Bienal is a Portugese word meaning biennial. It refers both to the award and the scientific meeting. Dr. Edmundo Vasconcelos, president of the science bienal, said the Canadian scientist has been selected because he has never been awarded any other prize for his work. His observation is only too true and a shameful commentary on Canada which has neglected this man for half a century. â€" Fifty years ago Best, then a young student, worked with Dr. Frederick G. Banting in a frantic effort to discover an antidote to diaâ€" betes, then a fatal disease. Realizing they were close to the discovery, the men fought desperately to complete their work against odds that would have defeated lesser me. They succeeded. Dr. Banting received a Nobel prize for his work but Charles Best got no recognition. Banting, reportedly infuriated at this neglect, is supposed to have shared the prize money with his friend. Banting‘s death in a plane crash some years later cut short any efâ€" forts he might have made to secure more deâ€" finite recognition for his colleague. Earlier this year the 70â€"yearâ€"old Best was on the Queen‘s honor list. It marked the first public recognition of his contribution to science â€" a contribution that is very close to home for the millions of diabetics who conâ€" trol their condition by the drug he helped produce. Perhaps now that other countries have begun to honor a man Canada has long neâ€" glected, this nation may do something to asâ€" suage its conscience in this regard. For 50 years Canadians have obviously felt that Best‘s share in a major medical disâ€" covery is its own reward. It is quite probable that indeed it is. But some public recognition will do nothing to lessen it. 40 YEARS AGO July 30 The public school board decided after lengthy disâ€" cussion to insure the new Elizabeth Ziegler school (which is valued at $100,000) for $74,000 and the equipâ€" ment for $6,000 for a total Isn‘t it time that those in Canada who owe their normal life and health to the work of Banting and Best demanded a fitting honor? A feature of last week‘s program by the Waterloo Musical Society Band was the performance of Souvenâ€" ir of Ontario composed by former bandmaster Resâ€" torf. It delighted the large crowd. 30 YEARS AGO July 25 | The 1941 total assessment for Waterloo County is $46,â€" 515,000, according to a stateâ€" ment from county treasurer Samuel Cassel.

AFHT Whatever their political persuasion there‘s probably not a man, woman nor child in Canada, nor elsewhere for that matter, who doesn‘t wish Prime Minister Truâ€" deau and his young bride well in their private lives and rejoice with them over Mrs. Trudeau‘s pregnancy. But is it too much to hope that everyone in the counâ€" try won‘t have to share every split second of mornâ€" ing sickness and every embryonic kick with the radiant motherâ€"toâ€"be, courâ€" tesy of all news media in the country? . There‘s a â€" blessedness about babies that brings out the best in the worst of us and pregnant women who are happy with their pregâ€" nancy wear a very special radiance.

But out of respect to all the other women who ever had babies (and judging by what the population exploâ€" sion exponents say there have been more than a few) couldn‘t news editors across the country take it easy for the remainder of the nine months? _ The matemnity hospitals haven‘t lost an ediâ€" tor yet, to paraphrase the old midwives‘ standard reâ€" For the fourth successive year, youngsters in the Elâ€" gin, Peppler, Noecker and Regina Streets area have used their ingenuity and love of the fun and games of a carnival to raise funds for the Hospital for Sick Childâ€" ren in Toronto. Naomi Herzog, a 12â€"yearâ€" old from 38 Elgin St., was this year‘s hostess, using the back yard of her parâ€" ents‘ home for the carnival. When the Saturday event ended she and her friends totalled up $11 profit for their pet charity. Helping with the event were Stephen Herzog, 10, a brother of the hostess, and their friends, Susan Whitehead, 12, of 111 Peppâ€" ler St., Ann Kuehl, 11 of 58 Noecker St., Debbie Waugh, 12, of 53 Regina St., and Bradley Way, 11, of 102 Peppâ€" ler St. About 15 took part in the afternoon‘s events which included a bake table, a spook house (Some people were pretty scared, admitâ€" ted the organizers) races, dart games, fish pond and a fortune teller.

And since even the Mounties have trouble keepâ€" ing their files from the wrong hands, it doesn‘t take tremendous imagination to figure out the implications of such a situation. Every one, from school boards to police forces, is intent on getting as much information about us as they can lay their hands on.
