Cause For Reioicing The United Ix'utions' tale OI W06 changes its emphasis so frequently these days that it is risky to specu- late on what m'iv happen in any particular problem from one day to another. But at the time of WI'It'lll2 it is beginning to look as though the Israelis are goirg to win out in their argument with the UN. over the situation that twists in the Gulf Of Aqaiia and thc (iaza strip. For sev- eral weeks it has been almost sick- ening to see the pressure which a large st-gmcnt of the world organi- zation. aided and abetted by the Secrotary-(icneral, Mr. llammarsk- jold, was bringing to bear on the only free and democratic state in the Middle East in an attempt to mollify the dictator of Egypt and his co-conspirators against Israel's sovereignitv. But the Israelis, to their everlasting credit, have stood firm in their dcmrmd for a reason- able assurance of protection against their enemies once their forces were b'ith(lrawn behind the 19 i9 armistice line.

Every coiiceivalile threat was thrown In lsra:l's direction; and at one stage it seemed that the United States was prepared to throw her to the wolves, as the price for gaining oil monopolies and the flattery of Arabian despots. It is clear now that only rising anger In Congress and across the nation halted that im- pending act of shame.

No one will pretend that Israel has been blameless in the disputes and tensions which have kept the Middle East In turmoil for several years. But, surely. no fair observer can fail to see that Israel has been goaded beyond measure by neigh- bors whose chief aim is her total destruction as an independent and democratic state. No fair observer can fail to note the discrimination she has had to endure at the hands of UN. officials. If today, thanks to

their own fortitude and courage, sraclis can see a glimmer of hope that their rights will be respected. - 9 free world should rejoice; for a VICl0T.V. though it may be only a partial one, has been registered for free men everywhere.

; Aiding The Communists t Mr. John Foster Dulles (strange how that man's name crops up so often!) is, of course, as anti-Com- munist: as any man living. Every now and again, however, he is not gbovc giving the Communists some- thing to gloat about. His refusal to allow American newspaper reporters to travel to Pclping is a case in point. lie says that his refusal is governed by the fact that Chinese pfficials have intimated that they would release the few American prisoners they hold If the United States would let reporters go and sec conditions for themselves. This is too much like blackmail to suit Mr. Dulles. He will therefore have hothing to do with it. i Whatever validity there may be Ior this view (the Americans who tire languishing in Chinese prisons probably won't think too much of it) the Chinese themselves are say- ing that it is merely an excuse for eeping American newsman from ob- taining a good report at first hand pf the Communist regime. This, of

New Hshing Gadget

Now comes wold that an electio- nic device will soon be brought to the aid of fishermen, both those who hunt on the seas and those who cast a lure, or even on occasion a piece of bait, in lakes and streams. The conti-ivance works simply enough. It is merely set down in the water and, instantly, it tells whether fish are in the vicinity and whether the school be large or small. It also re- veals the type of fish, their size and. presumably, their eagerness or re- luctance to match their wits against those of their pursuers. In short, once the gadget goes into general operation-it is still in the experi- mental stage-unccrtainty in the fishing business will be a thing of the past. No doubt, the device will be a boon to commercial salt-water fish- ing: for a large part of a fishing crew's time is taken up in weary and often unprofitable searching. But for trout fishermen? No. a thou- sand times no; except, of course, for that small and unenlightened few to whom a well filled creel is the goal of their dreams; and the least said about them, the better. Expectation, seasoned by uncertainty. is the greatest single ingredient in the angIei"s delight. Next to that, or at least high on the list, is the thrill of boasting about his foreknowledge and skill in the presence of his sad- dened and disappointed fellows. im- portant too is the discovery that a fish which he thought, judging by the "feel" of the rod, would weigh a pound or a little less actually tipped the scales at two pounds and a little better. These joys and many, many others which any fisherman will re- call to his soul's comfort would sim- ply vanish in the wake of electronic exactitude. It won't do at all.

Synthetic Gasoline?

Quite a furore has been created by the claims of two engineers in Sheffield. England, to have discov- ered a method of producing a syn- thetic gasoline by using three liquids which are in plentiful supply, and which can be quickly assembled to produce a fuel which, it is claimed is equivalent to 85 per cent octane gasoline. The furore, of course, arises from the fact that, because of the rationing of gasoline, people are flocking to the doors of these on- gineers clamoring for supplies of the new automotive fuel.

While at present supplies of the fuel are not available, the discover- ers claim that within a very short time they will have supplies ready, and that representatives of the Brit- ish press will be invited to test the fuel. It is claimed for it that it is just as efficient as gasoline, and that while at the start the two engineers will be able to produce only about 30,000 gallons a week, which is but a drop in the bucket of Britain's needs, it has tremendous poslbiiities for expansion of production,

Albertans know .I. .l. as a raiii-hcr and puliliriaii.

There he aiicnd- ed school. niilkcd cows and did various farm chores. When he was 16 years of age and consid- ered himself a grown man, lack Bowlcn set out to make his own way in the world. There were five brothers and live sisters and things were a little crowded a- round homc. with 5123.00 in his pocket he sci out for Boston. that big city that drew so many Marl- time boys who sought a change from farm life. His first job was a teamstcr on city streets and then he became a streetcar con- ductor at 52.25 for every I2-hour day. He considered that a good job, easier than milking cows and a bit more profitable. RETURNED T0 CANADA

The years ahead. however, were difficult and trying. For three seasons in a row his crops were frozen and if that wasn't e- nough to drive a young fellow back in the Maritimes, his five horses died from swamp fever. But Bow- icn wasn't quitting and he says with pride that he was able to make a few necessary dollars in nllicr ways so that he did not have to mortgage his land. He fed his frozen grains to pigs and sold the dressed pork at 5 cents a pound. When the horses died, he :- quircd a team of oxen; they were cheaper and they wouldn't take swamp fever.

The venture in horses must have been profitable because Bowlen went back for more and for the next 2) years horse dealing was a major enter- prise.

AI.LOWA.VCE FOR THE BLIND

Sir- About a month ago there appeared. in the Public Forum of The (luardiaii. a letter by Mr. George llaincs. President of the Friendship Club of The Blind. ('haI'Ioiti-toivn, calling on the peo- ple of this Proviilcc to support their pi-oi.'ram "lo impress upon the Government of ('ana(Ia the uccd for a siipplcnicntary allow- ance free from the means tcst to be paid in all blind people over the age of eiizhici-vi."

(In behalf of the Charlottetown Lions Club, I would like to take this opportunity of prc-."nIiiig a few facts hcfore the public in sup- port of their cause and the rea- sons why we as a public service organization wholeheartedly cu- rlorse this program.

The general public are probably aware of the fact that there is a federal - provincial alloiimice for blind persons between the ages of 18 and 69. hut are they aware of the fact that this only applies to those in destitute circunisianccs. and that only about one-third of Canada's blind population 421,000) receive it in whole or in part; that It is subject to a strict means test which limits a single person to monthly earnings of 340.00 per month over and above his allow- ance and a married person to 39000 that the Federal - provin- cial allowance itself is 540.00 per nionih; that employed blind per- sons. earning at income tax exemp- lion level of 81,000.00 for a single person and 32,000.00 for married categories, are ineligible.

This means that If you are 1 single blind person drawing this

- allnii-anoe you are limited to 300.00

a month to maintain a livelihood or your allowance is cut In propor- lion in what you make over your ovin earning power of 540.00 per mnniii, and if married you are lim- lied to 3130.00 per month and the

vvillltt proportional cut In allow-

ance over that amount. The feder- al-provincinl blind allowance ceas- cs at the age of 70 when blind peo- ple along with all other Canadians become eligible for the Old Age Security pension regardless of means, Have you ever stopped to think what it means to be blind? it isn't only that you have lost one of life's most precious gifts, but a lifelong physical handicap and any blind person will tell you "it. costs money to be blind." Where the average worklngman can jump into his car or take a street car, cic., to go to work, the iilghtiess person has to take a taxi or em- ploy a guide to take him there. Think of the blind housewife. who may be very competent in her own home and kitchen, but can she go out bargain hunting like her sighted counterpart? No, she has to rely on her telephone and delivery for her daily needs which quite often means addition- al expense. You could go on and on thinking of the many aspect: of the daily routine of life when it is costing the niglitlesl more than the lighted to accomplish the same tank. so suffice it. to say that "it money to be blind" and support the blind in their ef- fort on secure their allowance without a menu test to make them better equipped to bear the load can of living that um: handicap imposes.

QUESTIONS DOCTORS ASK

A doctor is no magician. He can't tell whether a person has cancer simply by looking at him.

But he probably will be able to tell after asking a few simple ques- tions and making a thorough. pain- less. physical examination. PHYSICAL CHECKUP

When you go In for a physical check-up -and you should have one at least once a year-your physician probably will ask you these following questions regard- ing possible symptoms of cancer.

Have you noticed any painless lumps or thickening, especially in the lip. tongue or breast?

Have you at any time noticed any unusual bleeding from any natural body opening or from the nipples?

ANY SORESP

Have you. any sores, particular- ly around the tongue, mouth or lips, that have refused to heal?

Are your bowel habits regular?

Have you noticed any change?

Have you warts or moles? Has there been any change in any of these?

Are you bothered with persist- ent indigestion or difficulty in swallowing?

Have you experienced any per- sistent hoarseness or unexplained coiigh?

Have you gained or lost weight rcccntly? llovigis your appetite?
