Great Victory For Science

In announcement of the unqualified Iseclu of he Salk polio vaccine will be hailed throughout the world as a signal victory for science in man's eternal battle against disease. Scientific statements are usually given with great caution, but in this case it is announced, officially, that the vaccine has been found "incredibly safe", with only .4 percent of children test- ed stiffening minor reactions.

As the Canadian Press story points out, everyone knew the findings of the brilliant young Dr. Salk, who had created a safe vaccine of killed virus, building on the vital discoveries by others in the long battle against polio. He could prove the vaccine gave children antibodies against polio virus; but (mly the tests on hundreds of thousands of children could show whether the vaccine would protect those who were exposed to living polio virus. Some 440,000 children received the actual vaccine, 210,000 the "dummy" shot. More than 1,000,000 others had nothing, but were studied under the test to see what happened to them in a polio year. Blood tests were made by twenty-seven laboratories to measure anti- bodies from the vaccine and to test for evi- dence of virus in children who had been diagnosed as having polio.

The results of these exhaustive experi- ments have given the news the world was waiting for, and indeed anticipating. The vaccine is declared to be "safe, effective and potent"; it was found 80 to 90 percent effective in preventing paralytic polio in tests last year. Dr. Salk himself declares he is sure it is potentially "almost 100” per- cent effective and can bring "complete triumph over polio and its lieutenants of terror and tragedy."

Canada has played an important part in developing the new vaccine, chief credit in this connection going to a native of the Maritime Provinces, Dr. Raymond Parker of the Connaught Laboratories, of Toronto. The major responsibility, however, fell up- on Dr. Thomas Francis, of the University of Michigan, who directed the task of an- alyzing nearly 150,000,000 bits of informa- tion on children in last year's tests in the United States, Canada and Finland.

Production and distribution methods are now being finalized, and the details of these important factors are given in today's issue. Several medical authorities have urged that the vaccine first go to children up the first grade, with the second priority to children of ages through the fifth grade, and thirdly to pregnant women. It would he shameful indeed if there should result a "mad scramble" for the drug, at black market prices. Eventually it will be avail- able to all; in the meantime, it is to be hoped that there will be the fullest public cooperation in the medical aim: "Hit polio hardest by inoculating those most suscept- lble."

A Good Symbol

Reference was made in these columns a while back to the Prayer Room that had been set aside in the United States Capitol for the use of membersgof Con- gress. A few days ago the room was opened to public inspection: and from a religious hews service the following par- ticulars about its appointments are now available.

The room is 20 ft. square and its cen- tral features are a plain altar and a stain- ed glass window depicting George Wash- ington kneeling in prayer. The window, valued at 510,000, was donated by an art studio in California. In the two corners are shown a book and a candle and a quotation from the 119th psalm, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." At the right of the altar stands the United States flag. Seven lights stand on either side; these, according to the Capitol architect, are intended as a symbol of all faiths. In order that no one faith be emphasized, the only religious article is a copy of the Bible, which is opened to the 23rd psslm. generally re- garded as one of the great poems of the Scriptures.

the growing influence of secularism in all

for anxiety; and the existence of a prayer chamber in the political centre of a great power does not suggest that secularism is being replaced in the ways of the nation, or even in the ways of its Congress, by a nobler and more spiritual concept of life. But, surely, it does represent something

these fear-ridden times. Perhaps other par- liaments and legislatures might do well to give the matter serious consideration.

Alhenagoras' Report

What is the present state of religion in the Soviet Union and its satellites? Are the Churches freer or less so than they were in the days of Stalin? these questions are not easy to find; for, of course, on the spot observers, capable of giving anything like a true picture, are handicapped by censorship and other difficulties stemming from East-West dif- ferences. Perhaps as good a reporter as

in Istanbul, Turkey. Since his jurisdic- tion nominally includes the Russian Orth- odox Church, he has ways of getting re- ports which might be considered fairly authentic, although he himself has not ready access to countries behind the Our- tain.

In a recent interview with the New York Times representative in Istanbul the Archbishop reported that he has reason to believe that things have taken a turn for the better since Nikita Khruschev, head of the Communist Party, issued an edict last November forbidding persecu- tion of Church-goers, which had been the practice before that time. He showed a number of publications from the various Communist States which deal freely with Church problems and even with theological questions. In addition, he said, a number of seminaries which had been closql for many years were re-opened in the last few months. While the public schools remain closed to religious instruction, the schools maintained by the Orthodox Church are now permitted to teach religion almost without restriction; and there is now "0 ban on religious orders. Officially, the Church is still under State domination: but the Archbishop feels that the require- ment for the clergy to echo Moscow's political directions is not as rigidly en- forced as it once was. He has reports of one or two ecclesiastics who have ventur- 'ed to criticize political officials and lived to tell about it. ,

If the Archbishop's reports are only half accurate, they would seem to indi- cate that the anti-religious laws of. almost forty years of Communist rule have not- succeeded in banishing religion from the life of the nation. That fact, in turn, gives at least some hope of a better future for the hundreds of millions of "people to whom freedom of any kind has been .a stranger for so long.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The frozen food industry in the United States is said to be in a state of tempor- ary recession. The reason, however, is not that demand has slowed down-on the contrary, it is growing all the -time-but that most retail stores simply do not have the facilities for storing all the products they would like to handle. 9 O D To commemorate the arrival in New Zealand of the United States Marine Corps, an ornamental gateway with bronze plaques has been planned by Wellington Harbour Board for erection on Aotea Quay, Wellington. In May 1942, elements of the Marine Corps arrived at the Quay, and so became the first troops of a foreign ally ever to be quartered in New Zealand. ' D e e

Canada On Display

ly Patrick Nicholson

Canada is showing the world a remarkable display of versatil- liy; on top of an announcement that deep-freezers were being sold to the Eskimos. a govern- ment offlclal now tells me that Canadian women's fashions are to be shown at that home of fash- ion, Paris.

The talents of Canadian dress designers. and the beautiful work of the Canadian dressmaking in- dustry, will be displayed at the Paris International Trade Fair, from 14th to 30th May. Before that the exhibit will be displayed at the Milan International Trade Fair, from 1221: to 21th April.

In addition to ladies' suits. af- ternoon dresses aud evening gowns, the Canadian exhibit will contain the finest collection of ladies fur garments ever assemb- led for such Fairs.

our northern winter at times, especially late in February Ottawa, seems to have little to command it. But those icy bliz-

zards straight from the, North .

Pole do stimulate nature to do its best to protect our wild animals. The resulting thick coat of pro- tective fur has for more than three centuries made Canada famous as a source of supply of the finest fur skins.

ART AIDS NATURE

The breeder and the rancher has in many lines stolen the headlines, and the top prices. from the Northern trapper. But even the artificially cross-bred and tenderly ranch-raised fur- bearers have their origin in our Northlaud. Mink and fox will headline this all-Canadian dis- play; with these will be beaver, muskrat, squirrel, otter. marten av” I-hlnchllla.

The Department of Northern .. , is a name one would not expect to find on tbs label of a fashionable ladies evening cloak. But this Department, which is responsible for the welfare of the Eskimos, arranaged for the de- sign and making of a lovely cloak made of Canadian Arctic Fox. The twenty specimen skins are the most choice samples of I number at these expensive pure- white skins specially secured by Northern trappers.

The Honorable Jean Lesage, the Minister of Northern Affairs. is no slouch himself as regards male fashions; he probably has a sharp eye for female elegance too. However, his Department's interest in this Arctic Fox cloak has a more significant angle than Woman's welfare; it is a careful- ly planned attempt to stimulate greater interest in the Arctic Fox fur. and thus to provide I largxr market - outside Canada as ell as domestically - for I product upon which the liveli- hood of the Canadian Eskimo so largely depends, A

INTERESTING "TEXTILES

The Department of Trade and Commerce is sponsoring this as- hibition. The word "CANADA" in large gold letters will identify the special stand on which it is to be shown. Artificial snowflakes w,lll provide a suitable setting for the collection of fur garments appropriately draped on was models. Nearby a step-by-step demons- of processing; fur. from the trsppws raw product 9- the finished garment, will be

case and acetate; nylon is another artificial fibre largely used in these dresses. These Canadian fabrics offer new advantages in the way they keep their shape, hold the dyes, and clean easily.

Only one of the dresses, I be lleve, is made from cotton; the rest are all made of fibres which Canada produces, The dazzling blonde model wearing some of the dresses in also produced in Can- ada; definitely not artificial.

If Canadian fashion designers can sell fashions to the Parisians, the outlook for our textile in- dustry will be rosler. The gov- ernmenl is showing imagination in staging this exhibit; more im- sgination than it would have shown if it had merely boosted the protective tariff. as the in- dustry asked.

MUDDY ROADS

Sir,- Yesterday I slopped through mud on the Rocky Point road with a tractor to conduct some business in Charlottetown. and on the way helped two mired cars to regain firmer footing. There was general agreement among all who travelled on that trip, namely that the most im- portant need in this district is a better road. Why this bridge project is being promoted. and our roads lost sight of is very, very strange. All my live year in and out we have travelled or tried to travel on the average

Now, as if this schedule isn't keeping you busy enough, there are a couple of other you might give him.

scraped Raw Apple

As for preparing the scraped raw apple, first wash it in clean water. Peel it and than scrape it. Use a clean spoon or, better still, grate it with a clean grater. Al- low the scrapings to stand until they turn brown.

Mrs. A. L.: I am troubled with gout. What causes it and what can be done to give you-relief?

Answer: Gout is a disorder of the metabolism in which uric acid is retained in the body; there are also attacks of acute inflammation in the joints due to the depositing of salts of uric acid in and about the joints. Heredity is one of the predisposing factors in this dis- ease, as is alcohol. overeating without exercise is often a cause.
