Board 0f Trade

There is a movement afoot to stir up intcr- est in the Charlottetown Board of Trade.

Representative of business, professional and non-professional, the Board of Trade is and has been the sounding board for matters of public interest. It rightfully should be the leading organization in our City and Pfovince.

Many citizens, past and present, have given ungrudgiirgly of their time and taI-ant for the welfare of the community, and it is essential now that the younger generation of business men be prepared to take over and carry on successfully in this icsycct. In fact the young men in the City rric beginning to asscrt an interest in pub- lic affairs, and this is nowhere more welcomed than among the older members of the Board it- self.

lt is understood it is the desire and purpose of the newly elected Council of the Board, under President Carl Burke, to secure the services of o permanent secretary. It is felt through the appointment of such an official a continuity of purpose and planning could be the more read- ily achieved.

The enthusiasm and sincerity of the new council are to be commended. Today, as pos- sibly nevcr bcfcrc, there is a need for enlighten- ment on public affairs, and where may this bet- ter be obtained than by untrammeled discussion at our Board of Trade?

Two Good Speeches

Two interesting contributions to the Leg- lslative debate this week were those of Mr. Sav- ille and Mr. Matheson. Both are educated, well rnformcd men ofwhom any community may justly be proud. Thcy are both‘ in the happy position of being able to think on their feet, and to dis- cuss questions at issue from a background of practical knowledge. Mr. Saville is an old- timer, trained in the school of domestic happi- ness inspired by a love of-book-learning and good literature, and can usually be counted upon to adorn a debate by his contribution. His especial bete noir is intemperance, and he has always consistently supported temperance legis- lation even to the unhappy extent of total pro- hibition. He now, after bitter experience of the evil consequences of moonshine, bootlegging and extracts has come to realize that it might be better for all concerned to abandon doctors’ scripts entirely. "I think myseIf," he says, "that if we are not going back to total-prohibition, the wise thing is to throw the gates wide open; not charge a dollar for a script and five dollars for a bottle of liquor on top of that." We are not in the secrets of what transpires behind the closed doors of the caucus, but it would not be an unfair conclusion to draw from this remark that the Government is seriously considering an extension and expansion of their liquor policy.

Mr. Matheson is a fine sample of the rising generation of politicians, who are practical and successful in their business life, and at the some time have a desire and inclination to place their abilities at the disposal of the commun- ity in which they live. Mr. Matheson is active in every good work, and brings a trained in- tellect to bear on questions affecting Church and State. He was especially effective’ in his criticism of the disgraceful road achievements of Mr. Borbcur's department, and though Mr. Stewart attempted to come to his colleague's relief, Mr. Matheson speedily demonstrated that Mr. Stewart's idea of a straight furrow is not such as would win commendation in a ploughing match. -

Senator McIntyre To The Rescue

. The Senate by a substantial majority of 38 to Z2 voted down thc bill which would have per- mitted th: importation of oleornargarine into Canada in competition with farrncrs' butter. The bill was fothcrcd by Senator Euler of Waterloo, Ont., in the interests of industrial centres, and was opposed generally by representatives of both parties from all aver Canada. The margarinites had a perfectly reasonable argument in advo- cating the measure, viz., the scarcity of butter, and the d-csire to provide a substitute for hcusewives in urban centres. The chief oppon- en.‘ was Senator McIntyre, who, in a well-in- formed and effective speech proved convincing- Iv that to open the door to this kind of butter- substitute, would be to knock the bottom out of dairying as a Canadian industry, and open the door wide, not only to margarine but to butter from New Zcaland and possibly Den- mark as vrcll. Hcre is how the Senator des- cribed tlic work on a dairy farm:

"l am speaking on behalf of the farmer who makes his living from a small herd of cat- tle. This country has innumerable farmers who have only six or seven head of cattle. That type of farmer gets up at five o'clock in the morn- ing, milks his cows, separates the cream and takes it to the milk stand, where it is picked up by a truck and taken to the factory. That is his only means of livelihood until his crops are harvested. He gets his cream cheque once or twice a month, and that pays for his groceries and helps to maintain his family during the summer months.

"If we permitted the manufacture of oleo- margarine‘ in Canada, and it was placed in every grocery store from the Atlantic to the Pacific at a few cents I pound cheaper than butter,

would anyone expect the housewife not to choose olebmargarine? Butter would be left on our shelves, and the reaction would put the small dairy former out of business. That is the history of those things."

The farmers of the Province owe o debt of gratitude to the Senator for his able advocacy of their cause, and the success attending his effort.

Britain is setting up a memorial to honour Nurses of the Empire for their wartime sacrifice and service. Mrs. Attlee held a special meeting at Downing Street recently to launch a national appeal. It was attended by many prominent per- sons connected with the nursing profession. The fund is being entitled British Empire Nurses War Memorial Fund-of which Her Majesty the Queen has consented ito *bec‘ome a patron.

Trainee pilots at a flying school near Syd- ney, shoot with the bow for relaxation. Hundreds of rabbits emerge each evening from warrens along the near by river-bank and pro- vide targets for the pilots. A rabbit will sit unperturbed with a dozen arrows around him, probably because an arrow is noiseless and doesn't roll, like a stone, after flight. The Chief instructor at the school explains that archery helps fliers. Early in World War I, British war pilots were taught to use the bow and arrow be- cause the co-ordinotion of eye and muscle re- quired in archery is akin to the co-ordination

required in flying. . Q

Emmanuel Swcdcnborg, Swedish theologian and founder of the scct bearing his name, died this date I772; he claimed to have been called by the Lord to unfold th-e true, because interior, teachings of the Divine word on all Christian doctrine; he was an able scientist as well, an- ticipating many morlcrn discoveries, and wrote numerous scientific works; his religious works include Canons of the New Church, Heaven and Hell, The Last Judgment: "Self-love and the love of the world constitute hell. . What a man thinks in his spirit in the world, that he does after his departure from the world when

he becomes a spirit." .

Ottawa discussion (says Letter Review), re- volves around the date of ci General Election‘ and the Prime Minister's health. Thcre are per- sistent rumours of dissolution as soon as the estimates, the budget, control legislation and a redistribution Bill hove been passed. The date of on election, and the personal plans of a Prime Minister are matters almost always with- in his discretion. Setting aside the improbable event of acute internal trouble in the Liberal Party, and hoping that Mr. King's health will be such that he will be free to choose the ma- ment of his retirement, it is clear that he is the only person who can throw any light on the two questions which are under discussion. It is gen- erally known that he has given no one any clear indication of his intentions. The rumours, how- ever, persist, and it is taken for granted at Ot- tawa that there will be a general election in the second half of 1947, with the Prime Minister, if his health permits, I-eoding his party, with the intention of retiring as soon as the election is

over-win or lose. i

Three years ago next wcek, on April 2, 1944, the Press of the Allied world proclaimed ihe fact that the Russians had swept into Ru- mania. The following doy, American troops oc- cupied ten more atolls in the Marshall Islands. . A year later, on March 30, 1945, the Rus- sians coptured Danzig at just about the some time Canadians were taking over the German city of Emmerich. That some doy went down in history as the doy on which no fewer than 100,000 Germans, encircled and trapped in the Ruhr, surrendered. Allied Armies poured into Europe virtually unopposed and by the 31st of March had pushed 50 to I00 mllos east of the Rhino and hod reached Munster, Kassel, Fuldo and Wurzbiirg. The First Canadian Army mov- ed into Holland on the left of the Second Brit- ish Army, and U. S. forces landed on Okinawa. On April 1, the Second British Army cleared

Rheims and Hengelo and on April 3, the First

Canadian Army captured Zutphen. The next day, moving 'fast and striking hard, the Can-

odious cleared Almelo. . . .
