Provincial Flower Show

”The Garden of the Gulf" con- stantly surprises visitors by remark- able easc with which it produces flowers of all kinds, a characteristic which is sometimes the dispair of the expert gardener. Not infrequent- ly a beginner can produce blooms which simply could not be improved upon.

Such an event. therefore as the Provincial Flower Show at Summer- side puts the expert very much on his or her mettle but the issue is even more doubtful than a horse race. From the point of view of the spectator it is pure gain that fine blooms can be expected to be en- tered even by those showing for the first time.

Of course. there is much in show- manship itself. Experience tells in the artful handling of an exhibit- All are familiar with the difference that skilful handling can make 9-0 a bouquet in the home. There is far more involved in presenting 8" ens try in a flower show to make the best possible impression on judges and spectators.

The Abegweit chapter of the I.O.D.E. has already organized five annual Provincial Flower Shows and the public has become accustomed to seeing a really outstanding dis- plgy, only part of the result of their efforts. however, are actually on view. Gardens throughout the Prov- ince are undoubtedly better Cami for and more ambitiously planned because of the chance PT0Vid9d at this show to compare Skins with those of others interested in DW ducing things of beautif-

Coniest For Prestige

From the London Daily Mirror comes an interesting account of an impending contest among four of the nation's famous firms for the opportunity to design and build the world's first really his 8t0m1c' powered ship. The proposed ship-C tanker-will be about as big as the Cunard Queen Mary and will cost in the vicinity of 530 million. The big prize is not so much the money involved as the prestige which th9 contract will confer.

On one side is the firm of John Brown of Clydebank, which built the world's biggest liners, the Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mary- Teamed with it is the powerful Hawker-Siddelcy group. builders of Britain's 4-jet H-bomb carriers. makers of guided weaP0h3 End 9" developers of revolutionary new air- craft including the flying saucer capable of 2,000

is the firm of Cammell Laird of Merseyside, builders of Britain's most famous warships. the Afk Royal of World War Two distinc- uon, her present namesake which is the pride of the Royal Navy and battleships like the Rodney and Prince of Wales. Allied with it is the engineering firm of Babcock and Wilson, which built the eight boilers now in use at the Calder Hall atom yawn station-the world's biggest.

the labs President Roosevelt in 1933. "To continue to recognize the soviet regime." the resolution noted, "is to enhance its prestige. add color of legitimacy to its criminal actions and strengthen the bondage in which its victims are hei ."

There is something to be said for this point of view. Even the Soviet leaders themselves have held up American recognition of Com- munist Government: as proof of their respectability. And there. doubtless, are millions of Asiatic and Africans who cannot understand why, if the Soviet Union is such as aggressive nation as the United States Government consistently says it is, official recognition is retained. The official Washington view, of course, is that withdrawal of recog- nition would not do anything to reform Soviet policy. while at the same time it would forbid to the United States first-hand knowledge of what is going on behind the curtain.

Curiously. however, the United States has never taken the same stand with respect to Communist China. And that is perhaps the most complex thing about the whole situ- ation. The Chinese regime cannot be any worse than the Soviet re- gime; and the consensus of Western diplomats seems to be that it is, if anything, a little more tolerant of civil liberties. Yet, the United States exchanges diplomatic courtesles with the one but not with the other. No one in Washington has ever ex- plained why. Nor, for that matter, has anyone in Ottawa ever explain- ed a somewhat similar puzziement

Yes And No

When 41 young Americans on holiday in Moscow decided to ac- cept an invitation to go on to Com- munist China, Mr. Dulles threatened them with dire punishment. He even hinted that they might be thrown into jail on their return home. A few days later he retracted his threat, having realized no doubt how ridiculous it was.

For years American reporters have been trying to get permission to travel to China. A week or so ago Mr. Dulles grudgingly submitted to their wishes, only to learn that Peiping authorities would not let them in unless Mr. Dulles granted permission for Chinese reporters to enter the United States. This, Mr. Dulles said, could never be. Now, only a few days later, he has chang- ed his mind on this issue. too. He is prepared, he says, to"consider applications" from Chinese news- men.

In all these things, of course, it is evident that Mr. Dulles has yield- ed, very reluctantly, to the force of public opinion. That may or may not be a good thins. depending on whether the Government's original stand was wise or foolish. But we may be sure that in Peiping it is being interpreted as a sign of weak- ness on Mr. Dulles' part and an in- dlcation of s cleavage between the United States Government and the public on all questions of relations with China. which of course it isn't by any manner of means. Once again. by saying "no" one day and "yes" the next, Mr. Dulles has SW9" Communist propltlhdm-5 the Wm” over something to cheer about.

Airbridge To Canada

Km Metherall. Canadian Press, London

Three immigrant aircraft will leave Britain for Canada. Aug. 31. signalling the end of the largest mass airlift in the history of civil aviation .

And 15 hours later when the ap- propriately-named Air Bridge to Canada has officially c I o s c d. some 17.600 British emigrants will have been ferried across the Atlantic to begin a new life in Canada.

Launched in mid-March at the

stigstion of the Canadian gov-

rnment, the ABC scheme was

esigned to clear a huge back- log of would-be emigrants then threatening to swamp normal transportation facilities across the Atlantic. The bridge was made up of M7 nights, which averaged just over 85 emigrants a flight.

LONG-RANGE EFFECT

"We believe we h av e done much more than break the trans- portation bottleneck." says W. N. (Bill) Homer. the 37-year . old Montreal airline executive who boned the airlift. "More import- ant. from the long-range view. is that we have clearly demon- strsted the market for mass transportation by air."

Only two Canadian air carriers -Maritime Central Airways and Wheeler Airlines-participated in the scheme. The majority of the flights were made by United States airlines. But Homer is con- fident the ABC scheme will prove a big boon to Canadian airlines. For most of the passengers the

night to Canada represented their first trip by air.

"They are no longer strangers to the air and that is a big factor in building up airline business. in a few years time many of the passengers on our flights will be thinking of holiday trips back to

Canada acts as a magnet to others.” PIONEERS

From an operation point of view, I-lorner's staff and the air- lines associated with them have chalked up two important firsts. Using high-density tourist cl-ass seating, as many as 136 persons were carried on some flights-s capacity that scheduled airlines do not envisage reaching until the 1960:. In addition, the operation has achieved the almost unpre cedenlcd load factor of 99 per cent. In normal airline operation. it is considered "exeptionally good" if its to 90 per cent of the total available seats are filled.

Even more remarkable. the load factor was achieved despite the use of a number of airlines. which meant widely differing pas- scnger check-in points and times of departure. The passengers booked passage with 1.400 travel agencies scattered across the United Kingdom and Ireland.

"All this has put a tremendous strain on the staff." says Horn- erls iiecretsry. Shirley Wilson of Ottawa. Overtime worked by.the

staff of 20 since March 15 has ml?

totalled more than 1,300 hours. The accounting staff has handled more than 82.000.000.

Not only has ABC ferried emi- grants to Canada. it has distri- buted them across the country- more than 6.650 terminated their nights at Toronto: 1.540 at Win- nipeg: 3.430 at Edmonton and 5.- 970 at Vancouver.

But the most significant fact about the ABC scheme is the cal- ibre of emigrant carried to Can- ada. More than 350 were gradu- ate englncers and the total of teachers and nurses only slightly less. Almost every passenger ros- ter Included doctors. geologists

Virus Cousins

A pair of virus cousins are striking more and more people down in ill health and death.

They cause a liver disease - virsl hepatitis. The late Senator Joseph McCarthy was a victim.

One of the cousin viruses strikes at the liver through con- taminated food or water. The other bits through transfusions of whole blood or plasma from someone who even unwittingly harbors the dangerous cousin in his bloodstream.

Each infects and liiflames the all-important human liver. bring- ing lever, nausea. weakness. s generally sick feeling, and late: the yellowish appearance of laun-

ENTRANCE 1800

Sir.- it may be of interest to those who have written "Ea- trance" examinations for Prince of Wales College to refer to the high marks made in 1900 by Elizabeth Noonan of Searletown- Albany. I find the record in the office of the Department of Ed- ucation sbows that she made a mark of 855 out of a possible 900-an average of 95 per cent. When I saw the marks obtain- ed by Lionel Gaudin of Stella Maris School at the last examin- ations I felt the young man do served hearty congratulations. He made 755 out of s possible 800-an average of 94.8 per cent and it was stated this record had not been surpassed.

Miss Noonan afterwards was Principal of the lfenslngton School and I was especially in- terested because I felt her aver- age was somewhat higher. Stella Maris School and North Rustlco well be proud of the high standing attained by one of their pupils.
