The New Government

Following the resignation satur- day of the Lea Govemment, the Hon. J- D. Stewart, Premier-elect. submitted to His Honour the Lieutenant Governor the cabinet recommendations and at noon the new ‘Government took the oath of office.

Realizing the importance of get- ting immediately in touch with the Federal Government in the matter of unemployment relief for this Province, Hon. Mr. Stewart will make this his first concern, and on ‘Tuesday, accompanied by Hon. Dr. MacMillan, will proceed to Ot- tawa for a conference on this ques- lion.

_ This is a good beginning and a promising augury. Action, prompt and vigorous, is expected of a gov- prnment constituted, as the Stewart Government is, of men of outstanding executive ability. 0f Its members the Premier, as Pres- ldent of Council and Attorney General, holds the office which he tilled with signal success under the previous Stewart administration. I-Iis knowledge of legislative affairs Ind his administrative ability and experience are, of course, invalu- able assets to the Province at the present time.

I The Minister of Public Works, Hon. Leonard MacNeill, is the son of a former head of that depart- ment, the late Hon. James A. Mac- Neill, and is a prominent and suc- cessful business man in Summer- Iide. He has been repeatedly el- ected a. member of the Town Coun- cil of Summerside and has held the important position of chairman of the Finance Committee of that Council. _

Hon. G. Shelton Sharp, the new Minister of Agriculture and Pro- vincial Treasurer, entered the Leg- islature last year by defeating his Liberal opponent in a constituency which had been consistently Lib- eral since Confederation, and at the last general election scored an- other triumph in the same district. ‘Apart from politics, he occupies an outstanding position in the D0- minion of Canada as president of

the Canadian National Fox Brccd- y

ers Association, to which position he was recently elected for a. sec- ond time. This organization is one of the largest and most influential ‘of its kind in the world, and its affairs have been admirably ad- ministered by Mr. Sharp, who brings the experience thus gained to bear upon the problems in the

agricultural department of the Province. Moreover, his qualifica-

tlons as a practical farmer compare favorably with the best in Canada, he having succeeded not only as c live stock breeder but in mixed farming as well.

‘ Of the qualifications of Hon- Dr. MacMillan, to whom has been al-

f Iotted the new portfolio of Health

and Education created by the

Saunders Government but left un- Iilled by that administration, it is

scarcely necessary’ to speak. Dr. MacMillan is known throughout the length and breadth of the Province for the interest he has taken in the dual departments which he is now called upon to direct. As a member of the Char-

_. lottetown School Board and for- Imer

-- ember of the Provincial bard of Education, he has thor- oughly familiarized himself with bur school and university problems generally, while in the matter of public health he has been for lnmy years Health Officer for Charlottetown, and has been close- ly identified with the Red Cross cud Anti-Tuberculosis Societies, with crippled children's clin- ‘is, and with the Children's Aid

. Society. As president of the latter . organization he has been in very ' blocc contact with the problems of welfare, which will have to “be dealt with by the department hrvziundqahfl. mach

MONDAY, AUGUST 31. 1931

The other members of the Gov- ernment arc also men of Plumm- ence and ability. The Hon. H. Frank MacPhec, a war veteran and former Minister of Public Workl. ls a distinct acquisition to the cab- inet- Mr. MacPhee, owink to pres- sure of professional business, was

unable to accept the portfolio he previously held, but remains a

member of the Gflvemmefli- The ability of Hon. A. F. Arsenault, also a member of the former Stewart Government, is well known. The

same might be said for the Hon. H. D. MacLean, who holds the unique distinction of having been return- ed at every election since his entry into politics in 1915, and is thus the “father" of the legislature; the Hon. Walter MacKenzie, who has achieved a wide reputation as a. live wire in agricultural affairs and in the fox industry; and the Hon. Matthew Wood, farmer, fox rancher and trader, whose popu- larity was well indicated by the record vote which he polled against his opponent the Hon. Russell Clark at the last election. Altogether, the new Government is one of the strongest that has ever been brought together to rule the destinies of this Province. The fact that it is in full accord pol- itically with the Federal Govern- ment is also an important factor in its favor, as it will insure that harmonious co-operation between the two governments which is par- ticularly important to this P:ov_ lnce at the present time.

Today's Big Event

The center of provincial interest today is the TYRES-Canada. Air Pageant at the Upton Airport. It is going to be a wonderful event, and our citizens, one and all, should make it a point of seeing this unique Spectacle. We have al- ready instanced the success which m9 Pageant has met with in other Provinces. Prince Edward Island, after today, will_ be definitely on the map as an air port. This is a big forward step, and adds 1m- mensely t0 the importance of the Programme this afternoon.

To the distinguished visiting fliers we extend a cordial welcome, and trust that in their brief visit they will find timeto make mutu- ally enjoyable social contacts.

A Striking Comparison

A few partisan newspapers throughout the country entertain themselves and amuse the public by charging the Bennett Govern- ment with doing nothing f0;- the relief of unemployment. If these Dropagandists wish to keep them- selves and their readers properly informed, suggests an exchange, they will compare the intense cg- forts made at Ottawa to provide work for the unemployed and m relieve distress during the coming cold weather season with the buck- wardness of the United States Gov- ernmcnt under similar conditions- While our Federal Government has its relief programme well under way and is already co-operating with the provincial governments, President Hoover is only now talk- ing about co-ordlnation of various relief groups for service throughout the United States. In a despatch dated on Saturday he is described as engaged in the preliminaries of a relief programme. He has ap- pointed a leading industrialist to keep in touch with charity workers all over the country, and there is no indication yet as to where the money necessary to afford employ- ment and relief is to come from

Ono has only to regard what. has already been accomplished m Can- ada to meet the emergent condi- tions of the coming autumn and winter to realize how far in this respect we are ahead of our neigh- bmcscrglcihc-bwdcr. v I ~

IIDTES BY TIIE WAY

A curiae ‘ in uu American cit! was forced to pay a fine because b9 had painted bu own house, so in- fringing the rules the unions hi4 laid down. He was not permitted to work on his own house after hours. The painters’ union objected. A man was fined in Ottawa recently for something which seems lust a- bout as foolish.

This man, it seems, when he drove to his Office in his car got into the habit of taking two or three of his neighbors along with him. He took them along as a. mat- ter of course. They lived alongside each other and as his car went down town empty, he took them with him. He charged them noth- ing for this neighborly act, but naturally enough they thought It only right from time to time to chipvln and help to pay his 88s. The street railway company hailed him to court, and he was fined ten dollars and costs for competing with the railway. And worse still. the company's solicitor announced that hereafter Iiarges will be laid against car owners who give a friend a lift, who othewise would use the street car. Next we will be hearing that it is unlawful to 10in a. neighbor the lawn mower when his own goes out of commission, or that the loan of a garden hose brings down punishment on the head of the too generous loaner. Great is civilization!

0n August 22nd, 1870, the first

sleeping car was operated on the Grand Trunk road. Pullman had started his sleeping car service in Illinois as early as 1854. It was in- deed, a prmitive affair. It was 54 feet long and 10 feet wide, lighted by candles and heated by a big pot-bellied stove, which made one end of the car unbearably hot and the other akin to a refrigerator. There were four berths to each car. The backs of the seats were hing- ed, the lower berth being made by simply dropping the back until it was level with the seat. Upon this were placed a. mattress and a blan- ket; no sheets. The upper berths were constructed with iron rods from the floor to the roof, suspen- ded by ropes and pulleys; no head- boards separated the berth. Flfty Years ago on Saturday last. fifty-six citizens of Dansville, New York, rhet with Miss Clara Barton t0 form the first chapter of the Red Cross ln the United States. Thirteen ofythe founders are living. Commemoration of the founding will be held September 9th. Presi- dent Hoover will speak over the radio in connection with the cere- monies.

Many Instances of Canadan buy- ing merchandise Qutside of the Do- minion which could be purchased in Canada on at least an equal price and quality basis have come to light in a survey recently made by the Produced-in-Canadu As- sociation in an effort‘ to arouse greater interest in Produced-in- Canada goods.

"A Canadian concern," the state- ment reads "has been manufac- turing and shipping a special paint to an American firm of paint manufacturers for some time at a price which provides a. very small profit to the Canadian company. In turn the American firm has been re-selling this product of the Cana- dian firm to Canadian v-DSIHIIEIS at an appreciable profit.

"In this particular instance Canadians are buying Produced-In- Canada. merchandise through an American channel when, by mak- ing inqulries, they could purchase the same product in their own country at a lower price.

Canadian business men, trave- lers for pleasure and trade com- missioners to Central‘ and South American countries are practically unanimous in the view that these “Old World lands of the New World" are more favorably inclin- ed towards Canadian than towards United States associations.

Mr. Justice Wright, in passing sentence on Lord Kylsant at the Old Bailey, had much to say of the rights of shareholders and inves- tors and of the duties of corpora- tion managers to people whose money they handle. This disser- tation would have been stimulat- ing reading for some of our own princes of corporation finance. 1n this country also “optimistic book- keeping" is not considered wrong by corporation executives whose interests are centred in the stock markets and not on their jobs. We profess to be able to teach Europ- eans how to manage their most im- portant affairs. But Mussolini end- ed ganglng in Italy and the British courts invariably send financial racketeers to jail. They act, £00. with almost lightening cwiftncsc.

Nearly fifteen years n80 Dr. A. I". Hess, New York, reiiiembc l._, that ‘rickits? softening of bones in children, was due to lack of sun- light. Bot the idea. that if artificial sunlight were used, it might per- vent this ailment. He used the mercury vapor lamp. _

His first efforts were not very satisfactory, although another re- search man was reporting good re- sults with these rays, but as he was giving lime or cod liver oil also. it was impossible to tell whether it was the lime and ood liver oil, or the artificial sun rays, the. t was helping these ‘rickity’ children.

However Dr. Hess began using these sun rays again, but at inter- vals he took an X ray picture of the youngsters bones, and in this way he was able to see whether or not these artificial rays were help- lng the youngster.

He took six youngsters with Just a mild degree of rickits, who had developed rickits on various diets- mother's milk and other baby foods. '

The treatment was given three times a week and continued for a period of two months. The entire body was exposed to the rays, at first for a period of three minutes, the length of exposure being gradually increased to . twenty minutes.

The number of red cnrpuscles (food carriers) in the blood in- creased in every case, as did also the richness of those red corpsucles.

Now you can see what an in-

crease in number and increase in

amount of food value is going to

mean to soft rickity bones.

In all cases, the rickits showed definite improvement, when a

picture was taken by means of the x rays.

Remember, these youngsters had of diet during this treatment; they still used the diets

under which the rickits had de-

veloped. This proves definitely salts which built

This doesn't mean that lime and

cod liveroil should not be used in these cases, because it has been shown by Dr. Hess and others that these also will build up bones even

without sunlight. The main thought is that sun-

shine is necessary, and it can be obtained during the months when there is less natural sunshine, and

the youngster is outdoors less, uny-
