CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, August 29, 1957 OUT IN THE SOCIALISM‘'S POORHOUSE Political shape-ups, even in totalitarian countries, don’t happen without cause. Some observers attri- bute the recent shake-up in the Kremlin to the strug- gle for power among Russia’s 3 jing clique. it seems probable, however, that the reasons behind the Kremlin changes go far deeper than that. The real cause for the Kremlin's concern and for the changes that are taking place is a recognition that state socialism is one colossal flop. From East Berlin to Vladivostock and Peking, there is more human misery, more abject poverty, than anywhere else in the world. Housing is shocking by Western standards. Clothing is poor and scanty. Food is scarce - and expensive. : Of ail the Kremlin leaders, Soviet communist party boss Khrushchev is the only one astute enough to see that the socialist shambles of the Soviet em- Pire must be re-built, and that if it isn’t Russia‘’s dream of world domination will have no chance of fulfilment. That is why Khrushchev is willing to cast aside the dogmas of Marxism. That is why he finds himself at odds with those weaned on the economic ideologies of the planners. That is why a Russia run by Khrushchev is probably more dangeraus in the final analysis, than a Russia irrevocably committed to. the doctrines of socialism, [ Individual incentive has been lacking all along in socialism’s poorhouse. Socialism’s trouble is that it just won't work. ‘This explains Khrush«!:ev‘s differ- ences with Malenkev and Molotov. For Khrushchev is ‘willing to violate dogmas in a desperate effort to smake the Soviet Union the rival of the capalist world in economic: power and in productivity. lf he discards socialism, there is a possibility that he might succeed. If he dogs, then the West will face greater peri! than ever from Soviet imperialist ambitions. ° PEOPLE ARE WELCOME IN CANADA Although mosr Canadians have been generously willing to welcome the thousands 9f ‘Hungarian refu- gees to this country, some are worried about how the influx will effect Gur prosperity. There are questions being asked about the pos- sibilities of Canadians losing their jobs to the new- comers, or at least having our High wage scales re- duced by the competition. The economic. experts of our country feel thot these are normal questions but claim that Canada’s record proves that heavy immigration encourages Prosperity and boosts:expansion, Professor David C.

All of us feel that we have hidden talents we should exercise. We all possess aspirations in some form of skill; we want to learn to play the -.' piano, learn’ a foreign language, increase our-under- " standing of art, politics or religion. We make a mental © note of this desire, then we immediately cancel out the ambition by thinking, “I éan start sometime in the future.” 3 Most of us in this regard ore wearing our wish: bones where our backbones ought to’be. But someday. .in the twilight of our lives, we're going to wake up to the realization that there is very little. future left. All the joys we could have made for - ourselves have frittered away with misspent time. Why don’t we start right now to do the things we know we should do? Is it because we don’t want to replace our soft daydreams with the harsh reality of effort? The future is not a novel to read later, at leisure. The future is now.

Her duty is to track down missing seamen all over the world. The 53 year-cld widow is well-suited for her job. Her own husband was a former sea captain. Her . official title is Director of the Bureau of Missing Sea- men, and her clues are gathered from the far flung corners of the seven seas, Mrs. Wessel isa regular bulldog Sherlock Holmes. She never gives up on a case unless she hears that the a Party is deceased, Her main weapons are a telephone, 9 typewriter, woman's intuition and the ability to talk to. people about their problems. No one is ever found by the bureau who does nat want to be found. The clients do not have, to pay for the search and neither the law nor collecti cies can avail th of the services, Mrs. Wessel delights in bringing people together who have not seen each other for years. A Latvian woman living in Rechester- wanted to find her sea- faring brother whom’ she had not seen in 20 years. It. took Mrs, Wessel five years to track down the - wanderer, but she was finally able to communicate with him in Melbourne, Australia. “Five years is a long time,’’ Mrs. Wessel admits, “but we've had them take a lot longer than thet. We once hunted 11 years for g@ seaman. to tell him he'd inherited a small fortune.” Most of the cases that reach Mrs. Wessel’s desk are about seamen who have stopped writing or who ere running away from someone. The latter. cases are more in the realm of human relations problems rather than detective tactics. In such cases Mrs. Wessel be- comes a counsellor arid is happy to report she has patched up more than her share of family conflicts.

As is often the case, when a new remedy comes to the attent-. ion of the very large number of people suffering from rheumatic diseases, patients are over anxious to try it out. Because this particular drug is available without prescription, large quantities are being purcha- sed by patients on their own, without advice of their physician. This is a most dev: elopment, Since this drug, as any other, may have untoward side effects, it should be taken only under the care of the physician who knows the diagnosis and understands the nature of the medication, ‘Dr. H.
