“The Strongest Memory is Weaker Than. the Weakest Ink."

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, I946

During last week these three p-onounce- merits were‘ made affecting morals and manners. ln Halifax, Mr, R. Douglas Graham, watching counsel for the Divorce Court said more than 450 divorce cases have been heard in Nova Scotia, in 70 per cent of them overseas men, have returned to find while tliey were away, their wives were spending their ample allowance "running around." He expressed belief that divorces were a luxury and that when the money dwindled so would the number of divorce cases.

Mr. Basil Henriques, chairman of East London Children's Court said 7S per cent of the delinquent cases was the problem of the unhappy child. The tendency was for a child who, by behaving decently, found that it could not get the care and attention it needed, to iry the alternative of behaving badly. ln Eng- land there are Boys’ Clubs sponsored by the Scou: Movement and associated churches known s» the Notional Association of Boys‘ Clubs. A c-mnrion of £50,000 ($400,000) from tho ac- cumulated funds of XXX Corps, British Army of the Rhine, has been made to the National As- sociation. The corps is being disbanded and Lieutenant-General A. Galloway, ~ command- er, in a letter to Lord Aberdare, chairman of the National Association, says:—"XXX Corps has a great tradition. lt was formed in the desert in the autumn of 1941 and has taken a niajor part in the fighting ever since, and a tremendous number of officers and men have passed through it. lt would be tho wish, l am sure, of all of them to help_in every way possible such an excellent association as _yours, and l have great pleasure, therefore, in forwarding you a cheque for £50,000 in the belief that our youth deserve every help and encourageivientio enable them to grow into worthy British citi- zens and in the knowledge that your associa- tion will make the fullest use of this money in providing such help." The money is lobe spent on training club leaders and on providing more and better clubs.

The Rt. Hon. Chuter Ede, the Home Secre- speaking at a meeting in support of the Centenary Fund, pointed out that ore than 1,000 mothers were brought before the courts for child neg- lect. Neither fines nor imprisonment were hope- ful methods of persuading an apatheticmotlier to reform or of teaching an ignorant_one how to look after the children. Hope lay in efforii like those sponsored by the Elizabeth Fry As- sociation, viz., getting among tlifl P¢_°Pl° ""4 "showing them how." But the qlieilw" l5": as always, is "who is going to bell the cot.

Freight hates and Trucks

The application for a 30 per cent_ flat in- crease in railway freight rates would, if grani- od, affect the Central Provinces to _a lesser de- - groe than other parts of Canada, in.tho_ opin- ion of the Winnipeg Free Press. This is because the freight rates in these Provinces are sub- stontially lower, and tho _rai_lv_vays and flit’- Transportation Board have yustified these lower rates on the grounds of competition. Tiio rail- ways compete for traffic with water, U. S. rail transportation and trucks. Unless they meet this competition, the business will pass to their competitors and always it has been held to be better that they should retain as much of the traffic as possible, even at low rates, than yield the field. Of the three forms of competition, that of the trucks has been the latest arrival on the transportation scene, but its expansion in the past two decades in the Cpntral Prov- inces has been‘very rapid. . ,

As a result, in these provinces the keenest competition among truckers exist. The competi- tion which forces down railway rates is not dir- ectly between the trucks and the railways. Rather it is between competing truckers. The benefits to the public are great and are not confined to highway traffic. The railways, also, have to meet the competition. Therefore in Ontario and Quebec there is_ a definite check on the railways, and the public thus served has little to fear from higher railway freight rates.

The Free Press concentrates on the disad- vantage the West will suffer under the propos- ed 30 per cent increase but the somo_applio_s to the Maritimos and it is worth noting this argument in'view of the protest which the __Mor mo Transportation Commission is prepar-

Ono hoars much about the prospects of medical cures by radio active substances, but apparently this new method of treatment is still in,the experimental stage. An authoritative ‘writer in -the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has the following to say on the subject:

‘ “it ls erroneous to believe that radio-active substances-havens yet benefited patients to an extent that would make this treatment one of the principal tools in the armamentarlum of the physician. On the contrary, few therapeutic sn- deavors ore as much in infancy as the therapy with radioactive substances. This is the case in spite of the fact that many of these substances were available for the study of» biological phen- emena and for treatment several years before the first pllewas built. Recent events have

which have been developed and established in a much shorter period of time. As a matter of fact, one wonders sometimes whether therapy with radioactive substances will over be a sig- nificant and indispensable tool in the. hand of physicians as many appear to believe at present. it seems much more likely that our understand- ing of fundamental, normal and abnormal, bio- logical processes will be conside ably enhanced by the application of radioactive and other iso- topes and that the better understanding gained in this way may lead to a more rational. and perhaps non-radioactive treatment of disease."

War Graves

Army Headquarters has announced that final verification forms numbering 16,500, which presumably cover all known Canadian war groves, are being despatclied to official next- of-kin as quickly as possible. As previously an- nounced, there are eleven ell-Canadian cem- eteries in Europe where Canada's dead of World War ll lie buried. Four are in Fiance; one in Belgium; three in Holland; one in Sicily and two in ltaly. Many other Canadian servicemen are interred in British plots and some, who flew in missions against the enemy and never returned, sleep in peace near the place where their plane crashed. All Canadian graves are registered, marked and cared for by a Dominion represen- tative with the lmperial War Graves Commis- sion.

It is certainly a record for this Province, though not uncommon in other parts of Canada, for successive generations to become the elected representative of a constituency. Mr. F. J.

What impressed Mr. Watson's audience in the Legion Hall the other night was his moder- ation and persuasiveness. There was nothing of the old time tub-thumping and aggressive- ness of the soap-box oratory characteristic of earlier political agitators. He set forth suc- cinctly and clearly the policy and accomplish- ments of the English Labour Party; then left Mr. A. A. Nicholson, M.P., C.C.F. representa- tive for Mackenzie, Sask., to add "Zem's our

Children getting a preview of their future vocations. A local juvenile employment com- mittee at Mallock, Derbyshire, has iust held a vocational guidance exhibition - the first of its kind in Britain. Children due to leave school in the next two years saw displays of local act- ivitios including forging and ‘amping of air- craft parts, cotton spinning, nursing, quarry- ing, printing, motor-engineering, house decor- ating and many other vocations. Representa- tives of various industrial firms were there to explain the jobs. Children and parents thus obtained a sound and realistic idea of the alternatives before them and have a better chance to select a really congenial career on

leaving school.

Christmas eve banquetting is to be discour- aged in Montreal. Mgr. Joseph Cho-"Lonneau, Archbishop of Montreal, has made the follow- ing announcement at the Archbishop's Palace: "A new custom set in during recent years in a number of offices and plants in connection with Christmas observance." Employers gave a _turkey dinner or a party to their staff. ln the past, we gave dispensations to those soaking them. To enable members of Catholic parishes to resume a more appropriate atmosphere for tho observance of a Christian Christmas, we give notice that these dispensations will be no long- er granted. lt is a well-known fact that dur- ing these Christmas Evo reunions as well as those of the last day of the year, large quan-

wand Island ‘ruberculosls League commences its Sea] campaign. In order to ee- qualnt the public with the work which their pill-chase of Christmas Seals in past years lias accomplish- ed. and with tho necessity for its continued support. we are direct- ing thlrs letter to the Press.

The Prince Edward Island Tub- erculosis League has been, for the pest year and e half, conducting e chest X-roy survey throughout the Province by means of the mobile X-ray unit. Already, approximaiely. 44.000 persons, or is llttlo less than one half of our population. have been checked. In about .one ou‘. o1 every two hundred persons x-rey- ed. there was detected an indica- tion that tuberculosis was pres- ent, 1n most cases, the disease was found to be ln Ms eofllesl stages and completely curable by modified rest. Hod the disease been allow- ed to continued its destructive work unnoticed. months and even years of bed care would have been the alternative.

While a small payment is gener- ally made at the time of x-ray- this fee ls not nearly sufficient to cover the cost of making the film.

The purchase of Christmas Seals in the post. hos enabled the Lea- gue ‘to procure the mobile x-risy, unit, one of the finest manufac- tured, and to put it in the field. It is only through the continued support and cooperation of the public that the unit will be able to reach every community and every person on the Island. Tho

league i's entirely dependent upon the success of the Christmas Souls. for here, unlike the other Pro- vinces of Canada, lt receives no financial support from the Gov- ornnseiit. other than rent-free of- flco space. The money which the Seals provide ls spent on the Island to buy better health for the ped- ple of the Island.

Tuberculosis is is contagious dis- ease, just as is diphtheria, influ- onzo. and smallpox. One unde- tected case endangers the whole family and the whole community.

The fight against. tuberculosis can be and ls being won. Each individ- ual case l-s made easier ll the disease can b9 detected and treat- ed boforo harm can be done. Ev- ery Christmas Seol that is pur- chased will assist, materially in bringing this about.

It ls a matter of provincial pride that our cattle are free from tub- erculosis. Is not the health of the people of Prince Edward Island equally important?

We are. Sir, elm.
