    The World Mourns

    The world mourns today one of
    the truly great men of this age;
    one who had come to symbolize, al-
    most everywhere, mankind’s yearn-
    ing for peace and for a new spirit
    of brotherhood. He was the son of
    an Italian peasant, and he end-
    ed his di as Supreme Pontiff of
    the Roman Catholic Church, after
    an all too brief reign in which his
    humanity and spirituality were
    shown in every sphere of papal ac-
    tivi

    When as Cardinal Roncalli he
    was elected to this exalted station,
    many observers thought that John
    XXIII’s reign would serve merely to
    “mark time.” He was then almost
    77 years old, and it seemed natural
    to expect that he would be conser-
    vative in his policies and in his out-
    look on the troubled world at large.
    But within three months he had
    conceived the idea of holding the
    first Ecumenical Council since 1870,
    and had plunged energetically into
    its planning.

    This bold venture, holding out
    the ultimate prospect of a united
    Christianity, was his major under-
    taking. The Council has still to
    complete its work, but it has al-
    ready created an atmosphere which
    may change the course of history.
    And it embraced so many other
    activities on Pope John’s part that
    one can only marvel at the dynamic
    energy with which they were
    pursued.

    Notable among these were his
    great encyclicals, which explored al-
    most every problem of our modern
    age and urged the need of achieving
    peace and understanding with a
    frankness and sincerity that caught
    the attention of the world. All the
    Pope’s actions, all his words—all his
    thoughts, we are told—correspond-
    ed with his passionate desire to rid
    humanity of war’s curse.

    The impact of this life of wholly
    dedicated service has been truly re-
    markable. It has brought measur-
    ably nearer the goal of Christian
    unity, and of working constructive-
    ly with those of other creeds, and of
    none, on problems of common con-
    cern. Who can doubt that its benign
    influence will continue to shed its
    warmth in the hearts and minds of
    the countless millions who mourn
    Pope John’s passing today, in a man-
    ner that finds few parallels in the
    pages of modern history

    TV School Courses -

    As noted by Education Minister
    Dr. Dewar, provision was made in
    the estimates of his department this
    year to cover the cost of an experi-
    ment with school television in the
    regional high schools of the province
    next term. The comments of some
    of our leading educationists on this
    subject, published in yesterday’s
    Guardian, made interesting and in-
    formative reading.

    It is quite evident from these
    comments that educational televis-
    jon is not regarded as a satisfactory
    substitute for first-class teachers,
    and that there is full awareness of
    the danger of the system getting
    out of control, On the other hand,
    in view of the shortage of qualified
    teachers, there is undoubtedly justi-
    fication for the government giving
    it a fair trial on the modest scale

    posed.

    Nova Scotia high school students
    have already been provided with
    television courses in mathematics
    and science, and the decision to go
    ahead with a French program this
    year is taken as an indication of the

    of the

    Officials of the education depart-
    ments and of the teachers’ organi-
    zations in Newfoundland, Prince
    Edward Island and New Brunswick
    are to meet Nova Scotia officials
    in Moncton on June 17 to determine
    the modifications that might be
    necessary to tailor the N.S. courses
    for use in the other provinces.

    According to a Halifax report,
    the big decision at this meeting
    will be whether television can pro-
    vide—as the Nova Scotia depart-
    ment wishes—a French program
    suited to Grades 4, 5 and 6. Tenta-
    , Plans call for two classes a
    preliminary French
    course and two a week for Grade 7,
    the first year of French in most
    public schools in Nova Scotia.

    Arranging the course in French
    to start with Grade 4 would mean
    an extension of existing French
    teaching for all provinces. Under
    present curriculum arrangements,
    French teaching starts in Grade 5
    in New Brunswick (with first and
    second years devoted almost entire-
    ly to oral teaching), in Grade 8 in
    Prince Edward Island and in Grade
    9 in Newfoundland.

    Dr. Dewar has expressed the
    hope that it will be possible to use
    Nova Scotia department programs
    here to some extent at least. No ar-
    rangements have been worked out,
    but we may assume that concrete
    action will be taken following the
    Moncton conference.

    Tory Tale Of Woe

    There is another drive on to get
    rid of Mr. Diefenbaker as national
    leader of the Conservative Party.
    This is evident from a front-page
    article in the Montreal Gazette, one
    of the Conservative papers which
    made a switch in support of those
    who were agitating for Mr. Diefen-
    baker’s retirement before the last
    election. Its chief Ottawa correspond-
    ent, Arthur Blakely, says now that
    at the party’s next annual meeting
    in January there will be a demand
    for a leadership convention and that
    “influential backers of the plan,
    convinced that a change in leader-
    ship is essential, are mildly hopeful
    that Mr. Diefenbaker will retire
    gracefully to the sidelines to make
    room for a successor.”

    For all its numerical strength,
    The Gazette writer maintains, the
    Conservative parliamentary group
    y is disunited, unorganized and
    ingly weak in debating
    strength. Mr. Diefenbaker’s a ble
    lieutenants of yesterday have with
    one or two exceptions, retired or
    been defeated. The party is “close
    to bankruptcy. Some of its election
    bills have not been paid. Given the
    present state of confidence in the
    party’s leadership by businessmen
    large and small, there is little chance
    that its war chest can be filled to
    a respectable level in the foresee-
    able future.”

    Mr. Blakely also claims that
    many of the backbenchers who sup-
    ported Mr. Diefenbaker through
    thick and thin in the past, while
    eloquent in their praise of the
    achievements of his fighting elect-
    ion campaign, now are convinced
    that this was the last great service
    that he could render to the party;
    that the “appalling rifts” which be-
    came evident during the cabinet
    crisis have not been closed, but if
    anything are wider and deeper to-
    day than before the April 8 election
    campaign began.

    Against this tale of woe we
    note from an Ottawa Journal com-
    mentator that the Prairie provinces
    at least are still loyal in their sup-
    port. Mr. Terry Nugent, Conserva-
    tive member for Edmonton Strath-
    cona, is quoted as saying that the
    retirement stories are just an out-
    pouring of “Liberal dreams.” He
    blames them on the “sour-grapes”
    attitude of “Toronto dissenters”,
    who split the party and are now
    trying to invent “excuses for their
    losses, which resulted from their
    own activities.”

    All of which goes to indicate
    that the January meeting of the
    party, when it takes place, will be
    a lively one. Meanwhile Mr. Diefen-
    baker has remained inscrutably sil-
    ent about his future plans, Perhaps
    he’s got a few surprises up his
    sleeve yet.

    INDIA IN CRISIS

    Modern India faces two prob-
    lems that tower above all oth-
    ers: too many people on too lit-

    China on the northern frontier.

    Before long there will be half

    all humanity, ina land only a|

    HISTORICAL NOTES

    Sir,—I have just read the
    Vacation Guide section of your
    paper, issue of May 31. This
    is a fine piece of work and
    I am sure all residents who are
    interested in our tourist indus-
    try will be very grateful indeed.

    However, I wish to point out
    that some of the historical notes
    are rather uncertain, a few of
    them being actually erroneous.

    I note, for example, that Miss
    Montgomery's name appears as
    Lucy Maud and as Lucy Maude.

    On page 4-A it is stated that
    “the first survey and ma ps|
    made | by Captain Holland in |

    ed i stand in 1

    In me elengs we find a
    vatiheiod headed “Quick
    Rents”. The rents collected by
    the landlords or their agents
    from the tenant farmers were
    known as quitrents, sometimes
    spelled quit rents, «

    On page 6-A is a picture of the
    cairn at Brudenell Point under
    the caption “Monument Marks

    Massacre", and the article stat-
    es that “Points of historical in-
    terest include Brudenel
    Point, where a monument was

    | erected to De Roma on the site

    of the French - Indian mas- |
    sacre...” This sentence is ambi- |
    guous and the information is un- |
    true: Is Brudenell a point of in-
    | terest or is Brudenell Point of
    interest from a historical stand-
    | point? Would other points of
    historical interest include Rocky
    Point, East Point Point Prim, |
    et cetera.

    A few days before Louisburg
    fell to the British from Massa-
    chusetts, June 16, 1745, a ship |
    entered the harbour of de|
    Roma's settlement. The French
    fled into the woods, having no
    means of defence. De Roma and |
    his family and servants made
    their way to St. Peter's by way |
    of the road he had earlier cut | ©
    through the forest to that place. |
    From thence he left Isle St.
    Jean by ship. No massacre took
    place, as suggested quite defin-
    itely but erroneously in this issue |
    of The Guardian. |

    Finally, on page 16-A, I note
    that the Mismac Indians were a
    rather remarkable tribe, the|

    “courage displayed by their)
    warriors being enough to strike

    terror in the hearts of other) jo

    tribes, from the Malisects of |
    New Brunswick, to the tribes of
    the western plains.” Thus
    would appear that this small
    tribe, who lived mainly in what
    is now Nova Scotia, and who
    came in small numbers to Mine-
    goo (The Island) in the summer,
    bint the Spartans of the red-

    n. They were able to toma-
    awe their bloody way through
    the Malisects, Ottawas, Eries,
    Wyndots and other famous
    tribes until, fanning out over the
    vast plains, they made the very
    Crees, Blackfeet, and Sioux
    quake in their tepees. Is not this
    implication rather far-fetched?

    Sir, with the centennial cele-
    brations close upon us our peo-
    ple are becoming increasingly
    interested in local history. We
    should, therefore, guard against
    publishing historical material of
    dubious value and we s
    make certain, at all times, that
    we are correct in our state-
    ments.

    People will talk about the
    items of history they , chil.
    dren may clip them and use
    them in school essays, and thus

    abroad until our history becomes

    Death Of A Rajah

    Ottawa

    When the Japanese invaders
    withdrew in 1945, the Rajah of
    Sarawak — His Highness Sir
    cae Vyner de Windt Brooke |
    — returned to the land |
    his Mguadiotiee had ruled
    and decided he did not have
    the wealth to rehabilitate it.
    Then, despite the objections
    of his brother and a nephew,
    the Rajah decided the territory
    must be ceded to the Crown of
    Britain. This was done, al-
    though the native vote was
    against it, and the reign of the
    White Rajahs was finished.
    Since then the Rajah, who re-
    tained his title, has lived in Lon-
    don and a Canadian correspon-
    dent who interviewed him ther
    after the war found him in mo-
    dest quarters, a reticent, unob-
    strusive Englishman who fel
    he had kept faith with his peo-

    Journal

    ple and followed the course
    which was best for them Now
    he has died at the age of 88 and
    it is remembered of him that
    when he was a prospective rul-
    er he had lived among the na-
    tives, studied their languazes
    and customs and said it was
    best that the white man help.
    ing them should be bachelors
    rather than married men with
    “one foot back in the bunga.
    low.” He thought it was folly to
    thrust western ideas and Inatl
    tutions upon the nativ .
    sisted anything that smacked
    of commercial exploitation. The
    White Rajahs and their ideas
    would be an anachronism in a
    world where efficiency means
    more than tradition but in the

    will linger long be honored.

    NATION ON THE MOVE

    The great dams that are tam-

    geoning steel mills, the rising
    literacy rate, and the round-the-
    clock pace of her universities,
    are all ebylous ign of at

    ed by a Haneda tribesman:

    “We can borrow money from
    co-op banks. Before, when the
    maharajas ruled us, we had to
    go to a private moneylender who
    charged 18% percent a year.

    For India’s onetime potentat-
    es, the end of whose era began
    on Independence Day in 1947,
    only fragments ty the old glamor
    remain. Mr. Scofield said,
    “T vidited fairyland palaces
    throughout India. I saw golden

    still ride elephantback on their
    annual appearances before

    grandeur, another was shutter-

    remains a place of temples, of
    elephants being scrubbed in
    roadside pools, and of village
    girls whose complexions glow
    like mahogany.
    “Tt was difficult,” said Mr.
    Scofield, “‘to keep my mind on

    minded me of that other never-

    Offer objects to this child in
