IATUBDAY. APRIL II. 1953

New Indian Crisis According to reports from New Delhi,

Prime Minister Nehru is facing a new political crisis, which has nothing to dot

with such ideological subjects as democracy. communism, or his own particular brand

without policy-making authority. no res- olutions were presented. There was, how- ever. free exchange of views, which is al- ways helpful. As usually happens when questions of race are brought up. the mat- ter of cultural mixture was introduced and confused with that of legal integration. This is, of course. a most difficult problem; since full integration of Negroes with whites in schools and, later on. in colleges, does make intermarriage, theoretically, more probable than it is under the segrega- tion system. But, as several speakers pointed out, this fear is largely an academic one. Statistics show that in countries

termarriage of whites and Negroes is very lrareeso rare, in fact, that it has little noticeable effect on society as a whole. One speaker reminded the meeting that most present day anthropologists say there is no such thing as a "pure" race; and some

of neutralism. Strange as it may seem to

be slaughtered at any time, even when peo- pie in communities where they run wild are facing starvation.

To orthodox Hindus the cow is a sacred animal; and, until quite recently. thought of killing one never occurred to anybody professing that religion. Conse- quently, there are millions of cows roam- ing the countryside and villages. existing on charity, half-starved, filling no role ex- cept that of religious veneration. Mr. Nehru. although he is a religious man, feels that this is economically unwise and morally wrong. He has not gone so far as to recommend outright removal of the ancient ban: he has merely taken steps to permit slaughter on a small, well-regulated scale, on the ground that it is better to put old and useless animals out of their misery than to allow them to starve or die from disease in the streets. But this was enough to inflame his political opponents and even some of his own party, who have brought a non-slaughter bill before Parliament. Re- ports say that Mr. Nehru has won the first round in the battle and is resolved to stand his ground. But it is certain that when election time comes round the cow will occupy a prominent place among the issues. Already religious parades are being held all over the country; the placards read, "Down with Nehru, the cow-killer!"

It all goes to show that, while in some respects the one-world concept may be feasible, in others it must be admitted that "East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet."

Fooling The Radar Eye

A new, secret coating for aircraft, an-,

nounced last week, is said to make them invisible to the radar eye. the 'coating are to remain secret, but it was declared that the United States has already bought the patented process, through a Canadian firm representing its Swiss discoverers, and that it is to be made available to the Canadian and Brit- ish governments soon.

The new coating, whatever its com- position. comments the Montreal Gazette, is obviously of tremendous value. De- veloped to 100 per cent efficiency by an enemy, it. would make obsolete all the West's early warning systems, including the tines radar networks being operated or planned for the defence of North Anicriva. All world armaments system.-'. both defensive and offensive, have been goal-rid to radar development since early in the Second World War.

Radar has never been fool-proof. Al- iiod bomber "crews confused German radar by dropping strips of tin-foil which look- ed like aircraft on the German screens. Fast. low-flying airplanes are able to fly ”undcr" rarlar umbrellas. Canada's Nai- ional Research Council has already devel- oped methods of blanking-out radar waves. but none which could he used on aircraft.

The new coating, as long as it reniains a Western secret. adds enormously to Wcstcrii air power. Unfortunately. sucli things do not remain secret for long. es- pecially in a shooting war when specimens fall into enemy hands. So Western re- Sf'Ell'('ilf'l"S are already preparing for the logical next step-the development of a method of counteracting the new coating. as soon as samples of it are available for study.

Problems For Church Schools

Although the United States Supreme Courtis anti-segregation ruling applies only to public schools, administrators of Church schools are not by any means excluded from the controversy which is currently being waged over its implications. They have to consider, on the one hand, the ob-

recognized social practice of long stand- ing; and it is not an easy one.

Boon To Lawn Owners

Now is the time of year when a man's fancy begins to turn to thoughts of lawns. although it will be a little while before the new grass appears in strength. The pop- ular belief is that lawns cannot receive too much care and attention: the more they are mowed. rolled, clipped, raked, and wat- ered, the healthier they are and the more attractive they appear to the eye of the critic. In many communities a man is knovim as much by the condition of his lawn as by the company he keeps.

Now comes a learned professor, a turf specialist, to say that most of this preoccupation is a waste of time and energy. Lawn owners have allowed them- selves to be duped by counsel of the ignor- ant. In short, a too well kept lawn is a nuisance.

weeks of dry weather-should the hose be brought into use: even then it should be used very sparingly. Too much water is as bad as too little; it takes up room in- tended for air and may even drown the roots; daily watering helps only the weeds, which are well able toflook after them- selves under any conditions. Raking is futile and dangerous. Clippings should be left where they fall from the mower; grass should never be cut closer than one and .a half inches. Rolling serves no purpose at all. except to damage the land.

So says the professor; and he ends up by counselling against trying to improve ;on the ways of nature which knows noth- ing and cares nothing about straight lines, neatly laid out patches of land, or any- thing else suggesting uniformity in any way, shape or form.

This cheerful bit of news will be a boon to procrastinating lawn trimmers. It may be disputed by other turf experts, but why 20 further and fare worse? Why look a gift horse in the mouth? The professor has pro- vided a convincing alibi for congenital ham- mock-lollers, who can now watch their neighbors at work behind their lawn mow- era with a clear conscience. Men have been awarded knighthoods for less.

OTTAWA REPORT

By Patrick

Ottawa: "Are you expecting an air raid?" the doctor asked me. pointing towards my basement w in d o w a barricaded with wool troughs filled with sand.

It certainly was very reminiscent of the precautions taken by many Britons. against blast and flying glass during the war.

But my friend the doctor lives with his wife and child in a third floor apartment. and from that safe eyrie he would have no cause to ponder about Old Man Rideau.

There we were. enjoying Easter Sunday in the garden. four grown ups sunbathing in the almost Jurie- like sun while the children ran happily around in their first libera- tion from four Jnollihl snow. It was so hot that the temperature in the shade. if the maple trees had yet offered any, would have been 65 degrees. Yet on one side of the garden, sheltered by a thick cedar hedge. lay a three foot bank of snow still unmelted from the 100 inch fall we have had this win- ter. And on the other side were those barricaded windows. as waterproofed only four days prev- iously when the nearby river was within six inches of overflowing and was rising at the rate of an alarming three inches an hour.'

Anything can happen in Otlawals climate. and as if to prove that it does happen. this remarkable change had carried us from winter chill to summer tan in four days.

Old Man Rideau has I life contrasts. For 51 weeks of the year, he in placidly beautiful and indeed useful. For the 52nd week each year, he is the terror of the southern and eastern residential areas of our Capital. His journey is short, from the heart of the de- lightful Rideau Lake resort area 40 miles to the south west of Ot- tawa. to the falls in the heart of the Capital where he cascades into the mighty Ottawa River. In summer. he is little more than a trickle. Children swim and their fathers fish. Even the staff of the Russian Embassy. just across the river from my house. sometimes row out into mid-trickle in a boat and fish there. In winter. those some children play ice-hockey ,on the Rider-iu's safe thick sheath. while their fathers. or some them. still pursue the dying trade of sawing out 24 inch blocks of ice and storing them in the huge sawdust-filled ice-houses until re- quired for cooling purposes in the grilling summer.

The Rideau also has another use, to the shame of our Capital. Tell it not in the streets of Prince Al- bert, publish it not in Chatham; but the llideau is polluted. it could be the Pride of Ottawa that John Diefenbaker had in mind when he told Parliament recently that we have to our shame per- mitted some of our most beauti- ful rivers to become nothing more than open sewers coursing through our towns. Certainly the Rldeau carries its quota of raw sewage through Canada's show city, and it achieved a notoriety not even equalled by the North Saskatche- wan River when the French Am- bassador complained that he was forced by the stench to evacuate his Embassy.

This year was expected to in the year of Old Man Rideaufs most damaging rampage. The unusually heavy winter snowfall. the lack of the usual January thaw, the increasing deforestation of the hills on the'i1ideau watershed. and the outward sprawling growth of our Capital along the banks of the river. all appeared to combine to make for serious flooding in real- dential areas.

Early in March. Ottawals City Hall began making alarming pro- nouncements and' appealed to the army for assistance in case need. Meanwhile the City engineers started Adynamlting the ice and juggling wth the water level to carry off the blasted ice floes.

with the beginning of the thaw. the flow of water in the Rideau was expected to touch I peak of 10.50) cubic fut per second. In fact it soared put that to a peak of 19.0w. while the river level was at one time near the top and risin per out. That rate of flow. be- lieve it or in . in sufficient to ive everyone in Canada two nli- ed bulbs. to fill the radiator of every car and truck In Canada. and to give every Osnadian six glasses

roaring. churning and unattractive- looking brown torrent.

History relates that only two families had to be evacuated from their homes. They were rescued by boat and temporarily housed in the exhibition hall with their children; but the river fell back as quickly as it had risen, and the evacuees were home again inside the 48 hours needed to heat the unprepared exhibition hall.

The engineers beat the Rideau. But one is left wondering at the unfilled gap between emergency and relief work. especially in the spectacle of our Capital. stricken inactive as a rabbit hypnotised by I snake.

Days Of Adventure

The time was when the do- a great ceremonial oc canton. Crowds thronged the crest of sig- nal Hill, gathered at the Ba

There were often twenty ships and more than 4,000 men crowding their decks.

These days have gone. Some remnants of romance cling still to the venture for great tradi- tions die hard. But it has to be faced that the sealing voy- age is no longer what it was. The seals are probably not there to sup- port the kind of industry that seal- ing was in its heyday but it is the economy of the enterprise that has reduced it to its present site of five vessels and about 400 men.

Sealing was always a danger- ous as well as I romantic ven- ture. Its history has been darkened by many calamities. But it was something that was in the blood of thousands of hardy Newfound- lariders who accepted its economic as well as its physical risks. took without murmur the terrible dis- comfort: of confined quarters in overcrowded ships. and counted the

95 voyage well worth while if a bun-

dred dollars came their way for mu? or flvs weeks of perilous liv- g. lhat a business it was in the old days!

It con- verted some names into household words and it built up such fam- ily traditions as those of the Nor- mans, Kenna, Bartletts and Jack- mans. to mention but a few of the great sealing skippers. With us still are at least two of the most. successful captains. William Win- son and George Whiteley.

Arid it was a game at which the laudlubber could play with count- less sweepstakes and bets on the first-arrival and the great social events of which the first flippers were the maiiispi-lng.

Life in Newfoundland has been changing rapidly in the past twen- ty years under the influence and impulse of modern times. A tre- mendous social ns olutioii has at- tended it.

The Captain: Courageous who once manned countless bobbing dam: on the Grand Banks now go to sea in dramas: and trawlen. Of the men who manned the seg- dsy for every ten who rolled a quarter of a oeiibiry ago. But the demand for the berths remains. it the sealing fleet of today could

COMMON SKIN AILMENT CAN BECOME IPIDEMIC

Impetigo glass can spread rapidly. as among child- ren, and sometimerusumes opi- demic proportions.

While it is not a serious skin disease. it is so common that I am devoting two columns to its treat- ment. I told you yesterday about some of the general hygienic measures you should take if you or someone in your family in troubled with these unsightly scabs or blisters.

As for specific treatment. I would advise anyone bothered with impetigo contagiosiuto clean his face with water and tincture of green soap. Dry the face on IA paper towel. This will help keep the disease from spreading to an- other ember of the family who might accidentally use the pa- tleiit's regular towel.

There are penicillin or outco- mycin ointmerits or lotions your doctor might recommend. Gen- erally, a salve should be applied every hour during the daytime. Rub on the salve gently. It's prob- ably hest to use a soft-rubber cot to rub on the applicatiuu.

Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before and after you apply the salvo.

If the crusts are thick, I think your doctor will advise you to ro- move them by spoiiging the area with peroxide of hydrogen. Add water to dilute the peroxide of hydrogen to one-fourth its strength.

It's usually advisable to remove any loose crusts each day. Your doctor probably will give you an

Men should not use a shaving brush. Instead. use a bifusblou cream you can rub in with your fingers. or use an electric razor.
