Canadian
Election

THE Canadian P arliament,
l. dominated by the National
Liberal Party, has been dissolved
and new elections will be held
June 27.
Parliament might have stayed
in session until August, 1850, its full
ive-year term, but Prime Minister
Louis st. Laurent decided it was a
propitious moment for his government
to go before the people. He made the
decision in Ottawa after a tour Of
western Canada.
Both the Liberals and their chief
opposition, the Progressive Conserve
tives, 60 into the campaign with new
leaders.
st. Laurent was chosen Liberal
Party leader at a convention last
August to succeed the retiring w. L.
Mckenzie King. Under the Canadian
political system, the leader of the
majority party automatically becomes
prime minister. Canada has not yet
had the opportunity of expressing its
opinion Of st. Laurent at the polls.
For Trade With U. S.
st. Laurent is a 67-year-old cor.
poration lawyer, the son of French
speaking father and Irish mother. He
is staunch advocate of closer trade
with the United States.
The new Conservative leader is
George Drew, handsome 54-year-old
former premier of Ontario.
The Liberals, who have been in
power since 1885, had a slim margin
in the old House of Commons-125
out of total of 245 seats. The Con.
servatives had SO seats. '-.'..'
The new House will have 262 seats.
Ten of the new seats stem from a re-.
distribution of districts and seven
from the new province of Newfound-
land, which joined Canada March 81.
Canada elects only the House Of
Commons. Senators are chosen for life
by the government.
Drew has attacked the governmental
financial policies, accused it of a
lethargic defense program and urged
negotiation of more trade contracts
with Britain
Bipartisan Foreign Policy
On such issues as the North Atlantic
pact and the international wheat
government, however, Conservatives
voted with the Liberals.
One of the last acts of the expiring
House was to ratify the North Atlantic
treaty 1876 to 0.
Two of the most important laws
passed by Parliament were the Act of
1946 establishing Canadian citizenship
and adoption of terms of union with
Newfoundland. Previously Canadians
had been considered subjects of King
George. The addition of Newfound-
Land gives Canada its 10th province.
49,. Coalition May Be Necessary
= There is some feeling among po-
litical analysts that the Liberals may
receive the most seats in the new Par
lament yet fall short of a working
majority and thus have to fall back
upon help of the smaller factions.
OF these, the Socialist Cooperative
Commonwealth Party is the largest
with 80 seats The Social Credit Party,
which advocates monetary adjust
mentS, has IL seats.
The Communists had no seats in the
old Parliament but they will enter the
lists with several candidates, includ-
ing their leader, Tim Buck.

Time
Margin of Error

Time-correct time-is almost
phobia in the United States. This is
the land of the three-minute egg,
daylight saving and 3O-minute time
checks on the radio. American scien-
lists know absolute accuracy in the
field of time is a goal which they may
never attain. Yet they continue to
strive for it.
Toward that end, the Naval OBJ
servatory has set up a new observa-
tory in Florida to correct an error of
four one-thouSandthS of second a
day. That amounts to a change of
some three or four seconds a century.
The Naval Observatory, official
us. timekeeper, is in Washington.
But its new station at Richmond, Fla,
because it has better weather, prom
ises to cut the margin of error to one
one-thousandths of a second daily
or one complete second every 500
years. That's not perfect, scientists
admit, but it is a step in the right
direction.
The mistake results from the fact
that the earth, like all aging things,
is slowing down.
Scientists measure time by check
ing the earth's rotation against the
stars. Since the earth's rotation varies
from year to year, it throws measure
ments off and makes your watch
wrong.
The Navy telescope at Richmond,
where visibility is clearer than in
Washington, will be in better spot
to check up on the earth's erratic
Whirl.

TRUCE: Is Russia Ready to End Cold War?

A INFORMATIVE American
IA sources in Germany incline
to the belief that the Soviet Union
wants not only to end the Berlin
blockade but to shelve the cold
war, at least temporarily, in the
hope of lifting the economic iron cur
tain.
One top American source, who has
been dealing with Russia continuous
ly since the end of the war, expressed
it this way:
Russia has lost the battle for Ber-
lin. She has asked for a truce. This
truce is needed in order to regroup
her forces and launch a new attack
with new methods. Her aims have
not changed but her tactics have"
Sweeping Concessions
This official or officials predicted
that Russia would enter a new period
of cooperation with the west. He said
the counterblockade and boycott had
shut Russia out of all western affairs
from the Baltic to the Adriatic, and
that to regain foothold in western
Europe the Kremlin may make con-
cessions so sweeping the west may be
embarrassed by them. He said:
"In Germany, she probably will
agree to the western occupation
statute and other proposals in order
to set up a central German govern
ment in which she will have a voice.
At worst Russia will have created a
German buffer state. At best she has
a chance to influence the German
government and swing it into her
CAMP"
Economic Starvation
Such concessions in Germany would
be pointleSs unless they were accom-
panied by lifting of the Soviet cur
tain on eastern Europe, this source
pointed out.

Preventing, Treating
the Common Cold
Yom- Health

them have been proved worthless,
according to the U. S. public health
service. They not only fail to pre-
vent or cure colds, but many of
them are harmful, as they contain
drugs, alcohol and sometimes strong
cathartics.
AS a result of careful investiga-
ton, we know that the ~vaccines, or
so-called "serums," given by mouth
or as "cold shots,'' have failed to
prevent colds.
Vitamins in tablets, oils, treated
foods, cough sirups or cough drops
have no effect on either the number
of cold you may catch or their
severity. 1t is important, however,
to maintain good bodily resistance
by eating a properly balanced diet,
one which contains the vitmains
necessary to good health.
Cold baths, the use of sleeping
porches and similar hardening
processes" are not recommended, as
they have been found to be of no
real benefit as cold p%reventives.
There are a few simple things you
can do to lessen the chance of TAX
ing cold:
1. Avoid people with colds when
ever possible.
2. Wash your hands often, espe-
cially before eating and after touch
ing a person sick with cold.
8. Avoid chilling and wet feet.
Change to dry clothing quickly after
exposure to inclement weather.
4. Eat well balanced meals. a
good diet should include milk and
fats, plenty of green vegetables,
fruit and some amount of meat or
meat substitutes.
s.. Get plenty of rest. Children re-
quire more sleep than do grownups.
6. Keep rooms well ventilated. A
healthful room temperature is not
higher than 68 to 70 degrees; bed
rooms should be even cooler.
How to Treat a Cold
There is as yet nc medicine that
will 'cure" a cold. Medicine pre-
scribed by doctors does make you
more comfortable but it does not act
on the cold virus. 1t is the body's
own machinery which best fights
the virus. If you have not already
been overfatigued, exposed to harsh
temperatures OF become under
nouriShed. YOU can throw off a cold
easily with rest and proper diet.
Be cautious about taking sedatives
and using nose drops. Overdosing
with either may be dangerous. Some
that they i~rritate and injure the
delicate tissues, and the virus then
has a better chance than ever to
operate and spread.
Sedatives may be dangerous be-
cause they mask the symptoms and
conceal the real damage the virus
is doing. 1t is best, therefore, to play
safe by consulting your doctor who
knows what medicine you should
have.
Briefly, then, this is the best way
for you to treat a cold:
l.. Rest at home in bed.
2. Keep comfortably warm and
protected from drafts.
8. Drink plenty of hquids-water
soups, milk and fruit drinks.
4. Eat a light but nourishing anc
appetizing diet.
