Sir Anthony h as shouldered tremendous responsibilities in recent «nnths, and has been subjected to ‘We abuse and criticism than. any l-atcsman of his time. The inter- -ntion of his government in‘ the yptian crisis was only one of sev- l major issues with which he was .crI,;1ed since he succeededvsir tom Churchill to the Premier- " ‘ May, 1955.

History, we be- ievp, will vindicate Sir Anthony 'i'Irlen's part/in this affair, unf tun- ‘misguided American interference. At any rate, this man who was Churc- ii11‘,-; chief lieutenant through the iiard years of World War Two, who jepped into the breach at the 1954 neva Conference on Far ‘East roblems when the United States declined an active role, who: was gely responsible for obtaining a Se-fire in Indochina, in settling long-standing Iranian oil dispute ‘ in ending the deadlock in , sle----this valiant British states- ?) is calling‘ it a day, and writing is to his public career.

CiAT'I"s liberalized tr a d e policies, protectionists fear that it might seal up some of the loopholes under which the United States is permitted to harden its tariff policy whenever domestic concerns complain that tariffs are too liberal. These loop- holes have been used on a number of occasions. In_ itself, perhaps, the President’s new request for action on O.T.C. might be considered a minor matter. It is important, however, in that the reception it receives in Congress will show whether the next four years will be dominated by Mr. Eisen- hower’s liberal {views or Whether the “old guard” protectionists will still be in control. It will have a political significance as well; for by and large the more voluble protectionists are also inclined to the doctrine of iso- _ lationism. . ‘ Tributes To Mn Drew The target for a great deal of criticism while he was Conservative party leader, Hon. Mr. Drew’s merits are being loudly acclaimed now that he has resigned his seat in the Fed- eral House. This is the common lot of men in public life, but there is no doubt a. good deal of sincerity in the tributes his opponents are paying to the former Opposition leader. During the most controversial periods of his career,- no one ever accused -Mr. Drew of lacking in ability or con- scientiousness. He devoted himself to his duties, and his present un- certain state of health is due largely to the demands which these duties I made upon his physique. It was hoped that Mr. Drew - wouldbe able to continue as a mem- ber of, the Commons even after'his resignation from the party leader- ship, but his medical advisors have warned him against this course, and he has wisely decided to follbw their counsel. He leaves Parliament amid the acclaim "and good wishes of his fellow members, and this is as _.it should be. Life is too short to nurse I political grudges, and there is no evidence that these e v e r counted very much with Mr. Drew in his per- sonal association with all classes. His contribution to the welfare and pro- gress of this country has been great. All our citizens will extend heartfelt good wishes to him op-this occasion. / *-’«t<lv‘-¥-7 I Fivé ‘ll-louncls “Al It happened at the Poolstock ‘Greyhound Stadium in Wigan, Eng- land,'where fast dogs chase 1 me- chanical rabbit. The bounds are vic- tims of man’s artificiality, but their natural instinct is supposed ‘to as- sert itself if given half a chance. Alas, that notion now is as dead as pre - Copernican astronomy. A - live rabbit scooted onto the Wigan track. And what did the hounds do? Kept right on gasping after the mechani- cal contraption. Only a serious Ger- man editor could spell out the impli- cations in all their enormity. Here they are from Cologne’s New Il- lustrated: » “A live little rabbit is hard real- ity. In its presence it is best to pre- tend one has not seen anything. The five hounds at Wigan simply adjust- ed themselves to bur Ersatz civiliza- tion: no responsibility, no self-re- liance, one-sided training, flight from , the real to the artificial, presenting others with something in which one does not himself believe, the sur- render of freedom so long as things run smoothly-——in fact, a dog's ex- ample of the neurosis of our time." That is quite a load for one rab- bit and five dogs. but the incident does make one think.

ONE-TRACK PERCFORMANCE? ' ‘ Colonial The year ahead is to mark great changes in the status of many of the colonial territories of the Commonwealth. In some. self-government will be realised whilst elsewhere the indigenous populations will be called upon to take part, to an increasing ex- tent. in the affairs of their home- lands. 1957 is to record the great- affairs of the wide-spread junior partners in the British way of life. Geographers and politicians, schoolchildren and '-business men alike ill have new names to learn and old one ‘to forget as the changes come into being.

A TRIBUTE TO MISS MILDRED HARRINGTON Sir. ~ The Guardian of Friday last carried the announcement that Miss Mildred Harrington, for any years senior teacher ‘in the Model School of Prince of Wales College, had resigned to accept a position as teacher and tutor in Mathematics in the High School Department of St. Mary’s Univer- sity, Halifax. N.S. For more than twenty-five years Miss Harrington gave very ex- cellent instruction to several hun- dred pupils. Our own family feels that we owe her a great debt of gratitude. Three of our sons re- ceived their elementary education in the Model School and completed their Grades VII and VIII-in Miss Harri-ngton‘s classes. They have since satisfactorily completed full college courses and they are well . aware that much of the success of their college _ work may be traced to the very thorough basic training in Mathematics‘ (Arithme- tic) and Language received in the Model School. In addition to the regular pro- considerable work in French, which in nowise interfered with their progress in the ordinary classwork. but which was later of much value in their college courses. ‘ Besides her regular classroom teaching. Miss Harrington tutored many students in Mathematics with remarkable success. Many ‘of those students maintain that they owe their success in this subject to Miss Harrington's skill- ful teaching. from Charlottetown. we take this opportunity of thanking Miss Har- rington for the great help she has been to our family. and we wish her every success in her new field of labor.

Mayor Lidstone has decided not to run again, and no prospective candidate has offered for the pos- ition. Four Council seats are to be filled. Hon- Leonard MacNeill has resigned and his brother, D.

BLANCHARD other ,~ Medically Speaking By Herman N. Bundesen. M. D- WE ALL GET SNIFFLES Got the sniffles’? Your’re not the only one! This is the worst time of the year for colds. Right now. be- Americans are catching colds every day. All told, about 40,000,- 000 persons—one fourth of our population—-have a cold in_ one stage or another this very minute. For we have more colds between early January ahd mid-February than at any other time of the year. Who catches cold? - Well, just about all of us are vulnerable. But those living in the North Central states have more than -those living anywhere else. Chicago, incidentally, has the highest “common cold" rate in the entire nation. LOW AVERAGE East Coast residents have a be- low average rate. And, those living on the Pacific Coast have the best chances of all of getting through the year with only a few sneezes. Women catch more colds than men. (I don’t mean to imply that women catch men. It’s the other way round, they tell me). Serious- ly, twice as many women as men -become cold victims each year. If you are on the stout side, you are apt to have fewer colds than your skinnier friends. While a cold is one of the most highly contagious diseases we ‘know, it’s quite possible to kiss someone with a cold and still not catch it yourself. On the other hand, merely shaking hands with a cold sufferer might give you‘ the virus.’ Once you get a. cold you'll prob- ably have the sniffles. Eighty per cent of the victims do. But you have a fairly good chance of es- caping the other miseries which sometimes go along with a runny nose. FEW DEVELOP THESE Only half of the cold sufferers develop sore throats. Even fewer -42 per cent——have a cough, and a mere 22 per cent have head- aches. ' You can build up immunity to colds, but you’ve ‘got to do it the - hard way. If you keep contracting a series of "little" colds that only cause a slight nose tickle, and, throat scratch, you can generally avoid catching-a serious cold. , Seems hardly worth the effort. does it? ’ I QUESTION AND ANSWER A S.
