events contributes the human intcr- ;

est factor that is most important of III. Nowhere in Canada is one more likely to meet old friends. or make new ones, than at the racetrack, midway and show ring in Charlotte- town. Many of our visitors have planned their trip months in ad- vance. and are looking eagerly for- ward to it as the big event of the year,

Our own citizens have always been exhibition-minded. as far back an the l8'20's when livestock fairs were first held on the market square in (Zharlttetown. A great impctus to

the movement was given when the present driving park was made ready for races in the autumn of of 1839. and the exhibition buildings cnmplcted in the following year. Since then, of course. there have been many improvements, none more noticeable than in recent years u n d e r the present. managcmcnt, which work: in close cooperation with the provincial and federal gov- Qrnments. Today, for variety of en- tertainment and educational feat- ures. the Provincial Exhibition ranks Iccond to none in Canada. and is doing it great deal in spreading the name and fame of Prince Eduard Island abroad.

Reaching For The Moon

At a meeting of the Institute of 'Fransport held recently in Britain, Mr. Cleaver of de Iiavillands, who is one of Britain's leading engineers. delivered a paper on thc practical possibilities of interplanetary travel. He believes that I landing on the moon can be made by the end of the present century, pmvided, of course, we are ahlc to avoid a nuclear war It home. Space travel, he admits, would cost many thousands of mil- lions of pounds. but it has already started with the development of in- tcrcontincntal ballistic missiles an- nounced by the United States and Russia; and it was stated in the British White Paper on Defence published last year that Britain is starting I similar project. Space flight would develop from the big missiles and satellite vehicles which are to he launched in 1957. just. as aviation has evolved gradually over the years.

In order in get away from the chairs gravitational pull, Mr. Clea- var figures" that I space ship would hate to Initially It something like G1) or more milee In hour. The

mlufiu, on would Ipun the

l l l l

greater advance! tnwurcta ttiele speeds have been made since the V2 was doing I more 3,000 miles Ill hour a few years ago.

Granting Mr. Cleaver's premises, the moon would certainly be the first objective, since it is the earth's nearest neighbour in space-a mere quarter of a million miles IwIy- and the basic problems of getting sufficient powerful fuel and getting enough of it aboard the vehicle would be easier in the case of a trip to the moon than they would be for I trip to Mars or Venus. al- though in the scientist's View these problems would be reached 100m possibly ten or twenty years after the first lunar landing.

A Poor Excuse

All sorts of excuses have been gixcn from time to time by Cana- tioycrnment officials for this country's half-hearted policy with respect to immigration; but the wcakcst we have heard about so far was the one given to the Com- nions by immigration Minister Pick- ersgill a few days ago. After noting that the number of immigrants com- ing in from the Netherlands has dcclincd considerably in the last ycar or so. he explained that this was due in part to Australia's free- passage plan of which many Dutch- mcn were taking advantage. When thu suggcslioii was made that (lan- adn might do well to introduce a SllllllHl' plan, he replied "it has nmcr hccn tlanadian policy to com- pclc actively with Australia." That, surely, is as negative as any policy could be. Carried to its logical Conclusion it would mean that ("anada would get no immi- grunts at all until Australia's re- quircmcnts were met in full. Cana- dians have no compunctions what- socVOl' about competing with Aus- lrnlians in matters of trade. Why, thcrefore, should competition in se- curing nmv citizens be considered

For the most part, l)uich immi- grants to this country have fitted into our economic and social life in a most satisfactory manner; and they hate made good contributions to the country's economic and cul- tural developmcnt. Every reasonable encouragement should be given to others who would like to settle here, rcgardlcss of anything Australia or any other country might do to at- tract them. This might or might not include a free-passage arrangement; that is smnctliing to he worked out in light of all the circumstances. But, certainly. it is childish to sug- gest. that it cannot even be con- sidcrcd because to do so might in- tcrfcrc with the Australian pro-

gramme.

Will the same verdict of blind- ncss be pronounced on the 1956 canipaign? Will the national lead- crs fail to understand the chal- lcmze prr-scnted by Communist po- wcr" Will they turn away from the stark facts that the strongest power in Europe is Russia. now the second industrial nation in the world. and the strongest power in .il.SI.'l is ('hina. now armed for the first time with the terrible strength of modern war.

To all these questions Mr. Bow- lcs rt-turns I despondent answer. llc bclicves that the leaders of ..utli parties will be more eager to win votes by pretending that tlicrc arc easy solutions than they will be to concentrate on the pain- ful decisions that must be made.

l)ESPONI)ENT VIEW

Mr Howlcs is convinced that ii will be impossible to win the sllnporl of thc American people for this new program for peace. in which Irmed vigilance against Communism is combined with in- creased friendliness for the neutral states. unless the program makes an appeal to the same emotional and inlcllcrfual impulses which responded to the Marshal lPlan. lie may be right. but every align now sulzursts that the American people are weary of foreign aid and are more inclined to accept an appeal addressed to their na- lionnl sccurity than to more exal- tcrl motives. .

Nor is there any precedent in American history to support the view that any fundamenml change in foreign policy can be ' ” ” during an clcction campaign. The change. if it is to come, will be made later. in a process of mut- ual accommodation between the President and Congress.

POLLIN COUNT CAN HELP HAY FEVER VACATIQNIIII

The deity pollen count, publish- ed in newipapers duoughout the country. lives you I pretty eood indication inst how much your hey fever is going to bother you. More then that. it serves as I hendy guide when it comes to selecting

ur vIcItion time. EIRRTED PERIOD

In most Iran. the rI5W"d D01- len dim-ibutinn is confined to Aug- ust Ind September.

Along the Gulf Coast. however. the weeds are still active in Octo- ber. In Southeastern California Ind Arizoin the ragweed season uIuIl- ly occui-I in March. April Ind early

May.

While it might be too late to do anything about rearranging your vacation schedule this year. keep In accurate check on the daily pollen count in your area for the next few months.

MAY BEACH 100

Generally. you'll feel okay until the count gets above 10, although the count may even reach 100 be- fore ,IomI of you are bothered very much.

But once the pollen count ItIyI betweeen 25 and 50 for I few days it means the hay fever season is really here. That's the time to take off on your vacation.

Where can you go? Well. the Pollen Survey Committee of the Americar Academy of Allergy and its chairman. Orcn (2 Durham. have chsckcd into this problem very lhorouglily.

They find that air-borne ragweed pollen is heaviest in the intensively tilled portion of the Mississippi Volley Ind lightest in the area west of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon and Washingto .

DEGREE OF RELIE '

The woods of extreme northern Michigan, of Minnesota. Maine and New Hampshire. also offer a good degree of rclicf. So do the central Adirondacks and the southern tip of Florida

They have made in thorough pre- aentatiun of the ragweed picture throughout the country. it's avail- able in a little booklet called "Hay Fever Holiday."

It might come in very handy for planning your next vacation where you won't be bothered by hay fever.
