Reading Matter For Our Sailors

A new line of work is being organized l1y the Iloy Scouts .\ssoci.'llit1t1 of Prince lidivurd Is- land. The inaiu object iu the training of Scouts. of course. is the ilevclopment of character and physique. Now they tire to have an opportunity to work for the benefit of others and thus sl1o1v the result of their own training. The 5811011 0f the Roval and I\'o_v.'1l Canadian Navy based 0n llalifztx. spend lllttft‘ than three quarters of their time at seal 'l‘l1cii"s is an arduous and dglugcrotls task. Living as they do in cramped quarters, there is no opportunity for amusement or recreation in their watch below. Reading matter couseqi1:-i1il_v is a great boon to them. For this purpose the Island Scouts are under- taking the task of keeping the lads at sea sup- plied with an ziinple supply of illustrated papers, periodicals, niugztziues and fiction of all var- icties.

For the present the plan is for the Boy Scouts to mgtkc a lmllSC in liiiiisC COllﬁCtiOtl CVCFY 1W0 weeks, thc actual dates to be announced from time to time. .»'\ll collections will be taken to (iroup Headquarters. and then they will be packed iii cartons and forwarded t0 Ilalifax‘. .\rrangeinei1ts are being made with the Cana- dian National Railways to have all cartons car- ried free.

The Bacon Problem

Speaking last week" at the annual meeting of the Sunnnersidc Board of Trade, l\lr. Rand ll. Mathesou, manager of the Transportation Com- mission of the hlaritime Board of 'I‘radc, stress- ed two as yet unsolved problems facing Mari- time farmers iii producing under the Bacon Trade Agreement with the Linitcd Kingdom. One is the question of freight rates on grain and grain products. The precedents established l1y the Board of Transport Commissioners in the matter of grain rates, he stated, were such that representations in ctniiieclion with the present

situation lllll not offer much hope of obtaining a motlificrlittu in the present rates. Yet this is an essential fnctoi- in the problem of profitable production.

Moreover, if freight rates were reduced, an- other l|llv~ilttll Ilflstfs, \\'hat assurances are there that priczs of fcctl would not continue to rise, thus obviating any alleviation that might be ob-

tained from that end? (hi the other hand, if prices on f/ccd-tulfs were “peggcd" as is the bacon price. what assurance was there that the

freight ivouli not be further iticrrased uuditr 1 . " roiitliiioits 211111 circumstances? Tilicreforr any representations in connection

witli tc-i11pt1r:1r_v zissistzitice t0 the p csent [ﬂight would nppcflt‘ in require a fusion o both prices and rail rates.

lt was SiIQQgslLWl that the three hlaritime gowriiiciits should unite in milking representa- tions to flttaiva with the vieiv of obtaining assistance to hlziriiimc farmers in this connec- tion. hlr. hlzttliesttn referred to the Provisional Order, No. H131, passed by the British Gov- ernnicnt on Sept. 3, 111351, fixing the price n11 feed stuffs on jhe basis of the preceding week as an assistance 1o the livestock‘ producers in the United Kiug-ltnn. Similar action might prove beneficial in this coilntr/v, as a temporary 111eas- tire until hlarilimc farmers were in a position to supplement their own livestock feed.

Canada's feed-grain production last year was the largest since i930, yet the farmers of the lllarifiuic Provinces have had the experience of pttviug higher prices this year than for several seasons past. The situation is. to say the least, an anomalous out‘, auil may result, if not rem- edied, in driving Maritime farmers out of bacon production altogether at a tinte when there is a practically unlimited demand at fixed prices in the British market. 'l'his would be doubly unfortunate. because Canada is already being flooded with United States pork. Nearly 25,- 000,000 pounds were imported last year, and marketing experts in Central Canada forecast a record movement of hogs from the United States to ('.'1i1.'1d:1 in 1940. lllillfeed price and freight-rate obstacles facing lllarilinie farmers

The RS4 Hﬂckle or The Black Watch i

(Fred Williams 1n the Globe and kill)

l

It ts not. generally known that the Black Watch or Royal l-Itzhlmd Regunent 1a mo oldest Highland regunent tn the British army. Its origin must be bought. almost exactly two hundred yearn :30, tn ttie troublesome time: In Scotland which followed me overthrow of the Stuarts and the comm: of flu Hiinovarian succession. The mayor- ity of the Highland clans were lJaoobites and favored the 51mm cause. but some of the chiefs were loyal to the new regime. and mo Government. Ln London devtaed a method of utllmng the loyal clans as soldiers to watch the disaffected.

Thus bevween the year; 1725 and 1729, slX independent companies of Highlanders were raised to watch the Htgnlands and keep the peace in dlttemnf. parts of the country. These companies adopted a blue, clack and green tartan, which gave them a dark and sombre appear- ance when compared with the -brlgfit scarlet o! the English regi- ments of the line. Hence the famil- far name of Am Freloeaqoan Dunn -Tne Black Watch.

So successful were ‘base compa-

nies that a royal warrant. dated 25th October. 1739, was Issued m form a. :eg1ment from the independ- ent. companies of the Black Wapcn. Four new companies were raised, and in May i740, the Whole were mustered and embodted into a regi- ment over 1.100 strong in a field at Aberteldy 1n the County of Perth, under the title of the Highland Regtment. but they stfl retained the name The Black Watch. It was not until 1751, when a royal warrant conferred numerical titles on the regiments of the llric, that The Bfack Wabuh received the number "42nd." which has since been almost as ramcu-s as me more familiar name,

Baptlsm of Fire at mntenoy.

The Black Watch received their baptism of fire at the fiercely con- tested battle of Fontenoy tn 1745, fought. by the British against the Branch. It ts more than a strange coincidence that when the Great Nar ended on Armistice Day, 191B, patrols of the 42nd Black Watch were crossing the same field of Fonieiioy.

After a few years the seven Years‘ War broke out in the North Ameri- oan Continent and the Black Watch were ordered there. Plre regiment made a great. name for Itself at the Battle of Tloonderoga, more than one-half of the men and two-thirds of the officers were either killed or ivounded. Ticonderoga Day is kept in remembrance by SCOI/EIIIGD in the (limited States and Canada to the

at’.

The regiment afso took part tn the capture of Montreal and the sur- render 0'1‘ Canada by the French. More than 150 years later Scots- men and their descendants from Canada sent. three battalions of Canadi n Black Watch to France in the Great War.

The regiment. also took part ln the American Rebellion. and then went to India. t.o quell native rtslngs. About; this ttme, 1787, Arthur Wel- lesley, afterward the great Duke of Wellington, obtained his commis- sion ln the Black Watcl;

“WHY THE RED HACKLE?"

The next campaign was in Flim- rlers. 1794-5. On Jan. 5. 1795, an 1n- cident happened which gave to the Black Watch their famous red hackle plume WhlCll ls worn in the bean-dress. At the Village of Geld- ennalsan two ftelu guns were sta- tioned oufslcle the village to cover the retirement of the ptquets. ‘Three guns were abandoned by a detach- ment of the British Llght. Dragoons and as the French were hauling them off as a prune. the Black Watch were ordered to retake them. This the regiment dld successfully, and the general officer command- ing the British forces was so 1m- pre=sed with the bravery shown that he took the red vulture plume from the helmet of the officer Cfimmﬂﬂdlng the Dru-Boom and put lt tn me feather hat. of the Black Watch commanding officer. saying: “42nd, the lLt-h Light; Dragoons shall never wear the red plume tn their helmet any more and I hope the 42nd will carry it so 1on1 as they B79 the Black Watch."

In the Napoleonic War the regi- ment. took part tn the Battle of Qnatre Bras and Waterloo. Some

years later an incident tiaippened

which ts worth recording, A troop ~ hip called the Btrloenheim was 00n- veylng troops to South Allies tor the Kafflr wars, when lt struck a rock and was sfnlrfhg. The women and children were safely taken off and the soldiers stood to atvantidn as the ship went. down. 0f five him- dred troops three hundred and titty- seven 'were drowned and the Black Watch had the largest number of deaths of any regiment aboard. S0 great. was the sensation caused by the discipline displayed 0n this oc- casion that the Efmperor William 1st of Germany ordered an account of the incident to be read to every regiment in liLs army on three parades.

The regiment also took part 111mg Crimea War and the Boer War. When the Great War broke out. tn 1914 there were seven battalions and when it ended ln 1918 there were twenty-five battalions.

(New York Herald Tribune) Hts shopworn magic must sure- 1y be losing something of its power at home. Abroad, what Hitler says has ceased to count. He may or may not be on the point. of launching war at once upon the West. but. no one wlll take his 1m- nouncement. of its Immlnence as 0f any eque in itself. At. his last public appearance, in Mirn- lch. he breathed virtually the same thzeatF"we wlll now speak to the British ln the language they best understand"—and some were still naive enough to regard it. as a sig- nal of the storm. But that. was nearly three months ago.

A Hitler speech ls not. intended for the communication of ideas. It ls a. weapon in the war o! nerves an exercise upon ignorant. emotions. a. calculated play upon whatever passions the great man believes that he can arouse and wlll be of use to hlm. what lt says ls unim- portant. What lt does ts the only thing of interest about lt. And by that test, which ls the only one its author himself applies, the Hitler- ltm oratory has not, since the be- ginning of the war. been notably successful.

One can only guess, both from the slfences and strljencles of the Fuehrer, that it. ls tending to lose ltspoteucy with the Germans. 'I‘hat'. guess may be wrong. But. it 1s quite clear that in France and Great Brltutn It has produced the very opposite of the calculated ef- fect.

Rallies And Broadcasts

(Halifax Chronicle)

A reader. commenting on B. rec- ent, editorial dealing with political broadcasts, asks why such broad- casts are not. more popular. Poll- tlcal meetings tn this province, the reader points out, have always cre- ated interest. It ls a common oc- currence for a political rally to overflow a. rlnk or other large bulldlng. If Nova Scotlans would flock to such olltlcal affairs, why do they aocep cheerfully a lesser porttotzi of polltl". on the radio?

The answer ls fairly evident. The political broadcast offers nothing but. the statements of one speaker. A political rally offers much more besides. A broadcast consists simply of the unconcerned remarks of one party spokesman, wlthout. beneﬁt. of bands, cheering, or any of the trimmings that. make for the spectacular. This ls especially true of the coming campaign. No pub 1c meetings may be broadcast. The only political address the radio lls- teners will hear wlll be addresses dellvered tn a studio. relylng solely on the logic and oratory of the speaker to make their effect.

‘This ls a for cry from the attrac- tions of the old-fashloned political rally, The political mas; meet- ings offers an opportunity for every- body ln the district to see and lira:- one of the country's notables, sup- ported by a cast of lesser lights. It. ls 1m occasion for social Intercourse since the gathering brings together old friends from all parts of the district. It ls a spectacle with the vast. crowd. the band playing, and the thunderous applause.

The political rally Induces a good deal of excitement. There ls n. thrill in attending, Just to sense the at.- mtxsphere.

It ls well nlizh impossible to de- velop comparable excttement over the dellvcry of a. racllo address.

By royal request, Kln George Queen Elizabeth, Queen ary and the Princesses have been placed on rations, “exactly like the rest. of the United Kingdom's population," to use the words of our London corres- ndent, as given in yesterday's bpectator. This ls sufficient proof ot the adequacy of the official al- lowance of sugar, butter, paeon and ham er citizen. The British Food Minis ry has seen to tt that there ls no chalice of imybodys health suf- fering because of the limitations; ln fact, ll: ls still osslble to eat much more than ls a vlsuble.

The maximum quantity of sugar per person each week ls set at tweye ounces; butter, four ounces. In nddl- tlon there Li; a wide choice of alter- native foods. It ls said that: the new brand of margarine ls equal to but- ter in nutrttlve value and lndls- tinguishable from lt tn taste. Added vlfamtnes and other qualities have even won 1t. a. preference for some

consumers. There are extra allowances for special purposes. For instance,

housewives are supplied with addi- tional sugar for cunning their fruit.
