A Cordial Welcome
Irrespective of class or creed. our‘ citizens will extend this evenlng-al lubst cordial welcome to the Right Reverend Joseph A. O‘Sullivan. D.D., Bishop 0f Charlottetown, who will be installed in his episcopal office atSt. {
- Dunstans Basilica following his ar- ‘
rival on the early Borden train.
‘The occasion has been most fit- ' tingly chosen, today being St. Dun-| starfs Day, the patron feast day of the Charlottetown diocese.
Bishop O'Sullivan, who received his appointment in February andi was consecrated in Hamilton, Orr-l
_ta.rlo, on May 7th, is distinguishedi
as a scholar, an orator and an ad- ministrator, ancl his high attain- ments will shod added lustre upon the responsible office to which lic has been called.
The reception to be given will no doubt be participated in, not only by members of the Roman Catholic body but also by our large. The arrangements, as outlined ‘n Saturday's Guardian, are now complete and the reception and in- stallation ceremonies are being look- ed forward to with great interest 111d expectation.

Passing The Buck
"At a recent meeting of the Al- ‘fance. n statement vias made by a certain gentleman that he knew of twenty-five places in this city where liquor is being sold illicltly . . . 1n discussingWhe enforcement of the Prohibition Act, it must be remem- bered that the present Government entrusted the enforcement of the law to an independent Commission. the chairman of which was recom- mended by the Temperance Al- lianceJL-Patriot editorial, May 16. 1931.
“Now that the battlc ls over, we should all settle down to business. Mr. Saunders, the incoming Premier, and his executive when selected. as well as his supporters, will no doubt fully realize that the country will look for the most rigid enforcement of the Prohibition law that has ever taken place here. There must. be no more winking zit-violations of the law, Justice must not be ‘too much tempered with mercy; too often it has been so. Bootleggers, home-brew makers and sellers and smugglers ‘of liquor, if the Liberals remain true to their pledges and true to their af- filiations with the Temperance Al-
‘ lience, must be put out of busincm."

The Radio Hearing
Little is heard from our local con- temporary those days about, the radio hearing at Ottawa. The man nei- in which this Province was made to‘ figure preliminary pro- :ecdings-much Leo's surprise-will be remembered by our readers. The mystery surrounding that transaction has not yet been cleared up, but the value to our taxpayers oz‘ the money spent on counsel foes may be judged from the following comment which ap- peared recently in a lending editor- ial in the Manitoba Free Press:
"Hitherto radio in Canada has been controlled by the Federal Gov- ernment. This control Quebec. with the approval and support of Ontario. ls challenging under clauses of the British North America Act: clauses framed sixty-four years ago, when the word radio was not even part of the language. Quebec. however. claims that these\ clauses give the provinces of Canada the right to set ‘lp and control radio stations within the provincial boundaries. Radio waves, my the Quebec lawyers, are no nare subject to Federal control than he winds, or the smoke from n. foe-l my chimney. The provinces, come-
in the
to Premier
ihority may retain control of anotlv er sort. This is the position which has been seriously advanced in legal argument by counsel for Quebec. "Radio, of course, is not only a strictly international phenomenon’: it mayyery soon be intercontinental also. A radio station broadcasting in Winnipeg may easily have its trans- mission completely destroyed by an- other station broadcasting from a city in the United States. And a radio station broadcasting in Quebec may jam the uh" oil over New Big- land. To prevent. these undesirable occurrences control is necessary; and with such a subject the form r-f cnn- trol seems obvious. It has to be con- trol by the State itself. which is the only authority competent to deal with thellnternational ramifications from radio
which are inseparable
operation.
“The case for Federal Government control is s0 apparent that the pro- vinclal claims assume an appearance which is actually comic. Counsel for Quebec declared the Federal author- ity had no more jurisdiction" over radio waves produced in Quebec than it had over the winds in Quebec. or the smoke from the Quebec fac- tory chimney. If someone in Ontario set up a wind strong enough to pass the Quebec border and blow down a Quebec village, the learned counsel might ‘take another view of such transmissions. And if a Quebec chim- ney threw out fumes which devas- tated Ontario territory, the Ontario Government might develop ideas on the subject of provincial right which it is not shotvlng in this claim for provincial control of radio.
"Quebec and Ontario have been the outstanding proponents of provincial rights. They are now asserting a claim vrhlch if it were valid, would reduce the sovereignty of the Can- adian State to futility. How could the Canadian Government negotiate international treaties for the use of radio if Quebec and Ontario could sit back in their own territory and ren- der the agreements nugatory by ar- bitrary radio provinciai operations of their own ? This prospect, however, has not prevented the provinces from bringing forward their remarkable proposals.
“The Dominion will continue to control, as heretofore; and, if judg- ment is rendered in favor of Federal control, the Government should not lose a moment in having the Domin- ion supremacy made effective in the cotvstitution of Canada. If the judg- mcnt should favor the provinces. Canada will have a fine new prob- lem on its hands for further consid- oration."
Conservative Nominations
Further evidence of the enthus- iasm and confidence oi the Conserv- ative party workers was furnished or. Saturday at the nominating con- ventions held fn the Districts of Fifth King's and Third Prince. Both conventions were largely attended and the progressive policy of the Conservative party in the coming proviz-cial campaign was outlined and discussed.
In Fifth Kings, Hon. J. D. Stewart, K. C, Conservative leader. and his former colleague in the Leg- islature, Mr. J. Howard MacDonald, were unanimously nominated amid great enthusiasm.
In Third Prince, the unanimous nomination again went to Messrs. A. F‘. Arsenault, M. l... A., and Thomas MacNutt.
At both meetings the fullest con- fidence was expressed in the choice of the candidates and ln the lead- ership of Hon. Mr. Stewart.
Meanwhile, the Lea Government continues its policy of aulky silence. It has made no announcement u to the date of the elections, and it:
nientiy. u it argued, should have tower to operate one sort of radio transmission, while the Federal nu-
followers have made no move to nomlmte candidates. Like Macaw- ber of. famous memory. they In cv-
Notes by the Way‘
The New York Evenlnk Pout pays the following tribute to H. R. H. the Prince of Wales: The Prince of Wales has returned to England from his South American tour with orders worth 850,000,000 in his pocket. The Prince of Wales is apparently taking
his duties as the British Empire's ~
leading salesman more Séflbukly than ever. It is no slight service which the Prince is rendering his country. He has discovered a function for royalty which in an earlier age might have been considered undig- nifled but which today is more tlnm justified as meeting his country's greatest need. The Prince of Wales is a salesman because England's recov- ery from her economic problems is dependent. upon the expansion of her foreign markets.
Vilhjalmur Stefansson once pointed out that there are three belts across the continent, a steed belt. above that a horse belt and in the still further north a reindeer belt. With- in each of these belts its respective animal can be profitably grown for human food. Stefansson admitted that people tn Canada and the Unit- ed States would have to be eduated to the taste of horse and reindeer flesh; but he saw no insuperable ob- stacle to success in that direction. The adoption of Christianity by his ancestors was delayed six hundred years because they preferred horse meat to a creed which forbade the eating of any animal that did not have a cloven hoof. Certain north- ern European countries today have extensive horse packing industries. whose products are consumed by their less well-to-do citizens. The reindeer is a clean feeding animal and its flesh nutritious and delect- able (once one’s palate become fa- miliar with it).
From Peru comes a report of how an exploring party flying over un- charted wilds have discovered traces of a great wall stretching for more than 30 miles and comparableto the Great Wail of China. Another item in the news tells of the discovery in Bohemia of a stone fortress thought to be about 4,000 years old. It is de- scribed as the most complete settle- ment of‘ the "new Stone Age” ever found. Nor are the results bf such investigations merely interesting and satisfying to the curious ones. A com- plete history of either one family, or of the whole human race, is useful as a guide for further progress.
The three principal thing; for children to learn, 1 think, said. Hugh Walpole in the Spectator, London. are love for their fellow-men. a. sense of humour and a sense of propor- tion. Religion and a perception of beauty come from the first, modesty and tolerance from the second, wis- dom and courage‘ from the third. But children will learn nothing from their parents if ‘they are either bullied or potted. Children are oynics, and rightly so. They have been brought into the world by no wish nor will of their own. They owe their parents nothing unless they learn to love them, and then they owe them every» thing. No attempt to shelter them will insure their safety nor are they intended to be safe. Life is not. a thing to be safe in, nor is happiness the chief aim of it.

FOOD REQUIREMENTS IN MEN- TAL AND PHYSICAL WORK
Just why mental workers think they have to eat much food as those who work with their bodies and hands, is hard to understand.
“A distinguished physiologist has recently reported the results of painstaking investigations as to the amount of food or fuel the body re- quires for one hour's intensive men- tal effort." He tells us that less than half an oyster cracker, or less than half of a peanut, is all that is needed to supply that whole hour of mental effort. _
What about the amount of food necessary to do manual work? One hour of the hardest kind of work such as long distance running, moun- taln climbing, or rowing, would take hundreds of times as much food as for mental work.
And the wonderful part about food eaten by man is that he gets two to four times as much energy from it as the most wonderful boiler or engine can produce. The ordinary locomo- tive produces about 4 per cent energy and 96 per cent. is wasted as heat. In the best. triple expansion steam engine the work done rises to 12V.- per cent.
In man 30 per cent or more is pro- duced during hard muscular work.
"Thus, muscle is more economical than the best steam engines; but the muscle has the great advantage over any engine that the heat which is produced is not wasted but ls used to keep up the body temperature, the fall of which below a certain point would lead to death, not only of the muscles, but of the body generally."
Under extreme- effort such as sprinting-loll to 440 yards-Dr. W. O. Fenn, University of Rochester, has been able to show that a. man expencls in energy about 13 horse power. Men or women doing hard physical work of any kind every day are going to need ‘much more food than those whose occupation is sit- ting at a desk all day. Now the ques- tion is, just how much should an of- fice man or waxnn eat, and also the working man or woman.
The first point to remember is that they E11 need a certain amount of food to keep the body processes 8011181 four fifths of the total intake being used for this purpose, and the other fifth for physical work.
A man 5 feet 'l inches tall, weigh- ing 150 pounds, working outdoors, should consume 4 pounds of solids and 2 pounds of- liquids in the 24 hours. An oflice man of his height and weight should eat about Sig pounds of solids and 2 pounds of liquids, ‘thus cutting dawn his solids by at least half a pound,
The May Festival
(Montreal Gazette)
How the month of May became so named is doubtful. Of much greater interest is the gay livery she wears. Chaucer coils May “tire glad month" fr. a good lead. We arc told that the May Day raditlons run back to anci- ent Roman times. Thty arc much more aged. They run bcck to the day at Eden whcn rpi-iixgtlnc first visited our earth.
