Baden-Powell's Legacy 5, . An iinprcssive ceremony was held I yesterday at Westminster Abbey. I I l.onrlnn, marking the ititlth anniver- sary of the birth of Lord Baden- Powell. founder of the Boy Scout ' movement. Countless thousands par- ticipated in spirit. for it is a move- ment which includes lioys and girls, men and women, of every colour. class and creed. and which has grown in recent years into one of the Crcalcst (ll'ZElIlll.:lIi(lh5' for peace

and understanding that the world A hac known. I This Province has played an

zictne part in the Scout moveineiit,

and )cslcrday's activities were an

Indication of the eutliusiasni which

prei ails locally. Tlicre will be other . observations of the anniversary

throughout the )curs. including four Centenary World ("amp meetings. The celebrations will take many forms. but they will all adhere in spirit to the great aim of the organ- ization as enunciated by its founder. This, in hrief. is. by means of games and outdoor life to develop good citizenship among the younger gen- eration by training them in habits of observance, obedience and self- reliance, inculcating loyalty and ser- vice for others, and promoting phys- ical, mental and spiritual develop- ment. This was the legacy Baden- Powell left to the world, and it has paid marvellous dividends to all participating in it throughout the years.

Big Responsibility In the Commons' debate on the setting up of the culture-producing Canada Council, Prime Minister St. Laurent expresed the hope that the Council would be "independent" of

he finally accepted from the Oppo- stion provides only that the Council shall make an annual report to Par- liament. It is not clear whether that is to be merely I pro forma proced- ure or whether it will give Parlia- ment the opportunity of inquiring further into the Council's work and, where it may be thought advisable, to offer recommendations for its Improvement. There is good reason, however, for permitting the latter course. After all, the spending of Hill) million a year for ten years, with other large amounts to be forthcoming as "windfalls" from time to time, is a fairly big responsi- bility: and since the people are pro- viding the funds it seems fair that their representatives in Parliament should have something to say about how they are spent.

As was pointed out in the debate, Parliament represents the whole of Canatiu--at least, it does in thcory-- while the 21 member Council will, by the very nature of its functions. he i'i-presciitative of a relatively small part of the population. It is not a good thing to give totalitarian power to any select group, no mat- ter how well qualified they may be for the tasks assigned them.

Governmental control of the (Tan- a"a Council would. of course. be dis- astrous to the purpose it is intended to serve. It is important that fool- proof safeguards against this possi- bility he gt-.'-vi:zi”t"”d at all times. But there is I world of difference be- tween (imcrnnicntal control and I reasonable measure of Parliament- ary supervision. It is to be hoped, that in trying to insure against the former the latter will not by over- looked.

these term: was that Egypt would stop all allow Israeli shipping to use the Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba. When it came Secretary Dulles' turn to make

raids against Israel and

a statement he said that in view of

Mr. Hammarskjolds report he was

".-'at'ist'ied" that Egypt would refrain

from all acts of bclllgerency against

Israel and that, therefore, there was

no longer any reason why Israel

should insist on guarantees as a

condition for withdrawing her forces

from the Gaza Strip and the Gulf of

Aqalia. Apparently. both Mr. llam-

niarskjold and Mr. Dulles were un-

mindful of the fact that the terms

of the Armistice Agreement to which

they referred were drawn up more

than eight years ago and ignored by

ligypt ever since. Either that, or

they must be naive enough to be-

lieve that Egypt's word is more de-

pendable than it was then--a pre-

posterous supposition if ever there

was one!

if Egypt really intended to keep

its pledged word. it would be the

easiest thing in the world for Nas- scr to come to terms with Israel. Indeed, he would welcome the sta- tioning of the 1'. N. force in the two troubled spots as a guarantee of his good intentions. But, no. lie merely whispers a promise into the ears of Mr. llammarskjold who, in turn. confides the good word to Mr. Dulles ---and all is well'. Why. even a ten year old child would have no diffi- culty in seeing through that simple duplicity. No wonder the Israelis are dissatisfied with the "assuran- ces" (not guarantees. it is to be noted) which Mr. Dulles has offered them. They would be fools to trust the security of their country to sup- ports made of such flimsy materials.

EDITORIAL NOTES

It is reported that oil slick on the seas of the world destroy hundreds of thousands of wild fowl annually. In fact. the accident toll is many times greater than the legal killings.

The Government of Cuba has banned rock 'n roll programs from the country's T.V. system. That's I very good beginning in efforts to build up I distinctive national cul- ture. Other countries with similar cultural ambitions might do worse than follow suit.

The surprising thing about the recent by-election in England was not that Labour won it but that the candidate for the "Empire Loyal- ists" managed to scrape up 1500 votes. Who ever would have thought there were so many Empire-com scious voters around?

0 O O

Abba Eban, Israel's ambassador to the United States and head of his country's delegation to the U.N., is reported to be a very astute dip- lomat. He certainly is an accom- plished spcaker, probably the most accomplished among all U. N. rep- resentatives. He Is withal I scholar of note.

0 I O The leader of the West German Social Democratic Party who visited Washington recently says he told President Eisenhower that although he is opposed to German member- ship in the Atlantic Alliance he is not in favour of closer relations with the Soviet Union. It is not likely that the President appieciatcd the distinction. O O D It seems that almost everybody except the Queen herself knows all about her "plans" to visit the United States, Canada and Australia. In due course, no doubt, Her Majesty will make I trip to one or more of the countries mentioned. But It would be better to let the first word come from official sources. 0 I O The American general who has been appointed chief of the Military and Advisory group in Saudi Arabia is reported to be 6 ft. 7 in. tall. That makes him 3 inches taller than King Saud himself. It will be strange If that doesn't lead to some sort of friction. King Saud is not one to admin: any kind of superiority in I foreigner.

Why was the Prcinicr and De- fcnce .'tlinisicr Snndys under fire? The Opposition w.-mt defence costs slashed. They viant as least a third of the country's aiiiiiiul S-t.2lltl mil- lion defence hudi.'et chopped away.

And from the Government as well as from the Opposition. from the Press and from enlightened senior service officers. the cry is growing for uiodcrnisalion and streamlining of the British Army ivhlch is still. when butllc forma- tions are considered, not much dif- ferent from World War 1 days.

PRPAIIING YOUR CHILD FOR TRIP TO HOSPITAL

Take I tip from Georilo Wash- ington-don't fib.

but tell your child the truth when . he hu to so to the hospital for I trutment or In operation.

Advise him cIlmly and truth- fully just why it is necessary for him to leave home and what will happen at the hospital.

Emphasize the fact that his dis- comtort Ind pain will disappear and that the doctors and nurses are his pals and viant to help him.

Find out from the doctor lust what will have to be done.

If surgery is necessary. tell your youngster that the doctor will let him smell something that will make him feel nothing. Don't tell him that the doctor will put him to sleep.

Tell him. too. that you will spend I! much time Is possible with him in the hospital Ind assure him that he will come bIck home Is quickly II it can be arranged

DON'1' WORRY HIM

There's no sense worrying I youngster. so you don't h I VI to tell him these things until I day or two before he must leave. If he wants to cry or carry on. let him. It might help him adjust to the situation.

If you don't tell I child the truth, his active imagination might dream up some really horrible vis- ions of hospital life.

Any youngster who is tricked into entering I hospital might suf- fer great shock upon suddenly be- ing left alone in I strange world.

FAVORITE TOY

If your tot hu I favorite toy or blanket. let him keep it with him if the hospital permits. His own palamnil. slippers or bathrube will be comforting. too. They'll serve to form I definite link with his home.

Before you leave him, give him something that can be associated with you, such as I handkerchief. I scarf, perhIpI one of your old purses.

Be sure to he with him before they take him to the opculing room and stay with him until '1c's given the sedative. if the doctor approves. When be awake: follow- ing the surgery. he'll expect to find you at his side. Be there.
