Young King Feisal

'21 year old King lfci-.i the Second of Iraq has good rczi-.ui to feel important these days. On a state visit to Britiiin, his coiiniijx's I staunch ally and, in fact, the i'l'i';i- tor of his moilcrii kingdom. hc is being wined and dined by l'0,Vflli.Vi praised by high government offi- cials, and generally made to feel that he has a great part to pl"-13' in preserving the peace and the free- dom of the Arab world. lie will have a lot to tell when he arrives back in his desert domain.

Actually, of course, the "part- nership" between Britain and Iraq, to which Queen Elizabeth referred in her welcoming speech. is pretty much of a one sided affair-milr tarily, that is. In the event of War Iraq would have to depend almost entirely on its Western ally for its defence. and there is little or noth- ing that King Fcisal could do. in a military sense, to help the Q1199” "vanquish and overcome her enem- ies". For all that, the Iraqi mon- arch has under his control - 01'. more accurately, under the control of his advisers-something without which modern armies, navies, and air forces, not to mention indus- try, would he powerless: 0ll.. Iraq is one of the great oil producing areas of the world. At present Bri- tain has access to it and is determ- ined, come what may. to kerli Th? door open to it. Any attempt by the Soviet Union, or any othrr power, to seize it by force would mean war in the Middle East. That is one reason why young King Fei- sal was welcomed so warmly h.V Britain”s great. And, it. is freely acknowledged. Prime Minister Eden, with the practical sense that is a tradition in British poli- tics, has stated frankly that Britain has no intention of loosening its grip on the oil fields and pipelines of Iraq.

It is not the only reason, how- ever. Another, equally important in another way, is the fact that Iraq is the only Arab state that is heart and soul on the side of the . West in the present great Dower struggle. The others are either casting longing eyes towards the Soviet Union-for economic con- siderations, of course.-or oppor- tunely trying to make the best of both worlds. This kind of friend- ship is worth cultivating to the ut- most, if only from the. standpoint of simple gratitude. But, there is more to it than that. If, in the course of time, Iraqis economic status can show definite signs of improvement under its association

Wasielul Economy

In a recent brief from the On- tario Federation of Agriculture to the St. Lawrence Board of Review, it was stated, ”The Queen Eliza- beth Way, through the Cou.nties of Lincoln and Wentworth, is respon- slble, more than any other single factor, for what will be the even- tual destruction of the unique and irreplaceable fruit-growing area on the continent".

Had the Queen Elizabeth Way between Hamilton and St. Cathar- ines been put above the escarpment, the fruit belt itself would likely have remained intact. Admittedly the cost of construction would have been higher, but the ultimate sav- ings would have been incalculabie. In a study made for Cornell University, it was found that the vaiutot agricultural production for

They point up the fact that in the process of expansion, Canada can- not alford to squander the true basis of its prosperity -- the land which uivcs us our food. The rape of the fruill:iur.ls of Ni;i::zii'a is the classic cxziniple of what can hap- pen for want of forethought and planning. It shows, too, that gov- ernmenis are not yet sufficiently concerned over the problem to ad- just. their higliway and olhcr polic- ies to deal with it.

Victory For Flies

The common house fly is not much to look at. and, as far as is known, it does not render much ser- vice to the world; but it is impossible not to admire its ability to survive in face of danger administered by science. A few years ago when D. D. T. was brought into the fight against it. it was thought that its days were niuril)ei'cd. Things did not turn out that way. however. After a brief period in which the fly gave every sign of having met its con- queror, it started to come back; and at the present time in various coun- tries where D. D. T. has been used extensiveiv the pest is just as bother- some as ever it was. Not only that; but, according to Science Service, th 9 phosphate insecticides, mo re p o w e r f ul exterminators t h n n D. D. T., are fast losing their effect. This is contained In information

mark where experiments in the new killers have been carried out over a lengthy period. At first, the report says, the flies appear to fall back be- fore the attacking insecticides; but within a short time they build up an immunity against which any further tireat.ment is powerless.

This new sign of defeat for science, following so soon after the D. D. T. failure, is m aking some scientists despair of ever being able to rid the world of flies. Meanwhile, if files have any thinking apparatus --and no one knows whether they do or not--no doubt they are rejoicing over their latest victory and wonder- ing what next in the way of terror they will have to combat.-and con- quer. A fly's life is not as carefree as it used to be.

OVEIILANDER. SPECIAL

Sir,--The Overlnnder Special- Moncton to Vancouver-rolled in- to Vancouver this morning with her passenger list considerably re- duced as many of them remained in the Prairie centers.

Highlights of this very popular excursion included sightseeing tours of St. Anne de Benupre and Niagara Falls. Besides there were abbreviated tours of Quebec City, Toronto and Winnipeg. At the lat- ter metropolis the party went on n tour of inspection of the Legis- lative Building. which is consid- ered by many Canadians as being unsurpassed from the point of view of beauty and architectural de-

sign.

Thc guide in spite of his Scottish birth made a very generous offer that if any of the visiting deleg- ation would like a souvenir of their visit they were welcome to take one of the bronze buffaloes, two of which guard the wide stairway lending to the second floor. How- ever, one drawback to such an offer was the fact that such I souvenir would weigh five tons.

An additional highlight took the form of an enjoyable "breakfast hour" at the MacDonald Hotel, Edmonton. This meeting was chaired by Lorne Campbell. Pres- ident of the Maritime Association of Edmonton. Mr. Campbell paid high tribute to Mr. .i.V. Dodds who not only is responsible for these excursions but who accom- panies them and plays such a part in making them so deservedly pop- ular.

Mr. Campbell also referred la the large place the Hon. J. J. Bowlen filled not only in the life of the Maritime Association of which he is vice president, but also in the wider Provincial field where he holds the important of- fice of Lieutenant Governor. Doubtless Mr. Bowlen remembers very vividly the hard work he had to do as a boy In the potato fields of P.E. Island.

During this breakfast hour spec- inl pins bearing the crest of the Province of Alberta were present- ed to a number of Overlanders who had made a similar excurs- ion in previous years. Mrs. Doris Phillips and Mrs. A.II. P:wnr. both of P.E.I.. were among the recipients.

Some of the delegates from P.l'.'. I. were so taken with the Rockies that they plan on trying to induce their government to exchange the 1956 crop of potatoes for one of the medium sized mountains, which with others form that mighty chain of mountains running on either side of the railway for almost 400 miles. Thus the "fill" of the Causeway will be assured.

The presence of elderly people in ever greater proportion in many of the western countries is ' chnnges in forms if so- ciety and may require special pat- terns for future action in the soc- ial sciences. This view of the the consequences of "aging", with medical and economic aspects of the problems, is set forth in the June issue of "Impact", sceintif- ic quarterly published by Unesco.

In the United Kingdom today approximately 14 percent of the population are men over 65 and women over 80, and it is estimat- ed that within 25 years the over- sixties in Great Britlan and Swed- en will constitute nearly one-third of the voting power, Professor R. E. Tunbridge points out in his ar- ticle "Medical and Social Prob- lems of Aging". The author is professor to medicine at the Uni- versity of Leeds, England, and a leading gerontoloj '

Similar increases In the propor- tion of elderly people are occur- ring In western continental Eur- ope, inthe United States, Canada,

Austrnlln and New Zealand and among the white populations of Africa.

ANCIENT CUSTOMS

Delving back into history. Pro- fessor Tunbridge cites a diversity of attitude on the place of elders in the society. Among the Indians of the Gran Chaco in Argentina the son's duty was to kill his fath- er as soon as the elder was un- able to keep up his tribe. On the other hand, the Spartans under Lycurgus's constitution formed one branch of the government. the Gerousia, exclusively of men over 60. .'.nd the Chinese revered old age. from the earliest days of their history. the usua. theories of the causes of aging-such as physical ex- haustion, wear and tear, envir- onmental stress, the accumulation of toxic substances, the breakdown of n metabolic cycle, the failure of A specific organ or organs- but finds that there remains "the dlflculty of using any single test of function to Issess what we mean by senescence".

As to the possibilies of "enab- ling man to live longer". Profes- sor Tunbridge observes: "The ad- vances in medical . ' have been effective against infectiuos diseases, particularly those nffec.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (July II, III!)

Mr. John Manners of Boston. Mnss., is spending a pleasant va- cation in Summenide. Mr. Man- ners. who has traveled extensively in Cnndn, British Isles and the United States, finds no better spot

than Prince Edward Island in which to,spend a vacation. According to figures of the

squats and other sources of in- formation, the population of Sum- mcrside has Increased t ' 400 and 500 in the last two or three years. '

Meanwhile it becomes urgently necessary to atetnd to the econo- mic health of multitudes of older people. "How to adjust pensions to provide reasonable financial se- curity for everyone is a major problem of the welfare state".

Adjustments within industry to keep a place for older workers is a favourable possibility. Professor Tunbridge suggests, citing the findings of the Le Gros Clark sur- vey in England: "A considers le number of workers today ill have to be found alternative jobs in their early or mid-sixties if they -are not to be forced into prema- ture retirement". For many work- ers, Professor Tunbridge con- cludes, their job is an important factor in their lives aside from the earning of wages.

And the writer adds the com- forting observation that while in their eighties Goethe composed the second part of "Faust". Hum- boldt wrote ”Kosmos" and Verdi composed "Falstaff".

By killing a few files here. you may prevent the of thou- sands more. While the average life span of a female fly is only one month. she usually produces some 500 eggs during that time. You can see how readily they multiply.

Usually, you'll find their breed- ing places around garbage cans and any other decaying matter. You can help keep your garbage can free of flies by washing it out regularly, keeping it well repaired and keeping it lightly covered.

Spraying it with a five per cent DDT solution will help, too. SPRAY OUTSIDE

T h i I solution. incidentally, should also be sprayed under the porch and on porch ceilings. A: a further precaution, you can brush it on the outside of window and door screens.

Occasionally, flies become re- sistant to DDT. If your DDT spray doesn't faze them, try a solution of malathion for outdoor use.
