He is, of course, entitled to his opinion; but there will be man.V t'an;uiians who will disagree with it and say that t.lie Government, if it were so inclined, could easily make up the relatixcly small amount re- quired by practising a measure of economy in othei' less deserving de- mands on the public purse. Vet- erans will recall that no such plea for economy was made when mem- bers of Parliament, with Govern- mental sanction, increased their own annual allowances - and very con- siderably, certainly beyond the mer- its of the argument used in support of the increase.

As Mr. John Diefenbaker, P.C. member for Prince Albert, has point- ed out. there is one clause in the present ”Veterans' Charter" which should be amended or stricken out altogether. This is the clause that makes the Pensions Commission the final body of appeal respecting claims. This is a matter in. which interpretation of points of law fre- quently has to be made; and it would seem only right that the courts should be called upon to make it when any dispute regarding I vet- eran's claim is involved. Just why war veterans should be denied a privilege which other citizens enjoy is difficult to understand.

The Cyprus Problem

An 18 - year - old Greek - Cypriot was sentenced to death yesterday under emergency regulations for throwing a bomb at a British mil- itary police barracks in Cyprus. lie was the ninth Greek-Cypriot to re- ceive the death sentence since the emergency started fourteen months ago. Two Cypriots have already been hanged. What is not mention- ed in yesterday's news despatch is the fact that since the troubles started many Britons, a lot of Cyp- riots and an occasional American have been brutally assaulted, maim- ed and murdered without legal right. Britain will come in for more criticism of its handling of the situa- tion in Cyprus, for it is much easier to criticise than to see the facts in their true light. and present them unflinchingly. The Saturday Eve- ning Post, often critical of British policies. has made an honest attempt to do so in a recent issue. This is what it says:

”('yprus is titlil miles from the nearest point on the Greek main- land. It is only forty-four miles from the Turkish Coast. its econ- omic lies--that is, the way it makes its livingrare with Turkey and Great Britain, the present occupy- ing power. Strategically. it is of no direct importance to Greece. but it is vital for Turkey and for the posi- tion of strength which the West must maintain in the Middle East.

"Against the abstract 'right of self-determination', therefore must be set very serious objections on grounds that cannot be ignored w'th safety. Turkey has no complaint about continuance of British sov- ereignty on Cyprus. ' As one of the

anticommunist nations directly un- der Soviet guns, it takes a realistic view of the value of a strong allied base on its offshore island. The vagaries of Greek politics, with its present tendency toward a united front, do not seem to present as strong a guarantee in what may de- velop into a matter of life or death. The recent acts of violence, despite the emotion; behind them, do little tocdd to ithd case for 'IgIl-determ- to Cyptui.

Evidently. he thinks that the ,

the most part a poverty-

should desire a large measure of home rule is natural, and the Brit- ish Government has gone a long way toward satisfying that aspira- tion. But Turkey has a strong case, and so has Great Britain, when they deny, at this time of international tensions. the right of 400.000 Cyp- riots. who have not been Greek sub- jects for several hundred years, to put themselves completely under the control of an unstable government 683 miles away."

Juke Box Religion

iicre are some excerpts from an address delivered by Mr. Arthur J. Patzer. youth secretary of the Ser- enth Day Adventists Conference, at a meeting of the denomination in Kingston. N. J.

"Because we have so in-any peo- ple craving a religion of escape. We

now have a wave of juke box re- ligion with its silly siiallmr senti-

mentality. Song writers are cap- italizing on the trend and with a few pious words the invitation is

given for youth and older ones to ttalk with the Man L'pstairs'. or the question is asked are you friends with the king of kit1gS?'

"It is impossible to harmonize holiness and hepcats, sancti fication and swing. A gangster is as qualified to lecture on honesty as llollywood is to portray the Bible, and a com- edian is as able to bring about a spiritual blessing as swing song writers are to set the pattern for conversion".

Religious leaders are divided in their opinions regarding the char- acter of the new interest in organ- ized religion Whlch 8PD93Y5 to he abroad in Western society. Some maintain it is genuine. Others say it is nothing more significant than a fad which comes and goes in cycles. One thing is certain: it is not being helped by the sort of poptilarizing that Mr. Patzer condemns. One does not need to have any particular in- terest in the denomination to which he belongs to say a fervent ”amcn" to his criticisms.

EDITORIAL NOTES

What's a "stagger grog maker” or a.”dribble man" or a "second half-doer?" The only clue we can disclose is that all three are listed in a British report on occupational interests.

0 Q I

One proof that West Germany is a better place to live in than East Germany is that it has about 20 times as many newspapers al- though its population is only a little more than 3 times as large. This is mentioned in a UNESCO report.

New York's Governor liarriman is reported to be in favour of using the broad and influential Presiden- tial powers to compel the Southern states to honour the Supreme Court's anti-segregation ruling. Ap- parently he is not counting on white Southern support for his presidential aspirations.

U D O

The decision of the federal gov ernment to have all motor boats licensed is one which should be wel- comed by ihe puo.ic. It is a step in the right direction in that it pro- vides proper regulations which must be met. before the license is issued. Thus there will be at least some as- surance that all such craft, before they are allowed to be operateri, meet with strict requirements as to safety and life-saving appliances.

The Soviet ambassador to Brit-

tain is quoted as saying ”I'm for Eisenhower. We can do business with him.” That should help stop

the rumour being circulated by some Republican politicians that the Dem- ocrats, lf elected, would be ”soft on Communism". At the same time, it would be a pity if the ambassadorls preference were to be used against Eisenhower who certainly is no ad- mirer of the Soviet Union however much he may be liked by Soviet diplomats. Q 0 O Somaliland. a country governed by the Trusteeship Council of the United Nations with a tentative promise of independence in 1960, is now being explored for oil. Al- though no oll has yet been found, says a report of the American Geo- graphical Society, geologists claim that the geological structure looks "promising','. It's like this Island in that respect.

Such a mood of rest William Worsworth would have called a "wise passivem-.s.s." It is not mere- ly idleness. waste of life. It is rather. an invitation to truer un- derstanding Too much acticity may often result in little action: the very effort of living may wear life itself away. For the soul. rest may mean growth MYSTERIOFS GROWTH

Not far away from Walden Pond the Boston preacher. William III- lcry Channing. was finding, in his own way. that the soul may grow mysteriously. like corn in the night.

"There is often a mysterious growth of the mind." he was writ- Inn: in 1842, "which we can trace to no particular efforts or studies. which we can hardly define, though we are conscious of it, We tinder- stand ourselves and the past, and our friends and the world better.

Awed spectators have called the scene "a mcnagerie of eter- nity." a place of peace and re- vcrcnce and ”a hushed Wagner." One unimpressed writcr said it was "a pale, pink joke” that ir- ritated him.

Helen Hunt Jackson. author of ”Raniona.” and long resident of Colorado Springs, observed that appreciation of the region's rare beauty was something to be learn- ed "like a new language." But the term "garden." she felt. was unsuited to such a wild, barren. and arid spot.

Lack of water for crops or live- stock discouraged early home- steaders. it was 1379 before rail- way magnate Charles Elliott Per- kins purchased 240 acres for a summer retreat. But he built no home on the site. and during his lifetime indicated he wished it left for public enjoyment.

In 1909, after Perkins' death, his heirs donated the property. by then 480 acres. to the city of Colorado Springs. Later, more land was added. bringing the fam- ous Balanced Rock into the park area.

He had completed his history of the French Revolution. The manuscript had gone to his friend, John Smart Mill, for comment. will came one night to Carlyle'I house in Chelsea, his face ghastly. In anquish he told Carlyle that by accident the whole manuscript had been destroyed in the fireplace.

Carlyle tried to set to work It once to write the manuscript out again from memory. But thg wear- y mlnd sickened at the task. There was only one hope: to do nothing.

Woeful Story

(Ottawa Journal)

In the House of Commons this week Mr. Carter, I Liberal mem- ber from Newfoundland, told a 1101'? of woe and lamenmtion, it concerned the hardships suffered by members of Parliament in at- tendance hn their duties in the capital.

Mr. ('artcr said it was "quite a sacrifice" for him to spend the Summer in Ottawa when his lh0URlits were turning to balmy breezes from the Atlantic and the smcll of salt water and seaweed. And these long sessions, the MP continued. interfered with family life. interfere too with his political fence-mending. and making the rounds of his island riding in Dec- ember was ”nn picnic". He could make it in more comfortable cir- cumstances. he argued. if the House did not sit most of the sum- mcr.

And speaking again of his ne- rificcs as a family man Mr. Cartei said his children will be back in school when he gets home from this session and he will have no time with them. ReIlIy, for this sort of thing his remuneration of Sll.000 I year plus I tIx-free 52,000 for ex- penses was no compensation at Ill, he declared. "There are many easier way: of earning I living.” TWO SUGGESTIONS

Mr. Carter had two suggestions to make which might in some small way make up for his sacrifices to good government. He hoped that from now.on "we shall make I regular practice of hlving clos- ure on every bill," and he advo- cated "air travel privileges" (meaning free passes over Trans- Canada Air Lines! to Illow mem- bers to spend ”the odd weekend" with fnmlly and oonstiuents.

Strangely enough Mr. Carter did not reach the conclusion that would have seemed the natural did not announce his resignation as I member, or even my he would not seek election to tholnext parliament. No doubt when the election is called Mr. Carter will indicate his readiness if not his eagerness to accept the hardships Ind sacrifice: of parliamentary duty even though it means thIt for Iomernoltllofthoynlrhe mull give up the balmy Atlantic breezes and lnuldl of tlqoeon.

DON'T rum" cannons on name iuiw I-oak:

Trlchlnnlls II probably one of

. the easiest deseuel to prevent. Yetht

'I ellimatod that some 22.- ooo.ooo persons may have thin strength-draining disease.

Trlchlnne are tiny worms. too to be recognized by the naked eye. which infest the body's muscles. Acute trlchinosls not only II very weakening. but also oxtrlexnely painful. Sometimes it is fan.

UNCOOKED MEAT

Virtually all cases of trlchinolls in the United States have been traced directly to uncooked pork oragork product. A few cases have een traced to uncooked bear meat.

Swine acquire the worms by eat- ing infected rodents or refuse. Hawaii. Canada and England re- quire that all garbage must be cooked store it is fed to hogs.

SIMPLE RULE

"woking. you see. destroys both adult worms and the larvae. And that is the simple rule for pre- venting trichlnosls.

Never eat. raw or partially cook- ed pork. Be sure you buy good quality meat from your butcher.

Pink pork m:y be dangerous. Cook it thoroughly until it is gray throughout. t

Some of you undoubtedly enjoy ” .nibal sandwiches" of raw ground beef. If you plan to eat uncooked ground beef. I think its I good idea to grind it yourself at home.

Trichinae aren't found in raw beef. However, your butcher's grinding machine might contain I small amount of ground pork from I previous sale Ind, inadvertently, you plight get some of this mixed i with the beef. You donlt want to take a chance of eating uncook- ed pork.

ANOTHER WAY

Freezing raw pork is another gW8Ygof killing the trichinae. Freez- ing it I zero. degrees Fahrenheit and ' i It at this lemperaturo for 72 hours will render it non- infective.

Most home freezers maintain temperatures ranging between zero to 5 above.

But don't eat raw pork nn mat. ter how long it's been frozen. Be safe. Cook it thoroughly.
