This happened a few months ago. It’s always happening. It’s true that Parliament governs broadbasting, but perhaps it shouldn’t. How many wtordls lare spoken about television and radio in toe U.S. House of Representa­ tives or in toe Senate? Very few. They are too busy running a country .to be concerned about a program, dealing with toe old­ est subject in the world — s'ex. Members on both sides of the House applauded when Davie Fulton asked State Secretary, Judy LaMarsh if the CBC will continue to abuse, its: privilege of complete editorial and'cor­ porate autonomy “with dissem­ ination of tots kind of garbage”. Eric Winkler of Grey-Bruce said in part: “I believe toe Can­ adian taxpayer needs no longer pay for this sort of trash.” W. H. A. Thomas of Middle­ sex West said: “The people have a righttoknow Whether or not the Priimje Minister saw this show on Sunday evening. If he did, is he willing to condone the action of the CBC in presenting it?” Mir. .Winkler is on the right track. The people shouldn’t have to' pay to 'support toe CBC or broadcasting in any form. The government should get out 'and stay out of broadcasting once and for all. ’ Mt*. Thomas made' an ass of hliimself by asking whether toe P.M. saw toe show. Who cares ? It’s time all members of par- '‘liament got down to running this country and governing it properly. It’s time they started thinking about important issues like’ enough money for toe aged; for the blind and other handicapped persons;' the wid­ ows1; toe orphans and all other underprivileged Canadians. Yom* Ottawa bums who are making $18,000 a year should start performing the duties* people expect and want. Get out of broadcasting most. of all, stop taxing people for broadcasting. ft Jft~l THE CHRISTMAS at Gin FOR 1966 THE SETTLEMENT With Expo ’67 now well on toe way to .'becoming toe greatest show toe world has ever seen, di­ rectors of the mammoth exhibi­ tion ean look back to the recent past when there was some scepticism abroad •— and they can do lift 'and know that his­ torically speaking, they are in good company. You have only to delye ’into toe pages of “Albert, Prince Consort,” a biography by Hec­ tor Boliitho, to realize that toe jealous, the extremists, and others have always1 hacked at toe pedestal of every great un­ dertaking. Albert, as toe book relates, spent much .of his time on The Great Exhibition, and on an­ swering its enemies, for he was perhaps the greatest proponent of the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park in 1851. Writing his brother, he re­ vealed that extremists in the Church thought toe plan arro­ gant, iand likely to bring wrath from heaven; manufacturers feared that toe British Isles would be flooded’ with cheap goods; doctors' threatened plague and itoe arrival of hordes of foreigners with scores of dif­ ferent diseases; toe London Times abused the Prince for suggesting Hyde Park as the site of the exhibition, 'and re- making ice-, with, toe use of sul­ phuric acid1; and a model of a floating church that 1 drifted among the ships on the Dele- ware river; and 'a colossal or­ gan, crowned by an eagle that played endless tunes; and a great elm tree grew within the Crystal Palace, constructed es­ pecially for the exhibition. Prince Albert's Great Exhibi­ tion of 1851 wag a 'great bus­ iness success as well.'It made an official profit of 186,000 pounds Sterling. Decision was taken to use toe money to encourage toe arts and sciences, and ‘nourish the British mind.’ To that end were buiflt: The Victoria and Albert Museum; toe Science, Natural History and Geological Museum; The Imperial College of Science and Technology; the Royal Colleges of Art,' Music and) Organists ; the Royal Meteorological Soc­ iety; toe Entomological Society and Others. In 1891, after all this, the trustees were able to announce scholarships.' By 1961, 110, years after the Great Exhibition, 960 students from Britain and the Empire, had benefited by these scholar­ ships: 99 became Fellows of-toe Royal Society; two were past presidents and eight became The United Church Women held their December meeting in the church last Thursday evenfog.

If you are in a hot, humid room, or you are very upset, you may breathe much faster than usual. Panting is normal in these cir­ cumstances and is not,real shortness of breath. How Long Has It* Lasted ? Shortness of breath may be a sign of some­ thing wrong the first time it'happens, though it may last only a few minutes. However, it is more usual for shortness of breath to come on so gradually, that you do not notice it for some time. Only when you think back over weeks or months, do you realize that there has been a change in your breathing. That flight of stairs seems so much higher than it was a few months ago! As soon as you realize that you are distinct­ ly more short of breath than you used to be, see your doctor. Shortness of breath isn’t always a sign that something is wirong., Sometimes shortness of ' breath is normal. For instance . . . . . Right after moderate exercise, if you’ve let yourself get badly out of condition. . Right after setting-up exercises, mowing * the lawn, shoveling snow, or any heavy .exertion. When you hurl yourself into violent exer­ cise — tennis, swimming — after a strict­ ly sit-down winter. (It isn’t very smart to do this, anyway.) . When you start getting mound again after serious and prolonged illness. but . . . Normal shortness of breath disappears after a few minutes’ rest. If shortness of breath per­ sists after resting, it may be a sign) of something wrong, and you should see a doctof. t f xifs A Signal Shortness of breath is not a disease in itself. It is a symptom of some underlying disease. The conditions most likely to cause shortness of breath are ... ' ’ . . asthma (an allergic reaction in the lungs) . . emphysema (in which the lungs over­ stretch and hold in too much air) . . bronchitis (inflammation of the lung tubes) . . pneumonia . . heart disease (with lung congestion) Other Symptoms Any unusual shortness of breath, by itself, may be serious. But it is especially serious when it is combined with such other symptoms as' chest pain, cough, blood spitting, wheezing, quick gain or loss of weight. What* To Do About Shortness Of Breath If you are short of breath, rest. There is no other specific treatment for shortness of breath in itself. Even when rest does bring relief, you should get a thorough checkup to find out what is Wrong. If distress continues when you are rest­ ing, better take action right away. Except for rest, the only thing you yourself can do for short­ ness of breath is to see a doctor. With the doctor’s help, the underlying condi­ tion can be diagnosed and treated.
