Our Formal Opening

It was a privilege indeed to have such a large number of guests pre- sent at the formal opening and dedication on Saturday of our new Guardian Building. The occasion was, of course, of prime importance to us but it was enhanced by the presence of His Honour the Lieuten- ant Governor, wiho participatei 1" ithe ceremony, by the Hon. Thane A. Campbell, Chief Justice, whose ad- dress was a feature of the occasion, by Premier Matheson and members of his Cabinet, Members of the Leg- islature, His Worship the Mayor and City Councillors, the Mayors of the various municipalities and rep- resentatives of the clergy and judi- ciary, and of our leading business establishments, farm organizations and other groups throughout the Province.

Even under the most hygienic surroundings, the child will develop poorly-physlcgllv Ind mentally--unless he gets essential tender, loving care. Before the age , of reason, a child is unable to com- . prehend why he should be separ- ated from his mother.

In fact, they actually enjoy the intelligent restrictions of an orderly life. ”Children are such amazing litle creatures," Dr. Potu them in simple words why they have to go to the doctor, or the hospital, or why they have to have an operation, and, in most cases, they will co-operate in a fashion that adults might well emulate.

Newspapers have a long and creditable tradition in this Prov- ince, starting with the first semi-

1787, which was instrumental in in- ducing a number of United Empire Loyalists to come to this Island and in establishing their claims upon the proprietors for grants of land. Since that time the press has taken a leading part in all reform move ments in the Province, including the fight for responsible government, for the secret franchise and the numerous in nd settlement hills which preceded our entry into Con- federation. Our people are news- paper-minded to an exceptional de- gree, and the steadily increasing circulation which The Guardian has enjoyed in recent years is evidence I of this continuing trend.

We share fully in the belief that Prince Edward Island, along with the other Atlantic Provinces, is on the eve of greater progress and de- velopment. Newspapers have an op- portunity here which we believe to be of prime value in giving encour- agement in every way to this for- ward movement, -and to all who are

This evening and tomorrow eve- ning, between seven a n (1 nine o'clock, the Guardian Building will be open to the general public and it is hoped that all interested will drop in and see the plant in operation. They will be most welcome-both old friends and new.

The Ontario Government has in-

troduced into the legislaftxure a bill providing for the establishment of the Ontario Water Resources Com- mission. This Commission will have authority to seek, acquire, and dis- Jtribute water throughout the prov- ince and to control all water re- sources, including an adequate sew- age disposal program. The project which the Commission will face is estimated to cost 2.5 billion dollars during the next 20 years. Creation of the new" Commission is dictated by industrial demand, and follows the report of the Water Resources Committee appointed last summer, which was asked to recommend the best method of providing adequate supplies of suitable water to muni- cipalities, industries, agriculture, and other consumers for entire areas. 0 The water problem 1.: now of serious concern to many provinces, states and other countries. It is in- yteresting to note that the State of California will consider this year a 12-billion-dollar w-ater p i an, which would take many years to complete and would involve the construction and operation of more tthan 260 new major dams and re- servoirs. Of particular interest to agriculture, is the estimate that California agriculture will event- ually use about 80 per cent of water consumed for all purposes, even after population has increased from 13 million to 40 million and irrigated farm land increased from 7.3 million acres to more than 19 million acres.

The interest of agriculture in the conservation and the maximum wise use of water resources is vital. Farm family welfare is directly de- pendent on increases in net farm -incomes, which are possible in the long run, only by maximizing the use of soil and water resources.

General In' A Blind Alley

Winnipeg Free P:-cu

General Guy Simonds, former chief of the general staff, has chosen a curious lime to beat the tom-toms for conscription. The primary purpose of compulsory service is presumably to put more men in uniform. That has. cer- tainly, some advantages. But it also has a heavy cost.

If argurr is for conscription are to carry any conviction, General Simonds must show tl.at this cost would be outweighed. He must shot, first, that the services are using the men they now have to best advantage and. secondly, that with more men doing essentially the same things that the army is doing now, the country would be safer in this thermonuclear age.

Neither of these propositions is .elf-evident. In the last war, as Major-General Burns has shown convincingly in his recent, book, the Canadian Army wasted its general service manpower in a shocking fashion. with 390,000 act- ive service men on strength, it could not einforce 38,000 infantry in the field. Moreover, it was then operating in the relatively famil- in world of conventional weapons.

Everyone will agree with Gen- erai Simonds that the development of intercontinental bombers armed with atomic and hydrogen bombs poses grave new threats to Can- adian security. How would com- pulsory service in peace-time help matters? For what are all these men to be trained?

ASKED IN OTHER COUNTRIES

These same questions have been asked in other countries. The Bri- tish, after long experience of con- acrlpiion and much hard thought, have decided to rely in future upon smaller, more highly trained forc- es. As Sir Anthony Eden said this week: "Where the ultimate deterrent (the hydrogen bombi is present. large forces confronting eaehtother with all the panoply of guns, tanks and supporting arms. have not the same significance they once had."

There had been a good deal of talk about the politics of conscrip- i.ion. What of its economics?

There are people who say that conscription is a cheap way of hav- ing an army. That in not true. The real measure is not purely fi- nancial. It is the loss to the coun- try of what the conscripts are doing now. They are at school or in jobs, learning or producing.

According to the testimony of many witnesses before Congress- ional committees in Washington, the Russians have been making great strides in production and technology. Congress has been told - by American generals - that many of the new Soviet weapons are better than anything that the United States can show. Behind these new machines are technic- clans and scientists annually than is the United States. Nor is this all. To ensure yet more production in industry and agriculture, the Soviet Government is taking 1,- 200,000 men out of uniform and putting them into overalls. The avowed goal of the Russian is to outpace North America qualita- tively and quantitatively. Is it ser- iously suggested that this danger can be met by taking Canadian students out of the schools, Canad- ian workers ont of industry. and shipping them off to youth train- ing camps "to learn discipllne'."'

At this point General Simonds - me: close in arguing that con- scription in something more than a necessary means. as he sees it, to the end of national security. lie implies that it is something good in ltself.Those two arguments are entirely different and separate, and the second is a strange one to address to people in a free soc- iety. There are other disciplines besides the " ' " e of the camp; and some of them - notably the disciplines of the study lamp and the work bench - are. in this mod- ern form of the world struggle. quite as significant for national security.

A Genius Among Artisans

Nicola: Slonilninky in the Clirialan science Monitor

Cremona is a small town in Lombardy, but in the world of music it is the capital of violins. For it was in Cremona that gen- erations of Italian violin maker: established their stronghold. Of these, the most glorious was An- tonlo Stradivarius.

Stradivarius is the latin form of the Italian name Stradivari. which is the plural of Stradivare. a Lom- bard colloqulallam for Stradiere, a customs officer. whose duty was to collect dues on the Strada, or highroad. i

Stradivarius did not emerge in- to the world of violins without a long line of illustrious predeces- :or:.Therewas the family of Nic- olai Amail that established Cre- mona's fame among usicians. Early chronicles of Crcmona in- dicate that Stradlviarius himself was an apprentice to Amati. In- deed. some of the ,instrumentii made by the Stradivarius were "nmatized", that is, followed the shape of the Amati Instruments.

But whether or not he learned his art directly from Amati is of lime importance. Cremona pro- dneod violin makers as naturally as Ihple: ptpduced tenon; Strad- ivnriu: and Amati represented Iimiln facets of the Cremona spirit.

His little shop occupied only one room on the ground floor of his house: he uaed simple tools; be gauged by caliper: the arching and the dipping of the frame of hi: instruments. and be translated into ximpi charts the measure- ments of the edges, narrow or broad. ridged or flat.

FBUITFUL TREE

Like gold apples on bright lands, The lyrics fall;

And still the hand:

Max reach and take, over all The full tree stands.

And on each branch upon the tree New verses spring

Abuudantly,

And meters small with fledgling

wing Sing joyously.

0 golden tree that Homer knew And Virgil sang. Where Petrarch's lovely :onneta

grew.

And couplets trim and ballads , sprang

And rondeaus flew.

In rhyme and stress; And endlessly the quatrains :mall Are picked with zest.

twelve viola:. and fifty cello: are still in exsiatence. There are al:o many thousands of violin: in which, seen through the f-hole, ap- pears the magic inscription : "An- tonio Stradivarius Cremonenai: I"aciehat." These "strada" were manufactured during the 19th cen- tury in a small central European locality without a real attempt to pass them as the work of Stradi- varius. Thelr prices are so low as to make it obvious even to the moat gullible purchaser that the products are not genome.

EIGHT RULES , So. to aid all concerned here

are eight fundamental rule: which

rill help you become a better pat- en :

1. See your physician re ar for periodic checkups. gm 1, 2. Either keep your appointment or telephone theidocto'r': office to cancel it if you can't make it. 3. Dont expect special favor: in

the physician: waiting room. Don't.

assume that you should be taken ahead of prior commitments on the appointment book.

4. Tell your doctor even "unpleas- ant" facts about yourself if they may help him in his diagnosis. 5- D0!” try to diagnose your own ailment: or prescribe your own treatment.

DOCTOIPS ORDERS

ti. Follow your doctor's orders. After all, you're paying for his advice.

7. Discuss the question of medic- al and surgical fees openly and honestly and expect an honest and straightforward answer.

8. Your doctor probably is a very busy man these days. Don't tire him with a tedious detailed dis- culaion of matters which do not pertain to your visit. PHYSICIANS JOB ,

Usuail , it's up to the phyician to acqua nt his patients with these suggestions. People. it seems. just don't come by them naturally.

If : doctor can take a iiltle time to discuss the reasons he- hind these fundamentals. he'll pro- bably have good, loyal and apprec- iative patienls. Patients, too, will then have a better understanding of the doctor.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

Mrs. S.J.: How many books be disinfected after having been hand- led by I person with a contagious disease?

Answer: Very little attention is paid to books as a possible spread of disease. Usually, it is best to air for at least 12 hours every- thing in a room in which there has been a case of contagious dis-' ease. All articles should be ex- poled to the sunlight as much as possible.

However. if the infection is due to smallpox the books and other articles should be destroyed.
