Joyous Occasion

. To Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and His Royal Highness the Duke Of Edinburgh, this smallest of Can- ada’s provinces proudly says “Wel- come” in as many ways as it is pos- sible for our people to express their pleasure at again having the priv- ilege of extending greetings to their beloved Sovereign and her husband.

' It is a visit to which we have looked forward for many months, as marking a memorable event in the history of the province and of Canada, but even more so because of the place which Her Majesty holds in our hearts, of our admiration for the example she has set and our de- votion to her person and to the principles of responsible government which she embodies.

Recently we had occasion to quote from a French language newspaper the reminder that throughout the Commonwealth the Crown is not the "symbol of colonialism,” but quite the reverse. It. is the symbol of an emancipation that has con- tinued to move forward, and this process has gone on to a. noteworthy extent under Her Majesty’s en- lightened rule.

Nowhere. we venture to say, is this more widely understood and ap- preciated than in this part of Can- ada; this Cradle of Confederation which has furnished, in its own hgstory, a striking example of the working out of the ideas of demo- qgatic government. It is for this reason that we cherish our ties with ighe past, and draw inspiration from them for the future.

If we are to be criticized on our attitude in this regard. it is because we have been too hesitant in dem- dlstrating our deep-felt feelings.

Frhaps it’s the Scottish element in {a that tends to make us a. “dour”

ple, fearful of wearing our hearts En our sleeves or of allowing our dmotions to get the better of us. But there are occasions that call forth just such affirmations of deep loy- ai‘:y and devotion. This. truly. is such an occasion. and is to be wel- o§med unreservedly.

';;.Today we present a special edition

honor of the Royal visit. and take illlis opportunity of thanking all who (lo-operated in its preparation. It déuu, indeed. be called a labor of lh‘ve. for its theme is in tune with all our thoughts at this time and be summed up. once again, in that grand old word, “WELCOME!” It. “Up From Slavery"

Three decades after the Statute of Westminster. notes the Financial ' st, it is still the impression of Infamy Americans—even well inform- ed ones—that dominions like Can- ada and Australia are struggling to ffee themselves from the shackles of British colonialism. Hence the cries of joy with which the US. press has grooted the unanimous decis- ion of Prime Minister Pearson and the 10 provincial Premiers, made in Charlottetown last month. that Can- ada should have sole power to amend its constitution. The Milwaukee Journal calls this “a significant success in

drive for national iden- ity." The Christian Science Monitor eys it “will satisfy the healthy na- tional pride of Canadians." The Chicago Daily News describes it as "a big score for Prime Minister Rearson."

' As these papers appear to see it. Britain stubbornly refused to give Canadians the power to amend the British North America Act; she wanted to keep that power herself. But the gallant Canadians, led by Mr. Pearson, rose up, demanded and

nave now Obtained full power over their own affairs.

The facts. of course. are quite otherwise. As The Post says, Brit- ain doesn’t want any sort of control over the Canadian constitution, but she has been stuck with it because Canadians can't agree among them- selves on a means of taking the whole thing off her hands. The chief problem. as Prof. Laskin of the University of Toronto has pointed out, is for a scheme of amendment “that will reflect the balances of federalism while protecting partic- ularly cherished interests of the provinces or any one of them.”

This may take as long as a year, or even longer. But eventually Can- ada’s constitution will be repatria- ted. When it is, there will be relief at Westminster.

Next Question?

In speaking recently on our causeway requirements in the House of Commons. Heath Macquar— rie was interrupted by a BC, mem- ber, Mr. Prittie, w h o wondered if the people of Prince Edward Is- land really wanted a causeway. Wouldn’t it, he said. destroy the uniqueness and charm of the prov- ince, flooding the Isand with hun- dreds and thousands of motor vehi- cles coming over from the mainland every year? Isn’t the junior mem- ber for Queens, he added. “better off the way he is, now?”

To this straightforward question Mr. Macquarrie gave an equally straightforward reply. “I can only say," he remarked, “that I should have liked the company of my hon. friend last Sunday when I made a. very fast trip to Sackville, driving far too “fast, in order to get to the ferry terminal, and then discovered I had to sit there and wait, owing to insufficient room, while three boats left. I thought at that time that I would have loved to have with me some of the people who think that it is a charming thing to have the boats.

“We have arranged, with our Prince Edward Island canniness, that when the causeway is built we will still have the ferry service be- tween Wood Islands and Nova Scbtia, and anyone who wants a sail can carry on his trip. However, I do appreciate the remarks of the hon. and learned gentleman."

Huge Apartment Scheme

For what seems to be the first time anywhere. a new Montreal apartment development is being planned to offer occupants units which share no common wall or floor. They will have separate gar- dens and the sun will fall on either back or front of each apartment at all times.

The basic design of this develop- ment is a series of 50-ton concrete “boxes” fitted together with adequ- ate spaces between them. Hold- ing them together at the ends are long slanting concrete frames, ris- ing as high as the upper story. The conception has already moved off the drafting board and into the hands of engineers. Private funds are being acquired for construction. which will cost $40,000,000.

The expectation is that the de- velopment will be ready for oc- cupancy by January of 1967, the same year as the Montreal World’s Fair. Indeed, the project is being planned in conjunction with the fair, and it has gone as far as being approved by a committee of the fed- eral cabinet. It is to be built on an area of Montreal Island jutting out into the St. Lawrence River and will be the main impression visitors will carry to the fair being built on smaller islands in the St. Lawrence.

Four to five thousand people'will live in the mile-long apartment de- velopment, first of them being pec- ple associated with the fair. All of them will share in one of history’s most unusual and significant ar- chitectural innovations.

EDITORIAL NOTE

A recent article in the Catholic Digest says that Americans already have more leisure than Utopiana. Sir Thomas More’s "Utopia" pub- lished in 1516 had visions of a nine- hour workday and a 60-hour week.

OiTéi/VA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson Anti-Socialist Sentiment In Britain

LONDON. England—A demo- cratic wave of antinsocializa- tion is lapping round the Bri- tish political stage.

Britons generally are reacting to the clash of the election but- tle with a yawn. The short campaign —- with the dissolu- tion of Parliament on 25 Sep- tember, and polling a mere 20 days later on October 15 — is much shorter than our two month election; but it is still long enough to bore the voters.

But.behind the television po- Iicy speeches of the leadens and behind the hustings stumplnas of more than 1. candidates. Britain is being swept and rev! talized by a new think This is simply a revulsion, so against the “let mé do it for you" cry of competing politicians during the great welfare state auction

With unprecedented prosper-A lty now providing full employ ment at record wages, with day after sunbathed day prolonging a sunny summer which enrich- ed farmens with its golden liar- vest, Britons are in the mood to agree with the Conservative el- ection slogan: “This is your standard of living; keep it with the Conservatives." Voters, too often bribed with their own mo- ney by electioneering politicians — just as we have been in Can- ada — are looking askance at the “menu without prices" which is the Labour Party’s bid for victory.

DECLINE OF SOCIALISM

movement, Just like our owu New Democratic Party. But it is much more dependent upon it for its control. support and funds that in our own offspring of the farmer-worker party ort- ginally called the CCF. And this appears to be the greatest ob- stacle to the Labour Party Ll'l the present election, for the La- bour movement here has be- come outmoded as an effective champion of the worker. Its po- licies have not changed as its targets have been attained, and the advent of automation has left its thinking far behind.

White collar workers. foreman and skilled workers were the shock troops in the attack on the now discredited concept of the total Welfare State. other blue collar workers now agree with those that. while there was and still is a duty to protect the needy. there is no call to over- tax wage-earners to provide welfare services for those who are not in nee .

Among the penile debate eves national issues, the election is

policies are putting upou indua trial productivity.

Public opinion polls only a few weeks ago indicated that e Labour Party would win the Bri- tish election comfortably. But this recently detected new wave of small “c” conservative th‘nk ing has swung so many voters that it is now a reel horse race.

Politics In Northern Ireland

y Rod

Currie

8 Canadian Press Staff Writer

It‘s hard to imagine anything more complicated than the game of politics as played in Northern Ireland.

Even the British people are left shaking their heads. won- dering who’s who in the criss- cross of party lines drawn across the tiny country that borders the Irish Republic but. is constitutionally part of the United Kingdom.

Bloody riots in Belfast in rc~ cent days have drawn attention to the situation—end added to

the confusion since the man Republican party. centre of the disturbances. rarely makes any commotion in Northern Irelauc except at the time of Brltlsn elections.

Otherwise, the banner of Ul- atermen wh o demand that Northern Ireland renounce its ties with Westminster and join with the republic in a united Ireland is carried by the les~ boisterous Nationalist party, the main body of opposition in the Northern Ireland parliament.

But no matter how rough the game is played. the wlnner has always been the same.

BECAME A PROVINCE

The Unionist party, affiliated with the Conservatives, has been in power ever since Nos-th- ern Ireland was established in 1921. The six counties have be- come the equivalent of a Cana- dian province.

In the last British Parliament all 12 Irish members were Un- ionists, elected in 1959 with ma- joritles from almost

34 of the 52 seats in the Irish Parliament. The Nationalists, with nine members. would form the official opposition but since they refuse to accept what they term the "partition" of Ireland and do not recognise the au- thority of the House. they r:- fuse to act in this capacity In- atasd the speaker recognizes the head of the four-man Labor

party as opposition leader.

Riots developed when Horn: Affairs Minister Brian McCou nell ordered police removal oi a trl-color flag of the Republic of Ireland from the window of the Republican headquarters Even before that. the campaign was building up as one of in: most vigorous in Britain.

A record 38 candidates ha'w announced they will contest the 12 seats, «seeking full slates by the Unionists and Republicans The latter party also contested all seats in 1959, then under the banner of Sinn Fein - “Ous- selves Alone," the battle cry heard during the violent 19203 when the now outlawed lrisn Republican Army was at its height.

STRONG MEMORIES To the outsider. police seizure of the

vilians were injured may seen. somewhat unreastmable, But memories of the fighting aan persecution that the Unionist against Nationalist. Protestau. against Roman Catholic and the orange' against the green die hard in Ireland.

Some political observers pre- dict that, barring an unforeseen upset, 11 and possibly all 12 constituencies will remain Uur ionlst. But as almost any Irisu- man will tell you. their prob- lems “are not polltlcal,they are religious," and even a national swing in political opinion may not upset the religious bias that favors the Unionists, who are mainly Protestants.

When the six countries were

separated from the 26 of the Republic, the population in the. north was made upmainly ot descendants of earlier Protest- ant Scottish and English setti- ers.

Even today. two-thirds of the n orth em 1.500.000 population are Protestants.They, In gen- eral. support the Unionists While Catholics lean towards the Republicans and other par-

es.

Stealing Blood From Brain

3! Dr. Theodore ll. Van Dale: Dr. Donald J. Cameron and Dr. Irving 5. Wright described a 62-year-old man wt

associated

so I? with hallu- cinations of small.

The attacks were preceded frequently by dream states and a sensation of tingling throughout the body. The dreams lasted less :11 11

minute and he could not recall the details. The odor was unlike anything he had smelled before. The attacks were increasing in frequency until he was hav- ing at least one a day. In addio tlon, there were periods when his arm became so week it could not be lifted.

solving the riddle of these bi- zarre episodes, except that the circulation to the left arm was found

of the problem was detected. Complaints that were unexplainable a few years ago now are traceable to nar- ro of arteries that disturb circulation to the brain.

A little knowledge of the ana- tomy in this area helps to un- derstand this man's problem. It centers about the large subcla- vlan artery in the upper chest that goes to the left arm. The vessel was narrowed near its origin. which explains the im. paired circulation to the left arm. But this was only part of the story. Just beyond the ob- struction, the vessel divides, sending a branch (vertebral ar- tery) that brings blood to the back part of the brain. upper spine, and labrylnth of tile ear. makes connections in the head with arteries from the oth- er side

Blood usually flows in an up- ward direction in this artery but X-rays showed that in the patient in question, it was going down instead of up. The subcla- vian artery was stealing blood from the brain via this branch and sending it to the arm. It was nature's way of bypassing the obstruction. This was the reason symptoms were coming from the brain and not from no firm. Surgery cured the disor-

er. The condition was described originally by others and dubbed the subclavian steal syndrome. Some victims develop weakness of all four extremities when the upper spinal cord is robbed of blood. Others have dizziness ringing of the ears. visual changes, or headache. Occasion- ally symptoms arise only when the arm is exercised. This, in turn, increases the amount of blood stolen from the brain.

DELAYING ACTION SH. writes: Has any progress been made in the prevention of diabetes?

REPLY

es. but not so much in pre- vention as in delaying the onset of diabetes in potential candi- dates. This ls done by avoiding obesity and by the use of oral anti-diabetic pills under certain conditions.
