"'rniinsn.u'.”Aiious1"flss(- pp- Mr. Harris & Potatoes Finance Minister Harris has been having a lot to say about potatoes, but ll is iiilcstiolialile whether (Tan- edian producers llill Pl'0fll l".V his dissertations on the important sub- ject. For some reason known only to himself he saw fit. to observe that "ilaiiadiaii potato growers have en. pin,-ed ;. lulu: pPi'inrl of prosperity which they hadnlt. seen under the last Conservative Government." Even assuming that the illong period of prosperity" is an economic fact and not merely a figment of a politically- gnnirolled imagination -V more than one farmer will dispute it -- any hearing: it may have on the farmers grievance respecting potato tariffs, or on Liberal policies for that mat- ter. is so vague that it might be con- sidered entirely extraneous to the subject. Again, the Finance Minister sees "pretty good stability" in the (ana- dian potato business except for an excess in proriuclion which occurs every three or four years. The view held by farmers who actually are engaged in production doesn't tally with that at all. Put very briefly. it. is that potatoes are high in price when there are few available and very low when any sizeable quantity is on hand. it is of little comfort to growers to know potatoes are four or five dollars ll bag when -they don't have any to sell and anywhere from fifty cents to a dollar when their cellars are i'ull. In any case. Mr. Harris' cheer- Qulnesa dnesnlt do anything to sat- lefy the farmers' grievance against the obviously unfair law which per- mits American potatoes to come in- B this country duty-free while Can- adian exports to points across the border are taxed to the extent of 379, cents a hundredweight. It may. be impossible, as Mr. Harris says. for the Canadian Government to persuade the United States Govern- ment; lo reduce the heavy duty; but surely it ought t.o be possible for the Canadian Government to show as much consideration for Canadian potato growers as the United States Government shows for American producers. The supposition, which is put forward whenever the matter is mentioned, that a duty on American potatoes e.nt.ering this country would result in impairment and perhaps elimination of the American market for Canadian seed is probably less weighty than it is made out to be. The fact; is that Canadian seed po- tatoes are in demand south of the border simply because they are of superi r quality; and it is hardly likely that they would be kept out simply as an act. of retribution for Canadian farmers for standing up for their rights. in fact, no Canadian Government official has ever stated that this would actually happen, probably because no one has ever taken the trouble to find out. (fer- tninly. potato growers are entitled to a frank and authoritative state- ment on the subject. So far. they haven't been given it. - CCF Leadership Perhaps the best bit of news to come out of the C.C.l-". national con- ycntion is that Mr. Coldwell is to continue as leader. Some months ago it was feared that the state of his health would necessitate his retire- ment. The decision means that his health is now considered satisfactory, is matter for general satisfaction. If A JIIIIII. too. that the Canadian po- swtmchu-e -is not to lose the fund, wisdom which Mr. toft over ofmosnhsnaoynrssln ., the mount sstidsctlon. auto! season, hi it, has been no radical venture bent on disrupting national unity but a calm and well directed program in the finest democratic tradition. His per- sonality and talents for leadership have done much to keep his organi- zation on a steady even path of pub- lic service. His gifts as a parliamen- tarian place him in the front row of Canadian statesmen past and present. it is all very well to Say that political parties should be judg- ed by the philosophies they hold and propagate. But that is only part of the story. Just as important. per- haps more so. is the LVP9 ill l93d91" ship that is brought to bear on these academic beliefs from time to time- In this respect Mr. Coldwell can hold his own with the best of them- Doubtless, there are some things about the political policy of the t".(f.F. which many Canadians, prob- ahiy the majority or them. do not relish particularly; but as long 13 Mr. (loldwell is around he will see to it that these controversial dogmas do not get out of hand. It is to be hoped that his good sense of moderation is being studied closely by those who in the future may be called upon t.o wear his mantle. It is to be hoped, too, that the transfer of that mantle to other shoulders will not become necessary for many years to come. Natal Day Observance Yesterday our civic natal day was observed for the first time, August 8, IRES, being the date on which (Thai-lottrtnwn became an in- corporated city. in view of the fact that the anniversary falls so close in Old Home Week. however. would it not be desirable to hold the ob- servance in luture on. say. the Mon- day of that week. thus making the holiday one of real advantage to our citizens. There is no reason why the ,c-ignifir-.-nice nf the ii n it i vs 1' s a r.V should be lost. by this innovation. it would indeed become more fixed in the public mind by associating it with the opening of the biggest event oi our holiday season.

This makes the Flight the largest in any RAF unit at home or in 'll:ilaya or oth er parts of the world and draws attention to the faith now placed in the helicopter for duties at recon- naissan c; communication: for casualty evacuation: and for en- abling security forces on the ground to close. quickly round ter- rorist llideouts: seal all est-ape avenues; and even direct the slow moving foot soldier in forest or mountains to the. kill.

FROM All! The routine sampling reported in our papers cannot. very well he carried out by the ideal method of counting all pollen grains as they are recovered directly from specific volumes of air. ' Such a procedure would be too Inconvenient and ,' naive in most instances. Furthermore. the method used by most allergist: is pretty accurate. The pollen count is carried out. as follows: ..Au 'oi.l - coated glass slide mounted horizontally in a protec- tive container is exposed oil-slde' 3 outdoors for 24 hours. Gener- y. it's placed atop a high build- lna somewhere in the center of the cihv. Using a microscope. the, num- her of pollen grains on one square centimeter are counted. With this count as a basis. the allergist: can estimate the average number of pollen grains in a cubic yard of air. That's the count which your paper publishes. . Since this is a 24-hour count. it'll obvious that it does not mean that the pollen in the air was ex- actly the same during each hour of the day. There may be great. variations. FREE OF POLLEN Greatest concentrations occur in the forenoon-about it am. or so. Usually the air is pretty free of pollen after mid- night. Hay fever symptoms also are likely to increase on warm. dry days when strong and falrl con- stant winds sweep more liens through the air. Cool, damp weath- er. on the other hand. hinders the circulation of airborne pollen. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. L.G.: My husband has been getting up at night. every hour or so for the past six months to urinate. He has no other diffi- cutly or pain. What would you advise? Answer: From your description it would seem that he is suffering from prostate difficulty. The pro- state gland may be enlarged and thus does not permit the bladd to empty completely. This causes the frequency of urination. He should consult his physician at once. the Age O-l;Stor) Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden. had I will give you rest.
