it is obvious that the Province cannot go on adding two or three riiillioii dollars a year to its indebted- tie-s without iiicurring serious con-

scqiieiices. it has

been suggested

that perhaps this is what Ottawa would like to see. as preliminary to our forced amalgamation with some other administrative unit. Whether there be any basis for this specula- tion or not, there is no point in dwelling on it. The fact is that as a Province of Canada. Prince Ed- ward Island has not received in the past and is not receiving now a fair fiscal deal from the Federal Gov-

arnment.

The "little concessions" to which the Premier referred are all very well as far as they go. although we have as yet to hear of anything this Province has received to which it was not entitled. But it would be foolish to look upon them as fitting substitutes for a broad and compre- hensive acknowledgement of our claims. And it would be disastrous to proceed on the assumption that, since our Federal representatives have been unable to convince the authorities that these claims are just

The School Trustees

and reasonable, it simply cannot be done.

Much has been said in the Legis-

lature and in the briefs presented to the Committee on Education regard- ing the need for bigger administra- tive units ln place of the present school-district system. The general opinion seems to be that the change would make.for greater efficiency

and, in due course, lead to the estab- lishing of consolidated schools which in the long run would be less costly to operate. There probably is some

justification for this view; and the fact that it is supported by the Fed- eration of Agriculture is likely to have considerable influence on de- partmental policy, since of course it is the farmers who in the rural dis-

tricts have to provide the bulk of

the school taxes.

The proposed change. however,

l.oc;il

will not be an easy one to bring school districts have played an important role in the social development of the Province, iiiiil our people will be in no hurry to give them up unless they are reasonably certain that the change would be in the best. over-all inter- ests of the educational process: and, of course, it would be a mistake to make the change without its having I wide measure of support at the "grass-roots". In principle, no doubt. a big unit would be more efficient than a small one; but in practice a big unit that is not appreciated is ,less efficient than I small one that is.

In all the discussions on this

Ire times when the Sen-etai-y. who has to do most of the actual work and worrying. is hard pressed to balance his books. The prompt col- lecting of taxes is always a difficult chore. and it is not made any less difficult by the fact that the collector lives "just up the road I piece."

All in all. trustees do pretty well with the resources at their disposal. Tiiey deserve an occasional word of encouragement.

Confusions Re U. N.

On his arrival in London after conferring with President Eisen- hower in Bermuda. Prime Minister Macmillan was quoted as saying "no country can have a policy which merely says we'll leave it to the Lfnited Nations." There is increasing evidence that President Eisenhower is hegiiiiiing to share that view. The difference between him and Mr. lilac- millan on this point is that while lie does not like to express the opinion out loud. the Prime Minister sees no reason why he should be reticent about it.

The l'iiited Nations was iievcr intended as an organization liavii.-4 the power of decision over its meni- bcrs. its function. such as it is. is of an advisory rather than a controlling nature. And perhaps its main weak- ness lies in the confusions which surround the interpretation of its

charter.

President Eisenhower, ii a v i n i: kept the lllidle East crisis before the UN. General Asembly for so long and having invoked the Charter at every stage-to very little purpose. as things turned out-is so com- mitted to UN. procedural rules that it is almost impossible for the United States to take independent action, no matter how great the danger may be or how threatening its outcome. Even the "Eisenhower Doctrine". in form at any rate. cannot function except. in accordance with majority opinion in the U.N. This makes for a ridiculous situation, since its main purpose is to thwart Soviet aggres- sion in the Middle East-the very thing which, with one exception (the Korean affair), the U.N. has been reluctant to do anything about. Of course, if the time ever comes when the Doctrine has to be' put into operation, its formal tie with the U.N. Charter will in all likelihood be forgotten. Nevertheless, that is how it is understood at present by the Afro-Asian bloc: and that is probably why Egypt and the other Arab states appear to be little dis- turbed, if at all, by its implications.

It can now be considered almost certain that the Queen will visit Canada and the United States some- time this year. probably in early autumn. It is likely, too, that Her Majesty will come to Canada first and then over to the U.S. This would seem to be the proper procedure, Canada being one of the Queen's Realms; and Prime Minister St. Lau-

And they have been told. without consultation. that I Royal Com- mission has been set up to "look liito the matter." Any professional man over here knows what that sort of promise means.

The findings of Royal Commit sions bind no-one in any way, and usually their findings get pushed away into a Ministry pigeonhole. Now the doctors have issued In ultimatum.

A KIA!) 3' IINOPAUII

Mn: womoe have I greet. dread If the menopause. They bIve beard nuny stories about and feel that this physical change mean the end of life itself. This just is lot so.

The truth is that most women bave little distress and I great many bave nope when going through the menopause.

AI for being the end of life. let's look It things Ilatiscally. EACH CASE VABIES

Although the time this change begins vnries. in almost every case, it usually Itnns somewhere around the In of 50; at least between the late forties and the early fifties.

That means women generally can expect at least another 25 years of life beyond the meno- pause.

This physiological change ac- tually means the end of only I Iingla functlon- the capacity ity to bear children. it is I per- fectly natural stage at a woman's development.

While this phase sometimes he- gins abruptly. it usually is a grad- ual process requiring I period of several years.

Believe it or not. some women are not even aware of the change

which is taken pace. I You have probably heard a lot about "hot flashes." This is a

sudden rush of blood to the face. cheat and neck generally followed by perspiration. But statistics show that only about 20 per cent of the women actually experience this "traditional" symptom of the menopause.

TEMPORARY ILLS

Menopause does not mean I mental breakdown. cancer. I heart disorder or any such thing. The nervous. depressed feeling some women feel during this phase of life usually is only tem- porary.

How. you will react to this situa- tion. of course. depends upon many things. Among them are your health. the way you inter- pret your symptoms. your eco- nomic and soclnl position and your understanding of just what the menopause means.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

M. W.: My son recently cut himself. He now has an extremely llrlle gear which the doctor calls I keloid. is there anything that can be done for this?

Answer: Usually I kelold can be helped by local radium or X- rIy treatments, but ask the doc- tor and follow his advice.
