The Premier's Statement

A matter of prime significance in connection with the proposed Northumberland Strait causeway was revealed in the Legislature by Premier.vMatheson'yesterday when he said that the suggestion origin- ated, not with the Govcrninent here or with our Liberal representative for Queen's, but with the Federal Minister of Public Works, Hon.. Mr. Winters. It was he who proposed that the Provincial Government make inquiries into the matter and tiecide wh'ether they would press for such a project in the event of it being feasible. And the farther the Provincial Government went into the matter, the more they were con- vinced that the project wasAby"no means I "pipe dream" but one that might very well become a reality, and would be of tremendous benefit In meeting our future transporta-

- tion requirements. The Premier dealt fully with the criticism against the scheme, as well uwith the counter-proposal fdr I tunnel, which preliminary in- quiries showed would be much more costly, both in construction and up- keep. He said that pending full in- vgstigation. the Government had an open mind on the subject and would accept any project--tunnel, cause- way or bridge-which would meet it h e demands for transportation that we will shortly be faced with at; thepresent rate of motor'traffic ihkzrease. It is not necessary to underline his statements further, as reported in today's issue. He has shown why we must build for the fixture, and why it is necessary to work in harmony and cooperation. He intimated that a resolution would likely be introduced later in the session dealing wit-h the cause- way project, and- it could be dis- cussed freely in committee in the light of the information he has given. His speech appears to have made a strong impression upon the House, as we believe it will upon the public generally when they have studied its implications.

p;gD3ylighl Time Proposed

I", The City Council has urged that daylight saving time be introduced throughout the Province from late June until September. It was con- ceded that. daylight time is definite- ly not satisfactory during the hay- maklng season, and the Council's resolution has been worded to avoid this disadvantage. If this resolution ls.concurrod in by the other muni- cipalities and presented in proper form, it may appeal to rural mem- bers of the House as a reasonable compromise. In any case, it is the only proper way in which to obtain consideration, and it. should have been done long ago before the muni- cipalities took the law into their own hands. against the warning of the then Attorney General who ap- pealed publicly for support of the legislation on the statute books.

We believe that uniform daylight time. provided it can he introduced wlithnut undue inconvenience to our farmers, has many advantages and is certainly very much desired in urban communities. But we have al-

;ways regarded the attitude of the ' municipalities in disregarding the Uniform Time Act as entirely wrong in principle, not to speak of the con- ,7 fusion it has caused by introducing t two systems of time ill the Province.

Act forecast In the Speech from the Throne, when they should have come voluntarily, with all the argu- ments at their co nnand, before ever undertaking the course they have followed during the past two summers. If voted down at first, they should have campaigned in their cause more diligently than I ever, openly and above board, by every legitimate means seeking to win over opponents to their sche no, and bringing the issue out into the open In the last election campaign in every community where daylight lime St'flill"nCl'It was strong. instead. tin-y followed a course which has t-uusml bitterness and resentment in our farnilng communities. and pre- ' jutlircd their case to ah extent which xx as quite unnecessary. We sincerely lmpr: they have not prejudiced it for goml, for the change, as we have stated, appears to have many ad- valiiwgcs if it can be obtained with- out undue interference with the im- porfant activities of our rural com- tmunitio.-. That is what its propon- cnts must now prove. And it is for the Legislature to decide.

Mr. Drew's Suggestion

If Opposition leader Drew has

been quoted correctly,-surely he was speaking facetiously when he ad- vocatq a union of Progressiv-e-Con- serva es, C.C.F. and Social Credit factions for the sole purpose of "driving the present Govern nent out of office" in the next election. For one thing, in order to reach that objective all three parties would have to do a great deal better than they did in 1953. For another, Pro- gressive-Conservatives are not go- ing to be flattered by Mr. Drew's in- ference that their one political mis- sion is a negative one-the driving out of the Liberals, regardless of what compromises in the matter of Conservative policy might have to be tolerated in the process. Mr. Coldwell, C.C.F. leader. is just as anxious as Mr. Drew to see a change at Ottawa-a change in favour of the C.C.F., of course. .But he is not prepared to give up his political principles to help bring it about. In fact, if he had to choose between the Liberals and the Progressive- Conservatives, there is little doubt that he would choose the former. Nor is it likely that the head of the Social Creditors will take very kind- ly to Mr. Drewls suggestion. He certainly won't if his convictions run deep.

As the official Opposition, it is the business and the privilege of the Progressive-Conservatives, and es- pccially of their leader, to formulate a broad and comprehensive policy which will appeal sufficiently to voters to persuade them to entrust the Conservatives with the respon- sibilities of government. There may be many good reasons w h y a change of government at the ntcxt election would be a good thing for Canada. Before authorizing it, how- ever, all right thinking Canadians will want to be sure that one of the other parties is capable of forming a strong and stable government. Th 9 Progressive - Conservatives should have no difficulty in claiming that capability; but they will never prove it simply by enticing all dissi- dent groups to join hands and for- get everything but the desirability of getting rid of the Liberals.

THE TOURIST INDUSTRY

Sir.-it is significant that mem- bers taking part. in the Throne Speech debate in our Legislature have stressed the importance of the tourist industry. Mr. Maels- aac. in moving the address, had some interesting suggestions to offer and both Opposition Leader Bell and Premier Matheson gave considerable attention to this topic. This emphasis would seem altogether appropriate in a Prov- ince with such a limited range of industry. The tourist trade is an important industry and one which can be expanded to the better- ment of our Province.

Although there is considerable disagreement on how the fund was administered there is. I be- lieve. general approval of the government's action in pmaking loans for developing tourist ac- ('.,il.i.lllllEiil(ll'l, To foster and and the tourist industry should be, and indeed is. a sound investment.

Premier lllalheson was also on very sound ground when he stressed the importance of the personal cquation in the treat- ment of tourists. Courtesy and hospitality are not created by travel bulletins or advertising slogans but by friendly. efficient, kindly treatment of individual by individual.

There is yet another aspect 0! the tourist industry which is so important as to be obvious. The natural beauty of any region is perhaps its primary luurlst ai- lractinn and many people are brought to P.E.l..yca-r alter X031 because they enjoy its beautiful scenery and colorful landscapes. It in therefore of vital import- ance that the God-given beauty

sadly neglected is almost impos- sible to believe. 'he South Short- of Prince Etlunr island. on the lce-sirlc of pr ailing winds and distinguished V - brilliant colol and contour of bench and biull is a most pofmlpr place for the Miller. Viclorln, with its harbor, beaches and lovely riicr is un iqucly endowed to attract the weary traveller who wishes to vacation in a land of beauty and tranquility. ln tcomparisuu with great sums ill are spent by all governments in' use days of astronomical fig- 4fQs, the Imounl needed in build -I causeway in place of the cen- tury-old Victoria bridge should ',,not be too great. it would be I 'sound investment In the future development of the tourist indus- try of this Province. one of the few industries which imagination and effort can bring to a high level of uonomlc return. It should certainly not be left to the people of the district to agitate for this expenditure, because such matters are of Province-wide con- cern. and the tourist industry is of tremendous ' lficanre to Inyonc really interested in the well-bclng of this Province.

OTTAWA LETTER

The joint Senate and House of Commons committee on capital punishment will soon submit its report. This is the third consecut- ive year when it has been hear- ing witnesses and forming tits op- ininn on this subject.

The presentation of this contro- versial and no doubt far from un- animous report is likely to touch off a full dress debate in the Com- mons. in that debate, feelings will run high as M.Ps discuss whether the death penalty for convicted murderers should be abolished in Canada.

Two points are emerging which must impress any thinking person.

The first is the belief that. if murderers are to be executed, the actual method should be more ef- ficient than hanging. The comm- ittee has heard eye-witnesses des- cribe how it is sl w, uncertain and frequently repuls ve.

If execution is to remain the penalfy for wilfully causing the death of another person. the sec- ond poinl concerns that word ”wil- fully". g ',,

Our criminal law recognises only one degree of murder. An accused person is found either guilty or not lzuilty of gmurde . if guilty, the compulso y sentence is death. DEGREE 0F:.GUlLT

Peopl ' ,liaV'c been hanged in Canada or killing. when they were in fact at less guilty in motive and can t than others who have killgd W out over being accused of m fIDl'. in one notorious case, a magwho was engaged in a hold-

p 5 won and -fell, so that his P dcd gun accidentally went off. 7. e bullet happened to penetrate a partition. where it accidentally killed a person cntircly dlsassoc- fated with the hold-up. and in fact out of sight. lie was rxccuicd.

This extreme example has been quoted around here in support of the argument that our law should recognise degrees of murder. Of these. first degree murder would involve prcmcdiatatcd and deliber- atc slaying. or slaying incidental to the commission of another crime, That alone should attract the (tenth penalty. many people be- lieve. Lrsscr pcnallics should he imposcd fnr accidental or unpre- mcditatcd or what the French rail passion slnyiligs.

One point rather overlooked is the urgent need in make It a ser- inns crime In carry a loaded uun. Very low Canadians need to carry one with them about their lclzili- mntc daily business.

The Death Penalty Issue

day.'l would make unjustified poo- scssion of a revolver or pistol n crime punishable by life imprison- mcnt. This should be done before there is any talk of abolishing the death penalty.

The frequent discussions heard here on the subject of the death penalty are apt to end the same way. With a welldrilled rhetoric. many of the opponents of the death penalty invariably show their last trump card to be a quite specious appeal 14: our humanitarian in- stincls.

It is entirely valid to appeal to nnyone's feelings of lifts type. But this widespread virtue is a two- way street. And the argument falls very flat when it is pointed out that society does not exercise the alleged inhumanity of the death penalty, unless the person to be hanged has previously treated another human being with the same inhumanity. g

But there are die-llards who dis- agree with the Bibical adage of eye for an eye, Some of these are to be found among the opponents of the death penalty who are most vocal on this topic in Parliament.

These have recently derived

CIEAMED DISHES

Some of it can be used with cer- eIlI or in creamed vegetables. cream soups, pudding: and other cooked dishes. Ice cream and cheese are milk products and can be eaten several times I week.

Accustomed so most of you housewives are to handling milk. I think I Ilill might be able to give you I few tips about protect- ing it right in your own home.

For one thing. do not let milk stand on the porch in the bottle. If it is in a glass container, light destroys some of the vitamin B-2 or riboflavin content.

Keep it in the refrigerator when not in use.

When storing milk in the refrig- erator, keep it in the colder part- below 50 degrees.

It is probably I good idea to keep condensed nd dried milk in the refrigerator, too. I think you will find they keep longer this way.

Make sure that odorous foods such as onions. fish, cabbage. mel- ons and the like Ire stored in I distant section of the refrigerator.

One more thing; Do not pour leftover milk back into the bottle or carton. Use it for cooking. it does not cost much. but medical bill: do.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

P. J. C.: Could exercise be harmful for one ufferlng from hardening of the arteries?

Answer: Exercise in moderation probably would not be harmful for one suffering from hardening of the arteries. It would depend en- tirely upon tbe condition of the heart and the amount of lnrdenlu that has occurred.

Your physician. after careful ex- amination, will be able to tell you the exact Imouni of exercise you ought to take.

great encouragement from the rr port that the British House of Com- mons has just voted to abolish the death penalty.

The margin of that vote was no slim that it certainly cannot be regarded as decisive for that coun- try. And that vote has certainly not settled the battle of public op- lnions there.

One newspaper remarked with great. wisdom that criminals could now happily begin to all their guns. it seems that public ' ' is especially strong on this subject in British Columbia and in Quebec. These provinces will probably will fill the scale in favour of retain- ing the death penalty in Canada. But we are likely to see an and to hanging. with the gas chamber being substituted. And possibly I lesser sentence may be made op- tional for murders which Ire not of the first degree.
