“The Itrongestgmemory I: weaken than the weakest ink.”

Power of The classic:

While statcsnien of many lands are <i=:1rching feverishly for some political formula that might bridge the ever widen- ing gulf between the ideological divisions of mankind, it is interesting and refresh- ing to note that Dr. Gilbert Murray. one of the great scholars of the world, is recom- mending study of the classics as “the one center round which the gentler and nobler influence of the world can gather and stand fast." Dr. Murray is 88 vears old; he has spent his entire adult life in pliil- tisophltral study of the movements which liavc fashioned civilizations and brought bolll order and disorder into the workings of the nations. His studies have taken him track of the outward appearances of political and social institutions to the essential his- torlc drives which have created them and brought them into conflict one with an- othcr.

No one knows better than Dr. Murray the nature of the link which connects the thought of ancient and mediaeval philoso- phr~rs to the pragmatism of 20th centu1'y practices and custonis: no one is more con- -rious of the futility of short cuts to :‘r‘OnOnilC and political well-being. A civil- ization impcrillcd by the threat of uncon- irnllcri and uninhibited maleriali.~'m, which i: at the root of the Communist apparatus.- ll.’«l< need of many aids. including the mili- tary ones. if its survival is to be assrred: hut ciiiefly. perhaps. it needs an awareness of the pcrmancnt things of life as against tlir traiisitory cxpedients which arise from time to time. This is where the classics come in. They are. in Dr. Murray's words. "ihr great upholders of the permanent against the fashionable: of high standards against the general easy level."

They might even teach us a more Christian approach to the bitter war set- tlemcnt problems confronting world states- mcn today. The following passage. written many years ago by Dr. Murray, relates to the ancient Greek custom of marking vic- tories by a trophy and nothing more: “A trophy was a plain wooden cross with a suit of (‘apiured armour on it. And by Greek la\v it must never be repaired by the conqueror nor yet pulled down by the conquervrl. It must simply be allowed to fall to pieces and disappear as the memory of the old strife disappeared. The reason is given in several passages. ‘It is the law’. says .\'icolaus in Diodorus. ‘to set up tro- phins not of stone but of ordinary pieces of wood. It is well tq preserve for ever the good will we feel towards our friends, but to let our hatred to our opponents die.‘ Plutarch discusses the reason why trophies alone of all offerings to the gods are never rcpaired. ‘It would be invidious and malig- nant that we men should ourselves repair and renew the monuments of hatred to- wards our enemies when time is making them dim'."

.\'ot, a bad moral. one would think. for the Geneva Conference delegates to ponder under the shadow of the hydrogen bomb.

Leukemia is one of the diseases which thus far have resisted all the efforts made by scientists to bring them under control. However. research into this (II;-vastating scourge of the blood is going on all the time and there have been hopeful signs in recent months that the much sought cure is in sight. The new aid to research is the com- mon bat which may in time reach the status ~n laboratory usefulness which hitherto has mrn reserved for the mouse. According o.\‘anderbilt University scientists, who are -rcditcd with bringing the bat irito prom- notice. the little creature's wing membrane s so thin and delicate that the white cells ran actually be seen as they go about their work in the blood stream. This. it is hoped, will provide much needed Information on the metabolic system of human beings, since in that respect men and bats are very much alike. The main concentration will be on 5 specific ingredient. the nature of which is now unknown, in the hat's blood that al- lows it to hibernate without food of any kind for seven or eight months of the year: this means, too, that it can be kept under refrigeration for that period of time with- out requiring :-~,v sort of care. Apart from their contribution to science, bIt.s have emerged from the preliminary

It may be true. after all, that no living thing, however humble, is “useless or low" in the great scheme of creation and in the structure of the good and abundant life.

The Montreal Gazette cites reports from Texas. to the effect that attempts to breed “hot-climate" cattle have been successful. By crossing the English shorthorii with the Brahama bull of India, Texas breeders say they have developed a new species, the Santa Gertrudis. which develops healthily in both hot and humid and hot and dry climates.

Development of the new breed can be important for more areas than the drought- ridden L‘. S. Southwest. The fact that the Santa Gertrudis are also reputed to fight their own battles against insects and para- sites could make them an important factor in many other parts of the world.

They could. for instance. be of enormous value in various sections of Africa, where stock-breeding has been difficult both be- cause of climate and deadly insects, such as the tsetse fly. The introduction of home- produced meat into the native diet could have considerable effect on the health standards of the central States. '

EDITORIAL NOTES

The monsoon has started in north Indo- China. offering the prospect that Com- munist supply trucks will be unable to con- tinue rolling in from the North. There does not seem to be any report on the success or otherwise of French attempts to create rainfall artificially.

New long-range navigation aids which could span the world’s longest air routes- including the Atlantic—are being develop- ed by a British company. Technical details have been put forward to the International Civil Aviation Organization in Montreal which is representative of some 63 differ- ent member states.

The Regimental Band of the Irish Guards will travel to Canada this summer to play at the Canadian National Exhibi- tion ln Toronto. This will be the band's first trip to Canada since 1934. Directed by Captain C. H. Jaeger, the band consists of 60 musicians. Colonel of the Irish Guards is Field Marshal Lord Alexander of Tunis.

The bulletin of the Toronto public schoolmasters' association advocates that men teachers should be permitted to wear turtle neck sweaters to classes in winter and a T-shirt in the summer. That would certainly be one way of eliminating some of the "white collar jobs" which critics of youth claim are proving too attractive.

Placing juvenile delinquents in foster homes has often proved effective in chang- ing their habits and attitudes. Now On- tario is exploring the possibility of re- habilitating older prisoners by placing them in private homes. It seems strange that not so long ago "advanced" thinkers were beginning to regard the‘ home and family

as obsolete.

"To be a member of the rising genera- tion in Canada today is to be in a most enviable position, I assure you." So spoke Chairman P. W. Litchfield of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company recently. When young he went to Ohio in response to the call of "the West". Today. were he mak- ing the choice he would point towards Canada because this country offers bound- less opportunity.

The mutiny on board H. M. S. Bounty occurred this date 1789. Under Capt. Wil- liam Bligh she had been sent out to intro- duce the bread-fruit plant into the West Indies from Tahiti. After a 6-months’ stay at Tahiti. however, many of the‘crew were unwilling to leave. They cast Bligh and some others adrift to sail over 1,000 miles in an open boat to Timor. Bligh eventual- ly attained the rank of vice-admiral. Most of the mutineers were punished or mur- dered but one John Adams survived to head the,little colony they founded on Pitcairn Island. ’

NOTICE TO TENANTRY

From I notice by W. Douse. laud agent, addressed to the tcnantry or the Selkirk estates. Nov. 14, 1837. "The trustees and executors of the late Earl of Selkirk, proprietor of lands in this Colony, have ever shown themselves desirous of giv- ing good encouragement to an lndunrlou: Tenantry, and have instructed me to receive from you, in payment of Rents, merchant- able agricultural produce. for which the highest prices will be allowed, it delivered immediately. To you that In in arrears of Rent, and unable to pay in cash or produce. I favourable opportunity is also af- forded, to make payment in labour, on advantageous terms.

"The mode of payment, liberal rents, and long term of your leases will. I trust, be A sufficient hint. to you that. are unwilling to pay thirty shillings instead of ii pound, to make immediate remittances. You may rest assured ihat. :aCh of you will be called on for pay- ment of your Rents. forthwith, and that, for the future. they must. be paid :: they become due; if not. the law will be resorted to, And rigorously enforced, for re- covery. without any distinction of pcnom. The utmost leniency will be exerciud toward industrious :et.t.lers. and even those desirous of quitting their farms; any ten- ant, therefore. wishing to give up his lease and premises in proper order, during the present winter, mall have a receipt in full of All demands. on payment of one year’: rent; or, if he can make ule of his farm ‘to better advantage, and the purchaser be approved of. he will be accepted as a tenant. and be held liable for the amount. due. _

“That. the Tenantry may not de- ceive thcmaelvu with the idea of Lord Selkirk‘: property being es- cheated. I will merely observe to you, that the conditions of the Grants have been fully complied with. :5 required by the Govern- ment . . . I shall appeal to your good sense. to avoid being deluded by artful individuals. who may be endeavouring to deceive you, and to refuse compliance with the terms of your agreement: or leases.

The radar speed control device is. indeed. nothing to argue with. It talks back with ll piece of graph paper on which your exact. speed is calibrated in very cuuvincinl red ink. so convincing. in fact,

that of the first 56.000 motor- ists arrested on this type of evidence. almost. exactly 99.44% either pleaded or were proved guilty.

To the ‘police, these convic- tion figurea :i-e : godsend. The old saw that certainty of conviction is the greatest. deterrent. to crime works. for traffic violators. too. since excessive speed is the most important factor in fatal trai- flc accldent:—4.ll% of All high-

way deaths are caused by illegal cpeed. according to in- surance stnti:t.lcs—t.he radar dc-

vlce'1 advocates, expect. it. to aave many lives.

. The complete unit. can be pack- ed into a cue somewhat. taller and thicker than in portable type- writer and weighing less than 40

pounds. . The transmitter can be put on the fender of I police cu-

parkcd along the highway. When the switch is on it. will clock the speed of every car that come; along up to 100 miles an hour. If two come along together it. picks the fastest. The exact. speed registers on A dial ln:idc the police car.

How it. work: i: somewhat incomprchcnslve and it. may be a gross ovcrclmplification to say that it draws its power from the nutomoblle battery and sends out. I constant. stream of microwaves to an effective distance of about 175 feet.

When in car moves into this stream the microwaves bounce back to the instrument, some- thing like the way an echo is produced, and the length of time it. tnku them to bounce back indicates the rate of speed of the automobile. If I permanent record is desired I separate unit. records the speed on ii graph paper on which the exact. time and place of the check is also recorded.

If the apecd is excessive the cop can give chase :nd make the arrest. himself. More com- monly. though. he has I pal staked out. about.‘ I. mile down the road. He notes the make of car and the license number and gives hi: buddy the infor- mation over the radio tele- phone. and radar claims another
