Bustling Sourls

g Many a prosperous community is based essentially on a single industry, sometimes a relatively small one. It is surprising how many secondary industries and businesses can prosper whose reason for existence is to cater to those employed in the original undertaking. The current wave of pros- perity in Souris is based primarily on fish handling and packing although other indus- tries are taking root, the potato chip fac- tory being an example.

The fisheries are by no means a small industry to the eastern port foi' more and more draggers are operating there, any one of which could bring in far more than the entire catch of pre-dragger days. The convenience of Souris to the fishing grounds and also to American markets contributes to the success of the project and there will certainly be more expansion to come.

The point we are making, however, is that industry attracts industry. It should not surprise anyone to see Souris acquire numerous plants which perhaps have very little to do directly with the fisheries but which are attracted there by the prospect of expansion, a working force with money to spend. and a general atmosphere of prosperity.

Until now Kings County has been more or less by-passed in the matter of develop- ment, although there is a prosperity of long standing based on agriculture and even on what we would now consider an undevelop- ed fishery potential. It is most satisfactory to see what may well be the beginning of a new era of commercial and modest in- dustrial prosperity. The commercial side

-"will not, of course. be new. Souris. and other Kings County ports knew a high de- gree of shipping prosperity in an earlier day of sail.

A fluke Goes Treasure Hunting

it is 366 years since Philip of Spain sent his mighty Armada to invade Eng- land. Of all the galleons which were sunk either by English guns or by the storm that followed the battle, only one is known to lie under mud and silt within reasonable distance of British shores. She is the Duque de Florenice, treasure ship of the fleet, and she rests in Tobermory Bay on the Scottish coast. Reports have persist- ed for many years that the ship carried gold worth almost 10 million dollars. At the present time thc'Duke of Argyll is leading an expedition to Tobermory Bay in an effort to settle the question once for all. He says that. the main purpose of the expedition is to "identify and explore" the galleon. If the reported treasure is found, well and good. but he is not counting on any such good fortune. "No one knows what is inside," he told reporters, "apart from the bones of the men who sank with her. I have no private knowledge of the contents of the galleon."

If treasure is found the British Govern- ment will take a share of the proceeds; but the Government is not sharing in the expenses, whatever happens. That means, of course, that the duke is assuming a great financial risk. For that reason, and be- cause the adventures of treasure hunters always are of general interest, it is to be hoped that the gold will be there when the Duque dc Florenice is lifted from her muddy bed; but, treasure or no treasure. it will give the duke and his crew 11 real thrill to stand on the deck of a ship that was the proud symbol of a power which threatened England's sovereignty-and fail- ed.

Housing iloport

The provision of suitable land for devel- opment is becoming more of a problem with municipalities and to some extent governs the number of new houses started in a community, the president of Central Mort- gage and Housing Corporation told the delegates to the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities who were only too well aware that he is right.

The best use of land involves the selec- tion of particular areas for development, the provision of services, and getting it into the hands of the eventual home owner or landlord, preferably the former. In- discriminate development converts the coun- tryside into something that is neither country nor town. It is frequently im- possibly expensive to service. Neighbour- hoods remain In a semi-builtup stage over considerable periods and the end result leaves much to be desired. i

By proper planning it is possible tohave services and housing supplied together. Adequate provision can be made for schools.

Gallantry To A Lady

the Oshawa Times-Gazette. Gallantry, he reflects, is greeting a lady cordially and telling her how beautiful she looks and what a becoming dress she has on.

It is introducing her to other ladies and gentlemen standing around. It is asking her if food can be provided and filling her plate with chicken salad, slices of ham, finger roll and almonds.

It is being introduced by her to other lad- ies present and bowing and scraping before each other. It is catching names and recognizing the resemblance to other names and asking if the ladies are any relation to persons known.

It is discovering that there is a rela- tionship and entering into a lively discus sion of the mutual acquaintances. enlarg- ing upon how very charming they are.

It is enquiring as to the families of the ladies just met. learning the number of children and grandchildren, and insisting upon being told the status and condition of each one, with reference to age, sex, school attended and ambitions.

It is noting that it is time to be getting ice cream. It is offering to take charge of empty plates and provide all the ladies with ice crcs . It is searching out chairs for those who are standing and administering to the needs of those who announce they are just dying for a drink of water.

It is, in short, looking after every need that a lady at an entertainment could have and earning the reputation for considera- tion, helpfulness and charm.

But what good does it do when, at the height of the triumph. a wife appears from nowhere and exclaims, ”Well, where on earth have you been? Where's that food you were to bring me? I've been looking for you everywhere."

EDITOCRIAL NOTES

Britain is following Canada's lead in substituting a liquid-wax cleaning compound for the traditional "blanco", a powder long used by the army for cleaning its web equipment. The story is told that a guards- man came staggering out of the Western Desert, cijoaking, "Water! water!" He was given a small amount of the precious stuff and sat down to blanco his webbing.

The closing of numerous lobster fac- tories in Prince County because they can- not pay the prices offered by buyers from outside the Province calls for a hard look at our processing industries. More than one economist has pointed out that large- scale operations are desirable both for econ- omy and to develop and maintain markets.

France is baulking at the voluntary surrender of part of her sovereignty to the European Defence Community. Her real- ists, and she has some notable ones, must realize that it would be much better to surrender some of the attributes of sov- ereignty than to have all of Europe so weak as to be in danger of losing all in- dependence.

Sir Thomas Henry Hall Caine, novelist, died this date 1931. Of Manx and Cum- berland parentage, he was educated on the Isle of Man and at Liverpool. He studied architecture but turned to journalism, poetry and then to a highly successful career as a novelist. He visited Canada in 1895 and had considerable influence in drafting the law of copyright.

The British inventor of ti machine which can translate printed messages into almost any language has built three of them, each smaller than its'predecessor. Dr.'Andrew Booth thought of the idea in 1947 and to begin with merely put a die- tionary ln the storage unit of a computer.
