Ws.TronoAv. JAN. 2:. use The Royal Tour - The sincere and dutiful good wishes of millions of her subjects throughout the Commonwealth will go with Her Majesty the Queen on her journey to Nigeria in British West Africa. Like all Royal tours, this one will be marked by much pomp and elaborate ceremony. Yet. it will be an arduous journey in many respects; for Her Majesty has expressed a desire ”to see and be seen by as many as possible of all classes of her loyal subjects." This calls for visits to remote places and participation in all sorts of events including inspection of schools, hos-' pitals, a leper colony, and a coal mine, and attendance at native fes- tivals, beside the usual garden par- ties and official banquets. Nigeria is the largest colonial territory under British control. Al- though it is not much in the news, it is a country 325,000 square miles in-area with a population of more than.32 millions. It has been under British governance since 1861, and this is the first time it has been hon- oured by a visit from the sovereign. Soon, perhaps within a year or two, it is to obtain complete indepen- dence. It will then make its own choice of staying wit-hin the Com- monwealth or going its separate way. On the whole, British colonial rule has benefited Nigeria greatly: and reports indicate that Common- wealth status will be its choice. In any event, the Queens present tour will be a great event in Nigerian history; and the warm welcome she and the Duke of Edinburgh are sure to receive will afford fresh evi- dence of the strength and unifying influence of the Crown. Oiiawa Payments Up It is encouraging to note that we shall gain something in this Province as a result of the general Industrial boom which has unfor- tunately not included agriculture. For the next fiscal year our estimat- - rd tax rental payments from Ot- tawa will be 554,150,000 as against 33,650,000 for the present year. These figures are based on national productivity and population and they are exclusive of statutory sub- sidies and reimbursements from income tax levied on gas and elec- tric companies. It is indicated also that there will be an increase in fed- Pral payments to municipalities in lieu of municipal taxes on crown property. It is doubtful if the increase which this Province will receive will meet the increased expenditures re- iuired for expanding public services. it will, however, help to brighten ihe picture forihe Provincial Treas- urer when he delivers his budget speech in the Legislziture. The big Iuestion financially lies just around the corner. The Federal estimates fieal only with arrangements under the present tax rental agreements ilt is not enough that we should rc- lain the basis of payment we now iave in the years to come. Any ad- justment on a fiscal need basis should entitle us to much more. Important Assignment Amateur radio operators in many parts of the world have a proud record of public service, a -service no less distinctive because more oft6n'tiian not it is carried out without much publicity. Wherever disaster strikes their skill and ex- perience go into action to provide temporary communications. in many their ready and cap- ; able,Iu'ist4inoe helps to keep serious ,, inconveniences. and even the hard- ships of victimo. 'to a minimum. in VWRIN calling on the outside world for aid for the stricken community." It is, therefore, fitting that an efficient organization should be set up in each region for the purpose QT co-ordinating the skills and techni- ques of amateur radio. This has now been done in this Province by the appointment of Mr. W. Stewart Smith as Emergency Co-oidinaton Mr. Smith's assignment is. indeed. an important one. He will Call IOCBI meetings of amateurs and. among other things, arfallge 1'CgUI31' dim periods will be mobilized to meet emergency conditions. He will also co-operate with the Red Cross and other relief agencies. Thorough planning is necessary to the success of any undertaking: and it can be expected that Mr. Smith and his fellow operators will do the job well. To this end they need and deserve the utmost public support. A Commendable Appeal of all the appeals to public gen- erosily-and good sense-made dur- ing the year, none is more com- mendable than the March of Dimes campaign now under way. It may be added that none is more necessary, even though the disease at which it is aimed has been brought 'under a measure of control by the Salk vac- cine. There ls much to be done, much research to be carried out, and many improvements to be made in the vaccine now available, before mankind can be freed from the scourge of poliomyelitis. Indeed, the progress made so far, made pos- sible in a large measure by succes- sive March of Dimes collections, is the best possible incentive for even greater efforts. it is to be noted that, in the fight against polio, medical research. while of first importance, is not by any means the only purpose for which funds are needed. There is the matter of rehabilitation which, thanks to advances made in the so- cial science, ls no longer a hit or miss affair, but something which calls for highly specialized aid in restoring patients to normal social and economic status. Sometimes this takes months and even years. Then. there is the matter of seeking out polio patients of other years when treatment was not as helpful as it is today, and helping them to a more cheerful and more useful life. There are scores of other projects that are going on all the time. They all re- quire a lot of money, although their value to public health cannot be reckoned in financial terms. This year, as in the past, our citizens can be counted on to support this worthy undertaking to the limit of their means. EDITORIAL NOTES A speaker in Parliament has called attention to the fact that there was no official ceremony at Vimy Ridge on Remembrance Day, November 1l.It is a matter, he said, that should be looked into. We think that all our citizens will agree with him. 0 n n , Lest anyone should get the idea that the United States Seventh Fleet is no longer interested in what goes on in the Formosa Straits, its com- mander, Vice Admiral Stuart Inger- soll says "in the event of a Commun- ist attack (on Formosa) I will hit back with everything I have, and I don't intend to lose." 0 O I "Heaven and Hell" is l.Iie title of a book by Dr. John sutlierland Bonncll, eminent nat-ivc Islander. and pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, New York.

SNOW PLOW SERVICE Sir,-if the Minister of High- ways or the local plow dispatcher or either one of the members for the district can tell us why the section of the main Western Road from Elmsdale Corner to the paved highway at the Smith Road. and also the Dock Road from Elms dale to Roseville, are not plowed for two to three weeks at a time we would be satisfied. ' There is a tractor plow stationed at Elmsdale that has been work- ing on the byroads up and around Tignisli for the last two or three days along with the plow that is stationed there. while these other important sections of road are left. Several years ago when there was one tractor plow in operation in this area with Charlie MacMill- an. the operator, there were more roads kept open regardless of the nmount of snow there was than the three plows that are working or supposed to be working. in this section of West Prince. Now that the telephone system is out due to the recent severe storm, there is all the more reason why the roads should be open in case of'slckness. accident. fire. etc. Where the fault lies is nnybody's guess but the Department of High- ways should certainly look into the matter and see that the plows are out in the morning before noon and stay out until they have their day in. instead of waiting around all the forenoon until they get orders from the dispatcher before they know what they are supposed to do.

TO THE ELECTORS OF WARD FIVE - It is my intention to nominate for in Word Five at the forthcoming Civic Election on lich- the community and business life of Charlottetown - my lengthy experience in consideration and support Massey And The Copper Kettle Cnnndlnn Pltcss, Ottawa accepted as her gift to the Queen. LONG HISTORY The kettle had a long history. It was given to UdIurlnk's mother years ago by reindeer herders from Lapland, in northern Sonn- dinavia. . The Laplanders had been brought into the Cape Dorset re gion to caie for a herd of reindeer which the Canadian government hoped could be introduced into the eastern Arctic. The reindeer were killed or died and the Lapp herd- era survived starvation only through the kindness of the Eski- mos. When the lierders left they gave Udluriak's mother the copper ket- tie. Mr. Massey conceived the idea of presenting the council with I mace about a year ago. He asked James Houston. Arctic expert with the northern affairs department, to direct construction of the mace by Eskimo craftsmen. COPPER SHAPED Nine craftsmen worked day and night last summer fashioning the 35-pound mace from narwhal tusk, whalebone. muskox horns, the wood of a wrecked ship. the gold of Yellowknife, a harpoon. porcu- pine quills and copper from the shores of the Arctic ocean. The work went ahead smoothly until P” ' ' chief cr " bo- gan forming the arches of the mace: copper crown. He worked carefully pounding strips of native copper on a stone mold, but the metal was brittle and snapped. Time began to run out. Mr Hou- ston feared the crown would not be ompieted before he left for Oi- tawa. However, Udlurlak. daughter of Pltsulok. came forward with her prized possession 'he ancient cop oer kettle she had inherited from her mother. HAS LTD The governor-general heard of the Eskimo womanis contribution to the mice from Mr. Houston and decided to "end her an new kettle. Mr. Houston found one in on Of- tawa department store. Udluriak is bound to be de- lighted with her new kettle be- cause it has a lid. The lid of the one she Izave for the mace was lost years ago.

But permitting him to remain up even an extra 15 minutes at night often makes it that much more difficult to get him up in the morn ing. . If he is tired, nervous or irri- table by mid-morning, it is usually a pretty good indication that he should get to bed earlier QUIET RELAXATION Do not yank a youngster away from the television set and send him scurrying off to bed. Before going to sleep he should have a period of quiet relaxation, even if it is only l5 minutes or so Maybe you can mad to him or even tell him a bedtime story. RI- peaiing an old familiar story will be better than recounting some new exciting blood and thunder epic. And make sure that any home- work he might have is completed long before he turns in for the night. QUESTION AND ANSWER C. 'i'.: What is the cause of a burning tongue and can this con- dition be remedied? Answer: Burning of the tongue is usually due to infection. Some times a burning of the tongue oc- curs in individuals between 40 and 60 years old. X-ray treatments of the tongue relieve this condition in some cases. Examination of the mouth and nose should be made to determine just what disorders are present, then proper treatment can be given. SANDSTORM CLOSES SUEZ PORT SAID.
