Defense Minister Hellyer, of course, couldn’t afford to make a statement like that, he being in pol- ities, and all. But he has indicated that he isn’t turning gray over the beard problem. While he has declined - comment, an aide said he was up to his sideburns in more pressing prob- | ‘ems of unification. * “If beards:were all. we had to worry about, we wouldn't work up much of a lather,” the aide said. ‘I am sure we can come up with some regulation to curtail beard growing and at the same time not rock the traditional navy boat.” Our Farm Prospects As reported by Agriculture Minister MacRae, farm production reached an all-time high in this province in 1965, | with Wollar sales over $41 million. The are for a continuation of this tfend, which in itself is sufficient wapfant for the special pages devoted in today’s Guardian to what, from earliest days, has been the basic in- dustry of our Island province andthe | backbone of our economy.

Beards No Problem “According to the national defense department, the growing of beards is not expected to spread to all three —_ services when unification of-Canada’s defense force is complete. Unification of the navy, army and air force will take place within the next year, but the popularity of beards among navy personnel won't spill over to the other two services. Well, that’s a relief! Under pres- ent regulations, navy personnel may grow beards if their commanding of- ficer approves, but the navy doesn't encourage the practice. In the last war, beards tended to collect oil when . ships were sunk and men Were-some- -times suffocated. In addition, they interfered with the wearing of res- pirators. Any navy rating who applies to.grow a-beard is not allowed shore Teave until his hirsute decoration has grown to a presentable length— a pre- caution which tends to discourage _ heard growing by shore personnel as i will among land-based army and _ air force men. At least, that’s the opinion of Rear-Admiral C. J. Dillion, deputy comptroller of the navy, who is sure there will be no rush to emulate the navy practice. “These days,” he adds parenthetically, “beards are generally associated with rather peculiar people such as beatniks, protestors and the great unwashed.

It has to do with one Purshottam Kokodkar, leader of the Congress Party in Goa, India, who has just let it be known that he has gone into retreat for meditation. As our Ottawa contemporary ‘says, , the cruel but efficient parliamentary system demands that leaders be on view and be prepared to answer questions when, in hours of embar- meditating alone. And think of the relief it would be if they could go into retreat in this fashion in the middle of an election campaign, and pop up, strengthened and refreshed, for the _ final rounds, without questions asked or loss of political face? And wouldn't the country itself stand to gain if its leaders—and their sup- ‘ports too, for that matter—took more _time for meditation and less for promilse: -making. not to speakof — “scandal mongering and scuttle- butting,” as Mr. Pearson used to call it before the Munsinger case came up. Philosophers have long extolled the virtues of meditation; why shoudn’t politicians find it equally beneficial? But according to The Journal. ‘there’s one small catch in India. Traditionally, the man entering the retreat favored by. Mr. Kokodkar gives away all his worldly possessions.
