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 3, 1963. 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 this ambitious enterprise, but the @ntire nation. A successful ex- Bibition of the kind proposed would of importauce to Canada’s whole tourist trade and international bal- e-of-payments position for years 9. come. The Federal Government is ready committed to the extent of bout $50,000,000 including capital federal exhibition buildings control and navigation at the St. Lawrence island lewed in Charlottetown on ct on Monday evering, Mr. Frank Walker paper | 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 Games in Tokyo in 1964, 87 ee Culzean Castle, former U.S. President Eisenhower's Scottish res- 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¢ idea. They believe the balls—weigh- ing 60 pounds each—were stolen by a scrap dealer. WE'RE ON THE SAME TEAM, REMEMBER? OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson Canadians Gypped By Customs Regulations The U.S. tourist is treated by his government more generous- ly in one month than a Cana- disn tourist in a whole ye: No matter whether Faites has “sightseeing”, Yh 08 “sports” in ‘mind as. the, ob. jective of a holiday in a for- eign country, it is “shops” that Mother will be drawn to first and foremost. In this field her dear feminine mind always re- gards the grass as being greener on the other side of the fence, So all sorts of things, from gar- ments to gadgets, which we have got along without very well for many Canadian years, suddenly become essential to us during a few days outside Canada. But then the returning family has to face the Customs officials 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 tail merchants in Canadian bor.

The vast majority of cases are among children as a result of eating flakes of paint from old build- ings or chewing on toys repaint- ed with a lead paint.

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.

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 » bys state. levertheless, if both sides can show the kind of reasonableness and good humor that was dis- played by the Foreign Ministers of Portugal and Sierra Leone in unusual face-to-face debate at ihe Overseas Press Club, u Thant may have a good chance of eaching a compromise settle.
