Noteworthy Anniversary

The history of the Acadians of this Province, 'of their expulsion two hundred years ago during 'theFran- co-British war, of their return and of the hardships and privations they en-

, dured in reestablishing themselves in

‘ the land they so" passionately loved,

has been told in an admirable series of articles appearing recently in these columns by one of their gifted descen- dents, ,Dr. J. Henri Blanchard. ‘It is not necessary to review the details again, except to note that the passing years have not dimmed the memory of this pioneer achievement, and that those who today will be commemorat- ing the Acadian bicentiennial at Mont Camel are among our most highly esteemed citizens” All classes of our people will join in‘spirit in this mem- orable observance, and in paying tri- bute to the invaluable contribution which the Acadians have made to this Province and to Canada as a whole.

They will join also in welcoming the large group of French-speaking " Canadians from Montreal, Quebec City and Ottawa who have arrived to take part in the commemoration at Mont Carmel, and whowill visit other parts of the Maritimes where Acadian history has been Writ large. This is the first “La Liaison Francaise” trip to this part of Canada, and the oc- casion could not have been more happily chosen. History will be made in this great goodwill gathering in our‘Island Province today. Out of it

i will come still closer ties of friendship

and understanding, a stronger and more virile Canadianism based on tol- erance and re’spect‘for our diverse heritage of the past, and for the ra- cial virtues, deeds and sacrifices that have gone into its making.

Scientific Conference

In accordancewith a plan agreed upon at last year’s meeting of Com- monwealth Prime Ministers, the Bri-

‘tish Government has invited all the

members to send delegates to 9. Com- monwealthConference of nuclear sci- entists to be held Sept. 15th to 20th. ‘ In their final communique the Commonwealth Prime Ministers stat- ed that “the Commonwealth Minis- ' ters revie‘Wed the prggress of co-op— oration within the Commonwealth in the use of nuclear energy for civil] purposes. They recognized the grow- ing importance of the ‘contribution which nuclear energy can make to the peaceful development of their coun- tries and of the rest of the world and the value of close collaboration be! tween members of the Common- wealth in this field.” . The main purpose of the confer- ence, the report says, is to show dele- gates from all parts of the Common- wealth what is being done at atomic energy establishments in Britain and to discuss their particular require- ments and recent developments in the nuclear field. The program is. being

, worked out by. the United Kingdom

Atomic Energy Authority. 'Events will include visits to Calder Hall, where the world’s first atomic energy plant was established and to other places where the stations are being considered. '

Britain leads the world in the pro- duction of atomic energy for peaceful purposes. The conference ought to serve a useful purpose by acquainting Commonwealth scientists with the progress that has been made and with long range plans for the future.

‘ New, U.N. Agency

Twenty-one nations having ratifi- ‘

ed the necessary convention, there will be a new specialized agency of the United Nations next January. It will be IMCO, which stands for Inter- governmental Maritime Consultative

' ‘ Organization. '

Primary assignment of IMCO, which will hold its organizational as- sembly in London, is to discourage discriminatory and restrictive ship- ping practices by governments and

shippers. In its first years, however,

it plans to limit itself to problems of safety and pollution at sca and to es- tablishing standard regulations for the tonnage measurements of ships.

IMCO will make the 12th special-

Comparative Figures

Figures released by the Metropoli- tan Life Insurance Company indicate that the progress made in this cen- tury toWards lengthening the average life-time of the people of the United

States has begun to level off. (Can-

those for the United States.)

' In 1954 a peak average expectancy of 69.6 years was reached. It was slightly lower in 1955 and about the ,same in 1956. Data now available to the researchers indicate that the 1957 figure will be a little lower than in recent years.

It is interesting to note that ‘ in" 1900 twenty-five per centvof new-born babies would fail to reach their 25th birthday. Now, only 5 per cent are in that category. Half. the children born at the turn of the century had a rea-r‘ sonable chance to survive to age 58. At the present time that number can eXpect to reach 73.

The current fad focuses atten- tion on the great reptiles that dominated the earth long before man appeared. For 120 million yeans they were the lords of creation. In comparison to that last, period, the entire written history of the human race — 6,000 years — has occurred in the wink of an eye. , Di‘nosaums varied widely in size and shape. Some were no bigger than chickens, while the mighty Brachiosaurus reached a length of 80 feet and weighed about 50 tons. He was the largest animal that eVecr lived on land.

Your Glasses

By Herman N. Bllndescn, M-D. DON’T be so rough on your spectacles. Anyone wh o wears glasses knows how very important they are in virtually everything you do. But. I’m amazed at the hap- hazard way most of you handle your glasses. They are precision instruments, you know; instruments upon which your life might depend. So in the interest of preventing cruelty to glasses. let me pass on a few tips from the Better Vision Instithute. HANDLE THEM GENTLY

Whenever you put on your glasses or take them oil, use both shnds and‘hand‘le them gent- Iy to avoid disturbing their align- ment. - v. . -

When you set. them down, he sure they rest upon the side; pieces or rims, t on the lenses. Frequent rublbi against hard surfaces such as tables will soon - scratch the lenses. '

For the same reason, don't put your glasses in your pocket or handbag without first placing them, in a protective case. Coins, keys, nail files. compacts and so forth are apt to do considerable damage to the lenses or frames unless the glasses have some. protection.

GET A GOOD CASE

You can get a good. attractive glass case just about anywhere for very little money.» They‘ come ' in a wide variety of designs and p are made from all sorts of mat- erials,
