Raises Grave Questions The record-breaking flights of the Soviet “space twins" this week have electrified the world. as Of course they were intended to do. The question now arises whether, in view of the implicat.ions of this achievement, the chances of the United States beating the Soviets to the moon can be said to exist at all. U.S. scientists admit that it will no two years or so before they Will have a Saturn booster that will pro- ‘Aride the sufficient thrust to permit of catching up to the Soviets in the big payloads aloft. Is it worth while, many are ask- ing, for the United States to ex- pend $20,000 million to $40,000 mil- lion before 1970 in the race to be the first to the moon? Former President Eisenhower has recently deplored “such a fantastically expensive crash program.” And'an article in the Saturday Review st1g‘5!e5'fS what might be done with, sa.V- $30-- 000 million—other than spending it on the technology. science. a nd equipment required for this pII1‘D°S0- One could raise all the United States teachers’ salaries by 10 per cent for 10 years with this monc.V- One could build and endow new uni- versities for 53 of the new countries which have joined the United Na- tions. One coulu finance 50.000 new fellowships for scientists and en- gineers. And so on and on. However. apart from other considerations it is the national security aspect about which Washington officials are wor- ried at present. The possibility of hostile missiles circling the earth armed with 10- metagon H-bombs. and other fan- tastic space weapons, has assumed more nightmarish proportions than ever. Could the United States bow out of the race now. or mount .iII-S1‘ a modest space assault. and thus leave the major portion of this vast enterprise to the Soviets? Q1108- tions of this kind may account for the fact that President Ken- nedy's advisers, once doubtful about the moon effort. have come round to regarding it as tremendously need- ful. In any case. as the Christian Science Monitor says, “the contest between free society and the police state of Communism will not be won -.in outer space but in inner space- in the lives and minds of men. We . need not concede outer space to a totalitarian system which has very ‘ fiilfully focused its efforts on a flfljle target, as totalitarianism is lliveya able to do. and we need not atampeded into folly in our earth plans." As good advice as we ,:.have seen. though not as comfort- as we could wish it to be in the '3 circumstances. . A Unique Agreement , In the settlement recently reach- ‘d between the railways and the ' pg-operating ‘unions a precedent .- -‘Ila established which may have “fer,-reaching impact on the. whole. of rail disputes.~For. as A ._ ‘mnonpal Gazette points out. this new method and spirit in labor tn the railways. The conciliation board--compoa- ~ ’ '9 of the Supreme Court which these ’ able to do araport as which the chairman and one side or the other were in agreement. but where the other side presented a dissenting report. There have even been times when the chairman could find neither side to agree with him, and all three members have filed separate and different reports. Precedent after precedent of dis- agreement has largely destroyed the value that such boards might have. They became not a means of reach- ing a settlement. as much as putting disagreements upon record. They became not a. means of ending the wage disputes but only a stage in them. The disputes continued after the conciliation boards had given their divided reports. Often they ended with a strike deadline only a few days away. The government of the day might intervene and more or less enforce some sort of settlement. And a settlement made under these conditions often had little relation- ship to the economics of the case. This has meant that every sea- son of negotiation between the rail- ways and the non-operating unions became, by tradition, protracted and inconclusive, nerve-wracking and exhausting. In this sort of attune- phere prompt and frank bargaining became almost impossible; forif a realistic offer was made, it might well be feared that it would not be accepted. but would only be made the basis for some additional de-- mand. This placed the party ready to make a realistic offer in the pos- ition of victimizing itself. The fact that the parties this time were able to enter into con- ciliation proceedings and come out in unanimity places the bargaining process in a new light. Only ex- perience will prove how the new plan for setting up a fund to pay long-time employees whose jobs have been eliminated by change and to provide for their refraining where possible will work out in practice. But with intelligent goodwill and co-operation it could help the rail- fways to remold themselves and prove advantageous to all concern- ed—tl1e railways, the workers, and the pubic generally. Convenience Foods it has been found. by the Gro- cery Manufacturers of America who have conducted a survey into the matter, that the average American cats almost three tomatoes for every two consumed 15 years ago, in one form or another. He eats about twice as much cake and lots more citrus-fruit products and potatoes. The general conclusion reached in this survey was that people eat more of something when it is developed into. and successfully marketed as, a so-called convenience food. This may not be news to our food producers. but it cannot be too strongly emphasized as the key to many of their marketing problems in this hurried day and age. Take cake flour. for example. With the ad- vent of the prepared cake mix, com- bining cake flour and other ingredi- ents into a single package, consump- tion started to rise. By last year, ac- cording to the Grocery Manufactur- ers’ figures, total consumption per capita had risen 80 per cent over 1947. Tomato consumption jumped 50 per cent since the World War Two period, boosted mainly by introduc- tion of new processed tomato plants. In the case of potatoes, :1 long- time down trend in consumption was reversed by appearance on grocery shelves of handy packages of such things ‘as frozen french fries, chips. and canned potatoes, followed in re- cent years by introduction of dehy- drated potatoes in many forms. Nearly 25 per cent of the potatoes now eaten in the United States are sold as processed products. Similarly the popularity of canned and frozen citrus products has helped lift con- sumption by about 60 per cent per capita. There is no doubt. that the same trend would be shown by a survey of the Canadian marketing situation. Here in Prince. Edward lslan we are getting into the packaging and processing technique. and the pro. gross made so far is highly encouf- aging. But it is only a start. We can Picture the time, not too far dis- tant, when most of our farm pro- ducts will be handled in this man- fltlf. to the rgrcat benefit of all con- cerned. Every support this move- ment can get from' our provincial and federal governments is a boost h the right direction.

Kermode Parr lll The Fredericton Gleaner The only good advice that can lbe given to private owners of ' books who might be tempted to . lend any of them in what Punch « said a century ago to those - about to marry: Don't. The bor- l rower of your most treasured . books is probably an upright 1 and worthy character. the very ‘ soul of honesty... but he will fail to return your idol. A year i later. in the course of whlc | time a score of other friends have borrowed books, you realize that the precious one has not come back. By then you don't know who has it and you can only mark off sadly a book that meant a great deal to you and that you are quite un- able to replace. 1 Public lendlngls different. It . was once said at Sir Jesse Boot. the founder of the v e at British chain of drugstores that were known in every win a I “Boots Cash Chemists" that he had a singularly beautiful idea when he hit upon the plan of at- tractlng customers into his shops by lending them books ‘at an annual expenditure of £100,- Those libraries were remark- able. Each branch maintained a good stock of the new books, and for a subscription of what was then the equivalent of a couple of dollars a year could borrow any of em for the customary fortnight. More- a copy of a new book that you wanted to read, they would get it for you quickly and without question. Here in Fredericton a few days ago I noticed what was to me a new way to lend books. Al the foot of the steps giving ac- cess to the Public Library there were a couple of shelves of books outside. A notice invited people who might seat them- selves ln the shade there to help themselves and read while they rested. That too seemed to me a slu- gularly beautlful idea. Inside I asked one of the librarians If they lost many of the books. which had seemed an attractive collection. She said none had gone yet. but on the other hand no use had been made of the books.
