CIRCULATION ' "Coven Prince Edward Island like the dew"

"Tho strongest memory is weaker than the weakest ink".

CHABIDTTETOWN TUESDAY. NOV. 10, I953 lio Time To Let llp

It will come as a disappointment to those interested in the swine breeding industry in this Province that Prince Edward Island will not be represented in the competition this year for the Todd and Brethour Tro- phies at the Royal Winter Fair. During the past five years Island entries took an increasing proportion of top placings until last year Island entries made an almost complete sweep.

That increasing dominance in competi- tion was reflected in widespread interest in breeding: stock from this Province, so that tlii'oiigl1oLit this country and the Un- lied States breeders sought for our York- sliires as a foundation for their own herds; That reputation was gained by enthusias- tic following of the lead provided by Mr. H. W. Clay of the Federal Department of Agriculture and by the confidence of farm- ers that if they could produce a good en- ough product there would certainly be a market.

A year ago, unfortunately, warnings were being sounded on every hand about the removal of price support at year's end and the dire straits that swine producers would be in when that took place. No such misfortune occurred. In fact prices went up rather than down when the support price was abandoned. Those who remained in quantity production have a paying busi- ness.

There is too much of the "in again, out again” attitude towards swine breeding, helped no doubt by the fact that it is pos- sible to build up herds much more rapidly than is the case with cattle. Cold figures have shown, however, that a consistent policy is a profitable one. Farmers can make money by maintaining a steady sup- ply of good quality Yorkshires but they cannot build up any important demand If the supply is widely variable.

Energy And Prosperity

The whole concept of energy, whether as motive power or fuel, has undergone drastic changes within the memory of the greater part of the population. The term "horse power", first used by James Watt in the 18th century, has lost its original significance for 0. generation to whom ll tractor is a more familiar sight than a horse. The water mill of antiquity used the same natural force as the hydro-elec- tric turbine of today, but the application of advanced technical knowledge has so multiplied its effectiveness as to all but obliterate any resemblance between the two.

Our physical standard of living, points out the Canadian Bank of Commerce com- 'mercial letter, is gauged to an increasing extent by the efficiency with,which the pulling of a switch or a lever, or the pres- sing of a push button is translated into the desired amount of heat, light or motive power. Within a period of little more than a quarter of a century, 1926-52, the total energy used, excluding that derived from wood, has risen from 1,031,635 billion Brit- ish thermal units to 2,409,115 billion, or by 133 per cent. During the same period the population rose by close to 50 per cent, so that per capita consumption increased by more than 55 per cent. It living standards can be said to be mathematically measur- able, lt is probable that they have risen to an approximate degree. This rate of en- ergy consumption is among the highest in the world, partly because of the relative severity of the climate-about 28 per cent of the total, including an approximation for wood”, is estimated to have been con- sumed In keeping warm in 1952, which was a mild winter-and partly because the readily available resources, either domestic or imported, were in most cases abundant.

Anpccompanying chart indicates clearly the close relationship between the total use of energy and the general level of economic activity: the steady rise in the PPHl9' prejjlon years 1926-29. the sharp drop to 1935, the revival to 1937, and the reces- ,m, of 1933, the steady climb until 1945 whai the declining war-time production had not yet been replaced by reconstruc- tion; the iharp advance of the early post- mr period until thelsllght recession, of 1949; and the subsequent resumption of

the rise at an accelerated rate up to 1952.

rpm ghjfting importance of the various . ,. u. is hardly less remarkable than

At the be-

source of energy, 82 per cent, with petrol- eum (12.3 per cent), natural gas (2 per cent), and water power (3.7 per cent) sup- plying the balance. By 1952 cool was still the largest single source with just over 45 per cent, but was being rapidly overtaken by petroleum with just under 42 per cent, while water power had risen to 9 per cent and naturalpgas to just over 4 per cent.

The fledgling Social Credit Govern- ment of British Columbia will shortly un- dergo its first trial of strength since it won a general election last June. In Victoria, the provincial capital, on November 24 Mr.

seek a seat in the Legislature. He was defeated in the general election in 3. Vic- toria suburb and now has moved into the city, after the convenient resignation of an elected Social Crediter.

Premier Bennett, notes the Winnipeg Free Press, has publicly predicted that Mr. Gunderson, his right-hand man, will re- ceive the largest majority ever polled in Victoria. But it is indicated that the C. C. F., the official Opposition in the Legis- lature, the Liberal and the Conservative Parties intend to make a strong f-ight to defeat Mr. Gunderson and thus to strike a blow at the Government.

Their difficulties have been greatly in- creased by the recent abolition of the alternative vote, used in the general elec- tion. It was this form of voting which defeated Mr. Gunderson who, on the count of first-choice ballots of Oak Bay, receiv- ed more than any opponent. As he did not receive a majority of all ballots the second and third choices were counted and a Liberal, Mr. Archie Gibbs, was declared elected. .

Mr. Bennett has made sure that this will not happen again by suddenly asking the Legislature to abolish alternative vot- ing and re-establish the old system. This the Legislature has done. With three op- ponents dividing the anti-Government bal- lots Mr. Gunderson could thus win in Vic- toria on a. small minority vote and his chances seem good.

"IN REMEMBR ANCE"

Sir,- Remembrance Day this year will mark the 35th anniversary of the signing of the Armistice which ended World War I. In each succeeding year since 1913, Canadians have paused at 11 AM. on November 11th., to remember those of more than 100.000 men who died in Two world Wars and t-he Korean War as well.

In the intervening years numer- ous monuments have been erected throughout this Dominion to the memory of our heroic dead. On this Memorial day not only is the Remembrance Day services at- tended by thousands of people of all walks of life, all apparently devout, all commemorating the I'n'?ll who lost. their lives in the wars, but, at 11 o'clock on Remem- brance morning as if by common consent throughout the entire Nation, in transportation sctlvi- tlel. in industrial enterprises. in the shops, on the streets, every- where are activities ceased for the short space of two minutes.

'ro my mind it is not a. day of joy or chcerfulness but of sacred memory on the part of those who lost relatives or friends in the wan. I think it is a sacred day when we gather to-gethcr around our War memorials across the country, we no thankful of the cessation of hostilities. Remem- b Day sounds very well and implies all that we wish to re- member and perpetuate. we know that it commemorates the occasion of hostilities. We cannot: drive Rememhrnnce from our minds it we would.

The years may pass and pass they do. steadllv and all too quietly but, the fleeting time must not dim the recollections of those inspiring chapters written into the history of our Dominion nor the memory of those gallant men. What more sacred duty is (hero than Remembrance, solemnly and sincerely expressed of those im- mortal heroes whose sacrifice en- sured for all of us our freedom and independence of our glorious country.

Therefore. the wearing of the poppies and the laying of wreaths at Cenotaph: across the Nation on Rememb ance Diiy recalls their spirit and gives new inspiration for service to their country, they sewed so heroically and it is most surely of comfort and encourriIre- ment to those presently serving to knnw that devotion and sacri- fice me not lightly forgotten by the citizens of this Dominion.

so we, within the silence 'o'. Rememb nTlCE Day will offer tri- bute of indebtedness and praiseti them whom we owe so much and pledge ourselves to safeguard and not to loose what they have won.

If Remembrance is to be sacred at all bhen it must be per- sonal and on this Remcinbrancc Day as the last stroke peels from the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill on this November 11th., I shall be happy to place a wreath at the base of the Nat- ional War Memorial here in Ot- tawa in remembrance of the young men from my native Prov- ince, Prince Edward Island who so gsllsntly and willingly made the supreme sacrifice and who brought honor and glory to their Province and Country.

A few Sundays ago, the son. gregation of st. Columbia church. Invei-ness. Scotland, were in the middle of a hymn and were start.-

banged his fist oh the pulpit and told them to stop singing. The con- gregation faltered into silence: the organ and the choir stopped. Then the minister, the Rev. Robert Men- zies, D.D.. looked at the choir and congregation and said: "Surely you don't. call that praise?" He told them to put some life into their singing. A hymn, he pointed out, is not ii sheet of words to be re- peated to a background of organ music. "You must live the words," he said. The congregation started to sing again. What a difference! It seemed as if twice as many people were singing as before. It really sounded like a. hymn of praise.-St. Thomas Times-Joumal.

led when the minister suddenly

Prime Minister Lolill I. St. Laurent hlnu the time will come when more competition will be al- lowed between Iir lines in Canada. This will be when there is suffici- ent traffic so competition will not be detrimental. He probably has in mind the experience in rail- way building, which was disastr- ous in that several lines went bankrupt. Canada is being in- creasingly well served and the rapid development of the publicly- nwncd Trans-Canada Air Lines is due in no small measure .to it having s clear field on main lines. Traffic in the earlier days cer- tainly wasn't sufficient for com- peting llnes offering the standards of service which have prevailed. Probability is that competing lines. if they had attempted to provide such service, would have been losing propositions,-Windsor Daily Star.

or three hours of the vigil were occupied chiefly in divers corn-

plsints on the part of B and sundry admonition: on the part. of A. - Meanwhile, C. contented

himself with s matter-of-fact. sp- prnissl of the situation. "It could be better and it could be worse," he said "And we must make the best of it."

This led one of the others to recall that I-lillslre Belloc, the distinguished essayist who died only recently, always wrote by candlelight. Neither of these observations had the effect of making a dark room light, but each contributed s little bit of splritiisl illumination which was helpful. 0 0

Lying on a spring with no mat- tress would hsrdly be considered as luxury by any standards. How- ever, it is better than lying yon the floor and comfort, like si lot of other things in this life, is a relative term. And there is some consolation in the knowledge that sleep does not wait upon luxury. It is as democratic an in-

stltution as any that has yet been devised. Understnndsbly enough. the

"talk of the nigh" began with various references to sleep which is one of the things that science has not yet been able to define In wholly msterlnl terms. Among them was De Cervantes eulogy: "Now blessings light on him who first invented sleep. It covers I. man, all over, thoughts and all, like s clock. It is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the , hot."

A word about Boughten Is- land itself. This is one of the historically important spots in the Province. Many generations of hard-working and honest peo- ple cslled it home. Now it has been abandoned and there is I touch of sadness in its forlorn and waste places. Houses which once echoed the nolsiness and laughter; of children, and which were the centre-pieces of life with its alternate lights and shadows, are now fslllng npldly into decay. Once fertile land will soon be wilderness. There is de- solation on every side.

Certainly no one would blame the last remaining residents for evacuating the island, uid it may be assumed that they did so re- luctantly and only under pres- sure of physical difficulties which seemed to have no other solution. Nevertheless, it seems a pity that successive governments have not seen their way clear to devise same plan whereby the little island community might have been given such transpor- tation facilities as would have made Abandonment of their homes unnecessary.
