dramatic.‘ While members have been lowering t a r i f f al among themselves. each is free to set its own tariffs with out- slders Common Market coun- tries. on the other hand. a re

Last year, total exports of the EFTA countries accounted for about one-seventh of world trade and imports an even larger proportion. E x p o r t s amounted to $19.5 billion com- pared with Unlted States ex- ports of $20.6 million. The Com-

: mon Market exported $32.3 bil- ' lion worth of goods last year.

Rhodesian Grievances

By Carmen Cumming Canadian Press Staff Writer

Increasing terrorism and the banning of an African national- ist party have put Southern Rho- desia back in the world spot- iight—-just where the national- ists want it.

Joshua Nkomo, leader of the banned Zimbabwe African Peo- ple's Union, commented that the outlawing of the party was a "good thing" and marked “the beginning of the end" for Sir Eric Whltehead's all-white gov- ernment.

Already delegates at the United Nations are talking of an early renewal of de e on the future of the self-governing Brit- ish colony.

The danger is that the difficult situation will be used by oppor- tunlsts who care little for the welfare of either the black or white community.

In the General Assembly de- bate in June. e Communist delegates charged Britain with trying to set up a “racist state" and demanded independence by the en year.

The Afro-Asian nations. more moderately, pressed through a resolution calling for a new con- stitution ensuring the rights of the 3.000.000 Negroes. ,

Britain. caught In the middle between the conflicting demands of the Negroes and the white community numbering less than a half-million. insisted that it had no right to interfere in the territory's internal. affairs.

The present constitution, ap- proved by the Britls Parlia- ment in December, 1961, sets up an enrolment system cal- culated to produce a 40-15 white majority in the legislative as- sembly to be elected next spring. It provides that as more

. Negroes join the voting rolls. a

‘black majority Will result in

eight to 12 years.

The nationalists say — prob- ably with some justification-— that the white community would never let this come about. WARNS OF VIOLENCE

But Nkomo's demands for im- mediate Negro control appear to cast doubt on his good faith. At the United Nations in June. he told an Interviewer it was un- thinkable that the whites should remain in control even "for an-

hcr year or so." and warned that there would be bloodshed unless the territory was freed from British control quickly.

He demanded that a confer- ence be called immediately to draft a new constitution will transfer power to the ma- jorit_v—-tltat is, the African peo- ple of Southern Rhodesia.

Undoubtedly the Negroes have grievances and cannot be ex- pected to accept white rule in- definitely. But Nkomo might do well to examine the Congo and Algeria tragedies and conlder whether the price of immediate independence might not be too

Hemophilia is rare amona women but occur when the father has hemophilia and the mother is a carrier. This is noted more often today because 0 the tendency of persons with c mmon inflrtnttles to get to- gether. Dr. R.G. Macfarlana told a young man with hemo- philia who was so impressed with the way a girl nursed her hemophlllac father he married her. Their daughter has the die-

so.

Hemophilia is caused by a congenital deficiency of either hf two blood clotting factors. Hemophilia-A has too little fac- tor VIII (AI-IF) whereas hemo- philia-B is deficient ls factor IX (PTC).

There are 12 different factors in bl od that play a role in blood clotting, hence various bleeding disorders are possible. Some bleedera lack this, and others. that. Diagnosis can be made only by running specific tests to determine clotting de- fects

Treatment of bleeding is timed at augementlng the defl- cient factor in the blood. Those with hemophllla-A need fresh blood or plasma because factor VIII is not found in serum or stored blood. Factor IX la more stable and is present in plasma, serum, and stored blood.

Return The Shinploster

Sarnla, Observer

What lthla country needs, along with removal of traffic jams, lower meat prices and lower taxes. is the return of the uhlnplasfcr.

It is to be supposed that a good many of our younger folk think a ahlniplaster is another name for a Band Aid. Ac it was a very convenient paper equivalent of 25 cents.

The shinrplaster had its ad- vantages. You could put one in a letter and send it off for an In- door llly root. You could send a couple along with a $2 bill to pay a parking ticket. You could make a very junior Junior feel like a big shot by handing him 25 cents in folding money.

e day when you can pay off bills under 31 by sending shin. plasters is gone. One reason is that the postal people would rather nick you the fnelgiht for e money order than have nnall ' to the malls. Qliartevs don't react too well to post office cimceuing machines.

Maybe the disappearance of the shlnplaater was due to the fact that by the moneuu-y seam. ards of false when they were in Willie. 25 cents could buy you
