It wouldn’t hurt to have similar legislation in Canada. Anything that would help to cut down the present appalling toll of highway accidents in both countries should be welcom- ed.

Proiecl Hospitality

Recently received from the Can- adian Tourist Association is a series of interesting booklets on the fine art of hospitality. It is an art that every province must learn to prac- tice if it wishes to stay in the tour- ist business. These small booklets have been compiled especially for

; Mr. Fair suggests that one dele- ga’te be elected from each of the 265 fetlcral ridings. on a non-partisan basis. Delegates would be between 13 and 18 (as of January 1. 1964) arid so would be 18 to 21 years old ori Jan. 1. 1967. Delegates would be picked through oratory contests. essay competitions. knowlege of cur- rent affairs tests. their scholastic stiinding and their contribution to their community.

: When chosen, the 265 delegates would be divided into government and opposition groups. They would debate the issues of the day. such as Canada's economic development and relations with the Commonwealth. the United States. the United Na- tidns. etc.

'. In a nine-page brief Mr. Fair ex- plains. in considerable detail how the youth parliament could be brought into being. Emphasis is placed on its educational value to the participants. as; well as the part it would play in Canada's centennial celebrations.

There could be another advan- tage as well.

studied with profit by everybody.

Besides listing "Dos and Donts” for persons in these occupations. they each have a questionnaire for the employee to answer on his or her own community. The questions in the "quiz" are typical of those asked by tourists. and the aim is to enable the employee to give correct information on a wide variety of topics of local interest.

Each booklet is prepared for a different class of personnel. but they all carry the same introduction. in which it is noted that their publica- tion has been undertaken as a part of CTA‘s Project Hospitality. a pro-

A Beloved Teacher

The late Rev. Frederick L. Cass was truly a guide, philosopher and friend to the many young people who had the good fortune to come under his influence at St. Dunstan’s Uni- versity.For over a quarter of a cen- tury he had headed the institution’s chemistry department. but his inter- ests were by no means confined to this important branch of instruction.

Under his able coaching the uni- versity’s d e b a ti n g teams twice achieved national intercollegiate honors. and he was equally active in promoting athletic activities. notably in hockey and rugby. Among the many other duties he performed were those of chief instructor of the

St. Dunstan's Cadet Corps. and Ro- ; man Catholic chaplain of the Char-

. adian Legion.

Father Cass had a great capacity for friendship. and for inspiring others with his zeal and enthusiasm. His passing at this time. at the com-

Leave ital: The EXper’rs

The patience of historians must. be considerable. Few pro- fessional men are more picked at. by well- meaning amateurs than are historians. Most often. the complaint is that history is too dull, . Now. increasingly. there is talk of rewriting . t. h e history books in 9 ate nation- al unity through a “better under- standing" of the past.

This sounds like a worthy elm. but what could happen if enthu- siasm for tinkering with the past ever gets out of hand? For in stance. what about the exciting story of the early days of Can- ada when French and English and Indian clashed in the strug- gle of opening a new land? Is it possible this could be "de-em- phasized" in keeping with mod» ern national unity?

early days the best. part of Can- adian history. Thanks to the work of dedicated histori ans. young boys have joined Cham- plain on the Ottawa or V101 and Montcalm at Quebec. From these exciting chapters of our history date many a keen inter est in the subject.

The Public Archives of Can~ ada sent along a preliminary in- ventory of "-pre- Conquest palp- are“ the other day, and the bun dreds of original documents listed were a reminder of the monumental. piece- 'by- piece ne- tecljve job done by historians in putting together the story Canada. It reminds too that the job still goes on as new docu- ments are found. Those who would rewrite the history books might bear this in mind. there's to be any tinkering with the past, let's leave it to the ex- perts

The organ may get smaller if the causative defect can be cor- rected via surgery or by lower- ing high blood pressure through medicine. Enlargement second- ary to thyroid disease reverses itself if the condition is correct- ed. The same can be said of the beriberi heart with the adminis- tration of thiamine.
