The Causeway Picture _ + Recent more hopeful references to our Causeway prospects by Feder- al Government spokesmen have con- tinued to underline the difficulties still being encountered in studies. We have heard so

ficially—through the current issue of Heavy Construction News, a Toronto

model specialist for the hydraulics section Council, to forward proposals for undertaking a pew model study. Mr. Jarlan is presently in Europe con- consulting with specialists in the field to determine if there is any pre- vious work or new studies which can be adapted to this particular problem. The model study that Mr. Jarlan ly carried out was simply a flume study on a short x-section of the causeway fill as it would be in 80 feet of water. It did not study the ef- fect of tidal variations caused by damming the strait—this was carried out on a mathematical computor model. Were a major model study carried out of the entire strait to de- termine the effect of massive ice movement, then it might also be pos- sible to check the tidal variation studies. At present, there is no hydraulic tray or lab large enough to handle a normal-scale model of the strait.

considers it possible this major model study will be undertaken—but a def- inite decision to do so will have to be made on the basis of Mr. Jarlan’s s and proposals on how to at- problem. One idea that has been considered includes us- affin blocks to simulate ice

possibly be utilized. And, quite def- initely, present thinking is to in- clude provision for rail traffic. For if this were excluded, ferries would have to be continued for heavy freight,

losses as at present with ferries, and would greatly reduce the savings ex- pected from a crossing.

That's the picture, as summariz- ed the trade publication article above mentioned. We trust now that the Minister will be asked to confirm it in Parliament, and supply what further information may be needed from time to time to keep us abreast of what is going on.

U.S. Farm Program .

Dairy products are among the items over which tighter control is being sought in President Kennedy’s omnibus farm bill. He has recom- mended that Congress continue cur- rent milk price supports of $3.40 per 100 pounds until Dec. 31, 1962; otherwise, he would reduce supports to $3.07 when the next .marketing year starts on April 1. For a perma- nent program, the President would

Canadian Press Staff Writer

Ever since Jamaica.said fare- well to the proposed West In- dies federation after a referen- dum last year Britain has been pondering the conundrum of a long-term Caribbean policy.

Basically Britain is anxious fo reduce her overseas nari= cial commitments and rip off the last labels of imperialism.

The federation would have been the ideal solution for the West Indies. As the new nation gained economic maturity the steady stream of grants and loans from Britain's purse would have-dried up.

In addition the federation

would have been one of the .

mounting that this

makes itself felt in various or- gans of the body. It may destroy blood cells, for example, and produce anemia or a bleeding disorder. The joints may be af-

fected, leading to arthritis; or |

the bowel, causing ulcerative eollitis.

One of the strange reactions ~occurs in dermatomyositis, a

rare skin and muscle disorder. |

Some of t patients have an internal can and tests .show they have developed antibodies against the malignancy. The body becomes sensitized to the cancer antibodies and this in turn is responsible for the rash, fever, and aching of dermato- myositis. Cures have been re- ported following removal of the cancer.

Scientists are working on drugs to counteract the natural immune processes that produce antibodies. Time will tell wheth- er these products will prove cur- ative in auto-immune diseases.

(Dr. Van Dellen will answer questions on-medical topics if stamped, self-addressed envel- ope accompanies request.)

MASSAGE AND = CIRCULATION J. B. writes: Will massaging the legs of a 66 year old man help the circulation? t. REPLY Light massage might help but there are better ways to im- prove circulation. Walking helps some persons whereas others need medicine to dilate the blood vessels. Applying heat to the lower abdomen also is use-

ful, especially when circulation |

to the feet is poor. The warmed blood goes to the extremities, where it dilates the vessels. The direct application of heat is not advisable when the vessels are hardened. “- HOARSENESS

Mrs. J. F. writes: I get laryn- gitis three or four times a year. Does this indicate there _is something wrong with the throat, such as tonsilitis?

REPLY

This is-one possibility. Others include a new cold, infections elsewhere, and misuse of the voice.
