.The shadow of death that can emerge from the atom's nucleus now hangs heavier than ever over all humanity. Summing up this problem in the light of Premier Malen- kov's announcement that the Soviet Union now has the hydrogen bomb, the New York Times says that the news, though. unpleas- lant. is clearly no ground for hysteria or panic of any sort. The grim possibilities before humanity were clear from the time the first atomic bomb was exploded in 1945. From the military point of view, the hydro- gen bomb and the atomic bomb are alike in being supremely effective instruments of mass destruction and death. The essential' lpolitical problems are not changed by the news from Russia, and the need forgtheir solution' was as urgent before as it is now.

That the Soviet Union would be able to l ,- produce a hydrogen bomb, if one were at ' tall feasible, has been virtually unanimous- ly agreed by nuclear scientists, who have pointed out time and again that the basic principles involved are well known. What does come as a surprise is the rapidity of the development, since, so far as can be judged from public information, it was only

Mr. Dye has not allowed a bi-iei sojourn in the United States to divert his attention from the pol. itlcal situation in the Old Coun. try. He still believes that the pm. sent Government would have a fifty-fifty chance of success in the event of an election this year which he considers a likelihood. And if Sir Winston should retire mean- while he thinks that the estimate might have to be revised dovin. wards.

Churchill Anniversary

Tlic people of this Province an .....ed for many things. but heretofore they have not been given credit for the gift of pro- phecy which the little community now known as Churchill exemplified fifty-three years ago today. On that date, August 15, 1900. they petitioned the Government at Ottawa to establish a Post Office between Bonshaw and New Haven on the Tryon Road, to be called Churchill after a brash youth named Winston Spencer Churchill, an English war correspondent who had' mnclc .1 sensational escape from the Boers, and who, in their humble opinion, was cer- tain to win greater distinction.

The little group that met in the tailor shop just below Mr. Dan MacKinnon's pre- sent home were. it is believed, the first in the Empire to pay tribute of this kind to

Most of the older participants in this rvcnt have passed away. but Mr. Dan Mac-p Kinnon, who was present as a small lad in; his uncle's tailor shop at the time, remcm-' bcrs all that took place and has. saved a copy of the minutes of the meeting, and other records, to prove the. authenticity of the story.

It is interesting to note that 1900 was the year in which young Churchill.pub- lished an account of his Boer War experi- enccs under the title of ”London to Lady- smitb via Pretoria", and in which he was first elected to Parliament as Conservative member for Oldham. It. was an important year in the annals of a rising political,- siar; but there were many rival claimants to fame and it remained for the people of' Churchill, P.E.l. to sense its true signifi-I cance at that time. They can justly claiml to have anticipated history by writing onci of its most' illustrious chapter headings ini advance.

Important conference

v

The round table conference to be held at' Moncton on Monday between executive members of the Maritime Provinces Board of Trade and the Premiers of the four At- lantic Provinces may well prove to be of -Ireat importance and significance. In addi- tion, other. Provincial Ministers who can at- tcnrl will be present. and will discuss infor- mally such imporiant matters as uniform liigliway codes. uniform standards of edu- cation, joint tourist promotion. develop- merit of industry and natural resources, and establishment. of a Maritime commit- to." to investigate the entire economy of the Atlantic Provinces. The Maritime Transportation Commission of the lVl.T.B.T. is also expected to join the ccnicrencc. fiaicr, it is expected. there will be further consultation between the Premiers and their respective Governments, with a view to co-ordinatcrl action on the subjects dis-

mal-s gone by. resulted in the appointment 5: the Duncan and White Commissions ,un- der which thc Maritimes obtained.a sub- stantial mcasure of redress of their then axistinglgrievanccs. The value of joint act- .on on measures of mutual concern was proven conclusively at that time, and there is no doubt but that much further 91'0- zress can be made in the same direction. The idea” might be extended to include our Senators and House of Commons members from the four Atlantic Provinces before the next session of Parliament. Surely it must be realized by now that the only

tree can make themselves heard at Ottawa is by speaking with .one voice. Tnis means that political differences should be merged and a member's usefulness rated. not ac- cording to his partisan zeal but his ability to work for the good of all.

The poetry of Robert Burns is increas- ing in popularity in at. least one country in Asia. At a reception by literary nota- bilities in Pekin, Mr. Emrys Hughes, M.P. for South Ayrshire, turned to the Chinese poet Yuan Shui-Pu and asked "What do you know about British poets?" "Oh," came the reply, "I translated Burns." Mr. Hughes returned home with two copies of the Chinese translation, one of which he presented to the curator at Burns Cottage Museum. The Museum now contains trans- lations of Burns in Gaelic, Danish, French, German, Russian and Chinese. The .Chl- nese version was printed first in 1950.

CAR FERRY PIPER

SIT,-'Il1 order to have an unique and bizarre attraction for tour- ists. why not try out a good piper on the car ferry Abegweit? The pipe music and brilliant uniform of the piper always intrigues and interests most intensively those who have never had the privilege or pleasure of hearing or seeing the Highland pipes. It ought to be worth a tryout. There are quite a number of fine looking and good pipers here.

EARLY IMMIGRANTS

Sir,-For important rensoiis 1 would like to recall the career of George MacKay (pronounced Mac- Kle) a boy of 15 who came here without his parents, but in the

same name. They left A port. in Sutlierlandshlre. Scotland. to find

.a home at what is now Clifton in

New London. P. E. 1. He must have had some courage. energy and enterprise. for 10 years later he was able to make a home on the farm just'cast of the one now oc- cupied by Mr. Murray MacK::;.'.

On this farm with his wife Annic Macintosh their 10 children grow up to go out to make homes for themselves. when perhaps around 60 he left the farm to carry on a general store a few feet iiorih of where the new United Church now stands. He did not attain to old age but was cut off. I would say in his 60's.

A great killer in those days was appendicitis which no surgeon un- derstood, but gave to it some oili- cr name. His son William (Billie squire) then carried on the busi- ness and later his son George for I few years. I never saw the elder man but am told that .,he was a magistrate and called by some. "Mighty George". Likely he was a terror to evil doers. I heard his wife speak of him employing sev- eral men for work. and of having something alcoholic for them to drink. But she always opposed this and dreaded the results.

The year of their coming to this country was 1815. and they were over taken by another sail- ing vessel and told that Napoleon Bonaparte, a. few weeks before, had been defeated in the Battle of Waterloo. News travelled very slow- ly in those days.

But to follow the career of those 10 children. Flora married Archi- bald' MacKinnon of Graham's Road. Their great grandson Or- wel McKinnon owns the same farm. Besslumarried John Macxenzle of Springfield. At this date Aug. 9.
