A trans-continental tour Queen Mary's rug might be Organized to earn dollars‘. for hard-pressed Britain, a gov-. ernment official said recently. Thcl official frankly admitted. howevetxi that the government itself was in. no position to sponsor such al tour. But. the Queen Mother's of-l fer to sell the rug had been placed before Prime Minister Louis St.

Laurent. I n o

Officials considering the idea said some commercial enterprise. such as a nation-wide chain of. depiirimcnt stores. would have to undertake organizing the tour. Moreover, they said, the Queen Mother's permission for such a,

display would have to be secured.‘ What action might he taken on the offer to scll the rug. however. remained obscure in government circles, The rug. on which she worked for eight, years, must be sold either in Canada or the United States, and must be kept in some semi-public place where it could be seen hy frequent visitors, the Queen Mother stipulated. There were suggestions current in capital circles that the rug could be pur- chased either for Rideau Hall, the residence of the Governor GcneraL. nr for 24.Sussex street, the new state home for the Prime Minister. I I I

Work on the Sussex street house renovations was progressing, but had not reached the stage where furniture was being bought, Informed sources said. Workmen currently were ripping the in-_ terior out of the old building over- looking the Ottawa river near Ri- deau Hall. The interior was to be completely rebuilt and additions made before the Prime Minister moved in. Official notification of the Queen Mother's offer to sell her rug was received by the Ex- ternal Affairs Department through the Canadian High Commission- or’: office in London. The communication was turned over to Prime Minister St. Laurent with an enquiry for suggestions. The matter might be taken up in cabinet, and might be referred to the Department of Public Works, which made purchase! for public buildings.

Princess Elizabeth has described the Rangers (Senior Girls Guides) movement as "bounded by no nar- row prejudice of race, but seeking to join all together in friendship." As Chief Ranger of the British Empire, she was addressing a conference of county ranger ad-

visers on "the challenge of the times." “Life is a struggle," she‘ laid. "Rangers, in accepting their

promise and the law, take upon themselves an extra struggle. They have to sacrifice themselves and keep their high ideals. this successfully they will be greatly strengthened in a world that; i| full of materialism, dis- honesty and devotion to self." a

Pioneer ilays In P. E. I.

By F. H. MacArthur

When Angus Bernard MacEach- ern was fourteen years old his parents came to America and settled at Savage Harbor. in the Island of Si. John (P.E.I.l. His father. Hugh (Bani MacEachern, was a farmer in easy circum- stances. and desired that Angus be educated for the priesthood. So in the autumn of i772 thc youth entered thc Roman Catholic college at Samlama. where he re- mained for five years, studying the ordinary branches of com- mercial education. in August of i777, Angus went took up his classical studies at dolid.

The following year he was or- cialned priest and returned to the Land of the Heather, wherei hc engaged in missionary work. for a time in the Western High- lands. In August of 1790. he ar- rived in Si. John's island. ready to carry forward the work that

earned him the distinction of be- ing one of the greatest tnissiorv. ary priest.- of his time. chapel. which he helped to build with his own hands, was erected on his father's farm.

I I I The work that fell upon the shoulders of this young priest

was almost beyond the powers of one man to perform, for his field of labor covered the whole ls- land, part of Cape Breton. and the mainland. His flock includ- ed French. Irish. Scotch and Eng- lish settlers. In those days roads were few and little better than cow paths, and for twenty years, with none to assist him. he travel- led over his huge territory, preaching. marrying. and burying the dead with unwearying energy.

Ten years after arriving in the island he went to live at Si. An- drew's, cn a ZJO-acre estate pur- chased for him by his beloved parishioners. There he built a residence and church which was really thc first cathedral in the Island. He also founded St. An- draws College.

Not until 1801i was the island visited by a bishop. That year

bec spent several days with Father MacEachern at his St. Andrew's

apostle of the Roman Caiholicl

church. a work that has placed

him in the hall of the immortals. I I I

In 182i Father MacEachern was consecrated as Bishop of Rosen. Seven years later the Diocese of Charlottetown was formed separ- ate from that of Quebec, and in- cluded the Magdalen Islands and the Province of New Brunswick. Bishop MacEachern was appoint- ed, by Papal bull, to the new bishopric.

This great missionary priest, who like St. Paul “was in journey- ings often," died as the result of a stroke in his 76th year.

On a beautiful April morning in i835, the spirit of Right Rev. An- gus Bernard MacEachern, first Bishop of Charlottetown, passed to the great beyond.

We find now that the day: ore lengthening, Jamie mentioned it this evening when the afterglow lingered along the countryside. "Just think of it — a month ago it would be dark by this!" he said. What a pleasant day they have had, these two boy: at the house “in the road" from Aid- erlea, where for the present I too belong! They were out about much of the time. catching rides in the truck as it went busily to the various carryings, plying to and from a far field with loads of manure, and then to the other farm to bring hay and bedding- straw. along January roads, as bare of snow as in Fall. There were the rabbits to be cared for. and time given over to playing with Spotty their white and black pup and it was sunset that return- ed them indoors red-checked, hungry and rather weary, their week near to an end.

o ~ .

In strange surroundings our lot has been fixed this week, all the clays of it spent at Rob's substitut- ing after a manner for Karoiyn, who is enjoying a few days away from “dull care" in consequence, at her old home in the city. Our role as house-keeper receives some constructive criticism on occasion. “And these are beans!" Jamie remarked at supper, not unkindly but merely stating a

fact. "Well, are you sure that you didn't forget to put in the molasses? Mother always uses

quite a bit when she bakes beans —they come out a different color to these!" And the younger lad. fork poised nodded gravely “these beans aren't beans at all! They're only a little brown!" And on the first morning "No, thanks. I'll not have any more -— the por- ridge mother makes doesn't look a bit like that!” from Jamie. "And I‘m not having any more either“ the other fellow said "it's too hot and too soft — and she puts it. not on this saucer but on one of mine own!" So we are of the opinion that we substitute rather poorly for Karoiyn, but neverthe- less find the change of scene in- teresting and often amusing, the days flying swiftly by. I I I

At first rather awkwardly in ihe strange surroundings we went about our duties, bewildered at times by the litter of toys and‘ projects in the making which lay about, for both children then were convalescing from the mis- ery of a common cold and confin- ed indoors. And we were some- times surprised when securing our necessities for the housework to find that our steps had to be re- routed to find the woodbox, and neither tea-cannisier nor shelf was at hand behind the stove, to which it had been our habit i0 reach.

c - o

By this however we are much at home in this snug spot though often our thoughts wander over the fields and woodlands inter- vcning to centre on the folks at Alderlea. and the place that for years has been home to us —- in that old house beside the mill- pond and stream. Away from it. we know by heart its rooms and the familiar scenes from the win- dows as the months bring the sea- sons in turn. Nor could we have built it better to house our living. And since it pleases. North. South, East and West. how then should we choose io build our house of Life?

BASIC DRESS

Despite all of fashions efforts this winter to deck women out in bright colors, the fact remains that a basic black dress —~ the best: that you can afford — is the best buy for a limited bud- get. It can be kept quiet. or made lively by the additions of clever and inexpensive acces- sories. The simpler the dress, the better the choice. It will retain its classic lines for many seasons; it will be eaisier to adapt to cur- rent vogues. A good black dress will take repeated dry cleaning without wilting.

One of the commonest skin 3,1]- merits. which is really believed to be a virus (tiny organism) infection of the nervous system is Herpes Zosler or shingles. as it is usually CQLiEII. There is no special treat- mml needed. as Shinﬂlcs runs its own course.

The outstanding point ab..." shingles ls that it runs a course n1 four to six weeks and then clears up. The patient is assured that he will never have a second attM-g, just as in such diseases as typhoid and scarlet fever.

These other or- ganisms docrease the power or of. fect of the slungiles organism. so that its effects on the body are not sufiflcient to arouse enough body resistance to prevent another at- tack of shingles.

I.n “The Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry.‘ London. Drs. C. \V. M. Whitty and A. M.
