vivid contrasts: immense wealth and dire poverty, great landowners and peasants with not a square foot of soil to call their own. Tliese conditions are, naturally, the source of much social unrest and are re- nponsible in large measure for the Com- mttnists' infiltration that is creating seri- ous political problems throughout the country. The Government of Mr. Nehru. with tcchnical and monetary assistance from the United Nations. is trying very hard to combat the economic maladjust- ment; but experts say it will take many years for the various programmes now under way to have any noticeable effect on the situation.

In view of this deplorable, and perhaps inevitable, state of affairs, :1 story now being told about an Indian by the name of Vinoba Bhave is one of general inter- est. (A book on the subject by Hallam Tennyson. entitled "India's Walking Saint". is now being produced by Double- day.) Mr. Bhave is not a politician of the right. left. or centre. In fact. he is as y far removed from political affairs as any man can be in this world. Some report- l Qrs of his goings-on call him a saint; others say he is a beggar on a grand scale; but since the two words often have the same meaning in the Far East, the correct terminology is of lltllC moment.

The Stage Is Crowded

Modern Packaging

London

Something that used to be merely incidental to industry has become .an industry in its own right - the art. the craft. the trade (call it what you willr of packaging. As it is one of the newest. it is certainly one of the least complacent of in- iduslries. Because it is new it is ,'immensely competitive.

Men in this trade are enthusiasts. l'l'he man who makes paper sacks will tell you that for most things lthey are superior to any other kind ,nf packing. But the man who makes sacks of jute will point to their, durability and the fart that they have been successful containers for I century or more. The man who sells plastic parking -'- and here is a section of the trade where de- velopment seems to run at a breath- less speed - will uphold his prod- uct against all other materials. And so it goes on. It is exactly as Mrs. Pandit. the Indian High Commissioner in Lon- don. put it at the opening ceremony -there is a new revolution in indus- try today. for what is happening now in the way of packing and pre- senting goods to the customer was unheard of ten years ago, and will be out of date ten years hence. Nowadays you can wrap up any- thing from an aspirin tablet to an aeroplane engine. Indeed you must wrap it up if you are going to sell your aspirin to a discerning cus- tomer or get the engine in good condition to a user overseas. And. of course. aspirins. like sweets and

Packaging machinery is being speeded up all the time. and scores of almost human contrivances were to be seen chattering and fussing on the exhibition stands. One of them was putting caps on bottles at the rate of 8.000 an hour: another was wrapping hniled sweets so fast that the eye could scarcely follow it: yet another was putting flour into paper sacks at the rate of seventy pounds every twelve sec- onds. I ” tally someone has dis- covered that if a paper sack is flattened after filling it takes up one-fifth less space and it stacks better in the warehouse. So one firm which makes paper sacks has also brought out n mat-hinr for rol- ling them after they are filled and sealed. There was a novel demonstration of the strength of a paper sack. Don Cockell, the British heavy- weight boxcr. used one as a punch bag and failed to.burst it after a srenuotts bout. Hc autngruphcd the sack as a tribute to its toughness. There is a good deal of emphasis on plastics in modern packaging. PVC film is being used. for - stance. for packing aircraft engines and parts: while one version of plastic film is treated to eliminate static electricity on its surface so that it repels dust. Not only are plastic films and transparent pap- ers coming more and more into packaging: they are now in many bright colours. and can carry clever advertising as well as do- ing a Job In the clean-food cam- pain. 0 O 0

Although so much in packaging calls on the new materials. that is not to say the old ones are being superseded. On the contrary: the jute industry has hardly ever been so alert. While the British-based industry, which has the Scottish city of Dundee as its centre. has spent millions on new machinery

be folded flat when they are re- turned to the factory to be re- filled. The age-old stone jar is still functionual. "and it now ap- pears in new attractive colours and seemly shapes. By contrast the squeeze-bottle - the flexible plastic bottle which was first used for cosmetics and talcum powders -has grown hugely. 'There is one ten-gallon plastic bottle for chemi- calls which is made rectangular for close packing.

But an industry which can fill one of London's largest exhibition halls with a display as colourful as this obviously has ideas a-plenty. and forward-looking men to de- velop and apphy them.

Potato History

(Gait Reporter)

Popular urage has ignored the lessons of history in giving name to the "Irish potato." It is not Irish at all, of course. The only reasonable excuse for. calling it that is the fact that the first po- tatoes in the British Isles were planted by Sir Walter Raleigh on his Irish estates. .

But the potato had already done some travelling on its own ac- count before reaching Erin's fabled isle. It is actually a gift of the Peruvian and Chilean Indians. the first known people to cultivate this staple of the dining table.

When Spanish conquistadors in- vaded Peru and Chile they found potatoes growing in tribal gar- dens high up on the Andean mountain slopes. They sent. back samples to Spain on returning galleons that also carried the looted treasures of Chile and Peru.

At the time the gold-senking Spanish little dreamed that the potato would. in the long run. prove more valuable to mankind than the treasures of the Incas.

From Spain the potato was in- troduced in turn into France. Italy, Germany and the Nether- lands before Raleigh made his first plantings in Ireland. From the estates of cloak-shedding Ra- leitl" "'9 llotato crossed the Irish see into England.

The potato had its troubles in the early days. Most Europeans looked upon it with suspicion as

LOCAL SHOPPING HOURS

Sir.-It would seem proper in the interests of the sltnppim; ,,.t.;- he that a proper analysis of thc intended shopping hnurs of Char- lottetownls stores. as listed in two separate lists of the merchants of the city that appeared in the issue of The Guardian on Monday 75th be reviewed and clearly stated no that thc public may know what stores have stated their intention of Nn-Change in present shopping hours in their stores.

Of the 90 or more grocers doing business in Charlottetown, not a single grocer stated he will close his store on Saturday afternoons and evenings. Not a single shoe store signified their intention of likewise closing on Saturday afternoon and evening. From those listd. lone of our chain stores are closing. Three shoe flrm's names did appear. stating they will be open both af- ternoons and evenings. It would appear that some lines of busi- ness to whom Saturday is not an important day. signified their intention of closing on the Satur- day's mentioned. It would also ap- pear that Saturday will still see "business as usual" being done in many of the City's stores.

some sort of poisonous tuber and refused to eat it. Benighted peas- ants lnsisted that it was intro- duced by the aristocracy to fur- ther reduce the ranks of the peasantry.

It was from Britain that the potato journed back across the Atlantic with English -speaking colonists on their way to the New World of hope and opportunity. The date of its introduction into America is one of those details the history books have overlooked. The chronicles of the early James. town and Plymouth rolonles make no mention of the globe-girdling potato.

DON'T NURSE Ill IAIY IF YOU RAVI CIIRONIC ILL

Just. about every mother can and should burn her baby. There

If you are not too ill. you should make every effort to keep up your milk supply. Empty your breasts by band until you recover front your illness and caa nurse your baby. you become ya t again while nursing your infant. it may be advisable to stop nursing him.

Too Great a strain .

Now don't misunderstand. Preg- nancy has no adverse effect on breast milk. But many doctors believe t.l1at..it is too much of I strain for a mother to nurse one baby at her breast and at the same time nourish another with- in the womb.

I think your doctor will also advise against nursing if you have a breast abscess. He will, at least. tell you not to use the infected breast. You may find an ice bag helpful in checkin the infection. If that fails, penlciiin usually will clear it up.

Some mothers make the mis- take of stopping breast feeding: because of menstruation. Usually these ”' periods do not begin until five to seven months

- after the birth of a baby. No mat-

ter when they begin. there is no need to stop nursing. Nervousness during these pe- riods may reduce the amount of milk in the breasts for a few days. And your baby may become a little restless because of your ner- vousness. - But he will get plenty to eat from nursing. You won't have to give him any additional milk.
