PSRT@Q PERRY The new Conservative leader, 53-vear old Robert Lorne Stan- field seems to be quite an agree- able choice by most Canadians, whether it's the press or the public. However, if Manitoba Prem- . ier Duff Roblin had been elect- ed, one could expect that the re- action would again have been much the same. This could very well have happened, if Davie Fulton and his supporters instead of cast- ing their ballots for Stanfield had swung behind the Manito- ba. Premier and given him their support. The choice of Stanfield also appears to be quite agreeable with the Liberals and New De- mocrats. Prime Minister Les- ter Pearson in a telegram to Mr. Stanfield extended congra- tulations and expressed sincere regards on his election and said he looked forward to meeting the new P.C. leader as soon as "it was convenient. Editorial Page PC's Make Good Choice Mr. T. C. Douglas, N.D.P. leader, said Mr. Stanfield must have a forum to be heard as soon as possible and must be - given an opportunity to indi- cate by vote where he stands on various issues and what his alternative policies are. John Diefenbaker, who from the beginning received less sup- . port than expected and with- drew after the third ballot came to the platform and urged sup- port and loyalty to the new leader. Mr. Stanfield, new in Federal politics will need support, and the candidates in running for the leadership are all qualified and well seasoned politicians with years of experience in Ottawa. : If Stanfield at some future election should regain power for the Conservatives, he will have quite an impressive line of cabinet ministers to fill the more important positions. It'll be interesting to follow further developments. September Is Arthritis Month To more than 1,000,000 Cana- dians, pain and suffering due to > arthritis and the other rheuma- tic diseases are a daily aspect of life. -Too few people are aware of . the heavy toll which these diseases take in both human isery and economic waste. More than 285,000. Canadians are .disabled by arthritis and rheumatism; 63,000 of these are totally or severely incapacitat- -ed. Last year, more than 9,000,- 000 work days were lost in Can- ada as a result of these diseases, at a cost of $100,000,000 in wages alone. It is now possible to control some forms of arthritis. Many ETE e sufferers are able to live nearly normal lives. £3 As a result of effective and progressive research during the past few years, it has been de- monstrated that such disability can be prevented in about four out of five patients. The keys are eaply diagnosis and usé of modern treatment techniques. ' This is the new hope for all ho suffer from arthritis. Arthritis research has been spearheaded by the Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism So- ciety, organized in 1949 to im- prove methods of . treatm and learn the cause and cure o the diseases. 3 f RE = 7 % 50 YEARS AGO September 13th, 1917 The teacher at Raglan school for the next term. is Miss Lottie 'Kellington, Miss Low is the teachef for Prince Albert Public School, and Miss Elliott for Seagrave. - Mr. Clarence Vickery has been appointed assist: ours. a A Made to measure suits and overcoats $29.50.

After this week, I won't say another word 'about Expo. But I wish every school child in the world could see "it. First time we ever saw the Expo site was about four years ago, on a trip to Quebec City.

The prophets were appalled when it turned out to be the greatest show on earth. And it is. /Aside from the magnificent pavilions, Expo has an atmosphere, a flair, that may never be equalled. There is a gaiety, a courtesy, a lack of commercialism, that is like heady wine, in this sour, ill-mannered, materialistic age. Ah, the gaiety and courtesy with which we were given directions for getting home, our second night there! The parking at tendants put us on the right road with in- effable Gallic charm. Half an hour later, the signs said we were heading, not west for Ontario, but south-east for New Brun- swick. ROL, ; I stopped and asked for directions. The chap spoke no English.

I don't suppose you could take a plot of ground the same size in the entire world and find one-tenth as many beauti- full girls as there are at Expo. I wouldn't classify this sort of thing as "trouble". ' But the girl-watching we did ruined the ordinary type. We spent hours and hours watching Kim. Or trying to.
