NOV. 13. 1853 Visiting President Today Canada welcomes the President of the United States as he arrives in Of- tawa with Mrs. Eisenhower for a two-day visit to the Canadian capital. It is no stranger or foreigner that is being wel- comed. Either word applied to the Presi- dent would evoke nothing but amusement from the typical Canadian. There is a very special relationship between this country and our neighbour arising, perhaps, from the multitude of family bonds for there are more Canadians with relatives in the excellent understanding of one another's of close association. Long before he became President Cana- dians knew and respected Eisenhower as the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe and later as commander of N.A.T.O. forces on that continent. In both commands he could be regarded by this country's forces as their own chief in that field. When he addresses the joint session of the Houses of Parliament tomorrow he will be received with as much respect and af- fection and infinitely less hostility than if he were addressing Congress. The President, on his part, is well aware of the exact con- stitutional position of the body he is ad- dressing and of the international status of thiscountry. The occasional tendency for subordinates to overlook the existence of an international boundary has always been promptly rectified and the proper pride of Canadians in their nationhood recognized and respected. optimistic forecast Taking a look at the future of Canada over a ten-year period, the marketing re- i search services department of Canadian General Electric Company makes some in- teresting observations. The company's ex- perts foresee an increase in the population ,of Canada by 3.3 millions by 1963 and a corresponding upsurge in "family forma- tion" as the large number of post World War If children "reach the marriageable age and enter the labor force. However, along the road to 1963 there will be R few rough spots. The economists figure that the gross national product will be interrupted slightly in 1954, 55 and 56. But by 1956 the 1953 level should be reach- ed again and then should straighten away for a further 50 per cent increase in the next six years. "The low point of the dip," says the re- port-1956-”will coincide with a reduc- tion in business investment in plant and equipment, as the post-war expansion of in- dust.rial capacity tapers off. Overproduction of some lilies such as automobiles and farm equipment will be reflected in an accumula- tion of inventories, and will be followed by a drop in industrial production." But the next year will find economic conditions on the steady climb to improvement. ables, including defence agricultural output. defence expenditures is that they will re- 'liizhly illlDl'0i2Zll.)lC that, with a strong Rus- sia, dcfcncc cxpendilums will fall much be- low .'5l.0()0 million." the report adds. Leiigtliened Life Span Gerontology is the study in aging, and f)r. Nathan W.'Shock is chief of that sec- tion of the National Heart Institute. He is quoted in a Toronto exchange as stating that the average person's life expectancy on this continent has now reached 69.3 3931'-V Compared to 63 years ten years ago. The progression in the longevity rate is continuing without any indication that it wiil be interrupted. Dr. Shock added. There . has been.a gain of almost 10 years in the average life span since 1939 and more than 20 years since 1900. Women have an ad- vantage over men with respect to longevity, and the average white person's life span is longer on this continent than that or the Negro. According to Dr. Shock the lengthening life span is due chiefly to, the advances that gbove been and continue to be made in med- -loci and social sciences. Most "of the pro- - ,1)-for has been made in protecting viewpoint which has grown with the years: it trol of chronic diseases of middle and later life. When advances have been made in these areas it may be expected that the average length of life probably will be mar- kedly improved. The lengthening life span has created some special problems for communities and the nation. Chief among them is the neces- sity,to provide maintenance, medical and hospital care, social services and occupa- tional interests for the aging population. Ways must be found to meet more fully economic and social needs of this increas- ing group. It should be possible to make longer life bring greater happiness and a sense of fulfilment. 500 To Die by Fire Thli year. judging by pvt performances, approximately 500 Canadians will die in I, . . F files, is the arresting statement appearing in the current issue of "Health and Wei- fare." Of this number about 200 will be men. .100 women, and the rest children. And ill. addition to these fatal burnings, many times 500 men, women and children ' i ”Ul0- will be injured, some permanently disabled States” than lacking them and also froniiop disfigured. According to statistics of past years the ast majority of fires this year will occur in homes. A poor second will beshops and factories. Theatres, schools and hospitals are well down on the list. Each year the resumption of home heat- ing is marked by a rash of fires due to de- fective furnaces or heaters, obstructed chimneys and careless installation. Many ,of these fires occur at night, and these are - among the most deadly of the killers. By far ,the majority of residential fires, it is believed, would never have occurred if ordinary fire-prevention rules had been ob- served. Carelessness, the experts say, sets more fires than any other cause. Although defective heating systems cause a great many fires in Canadian homes, by far the most impontant factor in this type of tragedy is smokers' careless- ness. EDITORIAL NOTES Canada is becoming a favorite place for industries of various countries to establish branch plants. It is far from a new phenomenon but the trend has been ac- centuated by the encouragement given by Provincial governments, notably Ontario and Newfoundland. When Dr. G. Brock Chisholmresigned as director-general of the World Health Organization he reported sadly that he had become a compromiser-"and it does affect one's thinking." It is, of course, necessary to make a choice. Politics is the science of compromise but the search for truth cannot accept the -merely expedient. O The defeat of Sir Winston Churchill's Government on a vote to annul cc-ntrols on imported glassware is not regarded as a sufficiently major issue to require the Gov- ernment to resign. It would have been well, however, to have had the Bill labelled GLASS, HANDLE WITH CARE.

He was brought up to his father”s profession of engineer, learning much of lighthouse build- ing and the ways of the sea. He then be- came an advocate but never practiced law. Writing was always his delight and he strove constantly to develop his literary style, He married in the United States but had to live much of his life in the South Seas for reasons of health. The Samoans knew him as the "teller of tales", and in- deed he is incomparable in that role. 9 0 A very ancient judicial again before the courts. Trial by jury superceeded trial by combat and .other procedures but unless a man "put himself on his country" the new method of trial by jury could not be used. "Paine forte ct dure" was resorted to induce accused per- sons to elect jury trial but it was not until 1772 that in England standing mute was taken as a plea of, guilty. Now a Toronto lawyer has argued that jury trials are un- constitutional in Ontario because the selec- tion of a jury is a matter of criminal pro- cedure and consequently a Federal matter problem is rather than being the constitution of courts which would be Provincial. , ; THE GUAl(UiAlV.

ITALY AND TRIESTE Sir,-in these days of inter- nationalWension, impassioned ap- peals to sentiment. serve only to aggravate the situation. When readers are given the cold facts. they are not. so liable to get. hot under the collar. I think this ap- plies to the situation with regaid to Italy and Trieste. Trieste was built by the Aus- trians in 1860. Almost. sixty years later it was ceded to ltaly at the l9l9 peace conference. In April 1945, there was a race for Trieste, and the Allies reached the city just in time to stake out a claim and prevent Tito from annexing it. The disputed territory was div- ided by General Morgan (BritiIh) into Zone A. which includes and surrounds Trieste, and Zone B. which is Slovene country. The Slovenes have been Latin Cath- olics for one thousand years and more. No wonder, then, that they would prefer Italian rule to Com- munlst Tito rule. . I am, Sir, etc. W. J. ENRIGHT. Charlottetown. ' THE NOBEL PRIZE AND LATIN sir.-The discussion by Pro- Latin in a recent imue of The Guardian caught my atten-tlon. It is interesting and this time, I can- not argue. Rather I endorse Pro- Latinla argument. May 1, how- ever, plead on behalf of Mrs. Frank and her sense of personal triumph (laughter-tipped) in that Sir Winston Churchill was a.wcid- ed the Nobel Prize for English literature. Like Pro-Latin, I nni inclined to doubt the "no Latin" state- ment about. Sir Winston, even though supported by personal confession. That he faced an ex- amination in it once, failure or no, is at least evidence that he "studied" it. But, supposing he has no Latin. and. as an artist. succeeded with- out it, in reaching the heights of art.irIt.le supremacy in l'.t.ei'at.ure. it does not prove that, in general. Latin is not a necessity to the successful student or to a well- rounded. education tending to en- rich the life. in addition to pro- vlding a means of living, when we remember that. with it iiaturnlly gifted artist. a little education goes a long way-a "much" lorrzcr way than it. goes with the student who is not so gifted. Shakespeare ox- celled in competition with univer- sity graduates, though the summit: of his degree was the Village High School - including a little Latin and Greek that went so much further with him, than with his contunporcries who had years of university schooling behind them. Likewise, as Pro-Latin contends, Abraham Lincoln with A few books, a blazing pine-torch lamp, and the little red school house, includ- ing Latin as a subject. as did all the early schools--with these simple aids, the gifted statesman. thinker and artist rose to the heights of kincehip in its truest. sense. and having given his life for the emancipation of mankind, left us two gems of litera- turn that will stand the test. of time and art's a plishment: his speech at. Gettysburg and his letter of sympathy to tmc mother cf flve Iionc killed in the Civil Wiir, that ended in 1866. With respect. to Sir Winston Ohurohiu.

In analyzing this enchant- ment. I have come to the con- clusion that besides the worth of the accomplishment itself, one is awed by the fact that. they have done so much with so little. This quality of achievement was none the less apparent in the preparations rude for us both at the University of Mysore where we attended lectures and at the hos- tel of the Maharajah's College where we lived. The nest. cream- colored buildings had recently been water-painted, while the sticky doors showed that pre-monsoon humidity requires longer drying- time for oil-paints than was avail- able betwecn their College closing time and our arrival. Dlnlng room facilities for most Indian students are not very elab- orate as they dispose of their rice- fare while seated on the floor. For us though they had procured linen- covered tables well set with flow- ers and served by uniformed walt- ers. An unknown luxury for most. of us was the presence of ii. large number of personal servants or ”bearers." The call. 1 ”Bcarerl", would bring a bare-footed young man scurrying about to fulfil the desires of "Sahib", who coming from the West, would likely reward special attention with I "bak- sheesh" or aims. Following the British custom they would serve early-morning tea in bed, get. our boiled water and such things, while a naive creature dreamed about the results should he call, when back home: "Bearer, get me some water please." The answer being evi- dent, we enjoyed it all the more! a . . Considering the circumstances, I think the greatest. miracles took place in the kitchens. Judging by the tasty dinners and masterly des- serts it. was difficult to imagine such could come from the means at the disposal of the few cooks. For reasons other than one would ordinarily imagine, I paid frequent visits to the kitchen each one be- coming more interesting than the previous.

In conclusion I should like to add,thct, thougfh art in litera- ture may triumph with a small knowledge of Latin, at times. and in rare instances, the scholar or artist. mlaoeo much that in broad- ening and enriching to thought and life through the inability to read directly with appreciation, tlicold worldbookc in the language of the artist. himself who but knew how to tunc the language to his cuncophwc; and I do not think that any "inhalation" is 'oapcblc of conveying to the read- er the plenurablc satisfaction that comes with reading first hand of Virgil or any of tho ancients, in their original Ioncuco. from the translation: you get. one man's intrprcoction of the thought.

All had worked for the British at one time or another and from them had learn- ed their culinary arts and the Eng- lish language. They bemoaned the departure of the British for with the British went their jobs. For one man, the father of a large family, this was the first job in nine months. Even now with work it was difficult. to get along because work such as theirs paid little. The actual salary was about 89.75 per month plus 9. living bonus of about 82.75 a month. giving them less than what many people in Canada get in one day. Out of this 9. man with it anzali family could afford sufficient rice for at least two meals a. day: he could rent a room or two in the poorer sections of the town and still not have it penny for anything else. For clothing, education and enter- taiment he has to depend on chance.

It was for from decent but yet better than many other areas. While talking to one of the servants at the hostel he very proudly announced that his home was in this section and then pro- ceeded to describe how lucky he was having what; he termed wide clean streets. open spaces for fresh air and 9. whole room. for his wife and two children. Such joy that was his for having received so much made me feel very uncom- foi-table. Then he saddened.

It places the number of abnormal drinkers In the province at 48,000. The im- urc represents about one percent of Ontario's populatioxi. c propor- tion large enough to warrant the most. energetic possible measures to tackle what is essentially a mental health problem. Unfortu- nately, little has been done in Canada, except among private or- ganlzatlona, to deal with the issue thing but praise for "their treat- ment. The institution of caste is like- ly most to blame as servants are usually of I. low caste if not out- casts. Thus their unclvii treat- ment. receives a social and religious sanction. Among those of narrow orthodox Hindu tradition, the snub- bing of another human being is not to be surprised at. but to hear a. "y-educated university student or professor bark at his "bearer", one sometimes wonders if they know what they mean when they speak of "honor", "democ- racy" and "brotherhood".

Knowing both Christian and Hindu workers 1 have I firm belief and sconviction that the former have I certain manly bearing, self-respect. and self-ucurcncc not had by those nurtured in Hindu practices. The honor and integrity of man are never so higlfly valued as in the writings of the Old and New Test.- aments or the teaching of the Christian Church.
