"Used as pack animals i n the C a -
boo gold rush! Way up north i n that
1 country! Impossible!"
The boy from the Cariboo, the far
ntenor of northern B . C , insisted he
nght, and unfolded the unbe-
|:evable story. • • • '
Il started just 100 years ägo vhen
government of the United States
ught 70 camels from Egypt for its
ny Tranfiport Service. After tra-
Jelliag 1,200 miles, over mountains to
California, by camel caravan, a gen-al
pred;cted that soon ali mail
M d be carried by camel. •
San Francisco merchant, Otto
•sche by name scented a fine way to
l:e a big plle of money. He chart-
Ired a ship and sailed across the P a -
Ific to Manchuria. He brought back
|»o shiploads of camels which sold
lor around $450 each. This TVas good-f)
usin2a5. So he chartered another
up, the Dollart, and sailed to S i ­iriä
for more. •
It was just at this time that the fa-nous
Pony Express aroused a whh:l
excitement. By a combination of
M^y, steamboat, and ponies, mail
i taken from San Francisco to New
^ork, right across the continenty i n 12
m. telegrams i n . eight days. Soon
Y^iT ihat the first rairoad wa5 built
pght through the Rocky Mountains,
San Francisco, The Pony Express
ad seived its turn and gave way .to
frogress.
Biit vhat of the camels? The Döl-prt
wa3 an ancient sailing ship. a
riree-master, and the voyage acrosq
p Pacific was a long and pahiful
pe- Tne ship rolled and pitched and
|«s€d. day after.day Week after Week
fonth after month. The camels, klng
f the desert, at home i n the wlde
p n spaces of sänd: sunshine and
P> air, were crowded into the
V^iy stinking hold of a atorm-tossed
FP- There one after another, they
grew sick and died. When they final-ly
reached San Francisco, only 20 of
the original 44 camels were still alive.
By now the Pony Express had come
and gone; the mails were carried by
rail, So who wanted camels? A few
were sold to circuses and zoos. Some
were displayed i n San Francifco at
50c a look.
•Unexpectedly a new market for ca­mels
appeared. Up in the wilds of
British Columbia a great gold rush
was on. There was no Pony Express
and no railway over the Rocky Cari­boo
Road. • Pack horses and mules
were very much i n demand. And after
ali camels could go for days without
water, Ilve on sage bruaih and carry
half a ton some 30 miles a day. So 23
of Otto Esche's camels were brought
north by steamer.
For about a year, the camels made
regulax trips on the Cariboo road as
paok animals. The rocks were hard
on their feet, accustomed as they were
to desert sanda, and they had to be
re-shod too often. Camels shoes can
still be picked up i n the Cariboo coun­try.
But what was worse. the horses
and mules had never seen anything of
the kind before and were terrified.
They bolted at the sight of the camels
whole pack trains were atampeded.
They did so much damage they soon
didn't have a friend on the Cariboo
road. The owners were imabie even
to sell th€m, and most of them were
just tumed löose In the wilds, where
some of them survived for 40 years.

DONKEY DOCTOE?
A doctor was called in to see a very
testy patient. "Weil, what'6 the mat-ter?"
he asked cheerfully, as he enter-ed
the bedro<«n.
^'That," anapped the sick man,. "is
for you to flnd out." .
" I see," said .the doctor thought-fuliy.
"Weil, i f you'll excuse me, m
go atonsr and fetch a friend of mine
— a iveterinary surgeon. He's the
only fellow I know who can make a
diagnosis without asking questlons."

•Although the auto is a modem In-vention,
it isn't quite as modern as
some people think.
It is hard to. determine who built
the pioneer vehicle, but a letter in
an old copy of The New York Times
recor'ds this:
"It was in the year of 1864 that
a friend of my mother, who was 11 v-ing
with her family at Aubumdale,
a suburb of Boston, drove a horse­less
carriage from Boston, a matter
of 14 miles as I-recall the distance,
to our home in the former place., I
wa.s then a lad of nine years, y e t i
distinctly remember his arrival, his
coming up the road, seeing little
puffs of steam vapor jetting out from
the back of a regular carriage, called
a box buggy,
"When he came to a stop I was
simply astonished to see no horse.
The shafts had been removed and
there did not seeni to be much me-chanlsm.
No doubt there was a
tank for water, with the additlon
of what was needed i n automotive

make more and more fiUns. In a let­ter
to "Festlvarv whlch is the week-ly
paper pubUcizing the' Warsaw
Youth Festival to be held In August
she has the foUowing to say:
" T h i e Festival can b e ö f the great-ef
«t value in the developement of

taken part in a Festival. I un-derstand
that the artlstlc level of

Is very high. V
The student chiematography semi-nar.
which wm take place during the
Festival greatly interests me, and it's
the f hst of its U n d that I have heard
of on,an international scale. It wUl
•be certalnly uasful for those who
make or take part in fitaxs to meet
those who watch and criticize them.
Like Gerard PhUIpe, whose opinioris
you published i n a previous number of
"Festival", I admh-e the Italian neo-reallst
school ofclnema very much.
Xhese fUms reach and. are understood
by the greatest number of people.
They are honest and serious.
Finally to ase old classlcal fllms is
a fine idea, for the majority of young
people have just not seen them. I flnd
them very modem in a ' way and I
am sure that they would be o f Inter-est
to other young people.''
We certainly agree, Anneli, and
hope you attfnd the Festival wlth
other actora, actresses, and produ-cers.

SO TEABS IS T H E B E E t t
JAVEUN ASPIRANTS
MUST CHANGE TACTICS
Kour as ali my friends and acquain-tances
know. i do not stlck my nose
into serious subjects very often, but
the one set down hereunder is one
of the excepUons. I t touches one öf
my a3ft spots because I hate to see
anyone crying in theh- beer whlle the»^
could be out.doing something about
the cause of their troubles. But per-haps
first.I should go over a bit of
recent history.
When the Olympic flame wa8 dous-ed,
and the games of 1952 were but ah
entry to the record books, a great
hue and cry was raised In the Ameri­can
pre&s about the near defeat (or
was it a defeat?) of the U . S. Olympic
team to the Ruasians in the unofficial
total points race. Many European
newspapers rather maliciously Implied
that the Yanks were none too happy
about themselves having to practice
the role of "good losers".
I n their own fashlon the powers-that-
be in the United States A. A. U .
have started frantlcally to. push for-
.ward a programme wlth the alm of
retaining former glories at Melbourne
In 1956.
One smaU factor in this ashedule is
Franklin "Bud" Held who recently
tossed the spear 81.75 metres down in
California, This bettered his former
World record for the JaveUn throw:
the: previous markhavihg been 80.41.
Mr. Held — or rather the equlpment
he uses r - has been the cause of much
concern in Finland. Apparently our
good cousins across the ocean do not
take kindly to the atreamlined modern
version of: their favourite athletic
weapon,- especlally whcn the results
achieved oTershddow any made by the
old time-honoured product. Or
could it be that the thoughts of Amer
ricans taking over i n a predominantly
Finnish sport is somewhat obnoxlous?
Unless rules have radlcally changed
since I read the last ast of regulations
It Is stated that each contestant in
a field event may use his own equlp­ment
provided it conforms to unifor-mlty
• and is approved by the judges.
Also, i t is expressly stated that any
other contestant may use the same
equipment If he so desires! So what's
ali the shouting about? Why not
send one of Pindland's strongmen
over to particlpate i n a few American
track and field meets? |f this new
typeof.javelln is as good as It'a crack-ed
up to be. achieving reauits O to 16
metres betterthan the conventional
type, maybe the record vould be äd-vanced
to over 80 metres and taken
home to its tradlttonal owner8. '
The preceding täctlc might be too
drastic and expenslve, but it isn't the
only one to faU back oh. i n ama-teur
sport of any kind it is the cus-tom
to pass on new methods and
technlques to anyone interested in
them. It would by no means be dlf-icult
for one of the Plnnlsih sports
organizatlons to write to its counter-part
in the United States, asking
for a couple dozen of the new Javelins
to be shlpped • over —• C. C D . of
course. Those concemed o n this side
of the Atlantic would be honour-bound
to grant the favour.
If It were refused, and only then,
would there be any excuse for tak­ing
up arms. — GulUver.

LACK OF EXERCISE MAY
CAUSE MANY AILMENTS
Lack öf physical exercise may cauas
or contribute to a host of allments
ranging from coronary heart disease
and mental disorder to simple tooth
cavities, a New York doctor told the
American Medical Association today.
"Hypokinetic diseäse'^ — llterally

"The physically inactlve individual

made i n England "concluded that
death from coronary heart diseaaa

was also higher among the less

"Other hypokinetic dlseases more
prevalent i n the inactlve groups,'^ he
aald, "are duodenal ulcer. cancer of

plant' whlch perform 530 cutting and

A Canadian named Osmond X e n -
dall has Invented a machlne that
composes music and can create the
sounds of an 80-piece orchestra.
These wonderful devices are part of
a process known as "automation" in
whlcih machines take the place of
human workers. These machines
combine the higheat form of me-chanlcal
perfection with electronic
Controls. Manx of them operate on
the "feed biack" principle. of which
the automatic thermostat on an oil
fumace is a simple example. They
are devices that can guide, percelve;
calculate, correct and test to a pre-cislon
no human eye can touch or
meet. And they were created by the
genius of man.
•What a paradise these wonder-machines
could. build for us here in
Canada! We could eliminate ali the
dirty, unpleasanfand heavy jobs that
people have. to do. Our young people
could be tralned to the super-skills
requlred to run thea» amazing Instru­ments.
Think of the excitement and
challenge such a job would. present
to a young Canadian man or woman.
How much more interesting to be i n
sole charge of a machlne that assem-bles
a/whole TV chassis in a few se-conds,
rather than to sit ali day sol-dering
one Mflre in a T V -set. Such a
machlne Ls now in exiatence.
Automated machinea could create
ali the material necessitle.<5 of life in
abundance, Bveryone could have
plenty of lelsure time to devote to
sports, music, art, hobbies. We could
have the thne and means to beautify
our citles and make them into great
monuments to the wonderful achleve-ments
of modern society. These things
could be.
There ia a big BUT,
We live under a system of caplta-lism,
i n which ownership of. things
that sustaln life is concentrated in the
hands of a few monopoltsts. Profit is
their code, no matter hov/ much peo­ple
suffer, We have unemployment
and mlsery in the mldst of abundance
because the workers cannot afford to
buy back the good thinga they pro-duce,.
This gap Ls made immeajjurably
wlder by the Introductlon of automa­tion.
In the United States, where auto­mation
l8 widesprcad, these wonde2f ui
machines have foroed worker« from
their Jobs, In an age of Scientific
advance, «killed worker« are golng
back to dirty, arduous job» becau»e
they have been replaced by even more
skilled machinea They are the lucky
ones, Others are without any 'jobs.
•Because of automation, prodiiction
Is booming. In the highly-automated
Steel Industry i n the U . S., production
Is currently far above a year ago, a l ­though
1bfiW fev/n voTkert are eai'
ployed. • •
The Sovlet Union, which has a
sociallat economy, lias been practising
automation since 1946. They have the
fh-st fully automatic factory i n the
;World, :manufacturing platons. M a ­chines
cärry through every process:
castlng, heat treatlng,:machlnlng, dril­ling,
grinding, and packing, super-vised
by a few highly ai^illed engineers.
But in that country where the people
as a .whole own the factorles; there
is a shortage of workens, and auto­mation
releases more people to move
on for more training and other Jobs
where.they: are urgently^needed.

In Canada, automation is. not very
common yet, although we can be aure
that it 1^ i h the offing. When it Is
introduced, it wlll be sure to ag-gravate
the already severe unemploy­ment
crlsis. .
In the electrical Industry In Cana­da,
the bosses have managed to get
more production wlth fewer workers
through higher mechanlzatlon and
speed-up. In Pebruary of 1955 with
8,000 (or 10 percent) fewer workers
than the previous year, the electrical
bosses were able to get 8 % more pro­duction,
Many of the displaced
workers are out on the streets. Think
how automation will aggravate the
crlsis in this Industry.
Henry Ford II and the other big
bosses are calling the workers "reac-tionary"
because they are not accept-
Ing automation with open arms, They
are comparing them to the "Luddites"
of the I8th century who smashed
the machines that deprlved them of
their Jobs.
r^Torkers do not hate progrcss. They
recognize that these machines could
mean a wonderful life for ali of us,
But they. are determined to have a
share in some of the beneflts of auto­mation.
That is why the big unions
in Canada and the U . S. are fight-ing
for such important demanda as
the guaranteed annual wage, and the
30-hour Week, with no loss In take-home
pay.
But the.se demands are not enough
They cannot solve the cojitradlctlon
together with. misery, This can only
bc solved by a soclalist organlzation
of society, where the beneflts from
these (cientific advances go to the
people as a whole, not for; the profit
of a few selfish indlviduals and cor-poratlons,
When the people have fought for
and won such a system in Canada,
automation wi]l help make thv dreams
of our young people come true.
