conservative Nominations

As anticipated, Messrs. W. Chester S.. . .

to exhibit before. Angus MacLean were re- nominated as Conservative candidates for

McLure and J.

Queenis in the next federal election. The sitting memberst names were the only ones presented to the convention. Mr. McLure is a veteran in public life and Mr. MacLean has shown both ability and conscientious- ness in the discharge of his duties at the last session of Parliament. They are both to be congratulated on their rcnomination last evening.

The Liberal candidates, Messrs. Miller and Neil Matheson,

may be held early next spring. But in any case, it is good political strategy to have the candidates early in the field. It enables them to contact the electorate and to do a considerable amount of organizational work before the campaign gets under way. In the case of the Queens Conservative candi- dates, and of Mr. MacNaught, they will re- quire shortly to be in their seats at Ottawa. with a. fresh mandate from their party

supporters, they can return reinvigorated

to their onerous parliamentary duties

Young Canada's Blink Week

To non-readers, poor souls, it may seem that reading is a solitary vice but prob- ably the greatest joy in reading is that of sharing experiences with others. During Young Canada's Book Week which begins today it would be an enchanting exper-

ience for many parents to share a book istmtion 0,. the congress and thus

with their youngsters. They can open up new worlds tp little boys and girls and at the same time strengthen the ties with loved ones by the shared experiences.

There is a bond, too, betwen boys who are familiar with a common hero and be- tween girls who all know and are intensely concerned about the happiness of heroines of fiction. Reading expands the opportun- ities for social activity rather than other- wise so that the bookworm is no more the typical reader than the muscle-bound strong man is the typical athlete.

The Canadian Library Association. whose nationalacommittee is represented here by Miss Dorothy Cullen of the Prince Edward Island Libraries, is making an of- fort to encourage lnore reading of more

worthwhile books by more children at home, at school and at the library. The Association has published a useful little

check list of "Young Canada's Favourite, Books" which contains reading suggestions for children 2-5; 6-8; 8-10; and 11-14 years. It is, of course. most inadequate but any child who is given a taste of the books list- ed will almost certainly take steps to ex- plore furthcr in the world of books.

What has been gained by the prolong- ed struggle in Korea? Many people are asking this question. and perhaps one of the best answers was given the other day by Dr. Ralph Bunche, Director of the Un- lied Nations Trusteeship Division. Speaking at Maedonald College, Dr. Bunche termed the Korean War ".thc greatest failure of the United Nations," because it. is only in Korea that the world body has been un- able to prevent war or to halt it, once it started. But in another sense, he pointed out,-"tit is also an outstanding success." For in Korea, aggression was met by Un- lted Nations forcesiacting in unison on United Nations orders, though voluntarily supplied by United Nations members.

The dream of a."world police force" un- der a world directorship has thus been brought near to reality. And aggression has been made costly and futile, for the aggres- sor in Korea has not only paid at terrible price for his invasion but has been denied the fruits he sought to gain from it.

Though Korea may be the most salutary example of U. N. problems,,the principles involved apply to all the work the world organization hop sought to accomplish. considering the task: it has set out for it-

i no progress has been slow. But con-

that its projects have to cover all the vast differences of race and history and govern- ment and geography and climate and econ- omlcs that are represented in tile world- bcfore they can be accepted. That is why United Nations deliberations require morn patience than statesmen have been asked But that is the very reason why it is all the more important that they do exhibit such patience. The

Some wags wrote a challen e to him in Charlottetown, signed 'P.

The pedestrian could not conceal his joy at the apparent good for- tune. and at the unexpected mn- turlng of his plans. telling his friends in Charlottetown that he had tntruck liq at last'.
