instances of aggression or threatened
aggression, and yet not be prepared
and equipped to carry its investiga-
tion to a ,conclusion by force. This
means there mist be freedom of action
outside the range of the veto power,.
Thereiri lies the present UN weak-
ness, Russia is using its veto power to
defeat the legitimate wishes of the UN
Security Council. No doubt Moscow
would like to see a "provisional" Greek
Government established in the country
which Russia tould„recognize and more
openly assist to a complete conquest
of Greece. In such a course lies the
risk of an open clash with the Western
Powers, Whether or not the Soviet
bloc is prepared to take that risk, at
this time, it is one which the United
States and Britain might have to take
in order to hold the new well-defined
line in Europe.
The UN Charter forbids and cannot
allow aggression to be accomplished by
coercion, or pressure or subterfuges
such as political infiltrations. The UN
weakness disclosed by the Greek- Al-
baeia border incidents must be recti-
fied at once by a change in the Big
Power Veto powers or serious trouble ,
lies ahead. ',The UN mnst make it
clear at once that it will act to prevent
aggression, * *
HAVE YOU SEEN SAUCERS?
"Flying saucers" have been seen in
Canada, forty-three of the States in the
United states, Iran, the Netherlands,
England and Australia. Susceptible
Wingham Advance-Times Iwgotiati.40, their difficulties.
Recent events have shown coeciu-
people as far apart as New York and
Australia had a wish to believe that
they saw high-speed missies flying at
great altitudes and so their susceptible
Minds saw the "flYing saucers".
Susceptible sailors have been seeing
sea serpents for centuries and even
canny Scots have a habit of seeing the
Loch Ness Monster, People often see
what they want to see, but they can't
believe what they think they see. Dur-
ing World War One scores in London
reported that they heel seen regiments
of Russian soldiers trooping "secretly"
through the streets at night. There
never was any large body of Russian
troops in Great Britain during the war.
The wish was father to the thought. •
Even scientists have been known to
"see things", Astronomers who are
convinced that Mars is not dead have
seen fine lines that they believe may be
canals, Ophthalmologists point to the
vagaries of vision as a possible explan-
ation of "seeing things". They , say
that slight changes in the pressure, vol-
ume or velocity of the blood in the re-
tina will make many of us see grayish,
purplish clouds that seem to sweep o-
ver the field of vision, 'but with vary-
ing degrees of distinctness. Instead
of luminous clouds there may be rivers
of light or a succession of scintillations
that resemble fireworks.
It is worth noting that some flying
saucers were said to emit flames. Some
ophthalmologists have also suggested
that the flying saucers may be muscae
volitantes, or "flying flies". These are,
sliadovsrs thrown on the retina by cells
in the fluid with which the eye is filled.
However, none of the well-known vis-
ual illusions, that of the flying flies in-
cluded, explains the flying saucers,
Susceptible people will continue to see
what they wish to see.

SWIMMING LESSONS
COMMUNITY NEED
The shocking number of accidental
deaths every week-end by drowning
are a warning that each and every per-
son should learn to swim. It is time
that something was done in this com-
munity to teach the rudiments of swim-
ming to each individual before any fa-
tality by drowning occurs here.
It is easy to learn how to swim and
it is a pleasant, healthy recreation.
Unfortunately, Wingham still lacks a
suitable swimming pool, but there are
many places along the Maitland river
which will do temporarily at least.
Perhaps the best and most easily ac-
cessible place for group swimming in-
struction, at the rpesent time, is the
First Bush Swimming Hole.. The Rec-
reation Connell should arrange for ex-
uert instruction to be given each per-
son, young or old, who wishes to learn
how to swim.

WEEKLY THOUGHT •
Live tvisely. Get plenty of rest, eat
the right foods, plan for recreation.
Good physical health is conducive to
good mental health. * * *

The recent trouble on the Greek-Al-
bania border has revealed a serious UN
weakness, Undoubtedly the Greek
Communists, backed as they are by the
Soviet's puppets, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria
and Albania, are. responsible for this
latest trouble, They will miss no op-
portunity to achieve a coup d'etat and.
might even be temporarily satisfied to
seize control of part of the country
and establish a "provisional Govern-
ment", It was to faciliate conciliation
of just such disputes that the United
States recently sponsored with the Se-
curity Council a further recommenda-
tion for a semi-permanent Balkan
Commission to "oversee" the frontiers
and guard against future incidents,
Russia promptly rejected the propo-
sal as she and her satellite, Poland, had
rejected the whole report. Appraisals
of the upsurge of the Communist-back-
ed guerillas cannot be left to guesses
about what is fact and what is propa-
ganda in the latest skirmishing, and
this guerrilla war is in direct defiance
of the UN's Balkan Commission which
two months ago found Yugoslavia,
Bulgaria and Albania guilty of endan-
gering peace by aiding and abetting the
Greek rebels. It recommended con-
Nciliation rather than punitive measures,
with the four governments concerned
