"We (Parliament) guarantee the banks against losses," he said in the Commons Monday. "We cover up their risks and we allow them to take all the profits . . . Is it not time that we took the profits as well as the risks?" Mr. Coldwell spoke as members began debate on the government's decennial revision of the Bank Act which authorizes and regulates bank operation::. He proposed that the bill be set aside and 'that consider ation should be given to the national ownership and control of the char- tered banks." The proposal received support only from the 23-member CCF group. OPPOSES NATIONALIZATION J. M. Macdonnell (PC--Toronto Greenwood), his party's financial critic, said nationalization would lead to political interference and "rigidity" in banking operations. Social Credit leader Low said it is not in the best interests of Cana- dians. Finance Minister Abbott, speak- ing before Mr. Coldwell, made only a brief reference to nationalization of banks. He said the CCF wants this as part of a general sociali- zation, but he did not believe the House wanted to debate socialism. Bikini Atoll For Atom Tests WASHINGTON -- After near] eight years Bikini, a placid Pact. fic atoll surrounded by blue-green waters, soon again will become a testing place for man's most fright- ful weapons. In July, 1946, the eyes of the world were focused on the coral lagoon as two atom bombs played havoc with an anchoreg flotilla of old WareHips. Shortly the United States will be- in a new series of tests, some or development of the dread hy- drogen bomb, vastly more potent than the atom explosives of 1946. And again Bikini will play a part, save the National Geographic So- ciety.

Already units of Task Force 7, which will conduct the experi- ments, have converged on Bikini and Enwetok atolls, both part of the extensive Pacific proving grounds for nuclear weapons.

Steel wreck- age has been cleared off. The once- scarred coconut and breadfruit trees sway as easily in the warm, easterly breezes as they did before the atom era came to Bikini. Lagoon waters, less than 200 feet deep, again are teeming with life. Rock formations retain no evidence of radio-activity. The gleaming beaches appear as inviting as those of other tropic isles. More than 4,700 miles southwest of San Francisco, Bikini atoll is 190 miles east of Eniwetok, where most U.S. atom bombs and several hydrogen devices have been tested. South toward the equator, 800 miles away, string the Marshall Islands. Twenty isles, hardly lifting their heads above sea level, form the Bikini group. The largest are Bi- kini on the northeast, Enyu, Namu and Enirik. The atoll is 25 miles long, 15 miles wide. In all, land miles out of 280 encompassed by the entire atoll. ENTRANCE TO LAGOON Nine-mile-wide Enyu Channel op- ening to the southeast, has long served as the lagoon's entrance. Before 1946 it admitted the na- tives' out-rigger canoes to calm waters.

In the words of its com- | Iander, everything is "going like ain." | The commander is Maj.-Gen. | Horatius Murray, former CO of a| battalion of the Gordon Highland- ers, who thinks the main reason his troops get on so well is be- cause they have the same sense of humor and the same a ob- jects in ife. There's a lot of good-natured kidding, especially about the '"'wealthy" Canadians, but the gen- eral says no one ever gets sore. FRIENDLY ARGUMENTS An example of the kidding was the recent job done on a Canadian sign. The Canadians, under Brig. Jean Allard, occupy a section called Northland. They erected a maple leaf brigade patch and says: "You are now entering Northland." The Aussies and New Zealanders added in esually la re letters '". . . not entire," and pointed out that units of their groups were in the same area. "This is the sort of stuff that keeps us all happy," said the gen- eral. He said the other three parts of the Commonwealth perhaps have more games in. common like cricket and football while the Can- ucks are exclusive patrons of hockey and baseball. They all get together, however, in basketball and volleyball tourpmenis. Visits were exchanged by the messes and '"'we've had no serious case of disagreement," Gen. Mur- ray continued. Everything is smooth,' too he said, in the conduct of divisional operations.

But high authorities = have made this clear: If a hydrogen explosion takes place over one of the smaller is- lands it will disappear into the sea. Such an experiment was con- ducted in 1952 on one of the Eniwe- tok isles. Wisen the cloud of smoke and gas had blown away, the is- land had been obliterated. In its place the ocean washed into a crater a full mile in diameter and 175 feet deep. CRITICIZED Appointment of Hal C.

O. Morehouse, superin- | tendent of the Ontario Hospital at Cobourg described the current trends and progress in the treat- ment of the mentally ill. Beginning his address Dr. More- house stated that the more he dealt with the human individual the more he believed in the greatness of the Creator and the complexity outlined one of the greatest causes of mental illness, the "wrong idea" a false notion which eats at the sense of reason till final mental in- stability and the eventual illness | result. Dr. Morehouse picked as an | example of this all too common ' phenomenon the case of the aver- | age homeowner who finds his furn- | ace has gone out and then blames | the furnace. 'Or the market plung- | er who loses a sum of money and then blames the company. All these false notions are the wrong ideas". TRACES MENTAL ILLNESS | To illustrate this point the speak- | er drew on numerous case his- | tories which traced the original | seed of idea and false notion to mental illness, and remarked that | the common inability to understand | the symptoms of mental illness and seek prompt treatment was hinder- ing the progress of the movement to decrease this type of sickness. 'One of the signs of a pyschia- trist coming of age," stated Dr. Morehouse, "Is the ability to real- ize that mental illness may arise in his family and in himself." The | speaker then went on to explain that the day would come when | mental patients would be diagnosed and treated and sent home with the same clinical efficiency that pre- sently characterizes the setting of brokeh leg.

"That is why our | modern mental hospitals must have | | expert specializing staffs in all | | fields of medical science in addi- | | tion to the regular psychiatric! staffs," stated Dr. Morehouse. | "Our Ontario Hospitals now offer | | a service expert as any large mod- | ern city hospital." | SHOCK TREATMENTS Dr. Morehouse then traced the development of shock treatment | for mental illness from the origin- | al painstaking drug method through | the present electrical method which to {sive therapy. "This shock treat- ment produces almost a sure cure in those depression cases, or the ones with tendency toward sui- cide," said the speaker. For those who fail to react the shock treatment, there is an al- ternative method which is called the insulin shock therapy, and which produces similar results. "The final alternative is an opera- tion called a lobotomy," explained Dr. Morehouse. "In this operation certain fibre tracts of the brain are severed by surgery which sep- arate the sight centres of the brain from the emotional centre, thereby preventing persisting un- stable mental pictures which con- tribute to eventual mental illness. Introduced by Lion Dr. Birks, Dr. Morehouse was thank- ed for his interesting address by Lions J. J. Brown. Six club members were congrat- ulated on the occasion of their birthdays. They were Lions Alex Banting, Jack McNulty, Gord EI- liott and Stu James. A presentation was made to Lions John Ham and Al Cuthertson celebrating new ar- rivals to their families.
