Princess Margaret

Princess Margaret has announ-

ced publicly her decision not to marry Group Captain Townsend. There is no need to go into the cir- cumstances of the romance, which have been given that merciless amount of publicity that beats about the Throne and all associated with it. Her Royal Highness has come through a serious emotional crisis which has been all the more trying on this account. The esteem in which she is held is perhaps as much accountable for the spate of pub- licity as the fact that the question of her rights of succession were in- volved in her contracting a civil marriage under the circumstances. In any case there is no further ex- cuse for prying comment or specula- tion.

Her Highness states that she has reached her decision alone, strength- ened by the support and devotion of Captain Townsend. ”Mindful of the churchis teaching that Christian marriage is indissoluble, and con- scious of my duty to the Common- wealth. I have put these consider- ations before any other." These are her words: and if they imply heart- ache they indicate still more clearly Her Highness' sense of responsibility and duty. They are in keeping with a tradition which, though not al- ways followed, has been a guiding

principal with the Royal Family for

many years.

Her Highness, in words of mov- irig simplicity, expressed her grati- tude "for the concern of all those who have constantly prayed for my happiness." Their name is legion, and their prayers will continue to rise for her peace of mind and true happiness throughout the years.

A Magnificent Showing

We doubt if the record made by our Island potato growers at the Maritime Winter Fair has been equalled at any interprovincial ex- hibition. in any part of Canada, at any time. They made a clean sweep of all the top prizes, with a Souris farmer, Mr. Anslem MacDonald. winning the Maritime potato crown for 1955.

This is striking evidence of the success our growers have achiev- ed in not only maintaining but im- proving.the siiperiorqiiality of their product. Normally their potatoes should be in correspondingly greater demand, both at home and abroad. and they should not nccd to worry about markets at premium prices. But the market is not normal. and unless more protection is aflordcd than by the support prices offered this year. the industry will be scr- iously endangered.

Our growr-'rs have di-me thcil part magnificently. in prorliicing not a luxury product but a commorlit; in daily use on every table in (Win- arln. The wealth proriiiccd hi this irldiistry. brought as it has been to the highest point of efficiency in quality production. is a major factor in our provincial economy. It shoiild be son considered at Ottawa. in a manner commensurate with its im- portance and with the gravity of the present price situation

A Good Turn

Mr. Coldweil of the C.C.F. and Mr. Low of the Social Credit Party are doing the Canadian Government a good turn by suggesting that Ex- ternal Affairs Minister Pearson. now on ii world tour, should either cancel his proposed trip to Egypt or add Israel to his itinerary. The re- markable thing is that this import- ant matter evidently was overlook- ed when Mr. Pearson's tour was be- ing arninged. As Mr. Low says, it mattersgnot one iota whether the ntopoW,1;l-MG;IlI'obInthenatured

Jewish State. After all. 'Mr. Pear- son takes a lower place only to the Prime Minister himself in Canadian officialdom. Wherever he goes, ot- ficially or unofficially, he is looked upon as Canada's representative. That being so, the Israelis are go- ing to look askance at his presence in a hostile country right on their own borders. should he neglect to pay them the courtesy of a friendly call.

The situation in the Middle East is worse now than it has been at any time since Israel and the Arab States entered into their uneasy truce. Anything can happen there. even the start of a third world war Canada. like all other Western na- tions, doubtless is trying in every way possible to ease the tension in .that region; all the more reason for adhering strictly to diplomatic nice- ties. This might not-and probably would not-do much to keep the Israelis and Egyptians from fighting and quarreling; but at least it would show that Canada is aware of the importance of not even seeming to take sides at this very critical and dangerous time.

Farm Publications

Two valuable publications deal- ing with the Atlantic Provinces have been issued by the Experimental Farms Service, Dominion Depart- merit of Agriculture. One is a Crop Variety Guide, a revision of the or- iginal publication of 1954, which presents the variety recommenda- tions in all crops for these Provin- ces. The recommendations are bas- ed on information gathered at the Experimental Stations at Charlotte- town, Frcdcricton, Nappan, Kent- ville and St. John's. Newfoundland. The varieties included represent only a small percentage of those tested; the remainder have been considered unsuitable or less de- sirable for this area for various reasons. The booklet covers cereal and forage crop varieties. small fruits, tree fruits and vegetables. and gives also a crop variety zon- ation map.

The other booklet contains an interim report on agricultural in- vestigations conducted by the five farms of the Services in the Atlan- tic Provinces. It is intended as a supplement to the regular Progress Reports that are issued separately at 5-year intervals by each of these institutions. The publication, though by no means complete in details. is intended to keep farmers. extension workers and the general public in- formed as to the latest findings in this important pliase of experimen- tation.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Dame Flora MacLeod has re- vealed that a notorious spy of the First World War was a MacLeod. She was quick to add. however, that the woman acquired the name by maI'I'iauc: so. the millions of Mac- l.cods scattered over the world need have no worry on that score.

FIRE HAZARDS

Sir. - Al this season of the 3'0” we watch boys and grown-ups at night and in the daytime burning piles of leaves on the streets and lawns. and consider this a very dangerous practice esp ' lly a- mong smnll children. One wonders if there is a fire law here or not. Some people have been observed burning large piles of leaves and grass while the smoke drifted into othcrs' windows and open doors. We have watched small children armed with matches and papers burning piles of leaves and grass at night and running with burning bundles in other piles right under our wiinlows and right back of our ears to ncar the gas tanks for com- fort. Yet there seems to be no law to stop lllis practice. or is there?

A lot of tires have been started from burning grass in summer time and maybe some of the fires have conic from burning leaves and glass. Tliis letter is not intended as a slnr -Ir slant at anyone but to ask that question. Is there a fire law here or is it 0. K. to burn lcaii-.s. gr-xi-s and anything we wish right on the city streets?

I am. Sir. ctr.

New atomic power plants within the next few years poses a very serious problem to the industry. That is the disposal of the radio- active materials which are produc- ed in the reactors. They are. so to speak. the ashes of the atomic fur- naces. As the uranium atoms go through the fission reaction. what is left is a large number of other elements that provide no heat but do give off dangerous rays of many kinds. They must be removed from the furnaces because they impede the fission reaction itself and thus slow down the energy production of the reactor. It is not easy to find a place to put them.

The radioactivity of this mixture of materials is intense at first. sometimes thousands of times as great as the activity of the same amount of pure radium. The in- tense radioactivity dies out within a few days or even hours yet the materials remain dangerous for many years and a slight radio- activity will remain after thousands of years. The common method of disposal at present is to transport the material carefully to large underground tanks, deep in the earth. where it remains for a period of months or years. under careful guard. The problem is what to do with it after that.

one proposed method is to en- close it in large concrete blocks

ocean. By the time the concrete is worn away, thousands of years would elapse and the radioactivity would have decreased to almost zero. But some experts feel that there may be strong currents in

concrete would be worn away more rapidly and the radioactivity would be released: it would thus find its

come dangerous as human food. On the other hand. other experts point out that even if this happened. the radioactivity would concentrate in the bones and scales of the fish which are not used as food. Another suggested method of dis- I post-ii is to bury these materials under heavy concrete in deep aban- doned mines or even in deep nat- ural caves. This would enough except that explorers and - archaeologists centuries into the future migh' iin:n"ne."tiilgly en- counter their rays. The strongest suggestion was made by an Ameri- can professnr who proposed that

The Maoris of New Zeaiand are one of the most advanced of all na- tive races. But they have. now reached the stage where their fu- ture is in doubt.

Experts hold sharply conflicting views on how the race will develop. The query arises because of the speed with which the Maoris have advanced. in a century and a half they have jumped from a Stone Age culture to a stage, where they can hold their own in Western civilization.

The early explorers found that the Maoris knew nothing of the use of metals. For tools and weapons they used sharpened stones. They had no written lan- guage. They were cannibals.

In the period since then the Maoris have shown themselves to he amazingly adaptable They have produced cabinet ministers, noted scieiitists, uiiiversity professors. bishops, doctors, lawyers. poets and a Miss New Zcaiand.

IT'S BEST TO VARY DIET

Variety is the spice of any re- ducing diet. I

No matter how good K1193 I" for you, you can't eat the same foods day after day. Yet. if you want to lose those extra Polllid-I. you've got to remain on your diet.

The trick of course, is in sub- slitution. LOW CALORIED FOODS

The principle of a reducing diet is to' eat foods low in calories yet fortified with plenty of vitamins and minerals. The following veget- ables qualify and may be substit- uted freely for other vegetables in your diet: y

Asparagus, celery, lettuce. spin- ach, string beans, sauerkraut, caul- iflower, brussels sprouts. tomatoes, cucumbers. cabbage. beet greenl. egg plant, broccoli, endive. radish- es, peppers and chard.

In fact. you can eat about as much as you want of radishes. celery, cucumbers, lettuce and raw cabbage. They won't add many cal- ories.

While carrots contain a greater number of calories. you can in- clude them once in a while if you limit yourself to half the quantity allowed for other vegetables.

Lean meat or beef, lamb. veal, and pork contain about the same amount of amino acids. Beef. veal and lamb can be used interchang- eably if you remove all outside fat. Turkey and chicken are good too. But pork should be used sparingly. because it usually is infiltrated with fat- x

Don't. however. substitute any- thing for liver in your diet. Be- cause ol its special qualities, all of us should eat. it at least once A week.

differences between Maoris and Europeans. g ' I

”The myopic cry of assimilation should not blind us to the aspira- tlons of the Maori people. Pud- dington says. "In certain fields Maori and European want and! need to live together as equal but I different kinds of New Zca- j landers." i

This view is supported by other authorities on the native race, in- cluding some of the Maori leaders themselves.

The government does not lean either way in the controversy. It. takes another view again. Says the minister of Maori affairs. EB. Corbett: "It is not a questioli of trying to turn a Maori into a European. which is i- '” It is one of gaking him a good cit- izen, in accordance with the icquii t of his unit I."
