The 29-year-old princess, her fiance, the Queen Mother and their staffs had to work on the guest lists before the invitations could go out. The abbey can ac- commodate only about 2,000 guests, so some "paring" may have been involved. In addition, there have to be invitations and guest lists for functions connected with the wed- ding, and the lord chamberlain, using a seating plan provided by the abbey, must work out the abbey seating in order of rank for the marriage ceremony itself.

Discussing the pattern of cause and effect, he adds that "a psy- chological insult leads to physical changes" and that "psysical dis- turbances create mental havoc." 'Medical advances will be on the psychological side." WORLD LEADERS Regardless of which branch of science prevails, the Allan and the MNI are international pace- setters in their fields, combining broad vision with sound science to help make Montreal one of the world's leading medical cen- tres. While autonomous, both are linked with the Royal Victoria Hospital and McGill University. Dr. D. Ewen Cameron, psy- chiatrist-in-chief of the Royal Vic- toria Hospital and chairman of the department of psychiatry at McGill, says the Allan, set up un- der his direction in 1943, is a pilot [plant for the province. "It was the first psychiatric division of a general hospital to be opened in the province. Now there are 19. It was the first psy- chiatric hospital in Canada operate purely on the open-door basis, and now its lead is being followed in every province in Canada. "It was the first general hos- pital (in the world) to establish a day hospital, and now day hospitals are being set up, based on the Allan Memorial Institute, in every continent. "The extent of the recognition of the part played by the Allan Memorial Institute as a pilot plant is shown in the fact that while the first World Congress of Psychiatry was held in Paris in 1950 and the second World Con- oress was held in Zurich in 1957, the third World Congress is to be held in Montreal in 1961 with the Allan Memorial Institute as the organizational headquarters."

Dr. Penfield's success with sur- gery on the open brain brought {fame to the $4,000,000 institute and to himself. His equally bril- liant colleague, Dr. W. V.

CRIMINAL MIND Physically sound habitual crim- inals are not mentally ill by usual definitions but they are socially sick, says Dr. Cormier, 40-year- old psychiatrist at St. Vincent de Paul penitentiary, assistant pro- fessor at McGill and an Allan staff member. "We are putting in doubt the concept of reward and punish- ment for certain types of crim- inals." Once a person is outside the system of goals and deterrents that keep ordinary people on the straight and narrow, he says, punishment ceases to exert much influence on him. Punishment in massive doses, such as long prison sentences, helps little. Other treatment is needed. handles versity teachers.

Rabbit C By JAMES HUSSEY Canadian Press je BURIN, Nfld. (CP)-- Rabbits, aimost extinct in Newfoundland for five or six years, are making a comeback. It's a happy devel- opment for this island where rab- bit meat is a popular food. The rise in population of the usually prolific rodent is attribu- ted in part to the upward turn in what older hunters say is a nine-year cycle. Another factor appears to be that their natural enemies, fox and lynx, have left many sec- tions of the interior for the coast where fish offal and other feed are more abundant. Since the rabbit season opened last Oct. 15, thousands have been sold to retailers and householders despite a provincial law which prohibits sellng, preserving . or canning rabbit meat. CAME FROM MAINLAND Rabbits were introduced into Newfoundland by Stephen Ren- dell during the 1870s. Brought from the Maritimes, they quickly took to their mew environment. They provided the Sunday roast for families in hundreds of small settlements and until recently were a regular part of the diet of trappers and woodsmen. Hunters who depended on catching rabbits for their liveli- hood sought cheap methods of taking the rabbits when they found shooting was slow and un- the omeback In Newfoundland They observed that the animals nt (usually travelled on easily rec. ognizable trails and a snare was invented. The first snares were made of twine and were com- mon until about 30 years ago- when wire snares came into use. These, however, raised a prob lem. Wire does not deteriorate quickly and many men carelessly left their snares se! all year. In the spring when the snow be- gan to disappear the wire traps entangled thousands of breeding animals. This meant fewer ani. mals to catch the next year and generally contributed to the de- clirie of the rabbit population dur- ing the 1940s and early 1950s. NEW REGULATIONS Today persons who snare rab. bits must remove the traps from the woods at the end of each sea- son, _. Regulations provide for a shoot~ ing season from Oct. 15 to Nov. 30. The snaring season runs from Oct. 15 to March 15. There is no limit to the number of rabbits that may be taken. A ban on sale of rabbits was imposed in 1950 as a conserva. tion measure. Canning has also been prohibited since it was felt that commercialization would fur- ther deplete the population. During the years the restrie- tions have been in effect, trap. pers in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick found a profitable market in Newfoundland and large quantities of tinned rabbit economical. were imported from Australia.

Because complications are elim- inated, the average stay in hos- pital for patients requiring brain siirgery is an 'unbelievably low" 17 to 18 days.

Coffin has confided to his constituents that Canada's External Affairs Min- ister Howard Green "looks, acts and talks like a shrewd, kindly, soft-spoken, down-east Yankee." Coffin, Democratic representa- tive for Maine, escorted Green during the Canadian minister's recent tour of the United States capital. He came away from that meeting with the feeling that as long as Green is external affairs minister, Canada won't be "short- patients.

"As I took him through Sta- tuary Hall, I pointed out the statue of Maine's first governor, William King. He stopped volun tarily before Will Rogers' life- like statue. I remarked that this was probably because of the underlying similarity between the two- which has been remarked by observers. Green has proven to be the possessor of the same kind of dry humor. "As w eleft Statuary Hall, I pointed to Daniel Webster's sta- tue, covered with a drop cloth. It was Webster who negotiated with Lord Ashburton of Great Britain the treaty defining the Maine-Canada border. It appar- ently was a fair treaty because the United States felt Webster had sold it short while Canada was so incensed with Ashburton's performance that the treaty was used as an argument for Cana- fused to sit in the Speaker's chair.

TV-RADIO COLUMN 'Aquarodeo' For Kiddies By CYNTHIA LOWRY NEW YORK (AP)--Television came up with something really new this weekend: Roy Rogers in a yachting cap and Dale Evans in a middy blouse . But, frankly, a full hour of skin divers grappling with sharks 27 feet down in a pool and skin divers riding on the backs of turtles and whales is more fas- cinating entertainment for the doubt, however, that denizens of the deep will ever really replace Roy and Dale did their smiling all very nautical--to enliven this NBC aquarodeo. Over on CBS there was in pro- ing comedy treatment of the princess and the pea story. It's] not that this can't be funny-- there is a Broadway hit based on the same folk tale currently do- ing very well. But this adaptation called The Ugly Duckling, with More Fun Than Adults warried king, was neither witty nor high-spirited. BICKERSONS RUDE On NBC a musical variety show occupied the Sunday Show- case spot. Frances Langford was hostess-star, and she's a singer with a nice way with a song. The special was notable for a revival of one if those old Bickerson sketches she and Don Ameche used to do on radio. Miss Lang- ford and Ameche, playing hus- band and wife, snarled glibly back and forth. But hurling poison-tipped barbs has become such routine television that the Bickersons just sounded ill-tem- pered and rude. Alfred Hitchcock on CBS came up with a suspense drama which was extremely well done. It in- volved an English tycoon on an ocean voyage meeting a man he thought he had murdered years before. Eri» Portman played the ter rified millionaire who feared re- venge," and Oscar Homolka was Joanna Barnes as the plain prin- cess and Oscar Homolka as the the man who was supposed to be dead.
