A Fine Example In his introduction to Dr. Frank MacKinnon’s ic work, “The Gov- ernment of Professor R{ MacGregor Dawson not- es that despite our limited popula-
¢ion and occasional lapses from strict.
eonstitutional perfection, this Prov- ‘fmce has furiiished an ‘excellent. ex-
ample of the practical working out.
of the ideas of democratic govern- geent within the general traditions ‘ef the British people. This statement finds full justification im ‘the pro- ‘eeedings -.now under way for the ghange of government that the elec- tees voted for an Tuesday. __ A party long entrenched in power ‘fs stepping out and a new administr- ation is preparing to move-in with- eut a ripple of unrest or public eon- eern, beyond speculation as to the personnel of the new cabinet which ‘the Premier-elect, Mr. Shaw, will ghoose. The outgoing Premier, Mr. ‘Matheson, is doing everything to ex- pedite the change-over which he says will be within two weeks at the most. Im the meantime; he is attending. ne efficial functions or conferences, feaving a elear field to his successor fm the matter of commitments. Mr. Shaw has indicated that he will a- wait Liberal convenience in this mat- ter, nor will he give any hint of eabinet appointments until power has
heen transferred. The two men have |
been im conference, working out the best interim course for the Province.
We need not labour the eontrast |
here with the situation that would prevail in a totalitarian eountry after _@ political upset, or the revolution- ary purges that would be involved. But even among democracies, this very amicable. and speedy transi- tion is noteworthy. Certainly & is as good an example of “the practical _ working out of the ideas of demoe- " patie government” as the British
Commonwealth affords.
_ Aa te the setup of the new admin- fetration, Mr. Shaw will if anything be embarrassed by the tiumber of qualified aspirants for office—far-
mers, merchants, lawyers, doctors .
and other capable citizens; none, tt és true, with portfolio experience but many of them veterans of the
~ Legielature and others with outstand-
mg service in: municipal affairs. There will be. no excuse, certainly, for putting square pegs in round holes, or for giving the Province anything but the best im cabinet appointments for each department. ' Some fumbling, of course, there may be at the start. Even the best men cannot work together at top efficiency without practice in their _ new jobs. Ball players are allowed a practice period before every game,
. and the most seasoned pitchers have
te “loosen up” with a few trial balls ever the plate before a new innings. The public makes allowance in such matters, and the,same rule of sports- manship should prevail in polities. Boon, however, the new administra-
tion may: expect to be*judged on its - - merits, and it will thten have no ex-—
euse for amateurish play. THat time
will have arrivedjn good earnest
when it faces the Legislature next - session.
In the meantime, let us be thank-
‘ful that we are living in a country of
' this kinds and in a province -with
such traditions, where momentous political change can take place so amoothly, and with such little distrub- ance to our peaceful way -of life.
_A Nosey Census There is a. general feeling that the bureaucrats have gone a little too far in the plans announced at Ottawa for the taking of the 1961
“general -census. There was a when a census was concerned large- ly with how many people the coun- try had, where they lived, how old they were, and what their racial or-
z igins were. Nobody had strenuous
objections to answering questions of iefenbak-

With the undoubted approval of Nehru, Chagia told the National Press Olub in Washington: “China will be making a terrible mistake if she thinks that be- cause we are pledged ‘to peace,- we will not fight in defence of our country.”

Only’ 40 years ago the patient had two choices — a harsh, life- time diet, or death. Sometimes there was no choice at all.
Today the diabetic has insulin to keep the disease im check. And now there are. new pills— orinase, diabinase and DBI— prescribed to control diabetes and keep sugar levels down.
Also there are hihgly sensitive tests to seek out persons who ate susceptible to diabetes, but as yet show none of- the overt signs. FIND HIDDEN TRACES Z
“Drs. Stefan S. Fajans and Jer- ome W. Coon of the University of Michigan, using these tests, have found hidden diabetes in young people. They are able to head off symptorfis of the disease by treat- ing with the oral drug orinase.
To understand what these new techniques really mean, let's look -hack at the history and cause of diabetes.
It was first noted and treated by the Egyptians 3,500 years ago —with success. It was a killer but it could be recognized by its symptoms only.
Its victims: were plagued by m- satiable thirst. They lost weight. Above all they were always tired. Some developed blurry vision, boils or itching skin. REMOVED GLAND
But what caused these strange symptoms was a mystery. The first real hints came in the late 1800s when medical researchérs found that removal of a small giand called the pancreas from abdomen of dogs caused diabetes-like er .s pan- creas produces dig e juices.
Then an American doctor found that in diabetics a, part of the pancreas called the isi ot

In the main: the big weapon was diet. Starches and sugars were kept from the patient's meals. Fats and proteins took their place. Finally doctors began to realize they had to keep down the sugar level of the blood.

By the next summer they had isolated insulin and tried & on diabetic dogs with success. In 1992 the first human patient was treated with imsulin, with euc- cess.
Insulin therapy has improved through the years. Many of to- day's diabetics are star athletes. politicians, leading businessmen and scientists, filling many de- manding positions despite their
handicap. But the discovery of insulin was far from a full solution.
There were dangem te insulin therapy. Diet, in some cases, was still required, .

German scientists a few years later developed a similar drug. Both seemed to lower blood su- gar levels. But significantly they didn’t work in animals from which the pancreas had been re- moved.

“As you’ would expect,: the pos- sibility of orphanhood rises rapid- ly with the age of the father at the time the’ child is born. It rises less rapidly with the age of the |. mother. : : CHANCES LESSENED
When the father is 40 vears old at the birth of the child, the chances of the youngster becom- ing an orphan are 146 in 1,000. In 1990, the chances were 197 out of 1,000 .
A youngster is considerably less ‘likely to be orphaned by the pre- mature death of the mother. If the mother is only 20. when the child is born, the chances are a mere 15 out of 1.000 that she will die before the child is 18. Half a century ago the chances were 97 out of 1,000. 4 g

As Shakespeare ~
Montreal Gazette
Calvin Hoffman is at Kt again. The American critic who holds that Christopher Marlow. wrote the plays so long. attributed to Shakespeare has now come for-
ward with “néW textual and do |
cumentary evidence.”
The evidence. turns out to be the Dedication of the completed poem of “Hero and Leander”, which, according to Hoffman, fur nishes proof conclusive that Mar- low—disguised, of course, ‘under the name of George Chapman., poet and, dramatist—was very much alive a full five years .af- ter his supposed murder in a Deptford tavern brawl. It is un- necessary to-add that he was busily writing the plays and that this patron Walsingham was pay- ing Shakespeare to “father” them. ‘
The curious proliferation , of pseudoscholarly heresies, all bent en providing a supposed “real” Shakespeare, is almost exclysi- vely a product of the last 100 years.. The oddest thing about these aberrations is, that they have grown up alongside a mangi- ficent body of genuine Shakespea- Tean studies, which have gather- ed a solid fund of information about Shakespeare—more,,in fact than we possess about Test of
