The Happy Warrior

We extend our felicitations today | to Premier Shaw on his. 78th birth- day anniversary. As the Irish say, “May_his shadow never grow less!” If there's anything in the Gaelic to” express that grand old sentiment, it’s | what: we'd like to be saying to the | man this day, it is. He’s an Islander of whom we're all véry proud.

That goes for the Grits as well as the Tories,.though they have to be careful about how they say it lest it be misunderstood in the. next elec- tion campaign. But barring the polit- ical shortcomings they see in him, they’ve- always .been. pretty fair .in conceding that he is indeed “a man of parts.”

- He got into the political arena at an age when other men were creep- ing out of it and taking to their slip- pers and the fireside, a cozy nook and a bedtime toddy to warm their bones. Some said at that time that he could never stand the pace, that he’d fold up in a year or so under the burden of so many responsibilities. But it’s been his younger associates that have found HIS pace a killing one. “Grow old along with me,” he keeps telling them, “the best is yet to be!” But one has to have a special gift for this kind of thing, and it takes-a lifetime of practice in the fine art of living to bring it to fruition. ‘

Premier Shaw is still sturdily pur- suing his objectives, and as he-passes the 78th milestone he’s as unwinded as when he set out. What is the sec-

\

cloistered virtue”. which shuns the contest where the garlands are to be

tured for and relished as it comes; ’ “the potluck of the day,” he calls it, “the strong present tense” in which Vy we are always at the meridian. _ That doesn’t mean, of course, that one shouldn’t profit by experience as

- unabated zest. To hold the same views in age_as we did in youth, says R. L.

“of an unteachable brat, well birched but none the wiser.” Oh, no! The true wisdom, is to be always season- able; “Ripeness is~all,”—(we’re into

but still very good poet of the. Vic- torian age expressed it: “With years a richer life, begins, The spirit mellows: Ripe age gives tone to violins, Wine, and good fellows.” In congratulating the Premier on this occasion, may we tender also a

mate, Mrs. Shaw? He would be the first to: acknowledge her preeminence above all. the prizes that life has vouchsafed him.

Historic, Achievment

Now_ it’s part of history—man’s most significant and exciting space adventure which reached its climax Saturday when Gemini 7 astronauts Borman and Lovell rade their meteoric dive -hack to earth after a record 14 days in orbit, long enough. to have made two voyages to the moon—spending a full day on.the

through with no known ill effects. Their splashdown was made in the

Gemini 6 astronauts Schirra and Staf- ford parachuted into on Thursday after the rendezvous with Gemini 7 the day before.

This most spectacular of all dis- Plays in spaceship handling was, of course. much more than that. It marked an important new line of spaceflight development, paving the wav for the forthcoming Apollo trip.

astronauts to carry out missions that involve two or more ships or actual linking of ships. It will also be es- sential to the development .of an or- bital rescue service which would

ed if their retrorockets were to fail to fire. So far no astronauts have been

stranded in orbit as a result’ of space- |

craft malfunction, but there was a moment when Lt. Col. Glenn’s first orbital flight produced doubts of re- covery. If, as has been predicted by

one’space expert, there will be more. than 280 nonmilitary flights into or-

bit by 1985, rescue operational tech- nique could. be very important. Data of vital importance to future

Prk For Another Term As expected, General de Gaulle

has been elected for another term in |

yesterday’s presidential contes t.in

France. The. question now is whether |

he, is prepared to modify his more extreme policies which were subject to so-much criticism during the cam-

paign. and which lost him-the overall -, majority in the previous week’s vot- |

ing to which he had confidently look- ed forward. There is some hope that on one issue, at least, he has learned something from the struggle.

This concerns his rigid stand |

against British membership in the

European Common Market. Much has |

changed sincé he slammed this door on Britain two years ago. The Franco- German alliance, which de Gaulle hoped would mature free of “Anglo- Saxon” influence, is. dormant, if not dead. Commonwealth trade obstacles

no longer seem: a. formidable barrier, |

inasmuch as a number of Common- wealth countries have already con- cluded’ separate trade arrangements with the Common market.

campaign, as to express a certain amount of sympathy for Britain’s Common Market aspirations. He

might now be prepared to allow.

British membership provided that the other five Common Market na- tions—most. of whom have long favored British entry as ‘a counter- weight to France—agreed to abandon their goal of a tightly knit political entity. De Gaulle favors a loose com-

pact of sovereign states.

As for his other foreign policies,

y have found more support from the left wing than from the body of French voters. Whether he is pre- pared to shift his course for. this rea- son is a moot question.

“King Kero’’ was the darling of the petroleum industry until the turn of the century. It il luminated almost every home in the United States. Then the electric light esclipsed the pic- turesque lamps, and the gasoline engine made it a second- rate fuel. By 1911 gasoline was out- selling kerosene.
