Queen Opens Parliament

It was indeed an historic occasion at Ottawa yesterday. one of such colour and pageantry as to eclipse anything heretofore witnessed in dur Federal capital. The thrilling mo- men! came when Her Majesty. seat- ed on her throne in the Senate Chamber. began her Speech: "Hon- ourable members of the Senate and honourable members of the House of Commons, I greet you as your Queen-together we constitute the Parliament of Canada."

The Speech emphasised the value of the Commonwealth a force for good in an unquiet world." It referred to plans under way for a Commonwealth trade conference; to this country's efforts in supporting the Colombo Plan. NATO.activities and the United Nations. It antici- pated legislation to increase old age pensions and pensions for the blind and for disabled persons, and to consider an increase in the scale df war veterans' allowances. It also referred to plans to provide greater stability in the prices of farm pro- ducts, and for the development of new markets; the provision of cash advances for western grain stored on farms: the securing of additional hcnefits to the fisheries industry, and national policies to enable all regions of Canada to share in the development of our resources.

Of particular interest to the At- lantic Provinces was the assurance of an immediate start on a program of more extensive development with greater facilities for the production and transmission of cheaper electri- cal power. Reference was also made to the Beachwood project in New Brunswick, the Saskatchewan River dam project and the joint power project on the Columbia River in British Columbia.

Important as were these govern- ment measures in the Throne Speech, it was Her Majesty's personal refer- ences which naturally elicited the keenest interest yesterday. Quoting the first Queen Elizabeth. she said: ”Though God has raised me high. yet. this I count the jewel of my Crown that I am raised with your love." She voiced the gratitude of herself and Prince Philip "for the warmth of loyalty and affection with which you have greeted us," and concluded with the wish: "On this happy day when we give thanks to God for all that He has bestowed upon us, I ask that he may bless and guide you."

Of special interest also was Her Majesty's broadcast on Sunday to the people, when she emphasized that she would be visiting the United States "as Queen of Canada." She and Prince Philip hoped to visit us more frequently in future. and to bring their children. She lookedkfor- ward particularly to being present when the St. Lawrence Seaway is opened in 19.39. and to travel more extensively through the country.

Besides the thousands who were present at Ottawa on this great oc- casion, many more thousands follow- ed the proceedings over television and radio facilities, and participated in the pleasure and excitement which the Royal visit has occasioned.

Mr. Pearson Honored

All our citizens will take plea- sure in the announcement that the lion. Lester B. Pearson, fonncr Min- ister of External Affairs for Canada. has been awarded the Nobel Peace

had the Department of External Affairs in 1928 Ind rose rapidly in the civil service. Appointed Cana- dian Ambassador to the United States in 1945, he returned to Ot- tawa as Under-Secretary of State,

in which capacity he represented

this country at meetings of the

United Nations, the North Atlantic

Treaty Organization and at other

international conferences. He was

chairman of NATO Council in 1951-' 52, and next year presided as Presi-

dent of the seventh session of the

U.N. General Assembly. His Govern-

ment portfolio he received in 1948,

and he has been continuously in the

public eye since that time. His life

has been dedicated to the cause of

world peace. and he is to be con-

gratulated most warmly upon this

latest recognition of his services in

this capacity.

More Aid To Communists

if it isn't one thing to damage American prestige among the non- white peoples of the world. it's an- other. News of the lawlessness dem- onstrated by Governor Faubus of Arkansas, when he called out Na- tional Guardsmen to keep nine Negro children from exercising their rights guaranteed by the constitution and recognized by the courts, had scarce- ly time to circulate in Asia and Africa when tidings of another in- cident of racial intolerance started on its course. This time it involved a high official of the new state of Ghana who was not permitted to drink a glass of orange juice at a restaurant in Delaware because of the color of his skin.

True, the President did his best to assuage the indignity by inviting the aggrieved man to breakfast in the White House. That was a fine gesture, indeed; but it will do little, if anything, to dissuade the non- white races from the view that Americans in general treat them with contempt.

Imagine the tremendous aid which such incidents give to the emissaries of Communism as they go about peddling their anti-American and anti-Westem propaganda among the peoples of Asia and Africa!

Canadian production of steel in- got has fallen considerably below that of last year. In September it came to 378,268 tons, 11 per cent less than in the same period in 1956. This was the 5th consecutive month- ly decline. For the 9 month period there was an overall reduction of 5 per cent from 1956 levels.

UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Beside The Seaside

By "onloolxcr" . Thomson Newspapers, London. England Bureau

"I do like to be beside the seaside" goes the old British mu- sic-hall song. Well. there have heen thousands of members of British Opposition (Labor! party beside the seaside during this

as! week, but hardly for the ollificntlon purposes the old song raves about. The l.abor Party was holding its annual ron- -

tcrence at h r I s h and gaudy I Brighton, just one hour from London on England's South

Coast. And in its brashness and gaudlness often the conference matched the place.

But it has been interesting to see how the party which. some disgruntled voters assert now, will be ruling Britain in I couple of years' time. carry on with the tide of public support in Bri- tain, if not actually going with them, at least flowing against the Conservatives headed by! Prime Minister Macmillan at the moment.

Anl it has been more than in- teresting to see how one of the most interesting men in the La- bor Party. "Nye" Bevan from the valleys of Wales is shaping. Bevan for decades was one of the fleriest members of the par- ty. clinging to the extreme left while his colleagueswantcd to moderate their leftlshness in vlow of public opposition to it. Not so. in those days. the bulky. chubby-faced Welshman.

CHANGE OF APPROACH

But now, gradually. more is I change coming. As well Is keeping in with the extreml-:15 in his party, Nye wants to in- gratiste himself with the nod- crates as well. lnsteId of breath- ing fire Ind brimstonc when- ever he getI up to speak, he pours out Just-as-etfective though softer-sounding sarccasm. Butt he retains his guts.

it took guts for instance. to; get up It the conference to warn some delegates Ibout the danger of Britain banning the if-bomb on I unilIterIl basis. withoutl reference to her Illies. Getting

up and declaring that he had reached his decision after what he called "a lot of agonised thin- king" Bevan said that if Britain did drop out of the H-bomb field 'Lhe world would be polarised be- tween the Soviet Union and the United States."

Bevan is already earmarked for the job of Foreign Secretary uh:-n the Labor Party get back into power. Some day - for he is still a fairly young man so far as politics go -- he may well he Prime Minister. It is as if he has started a campaign now for the job. Lrying to push aside his cxtcmism of the thirty poli- tical years behind him and con- vincing the moderates that the big bad wolf at their door will

not eat them.

IINCREASING THE PENSIONS

Also discussed at Brighton was an increase in old age pensions. and endorsement for I schune of ”back door nationalisation" -- acquirlng shares in privlte com- panies.

Even the Labor Party extreme left clement now seems to be thinking over here that the na- tionalisation they achieved in the years from 1945 to lwl is enough. True. they still want to n.-itinnalise - or. rather. re-na- tionalise -- the road haulage. iron, nnd steel businesses but the bulk of their "straight" as- iionalisation has been seen through Parliament safely.

Now the shcme is for getting the shares of the industrial gl- ants through the stock mank A instead of taking over the firms on block.

On the whole. it. wII fascinat- ing to wIt.ch the goingnon-down at Brighton. Not I single dele- gate. from the Labor Party or from the Trade Unions. was re- ported swimming in the chill, late-September waters of the Eu- glls-h Channel.

TORY'S TURN

FOUR CLUI-is

Here, then. are four clues which might indicate that an older member of the family has hearing troubles:

l. A poor risponso to casual remarks

2. Difficulty in knowing what persons are saying when they call from adjoining rooms.

3.'Failure to respond as well as previously to doorbell: or buuers.

4. Failure to understand II well as formerly at the theater.

Watch for these signs in your- self and in older members of your family.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

A.J.A.: I am is and have I rapid pulse beat. What could be the cause of this?

Answer: A rapid pulse indi-

cute; I rapid heartbut. for which there are many causes. it may be due to the presence of some mild infection. such II II found in the teeth. tonsils. na- sal sinuses or to some disorder of the heart muscle.-. or the heart valves.

Rapid heartbeat is also found in various nervous disorders. such as hysteria. It may occur in overweight conditions or as I result of excitement.

High blood pressure, toxic goi- ter or excessive secretions from the thyroid gland may cause an increase in the rate of the heart- beat.

Then, too. the condition known as soldiers heart is also accom- panied by I rapid heart rate. Some indivlclunls normallv have I heart rate of about too beats per minute.
