A persistent endeavour is being lllildtli .ll some quarters to belittle dairy farming, -ind to demand a return to beef cattle rais- ing as our mainstay. The argument is far from logical, namely. the competitioni for butter is increasing, while the presept' price of beef cattle brings more profit tlianl locs butter production. and does not entail: the long hours seven days a week in milk-l ing cows. But when beef cattle are soldl, that is the end of the story. With milk cat-i llc the farmer ”sclls" the cow and keeps it as well. We are told that the cost. of im-1 ported feed has gone up beyond all iieasoiidavoid a slightly careless attitude towards. l but does not the same apply to well fin-. ished beef cattle? What should be urgedl in the interest of good farming is an im-E provcment of methods, as Dr. Ii. L. Bcrard. director of St. Hyacinthe Dairy School told the society of Purebred Livestockj Breeders last week-end. He urged them, to "audit" the milk output of their cons to find out which are "peiisioncrs" instead of "producers." He made other recommendations to bring down production costs. selectivcf herds, and improved feeding methods for more uniform milk output all year. 1 He claimed the old belief that only the! fat content of milk has nutritive value is: false. It was now known that fluid milkl has high nutritive value. and he urged farmers to centre attention on it. ' He admitted something will have to be in Britain reached a total of 3,906,000- port mainly from the middle-of-the-road. fi- nancihlly well-heeled A.

Trade unionists in diplomatic pinstripes can whip up a witches' brew of international politics in exceptionally short order. The muddling ineptitude of Britain's late but un- lamented Foreign Secretary Herbert Mor- rison offers convincing evidence on that point. A good many sensible workerslbe- lieve that trade unionism's top brass would be much more nearly worth their five fig- ure salaries if they left diplomacy to the diplomats and paid more attention to such mundane matters as wages and hours.

I Asleep lit The Wheel Four men were killed recently when an Ontario car driver seemingly went to sleep at the wheel. Many other accidents. of greater or less seriousness, may be tracerl to the same cause. The driver may not he actually asleep but his attention becomes steadily less sharply focused until it is im- possible for him to notice and react tot sudden danger. l i Improved roads. with fewer hairpin; bends. and smooth-riding cars seem to have a hypnotic effect on many drivers and they require conscious effort of the will to keep their faculties properly alert. vln part the danger can be met by avoid- ing being: over-tired when taking charge of a car and also by taking some kind of fair- ly frequent break when driving long dis- tances, even though tiredness does not seem an immediate problem. Mess in Middle East The political troulilc pot in the Middlcl East has been boiling merrily in places other than along the Nile. The French colony of Tunisia has lately experienced a bout of violence allegedly spearheaded by Tunisian nationalists tired of the rule of Paris-appointed bureaucrats and politicians. Nationalist leader Habib Bourguiba, strange- ly enough, has the support of the powerful American Federation of Labour. whose lead- ers seem to believe that workers in the French colonies get pushed around more than they ought to be. Morocco, too, is suffering from national- ist aspirations and the ring-leaders there as in Tunisia are getting a lot of moral support and some dollars as well from the American Federation of Labour. It is no secret in Washington that the reason the "get tough with Monsndeg ” policy in Iran was Iquelched was because certain U.

But why limit it to one year instead of five as previously '? 0 To- many people it must come as it surprise that there are model aircraft clubs both in Summerside and in the capital. Such organizations are most valuable as a preliminary to employment in the aircraft industry and as a means of cre- iating enthusiasm for all things aeronaut- tical. General regret. will be felt at the an- nouncement of the sudden deaths of two such well-known clergymen as Rev. Neil Herman and Father' J. A. Cloran. C.Ss.R. Though neither was in regular parish work here recently, they both were well and favourably known. and had large circles of friends and adniircrs. O 0 The case of the Queen vs. the London Times was to have come up at the Old Bailey this morning. One thing which should come out of it is a more exact def- -inition of what is or is not an expense in- curred for the purpose of influencing an election. More important is the public re- action tn such legislative restraints on free speech. I Reciprocity. Over the past four years more than 2,00() sick, mutilated or orphaned school children from five European coun- tries have received free hospitality in the homes of British people. Conversely, near- ly 2.000 children from the U. K. in need of sun and a holiday have been received with equal generosity into private homes in oth- er countries. 0 O Madame Patti, Italian singer. was born this date 1843 at Madrid. She made her New York debut as Lucia in 1859 and two years later took London by storm, with the exquisite clearness and beauty of her voice. She made her hdme in Paris but remained a London favorite for many years. Some of her famous roles were those from "Puritani", "Norma", "Lucia di Lammermoor" and "'i'raviata."

Neverthe- less. there are still upwards of 75 million British subjects who live in territories administered through the Colonial Office in London.
