Tracking llawn Polio lt is cheering to learn, on the authority of the American Journal of Hygiene, that three Johns Hopkins scientists have reported that they have successfully vaccinated monkeys against infantile paralysis. This brings a st-ep nearer the time when children can be safe- guarded in the some manner as they are now protected against smallpox and other deadly dis- eases, by vaccination.“ Describing their experi- rnents, the doctors stated they vaccinated monkeys with muscle injections at least Some had as many as l5 shots in four four times. _ _ months. Others were vaccinated just three times. Others received shots just under the skin, some got the dosage in their veins. souls weren't vaccinated at all. After the monkeys had time to work up antibodies in their systems, the doctors injected live polio virus into their brains. _ _ _ The doctors estimated these brain injec- iians were thousands of times more deadly than any infection a human might pick up naturally. None of the monkeys which had at least f'lr muscle vaccinations developed paralysis after their brains were injected. All the others show- ed "no significant resistance." The Zl not vac- zlnated all developed paralysis. . The Hopkins team said if found in the cen- tral nervous system of il-ie canvalescing monkeys the anti-body which neutralizes the infantile paralysis virus, with remarkably high concen- trations in the severely affected areas. This was a hint that the researchers may some day be able to develop. a vaccine for hllnlfllls- Russia's New Arlstocracy li used to be the boast of the Communists that their’: was a dictatorship of the pgol-c- fariat. Today, apparently, it is the bureaucrats who are in the saddle in Soviet Russia. A caste system dividing wealthy, luxury-loving officials and army officers from the great mass of im- poverished Russian working people (the "prole- fariai") has struck all impartial observers. A graphic example is given by Stephan Collier in Saturday Night. Writing from Mos- cow he compares Olga Lipishinskaya, the $200~a- week ballerina, with Anna Nikiiina, who sup- ports two children an $6.50 a week. "These two Soviet workers," he says, "represent the mast signlficanfsocial process now ripening inside Russia. Russia is today dividing into a farm of class stats with a body of rich and highly priv- ileged people at the top, the vast labouring masses beneath." The new aristocracy is composed, of course, ‘of Party men, skilled political propagandists or "intellectuals," scientists, writers, artists, mar- shals and generals. Any of these can make up to and aver $20,000 a year. And they have many unique caste privileges beside. "Special shops," Mr. Coultar relates. "barred to all but generals of the Red Army and their equivalents, flourish ill the Russian cities, piled with.a variety of goods never-seen in the commercial’ shops. On his, part, the Russian worker, with an average pay of $6.20 a week, "can just about buy his food ration at the fixed prices, pay his rent, hanspart, state loan, trade union dues-y and get himself some minute ‘extras’ occasion-y ally. . .. There are masses in Russia now who are existing well below even this line in povl erty which- until you actually witness it, is bore ly conceivable to o Western mind.

The bureau said that with the month of August usually marking the high paint for farm wages wages in many provinces were approximately the some as those prevailing at Aug. l5, 1946. Ex- ccpi‘ in the case of monthly wage rates with board, British Columbia led the Dominion while rates in Prince Edward Island were lowest. i I fi i The conference between Newfoundland and Canada at Ottawa so far seems to partake of "Aprcs Vous, Alphonse"; both sides being ap- parcntly anxious ta let it be known that tl-ieyl [Eire not fussy whether the union project muferl-l iclizesor not.

The Marquess of Dalhousie, Gavernar-Gcnerakl annexed more Indian territory, between 184B and 1856, than any predecessor. The most impart-, ant of his achievements was the conquering of] Oudh, "The Garden of lndia". His high-handed proceedings in that instance had much to do wiili the Indian Mutiny which broke out in i857‘ ai Mcrrut; the chief centres of the rebellion. were Delhi, (where the king was subsequently dethroned), Cawnpore and Lucknow. Cawnporc was the scene of the "Bloody Well"; Lucknow‘ is celebrated for the relief brought to th-e British garrison by General Havelock. The Conservative Godernment under D'lsraeli, pitwiyas, transferred lndia from the adminisiiafionjof‘ the East India Co. to the Crown, and made Queen Victoria Empress of India. I a t a _Witli the help of the Army and the Lions Club, the boys of Si. Christopher's School, Van- couver, soon will have a long-awaited swimming pool. When the Lions Club chipped ‘in recently with a $1,000 donation toward the pool, Army Reserve Force engineers readily agreed to sup- ply the labour gratis, so that the pool could be completed at a cost within the school's modest resources. All members of the 6th Field Com- yoriy (RF) R.C.E. and, ct the present time, on tiald exercises, the Army men are carrying out r-xcovation and construction training right an the sitr of the swimming pool. The Vancouver "Province" in a news story quoted Major E. L. Hartley, officer commanding the engineer com- pany. as saying that, whenever possible, the North Vancouver unit will be glad to combine training with advantage to the community.

But for Spring eating, nothing quite equals the pie made of the tall coarse petioles of the herb rhubsrbarum rhapantlcum. Aa with ‘all simple but funadarnentally delicious foods. one must abide by certain precepts and rules. There's nothing complicated about a rhubarb pie. but it deserves careful attention. The bottom crust should be thick so a, wedge can be taken out without disaster. Use tender stalks. spread some flour and sugar on the bottom crust. and loss some over- the pieces of edible stem before the top crust ll tucked om. Be sure to make holes in the covering for the juice to ooze out. You can add s tablespoonful of maple syrup and improve the fla- vor. Scatter on a smld|en of cin- namon.

Italian, Latin. and yes. Greek (an instinct told me so). Some voices sounded concise and matter-of-fact. some‘ mouthed the syllables lovingly, some seemed intent on meanings, but all blended harmoniously. A half-open door revealed teachers and students engaged in solving abstract problems—uv so it seemed to me who could never solve an abstract problem. The sound of hammer and engine and saw led me to another room where students were joyfully working out the practical application of these problems. A near-by group was working with texti-Ies and metals Whlle one student ivas reading out loud the story of handicrafts through the ages, and another illustrating it. on the board. In one corner of the large lab- oratory. thc-se capable of pure science were doing research work, in another corner the less in- tellectual were contemtcdly deal- ing with simple problem; sc-me in biology, some ‘in physics and chem- istry. A large stage was divided into three sections. Students were en- acting in the original a Greek tragedy in one part; ln another Dido and Aeneas were saying farewell in Lauri, and on the rest of the stage, students were play- ing ln English, Shakespeare's Henry V-to a very large audience! Nothing is surprising in a dream so I took calmly the fact that were not lecturing to students passively taking notes, but instead the library was Pill- ed with students absorbed in get- i-ing information for themselves. And now a clock chimes. There was no rush to the door. Some cven continued working. Some stopped for a bit to eat in the r-afetaria, where food was supplied by the agricultural students and cooked and served by those in the Domestic Aris. What delighted me greatly was the good-will in evidence between the classical and ' non-classical, students; between those engaged in pure science and those more efficient in the applied aspects. They seemed to enjoy cach- omers company and find plenty to tall: about-in English. How wonderful, I mused ‘m this happy d cam, that there is such diversity among people and that. at. last. all interests and abilities are given the opportunity to de- velop. Classical studies are fine; may there always be a classical department in every school but how good that the overwhe ming majority who cannot take their classics straight, need not be de- prived of an education nn that account and may be exposed to the humanities in plain English. Perhaps in the beginning. remed- ied cluau in English may be n6- ceasary here as at Harvard. since the many come from less learned homes than the few. but perhaps we will pay‘ more attention to the English of the teachers. the methods of teaching English. and ubovs all, the English of the comics, the radio. the cinema. Perhaps these things will help Mary and John's English as much a: the Latin they cannot grasp. _ But just then a bee buzzed too dangerously near. and I awoke. The school vanished, but the m- tori remained. \ I am, biz. etc. RUIIAMAII lCl-IIIINFELD FRANK ALL All! rsnefiuo The fattening qu-alllties of a big coimtrymen in their own interest the de-cription applied in it. by to still further efforts in relief of the United Kingdom's war debts. the specific ground he gave was that this country was Australia's biggest and most valuable market for primary produce. and if its standard of living suffered it would “hit the Australian coun- trysidc a staggering blow." No doubt legitimately he went on to criticize the apparent lack of in- terest taken by Great. Britain in the Domlnions. He had in mind‘ the needless though understand-l nble. dlfliclrnce which restrainsl the Cabinet and Parliament at iveslminsier from seeming to 1r.- trude upon Dominion concerns. 'l‘he reason is. of course. well re- cognized. Statesman in this coun- try rightly shrink from any tvord or action that might encourage n suspicion that they still seek the authority over the once depend- ent Empire of which the last formal relics were legally abro- gated in 1931. But sixteen years have now elapsed since the Stat- ute of Wcsrmlnster. The inde- pendence of the Dominions is by this time too solid and evident to be capable of suffering from the plain speaking among friends for which Mr. Casey and others have explicitly asked. The British Commonwealth con- sists ta-day of five mutually in- terdependent nations. without a common government but recogniz- ing a broad range of common and vital interests. Its task is always tu find n common policy by which those common interests may be preserved. There can be no cen- tralized authority but. there mus‘ be leadership, whether it is to be provided. as hitherto, solely by the senior partner. or whether any one of the five is now prepared ‘.0 take the initiative on at least tliase matters in which. for geo- graphical or other reasons. it has a predominant interest. g I O Imperial leadership can only be exercised by consultation. less for- mal than hitherto but more con- tinuous. There has been no pra- per Imperial Conference since 1937. but. the Empire's statesmen have none the less conferred of- ten and momentously. Possibly tire general conferences at fixed intervals will continue to be found less useful than special conferen- ces convened to discuss particular topics, conferences o! either all the partners or of those imme- diately concerned, the others be- eing kept fully inforirid. Mr. Chlfley has proposed a conference in Australia to concert a common policy for the Empire on the peace terms to be imposed upon Japan before entering the larger discussions with the Allies.
