Not Quite Bankrupt
With the publicity that has been given Prime Minister Pearson’s de- clared intention to get Canada’s economy “going” and to restore confidence in Canadian affairs, one gets the impression that the Liberal leader has stepped in just in time to prevent the country from falling into bankruptcy. What on earth would we have done if he hadn't providentially succeeded in ousting that man Diefenbaker before he wrecked our whole economy! Con- servatives can be pardoned for feel- ing annoyed at this line of argu- ment. It is simply not true, and now that the election is over it should be relegated to the category of myths where it belongs.
The Ottawa Journal cites some official figures in this regard, which Canadians should take pride in re- calling. These figures show, beyond dispute, that when Prime Minister Diefenbaker handed over the gov- ernment to Mr. Pearson he pre- sented him with a house in good or- der. He left him with a national production in 1962 which had climb- ed eight per cent to a peak of $40.4 billion—the greatest increase ach- ieved by any Western country, and the biggest income ever earned in history by a. country with a popu- lation of 20,000,000 people.
He left him with a country which, after years of trade deficits, had at last achieved a favorable trade balance. A country which, on the testimony of President Ken- nedy, had achieved a greater price stability than any other Western industrial nation. A country whose reserves of gold and US. currency had been brought from a critical level to $2,700 million—the greatest reached in years.
He left him with a country in which, during 1962, trade had reached an alltime high; in which manufacturing had jumped by 8 per cent, construction by 8.2 per cent, business capital investment by 4.8 per cent, outlays for new machinery and equipment by 8.6 per cent, and consumer spending by five per cent.
These are the facts officially. They refute the theory that the Lib- erals have inherited a broken-down Canadian economy and must strive to “get it going” again. The Diefen- baker government committed its sins of omission and commission, as other administrations have done, and it has answered for them. But the figures are there, and it is a disservice to Canada to belittle them. There will be lots of scope for Mr. Pearson’s talents in bettering the record, if he can; let him concen- trate on that. So for as we in the Maritimes are concerned particu- larly, the record will take some beating.
“Conquered” Again
The scaling of Mount Everest by a two-man American team on Wed- nesday is not a unique achievement; it was done before by a British ex- pedition in 1958 and by a Swiss team in 1957. But it will remain one of the most difficult of the world’s toughest jobs. and this week’s successful climbers can be sure of their niche in mountaineer- ing fame.
The colossus of all mountaine— 29.028 at its highest peak—is climb- able for only a few weeks in spring. At other-times, the weather ranges from bed to worse—blinding snow, cold of minus 50 degrees, winds of 150 miles an hour. Seven assault comps had to be constructed at various lanes on the mountain’s

southeast ridge before the final as- cent could be attempted. Near the end of 'March, the Americans estab- lished their main base camp and depot at about 17,000 feet, and wait- ed their chance. The safari consist- ed of 19 expert climbers and scien- tists led by a retired British army colonel, with hundreds of porters and other assistants.
A main objective of the expedit- ion is to study the effects of stresses on the human s y s t e m. Men‘s minds and bodies, at four or five miles above sea level, undergo the roughest physical punishment encountered in any form of‘ prolong- ed, deliberate endeavor short of com-~ bat. The climbers deteriorate physi- cally and psychologically from the bitter cold, exhaustion, dehydra- tion, and lack of oxygen. In the words of one Himalayan veteran, “On Everest, it is an effort to cook, an effort to talk, an effort to think, almost an effort to live.”
The patterns of physical and psy- chological change are being sub- jected to close study in this adven- ture. Tape recordings are being taken, for analysis later, of the climbers’ attempts to communicate with each other under such condit- ions. Ice formations will also be studied, as well as the sun’s radia- tion at levels higher than these measurements have ever been taken before on the earth’s surface.
The expedition will yield rich scientific data. But for the moment, it is the romantic aspect of the ex- ploit that grips the world’s atten- tion. And rightly so. For its de- mands on human courage, daring, initiative and stamina, there are few assignments more challenging than that of “conquering” Mount Everest.
A Commendable Move
An educational measure of far- reaching importance was announced the other day by Northern Affairs Minister Arthur Laing on behalf of the Federal Government. It was to the effect that the Government is preparing a $10,000,000-a-year sup- port program for higher education in Canada. Under this plan, 10,000 scholarships of $1,000 each will be offered each year to students across the country.
Mr. Laing noted that this is the first major move by a Federal Gov- ernment into the education field, which under the British North America Act lies mainly in the sphere of provincial activities. It is aimed at reducing future unemploy- ment by education and training future generations for the age of automation. Details have yet to be worked out, and the provinces have yet to be consulted on the plan.
Mr. Laing was speaking in his capacity as a member of the Treas- ury Board which controls the fed- eral budget and the seven-man economics committee which deals with unemployment. His statement, made at a press conference in his Vancouver constituency, was no doubt aimed at getting public re- action in an informal way before the formal consultations are initiated.
We shouldn’t think that in this part of Canada there will be any doubt as to the reaction. It should be 100 per cent favorable. We need all the aid we can get from Ottawa in meeting our education require- ments, and this scholarship plan is certainly a move in the right direction.
EDITORIAL NOTES
The Department of Finance re- ceived conscience money th rec days running last month. All mail- ed in Ottawa, the payments were $30, postmarked April 13, at 7 pm; $20, postmarked April 14, at 7 pm, and $10, postmarked April 15, at 10 pm. “Perhaps the approach of this year’s tax deadline reminded the senders of past (sixes unpaid,” says the Ottawa Journal. "Or could it be that they were making amends in advance for this year’s offences?"

For the first time in French history a. woman chef has achieved the highest culinary distinction in France. Mme. Brazier of Lyon has received this year three stars in the Michelin Guide. There are only 11 restaurants in the whole of France which have been a w a r d e d this honor. Five of them are in Paris and one each in Saulieu, Lee Baux, Novas, Talloim, Avnllon, and Vienne. But every one of these has been utebliehed and is run by men.

BRITISH COMMENTARY
The Problems‘Of The Middle East
United Kingdom Information Service
The opening months of 1963l have seen rapid political chang-l es in the Middle East. in Iraq.; General Qasim. whosc rule had, led the country into a curiously isolated position, has bccn ovcr-1 thrown and succcodcd by n cw leaders who are trying to make a fresh start in solving both in- ternal and international prob- lems. In Syria too. there has been a sudden change of regime which has thoroughly shaken up the political kalcidoscopc. Both these upheavals seem to have been product-d by internal forc- es, not by outside inlcrfcrcnce.
In the chcn. last year's re- volution produced no such rapid solution. The country has re- mained paralysed by tho contin- uing conflicl hctwccn the new Republican Government in Sauna and the Royalist ‘fOI‘CCS loyal to j the deposed Imam Badr. Thex prolongation of the struggle hasn been at least in part due to out- sidc factors- the large - scale, military aid given to the chef side by the Egyptians and the; political support givcn to (hcf other by Saudi Arabia.
Yet anothcr new clcmcnt in the Middle East is the emergence in north-west Africa of indepen-i dent Algeria with an active and energetic govcrnmcnl still busy formulating its forcign policy and its exact rclations‘hip with the rest of the Arab world. ;
tish wish to support one side in the conflict. 0n the contrary, the British Government’s po icy thoughout the conflict has been one of non — interference and non-intervention.
Nevertheless, as long as the Yemen was torn apart by its own political feud and by inter- Arab rivalries, the British jud- ged it wrong to decide in favour of one side. It now seems pos- sible that with United Nations aid there may be an en of out- side intervention, leading to a settlement of the internal con- flict; and this could open the way to a restoration of normal rela- tions between Britain and the
emen. ARAB UNITY MOVEMENT
Apart from these revolution- ary. upheavals inside Arab countries, the most important and interesting development has been the movement towards un- ion between Egypt, Syria and Iraq. was, of course, the up-
an Egyptian - Syrian - Ir a q union have had to deal with two major problems: first how far was the leadership of Egypt and of President Nasser personally to be accepted as the corner- stone of the new structure: next. what was to be the future of the 33th or renaissance politi- cal movement in Iraq and Sy- ria which, though strongly na- tionalist and strongly champion- ing the idea of Arab unity, was at odds with the whole-hearted an". exclusively pro - Nasser ele- ments
The Cairo negotiations have been concluded apparently in ag- reement on a fairly centralized form of federation with Egypt in the leading role. However, the final balance within the Fed- eration will probably not be settled for some months. The British are watching the whole movement with great interest-
Skin Weal Causes Vary
By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dollen
HIVES. (urticaria) is caused, most frequently by foods, with fresh berries. spices, chocolate, fish, and nuts heading the list. But there are other origins of these wheels. Many victims waste time trying to find the offender by eliminating one food after another or undergo- lng skin or blood tests that ore of questionable value.
The outbreak may follow in- haling animal dander, per- fumes, or chemicals such u D mes and
DT. Emotion parasites su ch inworm must be considered. Some indi- viduals break out when they take certain medicines or vac- cines and here the cause is ob- vious.
Physical factors also are im- portant; especially w h e n the eruption comes on after expos- ure to heat, cold, sunlight, in- jury, or pressure on the skin. And. to complicate the picture. bacteria play a role in some in- stances. particularly those con- fined to focal infections of the teeth or tonsils.
Urticaria is well named be-
cause the word means "to urn." At one time the con tion was called “nettle rash."
which also is apropos. The wheels are red, warm, elevat- ed, itching lesions that assume m an y sizes and shapes. They often are located under cou- strictive clothing but may ap- pear elsewhere, including the membranes of the mouth, lips, and throat. Giant internal hives have closed off the wlndplpe and larynx.
It may be that hives develops along the intestinal tract and that some migraine headaches stem from an urticarlal process in the outer lining of the brain. These possibilities are difficult to prove
Various ointments and drugs are available to relieve burn- ing and itching. The real an- swer is to prevent recurrences by finding and removing the cause. This is not easy in chro- nic urticaria of psychosomatic origin; here, resentment or other emotional upset acts as a trigger. Treatment is compli- cated by the fact that most vic- [ms of hives refuse to accept psychic factors as the causa- tive agents in these eruptions.

Ouch! Here Comes That 'Day Agoii
The older a man gets the greater becomes his convic- tion that years are not the true measure of age. The same proposition is accepted much earlier in life by females. who
n telling fairy tales about their age, or flatly falsifying it. almost as tool as they are xble to talk.
Both sexes. of course, have the same basis for object- ing to having how old they are calculated chronologically and in no other terms. The num- ber of years a person has liv- , ed, after all. tells very little about the state of the person who has done the living -- how he feels and looks, what use he is able to make of his fa- culties, or his over - all con- tinuing effectiveness as a hu-
g.
But it is only the ladies. bless them, who proceed confident- ly as they “adjust” their age figures to suit themselves. Men
are much more given to say- '
mg: “Oh, my age is so-and-so (and to tell llhe truth about ill), but I don't really feel that od."
IN THE PRIME -
Of course there are excep- lions. One editor I used to know always refused to disclose his
. The only thing he'd concede. right up to the time of his death, was that he had entered his “late middle age." Death came to him when he was 77, so he did a pretty good job of stretching those “mid- dle” years.
Another way of confusing the issue was used last month by another acquaintance of mine in the long ago: Ed Lahey, head of the Washington Bur- eau of the Miami Herald and the other Knight newspapers.
Some published reference was made to Ed as “dean of Washington correspondents" and he swiftly and healedly re- jectcd the description.
"Nonsense," he ret o rte d. "Why, I'm' in the prime of my senility."
It is a description I may
soon have to consider
ing, for Ed Lahey' adopt- e mine. and birthday again by the time this column
pears. And I' am inclined prefer being “in the prime" of
anything, even senillty, to be. ing tagged as "near the end of the line" in something else even though it is better. '
MAKING PEACE
An 3 no matter what new description may he drew- ing near from the offing, I’ve generally managed to keep on good terms with whatever has been brought to me to date by the encroachments of age. on, «there was a “small unpleasant. ness" late last year when sickness hit, but I’m grsdual. 1y making'peace even with the lessons it brought.
Among other things. I keep on finding increasing mean- ing in the point of a most per- ceptive letter I received last January from H. Barlow Bird.
Freetown, in which be men- tioned having met many per- sons who have suffered various kinds of heart attacks a n d strokes, and added: “All had at least one thing in common: Time took on a new meaning."
Perhaps, though. it is an old mean g — the only one that ever was ‘ truth— but a new understanding that is taken to time by those who have been stricken.
THE RIGHT MEASURE
All there is to time, no mat- ter how much of it is made available, lies in the values that it can be made to pro- duce. No more than age can those values be measured by the calendar. It is not the amount of time put at a man's disposal, but how he fills it. period after period as it un‘
folds, that determines its meaning and wort .
eanwhile, as I again say. "happy birthday to me." I
have to add that if where I've landed is senilin (the very prime of it, mind you), I like ii. fine.
It’s Splendid Fun, Just Finding Out
On the basis of the way life has worked out for me, and after trying to take a long
ac into the past, I think that the richest treasure I carried out of my childhood was the realization that find- ing things out can be a lot of fun.
Soon afterward, it became my job to try and find things out, to pursue facts and the understanding of facts, first as a reporter and later as an edi- tor, and I've never éarned my living in any other way. Yet nothing ever has dulled that legacy from childhood -— the feeling that it is a joyful thing, the most exciting sort of pleasure and not just a job, to find things out.
It is a legacy that became built into me, as I've mention- ed in this column before, be- cause my childhood home was one in which it was made just as natural to follow the rule of “look it up" as it was to eat breakfast.
ALMOST AUTOMATIC
The dictionary came to the dinner table along with the fa- mily. T, ere were two en- cyclopnedias — father's, his study, a another for “the boys," in the living room. It was sort of a family game, and it became almost automa- tic, to make sure that none of us ever met a word or a sub- ject.that was new to us with- out trying to learn something about it. and, if possible, mas- tering it.
Well, I am recalling these things today, because th ey help explain the truly enor- mous amount of pleasure I got out of a small event this week.
In behalf of The Guardian and The Evening Patriot, and through the generosity of En- cyclopaedia Britannica of Can- ada Ltd.. I had the privilege of presenting sets of the Bri~ tennlca Junior to the Rehabili~ tation Centre, the Provincial Sanaforlum, Sherwood Hospi- tal, and the Cerebral P a l sy Centre: and a set of Encyclo- paedie Britannica to River- lide.
There are no better tools that can, be made available to questing minds. It is expected that many of those In the in- stitutions which have received them,‘ where their handicaps have cut them mm many of the advantage. available to
most of us, will get particu- lar value out of these tools.
It will be a splendid result. it seems to me, if even just one young mind, or one recov- ering mind at Riverside, is helped in the direction of dis- covering the satisfactions that can be achieved through find- ing things out — is encouraged to experience some of the de- lights that are possible through the mind.
The presentation of these encyclopaedias something like $1,000 worth of them, I imagine — became possible becaUSe those who turn out the Encyclopaedia Britannica co- operate in many ways with newspaper people.
While moving to new offices recently the firm came on a number of sets in storage which were complete and in perfect condition except for the fact that the covers of a few of the volumes had become slightly marked in handling. Rather than attempt to dispose of them, the publishers wrote to several editors, including me, and offered them as gifts for the newspapers to hand along to suitable institutions. WHERE THE THANKS G0
It was through The Guar- dian and The Evening Patriot that I became able to. obtain the five sets distributed here. The final thanks, of course. flow to the people at Encyclo- pnedia Britannica.
Come to think of it, though feelings of friendship have been flowing backward and forward between the Britan- nica people and newspaper people for do long by now that they scarcely need to be ex- pressed. Certainly I cannot re.
her over working for a newspaper where the Briton. nca was not Accepted as “part
of the institution."
As for me, I regard the work as something more inti- mate than that —,more than an institution —- more than a fine set of tools -— more than a splendid publication. -
‘Why, to me the Encyclopae- die Britannica has become al- most literally an extension of my own right arm, and of my mind, just about a part of me. and I couldn't imagine doing my work without it.
