Bursting Throu l’i_An _Open Door

. 8

On a inemorable occasion the R1. HON. Aiirnun Mr1oul:N described Plum: Mrmsrcn Kl`No’s vigorous assertions that he had forced constitutional concessions_ from the ,Mother Country a_s merely the pretense of “bursting 'llrough an open door.” There was no door to oair ingress, and no opposition of any kind by the Mother Country, which had come forward moretllan half-way to explain to MR. KING that what he demanded required no concession as§it was already common to all the common- wealth of nations.

_ Similarly it nlay be said of our distinguislled

prospective member, the HON. CHARLlss A. l)C'NNlNc, that in coming here with able slip- porters to help _his claims, he has already been llle_t more thatl half way; illdeed, from the illo- ment of The Guardicnfs announcement that the l"ii_1ancc Minister had “made a dicl<cr" with .\lk._ I./ill.-\llr.l;, the general feeling was that he shotllfl bc allowed llere a place to rcst his weary feet wllicll. |lolitir:llly, had traversed the 'Do- minion from Szlskatcllmvall to the Atlalltic. lt is adlnittcd that Blu, DUNNING is the "key pin” of the KING tiovernnlent. It is oil him the "big interests" batik: it is on him rests thc success or 'otherwise of thc financial policy of the KING Guvernnlcnt. Canada has still serious problems to solve, has still critical periods to pass through, most of them financial, aild on the manner in wliicll the l"il1ance Minister handles them de- pends notlonly the fate of the Government but of §Canada.

lfndci- these circumstances it is not in the

interest of Canada to keep the Finance Minister out of parliament. Mk. KING, \vith MR. DUN- l\'1Nu's powerful aid, won a decisive victory at the polls, and it is for us, and all truly patriotic Canadians to give his government a chance to make good. _

.-\s a democratic party it is not for one, or

even several, individual Conservatives to decide the attitude to adopt on the occasion of a by~» election. and so the poll committees, as far as practicable in the very linlitcd time, were duly consulted by the executive of the Queen`s County Liberal-Conservative Association. After consideration, the decision was arrived at, for the reasons indicated, to offer no opposition to the.return of MR. DVNNING as successor to l\lll. LARAnl;c resigned.

Therefore there was hardly any necessity

for MR, DUNNING to bring here his dis- tinguished aids, I-loN. Vit. MICHAUD and MR. ScoT'r, financier, to strengthen his cause, al- though we are nonetheless pleased to have them with us, and trust both MR. DuNN1No and they will return to Ottawa and Montreal with an enhanced good opinion of this province and its interests. .

_ Our Fishery Problems

2 lt is to be hoped thc opportunity will not

bc Twasted of impressing personally upon_ l'loN. Ma. Mlclmun, Minister of Fisheries, during hisfprcscnt visit here, the many matters of itll- portance to the fishery interests of the Province which have been advocated during the past year. In january last, at a public meeting called by the Charlottetown Board of Trade, a resolution was passed urging the establislunent by the Provincial Government, with federal assistance, of a Department of Fishery Education in coil- nection' with Prince of Wales College and of aggressive measures to arrest the decline in thc lobster fishery. Subsequently, at the quarterly meeting of the Board of Trade, a resolution was adopted requesting federal assistance to Island fishermen “to provide suitable equipment to cn- able them to carry on their industry profitably and also to build at fishing centres along the coast, small brine freezers for bait, _of about 5 tons capacity." Again, when the newly organ- izcd Prince Edward Island Fishcrmen’s Union inet in October, resolutions were passed asking for better transportation facilities for the ship- ment of' snlelts, and for a qualified inspector to classify the different grades of boneless cod. At the same meeting, strong dissatisfaction was expressed with regard to illegal' fishing of oysters, the leasing of beds to private individu- als, and also to the federal grant of $5,000 being given to the Maritime Fishermen’s Union, which is not shared in by the Prince Edward Island organization.

as ale as _ The artificial breeding of oysters may bring

new help to England's “native” industry. For more than 15 years the Ministry o'f_Agriculture aild Fisheries has been attempting to secure re- liable breeding. Now, at last, results which are regarded as definitely encouraging have been se-

cured. The secret is bilieved to lie in the “dict” given to the young ysters. The commercial grounds for regarding artificial oyster-breeding as _potentially profiitable are that the majority of English “natives".are now _reared from foreign oysters, imported young; and that the importa- tion‘is sufficient to suggest that an appreciable expansion of the English- industry is n practical possibility. This yeat’s suoceu has been achieved at the Conway research station of the Ministry in North Wales. Out of rather more than 4,000,000 oyster larvae, atleast 150,000 "settled" This was in an 8o,ooo gallon tank, and it is be- lieved that if more states, tiles and .asbestos sheets had been provided`for the oysters to settle on the success achieved would have been.

It would seem that all over the

world practising physicians and re- search workers ln laboratories are learning more and more about the great value of calcium-llme-to the body.

lt- has long been knowxfthnt lime'

helped to form the bones and that when needed the bones would give up some of their llme to the blood and tissues, and that sufficient lime ln the foodstuffs prevents decay of the teeth. '

Later it was found that limo re-

lleved pain tn cancer, helped to ooagulate the blood. healed old vurh oose ulcers, prevented certain skln ailments, and relieved nervous spasm.

And now Dr. Grant Preston, Har-

risonburg, Va., tells ua ln~the Vlr- glnla Medical Monthly, that lime ls of great value ln disturbances of the eye and nose. I-Ie finds that the tone of the llntng of the blood vea-

sels ls mpmvemd the strength of the cells ln r ing harmful or- ganisms ls greatly increased-by the use of llme. Bleeding of the delicate tissues ln the eyes .ts prevented by injecting lime into the veins.

Dr. Preston points out that ‘the

When this moisture on the llnlng of the nose and throat ls ln normal oondltlon lt can prevent harmful organisms entering into the blood even lf these organisms are actually into the nose as often as every ten minutes. ' _

This means that lf there ls insuf-

flclent lime in this lining moisture ailments may be set up tri other parts of the bcly.

Among the symptoms that may

arise due to insufficient lime tn the body are an unusual susceptlblllty or tendency to colds; tiredness and lack of endurance ln children and young adults; sallow complexion; swelling of the llnlng or covering of the turblnate bones ln the nose; soft teeththat hold their fillings poorly; tingling and numbness of the hands und’ feet.

Dr. Preston reoomniendsgthe use

of some satisfactory preparation of lime, regular daily use of vitamin D, sunshine, and also extract of the parathyroid gland situated below the thyroid gland ln the neck. This extract has to do with the lime carrying power, of the blood.

Britain And The Suez Canal

(Ottawa Journal)

This week we heard one of those

glib United States radio "com- mentators" tell ~how Britain “owned” the Suez Canal, proceed to draw conclusions from such ownership. _Brltafn doesn't own the Suez Canal, doesn't even control tt. Con- trary to too common belief. the majority of the shares of the Suez Canal are held by Prenchmen, with Fi-eiwhmui a majority on the Canal‘s board of directors.

The British Government holds 45

percent of the Canal'| shares. That, ordinarily, might mukg for control. but inasmuch as the laws under which the Suez Canal wu set up provide that no alnlle shareholder, no matter what his holdings. cm have more than 10 votes on ltl board, control remains with the French.

And the French, the countless Frenchman and Prennhwomon who hold the majority of the shares, have I. good investment. In 1984 they paid 85 percent., with the price of mares rlstnz to 01.800.

Lord Tweedsmuir On Public Speech

(Exchange) Lord Tweedsmuifs addtcss be- fore the Ottawa. Canadian Club on public speaking was n charming thing. But it was also B very sen- sible thing. with its chief value tn the fact that Lord Tweedsmuir, a master of good English, and havlng heard many famous speakers, knew

what he was talking about.

There are some who, themselves

incapable of speaking two consec- utive sentences while on their feet, profeu to despise orstbory and all orators, Lord Tweedsmuir, who has read history, would never do that. I-Ie knows that the story of oratory, moving men singly or ln the mass, ts largely the story of freedom; that from Perlcles to Lincoln, and on down through the ‘kneatest of classical orators alnce, the spoken word has been the principal agency in achlevementl and consolidation of liberty.

Lord Tweedsmuir remarked that

these were bad days for the orator. What, he meant was that the orator was essentially is product of his age, of an age when the range of the human voice was the llmlt of a speakers appeal. Today. with broadcasting, Mr. Baldwin probably reaches ln one speech more people than Mr. Gladstone addrered throughout the whole of his life. And broadcasting, of course, de- mands a. different technique Not- withstanding this, Lord Twee..’trnulr doesnt think the reign cf the orator over. -

“You will never quite do away

with the reign of the personal or- ator. You wlll always hi-ive Parlia- ment; you will always have the,ef- fect produced by certlan public meetings held at a. key moment.”

Coming to ‘ro other classes of

speech, the "excessively prosaic" manner, and the “mixed style” of argument and emotion, Lord Tweedsmuir was equally sensible. There are those who, all for what they ca‘l the “conversational style" ln speaking, think such a method easy of achievement. It lsn`t. Lord Balfour, cited as an example by Lord Tweedsmuir. did achieve lt, but between Balfour, subtle, pene- trating, witty, master of his sub- ject, and the halting, commonplace, pedestrian English of the average "conversational" speaker, there was nl world of difference.

The point of the thing ls that

there is danger ln simplicity, too. The danger of its being confuged with drsbness. The speaker who knows and can use’ the inevitable word, who can marshal sentences logically and correctly, wlll. lf he knows his subject. always speak pleaslngly. But a mere shunnlng of rhetoric ls not enough.

There` ls Mr. Lloyd George. Mr.

Lloyd George tg not, strictly speak- tng, im orator; not an oratvr ln the sense that Chatham wus, or Bright or Gladstone. But while he avoids the "proud full sail,” or is incapable of tt, lt Ls not "simplicity" nor s ‘conversatlonbl style" that makes htm great. It ls his ability to wrap up a truth tn an Image to speak ii. shining, vlvld phrase.

So with that much over-worked

virtue-brevlty. Brevtty is n fine thing, but lt ls not an end ln lt- seI'. when Lord Curzon delivered his famous address on "Eloquence" before the students of Cambridge University, he a_y:_arded the palm for modern Etngllsh eloquence to Lineolrrs speech at Gettysburg. It was A speech of exactly 104 words, uttered in two minutes. Unfortun- ately, not all of .us uc Ltncolns, nor do the subjects we have to deal with always approximate Gettysburg. There an subjects which, complex, demand conslderlblg exposltlon, in which one hrevlty, 1 fetish with no many, becomes relative. . ‘

.tts contlnulty for as the books are read they 'can be exchanged for new ones so that there ls a fresh con- tinuous supply Of books always within reach. The Camegle Lib- rary now has branches tn many -parts of the provlnoe and books are available through the branches to all the rural schools.

The growing fondness of child-

ren for books has already been noted by many. For example, four children in one family. the young- est -_'our years and the oldest eleven or twelve, vlslt one of the branches daily and sit quietly by a table, each reading his or her own fav- ourite book. The young- est, who of course la unable to read, ls just as busy pondering over the pictures and no doubt longing for the time when he can read the wonderful stories that the pictures suggest. He ls thus developing a fond.ne.ss for books which will form it part of his character and which will remlan with htm as long as he lives. The older ones although still young have already acquired o love of reading from which they derive both pleasure and profit. It is a mistake to think that children too young to read are idly and curiously looklng at pictures. They ers studying them. bulldln-g their ovm stories around them. drawing their ln'erences from them and thus learning to thlnk and to form their own conclusions. To them the fpicture represents something real and life like.

It ls also 9. mistake to think that

time ls wasted by children lookins over or reading picture or other books instead of studying their school-lessons. It ls far from being wasted. The pldtures and little stories enable them to think and thus help them in studying their school lessons. The young mind, ns well as the young body requires cal- istlienlcs or exercise. confined to the strict left/er of the school les- son, the mtnd becomes narrowed and dwarfed just as the bod ls cnfeebled without exercise.
