many parts of Canada may go to a special parliamentary: committee for public examination. Prime Minister Pearson first held to the view that since this formula was unanimously adopted at a federal-provincial con- ference. it should either be passed as

it is. or rejected by Parliament; but —

evidently he has had second thoughts | on the matter. This week he said in | the Commons that he considered de-

stituency requirements for this prov- |

inee, while Kings County's popu- |

lation falls short of the minimum. It»

will be recalled that Mr. Macquarrie, —

MP, gave a thorough review of these : Pa = November. He pointed out that if Kings constituency retained its name, it would have to include some of Queens County now in Queens cgn- stituency. while Prince would have to be shorn of some 8,000 of its popu- lation to qualify under the maximum constituency figures.

The adjustment of Queens had

dual riding, or two single ones, de-

mendation. The commission has pro- posed the latter course, and has sug- ‘gested renaming the ridings Cardi- gan. Hillsborough, Malpeque and Eg- mont. While our Island MPs have

reservations about these names, they |

all seem satisfied with the way the redistribution was handled. Naturally they want time to study the new boundariés more closely in terms of polling subdivisions before comment- ing in detail: e

Hard To Explain

- This week saw the march of 1,- 200 farmers on Parliament Hill to protest the depressed coridition ‘of eastern agriculture and the cost- price squeeze on farm producers. Specifically, they wanted support prices raised for the whole range of eastern agriculture products from eggs to sugar beets.

DURING HIGH SCHOOL

Sir,—1 read with: interest a letter in The Guardian of Tues- day, April 27, from an Anxious | Student in Montague. I'm hap- py to note her interest in musi- cal education, whether it is for herself or ‘her fellow students. Why not go further back than the college level to. ask ‘‘why” about musical courses? What are our high schools doing to provide musical training at a more elementary level than the colleges might need to? Why isn't there a designated music teacher in Montague Regional ; High School? It certainly isn't | because there isn't enough .nter- est to make the program worth- while |

If the Department of Educa- | tion would put music on the! curriculum as an elective sub- ject. and if local school boards or administrators would = ar- range time in the school day for this subject, the “‘musical situ- ation”. would. improve

There ‘are few high schools that dont have one or more staff members qualified and | eager to teach music if allowed to. Many of the high schools do have music and I think that is a great credit to these schoois. It's too bad that those that are in this field wouldn't try to live up to the example set by these “pioneer” | schools.
