.\lcanwhilc. the-re icoiilti \t'(‘lYl to be no good reason why the I“edei‘al legislation should not be amended to make the plan operative. now that the majority of the Provinces have announced agrecnient in principle. As the 'I‘oronto Globe and Mail point- ed out in a recent issue, “the prac- tical effect of the stipulation as it now stands is that if any one Pro-

‘vincial Government has trouble in designing an insurance system or disagrees on any detail with the Federal Government. the Dominion cannot" carry out its completed agreements with the others. and the whole project is stopped in its tracks."

It takes time, of course, to work out the details of a national PTO- gram of this sort. But there isn‘t any point in putting unnecessary obstac- les in its way. Presumably, the stipulation to which we refer could he amnndpd or repealed without difficulty, no one in Parliament hav- ing indicated any opposition to such action.

Criminal Statistics

There is a notion abroad in the land that the majority of crimes are committed by persons of “foreign" origin. The probable rcason for this is that a crime committed by a new l_\ arrived immigrant or by some-

one with an “outl;tndisli" name is lll((‘l_\ in be given wider puhll<'l')' than one committed by a H&ill\'f‘ t‘anadiaii. In any e\ent, the notion is laist‘.

can take pride in having played an important role in many branches 0! the development. But many chal- lenges reniain. and the costs of re- search, as of all other scientific pro- jects. are increasing all the time. In emphasizing -and rightly so—the nteds of national defence. medical research must not be made to suf- fcr from lack of financial support. Indeed. it is one of the great defences of any nation.

Appeal For Safety

Added to the many appeals for safer driving on the highways is one from the Roman (‘atholic hierarchy of the l'nited States, released at illt‘ll‘ annual meeting in Washing- ton. l).t.‘. For the thoughtful con- sideration of our readers we are taking the liberty of quoting from the te.\i.

“(Iod has coniiiiaiided; thou shalt not kill. The conscience of mankind rightly e\tcnds this law to all actions \\lllt‘ll. without due rea-

soil. endanger the health and physi- cal integrity of any person. And yet. in our time. a singular blind spot has developed in the consciences of many people who air in all other matters law-abiding and conscientious. _\\'e refer to the careless and even rcck- less use of the automobile. I\lany who would never dream of handling a gun or a knife carelessly .\‘t‘t‘lll to lose all moral sense bchind the wheel of an automobilt.

“In many situations where death or injury occurs in automobile ac- cidents the driver is at fault. liis carelessness. neglect or reckless con- duct is a crime. From a moral and religious viewpoint. these actions are sinful. Each of us has an obligation to seek an enlightened and educated conscience. It is for this reason we urge. with the utmost seriousness. that every driver reflect upon the moral obligation he assumes.

"On the basis of both justice and (‘liristian love we appeal to our fel- low citizens to join in a crusade to keep our highways safe."

Sometimes they were worn as headdress by chiefs as emblems of power. Drumheads were made fiom buckskin. and drum sticks were covered with deer skin. Buckskin bags were made foi pipes and tobacco. Skin bone mar- row was used as hair oil. Strips of rawhide became netting in snow- shoes. Dried deer meat was boiled with bearfat to make an "appetiz- ing" broth.

TARII-‘I’-‘S DOL'Bl.E (‘OST

The average Canadian fiunily has paid no less than 31.000 in tariff duties on foreign goods dur- ing the past decade. he said. But -tariffs eat into our pay packets in another way too. A sum equ to. if not greater than. that $1.000 has also been paid out by the average family in the form of artificial hoists in prices by industries which have been able to jack up their selling figures unduly because of the “umbrel- la protection" which our tariffs provide for mom.

The establishment of a Canad- lan-Hritish free trade area would have five definite advantages. Mr. Zaplitny believes.

First. it would reduce our cost of living; second. it would enable ii; to sell moréto Britain: third.

Bubbles Conquer Winter Ice

Iiin-mg the past two Winters.| Canadian engineers have turnedi their skill in keepiniz open large areas of water in Winter. in a wide variety of circumstances. b_v using bub es of compressed air. The basic principle of this scheme is the coiiliniioiis circu- lation of warmer water from the boitom. up to the surface. its commercial use was orginally de- ieloped in Sweden. Since being hrnuglit to this country. the "t-oniprrsscti air-antifreeze" pro- ('(‘s‘\‘ has been sticccssfiilly em- plmed at widely separated points atross (anada.

thc siirfarc and in turn leave their heat content. This cycle

rcarhcs its maximum density. Then the picture changes. The surface water does not sink any l more as it cools off. because the density is now decreasing. Hence the water at the surface is cold- er than below tlf this were not the case. all ur lakes would be fro/en solid to the botloml. , since water hits its maximum. density a few degrees above the’ frecring point. the bottom water will hold a varying amount of heat during the Winter. depend- ing on the depth and the bottom‘! porosity.
