That Prince Edward lsland will bgqgme a great source of bacon ling-breeding stock and that the lsland strain of Yorkshire will hold a prominent, if not indeed a dominant place iii the liogroising industry across Canada, i; lire view expressed in a well-documented article on the subject by Mr. R. D. Colquette, editor of The Country Guide. Mr. Colquctte visited here

_ recently for the purpose of writing up lsland hag

breeding for his journal, which is published in Winnipeg and has a wide circulation in Western Canada. The result is a fine piece of publicity for Prince Edward lsland and our hog producers and officials, who have scored an outstanding success in raising hog quality standards.

Mr. Colquettc did not have far to seek for the reason. "The entire Province," he writes, "is under a self-imposed policy of breeding which has produced o distinct lsland strain of York, hcis run the proportion of Grade A hogs up to 50 per cent and promises to make the Province o great source of Yorkshire breeding stock for this Dominion. All this has not been accom- plished without restrictive laws, departmental regulations and collective acquiescence. But make no mistake about it, these lslandcrs are rugged individualists. Call it paternalism, bur- eaucracy, regimcntation or what you will, it doesn't prevent them_from sticking up for their rights. 75 per cent of thc people are an the land and they control the destinies of the Prov- ince. . Throughout the Province, however, the breeding of purebred hogs is run as if it were a single great breeding establishment, with Mr. H. W. Clayfofficer in charge of the Federal Livestock Field Services for P. E. l., in complete control. By common consent the breeders fol- low his ailvire and instructions, because they trust him and respect his judgment."

Mr. Colquette reviews the development of the Yorkshire breed by lsland farmers over the pasi quarter century, noting that the first step had been to icstiiri the prize money for pigs at

than one occasion on non-partisan national is- sues, and it constitutes a great stabilizing influ- ence in our British democracy. The stronger and more active the Legion branch in each com- munity is, tho better for all concerned. .

Primarily, however, the Legion is the voice of our air-servicemen, speaking unitedly with- out thought to party, creed or race. Whether they be active members or not, all enjoy the ad- vantages the Legion has gained, and it is with this thought in mind that the local branch makes rts present active membership appeal. lt is one to which the attention of all our war veterans is respectfully directed.

Legion Membership Appeal

.___.___..____.__-

The Charlottetown Branch of the ‘Canadian Legion, B. E. S. L. will hold a three-day mem- bership drive next weak. The branch has an enrollment of ovcr one thousand and the cam- paign objective is to enroll all ex-servicemen as active paid-up members.

It would be superfluous here to list the great amount of good done by the Legion in the past. Nowhere can it be said have err-serv- icemen enjoyed o fuller program for rehabilita- tion than in this country. This has been due in no small measure, to the activities of the Leg- ion which has done and is doing‘ everything in its power to see that veterans enioy all the rights and privileges possible on their return to civil life.

it is felt that these benefits must be re- tained and further advancement made, particu- larly in the matter of employment and iii

providing for disabled veterans, widows and dependents. It seems only right and just that servicemen in peace, as in war,

should stand together and work in the common _ interostlfor the good of all.

Mr. E. R. Hopkins has advised the External Affairs Committee of the House of Commons that the government's legal advisors are_satis- lied that should the U. N. Security Council ask members to impose economic and diplomatic sanctions, the government could comply. This implies that the government's legal advisors consider that they can classify sanctions as be- Eng each a Dominion matter. if sanctions MB coiled for in matters which pertain to the provinces, then only the provinces can give ef- fect to them. The experts must be convinced that in practice, the sanctions called for will be such as come under Dominion jurisdiction.

ln reviewing Canada's history in anticipa- tion' of its 80th birthday on July I next, the Royal Bank Monthly Letter says: Canada has made wonderful progress in her 80 years of fed- eration, and has at least as good prospects of an equal shore of advancement in the next 80 years. She has broken through frontiers of geography and climate and philosophy and custom to reach her prescnt position: today she is leading in attempts to breach old-time pre- judice and selfishness and insularity so that world economic reconstruction and stability may march side-by-side with political peace. This country, of all in the world, hos a good chance to make good in its constructive efforts, and in this country, if anywhere on the globe, is oppor- tunity: not alone because of the natural re- sources of which we are so prone to boast, but because here of all places there is a sane, bol- ancod way of life in which to develop nature's -and our individual-gifts. We cannot look back, this 80th birthday, on the post as a pageant which_cal|s merely for applause and gratification. As the procession of the years passes in review this July First, each year deck- edvith its crown of laurel leaves for achieve- ment and its chapiet of rosemary for memories, we must not forget that i947 will take its place in the cavalcade. This year and years to come nuigt not he unworthy.
