Pope Paul's Mission | _ Tt is at the invitation of Secretary- | General U Thant that Pope Paul is | making his unprecedented visit to | New York today ‘to address the United Nations General Assembly. This is an historic event indeed, and it comes at a time when there js & general ecu- menical movement among people of all religious faiths for closer under- standing and closer co-operation in the aims which brought the United Nations into being and which repre- sent its still-unfulfilled ideals.

It may be a coincidence, as one commentator has pointed out, but this first visit of the Pontiff to the United Nations Assembly falls on October 4, the, day on which the death of St. Francis of Assisi—the undeclared patron of world peace and the poor— is commemorated. Francis and his - friars carried their message of péace through medieval Italy into France, Spain and North Africa, where they worked for the relief of the destitute gnd for the enfranchisement of ‘slaves. Later they journeyed to the Holy Land where Francis was receiv- éd kindly by the Sultan, who was so impressed by his sincerity that he gave him a letter granting freedom.of travel through Palestine. This event fesulted in the Franciscans being given charge of the Shrine of the Holy Land, a privilege they still hold. " Tt will not be surprising if Pbpe Paul, in his address to the Assembly today, mentions St. Francis as an ex-

ple of one whose life and ideals

tured the imagination of the world, . jnd whose memory is still Held in Giniversal regard. = In any case, there is reason to hope that this dramatic personal ap- peal by the head of the Roman Catho- lic Church throughout the world will 4ind a response in the hearts, not” only of his own people, but of many millions of others who share his burn-~ ing desire for peace and goodwill among the nations. Certainly it cannot fail to point up the gravity of the danger of the proliferation of nuclear arms, the moral issue that is involved here and the suicidal consequences of its continuance. :

As indicated in our news columns,

. leaders of other major religious bod- ies and the United States government | have warmly welcomed the Pope’s coming and joined in mutual hopés for its objectives. We as Canadians will wholeheartedly subscribe to these sentiments, and to the| prayers which were voiced in many of our churches yesterday that the mission will make its impact on the. conscience of mankind.

On The Rampage:

We may be thankful to have escap- ed the crop failures that have been threatening, not only the western wheat provinces, but other parts of Canada as well. But on the whole, these misfortunes ‘have been light compared with the natural dis- asters that have been recorded in many parts of the United States. Ac- cording to a release from the White

‘House, the period from July 1, 1964 to June 30, 1965, spawned the worst rash of such outbreaks on record. The record of death, injury, property dam- age and community ‘disruption is

spelled, out in President Johnson’s

cal 1965.

-Relief aid-went to 24 states during the.1965 period for such natural dis-. asters as floods. broken reservoirs, hurricanes,~tornados: and~an earth~-; quake. The federal office of emergen- cy planning, doled out $85.9 million to” the affected states, nearly twice the $44.6 million total of the previous The natfon’s most devastating dis- aster hit the Pacific northwest in late 1964 and early 1965 in the form of severe storms and floods. Relief funds

for California and Oregon, Washing-

ton, Idaho and Nevada totalled $39.3

million. California alone got $29 mil- lion.

So far’in fiscal 1966, which began July 1, nature hasn't been kinder. The .northwestern states, wrung dry by drought, have been declared dis- So’ have Florida and Louisiana, victims of hurricane Betsy. More than $44 million already have been allocated in this fiscal year, still young.

Unsolicited Advice

The story goes that a firm of ad- vertising and public relations con-

| gultants, failing in ‘its efforts to be

named earlier this year as representa- tives of the Liberal party, hit upon the idea of preparing handbooks for candidates of all parties and making them available at $10 a copy. The Cortsérvative handbook is said to be considerably thicker than that devot- ed to the Liberals, but they all ap-

| pear to be larded with pithy tips on

how to keep in with the electors.

Here, according to a newspaper report, is the gist of what the pub- lishers have to say to Liberal candi- dates on the delicate question of kiss- ing infants:

“The prime minister, who feels uncomfortable in sentimental situa- tions of this sort, feels that baby kiss- ing should, if at all possible, be play- ed down in this campaign, especially in the light of the proposed health plan. Any baby kissing that the can- didate feels he must do should be carried out under the utmost stand- ards of sanitation.

“Miss LaMarsh advises candidates wishing to kiss babies to carry a lemon by way of antiseptic. The lemon is to be applied to the infant’s cheek im- mediately after the kiss has been be- Infant kissing, in any case, should be discouraged because many infants tend to cry when handled by strangers and a picture of a Liberal’

candidate holding a weeping baby.

printed in a hostile paper could mean

a-thousand extra votes for the NDP,”

‘It is atided that “a leaf could, per- haps, be taken from the book of Mr. Diefenbaker who displays his love of ‘children by- simply waving at those over the age of five.”

-Car Insurance Rates

Car insurance rates may go up another 5 to 10 per cent in 1966, ac- cording to an article in the Financial

Post which cites predictions of insur-

ance officials ba: on the latest an- nual Green BéOk, a record’ premiums and élaim payments for insurance across Canada- except Sas- katchewan, where a compulsory, gov- ernment-operated plan is in operation. Increases will, of course, vary by locality and will also depend on the

“type of coverage; but the above

figures represent the anticipated aver- age increase, applicable in some de- gree in all provinces.

Insurers give three reasons for the steady climb in claim costs: bigger repair bills on more expensive cars; wage and salary increases, and higher hospital and medical bills. Claim frequency is going up, too. In 1964 there were 10.3 claims per 100 in- sured cars. This was up from 10,2 in the previous year and 9.0 in 1960.

Green Book figures show the cost of claims foreach insured car is going up by about 7 per cent per year. Aver- age payout per claim in 1964 was $487, up from $361 in 1961.

The 1966 general increase, it is said, will-be applicable to all drivers —even if no claim has been paid un- der their policy. Those with claims

‘| -in the past year will pay-more than

the general increase because they will also lose their no-claim rating.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The largest Scout camp ever to be held in Sweden was inaugurated recently‘at Stegeborg by 19-year-old Crown Prince Carl Gustav. Some 9,000 boys and girls, including. 1,100 from 25 foreign countries; came to the jamboree, some,from as.far away as Japan, Kuwait, Canada, Tanzania and Liberal. Among prominent guests on opening day were Lady Baden- Powell, widow of the founder of the Scout movement, and Signe Dreijer, director of the International Bureau of the World Scout Association.
