More Than A Myth

In his first interview after thirty-four years of open and Llndergroulld anti-Com- munist activity in Canada, Superintendent John Leopold of the Royal Mounted Police said Canadian people should be alert to the dangers they face. Communists are reported to have -lost 10.- 000 of the 18,000 members they had ill Canada in 1949, but the movement is now "stripped down to a hard core of men and women whose loyalty to Russia lakes prece- dence over everything else."

After thirty-four years of investigation. Supt. Leopold can hardly be accused of Red-baiting, the favorite expression of Communists and their sympathizers. His knowledge, which is also the knowledge of the national police force, reveals that Tim Buck is not the real leader of tile Com- munists in Canada. The real leaders arr known to the RCMP, but for obvious rea- sons they just aren't talking. They also know the ”underlings" ill the movement.

Supt. Leopold points out that the danger from Communists in Canada tics in their fifth column activities ill the event of war. Their numbers are not large cnougil to pre- sent any physical threat to Canada in either peace or war, but their existence in the country, alld their potential menace to our democracy should by no nmans be ta- ken as a myth.

Avoidable Hlghvay crashes

There is, says the Ottawa .lournal.' a de- pressing and friglltcnillg similarity ill the news accounts of many highway accidents. All too often when a head-on crash is re- ported, and there are deaths and heavy property damage, it is told that one of the drivers attcnlpted to pass another vehicle only to meet an oncoming car. or that the passing was attempted on a curve, at the brow of a hill, or in some situation where it was apparent a clear view ahead was im- possible. All too often neither driver lives to make the exact facts clear.

These avoidable crashes (they can hard- ly be called accidents) are mostly the re- sult of a combination of circumstances which highway experts have seen coming for years. Yet, despite their frequency, and the gruesome details which usually ac- company the news reports, it is apparent that many drivers will not pause to ab- sorb the obvious lesson. It is simply: never pass another vehicle unless there is a clear and unobstructed view ahead.

"The modern motor car," concludes the Journal, "has become a precision machine, capable of high speeds alld quick acceler- ation. The average highway remains an old-fashioned horse-and-buggy road, often narrow and with blind curves and sudden dips and hills. it was never planned to carry the dense traffic of today, nor veh- icles capable of the speed of the modern car. On the human side drivers have changed little and a great many seem in- competent, or refuse to accept the fact that they cannot drive today as they did years ago. They have not adjusted themselves to the'split-second decisions alld reactions now a necessary part of driving. Many persons who have studied the problem have come to the conclusion that the modern car has outstripped both the efficiency of the roads and the human capacity to react quickly to the emergency."

Pilgrimage To, Mecca

This month it is that. the annual Pil- grimage to Mecca, one of the fundamental rites of the Muslim religion, will take place, reports 'the Morocco News Bulletin. The Pilgrimage is not rigorously required of

-every Muslim, but every Muslim is sup-

posed to accomplish it once in his lifetime

gprovided he has the means to do so and llh health permits.

, In Morocco, due to the constant im- provement in transportation facilities and to the aid given by the administration in or- g the voyage, the number of Moroc-

,cghg.participating is yearly greater; this ' 9, it is expected that some 1500 pilgrims

leave the country. They will leave thil month, some by boat, some by some by bus . . . and, to be sure, as year, a certain number of hardy souls 1 .- on their way by foot: these will surely be in trouble before they I-lijaj frontier (last year, Egypt the tax for them and the French Jpelped them to get back).

In addition to those enrolled individually, there is a special del- egation sent, this year as each year, by the Sultan to effectuate the pilgrimage and to carry royal gifts to the Holy Cities and to King Ibn Saud; the delegation will be pre- sided by the pasha of Fes, Hadj Fatmi ben Sliman.

From Australia comes news of an air- port that has been built on the tiny Cocos Islands in the Indian Ocean in four months. The island is to be a stepping place for planes on new air services between Aus- tralia and South Africa. Building the air- field was a tremendous achievement for the Royal Australian Air Force. Thousands of tons of equipment and supplies were got ashore within 20 days, although there was no wharf to receive them. A runway ten thousand feet long was built of the coral which surrounds the island shore, and later 600 feet of dispersal space, ten miles of road, a jetty and buildings for the Austral- ian Department of Civil Aviation.

When Secretary of State William H. .Sewal'd bought the territory from. ltussla in 1867 for s7,200,000, many Americans thought the price too high and called the new pos- session "Seward's Folly". or 590,000 square miles "of icebergs and polar bears".

(Montreal Gazette)

Now that people are looking for- ward to another Coronation. there is much interest in looking back at the last. one. Such a long and complex and infrequent ceremony

error or hesitation.

It may be recalled that in the Coronation of George VI the Arch- bishop of Canterbury, Moat Rev. Cosmo Gordon Lang, was said to have fumbled with the Crown be- fore he placed it upon the King's hcnd. Indeed. some observers and conlmentators even said that it seemed for a moment that he might. drop it.

There is an inside story to this "fumbling". It has now been told in the new biography of Archbishop Lang by J.G. Lockhart (published by I-fodder and Stoughtonl.

The ceremony of placing the, Crown upon the King's head had been very carefully rehearsed. was noticed that the Crown had a jfl-ont and a back, though the dif- yfercnce was so slight as to be ' scarcely visible. The King. however. being anxious that everything should be done with strict accur- acy, had a very small piece of red thread placed across the front side of the Crown. Nobody in the vast gathering would ever notice this small piece of thread. but when the Archbishop picked up the Crown to place it on the King's head. he would be able to tell at a glance which was the front and which the hack.

Unfortunately, however. some of- ficial person, in making a hurried last-minute examination, happen- ed to come upon this bit of thread and at once picked it up and threw it away. When the great moment of the ceremony arrived. the Arch-, bishop picked up the Crown. He turned it one way and then the other.

To observers. it seemed as though the Archblsh was fumbling with the great,Cro in his nervous and uncertain fingers. and was even on the point of dropping it. Actually. he was only looking for the bit of thread, and when he did not find the thread on one side. he very naturally turned the Crown around the other way, looking for it on that side.

TREES NEC-l.ECTED

---r

"Some eighteen months ago, scvcrnl hundred pounds were ex- pended in planting trees along our sidewalks. Although the trees were not planted in a very scientific manner. yet they were protected by proper stands. A fair proportion of them escaped death. and the mischievous hands of boys and men. and last summer gave promise of one day contri- buting to the beauty and comfort of our metropolis.

”They were, however, wholly neglected-we believe not one in a hundred was secured on as to protect the bark from being in- jured. hy rubbing against the stands ln which the trees were ronfined, and the consequence ha: been nearly every tree has had the bark removed from it in such it manner all almost totally to destroy it. We would recommend the persons whose duty it was to look after the trees, it-ither to get some straw wisps. and bind them round the few trees that may not yet be beyond redemption. or

There were first of all the cat- tle, sheep, and horses, grazing quiet- ly and apparently contelltculy in the pastures and meadows. The al- most endless rows of potatoes. fields "standing so thick with corn that they laugh and sing”. To- gether, these commonplace things (commonplace to us. that is) make up a picture which seems to sym- bolize the largeese with which a benevolent Nature has endowed this little piece of land set down in the sea. It does something else, too. It brings to mind the hunger which even in this scientifically enlight- ened age stalks menaclngly across wide areas of the world. bringing all sorts of evil in its wake.

As one looks at our rich fields it seems incredible that. It mil very moment millions of young children are literally dying for want of breed. And yet it is so. The science which the modern world has made into a god has indeed done many worthy things as well as many un- worthy ones. But. somehow it has not yet been able to do the one thing heedful. It has not been able to assure each child its daily bread.

It is u long way from an is- land farm to the United Nations Headquarters. Nevertheless there is a connection them, for UN. food experts say that famine in still man's worst enemy. It. is even more devastating than war itself.

Will the time ever come when every human being on this earth will have opportunity to share in God's plenty for no other reason than that. he is A member of the hilmbll family and a child of God?

a o .

such were some of the thoughts that came to me yesterday as I looked out on the fields already almost white unto harvest. To be sure I see it almost every day but it is always a new picture. Each time I see in it something I had not noticed before. That pleases me. for when it man fails to see something new in familiar things it is a sign that his spirit is aging, whatever the umber of his bll'i7h- days may be. But when he does see a new tint in an old picture it means that. his spirit is still young and growing and he need not bother overmuch about the years that. have come and gone.

An entirely different sight but, in its own way, just as productive of thought. was that: of the young lad with his home-made rod and his can of worms. Almost always he makes his appearance when I am on my way to a fishing stream or after I get there. I am glad to
