These e,xccrpt.s trout Aiiiieiis” song must have come to the mind of the . Prime Minister of tiaiiada when he heard the unkind tliiugs which were said about him in the I-Zgnitiaii pm,-.

Was t'olouel Nasser grateful? 0 yes, indeed. For a few weeks nothing was too good for his representatives at the l'-.N. to say about Mr. St. Laurent and Mr. Pearson. They wcrc virtually idolized as the defenders oi the Arab world. But. alas. it is all mier now. Just because Mr. St. i.au- rent told the Fanadian Parliament in a casual sort of way that he "doubted" whether Nasser could order the UN. force from Egyptian territory with or without UN. ap- proval. he has been branded in the Egyptian press as ”the spokesman of resurgent anti-Egyptian belliger- oney" and as "one who obviously hungers after the old imperial blus- ter."

The sorry episode will not be without its bright aids. however, if our Federal leaders are led to ponder anew the truth of a simple social law--that. as with individuals, so with natilona, it seldom pays to de- sert one's friends merely to appease the malice of trouble-makers.

A Lislless Meeting

News of the. third annual meet-

ing of the (founcll gf Ministers of the South East Asia t')rganizatinn. now under way in Canberra. Aus- tralia. has hen given littlc publicity, probably because no one believes it Mil accomplish much. When SEAT!) was established it was hoped that it would capture the imagination and win the support of all those Asiatic countries which had not already come under Communist domination. l'nl'ortunately. it has not turned out that way. Actually. it is not much more than I Western. or pro-West ern. organization in an Asiatic aet- tlng. What strength it has comm from the l'nited Slates, ilrilain. France. Australia and New Zealand. The only three Asiatic members are Pakistan. the Philippines and Thai- land: and even these three do not ttvnrar to have much interest in it. l"dll- "10 bllzgest. non-Communist stats in the area covered by SEATO is actively opposed to it. although Prime Minister Nehru takes all the economic aid he can get from the West. and asks for more.

This latter fact is making the Pakistanis wonder whether their membership in the organization is of any value to their security. They point out that economic aid to India and other non-participating states is permitting them to devote a large partd thelrowa resoureas to build- ing up iniltary suvngth which. con- cllnllv. out has against

'nm-e so rumours that British and French Government officials are wondering whether the organization is the power it was intended to be and are not quite sure that it is north the expenditure of a gmat deal of money. Certainly. there is no evidence that. so far. it has done very much to curb Communist in- lrigue. (lonscquently. it is highly unlikely that this weeks meeting in ('anberra will produce anything of great importance to the stability of South East Asia.

Educational Aims

The teaching profession was well represented in the current debate in the Legislature by Mr. Prosper Ar- senault, Liberal member for the First District of Prince. liis address was a valuable contribution to the dis- mission on educational problems, and it is hoped will be read carefully by all concerned. ”Teaching." he re- minded the House. "is not a lost art lint the regard for it is a lost tradi- tion." Not the Government only. but

1 the public in general have a respon- l -ihility in this regard which cannot be ignored. None of us can escape ”the burden of the challenge which has now fallen upon those who pro- vide education ill a democracy. All education is aggressive. But that ag- gression lies in the realm of. the spirit and the mind. Education is uhere we face the crucial struggle of our time and that is why our schools deseiwe very special atten- lion."

l l

Mr. Arsenault was careful to dis- llltlztlisli between two different as- pects of the problem. "One deals with the 'how' of education (the pedago- gical problem of method). whereas the other is the underlying question of the aim of education. One deals uilh techniques while the other ap- plies techniques to achieve I partl- cnlnr aim of education. The aim miuht be good or had. but it is never neutral. There can be little argument that education today faces far grenter problems in .the realm of aims than that of techniques, even in the free world. it is 1-1 rcflcction of the overriding problem of a mod- ern society which has at its disposal an unprecedented wealth of material achievements. but is floundering in an equally unprecedented sea of con- tradlctiona regarding the aims and purpose of society."

These words deserve much more attention than they have sometimes received at the hands of educational reformers. There is nothing new in the truths that Mr. Arsenaull enunc- iated in such able manner. but. it is high time that they were re-stated in terms of our modern problems.

THE TEACHER PROBLEM

Sir. ivkiiiraiinn week as always has brought to the lure the prob- lems relative to education. this year the emphasis being on "The Causes and Remedies of Teacher shortage."

Whcrein is the cause for the shortage. of teachers. and as some of the, higwuzs seem In think. duali- fled teachers. They seem to sirsas the fact that the rural areas are where. the most of the unqualified teachers are engaged.

The chief reason for the scarcity of qualified lcachcrs lics vlilli the people themselves. They are not wililnl to pay ample supplements to entice the best teacher in their school. There will be more dis- cussion at the annual meeting to fix the supplement as low as they think it is reasonable to procure a teacher. so long as the school is not closed.

Then again. ill a great number of cases. the environment is not conducive In the hcsl work that could be done ill the schools. The teacher sometimes lms a dingv classroom in work in. together with lack of I-qinnnirul textbooks, maps. etc. which should in turn- llfwll hv Irhool ho:-irris,

Ekfccldiil Civil Pensions

By Patrick

Ottawa" llurm: the merit de- bate on civil service pensions. Fi- nance Minister Walter Harris sug- gested that the Canadian pension plan I! the most generous in the world It offers our NV” servants an advantage not availabe to their counterpmis in elllicr Grcal Bri- tain or the United States.

In this. Nlr. liarris was refer- ring to that fact that as little as five. years service qualify the wor- ker on pension at the ale at M

A civil servant may clcrt in re tire on pension at the age of 60. Many prefer to exercise their np- tion to unrk for a further five years. if a civil servant wants to continue to work after the age of as. the sanction of his deputy min- ister must be obtained. A civil scr- x ant may only continue in work af- ter the age at 7'0 if this is approved by the ultimate controller of the government's purse-strings. the Treasury Board.

Civil service pensions are based upon the average. wages of each worker during his ten best. years. I-'.:u'b worker drawa as pension two per cent of that average for nveiy year of employment. in gov- ernment aervlce. up In a maximum

of .15 years. if a person should be employed in the government ser- vice for more than Iii years. the years in excess of that figure do not count for pension.

THE TEN BEST YEARS

For a simple example. consid- er the unlikely case of an imagin- ary John Canuck. lie joins the Civil service at the age of 20. and draws a starting maze of 5200 a month. After thirty years of faith- ful service. he attains the level of 89.500 per year and remains there for five years Then he re- SlD.500 per year. which be con- linues to receive until five years later he. attains the age of 60.

J. Canuck has tbcn worked for the government for in years. con- tributing toward the pension fund. He has already exceeded the .19 you; which count for pension. On the other hand. continuing to work at his present or possibly at a higher salary would raise his pen- lloll allllhtly by inrr-casing thr av ersge. earnings of. his ten best years.

At present this an-r;ize is tin,

On the hams of .'l.'i tent. riloc tive service rnunltni lnuairls pen, slon. J. Csnurk can lhcn. in up an. retire on a Pension amounting

Nlrholsoa '

to 2 per cent tor each of 3:: years of that average of 310.000 This amounts to a pension of 87,000 per YPJIT

There are some unusually gener- uus nl'nVisl0Illl included in the elv- ll service superannuation plan.

One of these provides that a person entering government ser- HPP may transfer his or her at- cumulated rights under acme oth- er government or government- sponsored or recognized pension plan. This enables say a teacher or an industrialist to enter the civ- il servire without forfeiting pen- sion rights on previous service.

Thus a new entrant to the civil service may accumulate pension rights covering his previous years of other work. by paying into the pension fund a sum equ l to the total of e.mploycr'a co tribution plus employee's cnntributon ap- plicable to thoss years.

WIDOWS BENEFIT

A male contributes six per cent of his annual income to the pen- sion fund; A female only five per- rent. The difference is due t.o the tart that benefits accrue to the widow and young children of a male pensioner which are not 0- qually applicable to the widower and young children of a female pensioner,

The widow of a pensioner re- ceives half his pension for her- self: in addition she receive: one- tenth of bin pension for each child under ill years of age. up to a maximum of four children. Thus the widow of a pensioner with four young children could draw nine- lentils or the pension drawn by her husband before his death.

There are maximum and mini- mum limits on wages applicable inr pensions. A worker drawing S900 and over annually qualifies for a pension. But no annual earn- ings in excess of 8l.'a.000 are cov- cred by pension rights. although manv scnior.emPlt7Y993 of the gov- rrnmcnt. now dravl more than this. .-is the maximum pension is 70 per cent of the annual pay while actively employed. this restriction meana that the maximum pension

- at present would be 810.500.

A peI10l!,Who quits lltngovern mcni servics before retirement ago may nevertheless carry over lus pension rights acquired to date, and draw that proportion from his

l min birthday. subject to the rule

against drawing two incomes from ihl Crown.

Unfortunately. though. we are. Too many parents fall to have their children inoculated or for- llt to have them given periodic booster shots. PIOTICIIVE INJECTION! And even mothers who think their youngster: may have lied protective injections. frequently became worried when they begin to cough. so I think a review at the symp- toms of this extremely contagious disease in in order. - Whooping cough can occur at any time of the year and can at-

tack anybody. no matter what his .

age . Children under the age of five are most susceptible. However. the disease is most serious when it strikes a child of one year or youn- ger. ORDINARY COLD

Gsnrally. it develops within one

to two weeks after the vicum liaa j

been exposed to the disease. It be- gins like an ordinary cold and fre- quently is mistaken for nothing more serious.

The victim probably will devel- op a slight fever. a running nose and a cold that has a light cough. The cough will continue to deep- en until it develops the traditional whoop. The patient soba as he breathes in. This is followed by an

l

extended cough. sometimes lut-

ing for a minute or more.

Usually these ,'” , spasms are so severe that the face he- comes deep red or purple. the veins on the face and scalp swell and the eyes water CHILD WEAKENI-ID g

Repealed coughing Will quickly weaken a child. it may be several

months before his strength is fully '

regained.

The best advice i can Elvl any parent is to prevent whooping cough from attacking your child by haviiu him inoculated.

Your doctor can inject an alum- precipitated pertussis vaccine when your youngster is only two to three months old. For children over six months. there is a plain pertussl vaccine.

A diphtheria toxoid and pertus- si vaccine combination also is a- avilable for children over the all of six months and for booster shots. QUESTION AND ANSWER

S. H.: Is it pouibl to heal I rupture by injection treatment?

Answer: Most cases need aura- ery. However. in certain cases. the injection treatment is helpful. as- peclally when the person is old and unable to withstand surgery.
