that the 1948 corn crop will be the biggest on record-and more corn means more and fatter cat-

tle and hogs. Many a butcher, farmer and economist claims there is no

shortage at all, that Americans simply are eating more meat than ever before. They trace the situ- ation back to the war years: the armed services’ high meat ration, boosted civilian demands, soaring grain prices.

And the producer obviously isn't worried sick about the nice return he's getting for his meat. Other factors naturally enter into the picture but it is basically true, the experts say, that the house- wife herself sets prices in the long Consumer resistance might well be the one sure way to bring prices down.

Buyers’ Strike

There was a demonstration of this late lest summer. But the housewives’ boycott was unorgan- ized and it got nowihcre. Buyers went back to their old habit of buying at whatever price was ask- ed-A-nd went right. on complain- ing.

As long as the record demand continues, observers insist. so will the record price level —- unless livestock production booms to the point where stomachs are full and prices fail away

Meanwhile, Americans are min- taining another record: the aver- age annual per capita consump- tion is 145 pounds of beefsteak. pork tenderloin, lamb chops and hot pastrsnni sandwiches.

False Impreciosa

Prince Edward Islanders in Ot- tawa. today told The Guardian that while these figures are no doubt accurate inasmuch as they are tak- en from court records. they give a false impression of ths drinking habits of men and women of the Island province.

"For instance" said one promin- ent Government official born at Charlottetown. "in Quebec in 1047 or any other year you could buy beer In any grocery store just as you could buy ginger ale. bread. milk or potatoes. But in Prince Edward Island it was s crime eith- er to buy or sell beer without a "script" in 1947. The same principle holds good for Ontario and some of the western provinces as for Que- bee."

Anothen forimer Charlottetown Prince Ed- ward Islarid s. man likes s. drink as well as his fellow-shah in Western Canada.

He added: “You have to look st the map to learn the true story Look at these vast stretches of land on the prairies and in the

"They can run liquor in and out. hold uproarious parties in the set- tlements snd maybe the Mounties don't hesr about it until two weeks later. You can't compare Prov- inces like that. with s small. self- contained. well-policed Province like Prince Edward Island. With- out taking into account these fact»

ors of geography. the statistics published by the Bureau are totally misleading."

l-fs further maintained that iri Provinces where liquor was freely sold in 1947. the crime of bootlegs;- lng was practically unknown. The bootlegger simply couldn't com- pete with Government liquor stores in price and quality except at nights and on holidays

“It would be a sad day for us in Canada if education were low- ered to a mere system of mechanic- al training." warned Mr. M. F. Thompson, director of vocational training. Department of Labour, Ottawa, in addressing s large number of city school teachers snd members of the School Improve- ment League in Queen Square hail last evening.

"We have had a striking illustrat- ion of that mistake in what took place in Germany previous to snd during the last war where the German system developed a class cf more robots," Mr. Thompson added.

He coilid not sgres with those who claimed that there was lio difference between academic edu- cation and vocational training. "To my mind,” he said. “vocational and academic training are supple- mentary and complementary to each other. Those that are best adapted to work with thelr_hcads will profit most from academic education; others will profit most from vocational training. The tragedy of education in Canada. up to recent years, was that it we; solely academic. “It was de- signed for the three or four per cent of the student body. During the years of depression. I heard of thousands of young men who were not fitted by the system to earn their daily bread. I think every child is entitled to develop his ability along the aptitudes which God has given him."

Mr. Thompson said the Federal Government had begun about 30 years ago to institute measures which would give some vocational train- ing tc the young men of the country. Then, when the depression began to make itself felt, the Federal Government entered into an agreement with the Provinces under which a broader and more comprehensive system of vocational training was instituted. ' ‘ Prince Edward Island, Mr. Thompson said. received annual grants from the Federal Govern- ment for vocational training a- mounting to 025,700. Those grants were to continue for six more years. The Federal Government had granted Prince Edward island, $82,- 500 for the erection of a vocational training school in Charlottetown. The 000,000. ear-marked for the construction of the building, had been spent. but the remainder, which was for the purchase of equipment, had not been used.

Composite Schools

Mr. ‘Thompson said he had had

occasion during his recent visit lo New Brunswick to see some of the composite schools. He had seen those in Southampton, Salisbury. and Port Elgin. Tile latter school had about 300 pupils who were brought there by busses from a radius of between 15 and 2o miles. Those schools were a tremendous improvement on the previous institutions and were giving to rural children, for the first time in their lives, an opportunity to avail themselves of modern educat- ional facilities. Dr. L. W. Shaw. Deputy Minister of Education, who introduced lVir. Thompson. said people were giving consideration to the idea of erect- ing composite schools which would be a marked improvement over the present schools in the Pro- vmce.

In the meantime, Provincial Government grants. Dr. Shaw said, are "producing gratifying results in the rural schools." Nearly 200 schools have been improved and 12 new ones built.

The teacher situation In the Province was improving but had not yet reached a satisfactory standard. Only four schools are closed which should be in Oper- ation. but many other; "are not staffed with the kind of teachers we would like to have."

The Provincial department, Dr. Shaw said, was thinking of “mak- ing certain changes in the curriculum." Some text books were not available and others were not equally appropriate for students in Grade 6 and Grade 10. 'I'he most difficult material. for instance, in Nelson's Geography was at the beginning of the book and it was unreasonable to expect that young children should be able to profit by the study of such material. The purpose of education, Dr. Shaw said, was‘ to enable the student to earn s living and to serve the community. "We are led to give some thought." Dr. Shaw ssid. "to what some of us think as vocational education and academic education. I cannot dis- tinguish between them. Together, they develop the whole man. body. soul and spirit."

Mrs. W. E. Scantlebury presided at last night's meeting which was sponsored by the School Improve- ment League.

Blood Donor illinii: Results (lratifying

The three~day Red Cross blood donor clinic concluded in the Prov- ince yesterday, having received blood from 350 donors at Charlotte- town and Summerslde. Though this number fails below the 400 objec- tive set. it is regarded as a highly satisfactory beginning of the new service. The work VIE! very effl- cientiy handled by the mobile unit from the Maritime Blood Trans- fusion Depot at Halifax. assisted by members of the Charlottetown Red Cross Corps and Red Cross staff. The facilities in the Clover Club at the Canadian Legion proved to be all that could be desired. and much appreciation is also expressed for the service of members of the ladies‘ auxiliary of the Legion wh-i gave vuluabla help. ,

The first supply of blood fror the Halifax depot for Prince Ed- ward Island will be flown here to- day. It is expected that the panel truck for transporting the blood to the various hospitals will reach here in a few days.

A R.C.A.F. Cunso aircraft yester- day picked up the blood taken the first two days and flew it to Hull- fax where it was "urgently needed‘ to replace depleted stocks. Plans had been mode to have the plani- pick up the blood the previous day but weather conditions were not favorable. Hereafter, it was learn- ed, Maritime Centrai Airways will fly the blood to Halifax 'free of charge.

Red Cross officials expressed ap- preciation of the WOIIC done by the Kiwanis Club here and the Y's Men's Club in Summerside in se- curing tlie names of donors.

If the committee had been in dead earnest, Truman ssid, i: would have taken the matter to

tion. He added sharply that ho has no intention of getting into the controversy arith whet he called this dead committee (A; now set up, the committee has a Republican majority. The Demo- crats take control of Congress in January and all committees will have a Democratic majority.)

But if Truman wanted no och- iroversy with the committee, its Republican members were quick to jump at it.

Representative Richard Nixon (Rep. Calif.) called the President's statement "a flagrant flouting of the national interests." He said Truman is "helping to keep the facts about the stealing of Amer- ica's top secrets by the Commun- ist; from the American people."

Nixon said last night that the grand jury. operating under the Justice Department. will indict Chambers for perjury and that this will make it impossible to net at pesons who worked with him "because the chief wltncss._ will be an indicted periuren"
