a corrupt Batista regime. Now most
decent people are wondering wheth-
er Cuba has not simply exchanged
corruption for brutality.
The average man ,on the street,
and the average newspaper editor,
are not in a position to judge events
and persons in far-off Cuba with any
t degree of aecuracy, for we simply
cannot know where truth begins and
falsehood commences in the mess
which has been Cuban politics. Nev-

revolting- about the spectacle of life
and death trials carried on the
FOR BETTER LIVING
This is another of these famous
"weeks" we were talking about re"-
cently. Like many of them it is set
aside for a very worthy purpose and
• is called National Health Week. In
fact it would be difficult to think of
a more important subject, whether
it is considered from the national
or personal aspect;
In our affinent society we are
able to escape many of the ills and

With the latest legislation toi4ed'ine

Our very prosperity, however,
has brought with it new threats to
our physical well-being. Though' we
have the funds for polio vaccine and
money to pay for the finest of surgi-
cal equipment there is the possibility
that our race will gradually shrivel
into muscular atrophy, The men and
women -of a hundred years hence
may have fine, over-sized heads,
crammed with the staggering know-
ledge of the super-atomic age .. , but
diminutive and helpless bodies, bare-
ly strong enough to carry the throb-
bing burden of the monster brains.
Agreed. That is an exaggeration,
but it is, nonetheless, An expression
of the trend which human develop-
ment is following.
One of the' great drawbacks of
this age of science is that there are
less and less ways in which a Irian
can earn a living by the use of his
muscles. There is a tremendous de-
mand for the person with brains and
very little opportunity for the man
or woman who has- nothing to- offer
but brawn, In fact, the speed with
which, we must flit around in our
daily tasks has even removed the
benefits that sufficient walking
might give. There is no time to go
to and from the office under our
own steam.
National Health Week would be
worth while if it pointed out nothing
further than the need of vigorous
exercise, for few of us get enough of
it and it certainly doesn't cost
much.

Dear Sir:
Health Week,
Is Endorsed by
Medical Assoc..
TORONTO—Canada's 15th Na-
tional Health Week; sponsored by
the Ilealth League of Canada in
co-operation with departments of
health. was given the official
blessing of the Canadian. Medical
Association, in a specially prepared
statement, today. The statement
follows:
"The Canadian Medical Associ-
ation is pleased to join with the
Health League of Canada in calling
to your attention the Importanee
of National Health Week in secur-
ing Canada's health,
During the six days, Pebruary
1st to 7th, each Canadian has a
special opportunity to assess his
own responsibility in advancing
his health and that of the 'Coin-
munitY, Each ditiaert Is, to some
degree, the guardian of his health;
each has an, obligation to learn and
apply the knowledge which will
help maintain that health — the
rules of good nutrition, of imrnun-
izAtien, Of accident prevention, of
sound physical and Mental hygiene.
ka particular, the Canadian Medi-
cal Association would stress the
importance of accident prevention
in Canada's health proiraInine.
The medical profession feels that
the principles of prevention have -
not been applied in this area as in
other -disabilities, and it urges
every Canadian Ito do his part to
reduce the 'tragic toll of 'death and
injury exacted each year by acct-
dents:' , - — • -

screaming for the victim's blood,
, Castro might well protest that
he is doing exactly the same thing
as the Allies did e. . at the end of th
second world war, and there would
be considerable justice in his obser-
vation. Though much more time
was taken to bring in sound evidence,
and to seek for true justice4 there is
the .grave question of whether or not
these executions contribute anything
to lasting peace either within or be-
tween nations. Ti:yery person tried
is bound to protest that has accus-

No worthwhile town can stay on
the map too long if it lacks good
hotels and restaurants. People may
put off their purchases of bedroom
suites And vacuum cleaners, but the.
majority of folks we know like to
fill their stomachs on a regular
three-times-a-day basis. It is the
eating places in •a town which,:inake
passers-Qtrongh stop for food and
refreshment ... and while they pause,
for a meal they invariably gain some
feeling about the-town.
If the meal is good and the sure
roundings are attractive theSe ,vi's-
itors are verrapt to leave the town
with the pleasant feeling that they
will come hack again. Conversely
nothing can drive them away more
quickly or more permanently than a
disappointing meal.
The Lees have not only made a
very praisewdrthy and progressive
business move—they have added
something valuable for the entire
COITImanity. Congratulations.

Now don't be silly. No ground-

see whether he had A shadow or not.
It's a safe bet he just wet his index
finger, stuck it up out of the hole,
Mt the ice forming and hustled

groundhogs always have been smart-
er than people. Their ancient cus-
tom of remaining sound asleep
throughout the winter months is
about the wisest way to face this
sort of problem,
Once again .the Ontario Legis-
lature has resumed its formal
duties as the Legislative Authority
of Ontario. On Tuesday, January
27th, His Honour Lieutenant-Go'
ernor J. Eleiller _MaelCay officiated
amidst the usual ceremony at the ,
opening of the fifth session of the
25th. Legislature.
Of the •98 House members, 84 are
Progressive Conservative support-
, ers of Premier Frost's Government,
11 back up' Liberal. Opposition
Leader Winterrneyer and there are
three C,C.F, members. During the
past year there have +been six by-
elections and in. every case a Con-
servative member has been return-
ed to the House.
Since the last' session there have
been extensive changes in, cabinet
personnel. Following the ,natural
gas enquiry, two ministers resign-
ed and three back henchers were
appointed Ministers of •the Crown.
At the end of 1958, the dean of the
Conservative party and former-
premier and minister of agricul
ture, Col. Thomas. L. kentedy, an-
nounced his retirement from poll-
tics, This was followed shortly
thereafter by the resignation frotn
Cabinet of the Honourable George
H. Dunbar, who 'for many .citeades
has been a good friend of all the
people of Ontario. While the do
parting of these senior and ex•
perieneed members of the govern-
nfent is a serious loss to the gov-
ernment, Premier Frog, by his re-
cent appointments of younger and
active men to his •Cabinet, has
