Some Timely Thoughts

The noted English historian A. L. Rowse recalls that back in the 1940s Franklin. Roosevelt wrote to Winston Churchill: “What fun it is to be alive in the same decade with you.” This characteristic of zest and high spirits Prof. Rowse at- tributes to the American strain in the great British war leader.

On the British side he placed the sheer bulldog pertinacity and per- sistence of the man, also the rarer quality of moral-eourage—an aristo- cratic gift of political indomitability, the instinctive thinking of the safety of the state, no matter what any-

irrepressible good nature, the op- and sheer boyishness which

fun and enjoyment of life

worst of times, made Sir Winston an American symbol as well.

This takes us, says Prof. Rowse, to what the heart of the symbol— a very human personality—has to gay to us today. That is the in- sistence on the free expression of the normal and healthy spirit in a world that has been ravaged by persons afflicted with power-mania, persecution-mania, spy-mania, every eort of personal and political mania. There never was a man of genius more extrovert and friendly than Sir Winston, more free from sus- picion or any kind of meanness, more humane and magnanimous.

When the Legislature’ meets on February 18, there will be two new members to be installed, from Fifth Prince and First Kings ly, following the byelections on Feb-

$

cannot be ratified without the approval of the ten provincial legis- latures. Only after it has passed this test will it be submitted to Par- liament for full examination, and quite possibly a federal election will intervene before then to delay ac- -tion still further.

Canada thus has the better part of a year to reconsider ‘the irrevoc- able decision posed by the new for- mula by which the Constitution may be moved from Britain to Canada. Theoretically at least, it would seem that federal authority could be eroded under this formula in such areas as taxation, monetary policy, interprovintial commerce and foreign trade, all of them essential to the government of any nation.

Disintegration from the centre | would be assured if any four prov- inces demanded the right to tres- pass on these or other fields of fed- eral jurisdiction and Parlfament agreed to surrender them. This formula has found favor on the pre- text of national unity, but some eminent constitutional lawyers re- gard it as a dangerous innovation.

The federal and provincial gov- ernments seem to regard this dan- ger as imaginary. But for the smaller provinces at least it poses a problem which should be very carefully considered. It will be our Legislature’s duty to do its share of the probing when the issue comes. up. Basically it is a question of whether the Federal Government and Parliament can be trusted to resist the pressures of four provin- ces for power which they should

be, a partisan question, and it is to be hoped our legislators will not fall into the mistake of making it one.

Taking No Chances

One thing they’re making sure of at Washington is that Lyndon “B. Johnson will be the best pro- tected President in modern history on his Inauguration Day this Wed- nesday.. That much is agreed to by all concerned with the ceremonies, though the Secret Service security screen is so dense that only some of the details have leaked through. ~ This concern is understandable. The Warren commission of inquiry into the assassination of President Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963 was strongly criticab.of the failure to ‘make an advance inspection of buildings along the motorcade route | in Dallas. Its report also quoted a recommendation of FBI director, Edgar Hoover, that bulletproof

Heat Camera | For Diagnosis

By Dr. Theedore R. Van Delies The thermograph is a relative-

ly new heat camera, used # dia-

gnose cancer and a variety of circulatory disorders. The skin is warmer when the circulation is good and colder when the flow of blood is reduced. Tumors also emit heat and malignant lesions | are warmer than benign grow- | ths. v

The apparatus is a sensitive | heat detector combined with modern optical ‘and electronic equipment. It contains a camera that transforms into visible light |

the invisible infra-red energy | “ ‘| rays given off from the surface |

of the body. Recordings are made on an ordinary Polariod black and white film. The end result is a heat map of the pa-| tient. It is a sophisticated tech- nique for measuring surface | temperature. j

The carotid artery in the neck |

divides into two branches just

below the ear. One branch | in-

ternal) penetrates the skull and |

brings blood to the brain. The other (external) goes to» the temples and forehead.

The temperature of the skin

is the same on both sides of the |

forehead of healthy persons. If

the flow of blood to this area is blocked by an obstruction in the common and internal! carotid ar- | tery, the skin is cool on that side. The sensitive thermogra- | ph @etects the difference. The

developed film (thermogram) |

reveals a pattern resembling a | dark smudge over the eye and root of the nose on the involved side.

The apparatus is a new tool to

help diagnose stroke and to lo-

cate the site where the circula- tion is blocked. This is impor. | tant because it now is possibile

to by-pass with a graft an occlu- ded accessible artery. To avoid

misunderstanding, we must

make it clear that other diagno-

stic methods are available for

Tomorrow’s Another Day

Hamilton

A story from Ottawa late last week was as top-heavy with pessimism as any we've seen in a long time. It told of young Canadians from every walk of life showing such discourage- ment with federal politics that

it was feared that few if any of |

them would ever want to enter public life. .

The cure for what ails them is a bit of growing up. Young peo- ple have pretty well always had nothing but harsh words to say

for the best laid plans of their |

elders. university students in particular are noted for their disenchantment with political life as they see it through lime- eolored glasses of inexperience.

It.is q true that Ottawa, “circa: 1 , is enough to make even the, cockeyed “South Pacifie’’ fame turn cyn- ical overnight. But for that to happen, the optimist would have to be devoid of any historical sense. His confines wotlld have
