?. Since there is
rio cure for the
common cold, Dr.
A., L. Kuntz,'
Aerojet-General's
plant physician,
studied the possi-
bility of lessening
absenteeism by re- -1 lieving cold symp-
toms. In this way, perhaps, em-
ployees could be kept comfortable
and "in working condition" despite
their colds.
Altogether 724 employees at,
'both indoor and outdoor jobs were
studied. When these workers came
down with a 'common cold, they
were given Coryban, a conibina-,
tion of 'tested drugs specifically'
aimed at cold symptoms, The pa-
tients received two eapsules, of
Coryban at the onset, followed by
one capsule every four hours.
Dr. Kuntz found • that 83 per
cent of the workers were helped
,
by this course of treatment. Most
of the employees said they felt'
much better and any remaining
symptoms did not interfere with
their jobs. Others who obtained
less marked relief nevertheless
felt they would not have been able
to work without the medication..
' Such symptomatic relief, de-
scribed by Dr. Kuntz as "excel,
lent,..!-' will give the country's fac-
tories, schools And businesses
many addeedays of progress that

One small child and one pair of pointed scissors — the necessary
ingredients for a tragic accident. Little hands and wrists don't
have the skill and control to permit the 'use of any -sort of sharp,
pointed objects.
, If your child is old enough to use scissors at all, see that you pro.
vide only the type with rounded ends, preferably made of plastic
to prevent cut fingers, too.
There is scarcely any article in the house more in demand by the
'little ones than 'mother's scissors -- but it is better to harden
your heart than to rush the child to the hospital
No Eyes to Spare • • •

As Queen Elizabeth and her husband
drove from Government House to
Parliament Hill to open the Ca-
nadian parliAment, the first time a
reigning monarch has performed
that function.
Throughout the drive to the
House and on the return journey, as
well as in the ceremonies in the
Senate Chamber one could not but
be impressed by the calm dignity
'with which the young monarch car-
rigid Out her duties,. She was, with-
out doubt, fully aware of the signifi-
cance of the solemn acts involved in
the opening of a session of the Ca-
nadian Parliament, one of the com-
paratively few places where free
then and women are permitted to
openly express their opinions about
`the. conduct of their own govern-
ment,
There are many today who are
all too willing to scoff at the impor-
tance of the Crown, in an age when
'the monarch has no. rights to enforce
'the regal will upon the citizens of
the nation, However, a glance about
us at neighboring countries would
indicate that the British system of
Monarchy'has its very definite mer-
its.
The average human being stands
in great need of a symbol of perfec-
tion, and without it the events of his
personal, indeed of his national life
are apt to fall into serious confusion.
Think, for a moment of the struggle
which is going on in trance at this
very moment -- because govern-
ment lacks the co-ordinating force
of any individual above the currents
of political warfare. That same
lack of centralized direction in
trance permitted her politicians to
wrangle and argue until the Wer-
rnacht overran their land in 1940.
• Look, again' al. the tragic con-
fusion which exists even in the
United States at the present time,
when there appears to be all but
stalemate, between the president of
the nation and the governor of one
Of its states. We believe that there
are :times when, despite all protes-
tations to the contrary, the Ameri-
can public would be glad of any
solidifying influence which would
provide the stability they see in

The role of the monarchy in the

WATCH FOR SAFETY TI PS
A few weeks ago The Advance-
Times commenced carrying a series
of "safety tips" which appear each
week ,on the editorial page, design=
ed to remind parents .and the gen:
eral public of the unceasing vigi-
lance required if accidents of all
kinds are to be avoided,.
• In order to make the messages
more interesting we have been using
pietures of local children to illus-
trate the various dangers which are
• likely to be encountered in the
course of our daily lives.
To our great' satisfaction there
has been a most surprising amount
of comment about the pictures and
the safety messages which accom-
pany them. The satisfaction, of
course, springs from the knowledge
that the safety messages are being
read and that some progress is
therefore being made in the crusade
-to cut the accident rate.
Over the next few months the
safety feature will touch on a wide
variety of subjects. We hope you
will, continue to be interested and to
let us have your response to the
etieS.

CONSERVATION
KEY TO FUTURE
Speaking to the Lions Club last
week, the chairman of the Middle
Maitland Conservation Authority.
described the aims of such a pro-
gram in • this part of Ontario, He
painted/out some salient facts that
should have been observed here sev-
eral years ago, Although the for-
mal discussions were held before our
moving to this community, .we tine
derstand that a proposal to join a
conserva tion authority was decisive-
ly d.efeated as being a foolish waste
of public funds_ •
. • Without any doubt in the world
conservation programs in one form
or another will have to be under-
taken along the entire Maitland val-
ley in the years to come. Every year
that slips past spells a higher cost
when action is finally taken.. There
are, of course, those who hope that
if local action is delayed long
enough the provincial or federal
authorities will step in and do- the
job. This line of thinking is based
on the foolish premise that we don't
contribute anything to. provincial -
and federal taxes. -
Conservation, in one aspect
alone, deserves serious thought at
once, Have you ever noticed the big
island at the mouth of the Maitland
in Goderich? It ;has been formed,.
over the years, by deposits of topsoil
from the rich farms of `the Mait-
land valley. How long •• can we
afford to throw away the earth from
which our .food is produced? • Are
we headed for the kind of tragic
poverty -Aide has prevailed in the
eroded lands of the Southern. States?
• There are many other aspects to
conservation — the protection of
fiSh and game, the preservation elf
water levels for the production of
crops, supplies .of • drinking water
and for decent recreation areas. Per-
haps it is time to give some serious
consideration to • a problem which
many other sections of Ontario have
long since placed at the top. of the.,
list, Impossible as it may seem, we
are behind the times.
NEW ACT NEEDED?
There are likely to be more
people than usual looking for jobs
this winter and that is one good
reason why a thorough overhaul of
the National Employment Service
might be advisable, says The Finan-
cial Post, which points out:
"The National Employment Ser-
vice was set up in 194-0, after ten
years of depression and chronic un-
employment. It still operates under
the Unemployment Insurance Act
and is closely connected with the
Unemployment Insurance Commis-
sion. This means that the service
function of providing information
about jobs• is linked with the welfare
function of paying benefits to those
who can't find work.
The job of NRS is to collect and
co-ordinate all the available informa-
tion about jobs and job-seekers and
make it freely available to anyone
who has a job that needs doing or a
skill that needs using. The, justi-
fication for government action in
this field is that a government
agency- can serve anyone, and 'can
beat the costs of doing the job oil a
national basis and in bad times as
well as good. This is a positive
function. It needs to be cut alvay
from the negative concept of unem-
ployment. Perhaps NtS should be
transferred to Trade and COnnierce.
Certainly it'should he given an Act
and an atmosphere all its own,"
