Pfimeglflinisterk Address 1

As befitting the occasion. Prime Minister St. Laurent avoided party politics entirely in his Confederation anniversary address here yesterday, giving instead an inspiring review of our development as a nation. Speaking from the balcony of the very building in which Confederation was crati- ied, his speech was broadcast throughout the country. It was, we venture to say, one of the finest the Prime Minister has made.

He uas at pains to point out the pro- gressive steps by which we attained our independent. status which culminated offi- cially in the Statute of Westminster, but which virtually had been achieved by the sacrifices of our soldiers, sailors and air- men in the First World War, and by the efforts of Sir Robert Borden who was Prime Minister at that time. Nor did he

fail to acknowledge our debt to Great Bri-'

lain down through the years, or to em- phasize the continuing ties of kinship and friendship with the mother land. He ex- pressed the hope that Canada will soon have power to amend her constitution in clear that this

The United Kingdom Government has all along been in favour of federation, as offering a means for the West Indies to achieve economic stability and political in- dependence. but from the beginning its pol- icy has been that the decision must be left to the West Indians, and this restraint on the part of Britain has been faithfully ob- served.

The new agreement accomplished by the London conference has now to be submit- ted to the territorial legislatures. It is only after this final hurdle has been sur- mounted that practical steps toward estab- lishing the Federation can be taken. It looks like the dream will come true soon.

tolrsteijiihllng Facilities

While improvements in handling and transporting live lobsters have made it pos. sible for Maritime shippers to market this delicious sea food anywhere in Canada, sales expansion is being blocked by inade- quate storage facilities in most cities all across the country. According to a Fisheries Department bulletin, the situation is that development of inland holding facilities has not kept pace and the difficulties associated with retaining lobsters in live state hun- dreds of miles from the sea have hinder- ed marketing.

The Fisheries Department has develop- led a simple. inexpensive wooden holding unit in which lobsters have been kept alive

and active for several weeks. The unit is filled with artificial sea water. This has been found to he the most satisfactory

from every standpoint, although there has been developed and is now being gradually

Last Saturday at the University of Western Ontario there was an important meeting sponsored by the University Counselling and Place- ment Association.

The experts agreed bhat usually to-

all respects. but made it was a matter of agreement to be reached between the Provinces and Dominion, and that no provincial rights under the British North America Act should be disturbed. Most important in the Prime Minister's message was his reminder of the respon-

The news that an additional service will he started between Charlottetown, Corner- brook and Montreal is to be welcomed. The M.V'. Charles E. MacLean. 430 tons, and other ships as necessary are to be put on the run by Gerald F. Murphy and Sons Ltd. of Montreal and will certainly prove of value to Island shippers.

According to the Department of Indus-

try and Natural Resources there is no sub-i

That in itself is an encouraging sign for in the past it has all too often required government subsidies to induce shipping lines to pro- vide service hetween points in these At- lantic Provinces.

The present proposal indicates a degree of confidence in the possibilities of trade between the three centres that should evoke interest on the part of producers and ship- pers. There can be no doubt but that the possibilities exist. The provision of addi- tional shipping facilities shouid stimulate trade and that in turn result in more ship- ping. The economies of the three points of call seem ideally complementary and there is no reason why the project should not ex- pand greatly.

West Indies Federation

llhe reports on the London Conference on West Indian Federation indicate that the delegates achieved a major advance to- wards the objective of close political as- sociation between British islands in the Caribbean Sea. says the assistant editor of ”New Commonwealth."

In the first place, the West Indians reached agreement themselves on the type of Federal Constitution they desired, and in the second place. the United Kingdom Government found acceptance from the West Indians for its plan of financial as- sistance during the early years of the new federation.

Discussions in the conference. were bas- ed on a report published in 1950 by a committee-the British Caribbean Standing Closed Association Committee A which con- sisted of delegates appointed by the legis- latures of each unit in the British Carib- bean area for the purpose of devising the ground plan for a federal government. When this report was debated in the unit legislatures. the principle was agreed ex- cept by the governments of British Guiana and British Honduras, but various modifica- tions were suggested, and it was from this situation that the London Conference emerged. Delegates attended from An-

As of today Prince Edward Island has an Historical Museum although unfortun- ately a temporary one for the months of July and August only. Every year that passes without a permanent home for our historical material means that there will be so much less of it to pass on to future gen-

erations.

The late Staff Sergeant Mclnnls was a first class traffic officer, combining cour- tesy and efficiency in a manner which re- flected credit not only upon himself. but on the City Police Force and community gen- erally. His very sudden passing has been a shock to his thousands of friends at home. and will he learned with regret, far and

I A recent issue of ”ltalian Affairs," an Italian Government publication. explains that Cinecitta. near Rome. where ”Quo -Vadis" and several other non-Italian films have been made. is the largest and most completely equipped movie centre in the world with the exception of Hollywood. And even Hollywood can hardly compare with its compactness, or the variety of scenic backgrounds that are available with- in.a few miles of its studios. The superior- ity of Cinecitta is no accident. The site was carefully chosen by the Mussolini Gov- ernment, back in the thirties and on it, as the name implies, a "cinema city" was built, complete with sound studios. dressing- rooms. storchouses. workshops and miles of electrical equipment.

Your "Better English" depart- ment. as our learned friend Mr. James Pendergast. said some lime ago. in "snail but potential." It is serving A good purpose, but. the best counsel will sometimes fail. Your present correspondenlls at- tention was drawn to this topic by the answer given to a question in "Better English" on June 27. Mr. D. C. Williams asks: What. is wrong with this sentence? "Every one of us have got to be. there". And answers. "Every one of us has to be there.” The best writers of English today would say. "Every one of us pave to be there."

This is invariably the practice of sir Winston 8. Churchill and he is accounted one of the greatest living masters of English diction and style. Take an example at ran- dom from his npeeches, Speaking in the British House of Commons an the British policy toward Spain he said. "Everyone can have their opinion about that . . ." Even the earliest. English novelists used the plural form of the verb: from Fielding's Tom Jones. "Everyone in the house were in their beds."

President F. D. Roosevelt's Fire- side Chats hit the seven hills of informal profane. oratory. He was a master of emphasis too. You can imagine how he dwelt. on the words, everyone, everybody, etc. and but- tressed them with plural personal pronouns. Here is a good example: "There have. always been cheerful idiots in this N7lllltl'v who he'icxWl that 't.hPl'e would be no war for us. If everybody would only re- turn into their homes and lock their front. doors behind them." The word. some. excerl. in this sentence is almost always plural. Old grum- marians made an exception to this rule, viz., someone; now no longer so when the specific identify or the one is unknown. Good writers will freely say. "Someone did this: if I could only find a clue to their identity."

In conclusion here are I few pertinent facts to ponder over (oh! 3 propositional ending. - you ex- claim). Thomas Aquinas had one of bhe most comprehensive minds the world has known; yet. he was the mathematical genius. admits that he was stupid in school learn- ing. And Sir Winston 3. Churchill

From the lips of satchel Paige. the fabulous Negro pitcher who. according to sports writers, is 45 going on 60." come gems of advice on how to stay young. Paige. who seems to have been around the diamond since the days of Arthur Doubleday, has reduced the for- mula for Collier's Magazine to a few rules any hard-driving execu- tive might wcll adopt. Says satchel:

"Avoid fried meats. which angry up the blood.

"If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool

thoughts.

"Keep the juices flowing by jansling around gently as you move.

"Go very lightly on the vices. such as carrying on in coccity. The social ramble ain't. restful."

And finally. 1. nutshell philoso. phy if we ever heard one: "Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you." says he never could find room in his head for Greek and Latin roots. affixes and other inflections; that in his university days hc was very backward.

Anyhow outside college walls you don't remember all the grammar rules. But if you read the best in literature repeatedly you will know instinctively when infinitives should end in a preposition; when A dozen other puzzling rules in grammar should or should not be set aside. You don't know why but you do know "that when Shakespeare or Churchill says. "its me.” or "That's him". such expressions must. some- times be very good grammar.
