The eighteenth century Spectator Papers. of Addison and Steele contain a descriptioni of a citizen of London who was so alarmed at the political situation in Turkey that he neglected his own affaiis and brought his family to the brink of starvation. is a lesson in that little episode which may, explain some of the phenomena observable in contemporary affairs in Canada.

Politicians and a good many publicists devote a great deal of attention to what is likely to happen in the present menacing international situation. CBC broadcasts the opinions of self-styled experts who profess to provide us with the answers to such questions as "Will there be a truce made in Kaesong next week or next year?", "Is there a Chinese-Russian con- spiracy to delude or exhaust the West'.7", "Is Mao's breed of Communism dictated by the Kremlin, or is he an oriental Tito?", "Is there a strong underground movement in Poland and the Balkans, or is this only wishful thinking?",

Eternal vigilance, it has been said, is the price of liberty. The liberty and free-' dom, political and economic, of the people, of Canada, depends much more directly upon what happens in Ottawa, or Prince Edward Island or Charlottetown, than upon events in Moscow or Peiping or even Wash- ington. Citizens who seek escape from the responsibilities of eternal vigilance in mu- sing preoccupation with foreign affairs have no one but themselves to blame if liberty itself becomes tarnished and circumscrib-

Port cliurchlll Neglected

The Regina Leader-Post complains that only three ships have loaded wheat at Port Churchill since the shipping season opened in July. It states that if more ships were sent to the Northern port at regular in- tervals, so that port facilities would not lie idle for days on end, a much greater vol- ume of grain could be shipped through the Bay, perhaps up to 50,000,000 bushels com- pared with the 8,000,000 .bushels expected to move by that route this year.

It may be. remarks the Ottawa Journal, that it is not possible. to switch sea-going vessels from other runs and duties to the Northern port on short notice, the light of the present emergency. But Churchill's grain elevator and the connect- ing railway were built at great expense to the-Canadian taxpayer and if, as the Leader-Post suggests, these facilities are not being used efficiently then there should be an official explanation.

But the Citizen instances how margarine prices have gone up since this commodity was first introduced, and suggests that horse- meat is even less likely to offer a substan- tial saving to the consumer, since supplies are limited.

Successful treatment of three of the major venereal diseases by terramycin. wide-range antibiot- ic. is described in a group of five new clinical studies by leading United States physicians.

In one series of 177 cases of gonorrhea. a primary cure rate of 92.6 per cent. was obtained by Dr. Louis T. wright and a'group of associates at. Harlem Hospital, New York. N. Y. giving terramy- cln by mouth. "Highly gratifying" results were obtained with the drug when given to 20 patients suffering from lymphoglranuloma venereum, a virus-caused vener- eal malady which has hitherto been "unsatisfactory and discour- aging to treat," the same doctors say. similar experience with a total of 4.3 cases of granuloms in- guinale. a third venereal infection. is also reported by this and anoth- er research team.

"The discovery of antibiotics with such remarkable spectra and ease of administration brings

disease within the realm of possi- bility," the wright group. in re- porting on their studies, told the Symposlum on Recent Advances in the Study of venereal Diseases held in Washington, D. C.

Gonorrhea. in particular. is one of the most. prevalent. trouble- some and ancient of human af- flictions. Its incidence and dis- tribution are unaffected by geog- raphy, climate, season. age. race or sex.

Dosages of one gram and of two grams of terramycin produced equally good results. There were only 13 relapses.

GRACE CHURCH OPENED

"The 2nd Methodist Church was opened on Upper Prince Street for divine service yesterday. It is a small but neat edifice. in Gothic slyle. with mullloned win- dows and pointed gable roof- lhirty-six by eighty feet. and two storeys high. On the lower flat. there is 21 small room for a library. and a large room intended for a Sunday School. but now used for public worshipas well. The lat- ter is thirty-four feet wide. sixty- elght feet long. sixteen feet six inches high. and contains sitting accommodation for four hundred persons. The upper storey is di- vldecl into five large class rooms twenty-five by fifteen feet, and eleven feet high. There are no pillars in the lower room. The whole of the ceiling is supported by trusses running through the partitions separating the rooms above. The building is well vent- ilated. It is to be heated by means of a furnace in the basement. and there is to he a "lift" thence to the upper rooms for raising hot tea. etc. in case of social gather- ings. We are also informed that it is proposed to add in a few years. a church and spire to the south side of the building, so that when the design is com- pleted. the part lately construct- ed will be. as it were. a transcept fit the whole structure. Mr. Ro- bert Fennell is the builder; Messrs. Sterling and Harris. the arch- itects. The work of both has been credilahly done."

Once they called it the cup that cheers. Now it's a national peril. That's the opinion of Sir Alan Herbert. recalling a speech he made in 1945. Said he: "All day long workmen are interrupted by tea. So are offices. workshops. docks and ships. I have seen it all through the war." Before the war we each drank six cups :1 day. Now we go through eight. No one de- nies that tea is a grand thing. What. would the British army have done without its cup of chah? Ev- ery vehicle had its dlxle. And ev- ery stop was brew-up time. But tea was not allowed to interrupt the job.

Government censors have mm. ed in on the Bible in Communist. dominated Hungary. A new print- ing of that work, sponsored by the Hungarian Presbyterian Church, was combed over by the censors who eliminated the words: "Thy Kingdom come" from the Lord's Prayer. The official reason given was that "it is dangerous to the children's morale to give them the impression that a perfect regime had not yet arrived. or was com- ing only in the vague i'ui.ure.” The only good thing to be said about this act of perversion is that a re. gime so weak that it cannot even permit boys and girls to say: "Thy Kingdom come" is a regime that cannot last.
