Panic Buying

Condemned

By Govit And Others

OTTAWA. Aug. 14 - (OP) officials of gcvemment, business organizations and consumer assoc- iations joined in " ' panic-buying and hoarding as "selfish. exceedingly foolish. un- patrictic" and harmful to the econ- omy of the country.

'lhcre is no reason. they say, for hoarding or excessive buying at this time. There is no shortage of supplies and is not likely to be unless there is unreasonable buy- ing. Such buying tended to in- crease prices. to cause hardship to many and to affect adversely the general economy ofvthe country.

it was the type of thing which muic necessary universally unpop- u'.r.r ccntrola of various types.

Statements of the officials came rsliilerepcrts from whim parts of the country indium 'that the tense iuivca tionalilillation has lent to heavy buying of goods in short-supply during the Second World War. In demand are prod-

CRY. TEE BELOVED COUN- TRY. By Alan Paton: 5. J. Ragin- ald aaunders; 33.60. A reader has asked about this book which was published some months ago. I can say it is one of the finest I have ever read, filled with poignant writing and dealing with an-old subject. A critic of the F science Monitor has summed it well in stating: "A book apart from the books of many years. It is about an unworn subject, large in human values. by a man who has a burning zeal for his theme and the ability to convey it in a beautiful story told without false notes or an inadequate word." Mr. Paton has developed a style that is easy to read and as graphic as picture writing. It is utterly simple and yet. it grips one so that it is impossible to put the book down until the end. Pew writers have been able to present such striking characters with so few words. The Rev. Stephen Kumalo. living on almost primitive life in his native hills, and holding a simple faith as his anchor, be- comes an immortal figure. no is doing good work but progress is slow and the rains do not. come to aid the crops. Then he receives a message saying that his sister. finding living dihicult, has gone astray in Johannesburg. The old pastor is timid about the big city. yet he forces himself to go and do what he can. He is gypcd easily by the first sharper he meets. but per- lists and finds the woman. takes her to new quarters and looks for his son. who has not written home in a long time.

The story of his search for the missing boy is t uching to a de- gree seldom attained by any au- thcr. It is a story steeped in and- ness and discouragement yet ad- miration for the man develops and

LAKE 310058. 11.1. MR. 14 - (AP) - Towering Sir Gladwyn Jebb. Britain's new .apreaautat.ivo in the United Nations Security Council. turned out to be the council's moat polished phrase-mm ker in the wearing debates Rus- ala'a Jakob A. "allk forced on the council last week. i .1.-iii.) Where some delegates take is- we with Malikjr rulings as pre- sident in ponderous. sometimes bumbung fashion. Sir Gladwyn places his barbs with the same precision that he casts a trout fly or aims a rifle when he- hunts stag in Scotland.

A wyear-old career man in Bri- taln'a Foreign Office with a bril- llant. university record behind him. Jebb has had what Foreign Office people think is an outstanding career. But it was as helper. ad- visor and guide to Britain's great statesmen that. he has shone. not as the man in the spotlight.

Now he is carrying Britairi'r or- atcrical burden in the U. N? and making a neat lob of it. Next month he will be council preli' dent. He succeeded Sir Alexander Cadogan who spoke with a logical, sparse dry wit and a saving of words.

A lifetime of reading classic lit- erature. studying -languages and learning history has given him the ability to deliver a simply- phraaed straight answer to a question. tinged at times with a classic British acid.

-He is -credited with a logical mind that cuts quickly through verbiage.of an opponent to spot the weakness of the argumentvand expose it. His flair for organic- ation and his ability to diagram a situation quickly are his main strength. .

He has come up with just the right word at the right time last week. It was Jebb who pointed out-in a mild voice-the Russians use "upside-down language" that says peace. and manna war. and which calls defence aggression. But. Jebb admits: "I'm no good at crossword puzzles. I never can think of the answer."

The Russians aren't new to him. He was one of Churchill's prin- cipal advlaera at the Yalta con- ference. He understands a few words of Russian. but I-bench. It.- allan and German are his strong- est. languages. He has forgotten most of the Persian he once knew. His career may take him to the Foreign Office top, many of his admirers feel.

On the way up. he has been private secretary to Hugh Dalton. to Anthony Eden. to Sir Alex- ander Cadogan and to Lord Van- aittart.

All this training prepared him for the jobs Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin found for him. in- cluding a big part; in the peace conference at Paris in 1946. lie was Britain's repreatative in pre- paratory conferences for the Unit- ed Nations and was acting secre- tary-general of the U. N. in Lon- don in 1946. One friend said he doubts anyone in the U. N. now has the complete knowledge of the U. N. charter that Jebb has.

1; Why is rubbing alcohol" used to sponge fever patients? . Alcohol reduces the body warmth of fever patients. because it evap- orates quickly. andtwben any liq-

Q uid evaporates it absorbs heat.

2. Why does an alcoholic drink make a man feel warmer? Alcoholic drinks make a person feel warmer because the alcohol passing into the blood causes the little blood vessels in the skin become larger so that more blood comes to the surface of the body. The blood coming to the surface from the inatdrof the body warms the nerve endings of the skin. That is why the drinker feelawarmor all over. This is why there is seen a reddening of the akin. eapclally the nose, drinking. '

8. Is the body actually warmer? No. The blood is actually cooled. since more 'heat leaves the body through the warmed skin.

4. How do we know that?

The thermometer shows that the temperature of the inside of the body is usually lowered in a man who has been drinking.

5. Why isnot the person con- scious of this lowered temperature of the inside of the body? V The drinker is not conscious of the lowered temperat e of the blood because there are not as many nerve endings inside the bodyasthereareintheskira. Itirthen true that though a man feels warmed by an alcoholic drink. the temperature of his body is actually lowered.

8. Is this difference between the feeling of warmth and the actual lowered temperature of the body not-dangerous when a exposed to cold?

Yes. "Persons using alcohol of- ten become dangerously chilled without knowing it. They there- fore often stay in the "cold. wet and wind without. seeking shel- ter or warm, dry clothing, or tak- ing increased physical exercise for protection." (What About Alcohol? by Bogen and H1561. Date 41.)

1. Why did Nansen refuse to take any alcohol with him in his Arctic explorations?

Thelast. thing an explorer of the Far North can afford to lose or al- low to escape is heat. Nansen re- fused to have one drop of any in- toxicating beverages on board, his ship because "alcohol disturbs the delicate mechanism which regu-

8. Did other explorers in Polar regions ban alcoholic bevuages? Yes. sir. T. E. David, ll. R. 5., said: "We never used alcohol in any.aledging expeditions in the Antarctic during eighteen ” .. Sometimes a glass of wine was al- lowed on the birthday of one of of the crew. It was noticed after- ward that resistancetocoid was temporarily lowered and shivering would be experienced." This is the verdict of actual experience. (See Alcohol and Human Life, by Weeks. page l'l'l.)

D. What is the scientific verdict on the effect of strong drink on body warmth?

These words of the Medical Re- search Council committee contain that verdict: "We can therefore

Prairies Enioying Good crop Vltathcr

WINNIPEG . Msn., Aug. 14 - While weather and precipitation has been variable throughout the Prairie Provinces during the past week. conditions have generally been favourable for crop progress. and many points in all Provinces are beginning to estimate prospect- ive yields with considerable as- surance of these being attained. 'Possibility of frost and migra- tory giass-hopper damage must still be considered as determining factors in crop outturns in a num- ber of districts. Excess moisture has caused crop lodging particu- larly in Manitoba. according to the weekly crop report of the De- partment of Agriculture, Canad- ian National Railways.

In the Okanagan valley -weather was warm and dry. The pear crop is now estimated at 80 percent of normal. apple crop normal. but other fruit crops will be light. There is a good vqetable crop but as tree fruits are a little late. movement of these is not very brisk due in part also to fair veg- etable and wild fruit crops on the Prairies. It is expected that the apple movement will be consider- ably heavier before the end of this month.
