A Diiticuit Question

”l)ignity and worth for the in- dividual is a corner stone of ilc.iio- cratic philosophy. To forget this or to deny it even temporarily iinilcr th e prcssiiies of a nianpoucr dilemma is to violate thc iiatioifs ideal and to move toiiaril thv cal- culated regulations of an auto- cratic state. Reizimentation is not an acceptable solution of tli s coitu- try's manpower problems".

The above passage is taken from a report issued by a coiiimittee of the National l-jiucation Associatiiii at its recent annual convention in Portland, Ore. It has to do with a very vexing problem facing the Western nations; and there seems hardly any way of getting around it without doing harm to our tradi- tional way of life in the process. The fact that the Soviet Union has all the engineers and technicians it needs for its military and industrial purposes, while the United States and the Western nations apparent- ly do not, is not at all surprising, although of course that does not make it any less serious from the

West's point of view. In the Soviet ;.

Union and other totalitarian states young people are selected for tech- nical and professional training by some bureaucratic authority, acting in behalf of the central Govern- ment, on two simple bases: (1) their own talents, as judged by their ex- aminers; (2) the nation's need. There is no such thing as free academic choice in our sense of the term. And, of course, this is I. logical corollary to the concept of the all-powerful state. No doubt, it is taken as n.' matter of course in Soviet schools.

The United States, Great Brit- am, and Canada could do very much the same thing by exercising to the full emergency powers which are never too far away from the reach of governments. But it could be done only at the expense of a free- dom which is part and parcel of our political heritage. Would it be worth the cost? That is the ques- tion: and it is not an easy one for ilmyone to answer, in view of tech- nological needs on the one hand and democratic traditions and be- llefs on the other.

Eastern Treasure Hunt

There's nothing like news of buried treasure to stir the popular imagination. People who wouldnlt give a thought to an ancient doc- umcnt, regardless of its cultural worth, will fall over one another in racing to the supposed site of hidden gold. That, in fact, is what is going In right now in the Israel-Jordan area of the Middle East.

It will be recalled that in 1947, Bedouin shepherds, keeping watch over their flocks by night. stumbled upon what has come to be called the ”Dead Sea Scrolls", documents supposed to have been placed in hiding by the Esscnes. ii Jewish sect known for its austerity and high moral standards. These scrolls caused much excitement and inter- est among Biblical scholars the world over; but as far as the natives of the area were concerned, the documents were simply old pieces of parchment, nothing more. Some weeks ago, however, scholars at the

University of Manchester who had examined two of the scrolls an- nounced that they had found in them detailed information concern- ing 200 tons of hidden gold and sil- ver. Experts estimnted that at citr- rent market prices the treasures would be worth more than S200 mil-

lion.

This news had very little effect on the scholars themselves, who would prefer an old parchment any day to a pot of gold or silver; but for the native Bedouin tribes it was Eli molt exciting thing that had . , ' lrrthe memory of the old- notflllhnbltmt. g.-tllhcy are arriving fmiliovu with plug Al lithare isorunr of .- plondnnt

matters. They say it is most im- likely that the cave contains treas- ures of such magnitude. For one thing, not even the Temple of Jer- usalem in the days of its greatest glory possessed such a quantity of gold and silver; for another, the economy of what was a very poor country would have collapsed if such huge treasures had been re- moved from circulation.

Huniers' Exaggeralions

Who is the more uiiirutiifui- or. shall we say, the,.moi'e inclined to imaginativeness, the fisherman or the hunter? Well. after mulling over the question and studying li('itlll.S of evidence for many years, lllt' L'nited States Fish and Wildlife Sci-vice reports tlimugli Science Si-slice that there is little to choose bi-tiiceii them. 1-Iveigiliotly knows that fishermen (we rcfcr, of course, to those who fish for sport, not to commercial fisliermi-ii who beloiiti to a much superior brcctli will not tell the exact .i'uth when it is pos- sible to get away with somethiig more elastic. indeed some psy-

chologists go so far as to suggest that it was that little trait that made them cultivate a liking for

the pastime in the first place. Btit. according to the Service experts, hunters are just as careless with the facts. The judgment is based on the annual returns hunters send in to headquarters. Research h as shown that when a man reports that he has shot, say, 13 ducks, his actual kill was somewhere between '10 and 13. This is taken into ac- count when official tabulations are made. and the appropriate sub- traction is brought into use as a matter of routine.

There is some evidence, too, that

The aiiiinunccnient of Seanlor Knowland concerning President Eisenlio ..'s willingness to seek a second term will not surprise vcry many people. As former

a goodly number of hunters, per- haps as many as oiie-third, don't keep actual count but fill in the forms on the basis of the legal lim- it in the particular area. That is to say, if the law permits four birds 21 day, the hunter puts down that number on his report. In point of fact, the Service reports. the aver- age daily bag for each of the near- ly 3 million hunters in the United States is one duck. The man is not really lying when he puts 4 where 1 or O ought to be. He is merely as- serting his ego and he expects the officials to arrive at a good and re- liable number by a process in which research and a knowledge of human nature as it pertains to hunters and fishermen are com- bined. Usually they do. At least they are satisfied that from all the evidence, good, bad, and indifferent, they achieve about 9576 accuracy.

Our own Natural Resource De- partment attaches a brief census sheet to the annual fish and game license. Probably about two-thirds of the forms (that seems to be about the average on a world front) are returned duly filled out. Doubtless, officials of the depart- ment are well acquainted with the vagaries as reported by Science Service and act accordingly when making their calculations.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Prime Minister Eden and For- eign Secretary Lloyd have announ- ced they will visit Moscow next May, all being well. They certainly are giving their prospective hosts plenty of time in which to fix tip a couple of spare rooms for the occas- ion.

Premier Matheson thinks that. not enough preparation was made for the Fredericton meeting of At- lantic Premiers. He might have add- ed that it was rushed through too quickly. It could hardly be expected that problems which have been building up for many years could be discussed thoroughly in a few hours. As for the appointment of a committee,-that could have been done just as well by mail.

These are great days for Asians who need more rice than can be raised locally. The other day, for in- stance, 40,000 tons of the staple food arrived in East Pakistan as ii

Presidenl Harry Truman put it, the revelation was scarcely bead-

line news, Neither his recent ser- i ious operation nor his earlier heart attack has been considered as a deterrent to Eisenhower's ability to assume the office of President for another term.

Jubilant Republicans coiitiniie to dccalre that the President is in good health despite the serious illnesses which have hospitaliz- ed him (luring the past months. Senator Knowland promises an aggressive and vigorous campaign and nthcr Republicans assure the nation that the president is in bet- ter health than ever. But report- ers carrying the news of the pres- ident's decision to rim again have also commented on his appearance dcscribing him as thin. pale and tired-looking.

HARD TO BELIEVE

It is hard to believe that the i President is in a very rugged state of health at this time and his willingness to stand for office again r st be put down as a per- sonal sacrifice in the interest of his party. The life of leisure on his control the executive power of the United States. How his wife i and family vicw this readiness to jcnpardi7.e his own health for the sake of party is not known. but it would not be surprising if they should have wished that he i had decided to lay down the bur- l dons and rcspnnsibilitl-:s of office. i Hut Eiscnlinwcr is not the first man to be called iipnn to make sacrifices of a high order for his political party. There have been many examples of political figures in thi United States and in this country who have shnrtcncd thcir , own lives in an effort to prolong that of tlicir party.

great personality and inimmense prestige was regarded as essen- tial to victory for the Democrat- ic cause. in 1891 the aged John A. MacDonald led the,Conservative Party through a gruelling cam- paign to a victory which proved to be his last. A favorite Conser- vative slogan during the election was: "The old man. the old flag and the old party." Of these three it is likely that the old man was the most important factor in up- pealing to the Canadian voters.

OTHER FACTORS

Although public men will re- main at their post to the detri- ment of their own health for reas- ons of party loyalty, this is not the only factor involved. Consid- erations of a more personal na- ture are often present. While re- tirement may appear an appeal- ingtprospect to many men there are those who like to linger on the field. reluctant to surrender paw- er and responsibility. In deed even very great men sometimes post- pone inn long their leave-inking from office. History records the names of many whose reputation would have been greater had they stepped down at the pinnacle of their careers. Certainly Eisen- hower's second term will not be the great political honeymoon that this first has been. Knowing that the popular Ike will not be in the running a third term, the Demo- crats will not hesitate to attack him and his administrative rec- ord. Without him as a potential candidate unifying all factions, the Republican party will show the riffs and cleavages which have long weakened its popular appeal. Nor is it likely that Eisenhower's heir apparent. Richard Nixon, will be a cohesive force. He already has too many enemies to be 1 great uniflcr.

It is hazardous to fry to predict future events. but it is possible that today's happy announcement

may not be quite so widely ac-

We have no permanent cure for astlunq. Yet with drugs and devices . . . we,cnn prevent

t attacks or relieve them once have begun. ,

One of the newest devices of benefit to asthmatics is I non- lh-ealiable inhaler-Medihaler by, name--permits geuctly meas- ured doses ofjnhalatlon medicines.

,Until now it bun'tibeen pos- 'sibls to admlnlstq precise closure of nebiillzed ther no agents. This new plastic r with its

connected vial of epinephrine ,or

lsoproternol gives the same dose for each inhalation. LESS DOSING NEEDED

Whereas most patients using con- ' ventionsl nebulizers usually take anywhere from five to 15 inhalat ions. one or possibly two inhalat- ions.gene'rally are enough with the new instrument.

The snullest amount of medical- ion that p-oduces relief. of course; should be used. although ome asthmatics have been given as many as 200 inhalations a day without evidence of harm.

The reservoir holds enough med- icine for 200 inhalations.'0rdinarily this is sufficient to give relief for a patient on two hundred occasions. EAST TO CARRY i

The drug in reservoir-container remains stable, uncontaminated and protected against spilling throughout its use. Since both the inhaler and vial are leakproof and shatterproof, it is easy to carry about. I

While neither epinephrine nor is- oproternol readily alters blood pres- sure, taken in prescribed doses. in nubulized form, they can cause uemulousness and tachycardia. They should be used with caution in patients with high blood pres- sure, heart disease, tuberculosis, diabetes or hyperthyroidism.

The inhaler can be used at any time of the day.

Doctors report that if it is used upon awakening it usually reduces breathing difficulty on arising. And if taken at bedtime. it is reported to reduce breathing difficulties and improve chances for a good night's sleep. .-

The inhaler and medicine can be purchased only with a doctor's pre- scription.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

L.P.: Can a rupture be danger- ous to an infant?

Answer: A hernia or rupture can prove dangerous to an infant.

Whether a rupture will be dan- gerous or not can usually best be determined by a physician and can usually be successfully cor- rected by surgery. ..
