Bone of Atikokan, Ontario, was one of the Canadian sol. diers badly beaten by Congolese troops last Saturday, He showed remarkable understanding when he said, in & hos- pital interview, "You can't hold it against them -- they don't know what it's all about" He also summed up, in one simple phrase, the trouble in the Congo. "They don't know what it's all about," UN observers report that a state of virtual anarchy exists in the Congo and the for any appre- ciable change better the immediate future at Leaders of other African states such as Ghana and Liberia have by the childishness and ineptitude of Lumumba and his associates; they are deeply dis- turbed by the antics of the Congolese, who are providing the believers in white superiority with plenty of supporting evidence, And the tribal outbreaks that threaten the existence of the Congo as chances are slim for the in least, been shocked a republic could spread to other newly independent African states, since most of them have boundaries that bear no relation to ethnic groupings or geographic divisions, If it can be managed, a UN trus teeship would be the best solution of the Congo's troubles, with the trustees selected from other Afro-Asian nations which have established, responsible governments. Under the trusteeship, Congolese could be trained in the arts of government, a civil service educated and established, and so on. With the Africans and Asians, trustees other taint of "white" there could be no domination, no suspicion that the UN was being used to restore colonialism, It would be a long and difficult task for the trustees, but the Congolese are clearly incapable of self-government at present. If the UN does not devise some way of schooling them in self- government, there will either be chaos or one country, probably Russia, will slip in enough "advisers" to set up a captive government, The long-range solution is still the one outlined in these columns long be- fore the trouble started in the Congo. Most of the new African states are not natioris but collections of tribes, often hostile to each other, Many do not have the economic means to support independent existence, Their future lies in union or federation with other states, Drugged Driver Menace One of the necessary conditions for safe highway travel, particularly during congested periods, is an alert, relaxed driver, A becomes an in. creasing danger to himself and to others «and he becomes a menace when he takes drugs in any form to keep him awake or to soothe his nerves, That is the word experts, The medical director of one large insurance company puts it this way: "Tranquiliz« tired driver from medical motorists using it have reported seeing imaginary objects suddenly loom up in front of them, or non-existent insects craw] across their windshields.

Today 48 per cent hold this viewpoint, in spite of recent world-wide conflicts and appar ent diplomatic fallures, such as President Eisenhower's cancelled visit to Japan, This Is a larger proportion showing faith In U.S foregn policles than three years ago However, there third of the public which holds that the States Is antagonizing friendly allies.

People who drive after subjecting themselves to the effects of drugs often are more dangerous than persons who mix alcohol and automo= biles." He went on to point out that a person who has had too much to drink often realizes his condition and sometimes has enough sense not to drive, but the one under the influence of a drug many times is not aware that he is affected, One type of stay-awake pill contains the drug amphétamine, a habit-forming drug that affects the heart and nervous system, It can cause hallucinations --= People who use antihistamines to combat motion sickenes "should not drive following consumption of this drug unless they have learned from previous experience that they will not undergo sleepiness or dizzy spells," the medical director stated In other words, drugs are a dangerous substitute for adequate rest and sleep.

Canadians visiting the US, would do well to avoid purchasing these "aids" Blight On Roadsides Some of the most beautiful drives in Ontario have a creeping blight of garish, shoddy roadside Fortunately, the plague of huge billboards that has afflicted the United States has largely been prevented here, but more crummy little tourist traps appear on the Ontario Provincial and muni- stands. roads each year cipal authorities should take steps to halt this blight, It would be a shame if Ontario's scenic routes followed the shoddy course of so many highways the United States.

Then there is the reptile 'garden' in the area, which everyone who loves wild creatures should see ---- not because it is good, but to observe how the animals, scraggly deer, sheep, a bear, as well as the snakes, are cared for, The article goes on to describe how at Gettysburg, a garish red and yellow roadside stand and a service station stand in the heart "of the greatest battle- field on the American continent," dis proving Abraham Lincoln's words that "the brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract." The recital goes on, and the writer cone cludes that "there is a challenge here to private enterprise to exercise mature taste and judgment in the facilities it provides the travelling public. There's also the challenge to the states and local communities to safeguard their roadsides and landscape generally, Above all, perhaps there is a question of pride involved" There is indeed a challenge, here in Ontario. Motorists need roadside facilis ties. They need places where they can eat, drink, sleep, buy goods and services. But these facilities do not need to look like Coney Island honkytonks, as some of the establishments along the roads have demonstrated.

FOR BETTER HEALTH How To Guard Yourself Against Attack Of Polio HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD We are now in the midst of season. Most of celved your Salk vaccine protection some time ago But what about those of you who were not inoculated or who did not have your youngsters in. oculated? What can you do to protect yourselves and your fam ilies? SOME ADVICE Well, let me pass on a little advice The main thing is to keep your general health as good as pos sible. Don't become overly tired. Get to bed a little earlier than usual so you will have an extra amount of rest Avoid becoming chilled. If you do get caught in a rain, change into dry clothes as soon as you possible can AVOID CROWDS Since poliomyelitis is a con tagious disease, avoid crowded places and all unnecessary travel. Many persons have mild, undiagnosed forms of polio and spread the disease unknowingly Naturally, polio is spread more easily among crowds and in con gested places This does not mean, however, that you must keep children from associating with their regular playmates, It is best, though, to keep them separated from groups of children with whom they do not pormally associate Call your doctor if any mem. ber of your family comes down with a fever, sore throat, muscle paing, stiff neck or back weak- Bess or a severe headache that can't be relieved with the usual home remedies The first symptoms of polio are often difficult to distinguish you, I hope from the usual childhood dis. eases such as tonsillitls, influenza and the like, Some of the other early symp- toms include vomiting, drowsi- ness and fretfulness. Fortunately, the vast majority of polio victims suffer no crip- pling after-effects, SEVERITY OF DISEASE The severity of the disease de- pends upon the damage which the pollo viruses cause to the nerve cells controlling the muscles, In most instances, these nerve cells are damaged only slightly, Only when the nerve centers are com- pletely destroyed are the mus. cles controlled by them paralyzed permanently The odds are in your favor.
