I U ‘I lit also follows that her young, to all appearances wild reds, once they have reached maturity and started to raise families of their own, follow in their- mother's footsteps. Quite often the second cross will produce silvers or patches with maybe a red or two thrown in. The Game Act has been amended and all protection has been removed from foxes that raid pountry. Farmers may shoot such raiders on sight without fear of being involved in Court action with the authorities. The Game Act, however, does not allow any- one the privilege of roaming all over the countryside in search of foxes in close season. 'I‘oo many would be ready to take advantage of this concession to use it as an excuse to hunt valuable upland game birds.

Foxes une not the chief Q1. fendcrs in respect to alleged de- struction of game birds. True a fox will not t-urn down a chance for‘ a partridge or pheasant dinner ii the opportunity arises, but, as this columnist has pointed out in the past, does not depend on gnime birds for sustenance, it‘ they did, it would be just too bad for our game birds. ’l)hcrc arc thousands of foxes on tltc ltmse in the Province and if such was the case there would be no game left in a few months.

During the summer and fall wild foxes cat a vast quantity of berries, wild fruits, grasshoppers, cricket-s, June bugs, etc. ‘Through- out the spring, summer and fall field mice constitute ‘their snafu meat ration. They still hunt mice during the winter but sonic- times deep snow and crusts pro- tact the mice in their grassy nests and they have to fall back on rabbits as the main source of supply.

Crows and skunks are very fonici of eggs and spend all spring and early svmmer in search of this delicacy. Home cats account for thousands of fledgling game birds every season and hswe been kFlOWXI to carry home full grown snipe, woodcock and llungarlm partridge. They have on occasion been known to kill full grown pheasants. Some years back a sur- vey among game associations and individual observers in Canada and the United States elected the common house cat as wiidlifos publidenemy No. 1. e o e .

Sometimes we wonder just how sincere hunters are when they de- cry the destruction of game by predators. About a month ago a hunter's boat was searched by a member of the R. C. M. Police whenvhe rowed ashore from his hunting ground. In the boat the officer found 6 black ducks (the season was open) and two red foxes. He told the officer that he shot the foxes to protect valuable game birds. A few minutes later the officer found 4 Hudscmian Godwit in his possession, birds so rare and so close to the boarder of extinction that they have been on the protected list for 3i years. This hunter evidently figured if the foxes got them it was terrible but if he got them it was perfectly okay. Needless to say this hunter was prosecuted on two charges as the season was not open on lose! at the time of the seizure. o e e -

In respect. to our present crop of wild foxes everyone is in accord that something should be done to cut down on their numbers. Once the price of their pelts reaches a

vincial Department of Agriculture will pay the sum of ten dollars . for every red fox pelt killed in season. i110 pelt to become property of the Government. such a move would go a long way i0- vvard easing the so-called fox menace. It would not be wise, in this columnistfs opinion to include silvers or blacks. or even crosses. as there are too many of this type confined in ranches and there might be a general unloading of ranch foxes at the expense of the Government. It is this columnist/s conviction that the payment o! a general bounty on foxes is not the solution to the problem.

0f llis Former Leaders To Die

BY RUSSELL BREE!

TOKYO, Nov. l2 — (AP) .- Death on the gallows was decreed today for l-Ildeki Tojo, the cold, calcuating Japanese who led his country to ruin in the world's bloodiest war, and six of his 2t top leaders.

Life imprisonment was meted out to l6 others, includllll Marquis Kochi Kido, close adviser to the Emperor.

Shigenorl Togo, foreign minister at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack. drew 20 years in prison. Peg-legged Mamoru Shigemitsu, the statasman who hobbled a- board the Unifed States battle- ship Missouri to sign the suurrend- er terms in Tokyo Bay, got seven years imprisonment“,

An Jl-power court tronvictcd all 25 defendants of war crimes. It sat for more than 2 1/2 years. but took only 21 minutes to read the sentences.

Sir William Webb of Australia, president of the court. pronounced the sentences in a deathly silflt and packed courtroom. Each man filed in separately and stood in an otherwise empty prisoner's dock l0 hear his sentence.

Toju lock‘ his death sent- ence with a wan‘smlle. He bowed politely to the court as did most of the other men. Seventy-four-year-old Gen. Jiro Minami, former war minister. seemed befuddled and surprised with his sentence of life imprison- ment. Gen. l-liroshi Oshlma, form- er ambassador to Germany, stood arrogantly as he was sentenced to life and stalked away without the polite hour.

Japanese greeted the sentences in varied ways. Some said they thought more would be hanged and others said they were sorry for the defendants.

Gen. MacArthur, Allied occu- pation commander, set Nov. 1D u the deadline hr petitions in be- half of the defendants to be sub- mitted to him as reviewing officer of the tribunals decision.

No date for the carrying out of the death sentences was set. A close guard was placed on all of the Japanese for fear some might try lo take their own lives.

Sentenced To Die

Sentenced to die were:

Former Premier Tojo, known as "The Razor“ during the war. The bald little man tried to commit suicide after the war but Ameri- can blood plasma saved his life.

Gen. Jenji Doihara, 04. the Japanese undercover expert in China and Manchuria. He was

nicknamed "The Bird of Evil O- men" by the Chinese and helped to seat Henry Pu-Yi on the puppet throne of Manchuria.

Former Premier Koki I-Iirots, a career man who was present at the pro-Pearl Harbor conference of former premiers when war plane were laid.

Geri. Selshiro ltagaki, former war minister and ranking Kwan- tung army officer at Mukden in the i931 incident that. started the Asiatic v/ar.

Gen. Heltaro Kimura. vice- minister of war throughout Tojds premiership and a former Man- churian army chief.

Gen. lwane Matsui. who com- manded Japanese troops in the rnpe nf Nanking.

Lt-Gen. Akira Muto. army chief of staff in the Philllppines.

Banaillan Press story Told By Mr. Nichols

TORONTO. Nov. 13 -(CP) - Forty years ago the distributional news in Canada. was a railway monopoly. Today the basic supplier of news to alrmost all daily news- papers is a $l,000.000-a-year co- operative, with world-gtrdllng con- nections, which they operate them- selves.

That transition from monopoly to co-operatlon. from external con- trol to complete independence, is the subject of “(CPl the story of the Canadian Press." lust publish- eci here (by the Ryerson Press). The author is M. E. Nichols of Vancouver, retired managing dir- ector of the Vancouver Daily Prov- ince and before that of the Winni- peg Tribune. No one is better equipped to do the lob. Mr. Nichols wa-s one of the prime movers in the newspaper - versus - railway cam- paign which brought formation in 1917 of Canada's only national news agency. He was president of OP from 1931' to 1933 and a CF director for many years.

Reviews Progress In Vocational School iiourses

"This winter, for the first time in its history, Prince Edward ls- land will have n real vocational school (EUFFlULllUlTI integrated with the general educational pro- gramme of the Province," slated Dr. Lloyd Shaw. Deputy Minister of Education, in an interview yes- terday.

Previous vocational training in this Province was set up and maln- talued for veterans exclusively. Mr. Shaw explained. Last February, however, some civilians were brought in to fill out the dwind- ling classes of veterans. As far as la known. the need for veterans‘ vocational training has now ceas- ed.

The vocational Courses offered this season will follow closely. both in instruction and personnel, the pattern worked out last win- ter. "As this ls the first operating year for the new programme. the courses offered have been arrang- ed with a view to determining popular demand in the various fields." stated Dr. Shaw. “Changes may be made where indicated and f can foresee the establishment of night classes should the demand arise."

Different Types Two types of courses are pro- vided for and might be classed for convenience as the "long" and the "short". The first or long course, is under the provisions of the Domin- ion-Provincial vocational schools assistance agreement and includes a six-month course in carpentry, Charles Hamrn, Charlottetown. in- structor; elementary electrlcity, L. LcBlanc, Sydney. N. S.; plumbing and pipe fitting. Matthew Lee, Charlottetown; bldcksnilthlng, Lloyd O'Brien, Alberton. It is ex- pected that these courses will commence on 1st. Dec. A similar course in brlcklaying and plaster- ing under the instruction of George Olive, Charlottetown, will commence on 4th. Jan. A new feature on the Island is the selection of unemployed per- sons for these courses. thereby providing training opportunities never before available. Sclcction ls carried out lly a joint committee of the National Employment Service and educational authorities. No tuition fees will be charged for the above courses and tools and materials will be provided free. hut students will be required to provide their own living expenses.

Short Courses

Three short courses will com- mence on the 4th. of Jan. under the provisions of the Dominion- Provincial Vocational Training Agreement. The first, a six-v/eeks course for young women in Home Management vvill be under the dir- ectlon of Miss Doris Anderson. Si. Peters, and will include home man- agement, cooking. sewing, home nursing and health. A second course may he offered if there are sufficient applicants. Miss Anderson, a graduate of Acadia, is supervisor of home eco- numlcs for the Province and has been working throughout the Is- land in conjunction with the Red Cross and Women's Institutes. While her short courses this sea- son will be confined to her present quarters in‘ Prince of Wales Col- lege, it is intended that the top floor of the addition i0 the Vo- cational Wing, which ls being com- pleted, will eventually be given over to Home Economics. Two six-u-cck courses will be offered In agriculture and farm mechanics with a four-u eek course in grading and packing of eggs, details of which will he announ- ced later. Mr. Robert Snazelle, De-

Reports Canada Needs Larger Mental Hospitals

BOSTON. Nov. 12 -—(CP) - Canada. requires an additional 27.- 000 hospital beds and more than 100 new clinics to cope with the problems arising from mental ill- ness, G.D.W. Canseron. deputy min- ister of National Health, said here today.

In an address prepared for de- livery to the health officers‘ section of the American Public Health As- sociation, Dr. Cameron reviewed the national health program an- nounced last winter.

His statement that the country needs 27.000 more beds in mental institutions was based on the es- timate that 5.75 beds are required for each 1.000 of the population. He said these cases included the mentally ill, mentally deficient and eplleptlcs.

"As in other countries, the prob- lems arising frown mental illness are particularly acute in Canada and are complicated by serious shortages of all types of trained personnel and facilities for instit- utional care." he declared.

“On the basis of one health clinic for every the population. more clinics are still required the need of the provinces. "Because of the seriousness of the problem. as compared to tub- erculcsis, the formula for mental health grants goes much beyond that for tuberculosis control."

The health program provide-s for an initial grant of 34.000000 for mental health v'or‘.:. with three in- creases of $1,030,000 at two-year intervals.

"The two most immediate prob- lems. . ..are the provision of addit- ional beds and the training of psychiatric and other staffs," he said.

Free treatment was available to 96 per cent of all tuberculosis pat- ients in Canada in 1947, compared to 73.4 per cent in i938, Dr. Canner- on said.

"All patients now are treated free by statute in Alberta. Saskatche- wan. Manitoba, New Brunswick and Nova scotia," he explained. In the other provinces only a small num- ber of patients were required to pay any part of their treatment.

mechanics will include instruction in care and repair in farm mach- inery, tractors, cars and gas en- gines, harness repairs and ls de- signed i0 fit in with the classes in the long courses in carpentry, elec- tricity, pipefitting. blacksmithing. woodworking and brlcklaylng.

An allowance of $5.00 per week will be given those who success- fully complete the short courses, to assist in living expenses.

Dr. Shaw stated that lie feels that all education is vocational in the sense that it is used to provide the means of earning a living. "Vo- cational School is not in competi- tion with the present schools, but rounds out a system which was not before complete,‘ he added. "On the other hand. it ls not to be expected that finished trades- men will be turned out at the end of a course. Rather Li. is hoped that students will have a good foundation to equip tlicm for fur- ther advanced courses or on-tlie- job training."

Building Extension

The addition which is presently being built to the Vocational Wing. will provide further accommoda- tion for these new courses. The basement will house the brick- laying, plastering and tlacksmlth- ing and other class-rooms will be provided for instruction in prac- tical farm-accounting. English. mathematics and facilities for a more general education along prac- tical llnea for those taking the courses \vho may require them.

The buildings and expenses of this vocational programme are provided for by an annual basic grant of $10,000 to each Province under the Vocational School Agree- ment with the Dominion Govern- ment. Thereafter. stated the De- puty Minister. the costs are met about equally by the two govern-
