not so serious it would be ludicrous Who ever heard of disarming countrys reserve army to protect it against segment of its own people who are in ossession of suffic sent arms stolen rom Armounes to wage small war The Minister of National Defence certainly showed considerable ineptitude for his job when instructions were issued to remove all arms and ammunition from zunguarded Drill Halls and

tractive new clubhouse ton were next in line OTHER EDITORS VIEWS m5 supplying fairly well trained person So far the looting of Armourlea has occurred only in Quebec When the De fence Department urged closersecurit of such places containing arms the di rective was apparently not taken seri ously As result the country has to suf fer the ignominy Several reserve units are maintaining roundtheolock guard duty of Armour fes despite the lack of arms therein Surely such troops could be trusted to guard their own weapons in Ontario and other provi es It is unfortunate there are few trouble spots in Quebec but these could be worked out flagpoper dis tallied cipline was called for and in As the matter stands Canada can be the laughing stock of the world with such childishhandling rof defence We can swallow our pride perhaps but we cant party advertising men months advance notice of the last election Mr Westendorp is no longer an advertising executive He has resigned and now is in sales HARDLY OTHERWISE But those who are taking horrified looks at ttie PCs In Just about as silly as Mr West endorp To say that Mr Roberts or the party were cheating and do log something disgraceful isnt facing the facts of life of course the advertising people of party in power know of an election in advance Even in more saintly fields than politics this could hardly be otherwise The leader of the govem ment decides on an election date it is popular to say that he and he alone decides But of course this is not so Every leader of govern ment has his lltlcai advisers the pros who run the party organization And before setting date naturally he talks to them And they know before anyone else when he will be going to the country lt is only realistic that they would And also that they will start to work doing what they can before the starting gun goes Even in the happy lead up stairs it could hardly work out any other way when Mr Robarts says as he has that he didnt give ad vertising agencies advance in formation he is undoubtedly telling the truth In fact he wouldnt ever have given them any inforrnetion This is not his Job hut tlset of the campaign boss in the ease concerned Ernest

good old days Oh those good old daysl 0tdtimera 60 years of age or more like to drop tear in their sareeparillo as they re call how much better and more romantic life was in their youth than it is now But was it really The par sage of time casts an illusory low over the past that gives it sentimental lustre We have an idea that if the aver age nldtimer was compelled now to live again for month as he did in his childhood hed kick like male and scream like banshee When oldtimers reminisce they dont dwell on such points as Probably not half the homel had indoor plumbing Most homes were heated by pctbellied stoves or beiky coal furnaces the ashes from which had to be logged out with monotonous regularity People worked 50 to 6th hour week When rug hadto be cleaned it was hung on line in the backyard and dust was spankedout with heater ii you were wealthy enough to afford canyou had to bandcrank it to get the motor started The roads were so bad you were lucky if you went mo miles without flat tire if you did get flat tire youhadto fix it yourself Most women had lost their beauty by the time they were Pensions were unheard of in most industries big prob lem to the laboring man was to keep from winding up in the poorhouse his constant fear There were no electric limlftdvvhlii ouse duds In tubs and launder them by hand or with scrub hing brush on ridged wash board Winters were in and cold summers long an hot Ain conditionlng was achieved by fanning oneself The kitchen held no gleam ing refrigerator The pen uri der the icehox had to be emptied daily Woodbumlng stoves were used in rural areas and somebody in the household had to chop the kindling for them Women had in lane them selves lnto corsets so tightly they couldnt swallow grape without feeling unoomfortab There were no drive in theatres no radio no televi sion no hifi rate no pipedin music nooaoned dog food Why dad gum it they didnt evea have rollon deodorante or electric toothbrushes What do they mean the good old daysf About all they had we dont have is big foamy glass of nickel beer And its hardly worth turning the calendar back lost for that The good old days hover been replaced by the good LONDON Within the next few weeks tenders will he call ed for the new Cunard trans Atlantic liner which is to be built as replacement for the Queen Mary There will be keen competition for the contract for this vessel which will he one of 50000 tons and is expected to cost in the neighborth oi $66 million towards which the government has undertaken to provide loan of million Two of Britains major ship builders are liker to be lead ers in the fight to secure this iuicy order They are the John Brown Company of Clydeth in Scotland and the Swanslur her and Armstrong consortium of iyneslde it will be entirely matter of price that will de cide which irm will get the older and it ieunderstood that John Browns are willing to fake the contract even at loss so as to keep their yard fully employed NEW FEATURES The new hinard liner will have some interesting features which have not previously been adopted in francAtiantic piss enger vessels For instance all the passengers who eat on this ship when it goesioto service w1l be able to dine with full View of the sea This is some thing new in MFAIllliilc ahlps In the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth and the other Cun ard liners the restaurants are situated on lower deck Those who wish to dine witis sea view have to pay an extra cover charge to dine in the Ver ando Grill So the eeavlew din ing rooms form one of the new features of the naming Cunard er BIBLE THOUGHT Let us not he desirous of vein glory envytng one another Geiatienehu The measure of true Iucceae is never our standing with the financed by the mineral Steam ship Company is that it will has threeclass ship although other Atlantic eh pplng lines have favored the motions ves sel in recent years The Cunard Line gives three of its reasons for building threeclass ship First is the Consistent and Nn tinuing demand for cabinclasa accommodation Next the three clues produces higher revenue And tlsird is theprovenJactr that there is large public who cannot afford iirstclaae passages but who welcome or irllddle class ln the new mnerd liner all rooms for the 2000 passengers will have rivets baths or show are and to ate Each class first cabin and tourist will have item own deck of public rooms The ship however will ban built so that it can easily has converted into twoclass liner for cruising during the winter months lt Tenders are expected to be called in late July or early Aug net and the orderfor building will be placed in December Thy launching is expected about the middle of 1996 so that it can be ready for the Atlantic routeo service early in than Habitual
