Page 6 Wednesday, May 25, 1960 More U.S. Satellites But Bigger Soviet Lift The huge space ship-satellite sent into orbit by the Russians on the eve of the ill-fated Paris conference was the 23rd successful launching by the United States and USSR since Sputnik I ushered in the space age on Oct. 4, 1957. The scoreboard shows that the United States have succeded in sending up more satellites than the Soviets, but the latter have managed to put much heavier payloads into space. Five of the 23 satellites have been Russian and 18 American. In addition the Russians have launched three deep space probes, with one of them in orbit around the sun, The United States has two successful probes to its credit, with both projectiles orbiting around the sun. There are 14 satellites now in orbit around the earth, 11 American and three Russian, although there is some doubt about one of the U.S. space vehicles. Important scientific results have been scored by the satellites of both nations. For the Americans, Explorer I in 1958 discovered the Vann Allen belt of radia- tion; Discoverer I was the first satellite put into polar orbit; and other space vehicles have measured the earth's magnetic field, tested communications from deep space, helped answer prob- lems of recovery that must be solved In Midst Of Plenty Much of the flooding that has occurred as a result of heavy rains in recent weeks would have been far less serious had sensible conservation practices been followed by earlier generations of Cana- dians. Those who watched rich soil be- ing washed by roiled streams into the lakes might have pondered along the lines of the following, written by Ralph McGill in a Consolidated News feature: In the ancient places on the earth where man first was and where recorded history began, what brings a sense of awe and excitement to the traveler is the sight of cities dead now for thou sands of years. There is a stirring of the mind, too, in seeing their ruins in deserts, knowing that once there were fields and vineyards there, wells, aque- ducts and irrigation streams; that once caravans came laden with' spices and foods; that once children ran and played where now are ruins and desert. One can find them -- the filled in wells, stretches of pain-stakingly made aque- ducts bringing water from district slopes, deep dug cisterns and old terraces where once Crops grew. Nothing strikes the traveler more for- cibly than the fact that vast amounts of land, now desert, once were fertile, cultivated. "What happened?" I asked an arche- ologist. "They cut the trees," he said they began early. You recall Solomon "and Time For Car Checkup That every motorist should see that his car has a spring check-up in prep- aration for the approaching months of warm weather driving is the timely advice of the British Columbia Auto- motive Association. "While modern cars are engineered to require less attention than some years ago," the association states, "a twice - a - year check-up still is good insurance for safe and dependable op- eration" The association appends this step-by-step check list: The Osha Times T.

It is difficult to assess, however, the relative values, from a strictly scientific standpoint, of the U.S. and Russian probes. The Americans, with their more numerous vehicles, may have obtained answers to more ques tions, but the Russians have clearly an advantage in lifting big loads into space, The U.S. satellites have all been small, because of the limited thrust of their rockets; Vanguard I weighs only three and a quarter pounds, while the largest of the Discoverer series weighs 1700 pounds. The Russians' Sputnik III was a giant instrument carrier that weighed almost 3000 pounds. Lunik I was the first deep space probe, Lunik II hit the moon and Lunik III circled the moon, took photos of the hidden side, trans- mitted the pictures back to earth and then went into orbit around the earth. Reports on their space-ship satellite have HOPE DIAMOND been sketchy. Probably the Russians must be given QUEEN'S PARK an edge in the space race. They have all the "firsts" and are ahead of the Americans on development of rocket thrust. By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- It would seem inevitable that the government will get into the automobile insur- ance business in some form or other, The select committee on com- pulsory insurance has been quite concerned about "2ssigned risks." These cover marginal cases where a committee of insurance company representatives decides whether or not a driver can have insurance. There is some feeling that there should be government control with 'a final say over this group. Some states do have this, But whether we would put it in here is questionable. There is no question, however, of the determination of the mem- bers of the committee that every sending men to cut the cedars of Le- baron. He sent three sets of 10,000 men each. Ancient Egypt had thousands of woodcutters on the Lebanon moutains and carried on a huge lumber export business 5,000 years ago. Cedars. of Lebanon went into Solo- mon's temple on Jerusalem's high hills. Cedars of Lebanon were built into the places of kings in Persepolis, a thousand miles from where they were cut. The Romans continued the destruction. Oh, how the ancients cut trees, and they never planted a seedling. Government Control { In Car Insurance car on the road in Ontario must carry insurance. One suggestion that has been made is that a fund be estab- lished to provide for those drivers who can't get insurance through regular channels. It would be run on somewhat the same basis as workmen's compensation. That is drivers would be rated up according to their accident record. Life carries on. Premier Frost having gone through probably the most rugged session in the province's history still is not letting up. Mr. Frost has taken the oc- casional long week-end but for the most part he is following the usual full schedule. On one day this week, for in- stance, he laid a corner-stone at the new Harbour Light alcoholic centre of the Salvation Army here in Toronto at two o'clock. At three o'clock he officiated at the formal acceptance by the province of the ship's bell of the H.M.C.S. Ontario, and then that night he was in Sudbury at a ceremony for the new Huntington University, Did somebody say politics was a snap? SORRY STORY Incidentally, H.M.C.S. Ontario had a strange life full of ill-fate. It was a fighting cruiser that couldn't find a fight, Commissioned in 1945, it was just ready for action when the European war ended. Sent to the Pacific it arrived there just in time to be too late again. Never in its period of service was it able to fire a gun in anger. Now it is scrapped and its bell will remain in the buildings here as a testimonial to a good ship that was never given the chance to prove itself, "Then the winds came and blew the treeless soil. The seasonal rains washed the soil from the slopes and tore great canyons in the valleys and the goats and sheep came, with their cutting feet. When the land about the cities was dead the cities died". In great, rich surplus America where vast amounts of wheat, corn, rye and oats are stored in government granaries; where we have too much butter, too many potatoes, too much cotton--even here we have been shaken out of our complacency. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM It's a toss-up as to which is more unbecoming to a woman, over-filled slacks or under-filled sweaters. "Penicillin will cure a person of lion bites," says a physician. He means, of course, if there is enough of the person left to be cured. Statistics can be highly mis- leading if they aren't properly analyzed. For example, the fact that it is rare that anybody gets killed riding a lion doesn't indi- cate that it is comparatively safe to ride a lion. Great cities tremble and see that if pollution of streams isn't halted there will not be enough water to drink. More and more farm land is given over to in- dustry and the pressure grows on what is left. Suddenly in the midst of too much, a fear begins to gnaw. "Florida Hen Lays Half-Pound Egg." Headline. She must have been frightened by a grape- fruit. "Whale's milk is twice as rich in vitamins as cow's milk," says a dietitian. Even so, it is usually more convenient and easier to milk a cow. 1.

Correspondent for The Oshawa Times LONDON -- British firms are not sitting down idly and doing nothing about the challenge of the European Common Market. Some of them are looking ahead to the day when there will be absolutely free trade between the six coun- tries of the common market -- West Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Holland and Luxem- bourg, while there will be a tariff wall against imports from the outside world, At least 30 British firms are actively investigating the possibilities of establishing factories in the area around Ca- lais in France, and two large concerns have already made their decisions to do so, This move has been somewhat stimulated by the action of the French government, which has been greatly concerned about the large amount of unemployment in the Calais area, It has offered spe- cial inducements to British firms to establish factories in that part of France, and these are highly attractive, FRENCH CONCESSIONS The French authorities have ear-marked a 200-acre-site at' Ca- Two British firms have decided to take advantage of this oppor- tunity to establish a bridgehead within the Common Market areas, to take advantage of the six - country free trade arrange- ments. One of these British firms manufacturing a wide range of toys, is to start building a new plant at Calais in the near fu- ture. It expects to begin produc tion early in 1961. At the outset, it will be able to provide jobs for 400 French workers, and this is expected to rise to 1,000 within two years, Toys from this plant will be able to compete on equal terms in the whole of the common market area with those from West Germany, FACTORY AT CALAIS The other British company tak. ing advantage of the French offer is the large Courtanld's or ganization, A factory Is now bee ing built for it at Calais, in which it will produce a synthetic fibre, It will be able to provide jobs for 200 more of the Calals unem- ployed when it goes into produes tion early next year, Mons, Jacques Vendroux, mayor of Calals, and a brother-in. law of President de Gaulle, has been in London looking into the lais for industrial devel t The special terms which are of- fered to British firms establishing plants in Calais include French government loans up to £370,000, subsidies of 20 per cent on the cost of erecting new buildings, and local tax concessions for the first five years.

The BANK of NOVA SCOTIA MEET UNEXPECTED EXPENSES with a low-cost loan through SCOTIA PLAN GALLUP POLL Work Question Still Foremost By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Canadians cling stubbornly to the belief that unemployment is the main problem facing Gov- ernment today. Whatever Otta- wa"s opinion on the situation may be, there has been practically no change in public opinion on the matter since two years ago. To- day 42 per cent rank unemploy- ment as the main problem before Ottawa. This compares with 41 per cent who did so in 1958, Up in second place is concern about the economic situation, financial problems and credit, Threat of war and concern over control of the nuclear race is third today. Last October it was down in the seventh rank. ing. In the rise and fall of public Unemployment situation Economic situation; financial Working for peace; threat of war; fear of atomic power; trying to control nuclear race Rising cost of living; inflation Education Health and welfare; lack of hospitals; housing Trade; need of markets National defence; weapons; Juvenile delinquency Farm situation; satisfying the farmers Immigration Miscellaneous Don't know, no opinion (Some named more than one) Regionally the pulse of opinion varies a good deal on what are main problems before the Gov- ernment, Here, for example, are attitudes on the first four. As the reorg anizing defence worries as charted by the Gall- up Poll over 20 years, labor diffi- culties have dropped to such, a small position today that they are out of the main list of prob- lems. Immigration, out of line-up for some time, enough people to be again. New to the list is appre- hension over juvenile delin: quency.

There are reasons, of course, for this increase. And we think we know what one of the pri- mary reasons is. We believe that the decrease in the number of deaths from the infectious diseases such as pneu- monia, diphtheria, tuberculosis, and the like, means that more children are living longer now to contract cancer. : SAME REASONING The same reasoning apparent. ly applies to the increase in cane cer cases among the elderly dur- in3 the last few decades. Moreover, many children are born with malignant tumors. We also are detecting many more cases of cancer among chil- dren than we did heretofore. Approximately 12 per cent of all deaths between the ages of one and 14 can be traced to some form of cancer. More than half of the cases of leukemia begin before the age of five Childhood cancer is somewhat different from the disease uswak ly found in adults in that it often occurs In sites seldom lnvelved in adult cancer.
