For Thanksgiving Let us place high among our causes for thanksgiving at this time the visit of our gracious Sovereign to our shores. the warmth of welcome we have been able to show her, and the reassuring eviden- _ces that the remainder of her visit “‘ to Canada will follow the same pat— ‘: tern, in accord with the prayers and wishes of the vast majority of our H citizens of every province. The fears that were expressed earlier have CI notably diminished in this regard, and it is not improper for us to ex- COn press our devout thanks that we fine have been instrumental, in some Hol- . . . . mmeasure. in bringing about this re- ed“ suit. :2"; In this favored land it is well Tthat we should be reminded of the {if plight of others. equally deserving, dayto whom hardship and hunger are the the accustomed lot.

The report shows food prices went up 100 per cent in In- donesia, 68 per cent in the Congo, 67 per cent in Brazil, 59 per cent in Chile. Mainland China is not in- cluded in the report—which gives Oanother twist to the irony of a mmsituation where a nation of 700 Waimillion human beings remains out- Muside the orbit of UN. consider- 23(ations. the But. we can view our own short- I" comings at shorter range than that. warlPeople in other lands today are Howondering what has happened to XLCanada, that it should be question- .ming its future in so many foolish EI0words. With so much to be thank- Co;ful for. we seem determined, in our beldomestic bickerings. to make the Luworst of everything instead of the behest.

MonSignor Murphy flit This Province has lost one of its gmost revered figures in the passing 'of Monsignor J. A. Murphy, DD, a‘former rector of St. Dunstan’s Uni- sf‘versity and honorary Vicar General “bf the Roman Catholic diocese of Charlottetown. He was widely luknown to all sections of our people, find was singularly endowed with adeadership qualities and with the incapacity for making enduring Btfriendships. ’Monsign'or Murphy was rector lbf the university for nearly two Tdecades, during which time phenom- ;enal progress was made in the in- troduction of an adult education orogram, the erection of the present science buildings, the enactment of degree-granting legislation, and .shc admission of the first oo-eds to the institution. But over and above these achievements was the éixnder his influence. He had taught mathematics at

hood, to which he was ordained by

equal zeal and dedication as pastor at Kinkora and Souris parishes. Those latter years, too, were ones of fruitful achievement, rounding out a career which reflected credit not only upon his own church and faith, but upon the community at large.

This newspaper was indebted to Monsignor Murphy for many acts of courtesy and consideration over a long period of years. But we were not singular in that rega rd, for he was noted at all times for his warmth of human sympathies, his genial disposition, and his concern for the feelings of others. These were traits which made him belov- ed as well as admired, and with which his name will long be as- sociated by our citizens.

Mr. Speaker McLean

It is with deep regret that our citizens will learn of the death, last evening, of the Hon. John R. Mc- Lean, Speaker of the Provincial Legislature, and president of the well-known mercantile firm of Mai- thew and McLean, of Souris.

Mr. McLean came from a fam- ilv which has been prominent for many years in the public life of this Province. His father, the late Hon. Harry D. McLean, was a long-term member of the Legislature and a member, for some years, of a form- er Conservative government. His grandfather, Senator John Mc- Lean, was first elected to the Leg- islature back in 1882 and to the House of Commons in 1891. He returned later to the provincial field until called to the Senate in 1915.

Mr. Speaker McLean worthin upheld the traditions of his family, and was noted in the House for the fair and impartial manner in which he discharged his responsible duties. Courtesy and fair dealing were in- deed typical of all his actions. both in business and political affairs. The respect in which he was held was as marked among political op- ponents as among his own party colleagues, for it was a respect due to qualities of integrity that owed nothing to the accidents of partisan alignment.

His death, at the comparatively early age of 58. is indeed a loss to his community and province. To his wife. his children and sisters, The Guardian joins in extending sympathy in their bereavement at this time.

Co-operalion Welcomed

The Financial Post reports, ap- preciatively, that Ottawa is moving steadily to put into force many of the money-saving. red-tape-cutting recommendations of the Glassco commission on government manage- ment, and that federal civil aer- vants—nervous at first about the commissiion—are now cooperating cheerfully with the teams of man- agement consultants who moved into four federal departments after the Glascco report appeared. ‘

This cooperation, adds the fin- ancial paper. isn't as surprising as it might seem. Many of Canada’s senior civil servants know that the federal service is flabby, inefficient, extravagent—burdened down with old-fashioned methods and stultify- ing restrictions. They agree that the civil service machine could util- ise to much better effect than at present the collective competence and devotion of its personnel.

To the competent and devoted government worker, the commis- sion’s recommendations offer the hope of doing a better job for the Canadian public, a higher standard of service and a much greater self- respect.

“What’s good for Canada’s civil servants,” adds The Post, “is equal- ly good for Canada's taxpayers. With the federal government now spending $7,500 million a year, we need a highly efficient service, rep- resenting—and getting—full value for every tax dollar. And along the line, we should save some tax dollars.”

EDITORIAL NOTE

A press report from Scotland tells of a bagpipe concert being giv- en at the Glasgow Zoo recently, which proved newsworthy an ac-

count of the animals’ reaction. Ac, cording to the zoo director, th e hycnaa nearly went frantic. The

tigers seemed interested. The zoo’a “swearing cockatoo” reacted with some of the worst swearing the di- rector had ever heard.

INTERPRETING THE NEWS Canadian-US. Policies chiiI Election

The United States election campaign as usual has put some I Canadian- American problems I into a state of suspended anim—

wheels ,continue to goi around on contacts along a bor- der that may be undefenced militarily but which has a lot of economic barbed wire in place.

But any significant shift In the direction or speed of the wheels is being left until after Nov. 3.

This applies to matters as di- verse as a new air agreement or whatever new policy Canada may decide to adopt on recogni- tion of mainland China diplo— matically. The state department is understood to feel that Can— ada at the least is one of the l countries most likely to join the group extending recognition to ‘ Peking — just on Canada‘s rec- ‘ ord in trade and public pro-l nouncement. l

Sir, ——I wonder if you have I space in your paper whereby a man may voice a complaint, i which I feel would in all probab- I ility. be the opinion of a great i

number of not only the Charlot- ‘ u

tetown citizens but also of most I visitors to the city. I

To stand on the corner of I Grafton and Queen watching l the poor foot sloggerrs trying to make their way across this in- . tersection is really something to see. t’s a mad race for every- one but the car drivers.

They sit comfortably in their cars and when the light signals all clear they have plenty of time to get away. not so on foot. When you get the Walking sign- al you must be quick to make the other curb before the signal changes. I tried it and there is no time to spare. An aged per- son could not make it across and so would have to trust to tile mercy of the motorists for his or her safety.

Surely the poor soul on foot should be given the preference over a high powered engine. Flesh cannot compete with steel, so why can't we be a lit- tle more human and think more of our fellowman. We are not going anywhere and we could

Huge profits derived from this trade are being used. ac- cording to the paper. for anti- Soviet propaganda and to sub- sidize “the puppets of the Pek- ing splitters”.

Communist China's tremen-

dous stake In this infamous trade is well known. It is a major source of the regime's foreign currency, enabling it to pay for much of what it buys in the West.

ccord i n g to Pravda, from

A pro- duction increased 000

tons annually in 1952 to 8:000 tons in 1958. J The interesting thing about

all this is that the Soviet Union is attacking the Chinese for “adopting the methods of the imperialists" and collaborat- ing with the owners of opium dens.

Granted that "imperialists" are favorite bogeymen of Com- munist propaganda machines, even so, the reference is obsc- Wesfern nations spend millions through law enforce- ment agencies trying to stamp out the illicit narcotics trade.

If the reference is to history, then it can have litflle meaning 'n a modern context. Govern- ments have long ceased to allow

free trade in narcotics, just as they have long cea per- mit traffic in slaves. Like so

much else that happened in the past and is seen in the light 'of present - day conscience. the opium trade carried on in the nineteenth century appears inhuman.

The Soviet Union long ago knew all about this infamous trade carried on by the Chinese Communists. If it is so offen- sive to the Russian Communist conscience, why did It not speak out against It long ago? The truth is. until two years ago the Soviet Union and Com. munist Chlna were friends.

These have been shelved until after the election. So were simi- lar talks with Japan.

There has been no joint deci- sion yet to refer the low water levels on the Great Lakes to Lu.- International Joint Commission dealing with Canada - U.b. boundary water problems. But this delay might be due to fac- tors far removed from any elec- tion date.

AVOID TOUCHY TOPIC

It is also reported that despite keen US. interest In whethei Canada intends to recognize Communist China, the subject tends to be avoided. However, Canadian observers say that the U.S. state department obviously feels Canada is on the brink.

State department officials themselves c a u t I o u sly point back at the' Canadian govern- ment’s stated intention to re- view the situation after the nexs United Nations general assem- bly.

The UN assembly will meet in mid-November, a date selected with an eye on the American election.

At that assembly, many ex. pect, Mainland China either will finally gain admittance or score a moral victory by coming even closer than in the past.

Ways To Avert

'Aginol Pain

By Dr. Theodore ll. Van Dellen The treatment of angina pec~ torla has changed little since the turn of the canon-y. Victims of this condition develop chest pain after excitement. exercise, or overeattng. They obtain Im- mediate relief when 3 nitroeg cerine tablet ls placed under the tongue. This remedy la one of many organic compounds (ni- trites) that relaxes the coronary arteries and relieves heart pain. Amy] nitrite was the first to It is a highly volatile, fruity-pungent liquid that was available in a fragile glass vial It was placed in a handbrchlei, crushed, is inhaled." itro- glycerine has replaced the vials because tablets are‘easier to carry and use.

Nitroglycerinc Is used occas- ionally to prevent as well as to ease attacks. This is done by placing a tablet under the ton sue on leaving for work in the morning, making it possible to walk to the station without de veloping pain at the halfway mar

Physicians may recommend a tetranitrate or a product such as Nitroglyn that provides weaker but a more prolonged relaxation of the coronary arteries. These medications are available in ordinary and in long- acting or timed release tablets. They are said. to offer protection for a! longer time but many sufferers still prefer the old reliable, nitroglycer'me.

ewer remedies include op- erations that improve circula- tion to the heart muscle. These procedures recommended only when the attacks occur fre-

quently and are disabling. A two or three week rest in bed helps others in this category.

Sedatives are useful when chest pain follows excitement. These individuals should avoid situations that bring on anger. anxiety, _or frustration. Cold winds also encourage the pangs. This is offset by holding a scarf over the mouth or wearing a heated mask when walking in winter gales. Smaller meals cause less distress than larger ones.

DRYING DRUGS

R D. writes: I'm 17 and per- spire excessively over all parts of the body.I read of a drug that dries out the pores. Would this be a solution to my prob- lem?

REPLY

Probably not, because these drugs have side reactions that are just as uncomfortable as excessive sweating.

NOTES BY THE WAY

Two Aberdeen women were holding a atalrhead confab one morning on the troubles of life. and husbanda In particular. “I dinna wonder at some puir wiv- ea having to help themselves out of their husband's trouser pockets,” remarked the rst. “I canna say I like them under- hand ways myself," remarked the secondmatron. “I jist turn ma mom’s breedaea doomlde up and help masel’ off the car- pet."-- Montreal Star.

Looking out of the window in the rest- aurant, he remarked to the wait- ress: "This Is like the flood." “The what?" “The flood. Sure- ly you have heard about the great flood and Noah and tne Ark." "Mister." she replied. "I haven’t seen a newspaper In four days!"— Galt Reporter.

Facts Not Understood '

Finance Minister Gordon's bland assurance that "the facts are generally understood” doesn't square at all with the confusion w to has arise over the Government's handl- ing of the student loan plan.

The facts were not understood by those in universities and In Parliament who - read the , Gov- ernment’s offic i a 1 brochure quite differently than Mr. Gor- jon. The Minister of Finan- ce had to explain a pamphlet which purported to explain how the loans would work. Some pamphlet!

The facts were not understood by those who thought they could take advantage of the plan to invest borrowed cash pt

.' personal profit.

Nor were the facts understood

by atudenta who tried to obtain loans even though ey do not need such assistance. Assessing the needs of individual students la a provincial and. ultimately. a unlverslty nutter. Bu the re- ports of the way the loan fund was quickly exhausted at some schools do not suggest that an effective means test was given. an g and the abuses do not change the fact that the stu- dent loans are an admirable means of allowing students to complete their university edu- cation. The loan plan is a far cry from the Liberal promise-of 10,000 scholarships but is wel- come none flhe less and perhaps more economical. Ills another case of hastily- concelved legislation for a good idea sloppily administered.

Russian Boundaries

New York Herald-Tribune

The new nationalism within the Communist camp is report- ed to have stirred up a hornet‘s neat over the perennial bound- ary questions of Eastern Eur- ope. During the period of absol- ute Moscow domination of its neighbors (Stalin In the Krem- lin: little Stalins among the sat- ellites) these Issues were so thorouyily muffled that they wene nearly forgotten.

But as the spirit of Independ- ence grows, it is worth recalling that there has never been a de- finite determination of the lim- lts of the successor states of the Dual Mmm‘chy of Austria-Hun- gary or, for that matter, of those of the- Ottoman Empire In the Balkans»

The succession of Balkan wars preceding the First World War were largely boundary wars. After the 1918 armistice, new border clashes raged across Central Europe. Even when the actual fighting simmered down, every country cherished hopes of regaining some irredenta at its neighbor’s expense, and Hit- ler played on these hopes in breaking up the system of al- liances that France had created in Eastern Europe.
