ll . Formal Axiologyll

At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology scholars in various fields have started a program in what they call a "Research Society for Altruism". The idea, stripped of pedantic terms, is how to find a workable approach to man's moral problems in these days of great scientific advancement. The answer to these problems, in the opinion of Dr. Robert Hartman. one of the philosophers attending the confer- ence, is "formal axiology", which he interprets as the "theory of value".

”The only way to bring order from the chaos of human relations," said Professor Hartman, ”is to make the same kind of systematic analysis as the founders of natural sciences have made in their fields." That thesis is open to debate; but, con- troversy aside. people of goodwill everywhere will wish the scientists and philosophers every success in their venture. The very fact that they recognize the existence of moral problems as distinct from scientific, political and cultural ones is, in itself, something for which to be thankful; for it is a belated ad- mission that the advancement of science, from which so much was expected. has not been able to solve all the problems of human relations.

One wonders. however. whether their studies and deliberations will produce anything more practicable than those simple principles laid down in a Book which, after many centuries of controversy, remains the great textbook of moral and spiritual values.

"Blessed are the peacemakers.

5 "Blessed are the merciful.

"Whatsoever things ye would that men should do to you. do ye even so to them.

"Judge not that ye be not judged.

"If it be possible. as much as iieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

"If thine enemy hunger. feed him; if he thirst, give him drink. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

"Owe no man anything, but to love one another.

"Be ye kind to one another, for- giving one another.

"Let all your things be done ww- charity.”

Public Inclilterence

A few days ago civil defence exercises were staged in St. John's, Nfld. A total tie-up of city traffic was scheduled for five minutes in the afternoon and for a similar per- iod in the late evenings when lights were expected to be put out both in cars and in homes. A great deal of work and planning preceded the event. Civil defence personnel, police, firemen and the St. John Ambul- ance Brigade had worked diligently to" make the exercises effective.

Everything went according to plan-as far as participating officials were concerned. But as for public co-operation, a subsequent report says it was lacking. People went cas- ually about their business as usual. Very few persons took shelter at the prearranged signal, and only I small number of motorists thought it worth while to stop their cars. In the evening the blackout was almost a total failure.

Similar stories have been report- ed from other parts of the country;

2:53; 2-as iii; ;;l.

for one-say it is a waste of time and money. Certainly. unless and until the Federal Government can make a better case for it than has been made hitherto, the public will remain more or less indifferent.

Alert Practitioners

Pharmacists from all parts of the Island participated recently in a refresher course in Charlottetown. The course was sponsored by the Canadian Foundation for the ad- vancement of pharmacy and was conducted in co-operation with the Maritime College of Pharmacy which is affiliated with Dalhousie Univer- sity. Among the subjects discussed was the role played by pharmacists in the distribution of drugs as well as in consideration of newer agents used medicinally, such as antidiabe- tic agents and vaccines presently be- ing made available as preventative measures against various types of influenza. These matters are not of interest merely to one branch of our professional men in this Prov- ince; indirectly they concern us all, and the zeal shown by our Island druggists in keeping abreast of the, latest developments is of service to the whole community.

Drug stores have an ultramodern look these days, and cater to many consumer demands; but the prescrip- tion department is still the most im- portant part of the establishment. The prestige it enjoys rests, as it has always done. upon the well- founded confidence which the public has in the skill and knowledge of its practitioners.

EDITORIAL NOTES

In one place in the South ma- chine guns have been set up to repel any federal troops who might be sent in to enforce court orders on school integration. This will suit Southern old-timers who have al- ways argued that the war between the States has never ended.

Fishermen at Herring Cove, N.S., threw 70,000 pounds of herring back into the sea last Saturday because cold storage plants in nearby Hali- fax happened to be closed on that day. Meanwhile, hundreds of New- foundland fishermen have had to stop fishing because of a bait short- age.

A man in Chicago who claims to have founded the "State of Celes- tial Space" has notified the Russians that their launching of a moon "vio- lated" his territory. So far, he has not threatened to take the matter up with the UN. He ought to do so, so as to give member nations an opportunity of agreeing on a solution to at least one problem.

More trouble is looming in the Far East. An Indonesian politician visiting Chins reports that he was "greatly impressed" by the progress made in that country under Com- munist rule. He says he is ready to work for "strengthened relations" between the two countries. To, all of which the masters of China will

Highway authorities in one of the States have set apart a certain stretch of the roadside for the con- venience of motorists who might like to take a nap. Police protection will be provided. However, the mot- orists will have to provide their own blankets and pillows. At least. there is nothing in the announcement to indicate that the State will pay for these enticement: to slumber.

OTTAWA REPORT Preparing Royal Welcome

By Patrick Nicholson

Ottawa: Man and nature have combined to set I brilliant siagev, in Royal Ottawa to welcome Ihei Queen on Saturday afternoon. Flags. hunting and elaborately painted woolen shields decorate every public buildings and lamp standard. Their motif of scarlet and gold ll repeated lavishly on the autumn foliage. and the flaming maples on the distant Gatinean liills appear like a. huge red carpet.

The combination of Thanksgiv- ing and the Queen's visit will give hoolchildren a four-day brook. when the bands and the ceremonial and even the chang- ing of Canada's own guard out- side the temporary palace will give them I free show unmIic"- ed in North America.

Bandstand: have been erected In all sorts of unlikely poll. The sightseeing visitor. even th e Queen hersclf. coming round any corner may unenpect ”y find

IInI tootllng Iwn-y. On ritu- ment Hill I huge stand for E bandsmen will be the scene of several concerts by the massed bands of the Canadian Guards, the Navy. the R.C.A.F. Ind Que- bec'a own "Van Door." BEALISM OF WAR

The musical climax will be reached after the Queen has op- ened our 23rd Parliament on Thanksgiving DIy. Then all these bands will be Joined by the nIvy's artillery Ind the'bella of the Peace Tower to render Tcha- lkowsky's thunderous "1312 Ov- erture." In the glorious under- statement of a civil servant, the climatic effect of the bands with actual cannon shots and the ring- ing of many hells should pro- vide III unusual experience for imnic lovers.

11:: Queen. Ilrendy no strang- er to Ottawa. will also find that she is no stranger to the tempor- rnry Royal " dchnmber. A Go- erncnmt House official tells me that she will again occipy the oval Room. This Iclual-ly a

whole suite of two bedrooms. two bathrooms and I sitting room. up on the second floor. These are the two best of the ten bedrooms available for visitors to Government House, used by many celebrated visitors includ- aa Princess Elizabeth. she stay- ed with Governor-General Alex- ander six years ago.

in contrast to being rushed ofll her feet in 1951. the Queen will. enjoy ii more humane pace at the suggestion of Prime Minio- ler Diofeitdker on tins visit. In five dws. she only has five major engagements. These are opening Parliament; dinner with the Prime Minister and Mrs. Diefenbaker; I State dinner Ind reception at Government House; a diplomatic and otflcinl recep- tion at the Chateau Lnurierz and laying a wreath at the National War Memorial. QUEEN AND FLU FLY

Ottawa is billed to be at the

die Asian flu epidem- I,c”i: & time the Ones Rica here. so the ranks of cheering children may be sadly thinned. Prime Minister Diefenbaker was found by te to be immune. but all other pr ncipnl characters in the programme have been vac- cinated against the flu.

Another medical precaution which has been taken in to make sure that ncontaimimtod wat- er for cooking and drinking pur- poses will be available wherever the Queen will have I meal. in eluding her scheduled but un- publicised private 3 f picnic in the flaming Gstlneau Hills. On her last visit she quickly fell victim to the Ottawa "tummy flu" - given I more expressive name by Ottawa's schoolboy: - with discomforting consequen- ces to a tight progranlne.

This flying Royal visit asphal- lses how fast airliners have slashed distances. Already the Queen's visit next to Canada - io open the St. Lawrence Sea- way perhaps 18 months hence - is being planned here.

OTTAWA: At the request of the Western Ind Atlantic Pro- vlncea that are opposing the roll- wIys' application for I 10 per cent increue in freight rated. the Transport Board has adjour- ned ilie hearings until Odo er ls. '

BOARD PLEIIBCITE

Sir.-lf we farmers say No in the coming Marketing Board plebiscite. what will we have then? No Board? Or will we be expected to form a Marketing Board to suit ourselves?

We certainly need a Board with power to collect fees to pro- mote sales and control diseases (we will never control ring rot without spending more money). and to see that the producer gets his fair share of the consumer's dollars. etc. -

I think when the Government goes to the trouble and expense of a plebiscite we should be given on omortunity of rioting what we want.
