Edmond Rochcw professor of mathematics at St. Dunstan's. College, on his important itinerary to I number of Canadian and American cities for the purpose of conferring with various. alumni groups concerning plans foi the Cen-'1 tennial celebrations later this year. Profes-, ior Roche takes with him films and liter- ature dealing with our Island economy and .-ulture as well as an understanding of thel island's resources and needs; he thus be- comes a goodwill ambassador for his nativej Province as well as an able spokesman for, his Alma Mater. , Former pupils of St. Dunstan's. whetheri they live in Matanc, P.Q. or in New York. N.Y., already are well aware of the speciall attractions of this part of the world. Fory them the professor's visit will provide op-p portunities for glad reminiscing rither than; for the dissemination of information. There: will be many others, however. within thew hearing and influence of the alumni. group;-i who will have the pleasure of hearing for. the first time something of the Island story. We have no doubt that Professor Roche willl tell the story wed. Facing The Future t President Eisenhower has promised to use every legitimate means to sustain American prosperity. an assurance that will be welcomed by economists and others: In all the free world. A great deal more is' known about economic cycles today than in 1929 and there are a great many things that governments can do to nip 3 depres-, sion in the bud before the vicious circle of; cut-backs can really get. under way. l At the end of the Second World War there was a general expectation of hard; times. an expectation that fortun-.itely w"-is; not realized. Instead there. has been a rapid expansion of all economies, that of this; country leading. The strength of the econ-, omic structure at that time lay in a com-; bination of war-time savings and a long- unfilled demand for products of every kind. Today savings are at a higher level thant ever. Housing is as far from being up to, requirements as ever and potential con-, sumption is as always limited only by the: vigour with which manufacturers let thel .ers and to beneficiaries during the past- ltaken advantage of the prosperity of the based on experience as chief of the ultra- secret U. S. atomic energy program, has said the Eisenhower atom pool could be started within six or eight months. Cer- tainly by next mid-summer, it should be clear whether or not the Russians are ready to join. Meanwhile, with atomic power virtually within reach in Canada and with every sign pointing to Ontario as scene of the first major commercial de- velopment. the Eisenhower plan offers the world a new opportunity of international co-operation. Insurance liecrii Set One of the most remarkable features of. Canadian business during 1953 was the; amount of life insurance taken out by Cana-t dians. This is seen in the figures presented, in the year-end statement of the Canadian. Life Insurance Officers Association. l During the year Canadians put in force! additional assurance of their lives amount-l ing to 522.5 billions, raising the total of lifel insurance owned by Canadians to 3520.5 bil-l, lions. This figure is impressive enough in itself. But it is even more so when com- parisons are made. It is more than double the amount in force at the close of the Sec- ond World War. Other comparisons are equally striking. The aggregate benefits paid to policyhold- year exceed the total Canadian premium income of all companies doing business in Canada in 1943 by approximately eight per cent. It is evident from these figures, notes the Montreal Gazette, that Canadians have last few years to invest a very large pro- portion of their savings in life insurance. This has certainly been of advantage in stabilizing the economic position of the in- dividuals and families concerned. But of wider importance, it has released very large sums for investment in housing and other constructive efforts, through the use made by the insurance companies of the funds entrusted to them. This benefit will be felt for many years to come. EDITORIAL N01 ES It is reported that the code name for a military operation to be carried out near Seven Islands is "Loup Garou" or werewolf.

Grin. and a. dagger recently found on I 30-ton monolith at Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain, are inclining Bri- tish archaeologists toward the view tihst the greatest pro-Christian sanctuary in Europe was built: by an ancient Myccnaean from the Eastern Mediterranean area.

Eastern Trust Building cot Whether President Eiscnhoi-er's plan for international co-operation in develop- ing atomic power comes to anything, says the Toronto Telegram, there can be no doubt that individu.'il nations will tap this new source of energy for their own needs within the next few years. The Ontario! Hydro has become partner of tne federal crown company, Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd.. for the purpose of building a reactor. Hydro's need is to have atomic power available by .1961! at least, for then water power and natural gas installations will not be enough. . The iniprcssion is abroad that the Canadian atomic energy team. which hasl been operating a nuclear reactor at Chalk River for seven years now, could design and install a commercial atomic plant long before 1960, if need be. Atomic power, it seems, is still too expensive and one aim of the new research partnership is to find ways to cut costs. ' The whole field of atomic co-operation was discussed exhaustively by the United Nations, which has had a commission studying the American proposal, or so-cal- led Baruch Plait, for several years. The Baruch Plan proposed international owner- ship of fissionable materials and foolproof inspection procedure, so there could be no surprise atomic war in future. The Rus- sians talked this plan to death or, as David Lilienthal said, they dealt it out "death-by- negotiation." The Russians, argues our Toronto con- temporary, are not essential to the Eisen- hower pian.
