. MEMBER OF CANADIAN WEEKLY NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION = $ a aT Thursday, September 14th, 1961 THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE Notes and Comments 'The Two Giants When te uncommitted nations of Af- A rica and Asia meeting in Belgrade failed to denounce Russia for resuming atom bomb tests, it became clear that the voice _of the neutral nations is but a very 'weak squeak indeed. Khruhschev gave his' word that. his country would not be the one to first break the agreement which suspended testing, In spite of this he gave orders for the Soviet scientists to initiate a new Wepies' of detonations. His word is no d. It was expected that the neutral nations would rise up in righteous wrath to challenge him on both counts--for go- ing back on his word and for starting once again to loose radio active material in the atmosphere. To date the United States has tested some 'one hundred and forty bombs; the . Soviet Union some eighty; Great Britain has-set off about. forty .and France, the other member of the nuclear club about four. So the Americans are still well out in front as far as the testing programme goes, . Just as soon as it was learned that Russia was testing bombs once more, the © United States announced that it too, would 'resume tests. --that such tests would be limited to under -- However, it was stated ground explosions and that atmospheric testing was out for the time being. Russia now has a one-hundred ton meg- aton bomb and apparently she wants the- rest of the world to get a very realistic picture of just what kind of havoc such Swimming Pools It is considered fashionable to "have a backyard swirhming pool in these enlight- ened days.

Per- haps he curses the economic system; perhaps he blames himself; perhaps he thinks lady luck had a finger in the pie. I hope, however, that he got the message--that he is just not a good restaurant man, and he ought to There is little doubt that both Russia and the United States are the only two powers in the world that can play this 'know. ~ that the United States has enough bombs game of matching nuclear bombs. They know this and so do all the other countries including the neutrals. , Therefore, whe- ther we like it or not we're going.to have to let the two giants decide our destiny and the destiny of the whole of civiliza- tion. All other powers are so weak in comparison that it doesn't really matter what they do or what they say. The two to watch are the United. States and Russia. They will call the shot or build the peace. One other thing they Russia is well aware of the fact to pulverize her from one end of the country to the other; Russia. has:almost reached the.point in her own production of bombs which would enable her to do exactly the same. thing -to the.

We welcome the Waddington family to our parish and our church school. The W.A. met last Tuesday, and we hope to have a report of that meeting for our next column. A welcome sight that greeted our Rector and his family on their return was green grass in front of the Rec- tory, after more than a year of up- heaval in connection with the new find another position in which he can serve someone satisfactorily. In a planned economy, of course, the man would have been moved out of the restaurant by inspectors. They would have decided that he was a fail- ure, and would have bluntly told him 80. There are some people who be- lieve in such planning, done by ex- perts, and consider it the most effi- cient system. It seems to me, how- ever, that inspectors might blunder. They might declare a man a failure because they didn't like the way he parted his hair. Our competitive system operates more justly, and with an impersonal efficiency that cannot be denied. Our system gives men the right to fail or to succeed.. To succeed, they must serve the public, not the arbi- trary tastes of inspectors or effici- ency experts. And after all, the pub- lic is the best judge of the service it desires. have dotted the horizon for years, but are now falling into disrepair, ap- pealing only to artists who see in their leaning demolition, a picture-that wil) soon fade from the Maritime scene. Today the hay is cut, baled, stored or sold in a matter of hours. During our first night's stop I admired pic- ture frames that enhanced oil paint- ings of the area. I was told some enterprising and imaginative person had reclaimed the weathered boards of the little marsh barns for this pur- pose. At least they will have some sort of perpetuity. The name "Tantramar", by the way, was derived from the French name "Tintamarre" meaning loud noise. It was -given--to this region by early French settlers because of the noise of the myriad wild fowl which fre- quented the area in spring and fall. Every place name in this™ part of Canada has a meaning and musical lilt.

For cen- turies, this 80 square miles of lush ground in the provinces of New Brun- swick and Nova Scotia has fed and fattened some of the finest cattle the country can produce.

The. meeting opened with | hymn and Prayer. Mrs. Toombs read the Scripture and Mrs. Roach gave the topic, the Theme "This distracted World needs quietness". Mrs. Eva Hunter played the Electric organ and her solo was. enjoyed. Mrs. Fielding presided for the busi- ness meeting, . The minutes of Aug- ust meeting were adopted as read.

The October meeting will be at Mrs. Jim Cawker's. The meeting closed with theme and ode and while Mrs. Toombs and her group prepared a delicious salad lunch, Mrs. Gwen Lamb showed col- ored slides of the three weddings of recent date.
