Brotherhood Week February 17 to 24 has been fix- ed as the time for the 15th annual observance of Brotherhood Week. whose purpose is to promote jus- tice, amity, understanding and co- operation among the racial, relig- ious and ethnic groups of our coun- try and to analyze, moderate and finally eliminate inter-group pre- judices. it “as initiated by the Can- adian Council of Christians and Jews and is now widely indorsed across Canada. Last year, in cities and towns across the country, special pro- jects. programs and services were planned and thousands of Cana- dians participated in the Brother- hood Week celebration. On this oc- casion the observance will be still more widely marked. Certainly there is general recognition of the need for such a movement. on an in- ternational as well as national scale. The movement affords, in the words of External Affairs Minister How- ard Green. an opportunity to con- tribute, as individual citizens, to the establishment of a lasting and secure peace. Of course this does not mean tolerance of things we regard as evil, or the surrendering of one's own convictions either in moral or religious matters. It does mean the exercise of more charity and under- standing in our contacts with oth— ers. It was well said that the true strength of Canada lies in “the free- dom we enjoy of being different one from the other and in our wish to band together to safeguard the interests that are common to all Canadians." That. as we understand it. is at the core of the Brother- hood Week campaign. and it is a creed 'to which all men and women of good will can warmly subscribe. Playing It Cool Believing that they have the ball at their feet in this federal election, Liberal strategists are re- portedly concentrating on putting a damper on the exuberance of their campaign spokesmen. They see dan- gers ahead if they don’t “play it; cool”; though, of course there are pitfalls in this strategy too. The situation is so delicate that at a na- tional campaign council of the party last week, the campaigners were treated to a number of lec- tures from political professors. One of them took for his main theme the subject of humility. It is inad- visable, he warned, to go around talking about the necessity for "strong" government at this time.‘ That word smacked too much of arrogance. Rather, it was reportedly sug- gested, the talk should be of the need for “decisive” government. That is where Mr. Diefenbaker is most vulnerable. His indecisivenes, indeed. amounts to downright stub- bornness. That was what Hal-knees, Bees and Sevigny left his cabinet for, wasn’t it? These faults in oth- ers might appear to be self-con- tradictory, but in the Prime Minis- ter's case they are combined. At least, it's strategy to attack him on’ both grounds—but not too per- annuity. After all, he’s still got friends, especially in the Maritimes. No need of antagonizing theml ‘ The emphasis, we gather from the What skimpy reports of conference, should be on “re- Wmnt”—-leaving the ,to' draw their own conclus- ii to the irresponsible nature ‘tiflmmuuforanad- l ministration. And there should be no talk of promises. That was ever- done in the last campaign, and vot- era are leery of it. The Liberal plat;- form should be one of “policies,” with respectful attention to be paid to priorities—meaning, with- out emphasizing the point unduly— that a new Liberal government would guarantee to provide only those services which the country, in its opinion, can afford. Above all, we gather from the reports, a sceptical public must be convinced that the Liberals are not “hungry for power”, as Mr. Diefenbaker keeps charging. And they must take care to avoid thrusting their shrewd antagonist into an “underdog” position, where he might be able to capitalize on a sympathy vote. That would ruin everything. And it would be bad for Mr. Diet'enbaker, poor maul since it. might put him in the lead and bring him back to power again and make him more unpopular than ever by encouraging him in‘ his stubborn adherence in his deplor- abe indecisions. That is what the Job’s comfort- ers in his own party have been telling him. isn’t it? That’s why they have been tearfully sticking their knives in his back, and urg- ing him to resign. It’s not surpris- ing. in the circumstances, that the Liberals should be preparing to tailor their campaign along the same smooth lines. Killing Lobsters Under the above heading the Ottawa Journal notes that an au— thoritative finding has now been obtained as to the most humane way of killing lobsters. The issue was originally raised by the Cana- dian Federation of Humane Societ- ies. which said a lobster suffers great pain when dropped into boil- ing water. It wants this practice to cease. The Fisheries Department in Ottawa was asked its opinion. It had one. Dr. D.G. Wilder, scientist in charge of lobster investigations for the Fisheries Research Board at St. AndreWs, N.B., is considered by the department to be the top authority on lobsters in this coun- try. A year ago Dr. Wilder made a detailed report on studies he had conducted on the death of lobsters about to be eaten. He considered the twitching that followed immersion in hot water was a reflex action rather than an indication of pain. Dr. Wilder’s con- clusion: “Immersion in boiling wat- er is the quickest, least; painful way of killing lobsters." Lights And Shadows According to the Bureau of Statistics, Canada’s external trade reached $12,616,000,000 in 1962—- an all-time high in our history. More, the Bureau says that there was a. favorable trade balance—- that we sold more goods to outside countries than we bought from them—only the second surplus of this kind to be achieved in ten years. The Bureau also points to a. "sig- nificant gain" in that a progressive- ly larger proportion of our exports was in the category of fully manu- factured goods. The Gross National Product is on its way up, too; for 1962 it is estimated at 8.2 per cent over 1961. On one point, however, the Bur- eau of Statistic figures are any- thing but reassuring. This is in the unemployment field in this Atlan- tic region. 88,000 people in the re- gion were without jobs at mid- January. That is 14.8 per cent of the total labor force. Unemploy- ment climbed in Canada as a whole, but not to the extent it did here. This is particularlv disturbing at a time when the effective processes of government have been brought, to 'a two-months halt so that the pol- itical parties can fight an election campaign. , EDITORIAL NOTE It is interesting to note that Can- ada exported 1.3 million tons of grain (mainly wheat) to West Germany in the past crop year. But Canada’s commercial consellor at Bonn, Mr. J.A. Stiles. points out that other agricultural :producta from Can- ada can be sold in Germany. At the and of September and at the be- ginning of October. 1962. the govern- ment opened import. possibilities for canned wax beans from Canada and the United States. and canned green beans from all countries. MEX "HE’S WRITING DIRTY WORDS” OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson Good Crop Oi Parliamentary Pensioners Nearly one-fifth of all the members of this past parlia- ment are now newly- qualified for the M.P's pensiou— a many of them may well drawing it before Easter. To qualify for this very gen- erous pension. an M. P. must contribute $240 p r e yeal an must sit in at lea.t three differ- .' ent parliaments. As our normal parliament lasts between four. and five years this could mean that a minimum of say 13 years representation in the House of Commons would entitle an ex- M.P. to the pension. our recent parliaments have not lasted for the normal length. In June 1957 we elected in parliament which was dissolv- ed within eight months: a n (1 again in June 1962 we elected a parliament which was dissolv- ed within eight months. In be- tween. we had a parliament which lasted barely four years. Thus the crop of new MP5 who were first elected to parlia— ment in that 1957 election are now eligible for the pension—if they retire or fail to win re - election. TORY FLOOD The 1957 crop was the fir st wave of the flood of new Con- servatives who came in o the Diefenbaker surge. There Were also a small handful of representatives of other parties newly elected at that time, and four of these are now eligible for pensions. These are fluent foursome in the Democratic Party. Douglas Fisher from Port A rthur. Murdo Martin from Timmlns, Arnold Peters from Kirkland Lake. and Frank Howard rep- resenting Skeena. B.C. The great body of Conserva- tives. who were first elected in 1957 and were still MPs at dis- solution two weeks ago, now cover the whole range fr 0 in cabinet minister to back-bench- er. They include cabinet n e w- comer Marcel Lambert from 'J New Alberta and cabinet old timer . Ray O'Hurley from Quebec. They also include a well-liked and able group of back- bench- ers from Ontario, Heber Smit from Simcoe North. "Doc" Ry- nard for Simcoe East.

The company is re- ported to be well under way. It is reasonable to predict that the area brou ht under cultivation will yield profitable returns. TEN YEARS AGO (February 18. 1953) The new dried milk plant building of the Central Cream- eriea is near completion, an d dairy equipment is being instal- led. The new building adjoins the Company's present plant on Fitzroy street. Charlottetown. More than 150 years of mem- bership in the YMCA is repre- sented by the executive of Moore and McLeod Ltd.

MPs in the last parliament who had qualified earlier for the pension include 19 who have now sat in four parliaments, 17 who have sat in five. nine who have sat in six. and then nine more MP5 who are the real vet- . erans. Among these latter are External Affairs Minister Ho- “ ward Green, ormer He alth ‘ Minister Patti Martin. former Transport Minister Chevrier and Liberal front- bencher Azellus Denis who have all sat in eight parliaments: and John Diefenbaker and Tory front-bencher Elston Car- diff. as well as Liberals George .

PENSIIN’S WORTH ; MPs contribute per year to l their pension fund. until they l have paid in a maximum $4,000, which takes just over 16 : years. They draw, as a pen- sion, a yearly sum equal to 75 per cent of their total prem- iums. This means that the 1957 crop who have fortuitously qua- lified for the pension after un- usually short service in parlia- ment, would now be entitled to receive an unusually low pen- sion of just over $1,000 per year. 1 All those MPs mentioned above seem likely to be re-eleci~ ed, and in that case they will be able to pay more contribu- tions into the pension fund. and _thus augment the pension they i will ultimately receive. 9 >0. l Arduous Task For UN l Ottawa Citizen Even though the United Na- ;tions military operation in the Congo is fin ally ended. the world organization's obligations are by no means discharged. 0n the contrary. the UN fac- es 3 long. arduous task.

The atomic age is not quite { 18 years old. Twice in those 18 years a nuclear bomb or the ‘knowledge of it has caused a tremendous upheaval in human affairs. Now a third upheaval is either upon us or in the near fu- ture. It was in 1945 that the U. 8. used the first atomic bombs to bring a speedy end—at terrible cost— to World War II in th e .Paclfic. Eight years later, the l announcement that Russia has lthe nuclear bomb gave a new land terrifying dimension to the . War. Now there are confirmed reports that Com- munist China has two' atom bombs. It matters little whether the imports are true. whether China It: actually in possession of ato- lmic bombs.

THE OTHER FACTOR If the balance of power loses its strength as a deterrent to war. the world must depend more than ever on the o t h e r actor negotiations.

He wanted to know and I had to say yes provided his wife (my sister) said it was so. After all. she is the listener and in this noisy condition. the lib tener suffers. not the ctim. The antihistamlnic agent may reduce congestion in the nasal passageways at night. As a re- sult the air flows in and out of his noise without making a sound. In addition. nasal rather than mouth breathing is encour- t: ed. This is mentioned because not. every person who snot-es sleep: on the back with the mouth open. Some of the noisiest bed- fellows do their best log sawing when lying on the side with the mouth closed. They are nasal snot-era and the sounds come from a partial obstruction or flapping appendages in the nose or back of the throat. Anything capable of vibrating along the air passageways will give off a snorting sound. The usual offenders are the uvul hanging in the back of the throat and the flap-like epiglot- tie that guards the windpipe. But the soft palate, tonsil pil- lars. and relaxed cheeks are strong contenders. Sleeping on the back is conducive to snor- ing because it allows the chin to drop and the low er jaw to sag. Anything that obstructs the nose encourages mouth breath- ing, which explains why snoring is more common during a cold or among people with polyps or a deviated septum. This type of snoring oftcn disappears when the causative condition is cor- rected. There are remedies galore for snoring but none has withstood the test of time. Rolling over in bed and the use of a head hal- ter to keep the mouth closed are high on the list. But noth- ing works so well as having the snorer sleep in a different room lor having the real victim wear ‘ ear plugs or muffs. EAR TUBE BLOCKAGE R.

The most popular is pass a catheter thru the nose ‘directly into the eustachian tube. In the second plan, suc- tion is used. In the third. the lindividual attempts to exhale forcibly while holding the nos- trils with the mouth closed. This method is risky when a respiratory infection exists be- cause of the danger of forcing .tnfected material into the ear.

Viewed In By Jae Retrospect Canadian Press sort Writer On successive days toward the end’ of last month, the new United States Ambassador to 'Canada and the Canadian secre- tary of state for external af- fairs talked publicly what candidly about problems affecting Canada-U.S. relations. Viewed in retrospect, the re- marks of W. Walton Butter- worth and of Howard Green seem more meaningful now when they were made through indifferent werye. Mr. Green. who addressed Parliament Jan. 24 in a foreign affairs debate, probably would not have spoken as he did had the debate taken place one week later. For on Jan. 30, like a thun- derclap. came the U. S. state department which opened the curtain on a serious row be- tween the two countries and also appeared to belie some- thing Mr. Green had said. Declaring the Cuban crisis had made “perfectly clear" that the U.S. enjoys a preponderance of power over Russia. the ex- ternal affairs minister said there is quite a temptation for the biggest fellow in the School- to shove everyone else around. FORESAW “Now.

Read now in the light of de- velopments, Mr. Butterworth'l thoughtful. carefully - worded address seems subtly to hint at the conflicts since exposed to public view. URGED JOINT DEFENCE For instance, he said Canada and the U.S. mus react jointly" to continental defence problems. “Recent events in the Carib- bean have again brought to the fore our interdependence in hemispheric defence," he said at another point. Th U.S. was fully conscious of Canada's identity and indi- viduality. “We seek to take con- tinual account of your con- sciousness of our looming pree- ece." But Canadians should under- stand “the immensity and oc- casional urgency" of the prob- lems confronting the ‘U.S., a na- tion on which “history has im- posed unprecedented responsi- bilities and burdens." Then there was this signifi- cant statement: “Each (the U.S. and Canada) must determine how it views its self-interest and in what pers. pectlve: how it weighs its rea- ponsibilities and how it pro- poses to meet them; . . . what adaptations to inevitable changes it considers it should make in its actions, its views, and. not least, in its illusions." Song Of A Real Sheik Milwaukee Probably most people who on television 3‘ e r u n a never lng sheik around whom the show was built was a romantic fel- low, and "The Riff Song" stir- red visions of magnificent war‘ riors swirling over the desert sands in search of love and ad- venture. It was all built upon a legend of Abd e1 Krim. It was s ome- fhing like making a knight of the Round Table out of Stalin. In real life Abd e1 Krim was a murderer, e despot. a torturer, a ruffian. At the head of a swarm of Riffs he tried from 1921 to 1928 to establish his own Riff ne- tion. He terrorized Spanish set~ tlemcnts in Morocco and sound- ly beat the Spanish army. He killed most of his prisoners and collected ransom from Spain for the rest. Then he turned on French outposts, and the French became his main hate.
