R. AYRES Editor G. P. WOODSIDE General Manager Authorized as second class mail by the Post Office Department; _Ottawe TE summer is gone, but who cares? Already a busy winter season is ahead for Prince Rupert residents. Whatever else can be said about Ru- pertites, particularly by the quaint folk down in soggy Vancouver, we do man- age to keep ourselves occupied and en- tertained during the winter. Practically everyone’s tastes can be satisfied one way or another. Bowling has already started and curling will not be far behind. On October 1, the Civic Centre will launch its most am- bitious program in.a decade with everything from polishing rare stones to fat men’s gym classes. Basketball, boxing, gymnastics, vollyball and floor hockey are also scheduled among the spectator sports at the. Centre and there isa host of erat t_classes for those who wish to create useful articles, Also slated during the coming FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1958 Tyne No inactivity during the winter months are four concerts sponsored by the Prince Rupert concert society. There’s a talent show, a big name dance band coming and at Christmas time there will be a choral concert and a carol sing. For the outdoor types there'll be hunting, and if we have a cold snap next spring there’ll be skating and in all probability hockey games. On top of all the fun and games there are association, lodge, and organizational meetings lined up right through until next summer. meetings will be of benefit to the com- munity as a whole as well as the mem- bership. For the foregoing reasons there won’t be much time left’ during the winter for eating and sleeping. Any- one who complains that there is “noth- ing to do in Prince Rupert” must be anti-social or extremely hard to please. Canada’s bill of rights Ne a.move to provide basic legal pro- . tections for Canadian citizens Prime. Minister John Diefenbaker introduced in the house of commons last week some’ legislation that would constitute a ,billsof rights. Unlike the United States, Canada not have the same type of written nstitution with which Americans are aYililiar. While Canadians have en- joyed much the same personal rights and:freedoms as those guaranteed,in:. the “basic charter of this side of the. border, Mr. Diefenbaker apparently thought it desirable to establish a dec- | laration of right and legislate it into law. His Conservative party is now in“a favorable position to do so. . ~It:is worth noting that the propos- ed'bill of rights in Canada seems to.be confined to practical matters. For example, it includes freedom of relig- jon, speech, assembly and of the press. 2M this regard there is no attempt t to guarantee “freedom from want” or “freedom from fear”’—two phrases made popular in this country in the days when New Deal slogans were first merged with those of the Altan- tic charter. Since that time, the so- -ealled “four freedoms” have frequent- ly confused and deceived many Amer- ' jean citizens.: There is, of course, no freedom from want, no freedom from fear. No “such to anyone, The fundamental freedoms in our own bill of rights are good enough and practical enough for most Amer- ' icans. They should be well understood and appreciated throughout our own country. If they are also accepted in legal form by the Canadians, our neighbors to the north should find these guarantees worthy of respect and adherence, . —Spokane Spokesman.

Wortinor INTERPRETING THE NEWS Quemoy shooting ruined China’ s UN chances By LLOYD McDONALD Canadian Press Staff Writer _The United States accused Communist China of trying to shoot its way into the United Nations. On the basis of what happened at. the UN, Peiping apparently shot its way out this year. In the year that Communist China has bid through various intermediary powers for a seat In the world organization, the American- Jed: opposition to its admission has dwindled fram a percentage of 17 In 1954 to the current 54-In the General Assembly’s annual vote. And while the percentage figure may be weighted to over-emphasis because of increased Asian nnd Sovict--bloc membership in the interven- ing period, there is no doubt that the tide has been running in Pelpirig’s favor, »There was serious speculation following this week's renewed refusal In an Assembly vote to discuss the Red China seating Issue that {f.

But until Aug. 23 the U.S. was seen in some quarters as hard up for friends in hte world assembly. This just might have caused a different turn of events In the Assembly’s renewed China consideration when its 18th session opened in the middle of this month but the Communist guns that signalled a new world crisis brought more than oa few waverlng -countries back to the anti-Pelping position. x It was notable that in the China admission debate in the Assembly only Britain, Canada and New Zealand made speeches favoring the renowed shelving of the representation issue. And in each case there was a body of opinion holding the position that this verbal support was only based on the current crisis. External Affaira Minister Smith said as much when he threw Canada’s support to the U.B. in the debate. Britain went out of her way to remind the Assembly that she has long given Pelping diplomatia recognition to Pelping on her own initintive. °. No one else, besides American Ambassador Lodga himself, spoke against the tide of Asian and Soviet-bloc speakers who ecnlled for Red China's admission as a matter of reallsmn—an attitude that many of the govornmentsa who pubsonuantly voted "no" might agree with pri- vatoly, Horn footers From St. Thomas Times-Journal Unneooasary honking can be o hayvard In iteolf, but it is also n symptom of a gronter danger--an impatient, Intolerent or Ignorant driver who may do far worse things than Jean on his horn ring, The vital factor fg the emotion that Influences the brain, that ne- tivates the hand, that presses the Korn,.

People from the “Old World” often remark the Canadian and American fruit, vegetables and meat are good-looking but taste- less, They say that our food is grown and packaged for appear- ance only, and that in the siruggle to attain. picture-book size and color, both flavor and nutrition are forgotten. I suspect that the charge is true. There is no reason why an apple, for instance, should not be large, handsome and tasty all at the same time. But it does not work that way. One quality seems to be gained at the expense of another. The mass technique of our machine civilization have been adapted from the factory to the farm. For maximum profit, live- wire farmers wring as many crops of large vegetables and fruit as they can from the land, keeping the tired soil in artificial fertilisers. ‘good humor with pep pills and vitamins in the shape of synthetic - Other elements in the conspiracy are the North American zeal -for sanitation, and North American concern for the outward ap- pearance of a thing and indifference to its inner nature.

It has no'place in the antiseptic environ- ment which the mass production engineers, the salesmen and the advertising men have made for. us. Furthermore, it takes a little work to wash carrots and pota- toes. North Americans—particularly, North American housewives —are getting lazier all the tim Be. Admiration for size was something that seemed to go with a new continent that was built on a large scale. The importance of a slick, handsome appearance has deen dinned into us now by two generations of entertainers. and advertising men, in maga- zines, films and latterly, television, The idea of nourishment and inner worth—except for lip- service paid to it, for appearance’s sake—has fallen into neglect. The tastless sanitary carrot-and the large handsome, saw- Gust-flavored berry are neat symbols of our civilization, The supermarket, more than any other single institution, is to blame for the trend toward luscious-looking but insipid food. For all its merits of cheapness, cleanliness and convenience, the giant market has placed a premium on looks and has discount- ed flavor and nourishment.
