THURDSAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE TWENTY-ONE || British Conservatives Fight Long Tradition BY ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer London (CP) -- In this century of the common man, Britain's Conservative party has a tough time trying to persuade people that it really believes in gapitalism. Rightly or wrongly, Conservatives are prisoners of their past. In the minds of many moderate voters, the word "Tory" still suggests a wicked capitalist, a privileged pro- perty owner or at best a defender ,of the status quo, It seems fair to say that if Win- ston Churchill and his colleagues win the next general election, as majority opinion now takes pretty well for granted, they will do so less because of their own irresist- ible appeal than because important sections of the electorate have largely lost faith in Labor. . PARTY OF PRIVILEGE The Conservative effort to slough off the wolf's clothing of privilege and reaction is difficult. The Tories 80 back a long way to the days when all politics were dominated By the wealthy landed classes.' Now, in a political climate where se- curity and - humanitarianism are perhaps more potent influences than in the flourishing free-en- terprise economies of North America, every move the Tories make is suspect. Since 1845, they have tried to broaden their base. Every annual conference has at least one speak- er who boasts he is a son of toil from the Old Kent Road. There is an "industrial college" in the north of England and the party says it approves in principle of the welfare state, including the national health service, All the way, it is an uphill fight. TORIES DEFENSIVE In this curiously defensive mood, Conservatives face a difficult choice. Most feel that the political pendulum has swung too far to the left. The country is in real dif- ficulties, they say, and if solving those problems happens to include trimming social expenditure, well, that's the way it has to be. At the same time, they know that such policies are unpopular among sec- tions of the population which re- member the' period between the wars as the "bad old days" of Tory rule. Something of this spirit was hinted at in a recent speech by David Eccles, an influential Con- servative back-bencher., The party, he said, must try to get rid of its reputation as the party of privi- lege. The speech rang freshly in an atmosphere weighed down by stale- mate politics, Many British news- papers commented favorably, and some predicted it would form one of the chief planks in the Conserv- ative platform at the next elec- malfans welfare: N ew Appointment Rusco Sales Head Donald J. Crossman has been appoim- ed sales manager for the Chapmen Rusco Sales in Osha District. to the local firm he hes undergone a. training course ot the Rusco foctory in Scar- borough, Ontario, where Russell Compony. of Canada | make Rusco win- dows ich are only all steel, self-storing, oid storm win. dows and screens in the world.

The Manchester Guardian, Liber- al, called the policy "perilously vague" and asked whether the Conservatives have really moved away from the restrictionist ideas of the 1930s. The weekly Economist, an inde- pendent publication, said there were two tests. One was whether a Conservative government would re- duce surtax on large: earned ine comes, while raising the impost on large inheritances. The other was whether it would really try to break up monopolies and price- fixing associations. "That is the necessary policy for a capitalism of opportunity," the Economist said, "but it is the lead- ers of the price rings who are among the party's most active sup- porters."

(CP), -- The hous- ing problem doesn't bother Art Scholes, Olympic tunner of the 1920s who has left both the running track and the beaten track far be- tion. But there were some skepti- | hind Art took to the woods near this town and pays a farmer $1 a year for rental of a wooden shack on the banks of the Humber, not far from Toronto. He and his collie pup live there all year round. His few wants are provided by nature. He traps and fishes, has an ample supply of wild berries and makes his own maple syrup.During his 20-year stay in the woods he has acquired wide knowledge of wildlife and woodlore. He earns enough money for his few needs from civilization by helping district farmers during harvest season and by selling skunk oil to stable hands for $1 a quart. The' oil is one ingredient in a rub-down mixture for horses. Art, incidentally, found that skunk stew, flavored with wild carrot, is as '"'tasty" as rabbit. FORMER ATHLETE The woodsman, known here as the "hermit," won early fame as an athlete. He ran in the 1920 Olympic five-mile event and in 1928 defeated the famous Indian runner Tom oLngboat, at Scarboro Beach, Toronto. After working his way through 'Worry Here a $12,000 inheritance without '"'re- taining a souvenir" Art went to work in a factory. Punching a time clock was the "bane of his exist- ence' so, after his wife died, he decided to "start the kind of life I had always wanted." He first went to the far north but soon returned to this area. '"There is much less chance of a fellow getting bushed down here," he says He is close to but invisible from the highway, so that he can have as little or as much contact with the world as he wants. Only 40 miles from Downtown Toronto, his trap line provides him with all the | HAVE DAILY REGULARITY IN 3 DAYS --0r Double Your Money Back!" * | questioning the push-button, chrom- mink, muskrat, fox and raccoon fur he needs. Those who meet him often depart fum-plated existence of city and town life. Art, at 61, recommends his life for tired business execu- tives: "I feel like 20, sleep like a baby and couldn't be happier," he says.

The protective virus has various names, the official one being Cox- sackie. This comes from a New York town of that name where the association with polio was dis- covered in 1947. Coxsackie has 10 differ ent forms. They now explain some summer complaints that long have baffled doctors. The forms include "three- day fever" and Devil's crip," the latter so named because of sharp ' pains in the chest. The Coxsackie protection was reported to the second international poliomyelitis conference by Dr. Gilbert Dalldorf of the New York State Department of Health. The conference is sponsored by the Danish National Association for Infantile Paralysis and the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, USA. The Coxsackie bug is frequently found along with polio. Dr. Dall- 3 dorf said it is likely to be found = in mild rather than severe polio. |& Experiments with mice indicate * that infection with coxsackie interferes with growth of polio virus. stripes.
