Starting Nearer Home

It will be fine if the Federal Gov- ernment can be persuaded to erect—. or assist materially in erecting—a - modern cultural centre, with audit- - orium and other facilities, as a Con- - federation memoria] in Charvotte- ‘town. We should, however, be able - to show what we are prepared to do ourselves in this connection.

\ All we have done, since the Market _ House fire, has been to make a park- " ing lot of the’site. Our public library, after the fire, was without heat for a long time. The Harris art gallery ‘above it—a generous gift to our citizens—has suffered for lack of a caretaker. We. still have no museum facilities, even of a temporary kind. The City has shown lamentable lack of interest in these matters.

We haven’t an adequate motion picture house in Charlottetown, let alone a theatre or concert hall fit for dramatic or musical entertain- ment. Those faithful souls who attend _ Community Concert Association re-

citals and the Shakesperian produc- tions that we have been favored with in récent years, are aware of the ~ physical-discomfort they have to en- _dure, on hard wooden chairs, packed in like sardines; of the acoustics that it would be ridiculous to call in-

adequate since they don’t exist at |

all; of the lack of a proper stage, and the flat gymnasium floors that make every attempt at seeing what goes on in front, beyond the first few rows of seats, a job for a contor- tionist.

We have wondered why no debate on these matters has taken place in the City Council; why our elected representatives weren’t as mad as we were at having to put up with such conditions, year after year, and why they haven’t done something about it.

We say this in sorrow. It is not pleasant to have to make such com- ments, but it would be dishonest to withhold them. We have in mind - such noble enterprises as the Strat- ford Theatre, and the vision that brought it into existence—not as a a money-making tourist venture or handout from Ottawa, but as some- thing the people of Stratford want- ed so badly that they worked and sacrificed for it. Federal aid came eventually, but community enter- prise came first, as it should do in every case.

Culture, like charity, begins at home. Indeed, it is the only kind of beginning that would be culturally profitable to us. How much do we care for these thines? Ottawa will want to know, and in concrete terms.

Attacks Legal Jargon “When a man gives you an orange, he simply says: ‘Have an orange’. But when the transaction is entrusted to a lawyer, he adopts this form: ‘I hereby give and convey to you, all and singular my estate and interest, right, title, claim ahd advantages of and in said orange, together with its rind,. skin, juice _- pulp and pips and all rights and ad- vantages therein with full power to bite, suck or otherwise eat the same _ or give the same away with or with. out the rind, skin, juice, pulp and _pips, anything hereinbefore or here- inafter or in any. other means, of whatever nature or kind whatsoever to the contrary in anywise notwith- standing.’. . . Then another lawyer comes along and takes the orange away from you.” This, of course, is something of g parody on legal jargon, but it was zited by Mr. Justice Riley, of the Alberta Supreme Court, to emphasize his argument on the need for re- form. Justice Riley is one of the mem- bers of the bar who believes the, language of the law should be stream- Jined to get rid of that which “is meither Greek, nor Latin, nor good h.” Robert C.

' ‘ © look not back nor tire. / —Robert Bridges. .

It is said that this is an age of scientific materialism, in which spirit- ual values—like the humanities in the educational curricula—are losing ground in the competitive struggle for existence. That struggle didn’t end with the development of techni- ques that enabled men to satisfy material wants; rather, the techni- ques created new wants in a never- ending chain of cause and effect,

until today, a motor car, a TV’ set, ©

and other once undreamed-of lux- uries are regarded, by an increasing number of people, as necessary ad- juncts to their existence.

The drive to acquire these things, and the time consumed in obtain- ing and enjoying them, undoubtedly tend to channel more and more of our energies into so-called practical pursuits. It is an age of distractions, of mass-production in culture as well as machinery, and too often of ‘com- placent self-satisfaction in the “pro- gress” we have thus made.

There is a great deal of truth in the complaints of those who see only this side of the picture of our modern civilization. But there is an- other side, and it is in evidence this month, in our own community, in

t activities of a quite different kind.

Last weekend we had the Hi-Y an- nual convention here in Charlotte- town, attended by young people from twelve different Maritime clubs, at which religious problems were dis- cussed and a series of inspiring meet-

ing_held over a period of three days.,

Next week, here and in Summerside, Roman Catholic youth rallies will be held and in _all Catholic parishes the week will. be observed with special religious . services. o

These movements, of different Christian faiths, have one thing in common—the emphasis on youth and on spiritual over material values: They are the only kind of movements that will provide the ideals that will “save this world from utter destruct- ion in the years to come. “Peaceful co-existence” won’t be enough; it was tried in pagan times and found want- ing. And it is heartening to note the response that youth is making to this higher appeal for Christian brotherhood.

“Almost everything that is great,” said Benjamin Disraeli, “has been done by youth.” Theirs is the vision, if they will but seize upon it, and dedicate themselves to it. Even if they fail in achieving all that they had hoped, the effort will be worth while. Very much so for them, and indeed for us all.

EDITORAL NOTES

The large increase in the popular vote for Liberals in the British elec- tion is being widely welcomed as evidence that that party has not, as many feared it would, disappeared from-:the political scene. The party has now set, as its immediate ob- jective, the replacement of Labor as the official Opposition. \

* - >

Field Marshal Montgomery has apologized for his pre-election remark that anyone voting Labor in the British election should be locked up in a lunatic. asylum. He said it was intended as a joke. That didn’t pre- vent angry Laborites from boycot- ting a dinner tendered him by the town council of Bolton. “An extreme- ly nice lunch,” Monty said in ac- knowledgiug a toast. “I hope the people who didn’t come will agree that they’re sorry they missed it.” That’s not likely to smooth ruffled

feathers, either.

With thet general provlem| did, until Mr. Starr began his easing, our “Minister of Employ- | big October drive to educate 1959 ment”’-is now able to turn his en- ,emoployers out of 1990 ideas.

The young hard-working, Mir- ister, wh@has not yet completed the first half-century of his de-

There has always been a reluc- tance to hire workers over 49 years of age, but I believe this widespread problem has worsen- ed. i

PIONEER NEEDS PAST

He deplored this baseless Nine- teenth Century prejudice, wich has operated too long again‘t Twentieth Century workers. In our pioneer days, our ancestors stumbled dangerously through a medical black-out in undomesti- cated discomfort. As recently as the turn of the century, the av-

dicated life, locked at me re- proachfully through his limpid| spaniel’s eyes.

“Every one of us who doesn’t die young becomes an clder| worker,” he explained patiert!y.

ergy and ideas to correct the} With a program of mailing per- long-standing prejudice agzinst| sonal letters to 40,000-employers, employing the older werker,| participating-in a series of radio

| talks, sponsoring widespread screenings of the special film, | "Date of Birth’, and keying up all National Employment Service offices to counsel both employ- lers and clder workers, Mr.. Starr has vigorously launched this campaign of re-education. ' To overlook the advantages of employing older workers is to squander a valuable human re- | source of Canada, in the Min-

the older worker has acquired skills and experience; he bcincs with him the fruits of costly on- the-job training; he requires less suporvision, has a ma‘ure respon- sidility and loyalty, and is less prone to accidents and absen- tecism.

What industries could not use older workers? I asked.

Only those labouring categories calling for unusual exertion. In most labouring jobs, the older man's gait enables his steady ef- 1 fort to out-produce the intermit-

ister’s belief. He points out that |

tent energy of the younger work- er. In the retail trade, by con- trast, the worker attains peak productivity at the age of 55.

OLDSTERS CAN HELP SELVES

The older workers can help ‘homselves surprisingly by scek- ing information and advice from .teiz local National Employment Service office. A talk on job op- portunities will nearly always siow them that they pos ess m2 - ketable abilities which they have not realized.

Mr. Starr was our. first Min- ister of Labour to correct the ‘misconception about our Unem- ployment Insurance Commission, a small nest which houses a more important cuckoo called the Na- tional Employment Service. The primary job of this double-ag-

in jobs; only when it fails in that does it relieve hardship by pay- ing unemployment insurance be- nefits.

Now Mr. Starr has come up with another commonsense idea, also evidently a welcome novelty to the long-frustrated staff of the Department of Labour. Eight years ago, when he was Mayor of Oshawa, he fitst appreciated how our older workers can make a valuable contribution in our in- dustrial age; now the lesson of Ozhawa has become the policy of Ottawa.

For the priceless benefit of feel- ing’ that they are still valuable and self-supporting citizens, and “not discarded has-beens, many of our over-40 workers of tcday, and also those who will be over- 40 twenty years hence, will have cause to thank Mike Starr, Can-

GDN ED — BRITISH CABINET

Whitehall’s game of musical chairs is in full swing as Prinn Minister Macmillan ponders im- pending changes in his cablaet.

Only one minor governinent change was dictated by Thurs- day’s gencral election — replace- ment of Nixon Browne, an unac1- secretary of state for Scotland who lost his seat But it is gen- erally accepted that the changes will not stop there.

The manifesto on which Mac- miilan fought and won his elec- teral victory pledged addition of a minister of science to the cz- inet. He is likely to be drawn from its existing members, win Defence Minister Duncan Sandys frequently mentioned as a pws- sible choice.

Unmentioned in the manifesto but a source of considerable speculaticn-was the possibility that Macmillan plans to split the precent portfolio of tran:port end givil aviation in. order to give a minister full-time charge of the aircraft industry.

Meanwhile there were reports of otfier changes. Apart from Macmillan himself, only ,Foreiga Secretary Selwyn Lloyd and Der- ick Heathcoat Amory, chancellor of the exchequer, were generally accepted as immune Pyne sible moves. é

SUMMIT CONSIDERATIONS

mory, who tcok over at the treasury less than two ycars ag, has come in for litile criticism. Lloyd, although much criticized ever since the 1955 Suez crisis; is seen as indispensable in ne- gotiations toward a summit con- ference, :

Colonial Secretary Alan Lennox- Boyd, another minister frequently under fire, is one cabinet mem- ber whose retirement has been frequenily predicted. Lénnox- Boyd, 58, has held the arduous portfolio for five years and has recently suffered from il] healih.

Although* he is given much of the credit for the promotion of Ghara and Malaya to Common- wealth status, his replacement ‘would give Macmillan opportu- nity to re - €xamine colonia! policies in Africa, particularly in Kenya and Nyasaland, whete cor- stituti@nal talks have run into dif- ficulty.
