While it is too early to suggest

what is likely to happen in the wake of last week's election. there are certain clear in- fcrcttces to be drawn from the de- feat of Sit" .Iohn I(otelawala'S 80V' crnmcnl and its replacement by the People's l'nitcd Front trcmc leftist. Solomon Ban.tranaiki. The new llrinte Kiinistcr may not be an avowed t'ommttnist. but he cer- tainly is the next thing to it, and he liars matte no secret of his inten-

necessary to ortler troops into tltc troubled area for protection of Ain- erican interests.

All this. of course. is prc-election strategy-building in the gratul style. For obvious reasons neither the Re- publican administration nor th e Democratic-controlled Senate wants to be held responsible for any kind of war. big or small, that might pos- sibly develop from the Middle East situation. On the other hand. neither side it ants to give the other too much credit for keeping the nation out of war, if that is the way events turn out. The fact of the matter is- and everybody knows it-the.Presi- dent of the l'nited States, as Com- mander-in-Chief of the Armed For- ces, has the constitutional right, and indeed the responsibility, of sending

i these forces iitto action at any time and at any place in his discretion. al- though the Senate is the only auth- ority that can authorize at formal declaration of war. There is not the slightest doubt that Mr. Eisenhower would exercise that right if in the

opinion of his military advisers mili- tary action in the Middle East be- came necessary. Later he might ask the Senate for a declaration of war, or he might not. The entire Korean campaign, it will be recalled. was fought ”informally" and was never referred to as ”war" in any official statement.

Good Place To Start

The ”Private Eye" TV, to enable the Postmaster-Gencral's Depart- ment to do a bit of experimental snooping on postal officials at Peter- borough, Ontario, is going to cost Canadian taxpayers f530,092. The Governmcntls interest in seeking to check up on loafing in official circles is commendable. The question is vvby p 0 st 21 l officials in Petcrborough should have been singled out for such attention. (Ilimtccs are that TV cameras installed in offices of higher echelons of public service at Ottawa would produce much more reward- ing results.

"A good place to start. if ('.ovcrn- mom is sincerely interested in flitti- lng out whether public servants are earning their salat'ies." suggests the Letter Review, ”might be the House of Commons in Ottawa. TV cam- eras focusscd on empty seats in the House, which has difficulty in round- ing up even ('ol'poral's guard of MP5 except at midwcck, would be reveal- ing. particularly it carried over CBC television network.

"The fact is that those shirking their parliamentary duties. known in Press Gallery circles as the Thurs- day-to-Tuesday Brigadc.' because of -f their habit of quitting the House on

' Thursday and not returning until ' the following Tuesday. merit the eomment of one eminent authority on parliamentary practice, Professor Norman Ward, who says that ta

Fines By instalments

the Nova Scotia Legislatttrc has introduced a bill which, it enacted into law. would allow court fines to be paid on the instalment plan in cases where of- fenders lack the ready cash to meet the requirements of th e court. There may be legal obstacles in the way of such an arrangement which would prevent its being brought into use. But, looking at it. from the standpoint. of common fairness. it would seem to be an appropriate innovation and one which might be introduced in other provinces with- out doing any great harm to judicial processes.

The fact is that. under present regulations. persons often go to jail not because they have broken the law but simply because they are short of ready money. This, obvious- ly is di.s,criniination, whatever the law books may call it. Undoubtedly, most magistrates are aware of this inequity, but under present statutes tltcy are powerless to do anything about it. If ”Slll or .'ltl days" is the law. so it must be. Perhaps the in- stalment pltin wottld. as some claim, do nothing to make offences against law attd order less frequent. It might even make them more so. It is a de- batable point. But. surely, it would help to pttt the rich and the poor on a morc equal footing before the ntajcsty of the law: and that, too, must llP of some importance.

EDlTORlAL NOTES

Modern hospital requirements have grown tremendously in recent years and the maintenance problem has become one of major concern. Attention is called to Nir. Robert L. (Totton's letter on this subject in which the problem is discussed from many pertinent angles.

Mr. J. Angus Maciman made a strong speech in support of Maritime fiscal requirements in the Ilouse of Commons on Thursday. In calling for a complete realignment of taxing powers between federal and provin- cial governments. he pointed out the many disadvantages under which we labour. and urged that, as a matter of right, the Maritimes should participate in the new wealth now being derived from Canada's Northern Lands. Speeches of this kind should be made more often in Parliament. It is what we send our members there for. The fact that they are outnumbered by spokesmen from other parts of Canada is all the more reason why they should make not an d Ictvopommltin.

HOW ONE'S THOUGHTS WILL WANDER

PUBLIC FORUM L

lI()Sl'l'I'AI. IVIAINTENANCE PRO BLICMS

Sir,-The bllclllcss of operating the nation's hospitals l)et'omes in- creaaingly difficult. Except for I few who volunteer to serve on Boards and Auxilaries. the rest of us know very little about the fin- ancial problem of maintaining a high type of service in our sick and injured.

if the most of us think about hos- pitals at all. it is usually when we or some member of the family suddenly becomes sick. and then despite the fine quality of the ser- vice, we are prone to be critical if we feel we have not had con- stant allenlion twenty-four hours I day. plus the services of a fully trained and integrated team of nurses, diagnosticians. surgeons, pathologists. roclenalogtsl, anathe- slsts. and highly trained technic- lam. In fact, we expect. somehow or other, that when we become sick. this fine trained team scientists and experts will be wil- ling and ready to spring into art- inn. for life. may hang precarimtsly and be saved by the availability of the latest and best in costly equipment. and in a whole well integrated team of trained and skilled hands.

There has been a tendency in re- cent years for many people to ex- pect by some divine rtgltl. In be taken care of in every emergency without any conscious effort their part. We are inclined to lean on 0lll' fellowman and to ex- pect more from others titan we have to offer ourselves. An unfort- unate situation is that lnstead of commending those who liave as-

0H.

t his betlrotun daily, he may require l as many as ten changes. ltt fact,

sttmed community leadership for 1

maintenance and support of our institutions, we are much more in- clined to be critical.

Our hospitals came into being through the benefit-em-e of many warm hearted people who had ll sincere interest in the well being of their fellow man. liospitals form a part of our great tradition of brotherhood and a sense of re- sponsibility for our ttcigltbors, Vul- unlary non-profit hospitals have never paid a dividend in cash to anyone. btit their dividends in re- lief of suffering. and protection and maintenance of ltcalih, have been trtily ntatznificent

Little can we realize or aw)rcr- late the vast differences I):-twecn the early hospltzils attd the mod- ern institution. Our early hospit- als were little more titan nur-uni homes. Tltcy did not have anv

costly equipment for none was in . The very early mics '

existence were used more as a place to scL'- regale the sick from the well, and more particularly for the in;n'y

contagious amt infct-linus disczists. ,

The difference between tltc mod- crn hospital and the early one, might he described as the dttlcr- once belwccn comfort and tlutct efficiency in the one and some- times great suffering and misery in the other. Littlc enn we realize or appreciate what the great lllS- cnverics nf medical sticnce in the past fifty years llilvo done. not only to increase the atcrmze than of life bill in make life much more pleasant and acrcealilc

In fact. in the constant battle against sickness and disease there has been more protons: in the runs! fifty years than in all the Dl'l'lltIIN long history of man. Altltviuch most nf us have cotnc to Iakc the modern hospital for granted. when we slnp to think. it is the only place where the results of l'f's'1'.'ll'('I1 findings and the highly lctlvvical scientific apparatus of flIPfil('lflF is fully availnblc. ll nttr should suddenly close tip our plight would be and indeed.

Because there as such a vast amount of research being done to extend life and make it more agreeable. the cost of care be- comes increasingly expensive and the expensive apparatus necr-as. ary in I hospital. difficult to fin- ance. No hospital it it has in kccp pace with progress can remain static. What was considered up to date and adequate a tow ynara no may already have become ob- solete. In addition to the expen- sive equipment. there are also no entry changes in functional de- sign. Many type: of airlines: which plagued the human race formerly are now extinct or only a vesiigc romnlm. The circus is now on out- or type! and the II'VlclI IIIIIII lflilb

ltusuitals '

As a modern liospttal is a lnglily scientific institution, ll to-quires specially lrziitted teclnitrtans. who because of cxpcricncc. trutiiing and organization demand higher renuineration. A dccreasitn: amount of space is used for linspital beds and rooms. and in many hospitals the amount of space required for special service departments in gl'e.'.ilei' titan the amount of space used by bad patients. This is I recent development. To install I modern x-ray department alone with facilities for diagnosis and. tlicrapy. requires a large space. and with equipment, costs in ex- cess of 5i250,0tJ0.

Unless the patient has Iome special knowledge of what it colts in education and training to pro- duce a real team to serve him in every type of sickness. and has some idea of the expensive equip- ment at his disposal plus the fact that he may require some very expensive drugs. he is prone to complain that he is being over- charged.

it is Common for many people to make comparisons between the cost of their visit to a hotel and their stay in the hospital. Apart from the expensive equipment and the highly trained specialists re- quired for his service in the hou- pttnl, must of his meals are ser- vcd lo lntn in bed. He is tint re- quired to tip the attendants. and instead of one change of linen in

('OmI)ill('(i with the many special services immediately available to ltim. hc has to be constantly sup- ervised and will have some one .'ivailaliIc every time he believes he needs attention.

Th average ratio of hotel per- sonnel to guests is six to one, while the average personnel per hospital patient is one and a half, to one Straitgc as it may seem. the price paid for the hotel room.-- plus the extra amount paid for three meals a tiny in a hotel with film tips added, is about the same as the avetuagc patient pays for Ilil stay in a liospilul bed.

This might suggest that the ho- tcl must make a profit to remain in litmiiess, while the hospital must stay in business whether or not it meets current operating costs The capital cost of outlay of the hotel is invested money on Willtlt stiiist-t'ilicr.s jttslifialily cx- port it (lititltud.

and spur of

fellowman. Possibly the reason why we are more inclined to be critical concerning the hospital bill in that we did not want to be there in the first place. We enjoy the hotel because we wanted to be there as a place for relaxation and pleasure.

Many of us, if we lhiiik about hospitals at all, are inclined to think that they are place: for our friends and neighbors but not for ul. The truth is that one out of every eight of our people spent some time in I hospital last year and any of us who may go through life without the services of a hos- pital. must be considered extrem- ely fortunate and healthy. The great majority of us today are brought into illil world in a hos- pital and. with the exception of accidental death; or sudden seiz- ures. deparl this world from a hos- pital bed.

The problem therefore of main- taining adequate efficient hospital service is cverybody's problem. and the cost must neccessarlly be borne by all of us in proportion to our abilities to contribute eith- er directly or indirectly. if our free voluntary institutions are to survive, we will require in general, enlightened interest not only in the work they are doing and in how they are financed. but also A re- ncwcd sense of responsibility for their support.

At Gander, Niici.

By Gerald Frcenian, ('auadinn Press Staff, Gander, Nfld.

An air-borne cross-section of the l western world comes streaming past. tables in the intcrituticnal air terminal here where curious folk- usually delayed travellers them- selves - sit. to drink coffee and gape.

To the left is the doorway where Europeans file past customs offi- cers on tlteir first arrival in Can- ada, anti tltrouglt which Canadians pass on the last leg of their air journey to liuropc.

To the right is the internation- ally famous big dipper bar. where the legal conibination of beaming passes. return tickets and change can produce concoctions that re- act admirably on the airworn nerves of travellers. Beside it is a restaurant.

.

A BUSY SPOT

And past the tables the people i go, p ' , often at counters along t the way to send telegrams. buy souvenirs and check with airlines l representative: or the transport l department. i

The coffee drinkers. served by I canteen in the centre of the big stark terminal, reflect on the hu- man race. I

They watch international beau- F fies wearing sunglasses no people l will think they're travelling incog- . nito. Or slightly bewildered immi- 1 grants sending off their first port l cards from the new world. Or mother: from a dozen nation: riding hard on their young.

Young men who appear to be students wander about nervously in leather topcoats with cameras suspended from their necks. Partly busineumcn with lime unexpect- edly on their hands try to look businesslike. Diplomats lounge about in dark suits.

Everyone looks a little uneasy.

"After a year they all look alike," lays a department of trans- port agent who gazes otil on the passing crowd from his stall eight hours I day.

PRINCESS AND GUARDS

An eastern princess is said to have provided one of the most splendid displays ever seen at Gander. A guard of warriors. com- plete with ceremonial spcurs, es- corted the veiled young lady from the plane.

A man who saw it says they marched through the terminal to the dining roum. ale. and pro- ceeded back toward the plane, the princess between the ranks of warriors. She whispered 1 word to the leader and the troops marched to A certain door. They halted, formed up on either side of the door and the princess passed within.

They barred all admittance tin- lil she reappeared. Then she marched back to her plane be- tween her protectors.

lllnst dignitaries, however. in- cluding Prime Minlstcr Eden and President (ironchi of Italy most recently. remain on their plane during rt-fuelling stopovers at Gan- dcr.

Gander lives up to its title of "crossroads of the world." as- pccially in summer months when as many as 400 plane: a week land on the 10,000-foot runways. At the peak an airliner arrives on the average of every 20 minutes during the day and night. A top week sees 20,000 passengers rcp- rcsenling every major Canadian, American and European city pass- ing through Gander terminal.

150 PLANI-ZS A WEEK

A rough your-round average for arrlvnls would be l50 planes a week, N-odd a day. But during a i foggy spell in January only one plane landed in a whole week.

Passengers held nvcr at Gander by weather or other reasons find rooms at the Jupiter or Saturn hotels. Like the terminal the hotel: were built hastily when Gander was opened as an RCAF base dur- lng the Second World War, and are due to be replaced sometime soon.

Gander airport was opened for civilian aviation under the trans- port department after the war. The flying trade now supports it com- munity of nearly 5,000, the first town In Canada to be born of the air age.
