whyw it we Hi 5132 mm wm mm av Nelson Touch Teetsof secret atomic weapons by the Brit ish Navy off the northern coast of Australia this aummn Show how for things have changed since the days of Nelson and the other naughty admirals of history But no matter how they change the wea pens and the ships themselves the navy is only as good as the men who operate it And Horatio Nelson would be as successful today as he was in the days of soil Because Nelsons secretth famous Nel son touchin nutshell was the ability to figure out new and better way of doing things You see it exemplified by some great figure in every age in every field of activity Every schoolboy knows that Nelson won the battle of Trafalgar and was fatally wopnded that dayOct 21 1805on his flagship Victory Less well known is the dra matic manner in which Nelson accomplished the decisive victory over the combined French and Spanish fleets on that fateful day The wooden ships dependent on the vag aries of the wind had always fought their battles in the same stylein parallel lines opposite each other slugging away with guns large and small Not Nelson When his great Opportunity came and he found the combined French and Spanish fleets steering in battle array between Cadiz and Gibraltar he made the bold decision He formed his British fleet numerically inferior to the enemy into two columns one led by himself and the other by Admiral Col lingwood Instead Of standing off and slug ging at long range all along the long enemy column Nelson drove the two British columns like spears through the deadly enemy pro cesslon The resulting struggle at close quarters with the enemys rear cut off from the rest saw the enemy fleet shattered Nelson lost his life but Napoleon lost his hopes of conquer ing England And Trafalgar to this day remains not only glorious page of history but tre mendous testimonial to the power of ideas Be ProudOf Our Canada Canadians as maple are tinged with an overabundance of humility modeaty or plain inferiority complex when they consider their own achievements They tend to apologize for conditions and deveiOpments here and to regard accomplish meats inBritaln and the United States as something beyond the capabilities of this na tion Too often they take the attitude that nothing good can come out Of Canada Humility is doubtless good in its place but 730 is pride and Canadians have much of which they should be proud While still retaining the right of construc tive criticism Canadians should be proud of their democratic government which in world tending to extremes has trod middle of the road path They should be proud of the freedom that is theirs of the rights and privileges that have been handed dOWn in trust previousgenerations They should be tiltheir place

Let us then be proud of what our nation of 14 million souls has accomplished is accomp lishing and will accomplish We should be proud of Canada Editorial Notes The major cities of Canada declares Com munity Planner Harold Clark have grown beyond the point where they are efficient in terms of industry and commerce and also beyond the point where they provide happv and satisfactory living With volume of traffic outstripping cap acity many people have wondered why they still see some empty seats on our commercial airlines The main reason says The Finan cial Post is the careless person who books flight and then falls to show up before de parture That sort of thing cost TCA alone almost million in revenue last year and US lines total of over $27 millions The airlines are planning steps to reduce this loss There can be no hardandfast rule for cut ting costs in education Thats the consensus The Christin Science Monitor the house and turn on the stove Really clear they would taste just

businessman OPINIONS or OTHERS Britain Eyes Our Seaway Victoria Times British European and American firms are plann ing to bid on various works involved in the half billiondollar St Lawrence seaway project It is to behoped all of them will be giveu an even chance against Canadian construction companies The sea way will cost agreat dealunder the best of con diilonsThat cosLsbould behold the lowest pow lble minimum by full competition between the con tractors It is no secret that the Canadian government would We to see some of this work go to British contractors awho would thus earn Canadian dollars deeperately needed in Britain Those dollars would all return to Canada in the purchase of Canadian goods But as in the case of other Canadian business Britain must meet the competitive costs of other countries Canada cannot afford to pay for British machinery used on the St Lawrence more than the price offered by Canadian American or European firms The great British engineering industry which is one of the main props of the British expprtlng economy should be in sound competitive positionwhen bids are called on the seaway In this field the British have few if any superiors in Canada we cannot say that we are trying to assist Britainand thus to bolster up our own sagg ing British marketifwe do not give British in dustry the same opportunities as we give our own And assuredly if we refuse to do so if we attempt to apply the principle of protection to our own industries regardless of price the seaway will cost the taxpayers millions more than it should cost In this gigantic undertaking the Canadian govern ment faces political as well as economic problems The politicssince there is no quarrel between Can adian political partles on this scoreare centred in Washington Itcannot be assumed that our difficulties there have all been overcome While Canada can buud the seaway rin ltsown tgory alone the electrical power developments involve an agreement between the state of New York and the province of Ontario The Congressional polit icians ho rejected American participation in the stairway ili certainly try to delay and if possible prevent the New YorkOntario agreement In Washington it is said that such an agreement involving foreign state must finally be ratified by the Senate This is complex constitution question but if Timlidhartlbch noun rufthe gauntlet of the Senate it may well find powerful oppoaltldnihere backed by electrical and railway interests It will bedar better for both countries if the new Senate changed by the election of third of its members in November is ready to cancel the policy of its predecessor and bring the United States as full partnerinto the seaway No mecca be sure offthe new Senates attitude before the election Canada still hoping that the American attitude may change must go ahead on the assumption that it will not mustplan an an Canadian scheme but probably it has not heard the last from the

long ago was the town crier who par aded all over town ringing hand bell to call attention to what he was announcing advertising it would be called now since his place to some extent in later days is

Rheumatism Society in whose support we solicited contributions these were all attended to pgpmpt ly but due to the summer isrup tion ofIschool programs certain fac tors made it advisable not to close out the fund until the September reLopening This has now been dormand we are pleasd to report that total of $20055 has beenforwarded to the Toronto office of the Society By now offical receipts will have been received from there by the various contributors Inreview there are two things that should be mentioned First of these is thefeet that the only means employed for publicizing this worthwhile activity were two newscasts on CKBB and the gener owdlspltayinyourhewspihleLol pictures andappeal coupons For both of these services we are deep ly grateful The second matter for review is the particular reason which prompv ted this activity The moneysent to Toronto was designated as the Vere Jl that we cannot help but feel al manmama lVlSlTORS FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE Bylas Last week we paid visit to Niagara Falls Having visitor at our home from Scotland who had never seen the Falls we felt ihet these sigth would be of par ticular interest We believe that we enjoyed the trip equally with the newcomer There is so much beauly within the boundaries of those few square miles that go OI make up the Niagara Falls Parkl deep debt of gratitude to the for seeing wisdom of the legislators who set aside that tract of land so that others might be free to enjoy all the scenery without hav ing to be subject to the commerI cial competition which might have been rampant had the control not been taken over by the Provincial authorities Standing at the railing one not only sees the falls but one can get close up of people from every part of the world One hears various tongues spoken The license plates on the vehicles lin ing the sidewalks denote that many have journeyed from great dis tances to take in the beauties and gaze on the magnitude of the fam ous cataract While we were there we hap pened to be most fortunate in that tour by the representatives of the Parliaments of the British Commontvealth arrived there that afternoon We saw the bus loads coming along the drive and had hoped that they might be where we could get closer view of them Suddenly the buses swung around at the very place we were and soon we were surrounded by three loads of dstinguished dele gates Among first to reach the railing at the rivers edge were two ladies dressed in the colorful dress of their native India After they had stood and gazed at the horseshoe falls for some minutes without murmur we enquired what they thought of the sight small voice in childlike English answered It is superb beyond words to describe The other said It excells anything have ever dreamed of These two lad ies Mrs Kale member of the Parliament of India and Mrs Madbya Pradesh wife of the Speaker of the House were among the delegates They had known Mahatma Ghandi personally and had worked with him to accom plish the freedom of India We asked if they had to bring goat with them for food supply and they laughineg told us that they ate our foods Standing next to us and listen ing to our conversation was Sir Arthur Henderson British Labor MP who said it was his third trip to Canada When we mentioned our pleasure inmeeting him he in vited us to attend the coronation next summer in England Just write me and will see that you are looked after he said adding that he was greatly enjoy ing the tour and the services be ing given them by our govern ment Then we turned around and read badge on the lapel of Hon

attracted to gure wrapped in enroud and wearing sandals lie was typical of the people we have seen in pictures of characters from the Blble He was small and ay halred Seeing that we were ak lng notes2 of some Of the bits of conversation we were having he opened his glass caseand extract ed his card and in perfect English asked us If we could take picture of him Ills name Was Sris Ch Chatiopadhyaya member of the Assembly of Pakistan ills home is at Karachi Pakistan He told us of his pleasure at being sent as delegate to the Common wealth Assembly in Canada Your country is so wonderful it is so new and different he said He had read about and seen many pictures of the Falls but he did want picture of himself with the great waters behind him We hope to send him one later lie wzu Without doubt the mostl interesting individual we had ever talked to and the fifteenminute stop they were making could cas lly have been taken up with him alone He called over another darkskinned man who wore Eur opean dress and introduced him as Murchlyiu member of the Parliament of India from Calcut to We are very good dricnds he told usns thcycmbraced Mr Murchiyia told us that In dia has 599 members in their Par liament and the only way that an individual member can get an op portunity to speak is by making an application to the Speaker We were joined by Aboal Mon emkham who also wished lobe in the picture and who was on the constituted Assembly of Pakistan This Assembly has the job of cre ating Parliament for their copn try which will then take over government In the meantime they are ruling the affairs There are 78 members of this Assembly one member for each million of population they said Twolothers put their names on paper and passed it to us Ahmad Pakistam and Sudan Amir Azam MP of
