Duplessis Reurnecl r

In a Canadian Press report of a campaign speech by Premier Du- plessis the other day, he was quoted as asking the voters to "put aside partisan politics and vote for his party.” The phrase is characteristic of the man, and of the psychology of his appeal which has carried the National Union party successfully into office for the fourth time In Quebec. Mr. Duplessis has sold him- self as the champion of Quebec in- terests and not even the powerful Federal Liberal machine could dis- lodge him in yesterday's contest. His supporting press claims that in education, in health, in highway building and in welfare the Province has marched steadily forward under his leadership. Most important po- litically, he has built up the Na- tional Union as a coherent, discip- lined body, speaking with a single voice. This achievement served him well in the strenuous six weeks' campaign in which he has emerged 1 Victor once more. At the time of writing the Sask- atchewan election results were not in, but the indications favoured re- turn of the Douglas Government, which had 41 seats in the last house compared with 10 Liberals, one Conservative and one vacant seat. The Conservative seat was gained from the OCF in a by-election in 1952. and it will be of at least academic interest to learn how it went this time.

Sad Example

It is amazing to what extent some people will go in their at- tempts to frustrate an act of simple justice. Take, for example, Rep- resentative Carl Vinson, Democrat of Georgia. His opposition to the Supreme Court's ruling outlawing segregation in the public schools has led him to a step which, if it were supported by a sufficient num- ber of American law makers, would virtually result in doing away with the Supreme Court altogether. He has introduced a bill which would prohibit the court from "reviewing any decision that has been in effect for fifty years or more without specific permission from Congress". The proposed legislation would be made retroactive to January 1954, thus invalidating the anti-segrega- tion ruling which was handed down on May 17 of that year. That ruling set aside another that had been made in 1898 and which ordered "separate but equal" facilities for Negroes.

It seems certain that Mr. Vin- son's bill will end up in the waste- basket. It is incredible that the Congress as a whole will even allow it to be debated. But the fact that such a possibility could be so much as mentioned in an important legis- lative institution of the democratic world is something vcryisad for law respecting men everywhere to pon-

"tier.

Unknown Dangers

Everyone wonders what. effect. if any, radioactivity resulting from atomic and hydrogen bomb tests is having on human and plant life. So far, there is not much factual in- formation on which to base an opinion; for the scientists them- selves seem to be divided on tho question. There is no doubt at all, however. about the danger of rad- iation from atomic power plants.

;. once these get into general oper- phon-

say ten or twenty years from NV. That. at least, is the verdict ounced by the National Ac- , yof Sciences in a recent rc- . - How great the danger will be. full! how to meet it. are questions which are yet unanswered.

While stressing the need for vig- orous research Into all angles of the

. potential dangers, the report says

tlsts have been able to propose is the setting up of an international body to study the entire subject. It will be years, they say, before en- ough is known about it to make any system of disposal effective; and by that time atomic plants will have been established-unless, indeed, a bait is called to the whole program of development, a decision which may become necessary in the in- terest of safety.

One item of particular interest in the report is that already "in- significant though d e t e c t a b 1 0" traces of a powerful radioactive substance has been found in milk supplies ”thousands of miles from the site of atomic explosions". As yet it is not serious enough to' cause any alarm. Nevertheless, it is an in- dication of what to expect in the future unless proper safeguards are found s o o n. Another disclosure worth mentioning is that there is no "proof" that atomic explosions have any marked effect on weather con- ditions. It is to be noted that the report does not say that this com- monly held supposition is entirely without merit, but only that there is no proof of it.

The truth is that scientists are almost as ignorant as the rest of us regarding the poicntial dangers of this new force which they have brought into use.

Anli-income Tax Drive-

The French Poujadists are not the only political forces warring against taxes. In the United States an equally strong though les s dramatic campaign is being waged against the 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution, the leg- islation that gave national applica- tion to the income tax which, in one form or another, had been levied since 1861. In England. incidentally, the tax dates from 1798. Reports say that powerful influences are at work in the anti-Income Tax field, and further, that some Congression- all candidates are expected to make it an issue in the November elec- tions. Their cause has been pub- licized considerably by a new and unexpected ally, Mr. T. Coleman Andrews, a former Commissioner of Internal Revenue. ,

Mr. Andrews is making some serious charges against the Income Tax law. Here are a few of them: It robs citizens of their constitutional guarantee of respect for property rights. It is a robber of children in that it deprives them of the oppor- tunity to become independent in their own right. It is an instrument of vengeance and class hatred and follows the Marxist plan for de- stroying a free society. Summing up, Mr. Andrews says "the middle class is being taxed out of existence, and the nation thereby is being rob- bed of its surest guarantee of con- tinued sound economic develop- ment". -

It ought to be the easiest thing in the world for anti-Income Tax politicians to win friends and in- fluence people; for they are merely giving expression to a belief which every normal tax payer holds in his heart. He would be a strange per- son indeed who had any real liking for the income tax. The Biblical identification of tax collectors with "sinners" still holds good in the public view. Yet, money has to be raised somehow to meet public ex- penditures; and, if the income tax denouncers know of a better and less painful way than the object of their wrath, they should speak up and say what it is. Thus far, they sccm to have neglected that import- ant detail.

Ti-IINKING AWHLEADTT

The Suez Canal Zone Today

By Wilton Wynn Associated Press, Moascnr, Egypt

A small cafe in this Egyptian tnwn bears a name in Arabic let- tering which Egyptians read ”Zee Howl in zee Well."

That is as close as Arabic let- ters can get to "The Hole in the Wall," by which this little cafe was known to thousands of Brit-

ish service men for decades.

The rising tide of Egyptian nationalism which forced the British Army out of the Suez canal also forced owners of "The Hole in the Wall" to write the cafe's name in Arabic. not Eng- lish. lettering. The new sign is symbolic of the revolution which has taken place in the Suez canal zone in the last 20 months.

Two years ago there were 70,- 000 British troops in this zone. Now there isn't a single British soldier left. This -massive British base, once headqusrlera and cor- nerstone of Western defence for the Middle East, furnished direct employment for 50,000 Egyptian workers. Thousands more made a living indirectly by operating businesses and providing,serviccs for the British Army.

Replacing the 70,000 British troops are 800 British civilians-to keep the base in working order in case the army has to return within the next five years. De- tencc of the area has been taken over by the Egyptian Army.

Combined operations of the Egyptian Army and British civil- ians are small compared to the old days when Britian was here in force. British evacuation has left vast areas looking like ghost towns.

THEATRES BOARDED l'P

Movie theatres once packed nightly by British Tommles hun- gry for entertainment now have their doors boarded up. Blank windows stare like empty eye sockets at desert sand. Here and there are former restaurants, photo shops, book stores, laun- dries, all deserted and slowly dis- integrating.

Unguarded buildings don't last long in poverty-stricken Egypt. One nearby peasant will take a window pane. Another will make off with a door. A third will lake 1 piece of roof. At the present rate. all traces of the British Army presence soon will disap- pear from vssl stretches of the canal zone. The desert will return to reclaim the area it held before the British arrived.

To reach the canal zone. you leave the fertile Nile delta a few miles north of Cairo and follow a ribbon of green along the Sweet Water canal which connects the Nile with the Suez canal. This canal provides drinking water for the canal zone.

About half way to the canal in Tel el Kebir. famous in Egypt as the spot where the British Army decisively defeated the Egyptians in 1882 to begin military control of the area. During the British occupation Tel el Kebir become I huge storage centre.

Now sband warehouses stretch for acres.

N0 TOMMIES LEFT

No British soldiers Ire left in Tel cl Keblr. in their place are some am British civilians and nearly 5,000 Egyptian employees. This group is employed by one of seven British companies now maintaining the hue under the Asiglo - Egyptian agreement of 1 .

On one side of the Tel el Kcbir area is s hugh motor pork with 2.000 army trucks. A civilian company repairs and services these vehicles snd maintains ylsctlcslly all stocks required for war office needs in nenx-by war!-

The Age Old Story

when the Most High divided to nllop their Inheritance, when unrated

The Tel el Kehlr operation not only maintains these stocks for possible return of British troops; it also supplies British Army needs all over the Middle East. British forces in Cyprus, for ex- zifple, depend on the Tel el Keblr base for some of their supplies.

Within this c o m p o u n d sur- rounded by desert sands is a lit- tle British community numuering nearly 500 persons, including wives and children. in many ways. ,this isolated group is self- sufflcienl, with two social clubs. an Anglican and Catholic church, swimming pool, movies twice weekly, and a primary school.

"It's amazing what people will do for thier morale in a situation like this." said Donald Paton. deputy general manager. "There is some kind of social activity here every night in the week. Most of the families have a good time."

in addition to the civilian firm which services army equipment there are six companies doing other specific jobs in Tel el Kebir. Ammunition Limited, for exam- ple. maintains a vast munitions depot at Abu Sultan. One of its duties is to take defective ammu- nition to the desert to explode it.

RAF LANDING RIGHTS

Aviation Services Limited maintains landing facilities for Royal Air Force units at the air- fields of Abu Sueir and Fanara. These fields now are occupied by the Egyptian Air Force but under the agreement the RAF retains landing rights.

There are also Electricity Lim- lied, Engineers Limited (which will repair Centurion tanks), and M.-'nlenance Limited. There is also I seventh company called Services Limited. its work is to provide services for all the other companies working in the zone.

Working like a small govern- ment, Services Limilcd has estab- lished British-style primary and junior schools in illoascar. Tel cl Kebir and Kensinpzlon Village. A boarding school for secondary students is maintained in Mons- car. On the staff of Services Lim- lted are clergyman, representing the Church of England. Church of Scotland and Roman Catholic Church.

Services Limited also handles security, fire prevention, tel- ecommunications, freight move- ment, medical services and rec- reation. in cl u d i n g building of clubs, movie theatres. and swimming pools where needed. A jazz band is being formed.

COMPROMISE FORMULA

The agreement to turn over the Suez base to civilian contractors was a compromise between Egyp lions and British. This formula provided for maintenance of a British base without the political complications of keeping a British army on Egyptian soil. Most of the civilians believe the formula is working so well that it may be adopted in other trmlxlesome spots around the world. They say it Is proving less expensive and mort efficient than maintaining a pence-time base with a huge armed force.

Most of All. the civilians find for greater co-operation from Egyptians than the army re- ceived. The handover of the canal base has been a happy chapter in otherwise unpleasant Aulo-Egyp- flan relations in the last year.

The Egy tun Army already has estnblis ed its eastern cem- msnd headquarters at Mosrcnr and Egyptian officsrs now occu- py the beautiful, tlls-roofed villas which once housed Dfllllh offi-

cots. Egyptian forces in an none are smaller than the British force which was here on years ago. The total mm Army's strength is est at 15.000. mcll ;Il'I'lI'ol;'m"ea1.I,0bICf'VOl'l' say ee- it I ling?! I eastern sum. due to lung border. That lolvujlot more than

DON”! LET HEAVY I038 CAUSE INJURY To BACK

Those simple summertime chor- es around the house can be down- right danger if you don: go about them properly.

Cutting the grass, for example, appears to be an elementary task. 1! 1!. too, but you might wind up with an aching back if you use the wrong procedure. DELICATE PARTS

Your arms and legs. you realize, are pretty muscular and relative- ly s'. ,. Your back. however, has numerous delicate parts. it can be easily injured if you let it and not your arms and legs do all the heavy worlr.

The sacroiliac joints which join the sacrum to the hipbone do not move freely as do your elbows or knees. Violent twisting or any- thing else, which forces them out of position may bring on excru- clatlng sacroiliac pain.

SIMPLE RULES

50. when pushing the lawn mower. dont just dig in and push I think you'll find you'll take as much strain as possible off your back if you'll follow these (our simple rules:

1. Keep your back as straight as possible, don't hunch over.

2. Lean forward from youriankies, not from your hips.

3. Brace your feet to get the max- imum powar from your legs.

4. Push against the ground. Carry- l'3 heavy loads such as bags of Lment and the like can be dan- gerous, too.

HEAVT OBJECTS

The be.t method of lifting a heavy object from the ground is to squat and lake the opposite ends of the bag in your arms. Next straighten your back and then draw the bag straight up by stralghteni 3 your legs.

While carrying it, rest the load against your hip and stomach.

As for lifting an object that is already on a platform such as the rear end of a truck or the trunk of a car, squat and draw it onto your shoulder. Grab the front end wi i both hands.

Then rise by straightening your legs. Lean forward and brace the load by placing your hand on your

p.

This should make carrying a lot easier-and safer.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

P.G.: if a woman has been op- erated on and sterilized, is it poss- ible for her to have another oper- ation so that she can have another baby?

Answer: in most cases 1n oper- ation to restore the fallopian tubes cannot be carried out. However, in some few instances such restorat- ion of the tubes is sometimes pos- slble.

You might consult with the phv. slcisn who performed the operat. on.
