PAGE TWELVE SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1¢ ) Few Changes In Political Life Seen Vancouver, April 1--(CP)--Dr. N. A. M. MacKenzie, president of the University of British Columbia, thinks there are three possibilities in Canada's political development in the next 50 years. At the best, few "proved of rev- olutionary changes" in Canadian political life; at the worst, chaos and "appalling destruction" as a re- sult of a Communist or Fascist-type world domination; perhaps most logical, subordination of Canadian internal politics to membership in a North American Union "and thus in turn part of a larger territory of the Western World". "It is pure and unmitigated guess work," says Dr. MacKenzie, "to pre- dict or think about what may happen 50 years from now in a world adrift and in a revolutionary state. "Nevertheless, certain facts trends and developments are evi- dent today which, coupled with what history seems to have shown us of human beings and human behavior, give some, guide to this guess work." The university president, a pro- fessor of international law, former- ly attached to the League of Na- tions, stresses the fact that no country now can hope to control or direct its own future, irrespec- tive of the rest of the World. He says: Whether Canada will become a battle ground in any war where the US.S.R. and the United States may be chief participants is a question we can't answer. What of future events in India, China, Ja- pan, Russia or Africa? "I'm certain that what happens to those countries and peoples will have a profound effect on Canada. So, too, will atomic and other scien- tific discoveries, bound to expand in potential. "It verges on the fantastic to lay aside these unknowns and consider Canada's political futufe. But here is what I imagine should happen in development comparatively free of external influence and pressure. "Canadians of all origins have shown pretty clearly during the last 25 years that one of their chief concerns is their own wel- fare and prosperity as well as the prosperity and welfare of their de- pendents. "To achieve this, they seem pre- pared to allow and, if need be, in- sist, that the state intervene to provide such, It seems equally clear that they desire and prefer maximum individual freedom and minimum regimentation. "It suggests that Canadians like- ly will try to get these apparently- incompatible objectives by custom- ary Canadian compromises and de- vices. "Quebec's co-operatives and those elsewhere, Saskatchewan's social- ist government which isn't Social- ist, Alberta's social credit govern- ment which isn't Social Credit, British Columbia's hospital insur- ance plan, and Ontario's provincial hydro system are examples of com- promises we have resorted to be- fore and likely will again, , , "Of the Senate, it has been a useful institution and could be more so. I would like to think it might be 'appointed' for a period of years--say nine--and that it might be appointed from all major parties on the basis of votes cast for those parties. .« "In normal circumstances, Can- ada lends itself to a coalition of the centre in which French-Cana- dians and English-Canadians of a variety of views and opinions can work together. "For the time being, the Liber- als represent this coalition and as long as conditions remain good, and people relatively content, they will be difficult to dislodge from their 14-year tenure. - "But' socialism will become pop- ular again in event of another de- pression. Still other major develop- ments might make a skillful and intelligent conservative program popular with another type of eoalition. . . "In brief, if conditions inside and outside Canada remain normal and peaceful, I do not expect many Adequate Water Heater in Home Of Importance The most important thing that has happened in the water heating industry in recent years is the gen- eral recognition of the importance of buying equipment adequate in size, says the Plumbing and Heat- ing Industries Bureau. .20 Gal. Capacity Until a few years ago, most of the water heaters sold had a capacity of only 20 gallons. In some instan- ces, water heaters as small as 15 gallons were purchased.' Today householders have become more conscious of the convenience and health-protection afforded by plenty of hot water, The increased demand for hot water for baths, for automatic dishwashers, and laundry equipment has brought a demand for larger-capacity equip- ment. Small Extra Cost Manufacturers have long been aware of the fact that a 20-gallon heater is too small to take care of anything but the smallest home. A 30-gallon water heater does a good job in the, average home. If, how- ever, a family has two baths or an extra shower, or if the family in- cludes several members, a 45-gallon water heater would give them com- pletely automatic hot water service in adequate quantities. The extra cost of a 30-gallon water heater as compared with a 20-gallon heater is very small, points out the Bureau. Likewise, the increased cost of maintaining the huge supply of hot water is neg- ble. Guide News (Continued from Page 9) to sense that her mistress was in trouble and was quite restless. The Captain then chose the Com- pany leader to conduct the meeting. The patrols then retired to their various corners to discuss the neces- sary treatment for such an emer- | gency. Following this discussion, the | Guides applied the proper treatment | to the Captain's ankle. Shirley Mason used her coat as a pillow for the | Captain's foot. Then Joy Hardsand applied a bandage to the injury. Seeing that the dog was resentful of the attention being given to the Captain and that it was making a nuisance of itself, Vera Mandryk decided to take the dog for a walk. | A scream from the kitchen was | the next thing to distract our atten- tion. Seeking the cause of this alarm, we 'discovered fire in the Kitchen. The girls immediately filed out in orderly fashion. However, one Guide retained enough presence of mind to assist the Captain out of the build- ing, but the excitement had proven too much for the Lieutenant, as she fainted. With Shirley Mason in charge, the Lieutenant was soon revived. The Captain then confessed that all the unusual incidents were pre- arranged. While the 'fire' the Lieutenant "fainting," the "toy dog" and the Captain's "sprained ankle" were all shams, they were realistic | enough to have the Guides demon- | strate what is necessary to do in such cases if they should happen in reality.

Regent GAGS, LAUGHS GALORE IN "MY FRIEND IRMA" The laughs will be flying thick and fast at the Regent Theatre next Wednesday when Paramount's riot- ous comedy, "My Friend Irma," opens a four-day pre-Easter show- ng. The 'popular radio show has been brought to the screen with its de- lightful characters and superb humor intact, resulting in one of the fun- niest pictures ever made. Marie Wilson repeats her radio assignment as Irma, the beautiful | but very dumb blonde who is forever getting into the sort of involved | scrapes that only a rescue party can repair... This help is merrily provided by her co-stars--John Lund, | Diana Lynn, Don DeFore and the | new comedy sensations, Dean Mar- tin and Jerry Lewis. The four leading characters of the | radio Show also have the leading roles in the film, although Marie Wilson is the only radio performer | of the four. Irma's boy friend Al (Lund) is still a small time oper- | ator with big ideas; room-mate Jane (Lynn) mothers Irma while looking for a sugar daddy to marry; and | Jane's boss (DeFore) has a king-size | bankroll and eyes for Jane. The film's plot has Irma working hard | to get Al to marry her while Jane is torn between her love for her boss' | money and a poor but talented singer | (Martin). Irma"s wacky manoeuver- ' ings straighten out these affairs of ! the heart by the time the last laugh | rolls around. Martin and Lewis, who attained screen stardom via nightclubs and | radio, are terrific in their movie | debut. Lewis' antics have to be seen to be believed. Martin scores addi- tionally as a romantic singer as he vocalizes "My Own, My Only, My All," "Here's To Love' and 'Just For Fun." the title song brings to four the number of tunes written for the picture by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans. 'My Friend Irma' was directed by George Marshall in a way that gets the most fun out of a very funny and highly enjoyable picture.
