Crucial Weekend

President Eisenhower has called seven top advisers to the White House | to help him prepare for his crucial talks with Soviet Premier Khruschev this weekend. The talks will be held ‘at the President’s secluded moun- tain retreat at Camp David, Mary- land, and this is a good thing. There will be more privacy there than at Washington, more opportunity for frank discussion on both sides, and for coming, if that be possible, to some understanding that will make for improved world relations.

Mr. Khruschev’s American tour has been sensational, and he has res- ‘ponded like a born trouper to every chance of making propaganda. But he has made impressive speeches as well, notably before the United Nations Assembly in his appeal for world disarmament, which -cannot lightly be dismissed. How to sort the wheat from the chaff is a big problem, which Eisenhower and his advisers will have to cope with.

The difficulty is well summed up . by James Reston, of the New York _Times. Khruschev, he says, has put on a good show, but tis Wan einai not to learn but, to teach. The West

- wants to talk quietly; he is shouting from the rooftops. The West is m_ a mood for smail accommodations ; he is going sled-length for the millen- nium. The West wants to limit and inspect the arms race; Mr. Khrus- chev wants to wipe it out altogether with a kind of universal Christmas- card pacifism. The things he can do something about— inspection, arb- itration, Laos, China, Tibet—he

2 does not want to debate. The things no _ Man can do he wants done at once.

“It is a: remarkable spectacle,” writes the New York Times man. “He will co-operate with us on the moon but not on the earth. He is against the use of force but \won’t discuss Laos. He is for self-determination but not for free elections. Having no faith is us, he asks for total

> faith -in himself. He wants to talk about our sins but not about his sins, and when this doesn’t work, he proposes, being the biggest sinner of us all, that we wipe out sin altoget- her.” / | ;

What must be said for Khrusche is that he has not tried to pretty things up. He has stated his case, personalized the struggle and clari- fied its dimensions. He has not dis- proved the theory that it is useless to negotiate with the Russians,. but

he has made clear that there are™

- severe limitations on the prospect of these negoteations. Hence the delicacy ‘of the task confronting President Eisenhower at Camp David, and the anxiety with which the conference results will be awaited throughout the world.

Orphanage Appeal. The annual drive in aid of th

Protestant Orphanage will be made next week, and -we are sure there

e

is no‘need to labor the reasons for. |

petronizing it generously. But we shouid be Jax in not taking advantage of the opportunity of eommending the work which this fine. institution is doing, on a budget which many * of our business men would find em- barrassingly inadequate. : The ‘care of orphaned children is,\of course, a prime responsibility of every civilized society. No doubt * the Soviet Premier, Mr. Khruschev, could point to the generous state -\sallowances provided for orphans un- ~ der Communism, and from his view- point, this would constitute another claim to superiority. over the capital- istie system. That argument is’ good only insofar as we neglect our res- ponsibilities for voluntary \giving to such worthy causes. In this com- munity, and elsewhere throughout Canada, we feel that there are limits _to state support and that the charity which ‘blesses the giver as well as the receiver is not something that ' ean be applied at government level, like & sales tax, but must come from

>the heart.

Doesn’t this go to the root of our hi n creed, in voluntarily giv- from one’s abundance, or even

one’s poverty as in the parable

re

orphanages, reminding us needs of these innocent victims of misfortune, of the homes we have undertaken to provide for them in lieu of the ones they have lost, of + the heart-tugging claims they make upon us as foster parents, and the glow of satisfaction that comes from. responding warmly and generously to their appeal. é This will be our opportunity. next week, and we have no doubt that the response will be satisfactory. It should be measured, not only by the total sum received, but by the number of contributors participating in this humaiitarian work. The more the merrier, as the old saying goes. In- déed, it would defeat the purpose of the drive to haye a few conscientious _citizens underwrite the whole object- _ive. That would leave the rest of us outside the pale of the blessing alto- gether. fe We need this moral lift to our egos, just as much as the orphans need the money. If we hadn't any outlets of this kind for our social sympathies, we should have to in- vent them. Fortunately for us, the unfortunate are always with us. It is how we respond to the challenge of their needs that counts, and gives _| the measure of our sincerity to the religious faith we profess.

Putting It In Perspective

In the United States, as in Can- ada, ‘the farmer is too often pietur- ‘ed as the No. 1 recipient of subsidies from the heavily-burdened taxpay- ‘ers. U.S. Senator Wiley, who repre- sents the big farming state of Wis- consin, has gotten tired of this kind of criticism and has gathered some facts and figures in rebuttal. Here are some of his statements, given not to “whitewash” a farm program which admittedly has many defects, but “to keep the picture in perspec- tive while making every attempt to finda solution”: — ‘

The U.S. Government has about $6.1 billion tied up in farm surpluses, plus about $2.7 billion in crop loans. (It.receives 84 cents back out of each: dollar paid for price supports.) But it has also about $8.2 billion invested in so-called strategic materials— much of it purchased to “help out” the involved industries; magazines, newspapers and businesses have benefited in the form of postal sub- sidies up to more than $6 billion since World War II; manufacturers have received $43 billion in subsidy-like benefits, such as tax amortization or business reconversion , payments \in the last 12 years; veterans’ benefits have cost more than $60 billion since 1948. Also, air lines, water transport- ation, mining firms and ‘many others have received subsidies or tax con- cessions, which amount to the same thing.

In this country, evidence of a similar nature has been given in the Gordon Commission’s report on the m-effecy of tariff policies on the na- tional economy. It should be required reading for all who imagine that farm supports are an unprecedented drain on the sta dees:

Consumers Have Ri

ghts Too

By Patrick Nicholson

The busiest clerks in_ the av- erage Canadian department store this autumn, as in every autumn, are those in the adjustments and exchange section. Their— angry clients are the tired and frustra- ted—mothers of school-age chil- dren, who have as usual lost out in the annual Canadian gamble of trying to buy clothes which will fit. :

At this time of year Canadian mothers, trying to outfit their children against the coming win- ter, run slap up against the most disheartening aspect of buying | clothes. This is the complete .ab- sence of an andard measure- ments governing the marked siz- es of different articles of cloth- ing made in Canada. Every Can- adian mother learns repeatedly that. to buy the next larger size to that which has now become too small for a growing child, is no guarantee of a fit. OFFICIALDOM EXPLAINS

That old excuse about children of any given age not all being the same size is complete pop- ’pycock. . British children, like French, or American children, vary considerably; yet in those countries clothing stores do not

The situation is clearly recog- nized by the, retailers, who know that they eternally lose the good- will of their customers through the fault of manufacturers, and who are aware of the cost of sales clerks’ time wasted in abor- tive sales and exchanges. It is even more painfully recognized by retailers at border cities, who are aware that they are always losing trade to stores across the American line, where buyers find the sizes are consistent and re- liable.

When To Stop

is, in general, no specific time of day best suited. for exercise.

Usually you can exercise, either with specific exercises or by

‘| playing some game, _ whenever

you have the time for it. Under most circumstances it doesn't make much difference whether you do it before or.after eating. CONTRARY TO BELIEF |

Popular belief to the contrary, physical exertion apparently does not necessarily interfere with di- gestion. Farmers and laborers usually work hard immediately after eating with no ill effects.

However, if emotional stress is involved in the exercise, such as that experienced in highly competitive sport, then it is bet- ter to eat three to four hours ‘before embarking upon any strenuous activity.

QUIT WHEN TIRED :

Always quit when you begin to feel pleasantly pooped. -

The best guide to whether you have gone at angthing too stren- uously or for too long a period is your ability to recover. You should be able to recuperate in a_reasonably prompt period.

If, for example, you are still out of breath ‘and your heart is still pounding ten minutes after you’ have halted your activities, then you have tried to do too much.

TOO STRENUOUS

Ifyou feel weak or fatigued after a two hour rest period, your. activities have been too strenuous. .~I£ you are unable to sleep well that night and if you still feel fatigued the next day, it’s a warm ing to slow down, brother, slow down.

SERIOUS HARM

When exercise is carried to the | stage of exhaustion, you may suf- fer serious harm. And if you at- tempt to begin the activity again without allowing enough time for sufficient recovery, you are ask- ing for real trouble. —
