Father William Again

"You are old. Father William." the young man said: "but did you ever hear the like of the debate that's going on in the Legislature these dal's'.’ They say they‘re going to pry the liquor situation wide open. That means ruining all our young people with booze. filling our and churchyards. and making the government rich by forcing the‘ rest of the population to d rink themselves into prosperity. I don't understand it at. all.

; “As I see it." said Father \l‘il- liam. "it‘s as plain as a pikestaff. There's the forces of sin trying to make our people do their drinking out in the open—shamelessly—in (lilting-rooms. lounges and whatnot. instead of in the privacy of back al- leys and locked rooms. as we're ac- customed to. And there‘s the forces of; righteousness that are appalled at; the consequences this kind of be- havior is going to have on our pith- lic morals.

.“Pco1ile. they argue. can't be. stopped from getting drunk but there's no need of the government piishing it in front of them—and incidentally ruining the business of all the bootleggers in the Province. if! a thing is sinful. why do it in the open '3 they say.

'_ “We've been moving pretty fast sihce the Liberals changed the old Pi‘ohibition Act. first by introduc- ing tourists' scripts and then by authorizing the Commission to pelddle special licenses on the side. tol canteens and clubs that would keep their mouths shut and not al- low the i'iffraf in. Then the Tories wént further and allowed the ven- dors to sell more booze by the bottle. and loosened up the club liocnscs so that practically every~ body that wanted to guzzle in com— pany could do so without having to eat meals in the. process. as propos- ed now That allowed them to kccp their minds on their drinking. which isiwhat the forces of righteousness. in.our Legislature maintain is the only proper way to indulge in this, sinful practice. But Judge Trainoi' piit the kibosh on that.

' "Was it the same in Confedera- tion days. that we’re doing all the. celebrating about this voar." asked thy! young man.

:3 “That was before my time." said Father William. "But 1 must confess that I have gravo doubts a bout whether those. old fellows ever got into Heaven. despite all the. praises wo're giving them now That John A. Macdonald was certainly no model for a young man like you to take. after. Right whore our lawmakers are debating now. he and his cronies did quite a. lot of open I'll'Illklll". I've been told.

.“Why. they turned the Legis- lative Library into a regular bar- room—‘i‘efreshment room‘ they call- ed; it—and they had sherry. port and champagne along with more re- sp'ectable drinks like. rum. brandy arid gin. And there was no decent concealment at. all! The Governor. the Mayor. the Premier and the whole local shebang drank openly with the visiting delegates. and had what can only be described as a whale of a sinful time."

g“Outrageousl" exclaimed shbcked young man.

l"Funny thing. though." said his gi‘pndsire. “they all seemed able to hcfid their liquor and get on with thb business of confederating Can- subs next day. If they had any hang- oders it certainly wasn‘t from a aehse of sin. like you would think."

“What would they say to €115 goings on in the Legislature now?" asked the poisisiciii young man.

“TltnL's hard to say." replied Father William thoughtfully. “This was before the days of Prohibition and subsequent modifications. and they had no experience of the political kudos that could be made by championing its principles. But those old boys were politicians be- fore they became statesmen. you must rcniciiilicr. Thcy'd probably be doing as much foncc~strziddling and pussyfizoting as the best of them today,

“Anyway. thcy'i'e were tho l‘iitriarchs before the Flood. so to speak. Our drinking morals don't apply to them. young fellow. \l'c'i'c under a new dispen- st-itioii. and if ever you want to be a politician on the righteous side of this question. see that you don't forget it The place for the drink problem is 'Illthl' the carpet. where we've bcen sweeping it these. past years—not out in the open to the scandal of iill our good people!

Lodge Leads In Primary

American electoral practice dif- fers from a.an makes some- what confusing the references to New Hampshire’s Republican prim- ary which resulth in surprisingly strong support. for Henry Cabot Lodge. L'S. ambassador to South Vietnam. as presidential candidate. over the rival claims of Senator Barry Goldwater. Governor Rocke- feller of New York. Vice-President Richard M. Nixon. and others who are actively campaigning for the nomination.

The tradition of holding primar- ies in Connection with party nomi- nation: for the prosidency was be- gun nearly 60 years ago in Wiscon- soii. which will go through the rit- ual itsclf next month. on April 7. and which became the first state in the nation to adopt a law for the popular elcciion of delegates to .‘I national political convention. The. principle of tho dircct primary had been approved by the state's voters in a 1001 i'cfcrcnduni. In 1010.

Diarrhea

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen

Weaning was responsible for many of the acute diarrhea] dis- eases that plagued infants at the turn of the century. We ' know then what we know now about sanitation. the p r o p e r treatment of infections. and the stresses associated with weaning process.

These intestinal infect io n s and toddlers in past generations. In New York City in 1 example. the death rate fr 0 m diarrhea during the first year life was 5.603 per 100.000; years later. it was 45 per 100.~ 000. This still is much too hizh but is a great improvement over today's mortality rates this cause in underdeveloped countries.

We can credit our more favor-

communicable diseases. Babies obtain better and clearer food during the transition from breast milk to solids.

But diarrhea continues to be the leading cause of dea among infants in Central and South American nations such as Guatemala. Mexico. Brazil. and

as it was in the United Statcs. Canada. and Europe back in 1900.

A group at Harvard university school of public health has writ- ten about IllP role played weaning. especially in the poor- er countries. Diarrhea is most prevalent during the same gcn- oral ace period Isix to ill moti- thst in which the majority o 1‘ babies are weancd.

The condition 'IS morc scrioiis where food is sca (P an 1 to adult diets are lopsided or dcfic- ient in ccrtain elcmcnis. Othcr factors in this grim picture in- clude iiiadcquatc iiicdical carc. modern health facilities. sanita— _ lion. and education. | Diarrhea is more devastatin: in the malnourished who served contaminated food. Healthy childrcn usually not over a bout in a few days. Thc Harvard group notes also that acute intestinal diseascs afflict calves. kittens. baby pigs. stick- ling mice. and other lowcr ani- ma 5.

Weaning is deferred in many

seven. But come othci nourishment is given after the sixth month of life and this may be contaminated or too rich for the dIL‘f’SIlYf‘ pi'occsscs of t h 0 infant. While the complcicly brcastfed tot is rclativcly from diarrheal disease. this pro- tection is wcakcncd when he re- ceives filthy milk or other foods as supplcments.
