Sunset Lodge

"in every corner of the world where a need exists, the Salvation Army seeks to meet that need." How well that effort is made can he testified by a multitude of! those who have been helped in their own particular need. Because they go every- where and meet everyone the Salvation Army workers are aware of the problems that face young and old and do their best to find solutions.

The new addition to Sunset Lodge in Charlottetown is an answer to the changes in modern life which are common to many parts of the world. The family is no longer the economic unit even in rural areas. Both industry and relaxation are today organiz- ed on other than a family basis and the very homes of the people are designed to provide shelter and meals for parents and children at the most and with the least trouble and expense.

The children have their own activities and so have parents but grandparents not infrequently find little to occupy them in the typical household and perhaps not even living space. For them and for old people without kith or kin Sunset Lodge and sim- ilar homes provide a dignified and comfort- able life. The , companionship of others of like interests is an important advantage, as is the care that is provided.

Everyone needs the feeling of ”belong- ing”, of having a place in which they fit. With such assurance our elder citizens have an excellent chance of leading useful and pleasant lives. The Salvation Army way is to help people to help themselves and no approach could be more valuable.

Avonlea Again In Print

That the first Canadian edition of a book by our own Lucy Maud Montgomery should only now appear may seem remarkable. That, however, is the case with "Further Chronicles of Avonlca", which in the words of the publisher has been "lost" for thirty years. The Ryerson Press is to be con- gratulated on rectifying a very bad situa- tion for the lovers of the famous "Anne" and her sister creatures of the Island auth- or.

The present volume is not a novel but a. series of sketches of Island life at the turn of the century. As a story teller L. M. M. or Mrs. Ewen MacDonald has a very spe- cial fascination, particularly for the young for whom, after all, the best stories are al- ways told. The fifteen; tales in this little book do not permit the gradual develop- ment of character which is so notable a feature of ”Anne” and some of her other works but in remarkably few words she does manage to make them living and in- teresting people.

Those who want a literal picture of rural life in Prince Edward Island will be dis- appointed for the picture is literary rather than literal. The author sees people as they very well could be in the circumstances she imagines. That the circumstances are im- aginary is a tribute to her art rather than a flaw in her story-telling.

In any case the lovers of ”Anne" will rejoice that another volume by the author has become available at a time when there could be no reasonable expectation of such

ll. find. Ilcw Link Proposed

President Eisenhower's visit to Ottawa has served. among other things, to em- phasize the close bonds of unity between Canada and the neighboring Republic. This applies economically as well as to policies of military defense. During the war there was setup a joint defence board which has been carried on since. Now it is proposed to establish a joint economic commission. There have been Irritating differences on trade problems In necent years and appar- ently this pro new board, which is to he on 9. high cabinet level, will iron out difficulties and endeavor to harmonize our common economic problems.

This, commen the London Free Press, is a move which will be generally approved by Canadians. There was a time when It would be feared that this would lead to annexation, gbut Canada I: become too in- dependently mlndeduind too self confident to be disturbed over any such danger. Can- ada today can talk as one great power to

'i'li!.greut in the way of such

dlan Parliamentary system the Canadian Cabinet speaks with full authority, realiz- ing that it will have the support of its majority in the House. In the United States the Cabinet is responsible only to the President and Congress is likely to up- set its decisions. What is more it can take action independent of the Cabinet. Treaties are the sole responsibility of the Senate. This is what makes it so hard for other countries to do business with the United States. For example President Wilson not only endorsed the League of Nations, but it was largely his brain child. Yet it was rejected by the Senate and the United States never became a member.

High Priced -cattle

' A high point of the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, notes the Ottawa Journal, was an auction sale of Holstein cattle which in- cluded many animals that had just won top ribbons in the show ring. Naturally they were the elite of the breed but prices obtained were remarkable. The total for 35 head was SS74,500 for an average price of 332,128. There were individual prices like S8,000 and .i;7,.300 for young bulls and' up to S3000 for a heifer. i Considering the generally depressed state of the dairy industry in Canada, says the Journal, such figures border on the fantastic, in fact were a new high record for Holstein auctions in this country. There is much more behind such a sale than might appeargto the uninitiated. Whilci everybody is talking about the need fori

I I ers and a farm organization doing some-: thing about it in a big way. The larger buyers at this auction were from South and Central America, Mexico and the Un- ited States. Canadian Holsteins arc consid- ered the best available in those countries and they have become big purchasers of our purebred stock.

Since March this year, when the ex- port embargo resulting from foot and mouth disease was lifted, more than 12,000 purebred Holstein cattle alone have been exported from Canada and the foundation stock of hundreds of herds in a dozen for- eign countries now trace to Canadian-bred stock. As all animals exported are the best available the amount of foreign funds earned runs into millions, a fine tribute to the breeders of this country.

Smog Masks For Londoners

The often fatal respiratory troubles blamed on London's smoky fogs have been the subject of much concern of late. The suggestion has been made at a doctors' conference that masks for mouth and nose be worn, of a type similar to that worn in operating rooms. The masks cost only about ten cents each. They consist of six layers of surgical gauze with an area of about six square inches and are secured behind the head and neck with tapes from the corners of the masks.

The recommendation was made by a medical committee for the County of Lon- don. Commenting on the proposal "the Manchester Guardian observes that on this question the committee has the backing of the British Medical Association.

Some of the doctors present gave har- rowing accounts of the sufferings of their patients during the great fog of last win- ter. They described "chest cases" sitting up in bed gasping for breath, and the plight of old people urgently in need of hos- pital accommodation which was not to be had, or else, if they were admitted to hos- pital, dying shortly afterwards. A striking feature about the lung infections caused by that fog was the suddenness of their on- set and the rapidity of their course.

EDITORIAL N01 ES

There will be-little protest that this Province does not share more heavily in the marsh reclamation project of the Fed- eral Government. It would seem to be only fair, howpver, that an equivalent ex- penditure be made to benefit production here in some other way.

Premier Laniel of France risks the sur- vival of his government by asking for a vote of confidence on foreign policy. The other nations that will be represented at Bermuda are indebted to him, however, for making it as certain as possible that he will not attend the conference and then find himself out of office.

This column ll open to the discussion by uureupondents of question: of interest. The Guardian does not necessar- ily undo the opinion of wrrenpondenu.

RURAL MAIL (l0UllIERS' PAY Sir,-AI. the last session of Far- liament the subject of pay for rural mail couriers came up for debate. Every member of the House was in favor of giving the rural mail courier a raise in pay. with the result that an Act was passed giving the Postmaster the right. to raise the pay of rural mail couriers, and a large sum of money was voted for this pur- pose. Well A lot of rural mail couriers would like to know what became of the Act anti the money voted to carry it through. Per- haps the odd one got. A few dol- lars I year raise. A great num- bar are getting the same pay they did four years ago.

What happens when a courier applies for more wages? in some cases there is no answer at all. In other cases the answer is: "You are getting enough now," or "You are getting the average mic in your locality”. And what is the average rate? On the Island it is about C55 per mile per year. Let us figure that up for a thirty mile route and take out expenses and see what is left. Thirty miles at 555 per mile would be 51650 in- come for twelve months. A new t.ruck or jeep will cost nrountl W000. Depreciation on vehicle for one year would he 5700; gas In run it for one year would be Si-300: oil, nnll-freeze, greasejoh. minor repairs, etc., would be 3100; ii- cence and insurance another 5120.

This all adds up to 51220. Take that from the yearly salary of. 31650. and you have 5430. '

Now how much time, not to mention the abuse, will It take a man to earn this large sum of 5430. The time will differ ac- cording to the amount of boxes per mile, but this is a rough esti- mate. From May until December

For the Cana- dians however, our ensign was a pleasant sight on this Dominion Day away from home. It was part of a program we carried out that day to acquaint all a little more with facts about Canada and to commemorate the founding of our nation which today holds such high regard throughout the world. That evening the Canadians put. on a program of home-made en- tertainment. of folk songs such as "The Squid .lIggin' Grounds". ”C'est L'Environ" and ”AloucIlc". as well as n skit depicting scenes from our history and the present. day. All wt-re suitably altered of course so that characteristics of the various staff members could be mimicked. This diversion was A weekly feature of the Seminar and besides being more or less educational, did much to break down the artificial barrier of for- mality which tends to grow when people of different backgrounds, temperaments and cultures are thrown together.

The Canadians became famous (especially the French-Canadians) for the quality of their skits, and from their first performance sur- prised everyone (in fact almost shocked some Indians) when H fat little Montrealcr appeared as a stand-in for his Highness the Rajapramukh who happened to be the principal victim of their par- ody.
