THIS LIFETIME IN CANADA

CONSCRIPTION

THE BONE IN CANADA’S THROAT has choked off national unity twice in this century, and events may soon threaten to bring it back for a third time. This is the story of Canada’s first conscription crisis—of riots in the streets, of a bomb plot, and of what conscription did to two great prime ministers By RALPH ALLEN30 min

THE LATE TOM DOOLEY'S LEFT-HAND MAN

Ron Wintrob, a fresh intern with expensive tastes and an itchy foot, was the first Canadian recruited by MEDICO, Dr. Tom Dooley's medical adventure in the Far East. This is the record of Wintrob's meetings, in turn, with Dooley, MEDICO, jungle disease in Laos, and guerrilla war By CATHIE BRESLIN22 min

CLINIC TO CURB SEX CRIMES BEFORE THEY HAPPEN

Late this month four ministers of the federal cabinet and two representatives, one a provincial minister, from each province will meet in Ottawa to see how things are going for celebrating Canada’s centennial in 1967. They’ll find that things are going pretty splendidly—so splendidly, in fact, that it now looks as though the only thing that can keep our birthday year from being the biggest celebration in our country’s history is if the planners — like a football team that’s been “up" too often during the season — collapse before their big test.

THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS why I think we should try to reach the moon as soon as possible, and one of them is the transistor radio.
