Agricultural Research

The Canadian Federation of Agriculture's board of directors, meeting recently at Port Arthur, ex- pressed uneasiness lest. in the ef- fort to train young men as indus- trial scientists and technologists, the needs of farming should be over- looked. Following a study by the CFA policy committee, the board made several recommendations with the aim of keeping agricultural" pro- gress in .step with that of the rest of the economy.

The CFA calls for expanded and improved agricultural research and extension programs, particularly at the universities and agricultural col- leges. It would like to see young farm people receive at least two years of vocational training in their own business, besides whatever ad- ditional secondary and university training they may wish to take. More undergraduate scholarships are suggested.

The Federation considers that both federal and provincial govem- ments have responsibilities for fin- -ancing additional research in agri- culture-ovf an economic and social nature aswell as scientific. At the same time, it sees a need for I non- government Agricultural Research Foundation for devoting money to research in what the CFA board re- gards as the greatly neglected fields of economic and social studies. A special committee is being set up to go into this question.

"As I. farm organization of na-

tional scope," comments the Ot- tawa Citizen, "the views of the CFA are usually listened to with respect. Not to be taken lightly is its user- tion that there is a dangerously small number of new ngriculturists being graduated from our colleges nnd steps need to be taken to at- tempt to correct this situation. The Federation's comments are timely, because in the midst of I great in- dustrial boom there is some danger that agriculture may be lost sight of. Farming in still the industry on which the Canadian economy large- ly rests and, as such, it too must take every advantage of modern research and technology."

British & German Exports

According to an "article in the British Board of Trade Journal the greatest single ihreat to Britain's

. export trade is West Germany's al- most miraculous industrial recovery from the damage done to its eco- nomy in World War Two. In fact, the Journal reports, West Germany is taking the lead in practically every field of commerce, even in those fields where Britain was pre- dominant for many years, textiles and shipbuilding.

In the two year period from 1953 to 1955, the Germans increas- ed their export trade by 40Ct;. The value of German built ships sent abroad has increased so rapidly that at the present time it is more than double that of British ship ex- ports. In the automobile business German exports more than doubled in the two year period, while British exports increased. less than one-

' fifth. The situation is even worse- from the'Britlsh standpoint-in tex- tiles. Front 1951 to 1955 Germany's rate of exports doubled. In the same

'- period the British share of the world

; markets declined by one-seventh.

There',ht've been more labour

f troubles in Britain than in West

Germsny in the post-war period,

and this may have had something to do with" the German advance; but apparently not much, since fig- uresquotedbythehurnalseemto

West Germany appears to be well on the way to undoubted supremacy in European commerce.

Timely Warning "Never, Never Be A Dodo" is the title of a new children's safety- first booklet being issued across Canada by the Canadian Bank of Commerce, this booklet, which aims at impressing on children the "do's and don'ts" of safety in the home and out of doors. uses cartoon illus- trations featuring the dodo as n duliard who gets hurt because he has not enough sense to obey safety rules. Children are urged to "Never, never be a dodo" by obeying the rules, and the cartoons help to show clearly how they can avoid acci- dents while riding bicycles, crossing streets, playing at games and sports and in many other day-to-day sit- uations.

The main causes of death from - accidents for all children from birth - to age 14 are listed as ranking in the following order: (1) Motor vehicles. (2) drownings. (3) fire and explosions. (4) poisonings. (5) Falls. Inside the home, fails, cuts and burns, in that order, constitute the major hazards.

Sounding a special warning to parents, th e booklet emphasizes that children are great imitators, so that their safety habits will often be directly related to those of their parents. During the early years, no other form of protection can com- pare with home protection and training.

Copies of the booklet are avail- able to the public on request at any branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce.

Cancer's Newest Weapon

The steady advance in scientific research has been so often demon- strated in the past few years that we have ceased to wonder about it and have possibly lost our apprecia- tion of its meaning to mankind. Cancer, that insidious disease which within our memory was a sentence of death to its unfortunate victim, is now largely controllable thanks to the untiring efforts of scientists.

The latest weapon in the fight against cancer is a minute instru- ment that has been given the name of ”electrogastrograph," an electri- cal device that records the fre- quency of electrical impulses in the muscles of the stomach. By this de- vice, Dr. Harry S. Morton, of the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal, its discoverer, has been able to get cancer tracings a year before any symptoms have occurred.

The importance of this can be appreciated when we realize that cancer of the stomach does not an- nounce its presence by any definite symptoms until the growth has pro- ceeded too far to be cured. For'this reason it is the most fatal type of cancer, accounting for more than 3,000 deaths yearly in Canada.

The ”electrogastrograph," con- sists of a tiny electrode on the end of a wine inside a long, thin tube. The tube is passed through the pa- tient's nose down into the stomach and connected with a pen-writing recorder to I graph. The emotions recorded by the instrument are easily read by an expert. Dr. Mor- ton's work is being supported by the Canadian Cancer Society.

EDITORIAL NOTES

It used to be hard enough to get anyone of great political stature to run for the Vice-Presidency of the United States; for ordinarily it is I thankless post with relatively little prestige attached to it. This year, owing to President Eisenhow's ill- nesses and the likelihood of his hav- ing to retire while in office, assum- ing he is re-elected, almost every politician wants it-just in case.

Defense Minister Campney hasn't added to his stature by the ostrich- liko view he is reported to have taken of the Suez Canal crisis. "This," he is quoted I: saying, "is primarily I European matter.

Was The Press Biased? -

Ottawa Journal

It has been known for some time that I government tactic in the coming election will be to tell the country that in the pipeline- closure debate the Liberals were the victims of I "biased" press; that newspapers across the coun- try were false to truth and re- sponsibility when they reported that the Government debnsed Par- liament by trampling on its rules.

Among the newspapers which reported that the Government trampled on rules and debased Parliament were the Vancouver Sun, the Winnipeg Free Press and the Toronto Star, Ill staunchly Liberal, and among those which condemned the Prime Minister for his handling of the Speaker's res- ignation was the Montreal Star. staunchly Liberal. Actually there was hardly a single newspaper In Canada, Liberal, Conservative or Indepsndent, which did not stig- mntize the Government's conduct on the basis of the facts.

NOT OUT OF THE All!

These newspapers didn't pick facts out of the air; they got them from independent, impartial news agencies like the Canadian Press and British United Press, from their own experienced Press Gal- lery correspondents, and from the official reports of Hnnsard. They got them also from the factual re- ports and comments of disting- uished Llberal observers like Mr. Grant Dexter and Mr. Blair Fra- S('I'.

Alas, that wasn't good enough for the Government and its sup- porters: the newspapers hnd no right to report that this Govern- ment wns or could be wrong- ihey should have known better.

They should have realized that Mr. Harris and Mr. Hows couldn't possibly be in error; their plain job was to fall in behind the Gov- ernment's bnck benchers, chnnt hosannns for Mr. Howe and Mr. Harris and report that Drew and Knowles and Fulton and the others must be mad to question the wisdom, the virtue, the om- nlsci z and omnipotence of the Government.

EVEN TIIE CBC

And to think, say these Liberal gentlemen, to think that even the CBC-nnd it owned by the Gov- ernment-should have turned us- ninst them! Mr. Russell Reinke. Liberal for Hamilton South, spoke the won Ind chagrin of them Ill. when he said thst"mIny might think "I state-owned news service would be rnther partial to the Government." Yet it hadn't been; had dared to join tbe newspapers in suggesting that the Govern- mpnt had been wrong-whnt I pass we had come to!

Thus are little dictntors born: thus spawns the mood which not only thinks that I state-owned ser- vice might be "rather partial" to the Government. makes it. part of the law. just as Mr. Hitler nnd Mr. Mussolini did and as Mr. Khrushchev does now Ind Mr. Franco snd all the bin nnd little dictators wherever they may be.

Thus what happens, too, in the cnse of any government anywhere which holds office too long; it becomes the victim of arrogance and towering concelts. demands obelsnnce regardless of truth, thinks criticism monstrous subver-

sion.

Tire Seekers In India

National Geographic Society

Two kinds of fire seeker-s'are meeting today in the Knngra Val- ley of India's western Himalayan foothills.

Less than ten miles from the old ilindu shrine Jawalamukhl- where the Goddess Vajresvnrl re- veals herself to followers as I small violet name issuing from the earth--government drilling crews will probe for oil to supply more fuel, light and power to modern India.

The Jawalnmukhi temple stands near the town of Kangrn, I farm center and holiday resort of the northern Punjab country. says the National Geographic Society. The lighted gas that seeps from a pit inside the temple is believed to represent the deity'I mouth.

MAGNIFICENT SETTING

Few shrines anywhere on earth have a more beautiful natural setting than that of .lawnlnmukhi'I fire worshippers in the vale of Knngrn.

Built ngnlnst I bold cliff face, the temple looks down on fields of rice, corn and wheat spread out in hnimonious Orientnl-rug psitsrns. He and there are scat- tered flowering orchards of apples and pears, and broad green pat- ches of ten plantations. In the background, blue and purple hills ri. snow-capped Himnisynn peaks.

The present shrine to the horn goddess is I modern restoration of I glitdomed nnd ' ' C structurn that stood at this sit for unknown centuries. A Sunn- krlf inscription it contnined was estimated to date Mill about ID.

The earlier temple was partial- ly destroyed in in! by In earth- qusko that also watched much of Knngrn town and its ancient fort. More than moo people, including

From time tmmemorlsl various forms of Hinduism--nature wor- shm E L . .. .... Jainism-have been associated with the Kan rn Vllley. Even when the Mos em conquerers of northern India controlled the hill territories of the Kntoch rnjss. the people continued to make sacri- fices and offerings to the old gods and goddesses.

The Jawainmukhi temple was famous for.its wealth in gold and silver, jewels and money. Now Ind than the treasures were confiscat- ed by local Hindu princes or plun- dared by successive wnvos of in- vnders. At one time Moslsm over- lords collected I head ins on all pilgrims.

There's only one. way to. avoid this danger--recognize Ind nvold the poisonous types. If you can't recognize the Morel and the Amnnitas. don't pick any of then, And above all, don't eat nny,un- fnmillar types of mushrooms. es- pecially if they have been gath- ered by, an amateur.

The safest thing to do in: such I c e is to throw them away. If you shore this advice and devel- op slgns of illness after eating mushrooms, call I doctor right away. ,

While there are numerous dif- ferent types of mushroom poison- ,lng, the worst begins with n series of gastrointestinal symptoms in from 10 to 15 hours nfter eating phalloldes. a type of Amanlfn.
