Power For Georgetown

Power is an essential to development of any community as Prince Edward Island- ers have reason to know and the lesson is given point by the opportunity for anew! industry in Georgetown which is dependent' upon additional power supply. A short time ago the firm which operates the lob- ster cannery there approached the Pro- vincial Government requesting a land line into the ftilfn to supplement or replace the existing under-water cable from Lower Montague.

The firm is considering establishing an artificial codfish drying plant in the Kings County capital. Such a plant would oper- ate throughout the fishing season and could supply a grade of dried fish which would be able to enter the markets of the West Indies and elsewhere. It would di- rectly employ about one hundred people and provide a valuable stimulus to the economy of the town and county.

The additional power supply together with the establishment of the fish drying industry would. make' possible, further in- dustrial development and the almost ice- free harbour would be utilized to the great- er advantage of the locality and the Prov- ince as a whole. The Government is com- mitted to a programme of electrification. specifically rural electrificationp and this would seem to provide an opportunity to serve important rural areas and at the same time bring additional industry to an established community.

The iIoters' List '.

Now is the time for every eligible voter in the forthcoming Federal election to see that his or her name is on the voters list. To the urban voter. disfranchised because his name is omitted from the final list, the "get-out-and-vote" campaign will be point- less. Here are some precautionary hints on the subject: '

The individual voter in an urban area has three ways of discovering if he is on the preliminary lists now drawn up. He can check the list for his poll, posted on his street or in his neighborhood. Second- ly. he can scan the samevdocument to be mailed to his home: Finally, he can get in touch with thereturning officer for his riding. ,

If the elector fails to receive , a list through the mails, he may reasonably as- sume that his name has somehow been omitted. If he does receive it and spots the omission of s nextdoor neighbor's name. he can perform a' public service by notifying the neighbor.

Actual revision of the urban polling division, lists is conducted by duly-ap- pointed revising officers. Notices of place and time for these hearings have been post- ed in each riding and included with the lists mailed to individual electors. The hearings, now in progress. will be concluded tomor- row.

The voter who is skipped by the enumerators may appear before the revis- ing officer in person or fill out a form for the purpose and have it submitted by an- other elector of the riding, a relative or his employer.

In rural areas. even though an elector's name does not appear on'the list, he may exercise his franchise by taking the pre- scribed oath and being vouched for by a voter whose name is duly listed.

This brief review of procedure asiser. out in the Canada Elections Act indicates clearly that many avenues for rectifying errors and omissions are open. Mistakes are bound to occur in an enumeration of mm; 8,500,000 potential voters during-s But there is no excuse for the" voter who makes no effort to correct

unrest unong Russia's middle European satellites provided a ready-made excuse to purge 'Beria. Beria was responsible for maintaining discipline, not only in Russia but in the whole satellite world. It is al- most axiomatic in Russia that when things go wrong somebody has to be singled out for the blame. Beria was the goat.

3. The little policeman also was getting, too big for his boots. at least in Malen- kov's estimation. Beria is being denounced in Moscow for, among other things, trying to put his police before the party and gov- ernment. This could mean Beria has been trying to arrest some of his colleagues in

, the party and government, possibly Malen-

kov himself. Malenkov may merely have,

There is a great deal of speculation as to the significance of Beria's removal. Some experts contend the whole post-Stalin con- ciliatory policy of the USSR may be re- versed or at least seriously modified, most of the conciliatory measures having been attributed by diplomatic sources to Beria's influence. .

On the other hand, there may be no change in Russian-tactics for the present. If the original theory that Russia will walk gently while the struggle for power goes on in the Kremlin, still holds good, the Reds won't get too tough in the near future. The struggle for power is still going on. But we may be sure that while Russian tactics change, the grand strategy will not. Com- munism has never deviated from its aim of world domination. The best we can ex- pect is a breathing spell and we should ex- lploit its worth to the best advantage.

The Scout Ideal

Commenting favorably on that big Scout Jamboree going on this week at Connaught Rifle Ranges, the Ottawa Journal notes that across the border in the United States a similar jamboree is being held at New- port Beach, California, with 50,000 boys present from 48 states and 14 foreign coun- tries. These great gatherings of Scouts, matched by others in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, demonstrate that the ideals of Lord Baden Powell, the founder, have their appeal to continuing generations; and it is heart-warming to note that the Scouts of today were born in the years whehthe birth rate began to rise in Canada and many other lands after the sorry declines which followed World War I and the onset of the depression in the '30's.

"It could be said, of course," says the Journal, "that the Boy Scout movement represents understanding between the boys of different races who will be the leaders of tomorrow; that it inspires good citizen- ship and loyalty; that it teaches the arts of survival in the wilds and self-reliance and Iunselfishness in all the walks of life. But there is more than that. "Honor is made the high ideal for the boysand right gladly they accept it.

"Of all the graces of civilization what is more beautiful than honor? Freedom and peace and the works of the Good Samaritan all.fiourish under the care of honorable men. And the Scouts who fol- low the paths of honor help not only them- selves but their elders upon whom the ,cioak of cynicism can so easily fall in dark ahours."

Mr. M. J. Coldwell seems to have got his wires crossed in the C. C. F. campaign. He proposes to have a bathtub and sink in every home but, oddly enough, only to soak the rich.

Since cattle began to travel by train, horns have been on the way out. The longhorns were first to go and now the American Veterinary Medical Association has sounded the death knell of all horns. The vets hear a long list of reasons why the horns should go and there seems to have been nothing said in their defence.

Ducks must really abound in some parts of this country to account for the change in regulations providing for permits to shoot at any time, in season or out. It is to be hoped that the ones affected are not in the habit of frequenting this Province as the general feeling amongst farmers as well as other hunters is "the more the

merrier".

"BETTER ENGLISH”

Sir.-I hope Minor S:-Lxon's In-t tcresting dlgressions and brilliant Illustrations in his (or her) let- ter of July 21st entitled "Formal Grammar and Better English." have not entirely obscured the point I wished to make clear in my 1etter of July 13th. namely. the importance of fundamental grammar in our public school curriculum. I sincerely hope, moreover, that this same writer has not entirely obscured the spirit and intent of his (or her! own letter of July 2nd entitled "Better English": for Minor Sax- on. quite unnecessarily it seems to me, undertakes in the last lei. ter to explain the meaning of the first one. ' This procedure I must confess to be somewhat embarrassing to myself, for I seemed to under- stand quite clearly the meaning of the first letter until I saw it laboriously explained in the sec- ond one. Brlefly speaking, consid- er that in respect to style, Minor Snxon's first letter needed neith- er explanation, nor apology.

I don't suppose, Sir, that you wish to turn any of your columns into a forum for a grammatical debating club. but I trust you will permit a brief discussion on A question of grammar raised by myself in my former letter of July 13th. The question is as fol- lows: What part of speech is "over" in the following sentence used by Minor Saxon in his (or her) letter of July 2nd?: "Here are a few pertinent facts to pon- der over". Minor Saxon classl- fies "over" in this sentence as sit preposition, and I admit Minor Saxon defends his (or her) an- swer skilfully. Personally, how- ever. I prefer to classify '-'over" in this case as an adverb modify- ing the verb to ponder; and I find, moreover, on careful investi- gation that both the Webster and Oxford dictionaries, two formid- able sllies. support my classifica- tion In this case, or rather in sim- ilar cases; for example, in the phrases ”t,o think over; and "to talk over". So much then for "hair-splitting" grammar in which game I fancy Minor Saxon is no mean expert.

i Ties That Unilia

(Ottawa. Journal!

Once more the elasticity of the ties that bind the British Common- wealth has proved its inherent strength.

Prime Minister Malan of South Africa. back in Capetown from London, told his parliament that "the Commonwsalth gives us the greatest freedom we could wish for", that his country could have no greater freedom outside the Commonwealth. .

Dr. Malian attended the Corona- tion and the conference of prime ministers in London which followed it. He told the south African par- liament that while it was no secret to other members of the conference that he was a republican national- ist he had received "the greatest friendliness" from every one of them.

A form of association which makes 9. congenial place for such differing political units as the Commonwealth of Australia. the Republic of India, the Union of South Africa, Canada. and the Un- ited Kingdom itself, mother of them all. is something new in the world.

Here we have strength based not on man-power and armament but on the very fragility of the ties which unite, through the Crown, these independent states. The Com- monwealth has achieved I condi- tion which must be an example and an inspiration to United Na- tions. when through UN we have s conimonwc-lth of all the nations. working together in harmony and confidence. we shall-have reached the objective of enduring peace.

There is it great difference be-e tween election meetings in Can- ada and in Great Britain. In Canada the audience usually sits patiently through eversl hours of speeches. and except to give in mild cheer occasionally, nobody except the speaker. says a word. if anyone interrupts. even with s non-provocative remark, he is rebuked by the chairman and told he must be quiet or leave the hall. If the hecklers persist. they get "the burri's rush."

Not so in the United Kingdom. Heckllng is not only tolerated but encouraged. and nobodwis, told, to shut up or'get out unless s hol- hcsdsd partisan becomes offensive. The chairman only calls or order. if two or three people nterrupt at tho urns time. The interrup- tion invariably takes the form of 1 fair quutiom. or a challenge of

At least. one man in Caniidals Stratford is feeling easier. After dreaming for years of setting up a Shakespearean festival in a small isolated community. Tom Patter- son, a local, resident, knows now that it can be done and that theatre-goers everywhere will have to take it seriously.

Although Stratford has s. name that is distinguished in theatrical history and has also a pleasant stream called the Avon river. it has no theatrical heritage or tra- clition. z.Tho name is an accident left over from s. land-development scheme in the nineteenth century. Strstford is a railroad shop city with a population of 18,000 people. situated in the midst. of Omar! farmlands and the Canadian Na- tional Railways trains seem to do an unconscionable amount of whis- tllng and hooting as they rattle over the crossing.

But. Mr. Patterson has long had an idea that a Shakespearean fes- tival in one of Stratford's leisurely parks would be practicable and stimulating and that hundreds of thcatregoers would come hundreds of miles to visit. it.

Now it. turns out that he is right. With the assistance of other people in strstford, and people in other places. he has now establish- ed a. festival of two,Shakespeai-can plays on s. five-week schedule in a not though attractive tent that seats 1.411 theatrogoers. Friends who have been feeling sorry for Mr. vPat.t.er.snn during the last year and 1 half are feeling more re- laxed about him today.

After all this preliminary work he might easily have had a polite. respeclably cultured festival that people might have visited from a sense of duty But thanks to the enthusiasm a d goodwill of many professionals Mrymitterson has a festival that ircontrlbutlng some- thing to the art of producing Shakespeare and that will be vis- ited by people from ev.erywhere..

Most of the actors-and very good ones. too-are Canadian pro- fessionals. But Tyrone Guthrie of the Old Vic in London and Alec Guinness of the Old Vic and Just about everything else are supplying the leadership. Irene Worth has come over from London to co-star

setting up s. Shakespearean fes- tival in a non-theatrical Canadian community 100 miles from Toronto and even further from Montreal: Buffalo and Detroit involves more problems than anyone could reas- onably foresee.

Even Mr. Patterson. who invent- ed the idea out of the wild blue yonder. never realized exactly what he was getting into. It involves the manufacture of strange and innumerable costumes. shoes and props in workshops not. accustom- ed to the mad ideas of the theatre: and it also involves extraneous housing and transportation, prob- lems that a large city could supply without much fuss.

Not all-the problem are solved yet. But the main problem 15. An enterprising Shakespearean festival that operates on a professional level for theatregoers in Canada and the United States has been created in a small, isolated com- munity. .

Since everybody concerned has had to give up something in the way of income or convenle ce. this is one of the most disarmi lg stor- ies in theatrical oo-operation. Let's not overlook the contribution Mr. Guinness, Mr. Guthrie and their British associates have made out of enthusiasm for an adventure- some idea and for Canada.

In Ontario's Slratford. Shake- speare ls played on something ap- proximating an Elizabethan stage. Dispensing entirely with the pros- cenium stage, it consists of a nar- row apron that projects into the middle of the auditorium. A form- alized wooden setting of columns and steps provides a balcony and an inner stage and there are also two entrances from the aft.

This is the sort of stage that lovers" of Shakespeare on the pro- fessional stage have often dreamed about and seldom seen except. in colleges. It makes possible. the fluidity and independence of scen- ery that Shakespearean drama thrives on.

Sociologists and other experts in such matters have been telling us for a generation or so that if people in the upper brackets don't have more children. the country will one day be taken over by the unwashed multitudes, and will go to pot. That never disturbed us greatly, however. because in Amer- ica bright youngsters always seem to turn up on the wrong side of the tracks. Furthermore. the number of dlmwlts and delinquent off- spring in the "best" families indi- cate ihat heredity is not every- thing. A new report from the pop- ulation research bureau should cheer even the most pessimistic on that score. however. College grad- uates sre having more children.

fine of the things that Canada has needed for a long time, it seems, is a definition of an Eski- mo. Recently the Northwest Ter- ritories Council set out to supply this lack, and came up with the following: "1.

N.W.T., shall. unless he elects not to be so con- sidered. be deemed to continue to be an Eskimo." Armed with this handy definition, the visitor to the North should have no difficulty in
