Britain, the Power tolding a mandate over the Holy Land since it was wrested from the Tories thirty years ago, has quite prop- vriy declined to carry out the UN de- -eision single-handed. She has paid dearly in lives and money for the pri- vilege which has brought_ net more *base than advantage. Now some in- ternational agency will have to be or-• ganixed to carry out the UN plan when it is decided, and at present no UN police force exists. It is extremely doubtful that any plan will be satisfaetory to all parties. • The Palestinian Arabs make up the ,majority in the Holy Land and they claim the legitimate democratic right to govern Palestine. Their claim is based on continuous residence in the country for many centuries and they see no reason why they should not be 'given political independence at once. The Jews in the Holy Land, and the Zionists who speak for many Jews in other lands, but by no means for all of them, aim at making the country a Jewish state, They base, their claims on. former possession of Palestine, and the Word of God, giving them ownership of the Holy Land, They support their case by citing the famous British promise to "view with favour the es- tablishment of a Jewish National Home," the League of Nations Man- date which instructed Britain to ful- fill this pledge, and the notable econ- omic achievement s of the Jewish community- settled in Palestine since 1920. These conflicting claims are lerzcori- cilable. No possible settlement will !please both Arabs and Jews. Even a ,partition of the Holy Land will be „un- i•acceptable to either, so the decision, NEWEST WORLD WONDER Thousands of visitors every month drive to the top of Palomar Mountain near San Diego, California, to inspect the giant 500-ton telescope that in 1048 will begin to probe unknown reaches of the universe. Inside the observa- tory dome they gasp at the size of the five-storey-tall instrument. They mar- vel at the ingenious engineering by which the massive parts will be made to move in tracking distant stars. The Palomar telescope is one of the won- ders of the modern world, and its 200- inch mirror is the largest ever made. Meanwhile, in the optical shop in California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, the telescope's mirror disk is undergoing final shaping, At Palo- mar the telescope's structural parts must be true to a thousandth of an inch; at Pasedena, a millionth of an inch is acceptable tolerance.- No mech- ancilal measuring device can be call- brated so finely, so technicans use the wave length of light, 1150,000 inch as whatever it is, will have to be enfor- ced by the UN pollee force. The pro- cedure decided on at New York at pre- sent is that a special UN committee of enquiry will study the Palestine ques- tion and submit a report by next Sept- ember. otiele efter III~IiI/lIIwIIINl1l~lll~llll~lll~lll~lll~gl/III~III>•III~IUNIII~IpN111~111~1114111~41~1114g1~ Ii • n • ..1 17 N * * * DOMESTIC CURRENT DANGEROUS Those 110 volts of electricity cours- ing through the wires in your home can do more than shock you, yet far too many people assume that domestic current is harmless. Every year many people are electrocuted because of carelessness or the use of faulty elec- tric appliances and equipment. Because of the dangers from faulty or improp- erly used electrical equipment, ade- quate safety codes have been devised, and the effects of these codes have' been encouraging. However the num- ber of accidents which still occur, in- dicates that the domestic current con- tinues to kill the careless. Equipment built or repaired by am- ateurs is always hazardous. Dangers start with the youngster, who through curiosity and inquisitiveness, tampers with the electric circuit and attempts to connect up gadgets that he may have "invented." Brass pull chains on light sockets constitute a potential source of serious shock, as the metal pull chain provides direct electrical socket and when the socket becomes ! contact with the brass base of the light = activated through any faulty insulation, the pull chain is also charged. • Long pull chains should be made of nonconducting cord (non-metallic), a and in the case of short pull chains, as .. are used in bathrosms, a glass or plas- tic link should be inserted in the chain if WINGHAM as near as possible to the brass lamp socket. Floor lamps may convey the fatal current if the cord becomes fray- ed at the point where it enters the three miles to school this has been standard; thus permitting the standard considered a hardship and unneces- to become charged.
