CHABLOTTETOWN, V;'ED.NESDAY, NOV. 29, 105i).

' charter For Wing: '"

Today is scheduled the presentation of its charter to the recently organized Wing 3f the Air Force Association in Summer- side. Mr. G. M. Mulholland is the first president and the association has the task of stimulating public interest in the R". C. A. F. and of assisting the air force and air- men in every possible way.

The Wing will provide a link between the Air Cadets and the community which is highly necessary if that body is to serve sir-minded youngsters to best advantage.

After the major air effort of this coun- try in the Second World War there is avail- able a large group of ex-airmen who are keenly interested in seeing Canada keep in front in the matter of flying. The Associa- tion provides a channel by which their in- terest can be made effective for the well- being of the Air Force and flying person- nel.

There will always be a question mark about Dieppe-that ill-fated attack in August, 1942 on Nazi Europe which cost so heavily in Canadian lives. Therefore it will be of comfort to note what Rt. Hon. Winston Churchill says of the engagement in his latest valume. He writes:

”Looking back, the casualties of this memorable action may seem out of pro- portion to the results. It would be wrong to judge the episode solely by such a stan- dard. Dieppe occupies a place of its own in the story of the war, and the grim casualty figures-must not class it as a failure. It was a costly but not unfruitful reconnaissance-in-force. Tactically it was a mine of experience. It shed revealing light on many shortcomings in our out- look. It taught us to build in good time various new types of craft and appliances for later use. We learnt again the value of powerful support by heavy naval guns in an opposed landing, and our bambard- ment technique, both marine and aerial, was thereafter improved. Above all it was shown that individual skill and gallantry without thorough organization and com- bined training would not prevail, and that team work was the secret of success. This could only be provided by trained and or- ganized amphibious formations. All these lessons were taken to heart.

"Strategically the raid served to make the Germans more conscious of danger along the whole coast of Occupied France. This helped to hold troops and resources in the west. which did something to take the weight off Russia. Honor to the brave who fell. Their sacrifice was not in vain."

Farm Implements Museum

The Winnipeg Free Press recalls that when Mr. J. L. Phelps was Minister of Re- sources in the C. C. F. Government of Saskatchewan, one of his projects which met with unqualified approval was the es- tablishment of a farm implement museum. glt came back into the news the other day with the issuing of complaints by Manito- bans that many of that province's agricul- tural relics were being lost to tile Sas- katchewan museum.

The museum is divided into two parts, one at North Battleford and the other at Saskatoon. No one with any appreciation of the hardships of the pioneers can visit It without experiencing a feeling of awe combined with amazement at the technical progress in agricultural production since those early days. There are the huge old steam engines and grain-separators, and their accoutrements, the threshing gangls caboose and the tank wagon. Of even more Interest perhaps to the farmer long aq- customed to the relatively small modern tractors are the gasoline and kerosene trac- tion engines of bygone days, thelold Hart Parrs, Adance Rumleys and other makes with names once familiar but now forgot- ten.

The most unforgetable thing about them

is their size. To the mind accustomed to ,.,littlc tractors, they- seem almost as din- iaosuurs, huge, reptilian and fearsome. Even Tito the maniwho once operated one, it

Motherwell when he was striv- ing to organize the old Territorial Grain Growers Association in the early days of' this century. There is a fascinating sec- tion of automobiles, many well over 40 years old and some that are marked "in running order." .

All in all, the Saskatchewan museum is

tory that exists anywhere. It shows what can be done in the way of preserving his- torical relices by men with vision and initi- ative.

In every community unless it is quite lacking in civic enterprise, there is apt to be one in particular who inspires and en- courages youthful theatrical effort. Such is Mrs. Ruby M. Houle, C. D. A., and her pupils and ex-pupils owe her a debt of gratitude as does the community general-

In another year it is to be expected suf- ficient help will be forthcoming at Toronto Winter Fair to see that our exhibitors, es- pecially in the swine classes, get an even break in preparing and arranging their ex- hibits to attract the eyes of the judges, and to sweep the board of prizes.

It will be a memorable event in the lives of the Jones children of Prince County when a naval launch from Halifax arrives at Summerside with two rockers sent them respectively by their grandparents in Bris- tol, England, and journalists in Hamilton, Bermuda.

Anticipating cold, wet fall days when Junior forgets his rubbers, or little Mary would rather have the wind toss her hair than wear a hat, parental firmness is ad- vised by the Department of Health. The old adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," still holds good, accord- ing to the Health Department which re- cently issued some reasonable rules for child health. A few of its tenets are: Wear rubbers when it rains: overwork and fa- tigue should be avoided; keep feet warm; basic nourishment such as milk, fruit, eggs and meat should be taken at each meal; a hot, cup or beret should be worn when outside. Above all the department advises parents to warn children against carelessness in health matters, and to call I doctor at the first sign of disorder, so

By "Anson"

LONDON, England:

All you have to do to get rich quick is forecast correctly the re- sults of a few of our Saturday sf- ternoon football games. The odds against you are fantastic-several millions to one if you are after the big money-but the prospect of a fortune of anything up to about a hundred thousand pounds (say, three hundred thousand dollars for a nice round figure) from a stake that need be only sixpcnce (about seven-and-a-half cents) make the odds well worth facing. Millions of us take the chance every week, and every week just one or txwo succeed. The unsuc- cessful ones keep on trying, for despite the astronomical odds you never know your luck-it might be you one day...

You never know your luck! How important that is, for Lady Luck plays a leading role in the weekly drama. Despite all your study of form, for all your meticulous plan- ning and careful dbservance of all foreseeable contingencies, without a lot of luck you may as well not bother.

C O I

This is a fact: that is coming more and more to be recognized. and as a result the methods of forecast- ing long held to be the only pos- sible methods with a chance of success are coming in for a. certain amount of change. By tradition if nothing else men, and only men. have been reckoned to appreciate the -full significance of football in modern society. whilst their wom- enfolk considered it 9. rather juv- enile practice for small boys who never grew up. Consequently it used to be a ritual for the man of the house to settle down on an evening in mid-week. surround himself with paper and pencils and the current football league tables, and work it all out with the utmost patience. skill and... hopel His wife's rather insignific- ant role was to keep the neigh- bours at bay and get the children off to bed swiftly and unobtrus- ively so as not to interfere with the great work.

Nowadays. as a result of the luck in the proceedings. the lad- les have a much more positive part to play. The masculine experts having realized sadly that form and logic count for naught. the fair sex play their hunches. act. on intuition or make a thoughtful forecast of results based on num- bers: on such numbers. for in- stance. as the date of Aunt May's birthday. the total of stitches in A given knitting pattern row. the year In which Cousin Maud got married. and the number of kit- ten: the cat had last time.

O O O

The male disdain of such sncrll- ege is only exceeded by astonish- ment when, on occasion. it results in a first prize and the "expert" is compelled for evermore to hang his head in shame. .

So it is seen that the large ele- ment of chance in the proceedings makes the whole thing something of an gamble, whereupon moralities come into question, raising all sorts of issues that had for years remained dormant. Perhaps they would have been left undisturbed still but for the tremendous growth in the popularity of the "pools." as they are known to one and all.

It has . sched the proportions

of it major industry. employing many thousands of clerks and handling millions of d in

cash. True. many of the clerks are spare time workers, whose ser- vices are given just at weekends to help in the enormous task of checking the forecasts of millions of hopeful clients: but the fact that so large 1 stuff is required is sufficient proof of the scale of the operators of the pools. Small won- der, then. that questions are alk- ed. for instance. in Parliament. Snail wonder also that a Royal commission on gambling. whou report is expected fairly noon, to oertnin to have acme recommend- ations to make on a delicate prob- lem. Delicate indeed. for whoever would interfere-with football pool: is likely to find himself in s hor- nel.I' neat. O O I Perhaps those who look ulunce and with misgivings at the spect- nclo of minions of people gambling week by week in the hope of Ichlevlm great wealth attach too much importance to the moral: of the matter.

Beside, it's a form of ment t.h t benefits the ment-they tax the prize before the winners can lay hands on it. What is more. in order to keep within the law the stake money must be paid through the mail, by postal money orders, not cash, and the revenue on all those postal orders every week, not to mention the stamps involved, makes a healthy tinkle in the Ex- chequer'5 hoffers. It would be a very, very high-minded Treasury indeed that failed to be just a. lit- tle apprehensive lest too many questions should lead to the slay- ing of this particular goose, so full of golden eggs.
