Ice In River Becomes .. Heavier
BAIE COMEAU, Que. (CP) — The freighter Elin Hope arrived here Thursday from New York and plans to start her return jour- ney Sunday with 5,600 tons of newsprint.
The crew reported that ice on the St. Lawrence River was no- ticeably heavier in spots than it was two weeks ago when the freighter made another trip to this town 350 miles northeast of Quebec City.
However, it was possible the
freighter, under charter to the Quebec North Shore Paper Com- pany, would attempt a third trip after she discharged her cargo in New York. The freighter Vinland which left here Jan. 19 arrived in New York Thursday with a newsprint cargo.
MONTREAL (CP)—The Cana-' dian Federation of Agriculture meets here next week and the federal government's farm price stabilization bill is expected to be a main topic.
The federation has agreed in principle with the floor price guarantees contained in the legis- lation, which received second reading at Ottawa Friday. But it has urged the inclusion of the parity principle in the formula—' asking that farmers be provided prices related to production costs and the prices of non-agricultural commodities.
Agriculture Minister Harkness will head‘ those addressing the week-long annual meeting, speak- ing Wednesday morning to an open session.

Friday their research shows it is possible to make a single vaccine giving protection against colds, flu and polio.
Dr. William J. Mogabgab and Dr. William Pelon made the an- nouncement at a meeting of the southern section of the American Federation for Clinical Research. The doctors said they opened the way for a multiple-purpose vaccine by proving that influenza virus may be grown in monkey kidney-tissue cultures, the same method used for polio vaccine. The doctors said they isolated a new virus which causes colds. They called it the “2060" vinus. Another such virus known as “JH” already had been isolated.

THOUGHTS FOR, Quiz, JIME
BY ‘ i-iis_ EMINENCE CARDINAL’ M.-.euioAr~i”
BE AT PEACE WITH ONESELF FIRST
Never before, perhaps, in the history of the world have there been so many remedies suggest- ed to bring peace to a warring social order.
The Communist and the Social- ist, in so far as they attack the problem at all, look for a rem- edy in the direct and immediate control of things material. They fail to take into account, and very often deny,‘ the spiritual na- ture of man. They fail also to see that matter is a principle of division and not of union.
Peace among men is not pos- sible where the principle propos- ed to unite men, is in itself the
‘principle’ of division. The princi-
ple of union proposed by the great .St. Thomas Aquinas, following the lead of the common Master Him- self, the Prince of Peace, is a
outset the spiritual nature of man and upon this basis and this alone proceeds to attack the common problem. The Christian has no quarrel with the radical in so far as he is a radical; but his complaint is that he is not radical enough. The radical fails to attack the root of the problem. The Com- munist and the Socialist appeal to the many upon whom the bur- den of poverty rests and they captivate them by promises im- possible of fulfilment.
The Christian believes that ;P e a c e cannot be understood, imuch less attained, unless we un-
lderstand something of the spiri-
itual structure of man. It is im- ipossible, for example, to under- ‘s t a n d physical integrity and, when it is damaged, to labor suc- :cessfully for its restoration, un- iless something is known about lthe structure of the human bod . IHEALTH. PEACE . ‘ In the physical body, the re- sult of physical integrity is health. ,In the soul, the result of spiritual :integrity is Peace. When each of
?the members of the human body is functioning normally, then the physical body is in health. Like-
, .

tions of society.

'may keep the Christian vocabul- laryl but pays only lip-service to ithe basic doctrines taught by
nial, the need for supernatural charity and love over and beyond ethics, etc.
The modern spirit is the spirit of pride. The self-sufficiently of man, in all departments of hu- man life, is axiomatic. We have only to will strongly enough, and all shall be accomplished as we desire; man is master of his own destiny.
This spirit has received a se- vere jolt during the past half- century. So many things have hap- pened to shake the self-sufficiency of man that many honest souls are seekingfor a solution else- where than within man himself. It is the Christian’s duty to show the way, by thought and exam- ple. The Christian asserts, in oppos- ition to all this, that Man's na- ture has been damaged. He in- troduces at the outset the, fact of original sin and the equally important fact, the solidarity of the race.
DAMAGED NATURES
In virtie of this solidarity, ev- eryone born into this world in- herits the same damaged nature. This nature must be healed by grace. Grace comes from God. He alone can grant it. It flows through the Sacraments into the soul. This grace is the sharing in the life of God. and in virtue of this communication of life, men are made the sons of God.
Though grace is inexhaustible,
necessity of constant prayer that God may not withdraw it from us but may increase and stren- ,gthen it. Grace is the beginning of ithe spiritual life. Grace finds its resting place in the very essence of the soul. It flows over into the faculties, healing and strengthen- ing them. And with grace come all the infused virtues ruled by charity, their queen. ‘ Now, the Christian must be at peace with himself before he can be at peace with others. Peace is the overflowing of charity. Un- ion is the very essence of Peace. “The love of God gathers; the love of self scatters.” The love of God gathers all the faculties of the soul under the rule of reason and faith and unites them to pro- mote the interests of God and neighbor. The love of self scat- ters; it gives free reign to all the faculties of the soul. The love of self is the mother of anarchy within the soul. To learn this lesson of unsel- fishness, we must go and sit at the feet of Him Who sought so little His own interests and plea- sure that He gave even His life for us. Only then, can we hope to experience the fruit of His great gift to us, when He said, “My peace I leave with you, My Peace I give unto you; not as
