Yeslerclay's Election

At the time of writing .the over- all result of yesterday's history- making federal election was still un- rertain, with the two major parties running neck and neck, Conservative gains in the Maritimes and Ontario being offset by the almost solid phalanx of Liberal victories in Que- bec. There can be no question. how- ri-ei-. about the tremendous change which yesterday's voting will mean in the constitution of Canada's next Parliament. (lone uill be the oven whelming majority for our party and 3 the new government---be it Liberal

or Conservativ&will be kept con- ntantly on its toes. Provided the re- suit is not ii complete stalemate. this should mean better administration. and certainly more vigorous repre- sentation for the Maritime Prov-

inces. ,

lined by the defeat of two cabinct

ministrrs. lion. Dr. Gregg and Hon. Mr. Winters.

The ('oiiseiwative gains in the Marltlmes are not hard to account for. Over a nd above other griev- ances. shared in general with other parts of Canada. was the feeling that these Provinces have been badly p treated under the new tax rental i agreements with Ottawa. We believe

this to have been the most important

issue so far as Prince Edward island ' was concerned. According to I Dom- inion bureau of Statistics report published last week. this Province has the fourth highest direct per capita debt of any Province in (an- nda. The figure stands at S206. with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia still higher. Undcr the tax agree- ments the three Provinces zct equal- ization grants totalling little more than one-half that of Quebcc. whosr direct debt per capita is only 581;. A large part of our available revenue must be diverted to servicing this debt burden. It I time when the Tiominion Government has been roll- ing up huge year-end surpluses. in this Province the contrast between our impoverishment and Ottawa's bulglng treasury is particularly strik- lng. we got nothing extra out of tlic new tax deal, and were billed for a million and I quarter dollars over- payment under the. agreement which ? t terminated last March. Our taxpay- ers Wt"i'P rightly concerned about this situation. and they expected evet'.V ' candidate running for office to be alert to its serious implications. (for- talnly they will PXl)W'- fmm """ newly elected representatives. coer- getic action in obtaining I readjust-

New Language

A new language-actually I scientific languazt”-Will URUFP in the reports of the ninth International Congress on Rheumatic Diseases. to be held in Toronto. .lune 23-28. More than 1.000 medical scientists from 40 countries will attend the congress. the first to be held in Canada, and the second in North America.

The new language. lnterlingua. notes the Cape Breton Post, was born of necessity of a single means of communication in essential words used by people in combaitlng afflic- tions so universal and world-wide in attempts to combat them. as arth- ritis and other rheumatic discascs.

Aiistracts of more than 200 pap- ers on these problems have been translated into lnterlingtia and will appear in a tfifi.page volume foi' all dclcgatcs. lnterlingua is the product of i7 years of effort by science academies in Great Britain. France. Italy and the llnitcd States.

lntcrlingua uses a mixture of English. French. Italian. Portugesc and Spanish. and its founders say it can be readily understood by peo- ple who speak any of these langu- ages. For example. the English word "school" is found as ”ccole." ”scu- loa." ”eacuela" and ”escole" in the other languages from which inter- lingua is derived. Grammar is re- duced to a minimum. and the word order is generally the same as in the romance languages-this is to say in the languages that derive mainly from the Latin.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Yesterday's election will cost the ltoniinion treasury about S6.5fi0,000, which is an increase of 3i70fi.0fifi over l.'l.'i.'l, this being accounted for by higher fees to the host of 20fi.000 who registered the voters and who were in charge of polls on Monday.

Cuttii-igl3t5wn On Salt At Meals

i-our moat of us. food would taste pretty fiat without I mu. IIII. But you never realize how much natural salt. or Iodlilm there is in various foods. u atil your doctor places Wu Oil I I01-l' ium-restricted diet.

Generally. our daily conIump- tiou of sodium in one form or an- other totais somewhere betweu three Ind Iix grams.

CUT SALT INTAKE

Simply by eliminating the us 0 of salt in reparing the foods and It the tab c. you can cut this in- take to between 1.000 and 1.51!) milligrams. or I gram to I gram Ind I hall.

For persona Iufferiiig congen- tie heart failure. .h.lSh blood pressure. certain kidney diuull and other illnesses. even this amount may be too much. so the doctor will advise cutting down on sodium intIke.

There's only one way to do it.- confine the diet to tooth with low

s" content.

FRUITS AND VEGETABLE

Raw fruits Ind vegetables ill comprise I major portion of any such diet. becIuIe for the in on part they contain insignificant Imounta of sodium. They Ira especiauy desirable in a sodium- restricted diet. because may add flavor to I meal whi:h might otherwise be lacking in taste.

with other foods. however. you have to be careful.

Animal foods. in general. con- tain in fairly substantial amount. of sodium. Coniieque-uiv. you must consume such items 5: meat. poultry. fish. eggs and milk in restricted amounts.

BANNED FROM DIET

Larger amounts of sodium an found in shellfish and organ meats, so they are usually banned.

The white of an egg contains considerably more sodium thui does the yolk. and the dark meat of I chicken and other poultry has greater sodium content than does the white meal.

Use of nailed broad Ind butter. of course. must be restricted.

However. you don't have to go hungry on I iiall-free diet. There

are plenty of foods you can Int. -
