Reds Decisively Defeated In Indian State Election Apparently there is little nged for con- cern about India, now ruled by Premier Nehru, going Communist. There has been such concern, but it has been greatly re- lieved by the result of an election held in the Indian state of Andhra. This state, with a population of about 11 million, has been looked upon as the stronghold of In- dian Communism. In the last legislature, the Communists, with 48 seats, one- fourth of the whole constituted the offi- cial opposition. In the recent election they suffered a decisive defeat, and won only 15 seats. The Communists had been looking for- ward to this election with confidence and high hopes. They looked for a victory which would enhance Communist pres- tige, not only in India, but throughout the whole of Eastern Asia.' The result, how- ever, was not merely a victory, but a land- slide for Nehru's Congress party, which had strongly opposed the Reds in a vig- orous campaign. The Congress party won 119 seats and has a clear majority in the new Legislature. Since this was the first attempt of the Communists to secure control of a state legislature at the polls. the result is en- couraging. This is particularly so because Andhra was considered a veritable hotbed of Communism. The only conclusion one can reach is that the voters of the state have decided for themselves that the Com- munis ideology is not all that it is paint- ed to be. The fact that Mr. Nehru came out so strongly against the Reds in the campaign also points a very strong moral. Mr. Nehru bas had a close-up look at the Communists and their pattern of action in the last year or two. Obviously he does not like what he has seen, and is deter- mined to keep his country free from the shackles of the Red ideology. Unwilling "Students" A Luxury There has been sharp criticism in many parts of Canada of the very definite fact that a lot of public money is being wasted in efforts to educate so-called "students" who have neither the desire nor the cap- acity to learn. Thus, the Vancouver Province com- ments that "If the economic burden of or universities is not to become intoler- able. these institutions will have to be- come more selective," and it goes on to argue for the raising of standards in not merely the secondary schools, where stu- dents are prepared for university, but in the elementary schools, where their aca- demic foundations are laid. The Vancouver paper adds: "Education costs are becoming so high that we are approaching the point where the 'taxpeyer wonders how long he can afford to keep even in the upper grades of our high schools those who have no desire and little aptitude to continue their schooling. . "A good education is considered the Ontario's Liquor The report of the Ontario Liquor Con- trol Board, showing that in the fiscal year which ended on March 31 last, the people of Ontario spent no less than $285 million for liquor, beer and wine, must give rise to a great deal of serious think- ing. This figure was the highest for any year in the history of the province, was five per cent higher than in the previous year, with hard liquor showing the great- est increase in sales. To our way of thinking, this does not indicate any great degree of control over the sale of liquor. The government, ap- parently. is quite satisfied to see liquor. beer and wine sales keep on soaring, 80 long as the revenues it receives from this business keeps increasing. In the period under review, the provincial government received $45,000,000 in profits and fees to swell its treasury. The federal govern- ment receives $82,000,000 for customs and excise duties, sales tax and malt du- ties and taxes. The municipalities receiv- el nearly one million dollars for their part of the licence fees. Editorial Notes East roads to failure are the line of least resistance, and the paths of least persistence.

"What we mean is that our children should be afforded the opportunity for the best possible education commensur- ate with their abilities and ambition. "It does not, mean that they should be thrown, willy-nilly, on an educational as- sembly line and held there until they em- erge with diplomas clutched in their fists." For more than thirty years, our schools here in Ontario have been operating in the belief that compulsory education to age 16 will solve all our problems. Vast sums of money are still being spent in the process of proving that this concept was entirely mistaken; but rath- er than admit it is mistaken, our educa- tors are padding the legitimate academic technical and commercial curriculum with subjects which have no value either in preparing the pupil for advanced academ- ic studies or for everyday life. Sales Soar When one considers the amount of money which is spent by this province and its municipalities for such things as education and welfare, the spending for liquor and other intoxicating beverages seems enormous. Turned into more useful channels, this huge sum of $285 million could make an appreciable difference to the standards of living of a great many families. It is recognized that excessive drinking is responsible for much of the human misery which requires the atten- tion of welfare tori and for much of the crime in the province. How could it be otherwise when every year sees more and more spending of money for intoxi- cants. It seems hopeless to expect any real at- tempt on the part of governments to ex- ercise effective control over the sales of liquor, beer and wine. It must remain for those interested in the cause of temper- ance to endeavor by all means in their power to improve the situation through the processes of education. Bit Of Verse THOSE WHO TEND To those who dust chairs where love sits, And smooth the beds where love dreams out the day, Shine windows for love to see clearly Both in and out, Polish floors for dear returning feet-- To those who clatter heavy skillets, Stir busy crocks of goodies, And stand, dripping, over boiling jellies, Set pans of rolls to rise-- To those who bathe sweet, eager bodies, Bumish hair to bright enchantment, Scrub teeth for the best smiles of all You are high priestesses, Lighting inner sanctuary candles, Fastidiously tending the cathedrals of love, ANNE CLENDENNING Other Editors' Views DELIBERATE MISREPRTSENTATION (Ottawa Journal) A member if the Ontario Legislature tells of a man who secured a driving permit for his dog. But of course it could not be done without delib- erate misrepresentation in filling out the appli- cation form---and we are not told that the dog in question could read and write. QUEEN'S PARK Nixon Would Turn of Clock Backwards § By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent to The Times-Gazette TORONTO-If the Liberals could move the clock back they would have a chance of getting a lot more votes in the next election. Harry Nixon, the dean of the House and veteran campaigner, has a story to tell that would carry weight with a lot of people. Given the political conditions of a few decades ago, when politics was serious business and political meetings were things of importance and well attended, and Mr. Nixon could have won a lot of votes for his party. REFUTES GOVERNMENT The story he would have to tell would be the history of committees in the province. He told it in the House the other day, and the government didn't look too proud at the end of it. He told how traditionally it had always been the privilege of Op- position members to call witnesses before committee, He mentioned particularly two committees that were convened by the Liberal ad- ministration in the. thirties. One was on Hydro and the other on Lands and Forests. Former pre- mier Drew and Premier Frost, then in opposition, were both members of these committees. They both asked that a number of wit\2sses be summonsed to appear, and in all cases the witnesses were called. LOOKS BAD At least that's the way the vet- eran Liberal tells it, (And it wasn't - = Pig refuted by the government in the Hcuce.) In contrast, he sighted the at- titude of the Highways Irregulari- ties Committee, and its summary dismissal of Opposition requests for witnesses. There might have been some ex- cuse in that the members of the committee might have been ignor- ant of the precedent -- though At- torney-General Porter, who should have known, supported the commit- tee. However, in this event, he felt that Mr. Frost should have stepped in and suggested to the committee that it change its mind. WON'T REGISTER Its a convincing story as told by Mr. Nixon, who with his long years of experience puts forward an ar- gument with restraifft but also with the ring of conviction. However the story undoubtedly won't get to the bulk of the people. The party could send this old campaigner on the stump through the province for weeks. But when his. campaign was over, under con- ditions of today, only a handful of the people would have heard him. The smoke - filled meeting rcoms of yesterday have been re- placed with the smoke-filled living rooms of the TV set. The speech in the House wasn't entirely lost, however. He did pro- pose that the Rules should be brought up to date, and suggested that Mr. Speaker, Rev. M. C. Da- vies, should be entrusted with the revision. Mr. Frost agreed with this, and so a long overdue re- view will be undertaken. IN DAYS GONE BY 20 YEARS AGO Elder and Mrs. J. L. Wilson of the Oshawa Missionary College, celebrated their 50th wedding an- niversary. Dr. S. J. Phillips was elected secretary-treasurer of the Dur- ham-Ontario Dental Association. Rev. Andrew Robb, pastor of St. Andrew's United Curch, was guest speaker at the newly-form ed men's club at Port Hope. The subject of his talk was 'Hon. Dav- id Lloyd George". Mrs. street, Emily Stilwell, Fisher was interviewed by a re- porter of the "Oshawa Daily Times". She was 87 years of age and remembered well her grand- father who was a guard at St Helena when Napoleon was pris. oner there. Drew Jacobi was declared win- ner of the Public School Oratorical contest held in OCVI. FOR BETTER HEALTH J. J. Scott was honored by the Sunday School teachers of St, An- drew's United Church on the oc- casion of his completion of 13 years service with only three £un- days absence from his post as secretary-treasurer of the school. Oshawa Majors were deprived of the O.H.A. title they had won by defeating Kitchener 3 to 2, when it was learned that Winton W. Bag- nell was over the age limit for Junior players. All play-off games were thrown out. March 21 was a beautiful day and two Oshawa citizens reported seeing three moths flying outside. Miss Jean Smith succeeded Miss Daisy Lodge as senior Victorian Order Nurse. Two bluebirds were seen in the city. New Hope Is Offered To Neuritis Sufferers By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Tests conducted by Dr. Richard T. Smith of Pennsylvania Hospital indicate that administration of pro- tamide may speed recovery by as much as four weeks. Protamide is a solution of processed and den:- tured proteolytic' erzyme obtained from the glandular layer of Yresh hog stomach Dr. William Marsh of the Na- tional Naval Medical Center has reported that Protamide is also valuable in the treatment of herpes zoster, or shingles There are many causes and many types of neuritis, For in- stance, it ay develop as an af- termath of other virus infection such as a severe upper respiratory infection But in all chief symptom Neuritis is an types, pain is. the inflammation of the nerves.

They had various types of neuritis, but all were cases where there was inflamma- tory involvement of the nerve root. Also, all patients had prev- ious virus infection or upper res- piratory infection within three weeks before their neuritis began. NO MECHANICAL INJURIES Through X-ray examinations, it was determined that none had any mechanical injuries or wounds which might have caused the neuritis. Intramuscular injections of 1.3 cc. of Protamide were administer- ed once each day for five days. In cases where all pain had not been relieved within this period, Dr. Smith reported, the treatments were continued for another five days. Eighty-four of the 104, he said, made complete recoveries within five or 10 days. The average course of untreated neuritis is from three to six weeks. It is important, Dr. Smith says, to begin treatment as quickly as possible. The 49 patients who re- ported complete relief within five days had been ill not longer than four days before treatment was begun. On the other hand, the 20 pa- tients who did not respond satis- factorily to treatment had suffer- ed symptoms for more than a week before therapy was started. This is what's new in medical science's never-ending fight to aid neuritis victims. But there are older effective measures doctors can take, too. I'll tell you about some of these tomorrow. K.M.: I have developed a num- ber of warts at the base of my neck, due to wearing metal neck-, laces. Is there any medicine that removes warts? Answer: Warts may, in some in- stances, be removed by cauteri- ing them with acetic acid, or by freeing them with carbon dioxide snow. They may also be removed by the application of nitric acid, or by means of an electric needle. You might consult with a physi- cian as to the best type of treat- ment of your warts.

Newspapers have recently in- creased speculation about Princess Margaret, and report that people in Britain are convinced that she will wed Group Captain Peter Townsend in the fall. _ This royal romance has been his- tory's most protracted secret. The fact that newspapers still print the story, with no official cofifirmation, shows the reading public' are gen- uinely interested in the gay little princess. There is nothing inde- cent or improper in this normal human and loyal interest, which has been unnecessarily heightened by the traditional poker - faced "no comment" from Buckingham Palace. An American periodical called 'Time Magazine" gets into the act in its latest issue, announcing, in- correctly, as is its frequent habit, its version of the facts. "News of Margaret's romance was first broken by the American press," it boasts; reports claim that this love affair was first detected and reported by American newsmen who were in England to describe the Coronation of Margaret's sister in June 1953. NO US. "FIRST" This claim makes me smile, com- ing as it does from a country which is always the first to whinny whenever the Russians claim to have achieved any world 'first' which the Americans consider to be their honor. In fact, these on-the-spot U.S. re- Jloriers were merely Johnny-come- atelies rewriting a warmed up ver- sion of a story which this column had given its readers no less than six months earlier. This column is especially well favored with sources of inside in- formation which from time to time permit world scoops to be told ic you, but seldom does any news- paper achieve a scoop by hal' a year on a major news story. Re- cently, for example, you could have read here the first announcement that the DEW, or Distant Early Warning, line of radar stations was to be erected for our protection across our Arctic land and oceans. But it was only three weeks before other sources also disclosed this news to their readers. On 15 December 1952, you may have read in this column the first published hint of Margaret's: ro- mance.
