A Magnanimous Gesture

Mr. Clement Attlee, leader of Britain's Labor Party, has given further evidence of his high political principles by persuading the partyls executive committee to go slowly in the proposed expulsion of Mr. Eneurin Bevan. Mr. Attlee's magnanimous gesture was prompted, in PETE by P9130981 considerations. The less disunity there is among party supporters, the brighter the prospects will be for all concerned when voting time comes round; and it is only nat- ural that Mr. Attlee would l-ike another term as Prime Minister. But there is more than that to it. Mr. Attlee is Well aware of Mr. Bevan's popularity among the rank and file mem-bership of many of the unions; he knows, too, that expulsion for Mr. Bevan would mean voluntary isolation from the party of many of his friends and supporters, some of whom are among the party's most experienced parliamentarians- This, almost certainly, would mean event- ually the breaking up of Labor's tradition- al solidarity into splinter groups, with con- sequent loss of national prestige, which Mr. Attlee has done so much to build. Perhaps another consideration that helped along the "another chance; proposal is Mr. Attlee's recognition of Mr. Bevan's outstanding tal- ents and his hope that a way may yet be found for these talents to be used in the country's service.

Not that Mr. Attlee's magnanimity is likely to produce the hoped for result. It seems hardly credible that Mr. Bevan will consent to apologize for past actions, let alone promise to behave himself with due decorum and circumspection in the future. He is not the type of man to, whom con- formity is I virtue. That, of course, in it- self, is nothing against him. The world needs men who are unafraid to say "no!" when everybody else says "yes"; provided that they do not keep on saying it just to be contrary. But Mr. Bevan has shown time and time again that nothing that his party might do-either in Government or in opposition-would satisfy his critical in- stincts. His fault,is not non-conformity, but chronic and insatiable re-belliousness.

British Policy Wiser

The one bright note in the sorry epi- node of the release of the Yalta documents by the U. S. State Department is the op- position of the British Foreign Office to the publication of a British version at this time. Adding fresh fuel to the fires of senseless controversy would serve no good purpose. Harm enough has been done, though it is now felt that so far as the statements in the publish-

no very serious import. For one thing, they represent only one version of what really took place at the meeting-and that a garbled one, according to State Depart- ment officials who did the editing. For another, the political circumstances in which the meeting was held were very different from what they are now: which means that phrases and statements, which might have been highly significant at the time they were uttered, are much 1955

sequent events.

It is clear, however, that the disclos- ures, whatever their actual worth may be. have come at a mosvinopporiune time. They are certain to be taken advantage of by political opportunists in both Brit- Iin and the United States who take de- light in exaggerating British-American dif- ferences in matters of foreign policy. Anti-American sentiment has been grow- ing ln Britain for some time, Without the gld of ten year old stimulants; this is just the sort of thing to give it lmD9tl15- find it is not difficult to see how anti-British factions in France will be encouraged in their "perfidlous Albion" D!'0D888l1d3- A3 fog American prestige in all Europe. which

- , 1Q'pct to the cur-

schools and colleges is I simple one-pen haps much too simple to be accurate. For the most part, she believes. they come from individuals "who are worried by threats to their economic or social status." She states further that parents who be- come aware of their 'inability to train their children properly try to hide their own in- adequacy by charging educational institu- tions with negligence. She does not. how- ever, say that the fault is all on one side. Some professors and teachers are "con- fused as to the nature of academic free- dom" and are too much inclined to equate it with their own personal interests and points of view.

There always has been sincere and earnest dispute over contemporary edu- cational methods; there probably always will be until Utopia arrives, by which time boredom will have replaced controversy; but that is so far in the distance that it need not cause any immediate concern. Meanwhile, it does appear to have been pretty well established that things are far from well in the world's classrooms; a fact which is not to be wondered at, seeing that virtually every other institution where human affairs are involved is in the same category of inefficiency. But in all fair- ness it must be admitted that President McIntosh and those of her colleagues who are trying to defend themselves from charges of incompetency are right in at least one thing, namely, that, in a demo- cratic society, even the best school ought not to be held responsible for that im- portant part of the child's training which properly belongs to the home.

Unfortunate Lady Of Aarhus

Shakespeare said of Cordelia that her voice was "ever soft, gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman," but at the other end of the scale high vocal notes have been known to shatter wineglasses and many unkind remarks have been made about some women's "ear-plitting” voices. The latest instance of a voice with peculiar properties comes from Aarhus in Den- mark, where a young woman has been having great trouble with her telephone because her voice possesses the unique property of putting the apparatus out of order. It is reported from Copenhagen that every time the lady calls up her friends in other parts of Denmark there is difficulty, sometimes considerable diffi- culty; for when she laughs. and some- times even in ordinary conversation, the connection is broken. At first she thought her telephone was faulty and complained to the local branch of the telephone com- pany. They took the instrument to pieces but could find nothing wrong with it. She then went to the telephone authorities who rang her up several times and after a series of experiments discovered the trouble.

On long-distance calls speech is car- ried through the telephone cable on radio waves of varying frequencies and when a speaker rings off the sound of the ring- ing is carried through the cable on an- other frequency of three thousand hertz. It sometimes happens, but very, very sel- dom, that a human voice in speech or laughter possesses the frequency used for the ringing-off sound and this is what has happened with the lady in Aarhus, whose voice contains qualities that, every time she laughs or speaks in a certain tone of voice, automatically cut off her telephone. The engineers can do nothing about it ex- cept to change the ringing tone to an- other frequency which is apparently rath- er a difficult thing for them to do. The unfortunate lady of Aarhushow has to write to her friends instead of telephon- ing them, the only advantage to her be- ing that it is much cheaper.

EDITORIAL NOTES

It is safe to say that no report in the field of medical research has been await- ed with the hopefulness that is being felt these days with respect to the announce- ment of the effectiveness of the Salk anti- poilo vaccine. The final word will come -early in April, it is expected-from Dr. Thomas Francis, director of the Evalua- tion Centre in the University of Michigan. Reports from more than 200 test areas have been under study by a team of ex- perts for some time. Soon the world will know whether science has added another victory in its long and weary fight against disease.

ROCKY POINT FERRY

Slr,- This ferry will be in op- eration in a few days and it would seem that the parties who are responsible for the condition of the roadway from the R. R. tracks to the boat should take some action to improve the alt- uation. At present it is nothing less than I disgrace--with deep holes filled with water and the rest soft mud. Pedestrians who expect to reach the boat would be well-advised to wear knee-high rubber boots. Perhaps this does not belong in I beautification program, but it would be inter- esting to hear the comments of tourists when they see such a mess” I few blocks from the offices of 'ths responsible author- men.

ALL VETERANS INVITED

Sir,-As the Legions fiscal year ends March Slst and mem” are arranging lu pay their dues for 1955. I feel that it is an op- portune time to invite all non- member veterans in the Prince Edward Island Command to join and become active members in their nearest Branch. Within the area of my own Branch. Souris No. 3. there are some veterans who never have been membe . and also some who have at one time or another been merhbea and dropped out - the same ap- plies to other Bianches - and it is to those this appeal is directed.

Surely there is no need of me setting out what our national or- ganization has accompli' s' over the years on behalf of veterans -its record speaks for itself. But as I Second World War veteran I hope we are taking full cogniz- ance of what the Legion under the direction of the First World War veterans accomplished for us by way of benefits. etc. May I direct attention to the veterans' legislation presently being consid- ered. This alone should be enough to make any veteran anxious to L come a member.

As Provincial President of the Prince Edward island Command I am proud of having this op- portunity of extending this invita- tion to all veterans.

AGAIN-WEST RIVER

Sir,-A letter under the heading "That West River Bridge" which appeared in the March llith issue of The Guardian, needs little comment, as the style of writing and the ideas expressed are so familiar as to" be almost unmis- takable, no matter what signature is attached. However, in all fair- ness to the general public. cor- .ectlons should be made with re- gard to figures given concerning distances between certain places.

Your wrrespondenfs little sum in arithmetic is not correct, and therefore misleading. For instance. instead of seven miles, I little shade over six miles will take

With regard to road problems. once the bridge is constructed in the proposed site. pavement will eventually come as a matter of course.

In view of the fact that their project was unanimously endorsed when announced by the Premier at I meeting of Liberal support- ers in Kingston last fall and also in view of the fact that some time previously a petition had been circulated throughout the district concerning the placing of I (Trans-Canada) bridge at New Dominion. and signed by practic- ally 100 per cent of the residents, Liberals and Conservatives alike, it would seem more than ridicul-

CURTAILMENT OF RAILROAD SERVICE

Sir, - On Friday, March 10th,

1955, there appeared in the char-

lottetowii Guardian I news item

regarding the removal of mixed

train services by the C.N.R. Mr. D. 1". Mill, C.N.R. trans-

port conomist from Moncton, N. B., spoke before the Retail Mer-

chants Association of P.E.I. Mr. Mills. (according to the press) states that there will be only I) tralnmen and three employees of the Car Department laid off. In contradiction to Mr. Mill”: re-

in to the application made by the C.N.R. to the Board of Trans- portation Commissioners, there will be seven mixed trains taken out of service. This would mean that 21 trsinmen, 14 snglnemen, two express messengers and two mail clerks, I total of 39 men, would be taken out of service. It is reasonable to expect with this drastic reduction in train service that the next move by the Railway would be to close some of our regular open tele- graph offices. reduce the section forces and the B and B staff, and undoubtedly drastic I I "ons would be made in the Motive Power and Car Departments. Mr. Mill also stated ihIt on the Sour-is line the freight service calls for Jon: round trips per week for two months of the year. and for two round trips per week for six months of the year, I state that the RailwIy's applica- tion calls for no such service. Their only promise is freight service when the traffic warrants. This brings up the question of when does the traffic warrant an ex!!! train. and who shall be the Judge of that. I feel sure the Rail- way will he the sole judge of that.

Mr. Mills goes on to say that there will be two round trips weekly for eight months on the Murray Harbor. Georgetown and Montague lines. Again I say that the C.N.R. application calls for no such service. Therefore, in my opinion, Mr. Mills has endeavored to fool the people of P.E.I. into believing that they will be getting I better service than wbs they now enjoy.

What does this reduction in

While your youngster is out play- ing baseball or jumping rope, there are other kids the same use throughout the country who must sit by and watch the fun. They are happy if they can just waddle from room to room. their spindly little legs - or maybe only one leg - aided by lightly clutched crutches. Some can't walk even with crutches.

What Happened?

Maybe it was an accident that left these children crippled. May- be lt was a disease. Some were born that way. .

Whatever the cause. they need your help. They deserve it.

Crippled adults, likewise. need your help. Sometimes they need it more than the children. be- cause it is much easier to become discouraged when you're older.

You can aid these men and women. boys and girls. Through the National Society for Crippled Children and Adults you can help start them on the road which leads to independence.

Early this month, more this; 30,000,000 American homes got envelope containing Easter Seals and an appeal for donations.

Last year, the Society, now in its thirty-fourth year. helped I record 118,445 crippled persons.

About 100,000 of them were under the age of 21. In addition, 24.700 parents of crippled children were sided with their special problems through institutes, workshops and education services.

But. as the society's annual re- port. "Into the Light," states 80 vividly:

"Statistics merely hint at the

They carry the double burden of not only their handicap but of the social attitude that idolises beauty and rejects physical non- conformity." There are about 23,000,000 phy- sicaliy handicapped persons in the United States. about 6.000.000 of them children.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

I. G. M.: My father is 70 years old and has nosebleed very often at night. Can you tell me what causes this, and if there is any- thing that can be done for it? Answer: Nosebleeds come from I variety of causes. They may be due to injuries to the nose. high blood pressure. tumors or perhaps infections.

A careful examination is needed to find the cause before treat- ment can be carried out.
