A Timely Volume There. is no lack of historical material about Prince Edward [L land; but the difficulty for the cus~ I llal reader. and particularly for vis- ltos. has ham to obtain a work on tlic sublort which is both ('Onll)i'P~ hensuc and readable in the way that a good narrative can be enjoy- or]. Such a work has been con- ceived and undertaken by Mr. Lorne l'. ('ullbock. rcscarcli specialist for the it‘cdcral Department, of Agricul— lure in Charlottetown. and past. prcsident of the Prince Edward Is- land Historical Society. who has (‘flllll’llllllt‘fi some valuable articlo: on island history to The Atlantic Advocatc and whose first full-lengt h book. "The (‘radle of Confedera- tion." has Just been published by thc Frunswick Press of Frederic- ton. NB. As indicated in a foreword. the book has: been written to enable. the people of Canada more fully to appreciate our centennial celebra- tions. It traces our history from Jacques Carticr's day to the pres— ent. giving special attention to the events leading up to the Char- Iottetown (Ionfercce of 1864 but. omitting nothing of interest under both the French and early British l'cgiiiies. and carrying the story down to our own day in a series of interesting chapters. Fittineg. it Concludes with an account of the erection of the Fathers of (‘onfed- oration Building as a national Shl‘ll‘lF and tangible expression of gratitllte to those whose foresight and deliberations resulted in the ‘ formation of this vast Dominion. 1 The extent of Mr. Callbeck‘s rev searches is shown by the bibliogra- phy of some 60 works of reference cited at the end of the volume. The. book itself runs to 250 pages. is at- tractively printed and illustrated. and is durably bound in cloth. it. is a timely occasion indeed for a work of this kind to make its appearaucc. and we have no doubt that it will meet with a very fav- orable. public response. Fiscal Deal Anomaly Haf- the new fiscal deal with the provinces, announced last week by Prime Minister Pearson, left. an embarrassing loophole. in the fed- eral tax structure? This- question was raised the other day in the House of Commons by Mr. A. D. Hales. (Ionscrvative member for Wellington South. who asked if it. was true “that. the income tax ex- emptions for parents of children 16 to 17 years of age in all provinces but. Quebec will be reduced from $550 to $300, while taxpaying Que- bec parents will continue to receive $550 exemption ?" Speaker Macnaughton ruled that the question lacked the urgency for . an immediate answer and that it. should be placed on the order paper. We may expect. therefore. that it will be brought up in due form this week. Meantime. it would appear that in the haste with which the new federal-provincial fiscal Ir- rangements were made. there was insufficient time to study all the ramifications of the proposal. The crux of the problem is thus outlined by Arthur Blaker in the Montreal Gozette: In federal tax law. dependents .19 divided into two categories: those for whom Ottcwo makes fam- ily allowance paymeou to Canadian minus and than who on not: elil- for such paymeMI- mmd‘ dip in tho tint may provide I $300 tax exemption for personal in. comp tax purposes. Dependents for whom no family allowances are paid provide an entitlement for 8 $550- tax exemption. 1‘nlil this year. Canadian 16 and l7-y-.»ai~.r»ld youngsters didn’t qual- ifv for limiin allowances and pro- ruled the larger tax exemptions.

Atlantic region was reporth by Mr. Arthur C. Parks. director of research for the Atlantic i-‘lw'winccs Economic Coun- cil. at a ruccting of the Montreal Economics Association recently. Examples of this trcnd in all four province: wch cited. The spoutcr also noted. however, that "nonc. of the developments which have. occurred in the region have had as yet any effect. on ina come diffel'f‘lltliili'. between the reg- ion aud Canada a whole." In- herent in this zililtion were higher ratcs of uncmplovmcnt. a high pro- portion of tho labor force concen- tratod in lou-lu'odlutivitr occupa- tions. and a l'r'llitivnly low rate of labor force participation. it is ovidout that. we are only at tho beginning of a long. uphill .lnb of Pr'olloliiic rehabilitation. 0t. tawa could liclp in this connection if it took another look at its special' tax incentive scheme for so-called distrcsscd areas. for which too few Atlantic areas have qualified. and which for some rcasonor other ignores the existence of Prince Ed- ward island altogether. We note that APEC‘s next an- nual meeting is to be held in Char- lottetown in October. and that the general lhcme will be f‘Priorities for Progross in Atlantic Canada." We note also. with some measure of hope. that the governors of APEC are now urging that the federal tax incentive. scheme should not bc limitod to small surplus lab- or areas. but should be extended to the entire Atlantic region. allow- ing industries to choose centres of- fering them the greatest economic advantage.

The same report. calling for a rcnvaluation of thc Federal control program. states that ‘ “for Pvcry person whose sheep ‘ may be molested by .a coyote there are pcrhaps a thousand 1 others who would thrill to hear a coyote chorus in the night.
