Transportation Emphasized

In the briefs presented to the Economic Commission here yester- day one problem was empiiasizcd particularly, and from s'm'ci'al dit- ferent angles. This was our trans- portation disadvantages. As the Provincial Government brief point- ed out. unless ,thcse facilities are improxed and transportation costs lowered. we cannot effectively ex- pand our economic potential or cap- italize fully upon our excellent tour- ist advantages. It was pointed out also that such national cntcrpriscs its defense. lcdcral participation in the St. Lawrence scaway. tariff policies. and the opening up of the North. which bring enormous bene- fits to several provinces, have very little effcct on the future prospects of Prince Edward Island. Power de- velopment in the Atlantic region. and other national policies of a reg- ional nature, including extension of markets for our basic products, are required to place us on I sound economic footing.

The brief makes a strong point in connection with the existing Do- minion grants on a per capita basis. Our basic minimal needs for ser- vices cannot adequately be main- tained in this manner. Matching grants. in particular, involve ac- ceptance of responsibilities which are much harder for us to meet than is the case with wealthier Provin- ces. ?

In the brief presented by the Federation of Agriculture, trans- portation was stressed along with the need of bringing our farm mar- keting practices up to the standard of efficiency prevailing in other in- dustries. All-weather roads and cheap power, development of pro- cessing and storage facilities, at- tention to farm woodlots. immigra- tion, thc development of joint and community ownership of heavier mechanized farm equipment. and other factors were discussed. Fed- eral assistance in education was listed among our major require- ments and this also was strongly emphasized in a short hricf present- ed by the Teachers Federation. The rising costs of municipal ad- ministration were dealt with by Mayor Stewart who pointed out that our civic revenues are strictly lim- lied, and we have about reached the Iaturation point in taxation. Even '1' the population remains station- ary. expenses for necessary sci-viccs will rise: but with the expansion in outlying areas there is every rcason -to expect. within the next few years. in considerable extension of city limits. with all that this involves in added servicing costs. Here again i was emphasized that any develop- .nenl of local economic activity will depend. first and foremost, on trans portalion. especially on an ir”IiliI'iii'P-

ment of ferry services at Rorrlcii and Wood islands. The Commission lir-ariiig was

short. and did not include any rcp- resentations from our important Hshing industry. or from our Board. of Trade. However. the statements proscntcd covcrcd ii irirlo fipiii They contained a good deal of solid meat which it is in be lmpc-rl--in the phrase of Lord Bacon----will be thoroughly Oiimved and digested.

No Bridge

During his S"t.l"lH'n in the Soviet Union? External Affairs Ministei Pearson was reported to have ex- changed sallics with his hosts con- cerning Canada's position with re- spect to Russo-American relations. in a facetious moment, which al- WD.Vs crops up when good'felldws get together, someone-whether it

' was Mr. Pearson or one of hisihosu

was not quite, clear from the new: .-um -Cannon

the situation much better. This. ac- cording to the report, was agreed to by Mr. Pearson.

Now, however. far away from Moscow. and having had some time in which to ponder the matter in a less jovial but perhaps more realistic setting than that which character- ized his Moscow visit. Mr. Pearson is "not sure” that this country wants to be a bridge. in any inter- pretive sense. between the Soviet Union and thc l'nitcd States. This is really a much better statement in every way than the earlier one Mr. Pearson could have been even more dogmatic in the matter and still be on sound diplomatic ground. Not only has this country no ”desii'c" to act as interpreter in this very com- plcx field of political relations: no government that could possibly be in control at Ottawa could reason- alily be expected to have the slight- est qualifications for such a diffi- cult assignment. There must be times, inrlecri. wlicn Canadian gov- crnment offii-ials find it difficult. enoiigh to hccp up with changing American policies. The only thing that lightens that task is that on most basic issues the two countries are usually in agreement.

It would seem that a reasonable "bridge" roll for Canada-if there must be one--would be that of help- ing along Firitisli-American rela- tions. when and where the oppor- tunity might present itself. As a matter of fact. this used to be a favourite topic for goodwill speeches in all three countries. Lately. for some reason. it seems to have drop- ped out of circulation.

"FIRE HAZARDS"

Sir,---The week ended October 15 was advertised quite widely as Fire Prevention Week. which ad- vertising we believe was done at the Provincial taxpayersl ex- pense. We wonder to what extent. if any. the objective was promot- ed. Our experience may be of interest In your readers.

Adjacent to our property in the Village of Parkdale and on the riverside there has accumulated during the last year a consider- able quantity of rubbish, for the most part limbs and trunks of trees. originating, we have been told. from within the boundaries of the City of Charlottetown. In the spring of 1955 when these ma- terials had become quite dry and were considered by us to con- stitute a real fire hazard. we brought the matter to the atten- tion of the Provincial Fire Mar- shall bv telephone. Shortly after. the debris was bulldozed into heaps and the Fire Marshall Is- surcd us it would be destroyed wit.-hin I reasonable time.

it not having been destroyed and much more having accumu- lated. we, about the middle of "Q ”,againl'L "him Ind. thinking that possibly the City of Charlottetown might have some responsibility in the matter. we. by telephone. reported the situation to one of its Councillors. The former stated to the effect that he was doing his utmost to have the hazard removed and the latter that he would give the matter his prompt attention. There being no visible evidence of the hazard hcing removed. we. lllIde'I' date of' October 4. by let- ter again brought the matter to the attention of the Fire Mar- shall. Since that date we have

dlud several telephone conversa- tions with him and have been as- sured that plans were beinz i made to again bulldoze the de- bris into heaps. At this writing it has not hccn donc. Further. if concentrated into heaps and not destroyed, the hazard is intensi- fled.

The situation appears to be that the quite tire conscious City of Charlottcloiwi is dumping some of its ombiistlhle refuse over the fence. as it were. on the property of its good neighbour. the Village of Parkdnlc. and on property in this Village owned. we understand. by our Provin- cial Government Annnrciilly, our Government is using the tax payers' money to encourage the public to remove the hazards while. at the same time. main- tainlmz at least one itself. is it in case of "Do as I say. not as I do"

it so happens. too. that nearby the City of Charlottetown maln- talns a dump where it kccps a man. part of whose duties. it ap pears. is to destroy by burning auoh ombustibie materials. Wi- wonder whv the debris dumped on the Government property ad lacent to our premises and im burned was not taken to the above mentioned dump and dc- -troyed there.

At this time we In more than normally concerned since we are in the process of filling our build ing with I relatively expensive inventory of fertilizers intended for the use of our farmers In the spring of 1956. Nine years ago we experienced the complete lost of our buiidlntzs bv fire that had spread from adjacent premises. and we would much dislike it to happen again.

The Army Cadet Movement

National Defense Bulletin

An organization which had its! inc. . . . J. do I nation. and which was able to provide for its country more than 160,000 partially-trained volunteers during two world wars. has mat- erially assisted in attaining for Canada her present position in the modern world.

Dedicated to the task of assisting youths to develop within them- selves the principles of leadership. patriotism and good citizenship. the Royal Canadian Army Cadet organization is nearing its centen- nlal of service to Canada.

The Cadet movement made its first appearance in Canada in 1861

when two Cadet Corps were formed l

in the Province of Quebec. No. 1 St. Hyacinthe College Cadet Corps and No. 2 Bish'i'i's C" We "ml Cadet Corps. They were known then as "Association pose of Drill".

There are now 560 Army cadet i

corps with I total enrolment of 65.000 cadets. These corps are lo- cated in centres from Yellowknife

to Windsor and from Victoria to-

Newfoundland. Since the end of the

cadets have enrolled in the ranks of the Regular Army and many others have been i i ” T” 4 of ex-cadets have gone into Militia units.

More than 120.000 ex-Army cadets voluntarily enlisted during the Second World War and of this number more than 19.000 received commissions and more than 2.700 were awarded decorations.

The present strength of 65.000 has been tiivldul amond mili- tary commands across Canada based on the number of boys in secondary schools and the popular- ity of cadet training within the various commands.

Eighty percent of these youths train with ”school cadet corps", under the sponsorshi of local boards of education. e remaind- er are members of "open corps" - cadet units formed outside school under the sponsorship of Canad- ian Army units. services clubs. and other organizations and persons.

Although Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps vary in strengths up to W9 cadets. the minimum for my one unit has been set at 20 cadets. -

Establishment for officers and ......-commissioned officers within I cadet corps is patterned on the Canadian Army. Cadet training Iii carried out under the supervision of members of the instruc onal and administrative cadres o the Regular Army. in co-operation with provincial education.

training at summer camps. Local headquarters training is given on a three-year progressive instruct- ional coursc, the aim being to give the cadet sound instruction in sub- jects such as drill. small arms and rifle shooting. organized sports wireless signalling. map reading, fieldcraft. first aid and funda- mental instruction in administrat- ion. welfare and other subjects. Summer training for about 6.000 cadets is carried out at command cadet trades training camps dur- ing school summer holidays. The

l training is of seven weeks duration

and is designed to qualify cadets as military drivers. wireless oper- ators. rifle coaches and basic train- ing instructors. The basic instruct- ors course. called the Senior Lead- er Course. is designed to train selected cadets as cadet officers and cadet nun-commissioned of- ficers.

As an award for outstanding cadet scrvice. 235 carefully select- ed cadets attend a National Cadet Camp. This camp is of three weeks duration and is held at Banff. Alta.. in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Here. aside from nor- mal subjects. the syllabus includes one week of touring interesting points in the vicinity and one week hi. i in the r- t ' ” under the instruction of National Parks rangers and Army personnel.

PLAN DIET TO SUIT AGE

Your age is an important. cou- slderation in anY reducing ma" In fact. your age has I lot to do in determining the amount of food you should eat even when not dieting.

The principle of a reducing diet is to cut down your dailyfuel supply reduce the numbe of calorles- Cpl- ories, you see. are the basic unit: we use to measur: the heat value of food. Practicallymll food .i.on- igmg them in varying quantities. A GOOD DIET I A ,

Thus, a good reducing diet gives you enough calories to keep Y0"? body machinery running properly. and just enough additional to take care of your extra activities which. of course. depend upon YQUY 839-

Youngsters are still gr0Wln8. and generally are far more active than older persons. Consequenfbu they have higher energy requirements and need a generous allowance of calories. Their energy-burnins activities, however. willluse uP these surplus calories. giving them the same loss of weight as persons on a scantier calorie diet.

While women in the 20 to 40 age bracket are in the safest stage of life, they must be careful what. they eat. because they are also in the reproductive stage.

Although tuberculosis rates are moderately high in this age group. they are generally in less danger of disease or organic breakdown. They use food with the greatest econ- omy during this period. so can stand a fairly drastic reducing program.

The middle-aged must be careful what they eat because they are approaching the time when the body begins to wear out.

For those of you over 40. your weight reduction is geared to a slower pace, because you can't burn fat too fast without putting a strain on both your heart and kidneys.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

A.S.: I have Rh negative blood. Can I have a transfusion from a person with Rh positive blood?

Answer: You should only receive blood that is Rh negative, and since fifien percent of the popul- ation has Rh negatve blood, this should not be too difficult for you to obtain.

Treasure In The Ice

These broken bits of pottery and arrowheads as delicately formed as the hands of a watch were being used on an Arctic plateau while the Egyptians were building their Pyramids 4.500 years ago.

That is the fascination of the dis covery made on the Firth River by Dr. MacNeish of the National Museum and his associates on an archeological expedition.

The British have occupied their islands for less than 2,000 years. Ind the Egyptians have been in the Nile Valley for 6.000 years. Yet we have thought of them as very old and gave litle thought to the possibility that in North merica cultures were being born and were dying thousands of years ago.

The cautious Dr. MacNeish de- clines to say. until radioactive dai- lng tests have been made. how old are the bones he found beside the ancient tools 20 miles from the Arctic 0.-cun. BI" he the potery . were to Siberian types 3.000 to 5.000 years old and the films found in the perma-frost can be thousands of years older than that. He has un covered the traces of nine differ- ent civilizations. some previously unknown in North America.

No Valley of the Kings. this bleak eminence where the prehis toric hunters waited for the deer or other game now vanished from ear th. Unlikely it is that treasure in the sense of gold or inlaid thrones will ever be found in the Arctic. But. there is magic here in the un foirlivi" of a story we hardly knew existed and we share the excite- ment nf the archaeologists who turn its pages as they dig in the rubble and ice.

The days of the dictators seem to be passing, though we still have them. behind the iron curtain in Europe. in Franco's Spain nnd somewhat mildly in some South American lands.

Rugged imlivlduallsts. who try to build up their own pensions for their old age are discriminated against by Canada's tax laws. They make the mistake of being self- employed and self-reliant. So the Government won't let them deduct their pension purchase installments from their taxable income .But people who work for somebody else may do so up to 01.500 a year if they pay into an approved pension fund operated by their em- ployers. Why the difference? Why shouldn't the man who works for himself get the same tax conces- sions as the man on a payroll? -Vancouver Sun.

It Is good to be proud of the place where one lives. Such pride like all pride, can be unreasonable and foolish. but any excess is to be deplored. it is possible to be a saint. or a devil. in Peterbor- ough, and a few people take ad- vantage of both opportunities. It is possible to read the classics and the comic books here, even as it is in Ottawa. Noble lives. and base lives; enlightenment and ignorance; mirth and misery; these things are as much within our grasp as they they are in Ottawa. or in even lar. ger places. In the end it rests not with the census statistics of our dwelling-place but with ourselves. -Peterborough Examiner.
