"That's just one part of the security arrangement. We have to comply with about 50 regula tions to make sure the Bomarcs are not sabotaged or fired de- liberately or accidentally. "Do I think the Bomarc is) safe? Yes, I do. I don't think the people in Canada have much to worry about, as long as the regulations are followed." A-BOMB LESSON Among the safety instructions which likely will also apply to the two Canadian Bomarc-B bases, in Ontario and Quebec,| is a brief lesson on how build an atomic bomb. This gives you an inkling of why the! nuclear warhead won't go off or more controls -- like having two ignition locks forl your auto- mobile. Of course, through elec- tronics, all of the switchees can be activated on a Bomarc within ja matter of seconds.

And-/ THE BOOK CORNER By THE CANADIAN PRESS Peter Stursberg's Agreement in Principle (Longmans, Green) is a newspaper man's view of post-war world affairs. Based on his background as a roving reporter for the London Daily Herald and United Na- tions correspondent for the CBC, it starts where the Sec- ond World War ends and trav- els through the Cold War in Europe, the end of empire in India, the emergence of Africa and the tragedy and comedy of the UN Stursberg, who now is a par- liamentary correspondent in Ot- tawa, gets his title from a glos- sary of diplomatic language common in cold war circles. Agreement in principle really means disagreement right down the line. Other Orwellian ex- amples: "As everybody knows" -- No- body, but nobody, has ever heard of it.

REG, Con. TA. OF Newsman' Views Of World's Affairs phia) by Helen E. Waite is the personal story of Alex- ander Graham Bell, inven- tor of the telephone, and his wife Mabel; Based on family papers never be- fore made available to a biographer, it relates that the invention was largely the result of his love for his deaf wife and his life's work --helping the deaf to speak. Recent years have seen a re- vival of interest in the prom- inent personalities of the late 18th and 19th centuries, as well as in the social and political life of the Victorian age. McKenzie Porter, Toronto journalist on the staff of Mac- lean's magazine, has written a highly sympathetic account of Queen Victoria's father, Edward Duke of Kent, and his 'French lady," Julie Baronne de Fortis- son, better known as Mme. de St. Laurent. In Overture to Victoria (Long- mans, Green) Julie emerges ar a beautiful, charming womar \from whom Edward separatec with reluctance.

HAD TWO SONS In Canada their two sons were born and descendants still live in this country and Aus- tralia. The Duke of Kent died in 1820 when his daughter, the future Queen Victoria, was less than a year old. Julie lived un- til 1872, dying at 107 at Mont- morency House outside Quebec City. The Duke of Kent's work in Canada makes fascinating read- ing for Canadians. However, the difficult relations Edward had with his father George III and his ducal brothers are recorded and analysed so as to present Edward in an almost too favor- able light. Queen Victoria naturally pre- férred to have Mme. de St. Lau- rent remain obscure and sup- pressed almost all records of ver father's early life, at the same time providing for Julie's sons from royal funds.
