Pripie Minister Attlee used it recently its the British House of Commons and its use occasioned no comment, as everybody in the British Isles is fam- iliar with the word and its various meanings. Thus sponsored, it will likely migrate now to North America. The common explanation of spiv is that it stands for "suspected persons and itinerant 'vagrants", but a spiv may be neither suspect nor itinerant, He may be a person who lives by the dubious use of his wits, but always keeps just inside the law; and he may be a card sharp, a confidence man, a racketeer, a black market operator or a bookmaker's runner. His predomin- ant characteristic is that he does no useful work, These are all spivs of a sort; but the and authentic spiv is that shift- less hanger-on, apparently unemployetl but never quite Droke loafer who •is too lazy and shiftless, to even think up a racket. There are such characters in ';every country SO spiv should soon he Iused all over the world. It is a short word typical of the contemptuous mon- !osyllable the British word-comers like ito use to express opprobrium. "Scab" and "nark" are other well-known ex amples. - * * RIO DE JANEIRO CONFERENCE Foreign Ministers of the twenty-one SHERBONDY'S COFFEE SHOP MEALS LUNCHES FOUNTAIN SERVICE Delicious Ice Cream Sodas and Sundaes Bricks always available Next to Lyceum Theatre WINGHAM Arneriean Republics are meeting in Rio De Janeiro, capital of Ilrazil, to draft a hemiaehersie defense treaty-within the framework of the United Nations. Charter, This Rio meeting is the di- rect outcome of the Pan American Conference held in Mexico early in 1945 when the war bad still six_ months to run. At that time the twenty nations- Argentina Was not present as she was suspected of Fascist sympathies--drew, up and signed the most positive affir- mation of Pan American solidarity ever promulgated, up to that date. It was called the Act of Chapultepec and it laid down the principle that aggres- sion against any of the signatories should be considered aggression a- gainst all. The twenty nations pledged themselves to collective action, first by economic sanctions and then, if neces- sary, by the use of armed force, a gaiust a Power guilty of attacking any one pf them. A few weeks after the signing of the Chapultepec. Act, Argentina accepted the Act and declared war on 'Germany and Japan. At the present meeting of the Foreign Ministers in Rio, Argen- tina is represented and has, decided not to press an earlier proposal that only unanimous decisions should be binding.. In other words, Argentina will not de- mand a right of veto. The Conference appears to have good reasons for being hopeful and expectant of success, The twenty-one Republics are plan- ning a Security league of their own, "Within the framework of the UN Charter"-that is one of the key phras- es in the program of the Rio Confer- ence, but not in isolation from,or op- position to the world organization. In general, the plan to be worked out in Rio fits perfectly into the global scheme embodied in the Charter. The Pan American arrangement will be only one of many such alliances; Can- ada and the United States form an- other regional defense area, the nations of Western Europe another, the Pacif- ic countries another, and so on. Pro- vided they stay within the UN Charter, they form buttresses to the world or- ganization. * * FOUR MONTHS ON A RAFT Six Scandinavian scientists have ar- rived on an uninhabited island in the South Pacific ocean after a four-month voyage on a raft from Peru, South America.

They -have 'proven their WO- tention that the islands of the South Pacific may have been colonized by South Americans and not by Asiatics, The voyage of these six. scientists for four months on a raft also is wel- come proof that all mankind is not speed-crazy. At a time when we read and hear so much about speed records being broken, like the recent record- breaking flight of Mr. ,Odorn around the world in seventy-three Yours, it is refreshing and reassuring to know that other famous men are willing to drift for four months on the stormy South Pacific ocean just to prove a can be accomplished merely 'by look- ing your problem in the eye. Basically, worry has its roots in indecision. We worry about money matters because we're uncertain as to just where we stand. We worry about suspected ill- ness because we can't bring ourselves to see a doctor. Chronic indecision reaches a climax in frustration. And the end-product of frustration is a ner- vous breakdown. We must face our shortcomings frankly and set out con- sciously to overcome them and thus free ourselves from the bonds of wor- ry. ST.
