Industry For SpringhIII
There will be general approval of Dr. Frank MacKinnon’s action in sending a telegram to Springhill of< ficials offering the town the “ful' services“ of APEC in helping to re- store its economy. As J.H. Delaney, a representative of the United Mine Workers told the APEC meeting, first consideration should be given the town if new industries move into the region. There is certainly no place in the entire region that needs and deserves consideration more,
While no official statement has yet been made, it seems almost certain that A.V. Roe Limited and the Nova Scotia Government will decide against reopening the mines. .To reopen them or either of them would invitefurther disaster, of which Springhill (has had far too much already.
The Federal Government is’ said to be( considering ways and means of bringing another industry of impor- L trance to the town. What it should be is, of course, a question for industrial and economic experts to decide. But, by Working together and exploring every possible source, the two Gov- ernments, A.V. Roe and APEC should
factory solution. The universal sym- pathy that has been focused on the, tragedy and the‘ heroism of Springhill citizens will be a great psychological help in attracting industry.
II ' \\ The Small Farmer.
It seems almost certain that the British Conservative Government is planning an early election. It has an- nounced that, beginning immediately, it will give the Country’s small farm- ers grants up to 1000 pounds "‘to help increaseprOduction 'and make farm- ing more profitable.” The grants will apply to farms of from 20 to 100 acres of crops and grass, not counting rough grazing land. '
“The essential basis for. the grants", an official statement said, "will be that the small farmer con’J earned will carry out over a'period of three to five . years an approved plan for the improvement of his farm business. What is-needed isa d‘pecial drive to encourage the smaller farm- ers to take advantage of modernxag4 ricultural knowledge and practice”,
Yes, there must be an election pend- tnd. ‘Whenever Governments get all worked up over the' plightiof the small farmer, veting day is (net far . off. We have seen abundant evidence of that on both the Federal and Pro- vinciallevel. Mark our words. A few weeks or months befdre our next Provincial election is called, the Gov- ernment—amd the Opposition party, too—will announce great plans for the benefit of the “small farmer”.
Vaguely Reassuring
According to a dispatch from Lon- don, Canada has told Britain that it intends to restore a margin of the preference to British wool textiles. The statement. made by Sir David Eccles, president of the British Board of Trade, was in reply to a complaint voiced in the House of Commons that Britain’s wool textile industry was gravely, concerned at the Canadian and United States import tariff quotas. \
It will be recalled that at a press conference shortly after he arrived ’ in London, Prime Minister Diefen- baker observed that “Canada and the United Kingdom have a unique op— portunity to increase our mutual trade.” This rather vague statement many have had reference to quotas,~ which certainly have been upper- most in the minds of British people. At any rate they can be excused for thinking that Mr. Diefcnbaker‘s of- ten repeated desire for'more trade with the United Kingdom on a two way basis was not substantiated by the Canadian Government‘s action in raising tariffs on imports of British Wool or by the anti-dumping legisla- tion passed at the last session of Parliament. It must be recognized that almost any British product exported to Can- ada will sell at a lower price than the (‘anadian-made product. mainly because manufacturing costs are cheaper in the United Kfngdom than they are here. However emphatic-
thaf the anti-dumping lav-s are. aimed at cheap American goods, the fact remains that the}~ will also adversely affect most British ex- ports to this country.
Ever since the 1957 election cam- paign Conservative spokesmen have been championing increased trade with the United Kingdom. So far, however, little has been done to im- plement this laudable program. Tar: iffs on imports from the United Kingdom are as high now as they have been for a; good many years—— higher, in some instances. A restora‘ tion of a margin of the preference formerly granted to Britilsh wool textiles would be a step in the direc— tion of remedying this discrimination.
Mr. Diefenbaker cannot undo the work of the last session of Parlia- ment in giving expression to his Government’s trade policies; but if his visit to England has convinced him bf the unwisdom of these poli- cies, in so far asbarriers to British
. trade are concerned, then his trip has
'already been of some profit. We trust that the assurance given to Sir David Eccles does indeed repre- sent a changed attitude on the part of the Canadian Government. ,
School Of Atheism
Those people who feel that antin religious propaganda in the Soviet Union is a passing phase and that eventually the traditional place of religion will be restored will be dis- turbed at (something that happened in Ashkhabad the other day. It was the official opening Of a University of Atheism. The news agency Tass reports proudly that the opening lec~ ture was on “Marxism and Leninism On Religion And'Ways 0f Overcom- ing I ”. Other such schools are to be set up in other parts of the Union.
It happens that Ashkhabad is in a part of‘the Soviet Union were Mos- lems, who are very strict in their religious practices, make up the great- er part of -,the population. Surely, this act of insult and injury. ought to awaken Arabs everywhere to the menace that Soviet propagandists are to their cherished traditions. It "will
i be interesting to see how President
Nasser of the United ‘Arab Republic, reputedly a zealous' Moslem, reacts to the Soviet move. If he; doesn’t realize now that Soviet offers of “friendship” are in reality gestures of 'hostility, he is a blockhead.
But there is a. question here, too, for Westerners to ponder: How can there be any genuine trust—on any matter—in a regime thatI not only repudiates religion officially but es- tablishes schools to teach “ways of overcoming it”? .‘ i " i ‘

An Ottawareport says that “liv- ing costs have staged a 3-month march to new heights.” It’s a strange recession all right; and the longer it, lasts the stranger it gets. In all pre- vious recessions food costs went down insteadpf up.

The Congressional election in the United States went almost‘ exactly as the public opinion polls had pre— dicted. Mr. Harry S. Truman can take great pleasure in that. He was the

Keen interest attaches to the pro- vincial educational conference which is being held at Birchwood High School today. It will he a crowded agenda, if it is to cover s’uch im- portant matters as school adminis- tration, school finances and teacher supply. I
Dr. Frank McKinndn told the APEC meeting that “ this spirit of co-opera- tion is a tender‘plant and it must be nourished. This we can do through teamwork, by the exchange of ideas and by practical projects". The‘last named is the most important, al- though the others have their places.

At a meeting in London addressed by the Prime Minister of Great Bri- tain and Canada, Mr. Macmillan was heckled several times, while Dic- fenbaker received nothing but cheers. But then, Mr. Diefenbaker is not seeking re-election over there. A poli— tician whoseterm is about up is al-
ways likely “to get a little rough

Nova Scotia’s Agriculture Min- ister Haliburton says that there is: a market in the Province for an additional $10 million worth of loc- ally produced pork and $10 million worth of beef.

DEFENSE CRITICISM-

For some yea-rs now, mem- bers of a gallant little band of distinguished soldiers on the re-
development in the field of de fence policy with anxious eyes. They havemeaicted much in the manner of rabid supporters of a Big Four football. team that isn‘t performing up to expec‘ tion». They have secondaguessed

Oddly enough. their , best. ef- forts have, inspired but rarely the wanm appreciation of those wlhom their criticism was intend- ed to assist.

unnerving experience to have the retired generals gather at his right hand. His successor, the Hon. Ralph Campney, was another who never seemed to
‘be able to adjust himself to the
practice. Ex - Prime Minister Louis S. St. Laurent was usual— ly moved to irritability by un- solicited counsel having to do with cfence matters and. on at least one occasion, he suggested sha‘nply that the generals were alanmists. ‘ CHANGE AT OTTAWA When the Conservatives won a general election and the H on. Geonge R. Pearkes took over the defence portfiolio, there was a theory that the generals might. just fade away into the back- ground. They had never demon- strated any overpowerning affec- tion for the Conservatives. But the new minister was, after all, a distingushed soldier (Major- General. retired) in his own right who had long been a fel— low—critic in the defence policy field. ' 4
Very soon after he became Minister of National Defence. Mr. Pearkes let it be known that he wished to drop the title of “gen- eral” —— that he preferred to be addressed, simply, as “Mr. Pear» kes” henceforth. By an odd co- incidence, frocrnthat moment on, he received the benefit of the publicly — offered counsel of the same professional critics who had once tried, albeit vainly. to keep Messrs. Claxton and Camp— ney on the royal road to success in the defence policy field.

involved the fate of the contro- versial and expensive, all - Can» adian manned jet. interceptor, the GET-105 Arrow.
CRITICAL FROM THE START
The generals had been critical
of this project when it was still
in the planning stage. Mai-Gen. W. H. S. Macklin. fonmer Adju- tant-General. had a feeling that the Arrow was. even then, obso- lete. Lt.-Gen. Guy Simonds, for- mer Chief of the General’Staff, was positive. Long before the first Arrow ever took to the air, he described the huge expendi-
tures earmarked for the pro ~
gram as “money down the drain." Both warned that th e Defence Department's predccupa» tion with air power was a snare and a delusion and a slightly ex- pensive ,variety of both. at that. Gem. Simonds, in particular, an gued persuasively that the Ar- row program should be. junked.
Which is just about what hap— pened to the Arrow, a few weeks ago.
The generals, however. remain critical. They now ahgue that the BOMAR-C missile, which the RCAF plans to buy to replace the Arrow in Canada's air de- fence system. is every bit as ob— solete .as the Arrow. I If not mores .
MIG Y QUEER FORCE
Gen. Macklin noted the other
.day that the RCAF would be a
mighty 'queer sort of air force without alrbi‘aift. :He and others, he said, had warned for years that “if they failed to get them- selves some up-Ato-date ainplanes the Air Force would just disap- pear." Though just what air- craft in the world could be class— ed as “lupin-date” if the Arrow is as obsolete as Gen. Maicklin
suggests, he did not make clear. ,
In his View, the RCAF needs two types of planes. .One is a short takeoff transport aircraft which could taxi armed forces personnel with their weapons and supplies to any point. on the globe. Such' an aircraft shouldn‘t. he says. be dependent on miles of concrete runways.-
The other essential alncraft. Gen. Maicklin holds, is one "that can intervene in a land battle in support of the Canadian Army."
in the deterrent and nowhere else.”
He would have the Defence:
Department, in other words. ‘pre- pare for a war of conventional
rather than nuclear weapons and,
even so, de-emphasize Canadian air defence.
But Lt.Cen. Simonds. on this point. doesn't agree. '
“All our efforts in the field of research and development aerial warfare should now be directed to seeking an adequate defence against the ballistic mis- sil‘e.”
He points out: if a defence can be evolved that can deal ef» fectiveliy with the ballistic mis- sile, it will also deal with any possible version of a winged bomber. The reverse is not
_ true." ,
The Defence Departinent leans more to Gen. Simonds’ point of View. It has been aware for some time. that the Arrow was— n’t the answer to the problem and that the BOMARIC, while it comes closer to the mark. al- so falls far short of meeting all air defence requirements. A sound defence against the ballis- tic missile tihat will also deal with the old-fashioned bomlber hasn’t yet been evolved. But the betting favors an anti-missile missile. And research work its

Good Vision And “Vitamins
By Herman N. Rundown.
EAT PROPERLY and pi'i'vpei‘ly.
the if is not always as easy] as thatwthere are many eyef ailments—the things you eat; may still have something to do with your ability to see.
So let's lake a look at the vitamin picture and its effect upon your eyes.
MOST IMPORTANT
Probably the most important single vitamin as far as Vision is concerned is Vitamin A. Without it. you Would be night» blind.
Vitamin A is whisked by your blood stréam to the retina of the eye where it is in ads into "visual purple.” It is this visual purple that enables us to see in near-darkness. ' ' These of you who ordinarily vmrk in a very bright or dim light probably require more Vi- tamin A than those who work in a moderate amount of light. RESULTS OF DEFICIENCY Severe deficiency of Vitamin A can cause a lot of eye trouble. Burning, itching and inflamed eyelids: might result. And there may be eyestrain, sties or even pain in the eyeballs. Sores may occur on the cornea. the crystal covering the from. of the eye, and fatigue might develop.
A11 green vegetables. if prop— erly handled. are good sources of Vitamin A. So are carrots.
ALD. i
see
oils, butter. cream and egg yolk.
Vision is also favorably af- fected by the B vitamins. al- though probably not as directly as with Vitamin A.
ANOTHER LACK Vitamin 842 defliciency can cause itching and burning lids, Mbrsens-itivity to light, tearing and even failing sight,
You‘ll find rich sources of the B vitamins in liver, yeast‘ and wheat germ.
Vitamin C is also essential to good eye health. “It helps main— tain normal vison and aids in re- sisting infections and inflam- mations. Some .dOctors suspect that. a shortage of it might be a factor in development of cat-ar- acts. ABUNDANT SUPPLIES
Citrus fruits, tomatoes and several of the green, vegetables have abundant supplies of Vita. min C. _
Somerdoctors believe that a deficiency of Vitamin D may be partly responsible "for nearsight- edness. This vitamin is the eas- iest of all to obtain, since it is found in fish liver oil and is also developed through acton by the sun‘s rays on oils on our skin.
Too much of it can be harm— ful. however. at timesrypossibly encouraging devellipmenrt of cat- aracts. - ’
QUESTION AND ANSWER
L.N.: What is the cause of a1:
bumin in the urine and what is the treatment?
Answer: Albumin in the urine might be due to some inflam: mation of the kidneys or blad- der. It might also be due to a dis order known as nephiiosis. Some times albumin may be present without any organic disturbance.

The ability of lhe Arab coun- tries to preserve peace in the Middle East by their own efforts —as they promised the United Nations in August—«is being put to the test.
British and American troops have gone from Jordan and Leib- anion. They were sent. in after the May 14 revolt in Iraq when the West feared the uprising there might be the start of a new try by President Nasser to pull more countries into his United Arab Republic.
The British and American in tervention was debated in the UN sit a Special General Assembly session. The upshot was an agree- ment by the two countries to re- move their f. r o o p s when the danger of further strife ended and a pledge by the Arabs not to threaten peace.
Already there are signs that [may point to new trouble.

New Trodbl‘e In Middle East
By David Rowntrec Canadian Press Staff Writer
In Iraq. one of the leaders of the May revolt has been arrested. Col. Abdul Salem Aref was the chief advocate of linking the new republic with the U.A.R..B-ut Pre- mier Karim Kassem showed he prefean to follow an independ-
en-t policy and shipped Aral“ off to 3 West Germany as ambassador. : Aref returned “without permis- .
slim” and was arrested.
PREFERS IRAQ
There is speculation in Wash- ington—as an outside possibility— that Hussein may be leaving Jor- dan so that his government can come to. a closer understanding
with Kassem to present a solid i
front to Nasser.
The young king's cousin. Faisal. ‘
was killed in the Iraq revolt but the feeling is that Hussein~ pre- ters to deal with Iraq rather than Egypt. Jordan and Iraq were joined in federation wtil the raw olution.
