The Women's lnsfiiu tes

The 32nd annual convention of the P. E. I. women's Institutes opens tllis morning in Prince o_f Wales College hall, and the dele- gates, as on other occasions, may be assured of a warm welcome from our citizens. The conven- tion programme includes addresses by Mayor Blanchard, Hon. W. F. .-\. Stewart, Rev. Sis- ter Loyala, president of the P. E. I. Home Economics Association, Premier jones, Mr. L. \V. Shaw, Major H. H. Court, blrs. \\"illiam Mutch, Mrs. Ray .\lacLeod and others, and there will also be tlle annual reports and other business to be (liscttssed. The convention will close on Thursday when the delegates will be the guests of His Honour the Lieutenant Gov- ernor and Mrs. Bernard at Government HOHSJ.

The war years have accentuated the im- portance 0f the \\'ol1lcn’s Institutes throughout Canada, and nowhere have the members shown a more patriotic example than they have done in this Province. One of the most interesting features of the convention will be the review of the Institutes’ wartime activities. which are closely associated with Red Cross and other

home filled by transfers from the ntatiernity home, and a children's orphanage had been es- tablished. Those fit to return to their own countries were beginning to travel, and the 27,- 000 who five weeks before were on the verge of death had regained hope, though life must inevitably be short for many of them.

During the first 14 clays all this work was clone by 1,600 British service personnel, later increased to 3,000. They were advised by lead- ing medical authorities and used European lu- bour including many of the most capable of the Belsen internees. The S.S. guards-both men and womenp-who had been in charge of the camp, were forced to collect the dead and drag them to nlass graves. Some were nlade to cook for the inmates left alive. Among the British were nurses of Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service and six sections, med and women, of the British Red Cross Society. Though not asked to work alnong the horrors of the camp proper, the nurses an Red Cross women faced conditions only slig y less ab- horrent when they received the first of the enti- less stream of diseased and emaciated people in the new hospital area. Ninety-six London medical students made sure that the sick and weak got their share of food, and the Swiss Red Cross also contributed. Some of the men of the Royal Army Medical Corps themselves be- came typhus cases.

The urgency of the task and the huge numbers involved, necessitated the introduction of the Belsen “standard of fitness.” A person was fit if able to collect his own food and main-

tain ltimself. The ordeal of starvation and (lis- ease had so lowered the moral values that the majority thought only of filling their own stomachs. Human decencies had almost disap- peared. In such conditions the British service- _men strove night and day to bring order out of chaos, register. bathe, cleanse, reclothc. fecal, house and gradually rehabilitate tlle llaplcss in-

The Peace Charter

By DBWITI‘ MacKINZIE

(Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst!)

As our brand-new Pence Charter comes up for ratification by the United Natlatls what do you your- self? think are its chances of work-

E

That question has been put to me by a man who is much dis- turbed over pessimistic forecasts he has heard-the same sort of thing you and I _huve been en- countering here tmd there. Well. what's the answer?

We start. from the premise, I take it, that the Peace Charter. or the Atlantic Charter, or the Con- stitution of the United States, possess no inherent power to make themselves work. After all, they're just. words on paper. They will work only if a sufficient number of people try to make them work.

There have been folk in every age who have viewed all projects through dark glasses, even though they believed in t-he principles. Probably some of those heard the sermon on the Mount shook their heads and said: "It won't work. You can't change human nature.” But today about a third of the earth's people pro- fess Chrlstianity, and many others subscribe to the Sermon on the Mount. - So if the United Nations want the Peace Charter to ivurk, it. will work. One big reason the League of Nations didn't function properly was that important countries didn't really want it to work-that is. according to the covenant ‘Ihey used it. for selfish purposes.

O l I Some people make the point thgt by putting decisive power in te hands of the Big Five, the ideal of sovereign equality among nations has been abandoned. Nothing of the sort has happened. It's true that as things stand the fate of peace depends on the Big Five-or rather to the dominant Big Three (Britain, America. and Russlal-bllt no ltatlolrs sovereignty will be im-

With the opening of the holiday season, gov- ernment warnings are again being sent out re- garding the forest and brush fire menace.

iEvet-y year these adlnonitions are repeated, but, judging by the statistics, to little effect. It is disappointing to note a general increase in the number of forest fires last year over the aver- age for the previous ten years. The figures are ——avcrage for the decade 1934-43, 5,542; for the year I944, 5,820, But when one comes to

examine the causes, there are solne grounds for satisfaction. For instance, the number 01' conflagrations started annually by campfires over the ten-year period was 1,008, or 18 per cent of the total; whereas the numbér last year was only 805, or 14 er cent. On the other hand, an increase is orded in the fires arising from the carelessness of smokers. the average yearly number of which for 1934-43 was 925, as against 1.077 in 1944. There were fewer incendiary fires, but many more were caused by railways last year than in previous years. This is, un- doubtedly, to be accounted for by the great in- crease in transportation. The influence of the war effort is to be seen in other categories. On the whole, taking all factors into consideration, the showing made for last year cannot be re- garded as very unfavourable, except in the "smokers" item.

‘ Here are some simple hints, issued by the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. which, if acted upon, would substantially dim- inish the forest and brush fire losses. As re- gards camp fires, the place selected should be as free from inflammable materials as possible, and always near water. The advice is given to scrape away all inflammable matter froln a spot six feet square, exposing the luineral soil. Before leaving, the fire should be thoroughly doused with water, and the bare hand applied to make sure the area is cool. The request is made that campers wait at least fifteen minute,- before leaving ‘the spot. Smokers are warned to smoke only while resting near water, and to extinguish conlpletiely all cigarettes, cigar- stubs and pipe tobacco before discarding them. It is preferable to carry a lighter, but if matches are used, they should be broken in two, making sure they are out. Persons ale warned not to use ready-made cigarettes in forest areas. Guests of Canadas glorious out-of-doors should be anxious to co-operate to this extent. at least, in the work of keeping inviolate the beauty and wealth of our wooded areas. The consequences of a single act of tltotlghtlessness could easily be

__________i___ British Work At Belsen

Belsen was staggering ill its stench alld hor- ror t0 the liritish troops who entered it on April 15. There ivere 40,000 people still alive llid 10,000 to 12,000 lying deull about the camp or amongst the living in the lllllS. Less than five weeks later 27,000 had been evacuated to the adjaccnhlbtnzer training school, whose brick barracks could house all army division, and the concentration camp was empty. 23,000 bodies. including 13,000 of those who died after April I5, had been buried.

When the British arrived, the Panzer school housed 15,000 male intcrnees from other amps, many Germans and Hungarians, and a German military hospital with several thousand patients. The British evacuated most of these, Ind transformed the school into a vast recep- tion area with hospitals. This entailed creating I hospital city, organizing all stipplies and pub- lie utilities, and rcsettling 30,000 internecs.

By l\l3_v 18, this city of 27,000 inlernees was a going concern and the concentration camp was almost wiped off the face of the earth. Four ltospital areas comprising 13,000 beds were handling 11,800 patients. "llree meals were served daily. A maternity home, a women's

We are getting back to normal transporta- tion. Shipping space to a number of overseas countries is available in such quantity that Can- adian exporters will no longer have to submit applications for space in ships going there.

The expected drive for n nego- tiated peace with the Japanese has begun. Sixty prominent clergyman, headed by Prof. Arthur L.

They denounce the raids of our airmen 0n Japanese cities as “large-scale massacre." Of course they have n right to their opinion and to express it. But it ls u regrettable incident, almost: certain to be misinterpreted by the Japanese as a sign of disunlty here. Obviously beliefs of that; sort in Japan will not tend to shorten the war.

If corncorbs are to become a valuable source of motor fuel, we wonder what's to take their place down on the farm.

And then when mother or the cook wanted a quick fire in the range of u morning, well-dried cobs soaked with kerosetise were just, the ticket.

The compass is now being further developed by experts at. Britain's "air university" - the Empire Ali- Navigation School at.
