A SWING TO THE DEMOCRATS
The November :.' elections in the United
States showed a swing to" tlie Democrats, who
as a result will have e'ontrol 'of both houses in
the next .Congress- The swing' did not go as
far ,as was predicted ill. some quarters, and the
change in the .Senate was only enough to
'•alter• a slim Republican majority to an
equally slim Democratic one. However,
President Eisenhower will have to face what
might be termed a hostile Congress, but party
names in the States just now do not carry
the strict significance they once had. There
are liberal and conservative Democrats, liberal
and hard-shell Repuh1,ieans, and Mr. .Eisen-
h•awer holding liberal views will no doubt have
support for many of his policies from the
liberals of both parties, who apparently are in
the majority in Congress.
M.r, Eisenhower's 'wide OJ. tlook in inter-
national affairs has always been recognized.
a.nd any tendency towards U.S..- isolationism
will be •checked by the co-operation to be
expected between the President and the Demo -

Apart from the Congressional Actions,
the Democrats last week made importa'tlt gains
in the election of State (0vernors. 'The most

ARTERIES TRANSPLANTED
Three Washington scientists have
just announced the successful
transplantation into four human
patients of sections of the aorta—
the main artery leading from the
heart—taken from calves and pigs.
They dried theanimal arteries
and treated them with a germicide.
This r`killed" the _blood -vessels,
making, them a better basis for a
grafting operation, than plastics,
which are often difficult to model.
In one of the four operations, the
transplanted artery served as a
foundation .upon which new arter-
ial tissue was able to grow. The
graft was then absorbed by the
body -without ill effects.
Following is the report of Alex-
andra Marine and General Hospital

A member of Town Council' ask
ed for and . got a report on the
progress of the Goderich Area
Planning Board last Friday night,
"We (Council) haven't !card too
much about the planning board,"
said councillor Ken Pennington.
"I would like to know if a report
ie forthcoming soon. It was set
up about a "year ago,"
+Mayor J. E, Huckins, a member
of the board, said that it had taken
some time . for the board to "get
going.", He pointed out hovbever,
that in some places it had taken
two to three years for the board
to start functioning after it had
been set up.
Goderich is now zoned, he said,
and a
by-law establishing the zones
is being prepared using a by-law
passed in Sirncoe as an example.
Ready Soon.
The mayor said he expected that
the ' by-law would bei ready within
the next couple of weeks and that
council would see it before it was
sent to the Ontario Municipal
Board for approval.
He pointed out . that Clinton's.
planning board had been started
a year before the one here and had
not completed its work yet, "I
think this constitutes a record,"
the mayor said, "the fact that the
by., -Jaw here will be ready so soon.,"
Councillor Pennington, thanking
the mayor for the report, said that
he had' not intended to be critical,
of the board, but wanted to hear
a progress report.
