For A Better World

This is Junior Red Cross Week in Canada; and the occasion calls for a

salute to the young people in this | community and across the country |

who are active participants in the work of this great organization.

20,177 Prince Edward Island boys and girls are among the more than a million and a quarter youngsters who are. members of the Junior Red Cross in Canada. They are directed by a dedicated group of 40,000 teachers who serve as Red Cross volunteers and carry on a project that has been active in our schools for over 40 years.

Our children are joined by more | than 65 million other young people |

in the Junior Red Cross in 85 na- tions.-It-is the_world’s largest youth organization and is embraced by re: of many races, many

years as Canada’s emblem, except that in the fly there will be the crest of Ontario rather than the arms = _resenting Canada’s French and Brit- ish heritage. ~ Last December he announced that he would propose a flag for the province in the style of the Red En- sign but bearing on it the entire ‘ Ontario coat of arms, Besides a shield,

Ontario didn't feel it needed a pro- vincial flag while the Ensign was our national emblem. Now the situation has changed, and there is no reason why Premier Robarts and the citizens he represents shouldn't welcome his

Retaining The Color

In anticipation of the passing of

- | the bill to repeal the margarine ban

in this province, Agriculture Minis- ter MacRae is reported as planning the introduction of legislation this week which will provide regulations for the sale of the butter substitute. The regulations will cover moisture content, color and packaging.

The other provinces have various regulations in this regard. Some of them permit the sale of yellow color- ed margarine, others do not. We note

that in New Brunswick a bill has been |

introduced to allow for coloring, but on a basis that will make. misrepre- sentation impossible and insure that butter and margarine will be sold with an acceptable color on their own merits.

As explained by Agriculture Min- ister Adrien Levesque, “the tradi- tional yellow color range which has been used for butter, going back to the very beginning of the usage of butter, is being preserved, and right- ly so for this important and essential industry in the provincial economy.” The remainder of the yellow color range—between 16 degrees and

above 10.5 degrees on the yellow

color scale—has been allotted to mar-

Doubtless equal care will be taken in any legislation we embark on in this province, to insure that full pro- tection is given our butter producers in this important matter.

, ’ - Joey's Complaint

Premier Smallwood has hit out | with characteristic vigor at the high — cost of Canadian schoo! books—a problem, he says, which he has been grappling with for some time but has been unable to do anything about. School books now cost the Newfound- land government more than $1 mil- lion a-year; and will increase to near- ly $2 million by 1975.

The trouble, as-- Mr. Smallwood sees it, is that this business is in the hands of a few publishers “and the fancier the books they sell, the more they like it." They send round, he complains, “elegantly d ress e d per- sons, persons with the looks of lords and dukes, people like archbishops in mufti, wearing spats and corded vests and looking down their noses at their customers. They get off with their expensive order and then when it wills them, they change parts of the

text, the format or the layout, and | then they have a lot of new books to-

sell.”

His grievance has a familiar ring, | though we haven't heard it put in such strong terms before. Surely it should be possible for the Atlantic Provinces to get together on an of-

| Multiple Sclerosis

| By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen Approximately 500,000 Ameri- | cans have multiple sclerosis | Most victims are between 18 and 40 ears of age. Many are working because .symptoms are temporary and there may be long periods of freedom from the disease The cause is not known but many victims develop symp- | toms following a period of poor | health. fatigue, injury, illness | with fever, or pregnancy. The term multiple is used because many parts of the nervous sys- | tem are involved. The sheath of | the nerve is afflicted initially. | Ensuing symptoms are transient so long as the center fibers are | | able to transmit impulses. There is no recovery after the core is destroyed and replaced with scar tissue. This explains why symptoms come and go and ul- timately become permanent ex- | cept in some who do not have an attack for so long a time they are regarded as cured

there is no specific symptom or | sign that offers a clue. In addi- | tion, the disease differs from pa- tient to patient. What happens to one may not -happen to another. Some develop .periods of partial | | to complete paralysis of the legs | and arms or trunk. Others lack

,ing cost of trying to maintain | an adequate nuclear deterrent for Britain's future, Wilson has | maintained a policy of close cohesion with Washington.

In face of widespread critic- ism of US. policies, Wilson is Iso embarrassed to find the (feft wing of his Labor party threatening open revolt against the Vietnamese position of the ' Labor government

Wilson cannot ignore the voices on the left, especially when ‘such a conservative re- gime as that of French Presi- dent de Gaulle can find a posi: tion of compatibility with the Kremlin

| Nam—not the Communist north, WANTS RED WITHDRAWAL

The US. has stated that ne- gotiations are possible only in the context of over-all neutral- ization, after the Communists agree to withdraw from South , Viet Nam.

Undoubtedly Gromyko, who will arrive in London Tuesday, will press for agreement on the Geneva conference in talks with Wilson and Foreign Secretary Michael Stewart.

Wilson has been quietly seek- _ing some form of East-West ‘compromise and some way out of his own political dilemma. It is unlikely that he would want to yield to France the position of being the avenue of approach to Moscow.

Though it is unlikely that he

. would want to risk his close re-

lations with Washington, the critical nature of the issue sould indicate Wilson may be well persuaded to attempt to modify President Johnson's de- termination, possibly when Wil> son visits Washington April 15.

SHIRT STOPS BULLET

LONDON <AP)—A_ drip-dry undershirt weighing 16 pounds | and costing $170 to $280, depend- ing on your size. is available from a British company. Those figures may sound formidable, but the shirt has one big asset— it will stop a .45-calibre bullet, leaving the wearer with nothing more ‘than a bruise on the chest’.
