Streets And Highways

The conflict between the use of Pro- vincial roads as through liigliways on the one hand and as urban streets on the oth-i er has come up in Quebec and seemingly been decided in favour of the latter use. A delegation from Thetford Mines waitedl upon Premier Duplessis to protest againsti a highway being re-routed around instead of directly through the city's business dis- trict.

Perhaps the fact that the delegation was headed by a colleague in his cabinet made it difficult for the Quebec premier to give a different answer, because the arguments for using streets as streets and highways as highways are weighty indeed. Taking the extreme case of the highways being continuously built-up. There could he no traffic moving faster than is prac- tical within an urban community. speeds would inevitably take a very high toll indeed in lives of both young and old.

it is questionable, too, whether the Pro- vincial taxpayer should shoulder the bur- den of street construction which, after all, is comparable to maintaining the farmerls private lane. If the Province provides con- venient access to a community it would seem to be up to local authorities to deal with streets and sidewalks as well as oth- or urban services. Utilizing a Provincial highway as a street, in fact, greatly in- creases the cost of providing other neces- sary services.

The contrary argument is. of course, that it is desirable that traffic should pass

the door of local merchants, the presump- tion being that if it.could take a direct

route to its destination the merchants along the way would lose trade. There is a point there but heavy through traffic does not necessarily mean more trade. Far more people can stop and buy if they have a chance to pull off the main highway than in the full flood of traffic.

Eilucatioiial costs

It has not taken long for New Bruns-, wick's Royal Commission on school grants

to learn that the grants are not large enough. Initial testimony was unanimous in holding that there was too much of a burden on the municipal taxpayer. This Province has for some years gone on the principle that substantial aid rather than emergency assistance should be given by the Province to the school districts. Even Provincial resources, however, are inade- quate in the eyes of many to provide the standard of education to which Canadian children should be entitled.

There are two difficulties in the way of federal contributions to primary and secondary education. One is that educa- tion is constitutionally a Provincial mat-

tor and that the Provinces, to a greater oi"

less degree, object to federal control which might follow federal financing. The other

is the desirability, pointed out in the Mat-,

thews report on Charlottetown schools, of maintaining local interest in the schools.

The latter is, of course, highly import- ant. The schools function within the com- munity and their success depends in no small measure on intelligent co-operation between parent and teacher in the task of preparing the child to take his or her place in the adult world. All too often the par- ent hah little conception of what the school is trying to do or how it attempts to go about it. The school, on the other hand, when the unit of administration be- comes too large, is in danger of losing touch with the parents and their hopes and ambitions for the child.

It would be ideal, perhaps, if federal funds could be made available for education generally but the administration kept on a Provincial and local basis. It would be one more field in which vigilance would be needed to prevent the decay of local organization and the dominance of central authority but with the experience gained in other fields, such as agriculture, which successfully combine a national and local approach the difficulties should not be in- surmountable.

com-i panies and the like are even more widely! dispersed. The result, as Mii. Lawson says, is confusion, inefficiency and unnecessary expense.

It might not be practicable to bringi all of them together under one roof. But" Mr. Lawson thinks enough of them would be willing to pool their forces to justify the construction of a 55 million, eighteen-f storey Canadian building in, presumably,f the midtown area. Government and bust-i ness rentals would make it possible to erect and operate such a building on a strictly commercial basis, with private com- icupying most of the space.

New Yorkers who have dealings with l'Canada, or plan a trip to this country,- would certainly welcome an arrangement lWlliCll would enable them to attend to all ; the detailsin one building. Canadians vis- liting New York would be no less grateful. Quite apart from all this, notes the Globe and Mail, there is the matter of prestige. Now that it has become the home of the jljnited Nations, New York closely rivals iloondon as a world capital. In such a city, lthis Dominion should be represented by a .building which elicits general recognition I and respect.

The conviction on a charge of man- slaughter in Ontario based on that parking of a truck on the highway without lights should effectively direct public attention to the danger of this practice. With mod- ern'traffic, an obstruction is not merely a nuisance, it is a very serious threat to the 3safety of users of the highway.

Loyalty to their organization is being stressed by the Prince Edward Island Fish- ermen's Association. This is, of course. of cardinal importance in the success of any group that hopes to accomplish any- thing for its members The other side of the coin is the equal importance of an organization accurately reflecting the opin- ions of its membership. If the fishermen attain both objectives, their Association will indeed be a power in the land.

"it; must. be remembered that till railway communication with the Capes is established, that. route cannot be made available for the transport of goods either to or from the Island: and, therefore. the steamer required at. the Capes is only such I one as can quickly ferry passengers across. and test the practicability of keeping up constant communication with the outside world at those points."
