The Bureau is affiliated with .- i m i la r oi--gsiiiizatioiis throughout Canada, and this week will be play- ing hug 10 the parent body, the Canadian Touri.-t Association.

From a publicity standpoint, this will be the most important conven- f the season, and will focus

ULJl'

tion 0 Dominion-wide attention on Char- lottetown and Prince Edward Island lrfgeneral. A busy schedule of ad- dresses and panel discussions has been arranged. but it will not be all work and no play by any means. and it is hoped that the visiting members of the organization will have an enjoyable as well as profit- able time during the week. They will have the opportunity of seeing our Island attractions at first hand, and of appreciating the possibilities of tourist trade development here un- der more favorable transportation conditions, which we are now seek- ing to bring about. Many of the visitors will be returning as old -friends, and all. we are sure, will be welcomed most heartily.

The Maine Election

Now that the recent election in Maine has been duly deposited in the archives of American political history it is possible to draw at least three safe conclusions from the re- sults. One is that the cult which Republican leaders have built with considerable skill around the person of President Eisenhower has been divested of much of its glory. This does not mean that Mr. Eisenhower is no longer a hero in the State of Maine; but it does mean that a Re- publican victory in November can no longer be assured on the basis of its personal popularity. For, what- ever the Republicans may say now about the importance of "local is- sues" in the election, the fact is that the President himself, some weeks before the election, stated publicly that he would consider what hap- pened in Maine to have national significance.

Now, for the second conclusion. If the election had resulted merely in the re-election of Governor Muskie without disturbing the congressional status quo it would be possible to argue that it was simply a case of the governorls receiving a new man- date on the basis of his record. But two considerations make that argu- ment untenable; one, the greatly in- creased majority rolled up by Mr. Muskie, despite the fact that Repub- lican registrations in Maine outnum- her the Democratic ones by almost two to one, thus indicating that a lame number of Republicans broke party ranks; two, the election of at but one Democratic Congressional candidate. with another seat yet to be decided. The first tally gave the Republican candidate a slim 90 vote majority which could very well be' reversed in the official recount. an error in the first tabulation already

, having been established. This is what icounts the more heavily in favour fd the Qhtnocrattc View that the Re-

ed in some quarters that his affilia- tion would hinder his chances, not- withstanding his fine reputation and personal popularity. Last. week's election results have set that theory at rest in Maine and exposed its dubious character on a nation-wide front. This, of course, is an unmis- takeable sign of a long awaited maturity in an important phase of American culture, especially since it followed closely on 5En8t0l' John Kennedy's (also a Roman Catholic) excellent showing in the Vice-Presi- dential race at the Democratic Na- tional Convenlion. it has been estab- lished beyond question that Mr. Kennedy's losing out to Mr. Kefau- ver was solely a political develop- ment without a trace of religious bias. This, surely. is something for which Protestants as well as Roman Catholics-yes. and mlews, Prose- lytes, (lretcs and Arabians”-and not only in the llniied States, can be profoundly thankful: for it adds a bright new chapter to the history of democratic processes.

Tax Overpayments

A report from CCH Canadian Limited, a company which reports on tax and business law, says that some 3909 million of the 331 ii billion excised from individual taxpayers was collected for the Revenue De- partment by Canadian employers. The other side of the picture is that the government found it necessary, in the fical period ending March 31. to refund 5201 million of this amount to the individual taxpayers.

According to the report, there were 2,922,348 refund cheques issued in the fi s c a l year - considerably more than half of all tax returns (individual and corporate) filed dur- ing the year. The tremendous num- ber of refunds might tend to give the impression that the employer is an over zealous tax collector, al- though that is not necessarily the case.

Deductions from t h e pay - roll made by the employer represent 100 per cent of his liability at the cur- rent rate of pay and current exemp- tion status. Both of these factors can, and do, change considerably during the year. A man or a woman may get married in the interim, children are born, lay-offs occur, pay rates may decrease, medical, hospital and charitable expenses are deductible from the tax, and the em- ployer has ho knowledge of these. So that all these changes in circum- stances may work to decrease the individual's tax debt for the year and result in overpnyments.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Dr. Paul Dudley White, the noted heart specialist, told physicians at- tending a confeience on cardiology in Stockholm that, although there is no actual proof that regular vigorous exercise is good for the heart, there is strong indication that it is. In any case, he pointed out, exercise is beneficial in many aspects of the general health.

A Parliamentary Library

By Patrick Nicholson

O'l'T.-XWA: Parliaiiicnls” Library. in its new fireproofeil form. has become the archileclural high- light for tourists who come to look and phutograpli on Parliament Hill. Now one of the most beauti- ful little buildings in the whole of Canada. even in the whole of North .-xinerica. it is the contin- enl's most modern library, al- though it will be 97 years old this yam.

On top of the riverside cliff that

was once Colonel Byls "Barracks .

Hill". the ancient library fusses behind the huge Parliament Build- ing. like a tail behind a kite. its spired rotundily. its twelve sides supported by flying buttresses. its graceful ruol. its quaint outside staircase enclosed in a separate lowcr, all iiiakc It a distinctive building Wt'll remembered by tou- rists.

Four years ago. a fire broke out in the wooden rafters of that vaul- led roof lt burned for nearly 24 hours. Millions of gallongs of wat- er were pumpcil onto the flaming roof. and cascaded down onto the valuable books and unique sets of newspapers stored bclow. Irre- placeable tr-xusurcs were destroy- ed and damaged.

DECIDE T0 FIREPIIOOF

After the fire, it was decided that the interior of the building should be cntirely gutted and re- built in blaz-proof form, without disturbing the grey stone outer walls. Thus the oldest part of the Parliament Building. the only sur- vivor nf the great fire of February 19m, was preserved in its original appearance.

After three years work and the expenditure of 82.000000 the old turn.

The Library looks the same Evcn the carved woodwork of the interinr is the sumo wood. But steel hcams and concrete replace the l)lff'nP(i wooden rafters: a whole additional sub-basement has been blasted out of the rocky cliff- aldc: clcvators. air-cnnhitionlng

stalled; and the largest drawered catalogue in Canada has been created.

The whole job cost 3250.000 less than had been estimated.

"it is not very often that we can boast an achievement like lhal." I was told by Mr. Eddie Gardner, the Chief Architect of the Department of Public works, who personally supervised this in- tricate work on a national beauty- spot.

This was the biggest building lob aver carried out on the Hill. since the Parliament Building was rebuilt in 1917, he told me. CRAFT MATCHES THE BEST

The most decorative feature of the new interior is the big curved roof. The huge dome itself, and especially the graceful little dome- above-the dome. is elaborately di- corated with delicate plaster work which is admired by all visitors.

"1 am very pleased indeed with that. It was a very good job of plastering." Mr. Gardner told me. Sculpting the intricate patttrns on the high ceiling. and mounting the huge precast plaster ribs all look a vcry experienced crew of crafts- men. he said. Italy is world fam- ous for its beautiful plasterwork, but this Job by Canadaln crafts- men can match the best work bl- ing done anywhere in the world.

On delicate work of this kind, Mr. Gardner said. the Department of Public Works would not dare to select the contractors by ten- der. The firm capable of achiev- ing the high quality desired must he hand-picked if there are more than one such lop-flight company.

i then just these elite are invited

and strip-lighting have been in- .

to tender.

A similar oraftsmnn's job has created the most remarkable job of restoration in the Library the cleaning of the elaboratelh carved wood panelling. Many layers of varnish had been brushed on over the century, so that the wood was dark and ugly although the carv- ing remained beautiful. The varn- ish has been stripped off. to re-

It's important for those of you with acne to avoid certain foods.

While an individual diet should be prescribed by your pe physician. there are some foods which generally should be exclud-

erate amounts.

Chocolate probably is the :blef offender. Most doctors routinely Insist that their acne patients rc- baln from eating chocolate in any form. including cocoa.

' FOUNTAIN DRINKS

Usually. it's also a good idea to avoid certain soda fountain drinks, alcoholic beverages, rich cream. homogenized milk. peanut butter. nuts. greasy and fatty foods and thick gravies.

Don't drink tea or oessively, either.

Eat only moderate amount of bread, buuer. cheese, ice cream, pastries and starch foods.

It's all right to eat eggs. potat- oes and all fruits and vegetables.

You can have almost any kind of meal except pork and sausage. You may eat fish and scafoods except those that are rich in lo- dlnrs such as oysters and shrimp.

For this reason, you probably should not use iodized salt while trying in clear up a siege of acne. Donti use bromides either. RE(;lll.AR HABITS

in addition to eating the right foods and taking proper care of your skin. you should strive to maintain regular bowel habits. Don't rely upon laxatives.
