. Atlantic Region Gains

On the basis of new employment statistics released yesterday at Ot- tawa, dealing with the situation at mid-July, the Atlantic region is making its biggest strides in modern times toward sharing in the coun- try-wide economic upswing.

True enough, the latest figures still show the Atlantic region with the second highest level of unem- ployment in the country, but the ratio, even so. is not extreme, and the relative position, in comparing the level for this region with that for the whole country, has register. ed improvement.

Within recent memory it has not been at all unusual to find un- employment in the Atlantic region running at a rate more than twice as high as that for all-Canada. But the latest figures show it less than one-third higher.

While the general figure for Canada estimated the jobless total as constituting 3.7 per cent of the labor force, the ratio for the Atlan- tic region stood at 4.8 per cent, or 1.1 per cent worse.

At the same period last year the figure for Canada stood at 4.2 per cent and for the Atlantic region at 5.5 per cent. With both showing an improvement this year -—- by .5 per cent for Canada and by .7 per cent for the Atlantic region —— the gain here has been by .2 per cent more than that for the country as a'whole.

Expressed in statistics the gains do not seem large, but they are suf- ficient to indicate a significant strengthening in this region's econ- omic position.

Once again the Atlantic region has a better employment showing than Quebec, where the figure for jobless at mid-July stood at 5.1 per cent, or .3 per cent higher than here, although Quebec likewise showed an improvement when this year is compared with last.

In comparison with the latest figure for the whole of Canada, here is how the five main regions rank: Quebec — 1.4 per cent higher; At- lantic —- 1.1 per cent higher; Pac- ific —- .6 higher; Ontario — .9 low- er; Prairies -—— 1.5 lower.

Actual levels of unemployment as shown for the five regions were: Quebec — 5.1 per cent; Atlantic 4.8 per cent; Pacific —- 4.3 per cent: Ontario —- 2.8 per cent; Prairies — 2.2 per cent.

In most industrial societies, un- employment levels of from 3 per cent to as high as 6 per cent are considered "manageable".

His 15 Cents' Worth

As a first result of last week’s Visit to this province by a Canada- Wide party of press people, two columns from the Windsor Star, written by John Linblad. a member of the party, have reached The Guardian, sent along by former Islanders who are now regular read-

Iers of the Ontario paper. 5" And Mr. Lindblad, who writes with a nice light touch in his column, ‘ untitled “Now”, seems to have look-

”Ql the things he had an opportun- to see on the Island. I He gives Dr. Frank MacKinnon

beginnings, he reasons that we can have greater unity. He and a few other Islanders dreamed up the P.E.I. Centennial.

“If his theory proves correct maybe our search for that national “it” that every other country has is over. If not, the sleepy town of Charlottetown has a five million buck-plus facility and a great deal of tourist promotion, courtesy of you, the taxpayer.

‘We follow the theory line —- reo- ognizing the Chamber of Commerce pitch — and hope it pays off. If it does, every cent of the millions is the best bargain in people ever got. If not, you must respect the ingen- uity of Dr. MacMinnon and others with no harm done.

"Dr. MacKinnon... took off on a cross-Canada tour and convinced the premiers of the provinces and the Federal Government that “is 1964 conference was worthy of more than passing notice. By the time he fin. ished his pitch — or crusade —— he talked all the provinces into making a 15 cents per capita grant, match- ed by the Federal Government, for Confederation Memorial Centre. Out of it Charlottetown got a fabulous centre, complete with library, thea- tre... art gallery and something to put it on the map more.

“Some newspapermen with us on this junket are bothered by this. Maybe it’s MacKinnon and his dream -— or pitch — or maybe it’s our Canadian dream which deep down inside all Canadians share.

“We see the bigger picture. May- be if we learn what this nation’s be- ginning was all about and properly reward the founding fathers we will understand ourselves, become more unified and end our search for a nation. That done we can make this ‘our century'. For 15 cents a Can- adian, it’s worth it all."

If nothing more, it must be said that Mr. Lind'blad has spoken his 15 cents’ worth — or even 30 cents' worth, which actually is what is involved per capita — very well.

Uncharted Field

For seven months last year. a U.S. Senate committee held exten- sive hearings on the nation’s man- power problems. Ona central and discouraging fact emerged—the vast ignorance about the likely impact of technological change on produc- tion, employment and society gen- erally. An essential move to cor- rect this misunderstanding is now under way in congress at the repeat- ed urgings of President Johnson. The senate has just passed a bill setting up a 14~member presidential commission to study the question. The House of Representatives ap- proved a similar measure earlier.

This news should be of interest to Ottawa. Canada is faced with a similar problem of anticipating the results of automation, and is doing nothing about‘it. Under the U.S. Congress proposal, persons outside the government will make the study and issue recommendations by Jan- uary 1966. Their prime task will be to assess the impact of tech- nological change on the labor force and attempt to chart the course of new job requirements and types of worker displacement over the next ten years.

The commission, notes the Mil- waukee Journal, will be working in a comparatively uncharted field. It quotes Labor Secretary Win

as having once remarked in this '

connection: "It is a startling thing that we do not know whether the machines will, within the next five years, thrown an additional five million people out of work, or put to work the five million who are presently out of work . . . This is the Worst form of ignorance.”

Have we heard any voiced raised in the Canadian Commons on this theme? One would imagine that it would be debated with much more intensity than the question of what emblem we shall adopt for a nation- al flag design.

EDITORIAL NOTE

Latest figures show that Canada is now among the English-speaking world's highest social spenders. Welfare costs in this country, at the end of 1962, represented 12.8 percent of its net national income andhsdgrownbyliSpcx-centlnthe previous 12 years. The correspond- ing figure in Britain was 12.6 per cent: in the United States 8.5 per cent; in Australia, 10.0 per cent; in New Zealand 14.8 per cent.

Two high-in-the-isky satellites will funnel important cloud data to forecasters during the 1964 hurricane season, providing the most complete picture of weath- or conditions ever coil

The two time-tested sentinels, 'I‘lros VIII and Tirol VIII, are ex- pected to be joined in August by Nimbus, America’s newest and most advanced weather obser- vation station.

Four years ago the projects were in the experimental stag- es: today they play an integral part in weather forecasting. The Time series, launched April 1, 1060, marked the beginning of one of America‘s most success- ful satellite ventures, the Na- tional Geographic Society says.

BROKE RECORD

All eight satellites have per- formed far beyond the normal expectation of three four working months. While only two remain in operation, Tlros VII now has broken the previous 13- month record.

The workaday satellites pro- vide a wide range of weather data — details about ' fronts, thunderstorms, cloud patterns. and moist air regions.

Pictures from two highly sen- sitive cameras are ed rec machines. Facts are then transmitted to earth, much like a pro-taped television show, when the satellite comes within range of a monitoring tower.

WRONG MOVES HURRICANE FORECASTING Important Role For Weather Satellites

National Geographic News Bulletin

provide day-by-day observation of a specific area, a feat Tiros cannot achieve.

Weather forecasters point out that satellites 0 not forecast conditions, but rather observe them. The high-altitude pictures give only part of the information needed to compile a forecast. TWO DAYS’ NOTICE

When a hurricane storm cell is spotted, planes fly into the "eye," or center, of the devel- oping atorm to checkwind in- tensity and pressure. Previously planes were dispatched routine- ly every six hours during the hurricane season. The new ob- servation system saves time and money, because the pilot can pinpoint the area of a storm before taking off.

By tracking storms as they develop, meteorologists can pre- pare forecasts as much as two days earlier than by older

methods. One of the moat dram- atic examples of the value

getting advance weather infor- mation by satellite was the eve- cuation of , from the path of hurricane Carla in Texas and Louisiana in Septem- ber, 1961. Early warning made it possible to prepare the larg- est mass evacuation in the Unit- ed States and to save many liv-

as.

From July, 1061. to June. 1064 in the Atlantic alone, satellites detected 10 atoms and tracked 18 others.

Data from weather satellites now are being put to other uses. Rangers may soon depend on satellites to help them spot for- est fires. A can farmers hope satellites can locate and deterb mine the paths of locust swarms Mariners plan to use them for ice reconnaissance.

This bit of skin tissue may contain sweat gland or hair liolllcle which become active during adolescence The cyst is a potential troublemaker be- cause this area is subject to injury and infection. When the buried cyst becomes infected and pus forms, it behaves like a boil and continues to grow. it ruptures after coming to a head, unless drained surgically.

But this is just the beginning. The opening to the cyst may close but 'it usually remains open because living cells contin- ue to secrete a discharge below the surface. The surgeon waits until all signs of infection aub- side and then removes the cyst and the draining sinuses. This requires an excellent surgical technique; all skin tissue and the tract must be removed.
