by this Province during the past

year, and the still brighter prospects »

“for the present’ year and-for 1962,

are highlighted in our special edition today; and we doubt whether at any time in our past history has it been possible to assemble such an _ fmpressive array of facts and figures. They relate to almost every phase of the Island's activities, with particular emphasis on the new trends in agricultural production and marketing, on the phenomena! boom fn tourism, and on development in - the larger areas where the overall progress has been most: noticeable. ' In Charlottetown, for example, expenditure on new: structures last year was more than $5,000,000, and this year will see still greater pro- gress, particulary in the provision of housing accommodation which ‘was one of Mayor Gaudet’s election planks when he assumed office, and with regard to which a detailed sur- vey has been going on for the past

two years. Other projects of major

importance include the building df three new schools and the new $1,- 500,000 wharf for the federal de- partment of transport. | - Jn Summerside construction totalled nearly $3,000,000 last year, and the town has embarked on & new program that promises to set an even greater record during the present year. From other centres throughout the. province come ‘equally striking evidences of growth and development, which will be continued into the present ‘year, “giving assurance of added employ- ment and of greater stability to our - whole economy. ca For the building boom particu- larly which has been so evident in our municipalities, credit is due on all three levels of government— local, provincial and federal—for the co-operative efforts put forth ‘In the way of encouragement and financial assistance. This year, one of the.

We note, too, that effective April 1 the town planning division of the provincial department of in- dustry and natural resources will _hbe transferred to the department of municipal affairs, where the problems involved can be more ex- peditiously dealt with.

They be read in their entirety to the true picture—both of the ults achieved and of what the

ances wnicn at times nave emoitter- ed them on this seore. The need fur patience and understanding, he has argued, will pay off.

This is what happened in the six weeks of. debate, largely on colonial questions, which ended last Friday at the United Nations, and in which almost every Svviet pro- posal was voted down with the aid of the 51-country Afro-Asian bloc. Russia, for instance, tried to force a new Security Council meeting on the Congo but failed when these countries refused to back it on the ground that the U.N. acting secre- tary-general appeared to be having success in restoring order in the new African country. —

Last week most of the Afro- Asian countries bucked a Soviet proposal calling on Belgium to with- draw all its ‘troops from Ruanda- Urundi as soon as that U.N. trust territory received independence, probably in July. African delegates, fearing a repetition of the Congo chaos there, appeared to make every effort to work with the Belgian for- eign minister in an effort to bring about independence peacefully.

The Soviets also tried last week

to press for U.N. action on the-in--}~

dependence of British Guiana. India and 13 other countries decid-

view of a British statement that independence negotiations are scheduled for next May.

There is evidence here that the Afro-Asians are concerned over the Soviet Union’s active role in the colonial problem, and over the fact that it is using this problem as a device for launching cold war at- tacks on the Weat..

Summerside Election

Despite the midwinter season, it was a hot election in Summerside yesterday, resulting in the defeat of Mayor Currie and the three former Councillors who were in the running with him, Whatever the justifica- tion for this upset, it shows that the people of Summerside take their civic politics seriously. Over 70 per cent of the eligible voters turned out at the polls, following a campaign which generated an un- usual amount of heat as well: as light.

It was ‘an example of democracy at work, and of the surprise element which comes into play at: times in its manifestations, As Sir John A, Macdonald remarked, elections are as unpredictable as horse races; a comment which offers some consola- tion to the loosers without detract- ing from the achievement of the successful candidates in this case, to whom we tender congratulations.

The plan to replace the Ist Battalion of the Black Watch, serv- ing with the 4th Canadian Infantry _ Brigade Group in Germany, with the regiment’s 2nd battalion, stat- ioned at Camp Gagetown, N.B., was deferred last August because of the crisis over a divided Berlin. The rotation, involving some 1,500 troops, is now expected to be com- pleted by the end of March.

Action to suspend the process of sending dependents to Europe with Canadian servicemen was. warrant- ed late last summer. But since ten- . sions appear to have lessened there is good reason to reverse this move. As the Ottawa Citizen points out, past experience has shown that the murale of seryloe personnel is gen-

REPLY

Sinus infection in young chil- |

dren is rare; the condition is more common between the ages of four and 10. The exception is ethmoiditis, which may occur from birth on. The ethmoid, in

contrast to the other sinuses, is _

well developed in the newborn, hence is vulnerable to bacteria or allergy.

Space Race

By Joseph

The Soviet Union showed at ' the United Nations Monday it considers the military aspect important, if not all-important, in its space race with the United | States.

The romance of space travel— and the admiration for men who venture into the unknown— has tended so far to obscure the

frightening military implications |

of futuristic projects. Russia has proceeded with

vigor to capitalize on public ad- | ulation of its first two space who |

men, Gagarin and Titov, have undertaken cxtensive tours. Now that the U.S. has a
