Rios? Prime Minister Honoured All our L'IIl'l.('llS will join in the good wishes which are being 9-V tended today to Prime Minister St. Laurent on the occasion of his' seventy-fifth birthday. It is pleasing to note that the anniversary finds the Prime Minister in vigorous health. so much so that he is plan- ning to make a cross-country tour in the forthconiiiig general election campaign. His party followers are niarking today's event with a gala welcome in Quebec CitY. Which will be attended by more than a tliou- sand guests and at which Mr. St. Laurent will speak. Premier Mathe- gnu will be among those prominent in attendance, and there will be a large representation from every Province.

The big function. of course, has political significance. extraordinary if it were not made the occasion of resounding predic- tions of continued success at the polls under Mr. St. Laurent's leader- ship. But other parties can join in spirit in the basic purpose of the celebration, which is to pay honour to a distinguished Canadian. whose success, both in public life and in the legal profession, has been truly phen- omenal. The Prime Minister has al- ready been honoured by scores of universities and other institutions across the land. and it is fitting that

n this milestone in his career should ' be marked as an event of national interest and felicltation.

. A Change In Thinking

It will be recalled that when the Suez crisis was at its height the British Labour. opposition went at the Eden Government with hammers and tongs for having taken military adltlon in Egypt without the know- ledge and consent of the United states. British - American co - opera- tion, they said, was-the one thing needfull for the security of the free world: and they talked about it as lftlt had been their own invention. ltimust have been heartrending to see Mr. Galtskill and his colleagues shedding bitter tears over the threat to: allied unity which Sir Anthony's vi ainy had set loose in a time of stsgess and strain.

Behold the change that has come to Mr. Gaitskill's thinking! Now that , the United States is preparing to - take strong measures in the Middle Hist. if the need should arise, he has Su;.'iZc.stcd that American troops be aid:-i-eff from British soil, on the Eround that their presence might invite an atomic attack by the Soviet i7nion in the event of hostilities in the Middle East.

p it is no secret that last fall some American officials llullcs was among them) were hop. ing that the Conservative Govern- ment would be defeated in the (Torn- mons and replaced by the Labour. Iics. They must shudder as they realize what they would have been up against if their wish had come true.

Parcels For Russia

. A news report says that Mr. John Decore, the Liberal Member of Far- ; liament for an Alberta riding, has requested the Government to con- duct an investigation of agencies in Vancouver and a few other Canadian citigs which look after the sending 0' dllrcels containing food. clothing Ind other necessities to Russia. It Gilt the agencies receive the M1,! fhe contributors, most of J I0 are of Russian ori- I Iervlce fee pay tho

or friend In Russia or one of its satellite states should not be per- mitted to do so, since the Post Office Department accepts parcels for these countries in the normal course of business. Nor should it be thought that the donors are motivated by Communist sympathy. In all likeli- hood, most of the people who receive the parcels are non-Communists, since less than 1062; of the Russian people are members of the Com- munist Party. In any case, it does no harm for Canadians to send food and clothing to needy people what- ever their political beliefs may be. The parcels are not likely to contain articles of military value, and they may help to build a little goodwill, which certainly is not to be belittled these days.

The report says that Bibles are among the books which are eagerly welcomed by the Russians. One rea- son for this is that Bible-printing IS not encouraged by the Communist rulers. other books being considered more helpful to the propagation of the gospel according to Khrushchev, as of course they are. But there is probably another reason, too, that many Russians, despite the atheistic learnings of their system under which they must live, still retain in their hearts and minds a respect for and a devotion to the eternal truths. If the sending of Bibles from Can- ada can help to nourish that respect and devotion. it should be encou- aged in every possible way.

The Franking Privilege

Two members of the House of Commons have been exposed in abuse of their franking privilege- sending out party and personal po- litical propaganda free of postage charge. The defence given in the latest exposure, that of Frank A. En- field, member for York-Scarboro, is that "they all do il."

"Whether they 'all do it' or any considerable number or only two or I few do It,'' comments the Ottawa Journal, "the thing should be stop- ped-for the simple reason that it should be the first duty of lawmak- ers to set an example in respect for the law and also because MP's have no more right than any of the rest of us to take from the Post Office money w hlc h doesn't belong to them."

The Journal suggests that "the man who can stop this filching from the Post Office-for that is what it is-is the Prime Minister. We think he should stand up in the House, make clear to MP's what the frank- ing privilege is and tell them that any violation of it in the future will be dealt with by the House of Com- mittee on Elections and Privileges.”

Egypt has threatened to take military action against Israel if the lalter's troops are not withdrawn from Gaze promptly. If that's all the Israelis had to worry about they could sleep well. The fact that 5,000 Egyptians and only 4 Israelis were captured in last fall's fighting bears witness to that. O O G

Mr. St. Laurent has eloduently rlcfended Federal grants to univer- sities. "This is something," he said, "that is in the interests of the nation as it whole, that is almost indispen- sable to the proper development of the nation as a whole." The same argument could be used with even greater force for grants to e" ication on lower levels of administration: for surely it is in the primary schools that the foundation of the educative process is laid.

Ulfana: Canada's grmxing sla- his as an international poiH'r is reflected in the annual bill for I our diplomatic service. I

This has grown faster than the cast of any other federal de- partmcnt over recent years. Two years ago, it was nearly 544.flt)f).- 000; but this coming year it is estimated to total over 558.- 0()0.000 - an increase of 33 per I cent in three years.

Canada maintains diplomatic and at various international or- ganizations such as U.N. and N. A.T.0. These foreign missions range in size from 96 persons : in Britain. to 5 in Uruguay. The I cost of operating these missions ranges from !72li..'iSfi for that in France, with its staff of 59 per- sons, to a more S-tl..'l9tl for the staff of 5 in Uruguay.

Our department of External Af- fairs employs ncarly 2.000 men and women, Including local help such as lypisls, gardeners and chauffeurs in foreign countriesm

The operational kernel of this i staff consists of some I;20 "foreign service officers". These are our t cnrccr diplomats They are nor- mally selccled by competitive ex- amination after graduating fmm ,5 university. and join the depart-i m-znt as Grade One olficcrs. paid ' from 83,900 to 34.800 per year.

So every member of our dip- lomatic service draws I represent- ational allowance or. as it is of- ficially called. ”allowances for living expenses including costs of representation", while posted I- broad.

This allowance is designed to enable our diplomats to live in

foreign countries in the standard '

which we like those countries to conside as the Canadian nonnal -as misleading as average American llvlng standard from Hollywood films. This al-

' lowance is also Inteded to defray

the cost of that occupational haz- ard of all diplomats - namely win- in and dining other diplomat and native celebrities. INFLATION THERE T00

in addition, our foreign service officers while in certain countries draw an "allowance to meet high- er costs of living abroad".

This scale of allowances gives I combination view of the dip- lomatic importance Ind economic inflation of foreign countries. For example, our ambassador in Eire. which our government insists upon incorrectly naming "Ireland"', last year received 8ll.o00 In sal- ary and 35.112 in allowances. In few countries outside South Amer- ica did the Imbnssado 'I allow- ance total loss than his salary. while In some countries it sored to nearly double.

For example. Ambassador Ar- nold Heeney in Washington drew 313.500 salary and 324,996 allow- ances: High Commissioner Nor- man Robertson in London drew Sl3.500 and 324,192; and Ambas- sador J. Desy In Paris drew 813.500 Ind 327.980. apparently indicating that we rate it import- ant to put up a good mom in France. and equally indicating that the French have to pay higher for lhelr highly pleasant standard of living.

In addition to maintaining Em- bassies and similar offices in many countries. our Department of External Affairs also manl- tains I fleet of cars. Last year, it spent SL202 at General Mn- fors.

One could not know "Dad" Ycunker uitlimit realizing that he had "charity towards all and malice towards nnne." indeed it

of any contradiction that there would not be any trouble any- where, anytime, if he were expect- ed to start it. in this respect I am reminded of another great citizen of Brackley, Jack Mac- Leod. who passed away ill years ago. in his office at Royalty Jct.

"There is so,much bad in the best of us. and so much good in the worst of us. that it til belinves any of us to find the faiill in the rest of us." It was Mr. Jricksnn that I know most intimately. As I next-door neighbor and my Sunday School teacher, Mr- Jackson impressed me with his complete devotion to Christian principles. llcspitc the passage of many years. the les- sons and daily examples he im- parted to us will not he quickly forgotten. in the last five years it has been my privilege on many occasions to give lectures to members of the armed forces on the threat of Communism and of its evil con- cept of man Is an economic ani- mal governed entirely by mater- iallslic motives and designs.

POSTURE AFFECT! HEALTH

Good posture is I habit. Unfor- tunately, poor posture is. too.

Correct posture is desirable for Ippearauc-e's sake. but Il.'l also essential for good health. Whe- ther you're standing or sitting. pos- ture has I direct effect on your ef- ficiency, comfort and body func- lions.

If you slump, you not only feel uncomfortable. but your blood cir- culntion is reduced, your breath- ing is shallow and your abdomin- al organs sag. and function im- properly. You"ll probably become tired much more easily.

GOOD POSTURE

Proper posture. on the other

hand, permits use of the body in

the simplest and most effective-

way. Because of proper balance. iliythm, timing. coordination and muscle contraction and relaxation. you can do everything much more easily if you maintain good pos- lure.

What is good posture? Well. you should appear to be standing straight when viewed from the side. An imaginary vertical line should be able to pass through the ankle. hip. shoulder and ear. NATURAL POSITION

You don't have to assume I mill- ltary ramrod position. Good. straight posture actually is I nat- ural pasition. Practice it and it soon will become a habit.

First. of course. you'll have to break the poor posture habit many of you undoubtedly have. The backache and foot and leg pains which frequently accompany bad posture will help remind you of the need for doing something a- bout it.

Some persons may be unable to assume good posture even though they try. Luckily they are In the minority. But if you find that it is virtually impossible to stand in In (-reef position. better see your doctor about it.

Sometimes there are physical imperfections which contribute to bad posture. This Is a problem for your physician.
