Blood Donors Needed

This is blood donors week for eight rural clinics throughout the Province, and it is to be hoped that the appeal which is being made will meet with satisfactory response. 1080 donors are required to meet the demand. Facilities for testing Ind cla ifying will be available It all clinics, so that even those who have not previously given their blood may do so without undue delay.

The present rate of donations provides no surplus and it is very important in maintain our quote. New Brunswick Division reports that a shortage of blood is inter- fering with normal treatment of hospitalized patients, and we don't want that to happen here, Actually. the June clinic in Prince County was some 60 donors short of quota, which means that it reached only 94 percent of the objective.

It is well to remember that mod- ern medical techniques require the use of a greater amount of blood derivatives than in the past. The donating of blood is therefore a most necessary public service. That is why six of the eight clinics in operation this week are being sponsored by Royal Canadian Legion branches. The Provincial Command of the Legion has donated a trophy for competition between the branches, and all communities will be compet- ing for the Manning Trophy.

It is a contest in which everyone is concerned—for who can tell where the next pint of blood will be most desperately needed?

Standing Order 5

Scarcely mentioned in the brief debate on the parliamentary pay in- crease at Ottawa was the problem of Parliamentary absenteeism. The two subjects are closely related from the taxpayers' point of view: but then the taxpayers only sit by proxy in Parliament, and their proxies appear to have been more concerned about other matters. But the fact is that absenteeism is be- coming more, not less. of a problem in the House of Commons. and throughout the latter part of the session now adjourned the atten— dance—bad enough on any day of the week—was appallingly low on Fridays and Mondays.

Arthur Blaker devotes a tren- chant article to this subject In the Montreal Gazette, and we make no apology for quoting the gist of it here though we have dealt with it on other occasions.

Under a quaint honor system. each MP is the sole judge of whether he has—or has not—been absent from his duties. And in any event. the penalty provision has so many built-in loopholes and escape hat- ches that it is rarely applicable. Chiefiy it encourages absenteeism on the part of Quebec and Ontario MPs whose home: are within easy btrllting distance of Ottawa.

Members feel that they should come and go as they please. Yet there Is nothing in the rules ounc- tloning such free and easy proced- u'l'e. 0n the contrary. as Mr, Blake- 5 points out, Standing Order 5 of the Commons—unchsnged eIneI Confederation—npmvidee thIt "every member is bound to Ittend the ser- yic' of the House. unless have of them has been given him by the

Mom m the “trod IbeIrioe had to be given. Ind offendorl were dealt with unruly.

Sir John A. Mncdonsld himself was once summoned to the Bar of the Commons for having been absent without leave from I meeting of In elections committee, He duly ap- peared in the custody of the Ser- geant-at—Anne, and presented I defence in the form of I medical certificate.

Not since 1906. however, has the Canadian Commons given serious consideration to a daily record of at- tendance. The project was backed by Lsurier Ind Borden. but each was promptly faced with a revolt from restless backbenchers anxious to preserve their lax attendance system. The project collapsed and the system. with few changes, is still in effect.

Now that all the Members are on full-time 1783'. wouldn’t this be I good time to have Standing Order 5 dusted off?

Down The Drain

We hadn‘t heard about it before, but I debate has been going on in learned circles Ibout the direction in which bath water spirals as it flows down the drain. This is some- thing like coming in at the tail end of I show. because the issue has now been decided according to the Christian Science Monitor, which went to the trouble of consulting Professor Ascher H. Shapiro of the Massachusetts Institute of Technol- ogy on the subject. Presumably he‘s an authority, for the Monitor accepts his verdict without question,

Those who maintained that bath water tends to swirl counterclock— wise in the Western Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern due to the earth's rotation are basically right, it seems. But theirs is a hol- low victory, aa Prof. Shapiro pro< ceeds to show.

He says that forces of friction and turbulence in ordniary sinks and bathtubs overwhelm the minute in- fluence of the earth's spinning. The direction of swirling drainwater, he finds, "seems to vary in an unpre- dictabie manner" under household conditions. But under carefully con- trolled laboratory CLlnd one that suppress the influence of more pow- erful forces, the turning force of the earth’s rotation—over a million times weaker than gravity—will make itself evident.

How does he know? While other scientists have been wasting their time in perfecting ballistic missiles, space capsules. nuclear submarines and whatnot. Frof. Shapiro has been studying vorticity. He has demon- strated the effects of the earth's rotation on drainwater many times with equipment built for an educa- tional film he is prepanng. and thus procured himself I niche in the hall of fame without putting the taxpayers to any burdensome ex- pensc.

And, as the Monitor says, he has diplomatically resolved this an- cient puzzle in a way that leaves both sides of the argument with some glory. It wonders, nevertheless, who is to be praised the more— thoee who stuck with their realiza- tion that basic physical force must. be operating in spite of no direct evidence, or those who stood by their own observation that no preferred direction of swirl could be seen re- gardleu of what the theorists claim- ed.
