A PATRIOT MARE’S NEST

It is useless for our local contem-

porary to deny that its misleading reference to the Dominion Govern- lnent's contribution to the trans- Uuiada highway on Tuesday was made in good faith, or that lt did cot deliberately falsify the meaning of the words in the agreement- ll laid:

“The official reply from Ottawa is that it will pay only half the cost,l that it is it fifty-fifty proposiiionl with regard to the asphalt-surfaced portion of the highway and then it says this arrangement applies to only eight miles. The total length of the proposed highway is approx- imately .fifty miles."

The “eight” miles was emphasized

by our contemporary in black type.

It now contends its statement was

that not more than eight miles of the highway would be undertaken on a fifty-fifty basis “during the currency of the agreement." No such words were used by cur contemporary in its Tuesday'-0 comment on the Ottawa announce- ment. Wg repeat that its charge on that occasion, namely, that the "arrangement" with the Dominion. Government “applies to only ish! miles" was false and misleading: and that it was deliberately so, the Liberal press being fully aware that thg “arrangement” and "the cur- rency of the agreement" are two entirely different things, the one being applicable to the whole pro- ieot, the other merely to the cur- rent fiscal year, after which the

agreement may be renewed on thc lame basis.

Our contemporary having admit- tea that the fail cost, up to $50.- 000, of the Borden concrete high- way, plus c” -half the cost of the asphalt, higgvay to Charlottetown,

is be‘.n|`paid by the Bennett Gov- ernment, we were curious to dis- cover what excuse.it had to offer for stating. last October, that "Ben- nett -pays only about 2s per cent of the total cost as against 48 per cent under the former Liberal policy.” not we and nothing in its yester- day`s issue by way of extenuation, explanation, or apology for lhl-I glaring misstatement. The com- parison between the two party pol- icies, which thc Liberal organ in- vited in October, it now ccnvli- lmtly ignores. `Its rub-thumping about broken promises, however. would be more convincing if it frankly admitted its previous mis- ltatements; much more so if it could show wherein its own party leaders, federal or provincial, suc- ceeded in implementing their elec- tion platforms, or achieved as much for this Province, during I- period cf alleged overflowing prosperity. as have the Bennett and MacMillan govemmcnts while flghli-UE the Worst economic depression in world

Notes By The Way

One ul the most perniclcus things

you can do for yourself is to tui-

yourseil. It poisons your jidgmelit, it unsettles your mental balance, it blasts your happiness, it spoils the happiness cf other people, it dis- organizes your relations with the world about you. it upsets your whole life. A man who liver: alone in an upstairs room or two, in an old wooden tenement, and has few of the pleasures of life in his ex- pcrience, was talking the other day. "1 want to tell you one thing," he said; "whim you get control or your faculties thc question of riches and poverty is of small account." And he went on his way cheerful.

In his recent book “ln the Steps

ol. the Master," Mr. H. V. Morton relates that while poking about in a. drawer' full of soaps in a shop in Jerusa.'l:m he discovered a R,,.m an tile embossed with a. circular stamp and the letters of the Tenth Desion. He purchased and polished the tile, and as he admired it, he WI°l|2. "1 longed to be able by some process of clairvoyancy to see the world of which it was so provoking a fragment." That is the wish and the task of the student and the teacher: through the vicarious ex- periences to sec. to feel, to appre- ciate tlie past.

The American newspaper pub-

llsher, William Randolph Hearst took occasion in a recent national broadcast to speak the plain, un- censored truth" about Russia. Dres- plfe his earlier views on the great communistic enterprise in that country, he is definitely critical to- day. He described the Soviet gov- ernmental cxperlment as a fearful failure, which was "only to be ex- pected from putting people who could not can: for their own inter- ests successfully in charge of thc administration of public affairs."- Calgary Herald.

Mr. Bourasliu. is an old member of

In disagreement with his leader, Laurier ,he became Ng. tionalist. organized a party Ln Que-' bee, of which he is the sole survivor in the Commons.

As a prophet he never failed to

A greater perversion off the truth against a great man can; hardly be conceived. even in relation to a paper that will resort to anyi means to befoul the good name cf` our Province and its people,

These statements are word for

word in line with Conservative poi- icy: Hon. R. B. Be.nnett‘s policy, pronounced by him frequently on the liustirlgs and in Parliament, as the objective of all his trade efforts; the Imperial Conference: the World's Conference where this has been his foremost project.

JUST FOR TRUTH

earlier years the Anti-Tuberculosis Societies had been highly effective in disseminating knowledge of the disease. no prcvlsiczi had rnen made by the Govemmnet or any agency to make possible tha earlier diagnosis of cases, their hospitali- zation, or the supervision of con- tacts. -

In July, 1022, Dr. R. 13; Wode- li0u-Se. tltn executive secretary of the Canadian Tuberculosis Associa- tion. accompanied by the late Dr. J. W. Robertson, then chairman of the Canadian Red Cross society, visited Prince Edward Island and addressed meetings in Charlotte- town and Summnrsldc outlining a program of co-operation by which an adequate tuberculosis control program could be conducted. Hope ,was expressed of obtaining the lamount of $100,000 to make im- ‘mediately possible tbn fulfillment of the plans. Although these funds were not obtained, the work was ,undertaken and brought to a suc- cessful ccncluslon in 1931 with the

and was succeeded bv Miss Mons Wilson. With demands for increas- ing service, additional nurses were appointed. School medical and den- tal services were provided and of- fortc were made to effect the san- itary improvement of the school buildings. Dental and tonsil clinics were held and clinics for tba exam- ination and treatment of crippled children inaugurated. Throuvli the efforts of the Red, Cross Society vaccination against diphtheria and smallpox wls conducwd and in- struction given in home nursing. the cam of infants, and in fini.-aid.

During thil period the Canadian

'ruberoulolil Aalociation Allin demonstrated its willingness to as- sist in meeting the problem of tub- erculosis. Although the public were

Visits were made to nine centres and 189 cases were examined. This survey emphasized the necessity of 'providing a permanent diagnostic service and adequate sanatorium facilities.

Prince Edward Island was not

alone in having an unsolved tuber- culosis problem. New B; unswlck and Nova Scotia wen: also facing sim- ilar needs. In 1025 a conference was held in Kentville, NB., of phy- sicians particularly interested in tuberculosis with representatives or the Provincial Departments of Health. The major findings of the conference were contained in a resolution urging that rt special educational programme be institut- ed in the thrrn provinces if money could be obtained. Through the co- operation of the Canadian Life 0!- ficers' Association these plans were made possible and the Maritime* Tuherculosis Educational Comm1tr‘ tee was organized in 1926. The demonstration as planned by the committee was to continue for a period of five years. As a msult of the years of educational effort in Prince Edward Island public support was at once accorded the plans for a permanent programme. It was indeed pleasing that a. provincial sanatorium containing fifty beds was planrrrd, constructed and open- ed in the city of Charlottetown be- fore the termination of the five- years' demonstration. The partici- pation of the Canadian Life Oi- fi:crs' Association in the whsle project of providing effective tubir- culcsis control in the Maritimel Provinces has proved to be one of the most valuable contributiotis which the life insurance companies have made to organizvd public health.

The commit‘rc made available

the services of Dr. G. J. Wherrctt. who undertook tn conduct disgnos- tic clinics twice yearly, and made possible also tuberculosis follow-up work by the Red Cross nursing staff. Those arrangements vi-,erc continued until the appointment, in November, 1928, of Dr. P. A. Creel- man as dia"n:s'ician for Prince Edward Island. Dr. Creelmau was at the same time appointed tht? first chief health officer for the province to serve in a full-time capacity.

Before the conclusion of the dem-

onstration the Gomrnment announ- ced the formation of a department of health, with the appointment ol the Hon. Dr. W. J. P. MacMillan ar the first minister of public h‘alth. Dr. B. C. Kopeing was appointed chief health office". Dr., P. A. Crnciman wus appointed mef‘ical director of the sanatorium and in charge of the tuberculosis program of the provlhre. Public health lib- oratory facilities have been provid- ed in the sanatorium. The nursinl
