i

cotiliiiniiig rcseai'Cli able doubt. Cotisequeiitly. as might have been expected. there is a. grow'- ing demand for dairy products low in fat content, a demand which will have to be met regardless of its ef- fect on the agricultural economy. All this, of course, means that the entire conception of dairying will have to be revised to meet the new requirements. Just what temporary effect it will have on farmers' in- comes remains to be seen; but the immediate task confronting the dairy industry, in co-operation with gov- ernment which sets the standards for dairy products, is to bring the new pattern into use with the mini- mum degree of economic dislocation. One thing is clear, and there is nothing to be gained by trying to -pass it over as being of no great im- portance: it has been established that too much animal fat can be injurious to the health. whether it appears in butter, milk, cheese, ice cream or anything else. Whatever is done from now on will have to be done on the basis of that so ntific fact. Adjustment from the old pattern to the. new will come about in time, and the sooner the better. While it is being carried forward, dairy farm- ers will need and deserve the expert counsel of technical agencies, public understanding of their problems and perhaps a measure of financial sup- port in the way of additional govern- -ment. subsidies to help meet the im- pact of the transition.

The Tragedy

In one of his recent political jpeeches President Eisenhower dwelt Viat length on the situation in Poland. 'He praised the Poles for their ”his-

toric love of freedom". He promised ethem the "moral support" of all .gAnn-ricans, and, if they should do- sire it, economic aid ”in due course". Perhaps it was a coincidence that the speech was delivered in a city where tthere is a sizable American-Polish vote. and perhaps it was not. in any event. all these protestations of atl- rmiration and praise must seem very 'h0llow indeed to the Poles, and par- ticularly to the Hungarians who are being shot down in the streets of their home towns by their Sovict oppressors. As for "moral support", it might help to case the troubled consciences of those who offer it, but or the brave defenders of the right -to be free it is the least sustaining thing imaginable. It is their tragedy Chat not one admirer of their love of freedom in the United States -vr elsewhere will or can lift a finger to help them. They are well aware of that; so are President Eisenhower, .Mr. Adlai Stevenson, Sir Anthony Eden, Mr. St. Laurent and all the others who praise their heroism from )far Off. 9 Blame the mistaken diplomacy of e Western world immediately after 3he Second World War, a mistake ' hlch allowed the Russians to en- ave mllllonaof human beings in ny states; blame the inability of

support. That is the tragedy of the Poles and the Hungarians at this hour-and perhaps of the East Gen- mans and Czechs tomorrow.

Nova Scotia Election

There will be widespread interest in the results of today's provincial election in Nova Scotia. While the odds are in favour of the return of the Liberal government led by Pre- micr Hicks, the Conservative leader, Mr. Stanfield, has been making I. vigorous campaign and the possibility of 'a deadlock. or even of a Conser- tative victory, is by no means to be discounted. The (Ionservatives held tliirtecn seats in the old 37-seat

' lioilsc, against 19 Liberal seats at r

the time the election was called. The held two, and three form.-r Lll)0l'al seats were vacant. The new Legislature will have six mow St'&il5. . Both the major parties have con- (incl-wl a vigorous campaign, the chief i.-1-ucs being expenditures on litgliwuys, health insurance and in- dn-trial dcvelopmcnt. Mr. Stanfield has promised to sponsor a S10,00(l,-

L lino industrial development organiza-

confirmed this view beyond reason- i

tion, but Premier llicks maintains that the government has done much more than this air:-atl,v. He estimates the total invested in manufacturing in Nova Scotia this year at Si43,000,- 0(t0. The contestants appear to be more evenly divided than they have been in other Provinces where elec- lions were held this year, and in which the results, in each case, fav- ored the party in power.

EDITORIAL NOTES

It it be true. as news reports say, that some Soviet tanks went over to the side of the Hungarians in the fighting in Budapest. it is the most encouraging bit of news the world has heard in many a day. It would indicate that even within the Soviet fortress itself the cry of freedom is being taken up.

Premier Hicks says that living standards on Nova Scotia's farms are getting better all the time thanks to his government's enlight- ened policies. Opposition leader Stan- field, on the other hand, claims that the farmers are having a struggle to survive. This is the sort of thing the Republicans and Democrats are quarclling about in the U. S. A. The truth, in both instances, is probably to be found somewhere between the two extremes.

The Russians claim to have in- ve-ntcd almost everything of value and a lot of things of no account. But. according to the findings of a research team, they did not invent vodka which, it turns out, was known in Peru for centuries before it be- came known as a Russian drink. Some will say that this report is the nicest thing that was ever said about the Russians by any outsider.

An official of the United States Steel Corporation predicts that by the year 2056 planes will be travel- lint: at 10.000 miles per hour. That is interesting but not nearly as ex- citing as another prediction made by an official of a paper manufacturing

EARLY USES

The earliest ccrcmunlal maccl were intended to protect the KinK's person and were borne b.V "'3

myal bodygulrds established by .

Richard the First. Their first use in the House of Commons is un- known, but in the reigns of Ed- ward the Third and Richard the Second, Parliament complained at the growing employment of silver maccs by civic corporations which would indicate. if onlY h.V "'1' plication, that it was bccninlnl to consider the mace. or at least some particular type of mace. as peculiarly its own.

The first specific reference to the mace in Parliament occurred in the reign of Elizabeth and con- cerned Sir Thomas Garirmf. "'0 Speaker, who was depicted as de- pamng "with the other members of the House of Commons to their own House, the Sergeant of the same carrying the mace all the way before the said Speaker, which was in like sort before him until his returi from the Upper House, being presented to the Queeu and allowed off" Nothing more is heard of the mace until i653 when Cromwell described it as a ”bauhle" in his famous and dramatic speech dissolving the Long Parliament. With the Restoration in 1660. the mace once more took its place as part of the paraphernalia of the head of state, and it was widely used to bestow favour on clvlc cor- porations.

KING'S PR!-IROGATIVE

it is not altogether improbable to surmise that the association of the mace with the Speaker was a derivative of the King's ancient practice of convening and presiding over his own assem- blages. When the King gave up thy practice. in order to show 1!: 1 his representative was acting as his behalf. he was preceded lyy n Sergeant-If-Arms bearing I royal mace in the same manner as tho bodyguards of Richard the First. Thus the mace became the badge of the 8peakers' office and consequently the symbol of his authority. As Parliament Increas-

THREE DIFFERENT MACES Until after Confederation there were three different maces in Canada. in 1791 Governor Simcoe acquired the one used in the first Assembly of Upper Canada which met at Niagara. The seat of government was subsequently transferred to York, now Toronto, where the mace was captured by invading Americans during the War of 1812. Very little is known of the second mace used in Upper Canada from ltlll to the union of the Canadas in mi. There is no record of where it came from or whither it went. After the union. Sir Allan MacNab. the Speaker, recommended the pur- chase of a new mace and this was obtained in i845. It was almost lost in the Montreal riots of 1849 but was recovered and restored to use in Toronto and Quebec before being taken to Ottawa in 1866 for the new federal House of Commons. In I916 the Parliament buildings were destroyed by fire and all that could be found of the mace was a small ball of gold and silver COllKl0HlOI'IIz. Friends in England donated the present mace which was accepted and brought to Canada by Sir Robert Borden. it is obvious from the foregoing that the mace has undergone many vicissitudes in its transfor- mation from simple weapon to cherished treasure. Little more is known about this development than is contained here, yet ob- scurity has only lent greater at- fecl to its essential purpose - the embodiment of the dignity and authority of the Speaker of the House of Commons. Pmcfdurally. the mace always precedes the Speaker when on- tering and leaving the House. It '5 ('8"l9fl by I Sergeant-at-Arms but remains under the Speaker's control. when the Speaker takes his Chair the mace is laid across the table with the head pointing towards the Government benches. and it remains there as long a he presides.

WORKING CONDITIONS Sir, - Please allow me space

in your valuable paper to con- gratulate Mr. Donald Macbougall for his timely letter which ap- peared in your issue of Oct. 2411:. Brief though it was. it covered the field adequately and accurate- ly. I note that he was generous in his suggestion that at least twenty-five years behind the rest of Canada". I would place it nearer fifty years.

I agree wholeheartedly (gained from experience! that it is the lob of the working man to better his own conditions and it has always been a mystery to me why men and women will accept. the working conditions and wages which are offered them without an open protest of any kind. It is an insult to the dignity of any man to be offered such standards as we know exist on P1-1.1, today. Organization is their ariwer and the facilities for it are at their command. We have several suc- cessful local unions in the Prov- ince Plus an active and energetic Labor Council through which in- formstl... pertaining to labor may be obtained and assistance and advice given. Why do these "weak

and unprotected" people not take '

advantage of it?-

There Is a bugs will in labor legislation as Mr. Macnougall points out. The Labor Department. totthe best of my knowledge, is functioning as well as t' with the machinery with which it bu to work. The next session of the Legislature may bring about an improvement. At least, we hope so.

Ofllnlzed labor is not the ter- ocloua beast that many believe It to be. It's actions are not can- flned to matters dealing solely with or for it's membership.

While I can't actually help you with the,,lob. maybe I can give you a little advice that will snake the chore easier and - more im- portant - safer.

First, don't try to put. up storm windows when you come bonus from the office or factory at night. Wait until you have a dny off. You won't be so tired if you tack- le the job fresh in the morning hours.

Also, you'll probably approach the task with a much better men- tal attitude. Doing a job grudg- ingly is a good way of asking for an accident.

CALM DAY Be sure to choose I calm day

"emember. you'll be climbing a ladder lugging a prettty good-sized window. stifff wtnd might blow you and that ready-made slau right off the ladder and into I hospital.

It's always best, of course, to have someone help you. That way it": not so tiring to either of you and it's I lot safer.

if you have to replace a pane of glass in one of the windows. be lure to carry it correctly.

Grip the glass with one hand on the upper adse. the other on the bottom edge. Palms of your hands should be outwar'd so if the glass accidentally breaks, the pieces will fall outside your hands. CARRY A'l' SIDE.

And Car?! "35 Pane to your side, not directly in front of you.

Carrying a ladder also requires some common sense precautions.
