Local Entorprisii At its lost

As will be noted in our advertising col- umns, an open invitation has been extend- ed to all our citizens to inspect, on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, the magnifi- cent premises and new equipment of Cen- tral Creamcries Ltd., the occasion being the official opening of the company's Concen- trated Milk Products Division. The opening of this new plant represents a great for- ward step in the interests of our dairy in- dustry, as it is one of the finest in Canada, and provides new and profitable outlets for one of our most important home industries.

Since its establishment thirty years ago by the late Mr. J. P. Simmonds, father of the present proprietors, Messrs. J. A. and P. M. Simmonds, this company has been progressively on the march. Its present venture is the most ambitious yet to be undertaken, involving not only a great deal of expense, but great optimism and vision in anticipating the trend in dah'y process- ing along the latest and most efficient lines. Too frequently we have had cause to com- plain of the lack of industries in this Prov- ince, but here we have one which is not only ideally adapted to local production, but owes its origin entirely'to local otter- prise and initiative. It is to be hoped that our citizens will take full advantage of the opportunity of inspecting the Cf3"t1'f” Creameries plant here this week, for it will be a revelation t9 many and a matter of great interest and educational value to all.

It has often been remarked that the naval man has more in common with his opposite number in other navies than with his own countrymen ashore. The sea tends to make similar demands upon those who would spend their lives on it and profes- sional knowledge is a common denominator

for seamen of any nationality. This char-

acteristic is especially applicable to the Royal Canadian Navy which has always been a most adaptable institution so far as co-operation with other navies is concern- ed.

From early days the R. C. N. was de- signed to work closely with the Royal Navy, ships and men being readily interchange- able. The effect was to permit our rel- atively small fleet to make a substantial contribution to the common defence. Since the advent of the U.N. and N.A.T.O. and indeed from an earlier date, the Royal Canadian Navy has contributed to the maintenance of sea-power on an interna- tional basis. The Navy today is not an isolated force charged with all the naval problems of defence but to a very great extent a specialized arm of the naval forces of the North Atlantic Community.

The strength of the R. C. N. has grown far more in recent years than bare figures would indicate. The large numbers of war- time did not represent either the degree of training or the firepower which is now aim- ed at and very largely attained. The Navy is known as the Senior Service but it is at the same time a fully modern one. Cana- dians have every right to be proud of the record and state of readiness of Her Maj- esty's Canadian Ships.

-lid-ult Education

(in the subject of adult education, some refreshing thoughts are contributed to the Ottawa Citizen by Mr. Bruce Hutchison, well-known Canadian journalist and author. "Any man," Mr. Hutchison argues, "who can only read and possibly write may eas- ily become educated without direct cost in this country. Some of our best educated men and women have never gone past the eighth grade. The most completely educated man I ever knew, the late J. W. Dafoe, of Winnipeg, spent only a few years in primary school and having learned to read, found the whole world of learning open to him. He proceeded to possess it. Donald Gordon had little formal education nor, for that The education of all such men came after school, it came with no cost but their own private labor and it was far more complete than

looked valuable enough, might be in heavy demand. '

"Everyone appreciates something he has paid for. How many people appreciate our free libraries, where any man can educate himself to the full limit of all recorded human knowledge for nothing? And by the same process, if our'teachers were paid properly, as perhaps the most important single group of people in the land, we might begin to appreciate them also."

I--civil lloiono:

Maj.-Gen. F. T. Worthington, national civil defence co-ordinator, points out thatl five out of Canadals ten provinces have not touched a penny of more than 252,000,000 in civil defence funds offered to them by the Federal Government.

No doubt, comments the Montreal Gazette, apathy does exist. But surely there could be no better way to increase that apathy than to toss the whole issue of civil defence into the complexities of federal-provincial municipal relations. The Federal Government offers certain funds for civil defence provided that the prov- inces will meet the offer dollar-for-dollar. But civil defence has always been regarded as based upon the municipalities. After all, it is the municipalities that are in the greatest danger of attack. But the muni- cipalities are mostly entangled in serious financial problems already. Their taxing fields are limited and narrow. And such daily problems as traffic hang over them as a cloud-a cloud dark enough to ob- scure even the question of civil defence. Nor do many of the Provinces feel disposed to take upon themselves new financial re- sponsibilities. Their fields of taxation are narrow also, not only by the limitations set by the constitution, but by the intrusion of the federal government.

So long as civil defence is tied up in the disputes between Canadals three levels of government, it is highly unlikely that much progress is to be made.

The mechanization of farming has made a large labour force available in this Province as in other farming communities. Perhaps there will be a repetition on :1 small scale of the effect of the mechanical reaper on the United States economy a hundred years ago. The result at that time was to give a great stimulus to in- dustrial activity.

"Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words best of all," is the summing up of literary style by that master of prose, Sir Winston Churchill. It is the right word, however, long or short, that Sir Winston always seeks. He was delighted, for instance, when at Ottawa he substituted ”minstrei" for "comedian" at the last moment in paying tribute to Sir Harry Lauder.

There will be considerable sympathy for the British Empire Games Committee in Vancouver and for the Duke of Edinburgh over the schedule which has been drawn up for his visit in July. Although he arrives in this country two days before opening date, engagements in Ottawa and Chalk River will prevent him being present at the official opening of the games. '

There may not be unanimity about the desirability of the present system of potato p6ol marketing in this Province, although there is every indication that it is widely welcomed. It seems clear, however, that so far as the American market is concom- ed price support here is all to the good. If there were no guaranteed minimum price there would be a very real danger of market glutting as a result of nervousness on the part of farmers who might be afraid that they would not be able to get rid of

their crop at all. ' O O 0

, LAYMEN ll LIQUOR

Sir.-In this matter there is no very sharp distinction between laymen and mlnlsteis. some min- isteiis drink. Indeed, too many of them do. some have been known to go on holiday with a. rod and I flask. 'I.nd if ministers drink why should. laymen not follow their example? .

But Just now there is a move on foot to persuade laymen to pledge themselves against drink; and if people who go to church would pledge themselves it would make some difference in the sale of liquor and its consequences. I suppose laymen use liquor, usually, to cultivate hospitality in treating their friends when they call. But. the results of such 3. practice nrc not always happy. I know if fath- er who kept: drink on hand. His only son learned the habit nt. home, went into business and be- came a failure. Children learn readily by example.

If Jesus were here among us to- day, would he not take his stand against drink. We can be sure that the road accidents and bro- ken homes would so stir His sym- pathies that He would urge His followers to avoid the cause of this sorrow, and especially, He would have in mind the cliildreiil and young people whom He dear-J ly loves. ,

In Jesus' day the drink situationi was dlf-fer-.nt. Grape wine was! used at meals as we use tea. There was no public sale of hard liquor, which has now become the world's big business. People did get drunk on wine if they drar.-'.c ciiougli of it lust. as they do today on the 2 1-2 per cent stuff sold in our stores. But: the problem had not become complicated and serious as it. is today. If we take Jesus as! our Dattern we shall find that His whole life and teaching settles this question of our attitude to drink. "Am I my brocheris keep- er?" we ask Jesus and He nn- swers "Yes. certainly you are", and His whole life backs that up.

Din ever a. man stand more" in need of pity as well as prayer? con. gressman Sterling Cole at the head of the committee on atomic energy favors the spending of 15 to 5 billions at once in view 0' what Russia is able to do to us. He says that the, situation is so desperate that Americans had bet.- ler "By I. prayer".

We are really locked up in ii prison house of fear and hate. What, is true of A nation can be true also of an individual.

Starr Daily walked out of prison in 1930, which was five years less than the time he was sentenced to serve. At the beginning of- this term he was pronounced incur- able and beyond all human in- fluence for good.

large prison is like. It is the most like "hell" of anything on earth. for the reason that the in- mates are the enemies of society and regard those on the outside as being equally as guilty as they. Or one is in and ilie other out and they curse themselves for be- ing caught. Starr Daily says the prison staff is made up of ignor- ant cruel men, working for low wages and holding their job through being able to punish without. pity. Besides by the zarnient of hatred that ho built up as a defence against suffer- ins. he refused to ask for mercy saying that the rats would carry him out in chunks before hi would crawl and whine for mercy. He is out nnw for 23 years and his council is sought by thou- sands. He has risen as high in the knowledge of the power of love as he descended in the nur- ture nnri practice of hate. How come this about? He tells of his dream as a child of a beautlfu' izarden of flowers, birds, sun- shine, music and everything. hea- venly nnd Christ coming toward: him with love and gentleness. The dream vanished and he soon em- barked on ll sinful course, for the garden lie dreamed of next. was peopled with gunmen and desperadocs.

But while serving his last sent- once his faculty of "seeing the invisible" while enduring suffer- ing. much like A crucifixion, he experienced A change that pos- sessed him with pity for those human monsters, and an attitude almost like the One who said "Father forgive thcmv for they know not what they do".

Communism is in religion as vital and progressive as that of the early Christian Church. it has self-denial and missionary pos- slon. it has left out love and supplied hate. It is out to destroy Christ and His church. We have nur advantage. A few people he- lleve in prayer. More are need- :-ri. We have heard of the book.

EARLY FARM ACTIVITIES

On Jan. 1B,g1B37, the sixth nn-- nual meeting of the Eastern Agri- cultural Society was held in Georgetown, with Mr. Alexander MacDonald in the chair. The re- port submitted by the committee is an interesting one, stressing the situation of Island farmers of that day.

Regret is expressed at the in- jury to crops by early rust, and the Legislature is commended for assisting the needy by providing seed. There was also is partial fallure,ol the potato crop owing to some disease. "An idea seems to prevail." says the report, "that the potato is worn out and re- quires to be produced from seed. A writer in the Dumfries Courier says it has been recommended to apply common soot to the let be- fore planting rather than hot lime. There is a strange and singular coincldenc; in this singular visita- tion, that it should appear about the same time in places 3000 miles distant across the ocean, not in the habit of exchanging the seed of the potato." .
