MONDAY, mac. 3, 1952 Law Enforcement Wepay taxes for the support of courts and law enforcement officers so that pro- tection will be provided for life and pro- perty. It is a first principle of good cit- izenship that we should aid rather than ob- struct such enforcement. When our own house has been broken into we would take a very dim view, indeed, of the citizen who recognized the escaping burglar but declin- ed to give any assistance to the police in identifying him. Game resources are the property of all and those who slaughter or drive away geese or other fowl or game are depriving each of us of our shooting rights. Enforce- ment is iiot a contest between the game warden on the one hand and poacher on the other. It is an onslaught by the poachcr against all of us, in which the game warden is on our side. The same principle applies to all law enforcement. The police are helping us to keep law-breakers in order. In employing their help we do not cease to be the prin- cipally interested party. To get the full value for our tax money we must do every- thing possible to enable the police to carry out the duties with which we have entrust- ed them. They are on our side. They are entitled to the full support of their em- ploycr. car Accident Ratings In order to encourage more careful driving, the Dominion Board of Insurance Underwriters has proposed a system of automobile insurance on a merit rating basis. Drivers without accident claims against their insurance policy for three years would find themselves in a favored position. The purpose, of this proposed measure is admirable, but the Financial Post seriously questions its workability. In the first place, the Post points out that merit rating won't necessarily reduce the number of car accidents. It may re- duce the number of accidents reported-an important difference. Drivers will likely prefer to settle minor accidents like dented fenders themselves without exchanging in- surance cards-lest their rates go up. ”Nobody," says the Post, ”deliberately has tin accident. No one bashes in his own or somebody else's fender just to give vent to his temper. But there are good drivers, and there are poor drivers. It seems only fair that the accident repeaters should pay higher premiums. "Motorists will watch the new system with interest. But apy merit rating must face the problem pointed out by Leigh- torr Foster, a former Ontario Superintend- cnt of Insurance. in any one year only .106; of insured drivers have accidents in- volving other cars and other people, hence two or even three accident-free years mean little. The average driver only has an ac- cident c'vcry 10 yearsf Any 'no accident (liscountl based on such a few years as pro- posed will be in large part a reward for luck rather than an inducement to safer driving. A longer period would be more satisfactory. But bookkeeping and other administrative costs place a definite limit on how long a period can be used." Ema ll.ii. Highlights A good deal of criticism" is being heard with regard to the failure of the United Nations. Certainly there is much yet to be accomplished before world-peace can be assured, but in the meantime the following list of achievements, enumerated by a cor- noting. g 1. In 1946 the Security Council recom- mended the withdrawal of British and French troops from Syria and Lebanon. It was done. I . . 2. Russia, also in 1946, was requested by the'Security Council to withdraw troops --this time from Iran. She did. , 3. -The UN, through the mediation of Dr. Ralph Bunche, effected peace between Israel and the neighboring Arab states. .4. A United- Nations Peace Commission even now stands between the armies of Pakistan and India in the State of Kash- mir. r 1" 5. the efforts -of a' UN Com- was stopped in Indonesia -no rewtihe was campaign against tuberculosis northern neighbors in the Balkans. 7. In Korea the United Nations has tu- ken the first collective action against un- provoked aggression in history. 8. On the recommendation of the Gen- eral Assembly, the former Italian colony of Libya became a free, independent nation. 9. In 1948 the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the first universal proclamation of the fundamental human rights of every hu- man being. 10. The United Nations, through its specialized agencies, has fed and clothed nearly 10,000,000 children in war-devastab ed countries. 11. Under a large. scale vaccination 38,000,000 children have been examined, and 18,000,- 000 vaccinated with BCG. 12. The United Nations Technical As- sistance Program has sent out 1,400 ex- perts to seventy-two countries during 1951- 52. 13. The United Nations is responsible for eleven trust territories with 20,000,000 inhabitants in the Pacific Coast and Africa. 14. The International Bank has loaned nearly a billion and a half dollars to de- velopment in twenty-eight needy countries. Trade With Britain Ottawa reports that Cainada's nine- month exports have reached a new high of more than SS3 billion. To get there, we bought .1576 million worth less of Brit- ish products during the period than for the same period last year-while Britain, in spite of dollar starvation, increased pur- chases from Canada by more than 55132 million. For the nine-month period our trade with Britain created a trade deficit for the United Kingdom of over 0320 mil- lion. i The trend, notes an exchange, was par- ticularly pronounced during the first half of this year-and (hiring the third quarter brought the inevitable reaction: Our sales to the United Kingdom and other Com- monwealth areas began to decline. Our volume of exports to the United States and Latin America also declined. These are ominous soft spots in the trade pattern of the Dominion, as we rely very heavily on high eyport volume for maintenance of domestic business stability.

As the exhaustiof the average car contains about seven per cent of carbon monoxide, one of the deadliest of killers, it does not take long for air to reach one per cent carbon monoxide, sufficient to cause death in a few minutes. Good ventil- ation is essential to the safe operation of car engines and a perfect exhaust system to safe driving.

Gardiner, for the Stock Farm Commissioners. After inspection, the unanimous verdict seems to be: 'The best lot. ever brought to Prince Edward Is- land!

' -The Examiner, April 29, 1881. (The animals purchased by Mr. Gardiner on this occasion included the following: five Border Leicester rams from R. Tweedle, The Forest Catterick: ten Shropshire ram; and five ewes from W. Baker, Moor BHH-9. At-hcrstone; seven Cotswold rams from E.

Food and Agriculture Organization's headquarters here, you might be a little surprised to find 9. dead 10- cust sitting on one of the desks. Mr. Owen B. Lean, FAO's Locust Control Officer, keeps it. as a souvenir. "And it's not ii. symbol of devastation or famine," he will tell you, "but s. reminder that lo- custs can be controlled." The insect looks harmless enough, sitting there all alone. After all, ii locust is nothing but an ordinary grasshopper that has developed some bad habits. But. is locust plague-as any farmer knows-can be 9. terrifying experience. swarms can blacken the sky over a hun- dred squarc miles. They can rip through standing crops like a bulldozer. They can change the whole economy of a nation in hi. few weeks. FAQ's Mr. Lean had watched the present plague develop in East Africa, and then had seen the swarms fly off early this year across the Gulf of Aden. Four months later he was examining eggs laid by those locusts in Jordan-2000 miles away. The Kingdom of Jor- dan suddenly had been turned into a. breeding centre. Quickly, it appealed for help. Just as quick- ly came the response from its threatened neighbors. Technicians and insecticides were rushed in. FAO sent. spraying units and other supplies. The invasion was check- ed. Meanwhile, however, locusts hurl already entered Iran, where the plague soon reached even more frightening proportions. More i.i-.in B. million and a half acres were infested with eggs. Sometimes there were as many as seventy thousand eggs per square .yard. In two months' time, each egg would become an adult. locust. They would swarm across the country, settling on the crops in masses as great as six or eight hundred tons per acre. For Iran's farmers, it spelled famine and misery. Before the eggs hatched. FAO again rushed in helpAeighteeii vehicles to transport locust fight- ers and supplies. Both the Soviet Union and the United states flew in spraying aircraft. Pakistan and India sent. insecticides, specialists and other supplies. To get every-' until they had accumulated suffici- ent money working at. other occup- ations to replenish their implements of trade and go back to sea. And. ironically, quite a. large number of these men lost their replaced ves- sels and gear in subsequent storms, not once but. time and again. For them there has been no comparable indemnity to-that pro- vided .by the Prairie Farm Assist- ance Act, passed pronto to benefit Western Canada's grain growers about twenty years ago when they sustained crop losses. And this legislation has been broadened and made permanent, with millions of dollars of the Canadian taxpnyerr money paid out of the Ottawa treasury annually to help Prairie fni-mars sustaining crop losses due to adverse weather. A year or more ago the then minister of,fisherles, Hon. R. W. Mnyhew. announced that a plan was being evolved on a. co-oper- ntivc basis. with the Government and the fishermen) wuorlbuting to provide financial reimbursement for the toilets of the sec. who loht bolts and equipment through storms. But. somewhere along the line this appears to have become ilidetncked. p The fishermen of the Maritime: -vll we have pointed out in these oolutml on several occasions prev- iously-uo every bit entitled to the tonic manure df protective trut- msnt from the Dominion Govern- ment when they sustain Cu : riinult of the elements as no the gnln growers on-the .Wqstan1' plains. uh than In tw bun, unto!” as of of this wvvbms man mound Iufferinl than so much so in many instcncu u to be uncbloih pursue their calling Middle .

Yet the great battle is far from over. Across Northern Arabia. mo- torlzed units of the British Desert Locust Control and a. mission from Egypt. are spreading poison bait. In Iraq. airplanes are spraying vast areas. On the Iraniari-Pa.k- istan border, the Joint efforts of the two governments have Just averted a new wave. The locust, of course, recog- nizes no frontiers. Fighting it. FAO and the governments have followed suit.-and, in fact, never before have so many countries Joined forces against this scourge. FAO has even supplied an inter- national "General Staff"-n Tech- nical Advisory Committee - and has pledged a. half million dollars to the battle in the name of its sixty-eight. membe governments. , The final answer, however, will come from science. Outbreaks must. be prevented at source rath- er than suppressed. Fortunately, the collective efforts of scientists from a half dozen nations already have begun to bring a solution within reach. ' Add Lost XE. (Globe and Mail) In these days of complex Gov- ernments, an accepted and regular practice of their various branches is the discovery of the se1f-evi- dent. Thus we are told by the Crops Branch of the Department of Agriculture that the consumer who buys potatoes in small am- ounts iielps to keep the prices up. We are not surprised. The small package habit has been part of A way of life for quite a long time now, and any one naive enough to suppose that all the measuring and weighing and wrapping constitute a. gratis service quite obviously shouldn't be out without an escort. But before we consign-this latest tidbit to the useless information collection, we might acknowledge the note of chiding that accom- panies it. "The consumer." says the learned source, "is paying for lils determination to buy in small amounts". Conversely, of course. he could save money lugging home a hundred pound sack of potatoes -and have three-quarters of them sprout. an turn to leather before it came their turn to be eaten. His plight is that in acquiring the facilities for buying them he has completely sacrificed the faculties for storing them. ' our fathers and grandfather: had root-houses-or their urban equivalent the storage bin-in which the winter's supply of po- tatoes, vegetables and apples kept fresh and appetizlng until the last one was used. The storage tradi- tion fought; its way obstlnsioly into city life, and even the old-time apartment blocks had their indi- vidual bins, more or less properly insulated und.str-vented.
