Transport Board Hearings
At the hearings before the Board of Transport Commissioners last week the issue with regard to railway operation over the Hillsboro Bridge was very clearly joined. Counsel for the Railway maintained that continuation of the service was un- warranted economically. They denied any obligation on the Railway to use and main- tain the bridge in perpetuity, and the quest tion of servicing the public was apparently secondary-to the question of dollars and cents involved in contributing to the con- struction and maintenance of a new bridge. admittedly now required as part of the Trans-Canada Highway programme. g
The Provincial Government maintains, on the contrary, that "poor service breeds lack of use" and that the lack of revenue complained of by the Railway in connec- tion with this service is due primarily to the poor facilities it has provided. Several witnesses, including Premier Jones himself. testified to the fact that the present day service to the Murray Harbour section is more backward than it was in years gone by. It was shown conclusively that this section of the Province is a progressive and prosperous one, despite the poor rail- way service, and that there is no legiti- mate reason for abandoning the Bridge line permanently, especially as the farmers of the community are peculiarly dependent on railway transportation.
It would appear that the Railway auth- orities are using the Bridge issue as a means of forcing the Provincial "Govern- ment's hands in the matter of their pro- posal for bus and truck licenses. This yvas evident in the correspondence tabled and in the arguments presented, and it is one which doubtless will not be lost sight of by the Transport Commissioners. The fact is that the long-standing grievance of the people in the eastern part of this Province over the inadequacy of the railway service- is one of the chief reasons why the Gov- ernment fears to place, in the same hands. any further monopoly of our transporta- tion facilities. The attitude of the Railway in the present case is not such ,as to in- spire confidence in its undertaking further responsibilities in a manner satisfactory to our taxpayers.
In the matter of the application for con- solidation into one zone of the two now ex- isting on the Island for railway freight purposes. there should not be much doubt as to the outcome. This question was gone into fully by the Royal Commission on Transportation, and the Commission re- commended explicitly that "it would be most desirable to have this request com- plied with." At the time this recommenda-
tion was made the application before the Board of Transport Commissioners was under consideration, but had not been set down for hearing. The Board is in duty bound to give due weight to the Royal Commission's finding. which could not br- cxprcssed in more concrete terms.

M.P.'s who have been talking about higher pay for their parliamentary labors, are now assured a temporary increase for this year. That's one result (says Th: Gazette Ottawa correspondent) of the Gov- ernment's decision to stage a full-dress full session 'of Parliament beginning Oct. 1. Members of Parliament will be entitled, if they have conformed, with the lax attend- ance rules, to a total of 38,000 in sessional lndemnltles, plus a 02,000 tax-free allow- once. made his announcement, members generally seemed pleased with the arrangements. The fall session will cost money. The 262 M.P.'s at s4,000 apiece, start the bill at more than 51,000,000. If Senate vacancies are filled between sessions and all senators attend next fall, their indemnitics will total an ad- ditional &408,000.' Estimates of the probable cost of the parliamentary staff required for
. fall sittings vary. But that cost item. too, will be very substantial.

The measure is a valuable one, as was found by veterans of the Second World War, more because of the ease of mind it gives to those on active service than for the actual placing of returned men when hostilities are over. In that respect it was found that a high proportion preferred to re-establish themselves in civil life in some other way than picking up where they left off before joining up.
As is inevitable, there are possible hard- ships when the rule is strictly applied. An employer for instance may well find that a succession of holders of a particular job go into the services one after another. It all wished to have that particular job back it could result in an impossible situation. Experience, however, shows that the theoretical difficulties seldom arise in prac- tice in any so difficult a form. The service- man knows that his old job is guaranteed but generally makes a point of finding something that is more to his liking.

Maritimers are not getting a fair share of defence contracts but much of the blame is their own. The initiative necessary to obtain the contracts is perhaps rightly weighed as an indication of probable in- itiative to bepshown in filling them. 0 O I Two "musts" for artistically inclined visitors-(1) Walk under the arcade of trees in Prince Street between Fitzroy St. and the Y. M. C. A.; and (2) visit the mag- nificently designed and well kept Belfast Cemetery. Nothing more beautiful and in- spiring can be seen anywhere. O O 0 Modern jurymen are fortunate compared with their earlier counterparts. Until re- cent times there was no such thing as their being discharged without reaching a ver- dict and still earlier they were deprived of food, fire and light until their duties were carried out. 0 Many of our readers will be in whole- hcarted agreement with at least one com- ment in the report of the Royal Commis- sion on Arts, recently tabled in Parliament, The cairns placed over Canada's historic sites, says the Commission, "have the mel- ancholy of an old graveyard without its charm.” '

Interest rates are on the up-turn, the Federal Govern- ment has raised the percentage of down- payment required and Resources Minister Winters has joined others in warning that the pinch of shortages of material may he more generally felt before the end of the

What's in a name when it does not touch the pocket: Handing the Dean of Salisbury a cheque for i2,310 (S6330) for the cathedral spire repair fund, the Mayor of Salisbury, Mr. H. E. Randall, said that although all towns named Salisbury over- seas had been asked to subscribe, not one had done so. The appeal, which has raised about i40,000 (fS120,000) will continue.

Arguments are being put forth. notably by the Winnipeg Tribune, that the propos- ed alternative vote in British Columbia would "do much to strengthen Parlia- ment." From the experience of states which have used the system it would seem rather that it would do far more to strengthen the Opposition, or rather the assorted parties which would return min- ority groups to Parliament.
John Constable, English landscape paint- er, was born this date 1776. As a boy he had omortunities of watching the movement of clouds, changes of wind, and play of light on water and foliage, and he sketch- ed them assiduously. He saw that a land- scape was beautiful only in proportion as light and shadow make it so and allowed the falsity of the old idea which made matter of primary importance. His many masterpieces include, "Cornfield", "Ham- stead Heath", "The Valley Farm" and "The Hay Wain".

The Senate Finance Committee, which has been giving Government spending a good going-over, has unearthed the in- formation that Canadian govemments-Do mlnlon, provincial and municipal -- will likely spend 55.000,000.000 this year. As- suming a population of 13,000,000 this amounts to 0384 for every man, woman and child in the country. Two short years ago the corresponding figures were 33,500,000.- 000 and 8269.

Graduates Can't Spell
Canadian employers feel the country's university graduates fall far. short of the mark in ”general education," an employment spec- ialist reports.
G.M. Morrison, chief of the Na- tional Employment Sex-vlce's ex- ecutive and professional division. told delegates to the sixth annual conference of university advisory services that the reaction of em- ployers is virtually the same ev- erywhere. -
"They tell me the graduates they get are woefully weal: in being able to express themselves. The students can't spell." i
He urged counselling and place-, ment service experts from 13 Can- adian universities to stress the importance of education in the humanities in an effort to correct this situation.
He felt there was little wrong -with the technical knowledge of university graduates but there was a. lack of general knowledge.
Describing the employment. pic- ture this year, the N. E. S. spokes- man said his office will undoubt- edly be able to place all graduates and undergraduate: It has on its rolls.
