Gremlins In Government Many sprightly stories have been written about the little pals of the R-A-F- and R-C-A-F- called gremlins. These playful little fellows cut up all sorts of didoes. Sometimes they tell a pilot lic is flying upside down when he rezlllyi isn't. Sometimes they tangle up the controls of his plane or deflect his machine-gun bullets from an enemy ship. Of course they are not always working against him. liriendly gremlins may help liim get back his bearings after he has been “blacked otit." They may turn away en- eniy Ack-Ack. Generally they are held res- ponsible for occurrence: which seem to run counter to the normal working of natural laws. One wonders if the gremlln-TBREYCIICYS haven't missed a. fertile field, says the London Free Press. Aren't the mischievous little chaps busy in the government departments? How ‘m; an 50m; of thg strange ‘things happen that do actually occur? How is it that one depart- ment or board will bring out a. statement or an- nounce a policy designed to make another board or department look silly? Surely there must be gremlins hiding in the rolls of red tape. Gremlins seem to busy in Germany cross- ing up the super-efficient propaganda system of Dr. Goebbels. Certainly the gremlins must have had a hand in the arrangements with Darlan, which have stirred up such a storm among the United Nations. Who but remlms would sug- gest to the United States ar Department that the completely discredited l-Iapsburgs were worth wooing? ' liven in Canada tlicre are evidences of grem- Iin work.

The prob- I€m that baffled the scientists was how to re- move the oxygen from the oxide quickly and cheaply, without causing an explosion. Thanks to the foresight of General McNaughton, Can- adian Army Commander. then president of tlic National Research Council, a young McGiIl graduate, Dr. Lloyd M_ Pidgeon. tackled the problem in the Council's laboratories in I957. By November, i940, he had found a laboratory answer and within another year had proved the process commercially. It is estimated that from 14 tons of dolomite and one ton of ferre-silicon, the plant will pro- duce One ton of magnesium ingots. Because the ore is inexhaustible, easy to mine, and cheap, the plant managers believe that after the war mag- nesium will be used in a thousand and one articles sold to tlie public. lu the meantime, every ounce of it is going into tough alloys for warplane parts, bombs and pyrotechnics. Some idea of its value in the latter connection may be gath- ered from the fact that it is noiv employed in jirutluciug a inillion-cantllepoiver parachute flare, a flare so brilliant that by its light one can read a. paper half a mile away-so brilliant that for two minutes or more it could light up every home in Charlottetown, or to cite an example more to the point, illuminate a Nazi target from thousands of feet in the air. .- EDITORIAL NOTES-.

People make up the need for it by eating sounder foods. u a a It is only natural that the Campbell Govem- merit should rejoice in the increase of liquor restrictions, but wliy, oh, why should the distillers and lileuders get away with a bounty of some 3o pcr cent on the water substitutes for the Real McCoy? Similarly, why should the gov- ernment garner revenue from water sold as alcohol. a u u w Prinic Minister King seems to gét away with anything, even to the extent of declaring black is white. Now who are the financial gainers by his new liquor policy? The distillers and brewers! Never was there paid so much for so little, never did water loom so large as a taxable commodity. I I Charles \Vesley, John's poetic brother, born this date, I708; wrote over 6,000 hymns, only half-a-dozcn of which survive t0 be sung in churches today, and several of tlicse altered to suit hymn-book editors. Even his Christmas hymn has been changed, the original reading: Hark how all the welkin rings, Glory to the King of kings!

The police tried to intervene, but l\Ir.__Church_ill_ stayed the of- ficers by exclaiitiing: ‘No. don't stop tlieni. Their hands are worth shaking.’ He shook hands also with each of the R.C.l\l.P. Guard of Honour and asked them where they came from. One, Corporal Hooley, added—“My father fought in the South African war." “Eli," ejaculated the Field-Marshal, "then your father was my enemy and his son my friend. eh?" v iii v In developing our political and social inde- pendence in Canada we must ever be wary 0f the bureaucrats the minions of dictators. Once they get firmly ensconced it takes a revolution almost to be rid of them. Writing of the ex- perience of Russia, Mr. M. Philips Price, M. P., says there probably would have been no bloody revolution, only a gradual uprising Ind it not been for the tyrannical bureaucrats. “The com- mercial middle classes were weak," he says, "and provided no solid backing for the Tsar's Government. The aristocracy was decadent and the Court corrupt. The bureaucratic caste was aloof, tyrannical and not very competent, Since the abortive revolution of 1905 the Tsars had been forced to permit a Duma to sit. But the electoral system gave preponderance to the nob- ility and the bureaucracy. Still, the middle class had some Deputies, and had been for some years learning the art of public debate and criticism.” A Parliamentary regime seemed to be in embryo by i914 and no one can say what would have happened had not the war supervened, but lie implies tlie gradual development would have put the parliamentary iystfm ‘onliits feet. ‘I J for Johnny, out on patrol in the Atlantic, was overdue at base. It was an hour and a half overdue and nobody was happy about it. The aircraft belonged to a Polish squadron attached to Coastal Command. The squadron had raid- ed Germany on several occasions. They had lost aircraft over Germany but they hadn't lost any over tlie Atlantic, and didn't see why they should either. So they determined to search for J for Johnny. But just as preparations were almost complete J for Johnny's familiar roar filled tlie sky. Tension was broken and every- body was happy.

I FIRE PREVENTION AND LOSS OI‘ LIVES s1r.—AIl of us were deeply shocked by the terrible cats-stro- phe In Newfoundland, specially when it occurred such a short time site; the tumble holocsult at. Boston's ‘Oocoeniit- Grovs." If our young men and women have to lay down their lives In the service of their country It least; 1n their last. moments Ihey will feel that; their sacrifice leads the rest of us one step nearer to free- dom. If they perish, however, In l. fire, which perha could have been prevented-w at must their last thoughts be? As to the destruction bv prevent- able fire of recreation hulls, dorm- itories dwelling houses.-1acwries stores of manufactured goods and o! raw materials during ‘wsr tlme. even s trained slboteur could not do better. Fire losses are again on the in- crease, and from present statistics they will be a1; least 25% higher than last year. Why? And wnut can we dobbout It? - ls n fact that each Province has officials-charged with the Im- portant outy of Invest! sting ffres and of Inspectln bul dings for fire hazards. an they are doing their jobs well. " It is also a fact, however, that they are supposed to do. What. then is the solution? . - We have at our disposal from coast to coast, experts trained In this particular type of work. but we do not utilize the services of the experts, many of whom have from 15 to 2D years of ex- erlence. I am referring to the staf a of the Fire Underwriters’ Associations. These Associations are as follows: Newfoundland Board; Prince Erl- ward Island Board: Nova Scot-ta Board; New Brunswick Board; the Fire Underwriters’ Investiga- tion Bureau of Canada; the Can- adian Underwriters’ Assoclatlun, with Jurisdiction over Quebec and Ontario; the Western Canada. Board, with jurisdiction In Man- itoba. Alberta and Saskatchewan; and the British Columbia Board. Thoroughly trained and compe- tent men are on the staffs of all cf thess itssoclatfons, They per- form their work without fear or favour. I am sure each one 0f them would be prepared to ner- farm additional Inspection work and make recommendations part of their war work. . Why do we not. use than?
