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, mankindâs 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
XXIIIâs reign would serve merely to
âmark time.â 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 Johnâs 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
Popeâs actions, all his wordsâall his
thoughts, we are toldâcorrespond-
ed with his passionate desire to rid
humanity of warâs 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 Johnâs 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 yesterdayâs
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 teachersâ 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-
videâas the Nova Scotia depart-
ment wishesâa 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-
bakerâs retirement before the last
election. Its chief Ottawa correspond-
ent, Arthur Blakely, says now that
at the partyâs next annual meeting
in January there will be a demand
for a leadership convention and that
âinfluential 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.â
For all its numerical strength,
The Gazette writer maintains, the
Conservative parliamentary group
y is disunited, unorganized and
ingly weak in debating
strength. Mr. Diefenbakerâs a ble
lieutenants of yesterday have with
one or two exceptions, retired or
been defeated. The party is âclose
to bankruptcy. Some of its election
bills have not been paid. Given the
present state of confidence in the
partyâs 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.â
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 âappalling riftsâ 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 âLiberal dreams.â He
blames them on the âsour-grapesâ
attitude of âToronto dissentersâ,
who split the party and are now
trying to invent âexcuses for their
losses, which resulted from their
own activities.â
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
heâs got a few surprises up his
sleeve yet.

The Legion Competition, and
the beautiful silver bowl which
has now been donated, will un-
doubtedly stimulate increased
activity and a friendly spirit
of competition among Legion

should create a challenge to
other organizations to take an
increased interest in the success
of the clinics.

HISTORICAL NOTES
Sir,âI 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 landlords or their agents
from the tenant farmers were

spelled quit rents, «
On page 6-A is a picture of the
cairn at Brudenell Point under
the caption âMonument Marks
Massacre", and the article stat-
es that âPoints of historical in-
terest include Brudenel
Point, where a monument was
| erected to De Roma on the site
of the French - Indian mas- |
sacre...â 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|
âcourage 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.â 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
the falsities get scattered
abroad until our history becomes

tions rity wild folklore. tha us

Death Of A Rajah

withdrew in 1945, the Rajah of
Sarawak â His Highness Sir
cae Vyner de Windt Brooke |
â 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-

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, mankindâs 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
XXIIIâs reign would serve merely to
âmark time.â 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 Johnâs 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
Popeâs actions, all his wordsâall his
thoughts, we are toldâcorrespond-
ed with his passionate desire to rid
humanity of warâs 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 Johnâs 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 yesterdayâs
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 teachersâ 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-
videâas the Nova Scotia depart-
ment wishesâa 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-
bakerâs retirement before the last
election. Its chief Ottawa correspond-
ent, Arthur Blakely, says now that
at the partyâs next annual meeting
in January there will be a demand
for a leadership convention and that
âinfluential 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.â
For all its numerical strength,
The Gazette writer maintains, the
Conservative parliamentary group
y is disunited, unorganized and
ingly weak in debating
strength. Mr. Diefenbakerâs a ble
lieutenants of yesterday have with
one or two exceptions, retired or
been defeated. The party is âclose
to bankruptcy. Some of its election
bills have not been paid. Given the
present state of confidence in the
partyâs 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.â
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 âappalling riftsâ 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 âLiberal dreams.â He
blames them on the âsour-grapesâ
attitude of âToronto dissentersâ,
who split the party and are now
trying to invent âexcuses for their
losses, which resulted from their
own activities.â
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
heâs got a few surprises up his
sleeve yet.

The Legion Competition, and
the beautiful silver bowl which

HISTORICAL NOTES
Sir,âI 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.

from the tenant farmers were

spelled quit rents, «
On page 6-A is a picture of the
cairn at Brudenell Point under
the caption âMonument Marks
Massacre", and the article stat-
es that âPoints of historical in-
terest include Brudenel
Point, where a monument was
| erected to De Roma on the site
of the French - Indian mas- |
sacre...â 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|
âcourage 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.â 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

tions rity wild folklore. tha us

Death Of A Rajah

withdrew in 1945, the Rajah of
Sarawak â His Highness Sir

â 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.

tained his title, has lived in Lon-
