Mr. MacLean Honoured

Congratulations are due to Mr.

J. Angus MacLean, M.P., on being ;invited to join a tour of the United States to be made by a dozen par- liamentarians from ten NATO coun- tries. Mr. MacLean is one of two members chosen from the Canadian Parliament, and no better choice could have been made. Mr. MacLean is particularly interested in ques- tions of national defence, his own experience having covered war and post-war service in the Air Force, which he left as 9. Wing Commander bearing the Distinguished Flying Cross and a Mention in Despatches. He stands high in the estimate of members of Parliament, and has shown m a r k e d conscientiousness and ability in his duties as represen-

tative.

I A Conservative publication re- cently noted that Mr. MacLean is perhaps the only Member of Parlia-

, ment who belongs to another "ex- clusive club", membership of which, like Parliament, is only at the price of some travail. It is unique be- cause it is limited to those who have saved their lives by forced para- chute jump from an aircraft. Known

as the Caterpillar Club, Mr. Mac- Lean joined it the hard way in 1942. A pilot in Bomber Command. he was shot. down over enemy-occupied Hol- land and made his way back to Eng- land on an extensive underground "Cookls Tour" which took him to Belgium, France, Spain and Gib- ,l:altar. We trust that he will find less arduous going in his parliamentary tour of the United States.

The Seaway

The general view among quali- fied economists. if one may judge by the statements they have made from time to time, is that the St. Lawrence Seaway will be of much greater service to the United States than to Canada, although this coun- "try is paying almost four-fifths of the cost. In this country, Ontario will be the greatest beneficiary; the

far between, though not necessarily negligible. These facts are not caus- ing Maritimers any great loss of sleep; at no time have they fixed their hopes of industrial develop- ment on the Seaway. What most people of this region would like to see was summed up by the Premier of this Province when he appeared before the Gordon Economic Com- mission. "Th e national govern- ment", said the lion. Mr. Matheson. I "is heavily committed to the St. Lawrence Seaway, which will bring innumerable advantages to the cen- tral provinces. same time adopt, both as regional and national policy. the compar- '.stively tiny project of improving shipping and power facilities here?" If the Government of Canada will take due note of the inferences and claims contained in Mr. Math- ,non's well thought out statement, and act upon them in good faith. -they need not feel any compulsion apologize to Maritimers for the -small benefits that are likely to jcome their way from the St. Law- rence Seaway. "

Mr. Pearson's Optimism

It is possible that Mr. Ben-Gurion, the Premier of Israel, may have had some items of inter- est to discuss which the Egyptian Premier had overlooked or neglect-

. ed to mention. There may have been

many good reasons for Mr. Pear-l son's bypassing Israel. but so far they have not been published. Per- haps more information on this-point will be available when Israel's For- eign Minister arrives in Canada next week.

One statement made by Mr. Pearson--vif he has been quoted cor- rectly-is especially intriguing. "I have not changed my mind on fun- damentals," he said. "I have learned a lot". No doubt, he will have more to say about that one of these days. Meanwhile. Canadians from coast to coast will join in welcoming him home; and the general hope will be that his optimistic outlook with re- spect to world affairs, and especial- ly Middle East affairs which appear to contain the most potential dan- ger at the moment, will be justified by events.

A Historian's Views

The eminent historian Professor Arnold Toynbee is by no means a confirmed pessimist with respect to the status and future of Western civilization. On the other hand, he is not one to exaggerate his hopes or minimize his fears on any subject about which he writes or speaks. In his view, which he discussed in a re- cent speech before an American audience, the chief trouble with Western man is that. in general, he has discarded the religious founda- tions on which his civilization was built. The trouble began in the late 17th century when Wrarcrners fell into the error of minimizing the im- portance of religion and exalting science and technology. The tragedy now, Dr. Toynbee thinks, is that Western man practices a technolog- ical way of life, as distinct from the religious way of life of his fore- fathers. while still professing I be- lief in freedom, which has no mean- ing apart from religion. From any other vantage point freedom sooner

' or later leads to self worship, and

this, in turn, leads to worship of col- lective human power-that is to say. totalitarianism.

Dr. Toynbee appears to believe that the ideological tensions be- tween East and West will never be resolved unless the West can con- vinoe the East that Christianity is, in fact, the basis of its way of life. "We must choose and choose soon", said Dr. Toynbee, "between losing our freedom and reestablishing its religious foundations". He hasn't in mind the emotional sort of religious revival which crops up every now and again and enjoys a brief period

"of popularity; he is thinking rather of an intellectual awareness of re- ligion's legitimate--and preeminent -place in man's life. He believes that "the West must win its way by argument. by figuring out its beliefs and then practising them in all

Could it not at the I

areas of society”. Only in this way, he thinks, can Western civilization hope to save itself from destruction. as a result of internal corrosion.

MR. PARKER'S ADDRESS

sir,eAll thoughtful citizens. con- cerned with the educational pro- gram in our Province. must frel indebted to your paper for the more than generous space alloc- ated to the address which i ii-"V9 at the semi-annual meclinz "5 "'9 Provincial Home and. School. Your editorials dealing with. education have always been incisive. CUB- Itructlve and creative.

However, in the present situat- inn. I do wish that the editorial space allocated to certain aspect! of my talk had been devoted to thcsuhstance and not lo the trivia. The fact still remains that too many academically educated critics of the public school effort have not I scientific knowledge of the research information which has accumulated regarding "'0 learning processes during the last fifty years.

Could you not in the near future. editorialize on the following Quill- ions which seem pertinent to our Island education problems It the present time?

1- Does the evidence indicate that there is gross inequality of educational opportunity for many of our children in rural and village areas?

2. Is the shortage of qualified teachers a real menace to the future development of our Drov- ince?

:1, Is the crux of our problem indicated by the fact that three quarters of our Island schools are one-room schools with the teach- ing conditions pertaining?

4. Is there any other practical golut fsvsilable for immediate con Ition than of composite schools for Grades 7 lo 10 and the development of the larger admin- istrative unit?

Again thanking you for the in- valuable leadership your paper is giving in this Province.

1 am Sir, elr.. K. A. PARKER. Superintendent Board of School Trustees of Char- loitctown.

(The points underlined by Mr. Parker are all very important. and his complimentary references much appreciated. But we cannot agree with him in dismissing as "trivia" the parts of his address dealing with criticism of our ed- ucational standards. Surely it is as important to know where we are going educationally as it is I find competent guides and equipment for the journey. That may indeed be the real "crux of the problem" which we have buried under so much technical jargon.--Ed.G.)

di Two i)S.PrRoAcl:MHEsil A A Prairie Conservation Proiect

By Don Peacock Canadian Press Stuff

A vast conservation project that one day might mean the difference between drink and drought over much of the Prairies has reached the operational stage.

It took eight years. It cost f6,- 300,000 in federal funds for con- struction of amosi 1.000 miles of roads and trails through some of the highest. most rugged--and, in- cidentally. most beautiful-terrain in the country. And it will demand unflagging vigilance from some 70 forest rangers and maintenance personnel until at least W13.

The real work of the Eastern Rockies Forest Conservative Board is to ipulate vegetation in the 8.000-square-mile area so that its rich water resources will continue in supply the three Prairie prov- inces through the sprawling Sask- atchewan river system.

IMPORTANT WATERSHED

Board chairman Maj.-Gen. How- ard Kennedy Iald in an interview that virtusly the whole Prairie population depends on the Rockies eastern watershed water from which is delivered to towns and cities across Alberta. Saskatche- wan, and Manitoba by the Sask- atchewan river and its many tribu- taries.

Other sources of water in the area, Gen. Kennedy said. are chiefly stationary: that is, water collected in low spots from melt- ing snow and rain.

In some areas yearly precipita- lion rarely is more than 12 inches. which he said is close to desert conditions. In the Rocky mountains forest reserve. however. precipita- tion may sverise U. llcll u- Illy.-with some sections 1 up to 50. '

At present, snow and glaciers high on the mountain slopes are the practical guarantee for the "sskatchewan'I summer flow. But the glaciers grow smaller every year. one day they may be gone.

It was with an eye to that day that Alberta and the federal gov- ernment in 1947 set up the Join- board to administer wlterahcn management in the forest reserve.

FEDERAL CONTRIBUTION

Main role of the federal govern-

ment was to finance building of ranger stations and communica- lions throughout the tree. This part of the project was officially concluded on March II. A few tug ends in gravelllug roads and so on were cleaned up this summer. - Alberta now is responsible for maintenance through the re- mainder of the ibolrdls iii-year life. But the autonomous board with one federal and two provincial representatives, remains the Id ministrailvc body.

The board considers fire ifreatcst enemy. in I recent pam- pllillel on its work. the board said of

FINE TRUNK ROAD

Backbone of the system is a two-lane gravelled trunk road run- ning 274 miles north from Cole- man. in the Crowsnest pass of southwestern Alberta, to Nordeu. in the valley of the North Saskatch- ewan east of Jasper. The southern section of this road, from Coleman to the Kananaskis forest experi- mental farm on the Calgary-Banff' highway about 50 miles from Cal- gary. was first opened three years ago; the remainder in September.

The project has opened up in motor traffic I Rocky mountain region rich in fish and game that once was accessible to only the strong-legged hiker or the pack- horse. '

Gen. Kenn edy described the scenery along the trunk road as superb. At one point near the Kan-I anaskis lakes, some 60 miles south- west of Calgary. the road climbs to an altitude of 7,300 feel, he- iievcd the highest for any engin- eered highway in Canada. The Trans - Canada Highway reaches about 5,000 feet at the Great Divide on the Alberta-British Columbia boundary.

The road is open to public travel all summer except for periods of high forest fire hazard. All travel- lers must register with rangers If its entrances and exits. -

"if I fire starts we want to know who started it.” he said. "Then we are absolutely merciless. Then were uomerious fires 13.33: ro- serve area this year. he said. and damage was negligible.

TOURIST SHELTERS

Nineteen shelters have been built at good fishing and viewing spots along the road where travellers may cook I meal or camp out. There are no coffee shops, hotels. service stations or any qther form of urban civilization except ranger posts along the way.

Gen. Kennedy said traffic has risen as hill! as 40 can In hour during summer weekends. '

Real danger may come in . tendency to set scientists and humanist: against each other, mg though I natural warfare must forever be waged between them, so that what one may Kain. the other must lose. Such a spirit will only divide still further the one from the other. at the very time when I deeper reconciliation and mutual trust is needed. The worst thing that could happen is for the scientist to pride himself in his ignorance of the humanities. while the humanist prides himself in his disinterest in the so-ca"ed practi- cal subjects. .It would be more than ever healthier and realistic. It the present time, for scientists and humanlsts 'alike.iIf crisis in Western civilization. to subord- lnate the negative and defensive in their latitudes toward each other. in favor of the positive and the outgoing. The future does not lie in the triumph of either over the other. but in their understand- ing unity in what is. lifter all, at single cause. --Montreal Gaz- I c.

--Now York Times.

While such advice may be pro- msture in this region of the coun- try, it is nevertheless worth our keeping ln mind for the months ahead. In the beginning and cod- ing of almost every winter season in New 3. wick there are need- less tragedies caused by t.houdit- leuness or outright esrelusuess.
