The total length of the proposed highway is approx- imately .fifty miles." The “eight” miles was emphasized by our contemporary in black type. It now contends its statement was that not more than eight miles of the highway would be undertaken on a fifty-fifty basis “during the currency of the agreement." No such words were used by cur contemporary in its Tuesday'-0 comment on the Ottawa announce- ment. Wg repeat that its charge on that occasion, namely, that the "arrangement" with the Dominion. Government “applies to only ish! miles" was false and misleading: and that it was deliberately so, the Liberal press being fully aware that thg “arrangement” and "the cur- rency of the agreement" are two entirely different things, the one being applicable to the whole pro- ieot, the other merely to the cur- rent fiscal year, after which the agreement may be renewed on thc lame basis. Our contemporary having admit- tea that the fail cost, up to $50.- 000, of the Borden concrete high- way, plus c” -half the cost of the asphalt, higgvay to Charlottetown, is be‘.n|`paid by the Bennett Gov- ernment, we were curious to dis- cover what excuse.it had to offer for stating. last October, that "Ben- nett -pays only about 2s per cent of the total cost as against 48 per cent under the former Liberal policy.” not we and nothing in its yester- day`s issue by way of extenuation, explanation, or apology for lhl-I glaring misstatement.

A man who liver: alone in an upstairs room or two, in an old wooden tenement, and has few of the pleasures of life in his ex- pcrience, was talking the other day. "1 want to tell you one thing," he said; "whim you get control or your faculties thc question of riches and poverty is of small account." And he went on his way cheerful. In his recent book “ln the Steps ol. the Master," Mr. H. V. Morton relates that while poking about in a. drawer' full of soaps in a shop in Jerusa.'l:m he discovered a R,,.m an tile embossed with a. circular stamp and the letters of the Tenth Desion.

He described the Soviet gov- ernmental cxperlment as a fearful failure, which was "only to be ex- pected from putting people who could not can: for their own inter- ests successfully in charge of thc administration of public affairs."- Calgary Herald.

Sir, etc., JUST FOR TRUTH earlier years the Anti-Tuberculosis Societies had been highly effective in disseminating knowledge of the disease. no prcvlsiczi had rnen made by the Govemmnet or any agency to make possible tha earlier diagnosis of cases, their hospitali- zation, or the supervision of con- tacts. - In July, 1022, Dr. R. 13; Wode- li0u-Se. tltn executive secretary of the Canadian Tuberculosis Associa- tion. accompanied by the late Dr. J. W. Robertson, then chairman of the Canadian Red Cross society, visited Prince Edward Island and addressed meetings in Charlotte- town and Summnrsldc outlining a program of co-operation by which an adequate tuberculosis control program could be conducted. Hope ,was expressed of obtaining the lamount of $100,000 to make im- ‘mediately possible tbn fulfillment of the plans. Although these funds were not obtained, the work was ,undertaken and brought to a suc- cessful ccncluslon in 1931 with the and was succeeded bv Miss Mons Wilson. With demands for increas- ing service, additional nurses were appointed. School medical and den- tal services were provided and of- fortc were made to effect the san- itary improvement of the school buildings. Dental and tonsil clinics were held and clinics for tba exam- ination and treatment of crippled children inaugurated. Throuvli the efforts of the Red, Cross Society vaccination against diphtheria and smallpox wls conducwd and in- struction given in home nursing. the cam of infants, and in fini.-aid.

Through the services of the ‘Federal Government the testing of ,all cattle in the provlnrn was un- dertaken in 1023 and completed in 1026. Prince Edward Island was the first province in Olnada to bc de- clared a tuberculosis-flee area in respect to csttfe. A provl-fe-wide chest diagnostic survey was undertaken in July, 19%, by the Canadian Tuberculosis Association in ccnrperatlcn with the Prcvlncill Iledioll Association and the Red Orion Society.

This survey emphasized the necessity of 'providing a permanent diagnostic service and adequate sanatorium facilities. Prince Edward Island was not alone in having an unsolved tuber- culosis problem. New B; unswlck and Nova Scotia wen: also facing sim- ilar needs. In 1025 a conference was held in Kentville, NB., of phy- sicians particularly interested in tuberculosis with representatives or the Provincial Departments of Health. The major findings of the conference were contained in a resolution urging that rt special educational programme be institut- ed in the thrrn provinces if money could be obtained. Through the co- operation of the Canadian Life 0!- ficers' Association these plans were made possible and the Maritime* Tuherculosis Educational Comm1tr‘ tee was organized in 1926. The demonstration as planned by the committee was to continue for a period of five years. As a msult of the years of educational effort in Prince Edward Island public support was at once accorded the plans for a permanent programme. It was indeed pleasing that a. provincial sanatorium containing fifty beds was planrrrd, constructed and open- ed in the city of Charlottetown be- fore the termination of the five- years' demonstration. The partici- pation of the Canadian Life Oi- fi:crs' Association in the whsle project of providing effective tubir- culcsis control in the Maritimel Provinces has proved to be one of the most valuable contributiotis which the life insurance companies have made to organizvd public health. The commit‘rc made available the services of Dr. G. J. Wherrctt. who undertook tn conduct disgnos- tic clinics twice yearly, and made possible also tuberculosis follow-up work by the Red Cross nursing staff. Those arrangements vi-,erc continued until the appointment, in November, 1928, of Dr. P. A. Creel- man as dia"n:s'ician for Prince Edward Island. Dr. Creelmau was at the same time appointed tht? first chief health officer for the province to serve in a full-time capacity. Before the conclusion of the dem- onstration the Gomrnment announ- ced the formation of a department of health, with the appointment ol the Hon. Dr. W. J. P. MacMillan ar the first minister of public h‘alth. Dr. B. C. Kopeing was appointed chief health office". Dr., P. A. Crnciman wus appointed mef‘ical director of the sanatorium and in charge of the tuberculosis program of the provlhre. Public health lib- oratory facilities have been provid- ed in the sanatorium.
