i (Continued from page 1) i! accounted for four of Canada’s i five polio deaths so far this year.
PROGRAM ADVANCED
Canada’s Salk vaccine program is well advanced among the coun- try’s school-age children, who are easily reached by public health
_ authorities. About 90 -per cent aged five to 19 have had one or more shots. But outside this age group there} are gaps, and polio is striking. Last year paralytic polio hit 253 Canadians—a gain of 43 per cent from 1957. The attack was concen- trated in Manitoba and Quebec which together had 73 per cent of the total cases. The concern of health authorit- ‘Ges is that the disease was con- eentrated among pre-school chil- dren, especially infants, and among young adults. It is estimated that about 700,- 000 of the 2,200,000 children under five years have had no vaccine shots. Last year 41 per cent of polio cases were in that age group compared with 33 per cent the year before. Fortunately the { death rate wasn’t high — only : about five per cent of cases. i But the amount of paralytic po- ; lio in 1958 among infants in the first two years of life was three times as high as in 1957. UNPROTECTED ADULTS
At the other end of the age scale, among unprotected young adults, the concern is over the heavy death rate. Last year the 25 to 34 age group had 20 per cent of the cases but half of the %9 polio deaths in Canada.

The 3rd Canadian Infantry Di- vision waded in on a five - mile front. First objectives: Bernieres- sur-Mer, St. Aubin-sur-Mer, Cour- seulles-sur-Mer. The 7th Brigade to the right, 8th-to the left, 9th in reserve.
What was it like D-Day for the men on the fire-swept Calvados shore?
NO TIME FOR FEAR
Sgt. John Folkard, 45, of Grin- brod, B.C.: “I was woozy. The ship rocked all over the place. It was a dull day and the clouds held the smoke from the guns low over the water. I sure wished that boat would sit still. I was so sick I didn’t have time to be afraid.
“I don't think any of us was worried at all before the landing; just resigned. We didn’t care whether we went through it or not. I went ashore in Sherman tank. We didn’t stop until we were a mile inland. I didn't know the German 88s were firing at us until one of the tanks was hit.
“But that’s the way it was. What was happening was too big to understand. You just looked after your own little area.”
Capt. Pierre Vallee, 42, of Que- bec City: “One thing struck me as odd. My father was a doctor and after graduating from Laval studied two years in France and Germany and had taken holidays at Bernieres-sur-Mer.
“I arrived there 40 years after him, under much more trying cir- cumstances.”
HIS LONGEST DAY
Lt.Col. E. §. Bryant, 47, of Sarnia, Ont., ané Edmonton: “June 6 was the longest day in my life. There are times I can’t even recall, just dan’t remember.
“I remember seeing casualties on the beach, soldiers and frog- men. It was a bit of a shock be- cause the first one I saw was just half a body.”
Lt.-Col. H. M. (Red) Grant, 53, of Halifax: “There were times when I was scared to death. For a while we thought we'd gotten into another Dieppe. The Ger- /Mans were wonderful soldiers. You just can't take that away -| from them.”
Sgt. Frank Cunningham, 35, of 0 “It was awful damn noisy.”
Sgt. W. S. Dunnett, 37, of To- ronto, who jumped about 12:40 a.m. D-Day with ist Canadien Parachute Battalion: “I was scared. The flak was heavy over

Hon. Hugues Labpointe, 48, of Riviere-du-Loup, Que., former federal veterans minister:
“The first thing that comes to my mind is the impression of power which the landing force gave as it disembarked and the feeling one had that such a huge undertaking could not but suc- ceed.
LOST HALF COMPANY
Although the cheque - exchang- ing operation was never fully ex- plained in the Commons, it ap- parently benefitted the confrac- tor who could use his friend’s cheque to obtain credit from the bank to carry on work on his gov- ernment contract. QUOTES BURKE
Dr. Beauchesne, tn discussing the MP’s responsibility, quotes from the great British parliamen- tarian Edmund Burke:
“**Parliament is not a congress of ambassadors from different and hostile interests; which in- terests each must maintain as an agent and advocate, against other agents and advocates; but Parlia- ment is a deliberative assembly of one nation, with one interest, that of the whole; where not lo-

Change Made In Royal Visit
‘A slight change in the landing nd route of the Royal Visit to Prince Edward Island, July 30, has been announced following a meeting of the central committee.
It was decided that the Royal ‘Launch should dock at the Rail- way Wharf rather than the navy jetty as previously -announced.
This was made necessary dué to the uncertainty of the navy jetty being completed in time.
The landing will be at 9:45 a. m., 15 minutes earlier than pre- viously announced. The guard of honour from the RCAF Station, Summerside, will be inspected at the Railway Wharf.
The Royal Party will then pro- ceed via Water Street to HMCS Queen Charlotte, arriving at 10 o'clock and the program as pre- viously announced will be car- ried out.

The trucking association claimed the CNR not only is violating the law since it has no ‘permit for point-to-point trucking within the province, but is sub- jecting Quebec truckers to unfair
competition. INVOICES BY TRAIN
Sessions Judge M. A. Biain found the CNR guilty specifically of moving merchandise from

miles north, by truck. He said invoices for the goods were sent by train.
In his written judgment, Judge Blain said “‘it is a fallacy to con- tend that transport by truck as described in this court is a part of the Canadian National Rail- ways system.”
“On the contrary, by wilfully substituting transport of merchandise by truck when the company can handle the same transport by train is contrary to its (the CNR’s) charter and to the rights of the province of Que- bec truckers, who remain ub ject to highway transport laws.”
Chateauguay Perrault, counsel for the CNR, made no comment after receiving a copy of the judg- ment.
Judge Blain held that the CNR has the right to use motor ve- livery of goods carried by rail, where necessary to complete de- hicles in an “‘auxiliary’’ capacity “but not as a replacement or

For Atlantic
MONTREAL (CP)—‘The ones that get away’ were discussed Friday by sceentists and del- egates to the ninth annual meet- ing of the International Commis- sion for the ‘Northwest Atlantic Fisheries.
Only “‘the ones that get away”
were not fish. They were nets. The commission was told that @ili nets, vertical walis of mesh used to catch cod and herring, had been known to break away from their moorings. If fishermen cound not redover them the nets continued to catch shoals of fish. Making the problem worse wes the fact that modern nets are be- ing made of rot-resisting nylon tather than the older natural fibre.

evening. services have been held in with the Baptist Jubilee Advance Year of Evangelism Ss.
Mr. McClare’s subject for the final service was, “The Reason of Our Hope,” in which he pro- claimed that while much has to be accepted ‘‘on faith’’, christian- ity can stand inquiry. It is based on the scriptures and one should be ready always to give an an- swer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear (1 Peter 3:1-5). The speaker pointed out that if christianity has a reason for existing the be- liever should know it and live it.
Music for the evening was pro- vided by the members of the United and Baptist Church choirs with Mrs. Reginald Simpson as organist. One of the selections used was, “God, Our Creator”, composed and written by Mrs. Mary MacDonald Bruce of Val- leyfield West, P.E.I By special request, Mr. McClare sang “The Glory of His Presence”’.
On Tuesday evening the choir of the Fairvue Baptist Church with their pastor, Rev. R. J. Fos- ter, assisted in the service and on Wednesday evening the New Glasgow Ohristian Church choir provided music.

Delegates were told in earlier meetings of the new fishing grounds still being discovered and exploited. Among the latest were great stocks of redfish. Of the total catch of 315,000 tons, 200,000 tons had been caught in relatively new areas.
Cod was still No. 1 Mish but redfish had pushed haddock down the scale.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) father, sick with grief over on senseless slaying of his three- year-old daughter, has written an open letter to the people cf Philadelphia offering to help the 15-year-old honor student who confessed the slaying.
Anatol Holt, 31-year-old mathe- matics instructor at the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, expressed the thoughts of his tortured mind in a 1,300-word copyrighted art- icle in the Philadelphia Bulletin.
“Dear people of Philadelphia,” Holt wrote, “I write to you this morning at the rise of dawn, still in the midst of a tormented wake, the most terrible grief which has ever searched my soul.

The letter was written a mat- ter of hours after the little girl Becky Holt, was found stuffed in a toy closet in the basement of the home of her teen-aged slayer. The boy, Edward Cooney, Jr., ad- mitted the crime after confessing to his priest. He led authorities to the closet and told authorities he strangled the child when she re- sisted his advances.
“T don't know why I did it, I don’t know why,” Cooney cried.
