Nal Il Worth Seeing

Fair time in Prince Edward Is-
land didn’t end with the Provincial
Exhibition and Old Home Week, by
any means. This big event drew
large and appreciative crowds to
the Island capital, but many of our
summer visitors are still here, and
they and our own citizens have an
opportunity this week of enjoying
two of the best exhibitions of their
to be seen anywhere in the

kind
Maritimes.

The 12th annual Provincial Flow-
er Show, sponsored by Abegweit
Chapter, IODE, is now on in Sum-
merside. The official opening yes-
terday was largely attended. The
display of flowers is more beautiful
than ever. There is still time this
afternoon to feast one’s eyes on this
hing sight and enjoy the other
features of the program.

Today, too, the annual Crapaud
Exhibition opens with an excellent
display of exhibits in livestock,
poultry, fruits, vegetables, flowers
and handicraft, not to speak of con-
tests in log sawing and step danc-
ing, a midway for the kiddies and
music and fun galore.

Exhibitions are an old tradition
fn this Province, and Crapaud holds
a very special place in this con-
rection. For it was there, back in
1820, that what is believed to be
the first showing of Island prod-
ucts took place The advertisement
referring to this venture announced,
among other things, that “the in-
habitants of Crapaud and sur-
rounding country are anxious to
open a market with Ramshag (now
Wallace, N.S.) to exchange sheep
for spinning wheels and chairs.” Ex-
hibitors from Cumberland, N.S.
were assured that their “young cat-
tle would meet with purchasers for
cash or barter.”

That was three years before the
Government stepped into the pic-
ture by offering prizes for a live-
stock show in Charlottetown, and
many years before a truly provincial
exhibition got under way. So, hats
off to Crapaud, and may its efforts
be crowned this year by having the
grandest fair in its long history!

Rifts Within The Lute

The resignation, first, of Mr.
Paul Bienvenu as commissioner-
general and president of the 1967
Montreal Word Fair, and then—on
Monday—of Mr. Cecil F. Carsley as
deputy commissioner, certainly
Jeaves some grave questions in the
public mind. There have been re-
ports of bickering within the fair
directorate and between this group
ind various government bodies. Mr.
barsley refuses to confirm or deny
these reports. He found, as he says,
the “strains and challenges” of the
ffice greater than he anticipated,

1d not even a personal request.

m Prime Minister Pearson that
he reconsider his resignation has
lailed to move him.

It is not only Montreal that fs
Goncerned in the success or failure

@ntire nation. A successful ex-
Bibition of the kind proposed would

Mr. Carsley’s decision, he under-
stood his personal reasons for
resigning his post. The Government
will appoint a new commissioner and
deputy commissioner by the end of
next week, and there the matter
rests for the present,

In opening the ceremonies for
the World Fair construction site the
Prime Minister had called for an
early conference between federal,
Quebec provincial, and Montreal of-
ficials to reach more definite an-
swers to overlapping problems. “It
sssential,”” he said at that time,
that there should be a clear un-
derstanding as to exactly what is
to be done, by whom it is to be done,

| Pearson said that while he regretted

|

what the costs will be, and who
will meet them.”
The resignations of Messrs,

Bienvenu and Carsley would seem
to indicate that there has been some
hitch in achieving this kind of un-
derstanding.

Farm Problem Under Study

The breakdown in farm machin-
ery and the time lost in repairs is
a matter of concern to farmers
everywhere. With the increase in
automation this problem is assum-
ing grave proportions and it is in-
teresting to note that in Ontario 1
special effort is being made to cope

with it. A machinery tion
committee has come up with find-
ings and the province’s egriculture
minister, Hon. W.A. Stewart, has
named gn advisory board make up
of various segments—the makers,
distributors, repairmen and farm
organizations—to recommend action
to the cabinet.

Major suggestions of the com-
mittee are: One-year guarantees
against breakage; a central parts de-
pot for each company with service
available at all times; parts for ten
years after introduction of each
model; standardization of parts,
There is also a suggestion that
greater research be conducted be-
fore new machines are released.

Ways of improving the situation
ean be supplied by any farmer; but,
as the London Free Press points
out, means of working out a code
for the trade may be much more dif-
ficult There will have to be max-
imum co-operation in an industry
that is intensely competitive if this
new deal is to work.

Yet with public opinion behind it,
the scheme is worth trying. Our
London contemporary is right in
saying that the city-dweller as well
as the farmer has a stake in this
movement. Every cent spent in time
and farm equipment is iinally
transferred into cost of the food the
urbanite eats. Every citizen should
be interested if the advisory board
can make the program click: it may
save him a percentage point or two
on the cost-of-living index.

And, of course, it would affect
production costs in other provinces,
since a good deal of the machinery
used by farmers across Canada is
made in Ontario. If the Ontario gov-
ernment should succeed in getting
the cooperation required from manu-
facturers, there is no doubt that a
stendard could be set throughout the
country.

EDITORIAL NOTES
Plastic bags, refrigerators, trac-
tors and other products of twentieth
century industrial development have
taken their toll of young lives. Now
a power-operated window in a motor
car caught the neck of a two-year-
old child and killed him in Pennsyl-
vania. The more dangers we place
within reach of youngsters, the

more careful we must become.

The world’s fastest train—so fast
that it has to be braked by an elec-
tronic brain—is being developed by
the national railway corporation of
Japan. The new “Dream Super Ex-
press” has already set a world speed
record of 124 miles per hour in trial
runs, and may possibly be able to do
162 m.p.h. in time for the Olympic

Culzean Castle, former U.S.

idence, has had a disaster. More
than 30 of the iron balls stacked
beside the castle’s 18th century can-
non have disappeared. A search for
the culprit is under way, for un-
doubtedly this was the work of some
evil hand. A, foreign agent, per-
haps? The police have a more prosai¢

a scrap dealer.

So all sorts of things, from gar-

got along without very well for
many Canadian years, suddenly
become essential to us during a

But then the returning family

at the Canadian border.
NICKEL PURCHASES ONLY

We are allowed to bring some
of our holiday purchases back
into Canada without paying Ca-
nadian import duty on them—uo
to the trivial total of $25 every
four months. But the dollar-
happy U.S. tourist can take back |
goods to the value of $166.67
every 31 days without paying
duty,

Thus for example a resident
of Detroit, U.S.A., could spend
$2,000 in the stores in Windsor,
Ontario, in one year; and take
her purchases back home with-
out paying U.S. duty on them.
But a Windsorite visiting Detroit
could only bring back $75 worth
of purchases free of Canadian
duty in the same period.

This of course makes the re

CHILDHOOD MONO

J. S. writes: Is mononucleosis
in a 5- year-old more dangerous

PLY

No. At this age the _gondition
resembles a cold with sore
throat and swelling Mt ibeloeee
glands. The usual blood tests
for mononucleosis may not be
done so that the diagnosis is
missed. But the child develops
immunity to the infection, which
explains why so many young
men and women in high schoal
and college escape, even though
their roommates come down
with the disease.

It used to be “Let Dag do it.”
Now, when two or .more coun-

differences, they call on the

ag Hammerskjold’s suc-
cessor to do it Two important
issues have been dumped into U
Thant's lap, both of them a
chailenge to the UN Secretary
General's ingenuity,

One is the demand by 32 inde-
pendent African states that Por-
tugal set its Africa territories
free. The resolution adopted by
the Security Council (the United
States, Britain and France ab-
staining) calls on Portugal to
grant self-determination to An-
gola, Mozambique and Portug-
uese Guinea, but it is left to the

retary General to report o1
how it is carried out.

The resolution could be mean-
ingful or meaningless, depend-
ing on U Thant’s skill as a nego-
tiator and intermediary between
Portugai and the African states.
At the moment, they are as far
apart as ever. The Africans can
claim a victory and point with
pride to the resolution, but the
Portuguese can ignore it on the

stated by their For-

ing in the internal affairs of »

show the kind of reasonableness
and good humor that was dis-
played by the Foreign Ministers
of Portugal and Sierra Leone in
