(On Active Service) ‘The Strongest Memory is Weaker Than the Weakest Ink.” TUESDAY SEPTEMBER IS, 1M3. The Family Doctor Down the ages the medicine man, or doctor, has held a foremost place in every community. In Ecclcsiasticus we are told “Honour a physi- cian with the honour due unto him for the uses which we may have of him: for the Lord hath created him. For of the Most High conieth healing, and he shall receive honour of tlie King. The skill of the physician shall lift up his head: and in the sight of great men he shall be in ad- miration." In more modern times, R. L. Stevenson de- clared: “Thcre are iiicii and classes of men that stand above the common herd: the soldier, the sailor and the shepherd not infrequently; the artist rarely, rarclicr still, the clergyman; the physician almost as a rule. He is the flower, such as it is, of our civilization." These tributes, of course, were paid before the revelations made in "The Citadel" of the wiles and practices of many modern get-rich-quick practictioners of the healing art. But we still have amongst us some of the old-time family physicians who are a boon and a blessing to men. The craze for specialism is making sad in- roads on them, but according to that reputable organ of medical opinion "The Family Doctor", it is merely a passing phase, and before many moons, the old time general practictioner will return to his own. And rightly so in our Chris- tian civilization. The men who in the past have contributed best to our well-being have been the parish minister or priest, the family doctor and the family lawyer. They were the three local pillars of the state, the men who by long and faithful service, knew the family history of everyone in the countryside, shared their joys and sorrows, extricated unforlunates who were in trouble, and knew the domestic and physical history of every family for generations back. Nothing is more estimable, we are told than a physician, who having studied nature in his youth, knows the properties of the human body, the diseases which assail it, exercises his art with caution, and pays equal attention to the rich and poor alike. His price to the community is above rubies; he is its stay and comforter. Not very long ago an Islander visited our honoured and very much beloved Dr. David MacKenzie to inquire after a young man who had been sent to the Royal Victoria Hospital for treatment. “What's his trouble?" asked the visitor. “Well," replied the doctor quietly, “I knew his grandfather, I know his father, and what this young rgsn requires more than any- thing else is to be nut across the paternal knee snd have the fear of God spanked into him." ‘There spoke the family physician, not the specialist. There wu once s secretary of the Y.M.C.A. ii Charlottetown whose aptitude was more com- mercial than religious, indeed, he drifted into the fox business. He called not infrequently at the Guardian Office, and after his departure one day, the late Mr. D. K. Currie, in his quiet philosophic way remarked: “You know I would not care to have that man's face ct my bedside were I dying." The same thought must occur to many with regard to the bedside manner of not a few doe- tors, who perforce have to be in close associa- tion with those about to die. All of which leads to our expression of regret that Charlottetown and Queen's County generally is this week to lose one of its old time genuine family physi- cians in the person of Dr. G. F. Dewar, who leaves on Thursday with his son Lloyd to spend his declining years in the sunnier and more con- genial climate of British Columbia. His has been a household name for more than thirty years, and he has the record of never having turned down a night call all the time of his practice. When other doctors failed, Dr. Dewar could always be relied upon to respond, be the weather ever so stormy and the road ever so dreary. His loss is literally irreparable in these degenerate days, and the best wishes of all the community go with him for the enjoyment of “tell-earned retirement in health and happiness in the province of his adoption. The Soldier Vole The Liberal press is not satisfied ivith its ~ pdrty candidates obtaining two—thirds of the leg- islative seats with one-half the popular vote. It must needs protest. Something rankles. something is wrong. The fruits of victory are spoiled by the canker of a guilty conscience. Like Lady Blacbeth, our Liberal friends must keep washing their hands to cleanse them of a "damn- ed spot.“ And their party organ reflects their unquiet attitude. It exposed the root of the trouble on Saturday, with s frankness which was probably unintentional. The disfranehisement of our soldiers over- seas and in other parts of Canada received na- tion-wide publicity during the campaign, and was made the subject of strong condemnation in service men's publications. It is something which even the most partisan Liberal follower feels in his heart to have been wrong. We have said nothing on this subject since the election, feeling that no more need be said. But our contemporary cannot keep away from it. Sanc- fimoniously, it claims to have "refrained from entering into the discussion because we did not want to engage in any acrimonious debate one way or a“: other, over anything pertaining to the loved ones _of those who are serving overseas." The fsct is that scarcely a day passed in which it did not trot out alihis for the Jones Govern- menfs failure to give service men their votes. During the last week of the campaign it gave assurance‘ daily that Island soldiers who were ln the Province could vote. No such provision -aor_ hdad u; provision of qty kind-was i made for them in the Election Act ;_but the Lib- erals well knew that no Conservative would challenge the vote of any man in uniform. Our contemporary refers to plans now under way in the United States to give sll American soldiers, wherever serving, a vote in the next general election. It cites this as an experiment of doubtful nature. Yet in the article from which it quotes (Guardian, Sept. 25) appears the statement that "in three elections held in Canada since the war began soldiers overseas have exercised a vote." This is a complete ans- wer to the claim that it could not be done, and makes unnecessary any reply to the argument that the Conservatives should have suggested s “practical" mcthbd of vote-taking. Premier Jones and his colleagues, like Brutus, are honourable men. We believe that they will continue to feel conscience-stricken over their part in disfranchising our service forces. And so long as they feel that way, their party press will doubtless feel obliged to try to justify them. —EDITORIAL NOTES- Between June, 194.2, and April, i943, Britain provided for American troops stationed in the United Kingdom 1,360,000 ship tons of supplies and equipment and 2,170,000 tons of construc- tion materials. n e u Before the days'of Lend-Lease, the British Government poured about £375 million ($i,- 665,000) into the American Aircraft Industry, and spent some £43,25o,ooo $192,030,000) di- rectly in capital assistance to American corpora- tions making aircraftutariks and guns. I U O is.t It This happened at Canadian field headquart- ers in Italy: .-\ smiling Italian bowed himself into the Intelligence Office and asked for“Georgc." "George." “George who? and why George?” asked the intelligence officer. “I think he call himself George," said the Italian. The officer patiently explained there were many Georges about. He asked what was the Italians busi- ness. The Italian produced a torn piece of paper in reply, on which was scribbled “This man's house taken for use by His Majcsty’s Government. (Signfd) George, R.I." l ll I The good teacher is a cheerful soul with a fondness for people-and, members of the pro- fession take note, is not overgiven to talk. Such, at any raté, is the opinion of a group of On- tario high school students who recently des- cribed the best teachers they had had during their M” school days. Marked on a five-point rating scale under f4 headings, the descriptions re- vealed the following: the good teacher takes considerable time for play, and, in the eyes of the pupils, is a fearless person; boys prefcri a teacher who is a maker of things, girls one who is s collector; height and weight are not parti- "'09 cularly important, although girls seem to like tall _teachers; on the whole, according to the opinion of the boys and girls, the average teacher ap- pears to be rather full of curiosity, rather as- sertive snd able to express disgust very effec- tivelyl o e u s Germany's industrial resources are by no J51 means confined within the boundaries of Ger- many. These resourccs are spread literally throughout Europe. She is drawing strength from the factories of France, Belgium, Po- land, Czechoslovakia-to mention only four and not to mention Italy. But apart from the ad- vantage Germany has because of her size, she has also the advantage of distance. Germany has aerodromes all along the French coast, in Belgium, in Holland and in Denmark; and she is able to attack from many points which, rela- tively, are only short distances from the heart of Britain's industrial power. Nevertheless, Germany has been unable to restrict Britain's production and today it is greater, relatively, than that of any othe; country in the world. Undoubtedly, when the Allies operate from air bases in Italy a new and tremendous strain will be put on G€fm8!l'y'S‘lil" deifences. Giving the pros and cons of the age-old ques- tion of whether environment or heredity is the chief factor in delinquency, Hon. Justice J. Gordon Nicholson, judge of the Montreal Juv- enile Court. told the Junior League of that city that while heredity offers many factors which make adiustment to normal behavior more dif- ficult, the effect of outside or environmental forces 0n the universal needs of humanity might easily be the cause of maladjustment. He dealt with the delinquency problem as seen from the angle of a juvenile court. outlining the many causes and factors to which the problem, which he said covers manv types of human behavior, may be attributed. Universal needs he listed as affection, s sense of security and stability, the need for recognition and self expression. If a person is frustrated in these basic needs he will not react according to normal behavior. As all behavior has a purpose s sense of frustration will cause him to try to make up for the lack in some other way generally by anti-social behavior. u u s e This is not s case of blowing our own horn, says the Montreal Gazette. Canadian newspap- ers have not had to do that. The support which they have rendered in Victory Loan campaigns and in the promotion of other war enterprises of various kinds has b_een appreciated formally in official statements. Now comes Mr. Cyril IDeMara, Rentals Administrator for the War- time Pricel snd Trade Board, with s public sc- knowledgment that in the distribution of in- formation on rental regulations the newspapers have been "the most powerful instruments." They have done what the Prices Board could not do through the distribution of thousands of pamphlets; these the public did not read, or did not read thoroughly; they got moat of their information from the newspapers. Mara thanked the mess of Canada in the course of an address to the Ottawa Real Estate Board. n His thanks are spprecisfed, u are those that g, have come from other sources. Prime Minister King in the middle cf July told the House of Commons that the best source of war informa- tion wss the daily newspaper.
