The purpose of the resolution is make clear that in the view of the Associa- tion of Canadian Clubs, funds spent on so- callcd "technical assistance" are a waste of money unless governments and people alike in the under-developed countries understand and adopt those standards of geconomic conduct upon which the high llvlng stand- ards of the donor countries rest.

Mr. Eden at least hopes to get his persuasive force from the Colombo Pow- ers and is at least doggedly working in that direction. Mr. Dulles doubts whether there is time for this, but he does not say where the military force is, in fact, to come from.

Substantial sums have been spent in Ontario on the standardization of fire hose thread as part of the civil defence pro- gramme. Maritime fire chiefs meeting this week in Sydney will discuss possible ex- tension of the plan to this part of the country.

Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin and 11th Earl of Kincardine, was born this date 1766, a brother of the 6th earl. He was a soldierand diplomat and while en- voy to the Porte gathered the famous col- lection known as the "Eigin Marbles." They are portions of the frieze of the Parthenon and other buildings, medals and inscriptions, containing specimens of all the variations of the Greek alphabet. But for his action they would probably have been destroyed by the Turks who were using the Parthenon for target practice. Salvage costs alone, after a shipwreck, came , to 374,000 but the earl turned the marbles over to the British Museum for 135,000. His son was Governor General of what was then Canada and s grandson was born in Montreal. , T
