A Vital Problem

The traffic recommendations contained in the report of a coroner's jury published

in today's issue will, it is to be hoped, re- ceive very careful attention from the auth- orities. They are intended to apply genei'- ally, aiid it is evident that the jurors, head- ed by Mr. Earle Baker as foreman, have gone very thoroughly into the question. Among other things, they recommend leg- islation for the enforcement of semi-annual vehicle inspection and that consideration be given to establishing periodic! driving tests. More rigid enforcement of existing regulations, particularly with regard to driving under the influence of liquor, is urged, along with proposals for a further survey of dangerous intersections in the City.

.As frequently emphasized in these col- umns, the problem of highway safety has become one of outstanding importance in every Province, calling for a, thorough re- vision of oldtinie traffic rules with a view to cutting down the appalling toll in deaths and serious injury which we have experienced in recent years. It is not an easy problem to handle, but it is one which must be dealt with at any cost.

Sister Kenny

"llhc life of Sister Kenny which ended on Sunday was a saga of service and of the healing profession. It contains the ele- iiicnts of devotion to the relief of human suffering, conflict with established medical authority, persistence towards a goal and the overthrow of prejudice within the pro- fession.

Tlic profession of medicine deals with a far more important subject than pro- perly rights r mechanicaleinventions. Its practitioners -gannot allow quacks or cranks to viclimize and perhaps destroy human beings. Doctors require the highest. stand- ards of lcchnical training and of medical research. Treatments must be tested from any numbcignf points of view before they can he accepted an applied to the victims of sickness and disease.

This determined protection against folly, however, has its own drawbacks. Probably more often in fiction than in fact but.some- times at any rate, discoveries are prevent- ed from being put to use because the med- 'ical profession is not satisfied with their effectiveness or safety. Certainly anyone advocating a new and radical principle has an up-hill struggle to get it accepted, par- ticularly when the proponent has not the preliminary advantage of conventional ined- iczil ti'aiping and qualifications.

canathils Posltloii

Before leaving for the Commonwealth Conference in London, Prime Minister St. Laurent -told Parliament that Canada is not going to tell other nations how tc deal with their problems. His statement, says the Ottawa Citizen, may reassure those in Can- ada and overseas who have been expect- ing Ottawa to take a narrow, self-righteous attitude, advising the British to cut down their standard of living in order to boost their exports. Britain has not been living notoriously high since the' war. Its increase in productivity and exports has.been re- markablel Its troubles come mainly from the rise of the United States as the great

creditor nation, and from wartime economic losses, trade restrictions, jumps in the cost

of imports, the burdeiy of rearmameni. Deeper poverty, more unemployment, would be caused by drastic deflation. The British then would hardly become better workers, or better customers for Canada:

But Camila cannot afford to take an Indifferent or neutral attitude at London. The Progressive Conservative leader, Mr. Drew, and the CCF leader, Mr. Coldwell,

have both presented this point persuasively to Parliament. Canadals trade is now about 70 per cent with the United States, and 'less than 20 percent with Brltlln and the Commonwealth.

llova Scotia Pressing Too

The brief presented last week for im- proved ferry service between Wood Islands and Caribou is now being considered by the Canadian Maritime Commission, and if

able recommendation will be made. meantime, it is gratifying to note the sup- port which Nova Scotia papers are giving to the representations. Under the heading "A Vital Need", the Sydney Post-Record says Ottawa should be aware of the fact that this is the only ferry service linking Nova Scotia with Prince Edward Island and that it ”doesnt have boats enough to do the job.” It notes that to date this year 1,700 more vehicles have used the service than in the whole of 1951. "The situation," it says, "now is out of hand so far as meet- ing lraffic demand is concerned. Even though sufficient steel now were allowed to permit construction of a larger boat it would take a year and a half to build one. And that would fail to meet the emergency of the coming year. The only thing left to do is to buy a second hand boat either in Britain or the United States and there is reason to believe one can be had. What is preventing or delaying the purchase of such a craft? This is a question demand- ing an answer." C

The Truro News also devotes an ed- itorial to this subject, expressing the hope that last week's delegation to Ottawa viii achieve some concrete results. ”The Cari- bou-Wood Islands ferry is an important link between Central Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island,” it says, ”and as far as T-ruro is concerned is a broad avenue for tourist travel from the Island to this Province. . . . The F cderal Government should study the possibility of making it an all-year operation."

EDITORIAL NOIES

The wisdom of having passenger seals in aircraft facing the afterend was dem- onstrated rather strikingly -in a recent ac- cident involving an R.A.F. transport. The four crew members facing forward were injured while the nine passengers sitting backwards walked out of the (wreck, dazed but unhurt. l

The proposal at the Prince County Fish and Game Association meeting that shoot- ing licenses be qualified for has much to commend it. It might not be practical to examine all applicants, or even youthful ones, before issuing the license but if safety standards were laid down it would be pos- sible to revoke the license of anyone found

to bc unacquainlcd with them. a o 0 '

Too long have careful drivers subsidised the insurance of their accident-prone brethern. Now the Dominion Board of insurance Underwriters has taken a step tdwards giving them the benefit of their careful driving habits. Certain groups who have had no accidents in three years will next year qualify for a 20 per cent discount on their public liability and property dam-

age policies.

Paying For Peace

(Winnipeg Free Press)

Troubles attend the budget making of the United Nations. These troubles are of a differ- ent. order from those that mark- ed lhe closing year of the old League. Then the chief difficulty was with defauiters - members who did not pay.

The problem today concerns the division of the total budget a- mong the members. Expenditures of the U. N. in 1953 are estimat- ed at s47.'i65,200. This sum, it need scarcely be pointed out. is an ex- lremely' modest figure when com- pared with the current outlays in war. Th's country in the current fiscal year has voted 82,100 mill- ions for defence. Our annual share of the cost of the UN is 31,438,000. The U. S. defence vote exceds 360 billions. The free world must now be spending close to S100 billions per annum in a des- Derate effort, by achieving streng- th. to compel Russia to forego ag- gresson and a third world war. What Russia's current outlay in armaments are in terms of our dollar cannot be stated. since Communist Russia publishes no statistics but conceals all behind the iron curtain. But Russia is known to be armed to the teeth and is officially reported by the British Government to be "spend- ing a. greater proportion of its national income on preparations for war than any other nation. It is Communist Russia's past war acts of aggression and threats to extend them, that are the sole cause of the pfesent de- fence policies in the free world.

Yet the Russia that boasts of great .1. ' .i. and ,1; all Communal; gatherings, pleads penury at the United Nations. The United states has been carrying as much as 30.8 per cent of the total U.N. budget while Soviet Russia. and its puppets, thslUk- rnine and Byelorussla, have carri- ed as little as 7.7 per cent.

some years ago, the U.N. de- cided that no.ono member should be permitted to pay more than one third. Since then the us. share has been whittled down to 36.1 per cent and Russia and its puppets raised to 16.9 per cent. The final cur. to one third is now to come not inter than 1054. Burn- ly .the Soviets should-be prepared to pay the additional amount. Considering th use they make of the United Nnionl -- it being their main propaganda outlet - they should consider it cheap at my price.

some day, to ensure survival. Western society will have to take things in its own hands, curb ils faddists, go back to the germinal principles and values: that made it decide that the study of man, of his inescapable responsibility, of what he is that God has been mind- ful of him, of .what under moi-nl law is basic, and impose it as basic training. And it will have to do it promptly while moral values still have meaning to mature men and women. C

Human institutions must serve or be made to serve that indivislblc entity that is man. Man remains the measure of all things and. being that measure. he must, in his ow interests, remain the mess- urer o the institutions and social agencies that serve him. And indus- trial or technological Franken- stein, grown strong in licence and free to eat the moral heart out of a democratic society, would be iii- finitely more dangerous.

Old Treasu res

(Montreal (hzettr). As with persons, so it is with things. It is so easy to ridicule other people's possessions. Sonic people used to wonder why the great Cardinal Newman, in the Oratory at Brampton, used often to throw it very threadwcrn cloak over his bed as a. covering. Yet. even in his old age, it was there-'5 thing treasured. For him it was full of meaning. He had worn that cloak when A young man, in his travels in Sicily. In those days he .had made some of the deepest religious decisions of his life. And fir the middle of Sicily, while traveling alone, he had fallen ill 'of fever. In the long nights. when he had nearly died, he had drawn that cloak about him. To the end of his days it had symbolized to him the spiritual comfort. that had enfolded him when alone, and faced with death, as i1 stranger in a far land. Life is never to be underslobd by judging everything and everyone according to the rules of art, or taste. or beauty. or usefulness. It is easy to criticize; it is hard to understand. And perhaps there is .:i profound consolation in the thought that even the ugly and the thread- bare may be cherished and may add to life's significance.

MISSIONARY SOIREE

"A missionary solree in connec- tion with the St. Peter's Female Society was held in Miss Doug- lasls School Room: the place was tastefully decorated and fitted up for the occasion. Between 50 and 60 persons sat down to an elegant- ly furnished ten table, after which the table was cleared and the Rev. Robert Douglas delivered an ad- dress on the peculiar obligations of females to aid in the cause of Missions, as it is the gospel alone flint elevates them to their pro- pcr rank in society. The meeting was then addressed by the Rev. J. Gcddie, on the present motives to action in .flie cause of missions. An interesting ncccunt was read of the field of labour in the South Seas intended to be occupied by the Presbyterian Church of Nova Scotia. The service of the eve- ning concluded with a vote of lhnnks to the ladies under whose judicious superintendence every- thing was conducted."
