A GEORsE MONTOOM TAB HUNTER seer --e TRANG SYDNEY (CP) -- When Gordon Elman speaks of Cape Breton his eyes light up, he gestures forcibly for emphasis and likely as not will say in a tone that brooks no argu- ment: "Cape Breton island is the centre of the world." He means just what he says. That is why he has landed--temporarily, at least--in the driver's seat of the most 4mbitious industrial de- velopment 'program this industrial island of 165,000 persons has ever seen. The plan will take form in the shape of the Sydney Industrial De- velopment Co. Ltd., incorporation of which is being sought in the Nova Scotia legislature. GO AFTER INDUSTRIES Elman und a group of wealthy associates will attempt to find out what $500,000 in guaranteed capital can get in the way of new indus- try for a region whose traditional enterprise, coal, is sorely threat- ened by sagging markets. SIDCO's financing is simple. Its backers each have agreed to put up $2,000 of their own money. In Industrial Program For PEI Ambitious Aq Fr The D Steel and Coal this way, it already has $120,000 and Elman says the total soon will reach $150,000. The 5-year-old Glace Bay na- tive says arrangements have been made to get guarantees fot a fur- ther $350,000, making $500,000 in all, After incorporation, SIDCO will launch a national newspaper and magazine advertising campaign for ideas. Each will be investigated by a special five-man committee headed by laundry owner Murvale B. Vale and a 60-per-cent favorable vote of SIDCO's board of directors will put capital behind the man with the idea. "We're not interested in assist- ing any enterprise that will com- pete with existing industry," EI- man said. "But we'll back any other venture that proves its sound- ness." A half-dozen overtures have been received already. SEEK DIVERSIFICATION "We want to diversify our in- dustry," Elman said. "But we're not solely interested in large in- dustry." Corp., dug 5,000,000 tons of coal in Cape Breton island in 1954 and its Sydney steel plant turned out 650,000 tons of steel products. For- eign orders have strengthened the steel business but coal is shaky. Elman started out selling auto- mobiles 33 years ago at 17 and still runs a car shewroom and garage. He also is president of the Isle Royale Hotel, the city's best, owns a bus company, and is a past president of the Sydney board of trade whose membersh he drove from 35 to 500 in a a driving campaign. "I'm also president of a gold mine but it's not worth much," he added ruefully. "Then there's park commissioner--I'm that, too."

The secretary | and treasurer's reports were heard. Mrs Mitchell took charge of the worship service, speaking on "Ever Loving Hand | of God", guiding and directing His people in various ways of life. Rev. J. M. Ward, minister of the Baptist Church, was present | and gave a very enlightening and interesting address on the temper- ance work, giving much praise to the wonderful work being done by the AA, which is steadily growing in numbers, Following Mr. Ward's | address, the boys and girls, who had written on "The Temperance | Study Course", came to the meet- ing to receive their prizes. These were presented by Rev. Ward and Mrs. Fothergill. Two of the girls | received the five-year gold pins, | which is indeed an achievement, | not acquired by many. Winning | prizes were Margaret Webber, who last year also won the senior award, Lois Glenny, Shirley Glen- ny, Mary Ellen Sinclair, Judy White, Linda Law, Anita Under- wood, Ruth Sinclair, June Picker- ing, and Marion Glenny.

The answer will be ready some time in April. Doctors will an-| nounce then whether the salk vac- cine is an answer to poliomyelitis --whether it is a partial preventa- tive or none at all. For almost a year, in an old brick building on the University of Michigan campus, doctors and sta- tisticians have been at work. TWO MILLION STUDIED Of 2,000,00 grade school child- ren in the United States, Canada and Finland, only 440,000 received the salk vaccine. Another 210,000 got a harmless control substance. The rest got no injections of any kind, but were studied as a con- It was the largest test of its kind ever performed. It was fashioned to prove what doctors had observed in the test tube.

When some of them did contract polio, specimens were analyzed, medical reports were written and their QSopress was studied. GUARD INFORMATION At no time in the history of the| test 'was it known publicly which] child was given the vaccine and | which was not. That information | was guarded in the card file at the centre. Here, in an elaborate code of punches and notations, were the answers to the value of the salk vaccine. Now they are ready to be | fed into giant tabulators to get a| human answer in mathematical | terms. : Dr. Francis, chairman of epide-| miology (the study of the behavior | of diseases) at the University of] Michigan, has the reputation] among his fellow workers for pain- staking careful research. As in the development of the vac- cine, the money for the evaluation has come from the National Found- ation for Infantile Paralysis but it] has been given directly to the Uni- | others, that Dr. Francis has set up evaluation and the report will be independent and fair. . It is for this reason, among | his security code--to provide a | completely controlled evaculation. | LIMITED PROOF Dr. Jonas Salk of the Univer- sity of Pittsburgh, who developed the vaccine, had already proved in limited immunization tests and in the laboratory that the vaccine produces antibodies. The mass test was to determine whether the vaccine would produce enough resistance to the disease to prevent it, and whether it would cope with all known polio viruses. Dr. Salk who studied under Dr. Francis at Michigan, developed the vaccine after three American doc- tors had succeeded in isolating the polio virus in a test tube. Those three, Drs. John Enders and Thomas Weller of Harvard University and Frederick Robbins of Western Reserve University, Cleveland, won a Nobel prize for this first step in the prevention of polio. Scientists hope that next month will mark another achievement in the fight 'to control polio. Woman Pleases The Man, That's Japanese Custom HOLLYWOOD (AP) --- What, makes so many American boys marry Japanese girls? Japanese film star Shirley Yamaguchi of- fers this explanation: "In America, the man does eveything he can to please the woman. But the Japanese girl is trained from childhood to please the man." Shirley, who has made more than 50 films in Japan, is here for her second American film, '"House of Bamboo." (She made "I was a Japanese War Bride" in 1951.) The new film shows her as a G.I's widow who becomes romantically POPULAR IN ARTS From 'Madam Butterfly" to "Teahouse of the August Moon," | the Japanese-American love match has been popular in the arts, The American occupation of Japan pro- duced thousands of east west | unions. I sought the reason from | the viewpoint of a Japanese girl. | "We want to make a man as| comfortable as possible" ex-| plained Shirley, who was born in Manchutia of Japanese parents. | "When a man is in the house, I don't like to see him move around. I want to do things for him. It| makes me uncomfortable to have | men do things for me." Japanese women now can vote, divorce more easily and enjoy other privilegs they didn't know before the occupation. But they still consider pleasing the males their prime duty in life, she said. LACK INDEPENDENCE "It is something we are trained CEDAR CREEK G. KILPATRICK Correspondent CEDAR CREEK -- Wm.

"Also, Japanese women haven't got economic independence. They depend on the men to support them." Although the Japanese woman reject the American notion of com- peting with men, the girls have adopted some of the feminizing methods from here, Shirley re-| ported. She is one of those re-| sponsible for the Westernizing. You may recall that she made a much- publicized trip to Hollywood to in- vestigate the matter of kissing on the screen, which was then taboo in the Japanese movies. "Nowadays kissing is very com- mon in films over there," she said. "But you still don't see it in pub- lic. To the Japanese, any show of | affection before other people--even | the touch of a hand--is considered in bad taste." Shirley has also helped to revolu- tionize the traditional kimono. "The manufacturers cut the cloth the same size for all women," she explained. "That meant that small girls like myself had a lot of mat- erial left over and it had to be wrapped around the middle. That gave no form to the figure at all." So she cut off the material her- self, eliminating the many folds of cloth and accenting the feminine curves. Many of the Japanese women have followed suit. The bust is more apparent now in Jap- anese dress, but she said that # still not a prime element of. at- traction as in this country. They consider the nape of the neck more important.

Central Press Canadian Photos COUNTRY CROPPINGS By LAURAL HAMER It appears as though spring is coming up and that will be good, refreshing, and a nice change for then the meetings will be fewer and farther between. I like meet- ings, find them stimulating and thought provoking, but there are rather many of them lately. Last week there were two to be attend- ed in Toronto. For one of them I drove to Pickering and took the bus thinking to ease the respon- sibility of driving myself. The morning trip was delightful with a pleasant companion and quite a prompt journey but how I dislike the return trips. I did manage to catch a bus with little waiting at the bus station but within the first 20 minutes of the trip it was so packed with travel- lers and it stopped and started so many times that I was more worn out than as if I had been pushing the cumbersome vehicle myself. determined that the next day when I made the trip again I would not 0 by bus.

As I entered a highway First Traffic Ticket - Teaches A Good Lesson from a cut-off slowing down to make sure nothing was approach- ing, I failed to see the austere looking car parked in a farmer's lane until I was beside it and real- ized that this was the day that I earned myself my first ticket for traffic violations, I was a bit annoyed with myself because I knew I did not have $10. or even five for which I could not find three different uses, but I also could not help being hard on myself too because after driving 20 years or so and never having any trouble a person does get the idea that trouble doesn't like you. 1 figured I had a good lesson but was still a bit concerned over what the lesson was worth in the eyes of the magistrate. For eight days the family kept on the lookout for. that letter be- fore it arrived and the suspense was at an end. It cost me seven dollars because I did not come to a "full and complete' stop.

Yes, indeed, as long as you don't have to look for a com- munication in Her Majesty's Mail saying that for something ne- lected to do or for something you dia you must pay your hard earn- ed cash, then, motoring on your own is a lot of fun.
