A Resounding Success

Of course it was expected that ‘ Old Home Week this year would be "blgger and better“ than usual. And despite a few showery periods... which after all were what our farm- ers needed~the results have more than lived up to expectations. DOI on i .V in the record-break- ing attendance at the driving park and exhibition grounds. but in the enthusiastically expressed opinion of thousands of our visitors and citizens alike.

The spirit of the week was caught and given colorful ex- pression in the big Gold Cup and Saucer Parade yesterday morning, Which drew the biggest cr0wd ever seen at a turnout of this kind in Chariottetown’s long history. and which eclipsed anything heretofore attempted in our Island capital. The whole arrangement of the par- ade was excellent—an eye-filling spectacle with grand musical ac- ‘ companiment which 'lll who saw and

“heard will long remember.

To all who participated in it, from Parade Marshal Butler to the tiniest majorette. we tender our warm congratulations. And of course a special salute goes to those charm- .ing young ladies. the Gold Cup and Saucer Girls themselves, who also provided an extra attraction at the _racing events last evening.

Nor should We forget. while we are on the subject. a word of ap- preciation to these who worked un- tiringly behind the scenes to make this event such a success. as well as to the racing and exhibition offic- ials and all concerned in promoting "the week's activities.

. Not. the least gratifying feature ‘of the fair has been the high quality - ‘of the entries in the livestock and poultry classes. and the keen inter- est. taken both in them and in the :handicraft and other displays put. on ‘by the Women’s Institutes. These attractions, with the midway and vaudeville shows, were never seen iio better adVantage. I Altogether. a truly eventful Eweek for our city and province. even iin this year of big centennial events ‘ I which have focused so much atten- ftion upon us in all parts of Canada.

The Banks Case Justice Minister Favreau has as- I sured the House of Commons that : ieverything is being done to obtain 'information about the whereabouts ioi Hal Banks. deposed Canadian president of the Seafarers’ lnter- . national Union who failed to appear in a Montreal court on Monday on a charge on which he was free on 81,000 bail. and who happens also to be free on another charge With 1 825.000 ball. 5 The Canadian Pl‘eSs reports Mr. V Fsvreau as saying that the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has been asked for information about. Banks' movements. But it would seem that this is mainly a formal- ity. for if Banks is now outside the country he will not go to jail in ‘ Canada as long as he elects to re- main there. He can't be extradited. 'There is no provision in Canada's extradition treaties with the U.S. «and other nations governing the mturb of the charges against him.

and to incite union members to leave their vessels last autumn for a march on Ottawa to protest im- position of federal trustees-hip over the SIU. All charges deal with con. spiracy, but the only conspiracy count on which extradition is pos- sible is conspiracy to smuggle nar- cotics.

He was recently found guilty of contempt of court for ignoring an injunction against picketing—and was sentenced to 30 days in jail. An arrest warrant was issued. but Banks was not home when the bail- iff called. He hasn’t been seen by

the authorities since. That offense.

it seems. isn‘t extraditable either. It’s a civil matter.

Bail of $1,000 was cancelled when he didn’t appear on Monday. A new arrest warrant—this one criminal—was issued;‘ but unless he's in Canada it can't be served.

This is the situation, which Op- position Leader Diefenbaker says reveals a considerable amount of bungling on the part of Canadian justice authorities. Justice Minister Favreau doesn’t agree with him. But in the circumstances, we imag- ine there are quite a number of Canadians who do.

Fine Publicity

That great British newspaper. the London Times. has trumpeted our tourist charms abroad in a glowing article on Prince Edward Island which appears in its issue of Saturday, August 8, accom- panied by a picture of Cavendish Beach and another showing a sec- tion of the Charlottetown business area from Queen Square.

The article is perhaps note- worthy in that it doesn’t contain any highfalutin wisecracks about our no-doubt obvious shortcomings, or about the extravagance of put- ting a multimillion-dollar Confede- ration Memorial Centre in this out- of-the-way place! It’s just a plain, homely. appreciative account of one newsman‘s very favorable impres- sions. '

These impressions deal with the beauty of our rural settings. form- ed by the juxtaposition of farm and sea; with the charm of our red soil. rolling downland and sea creeks penetrating far inland: with the “sand-peeps" on our beaches, great blue herons standing like cranes on the edge of the creeks. and enormous kingfishers; with fields white with potato flowers, roadsides bright with Blackeyed Susan and golden rod; with the daily chores of our farmers and fishermen.

It deals. too. with the magnifi- cence of our Charlottetown harbor. the stateliness of our historic Legis- lative Building and Government House. with the fine tourist facili- ties at our National Park, providing “the warmest sea bathing north of Florida"; with Malpeque Bay and its luscious oyster resources. round which lives “the Devon community. men with soft West Country ac- cents and bearing the family names of the early nineteenth-century settlers in villages called Bideford. Northam. West Devon.” and with other features that were found‘in- teresting and attractive to this overseas visitor.

The writer has special praise

for the “magnificent program for.

the centennial celebrations" in Cher- lottetown: declares that the Queen. when she comes here in October, will be visiting Canada’s “most charming province.” and concludes with a citation of the fare. in pounds and shillings. from London and Liverpool to Halifax by air. after which. "on to Charlottetown takes another 40 minutes by internal flight."

United States. the clearest one came from lax-President Harry Truman, who said: "I think he's a

IT’S GETTING LATE

THE UN IN CYPRUS

Freedom Of Movement Badly Hompered

When the United Nations. wiin the agreement of Archbishop Makarios. decided peace- keeping force to Cyprus there were high hopes that this operation would restore order on that tormented island. The re- cent terrible events — violent, at- tacks by Greek Cyprioi forces on one of the last strongholds of the Turkish Community in the North West of the island. and : the Turkish air strike against the attackers —- have shown once more that the United Na- , lions Force has been unable to i restore peace.

In practice. the United Na-' tions has been unable to disarm the fighting parties or, in many cases. to separate them. United Nations soldiers often came un-

The Conservatives took over the national government in 195] after 22 years ot.’ Liberal rule. There was no firing at all and the only important resignation that. comes to mind is that of Mr. Mitchell Sharp as Deputy Minister of Trade. and he had other fish to fry.

If provincial elections are [0 followed ivil Service massacres it will be a return to the dark ages of patronage. Gov-

governments firing employees are pretty dull if they think the public is ready to condone blat- ant patronage today.

Goldwater’s Revisions

Winnipeg F

Senator Barry Goldwater has I issued modified versions of most of the views that caused alarm during and after his elec- tion at the Republican Party's nominating convention. He ex—‘ plains that he is not an extrem- ist himself; he will seek lh c ‘ support of no extremists. ;

The difficulty. of course. is! that these modifications h a ve ‘ come after his nomination. 1t ; was not by such qualifications I that he captured the party lead- I ers‘tip. But the moderation has > since ome necessary In or- der toiunify the party sufficient- ly to fight on effective election. And in ration has become . necessary in order to seek the j

support of the vast number of I f reed

merlcan voters who remain in 1 the centre. I

Nor will this recent modera-, tton alienate the more extreme i followers: for they ' may feel that his more extreme attitudes j while seeking the nomination! re esent his real views. andi

extremism. except in a time of * revolution. And even revolution. sooner or later. has to moder- ate and come to terms with reality. ori will crack under its tensions.

Even in the White House n is president can ignore the moder- ating powers of Congress. And even if he appeals beyond Con- gress to the people. in order to bring public ooinlon to bear 0 Congress itself. he has to appeal in such a way as to move t people as a whole. And the peo- ple as a whole are not extreme.

Barry Goldwater. in other words. is not only tryine to

terms with political realities: he may be gradually o lo come-'to better terms with reality itself.

these arms were unloaded. The Turkish community has also re- ceived some arms shipments. but not on a comparable scale.

The heavy build-up of their military strength has enabled the Greek Cypriots to carry out large scale attacks on villages of the Turkish Cypriot com- munity. The tragic events of re- cent days were only the climax of what was obviously a consis- tent policy.

There has been a dismrbing pattern between increased at- taoka 'by the Greek Cypriots on the Turkish Cypriot community and efforts to achieve a solution by diplomatic means. When the Security Council decided to send a peace - keeping force to Cyp- rus a United Nations Mediator ‘ was appointed at the same time to use his beer endeavours with the various parties and govern- ments concerned. with a View to promoting a peaceful solution. The Mediator. too. has encoun- tered great difficulties. Hopes of progress through his activities had risen at the time when the Greek Cypriots launched the lat- est attack against the Turkish Cypriot community.

On this occasion the United Nations Force was unable to stop the fighting. Swedish sold- iers came under heavy fire. They have been prevented by the Greek Cypriots from evacu~ siting some of the women and children from the Turkish vil- lages under attack Then came the Turkish air strike. inflicting heavy losses on the Greek Cyp- riots. lt followed a warning by the Turkish government that. unless the Greek Cypriot assault on the Turkish Cypriot villages ceas . Turkey would have to take action to prevent their lot- al extermination.

boss or LIVES

There has been loss of lives and tragic suffering on both sid- es. Public opinion in all coun~ tries regrets the suffering of the Greek and Turkish Cypriots. The practical question now is how fut-flier bloodshed and cut. i faring can be averted. I

The Security Council has paSo- I ed a resolution calling for a ‘ ceasefire and urging all con- J corned to refrain from any ac- tion which might further aggra- vate the situation. A ceasefire is in force: but it could be broken. If fighting were to flare up again. peace would be threaten- ed not only in Cyprus but in the whole Eastern Mediterranean. and no one can tell how far a conflagretlon might spread.

At sh . the author- ity of the United Nations would flouted and undermined. It is n the interest of all countries. in particular the small and non- allgned countries. which look to the United Nations for their protection. that lie authority should be upheld.

The United Nations can only succeed in peace - keeping oper- ations like that. in Cyprus if It meets with co- ratloh from

Cosmetic Prostheses

By Dr. Theodore It. Vest Ballets |

Anything that sounds ridicul-j ous could be mistaken for ur- casm or a sign of ignorance. A woman wrote to us and wanted to know where her husband. who had been in an Iccident.g could get a false nose. I told her : to consult a plastic surgeon. a makeup artist or a salesman in . a novelty shop. - '

A critical and somewhat mean letter (unsigned) came to the office a few days later. “For sheer ignorant sarcasm. this‘ reply takes the prize. Trainingl that turns out professionals of! your ilk should be eliminated or : else dispense with the Hippocrs- I tic oath and'just turn out mona- ters. You certainly added noth- Ing to this poor woman‘s pe ce of mind. Years of training and i thousands of dollars to turn out 1 a juvenile smart alec." ‘

The answer was not intended I to be sarcastic. I suppose wel could have told this woman to ‘ ask the surgeon taking care of 1 her husband but such a repiyi would not be informative for the i rest of our readers. Our critic obviously is not acquainted with the lifelike niastoc masks and; other prostheses used to cover; unsighin wounds and defects. i

The technique of making pros- ‘l theses has improved over the . years and sum widely employed by cal and dental Mitch credit goes ress made in developing materials used: many of e newer plastics and light meta als are made to order for this ‘ purpose. A Mayo clinic dentisli recently won an awar at medical convention for his ex- hibit of facial prostheses.

We suggested a makeup ar- tist or a salesman in a novelty shop because these people han- dle products of this type and might be able to suggest the name of a manufacturer who could help along this line. Plastir surcrons utilize l'iese prostheses as temporary and in- expensive covcruos while recon- structing the nose.

Cuttinz off the nose was a common form of punishment in the day of Hippocrates. Those criminals would have welcom- ed a crude facsimile of our mod- ern masks worn at Hallowe‘en or as a gas:
