“A Noble Example

It is perhaps a judgment on our age that Dr. Albert Schweitzer out- lived his fame, or at least his useful- ness, in the eves of modern African leaders ana medical scientists. He had become, they said, “an old myth, an anachronism in the modern Africa.’ He was criticized for neglect- ing sanitary measures, for “pater- nalistic condescension” toward the na-

tives. for impatience with the advice °|

of experts and even for practicing’ | “colonialism”.

*- Perhaps Dr. Schweitzer, who died”

Saturday night in his jungle hospital in- Gabon, had fallen behind the times. At 90, it would not be sur- prising; and perhaps he was. always a little ‘“pig-headed,” as the saying goes. But a glance at his achieve- ments in’ many fields, and_particu- larly that of human welfare, is enough to show what the world has gained by his extraordinary example.

--A native of Alsace, he was born a German but became a Frenchman when Alsace was returned to France after the First World War. His father was a Lutheran minister who insisted on sharing his church with people of other faiths—a rare thing in: those flays. At 24 he was a doctor of philos-

-ophy—and—six--years.later—was—prin-—

cipal of the theological faculty and professor of religious philosophy at

. Strassburg. He was also one of the

world’s great interpreters of Bach’s organ music when he renounced his brilliant career to study medicine and become-a_volunteer- medical mission-— ary for the French West African col- ony of Gabon. There he chose to live for the remainder of his long life. He and his wife arrived in 1913 i with 70 cases of medicine and started a hospital which since has cared for 60.000 persons, performing as many as a thousand operations each year.

‘At first it was a grim fight for sur- '

oe against ignorance and witc h- craft: Then, in the First World War, , “they were interned in France as enemy ‘aliens, and when they came back in 1924, they found their hos- pital -had- been eaten by white ants.

1A famine was followed by a dysentery epidemic, but Schweitzer fdught both starvation and disease, rebuilding his hospital on a better site. To get money for his work, he visited Europe periodically giving lectures and concerts. The $22,000 Nobel Peace Prize award he received in -1952 was devoted to building a permanent. home for his leprosy patients.

Asked once to-put his basic philosophy into a phrase, Dr. Schweit- zer replied that he preferred to call it “reverence for life.” “Ethics is pity,” was another of ‘his sayings. “All life is suffering. 1 am here to cure, not to preach or. civilize.” . He was quoted as saying, too, that “the

-only-way-out-of today's-misery is -for~ ‘people to become worthy of each other’s trust.” He made all his pre- cepts simple, for he believed in liv- ing them to the letter.

If we cannot recognize in this man one of the towering figures of our century, then we are in a | bad way indeed.

All Up To Him!

An Ottawa commentator in the Financial Post has an answer to a question that is puzzlmg many of his colleagues, and a lot-of other people, at this time. ‘Who stands to gain

most of all from an early federal:

general election?’ Why, it’s easy when you come-to think of it, says the Post. scribe. John Diefenbaker, of course!

And who could stop this unwant- ed campaign before it gets off the launching pad? John Diefenbaker again, by announcing his intention to retire and calling for a Conservative

leadership convention, he could put |

, an immediate election “right out of

The Guardian

court,” he could! The Liberal strate- gists, it is argued, would not dare to risk calling one after the new Tory leader was chosen for fear they might be accused of playing ‘dirty political pool.”’ As if they hadn't been accused of a lot worse things than that! But anyway, this authority has it figured that Dief, with his rasping sense of humor, is indulging in gleeful inward chuckles over the way the game is going. An election now could provide him with an even better joke on his opponents*of ‘both political. stripes. _ How come? Well: it’s~this way, says our Post authority. [f his party should lose badly, this would not: greatly alter Dief's prospects in the leadership, since time is running-out on him amyway. If the Conservatives should make notable gains, this would vindicate him and confirm him in the leadership for as long as he chooses. __

Further;-the-old—trooper-“may |;

Still prove to be the greatest cam- paign artist in the country.” He fig- ures he has a lot-of things going for him in any election he can fight on the issue of ‘One Canada” combined with Liberal scandals. ,

There are mixed’ feelings about this, of course, baker wing of his party. Without be- ing “in any way disloyal to théir party,” says the Post man, these people hope an election would result in a quick change in their leadership —but fear it might not. But the pro- Diefenbaker wing (it's still a wing, it seems, and not just a corporal’s guard as we've been told by other commentators) has more than a sneaking feeling that the Old Chief might bring out a political_miracle, once again.

So the real issue, if it comes to a head, is not thé record of the gov- ernment in office, their hits, runs and errors, but the doings of that man Diefenbaker. He keeps hogging the limelight, eating, drinking and breath- ing campaign fire—driving the people into an election they don’t want and reducing poor Mr. Pearson to babblings on the subject which nobody can make head or tail of.

“At Dief’s age, too, when-he was

The Chiangs Again Mme. Chiang Kai-shek is back in the United States on an unofficial

visit. As usual, she has a lot of ad- }-vice-that- Washington can do without. ||

She says the United States should bomb Red China’s atomic installa- tions before they can be used to pro-' duce weapons.

For more than 15 years Mme. Chiang’s. husband has been getting ready to invade mainland China to drive out the Communists, who drove him to offshore Formosa in 1949. He

. hasn’t moved, for the reason that he isn't.strong.enough. And -he-wouldn’t—

be there at all if it wasn’t for American aid that has buttressed his puppet regime. He’s been breathing vengeance all these years, and stir- ring up as much trouble-as he can. Now Mme. Chiang wants to “un leash” the U.S. to start what could only end in a global war. As the Mil- waukee Journal observes, the Chiangs, husband and wife, have long played the “‘let’s you and him fight” game—with—Washington-—“The—least they could do,” it adds tartly, “is to have the courtesy not to play it in

our own country.” But wasn’t that

| what she came for, in the first place?

Couldn’t she have been told, in a nice way, of course, that even an un- official visit at this time was out of the question?

Gollstones; What To Do

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Eellen

The gallbladder is a sac that | concentrates and stores bile. When fatty foods are eaten, the organ contracts and squirts the digestant into the intestine. The structure is not absolutely essen- tial, considering the millions of healthy persons who have had the organ removed. The liver ~ continues to manufacture bile re- gardiess of whether the gall-_ bladder is in or out.

- Where does bile go when its | storehouse is eliminated? The duct that extends from the liver to the intestine enlarges to take

‘| over this function.

ht has been said that half of our population over age 40 evidence of gallbladder disease. Only a small percentage have attacks of mild indigestion and | the rest go through life without knowing the organ is abnormal unless gallbladder X-rays are | made:

Surgery is recommended when symptoms are. present. | Many surgeons believe gallblad- ders with stones should be re- moved, even when the’ organ is not causing distress... They do this because they know that the chance of having trouble within six years is good. Operation is easier and safer when the organ is in a quiet or noninflammatory stage. If removal is deferred un- til the individual is older, com- plications are more likely with each passing decade. But some
