Atomic Power Prospects

the Allainiil: Prov- shnre

I956

ltrospt.-cts of H inces being nniong the first 10 in the benefits of atomic power plant facilities were intlicatcii in Hall ml- dri-ss before the l'.'rll,'lticci'iiig lusti- lute of L'rliIil(l'ri this week by a (trotti- incnt autliority on this sillliWf- The speaker was Mr. I. N. 3lnrix'.'iy, inaiiagt-r of the eiigiiict-i'ii1g civilian atomic power department of Cuna- dian General Electric Colnpatiy at Petcrborougli, Ontario.

T he basic clianictcristics -dtoinic power plants as compared to ctmveiitional fuel-fired power, Mr. iilacKay explained. were the neg- liggihle fuel cost. the relatively high capifal cost. and the great economies attainable in large sizes. For these reasons it was to be expected that atomic power would be used initially where hydro, natural gas or other cheap power was iiol readily avail- gllle. Use of atomic power in the At- lantic Provinces would depend on the general rate of development, but it could also directly affect the gmwth of these Provinces.

This prospect is something for the Atlantic Economic Council to inquire into very thoroughly. It is generally agreed that high power costs constitute one of our greatest problems. and we can never hope to keep pace with the industrial ex- pansion of other parts of the Do- minion unless some long-term so- lution is found. There is no reason why the Federal Government should not aid in establishing atomic power units here, regardless of the initial cost, as an offset to the tremendous power development programs which ITO under way in British Columbia, the Prairies and the Central Prov- inces.

A Worthy Development

Berchetesgaden, Germany. W35

' for some years I place of ill repute; for it was in that secluded Alpine village that Adolf Hitler of untam- ented memory mapped his evil plans for war and cruelty. It was there. too. that the tyrant went. from time to time to discuss with his general: new strategies and tactics when the war was in progress. Since 1954, however, one institution Within its borders has made it a veritable symbol of human scarcli for the liigtiest. good. In that year the Un- lted States Army turned the village into a religious retreat. where sol- .iicrs of all crccds can go, and in fact do go from time to time, to find peace and rest in contemplation of eternal values.

It was a new expt-rimont in initi- iary history, and reports indit:nl.e that it has justified the initiative of its sponsors in the help it has af- forded thousands of orrlinnry 501- dicrs and many high ranking of- ficers who guard the frontiers of freedom and keep wntclt against the possible encro:ic.lime.nts of an :19.- gressor. During the two )"l'"l'S ll” retreat has been in operzition, more than 100 programs of relifllmts zharacier have been held within its walls and attended by members of all religious faiths. l-'i.il0t) soldiers have taken advantage of its religious facilities and part.ic.ipatcd in the re- zreational activities it has provided.

Berchctesgaden. a spot where infamy was plotted, takes its place Imong the shrines of the earth where peace and mercy and truth are met together-a notable and worthy development indeed.

Federal Election Prospects

tlfied these matters as the pipe line Bill and the new financial arrange- ments with the provinces (Plan C).

The pipe line Bill is now before the House and is being forced along under closure and in face of the bit- terest controversy Ottawa has seen in years. This Bill will be law on June 7, if not earlier. The Dominion- Provincial Plan C has been put into legal form and is likely to pass with- out delay. Both these measures will have been dealt with by July when Parliament will prorogue, or ad- journ to resume yin September. Therefore, it is plain flint beyond the next six weeks. Mr. La.urent's answer leaves the Government free to do as it pleases.

There are no clear indications of what the Government has in mind election-wise. According to Grant Dexter. Ottawa correspondent of the Winnipeg Free Press. it is likely that the Ministers have open minds

"on the timing of an election-this

fall or next summer. But there has been a good deal of rather earnest talk about an election and there are considerations, which might bcconie tlecisive, in favor of a fail election.

First. there is Ml'. St. l..aurt-nt hiinsclf-tlie chief political asset of the party. lie will be 75 years of age next February 1. At the present time he appears to be strong and healthy for his years. But. the Lib- erals are keenly aware that health is a chancy factor at this age, es- pecially when a man must carry I prime minister's responsibilities. The advantages of a fall election here are obvious.

Second, there are the economic prospects. The country is prosper- ous and the danger of inflation is real. The boom is believed certain to become more rather than less pro- nounced in the next nine months. Under these circumstances tax re- ductlons are ruled out as inflation- ary and dangerous. But. it is asked, dare a Government present. a budget next spring reporting I surplus of, say, 3300 millions, denying the peo- ple any reduction in taxation, and estimating a 1957-58 surplus of, say 3500 millions? Liberals regard this as economic wisdom but political lunacy. A fall election would avoid this difficulty entirely. But the pipe line controversy would certainly be fresh in mind and might well form the liveliest issue of the campaign.

Rests With The Driver

A recent News Letter of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce emphasizes that, important as are safety devices in connection with motor vehicles, traffic safety in the last analysis rests with the man be- hind the wheel. safety door locks, padded dash boards, collapsible steering wheels, safety belts-these and other devices are helpful, but they cannot do much to protect the naturally careless driver. In part the News Letter says: ,

ftMore and more, automobile ad- vertising is featuring new safety de- vices, many of which are designed not. to prevent. accidents but to mini- mize their effect. This is all well and good, but there is always the clown who will anchor himself with a saf- ety belt behind the wheel of a car

with more than 200 horsepower, low-slung so that it can take the turns without sway, and then pro-

ceed to put his deadly projectile through its paces without any re- gard for others on the road.

"He considers himself a safe driver. isn't, he using all of the saf- ety devices that have been conjured up? Until there is a widespread realization that traffic safety de- pends upon the individual driving the car, then there will be no dim- unitlon in the rate of accidents. so long as there are reckless, imprud- ent, incapable or drunk behind the wheel of a car, there can be no real traffic safety."

It is too tragically true that all the safety devices in the world are futile.to correct-an error in judg- ment on the driver's part. Traffic safety rests primarily with the driver; and there can be no positive assurance of traffic safety t.ill mo- torists. as individuals, become safe drivers. .

OTTAWA REPORT

Costly Headquarters Staff A

By Patrick Nlchullol

What are we getting from Hon. Ralph Campney, Minister of De- fence, for the extra 374300.000 which we the taxpayers must hand over to him this year

What. we may cvcn ask. are we getting for the huge total of SI.- 740.300.000 which we must pay him this year

There has been I long history of wasteful skeletons in the cup- board c National Defence. On the whole, Mr. Campney has tried to live up to his boast that he would be I Minister of Retrenchmenl, and his regime has not yet smart- ed under any scandal to match the Petawswa horses on the Army psy-roll.

But recent criticisms of our manpower policy by General Sim- onds are making even more im- pressions here than those horses did. This extravagant policy was also heavily attacked in a recent book by a leading army authority. who suggested that more than 40 per cent of our army fights paper wars in offices instead of shooting wars on battlefields.

This staff army is one of the most costly ski-leions, which the Conscrva' I party in Parliament has made repeated unsuccessful attempts to ferret out.

Mr. (Jampncy admitted to Parl- iament that it is more costly to employ servicemen than civilians. The average civilian employed in his Dr-apartment costs 32.600 per year. whereas the average ser- vicenian costs 34,000. he told Par- linmcnt inst ycnr.

OUR CIIAIRBORNE ARMY

In this case. demands the Con- servative opposition, why are not most of the servicemen at desks at National l)efc-in-e headquarters replaced by civilians

Allogcl' -1- there are now 110.678 persons in the Army. Navy and Air Force. Civilians employed to work with the forces total 54,507, or about I civilian to every two uniformed bodies.

There are 4..'l.'l0 civilians cm- plnycd at lit-fcncc hcndquarters here in Ottawa. The number of scrvi-cmcn employed here is I deep ccrct. which nobody will fllsttlnsf! All that is known for sure is that there is .' bewildering prof ion of uniforms around ()t- lawn. cnttinu the grass. driving the family around, taking part- time jobs. and of course doing the slmppillll. And if half our aim- ed fOl'('('S nrc lined up in column

of fours in Ottawa's tarp.-t-.-I groc- eleriss every government pay- day. I would not he at all sur- prised.

in fact this hi-monthly spect- acle is the biggest. turnout of uni- forms ever to be seen in Ottnwn. The ”Gro( teria Grenndiers" and "Campney's Cavalry". charging down the aisles with heavily lud- In shopping trucks. are the ter- ror of the Ottawa housewives. who give all groceterins s wide berth on the l5th and 30th of each month.

EXTRA COST OF N.I).I-l.Q.

This is the chalrborne force which has grown to I size which is kept a close secret. It is widely believed that the total strength of N.D.H.Q, with ancillary. units is about l5.000. Deductlng the 4.330 civilians. that leaves the sup- position that there are nearly 11.- 000 expensively-trained officers and men of army. navy and Iir force just icing paper work here. These each cost the taxpayer In extra 31.400 per ysa over whIt I civilian would cost in the same job.

There must of course always be I certain number of staff of- ficers nnd their junior staff. The criticism with the present Ottawa situation is the swelling number of men whi stay here so long that they forget their military training and lose all usefulness to their re- giment nr corps.

Three years is tht maximum time I soldier should hold I staff job. says General George Peark- es. V.C., the Conservative M.P. from Vancouver Island. if I sol- dier fills in office chair for long- er than that. he is out of touch with military developments Ind new weapons.

Yet there are battalions of scr- vicemcn who have served contin- uously on the Ottawa front for not merely three years. but for five Ind cvcn as much as ten years. These are the costly ones. who could and should have been ronvcrtc” 'n the more economical status of civilian workcr.

As this column has commented before. it would be a good quest- ion for some Opposition MP. to ask the Minister of Defence if any member of the armed services has rcmaincd on staff dulics here for more than three years con- secutively: and if so. whether such servicemen remains an ef- ficient fllhling man.

Qlm little For The Scholar

A great it-i'niciil is sweeping the si-liools and the p.'irciit-tcacticr as- sociations of North America. The lnllcr debate over methods of teaching reading and writing- whcthcr the stunt rct-or,niIion mo- thnd or the old phonetic ls slip- erior---is only a part of the mat- ter. Dccpr r than this discussion of method is a principle which more and more edurnlors see as vital.

This is the principle that de- mocracy has limits and the limits must not be forgotten or ignored brcsusr they are imposed by nat- ure and to ignore them. to pre- tend they do not exist. is to de- liberately warp human progress.

These limits are based on the fact that human beings, in their talents, their chsrscters. their health. :1: not the same. Some are hrninlcr. stronger in spirit. physically sounder than others. North Americans still. occasion- lly. recall that if everyone were the same this would he s dull world. Yet. in many levels of lif,e this principle is forgotten.

The educators say that it In for- gotten. or ignored. in the organiza- tion .if most grammar school and high. school classes today. There is. first.,lhc belief that the ego of the backward child will be bruised for life if he is bested in school competirinn with his fol town. So the class grading of old is thrown out: each child's report is I report of his progress in re- lsilon to hit. on Ibllities. not II covnrnrlson with his fellows.

This is obviously poor training for life. whlll is competitive. Al1T'IORl'l'Y AND DUTY

CHOOSE FIRST AID KIT TO FIT VACATION NEED! The summer vscsiion Isuan is

just about here. And when you're planning for that long wsltod VI- cation it would be I good idea for you to go down to the neighborhood drug store Ind pick up I first Ill! kit.

Of course. you don't Int'cipIi.I any accidents; no one ever does. But its best to be prepsred.

Vacation accidents can be es- pecially serious since you might be out of immediate touch with a doctor and adequate medlcll facilities. You'll want to be pre- pared for emergencies.

Your druggist probably dis- plays several types of first Iid kits ranging in size from I smIll pocket kit to the large csbinot type. The type you need depends a great deal on the kind of vIcI- tinn you're planning.

The American Red Cross rec-I

ommends that I good first Iid Iilt contain the following Irtlcles:

INDIVIDUAL PACKAGES

One-inch compresses in indivi- dula packages. sterile gauze squares - about :t"x3"w in indi. vidual packages, assorted sferllg bandage compresses in individual pnckaizcs.

A roll of it inch adhesive. tri- angular blilldages. sterile gauze in individual packages of about 1 Square yard. an elastic tourne-

quet, burn ointment, Iromniis spirits of ammonia. Pnner cups. scissors. 3-inch

splinter forceps, -inch and 2- inch roller bandages, wire or thin board splints and Castor oil or mineral oil for the eyes. The lat- ter should be sterile and may be obtained in small tubes.

Keep I ciriple of things in mind when buying or preparing your first aid kit. Remember that it must be large enough to have Ill you'll need for wherever you go.

MORE EQUIPMENT

If you're going into I sparsely inhabited arcs you'll naturally need more equipment than if you plan to vacation at I lskesids cottage where you may have plen- ty of neighbors and competent help.

The contents must be arranged so you can find the articles you need without unpacking the en- tire kit. And always be sure that the material is wrapped so it can- not get dirty through handling.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

A.K.: What causes the lskin to crack around the nails? '

Answer: This is most often due to a form of irritation which may be caused by the use of some type of soap or detergent.
