field. The party organization has a right to be well represented in the national association, and there is no question now as to the status it en- joys with the powers that be, fed- eral and provincial.

Rarely, indeed, since Confederat- jon, have we been able to marshal so much strength politically. It is a cause for rejoicing among Conser- yvatives; but it should-also be an oc- easion for very serious stocktaking: _ Heavy responsibilities go with such almost unprecedented opportunities _for service to the Province, and we trust that this fact was duly em- phasized on a national scale at this week's party gathering at Ottawa.

But well-voiced intentions are not _ enough; they must be supplemented by deeds. On this point we can do no better than quote from a pre- convention editorial appearing in that

The Liberals are just saying “We told you so!” We trust that we shall not have to depend on them—or rather on Liberal members in other Provinces—to dig the facts out when Parliament meets in Jan- uary, and demand the showdown that we have been asking vainly for from our Conservative friends. Better give us the story now, before the fireworks begin!

Old Pearlie’s Teeth

Old Pearlie lives on Rood Menter’s ranch in Nebraska’s Great Plains area. She is a registered Holstein cow, and she got her name because her eight front lower teeth were so badly worn down that she could no longer feed herself or drink sufficient water to maintain her health. She was doomed to. slaughter or starva- tion at the early age of not quite nine years. She would have sold at a very, low price because she wasn’t built for juicy steaks, only for hamburgers, weiners or cheap boiling beef. Yet a young registered Holstein to re- place her would have gost a premium at present prices.

Then something wonderful hap- pened. The story is told by Pearl P. Pucket in the current issue of The Country Guide. A dentist at Chappell, Neb., Dr. Ward Newcombe, tackled Pearlie’s tooth problem wholeheart- edly. After a lot of experimenting with metals and methods, he went to work. And on June 16 of this year the first cow.in the world to receive dental care was “crowned”. The job took just ten minutes, and cost fifteen dollars. Within five _minutes necessary to permit the dent-

al cement to harden, the “patient” was turned out to pasture and crop- ped-the tough grass. Within 20 days she had gained 35 pounds and was drinking the coldest spring water with no difficulty.

This was only the beginning of the new era in bovine dentistry. Since the first miracle, most of Rood

All of the old “Pearlies” have gain- ad weight and are able to keep pace with the younger cows. Replacement costs on Menter’s raneh for this year

_ staunch Conservative newspaper, the Ottawa Journal: “The Conservatives,” says The _ Journal, “of all people know how the Liberals began to slip into com- Placency and from complacency into _ the pipeline debate. So we hope for the sake of the party that the three days of meetings will be more than mere shouts of praise for Mr. Diefen- ~ baker and his ministers, deserved as that might be, and that there will

_ be keen discussion on resolutions and

other business. “Conservatives need hardly be re-

_ minded that the government which

survives longest is that which heeds the counsel of its friends. If the _ friends cease to counsel, take their eontinuous ease in the sunlight of

_ success and allow no party debate to

reach the surface of public discussion,

then annual meetings lose their pur- _ pose and the government they sup- _ port is being sabotaged.”

This .is good advice, which can be applied at all times to the party’s activities. And we trust that it will be heeded in a_matter of grave local

_ @oncern, on which the Conservatives

made one of their chief election bids

in the recent provincial contest. We

refer to their adoption of the name “Party of the Catiseway” and their pledge to bring this great undertak- ing to achievement.

We have heard disquieting ru-

mors about qur Causeway project

recently, and the attitude of the responsible minister at Ottawa in reneging on his promised report of

ly telling us he doesn’t know when _ the report will be ready, has not help- ed to allay our suspicion that there is a political nigger in the woodpile. _ Nor are we satisfied with our own _eahinet representative’s refusal to comment on the situation. ~ Perhaps this matter will be ironed out behind the scenes at the Associa- tion meetings this week, and we shall hear better news shortly. In the

meantime, however, we seem to have

been given the lordly brush-off; and we can assure our friends on_the _party’s new executive, junior and senior, and in the seats of office fed- eral and provincial, that our people

AT THE U.N.

The Fourteenth Session of the General Assembty is drawing to an uneventful close But this ab- sence of sensational headlines does not mean that the represen- tatives of the 32 nations gathered here have not achieved progress in their continuing endeavours to promote peace and to improve the lot of mankind.

Canada’s delegation has not achieved the equal of the great feat of diplomacy which Hon. Paul Martin pulled off four vears

sored the admission of the six-

_ teen smaller countries to full

membership of the United Na- tions. But such an outstanding op-

will produce strong husky calves due to improved nutritional standards and milk production.

_ The crowns are made by a large Denver manufacturer and are stock- ed at Sedgewick, Colorada, where Dr. Newcombe and rancher Menter have incorporated themselves and are in business. They have a large corps of trained veterinarians, with orders for more than 10,000 cows to be crowned immediately. The crowns come in ten different sizes and are made of stainless steel. They are put on with dental cement and crimped three times to pertect the crowning process and push the cement around the tooth. The operation requires certain technical skills, and crowns will be sold only to veterinarians who have taken the time to visit the training centre at Sedgewick- to familiarize themselves with the. pro- cess; then they too will become ac- credited bovine dentists.

EDITORAL NOTES

One Canadian is injured in an automobile accident every eight minutes—and one person dies every three hours, according to All Can- ada Insurance Federation statistics. This year, for the first time, Prince Edward Island is being cited as a

harrowing example. * *

_ Moose herds are building. up so ” well ain New Brunswick that it is suggested the time is: ripe for an open season on moose to be declared. The suggestion comes from the diree- tor of the wildlife station of the University of New Brunswick, who says the “cropping” could go on in-

definitely. \

It came as a surprise to learn that the old Canada Temperance Act was still operative in any part of the country. It was revoked on Monday in Perth and Huron counties in Ontario, the last ramparts of Pro- hibition. Remember when. it was such a burning, issue here, and when:a Liberal government rode into power

on its coattails?

In the United States, business firms and individuals are able to get advance rulings from their Bureau of Internal Revenue on the tax con- sequences of proposed business act- ions. In Canada, complains the Fin- ancial Post, the taxpayer has no such aid. If his interpretation of the regu- lations isn’t the same as the tax col-

-lettor’s, the consequences can be .

“unexpected and extremely expen- sive.”

portunity does not present itse’ often, and our representatives have maintained and even en- hanced our position as a leader of the Middle Powers. by solid achievement in several less gla- morous fields.

ternational set of diplomats here expected this session of the Gen- eral Assembly to be “The Afri- can Session.”” But unofficial op- inion expressed in the Delegat- es’ Lounge here cynically de- scribes it as having largely prov- ed to be “the Phony Session:” diplomacy has been shifted from the United Nations to other chan- nels, they complain. ‘Substantiat- ing this, they point to the new

Eisenhower leaves Thursday on a 23.900-mile goodwill tour in which his main stop will he New Dethi and his main talks will be with Prime Minister Nehru. In the light of the growing coolness between India and Red China. the timing of the trip could not be more opportune.

But in. Eisenhower's enlarge- ment of personal diplomacy there is a danger of boomerang. China is not likely to stand by while Eisenhower woos the neutral In- dians. If some international inci dent could be promoted that would discredit Eisenhower and the U.S.. Peking would lose no time in promoting it.

The story of the Bombay inci-

dent. as received in Washington, |

reads like mystery fiction.

A Chinese official, Chang Chien-Yu, seeks refuge in the U.S. consulate. Because of a party in the consulate, he {s taken to a remote cottage for overnight safety and placed in custody of a young marine ser- geant, Robert Armstrong.

CHANGE OF HEART

The next morning Chang has |

some second thoughts about his defection; tells Armstrong he wants to go back to the U.S. con- sulate but somehow gets the taxi driver to take them instead to the Chinese consulate. :

Apparently in Chinese . posses- sion is a tape recording of a statement Chang made to U-S. officers. How Chang was able to keep it is not made clear.

On arrival at the Chinese con- sulate, Chang leaps out. The marine sergeant leaps out after him, apparently in an attempt to recover the tape recording. In so doing the sergeant is captured, bound and held by the Chinese for six hours until released at the : request of Indian officials.

The U.S. charges this is a kid- napping of the marine, and China counters that the U.S. in effect kidnapped Chang.

. Perhaps both charges are ex- aggerated: Certainly there is no indication Chang was detained forcibly by the U.S. authorities, On the other hand, it is not clear how far the marine. sergeant

Ottawa Journal

The Canadian Federation of , Mayors and Municipalities has placed before the Prime Minister | and his cabinet a review, of the problems, mainly financial, con-

| fronting the cities of» Canada.

The Federation could not have found a more understanding and knowing body with which to dis- cuss the difficulties of raising money.

The brief is a quiet, temper- ate exposition of the cities’ dil-

emma, impressive not for its rhetoric, but for its reflective thought.

The special preblems of the

municipalities come-out* of the fact that the sources of their means and resources are narrow and inflexible. Of all levels of government, ‘the cifies perhaps start with the greatest handicaps in financing the services which historically they have ofiered and in meeting at the same time the grow

It may indeed be, as the May- ors’ statement suggests, that we are near the point where pro- perty owners are experiencing real hardship in paying their municipal taxes.

money against the future ‘which always brings more problems and makes those of the past look simple), their debentures at a competitive disadvantage on the money market.

The legal within which municipai borrowing must take place are payticuiariv damaging. Municipalities may not offer such attractive featur- es as having their bonds option- ally convertible (as are the Fed- eral Government's rctvent issne).

Happiness Is Our Business

LAYAWAY NOW

Every one of us—you, me, the guy next door—has a breakdown point. That was proven pretty conclusively in World War II.

Some of these breaking points will stand much more than oth- ers. But the point is that under enough pressure everyone is vui- nerable. :

SAME TROUBLES

Many types of stress are shar- ed by most executives. These in- volve business, family, envir- onment, even the worid situation.

Other-pressures are entirely in- dividualistic. These are feelings of indecision, insecurity, ucer- tainty, fear, and one which we don't like to recognize — inade- quacy.

Succumbing to these tensions doesn't necessarily mean that you ‘will wind up in an asylum. Breakdowns come in a variety of forms. « Z

DIFFERENT TYPES

Perhaps your family life will suffer, as in cases of divorce or separation. ‘Maybe you will become physically, exhausted and require a long rest. nm

Or perhaps this overburdened executive will turn to alcohol for solace. It’s a short trip from daily social drinking to fuilfled- ged alcoholism.

Some persons flee the source of their tensions simply by pack- ing up and taking off. Others be- come ‘physically ill. * And, of

WHAT TO DO?_

these tensions?

Well, the fiist thing to do is to admit they are present. Try to understand tiem, with psy chiatric help if pccessary. | Take at ieast one long vacation each year; .take two if it is at | all possible. No map is indispen- | sable—not the chairman of the

firm, no one.
