Let Us Be Thankful We ought to be a little l( ss ill- clined to grumble about the frequent rains which have accompanied the backward Spring in this region. In-

-leed, we should be thankful for them, considering I h e droughts which already this season have

descended with burning fury. on m;my parts of the world alld to an uncomfortable extent on Wcstcrn t'anada. In Britain lack of rain is rapidly becoming an economic dis- aster. So far. there has been only it little more than 3 inches. the small- psi amount since 1938. Potatoes and

other Spring crops are suffering badly. Grass is drying out in the pa;-titles Some cities are allr-ttl)'

ratlonlni: precious water supplies. One re:-crvoir with a capacity of al- most A billion gallons is empty. LV;.lrItlliL"? have gone out to several lnrlustrial centres that unless es- lrrnic economy is practised. and the drought does not lessen. there will soon be no water for any purpose. A similar condition prevails over a large part of Western Europe. What llould these people give for rain two or three times a week?

It is too early to say whether or not the dry conditions will spread to this part of the world; but cer- tainly the possibility exists. Mean- while. let lis be thankful for the rains that have fallen so generously to water the soil and fill the wclls. Too much is an inconvenience. bllt except when it. develops into floods -which. thank God. do not often fall to our lot---is infinitely bfvtter

than too little.

A Neighbourly Gesture

Four young priests. natives of st Province which has supplied per- haps more than its statistical sllare of vocations for the. propagation of the faith under the various Chris- tian traditions. said their first so- lemn masses Sunday momitll: i" their respective parish churches among their lelatives and friends. To each one. and to his family. it was an occasion of joy and gladness. It was an occasioti. too. of public in- terest. as cvidelicerl by the goodly number of (Thristians of other tradi- tions who wero present. to join with their Catholic neighbours in doing honour to the newly ordained priests ---and. even more important. to lmll reverently in R solemn net of praise 1nd thanksgiving.

There was A dark day in the when this sort of neighbourly ges- ture on the llilzliest, plane of human would hardly have

Sn perhaps, despite the cleavages which hinder the Christian ethos from dninfl 1'5 maximum good in the world. there in 3 growing conviction that the things which divide Christian from Christian are not so strong anti p()wCl'lLll as the things which unltt" them with cords of mutual respect. and understanding. It is unlikely that the day will ever come when absolute llniformity in mattcrs of religious dogma and ecclesiastical order will dominate ,Cbrlstian faith and practice. It may be that lb? more zealous proponents of the ecumcnical idea are expecting and asking too much. It will be enoutlit if men and women of different. tradi- tions. each group according to its historic convictions and interpreta- tions. ncknowledge freely with good- will the strength and beauty and good faith of the other's heritage.

with its plans to help build a dam on the Nile for Egypt's benefit. Isn't 111 this the height of folly? Almost anyone would say that 1 country's independence includes the right to make what treaties the gov- ernment may think wise and neces- sary. No country is independent that has to obtain the consent of another power before formulating its foreign policy: as Premier Nasser will find out to his cost once he gets deeply involved in ”friendsbip" treaties with the Soviet Union and its allies. If the Egyptians. after seeing what has happened to other satellites. are fools enough to sell their indepen- dence for Soviet protestations 01 lricndship. it is certain that no oilf- sidc prcssui'c. short of bat". will be able to save them from their fool-

Why Not The Maritimes?

"Those Liberal members at fit- tana who represent. Maritime rou- slituttncics.” says the Toront.o Globe and Mail. ”must feel very uneas.V about the lavish assistance the Gov- ernment proposes t.o give Trans- (laliada Pipe Lines Limited. llere is an American-owned company.

But when the Maritime Provinces ask Ottawa for help of a similar nature. it slants the door in their faces." It cites par- ticularly the complaint of Mr. A. J. Brooks. Conservative member for Royal.

filuch design work has llccn rmtr on various types which firms thought might suit the Royal Au Force.

on this heat when he flew at over l

Thus the sound barrier” ctlcnunl cred at. speeds of 740 mph at sea

level is already behind us. it is i

no longer the threshold of unex- plored territory. Development is sn rapid that we stand today on the threshold of the thermal bar- rier. Intense heat is experienced as aircraft approach speeds twice that of sound. due to friction be- ing caused by passage of the air- eraft through the air. At tremend- ous speeds this gives rise-in the case of meteors and shooting stars to lncnndescencc.

Titus the next generation of Bombers which Britain. Anicric-1 and Russia are all designing must not only be in the 2.000 mph class to count as modern and ill for battle by I905 but must provide means of refrigeration fnr crru and must be constructed of heat resisting mattrials. At 2.000 mph or even at L500 mph-these pro- blems of the heat barrier are be- ing experienced

Jane Was First

Fredericton Gleaner

If asked to choose the quotation from English literature which has caused the most embarrassment to the most people. we'll be inclin- tvl In pick a sentence from Jane Austen's ”North.1nger Ahbcvf a work which lls author completed in I790. allhouzh it was not act- unlly published until lfllfl

Describing her heroine ill the first chapter of the book as a bit of 1 tomboy. Miss Austen says of her: It was not very wonderful that Catherine should prefer crick- et. base ball. riding on horseback. and rum-line about the cottnirg. at the age of fourteen. to books." We call attention to the words "base. ball." --

Nnw. the awkwnrtl thing about this seemingly innocent sentence is that. according to the authoriz- ed version of the history of the sport. baseball-both the name and the game were invented at (looperstown. New York. in llifltl by one Abner Doubleday. who later became a general in the Ameri- can Army.

SHOULD PATIENT BE TOLD?

Would you want your doctor to tell you if you had cnncer?

Most patients would. according to 1 survey conducted by Dr. Otis R. Bowen of Bre .e... Indiana. Reporting on his survey in an is- sue of "Mxlical Times." he says 96.6 per cent of the 471 persons answering his detailed question- naire sald they desired to know the truth.

A greater percentage of those in the 18 to 35 age group than in (he 65 to 90 group said they would want to know.

Anyway fir. Bowen concludes. a doctor an seldom ' ol 1 patient into believing he does not have cancer hen he actually does. at least not l'or very long.

MILK ALLERGY

Allergy to milk may be the cause of chroni' rectal bleeding. according to two doctors in Bom-

ty. India. Rectal bleeding of 1 38-year-old woman was stopped. they report. when her diet was restricted in fruit juice and water.

whenever she was given milk. the hemorrhaging began again. Then they desensitized her by starting with 1 single drop of milk and gradually increasing the allowance by one drop per day. until she was finally able to take the necessary amount of milk without any untoward results.
