It was mooted by a committee of the Cana- dian Medical Association. which wants the Board of Broadcast Gov- ernors to issue a rule preventing TV performers from smoking while they are‘.on screen. The aim is to protect the: impressionable minds of the little ones. In an explanatory foot- note to this proposal. the Toronto Globe and Mail adds: “They will still be permitted to watch mayhem and massacre on TV. but will be spared from seeing the survivors take a. drag on a filtertip." In less sarcastic vein. the Win- nipeg Free Press totes up some of the drawbacks to this no doubt well- intentioned proposal. Much of the stuff appearing on Canadian tele- vision stations comes from the Unit- ed States. Britain and other coun- tries. How are smoking performers from abroad going to be censored bug? it asks. And from the humanitarian standpoint, wouldn't it be cruel to deprive some of the people on tele- vision of the comfort of their pipe or cigarette '2 Most professional per— formers would not notice such a ban; but the person who appears only occasionally as a commentator or a member of a panel might be hard pressed to know what to do with his hands. Besides. an opinion always seems to carry more weight if it is delivered behind a good heavy smokescreen! Even if the committee’s idea had its desired effect (which is most doubtful) it would be illogical to stop at censoring smoking on TV alone. ’hat about all those pictures in newspapers and magazines where patio. celebrated or otherwise. are 51‘ wn smoking? Would the com- mittee have some hard-working art editor touch out all the cigarettes, pipes and cigars? “Once this idea gets started," concludes our Winnipeg contempor- ary. “there is no telling where it would stop. in the circumstances. the best place to stop it is before it gets started." But not. surely. before a little fun can be had out of debating it. to take the tension off that other hor- rendous issue Mr. Pearson threatens to bring up in Parliament this week. An Excuing Area “Most education is based on cer- tain ideas about the way people learn; but neither psychologists. physiologists. nor educators KNOW how a person’s mind works. When a. first grader begins to learn to read, he learns to recognize the ap- pearance of letters and words and the relation between their appear- ance and their sounds when spoken. But no one can describe what hap- pens in his mind when he is me. aented with a new word, how he files away for future use the ap- pearance, pronunciation, use and meaning of the mini. nor how he later recalls the word and relates it to other information that his mind has stored." Thus reports the Carnegie Cor- r poration of New York in a review ' of its activities for the past year, which included assistance to a num- :ber of institutions in the United States which are delving into this complex problem of how the human I L mind functions. The volume of paper work in "'V recording and analyzing each stud- ant’s responses I to” teacher to do this kind a! re- makes it difficult $20.00 per ' search even with one student with- out automation. But at Stanford University, with Corporation aid. an automated laboratory is being constructed. When completed, it will enable researchers to work with up to six school-aged children or young adults at a time and will provide more flexibility in programming experiments than has been feasible with existing facilities. Another Corporation-supported project in the same field is an ex- periment in teaching more than 100 children between two and five years of age to read, write. typewrite and take dictation. It is believed by the researchers that very young child- ren have more intellectual ability and interest than educationists give them credit for. The goal of the experiment is to design learning environments that will be as con. ducive to the acquisition of other complex skills. such as the three R's. as the child‘s environment is in his learning to speak. How many different aspects of learning and thought processes will have to be studied. how many dif~ ferent approaches will have to be tried before any breakthrough at all may be made in understanding the functioning of the mind. cannot be foretold. “For a foundation dedicat- ed to the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and understanding. however." adds the report. “contrib- uting to the search for such funda- mental information is basic to its interests. if is also an exciting area in which to participate." Despite Modern SCIence Despite the progress of medical science. we are reminded that age- old diseases in epidemic form can still ravage parts of the world. in Aberdeen. Scotland, cases of typhoid continue to mount. The epidemic is said to have spread to Buckie. 15 miles from Gordonstoun. where Prince Charles is a boarder. and where he and 399 other school- boys have been put on a stricter than ever routine of hand-washing and personal cleanliness. Older readers will recall that typhoid epidemics were not infre- quent in this province. as in other parts of Canada. Water chlorination did much to remove this menace so far as Charlottetown is concerned; and we can thank the water com- missioners of that day that they didn‘t wait to take a plebiscite on the question once the danger of the city’s drinking water was call- ed to their attention. They went ahead and made it safe. and we haven't had a typhoid epidemic since. in Aberdeen. however. it is not the water but a can of South Ameri- can corned beef. sliced in a super- market. that is blamed for the trouble. The British government has ordered an investigation into the outbreak. and may come up with a. different answer. Britain normal- ly has about 50 to 100 isolated cases of typhoid a year. This is the third outbreak in as many years attribut- ed to imported corned beef. in remoter parts of the world. epidemics of one kind or another are still prevalent. Recent dis- patches reported a major outbreak of cholera in Burma-~-the s econd since last November. when more than 200 persons were said to have died. Thirty-three new cases. including 11 deaths. were reported there last week. EDITORIAL NOTES A bag-pipes school is being built in Brittany.

The school is to be equipped, says the Ottawa Journal reassuring- ly, with soundproof practice rooms. * i 0 It is regrettable that two sou r notes were struck in connection with the D-Day ceremonies in Nor- mandy. One was French President de Gaulle‘s refusal to attend. or to permit Premier Georges Pompidou to take an official part. The other —still more regrettable to his many admirers throughout the Common- wealth—was the criticism Field Mamhal Viscount Montgomery chose to make of the ineptitude of General Eisenhower‘s strategy during the war. in a D-Day anniversary pro- gram in London. Picking this occas- ion to air his differences with the former Allied oommander-in-chief was ill-judged. to say the least. It was a relief to note that General Eisenshower declined comment. u Io DEC 0 . Avisnsicnvs; CANADIAN FLAG _7 NOW THAT WE’VE GOT AROUND TO IT THE TWO CHOICES Tariff Walls A Deterrent To Progress The Canadian government is still a long way from detailed trade policies and undoubtedly is divided. like all governments. between its low-tariff and pro- iectionisi elements. But as Winnipeg Free Press least it has begun to face the two basic facts of the national i economy — on the one hand, a ‘ highly efficient apparatus in primary production; t... other. a secondary industry Need For Restraint Winnipeg Free Press The campaign of the Cana- dian Association of University Teachers for academic repre- sentation on university admin- istrative boards has taken an unpleasant turn with the ap- pearance of a new book titled A Place of Liberty. published by Clarke. lrwin of Toronto. A number of the contributors to A Place of Liberty have pre- sented their arguments in rea- sonable terms and. considering their personal involvement in the subject. with admirable rev straini. The same cannot be said of the essay written by Pro- lessor W.L. Morton. provost of the new university college at the University of Manitoba. He writes: “The Association still endea- vors to be a professional socie- ty and to act with professionai restraint. but if the universities persist in being soulless corpor- ations governed by men who are by reason and instinct contem"- tuous of those they employ and. as obervation suggests. inuin- cibly ignorant of the work those men pursuc. then the university community must finally dividi 1 into two segments at cold war with one another." l Mr. Morton evidently feels that he and his colleagues are the sole repositories of reason and intelligence. All. other peo- ple —- or at least all other people now 5 e r v i n g on university boards — are contemptuous and ignorant. One wonders after reading . such statements how a univer- sity board could conduct its bus- iness if it were even partially composed of men using such un- civilized language. So in u c h time would be taken up with threats and name calling that very little would be left for uni- ‘ versity administration. The individuals whom . Morton slanders would be the first to defend his right to speak as he does. through the tenor of his essay is that the present ad- ministration system somehow compromises academic free- dom. They can hardly be blam- ed, however. for being skeptical about what sort of contribution he and his colleagues c ou l d make to a board of governors.

From here on it is up to produce up to 12 fertile eggs a year in captivity. compared with one or two in the wilds. It should take five years or so to build up a fine breeding flock.

Speaking to the Canadian Manufacturers Association. the historic headquarters of profect- . ionism. Mr. Drury said that the nation's system of secondary manufacturing was riddled with costly duplication of facilities. Part of it was high-cost uneco- mic and relatively inefficient by world standards. . Therefore the manufacturing industries must re-examine their environment in the actual con- text of world conditions as they now exist and as they are cer- i tam to change in the future.

They cannot be evaded when an Accelerating industrial revolu- tion has transformed mankind's entire prospects.
