The Exchequer court

The Exchequer Court which sits in Char- lottetown today has a curious history. Its name means chessboard. and refers to the table covered with a cloth divided into squares on which the accounts of the Rev- enue of the Norman kings of England were kept in bygone days. By the fiction that a plaintiff. by reason of the wrong done him by the defendant, was unable to pay his debt to the King. the Court early extended its jurisdiction from Revenue to almost every civil case.

In this country the Exchequer Court is I statutory one, and the additions to its functions have been by statute. In addi- ':ion to cases relating to the Revenue it deals with suits against the Crown, patents. copyrights and trade marks, Admiralty cases, railways, controversies between a Province and the Dominion, or between two Provinces by consent, enemy property and prize claims. '

An effort was made during the present session of Parliament to give the Exchequer Court jurisdiction in Divorce, but the pro- posal was talked out without coming to a vote.

American Potato Yearbook

The 1950 edition of the "American Potato Yearbook" is off the press. The new volume contains seventy-six pages of vital informa- tion to the potato grower, the potato dealer

- and shipper, the potato research specialist

and all those with an interest in the potato industry. It is again edited by John C. Campbell, Rutgers University College of Agriculture, and is endorsed by the Potato Association of America.

Of special significance are feature articles by Dr. R. C. Wright of the United States Department of Agriculture on "Quality in Potatoes”, and Harvey F. Noss, Executive Secretary of the National Potato Chip In- stitute on "The Potato Chip Industry--An Ever Increasing Outlet for Good Potatoes." There is also an up to date list of more than 100 references to potato culture in the United States. Other interesting items in- clude rules and regulations affecting the shipment of seed potatoes, price suppoit schedules, a map indicating leading potato growing areas in the country, a list of leading United States and Canadian assoc- iations engaged in improvement of the po- tato industry together with the names of United States and Canadian seed certifica- tion officials. The "Yearbook" also gives in- formation on how and where to secure help- ful brochures and leaflets covering many phases of the potato industry.

The book contains much statistical infor- mation of value. There are tabulations by states of both seed and table stock produc- tion as well as statistics on Canadian and world potato production. Other important features include a list of periodicals of in- terest to the potato industry. reviews of re- cent books on the potato, a- chart giving the amount of seed required and a classi- fied directory of business concerns serving growers and dealers.

Copies of the Yearbook may be secured from the American Potato Yearbook, Edit- orial Office, 319 Scotch Plains Ave.. West- field. N. J. An individual copy sells for 32.00.

British Dentists In The Tolls

It may he recalled that at the close of the first year of the nationalizing of the medical and dental. services in the United Kingdom, many doctors of both professions discovered that they were in comparative easy street as regards remuneration paid by the Government. Some dentists. especially. were .receiving Government cheques for twice or three times as much as the in- come they earned in private practice. But the good times are coming to an end through new rates and regulations being in- troduced by the Labour Government. In a review entitled " The Dentists' Road to Serf- dom", The Spectator. London, deals with the subject this way:

"In two hours in the House of Commons some very profound morals were pointed by the case of the dentists, who are about to take a second cut of 10 per cent in their re- muneration, after the first cut of 20 our cent imposed a year ago. Since the Na- tional Health Service first complicated the link between dentist and patient, events have succeeded edoh other with something of the inevitability of classical tragedy. First camp the temptation of the 51.800 65.400)

you recommended in the spam report;

everybody knew from the start, that the system was crude and ill-planned, there was no guarantee tha't the best and most con- scientious practitioners would be the high- est paid, and in total the dentists got too much. There is every reason to believe that a more discriminating relationship between dentists and patient would soon sort out the sheep from the goats and ensure that the highest incomes were earned by the best men: but with long queues of patients and standard fees for each classifiable operation the balance cannot readily right itself. And so the Minister of Health falls back upon the rough injustice of an all-round cut. Mr. Baird's suggestion of a cut adjusted to a sliding scale is really little better than the Minister's, and might easily produce anc- malies. His suggestion of a closer inspec- tion of the work of dentists might do more to weed out the incompetent and reward the competent, but inspection is only one more step to control and direction. Once the State has undertaken to pay the bill it is almost impossible for it to avoid taking new steps to see that the money is not being mis- appropriated, and it is certain that, for the dentists. after the recent hectic but remun- erative months, those new steps are going to hurt a little."

Among the legislation passed at Ottawa last week was an act providing that the dis- tribution of about 0500.000 in naval "prize money” received from the British Admiralty after the Second World War would be turr- ed over to the benevolent funds of the Cana- dian Navy and the R.

I D 0 Charles Kingsley, clergymanand novel- ist, born this date 1819; educated at Cam- bridge. became rector of Eversley, Hamp- shire in 1844. He published "Andromeda and Other Poems" in 1858. His first novels. "Alton Locke" and "Yeast" show Kingsley's Christian Socialism, which was prevalent at that time among the elite society of edu- cated professional 'men, subsequently known as Fabians, members of the literary club of that name. His novels, "Hypatia", "West- ward I-Iol", "Two Years Ago", "At Last".

A Drama Workshop to be held at the time of the Western Canada theatre conference in Regina next August was announced at a recent meeting of the Saskatchewan Arts Board. The seven-day workshop will he fi- nanced by a grant from the Arts Board and will provide training in community drama work. Also announced was the inaugura- tion. through the co-operation of the Regina Music Teachers' association, of a new con- cert party of young musical artists which will tour the Regina area. If the Regina area plan is successful, similar arrangements will be made in other parts of the province. Plans for continuance of the concert tours of artists returning from advanced studies are to be announced later.

Mr. Clarke declared that life. faith and worship of church em.- bers must be in active evidence if the hris- tian cause were to be a force in this world. "There is more peril to the church because of our inner weakness than there ever was from the enemies without the church," he asserted.

"Scalpel!”' came the voice. The order was carried out. The great surgeon was working desperately against time.

"Plunger!" he rasped. The com- mand was obeyed instantly. As the brilliant surgeon bent to his task the nurses could hear only the sound of his breathing, f.hc omin- ous ticking of the clock on the wall and the beat of their own hearts.

Finally he lifted his head and stopped back from the table. He turned with a sigh to his assistant who had stood nearby thrnullh the ordeal.

"It's no use, Kiilcare." heisaid, "it's another of those hopeless cases which are. today, baffling the greatest brains in medical so- clety."

"Poor chap." said killcare. He leaned across the horizontal fig- ure of the patient. a middle-aged handsome man with an immense curving stomach. "Which one was it this time. sir?" he asked re-

"The Far Distant Ships". on of- . ficial account of Canadian Naval

Operations in the Second wcrldlf War by Joseph Schuli. This baoini

just. published by the King's Printer. is the first authoritative account of the part played by the Canadian Navy in the recent. war. The layman who reads it will un- doubtedly be surprised by the scope of importance of work which. went on for mearly six years behind a veil of official censorship and the characteristic retlcerice of the "sil- ent service."

The story of Canadian particip- ation in the battle of the At.- lantic makes up a large part of the book. here. for sixty-eight months, Canadian ships and men served with the Royal Navy and the American Navy as full but.- ners. Canada's work was vital in holding the trade routes and later clearing them of the submarines: and the story of the hardships and achievements of Canadian ships IS an absorbing one.

It. is by no means all. however. of a story which ranges over most of the world's seas. The Canadian Navy had a share in the Mediter- ranean campaign revolving about the North African landings. It played a large part in the fierce

TAX FOR EDUCATION

"We are glad to perceive that the Land Tax Bill has posed the Leg- islative Council without any mate- rial alteration: we may. therefore. congratulate the Colony upon the very liberal provision which this Act brings to the cause of educa- tion. The tax is sixpence on each cultivated 100 acres of land. and one shilling on each uncultivated 100 acres. After providing for the Lieutenant Governor's salary of 2500 per annum. the whole of the residue of the land tax which it produces -- about 51600 - is to be applied to the general purposes of education; thus one of the great- est. blessings which it is in the power of the state to obtain for its people will now be extended to the inhabitants of this Colony. on a scale which they will have some reason to acknowledge as bounti- ful. .
