Most encouraging reports were received at the annual meeting of the Prince Edward island Tuberculosis League. With more than twenty times the number of persons being X-raycd, less than a fifth as many cases are being uncovered as in 1925. Thanks for this fortunate state of affairs is due to attacks on the problem from many angles. The housewife and mother is far nore conscious of nutritional requirements than she was cvcn a few years ago. The :-anipaigils for discovering cases of T. B. RlIlOil'.',SiZ the various sections of the popula- tion llavc steadily increased in intensity and a better understanding of treatment and post-treatment care have paid wonder- ful dividends. The battle has not been won, however, although the enemy is in retreat. The younger generation are those in peril but today the figures indicate that a substan- tial proportion of cases, 34.8 per cent, are amongst those over forty who have been examined. That proportion is no doubt even higher in the total population because until the present time the emphasis has been on testing young people. As pointed out by Dr. G. J. Wherrett, executive secretary of the Canadian Tuber- culosis Association, although one-third of all deaths from T.B. are in people over 50, only a small proportion of that group are turning out for tests and every effort ahould be made to have them attend. The danger of having unsuspected cases of T. B. within the family circle, or business circle either, is serious and -older people have a 'luty to the youngster with whom they are n contact to make sure that they are not passing on the disease. FRIDAY. OCT. 30. 1953 Public Taste ' It is the common experience. of writers, artists and other toilers to please their fel- low man that it is the little thing whiclil they despised that takes the popular fancy: Their ”magnum opus" may remain in ob- livion and the disappointment attain wide popularity. lhinkers and writers have a very low opin- ion of the value of their own w Many of the most profound duce. And even the dewworm is being bred commercially for the bait cans of anglers. The Finns reason that there is no reason why the ant should object to serving a use- ful purpose as well. Most of the ant eggs go to Great Brit- ain. The people there may have some diffi- culty in keeping beef on their own tables but they never serve their pets short. But almost nobody in Finland buys ant eggs. It is an exclusive export industry which is handled by an organization called, quite seriously, Muurahaistenmunainviejain Yhdi- stys. But more power to the Films. They have turned the ant into a valuable little creature. One person can gather about twenty pounds of eggs a day for which he obtains about 381.50, a formidable sum in Finland. i Hero of The ii. if. Three rousing cheers for U.

He has. comments the Montreal Star, gone on this assumption in his at- tendance at U. N. meetings, only to find that his fellow-delegates come dribbling in over the next 13 to 40 minutes. Now he has suggested. in most polite and diplo- matic terms, that punctuality is something which the builders of world peace might practice to advantage. And not only the peace-makers. The idea might penetrate elsewhere to advan- tage. The idea, we know, is unpopular. Mk as islnumber of ”The Canadian Doctor". idown the aisle at 8:40. Most people prefer greater elasticity.

If they should get up at 7:30, they believe 7:50 will leave them time enough to gulp their coffee and be off. All of them might profit from the ex- ample of U. Myint Thein who, we regret to say. has wasted more of his time being punctual than any man we have ever heard of. EDITORIAL NOTES The co-designer of Britain's first gas- oline-powered motor car was hauled into court the other day for refusing to pay his , local taxes because he is bothered by traf- ific congestion in his street. The magistrate listened with sympathy, bpt. ordered that taxes be paid nevertheless. It could be a case of poetic justice. O I i Canada's oldest practicing physician, lDr. Roderick J. McDonald of St. Peters Bay, has received a write-up in the October The delightfully but truly illustrated by Bennett 96fyear'01d physicia” was h0”0””3d by the Cerf. in his column in the Saturday Review. He. tells of an 18th century Italian phil- osopher who was humbly doubtful if any- one would read his work after his death. An earnest young student found a folio ofl his work in the Vatican Library alid began, I doggedly, to study it. When he was well into the musty pages, he found a note saying, is advised to go to the Probate Court, and l "(fr av I mixed with natural rubber, have also been 1,! laid in Quebec and Newfoundland and parts Look up File 162, R.i.;lRome, February lTS4." The note was signed by the phi osophcr. The student went. to the c.ourt to find that hc, as the first. person since 1784 to road that far into the folio, had inherited all the philosopher's fortune, which now amounted to some iZ300,000. Like most philosophers in a similar posi- tion, the student is now on the Riviera, reading nothing heavier than La Vie Parisicnlic. But there is a rush on 18th century philosophers in the Vatican Li- brary. The ionic in which the note was found will probably never be opened again. Such is dependence on the tastes of posterity. Ant Eggs For Sale In Finland there is an exclusive export- association of only ten members which, ac- cording to an official publication from the Baltic country, is exploiting millions of workers to such an" extent that not only is -the industry immune from strikes and de- mands for higher wages but it doesn't have to pay the workers at all. Rather face- tiously. the article explains, as quoted in the Saint John Telegraph-Journal, that the workers are ants. whose eggs are taken and shipped abroad at the rate of as much as 100,000 pounds a year. The eggs are used as food for pet birds and fish. At first thought it seems preposterous that these little picnic pests could have any commercial value. But it is not at all un- common for man to exploit the energies of the insect world. He uses the praying fmantis and bushels of lady bugs for scien- tific utperlimnts. He enclaves the silk more remuneration than ii i loaves. He demands from g, PP!'ib'Z 219'.

He had a distinguished early career in the Navy. He was elected to Parliament and endeavoured to reform the Admiralty. Later on a false charge of fraud he was expelled from both the Navy and Parliament. He commanded the Chilian navy in the war of independence and also fought for Brazil and Greece. Finally he was reinstated in the Royal Navy and became an admiral. Captain Savage in Marryat's "Peter Simple" is gen- erally conceded to be based on Lord Dun- donald. O The United States Navy is testing and developing the hydrofoil boat. This strange looking craft has a series of foils arranged beneath the hull on which it will ride up out of the water at high speed. It is nothing new, however, as the Navy free- ly admits. It was one of the scientific de- velopments of Alexander Graham Bell, and his associate, Frederick W. Baldwin. A speed of 70.86 miles an hour was attain- ed over the Bras d'Or lakes in 1919 in one of the early models. It was left to this age of speed, however, to develop a work so brilliantly begun, and whose possibilities If a conceit iflnd relief from 1 i .Tl-IE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN l s Another Health-Giving Dish o The 700-mile train journey from Bombay to Mysore was, I consid- er, the most. interesting and event- ful two days of my life. Never be- fore or since have I seen so much entirely new- and varied at one time nor remained so utterly ab- sorbed and taken aback h.V the sights unfolding every second in the kaleidoscoplc pattern which makes up the Indian countryside. At the time of our travel the mon- soon had not yet ended the hot dry season in which every avail- able drop of moisture is absorbed lleaving n parched earth and an luncomfortahle people. The general picture was in no mean terms shocking. u Indian poverty in the country- side as well as in the city is some- thing one has to see to believe. All signs of vegetation gone, there is no color to offset the terrible drabness and dirt of the bunched- up villages. Seeing it for the first. time, one is bewildered to find ragged children playing on a dried-up dung heap where refuse is still thrown. to find the soil as hard as tile and with large cracks running net-lfke, to find farm ani- mals grazing on tinder-dry spears still standing along the dykes of rice paddies. If one can forget for I! moment the idmperaiilre, the odor which comes with any gath- ering of the. Indian masses, and the human misery, there is beauty regardless of its morbid poftrayal. Picture a lean cow standing lazily with an ugly ravcn perched upon her back, a farmer with a crude tool hacking chunks of cart h wherewith to build higher his paddy-dykcs and conserve the monsoon blessing or jet: ii grace- ful village lady balancing a jar Atop her head as she carries water from the village well.

Their false nasal tones and quaint. chants lire never forgotten by any visitor to India. Cleanliness is not point in question as far as they are concerned as they mill through the crowd balancing on their heads open containers free to the tlust. and flies. Tea cups for in- stance are washed on the spit- covered platform by splashing cold 2 water on them.

As soon as I train steps they come from everywhere at once: blind adults led by chil- dren. cripples on all fours, a moth- er and starving child, a father lcacling II horrible-looking mal- formed child, and unkempt, hun- gry orphans. They must get results quickly or a railway employee will soon come and beat them away. When first a crying sore-infest: ed cripple. stood in the door-way pointing first to his stomach. to his head and then sky-ward, I just stared and gulped. However one soon learns that in begging as in other human activities, there are people to take advantage of you. Among other means, chil- dren are purposely malformed by cruel parents so as to evoke pity from unsuspecting visitors. More wary of being taken in. it til nevertheless almost impossible ito refuse the crippled and sick. ,smull children and mothers.

Considering the en- vironment, the childish luxury of ,hc-ing able, to complain about food 'is certainly not stylish here. One. valuable thing I have learned since leaving home soil, is, that the best food neuter tastes so for- rihle as when eaten within the helping distance of hungry cries and scrawny outstretched hands.
