This is the point: made by, City Councillor A. Walthen. Gautiet,’i who ls also secretary of the Island divi- sion of the Fisheries Council of Canada, in announcing that. arrange- ments are being made to have the national convention of the organiza- * .tion held here in that year. He is right in saying that conventions of this sort play a very important part in the success of civic or provincial celebrations, and that no time should be lost in lining up conventions of other organizations. As chairman 1’ of Charlottetown’s 1935 Centennial committee,‘ Mr. Gaudet says, “We were fortunate enough to attract 46 groups here. during our civic centenary, but we started our solicitations too late.” We should, he believes, have no fewer than 100 conventions here in 1964. That 'means a tremendous amount. of planning, which must be geared locally to the plans of 'diverse organiZations across Canada to in- sure‘success. The National Fisheries Council, for example, will have 400 delegates here for its 1964 conven- tion, and the entire facilities of the Charlottetown Hotel have been book- ed for three days. Mr. Gaudet also notes that the City of Ottawa al- ready has a committee at work on celebrations planned [for 1967. We heartily endorse his argument that no further time should be lost in our case, if we are to make the 1964 celebration the success we all want it to be. ' . The Labouriles . Judging by reports coming out of Scarborough, England, the, big task is not how to oppose the’Conserva- and abroad but, how to promote m semblance of unity 'amOng themselves. ' I . - The party is badly divided. On. the one side are the moderates, who might almost be called the official. party leader. On the other side is an assortment of left~ wingers in various stages of intran- sigence who do not even agree among themselves on what it is they inihe event of its attaining power in the next election. To make the situation even more uncomfortable for them, the conviction of a few months ago that victory was just around the corner is no longer with them. Public opinion polls, for what they are worth, show that the Con- . servatives are regaining much of the popularity theylost a year or so ago. This, undestandably, is hard on the Labourites. ‘ " \ But perhaps the chief trouble with the Labourites is that they are no longer men with a crusading mis- sion. In the main, the welfare state, for Which they campaigned vigorously in the past, 'i‘s‘just as safe under the Conservatives as. under the Labour Partymperhaps more so, because it» is not subjected to the various strains and divisions that seem to feature Labour policy. About all they can do now is to oppose the Government on foreign policy issues; and this seems to have lost its for- mer drive, simply because the Government's foreign policy appears to have fairly general support. Even Mr. Uaitskell himself is wary about attacking it except in vague gene- ralities. As for Mr. Aneurin Bevan, the once fiery left-winger, since he left his position of radicalism and made common cause with the mode- rates, his voice has somehow lost its I power to attract. “We’re too damned dull". proclaimed a headline in “For- ward” one of the party’s periodicals; and that just about sums it up. The Laboixrites still have a chance to win the next election. But WP may be sure that; Mr. Macmillan and his Conservative colleagues are chuckling to themselves about the confusions and divisions that were apparent at Scarborough. five Government’s. policies Hatfihorne ‘r confronting Britain’s Labour . “Liberal , Conservatives", ,led by Mr. Gaitskell, ' \expect a Labour Government to do I SO, Honour To A Bug The first monument erected to a huguan immigrant bug at that—~- has been put up in Eureka, Cali~ fornia. The bug, known as the Klamath Beetle, is a native of Australia. It was brought to California in 1944 as a last-resort measure after hun- dreds of thousands of dollars had been spent in unsuccessful attempts to control a destructive weed that made its appearance in 1912 and ex-' panded its operations all over Cali- fornia and in parts of Oregon. At the height of the posts ravages, land ,was worth no more than two the imported beetle, it is now worth as much as $1,000 an acre. ‘ The bug’s value was first dis- covered by a professor at the Uni- versity of California while on a trip to Australia in 1931. For nearly 13 years the Department of Agriculture hesitated to allow the bug entry into the United States, for fear'that it Would destroy other vegetation besides weeds. Finally, however, it was decided to grant it a “tempor- ary passport”: and after experi— " - ments had showed that. it wanted nothing but that particular weed thousands of them were released in the infected areas. Within a short period, the Weed disappeared. The historian Arnold J. Toyn— bee once speculated that if and when the human race is eliminated from the earth, by means of the hydrogen bomb or some such lethal plaything, some of the more “advanced” insects might begin their “reign on earth”. Should that time come, no doubt the Klamath Beetle will be "given a place of authority and influence. And, if the Eureka monument is still in existence, somehow having escaped the general destruction, we can imagine groups. of Klamaths gather. ing around it and thinking to them- selves that man must have had his good points after all.

It must be that. there is some expectation of a Conscr- vative victory at the next election.

One thing seems certain: there will be a real fight when the election is called. a as s Former 'l‘ransport. George Marler thinks that another general election will be held in the Spring of 1962, provided, of course, no emergency arises to make an can lier appeal necessary or advisable. It is a reasonable assumption. Mr. Marler's advice to Liberals not to be discouraged by recent Conservative victories should be heeded. The Liberal Party still has an important place in Canadian politics.

'i'leKO‘N: This city is the first sad civic ex- ample in all n ur ever-grow- ing country of the old saying about “shirt-sleeves to shirt—sleek es in three generations." In 1896, this townsite was an uninhabited mud flat. It. had been formed by silt carried down from‘ the watersth of. the Klondike River to its junction with the mighty Yukon River. Three years later. a devil may- care boomztown of costly false- fronted wooden buildings was home or headquarters to 50.000 gold-miners and their camp-fol- lowers. - Within five years, it had slip— ped out of the wbrld's headlines, and was almost emptied. No less‘ than 10,000 gold-seekers. slipped away in one not~so~secret night flit when gold was reported in Alaska. ‘ - , . Today 800 Caucasians. Indian; and “Breeds call this home. liv—1 .ing on colourful memories and well~6ounded hopes, The gaudy dancehalls and the riotous saloons of ’98 have mostly been re‘egat- ed to the pages of books, while a few preposterous old grey wood- en edifices totter tiapsily'on the melted permafrost as museum pieces. N0 GHOST TOWN Nothing madden-s the modern Dawsonite more than to hear his city called a ghost. town. Bu I, they like to crack the joke that fewer, people now sleep in their THE ECONOMI HALTH CLUB city than in the overgrown cem— eteries. on the sceru'c "Dome" of Moosehide Mountain towering a- bove their tin rooftops. Two hundred mill-ion dollars in gold is said to have been taken out of the creeks of the Klondike. Each year mighty mechanical dredges recover a further two million dollars’ worth as they give the golden creeks their third Working o v e r. After tooth-comb- ing the gold, the American suver dollars. false teeth, pocket kniv— es and other treasures overlook- ed or mislaid by the original hand-pan miners, those dredges leave the, grey sand and gravel of the creek beds looking like coils of obscene intestines to the aerial viewer. And still the optimists - or are they the realists? - assert that the mother-lode of the Yukon has yet to be found. Minerals will surely bring wealth to Daw- son City or the surrounding Yuk- on once more. But the living le- gend of the world’s most fabulous gold stampede is nearly past. The last saloon. the once plush and gaudy “Red Feather,” is now a closed .used—machine shop.

GREAT MEN or '93 The storied characters of '98 are either memories or mascots to the younger enthusiastic and business like Dawsonites. Some who still live here give colour to the local scene. “Jerusalem Joe." who first came from his Middle East birth— place 17 days before Prime Minis ter .Diefenbaker was born, still lives in his old cabin and cuts brush ahead of the dredge. Ru- manian‘born “Black Mike” Wen- age goes out to his cabin on the creeks each summer, where he 15 cared for and coode for by "‘Zume." whose ring-finger, folk- lore says, was once the stake in a crap game in her youthful days of allure. “Solomon Albert” is now handicapped by the loss of both feet to frostbite on the trail. “Holstove Douglas” finds a ready audience around it still. AM Alex Adams talks about the lavish- spendlng miners whom he help- ed to entertain in his stage-danc- ing days. This is the city which seven years ago was replaced by Shite- horse as capital of the Yukon. It has the misfortune to be sited at a geographic dead end, and at a prospecting dead end which is perhaps temporary. Dawsonib es, with the optimism of its gold- mining youth. are confident that. other mineral riches will be found nearby. They probably be. Now, There’s A Car . ‘Sudbury Daily Star On one knew where it was go- ing to go, and least of all. Henry Ford, when the first Model '1' Ford was introduced to the pub lie on October 1, 1908. Over the next 19 years some 15.000,000 Tin. Lizzies rolled off the assembly lines. At one time they rolled off at the rate of 16 every 10 min. utes. Fifty years later an esti- mated 85.000 Model Ts are still on the road. 1 ' _ Never has a machine caught the public fancy to the extent of the Model T Ford, When the Model A came out in 1926 it was not long before the song-writ 's launched “Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie." Imagine a pop) ular song bases on a mechamcal horse! There are those who will swear by the Model T as a car ,in a class by itself in simple construc- tion. easy repair and long life. There are those who swear at it. 1 They are the ones who received a nasty arm - breaking “kick” from the crank when the “spark” was not properly, set. The operation was in set the shark. open the throttle, pull out the choke. crank the motor with. a handle and when it "caught" race around to the steering wheel and adjust the controls to keep it from flooding. Amateurs made an improvement. by running a wire through to the radiator which permitted them to choke while cranking. It was a big day, indeed, when the automatic stab ter was introduced. “GOOD” ROAD A “good” road in the days of the Model '1‘ was nlw that was not under water and where the ruts were not so deep that they _rubbed the underbody of the car. Wooden fences were still very much in evidence in rural areas and fence railsn were handy to bridge the mudholes. The wise farmer introducing wire fences to his farm built them around his side fields. Many roadsise wire fences disappeared in places as Model Ts broke down. “Give me a pair of wire cutters and a hammer and ill make her run." was the proud boast of most. Model T mvners. That was the'age when mo» tnrists and passengers frequently mental. and inclined to change her mind about whether she would or would not go. But a lady. nevertheless. When Lizzie made her debut. she was adorned with a brass- fronted radiator. In 1917 the brass front was replaced with black iron. She was the pet of the farm— ers because of her accomplish- ments. She could carry a pig to market. or by jacking up the back and lalcing off a wheel be equipped with,a pulley to run a buzz saw or feed-chopping ma- chine. It was even reported at one time. that a farmer rigged up his wife’s washing machine so that Lizzie could do the washing on Mondays. POPULARITY ATTE'STED The popularity of the Model T is attested by the statistics. From the North American continent were Ford models. The industry was built on the philosophy of Henry Ford who said he wanted a car the working man could af— ford and drive. In the United States the Model T sold for $290. \A'ilhout Canada the price was $395. In 1913 the out- put was 12.319 cars and two years later it had jumped to 28.867. An estimated 755.000 Liz- zies gosspied their way around the (‘anadlan landscape. Fifty years is a lone time in the life of either man or ma- chine. That 85,000 Lizzies should still be on the road is a. tribute to the men who designed and built them. On her 50th anniv— ersary u is fitting Ihat the. old lady should be remembered, ‘ MAXlMS 1 add this also. that natural ability without. education has 09 tenor raised man to glory and virtue. than education without na- tural ability.

Xurays readily reveal their Ne- sence. Gallstones are commsed of cholesterol. bile salts and ms- ments. Their size, color and num- ber varies considerably from pa- tient to patient, SEVERAL CAUSES , It is believed they are caused chiefly by an injury or infection in the wall of the gall bladder 0r bile duct. A slowdown in the flow of bile airing the ducts and disturbances in, the cholesterol concentration also cause gall - stones to form. Very probably Overeating -— one or our really bad habits — often plays a ma- jor role in formation of these troublesome stones. The stones can produce r great deal of pain or none at all. It depends primarily upon their lo- cation. Gallstones, yousee, are rot always found in the (all bl*i-der. They sometimes are found in the common bile duct, in the cystic duct—the one which, connects the gall bladder and the common bile duct, at the junction of the common bile duct and the duod- enum ~- and in the ducts within the. liver. The stones which remain in the gall bladder generally produce no pain unless they form an obstruc- tion and cause cramps. USual symptom of this type of gall- stone trouble is a fullness in the pit of the stomach after eating pork. cabbage and fried foods. SEVERE PAIN When the gallstone or stones move along the bile passages, an attack of biliary colic generally results. This pain can be terri- fically severe. Patients describe it as knife-like It usually occurs along the lower border of the right ribs. the back and then up to the right shoulder blade. An attack may ‘asl as ,long as several hours. Each one is enough to make a person double up in agony. These attacks most often ocour at night. several hours after eating a heavy meal. QUESTION AND ANSWER. T. K.
