The Red party, known at AKEL 'Reform Party of the Working People), welcomed the truce and said It "completely deprives the British government of its only argument in favor of continuation of the emergency regulations." British authorities have eased security restrictions only slightly since EOKA proclaimed a "suspension of operations."

LONDON (CP) The Times says thre la an increasing num ber of "suitcase farmers on the large percentage of these 40 fatalities last weekend could have been avoided with the exercise of reasonable care and caution. Ontario had no less than 11 drownings in these 40 weekend fatalities throughout Canada. British-Columbia had two drownings and other fatal accidents. It is quite apparent that carelessness was responsible for several of these drowning mishaps such as inexperienced swimmers venturing beyond their depth or losing their lives from canoes or other small craft where unable to swim.

Scores of agencies throughout Canada, including newspapers, the Red Cross and safety organizations, declaim almost daily against the perilous folly of taking chances either in the water or in the operation of motor vehicles. Yet the ghastly toll continues week after week, indeed day after day. One can understand to a certain extent children and young people tending to take'chances of the nature indicated, but one would think greater care would be taken by adults. Unfortunately this does not appear to be the case. Canadian Prairies.

The life loss is the same even though the impact is less intensified.

Perhaps one reason why the same wave of public horror as would be engendered by a single tragedy exacting such a toll is because a rash of weekend fatalities has become a quite common occurrence in Canada during the summer months and is more or less expected, even taken for granted. Nevertheless, the matter is a very serious one. Any situation is serious where life loss is occasioned.

"I was able to reply," commented Sir Thomas, "that to the best of my knowledge his present residence was the south aisle of Southwark Cathedral; and I went on to venture the opinion that he might find some difficulty in changing it." A similar incident occurred in the 30s when "The Beggar's Opera" by John Gay was revived in Old London, and through nearly three years ran to packed houses.

One day there was delivered at the theatre a letter from the inland revenue department addressed to "John Gay, Esquire" and asking him to make a return of his income from the play. Gay had then been dead for 224 years. So the Immortal Bard, William Shakespeare, might do well to take William Shakespeare should be on his guard for if he isn't, the British inland revenue authorities will be after him. Illustrative of their keen eagerness to garner the pounds, shillings and pence from every conceivable source, Sir Thomas Beecham told an interesting story in the course of a lecture at Oxford. i Sir Thomas was speaking on John Fletcher, an Elizabethan poet and dramatist who died in 1626 and whose play, "The Faithful Shepherdess," Sir Thomas had recently revived and produced.

Within a few weeks after the play was produced, Sir Thomas received a request from the inland revenue department for.the address of Mr. John Fletcher.

Or, on learning of the-close calculating being done by the housewife, they may be terrified at the throught of the supply giving out. This may lead them to eat more than they ordinarily do, thus reducing the supply at a more rapid rate than was anticipated. As the result of these complications there is a grave danger either that there will not be enough food to last until the day of departure or else there will be food left over.

The only resort, therefore, is to fall back upon the neighbors, ft there is a food shortage, they may be prevailed upon to supply the last meal. Or if there is a surplus, it may be turned over to them with the injunction that they enjoy it. Nevertheless, though no strings are attached, it will be hoped that the neighbors will hold the food in trust, ready to be handed back for the first meal on the return. When a family is going on vacation, they do not want to leave perishable food in the house. This calls for careful calculation.

At least a week before departure a housewife should have figured on the amount of food needed for that period of time to keep members of the family alive and happy. The housewife should have figured also on the supply of eatable odds and ends in the refrigerator and planned on how to work them into the meals in such manner as to keep the family from complaining of living on scraps. The supply of food required to keep the family alive and happy, minus the' scraps, should give her the amount of food she must get in market up to the time of her departure. This calculation, however, will he thrown out by members of the family going out to meals or bringing friends un FOR YOUNG MEN TO cation, sponsored by the national conference of Canadian universities Nov. 12-14.
