' There should be no more delay in enlarg- ing the boundaries of Charlottetown to take in the built up area now on its outskirts. .Years of inaction‘and shortslghtcdness have resulted in haphazard building which adds nothing but confusion to what should be regulated and planned growth.

Citizens have every right to be proud of the layout of Charlottetown proper, and al- though it will take years to develop harmon- iously the areas which must now be added, it should be commenced at once.

A commendable panel discussion of the problems involved took place at Rotary luncheon yesterday, a full report of which is elsewhere in this issue. It is evident from the remarks of the speakers, that all are aware that something must be done immed- lately. The Provincial Government has pass- ed an act which allow such built up areas to become partially incorporated and to take legal steps to solve their prolems.

The suggestions as to a basis of incorpor- ation with Charlottetown are sound and should appeal to all concerned. It is only necessary now that the delegates of the interested parties get together and decide _upon a mutually agreeable course of action.

Further delay will only aggravate the sit- nation and as more than one speaker said, may well prove dangerous to the health and

llatlonal Defence

A striking feature of military trends for many years has been the rapidly increas- ing cost. of maintaining a soldier in the field. Exercise "Sweetbriar”, if it shows nothing else, makes it quite clear that the trend will not only be continued but enorm- "ously ‘accelerated in any Arctic campaign. ,With manpower thus becoming relatively less in demand than equipment it is import- ant to consider whether the time has not

wartime strength. The ever increasing ‘de- mands for training in the use of weapons, means of communication, inter-service co- operation, intelligence, supply and adaptabil- ity to diverse conditions seem to call for full time training for at least those troops which would be required in the early stages bf conflict which, under today's conditions, might well be also the decisive stages.

In the Balkans as well as in China, Com- munism is on the increase, playing right Into Soviet hands. This lends point to Mr. Howard Green's (P.C., Vancouver-South) statement in the House of Commons that with China now in Russian hands Canada is in greater danger than ever. Mr. Green said he felt that if “trouble" comes it will be in the North and hotin the South Pacific “Members of Parliament must be realistic

"The shortest and easiest road to the heart bf democracy is across the Bering Strait through Alaska, Northern Canada and on to the United States." It behooved Canada to bring the nations of the Pacific together. "I suggest this is a time of great uncertainty for every Canadian. I think a strong lead from Parliament would be helpful.”

Probably no people in the world have proved themselves more adapted to farm- ing than have the Dutch. They have de- veloped their country agriculturally to a remarkably high level. of production .I and added enormously to its acreage by dint of pushing back the sea. In spite of these ef- forts, the Netherlands are faced with an ever growing over-population, and the fly- ing visit of Prince Bernhardt to this coun- try has dramatically focused attention on their need to find new lands Ibroadfor their people.

The United States has been converted to the policy of non-discrimination so far as imports by other nations are concerned. The frequent rumblings from Maine and other potato producing areas indicate that a little discrimination in their favour would not be Inwelcome.

Electronic computors are now made which can rapidly answer questions which the human brain would take years to work out if at all. Perhaps our best bet for peace would be to concentrate on building a machine which could solve that problem which at the moment seems beyond the ken of man.

HIGH SCHOOL IUOGIITION ‘

sir.--For some time there have been murmur-lugs of I new High School for Queen‘: County, but to date them seems to be little definite data on the subject. Where, when, and how may be known to rfew, but there are many who are very buy on the subject. At any rate the ‘,'l1ow" is still unanswered.

There is definite need for in- creasing our educational facilities. Due to i is some people shrug and say we imply must have a high school. Others, however, cannot see where the money will come from.

As a suggestion, I would like to mention the profits from the sale of liquor in Queen's County. Let us suppose that for one year (just one), the Government of our Province turned over the profits from the sale of liquor for the construction of a high school.

It seems logical to assume thIt more people would buy more li- quor if it was to further education of our children. Even sbstainers

People who have seen the Boy scout movement in action, and who realize its constructive inﬂuence in moulding the character of youth. will doubtless contribute readily to the current financial campsl;n which seeks 325.000 in New Bruns- wick for maintenance and devel- -pment of the Scouting program.

The boys are not asking the pub-

lie to clothethem with uniforms and supply them with badges and other equipment—fur from it. They NY for all these needs, and do so gladly. What the citizens are asked to do is to help the-organization meet its administration and supr- vision costs and expand the scope of its work so that every boy, whether he lives in a city or town or village or on I remote farm. will have the opportunity to participate in Scouting. This activity is of direct benefit to the boys themselves; and in- directly. if is of benefit to the entire community. Good Scouts—- srd good Wolf Cubs—are wholesome, heal- thy. clean-living, clean-thinking boys, alert and interested in the world about them, proud of the diversity of practical skills they have acquired, and. proverbinlly eager to be of assistance to other people. Scouting directs into worth- while channels the natural tend- ency for boys to “gang together" and to find diversions to occupy their time and attention. Invar- inbly it has been found that as Scouting expands in any district, juvenile delinquency contracts.

THE POTATO SITUATION

Srir.—ln reply-to A letter pub- lished in your forum March llth under the heading of Farmers, it would seem that neither writer or T. J. Kickham have made a very close study of the causes leading up to present unsatisfactory con- dition prevailing in the potato in- dustry. The people who are di- rectly responsible for the wreck- ing of our potato industry are. only few in_nu.mber in comparison to the number of potato growers throughout the Mai-itimes. This minority group consists of a few large dealers, a few produce com- panies, and some speculaters who are financing the growing of thousands of acres of potatoes. Some of them are members of the Provincial Governments of the Marltimes. some in the Federal House. This group, for the last 10 years or more has been selling potatoes under contract to the for- eign trade months before the po- tatoes are grown, thus cutting out competition from small dealers and affording themselves huge pro- fits. Our politicians boast of our free enterprise system: yet we find these same politicians are among the ones implicated in the price fixing in the potato indus- try. I believe it. must be quite clear to the majority ‘of farmers why in past years when a delega- tion was sent to Charlottetown, or Ottawa. or elsewhere to plead the farmer’: case it has been I

Why not get. behind the Federation of Agriculture and support it one hundred per cent and have a firm body that can and will honestly represent us. I believe Mr. Kick- ham's suggestion to Parliament for I levy on potato acreage is the only solution with a few clauses added which he Ipparently omit- ted. First. the grower must be I farmer owning his own land; sec- ond. ln cases where rented land is used the grower must be I farmer and use this land for the sole purpose of making I living; third. that the assessment be.nol: $l0.00‘but $25.00 on the (her 20 acreage to a maximum of one hun- dred acres or more. The general idea of this is to reduce the cen- age. Why not make it ,strong enough to get results? Hui Mr. Kickham wished to do his Pro- vince real service he would have asked Parliament to investigate the price spread between producer and consumer in the table stock trade; Ilso the Iprood between what the producer got: for his seed and the produce compsniel get through their contract system of marketing. I believe such an investigation would bring to light some very interesting fscts to our
