On s. recent Sunday the BBC paid homage 1° 011C 01 111v Wczitcst of Britain's modern men, the lalc Lori Rutherford. Order 0f Merit, Nobcl Laureate, sometime President of the Royal Society. The iriburr was paid by Sir Hciiry Tizzirl, KALB, .-\.F.C. F.R.S., him- self a leading British scwsntist. Rutlierfords pioneer researches in nuclear physics, including his discovery of tlic way .n which radio-active substances break up, led hirri on to the knowledge of the stricture of the atom, and to his later great work at i\i51ilCll€5i€f and Cambridge. From the team which worked with him at the Caven-

‘l .~ dish Laboratory, Cambridge. have emerged many

of the men who today are the acknowledged mastersin this field. They are among those prominent in the development of atomic energy. Sir Henry 'l"izar<l won distinction iii the Air Force in the last ivar, being oiie of the first night fighter pilots. Later he became Assist- ant Controllcr of Expcrmeut and Research for the R. A. F. For the past few years he has been President of Magdalen College, Oxford, and lie is still closely associated with the latest developments in the field whicliRutherfords Sir Henry said

Physics at liiaivthcstcr, he proved that an atom must consist of a minute and very dense cen- tral core or nucleus of maltcr round which rotat- ed electrons at a relatively larger distance. This theory again upset all previous ideas, but has long since been well established and accepted. The third was when as Cavendish Professor of Physics at Cambridge, he showed that atoms

that did no: break up of their own accord could

be made to break up and be transformed into other kinds of atoms by artificial means."

The Ottawa correspondent of the Montreal Gazette says “either Quebec will gain seats or Ontario will lose seats in the House of Coni- nions in the next redistribution if the arguments presented to the House last session by Quebec members arc acted upon in the session to open next month.

"That redistribution will be a live subject ill the next session is certain. Ii will be again raised by Quebec members and it will have the support of‘ the government, from present indi- cations. Even when the debate on this subject

, warmed the House last October justice Minister

L. S. St. Laurent-admitted he was impressed by points made by his Quebec colleagues.

"But the central issue this time is, not simply the changing of constituency boundary lines to make the principle of representation by popula- tion fully operative, but the insistent demand of Quebec mcziibers for a removal of the discrim- ination against their province and in favor of Ontario, and this cannot be accomplished with- (X1! a change in the constitution of the B. N. A.

ct.

“For a long time Quebec has been tied to 65 seats and this has been a pivotal number. Representation in other provinces has g’oiie up or down through operation of a ratio rule. But today Ontario has 82 seats. At the 194i census

Ontario's population was 3,778,000 while Quc-

bcc's had grown to 3,329,000 This difference in population, Qucbce members contend, docs not warrant such a wide difference in repre- sentation, Quebec having to be content with I7 seats less than Ontario. It is probable that after tlie next decennial census, in i951 lthe gap will be nearly closed.

“Five years have passed since the last dc- ccnnial census, and to get away from the con- dition contained in the B. N. A. Acta resolu- tion was sent from this Parliament to the Brit- ish Parliament in I943 to have the Canadian Parliament freed from that requirement until the end of hostilities. This coining session will be the first since the end of the war, and when

the redistribution debate was on in the House last October Iustice Minister St Laurent said he hoped that this troublous redistribution ques- tion would be dealbwith, enacted, during the

session commencing early in I946

“Most members agreed at the time that

every effort should be made to keep this im- portant question out of the rralm of political controversy. But whether or not it is allowed

to become contioversial, and i‘. usually has be-

come so in previous bouts, there will be the solid insistence of Quebec to be freed from the B. N. A. A. requirement that ties their total House of Commons representation down to 65 seats",

idea of installing device; of the making of popcorn and installing them, moreover, ln the lobbies or foycrs of their theatres-of all places! To an individual lacking any sense of the aesthetic, or to one given to attending the movies for the main purpose of munching foodstuff, any protest will probably be meaningless. But, to the great majority of theatre patrons, who have long suffered from the lilt- \vlt impoliieness of those who mis- take a theatre for an eating-house. it is appalling. -Brantford Ex- positor.

All too many people believe that the ability to tench is the sole requisite of n teacher. It is true that this ability is an absolute necessity. Equally important, how- ever, is u keen sense of justice. If u student does not learn to under- stand and appreciate the principle of justice at school, he will pro- bably never learn it. Nothing he learns can be of such great im- portnnce, He may not find that the keen sens of justice and fair- piay which c aracterlzes a good teacher always prevails in the world outside the school, but if he never learns to appreciate justice and fair-iplny of school, hp will nev- er strive to spread these principles throughout the commuriity,_i.iie na- tion and the world in his post- student, days. —Owen Sound Sun- Times.

THE ARGENTINE MENACE

Sin-The verv recent expose 01 Agfentlna by the United States “ ue Book," loudly proclaimed to- day in nil papers, might rtrvr: to do what prominent political figures in various Allied countries have been unable to do for the past t/wo or three years, namely, open the eyes of the world to the threat to world security by one of the members of the great, Am- erican family of nations.

An effort was made at the San Francisco conference to bring into focus the danger to world peace that was in prooem of being built up in Argentina but it. was disregarded. Our own Canadian representatives extended open arms to Argentina as a sister democracy in the fight for peace. Rumba, the country with whom we “are going to have to fight another war," vot- ed against admitting Argentina to the United Nations Organization but rather than admit that R/us- slan delegates kcener foresight than we ac- cused them cf on Rus- sias power to force other representatives to accede to their demands, of’ bullying, and of numerous other sins. We refused to admit. the reasons for their ac- lions as legitimate because we did

But of the ancient clvllisations the Egyptians were by no means the only ones who had this par- tiality for perfumes and cosmetics, though, perhaps, none of the oth- ers used them in such a lavish marine . The Jews, the Greeks, the Arabs and the Romans, all made use of them at some time or other, but it was the Italians in the 16th century who became the greatest exponents of this‘ act.

Here in England, almost the some interest was shown in all these things ever since the Crusaders had brought back for their ladies the cosmetics’ secrets of the liar- em, and the use of selves, unguents and paints of one sort and another grew tremendously, though, must be remembered, ln those days perfume was used as much to mask the disagreeable odours due to the unpopuiarlty of washing and gen- eral absence of sanitation as to the pandering to sheer vanity. Anyway, perfumes‘ and cosmetics became so popular in the 18th cen- tury what with rougcs, perfumed gloves, perfumed cloaks, scented chests, (just to mention a few), that men felt themselves simply compelled to do something to pro- tect themselves. And so they did then-they passed an Act in Par- liament, in 1770, whereby it was made law “that all women, of whut- ever uge, rank, profession or de- gree whether virgins maids, or widows, that shall, from and after such an Act impose upon, seduce, and betray info mstr many, any of His Majesty's subjects, by the scents, paints, cosmetic washes, nr- tificial teeth, false hair, Spanish wool (is/sort of rouge), iron stays. hoops, high heeled shoes, bolstered hips, shall incur the penalty of the law now in force against witch- craft nnd like mlsdemeanours, and that the marriage, upon conviction, shall stand null and void." Well, that didn't leave many loop-holes; but far from stowlng the use of cosmetics and perfumes, it seems to have had the opposite effoct, though, so for as I lmo , this Act has not been repealed this dayl

Now in those days many of the ingredients of cosmetics most injurious, but the use of these ("white lead" for instance) are today prohibited by law. The days when earthworms-yes, earthworms
