RelIgous Tolerance

The Most Reverend Philip Carr- ington, Anglican Archbishop of Que- vbec, who is now in London attending the Lambeth Conference, recently preached in St. Paul's Cathedral. In the course of his sermon His Grace said this: “After 23 years as Bishop and Archbishop of Quebec I‘ can de- . voutly thank God for the courtesy, l kindness and understanding which ‘ 'have been accorded to us by. the bishops and clergy of the Roman Catholic Church and the general goodwill of the Provincial au- g thorities.” ' v

Archbishop Carrington went on to say that his diocese is a “very min- ute” one in a Province with several million French Canadians; and he wondered “whether there is anywhere

' else on the face of the earth where two races have lived together so suc- cessfully in mutual respect and af—l, ; fection.”

There are times—especially pre- ceding federal elections—when dem— agogues of both English-speaking and French—speaking Canada try to make

' speaks; and his words to the contrary effect will be welcomed by people of goodwill in both cultural traditions. A fine thing it is, too, for Canada as a. whole.

Defence Estimates

at Ottawa they were chided on‘sev- eral occasions by opposition critics for their reluctance to have high-ranking military officers, who were critical of defence policy, appear before the ap— propriate Commons’ committee and state their views. It was felt by the Opposition—rightly. we think—that such testimony would be of value to thevcommittee in probing costs and preparing recommendations.

» Now, however, the Conservatives appear to take a different view. Re- cently, when it was suggested that Lt. Gen. Guy Simonds, former Chief of the General Staff, and Maj.-Gen. W.H.S. Maclin, former Adjutant-Gen- eral, both of whom have been. critical of Government policy (leeral and Conservative) in defence matters, be

OTTAWA. REPORT

I v . PrOposed . Science Fair By Patrick Nicholson Special Correspondent for The'Gnai-dian

OTTAWA — Th e loudest. and long the only, voice in our Parli- ament urging greater attention to our scientific education and re- search, hasbeen that of the M.P. for Ontario’s “Chemical Valley" - Mr. J. W. Murphy,

'Many years ago, that Conser- vative M.P. frbm Sarni-a propos-

' ed the setting up of a parliamen-

' tary‘ committee on research. He repeatedly urged this. “Get that man out of my hair,” demanded the then Trade Minister C. D. Howe. ‘ ‘

Too much industrial research is unported as a finished U.S.A. product, declared Mr. Murphy. Too little use is made of scient- ific in Canadian industrial and government circles, he ins-ist- ed, with the result that there is little incentive for our youngsters to » undertake scientific training, and even less incentive for the few thus trained to remain in Canada.

The years have passed, and the sputuiks are passing overhead. But none of those sputuiks are “made in Canada.” ’

Even the short-sighted mockers can now see that Mr. Murphy was right. Therold war of today and tomorrow is being fought on drawing boards of industrial re- search laboratories. And in train— ing for this new cold war, we and indeed the whole free world are lagging disastnously behind the Russians, both in quantity and quality.

ASKS SCIENCE FAIR

Ever searching around for new means to stimulate interest in scientific education, Mr. Murphy’s alert mind has now lighted upon a new scheme. This would en: able every gadget-minded young- ster to strive for recognition as th superman of his (or her) h me town, ,even as the super—

, _

man of Canada, praised and re-,

warded for ingenuity and ‘inven— tiveness in designing and making working models of his favourite scientific gadget, whether it might be a Aspace ship, or a walkie-talk- is, or a booby-trap for teacher, or something called “X”, a mys- tery novelty never thought up be— fore.

The means proposed by Mr. Murphy to attain this worthwhile objective is wh at he calls a “Science Fair.” His idea is that his own comm unity, Sarnia. i should appropriately set the pat— tern for Canada. For SarnIia is the home of our greatest concen- tration of scientific industries.

At the fair, entries from all would be welcomed. Prizes would be offered for the most ingenious and the best-constru’cted models. Cost of construction of entries would not be a factor in the judg-’ ing: a clever idea fashioned out of scrap lumber woiild outrank a humde model incorporated into gleaming steel. '

Moy Prove AL Trogic Trio

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. Your have read a lot, I know, about smoking and cancer. Now let’s add another factor to this discussion — alcohol.

It has been shown that there is a high correlation between heavy consumption of alchol, when combined with heavy smok- ing, and development of cancers of the oral cavity and larynx.

SERIOUS HAZARD . .Dr. Ernest L. Wynder recent- ly told a meeting of the Ameri- can Cancer Society that for the heavy smoker who consistently drinks seven or more “shots of hard liquor each day, the risk of developing these cancers is 10 times as great for the per- son who smokes the same am- ount but drinks duly moderate-

It is difficult to determine al- cohol’s exact role in the pic- ture. We can’t say at this time whether alcohol alone can tiatc those cancers since the re- searchers have been unable as yet to finds sufficient number of heavy drinkers who do not smoke.

Yet -Dr. Wynder has some the- ories as to why excessive drink- ing of alcohol increases the nisk of certain cancers.

llt is ofltEn stated that alcohol acts directly upon the tissues,

'making them more permeable to

tobacco. Or, perhaps it acts sy- stematically by producing a nu- tritional deficiency which, in turn, induces tissue changes, making them more susceptible to' can- cer. v . '

The study also found that a re- latively high number of patients with cancer of the larnyx suffer- ed loss of teeth. I

Recent studies seem to indicate that the risk of developing lung cancer may be associated with the number of cigarets. consumed.

mer heat can sympathize with the residents of Azizia, a town in northwestern Libya.

On September 13, 1922, the mercury bubbled up to 136.4 de- g r e es Fahrenheit in Azizia’s shade - the highest temperature ever recorded under standard conditions. ~

The United States can boast of temperatures almost as high. At one time or another, the ther- mometer has climbed above 100 in every state of the Union. The highest reading was 134 degrees in Death Valley California, on July 10, 1913.

These records may soon be broken. Cilimatologists report the world has been getting warmer over the past 40 or 50 years.
