iwslwsslvn COMMENT

Commenting on Tuesday's election vaults, the Moncton Times says: “During the last three years the provinces o! British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, Ontario, New Brunswick, and lastly Prince Edward Island, have changed their admin- istrations from Conservative to Lib- srsl. Change of governments in these six provinces has not been due to any particular fault the peo- pla had to find with the administra- flgng, especially 1n the three Mari- time Provinces, but rather has the lesult been dueto the unrest and gwpnteni engende ed by the de- pression from which Canada, ‘ll’! common with the rut of the world, has suffered during the nest sir years. And while the Liberals are clsmorously relolclni. 10¢ it b! slid that tc ‘General Depression‘ must go tbs credit for the recent sweeping victories rather than to any achieve- ments oi the Liberal party in the past or what it maybe expected to accomplish, in the future."

The Prince oi Wales in an ad- dress at a Conference on Scientific Organization oi Agriculture and Industry, claimed credit for bein! both an Erlgllsh farmer and a Cah- adisn rancher. I-Ie is a thorough believer in scientific research, and in that connection asserted that the development of modem fann- ing technique and equipment is of the greatest importance, because it produces new problems in its ap- plication.

"Get-rich-quick" folks are still to be found notwithstanding the lcs- sons and experience c: 1029. D. S. Paterson, Toronto, former head of the Dominion-wide brokerage house which bore his name, has been sr- rested on a charge of theft involv- ing about $1,880. Bail was fixed at $25,000. Mr. J. M. Godifel’. K-Co Ontario Securities commissioner, says the arrest followed three weeks of investigation by the com- mission. A few days ago, he intim- ated, the licence of Mid-Canada. Exploration Company was cancelled.

The United Iihrmers of Alberta have specifically declined to sup- port Mr. Steven's hew party. and now the United Farmers of sas- katchewan by resolution have de- cided on complete severance from political activity 01' any kind. This decision caused the resignation of

president o! the women's section, who. having strongly advocated continuance oi political action in her presidential address. felt un- able to continue in cmce when the association d’ssented she will con- tinue her activity with the 0.01‘. and merely maintain her interest in the U10.

The United Farmers of Alberta having rejected the Stevens plat-

form and party it is not much oi a capture to have lined up the On- tario United Farmers organization which is notoriously the lame duck o! Ontario politics. Like the Siev- ens party, it started out with high ambitic and an all-embracing programme designed to work politi- c-al and economic wonders. It was elected with a force strong enough to command administrative power, and the big administrative mess it made in little time is writ largo in the political annals of the prov- ince. Ontario's ‘memory of the Drury Government is not a pleas- ing memory; and the burden it left on the shoulders of the taxpayers was intolerable. Its experience should be ominous to the party in- to which it is now to merge in vir- tue cf kinship, and to which it does bear the resemblance 0t a political party striving to be all things to all men.

Voluntary ag. ment has been reached between the United King- dom, Australla and New Zealand, covering supplies of mutton and lamb to the British market for l8 months including December, 1936. For the first six months, ending December 31, New Zealand will send 1,578,000 hundredweights and Australia 050,000. During 1M0 New Zea-land will send 8,000,000 and ‘Australia 1.750.000. provision being made for adjustment upwards or downwards in the light oi later estimates of capacity oi the market and o1 UK. production. As regards beef and veal, Australia has agreed to regulate supplies for the third and fourth quarters oi this year so the total quantity will not exceed 1.100.000 hlmdredweight, oi which 100,000 will be chilled beef. New Zeaiand will keep her bee: and veal shipments in the same period below 470,000 hundredweight, of which 06,000 will be chilled beef. The net result is to ease the weight of imported supplies in the last three months of the year when heavy British supplies come on the market.

In the recent civic ‘ “ - in that‘ city Labor candidates were ’efeate'd‘ just ba- cause of this trend. and in Win. iiipeg there are demands for the formation oi a group of “A ’ 100g. ed citizens to drive the reds out." Such a uievement is hardly neces- sary now, in view 0f the popular attitude, which is for the preserva. tion of law and order through the regular machinery. At the same time, such expressions of indigng. tion are proof that thepeople, up. ed oi the trouble-makers. are de. tegnirlcd they shall not have their w .

If all parties proposing 1Q gnu;- theelection campaign carry out thezr intentions. then the next Par. llsment will be a mixed one. Them will be Conservatives. Liberals, U-FJXS» Lemme-i. Communists. G.C.F'rs, and Stevenltss. It will be quite a salad. This note from The Ottawa Journal will make the aver- age man wonder ii this multitude of partzes will lead to a condition where no group can control the House and where government will be impossible. It was such a con- dition that led to dictatorships in some European countries. On the other hand the Anglo-Saxon peoples have a genius for compromise which will probably prevent such a devel- opment in Cansda-Sault Ste. Marie Star.

Another earthquake has brought deathand destruction to the people of Formosa. In China the damage done by flood is terrible. Nature seems to be determined to sdd to man's distress. Perhaps the best way to take this is as a challenge to drop all the conflict that is seeth- 1118 and threatening turmoil within nations and among nations. Man can iind plenty to do, plenty to struggle against without raising trouble with his fellow man.

The result of the aldermanic elec- tion indicates that Regina. cltrens are far from 100 per cent. behind some of the claims and arguments advanced by the strikers and those who climbed on the bandwagon when it arrived at Regina. Regina citizens are sympathetic to the plight of individuals. but there is a form of extreme radicalism that makes a mistake when it gets the idea that it is the boss of the com- munity. Regina. has indicated, in its civic vote, that it is a representative Canadian town. neared in Canadian traditions, wedded to the British Principle of democratic authority and not to be stampeded into s hysteria that would. in the name of an emergency that did not exist. throw overboard the things that are essential to the building of a society in which man's life and property are reasonably secure.

During battle practice oi the fleet. carried out under the eye of the King, the expected test of the "Queen Bee" robot piloted plane in attack on capital ships took place. Two qf these planes were to have been used; one crashed in the take- ofI. The other penetrated the anti- sircraft defence barrage and pass- ed over the Rodney before receiv- ing a direct hit. On a very rough computation it is said that one thousand planes can be built and maintained for approximately the same cost as building and keeping afloat one battleship. If it were ac- cepted that one plane out oi two can register a hit, the plane wins hands down.

Two sisters were examined by a physician ;one was forty years of age and the other iiity. The phy- sician stand that the actual phy- sical age of one ag forty was mic fifty Ind oi one aged fifty was really only forty. He was not 80in: by the years as we know them but the actual age of the biid9—blood vessels, heart, kidneys.

And so we iind physicians now

trying towstimste the physiological age or health of individuals so that "i951 ml!’ live more in accordance with this age. Thus there is no lea- son why the individual who was born 60 years ago, thinking he is "getting old" and planning 3, rest. ful old age, when his blood vessels, blood, heart, kidneys and nervous system show that he'ls really in his forties. Similarly an individual in his for- ties who has never been rugged or who has been through much from infections or the stress of life, may 11°00 i0 Pause and Plan a less strenuous or more sheltered life ii he is to live another twenty years or more. . .

In an address to the New York Academ, of Medicine he des- uibes various methods oi measur- ili! or attempting to measure age, arid how fast or at what rate the individual is aging. Thus during the war the rate at which a wound healed gave "sur- Drlsingly exact" figures as w the Dliifllfs age. ‘Ihesc figures were ob- tained in soldiers between the ages of twenty and forty-five.

However the most exact method for All aces is by the use oi the liquid or serum part of the blood- without the wrpuscles. By compar- ing the rate at which the little cells are made to grow by the use c!

It has been found that the rate at which man ages is very rapid at the beginning of life, but toward the end of life it tsloes place more slowly.

This method isn't perfect because it isnt able to tell us the exact age of the individual but it does tell the rate at which he is aging, and mg changes that this aging brings about in his tissues. ,

Television Coming

(London Times)

A double television service (or the Greater London area, berm the end of the year is now certain. It has been announced by no 1.355 g Person than the Postmaster-Gen- eral himself. Even the site for the station has been chosen-the Alex- mdra Palace.

This is a site which is considered particulalry suitable. It is m Hishsate. in the North of Iondon, away from the most congested area (atmospherlcally speaking), 811d it Mina 306 feet above w; level. It is ,.roposed u; em; n, JOO-fcot mast on top of this, thus WWIdJXIC In serial 606 feet above sea level. This should be sulfi- cient, it is, thought, to provide a high definition television service for the Iondon area. Thus the first definitemove hasbeen madein the establishment of a service since the issue of the television committee's Nliort five months ago.

There will be considerable differ- ence in the two systems to be timsmitted. but the Postmaster- General is insisting that arrange- ments shall be made for the sale of receivers which will pick up either transmission without unduly com- plicaied or en, ‘vs adjustment.

Vision will be broadcar‘. on g wave-length of about 6.6 metres and the associated sound signals on about 7.2 metres. Neither of these viva-lengths is receivable on an or- dinary receiver such as is used u)- day. Moreover, owing m m; u- treme shortness of the wave-len- gths. the range will be limited to about thirty miles.

Federal Housing Act

(Exchange)

There is widespread interest in the Housing Act passed by the Bennett Government at the last session of Parliament. Briefly. it is the intention that. a. hamebullder may obtain a loan up to 80 per cent. of the cost ior a long term and at a low rate. oi irliorest. The Government will not deal directly with applications. An oiIicial of the Department of Finance will have chaige of Government loans. but the applications will be turned over to loaning companies throughout Canada. A list or approved loaning companies to whom the borrowers may apply is now being drawn up. Several conferences have been held with representatives of these com- panies and a form of czntract is being arranged.

The Act contemplates buildings of various kinds but used solely for dwelling purposes, and it provides that construction must be oi a high standard. Loan companies may 0i- fer up to 80 pel- cent. of the ap- praised-value or estimated cost, whichever is the less. Twenty per cent. will be advrmced from the $10,090,000 fund provided by the Housing Act. In this way it is ex- pected that building operations to the value of $50,000,000 will be set in motion. The details oi the ma- chinery of the Act are being pre- pared by the Minister of Finance and his Deputy Minister.
