Warming Up

I seem: that one can't make an ome- -ht without breaking eggs. or put zip into ul election campaign without someongs feeling getting bruised. In the latter case, of course, the government of the day--be ! Liberal, Conservative, or what-ha.ve- you--is usually at the receiving end of the verbal barrage. Three such campaigns are now under way in three widely separated Provinces of Canada, and from each comes strongly worded complaints that the Op- podtlon h playing too rough.

h Aberta, Premier Manning denoun- ces the charges made by Liberal Leader J. K. Prowso as being ”absurd, irresponsible and without foundation.”

kl Ontario, Premier - Frost says he re- lies to "stoop to the vituparation and slander” at” his Llaeral and OCF oppon- entn, whom he charges with "throwing mud” become they ladr other ammuni- tion. '

In Prince Edward Island, Premier Muthoeon complains of the "low plane" on which Conservative advertisements and qaoeches are being presented. He had hoped, he says in rebuke. that the cam- paign would be conducted "without base inainuations and personal lnnuendoes."

There is a general election campaign going on in the United Kingdom 'too. Us- ually British elections are pretty hot stuff; but this time is appears, despite the efforts of Sir Winston Churchill to liven things up with a few caustic personal comments about Mr. Attllee, that television has taken the starch out of the campaigners. The oldtime rough-and-tumble traditionally as- sociated wi't.h British politics is con-.' spicuously lacking. And-deplore it as one

may-the British people donit like it at all! So lisvtlem is their attitude that the Bishop

and exchange a firm nammume.

Granted that there is a mrasurc of political ch-icanc-ry behind this invitation what of it? Art is art wherever it may be found, and it is no respecter of persons or, it may be added, of ideologies. Whether we like it. or not. the fact is that for a long time to come Western democracy and Russian Communism will have to find some way to live in the same world. If exchange of artists-or politicians-can help even in a small way to make that "co-existence" more tolerable, what good reason is there for being hesitant about it? In any event, it would be no great tribute to the good sense of Canadian artists to suggest, directly or by inference, that they might allow themselves to be fooled by Soviet propaganda once they were behind the Iron Curtain.

Meteors And Rainfall

A theory that rainfall may be related to periods when the earth passes through streams of meteors will be investigated by Australian physicists cooperating with scientists from the United States Univer- sity of Arizona.

The Australian scientists noted that heavy rainfall occurred in Sydney 30 days after the earth had passed through meteor belts. Some swarms of meteors-stones, rocks, or lumps of metal thrown off by the sun or other heavenly bodies-travel in regular orbits through the solar system, and are encountered at the sarm season every year. Scientists think that it takes about 30 days for the fine dust from these swarms to percolate through the atroc- sphere from outer space to the level at which rain is precipitated from the clouds. If proved true, the theory could be of great value to agriculture for the timing of crops.

Australian and American experinlellt- ers will take samples of air in a small box, and at certain heights note its behaviour. If ice crystals form at warmer temper- atures than usual, it will suggest that some- thing is present in the air to accomplish the "seeding". Though this will not prove definitely that. meteor dust causes rain, if it occurs on days when the dust is present and the same conditions exist in both Aus- tralia and the United States, it will give some confirmation to the theory.

Another Exchange 1

Fnr some linw now thc Spvelkcrs of thc Canadian Commons and Scnatc havc lwcn studying a Russian proposal that parlia- mentarians of both count rics cxclulllge vis-i its in an effort to bring about a more antic-I ablc relationship l)0fW0('ll East and West. So far. no dccision has llf'0ll rcnchcd In the matlcr: at any rate. none has been; made public. There may hc good and suf- ficient reasons for the dclay. although it is hard to see how any untoward result could possibly follow from the cxcllangc. A few Russians coming into this country to see our parliament at work could scarec- ly do anybody any harm; and. as far as the Canadians who might go to Russia are concerned, it might do them good to see for themselves what political life is like in a country where free disccussinn of is- sues is prohibited. Almost. ceriainly they would come back with a more lively ap- preciation of free political institutions.

Meanwhile. without waiting for Speak-

ers Beaudoin and Robertson to make uP

their minds, the Russians have madc an-

other proposal of apparent friendship. This

time it has to do with artists rather than

politicians and was thought up by Lconld

Kogan, a musician who was one of a Rus-

sian group which visltcd certain Canadlall cities last year. Writing, with official ap- Droval, in the "Illustrated News" a Mos- cow publication.

Mcanwhilc. cvcry effort would be made to bring about good trade relations, cxchange of scicntists. artists, and plain ordinary tourisls.

More than ever, in this age of mechani- cal and scientific farming, the welfare of the farmer is directly and indirectly affect- ed by taxation. An illustration of this was given recently in a statement issued by H. G. Hilton, President of the Steel Company of Canada, referring to the re- duction in the corporation tax by the Fed- eral Government. Mr. Hilton mentioned several items, such as cold rolled steel and galvanized sheets, which he said would be reduced 35 per ton as a result of the cut in taxes. He pointed out that galvanized sheet prices, for instance, are of particular interest to the entire farming community. These sheets are used in the fabrication of farm buildings, in culverts and drains, and the aggregate rural demand for that product is I Ililstantial part of the total. This is not to mention farm inploments of all kinds which an entirely made of steel.

UITAWA REPORT

A gruup of oustzludlng young farmers, lland-picked by their local Agriculture Representatives, visit- ed this Capital as guests of their Progressive Conservative Mem- bers ol Parliament last week.

The lucky seven - all from Western Ontario - spent two days sight-seeing, watching Parliament at work, meeting many of Ottawa's "Very Important Personages." and of course by way of a "bus- man's holiday" they visited the Central Experimental Farm oper- ated here by the Department of Agriculture.

J. W. Murphy. M,P.. for Lamb- ton West, played a prominent part in arranging this visit. I-Iis guest was Douglas Leckie, from Sarnia

”, who is in " t of his County .lunior Farmers" tion.

Wally Nesbitt, M. P., for Ox- ford. invited Willlam McLeod of Tbamesford. also plesident of his County Junior Farmerlf. Marvin Howe, M. P., for Wellington-Huron, invited James Connell of Falmer- sion, winner of the Wellington County Seed Judging contest. .1. W. Monteith, M. P.. for Perth, invited Dan Anderson of Slratford. William Baxter of Springfield was the guest of J. A. McBain, M. P., for Elgin, and Doug Simpson of Teeswaler came to visit his M. P..

Learning that he comes from Charlottetown. l comulcnied that I had been inlcrested to receive an ingenious piece of publicity from the Mayor of Cllarlottctown, in connection with that city's cen- tenary cclebratilms this year. It was in the form of a sum- mans. so naturally everyone re- ceiving this through the post would read and remember it. I did.

"A smart character. that Mayor of yours." I said.

Rough lOn Burglars

When a couple of enterprising burglars broke into an electronics plant in Chicago one night rec- ently they heard a pleasant male voice suggesting that they turn about and disappear. Then came another and less plcasant voice qalling for the police. a woman's excited shrieks added to the din.

Sarnia's "Murph" had erected his camera on a tripod to photograph the party. Evidently al camera fan of wide experience.

It was a burglar alarm pre- pared for just such an emergency to demonstrate the flrm's elec- tronic devices and their ingenuity. At least one burglnrious party is convinced, we are sure, that this scientific watchdog is a new peril to their trade.

And really this sort of thing might well discourage any am- bilous young man who has thought of burglary as B well-paid oc- cupation with short hours and in- teresting vnricty.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE ,

Perhaps the highlight of the visit of these young farmers was be- ing received at Government House by the Governor General. the Right Honourable Vincent Massey But the sight that had impressed them must. it appeared. was neither Mr Massey. nor the view from n.rllamen"s lofty Peace Tower, nor the spectacle of money actually being made at the Royal Mint, nor the magnificent banked messes of colour in the tullp beds along the scenic driveways. but the huge cow barn at the experi- mental farm. .

"Never seen so many cows in one barn in my life." said one young farmer accustomed to handling his dairy herd daily.

WHEN SYMPTOMS MAY LIE Pain is often transmitted from

known to the medical profession as referred pain.

For example, pain of "the sp- pendlx may first occur around the navel. alth ” the appendi is not in this location. Pain in .lle knee is often from the hip, and pain in the ear is often due to tongue disorders.

Intestinal Difficulties

testine may produce pain in the chest. left shoulder; neck and arm. Usually, these attacks begin with some emotional disturbance and are relieved when gas or feces is expelled through the rectum. The disturbance has to be in the left side of the large intestine as it makes its way across the abdomen.

spastic or mucous colitis. as it is of such symp- toms. Attacks of chest pain and pain down the arm have been proven to occur in this manner by research physicians who have inserted a balloon on a tube up into the portion of the large in- testine known as the splenic fex- ure. The baloon is then inflated and the patients all seem to get the symptoms of chest pain. The pain is very often similar to an- gina pectorls, which is one of the precursors of heart disease.

Some persons are needlessly worried that they have heart dis- ease, when actually their symp- tlms are due to the fact that colon d' is M d as heart dis- ease.

Persons suffering from this dis- order may be helped with I bland diet in which all spices, condi- ments, raw fruits and vegetables and other irritating foods are removed. The use of various anti- spasmodic drugs are also of help in certain cases. but they should be only taken upon the advice of a doctor.

Answer: Shingles. or herpes zoster, is due to a virus infection of the skin. nerves and produces small blisters over the 'urea Il- fected. Usually. most of these cases do clear up ntaneously. However. pain may last a few weeks or months after the attack. In a few cases, local nerve blocks may relieve the pain.
